    VinFast Partners with 6 E-Scooter Dealers in Indonesia, Accelerating Nationwide Market Expansion

    JAKARTA, INDONESIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 March 2026 – VinFast announced the signing of strategic Memoranda of Understanding with six electric scooter dealers in Indonesia, marking a new milestone in the expansion of its distribution network in one of the largest scooter markets in the region and globally. The agreement reaffirms the company’s long-term commitment to accelerating transport electrification and building a comprehensive green mobility ecosystem in Indonesia.

    Representatives of VinFast and dealer partners in Indonesia at the signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the distribution of e-scooters.

    In preparation for the launch of its electric scooters in Q2/2026, VinFast has signed additional MOUs with six dealers, including PT. IB Motor, PT. Sentrik, PT. Axara Marani, PT. Sukses Sejati Indonesia, PT. Tangguh Inti Motor, and PT. Kiki Motor Persada. These partners are distributors with strong experience in key markets and share a common direction toward green mobility solutions.

    Under the MOUs, VinFast and its partners will collaborate closely to open showrooms in strategic areas with strong potential for transport electrification, including Jabodetabek, West Java, East Java, and Bali. With high population density, rapid urbanization, and strong mobility demand, these regions are central to VinFast’s expansion strategy in Indonesia.

    The showrooms will comply with VinFast’s global standards. In the initial phase, the network will distribute battery swap models such as the VinFast Flazz, VinFast Evo, VinFast Feliz II, and VinFast Viper, while gradually introducing new models tailored to local infrastructure conditions and the usage habits of Indonesian consumers.

    Indonesia has one of the world’s largest scooter markets, with annual sales reaching millions of units. Amid early-stage e-scooter adoption and the Government’s push toward a green energy transition, Indonesia’s e-scooter market is entering an accelerated growth phase, creating clear opportunities for companies with long-term strategies and integrated ecosystem development.

    VinFast is among the first manufacturers in the market to take a proactive role in building a comprehensive ecosystem to support e-scooters from the early stages of market entry preparation. In addition to expanding its distribution network, the company is working closely with strategic partners to develop aftersales services and energy solutions, notably the battery swapping station model deployed by global charging infrastructure developer V-Green.

    Upon the official launch of VinFast e-scooters, customers will be able to access V-Green’s battery swapping stations currently being piloted in the Jabodetabek area, offering a flexible and convenient electric mobility experience. This integrated approach, spanning product, infrastructure, and services, not only creates a sustainable competitive advantage but also sets new standards for the market.

    Previously, VinFast announced its strategy to introduce electric scooters to international markets and signed MOUs with dealers in the Philippines. In 2026, the company plans to accelerate electric scooter expansion across five key international markets: the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Thailand, and Malaysia.

    Ms. Vo Thi Cam Tu, Managing Director of VinFast E-Scooters Overseas Market, stated: “Expanding cooperation with Indonesian dealers demonstrates VinFast’s determination to rapidly establish a strong distribution and service network in this market. We are not only delivering high-quality products but also deploying a comprehensive ecosystem, from sales and after-sales services to charging and battery swap infrastructure, to build a sustainable and long-term foundation alongside our local partners.”

    After two years in Indonesia, VinFast has introduced a diverse electric vehicle lineup ranging from SUVs to commercial transport models, while also commencing operations at its Subang plant. The company has continued to strengthen its green mobility ecosystem by expanding dealership and service networks, developing charging infrastructure in partnership with V-Green, and collaborating with major banks and financial institutions. In 2026, the company officially enters the Indonesian e-scooter market, marking the next step in its sustainable development and investment strategy in the country. Through flexible policies and a long-term investment commitment, VinFast is progressively enabling Indonesian consumers to access and participate more actively in the global green transport transition.

  • 永明金融調查揭示亞洲退休兩極化: 有人自主延遲退休,有人被迫為生計堅持

    永明金融調查揭示亞洲退休兩極化: 有人自主延遲退休,有人被迫為生計堅持

    • 亞洲浮現兩種退休模式:財務準備充足者可以自主選擇延長工作年期,而準備不足者則因經濟壓力被迫推遲退休。
    • 69% 受訪者預期或已於達到退休年齡後繼續工作。
    • 62% 受訪者指維持收入是他們繼續工作的主要原因,其餘則為追求人生意義與滿足感(49%)、維持社交關係(47%),以及保持心智活躍(41%)。
    • 81% 受訪者認為退休屬個人選擇。
    • 使用生成式 人工智能(AI) 工具作為資訊來源的比例由 12% 倍增至 22%。

    香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年3月6日 – 永明金融最新發佈的亞洲退休調查顯示,隨著亞洲人口老化,區內人士對於退休準備的差距正日益擴大。雖然許多受訪者在退休年齡後選擇繼續工作,惟不少人是因為財政壓力而被迫延遲退休,可見退休準備不均的問題日趨嚴峻,突顯制定長遠退休計劃刻不容緩。

    目前,亞洲佔全球60歲以上人口約六成,預計未來 25 年將倍增至 13 億[1]。在人口結構轉變、退休規劃週期縮短,及對自主型AI 工具依賴日增的多重影響下,區內人士將面臨更多的挑戰。

    是次名為《規劃退休生活:亞洲退休兩極化》的調查發現,大部分受訪者(69%)預期會在退休年齡後繼續工作。對部分受訪者而言,這體現其對生活彈性與身心健康的追求,他們持續工作是為了追求人生意義與滿足感(49%)、維持社交關係(47%),以及保持心智活躍(41%)。然而,這亦反映部分受訪者的財務壓力,近三分之二(62%)的受訪者表示需要持續工作以應付日常開支及建立長遠財務保障。

    永明金融亞洲區首席客戶及分銷官David Broom表示:「我們觀察到的並非單一的退休歷程,而是兩種截然不同的現實。對於準備充足的人而言,延長工作是一種提升生活彈性和自由的選擇;但對準備不足的人而言,則是由財政壓力所致。因此,及早且全面的規劃將影響大眾的退休步伐。」

    延遲退休的兩種現實:自由的選擇與沉重的義務

    調查揭示,亞洲退休族群分為兩類人士:「優秀規劃者」與「被動延退族」。前者財政預備充足,能自主選擇如何及何時淡出職場;後者則因為經濟負擔被迫延遲退休。

    對「優秀規劃者」而言,繼續工作是基於對人生意義、身份認同和身心健康的追求(53%),高於「被動延退族」的43%。相比之下,17%的「被動延退族」不確定會否在退休後繼續工作,而47%的「優秀規劃者」則預期或已在退休後繼續工作。

    對計劃或已經較預期遲退休的「被動延退族」而言,財政壓力是最常見的原因。逾半(52%)表示因需要更多儲蓄而延遲退休。

    然而,「優秀規劃者」延遲退休更常是出於選擇而非財政所迫,他們的常見動機是保持身心活躍(53%),另有逾三成人則表示享受工作社交(34%)。延長職業生涯對「優秀規劃者」是自主權與選擇的體現,而對「被動延退族」而言,則更多是迫於財政壓力。

    香港永明金融有限公司人壽及康健業務副行政總裁楊娟博士表示:「隨住市民愈趨長壽,但仍有不少人無法確定自己能否安享退休生活。因此,保險業界的角色變得至為關鍵,透過提供專業指導與方案,將種種不確定轉化為賦能,協助大眾構建充滿無限可能、無憂的黃金晚年。」

    生成式 AI 成為退休規劃的潛在風險

    隨著更多人使用生成式 AI 進行財務決策,調查揭示缺乏專業指導下自主規劃退休的風險正逐漸增加。使用 ChatGPT、Google Gemini 等工具的比例由去年調查的 12% ,倍增至 22%。

    同時,受訪者循傳統渠道尋求建議的比例有所下降,僅35%表示會諮詢銀行,34% 會尋求獨立理財顧問意見,較 2024 年的 43% 及 41% 有所減少。此趨勢反映數碼工具的便利性與吸引力,但亦同時擴大退休規劃的財務知識缺口。

    David Broom補充:「人工智能可以作為有用的切入點,但它往往缺乏長期財務保障所需的細緻和個人化考量。隨著科技重塑退休規劃方式的同時,專業意見對確保決策明智、全面平衡且符合個人目標仍是不可或缺。」

    財務安全與退休信心息息相關

    財務安全是影響退休樂觀程度的核心因素。於嚮往退休生活的非退休人士中(45%),59%將財務安全列為主要原因,其次則是生活穩定(38%)和更大自由度(27%)。相反,缺乏保障會令人對退休感到悲觀,在不期待晚年生活的非退休人士中(55%),近半(45%)歸因於財務不安全,其次是擔心無法為家庭提供經濟支持(43%)。

    大眾的退休規劃週期仍然偏短:22%的受訪者表示退休前未有制定任何計劃,另有28%僅在離開全職工作前兩年開始規劃。只有22%的受訪者對其退休計劃充滿信心。

    許多亞洲在職人士正面臨俗稱「三文治世代」的經濟壓力,即同時需要供養長輩及年幼子女。這導致許多人縮減對生活水平的期望(36%)或延遲退休計劃(26%)。

    越來越多人希望自主決定離開職場的時間點,81%的受訪者認為退休應屬個人選擇而非強制受年齡限制。而不同世代的調查結果亦反映上述觀點,近半數Z世代受訪者(48%)對此表示強烈認同,嬰兒潮世代的受訪者則為36%。另外,四分之三受訪者支持在法定退休年齡後繼續工作。

    健康乃退休生活的財富

    當前的健康狀況與期望,塑造我們對退休生活的憧憬。因此,保持健康與對晚年保持樂觀態度息息相關。

    在近年對退休的看法有所改變的受訪者中,最常被提及的原因是身體健康比預期好(49%)或心理健康有所改善(43%)。而健康欠佳亦對退休計劃造成負面影響,在較預期提早退休的受訪者中,32% 表示健康不佳為主要原因。

    楊娟博士續稱:「健康就是財富,既影響何時退休,同時決定晚年的生活質素。Sun Life永明瞭解客戶不斷演變的需求,致力為他們提供全面的退休規劃方案。繼去年推出即享年金計劃,我們將繼續履行使命,協助客戶實現終身財務保障,活出更健康人生。」

  • Money20/20 Asia Report: APAC Fintech Ecosystem Shifts from Experimentation to Scale as AI and Digital Assets Drive Regional Leadership

    Money20/20 Asia Report: APAC Fintech Ecosystem Shifts from Experimentation to Scale as AI and Digital Assets Drive Regional Leadership

    BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 March 2026 – Money20/20, the world’s leading fintech show and the place where money does business, unveiled its annual Future of Fintech in APAC report ahead of Money20/20 Asia in Bangkok on April 21-23 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. The whitepaper reveals APAC’s fintech ecosystem has reached a pivotal inflection point, shifting from experimentation to production-grade innovation across AI, digital payments, and assets.

    Source: Money20/20
    Source: Money20/20

    Based on insights from over 130 senior fintech leaders, the report highlights an industry moving beyond pilot programs toward enterprise-scale solutions that prioritize collaboration, digital trust, and financial inclusion as core business imperatives for 2026.

    Key Findings

    • 22.9% of respondents identify the region as their primary growth target, underscoring its continued dominance as the region’s growth engine.
    • 90.6% of executives say social good initiatives are now embedded in corporate strategy — confirming impact has become a commercial imperative.
    • 61.2% of organizations have already adopted AI or machine learning.
    • New frameworks in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan are driving institutional adoption of stablecoins and tokenized assets.
    • 63.5% of leaders cite fraud prevention as their highest operational priority.

    “APAC is no longer experimenting — it’s executing,” said Ian Fong, VP of Content at Money20/20 Asia. “The region is building financial infrastructure that is faster, safer, and more inclusive than ever before. What happens here will influence the future of money globally.”

    Digital Trust Becomes the New Currency

    With digital adoption accelerating, 63.5% of leaders identify fraud prevention as their top priority. Regulators and industry players are now pivoting toward real-time risk intelligence and AI-driven security.

    “The speed of digital adoption in APAC has outpaced traditional fraud models,” said Justin Lie, Founder & CEO of SHIELD. “What we’re seeing now is a shift toward real-time, device-level intelligence that operates silently in the background. Trust is the new currency of digital finance, and the companies that embed it in every interaction while delivering a frictionless experience will define the future of the industry.”

    Stablecoins Move into Mainstream Financial Infrastructure

    Institutional engagement with stablecoins and tokenized financial instruments has grown significantly, supported by clearer regulatory frameworks emerging across Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan.

    “Across Asia, stablecoins are already embedded in real economic activity from payments and cross-border settlements to treasury optimization,” said Yam Ki Chan, Vice President, Asia Pacific at Circle. “The region is demonstrating how digital assets can scale within financial systems, and the next phase is about interoperability and the development of an economic operating system for the internet”.

    Digital Lending Expands Financial Access

    The report highlights 72.9% of respondents believe SME-tailored fintech solutions are key to APAC’s economic growth, signaling a widening opportunity for inclusive financial innovation.

    “Financial inclusion isn’t achieved by simply putting products online — it requires building for the realities of everyday consumers,” said Moritz Gastl, General Manager of Tala Philippines. “In markets like the Philippines, trust, transparency, and flexibility matter just as much as credit scoring. Digital lending works when it empowers people, not when it replicates old systems with new interfaces.”

    Looking Ahead: Collaboration Will Define the Next Decade

    As AI scales, payment rails interconnect, and digital assets enter regulated markets, APAC is emerging as a global blueprint for future financial systems.
    “The next wave of fintech innovation will be defined by how well we balance technological advancement with social impact,” added Fong. “APAC markets are proving that financial innovation and inclusion can advance together.”

  • Huawei Highlights Digital Inclusion and Conservation Tech as AI Use Accelerates

    Huawei Highlights Digital Inclusion and Conservation Tech as AI Use Accelerates

    BARCELONA, SPAIN – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 March 2026 – Huawei gathered partners, policymakers and international media in Barcelona on March 1 and 2, ahead of Mobile World Congress, to discuss narrowing connectivity and digital skills gaps as artificial intelligence spreads through sectors including healthcare, finance and public services.

    image-1.jpeg

    About 80 guests attended the first day’s forum at the Leonardo Royal Hotel Barcelona Fira. In remarks published by Huawei, Yang Chaobin, CEO of Huawei ICT BG, said the digital divide “seems to be widening further” even as AI accelerates. “High-speed networks and robust computing facilities are essential foundations for an inclusive and sustainable AI era,” he said.

    image between paragraph 2 and 3.jpg

    The International Telecommunication Union estimates about 2.2 billion people were still offline in 2025. Dr. Cosmas Zavazava, director of the ITU’s Telecommunication Development Bureau, said inclusion must be treated as a prerequisite for the AI era.

    “AI must strengthen meaningful connectivity and support inclusive digital transformation. This requires responsible AI governance, investment in local talent and content, and capacity building, particularly for young girls, women, indigenous communities and marginalized groups.”

    Huawei said it has fulfilled a commitment under the ITU Partner2Connect Digital Coalition to help expand connectivity in remote regions. By the end of 2025, the company said its initiatives had supported digital access for 170 million people in rural and underserved areas across more than 80 countries. In a Huawei news release, Jeff Wang, president of Huawei Public Affairs and Communications, said: “To bridge the digital skills gap, Huawei works closely with governments and partners to enhance digital access, deliver skills training, and advance STEM education for underserved communities.”

    On March 2, the focus shifted to conservation with a visit to Spain’s Natural Park of Sant Llorenç del Munt i l’Obac. Here, digital monitoring tools are being used to support biodiversity protection, including efforts to safeguard the endangered Bonelli’s eagle alongside better managing potential impacts from outdoor activities like climbing on rock-dwelling birds and caving on protected bat species. The project forms part of the Tech4Nature initiative, developed with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to support digital tools in protected areas across 11 countries.

    Sònia Llobet, the park’s director, said the project is helping managers balance visitor access with nature protection.

    “As park managers, our challenge is how to make visitor access compatible with the conservation of this natural space,” she said. “This project is helping us answer some of the questions we face in balancing tourism and environmental protection.”

  • Correcting and Replacing: Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra Ushers in New Premium Era

    Correcting and Replacing: Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra Ushers in New Premium Era

    Thanks to powerful partnerships with industry leaders, NOTE 60 Ultra represents Infinix’s boldest entry in the flagship tier, debuting in Barcelona during MWC 2026

    BARCELONA, SPAIN – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 March 2026 – Infinix is cementing its status within the premium smartphone segment in a bold new way with NOTE 60 Ultra, its landmark flagship debuting in Barcelona during Mobile World Congress 2026.

    Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra Design by Pininfarina
    Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra Design by Pininfarina

    Co-developed with Italian automotive and design legend Pininfarina, NOTE 60 Ultra’s design is driven by an emotion-led aesthetic inspired by super cars. Beneath its bold design lies a fully realized flagship experience, integrating breakthrough in-house innovations with best-in-class partner technologies. A professional-grade 200MP ultra-high-definition imaging system, built-in multi-country satellite communication connectivity, and immersive audio precision-tuned by SOUND BY JBL come together to challenge expectations in the premium segment.

    Supercar Design DNA in a Flagship, Shaped by Pininfarina

    In the premium segment, the design language is a device’s opening statement. A user’s perception at first glance is shaped by aesthetics, long before a single specification is considered.

    Drawing inspiration from the aerodynamic philosophy and pioneering spirit of high-performance sports cars, Infinix, in partnership with Pininfarina, takes a radical departure in sculpting a flagship. What stands out immediately is what’s missing: the camera bump. As premium handsets adopt larger sensors, they often sacrifice form with increasingly protruding camera modules.

    True to the sports car heritage, NOTE 60 Ultra introduces a fully integrated, single-body rear: the Aluminum Unibody Design. At the heart of this craftsmanship is the World’s 1st Uni-Chassis Cam Module, formed a single, continuous sheet of CORNING® GORILLA® GLASS VICTUS that virtually conceals the presence of the camera. Much like a supercar sculpted for low-drag, the rear design maintains a smooth, uninterrupted silhouette. This also ensures a natural in-hand feel and unobtrusively slips into any pocket, while reinforcing the phone’s durability and structural integrity.

    Paying homage to Italian cultural and racing heritage, NOTE 60 Ultra arrives in four striking colorways: Torino Black, Monza Red, Amalfi Blue, and Roma Silver. Each hue draws inspiration from the most iconic scenes and legends of Italy’s motorsport and cultural history, capturing the spirit of speed, lifestyle, and emotional beauty.

    Just as a supercar announces its ignition through sound and light, NOTE 60 Ultra mirrors the ritual. A Floating Taillight signature spans the rear, illuminating as the device powers on. And as a final nod to automotive heritage, NOTE 60 Ultra features an Active Matrix Display reminiscent of a supercar dashboard at startup. Concealed within the rear surface, the hidden display lights up to reveal notifications, expressive icons, or a pixel-style virtual companion.

    Dual Flagship Cameras for Detail, Zoom, and True-to-Life Imaging

    Although discreet at first glance, Infinix makes no concessions on camera performance and earmarks a new era for Infinix’s imaging capability. Delivering performance on par with industry-leading standards, Infinix’s Dual Flagship Imaging Architecture marks several brand-first breakthroughs and improvements across three dimensions, reinforcing its position as a signature offering.

    Under the hood, it’s clear that NOTE 60 Ultra refuses to settle for less. Discreetly integrated within the Uni-Chassis Cam Module is a powerful triple-camera array. Anchored by a next-generation 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HPE sensor, NOTE 60 Ultra delivers ultra-high-definition clarity. And ensuring flagship-grade versatility across focal lengths, the phone is complemented by a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN5 periscope telephoto lens and a 112° ultra-wide lens.

    However, hardware alone does not define the full experience. For the first time, Infinix supports the XDR display standard with Ultra HDR Capture. Powered by a proprietary XDR Image Engine, Infinix’s advanced system delivers a superior dynamic range, ideal for true-to-life photos of bright lights at night or breathtaking sunset scenes.

    The result is exceptional resolution that sets a higher bar for precise framing in daylight or after dark, while faithfully preserving details often lost in standard photography. Whether exploring daytime cityscapes or distant horizons, NOTE 60 Ultra excels with its advanced optical‑to‑digital zoom performance. Crisp, detailed shots are captured across a versatile zoom range, from a 2× optical crop and native 3.5× optical zoom to a 7× lossless digital zoom, extending up to 100× for extreme distances.

    Expansive Satellite Calling and Messaging Coverage

    Beyond what meets the eye, NOTE 60 Ultra carries a more subtle capability designed to accompany the user’s ambition, as far as and wherever the road leads. NOTE 60 Ultra is the first¹ to introduce dual-way satellite calling with expansive global coverage across a far greater number of countries¹. Powered by two-way messaging and calling beyond traditional terrestrial networks, NOTE 60 Ultra offers an added peace of mind whether navigating remote terrain beyond cellular coverage or facing large-scale network disruptions. The device bridges regional connectivity gaps to maintain communication and enables emergency location sharing when it matters most.

    Ultra-Fast, Enduring Functionalities for an All-Around Flagship Experience

    NOTE 60 Ultra combines category-leading performance and enduring power to support multi-sensory entertainment without interruption. Complementing this, its latest user experience delivers forward-looking innovations and AI-driven optimizations, making it more accessible and seamless for everyday use.

    Impressively, Infinix debuted the Proprietary Battery Self-Healing Technology. Despite featuring a massive 7000mAh silicon-carbon battery within a slim, lightweight frame, NOTE 60 Ultra is engineered to restore up to 1%² of battery health every 200 charge cycles. Complementing this breakthrough, NOTE 60 Ultra supports wired 100W All-Around Fast Charge and 50W wireless charging, achieving a full charge from 1% to 100%² in only 48 minutes through a wired connection.

    Even with a massive battery, Infinix pulls out all the stops to optimize for both speed and energy management. Featuring a 4nm all-big-core MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate chipset together with Infinix’s self-developed performance engine, NOTE 60 Ultra achieves up to 25%² faster multitasking, accelerated app responsiveness, and sustained smoothness.

    NOTE 60 Ultra excels in its class with a captivating, 1.5K Ultra HDR cinematic display. Delivering fluid 144Hz responsiveness and exceptional 4500-nit peak brightness, visuals remain vibrant across most lighting conditions. Even in motion, intelligent predictive stabilization minimizes motion sickness, whether watching a film or playing games from within a car. And just as a high-performance vehicle demands calibrated acoustics, NOTE 60 Ultra doesn’t settle for less. It delivers high-fidelity audio through a stereo system with SOUND BY JBL, completing a truly compelling entertainment experience.

    The NOTE 60 Ultra’s optimized performance enables its intelligent AI features to run fluidly and efficiently with minimal battery drain. Its integrated AI ecosystem focuses on practical daily-enhancing functions, including real-time vitals tracking via Advanced Health Monitor, personalized file organization and an adaptive AI-powered knowledge base, all evolving with user preferences. These AI capabilities are seamlessly woven into GlowSpace, a new interface debuting on XOS 16.³ Powered by Android 16, GlowSpace introduces a fully reimagined UI centered on fluid motion and luminous details that animate with every interaction.

    Through co-engineering with leading technology and innovation partners, Infinix has aligned NOTE 60 Ultra around a unified vision of excellence. The outcome is a benchmark-setting flagship defined not by spectacle, but by deeply integrated and purposeful engineering, inside-out.

    Product availability

    NOTE 60 Ultra comes with a promise of 3 years of major OS updates and 5 years of security patches.

    NOTE 60 Ultra is available in four colors: Torino Black, Monza Red, Amalfi Blue, and Roma Silver.

    It will be available in two variants: 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, with built-in eSIM⁴.
