MD Local Global Ltd. and Goya Award-Winning Animation Studio Abano Producións Sign Feature Film Development Memorandum of Understanding for Journey to the West

LONDON, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MD Local Global Ltd. (“MDLG” or the “Company”), London-based cultural company, today announced that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with Abano Producións, a Spanish animation studio, to explore the development of an animated feature film inspired by the Chinese literary classic Journey to the West.

The MOU was signed on March 8, 2026, marking an important step in expanding the collaboration between the two parties beyond their ongoing animated short film project.

Earlier this year, Abano Producións received the 2026 Goya Award for Best Animated Feature Film for Decorado. Presented by the Spanish Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences, the Goya Awards represent the highest honor in Spanish cinema and are widely regarded as the Spanish equivalent of the Academy Awards.

The award further strengthens the international reputation of producer Chelo Loureiro, whose work has long been recognized within the global animation festival circuit.

From Short Film Collaboration to Feature Film Development

On November 12, 2025, MDLG entered into an Animation Production Agreement with Abano Producións, launching the production of the animated short film project. Building upon this ongoing collaboration, MDLG and Abano Producións signed the present MOU, expressing the parties’ shared intention to explore the development of a feature-length animated film based on the creative universe established by the short film.

Within the international animation industry, artist-driven animated shorts often serve as both independent artistic works and creative foundations for larger cinematic projects.

Under the MOU, the feature film initiative will seek to expand the narrative and visual identity of the project for a global audience while exploring international co-production structures and distribution opportunities.

An International Creative Collaboration

The project brings together a distinguished international creative team whose work spans animation, cinema, music, and visual storytelling.

The short film is directed by Isabel Herguera, one of Europe’s most respected animation auteurs and former Artistic Director of the Animac International Animation Festival of Catalonia.

The screenplay is written by Gianmarco Serra, an interdisciplinary filmmaker, composer, and sound artist known for integrating music, sound design, and narrative structure into a unified cinematic language.

Visual development is supported by Gina Thorstensen, an animation filmmaker and visual artist whose work explores emotional perception and experimental visual storytelling.

Together with Goya Award–winning producer Chelo Loureiro and Abano Producións, the collaboration represents a distinctive international creative partnership combining festival-recognized artistic practice, interdisciplinary storytelling, and global production experience.

Reimagining a Classical Myth for a Global Audience

Inspired by the well-known episode often referred to as “The True and the False Monkey King,” the project explores enduring philosophical questions surrounding truth, illusion, identity, and self-awareness.

Through animation, the story becomes a reflection on the human mind itself — where fragmentation gives rise to illusion, while clarity emerges through self-knowledge and transformation.

By combining Chinese mythological imagination with contemporary European animation language, the project seeks to create a cinematic work capable of resonating across cultures while remaining rooted in universal philosophical themes.

Strategic and Economic Potential

Beyond its artistic ambition, the project may also present opportunities within the evolving global animation economy.

Animated films grounded in strong mythological worlds have, in certain cases, demonstrated the potential to generate cultural and commercial value across multiple platforms, including international theatrical distribution, global streaming platforms, and cross-media storytelling opportunities.

With the combination of a globally recognized literary source, a Goya Award–winning production company, and an international creative team with strong festival credentials, the Journey to the West animation initiative may be well suited to pursue both cultural relevance and economic opportunity within the international animation market.

Strategic Outlook

The combination of Abano Producións’ recent Goya Award victory, the ongoing short film collaboration, and the newly signed feature film development MOU represents an important milestone for the project.

Together, these developments mark the early stages of an international animation initiative that seeks to bridge Eastern philosophical storytelling with the European auteur animation tradition.

As development progresses, the project intends to continue exploring international partnerships, festival positioning strategies, and potential distribution opportunities across both theatrical and streaming platforms.

About Abano Producións

Abano Producións is a Spanish animation studio internationally recognized for producing distinctive auteur animation projects. Led by Goya Award-winning producer Chelo Loureiro, the studio has established a strong presence across the international festival circuit, with productions selected at more than one hundred festivals worldwide.

About MD Local Global Ltd.

MD Local Global Ltd., headquartered in the United Kingdom, specializes in cultural IP development and ownership, animation film production, international licensing, cultural tourism operations, and cultural venue development.

The Company is committed to building a globally influential cultural and artistic ecosystem, bringing Eastern philosophy and aesthetics into the world through contemporary storytelling.

XGSynBot Debuts Z1 Wheeled Robot, Targeting the “Last Mile” of Industrial Embodied AI

BEIJING and SAN FRANCISCO, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — March 5, 2026, XGSynBot a pioneer in embodied AI, hosted its 2026 product dual-city launch event themed “More Than One Answer” in both Silicon Valley and Beijing. The company officially debuted the Z1 wheeled humanoid robot with the world’s first Modular-End-Effector Quick Change System and self-developed XG- High-Performance Joint Modules.

Beyond the product, XGSynBot announced the ” STARFIRE”, a global ecosystem cooperation strategy designed to accelerate the transition of Embodied AI to the real unpredictable, heavy-duty industrial production environment.

The event successfully captured the attention of numerous strategic partners and investment institutions, generating potential interests and orders worth tens millions.

The Automation Paradox in Manufacturing

The global manufacturing sector currently faces a “double-bind”: high-cost automation that remains frustratingly rigid. While the industry has seen a surge in agile humanoid prototypes, few can withstand the 24/7 rigors, oil-splattered environments, and micron-level precision required in actual factories.

“We’ve built the world’s most flexible robots over the past three years, yet they remain trapped in the world’s most rigid processes,” said the CEO of XGSynBot “The Z1 isn’t a ‘mascot’ build for the lab; it’s a ‘blue-collar worker’ designed for the real world from the first day.”

A Robot Build for the Factory Production

At the core of Z1 is a set of hardware and software system architecture decisions intended to prioritize reliability and adaptability in production environments.

Modular Quick-Change System:

Breaking the limitation of single-purpose robotics, Z1 can switch between different end-effectors—such as grippers, welders, or suction cups in just under 6 seconds, enabling one robot to cover multiple specialized workstations.

XG- High-Performance Joint Modules:

By integrating motors, reducers, and sensors into a single unit, it significantly improving joint precision, stability, and structural rigidity while eliminating signal interference and latency common in distributed architectures.

In practical terms, this means the system is more stable, faster, and built to withstand demanding industrial use.

The “Dual-System” Central Brain:

Inspired by human cognition, the Z1 features a “Slow System” for high-level task planning and natural language understanding (Reasoning), and a “Fast System” operating at 100Hz for real-time motor control and tactile feedback (Reflex). This allows the robot to understand complex human commands while maintaining millisecond-level stability on the assembly line.

STARFIRE: Building an Embodied AI Cooperation Ecosystem

Alongside the launch of Z1, XGSynBot announced Project STARFIRE, an initiative aimed at building an open cooperation ecosystem around embodied AI.

The program will focus on three areas:

Scenario Co-Innovation:

Deploying large-scale solutions across 3C electronics, automotive, and renewable energy sectors with global industry partners.

Product Synergy:

Opening hardware interfaces to third-party tool and component manufacturers to create a “Plug-and-Play” industrial ecosystem.

Open-Sourcing:

Incrementally open-sourcing proprietary datasets, scenario models, and SDKs in a phased manner, collaborating with academic and industry developers to optimize Embodied AI together.

The Bigger Picture for Embodied AI

The launch comes at a moment when embodied AI is attracting significant global attention and investment, with startups and large tech companies alike racing to bring intelligent robots into physical workplaces.

Yet despite rapid progress in AI models, commercial deployment remains the industry’s biggest hurdle.

By focusing on durability, modularity, and ecosystem development, XGSynBot is betting that the next wave of robotics innovation will be defined less by flashy prototypes—and more by machines that can quietly survive the realities of manufacturing production.

About XGSynBot

XGSynBot is an innovative technology company with cutting-edge AI and robotics.

Guided by the core philosophy “Evolve from Unified Architecture. Grow beyond All Limits”, it hopes to empower industries worldwide, redefine human-robot collaboration, and pioneer a new era of productivity.

By developing embodied AI robots, XGSynBot is actively advancing robots from single-task to cross-scenario applications.

 

YY Group Holding Limited Issues Shareholder Letter

SINGAPORE, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) (“YY Group” or the “Company”), a global leader in on-demand workforce solutions and integrated facilities management (IFM), today released the following letter to its shareholders from Mike Fu, the Company’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer.

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

Over the past year, YY Group has continued to expand its business, strengthen its platform, and broaden its reach across key markets in Asia. As Founder and CEO, I am proud of the progress our team has made in executing on our strategy while continuing to position the Company for long-term growth. We are building YY Group with a focus on disciplined expansion, operational execution, and innovation across workforce solutions, integrated facility management, and technology-enabled services.

Today’s press release reflects that momentum. Based on our preliminary fiscal year 2025 results, YY Group expects revenue in the range of US$57 million to US$58 million, representing approximately 38.7% to 41.1% year-over-year growth, with estimated gross profit of US$7.5 million to US$8.0 million, up approximately 42.6% to 52.1% from the prior year. We also expect gross margin to improve to 13.2% to 13.8%, compared with 12.8% in full year 2024. These results are important not only because they demonstrate growth, but because they show that our strategy is translating into stronger operating performance and improving unit economics. We believe these results demonstrate that our investments in market expansion, service diversification, and operating capabilities are beginning to scale in a meaningful way.

During the year, we worked to expand both our geographic footprint and our service mix. In Hong Kong, we completed the acquisition of YY Circle Hong Kong in April 2025, entering what the company described as a US$16 billion market. That move gave us a stronger foundation in one of Asia’s most important commercial hubs and positioned us to scale rapidly in hospitality and workforce services.

That early investment in Hong Kong is already paying off. In January 2026, YY Group announced 12 new hotel partnerships in the region, and by March 2026 we had secured a total of 20 strategic partnerships there following eight additional multi-year service agreements. As a result, the company now projects its Hong Kong business could reach HKD 100 million in revenue in 2026, representing more than 1,000% growth over the partial-year 2025 revenue base in that market. This is a strong early example of how our expansion model can create meaningful operating leverage as local scale begins to take hold.

Malaysia also continued to deliver strong momentum. In March 2025, YY Circle Malaysia secured six new strategic deals that were projected to expand its 2025 revenue pipeline to approximately US$13 million. More recently, in March 2026, our Malaysian subsidiary announced plans to grow its retail promoter workforce from roughly 120 personnel to nearly 600, with an expected contribution of approximately US$14 million in 2026 revenue. That kind of growth shows the flexibility of our platform and our ability to move beyond hospitality into adjacent verticals such as retail.

We also advanced our regional footprint in Thailand. YY Group announced plans to expand into Thailand in May 2025, targeting what it described as a US$5 billion casual labor market, and in June 2025 we completed the share transfer of YY Circle Thailand. This gives us another strategic launch point in Southeast Asia and expands our addressable market in a region where demand for reliable, flexible labor solutions remains strong.

At the same time, we broadened our integrated facility management capabilities through acquisitions. In June 2025, YY Group acquired Uniforce Security, a business with US$6.4 million in revenue, entering Singapore’s security market. Later that month, the company also acquired a 53% stake in Transocean Oil Pte. Ltd.’s property investment division, which focuses on premium commercial office units in Singapore. These transactions reflect our strategy of adding adjacent capabilities and assets that can deepen client relationships, support recurring revenue, and diversify the company’s business model.

Technology remained another major theme this year. In July 2025, YY Group launched a robotics integration initiative across key service lines, including hospitality, sanitation, security, and façade cleaning. In August 2025, the company expanded further into AI-enabled operations through the launch of AI-powered customer service and an AI recruitment platform. These initiatives matter because we believe the future of workforce solutions and integrated facility management will combine labor, software, automation, and data-driven tools. We also believe robotics will become an increasingly important part of YY Group’s long-term service platform. Over time, we expect the deployment of robotics across hotels, security, and other service environments to become a more meaningful contributor to our operating model and a key element of how we deliver scalable, technology-enabled solutions to customers around the world. Our goal is not simply to add services, but to build a more scalable and defensible operating model.

We also continued building digital and financial infrastructure around the platform. In September 2025, YY Group announced plans to bring stablecoin payment capabilities to its gig worker platform, and in October 2025, it partnered with Obita to strengthen cross-border payment infrastructure. These efforts are designed to make our platform more efficient, improve payment flexibility, and strengthen support for our international worker and client ecosystem.

On the partnership front, YY Group signed a strategic MOU with Keenon Robotics in August 2025 and entered into a preferred distribution partnership with Graymatics in December 2025 for AI-powered video analytics solutions in Singapore. These partnerships reinforce our view that innovation will be central to how we differentiate YY Group in the years ahead.

We also took steps to strengthen leadership visibility and our corporate profile. In February 2026, our Director of Southeast Asia, Ken Teng, received the HAPA Hospitality Service Entrepreneur Award, reflecting the quality of the team we are building and the market recognition our execution is beginning to earn.

From a balance sheet and capital markets standpoint, we worked to expand our flexibility. In February 2026, YY Group announced unaudited total assets of approximately US$44.0 million, or US$1.11 per share, and net assets of approximately US$24.9 million, or US$0.63 per share, as of June 30, 2025. Later that month, the company announced a US$20 million at-the-market offering facility, giving YY Group another tool to support growth and capital planning. More recently, we also adopted a long-term Bitcoin treasury strategy, with the intention of allocating a portion of excess cash reserves to Bitcoin under a structured and risk-managed framework.

Taken together, these developments point to a company that is expanding in multiple directions at once: geographically, operationally, and strategically. As we continue to grow, we remain focused on disciplined execution, careful integration of new markets, and prudent capital allocation. We believe that sustainable long-term value creation depends not only on growth, but on how that growth is managed.

As Founder and CEO, I remain confident in the long-term opportunity ahead of YY Group. We have expanded our market presence, strengthened our capabilities, and continued to build a more diversified and scalable platform. We also believe robotics will play an increasingly important role in the future of our business as we work to deploy more technology-driven solutions across hotels, security, and other service environments globally. While there is still important work ahead, I believe the Company is better positioned today than it was a year ago, and we remain focused on executing our strategy responsibly and creating long-term value for our shareholders. On behalf of our management team and board of directors, thank you for your continued support and confidence in YY Group.

Sincerely,
Mike Fu
