According to new research from the World Impact Media Organization, Kazakhstan’s economy grew 3.7% in the first five months of 2026, building on 6.5% GDP growth in 2025, according to recent figures. Taken with new international investment data, the numbers suggest growth that is becoming steadier and less dependent on any single commodity.

The figures arrive at an unsettled moment for the global economy, with trade flows shifting, markets volatile, and competition for investment intensifying. Across much of the world, growth is slowing while inflation lingers and financial conditions tighten. Against that backdrop, Kazakhstan has so far held up comparatively well.

What the latest figures show

• GDP grew 6.5% in 2025 and 3.7% in the first five months of 2026, with the real sector up 4% and services up 3.6%.
• Foreign direct investment reached $20.5 billion in 2025, up 14.4% year on year, with flows diversifying beyond extractive industries.
• UNESCAP data show $19 billion in greenfield investment in 2025, a 266% increase and nearly 89% of all greenfield investment into Central Asia.
• Capital investment rose 7% and private investment 17.4% in the first five months of 2026.
• Growth is broad-based: construction up 13.4%, manufacturing up 9%, transport and warehousing up 8.4%, and trade up 5.6%.

“These figures describe a clear shift. Kazakhstan is increasingly growing on investment, manufacturing, and modern services rather than commodities alone, and it is doing so while much of the global economy slows,” said Jasmine Abdul, Chief Editor, World Impact Media Organization.

Broad-based growth across the economy

According to official national statistics, growth is spreading across the economy. Construction was among the fastest-growing industries, rising 13.4% in the first five months of the year compared with the corresponding period a year earlier. Manufacturing increased by 9%, transportation and warehousing grew by 8.4%, trade advanced by 5.6%, and agriculture (3.6%) and telecommunications (3.7%) posted steady growth. Investment appears to be the principal driver, with the strongest gains in energy infrastructure, information and communications technologies, manufacturing, agriculture, and transport.

Investment remains the principal driver of this transformation. In recent years, this process has accelerated and is often described domestically as President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s “investment cycle,” a term he introduced in his State of the Nation Address.

Reforms aimed at a predictable investment environment

Publicly stated government targets include doubling the economy to $450 billion by 2029 while attracting at least $150 billion in foreign investment over the same period. Recent reforms include the updated Investment Policy Concept through 2030, the Investment Headquarters mechanism for interagency coordination on investor concerns, and the National Digital Investment Platform, intended to streamline administrative procedures and increase transparency.

Investment projects exceeding a defined threshold in priority sectors may qualify for Investment Agreements that guarantee legislative stability for up to 25 years. Combined with tax incentives, customs preferences, infrastructure support, and project facilitation, these mechanisms are designed to reduce investment risk. Kazakhstan has also expanded its network of bilateral investment protection agreements with key partners, including Qatar, Singapore, China, and Saudi Arabia. The country operates 18 Special Economic Zones and 67 industrial zones, with some 586 investment projects already implemented within them. The Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) operates under English common law and offers independent dispute resolution and access to green finance, Islamic finance, and fintech.

Diversification into industry, agriculture and energy

Over the past several years, this country has implemented a comprehensive package of reforms, promoted by President Tokayev and designed to strengthen its investment ecosystem, as reaffirmed at the 37th plenary session of the Foreign Investors’ Council. Investment in manufacturing expanded by more than 47.4% in 2025, with policy shifting toward higher value-added production, technological modernization, and export-oriented manufacturing. In agriculture, output rose 3.6% over the first five months of 2026, investment in agriculture increased by 36.4%, and investment in food manufacturing rose 2.7 times. On energy, Kazakhstan now operates a growing number of renewable energy facilities, with additional wind, solar, and hydropower projects scheduled for commissioning in 2026 alongside the modernization of conventional power plants.

Taken together, the data point to a growth model increasingly driven by investment, manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, and modern services rather than commodity exports alone, with institutional reforms supporting a more predictable business environment.

Kazakhstan has also continued expanding its network of international agreements on mutual investment protection through its multilateral foreign policy, aimed, among other things, at strengthening external economic ties. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has repeatedly highlighted this pattern in recent public remarks, according to The Astana Times — including a Dec. 25, 2025 statement that Kazakhstan had signed more than $70 billion in commercial agreements that year following international negotiations, and a June 2026 announcement of over $12 billion in agreements signed during his visit to Brussels. Bilateral investment protection agreements have been signed with several key partners in recent years, according to UNCTAD’s Investment Policy Hub and Kazakhstani government sources, including Singapore (2018, entered into force 2024), Qatar (2022), China (2025), and Saudi Arabia (2026) — a development that strengthens investor confidence and aligns the national legal system with international practices.

Domus Next Inc., a San Francisco-based startup focused on family AI infrastructure for modern households, has officially launched SuperNori, a new family AI Agent designed to proactively help families coordinate schedules, responsibilities, shopping, and connected devices through artificial intelligence.

While much of today's AI industry remains focused on workplace productivity, coding tools, and business automation, Domus Next believes one of AI's most meaningful long-term opportunities may be much closer to home.

According to the company, family life is increasingly shaped by countless small decisions and responsibilities that rarely appear on formal schedules but consume time and mental energy every day. SuperNori was developed to help reduce that burden and support smoother, healthier family dynamics.

The Invisible Work Behind Everyday Family Life 

Most households are held together by far more than the tasks that appear on a calendar. Behind everyday family life is a constant stream of invisible work: remembering doctors' appointments, keeping track of groceries, planning meals, coordinating school activities, and making sure countless small responsibilities don't fall through the cracks. 

Researchers often describe this as "invisible labor" — the mental effort required to anticipate needs and keep a household running smoothly. That responsibility often falls disproportionately on one family member, creating stress and mental overload that can quietly build over time.

“Family life isn't simply a collection of tasks that need to be managed,” said Isaac Long, co-founder of Nori. “At its core, it's about relationships, communication, and shared experiences. Behind every household are hundreds of small responsibilities that often go unnoticed. We believe that SuperNori can act like a senior family butler, quietly and proactively assisting families in managing their lives behind the scenes, allowing them to spend more quality time together.”

When Small Frustrations Become Family Tension

Many household disagreements do not begin with major conflicts. More often, they grow out of small everyday moments — realizing no one bought the milk, forgetting to schedule an appointment, or assuming someone else had already taken care of an important errand. 

Some early beta test users say one of SuperNori's most valuable benefits is reducing the misunderstandings that arise when responsibilities are unclear. One family reported that grocery shopping had become a recurring point of tension because different family members assumed someone else had already updated the shopping list or purchased needed items. After adopting shared shopping lists and AI-generated reminders through SuperNori, responsibilities became easier to track, helping family members stay aligned and reducing the need for constant check-ins.

SuperNori is built around the idea that reducing everyday friction can have a meaningful impact on family relationships. By making responsibilities more visible and easier to coordinate, the platform aims to help families spend less time sorting out logistics and more time focusing on one another.

Beyond Household Management: Bringing Families Closer Together

While reducing invisible labor is one part of the equation, Domus Next believes family AI may also help address another growing challenge within modern households: communication across generations.

Many older adults still find smartphones, shared calendars, and household management apps difficult to navigate. As a result, they can sometimes become disconnected from family planning and coordination systems that increasingly rely on digital tools. By using natural-language interaction, SuperNori allows users to communicate with the system conversationally rather than through complex menus or app workflows.

This creates opportunities for older family members to participate more easily in shared household activities, receive reminders, access information, and stay connected to family plans without needing advanced technical knowledge. For multi-generational households, the ability to simply speak naturally to a system may help reduce digital barriers that often leave some family members excluded from day-to-day coordination.

Under the hood, SuperNori brings together household tasks, schedules, reminders, and connected devices through a unified coordination layer, supported by integrations with the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) permission framework and the Home Assistant ecosystem. Over time, it is designed to learn a family’s routines, preferences, and boundaries, so it can offer more proactive support in everyday home life.

Rethinking AI's Role in Family Life

Nori is already used by more than 200,000 families, with users interacting with its AI features an average of 9.4 times per day. Families use Nori to ask questions, leave voice notes, create reminders, update shopping lists, and keep household members in sync. On average, each family creates 23.2 shared tasks and 14 shopping lists.

These usage patterns suggest that AI is beginning to move beyond individual productivity and into the everyday coordination of family life. For many households, the value is not only in capturing tasks or managing lists, but in helping family members communicate, plan, and share responsibility more effectively.

SuperNori represents the next stage of that evolution. While Nori helps families capture the needs they already recognize, SuperNori is designed to help notice the needs that have not yet been written down or discussed, but are already creating pressure in the background of everyday life.

In that sense, SuperNori extends Nori from reactive support to proactive family AI, reflecting a broader shift in how family AI may support families: not only by responding to explicit requests, but by helping households recognize and address needs before they become sources of stress.

About Domus Next

Domus Next Inc. is a San Francisco-based technology company focused on building AI infrastructure for family life. Founded in 2025 by former ByteDance and Samsung veterans, the company develops family AI infrastructure that uses artificial intelligence to coordinate household operations, connected devices, and shared family experiences. The company's mission is to help families reduce everyday friction, strengthen collaboration, and create more space for meaningful connection through family AI.

FoundersX Ventures today announced its investment in World Labs, a breakthrough company building foundational physical AI models that deliver true spatial intelligence — the missing link between today’s digital AI and the physical world.

Led by Dr. Fei-Fei Li — the visionary “Godmother of AI” and author of the acclaimed book The Worlds I See — World Labs is redefining what’s possible when AI truly understands and simulates reality. Co-founded with leading experts Justin Johnson, Christoph Lassner, and Ben Mildenhall, the company is creating world models that go far beyond current offerings from Big Tech.

“We backed World Labs because they are solving one of the hardest and most consequential problems in AI: building persistent, physically coherent 3D world models that can reason about space, objects, and causality,” said Helen Liang, PhD, founder and managing partner of FoundersX Ventures. “While Google’s Genie 3 excels at generating interactive video environments and Nvidia’s platforms are powerful for robotics simulation, World Labs’ Marble stands apart with its ability to create high-fidelity, editable, and temporally consistent 3D worlds from minimal inputs. This is the kind of foundational spatial intelligence needed to bridge digital and physical realities at scale.” 

In the rapidly evolving physical AI space, several players are advancing world models and simulation. Google’s Genie series focuses on video-based interactive environments, while Nvidia leverages its Omniverse and robotics platforms for high-fidelity industrial simulation. Other notable efforts include startups like Physical Intelligence (Pi) working on embodied AI.

Powered by Dr. Fei-Fei Li’s unparalleled expertise in visual intelligence, World Labs is uniquely positioned to deliver generalizable world models that excel not just in narrow simulations but in open-ended, creative, and real-world applications.

Marble, World Labs’ flagship multimodal world model, represents a major technical leap. It can generate rich, persistent 3D environments from text, images, videos, or panoramas. Users can interactively edit objects, expand scenes, combine worlds, and maintain physical consistency — capabilities that enable rapid iteration and real-world applicability.

Recent updates have further strengthened Marble with precise layout control, AI-native editing tools, and exports to Gaussian splats, meshes, and video. These advancements make it uniquely powerful for complex, long-horizon tasks.

The investment in World Labs perfectly complements FoundersX’s AI-Space portfolio, which includes SpaceX, Turion Space, FS2, Charge Robotics, and Mbodi AI. By adding world-class spatial simulation capabilities, FoundersX is building a full-stack ecosystem for the emerging orbital compute and physical AI economy.

World Labs’ technology carries transformative potential across industries:

• Filmmaking and Visual Effects: Rapid generation of photorealistic virtual sets and environments, slashing production timelines and costs while expanding creative freedom.
• Gaming: Faster world-building and more immersive, persistent game environments.
• Robotics Training: High-fidelity simulation that dramatically improves sim-to-real transfer for advanced embodied AI systems like mBodi.
• Architecture, Design, Automotive & Aerospace: Accurate 3D modeling, virtual prototyping, and scenario testing at unprecedented speed and realism.

“Dr. Fei-Fei Li’s lifelong mission has been to help machines truly see and understand the world,” said Liang. “World Labs is turning that vision into reality. We are proud to support this team as they unlock new frontiers where AI doesn’t just generate content — it understands and shapes the physical world around us.”

As the AI industry shifts from language and 2D generation toward embodied and spatial intelligence, World Labs is exceptionally well positioned to lead. For FoundersX, this investment is another strategic step toward the multi-trillion-dollar convergence of AI, space, and physical infrastructure.

SureFlow wins a 2026 Global Recognition Award for advancing artificial intelligence in resource monitoring, marking a clear milestone in the evolution of predictive utility management. The recognition highlights the company’s ability to transform raw consumption data into practical insights that improve efficiency across residential buildings and cities.

The award acknowledges SureFlow’s measurable contributions to innovation and research, particularly through a platform that monitors water, gas, and electricity usage in real time and identifies irregularities before they lead to financial losses or property damage. Developed with a focus on prevention, the system reflects a broader shift in how resource intelligence is designed and applied globally in 2026, as organizations increasingly prioritize sustainability and operational precision.

Platform Built On Prevention, Not Reaction

Founded in the United Kingdom, SureFlow emerged from a practical observation: most resource inefficiencies remain unnoticed until damage has already occurred. Under the leadership of CEO Sebastien Dui, the company adopted a preventative approach to technology design, focusing on early detection and proactive management rather than reactive response. This approach has shaped a platform that enables users to identify inefficiencies in real time and respond with informed decisions.

The company has since expanded its operations across Europe and the United Arab Emirates, where its engineering and artificial intelligence teams operate in an integrated environment. Its systems now support households, commercial properties, and cities. “The future of resource management is not in waiting for problems to reveal themselves but in designing systems that anticipate, prevent, and protect. At SureFlow, we build technology that gives people clarity and control long before damage or waste occurs,” said Dui.

Innovation and Research Driving Measurable Impact

SureFlow’s selection followed evaluation through the Rasch measurement model, a methodology that converts performance indicators into a standardized linear scale. The company achieved high scores across key areas, including application potential, global relevance, market influence, and intellectual property strength. These results reflect consistent technical execution rather than aspirational claims, positioning the platform as a credible solution in a competitive and rapidly evolving sector.

Two core capabilities characterize the platform in 2026, as global demand for intelligent infrastructure continues to grow. The Budget Prediction feature provides forward-looking estimates based on actual usage patterns. Meanwhile, the AI Advisor delivers tailored recommendations aligned with individual consumption behavior. Together, these tools shift user engagement from passive monitoring to active management, aligning with industry forecasts that predict AI-driven utility optimization will grow as sustainability regulations tighten worldwide.

Final Words

“SureFlow has earned this recognition because it has successfully translated advanced innovation into practical solutions that protect resources and reduce inefficiencies at scale,” said Alex Sterling of Global Recognition Awards, highlighting the broader implications of the company’s work in addressing global sustainability challenges.

SureFlow continues to focus on reducing hidden losses, lowering costs, and supporting sustainable infrastructure development. Its platform shows how artificial intelligence can move beyond basic reporting functions to become a consistent element of resource planning. “SureFlow represents a shift from reactive systems to proactive resilience, enabling better protection of assets while supporting long-term environmental goals,” said Sterling, reflecting the company’s direction as it expands its global footprint.

Hexaware Technologies announces AgentVerse™, a global enterprise AI agent platform with more than 600 pre-built AI agents. The platform aims to help businesses put AI to work, automate business and technology workflows, orchestrate AI-driven operations, and scale agentic AI across the company.

The launch comes as enterprises continue to explore ways to move AI initiatives beyond pilot programs and into day-to-day operations. AgentVerse provides companies with a centralized platform for deploying, orchestrating, and managing AI agents while integrating with existing business systems, applications, and workflows. As a result, this strategy lets companies leverage AI features within their current infrastructures without altering existing workflows.

The platform is built to handle enterprise scale and is designed to support a broad range of business and technology applications. As AI adoption expands across functions and teams, AgentVerse helps businesses maintain visibility, oversight, and consistency across AI-driven activities. Moreover, the architecture of platform is designed to cater to targeted deployments as well as enterprise-wide AI initiatives.

Supporting the Transition from AI Pilots to Enterprise Deployment 

Businesses in all sectors are still investigating the possibilities of using AI for business operations, digital transformation, and process automation. While many companies have started their own AI pilots and proof-of-concept projects, it is still difficult to execute them across departments and business functions.

Some of the most frequent challenges include disorganized tech landscapes, siloed workflows, a lack of visibility into AI activity, and governance needs that continue to grow as AI scales. As companies look to make AI more actionable, the need for platforms that offer frameworks, management tools, and business integration support is also growing.

To overcome this, AgentVerse has been developed to help enterprises adopt a structured approach to managing intelligent automation across business and technology operations. The platform allows firms to manage their AI-driven activities while remaining connected and in control.

AgentVerse Introduces a Library of Ready-to-Deploy AI Agents 

At the core of AgentVerse is a library of more than 600 ready-to-deploy AI agents designed to support a wide range of enterprise use cases.

Companies can deploy pre-built agents to handle workflow automation, task execution, information retrieval, process management, and other business support functions. These agents can be utilized for customer service, software engineering, application support, finance operations, procurement, HR, knowledge management, and enterprise administration.

Additionally, AgentVerse supports multi-agent orchestration, allowing multiple AI agents to collaborate within coordinated workflows. Agents can share information, carry out more specific initiatives, and even contribute to bigger processes within an organizational framework.

The platform is also compatible with enterprise applications, cloud environments, APIs, databases, and other business applications. As a result, this interoperability enables firms to integrate AI agents into their existing workflows while capitalizing on existing technology investments and operational processes.

This also supports ongoing evaluation and optimization through monitoring and feedback mechanisms that help teams improve performance, consistency, and effectiveness.

Overall, AgentVerse brings deployment, orchestration, workflow automation, and enterprise integration into a single environment for supporting AI across business and technology operations.

Built-In Oversight and Management Controls 

Oversight and accountability continue to be important considerations for large-scale AI deployments. Accordingly, AgentVerse features governance and operational control mechanisms that are developed to aid responsible AI adoption on a large scale.

The platform features role-based access, monitoring, observability, audit, and customizable governance solutions. Together, these features help businesses establish clear boundaries, monitor agent activity, and maintain visibility into AI-driven workflows. The governance framework also supports auditability, policy enforcement, and accountability requirements that organizations often require when deploying AI across regulated and enterprise environments.

In addition, AgentVerse allows enterprise security requirements to be met by providing centralized management features that let organizations set permissions, monitoring, and deployment rules that reflect their internal security standards and compliance needs.

As a result, built-in governance capabilities enable organizations to launch AI agents without sacrificing accountability, transparency, and operational consistency.

These capabilities provide organizations with greater oversight of AI-driven activities across enterprise environments. They also support the implementation of governance practices as AI adoption expands across business and technology functions.

Leadership Commentary 

"Organizations are increasingly looking to move AI beyond experimentation and into day-to-day operations. AgentVerse was developed to provide a structured framework for deploying, orchestrating, and managing AI agents across business environments while maintaining visibility, interoperability, and oversight as adoption scales," said Siddharth Dhar, President and Global Head – Artificial Intelligence, Hexaware.

He added that organizations increasingly require structured frameworks that support governance, interoperability, and operational oversight as AI adoption expands across business and technology functions.

Applications Across Business and Technology Functions 

AgentVerse is engineered to serve a wide variety of enterprise applications in both business and technology, including cloud-based applications and on-premises implementations.

For example, use cases include customer service, IT operations, software engineering, automation of business processes, knowledge management, software support, reporting, and administration. Organizations can deploy agents for specific use cases or coordinate multiple agents to work together within extended and large operational workflow environments.

Furthermore, the modular architecture of the platform allows companies to begin with chosen deployments and expand usage over time as their business requirements evolve and change.

Additionally, AI agents can be integrated into individual departments or shared across multiple functions, depending on organizational goals. This approach allows companies to tie AI deployment plans to current operational and technological structures.

Overall, AgentVerse expands Hexaware's portfolio of AI-driven enterprise solutions and reflects the company's focus on helping organizations operationalize AI through governed deployment, workflow orchestration, enterprise integration, and scalable automation across business and technology functions.

AgentVerse is available globally and supports cloud, hybrid, and customer-specific deployment models.

Ana Fabiano, internationally recognized Rioja authority, business leader and author, today announced the launch of Rioja Holistic Home, a sustainable lifestyle and home brand inspired by the renowned Rioja region of Spain.

The new collection brings together artisan-crafted textiles, ceramics, and botanical body oils sourced from the same region celebrated worldwide for its exceptional wines. Designed for conscious consumers, boutique hospitality properties, wellness spaces, and luxury homes, Rioja Holistic Home combines heritage and craftsmanship with modern sustainable living.

The launch comes amid growing consumer demand for sustainable and transparent products. According to PwC's 2024 Voice of the Consumer Survey, consumers are willing to pay an average of 9.7% more for sustainably produced goods, reflecting a broader shift toward quality, provenance, and environmental responsibility in purchasing decisions. 

The launch introduces three signature collections:

• Textiles: Crafted from 100% extra-fine Merino wool, OEKO-TEX® certified and designed as heirloom-quality pieces.
• Ceramics: Limited-edition, numbered creations produced by a fourth-generation master ceramicist whose work is featured in Michelin-starred restaurants across Northern Spain.
• Essence: Botanical body oils made from 100% botanical ingredients and essential oils and recognized by leading wellness professionals and early customers for their clean scent, rapid absorption, and absence of synthetic fragrances.

The company operates as a fully sustainable, plastic-free brand built around six guiding principles: authenticity, quality, beauty, health, heritage, and environmental stewardship.

Ana Fabiano's connection to Rioja spans decades of professional work and independent research. Since 2008, she has conducted extensive study of the region's wine, culture, architecture, gastronomy, hospitality, and artisan traditions, culminating in the creation of Rioja Holistic Home.

"After years of travel, research, and work throughout Rioja, creating Rioja Holistic Home was a natural evolution," said Fabiano, founder of Rioja Holistic Home. "The values that define Rioja, heritage, quality, sustainability, and pride of place, extend far beyond wine. We emerge at a time when our values and gorgeous pure selections are very relevant for both health and environmental reasons. We created this brand to encourage people to make more intentional choices about what they bring into their homes and lives." 

The brand's mission, reflected in its tagline "Raising Consciousness," encourages consumers to better understand where products come from, how they are made, and the impact they have on personal well-being and the environment.

Through carefully curated collections with authentic provenance, Rioja Holistic Home seeks to reconnect consumers with slower, healthier, and more intentional living. Each selection is picked for its craftsmanship, beauty, sustainability, and ability to create meaningful rituals within the home.

Media interviews are available in English and Spanish.

Global lithium battery brand LiTime announced that it is further strengthening its global responsibility framework through three key initiatives: product safety certifications, vehicle application compliance, and upgraded product liability protection.

Multiple LiTime battery products have obtained Intertek ETL certification, while selected products have also achieved E-Mark compliance for the European market. In addition, LiTime has secured commercial general liability insurance coverage through American International Group (AIG). These initiatives reinforce LiTime’s global compliance capabilities, risk response system, and long-term partnership credibility, offering greater confidence and reliability to users and partners worldwide.

ETL Certification: Strengthening Product Safety Assurance

The ETL mark, issued by Intertek, is a widely recognized symbol of product safety compliance. Intertek is an OSHA-recognized Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) and a global provider of testing, inspection, and certification services.

One of the key standards applied in this certification is UL 1973, which covers energy storage systems and evaluates areas such as electrical safety, structural design, protection mechanisms, and long-term operational reliability. This provides a trusted third-party benchmark for both safety and durability.

By obtaining ETL certification, LiTime further validates the safety design, system stability, and long-term reliability of its products. This not only enhances end-user confidence in applications such as RVs, marine vessels, and off-grid systems, but also supports distributors, retailers, and platform partners in meeting compliance requirements and managing risk.

E-Mark Certification: Advancing Compliance for European Vehicle Applications

E-Mark certification is a key regulatory requirement for automotive components in Europe, confirming compliance with UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) standards. Specifically, ECE R10 addresses electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in vehicle electrical and electronic systems.

Products that meet E-Mark requirements can be integrated into vehicle applications such as RVs, trailers, and auxiliary onboard power systems, while also supporting whole-vehicle type approval and system-level compliance.

LiTime’s E-Mark certified products demonstrate proven compatibility and stability within vehicle electrical environments. This helps reduce concerns related to system interference, driving safety, installation compliance, and insurance-related risks. It also enables vehicle makers, system integrators, and channel partners to more effectively enter the European vehicle market and meet regulatory and integration requirements.

AIG Commercial General Liability Insurance: Enhancing Long-Term Responsibility Protection

LiTime has entered into a commercial general liability insurance agreement with AIG, providing product liability coverage for its products. AIG serves clients in over 200 countries and regions, offering comprehensive solutions in property, casualty, and risk management.

This insurance enhances the efficiency, professionalism, and traceability of response mechanisms in the event of covered liability incidents, further strengthening user confidence in long-term product use.

LiTime has established a multi-layered LiTime support system spanning the entire customer journey, including a 5-year warranty, 30-day free returns, and 24/7 AI-powered customer service with expert support. The addition of global liability insurance further reinforces LiTime’s post-sale responsibility and long-term customer assurance.

Advancing a Trusted Global Energy Ecosystem

Through ETL safety certification, E-Mark vehicle compliance, and AIG product liability insurance, LiTime continues to enhance its global responsibility framework. This framework extends beyond product performance to encompass lifecycle risk management, application compliance, and long-term accountability — providing a strong foundation of trust for users and partners worldwide.

LiTime stated that this upgrade is a key part of its long-term globalization strategy and reflects its commitment to powering outdoor adventures for generations with reliable energy solutions.

“A truly trusted energy brand must deliver not only high-performance products, but also uphold safety, compliance, and responsibility throughout the entire product lifecycle,” said Shaffe Zhang, Head of Corporate Communications at LiTime. “This is why we continue to build and strengthen our responsibility system—so that users and partners can rely on LiTime with confidence across every energy application scenario.”

About LiTime

LiTime is a global LiFePO₄ power solutions expert, providing high-quality batteries and integrated power systems for RV, marine, golf cart, solar, and off-grid applications. Backed by real-world validation from 3.5 million-plus global users, 16 years of lithium battery R&D experience from its core team, and 380+ certifications, LiTime makes lithium power smarter, safer, more flexible, and more cost-effective.

With more adults engaged in manual labor, long-distance driving, and chronic back pain, FEATOL's supportive lower back brace has been unveiled. Rather than a temporary recovery tool, this latest back brace aligns with the latest medical research on staying active to support proper health.

The difference between this back brace for women and men with lower back pain is that it doesn’t restrict movement. Adults can still move throughout their workday or get in and out of a vehicle when completing daily errands. Considering how many people are actively trying to manage conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, muscle strain, and chronic lower back fatigue, practical support that includes mobility is a major win.

“We wanted to promote better health by targeting the needs of workers, active adults, and rehabilitation professionals,” says a FEATOL spokesperson. “Our FEATOL lower back brace is a solution to alleviate pain while supporting movement instead of restricting it.”

Why Lower Back Pain Impacts So Many Adults

While the conveniences of modern living certainly would make heads spin from a couple of hundred years ago, those same conveniences can put pressure on the lumbar region. The average office worker spends 6 to 8 hours sitting at a desk. The average worker will have to lift between 23 and 70 pounds, depending on the job. Both these scenarios compress the lower back, leading to repetitive lifting, twisting, and carrying movements that stress the back’s structure.

Active adults also have issues. Being able to calmly improve a home garden without pain or move about a backyard chicken coop is important, even with a sore lower back. Roughly 39% of adults report back pain that requires the aid of a lower back brace. The problem is that most traditional lumbar support belts and work back braces are restrictive, bulky, or uncomfortable to wear for extended periods.

With FEATOL, the goal is to offer a lower back brace that balances stability to reduce pain with increased comfort, while also ensuring the wearer can go about their day.

Support That Moves with the User

The FEATOL lumbar support belt brace was designed with a reinforced system comprising three memory aluminum stays and two additional support plates. When working together, these elements ensure 360-degree stabilization around the lower back. Pressure is then distributed evenly, supporting the lumbar region as adults drive, work, and play.

In addition to that unique design, the FEATOL lower back brace is made from soft, breathable materials. It is snug as a bug, with adjustable straps, to ensure the back brace for lifting hugs the lower back like a second skin, comfortable, stable, and easy to wear all day long.

With FEATOL, the back brace provides targeted compression to support the body at home, work, or when moving about completing daily tasks. It is ideal for men and women, with an elastic support system that keeps the lumbar support in place on even the most demanding days. That makes the back brace optimal for:

• Office workers dealing with long sitting sessions and those using hybrid sit/stand desks for mobility.
• Manual laborers and tradespeople performing repetitive movements and lifting that strain back muscles.
• Drivers, ride-share professionals, delivery teams, and movers who spend long hours behind the wheel and on the road.
• Adults recovering from back strain, injury, or recent medical treatment and surgery (under the guidance of medical professionals).
• Fitness enthusiasts who want a little extra lower back support while climbing, playing sports, or getting outdoors.

All men and women who want to better manage chronic lower back discomfort can benefit from added support. As the brace uses both stability and flexible strapping, it functions as both a back brace for men's lower back support needs and a back brace for women desiring extra comfort.

FEATOL Builds for Real-World Demands

FEATOL was founded on a simple belief that protection should never come at the cost of comfort or style. That is why the lower back brace is designed not to restrict ordinary activities. Wearers should feel the support while standing in line at a store or carrying the family’s laundry upstairs.

The reinforced structure and elastic support system ensure comfortable, secure movement. There is no need to constantly readjust the brace during the day, making it a simplified yet adjustable solution whether working as a mechanic, physician, teacher, delivery driver, or at-home graphic designer.

Back pain is one of the most common reasons for primary and emergency care consultations. Around $200 billion is spent every year on managing that back pain. With FEATOL, adults get a solution that helps alleviate that pain through a simplified, reliable structure without the traditional brace restrictions.

A Practical Back Brace for Long-Term Mobility

Healthcare professionals emphasize the importance of self-care to manage lower back pain and discomfort. It is a combination of movement, proper mechanics, and recovery that helps reduce stress on the body. With FEATOL's lower back brace, the support ensures proper mobility throughout the day and a snug fit that doesn’t get in the way of life.

Available now in sizes ranging from small (25.6-28.5”) to 5XL (57.5-65”), the lower back brace for work helps those dealing with recurring lumbar fatigue, workplace strain, or physically demanding lifestyles. The right support system from FEATOL helps make the day a little easier to manage while still promoting long-term comfort.

About FEATOL

At FEATOL (HONG KONG DUNHE TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED), we believe comfort and strength belong in everyday life. That’s why we design orthopedic supports that fit naturally into your routine at work, at home, or on the go. Whether you’re facing desk fatigue, heavy lifting, or long-term discomfort, FEATOL is here to help ease pain and support better movement every single day. FEATOL products are developed by pain-care experts and trusted by families worldwide. From back braces to therapy mats, each item blends smart technology with day-to-day comfort.

Sends has announced the expansion of its digital wallet ecosystem by integrating with Samsung Pay to work toward a more adaptable payments system for consumers and businesses globally. The main goal of the company is to provide a mobile-first checkout experience to users across various devices and also expand its current support for key wallet providers like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Digital payments are increasingly moving toward faster, device-led interactions, where users expect transactions to be completed with minimal friction. Across global markets, biometric authentication and token-based security have become standard expectations, gradually replacing manual card entry in everyday purchases.

With Samsung Pay now added to the ecosystem, Sends is aiming to widen access for Samsung device users while also improving payment success rates and checkout efficiency for merchants operating across multiple regions.

“Payments today are less about individual methods and more about how everything works together in the background,” said Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends. “Our goal is to make that experience feel simple for merchants, regardless of how many payment options are involved.”

Moving Toward a More Unified Payments Layer

Sends is gradually shaping its infrastructure around a more unified model designed to reduce the fragmentation that often exists between different wallet systems.

Instead of requiring separate technical setups for each provider, the platform is moving toward a structure where multiple wallet networks can be accessed through a single integration layer. This approach is intended to simplify operations for merchants while keeping checkout performance consistent across markets and devices.

Important priorities in this direction include:

• Greater compatibility with top mobile wallet ecosystems
• Integration made easier with a single infrastructure layer
• Improved regional consistency in checkout performance
• Decreased complexity of operations for retailers
• Increased dependability in international payment flows

Strategic Direction and Leadership Focus

Under Alona Shevtsova's direction, Sends continues to align itself with the trend toward wallet-driven commerce and embedded financial infrastructure, which is reflected in the expansion.

Sends has shifted its focus from single feature releases to enhancing the interoperability and orchestration-based infrastructure models of various payment systems.

Market Background and Infrastructure Development

As mobile-first payment options gradually replace traditional card-based checkout experiences in many areas, the upgrade coincides with the ongoing global expansion in the popularity of digital wallets.

Sends’ infrastructure strategy also builds on its integration with Corefy, which helps merchants streamline routing and settlement through a unified connection layer.

The company expects demand for connected payment infrastructure to continue rising as businesses expand into increasingly fragmented global payment environments.

About Sends

Sends is a global payments and financial infrastructure platform offering multi-currency accounts, digital wallet support, and cross-border payment solutions for businesses and individuals. The company concentrates on developing scalable infrastructure that uses contemporary financial instruments and unified integration to streamline international transactions.

On June 25, JFB Construction Holdings (NASDAQ: JFB) announced that XTEND AI Robotics has secured a $3 million follow-on defense order, arriving just one day after the company's previously announced $9 million procurement for autonomous multi-drone operations serving a Middle East defense customer. Together, the two announcements bring XTEND's cumulative disclosed defense procurement to more than $12 million across two distinct customer programs — a milestone reached within 24 hours.

The $3 million order is a follow-on from an existing defense customer, expanding operational capabilities within one of the Company's largest autonomous system deployments to date. Unlike the $9 million Middle East program, which funds expansion of a separate fleet, this order reflects what XTEND describes as the natural evolution of its ecosystem model: customers who have already received initial platform deliveries continue to adopt additional capabilities that enhance mission effectiveness — generating revenue that extends well beyond the initial sale.

Key Points:

• Over $12 million in cumulative announced defense procurement within a single 24-hour window
• Two distinct customer programs across two separate defense orders
• $9 million order announced June 23, 2026 — Middle East autonomous multi-drone operations
• $3 million follow-on order announced June 25, 2026 — separate large-scale autonomous systems program
• Combined company to trade as XTEND AI Robotics (expected ticker: XTND) upon closing of JFB merger

CEO Commentary: Ecosystem-Driven Growth Strategy

Aviv Shapira, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of XTEND, commented:

"More than $12 million in defense orders announced across two separate customer programs in a single day reflects exactly how we have built this business. This follow-on order specifically reinforces an important aspect of our long-term growth strategy. As customers move from initial deployment to sustained operational use, they continue to adopt additional capabilities that enhance mission effectiveness and expand the value of their existing fleets. We believe this dynamic strengthens customer relationships, creates recurring growth opportunities, and reinforces the strategic value of the XTEND ecosystem."

The XOS Operating System: Software That Scales With the Mission

Both programs are built on XOS, XTEND's proprietary operating system for autonomous robotics. XOS serves as the software backbone enabling operators to deploy, supervise, and manage autonomous robotic systems across complex missions — air, ground, and maritime — while maintaining human oversight. Its software-first architecture supports a growing ecosystem of platforms, applications, and mission capabilities designed to evolve alongside customer requirements, creating the flywheel of follow-on procurement activity now visible in this announcement.

The JFB / XTEND Business Combination

As announced on February 17, 2026, JFB Construction Holdings (Nasdaq: JFB) and XTEND entered into a definitive agreement to combine in an all-stock transaction. The business combination is supported by strategic investments from Eric Trump, Unusual Machines (NYSE: UMAC), American Ventures, LLC, Protego Ventures, and Aliya Capital. Following closing, the combined company is expected to be renamed XTEND AI Robotics and list on a U.S. national securities exchange under the ticker symbol "XTND."

Autonomous Defense Sector Market Context

NAVI Performance Coach Urszula Klimczak and NAVI’s title sponsor GG.BET have unveiled "Tilt Management," a special project dedicated to mental health. The initiative consists of three in-depth articles covering demotivation, burnout, and dealing with hate — some of the most common mental health challenges faced not only by esports players, but also by their fans. The project places a strong emphasis on practical value, featuring real-life esports cases, proven advice and everyday practices, as well as self-support exercises readers can apply on their own.

Mental health is becoming increasingly relevant year after year, regardless of profession or lifestyle. Many of the challenges professional players experience are familiar to millions of people in their everyday lives. These include loss of purpose, poor work-life balance, conflicts within teams, vulnerability to criticism, and more. While esports professionals can rely on performance coaches and team staff for support, people outside the industry often have to seek professional help on their own — something that does not always happen. One of the key goals of the project is to support people who may not have access to professional guidance by explaining how different issues manifest themselves, offering practical tools for self-care and recovery, and highlighting when it is important to seek help from specialists.

The first article focuses on demotivation. It explains how to recognize its early signs, how to distinguish it from simple exhaustion, and what NAVI does to prevent players from reaching this state. Particular attention is paid to techniques that help regain focus, manage daily routines, and gradually restore energy.

The second article explores burnout both within and beyond esports. Readers can assess themselves using descriptions of the five stages of burnout and their symptoms, learn about NAVI’s approach to maintaining performance under a demanding schedule, and discover why variety in everyday life and taking smaller, more frequent breaks are essential elements of burnout prevention.

The final chapter of the project addresses hate and negativity. It explains why hatred and aggression ultimately say more about the hater than the target, how to establish healthy boundaries, and how to avoid being consumed by criticism — especially self-criticism. NAVI’s strategy for dealing with hate, combined with practical exercises, can help readers to challenge negative thoughts and distinguish constructive feedback from a stream of harmful negativity.

All articles from the "Tilt Management" project are available on the EGamersWorld "Tilt Management" platform.

Botanic Tonics, the leader in kava-centric botanical supplements, today announced the nationwide availability of KavaMaté, its botanical energy formula that unites two ancient botanical traditions: noble kava root and yerba mate. This distinctive pairing delivers sustained, grounded energy without the crashes and jitters associated with conventional stimulants, designed specifically to meet consumer demand for clean, plant-based alternatives.

KavaMaté joins Botanic Tonics’ flagship tonic feel free CLASSIC® at retailers including Murphy USA and select retailers nationwide.

“feel free CLASSIC is our flagship and a perennial NielsenIQ top SKU in the energy and supplement category, with hundreds of millions of servings sold,” said Chris Elebesunu, Chief Sales Officer at Botanic Tonics. “KavaMaté now joins feel free CLASSIC at retailers nationwide, giving consumers a second botanical formulation from the brand they already trust.”

As KavaMaté expands to Murphy USA and retailers nationwide, consumers can take advantage of a variety of limited-time promotions being offered at participating national retailers throughout the summer.

A Modern Energy Offering, Powered by Trusted Botanicals

KavaMaté’s innovative formula brings together two revered botanicals with deep cultural roots that have been trusted for centuries. Noble kava root, ceremonially cherished throughout Pacific Island cultures for more than 3,000 years, provides mental clarity while maintaining calm. Yerba mate, valued by indigenous South American communities for centuries, delivers natural sustained energy.

Together, these botanicals create an energy experience greater than the sum of its parts. The combination of noble kava root and yerba mate provides a balanced energy profile that creates Botanic Tonics’ signature “chilled energy:” a balanced state of calm, ideal for transforming ordinary moments into opportunities for presence.

More Ways to Experience feel free

Originally launched in select markets, strong consumer demand is bringing KavaMaté to retailers nationwide, marking a significant milestone for Botanic Tonics as the market for clean, recognizable, plant-based energy alternatives continues to grow exponentially.

Edison Scientific and Population Health Partners (PHP) today announced a strategic partnership to create and launch new biotechnology companies focused on some of the world's largest health challenges.

Under the partnership, Edison and PHP will combine PHP's track record of building successful biotechnology companies with Edison's AI scientist, Kosmos, to identify new opportunities, advance drug programs faster and with greater efficiency, and advance a broader range of innovative new businesses than would be possible through traditional approaches.

PHP is the team behind several notable biotechnology successes, including Metsera, the obesity drug company acquired by Pfizer in a deal worth up to $10 billion, and The Medicines Company, which was acquired by Novartis for $9.7 billion. Population Health Partners focuses on identifying innovations with the potential to improve healthspan at scale, and building companies to advance those innovations with industry-leading efficiency.

Rather than using AI for a single step in the drug development process, Edison and PHP plan to embed Kosmos throughout the lifecycle of ideation, company creation, and drug development — from identifying promising opportunities to dynamically analyzing clinical and nonclinical data, facilitating expert dialogue, and accelerating the development of scientific reports and regulatory deliverables.

The partnership's first effort is already underway and focuses on the full spectrum of development activities around an advanced, clinical-stage asset in PHP’s portfolio with the potential to impact 10% of the world’s population. Additional domains the partners will collaborate on include cardiovascular disease, inflammatory lung disease, and gastrointestinal diseases.

"We've shown that it's possible to build category-defining biotech companies around major population health problems," said Whit Bernard, Managing Partner at Population Health Partners and founder and CEO of Metsera. "The challenge is scale. There are far more important innovation opportunities than any one team can pursue. We believe AI can help us evaluate more opportunities, move faster, and ultimately build many more companies capable of bringing important new medicines to patients."

"Many of the best medicines begin inside small biotech companies, but how much those teams can discover is constrained by time, talent, and resources," said Sam Rodriques, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Edison Scientific. "Our goal is to use AI to dramatically expand what a biotech team can accomplish. If we get this right, we won't just build better companies, we'll build more of them, which means more shots on goal for patients waiting on new treatments."

About Edison Scientific

Edison Scientific is building the AI platform for scientific research and development. Kosmos, Edison’s collaborative AI scientist, partners with R&D teams to support critical decisions and workflows, leverage their proprietary data, and bring innovations to market faster. Edison is a scientist-led company that was spun out of the nonprofit research lab FutureHouse in 2025, backed by $70 million from Spark Capital, Triatomic Capital, and other investors.

Accesa hosted the fifth edition of Tech in Motion, its annual tech conference, bringing together 800 tech professionals, industry experts, and business leaders for a day of discussions, knowledge sharing, and innovation under the theme "Engineering in the Age of Uncertainty."

The event featured 17 speakers, including 12 Accesa experts and 5 partners, who shared perspectives on navigating technological and business change through engineering, innovation, and collaboration. Speakers represented organisations including Atruvia, Fressnapf, Databricks and MediaMarktSaturn, alongside experts from Accesa.

"For five editions, Tech in Motion has brought together our colleagues, customers, and partners to look at technology the way we always have: as a way to create value for people and businesses. This year's theme, 'Engineering in the Age of Uncertainty,' reflects a simple belief we hold at Accesa: uncertainty is not a threat to engineering; it is the work itself. Our job is to turn the unknown into real value for the people and businesses we serve every single day," says Gabriel Sobolu, CTO at Accesa.

A highlight of the event was the presentation delivered by Peter Hinssen, internationally recognised author, entrepreneur, and co-founder of nexxworks. In his presentation, "The Never Normal: How to Leverage the Uncertainty Principle," Hinssen challenged organisations to rethink their approach to change, demonstrating how uncertainty can become a driver of resilience, adaptability and long-term growth rather than a barrier to progress.

Attendees gained insights from real-world engineering challenges and business transformation journeys, while also exploring a series of interactive demos and proof of concept areas.

These included showcases focused on the future of European digital payments, production-ready AI development, career growth opportunities, international expansion initiatives, and the celebration of long-standing strategic partnerships.

"Events like these are not only valuable from a professional perspective but also demonstrate the importance of bringing together people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to foster innovation and collaboration. I returned home with many interesting ideas, valuable contacts, and a very positive impression of both the event and the vibrant technology community in Cluj," says Andreas Auer, COO at Kuntze.

Tech in Motion concluded with a joint discussion between Accesa and MediaMarktSaturn on how AI is reshaping engineering practices, influencing strategic decision-making, and creating new opportunities for innovation across industries.

Now in its fifth year, Tech in Motion continues to provide a platform for meaningful conversations between technology experts, business leaders, and partners, fostering collaboration around the ideas shaping the future.
