    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    COCONUT CREEK, Fla., March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Air India Express (“AIX”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Air India, has signed definitive engine sale and leaseback agreements with Willis Lease Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: WLFC) (“WLFC” or the “Company”) for 26 CFM56-7B engines installed on 13 of its Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The engines will be covered under WLFC’s ConstantThrust® program providing enhanced reliability and significant cost savings compared to traditional MRO shop visits. This program is in addition to the ConstantThrust® program signed by WLFC and Air India in 2022, covering 34 CFM56-5B engines installed on Air India’s Airbus A320 family fleet. Both programs will be managed in part by WLFC’s team located in GIFT City, India.

    WLFC’s ConstantThrust® program helps airlines manage the risk and cost of engine overhauls by providing serviceable engines from its portfolio in place of engines that need to be removed for maintenance. This streamlined process reduces engine downtime, eliminates maintenance unpredictability, and lowers engine change costs, enabling airlines to focus on their core operations without disruption.

    “WLFC’s ConstantThrust® program has been successful so far for Air India and we are pleased to expand our partnership with WLFC in support of the Air India Express fleet,” said Aloke Singh, Chief Executive Officer of Air India. “This agreement allows us to eliminate the uncertainties associated with engine maintenance and mitigate unpredictable costs. WLFC’s ConstantThrust® program will help us improve fleet reliability, reduce cost and optimize cash flows.”

    “We believe Air India Express’ decision to select ConstantThrust® evidences that Air India is realizing value from our ConstantThrust® program and also validates our team’s performance on that program, ” said Brian R. Hole, President of Willis Lease Finance Corporation. “This is a great opportunity for us to continue supporting the growth of the Indian aviation industry, in general, and the Air India family of airlines, specifically.”

    “We greatly value our long-standing relationship with Air India and are excited to continue providing innovative, programmatic solutions that deliver enhanced flexibility and cost efficiency for Air India Express and our global customers,” said Austin C. Willis, Chief Executive Officer of WLFC.

    Willis Lease Finance Corporation
    Willis Lease Finance Corporation (“WLFC”) leases large and regional spare commercial aircraft engines, auxiliary power units and aircraft to airlines, aircraft engine manufacturers and maintenance, repair, and overhaul providers worldwide. These leasing activities are integrated with engine and aircraft trading, engine lease pools and asset management services through Willis Asset Management Limited, as well as various end-of-life solutions for engines and aviation materials provided through Willis Aeronautical Services, Inc.

  • MIL-OSI: ‘Cusp of New Era’ — Jitterbit Study Shows Growing Appetite for AI, Automation to Solve ‘Data Divide,’ Resource Constraints

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ALAMEDA, Calif., March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jitterbit, a global leader in accelerating business transformation for enterprise systems, today unveiled the findings of The 2025 Automation Benchmark Report: Insights from IT Leaders on Enterprise Automation & the Future of AI-Driven Businesses. The survey, which gathered insights from 1,000 IT decision-makers in the U.S. and U.K., reveals the growing appetite for using AI to implement enterprise automation, but highlights lack of resources and security concerns as challenges to overcome.

    “The path to success is clear: businesses must break down data silos and automate workflows to thrive in the age of AI,” said Jitterbit President and CEO Bill Conner. “While many organizations still struggle to find the resources across IT, IS, and line-of-business teams to bridge this ‘data divide,’ the opportunity for those who can is immense. We’re on the cusp of a new era of efficiency and innovation, driven by true end-to-end AI automation.”

    The study, conducted by Censuswide Research, reveals that IT and line-of-business teams are increasingly aligned in their efforts to close the data gap and drive greater collaboration to alleviate IT bottlenecks and offload growing demands on IT teams. And while enterprises are racing to leverage AI-driven automation and application development, resources, security concerns and integration hurdles remain obstacles. Key findings include:

    A Growing ‘Data Divide’

    • 67% of enterprises today deploy over 500 applications, creating significant data silos.
    • 70% of resource demand for enterprise automation falls to IT teams.
    • 99% of IT leaders acknowledge the need for seamless integration and automation, yet 71% still lack a unified platform to achieve it.

    Increasing Importance of Self-Sufficiency for Line-of-Business Leaders

    • 97% of IT leaders recognize the importance of empowering non-technical users to build, deploy, and maintain applications and integrations, ensuring faster time to value.

    Agentic AI on the Horizon

    • 99% of enterprises have integrated AI into their operations; early-adopter organizations increasingly see agentic AI as the next frontier.
    • 31% of enterprises are already planning for agentic AI, signaling the next wave of autonomous decision-making enterprise AI solutions, which require end-to-end AI automation.

    IT’s Biggest Challenges

    • Cybersecurity, data privacy, scaling, resources and compliance remain the top concerns for IT leaders navigating the AI-powered automation landscape.
    • 50% of IT leaders cite vulnerabilities in AI-powered, third-party integrations as their top data security concern. This underscores the urgent need for robust AI security protocols, platform security controls and accountability processes.

    “Legacy automation, designed to execute isolated tasks, is no longer sufficient enough to keep up with modern business demands,” said Jitterbit CTO Manoj Chaudhary. “Agentic AI is driving a fundamental shift — moving from task-based automation to intelligent automation with adaptive workflows that drive real business outcomes. By leveraging AI-driven decision-making, enterprises can break free from data silos and IT bottlenecks, enabling seamless end-to-end automation.”

  • MIL-OSI: WOO X warns of liquidity squeeze for early-stage tokens amid surge in volatility

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Early-stage tokens are facing a liquidity squeeze as market volatility, driven by US fiscal shifts and global uncertainties, makes it harder for underfunded projects to compete with better-funded ones, according to WOO X Research, the research arm of centralized crypto trading firm WOO X. 

    To address these challenges, WOO X has launched Swap Spotlight, a new section under ‘Markets’ alongside Spot and Futures. This feature allows CEX users to easily trade early-stage tokens with real-time price quotes from market makers, offering instant execution without the common slippage in DEXes. These tokens are exclusive to Swap Spotlight within WOO X and are not tradable on spot or futures markets. As they gain traction, they may eventually transition into broader markets. 

    “Valuable early-stage projects struggle to gain traction due to the liquidity squeeze in today’s volatile market. For example, during the peak of TRUMP, when the token surged over 100x in just a few days, underfunded projects struggled to gain attention, leaving them unable to compete for visibility or liquidity in the market,” said Pat Zhang, Head of Research at WOO X.

    WOO X Swap Spotlight addresses this challenge by giving traders early access to high-potential tokens with guaranteed execution and no slippage. This ensures they don’t miss out on emerging onchain opportunities. At the same time, it provides these projects with increased exposure and early access to liquidity outside of the typical onchain markets.

    “What WOO X Swap Spotlight offers is early access to tokens and opportunities before their prices are fully discovered. Since it’s an RFQ (Request for Quote) model, the price is guaranteed—there’s no slippage, and users pay exactly what they see on the screen. To put it in perspective, this is similar to over-the-counter (OTC) trading, where buy or sell orders don’t impact the market price, unlike typical market buys and sells that can cause price fluctuations,” said Bryan Chu, Chief Strategy Officer at WOO X.

    WOO X Swap Spotlight curates a list of promising early-stage tokens, offering exclusive access to these assets. Unlike traditional CEXes where liquidity is often constrained, the tokens featured in Swap Spotlight are supported by real-time price quotes from market makers, allowing users to trade seamlessly. What sets Swap Spotlight apart is its highly curated selection, handpicked by the WOO X Research team, which provides expert insights into high-potential tokens.

    Swap Spotlight is an educational and informational initiative only and does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee of listing on WOO X, nor does it guarantee any financial return. Tokens are selected based on various factors, including community interest, traction, and market trends. Users should conduct their research and exercise caution when making investment decisions.

    Try Swap Spotlight on WOO X for a chance to WIN a share of $20,000!

  • MIL-OSI: Axi Select Celebrates Its Youngest $1,000,000 Funded Trader as 21-Year-Old Trader Achieves Top Milestone

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SYDNEY, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Following the announcement of Axi Select’s first two $1,000,000 funded traders, leading online FX and CFD broker Axi, has announced the program’s third Pro M trader: 21-year-old trader, Kayan Freitas. This is a remarkable milestone for the broker’s capital allocation program, redefining what’s possible when a program is designed to unlock and maximise traders’ full potential.

    This is not the first time that Kayan has made his mark in the program. In January, he reached the Pro 500 stage, securing $500K in funding. Reflecting on his trading journey with Axi Select at the time, Kayan commented: “With Axi, I’ve never had a problem with any consistency rules or just hidden things to make you lose. Nothing. You really give us the freedom to just trade however we want, and this is what I appreciate a lot.” One key factor behind his achievement in January was consistency, with Kayan emphasising that “It took me around nine months of consistent trading.”

    Greg Rubin, Head of Axi Select, also shares his excitement for the program’s latest success, noting, “As we’ve already said, trading is difficult, and whilst not everyone will reach the top, having a program designed to unlock and sharpen traders’ full potential makes all the difference. Our third Pro M trader, Kayan, is just 21 years old, with only 3-4 years of trading experience. His remarkable achievement highlights the power of combining talent with a trader-centric program, demonstrating that with the right tools and support, traders can truly maximise their profit potential.”

    Just a few weeks ago, Axi Select announced its first two $1M funded traders, Francisco Quesada Godines and Daniel Gutiérrez Viñas. Launched in 2023, the program offers traders the opportunity to access capital funding up to $1,000,000 USD and earn up to 90% of their profits. Moreover, Axi Select traders benefit from $0 membership fees*, trading on a live account, unrestrictive trading conditions, an exclusive trading room, and more.

    *Standard trading fees apply.

    The Axi Select program is only available to clients of AxiTrader Limited. CFDs carry a high risk of investment loss.

    • Low Customer Service Efficiency: High consultation volumes and a limited customer service team led to long response times and reduced customer satisfaction.

    To address these challenges, Company F opted for an innovative solution: the GPTBots AI customer service system.

  • MIL-OSI: New Eclipse Foundation Research Examines Key Challenges Shaping Open Source Software Adoption in the Automotive Industry

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BRUSSELS, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Eclipse Foundation, one of the world’s largest open source software foundations, today published the final report in its landmark three-part research series on the use of open source software in the automotive ecosystem. Titled Challenges Facing Open Source Software in the Automotive Ecosystem, the report explores the unique challenges developers and decision-makers encounter when leveraging open source software in today’s software-defined vehicle (SDV) landscape.

    “Open source has emerged as one of the most transformative forces in modern vehicle design,” said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. “But any significant paradigm shift is bound to introduce some challenges. Our goal with this report is to shine a light on these challenges so the community can address them collaboratively, smoothing the path forward for SDV innovation.”

    Key Findings:

    • Performance, security, and customisability are core open source benefits: Both decision-makers and developers agree that improved performance, stronger security, and customisability are the top advantages of OSS.
    • Integration Challenges and Sustained Performance Improvements Require Ongoing Investment: These same stakeholders view integration complexity, continual real-time performance improvements, and scalability as potential “technical blockers” that demand strategic investment.
    • Management Demands and Predictability Remain Concerns: Long-term planning, compliance, and dependency management were flagged—especially by decision-makers—as critical areas needing careful oversight.
    • Cost Savings Drive Business Value, While Standardisation and Interoperability Drive Engineering Value: Both of these benefits help to justify and alleviate business and technical challenges.
    • Foundation Support Strengthens Trust and Confidence in OSS Projects: Respondents overwhelmingly agree that open source foundation stewardship is critical as a source of credibility, stability, sustainability, and guidance for open source projects.

    Recommendations for Developers, Business Leaders, and Policy Makers
    In addition to presenting key findings, the report outlines actionable insights for key stakeholders:

    • For Software Developers: Advocate for streamlined OSS integration through improved tooling, documentation, and processes. Engaging with foundations and open source communities is key to accessing resources and ensuring long-term project viability.
    • For Business Leaders: Recognise that while OSS offers clear benefits, realizing its full value requires strategic investment in integration, maintenance, governance, and management resources.
    • For Policymakers: Support policies that strengthen the role of OSS foundations in fostering project stability, security audits, and transparent governance frameworks.

    This report follows two prior publications:

    1. Driving Innovation & Building Safer Cars with Open Source Software, focused on the application of functional safety in software-defined vehicle design.
    2. Driving Efficiency and Sustainability: The Business Value of Open Source Software in the Automotive Industry, showcasing the transformative business impact of OSS in the automotive sector.

    Commissioned by the Eclipse Foundation’s Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) Working Group, the study surveyed 300 automotive developers and business leaders from leading OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers. The findings underscore the critical role of OSS in driving flexibility, innovation, and efficiency within the industry.

  • MIL-OSI: MEXC DEX+ Supports BSC Chain, Enabling Seamless Trading of Popular Multi-Chain Assets

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    VICTORIA, Seychelles, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MEXC, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has officially announced that its innovative product, DEX+, now supports Binance Smart Chain. This milestone advances MEXC’s efforts to connect centralized finance (CeFi) with decentralized finance (DeFi) through multi-chain trading, offering users low-cost, high-potential investment opportunities in the BSC ecosystem.

    DEX+ now fully supports the Solana ecosystem, integrating with popular liquidity sources such as pump.fun, PumpSwap, and Raydium, and offering access to over 10,000 on-chain assets. With the recent addition of BSC support, DEX+ also aggregates top DEXs like PancakeSwap, covering more than 5,000 popular tokens, including DeFi projects and memecoins. Looking ahead, DEX+ plans to integrate more leading DEXs across BSC, continuously enhancing liquidity depth and evolving into a one-stop, multi-chain trading platform. This upgrade enables a seamless “one account, multi-chain trading” experience, delivering CEX-level performance without the complexity of wallet creation or management. Users can now trade tens of thousands of assets across the Solana and BSC ecosystems, gaining early access to promising on-chain investment opportunities.

    BSC is renowned for its low gas fees and high transaction throughput, fueling the rise of leading DEXs like PancakeSwap. The recent surge in BSC memecoins has significantly boosted trading volume across the ecosystem, underscoring the growth potential of early-stage alpha tokens. With its rapid integration of BSC, DEX+ empowers users to access these trending assets early and seize high-return investment opportunities. In addition, DEX+ has upgraded its “Smart Money” feature, delivering real-time insights into tokens with high trading volumes, strong community traction, and notable growth potential. This allows users to better identify undervalued assets and optimize their investment strategies.

    Tracy Jin, Chief Operating Officer of MEXC, stated: “Integrating BSC marks a significant milestone in DEX+’s multi-chain strategy. Our goal is to provide users with broader access to on-chain investment opportunities, support the continued growth of the crypto ecosystem, and drive the true convergence of DeFi and CeFi. Through continuous cross-chain innovation, DEX+ empowers users to explore wealth opportunities across multiple blockchains—using just one account—ensuring a smooth and seamless transition from CeFi to DeFi.”

    Looking ahead, DEX+ plans to extend support to more leading blockchain networks including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, and zkSync, further enhancing liquidity and broadening asset coverage to build a seamless, efficient, and robust full-ecosystem trading platform. As DeFi trading volumes continue to rise, the deep integration of CeFi and DeFi is becoming an increasingly recognized industry trend. By leveraging its innovative liquidity solutions and technological strengths, DEX+ is at the forefront of this evolution—delivering a simpler, more efficient, and secure trading experience, while cementing its position as a global leader in the cryptocurrency market.

  • MIL-OSI: MEXC DEX+ Introduces the Rising Star Event to Support Market-Worthy Projects

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    VICTORIA, Seychelles, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, is excited to announce the launch of the Rising Star Event, featuring the platform’s new DEX+ feature. This initiative is designed to better integrate and interact with DEX and CEX listings, offering exciting opportunities to engage with promising projects in crypto. The Rising Star helps identify market-worthy projects in an early stage, providing them with a platform to gain increased exposure and liquidity.

    MEXC DEX+ is a hybrid product that enables users to trade directly on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) through the MEXC App and website, giving users the ability to trade over 10,000 tokens available on Raydium and pump.fun. Rising Star is an innovative ranking system within MEXC’s DEX+ that identifies market-worthy projects based on community votes and trading activity through a points-based system. The top-ranked project at the end of each round will have the opportunity to be listed on MEXC’s Spot and Futures markets. Users can accumulate points by actively trading a project’s token, propelling it to the top of the leaderboard for a chance to be listed, which provides increased exposure, liquidity, and market visibility.

    With an increasing number of on-chain assets and projects becoming key investment targets, the Rising Star aims to bridge the gap between DEX and CEX listings. Although these projects offer promising investment opportunities, they often face challenges due to a lack of liquidity and marketing support. The Rising Star event allows project communities to trade and support their tokens on DEX+, showcasing their engagement and backing. Rankings are entirely determined by trading activity, ensuring a transparent, unbiased, and merit-based selection process. This approach helps MEXC identify high-potential tokens that garner strong community and market support, enabling MEXC to provide the necessary visibility and support to solidify their presence in the market.

    “At MEXC, we strive to be a comprehensive platform that not only facilitates seamless trading but also helps users identify promising projects in the crypto space. Meanwhile, MEXC has made significant efforts to identify and support promising projects at an early stage. Through initiatives like the Rising Star event, we provide emerging projects with the marketing and listing support they need to succeed. By integrating DEX and CEX listings, we create an environment where high-potential tokens can gain the exposure and liquidity they deserve, enabling them to thrive in the competitive crypto market,” said Tracy Jin, COO of MEXC.

    MEXC recently launched DEX+ and formed strategic partnerships with pump.fun. In the future, DEX+ will support more DEXs and blockchain ecosystems, and MEXC is committed to driving innovation and supporting emerging projects in crypto. With the launch of Rising Star, every trader plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of cryptocurrency and advancing market growth, while also supporting these promising projects through a transparent system.

  • MIL-OSI: Broadcom Teams with Audi to Deliver Next-Generation IT-Based Factory Automation Powered by VMware Cloud Software

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALO ALTO, Calif., March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) today announced that Audi’s Edge Cloud 4 Production (EC4P) initiative, powered by VMware Cloud software, is now live with the first virtual programmable logic controller (vPLC) at the Boellinger Hoefe plant in Germany where Audi manufactures the electric Audi e-tron GT car. As part of the EC4P initiative, the VMware Cloud Foundation® (VCF) private cloud platform helps Audi centralize the management and maintenance of dedicated industrial PC devices located on the factory floor, simplify security patching and risk management, and reduce environmental impact through the use of less hardware and fewer manual operations.

    With EC4P, Audi is delivering smart manufacturing by bringing software-defined factory automation to the shop floor and bridging the gap between IT and OT. The initiative includes close partnership between key technology partners including Broadcom, Cisco and Siemens. ​​

    “The use of virtual programmable logic controllers in the body shop is an important productivity leap in our 360factory strategy for efficient and data-driven manufacturing,” said Audi Board Member for Production Gerd Walker. “We want to bring the local cloud for production to all plants and leverage advances in digital control systems in the process.”

    “The collaboration between Audi and Broadcom is core to building a manufacturing future that is more efficient, cost-effective and secure,” said Sven Müller, project lead for EC4P at Audi. “Through our work together, we’re setting new standards for precision, customization, and environmental sustainability. EC4P will reduce our hardware footprint, replacing thousands of decentralized industrial PCs with a more efficient, scalable and flexible architecture of local edge servers that unites the cloud and the edge on the shop floor.”

    Transforming IT-based Factory Automation with a Private Cloud Platform

    Audi deployed VMware Cloud Foundation to create a private cloud environment outside of the Boellinger Hoefe manufacturing plant where critical shop floor workloads are hosted and managed centrally. Some examples include:

    • Virtual Worker Stations (Virtual Desktops): Instead of maintaining physical industrial PCs for running thousands of “worker stations” across the factory, these can now be run as virtual machines (VM) on VMware Cloud Foundation outside of the actual plant. Software and operating system updates can be done as a parallel operation instead of forcing them into the short shift changeover times. If a worker station VM has issues, it can quickly be replaced remotely.
    • Virtual Programmable Logic Controllers (vPLCs): Virtual Programmable Logic Controllers (vPLCs) are used to control robots that manufacture different parts of the cars. A vPLC workload can be installed as a VM or even container and be managed similarly to IT-based cloud infrastructure. Configuration updates, security patches and feature updates can be made from Audi’s private cloud.

    Building on EC4P, upcoming use cases may include AI-driven production, data analytics and computer vision applications for Audi. With VMware Cloud Foundation, Audi aims to achieve the following benefits at Boellinger Hoefe:

    • Infrastructure standardization through one private cloud platform for all applications on the shop floor.
    • Faster updates and deployments through improved efficiency with faster application deployment, automated updates and maintenance.
    • Better agility and scalability through cloud infrastructure that makes it easier and faster to reconfigure a production line to accommodate a product mix change, and scale compute and storage infrastructure easily and independently.
    • Reduced costs through a smaller hardware footprint, less hardware maintenance, and centralized software and operating system updates.
    • Lower environmental impact through a smaller hardware footprint that generates less heat, consumes less power, and results in less e-waste.
    • Enhanced security and resilience through automated and centralized patching at scale and use of immutable snapshots in the event of an attack or breach enable fast roll back to the last known good state, minimizing interruption to the production line.
    • Less downtime through intelligent workload and network telemetry can proactively flag, diagnose and remediate issues and automated updates during planned maintenance windows.

    “As Audi seeks to take factory automation to the next level and benefit from a scalable infrastructure at its factories worldwide, VMware Cloud Foundation will enable the replacement of industrial PCs and specialty hardware on the shop floor with general purpose servers running consistent VMware cloud infrastructure software,” said Paul Turner, vice president of products, VMware Cloud Foundation Division at Broadcom. “VCF provides a consistent and scalable way for Audi to operate a distributed edge infrastructure, manage resources more efficiently, and lower operations costs. Ultimately, VCF will help Audi increase factory uptime, agility, and the speed of rolling out new applications and tools across the production line.”

  • MIL-OSI: What’s Putting Your Merchant Account at Risk — and How avoided.io Is Helping Businesses Stay Protected

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LONDON, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With billions lost to chargebacks and fraud every year, businesses across industries are facing more than just revenue losses — they’re risking the very foundation of their digital commerce: their merchant processing accounts.

    avoided.io, a real-time chargeback prevention and fraud alert platform, is tackling this problem head-on by empowering businesses to act before disputes escalate, keeping chargeback ratios low and processing accounts secure.

    In today’s volatile payments environment, exceeding chargeback thresholds can place merchants on network watchlists, such as Visa and Mastercard’s Excessive Chargeback Programs. The result? Higher fees, frozen funds, and the threat of account termination — all of which can cripple a business overnight.

    avoided.io reduces this risk through seamless integration with Ethoca and Verifi, delivering instant fraud alerts and chargeback warnings directly to merchants. This gives businesses the opportunity to stop fulfillment, issue proactive refunds, or dispute false claims before a chargeback is filed.

    “Our mission is simple — help merchants protect their revenue and their ability to operate,” said Rolands Selakovs, CEO of avoided.io. “We don’t just help fight fraud. We help keep merchants off acquirer radar and out of the red.”

    avoided.io also offers:

    • Automated dispute management with customizable rules
    • No-code integration for rapid deployment
    • Real-time reporting dashboards to track fraud and dispute trends

    The platform is especially valuable for medium to high-risk merchants in e-commerce, travel, subscriptions, and digital goods — sectors with elevated chargeback exposure.

    As payment providers and banks tighten their risk controls, merchants need smarter tools to remain compliant and reduce liability. avoided.io delivers that capability — all while improving operational efficiency and preserving customer trust.

    About avoided.io
    avoided.io is a chargeback prevention and fraud alert platform helping merchants reduce disputes, recover revenue, and safeguard payment processing accounts. Through real-time intelligence and automation, avoided.io enables businesses to stop fraud before it happens and maintain compliance with acquirer thresholds.

  • MIL-OSI: CEEC Expands Renewable Energy Investments Globally

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BEIJING, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Experts and industry insiders attended a panel discussion on energy transition at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference in Hainan province on Wednesday.

    China Energy Engineering Corp Ltd is planning for a bigger role in global energy transition and infrastructure development through its latest efforts to expand green hydrogen and artificial intelligence, its chairman said.

    CEEC is advancing integrated renewable energy, hydrogen, and storage solutions, and its latest green hydrogen projects are expected to play a key role in decarbonizing industrial sectors, Song Hailiang, Party secretary and chairman of CEEC, said at the ongoing Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference on Tuesday.

    “A major milestone will be reached in September, when the world’s largest integrated green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol project in Songyuan, Jilin province, is set to begin operations,” Song said.

    Green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol is a sustainable energy solution that combines the generation of green hydrogen with the synthesis of green ammonia and green methanol, and aims to create a cohesive system for producing essential chemicals and fuels with minimal environmental impact.

    Song said: “As the scale of renewable energy continues to grow, building a secure, systematic, efficient and intelligent new energy system has become a global challenge.

    “The company will bet big on renewable energy supply, consumption, infrastructure planning, technology, and policy mechanisms to address these issues.”

    According to Song, CEEC has signed major investment agreements exceeding 110 billion yuan ($15.3 billion) domestically and $11.8 billion abroad, with major energy projects spanning China, Egypt, Morocco, and Central Asia.

    The company’s domestic green hydrogen and ammonia aviation oil capacity has surpassed 1.35 million metric tons, while its green hydrogen and ammonia production capacity has reached 2.6 million tons overseas.

    In addition, Song said that CEEC is also pushing for a deep integration of AI and energy systems. “To develop AI, the ultimate bottleneck is electricity,” he said.

    In 2024, China’s data centers and 5G base stations are expected to consume 250 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, close to triple the annual output of the Three Gorges Dam.

    “With data processing and computing power needs surging, the company sees renewable energy and storage solutions as critical for sustaining AI-driven industries,” he emphasized.

    As part of its strategy, CEEC is developing digital-energy integrated infrastructure. Its east-data-west-computing project combines computing power, enabling better coordination between data centers and power grids.

    Further, Song said that the company will accelerate its international operations, expanding renewable energy projects and infrastructure investments across markets involved in the Belt and Road Initiative.

    The company, which operates in over 140 countries and regions, said that its overseas renewable energy contracts now account for nearly half of its total signed agreements.

    Song said the company remains committed to high-quality energy cooperation under the BRI, bringing Chinese technology, equipment and expertise to global markets.

    “Our goal is to move from simply ‘going global’ to deeply integrating into local markets,” he said, adding that CEEC will focus on long-term partnerships and sustainable infrastructure projects.
