This landmark initiative will establish a state-of-the-art hyper-scale computing power and green energy synergy cluster in Rayong, located within Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). The project aligns with Thailand 4.0 Strategy, aiming to catalyze investments across digital infrastructure and AI-related industries, fostering long-term technological and economic growth.

Galaxy Data Center was honored to be one of 30 leading global companies invited for the dialogue.


Before the forum, Mr. Feng Hui, Founder of Galaxy Data Center, had the privilege of holding a private audience with Acting Prime Minister Wechayachai for in-depth conversation. Mr. Feng Hui elaborated on GDC’s vision to position Thailand as a world-class green digital industry hub with global influence:

‘Deloitte India’, ‘Embark’ form Strategic Alliance to Offer End-to-end Solutions for Global Capability Centers

MUMBAI, India, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Deloitte India has announced a strategic alliance with Embark, an integrated platform for Global Capability Centres (GCCs), to offer comprehensive support for global firms establishing and scaling their GCCs in India.

The alliance offers end-to-end solutions, from strategy and location planning to legal, tax, facility setup, and operational support across finance, talent, procurement, and compliance, helping firms de-risk execution, accelerate timelines, and drive scalable, future-ready growth.

Romal Shetty, Chief Executive Officer of Deloitte South Asia, said, “We are beginning to see significant shift in global enterprises’ drivers for setting up a GCC. What started as pure capacity models for enterprise support functions are now moving towards becoming cognitive command centres housing emerging tech capabilities such as ArtificiaI Intelligence (AI), Engineering and Research & Development (ER&D)  and other digital capabilities. Carrying an achievable vision of 5000 GCCs in the next five years, this sector is poised to generate US$150–US$200 billion in direct economic impact tapping talent beyond metros. This alliance between Deloitte India’s GCC advisory and Embark’s on-ground execution offers a seamless, end-to-end solution that showcases the true ‘art of the possible’ where complementary strengths converge. Together, we are enabling global enterprises to land their GCCs and eventually scale from India for the world.”

Deepak Mowdhgalya, Partner, Deloitte India, added, “What we are seeing today is not just the growth of GCCs, but a fundamental shift in how global organisations view India as a strategic hub for innovation, beyond mere execution. Yet, many companies struggle to convert vision into reality due to a lack of a trusted advisor-led support system. This alliance with Embark is designed to solve that challenge. By bringing together complementary strengths under one roof, we enable enterprises to move from intent to impact faster, with greater confidence, proven ability and long-term scalability.” 

Aravind Maiya, Co-founder & CEO of Embark, said, “We are delighted to partner with Deloitte India to offer a first-of-its-kind, integrated GCC solution in India. Our combined strengths will enable global companies to seamlessly enter and scale in the Indian market, using world-class infrastructure.” 

As India continues to position itself as a cornerstone of the global digital economy, such alliances will play a key role in catalysing growth, enabling job creation and expanding the footprint of high-value, innovation-led services across the country.

COLE HAAN OWNS COMFORT WITH FALL 2025 CAMPAIGN, COLE HAAN COMFORTABLE™

The Iconic American Brand Redefines Fall Style with Innovation Engineered for Life’s Most Relatable Moments

NEW YORK, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cole Haan unveils its Fall 2025 global campaign, Cole Haan Comfortable™ a bold platform that redefines what comfort means for the modern lifestyle.  Grounded in the belief that true style should never come at the expense of feeling good, the Fall 2025 collection introduces the brand’s most innovative offerings to date—delivering on a clear promise: comfort goes wherever you do. Engineered for the unexpected and tailored to meet every moment, the season invites you to move through life with ease—and feel what’s possible.

Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/cole-haan/9313652-en-cole-haan-comfortable-fall-2025-campaign

For nearly a century, Cole Haan has quietly challenged the notion that elegance and ease can’t coexist. Cole Haan Comfortable proves that performance and polish not only work together—they complement each another. Fall 2025 builds on this legacy with the introductions and continued evolution of technologies designed to make comfort feel invisible, yet unmistakable.

Originally introduced in Fall 2024, SkyWeave™ Cushioning Technology expands this season with new applications across women’s footwear and sneaker uppers. The GrandPrø™ Court SkyWeave Sneaker features lightweight cushioning trusses that deliver a springy, responsive bounce—making every step feel lighter, easier, and more energized. Paired with high-traction outsoles, these styles adapt effortlessly to unpredictable schedules and all-day movement. Further pushing the hybrid category it pioneered, Cole Haan debuts its dressiest hybrid to date: the ØriginalGrand™ CitySpectre Collection. Drawing inspiration from Cole Haan’s heritage with refined details like a sculpted “ghost” heel and sleek lines inspired by ergonomic car designs, the collection includes oxfords, loafers, and boot styles. Its athletic-inspired cushioning system, ENERGYFEEL™ Foam, delivers sneaker-like comfort and rebound—propelling you forward with every stride.

Successful innovation platforms Grand Revolution and Grand Ambition return this season—elevated and evolved—continuing the brand’s legacy of understated, performance-driven technologies. Rooted in a century of dress expertise and inspired by modern performance needs, Grand Revolution transforms a 200-year-old tradition in leather sole craftsmanship—most notably the time-honored art of leather sole stacking for durability and refinement. Now reengineered with FlexCraft Comfort Technology, this multi-layered construction combines heritage detailing with heel-to-toe hidden layers of cushioning, flexibility, and traction. The result: a remarkably lightweight, cushioned, and flexible dress shoe that rewrites the rules of footwear. Available in cap-toe and wingtip oxfords, penny loafers, and boots.

Since its debut in 2019, Grand Ambition has redefined the look and feel of women’s footwear. Now with Grand Lux Technology the latest iteration introduces proprietary technology, enhancing forefoot padding and underfoot layering for plush, responsive cushioning—entirely hidden from view. Designed as timeless wardrobe staples, the collection features loafers, pumps, booties, and ballet flats built for modern versatility and comfort.

“Fall 2025 delivers the brand’s most innovation in the history of the company,” says Scott Patt, Chief Creative Officer. “We’re not just talking about comfort—we’re owning it. Fall 2025 is designed for real life and all its unpredictability. From revolutionized oxfords to engineered sneakers to weather-ready boots, we’ve created beautiful, smart products that help you show up, stay present, and feel great while doing it.”

The Cole Haan Comfortable global campaign launch captures the transitional energy between summer and fall. Lightweight, flexible styles like the GrandPrø Court SkyWeave Sneaker are designed to adapt to spontaneous schedules and shifting routines. The campaign will continue to unfold throughout Fall and Winter through a series of digital-first storytelling moments, spotlighting the brand’s innovative products.

This marks Cole Haan’s seventh creative collaboration with award-winning agency General Idea, with content running across digital, social, connected TV, and out-of-home channels in key U.S. and international markets, including Japan.

Cole Haan is a global lifestyle brand available in over 100 countries, serving connected, active professionals with footwear and accessories that fuse modern innovation and heritage craftsmanship. With nearly a century of design legacy, the brand continues to inspire customers to live extraordinary lives—from work, to workout, to weekend.

New Applications, Expanding Markets Propel Earth Observation Geospatial Data Services Revenue to US$15 Billion

NEW YORK, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global demand for Earth observation (EO) geospatial data is rising, driven by increased interest and investment in geospatial intelligence. According to global technology intelligence firm ABI Research, the EO sector is projected to generate US$15 billion in revenue by 2030. Europe is expected to lead with the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.5% from 2024 to 2030, followed closely by the Asia-Pacific region at 19.6%. In contrast, the Middle East and Africa are projected to experience more modest growth, with a CAGR of 10.4%.

“We’re seeing a growing wave of investment in EO applications across a wide range of industries, including agriculture, mining, and government,” said Rachel Kong, Research Analyst at ABI Research. “The use of satellite imagery has surged in both government and commercial sectors. This increase is driven by the need for real-time, data-informed decision-making, along with the clear return on investment EO data can deliver.

“At the same time, we’re witnessing rapid innovation in EO solutions, including the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to extract insights from scientific-grade imagery, the deployment of multi-sensor satellites to enhance capabilities, and advancements in data processing for faster, more efficient analysis. For downstream customers, this translates to higher-resolution imagery, more frequent updates due to increased revisit rates, and smoother, more streamlined operations.”

The agriculture sector is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.0% from 2024 to 2030, driven by expanding applications such as precision agriculture, crop health monitoring, and land use analysis. Meanwhile, the supply chain and transport sector is expected to see a higher CAGR of 16.7%, as EO technologies play a critical role in enabling real-time visibility, asset tracking, and infrastructure management, particularly in response to recent global supply chain disruptions. Leading EO companies such as Maxar, BlackSky, ICEYE, and Capella Space continue to invest heavily in scaling their satellite constellations and enhancing solution capabilities to meet rising demand.

While North America currently leads in EO industry investment and innovation, regions like Europe and Asia-Pacific are quickly accelerating their efforts.

“EO solution providers looking to scale their operations should explore opportunities in emerging markets and industries where demand is growing rapidly,” said Kong. “These regions are ramping up investments in AI and developing critical infrastructure, including data centers and manufacturing facilities. This shift is driving growing demand for sovereign capabilities to strengthen resilience and enhance security.

“As applications and use cases continue to emerge and evolve, solution providers are expected to keep innovating their solutions. We’ll also see more players entering the market, which will drive both supply and quality of EO data upward.”

These findings are from ABI Research’s Earth Observation Geospatial Data Revenue market data report, part of the company’s Space Technologies and Innovation research service, which includes research, data, and ABI Insights.
