HONG KONG, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GIBO Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: GIBO), Asia’s leading innovation-driven AI ecosystem, today announced the next phase of its aerial intelligence roadmap, expanding the application of its GIBO.ai Calculation Engine beyond a single platform to establish a scalable, modular AI-powered eVTOL ecosystem serving commercial, industrial, and environmental markets.

This announcement follows GIBO’s earlier strategic collaboration with Japan Benling Zhushi Clubs Limited and marks a significant step in transforming AI-enabled eVTOL aircraft into adaptable, multi-purpose aerial intelligence platforms capable of supporting a wide range of real-world use cases.

From Individual Aircraft to a Modular Aerial Intelligence Ecosystem

Rather than focusing on a single aircraft configuration, GIBO.ai is designed as a flexible calculation and orchestration layer that can be deployed across multiple eVTOL platforms and mission profiles. By decoupling AI intelligence from any one hardware form factor, GIBO enables rapid adaptation of aerial systems to meet diverse operational requirements.

Through this expanded framework, AI-powered eVTOL applications can support infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring, industrial surveying, remote access logistics, and complex terrain assessment. Each aircraft functions as a mobile data and intelligence node, continuously learning and improving performance through real-time computation and post-mission analysis.

AI Calculation at the Core of Scalable Aerial Applications

At the heart of this ecosystem is the GIBO.ai Calculation Engine, which provides real-time perception, decision modeling, and system optimization. The engine processes flight dynamics, environmental data, sensor inputs, and mission parameters to enable safer operations, higher efficiency, and intelligent adaptation to changing conditions.

By standardizing AI computation across platforms, GIBO.ai allows partners to deploy new aerial use cases without redesigning core intelligence systems, significantly reducing development time and accelerating commercialization.

Unlocking Commercial and Sustainability Value Through Aerial Intelligence

The expanded aerial ecosystem positions AI-powered eVTOLs not only as transportation assets, but as data-generating intelligence platforms. High-resolution environmental data, terrain modeling, and operational insights can be transformed into actionable intelligence for industries such as energy, infrastructure development, environmental services, and advanced mobility.

This approach aligns with growing demand for data-driven sustainability solutions, enabling organizations to better understand environmental conditions, optimize resource planning, and improve operational transparency through AI-calculated insights.

“Scalability is the true breakthrough in AI-powered aviation.”

“Our focus is not on a single aircraft, but on building an ecosystem where AI intelligence can scale across platforms, missions, and industries,” said Zelt Kueh, CEO of GIBO Holdings Ltd.

“With GIBO.ai, aerial systems evolve from standalone vehicles into intelligent nodes within a broader data and computation network. This is how we unlock long-term commercial value and accelerate the adoption of AI-driven aerial solutions.”

Laying the Groundwork for Future Smart Mobility Integration

This expanded aerial intelligence ecosystem forms a foundational layer within GIBO’s broader vision of integrated smart mobility. Over time, AI-powered eVTOL platforms are expected to interoperate with ground-based EV systems, logistics networks, and urban infrastructure, creating a unified intelligence framework across air and ground mobility.

By advancing this modular, scalable approach, GIBO continues to position GIBO.ai as a horizontal AI platform capable of supporting the next generation of intelligent transportation and industrial systems.

About GIBO Holdings Limited

GIBO Holdings Ltd. is a unique and integrated AIGC animation streaming platform with extensive functionalities provided to both viewers and creators that serves a broad community of young people across Asia to create, publish, share and enjoy AI-generated animation video content. With over 83 million registered users and advanced AI-powered tools, GIBO seeks to redefine the landscape of digital content creation.

OTTAWA, ON, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — One hundred years after the incorporation of the country’s largest veteran support and community service organization, known today as The Royal Canadian Legion (the Legion), the Royal Canadian Mint has issued finely crafted pure gold and silver coins to recognize the Legion’s 100th anniversary. The Legion’s century-long mission of supporting Veterans, including serving military, and RCMP members and their families, promoting Remembrance, and serving Canada and its communities is celebrated on the 2026 $100 Pure Gold Coin, the 2026 Fine Silver Proof Dollar, and the 2026 Fine Silver Proof Set, all of which are available as of today.

Canadian artist Laurie McGaw has conceived a split image reverse design on the 2026 $100 Pure Gold coin that illustrates the Legion’s past, present and future. The right half of the coin features two present-day members in Legion dress, facing a collage of First World War symbols consisting of a Canadian infantryman, an S.E.5a fighter aircraft, and the distant silhouette of HMCS Niobe, a battle cruiser from the recently formed Naval Service of Canada. These elements represent Canada’s contribution to the Allied effort and the First World War sacrifices that gave rise to The Royal Canadian Legion. Poppies above and below, overlapping both scenes, symbolize the enduring cycle of Remembrance.

The 2026 Proof Silver Dollar’s reverse was designed by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn. It shows two Legion members standing in Remembrance, before a maple leaf from the Legion’s official crest. Beneath this scene appears an arrangement of 14 poppies, one for each Canadian province and territory, and one for the Legion’s international branches, as well as a forget-me-not flower, symbolizing Remembrance in Newfoundland and Labrador. This floral feature is overlaid with a banner bearing the dates “1926” and “2026”, and three poppies from the Legion’s official crest at its centre.

The 2026 Fine Silver Proof Set contains a selectively rose gold-plated version of the Fine Silver Proof Dollar. The obverses of all these collectibles feature the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

In addition to these historic keepsakes, the Mint has launched several new collector coins, including:

• The 2026 $10 Fine Silver Coin – Gleaming Maple;
• The 2026 $10 Fine Silver Coin – Welcome to the World!
• The 2026 $20 Fine Silver Coin – Celebrate Love;
• The 2026 $30 Fine Silver Coin – Precious Maple Leaves;
• The 2026 $50 Fine Silver Coin – Triumphant Dragon;

Independent analysis shows reduced operational costs, accelerated AI initiatives, and significant performance gains

BOSTON, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Starburst, the data platform for apps and AI, today announced the release of an independent third-party Economic Validation Study: Economic Benefits of Starburst’s Data & AI Platform conducted by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), now part of Omdia. The report demonstrates that organizations using Starburst’s Data & AI Platform can achieve a 45% lower total cost of ownership (TCO) over three years compared with alternative data platforms and specialized tools.

“Enterprises are under enormous pressure to scale AI and analytics without ballooning costs or adding complexity,” said Justin Borgman, CEO and co-founder of Starburst. “This independent ESG validation confirms what our customers tell us every day: when organizations unify access to all their data—across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments—and eliminate unnecessary data movement, they can simplify architectures and reduce tooling, lower total cost of ownership at scale and ultimately move faster towards AI.”

The analysis, based on customer interviews and ESG’s independent economic modeling, found that organizations adopting Starburst significantly reduced infrastructure complexity, accelerated analytics and AI initiatives, and improved operational efficiency while scaling data access across distributed environments.

One Starburst customer interviewed for the report highlights these efficiency gains, noting that replacing an internally built solution with Starburst allowed them to delete 15 applications, and five cloud services and internal tooling methods, resulting in significant time and cost savings.

According to the study, ESG modeled a data-driven SaaS organization with $210 million in annual revenue and found that Starburst delivered a three-year return on investment (ROI) of 414%, driven by cost savings, improved productivity, avoided downtime, and faster time to insight.

Key validated findings from the ESG analysis include:

• 45% reduction in three-year total cost of ownership (TCO), compared with alternative data platforms
• 67% reduction in development and integration costs, eliminating custom connectors and tooling
• 65% reduction in data processing costs, including ETL, transformation, and egress charges
• 85% reduction in storage costs, enabled by query-in-place access and decoupled compute and storage
• 39% reduction in cloud and infrastructure spending, through improved price-performance and autoscaling
• Up to $1.7 million in avoided downtime risk over three years due to improved platform reliability
• Potential incremental revenue gains of $17.3M to $185M over three years from faster innovation and AI adoption

ESG found that Starburst’s federated, open data architecture allowed organizations to access data where it lives, across clouds, on-premises systems, and data lakes, without costly migrations, reducing complexity while improving governance and security.

The report also highlights Starburst’s impact on accelerating AI and analytics initiatives. Customers reported faster onboarding of new data sources, dramatic query performance improvements, up to 10x faster in some cases, and the ability to scale AI-driven workloads without proportional increases in staffing or infrastructure costs.

“Organizations are under pressure to extract more value from increasingly distributed data while controlling costs,” said Aviv Kaufmann, Practice Director and Principal Validation Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. “The Starburst Data Platform for Apps and AI provides a compelling combination of unified data access, improved price-performance, and operational efficiency that enables faster innovation with significantly lower total cost.”
