BEIJING, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, Professor Sun Dong, attended a press conference on the 2026 World Internet Conference (WIC) Asia-Pacific Summit in Beijing this morning (March 17), together with the Secretary-General of the WIC, Mr Ren Xianliang, to announce that Hong Kong will once again host the Asia-Pacific Summit this year.

Following the debut of the WIC Asia-Pacific Summit hosted in Hong Kong last year, the city will once again collaborate with the WIC to stage the international Internet flagship event. Hosted by the WIC, organised by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government and co-organised by the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau (ITIB), the Summit will take place on April 13 and 14 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) under the theme “Digital and Intelligent Empowerment for Innovative Development – Jointly Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace”. The Summit is expected to attract government and business leaders, representatives of international organisations, and experts and scholars from the Mainland and overseas to gather in Hong Kong. Through in-depth discussions on global Internet frontier topics, the Summit aims to promote high-quality innovation and technology (I&T) development, strengthen regional digital collaboration, and jointly create new momentum and advantages for the development of the Asia-Pacific region.

Mr Ren said that the WIC will continue to organise the Summit in Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient, this year to explore AI development and governance. Not only does it reflect Hong Kong’s aspiration to promote Internet and I&T advancement, but it also aligns with its unique mission of bridging the Mainland and overseas as well as connecting the world.

Professor Sun expressed his gratitude to the WIC for designating Hong Kong to once again host this highly anticipated international Internet event. As a premier platform for global dialogue, the return of the WIC Asia-Pacific Summit to Hong Kong this year embodies not only an important measure in promoting digital development under the 15th Five-Year Plan but also the implementation of deepening the high-level opening up to the world. The HKSAR Government eagerly anticipates collaborating with the WIC again to transform the Asia-Pacific Summit into the most impactful regional I&T event, accelerating Hong Kong’s development as an international I&T centre and further promoting the high-quality development of I&T in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the country, the Asia-Pacific region, and globally. 

The 2026 Summit will feature a comprehensive agenda. Apart from the opening ceremony on the first day of the Summit, the main forum will introduce the WIC Distinguished Contributors Gala where various internationally renowned I&T dignitaries will be invited to share their outstanding contributions to spearheading global Internet development. This year’s Summit will also introduce a first-ever ministerial meeting, providing a premier platform for ministerial officials and representatives of international organisations from across the globe to engage in high-level exchanges and in-depth dialogue on topics such as how AI can empower high-quality economic growth.

The second day of the Summit will feature an expanded lineup of six sub-forums, convening internationally renowned speakers for insightful discussions on topics including “Innovation and Application of AI Agent”, “Digital Finance”, “AI Security and Governance”, “AI for Better Life”, “Digital and Intelligent Health”, and “Digital Transformation and Dissemination of Classical Texts”. These sub-forums will explore how I&T can forge new growth drivers for the economy and how international co-operation can promote the development of the digital economy. The Summit will also be complemented by a series of affiliated activities, including a government-enterprise dialogue, capacity-building events to be hosted by the WIC Digital Academy, and a new technology exhibition zone.

Alongside the Summit, Hong Kong will also stage its annual I&T mega event, the Business of Innovation and Technology Week (BIT Week), concurrently in April to present a series of exciting I&T activities.

RoboForex Launches Swap-Free Trading for All Clients

BELIZE CITY, Belize, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RoboForex, a financial broker, has announced the launch of swap-free trading for all its clients. The new feature represents a distinctive innovation in the forex industry and introduces a fundamentally different approach to overnight trading costs.

RoboForex Launches Swap-Free Trading for All Clients

RoboForex offers a comprehensive swap-free model, completely removing overnight fees (swaps). Crucially, this is achieved without introducing hidden costs, such as increased commissions or wider spreads, which are common among other market providers. By opening a swap-free account, RoboForex clients can run their strategies without incurring additional charges for holding positions overnight.

Enhancing the trader experience

The introduction of this feature is designed to lower entry barriers and create a more predictable cost structure for traders. By removing overnight swaps, RoboForex simplifies trading conditions and reduces cost-related uncertainty, particularly for those holding positions over longer periods.

In volatile market environments, where traders already navigate price fluctuations and risk exposure, eliminating overnight charges helps minimise additional cost pressure and supports a more focused trading experience. This can be particularly relevant when traders hold positions for extended periods during prolonged market trends, waiting for more favourable exit conditions.

“Following a successful test launch last year in several Latin American countries and strong positive feedback from clients, we decided to scale swap-free trading across all our markets,” said Douglas Abreu, LATAM Operations Director at RoboForex. “This step reflects our broader focus on simplifying trading conditions and making costs more transparent and predictable, giving traders more flexibility in managing longer-term positions.”

Key highlights of the swap-free accounts:

• Total transparency: no additional commissions or mark-ups are added to the spread in exchange for swap-free status
• Available to all RoboForex clients: swap-free trading is accessible on newly created accounts
• Broad instrument coverage: zero swaps apply for the most popular instruments, including metals and currencies

Building a low-barrier trading environment

The launch of swap-free trading aligns with RoboForex’s broader strategy of reducing cost-related barriers for clients. In addition to swap-free accounts, the company offers free withdrawals, allowing clients to withdraw funds without a commission up to three times per month. RoboForex also offers 0% commission on deposits, ensuring clients are not charged for funding their accounts.

By combining swap-free trading with transparent and cost-efficient funding and withdrawal conditions, RoboForex continues to develop a trading environment focused on market accessibility, clarity, and reduced structural costs for traders.

• Trevor Paglen’s work brings visibility to digitally invisible structures, drawing on sustained engagements with AI, computer vision, digital infrastructures, and expanded landscapes.
• The award is part of the LG Guggenheim Art and Technology Initiative, a five-year, multifaceted collaboration designed to research, honor, and promote artists working at the intersection of art and technology.

SEOUL, South Korea, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LG and Guggenheim New York proudly announce Trevor Paglen as the 2026 LG Guggenheim Award recipient. Paglen is the fourth artist to be recognized as part of the LG Guggenheim Art and Technology Initiative, a five-year, multifaceted collaboration designed to research, honor, and promote artists working at the intersection of art and technology. Selected by an international jury of leaders in contemporary art, Paglen will receive an unrestricted honorarium of $100,000 in celebration of his groundbreaking contributions to this field.

Paglen will deliver the lecture-performance “The Lizard People Are Here!” at Guggenheim New York on May 18. Please visit guggenheim.org/calendar/ for more information.

“Over the course of his career, Paglen has undertaken foundational investigations into the infrastructures of surveillance, artificial intelligence, data extraction, and state secrecy that shape contemporary life. By transforming opaque technological systems into perceptible forms, he cultivates public awareness and civic agency. His art invites us to confront the invisible architectures that govern our lives and to recognize our shared responsibility within them. In illuminating these often unseen forces, Paglen empowers audiences not only to see the world differently but also to imagine how it might be shaped differently,” said Naomi Beckwith, Deputy Director and Jennifer and David Stockman Chief Curator at Guggenheim New York.

“We’re living through a profound transformation in our relationship to images. Images, sensing systems, algorithms, and the infrastructures around them have become active participants in the world––shaping decisions, identities, cultures, and histories. As an artist, I’m interested in exploring new forms of vision and imagining alternative ways of seeing. I’m honored to receive this award from LG and the Guggenheim, and grateful for their commitment to artists working at the intersection of art, science, and technology,” said Paglen, 2026 LG Guggenheim Award recipient.

“We are honored to present the 2026 LG Guggenheim Award to Trevor Paglen, an artist whose work reflects the very questions we ask ourselves at LG. As we advance our AI capabilities, we recognize that true innovation demands transparency, accountability, and a commitment to the human-centered application of technology. By celebrating Trevor’s vision, LG reaffirms its dedication to building an AI future that is not only powerful but ethically grounded and deserving of human trust,” said Seol Park, Head of Brand at LG Corp.

Trevor Paglen (b. 1974, Camp Springs, Maryland; lives and works in New York) is an artist whose work brings visibility to digitally invisible structures, helping audiences better understand current technologies and their underlying logic. Drawing on sustained engagements with landscape renderings, advanced technologies, and the history of photography, he reveals how power, secrecy, and surveillance influence what we see––and what remains unseen––within digital systems.

Paglen’s work examines the formation and construction of digital images, investigating the evolving machinic apparatus of digitally constructed images. Through these inquiries, Paglen examines how these forms shape our understanding of reality. His practice spans photography, simulation, remote sensing, sculpture, writing, research, and engineering, all aimed at uncovering systems that often operate out of sight.

Paglen has presented solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (2019); Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Washington, DC (2018); Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt (2015); Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, Michigan State University, East Lansing (2015); Protocinema, Istanbul (2013); Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, the Netherlands (2013); and the Vienna Secession (2010). His work has also been included in group exhibitions at leading museums such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (2009, 2010, and 2018); Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid (2014); Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2011); and Tate Modern, London (2010), among many others.

In recognition of his work, Paglen received the MacArthur Fellowship in 2017 and the Electronic Frontier Foundation Award in 2014, honoring him as a groundbreaking investigative artist. His work is in the collections of the Guggenheim; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Cleveland Museum of Art; Dallas Museum of Art; FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais, Dunkirk, France; Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Metropolitan Museum of Art; Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge; Mudam Luxembourg, Luxembourg City; Museum of Modern Art, New York; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; Pérez Art Museum Miami; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and more.

His upcoming book How to See Like a Machine will be released by Verso on May 19, 2026.

The jury for the 2026 LG Guggenheim Award included Mami Kataoka, Director, Mori Art Museum; Melanie Lenz, Curator of Digital Art, Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Rasha Salti, researcher, writer, and curator of art and film, and curatorial advisor to late Koyo Kouoh, Artistic Director of the 61st Venice Biennale; Noam Segal, Ph.D., LG Electronics Associate Curator, Guggenheim New York; and Eugenio Viola, Ph.D., Artistic Director, Bogotá Museum of Modern Art.

On selecting Paglen for the 2026 LG Guggenheim Award, the jury stated:

“Trevor Paglen’s long-term, pioneering practice has persistently evolved throughout his career, demonstrating an exceptional commitment to innovation, critical reflection, and conceptual complexity. Over previous decades, his work has explored the liminal space of digital photography, interrogating the structures of seeing through questions of visibility, perception, and lens-based technologies. With the emergence of large language models and contemporary AI systems, Paglen’s practice has expanded to engage deeply with advanced data analytics, computer vision, and the underlying architectures that shape our modes of perception.

Looking beyond art and culture alone, Paglen examines the power structures surrounding mass technologies and the exchanges they facilitate––between cultural myths, national narratives, and deeply embedded social assumptions. His engagement with advanced technologies extends beyond discrete forms of artificial intelligence, probing instead the future implications and latent potentials of neural and computational systems. Through this work, Paglen carefully interrogates the forces that ‘produce our reality,’ simultaneously challenging the limits of human perception while rendering invisible structures visible.

Paglen’s sustained commitment to addressing urgent global concerns––through rigorous artistic research, technological subversion, intellectual risk-taking, and engagement with universal subject matter—has resulted in a coherent and highly distinctive artistic oeuvre. His works consistently bring legibility and public access to opaque and often inaccessible technologies, while resisting dominant corporate narratives and foregrounding broader societal and ethical considerations. This unwavering devotion to critical inquiry and public accountability merits recognition and support. We recognize Trevor Paglen as one of the most influential artists of our time.”

DUBAI, UAE, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Following the successful launch of the world’s first mass-produced N200 VIO navigation module at a price of USD 399, UNIBIRD has officially introduced its upgraded solution—the N200M Visual Navigation Module (VIO). Designed for environments where GPS signals are unavailable or unreliable, the N200M uses AI-based visual navigation for precise positioning and self-localization. It delivers significant improvements in size, weight, accuracy, and environmental adaptability, ensuring stable and reliable drone operations even in complex operational environments.

Key Performance Improvements

• 43% smaller: 92 × 62 × 37.3 mm, improving compatibility.
• 54% lighter: Only 128 g, reducing payload and extending flight endurance.
• 300% accuracy improvement: Continuous positioning error within 2%, representing a major improvement over the previous generation

Price remains $399—about one-twentieth the cost of traditional fiber-optic inertial systems—with plug-and-play compatibility for PX4 and APM controllers.

Stable Navigation Without GPS
The N200M Visual Navigation Module is designed to deliver enhanced performance compared with existing visual navigation solutions.

• Operating altitude: Up to 200 meters (656 ft), four times higher than the 46-meter (150-foot) limitation of many current systems.
• Maximum speed: 15 m/s (54 km/h) with stable localization
• Low latency: 30 Hz output with latency as low as 28 ms

In many operational environments, drones can lose positioning capability when GPS signals are jammed, obstructed, or unavailable. By tightly coupling vision, laser ranging, and IMU data with adaptive feature-tracking algorithms, the N200M maintains 2% positioning accuracy even in low-texture environments, during high-speed flight at up to 15–20 m/s, or under strong electromagnetic interference and GPS spoofing.

No Preloaded Maps Required
The N200M leverages SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), combining vision, IMU, and LiDAR data to perceive its surroundings and track position and orientation in real time. Even in unknown, complex, or GPS-denied environments, it enables drones to navigate stably, reliably, and autonomously.

Effortless Deployment: Rapid Integration, Plug and Play

The module follows the MAVLink standard protocol and connects directly to PX4 or APM flight controllers. Integration takes only a few minutes, requiring minimal PID tuning before the system is ready for operation.

About UNIBIRD
Headquartered in Dubai, UNIBIRD.ai combines Asia-Pacific R&D and manufacturing expertise to deliver high-performance, accessible AI modules. The N200M VIO Visual Navigation Module is now available for large-scale commercial orders, enabling a wide range of drones to execute precise autonomous missions in demanding GPS-denied environments.

HOUSTON, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On March 9, home improvement leader VEVOR celebrated the grand opening of its first global flagship store in Houston, marking a major step from a digital-native brand to an omnichannel, experience-driven retail presence. Houston Rockets player Josh Okogie joined the celebration, adding to the excitement as the launch attracted a vibrant mix of local residents, DIY enthusiasts, content creators —including renowned automotive YouTuber ChrisFix — and brand partners, signaling a new chapter in how VEVOR brings its mission from online platforms into real-world experiences.

Rockets Star Appearances Bring Sports Excitement to DIY Fans

The event’s excitement reached its peak when Houston Rockets player Josh Okogie joined fans for interactive challenges, autograph sessions, and photo opportunities. Cheers erupted each time he completed a challenge, while laughter and applause filled the store as families captured memorable moments.

Adding to the festive atmosphere, Rockets mascot Clutch the Bear entertained visitors with playful antics, delighting both kids and adults. The presence of the Rockets, combined with hands-on DIY experiences, highlighted VEVOR’s commitment to connecting with local communities. It showcased how the brand brings together sports, creativity, and interactive engagement to inspire Houston’s home creators.

At home, VEVOR empowers creators with professional-grade tools engineered to perform when it matters most. By partnering with a team known for its energy, teamwork, and strong local pride, VEVOR reinforces its mission to help individuals take their projects to the next level—blending community engagement with the creativity and hands-on spirit of DIY culture.

Hands-On Experience and Opening Promotions Draw Enthusiastic Crowds

Alongside the interactive experiences, VEVOR’s grand opening featured a range of special promotions that drew eager crowds. Visitors explored the store, taking advantage of limited-time discounts, exclusive member offers, and opening-day deals, creating a lively atmosphere that reflected strong interest in the products. Shoppers actively tested tools, filled their carts, and shared ideas, turning the store into a dynamic hub of activity.

Designed around hands-on engagement, the Houston flagship offers interactive zones where visitors can pick up tools, test grips, feel their weight, and experience performance firsthand. From power tools and storage solutions to outdoor gear and home hardware, the store encourages exploration, learning, and inspiration, bringing VEVOR’s commitment to professional-grade tools and immersive experiences fully to life.

“We want this space to be more than a store,” said VEVOR Brand Director Gavin Wu. “It should be a place where people linger, connect, and share. Partnering with the Rockets — a team that embodies Houston’s energy and pride — was also our way of showing that this store belongs to the community. At VEVOR, we believe that tools exist to empower people, and the store should serve the community.”

With Houston as its first footprint, VEVOR plans to expand more community-driven, experience-focused spaces across the U.S. and globally—fueling DIY culture and giving home creators the confidence and tools to bring their visions to life.

Beyond retail, VEVOR is also building a broader program of community initiatives, from home improvement workshops to neighborhood improvement projects—because a brand that sells tools should also help people use them.

And Houston is just the beginning. With the flagship store as its foundation, VEVOR is committed to bringing the same hands-on, community-first retail experience to more American home creators — both online and offline.

The Houston flagship is now open—step inside, get hands-on with tools, ignite your creativity, and join a community where every home creator can turn ideas into reality. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a weekend DIYer, VEVOR is where inspiration meets action.
