  • MIL-OSI NGOs: AMCEN 20: Ministers must deliver bold action on plastics, climate justice and forest protection

    Source: Greenpeace Statement –

    Greenpeace Africa calls on African ministers to uphold commitments and resist industry pressure at crucial continental meeting.

    NAIROBI, KENYA — As the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN)  convenes in Nairobi, Greenpeace Africa calls on the continent’s environmental ministers to demonstrate bold leadership on critical environmental challenges facing the continent and the world.

    The 20th session of AMCEN marks a defining moment for Africa’s unified voice on environmental policy, bringing together ministers from all 54 African countries at a time when decisive action on plastic pollution, climate justice, and biodiversity loss is more urgent than ever.

    Greenpeace Africa urges ministers to prioritize three critical areas:

    1. Uphold Strong Plastics Treaty Commitment

    African ministers must reaffirm the visionary leadership demonstrated at AMCEN 19/2 Decision, which called for a legally binding Global Plastics Treaty addressing pollution across its entire lifecycle. With negotiations entering a critical phase at INC-5.2 in Geneva this August, any retreat from Africa’s strong position would undermine the continent’s unified voice and environmental goals.

    Hellen Dena, Project Lead, Pan African Plastic Project, said:

    “The plastic pollution crisis is disproportionately affecting African communities. From open burning and illegal waste dumping in low-income communities, to the health threats of microplastics and toxic chemicals, it is often the most vulnerable that bear the brunt of this crisis. AMCEN must resist industry pressure and maintain its call for plastics  production caps in the Global Plastics Treaty.”

    2. Make Polluters Pay

    New polling data reveals overwhelming public support for making oil and gas corporations pay for climate damage. A Greenpeace-Oxfam study shows 81% of respondents across 13 African countries support taxes on fossil fuel companies to fund climate recovery, including 85% in Kenya and 80% in South Africa.

    Sherelee Odayar, Oil and Gas Campaigner said:

    “AMCEN must champion reparations for climate damages and ensure that those who profited most from environmental destruction contribute to addressing the damage. This is not just environmental policy but a matter of justice for communities suffering the worst climate impacts.”

    3. Protect Forests Through Direct Community Finance and rights recognition

    As deforestation accelerates across the continent, AMCEN must commit to the implementation of deforestation action plans that center Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities with direct access to finance and recognition of their rights. 

    Dr Lamfu Yengong, Greenpeace Africa’s Lead Forest Campaigner, said:

    “African forests are being decimated while those who have protected them for generations are sidelined. AMCEN must ensure direct finance and recognition of the rights of the Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities who are the most effective guardians of our biodiversity.”

    AMCEN’s outcomes will directly shape Africa’s positions at major international forums, including INC 5.2, COP 30, and UNEA 7. Unity across the continent is essential to ensure that African priorities are not compromised in global negotiations.

    “Africa’s strength lies in its unity,” added Koaile Monaheng, Greenpeace Africa’s Pan African Political Strategist. “Our leaders must act with courage, not caution—with conviction, not compromise. The people of Africa are demanding action, and AMCEN must deliver.”

  • MIL-OSI Canada: Canada and the Northwest Territories Partner on Innovative, AI-Based Core Scanning Initiative to Support Critical Minerals Development

    Source: Government of Canada News (2)

    July 14, 2025                                          Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island                                   Natural Resources Canada

    The Government of Canada and the Government of the Northwest Territories are working together to advance a new geoscience research initiative that leverages artificial intelligence (AI), digital scanning technologies and historic drill cores to unlock the North’s mineral potential and help solidify Canada’s position as a global leader in resource development and critical minerals.

    As part of this initiative, Canada and the Northwest Territories will pilot a project to scan, digitize and analyze existing drill cores from the Northwest Territories Geological Survey’s collection using cutting-edge techniques to highlight new areas of high critical-mineral potential. These core scans and their associated data will be made available through a centralized digital platform, helping to reduce exploration risk, re-evaluate existing discoveries and enable new mineral development opportunities across the North.

    This program will be centred on drill cores from the Slave Geological Province in the Northwest Territories, one of Canada’s most promising regions for mineral exploration and critical mineral development. This vast, underexplored area is home to past-producing mines and significant greenfield potential, particularly for critical minerals such as lithium, copper, cobalt and rare earth elements. By applying AI-driven analysis to historical core samples, both governments aim to spur new investment by giving industry the tools it needs to unlock untapped mineral value — without further disturbing the land.

    This work will form the foundation for a future Canadian Digital Core Library and reflects both governments’ shared commitment to breaking down silos and building one Canadian economy. It also supports national priorities around clean growth, Indigenous partnership, Arctic sovereignty and securing the supply chains that power Canada’s transition to a net-zero future.

  • MIL-OSI USA: AI that delivers smarter glucose predictions without compromising privacy

    Source: US Government research organizations

    Managing diabetes is a daily challenge faced by nearly 40 million Americans. It involves tracking food intake, timing medication and engaging in physical activity. Getting it wrong can lead to serious health issues; therefore, developing better prediction tools is a vital part of effective diabetes care.

    To support better diabetes management, researchers funded by multiple U.S. National Science Foundation grants are developing innovative tools that help patients predict blood sugar levels more precisely without compromising the privacy of their health data. This cutting-edge approach could transform how people with diabetes monitor and manage their condition in real-time.

    At the core of this technology is a method called federated learning, which allows artificial intelligence models to be trained across many patients’ devices without sending any personal data to a central server. This setup is ideal for healthcare, where data privacy is paramount and patients often use battery- and memory-limited smart devices. But early federated learning systems struggled to adapt to individual differences, like how people eat, move or react to insulin.

    To address this challenge, the research team grouped patients based on their carbohydrate (e.g., sugar and starch) intake levels. The idea is that people who eat in similar ways tend to show similar glucose patterns. By training the AI on these grouped behaviors, the model became more effective at making personalized blood glucose predictions.

    To test their approach, the team evaluated two machine learning models using data generated from an FDA-approved Type 1 diabetes simulator. As simulated data accumulated, model accuracy improved. Notably, even with limited input, the system could build personalized models — a key advantage for newly diagnosed patients or those just beginning to use digital tools to manage their care.

    Because traditional AI systems typically require gathering large amounts of data in a central location, which can pose privacy risks, especially when dealing with sensitive health information, federated learning provides a good solution for the field. It keeps personal data on each individual’s device — like a phone or wearable sensor — and only shares the model’s learning, never the raw data. This protects patient privacy while still allowing the system to improve over time.

    While the early results are promising, the researchers note that the models still rely on detailed food intake data — something not all patients can easily provide. They plan to expand their system to include other factors like exercise and medication, and to test it with larger patient groups. In the long term, the researchers hope to extend this personalized, privacy-preserving AI approach to other chronic conditions like heart disease or asthma, where individualized care is equally important.

    With diabetes costing the U.S. economy over $300 billion yearly, innovations that enable earlier intervention and personalized care can drive down long-term costs and improve population health outcomes.  

    This project highlights how public investment in cutting-edge research drives innovation that benefits not just individual patients but the entire U.S. healthcare system.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitget Wallet Offers Additional Pump.fun Token Allocations After Sellout

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget Wallet, the leading non-custodial crypto wallet, has launched a trading incentive program tied to the recent launch of Pump.fun’s PUMP token. Before July 16, users who trade Pump.fun tokens through Bitget Wallet’s MemeScan tool can earn allocations of PUMP tokens, based on their trading activity.

    Pump.fun’s PUMP token was officially launched this week after raising $500 million in a public sale that sold out in under 15 minutes, giving the project a fully diluted valuation of $4 billion. The token is currently trading at approximately 40% above its initial sale price, with significant trading volumes seen across both centralized exchanges and onchain platforms.

    Under the program, users who complete a single trade of any Pump.fun token worth at least $20 through Bitget Wallet will receive an allocation of 500 bgPUMP points, redeemable for PUMP tokens after the program concludes. Additional rewards are available to users who reach higher daily trading volumes. Participants will also qualify for entry into Bitget Wallet’s upcoming draw event on July 18, where token prizes will be awarded, including a top prize worth $6,666 in PUMP.

    The program runs alongside Bitget Wallet’s launch of MemeScan, a mobile-first trading tool that integrates token discovery, real-time analytics, and execution within a single app interface. Designed for fast-moving memecoin markets, MemeScan provides AI-generated token summaries, live chart updates, and one-tap trading, allowing both experienced and newer traders to respond more quickly to market opportunities.

    “The recent memecoin cycle shows that crypto trading is increasingly defined by speed, access, and mobile usability,” said Jamie Elkaleh, CMO of Bitget Wallet. “Our focus is on building tools that help both new and advanced traders respond to fast-moving markets.”

    More information is available via Bitget Wallet’s official channels.

    Accessibility Statement

    • oeuk.org.uk
    • 14 July 2025

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email [email protected]

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
    • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
    • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
    • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
    • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over seven different coloring options.
    3. Animations – person with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to [email protected]

  • MIL-OSI: Music Licensing, Inc. and Pro Music Rights Featured in Bloomberg News and Los Angeles Times Amid Industry Spotlight on Licensing Fees

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NAPLES, FL, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Music Licensing, Inc. (OTC: SONG) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Pro Music Rights, were recently featured in Bloomberg News and the Los Angeles Times in connection with national coverage on the rising costs and growing complexity of music licensing for restaurants and bars. The coverage highlights Pro Music Rights as a leading innovator among performance rights organizations (PROs), positioned to modernize an industry long dominated by legacy structures.

    Industry Coverage Underscores Growing Demand for Reform

    The July 9, 2025 Bloomberg News article, “Restaurants, Bars Say They’re Getting Squeezed by Rising Music Licensing Costs,” and the July 11, 2025 Los Angeles Times article, “Restaurants, bars consider turning off music as licensing fees skyrocket,” detailed the operational challenges faced by small and mid-sized businesses as they navigate a fragmented licensing environment. In both features, Pro Music Rights was profiled as a scalable, technology-forward alternative that is reshaping performance rights licensing through transparency and accessibility.

    Redefining the Licensing Model with Transparency and Efficiency

    Established in 2018, Pro Music Rights has introduced a modernized, business-friendly licensing framework that aligns cost with clarity and usage:

    • Flat Monthly Rate: A consistent $50 per location simplifies budgeting and ensures affordability across business segments.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: WHO urges roll-out of first long-acting HIV prevention jab

    Source: United Nations 2

    Injectable lenacapavir – LEN, for short – is a highly effective, long-acting antiretroviral alternative to daily oral pills and other shorter-acting options, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

    “While an HIV vaccine remains elusive, lenacapavir is the next best thing: a long-acting antiretroviral shown in trials to prevent almost all HIV infections among those at risk,” said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General.

    Test kit advantage

    WHO’s support for the injectable drug is significant because HIV prevention efforts are stagnating around the world.

    To make it easier for people to receive the injection close to home, the UN agency also recommends the use of rapid testing kits for the disease, as opposed to “complex, costly procedures”.

    According to the agency, 1.3 million people contracted HIV in 2024; people most impacted were sex workers, men who have sex with men, transgender people, people who inject drugs, people in prisons, and children and teens.

    “WHO is committed to working with countries and partners to ensure this innovation reaches communities as quickly and safely as possible,” insisted Tedros, in comments during the 13th International AIDS Society Conference (IAS 2025) on HIV Science, in Kigali, Rwanda.

    The recommendation for LEN is also in line with the US health authorities which approved it in June.

    Call for implementation

    Although access to the LEN injection remains limited outside clinical trials today, WHO urged governments, donors and partners to incorporate LEN “immediately” within national combination HIV-prevention programmes.

    Other WHO-supported HIV-prevention options include daily oral tablets, injectable cabotegravir – which is injected once every two months – and the dapivirine vaginal ring, as part of a growing number of tools to end the HIV epidemic.

    Funding dilemma

    Amid massive funding cuts to the global effort to end HIV-AIDS – including the leading US Government programme launched in 2003, PEPFAR, focusing on combating the disease in Africa – WHO also issued new operational guidance on how to sustain priority HIV services.

    “We have the tools and the knowledge to end AIDS…what we need now is bold implementation of these recommendations, grounded in equity and powered by communities,” said Dr Meg Doherty, Director of WHO’s Department of Global HIV, Hepatitis and STI Programmes and incoming Director of Science, Research, Evidence and Quality for Health.

    HIV remains a major global public health issue.

    By the end of 2024, an estimated 40.8 million people were living with HIV with an estimated 65 per cent in Africa. Approximately 630,000 people died from HIV-related causes globally, and an estimated 1.3 million people acquired HIV, including 120,000 children.

    More positively, access to HIV drugs continues to expand, with 31.6 million people receiving treatment in 2024, up from 30.3 million a year earlier. Without anti-retroviral medication, the HIV virus attacks the body’s immune system, leading ultimately to the onset of AIDS.

  • MIL-OSI USA: AI in K-12 Education: Partners in Progress, Not Replacements

    Source: US State of Connecticut

    As artificial intelligence continues to transform industries worldwide, educators and researchers with the Neag School of Education are exploring how it might reshape teaching and learning. The Neag School’s annual Teaching and Learning with Technology Conference in May offered insights into AI’s promise and challenges in the classroom, including how AI can enhance creativity, personalize learning, and support teachers, while preserving the deeply human heart of education.

    Timothy “TJ” Neville ’04 MA, ’18 MA, an instructional technology specialist with Farmington Public Schools who has over two decades of experience in education and technology and presented at the conference, emphasized that education remains fundamentally human. While AI is powerful, he insists it should be viewed as a partner, not a replacement, for teachers.

    “Education has always been, and will remain, a deeply human endeavor,” Neville says. “AI offers an opportunity to elevate our practice — not to replace our expertise.”

    “While AI is powerful, it should be viewed as a partner, not a replacement, for teachers,” Timothy “TJ” Neville ’04 MA, ’18 MA says.

    He encourages educators to see AI as a collaborative tool that can generate resources, manage routine tasks, and give teachers time to focus on what humans do best: building relationships and fostering deeper learning.

    One of AI’s biggest strengths is helping teachers tailor learning to students’ diverse needs. For example, simple tools like student interest surveys combined with AI allow teachers to craft lessons that engage learners more personally. Neville’s district trains educators to use AI to create leveled readings, contextual vocabulary lists, and visual representations of complex texts.

    “AI can help teachers address students’ readiness levels, interests, and learning profiles,” Neville says. “Teachers can quickly generate differentiated resources that remove barriers and make learning more accessible to all.”

    Neville recalls a successful example from his district, where teachers used AI to support multilingual learners struggling with reading comprehension. By generating differentiated resources and visual aids, teachers could offer immediate, personalized help. This approach soon expanded to benefit all students, as well as led to further training for staff, showing how AI’s impact can ripple through an entire district..

    “Teachers could respond in the moment,” Neville says. “If a student struggled with a text, a teacher could create a visualization instantly, helping them understand.”

    Education has always been, and will remain, a deeply human endeavor. AI offers an opportunity to elevate our practice — not to replace our expertise. &#8212 Timothy ‘TJ’ Neville ’04 MA, ’18 MA

    Shuyu Wang, a Neag School of Education doctoral student who presented at the conference, agrees. Drawing on her experience with an educational technology company in China, Wang describes how AI-powered platforms let students interact through tablets while software tracks engagement data. This helps teachers analyze learning behaviors and tailor support in real time. She believes personalized learning is one of AI’s most promising contributions, helping teachers spot learning gaps and save time.

    “Teachers spend so much time creating materials for different students,” she says. “AI can automate parts of that, freeing teachers to connect emotionally and socially with students.”

    Despite its benefits, AI in education comes with significant challenges. Neville highlights the need for clear guidance on transparency, privacy, and equity: “It’s crucial that students know if AI is being used to provide feedback. Transparency is essential.”

    He warns against “cognitive offloading,” where students become too dependent on AI and fail to develop critical thinking skills. Wang shares similar concerns, particularly about how AI might increase pressure on students to chase perfection or its lack of emotional intelligence.

    “AI can’t read emotions like teachers can,” she says. “If a student is upset, a teacher can see that and respond with care.”

    Another challenge is bias. Both Neville and Wang stress that AI models are trained on human-created data — which means bias inevitably seeps in, regardless of which country the AI or its training data originated from. Wang believes educators and students must learn to think critically about AI outputs.

    “We should read classic literature, news from different countries, and diverse perspectives,” she says. “Only then can we judge whether AI’s answers are trustworthy.”

    AI’s ability to produce polished work quickly raises questions about traditional assessments. Neville believes educators should shift focus from final products to the learning process itself.

    Teachers spend so much time creating materials for different students. AI can automate parts of that, freeing teachers to connect emotionally and socially with students. &#8212 Shuyu Wang, Neag School doctoral student

    “We want assessments that capture how students think, problem-solve, and apply tools,” he says. “The goal is to help students become more self-aware and reflective.”

    Wang echoes this sentiment. She believes AI can improve the efficiency of assessments but worries that it often overlooks the emotional effort students pour into their work.

    “It’s unfair if we only look at outputs,” she says. “AI can’t measure the feelings and creativity people invest in what they create.”

    Beyond helping students, Neville sees AI reshaping professional development for teachers. Tools like Edthena let teachers upload lesson videos for AI-driven analysis and feedback. Other platforms, like Swivl’s Mirror Talk, provide live feedback during instruction.

    “AI can make professional development more personalized and practical,” Neville says. “It can tailor support to each educator’s needs.”

    He envisions AI simulations where teachers get feedback from AI personas acting as students or supervisors, helping them practice real-world teaching scenarios. Wang believes the same strategies used to personalize student learning can enhance teacher training.

    “In our training programs, the learning needs are the same,” she says. “AI can help teachers build portfolios, gather feedback, and get support tailored to them.”

    Del Siegle, the Neag School’s Lynn and Ray Neag Chair for Gifted Education and Talent Development and organizer of the Teaching and Learning with Technology Conference, has explored how AI can help overcome creative roadblocks. For many, the biggest challenge in creative work is the fear of the blank page. Siegle believes AI offers a way past that paralysis.

    “AI isn’t here to replace our imaginations but to partner with them,” Siegle wrote in Gifted Child Today.

    AI isn’t here to replace our imaginations but to partner with them. &#8212 Del Siegle

    Creativity, he notes, is vital for problem-solving and well-being. Students who engage creatively understand their learning more deeply and gain confidence. While AI can generate poems, images, and ideas, Siegle argues it’s not truly creative in the human sense — it lacks emotion, experience, and personal meaning. But it can still be a powerful tool to help us get started.

    “Just make it exist first. You can make it good later,” Siegle says about the importance of overcoming perfectionism.

    AI tools like Goblin.tools and MagicSchool.ai help students break big tasks into smaller steps. They can produce rough drafts that students later refine, easing anxiety about starting.

    “AI can be the friendly assistant nudging us to take that first step,” Siegle says.

    Some fear AI will stifle creativity, leaving students reliant on algorithms instead of thinking for themselves, but Siegle argues that AI often sparks more original ideas. One study he cites found that students using ChatGPT generated more unique ideas than those using traditional brainstorming. He envisions students defining creative problems — like designing science experiments or writing stories — while AI suggests new angles, helps organize ideas, and offers fresh perspectives. This collaboration, he believes, creates results neither humans nor AI could achieve alone.

    As AI grows more capable, Siegle predicts it will transform the skills schools emphasize. Instead of memorizing facts, students will focus on creative thinking, connecting ideas across disciplines, and evaluating information critically. AI can help students at every level of creativity, Siegle says, from small personal projects to professional innovations. For everyday creators, AI offers a safe, judgment-free space to experiment without fear of failure. Wang agrees, stressing that AI should remain an assistant, not a replacement.

    “Teachers bring empathy, flexibility, and human understanding that technology can’t replicate,” she says.

    Neville echoes the same optimism, with caution: “AI can be an incredible tool. But it must always serve to enhance — not replace — the deeply human work at the heart of education.”

  • MIL-OSI: Youtech Survey Reveals Traditional Search Still Dominates Local Discovery, AI Adoption Growing with Key Challenges Ahead

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • The report revealed consumers trust Google for local business search (93.2%), while AI seeks to improve accuracy and address human touch concerns.
    • Youtech’s data highlights opportunities for businesses to optimize across both traditional and AI search surfaces.

    LISLE, Ill., July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Youtech, a leading global full-service digital marketing agency, today announced the findings of its latest consumer survey, shedding light on how people search for local businesses online. The research indicates that while AI assistants are gaining traction, traditional search engines like Google remain the primary tool for local business discovery, highlighting specific areas where AI needs to improve to gain wider adoption.

    “Our data clearly shows that consumers value reliability and comprehensiveness when searching for local businesses,” said Wilbur You, CEO of Youtech. “While the buzz around AI is undeniable, the numbers revealed a critical need for AI assistants to enhance their accuracy, real-time information, and integration with familiar tools to truly compete with traditional search for local businesses.”

    Key Survey Findings:

    Consumers continue to predominantly rely on traditional search engines for discovering local businesses. A significant majority, 93.2% of respondents, indicated they trust Google over AI for this purpose. Looking ahead, this preference seems likely to persist, as the report notes that AI is not yet replacing traditional search, though consumer interest is growing fast.

    The survey highlights that Restaurants & Food (88%), Home & Home Improvement (55.3%), and Automotive (42%) are the most frequently searched local business categories. Despite the growing presence of AI, its adoption for local business searches is still relatively low, with 56.7% of consumers having never utilized an AI assistant for this specific purpose. For those who have, usage is infrequent, with 27.3% having done so in the last week.

    The most critical factors identified for AI to compete with traditional search for local business discovery were more accurate, up-to-date info (39.1%) and better integration with maps (15%). This emphasizes a foundational trust deficit, as 93.2% of respondents would trust traditional Google Search more to find or evaluate a local business. Consumers prioritize the accuracy of information and trust when choosing between AI and traditional search tools.

    A key concern about using AI for local business searches is missing the human touch (31.7%), followed by outdated or incorrect information (28.3%). Consumers value reviews, hours, photos, and service details most for local business searches. Furthermore, real-time information, such as real-time booking, is considered extremely important and a deal-breaker, if missing, by 9% of respondents.

    “Local search is pivoting, and our findings emphasize that while AI is a powerful emerging force, the bedrock of consumer trust remains firmly rooted in accuracy and relevance,” said Michael Norris, CMO of Youtech. “Businesses that proactively refine their presence across both traditional search engines and emerging AI platforms will be best positioned to capture the attention and loyalty of today’s consumers.”

    The survey was conducted independently by Youtech with 150 consumers from June 26–28, 2025. Full results can be found here: https://www.youtechagency.com/2025-ai-local-search-consumer-report/

  • MIL-OSI: Little Pepe Crosses $6.3M as Stage 5 Presale Nears Sellout

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Little Pepe has surged over the $6.3 million mark in presale, signaling strong investor confidence as Stage 5 nears completion.

    Priced at $0.0014, $LILPEPE continues to attract attention for its powerful mix of meme-fueled community buzz and real blockchain infrastructure. Built on a custom Ethereum Layer 2 network optimized for speed and ultra-low fees, Little Pepe is rapidly emerging as one of 2025’s most promising meme coin projects—driven by both solid technology and accelerating demand as Stage 5 nears completion.

    A Rising Star in the Meme Coin Market

    With over $6.3 million raised in presale, Little Pepe is now in Stage 5, where tokens are priced at $0.0014—but this stage is quickly nearing completion. This significant milestone is more than just a number—it reflects rising investor confidence in a project that’s redefining what it means to be a meme coin in today’s evolving crypto market.

    Rather than relying totally on hype, Little Pepe is bringing genuine blockchain cost to the table. Built on a custom Ethereum-like minded Layer 2 network, it offers real scalability, lightning-rapid transactions, and near-zero fees. These are the functions that separate Little Pepe from typical meme coins that regularly fizzle after an initial pump.

    The Power of EVM Layer 2 Technology

    At its core, Little Pepe leverages an EVM-well matched Layer 2 blockchain, which means that it’s designed to work seamlessly with Ethereum while solving its biggest pain points—namely, congestion and gas fees.

    Layer 2 technology isn’t new, but applying it to a meme coin ecosystem is still relatively rare. That’s why $LILPEPE stands out. It not only entertains and engages through meme culture but also solves real performance problems in the crypto world. Investors are increasingly looking for projects that blend fun and functionality—and Little Pepe delivers both.

    Community Momentum and Cultural Relevance

    Little Pepe’s growth isn’t just driven by technology—it’s also powered by an enthusiastic and growing community. Across platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Telegram, and social platforms, the $LILPEPE army is expanding rapidly. Meme creators, influencers, and crypto enthusiasts alike are fueling engagement by sharing content, participating in community discussions, and supporting the presale.

    This grassroots energy is one of the project’s biggest strengths. Memes have proven time and again to be a powerful vehicle for spreading awareness, and with a strong technical foundation underneath, Little Pepe has all the ingredients to go viral—and stay relevant.

    Stage 5 Nears Its End: Last Chance to Get In Early

    With Stage 5 currently going on, crypto enthusiasts still have a limited-time to buy $LILPEPE at the presale price of $0.0014 before the next price jump. Backed by strong momentum and impressive presale, the project is drawing comparisons to past meme coin giants like PEPE and SHIB—yet stands out with its real-world utility, powered by a custom-built Ethereum Layer 2 network designed for speed, scalability, and low fees.

    The presale structure has helped create excitement at every segment, and with every funding purpose met, Little Pepe becomes greater seen within the larger crypto conversation. As more traders take notice, demand is expected to rise—making it a strategic access factor for the ones looking to get ahead of the curve.

    Little Pepe is more than just another meme coin—it’s a scalable blockchain platform, a vibrant community, and a cultural movement rolled into one.

  • MIL-OSI: Little Pepe Crosses $6.3M as Stage 5 Presale Nears Sellout

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Little Pepe has surged over the $6.3 million mark in presale, signaling strong investor confidence as Stage 5 nears completion.

    Priced at $0.0014, $LILPEPE continues to attract attention for its powerful mix of meme-fueled community buzz and real blockchain infrastructure. Built on a custom Ethereum Layer 2 network optimized for speed and ultra-low fees, Little Pepe is rapidly emerging as one of 2025’s most promising meme coin projects—driven by both solid technology and accelerating demand as Stage 5 nears completion.

    A Rising Star in the Meme Coin Market

    With over $6.3 million raised in presale, Little Pepe is now in Stage 5, where tokens are priced at $0.0014—but this stage is quickly nearing completion. This significant milestone is more than just a number—it reflects rising investor confidence in a project that’s redefining what it means to be a meme coin in today’s evolving crypto market.

    Rather than relying totally on hype, Little Pepe is bringing genuine blockchain cost to the table. Built on a custom Ethereum-like minded Layer 2 network, it offers real scalability, lightning-rapid transactions, and near-zero fees. These are the functions that separate Little Pepe from typical meme coins that regularly fizzle after an initial pump.

    The Power of EVM Layer 2 Technology

    At its core, Little Pepe leverages an EVM-well matched Layer 2 blockchain, which means that it’s designed to work seamlessly with Ethereum while solving its biggest pain points—namely, congestion and gas fees.

    Layer 2 technology isn’t new, but applying it to a meme coin ecosystem is still relatively rare. That’s why $LILPEPE stands out. It not only entertains and engages through meme culture but also solves real performance problems in the crypto world. Investors are increasingly looking for projects that blend fun and functionality—and Little Pepe delivers both.

    Community Momentum and Cultural Relevance

    Little Pepe’s growth isn’t just driven by technology—it’s also powered by an enthusiastic and growing community. Across platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Telegram, and social platforms, the $LILPEPE army is expanding rapidly. Meme creators, influencers, and crypto enthusiasts alike are fueling engagement by sharing content, participating in community discussions, and supporting the presale.

    This grassroots energy is one of the project’s biggest strengths. Memes have proven time and again to be a powerful vehicle for spreading awareness, and with a strong technical foundation underneath, Little Pepe has all the ingredients to go viral—and stay relevant.

    Stage 5 Nears Its End: Last Chance to Get In Early

    With Stage 5 currently going on, crypto enthusiasts still have a limited-time to buy $LILPEPE at the presale price of $0.0014 before the next price jump. Backed by strong momentum and impressive presale, the project is drawing comparisons to past meme coin giants like PEPE and SHIB—yet stands out with its real-world utility, powered by a custom-built Ethereum Layer 2 network designed for speed, scalability, and low fees.

    The presale structure has helped create excitement at every segment, and with every funding purpose met, Little Pepe becomes greater seen within the larger crypto conversation. As more traders take notice, demand is expected to rise—making it a strategic access factor for the ones looking to get ahead of the curve.

    Little Pepe is more than just another meme coin—it’s a scalable blockchain platform, a vibrant community, and a cultural movement rolled into one. With over $6.3 million raised, a EVM Layer 2 network, and Stage 5 nearing completion, $LILPEPE is well on its way to becoming one of 2025’s standout crypto stories.

  • MIL-OSI: IROSH Launches AI-Powered Profit-Sharing Ecosystem, Ushering in the Future of Decentralized Wealth Creation

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ISTANBUL, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The future of DeFi is here. IROSH, an AI-powered crypto trading and profit-sharing platform, has officially launched its ecosystem with all core products live—and the much-anticipated presale now underway. This is a unique opportunity for early supporters to join a real, working system designed to transform market volatility into real, shareable rewards.

    At its core, IROSH leverages advanced AI trading bots to execute high-frequency trades in the crypto futures market. What sets it apart is its profit-sharing model—where 50% of all trading profits are distributed directly to IROSH holders, offering true passive income backed by real performance.

    Presale Now Live — Be Early, Earn Early

    The IROSH presale is officially live, giving early adopters a chance to purchase tokens at an exclusive rate before public launch. With all DApps already live and generating results, presale participants enter a fully functioning ecosystem—not just a promise.

    Join the presale now at irosh.io

    Irosh Swap
    Skip third-party DEX platforms—buy IROSH directly and securely through the built-in Irosh Swap, simplifying user access and reducing transaction friction.

    Irosh Staking
    Holders can put their IROSH tokens to work through staking, earning passive yield and strengthening their position in the ecosystem simply by holding and participating.

    AI Trading (Lending Model)
    This is where IROSH redefines DeFi. Users can lend their IROSH tokens as collateral to activate access to the platform’s live AI crypto futures trading. Here’s the game-changer: profits are paid out in USDT, offering stable, dependable income—unlike most utility tokens that rely on fluctuating native token rewards.

    Irosh Vesting
    Transparency is key. Almost 50% of the total token supply is already in vesting, with the team allocation locked over a 2-year period. Investors and the community can monitor all vesting schedules through the live vesting dashboard: irosh.io/vesting

    Coming Soon: Governance for the People

    Looking ahead, IROSH plans to introduce decentralized governance, allowing token holders to vote on key ecosystem decisions. This will turn every IROSH holder into an active participant in shaping the platform’s future—from development priorities to community incentives.

    Why IROSH Stands Out

    • Real Rewards: Unlike speculative assets, IROSH delivers real returns based on actual trading performance.
    • Community-Driven: The platform rewards holders, not just traders—making everyone in the ecosystem a stakeholder.
    • Transparent & Scalable: With live performance data, open vesting, and a sustainable business model, IROSH builds confidence and paves the way for long-term adoption.

    “With the presale live and our ecosystem already delivering, IROSH isn’t just an idea—it’s an income engine ready to scale,” said a spokesperson for IROSH. “We’re building a future where every holder earns, decides, and grows with us.”

  • MIL-OSI Analysis: How Eurostack could offer Canada a route to digital independence from the United States

    Source: The Conversation – Canada – By Ted Palys, Professor of Criminology, Associate Member of Dept. of Indigenous Studies, Simon Fraser University

    The contemporary internet has been with us since roughly 1995. Its current underlying economic model — surveillance capitalism — began in the early 2000s, when Google and then Facebook realized how much our personal information and online behaviour revealed about us and claimed it for themselves to sell to advertisers.

    Perhaps because of Canada’s proximity to the United States, coupled with its positive shared history with the U.S. and their highly integrated economies, Canada went along for that consumerist ride.

    The experience was different on the other side of the Atlantic. The Stasi in the former East Germany and the KGB under Josef Stalin maintained files on hundreds of thousands of citizens to identify and prosecute dissidents.

    Having witnessed this invasion of privacy and its weaponization first-hand, Europe has been far ahead of North America in developing protections. These include the General Data Protection Regulation and the Law Enforcement Directive, with protection of personal data also listed in the European Union’s Charter of Fundamental Rights.

    Canada clearly took too much for granted in its relationship with the U.S. Suddenly, Canada is being threatened with tariffs and President Donald Trump’s expressed desire to make Canada the 51st American state.

    This has fuelled the motivation of Canada both internally and in co-operation with western European governments to seek greater independence in trade and military preparedness by diversifying its relationships.

    Prime Minister Mark Carney has begun promoting “nation-building projects,” but little attention has been paid to Canada’s digital infrastructure.



    Read more:
    How Canadian nationalism is evolving with the times — and will continue to do so

    Three areas of concern

    Three recent developments suggest Canada would be well-advised to start paying close attention:

    1. The current U.S. administration has raised concerns about its reliability as a partner and friend to Canada. Most of the concerns raised in Canada have been economic. However, Curtis McCord, a former national security and technology researcher for the Canadian government, has said the current situation has created vulnerabilities for national security as well:

    “With Washington becoming an increasingly unreliable ally, Mr. Carney is right to look for ways to diversify away from the U.S. But if Canada wants to maintain its sovereignty and be responsible for its national security, this desire to diversify must extend to the U.S. domination of Canada’s digital infrastructure.”

    2. Silicon Valley is exhibiting a newfound loyalty to Trump. The photo of the “broligarchy” at Trump’s inauguration spoke volumes, as their apparent eagerness to appease the president brings the data gathered by the internet’s surveillance-based economy under state control.

    3. Trump’s recent executive order entitled “Stopping waste, fraud and abuse by eliminating information silos” is alarming. The order became operational when the Trump administration contracted with Palantir, a company known for its surveillance software and data analytics in military contexts. Its job? To combine databases from both the state and federal levels into one massive database that includes every American citizen, and potentially any user of the internet.

    Combining multiple government databases is concerning. Combining them with all the personal data harvested by Silicon Valley and providing them to a government showing all the hallmarks of an authoritarian regime sounds like Big Brother has arrived.

    Civil liberties groups such as the Electronic Freedom Foundation, academics and even former Palantir employees have raised alarms about the possibilities for abuse, including the launch of all the vendettas Trump and his supporters have pledged to undertake.

    The appeal of Eurostack

    European governments have attempted to rein in Silicon Valley’s excesses for years. Trump’s re-election and his moves toward potentially weaponizing internet data have further boosted Europe’s resolve to move away from the U.S.-led internet.

    One newer effort is Eurostack. A joint initiative involving academics, policymakers, companies and governments, it envisions an independent digital ecosystem that better reflects European values — democratic, sovereign, inclusive, transparent, respectful of personal privacy and innovation-driven.

    Spokesperson Francesca Bria explains the “stack” arises from the idea that a digitally sovereign internet needs to have European control from the ground up.

    Bria discusses Eurostack in May 2025. (re:publica)

    That includes the acquisition of raw materials and manufacture and operation of the physical components that comprise computers and servers; the cloud infrastructure that has the processing power and storage to be operational at scale; the operating systems and applications that comprise the user interface; the AI models and algorithms that drive services and its policy and governance framework.

    Prospective gains to Europe are considerable. They include greater cybersecurity, promoting innovation, keeping high-end creative jobs in Europe, promoting collaboration on equitable terms and creating high-skilled employment opportunities.

    Canada receives no mention in the Eurostack proposal to date, but the project is still very much in the developmental phase. Investment so far is in the tens of millions instead of the billions it will require.

    Canada has a lot to offer and to gain from being part of the Eurostack initiative. With the project still taking shape, now is the perfect time to get on board.

  • MIL-OSI China: China’s economic development zones aim for greater role in reform, opening up

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    BEIJING, July 14 — During the initial years of China’s historic journey of reform and opening up over four decades ago, the first 14 national-level economic and technological development zones were established in 12 coastal cities. Today, there is a vast network of 232 such zones right across the country, serving as vital engines of development.

    In the latest episode of China Economic Roundtable, an all-media talk show hosted by Xinhua News Agency, a commerce official, a zone administrator and an executive of a foreign-invested company convened to explore the evolving role of these zones in shaping China’s next phase of high-standard opening up, in-depth reform and high-quality development.

    National economic development zones are not only economic powerhouses but also key windows for global engagement, said Ji Xiaofeng, an official in the Ministry of Commerce’s foreign investment department.

    Notably, such zones are home to more than 60,000 foreign-invested enterprises and around 99,000 firms engaged in foreign trade.

    In 2024 alone, national economic development zones accounted for about one-quarter of China’s utilized foreign investment and trade volume. Collectively, they generated a regional GDP of 16.9 trillion yuan (about 2.36 trillion U.S. dollars) and housed over 4.9 million market entities, including 73,000 major industrial enterprises and 85,000 high-tech firms.

    Looking forward, Ji said these zones need to further improve and innovate in areas ranging from development positioning to institutions in a bid to shoulder greater responsibilities in fostering development and expanding opening up.

    To this end, the Ministry of Commerce recently unveiled a work plan with 16 targeted policy measures including developing new quality productive forces, elevating economic openness and deepening reforms of management systems.

    INNOVATION-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT

    China’s national economic development zones have started to speed up their innovation efforts, seeking to foster new growth drivers.

    Suzhou Industrial Park, founded in 1994 in east China’s Jiangsu Province as the first inter-governmental cooperation project between China and Singapore, exemplifies this development trend. This industrial park leverages global partnerships and its free trade status in a quest to become a world-class high-tech park.

    Shen Lei, deputy director of the park’s management committee, highlighted its focus on attracting global resources and integrating technological and industrial innovation.

    National economic development zones now account for 18.3 percent of China’s high-tech enterprises and host more than 700 state-level incubators and innovation spaces.

    “They boast high industrial concentration and solid manufacturing foundations, making them ideal for developing new quality productive forces tailored to local strengths,” Ji said.

    These zones have become powerhouses for strategic emerging industries. In southwest China’s Sichuan Province, for example, the Yibin zone has built the world’s largest single-site power battery production base featuring a 180 GWh capacity. Another zone in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, meanwhile, boasts complete industrial chains from aviation equipment to satellite applications.

    More efforts will be made to cultivate modern industrial systems in national economic development zones, centered around sectors such as biomedicine, new energy and materials, aerospace, high-end equipment manufacturing and artificial intelligence (AI), Ji revealed.

    PIONEERS OF OPENING UP

    Over the past decades, national economic development zones have been trailblazers in institutional innovation, foreign investment and economic growth, setting the pace for China’s reform and opening-up endeavors.

    These zones have explored free trade pilot synergies to foster breakthroughs in areas including resource flows, rights protection and market regulation. Some have also proactively aligned with high-standard international trade rules to enhance their institutional openness, Ji said.

    “The strategic location, industrial chains and policy support of these zones make them highly attractive for Panasonic to make investments in China,” said Zhao Bingdi, president of Panasonic China.

    A 47-year veteran of the Chinese market, Panasonic operates in national economic development zones of eight cities like Beijing, north China’s Tianjin and Shanghai. Its 2024 fiscal year sales in China approached 100 billion yuan — nearly a quarter of Panasonic’s global revenue.

    “China is not just a manufacturing giant but a major consumer and innovation hub, offering vast opportunities for foreign firms,” said Zhao. He added that recent policies supporting technological platforms and the integration between the digital economy and the real economy will facilitate Panasonic’s investments in areas ranging from AI to new energy.

    Experts noted that the latest reform measures concerning China’s national economic development zones will provide foreign firms with a higher-level platform, thereby encouraging increased R&D investment and deeper collaboration with local enterprises. Thanks to improving industrial ecosystems, global companies will be able to seize greater opportunities in China’s vibrant market.

    Shen Lei, deputy director of the park’s management committee, highlighted its focus on attracting global resources and integrating technological and industrial innovation.

    National economic development zones now account for 18.3 percent of China’s high-tech enterprises and host more than 700 state-level incubators and innovation spaces.

    “They boast high industrial concentration and solid manufacturing foundations, making them ideal for developing new quality productive forces tailored to local strengths,” Ji said.

    These zones have become powerhouses for strategic emerging industries. In southwest China’s Sichuan Province, for example, the Yibin zone has built the world’s largest single-site power battery production base featuring a 180 GWh capacity. Another zone in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, meanwhile, boasts complete industrial chains from aviation equipment to satellite applications.

    More efforts will be made to cultivate modern industrial systems in national economic development zones, centered around sectors such as biomedicine, new energy and materials, aerospace, high-end equipment manufacturing and artificial intelligence (AI), Ji revealed.

    PIONEERS OF OPENING UP

    Over the past decades, national economic development zones have been trailblazers in institutional innovation, foreign investment and economic growth, setting the pace for China’s reform and opening-up endeavors.

    These zones have explored free trade pilot synergies to foster breakthroughs in areas including resource flows, rights protection and market regulation. Some have also proactively aligned with high-standard international trade rules to enhance their institutional openness, Ji said.

    “The strategic location, industrial chains and policy support of these zones make them highly attractive for Panasonic to make investments in China,” said Zhao Bingdi, president of Panasonic China.

    A 47-year veteran of the Chinese market, Panasonic operates in national economic development zones of eight cities like Beijing, north China’s Tianjin and Shanghai. Its 2024 fiscal year sales in China approached 100 billion yuan — nearly a quarter of Panasonic’s global revenue.

    “China is not just a manufacturing giant but a major consumer and innovation hub, offering vast opportunities for foreign firms,” said Zhao. He added that recent policies supporting technological platforms and the integration between the digital economy and the real economy will facilitate Panasonic’s investments in areas ranging from AI to new energy.

    Experts noted that the latest reform measures concerning China’s national economic development zones will provide foreign firms with a higher-level platform, thereby encouraging increased R&D investment and deeper collaboration with local enterprises. Thanks to improving industrial ecosystems, global companies will be able to seize greater opportunities in China’s vibrant market.

  • MIL-OSI China: China’s economic development zones aim for greater role in reform, opening up

    BEIJING, July 14 — During the initial years of China’s historic journey of reform and opening up over four decades ago, the first 14 national-level economic and technological development zones were established in 12 coastal cities. Today, there is a vast network of 232 such zones right across the country, serving as vital engines of development.

    In the latest episode of China Economic Roundtable, an all-media talk show hosted by Xinhua News Agency, a commerce official, a zone administrator and an executive of a foreign-invested company convened to explore the evolving role of these zones in shaping China’s next phase of high-standard opening up, in-depth reform and high-quality development.

    National economic development zones are not only economic powerhouses but also key windows for global engagement, said Ji Xiaofeng, an official in the Ministry of Commerce’s foreign investment department.

    Notably, such zones are home to more than 60,000 foreign-invested enterprises and around 99,000 firms engaged in foreign trade.

    In 2024 alone, national economic development zones accounted for about one-quarter of China’s utilized foreign investment and trade volume. Collectively, they generated a regional GDP of 16.9 trillion yuan (about 2.36 trillion U.S. dollars) and housed over 4.9 million market entities, including 73,000 major industrial enterprises and 85,000 high-tech firms.

    Looking forward, Ji said these zones need to further improve and innovate in areas ranging from development positioning to institutions in a bid to shoulder greater responsibilities in fostering development and expanding opening up.

    To this end, the Ministry of Commerce recently unveiled a work plan with 16 targeted policy measures including developing new quality productive forces, elevating economic openness and deepening reforms of management systems.

    INNOVATION-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT

    China’s national economic development zones have started to speed up their innovation efforts, seeking to foster new growth drivers.
