KUALA LUMPUR, July 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Emerging Payments Association Asia (EPAA) has launched the AI & Agentic Payments Working Group with founding member HSBC, bringing together the banks, payment networks, fintechs and technology platforms that will define the standards to make agentic commerce work safely and at scale across Asia Pacific (APAC).AI agents are already making payments on behalf of consumers and businesses across the region. HSBC, together with Mastercard, piloted end-to-end B2B agentic commerce transactions for two Singapore-based clients in May. Alipay's AI Pay exceeded 120 million autonomous transactions in a single week in February. Mastercard completed its first live consumer authenticated agentic payment in APAC in March. The region is projected to be the fastest growing market for agentic commerce globally, expanding at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of nearly 45% through 2031.However, there is currently no agreed standard across APAC for who is liable when an AI agent exceeds its mandate, how agents are identified and authenticated across borders, how fraud detection systems, built to flag human behaviour, distinguish a legitimate agent acting at machine speed from a compromised account, or how disputes are resolved when software, not a person, initiated the transaction.EPAA's AI & Agentic Payments Working Group is the first industry-wide effort in APAC to address these questions collectively.The problem the industry cannot solve aloneThe IMF noted earlier this year that current liability regimes "assume human intent and direct causation", frameworks that become legally ambiguous the moment an autonomous agent makes a decision independently, such as when an AI agent books a flight, settles a B2B invoice, or initiates a subscription renewal.In Europe, regulators are already grappling with this through PSD3, the EU AI Act (which classifies certain AI financial systems as high-risk with strict accountability requirements), and an emerging "Know Your Agent" trust framework for identity and transparency.The cost of getting this wrong is significant. Legal analysis of the UK's mandatory APP fraud reimbursement model, where liability sits 50/50 between sending and receiving payment service providers, suggests that if a similar approach were applied to agentic AI, aggregate PSP exposure "could be significant given the speed and scale at which AI agents can authorise payments". Fraud models built to detect human behaviour could also flag legitimate agentic payment patterns as suspicious, creating false positives at machine scale.What the working group will doEPAA's AI & Agentic Payments Working Group will bring together the cross-section of APAC's payments ecosystem, including institutions, networks, fintechs, technology platforms and innovators, to develop shared, practical outcomes the industry can act on. This includes:Common standards and infrastructure for agent identity, authentication, and authorisation.Trust and liability frameworks that define responsibility when an agent acts beyond its mandate or when a payment goes wrong.Business models and commercial frameworks that make agentic commerce viable and scalable for all participants in the ecosystem.Coordinated engagement with regulators across the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), ensuring the frameworks being written reflect how the industry operates today, not how it operated five years ago.Practical toolkits, briefings, and intelligence that member organisations can deploy into their own operations.The working group's positions will be developed through EPAA's 18-month engagement process with ASEAN and APEC governments and central banks, with formal policy paper recommendations to be delivered at the 51st ASEAN Summit and APEC Economic Leaders' Week in November 2027.Camilla Bullock, CEO, Emerging Payments Association Asia, said: "AI agents are transacting across Asia Pacific right now, at scale, at machine speed, and without the regulatory architecture to protect businesses and consumers from real risks around liability, identity and fraud. Every organisation in this industry is trying to solve these problems independently, in isolation from the regulators and governments who will ultimately write the rules."The EPAA AI & Agentic Payments Working Group brings the right organisations together to define the standards, infrastructure and frameworks that agentic commerce demands, and takes those positions directly to the regulators and governments across ASEAN and APEC. The organisations that help build these frameworks now will shape how agentic commerce works across Asia Pacific for the next decade."Nicholas Soo, Managing Director and Asia Head of Payment Products, Global Payments Solutions at HSBC, said: "Our ambition is to be the most trusted bank globally, and nowhere is this more true than in payments. The same level of customer trust must carry through to the new business models that are being developed as automation and agentic AI reshape commerce. Our pilot agentic commerce transactions have demonstrated how B2B transactions can be executed end-to-end with control, transparency, and risk management from the start. We look forward to working with other members of the working group to build the foundations required for agentic commerce to take flight."Join the working groupPlaces on the AI & Agentic Payments Working Group, both at committee level (10–12 organisations) and working group level (up to 30 organisations), are open to EPAA member organisations across the APAC payments ecosystem.

SINGAPORE, July 15, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - AI Labs, the Singapore-based artificial intelligence trading company, recently announced the official launch of its AI-powered investment intelligence platform, marking the company’s expansion from AI trading technology into technology equity analysis. The new platform is designed to bring institutional-grade market analytics to retail investors.The company, incubated by Academic Labs, has launched two products: the AIV Chatbot, a conversational AI assistant for market analysis, and Tech Equities AI, an AI-powered recommendation engine that generates buy, sell, and hold signals for major Nasdaq-listed stocks including NVIDIA, Microsoft, Meta, SpaceX, Micron, Alphabet, Palantir Technologies and SK Hynix.The launch comes as AI-assisted investment tools become increasingly common with companies including Bloomberg and OpenAI launching AI-powered analytical tools. Most institutional-grade platforms, however, remain focused on professional investors, leaving a gap AI Labs says it aims to fill.The expansion reflects AI Labs’ ambition to become a full-spectrum investment intelligence platform as technology stocks face growing scrutiny over valuations and AI infrastructure spending.“Markets are moving faster than any individual can track,” said Ryan Chi, chief executive and founder of AI Labs. “Institutional desks have teams of analysts, quant models, and data feeds working around the clock. We aim to give individual investors access to analytical tools more commonly used by institutional investors — synthesising smart money flows, insider activity, technical patterns, and business fundamentals into a single, clear view.”AI-driven investment analysisTech Equities AI combines four sources of analysis: institutional and hedge fund positioning, insider trading activity, technical indicators, and company fundamentals, including earnings trends, valuation metrics, and sector-specific risks. Each stock receives an AI confidence score and price target to provide users with a transparent basis for investment decisions. The models are updated continuously using market data and publicly available corporate disclosures, according to the company.The AIV Chatbot complements the recommendation engine by allowing users to query the platform in natural language for analysis of individual stocks, sector outlooks, and cross-asset relationships, including links between technology equities and AI-related cryptocurrency tokens.Kingston Kwek, a key advisor to AI Labs, said the launch reflected the company’s core mission. “The information asymmetry between institutional and retail investors has widened sharply as markets have become more data-intensive,” he said. “Our platform aims to narrow that gap by helping users make more informed investment decisions with the same analytical rigour applied by professional investors.”AI Labs said the products are now live and that it has further plans to expand beyond technology stocks into broader equity markets.This article is based on information provided by AI Labs.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - July 14, 2026) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQX: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its 2026 drill program at its 100%-owned Hat polymetallic porphyry project ("Hat" or the "Project") in northwestern British Columbia. Drill holes H109 through H112 at Pad 1, East of the Hat deposit, have reached their intended depth targets, with drill core intersecting Hat-style mineralization consistent with the broader mineralized system. Assay results are pending. The Company is now advancing drilling operations to Pad 2, Southwest of the Hat deposit.Drill target locations for the 2026 program were developed through three independent technical methods. Four priority drill pad locations, Pad 1, Pad 2, Pad 3, and Pad 4, were consistently identified by all three methods, providing an exceptional level of convergence and geological confidence. The selected locations are designed to expand the mineral resource envelope and upgrade Inferred mineral resources toward the Indicated and Measured categories required to support a Pre-Feasibility Study.CEO CommentFarshad Shirvani, President and CEO of Doubleview Gold Corp., commented: "What gives me the greatest confidence in our 2026 drill program is that three entirely independent technical evaluations - our geological team's interpretation, a rigorous quantitative resource confidence assessment, and a systematic AI analysis of our geophysical data, all pointed to the same four locations. That level of independent convergence is exceptional and speaks to the coherent, well-defined nature of the Hat system. Pad 1 has delivered exactly what we expected, and we are now advancing to Pad 2. Our objective in this program is strategic: to expand the resource and to provide the data necessary to convert Inferred tonnes into Indicated and Measured categories in support of future engineering and economic studies."HighlightsDrilling at Pad 1 (H109-H112) has reached intended depth targets with Hat-style mineralization intersected in drill core. Assay results are pending.Three independent target methods, geological interpretation, quantitative resource confidence assessment (conditional simulation), and AI-assisted geophysical analysis, all identify the same four priority pad locations.The convergence of all three independent methods on four common locations provides an exceptional level of geological confidence underpinning the 2026 drill program.Drill locations are designed to expand the mineralized footprint and upgrade Inferred mineral resources toward Indicated and Measured categories in support of future Pre-Feasibility Study requirements.Doubleview has released an interactive three-dimensional technical database of the Hat deposit, available at https://www.doubleview.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hat_3D_Database-v2.html (desktop browser recommended).The Company is advancing drilling operations to Pad 2.2026 Target Selection MethodologyThe Company pursued an accelerated, data-intensive approach to target selection for the 2026 drill program, with the objective of maximizing geological confidence in a single exploration season. Three complementary and independent target-generation methods were applied:Geological Interpretation. Doubleview's geological team developed drill targets through an integrated review of the deposit's geological model, drill hole data, core logging, structural framework, alteration patterns, and the spatial distribution of mineralization. Target locations were selected to address areas with limited drill coverage and to test the lateral and depth continuity and expansion potential of the mineralized system.Resource Confidence Assessment. Tomasz Wawruch, FAusIMM, of Mineit Consulting Inc., completed an independent quantitative resource confidence assessment using conditional simulation techniques. The study identified priority drill locations where additional drilling would most effectively reduce estimation uncertainty and support reclassification of mineral resources from Inferred toward Indicated and Measured categories, specifically those required for a defensible Pre-Feasibility Study.AI-Assisted Geophysical Analysis. Doubleview commissioned DrillTargetAI to perform a systematic review of the Hat Project's induced polarization (IP) geophysical dataset. The analysis identified zones where high chargeability coincides with low resistivity, a signature consistent with the sulfide-bearing, copper-mineralized systems already confirmed at Hat. Candidate zones were restricted to areas located more than 180 metres from existing drill collars to prioritize untested ground, and were distributed across the target area to ensure targets test distinct portions of the anomaly. The analysis is grounded entirely in the Project's own geophysical data, rather than external or generic models.The four priority pad locations, Pad 1, Pad 2, Pad 3, and Pad 4, represent locations where all three independent methods identify targets in close spatial agreement. This convergence provides a robust foundation of geological confidence for the 2026 program and serves as an independent validation of the coherent nature of the Hat mineralizing system.Figure 1: Drill target priority areas and pad locations for the 2026 exploration program.

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. The substantial Inferred resource component represents a meaningful opportunity to advance resource confidence through targeted, systematic drilling. The 2026 drill program is designed to provide the geological continuity and data density required to support conversion of Inferred resources to Indicated and Measured categories, and to test the expansion potential of the mineralized system beyond the current resource envelope in support of future engineering and economic studies.Interactive 3D Hat Project DatabaseDoubleview has published a browser-based interactive three-dimensional technical database of the Hat deposit, incorporating drill hole data, geological interpretation, and resource modelling.

BANDUNG, INDONESIA, July 14, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Selangor International Business Summit (SIBS) ASEAN 2026 has created new opportunities for investment and stronger economic cooperation between Selangor, Malaysia, and Indonesia's West Java Province through a forum that brings together government officials, business leaders, and investors in Bandung.Selangor Menteri Besar Dato' Seri Amirudin Shari (right) and West Java Vice Governor Erwan Setiawan (left) deliver remarks during the Selangor International Business Summit (SIBS) ASEAN 2026 at Pullman Bandung Grand Central Hotel, Bandung, West Java, July 9, 2026. (ANTARA/Rubby Jovan)Selangor Menteri Besar Dato' Seri Amirudin Shari said the summit extends beyond business opportunities by fostering broader bilateral cooperation across multiple sectors."At the Selangor International Business Summit, one of the key agendas is business matching and coordination through agencies such as Invest Selangor and other related institutions. As a result, businesses stand to benefit significantly from the relationships established through this forum," Amirudin said in Bandung on Thursday.He emphasized that the ideas generated during the summit should be translated into concrete collaborations among communities, institutions, companies, and governments."One of the most encouraging outcomes of this meeting is the proposal to establish a consistent cooperation forum between Selangor and the ministries and regional governments participating in the summit," he said.Amirudin expressed hope that such a platform would facilitate discussions on a wide range of bilateral initiatives, including semiconductor development, food security, energy, and defense."That is why I stress that this cooperation must go beyond business alone. If we focus solely on business, people will only think about profits. Yet there are equally important aspects, such as culture, sovereignty, security, and shared prosperity," he added.Meanwhile, West Java Vice Governor Erwan Setiawan said the province possesses significant potential for collaboration with Selangor across sectors including manufacturing, infrastructure, tourism, and trade."There are many sectors that we can develop together, including manufacturing, infrastructure, tourism, and trade. We will continue to strengthen cooperation between West Java and Selangor, and I hope business players in West Java will seize the opportunities created through this partnership," Erwan said.He added that West Java is also keen to strengthen its Islamic economic ecosystem by learning from Malaysia, particularly Selangor, which has established itself as one of the world's leading hubs for the Islamic economy."We also want to learn from Malaysia, especially Selangor, on how to further develop the Islamic economy.

For decades, luggage has remained largely unchanged. Manufacturers introduced lighter materials, stronger shells, smoother wheels, and more refined craftsmanship, yet the fundamental role of a suitcase has never evolved. Whether carrying premium luggage or a traditional Luxury Suitcase, travelers still spend countless hours pulling heavy bags through airports, railway stations, convention centers, hotels, and city streets.Airwheel believes the suitcase should no longer be a passive container.Instead, it should become an intelligent mobility companion that actively assists travelers throughout every stage of their journey.Guided by this vision, Airwheel has spent years developing a new generation of AI Suitcase technology that combines the practicality of a premium Cabin Suitcase, the convenience of an Electric Suitcase, the freedom of a Rideable Suitcase, and the intelligence of a fully connected Smart Suitcase into a single travel platform.Rather than simply storing personal belongings, an Airwheel suitcase helps people move farther, faster, and more comfortably while remaining connected throughout the trip.This philosophy represents far more than product innovation.

Jakarta, 13 July 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - National flag carrier Garuda Indonesia is further advancing its service transformation and modernisation with the introduction of a piece-based checked baggage policy, commonly known as the Piece Concept.The new policy will apply to tickets issued on or after 1 September 2026 for travel commencing on or after that date. Passengers whose tickets are issued before 1 September 2026 will continue to receive the baggage allowance stated on their tickets, including for journeys scheduled on or after the implementation date.Garuda's new "Piece Concept" checked baggage policy provides greater clarity on the number and maximum weight of baggage pieces, while offering enhanced allowances based on route, travel class and fare category.The introduction of the Piece Concept marks an important milestone in Garuda Indonesia’s ongoing service transformation. Under the new policy, checked baggage allowances, which were previously calculated based on the combined weight of all baggage under the Weight Concept, will instead be determined by the number of pieces and the maximum permitted weight of each piece.This modernised approach provides passengers with greater clarity and certainty when planning their baggage, while offering enhanced value through checked baggage allowances of up to two pieces weighing a maximum of 32 kilograms each, or up to 64 kilograms in total, depending on the route, travel class and fare category.Garuda Indonesia Director of Transformation Neil Raymond Mills said the implementation of the Piece Concept reflects the Company’s commitment to delivering a travel experience that is increasingly modern, consistent, transparent and easy to understand.“The implementation of the Piece Concept forms part of Garuda Indonesia’s broader transformation to modernise our services and provide passengers with greater certainty. Clearer limits on the number and maximum weight of baggage pieces will allow passengers to plan and prepare their baggage more easily, from the initial stages of their journey through to departure,” Neil said.For tickets issued on or after 1 September 2026 for travel commencing on or after that date, passengers travelling on domestic routes in Economy Class will receive an allowance of one checked baggage piece weighing up to 23 kilograms. Business Class and First Class passengers will receive an allowance of two pieces weighing up to 32 kilograms each, or up to 64 kilograms in total.On international routes, Economy Class passengers will receive an allowance of two checked baggage pieces weighing up to 23 kilograms each. Business Class and First Class passengers will receive an allowance of two pieces weighing up to 32 kilograms each, or up to 64 kilograms in total.Compared with the previous Weight Concept, the Piece Concept provides increased total baggage allowances, with the level of increase varying by route and travel class.On domestic services, the Economy Class baggage allowance will increase from 20 kilograms to 23 kilograms, while the Business Class allowance will increase from 30 kilograms to 64 kilograms and the First Class allowance from 40 kilograms to 64 kilograms.On international services, the Economy Class baggage allowance will increase from 30 kilograms to 46 kilograms, while the Business Class allowance will increase from 40 kilograms to 64 kilograms and the First Class allowance from 50 kilograms to 64 kilograms.As a result, passengers may receive up to 34 kilograms of additional checked baggage allowance compared with the previous policy, subject to the applicable number of pieces and the maximum weight permitted for each piece.Neil added that the new policy would also support greater consistency across Garuda Indonesia’s domestic and international networks.“The Piece Concept is widely adopted across the global aviation industry. Its implementation at Garuda Indonesia is expected to strengthen service standardisation, support more efficient baggage handling and provide passengers with greater certainty, including when connecting to international flight networks,” Neil continued.To ensure a seamless transition, Garuda Indonesia encourages passengers to familiarise themselves with the permitted number of baggage pieces and the maximum weight allowed per piece. This will help passengers plan their journeys more easily and make optimal use of their baggage allowances.The implementation of the Piece Concept will continue to be reviewed and refined based on passenger feedback, reflecting Garuda Indonesia’s commitment to delivering a more convenient and comfortable travel experience.Passengers are encouraged to review the Piece Concept provisions, including the applicable baggage allowances based on route, travel class and fare category, through Garuda Indonesia’s official website at https://www.garuda-indonesia.com/id/en/new-baggage-policy.Passengers may also verify their applicable checked baggage allowance based on the ticket’s date of issue and date of travel through Garuda Indonesia’s official information channels. Further information is available through the Garuda Indonesia Contact Centre and the Company’s official social media accounts.“The implementation of the Piece Concept represents another important step towards delivering services that are more transparent, consistent and aligned with passenger needs. Through this modernisation, we aim to provide greater value and a more comfortable and seamless travel experience, while continuing to uphold the highest standards of safety and compliance with applicable aviation regulations,” Neil concluded.Contact:PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) TbkCorporate CommunicationsEmail: corpcomm@garuda-indonesia.com Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, July 10, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), sponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA), and one of the core events of the third edition of “Hong Kong Fashion Fest”, CENTRESTAGE, the annual highlight of the Asian fashion scene, will be held from 2 to 5 September at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. As the grand opening show on the first day of the fair (2 September), CENTRESTAGE ELITES will spotlight KIT WAN STUDIOS, a multidisciplinary design and visual art studio led by Hong Kong-born creative director and visual artist Kit Wan. The studio will present their forthcoming collection fusing sci-fi inspirations with mechanical aesthetics, blurring the boundaries between collectable and wearable fashion.Hong Kong has actively promoted a “Mega Events Economy” in recent years, with large-scale concerts and live performances becoming an increasingly important component of the city’s cultural and creative landscape. Stage design and performance costumes are integral elements of the audience experience at such events. This year’s CENTRESTAGE ELITES is acclaimed for merging manga and mythology with bespoke, highly detailed metalwork, multimedia installations and cinematic garment design. The studio’s unique “abstract reality” approach spans everything from one-of-a-kind costume design to permanent museum exhibits.As a performative costume designer and scenographer navigating the global entertainment industry, the artist treats sets and lighting as a collaborative canvas, seamlessly interweaving music, mood and entertainment elements. Designing “stage armour” for artists in Los Angeles at the Grammy Awards and Eurovision in the United Kingdom allow Hong Kong design to shine on top-tier global stages. Simultaneously, the studio remains deeply rooted in Cantopop, injecting a vibrant vitality into Hong Kong’s entertainment and performing arts industry. By infusing pop culture with avant-garde, bold and experimental aesthetics, he has pioneered a new visual dimension.The studio’s collaborative roster of local superstars is formidable, encompassing Aaron Kwok, Hins Cheung, MC Cheung, Miriam Yeung, Nicholas Tse and Panther Chan, while his overseas portfolio includes Alan Cumming, Warhol icon Cherry Vanilla, singer/songwriter Teddy Swims and countless Scandinavian pop stars. From avant-garde garments that express a performer's identity to highly dramatic stage installations, the studio consistently employs a precise visual language to erase the boundaries between clothing, performance and art, creating unparalleled visual impact and cultural value.Headlining this year's CENTRESTAGE ELITES, KIT WAN STUDIOS will stage its solo fashion show in Hong Kong, marking a homecoming for the studio founded by Hong Kong-born creative director and visual artist Kit Wan. “It feels like ‘THE’ moment for my work to come from my clearest voice, from my clearest mind. I am grateful to my collaborators (famous and otherwise) but with any partnership it is a shared vision. This collection is from my heart, my voice – so completely – and I am excited to share that with my hometown of Hong Kong.”The artist first majored in knitwear design at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University before extending his footprint to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, after a short stint in London where he was a “stage” for several British luminaries. The artist then relocated to Oslo, Norway, where he completed his MA in fashion design and started exploring the space between art and fashion.Shedding any conventional shell of traditional fashion to cultivate a uniquely avant-garde perspective, the artist has transcended the physical boundaries of garments. He is the first fashion designer to be honoured with the “Young Artist Award” by the Norwegian government. His creations have been enshrined in the permanent collection of the National Museum of Norway, elevating them to timeless art.

NEW YORK, July 10, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Digital promotion leader Branzy (https://www.branzy.top) has officially launched a comprehensive series of public welfare activities and offline specialized training programs aimed at empowering local communities and driving job creation. This initiative comes as part of a landmark five-year cooperation agreement signed between Branzy and the relevant authorities in Mozambique.The newly deployed offline training modules and public welfare actions are strategically designed to align with Mozambique’s National Development Strategy (ENDE) and its newly approved Strategic Plan 2025-2029. By pivoting its industry-leading digital expertise toward humanitarian and economic aid, Branzy is actively addressing severe employment shortages. The company’s localized programs focus heavily on equipping young professionals and aspiring creators with actionable modern skill sets, directly facilitating long-term economic diversification and safeguarding regional economic independence."True visibility is not just about digital metrics; it is about creating measurable, real-world opportunities," said a spokesperson for Branzy. "Our offline training sessions are carefully tailored to translate complex global media dynamics into accessible, practical tools for the local workforce. By teaching individuals how to manage content ecosystems, understand platform algorithms, and optimize cross-platform engagement, we are opening sustainable doors to the modern digital economy."The offline workshops leverage Branzy’s multi-platform competencies across major networks like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter). Participants receive hands-on instruction in content creation, audience interaction strategies, and digital reach enhancement—the very mechanisms that have allowed Branzy to generate over 120 million global content impressions. By teaching these highly sought-after digital skills, the training acts as an immediate catalyst for local employment, turning regional participants into self-sufficient digital creators and media managers capable of working in the global landscape.Beyond classroom education, Branzy’s public welfare framework includes community support systems intended to help transition trainees smoothly into active roles within the job market. This holistic approach ensures that the collaboration yields structural benefits rather than temporary relief.As the first phase of this multi-year strategic plan gains momentum, Branzy remains committed to fostering stable, transparent communication with both government entities and community leaders. By bridging the gap between global digital infrastructure and local grassroots talent, the company continues to redefine corporate social responsibility, ensuring that technological growth serves as an engine for widespread human advancement.About BranzyHeadquartered at 85 Broad St, New York, Branzy is a high-tech enterprise specializing in digital promotion, content exposure support, and audience engagement solutions.
