LILYSILK Launches First-Ever Activewear Line with Innovative SILKERRY™ Fabric

NEW YORK, Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LILYSILK, the world’s leading silk brand dedicated to inspiring people to live spectacular, sustainable lives, has unveiled the SILKERRY™ Collection, its first activewear line crafted from the brand’s proprietary silk-enhanced terry fabric. Designed to unite luxury with ease, SILKERRY™ combines the breathable plushness of cotton terry with the naturally cooling, skin-friendly qualities of high-content natural silk. The launch marks LILYSILK’s entry into the modern activewear category, offering pieces that transition effortlessly from yoga studios to urban streets.

LILYSILK Launches First-Ever Activewear Line: SILKERRY™
LILYSILK Launches First-Ever Activewear Line: SILKERRY™

SILKERRY™ redefines terry fabric by weaving natural silk fibers directly into the cotton terry interior, creating an ultra-smooth surface that glides over skin, reduces friction, and helps maintain freshness through silk’s natural antimicrobial properties. Its high thermal conductivity draws heat away for instant cooling, while moisture-wicking capabilities keep the wearer comfortable during movement. The outer layer of natural cotton terry provides structure, breathability, and durability, ensuring each piece retains its shape and softness through repeated wear and washing.

The creation of SILKERRY™ is rooted in LILYSILK’s 15 years of consumer research, which identified a shift in modern lifestyles. Activewear has evolved beyond gym use into an everyday wardrobe staple, with consumers seeking garments that combine functional versatility with refined aesthetics. LILYSILK’s response is a collection that meets this demand, offering a seamless balance of elegance and versatility.

“Activewear isn’t just for the gym anymore. As fitness, work, and life blend seamlessly, people expect apparel that delivers both style and elegance,” said David Wang, CEO of LILYSILK. “SILKERRY™ brings the luxury of silk into movement apparel, creating pieces that move effortlessly from yoga mats to city streets.”

The debut SILKERRY™ Collection introduces three distinct style lines, each with its own concept and signature piece, and all available in four versatile colorways—Black, Heather, Espresso, and Blush Pink. Seamflow, inspired by the rhythm and structure of city life, blends polished design with easy movement, highlighted by the hip-length, oversized Seamflow Verge Hoodie with practical pockets and a smooth zip closure. Porchlight captures the warmth and ease of everyday living, offering relaxed yet refined silhouettes such as the soft-waistband Porchlight Lounge Shorts, ideal from home to café. Heirloom ’89 pays tribute to timeless classics with a touch of vintage sport, anchored by the roomy yet refined Heirloom ’89 Zip Jacket, designed for comfort, confidence, and lasting style.

Pony.ai Attracts Premium Capital as Funds Chase the Next Tech Transformation

GUANGZHOU, China, Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Leading investment management firms are backing Pony.ai.

Recent corporate filings reveal ARK Invest, Cathie Wood’s firm, invested roughly US$12.9 million in the Chinese autonomous driving company in August. This marks ARK’s first investment in a Chinese firm solely focused on Level 4 (L4) autonomous driving technology development and commercialization.

ARK wasn’t alone in backing Pony.ai. Exchange and corporate filings reveal the robotaxi operator attracted at least 14 major global institutional investors in Q2, including prominent names like Baillie Gifford and Nikko Asset Management – firms renowned for successful investments in Tesla, Tencent, Alibaba, and Meituan. This broad backing stands in sharp contrast to many U.S. investors shifting away from Chinese assets amid geopolitical tensions and tariffs clouding the growth outlook.

ARK’s strategy is clear: invest in emerging high-tech companies Wood believes can transform industries. As detailed in ARK’s “Big Ideas 2025” report, the firm projected the ride-hailing market could surge to a US$10 trillion value by 2030, with global robotaxi fleets potentially reaching around 50 million vehicles. As Wood has emphasized, a robotaxi company’s success hinges significantly on its cost optimization. Pony.ai’s recent earnings and outlook provided compelling reasons for investor confidence.

In Q2, the company reported a striking 158% year-on-year increase in robotaxi revenues. This growth was supported by the ramped-up production of its seventh-generation robotaxi models. By expanding its fleet and securing more regulatory permits in densely populated urban centers, Pony.ai is meeting rising user demand.

More importantly, Pony.ai outlined a clear path to profitability – offering the rare certainty investors seek.

Founder and CEO James Peng highlighted key factors in a recent CNBC interview: “Unit economics are paramount. The Gen-7 vehicle boasts a 70% lower cost than its predecessor. We’ve also significantly reduced operational costs: our remote assistant-to-vehicle ratio has been significantly improved and it is expected to hit 1:30 by the end of the year, insurance costs fell 18%, and ground support and charging operations are more efficient.”

“Based on these metrics,” Peng added, “we are confident in Gen-7’s unit-level profitability. Further scaling the fleet will then drive corporate-level profitability.” Pony.ai targets a fleet of 1,000 robotaxis by year-end – a threshold the company believes will achieve positive unit economics. Progress is rapid: just two months after unveiling Gen-7 at the late-April Shanghai Auto Show, around 200 new vehicles have rolled off production lines, bringing the total fleet to roughly 500 units.

Beyond production, Pony.ai is accelerating user acquisition. Regulators recently granted the company a commercial permit to operate fare-charging services in parts of Shanghai’s Pudong areas, the financial heart of the eastern Chinese city. This makes Pony.ai the only company with fully-driverless commercial permits across all four Chinese tier-1 megacities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen).

Service hours have also expanded to 24/7 in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Furthermore, a recent partnership will integrate Pony.ai’s robotaxi service into Tencent’s ubiquitous WeChat platform, unlocking access to its massive user base exceeding one billion.

Bolstered by a clearer commercial outlook and solid safety and tech validation, Pony.ai is winning favor not just with funds, but also recognition from analysts. Following the Q2 earnings release, major institutions including Goldman Sachs, Huatai, UBS, and Daiwa all rated the stock “buy”. Goldman set a price target of US$24.5, indicating 54.5% upside compared to Pony.ai’s closing price of US$15.86 on August 15.

UBS analysts, in an Aug. 5 research note, stated: “By the late 2030s, we expect the robotaxi market value to reach US$183 billion in China and US$394 billion in international markets excluding the U.S., assuming gradual operational expansion and improving regulatory clarity.” Pony.ai is best positioned for robotaxi commercialization, the UBS analysts added.

Aon Announces Strategic Investment in eMed to Scale GLP-1 Population Health Platform

Strategic investment is accelerating the transformation of employer-focused obesity solutions to boost adherence, retention and deliver breakthrough health outcomes with cost savings

DUBLIN, Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today announced a strategic investment in eMed Population Health, Inc., an emerging leader in the delivery of GLP-1 programs. The partnership will enhance employer sponsored access to GLP-1 therapies and scale solutions for obesity.

The investment follows the launch earlier this year of Aon’s subsidized GLP-1 weight management benefit program for its U.S. workforce – developed by eMed – which has delivered strong adherence, high retention and sustainable results for the firm’s colleagues. In the sixth months since Aon’s program launched, more than 1,200 people have registered and the firm has seen an average of 22.4 pounds lost with a retention rate of 95 percent.

With this investment, eMed will continue to increase distribution of its digital-first healthcare platform — which combines at-home diagnostics, proctor-led screenings, clinician-guided prescribing, and continuous adherence support—to reach more employers and patients.

“As the leader of Aon’s People Organization, I know how important it’s been to include GLP-1 coverage as part of our own U.S. Total Rewards strategy,” said Lisa Stevens, Chief Administrative Officer for Aon. “When you see the benefits it brings to people you work with every day, it really underscores how the decisions employers make today shape the future health and performance of our workforces and our businesses.”

Stevens added: “This strategic investment in eMed enables our firm to have an active role in offering a global solution that is focused on medication adherence that will be differentiated in the marketplace in helping employers reduce long-term health costs while improving the quality of life for their people. By aligning innovation with behavior change and accountability, together we can deliver sustainable results at scale.”

The collaboration marks a major milestone in eMed’s mission to deliver effective and sustainable care through an integrated, data-driven experience, while expanding its provider network, behavioral health tools and market reach.

“Today marks a game-changing partnership between Aon and eMed and is a win for both payers and participants,” said Linda Yaccarino, CEO of eMed Population Health, Inc. “Our shared vision of market transformation is validated and accelerated by the investment from Aon. This strategic investment in eMed further enables our firm to play an active role in offering a differentiated global solution focused on medication adherence – helping employers reduce long-term health costs while improving quality of life for their people.”

Aon continues to build a complimentary suite of GLP-1 solutions, industry-leading experience and advisory capabilities for clients. In April, Aon unveiled findings from its multi-year analysis of U.S. commercial health claims data, which evidenced the transformative potential of GLP-1 medications in managing obesity and improving health outcomes. 

“The rise of GLP-1 medications and its cost has sparked significant strategic considerations from employers looking to address obesity and other chronic conditions,” said Farheen Dam, Head of Health for North America at Aon. “We know that GLP-1s are not a one size fits all strategy. This is why data, modelling and strategic guidance from our clinical, actuarial and pharmacy teams help employers build GLP-1s strategies that fit their population and objectives.”

About eMed
eMed® is the world’s first end-to-end GLP-1 care platform built on Empathetic AI™. From remote diagnostics and clinician-led prescriptions to adherence coaching and insights, eMed empowers employers to manage population health with accountability and compassion. Learn more at www.eMed.com
