Dreame Launches H15 Pro CarpetFlex, an All-in-One Wet Dry Vacuum for Whole-Home Deep Cleaning

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dreame, a global innovator in smart home cleaning solutions, proudly unveils the H15 Pro CarpetFlex, its first wet dry vacuum to deliver exceptional performance across carpets, rugs, hardwood, and tile. Engineered with the groundbreaking Dual-Brush System and MistLock Dust Control, the H15 Pro CarpetFlex redefines home cleaning by combining power, hygiene, and unmatched convenience for every household.

“For years, wet dry vacuums were limited to hard floors, leaving carpets neglected,” said Judy Shi, Product Strategy Manager at Dreame. “With the H15 Pro CarpetFlex, we’re breaking new ground. This machine delivers true all-in-one cleaning, tackling messes on multiple surfaces with ease and intelligence.”

Dreame’s First Dual-Brush Wet Dry Vacuum

The H15 Pro CarpetFlex shatters the boundaries of traditional wet dry vacuums, which struggle to clean carpets effectively. As the first in its category to excel on carpets and rugs, it features the innovative Dual-Brush System, allowing users to switch between a Carpet Brush for deep-cleaning embedded debris and a Hard Floor Brush for vacuuming and mopping in one seamless pass. The vacuum intelligently detects the brush type and adjusts cleaning modes automatically, ensuring optimal results across diverse flooring from carpets to hardwood. 

MistLock Dust Control: Reduce Allergies, Breathe Healthier

The H15 Pro CarpetFlex introduces Dreame’s MistLock Dust Control System, a revolutionary technology designed for healthier homes. “Over 20 million Americans suffer from dust mite allergies, and traditional vacuums worsen the issue by releasing dust during disposal,” said Judy Shi. “Our MistLock system captures dust particles with ultra-fine water droplets, transforming them into damp clusters that stay safely in the used water tank.” This innovation eliminates secondary dust pollution, making it a game-changer for pet owners, families with children, or anyone with sensitivities, ensuring cleaner air alongside spotless floors. 

Heat Self-Cleaning in One Click

Meet the revolutionary ThermoTub™ Hot Water Self-Cleaning system. With a single tap, it powerfully immerses the roller with 212°F(100°C) water, instantly dissolving tough grease and grime. A full system rinse follows, washing away residue to prevent odors. Then, the Full-Path Hot Air Fast Drying feature takes over, circulating 194°F (90°C) air through the entire machine—from the brush to the pipes and filter. This ensures everything is thoroughly dried, stopping moisture, and odors. The entire hands-free cycle runs at a whisper-quiet 63dB, leaving your H15 Pro CarpetFlex fresh, clean, and ready for the next run.

Additional features elevate the H15 Pro CarpetFlex to new heights: 

  • 23,000Pa Suction Power: With 23KPa of suction power, H15 Pro CarpetFlex easily tackles everyday messes and stubborn dirt lodged deep in the carpet fibers.
  • TangleCut™ 2.0: Have a tough time detangling your brush? With 15% denser comb teeth, H15 Pro CarpetFlex captures and cuts hair faster and more precisely, perfect for multi-pet families.
  • SmoothGlide System: Simply switch between two assist modes, the SmoothGlide system smartly adapts the wheels for smooth control on any surface.
  • 5 Times Sensitive RGB Detection: Precisely detects mess type in real time, then auto-adjusts suction for optimal pickup. From liquid spills and pet food to sticky spots and everyday crumbs, cleaning is smooth and efficient.
  • LED Display & Voice Prompts: Between the crystal-clear LED display and helpful voice prompts, your machine always keeps you informed and in control.

Availability and Pricing

The Dreame H15 Pro CarpetFlex will officially launch on September 25 through US Amazon and Dreame Store at a retail price of $699. To celebrate the launch, customers in the US and Canada can enjoy a special 25% discount on the Dreame Amazon and DTC Store with code H15PROUNI from September 25 through October 31.

“This is what the future of clean feels like,” said Judy Shi. “The H15 Pro CarpetFlex combines power, innovation, and convenience to make cleaning effortless and effective for every home.”

U.S. Critical Materials and GreenMet Join Forces in Strategic Alliance for Gallium and Critical Mineral Independence

WASHINGTON and SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — US Critical Materials Corp., a leading rare earth exploration and process technology company, is proud to announce a strategic advisory alliance with GreenMet, a Washington, D.C.-based firm specializing in critical minerals strategy and financing. This partnership marks a pivotal step in advancing domestic rare earth production, with gallium— a mineral of growing national security importance—at the forefront.

US Critical Materials holds the highest-grade reported gallium deposit in the United States, with concentrations averaging 300 ppm— far exceeding the 50 ppm that the U.S. had been importing, predominantly from China. Gallium, essential for advanced semiconductors, defense electronics, and satellite communications, has been identified by the U.S. government as a critical mineral with high supply chain vulnerability. The Company’s Sheep Creek deposit in Montana will prioritize gallium as one of the first minerals to be processed under its Phase II Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Idaho National Laboratory (INL).

Consistent with an Executive Order by President Trump on March 20, 2025 the parties have entered into preliminary discussions with a major Army installation base located in Alabama as a site for the environmentally benign processing of rare earth elements, critical minerals, the strategic storing of these materials, and an Innovation Center to provide critical mineral war fighting capabilities now. 

Sheep Creek’s mineral profile is unmatched domestically, with ore grades approaching 9% total rare earths (89,932 ppm) and combined neodymium and praseodymium concentrations of 2.4% (23,810 ppm), as verified by the Idaho National Laboratory and by Activation Labs. The initial 2.5 square mile site—part of a broader 11 square mile claim—hosts over 60 carbonatite formations, underscoring its vast potential for high-grade, strategically vital resources.

GreenMet will serve as strategic advisor to US Critical Materials, supporting efforts to secure federal funding through grants and concessional loans aimed at strengthening U.S. critical mineral supply chains. The engagement will be led by GreenMet Founder and CEO Drew Horn, a recognized authority in defense supply chain strategy and former senior official at the White House National Security Council, Department of Energy, and Department of Defense.

“Gallium is not just a mineral—it’s a strategic asset,” said Drew Horn. “US Critical Materials is uniquely positioned to deliver high-grade gallium and rare earths from a secure domestic source, directly supporting U.S. national security and technological independence.”

“We look forward to working closely with GreenMet to help establish rare earth and critical mineral sovereignty for the United States,” said Harvey Kaye, Executive Chairman of US Critical Materials.

This alliance reinforces US Critical Materials’ commitment to building a resilient, domestic supply chain for critical minerals, with gallium as a cornerstone of its national security mission.

About U.S. Critical Materials Corp.

US Critical Materials Corp. is a privately held rare earth exploration and process development company headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. With substantial mineral holdings in Montana and Idaho, the company is dedicated to securing a domestically sustainable, high-grade supply of rare earth elements and gallium, reducing US reliance on imports, and ensuring a stable, independent supply chain for national security. We are currently utilizing and developing multiple environmentally friendly technologies for exploration and processing of rare earths and critical minerals. 

About GreenMet:

GreenMet acts as a vital American conduit between private capital, government, and critical mineral innovation. The firm is uniquely positioned to represent and advance private sector interests that strengthen U.S. supply chains for critical minerals, ensuring reliability and continuity from mine to manufacturing. GreenMet’s insights and guidance help clients navigate the evolving landscape of critical mineral development.

COREE Announces Discovery of Microbiome Biomarkers Specific to Diabetes and Obesity Patients

  • Joint research achievement by Gemelli Hospital in Rome, COREE, COREE Pohang, and the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — COREE announced on September 15 that it had, for the first time in the world, identified microbiome biomarkers specific to diabetes and obesity patients, in collaboration with Italian research teams. The company is led by Chairman Chong-Yoon Lim, who is also the largest shareholder of Dx&Vx.

The announcement was made at the 38th Annual Workshop of the European Helicobacter & Microbiota Study Group (EHMSG), held in Rome, Italy, from September 11 to 13. EHMSG, a prestigious academic platform with over 30 years of history, is an international venue where the latest findings in Helicobacter pylori and microbiome research are presented each year. This year’s workshop brought together more than 500 researchers and clinicians from around the world.

COREE participated as an official sponsor of the event, with Chairman Chong-Yoon Lim, CEO Sung-Jun Han, Professor Dae-Hee Kang of Seoul National University, Professor In-Taek Lim of the Catholic University of Korea, and about 30 other Korean scientists in attendance as part of the Future Medical Innovation Forum.

At the workshop, Professor Lorenza Putignani of Sapienza University of Rome and Gemelli Hospital presented the results of a clinical study jointly conducted by Gemelli Hospital, COREE, COREE Pohang, and the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. The study analyzed clinical samples from 93 patients with obesity or type 2 diabetes and 45 healthy controls, successfully identifying for the first time worldwide microbiome distribution patterns unique to these patients.

The research involved metagenomic analysis of stool and saliva samples. Findings showed that the gut microbiome diversity of obese patients was significantly reduced compared to healthy controls. Specific bacterial groups such as Clostridium sp. Q and “CAG-74” were highlighted as potential biomarkers capable of distinguishing patient groups. In type 2 diabetes patients, differences in oral microbiome distribution were observed, with Parvimonas and Aggregatibacter identified as potential biomarkers.

COREE explained that the study is not just a scientific discovery but also a critical foundation for future diagnostic platforms, new drug development, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT).

Sung-Jun Han, CEO of COREE, stated, “This is the first time globally that statistically significant microbiome characteristics specific to diabetes and obesity patients have been identified. With further research, these biomarkers could be developed for early diagnosis and prediction of treatment response.”

The company emphasized that this achievement provides a clear roadmap for its future growth areas in diagnostics, therapeutics, and FMT solutions.

The academic exchange extended beyond diabetes and obesity research, highlighting broader public health challenges shared by both Italy and Korea. Both countries face extremely low birth rates and rapidly aging populations, making child and senior health critical national priorities.

Dr. In-Taek Lim, former Assistant Minister for Health of the Korea Ministry of Health and Welfare, and now Research Professor at the Catholic University of korea, Graduate School of Public Health and Healthcare Management, commented:

“Both Korea and Italy are confronted with structural challenges of low fertility and rapid aging. This joint research marks an important starting point for future academic and industrial collaborations aimed at tackling common health issues across generations, particularly children and the elderly.”

Building on this study, COREE and Gemelli Hospital underscored the importance of expanded research into pediatric and adolescent microbiome health as well as preventive strategies for age-related diseases. Future directions will include initiatives to strengthen maternal and child health as part of efforts to overcome declining birth rates, along with the development of tailored preventive medicine strategies for the elderly.

Professor Dae-Hee Kang of Seoul National University’s Department of Preventive Medicine added:

“This achievement serves as a source of great inspiration not only to Korean scientists but also to the global research community. It demonstrates the potential of Helicobacter and microbiome research to evolve into a new therapeutic paradigm.”

SINGAPORE, SAN FRANCISCO and FONTAINEBLEAU, France, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The INSEAD AI 50, an alum-led initiative, today announced its inaugural list recognizing 50 members of the INSEAD community who are shaping artificial intelligence across finance, healthcare, retail, climate, industrials, media and the public sector. Honorees hail from North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, reflecting the school’s 170+ nationalities and presence in nearly 180 countries. Honorees include founders, executives, board leaders, researchers and educators who turn AI from research into responsible, scaled deployment. Anyone can view the INSEAD AI 50 at INSEADAI50.com.

“INSEAD leaders focus on tangible outcomes customers can feel. They build, deploy, govern and iterate. This list highlights leaders who turn models into products and products into businesses,” said Robert Maciejko, co-founder of the INSEAD AI (alum-led) community and one of the organizers of the INSEAD AI 50.

“AI is moving from hype to execution at remarkable speed. Our global community of leaders, across startups, corporates and institutions, forms a network of learners who help each other cut through the noise and truly understand AI. We are independent and international, with a simple goal: enabling leaders to apply AI effectively, responsibly and at scale,” said Fabio Valle, co-founder of the INSEAD AI (alum-led) community and one of the organizers of the INSEAD AI 50.

Why the INSEAD Network Matters

This alumni initiative builds on the strength of the INSEAD network: one school with a global footprint across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the INSEAD San Francisco Hub that connects the community to the Bay Area ecosystem.

The network includes 70,000+ alumni representing 170+ nationalities in nearly 180 countries. Entrepreneurship is part of the culture. In recent alumni research, 73% of surveyed students and graduates embarked on entrepreneurial ventures after INSEAD. The school is the No. 1 international MBA in Poets&Quants’ 2024–2025 ranking and No. 2 on LinkedIn among all MBA programs, reflecting strong career outcomes and network reach. INSEAD has been an early mover in AI executive education, with faculty translating rigorous research into practical programs for leaders.

“At INSEAD, our mission is to develop responsible leaders who transform business and society. It is inspiring to see our faculty and alumni working together to turn AI insight and capabilities into real-world impact. Their efforts reflect the values that connect INSEAD community worldwide,” said Francisco Veloso, Dean of INSEAD.

What the INSEAD AI 50 recognizes

Selection emphasizes four criteria:

1. real-world outcomes and adoption

2. innovation in product, science or go-to-market

3. leadership and responsible use

4. potential to scale globally

Honorees this year include leaders based in the United States, France, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, India, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Israel, Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, and China.

Examples include a US developer platform rolling out AI coding copilots to over 100 million developers, a European semiconductor equipment leader using AI to lift lithography yields that power global compute, and an Indian agentic-AI startup turning a “don’t try to out-train foundation models” comment from Sam Altman into production-grade enterprise agents. Governments and healthcare are moving too, with a national digital chief accelerating AI across public services and a surgical team using real-time AI guidance to cut complications and time in the OR.

“INSEAD AI is a builder’s network. We swap playbooks across markets, pair alumni with operators and researchers, and share what works in the field. The AI 50 celebrates practical progress and raises the bar for what responsible adoption looks like,” said Amit Akhelikar, co-founder of INSEAD AI (alum-led) and President, US INSEAD Alumni Association.

Quhuo Limited Reports Unaudited Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

BEIJING, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Quhuo Limited (NASDAQ: QH) (“Quhuo” or the “Company”), a leading gig economy platform focusing on local life services in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Despite a challenging market environment and intense industry competition, the Company continued to advance its dual-track strategy: on the one hand, optimizing on-demand delivery solutions to drive growth, and on the other, accelerating the expansion of housekeeping and accommodation solutions to further enhance profitability.

On-Demand Delivery Solutions: Optimizing Structure to Unlock Potential

Quhuo generated total revenue of RMB1,131.4 million in the first half of 2025. In the second quarter of 2025, competition in China’s food delivery market intensified, with rising costs passed down to service providers and strategic adjustments by major clients reshaping the industry landscape.

In response, Quhuo focused on workforce management and operational optimization, leveraging its strong track record and reputation to secure new business opportunities. While new site launches and integrations temporarily increased costs, the Company observed signs of market share gains relative to its key competitor since May 2025, which management believes will lay a foundation for sustainable growth.

Meanwhile, Quhuo streamlined its management structure and reallocated resources by exiting underperforming sites and concentrating on higher-revenue locations, thereby improving overall operational quality. Management expects that economies of scale and profitability in on-demand delivery solutions may begin to materialize in the second half of 2025.

Housekeeping and Accommodation Solutions: Significant Growth in Revenue and Profitability

In the first half of 2025, Quhuo’s housekeeping and accommodation businesses delivered robust results, with revenue up 70.8% year over year and gross profit increasing 63.4%, becoming a major driver of the Company’s earnings mix.

  • Chengtu (Homestay Business): Revenue grew 83.6% year over year, while gross profit surged 390.8%, achieving a gross margin of 55.2%. Supported by a scalable operating model and the rollout of its proprietary mini program, Chengtu now provides a seamless, closed-loop service from property search to payment. Looking forward, Chengtu plans to open its platform to more property owners by providing standardized management tools and marketing support, transitioning from a property management service provider into a platform operator.
  • Lailai (Hotel and Home Services): Revenue increased 63.6% year over year, driven by its partnership with Ke Holdings Inc. (“Beike”), a leading housing transactions and services platform in China. Lailai provides comprehensive property-related services, including pre- and post-listing maintenance, daily housekeeping, and customized solutions for specific resident groups. Leveraging years of expertise in local life services and its proprietary digital dispatch system, Lailai integrates cleaning, repair, and other services on a single platform, ensuring efficient management and high-quality delivery. Its services currently cover Chengdu, Beijing, Shanghai, Ningbo, and Jinan, with plans to expand to Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and other cities. Management expects these initiatives to serve as new growth engines for Quhuo’s sustainable development.

New Business Initiatives: Pursuing Stability While Expanding Opportunities

In the first half of 2025, Quhuo continued to optimize its on-demand delivery operations while expanding its housekeeping and accommodation businesses. Recently, the Company entered into a partnership with JD.com to provide on-demand delivery services in select cities, which management believes could generate incremental revenue in China’s competitive food delivery market.

In addition, the Company’s beef supply chain partnership with NIU World has been progressing since its launch in May 2025, generating approximately RMB14.4 million in revenue. Management views this as an important milestone in Quhuo’s transformation from a fulfillment service provider to a supply chain enabler, creating additional value from its core delivery network.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Quhuo will continue to execute its dual-track strategy—strengthening its core operations while accelerating the growth of new business initiatives. With a focus on efficiency, structural optimization, and innovation, the Company aims to deliver more sustainable and stable long-term returns for its shareholders.

About Quhuo Limited

Quhuo Limited (NASDAQ: QH) is a leading gig economy platform focusing on local life services in China. Leveraging Quhuo+, its proprietary technology infrastructure, Quhuo is dedicated to empowering and linking workers and local life service providers and providing end-to-end operation solutions for the life service market. The Company currently provides multiple industry-tailored operational solutions, primarily including on-demand delivery solutions, mobility service solutions, housekeeping and accommodation solutions, and other services, meeting the living needs of hundreds of millions of families in the communities.

With the vision of promoting employment, stabilizing income and empowering entrepreneurship, Quhuo explores multiple scenarios to promote employment of workers, provides, among others, safety and security and vocational training to protect workers, and helps workers plan their career development paths to realize their self-worth.
