Published

on

BEIJING, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On April 16, 2026, JXQ AI Forum 2026, hosted by Beijing Electronic Digital & Intelligence (BEDI), concluded in Beijing. Under the theme “Empowering Today, Inspiring Tomorrow,” the forum explored practical pathways to drive industry development within the context of the opening stage of the 15th Five-Year Plan period and China’s national AI strategy. During the event, BEDI launched Spark•AI Cloud 2.0, released the “China Urban Artificial Intelligence Index Report”, introduced the “AI China Tour” initiative, and announced the establishment of the Collaborative Industry Alliance for AI Innovation Districts. Together, these initiatives outline new paradigms for industry-city integration in the upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan period.

The forum’s agenda featured 14 thematic sessions across four key areas: “AI Infrastructure“, “New Economy”, “Industrial Development”, and “Emerging Trends”, covering more than 100 topics, including computing infrastructure, trusted data, smart cities, industrial applications, talent ecosystems, and investment and financing. It brought together representatives from government, industry, academia, research, and application sectors, including academicians from the CAE and the SAEng, as well as experts and scholars from institutions such as the MIIT, the SASAC, the National Health Commission, Tsinghua University, and the CAS. Officials from the Beijing municipal government and Chaoyang District authorities, along with government representatives from multiple regions, also participated. International guests from Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Thailand, and the United Kingdom were in attendance. The three-day forum attracted over 2,200 attendees and over 7.2 million online views.

“China Urban Artificial Intelligence Index Report” Unveiled, Establishing a New Benchmark for Industry-City Development

As AI applications continue to expand across economic and social sectors, China’s urban AI development has shifted from a phase led by top-tier cities to a new cycle characterized by both tiered expansion and structural transformation. Given the significant differences among cities in terms of resource endowments, industrial foundations, and governance capabilities, there is an urgent need to establish a scientific evaluation system for targeted guidance.

Against this backdrop, “China Urban Artificial Intelligence Index Report” was officially released at the forum. The report was jointly developed by the Institute for Contemporary China Studies, Tsinghua University (ICCS), Shanghai Securities News, Outlook Think Tank, and the BEDI Research Institute, with contributions from expert teams including the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and the CICC Global Institute.

The report introduces an urban AI evaluation system covering four key dimensions: industrial development, technological innovation, public services, and governance environment. It also systematically identifies, for the first time, a three-tier structure of urban AI development in China, categorizing cities into three distinct tiers: Leading Cities, Dynamic Cities, and High-Potential Cities. Furthermore, the report draws on practical experience from benchmark cities, providing clear and actionable development approaches tailored to different city types. It is designed to support local governments in refining industrial development strategies, help enterprises seize market opportunities, and contribute to national efforts to improve regional coordination.

Spark•AI Cloud Upgraded to 2.0, Forming a New Foundation for China’s Urban Development

Based on the regional differences and collaboration needs highlighted in the report, BEDI emphasizes that the key to AI development lies not in isolated technological breakthroughs, but in building scalable infrastructure and enabling coordinated industrial ecosystems. Xie Dong, Chief Technology Officer of BEDI, commented: “The transition to large-scale AI adoption is defined by lower barriers to use. Enterprises will be able to deploy and apply AI at lower costs and in simpler ways, so that data can be continuously transformed into real productivity.”

In line with this vision, BEDI unveiled Spark•AI Cloud 2.0, its next-generation AI production system, marking the evolution from a computing platform to an integrated AI production environment. At its core, Spark•AI Cloud 2.0 is powered by Qianjin•AIOS and Xintian•AgentOS. It brings together computing, models, and application capabilities into a unified architecture, streamlining the entire process from data and compute to model development and application deployment, and delivering standardized capabilities tailored to real-world business scenarios. The platform is designed to address three common challenges in AI adoption: complex deployment, high costs, and limited scalability. By overcoming these barriers, it enables organizations to move beyond pilot projects and scale AI into real-world production.

At the application level, BEDI proposes a development path of “One Foundation, Two Breakthroughs”: on one hand, it supports industries such as manufacturing, cultural tourism, and consumer sectors in developing new growth models; on the other hand, it enhances governance and service capabilities in public services such as healthcare, government, and education. Through continued local engagement and scenario-driven implementation, BEDI is advancing the transition of AI application from isolated pilot projects into scalable solutions, accelerating the development of new quality productive forces.

“AI China Tour” Initiative Launched, Driving Nationwide Adoption of the Industry-City Integration Paradigms

To accelerate the nationwide implementation of the new industry-city integration paradigms, the “AI China Tour” initiative was officially launched at the forum. Jointly initiated by Shanghai Securities News and BEDI, the initiative will bring together a high-level group of experts from industry, academia, and research institutions. Guided by the principle of “engaging key decision-makers to shape the future of industry”, it leverages the research findings and data insights from “China Urban Artificial Intelligence Index Report”. Focusing on tailored empowerment approaches for different regions and industries, the team will engage with local governments through consultations on AI industrial planning, and implement a series of targeted measures to support the upgrading of AI industries across more cities.

 Collaborative Industry Alliance for AI Innovation Districts Established, Fostering New Highlands for AI Development

As part of Beijing’s broader efforts to build itself into a global AI innovation leader, the city has announced the first four AI Innovation Districts this year, including the Guangzhi Space in Chaoyang District. Positioned around the integration of optical computing and intelligent technologies, Guangzhi Space focuses on next-generation computing infrastructure and advanced AI applications. It aims to establish a comprehensive AI innovation service ecosystem, promote the integration of AI into real-world scenarios, and foster new business models and industry formats.

During the forum, Chaoyang District officially launched the global call for contributors to the planning guidelines for AI Innovation Districts, as well as the global solicitation of the district’s logo and digital mascot. The district also announced the establishment of the Collaborative Industry Alliance for AI Innovation Districts and initiated three major projects, including quantum-classical computing integration. Going forward, BEDI will play an active role in the alliance and be deeply involved in the development of AI Innovation Districts, providing end-to-end support from technological innovation to industrial deployment, and supporting Beijing in building a leading hub for AI industry development.

At the outset of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, the JXQ AI Forum will continue to serve as a high-level platform that brings together government, industry, academia, and research stakeholders. By promoting the precise and practical application of AI across diverse local contexts, the forum aims to enable every city to identify its own pathway for growth and unlock new momentum for high-quality development.

Reliance Digital Launches ‘Baaptaa’, a Father’s Day Campaign Celebrating the Many Expressions of Fatherhood

Published

on

By

MUMBAI, India, June 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Reliance Digital has launched ‘Baaptaa’, a Father’s Day campaign to celebrate the many expressions of fatherhood. Built around a simple cultural observation, while “Maa ki Mamta” has long been a part of India’s collective vocabulary, there has never been a word that captures the distinct ways fathers express love, the campaign introduces ‘Baaptaa’ as a tribute to the many shades of fatherhood.

Conceptualised as an original music-led campaign, Baaptaa celebrates fathers not as idealised figures, but as they are experienced in everyday life, protective, dependable, emotional, quirky, practical, occasionally embarrassing, and always present. Through a relatable narrative, the campaign acknowledges the countless ways fathers care for their families, often through actions rather than words.

Watch Video: https://youtu.be/9XyUsJB33Ds?si=PM67vhxrzth1JEkz 

At the heart of the campaign is an original music video told from a father’s perspective, capturing the different roles he plays across life’s moments and milestones. The film brings to life the humour, warmth and unspoken affection that characterise father-child relationships, while giving a name to a form of love that many recognise but few have articulated.

The campaign stems from a simple insight: while motherhood has often found expression through familiar phrases and popular references, the unique language of fatherhood has remained largely undefined. Baaptaa seeks to fill that gap by creating a term that reflects the everyday gestures, practical wisdom and quiet sacrifices that fathers make.

Father’s Day communication often leans into familiar emotional territory, but Reliance Digital’s campaign celebrates fathers in a way that feels more culturally authentic and relatable. The idea for ‘Baaptaa’ came from a simple observation — mother’s love has been immortalised in a number of heartfelt, emotional songs, there needed to be an anthem dedicated to dad’s love. And thus was born Baaptaa – a love language that is often awkward, practical, protective, humorous and deeply felt, even if rarely verbalised. It’s a celebration of fatherhood in all its wonderfully imperfect forms immortalized by a song that you won’t be able to stop humming.

REPT BATTERO Deepens Inter Milan Partnership, Brings Latest Innovations to Intersolar Europe 2026

Published

on

By

MUNICH, June 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As global audiences follow the world’s biggest football tournament this summer, another international stage is preparing to bring together innovators, businesses and industry leaders from across the energy sector.

From June 23 to 25, REPT BATTERO will participate in Intersolar Europe 2026 in Munich, Germany, showcasing its latest developments in energy storage, sustainability and global business expansion.

Adding to the excitement, an Inter Milan legend will make a special appearance at the REPT BATTERO booth, meeting customers, partners and visitors from around the world. The appearance follows the company’s recent partnership with Inter Milan, which named REPT BATTERO as the club’s Global Official Battery and Energy Storage Partner.

But beyond products, exhibitions and football, the story REPT BATTERO hopes to tell is about something larger: how a young Chinese battery company is evolving into a global energy brand.

Growth Comes First

For any company looking to expand globally, one question comes before all others: is the business ready?

For REPT BATTERO, the answer is increasingly being reflected in its performance.

According to its 2025 annual results, the company reported revenue of approximately €3.1 billion, up 36.7% year on year, while net profit reached approximately €87 million, marking the company’s first full year of profitability. Annual battery shipments totaled 82.7GWh, representing year-on-year growth of 89.2%.

Energy storage continued to be a key growth driver, generating approximately €1.7 billion in revenue in 2025, an increase of 86.8% compared with the previous year.

The momentum has continued into 2026. In the first quarter, REPT BATTERO ranked No.1 globally in both residential energy storage cell shipments and commercial & industrial energy storage cell shipments, while ranking among the world’s top five in energy storage cell shipments overall. The company has also maintained BloombergNEF Tier 1 Energy Storage Supplier status for eleven consecutive quarters.

These achievements are not simply the result of rapid growth. They reflect years of investment in product development, manufacturing capability, customer relationships and operational excellence.

For REPT BATTERO, globalization is not a sudden ambition. It is the natural next stage of a business that has steadily built the foundations required to compete internationally.

Globalization Beyond Exporting Products

For many companies, globalization begins with exports.

But long-term success requires much more than shipping products overseas.

Customers increasingly evaluate suppliers not only on technology and price, but also on local service capabilities, supply chain resilience, regulatory readiness and long-term reliability. This is particularly true in Europe, where the energy transition continues to drive demand for trusted and sustainable partners.

Over the past several years, REPT BATTERO has been steadily strengthening its international footprint.

The company established its European subsidiary in Munich in 2023 and has since expanded its overseas presence across Germany, the United States, Indonesia, Australia and Japan. Today, REPT BATTERO’s business network spans six continents, supporting customers across a wide range of energy storage and mobility applications.

At the same time, the company is advancing construction of its first overseas manufacturing base in Indonesia, a major milestone in its global manufacturing strategy.

Europe remains one of REPT BATTERO’s most important markets. Earlier this year, during KEY – The Energy Transition Expo in Italy, the company signed energy storage supply agreements totaling 8.3GWh with seven European partners. REPT BATTERO has successfully delivered and deployed energy storage projects in Germany, Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Ukraine, Poland, Moldova and Latvia, further strengthening its presence in Europe.

Taken together, these developments demonstrate that REPT BATTERO’s global strategy extends far beyond exports. The company is building local presence, local partnerships and long-term capabilities designed to support customers worldwide.

Building a Global Brand

As technology, products and services enter global markets, another challenge emerges: building recognition and trust.

This is one of the reasons behind REPT BATTERO’s partnership with Inter Milan.

Announced in May 2026, the collaboration goes beyond traditional sponsorship. It includes brand campaigns, fan engagement initiatives, customer experiences and future activations across international markets.

For REPT BATTERO, the partnership represents a new approach to global brand building.

Historically, battery companies have communicated primarily through technical specifications, product performance and manufacturing capabilities. While these remain essential, global audiences increasingly connect with brands through stories, experiences and shared values.

Football provides a unique platform for that connection.

With one of the largest fan bases in world football, Inter Milan offers a global stage that transcends language, geography and culture. Through the partnership, REPT BATTERO aims to engage customers and communities in a more accessible, international and human-centered way.

The goal is not simply to increase visibility. It is to help a broader audience understand the innovation, ambition and long-term vision behind the company.

Youth Is About Agility, Not Image

Founded in 2017 and entering production just one year later, REPT BATTERO remains a relatively young company by industry standards.

Yet its development has been remarkably rapid.

The company became one of the fastest battery manufacturers in the industry to surpass RMB 10 billion in annual revenue. Since then, it has continued evolving—from rapid expansion to profitability, from domestic growth to international development, and from product exports to global brand building.

At REPT BATTERO, being young is not about image. It is about agility.

It means responding quickly to changing market conditions, adapting to customer needs and continuously improving across products, operations and organization.

Whether addressing growing demand for residential energy storage in Europe, preparing for emerging battery passport requirements, or navigating an industry increasingly focused on profitability and sustainable growth, REPT BATTERO has consistently demonstrated its ability to adapt and execute.

This combination of innovation, responsiveness and global ambition continues to shape the company’s identity as it enters its next stage of development.

See You in Munich

From SNEC in Shanghai to Intersolar Europe in Munich, the interaction between REPT BATTERO and INTER MILAN continues.

Yet the company’s story is about more than exhibitions or celebrity appearances. It is about the evolution of a young energy company building the capabilities, partnerships and brand needed to compete on a global stage.

This June, as the FIFA World Cup captures the attention of football fans around the world, REPT BATTERO will welcome an Inter Milan legend to its booth at Intersolar Europe in Munich.

When a player who once stood at the pinnacle of world football walks into the booth of a young Chinese energy company and exchanges handshakes and conversations with customers and partners from across the globe, the moment represents something larger than a partnership.

It reflects how far REPT BATTERO has come—and where it is heading next.

From a fast-growing battery manufacturer to an increasingly global energy brand, REPT BATTERO’s journey is still being written. And perhaps, that scene in Munich will be one of its most meaningful chapters yet.
