KIO Data Centers drives the future of data security with strategic alliance with space-based data center operator, Lonestar

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — KIO Data Centers, the leading digital infrastructure provider in Mexico and Latin America, has announced a strategic alliance with Lonestar Data Holdings, a pioneer in space-based data storage. This collaboration creates one of the first-of-its-kind hybrid data ecosystem, with KIO’s terrestrial facilities acting as ‘digital consulates’ that securely connect with Lonestar’s ‘data embassies’ in space. This initiative marks a historic milestone in data security and sovereignty, with KIO serving as the critical ground infrastructure for protecting humanity’s most valuable data beyond the limits of Earth.

“This alliance with Lonestar is much more than a technological agreement: it cements KIO DC as the organization that sets the pace for global innovation. Our data centers will act as the bridge between Earth and space, affirming the region as a key player in a new digital era.” said Octavio Camarena, CEO of KIO Data Centers. “Our mission has always been to protect our clients’ most valuable information, and today we are taking that promise to a cosmic dimension, reaffirming our commitment to security, sustainability, and data sovereignty.”

With this project, KIO DC becomes the first company in Latin America to actively support data storage in space, reinforcing its role as a key player in the new digital era.

“We chose KIO DC because of its world-class, resilient, secure, and sustainable infrastructure. Its high standards of availability and renewable energy operations, along with its leadership in the Latin American digital ecosystem, make KIO DC the ideal partner to bring our vision to life: protecting and securing humanity’s most valuable data beyond the limits of Earth,” said Chris Stott, CEO of Lonestar Data Holdings.

This project addresses an undeniable reality: more than 402 quintillion bytes of data are generated daily, and the volume doubles every six weeks. Around 63% of this information is sensitive and regulated – financial, medical, or governmental – making secure and sustainable solutions indispensable. This partnership provides a unique, off-planet solution. Storing data in space offers a new level of security, shielding it from real-time cyberattacks, natural disasters, and even physical surveillance. This approach ensures data sovereignty by aligning with national regulatory requirements and offers regional accessibility from space. Additionally, in-space data storage is sustainable, leveraging abundant solar energy and the natural vacuum for efficient cooling as space provides abundant solar energy, and the natural vacuum acts as a cooling system.

Project Phases: A Roadmap to the New Digital Frontier

  • Stage 1: Cislunar Orbit: The initial step involves establishing a ground station antenna to connect with a satellite in a cislunar orbit, enabling continuous, secure data transmission to space-based storage.
  • Stage 2: Lunar Data Centers: The long-term vision is to build data centers within the natural lava tubes or craters on the lunar surface, leveraging the moon’s geology for data protection and resilience.

Lonestar has validated this vision with successful tests on the International Space Station (2021–2022) along with the first commercial lunar data center hardware during the Freedom mission (2025). Capacity is set to grow from 15 PB in 2027 to 400 PB by 2032, with expansion plans toward exabytes and yottabytes on the Moon supported by SpaceX Starships.

With Lonestar, KIO’s mission to protect their clients’ information, now expands to a cosmic dimension, reaffirming its commitment to innovation, security, and sustainability. This alliance embodies KIO’s purpose of disrupting human limits through technology, ushering in a new era in the protection of humanity’s digital legacy.

Policy Address by Hong Kong SAR’s Chief Executive John Lee: Building an international hub for business, investment and new industries


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 September 2025 – Hong Kong’s Chief Executive, John Lee, in his 2025 Policy Address announced yesterday (September 17) set out a range of measures to diversify Hong Kong’s economy and reinforce the city’s status as an international hub for business, investment and new industrialisation.

“Backed by strong national support and a high degree of global connectivity, Hong Kong is recognised worldwide as an international centre in finance, trade and shipping, as well as in aviation, legal services and dispute resolution,” Mr Lee said. “The Government will fully leverage these institutional strengths to consolidate Hong Kong’s status as a premier international hub.”

Hong Kong SAR's Chief Executive John Lee attended the Legislative Council of Hong Kong SAR’s question and answer session on his 2025 Policy Address

To cement Hong Kong’s position as a leading global financial centre, Mr Lee said the Government’s strategy would include deepening the equity market, expanding a world-class bond market and a vibrant currency market, while advancing the insurance, asset and wealth management sectors. Key initiatives include:

  • Leveraging the Technology Enterprises Channel to assist Mainland technology enterprises in raising funds in Hong Kong, exploring shortening the stock settlement cycle to T+1, and encouraging more overseas enterprises to seek secondary listing in Hong Kong;
  • Further consolidating Hong Kong’s position as a bond market hub with a view to fostering interplay between various mutual market access mechanisms, establishing connections with markets such as Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates, and promoting the use of offshore Chinese Government Bonds as collateral in different clearing houses to further enrich the use cases of RMB assets; and
  • Enhancing the liquidity and global reach of the offshore RMB market in Hong Kong, including Government issuing more RMB bonds, and consider settling government expenditure in RMB under suitable circumstances.

“We will also expedite the development of new growth areas, building a premier international gold trading market, driving the development of fintech, as well as promoting green and sustainable finance,” Mr Lee said.

Initiatives on building an international gold trading market include establishing gold storage facilities, encouraging gold traders to set up or expand their refineries in Hong Kong, establishing a central clearing system for gold and offering a greater variety of gold investment vehicles by assisting issuers in issuing gold funds, and support the development of new investment products such as tokenised gold.

To boost Hong Kong’s status as an international trade centre, the Chief Executive said the Government would deepen international economic and trade networks by exploring the signing of new investment agreements with overseas economies, expanding the city’s network of Economic and Trade Offices around the world with an office to be established in Kuala Lumpur this year, and promoting the digitalisation of trade.

“Under ‘One Country, Two Systems’, Hong Kong enjoys the unique advantages of attracting overseas enterprises and assisting Mainland enterprises to go global,” Mr Lee said. “In the past, we focused primarily on bringing in enterprises, achieving remarkable growth and success. The new opportunities ahead for Hong Kong, however, will come from helping Mainland enterprises expand abroad.”

The Chief Executive said he would establish a one‑stop platform by mobilising Hong Kong’s overseas offices as well as Hong Kong offices in the Mainland, and set up the Task Force on Supporting Mainland Enterprises in Going Global (GoGlobal Task Force) to encourage Mainland enterprises to use Hong Kong in expanding their businesses overseas.

“With the sustained growth in the output of new industries, the Government will step up its efforts to nurture emerging industries locally and attract those from outside Hong Kong, promoting the diversified development of our economy,” Mr Lee said.

The Financial Secretary, Paul Chan, said in a press conference today (September 18) on the 2025 Policy Address, that attracting enterprises to set up and develop in Hong Kong is a crucial component of the city’s industry development and reform, and Hong Kong needs to formulate preferential policy packages to achieve this.

To foster the life and health technology research sector, the Government will attract more pharmaceutical companies to set up operations in Hong Kong to conduct clinical trials and medical treatments for rare disease drugs, high‑end cancer drugs and advanced therapy products, and set up the Hong Kong Centre for Medical Products Regulation.

To promote the development of the new energy industry, the Government will develop a sustainable aviation fuel industry chain, develop the GBA Hydrogen Corridor in collaboration with the Guangdong Province, and push forward the construction of Hong Kong’s first large‑scale electric vehicle (EV) battery recycling facility at the EcoPark, which is expected to commence operation in the first half of 2026.

“Today, Hong Kong is at the critical juncture of advancing from stability to prosperity,” Mr Lee said. “We are moving through an irreversible economic transition, but it is an essential process for a stronger and more robust economy in the future.”

QL Biopharm reports Phase 2 results of a monthly dose study evaluating zovaglutide, a novel, extended half-life GLP-1 receptor agonist at EASD 2025

  • Patients who received zovaglutide at a once-monthly dose of 160 mg experienced a 13.8% reduction in body weight at 24 weeks, highly comparable to reductions observed in patients who received 80 mg every other week (12.5%)
  • The overall safety and tolerability of zovaglutide were consistent and comparable with the GLP-1 receptor agonist class of obesity management drugs
  • Gastrointestinal adverse events were observed less in the once-monthly 160 mg dose group in comparison to those receiving 80 mg biweekly

BEIJING, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Beijing QL Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (hereafter “QL Biopharm” or the “company”) announced today at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) annual meeting that its novel experimental therapy in the management of obesity met both its primary and secondary endpoints in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial. The study consisted of a multi-center evaluation of the efficacy, safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of zovaglutide, a novel, long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist (RA) that was conducted in overweight or obese subjects.

The principal investigator of the study, Dr. Linong Ji of the Peking University People’s Hospital, oversaw this trial entitled “Once-Monthly Zovaglutide (ZT002) for the Treatment of Overweight or Obesity in Adults: A Phase 2 Study” on behalf of the company. As presented by Dr. Ji at the EASD conference, a total of 303 overweight or obese subjects were randomized to receive subcutaneous injections of placebo (n=51) or zovaglutide at maximum doses of 80 mg (n=75) or 160 mg (n=76) administered once monthly (Q4W), or 80 mg (n=50) or 160 mg (n=51) delivered every two weeks (Q2W), for 24 weeks – inclusive of a dose escalation and a dose maintenance period. The primary endpoint was the percent change in body weight from baseline after 24 weeks of treatment, and secondary endpoints included the proportion of subjects with weight loss of ≥5%, ≥10%, ≥15% after 24 weeks of treatment, absolute change in body weight from baseline, cardiometabolic risk factors, and safety/tolerability indicators.

The Phase 2 study’s principal findings are as follows:

  • Efficacy: The efficacy of zovaglutide in all dose groups (80 mg Q4W, 160 mg Q4W, 80 mg Q2W and 160 mg Q2W) at 24 weeks was better than that of the placebo group: percent change in body weight from baseline was -10.6%, -13.8%, -12.5% and -14.4% vs. -2.4%, respectively, with p-value <0.0001, and no plateau of efficacy was achieved over the duration of the study. The proportion of participants who lost ≥5% of their body weight from baseline by 24 weeks was 89.9%, 97.1%, 93.6% and 93.9% vs. 13.0%, respectively. 
  • Safety and tolerability: Zovaglutide was tolerated well in all dose groups, and the overall incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events (AEs) was similar to that of marketed GLP-1 RA products. The most common treatment-related AEs were nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, all which occurred mainly during the GLP-1 RA common dose escalation period.  Thereafter, these AEs decreased after the target dose was reached. Most AEs were mild or moderate in severity. Only one case (1.3%) of discontinuation occurred due to gastrointestinal AEs, which was significantly lower than that of similar GLP-1 RA drugs.
  • Efficacy and safety in Q4W groups: The efficacy of zovaglutide in the 160 mg Q4W group was comparable to that of the 80 mg Q2W group.  However, fewer gastrointestinal AEs occurred during the maintenance therapy period in the 160 mg Q4W group in comparison to the 80 mg Q2W group (both groups receiving the same total monthly dose of zovaglutide). Further, the efficacy of zovaglutide in the 160 mg Q4W and 80 mg Q4W groups was dose-dependent.
  • Other benefits of zovaglutide observed included improved cardiometabolic risk indicators including waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipids, and liver function tests.
  • Conclusion: The results of this Phase 2 study support the continued evaluation of once-a-month zovaglutide in a Phase 3 pivotal study in overweight and obese subjects.

Lead investigator Dr. Ji stated: “At present, GLP-1 RAs in the field of obesity treatment are dosed weekly, and there is a huge unmet clinical demand for longer-acting drugs.  Monthly dosing is therefore one of the main research and development directions of the next generation of GLP-1 RA drugs. Zovaglutide – with an innovative dual-fatty acid chain design – has the advantage of being long-acting, enabling continuous and efficient weight loss treatment through a monthly dosing regimen, with good safety and tolerability, thereby significantly improving the convenience of long-term weight management and improving the quality of life of patients. We look forward to the follow-up of zovaglutide and opening a new era of monthly dosing in the field of obesity treatment. “

Dr. Xujia Zhang, Founder, Chairman and CEO of QL Biopharm stated: “We are very pleased to report the latest research results of the company’s zovaglutide monthly formulation program at the 2025 EASD conference. This is a significant milestone that represents QL Biopharm’s leading position in the GLP-1 RA monthly formulation world, fully reflecting the company’s patient-centric philosophy, differentiated product development strategy, and efficient project execution. We will advance the pivotal Phase 3 clinical study of zovaglutide in order to furnish a monthly formulation treatment plan that can benefit a majority of patients as soon as possible.”

About zovaglutide (ZT002)

The Phase 2 results of Zovaglutide demonstrate that this GLP1 RA may be the world’s first GLP-1 RA requiring only once-monthly delivery. An innovative, dual-fatty acid chain modification to the peptide significantly enhances its binding affinity to albumin in the blood. This enhanced binding confers a long half-life to the peptide that supports monthly administration. While maintaining safety and efficacy, zovaglutide can improve patient compliance and has the potential to become the drug of choice for long-term weight management with a GLP-1 RA agent. Zovaglutide is currently being evaluated in a Phase 3 clinical trial.

INFOFLA Challenges Global Giants with ‘Selto,’ a Secure On-Premises AI Agent for Enterprise Automation – and Prepares to Launch Consumer AI Service

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As the era of task-executing AI agents arrives, Korean startup INFOFLA is entering the global market with its independently developed AI agent, Selto. In a landscape marked by competition from global tech giants, INFOFLA is pursuing a “David strategy” by offering a differentiated solution centered on enhanced security, practical automation, and deep customization for enterprise needs. At the same time, the company is expanding into the consumer market with the launch of its first B2C service later this month.

Selto’s primary distinction is its on-premises deployment option. Unlike most cloud-based AI agents, Selto can be installed and operated directly on a company’s own servers. This architecture offers superior data security, making it an ideal solution for security-sensitive sectors such as finance, government, and large enterprises that require robust data control.

At the core of Selto is its “Seeing AI” technology, which leverages a Vision Language Model (VLM) to recognize and interpret on-screen content, allowing it to perform tasks as if a human were operating the computer. This unique capability enables full automation in environments where API integration is difficult, such as with ERP systems, accounting software, and legacy applications. The latest V2 update further enhances its practicality with features like conditional branching, variable functions, and screen learning validation.

“Selto bridges the technology gap with global players while incorporating differentiated features tailored to the market,” said In-Mook Choi, CEO of INFOFLA. “Beyond successful deployments in Korean government agencies and major e-commerce platforms, Selto is also receiving strong feedback from proof-of-concept (PoC) projects in the finance and insurance sectors.”

Selto has already proven its effectiveness in real-world scenarios, including automating loan screening in the financial sector and product registration in e-commerce. With these successes, INFOFLA plans to advance its “small but strong David strategy” with Selto on the global stage.

In addition to its enterprise-focused innovations, INFOFLA is preparing to introduce features originally developed for B2B services—such as its advanced chatbot and OCR capabilities—into consumer-facing products. The new B2C service is scheduled for official launch at the end of September, with a paid model to follow in October. This expansion underscores INFOFLA’s commitment to bringing enterprise-grade AI capabilities directly to individual users, further diversifying its growth strategy.

About INFOFLA

INFOFLA is an innovative Korean startup specializing in AI-powered business automation solutions. With a vision to “enable people to focus on more creative work,” the company develops AI agents that handle complex and repetitive business tasks. Its flagship product, Selto, is a next-generation AI agent that combines security and practicality and is gaining recognition across industries including finance, the public sector, and e-commerce.

WiMi Researches a Quantum Machine Learning Framework for Enhanced Privacy Protection

BEIJING, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WiMi) (“WiMi” or the “Company”), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality (“AR”) Technology provider, today announced that they are committed to developing a hybrid quantum-classical model that combines the acceleration capabilities of quantum computing with the stability of classical computers, using differential privacy optimization algorithms to protect data privacy. The key aspect of this model lies in how to incorporate differential privacy mechanisms into the design of quantum circuits, as well as how to evaluate the balance between privacy protection effectiveness and model performance during the simulation and testing phases.

The hybrid model uses a quantum layer to handle feature extraction and complex transformations, while the classical layer is responsible for implementing differential privacy protection and making final decisions. The quantum layer leverages the superposition and entanglement properties of quantum bits to achieve efficient data encoding and information extraction. The classical layer, on the other hand, uses established differential privacy techniques by adding appropriate noise to obscure the impact of individual data points. Based on the output from the quantum layer, the classical layer applies differential privacy mechanisms such as Laplace noise or Gaussian noise to ensure that the model’s sensitivity to individual data changes remains below a predefined threshold. At the same time, by adjusting the noise level and model complexity, the model seeks the optimal balance between privacy protection and model accuracy. Due to the limitations of current quantum hardware, the model is initially tested through simulation on classical computers to verify the effectiveness of the differential privacy mechanism and assess its impact on model performance.

The hybrid quantum-classical model developed by WiMi strengthens privacy protection and effectively prevents the leakage of sensitive information. The introduction of differential privacy protection technology increases the model’s tolerance to noise and data perturbations, helping to improve its generalization ability and opening new pathways for the practical application of quantum computing.

In the future, with advancements in quantum technology and the deepening of differential privacy quantum machine learning theory, we anticipate the emergence of more innovative applications in fields such as medical data analysis and financial risk assessment. Quantum machine learning will usher in a new era of data science, protecting privacy while unlocking new possibilities.
