Headline: Academic collaboration in focus as WTO Chairs Programme looks ahead to MC14

Since its launch in 2010, the WTO Chairs Programme has supported academic institutions in trade-related research, curriculum development and policy outreach. This year, the programme welcomed five new universities – from the Dominican Republic, Nigeria, Qatar, Togo and Vanuatu – bringing the total number of institutions in the network to 39 Chairs worldwide.
Opening the conference, WTO Deputy Director-General (DDG) Zhang thanked the programme’s donors – France, Austria and the Republic of Korea – and emphasized the WCP’s significance in contributing to trade policymaking and multilateral cooperation. “The WTO Chairs Programme is a powerful platform for empowering academic institutions in developing countries to elevate the role of academia in driving policy change and creating multilateral cooperation between the different stakeholders involved in international trade, as well as on a personal level between the members of the network,” he said.
France’s Permanent Representative to the WTO, Ms. Emmanuelle Ivanov-Durand, highlighted the importance of academic research: “Through research, we don’t just observe. We test, we compare, we adapt. And above all, we look together for concrete solutions to complex problems. It is this approach that gives full meaning to the academic work undertaken by the Chairs through the WTO Chairs Programme.”
Emphasizing the importance of technical assistance in enabling all members to participate effectively at the multilateral level, Austria’s Permanent Representative to the WTO, Ambassador Desirée Schweitzer, stated: “Through capacity-building initiatives such as the Chairs Programme, members can engage in rigorous analysis and make informed decisions on issues of trade, allowing them to participate meaningfully in the multilateral trading system.”
Deputy Permanent Representative of the Republic of Korea to the United Nations and other International Organizations in Geneva Ambassador Sung-yo Choi expressed hope that the WCP would continue to grow: “As multilateralism faces new challenges, the importance of a cooperative, rules-based system becomes even clearer. […] Korea, as part of this vibrant community [of the WCP network], remains firmly committed to supporting the values and vision this programme represents. And we hope it will continue to grow as a dynamic and respected pillar of the global trading system.”
Over the three-day conference, participants will discuss issues on the agenda for MC14, digital trade, fisheries subsidies, trade and micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), trade finance and dispute settlement. They will also discuss avenues for collaboration within the WCP network to support multilateral work in those areas at MC14 and beyond.
Fireside chat with Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
During a fireside chat with the WTO Director-General, participants discussed the challenges of navigating the global trade landscape and difficulties and opportunities offered by global and regional value chains, digital, innovation and green trade, and explored ways forward for developing economies and regions, with a focus on MSMEs, investment and businesses led by women.
Concerning the relevance of the WTO in the current global environment, DG Okonjo-Iweala issued a clarion call to the Chairs. “The WTO is beyond tariffs. Work on customs valuation, TRIPS, SPS and TBT remain strong. Rally your domestic business community to speak up in support. Many criticisms levelled at the WTO are legitimate and WTO members must listen – and the work of WCP Chairs can help identify potential solutions to the challenges members face, and find win-win outcomes,” she said.

MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: Hong Kong Customs seizes suspected counterfeit goods worth over $72 million in “Ocean Shield” operation (with photos)

Source: Hong Kong Government special administrative region – 4

Hong Kong Customs conducted a four-week enforcement operation codenamed “Ocean Shield” from May 28 to June 27 to combat counterfeit and infringing goods activities involving cross-boundary transshipments by sea cargo and local deliveries. During the operation, Customs detected 36 related cases and seized about 157 000 items of suspected counterfeit goods with a total estimated market value of over $72 million.

Through intelligence analysis and detailed investigations, Customs detected a number of related cases at various local logistics companies. Customs officers identified and carried out strike-and-search operations at about 30 logistics companies in Kwai Chung, Tin Shui Wai, Tsuen Wan, Tsing Yi and Yuen Long. About 154 000 items of suspected counterfeit goods, including watches, mobile phone accessories, glasses, clothes and footwear, with a total estimated market value of about $70 million, were seized.

After follow-up investigations, Customs believed that some of the seized suspected counterfeit goods would have been sold locally while the rest would have been re-exported to overseas destinations. Customs officers therefore organised controlled delivery operations in respect of two batches of seized items. On June 6, a 45-year-old male consignee was arrested at a retail shop in Mong Kok, and about 20 suspected counterfeit wireless headphones and speakers with an estimated value of about $32,000 were discovered inside the shop.

Later, on June 18, Customs officers seized about 300 suspected counterfeit wireless headphones and speakers, with an estimated market value of about $1.2 million, in an industrial building unit in Kwai Chung. A 53-year-old female staff member, a 42-year-old male director and a 43-year-old female director were arrested.

Investigations of the above-mentioned cases are ongoing. All arrested persons have been released on bail pending further investigation.

Customs appeals to consumers to purchase goods at reputable shops or websites to avoid buying counterfeit or infringing goods. Practitioners in the logistics industry should also comply with the requirements of the Trade Descriptions Ordinance (TDO) and to check with the trademark owners or authorised agents if the authenticity of a product is in doubt. Traders should also be cautious and prudent in merchandising since selling counterfeit goods is a serious crime, and offenders are liable to criminal sanctions.

Customs will continue to step up inspections and conduct intelligence-led enforcement actions to vigorously combat different types of counterfeit and infringing goods activities.

Under the TDO, any person who imports or exports, or sells or possesses for sale any goods to which a forged trademark is applied commits an offence. The maximum penalty upon conviction is a fine of $500,000 and imprisonment for five years.

Members of the public may report any suspected counterfeiting activities to Customs’ 24-hour hotline 182 8080 or its dedicated crime-reporting email account (crimereport@customs.gov.hk) or online form (eform.cefs.gov.hk/form/ced002).

MIL-OSI USA: Pfluger’s Bill to Unlock Domestic LNG Potential Advanced by House Energy and Commerce Committee

Source: United States House of Representatives – Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11)

Read his remarks as prepared for delivery below:

Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act requires that natural gas exports to countries that have a free-trade agreement with the US be approved without delay. For countries that do not have a free-trade agreement with the US, the Energy Secretary is required to approve export requests unless they find such exports “will not be consistent with the public interest.” Therefore, the Natural Gas Act includes a rebuttable presumption in favor of authorizing U.S. LNG exports.

In early 2024, after succumbing to political pressure from environmental activists, the Biden-Harris administration announced an indefinite ban on issuing export permits to non-free trade agreement (FTA) countries while it reviewed the climate impacts of U.S.LNG.

During this ban, Russia overtook the US as the lead gas supplier to Europe, long-term American contracts were jeopardized, and global buyers were forced to look towards less clean sources.

Thankfully, the Trump Administration quickly reversed this ban, and just last month, DOE issued its first final LNG export approval. My legislation, theUnlocking OurDomesticLNGPotential Act would ensure a ban is never placed on US LNG exports again.

By removing DOE from the process, export restrictions would be repealed, and LNG exports would have equal treatment with other commodities.

LNG exports unequivocally benefit our economy and domestic prices. Congress must act to remove the politics from energy exports, just as this Committee did when it lifted the crude oil export ban.

The IEA expects global gas demand to reach record highs in the coming years, underscoring the need for new LNG supply. It must be the United States, not Iran or Russia, who meets that demand and supplies affordable, clean, and abundant LNG to the world.

Iran is one of only four countries with substantial proven natural gas reserves. The conflict in the Middle East, instigated by Iran’s actions over the last two years, reminds us of the geopolitical risks posed when adversarial regimes control critical energy supplies. At a time when Iran seeks to leverage its resources for strategic influence in direct opposition to US interests, American LNG must fill the gap in the global market. Our allies and trading partners should not be dependent on nefarious actors that use energy revenues to fund terrorism. US LNG offers not only energy security but also geopolitical stability, reliability, and cleaner alternatives for buyers around the world.

I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 1949, and I yield back.

MIL-OSI Africa: Nigerian business leverage African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to grow the country’s intra-African trade opportunities

Source: APO – Report:

Nigeria is working towards fast-tracking implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to unlock opportunities for businesses in the country across the continent.

Nigeria’s Minister of the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, Hon. Jumoke Oduwole noted that intra-African trade has been improving.

“Intra African trade exports grew by over 13% from last year supported by new trade corridors and the initial success of AfCFTA’s guideline initiatives. Nigerian businesses are already key participants, exporting, ceramics, garments, pharmaceuticals and agro products across the continent,” Hon. Jumoke said in a keynote address to government officials, the Nigerian trade community, business leaders and investors attending the Nigeria IATF2025 Business Roadshow.

“As we talk about expanding and unlocking new trade markets, we must recognize the creative economy as a serious trade frontier. Platforms such as Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX) led by Afreximbank are proving that African culture is bankable not just beautiful.” She added.

The event that was attended by over 700 people focused on promoting intra-African trade under the theme: ‘Harnessing Regional and Continental Value Chains: Accelerating Africa’s Industrialisation and Global Competitiveness through AfCFTA.’

The Nigeria IATF2025 roadshow is one of the five in a series of five high-level events in key cities including Nairobi, Accra, Johannesburg, and Algiers ahead of the fourth edition of the biennial Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF) that will be held in Algiers, Algeria from 4 – 10 September 2025 under the theme ‘Gateway to New Opportunities’. IATF is Africa’s premier trade and investment event that serves as a crucial platform for fostering economic growth, collaboration, and innovation across the continent.

Addressing the forum, Executive Director/CEO of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), Nonye Ayeni noted that IATF offers an unparalleled platform for the exchange of trade and investment information and is Africa’s marketplace of ideas, opportunities, and partnerships.

“With frameworks like AFCFTA and platforms like IATF we now have the tools to bridge the trade gap, boost Intra African trade and tremendously grow our economies in a sustainable and inclusive way. We need to build structured, sustainable and competitive value chains that can power inclusive growth both here in Nigeria and across the continent in Africa. We know that AfCFTA promises to be the largest single market in the world, connecting 1.3 billion people across 54 countries in Africa,” Ms Ayeni said.

Building on this, Executive Vice President, Intra-African Trade and Export Development at Afreximbank, Mrs. Kanayo Awani highlighted the tangible results borne out of the trade fair across the continent and in Nigeria specifically.

“In just three editions, IATF has achieved what once felt aspirational: over $100 billion in trade and investment deals, more than 70,000 participants, and 4,500+ exhibitors from across 130 countries. This is not just a conference, it is Africa’s trade engine, designed to connect our producers, unlock demand, and operationalise the promise of the AfCFTA. And in every edition—whether in Cairo, Durban, or beyond, Nigeria has not just participated. Nigeria has led. At IATF2023 alone, Nigerian enterprises generated over $11 billion in signed deals, the highest of any country,” Mrs Awani added.

IATF is a platform for boosting trade and investment in Africa. The last edition held in Cairo attracted nearly 2,000 exhibitors from 65 countries and generated US$43.7 billion in trade and investment deals.

Some of the activities lined up for the week-long IATF2025 include a trade exhibition by countries and businesses; the CANEX programme with a dedicated exhibition and summit on fashion, music, film, arts and craft, sports, literature, gastronomy and culinary arts; a four-day Trade and Investment Forum featuring leading African and international speakers; and the Africa Automotive Show for auto manufacturers, assemblers, original equipment manufacturers and component suppliers.

Special Days will also be held at IATF2025, dedicated for countries as well as public and private entities to showcase trade and investment opportunities, and tourism and cultural attractions, as well as Global Africa Day to highlight commercial and cultural ties between Africa and its diaspora, featuring a Diaspora Summit, market and exhibition, cultural and gastronomic showcase.

Also planned is a business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government (B2G) platform for matchmaking and business exchanges; the AU Youth Start-Up programme showcasing innovative ideas and prototypes; the Africa Research and Innovation Hub @ IATF targeting university students, academia and national researchers to exhibit their innovations and research projects; the Trade Exhibition offering large corporations and SME’s the opportunities to showcase their goods and services, the Trade and Investment Forum, a four day conference featuring sessions and training discussing trade opportunities and barriers.

Others include the Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX), a showcase of African and Diaspora creative talent, the Special Days segment offering countries, private and public sectors the opportunity to sponsor their special event on specific days, the Africa Automotive show, a platform for auto manufacturers to exhibit their products and interact with potential buyers, IATF Virtual, an interactive online platform that will continue after the live event is over, Diaspora Day highlighting the commercial and cultural ties between Africa and its diaspora and the African Sub-Sovereign Governments Network (AfSNET) to promote trade, investment, educational and cultural exchanges at the local level. The IATF Virtual platform is already live, connecting exhibitors and visitors throughout the year.

MIL-OSI USA: NEWS: Sanders Calls Out Trump’s ‘Illegal and Unconstitutional’ Withholding of Nearly $7 Billion for Public Schools

US Senate News:

Source: United States Senator for Vermont – Bernie Sanders
BURLINGTON, Vt., July 3 — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Ranking Member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, today wrote to Secretary of Education Linda McMahon and Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought to immediately reverse their illegal and unconstitutional decision this week to abruptly withhold nearly $7 billion in funding for public education nationwide, including $26.1 million for Vermont schools.
This funding supports more than 10,000 summer and afterschool programs for 1.4 million students throughout the country, including nearly 100 afterschool and summer programs in Vermont that serve 11,000 students. Schools expected to receive this critical funding by July 1st, but were informed it was being withheld less than a day in advance.
“Your decision to withhold $6.88 billion in vital funding that Congress appropriated for our nation’s public schools — including $26.1 million for Vermont — is not only horrific public policy, it is blatantly illegal and unconstitutional. Your unexpected and cruel decision has sent shockwaves, distress and heartbreak in local communities all over America who now may be forced to cancel or substantially delay summer school activities that had been planned for months,” Sanders wrote. “Further, your illegal actions have denied teachers the funding they rely on for professional development. Important services for English learners have been halted. Thousands of school principals, superintendents, and school board members may be forced to lay off dedicated staff. And school district budgets in every State and community have been negatively impacted. That is beyond unacceptable.”
During her confirmation hearing, Secretary McMahon committed to delivering congressionally-appropriated funds to schools, districts and states as required. These actions not only violate the law passed by Congress and signed by the president, but they also violate her stated commitments.
“Congress clearly and unambiguously passed this $6.88 billion in education funding. The President signed it into law. The Trump Administration has no right to withhold or impound it,” Sanders concluded. “I urge you to immediately reverse your decision to illegally withhold Federal education funding appropriated by Congress and release this funding to the States, school districts, and students as soon as possible.”

MIL-OSI Canada: Helping manufacturers thrive in Alberta
Alberta’s government is focused on growing the economy by creating a business-friendly climate where companies want to invest. This focus has led to more jobs and economic prosperity, making Alberta the best place in Canada to do business. Alberta is already home to one of Canada’s largest manufacturing industries, and with low corporate taxes and regulatory burden, Alberta’s government is helping more businesses succeed.

In collaboration with Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, Alberta’s government is investing more than $4 million to support small- and medium-sized manufacturing businesses through the Alberta Manufacturing Productivity Grant. This two-year pilot program offers businesses access to advice, expertise and up to $30,000 in matching funding for technology upgrades along with new machinery and equipment. The pilot program is expected to support approximately 130 small- and medium-sized businesses.

“Alberta’s government is committed to making sure small- and medium-sized businesses have the resources they need to grow. The Alberta Manufacturing Productivity Grant is empowering local business owners to invest in new technologies, machinery and equipment that will allow them to take their business to the next level – while also driving job creation and growth in Alberta’s manufacturing sector.”

Joseph Schow, Minister of Jobs, Economy, Trade and Immigration

Manufacturing companies from any sector are eligible to apply to the pilot program if they have a physical location in Alberta which makes, refines, refurbishes or processes a product or material, uses the equipment or technology from the grant in Alberta and employs between five and 750 employees.

“As a measure we’ve strongly advocated for, Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters applauds the Government of Alberta for this measure that will help derisk investment for small- and medium-sized manufacturers during uncertain economic times. This program will be pivotal in supporting Alberta manufacturers to make investments that will help them grow.”

Dennis Darby, president and chief executive officer, Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters

Manufacturing plays a vital role in driving Alberta’s economic strength and supporting its diverse industries. As of May 2025, the sector employed 144,800 people – 5.6 per cent of the province’s total workforce. In 2024, Alberta’s manufacturing GDP reached $25 billion, and investment in the sector totalled $4.8 billion, marking a 41.9 per cent increase over 2023. The manufacturing sector has impacts across the economy, in areas including wood product manufacturing, machinery and equipment manufacturing, food processing, chemical production and fabricated metal production.

“Manufacturing is a critical link in Canada’s energy supply chain – from precision components to large-scale equipment, every piece matters. This support for technology and equipment upgrades will directly enhance the productivity and competitiveness of Alberta’s energy manufacturers, who are essential to meeting growing energy demands at this pivotal moment for the Canadian economy.”

Gurpreet Lail, president and chief executive officer, Enserva

“Technology drives innovation, sustainability and global competitiveness in the chemistry and plastics sector. Support for investment in advanced technologies will help companies decarbonize, reduce waste and deliver the next generation of low-carbon, high-performance materials. This is why the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada is proud to support the Alberta Manufacturing Productivity Grant, which is providing over $4 million to help small- and medium-sized enterprises across the province – of particular importance to the plastics industry – modernize their equipment, enhance operational efficiency and advance sustainability.”

Christa Seaman, vice-president, plastics division, Chemistry Industry Association of Canada

“The Alberta Manufacturing Productivity Grant is a strategic investment in the future of Alberta’s economy. By helping manufacturers upgrade technology and equipment, this initiative empowers businesses to enhance productivity, drive innovation and remain competitive in a rapidly evolving global market.”

Shauna Feth, president and chief executive officer, Alberta Chambers of Commerce

Amid ongoing economic uncertainty around the world, investments aimed at improving productivity have never been more important. The Alberta Manufacturing Productivity Grant will help build manufacturing capacity and efficiency, enhancing the province’s manufacturing competitiveness while also making Alberta’s manufacturing sector more resilient to future external shocks.

Quick facts
- The manufacturing sector spans different industries, including the production of chemical, food, beverage, wood, machinery and petroleum products.
  - In 2024, the top six manufacturing subsectors (chemical manufacturing, petroleum and coal product manufacturing, food manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, fabricated metal product manufacturing and wood product manufacturing) made up about four-fifths of Alberta’s manufacturing GDP.
- Manufacturing is an integral part of Alberta’s economic prosperity.
  - In 2024, manufacturing contributed seven per cent to Alberta’s GDP, the fourth-largest sector contribution.
  - In 2024, manufacturing accounted for 24 per cent of Alberta’s exports, at $43 billion.
  - In May 2025, manufacturing employed 144,800 people in Alberta, representing 5.6 per cent of total Alberta employment.
    
    Three subsectors (food manufacturing, fabricated metal product manufacturing and machinery manufacturing) account for roughly half of Alberta’s manufacturing jobs.
- Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME) represents more than 10,000 companies nationwide and works closely with various governments to promote growth within Canada’s manufacturing sector. CME also provides industry intelligence on the opportunities and challenges faced by manufacturers in Alberta and across Canada.

Across both retail and institutional channels, 2025 has witnessed a notable increase in public interest surrounding the intersection of robotics and artificial intelligence. Terms like “autonomous trucking,” “robotaxis,” and “AI-powered logistics” are now trending not only in financial forums but also in broader technology and mainstream media conversations. This surge is primarily attributed to the visibility of platforms like ChatGPT and the growing realization that generative AI is no longer confined to text or image synthesis — it is now driving real-world mobility and infrastructure.

This shift in public interest reached a tipping point following Nvidia’s keynote at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where CEO Jensen Huang unveiled new robotics applications powered by the company’s proprietary AI chips. Viewers were introduced to humanoid systems, warehouse automation platforms, and most significantly, Nvidia’s roadmap for autonomous commercial trucks. The media coverage that followed described the development as a turning point, with Forbes referencing a potential “$24 trillion opportunity” and Oxford Economics confirming that the robotics revolution had officially arrived.

As these developments unfold, consumer and investor interest has extended beyond big-cap names like Nvidia and Tesla into the suppliers, partners, and adjacent innovators positioned to scale these initiatives. According to Weiss Ratings, this includes firms developing edge-AI systems, autonomous vehicle platforms, and robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) delivery models. One lesser-known $7 stock has surfaced repeatedly in online discussions and trend analysis as a company deeply embedded in the backend infrastructure of this new AI-powered movement.

Search trends further confirm the shift. Over the past 12 months, keyword clusters including “Nvidia robot partner,” “self-driving truck tech,” and “AI manufacturing automation” have seen exponential growth, reflecting a retail investor base eager to identify entry points before widespread institutional exposure. This growing demand for transparency and context underscores the role of independent research providers — such as Weiss Ratings — in helping consumers distinguish between hype and substance, and in providing timely, data-driven insights as emerging sectors evolve.

Readers can review the editorial analysis through Weiss Ratings’ newsletter archive.

Section 4 – Technology Spotlight: DriveThor, LiDAR Systems, and the Embedded Stack Behind Self-Driving Infrastructure

At the foundation of Nvidia’s autonomous robotics push lies its high-performance computing architecture, specifically the DriveThor platform — a unified AI system-on-chip designed to process perception, mapping, planning, and driver monitoring in real-time. Built on Nvidia’s next-gen GPU architecture, DriveThor represents a leap forward in autonomous vehicle design, combining deep learning accelerators, sensor fusion capabilities, and vehicle-to-cloud connectivity into a single chip.

However, the performance of such centralized AI platforms depends on a complex network of hardware and software partners to bring self-driving systems into functional reality. That’s where a new class of modular technology providers — including a $7 company highlighted in Weiss Ratings’ 2025 editorial — comes into view. This firm develops end-to-end autonomy stacks, combining essential sensor arrays, integrated radar and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) units, thermal cameras, and onboard diagnostics that support the operation of self-driving commercial vehicles.

LiDAR, in particular, is often described as the “eyes” of an autonomous system. It emits laser pulses to measure distances and generate high-resolution 3D maps of the surrounding environment. When combined with radar and optical imaging, these layers of perception enable real-time obstacle detection, lane tracking, and adaptive decision-making. The $7 company in question has engineered its system to support seamless fusion of these inputs, enabling adaptive driving across urban, highway, and rural environments.

On the software side, the same company has developed an integrated operating platform that harmonizes vehicle data with Nvidia’s Drive AGX and DriveThor chipsets. This interface handles localization, path planning, and environmental modeling, functioning as the core logic layer of a self-driving truck or industrial robot. It also enables continuous improvement by capturing millions of miles of road data and feeding that intelligence back into simulation engines.

Taken together, these technologies form the invisible scaffolding of the “Trillion-Dollar Robot” concept — not as a single product, but as a converging network of hardware, AI, and edge processing tools designed to scale autonomy into critical infrastructure.

Section 5 – Market Reception and Public Sentiment: From Curiosity to Speculation in the Robotics Race

As robotics transitions from concept to infrastructure, the tone of online engagement has shifted accordingly. What began as a novelty conversation — humanoid robots at CES, companion bots, and AI-powered assistants — has evolved into more pragmatic discussions about the role of automation in the economy. Search patterns now indicate increased interest in supply chain optimization, autonomous freight, and job creation through robotics, particularly in the face of rising labor shortages in the transportation and manufacturing sectors.

Platforms like Reddit, X (formerly Twitter), and financial content hubs have been buzzing with speculation about the implications of Nvidia’s move into commercial robotics. One consistent theme is the curiosity surrounding lesser-known firms supporting the backend of this transformation. Among them, the $7 stock profiled in the Weiss Ratings Disruptors & Dominators newsletter has surfaced in speculative analysis, not for flashy marketing, but for its foundational role in systems integration. Online commentators have taken note of its partnerships, intellectual property holdings, and use-case demonstrations with interest, especially when tied to federal infrastructure trends.

Importantly, Weiss Ratings’ approach to these developments remains rooted in research, not recommendation. The publication’s editorial lens emphasizes independent evaluation, dissecting public company filings, industry partnerships, and macroeconomic indicators without promoting individual investments. This approach has garnered attention from readers seeking context and clarity in a saturated information environment.

While some observers express skepticism about the speed of adoption for autonomous systems, others frame the sector as inevitable, citing the high cost of inaction across logistics, industrial output, and national security. Terms like “self-driving truck regulations,” “robotics in manufacturing,” and “autonomous transport 2025” have all experienced year-over-year volume spikes, reflecting a broader public interest in gaining visibility into where these innovations are headed.

In this climate of cautious optimism, Weiss Ratings positions its Disruptors & Dominators coverage as an analytical touchpoint for understanding technology trajectories — especially those like Nvidia’s robotics initiative, which blends infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and policy into one accelerating narrative.

Disruptors & Dominators is Weiss Ratings’ newsletter focused on AI, autonomous infrastructure, and disruptive technology sectors. Details are available on the official Weiss Ratings website.

The Disruptors & Dominators editorial series is designed to support independent analysis of disruptive trends across artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and transformational technologies.

Section 7 – Final Observations: Robotics Infrastructure, AI Expansion, and the Shape of a Trillion-Dollar Opportunity

The robotics movement underway in 2025 represents more than just a breakthrough in machine autonomy — it signals a fundamental restructuring of how labor, logistics, and national infrastructure interact with artificial intelligence. While early applications of AI focused on cloud computing, recommendation engines, and content generation, the current phase emphasizes AI’s physical manifestation: autonomous systems capable of navigating, sensing, and making decisions in real-world environments.

From a strategic perspective, Nvidia’s expansion into robotics represents a vertical integration model previously seen in sectors such as semiconductors and data centers, now applied to the fusion of mobility and cognition. The company is no longer just supplying chips to innovators; it is increasingly shaping the operating systems, regulatory architecture, and embedded partnerships that define the growth of this sector.

For independent research organizations like Weiss Ratings, this shift demands an even closer examination of adjacent players — including those providing the sensors, decision engines, and physical frameworks necessary for scaled deployment. The emergence of smaller-cap, infrastructure-enabling firms is not only relevant for investors; it reflects a broader change in how innovation is operationalized at the ground level.

As autonomous mobility and robotics continue to transition from demonstration to deployment, the real opportunity may not lie in flashy prototypes, but in the systems and platforms that enable scale. This is where industry attention is increasingly focused, and where editorial coverage plays a vital role in bringing transparency to a rapidly advancing ecosystem.

Section 8 – Public Commentary Themes: Interest, Caution, and the Race to Scale AI Robotics

Online discussions around Nvidia’s robotics initiative and the emerging ecosystem of autonomous technology partners have become increasingly layered in tone. A recurring point of interest involves the transition from lab-based robotics to scalable industrial platforms, particularly in sectors such as freight, manufacturing, and healthcare systems. Some commentators have noted that the 2025 rollout of Nvidia’s DriveThor-enabled autonomous trucking strategy marks a meaningful shift from abstract AI speculation to infrastructure-level application.

At the same time, skepticism persists. A recurring discussion point revolves around the timeline and feasibility of national regulatory frameworks for self-driving fleets, especially in light of state-by-state policy variations. Others have expressed concern about labor displacement, while still acknowledging the need for solutions to chronic driver shortages and logistics bottlenecks. This duality — optimism for innovation, tempered by realism about structural inertia — continues to shape the public dialogue.

Notably, independent financial communities have shown interest in companies playing enabling roles behind the scenes. A frequently discussed theme involves the under-the-radar $7 stock referenced in Weiss Ratings’ 2025 editorial. Some investors are analyzing their patent filings, partner integrations, and testing data as signals of long-term infrastructure relevance. Rather than chasing speculative spikes, these observers frame the opportunity in terms of foundational value within an AI-enabled economy.

Another standard narrative highlights the strategic alliances forming between traditional industrial brands and AI platform providers, with Nvidia’s deepening involvement seen as a signpost for what’s next. This includes attention on chip suppliers, robotics firmware developers, and companies aligned with clean-label hardware design.

Across forums, media, and professional newsletters, the consensus is forming: the robotics revolution is no longer theoretical. It’s underway — and its enablers, not just its figureheads, are becoming the focus of the following investment conversation.

MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Portsmouth businesses welcome top Ambassador to Japan

Source: City of Portsmouth

The UK’s Ambassador to Japan, Julia Longbottom, visited a selection of Portsmouth businesses today to boost economic ties as part of a new roadshow launched by the Foreign Secretary David Lammy to drive growth in every part of the UK.

Ambassador Longbottom met with the Lord Mayor of Portsmouth City Cllr. Gerald Vernon-Jackson and Natalie Brahma-Pearl, Chief Executive of Portsmouth City Council and visited locally based businesses including Griffon Marine, Airbus Portsmouth, BAE Systems and the Mary Rose.

Portsmouth is a key centre of Japanese trade and investment within the Hampshire region, in part due to the strength of its maritime, defence and advanced manufacturing sectors.

Ambassador Longbottom said:

“It’s exciting to be in Portsmouth as part of this first-of-its-kind roadshow – going the extra mile to develop relationships that will help us supercharge growth to every corner of the UK.

“The UK Government’s Modern Industrial Strategy and Trade Strategy are making Britain the best country to do business with – and that is the message I’m giving, loud and clear, to businesses in Japan.

“Japanese companies are choosing to invest and create jobs in the UK because of our skilled workforce, our world-class innovation, and our deep, trusted partnership with Japan. Portsmouth has all of these, and it’s my job to put Portsmouth on the map in Japan.

“That’s why I’m in Portsmouth today – exploring new opportunities both for local companies seeking to export to Japan, and to understand how Japanese companies can invest and create more jobs and growth here.

“I am particularly excited by Portsmouth’s strong defence industrial base, cutting-edge technology, and advanced manufacturing sector. These are all fantastic opportunities for partnership with Japan.

“I look forward to building on these opportunities further, including when the Royal Navy’s flagship aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales visits Japan later this year as part of her deployment to the Indo-Pacific. Having set sail from Portsmouth in April, this is just another example of the strong links between Portsmouth and Japan.”

Japan is now the UK’s 15th largest trading partner. Ambassador Longbottom will use today’s roadshow visit to build on figures which show total trade between UK and Japan was £27.1 billion in 2024 – with many companies across Hampshire benefiting.

Exports from the Hampshire & Isle of Wight region to Japan in 2022 totalled £1billion, while total imports were £206million. Most of the exports from Hampshire & Isle of Wight are in goods – £833 million exported in goods versus £170 million in services, owing to the presence of major goods ports at Southampton and Portsmouth.

Cllr Steve Pitt, Leader of Portsmouth City Council said:

“We are delighted to welcome Ambassador Longbottom to Portsmouth as part of this important national initiative. Her visit is a valuable opportunity to showcase the world-class innovation and expertise that defines our city’s defence, maritime and advanced manufacturing sectors.

Working closely with Portsmouth’s global business partners like Griffon Marine, Airbus, BAE and the Mary Rose, we are building a resilient, forward-looking economy that benefits everyone in our city. This visit is a clear signal that Portsmouth is open for business and ready to play a leading role in the UK’s global trade ambitions.”

Lord Mayor of Portsmouth, Cllr Gerald Vernon-Jackson added:

“Portsmouth is proud of its strong international connections, particularly with Japan, and we are committed to strengthening these ties to create new jobs, attract investment, and open up global opportunities for our residents.”

Mark Downer, CEO of Griffon Marine, said:

“Ambassador Longbottom’s visit highlights the importance of UK-Japan collaboration in shaping the future of maritime defence. At Griffon Marine, we are proud to lead the Wyvern-J programme, a platform that reflects the best of British innovation, engineering, and global support. Wyvern-J has the power to bring meaningful regeneration to Portchester by creating high-value jobs, apprenticeships, and a skilled workforce rooted in the community.”

Dominic Jones, CEO of the Mary Rose Trust, said:

“It was an honour to welcome Ambassador Longbottom to the Mary Rose Museum—home to the world’s largest collection of everyday Tudor artefacts. We were delighted to share the story of the Mary Rose, history’s greatest maritime archaeological salvage project, and its ongoing significance to Portsmouth’s heritage. We hope Her Excellency enjoyed her visit.”

MIL-OSI USA: Lummis Unveils Digital Asset Tax Legislation
US Senate News:
Source: United States Senator for Wyoming Cynthia Lummis

Washington, D.C.— U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) introduced comprehensive digital asset tax legislation that secures key victories for the digital asset industry and creates a level playing field for digital asset users across the country.

“In order to maintain our competitive edge, we must change our tax code to embrace our digital economy, not burden digital asset users,” said Lummis. “This groundbreaking legislation is fully paid-for, cuts through the bureaucratic red tape and establishes common-sense rules that reflect how digital technologies function in the real world. We cannot allow our archaic tax policies to stifle American innovation, and my legislation ensures Americans can participate in the digital economy without inadvertent tax violations.”

Senator Lummis said, “I welcome public comments on this legislation as we seek to get this package to the President’s desk.”

BACKGROUND:

Senator Lummis’ legislation addresses major digital asset taxation issues, including small transaction practicality (a $300 de minimis rule), ending the double taxation of digital asset miners and stakers, parity with other financial assets (digital asset lending, wash sales, mark-to-market tax treatment) and providing that charitable contributions do not require an appraisal. The legislation is estimated by the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation to generate approximately $600 million in net revenue during the 2025-2034 budget window.

De Minimis Gain from Sale or Exchange of Digital Assets

Similar to foreign exchange, it creates a new Section 139J providing a de minimis exclusion for digital asset gains or losses unless the sale or exchange is for:
- Cash or cash equivalents (including payment stablecoins)
- Property used in active trade or business
- Property held for income production
Limitations:
- $300 threshold for both transaction value and total gain with $5,000 yearly total cap
- Aggregation rule for related transactions
- Inflation adjustment beginning 2026
This provision recognizes the impracticality of tracking every small digital asset transaction, such as buying coffee with Bitcoin, which creates enormous compliance burdens for ordinary users. The $300 threshold strikes a reasonable balance between tax compliance and practical usability of digital assets as a medium of exchange.

Tax Treatment of Digital Asset Lending Agreements

Expands Section 1058 securities lending rules to include digital assets:
- Digital asset lending agreements are generally not taxable events
- Appropriate basis adjustments required
- Income recognition rules for lenders
- Includes fixed-term transfers in ordinary course of business
This prevents the absurd result where temporarily lending digital assets would trigger immediate tax consequences, which would discourage legitimate lending markets and create artificial barriers to capital efficiency. The provision ensures digital assets receive the same sensible treatment as securities lending, which has operated successfully for decades without creating tax compliance nightmares.

Loss from Wash Sales of Digital Assets

Revises Section 1091 to cover “specified assets” (both securities and digital assets):
- 30-day wash sale rule applies to digital assets
- Covers options, forward contracts, futures, and derivatives
- Exceptions for dealers and business/hedging transactions
- Basis adjustment rules for disallowed losses
This closes an unfair loophole where digital asset investors could engage in tax-loss harvesting strategies unavailable to traditional securities investors, creating an artificial advantage that distorts investment decisions. The provision ensures tax neutrality between asset classes while maintaining appropriate exceptions for legitimate business activities.

Mark-to-Market Election

Creates new Section 475(g) allowing dealers and traders in digital assets to elect mark-to-market treatment:
- Dealers: mandatory application like securities dealers
- Traders: optional election like securities traders
- Limited to actively traded digital assets
This provides digital asset dealers and traders with the same tax treatment available to their securities and commodities counterparts, eliminating arbitrary discrimination based on asset type. The election allows for more accurate income recognition that matches the economic reality of trading businesses while maintaining consistency with existing tax policy.

Digital Asset Mining and Staking

Adds new Section 451(l) deferring income recognition:
- Mining and staking income not recognized until sale/disposition of produced assets
- Treated as ordinary income when recognized
This aligns the taxation of mining and staking rewards with the actual realization of economic benefit, rather than forcing recognition based on volatile and often uncertain fair market values at the time of receipt. The approach prevents cash flow problems where taxpayers owe taxes on assets they haven’t sold and may not be able to liquidate easily.

Charitable Contributions and Qualified Appraisals

Exempts actively traded digital assets from qualified appraisal requirements for charitable

contributions.

This removes an unnecessary bureaucratic barrier that has discouraged charitable giving of digital assets, even though these assets often have readily determinable fair market values through active trading. The provision encourages philanthropy while recognizing that actively traded digital assets should be treated similarly to publicly traded securities for valuation purposes.

MIL-OSI Africa: President Benedict Oramah takes a bow at the Afreximbank Annual Meetings (AAM2025) after a decade of servant leadership

Source: APO

Professor Benedict Okechukwu Oramah, CON, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) (www.Afreximbank.com) has taken a bow from serving at the helm of the institution for the last decade; a period that has been touted as transformational and exceptional.

While giving his closing speech during the AAM2025, Professor Oramah took the audience down memory lane, from June 2015 when shareholders gave him a leadership mandate in Lusaka, Zambia, saying that; “In my acceptance speech, I made a solemn promise to the shareholders, to deliver a solid bank that will be a leader among its peers in all measures of financial performance to quickly grow the capital of the Bank in absolute terms, to improve capitalisation through innovative capital management initiatives to ensure first-class risk management, and achieve adequate returns to shareholders.”

Professor Oramah highlighted the achievements of the Bank during his tenure, some under very extreme situations, citing the financial rise thus “we have collectively, over the past decade, built a solid financial institution that is good for Global Africa. Total assets and guarantees grew more than eight-fold between September 2015 and April 2025, to reach 43.5 billion US dollars. Total Revenues also rose seven-fold, reaching 3.24 billion US dollars, from 408 million US dollars in 2025. Net income amounted to about 1 billion US dollars last year, about 700% increase, from its level of 125 million US dollars in 2015. Internal capital generation and very strong support of shareholders through significant additional equity investments, saw shareholders’ funds rise from about 1 billion US dollars in September 2015 to 7.5 billion US dollars in April 2025, with callable capital reaching 4.5 billion US dollars from 450 million US dollars in September 2015. Liquidity remained strong, with sources of funding much more diversified in 2024 than in 2015, due to activities of the Africa Resource Mobilisation Unit, which saw the share of African sources of funding rise from 11.7 percent in 2015 to 36.6 percent in May 2025.”

Going forward, Prof Oramah said that the Bank would like to give priority to the financing and promoting of high-value exports that have the capability of stabilising export revenues and creating jobs thereby raising and stabilising trade and economy in Africa.

H.E. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria who spoke at the official opening ceremony, appreciated the contribution of Afreximbank to the growth and stability of the economy of Nigeria and by extension Africa at large, saying “Nigeria’s collaboration with Afreximbank is expanding in both scope and breadth through various avenues including but not limited to the oil industry, and food production through fertilizer manufacturer through financing and Nigeria appreciates Afreximbank as a strategic partner in co creation which positively impacts the lives of Africans and helps transform the Continent.”

In recognition of the outstanding work done my Professor Oramah over the last 10 years and in the last 3 decades at Afreximbank, President Tinubu on behalf of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, awarded Prof. Oramah one of Nigeria’s highest state commendations: The Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON).

MIL-OSI: BTCC Exchange Reports Remarkable Q2 2025 Performance with $957 Billion Trading Volume and Continued User-Centric Development

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

VILNIUS, Lithuania, July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BTCC, one of the world’s longest-operating cryptocurrency exchanges, today announced exceptional Q2 results for 2025, with total trading volume surpassing $957 billion and user base expanding to over 9.1 million globally. The milestone quarter was highlighted by BTCC’s 14th anniversary celebration in June.

Q2 Trading Volumes Surge with Strategic Product Expansion

BTCC’s remarkable $957 billion total trading volume comprised $107 billion in spot trading and $850 billion in futures trading, representing substantial growth from Q1’s $815 billion. The exchange strategically expanded its futures offerings by listing trending coins, including HUMA (Huma Finance), PLUME (Plume), and RESOLV (Resolv), while breaking new ground in tokenized assets by adding POPMART tokenized stock, a Hong Kong-listed company famous for its viral Labubu collectibles.

“Q2 2025 showed the resilience and maturity of both our platform and the crypto ecosystem,” said Alex Hung, Head of Operations at BTCC. “Even with market fluctuations, we achieved exceptional performance with over 9.1 million registered users now trusting our platform while staying committed to user protection.”

Beyond trading volume growth, BTCC reinforced its commitment to user safety by strengthening its Risk Reserve Fund with an additional $1.8 million, bringing the total to over $16.8 million.

Enhanced Transparency with Monthly Proof of Reserves Reports

In addition to strengthening security measures, BTCC took a major step forward in transparency by releasing monthly Proof of Reserves reports throughout Q2. The total reserve ratio across major currencies, including BTC, ETH, XRP, USDT, USDC, and ADA, consistently exceeded industry standards, with April reaching 161%, May maintaining 152%, and June achieving 135% — all significantly above the 100% industry benchmark.

Upgraded Demo Feature and Anniversary Milestone

Complementing its transparency efforts, BTCC enhanced its beginner-friendly platform with an upgraded demo trading feature that allows users to self-service top-ups of up to 500,000 USDT weekly for expanded practice opportunities.

Building on these user-focused improvements, June 2025 marked BTCC’s 14th anniversary, a milestone celebrated with the launch of the first-ever user badge program featuring the exclusive “14 Years of Momentum” badge. Badge holders can enjoy exclusive benefits, including airdrops, special campaigns, and community recognition.

“Our 14th anniversary celebration was particularly meaningful as it honored users who have trusted us through various market cycles,” said Alex Hung. “The badge program is our way of giving back to the community that has been with us on this incredible journey.”

Global Community Engagement Takes Center Stage

Extending beyond the platform, BTCC brought the crypto community together offline with a major presence at TOKEN2049 Dubai as gold sponsor in April, hosting an exclusive desert safari tour and a VIP yacht party featuring top crypto influencers.

The exchange also demonstrated its commitment to social responsibility by partnering with Red Eagle Foundation to facilitate Bitcoin donations at the Legends Golf Day charity event in April.

Strategic Roadmap for Continued Excellence

Building on Q2’s achievements, BTCC plans to launch a comprehensive Trading Info Center in Q3, with the Quick Updates section going live in July. The exchange is also advancing its Futures Pro, currently in beta, with plans to roll out additional features and system optimizations.

“Our upcoming Trading Info Center represents our commitment to user-centric services, providing users with the tools they need to navigate this dynamic market successfully,” said Alex. “As we enter the second half of 2025, BTCC remains committed to platform enhancement while maintaining the trust and security standards that have defined our 14-year journey.”

Looking ahead, BTCC is preparing for major community engagement initiatives, including an offline summer festival in Japan and a strategic athlete sponsorship in August 2025.

As BTCC continues to evolve and adapt to the changing cryptocurrency landscape, the exchange remains steadfast in its mission to provide secure, reliable trading services that empower users to succeed in their crypto trading journey.

MIL-OSI Russia: Under the leadership of Alexander Novak, a comprehensive program for training personnel for foreign economic activity was reviewed

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Government of the Russian Federation – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Under the leadership of Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, a strategic session entitled “Training Personnel in the Sphere of Foreign Economic Activity (FEA) in Order to Ensure National Development Goals” was held at the All-Russian Foreign Trade Academy. The Ministry of Economic Development presented a large-scale program for training specialists in the sphere of foreign economic activity until 2030.

“The decree of the President of the country sets strategic guidelines for economic development, and one of the national goals is to increase non-resource and energy exports to $250 billion by 2030. This is approximately twice as much as by the end of 2024. The key factor is the integration of our economy into the global economy. In recent years, there have been significant changes in the structure and geography of foreign economic activity. Russia has actively reoriented trade from Europe and the United States to the markets of friendly countries: China, India, Central Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. All this allows us to strengthen economic integration,” said Alexander Novak, opening the session.

In connection with the reorientation to the markets of support countries, the creation of new supply chains for critical goods, the formation of international payment instruments and the activation of integration processes, businesses need specialists with the relevant competencies. Sanctions have changed the rules of the game. The market needs specialists who know how to build alternative logistics chains in the context of geopolitical changes, know how to work with crypto payments, understand sanctions risks, know the languages and specifics of the markets of friendly countries.

In order to achieve the target indicators and implement the President’s instructions, the Ministry of Economic Development has developed a program for training personnel for foreign economic activity. “What we are implementing today is a higher education policy applied to a specific area. The number of exporters has increased many times over, including SMEs. This is what we wanted, what we fought for, and what we need to value, because without personnel we will lose this achievement. Today, foreign economic activity is not just a part of business, but a question of economic sustainability,” emphasized the Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov.

The head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov, noted that within the framework of the program for training personnel for the sphere of foreign economic activity until 2030, a list of training areas and specialties has been agreed upon.

“It is important that this approach is in line with the interests of the main competence center – the All-Russian Academy of Foreign Trade, while it does not limit the opportunities of other educational institutions in developing specialized educational programs,” said Valery Falkov.

He separately thanked Maxim Reshetnikov for the systematic, comprehensive approach to joint work on training personnel for foreign economic activity.

The program provides for systemic measures to overcome the personnel shortage and eliminate the gap between the needs of business and the capabilities of the educational system. It is aimed at solving the key challenges faced by Russian exporters, including the need to form new logistics chains, develop alternative financial instruments and deeply understand the markets of partner countries.

“Large and SME exporters have different requirements for the competencies of specialists in the field of foreign economic activity. Thus, large companies conducting multi-billion dollar business with regular shipments, dozens and hundreds of trade operations, as a rule, need narrow experts with deep knowledge in the subject areas of conducting and developing export activities: marketing, sales, compliance, logistics or payments. SMEs are limited in their ability to maintain a staff specifically for the development of foreign economic activity. As a result, they value generalists who simultaneously perform many functions, and also have a “long notebook” with contacts for using effective solutions in logistics, payments, marketing and others,” emphasized Veronika Nikishina, General Director of the Russian Export Center. In her opinion, special training programs should take into account the needs of both large businesses and SMEs. Moreover, it is important that they become the property of specialized universities in all regions.

The program provides for a large-scale modernization of the educational process. In the coming years, it is planned to develop 180 educational and methodological complexes and online courses in relevant areas of foreign economic activity, professional retraining of 3 thousand university teachers, holding 20 international events to exchange experience with the participation of universities from the BRICS, EAEU and SCO countries, updating federal educational standards taking into account new requirements for specialists.

The work will be coordinated by a methodological center created for these purposes at the All-Russian Academy of Foreign Trade, which will ensure interaction between educational institutions, business and regional authorities. “The center is being formed as a platform for cooperation between leading universities, business representatives and government bodies. Its work is built in three areas: events for schoolchildren (Olympiads, career guidance, interaction with parents), the introduction of educational modules in universities, attracting businesses to the training of students and teachers, advanced training and retraining of current specialists in foreign economic activity,” noted Victoria Idrisova, Rector of the Russian Academy of Foreign Trade of the Ministry of Economic Development.

According to her, as part of the pilot launch during the 2024/2025 academic year, VAVT prepared 10 educational modules and implemented advanced training programs for more than 70 of its teachers on the most pressing issues on the foreign economic activity agenda.

During the discussion of the program for training specialists in the field of foreign economic activity, the participants identified a number of key issues that require detailed development. One of them is determining the format of personnel training: will it be a separate specialty or a set of competencies integrated into existing professions. “We are currently working on the foundation that will ensure the sustainability of the economy. The value of the program is not in the speed of delivery, but in finding answers to all questions, because training personnel for foreign economic activity is a strategic task for the country,” emphasized Maxim Reshetnikov.

After revision, the program will be sent to the Government for approval. It is expected that its implementation will allow up to 25 thousand specialists to graduate annually, possessing relevant skills for work in the conditions of new economic realities. This will be a significant step in strengthening Russia’s human resources potential in the sphere of international cooperation and trade.

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget Wallet, the leading non-custodial crypto wallet, celebrated their new crypto-linked card, launched in in partnership with Mastercard and infrastructure provider Immersve, during Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) in Cannes. The product allows users to make payments directly from their digital wallets at more than 150 million merchants that accept Mastercard worldwide.

The launch was unveiled during a joint keynote followed by an exclusive side event co-hosted by the partners. The keynote, titled “Making Crypto Spendable” featured Jamie Elkaleh, CMO of Bitget Wallet and Christian Rau, SVP of Digital Assets, Blockchain and Fintech Enablement at Mastercard, who outlined how self-custodial crypto assets can now integrate seamlessly with traditional financial infrastructure. Rau emphasized the importance of interoperability, rigorous compliance, and user protection in enabling mass adoption. Elkaleh pointed to wallets becoming full financial interfaces and stressed that real-world usability is key to unlocking the next phase of crypto growth.

Following the keynote, the companies co-hosted “PayFi Rising: Building the Rails,” a curated networking event spotlighting crypto payments innovation and showcasing the new product. The evening featured a fireside chat with Jerome Faury, CEO of Immersve, the Mastercard-licensed issuer powering the product’s backend infrastructure. Faury emphasized that the collaboration enables users to spend crypto as easily as fiat, while retaining control of their digital assets until the point of settlement.

The card, available through the Bitget Wallet app, supports real-time funding via onchain swaps and deposits. Leveraging Mastercard Digital First technology, users can apply for the card digitally and within minutes add it to their mobile wallets for use at both physical and online merchants. Transactions are settled onchain through crypto-to-fiat conversion, while adhering to Mastercard’s regulatory framework, including full KYC and AML compliance. The initial rollout covers the United Kingdom and European Union, with plans to expand to Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand in the coming months.

The launch forms part of Bitget Wallet’s broader PayFi strategy, followed by the company’s recent rebrand and renewed focus on “Crypto for Everyone” vision, which aims to turn self-custodied assets into everyday utility through integrated payment experiences. In addition to the card, Bitget Wallet enables users to pay with crypto via Scan-to-Pay using Solana Pay and national QR payment systems, as well as through the in-app Shop tab, which offers direct purchases of gift cards, mobile credits, and gaming top-ups from thousands of merchants.

Elkaleh concluded by stating that “crypto adoption hinges on giving people real choice — tools that feel familiar but offer the freedom and composability only crypto enables,” Rau added that true innovation lies in fusing trusted infrastructure with emerging asset models, noting that partnerships like this are critical to moving digital assets into the financial mainstream.

MIL-OSI Russia: Yuri Trutnev: The Jewish Autonomous Region will present key investment projects at the exhibition “Far East Street”

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Government of the Russian Federation – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Important industry and investment projects, prospects for international business cooperation and plans for infrastructure development will be presented to guests of the Jewish Autonomous Region (JAR) pavilion at the Far East Street exhibition, which will be held as part of the tenth, anniversary Eastern Economic Forum – 2025 in Vladivostok. The exposition focuses on the tourism, industrial, agricultural and logistics potential of the region. The exhibition is organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Office of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of Russia in the Far Eastern Federal District.

“A new team has arrived in the Jewish Autonomous Region, headed by Maria Fedorovna Kostyuk. She has actively taken up the work. The region is not easy. It needs to be supported, it needs to be helped. At the same time, there are prerequisites for future development in the region. The built cross-border railway bridge Nizhneleninskoye – Tongjiang creates opportunities for new logistics routes and cargo handling. A powerful transport, logistics and production complex will appear here. This will provide an economic stimulus for the development of the region and the entire Far East, will create jobs – both for blue-collar workers and for highly qualified specialists. Hemostatic tourniquets and other medical equipment are delivered to the front from the region, helping fighters in the SVO zone. On the instructions of the President of Russia, a master plan for Birobidzhan has been developed, and it is planned to create a “Far Eastern quarter”. The pavilion at the exhibition “Far East Street” will tell about how the region is developing, what new directions are emerging in the economy, and what makes the region attractive,” said Deputy Prime Minister – Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Eastern Economic Forum Yuri Trutnev.

Visitors to the pavilion will be able to get acquainted with the unique national color, natural beauty and investment potential of the region. The key component of the exhibition will be the rainbow bridge, since the rainbow is the main element of the flag of the Jewish Autonomous Region, a symbol of peace, happiness and goodness. A robot will act as a tour guide, telling guests about the history of the region, its traditions and features.

A video about the region is planned to be shown on the large screen inside the pavilion. Information about the region’s existing industrial enterprises, investment projects that are in a high state of readiness, and promising offers for potential financial partners will also be posted here. Among them are the production of iron ore concentrate, the extraction of brucite and graphite, projects in the field of power generation, the forestry complex, and a logistics center. Visitors will also be able to see the products of the region’s enterprises and even take them as a souvenir.

The stand will tell about promising projects, their characteristics, and also present data on the activities of a number of enterprises. In particular, initiatives will be presented on the formation of an agro-industrial park, the arrangement of greenhouses and the cultivation of berries, the construction of a soybean processing plant and a mineral fertilizer plant, the creation of a transshipment terminal and a petrochemical terminal at the Nizhneleninskoye – Tongjiang border crossing. On the touch panel, one can see an investment map and the possibilities of the bridge area with an image of areas already occupied by projects and free for the placement of production facilities, as well as get acquainted with the implementation of the Birobidzhan master plan.

“Thanks to the implementation of national projects approved by the President, federal programs, with the support of Yuri Petrovich Trutnev, social facilities, cultural institutions are being modernized in our region, new public spaces are appearing. The region is becoming cozier, brighter, more comfortable. And people see it. The Jewish Autonomous Region is a small region, but with great potential. Our unique logistics capabilities, nature, tourist routes are attractive to investors and guests from all over Russia. These advantages will improve people’s lives, create new jobs, and replenish the budget with tax revenues. Every ruble attracted to the region should benefit people, and every project should change their lives for the better,” said Acting Governor of the Jewish Autonomous Region Maria Kostyuk.

A “live newspaper” will be dedicated to the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War and the exploits of the heroes of the special military operation. The structure with built-in screens and texts in the style of a printed spread will tell about the participants of the Great Patriotic War and the Special Military Operation from the region.

Stands dedicated to the region’s tourism opportunities will be located nearby. Among them are the “Jewish Place” brand, the museum and memorial complex on top of the June-Koran hill in Volochayevka, the Bastak nature reserve, the Foma and Zmeinaya Mountain ski resorts, and the resort area of the village of Kuldur. Data on the objects is accompanied by QR codes, which make it possible to learn more about the projects. A separate optical mark leads to the “Far East – Land of Adventure” competition page.

The cultural zone is designed as a large-scale rack, recreating the atmosphere of a cozy home living room, where guests of the Jewish Autonomous Region can get acquainted with the rich cultural heritage and creative achievements of the region. The trade zone will be represented by products of small and medium-sized businesses. At the stand, you can buy honey, clothes of the Pravda brand, knitwear of the Signalnaya brand, and souvenirs.

Three brucite rocks will be presented as art objects. Five-meter lighting poles in the shape of menorahs will be installed on both sides of the pavilion. The stand will host various master classes, sports and cultural programs, including one on the theme of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

The violin ensemble will perform famous Jewish folk melodies and world classics. Soloists Vyacheslav Tetyuev and Alexandra Prokina will perform songs in Yiddish. The Kamyshinka folk ensemble and the Russkaya Dusha ensemble will delight the audience with bright stylized compositions and original works. Timur Vedernikov and Katya Kotyonochkina from Moscow will also perform here. A retro program with world and domestic hits of the 70s and 80s is planned separately. In addition, the site will host performances by artists of the Surprise Dance Theater.

MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Environment Secretary Steve Reed: Groundswell Show speech

Speech

Environment Secretary Steve Reed: Groundswell Show speech

Speech by Environment Secretary Steve Reed at the 2025 Groundswell Show.

It’s fantastic to be with you all here today. I’m delighted to have this opportunity to speak to so many people.

It’s exciting to be here at Groundswell with the pioneers and innovators who are shaping the future of British farming.

I’ve really been looking forward to coming to Groundswell because I know this is where the big ideas are taking shape.

You’re confronting the challenges of the future by drawing on the power of the past, looking at how we can use regenerative agriculture to shape the future of farming, and inspiring others to get involved in those approaches.

You’ve been the ones to break the mould, championing the vital role of nature in sustainable food production from the start – the pioneers of an agricultural transition that must be just and must recognise the importance of community and tradition as we shape that future.

Protecting British food security has never been more important. We’ve just had our warmest spring on record. Flooding is on the rise. Geopolitical events are threatening global food supply chains.

Food security is national security. And you, more than anyone, know it’s only by restoring nature that we can make our food secure.

Restoring nature is central to the Government’s approach.

In the Spending Review, we committed to spend £2.7 billion a year on sustainable farming and nature’s recovery over the next three years.

Funding for farmers through the Environmental Land Management schemes will increase by 150 per cent to £2 billion by 2029. And a further £400 million will be available from other nature schemes, including projects for tree planting and peatland restoration.

This is the biggest financial investment in nature-friendly farming in our country’s history.

Take a moment to compare this to 2017, when Groundswell first started. Back then, £350 million was invested into ELMs’ predecessor.

Thanks to your efforts, nature-friendly farming has come a very long way in the past nine years.

There are now over 39,000 SFI agreements producing fantastic results for nature. That’s something to celebrate.

[Political line removed]

We’ve got the money out the door into farmers’ bank accounts, and I’m proud of that. But once you’ve spent a budget, you can’t keep spending it or you damage the economy, and we’re not doing that.

Those farmers who missed out at the time the scheme closed to new applicants will be able to make claims once it reopens. But budgets can’t be unlimited, so we need to make sure we focus that public money where it’s going to make the biggest impact.

Farms are businesses, and all businesses need to be profitable to survive. I see it as central to my job to help make farming profitable.

I firmly believe the Sustainable Farming Incentive and ELMs are the best tools to support farmers’ transition to sustainable food production and to profitability.

Later this summer, I will provide more details of our reformed SFI offer. We are working with farmers to shape the scheme, which will start accepting applications in the new year.

We need to return firmly to the principle of public money for public goods.

Our reformed SFI will maximise benefits for the environment, particularly around water quality and biodiversity, so we can clean up our polluted rivers, welcome wildlife back to farms, and strengthen the natural foundations that are vital to sustainable food production.

We will simplify the SFI and support farmers to take on packages of actions which, when done together, achieve more for nature. And I know we need to upgrade the IT system so it’s easier for farmers to submit applications.

That is part of my broader plan to rewire and reset Defra, to remove the bureaucracy and barriers that stand in the way of people getting the support they need.

More environmental benefits, a simpler offer, supporting farmers through the transition, a focus on profitability, and visibility of the overall budget so we get it out the door and you know when it’s going to be fully allocated.

This will be the shape of our reformed SFI.

We’re also reopening our Capital Grants offer today – with £150 million in the latest round to invest in nature-friendly farming.

That includes funding to plant hedgerows, buy equipment that will help clean up our rivers, or restore habitats that support biodiversity.

Farmers and land managers can apply for a total of 78 items under the latest round, including four new items on woodland condition, wildlife management, stone walls and educational visits.

We’ve taken time to assess and improve our offer. Putting funding limits on certain actions will ensure we manage budgets fairly so we can open the grants over a longer period of time.

The SFI and Capital Grants form part of a much wider reset for farming.

We want to support farmers to run profitable and financially resilient businesses that produce nutritious, high-quality food and other produce, and help to restore nature at the same time.

Our 25-Year Farming Roadmap will outline our shared vision for the sector and set the direction for how we get there. It will give farmers clarity, stability and transparency.

This will be a transition led by farm businesses, drawing on your experiences and your expertise.

With government as the enabler, but farmers as the leaders.

We’ve seen how effective farm clusters can be in supporting nature over a wider area – an initiative led by the sector which the Government can support.

I’ve asked Baroness Minette Batters, former NFU President, to lead a review into how we can boost farm profitability – and she has written to the sector to get your ideas to inform the review.

And we’re continuing to work with the Farm Tenancy Forum to ensure tenant farmers can access our reformed farming schemes.

The farming sector is also leading the way on innovation.

Agri-tech is one of our highest growth sectors, with 40 times the number of UK agri-tech businesses than we had ten years ago.

Our ADOPT programme puts farmers in the driving seat, giving them the chance to test new technologies on their farm – such as solar panels on soft polytunnels or cultivation equipment to improve soil health in potato production.

Under the Government’s Industrial Strategy, we are taking this further. We’re investing over £200 million in the Farming Innovation Programme between now and 2030, as well as launching an Agri-Tech Export Accelerator Programme to help agri-tech businesses identify the best international markets.

It’s been an interesting year, and certainly far from always straightforward.

But we are now at a point where we can make things work better for farmers, food production and nature. I strongly believe in nature-positive farming. It is the way we can help farming to become more sustainable and successful both environmentally and financially.

You are the pioneers. I’m here to learn. Together we can give farming the bright and exciting future it, and our countryside, needs and deserves.

MIL-OSI Africa: Promoting inclusive regional trade: Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) mobilises stakeholders along the Abidjan–Lagos corridor to support women traders

Source: APO

.

The ECOWAS Commission launched on Monday in Abidjan the third edition of its regional information and awareness campaign for small-scale cross-border women traders along the Abidjan–Lagos corridor. This initiative, which will run until 15 July 2025, aims to strengthen women’s economic participation in regional trade by improving their access to information, training, and a safer trading environment.

The Department of Human Development and Social Affairs and the Department of Economic Affairs and Agriculture of the ECOWAS Commission are co-organising the third edition of the Information and Awareness Campaign for small-scale cross-border women traders along the Abidjan–Lagos corridor, from 30 June to 15 July 2025.

The objective of this campaign is to build on the achievements and results of the 2023 and 2024 editions conducted along the Tema–Paga and Dakar–Banjul–Bissau corridors, in order to facilitate cross-border trade and improve operations for small-scale women traders by strengthening their knowledge and understanding of the regulations governing cross-border trade and related regional initiatives.

As part of the implementation of this campaign, an official launch ceremony—co-chaired by the Minister of Trade and Industry and the Minister of Women, Family and Children—was held on 30 June 2025 at the NOOM Hotel in Abidjan. The ceremony was graced by the effective participation of H.E. Mrs. Massandjé TOURE-LITSE, ECOWAS Commissioner for Economic Affairs and Agriculture.

The official launch of the information and awareness campaign was preceded by a public Town Hall meeting focused on raising awareness about ECOWAS cross-border trade policies and strategies, capacity building for women traders, the toolkit designed for small-scale cross-border women traders (border transparency and the fight against gender-based violence), and GIZ initiatives to boost intra-regional agri-food trade, improve coordination of regional policies, strengthen economic integration, and ensure food security.

The launch event also saw the participation of the ECOWAS Resident Representative in Côte d’Ivoire, the ECOWAS National Office in Côte d’Ivoire, the Abidjan Chamber of Commerce, representatives of associations of small-scale cross-border women traders, and technical and financial partners.
