The interior of the two models is a combination of premium aesthetic standards and meticulous, sophisticated hand cut and sewn, complemented by the integration of advanced technologies to provide an enhanced ambience and calming environment. Seats are powered by intuitive controls that offer heating and ventilation to ensure absolute comfort. In further easing the pressure of busy commutes, the VF 9 Plus even offers massage functions.
The VF 8 and VF 9 are equipped with a large 15.6-inch touchscreen in the center console that minimizes the number of physical buttons while simplifying the interface. With the intuitive support of the high-resolution screen, drivers and passengers can easily navigate and enjoy a comprehensive driving experience on every journey. The full-color Heads-Up Display (HUD) technology projects onto the windshield to provide smart solutions that track the vehicle’s essential information while ensuring the drivers keep their eyes on the road.
Strongly committed to a sustainable future, VinFast is researching the application of eco-friendly materials, such as Eco-leatherette, for production in the interior cabin soon. VinFast also proactively applies multiple solutions that help reduce water waste and chemical emissions. Its innovative battery strategy is also designed and managed with a total recycling solution that minimizes environmental impacts and encourages sustainability.
Mr. Silvio Angori, Pininfarina CEO, said: “We move dreams. We are extremely energized to craft the Vietnamese heritage with world-class beauties into VinFast’s first cars. And we are even strongly moved to visualize the Future of Mobility with VinFast. We hope that our greener and safer cars can captivate and inspire global audiences to join hands for the movement to a more sustainable future for all.”
Mr. Emmanuel Bret, VinFast Deputy CEO, added: “VinFast relentlessly innovates to bring our customers outstanding products.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 2 March 2022 –IN Financial Technology (INFT), a community-driven neo-Bank, headquartered in Singapore, has fully acquired MyCash, a Singapore-based international money transfer company focused on migrant workers. The value of the acquisition was for an undisclosed amount.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 2 March 2022 –Foonie Magus announces Apeiron, the world’s first Play and Earn (P&E) god-game on the blockchain, has raised three million dollars in its preseed valuation, a historic first for NFT games.
This up and coming crypto game has been making waves in the GameFi community with its stunning gameplay teasers, revolutionary tri-token economy and rich mythological settings. Apeiron takes the classic gameplay of god-games like Black and White and Populous and refines and updates it for the modern era, bringing in elements of Roguelike RPG dungeon delving, planet building simulations, and Alliance PvP endgame in one comprehensive package.
Players will be able to earn NFTs in the form of Planets, Stars, and Relics. They will be able to breed new NFTs using a holy ritual known as Celestial Conjunction, where the essence of two Planets is used to produce a third. All the while, through simply playing the game, players will be given opportunities to earn tokens, which can be exchanged on the marketplace for real cryptocurrency.
Notably, CEO Frank Cheng has drawn a line in the sand between Apeiron and other play-to-earn games: “We believe that at the end of the day, games should be enjoyable and NOT work. Money and work tends to take the enjoyment out of entertainment experiences. We are gamers at heart…and our focus is on creating games with great gameplay, friendly social dynamics, and epic moments. Earning is secondary in the equation and more like a bonus that rewards dedication, skill and teamwork.”
Apeiron has a fully diluted valuation of 50 million dollars, and has attracted a number of strategic partners who are excited by the project. Zombieclub, Asia’s first Web3 thinktank with both celebrity and technology conglomerate backing, has identified Apeiron as an early zombie to help revolutionize and promote best practices in Web3 space. The game has also won the backing of Enzac Research and Skyvision Capital, veteran teams in the Web3 space offering in-depth experience and professional support to ensure Apeiron reaches and surpasses its potential.
In the gaming sphere, across the world up-and-coming crypto gaming DAOs and gaming guilds have rallied to Apeiron’s banner, including YGGSEA and guildFi from Southeast Asia and SnackclubGG from Latin America. These early believers will set the stage for Apeiron’s epic Alliance-level guild vs guild battles for the heart of the godiverse.
In the crypto sphere, Leo Ventures, IVC, and Trill Ventures are new crypto venture funds with passionate teams looking to build something lasting in the metaverse and who are thrilled to back Apeiron’s grand vision for the long term.
Finally, Sing Tsang and Aither Global are real-world franchising partners helping to build bridges between the metaverse and the physical world with storytelling and merchandising.
The groundswell of popular support and partnerships makes Apeiron one of the brightest prospects among the new wave of NFT games. Foonie Magus will hold Apeiron’s first Planet NFT pre-sale in March 2022. The game is scheduled to launch late 2022.
Starting from a metasearch engine, an online aggregator of flight ticket comparison, Traveloka has now transformed into a Lifestyle Superapp that offers end-to-end solutions to fulfill consumers’ lifestyle needs.
In celebrating a decade of Traveloka accompanying its consumers’ journey, Traveloka presents the Salebrat10n Promotion Program.
MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach – 2 March 2022 – Established since 29 February 2012, Traveloka, Southeast Asia’s lifestyle superapp, today celebrates its 10 years of journeying and growing together with its consumers. As part of the celebration, the lifestyle superapp presents the Salebrat10n promotion program.
Throughout a decade of being present among the society, Traveloka has been producing various technology-based innovations to fulfill the growing needs of consumers in travel and lifestyle. Starting from a metasearch engine to online aggregator, Traveloka has transformed into a lifestyle superapp with more than 20 products and services under three main pillars: travel, local services, and financial services.
Albert, Co-Founder, Traveloka, said “Innovation is the driving force for us as a technology company to continue growing, adapting, and providing relevant solutions to answer consumers’ needs and their aspirations. Over the past decade, we have delivered a variety of products and services providing convenience to more than 40 million consumers, collaborating with millions of partners, and partnering with a number of stakeholders to jointly contribute to the tourism industry and national economy.”
Being committed to consistently growing and bringing Indonesian pride to the other parts of the world, Traveloka became the first unicorn in the country to develop a business outside its home country, Indonesia. Since 2015, Traveloka has expanded across Southeast Asia, such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
One of the manifestations of Traveloka’s commitment to remain innovative is reflected in the milestone when it launched Traveloka PayLater in 2018. Traveloka pioneered the concept, currently known as Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) in Indonesia. It has the main goal of simplifying consumers’ access to financial services, hence helping them to better manage their cash flow. Not to mention, Traveloka made a breakthrough to be the first in Southeast Asia to introduce PayLater Virtual Number, an installment method using a virtual number.
During the pandemic that hit the travel and tourism sector hard, Traveloka continued to innovate and branched into adjacent services. Traveloka carried out a series of initiatives to support pandemic mitigation in the country, from establishing Traveloka Vaccination Centers, offering COVID-19 tests, to launching Traveloka Clean Partners. In an effort to help partners that are affected by the pandemic, the lifestyle superapp also held the iconic EPIC Sale program which successfully increased the transactions of 84,000+ partners by more than 4.5 times.
Throughout its journey in the past one year, Traveloka continues to strengthen its position as a lifestyle superapp by complementing its products and services portfolio, to provide end-to-end solutions. In the Travel business unit, Traveloka Holiday Stays is now available with a complete private accommodation inventory, and Traveloka QuickRide which allows consumers to order a taxi on the Traveloka application. Meanwhile, Eats Delivery, Health, and Online Xperience are embedded in the Local Services business unit.
