JAKARTA, INDONESIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 Juni 2026 – Washington Apple Commission (WAC), organisasi pemasaran yang mewakili industri apel Washington, Amerika Serikat, menegaskan komitmennya untuk terus menghadirkan apel berkualitas premium bagi konsumen Indonesia. Hadir di Indonesia sejak 1990, Washington Apples terus melihat peluang pertumbuhan yang menjanjikan seiring meningkatnya kesadaran masyarakat terhadap pola hidup sehat dan konsumsi buah berkualitas.

Memasuki musim terbarunya, WAC akan menghadirkan berbagai program promosi dan edukasi guna semakin memperkuat hubungan dengan konsumen Indonesia.

Jennie Strong, International Marketing Specialist dari Washington Apple Commission mengatakan, “Indonesia telah menjadi pasar penting bagi Washington Apples selama lebih dari 35 tahun. Selama periode tersebut, kami bekerja sama dengan importir, peritel, dan berbagai mitra lokal untuk membangun kesadaran serta memperluas jangkauan Washington Apples di Indonesia. Kami melihat potensi pertumbuhan yang tetap positif, didukung oleh berkembangnya kelas menengah, generasi muda, serta infrastruktur ritel yang semakin modern. Karena itu, kami akan terus memperkuat program promosi dan edukasi untuk semakin mendekatkan Washington Apples dengan konsumen Indonesia.”

Washington Apples juga akan terus menghadirkan beragam varietas premium yang selama ini menjadi favorit konsumen Indonesia, seperti Red Delicious, Granny Smith, Envy®, Ambrosia, dan Gala. Masing-masing varietas menawarkan karakter rasa yang berbeda untuk memenuhi preferensi konsumen yang semakin beragam.

Konsumen Makin Selektif Memilih Camilan Sehat

Selama beberapa tahun terakhir, kesadaran masyarakat terhadap pola hidup sehat terus meningkat. Salah satu tren yang turut berkembang adalah meningkatnya minat masyarakat terhadap camilan yang lebih bernutrisi dan praktis untuk dikonsumsi sehari-hari. Dalam konteks ini, buah segar seperti apel menjadi pilihan yang semakin relevan.

Selain praktis, apel nyatanya mengandung berbagai nutrisi yang dibutuhkan tubuh. Satu apel besar mengandung serat, vitamin C, dan potasium yang dapat mendukung aktivitas harian. Bahkan, para peneliti dari Universitas Denmark telah menemukan bahwa apel dapat meningkatkan kesehatan usus serta meningkatkan sistem kekebalan tubuh dengan meningkatkan jumlah bakteri usus yang baik. Menariknya lagi, sebagian besar antioksidan pada apel terdapat pada bagian kulitnya.

Melihat perkembangan tersebut, Jennie menilai Indonesia merupakan pasar yang memiliki potensi besar bagi Washington Apples.

“Konsumen kini semakin memahami pentingnya mengonsumsi buah setiap hari dan semakin selektif dalam memilih produk berkualitas. Kami juga melihat tren mindful snacking mulai berkembang, di mana masyarakat mencari pilihan camilan yang tidak hanya praktis, tetapi juga memberikan manfaat nutrisi. Kami berharap dapat terus menjadi bagian dari perjalanan tersebut melalui produk terbaik dan berbagai program yang relevan dengan kebutuhan konsumen Indonesia,” tambahnya.

Untuk menjaga kualitas produk, Washington Apples menerapkan proses pengendalian mutu yang ketat mulai dari pemetikan, pencucian, penyortiran, hingga penyimpanan. Buah diseleksi menggunakan teknologi modern berdasarkan warna, ukuran, dan tingkat kematangan guna memastikan kualitas yang konsisten saat tiba di tangan konsumen.

Selain itu, setiap apel juga melalui pengujian kadar gula dan pati untuk membantu memastikan rasa manis dan tekstur renyah yang menjadi ciri khas Washington Apples. Komitmen ini sejalan dengan filosofi Grown with Goodness, yang mencerminkan perhatian terhadap kualitas di setiap tahap perjalanan buah, dari kebun hingga meja makan konsumen.

JAKARTA, INDONESIA- Media OutReach Newswire – 26 June 2026 – The Washington Apple Commission (WAC), the marketing organization representing Washington State’s apple industry in the United States, reaffirms its commitment to delivering premium-quality apples to Indonesian consumers. Having been present in Indonesia since 1990, Washington Apples continues to see promising growth opportunities as consumers become increasingly conscious of healthy lifestyles and quality fruit consumption.

As it enters a new season, WAC will introduce a range of promotional and educational initiatives aimed at further strengthening its connection with Indonesian consumers.

Jennie Strong, International Marketing Specialist of the Washington Apple Commission, said: “Indonesia has been an important market for Washington Apples for more than 35 years. Throughout this period, we have worked closely with importers, retailers, and local partners to build awareness and expand the presence of Washington Apples across the country. We continue to see positive growth potential, supported by a growing middle class, younger consumers, and an increasingly modern retail landscape. As a result, we will continue to strengthen our promotional and educational efforts to bring Washington Apples even closer to Indonesian consumers.”

Washington Apples will continue to offer a wide selection of premium varieties that have long been favorites among Indonesian consumers, including Red Delicious, Granny Smith, Envy®, Ambrosia, and Gala. Each variety offers its own distinct flavor profile, catering to increasingly diverse consumer preferences.

Consumers Are Becoming More Selective About Healthy Snacking

Over the past several years, awareness of healthy living has continued to grow. One trend that has gained momentum is the increasing demand for snacks that are both nutritious and convenient for everyday consumption. In this context, fresh fruit such as apples has become an increasingly relevant choice.

In addition to being convenient, apples contain a variety of nutrients that support overall well-being. A large apple provides fiber, vitamin C, and potassium that can help support daily activities. Researchers from the University of Denmark have also found that apples may contribute to improved gut health and support the immune system by increasing beneficial gut bacteria. Interestingly, most of an apple’s antioxidants are found in its skin.

Given these developments, Jennie believes Indonesia remains a market with significant growth potential for Washington Apples.

“Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of eating fruit every day and are more selective when choosing quality products. We are also seeing the rise of mindful snacking, where people seek snack options that are not only convenient but also offer nutritional benefits. We hope to continue being part of this journey through quality products and programs that are relevant to the needs of Indonesian consumers,” he/she added.

To maintain product quality, Washington Apples follows strict quality-control processes from harvesting and washing to sorting and storage. Apples are selected using modern technology based on color, size, and maturity to help ensure consistent quality when they reach consumers.

In addition, each apple undergoes sugar and starch testing to help maintain the sweetness and crisp texture that Washington Apples is known for. This commitment reflects the Grown with Goodness philosophy, which represents attention to quality at every stage of the fruit’s journey—from orchard to table.

At MWC IoT Summit 2026, Kigen made the case that the EU Cyber Resilience Act is not a compliance burden — it is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. For manufacturers who move now, the competitive advantage is structural.

SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 June 2026 – 5.5 trillion dollars. That is the annual cost of cybercrime to the global economy — a figure larger than the GDP of every nation except the United States and China. Behind it lies a single, solvable problem: billions of connected devices shipped without robust security baked in.

At MWC IoT Summit 2026 in Shanghai, Jean-Louis Carrara, SVP Global Sales at Kigen, delivered a keynote that reframed this challenge as an inflection point. The message was clear: the era of voluntary security is over, and the manufacturers who recognise this first will define the competitive landscape for the decade ahead.

The Regulation That Changes Everything

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is the most significant cybersecurity legislation ever enacted. It covers more than 90% of all IoT products containing digital elements — sensors, gateways, industrial equipment, consumer devices. If it connects, it is covered.

Manufacturers must now provide security updates across a five-year product lifecycle, report confirmed security incidents within 72 hours, and demonstrate security by design from the earliest stages of product development. Non-compliance carries penalties of up to €15 million, or 2.5% of global annual turnover.

Documentation requirements and vulnerability management obligations are already in force from September 2026. For any product in development today — any product planned for market entry in 2027 — compliance is not a future consideration. It is a present one.

Market Access as Competitive Advantage

Independent analysis puts the average cost of CRA compliance at approximately €100,000 per product line. Against a potential penalty exposure of €15 million, the arithmetic is straightforward. But Carrara pressed further: as the compliance threshold rises, EU market access becomes selectively available — a structural advantage for those who are ready.

This is the reframe that matters. Security is not a constraint on speed to market. It is the enabler of access to the world’s most demanding — and most rewarding — markets.

Proof at Scale — and Under Pressure

Kigen’s eSIM technology operates across more than 250 terrestrial and satellite networks worldwide. Hundreds of millions of devices. Decades of real-world hardening. But scale, Carrara argued, is not the same as trust.

Trust is demonstrated when the stakes are highest. When significant vulnerabilities were identified in eSIM frameworks used across the industry, Kigen responded within 72 hours — developing and sharing a patch openly, without paywalls, in full coordination with the GSMA and in alignment with ENISA disclosure guidelines.

“We did not wait for regulation to demand it,” Carrara said. “We acted because it was right — and because the industry’s security is only as strong as its weakest point. Our actions supported the coordinated response to develop countermeasures and mitigate the risks and we continue to collaborate on furthering these by contributing back through GSMA and other standards bodies. With certified eSIMs now carrying capabilities to patch, the tools are available for the mandates OEMs must meet on cybersecurity – readily, with our expertise.”

The Platform Already Built

Kigen’s platform delivers autonomous over-the-air security updates — deployable across an entire installed fleet without physical intervention. Native IoT profile management enables secure provisioning at manufacturing scale. Proven interoperability across the global operator ecosystem ensures devices function wherever customers need them.

Kigen also chairs the GSMA eSIM Working Group, actively advancing standards that raise the security floor for the entire industry — not to hold competitive advantage, but to make the ecosystem stronger for everyone.

The Convergence Moment

AI is transforming manufacturing. Advanced connectivity is extending that transformation to every point on the globe. And regulatory-grade security is the condition that makes all of it trustworthy. These forces are converging — and the window for first-mover advantage is open.

The imperative to build every capability in-house belongs to a previous era. The manufacturers who will define this decade are those who identify where deep, specialised expertise already exists — and accelerate their path to market by partnering with it.

The regulatory framework is clear. The technical capability is proven. Trust, at scale, is a durable advantage.

在 2026 年 MWC 物联网峰会上，Kigen 传递了一个清晰的信息：欧盟 《网络弹性法案》（CRA）不是合规负担，而是千载难逢的市场机遇。现在立即行动的制造商，将占据结构性的竞争优势。

上海，中国 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年6月26日 – 正在上海举办的 2026 年 MWC 物联网峰会上，Kigen 全球销售高级副总裁 Jean-Louis Carrara 受邀作为演讲嘉宾进行主旨演讲。他表示，随着欧盟及全球各地陆续推出网络安全的相关法案或行政令来强制约束电子产品的网络安全，产品厂商自愿实现安全的时代已结束，面对新出的各种合规挑战，率先行动的制造商将占据未来十年的竞争高地。Kigen通过获得GSMA安全认证的eSIM技术方案和远程管理体系，已经为网联产品制造商应对新的合规要求做好了准备！

全球网络犯罪每年造成的主要经济损失高达 5.5 万亿美元，这一数字超过了除美国和中国以外所有国家的 GDP。而这巨额损失背后所折射出的问题却是单一但可解决的，数十亿台联网设备出厂前未装备强大的充分安全防护。对此，各地陆续推出针对电子产品的网络安全方案，距离我们最近的就是欧盟《网络弹性法案》，3个月后部分强制要求即将生效。

【改变规则的法规】

欧盟 《网络弹性法案》（CRA）是有史以来最具影响力的网络安全立法。它涵盖超过 90% 的含有数字元素的物联网产品——传感器、网关、工业设备、消费类电子设备——只要能联网，就在其管辖范围之内。

制造商必须在五年产品生命周期内提供持续安全更新，在 72 小时内报告已确认的安全事件，并必须从设计之初就将安全嵌入产品架构。不合规将面临最高 1500 万欧元罚款，或全球年营业额的 2.5%（以较高者为准）。

自 2026 年 9 月起，文档要求和漏洞管理义务将正式生效。对于目前处于研发阶段或计划于 2027 年进入市场的任何产品——合规已是当前义务，而非未来考量。

【将市场准入转化为竞争优势】

独立分析显示，每条产品线用于遵守欧盟《网络弹性法案》（CRA）的平均成本约 10 万欧元。相比 1500 万欧元的潜在罚款风险，投资逻辑清晰明了。但 Carrara 进一步指出：随着合规门槛不断提高，欧盟市场的准入将变得具有选择性——这为那些已做好准备的企业带来了结构性优势 。

这是一个重大转变：安全不再是上市速度的制约因素，而是进入全球要求最严格、回报最丰厚市场的入場券。

【压力之下的规模化验证】

Kigen 的 eSIM 技术已运行于全球 250 多个地面和卫星网络，覆盖数亿台设备，历经数十年的真实环境考验。但Carrara指出， 规模本身并不等于信任。真正的信任来自压力最大时刻的表现。

当行业内广泛使用的 eSIM 框架存在安全漏洞时，Kigen 在 72 小时内做出了响应——开发并公开发布了补丁——无需付费，无需等待，并同时与 GSMA 全面协调，严格遵循 ENISA 信息泄露指南。

“我们没有等到法规强制要求才行动，” Carrara表示，”我们采取行动是因为这是正确的事——也是因为整个行业的安全取决于最薄弱的环节。我们的行动带动了行业协同响应，共同制定应对措施并降低风险。我们将继续通过GSMA及其他标准组织回馈行业，推动进一步的发展。如今，经过认证的eSIM已具备修补能力，OEM厂商可以随时借助我们的专业知识，获得满足网络安全强制措施所需的工具。”

【平台已就绪】

Kigen 平台支持自动空中安全更新，无需物理干预即可部署至整个已安装设备群 。原生物联网配置文件管理能力支持在制造规模上实现安全预配置。经过验证的全球运营商生态系统互操作性确保设备在客户所需之处均可正常运行。

Kigen 还担任 GSMA eSIM 工作组主席，积极推动提升整个行业安全基准线的标准 ——目标不是为了保持竞争优势，而是为了让所有参与者的生态系统都更加强大。

【AI时代汇聚时刻】

人工智能正在重塑制造业。先进连接技术正将这一变革延伸至全球每一个角落。而可验证、已认证的安全性，则是使这一切可信的前提条件。这些力量正在汇聚，先发优势的窗口已经打开。 。

将所有能力都交给内部自建的时代已经过去。而定义这个十年的制造商，是那些能够识别出深厚且专业的专长已在何处、并能够通过与之合作加速市场化进程的企业。

监管框架已然明确。技术能力已经验证。可规模化的信任是持久的竞争优势。

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 June 2026 – With top teams from around the world gearing up for the hotly contested Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races this weekend (June 27-28), participants and spectators can expect a bumper programme of action, fun and entertainment along the Victoria Harbour waterfront in Tsim Sha Tsui – one of the city’s most vibrant districts known for its iconic skyline views and tourist attractions.

There is much to celebrate. This year marks the 50^th anniversary of the Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races as well as 35^th anniversary of both the co-organiser, Hong Kong China Dragon Boat Association, and the sanctioning body, International Dragon Boat Federation (IDBF). The IDBF added to the occasion by announcing earlier this year the relocation of its headquarters back to Hong Kong.

Riding on the wave of excitement, the organiser, Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), extended the annual Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Festival period to 13 days (June 19 – July 1), beginning on the historic Tuen Ng Festival (Dragon Boat Festival) and concluding on July 1, which is the 29^th anniversary of the Establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).

As the headline international flagship event of “Hong Kong Summer Fun”, Dr Peter Lam, Chairman of the HKTB, said the Festival not only ran over a longer period, but also featured a stronger race line-up and more vibrant entertainment programmes than in previous years, offering an experience found only in Hong Kong for locals and visitors, while showcasing Hong Kong’s position as the Events Capital of Asia.

More than 220 teams from 16 countries and regions will compete for top honours in the world‑renowned setting of Victoria Harbour. This year’s event also introduces the special 50^th Anniversary Fishermen Invitational Cup and the 50^th Anniversary Championship, paying tribute to the traditional spirit of dragon boat racing.

Visitors will be able to enjoy a series of thematic activities along the Avenue of Stars, including a 22-metre traditional wooden dragon boat, a dragon boat-themed installation in collaboration with the new film Minions & Monsters, live music performances and a line-up of intangible cultural heritage performances, including martial art Wing Chun, Chinese juggling diabolo, traditional musical instruments ruan and guzheng.

Highlighting Hong Kong’s reputation as the birthplace of modern international dragon boat racing, as well as its strengths as a global hub city, the IDBF has taken a significant step in its long‑term global strategy with the formal incorporation of International Dragon Boat Federation Limited in Hong Kong on 29 April 2026.

“Incorporation in Hong Kong is not a conclusion, but a beginning. It anchors our Federation in the city where our international story started and strengthens our ability to serve our members and the global dragon boat family,” said Claudio Schermi, President of the IDBF.

As part of this new chapter, the IDBF has applied for funding under “the Pilot Scheme to Strengthen the Presence of Hong Kong in Asian and International Sports Associations”, which was recently introduced by the HKSAR Government’s Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau. The Pilot Scheme is an initiative designed to support Asian and international sports associations establishing their headquarters or regional headquarters in the city.

The Dragon Boat Festival has a long and colourful history dating back more than two thousand years. Held each year on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the day commemorates the patriotic poet Qu Yuan.

According to legend, Qu committed suicide for his beliefs by throwing himself into the Luo River. The villagers nearby raced out on their dragon boats, banging gongs and drums to scare away fish and other underwater creatures to stop them from eating Qu’s body. The tradition continues to this day, with dragon boat competitions taking place at locations across Hong Kong, each reflecting the unique characteristics of its neighbourhood.

Traditional dragon boat treats feature prominently during the festival, notably zongzi. These glutinous rice dumplings, traditionally wrapped in bamboo leaves and steamed or boiled, are widely available during the festive period.
