SINGAPORE, March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Homegrown artisanal brownie brand Crunchie Meltz is stepping up to support women in leadership as an official partner of the Her Courage Leaders Summit 2025 by Class Living, happening on April 5, 2025. The summit, which celebrates resilience, leadership, and empowerment among women, aligns with Crunchie Meltz’s vision of creating a positive community impact beyond just sweet treats.

The event will bring together inspiring women leaders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers to share their stories, and Crunchie Meltz will be contributing in a special way—crafting exclusive brownies for the summit’s participants as a symbol of encouragement and perseverance. This partnership marks a significant moment for the artisanal brand, highlighting its commitment to not only baking but also creating meaningful connections within the community.

Beyond Brownies: Crunchie Meltz Expands Community Initiatives

This latest collaboration underscores Crunchie Meltz’s growing commitment to using baking as a force for good. Co-founders Simon Yio and Chef Evon Chan are not only passionate about their artisanal brownies but also about fostering meaningful experiences through baking. Their vision is to create more than just a business; they aim to craft memories, inspire change, and build connections through the simple joy of delicious, thoughtfully made treats.

Building on this momentum, Crunchie Meltz is also partnering with a local training company, ThinkBox Solutions and Class Living to develop an innovative Parent-Child Bakery Program. The initiative, set to launch later this year, will give families the opportunity to bond over shared experiences in the kitchen, learning the secrets behind the brand’s signature brownies. “We believe baking is more than just a craft — it’s a way to bring people together,” says Simon Yio, Co-Founder of Crunchie Meltz. “Whether it’s supporting women leaders at Her Courage Leaders Summit or creating meaningful parent-child experiences, we want to make an impact beyond our brownies.”

Customer Review: A Sweet Success

Crunchie Meltz’s focus on quality and flavour continues to win the hearts of dessert lovers. Here’s what one of our loyal customers, Amar Kumar, had to say about our signature brownie:

“This brownie with a cookie top is amazing! The brownie is rich, fudgy, and perfectly sweet, while the cookie on top is warm, chewy, and golden on the edges. The combination of the soft brownie and the slightly crisp cookie is just perfect. Each bite is a delicious mix of flavors and textures, with the chocolatey brownie and buttery cookie blending so well. It’s a sweet, satisfying treat that’s hard to resist—one of the best desserts you’ll ever try!”

Such enthusiastic responses from customers have fuelled Crunchie Meltz’s success and reinforced its mission to spread joy through every bite.

A Growing Brand with a Heart

Since its launch in September 2024, Crunchie Meltz has garnered over 60 positive reviews across Google and Facebook, with foodies and dessert enthusiasts praising the brand’s dedication to quality, taste, and presentation. The brand’s signature treats, including CookieCrunch, ChocoCrunch, CrunchieDark brownies and FlorenCrunch, a healthy snack baked with nuts and seeds, continue to delight customers, offering a delightful balance of textures and flavours.

Looking ahead, Crunchie Meltz has exciting plans for further expansion, including the launch of its “Bake for Hope” CSR program in early 2026. This initiative aims to use baking as a platform to support social causes and give back to the community. As the company grows, Crunchie Meltz remains committed to making a lasting, positive impact — one brownie at a time.

July 25, 2026

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NAVER, Brookfield and NVIDIA announced an expansion of Korea’s sovereign AI factory infrastructure. New investments will increase the initial NVIDIA DSX™ AI factory deployment from 55 megawatts to 200 megawatts.

Announced during Korea President Jae Myung Lee’s AI Summit visit to San Francisco, the planned 200-megawatt expansion will be built with the NVIDIA DSX platform at NAVER’s GAK Sejong hyperscale data center in Sejong, South Korea. The expanded infrastructure will provide Korea- and U.S.- based AI innovators with access to production-scale AI compute for building next-generation models, agents and AI-powered services.

Under the terms of the agreements, Brookfield will fund up to $9 billion as the exclusive capital partner, NVIDIA will invest $1 billion and NAVER will fund the remaining amount to finance the $10 billion project.

This builds on NAVER’s June announcement to extend its GAK Sejong data center with NVIDIA DSX, with a long-term path to gigawatt-scale sovereign AI infrastructure serving Korea’s enterprises, industries, government organizations and global AI cloud customers. Combining Brookfield’s capital with NVIDIA’s computing platform, the investment supports NAVER’s AI factory deployment.

“NVIDIA’s strategic investment and our infrastructure supply agreement with Brookfield have propelled NAVER’s vision for the AI Factory business into a robust execution phase,” said Haejin Lee, Founder and Chairman of NAVER. “Leveraging the solid partnerships with our global partners, we will drive technological innovation, foster a sovereign AI ecosystem, and spearhead efforts to strengthen South Korea’s AI competitiveness.”

AI Factory Expansion and Open Model Collaboration to Fuel AI Innovators

NAVER, as an NVIDIA Cloud Partner, provides deep expertise in operating hyperscale infrastructure powered by the full-stack NVIDIA AI platform. The 200-megawatt AI factory, featuring NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Blackwell platforms, will establish a dedicated resource pool for emerging AI companies, providing the compute, software and support needed to develop and deploy competitive AI models and applications at scale.

This expanded infrastructure also builds on NAVER and NVIDIA’s collaboration on open model development for agentic and physical AI. NAVER is advancing its HyperCLOVA X models to be based on NVIDIA Nemotron™ 3 Ultra open models with its proprietary data and training expertise. NAVER is also the first Korean company to join the NVIDIA Nemotron Coalition, contributing to open model development across pretraining, post-training and reinforcement learning.

NAVER plans to launch an AI agent platform in Korea in the second half of the year, powered by NVIDIA Agent Toolkit software including NVIDIA NemoClaw™ blueprints. NAVER is also developing a Seoul World Model using proprietary urban street-view and spatial modeling data, built on NVIDIA Cosmos™ world foundation models.

About NAVER

Founded in 1999, NAVER is Korea’s largest Internet company and one of the world’s top tech companies. Leading cutting-edge technologies, NAVER operates the No.1 search engine in Korea and holds various business portfolios encompassing commerce, fintech, cloud, AI and robotics.

Beijing Review: Walking Through Time: China and U.S. Youths Explore Dali’s Past and Future

Published

July 25, 2026

BEIJING, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On July 17, a China-U.S. youth delegation came to Dali of Yunnan Province. By examining how Dali’s rich history intersects with modern development, the delegates explored new pathways for rural development.

They visited Dali Old Town, tried their hand at making the Bai people’s Three-Course Tea and also explored the ancient town of Xizhou, where they learned how modern tourism and indigenous life coexist.

In Yunnanyi Village, they explored its history as a stop along the Tea Horse Road and learned about the role it played during the Second World War (WWII).

Tyler James Smith

“I think it’s a very underappreciated part of World War II history. Hearing these stories of different countries working together despite cultural differences is incredibly inspiring.

I also think there are many stories like these that haven’t been widely told, simply because World War II is such a complex period in history. That’s why I think it’s so meaningful to visit museums like this and experience these stories firsthand.”

At Xiangyun Economic and Technological Development Zone, they visited a local new energy company to see how green, low-carbon development is driving regional growth.

Valerie Marie

“I recently started studying energy transitions. I know China has been really big in the renewable energy sector. So actually getting to hear more about [China’s] 2060 [pledge], learning more about carbon neutrality [goals], as well as other zero-carbon goals, was cool.”

During their stay in Dali, they also strolled along the Erhai Lake Ecological Corridor.

Bai Yiwen

“I’d describe this journey as “to be continued,” because my own connection with Yunnan is far from over. For the U.S. delegates, this was only their first visit, so they’ve only had a glimpse of what Yunnan has to offer. I hope they will have more opportunities to come back to China, explore other cities in Yunnan, and discover even more of its people, culture and traditions.”

After Dali, the delegates will visit Beijing for more tours and exchanges. The event was co-hosted by China International Communications Group (CICG) Center for the Americas and the U.S.-based International Student Conferences.
