KUNSHAN, China, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The 2025 Cross-Strait (Kunshan) Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival officially began with a lighting ceremony attended by local officials and community representatives on September 29 in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province. A series of public programs and cultural activities will continue through the end of October.

Centered on the theme “Twin Blossoms, Shared Lights,” this year’s festival features advanced light and visual technologies to showcase the outcomes of industrial collaboration and financial innovation between Kunshan and Taiwan. The event also aims to strengthen cultural, tourism, and economic exchanges across the Strait. 

The festival takes place across two main locations: Huiju Square and Zhouzhuang Ancient Town. At Huiju Square, the “Deer” and “Flowers” theme is brought to life through drone shows and interactive robot performances inspired by Kunqu Opera featuring floral hairpins and water sleeves, blending traditional artistry with modern innovation. In Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, themed lantern installations throughout the park offer a scenic setting where visitors can experience the town’s historical charm and cultural heritage. 

Kunshan Huiju Square serves as a central gathering place for public interactions between communities across the Strait, jointly developed by the CPC Kunshan Municipal Committee and Municipal Government in partnership with like-minded Taiwanese firms. On September 29, city leaders announced an improvement plan for the area, outlining continued enhancements to its environmental amenities, entertainment spaces, and facilities supporting cultural and industrial innovation.

Recent cultural exchange initiatives in Kunshan have included the “Cross-Strait Pastel Artists Invitational Exhibition – 10th Anniversary Special Exhibition” and “A Unique Art, Shared Roots Across the Strait – Kunqu Opera Art Collection Exhibition.” During the festival, award-winning entries from the 6th Lantern Design Competition will be on view. The program also includes the 2025 Kunshan Taiwanese Business Community Mid-Autumn Fellowship, Cross-Strait Cultural and Arts Performances, and Cross-Strait Folk Culture Day, all designed to celebrate shared traditions and deepen connections among people on both sides of the Strait. 

Kunshan remains one of the mainland’s leading centers for Taiwanese investment, hosting the largest concentration of Taiwanese companies and a robust network for economic, trade, and cultural exchange. Approximately 100,000 Taiwanese residents and businesspeople live and work in the city. The Kunshan Pilot Zone for Deepening Cross-Strait Industrial Cooperation has achieved steady progress in recent years. As of August 2025, Kunshan had approved 6,188 Taiwanese-funded projects with total investment exceeding US$70.8 billion. 

SUBANG, Indonesia, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As Indonesia accelerates its efforts to strengthen food security and modernize agriculture, leading players in the field are turning to new technologies to address challenges such as labor shortages and rising production costs. This season, amidst pushes for rice self-sufficiency and increasing climate unpredictability, the introduction of XAG agricultural drones at Sang Hyang Seri (SHS) marks an important milestone in the country’s agricultural innovation.

SHS, a state-owned enterprise and one of Indonesia’s most recognized rice companies, manages around 5,000 hectares of rice paddies and plays a crucial role in the nation’s rice supply. According to Dasep Setiawan, farm manager at SHS Sukamandi, the shift from labor-intensive practices to digital and precise farming methods represents a significant turning point for the farm, even though SHS is still at the early stages of this transformation.

These changes align with national action plans set by the government and reflect recent reports from the Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development, which highlight the importance of precision agriculture and automation for increasing yields and improving resource efficiency.

Since early 2025, with support from PT Blessed Bentara Agri Indonesia, XAG’s local distributor, SHS began trialing the P100 Pro drones across 15 hectares of rice paddies. The trials leveraged high-capacity autonomous spraying and spreading technology to enhance daily operations and streamline field management.

Transport logistics in Indonesia can be a major hurdle, especially for large-scale farms that operate across remote or scattered fields. The foldable design of the XAG P100 Pro reduces storage space requirements, making transport between rice paddies easy and safe even by motorcycle or minivan. Setiawan explained, “With the drone, we can have a high degree of mobility. This is important for our needs since we have to move between fields quickly, sometimes on just a moment’s notice.”

Precision crop protection is another benefit. As one of the classic models in XAG P Series agricultural drone, the trusted P100 Pro has been widely adopted on farms worldwide over the past two years, delivering highly precise and consistent results. It comes equipped with the XAG RevoSpray system and a 50-liter smart liquid tank, capable of spraying at a flow rate of up to 22 liters per minute. Setiawan said, “Now, pesticide spraying is much more accurate. We can control the dosage, the speed, and the height all through the app before every mission. Coverage is also more uniform compared to manual spraying, which used to have a lot of inconsistencies.”

Studies from the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture support these observations. Research shows that drone-based spraying can reduce chemical use by up to 30 percent while increasing the uniformity of application and minimizing operator exposure to agrochemicals. SHS fields managed with the P100 Pro is expected to show improved pest management and crop health, particularly during the busiest planting and harvesting periods.

The drone’s RevoCast system extends its functionality to fertilizer and seed spreading. With an 80-liter tank and an ability to spread up to 150 kilograms per minute, the system allows for efficient and even application. Setiawan noted that “spreading fertilizer manually can easily lead to uneven distribution and waste. With the drone, the coverage is much more even, which directly affects yield and input savings.”

SHS drone pilot Adam Dalah Agung, who oversees daily drone operations, has seen these benefits firsthand. “Drones have greatly improved efficiency. With the P100 Pro, you can spray or spread fertilizer on large areas alone. In the past, the same work needed at least ten people.” He added, “Every parameter can be set on the XAG One app. The operation is simple, monitoring is clear, and we can complete a day’s work in just a few hours. It really saves a lot of time and reduces workload.”

While SHS is experiencing substantial efficiency gains, management also considers the social impact of introducing advanced machinery to farming communities. Both Setiawan and Agung believe technology should empower farmers to develop new skills rather than replace rural livelihoods. To support this, the company is piloting training sessions for farmers who want to learn about drone operation and digital agriculture.

Interest in the XAG agricultural drones is spreading among other large-scale producers. As climate variability and rising food demand shape each season’s priorities, the adoption of drone technology is providing a clear pathway for management-led transformation, helping growers achieve more consistent yields and greater resource efficiency. “Many visiting farmers want to see and try the technology for themselves. We believe more companies and farmers across Indonesia will follow this path,” Setiawan said.

Fashion Designer activists unite during the United Nations General Assembly to spotlight the need to scale up diverse fashion brands supporting the Sustainable Development Goals

NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Redress, the Asia-focused NGO accelerating circular fashion together with the United Nations Fashion and Lifestyle Network (UNFLN), which plays a central role in advancing sustainable development by connecting industry stakeholders, media, governments, and United Nations entities, co-organised a high impact delegation and panel discussion of pioneering fashion designer activists, representing India, the Philippines and USA, within the SDG Media Zone at the United Nations General Assembly. With the mainstream global fashion industry generally failing to adopt adequate sustainable and ethical responses to fashion’s polluting and harmful ways, as sustainability takes a backseat and industry executives prioritise other opportunities^[1], the delegation called for support of established ethical and responsible fashion and lifestyle brands that already work to achieve multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in often far-reaching, developing world supply chains.

Fashion activists on the designer-led industry panel discussion, Damini Mittai (India), Jann Christian Lim Bungcaras (Philippines) and Isabella Li Kostrzewa (USA), discussed their works that are focused on key global fashion themes, including intersectional environmental justice, cultural identity, social inequality, gender inequality, overconsumption and textile waste colonialism.

“Fashion must be more than just creativity and commerce,” said Dr. Christina Dean, Founder of Redress. “Fashion needs more of an ethical heart and soul to address our planetary challenges. There are countless inspiring brands globally making more than just clothes; they are making positive impacts at various Sustainable Development Goals. From consumers to investors, we must spotlight and empower these businesses to give them a rightful seat at the global fashion table.”

Building momentum together: The United Nations Fashion and Lifestyle Network welcomes Redress’ Alumni designers

This delegation and event collaboration signified Redress as a member of the United Nations Fashion and Lifestyle Network, the organisation that enables collaboration between industries and the United Nations system, accelerates innovation and knowledge sharing, and elevates the contributions of members driving positive impact worldwide that have significant global traction.

“As the United Nations Secretary-General reminded us on the International Day of Zero Waste, fashion must make good sense for both people and planet,” said Kerry Bannigan, Co-Founder of the United Nations Fashion and Lifestyle Network and President of the Board, PVBLIC Foundation. “Fashion significantly influences numerous aspects of society, from employment and gender equality to innovation and cultural expression. The choices we make in this sector today profoundly affect the world we live in tomorrow.”

Redress’ global network of ethical fashion designers, who are Alumni of the world’s largest sustainable fashion design competition, the Redress Design Award, were outreached and supported in joining the UNFLN. The goal was to bring more fashion advocates, particularly those from Asia, into the UNFLN’s global network and to encourage industry stakeholders to demonstrate solutions and scale their impact. Through convenings, education and advocacy, Redress and UNFLN will continue to highlight sustainable practices and empower businesses to lead change.

Spotlighting Asia – and bringing more Asian designers into the network – is critical 

Asia is pivotal in achieving fashion’s global sustainability efforts. Asia accounts for some 60% of global exports of garments and textiles^[2], with approximately 60 million workers being employed in Asia’s garment manufacturing^[3]. Asia is also hit hardest by climate change, with the region heating up faster than the global average^[4]. Asia-focused Redress’ Alumni designers primarily come from Asia.

Damini Mittai, Founder and Designer, Koaka Collective, India, said “My work with marginalised female rural communities in India aims to foster sustainable livelihoods through skills-building and collective action, working against gender equality and the injustice of climate change.”

Jann Christian Lim Bungcaras, Founder, Creative Director and Designer, Jann Bungcaras Fashion House, Philippines, said “The Philippines is awash with a modern textile waste colonialisation, from post consumer to industry waste, and as a developing country, we should not be seen as a dumping ground for waste.”

Isabella Li Kostrzewa, Artist, Isboko, USA, said “Here in my own country of USA, we have a gluttony of fashion overconsumption and we urgently need to inspire fashion consumers toward healthier fashion choices.”

Redress Alumni designers who have joined the UNFLN are: Damini Mittai (India), Jann Bungcaras (Philippines), Isabella Li Kostrzewa (USA), Aashita Jain (India), Ruyin Tian (China), Aarushi Kilawat (India), Ruwanthi Gajadeera (Sri Lanka); and from around the world Lívia Aguiar de Castro (Brazil), Louise Boase (Australia), Rachel Clowes (UK), Rose Brown (UK), Magdalena Malbran (Argentina), and Silvia Acién Parrilla (Spain).

Together, they represent a growing movement of ethical and responsible businesses showing that sustainable fashion can scale beyond individual projects into systemic industry transformation.

The AI platform can accurately retrieve information from its knowledge base to assist with various administrative tasks, significantly reducing teachers’ workload.”

Ms. Yeung Pui Ling, Principal of St. Matthew’s Lutheran School (Sau Mau Ping) shared: “Teachers face immense pressure in handling administrative work such as parent notices and policy document organisation. InnoAI Hub can automatically generate notices and policy summaries, saving time while minimising errors. More importantly, the platform features comprehensive data privacy protection, allowing teachers to use it with confidence.”

Nurturing Talent and Promoting Student Development

The “Student Talent Pool” assistant has been particularly well-received by schools. For secondary schools, the system integrates students’ academic performance, extracurricular activities, and special talents, helping teachers quickly match appropriate scholarships and further education pathways. Primary schools use the system to record students’ interests and skills, enabling instant matching of suitable participants for activities, ensuring every student has opportunities to develop their strengths.

The student commentary assistant provides valuable support to teachers. “Primary school students are at a crucial stage of personality and ability development,” Ms. Yeung Pui Ling explained. “The AI commentary assistant can generate specific and warm comments based on student performance, effectively enhancing home-school communication quality.”

Innovative Pilot Program Leading Educational Development

Gertrude Simon Lutheran College and St. Matthew’s Lutheran School (Sau Mau Ping) will pioneer the pilot program. The principals of both schools reported that teachers generally respond positively to AI tools, finding them practical and user-friendly. More importantly, students show keen interest in AI technology and actively explore its potential applications. “Students are not just users but future creators,” emphasised Dr. Leung Cheuk Fun, Principal of Gertrude Simon Lutheran College. “Learning to collaborate with AI in a secure environment effectively enhances their technological literacy and critical thinking skills.”

Looking Forward to a New Era of Smart Education

Mr. Leslie Yam, Head of Education , government and Special Accounts at Ricoh Hong Kong, added: “Ricoh InnoAI Hub is not just a technical platform but a bridge connecting educational innovation. Through precise application of RAG technology and strict privacy protection, we provide schools with safe and reliable AI solutions. This collaboration with the Lutheran Church Hong Kong Synod will serve as an industry benchmark, demonstrating how AI technology can enhance educational effectiveness, reduce teachers’ administrative burden, and create more development opportunities for students. We look forward to extending this successful experience to more schools, injecting new momentum into Hong Kong’s educational digital transformation.”
