MADRID, Jan. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Roborock, the global leader in home robotics engineered to simplify cleaning in daily life, has announced today a strategic global partnership with Real Madrid Football Club’s First Men and First Women teams, widely ranked as one of the greatest football clubs in history. Under the umbrella theme of “The Greatest Meeting The Greatest”, both brands embark on a multi-year journey that begins with a joint brand experience at the global Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026, running in Las Vegas from January 6 to 9, where both consumers and business partners will be able to interact with innovative displays featuring both brands. Under this agreement, Roborock becomes Real Madrid’s official global partner in the cleaning vacuum category.

The agreement signed in Madrid between Roborock President Mr Quan Gang and Mr Emilio Butragueño, Director of Institutional Relations of Real Madrid, responds to a deep affinity between the brand ethos of both organizations, which have achieved remarkable historical performance with innovation as common denominator.

Born 11 years ago, Roborock has been named in 2024 by research firm IDC the No.1 best-selling brand globally in its Robotic Vacuum Cleaner vertical (1). Roborock was born by bringing to the market innovations that dramatically improved the category’s performance. Widely known for accelerating the adoption of robot vacuums around the world by making them navigate smartly around the house through its pioneering Laser Distance Sensor (LDS) technology, Roborock has continued investing in innovation and is now fully immersed in releasing AI-driven robotics that relieve human intervention in the cleaning process. One of its latest developments, the Roborock Saros Z70, is the world’s only commercially availiable robot vacuum with an AI-assisted robotic arm that users can customize to help pick up small obstacles such as socks and papers from the floor.

Roborock president, Mr Quan Gang, comments: “At Roborock, we believe true innovation exists to free people’s time and make everyday life smarter and more meaningful. As a global leader in smart cleaning, we are proud to partner with Real Madrid — a club that represents the highest standard of excellence, precision, and relentless pursuit of greatness. Both Roborock and Real Madrid are shaped by their communities — guided by millions of users and fans who inspire us to continuously raise the bar. Through this partnership, we aim to bring ‘Real Smart Cleaning’ to life for consumers worldwide, creating smarter homes, more effortless living, and experiences that connect people to greatness both on the pitch and at home.“

Equally, Real Madrid has by several metrics, the most remarkable performance as a football club and has played a major role in the history of the sport itself by nurturing a winning culture based on talent and achieving strong fandom enthusiasm that transcends national borders. Real Madrid is the world’s football club with the highest amount of achievements. Holding 15 Champions League titles, 36 La Liga titles, and 20 Copa del Rey titles, FIFA also recognized Real Madrid as the best club of the 20th century, an honor no other club has received.

Emilio Butragueño, Director of Institutional Relations with Real Madrid, explains: “Partnering with top-tier companies helps us grow as a club. We share core values with them, such as the pursuit of excellence, leadership, and the constant ambition to improve. We are very pleased, as we are confident that this marks the beginning of a highly rewarding and long-lasting relationship”

Looking ahead, Roborock will gain prominent brand presence across Real Madrid’s home matches at the iconic Bernabéu Stadium, reaching hundreds of millions of fans worldwide. The partnership will bring Roborock’s smart-cleaning innovations to life through stadium exposure, campaigns and player-led storytelling that translate the meaning of “Real Smart Cleaning” from the pitch to the home. Both brands will also collaborate on global fan experiences and immersive activations, while working alongside the Real Madrid Foundation to help create cleaner, safer and more supportive environments for children and families. As artificial intelligence continues to transform daily life, Roborock remains committed to advancing intelligent robotics and home automation, enabling consumers to enjoy a freer, more effortless lifestyle while Roborock takes care of the cleaning.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia, Jan. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International Education group at Cambridge University Press & Assessment (Cambridge), has achieved a major milestone in Southeast Asia, with Cambodia formally recognising the completion of three Cambridge International AS Level subjects as equivalent to the Cambodian Grade 12 Senior High School Diploma. This landmark recognition strengthens progression pathways for students in the region and reflects growing alignment between national systems and internationally benchmarked learning.

This decision follows a constructive meeting with H.E. Dr Hang Chuon Naron, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Youth and Sport. It represents Cambridge International’s first national equivalency agreement in Southeast Asia expanding access for Cambodian students to internationally benchmarked learning.

Under the new framework:

• Three Cambridge International AS Level subjects are now considered to hold equivalent value to the Cambodian Senior High School Diploma for the purposes of recognition and further study.
• Each Cambridge International A Level subject is regarded as comparable to the completion of first year of the corresponding course at undergraduate studies in Cambodian universities.
• Cambodian higher education institutions may admit holders of these Cambridge International qualifications, provided they also meet relevant literacy and numeracy requirements.

H.E. Ambassador Dominic Williams, The British Embassy Phnom Penh, said: “Cambridge is a world-class curriculum, used in over 10,000 schools in over 160 countries. I am delighted that ever more Cambodian parents and students are choosing Cambridge AS and A levels to develop their potential and open up global opportunities, including pathways to the best universities overseas. 

I am grateful to Deputy Prime Minister Hang Chuon Naron for granting formal recognition of equivalency for AS and A levels within the Cambodian system. This makes it even easier for Cambridge students to access the best study opportunities in Cambodia, and to receive official recognition for their hard work and success. I look forward to seeing the Cambridge curriculum continue to expand opportunities in Cambodia, particularly to young people in provinces outside Phnom Penh.”

Kanjna Paranthaman, Regional Director, Southeast Asia & Pacific, for International Education at Cambridge, said: “This recognition is a powerful milestone for students in Cambodia and a significant moment for the wider region. Our mission is to help every learner develop the knowledge and skills to thrive in a changing world, and this agreement creates a more direct pathway from Cambridge classrooms into Cambodian universities. We are deeply grateful to the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport for their leadership and partnership in expanding these opportunities.”

This development underscores Cambodia’s commitment to future readiness and aligns with a wider regional trend of governments recognising credible international qualifications that support mobility, quality and progression.
