SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 September 2026 – On September 18, Dr. Peter Zhou, Director of the Board at Huawei and CEO of Huawei Cloud, delivered a keynote titled “The Agentic Cloud for the Agentic World: Build Together, Grow Together” at HUAWEI CONNECT 2026. He shared Huawei Cloud’s latest progress. He announced the global launch of the latest AI Cluster Service (AICS), a key step in Huawei Cloud’s strategy to strengthen the silicon bedrock on the cloud and reinforce the foundation for agentic AI. The keynote also highlighted the Agentic Model as a Service (MaaS) platform, which brings together diverse models to accelerate model capabilities as services at scale. The AgentArts enterprise-grade agent platform already serves over 100 enterprises. The Industry AI Foundry has accumulated more than 1,000 industry assets, with over 1,000 projects deployed. The Industry AI Foundry now includes two new zones, Smart Government Zone and AI Hardware Zone, to drive agents toward large-scale adoption. These efforts, taken together, are building a thriving AI ecosystem on the cloud.

Building Agentic Infra for agents
Dr. Peter Zhou also highlighted that in the agentic era, infrastructure no longer simply exists to provide compute. Instead, its purpose has expanded to making every token more efficient, coordinating general and AI compute, enabling models to keep learning, and, more importantly, running agents securely and reliably within real production environments. Huawei Cloud has defined Agentic Infra, a new paradigm around efficient tokens, enhanced memory, unified general & AI scheduling, and secure autonomy. To date, Agentic Infra has served over 3,500 customers.

• The latest AICS is built on a five-level fast recovery mechanism with full-chain observability. It supports over 40 days of stable training on cloud and is capable of fault recovery within 10 minutes. Furthermore, supported by coordinated optimization across scheduling, cache, and algorithms, it delivers 20% higher token throughput than the previous generation of compute service. The latest AICS will be commercially available in China on September 30 and in markets outside China on November 30.
• The Context Memory Storage (CMS) solution addresses the needs of long-horizon agent tasks for memory capacity and access efficiency. It provides a petabyte-scale memory space, twice the storage capacity of comparable industry products, and supports high-speed terabyte-scale memory reads with 50% higher performance than industry peers.
• Agentic MaaS brings together diverse models, enabling developers to invoke state-of-the-art (SOTA) models from leading providers with just one click and no deployment required. At the event, MiniMax demonstrated its advanced multimodal model, which, combined with Huawei Cloud, delivers open, cutting-edge multimodal capabilities.

Building an enterprise-grade agent platform to help enterprises develop and use agents effectively
Huawei Cloud is advancing its enterprise-grade agent platform through a dual approach: commercial and open source. Built on AgentArts and its open-source edition openJiuwen, the platform opens up more than 5,000 general Model Context Protocol (MCP) assets and over 1,000 industry-specific MCP assets, making it easier for enterprises to develop, use, and manage agents. To date, the platform has served more than 100 customers, including the Shenzhen Longgang District Government, China Southern Power Grid, Guangzhou Laboratory, the University of Science and Technology of China, Kingsoft Office, Sichuan Yingu Carbon Sink Renewable Resources Co., Ltd., Changsha Thunder Cloud Network Technology Co., Ltd., and KingMed Diagnostics. At the event, Kingsoft Office shared its implementation practices based on Huawei Cloud’s agent platform. By deeply integrating the agent platform with the WPS 365 Document Center and WPS Comate, Kingsoft Office has built vertical office agents that are now deployed across multiple industries, including finance and government.

Huawei Cloud has announced that AgentArts will be commercially available in markets outside China on December 30. To date, the openJiuwen open-source community has surpassed 50,000 stars and 3.29 million downloads. Together with Chinasoft International, iSoftStone Group, and Beiming Software, Huawei Cloud has launched partner commercial editions and shared a broad market space, helping partners thrive on Huawei Cloud’s silicon bedrock.

Advancing the Industry AI Foundry to accelerate AI adoption at scale across industries
Through the Industry AI Foundry, Huawei Cloud brings together assets such as industry scenarios, models, data, knowledge, and agents, turning industry know-how from isolated project experience into reusable industry capabilities. It has built five industry-specific zones — Smart Healthcare Zone, Embodied AI Zone, AI for Science (AI4S) Zone, Smart Manufacturing Zone, and Smart Finance Zone — with over 1,000 industry-specific assets and more than 1,000 deployed projects.

Two new zones have been launched within the Industry AI Foundry: Smart Government Zone and AI Hardware Zone. The Smart Government Zone has already brought together 24 founding partners, covering a range of scenarios such as government office operations, public services, urban governance, and industry development. The AI Hardware Zone has onboarded 15 core partners, covering more than 20 device types, including AI glasses, AI toys, and AI recording cards, along with over 10 scenario templates and more than 110 scenario skills.

From infrastructure and enterprise-grade agent platforms to industry ecosystems, Huawei Cloud is committed to building an open agentic cloud, with open infrastructure to power AI, an open platform to support enterprises in effectively developing and using agents, and an open industry ecosystem to accelerate AI adoption at scale. Ultimately, Huawei Cloud looks to move forward with customers and partners to build and grow together in the agentic era.

Themed Advancing the Agentic World, HUAWEI CONNECT 2026 will delve into AI across three dimensions: strategy, technology, and ecosystems. You can expect an in-depth look at our latest strategic initiatives, and we’ll also be unveiling our all-new digital and intelligent infrastructure products, scenario-specific solutions for industries, and development tools. The event will run from September 17 to 19 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center and Shanghai Expo Center.

Exhibition officially opens to the public on September 12; tickets now on sale

SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 September 2026 – On September 10, JingAn Kerry Centre (JAKC) and AllRightsReserved (ARR), in collaboration with Spiralcute International, officially launched the Chinese mainland debut of “CHIIKAWA DAYS” Exhibition (Shanghai).

From September 12 to November 1, JAKC will be transformed into a CHIIKAWA-themed world for a 51-day exhibition. Multiple experience zones across the South Plaza and Nanjing West Road will feature Shanghai-exclusive exhibits making their global debut and inspired by local food culture, alongside a limited-time merchandise pop-up store and co-branded food offerings from JAKC tenants, creating an immersive CHIIKAWA experience for visitors.

Chinese Mainland Debut Brings Shanghai Longtang Eats to Life: “CHIIKAWA DAYS” Exhibition (Shanghai) Takes Centre Stage at JAKC

On September 10, “CHIIKAWA DAYS” Exhibition (Shanghai) marked its official launch. Chiikawa, Hachiware and Usagi made a surprise appearance at the event, meeting attending media up close and setting the stage for the exhibition. The exhibition had already made an early appearance on Anyi Road on September 5 with a preheat celebration featuring a series of giant CHIIKAWA sculptures. The installation drew strong footfall on its first day and widespread attention across social media, rapidly building nationwide awareness of the exhibition.

Opening to the public on September 12, the Chinese mainland debut of “CHIIKAWA DAYS” Exhibition (Shanghai) comprises two ticketed exhibition zones, a free exhibition zone and a limited-time pop-up store available exclusively to ticket holders. At the Piazza, the main ticketed zone, “CHIIKAWA’s Everyday Life,” takes visitors through nine themed rooms spanning Clothing, Food, Shelter and Action, and extending into everyday mini-adventures — from stepping into Chiikawa’s home to taking on hunting missions. More than 100 3D sculptures recreate memorable scenes from the manga, including the rice cooker filled with white rice, the internet café, “Ramen Rō”, the prison, the 3-star restaurant and iconic hunting scenes. Each room offers its own details and discoveries for fans to explore.

Among the highlights is the new Shanghai-exclusive “CHIIKAWA Longtang Eats” zone, created specifically for the city and presented as a dedicated exhibition area. Continuing the creative concept of incorporating local food culture into the world of CHIIKAWA, Chiikawa and friends wander through a traditional longtang setting inspired by old Shanghai before transforming into playful interpretations of some of Shanghai and the Jiangnan region’s most recognisable delicacies, including pan-fried buns, savoury pork mooncakes, crab roe soup dumplings, butterfly pastries, braised pork, lion’s head meatballs, eight-treasure rice pudding and almond tofu. The experience brings Shanghai fans a fresh sense of discovery while celebrating familiar local flavours.

Also making its Chinese mainland debut is a nine-metre-tall giant inflatable sculpture featuring Chiikawa, Hachiware and Usagi at the prominent junction of Nanjing West Road and Changde Road. The installation has become a gathering point for fans and residents from across the city, inviting visitors to step further into the everyday world of Chiikawa and friends.

The limited-time pop-up store is located on Level 2 of JAKC, where more than 50 licensed merchandise items will be introduced throughout the exhibition period. Shanghai-exclusive “CHIIKAWA Longtang Eats” themed souvenirs make their global debut, offering fans a broad selection of collectibles. Ahead of the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, the pop-up store will also launch a range of “Moon-Lantern Fest” themed merchandise. During the exhibition, participating food tenants at JAKC will introduce official CHIIKAWA collaborations. PAPER STONE BAKERY, for example, will offer freshly baked savoury pork mooncakes stamped with Chiikawa, bringing together Shanghai longtang food culture and IP creativity.

Admission includes access to both ticketed exhibition zones and eligibility to shop at the pop-up store. Throughout the exhibition, ticket holders will receive themed gifts at different stages and will also have opportunities to purchase limited-edition collaboration food items. Together, the exhibition, shopping and dining experiences create an immersive full-day itinerary, giving visitors a uniquely Shanghai CHIIKAWA memory to take home.

JAKC’s collaboration with ARR to bring the Chinese mainland debut of “CHIIKAWA DAYS” Exhibition (Shanghai) to the city represents a significant evolution of its experiential consumption model. By drawing urban footfall and stimulating commercial activity, the exhibition further connects retail with culture and tourism. It reflects JAKC’s responsiveness to consumer trends and contemporary cultural moments, while also aligning with the continued growth of inbound tourism and adding a new touchpoint for cultural exchange in Shanghai. As a core landmark of the Jing’an commercial district, JAKC continues to inject creative energy into the Nanjing West Road area through collaborations with leading cultural IPs, supporting its development as a hub where urban culture and new consumption converge. Looking ahead, JAKC will continue to integrate culture, commerce, tourism and exhibitions, contributing to Shanghai’s development as a world-renowned tourism city while creating sustained momentum for the city through compelling cultural experiences.

*Special Notice: Display and opening arrangements for certain exhibits, particularly those in outdoor areas, may be adjusted due to weather conditions or other circumstances beyond the organisers’ control. Please refer to actual on-site arrangements.

The Group outlined ambitious global expansion with 20 new campuses by 2030 and next-generation student initiativesCaption

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 September 2026 – Global Schools Group (GSG), recognised as the world’s most awarded network of K-12 schools, today officially commenced its 25th anniversary celebrations by committing S$100,000 in philanthropic donations to support community initiatives across Singapore. The announcement was made alongside strategic plans to expand its global footprint by opening 20 new international campuses by 2030, targeting high-growth education markets across Asia and the Middle East.

The flagship anniversary event was held in the presence of Guest of Honour Mr. Edwin Tong, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth & Second Minister for Law Singapore, who witnessed representatives from key beneficiaries receive donation cheques from GSG. The donations will primarily enhance accessibility features in special education schools across East Coast GRC and support inclusive community spaces, including the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), President’s Challenge, and the People’s Association via the Siglap South Community Centre redevelopment.
