LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — iGarden, a revolutionary garden robotics brand from Fairland Group dedicated to bringing joy to every family and inspiring artful living through innovations like the Swim Jet, Robotic Pool Cleaner, and more, has launched its “Free Pool Perfection Experience” — a fully immersive, in-home product trial campaign now available across California.

Running through September 5, the campaign lets pool owners test iGarden’s flagship products — the K Pro 150 pool cleaner and the Swim Jet P Series — for free at home, with expert support and full setup included. 

Experience It Your Way: Deep Dive or Flash

To suit different needs, the campaign offers two types of in-home experiences:

• Deep Dive Experience: iGarden team installs the K Pro 150 in the evening and retrieves it the next morning — giving your pool a full overnight deep clean. The next day, you can enjoy a fully refreshed swim space while trying out the Swim Jet P Series.
• Flash Experience: Perfect for busy families, this 1-hour guided session lets you test both products back-to-back with expert walkthroughs — all in one visit.

Simply head to the iGarden website and fill out a quick form to reserve your free in-home trial. You’ll receive personalized, one-on-one guidance from our expert team—covering delivery, setup, and usage tips—so you can experience the most innovative pool tech and a taste of artful outdoor living, all with zero pressure to purchase.

Two Flagship Devices, Built for Effortless Garden Joy

Picture this: It’s a quiet Saturday morning. The kids are still asleep, and your pool is already spotless — cleaned overnight by the K Pro 150, iGarden’s smartest pool cleaner. With a 15-hour runtime and AI-powered timer, it can run unattended for up to 21 days, keeping your pool spotless without you lifting a finger. No manual effort, no missed spots — just deep, reliable cleaning.

Guided by AI-powered 3D “S” navigation, the K Pro 150 navigates drains, steps, and curves with ease, covering floor, walls, and waterline. Need more power? Turbo 200% suction kicks in at a tap, powered by an advanced inverter control system. Touchscreen and app controls make operation easy — and it’s backed by a 3-year full-replacement warranty.

Later that day, with a single tap, your pool transforms again — this time into a wave playground. With one tap, the Swim Jet P Series brings the water to life. The Swim Jet P Series delivers a fan-shaped current that’s 2X wider than standard jets, so the whole family can move, play, and train together.

With five wave modes, from gentle flow to training resistance and a P5 “entertainment mode”, it adapts to any moment. Quick to install with a turnkey deck-drilling solution, app-enabled, and powered by a durable IP68 PMSM Motor, the Swim Jet P Series turns still water into shared fun experience — one wave at a time.

A 25% discount is also available on the iGarden Pool Cleaner K Pro 150 as part of this limited-time product trial experience. Reserve your free in-home trial now at: LINK.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn., Aug. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As part of our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and industry leadership in sustainable clinical research, LabConnect is proud to announce our partnership with Kits4Life, an initiative of the MedSurplus Alliance. This collaboration reflects our broader ESG strategy and strengthens LabConnect’s role as the world’s most agile and responsible central laboratory services provider. Through this partnership, LabConnect will work with sponsors and clinical sites to identify and manage eligible kits for donation, reducing landfill waste while contributing to global health equity. 

Clinical trials are essential to developing life-changing therapies, but they can also generate significant material waste—particularly unused and expired specimen collection kits. These kits often contain high-quality medical materials that, when responsibly redirected, can have a second life in communities with critical healthcare needs. “We are excited to partner with Kits4Life as a framework for recovering surplus clinical trial kits and ensuring they are ethically and safely donated to organizations,” states Julia Tarasenko, Chief Commercial & Strategy Officer at LabConnect.

LabConnect’s ESG strategy focuses on transforming clinical trials into a more sustainable and inclusive global enterprise. From carbon footprint reduction to ethical sourcing and community engagement, we are integrating environmental and social responsibility across the full lifecycle of clinical research. Our work with Kits4Life is one more way we are turning strategy into action—by diverting valuable materials from waste streams and redirecting them to improve lives.

“We believe that sustainability and scientific innovation are not mutually exclusive—they are mutually reinforcing. As the clinical research industry evolves, partnerships like this help chart a path forward where environmental responsibility and breakthrough therapies go hand in hand,” adds Tarasenko.

About LabConnect

LabConnect is the leading provider of Central Laboratory Services, FSP and Scientific Consulting, and Data Integration and Transformation Services for analytically and logistically complex studies such as immuno-oncology, cell and gene therapies, and rare & orphan diseases.

SINGAPORE, Aug. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Starting 8 August 2025, guests can look forward to a reimagined Singapore Flyer journey that traces the full arc of Singapore’s story, from ancient origins to modern marvels. In celebration of Singapore’s 60^th year of independence, Time Capsule – a two-storey multisensory attraction first opened in 2020 – has been transformed into a fully immersive pre-flight experience blending cutting-edge multimedia, interactive exhibits, and cinematic storytelling, all enhanced by a personalised web app. This prelude sets the stage for the Singapore Flyer journey, which culminates in breathtaking 360-degree views of the city skyline.

An Immersive Journey Through the Singapore Story

Singapore’s remarkable story comes alive through an interactive journey at Time Capsule led by R65, a time-travelling robot. Created in collaboration with creative studio Untitled Project, guests are transported back to the 1200s to uncover Singapore’s mythical legends and fascinating origins as a trading port, with full-screen video animations, projection mapping, and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology bringing each moment of history vividly to life. Guests can wander down an interactive Singapore River meandering through history, and step into nostalgia with a chess-tile concrete table set before a 300-degree projection wall chronicling Singapore’s transformation.

On Level 2, vibrant Peranakan-themed installations, LiDAR-enabled interactive games, and multimedia showcases explore Singapore’s identity and role on the world stage. For a personalised experience, guests may use the Time Capsule web app and complimentary WiFi to scan QR codes and delve deeper with life-sized characters, from traders to the indigenous Orang Laut. 

The immersive ground-level experience transitions seamlessly into the sky as guests board the Singapore Flyer, soaring 165 metres above the city and unlocking deeper insights into nearby landmarks with the FLYER360 mobile app powered by augmented reality. Time Capsule entry is included in every admission ticket, transforming the Singapore Flyer journey from a 30-minute ride into an integrated 75-minute adventure through Singapore’s inspiring evolution – from a humble settlement to a world-class city.  

Ringo Leung, General Manager of Singapore Flyer, said, “The reimagined Singapore Flyer journey invites everyone to experience the Singapore story in an entirely fresh and entertaining way, from the ground to the sky. By integrating immersive on-ground adventures with interactive in-capsule experiences, we aim to present a fun, multifaceted perspective of Singapore that goes beyond the traditional observation wheel experience.”

Featuring advanced FlowWash Mopping System, Twin-AI Dodge Obstacle Avoidance, and CarpetFocus Technology for next-level cleaning performance and intelligent automation.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Narwal, a global leader in smart home cleaning technology, announces the official launch of its flagship innovation, the Narwal Flow, available to consumers on August 7, 2025. Building on its legacy of award-winning, user-focused design, Narwal Flow sets a new benchmark for autonomous home cleaning by combining next-generation AI, powerful cleaning performance, and true maintenance-free convenience.

Unveiled to acclaim at CES 2025, Narwal Flow is engineered for households seeking the highest standards of cleanliness with minimal effort. This all-in-one robot vacuum and mop introduces industry-first features and advanced automation for a truly effortless clean. Since its CES debut, Narwal has actively recruited beta users and industry professionals to test the product in real-world scenarios. Incorporating their valuable feedback, the company has continuously refined the Flow’s performance and stability—culminating in a powerful, polished product ready for launch.

Key Features of the Narwal Flow:

• FlowWash Mopping System with EdgeReach™ Technology:
  Real-time, self-cleaning track mop design with dual water tanks circulates 113°F fresh water while collecting dirty water, keeping the mop clean throughout every cycle. Combined with a constant 12N pressure, this design delivers outstanding mopping performance often with just a single pass.
• Twin-AI Dodge Obstacle Avoidance: Equipped with dual 136° ultra-wide RGB cameras and an AI chip, the Flow recognizes over 200 types of objects (including cable, pet poop, socks, plastic bags, etc) in real-time, and avoids them with 5mm precision.
• CarpetFocus Technology: A solution tailored for carpet cleaning. Narwal Flow delivers powerful cleaning performance with suction reaching up to 22000 Pa. When a carpet is detected, the adaptive brush cover automatically lowers to create a sealed, high-pressure airflow zone, significantly boosting suction and extracting deeply embedded dust and hair. The robot also lifts its mop to keep carpets dry and uses a dual-pass zigzag cleaning path for thorough results. This innovative design boosts suction power by up to 182% and doubles the pick-up rate on carpets.
• Full coverage cleaning: EdgeReach™ technology enables the mop to clean within just 0.19 inches of walls and corners for complete edge coverage. When tackling corners, its side brush intelligently reverses rotation, extending movable bristles to widen the cleaning diameter to reach the corner. A 1.6-inch (4 cm) obstacle-crossing allows the robot to navigate thresholds, table legs, and other tricky obstacles with ease. While a 3.7-inch (9.4 cm) ultra-slim robot easily navigates under beds, sofas, and other low-clearance areas for a more complete clean. The Flow delivers unparalleled cleaning performance—from edges to corners.
• DualFlow Tangle-Free System: The system virtually eliminates hair tangles with an SGS-certified 0% tangling floating roller brush and dynamic auto-detangling side brushes. Dynamic bristle designs for side brushes, along with a single floating arm roller brush and optimal 50° angle, ensure effortless cleaning and maintenance.
• All-in-One Multifunction Base: The 8-in-1 base automates dust emptying, AI adaptive hot-water mop washing (adjusting water temperature from 113°F to 176°F for sterilization) and hot-air drying. The dustbin lasts up to 120 days. Flow Series models are available with an optional refill and drainage dock variant that connects to home drainage systems to automatically refill and empty the robot cleaner, with 11-inch-tall base, the compact version fits easily in tight spaces.
• Smart Voice and Home Integration: The built-in voice assistant (“Hey Nawa”) enables hands-free cleaning and setting adjustments. The Flow is compatible with Alexa, Google Home, and Siri, with Matter support coming by the end of the year for seamless smart home integration.

“Narwal Flow is designed to simplify and elevate daily life through intelligent automation and exceptional cleaning performance,” said Junbin Zhang, CEO of Narwal. “With industry-leading features like FlowWash, EdgeReach, CarpetFocus and Twin-AI navigation, we’re empowering users to enjoy spotless floors and more free time, without the hassle of constant maintenance.”

The Narwal Flow presale runs 8/7-8/26 at https://us.narwal.com with launch discounts: Water Tank Version $1,099.99 (MSRP: $1,499.99) | Compact Version $1,399.99 (MSRP: $1,599.99)

Customers who purchase during the presale period will receive a complimentary accessory bundle and enjoy an extended 3-year warranty. Flexible payment options are also available through select providers.

HONG KONG, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At the event “Curating Alpha: Intelligent RWA around the globe” in Bangkok yesterday, CMAG Funds, Mile Green, Amber Premium (NASDAQ: AMBR) and Jovay (Layer 2 by Ant Digital Technologies) alongside a consortium of seasoned institutional veterans jointly unveiled EVOLVE RWA, a breakthrough tokenized multi-asset Real World Asset (RWA) initiative bridging electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem, green energy and real estate.

EVOLVE RWA ushers in a new era of tokenized asset innovation by transforming traditionally passive capital into actively managed, liquid and technology-driven portfolios with seamless global capital mobility across traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). Targeting high-growth corridors around the globe—starting from Southeast Asia—EVOLVE tokenizes a carefully curated and diversified portfolio comprising income-generating EV ecosystem and real estate, undervalued and special situation assets.

By enabling fractionalized ownership, EVOLVE lowers traditional entry barriers and opens access to previously inaccessible real-world assets to a larger group of investors. Its dual return model combines stable yields from operating cash inflows with potential to capture asset value upside, effectively mobilizing capital across the Web2 and Web3 spaces.

Powered by Industry-Leading Consortium

Led by CMAG Funds (spearheaded by SFC-licensed Wonder Capital Group and Chatchaval Jiaravanon, a key CP family member and owner of FORTUNE Media) and Mile Green, a sustainable energy solution provider dual-headquartered in Hong Kong and Thailand, EVOLVE unites a consortium of professional veterans and strategic partners from the Web2 and Web3 ecosystems, including but not limited to:

• Amber Premium, Jovay (Layer 2 by Ant Digital Technologies), Collaterize and Lightnet Group for RWA infrastructure, blockchain technology, distribution, cross-border and on-ramp or off-ramp settlements
• Horizon Asset Management, MUNG Legal, Jones Lang Lasalle (JLL) andDeloitte for asset management, legal and compliance, valuation, ESG reporting and project advisory

Wayne Huo, Co-Founder & CEO of Amber Premium, commented, “We’re proud to be a part of EVOLVE, joining members from the Web2 and Web3 ecosystem to unlock real-world asset access and unleash new investment potential by delivering our secure, innovative solutions alongside exclusive distribution channels for investors in the region and beyond.” and Dennis Zhang, Global Head of RWA of Ant Digital Technologies, added, “This will be a remarkable milestone – our recent launch of Jovay will be a perfect solution for EVOLVE. We look forward to partnering with the leading firms to cultivate innovation in the RWA space.”

Offering a Unique Portfolio of Multi-Assets

Unlike typical single-asset tokenized projects, EVOLVE offers a multi-asset portfolio blending stable income with value-generating returns. This comprises EV and EV-charging income, real estate rental and interest income providing predictable yields, as well as special-situation and distressed assets offering potential upside. The convergence of new energy and real estate, together with ESG-led value enhancement initiatives, creates significant growth prospects.

“EVOLVE is the world-first unique RWA project integrating income and value-generating EV ecosystem, real estate and clean energy through tokenization,” Maverick Hui, Founder and Executive Chairman of Mile Green & EVOLVE, said. “Following our successful pilot launch on Collaterize showcased in the event, we are joining forces with the market-leading partners to maximize synergy and impact. Also, with our solid presence in Hong Kong and Thailand – markets well-known for supportive regulatory frameworks, EVOLVE leverages our resources and network as a foundation of success.”

Built on a Global Borderless Settlement Infrastructure

At its core, EVOLVE features an integrated, stablecoin-based architecture designed to enable seamless and borderless capital deployment and transaction flows. Leveraging multi-fiat pegged stablecoins, the platform accelerates financing for asset acquisitions and EV infrastructure rollouts, enabling instant and multi-national settlements.

“Stablecoin evolvement is a catalyst to fascinate the development of RWA around the globe. Lightnet, one of our group companies has already demonstrated a swift conversion of stablecoin to-and-from fiat across Southeast Asia. We look forward to working together with the Hong Kong stablecoin issuers and operators to replicate our pioneer advantage and success”, Chatchaval Jiaravanon, Chairman of Lightnet, Founding Partner of CMAG Funds and Owner of FORTUNE Magazine said. 

With a robust regulatory regime for stablecoin and crypto now firming up in Hong Kong, and strategic partners spanning the region and the global Web3 ecosystem, EVOLVE is setting a new standard for accessing, managing, and scaling real-world assets worldwide.

Gigi Chan, Founder and CEO of Wonder Capital Group and Founding Partner of CMAG Funds, stated, “As the convergence of real-world infrastructure and blockchain finance accelerates, EVOLVE provides a scalable and interoperable tool to mobilize, allocate, and grow capital for both TradFi and DeFi market players globally.  Coming from a TradFi background, I’m excited to witness the real and virtual worlds merge through initiatives like EVOLVE.”

ISLAMABAD, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The GSMA today hosted the second edition of its Digital Nation Summit Islamabad recognising the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication (MoITT), the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), and the Pakistan’s mobile network operators for their tireless efforts and contributions toward advancing the country’s digital landscape.

During the summit, the GSMA published Unlocking Pakistan’s Digital Potential: Reform, Trust and Opportunity, a new report highlighting policy opportunities for the country to close one of Asia Pacific’s most significant mobile-internet usage gaps and position Pakistan as a regional digital leader.

Speaking to key decision makers at the GSMA’s Digital Nation Summit in Islamabad, Julian Gorman, the GSMA’s Head of Asia Pacific detailed the key findings and recommendations from the report. He outlined how mobile technologies and services are transforming Asian economies and can contribute an additional US $1.4 trillion in gross domestic product (GDP) for the region by 2030. However, he raised concerns that Pakistan risks missing out: although 81% of the country’s population is covered by mobile broadband and 68% own a smartphone, only 29% of people used the mobile internet last year, leaving a 52% usage gap – the highest among major regional markets.

“Pakistan has the talent, ambition and vision to be a digital powerhouse, but policy barriers are holding it back,” said Julian Gorman, Head of Asia Pacific, GSMA. “High spectrum prices, heavy sector-specific taxes and regulatory uncertainty are limiting investment at the very moment Pakistan needs affordable, high-quality connectivity the most. Reform is no longer optional – it is essential for economic growth, social inclusion and global competitiveness.”

Pakistan’s Federal Minister for IT & Telecom, Shaza Fatima Khawaja, said: “Pakistan is not merely adapting to the digital age, we are shaping it with purpose and precision. Guided by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s vision, the Ministry of IT & Telecom is advancing a resilient and inclusive digital ecosystem where innovation drives economic growth and technology empowers every citizen.”

To help further progress Pakistan’s digital acceleration the GSMA report outlines policy opportunities to speed advancement. These include a call for comprehensive spectrum reform, alignment of fiscal policy with Pakistan’s digital-development goals, building digital trust and inclusion, and streamlining regulation to foster resilience and innovation.

USD1 stands out as a stablecoin that is fully backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries, dollar deposits, and cash equivalents. This backing strategy is meticulously managed by WLFI to ensure that the value of USD1 remains tightly aligned with the U.S. dollar. With institutional-grade reserves and trusted custody partners, USD1 aims to become a foundational layer for digital payments, trading, and DeFi applications worldwide.

USD1 Points Program Benefits

The USD1 Points Program brings to crypto what loyalty programs have done for traditional industries like airlines, hotels, and credit cards. For the first time, stablecoin users can earn rewards for helping build a more sovereign and decentralized financial future.

Through this program, HTX will enable users to earn points by trading USD1 pairs, holding USD1 in balances, and staking USD1 on the platform.

Looking Ahead

HTX is honored to join this movement alongside fellow industry leaders and support the growth of the USD1 stablecoin. This collaboration marks another milestone in HTX’s commitment to bringing secure, innovative, and user-focused products to the global crypto community.

More information will be shared later on about the program initiatives. Together with WLFI and other partners, HTX is building a more inclusive and rewarding future — one point at a time.
