MANILA, Philippines, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Southeast Asia has become one of the world’s most dynamic regions for consumer growth, with the Philippines emerging as one of its most promising consumer markets. With a population of over 100 million, a young consumer base, a rapidly developing modern retail sector, and growing consumer demand, the country is creating new opportunities for the freshly prepared beverage industry. Compared with markets such as Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaysia, where the freshly prepared beverage sector has already entered a stage of large-scale development, the Philippine market is still in a growth stage and therefore offers greater room for expansion. Against this backdrop, MIXUE—an international freshly prepared beverage brand with established operating systems across several Southeast Asian markets—is continuing to deepen its presence in the Philippines.

For many Filipino consumers, MIXUE is still a relatively new name. Globally, however, it has grown into one of the world’s largest freshly prepared beverage brands by store count, with nearly 60,000 stores worldwide and more than 5,000 stores outside China. Southeast Asia has become a core region in the brand’s global expansion.

However, what has truly driven MIXUE’s sustained growth is not simply its store count, but the integrated business and operational capabilities it has built over many years. Over the years, MIXUE has developed an integrated operating system covering product research and development, raw material supply, intelligent manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, cold-chain distribution, digital operations, and standardized store management. From core ingredients to end stores, and from manufacturing to supply chain management, every stage is continuously optimized around quality, efficiency, and standards. This system not only ensures product consistency but also enables MIXUE to continuously serve consumers worldwide and support stable operations on a large scale.

For the freshly prepared beverage industry, an individual beverage can be imitated and a store format can be replicated. However, building a mature supply chain system and the management capabilities required to support the stable, long-term operation of tens of thousands of stores worldwide takes years of sustained investment. This is MIXUE’s true core competitiveness.

Beyond its industrial capabilities, standardized operations are equally fundamental to MIXUE’s long-term success. The company maintains consistent standards across product quality, food safety, store design, and customer service while continuously driving product innovation to enhance the overall consumer experience.

At the same time, the Snow King character has become a key part of MIXUE’s brand identity. Through its youthful, approachable, and energetic image, Snow King builds emotional connections with consumers across different countries and regions, strengthening the brand’s international communication and appeal.

More importantly, this development model has already been thoroughly validated across Southeast Asia.

In recent years, MIXUE has established a mature regional operating system in Indonesia, achieved large-scale expansion in Vietnam, and continuously strengthened its supply chain and operational capabilities in Malaysia. Although each country presents different market conditions, they have followed a similar growth path: increasing brand awareness, continuous supply chain improvement, stronger local teams, greater operational efficiency, and ultimately the development of a stable and sustainable business ecosystem. This demonstrates not only the sustainability of MIXUE’s business model but also the ability of its Southeast Asian markets to share supply chain resources, operational expertise, and management experience, creating greater regional synergy and efficiency.

A truly international consumer brand creates value beyond selling products.

As MIXUE continues to expand, it creates local employment opportunities, develops local talent, and supports the growth of related upstream and downstream industries, including logistics and transportation, warehousing and distribution, store construction, and equipment maintenance—creating lasting value for the local business ecosystem. Across several Southeast Asian markets, the brand actively participates in corporate social responsibility initiatives, including community programs, educational support, and disaster relief. For example, during the floods in Thailand, MIXUE worked with its partners to donate disaster-relief supplies; in Indonesia, it continues to participate in community programs and youth employment support; and in Vietnam, it actively carries out campus and community outreach activities. For MIXUE, business development and social responsibility go hand in hand. A brand committed to long-term development must not only create commercial value but also continue giving back to the communities where it operates and grow together with local communities.

Today, as Southeast Asia attracts increasing attention from international brands, MIXUE stands out not only for the scale of its global presence, but also for its mature value-chain capabilities, supply chain capabilities, standardized operating capabilities, and a development system validated across multiple markets. These capabilities constitute the most important long-term competitive strengths of an international consumer brand.

The Philippines: The Next Chapter of Growth Begins Here

The Philippines remains one of Southeast Asia’s most promising markets for freshly made beverages, offering significant opportunities for long-term growth.

For MIXUE, the Philippines is not a market waiting to be tested—it is an important part of the company’s Southeast Asian regional strategy. The development of its markets in Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaysia has already demonstrated that a brand’s lasting success does not come from short-term expansion, but from long-term investment, a mature supply chain system, and the ability to create lasting value.

Looking ahead, MIXUE will continue to bring the integrated business capabilities, operational experience, and brand-building expertise it has accumulated across Southeast Asia to the Philippines. By growing together with local consumers, business partners, and wider Philippine society, MIXUE aims to create more employment opportunities, expand opportunities for business cooperation, and deliver lasting social value to the Philippines.

The Philippines has a promising future, and so does MIXUE’s development in the country. This represents more than an international brand continuing to deepen its presence in a vibrant new market—it also marks the beginning of a new chapter in the Philippines for a development model that has already been validated across Southeast Asia.

SHENZHEN, China, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Australia’s approach to Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations has entered a new phase. Since the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) introduced its TMI 2025-03 policy, qualified Remote Operator Certificate (ReOC) holders have been able to self-assess and secure broad area BVLOS approvals — cutting what was once a months-long approval process down to days or weeks. DJI Dock, with its automated, remote-operated capability, has become a key enabler for operators across mining, agriculture and beyond looking to capitalise on this regulatory shift.

Under the TMI 2025-03 framework, CASA offers four standardised pathways: A1 and A2 for RPA with a physical dimension of less than 1 metre, and B1 and B2 for RPA with a physical dimension between 1 and 3 metres. Rather than applying for site-specific approval on a per-project basis, qualified operators can now self-assess whether an operating area meets the defined criteria and proceed accordingly. This has reduced typical approval timelines from six to twelve months down to a matter of days or weeks in many cases. Mining, agriculture, energy, infrastructure and emergency services have been identified as the sectors set to benefit most, and a growing number of operators have already been certified under the framework, with more applications progressing through the pipeline — reflecting rising industry confidence in the new pathway.

In the mining sector, this regulatory shift is already translating into measurable operational gains. Large-scale mine sites often span vast, remote terrain, where routine pit monitoring, surveying and emergency response have traditionally required significant on-site resourcing — a challenge Broad Area BVLOS is now helping operators address. At mine sites operated by BMA and Rio Tinto, RocketDNA’s xBot system supports pit monitoring, emergency response and surveying missions under its own Broad Area BVLOS capability. RocketDNA has also achieved BARS Gold Certification, a safety standard widely required by Tier 1 mining companies. Its Perth and Adelaide-based Remote Operations Centres (ROC) now runs BVLOS operations around the clock, completing approximately 4,500 flights per month – reflecting the growing maturity of BVLOS operations across the sector.

Agriculture is expected to be the next sector to benefit significantly from this shift. From crop monitoring to livestock and paddock inspection, the ability to operate BVLOS across broader areas removes a constraint that has historically limited large-scale agricultural drone deployment. Unlike mining sites, which are typically confined to a single, well-defined lease area, agricultural operations often span multiple properties across a region — making the ability to cover broad areas under a single approval especially valuable for operators serving the sector at scale. DJI is working with a number of Australian agricultural drone operators to explore real-world applications in this space, with further case studies to be announced in the coming months.

Underpinning much of this progress is the capability of DJI’s Dock 3 and FlightHub 2 platform. Dock 3 supports operations at ranges of up to 10 kilometres and is built to operate reliably across a wide temperature range, from -25°C to 45°C, suited to the demands of remote, harsh-environment deployment across Australia. FlightHub 2 adds AI-assisted detection and automated reporting, further reducing the coordination overhead for operators managing multiple sites and helping turn a single approval into a genuinely scalable operating model.

As CASA continues to modernise its regulatory framework, Australia is shifting from a market where only individual projects could fly BVLOS, to one where a growing number of operators can scale standardised, broad area operations. This shift is unlocking new efficiencies for operators across mining, agriculture and beyond, and marks a new phase in the scaled deployment of autonomous drone infrastructure across the Australian market.

NSW Community Services Workers Now Accessing Long Service Leave Across Multiple Employers on Appian

New digital portal already supporting 210,000+ workers with more than $100 million in levy payments processed

SYDNEY, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Long Service Corporation (LSC), a New South Wales Government statutory body, has launched a new digital application built on the Appian Platform to help community services workers across the State more easily access long service leave entitlements across multiple employers.

Delivered in partnership with Deloitte, the solution is designed to support workers employed across a broad range of services which look after the wellbeing of individuals and communities across NSW, such as housing and homelessness support, mental health services, and family and domestic violence support. Work in the sector often involves short-term employment contracts, multiple employers, and career breaks, making it difficult to maintain the continuous service traditionally required for long service leave. The new application helps approximately 250,000 workers and their 2,400 employers more easily track and manage their accrued service, ensuring they can access the entitlements they have earned over time.

Since the launch of the Appian-powered Community Services Industry portal in April 2026, more than 8,200 service returns have been submitted by over 2,100 employers, representing an approximate 80% completion rate. In the same period, more than 210,000 workers have been nominated into the scheme, enabling them to begin accruing portable long service leave.

LSC has already received over $100 million in levy payments to support workers in the industry, with total collections projected to exceed $115 million by 1 September 2026, highlighting the scale and momentum of the scheme. These results demonstrate the platform’s rapid impact in streamlining participation and delivering value to employers and workers. Lauren Nagel, Executive Director, LSC, said the application was designed to improve accessibility and reduce administrative complexity for both workers and employers.

“Workers and employers now have dedicated self-service portals and Long Service Corporation can also manage the scheme more efficiently and at scale,” said Nagel. “Using the application, workers and employers can securely interact with LSC through their MyServiceNSW accounts, complete identity verification, receive digital notifications, and manage service return payments online.”

The end-to-end application incorporates multiple NSW Government shared services to provide a streamlined and consistent customer experience. It also enables LSC to reduce manual administration through improved worker matching, guided self-service functionality and greater visibility across employer-worker relationships.

Kal Marshall, Area Vice President for Australia and New Zealand at Appian, said LSC has demonstrated how government agencies can modernise the administrative processes supporting essential community services workers.

“Long Service Corporation’s use case highlights how technology can help simplify highly complex administrative processes while improving outcomes for the people who rely on them most,” said Marshall. “For many community services workers, long service leave is a meaningful benefit that can be difficult to access under traditional employment models. By building a streamlined and scalable digital experience, Long Service Corporation is helping ensure workers can more easily receive the entitlements they have earned.”

Deloitte worked closely with LSC to align legislative requirements, operational processes and technical delivery throughout the project.

LSC also uses Appian Process HQ to monitor adoption, compliance and operational performance across the scheme, with future phases expected to include additional case management functionality.

Adam Karasiewicz, Partner, Deloitte, said the project combined legislative expertise with rapid technology delivery to support the rollout of the new scheme within tight timeframes.

“Portable long service leave schemes are highly specialised and require strong alignment between legislation, policy and operational delivery,” said Karasiewicz. “By combining Deloitte’s workplace integrity and policy expertise with Appian’s platform capabilities, we were able to help LSC deliver a secure, accessible and scalable solution quickly.”
