-

BEIJING, Feb. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NaaS Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: NAAS) (“NaaS” or the “Company”), the first U.S.-listed EV charging service company in China, today announced that it has received written notification (the “MVLS Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) dated February 17, 2026, notifying the Company that it is currently not in compliance with the minimum market value of listing securities (the “MVLS”) of US$35 million for continued listing of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MLVS Requirement”). Nasdaq calculates the MVLS based upon the most recent total shares outstanding multiplied by the closing bid price. The MVLS Notice indicated that the Company has 180 days, or until August 17, 2026 (the “Compliance Deadline”), to regain compliance with the MLVS Requirement by having its MVLS close at US$35 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. If at any time prior to August 17, 2026, the Company’s MVLS closes at US$35 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide a written confirmation of compliance and the matter regarding the Company’s MLVS will be closed. Receipt of the MVLS Notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and has no immediate effect on the listing or the trading of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares on the Nasdaq under the symbol “NAAS.” 

The MVLS Notice, however, contained a footnote referencing that the Company currently does not meet the other listing requirements under the Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) and 5550(b)(3), and is not in compliance with the listing standards which are: (i) an equity standard that the Company maintain stockholders’ equity of at least US$2.5 million; and (ii) a net income standard regarding the Company’s continuing operations of US$500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years.

The MVLS Notice will not have any immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, which continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NAAS”. The Company intends to monitor its market value of publicly held shares between now and August 17, 2026 and intends to cure the deficiency within the prescribed grace period. During this time, the Company expects that its Class A ordinary shares will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If the Company does not regain compliance by the Compliance Deadline, the Company will receive further written notification from Nasdaq that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may qualify for additional time or appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel.

Frost & Sullivan Identifies Top 10 Growth Opportunities in Cloud Communications and Collaboration Services for 2026

AI-driven transformation, security imperatives, and programmable communications reshape the global UCC landscape

LONDON, Feb. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan has released its latest analysis, Top 10 Growth Opportunities in Cloud Communications and Collaboration Services, highlighting the strategic shifts redefining the global unified communications and collaboration (UCC) market as artificial intelligence (AI) permeates every major industry trend

The study identifies ten high-impact growth opportunities that providers must prioritise to remain competitive amid accelerating digital transformation.

“AI is no longer a feature – it is the architectural foundation of next-generation cloud communications,” said Elka Popova, Vice President and Senior Fellow at Frost & Sullivan. “From agentic AI and programmable communications to network APIs and vertical-specific solutions, providers must evolve from voice-centric platforms to intelligent, secure, and deeply integrated ecosystems.”

Key Growth Opportunities for 2026

Frost & Sullivan’s research outlines ten critical areas of opportunity, including:

  • Agentic AI that automates workflows and delivers measurable business outcomes
  • Security, privacy, and compliance frameworks that address growing AI-era risks
  • Programmable communications and APIs as enablers of digital business agility
  • Verticalised solutions tailored to frontline and industry-specific needs
  • International expansion to offset saturation in mature markets
  • Comprehensive digital workplace suites integrating UCaaS, CCaaS, and employee engagement
  • Mobile-first communications strategies aligned with distributed workforces
  • Microsoft Teams calling enablement services expanding monetization opportunities
  • Personalisation and AI-powered user experiences driving productivity and engagement
  • Network APIs unlocking new revenue streams and differentiated value propositions

To find out more and download a complimentary excerpt of the growth opportunity analysis, click here.

The study emphasises that providers must move beyond connectivity to deliver modular, secure, and AI-enabled platforms that integrate seamlessly into enterprise workflows.

AI Adoption Accelerates, but Execution Gaps Remain

Frost & Sullivan’s 2025 IT/telecom decision-maker surveys indicate strong demand for AI-enabled communications solutions. A significant majority of organisations report plans to increase AI adoption; however, barriers remain, including employee resistance to digital tools, misalignment between AI strategies and business objectives, and skill shortages.

Security and compliance are also rising to the forefront. As enterprises scale AI across distributed environments, demand is increasing for managed security services, automated compliance tools, and AI governance frameworks.

“Providers that combine secure architectures, vertical expertise, and programmable platforms will be best positioned to capture long-term value,” Popova added. “The opportunity lies not just in feature innovation, but in delivering measurable ROI and tangible business outcomes.”

Strategic Imperative for Providers

Frost & Sullivan concludes that to maximise growth potential, providers must:

  • Invest in AI-enhanced analytics, automation, and domain-specific AI agents
  • Expand developer ecosystems and low-code/no-code integration capabilities
  • Bundle managed services with communications platforms
  • Develop regional infrastructure and partnerships to support global expansion
  • Offer flexible pricing models, including usage-based and API-driven monetization

As the market transitions toward intelligent, integrated digital workplace platforms, companies that align innovation with customer-specific KPIs and regulatory requirements will gain sustainable competitive advantage.

Frost & Sullivan, the Transformational Growth Company, enables clients to accelerate growth and achieve best-in-class positions in growth, innovation, and leadership.

LONDON, Feb. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MD Local Global Limited (“MDLG”), the UK-based wholly owned subsidiary of MDJM LTD (NASDAQ: UOKA) (the “Company”), today announced that on February 20, 2026, MDLG entered into a Deal Memo with H5 S.A.R.L. (“H5”), a Paris-based creative studio, establishing a long-term partnership for the artistic conception and curatorial development of the Company’s planned Fernie Castle Animation Art Gallery (the “Gallery”) in Scotland.

Previously, on November 20, 2025, the parties entered into a Development and Co-Production Deal Memo for an Animated Short Film. Together, the short film collaboration and the Gallery curatorial partnership reflect a broader strategic relationship between MDLG and H5, combining animation production with the long-term artistic development of the Gallery.

Under the new deal memo, H5 has been appointed as curator of the Gallery and will collaborate with MDLG on the overall curatorial vision, narrative structure, and artistic positioning of the Gallery. This includes the development of its conceptual framework, the design and curation of the permanent collection, and the creation of the inaugural exhibition.

The Gallery is conceived as a distinctive European platform dedicated to animation as an art form. The Gallery is expected to integrate heritage architecture with contemporary animation culture through exhibitions, screenings, educational initiatives, artist residencies, and interdisciplinary cultural programming.

The collaboration further contemplates broader cooperation in visual identity development and curation of future temporary exhibitions, subject to separate agreements between MDLG and H5.

MDLG will finance and oversee the physical production and implementation of the Gallery and its exhibitions, engaging third-party production teams in mutual consultation with H5. H5 will provide artistic leadership and curatorial direction within the scope of its appointed missions.

This strategic partnership establishes the foundation for the commercial extension of a uniquely positioned European animation art initiative and represents a significant step toward the broader economic objectives of the cultural development project.

About MD Local Global Ltd.

HeyGears Announces One-Piece Denture Solution – Redefining Digital Dentures with Dual-Material 3D Printing

By
Advertorial Desk
-

HeyGears’ One-Piece Denture Solution enables dual-material denture DLP 3D printing, seamlessly fusing denture base and teeth materials in a single printing process to deliver more natural aesthetics and a comfortable fit.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HeyGears announces breakthrough One-Piece Denture Solution at LMT LAB DAY Chicago.

HeyGears’ One-Piece Denture Solution breaks through the technological constraints and experiential barriers of traditional denture manufacturing by deeply integrating HeyGears’ new UltraCraft MMF (Multi-Material Fusion) DLP 3D printing technology with high-end quality standards. It enables fully customized dentures that deliver exceptional fit, comfort, and natural aesthetics for every patient. More than just a technical advancement, it establishes an entirely new product category, a distinct brand concept, and an innovative business model, reshaping how dentists and patients think about digital dentures.

Balanced Occlusion and Seating Accuracy

Built on HeyGears’ self-developed dual-material DLP 3D printing technology, the One-Piece Denture Solution eliminates adhesive bonding between the denture base and teeth through molecular-level fusion, significantly improving retention strength and structural reliability compared with split-print and bonded workflows. The high-precision process delivers superior surface quality and occlusal accuracy. In HeyGears testing across 15 cases, 100% were within 0.8 mm elevation and over 50% were within 0.5 mm, and elevation within 0.8 mm typically requires no adjustment. This helps avoid the extensive occlusal adjustment often seen in split-bonding cases (about 2–3 mm elevation), which can take 20–30 minutes. With digitally perfected occlusion, dentures can be seated accurately and comfortably with no adjustment needed.

True-to-Nature Aesthetics

One-Piece Denture preserves morphological integrity of tooth, maintaining fine anatomical detail and natural contours. This structural fidelity supports dentures with more lifelike appearance and consistent aesthetic quality across cases. As a result, high-quality visual outcomes can be achieved with minimal manual refinement.

Hygiene-First Design for Long-Term Oral Health

One-Piece Denture Solution produces dentures with a seamless surface structure that helps reduce plaque retention compared with bonded, multi-part designs. With fewer interface gaps and smoother transitions, dentures support better daily hygiene and lower the risk of oral inflammation. The result is easier maintenance and improved long-term oral health outcomes.

HeyGears’ One-Piece Denture Solution represents a new generation of digital denture, moving beyond assembly-based workflows toward fully integrated one-piece production and setting a higher standard for precision, aesthetics, and oral health performance in digital dentures, with added benefits in cost efficiency and new revenue opportunities.
