During his opening speech, Frank Lu, Vice President of Huawei’s ISP & OTT BU, spoke about the new opportunities awaiting ISPs thanks to the acceleration of global digital transformation and the surge in B2B services, such as government and enterprise private lines and cloud interconnection. ISPs must focus on the future, prioritizing strategic foresight, differentiated services, and efficiency improvement. They need to plan their networks ahead of time by designing a 3–5 year roadmap from a global perspective, shaping business trends proactively rather than merely responding reactively.

Ado Du, CEO of Huawei’s Wide Area Network Domain, took the opportunity during his keynote speech to explain how Huawei’s One ISP One Network target architecture helps ISPs develop their B2B services through three key strategies: (1) Build an agile, flexible, and modular architecture that decouples networks from services, enabling rapid service rollout and efficient network expansion. (2) Provide full-lifecycle services centered on user experience and deliver differentiated experiences through SRv6 and ROADM technologies. (3) Promote intelligent O&M to enable fast service provisioning, fault self-healing, and more efficient O&M.

At the roundtable, representatives from Iraq’s DIL Technology for Communications and South Africa’s Vumatel shared their experience in facilitating B2B services through their networks. And discussions involving active participation by ISP experts offered valuable suggestions on network planning and construction. The event also saw Huawei releasing its One ISP One Network Whitepaper, which thoroughly analyzes ISP industry trends, target architecture, and the evolution roadmap. This whitepaper aims to help customers monetize network resources and unlock network value.

Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to strengthen its innovation and investment in the ISP sector, partnering with customers to drive mutual success in the new era of industry intelligence.

Flora Growth Corp. (FLGC) Announces $401 Million Funding with a $22.88 Million Strategic Investment from Defi Development Corp. (DFDV) to Initiate Groundbreaking AI Zero Gravity ($0G) Coin Treasury Strategy

$0G, the native cryptocurrency of the distributed AI infrastructure project 0G, will serve as the company’s primary reserve asset

  • Partners include DeFi Dev Corp., the first digital asset treasury company to accumulate and compound Solana
  • Flora to rebrand as ZeroStack and appoint 0G’s Co-Founder, Michael Heinrich, to the role of Executive Chairman and Daniel Reis-Faria as CEO
  • $0G is the first-to-market AI-based Digital Asset Treasury

Fort Lauderdale, Florida–(Newsfile Corp. – September 19, 2025) – Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) (“Flora” or the “Company”) today announced the pricing of a private investment in public equity offering, positioning the Company to implement a 0G treasury strategy. 0G is the largest AI-first blockchain that is infinitely scalable and designed to power the future of distributed AI. Upon close of the transaction, the company expects to rebrand as ZeroStack and retain the “FLGC” ticker symbol.

The offering is led by DeFi Dev Corp., the first DAT designed to accumulate and compound Solana (SOL), Hexstone Capital, and Carlsberg SE Asia PTE Ltd (CSAPL) as well as participation by many others such as Dao5, Abstract ventures, Dispersion Capital, Blockchain Builders Fund, and Salt.

With over $366 million secured in in-kind digital assets and $35 million in cash and equivalent commitments, the Company has entered into a private placement transaction (“PIPE transaction”) for the purchase and sale of the Company’s common shares (including pre-funded warrants) at a purchase price of $25.19 per share and a value of $3.00 per each $0G token contributed in-kind and certain in-kind loans. Certain cash investors and investors who choose to fund their purchases with $0G tokens will receive pre-funded warrants exercisable once the company receives shareholder approval.

“We’re thrilled to partner with FLGC on this fundraise and look forward to driving a deep collaboration between 0g and Solana. DFDV is excited to support AI adoption across Solana,” said Joseph Onorati, CEO of Defi Development Corp. In addition, the Company will be holding a small portion of its treasury holdings in SOL tokens as part of the collaboration.

Following the closing of the PIPE Transaction, which is expected to occur on or around September 26, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, the Company intends to use the proceeds of the PIPE Transaction to acquire additional $0G, the native cryptocurrency of the 0G ecosystem.

0G has achieved what many considered impossible in decentralized AI, successfully training a 107 billion parameter model using distributed clusters over low-throughput internet connections. This represents a 357x improvement over existing research from Google (DiLoCo) and demonstrates that large-scale AI models can be trained effectively without centralized infrastructure and that distributed networks can handle the computational complexity previously thought to require massive, centralized data centers. 0G is the first-ever Web3 AI company to vertically integrate its own proprietary storage network, compute network, and training marketplace to fully decentralize AI workloads. This infrastructure is bundled into an all-in-one operating system, offering highly performant AI tools for seamless integration by Web2 and Web3 builders.

“AI isn’t just transforming what companies do, it’s transforming how they must build infrastructure. This treasury strategy offers institutional investors equity-based exposure to the foundational infrastructure enabling transparent, verifiable, large-scale, cost-efficient, and privacy-first AI development,” said Daniel Reis-Faria, incoming Flora Growth CEO.

About the Company
Flora, which will be rebranded as ZeroStack, is the first and largest decentralized AI treasury company that is investing in the future of AI infrastructure through strategic ownership in 0G, an AI infrastructure company that has created an open and decentralized AI network fueled by the $0G token. The Company is a global pharmaceutical distributor through its wholly owned subsidiary Phatebo GmbH.
