MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities coming in early August

TOKYO, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — transcosmos hereby announces that in early August, the company will release MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities, an original game title by Matsui Securities, on Fortnite (*1), in partnership with BORDER, the Fortnite production studio operated by EbuAction. Fortnite is one of the most popular gaming metaverses with more than 500 million users worldwide. With this planned release, Matsui Securities will become Japan’s first securities firm to publish an original game title which incorporates elements of investment on Fortnite metaverse (*2).

transcosmos has invited LEMORION and HAGANEIRO, creators on Fortnite, to this project. The team discussed the best possible way to reach young generations, educate and enhance their financial literacy, and spread the concept of securities trading across the target audience using Fortnite.

■Background
The New NISA (Nippon Individual Savings Account) program, a revised version of the Japanese government tax-free stock investment program for individuals, kicked off in January 2024. Since then, the number of first-time investors has been on the rise, and new account openings at Matsui Securities have also been increasing (*3). Looking at the number of internet trading accounts by age group, people in their 40s and 50s are growing most significantly(*4), while those in their 20s and 30s remain low (*5). Given this, Matsui Securities believes that the firm must create opportunities for young generations to become interested in investments.
To make it happen, Matsui Securities decided to create MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities, a game with elements of investments such as the concept of price fluctuations and the trading of items using Fortnite, a popular online game among the target audience. Matsui Securities aims to help lower the hurdle for young generations to start and become interested in investments through experiencing MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities.

■Role of transcosmos
transcosmos delivers new forms of marketing services designed for young generations to help clients make the most of three leading metaverse platforms attracting generation Z and alpha, namely Fortnite, Roblox and ZEPETO. Fortnite is a popular gaming metaverse across the world, with monthly active users surpassing 5 million in Japan alone. To help Matsui Securities achieve its goal, transcosmos has invited LEMORION and HAGANEIRO, creators who publish HYPER FREEZE TAG on Fortnite, to participate in this project. The team discussed the best possible way to reach young generations, educate and enhance their financial literacy, and spread the concept of securities trading across the target audience using Fortnite. Ultimately, the team created the metaverse game, MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities.

■About MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities
Using collected items as capital, players try to increase their in-game money strategically by trading some of their savings while checking price fluctuations. Among players who successfully escape from a dungeon within a time limit, the highest earner becomes the winner.

Danish educational publisher eliminates manual processing errors and delivers instant access to more than 20 digital learning products

LONDON, May 3, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Forlaget 94, a Danish educational publisher serving commercial colleges and vocational schools since 1994, has transformed its digital textbook distribution by implementing a fully automated WooCommerce-Webdoxx solution.

“Using the Webdoxx-WooCommerce integration we have achieved full automation of order processing, fewer errors, and happier customers,” Tom Gertsen, IT Manager at Forlaget 94

Previously, Forlaget 94 relied on manual processes to distribute digital textbooks to customers. As demand for online educational materials grew, the publisher required a faster, more reliable way to manage orders, provision access, and reduce the risk of administrative errors.

Through its integration of WooCommerce with Webdoxx, Forlaget 94 now runs more than 20 educational products through a 100% automated workflow. The solution automatically processes customer orders and provides instant access to purchased digital textbooks, improving the experience for both customers and internal teams.

“The result is full automation of order processing, fewer errors, and happier customers,” said Tom Gertsen, IT Manager at Forlaget 94 and architect behind the WooCommerce-Webdoxx integration. The automated system has enabled Forlaget 94 to eliminate manual errors, accelerate customer processing, and increase customer satisfaction through immediate access provisioning. The implementation demonstrates how educational publishers can modernize digital content delivery while maintaining secure, managed access to learning materials.

Webdoxx, a service created and managed by Drumlin Security Ltd, provides online DRM and managed document delivery services for publishers, educational organizations, institutions, and commercial content providers.

139th Canton Fair Phase 3 Advances Toward a Better Life with New and Strengthened Product Zones

Published

on

By

GUANGZHOU, China, May 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 139th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) has rolled out nine newly established product zones. Phase 3 features an expanded and upgraded Intelligent Healthcare zone and the inaugural presentation of a Functional & Technical Fabrics zone.

The upgraded Intelligent Healthcare zone brings together 50 companies presenting a full spectrum of intelligent medical solutions, spanning AI-powered diagnostics, surgical robotics, and next‑generation eldercare technologies. Exhibits highlight how medical devices are becoming smaller, more precise, and increasingly non‑invasive. Capsule endoscopy systems demonstrate how gastrointestinal screening can be completed without discomfort, while AI‑enabled traditional Chinese medicine analyzers compress the inspection and inquiry process into minutes. Wearable glucose monitors make chronic disease management easier and more convenient.

Robotic technologies play a prominent role as well. Endoscopic and orthopedic surgical robots showcase enhanced precision through integrated human‑machine coordination, while bionic prosthetic hands use non‑invasive myoelectric sensing to independently control each finger. Intelligent rehabilitation systems, including lower‑limb exoskeletons and hand‑training devices, provide consistent support for patients recovering mobility. Companion‑style eldercare robots, equipped with monitoring and telemedicine functions, signal the rise of integrated home‑based health services.

The debuting Functional & Technical Fabrics zone highlights how the traditional textile industry is moving toward higher-end and smarter products. Exhibitors present materials that combine multi‑layered performance with intelligent responsiveness. Textiles featuring temperature‑regulating fibers, phase‑change materials, and light‑ or heat‑sensitive color‑shifting effects illustrate how fabrics are evolving into adaptive platforms capable of responding to environmental conditions.

Sustainability emerges as a defining theme. Bio‑based fibers, degradable films, recycled polyester, and organic cotton reflect a shift from isolated eco‑products toward full‑chain green manufacturing. High‑performance outdoor and protective applications further shape the narrative. Materials engineered for waterproof breathability, UV resistance, flame retardancy, and long‑term durability address rising demand across sportswear, professional protection, and medical environments. Smart textiles with embedded health‑monitoring modules demonstrate how apparel is beginning to function as a continuous wellness interface.

Both technology‑driven healthcare and advanced textiles are converging around a shared pursuit of a better life. As these advancements continue to evolve, they reflect a manufacturing landscape increasingly shaped by innovation, resilience, and a commitment to improving everyday living.

CupidFeel Insights Show How Shared Interests Affect Initial Connection Outcomes

Published

on

By

New behavioral insights from CupidFeel offer a carefully considered look at how shared interests influence whether an initial connection on a dating platform is sustained or abandoned in those first critical exchanges.

GIBRALTAR, May 3, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The findings by CupidFeel are not dramatic, but they are telling. People who referenced a shared interest — whether a genre of music, a type of cuisine, a sport, a creative practice, or even a shared discomfort with small talk — within the first few exchanges of a new conversation were found to be measurably more likely to continue that conversation beyond the initial contact window. The effect was not uniform across all interest categories; certain types of shared interest appeared to carry more relational weight than others.

It was also observed by CupidFeel that the timing of when shared interests entered a conversation mattered. Connections where common ground was discovered organically — through the natural flow of exchange rather than prompted by a profile field or a direct question — showed stronger indicators of sustained interest. The discovery, in other words, carried more meaning when it felt like something found rather than something declared.

Among the most quietly striking findings in the CupidFeel data was the role of specificity. Broad shared categories — “we both like travel,” “we both enjoy cooking” — were associated with polite, often brief exchanges that rarely extended past pleasantries. But when specificity entered the picture — when one person mentioned a particular documentary that had stayed with them, or a city they had visited and could not stop thinking about — the conversational energy shifted. Something opened up.

In a CupidFeel review of trends in profile engagements, those whose profiles reflected specific, idiosyncratic interests — rather than broadly appealing ones — also showed higher rates of receiving first messages, a finding that runs gently counter to the instinct many people have to present themselves in the most universally appealing terms possible.

What seemed to matter most was not the quantity of overlap but whether the overlap that existed was felt — whether it produced a sense of being seen in some particular, non-generic way. A CupidFeel review of early conversation patterns suggests that a single deeply resonant shared interest may be more generative for early connection than a long list of surface-level commonalities that, taken together, feel more like a demographic profile than a person.

About CupidFeel

CupidFeel is an online dating platform built around the belief that meaningful connections begin with emotional honesty and the willingness to let a conversation go somewhere real. It came into being for people who are less interested in the mechanics of dating and more drawn to the possibility of something that feels grounded — exchanges that move at their own pace, guided by genuine curiosity rather than performance.

A CupidFeel review of its own design principles returns consistently to the same question: what does it take for a first message to feel like it might be worth the journey? The platform makes room for the kind of interaction that doesn’t always have a clear destination but feels, from the first exchange, like something real. CupidFeel is a place where the unexpected is not something to be managed, but something to be welcomed.
