ISTANBUL, Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rönesans Holding, has announced its role as a major private sector partner in UNICEF’s “From Learning to Earning for Youth” programme. In collaboration with the Ministry of National Education, this bold initiative is set to reimagine vocational education for young people across Türkiye, equipping the next generation with the skills they need to thrive.

İpek Ilıcak Kayaalp, Chair of the Board of Rönesans Holding

Bridging Ambition and Opportunity

As a pioneering partner of the initiative, Rönesans Holding will open the doors of Gaziantep City Hospital – one of Türkiye’s most advanced healthcare facilities – to 120 health vocational high school students. Here, students will step beyond the classroom and into real-world roles, gaining practical experience in software development, food and beverage services, industrial maintenance and repair, plumbing and energy systems, and industrial automation technologies. By linking education directly to the demands of the modern workplace, the programme empowers Türkiye’s youth to turn their ambitions into rewarding careers.

UNICEF Türkiye Representative Paolo Marchi said, “As UNICEF, we want to support every young person reach their full potential by gaining the knowledge, skills, and competencies they need. Skills that are also matched with the labour market. This partnership does both – support the Ministry of National Education provide quality and inclusive vocational and technical education; and leverage the expertise of private sector partners like Rönesans Holding bring innovation and opportunity to young people.

Importantly, the collaboration also strengthens the system beyond the directly targeted students. Updates to the TVET curriculum, improved safety and workplace-learning standards, and expanded teacher capacity will benefit a much larger number of TVET students across Türkiye — helping ensure that quality, relevant, and future-proof skills become the norm, not the exception.”

EBRD Managing Director for Türkiye and the Caucasus, Elisabetta Falcetti said that “We are proud to contribute to this cross-sector initiative, which champions workforce diversity, boosts competitiveness through skills development, and helps industries build stronger foundations. Unequal access to economic opportunities limits growth, which is why the EBRD is committed to promoting equality of opportunity across all its regions. Guided by our strategies for equality and gender inclusion, we strive, with our private sector partners, to unlock the potential of diverse workforces. I am confident this initiative will address a critical human capital challenge in healthcare, and we look forward to replicating its success in other sectors.”

Rönesans Holding’s Commitment to Sustainable Growth

Rönesans educational initiatives already include science and technical high schools, support for over 14,000 scholarship students, and a decade-long “Sustainability by Design” programme fostering university-level sustainability awareness. The company’s long-term partnership with UNICEF began in 2023, including vital collaborations in earthquake-affected regions to ensure access to quality education and psychosocial support for nearly 13,000 women and children.

İpek Ilıcak Kayaalp, Chair of the Board of Rönesans Holding, said, “As Rönesans, we are enabling 120 students prepare for their professions under the guidance of master instructors at the Gaziantep City Hospital, which is equipped with today’s most modern and new devices. These students will receive training at our hospital four days a week within the framework of the programme. This project is ‘not only an educational initiative, but a pioneering model of collaboration between the private sector, international organizations, and the public sector in Türkiye—and one that could serve as an example globally,’

Ilıcak Kayaalp continued: “The private sector contributes production and experience, the public sector undertakes the regulatory role, and UNICEF provides the perspective of social benefit. The combination of these three forces creates impacts that could not be achieved individually. Because our greatest goal, is to offer a future filled with hope, opportunity and confidence to young people. We will continue to dedicate all our efforts to ensuring that young people who we entrust with our future grow into inquisitive, productive individuals who adapt to the demands of the age.”

Shaping Tomorrow

Türkiye faces a critical challenge: almost one in four young people aged 15–24 are not in education, employment, or training. The “From Learning to Earning for Youth” programme tackles this head-on, preparing youth for the fast-changing world of work by creating safe, supportive environments and closing the skills gap. Training will be delivered by hospital staff who have received specialised instruction, ensuring students learn from the best while supporting gender equality and diversity in the workplace.

Rönesans Holding is committed to expanding its support for youth education, working closely with UNICEF to bring the “From Learning to Earning for Youth” model to new business sectors and communities. The company remains steadfast in its investment in Türkiye’s youth, deepening partnerships with universities and civil society to unlock even more opportunities for the next generation.

The feature highlights the extensive collaboration between Creative Media Authority, Abu Dhabi Film Commission, Miral Destinations and local production services provider Epic Films, demonstrating how Abu Dhabi’s world class production offering and integrated film ecosystem are attracting global studios to the region. The film, now in worldwide release, took in over $80.5 million in its opening weekend.

The video offers an inside look at how Abu Dhabi’s collaborative government framework, streamlined production support and advanced infrastructure made it possible to complete this large-scale international shoot.

A crew of more than 450 professionals, including 290 international crew members and over 170 local freelancers from Abu Dhabi’s expanding creative sector, contributed to the project, underscoring the capital’s deepening pool of technical and creative talent capable of delivering world class results.

The footage reveals the scale and ambition of the Abu Dhabi shoot, featuring interviews with director Reuben Fleischer, producer Bobby Cohen, EVP Physical Production Kelly Konop and production designer David Scheunemann.

The Abu Dhabi production was supported by CMA through the ADFC’s 35%++ cashback rebate, streamlined permitting and on-ground facilitation, delivered in close coordination with local production services provider Epic films, Miral destinations for key locations as well as industry partners and government entities across the emirate.

Sameer Al Jaberi, Head of Abu Dhabi Film Commission, said: “This behind-the-scenes film celebrates the collaborative ecosystem that makes Abu Dhabi a truly film-friendly destination.

– To be held over three days from the 2nd to the 4th in Paris, France, with 1,550 companies and more than 24,000 visitors expected.

– Specialty ingredients including amino acids and microalgae to be showcased, along with tasting sessions featuring dishes made with the natural seasoning ingredient “Dsavory”

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Daesang will participate in “FiE 2025 (Food Ingredients Europe 2025),” one of the world’s largest food ingredient exhibitions, to be held in Paris, France from the 2nd to the 4^th. The company’s participation reflects its commitment to expand its global ingredient business capabilities and strengthen its presence in the international market.

Launched in 1986, Food Ingredients Europe (FiE) is the largest food and food additive exhibition in Europe, showcasing the latest technologies and trends in food ingredients and additives. It serves as a global platform to explore essential raw materials and additives for food manufacturing, as well as the latest trends in the food industry. This year, more than 1,550 companies from approximately 135 countries and over 24,000 visitors, including professional buyers, are expected to attend.

At the exhibition, Daesang will showcase three categories of specialty high-performance ingredients, including natural seasoning ingredients, EMULAID, and microalgae, backed by its proprietary technologies developed through years of experience in the domestic and global food ingredient business. By introducing its extensive ingredient portfolio developed through long-standing fermentation expertise, the company aims to expand its overseas sales channels and strengthen partnerships with global clients to reinforce its position in the global ingredient market.

Daesang will introduce the natural seasoning ingredient “Dsavory,” which enhances natural umami while preserving the original taste of food.

The company will also introduce plant based protein ingredients derived from microalgae, including Green Chlorella, GoldRella, and White Chlorella. These ingredients contain protein and dietary fiber, as well as essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, making them suitable for plant based alternative foods and health functional foods. Their safety and regulatory compliance are supported by SA-GRAS (Self-Affirmed Generally Recognized as Safe) status, which authorizes their use and sale in the United States.

With stronger consistency, faster generation, and expanded image capabilities, Vidu Q2 Image Generation delivers a full-stack upgrade for creative workflows

SINGAPORE, Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ShengShu Technology, a global leader in multimodal generative AI, today launched advanced image generation on Vidu Q2, expanding its flagship model into a leading AI image platform. The new capabilities upgrade the reference-to-image features from the earlier Q1 model and extend them into a full image stack that covers text-to-image, enhanced reference-to-image and full image editing. They are designed to deliver top-tier image quality with stronger consistency, faster generation, and more accessible pricing compared with the latest international image models. To support wider adoption, 1080p image generation will be available for unlimited free use for members until December 31, 2025, offering creators an opportunity to fully explore the new features at scale.

Vidu Q2 delivers performance-driven generation with lifelike motion and fast rendering. The new image generation extends these strengths to still visuals, making Vidu a unified system for both images and video. “High-end image models have raised the bar for what creators expect from AI visuals,” said Yihang Luo, CEO of ShengShu Technology. “With Vidu Q2 image generation, we want to meet that standard head-on and give the market a truly competitive alternative. Our focus is clear: compared with the latest flagship image models on the market, Vidu Q2 is built to offer clear advantages in consistency, speed and pricing, so creators can scale real work, not just run experiments.”

On the Artificial Analysis Image Editing Leaderboard, Vidu Q2 image generation ranks ahead of OpenAI’s models and stands alongside Google’s Nano Banana.

Full Image Function and Leading Consistency

The new Vidu Q2 image generation is built to match the latest generation of top image platforms in quality, while pushing further on full function and consistency.

Vidu Q2 now supports full spectrum image workflows:

• Text-to-Image: High-quality images generated directly from prompts. Creators can quickly explore characters, scenes, products and key visuals at production-ready resolutions.
• Reference-to-Image: An enhanced reference stack focused on industry-leading consistency. Even with multiple reference images, Q2 preserves character identity, styling and spatial layout, keeping faces, logos and key details stable across sequences.
• Image Editing: Fast, precise editing for generated or uploaded images, including adding or removing objects, adjusting outfits and props, tweaking lighting and composition, repairing fine details, and more.

Vidu Q2’s reference-to-image model shows outstanding performance in maintaining spatial layout and subject consistency. Complex compositions with several reference images remain coherent, with each subject and object clearly readable and true to its source. At the same time, Q2’s text-to-image engine supports anime-style four-panel comic layouts, allowing users to create their own scenes from a single prompt. It also renders ink-painting and Chinese-style visuals particularly well, with rich brush-like textures and atmosphere that make these traditional aesthetics stand out.

Built for Real-World Production with Speed and Cost Efficiency

The Vidu Q2 image upgrade is designed for professional production environments where resolution, turnaround time and cost all matter.

With native support for 1080p, 2K and 4K output, creators can use Q2 images for key visuals, storyboards, posters, digital out-of-home assets, streaming thumbnails and high-impact social content. For example, the fastest image generation speed is 5 seconds, scaling with reference complexity, which allows teams to run many variations for A/B testing, pre-visualization, and creative exploration without slowing down their workflow.

Combined with Q2’s existing efficiencies in video generation, the new image capabilities are structured to provide a more cost-effective alternative to separate high-end image services from global providers, especially for users who need to generate large volumes of content.

One Reference Workflow for Images and Video

While the Vidu Q2 image upgrade stands alone as a top-tier image solution, it also unlocks a second advantage, a single visual engine across stills and motion.

Because image and video now run on the same Vidu Q2 model, creators can design once and reuse everywhere. Generated images can be saved with one click as references, so that the same character or object can be used again in new images or brought into video workflows with high consistency. These subjects appear consistently across multiple images and then perform in Vidu Q2 videos without losing identity. Creators can use text-to-image and reference-to-image to build storyboards, layout references or coloured frames, then carry the same framing, characters and environments into video sequences. This allows teams to move smoothly from image exploration to video production without switching platforms, tools or models, which reduces friction for projects running under tight timelines.

This unified approach is particularly valuable in industries where campaigns span many formats. Advertisers can keep the same models, products and environments across key visuals, multi-frame storyboards and video spots. Short drama and animation teams can define character looks and worlds in stills, then extend them into performance-driven clips. Cultural tourism projects can combine stylised poster imagery with cinematic videos while maintaining a coherent visual universe from stills to motion.

Coming only a short time after the previous Vidu Q2 “Reference-to-Video” releases, this upgrade once again demonstrates ShengShu’s strong technical strength and rapid iteration, as it continues to benchmark against and lead the global market.

“With each update to Vidu Q2, we are not just adding features, we are tightening the link between our models and everyday creative work,” said Luo. “Our goal is to make it as natural as possible for anyone to move from an idea in their mind to a complete visual story, whether that starts from a still image, a reference board or a fully acted performance.”

To help creators fully experience all of Vidu’s capabilities, the Black Friday promotion offers 40% off all annual plans, with bonus credits for inviting friends, available until December 4, 2025.
