NetDragon Showcases AI-Powered Education Solutions at UNESCO Digital Learning Week 2025

Company highlights AI Content Factory and partnership with Open-Quest Academy to advance global education equity

HONG KONG, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — NetDragon Websoft Holdings Limited (“NetDragon” or the “Company”, Hong Kong Stock Code: 777), a global leader in building internet communities, was invited to participate in UNESCO’s Digital Learning Week, held from September 2–5 at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, under the theme “AI and the Future of Education”.

NetDragon was featured at key events including the opening ceremony and parallel forums. As the only corporate invitee, it joined over 30 education ministers and senior officials from the UK, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Türkiye, the UAE and other nations at the Ministerial Roundtable.

Dr. Simon Leung, Vice Chairman of NetDragon, emphasized in his address at the opening ceremony that the future of education must be a collaboration that transcends academic boundaries and national frontiers, enabled by technology.

During the event, NetDragon showcased a range of its AI education capabilities and products and  also explained why Open-Quest Academy (“Open-Q”)  chose to partner with NetDragon. Among the featured innovations were the interactive AI digital human, the Promethean ActivPanel 10 interactive panel, the ROKID AR immersive learning experience, and the “E-Library for Teachers”. The demonstrations drew global attention and garnered acclaim from international attendees.

Addressing Global Content Creation Challenges

Since the resurgence of large language models (LLMs) in 2023, AI has been a key driver in the acceleration of digital education worldwide. Dr. Leung underscored the transformative role of AI in education at the event.

The global education community continues to grapple with significant challenges, including the shortage and uneven distribution of education resources, as well as the excessive concentration of content within limited regions and languages. During the pandemic, over 500 million students lacked remote learning access, 72% of whom were in underserved regions. Meanwhile, 90% of open educational resources originate from Western countries, with the majority dominated by English.

To address these gaps, NetDragon created the AI Content Factory–a scalable, cost-efficient platform for culturally adaptive content production. By transforming educators’ tacit knowledge into structured data and enabling intelligent multi-agent collaboration across the content creation lifecycle, the AI Content Factory creates a self-improving system that combines human oversight with scalable AI-driven production. Its dual-cycle quality control mechanism integrates real-time teacher feedback and expert reviews, ensuring both accuracy and continuous improvement.

A prime example is the AI Education Platform launched in partnership with Thailand’s Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI) in May 2025. The platform provides AI-powered vocational training to students and young people across Thailand, aligning with the nation’s “Education 6.0” strategy while supporting growth in high-potential fields like AI, electric vehicles, and semiconductors. Beyond Thailand, with support from the World Bank, NetDragon is also advancing digital school transformation in countries including Cameroon. Going forward, the company will continue to leverage the AI Content Factory to deliver highly customized education solutions worldwide.

Partnership with Open-Q

NetDragon, together with the attending guests, witnessed the launch of Open-Q. Open-Q is an open, future-oriented education ecosystem. With education hubs and content creation centers worldwide, Open-Q brings together experts, teachers, and practitioners to collaborate on metaverse-based learning and teaching platforms. Anchored in its three core principles—technology for equity, co-creation of resources, and incentive-driven participation—Open-Q delivers high-quality, localized digital content to advance equitable and effective education worldwide.

Data shows that the unemployment rate among bachelor’s degree holders aged 20–24 has risen by 29% over the past four to five years. In certain fields, such as IT and computer engineering, the rate has surged more than 100% compared with 2018–2019. Amid this challenge, Open-Q is harnessing the power of AI to provide new opportunities and guidance for the future. A core feature of Open-Q is its “Learn-and-Earn” model, a learning community where learners acquire job-ready skills, educators are rewarded for high-quality contributions, and the entire ecosystem benefits from an expanding shared knowledge base.

The decision to partner with NetDragon is grounded in the Company’s demonstrated expertise in platform development, proven through multiple country-level initiatives. The Company’s collaborative history with UNESCO-affiliated institutions further solidified this partnership. In 2021, NetDragon jointly launched the “E-Library for Teachers” with UNESCO IITE—a platform that now supports more than 100,000 educators worldwide, demonstrating NetDragon’s sustained commitment to promoting educational equity through technology.

Looking ahead, NetDragon will leverage its AI Content Factory as a core AI engine to deepen collaborations with UNESCO, national governments, leading global universities, and corporations. Together, they aim to create an educational ecosystem that transcends academic boundaries and national borders—accelerating the vision of a future where everyone can learn anywhere, anytime.

Bybit Establishes New B2B Unit to Drive Institutional Adoption of Digital Assets

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today announced the launch of its Business-to-Business Unit (BBU), a new division dedicated to serving institutional and enterprise clients. The BBU will provide comprehensive solutions across secure custody, efficient settlement, and access to tokenized products, forming the cornerstone of Bybit’s institutional strategy and accelerating the convergence of traditional finance and digital assets.

The establishment of the BBU comes at a pivotal moment as institutional requirements rapidly evolve. Traditional investors are placing greater interest in digital assets and raising the industry standard, demanding capital-efficient, risk-managed solutions that mirror traditional finance while unlocking new opportunities in digital assets. Bybit is uniquely positioned to meet these needs at this critical juncture.

One of the most pressing needs is for off-exchange custody and triparty settlement models, which allow institutions to hold assets with trusted custodians, including banks, while retaining live trading credit. This structure significantly reduces counterparty risk and has become a baseline in institutional infrastructure. Bybit is addressing this gap by building custody and settlement frameworks that align with institutional expectations and regulatory best practices.

At the same time, real-world assets (RWAs) are emerging as both collateral and investable products. Institutions increasingly want to pledge short-duration, yield-bearing assets such as tokenized money market funds, Treasury bills, and receivables — rather than leaving capital idle. They also seek direct access to compliant tokenized issuances distributed through trusted platforms.

Through the new BBU, Bybit will focus on bridging these capabilities:

  • Integrated off-exchange custody and triparty settlement to de-risk exposure without sacrificing market access.
  • RWA collateral programs enable clients to pledge tokenized high-quality assets for margin and trading credit.
    Two-way distribution pipelines for tokenized products, connecting Web3 clients seeking access to traditional finance investments, and corporates exploring digital asset strategies, looking to enter the crypto market.
  • Digital Treasury Asset (DTA) solutions, supporting traditional companies in allocating a portion of their corporate treasury into crypto with security, compliance, and yield optimization.

Yoyee Wang Appointed Head of BBU

The new BBU brings together Bybit’s Institutional (INS) team and B2B initiatives into a unified powerhouse, led by Yoyee Wang, the newly appointed Head of BBU.

Since joining Bybit in 2021, Yoyee has held several senior leadership roles, most recently serving as Global Head of Treasury and Asset Management, where she built and managed the company’s global portfolio strategies and liquidity framework. She brings more than a decade of international experience across North America, Asia, and Europe, including positions as a trading risk analyst and portfolio manager at the Royal Bank of Canada. This unique combination of crypto-native expertise and traditional finance experience makes her exceptionally well positioned to guide the unit’s growth.

“Institutions are looking for trusted partners who understand both the rigor of traditional finance and the innovation of crypto,” said Yoyee Wang, Head of BBU at Bybit. “At Bybit, we are building a complete business loop that integrates custody, liquidity, and yield — giving our clients not just market access, but a strategic edge in this new era.”

Valerion Returns to IFA with Enhanced VisionMaster Max: Better Blacks, Rainbow-Free Picture, and New Wireless Dolby Atmos System

Enhanced visual performance and the ThunderBeat™ wireless surround sound system are unveiled at IFA as a historic Kickstarter projector becomes the first to be equipped with Gigabit Ethernet

BERLIN, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Valerion, a leading specialist in home cinema projectors and the premium sub-brand of AWOL Vision, returns to IFA 2025 with the final production version of its record-breaking VisionMaster Max projector, now featuring breakthrough black-level performance, revolutionary rainbow effect eliminating technology, and immersive wireless surround sound. Set to begin commercial shipping in October, the upgraded RGB laser projector debuts a multitude of new and enhanced features, as well as a dedicated ThunderBeat™ sound system at IFA 2025, that deliver stunning contrast, remarkable clarity in dark scenes, exceptional sound, and true cinematic immersion.

Valerion Returns to IFA with Enhanced VisionMaster Max
Valerion Returns to IFA with Enhanced VisionMaster Max

After becoming the most funded projector in Kickstarter history (raising over $10 million), the VisionMaster Max really is “the new black.” Visitors can experience the flagship projector first-hand at Booth #H22-113, alongside other standout projectors from Valerion and AWOL Vision.

A New Benchmark in Home Entertainment

The latest version of VisionMaster Max introduces upgrades that bring it closer to professional-grade performance and makes it the world’s first lifestyle projector with interchangeable lenses for unlimited projection flexibility and lightning-quick Gigabit Ethernet connection.

It has upgraded native contrast 5,000:1 (up from 4,000:1) and EBL (Enhanced Black Level) contrast of 50,000:1 (up from 15,000:1), that delivers superior depth, shadow detail, and emotional intensity to every frame. Powered by the proprietary NoirScene™ Dark Field Engine System, which combines a precision IRIS aperture that regulates light intake across varying brightness scenarios, stray light shielding, and EBL™ algorithm, the projector renders dark scenes with breathtaking clarity and dramatic tension, redefining what’s possible in black field performance.

The precision IRIS aperture is a mechanical component that regulates the amount of light passing through an optical system. Unlike a dynamic iris, it remains fixed during playback, ensuring more stable luminance and easier calibration. To further improve image clarity and contrast, the stainless-steel blades of the aperture are thoughtfully coated with heat-resistant black paint. This design enhancement significantly boosts the native contrast ratio, producing deeper, more lifelike blacks, adding depth and dimensionality to every scene, improving accuracy in dark tones and color gradation, maintaining consistent luminance across varying brightness levels, and reducing the need for frequent recalibration.

Enhancing its visual performance even further, the projector introduces a world-first Anti-RBE (rainbow effects) technology, pushing the boundaries of what DLP projectors can achieve and setting a new industry standard. This breakthrough eliminates 99.99% of rainbow effects, which occur when rapid color separation creates distracting flashes of red, green, and blue. Anti-RBE technology blends individual color sequences so rapidly that the human eye perceives a seamless, natural image, effectively eliminating the rainbow effect.

Additionally, a boost in brightness to 3,500 ISO lumens (up from 3,000) elevates its visual clarity and brightness to an entirely new level.

“A Valerion experience is not simply viewed. It’s inhabited,” said Andy Zhao, Founder and CEO of Valerion. “With VisionMaster Max, we’ve created more than a projector; we’ve crafted an emotional instrument. From the industry’s best black-level performance to the seamless integration of Dolby Atmos® surround sound through our ThunderBeat™ system, every element is engineered to fully immerse you in the story. Whether you’re watching an epic blockbuster or battling through a high-octane gaming sequence, VisionMaster Max delivers an experience so vivid, so dynamic, and so acoustically precise, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into another world.”

Thanks to its interchangeable glass lenses with both physical and digital optical zoom, the Valerion VisionMaster Max adapts seamlessly to virtually any room or environment. With a variable throw ratio of 0.9–2.0:1, it supports everything from short-throw projection in compact spaces to long-throw installations in larger venues. The native throw ratio of 0.9–1.5:1 is ideal for tight spaces, while an optional auxiliary lens extends the range to 1.5–2.0:1, perfect for expansive, long-distance setups. The auxiliary lens features a patented bayonet mount with an open, flexible structure, ensuring compatibility with lenses from other leading brands.

Additional highlights include:

  • Gigabit Ethernet + WiFi 6E: Enjoy lightning-fast connectivity for seamless 4K streaming, online gaming,
  • Smart OS: Built-in Google TV with Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced, HDR10+, and AI scene optimization.
  • Advanced Chipset: Powered by the AI-enhanced MT9618 SoC with 4GB RAM, 128GB eMMC for ultra-smooth performance, fast boot times, and responsive navigation—perfect for gaming and high-speed content.
  • Smart As Well As Bright: Fully integrates with Google HomeKit, Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Control4 for effortless smart home control.

Immersive Audio, Unleashed

Also debuting at IFA 2025, the ThunderBeat™ 5.1.2 Wireless Surround Sound System is optimized for Valerion projectors. This ear-blowing setup is a true Dolby Atmos® system with ultra-low latency and wireless freedom. Its authentic 5.1.2 channel layout creates a dome-shaped soundstage with 360-degree coverage that delivers cinema-level audio quality, bringing the blockbuster experience home.
