GoodWe, in partnership with Six Star Plus and The Victorian Homeless Fund (VHF), donate and install solar and battery storage for homes that provide safety, stability, and a genuine fresh start.

In December 2025, VHF celebrated the opening of a new home in the Latrobe Valley, designed to support a family of five who had experienced significant hardship due to family violence. The home was built by the teams at Sherridon Homes and Brilley Co, and now under the care of Women’s Property Initiatives.

Why Solar and Storage Matter

A safe home matters, but so does the ability to afford living in it. For GoodWe, this project demonstrates how clean energy can have practical, tangible benefits. Solar generation, paired with the right battery storage, helps reduce running costs, increases day-to-day comfort, and adds resilience during high-demand periods.

This is also where Six Star Plus shines. For projects like this, the goal is not simply compliance or a tidy install, but a solution that genuinely improves a family’s day-to-day life. They bring the experience, the care, and the attention to detail that ensure these systems do what they are supposed to do, quietly and consistently.

The Latrobe Valley system details

For the Latrobe Valley home, Six Star Plus delivered a robust system suited to a busy household, using quality components and a configuration designed for real-world demand. The system includes 10.56 kW of solar, delivered through 24 RISEN RSM108-9-440N panels, paired with a GoodWe GW9900-ET-20 9.9 kW inverter, plus a GM3000. In practical terms, that means strong daytime generation, an efficient conversion setup, and a great foundation for adding storage in a way that maximises self-consumption and value.

GoodWe ESA energy storage for future homes

Six Star Plus and GoodWe currently have five projects in the pipeline with VHF, with at least one home to be built in 2026 and the possibility of two more starting shortly thereafter.

Looking ahead, all new homes in the program will include GoodWe’s all-in-one ESA Series energy storage solutions. This means families will not only generate clean electricity, but also store it for use when it matters most, including evenings, peak periods, and higher-cost times. The company’s ESA Series has recently expanded with a new three-phase residential model.

Storage helps households get more value from their solar, reduces grid reliance, and supports comfort through better load management. It is also a strong step towards making these homes future-ready as energy pricing, electrification, and household needs continue to evolve.

A milestone installation with broader impact

VHF highlighted that this Latrobe Valley project marked an important milestone as their first regional build. When a regional build succeeds, it proves that collaboration can travel, and it reinforces that every Victorian family deserves the same chance at safety and stability, no matter their postcode.

VHF also acknowledged the generous funding support from Loy Yang B Power Station and Alinta Energy, as well as the Payton Foundation Ltd for providing the land on which the home was built. Mary Aldred, MP for Monash, officially opened the home and spoke about how collaboration can help reduce homelessness.

IFS Capital Launches Lendingpot Digital Loan Marketplace in Hong Kong

HONG KONG and SINGAPORE, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — IFS Capital Limited (“IFS Capital”), the SGX-listed private credit specialist, today announced the launch of its Lendingpot digital loan marketplace in Hong Kong, marking the company’s expansion into the Greater China region.

Lendingpot operates as a single-stop comparison and application platform connecting borrowers with licensed moneylenders. It has been active in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, where it has a track record of bringing convenience and transparency to private lending markets that remain largely offline.

Why Hong Kong

As one of Asia’s leading financial hubs, Hong Kong’s private lending market includes more than 2,000 licensed moneylenders[1], but the sector remains largely offline and fragmented. Most borrowers still rely on word-of-mouth or storefront visits. Lendingpot bridges this gap by providing a digital platform that leverages data to algorithmically connect borrowers with verified licensed lenders. The city’s regulatory framework – including the Money Lenders Ordinance – provides clear licensing and standards, which supports the platform-based model that Lendingpot operates.

A soft launch began on January 5, 2026, with a pilot group of licensed moneylenders. This phased rollout allowed the team to refine the borrower experience and lender integrations ahead of the full public launch. Early feedback from local lenders has confirmed interest in a trusted aggregator for this market.

How the Platform Works

Unlike bank-focused comparison sites, Lendingpot focuses on verified licensed moneylenders. Borrowers can compare loan options and receive cashback on every successful application. On the lender side, the platform provides API integrations and credit scoring tools to improve processing accuracy, reduce approval times, and boost conversions.

Lendingpot’s platform serves both individual borrowers and SMEs. For smaller businesses in particular, the ability to compare and apply to multiple lenders from one platform can reduce the time and friction involved in securing working capital.

“Hong Kong’s private lending sector serves an important function, but many borrowers still have limited visibility over their options,” said Randy Sim, Group CEO of IFS Capital. “Lendingpot gives them a single point of comparison across verified lenders and simplifies the application process. For individual borrowers and SMEs, timely access to financing matters and a transparent platform can make a practical difference.”

Benjamin Lam, Head of Lendingpot Asia, added “Hong Kong is a natural next step for Lendingpot as we expand our digital lending platform across Asia. Borrowers here are digitally savvy and value transparency. We’re focused on enabling borrowers to make smarter credit decisions and reducing the friction and complexity involved in applying to multiple lenders.”

About Lendingpot

Lendingpot is Southeast Asia’s leading digital marketplace for loans, transforming how businesses and consumers compare, apply for, and secure financing. Borrowers gain instant access to offers from over 70 licensed lenders through a single online application, ensuring transparency, competitive rates, and personalized support. Lendingpot serves both consumer and SME borrowers, providing cashback incentives and tailored financing solutions, while helping lenders make faster, data-driven decisions. The platform serves Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Hong Kong SAR, advancing its mission of making credit more transparent, efficient, and rewarding across Asia.

About IFS Capital Limited

IFS Capital Limited is a specialist financial institution providing private credit origination, insurance, and asset management services to SMEs, consumers, and investors across Asia. We operate through offices in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Hong Kong (SAR). Incorporated in Singapore in 1987 and listed on the Mainboard of the Singapore Exchange since 1993, IFS Capital is part of the PhillipCapital Group.

JBD Launches “Griffin,” an Automotive-Grade MicroLED Projection Platform, Opening a New Chapter in Human-Vehicle Interaction

By
Advertorial Desk
-

SHANGHAI, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JBD, a global leader in MicroLED microdisplay technology, today unveiled “Griffin,” an automotive-grade MicroLED projection platform. The launch extends JBD’s proven AR near-eye display expertise into the automotive domain, reflecting a strategic step toward enabling next-generation human–vehicle interaction experiences.

As vehicles become more intelligent and interactive experiences grow more seamless, communication between the vehicle and people is becoming a core pillar of smart mobility. Yet today’s exterior lighting remains largely confined to simple cues—flashes, brightness, and color changes—used mainly for illumination and basic signaling. While digital lighting has advanced in recent years, it has been difficult to achieve high brightness, high image quality, and a compact footprint simultaneously. This limits how effectively a vehicle can communicate nuanced status information and safety intent. JBD’s automotive-grade MicroLED projection system overcomes these constraints by turning the ground around the vehicle into a digital canvas, projecting rich, dynamic visuals and enabling a new mode of human–vehicle interaction.

The first automotive-grade projection display panel on the “Griffin” platform, “Griffin I,” fully demonstrates MicroLED’s advantages in miniaturization and high brightness. It integrates hundreds of thousands of pixels within a display area of just 0.25 inches, delivers luminous flux of up to 500 lumens, and meets automotive-grade reliability standards. With an exceptionally compact form factor, installation is largely unconstrained, enabling seamless integration into rearview mirrors, doors, and locations around the vehicle body. “Griffin I” projection display panel samples are expected to be available in mid-2026.

Key application scenarios for automotive-grade MicroLED projection focus on “personalized welcome,” “vehicle status indication,” and “road safety”:

  • Personalized welcome: Compared with traditional static welcome lights, MicroLED projection systems enable dynamic imagery for a more personalized welcome experience. Beyond displaying brand logos, they can be tailored to show custom patterns or video content and deliver personalized greetings—turning every start of a journey into a warm, ceremonial moment.
  • Vehicle status indication: Critical vehicle health information such as remaining battery level for EVs, tire-pressure alerts, or engine status can be conveyed instantly via ground projection outside the vehicle before entering.
  • Road safety: Projection lighting can also serve as an effective warning signal for pedestrians and other drivers. For example, during turns or when opening doors, it can proactively communicate vehicle intent to the surroundings, or convey friendly signals such as yielding to pedestrians—adding an extra layer of protection for public-road safety.

JBD CEO Li Qiming commented: “Automotive-grade MicroLED projection systems transform the vehicle into an intelligent, expressive platform. This new interaction paradigm makes communication between the vehicle and the outside world more intuitive, allowing light to become a warmer, more human-centered medium and helping to shape a new generation of human–vehicle interaction experiences.”

The launch of JBD’s “Griffin” automotive-grade MicroLED projection platform not only introduces a novel interaction paradigm for the automotive industry, but also delivers a more intuitive, intelligent experience for users. Leveraging its advantages in brightness, compactness, and reliability, the platform can be extended beyond automotive to support a wide spectrum of projection applications, spanning both commercial and consumer environments. Looking ahead, JBD looks forward to collaborating with industry partners to drive continuous innovation and advance the evolution of human–vehicle interaction—making every trip safer and more convenient.

SURABAYA, Indonesia, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Airport Dimensions, the global leader in airport experiences, is significantly strengthening its footprint across the Asia-Pacific region. Building on a period of rapid growth that includes recent high-profile developments in Hong Kong SAR, Jakarta, and Vietnam, the company today announced the official opening of the Blue Sky Premier Lounge in the International Terminal (T2) at Juanda International Airport, Surabaya.

This opening represents a major milestone in Airport Dimensions’ APAC strategy, following the successful launch of the Blue Sky Premier Lounge at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta. The Jakarta facility has become a benchmark for the partnership between Airport Dimensions and Blue Sky Group, pairing local relevance with world-class hospitality standards to serve Indonesia’s dynamic travel market.

The success of the partnership has been further amplified in Makassar, where the Blue Sky Premier Lounge has achieved more than 3,000 five-star Google reviews since opening last August, demonstrating strong product market fit and a clear understanding of evolving traveller expectations.

The debut of the Blue Sky Premier International Lounge in Surabaya marks the third collaboration between Airport Dimensions and Blue Sky Group. Spanning 462 square meters and accommodating up to 101 guests, the lounge is a sophisticated sanctuary that draws inspiration from Surabaya’s identity as the ‘City of Heroes’. The design narrative seamlessly blends Western influences, characterized by warm woods and muted heritage tones, with the elegant textures of Indonesian tradition, including framed batik that pays homage to the resilience of Kota Pahlawan.

The culinary offering further anchors a strong sense of place, balancing local with international appeal. Guests are invited into a theatre-infused dining experience through interactive live-cooking stations, from made-to-order eggs, pasta, and noodles to a signature steamboat experience that celebrates the communal spirit of Asian dining. Locally rooted flavours take centre stage with icons such as Rawon Surabaya, offering an authentic taste of East Java, alongside the comforting familiarity of the Blue Sky signature mantau, a soft steamed bun reflecting the city’s Chinese-Indonesian culinary heritage. These regional highlights sit comfortably beside recognisable global favourites, ensuring broad appeal for every palate. The experience is completed with premium locally sourced coffee and a professionally tended bar, delivering a refined hospitality journey from arrival through departure.

The lounge is thoughtfully zoned to support both productivity and relaxation. Social spaces such as The Hub form the heart of the experience, offering a wide mix of seating configurations designed to accommodate solo travelers, small groups, and families alike. These flexible seating zones flow naturally into the food and beverage area, encouraging guests to dine, connect, or simply unwind in a lively yet comfortable setting. Complemented by quieter areas such as The Study for focused work or private moments, the lounge delivers a balanced environment that feels both dynamic and spacious, catering seamlessly to business and leisure travelers.

Errol McGlothan, President of Airport Dimensions, EMEA & APAC, commented: “Aviation across Southeast Asia is growing rapidly, with secondary cities like Surabaya playing an increasingly important role in international connectivity. That growth brings a diverse mix of travelers – from early regional departures to long-haul connections, business passengers and families – placing new demands on airport experience. Through our work across Indonesia and the wider Asia-Pacific region, we have seen first-hand how expectations are evolving: people want space to reset, quality food, areas to work, and environments that support every type of journey. This lounge reflects that understanding, responding to how people travel today while delivering the consistent global standards international passengers expect.”

Sucin Rahayu, Director of PT Bumi Liputan Angkasa, Blue Sky Group, added: “At Blue Sky Group, our mission has always been to showcase the very best of Indonesian hospitality to the world. Opening this international lounge in Surabaya alongside Airport Dimensions is a proud moment for us, as it allows us to blend the grit and heritage of this region with world-class service standards. We have poured our local expertise into every detail – from the batik-inspired interiors to the traditional flavours on our menu – to ensure that every guest, whether local or international, leaves with a genuine connection to East Java and a memorable start to their journey.”

Accessing the lounge

The new Blue Sky Premier Lounge is open to all passengers regardless of airline or ticket class, offering a premium experience for every traveler. Access is available to Priority Pass members, the leading airport lounge and travel experiences program, as well as LoungeKey cardholders. Walk in passengers may also enter for a fee of IDR330,000 per person, with additional access available through prebooking via a reservation hotline or participating member partnership programs, subject to availability.

The successful debut in Surabaya serves as a powerful blueprint for Airport Dimensions’ future regional strategy, building on the award-winning launch of the Kyra Lounge at Hong Kong International Airport, named the best Priority Pass lounge in Asia Pacific, and the recent opening of a second Kyra location. This momentum is further mirrored in Vietnam, where the company recently celebrated the unveiling of the upgraded Rose Business Lounge at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City in partnership with SASCO. Growth in Vietnam is further evidenced with the recent announcement of a new lounge in development at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi, to be delivered in collaboration with Vietnam Airport Services Joint Stock Company, Vietnam’s leading airport commercial services provider.

As Airport Dimensions continues to scale its global portfolio of over 85 airport experiences, these strategic milestones across Indonesia, Hong Kong SAR, and Vietnam reinforce its position as a dominant force in the APAC market, with further ambitious regional developments expected to follow.

For over two decades, Airport Dimensions has pioneered passenger first experiences, evolving how travelers spend their time and how airports unlock value.

Grounded in insight and a breadth of expertise across lounges, sleep, play, and digital, the company has built a diverse portfolio that creates choice and enjoyment for passengers, amidst ever-evolving expectations.

Airport Dimensions’ deep understanding of airports and a commitment to true partnership help transform space, grow non-aeronautical revenue, and deliver a greater passenger experience.

With a presence in key airports across North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific, Airport Dimensions designs and delivers experiences shaped by passenger needs and airport ambitions.

Across its global network, Airport Dimensions partners with over 50 airports and multiple airline partners to deliver award-winning hospitality experiences to millions of travelers.

Defined by the T135K and S144N mutations, this strain exhibits enhanced immune escape, prompting WHO to select A/Darwin/1454/2025 as the new H3N2 reference virus. The H1N1 component has been updated to A/Missouri/11/2025. Meanwhile, B/Victoria lineage activity is rising sharply, with proportions increasing from 6% to over 20% in regions including Hong Kong SAR and the U.S., leading WHO to recommend B/Tokyo/EIS13-175/2025 and B/Pennsylvania/14/2025 strains.
