By
Advertorial Desk
-

SINGAPORE, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Silicon Valley-based global open innovation platform Plug and Play is joining forces with Amazon Devices Climate Tech Accelerator 2026. The Accelerator is a uniquely designed program for companies at any stage to accelerate the integration of their technologies that can help reduce the carbon impact of Amazon devices.

Plug and Play, with its vast global ecosystem of startups, corporates, and mentors, as well as a proven track record in designing and operating accelerator programs, brings valuable expertise in scaling climate technologies and fostering meaningful industry connections.

“Plug and Play focuses on helping the best startups move faster, from idea to impact,” said Saeed Amidi, Founder and CEO of Plug and Play. “At Plug and Play, one thing we’ve noticed is how hard it can be for great technologies to make the leap from pilot discussions to real adoption. We’ve worked with thousands of startups and hundreds of large enterprises, and we see how long timelines, complex decision layers, and uncertainty around next steps can stall even the most promising solutions. Through this partnership with the Amazon Devices Climate Tech Accelerator, we’re giving tech companies the best chance for success by providing access to the connections and resources they need to scale.”

“We’re excited to partner with Amazon to support the growth of companies looking to make a real impact in reducing carbon emissions,” said Jupe Tan, Managing Partner of Plug and Play APAC. “Together with Amazon, we’ve built a different type of accelerator. One that focuses on senior leadership engagement, accelerated integration pathways, faster feedback loops, and measurable carbon-reduction outcomes – ensuring the right decision makers are in the room to assess opportunities for integration into millions of Amazon devices. Plug and Play will leverage our network and expertise to provide them with dedicated, hands-on guidance, presenting a unique opportunity to translate their ideas into scalable solutions that yield tangible results.”

Streamlining the path from validation to adoption opportunity, this program breaks down traditional industry barriers and accelerates collaboration between climate tech innovators and enterprise decision-makers. Participating companies will be equipped with skills and opportunities to explore potential collaborations with Amazon devices.

As part of the program, companies will engage with Amazon’s senior leadership and receive technical mentorship from Plug and Play’s venture team of engineering, sustainability, and manufacturing experts. The program structure includes bi-weekly progress reviews, weekly cohort office hours, and specialized workshops focused on technical integration and Amazon-specific processes. Plug and Play and Amazon will support participating companies in building their Integration Assessment document, including technical analysis, cost/benefit evaluation, and commercial viability assessment, leading up to their final pitch to senior leadership from Amazon Devices & Services. Additionally, eligible companies will receive up to $100,000 in AWS Activate Credits to build, grow, and scale. Companies do not have to give up any equity to participate in this program.

“The primary goal of our Climate Tech Accelerator is simple — to speed up efforts to reduce the carbon impact of our devices,” said Maiken Moeller-Hansen, Director, Energy & Sustainability, Amazon Devices & Services. “Participants will receive dedicated support from Amazon technical leaders, who will evaluate and help validate the deployment potential of their technologies. This is a unique and collaborative program that resembles how Amazon works—we’re excited to work with participants in the 2026 cohort, and excited about the potential to accelerate the inclusion of climate-friendly technologies in our devices.”

The program’s inaugural cohort in 2025 comprised 14 companies of various stages, each developing technologies to reduce device and supply-chain emissions.

“As a publicly traded company, developing strategic enterprise accounts is critical. This program condensed three to four years of pitching and validating into six months. It gave us a more direct path to engage with Amazon’s technical and leadership teams,” says 2025 cohort participant Ronnie Tao, VP of Sales, Amprius Technologies, which manufactures advanced silicon batteries that deliver greater energy and power density.

“For companies at that next growth inflection point, this is a great program. We’ve shipped a million units over eight years to hundreds of customers. But there’s a gray zone for companies like ours — too established for traditional company programs, but not yet at consumer electronics scale for enterprise partnerships. This accelerator bridges that gap.” Mike Casper, Co-founder & CEO, Azumo, a display technology company and a 2025 cohort participant.

“Being immersed in the mechanisms that Amazon has used to go from a bookstore to launching rockets, that alone is incredibly insightful. That’s been the most surprising thing about the program, the openness with which Amazon has shared their processes and tools with us — enabling us to collaborate seamlessly using the same decision-making frameworks.” Mark Herrema, Co-Founder & CEO, Aircarbon, a company making a biomaterial made from air and greenhouse gas, a 2025 Accelerator participant.

THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION’S 100TH ANNIVERSARY IS COMMEMORATED IN PURE GOLD AND SILVER IN THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT’S LATEST COLLECTOR COIN OFFERING

By
Advertorial Desk
-

OTTAWA, ON, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — One hundred years after the incorporation of the country’s largest veteran support and community service organization, known today as The Royal Canadian Legion (the Legion), the Royal Canadian Mint has issued finely crafted pure gold and silver coins to recognize the Legion’s 100th anniversary. The Legion’s century-long mission of supporting Veterans, including serving military, and RCMP members and their families, promoting Remembrance, and serving Canada and its communities is celebrated on the 2026 $100 Pure Gold Coin, the 2026 Fine Silver Proof Dollar, and the 2026 Fine Silver Proof Set, all of which are available as of today.

Canadian artist Laurie McGaw has conceived a split image reverse design on the 2026 $100 Pure Gold coin that illustrates the Legion’s past, present and future. The right half of the coin features two present-day members in Legion dress, facing a collage of First World War symbols consisting of a Canadian infantryman, an S.E.5a fighter aircraft, and the distant silhouette of HMCS Niobe, a battle cruiser from the recently formed Naval Service of Canada. These elements represent Canada’s contribution to the Allied effort and the First World War sacrifices that gave rise to The Royal Canadian Legion. Poppies above and below, overlapping both scenes, symbolize the enduring cycle of Remembrance.

The 2026 Proof Silver Dollar’s reverse was designed by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn. It shows two Legion members standing in Remembrance, before a maple leaf from the Legion’s official crest. Beneath this scene appears an arrangement of 14 poppies, one for each Canadian province and territory, and one for the Legion’s international branches, as well as a forget-me-not flower, symbolizing Remembrance in Newfoundland and Labrador.
