Published

on

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Global appliance company Electrolux Group is showcasing trailblazing innovations across its three innovation areas, Taste, Care and Wellbeing, at IFA 2024 in Berlin, one of the world’s leading trade shows for consumer electronics and home appliances. Under its premium brand AEG, it will be unveiling the biggest kitchen launch ever, including AI-assisted cooking for the first time. The new AEG Kitchen Range will be officially revealed at the AEG Media Conference at IFA on 5th September.

“What better place than Berlin – the birthplace of AEG, where it all started almost 140 years ago – to launch our biggest and best kitchen range yet,” says Anna Ohlsson-Leijon, CEO Business Area Europe APMEA & Group Executive VP, Electrolux Group. “The new AEG Kitchen Range is designed to meet the growing demand for premium experiences in today’s market. And it’s perfectly timed: consumers are increasingly looking for high-quality, personalized and sustainable solutions when cooking at home – and our new range delivers just that.”

AEG’s most significant full kitchen launch to date

The new AEG Kitchen Range includes solutions in every product category, including ovens, hobs, hoods, refrigeration and dishwashers. Designed for consumers who want to take their cooking skills further, the new range is packed with smart technology including AI TasteAssist, a new cutting-edge function that has been developed to help consumers make the most of their oven when trying new recipes.

Research reveals that 80% of consumers search online for recipes [1], and many are unsure how to use their oven effectively. AI TasteAssist bridges this gap. By simply sending the recipe to the oven, the feature analyzes it to understand a number of key facets including timing, temperature and protein type. AI TasteAssist then automatically selects the optimal cooking settings.

The new Kitchen Range also features CookSmart Touch Display – an intuitive interface that guides users through every step of the cooking process. For the first time, CookSmart Touch provides a seamless experience across ovens, hobs, and built-in coffee machines. A new Assisted Dishes function gives step-by-step guidance on how to cook a complete dish to perfection plus, it can also guide the user as to which accessories to use and the steps to be taken. CookSmart Touch on hobs, as with ovens, empowers the user with full and effortless control over the cooking experience. At the touch of a finger, consumers can easily access Assisted Cooking and effortlessly delegate boiling or assign pan-frying. Sous-vide, simmering and melting modes are also available.

A Kitchen Range with a striking design and energy-saving product features

AEG is known for its modern and sleek designs and the new Kitchen Range is no exception. It is the brand’s most strikingly understated design to date. Available in MattBlack and Glossy Black, the kitchen is instantly recognizable with signature metal handles, statement trims, and refined graphic identity yet timeless classics that fit seamlessly in consumers’ kitchens.  

AEG’s new Kitchen Range goes further than any of its previous ranges in saving resources without compromising on performance. In fact, it [2] can help reduce a carbon footprint by up to 30% [3]during the use phase through its highest energy labels [4] and by using energy-saving features, such as the AEG 9000 ProAssist with SteamPro, which can save up to 17% energy through PreHeat and Residual Heat functions [5].

“We spent a huge amount of time talking to our consumers about what their ideal cooking experience would be like, their idea of a perfect kitchen space and how it reflects on their sense of style and their skills in the kitchen,” says Thomas Gardner, Design Lead Product Line Taste at AEG. “We looked at kitchen trends and at the furniture industry, how technology has become embedded in our lives and the rise of the domestic chef, always looking for the next challenge to level up their cooking. We took everything we learned and turned it into the new AEG Kitchen Range.”

Leading innovation in Care and Wellbeing with smart, energy-saving and effortless solutions

Also on show at this year’s IFA will be the latest range of award-winning [6], smart laundry appliances from the Electrolux brand. The new range includes washers, washer dryers and tumble dryers with energy-saving features designed to make clothes last longer and reduce the use of resources.

Young Voices Across Oceans: Telling China’s Story Fiji Special Showcases GDI Achievements

Published

on

By

SHENZHEN, China, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This year marks the 5th anniversary of the Global Development Initiative (GDI). Shenzhen Media Group’s “Telling China’s Story” program presents a special Fiji season, taking the perspective of young Chinese people to the Pacific island nation of Fiji. It documents the implementation of numerous cooperative projects which are smaller in scale but well-designed, showcasing the heartwarming stories and broad prospects of China and Fiji working together to promote common development and share the fruits of cooperation, vividly illustrating the practical achievements of the GDI.

 

The program will air from April 20th to 22nd, 2026. The first episode features Chinese actor Zhao Xiaotong, food blogger Yang Beichuan, and Wu Dongwei, a doctoral student at China Agricultural University, who visit the China-Fiji Juncao Technology Demonstration Center in Nadi, Fiji, to explore how this “Happiness Juncao” from China has taken root and grown in the South Pacific island nation, benefiting people’s livelihoods.

This “Happiness Juncao” has yielded “win-win results” in Fiji, bringing tangible changes to local families. Internet technology engineer Ashmir not only gained a stable income by learning Juncao (a type of grass cultivation) to grow mushrooms, but also successfully paid off his car loan.

During this filming, a “Mushroom Team” of young Chinese people joined Ashmir in a Fijian market to promote mushroom dishes and introduce locals to various new ways to enjoy mushrooms. The humble mushroom became a bond of friendship across mountains and seas, conveying the warm sentiments of mutual understanding between the Chinese and Fijian people amidst the bustling market atmosphere.
