Co-located platform connects policy, utility strategy, and AI-enabled technologies to accelerate real-world deployment from 3–5 June 2026 at KLCC.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ENERtec Asia 2026, ASEAN’s premium energy technology exhibition organised by Informa Markets and co-hosted by The Electrical and Electronics Association of Malaysia (TEEAM), announced a strategic collaboration with The Energy Transition Conference 2026 (ETCon26), powered by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB).  The partnership establishes an integrated energy transition execution platform, connecting national policy, utility strategy, technology innovation, capital, and real-world deployment.

Malaysia has entered a decisive implementation phase since National Energy Transition Roadmap kick-started in year 2023, alongside the rollout of utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), nationwide EV charging infrastructure, smart grid and ASEAN Power Grid Interconnection, and the rapid growth of AI-driven data centres. As a result, the nation’s energy transition has moved from planning to active delivery. The ENERtec Asia–ETCon26 alliance responds to this shift by providing a single, integrated platform that transforms policy ambition into investment-ready opportunities and deployable solutions.

Taking place from 3–5 June 2026 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), the co-located events will convene more than 12,000 policymakers, utilities, technology providers, industrial energy users, investors, and innovators from over 60 countries, offering a seamless pipeline from regulation and utility roadmap to solution showcase, financing, and project execution.

ENERtec Asia 2026 will serve as the market-facing engine of the collaboration, showcasing next-generation technologies across grid modernisation, renewable energy integration with BESS, industrial energy efficiency, decarbonisation solutions, and the convergence of energy and artificial intelligence (AI). With over 1,000 exhibitors and 40+ conferences and technical seminars, the exhibition provides solution providers and developers direct access to buyers, utilities, and government stakeholders actively procuring for Malaysia’s net-zero pathway.

Complementing the exhibition, ETCon26 will deliver a high-level strategic conference under the theme “Energy & AI: The Synergy for Energy Transition”, anchored on three critical pillars:

Energy for AI – Building reliable, resilient power infrastructure to support Malaysia’s digital economy and data-centre growth.AI for Energy – Leveraging artificial intelligence to optimise grid operations, asset management, and decarbonisation.Energy Transition for People – Ensuring the transformation delivers inclusive, affordable, and equitable access nationwide.

Together, the partnership aims to bridge policy discussions with actionable solutions, connecting national priorities, utility-led planning, private-sector innovation, and investor engagement to support Malaysia’s energy transition goals.

“ENERtec Asia 2026 represents a pivotal moment for Southeast Asia’s energy transition. Together with TEEAM and TNB, we are creating an ecosystem where innovation is translated into implementation – enabling the market to move from ambition to action in support of ASEAN’s net-zero goals,” said Mr. Gerard Leeuwenburgh, Country General Manager, Informa Markets.

“As co-host of ENERtec Asia 2026, TEEAM regards this platform as a strategic extension of our mandate to strengthen Malaysia’s electrical and electronics ecosystem. By convening stakeholders across power generation, grid infrastructure, digital systems, and energy management, the event helps build the partnerships and technical competencies essential to delivering a secure, resilient, and sustainable national energy future,” said Mr. Albert Tan Tin Yau, President of TEEAM.

The ENERtec Asia 2026 and ETCon26 alliance offers participants privileged access to global thought leadership, AI-powered business matching, next-generation technologies, and exclusive engagement with government agencies, GLCs, and industry leaders – creating a one-stop platform to accelerate innovation, partnerships, and real-world energy deployment across Southeast Asia.

As Malaysia moves decisively from ambition to action, ENERtec Asia 2026 and ETCon26 provide the platform where policy, innovation, and commercialisation converge. Energy professionals, technology innovators, policymakers, and investors are invited to join this transformative gathering to advance a cleaner, smarter, and more resilient energy future.

IT’S A 10® ENTERPRISES MARKS LANDMARK YEAR OF GROWTH, INNOVATION AND INDUSTRY RECOGNITION ACROSS MULTIPLE BRANDS

F.A.S.T. Haircare, Rewind It 10 and Cloud Haircare Earn Six National Beauty Honors Amid Major Retail Expansion and Portfolio Growth

MIAMI, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — It’s a 10® Enterprises, the independently owned beauty company founded by entrepreneur, stylist and product visionary Carolyn Aronson, is celebrating six wins in the SheFinds 2026 Best New Beauty Awards, with products from three of its growing haircare brands, F.A.S.T. Haircare, Rewind It 10, and Cloud Haircare, recognized among the year’s standout beauty launches.

The recognition marks another milestone in a defining year for Carolyn Aronson and It’s a 10 Enterprises, demonstrating that the entrepreneur behind one of professional haircare’s most recognizable brands is building far beyond a single success story.

Twenty years after founding It’s a 10® Haircare and creating the iconic Miracle Leave-In, Aronson has expanded her vision into a diversified portfolio of brands addressing distinct consumer needs, price points and generations. The six SheFinds wins across three separate brands underscore the momentum of that strategy and Aronson’s evolution from the founder of a hero-product-driven haircare brand into the architect of a growing beauty empire.

The 2026 SheFinds Best New Beauty Award winners from the It’s a 10® Enterprises portfolio include:

F.A.S.T. Maximum Length Duo KitRewind It 10 Progressive Greyaway ShampooCloud Haircare Glow ShampooCloud Haircare Glow ConditionerCloud Haircare Glow Texture SprayCloud Haircare Glow Texture Crème

The SheFinds editorial team selected the winners after spending the past year testing hundreds of new beauty launches, innovations and emerging favorites to identify products that stood out for performance.

“Seeing three completely different brands within our portfolio recognized at the same time is incredibly meaningful because it validates what we’ve been building,” said Carolyn Aronson, Founder, CEO and sole owner of It’s a 10® Enterprises. “I’m incredibly proud of what It’s a 10® Haircare has become over the past 20 years, but I’ve never viewed myself as a one-brand entrepreneur. I’ve always believed that great brands begin by identifying what the consumer is missing and creating products that solve real problems. It’s a 10® started with that philosophy, and every brand we’ve built since follows the same principle. Cloud, F.A.S.T. and Rewind It 10 each have a distinct reason to exist and a different consumer to serve, and seeing all three recognized at this level tells me we’re doing exactly what we set out to do.”

The awards arrive amid significant momentum across the It’s a 10® Enterprises portfolio.

F.A.S.T. Haircare, the science-backed hair growth brand built around clinically proven technology, has undergone a significant transformation since being acquired by It’s a 10® Enterprises. With virtually no U.S. retail distribution at the time of acquisition, the brand has since been reimagined and rebranded under Aronson’s leadership, expanding into more than 5,000 retail locations nationwide across CVS, Sally Beauty, JCPenney and H-E-B, with additional availability through Amazon. Today, F.A.S.T. Haircare is available in 40 countries, demonstrating the brand’s evolution from an acquisition with limited U.S. presence into a rapidly growing global haircare business.Rewind It 10, founded in partnership with Fat Joe, is disrupting the men’s grooming category through innovation, high-profile cultural partnerships and a rapidly expanding retail presence. Now available in more than 7,000 retail locations nationwide across CVS, H-E-B, Stop & Shop and Amazon, the brand continues to build significant momentum across the U.S. Earlier this year, Rewind It 10 teamed with Global Brand Ambassador DJ Khaled to introduce its Progressive Greyaway Shampoo, a breakthrough innovation designed to gradually blend grey hair and restore natural-looking color through a simple shampoo routine. That same innovation has now earned recognition in the SheFinds 2026 Best New Beauty Awards.Cloud Haircare, created to bring high-performance haircare to a new generation at an accessible price point, has experienced rapid national growth since entering the mass market in 2025. Building on its nationwide Walmart presence, Cloud has expanded its footprint to more than 7,000 retail locations nationwide across CVS, H-E-B, Giant Eagle, Sally Beauty and JCPenney, with additional availability on Amazon, significantly broadening its reach across mass, specialty and e-commerce channels.

The portfolio-wide recognition comes during a landmark year for the company. Earlier this year, Inc. named Carolyn Aronson to its 2026 Female Founders 500, recognizing the entrepreneurs shaping the future of their industries through innovation, growth and leadership. At the same time, the company’s flagship It’s a 10® Haircare is celebrating its 20th anniversary and named Khloé Kardashian its first-ever Global Brand Ambassador, pairing one of beauty’s most recognizable personalities with an upcoming comprehensive visual evolution designed to introduce the heritage brand to a new generation while preserving the professional formulas that built its reputation.

What began two decades ago with Aronson behind the salon chair and a belief that one exceptional product could simplify a woman’s hair routine has evolved into something considerably larger: a portfolio of brands spanning professional haircare, accessible beauty, hair growth, men’s grooming and emerging innovation. The six SheFinds wins further establish It’s a 10® Enterprises as an emerging multi-brand force in beauty, with Aronson continuing to apply the product development expertise, entrepreneurial instincts and consumer-first philosophy behind It’s a 10® Haircare to an increasingly diverse portfolio.

About It’s a 10® Enterprises
Founded by entrepreneur, stylist and product visionary Carolyn Aronson, It’s a 10® Enterprises is an independently owned beauty company built on professional-quality performance, innovation, inclusivity and accessibility. Its flagship brand, It’s a 10® Haircare, celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2026 and is one of the only Latina female-owned professional haircare brands in the world, offering exceptional products through salons, beauty supply stores and retailers worldwide. Recognized for its multifunctional, award-winning products, It’s a 10® Haircare is home to the category-defining Miracle Leave-In and a portfolio of salon-quality formulas. Building on that success, It’s a 10® Enterprises encompasses It’s a 10® Haircare, It’s a 10® Haircare Tools, Be a 10 Cosmetics, EX10SIONS, F.A.S.T. Haircare, CLOUD Haircare, Rewind It 10 and upcoming launch, ARISE Haircare, uniting a growing portfolio of brands designed to serve distinct consumer needs. Under Aronson’s leadership, It’s a 10® Enterprises continues to expand across categories, consumer demographics and global markets while remaining independently owned and grounded in the product-performance philosophy that launched It’s a 10® Haircare two decades ago.
