MYFOOD EXPO 2026 RETURNS TO KLCC THIS MAY, UNITING GOVERNMENT, INDUSTRY AND THE PUBLIC TO STRENGTHEN MALAYSIA’S FOOD ECOSYSTEM

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Every day across Malaysia, café owners plan their menus, small restaurants juggle rising costs, farmers look for better access to markets, and chefs search for fresher, more reliable ingredients. MYFOOD Expo 2026 brings these people together in one place, creating a shared space where ideas, solutions and opportunities meet, all with the aim of building a stronger and more resilient food future for Malaysia and its rakyat, the everyday people who produce, prepare and depend on food.

Returning to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) from 7-9 May 2026, MYFOOD Expo 2026 will be held concurrently with the International Café & Beverage Show (ICBS), forming one of the region’s most comprehensive gatherings for the food, café and beverage community. Previous editions welcomed more than 13,000 attendees from 55 countries, supported by 17 industry conference speakers, reflecting the growing relevance of MYFOOD as a platform that attracts both local and international participation.

Organized by Opulence Exhibition Services Sdn Bhd and supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, MYFOOD Expo 2026 is built on a simple but important belief that food security and economic sustainability begin with strong local businesses and a connected food ecosystem. The Expo is held in collaboration with industry players, associations, academia, state governments and community stakeholders, recognizing that resilience in food systems requires collective effort across sectors and regions.

At its heart, MYFOOD Expo 2026 is about connecting the journey of food from farm to market. For farmers and producers, it offers direct access to chefs, café owners and buyers who value quality and reliability. For cafés and small restaurants, it provides opportunities to discover better sourcing, smarter processes and new partnerships that can improve margins and consistency. For chefs and food entrepreneurs, it is a place to exchange ideas, stay ahead of consumer trends and build relationships that turn creativity into sustainable business.

The Expo focuses on what Malaysians actually cook, serve and consume every day, fresh and semi-fresh produce, locally made ingredients and practical food solutions that support healthier choices without losing sight of commercial realities. By strengthening local production and shortening supply chains, MYFOOD Expo supports the principles of the Slow Food movement in a practical way, ensuring that food systems remain stable and accessible even during times of global uncertainty caused by climate events, supply disruptions or geopolitical conflict.

When local food businesses are productive and resilient, the economic impact stays within communities. This protects livelihoods, stabilizes supply and ensures that the rakyat are not disproportionately affected by external shocks. In this sense, MYFOOD Expo is not just about food, it is about economic sustainability, social resilience and long-term security.

Knowledge sharing is a key part of this journey. University Putra Malaysia (UPM) participates as the Knowledge Partner for MYFOOD Expo 2026, contributing applied expertise in food security, innovation and commercialization. The emphasis is on turning ideas into action, helping local innovations move beyond research and into farms, kitchens, cafés and markets where they can create real impact.

With strong participation from government, industry and academia, MYFOOD Expo 2026 offers a timely and meaningful opportunity for food businesses to be part of a growing movement towards collaboration and resilience. For exhibitors, it is a chance to be seen, heard and discovered. For visitors, it is a place to learn, connect and be inspired. For the wider industry, it is a moment to come together and shape what Malaysia eats next.

MYFOOD Expo 2026 is more than an exhibition, it is where Malaysia’s food community meets to move forward together, for the benefit of businesses, consumers and the rakyat.

More information on MYFOOD Expo 2026, including programmes, exhibitors and how to participate, is available at myfood-expo.com. Food businesses, producers, chefs and industry stakeholders are invited to be part of MYFOOD Expo 2026 and join the movement shaping a more resilient food future for Malaysia.

Bybit Stands With Its Community: Stability, Stable Income, and a Long-Term Commitment Through the Downturn

DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — With the Crypto Fear and Greed Index plunging to historic lows and Bitcoin pulling back sharply from its highs, Bybit, the world’s second‑largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is reaffirming a simple belief: in moments of uncertainty, the community needs stability, clarity, and real opportunities to earn steady income. Rather than stepping back during volatility, Bybit is stepping forward—expanding new opportunities, strengthening fixed-income-style products, and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with its global user base.

“We believe stability is what our users want most right now,” said Helen Liu, Co-CEO at Bybit. “The market will recover — we have no doubt about that. But in the meantime, our job is to help ease the pressure, offer real opportunities to earn stable income, and make sure our community knows that Bybit is right here with them.”

Stability When It Matters Most

Across market cycles, Bybit has seen how quickly sentiment can shift—and how deeply volatility can affect everyday investors. Today, the company is accelerating access to stablecoin yield opportunities and capital-efficient tools designed to help users preserve value and earn predictable returns during uncertain times.

“We want to find every opportunity for our users to earn stable income,” said Helen. “Whether it is on-chain yield through Mantle Vault or capital efficiency through BYUSDT, the goal is the same — make every dollar work harder so that our community can weather this period with less stress and more confidence.”

Bybit believes the current market is also revealing a deeper structural change in investor behavior.

“This cycle is different. Users are not chasing 100x returns — they are looking to protect capital and generate sustainable yield. That shift is structural, not emotional.”

Together With the Community

Bybit will roll out up to $10 million in fixed-income opportunities backed by stablecoins, giving users more ways to earn predictable returns during volatile markets.

“Bybit will launch throughout March to offer stablecoin earn to its community. We are here for the industry for the long haul,” Helen added. “We have always believed in supporting our community — through bull markets and bear markets alike. We support stablecoin initiatives to help alleviate the financial pressure our users face during uncertain times. We invest in CSR and ecosystem development because a thriving industry benefits everyone. This commitment is unwavering — it is fundamental to Bybit’s identity.”

Bybit believes moments of uncertainty define who an industry truly is. The company’s teams remain connected around the clock, communicating openly with partners and users, prioritizing transparency, and acting quickly to keep the community informed and confident.

Together, they express movement, progress, and change. It’s short, bold, and memorable – a name that works across cultures and captures our story,” says Kerstin Enochsson, President Automotive.

As previously communicated, SKF’s objective is to list SKF Vertevo on Nasdaq Stockholm during Q4 2026, subject to the Board of Directors proposing a distribution and listing of the Automotive business and the shareholders’ approval.

TCL Celebrates the Closing of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, Empowering Athletes and Audiences Through Technology

TCL’s Vision of “It’s Your Greatness” Embodied by the World’s Greatest Sporting Event

MILAN, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TCL, a leading global technology company and Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, today celebrated the end of the Olympic Winter Games, a landmark moment for both sporting achievement and as an unprecedented stage for its technology. Throughout Milano Cortina 2026, TCL played a key role in elevating how fans, athletes, and global audiences alike enjoy the event, harnessing its latest innovations to help share the greatest human sporting achievements with unprecedented clarity, scale, and emotional impact.

Across the Olympic Villages, TCL smart home appliances ensured comfort for athletes, while specially optimized display systems enabled the “Athlete Moment,” supporting more than 350 emotional connections between athletes and loved ones.


The emotion and drama of Milano Cortina 2026 was embodied in the stories of the athletes TCL supports as part of Team TCL, whose resilience and pursuit of excellence helped to inspire people worldwide to recognize their own greatness and push beyond personal limits in their daily lives.

Inspired by Zeina’s childhood memories of watching the Olympic Winter Games on television, the mural fused sport, art and technology to bring to life the unique cultural impact of the Olympic Games.


Kirsty Coventry, President of the International Olympic Committee, said: “The Olympic Games are becoming more connected, more digital, more global. TCL technology is transforming how the Olympic Games are experienced, making every moment immersive and emotional. Our partnership is based on shared values — innovation with purpose, always inspiring greatness.

Budget sets out strategies to propel Hong Kong’s innovation and technology development


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 February 2026 – Fast-tracking innovation and technology (I&T) development is a core feature of the 2026-27 Budget, unveiled yesterday (February 25) by Paul Chan, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).

Mr Chan said Hong Kong would be stepping up support measures such as computing power, land and capital, to enhance the city’s influence as a global source of original innovation.”Hong Kong’s strengths in innovative scientific research and commercialisation of research outcomes lie in our internationalised qualities, strong research capabilities, support of financial sector and a rich pool of high-calibre talents,” Mr Chan said.

He added that the Government is pressing ahead with the industrialisation of artificial intelligence (AI) and deepening its integration across various industries, while encouraging wider AI application, referred to as AI+, with an initial focus on life and health technology and embodied AI.

“I will establish and chair the Committee on AI+ and Industry Development Strategy to formulate strategies and create favourable conditions for AI to empower the transformation and development of industries,” Mr Chan said.

“We are making proactive efforts to align with the National AI+ Initiative by promoting ‘industries for AI’ and ‘AI for industries’ through application.”

The Financial Secretary highlighted that the Hong Kong Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Institute Company Limited will come into operation in the second half of this year, to promote AI+ development and transformation of R&D outcomes and advise the Government on relevant matters.

Professor Sun Dong, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, echoed the need for holistic development of AI+ development. “When you talk about AI, you cannot just talk about AI research, or just talk about the infrastructure, we have to do it together. Actually, that is what we have been doing in the past three years. Everything is very important.”

Central to the Government’s efforts in promoting I&T is the San Tin Technopole area in the Northern Metropolis development.

“The San Tin Technopole will provide a large piece of land which can help accelerate the commercialisation of R&D results and provide industrial space for prototyping, pilot and mass production,” Mr Chan said. He proposed injecting $10 billion (US$1.28 billion) as initial capital to take forward the development, while leveraging market resources to accelerate the progress.

Mr Chan also earmarked $10 billion (US$1.28 billion) to accelerate the development of the Hetao Hong Kong Park by engaging the market to speed up the disposal of the remaining land parcels under Phase 1 development, providing key infrastructure, further strengthening support to start-ups and establishing a venture fund.

Mr Chan set aside about $220 million (US$28 million) to establish in Hong Kong the first national manufacturing innovation centre outside the Chinese Mainland. This, he said, reflects the Government’s commitment to implementing the Co-operation Agreement on the Development of New Quality Productive Forces and the Promotion of New Industrialisation signed with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to promote industrial collaboration.

The Budget also sets out support measures for various technology-related emerging industries. Among them is the aerospace industry. The Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises will take the lead to identify aerospace enterprises to develop in Hong Kong. Also, the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited would review the relevant listing requirements to facilitate and attract the listing of aerospace enterprises in Hong Kong.

Noting that low earth orbit satellites can support the development of high-end industries, Mr Chan said the Government would proactively expand telecommunications infrastructure, streamline the relevant licensing regime and promote future 6G applications.

Meanwhile, the $10 billion (US$1.28 billion) Innovation and Technology Industry-Oriented Fund, introduced by the Government to channel market capital to invest in emerging fields of strategic importance, such as life and health technology, AI and robotics, as well as future industries, is expected to commence operation within this year.

“The key is to popularise the understanding and use of AI by all levels of society,” Mr Chan said.

HERNDON, Va., Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ST Engineering iDirect, a global leader in satellite communications, is partnering with leading Mexican connectivity service provider AiTelecom to deploy its next-generation Intuition satellite ground system that will enable the delivery of high-performance connectivity across Mexico. Delivered through the flexible and scalable Intuition Unbound Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) model, this will enable faster network deployment, improved disaster resilience, and expanded access to reliable digital services, advancing Mexico’s efforts toward inclusive digital connectivity.

Intuition Unbound’s as-a-service model provides AiTelecom with predictable operational costs and continuous access to ST Engineering iDirect’s latest technology advancements, ensuring the company’s network scales efficiently as it delivers superior quality of service to its customers.
Intuition Unbound’s as-a-service model provides AiTelecom with predictable operational costs and continuous access to ST Engineering iDirect’s latest technology advancements, ensuring the company’s network scales efficiently as it delivers superior quality of service to its customers.

“For Mexico, satellite-enabled connectivity is no longer just a backup — it’s part of the country´s critical infrastructure. Our partnership with ST Engineering iDirect and the Intuition system enable a resilient, integrated network that ensures communities, industries, and public services remain reliably and efficiently connected, even where terrestrial infrastructure is unavailable, limited or disrupted,” said Orlando Castillo, CEO of AiTelecom.

Through ST Engineering iDirect, AiTelecom will be able to support future-ready connectivity — including NTN (non-terrestrial network)-enabled architectures — while maintaining local control and regulatory alignment. Intuition delivers:

  • Up to 70% resource savings through dynamic, cloud-native scaling of compute requirements.
  • Optimized hardware utilization and a significantly reduced footprint.
  • Cost effective high-density performance, including savings up to 50%.
  • Faster capacity allocation and smarter resource management enabled through Global Bandwidth Management technology combined with Mx-DMA MRC waveform.
  • Telco-grade reliability and security for future cloud deployments.

Additionally, Intuition Unbound’s as-a-service model provides AiTelecom with predictable operational costs and continuous access to ST Engineering iDirect’s latest technology advancements, ensuring the company’s network scales efficiently as it delivers superior quality of service to its customers.

“Our collaboration with AiTelecom combines our global satellite expertise with their strong local operational leadership to extend reliable connectivity into areas where terrestrial networks alone cannot scale,” said Darren Ludington, Regional Vice President, Americas at ST Engineering iDirect. “Intuition and our Unbound business model deliver the technical sophistication and flexibility required to address the unique needs of the Mexican market, enabling AiTelecom to provide high-performance, scalable connectivity with confidence as they grow and adapt to serve customers across the region.”

According to Trade.gov, about 30% of Mexico’s population lives in communities without reliable broadband coverage, effectively excluding them and local businesses from dependable broadband services. Additionally, 1.6 million Mexican businesses may struggle with unreliable, slow, or no broadband, making digital commerce, cloud services, remote work, and modern communications difficult or impossible.

Intuition will underpin AiTelecom’s planned commercial services launch across Mexico in the fourth quarter of 2026, providing scalable, future-proof connectivity to support commercial and government applications.
