WESTFIELD CENTER, Ohio, May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 1848 Ventures, a venture studio focused on building B2B SaaS businesses that empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMBs), is proud to announce the launch of its inaugural internship cohort, beginning Summer 2025. The program is being brought to life in collaboration with Yale Entrepreneurial Society (YES), New York University, and additional top tier institutions.

A key catalyst for the program’s early success was 1848V’s partnership with YES. Their support and student network have played a pivotal role in shaping the inaugural class as well as fueling interest from student innovators seeking real-world experience at the intersection of data, AI, and venture creation.

“We’re excited to see 1848 Ventures engaging Yale students through a program that blends entrepreneurial thinking with real-world application,” said Amelie Liu, President of YES. “1848 Ventures is offering something truly unique, a hands-on experience that blends innovation, leadership, and community. It’s exactly the kind of opportunity that helps bridge the gap between academia and the real world of venture creation.”

Designed as a differentiated, cohort-based experience, the 10-week program offers students direct access to a dynamic AI-first venture studio, challenging them to contribute meaningfully through hands-on project work, leadership engagement, and curated professional development.

“This initiative demonstrates our strategic investment in developing the next generation of leaders,” said Kal Amin, Managing Partner of 1848 Ventures. “The piloting of this program represents a significant milestone for 1848V, allowing us to connect with and cultivate the talent of tomorrow while injecting fresh perspectives into our dynamic, AI-first venture studio.”

Interns will take on meaningful roles across Go-to-Market, Software Engineering, and Data Analytics—supporting the studio’s incubator as well as portfolio ventures such as TakeUp, an AI-powered revenue optimization platform for hospitality, and Vandra, a cutting-edge AI discount platform for eCommerce brands.

What sets this program apart is its deliberate focus on cultivating future leaders. Interns engage in weekly leadership spotlights with the Managing Partner, CFO, and Head of People, receive hands-on mentorship, and contribute to a studio-wide case study project, ensuring their experience goes beyond day-to-day tasks and fosters real growth.

“We are proud to offer this unique opportunity to students who are eager to explore the intersection of data, AI, and venture creation,” said Michele Setzer, Leader of People and Culture at 1848V. “Our goal is to provide a high-impact experience that challenges and supports them, through meaningful project work, direct access to studio leaders, and structured development that equips them to lead in the rapidly evolving world of technology and innovation.”

The Summer 2025 cohort will begin on June 2, 2025, and run through August 8, 2025. Interns will be compensated at a competitive rate and supported by a high-touch experience designed to empower and inspire.

NANNING, China, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a report from china-asean-media.com.

The 14-day “2026 Vietnam-China Cross-Border Tourism AI Empowerment Cooperation and Exchange Program” successfully concluded on April 19 in Nanning, Guangxi. Co-hosted by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (China) and the Departments of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Quang Ninh, Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang provinces (Vietnam), the event brought together nearly 30 tourism officials and industry representatives from the four Vietnamese localities.

With the theme “Vietnam-China AI + Cross-Border Tourism Exchange and Cooperation,” the program combined expert lectures, case studies on AI applications, and field visits. Participants gained insights into ASEAN-China tourism policies, AI-driven cross-border cooperation models, and smart tourism technologies. Hands-on training enabled them to use AI tools for decision-making, product development, and destination branding.

The delegation conducted field studies in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, and Hechi. They visited the China-ASEAN AI Innovation and Cooperation Center, the “Easy Visit Guangxi” platform, the No. Wang Cultural Industrial Park, and the BAO JUN base, experiencing Guangxi’s smart, industrial, landscape, and wellness tourism offerings.

A meaningful part of the program was retracing President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary footsteps in Guangxi, including visits to the former site of Yucai School in Nanning, the former residence of Ho Chi Minh in Liuzhou, and the “September 2” School site in Guilin. On April 17, all participants attended the launch ceremony of the 2026 Vietnam-China Border People’s Carnival in Nanning, witnessing the deep friendship and mutual support between the border communities of both nations.

At the closing ceremony on April 18, a cross-border tourism product design competition was held. The team from Quang Ninh won the Best Design Award, while teams from Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang received Excellence Awards. Mr. Lưu Bá Mạc, Vice Director of Lang Son’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, praised the program for fostering practical cooperation and opening new directions for the “comrades and brothers” friendship between local authorities.

The program not only provided Vietnamese tourism professionals with valuable knowledge in AI and smart tourism but also laid a solid foundation for future cooperation in building shared tourism information platforms, developing smart products, and enhancing data connectivity. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to advancing high-quality development of the cultural and tourism industry through AI, contributing to the strategic Vietnam-China community with a shared future.

By

LAHORE, Pakistan, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TCL Solar made a strong impact at this year’s Solar Pakistan exhibition (17th-19th April, at Expo Centre Lahore) by unveiling a range of advanced solar solutions designed to meet the growing demand for low-carbon energy in South Asia and the Middle East.

The new T5 Pro solar module represents a major leap in N-type TOPCon technology, delivering breakthroughs in both conversion efficiency and power output. It is designed to be the new flagship product in the industry, offering enhanced performance and long-term value.

Key Highlights of the T5 Pro:

A unique product design: The T5 Pro specificity remains in its design architecture, with an overlapping tri-cut cell construction. This innovative structure significantly boosts the module’s performance, ensuring superior output and higher energy yield.

Product Reliability: The T5 Pro’s low-current technology ensures precise temperature control, with hotspot temperatures up to 45°C lower than conventional modules. This reduces the risk of fire hazards and improves overall module longevity. The module has also passed rigorous reliability tests, making it ideal for diverse applications, including commercial rooftops and ground-mounted power stations.

Customer Value: By enhancing energy generation and reducing project lifecycle costs, the T5 Pro provides a high return on investment for both residential and commercial solar applications.

TCL Solar’s Lightweight Module: Optimized for C&I Rooftops

TCL Solar’s Lightweight Module addresses the specific challenges faced by commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftops, particularly in areas with limited load-bearing capacity.

Improved Power Output: Weighing only 5.4 kg/m², these modules generate 3-6% more power compared to traditional TOPCon modules, offering a highly efficient solution for weight-sensitive environments.

Superior Heat Dissipation: The ultra-thin glass design enhances heat dissipation, lowers operating temperatures and reduces overall weight and making the modules ideal for aging rooftops or structures with limited structural integrity.

Building on the momentum at Solar Pakistan 2026, TCL SOLAR and TAIMOOR TRADING CO. have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), marking a key step in advancing solar energy solutions. This partnership aims to expand clean power access and drive sustainable development across Pakistan and beyond, with a shared focus on innovation and a low-carbon future.

Focusing on innovation, efficiency, and reduced environmental impact, TCL Solar continues to lead the way in solar technology in Pakistan and across the region, providing solutions that meet today’s energy needs while enabling measurable emissions reductions across the energy value chain.

As Pakistan embraces renewable energy, TCL Solar’s cutting-edge technologies will help drive the growth of low-carbon energy in South Asia and the Middle East.
