Fujitsu and The University of Osaka develop new technologies for chemical material energy calculations on early-FTQC quantum computers JCN Newswire

Fujitsu and The University of Osaka develop new technologies for chemical material energy calculations on early-FTQC quantum computers

Kawasaki, Osaka, Japan, Mar 25, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited and the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology at The University of Osaka today announced the development of a new technology designed to accelerate the industrial application of quantum computers in the era of early fault-tolerant quantum computing (early-FTQC). By combining ver. 3 of the STAR architecture, a unique highly efficient phase rotation gate quantum computing architecture, with a novel molecular model optimization technique, researchers have significantly reduced computational resource requirements. This breakthrough will enable the energy calculations for chemical material design such as catalyst molecules, within a realistic timeframe using early-FTQC quantum computers. These kinds of calculations are currently not possible using current computers, and would take millennia even using previous versions of the STAR architecture. The technologies are expected to contribute to solving various societal challenges, including accelerating drug discovery, improving the efficiency of ammonia synthesis processes, and advancing carbon recycling technologies.BackgroundQuantum computing holds significant promise across a wide range of industries, including drug discovery, cryptography, and finance. However, current quantum systems are highly error-prone, and practical applications are generally believed to require quantum computers with millions of qubits.To improve error correction and accelerate practical application of quantum computing, Fujitsu and The University of Osaka established the STAR architecture ver. 1 on March 23, 2023, followed by ver. 2 on August 28, 2024. The latter, with advanced phase rotation gates, significantly expanded computational scale, enabling potential early-FTQC calculations of solid-state material properties like high-temperature superconductivity.However, accurately calculating complex molecular chemical energies for practical applications still required excessive resources, and prior methods were limited by insufficient computational power or impractical timeframes.Newly developed technologyThis joint research [1] has demonstrated that combining the following two technologies enables energy calculations for chemical materials with sufficient accuracy and within a practical timeframe:1. Development of the STAR architecture ver. 3STAR architecture ver. 1 and 2 previously demonstrated more efficient quantum computing with unique phase rotation gates over conventional T-gate FTQC architecturesVer. 3 improves computational accuracy by more than 10x compared to ver. 2 by integrating phase rotation gates with logical-T gatesThis advancement enables more complex molecular calculations with the same qubit count and lowers the error rate requirements for qubitsFigure 1: Comparison of universal gate sets in quantum computing architectures 2. Technology for molecular model optimization This molecular model optimization technology is designed for use with quantum computers implementing STAR architecture ver. 3 and is applied during the process of generating quantum circuits from molecular modelsThis technology refines existing methods, which reduce computational resources by decomposing molecular models into many terms and selectively applying two techniques—time evolution and random sampling—with different characteristics based on the importance of each termThe technique reshapes the molecular model while preserving approximation accuracy, redistributes term importance, and optimizes the balance between the two techniques. This minimizes the number of gates in quantum circuits for molecular energy calculations, achieving a substantial reduction of computation time compared to conventional methodsFigure 2: Principle of molecular model optimization To validate the effectiveness of these technologies, the researchers evaluated the number of qubits and computational time required for industrially applicable energy calculations for three distinct molecules: Cytochrome P450, an important oxidizing enzyme in drug discovery; Iron-sulfur clusters, catalytic proteins involved in ammonia synthesis and energy metabolism; and Ruthenium catalysts, a focus in synthetic chemistry. Accurate energy calculations for these molecules are currently infeasible with classical computers due to memory limitations. Even with the STAR architecture ver. 2, such computations would take several millennia and high precision calculations would be difficult to achieve due to the scale of the calculation. The results of this validation primarily demonstrate that the STAR architecture ver. 3 reduces the number of qubits necessary to perform the calculations to between 1/15 and 1/80 of conventional FTQC architectures. Furthermore, the partners confirmed that calculations are feasible on early-FTQC quantum computers even with a lowered physical error rate requirement for qubits, from the previous 0.01% to 0.10%.Figure 3: Number of qubits required for energy calculation of three molecules Moreover, the molecular model optimization technology shortened computation time by three orders of magnitude compared to not using the technology. Fujitsu and The University of Osaka confirmed that computation times could be significantly reduced to approximately 35 days with a qubit error rate of 0.10% and approximately 10 days with 0.01%. Further reduction in computation time is possible with future expected reductions in the physical error rates of quantum computers and the use of parallel computing with multiple quantum computers, making the achieved computation times sufficiently practical. Figure 4: Computational time required for energy calculation of three molecules Future plansFujitsu and The University of Osaka will continue to advance the STAR architecture and molecular model optimization technology, expanding the practical application range of quantum computers in the early-FTQC era. The partners aim to contribute to solving societal challenges by applying these technologies across various industrial fields, including drug discovery, new material development, and finance.(1) This research was supported by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), the Program on Open Innovation Platforms for Industry-academia Co-creation (COI-NEXT), "Quantum Software Research Hub" (JPMJPF2014); JST Moonshot Goal 6 "Realization of a fault-tolerant universal quantum computer that will revolutionize economy, industry, and security by 2050," R&D project "Research and Development of Theory and Software for Fault-tolerant Quantum Computers" (JPMJMS2061); MEXT Quantum Leap Flagship Program (MEXT Q-LEAP), and "Development of quantum software by intelligent quantum system design and its applications" (JPMXS0120319794) Related LinksCenter for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology at The University of OsakaSTAR Architecture pageFujitsu QuantumFujitsu Small Research LabFujitsu and Osaka University* develop new quantum computing architecture, accelerating progress toward practical application of quantum computers Fujitsu and Osaka University* accelerate progress toward practical quantum computing by significantly increasing computing scale through error impact reduction in quantum computing architecture* As of April 2025, the official English name for Osaka University is "The University of Osaka."Press Conference MaterialsHeld on March 25, 2026Presentation Material: Fujitsu and The University of Osaka develop new technologies for chemical material energy calculations on early-FTQC quantum computersAbout FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.

‘Perbicaraan pembunuhan korporat’ — Hakim minta Anthropic dan Jabatan Kriegs (Tentera) menyelesaikan perselisihan berkaitan risiko rantaian bekalan

(SeaPRwire) - Peguam bagi Jabatan Perang dan Anthropic berbalah di mahkamah persekutuan California pada hari Selasa berkenaan cabaran Anthropic terhadap Pentagon yang melabelkannya sebagai risiko rantaian bekalan kepada keselamatan negara dan melarang semua kontraktor kerajaan daripada menggunakan alat AI syarikat yang meluas. Kes ini—yang melibatkan kejadian pertama dalam sejarah di mana Pentagon, kini dinamakan semula sebagai Jabatan Perang (DOW), melabelkan sebuah perniagaan yang diketuai Amerika Syarikat sebagai risiko rantaian bekalan kepada keselamatan negara—berpunca daripada rundingan kontrak yang meningkat dengan cepat. DOW ingin menambah klausul "semua penggunaan yang sah" secara menyeluruh kepada kontraknya dengan syarikat AI supaya tentera boleh menggunakan alat Claude milik Anthropic untuk sebarang tujuan yang sah. Anthropic menolak tentera menggunakan Claude untuk peperangan autonomi yang mematikan dan pemantauan besar-besaran terhadap rakyat Amerika. Anthropic, di bawah pimpinan pengasas Dario Amodei, berkata ia belum menguji penggunaan tersebut secara menyeluruh dan tidak percaya ia berfungsi dengan selamat. DOW mendakwa garis panduan tersebut tidak boleh diterima dan komander tentera memerlukan ruang untuk membuat keputusan mengenai misi. Pada 27 Feb, Presiden Trump menyiarkan di Truth Social mengarahkan "SETIAP" agensi persekutuan untuk "BERHENTI SEGERA" semua penggunaan alat Anthropic. Pada hari yang sama dalam siaran di X, Setiausaha Perang Pete Hegseth melabelkan Anthropic sebagai "risiko rantaian bekalan" dan berkata "tiada kontraktor, pembekal, atau rakan kongsi yang berniaga dengan tentera Amerika Syarikat boleh menjalankan sebarang aktiviti komersial dengan Anthropic." Label risiko ini biasanya dikhaskan untuk negara bangsa, musuh asing, dan ancaman lain. Anthropic memfailkan sam samuan pada 9 Mac, mendakwa kerajaan "membalas dendam terhadapnya" kerana menyuarakan pandangannya mengenai garis panduan keselamatan dan telah melanggar Pindaan Pertama dalam berbuat demikian. Ia juga mendakwa kerajaan melanggar proses yang digariskan dalam Akta Prosedur Pentadbiran dan hak proses yang sah Pindaan Kelima. Kerajaan berkata tindakan pentadbiran itu adalah respons terhadap penolakan Anthropic untuk melaksanakan terma-terma tersebut dalam kontrak semasa rundingan dan berhujah bahawa kebebasan bersuara bukanlah isu dalam kes ini. Timbalan Peguam Kanan Negara Eric Hamilton berkata kerajaan mempunyai kuasa yang tidak terhad untuk menentukan syarikat mana yang akan diurusniagakan. Hamilton berkata tingkah laku Anthropic telah menimbulkan kebimbangan bahawa kemas kini perisian masa depan boleh digunakan sebagai "butang mati" dalam operasi ketenteraan. Hakim Daerah Rita F. Lin bersikap skeptikal dan dalam kenyataan pembukaannya menggambarkan kes ini sebagai "perbahasan dasar awam yang menarik" mengenai kedudukan Anthropic berbanding keperluan ketenteraan kerajaan, tetapi berkata peranannya bukan untuk "memutuskan siapa yang betul dalam perbahasan itu." Sebaliknya, Lin berkata soalan sebenar yang perlu diputuskan oleh mahkamah adalah sama ada kerajaan "melanggar undang-undang" apabila ia melangkaui daripada sekadar tidak menggunakan perkhidmatan AI Anthropic dan mencari penjual AI yang lebih dibenarkan untuk bekerjasama. "Selepas Anthropic mendedahkan pertikaian kontrak ini kepada umum, defendan nampaknya mempunyai reaksi yang agak besar terhadap perkara itu," kata Lin. Reaksi tersebut termasuk melarang Anthropic daripada mendapatkan kontrak kerajaan—termasuk mengecualikan entiti lain seperti National Endowment for the Arts daripada menggunakannya untuk mereka bentuk laman web; arahan Hegseth bahawa sesiapa yang ingin berniaga dengan tentera Amerika Syarikat mesti memutuskan hubungan komersial mereka dengan Anthropic; dan, melabelkan Anthropic sebagai risiko rantaian bekalan. "Yang membimbangkan saya mengenai reaksi ini adalah bahawa ia nampaknya tidak benar-benar disesuaikan dengan kebimbangan keselamatan negara yang dinyatakan," kata Lin. Jika kebimbangan itu adalah mengenai rantaian perintah, DOW boleh sahaja berhenti menggunakan Claude dan teruskan jalan mereka, katanya. "Salah satu keterangan amicus menggunakan istilah percubaan pembunuhan korporat," tambahnya. "Saya tidak tahu jika ia pembunuhan, tetapi ia kelihatan seperti percubaan untuk melumpuhkan Anthropic. Dan khususnya kebimbangan saya adalah sama ada Anthropic sedang dihukum kerana mengkritik kedudukan kontrak kerajaan dalam akhbar." Keterangan amicus, atau kawan mahkamah, dalam kes ini telah menarik pelbagai suara termasuk daripada Microsoft, pegawai tentera bersara, dan jurutera serta penyelidik dari OpenAI dan Google. Hampir semua menyokong kedudukan Anthropic yang mencari injunksi terhadap pelabelan risiko rantaian bekalan tersebut. Keterangan yang dirujuk oleh Lin datang daripada pelabur dan "Freedom Economy Business Association." Keterangan itu merujuk kepada siaran X yang ditulis oleh Dean Ball, penasihat dasar kanan bekas Trump untuk AI dan teknologi baharu. "Nvidia, Amazon, Google terpaksa melucutkan pelaburan daripada Anthropic jika Hegseth mendapat apa yang diinginkannya," tulis Ball. "Ini semata-mata percubaan pembunuhan korporat. Saya tidak mungkin mengesyorkan pelaburan dalam AI Amerika kepada mana-mana pelabur; saya tidak mungkin mengesyorkan penubuhan syarikat AI di Amerika Syarikat." American Federation of Government Employees, sebuah kesatuan 800,000 pekerja persekutuan, berkata dalam keterangan amicusnya bahawa pentadbiran Trump mempunyai corak menggunakan kebimbangan keselamatan negara sebagai alasan untuk membalas dendam terhadap kebebasan bersuara. Microsoft menulis bahawa larangan terhadap Anthropic akan membahayakan perniagaannya sendiri, dan boleh mengurangkan pelaburan industri pertahanan masa depan dan penglibatan dengan AI. Keterangan daripada Human Rights and Technology Justice Organization tidak mengambil kedudukan siapa yang harus menang di mahkamah, tetapi berhujah menentang AI yang dimiliterikan secara umum, dan menyatakan bahawa penggunaannya boleh membawa kepada risiko hak asasi manusia yang bencana. Lin berkata dia akan mengeluarkan pendapat pada minggu ini. Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Pemasangan ICE di lapangan terbang adalah ‘ujian percubaan’ untuk pilihan raya 2026 – mantan strategis Trump kewangan

Pemasangan ICE di lapangan terbang adalah ‘ujian percubaan’ untuk pilihan raya 2026 – mantan strategis Trump

(SeaPRwire) - Menempatkan pegawai imigrasi di tempat mengundi akan menghalang migran haram "membatalkan" undi warganegara, Steve Bannon mendakwa Ejen-ejen Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) yang membantu di lapangan terbang AS harus dianggap sebagai "uji coba" untuk peranan yang lebih luas dalam pilihan raya 2026, Steve Bannon, seorang bekas strategis White House dan tokoh MAGA terkemuka, berkata. Ejen-ejen ICE telah mula membantu Transportation Security Administration (TSA) di lapangan terbang seluruh AS, selepas penutupan Department of Homeland Security (DHS) menyebabkan kekurangan kakitangan dan barisan keselamatan yang panjang di pusat pemeriksaan. Semasa bercakap dalam podcast War Roomnya pada hari Isnin, Bannon memberitahu peguam konservatif Mike Davis bahawa penempatan di lapangan terbang boleh digunakan "sebagai uji coba, sebagai kes ujian untuk benar-benar menyempurnakan penglibatan ICE dalam pilihan raya pertengahan 2026." Davis menjawab bahawa ejen-ejen ICE harus "berada di tempat mengundi," dengan menegaskan bahawa ia adalah kesalahan persekutuan untuk pendatang haram mengundi dalam pertandingan persekutuan. "Jika anda warganegara Amerika, anda harus gembira bahawa ICE berada di sana, kerana anda tidak akan mempunyai orang asing haram membatalkan undi anda," katanya. Bannon menggambarkan penempatan ICE di lapangan terbang sebagai "langkah catur 5D yang lain daripada President Trump," dengan hujah bahawa ejen-ejen "dilatih untuk, tunggu, memeriksa ID." Pada hari Isnin, unit Enforcement and Removal Operations dan Homeland Security Investigations ICE dilaporkan mula menyokong kakitangan TSA di beberapa lapangan terbang. White House border czar Tom Homan, yang mengawasi operasi tersebut, berkata pegawai imigrasi tidak akan memeriksa penumpang tetapi akan mengendalikan lorong masuk dan keluar untuk membebaskan kakitangan TSA. TSA dan ICE adalah sebahagian daripada DHS, tetapi penguatkuasaan imigrasi telah dilindungi daripada jurang pembiayaan oleh "rang undang-undang yang besar dan indah" Trump, pakej perbelanjaan 2025 yang memperuntukkan kira-kira $75 bilion kepada ICE sehingga 2029. Lebih 400 ejen TSA dilaporkan berhenti sejak penutupan separa bermula. Democrats di Congress telah memberi tumpuan kepada ICE selepas ejen-ejennya menembak mati dua warganegara AS di Minnesota pada Januari, yang dikatakan cuba menghalang sekatan imigrasi besar-besaran di negeri tersebut. Democrats telah berbulan-bulan menuntut agar pemeriksaan baru ke atas ejen-ejen ICE diperkenalkan, seperti keperluan memakai pengenalan, kamera badan, dan larangan topeng muka. Trump telah memberitahu media AS bahawa ICE akan membantu TSA "selama yang diperlukan" dan bahawa beliau akan mempertimbangkan penempatan National Guard jika perlu.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Israel akan men occupy selatan Lebanon – Menteri Pertahanan kewangan

Israel akan men occupy selatan Lebanon – Menteri Pertahanan

(SeaPRwire) - “Ratusan ribu” orang akan dilarang kembali ke rumah mereka sehingga ancaman Hezbollah dihapuskan, kata Israel Katz Tentera Israel akan menduduki sebahagian Lebanon selatan untuk menangani kehadiran militan Hezbollah di kawasan itu, kata Menteri Pertahanan Israel Katz. Usaha ini akan melibatkan pemindahan ratusan ribu orang dan pemusnahan infrastruktur awam, tambahnya. Israel memulakan kempen tentera terhadap Hezbollah pada awal Mac selepas militan berpusat di Lebanon melancarkan gelombang serangan ke atas negara Yahudi. Serangan itu adalah balasan untuk pembunuhan Pemimpin Tertinggi Iran Ali Khamenei dalam kempen bersama US-Israel terhadap Iran yang dilancarkan pada 28 Februari. Menurut Katz, Angkatan Pertahanan Israel (IDF) akan “mengawal jambatan yang tinggal dan zon keselamatan sehingga ke Litani” – sebuah sungai 30 hingga 40 kilometer di utara sempadan selatan Lebanon dengan Israel. “Ratusan ribu penduduk Lebanon selatan yang mengungsi ke utara tidak akan kembali ke selatan Sungai Litani sehingga keselamatan untuk penduduk utara dipastikan,” kata menteri itu pada hari Selasa semasa mesyuarat dengan pegawai tinggi. “Prinsipnya jelas: Di mana terdapat keganasan dan peluru berpandu, tidak akan ada rumah dan tidak ada penduduk, dan IDF akan berada di dalam.” Semua bangunan berhampiran sempadan Israel akan dibersihkan dan dirobohkan, kata menteri itu, membandingkan taktik Jerusalem Barat di Lebanon selatan dengan yang digunakan di Gaza semasa konflik baru-baru ini antara Israel dan militan Hamas. Pengumuman Katz dibuat hanya sehari selepas ahli kabinet lain, Menteri Kewangan Bezalel Smotrich menyeru pengambilalihan secara langsung Lebanon selatan sehingga ke Sungai Litani. Hezbollah menggambarkan rancangan Israel sebagai ancaman “eksistensial” dan berkata ia “tidak mempunyai pilihan” selain bertempur melawan “agresi ini.” Beirut berkata ia menjangkakan negara asing untuk menekan Jerusalem Barat untuk menghentikan kempennya. Presiden Perancis Emmanuel Macron baru-baru ini mengecam serangan Israel dengan memanggilnya “tidak dapat diterima” dan berhujah bahawa pendekatan serupa telah tidak berkesan pada masa lalu. Israel telah melancarkan kempen tentera terhadap Hezbollah pada pelbagai kesempatan sejak 1978 dan menduduki Lebanon selatan antara 1982 dan 2000.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Agen ICE boleh memperoleh gaji dua kali ganda daripada pekerja TSA—dan ahli ekonomi memberi amaran bahawa gajinya lebih ‘shutdown proof’ daripada pekerjaan kerajaan lain

(SeaPRwire) - Agen Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) kini menjalankan tugas pekerja Transportation Security Administration (TSA), tetapi satu perbezaan besar ialah mereka dibayar untuk itu. Penghentian operasi kerajaan separa, yang memasuki hari ke-44, telah menyebabkan lebih daripada 50,000 pegawai TSA tanpa gaji, mengakibatkan lebih daripada 450 pekerja berhenti dan ribuan orang mengambil cuti tidak hadir ke kerja, menurut data Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Presiden Donald Trump mengarahkan agen ICE ke lapangan terbang AS untuk menjaga pintu keluar dan memeriksa kad pengenalan supaya agen TSA dapat menjalankan imbasan keselamatan dengan lebih cepat di pusat pemeriksaan. Trump berkata kakitangan ICE boleh menjalankan pemeriksaan imigresen dan penahanan, walaupun itu bukan tujuan utama mereka. Agen ICE ini akan terus menerima gaji, walaupun pegawai TSA tidak menerima pendapatan selama lima minggu, dan perbezaan ini telah menyoroti perbezaan gaji antara kedua-dua kumpulan yang menjalankan tugas serupa. Menurut TSA Career, laman web bukan kerajaan, gaji permulaan untuk agen TSA ialah $34,454, dengan purata gaji pegawai antara $46,000 hingga $55,000. Pekerja TSA yang menerima gaji tertinggi memperoleh sekitar $163,000. Sementara itu, pegawai deportasi dibayar antara $51,632 dan $84,277, menurut iklan pekerjaan di laman web kerajaan. Agen ICE juga layak untuk bonus penandatanganan $50,000, yang selalunya diberikan dalam increment $10,000 setiap tahun, menjadikan jumlah gaji hampir dua kali ganda gaji pegawai TSA. American Federation of Government Employees, kesatuan terbesar yang mewakili pekerja federal dan satu-satunya yang mewakili pekerja TSA, mendakwa agen ICE tidak layak untuk menggantikan dan bekerja bersama pegawai TSA di lapangan terbang kerana mereka kekurangan latihan yang sesuai. Everett Kelley, presiden kesatuan itu, menuntut agar agen TSA dibayar, bukannya digantikan oleh pekerja kerajaan lain. “Ahli kami di TSA telah hadir setiap hari, tanpa gaji, kerana mereka percaya pada misi untuk menjaga keselamatan orang awam yang terbang,” kata Kelley dalam kenyataan pada hari Ahad. “Mereka berhak dibayar, bukan digantikan oleh agen bersenjata yang tidak terlatih dan telah menunjukkan betapa berbahayanya mereka.” Mengapa agen ICE dibayar manakala agen TSA tidak? Sebab di sebalik mengapa agen ICE terus dibayar manakala agen TSA bekerja tanpa gaji terletak pada sumber pembiayaan masing-masing kedua-dua agensi ini. Walaupun kedua-duanya berada di bawah naungan DHS, ICE menerima sebahagian daripada pembiayaannya daripada One Big Beautiful Bill Act Trump, yang menyuntik ICE dengan sekitar $75 bilion selama lima tahun. TSA dibiayai melalui DHS, yang kerajaan berhenti membiayai pada bulan Februari kerana Demokrat menuntut reformasi ke atas ICE selepas penembakan maut dua warganegara AS di Minneapolis pada bulan Januari. Pada hari Selasa, Senat hampir menyelesaikan cadangan yang akan membiayai sebahagian besar DHS, termasuk memberikan gaji kepada agen TSA. Kembalinya pembiayaan akan mengecualikan operasi ICE. Think tank libertarian Cato Institute, menyebut pembiayaan di bawah One Big Beautiful Bill Act sebagai “shutdown proof” dalam laporan Februari, dengan argumen bahawa Republikan “menyela sistem semakan dan imbangan” dengan mengalihkan pembiayaan untuk penguatkuasaan imigresen dan perbelanjaan pertahanan keluar dari peruntukan biasa, menyebabkan kurang pengawasan dan partisipasi yang lebih besar dalam proses belanjawan. Tetapi pecahan antara mereka yang dibayar dan yang tidak semasa penghentian operasi kerajaan adalah kegagalan struktur belanjawan yang melampaui pentadbiran tertentu, menurut Linda Bilmes, pakar kewangan awam dan pensyarah senior di Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. Keputusan siapa yang dianggap penting dan tidak penting, sebagai contoh, bergantung pada kakitangan jabatan, manakala peruntukan gaji boleh dipengaruhi oleh ketinggalan belanjawan kongres, yang berlaku beberapa kali setahun. “Terdapat disfungsi yang meliputi keseluruhan proses ini,” kata Bilmes kepada semasa penghentian operasi kerajaan pada Oktober 2025. (Semasa penghentian ini, pegawai penguatkuasaan undang-undang termasuk agen ICE dan TSA menerima “super checks” serta gaji lembur). “Setiap kali anda memasuki situasi seperti ini—yang secara purata berlaku empat kali setahun selama empat hingga lima tahun terakhir—terdapat keputusan sewenang-wenangnya tentang siapa yang akhirnya dibayar untuk kerja mereka, siapa yang akhirnya bekerja, siapa yang akhirnya diberi cuti tanpa gaji. “Keputusan sewenang-wenangnya ini hampir menjadi sifat semula jadi dalam disfungsi ini—satu ciri serta satu kelemahan,” tambahnya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Rancangan satelit militer Jerman menakuti EU – Reuters kewangan

Rancangan satelit militer Jerman menakuti EU – Reuters

(SeaPRwire) - Langkah Berlin untuk mewujudkan sistem kendiri ini hadir di tengah-tengah peningkatan pertahanan yang lebih luas dan perpecahan yang semakin mendalam dalam blok tersebut Usaha Jerman untuk mewujudkan rangkaian satelit tentera kendiri, yang bebas daripada program selari EU, telah membimbangkan beberapa penggubal undang-undang di Brussels, yang memberi amaran bahawa langkah itu berisiko melemahkan blok tersebut, menurut Reuters. Rancangan ini hadir di tengah-tengah kempen ketenteraan yang lebih luas oleh Jerman dan EU, yang digambarkan oleh pegawai Barat sebagai tindak balas terhadap ancaman yang didakwa daripada Rusia, satu dakwaan yang disifatkan oleh Moscow sebagai “karut.” Menteri Pertahanan Jerman, Boris Pistorius, berkata pada bulan September bahawa Berlin akan melabur €35 bilion (lebih $41 bilion) dalam teknologi angkasa lepas tentera sepanjang lima tahun akan datang, dengan memetik pelbagai risiko, termasuk di orbit. Di bawah cadangan yang pertama kali dilaporkan pada bulan Januari, pengeluar senjata Rheinmetall, pembuat satelit OHB, dan Airbus sedang bekerjasama dalam satu gugusan yang terdiri daripada kira-kira 100 satelit orbit rendah Bumi yang dikhaskan secara eksklusif untuk komunikasi tentera. Sistem ini akan menggunakan teknologi yang serupa dengan Starshield milik SpaceX, iaitu rangkaian kerajaan yang disepadukan dengan Starlink. Sementara itu, EU sedang membangunkan IRIS2, iaitu gugusan satelit seluruh blok yang terdiri daripada kira-kira 290 satelit yang direka untuk menyediakan ketersambungan bagi kerajaan, tentera, dan pengguna komersial. Inisiatif ini telah dibentangkan sebagai alternatif Eropah kepada Starlink dan Starshield, yang bertujuan untuk mengurangkan pergantungan kepada pembekal bukan Eropah. “Jika Jerman kini membina seni bina yang bersifat nasional semata-mata dan tidak disepadukan ke dalam IRIS2, terdapat risiko untuk melemahkan struktur Eropah,” kata Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, pengerusi jawatankuasa keselamatan dan pertahanan Parlimen Eropah, seperti yang dipetik oleh Reuters. Walau bagaimanapun, jurucakap kerajaan Jerman memberitahu Reuters bahawa Berlin melihat IRIS2 sebagai sesuatu yang berpotensi untuk “melengkapi” inisiatif nasional, sambil menambah bahawa sistem yang dicadangkan itu disesuaikan dengan keperluan khusus tentera negara tersebut. Perkembangan ini berlaku ketika perpecahan terus berlarutan dalam EU berhubung isu pertahanan, perdagangan, dan hubungan dengan Washington. Canselor Jerman, Friedrich Merz, yang pada mulanya dilihat sebagai tokoh pro-Eropah, semakin menekankan kepentingan nasional berikutan perubahan dalam dasar AS di bawah Presiden Donald Trump. Setiausaha Agung NATO, Mark Rutte, telah menggesa negara-negara anggota untuk mengamalkan “pemikiran masa perang” dan meningkatkan perbelanjaan ketenteraan. Moscow telah berulang kali memberi amaran bahawa ketenteraan angkasa lepas berisiko mengubahnya menjadi arena konfrontasi yang baharu.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Jutawan Larry Fink berkata anda salah menganggap bahawa AI mencuri pekerjaan anda adalah masalah besar – isu sebenar adalah apa yang teknologi ini lakukan untuk golongannya

(SeaPRwire) - Sebuah bayangan menghantui dunia kerja kolar putih: bayangan kehilangan pekerjaan kolar putih. Tetapi salah seorang "Tuan Alam Semesta" Wall Street, bilionair pengurusan aset Larry Fink melihat hantu lain dalam mesin itu. Menulis dalam surat tahunannya kepada pemegang saham BlackRock, CEO itu mengenal pasti ancaman yang jauh lebih besar daripada kemajuan teknologi kepada S&P 500. Sesuai dengan lelaki yang memainkan peranan utama dalam revolusi dana indeks, fikirannya tertumpu pada aset dan siapa yang memilikinya—atau tidak. Ketidaksamaan dan kekayaan keseluruhan adalah ancaman sebenar. Dengan nilai aset melonjak dalam beberapa dekad kebelakangan ini sementara gaji kebanyakannya tidak berkembang, ketidaksamaan kekayaan hanya akan menjadi lebih teruk, amaran Fink, yang kerap membangkitkan isu ini akhir-akhir ini. AI mengancam untuk memusatkan kekayaan bukan sahaja kepada mereka yang memiliki aset, jelasnya, tetapi juga kepada mereka yang menggunakan teknologi ini. "Sebahagian besar kekayaan telah mengalir kepada orang yang memiliki aset, bukan kepada orang yang memperoleh sebahagian besar wang mereka dengan bekerja," tulis Fink dalam surat tahunannya kepada pemegang saham pada hari Isnin. "Kini AI mengancam untuk mengulangi corak itu pada skala yang lebih besar—memusatkan kekayaan di kalangan syarikat dan pelabur yang berada dalam kedudukan untuk menangkapnya." Penyelidikan daripada Federal Reserve mendapati golongan berada dan tidak berada di Amerika jarang sekali berjauhan sejauh ini. Pada suku ketiga tahun lepas, jurang itu adalah yang terlebar sejak 1989, apabila Fed mula menjejaki perbezaan kekayaan isi rumah. 1% teratas memegang 31.7% kekayaan AS, setara dengan semua kekayaan yang dimiliki oleh 90% terbawah. Dengan kebanyakan kekayaan berpendapatan tinggi dipegang dalam aset dari saham hingga hartanah, ia menjadi semakin tidak boleh diakses oleh segmen rakyat Amerika yang semakin berkembang. Dan dengan pertumbuhan pesat serta penerimaan korporat terhadap kecerdasan buatan, trend itu berisiko untuk memecut, menurut Fink. Pulangan tidak sekata Produktiviti didorong AI berpotensi meningkatkan gaji secara keseluruhan, tetapi kebanyakan bukti setakat ini mencadangkan penerimaan AI telah meningkatkan gaji dalam kumpulan pekerjaan yang agak kecil, sementara kegembiraan di sekitar teknologi itu telah meningkatkan pasaran saham. Fink menulis bahawa sejak 1989, gaji median di AS telah ketinggalan berbanding pulangan pasaran saham dengan faktor 15. Kini, AI nampaknya paling berkemungkinan memanjangkan trend itu berbanding membalikkannya—sekurang-kurangnya dalam jangka pendek. Bagi orang yang tidak terdedah secara langsung kepada manfaatnya, jurang kekayaan mungkin tidak lama lagi kelihatan jauh lebih lebar. "Apabila permodalan pasaran meningkat tetapi pemilikan kekal sempit, kemakmuran boleh dirasakan semakin jauh bagi mereka yang berada di luar," tulis Fink. "Di sinilah sebahagian besar kebimbangan ekonomi hari ini berasal: perasaan lebih mendalam bahawa kapitalisme berfungsi—hanya tidak untuk cukup ramai orang." Dalam suratnya, Fink menggambarkan AI sebagai teknologi paling penting sekurang-kurangnya sejak komputer, namun tetap berisiko meningkatkan ketidaksamaan dengan ketara. Beliau memberi amaran bahawa AI boleh memusatkan kekayaan besar terutamanya di kalangan segelintir syarikat dan pelabur yang paling berada dalam kedudukan untuk menangkap nilainya. Ia boleh mempercepatkan "hasil berbentuk K" untuk ekonomi, tambahnya, di mana firma dan pelabur dengan akses lebih besar kepada modal mendapat manfaat daripada pertumbuhan lebih pantas, sementara mereka yang kurang terdedah kepada penilaian aset yang meningkat tidak berkembang, mendorong ketidaksamaan lebih jauh lagi. "Teknologi transformatif mencipta nilai yang besar—dan sebahagian besar nilai itu terkumpul kepada syarikat yang membina dan menggunakannya, dan kepada pelabur yang memilikinya," tulisnya. "Syarikat-syarikat yang mempunyai data, infrastruktur, dan modal untuk menggunakan AI pada skala besar berada dalam kedudukan untuk mendapat manfaat secara tidak seimbang." Data setakat ini nampaknya menyokong hujah Fink. AS semakin terperangkap dalam ekonomi yang disokong oleh pengguna kaya, menurut ketua ahli ekonomi Moody's Mark Zandi. Perbelanjaan daripada golongan berpendapatan tinggi telah melonjak dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan, sementara isi rumah berpendapatan rendah dan sederhana melihat perbelanjaan budi bicara mereka perlahan atau malah mendatar. Trend itu menjadi lebih membimbangkan dengan penggunaan teknologi baru ini, kerana keuntungan didorong AI di pasaran saham adalah sebahagian besar keyakinan golongan berpendapatan tinggi, kata CEO Oxford Economics Innes McFee baru-baru ini kepada Fortune. Walaupun teknologi itu telah membawa kepada peningkatan 7% dalam kekayaan AS, manfaat itu hampir keseluruhannya terhad kepada isi rumah berpendapatan tinggi, katanya. Walaupun AI "sememangnya" boleh menyamakan ketidaksamaan kekayaan pada akhirnya, ia lebih berkemungkinan mengekalkan bentuk K ekonomi AS sekurang-kurangnya sehingga 2035, kata McFee. Trend yang sama kelihatan dalam pekerjaan. Setakat ini, peningkatan produktiviti berkaitan AI kebanyakannya dikhaskan untuk pekerja yang tugasnya memerlukan kemahiran berkaitan AI, peranan yang boleh menjangkakan premium gaji setinggi 43%. Tetapi bagi kebanyakan pekerjaan, AI masih belum diterjemahkan kepada peningkatan produktiviti atau gaji yang ketara, dan mungkin sebenarnya membawa kepada beban kerja yang lebih besar untuk pekerja yang ditugaskan menguruskan AI. Penyamarata jangka panjang? Dalam jangka panjang, kecekapan didorong AI boleh membawa kepada gaji yang lebih tinggi dan pertumbuhan pekerjaan di kalangan profesion berpendapatan rendah dalam sektor seperti pertanian dan pembuatan, berpotensi mengurangkan ketidaksamaan di negara yang sangat bergantung pada sektor tersebut, menurut pemodelan tahun lepas oleh PwC. Dan sesetengah pakar, termasuk penganalisis di Urban Institute, telah memperjuangkan program pendapatan asas sejagat yang mengambil royalti daripada syarikat AI sebagai langkah untuk mengurangkan ketidaksamaan. Tetapi buat masa ini, mendapat manfaat daripada AI memerlukan bekerja dalam peranan yang memerlukan kemahiran AI atau melabur secara kewangan dalam kisah pertumbuhannya. Dengan hampir 40% rakyat Amerika tidak terdedah kepada pasaran saham langsung, sebahagian besar populasi boleh terperangkap di luar, hanya memerhati.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Everpure Expands Tech Talent Pipeline Through Strategic Partnership with Rewriting the Code SeaPRwire

Everpure Expands Tech Talent Pipeline Through Strategic Partnership with Rewriting the Code

NORTHAMPTON, MA – 22/03/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As the global technology sector faces increasing pressure to innovate while addressing talent shortages, companies are turning to more inclusive strategies to shape the workforce of the future. Everpure, through its social impact initiatives, is advancing this shift by building structured pathways for underrepresented women to access and thrive in technology careers. At the center of this effort is a growing partnership between Everpure and Rewriting the Code (RTC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting women in tech from diverse and historically excluded backgrounds. Together, they are addressing systemic gaps in representation, access, and early-career engagement—challenges that continue to limit both innovation and equity across the industry. The technology sector has long struggled with gender imbalance, particularly in technical roles. Limited access to opportunities, insufficient representation, and fragmented connections between academia and industry have contributed to a persistent gap. Everpure identified these challenges as critical barriers not only to social progress but also to sustainable business growth. To address these issues, Everpure, supported by the Pure Good Foundation, has implemented a multi-dimensional approach focused on experiential learning, mentorship, and financial investment. The initiative is designed to engage high-potential students early in their academic journeys, equipping them with the resources, networks, and confidence needed to transition into the workforce. RTC emerged as a strategic partner capable of bridging the gap between education and industry. What began as a modest volunteer effort has evolved into a comprehensive program that connects Everpure employees and executives with RTC members through conferences, mentorship programs, networking events, and career development initiatives. A defining feature of the collaboration is its emphasis on sustained engagement. Beyond providing funding, Everpure actively participates in RTC-led initiatives, hosting campus visits, contributing to executive panels, and facilitating mentorship opportunities tailored to students’ academic and career stages. This hands-on approach has enabled the company to build meaningful, long-term relationships with emerging talent. The impact of the partnership is evident in both qualitative and quantitative outcomes. Students gain exposure to real-world technology environments, including direct interaction with industry leaders and participation in major conferences. These experiences not only enhance technical understanding but also foster confidence and a stronger sense of belonging in a traditionally male-dominated field. Events such as Pure//Accelerate have become key platforms for experiential learning. Participants engage in keynote sessions, explore innovation showcases, and take part in structured mentoring discussions with senior executives. These interactions provide insights that extend beyond classroom learning, offering a clearer view of career pathways within the technology sector. For many participants, the experience is transformative. Students report increased confidence, expanded professional networks, and a deeper understanding of opportunities within the industry. At the same time, Everpure benefits from early access to a diverse pool of talent, strengthening its recruitment pipeline and enriching its organizational culture with new perspectives. The initiative also delivers value internally. Employees involved in mentorship and engagement activities gain exposure to emerging viewpoints on technology, including perspectives on artificial intelligence and workplace expectations from the next generation. This two-way exchange fosters a culture of continuous learning and innovation. Over time, relationships formed through the program often extend beyond formal events. Participants maintain ongoing connections with mentors and industry professionals, seeking guidance and exploring career opportunities. While direct hiring is not the primary objective, the partnership has naturally contributed to increased recruitment of women into internships and full-time roles. Looking ahead, Everpure and the Pure Good Foundation are exploring opportunities to expand the program’s global reach. With growing engagement in regions such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, and India, the partnership is positioned to scale its impact and further strengthen international talent pipelines. As organizations across industries reassess their approach to workforce development, Everpure’s collaboration with RTC highlights the potential of long-term, community-driven partnerships. By combining financial support, employee engagement, and strategic alignment, the initiative demonstrates how companies can play a meaningful role in shaping a more inclusive and future-ready technology workforce. Ultimately, the partnership reflects a broader commitment to breaking down barriers and creating equitable access to opportunity. As the program continues to evolve, both organizations remain focused on expanding its reach and deepening its impact—reinforcing the idea that meaningful change in the technology sector requires sustained collaboration and shared purpose.

Taruhan minyak $580 juta diletakkan saat saat sebelum kenyataan Trump tentang Iran – FT

(SeaPRwire) - Lonjakan dagangan yang sangat tertumpu dalam niaga hadapan Brent dan WTI boleh memberi isyarat kemungkinan adanya pengetahuan dalaman yang mencetuskan penjualan besar-besaran, menurut cadangan saluran berita tersebut. Pedagang minyak telah meletakkan pertaruhan bernilai lebih setengah bilion dolar beberapa minit sebelum Presiden AS Donald Trump mengumumkan perbincangan yang “produktif” dengan Iran pada hari Isnin, lapor Financial Times. Satu lonjakan aktiviti yang diikuti oleh kejatuhan harga yang mendadak telah menimbulkan persoalan mengenai kemungkinan adanya pengetahuan awal dalam kalangan peserta pasaran. Kira-kira 6,200 kontrak niaga hadapan Brent dan WTI bertukar tangan antara jam 6:49 pagi dan 6:50 pagi di New York – satu lonjakan selama seminit yang bernilai $580 juta, berdasarkan pengiraan FT menggunakan data Bloomberg. Jumlah dagangan dalam kedua-dua penanda aras – Brent dan US West Texas Intermediate – melonjak serentak, kira-kira 27 saat sebelum jam 6:50 pagi, manakala niaga hadapan S&P 500 melonjak sejurus selepas itu. Dagangan tersebut berlaku kira-kira 15 minit sebelum Trump menyatakan di Truth Social bahawa terdapat “perbualan produktif” dengan Tehran untuk menamatkan perang di Iran. Hantaran beliau pada jam 7:04 pagi mencetuskan penjualan mendadak dalam pasaran tenaga global, manakala niaga hadapan S&P 500 dan ekuiti Eropah meningkat apabila pelabur mengurangkan pertaruhan terhadap konflik yang berpanjangan. Tidak jelas siapa yang berada di sebalik dagangan tersebut, catat FT. “Sukar untuk membuktikan sebab dan akibat… tetapi anda perlu tertanya-tanya siapa yang begitu agresif menjual niaga hadapan pada ketika itu, 15 minit sebelum hantaran Trump,” kata seorang pakar strategi broker AS kepada saluran berita tersebut. Di bawah peraturan CME Group – bursa yang berpangkalan di Chicago yang menjadi tuan rumah dagangan niaga hadapan minyak mentah penanda aras Brent dan WTI – kedudukan pedagang besar mesti didedahkan setiap hari, walaupun identiti pedagang tertentu tidak tersedia secara umum dalam masa nyata. Lonjakan tertumpu selama seminit itu menonjol walaupun berbanding jumlah dagangan yang biasanya tinggi, yang lazimnya mencecah ratusan ribu kontrak sepanjang sesi penuh. Masa dagangan tersebut – dan siapa yang mungkin mendapat manfaat – menimbulkan persoalan, walaupun Rumah Putih menafikan bahawa mana-mana pegawai pentadbiran mendapat keuntungan secara haram daripada pengetahuan dalaman. “Satu-satunya fokus Presiden Trump dan pegawai pentadbiran Trump adalah melakukan apa yang terbaik untuk rakyat Amerika,” kata jurucakap Kush Desai, sambil menyifatkan sebarang cadangan mengenai pengambilan untung secara dalaman sebagai “tidak berasas dan tidak bertanggungjawab.” Speaker parlimen Iran, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, kemudiannya menafikan sebarang perbincangan dengan Washington, menyebabkan saham global jatuh dan pasaran tenaga meningkat. Beliau berkata “berita palsu” digunakan untuk memanipulasi pasaran minyak dan kewangan serta membantu Amerika Syarikat dan Israel “melarikan diri daripada kancah” yang mereka hadapi. Harga minyak melantun semula pada hari Selasa, dengan Brent melebihi $103 setong dan WTI menghampiri $91, memandangkan ketidaktentuan mengenai Iran mengekalkan pasaran dalam keadaan tidak menentu.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Baguio Green Group (Stock Code: 01397) Announces 2025 Annual Results, Profit surges 72% to HK$97 million, Hits historical high since listing

HONG KONG, Mar 24, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Baguio Green Group Limited (‘‘Baguio’’ or the ‘‘Group’’, Stock Code: 01397.HK) is pleased to announce its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the “Year”).During the Year, the Group’s revenue amounted to approximately HK$2,424.6 million, representing a decrease of approximately 6.9% as compared to the same period last year. Profit for the Year amounted to approximately HK$97.1 million, representing an increase of approximately 72.0% as compared to the same period last year. The Board recommends the payment of a final dividend for the Year at HK7.0 cents per share.Business Overview and ProspectsDuring the Year, revenue from cleaning services as the Group’s core business amounted to approximately HK$1,896.5 million, accounting for approximately 78.2% of the Group’s total revenue. The Group’s cleaning services cover various scenarios, including for Government streets, markets, police stations, fire stations, leisure venues, hospitals and clinics. In addition, the Group provides cleaning services for numerous different places such as universities, large exhibition centers, Hong Kong International Airport, housing estates and private institutions.During the Year, the Group successfully awarded a 3-year contract from the Marine Department of the Government for approximately HK$150 million for the provision of “Marine Refuse Cleansing and Disposal Services in the Eastern waters of Hong Kong”. This contract marks a significant milestone for Baguio, as it represents a strategic expansion of its service portfolio from land to sea, further strengthening its leading position in Hong Kong’s integrated environmental services market. Under the contract, Baguio delivers comprehensive marine refuse cleansing and ship refuse collection services in the Eastern waters of Hong Kong starting from 1 October 2025 including, but not limited to: Victoria Harbour, Central, Sheung Wan, Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, Cheung Sha Wan, Shau Kei Wan, Kwun Tong, Sai Kung, Tolo Harbour and Tai Po.

The gross profit margin of the waste management and recycling business increased from 11.6% for the same period last year to 15.0%, driving the gross profit of this business up by approximately 25.2% to approximately HK$41.9 million, mainly due to the Government’s proactive promotion of recycling and the substantial expansion of the network of recycling spots, including those for food waste, which facilitated public participation and effectively stimulated collection, and the contribution from the green technology business.The Group continued to provide Government-related waste collection services to five districts, serving a population of approximately 1.6 million.In terms of recycling, the Group is contracted by the Environmental Protection Department (“EPD”) of the Government to provide collection services for thousands of recycling spots (including plastics, glass bottles, metals, waste paper and food waste) across Hong Kong. During the Year, the Group provided collection services for recycling bins in public places and schools. Baguio also provides collection services for Recycling Stations of “GREEN@COMMUNITY”, recycling stores and smart recycling machines, and other institutions in Hong Kong.

Bagaimana CEOs Berhadapi Guncangan Tenaga Terbesar Sejarahnya

Dalam CEO Daily hari ini: Diane Brady melaporkan reaksi CEO tenaga terhadap perang di Iran. Berita utama: Kesan rantaian daripada pembantu AI Mark Zuckerberg. Pasaran: Bercampur-campur di peringkat global memandangkan ketidakpastian menyelubungi perang Iran. Tambahan: Semua berita dan perbualan santai daripada . (SeaPRwire) - Selamat pagi. Pemimpin tenaga dari seluruh dunia berada di Houston sekarang untuk perhimpunan tahunan CERAWeek, yang dianjurkan oleh S&P Global. Tema utama, sudah tentu, adalah penutupan berkesan Selat Hormuz, yang telah memutuskan 20% bekalan minyak mentah dan gas asli cecair dunia, sekali gus mewujudkan kejutan bekalan tenaga global yang paling hebat pernah berlaku. Seperti yang dilaporkan oleh Editor Tenaga , Jordan Blum dari Houston, CEO Chevron, Mike Wirth percaya harga minyak mungkin terlalu rendah. Seperti yang diberitahu oleh Wirth kepada para hadirin: “Terdapat manifestasi fizikal yang sangat nyata daripada penutupan Selat Hormuz yang sedang memberi kesan ke seluruh dunia melalui sistem yang saya rasa belum dinilai sepenuhnya.” Malah, negara-negara Asia yang terjejas teruk sedang berusaha untuk menyimpan stok dan menjimatkan tenaga melalui usaha bekerja dari rumah, penutupan sekolah, dan banyak lagi. Perang ini juga melumpuhkan bekalan helium dan baja, yang menjejaskan pembuat cip dan petani. (Saham dan juga Bitcoin meningkat pada hari Isnin susulan berita mengenai kemungkinan rundingan damai.) Sejumlah pemimpin Timur Tengah tidak berada di Houston minggu ini kerana konflik tersebut: CEO Saudi Aramco, Amin Nasser menarik diri manakala yang lain mengambil bahagian secara maya. Sheikh Nawaf Al-Sabah, CEO Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) milik kerajaan, dijadualkan untuk mengambil bahagian secara maya hari ini. Ahmed Al Jaber, menteri tenaga dan teknologi canggih UAE serta ketua Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (Adnoc), memberikan ucapan maya semalam di mana beliau berkata “menjadikan Selat Hormuz sebagai senjata bukanlah satu tindakan pencerobohan terhadap satu negara. Ia adalah keganasan ekonomi terhadap setiap negara.” Walaupun CEO AS mungkin tidak menghadapi kesan langsung dari segi bekalan tenaga, mereka perlu berhadapan dengan akibat lain. Saya bercakap mengenai perkara itu dengan para CEO pada majlis makan malam kami di New York minggu lalu, serta beberapa eksekutif yang dalam perjalanan ke CERAWeek. Ada yang secara senyap menyuarakan sentimen pemimpin politik yang mengatakan menghentikan Iran adalah perlu untuk kemakmuran serantau; yang lain meluahkan kemarahan terhadap kos yang dikenakan ke atas syarikat mereka akibat perang yang tidak mereka mulakan. Kesemuanya sedang menguruskan akibatnya, menyedari bahawa kesan buruknya mungkin berterusan lama selepas sebarang perjanjian damai dicapai. Seperti yang dinyatakan oleh seseorang: “Perang ini telah menyebabkan kerosakan yang berpanjangan kepada kawan dan lawan.” Pastikan anda mengikuti liputan Jordan mengenai berita yang keluar dari CERAWeek dan Timur Tengah.Hubungi CEO Daily melalui Diane Brady di diane.brady@.comArtikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Media Troopers Teams with Canadian Gaming Law Firm to Gear Up for Alberta iGaming Launch

(AsiaGameHub) - Leading digital marketing and customer acquisition firm Media Troopers has revealed it’s preparing to enter Alberta’s soon-to-launch regulated iGaming market through a partnership with Alon Segev, Managing Partner, and Ron Segev, founder of Canadian gaming and betting legal practice Segev LLP. Alberta is set to be Canada’s second province to regulate commercial online gambling, after Ontario did so in 2022. Last May, the province approved the iGaming Alberta Bill, which established a framework for operators to enter the market and created a new iGaming regulatory body—the Alberta iGaming Corporation. As part of its strategic entry into this new sector, Media Troopers has teamed up with Segev, which will advise the company on regulatory strategy, compliance requirements, and market readiness as Alberta finalizes its operational and licensing framework. “Alberta represents one of the most exciting emerging regulated markets in North America,” said Shmulik Segal, CEO of Media Troopers. “Working with Ron Segev and the team at Segev LLP ensures that our expansion into the province will be aligned with the evolving regulatory framework and positioned for long-term success.” Similar to Ontario’s competitive landscape, Media Troopers is committed to supporting licensed operators in Alberta through localized marketing channels, affiliate partnerships, and compliance-focused customer acquisition strategies. “Canada’s iGaming market continues to evolve rapidly,” Segal added. “Our goal is to be fully prepared to support operators entering Alberta from day one.” This article is provided by a third-party.
