Focusing on AI for Science: Nobel Laureates and Global Capital Explore the Frontiers of Scientific Innovation

SINGAPORE, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nobel Heroes Day – AI For Science Summit (AFSS), co-hosted by Laureates City Holdings Limited and Symbiosis Science, will take place from 5 to 11 October 2026, bringing together Nobel laureates, leading scientists, AI pioneers, government leaders, universities and long-term investors for a week of dialogue on the future of science, artificial intelligence and innovation.

Centered around the theme “Science • Intelligence • Capital,” this summit focuses on the transformative wave of “AI for Science.” It aims to build a global platform seamlessly connecting breakthrough research, frontier AI technologies, and patient capital to accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into real-world productivity.

The programme will feature a two-day flagship forum, an invitation-only Gala Dinner, closed-door leadership roundtables, and a week-long public exhibition of Nobel laureate portraits at Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay.

As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms scientific research — from drug discovery and advanced materials to life sciences and climate technologies — the organisers believe that the next generation of breakthroughs will increasingly emerge through collaboration across science, technology, policy and investments.

“Scientific discovery no longer happens in isolation,” the organisers said. “Today’s most important innovations require scientists, entrepreneurs, governments and long-term capital to work together from the earliest stages of research through to global implementation.”

Singapore has been selected as the host city for its internationally connected research ecosystem, neutral global position and strong innovation environment, making it a natural meeting point for international collaboration.

Confirmed Nobel Laureates

Confirmed Nobel laureates include:

  • Sir Christopher Pissarides, Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences (2010), internationally recognised for his work on labour markets, technological transformation and the future of work.
  • Professor Benjamin List, Nobel Prize in Chemistry (2021), pioneer of asymmetric organocatalysis and one of the world’s leading scientists in sustainable chemistry.
  • Professor Omar M. Yaghi, Nobel Prize in Chemistry (2025), founder of reticular chemistry and a leading advocate of AI for Science.
  • Sir Konstantin Novoselov, Nobel Prize in Physics (2010), co-discoverer of graphene and a pioneer in functional intelligent materials and AI-driven scientific discovery.
  • Fred Ramsdell, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (2025), pioneer in peripheral immune tolerance and discovery of the FOXP3 gene key to regulatory T cells.

Additional international speakers from academia, industry and government will be announced in the coming months.

Representatives from Singapore’s research community, international organisations, universities, sovereign wealth funds, family offices and global technology companies are also expected to participate.

Focusing on Five Core Global Topics Driven by AI

Discussions throughout the summit will focus on five strategic themes shaping the future of innovation:

  • AI for Science
  • Open Science and Global Research Collaboration
  • Sovereign AI and National Innovation
  • AI, Human Longevity and the Future of Civilization
  • Future Economic Growth Driven by Frontier Science

Together, these themes explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping scientific research, industrial transformation and global competitiveness.

Two-Day International Forum

The flagship forum will be held across Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Singapore Management University (SMU) and is expected to welcome approximately 500 invited participants from around the world.

The programme will include keynote addresses, Nobel laureate conversations, leadership panels, fireside discussions and invitation-only roundtables designed to encourage meaningful dialogue between scientific, industrial and investment communities.

Nobel Laureates Portrait Exhibition

Running from 5 to 11 October at Gardens by the Bay, the Nobel Laureates Portrait Exhibition will present the internationally acclaimed work of Peter Badge, official photographer of Nobel laureates.

The outdoor exhibition will combine large-scale portrait installations with digital storytelling and interactive experiences, introducing visitors to the people and discoveries behind some of the world’s most influential scientific achievements.

Designed as a public science and culture initiative, the exhibition aims to make scientific excellence more accessible while inspiring broader engagement with research and innovation.

Building a Global Platform for Science, AI and Long-Term Capital

Nobel Heroes Day Singapore 2026 is co-hosted by Laureates City Holdings Limited and Symbiosis Science, with academic support from the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings.

Building on previous editions in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, the Singapore edition marks the next step in expanding Nobel Heroes Day as an international platform connecting scientific excellence, technological innovation and long-term capital.

By bringing together leaders from research, industry, government and investment, the event seeks to strengthen international collaboration and accelerate the translation of frontier science into real-world impact.

Nobel Heroes Day Singapore 2026 will take place from 5–11 October 2026.

A New Category Is Emerging in the Premium Residential Market — the “Presidence”

By

-

Experts say a self-contained, service-led residential format built for multigenerational ownership is emerging at the very top of the market — and that demand for it is rising worldwide.


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 August 2026 – Experts in premium residential real estate note that a distinct new category is forming at the top of the market, and that demand for it is rising around the world. Property market specialists describe the emerging tier as the presidence: a self-contained community of private residences bound together by shared infrastructure and anchored by a five-star hotel under an international brand — a format designed to be lived in and passed down across generations, rather than simply owned.

The trend reflects a structural shift in global wealth. According to Knight Frank’s Wealth Report 2026, the number of individuals worth more than US$30 million climbed from 551,435 to 713,626 between 2021 and 2026 — a gain of more than 160,000, equivalent to 89 people crossing that threshold every day. Forbes, meanwhile, records 3,428 billionaires worth a combined US$20.1 trillion.

This wealth is also increasingly mobile. Henley & Partners projects that 165,000 high-net-worth individuals will relocate internationally in 2026 — a 16 per cent rise on the record 142,000 of 2025 — as affluent families build cross-border portfolios of homes and residence rights rather than tying themselves to a single jurisdiction. The appetite for professionally serviced, brand-anchored homes is visible in the development pipeline: Savills reports that the number of branded residential schemes worldwide grew 19 per cent in 2025, to around 910, and is on course to reach 1,747 by 2032, with the Middle East and North Africa the fastest-growing region over the past five years, at 187 per cent.

As the apex of the wealth pyramid rises, specialists say, demand at the very top is moving away from headline price-per-square-foot toward space, privacy, wellbeing, autonomy and a home that can be held and handed down across generations. The case for treating this as a distinct category was set out in a recent column by real estate adviser Ku Swee Yong, CEO of International Property Advisor Pte Ltd and an adjunct faculty member at Singapore Management University, where he teaches Real Estate Investments & Finance.”Luxury residence has a new crown, and it has a name: presidence,” he writes.

According to the expert, a property of this kind should meet several defining criteria: it should occupy an exceptional location among peer residences, be built to the highest standards of quality, provide space, a healthy natural environment, security and self-sufficiency, and create a place where owners and their families can live out every stage of life — building careers, raising children, enjoying leisure, prioritising health and wellbeing, welcoming family and friends, and ultimately passing the home down through generations. Privacy in this case does not mean isolation: rather than retreating behind their own gates, members of the presidence become part of a carefully formed community of peers, surrounded by people with comparable values, interests and ways of life.

These principles are, in practice, being formalised into a fuller set of criteria that distinguish a presidence from a conventional luxury development. At its most complete, the format is defined by:

  • A five-star hotel operated by an international brand present in at least three countries, located within the development;
  • A single estate of 200 hectares (around 500 acres) or more;
  • Full-spectrum infrastructure within one perimeter — indoor and outdoor sport, a central clubhouse, wellness, dining, parks and natural areas, a medical centre, recreation and security, plus a lifestyle anchor such as a golf, equestrian or yacht club;
  • A clear separation of public and private zones, with residences kept behind their own multi-layered security perimeter and isolated from guest-facing spaces such as the hotel, restaurants and spa;
  • A 24/7 premium service model featuring a dedicated resident care team, concierge services, standardised service-level agreements (SLAs), and a digital platform for managing every household and lifestyle need;
  • A unified architectural code governing the style and coherence of every building on the estate;
  • An equal-neighbour principle, under which a community of like-minded owners who can enjoy privacy while remaining part of an engaging social environment is formed.

Fully integrated examples remain rare worldwide, and demand, specialists say, is running ahead of supply as the number of ultra-wealthy households continues to grow.

-
  • The Group’s collaborative composition with Korean musician KIRARA, titled ‘Temper,’ transforms manufacturing technology into sensory art
  • Electronic track reflects the process of raw materials becoming finished vehicles through meticulous refinement
  • By blending glitch and breakbeat elements, the composition creates a precise and mysterious soundscape inspired by cutting-edge manufacturing technologies
  • Song available across major streaming platforms with an accompanying manufacturing technology video to follow later this year
  • Partnership demonstrates the Group’s commitment to communicating innovation through creative storytelling

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) has partnered with Korean electronic music artist KIRARA to debut ‘Temper,’ a musical composition that translates the Group’s technology development philosophy into an auditory experience. The track is available on the Group’s official YouTube channel (Link).


Hyundai Motor Group and KIRARA Release ‘Temper,’ a Musical Interpretation of Technological Refinement

‘Temper’ reimagines the journey of raw materials transforming into finished vehicles through advanced manufacturing processes, weaving complex beats and synthesized textures to capture the precision of innovation. The Korean title ‘Jeongryeon’ (정련, or Jīngliàn精鍊 in Mandarin) refers to the process of refining materials by removing impurities to reveal their purest and most valuable form. This collaboration expresses the Group’s technology development efforts through music, representing a new approach to connecting with customers on a sensory level.

“Working on Hyundai Motor Group’s new technology was a constant source of wonder, much like when I first learned synthesizing. I wanted to express the refined technology and the feeling I had when encountering it through equally refined music.” – KIRARA

How Does the Track Capture Manufacturing Innovation?

‘Temper’ opens with an ambient, mysterious introduction representing infinite possibility within raw materials. As the composition progresses, layered beats build gradually — mirroring the vehicle’s emerging form — before concluding with crystalline clarity reflecting the final form of a finished vehicle.

To authentically convey cutting-edge technology, the track blends ambient techno genre elements, specifically glitch and breakbeat components, creating a sophisticated yet mysterious soundscape that mirrors the technical complexity inherent in the Group’s technological advancements.

Who Is KIRARA?

KIRARA is one of Korea’s leading electronic musicians. Since launching her career in 2014, she has released five studio albums and performed extensively at prestigious events including Pentaport Rock Festival (Korea), Venice Biennale (Italy), SXSW (United States) and Primavera Pro (Spain).

Drawing deep inspiration from 1990s British dance music and 2000s Japanese electronic music, KIRARA’s music evokes a unique juxtaposition of sorrow and euphoria through a delicate blend of melodies. She currently performs live sets — composing directly through computer and MIDI controller — more than 30 times annually across domestic and international venues.

Her recognitions include:

  • 23rd Korean Music Awards (2026): Best Electronic Album for ‘KIRARA‘ (fifth studio album), marking her second Korean Music Award, nine years after first winning the category
  • Korean Music Awards (2017): Best Electronic Album for ‘Moves‘ (second studio album)

Where Can Listeners Access ‘Temper’?

The track is now available on:

  • Hyundai Motor Group’s official YouTube channel (Link)
  • Melon, Bugs, Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music

Later this year, the Group will release an accompanying manufacturing technology video featuring the ‘Temper’ composition.

Insta360 Unveils X6: The Biggest Leap in 360 Capture Yet

By
Advertorial Desk
-

SYDNEY, Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Insta360, the world’s best-selling 360 camera brand, today announced X6, its new flagship 8K 360 camera and the biggest leap in the history of the X series. This year marks Insta360’s 10-year milestone in 360 cameras. X6 is the decade-defining flagship that comes out of it, the culmination of ten years of innovation and craftsmanship. It goes on sale August 12.


Meet Insta360 X6 – Inspiration in every direction.

Insta360 currently holds 71% value share (US$) of the global panoramic camera (360 camera) market (according to IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Handheld Smart Camera Tracker Report, 26Q1). X6 is built to extend that lead by making one camera enough.

“X6 is the camera we always wanted to build. It captures everything around you, in any light, and hands you a finished edit before you even reach for your phone,” shares JK Liu, Founder of Insta360.

X6 is available in Australia from August 12 through the Insta360 Official Store, Amazon, and a broad network of leading national and specialist retailers, including JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, The Good Guys, Camera House and Costco, priced from AU$1,049.99.

Additional bundles are also available exclusively through the Insta360 Official Store, including the Essentials Bundle at AU$1,159.99. Customers who purchase and activate X6 before September 30, 2026, will receive one year of Insta360+ Premium cloud storage at 500GB, plus three months of Moments Pro (two clips per month) at no extra cost.

Image Quality: Superior Detail, Day and Night

X6 sees more light than any X camera before it. Custom dual Sony 1/1.1″ square sensors deliver full 1-inch equivalent 360 imaging, 33% more sensor area than X5 and around four times the light intake per frame.

Behind the sensors sits a triple AI chip: one 8-core 3.3GHz 4nm flagship processor paired with two dedicated imaging chips. Together they bring 500% more computing power than X5, a 106% faster clock speed, and 35% lower power draw. A new low-light mode adds two ambient light sensors to cut flicker and pull more out of night scenes, while AdaptiveTone 2.0 meters each lens on its own and captures two exposures per frame for wider dynamic range.

X6 is also the first 360 camera with native in-camera Dolby Vision. Paired with 10-bit color and more than 1.07 billion recordable colors, X6 delivers a professional color profile straight out of the camera.

The 3-in-1 Camera Ecosystem

X6 is a 360 camera, a subject-tracking gimbal camera, and a single-lens action cam, and it switches between all three in a tap.

Shoot first, frame later. Hit record and stay in the moment. X6 captures everything around you at native 8K50fps, so you come back later and pull the best angles from any direction.

Flat 4K straight from the camera. InstaFrame 2.0 locks onto subjects instantly and tracks people, pets, and objects across the frame, giving you clean flat 4K video with no editing step. Pair X6 with the new Foldable Selfie Stick Remote Kit and its joystick control turns that tracking into gimbal-style shooting. Add the POV Head Tracker and framing follows your eyeline instead, so the camera captures whatever you turn to look at.

A classic action cam when you want one. Switch to single-lens and shoot like a traditional action camera at up to 5K60fps, wide-angle up to 170 degrees (at 5K30fps), or 4K120fps for slow motion that earns the replay.

Insta360 X6 Flagship 8K 360 Camera
Insta360 X6 Flagship 8K 360 Camera

Flagship Hardware Built for Adventure

X6 features a 2.32-inch OLED display with up to 1200 nits of peak brightness, designed for improved visibility outdoors.

Its new 2600mAh Xtreme Battery delivers up to 140 minutes of 8K30fps 360 recording and supports fast charging to 80% in approximately 24 minutes. It is also designed to perform reliably in temperatures as low as -20°C.

X6 introduces Replaceable Lens 2.0, offering improved scratch resistance while making damaged lenses easier and more affordable to replace.

X6 is waterproof to 20 metres without a case, or up to 60 metres with the Invisible Dive Case Pro. It also includes built-in storage, allowing users to start recording even without a microSD card installed.

An upgraded four-microphone system improves wind reduction, while a new Hidden Engine Mic is designed specifically to capture cleaner motorcycle engine sound at speed.

X6 also supports more than 100 accessories across Insta360’s magnetic mounting ecosystem, with compatibility extending across existing X5, X4 Air and Ace Series mounts.

Zero-Edit: A Finished Video While You Charge

X6 edits for you, and Insta360 PanoMind is what makes it possible. Built in-house and trained on more than 10,000 hours of footage across 30-plus scenarios including travel, daily life, winter sports, motorcycling, diving, and cycling, PanoMind is the first 360-native AI model to understand a full spherical scene rather than a flat frame.

Plug X6 in to charge and AI Director, the auto-edit engine inside PanoMind, builds a highlight edit from the footage on the camera and delivers the finished clips to the Insta360 app. Analysis runs on the camera itself rather than in the cloud, and the feature can be switched off at any time.

When you want to shape a clip yourself, Auto Edit 2.0 turns one clip or many into a complete edit in a single tap: framing, camera movement, cuts, music, and transitions.

About Insta360

With a “Think bold” mindset, Insta360 empowers people to capture and share their lives in extraordinary ways. Recognized as a market leader and innovator, Insta360’s vast lineup includes the world’s best-selling 360 cameras in the X Series, the thumb-sized GO Series for everyday capture, as well as an extensive range of action cameras, gimbals, webcams, and professional photography solutions.

Farmmi Receives NASDAQ Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Requirements

LISHUI, China, Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Farmmi, Inc. (NASDAQ: FAMI) (“Farmmi” or the “Company”), today announced that on August 11, 2026, it received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying the Company that it is currently not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). It resulted from the fact that the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares was below $1.00 per share for a period of 30 consecutive business days. This press release is issued pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a deficiency notification. The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, which will continue to trade uninterrupted on Nasdaq under the ticker “FAMI”.

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until February 8, 2027 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the closing bid price per share of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the reverse split no later than ten business days prior to February 8, 2027 in order to regain compliance.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance by February 8, 2027, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, Nasdaq will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that its securities will be subject to delisting.

The Company is monitoring the trading price of its Class A ordinary shares and evaluating options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to timely regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirement.

Forward Faster Now APAC 2026 brings together business, United Nations and sustainability leaders to advance responsible business and regional collaboration

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka, Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — More than 200 business leaders, sustainability practitioners, policymakers and representatives from the United Nations gathered in Colombo on 11–12 August for Forward Faster Now APAC 2026: Driving Business Leadership for Sustainable and Inclusive Growth, the flagship regional event of the United Nations Global Compact in Asia-Pacific.

Hosted by Global Compact Network Sri Lanka and organized by the UN Global Compact APAC Hub in collaboration with 14 Global Compact Country Networks covering 16 countries across the region, the event convened business and sustainability leaders from across Asia-Pacific to exchange practical solutions, strengthen regional partnerships and accelerate private sector action on sustainable development.

As businesses navigate increasing climate risks, geopolitical uncertainty, technological disruption and shifting stakeholder expectations, the forum focused on how companies can build resilience, unlock long-term value and contribute to sustainable, inclusive economic growth through responsible business.

“Across Asia-Pacific, businesses are operating in an increasingly complex environment shaped by climate change, technological disruption, evolving stakeholder expectations and geopolitical uncertainty. Yet these challenges also present an opportunity for companies to lead,” said Sanda Ojiambo, CEO and Executive Director of the UN Global Compact. “Forward Faster Now demonstrates the power of bringing together business, the United Nations and partners to share practical solutions, strengthen collaboration and accelerate action where it matters most. By embedding sustainability into strategy and operations, companies can build more resilient businesses, unlock long-term value and help drive the inclusive and sustainable growth our world urgently needs.”

Across two days of high-level dialogues, interactive sessions and peer learning, participants explored practical approaches to advancing climate action, sustainable finance, water resilience, governance and accountability, gender equality, business and human rights, digital innovation, circular economy solutions and cross-sector partnerships.

A central theme throughout the event was the growing importance of collaboration in addressing complex sustainability challenges. Business leaders emphasized that stronger partnerships between companies, Governments, investors, civil society and the UN will be essential to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while strengthening business resilience and competitiveness across the region.

An in-person convening of the APAC Chief Sustainability Officers Peer Learning Group was also held on the sidelines of the event. The Group brings together 20 Chief Sustainability Officers from some of the region’s leading and most engaged companies to exchange insights and advance collective action on sustainability. The meeting focused on breaking silos between sustainability and other business functions, with the aim of embedding sustainability more deeply across core business operations. The Peer Learning Group will run for one year, with members continuing to convene throughout the year to explore key sustainability priorities and share practical solutions and experiences.

“We are proud to host Forward Faster Now APAC 2026 in Sri Lanka and welcome sustainability leaders from across the region,” said Rathika de Silva, Executive Director, Global Compact Network Sri Lanka. “Asia-Pacific is home to some of the world’s fastest-growing economies, and the decisions businesses make today will have a profound impact on the future of sustainable development. This gathering is about more than sharing ideas. It is about building partnerships, exchanging practical experience and equipping businesses with the tools and networks they need to translate ambition into measurable action.”

Throughout the event, participants shared practical examples of how companies are embedding sustainability into core business strategy, strengthening governance, building more resilient and responsible supply chains, scaling sustainable finance and harnessing innovation to create long-term value for both business and society.

“Business can no longer view sustainability as a separate agenda. It is fundamental to long-term competitiveness, resilience and growth,” said de Silva. “Events like Forward Faster Now create an invaluable opportunity to learn from peers, strengthen partnerships and identify practical approaches that help companies create value while contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals. The challenges we face are shared, and so are the opportunities. By working together across sectors and borders, businesses can move further and faster than any organization could alone.”

Forward Faster Now APAC 2026 reinforced the commitment of the UN Global Compact to supporting businesses across Asia-Pacific with practical tools, peer learning and partnerships that help translate sustainability ambition into measurable action.
