SYDNEY, May 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fox ESS, a global leader in renewable energy solutions, attended Smart Energy 2026 during 6-7 May as a platinum sponsor. At the event, Fox ESS showcased its next-generation approach to solar storage and EV charging solution, delivering a seamless, future-ready energy experience for homeowners and installers across Australia.

Integrated Solutions Tailored for Aussie Homes

At Smart Energy 2026, Fox ESS highlighted its storage-to-charging solution, designed to make everyday energy use more convenient for local residents. With performance-led products and proven market traction, Fox ESS is set to play its part in building a more resilient energy future for Australia.

Battery Systems

Fox ESS continues to build momentum in the battery market. Sunwiz, an Australian solar consultancy, recently reported that Fox ESS ranked No.1 in March for installation capacity. And the company also revealed it has installed more than 25,000 systems in April. During the exhibition, Sunwiz presented Fox ESS with an award, recognising the company as Top Solar Company for Fastest Growing Battery.

  • CQ7 V6+ High Voltage Battery (42kWh and above)
    Building on Fox ESS’ proven strengths, compact design and high capacity, CQ7 V6+ is well suited to medium-sized households and ensure the free use of electricity and maximize the self-consumption.
  • EQ4800 High Voltage Battery (28kWh)
    A reliable choice for smaller households, designed for efficient day-to-day energy storage.

Alongside its battery range, Fox ESS showcased all-in-one systems, including Stackable AIO and EVO, designed to simplify installation while maintaining a high standard of design and presentation.

Inverters

Fox ESS offers a range of inverters to suit local requirements, supported by up to 200% PV oversizing and a 10-year product warranty.

  • Single-phase: H1‑G2 (3–6kW); KH series (7–10.5kW)
  • Three-phase: H3 Smart (5–15kW); H3 Pro (15–29.9kW); H3 Plus (50–125kW)

EV Chargers

With EV adoption accelerating, Fox ESS also offers EV charging solutions with solar linkage, designed to work across its inverter portfolio. The chargers provide robust, smart energy management, including dynamic load balancing to help protect home circuits.

  • A Series (7.3kW / 11kW / 22kW): IP65 and IK08 protection, OCPP-compliant.
  • L Series (7.3kW / 11kW): straightforward installation with multiple colour options.

Big Battery Still Takes Centre Stage

As the Cheaper Home Battery Program moves into a new phase under an updated rebate policy, interest in larger battery systems continues to grow, particularly as more households consider EV upgrades amid rising fuel costs. More EVs typically mean households need greater energy availability, making higher-capacity storage an increasingly attractive option.

Looking ahead, from 1 July 2026, the Australian Government’s Solar Sharer Offer (SSO) will provide eligible households with three hours of free daily electricity to align with peak solar generation. Households with larger batteries will be well placed to make the most of this opportunity.

Fox ESS is also working with local VPP partners, including Amber Electric and Origin Loop VPP, helping homeowners unlock maximum value while supporting greater grid stability.

Maimai Comes Alive at the Exhibition

Visitors to the Fox ESS stand experienced a full programme of brand activations across the event. Following the online announcement, Sydney served as Maimai’s first physical stop, bringing the community together for face-to-face engagement. Attendees queued to take photos with the brand’s friendly and recognisable mascot.

Long-Term Commitment to Australia

Fox ESS has opened two local offices in Melbourne and Sydney, with more than 30 dedicated specialists supporting local customer needs. The company is also looking to play a wider role in Australia’s energy transition.

Notably, Ian Thorpe made his first in-person appearance at Fox Night, where he presented partners with awards. At the event party, Fox ESS also hosted a battery installation challenge, featuring eight rounds of competition, with the final winners receiving a range of prizes.

“We’re delighted to see such a strong result following the rollout of local policy. With nearly 400,000 Australian households now installing batteries, Fox ESS has played a key role, but this is only the beginning. We’re committed to keeping momentum and helping make a smarter, more reliable energy future a reality for more homes.” said Brooks Richard Geng, APAC & Middle East Managing Director, Fox ESS.

Xinhua Silk Road: Weihai’s “county getaway” boom drives holiday tourism beyond city limits

BEIJING, May 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Weihai, a coastal city in east China’s Shandong Province, saw a notable shift in its May Day holiday tourism this year, with county-level destinations drawing significant visitor traffic away from the downtown core.

On the first day of the holiday, an immersive sunrise event at the Half Moon Bay Beach in Huancui District kicked off, featuring a flower festival, beach concerts, and a parade of the “Twelve Flower Deities”. The local tourism group said the event was designed to replace passive sightseeing with interactive, all-day experiences.

County-level attractions rolled out new offerings across the board. In Rongcheng, an upgraded live-action show, “Eastward Quest: Ode to Chengshan”, debuted at Chengshantou scenic area. Wendeng District launched its large-scale historical performance, “Dreaming of Qin Dynasty: A Royal Procession in Wendeng”, complete with imperial edict readings, ancient music, dance, and martial arts. The Economic and Technological Development Zone introduced a youth study tour series, while Xixiakou Resort hosted interactive experiences.

New products also hit the market. Rongcheng’s Jiming Island launched a cliffside swing. Rushan’s Silver Beach Ocean Park expanded its leisure offerings, and Duofu Mountain scenic area held a rural folk performance festival. Wendeng brought local intangible cultural heritage items including Lu embroidery, Jiaodong flower-shaped steamed buns aboard the tourist train.

In addition, Torch Hi-tech Science park hosted open-air concerts with local musicians, while Dongpu Bay in the Economic and Technological Development Zone held three consecutive nights of beach parties, all at full capacity.

Rongcheng was spotlighted as a model “county getaway” destination at the 2026 Shandong High-Quality Cultural and Tourism Industry Development Conference in April.

According to the culture and tourism department of Weihai, the surge in county-level tourism has effectively drawn overflow visitors away from the city center, creating a complementary urban-rural tourism pattern.

VinFast Deepens Its EV Push in the Middle East Through Technology and Smart Mobility

As Gulf markets accelerate toward smart and sustainable mobility, VinFast is expanding its EV presence in the Middle East with technology-focused products, connected vehicle capabilities, and long-term ownership solutions.


DUBAI, UAE – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 May 2026 – The Middle East is increasingly emerging as one of the next major battlegrounds for global electric vehicle brands, particularly as younger consumers across Gulf countries show rising interest in smart, technology-focused mobility solutions that combine premium specifications with advanced software and digital experiences. That shift has opened the door for newer EV manufacturers to compete alongside more established automotive brands.

The opportunity reflects larger market dynamics already transforming the region. Asian EV brands have rapidly expanded their footprint across Gulf countries in recent years, supported by growing demand for feature-rich vehicles, manufacturing scale advantages, and increasingly competitive pricing.

Against that backdrop, VinFast is positioning itself as part of a broader transformation reshaping the automotive landscape across the region. As governments accelerate investments in renewable energy, charging infrastructure, and smart city development, the transition toward electric mobility is gaining momentum across the Gulf.

For VinFast, the Middle East represents a strategic growth market within its wider international expansion plan. The company has been strengthening its presence with the VF 8 electric SUV, targeting consumers seeking a combination of advanced technology, premium features, and long-term ownership value.

VinFast’s broader strategy aligns closely with those changing consumer expectations. Rather than operating solely as a conventional carmaker, the company is developing a vertically integrated EV ecosystem that combines intelligent software, connected services, and smart manufacturing capabilities.

Globally, VinFast has delivered more than 400,000 vehicles and accumulated several years of real-world driving data. That foundation has supported the development of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, connected vehicle technologies, and over-the-air software capabilities designed to continuously improve the ownership experience.

In the Middle East market, the VF 8 is positioned around technology, comfort, and practicality for regional driving conditions. The all-electric SUV offers dual-motor all-wheel drive capability with up to 402 horsepower in the Plus variant and a driving range of up to 493 km on a full charge under the NEDC standard.

Developed in collaboration with Italian design house Pininfarina, the VF 8 combines a modern exterior design with a spacious cabin focused on digital integration and passenger comfort. Available features include a 15.6-inch infotainment display, ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof, an air ionization-equipped climate control system, and multiple ADAS technologies, including Highway Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Detection, and 360-degree Surround View Monitoring.

VinFast is also emphasizing after-sales support and ownership assurance as key differentiators in the region. The company offers a 10-year vehicle warranty or 200,000 km, alongside a 10-year unlimited-kilometer battery warranty. Customers additionally receive access to mobile services, roadside assistance, DC fast charging networks, and over-the-air software updates.

As Gulf markets continue embracing electrification and smart mobility concepts, VinFast is seeking to establish itself as a long-term player in the region’s evolving automotive sector. By combining advanced technology, connected vehicle capabilities, and scalable EV solutions, the company is reinforcing its ambition to compete in one of the world’s fastest-changing mobility markets.

The Road Home: How WPS Office’s AI Evolution is Giving Southeast Asian Professionals Their Holidays Back

By
Advertorial Desk
-

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sometime in the last week of May, a sales manager in Kuala Lumpur will close her laptop, pick up her phone, and try to finish a proposal she started that morning — before the family gathering begins. It is a small act, repeated across the region millions of times during this season. Hari Raya Haji, Vesak Day, Kaamatan: the holidays arrive in close succession, and for many professionals across Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, they arrive without the work having stopped.

The friction that follows is familiar. The document on the phone is a version behind the one on the laptop. The paragraph that needs translating still requires opening a separate tab, waiting, copying the result back. The reply to a supplier that should take fifteen minutes takes forty-five, because the tools do not move with you the way the work does. In ordinary weeks, these interruptions sink quietly into the background. In the days before a celebration, they are the difference between arriving on time and arriving apologetic.

Frictionless productivity with WPS Office

It is into this particular reality that WPS Office’s latest global update arrives. Released on April 30 at www.wps.com, the update — from a company whose software runs on 678 million devices worldwide each month — adds seamless cross-device continuity and a suite of AI writing tools: translation, proofreading, and prose refinement, all built into the document itself rather than waiting in a separate tab.

The cross-device feature is, in practice, the quieter of the two changes and possibly the more consequential. A document opened on a phone during a commute home reflects the same editing state when picked up on a laptop later that evening. No file transfer, no version mismatch, no twenty minutes lost reconciling two copies of the same proposal. The work that can be done in fragments — between family dinners, in the cab to a gathering, during the quiet hour before the celebration begins — can now actually be done that way, without penalty.

When the work speaks more than one language

The AI tools address the other half of the problem: the time that disappears not between tasks, but inside them. Across Southeast Asia, where English, Malay, Bahasa Indonesia, and Tagalog coexist in professional life, a single afternoon during the holiday season can demand writing in multiple languages and registers — a supplier email in one language, a seasonal greeting to a longstanding client in another, a formal handover note in a third. Each language switch used to mean opening another tool, waiting, copying, adjusting. WPS now handles translation, proofreading, and stylistic refinement inside the document, drawing on context to produce output that reads as though a colleague helped rather than a machine.

This update transforms the international suite into a comprehensive collaboration ecosystem. Beyond traditional editing, the workspace now integrates cloud-native documents, spreadsheets, and forms, alongside advanced productivity modules like multi-dimensional tables and AI-powered presentation design. For the global professional, this isn’t just an update—it’s an expansion of the digital canvas, offering a versatile toolkit that was previously unavailable in the international market.

Making room for the moments work usually takes

The tools that earn a lasting place in people’s lives are rarely the ones with the longest feature lists. They are the ones that compress the time between opening a document and closing it — hours that can go, if things go right, to the people and occasions that matter far more than the document ever will.

That is a harder thing to design for. It is also, increasingly, the reason anyone picks one platform over another.

 

INSEAD welcomes inaugural GEMBA Flex cohort, marking a new era of flexible executive learning

A truly global and diverse cohort with 59 senior leaders representing 37 nationalities, 51% women

FONTAINEBLEAU, France and SINGAPORE and SAN FRANCISCO, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — INSEAD, The Business School for the World, welcomed the first cohort of its Global Executive MBA Flex (GEMBA Flex) programme, marking a new era of flexible executive learning. It brings together 59 senior leaders from 37 nationalities in a new format that offers greater flexibility without compromising academic excellence.

Designed for international senior executives, the participants of this inaugural class reflect the programme’s global ambitions. Women make up 51% of the cohort, a notable milestone for executive education at senior level and a strong reflection of the school’s deep-rooted commitment to diversity in the classroom. Participants span multiple industries, functions and regions, creating a rich learning environment grounded in international perspectives and cross-cultural collaboration.

INSEAD first announced the launch of its GEMBA Flex programme in 2024, combining the flexibility of online learning with high-impact engagement of in-person sessions across INSEAD’s global campuses. The innovative model enables senior executives to balance professional and personal commitments while advancing their leadership journey.

Rooted in academic excellence and led by INSEAD’s renowned faculty, the curriculum empowers participants to expand their leadership skills and global network to drive meaningful impact in their organisations and beyond.  

A milestone for INSEAD

The launch of GEMBA Flex represents more than a new format- it marks another step in INSEAD’s continued innovation in management education.

“Welcoming our inaugural GEMBA Flex cohort is a moment of great excitement for INSEAD,” said Mark Stabile, Dean of Degree Programmes and Dean of the Europe Campus at INSEAD. “The remarkable diversity of this first class demonstrates a growing demand among today’s leaders for a learning pathway that is as agile and ambitious as their own careers.”

Leaders from the first cohort

Participants of the inaugural class describe joining GEMBA Flex as both a professional milestone and a personal investment in long-term leadership growth.

“Being able to remain fully active as a CEO while engaging in a world-class executive programme made the decision [to enroll in GEMBA Flex] natural. INSEAD’s diversity, global footprint, and emphasis on leadership transformation were decisive factors.”

  • Trish Kalombola Atia, Chief Executive Officer, Towerco of Africa DRC SA

“The GEMBA Flex format was particularly attractive because it combines the depth of in-person learning with the flexibility required for global professional commitments. I expect the online component to allow continuous engagement with the material and with my cohort, while still benefiting from the immersive experience of in-person sessions. This balance makes it possible to pursue [GEMBA Flex] while remaining fully active in leadership roles.”

  • Deniz Saidov, Head of Legal, Fotowatio Renewable Ventures S.L. (FRV)

“I believe the GEMBA Flex format will allow me to stay fully devoted to my professional responsibilities while continuing to grow academically. Given my frequent business travel and the unpredictability of my schedule, having this level of flexibility is essential for my learning journey. INSEAD’s ability to offer such a dynamic and adaptable structure to GEMBA students is truly exceptional, and I am excited about the opportunity to learn in a world‑class academic environment.“

  • Tetsuaki Takahashi, Marketing Director, Abbott Medical Japan

“After ten years in luxury retail, I view the GEMBA Flex as the catalyst for my next professional chapter. I am looking to the programme, and specifically the collective wisdom of the INSEAD community, to help me refine my leadership philosophy. The hybrid model offers the best of both worlds. It allows me to give 100% of my focus during the immersive on-campus modules without disrupting my professional momentum, providing the flexibility to integrate new insights into my work in real time.” 

  • Sarah Defferriere, Senior Business Manager at The Estée Lauder Companies Inc.
