Glass-Cutting 10W UV

Cut glass. Engrave deeper. Work faster. Powered by a world-class laser source, the 10W UV laser combines powerful performance with cold UV precision for clean, fine results across a wide range of materials.

Haier to Showcase AI-Powered Living at IFA 2026

From Global Recognition to Global Connection

Over the decades, Haier has established a strong local presence across more than 200 countries and regions, with leading positions in over 30 markets.

This global presence is supported by a network of 10 R&D centers, 35 industrial parks and 173 manufacturing centers worldwide. By combining global capabilities with local insights, Haier develops products, solutions and experiences tailored to consumers’ diverse needs across markets.

This approach has driven sustained global recognition. Haier has ranked as the world’s No.1 major appliances brand by retail volume for 17 consecutive years and has been recognized among the Kantar BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands for eight consecutive years.

Building on this track record, Haier will continue to strengthen its presence in premium markets while developing brands, products and solutions that respond to evolving consumer expectations and create new possibilities for intelligent living.

Leading Through Technology, Connecting Through Sports

Technology has long been a key driver of Haier’s global development. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into products, connected scenarios and smart living ecosystems, Haier is expanding from individual product innovation towards more integrated experiences across the home.

The interconnection between technological development in everyday lives and the cultural centrality of sport provides a powerful platform for closer relationships with consumers. For more than two decades, Haier has developed a global sports partnership portfolio spanning leading football clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool Football Club, as well as major international sporting events including the Australian Open and Roland-Garros.

Over the years, Haier’s sports marketing has evolved from building brand visibility to creating deeper consumer connections through global sports partnerships and locally relevant experiences. Beyond football and established international sporting events, Haier has expanded its sports portfolio across markets, including badminton, marathon running, cricket and basketball.

The partnership with UEFA club competitions, including the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, UEFA Youth League Finals and UEFA Futsal Champions League Finals, represents the next stage of this journey. By bringing together the passion and excellence of elite football with the possibilities of intelligent living, Haier aims to create experiences that extend beyond the stadium and become part of consumers’ everyday lives.

Unveiled during IFA 2026 in Berlin, one of the world’s leading consumer electronics and home appliance exhibitions, the partnership reinforces Haier’s commitment to building stronger connections with consumers worldwide. Together with the UEFA Champions League, Haier will connect the spirit of champions with intelligent living, creating new experiences for consumers and fans around the world.

IKEA Thailand Reframes Children’s Furniture Through the Eyes of Mothers in “For All She Carries”

BANGKOK, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This Mother’s Day, IKEA Thailand looks beyond who children’s furniture is designed for to recognize someone it has been supporting all along ‘mothers’.

IKEA Thailand Reframes Children’s Furniture Through the Eyes of Mothers in “For All She Carries”

Walk through the IKEA Kids section and you’ll find a familiar scene. Children trying out toys, sitting on tiny chairs, or exploring furniture designed around the way they play and grow.

But there is almost always someone else sharing those moments with them.

Their mothers.

Some sit patiently on chairs far too small for them. Some crouch down to play alongside their children. Others end up on the floor, completely immersed in whatever imaginary world their child has created.

At first glance, these may seem like ordinary moments between a mother and her child.

Look a little closer, however, and they reveal just how much a mother carries every day.

She carries her child. The bags. Hundreds of questions. The imagination needed to make up another story on the spot. Along with the laughter, memories, care and countless responsibilities that come with raising a child.

Because no one is born already knowing how to be a mother.

Yet when it comes to their children, mothers often find themselves becoming stronger, more patient, more playful and more imaginative, doing things they never thought they could.

This simple observation became the starting point for IKEA Thailand’s Mother’s Day campaign, “For All She Carries.”

The campaign invites people to look at children’s furniture from a different perspective.

While IKEA children’s furniture is designed around the needs, play and development of children, real life shows that children are rarely the only ones it has to support.

Every time a mother crouches down to play, sits beside her child to read a story, helps them get dressed, answers yet another question or steps into their imaginary world, the furniture is supporting her too.

A child’s chair becomes more than a place for a child to sit.

A storage unit becomes more than somewhere to keep things.

A floor cushion supports more than play.

And a child’s bed can become much more than a place to sleep.

The print series brings this idea to life by revealing a second role hidden within familiar IKEA Kids products.

A floor cushion becomes a salon chair. A child’s bed becomes a runway. A storage unit becomes a trackside seat.

Each execution captures an everyday moment between a mother and her child, showing how furniture made for children quietly becomes part of the many roles mothers take on alongside them.

Together, these pieces support all the moments in which mothers bend, sit, climb, play, tell stories, answer questions, comfort their children and build entire worlds with them.

So this Mother’s Day, IKEA Thailand chose to celebrate mothers through something the brand has always done creating furniture that supports everyday life at home.

But instead of only showing what the furniture was designed to do, “For All She Carries” reveals everything and everyone it ends up supporting in real life.

To bring the idea into the place where these moments naturally happen, the campaign’s print ads were installed inside IKEA stores, within the IKEA Kids section itself.

It is the same environment where mothers are already sitting beside their children, crouching down to play and becoming part of their imaginary worlds.

By placing the work there, the campaign does more than tell mothers a story from a distance. It reaches them while they are living the very moments the work is based on.

And in doing so, it invites them to see the children’s furniture around them differently.

Not simply as something they buy for their children, but as something that has quietly been there for them too, supporting every role, every moment and everything they carry along the way.

Because behind everything she carries, there is something supporting her.

For All She Carries.

Happy Mother’s Day.

MIRAVA brings a new smart boat concept to Europe with $5M angel funding

September 4, 2026

CANNES, FRANCE – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 September 2026 – MIRAVA, a new-generation smart boat company, is preparing for its European debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, following three years of product development and $5M in angel funding to support further development and small-batch production and deliveries.

Designed around the idea of giving people greater freedom on the water, MIRAVA combines intelligent navigation, modular design and multiple recreational functions within a single 7.9-metre boat.

Unlike conventional boats designed primarily around one activity, MIRAVA is positioned as a flexible recreational platform for cruising, family time, watersports, fishing and socialising. Its modular stern can transform the aft area into an expanded platform or be separated from the main boat to operate independently as a small tender.

The company is also integrating autonomous boating technologies designed to reduce the complexity of operating a boat. These include autonomous docking, autonomous departure, dynamic positioning and autonomous following. A smart wearable allows the boat to follow its user while they are swimming, paddle boarding or diving.

MIRAVA’s product development has been refined over the past three years, with the company focusing on making advanced marine technology practical and intuitive rather than simply adding more onboard technology.

The boat will be presented in both fully electric and petrol versions. The electric model features a 100 kWh battery, 150 hp maximum power and a top speed of 20 knots, while the petrol version delivers up to 250 hp and 30 knots. Both versions measure 7.9 metres in length, with a beam of 2.44 metres and capacity for up to eight people.

The $5M angel funding will support further product development as well as small-batch production and deliveries as MIRAVA moves towards its next stage of commercialisation.

MIRAVA will make its European debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, Port Canto, Stand POWER132, before continuing its European presence at boot Düsseldorf 2027.

The company sees Europe as an important market for demonstrating how intelligent technology, modular design and a more flexible approach to recreational boating can create a new experience on the water.
