KATOWICE, Poland, May 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the 2026 European Economic Congress (EEC 2026), MICROIP Chairman Dr. James Yang participated in a high-level dialogue at the “Poland-Taiwan Economic Cooperation Forum.” Joined by Ambassador Liu Yong-jian and HCG Vice Chairman Michael Chiu, Dr. Yang advocated leveraging Taiwan’s semiconductor prowess to propel Poland into a strategic hub for European Edge AI.

Addressing the “Last Mile” of AI deployment, Dr. Yang noted that global adoption is hindered by fragmented end-user demands and the high cost of general-purpose chips. “MICROIP advocates a ‘Software-Driven Hardware’ approach,” Yang stated, emphasizing translating domain expertise into silicon reality. By utilizing mainstream chip platforms alongside MICROIP’s low-power Customized ASIC Design Services (CATS) and AIVO No-Code platform, engineers can transform specific industry knowledge into specialized applications with minimal barriers. This model has already demonstrated commercial success in autonomous UAV navigation—tracking objects without internet access—and in smart cities, where on-device processing protects privacy while saving critical bandwidth.

The forum highlighted the synergy between Poland’s “Soft Intelligence” and Taiwan’s “Hard Foundations”. Michael Chiu of HCG identified Poland as a core innovation partner for Taiwan’s security industry. Dr. Yang noted that combining Europe’s software talent with Taiwan’s hardware creates a “resilient supply chain,” establishing Poland as an “AI Hardware-Software Innovation Hub”. Furthermore, MICROIP collaborates with its sister company, Arculus System, to provide professional EDA services. This strategic partnership significantly reduces the ASIC R&D-to-mass-production cycle, allowing MICROIP to co-define global AIoT standards while providing European clients with the most cost-effective solutions to meet localized market needs.

“Talent is the ultimate currency of the AI industry; we invest where the talent is,” Yang concluded. Success will be measured by a deep symbiosis of technology and talent, moving beyond simple trade to a thriving industrial ecosystem. This strategic alignment positions MICROIP to bridge technical value with international capital markets, opening a new chapter for the global ASIC and AI software design service industry.

SOPRONKÖVESD, Hungary, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JDEnergy has supported the successful grid connection of MVM 11 MW/22 MWh utility-scale energy storage project in Hungary. The system passed all required performance tests on its first attempt. Csaba Lantos, Hungary’s Minister of Energy, attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony and commended the project as an important achievement in China–Hungary energy cooperation.

Hungary’s central European location and expanding renewable energy capacity are increasing the need for flexible energy storage. As wind and solar penetration continues to rise, energy storage is becoming increasingly important for improving renewable energy utilization and supporting grid flexibility. The project was required to meet strict standards for safety, stability, and system compatibility, in line with Hungarian grid requirements and the operational conditions of the European market.

JDEnergy applied rigorous delivery standards throughout the project, covering installation, commissioning, grid connection, and testing. The first eBlock-418A energy storage cabinet was installed on 16th January, and all 53 units were successfully energized on 1st April. On-site commissioning was completed in just two days. During grid-connection testing, the system recorded zero major failures, zero extended downtime, and full compliance across key parameters, passing all required tests on the first attempt and receiving on-site certification from TÜV Rheinland. It also successfully completed MAVIR’s aFRR (automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve) accreditation test on 23rd April.

Designed to support a local wind farm, the project is expected to improve wind power utilization and contribute to Hungary’s energy transition. It also marks an important step in JDEnergy’s international deployment of self-developed energy storage solutions, demonstrating its ability to deliver utility-scale energy storage projects in overseas markets under demanding technical and operational requirements.

Looking ahead, JDEnergy will continue to deliver reliable and intelligent energy storage solutions to support stable, low-carbon power systems across global markets.
