HONG KONG, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — NetDragon Websoft Holdings Limited (“NetDragon” or the “Company”; Hong Kong Stock Code: 0777), a global leader in building internet communities, is pleased to announce its participation in the 8th Digital China Summit, recently held in Fuzhou, Fujian Province. As a participant for the eighth consecutive year, NetDragon showcased its latest advancements under its core strategies of “AI + Gaming” and “AI + Education.” By responding to the “Digital China” strategy, NetDragon continues to leverage AI to empower the gaming, cultural tourism, and education industries, contributing to the high-quality development of the digital economy.

At the summit, NetDragon demonstrated the integration of technology and culture through innovative digital cultural-tourism projects. Among the highlights was the “Fantasy Ride Wuyi•Nine-Bend Roaming” VR horse-riding simulator, which utilizes cutting-edge digital scanning, drone technology, 3D modeling, and Unreal Engine technology to recreate the iconic landscapes of Wuyi Mountain, including Nine-Bend Stream and Dawang Peak. This immersive VR experience allows visitors to explore the scenic beauty of the ancient Tea Route. This project is also part of the “Digital Shanhai: Reimagining Fujian Tourism through Games” initiative, co-launched with Xinhua News and Information Center and other partners, to promote Fujian’s tourism through gamification. Additionally, NetDragon introduced “Fubao,” an AI-powered digital character representing Fujian’s “Fu (Fortune)” culture. Fubao, along with the Company’s virtual CEO Tang Yu, made their debut as “AI tourism ambassadors,” engaging attendees in real-time Q&A about Fujian’s tourism attractions and unique culture. This demonstration underscores NetDragon’s expertise in AI-driven content generation and gamified interactive experiences, creating value through the synergy of gaming and cultural tourism.

In the education sector, NetDragon unveiled its vision for future learning with the intelligent education service institution EDA and the self-learning tool “Future Lab,” reinforcing its vision of a personalized, global learning ecosystem. EDA leverages advanced AI technologies to deliver customized learning experiences, spanning across the full spectrum of lifelong learning. “Future Lab,” as part of the EDA ecosystem, aims to provide immersive learning experiences for middle and high school students in subjects such as math, physics, and chemistry. NetDragon is also advancing the development of “interactive educational games” that prioritize learner-driven engagement and immersive learning, redefining traditional teaching methodologies, and enriching EDA with high-quality content.

In recent years, NetDragon has advanced its strategy of integrating education and industry by expanding its vocational education efforts internationally and nurturing eSports talent. During the summit, NetDragon co-hosted a ChinaThailand collegiate eSports friendship match with Fuzhou Software Technology Vocational College (FSTVC), providing a platform for cultural exchange while demonstrating NetDragon’s innovative approach to exporting vocational education services. Through its industry-education integration model and joint programs, FSTVC is exploring new revenue streams. Notably, NetDragon’s vocational education project in Thailand was included in the “Thousand Sails Going Global” initiative in 2024, led by China’s Ministry of Commerce together with five other ministries, marking a significant milestone in the Company’s global industry-education integration efforts.

In collaboration with Rokid, NetDragon also showcased its AI + AR innovations at the summit. By integrating “Fubao” into Rokid’s AR glasses, attendees were able to explore virtual experiences of Wuyi Mountain, digital art galleries, and polar molecular structures. Rokid, a key strategic investment project of NetDragon, specializes in developing AR hardware and software ecosystems. NetDragon is building an “AI + AR” content ecosystem, leveraging AR applications across gaming, education, and tourism to create immersive digital experiences.

As part of its ongoing commitment to the “Digital China” initiative, NetDragon continues to expand its “Digital Smart+” innovation approach, promoting the integration of digital technologies across the economic, cultural, social, and ecological development. Looking ahead, NetDragon is committed to working with global partners in education, cultural tourism, and digital creativity to drive further growth in the digital economy and contribute to the development of new digital economic advantages.

The global adtech leader sets new standards in sustainable advertising with deeper data, measurable reductions, and product innovation.

NEW YORK, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ogury, the leader in advertising solutions fueled by exclusive data and grounded in privacy, today announced a strategic partnership with 51toCarbonZero (51-0), the only net zero platform powering growth for marketing and advertising leaders. This marks a pivotal step in Ogury’s sustainability journey, as the company accelerates its path toward net zero.

Following Ogury’s signing of The Climate Pledge in 2021 – and the completion of three comprehensive Greenhouse Gas (GHG) assessments – the company has a clear understanding of its carbon footprint and is taking bold steps to minimize its environmental impact. With a mature emissions baseline and an established reduction roadmap, Ogury turned to 51-0 to leverage its advanced AI data automation capabilities and its tailored expertise in adtech sustainability – driving greater emissions visibility and faster progress toward the company’s net zero goal.

Nathalie Pannequin, Senior Culture Lead at Ogury, said: “Environmental responsibility is not an add-on for us—it’s embedded in how we operate, innovate, and grow. As we advance toward net zero, it’s critical we pair our strong foundations with targeted expertise that understands the unique emissions profile of digital advertising. 51-0 brings the deep industry knowledge and pioneering solutions we need to lead responsibly in this space. Through this partnership, we aim to set new benchmarks and share best practices for sustainability within adtech while tackling climate change head-on.”

51-0 will support Ogury’s fourth GHG assessment and help refine its global reduction roadmap, providing more granular emissions measurement and analysis across Scopes 1, 2, and 3. Together, the companies will embed sustainability even deeper into Ogury’s operations and evolve its product offering to improve environmental impact, especially for ad delivery, while promoting more responsible consumption to contribute to broader industry change.

By leveraging 51-0’s platform and climate advisory, Ogury will track progress more effectively and make data-driven decisions around operational efficiencies, which create opportunities for cost saving. The partnership underscores Ogury’s belief that environmental action is not just about ethics, but a strategic business opportunity that builds trust and long-term value with clients, suppliers, investors, and employees.

Richard Davis, CEO & Co-founder at 51toCarbonZero, said: “Ogury is a brilliant example of how climate leadership can evolve with integrity. Moving from measurement to impactful action, Ogury is now opening up opportunities to create additional revenue lines and generate operational efficiencies in a complex, fast-moving sector. We’re excited to support the team as they shape what responsible advertising looks like in a net zero future.”

This collaboration spans Ogury’s global operations across 19 countries and digital activities in 33 markets, ensuring a unified approach to sustainability. It also strengthens the environmental pillar of Ogury’s holistic ESG strategy, complementing its work to foster diversity and inclusion, responsible business practices, and long-term stakeholder impact.

Ogury and 51-0 demonstrate the power of treating climate action as both a business driver and a moral imperative—proving that with the right data, direction, and dedication decarbonizing adtech is achievable.
