SINGAPORE, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Global lifestyle brand MINISO officially opened Singapore’s first MINISO FRIENDS on April 25 at VivoCity, marking the debut of the brand’s top-level store format in the country. Through visual upgrades, enhanced in‑store experiences and a strengthened IP portfolio, MINISO FRIENDS brings Singapore’s consumers a vibrant destination that integrates retail, experience and social interaction, quickly emerging as a new must-visit IP destination for both local consumers and tourists.

Situated on Basement 1 of VivoCity—Singapore’s largest and most iconic shopping mall—MINISO FRIENDS benefits from strong transport connectivity and consistently high foot traffic, attracting a diverse mix of young consumers, families and international tourists, further reinforcing its positioning as a new lifestyle hotspot within Singapore’s key tourist district. Reflecting the brand-new store format, MINISO FRIENDS VivoCity introduces a roughly 450 square meter immersive retail environment designed to encourage exploration, interaction and shareable moments — from browsing and discovery to social hangouts with friends.  

As one of the most comprehensive immersive IP‑themed lifestyle flagships in Singapore, MINISO FRIENDS VivoCity offers over 3,200 curated SKUs across categories including collectibles, home, lifestyle, beauty and gifting. At the entrance, a large‑scale YOYO installation serves as a visual focal point, while the interior is laid out in 12 interactive IP‑themed zones. Through bold, high‑saturation design and scene‑based spatial planning, the store creates an immersive environment that fosters social interaction and engagement with younger consumer communities.

Building on this immersive retail environment, MINISO FRIENDS VivoCity presents a more wide-ranging IP product portfolio to Singapore through exciting new store‑first launches. The lineup includes widely recognized collaborations such as Monchhichi, Chiikawa and Sanrio, alongside Singapore‑exclusive Disney Mickey products featuring the Merlion design. Selected collections made their overseas debut at the store—including the Chiikawa Sakura series—alongside the launch of MINISO’s new Star Wars collaboration collection, available from the same day. MINISO’s proprietary IP, YOYO, is also introduced with the most comprehensive product lineup in Southeast Asia, including a first overseas release of Vinyl Plush Hanging Card. The collection quickly became one of the standout highlights among visitors, further reinforcing MINISO FRIENDS as a new IP playground in the city.

As part of the overall launch campaign, YOYO, MINISO’s original IP known for its gentle and comforting character rooted in the idea of companionship, made its first overseas exhibition “YOYO’s Singapore Travel Diary”, across VivoCity from April 18 to May 13, spanning the peak Labour Day holiday travel period.

Featuring 13 large-scale installations located across key indoor and outdoor areas of the mall, the exhibition incorporates local Singapore elements and a travel diary concept, extending the MINISO FRIENDS experience beyond the store into a broader, mall-wide journey.

Centered around a giant YOYO installation, the trip-themed experience includes oversized cameras, local landmark elements, creative photo frames and interactive mirror art spaces — creating a highly photogenic environment that continued to attract visitors throughout the holiday period and drive strong social sharing across platforms.

The successful launch of Singapore’s first MINISO FRIENDS underscores MINISO’s continued evolution from traditional lifestyle retail into a globally leading IP operation platform.

As a key Southeast Asia market, Singapore’s mix of interest-driven consumers and international visitors makes it an ideal location for MINISO’s immersive, IP-led retail concepts, as reflected in the launch of MINISO FRIENDS. The store is now emerging as a new lifestyle and social destination.

Looking ahead, MINISO will continue expanding the FRIENDS format alongside other innovative and immersive store concepts globally, building fun, social spaces that bring joy to everyday life.

CAIRO, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the Huawei Network Summit 2026 (HNS 2026) held recently in Cairo, Huawei and industry organizations officially released the Xinghe AI Full-Scope Security Campus Technical White Paper.

The white paper introduces for the first time four key pillars of campus security—connectivity, asset, spatial, and privacy security—to build a full-domain security architecture with multi-layered protection. This marks a new stage in AI campus security, evolving from single-point defense to all-domain awareness and proactive intelligent defense.

The white paper provides a systematic approach to building a full-scope security technology architecture and elaborates on the world’s first complete framework for campus network security.

“Security is the cornerstone of AI campuses,” said Ricky Zhu, Vice President of the Campus Network Domain, Huawei’s Data Communication Product Line. “By integrating digital and physical domains, Huawei pioneers multi-layered protection across connectivity, asset, spatial, and privacy security. This development shifts campuses from reactive defense to proactive awareness and intelligent safeguarding.”

Key highlights of the four major campus security dimensions include:

• Connectivity security: On the wireless side, Huawei’s exclusive Wi-Fi Shield technology eliminates the risk of packet eavesdropping at the physical layer. On the wired side, end-to-end MACsec combined with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) provides long-term security for data transmission even as quantum computing matures, protecting against data leakage.
• Asset security: The surging number of dumb terminals in governments, finance, and other sectors has heightened the risk of network attacks. To address this, Huawei’s solution leverages clustering identification to automatically recognize dumb terminals with 95% accuracy. By combining terminal behavior anomaly detection with local inference on switches, the solution can detect traffic anomalies in seconds and proactively block them, effectively preventing network intrusions and lateral movement. The resulting benefits include terminal visibility and controllability without unauthorized access and spoofing.
• Spatial security: Huawei’s Wi-Fi channel state information (CSI) sensing technology detects spatial security conditions through a single wireless access point (AP), preventing intrusions into sensitive areas. The technology analyzes only wireless signal disturbance patterns to safeguard spatial security while protecting personal privacy to the maximum extent.
• Privacy security: In executive rooms, meeting rooms, hotel guest rooms, and other sensitive environments, traditional methods for detecting hidden imaging devices are often inefficient and prone to high miss rates. Huawei tackles this by launching the iGuard spycam-detecting AP, which offers three key advantages—comprehensive detection, precise detection, and 24/7 operation—to safeguard trade secrets and personal privacy in such private places.

Looking ahead, Huawei will continue collaborating with customers and industry organizations to put the white paper’s core technical indicators into practice across industries. This effort will help to drive the high-quality development of secure and intelligent campuses.

NEW YORK, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Wahed, a global Islamic fintech platform backed by Saudi Aramco’s Wa’ed Ventures and Qatar Development Bank, today launched the first fully Shariah-compliant real estate fund accessible to non-accredited investors in the United States.

The fund is designed to give everyday investors access to a diversified portfolio of rental properties with a minimum investment of $100 through a structure that uses zero debt financing and is 100% equity-financed, meeting Islamic finance requirements while targeting 5-7% annual net returns. It is intended to set a new standard for Shariah-compliant real estate investing in the United States, where most professionally managed real estate vehicles rely on leverage and refinancing.

Until now, US investors seeking Shariah‑compliant exposure to real estate have faced limited options, particularly in the single‑family rental segment. Most private real estate funds permit the use of leverage and are restricted to accredited investors, while retail investors have faced high minimum thresholds, limited diversification and the practical burden of sourcing, selecting and managing properties directly.

The single-family rental market continues to attract attention from both institutional and retail investors. The national median existing-home price stood at $405,400 in December 2025, according to the National Association of Realtors, up approximately 60% nationwide since 2019. Zillow estimates America’s housing shortage reached 4.7 million units in 2025, while Goldman Sachs Research projects that 3-4 million additional homes beyond normal construction need to be built to address the shortage. Rental demand remains firm in many regions and housing supply has not kept pace with population growth in several markets. At the same time, higher borrowing costs and tighter financing conditions have increased demand in real estate structures that are less sensitive to financing conditions. Wahed believes a zero-debt approach is well suited to investors who want long-term exposure to real assets without taking on leverage.

Wahed began addressing this access gap last year with the launch of its deal‑by‑deal private real estate product, which allows investors to buy fractional shares in individual US properties. Investor demand has been strong, with properties consistently filling by waitlist users before being released more broadly on the platform.

“Faith-aligned investors in the US have been waiting for a real estate solution that does not force them to compromise,” said Mohsin Siddiqui, CEO of Wahed. “This fund gives them a clear route into single‑family rentals through a structure that avoids debt, provides diversification and liquidity and reflects the standards we apply across our platform. It builds on the demand we have already seen and moves us closer to our goal of making Shariah-compliant wealth management available at scale.”

The new fund is a natural extension of that momentum and is designed for investors who prefer a portfolio approach rather than choosing properties one by one. The fund is always available and provides automatic diversification as new properties are added, allowing investors to gain exposure without having to wait for individual deals to become available. Investors can start with $100, receive rental income based on their share of the portfolio and access quarterly liquidity windows. Wahed manages acquisition, due diligence, tenant relationships and ongoing compliance through a highly experienced investment and operations team.

“Our role is to build real estate solutions that meet a clear need in the market and reflect the principles we stand for,” said Ahmar Sheikh, Head of US at Wahed. “This fund brings together rental properties that are selected and managed with care, in a structure that is less exposed to changing financing conditions and interest rate cycles, and that allows investors to participate on an ongoing basis. It is a model that makes sense for investors regardless of religious affiliation.”

The US Real Estate Fund is open to non‑accredited investors nationwide, subject to regulatory requirements.
