FAST and ACAMS Unveil Spanish Translation of Vital Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Certificate

Published

on

WASHINGTON, March 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As part of their efforts to strengthen global responses to forced labour and sex trafficking, Finance Against Slavery and Trafficking (FAST), an initiative hosted at the United Nations University Centre for Policy Research (UNU-CPR), and ACAMS have collaborated to launch the Spanish translation of a recently updated training certificate for anti-financial crime professionals in the public and private sectors. The newly revised Fighting Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking certificate outlines strategies to identify, investigate, and report financial activity linked to traffickers, incorporating insights from several new case studies.

The addition of a Spanish translation, following earlier releases in French and Japanese, aims to make the training more accessible to financial sector professionals in Europe and Latin America. This expansion supports broader efforts to combat modern slavery and human trafficking globally.

These crimes continue to devastate lives across the Spanish-speaking world. According to the 2023 Global Slavery Index by Walk Free, 3.6 million individuals in the Americas are currently in conditions of forced labour. In Venezuela, for instance, which has been undergoing a prolonged economic crisis for several years, approximately 9.5 people per thousand are currently experiencing modern slavery. More stable economies are not immune: the figure stands at 1.9 in Uruguay and 2 in Spain.

Fighting Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking draws on industry leaders’ insights to explore financial sector obligations concerning anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) compliance. It also covers due diligence principles and survivor engagement.

“Translating the ACAMS-FAST course will enhance the accessibility of this important resource and provide more practitioners with the guidance they need to tackle modern slavery and human trafficking,” argues Alice Eckstein, Project Director of the FAST Initiative. “We cannot address these risks without the involvement of the financial sector – and the new translations help strengthen the sector’s capacity to act.”

The course offers professionals in the financial sector a comprehensive understanding of the factors driving illicit money flows linked to modern slavery and human trafficking. This includes recognizing financial footprints through transactional analysis, identifying red flags, and understanding key indicators. The course also equips participants with the knowledge to manage modern slavery risks through practices such as customer due diligence, inclusive AML policies, financial inclusion measures, and engagement with various stakeholders. It further emphasizes the importance of collaboration between industry, law enforcement, civil society, and survivors in providing effective prevention, remedy, and other responses.

“Human trafficking, a grave violation of human rights, knows no boundaries, affecting individuals across the globe irrespective of age or gender. This insidious crime often operates in the shadows, intertwined with other illicit activities, rendering it a complex challenge that necessitates a concerted and informed global response. It is in this context that we introduce this free certificate program in Spanish, to help advance the global fight against human trafficking.

This certificate is meticulously designed to equip financial crime compliance professionals with the knowledge, skills, and tools required to identify and counteract human trafficking networks effectively,” ACAMS CEO, Neil Sternthal said.

Expanding Next-Generation Network Capabilities and Accelerating the Innovative Convergence of Communication, Computing, and AI Laying a Solid Foundation for 6G Development in Hong Kong

HONG KONG, Oct. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — China Mobile Hong Kong Company Limited (“China Mobile Hong Kong”) announced that it has taken the lead in realising a U6GHz network, successfully completing network testing and validation at its Mong Kok flagship store and advancing the exploration of Upper 6GHz band applications in mobile networks. Implementing China Mobile Group’s strategy of “strengthening the network foundation and full-stack innovation”, China Mobile Hong Kong aims to enhance network capabilities through new frequency band applications, drive collaborative innovation between terminals and the wider industry, and lay a robust foundation for Hong Kong’s future 6G development.

Strategic Early Deployment of New Spectrum to Build Momentum for a 6G Future
U6GHz, or the Upper 6GHz band, can provide continuous wide bandwidth and is a crucial spectrum resource supporting 5G-A and future 6G evolution. On 29 November 2024, Hong Kong completed its 6/7GHz spectrum auction, becoming the first region globally to auction this frequency band for public mobile services.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into production and daily life, the demand for data transmission from devices such as smart glasses and AI robots continues to rise. China Mobile Hong Kong will promote the synergistic development of U6GHz and intelligent computing services, enhance connectivity between terminals and intelligent computing platforms, and explore AI image analysis, immersive interactions, and industrial applications. This will allow smart services to better integrate into everyday life and corporate operations.

Aligning with Mainland China and Hong Kong Blueprints to Consolidate the Foundation of Digital-Intelligent Development
China Mobile Hong Kong will actively align with the Nation’s “15th Five-Year Plan” and Hong Kong’s first Five-Year Plan. Focusing on “AI+”, computing infrastructure, and new industrialisation, the company will enhance communication and smart services through network upgrades to assist Hong Kong in building an international innovation and technology centre. Concurrently, China Mobile Hong Kong will collaborate with industry partners to accelerate the research, development, and testing of U6GHz products. By expanding hotspot coverage according to demand, it aims to drive the maturity of the industrial ecosystem and accelerate Hong Kong’s 6G development.

JinkoSolar Unveils Tiger Neo 5.0 All-Black Residential Solar Module with 25.52% Efficiency

Published

on

By

SHANGRAO, China, Oct. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (“JinkoSolar” or the “Company”) (NYSE: JKS), today unveiled Tiger Neo 5.0, an all-black residential solar module built on its all-new TAC technology. The first version to reach the market, an all-black 48-cell module, delivers a maximum power output of 510 W with a module efficiency of 25.52%. It was designed to redefine the upper limits of what a scenario-specific module can deliver in both appearance and efficiency for premium homes and other architecturally refined residences.

The module showcases a deeper, more uniform and more refined black appearance than conventional back-contact (BC) modules. Semiconductor-grade low- and high-temperature processes bring the power temperature coefficient down to -0.24%/℃, meaning stronger energy yield in high-temperature environments.

TAC technology combines the excellent carrier transport of TOPCon with the low-temperature processing and positive electrode passivation of HJT, pushing peak cell efficiency to 28%, approaching the theoretical limit of monocrystalline silicon cells. Together with a zero-gap cell layout and hidden-ribbon technology at module level, the module achieves an efficiency of 25.52%. Compared with conventional BC products, it delivers approximately 30 W more power, and a lower temperature coefficient. Its deeper, more premium black appearance blends seamlessly into residential rooftops— especially dark-colored ones — making it a standout in the residential module category for both power and aesthetics.

“Our vision for Tiger Neo 5.0 was to develop a panel tailored to premium residential rooftops. It pushes the boundaries of both performance and aesthetics with innovations in cell technology, passivation processes, structural design, module format and interconnections. With this launch, we aim to help move the industry toward solutions tailored to specific applications,” said Charlie Cao, CEO of Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.
