This unique partnership will be officially unveiled at the prestigious Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, taking place from June 17-21, 2024.

“This exciting collaboration with Good News Network Studios, Whalar Group and ReachTV means that our content, which breaks new ground in inclusion, will connect with the widest audiences and offer brands a new accord with communities who seek to see themselves authentically depicted on screen.”

Among the projects in development, two standout initiatives will be highlighted at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity:

Dream Fever

“Dream Fever” is a powerful 90-minute documentary that chronicles the incredible journey of Emmanuel Kelly. Born limb-different and abandoned in a box on a battlefield, he is now opening for Coldplay on their upcoming world tour in Australia and New Zealand. Overcoming a challenging start in life with boundless resilience and unshakable hope, Emmanuel has forged his dreams into reality. This documentary promises to inspire viewers with its astonishing narrative and uplifting message.

Good News First

“Good News First”, created by Anthony Samadani, is a fresh, witty, and social-first news show that features content creators, celebrities, athletes, and experts sharing their favorite local good news stories from around the globe. This show aims to highlight positive, feel-good stories that often go unnoticed, providing a much-needed counterbalance to the often-negative news cycle.

Commenting on the collaboration:

From Stephanie Sharis, Co-CEO and President, Good News Network Studios: “Our partnership with Outlyer, ReachTV and Whalar is a true testament to the belief in collaboration over competition, where smart, caring, strategic and experienced partners come together to create content that not only entertains but always seeks to make a positive impact.”

From Emmanuel Kelly, CEO, Outlyer: “Outlyer believes in the power of storytelling. This exciting collaboration with Good News Network Studios, Whalar Group and ReachTV means that our content, which breaks new ground in inclusion, will connect with the widest audiences and offer brands a new accord with communities who still seek to see themselves authentically depicted on screen,” said Emmanuel Kelly.

From Lynnwood Bibbens, Founder and CEO, ReachTV: “We’ve always been about truth and positivity since we launched ReachTV,” said Lynnwood Bibbens, “and there is nothing more positive than what the people at Outlyer and Good News Network Studios are doing by finding the underlying and uplifting stories from around the world.”

From James Street, Co-CEO and Co-Founder, Whalar Group: “We believe creators are the future voices of creativity, and ‘Good News First’ aims to amplify those voices by shining a light on the goodness that often goes unnoticed. Together with Outlyer, Good News Network Studios, and ReachTV, we are excited to co-produce a show that will not only entertain but also inspire and uplift our audience.”

Meet Us At Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity

All partners will be present and available for meetings with advertisers, brands looking to collaborate and other social impact partners from June 16-20. Emmanuel Kelly will also be performing on June 19th and speaking on the panel for “Belonging”, hosted by Songtradr and WPP.  Cannes Lions presents a unique opportunity to learn more about these exciting projects and explore potential collaborations.

Envision Announces Strategic Collaboration with Brazil to Power Green Oil Strategy with Net-Zero Industrial Park

Published

By

BEIJING, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Envision, a global leader in green technology, today announced a strategic collaboration with Brazilian government during President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s official visit to China. In the meeting between President Lula and Envision’s Chairman Lei Zhang, the two leaders exchanged views on Brazil’s green energy transition, the development of Net-Zero Industrial Parks, and  joint efforts on key technologies including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), green hydrogen and ammonia.

Envision will develop Latin America’s first Net-Zero Industrial Park in Brazil. Anchored by the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), the park will establish a complete green fuel value chain while advancing the development of green hydrogen and green ammonia. By leveraging Envision’s renewable energy systems, the park aims to establish a “green oil” ecosystem and accelerate Brazil’s green industrial  transition.

Lei Zhang, Chairman of Envision, said: “Brazil is crucial to the global green transition of human society. It is poised to become the world’s most significant green oil production hub, as it possesses both abundant biomass and renewable electricity needed for green oil production. Envision is driving the advancement of cost competitiveness of green oil through technological innovation. Leveraging our pioneering Net-Zero Industrial Park model, we have built the world’s largest and most cost-effective green hydrogen and ammonia project in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. We are committed to putting the vision of a community with a shared future for mankind into action, leveraging China’s new energy innovations to bring a new global prosperity.”

As the inventor of the Net-Zero Industrial Park model, Envision’s first-of-its-kind park, developed in partnership with the city of Ordos, has been recognized for several consecutive years as a leading example in the World Transitioning Industrial Clusters Report released by World Economic Forum. Building on this success, Envision is now scaling the model across diverse regions, including Inner Mongolia, Jiangsu, and Spain, tailoring each park to local resources and industrial strengths.

Employee competition leads to support of technical programs at nine local high schools

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DENSO, a leading mobility supplier, announced that DENSO Manufacturing Athens Tennessee, Inc. (DMAT), has donated $9,000 to local high schools, giving each $1,000 to support their Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs.

The recipient schools include:

Lenoir City High SchoolMeigs County High SchoolMcMinn Central High SchoolMcMinn County High SchoolPolk County High SchoolSequoyah High SchoolSweetwater High SchoolTellico Plains High SchoolWalker Valley High School

As one of the world’s largest automotive suppliers, DENSO strives to foster a work environment that prioritizes safety, collaboration and quality.

Last year, as part of DMAT’s continuous efforts to improve metrics in those focus areas, the location launched a friendly competition among internal teams. It centered on a simple idea: the better your group performed, the more your group could raise up to $1,000 for local high school STEM programs.

Motivated to deliver for each other and local students, each team hit their key metrics by the conclusion of the year-long competition this spring. As a result, DMAT awarded the full donation amounts to the recipient schools on behalf of its employees.

“This competition represents the best of DENSO – our teams working together to not only continuously improve, but also support the communities where we live and work,” said Steven Hayes, director of Manufacturing at DMAT. “We are grateful to channel the success of the project into a positive outcome for local schools and do our small part in contributing to technical education. These schools, and their STEM programs, are vital to preparing future innovators.” 

DENSO is always looking for ways to give back to the places it calls home, including in and around Athens. DMAT is a supporter of the United Way of McMinn and Meigs County, The East Tennessee Japanese School, Adopt-A-School programs, and other local initiatives.

DMAT has produced leading powertrain parts and systems in Athens for more than 20 years. In October 2024, DENSO announced a $100 million expansion at the location that would enhance its ability to produce a wider range of solutions, such as DENSO’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) product.
