NEC Develops Near Real-time RIC for High Performance 5G vRAN
TOKYO, Feb 21, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) has developed a Near Real-time RAN Intelligent Controller (Near-RT RIC) platform and RIC applications that enable flexible and intelligent network control that is compliant with the O-RAN Alliance (*1) specifications for virtualized Radio Access Networks (vRAN).In recent years, as the spread of cutting-edge technologies such as generative AI has progressed rapidly, there are high expectations for the provision of new user experiences that utilize these technologies. As the infrastructure that supports these experiences, 5G networks require high scalability and flexibility to effectively support new services, as well as mechanisms to efficiently operate existing services.In order to provide an advanced 5G network that meets these requirements, NEC has developed a Near-RT RIC platform that enables flexible and intelligent network control in accordance with O-RAN Alliance specifications for vRAN and runs on general-purpose hardware. This makes it possible to dynamically customize RAN (base station) settings according to service requirements and network conditions. Furthermore, as RIC applications that run on this platform, NEC has implemented functions for load balancing between cells, guaranteeing the Service Level Agreement (SLA) for slices, and achieving high reliability with acceptable latency (*2).Features of NEC's Near-RT RIC:The Near-RT RIC developed by NEC can flexibly support functional enhancements such as quality improvement, SLA guarantees, and power saving by dynamically customizing RAN operations in response to diversifying service requirements by adding RIC applications, including the following:RIC Application Examples:1. Load balancing between cellsThe application can quickly resolve load imbalances between adjacent cells, and in environments where network load fluctuates depending on time of day and location, it can improve the throughput of terminals connected to cells with high load.2. SLA guarantee for slicesBy dynamically optimizing the radio resources for each slice, it is possible to provide quality of service (QoS) in accordance with the SLA to the terminals connected to the slice, even in a congested network environment.3. High reliability with acceptable latencyBy using AI to analyze acceptable latency and fluctuations in radio quality, and dynamically optimizing radio control for each terminal, it is possible to increase the satisfaction rate of acceptable latency in environments where there is a high demand for reliability in the arrival of data within an acceptable latency.Moreover, since RIC control is separated from conventional RAN functions and operates on a virtualized platform via an interface that complies with O-RAN Alliance specifications, it is possible to quickly incorporate hardware and software innovations related to AI.By utilizing these mechanisms to automate and make RAN operations more autonomous, it is possible to continuously improve the value of vRAN while keeping Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) down.NEC has also demonstrated the effectiveness of its high-reliability function for achieving acceptable latency in an indoor test environment using 5G vRAN.Overview and Results of the Technical Verification:Using 5G vRAN, NEC built a network for remotely controlling mobile robots (*3) in an indoor environment and conducted a demonstration experiment of an RIC application that achieves high reliability in terms of acceptable latency. By dynamically optimizing radio control for each mobile robot terminal, NEC demonstrated that the frequency of packets exceeding the acceptable latency could be reduced to less than 1/6 of the frequency when RIC was not used.Future Developments:NEC will continue to contribute to improving service quality in the mobile network market, from corporate digital transformation (DX) to general users, by expanding Near-RT RIC applications that improve network quality, save power, and improve operational autonomy using AI, in order to achieve the advancement of vRAN with an eye on Beyond 5G/6G.*Part of the results of this news release is based on results obtained from the "Research and Development Project of the Enhanced Infrastructures for Post-5G Information and Communication Systems" (JPNP20017), commissioned by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).(1) O-RAN AllianceAn international industry organization that promotes standardization with the aim of realizing open and scalable next-generation radio access networks, including 5G.(2) Acceptable latencyThe communication latency that users and/or applications can tolerate.(3) Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR)About NEC CorporationNEC Corporation has established itself as a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies while promoting the brand statement of “Orchestrating a brighter world.” NEC enables businesses and communities to adapt to rapid changes taking place in both society and the market as it provides for the social values of safety, security, fairness and efficiency to promote a more sustainable world where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential.

特朗普政府取消對五十萬海地人的遣返保護
(SeaPRwire) - 華盛頓 — 川普政府正在取消對大約 50 萬海地人的遣返保護，這意味著他們將失去工作許可，並可能在 8 月份被驅逐出境。 週四宣布的這項決定是川普政府為兌現大規模驅逐出境的競選承諾，並特別縮減臨時保護身份 (Temporary Protected Status) (TPS) 的使用所做出的廣泛努力的一部分，該身份在拜登政府領導下得到廣泛擴展，涵蓋了大約 100 萬移民。 國土安全部在一份新聞稿中表示，它正在撤銷拜登政府關於更新海地人臨時保護身份 (Temporary Protected Status) 的決定，該身份賦予人們在該國的合法權力，但不提供獲得公民身份的長期途徑。 受到保護的人依賴政府在他們的身份到期時更新他們的身份。包括共和黨人和川普政府在內的批評人士表示，隨著時間的推移，無論該人的祖國發生什麼事，保護身份的更新都會自動進行。 國土安全部在宣布這一變更的聲明中表示：「幾十年來，TPS 系統一直被利用和濫用。例如，自 2010 年以來，海地一直被指定為 TPS。數據顯示，每次延長該國的 TPS 指定都允許更多的海地國民，甚至是非法進入美國的人，有資格獲得合法的保護身份。」 國土安全部表示，截至 2011 年，估計有 57,000 名海地人有資格獲得 TPS 保護，但到去年 7 月，這一數字已攀升至 520,694 人。 在 Florida Immigrant Coalition 擔任執行董事的海地裔美國人 Tessa Petit 說：「將 50 萬人送回死亡率如此之高的國家，這完全是不人道的」，她說海地符合獲得保護的所有要求。「我們確實希望，因為他們說他們將重新審視，所以他們將政治放在一邊，將人道主義放在首位。」 46 歲的海地人 Farah Larrieux 於 2005 年抵達美國，自 2010 年以來一直受到 TPS 的保護，她說該決定表明官員「不在乎海地正在發生的事情」。 Larrieux 說：「在海地沒有人是安全的」，她是南佛羅里達州一家小型通訊公司的老闆，美國大多數海地人都住在那里。「這擾亂了在這個國家做出如此多貢獻的人們。人們一直在為這個國家付出他們的汗水、生命和犧牲。」 目前尚不清楚一旦他們的保護到期，人們會以多快的速度被驅逐出境。有些人可能會申請其他類型的保護，並且大規模驅逐出境存在後勤方面的挑戰。 海地移民局局長 Jean Negot Bonheur Delva 表示，在川普政府領導下，到目前為止只有 21 名海地人被驅逐出境，但他指出，該組織已經安排在拜登政府領導下被驅逐出境。根據追蹤飛行數據的倡導團體 Witness at the Border 的數據，2024 年總共有 9 個航班飛往海地。 Delva 對於將人們送回一個仍在暴力中掙扎，並且由於幫派暴力導致 100 多萬人無家可歸的國家所造成的壓力表示擔憂。 Delva 說：「離開海地去尋找更好生活的人們將會回來，這非常令人難過。由於不安全問題和缺乏資源，他們將會很痛苦。」 根據聯合國的數據，去年海地報告有 5,600 多人死亡。許多流離失所者生活在擁擠的臨時避難所中，包括廢棄的政府建築物，強姦案越來越普遍。 幫派控制了海地首都的 85%，並發起了新的襲擊以奪取更多的領土。最近的屠殺奪走了數百名平民的生命。 Delva 說，海地政府最近成立了一個委員會來幫助那些被驅逐出境的人。 他說：「他們是海地的孩子。一位母親必須從任何地方接回她的孩子。」 國會在 1990 年創建了 TPS，以防止將人們驅逐到遭受自然災害或內亂的國家，並授權人們一次最多工作 18 個月。 在拜登政府末期，來自 17 個國家的 100 萬移民受到 TPS 的保護，其中包括來自委內瑞拉、海地、宏都拉斯、尼加拉瓜、阿富汗、蘇丹、烏克蘭和黎巴嫩的人。 川普政府已經採取行動結束對委內瑞拉人的保護。 兩個非營利組織週四提起訴訟，對該決定提出質疑。 —Associated Press 的記者 Evens Sanon 在海地太子港和 Gisela Salomon 在邁阿密對本報導做出了貢獻。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
川普欽點的FBI局長人選卡什·帕特爾，獲參議院確認 “`
` tags. ` (SeaPRwire) - 參議院週四投票確認 Kashyap “Kash” Patel 為新任 FBI 局長，投票結果大致依黨派劃分。 51 名參議員投票贊成 Patel 的任命，49 票反對，這鞏固了他作為國家主要聯邦執法機構負責人的地位。 兩位備受矚目的共和黨參議員，阿拉斯加州的 Lisa Murkowski 和緬因州的 Susan Collins，明顯投了反對票。任期最長的參議院黨派領袖，共和黨參議員 Mitch McConnell，宣布他將，投票贊成 Patel 的提名。這一舉動讓許多人感到驚訝，特別是因為 McConnell 之前曾反對川普的三個主要人選。McConnell 反對 Pete Hegseth 擔任國防部長、Tulsi Gabbard 擔任國家情報總監，以及 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 擔任衛生與公共服務部部長。 Patel 的確認意味著他將接替 FBI 局長 Christopher Wray 的職位，Wray 宣布他將在川普於 2017 年首次任命他上任之前辭職。Wray 的 10 年任期還剩下三年，但在總統暗示打算解僱他之後辭職，可能因為他不喜歡 FBI 對是否存在推翻 2020 年大選計劃的調查。 在週四的聽證會上，Patel 表示，對美國最大的威脅是阻止恐怖主義和中國共產黨的間諜活動。 Patel 是眾所周知的川普忠實支持者，並且一直是他現在將要監督的機構的堅定批評者。在他 2023 年出版的書《Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy》中，Patel 公布了一份他稱之為「深層政府」成員的名單，其中包括前川普司法部長 Bill Barr、前副總統 Kamala Harris，以及川普政府時期的前國家安全顧問 John Bolton 等等。 Patel 試圖在 1 月的參議院司法委員會聽證會上收回這一觀點，稱 98% 的 FBI 探員是「勇敢的、非政治性的正義戰士」，並聲稱他要赦免 1 月 6 日的被告。 然而，在週四的聽證會上，當佛蒙特州參議員 Peter Welch 提問時，Patel 最初拒絕表示總統 Joe Biden 贏得了 2020 年總統大選。 他也因為表示他將關閉 FBI Hoover Building 並將其變成「深層政府博物館」而受到批評。 Patel 的確認對許多人來說並不意外。 共和黨人基本上團結起來支持 Patel 以及川普的大部分提名，呼籲改革他們認為存在「雙重標準」司法系統的機構，田納西州參議員 Marsha Blackburn 在週四的聽證會上說。 與此同時，許多民主黨人稱 Patel 為不合格的人選，有些人擔心他會對不同意川普的人進行政治黨派性的攻擊。「Kash Patel 是一位極端的 MAGA 忠實支持者，他會讓我們的國家變得不安全，」參議院民主黨黨鞭 Dick Durbin，參議院司法委員會的資深成員，在 1 月份表示。「他盲目地忠於 Donald Trump，而且只忠於 Donald Trump。 他有一系列的委屈，並且有攻擊那些不同意他的人的歷史。 這不是那種應該領導 FBI 的非黨派、執法專業人士。」 在他的職位上，Patel 將管理 55 個外地辦事處，擁有超過 37,000 名員工。 本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
剖析勞勃·狄尼洛 Netflix 政治驚悚片Zero Day的意外結局 “`
` tags. Here is the translated content: (SeaPRwire) - 警告：這篇文章包含《Zero Day》的劇透。 「那些是事實，但不是真相。」 正如前美國總統，現任特別委員會調查員喬治·穆倫（）在Netflix新政治驚悚片《Zero Day》的最後一幕中發表了高潮迭起的閉幕演講，正是這種承認觸及了該劇關於真相在當今世界重要性的核心訊息。 由製作人Eric Newman（，《毒梟》）和前NBC News總裁Noah Oppenheim創作，並由艾美獎得主Lesli Linka Glatter（，《廣告狂人》）執導，這部共六集的劇集現已在串流媒體上播放，講述了穆倫試圖追蹤一場全國性網絡攻擊的肇事者，這場攻擊短暫地癱瘓了美國的電力網絡——造成數千人死亡並引發廣泛恐慌——然後他們才能再次發動攻擊。然而，穆倫也在處理自己的心魔，包括記憶失誤以及聽覺和視覺幻覺，這使他（以及他周圍的人）質疑他的判斷。 《Zero Day》的結局成功地為De Niro飾演的衰老且一度備受尊敬的領導人被現任總統Evelyn Mitchell（）召回以查明這種前所未有威脅的故事畫上了一個令人滿意的句點。雖然該劇確實留下了一些未解之謎——我們需要自己決定穆倫的精神錯亂是早期癡呆症的結果，還是被稱為普羅透斯的最高機密神經武器——但至少我們得到了關於誰策劃了Zero Day攻擊以及他們認為它會實現什麼的答案。 誰是Zero Day攻擊的幕後黑手？ 在科技億萬富翁Monica Kidder（Gaby Hoffmann飾）在倒數第二集中被捕並隨後明顯自殺後，我們了解了穆倫的女兒艾利克斯（Lizzy Caplan飾）和她的幾位國會議員同僚在Zero Day陰謀中的全部參與程度。 在眾議院議長Richard Dreyer（Matthew Modine飾）的辦公室舉行的一次團體會議上，艾利克斯透露，她認為Zero Day將是「一分鐘的系統衝擊」，它將在幾個月內將權力交到正確的人手中，恢復對政府的信心，並使國家重回正軌。她從未想過任何人會受到傷害，並懇求該團體坦白。但是，Dreyer堅持他們必須完成他們開始的事情。 當電網再次癱瘓時，對他安全的威脅迫使穆倫試圖逃離他在紐約州北部的住所，儘管大門口有抗議者。混亂和暴力隨之而來，但中央情報局局長Jeremy Lasch（Bill Camp飾）及時趕到，秘密地將穆倫帶走，同時發出報告說他已經被殺。 Lasch解釋說，他和總統Mitchell強烈懷疑Zero Day涉及來自政府內部的行動者，這就是為什麼他們需要像穆倫這樣在正常渠道之外的人來進行調查。 當穆倫在艾利克斯的公寓裡與她對質時，她解釋說，Kidder是在Dreyer和他的走狗提出這個想法之後，才主動提出通過她的公司Panoply擁有的應用程式部署用於攻擊的惡意軟體。然後，她懇求她父親的幫助。 穆倫召集Dreyer參加一個秘密會議，並威脅要逮捕他，但Dreyer不客氣地提出了一種不同的行動方案：他和其餘有罪的國會議員將在任期屆滿時辭職，穆倫可以將Zero Day歸咎於Kidder和可疑的億萬富翁投資者Robert Lyndon（Clark Gregg飾），這樣就可以結束了。如果穆倫不同意，艾利克斯將與其他所有人一起倒霉。 在向國會聯席會議提交Zero Day委員會的最終報告時，穆倫再次開始聽到他發現已故兒子屍體時播放的歌曲。這促使他停止準備好的演講，而是發自內心地講述了為什麼真相如此重要。然後，他讀了艾利克斯留給他的一封信，她在信中承認了自己的參與，並表示她計劃自首。 儘管個人、專業和國家後果都岌岌可危，但穆倫還是選擇公開披露了所有參與動搖美國核心的致命Zero Day網絡恐怖攻擊的所有人的身份。穆倫顯然希望他的誠實將引導他這個四分五裂的國家開始新的篇章，並幫助美國人民團結起來，共同對抗共同的敵人。這是一個苦樂參半的結局，該劇的最後幾個場景暗示，穆倫現在為了做「正確」的事而失去了其餘的家人。 當然，在現實生活中，對於當代美國兩極分化的可怕局面，似乎永遠不可能有如此簡單的解決方案。正如所說，「該劇為了避免冒犯所做的極端努力，它提供的關於真理和自由的陳詞濫調，以代替更具體和可能引起爭議的見解，感覺有點像背叛了它直言不諱的英雄。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
因抗議而從川普政府辭職的所有人
(SeaPRwire) - 許多知名的政府官員在作為精簡政府運作的一環後，決定從川普政府辭職。 這些專業官員，其中許多曾在前幾屆總統政府任職，譴責總統唐納·川普和億萬富翁Elon Musk，他們似乎在施壓那些不被認為對新政府忠誠的員工放棄工作。今年二月，川普政府與新成立的政府效率部 (Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE)，在Musk的領導下，密切合作，下令各機構終止大多數試用期和臨時僱員的職務。 以下是因抗議而從川普政府辭職的政府官員名單。 美國食品藥物管理局食品部門主管 美國食品藥物管理局食品部門主管Jim Jones於2月17日辭職，理由是該機構的“不分青紅皂白”的削減，他表示這將使他“無法繼續工作”。 根據報導，Jones在他的辭職信中寫道：“我一直期待著努力實現該部門的議程，即通過減少與飲食相關的慢性疾病和食品中的化學物質風險來改善美國人的健康。”他補充說，川普政府“鄙視那些”需要實施食品安全改革的人，使他別無選擇，只能離開。 Jones於2023年9月加入該機構，最近監督了拜登政府於1月發布的，以及美國食品藥物管理局對受污染蘋果醬的調查，該蘋果醬與數十起兒童鉛中毒病例有關。他在信中估計，由於川普政府的削減，他所在部門的2,000名員工中，有89名被解僱。 Jones還批評了新上任的衛生與公共服務部（Department of Health and Human Services, HSS）部長小羅伯特·F·肯尼迪，因為他“損害了食品工作人員的誠信，斷言他們因虛假信息而腐敗。” 社會安全管理局代理局長 根據的報導，社會安全管理局 (Social Security Administration, SSA) 的最高官員Michelle King在DOGE尋求訪問包含美國人私人信息的敏感記錄後，辭去了代理局長的職務。 King拒絕將敏感信息交給DOGE員工，並由Leland Dudek接任代理局長。 King在該機構工作了30年，該機構負責監督退休人員和殘疾人福利。川普在2月18日的新聞發布會上告訴記者，King並未辭職，而是被解僱了：“你知道，當你解僱某人時，他們總是辭職，然後他們說，'我們辭職了'。但是當你有這樣的數字時，我認為這真的是[你]被解僱了。” GSA工程主管 據報導，總務管理局 (General Services Administration, GSA) 技術轉型服務部門的首席工程師Steven Reilly於2月18日辭職，此前，現在負責該部門的DOGE盟友Thomas Shedd要求訪問敏感數據，包括個人身份信息 (personally identifiable information, PII)。 根據《華盛頓郵報》報導，Reilly在給同事的告別信中寫道：“我們尚未收到此請求的理由，這使得很難提出在保護公眾[個人身份信息]的同時實現Thomas目標的替代方法。我們已經向Thomas明確表示，此級別的權限將允許訪問PII。雖然我們提出了替代方案，例如只讀訪問權限，但Thomas繼續要求完全管理員/root訪問權限。” Reilly領導了的工程團隊，該系統用於向公眾發送大量短信。 司法部職業官員 司法部官員通常會從一屆政府連任到下一屆政府。但自川普上任以來，包括華盛頓特區和紐約的頂級檢察官在內的數十名職業官員已經辭職，以抗議他呼籲改組他認為被用來對付他的部門。 在代理副司法部長Emil Bove下令他們撤銷對紐約市長Eric Adams的刑事腐敗指控後，已有辭職。 Adams是一名民主黨人，他拒不認罪並否認有不當行為，他將於四月份因賄賂和競選財務違規行為接受審判，他與川普及其邊境沙皇Tom Homan建立了聯繫，特別是在移民問題上。 辭職的官員包括紐約南區代理美國檢察官Danielle Sassoon；紐約南區助理美國檢察官Hagan Scotten；司法部公共廉政部門代理負責人John Keller；以及司法部刑事部門代理負責人Kevin Driscoll。 在司法部的其他地方，曾在川普的第一個任期內被任命為副司法部長的高級道德官員Bradley Weinsheimer在政府試圖將他重新分配到一個新的工作組後，接受了政府的延期辭職提議。 Weinsheimer在該部門工作了34年。 華盛頓特區美國檢察官辦公室刑事部門負責人Denise Cheung在收到川普司法部的命令，要求對拜登時代的氣候基金展開大陪審團調查後，於2月18日辭職，她認為這為時過早且缺乏證據支持。 根據報導，Cheung在她的辭職信中寫道：“當我解釋說證據的數量不支持該行動時，您表示您認為有足夠的證據。我仍然不相信有足夠的證據來發出您描述的信。”自2000年以來一直在美國檢察官辦公室工作的Cheung拒絕了開啟調查並使用司法部權力凍結該氣候資金的命令，聲稱只有在檢察官有“可能理由”相信已發生犯罪行為時，才允許採取該步驟。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
這位社運人士想徹底終結女性割禮 “`
(SeaPRwire) - 對於Fatou Baldeh來說，過去的一年對於終結女性生殖器切割（FGM）的鬥爭至關重要。作為一名倖存者和組織Women in Liberation & Leadership (WILL)的創始人，41歲的Baldeh是甘比亞反對這種習俗的主要活動家。儘管FGM自2015年以來已在她的國家被禁止，但它仍然發生：根據統計，約有75%的15至49歲的婦女和女孩遭受過切割。 FGM可能導致長期的健康影響，並在國際上被認為是侵犯人權的行為。 倡導者表示，禁止這種做法的法律執行不力。 「我們仍然存在這些問題，當我們遇到案件時，我們會去警察局報案，而警察會說，『這是我們的文化，這是我們的傳統。』所以他們不認為這是一種犯罪，」Baldeh說。 過去一年，甘比亞國會議員審議了一項法案。 「這是一次對婦女權利的攻擊，」Baldeh說。她和WILL與其他組織合作，共同反對該法案。他們與倖存者聯繫，倖存者與國會議員分享了他們的經歷，並與宗教領袖討論了這個問題。他們進行了一項全國性研究，以記錄FGM對健康的影響，並將這些證據提交給政治家。他們成功了：2024年7月，甘比亞議會。 Baldeh說，過去的一年打開了對話：「人們正在談論它，這是一件積極的事情，因為如果我們不談論它，我們就無法結束這種做法。」 Baldeh說，該法案的消息已將FGM問題重新帶回「聚光燈下」——不僅僅是對於甘比亞，而且對於世界其他地方也是如此。 「現在是2025年，小女孩被壓住，她們的生殖器以文化和傳統的名義被切割，」她說。 「當整個事件在甘比亞發生時，它確實引起了人們的注意。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

(SeaPRwire) - 每年冬天，當我們坐下來思考時，我們都會問自己同樣的問題：目前世界各地的女性和女孩面臨的最重大問題是什麼？挑戰比比皆是，從 和 對 的攻擊 到 的危險。 但在每個威脅出現的地方，也能找到推動變革的領導者。 今年榜單上的 13 位女性都以自己的方式，努力創造一個更美好、更公平的世界。 在今年的專題報導中，有兩個故事是關於普通女性，她們在面對個人悲劇時，採取了非凡的行動。 秋天，在普羅旺斯，一位 72 歲的祖母 Gisèle Pelicot 發現自己身處 一個 的中心，她的丈夫最終被判有罪，罪名是向她下藥並邀請 70 多名男子在未經她知情的情況下與她發生性關係。 Pelicot 選擇放棄她的法律匿名權，使她成為世界各地倖存者的英雄，因為她呼籲法國及其他地區進行變革。 「我說這不是勇敢，」她於十月在法庭上說。「這是改變社會的意志和決心。」 和 Pelicot 一樣，Amanda Zurawski 從未想過自己會成為一名活動家。 她只是一位興奮地想成為父母的女性，但由於懷孕併發症，她流產並需要墮胎。 由於當時德克薩斯州幾乎完全禁止墮胎，這是最高法院 Dobbs 判決的結果，Zurawski 一直 ，直到她的身體狀況非常糟糕，以至於她的生殖器官受到了永久性損害。 她於 2023 年起訴該州，但德克薩斯州最高法院於去年 5 月 。 現在，Zurawski 在美國保護生殖權利的運動中非常突出，她仍然決心：「放棄不是我的本性。」 今年，我們向那些發現問題並發誓要成為解決方案一部分的女性致敬。 當演員 Olivia Munn 被診斷出患有乳腺癌時， 她在社交媒體上，鼓勵其他人使用篩檢工具，儘管她的乳房 X 光檢查結果正常，但仍促使她進行進一步的檢查。 當甘比亞活動家 Fatou Baldeh 得知她的政府威脅要取消對女性生殖器切割的保護時， 對於她為維護這些保護措施所做的努力。 當 Nicole Kidman 出現在 上，並意識到 2017 年好萊塢權力平衡需要轉變時，她發誓每 18 個月至少與一位女性導演合作。 在此後的八年中，她已經與 19 位女性在電影和電視領域合作製作或演出。 這有助於 Kidman 最近主演新銳電影製作人 Halina Reijn 的 ， 並感受到保持忙碌的動力。 因為她的參與可以推動一個項目獲得批准，她實際上創造了就業機會。 好萊塢的現狀可以改變，她說，「但只有真正參與女性的電影才能改變。」 代表權很重要，但投資也很重要。 在過去的一年中，沒有哪個領域比女子體育更能顯著地讚揚女性的力量和成就。 體操運動員 Jordan Chiles 和 WNBA 球星 A’ja Wilson 在巴黎奧運會前夕相遇時，很快成為了朋友。 他們 談到 2024 年女子體育前所未有的觀眾參與度和不斷增加的財政支持。「它為我們所有人打開了大門，」Wilson 說。「更棒的是，我們贏了——而且我們看起來很棒。」 Kidman、Wilson、Chiles 等人將在本月晚些時候在洛杉磯舉行的年度晚會上與我們會合， Laufey，也將在晚會上進行特別表演。 我們很高興在我們最喜歡的年度活動中，在包括 Rolex 在內的合作夥伴的支持下，召集如此鼓舞人心的領導者——我們迫不及待地想聽聽她們的看法。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
參議院力推卡什·帕特爾擔任聯邦調查局局長
(SeaPRwire) - 華盛頓——參議院定於週四就確認卡什·帕特爾為聯邦調查局局長一事進行投票，這一決定可能會讓他領導美國主要的聯邦執法機構，儘管民主黨人對他的資質以及他可能聽命於唐納德·特朗普總統的可能性表示擔憂。 帕特爾上週以12比10的黨派表決結果通過了參議院司法委員會的審查，並定於週四下午由共和黨控制的參議院審議。 除非超過三名共和黨參議員違抗特朗普的意願而投票反對他，否則他預計將獲得確認，而這被認為不太可能。儘管共和黨最初對他的幾項選擇表示懷疑，但特朗普已經獲得了他大部分被提名人的批准。 帕特爾是特朗普的忠實追隨者，他曾強烈批評他即將領導的機構，他將接手一個陷入困境的聯邦調查局。司法部上個月迫使一群聯邦調查局高級官員離職，並非常規地要求提供數千名參與調查2021年1月6日美國國會大廈暴亂事件的探員的名單。 特朗普表示，他預計其中一些探員將被解僱。 共和黨人對拜登政府時期執法部門對保守派人士的偏見以及對特朗普的刑事調查感到憤怒，他們團結一致支持帕特爾擔任這一職位。同時，民主黨人抱怨他的管理經驗不足，與其他擔任過局長職位的人相比，並強調了他過去煽動性的言論，他們認為這些言論質疑了他的判斷力。 「我的預測是，如果你投票支持卡什·帕特爾，你所做的任何其他確認投票都比不上這次，你將終生後悔這一票，」康涅狄格州民主黨參議員克里斯·墨菲本週表示。 帕特爾在過去四年裡在數百個播客節目中發表了引人注目的言論，其中包括稱調查特朗普的執法官員為「犯罪匪徒」，稱一些1月6日的暴徒為「政治犯」，並承諾要對政府和媒體中的反特朗普「陰謀者」進行「追究」。 在他上個月的確認聽證會上，帕特爾表示，民主黨人曲解了他的一些言論，或者誤解了他試圖闡述的更廣泛的觀點，例如，當他提議關閉華盛頓的聯邦調查局總部並將其改造成所謂的「深層政府」博物館時。帕特爾否認他書中列出的他認為屬於「深層政府」的政府官員名單等同於「敵人名單」，稱這是「完全的誤解」。 聯邦調查局局長被授予10年的任期，目的是為了使他們免受政治影響，並防止他們依附於某位總統或政府。帕特爾於11月被選中接替克里斯托弗·雷，後者於2017年由特朗普任命，任職時間超過七年，但他一再激怒總統，並被總統視為不夠忠誠。他在特朗普上任前辭職。 帕特爾曾是一名前聯邦辯護律師和司法部反恐檢察官，在他第一個任期內，作為共和黨領導的眾議院情報委員會的工作人員，他協助撰寫了一份備忘錄，尖銳地批評了聯邦調查局對俄羅斯與特朗普2016年競選活動之間聯繫的調查，從而引起了特朗普的注意。 帕特爾後來加入了特朗普政府，擔任國家安全委員會的反恐官員和國防部長辦公室主任。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
美國國務卿 Marco Rubio 冷落於南非舉行的G20外長會議
(SeaPRwire) - 約翰尼斯堡 — 二十國集團 (G20) 外長會議將於週四在約翰尼斯堡舉行，但由於南非和美國之間的外交緊張，美國國務卿 Marco Rubio 將不會出席。 包括俄羅斯外交部長 Sergey Lavrov 和中國外交部長王毅在內的外交官預計將出席此次會議，而美國將由駐南非代理大使 Dana Brown 代表。 歐盟、聯合國和屬於 G20 的非洲聯盟也將出席。 在美國總統 Donald Trump 發布一項行政命令，停止對南非的援助後，Rubio 冷落了這次會議，白宮表示，該命令相當於歧視該國的白人少數族裔。美國也對南非在國際法院對以色列提出的訴訟表示不滿。 南非外交部長 Ronald Lamola 表示，Rubio 的決定「並非完全抵制南非的 G20」。他說，美國本週將「以某種形式」派代表出席在約翰尼斯堡舉行的會議。 美國財政部長 Scott Bessent 也已確認他將不會出席定於下週在南非舉行的 G20 財長會議。 Bessent 在社交媒體平台 X 上表示，由於在華盛頓有要務，他將不會參加此次活動。他說，一位高級財政部官員將代替他出席。 分析人士表示，Rubio 和 Bessent 的缺席表明美國正在從 G20 撤退，並表明雙方關係有多麼緊張。 政治分析家 Daniel Bradlow 說：「我認為，如果我們真的想知道美國政府試圖發出什麼訊息，你必須知道財政部長下週是否會來。如果他選擇也不來，這就是一個相當嚴重的信號。」 總統 Cyril Ramaphosa 預計將在「團結、平等和可持續性」的主題下正式開幕並發表演講，Rubio 將其描述為多樣性、平等和包容框架——新任 Trump 政府公開反對這一點。 南非今年將舉辦 130 多場工作組會議和 23 場部長級會議，這是他們去年 12 月開始擔任 G20 輪值主席國的一部分。 美國預計將在南非任期結束後於 2026 年接任 G20 輪值主席國。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
Carl Zeiss Honors EuroEyes International for Exceptional Milestone in AT LISA(R) Trifocal Lens Implantations
HONG KONG, Feb 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Carl Zeiss Meditec AG (“Carl Zeiss”) is proud to honor EuroEyes International Eye Clinic Limited (“EuroEyes International” or the “Company”) for achieving the prestigious title of the most AT LISA® trifocal lens Implantations worldwide for nine consecutive years. This recognition underscores EuroEyes International's significant contributions to the field of ophthalmology and highlights its leadership in innovative eye care solutions.At a ceremony held in Hong Kong today, Carl Zeiss acknowledged EuroEyes International's remarkable milestone of successfully completed more than a million procedures in the past 32 years, the most of its kind in the world. The milestone achievement not only stands as proof of EuroEyes International's commitment to excellence in innovative and patient-centered eye care, but also highlights its crucial role in advancing vision correction through implantation of trifocal lenses and setting new standards in ophthalmic practices.“We are proud to receive this recognition, which speaks clearly to our determination to achieve excellence in ophthalmology. Our dedicated team has worked diligently to help patients restore their vision with state-on-the-art technologies and in turn enhance their quality of life,” said Dr. Jørn S. Jørgensen, CEO of EuroEyes International.“Congratulations to EuroEyes International for making such an extraordinary achievement nine years in a row, which is an inspiration for all of us in the field worldwide to push for advancements in eye care technology and practices. Together with EuroEyes International, we look forward to reaching new heights and making yet greater success in the near future,” said Mr. Magnus Reibenspiess, Head of Strategic Business Unit Ophthalmology, President ZEISS Ophthalmology.Dr. Jørn S. Jørgensen added, “We have seen a rising trend of presbyopia in mainland China, Hong Kong, and globally. The company believes its trifocal lens implantation is currently one of the best solutions for correcting this condition in patients and effectively addressing relevant growing market demand.”According to its 2024 interim results, EuroEyes International recorded record high revenue of HK$198.8 million, up 12.0% year-on-year, from performing mostly trifocal lens implantation surgeries in the Period, and revenue from this category had been growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 21% between 2020 and 2024, driven by the aging population in various countries where the Group operates.Trifocal Lens implantation: An Opportunity-Rich Market to SeizeThe “2023 National Aging Development Bulletin” released by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the National Aging Office in China, reveals that as of 2023, China's elderly population aged 60 and above has surged to 296.97 million, accounting for 21.1% of the total populace — an increase from 14.9% in 2013. Similarly, Hong Kong boasts the highest life expectancy in the world, pointing to a rapidly aging population in the city. According to the 2021 Population Census conducted by the Census and Statistics Department (C&SD), the proportion of elderly individuals aged 65 and above had increased from 13% of the total population in 2011 to 20% in 2021, and was projected to reach 22.8% by mid-2024. Additionally, the median age of the population had increased from 41.7 in 2011 to 46.3 in 2021, also reflective of the continuing aging trend.Alongside the aging global population is the climbing cases of presbyopia, a natural aging process that affects nearly every individual over 40, and correspondingly the demand for effective correction solutions. As trifocal lens, an artificial lens designed to provide sharp vision at all distances while retaining its refractive properties over time, can ensure consistent vision as patients age, trifocal lens implantation surgery has emerged as one of the best solutions for managing presbyopia and other vision-related issues.EuroEyes International, renowned for its market leadership in trifocal lens implantation surgery, is well-positioned to capture this global trend, and so is Carl Zeiss, a leading optical company committed to manufacturing trifocal lenses in growing demand. The company believes the trifocal lens implantation market has vast potential waiting to be tapped, set to power the company’s future growth.

卡爾蔡司表揚德視佳國際於AT LISA(R)三焦晶體植入量方面的非凡里程碑
香港, 2025年2月21日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 卡爾蔡司醫療科技公司(「卡爾蔡司」)很高興見證德視佳國際眼科有限公司 (「德視佳國際」或「該公司」)連續九年榮獲「蔡司 AT LISA® 三焦點人工晶體全球植入最多的眼科集團之一」的美譽。這項殊榮突顯德視佳國際於眼科領域作出的重要貢獻，並彰顯其在創新眼科護理解決方案方面的領導地位。在今天於香港舉行的頒獎典禮上，卡爾蔡司對德視佳國際於過去32年成功完成超過一百萬宗手術的非凡里程碑予以肯定，為全球之冠。這項里程碑不僅證明德視佳國際在創新和以病人為中心的眼科護理方面追求卓越表現的承諾，同時亦突顯其通過三焦點晶體植入提升視力矯正所扮演的重要角色，並為眼科業界操作樹立新標準。德視佳國際主席、執行董事兼行政總裁Jørn S. Jørgensen博士表示：「我們很榮幸能獲得這項肯定，這清楚表現出我們在眼科領域追求卓越的決心。我們的專業團隊努力不懈，以最先進的技術幫助患者恢復視力，進而提升他們的生活品質。」蔡司眼科總裁Magnus Reibenspiess先生表示：「恭喜德視佳國際連續9年獲得如此非凡的成就。這啟發全球同業共同推動眼科醫護技術和實踐的進步。我們期待與德視佳國際攜手合作，在不久的將來再創高峰，取得更大的成功。」Jørn S. Jørgensen 博士補充：「我們看到中國內地、香港，以至全球的老花趨勢正不斷上升。公司相信三焦點晶體植入是目前老花治療最佳的方案之一，而且能有效應對其不斷增長的市場需求。」根據2024年中期業績，期內，德視佳國際進行主要為三焦點晶體植入手術所得的收益同比上升12.0%至 198.8百萬港元的新高。而在集團經營所在的多個國家人口老化的推動下，該類別收益於2020年至2024年間以複合年增長率約21%的步伐持續增長。三焦點晶體植入：把握龐大的市場機遇中國民政部和全國老齡辦發佈的《2023 年度國家老齡事業發展公報》顯示，截至 2023 年，中國 60 歲及以上老年人口佔總人口比例從 2013 年的14.9%增至21.1%，達 29,697萬人。與此同時，香港擁有全球最高的平均預期壽命，顯示香港人口正迅速老化。根據政府統計處進行的 2021 年人口普查，65 歲及以上長者佔總人口的比例已由2011年的13%上升至 2021 年的20%，並預計到2024 年年中達到22.8%。此外，香港人口年齡中位數亦已從2011年的41.7歲上升至2021年的46.3歲，同樣反映人口老化趨勢持續。由於幾乎每個40歲以上人士均會受老花這自然老化過程所影響，因此隨著全球人口老化，老花眼的病例亦不斷攀升，對有效矯正老花眼解決方案的需求也相應增加。三焦點晶體可根據不同距離作調整並提供清晰視力，而且可長時間保持其屈光性，確保患者在年齡增長的同時保持穩定的視力，因此三焦點晶體植入手術已成為處理老花及其他視力相關問題的最佳解決方案之一。德視佳國際在三焦點晶體植入手術的市場領導地位享負盛名，公司已充分準備好把握這全球趨勢﹔而領先光學公司卡爾蔡司亦是如此，致力為與日俱增的需求製造三焦點晶體。德視佳國際相信，三焦點晶體植入市場擁有巨大的潛力亟待發掘，能為公司的未來增長提供動力。關於德視佳國際眼科有限公司 (1846.HK)德視佳國際成立於 1993 年，是視力矯正行業的領先品牌之一，該產品結合了德國眼科學的卓越經驗和超過30 年的經驗以及個性化的客戶服務。德視佳國際是為數不多，具有廣泛地理覆蓋範圍的眼科診所之一，業務遍及德國˴丹麥˴中國和英國。該集團的視力矯正服務包括：(i)屈光鐳射手術(包括 SMILE pro、Femto LASIK 和 Presbyond®)；(ii)晶體植入手術(ICL)；(iii)晶狀體置換手術(包括單焦點和三焦點晶狀體置換手術)和(iv)其他(包括 PRK / LASEK 和 ICRS 植入術)。如欲了解更多資訊，請瀏覽ir.euroeyes.hk。關於卡爾蔡司醫療科技公司 (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG)卡爾蔡司醫療科技公司(ISIN DE0005313704)在德國證券交易所的 MDAX和 TecDAX上市，是全球領先的醫療技術公司之一。公司提供創新技術及以應用為導向的解決方案，旨在協助醫生提高患者的生活質素同時提供完整的解決方案，包括植入物和耗材，以診斷及治療眼疾，並在顯微外科領域創造創新的可視化解決方案。公司在全球聘有 5,730名員工，在截至 9月 30日的 2023/24財年實現收入 20.661億歐元。集團總部位於德國耶拿，在德國及海外設有附屬公司，超過50%的員工駐於美國、日本、西班牙和法國。位於印度班加羅爾的應用研究中心(CARIn)和位於中國上海的卡爾蔡司創新研發中心加強了公司在這些迅速發展經濟體的地位。公司約 39%的股份為流通股份，約 59%由卡爾蔡司公司持有，該公司是光學及光電行業的全球領先集團之一。如欲獲得更多資訊，請瀏覽網站 www.zeiss.com/med.

全球現製飲品龍頭蜜雪集團今日招股
香港, 2025年2月21日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 經過近些年的野蠻生長後，中國現製飲品行業進入到市場格局重塑的「沉澱期」，頭部品牌加速分化，搶灘資本市場也成為2025年的行業熱點之一。2月21日，全球現製飲品龍頭蜜雪集團開始招股，全力衝刺港交所主板。強化端到端供應鏈，提升運營效率隨著現製茶飲行業「萬店時代」到來，自2023年起，茶飲市場呈現「一超多強」格局，蜜雪集團穩居行業龍頭地位，各品牌紛紛尋找新階段下的發展核心，供應鏈效率、數位化能力、行銷管道、產品創新等成為新階段的角逐焦點。根據招股書披露，蜜雪集團擬募集資金的用途中，部分資金計畫用於提升端到端供應鏈的廣度和深度，可見供應鏈建設的重要性。在現製茶飲行業的快速發展中，規模化佈局、價格優勢與品質升級成為核心競爭力，而供應鏈能力則是實現這些目標的關鍵支撐。已經達到萬店規模的蜜雪集團和有望達到萬店規模的其他茶飲品牌，都在加大對供應鏈的投入，拼「基建」實力。表面上看，蜜雪集團的成功得益於其一貫堅持的「高質平價」策略，實質上，這一策略背後的端到端供應鏈是根本。在中國現製飲品行業中，蜜雪集團以前瞻性的眼光最先設立中央工廠，通過自營的方式，牢牢掌控產業鏈話語權，做到了提供給加盟商的飲品食材超過60%為自產，根據灼識諮詢的報告，這一數據為行業最高，其中核心飲品食材更是實現完全自產化。旗下「蜜雪冰城」品牌加盟商的飲品食材、包材及設備均全部從品牌方採購，這在行業中首屈一指，有效降低了中間環節成本及增進經濟效益。從採購網路、生產品類、物流系統、研發、品質控製等維度，蜜雪集團多管齊下，通過高度數位化的端到端供應鏈體系，不斷提高運營效率，最大化拓寬利潤池。公司採購網路覆蓋全球六大洲、38個國家，直通原產地，可提供包括糖、奶、茶、咖、果、糧、料等全品類一站式的飲品食材解決方案，自主運營倉儲體系與本地化城配服務深度結合，應用研發與基礎研發無縫銜接，品控亦持續完善。盈利顯著提升，打造百年品牌「基建」先行憑藉不斷優化供應鏈，加強數位化賦能，蜜雪集團構築了深厚的護城河壁壘，從而釋放業績彈性，持續提高盈利能力。於2024年首9個月，公司毛利率、淨利率分別提升至32.4%、18.7%，展現了其在成本控製和運營效率方面的明顯優勢。同時，蜜雪集團擁有充沛的現金儲備與良好的流動性，為數字化賦能的端到端供應鏈建設提供源源不斷的助力。於2024年首9個月，公司錄得現金及現金等價物約人民幣59.80億元，同比增加59.1%；存貨周轉天數減少至43.6天。長期堅持「控本增效」所帶來的，不但是盈利的增強、流動性的提升，更是蜜雪集團在「萬店時代」獨佔鰲頭的強大內核。要打造百年品牌，鑄長青基業，作為「基建」具象的供應鏈建設，將依舊是公司登陸資本市場後的重中之重。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

This new offering will cover device repairs and replacements for gadgets purchased through Salmon’s platform, complementing their existing loan protection coverage, which safeguards repayments in case of unforeseen incidents.Similarly, Igloo’s partnership with Skyro, which introduced Gadget Protection and Loan Protection last year, is expanding in 2025 with the introduction of Goods Protection. Through this new product, home furniture, clothing, auto accessories, and even toys can now be protected from the same everyday risks.As access to credit remains a challenge in the Philippines, consumer finance platforms like Salmon and Skyro provide financial and insurance access to underbanked and unbanked segments. These platforms currently serve an estimated 300,000 Filipinos.Igloo continues to strengthen its ties with Shopee in the Philippines, launching its fifth product, Goods Protection to its existing suite. Since 2022, the partnership has facilitated over 16.9 million protection plans across product lines with Shopee’s 56 million monthly visitors.Underwritten by SeaInsure, Goods Protection covers eligible items purchased on the platform — such as electronics accessories, vehicle spare parts, baby gear, and office supplies — that suffer total loss or damage due to accidents like fire, collision, falls, liquid damage, or being run over.In Indonesia, Igloo has two new partnerships under its belt — with leading fintech company Akulaku, and consumer finance platform Kredivo. With the former, gadget protection service underwritten by Victoria Insurance, covers repairs and replacements for gadgets purchased on the platform with a one-year coverage period.

As more Indonesians move to digital payments with transactions expected to grow to US$371.6 billion in 2025, the product is timely, protecting users from lost wallet balances due to fraud.Igloo’s collaboration with consumer finance platform Kredivo — which serves more than 10 million users, introduces Travel Domestic, covering trip cancellations, lost baggage, and more.In Thailand, Igloo has expanded its partnership with e-payment and financial services provider True Money to include coverage for cars and motorcycles, building on the success of its health and accident insurance offering from the previous year, this new product extends protection to approximately 20.7 million registered vehicles across the country. Meanwhile, the successful collaboration with Lazada Thailand, which serves millions of customers in the country, also sees the addition of a fifth product — Flight Insurance for domestic and international trips.“These partnerships underscore Igloo’s efforts to make insurance more seamless and integrated into everyday online transactions, and as we enter 2025, we are building on this momentum by deepening our commitment to making insurance more accessible, affordable, and seamlessly integrated into digital experiences. The slew of new partnerships — and the expansion of existing ones — within the first months in 2025 heralds our positive trajectory and highlights the continued value we provide in embedding insurance across diverse industries in Southeast Asia,” Mehta added.Key regional hire to accelerate growth in Southeast AsiaIn addition, Igloo has added to its leadership fold Chief Distribution Officer (CDO) Sasitharan Krishnan who brings over 30 years of expertise from the insurance distribution sector serving as Senior Vice President for Asia Affinity at insurance giant Sompo and Chief Officer of Digital Sales at Allianz Ayudhya Assurance.In his role, Sasi will drive Igloo’s distribution strategy with a key focus on brokering regional deals, and increased value for Igloo and its partners through relationships with regional and local insurers.
