<div dir="ltr" id="prni_dvprnejpgd797left" style="width: 100%; text-align: left;"><img decoding="async" align="middle" alt="The opening ceremony of the 13th World Peace Forum at Tsinghua University in Beijing" id="prnejpgd797left" src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2725028/WechatIMG8995.jpg" title="The opening ceremony of the 13th World Peace Forum at Tsinghua University in Beijing"></img></div>
Running from July 2 to 4, the forum is China’s foremost non-governmental platform for international security dialogue. Jointly organized by Tsinghua University and the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs, it has convened over 400 participants for a sweeping exchange on global challenges.
Chinese Vice President Han Zheng addressed the opening ceremony on July 3, calling for jointly safeguarding international fairness and justice, and improving the global governance system. He put forward four proposals. First, learning from history and jointly safeguarding the post-war international order, as well as international fairness and justice. Second, adhering to solidarity and cooperation in order to improve global governance. Third, promoting openness and cooperation to drive global prosperity and development. Fourth, standing together in solidarity and jointly advancing toward modernization.
Qiu Yong, Secretary of the CPC Tsinghua University Committee, attended the opening ceremony. Li Luming, President of Tsinghua University and Chairman of the World Peace Forum, delivered a welcome speech.
The event brought together a distinguished group of attendees, including former foreign political dignitaries such as former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, former Belgian Prime Minister and ex-President of the European Council Herman van Rompuy, diplomatic envoys to China, as well as renowned experts and scholars.
The forum features four plenary sessions and 18 panel discussions, addressing critical issues ranging from the stability of the international economic order to the growing influence of the Global South and the shifting contours of China–Europe relations. In a nod to emerging threats, participants are also probing the risks posed by artificial intelligence in armed conflict, underscoring the forum’s focus on both current geopolitical tensions and contemporary security dilemmas.
As one of the leading platforms for international security dialogue, the World Peace Forum promotes mutual understanding and collective responses to global challenges. Its emphasis on shared responsibility reflects the enduring importance of multilateral cooperation especially in the face of shifting global power dynamics.
The event has also drawn significant media attention, with more than 200 journalists representing over 80 domestic and international outlets in attendance.

In parallel, ITRI co-hosted the UK-Taiwan Joint Workshop on 6G Technologies and Future Networks at the University of Cambridge, in partnership with the UK Federated Telecoms Hubs (UK FTH) and the UK Telecoms Innovation Network (UKTIN). The event showcased the UK’s national 6G flagship programs—Towards 6G via Integrating Telecoms and Networks (TITAN) and Joint Open Infrastructure for Experimentation and Research (JOINER)—and brought together telecom leaders from both countries to explore strategic areas such as Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), Open RAN, AI-native networks, Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC), and Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS). These discussions laid the groundwork for accelerated innovation and the formation of a global 6G innovation ecosystem.
The Cambridge workshop gathered prominent stakeholders including the UK Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT), UKTIN, BT Group, along with representatives from the Department of Industrial Technology (DoIT) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), MediaTek, Compal, Ataya, YTTEK, ITRI, and the Institute for Information Industry (III). The discussions emphasized shared goals in technological breakthroughs and deepened cooperation in 6G.
“Openness has been a core value since the 5G era,” said Pang-An Ting, ITRI Vice President and General Director of the Information and Communications Research Laboratories. “ITRI continues to partner with industry, academia, and research institutions to drive the development of Open RAN, establishing a solid foundation for the next generation of 6G technologies.” He also noted that ITRI is building a dedicated 6G trial network and will host a public demonstration of Taiwan’s progress in 2026. “We warmly invite global partners to participate in joint trials and contribute to the validation of core 6G technologies,” he said.
Catherine Page, Deputy Director at DSIT, reaffirmed the UK’s commitment to advancing next-generation digital technologies, highlighting achievements in 5G deployment and an increasing focus on future networks. She underscored the value of strong international partnerships, especially with Taiwan, in areas such as semiconductors and Open RAN, expressing enthusiasm for deeper UK-Taiwan collaboration.
Professor Harald Haas of the University of Cambridge stressed the importance of real-world testing to turn innovation into market-ready solutions. He highlighted the UK’s R&D capabilities and Taiwan’s robust ICT supply chain as highly complementary, offering long-term potential for joint success in 6G development.
The workshop concluded with a commitment from both sides to continue advancing breakthroughs in NTN, Open RAN, and AI-native networks. The UK reiterated its focus on foundational R&D and open-source innovation, while Taiwan, led by ITRI, showcased its comprehensive 6G strategy, leveraging strengths in semiconductors, electronics manufacturing, and open supply chains. Both countries pledged to expand joint testing platforms and deepen cooperation to accelerate the global rollout of 6G technologies.
At the EuCNC & 6G Summit, ITRI signed MoUs with the EU’s 6G-SENSES project and Dutch research organization TNO, expanding joint efforts in ISAC and RIS technology verification and aligning with global standardization efforts.
As part of its global outreach, ITRI also announced three major cross-border collaborations, including an MoU with Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology (IPT), and Taiwanese company YTTEK to jointly develop a smart manufacturing metaverse solution, which will be validated at Fraunhofer’s testbed – demonstrating Taiwan’s strength in applying advanced technologies to real-world use cases.
Taiwan’s 6G delegation featured representatives from the DoIT, NSTC, ITRI, Taiwan Association of Information and Communication Standards (TAICS), MediaTek, Compal, BenQ Materials, TMYTEK, Auden, Metanoia, Ataya, YTTEK, and leading universities such as National Chung Cheng University (CCU), National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST), and National Tsing Hua University (NTHU). ITRI presented its FORMOSA-6G initiative, covering AI-RAN and chip development in addition to end-to-end testbed platforms. A 6G trial network is slated to launch this year at ITRI’s Hsinchu campus, serving as a hub for international collaboration.

Day 2 of the BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA PRO SERIES (BMPS) 2025 Grand Finale delivered another round of high-octane action at the Yashobhoomi Convention Centre, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. With just one day remaining before the crowning of a new champion, the intensity soared as all 16 top BGMI teams clashed in fiercely competitive matchups.
Shri Bhubaneswar Kalita, MP Rajya Sabha and Hon’ble Chairman, Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science & Technology, Environment, Forests and Climate Change, attended Day 2 of the event. He remarked, “For a country like India with the world’s largest youth population, a rapidly growing digital economy, and top-tier IT capabilities, Esports represents a strategic opportunity. It is not just a form of entertainment, but a platform for medals, employment, digital entrepreneurship, and soft power. We are also seeing robust participation from the private sector. Companies like KRAFTON India with Mr. Sean and others are investing deeply in India’s video gaming and Esports ecosystem, nurturing homegrown talent, building infrastructure, and providing platforms for global exposure.”
As teams continue to jostle for leaderboard dominance and secure their claim to the Rs.4 crore prize pool, Day 2 proved pivotal, showcasing breakout performances, tactical comebacks, and edge-of-the-seat finishes that promise a thrilling culmination on Day 3.
With only six matches left to determine the winner, all eyes now turn to the Grand Finals on July 6, where one team will rise above the rest to claim the championship title.
NONX delivered an exceptional comeback, racking up multiple chicken dinners and shaking up the standings dramatically. Meanwhile, 4M followed closely, fending off pressure from challengers. Teams like AXTMG, LHS, and GOX showcased fierce determination, setting the stage for a nail-biting Day 3 finale.

Saleh bin Nasser Al-Jasser, Minister of Transport and Logistic Services and Chairman of the Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani), laid the foundation stone for a new logistics corridor connecting Jeddah Islamic Port to Al-Khumrah Logistics Park.
<div dir="ltr" id="prni_dvprnejpg8084left" style="width: 100%; text-align: left;"><img decoding="async" align="middle" alt="Minister Al-Jasser Lays Foundation Stone for Logistics Corridor Linking Jeddah Islamic Port and Al-Khumrah Logistics Park" id="prnejpg8084left" src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2724226/The_Saudi_Ports_Authority_Mawani.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 225px;" title="Minister Al-Jasser Lays Foundation Stone for Logistics Corridor Linking Jeddah Islamic Port and Al-Khumrah Logistics Park"></img></div>
The ceremony was attended by Mawani President Eng. Suliman Almazroua, alongside senior officials and leaders from across the transport and logistics ecosystem.
Developed and implemented by Mawani, the corridor project is valued at over $183.7 million and spans 17 kilometerswith two lanes in each direction. It features 12 overpasses, emergency access points, maintenance facilities, and a comprehensive rainwater drainage system, providing uninterrupted truck movement between the port and the logistics park while bypassing Jeddah’s urban road network.
Minister Al-Jasser emphasized that the dedicated corridor will increase Jeddah Islamic Port’s handling capacity by 10%, streamline truck flows, and enhance road safety by separating heavy truck traffic from general urban traffic. The project is also expected to reduce congestion, noise, and visual pollution, while contributing to lower carbon emissions and a better urban living environment.
“This initiative is a key milestone under the National Transport and Logistics Strategy, reinforcing the Kingdom’s ambition to become a global logistics hub connecting three continents,” said Al-Jasser.
The corridor strengthens multimodal integration and supply chain efficiency, while enhancing trade facilitation and the operational performance of Jeddah Islamic Port. It also unlocks new investment opportunities in the region and creates added value for transporters, importers, exporters, shipping lines, and logistics park users.
Jeddah Islamic Port is a major gateway on the Red Sea coast, covering 12.5 square kilometers with 62 multi-purpose berths, state-of-the-art terminals, and specialized facilities that support regional and international trade.
This project represents another significant step in advancing Saudi Arabia’s logistics sector and achieving Vision 2030’s economic diversification and connectivity goals.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[First of its kind institutional-grade fund opens access to a new and growing class of traditional and digital asset-native allocators
HAMILTON, Bermuda, July 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — <a href="https://www.memberscap.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Members Capital Management</a> (“MembersCap”), a Bermuda-regulated investment manager, today completed the successful investment of its initial portfolio through its fund, MCM Fund I, the first tokenised institutional-grade reinsurance fund designed for both sophisticated digital asset investors and traditional allocators. All portfolio trades were executed with global reinsurance companies and top-tier Lloyd’s of London syndicates, and were sourced through the top three global reinsurance brokers.
MCM Fund I opens access to reinsurance income for a rapidly expanding capital base of new investors seeking diversified and uncorrelated investment alternatives with attractive yield and structured liquidity.
The launch represents the growing importance of funds structuring their offerings to take advantage of the continuing convergence between traditional finance and digital assets. Backed by Solana, Aptos, and Cardano and supported by institutions like Coinbase, Archax, Apex Group, and Envelop Risk, MembersCap has selected the Solana, Aptos, Cardano, and Base protocols to provide access to qualified investors wishing to invest using eligible cryptocurrencies.
MembersCap has been selected as the first fund in the real-world assets category on the Archax platform, sitting alongside tokenized offerings from other institutions like BlackRock, State Street, and Aberdeen.
The reinsurance opportunity 
Being fundamentally uncorrelated with the financial markets, reinsurance has consistently outperformed most traditional alternatives over the past two decades. Despite being highly yield-generative, the sector has historically been reserved for pension plans, sovereign wealth funds, and other institutional giants.
Increasingly, both crypto-native investors and smaller traditional allocators are seeking refuge from market volatility by accessing reinsurance as a stable, diversified income stream to support a balanced portfolio and enhance overall returns.
“Every generation is presented with new technologies that unlock economic opportunity. To us, tokenisation and the blockchain represent access to better asset management for a different class of investor,” said Lloyd Wahed, Co-Founder and CEO of MembersCap. “We’re excited to be one of the first institutional funds to emerge from this space.”
“Our investors– digital asset institutions, family offices, HNWIs —want to meet their goals of resiliency and long-term sustainable growth through new and more efficient means. With this novel approach, we’re seeing these investors view reinsurance as a core part of their portfolio for the first time,” said Patrick Barrett, Co-Founder and COO at MembersCap.
“This launch proves that tokenisation can bring new capital to help address the growing insurance protection gap by lowering barriers and providing access to the private reinsurance market,” said Dr. Benjamin Fox, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer at MembersCap. “Our tokenised model enables a new cohort of investors to participate pari passu alongside large institutions in an uncorrelated asset class with a track record of reliable, attractive returns.”
Positioned as an alternative to private equity, venture capital, and fixed income strategies, MCM Fund I provides qualified investors with regulated and collateralised access to reinsurance via direct exposure to natural catastrophe and cyber reinsurance contracts sourced through blue-chip global partners.
For Web3 treasuries, foundations, and institutions, the Fund delivers high-yield opportunities and structured liquidity, derived from high-quality, real-world reinsurance returns, without exposure to DeFi volatility and over-concentration in altcoins.
MembersCap was founded in 2024 and is backed by a strong coalition of both institutional and blockchain-native partners. This blend of traditional underwriting expertise and on-chain architecture ensures institutional-grade standards while embracing next-generation accessibility.
About Members Capital Management Founded in 2024, Members Capital Management (“MembersCap”) is a licensed investment manager regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority, bridging institutional finance and blockchain infrastructure. Backed by leading blockchain protocols including Cardano, Aptos, and Solana, and supported by institutional infrastructure from Archax, Coinbase, Apex Group and Envelop Risk, MembersCap delivers a new institutional blueprint: tokenised participation to the global reinsurance market, an asset class traditionally closed to most investors.

Overview of Report Findings
Increasing Adoption of IoT Devices: 
The Internet of Things (IoT) describes an extensive broad network of interconnected devices along with technologies that enable communication between these devices and the cloud. Recently, there has been a huge surge in the adoption of IoT technologies due to advancements in mobile and wireless connectivity technologies, and a gradual drop in the cost of sensors and other components. Several industries are using IoT to improve efficiency and reduce the costs of their operations.
According to Finance Online, there were approximately 14.76 billion connected IoT devices as of November 2023, and this figure is expected to rise to ~25.44 billion by 2030. As per a forecast by IoT Analytics, 75% of the total devices in use would be IoT by 2030. Furthermore, FinleyUSA estimated the global IoT spending at US$ 1.1 trillion in 2023. The use of digital twins is increasing with the surging adoption of IoT. Digital twins require a continuous flow of data to accurately replicate their physical counterparts. IoT devices can fulfill this requirement with built-in sensors. These sensors facilitate real-time data collection from the environment, human interactions, or objects’ functions.
Digital twins rely on IoT sensor data to gather information from the real-world object to project it to create the digital-world object. The insights derived from these data allow organizations to react quickly to improve operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, and production quality, among others. As IoT devices transmit data, digital twins update the data in real time, which ensures that the virtual model is in sync with the physical entity. By leveraging IoT, a digital twin can represent a complex piece of equipment such as a wind turbine and processes such as customer activities in a retail shop. Thus, the increasing adoption of IoT devices drives the digital twin market.
Surging Emphasis on Predictive Maintenance:
Predictive maintenance is perceived as the most advanced means to manage maintenance within manufacturing plants. This maintenance approach is enabled by the implementation of technologies such as AI, ML, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Big Data to monitor equipment and check for part failure. Predictive maintenance helps save maintenance costs by selectively detecting the parts that need attention. It also guides organizations to make small repairs in a timely manner, which aids the extended lifecycle of equipment and helps reduce downtime.
A targeted maintenance approach enabled by predictive maintenance reduces unnecessary inspections and repairs and facilitates early intervention to prevent serious and complex problems down the line. Due to such benefits, predictive maintenance has increasingly been used in economically critical industries, such as manufacturing and automotive, in recent years. According to the Department of Energy, maintenance teams from different organizations expect an upsurge of 25% in production outcomes after the implementation of a predictive maintenance strategy and software. Thus, a growing focus on predictive maintenance bolsters the digital twin market.
