WASHINGTON, Oct. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Paladin Capital Group announced that one of Europe’s leading tech investors Nazo Moosa has joined as Managing Director for the firm’s European operations. Moosa joins Paladin’s United Kingdom office and, along with Managing Director Ken Pentimonti, will drive international investments and fundraising. She will also serve on Paladin’s Executive Committee. Moosa’s addition to the firm further positions Paladin as a leader in the European venture capital (VC) community and builds on a long-standing relationship between Moosa and Paladin, with Moosa serving as a senior advisor to the firm since 2017.

Moosa has been investing in enterprise software and deep technologies for more than two decades and has become a central player in Europe’s growth capital market. Earlier in her career, she helped found The Carlyle Group’s European Technology Fund, where she invested in growth and buyout strategies. Nazo went on to launch the investment activities of Europe’s first dedicated cybersecurity fund. She then continued to invest in cybersecurity and other foundational technologies to maintain a secure, resilient, and clean energy infrastructure as Managing Partner at EIP, a multi-stage fund with $3 billion in assets under management.

“We are honored to have Nazo join Paladin and are excited to benefit from her unparalleled investing and management experience to further strengthen our European presence and firm as a whole. With more than 20 years of experience investing in technology that drives innovation and strengthens the security and resiliency of democratic countries, she will be critical to expanding Paladin’s mission both in Europe and across the globe,” said Michael Steed, Founder and Managing Partner at Paladin Capital Group. “We are grateful for our years of partnership with Nazo and are excited to work together to continue growing the world’s most innovative and security-first companies.”

At Paladin, Moosa will play a vital role in charting out the firm’s direction. As Managing Director and member of the Executive Committee, she will help ensure that Europe takes advantage of its opportunity to combine international capital and its world leading research in AI, cybersecurity, robotics, and quantum to develop global technology leaders.

“I am thrilled to expand my relationship with Paladin. Europe has historically underinvested in its security, and with new technology creating an increasingly unstable world, we cannot afford to miss this golden opportunity to develop a more resilient economy, said Nazo Moosa, Managing Director at Paladin Capital Group. “When I joined Paladin as senior advisor in 2017, I witnessed first-hand their extraordinary capacity to bring together corporations, start-ups, and policymakers to drive innovation in the market and fortify the critical infrastructure of the U.S. and its western allies. I look forward to working with the team in Europe to expand Paladin’s footprint in the UK and across Europe.”

Paladin has had an active presence in the UK and Luxembourg since 2015. In building its European footprint, the firm has invested in 25 companies with operations in Europe – including Hack the Box, IriusRisk, Calypso AI, and most recently, Constructive Bio and Zerve – and is actively investing its $370m Cyber Fund II in cyber and security-focused AI startups across the continent.

HANOI, Vietnam, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At VEC in Vietnam on July 21, the Shandong Heavy Industry global partners conference & green intelligent products expo opened. Responding to the green transition of global commercial vehicles and heavy equipment, Weichai – with decades of expertise – unveiled five core tech routes: BEV, HEV, PEMFC, alternative-fuel ICE, and ADAS. Through full-chain proprietary control and breakthroughs, it provides efficient, low-carbon, intelligent power solutions to the global market.

Battery electric vehicle powertrain: full-chain deployment and high-efficiency recharging: Weichai masters core battery, motor, and e‑control technologies. Its CT100 battery – for heavy tractors and dump trucks – features integrated design and triple insulation, delivering better reliability, efficiency, safety, and speed. The WMS3200 drive system, tailored for heavy‑truck haulage, boosts efficiency and cuts vehicle power consumption. The WMC‑L/H/B integrated controllers offer stable, efficient control for light trucks, heavy trucks, and buses.

Hybrid electric vehicle powertrain: deep integration and ultra-long range: Weichai covers series, parallel, and series-parallel architectures, deeply integrating engine and e-drive. For urban logistics, the WP2.5T range extender offers quick response and low noise; for long-haul transport, the WP3NNG natural-gas range extender uses a “pure electric for short hauls, range-extended for long hauls” mode, with over 1,000 km combined range, easing range anxiety.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell: zero-carbon leadership: Weichai has built a full-chain hydrogen energy system covering components, stacks, and systems. The WEF300 fuel cell engine has been deployed in volume in 49-ton heavy-duty trucks, suitable for long-haul and port logistics. The WEFG500 power generation system provides megawatt-class scalable power to support data centers and industrial plants.

Alternative fuel internal combustion engine: diverse clean-energy options and exceptional cost-effectiveness: Modular design enables flexible switching between H₂ and methanol. WP15DI hydrogen ICE peaks at 46.8% thermal efficiency; WP17T methanol ICE targets heavy‑equipment energy use, cuts operating costs, and is mass‑deployed in 130‑ton mining trucks.

Intelligent driving assistance system: vehicle-road-cloud collaboration: Weichai built a vehicle‑road‑cloud full‑stack architecture, with mining autonomous solution for cm‑level docking & obstacle avoidance, and trunk‑line ADAS with intelligent cruise & auto lane‑change, boosting high‑speed safety and economy.

Going forward, Weichai will keep iterating these five tech routes with global partners to advance sustainable manufacturing.
