  • MIL-OSI USA: Wyoming Air National Guard celebrates historic Recruiting and Retention Flight

    Source: US State of Wyoming

    It’s official. The Wyoming Air National Guard formally recognized their recruiting and retention unit as a flight during an Activation and Assumption of Command Ceremony last week.

    When U.S. Air Force Capt. Nicole Zoellner raised her hand in salute during the ceremony, she also became one of the first commanders in the country to lead recruiting and retention as an official unit.

    The activation of a new flight marks an important milestone by establishing a unit designed to support the mission of the United States Air Force and the Wyoming Air National Guard.

    The term “flight” dates to World War One and was originally used to designate a group of aircraft. Today, the term can be used for any kind of group with a distinct mission.

    And the Recruiting and Retention Flight at the Wyoming Air National Guard have a big one.

    The number one priority for leadership at the Wyoming Air National Guard is bringing in the next generation of talent. This is no small feat, especially when one considers that Wyoming is the least populated state in the country, with the lowest population density as well.

    In fact, the state has more antelopes than people.

    But the number of enlistments for the Wyoming Air National Guard continues to increase in large part thanks to the grit, drive, and determination of the Wyoming Air National Guard’s Recruiting and Retention Flight. Last year, they ranked in the top 15 recruiting and retention units nationwide in total accessions.

    During the Activation and Assumption of Command Ceremony last week, Brigadier General Barry Deibert presented the official activation orders. The audience rose for the publishing of the order. Military members stood at attention. The guidon posted the flag unwaveringly.

    “By order of the Adjutant General and the Governor of Wyoming, effective 17 May, 2025, Recruiting and Retention Flight, Joint Force Headquarters, is hereby activated to support the mission of the 153rd Airlift Wing, United States Air Force,” Deibert said.

    With the activation of the flight, it was time to recognize its leadership.

    Zoellner faced Deibert and saluted.

    “Sir, I assume command,” she said.

    With the passing of the orders, the Recruiting and Retention Flight at the Wyoming Air National Guard will gain additional resources to achieve their mission. The flight will now have a defined chain of command, additional manning, and new opportunities for the recruiters to advance in their career field.

    Also, they will now be known as talent management craftsmen.

    “This is such an exciting time for the flight to be moving forward,” Zoellner said. “Recruiting and retention has always been given the expectation to push and do more, but now they are given the resources to make that happen.”

    They’re tasked to reach 102% manning for the 153rd Airlift Wing in 2028.

    “Our recruiters let interested people know that by joining the Wyoming Air Guard they can be the heroes of their own story, and we are here to be their guide,” Zoellner said. “You need tuition assistance for school? You want to be a part of something bigger than yourself? We have a solution, but it’s your story.”

    The Recruiting and Retention Flight of the Wyoming Air National Guard are on the frontline of the future, taking on the mission of attracting the next generation of the best and brightest.

    Querido Pedro Sánchez, Presidente del Gobierno de España quiero agradecerte y agradecer al Gobierno y al pueblo de España por la magnífica organización de esta Conferencia y por la extraordinaria hospitalidad que estamos recibiendo.
     
    España es un pilar del multilateralismo, un socio firme de las Naciones Unidas y un defensor del desarrollo – como demuestra, una vez más, al acoger esta importante conferencia.
     
    España es también una voz líder mundial por la paz – y comprende los profundos vínculos entre el desarrollo y la paz.
     
    At a time of profound global turmoil, we must keep working for peace, for peace in the Middle East.
     
    For an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the immediate release of all hostages, and unimpeded humanitarian access as a first step to achieve the two-State solution.
     
    For the ceasefire between Iran and Israel to hold.
     
    For a just and lasting peace in Ukraine based on the UN Charter, international law and UN resolutions. 
     
    For an end to the horror and bloodshed in Sudan.
     
    We know that sustainable peace requires sustainable development.
     
    Ladies and gentlemen of the media.
     
    As I said in opening the Conference this morning, development is not just about numbers on a page.
     
    It’s about food, health care and education.
     
    It’s about jobs and social protection.
     
    It’s about infrastructure like water systems, internet access and climate-resilient buildings.
     
    It’s about providing equal opportunity for girls and women which moves all societies ahead.
     
    It’s about easing human suffering, and driving progress across every community, large and small.
     
    Development is about people.
     
    And we have collectively made great strides in development in recent decades.
     
    But progress doesn’t happen on its own. 
     
    It takes support and investment.
     
    As we meet, the world is falling behind in its commitments to advance the Sustainable Development Goals.
     
    Achieving them will take an investment of more than $4 trillion a year.
     
    And meanwhile, global growth is slowing, trade barriers are rising, and aid budgets are falling.
     
    Developing countries are drowning in debt service payments, which have skyrocketed to $1.4 trillion every year.
     
    And the great enabler of development — international cooperation — is being chipped away by geopolitical mistrust and division.
     
    Now, this Conference is about rebuilding that trust with concrete commitments.
     
    With the adoption of the Sevilla Commitment document, countries are proving their dedication to getting the engine of development revving again:
     
    Through new domestic and global commitments that can channel public and private finance to the areas of greatest need…
     
    By overhauling the world’s approach to debt to make borrowing work in service of sustainable development…
     
    And by reforming the global financial architecture to reflect today’s realities and the urgent needs of developing countries, that must have a much stronger voice and participation in the institutions of this financial architecture.
     
    The Sevilla Platform of Action being launched later today will help us move from words to action.
     
    It contains dozens of new practical initiatives to accelerate funding for development around the world.
     
    This includes the commitment to establish a borrowers forum for countries to learn from one another and coordinate their approaches in debt management and restructuring.
     
    This is one of 11 immediately actionable proposals to help resolve the debt crisis, backed by my group of experts on debt that will be publishing their report.
     
    I look forward to working closely with Member States — including the G20 — to bring this forum to life.
     
    Por encima de todo, Sevilla va de soluciones.
     
    Y de encontrar esas soluciones en un momento de dificultades y división para la familia humana.
     
    Espero que nuestros esfuerzos colectivos aquí en Sevilla puedan inspirar y motivar a los países del mundo a trabajar unidos para resolver otros desafíos globales.
     
    Y una vez más, quiero agradecer al Presidente del Gobierno y al pueblo español por dar la bienvenida al mundo aquí en Sevilla. 
     
    Muchas gracias.

    Prime Minister Sánchez, my thanks to you and the government and people of Spain for your tremendous hospitality.

    Dear Pedro Sánchez, President of the Government of Spain, I would like to thank you and the Government and people of Spain for the magnificent organization of this Conference and for the extraordinary hospitality we are receiving.

    Spain is a pillar of multilateralism, a steadfast partner of the United Nations, and a champion of development as we see once again in your hosting of this major conference. 

    Spain is also a leading global voice for peace — and understands the deep linkages between development and peace.

    At a time of profound global turmoil, we must keep working for peace, for peace in the Middle East.

    For an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the immediate release of all hostages, and unimpeded humanitarian access as a first step to achieve the two-State solution.

    For the ceasefire between Iran and Israel to hold.

    For a just and lasting peace in Ukraine based on the UN Charter, international law and UN resolutions. 

    For an end to the horror and bloodshed in Sudan.

    We know that sustainable peace requires sustainable development.

    Ladies and gentlemen of the media.

    As I said in opening the Conference this morning, development is not just about numbers on a page.

    It’s about food, health care and education.

    It’s about jobs and social protection.

    It’s about infrastructure like water systems, internet access and climate-resilient buildings.

    It’s about providing equal opportunity for girls and women which moves all societies ahead.

    It’s about easing human suffering, and driving progress across every community, large and small.

    Development is about people.

    And we have collectively made great strides in development in recent decades.

    But progress doesn’t happen on its own. 

    It takes support and investment.

    As we meet, the world is falling behind in its commitments to advance the Sustainable Development Goals.

    Achieving them will take an investment of more than $4 trillion a year.

    Meanwhile, global growth is slowing, trade barriers are rising, and aid budgets are falling.

    Developing countries are drowning in debt service payments, which have skyrocketed to $1.4 trillion every year.

    And the great enabler of development — international cooperation — is being chipped away by geopolitical mistrust and division.

    This Conference is about rebuilding that trust with concrete commitments.

    With the adoption of the Sevilla Commitment document, countries are proving their dedication to getting the engine of development revving again:

    Through new domestic and global commitments that can channel public and private finance to the areas of greatest need…

    By overhauling the world’s approach to debt to make borrowing work in service of sustainable development…

    And by reforming the global financial architecture to reflect today’s realities and the urgent needs of developing countries, that must have a much stronger voice and participation in the institutions of this financial architecture.

    The Sevilla Platform of Action being launched later today will help us move from words to action.

    This is one of 11 immediately actionable proposals to help resolve the debt crisis, backed by my group of experts on debt that will be publishing their report.

    I look forward to working closely with Member States — including the G20 — to bring this forum to life.

    Above all, Sevilla is about solutions.

    And finding these solutions at a divided and difficult moment for the human family.

    It is my hope that our collective efforts here in Sevilla can inspire and motivate the countries of the world to work as one to solve other global challenges.

    Once again, I’d like to thank Prime Minister Sánchez and the people of Spain for welcoming the world to Sevilla. 

    Thank you.

    Querido Pedro Sánchez, Presidente del Gobierno de España quiero agradecerte y agradecer al Gobierno y al pueblo de España por la magnífica organización de esta Conferencia y por la extraordinaria hospitalidad que estamos recibiendo.

    España es un pilar del multilateralismo, un socio firme de las Naciones Unidas y un defensor del desarrollo – como lo demuestra, una vez más, al acoger esta importante conferencia.

    España es también una voz líder mundial por la paz – y comprende los profundos vínculos entre el desarrollo y la paz.

    En estos momentos de profunda agitación mundial, debemos seguir trabajando por la paz, por la paz en Oriente Medio.

    Por un alto el fuego inmediato en Gaza, la liberación inmediata de todos los rehenes y un acceso humanitario sin trabas – como primer paso para lograr la solución de dos Estados.

    Por el mantenimiento del alto el fuego entre Irán e Israel.

    Por una paz justa y duradera en Ucrania, basada en la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, el derecho internacional y las resoluciones de la ONU. 

    Por el fin del horror y el derramamiento de sangre en Sudán.

    Sabemos que una paz sostenible requiere un desarrollo sostenible.

    Señoras y señores de los medios,

    Como he dicho esta mañana al inaugurar la Conferencia, el desarrollo no es solo números en un papel.

    El desarrollo tiene que ver con la alimentación, la atención sanitaria y la educación.

    Con los empleos y la protección social.

    Con las infraestructuras, como los sistemas de abastecimiento de agua, el acceso a Internet y los edificios resistentes al clima.

    Se trata de ofrecer igualdad de oportunidades a las niñas y las mujeres, que tan a menudo son las primeras a quienes se deja atrás.

    Se trata de aliviar el sufrimiento humano e impulsar el progreso en todas las comunidades, tanto grandes como pequeñas.

    El desarrollo se trata de las personas.

    Y colectivamente hemos hecho grandes progresos en materia de desarrollo en las últimas décadas.

    Pero los progresos no se producen por sí solos. 

    Se necesita apoyo e inversión.

    Mientras nos reunimos, el mundo se está quedando a la zaga en sus compromisos de impulsar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible.

    Para alcanzarlos, hará falta una inversión de más de 4 billones de dólares al año.

    Y mientras tanto, el crecimiento mundial se ralentiza, las barreras comerciales aumentan, y disminuyen los presupuestos para ayuda.

    Los países en desarrollo están ahogados por los pagos de servicio de la deuda, que se han disparado hasta los 1,4 billones de dólares anuales.

    Y la desconfianza y la división geopolíticas están minando el gran motor del desarrollo, que es la cooperación internacional.

    Esta Conferencia trata de reconstruir esa confianza con compromisos concretos.

    Con la adopción del documento del Compromiso de Sevilla, los países están demostrando que quieren volver a acelerar el motor del desarrollo:

    Con nuevos compromisos nacionales y globales que dirijan la financiación pública y privada a las esferas donde es más necesaria…

    Revisando el enfoque global de la deuda para hacer que el endeudamiento esté al servicio del desarrollo sostenible…

    Y reformando la arquitectura financiera mundial para que refleje las realidades actuales y las necesidades urgentes de los países en desarrollo que deben tener una voz y una participación mucho más fuertes en las instituciones de esta arquitectura financiera.

    La Plataforma de Acción de Sevilla, que se pondrá en marcha hoy, nos ayudará a pasar de las palabras a los hechos.

    Contiene docenas de nuevas iniciativas prácticas para acelerar la financiación del desarrollo en todo el mundo.

    Este incluye el compromiso de establecer un foro de prestatarios para que los países aprendan unos de otros y coordinen sus planteamientos en la gestión de la deuda y la reestructuración.

    Esta es una de las 11 propuestas de acción inmediata para ayudar a resolver la crisis de la deuda, respaldadas por mi grupo de expertos en deuda que publicará su informe.

    Espero trabajar en estrecha colaboración con los Estados miembros -incluido el G20 – para dar vida a este foro.

    Por encima de todo, Sevilla va de soluciones.

    Y de encontrar esas soluciones en un momento de dificultades y división para la familia humana.

    Espero que nuestros esfuerzos colectivos aquí en Sevilla puedan inspirar y motivar a los países del mundo a trabajar unidos para resolver otros desafíos globales.

    Y una vez más, quiero agradecer al Presidente del Gobierno y al pueblo español por dar la bienvenida al mundo aquí en Sevilla. 

    Muchas gracias.

    Governor Stein Highlights Ongoing Efforts to Expand Access to Good Jobs with Good Wages

    Raleigh, NC

    Today at Central Piedmont Community College, Governor Josh Stein’s Council on Workforce and Apprenticeships announced its first report, outlining its goals to expand access to good jobs with good wages that will support a family. 

    “You shouldn’t have to get a four-year degree to get a good job and support your family,” said Governor Stein. “That’s why I am committed to creating more good-paying jobs and pursuing the goals in this report so that our people have the skills and knowledge they need to build strong careers and bright futures in a changing economy.”

    “The Governor’s Council on Workforce and Apprenticeships featured the expertise of representatives from everyone in our workforce system, from employers and labor to educators and state officials,” said Commerce Secretary Lee Lilley. “Meeting the goals adopted by the Council will be vital to continuing North Carolina’s economic success, because our talented people give us our competitive edge.”

    “Communities in every corner of the state, whether they are urban or rural, all need workers with the right skills for the jobs of today and tomorrow,” said Senator Eddie Settle. “The Council’s goals identify the top priorities for North Carolina to continue building an exceptional business climate, while allowing all workers to have opportunities for rewarding careers.”

    “Building upon North Carolina’s strong tradition of collaboration in workforce development, the Council has highlighted important ways that we can use education, training, apprenticeships, and other work-based learning partnerships to meet the needs of employers,” said Dr. Jeff Cox, president of the N.C. Community College System. “Our outstanding 58 community colleges look forward to playing a key role in meeting these goals.” 

    The 11 goals approved by the Council and submitted to Governor Stein are:

    1. Ensure 2 million North Carolinians aged 25-44 will have earned an industry-valued credential or degree.

    2. By graduation, ensure that every high school student has completed coursework that results in transferable credit or credentials/certifications in preparation for the postsecondary pathway of their choice. The coursework includes dual enrollment, Career & Technical Education (CTE) concentrator, Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC), Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate, and work-based learning courses. 

    3. For graduating high school students, increase postsecondary enrollment, employment, or enlistment in the military within 12 months of high school graduation.

    4. Double the number of registered apprentices.

    5. Increase participation in work-based learning:

    • Double the number of work-based learning experiences through the NCWorks system with funding from Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Title I and the Native American Workforce Program.
    • Double the number of high school students participating in work-based learning.
    • Increase by 25% the number of community college students participating in work-based learning courses.
    • Increase by 25% work-based learning experiences including Correction Enterprises roles and work-release at state correctional facilities.
    • Increase by 15% work-based learning experiences for individuals with disabilities through Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Title IV funds.
    • Double the number of students participating in the state government internship program.

    6. Engage 50,000 employers to partner with the Governor’s Council on Workforce and Apprenticeships on achieving its goals.

    7. Establish and expand coordinated partnerships between education and workforce agencies and employers to increase alignment of resources to better address current and projected employer needs. Partnerships will result, on an annual basis, in the identification of local industry-valued training across the education continuum, shared planning for educational courses to meet these training needs, and increased use of available federal and state funds to support training in these programs.

    8. Create statewide sector-based workforce development strategies for at least 3 key industries, including, but not limited to, advanced manufacturing, education, and health care.

    9. Develop a plan to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) skills development into sector-based strategies and work-based learning in key industries to build a future-ready workforce.

    10. Reduce state government vacancy rate to 15%.

    11. Launch a coordinated statewide public outreach effort to broaden awareness and participation in workforce development programs by employers, learners, jobseekers, and incumbent workers, with an emphasis on reaching under-tapped talent pools like rural communities, veterans and their families, individuals with disabilities, and justice-involved people.

    Established through Executive Order No. 11 as an advisory body within the NCWorks Commission, the Council is co-chaired by N.C. Department of Commerce Secretary Lee Lilley, N.C. Senator Eddie Settle, and N.C. Community College System President Dr. Jeff Cox. The Department of Commerce and the North Carolina Business Committee for Education (NCBCE) provide administrative support for the Council’s work. The Council will continue to meet and will develop a second report, due in December 2025, detailing proposed strategies to attain each goal.

    Since January 1st, Governor Stein has announced business expansions or new projects that will make more than $16.3 billion of new capital investment in North Carolina and create more than 18,000 new good-paying jobs.

  • MIL-OSI: JCE SEO Launches Innovative Digital Revenue Engines to Drive Business Growth

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    San Antonio, Texas, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — JCE SEO Web Design & Digital Marketing, a Texas-based digital agency, announced today the launch of its new “digital revenue engines” initiative, aimed at delivering measurable business growth for high-ticket clients. This innovative approach redefines traditional digital marketing by shifting the focus from a menu of services to a results-driven model designed to generate revenue, enhance market positioning, and ensure predictable performance outcomes.

    The traditional model of digital marketing often revolves around a menu of services, such as search engine optimization (SEO), social media management, and content creation. While these services are essential, they do not inherently guarantee success or revenue growth. JCE SEO recognizes that high-ticket clients are not merely interested in purchasing marketing services; they are looking for solutions that will drive their business forward. This understanding has led to the development of digital revenue engines, which are designed to deliver measurable outcomes that align with the clients’ business objectives.

    At the core of JCE SEO’s digital revenue engines is the belief that businesses should sell outcomes rather than services. This philosophy is particularly relevant for high-ticket clients who are focused on achieving specific goals, such as increasing sales, expanding market share, or enhancing brand reputation. By framing their offerings in terms of the results they can deliver, JCE SEO positions itself as a partner in the clients’ success rather than just a service provider.

    One of the key advantages of this approach is the emphasis on predictable performance. High-ticket clients often operate in competitive markets where every decision can significantly impact their bottom line. They require assurance that their investment in digital marketing will yield positive results. JCE SEO addresses this need by implementing data-driven strategies that are tailored to each client’s unique circumstances. By leveraging advanced analytics and performance metrics, the company can provide clients with insights into their marketing efforts, allowing them to make informed decisions and adjust their strategies as needed.

    The digital revenue engines offered by JCE SEO encompass a range of services that are strategically designed to drive revenue growth. These services include comprehensive website design, search engine optimization, lead generation, and targeted advertising campaigns. Each component is integrated into a cohesive strategy that focuses on achieving the desired outcomes for the client. For instance, a well-designed website not only enhances user experience but also serves as a powerful tool for lead generation, converting visitors into paying customers.

    Website design plays a crucial role in the success of digital marketing efforts. A visually appealing and user-friendly website can significantly impact a business’s ability to attract and retain customers. JCE SEO understands that a website is often the first point of contact between a business and its potential clients. Therefore, the company prioritizes creating websites that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also optimized for search engines. This dual focus ensures that clients can effectively reach their target audience while also providing a seamless experience for users.

    Lead generation is another critical aspect of JCE SEO’s digital revenue engines. The company employs a variety of strategies to attract potential customers and convert them into leads. This includes utilizing content marketing, social media engagement, and targeted advertising campaigns. By focusing on lead generation, JCE SEO helps clients build a robust sales pipeline that can drive consistent revenue growth. The company’s expertise in digital marketing allows it to identify the most effective channels for reaching potential customers, ensuring that clients can maximize their return on investment.

    In addition to these services, JCE SEO places a strong emphasis on market leadership. High-ticket clients often aspire to be leaders in their respective industries, and JCE SEO is committed to helping them achieve this goal. By implementing innovative marketing strategies and staying ahead of industry trends, the company positions its clients as thought leaders in their fields. This not only enhances their brand reputation but also attracts more customers who are seeking reliable and authoritative solutions.

    The success of JCE SEO’s digital revenue engines is evident in the results achieved by its clients. Many businesses have reported significant increases in revenue and market share after partnering with JCE SEO. This success can be attributed to the company’s commitment to delivering outcomes that matter to its clients. By focusing on revenue growth and market leadership, JCE SEO has established itself as a trusted partner for high-ticket clients seeking predictable performance in their digital marketing efforts.

    As the digital marketing landscape continues to evolve, JCE SEO remains at the forefront of innovation. The company’s digital revenue engines represent a shift in how businesses approach marketing, emphasizing the importance of outcomes over services. This approach not only aligns with the needs of high-ticket clients but also sets a new standard for the industry as a whole.

    In conclusion, JCE SEO’s introduction of digital revenue engines marks a significant advancement in the field of digital marketing. By prioritizing outcomes such as revenue growth and market leadership, the company is redefining the way businesses engage with their marketing strategies. High-ticket clients can now rely on JCE SEO to deliver predictable performance and measurable results, ensuring that their investment in digital marketing translates into tangible success. As businesses continue to navigate the complexities of the digital landscape, JCE SEO stands ready to empower them with innovative solutions that drive growth and establish market leadership.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Plastics Recycling With Enzymes Takes a Leap Forward

    Source: US National Renewable Energy Laboratory

    Key Process Improvements Save Energy and Cut Costs for Recycling Polyester With Enzymes

    NREL and collaborators made key improvements at each stage of an enzymatic recycling process—from the breakdown of plastics to the efficient recovery of building blocks for high-value materials—which resulted in an economically viable process for industry. Pictured from NREL (back row left to right): Manar Alherech, John E. McGeehan, Stephen H. Dempsey, Gregg T. Beckham; (front row left to right): Kelsey J. Ramirez, Natasha P. Murphy, Jason S. DesVeaux, Christine A. Singer, Hannah M. Alt, Elizabeth L. Bell. Photo by Josh Bauer, NREL

    A successful collaboration involving a trio of research institutions has yielded a road map toward an economically viable process for using enzymes to recycle plastics.

    The researchers, from NREL, the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and the University of Portsmouth in England, previously partnered on the biological engineering of improved PETase enzymes that can break down polyethylene terephthalate (PET). With its low manufacturing cost and excellent material properties, PET is used extensively in single-use packaging, soda bottles, and textiles.

    The new study combines the previous fundamental research with advanced chemical engineering, process development, and techno-economic analysis to lay the blueprints for enzyme-based PET recycling at industrial scale.

    While current methods exist for recycling PET, they are often incompatible with typical low-quality plastic waste. A potential solution lies with enzymes, which can selectively break down PET, even from contaminated and colored plastic waste streams. The researchers’ new design focuses on improvements at each stage of the process, from plastic deconstruction with enzymes, to efficient recovery of the resulting building blocks, or monomers. These monomers can be used to make new plastic or upcycled to generate higher value materials, saving energy and resources.

    The key to making such a process viable is to reduce the energy and cost requirements, which in turn yields a cheaper product. The team has achieved this by innovations that change the reaction conditions and separations technologies to reduce expensive acid and base additions by more than 99%, reduce annual running costs by 74%, and reduce energy use by 65%.

    “Despite the advantages of enzymatic recycling for complex plastic waste streams, the field has encountered multiple challenges for realistic implementation,” said Gregg Beckham, a senior research fellow at NREL and colead of the study. “Here we have taken a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates multiple innovations to realize an economically viable and scalable process.”

    The modeled cost of the resulting enzyme-recycled PET are now below those of U.S. domestic virgin PET ($1.51/kg vs. $1.87/kg), making this an attractive option for industry investment and scale-up.

    According to a 2022 NREL study, 86% of plastics were landfilled in the United States in 2019—materials with enough embodied energy to supply 5% of the power needs of the U.S. transportation sector. With global plastic production anticipated to increase between two and four times current levels by 2050, recovering and valorizing more postconsumer plastics is an opportunity to recapture that energy for domestic materials manufacturing.

    “We see a significant opportunity to design, test, and optimize new recycling technologies to efficiently valorize postconsumer plastics into feedstock for new materials,” said Natasha Murphy, a biochemist at NREL and co-first author of the new paper.

    The paper, “Process innovations to enable viable enzymatic poly(ethylene terephthalate) recycling,” appears in the journal Nature Chemical Engineering. Other co-authors from NREL are Stephen Dempsey, Jason DesVeaux, Taylor Uekert, Swarnalatha Mailaram, Manar Alherech, Hannah Alt, Kelsey Ramirez, Brenna Norton-Baker, Elizabeth Bell, Christine Singer, and John McGeehan.

    McGeehan, who recently joined NREL from the University of Portsmouth, said, “I am delighted to be part of a team that is dedicated to translate fundamental science toward real-world application and look forward to working closely between NREL and our industry partners to accelerate the design and construction of the first U.S. enzymatic plastic recycling plant.”

    Research funds came from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office and Bioenergy Technologies Office. This work was performed as part of the Bio-Optimized Technologies to keep Thermoplastics out of Landfills and the Environment (BOTTLETM) consortium.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Bacon to Retire at End of 119th Congress

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congressman Don Bacon (2nd District of Nebraska)

    Bacon to Retire at End of 119th Congress

    Touts Accomplishes and Pledges to Continue Outstanding Service and Pursue Legislative Initiatives

    Omaha, Neb. – Today, Rep. Don Bacon (NE-02), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee’s (HASC) Cyber, Information Technologies and Innovation Subcommittee (CITI), announced he will not seek reelection in 2026 and will retire at the end of the 119th Congress. 

    “After consultation with my family and much prayer, I have decided not to seek reelection in 2026 and will fulfill my term in the 119th Congress through January 2, 2027. After three decades in the Air Force and now going on one decade in Congress, I look forward to coming home in the evenings and being with my wife and seeing more of our adult children and eight grandchildren, who all live near my home. I’ve been married for 41 years, and I’d like to dedicate more time to my family, my church, and the Omaha community. I also want to continue advocating for a strong national security strategy and a strong alliance system with countries that share our love of democracy, free markets and the rule of law. 

    “During the remainder of the 119th Congress, we will be focused on finishing the job. Providing top-notch constituent services in the district, for which we were recognized in 2021 with the Congressional Management Foundation’s Democracy Awards for Constituent Services in 2021, will be a priority as it always has been.  

    “To date, we have processed close to 8,500 casework/requests for assistance; we have helped people who were wrongly marked as deceased, helped citizens in distress around the world return home; helped people devasted by disasters such as flood and tornadoes, literally climb out of the ruble and connect them with resources; we have solved problems with Medicare, Social Security and IRS problems, passports and immigration, and so much more. Our team has worked diligently every day to advocate for and deliver on behalf of our constituents. 

    “Legislatively, I aim to work to get five agricultural bills passed that were included as part of the Farm Bill, including the increase of defenses for our nation’s food supply chain and removing barriers for the next generation of farmers seeking to establish their operations. I will continue my work on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and lay the groundwork for a new VA hospital in Omaha.  

    “My service to our great nation started in the Air Force, where I served sixteen assignments, five commands and four deployments and will continue in Congress until the end of the 119th Congress. I’d like to find new ways to serve our great country.  I have a love for national security, and I’ll always be a proponent for old-fashioned Ronald Reagan Conservative values.  It has been an honor to serve the 2nd District of Nebraska and the nation, and I thank our constituents for trusting me to represent them. I am proud of the work we have done and will continue to do until the lights in the office are turned off for the last time. Thank you, and God bless America.”

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Villers-lès-Nancy (France), 30 June 2025 – 06:00 PM (CET)

    PRESS RELEASE

    EQUASENS ACQUIRES DIS AND RESURGENCES BUSINESSES, STRENGTHENING ITS POSITION IN THE MARKET OF SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS FOR HEALTHCARE ESTABLISHMENTS.

    Strengthening the position of a leading provider of software solutions for hospitals and the medical-social sector

    • Transaction finalised: acquisition of Novaprove, publisher of ResUrgences software and the DIS business assets, (GESDIS, FACDIS, ARCADIS ranges)
    • Acquisition scope: more than 300 customers in the public healthcare sector, with annual revenue of around €5 million
    • The AXIGATE LINK Division strengthens its position in the market of software solutions for public healthcare establishments
    • Industrial synergies: The AXIGATE LINK Division expands its range of digital products and services for health and medico-social establishments.

    ***

    Equasens Group (Euronext Paris™ – Compartment B – FR 0012882389 -$EQS), announces the completion of the acquisition on July 1, 2025, by its AXIGATE LINK Division through its subsidiary Axigate, of two businesses specialising in solutions for the public healthcare sector from a French software solutions editor.

    This strategic acquisition which is a product of the exclusive negotiations announced on 30 April will contribute to Equasens’ goal to significantly strengthen its position in the hospital and medico-social software market, by creating a complete technology ecosystem to support the digital transformation of public and private establishments.

    Scope and impact of the acquisition
    The acquired business assets cover more than 300 customers in the public healthcare sector and generate annual sales of around €5m. They include:

    • ResUrgences (Novaprove): a cloud-based software platform specialising in the management of hospital emergency services, equipping 8 university hospitals (CHU) and a total of 75 customers. This functionally reliable and robust technological solution optimises the management of emergency department patient flows and care delivery processes.
    • DIS range: digital solutions for public healthcare establishments. 215 sites are equipped with the DIS range, including 125 healthcare establishments (hospitals) and 90 medico-social establishments (mainly nursing homes). This range integrates the management of EPR (Electronic Patient Records), billing, accounting, business and financial management and HR management, including payroll management solutions. The suite also includes inventory and purchasing management, providing solutions for in-house pharmacies.

    These two activities have been integrated into the AXIGATE LINK Division, and will strengthen the HOSPILINK solution for Hospitals, Regional Hospital Groups (GHT) and specialised after-care and rehabilitation facilities and psychiatric facilities in France.

    Growth strategy in action
    This acquisition is fully in line with Equasens’ strategy for:

    • developing software solutions for public health establishments, a market with numerous renewal and equipment opportunities,
    • and strengthening the Group’s offering for both the private practice and hospital segments over the entire patient care pathway.

    The resulting technical and commercial synergies with the AXIGATE LINK Division’s existing solutions will be a major growth driver by optimising resources and accelerating innovation.

    This acquisition significantly reinforces the Group’s position as a key force in the transformation of the digital healthcare ecosystem, providing an even more precise and comprehensive solution for management and EPR (Electronic Patient Records) needs of healthcare establishments and their practitioners.

    An industrial growth model and future prospects
    The integration of these activities within the AXIGATE LINK Division reflects a clear industrial vision: to expand and complete its software offering for healthcare establishments by adding new technology building blocks to the AXIGATE LINK Division’s EPR solutions in various areas (accounting, billing, stock management and payroll).

    The short-term objective is to develop the new building blocks originating from the acquisition to be integrated into the existing AXIGATE LINK Division ranges: HOSPILINK (hospital), TITANLINK (nursing homes) and DOMILINK (home care). For ResUrgences, the aim is to strengthen this specialized range while integrating it into the HOSPILINK range as a full-fledged module.

    The medium-term objective is to create smooth, secure patient care pathways, by improving interoperability between the various services and users, based on our different solutions for institutions (emergency services, nursing homes, hospitals, hospital-at-home programmes, in-home nursing care services) and private healthcare practitioners (physicians, allied health professionals, pharmacies), by developing new functionalities based on artificial intelligence and data analysis, making it possible to retrieve information from patient records throughout the patient’s care pathway.

    Denis Supplisson, Chief Executive Officer of Equasens, commented: “This acquisition illustrates our determination to expand and diversify within our core business – software for both private practice and hospital healthcare professionals – by targeting opportunities that make industrial and economic sense. By integrating the ResUrgences and DIS ranges, we are combining the added value of our medico-social and healthcare offerings to meet the growing digital needs of healthcare establishments. Our goal is to become the technology partner of choice to support the transformation of the French healthcare system, by harnessing the potential of innovation to benefit people: improving the handling of administrative and medical tasks to save time for users. ”

    Grégoire de Rotalier, Deputy CEO of Equasens and Manager of the AXIGATE LINK Division, added: “For Equasens and the AXIGATE LINK Division, this quality acquisition significantly strengthens our presence in the public health sector, in terms of market share, expertise and product range. This acquisition further reinforces AXIGATE LINK’s strong position in the hospital, medico-social and home care sectors, and strengthens a team of 270 employees fully focused on serving 5,000 healthcare and medico-social establishment customers. ”

    Timetable and integration
    Operational integration of the teams and solutions will begin in Q3 2025, with a phased migration plan for customers to Equasens’ new technology platforms. Continuity of service is guaranteed throughout the transition period.

    Strengthening the position of a leading provider of software solutions for hospitals and the medical-social sector

    • Transaction finalised: acquisition of Novaprove, publisher of ResUrgences software and the DIS business assets, (GESDIS, FACDIS, ARCADIS ranges)
    • Acquisition scope: more than 300 customers in the public healthcare sector, with annual revenue of around €5 million
    • The AXIGATE LINK Division strengthens its position in the market of software solutions for public healthcare establishments
    • Industrial synergies: The AXIGATE LINK Division expands its range of digital products and services for health and medico-social establishments.

    ***

    Equasens Group (Euronext Paris™ – Compartment B – FR 0012882389 -$EQS), announces the completion of the acquisition on July 1, 2025, by its AXIGATE LINK Division through its subsidiary Axigate, of two businesses specialising in solutions for the public healthcare sector from a French software solutions editor.

    This strategic acquisition which is a product of the exclusive negotiations announced on 30 April will contribute to Equasens’ goal to significantly strengthen its position in the hospital and medico-social software market, by creating a complete technology ecosystem to support the digital transformation of public and private establishments.

    Scope and impact of the acquisition
    The acquired business assets cover more than 300 customers in the public healthcare sector and generate annual sales of around €5m. They include:

    • ResUrgences (Novaprove): a cloud-based software platform specialising in the management of hospital emergency services, equipping 8 university hospitals (CHU) and a total of 75 customers. This functionally reliable and robust technological solution optimises the management of emergency department patient flows and care delivery processes.
    • DIS range: digital solutions for public healthcare establishments. 215 sites are equipped with the DIS range, including 125 healthcare establishments (hospitals) and 90 medico-social establishments (mainly nursing homes). This range integrates the management of EPR (Electronic Patient Records), billing, accounting, business and financial management and HR management, including payroll management solutions. The suite also includes inventory and purchasing management, providing solutions for in-house pharmacies.

    These two activities have been integrated into the AXIGATE LINK Division, and will strengthen the HOSPILINK solution for Hospitals, Regional Hospital Groups (GHT) and specialised after-care and rehabilitation facilities and psychiatric facilities in France.

    Growth strategy in action
    This acquisition is fully in line with Equasens’ strategy for:

    • developing software solutions for public health establishments, a market with numerous renewal and equipment opportunities,
    • and strengthening the Group’s offering for both the private practice and hospital segments over the entire patient care pathway.

    The resulting technical and commercial synergies with the AXIGATE LINK Division’s existing solutions will be a major growth driver by optimising resources and accelerating innovation.

    This acquisition significantly reinforces the Group’s position as a key force in the transformation of the digital healthcare ecosystem, providing an even more precise and comprehensive solution for management and EPR (Electronic Patient Records) needs of healthcare establishments and their practitioners.

    An industrial growth model and future prospects
    The integration of these activities within the AXIGATE LINK Division reflects a clear industrial vision: to expand and complete its software offering for healthcare establishments by adding new technology building blocks to the AXIGATE LINK Division’s EPR solutions in various areas (accounting, billing, stock management and payroll).

    The short-term objective is to develop the new building blocks originating from the acquisition to be integrated into the existing AXIGATE LINK Division ranges: HOSPILINK (hospital), TITANLINK (nursing homes) and DOMILINK (home care). For ResUrgences, the aim is to strengthen this specialized range while integrating it into the HOSPILINK range as a full-fledged module.

    The medium-term objective is to create smooth, secure patient care pathways, by improving interoperability between the various services and users, based on our different solutions for institutions (emergency services, nursing homes, hospitals, hospital-at-home programmes, in-home nursing care services) and private healthcare practitioners (physicians, allied health professionals, pharmacies), by developing new functionalities based on artificial intelligence and data analysis, making it possible to retrieve information from patient records throughout the patient’s care pathway.

    Denis Supplisson, Chief Executive Officer of Equasens, commented: “This acquisition illustrates our determination to expand and diversify within our core business – software for both private practice and hospital healthcare professionals – by targeting opportunities that make industrial and economic sense. By integrating the ResUrgences and DIS ranges, we are combining the added value of our medico-social and healthcare offerings to meet the growing digital needs of healthcare establishments. Our goal is to become the technology partner of choice to support the transformation of the French healthcare system, by harnessing the potential of innovation to benefit people: improving the handling of administrative and medical tasks to save time for users. ”

    Grégoire de Rotalier, Deputy CEO of Equasens and Manager of the AXIGATE LINK Division, added: “For Equasens and the AXIGATE LINK Division, this quality acquisition significantly strengthens our presence in the public health sector, in terms of market share, expertise and product range. This acquisition further reinforces AXIGATE LINK’s strong position in the hospital, medico-social and home care sectors, and strengthens a team of 270 employees fully focused on serving 5,000 healthcare and medico-social establishment customers. ”

    Timetable and integration
    Operational integration of the teams and solutions will begin in Q3 2025, with a phased migration plan for customers to Equasens’ new technology platforms. Continuity of service is guaranteed throughout the transition period.

  • MIL-OSI: XRP News: Convert XRP To Fiat and Instantly Send To Any Bank Account In The World With Remittix

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fresh XRP news shows the token now has a 95% chance of ETF approval in 2025, up from 75% just weeks ago. Bloomberg analysts say recent talks with the SEC have been “very positive,” which marks a big shift in how digital assets are viewed.

    But while XRP waits, Remittix is already delivering. This rising PayFi project lets users convert XRP and other cryptos to fiat and send them instantly to any bank account worldwide. Its presale has raised over $15.8M, and with nearly 20,000 investors on board, many see it as XRP’s natural next step.

    This might just be the project that picks up where XRP left off and runs with it.

    Remittix Makes Crypto Payments as Easy as Sending a Text

    Sending money with crypto shouldn’t feel like rocket science, and with Remittix, it doesn’t. This platform lets you convert XRP (and other crypto) to fiat and send it straight to any bank account in the world, fast. No banks. No waiting days. No mystery fees.

    Everything’s instant, transparent, and works like it should. Remittix cuts out the middlemen, keeps costs super low, and even helps people in places where traditional banking is a mess. Whether you’re paying someone abroad, sending money home, or running a remote team, it just works.

    Source: Remittix

    It even supports stablecoins to dodge the usual crypto swings, and every transaction is recorded on the blockchain, so nothing gets lost or reversed. In short, Remittix makes sending money feel as easy as texting your friends, just way more useful.

    And yeah, it’s about time someone got this right.

    Over $15.8M Raised: Why Investors Are Calling It “XRP 2.0”

    While XRP news about a possible ETF has sparked fresh interest in Ripple, some investors are already looking ahead, and they’re calling Remittix the real evolution.

    The numbers don’t lie: Remittix has raised over $15.8 million in its presale and sold more than 546 million $RTX tokens. The price has already climbed from $0.0734 to $0.0781, with each round moving it higher. People who got in early? They’re already seeing green.

    Source: Remittix

    But this isn’t just about price. Investors are backing Remittix because it actually solves a problem, making international payments faster, cheaper, and way more accessible. No hype. No gimmicks. Just a project built on real-world utility.

    With nearly 20,000 investors on board, the momentum is clear. And with Remittix picking up where XRP started, but with fewer roadblocks, it’s easy to see why people are calling it “XRP 2.0.”

    Real Use Case, Real Tech: How Remittix Is Built for Mass Adoption

    Remittix is built to solve a real problem. The platform makes it easy to convert crypto into local fiat and send it straight to bank accounts, especially in regions where access to traditional banking is limited.

    Is Remittix the Next XRP?! New 10X Potential Crypto?!

    The $RTX token isn’t just for trading, either. It powers the ecosystem by unlocking fee discounts, giving users priority access, and soon, governance rights.

    It’s designed for everyday use, not speculation. That’s why more people are paying attention, because Remittix is made to last, not just moon.

    Conclusion

    With XRP ETF approval looking more likely than ever, crypto payments are entering a new era. But while XRP waits, Remittix is already delivering. Fast transfers, real utility, and over $15.8M raised, it’s clear investors see the future here. Don’t miss your chance to get in early.

  • MIL-OSI: Remittix Unveil New Crypto Wallet With Revolutionary New Way To Send Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin and More

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sending crypto still feels way harder than it should. And it doesn’t matter if it’s Ethereum, Solana, or Dogecoin, you’ve got gas fees, delays, weird addresses. Plus, there’s a whole fiat thing if someone needs actual cash.

    Well, Remittix just fixed all that.

    Their new crypto wallet makes sending crypto feel like sending a text. You can move ETH, SOL, DOGE, and more, and even send it straight to a bank account, no matter where the person is. Fast, simple, and no middlemen. This could seriously change the game for crypto payments.

    A Wallet That Works Across Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin and More

    If you’re tired of juggling different wallets for different coins, Remittix has your back. The new wallet lets you manage Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin, and a bunch of other cryptos all in one simple place.

    It’s non-custodial, which means you control your crypto, no third parties, no one else touching your funds. You can trade, swap, send, or just hold without any hassle. And here’s the best part: Remittix doesn’t collect your data. No IP tracking, no location snooping, nothing.

    Source: Remittix

    It’s built with serious security, works across devices, and doesn’t rely on some sketchy centralized server that might go down. Everything stays private, fast, and smooth.

    No matter if you’re new to crypto or have been in it for years, this wallet keeps things simple. You get full control over your coins without the usual stress or complications.

    Send Crypto to Bank Accounts in Seconds – No Middlemen with Remittix

    With Remittix, you can now send crypto straight to a bank account, no middlemen, no delays, no extra steps.

    It works with tons of coins, and it gives the convenience you need. Simply, just open the wallet, choose your crypto, and send. It’s converted to fiat and lands in the bank account fast. Simple as that.

    UNLOCKING! Remittix A 2025 MUST-HAVE!

    No exchanges. No wire transfers. No waiting days for money to show up. This is a direct line from your wallet to someone’s bank, whether they’re across the street or across the world.

    And because it’s all handled through Remittix’s own system, you avoid the usual headaches and fees. Everything stays secure, quick, and in your control. If you’ve ever wanted crypto to work like real money, this is it. Remittix made it possible.

    Why This Could Be the Future of Everyday Crypto Payments

    This isn’t just about convenience. It’s about access. Around 1.4 billion people still don’t have reliable banking. Remittix makes it possible for anyone with a smartphone to send, receive, and convert crypto into real-world cash safely and quickly.

    What also makes Remittix stand out is its tokenomics. The $RTX token powers the ecosystem. Users get fee discounts, priority access, and even a say in how the platform evolves through governance features. The token is designed to be used, not just traded, helping drive real demand.

    Source: Remittix

    With smart contracts, microtransaction support, and a focus on real-world problems, Remittix isn’t following trends; it’s building the future of everyday crypto payments.

    Conclusion

  • MIL-OSI: BexBack Unveils Limited NO KYC,100x Leverage and 100% Deposit Bonus Match to Empower Crypto Futures Traders

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Bitcoin hovers near the $100,000 mark and market volatility intensifies, BexBack Exchange has announced a new limited-time promotional campaign designed to help traders maximize their potential returns. Starting today, all new users who deposit and complete one trade within seven days will receive a $50 USDT-M welcome bonus, along with a 100% deposit, match to double their trading capital. Combined with up to 100x leverage and zero KYC requirements, this promotion positions BexBack as a powerful entry point for both beginners and advanced futures traders navigating today’s unpredictable crypto landscape.

    Advantages of 100x Leverage Crypto Futures

    1. Amplified Profits: Control large positions with a small amount of capital, capturing more profits from market fluctuations.
    2. Low Capital Requirement: Participate in high-value trades with minimal investment, lowering the entry barrier.
    3. Increased Market Opportunities: Profit quickly from price fluctuations, especially in volatile markets.
    4. High Capital Efficiency: Leverage enables better use of your capital, expanding your investment potential.
    5. Profit from Both Up and Down Markets: Adapt to any market conditions, with opportunities to profit whether the market goes up or down.

    What Is 100x Leverage and How Does It Work?

    Simply put, 100x leverage allows you to open larger trading positions with less capital. For example:

    Suppose the Bitcoin price is $100,000 that day, and you open a long contract with 1 BTC. After using 100x leverage, the transaction amount is equivalent to 100 BTC.

    One day later, if the price rises to $105,000, your profit will be (105,000 – 100,000) * 100 BTC / 100,000 = 5 BTC, a yield of up to 500%.

    With BexBack’s deposit bonus

    BexBack offers a 100% deposit bonus. If the initial investment is 2 BTC, the profit will increase to 10 BTC, and the return on investment will double to 1000%.

    Note: Although leveraged trading can magnify profits, you also need to be wary of liquidation risks.

    How Does the 100% Deposit Bonus Work?
    The deposit bonus from BexBack cannot be directly withdrawn but can be used to open larger positions and increase potential profits. Additionally, during significant market fluctuations, the bonus can serve as extra margin, effectively reducing the risk of liquidation.

    EDB holds first “Digital Education Week 2025” kick-off ceremony with EdCity to enlighten future talents with innovative education  
    The officiating guests of the launching ceremony include Dr Choi, the First-level Inspector of the Department of Educational, Scientific and Technological Affairs of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Mr Liu Maozhou, the Permanent Secretary for Education, Ms Michelle Li, the Under Secretary for Education, Dr Sze Chun-fai, Deputy Secretary for Education, Dr Gloria Chan, Mr Armstrong Lee Hon-cheung, the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Language Education and Research (SCOLAR), Dr Anissa Chan Wong Lai-kuen, the Founder and Honorary President and the chairwoman of the Steering Committee of the Smart City Consortium, the Hon Elizabeth Quat and the Chairman of the QEF Steering Committee, Mr Dieter Yih Lai-tak, witnessing an important milestone of digital education development in Hong Kong together.

    To dovetail with the national development of digital education and to nurture talents for the innovation and technology (I&T) sector, the Chief Executive announced the formation of the Steering Committee on Strategic Development of Digital Education in the 2024 Policy Address. The Committee has identified four key focuses and strategic directions, namely to enhance students’ digital literacy and skills, to strengthen professional training in digital education for teachers, to optimise digital education ancillary infrastructure, as well as to strengthen ties between local, Mainland and international innovation and technology institutions, tertiary institutions, and relevant sectors to enhance synergy and promote high-quality development of digital education. The EDB has rolled out a series of activities, including organising multiple engagement sessions with stakeholders to gauge views on the development of digital education in the schools in Hong Kong. The Committee members also conducted school visits to understand of the latest progress of the implementation of digital education in schools. 
     
    Speaking at the kick-off ceremony of the Digital Education Week, Dr Choi said, “the first Digital Education Week features a wide range of enriching programmes, including the annual flagship event for the education sector, Learning & Teaching Expo 2025, as well as the International Summit on the Use of AI in Learning and Teaching Languages and Other Subjects and Post-Summit Workshop Series. These functions enable teachers to stay abreast of the latest developments in I&T and digital education, fostering professional exchanges and enhancing the effectiveness of learning and teaching. As a close partner of the EDB, the EdCity is stepping up its full efforts to promote digital education and continues to leverage on its advantages to promote the application and education of AI and computational thinking, and enhancing students’ digital literacy and skills.” Dr Choi looked forward to working in collaboration with the community to promote the deep integration of I&T and nurture more I&T talent, thereby contributing to the building of a leading country in education and a strong nation in science and technology.
     
    The Learning & Teaching Expo 2025 will bring together global educational technology resources, set up nearly 600 booths, and host more than 270 keynote speeches, seminars and public demonstration classes to fully showcase the latest teaching solutions and technology trends. While the International Summit on AIinLT will gather education experts from home and abroad to discuss the practical application of AI in various disciplines through 100 paper presentations, teaching demonstrations and 11 in-depth workshops, helping teachers and students enhance their AI literacy.
     
    Mr Lee said, “The Digital Education Week is not just an event, it is an important milestone in shaping the future of education in Hong Kong. As a wholly owned government organisation, the EdCity has been committed to promoting information technology education in Hong Kong, providing an interactive learning platform for teachers, students and parents, and contributing diversified resources and support to enhance teaching effectiveness, promote holistic development and lifelong learning. This year’s expo has newly added a Mainland China Zone, an International Pavilion and an I&T Exchange Circle. The EdCity hopes to further expand the AI education ecosystem to Mainland China and overseas, presenting the most novel and effective innovative education solutions and products from around the world to the Hong Kong education sector, and enhancing the quality of learning and teaching.”
     
    At the event, the EDB announced that the first batch of three deliverables in the e-Learning Ancillary Facilities Programme, which was funded by a provision of $500 million from the QEF, are officially rolled out today. The deliverables of the projects will also be exhibited at the Learning & Teaching Expo 2025 for teachers and students to experience. The programme provides 22 innovative e-learning solutions for primary and secondary, kindergarten and special education students in Hong Kong, 18 of which incorporate AI technology. Three of the project leaders briefed the guests on the functions and vision of the projects.
     
    Dr Anissa Chan said, “Schools and teachers have a key role to play in guiding students to use and control new technologies in an orderly and appropriate manner, rather than being controlled by them. Therefore, while embracing innovative technologies, the education sector should also be equipped with the skills to utilise AI. The inaugural International Summit on the Use of AI in Learning and Teaching Languages and Other Subjects & Post-Summit Workshop Series, co-organised by the EDB, SCOLAR, EdCity, and the Department of English and Communication of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, aims to provide a valuable platform for teachers, researchers and others in the education sector to learn from each other and to share their own insights on the use of AI in the education sector”.
     
    In addition, witnessed by Dr Choi and Mr Lee, the Executive Director of EdCity, Dr Tenny Lam, signed cooperation agreements with the Association of I.T. Leaders in Education (AiTLE), Hong Kong Qianfan Technology and the Hong Kong Association for Computer Education (HKACE) respectively to further promote the development of digital education in Hong Kong. The EDB praised the HKACE and the AiTLE for their contributions to the development of digital education over the years, and also thanked Hong Kong Qianfan Technology and the EdCity for their collaboration to launch innovative projects to support digital education, with a view to introducing innovative technologies to the academic sector and helping the digital transformation of education.

  • MIL-OSI: Robinhood Launches Stock Tokens, Reveals Layer 2 Blockchain, and Expands Crypto Suite in EU and US with Perpetual Futures and Staking

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Robinhood Stock Tokens will allow EU customers to get exposure to the US stock market

    Robinhood will also launch a new Layer 2 blockchain to power the tokenization of Real World Assets

    MENLO PARK, Calif., June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, at Robinhood Presents: To Catch a Token in Cannes, France, we unveiled a suite of new products that mark a major step forward for crypto. From expanding Robinhood to over 400 million people across 30 EU and EEA countries, to launching stock and ETF tokens, we’re building toward a future where investing is simpler, smarter, and more accessible worldwide.

    “Our latest offerings lay the groundwork for crypto to become the backbone of the global financial system,” said Robinhood Chairman and CEO Vlad Tenev.

    Tokenization and Layer 2 Blockchain

    We’ve launched US stock and ETF tokens in the EU, giving eligible customers exposure to US equities with Robinhood Stock Tokens—featuring zero commissions or added spreads from Robinhood (other fees may apply), dividend support, and 24/5 access. With tokenized stocks, our European app transitions from being a crypto-only app to an all-in-one investment app powered by crypto.

    European customers will have access to 200+ US stock and ETF tokens. Stock token holders will also receive dividend payments directly in their app.

    “Crypto was built by engineers for engineers, and has not been accessible to most people,” said Johann Kerbrat, GM and SVP of Robinhood Crypto. “We’re onboarding the world to crypto by making it as easy to use as possible—with the goal of bringing powerful tools into one intuitive platform.”

    Stock tokens will initially be issued on Arbitrum. In the future, tokenized stocks will be facilitated by our very own Robinhood Layer 2 blockchain, based on Arbitrum. Currently in development, the Robinhood blockchain will be optimized for tokenized real-world assets and built to support 24/7 trading, seamless bridging, and self-custody.

    Perpetual Futures

    We are introducing crypto perpetual futures in the EU, where we will offer eligible customers access to a new class of derivatives with continuous exposure and up to 3x leverage. Perpetuals will be 100% rolled out to eligible customers by the end of the summer. Designed to help reduce the complexity typically associated with trading perpetuals, we built our interface with intuitive controls for setting position size and managing margin. Orders are routed through Bitstamp’s perpetual futures exchange.

    This launch will mark an important step in serving active traders across the globe with advanced trading tools in an intuitive platform.

    Crypto Staking in the US

    Crypto staking is launching to eligible US customers, starting with Ethereum and Solana. With our user-friendly interface, you can now participate in blockchain ecosystems and access competitive reward rates by contributing to network operations. Crypto staking is also available to all Robinhood customers in the EU and EEA.

    Expanded Product Suite

    There’s more—we’ve rolled out a suite of new products to make trading crypto on Robinhood even more powerful and seamless.

    • Instant Boost on Crypto Deposits: For a limited time, U and EU investors can transfer crypto into Robinhood and earn a 1% deposit boost—with the chance to double it to 2% if total deposits hit the $500M goal.
    • Crypto Credit Card Rewards: The Robinhood Gold Credit Card gives US customers cash back on purchases—across all categories. Coming this fall, customers can use those rewards to purchase crypto automatically.
    • Cortex for Crypto: Our US feature, Cortex, an AI-powered investing assistant, will be available later this year. Robinhood Gold members can see curated insights, trends, and event-driven market analysis right inside each token’s detail page. It’s designed to help customers quickly understand price movement and market shifts in real time.
    • Smart Exchange Routing: Smart exchange routing evaluates multiple partner exchanges and routes your order to get the best available price across them. Soon, all orders placed through Smart Exchange Routing will qualify for fee tiers, meaning the more you trade, the lower your rate— based on your trailing 30-day trading volume. API support is coming soon.
    • Tax Lots: US customers can also now view and sell specific tax lots for crypto trades, allowing you to strategically choose which lots to sell.
    • Advanced Charts: Advanced charts from Robinhood Legend are coming to mobile, starting with equities and expanding to crypto in August.

  • MIL-OSI: Lightchain AI Enters Final Bonus Round After Raising $21M Ahead of July 2025 Mainnet Launch

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SHREWSBURY, United Kingdom, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lightchain AI, the AI-native blockchain protocol enabling intelligent on-chain computation, has officially entered its Final Bonus Round after successfully raising over $21 million across 15 structured presale stages. This marks the last opportunity for early participants to access the platform before its mainnet launch in July 2025.

    With a mission to enable autonomous intelligence on-chain, Lightchain AI is building decentralized infrastructure optimized for real-time artificial intelligence execution. By combining AI-specialized computation, scalable architecture, and a fair validator-driven consensus model, the platform offers developers, builders, and researchers a robust foundation for next-generation decentralized AI applications.

    A Blockchain Purpose-Built for AI

    At the heart of Lightchain AI is its Artificial Intelligence Virtual Machine (AIVM)—a next-gen execution environment tailored for AI logic, machine learning workflows, and intelligent agents. Paired with a novel Proof of Intelligence (PoI)consensus mechanism, the protocol incentivizes nodes to perform useful AI computation that strengthens the network while enabling practical, real-world use cases.

    Lightchain AI’s infrastructure supports low-latency processing, seamless scalability through sharding, and transparent AI operations auditable via its Transparent AI Framework. From data analytics to autonomous decision-making, the network provides an end-to-end environment for deploying AI in a decentralized, accountable, and secure way.

    Community-Led Ecosystem Development

    A defining characteristic of Lightchain AI’s growth is its commitment to transparency and community-first token distribution. The initial 5% team token allocation has been fully reallocated to ecosystem growth, developer grants, validator support, and infrastructure funding. This move reinforces the project’s builder-centric approach and long-term decentralization goals.

    In preparation for mainnet, Lightchain AI has launched a $150,000 grant program to support developers building tools, dApps, and infrastructure. The platform’s Developer Portal offers streamlined onboarding through accessible APIs, SDKs, and comprehensive documentation. Meanwhile, Lightchain’s public GitHub repositories are set to go live shortly, enabling open-source contributions and transparent development.

    Final Bonus Round Now Live

    With over $21 million already raised, Lightchain AI has now opened its Final Bonus Round—an exclusive phase for contributors who missed the initial presale stages. This round offers fixed pricing and access to unique ecosystem incentives designed to reward early community participation.

    “We’re proud of the incredible support Lightchain AI has received from the community, investors, and developers,” said a Lightchain AI spokesperson. “The Final Bonus Round is the last opportunity to join the network before we launch mainnet and begin onboarding intelligent dApps at scale.”

    Key Milestones Ahead

    As the Lightchain AI team approaches mainnet readiness, several milestones are planned for Q3 2025:

    • Mainnet Launch: Scheduled for July 2025
    • GitHub Repository Launch: Imminent for open-source development
    • Validator Node Program: Actively onboarding global participants
    • Developer Toolkits: Available now via the Developer Portal
    • Ecosystem Grants: Ongoing through the $150K grant pool

    By fusing blockchain’s decentralization with AI’s computational power, Lightchain AI is pioneering an entirely new category of infrastructure—one where intelligence is not just on-chain, but autonomous, efficient, and equitable.

    Learn More and Participate

    Lightchain AI invites all builders, researchers, validators, and contributors to join the Final Bonus Round and become part of a decentralized intelligence revolution.

    President Droupadi Murmu attended the first convocation ceremony of AIIMS Gorakhpur on Monday, marking a milestone in the institute’s journey as a centre of medical excellence in eastern Uttar Pradesh.

    Addressing the gathering, the President praised the AIIMS network for symbolising India’s advanced medical capabilities. She said that the name “AIIMS” evokes an image of world-class treatment, cutting-edge technology, and dedicated healthcare professionals. Highlighting the institution’s achievements, she stated that AIIMS has become a model for medical education, research, and patient care across the country.

    She said, “Whether it is innovative surgical techniques, early diagnostic tools, or integrated treatments using both AYUSH and allopathy, AIIMS institutions have set new benchmarks in the medical field.”

    She added that the AIIMS model has successfully fulfilled the vision behind the establishment of India’s first such institution.

    The President lauded AIIMS Gorakhpur for making rapid progress in academics, research, and healthcare services in a short span. She noted that the institute is providing affordable and accessible health services, especially benefiting citizens in eastern Uttar Pradesh as well as neighbouring regions of Bihar and Nepal.

    Highlighting the crucial role of doctors in nation-building, President Murmu said, “Doctors not only heal individuals but also contribute to building a healthier, more productive society.” She urged the young graduates to dedicate themselves to serving underserved communities, especially in rural and tribal areas where quality healthcare is still lacking.

    The President also emphasised the importance of empathy in the medical profession. She called upon medical institutions to instil in students the values of compassion, communication, and trust-building, alongside clinical excellence. “Medicine is not just a profession—it is a service to humanity. Compassion and honesty must become part of your personality,” she advised the young doctors.

    President Murmu concluded her address by expressing confidence that AIIMS Gorakhpur will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering top-quality medical care and shaping a healthier India.

    The convocation ceremony was attended by faculty, students, dignitaries, and medical professionals from across the region.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: 30 June 2025 News release Suriname certified malaria-free by WHO

    Source: World Health Organisation

    Today, Suriname became the first country in the Amazon region to receive malaria-free certification from the World Health Organization (WHO). This historic milestone follows nearly 70 years of commitment by the government and people of Suriname to eliminate the disease across its vast rainforests and diverse communities.

    “WHO congratulates Suriname on this remarkable achievement,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “This certification is a powerful affirmation of the principle that everyone—regardless of nationality, background, or migration status—deserves universal access to malaria diagnosis and treatment. Suriname’s steadfast commitment to health equity serves as an inspiration to all countries striving for a malaria-free future.”

    With today’s announcement, a total of 46 countries and 1 territory have been certified as malaria-free by WHO, including 12 countries in the Region of the Americas.

    “Suriname did what was needed to eliminate malaria—detecting and treating every case quickly, investigating to prevent spread, and engaging communities,” said Dr Jarbas Barbosa, Director of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), WHO’s regional office for the Americas. “This certification reflects years of sustained effort, especially reaching remote areas. It means future generations can grow up free from this potentially deadly disease.”

    Certification of malaria elimination is granted by WHO when a country has proven, beyond reasonable doubt, that the chain of indigenous transmission has been interrupted nationwide for at least the previous three consecutive years.

    Dr Amar Ramadhin, Minister of Health of Suriname, stated: “Being malaria-free means that our population is no longer at risk from malaria. Furthermore, eliminating malaria will have positive effects on our healthcare sector, boost the economy, and enhance tourism.

    “At the same time, we recognize that maintaining this status requires ongoing vigilance. We must continue to take the necessary measures to prevent the reintroduction of malaria. We are proud that our communities are now protected, and we look forward to welcoming more visitors to our beautiful Suriname—while remaining fully committed to safeguarding these hard-won gains.”

    Suriname’s road to elimination

    Suriname’s malaria control efforts began in 1950s in the country’s densely-populated coastal areas, relying heavily on indoor spraying with the pesticide DDT and antimalarial treatment. By the 1960s, the coastal areas had become malaria-free and attention turned towards the country’s forested interior, home to diverse indigenous and tribal communities.

    Although indoor spraying was successful in coastal areas, its impact was limited in the country’s interior due to the prevalence of traditional open-style homes that offer minimal protection against mosquitoes. In 1974 malaria control in the interior was decentralized to Medische Zending, Suriname’s primary health care service, which recruited and trained healthcare workers from the local communities to provide early diagnosis and treatment.

    The surge in mining activities, particularly gold mining which often involves travel between malaria-endemic areas, led to increases in malaria, reaching a peak of more than 15 000 cases in 2001, the highest transmission rates of malaria in the Americas.

    Since 2005, with support from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the capacity to provide diagnosis was greatly expanded with both improvements in microscopy and the use of rapid diagnostic tests, particularly among mobile groups. Artemisinin-based treatments with primaquine were introduced in Suriname and neighboring countries through PAHO-led studies under the Amazon Malaria Initiative (AMI-RAVREDA), supported by the United States. Prevention among high-risk groups was also strengthened through the distribution of insecticide-treated nets funded by the Global Fund.

    By 2006, malaria had drastically decreased among the indigenous populations, prompting Suriname to shift its focus to high-risk mobile populations in remote mining areas. To reach these groups—many of whom were migrants from neighboring endemic countries—the country established a network of Malaria Service Deliverers, recruited directly from the mining communities. These trained and supervised community workers provide free malaria diagnosis, treatment, and prevention services, playing a vital role in closing access gaps in hard-to-reach regions.

    Through ensuring universal access to diagnosis and treatment regardless of legal status, deploying an extensive network of community health workers, and implementing nationwide malaria screening, including at border crossings, Suriname successfully eliminated malaria. The last locally transmitted case of Plasmodium falciparum malaria was recorded in 2018, followed by the final Plasmodium vivax case in 2021.

    Sustained leadership commitment and funding

    The government of Suriname has shown strong commitment to malaria elimination, including through the National Malaria Elimination Taskforce, Malaria Program, Malaria Elimination Fund, and cross-border collaboration with Brazil, Guyana and French Guiana. For many years PAHO/WHO, with the support of the U.S. Government, has provided technical cooperation throughout Suriname’s anti-malaria campaign. Since 2016 Suriname also participated in the “Elimination 2025” initiative – a group of countries identified by WHO as having the potential to eliminate malaria by 2025.

    This success in Suriname is a demonstration that malaria elimination is possible in challenging contexts in the Amazon basin and in tropical continental countries. The country’s malaria-free certification plays a critical role in advancing PAHO’s Disease Elimination Initiative which aims to eliminate more than 30 communicable diseases, including malaria, in countries of the Americas by 2030.

    Note to the editor

    WHO malaria-free certification

    The final decision on awarding a malaria-free certification is made by the WHO Director-General, based on a recommendation by the Technical Advisory Group on Malaria Elimination and Certification and validation from the Malaria Policy Advisory Group.

    After a groundbreaking year, Canada and Germany concluded their historic co-chairship of the Eureka Network. For the first time in the network’s history, 2 countries jointly led the world’s largest public network for research and innovation. 

    The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and Germany’s Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) led the year-long co-chairship, which ran from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. Together, the co-chairs advanced the strategic goals of Eureka, facilitated new partnerships, and supported research and innovation projects across various industries and countries.

    Major milestones from the Canada-Germany Eureka co-chairship:

    • Circular Value Creation (CVC) call for proposals: A key initiative of the co-chairship focused on sustainability and resource efficiency, inviting participation from 17 countries. This is the largest joint call across Eureka in its history. The CVC call remains open until September 2025, providing exciting opportunities for innovators to work with international partners in the circular economy space.
    • Expanded global partnerships: One of the co-chairship’s most significant achievements was the strategic expansion of Eureka’s role within both the European and global innovation ecosystems. This includes the development of a joint action plan to strengthen cooperation between Eureka and the European Union in the medium to long term. The year also included the successful re-association of Singapore, which further enhances Eureka’s global outreach and fosters greater cross-regional collaboration. 
    • Impactful research and innovation opportunities: During the co-chairship, Eureka initiated several innovative bilateral and multilateral calls for proposals, focusing on areas such as light weighting and disaster resilience for climate solutions. These calls paved the way for groundbreaking innovation in addressing critical global challenges.
    • Eureka Global Innovation Summit 2025: A key highlight of the co-chairship was the Eureka Global Innovation Summit (GIS), held in April 2025 during Hannover Messe. The summit attracted more than 900 participants from around the world, including government ministers, industry leaders, and R&D experts. Canada had a strong delegation of companies who took full advantage of matchmaking opportunities, pitching sessions, and various B2B engagements designed to help create connections with potential R&D partners.

    Looking ahead 

    With the conclusion of the Canada–Germany co-chairship, the baton has officially passed to Switzerland for the 2025–2026 term. Canada remains fully committed to global collaborative innovation. As we move forward, we will continue to work side by side with our global partners — going further together.

  • MIL-OSI: Fortinet Named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure for the Second Year in a Row

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

    News Summary

    Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced it has been recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure for the second year in a row.  

    Fortinet believes this recognition reflects the strength of its industry-leading secure LAN edge portfolio, including secure networking solutions such as FortiSwitch and FortiAP. The portfolio is fully integrated with the Fortinet Security Fabric and powered by a single operating system, FortiOS, to deliver converged networking and security.

    “Unlike traditional networking solutions that bolt security on after the fact, the Fortinet wired and wireless LAN portfolio was developed from the ground up with built-in AI-powered security and AI-assisted network operations. This convergence enables customers to simplify operations, improve performance, and extend security from IT into OT environments. We believe this is what continues to set Fortinet apart and make us a leader in this market,” said Nirav Shah, Senior Vice President, Products and Solutions, at Fortinet.

    The Fortinet Secure LAN Edge portfolio addresses evolving customer needs and delivers key benefits, including:

    • Pervasive, built-in security at the LAN edge to reduce cyber risk: Customers can deploy intuitive architectures with integrated security and AI-assisted management via FortiAI. Fortinet’s simplified licensing model avoids the complexity of managing multiple add-on subscriptions.
    • Stronger IT and OT convergence through a unified platform: As organizations demand more of their networks while navigating staffing shortages and the cybersecurity skills gap, it becomes increasingly difficult for limited staff to maintain and secure their networks. Fortinet reduces this burden with a single platform approach that minimizes misconfigurations, eases day-to-day operations, and delivers AI-driven insights across Fortinet’s wired and wireless LAN solutions.
    • Consistent capabilities and intuitive licensing to reduce cost and complexity: Fortinet’s wired and wireless LAN solutions provide enterprise-grade flexibility without trade-offs, reducing network risk and simplifying operations without inflating costs.

    These capabilities are all delivered through a single operating system, FortiOS, which powers the Fortinet Security Fabric across the networking and security domains.

    Customer Recognition
    Fortinet has also been recognized in the 2024 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure as a Customers’ Choice for the seventh consecutive time.

    “One of the big reasons we chose Fortinet is that their networking tools are built from the ground up with security in mind… With the Fortinet solutions, our network speed has been amazing. We used to receive frequent performance-related complaints from end-users, but we have heard zero complaints since we deployed the Fortinet networking solutions.”

    “FortiAPs have better availability than their competitors and easier, single-pane-of-glass management. We considered an unmanaged AP, but when we realized how tightly FortiAP integrates with the Fortinet Security Fabric, the decision was a nobrainer. We expect the FortiSwitches and FortiAPs to work together to paint a very complete security picture for our team.”

  • MIL-OSI: KnowBe4 Announces New Assessment Tool to Enable Data-Driven Security Culture Improvements

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TAMPA BAY, FL, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — KnowBe4, the world-renowned cybersecurity platform that comprehensively addresses human risk management, released today the KnowBe4 Program Maturity Assessment (PMA), a free, strategic tool designed to help IT and cybersecurity leaders measure and improve their organization’s security culture—starting with the people.

    As human actions are targeted and exploited by attackers with increased sophistication, organizations need clarity on what is working and how to measure improvement. According to KnowBe4’s Security Culture: How-To Guide, security culture is one of the strongest predictors of secure behavior, yet few organizations have the tools to assess and manage it effectively.

    Created by security culture expert Perry Carpenter, the PMA offers a structured, practical self-assessment framework focused on Human Risk Management (HRM). Unlike technical assessments or consultant-heavy frameworks, the PMA delivers actionable insights across ten critical dimensions of security culture—without the jargon. It translates abstract cybersecurity concepts into concrete actions that organizations can take immediately, regardless of size or industry.

    Key Features of the PMA:

    • Holistic Evaluation: Examines leadership, employee behavior and business process integration
    • Objective Scoring: Provides clear, quantifiable results across 40 Culture Maturity Indicators (CMIs)
    • Identify Gaps: Pinpoints exact areas of weakness, from employee mindset to executive communication
    • Strategic Roadmap: Offers customized recommendations based on maturity level
    • Actionable Next Steps: Delivers next steps to strengthen the human firewall

    After completing the assessment, users receive a personalized maturity classification on a five-level scale, visual feedback across all dimensions, and prioritized recommendations. Those looking to deepen their efforts can opt into a follow-up consultation to explore how the KnowBe4 HRM+ platform can accelerate maturity and build a lasting security culture.

    “Every meaningful program requires clarity: clarity of purpose and clarity of impact. This is especially true with Human Risk Management programs where lack of clarity and impact will leave an organization exposed in ways they may not appreciate.” said Perry Carpenter, chief human risk management strategist at KnowBe4. “Organizations need a way to demonstrate effectiveness of their human risk management program and  show leadership its value. This is especially true when programs fail to account for the human element—employees whose everyday decisions significantly impact organizational security. The PMA offers a clear, data-driven approach that helps leaders identify key areas for improvement, allocate resources more effectively, and build a stronger, more resilient security culture. It’s about giving organizations the insight they need to make informed decisions and foster lasting cultural change.”

    News story

    New Permanent Secretary at Department for Science, Innovation and Technology

    Emram Mian has been appointed as the new Permanent Secretary at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, replacing Sarah Munby

    The Cabinet Secretary, with the approval of the Prime Minister, has today (Monday, 30 June) announced the appointment of Emran Mian as the new Permanent Secretary of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).

    Emran is currently Director General for Digital Technologies and Telecoms at DSIT, where he is responsible for programmes to make the UK one of the best places in the world to undertake AI research and to build an AI company, covering data use and access policy, cybersecurity policy and online safety.

    He has previously held roles in the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government as a Director General for Regeneration, Housing and Planning, and Director General for Stronger Places, and at the Department for Education as Director General for Strategy and International.

    Emran, replacing Sarah Munby, will lead the department at a critical time as the Government drives innovation and investment through the UK’s world-class science sector, and aims to harness new technologies to deliver growth and renewal for working people through the Plan for Change. 

    Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, Peter Kyle, said:

    Emran will be an outstanding Permanent Secretary with exceptional experience and vision. I have had the pleasure of working with him closely since I became Secretary of State and he knows this department inside out. 

    Under his leadership, DSIT will go from strength to strength in harnessing the power of science and technology to improve people’s lives across the UK, playing a central role in delivering our Plan for Change. 

    I also want to place on record my thanks to and deep appreciation for Sarah Munby, not only for her personal support to me but for her service to the country at large during her years in the civil service. She has helped to navigate several of the most complex challenges facing the government of the day under five Prime Ministers and wherever she goes next will be extremely lucky to have her.

    Cabinet Secretary, Sir Chris Wormald, said:

    I congratulate Emran Mian on his appointment as Permanent Secretary at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, and I thank Sarah Munby for her leadership of the department since February 2023. 

    Emran brings significant experience into this role from his time as Director General for Digital Technologies and Telecoms, and previous roles at the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, and the Department for Education. 

    He is well placed to take on the opportunities of this exciting post, and lead the Government’s delivery of the blueprint for modern digital government as part of the Plan for Change.

    Emran Mian said:

    I applied for this role because I am hugely optimistic about how science, technology and AI can improve lives, government services and economic growth. At this moment there is no cap on how ambitious we should be for our country. 

    I am grateful to Sarah Munby for her leadership of DSIT since the department was created. It is a privilege to take the work forward with colleagues across the department and wider government, working closely with scientists, inventors, entrepreneurs, businesses and civil society.

    The appointment follows an external recruitment competition overseen by the independent Civil Service Commission.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: New cooperation in logistics: GUU and TransContainer signed an agreement

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: State University of Management – Official website of the State –

    On June 30, the State University of Management and the leading Russian container operator TransContainer signed a cooperation agreement.

    Representatives of the company, represented by HR Director Oleg Novikov and Deputy HR Director Ekaterina Balykina, who are graduates of the educational programs of the State University of Management, arrived at the university to meet with the management.

    Rector Vladimir Stroyev, vice-rectors Dmitry Bryukhanov and Maria Karelina, as well as associate professor of the Department of Transport Complex Management Artem Merenkov spoke about the history of the university, discussed the future of the industry and priority formats of interaction.

    “Historically, one of the first logistics departments was established at our university, back in the days of Sergo Ordzhonikidze. Of course, the name was different, but that doesn’t change the essence. Of course, there were also railway universities back then, but they were only looking at one area, while we trained transport hub managers in a more global sense and in different areas. Today is the time for quick actions and decisions, so it is especially important that we signed the agreement in the shortest possible time. Now it’s time for specific working steps,” Vladimir Stroyev noted.

    Dmitry Bryukhanov spoke about project-based learning, which is carried out at the State University of Management from the first year, and also drew attention to the possibility of interaction within the framework of the work of the State University of Management Higher School of Business and Technology.

    Oleg Novikov also confirmed his readiness to implement joint projects.

    “We are extremely interested in cooperation. Today is the time when personnel must be forged before they are intercepted. Literally 5-7 years ago we were monopolists, but now there are many competitors, albeit on a smaller scale, but they exist. First of all, we are interested in attracting students for internships in order to assess their abilities and readiness for employment. We are also interested in project activities, since we have ideas that we would like to implement, and we are confident that students of the State University of Management will help with this,” concluded the representative of TransContainer.

    The parties also agreed on the possibility of conducting introductory tours for students at the company’s enterprises and practical classes from TransContainer experts.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Mukuru and Payfast Deliver on the Promise of Online Shopping for Cash-Paying South Africans

    South Africa’s predominantly cash-based economy is making significant inroads into the e-commerce sector, thanks to the growing success of the partnership between financial services platform Mukuru (www.Mukuru.com) and payment gateway Payfast by Network. For over a year, the two businesses have been enabling access to online shopping for cash-paying South Africans. Through MukuruPay (MPay), cash-first customers can now participate in digital commerce, unlocking new market segments for thousands of local retailers. 

    The partnership’s success stems from its ability to address a long-standing gap in the e-commerce market—the exclusion of millions of South Africans who prefer or rely on cash. A recent Payfast (https://apo-opa.co/4eMSDXX) “State of Pay” report shows that cash is the fourth preferred payment methods for customers and competes with widely used options such as card, open banking/ instant EFT and QR code. Likewise, an SBV Cash Survey 2024 (https://apo-opa.co/40shqdC) white paper outlines that 22% (over 13 million) of South Africans are cash-reliant and are not willing or cannot switch to other forms of payment. The study reveals that this group is vulnerable in the shift to digital services, despite holding immense economic potential.  

    Mukuru’s partnership with Payfast is helping to bridge the gap between cash and digital commerce by making e-commerce more accessible to cash-first consumers in South Africa. Throughout 2024, the company has seen a growing number of businesses adopt its payment option via Payfast, reflecting increased demand across sectors such as internet services, digital goods, fashion, groceries, bill payments, and education.  

    Timothee Dura, Head of Merchant Payments at Mukuru, says, “South Africa’s e-commerce cannot accept only cards and digital payment methods like EFTs or wallets. It needs to work for everyone. We are bridging the digital divide by meeting cash-first consumers where they are—offering them convenience and access to goods and services that were previously out of reach with a payment method that is familiar to them. This is how we build a more inclusive financial ecosystem in South Africa.” 

    For merchants, MPay offers a way to reach customers who have traditionally been excluded from online shopping due to their reliance on cash. The payment method builds on Mukuru’s long-standing experience with cash-first communities and is available through the Payfast by Network dashboard for registered merchants. Once MPay is enabled, a customer shopping on the merchant’s online store selects Mukuru as the payment option at checkout. The system generates a unique order number, valid for 36 hours. The customer can then pay in cash at any of Mukuru’s 11,000+ payment points across South Africa—including major retailers like Spar, Pick n’ Pay, Boxer, and Shoprite.  

    As soon as the customer pays, Mukuru alerts the merchant—enabling swift order fulfilment. MPay also helps merchants reduce operational costs by cutting down on cash handling, removing the need for cash-on-delivery, and minimising the risk of fraud.  

     For consumers, MPay presents an alternative to cash on delivery, particularly relevant in informal or rural areas, where logistical challenges and safety concerns are more frequent. It enables participation in digital commerce while retaining the familiarity of cash payments, facilitated through Mukuru’s established physical network. 

    “The increasing adoption of MPay on Payfast by merchants reflects our conviction that cash-first customers are critical to South Africa’s e-commerce economy. We remain committed to bridging the gap between cash and digital payments, creating safer, regulated, and accessible pathways for unbanked and underserved communities to participate in the formal economy”, concludes Dura.
