    Singapore Team Crowned Champion at the Inaugural Asian Hackathon for Green Future 2026 in Vietnam

    HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 July 2026 – Outperforming 439 teams and nearly 1,500 participants from 22 countries and territories, Team Helios, comprising two participants, Pratham Ranjan and Alok Vernekar from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, has been crowned champion of the Asian Hackathon for Green Future 2026, a competition dedicated to developing technology-driven solutions for a sustainable future.

    The competition was jointly organized by three not-for-profit entities under Vingroup: the “For Green Future” Foundation, VinUniversity, and the Vingroup Young Technology Talent Club (VinTechTalent). It is the first pan-Asian environmental hackathon exclusively for undergraduate and master’s students to be held in Vietnam. The Final Round and Awards Ceremony took place on July 4 at VinUniversity, Hanoi.

    With the project titled “An Urban Simulation Platform for Low-Carbon Infrastructure,” Team Helios won the First Prize, worth USD 8,000. The team’s solution addresses a critical challenge facing many cities today: how to determine whether a green infrastructure project will truly be effective before committing significant resources to its implementation.

    The team developed a district-level urban simulation platform that enables users to test options such as EV charging stations, public transportation, solar energy, and climate-resilient infrastructure, while assessing their expected impacts on travel behavior, emissions, costs, and the power grid. The solution helps city authorities identify projects worth investing in, avoid wasting resources on ineffective initiatives, and accelerate the transition to low-carbon cities.

    The Second Prize, worth USD 5,000, was awarded to Team VFluxion, comprising four participants, Nguyen The Anh, Vu The Vinh, Tran Hung Vi, and Do Thi Nhu Y, from the University of Information Technology, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

    VFluxion’s solution addresses an increasingly important need in the transition to green mobility: how to effectively connect and coordinate electric vehicles with urban energy systems.

    The team proposed a platform that coordinates bidirectional charging and discharging, enabling electric vehicles not only to consume energy but also to serve as distributed energy storage resources that can help balance electricity demand when needed. The solution aims to optimize energy use, enhance power grid stability, reduce the need to deploy high-emission backup power sources, and protect battery longevity.

    Two Third Prizes, each worth USD 3,000, were awarded to two teams from Vietnam: Future Greener and ALT F4.

    Team Future Greener, comprising Nguyen Nguyen Tam Nhu, Truong Dong Hung, Pham Ho Kim Ngan, and Bui Hoai Ngoc from UEH.ISB Honours College, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, and FPT University’s Ho Chi Minh City campus, developed a project addressing the challenge of managing the life cycle of electric vehicle batteries amid the rapid growth of electric mobility, which brings with it the risk of used batteries being stored, discarded, or handled unsafely.

    The platform tracks battery information throughout its life cycle, supports battery health assessment, and helps determine whether a battery should be repurposed or sent for recycling. The solution aims to reduce environmental risks from discarded batteries, increase transparency in the used EV market, and promote a circular economy in the battery industry.

    Team ALT F4, comprising Nguyen Tuan Minh, Nguyen Thanh Vinh, and Tran Phi Anh Nhat from the University of Science, Vietnam National University Hanoi, British University Vietnam (BUV), and Hanoi University of Science and Technology, won a Third Prize for its early warning system for saltwater intrusion.

    The system monitors water conditions in estuarine areas, forecasts the risk of saltwater intrusion 24 to 72 hours in advance, and sends alerts in Vietnamese directly to the phones of farmers and local officials. This early warning window can enable timely action to close sluice gates, preserve freshwater supplies, and adjust irrigation practices, thereby reducing crop losses, protecting farmers’ livelihoods, and strengthening resilience to climate change.

    The Organizing Committee also awarded five Consolation Prizes, each worth USD 1,000, to Project Gaia from Vietnam, AVERTIX from India, ReRootSG from Singapore, Forust from Hong Kong, China, and Seekers from India.

    To reach the Final Round, the 30 finalist teams underwent a selection and training journey lasting nearly three months. From 439 teams that entered the Preliminary Round with project proposals and introductory videos, the Top 30 teams advanced to a month-long online training program with multidisciplinary experts to sharpen their problem-solving approaches and prepare for the final challenge.

    At VinUniversity, the finalist teams took part in an intensive 36-hour hackathon, during which they analyzed real-world challenges, developed solutions, built functional prototypes, and refined their final presentations under the guidance of expert mentors from Vingroup’s technology companies.

    Reflecting on the competition’s outcome, Dr. Thai-Ha Le, Managing Director of the “For Green Future” Foundation, Vingroup, said: “What makes us proud is that the Asian Hackathon for Green Future 2026 has shown that Vietnam can truly become a regional hub for Asia’s young talent in the journey of innovation for sustainable development. Here, cross-border ideas are not only shared, but also tested, refined, and transformed into practical solutions capable of creating lasting value for communities.”

    From energy and transportation to climate, water resources, and agriculture, the environmental challenges facing Asia increasingly transcend national borders and demand regional collaboration. By bringing together young talent from diverse countries and disciplines, the Asian Hackathon for Green Future aims to foster a regional space for collaboration, where knowledge, technology, and diverse perspectives can converge, complement one another, and develop into solutions with the potential to create real-world impact.

    Following the success of its inaugural edition, the competition will return for a second season in 2027 with an expanded scale and geographical reach, aiming to attract more young talent from across Asia and other regions of the world to jointly develop solutions for a green and sustainable future.

    施华洛世奇水晶打造的Toblerone水晶三角棒在施华洛世奇水晶世界的”水晶穹顶”正式亮相

    施华洛世奇水晶打造的Toblerone水晶三角棒:背后的故事

    Toblerone于1908年诞生于瑞士,其产品标志性的三角轮廓是全球辨识度最高的品牌造型之一。长久以来,数代旅行者都已习惯将Toblerone巧克力作为伴手礼带回家:一份小巧却令人沉醉的甜蜜、品质始终如一的瑞士专属心意。

    为了生动呈现Toblerone水晶三角棒,Toblerone特邀施华洛世奇打造这款臻品。 施华洛世奇以无与伦比的品质、工艺与创意打造多元产品矩阵。该品牌1895年创立于奥地利,设计、生产并销售高品质的水晶、人造宝石及珠宝等成品。

    两大品牌的共通之处不止于阿尔卑斯山的地域渊源,更秉持同一理念:品质绝非细节,而是根本所在。值得打造的事物,就值得倾心制作。世界上许多经久流传的经典之作往往兼具美感,同时又始终保持本真的纯粹。

    最终呈现的成果,便是施华洛世奇水晶打造的Toblerone水晶三角棒:它保留了Toblerone极具辨识度的标志性三角造型,将原本浓郁醇厚的巧克力内核,依托施华洛世奇的水晶工艺重新塑造成一件高端典藏艺术品。

    Toblerone全球旅游零售部总裁Iain Livingston表示:”Toblerone从来都不只是巧克力。它更彰显着一种仪式感,是旅行的象征,也是全世界认知度最高的礼品之一。施华洛世奇水晶打造的Toblerone水晶三角棒完全是我们品牌特质的自然流露:坚守品质,却从不故作高深。这款’终极臻礼’正是这种特质的完美结晶,它将筹集善款支持优质公益项目,助力让世界变得更美好。”

    水晶背后的工艺

    每一支施华洛世奇水晶打造的Toblerone水晶三角棒,都得益于该品牌深厚的精湛工艺和专属设计研发:

    • 以经典Toblerone三角巧克力棒为原型,于奥地利制作
    • 单支重851克,长305毫米
    • 每支表面拥有546个独立切割切面
    • 历时140小时研发,65小时100%纯手工制作
    • 采用高精度切割技术,拥有无可比拟的璀璨光泽


    终极礼盒:面向全球发售

    对于希望即刻将这份心意带回家的消费者,Toblerone还同步推出了一款点缀施华洛世奇水晶的限量版”终极礼盒”,活动期间仅在全球各大机场的旅游零售渠道独家发售。

    礼盒内含:一支经典的Toblerone牛奶三角巧克力棒。

    外层点缀璀璨水晶,内里依旧是标志性的浓郁风味。这也一如既往地回应了每位旅客在机场都会问自己的那个问题:”我的Toblerone巧克力在哪儿

    关于TOBLERONE

    1908年,创始人西奥多·托布勒(Theodor Tobler)和埃米尔·鲍曼(Emil Baumann)发明了一款独特的巧克力:Toblerone。”Toblerone”是”Tobler”和”Torrone”组合而成的混成词,后者在意大利语中代表蜂蜜杏仁牛轧糖。自诞生起,它标志性的三角造型便在全球拥有极高的辨识度。如今,该品牌的生产基地仍设于伯尔尼布伦嫩,当地员工满怀热忱投入日常生产,日产能可达400万件——全球在售的Toblerone巧克力约有90%产自伯尔尼的这座工厂。

    Toblerone从不循规蹈矩:造型如此,精神内核如此,品牌追求亦是如此。”Never Square“是一种理念,笃信生活中最美好的事物从不盲从刻板规则,而最有心意的礼物也往往不落俗套。

    关于施华洛世奇

    自1895年起便以”光影大师”为定位。

    施华洛世奇以无可挑剔的品质与工艺打造精美产品,传递悦己奢享与自我表达的品牌理念。

    施华洛世奇由丹尼尔·施华洛世奇(Daniel Swarovski)于1895年在奥地利创立,主营全球顶级水晶、施华洛世奇人造钻石、水晶珍珠、锆石,以及珠宝、配饰、家居装饰产品,同时也为汽车行业提供水晶配件。

    施华洛世奇的水晶业务覆盖全球140余个国家/地区,拥有2,200家精品门店,并辅以精选多品牌合作网络,在全球约有18,300名员工。它与姊妹公司施华洛世奇光学(Swarovski Optik)、蒂罗利特(Tyrolit)共同组成施华洛世奇集团。依托深厚的品牌积淀,施华洛世奇始终致力于为大众、社会与地球带来积极影响。如今,多项可持续发展措施已贯穿于整个价值链,同时聚焦循环创新,倡导多元包容并鼓励自我表达。旗下施华洛世奇基金会(Swarovski Foundation)也开展公益项目,鼎力支持带来正向环境与社会影响的慈善机构。

    Hong Kong Icon Anson Lo Celebrates July Birthday, Propelling Cantopop Toward New Frontiers

    Marking a historic milestone, the MAMA-winning icon celebrates a year of regional breakthroughs and a defining leap into the global spotlight.

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 July 2026 – This July, celebrating his birthday month, Anson Lo marks a decisive leap into the global spotlight. Defined by his philosophy of “Adventure and Limitless,” the MAMA award-winning artist over the past weekend brought his solo concert tour to Macau, delivering a highly acclaimed, two-night engagement that drew an overwhelming response. This milestone is further amplified by the highly anticipated release of his new English single “Helicopter” and his high-profile appearance in the English drama The Season. Known for his razor-sharp choreography, Lo has transcended his status as Hong Kong’s premier idol to become a defining figure of a new, international generation.

    A New Frontier: Crafting English Hits and Lyrics

    Lo’s global evolution shines through his self-penned English rap lyrics across nearly all his dance singles. Expanding his creative control, he wrote his two full English tracks, “Trippin’ Up” and the newly released “Helicopter.” “Helicopter” just dropped to an overwhelming global response, solidifying his international musical footprint.

  • XPPen Strengthens Its Commitment to Animation with 2026 Annecy Festival Residency Partnership and MIFA Showcase

    ANNECY, FRANCE – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 July 2026 – XPPen, a global leading brand in digital art innovation, continues its support for the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in 2026 through its partnership with the Annecy Festival Residency, while showcasing its latest product lineup at MIFA 2026. Together, these initiatives reflect XPPen’s long-term commitment to empowering animation creators, from nurturing emerging talent to equipping professionals with tools for evolving production workflows.

    Supporting the Next Generation of Animation Storytellers

    Building on its support for emerging animation talent through the inaugural XPPen Award for Graduation Films at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in 2025, XPPen deepens its commitment to the animation community through the 2026 Annecy Festival Residency. The initiative provides selected animation feature film projects with studio space, tailor-made professional mentorship and opportunities to engage with the global animation community.

    This year’s residency selected three animation projects from 52 submissions across 29 countries: All the Heaven’s Doors, Condenaditos, and Todo viene del agua. These projects boldly reflect on social issues, refuse fatalism, and revisit fragments of life and history with exceptional artistic courage and creative vision. As the residency’s official partner, XPPen provides its flagship Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) drawing displays to support artists throughout the creative development process, from concept sketching and storyboarding to visual refinement.

    “We contribute more than hardware, but also our deep respect for artistic souls who refuse to follow the crowd—those committed to using animation to probe the depths of human nature,” said Brian Huang, Marketing Director at XPPen. “We admire creators who challenge the world through storytelling, and we’re honored to walk alongside such creative spirits with tools they can trust throughout their journey.”

    Featuring professional-grade color performance, a 27-inch 4K 120Hz display, and X-Touch technology, the Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) enables artists to remain fully immersed in art creation. By seamlessly supporting technical demands, the tool fades into the background and becomes an extension of the creator, freeing artists to focus on what matters most: telling compelling stories.

    Showcasing Professional Innovation at MIFA 2026

    At MIFA 2026, the world’s leading animation industry marketplace held alongside the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, XPPen presented its latest creative product lineup, demonstrating how its expanding ecosystem supports creators at every stage of their creative journey.

    The lineup spans entry-level standalone tablets for aspiring artists, the Magic Drawing Pad for everyday digital creation, the Artist 16 3rd portable pen display for professional creators, the flagship Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) for high-end creative production, and the newly launched Pilot Pro, a productivity-focused editing console designed to streamline editing workflows, marking XPPen’s first foray into the professional editing console category.

    Beyond product demonstrations, XPPen invited artists to share their creative process on site. Illustrator and animator Julie Roulet demonstrated how professional pen displays can support efficient animation workflows, while 2D/3D artist Benjamin Cerbai explored hybrid digital creation using the Magic Drawing Pad, giving visitors first-hand insight into how the device supports diverse creative scenarios.

    By continuing its presence at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and MIFA, XPPen reaffirms its long-term commitment to supporting creators through both technological innovation and meaningful engagement with the animation industry. Guided by its belief in empowering bold self-expression, XPPen is dedicated to developing tools that enable creators to turn ideas into reality. The company continues to build a creative ecosystem that supports artists at every stage of their journey, growing alongside them from their first ideas to professional creative production.
