    The digital transformation of public administration should increase the speed of data processing and routine procedures, improve the technologies of intra-departmental and interdepartmental interaction. This creates the conditions for the transition to more effective management based on data. Vyshka.Glavnoe talked about the features of the digitalization of government agencies with the head of the International Laboratory of Digital Transformation in Public Administration IGMU HSE Evgeny Styrin.

    — Tell us how the laboratory was created?

    — The idea of the laboratory crystallized into an application in 2020. But five years earlier, colleagues at the HSE Institute of Public Administration and Governance, who were actively involved in expert activities, consulting, and solving everyday management problems, came up with the idea of activating scientific work, including participating in high-level conferences, preparing articles for leading journals, and conducting in-depth research in the field of public administration and related disciplines. Public administration as a science is closely related to management, political science, and even psychology. There was a need to create a separate team of highly qualified scientists. We understood that additional research competencies in public administration and giving a scientific impetus to its study were needed.

    We discussed the idea with the director of the institute, Andrey Borisovich Zhulin. When the university announced a competition to create international laboratories (the project “HSE Centres of Excellence“), we already had a research plan. In 2021, our application became one of the winners.

    — What role does the laboratory’s leading scientist, Professor Eran Vigoda-Gadot, play in its work?

    — Since 2021, the laboratory has been operating as an international one. Due to the difficult international situation, its scientific directors have changed. In early 2023, I offered the position of academic director of the laboratory to Eran Vigoda-Gadot, a professor at the University of Haifa. He agreed, and we managed to establish sustainable cooperation. He is an outstanding scholar, the author of several monographs on public administration and publications in leading global journals. And for him, the proposal to develop the topic of digital transformation was a challenge. A lot of work needs to be done to understand practical developments, transfer them to academic research and publish them. In fact, we need to rethink how all concepts and ideas are affected in the academic discipline of public administration. This is partly being done by our team. But there is an ambition to create a map of comparisons of key concepts of public administration and their evolution under the influence of the potential of digital technologies over the past 10-15 years.

    — What are the priority areas of transformation? How does improving document flow, interaction within and between institutions affect the quality of management?

    — The state and its individual institutions have current tasks, and we were looking for a topic that had not been developed theoretically. When Professor Vigoda-Gadot and I were forming the research program for the laboratory, we found out that a number of issues, for example, the digitalization of government services and even the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies, had been studied from an academic point of view and it was necessary to look for our own scientific niche. And then we turned to a very interesting problem of digital governance based on emotions. From a technological point of view, a lot has been studied. But citizens can reject government products due to emotional or psychophysiological rejection, an inconvenient human-computer interface, difficulties in using online services or, for example, mistrust of digital identification and other digital solutions of the state. We decided to look at the process of digital transformation from the point of view of citizens’ perception. There was a need to develop and understand the phenomenon of citizens’ digital trust in the state.

    At the same time, it was important for the laboratory to realize its mission of adequate implementation of state digital solutions, by which we mean compliance with public and civil values, principles of ethics. We want to expand and develop theories of perception and adaptation of digital technologies by citizens, taking into account the dimensions of digital trust and the emotional component. Now this is the main focus of the academic part of our research.

    — Doesn’t it happen that digitalization of processes leads to duplication of paper documents in electronic form and an increase in the office workload (which doctors and teachers have complained about)? Can this be avoided?

    — We believe that the accumulated experience reflects a fairly high level of digital maturity of government bodies, the ability to create and scale digital solutions. But what the citizen wants has not been fully studied. This is largely due to the technological optimism of digital solution manufacturers on the part of the state, they are confident that their technologies will be in demand by citizens.

    We see that this is not always the case. We are developing models of citizens’ perception of digital transformation, what external and value factors influence it, which takes time to create a foundation, if you will, a new theory of digital emotional management. A series of experiments and studies on this issue are being conducted, in practice, how ordinary citizens perceive and adapt various digital solutions for themselves is being studied.

    – For example?

    — In one of the experiments, we show respondents videos about digital transformation (DT), presenting it in a positive, negative and neutral way, and then ask questions about the perception of DT. We found out during the experiments that if you first evoke negative emotions, then the subsequent perception of digital solutions will be even more negative for a long period, even if the citizen successfully used their results.

    If you show the positive role of technology to the subject, the answer will also be positive, but the positive message evokes a relatively weak response compared to the negative one. This seems obvious, but no one has yet conducted such research specifically in the context of public administration. We did this and launched a cross-cultural comparative study in six countries: the United States, Germany, Poland, Israel, the United Kingdom and Russia.

    — Please name the key projects.

    — The study of emotional state digital governance is a key project that is divided into several areas. It is very important for us, I have given examples of the studies above.

    We believe that this is an area where we can say a new word in science. We hope that taking this factor into account by government bodies will allow for more accurate and personalized creation of digital solutions, taking into account the emotional characteristics of a person, increasing their demand and thereby increasing the efficiency of using budget funds for their development.

    Separate areas are the impact of digital platforms on the labor market and state regulation of communication and expression of will on platforms. This topic is studied by senior research fellow Evgeny Diskin. We also study the role of the personality of managers – vice-mayors, vice-governors, heads of departments – in the pace and direction of transformation (leading research fellow Anna Sanina, research fellow Aisylu Atayeva).

    — What is the laboratory’s work aimed at, when electronic interaction between residents of most cities and various government agencies is already, at first glance, well established?

    — We are investigating how digitalization differs from digitalization and digital transformation. The first involves converting paper documents into an electronic image. It does not yet allow a machine to recognize it. This is the first step, the zero stage for accumulating data in digital form, without it it is difficult to engage in digitalization of management.

    Then the process affects the internal processes of public administration, its interaction with citizens and business. It became clear that it was easier to organize communication when the state front office became electronic, through it it became possible to make requests, send data, and changes began. Electronic document flow appeared, which improved control over the passage of documents, which does not mean the cancellation of parallel circulation of paper documents, the authorities began to collect the first data in digital form in machine-readable formats.

    Digitalization continues, with its different stages occurring in parallel.

    — What is digital transformation then?

    — This is management based on data accumulated during the digitalization stage, using the digital footprint and profile of a citizen acting in different roles: taxpayer, patient, student or recipient of social benefits. Its success depends on how effectively it is possible to form predictive and recommendation models that use data about citizens to create new, higher quality services.

    But digital transformation is innovation and reform in the system of government bodies, often quite abrupt, and the most difficult thing to change is a person in different positions: an official, an elected representative, etc. It is very difficult to form a digital culture, its correct perception by employees, this turned out to be not obvious for the teams themselves within the government bodies, changes require effort and understandable technology.

    — Can you explain its benefits using a specific example?

    — For example, a person feels ill on the street. If there is a digital patient card, the ambulance that arrives on call will quickly understand what could have happened to him, provide him with effective assistance, which will help to avoid serious harm to health and, possibly, save a life. But this requires complete and consistent data, and well protected from fraudsters.

    The state should create not only convenient services, but also, taking into account the needs of citizens, convenient products that accompany different periods of their lives. Then it will be possible to achieve high personalization of the consideration of citizens’ needs and human attitude towards them.

    — What is it? How does personalization for citizens differ from customer-centricity in business?

    — This means that a person does not need to contact the state with a request; it, knowing his needs, will offer him the services he needs. For example, it will offer him a medical examination. And in difficult times — options for convenient options in ensuring health, social well-being, developing skills in the labor market, etc. This is a proactive approach, possible only thanks to digital transformation and high-quality data on the state side.

    — How do you see the practical application of the laboratory’s research?

    — Another of our missions, as we see it, is to form a pool of knowledge and competencies that are in demand by civil servants, so that they, for example, understand how to competently collect data, check and analyze it, form channels for exchanging information for quick interaction between different departments and agencies as a whole. That is, the key task of digital transformation for government agencies is to create a complete, cleaned, verified and balanced set of depersonalized data and exchange it safely.

    To do this, it is necessary to modernize the authorities themselves, change the attitude of civil servants to working with data, as well as improve the interfaces for interaction with citizens and businesses and, most importantly, monitor new technologies, their potential and emerging new digital solutions. At a certain stage, they will have to adapt and include the capabilities of machine learning and AI technologies in everyday activities. At the same time, it is necessary to protect the rights of citizens, the inviolability of their personal information, thereby forming a system of digital trust between the digital contour of the state and citizens.

    We are not only engaged in academic activities; we have a need to implement our ideas and developments in practice in the daily activities of government bodies.

    We are running a project on digital maturity of government bodies using the example of the Moscow City Control Complex. It includes five executive bodies engaged in different types of control in the city. We have implemented a digital maturity model that allows us to determine the current level of technology, the readiness of employees to use it, and also to outline roadmaps, according to which the Control Complex can solve the tasks of the digital control, where we highlight strategic management, personnel and process management, development of models and data, ensuring security and creating digital products.

    The project combines scientific and practical tasks, and now the control bodies have agreed with the assessments of digital maturity and are showing a willingness to change independently.

    — How different is the level of development of digital technologies in public administration in the capital and the regions?

    — We are happy with our interaction with Moscow, but it is a well-off, rich region with high-quality infrastructure and management. Many regions cannot afford large projects. They do not have the resources and competencies of civil servants to formulate the goals of future changes, as well as large IT companies with a sufficient number of qualified employees, that is, a developed IT industry.

    It is also important to understand that digital transformation is not only an expensive process, but also a complex one. You can spend a lot of money and end up with unclaimed digital products.

    Currently, federal authorities are actively promoting a platform approach, whereby regions can use ready-made digital platform solutions and connect to them, introducing components that take into account local specifics.

    Achieving digital maturity means, among other things, how successfully it will be possible to scale solutions developed at the federal level and in leading regions to the rest of Russia. Regions have different potential, digital solutions and the quality of human resources are different, so it is impossible to achieve the same results everywhere in the same amount of time.

    — What other applied projects could you name?

    — Together with Laboratory of human-centeredness and leadership practices HSE, we assessed the human-centricity of bank chatbots by order of the Bank of Russia. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation is concerned about protecting the rights and comfort of citizens as consumers in communication with a chatbot. We studied what properties banking solutions should have for this, and we are proud that the result was sent to all employees of the Bank of Russia, including regional offices.

    We are also developing a system for evaluating government chatbots for convenience and functionality, and we would like to add an emotional component to it – how citizens perceive this convenience, so that digital products are more adapted to their needs.

    — How do you use the results of your research activities in your academic work?

    — Part of the laboratory’s mission is to prepare training courses. We turn academic research into courses, complementing them, and then offer the courses to students and other listeners. This is what Yaroslav Ivanovich Kuzminov talks about — when research helps education and creates new partnerships. The laboratory staff teaches a university-wide elective course on the digital transformation of public administration. We are currently developing a business game for civil servants related to the specifics of working during the digital transformation. We will continue to form these courses and invest in continuing education programs to provide access to everyone — students, specialists improving their qualifications, and especially civil servants: how to adapt technologies, in particular AI, how to implement them so that they are convenient for all users.

    In 2023, we became the methodologists of a unique program for civil servants in African countries, carried out in collaboration with Center for African Studies HSE University. We developed the program content aimed at transferring Russian experience of digital transformation, supported the training of African students. They received DPO certificates in English.

    — What new ideas did you come up with during the implementation of the project?Mirror Laboratories“, jointly with Pskov State University?

    — We studied the geography of local communities, how municipal centers and communities of people in places of residence differ, how they perceive digital solutions and digital transformation, how residents of cities and small towns relate to them.

    — Can we talk about some kind of digital trust?

    — Yes, this is another direction of our research. We are thinking of scaling the project, determining the level of digital trust in the regions and finding out the reasons for the differences. It is important to determine them and understand what influences the different levels of digital trust in neighboring regions or even within the same territory.

    For example, the state has a digital solution, and we need to understand why people do not use it and what motivates citizens to come to the portals of departments. Or those registered on “Gosuslugi” use only part of the opportunities. It is not about technology. People often remember their previous, often even pre-digital experience of interaction with the state, often unsuccessful and unpleasant, and we need to work with citizens so that they use digital solutions more actively, trust them.

    The state should continue to make efforts to ensure that digital services are significantly more convenient than offline services. For example, a super service for applicants when applying to universities on the federal portal of state services, when the applicant adds the Unified State Exam scores, certificate and other documents to the application. This is so convenient that refusing to use the super service puts the citizen in a clearly disadvantageous situation in relation to those who use it.

    But to create such a super service, federal agencies had to organize data exchange, verify applicants’ statuses, and negotiate with universities about their connection to the service and participation in its work.

    — Can we say that some digital government projects did not take off in the provinces? Why?

    — In the Pskov region, we studied, among other things, how citizens use technologies, taking into account the distribution and geographical autonomy of individual districts and municipalities, and tried to understand the differences on the scale of the region. Wherever the federal center offers a ready-made platform solution, the regions receive an interface and design, technological logic and a mechanism for implementing government services, supplement them with their own data and rules, adjust them taking into account the specifics of regional legislation, and the picture in the regions differs.

    In some of them, we see a high level of mistrust in digital solutions, an irrational fear of being “counted”, “chipped”. We have to study this. Sometimes, people who do not want to accept digital products need to be offered unusual solutions and ways of communication. We plan to make a sample and a survey using our methodology and study interregional differences in the context of digital trust.

    — How is your interaction with the university’s departments and campuses organized?

    — We are at least a dual-campus lab: we have employees in Moscow and St. Petersburg. We also collaborated with Professor Svetlana Golovanova from the campus HSE University in Nizhny Novgorod. Therefore, we have a lot of online interaction, including holding international conferences, which does not exclude face-to-face events.

    We are a highly interdisciplinary unit, since public administration involves a combination of many sciences, so we actively interact with Institute of Cognitive Neurosciences, With Faculty of Social Sciences in general. We teach, recruit students, and since the current academic year, we have been working closely with Scientific and educational laboratory of political and psychological research under the leadership of Olga Gulevich. We conduct seminars with ISSEK, we cooperate with colleagues from Institute of Education HSE University. We are open to broad cooperation.

    — How is interaction with other universities developing?

    — We are developing partnerships with the Faculty of Public Administration of Lomonosov Moscow State University (they participate in our conferences), with the Baltic Federal University named after I. M. Kant, ITMO University, and also with St. Petersburg State University.

    — Which foreign universities do you cooperate with?

    — We had close contacts with the Center for Management Technologies at the University of Arizona. I hope they will be unfrozen in the near future. Cooperation with China is currently actively developing, in particular with the School of Public Administration at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan. There is a common research program, we have applied for joint grants and hope for success with the City University of Hong Kong.

    Of course, we must mention the University of Haifa. When Professor Eran Vigoda-Gadot became the academic director, we prepared and extended a comprehensive cooperation program. It continues even under the current conditions.

    Finally, in Brazil, we collaborate with a highly ranked university, the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV), as well as with the INSPER Institute, which is more of an expert than a scientific center, as well as with universities and expert centers in Kazakhstan and Indonesia. This is important for us to get inside information from experts on how digitalization is happening in other countries.

    — The large volume of data accumulated by the state creates the problem of its safety.

    — Fraud also occurred in the paper, “tube” world. Much data became available even before measures were taken to combat its leaks. We must collectively — the state, business and the scientific community — try to ensure that less new data leaks. Often the weak link is people, not a low level of technological protection. Even employees of large companies and banks used primitive passwords, and sometimes pasted them near their workplaces to the delight of fraudsters and hackers. Other reasons are a passion for enrichment, a lack of understanding of digital hygiene, and inattention. Therefore, we need to work with people, and from childhood, so that they know that hackers and fraud methods are improving and there are no guarantees against hacking. We must come to terms with this and find benefits in using digital tools, including receiving personalized services from the state at the expense of their data, and in a proactive mode.

    — How would you formulate the current goals of the laboratory?

    — We are focused on ensuring that the development of technologies and digital transformation in the public administration system are combined with their humanitarian, scientific and ethical understanding, protection of citizens’ rights and personal information.

  • MIL-OSI: Elementium awarded $100,000 SuperBoost Grant to scale production of next-generation battery electrolytes

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BINGHAMTON, N.Y., July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Elementium, an energy storage startup developing novel battery electrolytes compatible with next-generation lithium-ion chemistries, has been awarded a $100,000 SuperBoost grant from the National Science Foundation Energy Storage Engine in Upstate New York. The funding will enable Elementium to advance the scale-up of its proprietary non-carbonate electrolyte formulations in collaboration with Corning Inc., a world-leading innovator in glass, ceramic and materials science.

    The collaboration will help Elementium transition from lab-scale synthesis to pilot-scale production using Corning’s Advanced-Flow™ Reactor (AFR) technology, which helps create faster and inherently safer reactions for battery materials.

    Elementium’s proprietary electrolyte platform is designed to address key challenges faced by conventional carbonate-based systems, including limited voltage stability, flammability, and electrochemical degradation. The company’s formulations are engineered to be intrinsically compatible with a wide range of advanced cathode and anode materials, including silicon, lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) and nickel manganese cobalt (NMC). This platform unlocks improved cycle life, faster charge rates and enhanced safety performance. With more than 30 customer validation projects underway — several of which are with Fortune 500 manufacturers — Elementium is now focused on commercial readiness to meet rising demand.

    “This funding accelerates our ability to scale production of our next-generation electrolytes to meet the growing near-term demand from our U.S. customers,” said Matthew Dawson, Ph.D., CEO of Elementium. “Working with Corning’s world-class team and AFR technology will allow us to demonstrate cost-effective synthesis at scale and lay the foundation for inherently safer domestic manufacturing of longer-lasting, higher-performing battery chemistries.”

    SuperBoost is a signature initiative of the Energy Storage Engine, which supports early-stage companies in rapidly advancing promising energy storage technologies from proof-of-concept to commercial readiness.

  • MIL-OSI: ESET Research: Russia’s Gamaredon APT group unleashed spearphishing campaigns against Ukraine with an evolved toolset

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • In 2024, Gamaredon refocused exclusively on targeting Ukrainian governmental institutions.
    • The group significantly increased the scale and frequency of spearphishing campaigns, employing new delivery methods.
    • Gamaredon introduced six new malware tools, leveraging PowerShell and VBScript, designed primarily for stealth, persistence, and lateral movement.
    • Gamaredon operators managed to hide almost their entire C&C infrastructure behind Cloudflare tunnels.
    • Gamaredon increasingly relied on third-party services (Telegram, Telegraph, Cloudflare, Dropbox) to protect its C&C infrastructure.

    BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ESET Research has released a white paper about Gamaredon’s updated cyberespionage toolset, new stealth-focused techniques, and aggressive spearphishing operations observed across the previous year. Gamaredon, attributed by the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) to the 18th Center of Information Security of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), has targeted Ukrainian governmental institutions since at least 2013. In 2024, Gamaredon exclusively attacked Ukrainian institutions. ESET’s latest research shows that the group remains highly active, consistently targeting Ukraine, but has notably adapted its tactics and tools. The group’s objective is cyberespionage aligned with Russian geopolitical interests. Last year, the group significantly increased the scale and frequency of spearphishing campaigns, employing new delivery methods, and one attack payload was used solely to spread Russian propaganda.

    Gamaredon’s spearphishing activities significantly intensified during the second half of 2024. Campaigns typically lasted one to five consecutive days, with emails containing malicious archives (RAR, ZIP, 7z) or XHTML files employing HTML smuggling techniques. These files delivered malicious HTA or LNK files that executed embedded VBScript downloaders, such as PteroSand. In October 2024, ESET observed a rare case where spearphishing emails included malicious hyperlinks instead of attachments – a deviation from Gamaredon’s usual tactics. Furthermore, Gamaredon introduced another novel technique: using malicious LNK files to execute PowerShell commands directly from Cloudflare-generated domains, bypassing some traditional detection mechanisms.

    Gamaredon’s toolset underwent several notable updates. While fewer new tools were introduced, substantial resources went into updating and improving existing tools. New tools were designed primarily for stealth, persistence, and lateral movement. Existing tools received major upgrades, including enhanced obfuscation, improved stealth tactics, and sophisticated methods for lateral movement and data exfiltration.

    “A particularly intriguing finding was the discovery in July 2024 of a unique ad hoc VBScript payload, delivered by Gamaredon downloaders. This payload had no espionage functionality; rather, its sole purpose was to automatically open a Telegram propaganda channel named Guardians of Odessa, which spreads pro-Russian messaging targeting the Odessa region,” says ESET researcher Zoltán Rusnák, who tracks Gamaredon’s activities.

    Additionally, throughout 2024, Gamaredon showed persistent dedication to evading network-based defenses. The group continued, albeit at a reduced scale, to leverage fast-flux DNS techniques, frequently rotating IP addresses behind its domains. Gamaredon increasingly relied on third-party services such as Telegram, Telegraph, Codeberg, Dropbox, and Cloudflare tunnels to obfuscate and dynamically distribute its C&C infrastructure.

    “Despite observable capacity limitations and abandoning older tools, Gamaredon remains a significant threat actor due to its continuous innovation, aggressive spearphishing campaigns, and persistent efforts to evade detections. As long as the Russia’s war against Ukraine continues, we anticipate that Gamaredon will persist in evolving its tactics and intensify its cyberespionage operations against Ukrainian institutions,” concludes Rusnák.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: 2 July 2025 Accelerating cervical cancer elimination through HPV Vaccination in Nepal

    Source: World Health Organisation

    Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in Nepal, with an estimated 4 women dying each day. Yet, these deaths are preventable. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is a proven, safe and effective intervention to protect women and girls.

    To advance this life-saving effort, on World Cancer Day, 4 February 2025, Nepal took a monumental step toward cervical cancer elimination by launching a nationwide HPV vaccination campaign. This initiative aligns with Nepal’s commitment to the Global Strategy for the Elimination of Cervical Cancer, which aims to vaccinate 90% of girls by age 15.

    Nepal’s journey began nearly a decade ago with an HPV demonstration project in Chitwan and Kaski districts. The experience provided valuable insights into effectively delivering vaccines to adolescent girls.

    Accelerating change using the Delivery for Impact (DFI) approach

    In 2023, the WHO country office in Nepal became one of the early adopters of WHO’s Delivery for Impact approach, aimed at driving progress on priority health outcomes, including mobilizing action towards eliminating cervical cancer. The country team embarked on a Delivery Sprint, a time-bound, cohort-based initiative designed to accelerate measurable impact in health priority areas. Over 100 days, a multidisciplinary team within WHO Nepal, including experts in vaccination, noncommunicable diseases, health systems strengthening and planning – used the DFI approach to identify bottlenecks, set measurable targets and coordinate action. The impact cycle (Fig. 1) provided a clear framework to advance implementation.

    Figure 1: Impact cycle; Source: Implementation playbook, deliverying impact for health (adapted from the ‘Evidence Ecosystem for Impact Framework’ in Evidence, policy, impact: WHO guide for evidence-informed decision-making (2021).

    A comprehensive situational analysis and stakeholder engagement process led to the development of a robust Theory of Change, defining short- medium-, and long-term outcomes via identified solutions and WHO’s actions.

    Dr Binod Prasad Gupta, the focal point for the delivery sprint, explained how the Theory of Change served as the foundation to translate ambition into action.

    “The Theory of Change served as our strategic compass. It helped to bring national stakeholders together around a common goal and map the steps needed, from addressing vaccine hesitancy and ensuring supply chain readiness, from community trust-building to last-mile delivery – we turned a national plan into life-saving vaccinations for 1.4 million girls. By identifying key challenges and bottlenecks, it turned big ideas into real, coordinated action. That’s how the Delivery for Impact made a difference on the ground.”

    Dr Binod Prasad Gupta, WCO Nepal Focal Point, Delivery for Impact, 100 days of the Delivery Sprint

    GOAL: Cervical Cancer Eliminated in Nepal
    • Human resources (staff, resource persons/experts, trainers)
    • Funds (capacity development activities, guidelines/SOPs/strategies development, workshops)
    • Technical support (National, Regional and Global)
    • Advocacy, policy dialogue, resource mobilization
    • Strong organizations norms, collaboration & commitments
    • HPV vaccine introduction in the National Immunization program of Nepal
    • Development of proposals, policies and guidelines
    • Conduct capacity building training and orientation to health workers
    • Enhance R&D to document impact of HPV vaccine effectiveness in the country
    • Advocacy and mobilization of champions to raise awareness
    • Collaboration and partnership among stakeholders at all levels of resource mobilization, service execution and monitoring
    • HPV vaccine introduced in the EPI program of Nepal
    • National & sub-national guidelines/SOPs/standard/plans/mechanisms developed and implemented
    • Champions mobilized for raising awareness
    • Short-term outcome: 90% of the girls by aged 10–14 years vaccinated with HPV vaccine within 2 years of its introduction
    • Long-term outcome: Decreased morbidity and mortality attributed to cervical cancer

    In the process, the team committed to vaccinating 90% of the target group within two years, aiming to reduce cervical cancer-related morbidity and mortality over time.

    Achieving Remarkable Results

    From 4 to 18 February 2025, the HPV vaccination campaign targeted 1.56 million schoolgirls from grades 6 to 10, and out-of-school girls aged 10 to 14 years. Within two weeks, more than 1.46 million girls were vaccinated, covering an impressive 94% of the target group, surpassing the initial two-year target of 90%. WHO continues to work with the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) to reach the remaining 6%.

    “Vaccinating 1.4 million girls in just two weeks is a powerful testament to the Ministry of Health and Population’s leadership and commitment. This milestone reflects how the delivery action plan drives results through strong coordination and political will,”said Dr Balwinder Singh, Team Lead, Immunization Preventable Diseases (IPD) programme at WHO Nepal.

    This achievement builds on years of collaboration between WHO, the MoHP and development partners. Since the 2016/2017 HPV demonstration programme, WHO has been a dependable partner – supporting advocacy, planning, implementation, monitoring, and partner coordination, including applying for Gavi funding to ensure the successful national rollout of HPV vaccines.

    “WHO commends the Government of Nepal for this landmark achievement and remains committed to supporting sustained efforts in vaccination, screening, and treatment to eliminate cervical cancer.”

    Dr Rajesh Sambhajirao Pandav, WHO Representative to Nepal.

    Sustaining change

    WHO will continue working with the Government of Nepal to foster a culture of impact by regularly monitoring progress, documenting lessons and making timely adjustments. These efforts aim to sustain momentum and achieve the long-term goal of eliminating cervical cancer in Nepal.

  • MIL-OSI: Surveillance & Monitoring Expected to be Largest Revenue Opportunity for Drone as a Service (DaaS) Market Through 2030

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALM BEACH, Fla., July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FN Media Group News Commentary – The drone surveying market is expected to continue to sustain and continue to gain momentum due to increasing demand for aerial intelligence and high-precision mapping across major sectors such as agriculture, mining, construction, and environmental monitoring. A report from Fact.MR analysis indicates that the industry will be valued at USD 1.97 billion in 2025 and will grow to USD 11.49 billion by 2035, at a strong CAGR of 19.3% during the period. The report said: “Technological improvements in LiDAR, thermal imaging, and real-time stream of data over the past three years have dramatically improved safety and efficiency in drone surveying. Drones are increasingly being employed by governments and institutions for commercial use as they are safe, accurate, and cost-effective. Fact.MR believes that support from the authorities, especially in Europe and North America, is fueling commercial usage with better codes in the law. The increasing demand for high-precision geospatial intelligence is one of the key drivers of the adoption of drone surveying. Fact.MR research is of the view that the mining, agriculture, oil & gas, and infrastructure sectors increasingly depend on drones to maximize planning, minimize human risk, and digitize high-resolution terrain information with cost-efficient scalability across vast and inaccessible areas. The enormous digital revolution in the industrial sectors continues to accelerate demand. Combining drones with AI analytics, GIS platforms, and cloud systems enables real-time processing and decision-making. Fact. MR believes that the combination of drone technology with automation and IoT is revolutionizing conventional surveying processes into dynamic data-driven ecosystems.”   Active Companies in the markets today include ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS), Trimble Inc. (NASDAQ: TRMB), NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN).

    Fact.MR continued: “The drone surveying industry is segmented by survey type into land survey, property survey, rail survey, and infrastructure survey. By end-use industry, it is categorized into energy, construction, transportation & warehouse, agriculture, mining, oil & gas extraction, public administration, and real estate & industrial plant. Regionally, the industry spans North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa. IT concluded: “During the period 2025 to 2035, the infrastructure survey will be the most remunerative survey type segment, driven by the worldwide boom in urbanization, smart city programs, and projects for modernizing public infrastructure. Due to this increasing dependence and favorable regulatory changes across UAV use in civil infrastructure, the infrastructure survey segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.6% from 2025 to 2035, ahead of the industry average of 19.3%.”

    ZenaTech (NASDAQ:ZENA) Expands Drone as a Service (DaaS) to California with Offer to Acquire an Engineering and Surveying Firm, Tapping into Precision Agriculture and Viticulture Market – ZenaTech, Inc. (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), and enterprise SaaS, has signed an offer to acquire a California-based civil engineering and land surveying firm with a well established history of operations. This marks ZenaTech’s first proposed transaction in the US West Coast or Southwest region, creating a strategic entry point into California ─ a high-value market for drone-based precision agriculture due to a massive agriculture economy, crop diversity, labor and water challenges, and an openness to innovation.

    With a commercial, construction and sustainability solution customer base and a deep regional presence, the proposed acquisition positions ZenaTech to scale its Drone as a Service or DaaS survey operations. It also provides significant opportunity to expand into California’s wine and agriculture sectors using advanced drone capabilities including aerial imaging, precision spraying, irrigation analytics, and wildfire detection and monitoring in high-risk areas.

    “This proposed acquisition is more than just our first Southwest region location — it’s a strategic foothold into a high-value, high-growth state for precision agriculture,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO of ZenaTech. “The firm is a natural fit to help execute our growth strategy for crop health monitoring and precision spraying to serve viticulture, large estates, and commercial farming operations across California.”

    With the global agricultural drone market projected to reach USD 10.3 billion by 2030, driven by rising demand for precision technologies in farming, California stands out as a key growth region as well as being home to nearly 90% of all US vineyard acreage. Considering California’s mounting climate and agricultural challenges, ZenaTech’s AI-powered autonomous drone solutions offer timely, scalable innovation that serves the needs of commercial enterprises, cooperatives, agriculture consultants, and public sector stakeholders.

    ZenaTech’s Drone as a Service (DaaS) business model offers both business and government customers reduced costs and convenience to utilize drones to streamline legacy processes and manual tasks such as inspections, surveying, maintenance, precision agriculture and inventory management ─ there is no need to purchase drone hardware and software, find a drone pilot, manage maintenance and operation, or acquire regulatory approvals. The model also offers scalability to use more often or less often based on business needs and utilizes ZenaDrone’s multifunction AI autonomous drones.

    The company has closed six acquisitions across the US to date as part of its DaaS business model and strategy and has announced it plans to complete approximately 20 more in the next 12 months. Continued… Read this full release by visiting: https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-zena/

  • MIL-OSI: Rate’s Jennifer Beeston Named 2025 HousingWire Woman of Influence

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CHICAGO, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rate, a leading fintech company, today announced that Jennifer Beeston, EVP of National Sales, has been named a 2025 Woman of Influence by HousingWire. Now in its 16th year, the Women of Influence program honors 100 women across mortgage, real estate, and fintech who are making a measurable impact on their organizations and the broader housing economy.

    “The Women of Influence award highlights the leaders whose work is actively shaping the future of housing, something HousingWire has been committed to recognizing since the program launched 16 years ago,” said Clayton Collins, CEO of HW Media. “HousingWire Women of Influence honorees are leading meaningful progress across the housing economy, with influence spanning mortgage, real estate, and the entire homeownership experience. They’re driving real results at some of the industry’s most impactful organizations.”

    A mortgage loan officer for 18 years, Beeston consistently ranks among the top purchase loan officers in the country. She is the first woman to be named the #1 VA loan originator by Scotsman Guide and currently holds the top spot for VA purchase loan originations nationwide for the second consecutive year.

    Beeston is passionate about financial education. “Every American should understand the basics of finance, including how to buy a house. Homeownership is the cornerstone of wealth creation in America. I educate people on YouTube so that anyone with an interest has access to easy-to-understand information that can help them achieve their financial goals.”

    Media frequently seeks her out for her insights at the intersection of financial education and innovation, including the entry of cryptocurrency into the mortgage lending conversation. On the topic, Beeston notes:

    “As the financial landscape evolves, it’s important for lending to keep pace. Allowing borrowers to count cryptocurrency toward their reserve requirements is a smart, forward-looking move, as long as it’s done responsibly. Many financially savvy clients are building wealth in digital assets, and they shouldn’t have to liquidate just to qualify for a home. We need to meet people where they are while maintaining sensible guardrails.” For more on this topic from Beeston, please listen to this recent interview with Host Josh Lipton on Yahoo Finance.

    As she serves customers nationwide, she combines Rate technology and diverse loan programs with a mission-driven approach. Her platform has earned the trust of over 100,000 YouTube subscribers and garnered national recognition as a trusted expert from prominent outlets, including NewsNation, Yahoo Finance, Fox, Newsweek, and Fortune.

    “Jennifer is the definition of a mission-driven leader,” said Shant Banosian, President of Rate. “She brings passion, intelligence, and heart to everything she does, and the impact she’s made on our business, our team, and the industry at large is nothing short of extraordinary. We’re incredibly proud to see her recognized by HousingWire as a Woman of Influence.”

    In addition to being a top producer, Beeston is the creator of NoStressVA.com, a free online course designed to help veterans and industry professionals better understand and navigate the VA home loan benefit. Her advocacy work combats misinformation and empowers borrowers to make informed decisions—an approach that aligns closely with Rate’s commitment to transparency and consumer-first lending.

    She is also the author of Brainhacked: How Big Tech Trains You to Spend and How to Fight Back, a guide to staying true to your financial goals in the modern era of “click, click, buy.”

    Beeston is a mentor and cultural force within Rate. Her consumer advocacy has generated meaningful brand equity, and inspired colleagues across the organization. Through her voice, content, and leadership, she has become one of the most trusted names in lending.

    “It’s an honor to be named among this year’s Women of Influence,” said Beeston. “The mortgage industry is transforming at a record pace. From new and exciting developments in AI to potential crypto integration, conscious and thoughtful leadership is crucial in ensuring we act in the best interest of our clients and enhance their experience and options for homeownership. This group represents some of the most inspiring, forward-thinking leaders in housing today. I’m proud to stand alongside those who are reimagining how we serve Americans, build trust, and expand access to homeownership. Together, we’re helping shape a more transparent future for the industry.”

    HousingWire’s editorial team selected winners and a panel of industry professionals based on their professional accomplishments, industry contributions, community involvement, and overall influence. The 2025 list reflects the depth and diversity of talent that will lead housing into the future.

  • MIL-OSI: IoTeX announces AI Expansion as the open ecosystem for Physical Intelligence

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN FRANCISCO, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — IoTeX, the decentralized network bridging the physical and digital worlds, today announced a significant expansion into artificial intelligence. This vision introduces a unified ecosystem for Physical AI, a new category of intelligence powered by real-world data from machines, devices, and decentralized infrastructure.

    The physical world is AI’s next frontier

    As AI systems transition from digital environments into real-world applications, their effectiveness hinges on access to live, trustworthy data from their physical surroundings. While today’s AI models boast impressive capabilities, they operate in abstraction—unable to reliably perceive or react to real-time changes in the world.

    “IoTeX enables a new class of AI that’s grounded in reality,” said Raullen Chai, Co-Founder and CEO of IoTeX. “Real-world data is the missing link in today’s AI stack. Our expansion unlocks a continuously evolving layer of intelligence, open to anyone who wants to contribute, build, or deploy.”

    By creating a shared infrastructure where machines and AI agents can coordinate via verified, real-time data, IoTeX transforms decentralized networks into a foundation for truly responsive, real-world AI systems.

    Building the open ecosystem for physical intelligence

    Since its founding in 2017, IoTeX has pioneered technologies to bridge physical devices with blockchain networks. These include on-chain machine registration, real-world verification via zero-knowledge proofs, and the advancement of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs). The company has long held the belief that machines, not just humans, would become core participants in Web3 ecosystems.

    This latest AI expansion marks the next evolution of that vision: linking the growing demand from AI developers for real-time, verifiable data with the global supply of connected devices and DePIN participants already living on IoTeX.

    IoTeX’s AI infrastructure is powered by four key components:

    • IoTeX Layer 1 Blockchain: Secure, fast coordination across physical networks.
    • ioID Protocol: A decentralized identity layer for authenticating machines and agents.
    • Quicksilver: A novel AI framework that transforms raw machine signals into structured, real-time data AI can reason over.
    • IOTX Token: The backbone of economic alignment, used for governance, incentives, and ecosystem utility.

    These building blocks converge in a new technical primitive at the center of IoTeX’s AI architecture: Realms.

    Realms: Living, evolving knowledge bases for real-world intelligence

    At the core of IoTeX’s AI expansion is the introduction of Realms– the evolving domain-specific knowledge bases of real-time, real world data that continuously synthesize insights from machines, people, and sensors to generate actionable intelligence in sectors like mobility, health, energy, and robotics.

    Realms serve two primary purposes:

    1. Delivering real-time situational awareness for AI agents.
    2. Providing dynamic environments for training the next generation of Physical AI models.

    Each Realm enables coordination among data producers, machine networks, and AI developers. As new data flows into a Realm from connected devices and DePIN nodes, its intelligence becomes more precise, adaptive, and valuable. In turn, Realms evolve into living knowledge bases that scale with participation.

    “We’re building dynamic economies of intelligence,” said Jing Sun, Co-Founder of IoTeX. “These aren’t static datasets. They’re active environments where machines, people, and AI collaborate to generate continuously evolving knowledge.”

    Together, these Realms form a global constellation of verified environments where physical intelligence becomes a scalable and monetizable resource and commodity for real-world AI applications.

    Collective intelligence in action

    With the introduction of Realms and Quicksilver, AI agents can now access live, authenticated data on demand, enabling safer decisions, more accurate predictions, and deeper alignment with physical outcomes. This brings AI out of isolation and into interactive, real-time engagement with the world.

    The expansion represents a pivotal milestone for IoTeX. It unites years of foundational work in trusted machine networks, decentralized identity, and tokenized coordination into a comprehensive platform purpose-built for AI.

    This is the world’s first open ecosystem for Physical Intelligence, where machines, data, and intelligent systems collaborate in real time to serve human needs.

    What’s next

    IoTeX’s Open Ecosystem will enable everyday people to become a stakeholder in the Physical AI revolution. IoTeX will soon release a full vision paper detailing the technical architecture, governance design, and roadmap behind Realms, Quicksilver, and the broader Physical Intelligence Ecosystem.

    With this launch, IoTeX positions itself at the forefront of real-world AI infrastructure, championing a future where intelligence is no longer abstract, but grounded in the environments it serves.

Effective augmentation can lead to a reduction in the time required to perform certain tasks, such as managing false positives. It can also lead to other program benefits, such as reducing the skill sets required to perform activities, reducing errors and increasing the overall performance of SOC operations.”

    “Since our launch earlier this year, we have quickly moved to the forefront of the AI SOC category,” said Tom Findling, CEO and co-founder of Conifers. “We believe that this recognition, along with several other Gartner report inclusions this year, is further evidence of how Conifers is helping SecOps teams quickly and accurately solve multi-tier security challenges to reduce risk for enterprises and MSSPs.”

    Union Minister of Steel, Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises HD Kumaraswamy inaugurated the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) representative office in Dubai, marking another significant milestone in strengthening bilateral relations between India and the UAE while creating new business opportunities for India’s largest steel producer. The office is located at Lake Central, Business Bay, Dubai.

    The event witnessed the presence of several high-ranking officials, including Consul General of India to Dubai Satish Kumar Sivan, SAIL Chairman and Managing Director Amarendu Prakash, the Joint Secretary from the Ministry of Steel, senior representatives from the Consulate General of India, CMD of NMDC, and senior officers from SAIL, NMDC, and MECON.

    Speaking at the inauguration, Minister Kumaraswamy emphasized the strategic importance of the initiative, stating, “By establishing three PSU units from India – SAIL, MECON, and NMDC – this relationship is going to be strengthened. The three offices that we inaugurated over the last two days represent our commitment to strengthen our CPSEs using the Prime Minister’s strong relationship with the UAE.”

    “The atmosphere here is very conducive for business, and very good opportunities exist, particularly for extending our manufacturing capabilities and exporting the materials we produce in India to the region in a big way. That is the main objective. Our intention in establishing all three offices here is the beginning of a new chapter to develop both countries’ relationship further. I particularly thank the Indian missions in the UAE – the Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate in Dubai , for their support.”, he added.

    SAIL, one of India’s largest steel makers with an annual crude steel production capacity of more than 20 million tonnes, has established the representative office in Dubai to tap into the significant potential that the Middle East and North Africa region offers for steel business. Dubai’s strategic position as a gateway to the MENA region makes it an ideal location for SAIL to expand its global presence, particularly given the conducive business environment and government support that has driven steady regional growth in recent years.

    The opening of the Dubai office is expected to offer substantial business opportunities for SAIL while further strengthening bilateral relations between India and the UAE. The establishment aligns with India’s broader strategy to enhance its steel sector’s international footprint and supports the country’s ambitious target of achieving 300 million tonnes of steel production by 2030 under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.

  • MIL-OSI USA: IAM District 160 Washington State Multicare Healthcare Professionals Begin Five-Day Strike for Safe Staffing, Fairness

    Source: US GOIAM Union

    Healthcare workers at Multicare Emergency – Parkland in Tacoma, Washington began a five day strike at midnight on June 30. The workers on shift at that hour proudly walked out of the facility as other workers and IAM representatives cheered outside the gates of the facility.

    The strike is over repeated illegal actions, including bad faith bargaining and retaliation against unionized employees, which has resulted in 14 National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) charges of unfair labor practices at the facility, Good Samaritan Hospital of Washington state. The facility is an Off-Campus Emergency Department (OCED) operated by Emerus, a Dallas-based equity firm.

    “MultiCare has intentionally made negotiations difficult from day one. The first ULP was filed immediately after certification because we were and continue to be denied basic access to our membership at the facility,” said IAM Western Territory International Representative Brandon Hemming, the group’s lead negotiator. “I’ve negotiated for over a decade, and I’ve never sat across the table from someone with such blatant disregard and a real aversion for reaching a fair agreement.”

    Workers at the Parkland facility—known widely as the busiest OCED location within MultiCare—face unique challenges, handling significant trauma patient volumes without direct hospital support.

    “Safe staffing is crucial to proper patient care, and that is a major concern for us,” said Michelle Zaun, an Emergency Service Technician at Parkland Multicare. “The company’s actions have contributed to significant staff attrition, dropping from 120 employees at certification to around 75 today, because people just can’t take it anymore.  And [the company] openly told us they are spending $300,000 on replacement employees for this week alone.”

    IAM Western Territory General Vice President, Robert “Bobby” Martinez said, “We are witnessing the solidarity that it takes to make meaningful change. These members have endured enough disrespect by the company and it is time for it to end. We stand strong with our brothers, sisters, and siblings to back them as they fight for what is right in this first contract”.

    Workers will man picket lines in front of the facility in two shifts for the rest of this week.  They intend to return to work on the coming holiday weekend, knowing that critical emergency health incidents normally rise during that period.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: /Economic Review/ Technological innovation drives growth and expansion of Chinese private enterprises

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    BEIJING, July 2 (Xinhua) — The service life of a standard photovoltaic cable is usually 15 years. However, in western China’s Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, such a cable lasted only eight years due to harsh weather conditions such as sudden temperature changes and intense ultraviolet radiation.

    The question of how to extend the service life of photovoltaic cables under such conditions was pressing. Ounaite Cable Group Co., Ltd., a private cable manufacturer in Qinghai Province, Northwest China, developed its own solutions in the form of soybean and rapeseed oils, which are considered useful in changing the properties of cables.

    The company decided to use a plasticizer derived from soybean and rapeseed oil in the production process of photovoltaic cables, which allowed them to be more flexible. It also used nanocoatings to increase the service life of the cable jackets.

    Thanks to years of innovative efforts, the company’s photovoltaic cables remain flexible at temperatures down to minus 40 degrees Celsius, and also withstand corrosion and intense ultraviolet radiation in high-altitude conditions.

    To date, Ounaite Cable has obtained more than 130 patents in this field, including 15 patents with independent property rights. With about 10% of the domestic market share in the photovoltaic power transmission and engineering systems sector, the company has also successfully entered the global market.

    “Strengthening independent innovation is the key to our transition from a follower to a leader,” said Yang Zhentao, chairman of Ounaite Cable, noting that the company’s annual output of photovoltaic cables currently reaches 120,000 km – enough to circle the Earth three times.

    The company continued to expand steadily in 2025, with orders up 45 percent year-on-year in the first five months, Yang Zhentao said, adding that the company aims to reach 20 billion yuan (about $2.8 billion) in production volume by next year, as construction on a new 100 million yuan investment project began in June.

    Ounaite Cable’s rise from a micro-firm to a national high-tech enterprise and a member of China’s “little giants” is not an isolated case. “Little giants” are the elite of small and medium-sized enterprises that specialize in a specific market niche, possess advanced technology, and demonstrate great potential.

    Hainan Huayan Collagen Technology Co., Ltd., another national high-tech enterprise located in Hainan Province, South China, has successfully developed a new product from fish collagen peptide, filling the gap in the global market of cyclic dipeptides derived from fish.

    According to Zhao Zifang, head of the company’s research and development center, this result was achieved after the research team spent more than two years conducting nearly 3,000 experiments.

    The company has put into operation two production lines, resulting in an annual output of 4,500 tons of fish collagen peptides, and these products are exported to more than 50 countries and regions.

    The rise of innovation-driven private companies is injecting new vitality into China’s economy.

    According to official data from the State Administration for Market Regulation, by the end of March 2025, the number of private enterprises in China exceeded 57 million, accounting for 92.3 percent of all enterprises nationwide.

    In the first quarter of this year, 1.979 million private firms were created, which is 7.1 percent more year-on-year and exceeds the average growth recorded over the past three years.

    This rapid expansion of the private sector has been made possible by the Chinese authorities’ increased efforts to support private companies in recent years.

    In the latest move to boost scientific research and industrial innovation, the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NNSF) on Monday launched the Joint Fund for Innovation and Development of Private Enterprises, aimed at allowing private companies to formally participate in national basic research.

    Under the fund, private enterprises will identify critical research challenges based on their specific innovation needs, and the joint fund will sponsor leading researchers across the country to address those challenges.

    Analysts say the approach, designed to promote deep integration of technological and industrial innovation, is expected to boost innovation in the private sector and give new impetus to China’s innovation-driven development strategy. -0-

  • MIL-OSI: Bitcoin Solaris Prepares for Launch: Mobile Mining App and Dual-Consensus Blockchain Gain Traction

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TALLINN, Estonia, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-S), a next-generation hybrid blockchain project, has officially entered the final phase of its token presale, following over $6 million in contributions and 13,650+ users joining the movement. With only five weeks remaining, investors and crypto enthusiasts are preparing for what many are calling a major launch for 2025.

    The BTC-S token is currently priced at $10, set to increase to $11 in the next stage, with a final launch price of $20. Early backers stand to benefit from an estimated 150%–200% potential ROI.

    What Makes Bitcoin Solaris Different?

    Bitcoin Solaris combines two consensus models into one powerful chain. While most coins rely on a single consensus mechanism, BTC-S runs on both Proof-of-Work and Delegated Proof-of-Stake via its dual-layer blockchain. The result is unmatched speed and security working in tandem.

    BTC-S isn’t just fast on paper. Its testnet already hit:

    • 10,000+ transactions per second.
    • Finality in just 2 seconds.
    • Energy savings over 99 percent compared to traditional PoW.
    • Smart contract infrastructure for full DeFi deployment.
    • Cross-chain bridge integration to enable real asset transfer.

    This isn’t speculation. This is a chain already proving its performance.

    Built for the Mobile World

    Bitcoin Solaris is going all-in on mobile users. With the upcoming Solaris Nova app, users will be able to mine on their smartphones without draining battery or bandwidth. The adaptive mining algorithm adjusts based on the device, and early data shows serious momentum.

    • Mining is possible without GPU rigs.
    • Teams and leaderboards add a gamified community element.
    • Mining power is tokenized for marketplace trading.
    • Income tracking is available inside the app dashboard.

    Crypto Was Meant for Everyone BTC-S Finally Delivers That Promise

    It’s no surprise that thousands have already used the Solaris Mining Calculator to estimate daily income potential.

    Influencers Are Sounding the Alarm

    Crypto influencers are lighting up about Bitcoin Solaris, calling it a must-watch project in 2025. Several reviews are already out, each breaking down why BTC-S is causing serious waves.

    • Crypto Vlog highlighted the dual-consensus engine and how it bridges two generations of crypto.
    • Crypto League focused on the early user growth and momentum around mobile-first innovation.

    And this is just the beginning. Discussions across social channels and Telegram are growing rapidly, with over 13,650 unique users joining the presale movement so far.

    Presale Phase 10: Final Countdown Begins

    With less than 5 weeks left in the presale, BTC-S is becoming one of the most talked-about launches of the year. Here’s what you need to know:

    • Current Price: $10
    • Next Phase: $11
    • Launch Price: $20
    • Bonus: 6 percent
    • Potential ROI: 150 to 200 percent

    With over $6 million already raised, momentum is heating up. Users should know that wallets like Trust Wallet and Metamask are recommended for receiving tokens on launch day. They are not required for the presale but are ideal for post-launch delivery.

    Final Thoughts: Don’t Regret This One

    Bitcoin Solaris is doing what most projects only pretend to do. Faster, fairer, mobile-ready, and community-first. And this might be the second chance that rarely comes around.

  • MIL-OSI: Drone as a Service (DaaS) Market is Booming Expected to Reach $179 Billion By 2030

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALM BEACH, Fla., July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FN Media Group News Commentary – The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) in agriculture will increasingly involve a sophisticated interplay of robots, drones, remote sensors, and computer imaging. A report from MarketsAndMarkets said: “The overall drones as a service market will reach $179.3 billion by 2030. Surveillance and monitoring will be the largest revenue opportunity through 2030 High potential industry verticals include construction, insurance, aerospace and real estate Surveillance and mapping remain largest opportunities with maintenance and inspection rapidly gaining ground as high ROI solutions and Developing countries are fastest growing for many solutions due largely to substantial cost avoidance for expensive professional services.” It continued: “The fundamental principle underpinning cloud computing is the decentralization of computational resources. It posits that the physical infrastructure required for processing data and running applications no longer necessitates a local presence within a customer’s own facilities. Furthermore, the precise geographical location of these computing resources becomes largely immaterial to the end-user. Imagine, if you will, computational power existing almost ubiquitously, like a utility that can be tapped into whenever and wherever the need arises. This abstract notion of computing residing “in the ether” highlights the on-demand and location-independent nature of the cloud.” Active Companies in the markets today include ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), Deere & Company (NYSE: DE), EHang Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: EH), AGCO Corporation (NYSE: AGCO), AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS).

    MarketsAndMarkets added: “This shift in paradigm has yielded significant advantages. Firstly, it has dramatically improved the utilization of computing assets. Instead of individual organizations maintaining underutilized servers and infrastructure, cloud providers can aggregate demand from numerous customers, leading to far greater efficiency. The evolution of cloud computing has fostered the “as a service” delivery model. This framework provides computational capabilities – be it processing power, storage, or specialized software – as a service that can be accessed over a network, typically the internet. This “as a service” approach has proven to be an exceptionally adaptable and scalable method for organizations to introduce and expand their computational capabilities without the upfront investment and management overhead associated with traditional IT infrastructure. This transformative “as a service” paradigm is now profoundly impacting the field of robotics. It is paving the way for “automation as a service”, where robotic capabilities are offered as a readily available service rather than requiring the outright purchase and maintenance of physical robots. This shift unlocks new possibilities for businesses that may have previously found robotics cost-prohibitive or lacked the in-house expertise to deploy and manage them effectively.”

    ZenaTech (NASDAQ:ZENA) Expands Drone as a Service (DaaS) to California with Offer to Acquire an Engineering and Surveying Firm, Tapping into Precision Agriculture and Viticulture Market – ZenaTech, Inc. (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), and enterprise SaaS, has signed an offer to acquire a California-based civil engineering and land surveying firm with a well established history of operations. This marks ZenaTech’s first proposed transaction in the US West Coast or Southwest region, creating a strategic entry point into California ─ a high-value market for drone-based precision agriculture due to a massive agriculture economy, crop diversity, labor and water challenges, and an openness to innovation.

    With a commercial, construction and sustainability solution customer base and a deep regional presence, the proposed acquisition positions ZenaTech to scale its Drone as a Service or DaaS survey operations. It also provides significant opportunity to expand into California’s wine and agriculture sectors using advanced drone capabilities including aerial imaging, precision spraying, irrigation analytics, and wildfire detection and monitoring in high-risk areas.

    “This proposed acquisition is more than just our first Southwest region location — it’s a strategic foothold into a high-value, high-growth state for precision agriculture,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO of ZenaTech. “The firm is a natural fit to help execute our growth strategy for crop health monitoring and precision spraying to serve viticulture, large estates, and commercial farming operations across California.”

    With the global agricultural drone market projected to reach USD 10.3 billion by 2030, driven by rising demand for precision technologies in farming, California stands out as a key growth region as well as being home to nearly 90% of all US vineyard acreage. Considering California’s mounting climate and agricultural challenges, ZenaTech’s AI-powered autonomous drone solutions offer timely, scalable innovation that serves the needs of commercial enterprises, cooperatives, agriculture consultants, and public sector stakeholders.

    ZenaTech’s Drone as a Service (DaaS) business model offers both business and government customers reduced costs and convenience to utilize drones to streamline legacy processes and manual tasks such as inspections, surveying, maintenance, precision agriculture and inventory management ─ there is no need to purchase drone hardware and software, find a drone pilot, manage maintenance and operation, or acquire regulatory approvals. The model also offers scalability to use more often or less often based on business needs and utilizes ZenaDrone’s multifunction AI autonomous drones.

    The company has closed six acquisitions across the US to date as part of its DaaS business model and strategy and has announced it plans to complete approximately 20 more in the next 12 months. Continued… Read this full release by visiting: https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-zena/

  • MIL-OSI: LILPEPE Gains Recognition as Ethereum Chain’s Strongest Meme Coin of 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Little Pepe has officially entered the meme coin spotlight—raising over $3 million in its presale and gaining fast recognition as Ethereum’s strongest competitor to SHIB and PEPE. With a powerful mix of meme culture, fast and affordable blockchain tech, and strong early investor backing, $LILPEPE is now being seen as the next big thing in crypto’s meme economy.

    Little Pepe ($LILPEPE)

    Little Pepe stands out in a sea of meme tokens by combining viral appeal with actual blockchain utility. While many meme coins rely on hype alone, Little Pepe is powered by a lightning-fast, low-cost Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 protocol. This makes it faster, cheaper, and more scalable than typical tokens built on Ethereum Chain.

    The project is designed to tackle some of the biggest issues in crypto today—high gas fees, slow transactions, and poor scalability. With its EVM compatibility, Little Pepe supports seamless smart contract development while maintaining Ethereum-level security and performance.

    $LILPEPE: The Token That Powers It All

    At the heart of this growing ecosystem is $LILPEPE, an ERC-20 utility token that does much more than just represent a meme. It fuels the entire Little Pepe network—covering everything from staking and governance to transaction fees and DApp activity.

    Little Pepe’s developers have created an ecosystem where $LILPEPE is more than just a digital asset—it’s a core part of a broader blockchain world where memes meet real value. The token represents an opportunity to be part of the next wave of meme-based innovation—one that’s built to last.

    Massive Presale Momentum: Over $3M Raised

    Little Pepe presale is currently in Stage 4, with tokens priced at just $0.0013, the project has already raised over $3 million—a rare feat in today’s crowded meme coin space. This shows that both retail traders and crypto whales see serious potential in what $LILPEPE is building.

    With each presale stage, the token price increases, offering early investors the best entry opportunity. As community buzz continues to grow, and major crypto influencers take notice, many believe $LILPEPE could be the breakout meme coin of 2025. The only way to participate is through the official website: littlepepe.com.

    Moreover, Little Pepe is built to operate on a Layer 2 protocol that keeps transaction costs low and speeds high, all while staying fully compatible with Ethereum’s ecosystem. That means users get the best of both worlds: the security of Ethereum and the performance of Layer 2. This gives Little Pepe a major edge in areas like gaming, and micro-transactions, where speed and low costs are essential.

    $LILPEPE – Ethereum’s Strongest SHIB and PEPE Competitor

    Memes have always driven crypto adoption—from Dogecoin to SHIB, and more recently PEPE. But Little Pepe goes beyond being just a joke or trend. It represents a new generation of meme coins that are built on real tech, with real goals.

    The branding takes inspiration from the iconic “Pepe” meme, but gives it a new identity—a leader in a meme coin kingdom backed by infrastructure, not just internet humor. And the community around Little Pepe is growing fast, with Telegram, Twitter, and other social channels filled with excitement, updates, and investor confidence. This combination of strong community energy and actual blockchain functionality is what positions Little Pepe as a serious competitor to SHIB and PEPE.

    About Little Pepe

    Little Pepe is a next-gen Layer 2 blockchain designed to merge meme culture with high-speed, low-cost decentralized infrastructure. Built for scalability, security, and accessibility, Little Pepe supports EVM-compatible applications and is powered by means of the $LILPEPE token. The project’s mission is to create a meme coin environment wherein utility meets virality, empowering users through cutting-edge technology and lightning-fast transactions.
