Vinhomes Green Paradise And Marriott International Partner To Bring The Ritz-Carlton And Marriott To Can Gio


HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 May 2026 – Cangio Tourist City Corporation, the developer of Vinhomes Green Paradise, and Marriott International have signed a strategic partnership agreement to introduce two of the world’s leading hotel brands, The Ritz-Carlton and Marriott Hotel, to Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio (Ho Chi Minh City). With a combined scale of approximately 700 rooms and high-end resort villas, The Ritz-Carlton and Marriott Hotel will not only expand the project’s portfolio of prestigious hotel brands but also reinforce world-class luxury service standards, befitting the stature of a global “urban wonder“.

Leading global hotel brands under Marriott International will elevate luxury service standards at Vinhomes Green Paradise to a world-class level.
Leading global hotel brands under Marriott International will elevate luxury service standards at Vinhomes Green Paradise to a world-class level.

The Ritz-Carlton Can Gio is located at a prime riverside site in the heart of the Vinhomes Green Paradise coastal mega-urban area and is expected to open in Q4 2027.

The hotel will feature 9 floors and approximately 250 keys, with room sizes ranging from 50 to 500 sqm, including suites and pool villas. Facilities include six restaurants and bars, two swimming pools, a spa integrating hydrotherapy and thermal wellness, meditation spaces, a fitness center, beauty salon, and the Ritz Kids club. The event space will comprise three function rooms totaling approximately 540 sqm, catering to a wide range of meetings and events.

Can Gio Marriott Hotel, located adjacent to the opera house and near the golf course and sports complex within the coastal mega-urban area, is also scheduled to open in Q4 2027.

The hotel will rise 25 floors and offer approximately 450 rooms ranging from 40 to 160 sqm, including premium suites. Amenities include an M Club Lounge, a system of restaurants and bars, a swimming pool, Quan Spa, and a sports club. Additionally, the hotel will provide approximately 1,570 sqm of meeting and event space, including two ballrooms, catering to large-scale events.

Together, The Ritz-Carlton and Marriott Hotel will deliver approximately 700 rooms, featuring a diverse range of accommodations, from standard rooms and suites to villas, supported by a comprehensive ecosystem of premium amenities and world-class five-star infrastructure.

The development and operational collaboration will be managed by Vinpearl, a member of Vingroup. With extensive experience in luxury hospitality, Vinpearl will oversee and directly implement operations to ensure the effective performance of these international hotel brands, contributing to the positioning of luxury service standards commensurate with a global “urban wonder” such as Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio.

Mr. Gautam Bhandari, Chief Development Officer for Asia Pacific (excluding China) at Marriott International, stated:“Marriott International’s long-standing partnership with Vingroup has helped shape Vietnam’s hospitality market over the years. We currently operate 11 hotels with Vinpearl, a member of Vingroup, and have several projects under development. With Vingroup’s visionary approach, commitment to excellence, and strong core values, we are confident that this project will not only deliver high-quality accommodations but also elevate the destination and create sustainable value for the local economy.”

Ms. Ngo Thi Huong, Chief Executive Officer of Vinpearl Joint Stock Company, added:“Our collaboration with Marriott International to bring The Ritz-Carlton, Can Gio and Can Gio Marriott Hotel represents a strategic step toward introducing global luxury service standards to Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio. Beyond developing internationally branded hotels, we aim to build a fully integrated service ecosystem, enhancing customer experience, strengthening operational capabilities, and aligning service quality with global standards, so that residents and visitors can enjoy international-level experiences right here in Vietnam.”

Previously, Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio partnered with IHG Hotels & Resorts to develop four hotels with a total of 1,000 rooms. The presence of international brands such as IHG Hotels & Resorts and Marriott International not only expands accommodation capacity but also significantly enhances the project’s ability to attract global visitors. This forms a critical foundation for the coastal mega-urban area to elevate experiences and move closer to its goal of becoming a world-class residential, tourism, and resort destination.

Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio is a 2,870-hectare coastal mega-urban development located in the southeastern part of Ho Chi Minh City, featuring three sides facing the sea and adjacent to a 75,000-hectare biosphere reserve recognized by UNESCO. The project benefits from major infrastructure connectivity, including the Ben Thanh – Can Gio high-speed railway (reducing travel time to 13 minutes from central Ho Chi Minh City), the Can Gio Bridge, the Rung Sac – Ben Luc – Long Thanh interchange, and the Can Gio – Vung Tau coastal expressway.

A distinctive feature of the project is its integrated Green – Smart – Ecological & Regenerative model aligned with leading global ESG++ standards. Alongside its spectacular natural setting and green living environment, the development offers a synchronized amenity system and unique highlights, including the 122-hectare VinWonders theme park featuring the world’s tallest artificial snow mountain and nearly 200 attractions; the 800-hectare Paradise Lagoon; Landmark Harbour international port; the 5,000-seat Song Xanh Opera House; an international-standard golf course; and a portfolio of five-star accommodation. These elements form the foundation for Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio to emerge as a new “urban wonder”, with the capacity to welcome up to 40 million visitors annually in the future.

xTool WonderPress Surpasses $1 Million in About 4 Hours on Kickstarter: The Most Creative 3D Auto Heat Press Ever

4 hours. $1 million. Over 4,000 backers to date. The future of home crafting has arrived.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — xTool, a global leader in innovative creative tools and laser engravers, has announced the highly anticipated Kickstarter launch of WonderPress. Designed to break the boundaries of traditional heat pressing, WonderPress introduces a new category as the World’s First 3D Auto Heat Press with Switchable Creativity.

The First 3D Auto Heat Press with Switchable Creativity
The First 3D Auto Heat Press with Switchable Creativity

Reaching $1 million in funding in just about four hours, the campaign’s early momentum signals strong demand and positions WonderPress as one of the most talked-about crafting devices of the year.

Reimagining What a Heat Press Can Be

Heat pressing has long been associated with flat surfaces and simple tote bags. xTool WonderPress expands that definition entirely by seamlessly transitioning across five distinct workflows using three simple hardware modules: Auto Heat Press, 3D Sublimation, Vacuum Forming, Professional DTF Curing, and Versatile Craft Baking.

This versatility enables creators to do far more than traditional presses ever allowed. A craft fair vendor can press custom apparel one weekend and cast resin keychains the next—from the exact same device. Etsy shops can sublimate personalized phone cases, badges, keycaps, and unique gift items that mass production cannot replicate. Meanwhile, family and friends can gather to press custom designs onto thick hoodies, ceramic mugs, and shrink-plastic charms with no prior experience needed. From custom apparel to 3D vacuum forming and casting, the best creations no longer have to come from a factory.

xTool WonderPress also amplifies the tools creators already own. Pair it with a laser cutter to heat-bend acrylics into 3D art. Use a single 3D-printed master to vacuum-form mass-produced replicas or professional blister packaging in seconds. Combine it with a cutting machine to seal clear 3D shaker pockets or execute professional vinyl transfers. It doesn’t replace the workshop; it completes it.

Superior Heat Press. Easy 3D Creation. Safe Baking.

While WonderPress unlocks new realms of creative exploration, its core is built strictly for professional, highly efficient output. xTool engineered the device to deliver commercial-grade results on a desktop footprint:

Heat Press Module: Solves longstanding industry efficiency and quality issues with a doubled heating tube density for ultra-even heat, 1 kg and 1°C adjustment precision, and up to 100 kg of pressure for one-pass perfection. A 2X height clearance handles thick hoodies and bulky bags that other presses cannot accommodate.

3D Form Module: Makes the complex easy. Utilizing -90 kPa vacuum suction, it casts custom molds for chocolate, candles, and resin in seconds, while full-wrap sublimation effortlessly reaches curved surfaces.

Craft Oven Module: Handles DTF curing and craft baking simultaneously. A built-in, 3-layer air purification system (H11 + Carbon + H13 HEPA) neutralizes fumes at the source, ensuring maximum safety for indoor use.

Global Availability

The xTool WonderPress is available on Kickstarter from April 28 to June 24 at 17:00 PM PDT, featuring the following Super Early Bird pricing (prices will return to MSRP after the campaign ends): 

  • Heat Press Module: $279 (MSRP $399, 30% off)
  • Heat Press + 3D Form Module: $449 (MSRP $639, 30% off)
  • Heat Press + Craft Oven Module: $479 (MSRP $679, 29% off)
  • All-in-One Bundle (all three modules): $599 (MSRP $919, 35% off)

COSRX’s #1 Amazon Eye Patch Goes on Sale During Amazon’s Summer Beauty Event

NEW YORK, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Amazon’s Summer Beauty Event returns from April 27 to May 10, 2026, COSRX spotlights its The Peptide Collagen Hydrogel Eye Patch, recently ranked #1 in the Amazon U.S. Eye Mask category (April 11–20, 2026), as part of a limited-time event promotion.

The product, widely recognized across search and social platforms as one of the best eye patches on Amazon and a viral TikTok favorite, will be featured in a flash deal from May 5–6, offering 30% off, alongside broader skincare discounts of up to 40% during the event.

A Multi-Targeted Approach to Puffiness, Dark Circles, and Early Signs of Aging
As healthy aging continues to gain momentum, the under-eye area is increasingly seen as one of the first places where signs of fatigue and visible aging appear. Addressing concerns such as puffiness, fine lines, dryness, and loss of firmness has therefore become a key focus in daily skincare routines, with COSRX’s The Peptide Collagen Hydrogel Eye Patch designed to target these concerns in a single step.

The formula combines four types of Peptides, low molecular Collagen, Niacinamide, Caffeine, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin B12, and adenosine to help support smoother, brighter, and more refreshed-looking under-eyes in as little as 10 minutes.

Unlike typical eye patches that focus on a single benefit, this hydrogel patch delivers a multi-dimensional approach—helping to firm and smooth, reduce puffiness, deeply hydrate, and improve overall elasticity. Clinical testing shows up to a 25% reduction in puffiness and a 17% improvement in firmness around the eye area, and the formula has also completed a sensitive skin irritation test, making it suitable for all skin types.

Hydrogel Technology for Enhanced Adhesion and Delivery
A notable feature of the formula is its hydrogel texture, designed to adhere closely to the skin. This helps maintain consistent contact with the under-eye area, supporting effective delivery of active ingredients. Compared to traditional patches that may slip or require adjustment, the hydrogel format allows for more stable wear during daily activities.

Limited-Time Flash Deal During Amazon Summer Beauty Event
For those looking to restock a top-performing skincare essential or secure a last-minute Mother’s Day gift, the COSRX The Peptide Collagen Hydrogel Eye Patch will be featured as part of a limited-time promotion during Amazon’s Summer Beauty Event.

As part of the promotion:

  • Event period: April 27 – May 10, 2026
  • Flash deal (Eye Patch): May 5–6
  • Discount: 30% off

With its recent #1 ranking and growing visibility across TikTok and search platforms, the product is expected to be a key highlight during the event.

Minesto AB: Interim Management Statement 1 January – 31 March 2026

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CEO Dr Martin Edlund: “An intense first quarter has seen progress in market and technology development.”

Significant events January-March 2026

In January, Minesto was selected for in-depth investment advisory support by the European Investment Bank (EIB) under the PDA (Project Development Assistance) programme. The program offers extensive free of charge financial advisory support to a few carefully selected investment opportunities within the renewable energy sector in the EU. The Minesto investment case chosen for the programme is a 10MW Dragon Farm (tidal energy array) located at a new targeted site within EU waters. The EIB advisory support focus’s on increasing the financial attractiveness and overall quality of the investment offer, aiming to raise 25 M EUR in capital.

Minesto was awarded 24,000 EUR grant funding from the Swedish Energy Agency (SEA) through the Global Innovation Accelerator (GIA) programme, aiming to accelerate the company’s market development in Taiwan. As part of the programme, Minesto officially took part in the high-level Nordic-Taiwan Sustainable Energy Forum, held in Taipei in December. 

Minesto initiated collaboration with expert ocean energy site developer Haf-Afl for the Icelandic market. Minesto continues to follow through with a market entry strategy based on collaboration with strong local site development and project investment partners. With the signing of a new partnership agreement (MOU) with ocean energy site developer Haf-Afl, the Icelandic market is added to Minesto’s range of markets actively pursued.

Minesto’s Dragon testing in Vestmanna continued. Minesto’s microgrid scale powerplant Dragon 4 (100kW) is installed and produces electricity to the Faroese grid, generating valuable data for the upcoming microgrid installation partly funded by the Swedish Energy Agency. The Minesto tidal energy kite Dragon 12 (1.2 MW) was successfully recovered after 10 months in the water in Vestmannasund. After proving robustness and stability beyond commercial service intervals, the unique megawatt Dragon is on shore for inspection and maintenance.

After the end of the period

No significant events after the end of the period.

The Group in summary 1 January–31 March 2026

Operating loss for the period amounted to SEK –7,065 thousand (–10,697). The negative result is largely attributable to business development and administration related to technology development. During the period personnel costs of SEK 5,619 thousand (6,298) has been capitalised as development work.

At the end of the period, the intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 581,541 thousand (553,664), of which capitalised development costs SEK 563,118 thousand (536,192) and capitalised patent expenses SEK 18,423 thousand (17,471).

Grants of SEK 2 137 thousand (246) were accounted for during the period, of which SEK 2 137 thousand (246) has reduced the acquisition value of the capitalised development costs.

Year-End Report is available to download at Minesto’s website:

Minesto | Investor information

CEO comment:

An intense first quarter has seen progress in market and technology development.

Our market development strategy based on a broad approach to match strong local partners and a favourable policy context for renewables with favourable site resource conditions is in full swing. We are closing in on active partnerships with strong site developers and utility partners in up to twenty markets.

Our role in this large range of markets, with the exception of the Faroe Islands and Wales where active site development driven by Minesto is ongoing, is to support the local actors with Minesto specific operating parameters and feasibility study input. This puts us in a favourable position to capture step-in business opportunities and to build a solid longer term gigawatt pipeline.

We have concluded joint development and verification of both our financial model and site project development set-up together with EIB sponsored consultants with exceptionally good results and mutual learnings at hand. This is a key enabler for attracting both private site investors (customers) and to submit business plans for different public-funding actors within EU and beyond.

The current macro-economic turmoil has an accelerating effect on our market development activities. The need for local security of supply and yet another reminder of the volatility in fossil energy prices increase determination to push forward with new innovative solutions and new sources of energy such as ours. This situation adds to the general energy transition ambitions to fight climate change.  

On the product and technology side of the business we have ongoing solid energy production from Dragon 4 in Vestmanna as a part of the Microgrid project partly funded by the Swedish Energy Agency. We use this set-up to prepare for both battery charging and to accommodate the new upgraded 50% more powerful generator that has been delivered from the supplier.

Our larger megawatt unit, Dragon 12, has been safely deinstalled for inspection and service after a nine-month installation period over autumn and winter. The unit is fully functional and has endured the ocean conditions in a satisfactory way. We will bring new valuable knowledge on service needs and design upgrades for upcoming customer delivery of power plants.

The cost reduction measures taken during 2025 to adopt to a business development focused organization is in full effect influencing the cash-flow as intended. 

We work relentlessly to deliver the tidal and ocean current sector to the world, and we do it from a position of strength offering the lowest cost ocean energy with base-load characteristics to the largest exploitable market among known technologies.

PR 260504 Interim Management Statement 1 January 31 March 2026

 

From High-Frequency Trading to AI Quantitative Custody: BGEANX Exchange Drives the Upgrade of Trading Models


COLORADO, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 May 2026 – The trading patterns of the cryptocurrency market are entering a new phase. Manual decision-making is gradually giving way to algorithmic execution, while data and model-based intelligent trading has also begun to see practical application. In the midst of this transformation, BGEANX Exchange has launched an AI quantitative managed service, drawing market attention.

图片7.png

In traditional trading environments, investment behavior primarily relies on personal experience and real-time judgment. This approach can still function when market fluctuations are small, but in high-frequency volatility environments, manual operations often struggle to respond in a timely manner. The gap between trading pace and execution efficiency exposes the limitations of a single decision-making model.

Algorithmic trading uses programmed models to maintain consistency in trading behavior across different market conditions, thereby improving execution efficiency and reducing emotional interference. However, this approach typically requires capabilities in strategy design and system maintenance, resulting in a relatively high barrier to entry for ordinary users.

On this basis, AI algorithms analyze market data to complete signal recognition and strategy execution under established rules, forming an automated trading process. BGEANX Exchange applies this capability to AI quantitative custody, enabling users to obtain returns in a more simplified manner.

The operation of AI strategies relies on a stable execution environment. Trading signals must be placed and matched under consistent system conditions to maintain the continuity of strategy performance. The technical advantages of BGEANX exchange in high-frequency trading provide stable support for AI quantitative trading.

As AI and high-frequency trading capabilities gradually integrate, the methods of trading and investment are undergoing profound changes. BGEANX Exchange, through its AI quantitative custody function, is driving the evolution of trading models toward intelligence.

High-Frequency Trading Capability Becomes the Core Technical Moat of BGEANX Exchange


COLORADO, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 May 2026 – As the scale of the cryptocurrency market expands, platform competition is shifting from the pace of token listings and user growth to being driven by technical capabilities. Against this backdrop, BGEANX Exchange is participating in the new round of industry competition with high-frequency trading capabilities as its core focus.

图片6.png

In the early stages, the primary differentiation among cryptocurrency exchanges was reflected in product diversity and marketing strategies. This competitive approach yielded significant results in the initial market phase, but as the industry gradually matured, its marginal effectiveness began to diminish.

When institutional investors enter the cryptocurrency market, order processing efficiency, system stability, and operational capability under extreme market conditions become key indicators for evaluating trading platforms. For quantitative trading teams, the response speed and execution consistency of the trading system directly affect the results of strategy operations.

Seraphina, the spokesperson of BGEANX Exchange, stated that the platform has launched its fourth-generation high-frequency trading system. By optimizing matching logic and system scheduling solutions, it provides a stable execution environment for high-frequency trading.

The reason technical capability becomes a barrier to competition among platforms is that it is difficult to replicate quickly through short-term investment. In an environment of severe market volatility, differences in the performance of trading systems become more pronounced, making technical capability a key criterion for evaluating platforms.

From the perspective of industry development trends, the high-frequency trading capability of cryptocurrency exchanges is the most valued advantage for financial institutions. The liquidity depth of BGEANX Exchange has already attracted numerous quantitative trading teams to execute their strategies on the platform.

As the scale of quantitative trading expands, technical capability and liquidity depth have become key factors in platform trading volume. Leveraging its high-frequency trading capabilities, BGEANX Exchange has established a competitive advantage centered on technology.
