Published

on

HONG KONG and SHENZHEN, China, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cleantech Group, a leading global research and advisory firm focused on clean technology, officially announced its 2026 APAC Cleantech 25 list on April 30, 2026. i2Cool has been named to the list in recognition of its disruptive passive radiative cooling technology and strong commercialization progress.

The APAC Cleantech 25 recognizes high-impact clean technology companies across the Asia-Pacific region that have the potential to significantly shape regional industries over the next five to ten years. The list is curated by Cleantech Group, which has been deeply engaged in cleantech research for more than two decades. Its Global Cleantech 100 list is widely regarded as a benchmark in the global clean technology sector, while the APAC Cleantech 25 focuses specifically on the Asia-Pacific region, one of the world’s most active markets for climate technology innovation.

According to Cleantech Group, the selection process combines independent expert evaluation, market intelligence, and data-driven analysis. The 2026 APAC Cleantech 25 jury includes investors and strategic experts from organizations such as ADB Ventures, Aramco Ventures, BASF, bp Ventures, Breakthrough Energy, IFC, and NIO Capital.

Founded in 2021, i2Cool originated from the HK Tech 300 innovation and entrepreneurship programme at City University of Hong Kong. In 2022, the company expanded into the Greater Bay Area with operations in Shenzhen and a manufacturing base in Guangzhou. Based on its electricity-free cooling nano-particle technology, i2Cool has developed a diversified product portfolio covering cooling coatings, membranes, window films, and textiles.

i2Cool’s core technology is inspired by the photothermal regulation mechanism of the Saharan silver ant’s hair structure. After seven years of research and development, the technology has been transformed from laboratory research into commercially scalable passive radiative cooling solutions. Its coating technology achieves over 95% solar reflectance and releases heat through mid-infrared radiation into cold outer space, enabling passive cooling without electricity or refrigerants.

Being named to the 2026 APAC Cleantech 25 marks an important international recognition of i2Cool’s technology and commercialization potential. As demand grows across Southeast Asia for cost-effective, easy-to-deploy, zero-carbon cooling solutions, i2Cool’s electricity-free cooling technology provides a practical response to high-temperature markets, especially in regions such as the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia, where hot climates and high energy infrastructure maintenance costs create strong cooling demands.

As of March 2026, i2Cool has completed more than 500 projects across nearly 30 countries and regions. The company is also focusing on markets in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other hot-climate regions under the Belt and Road Initiative, promoting the international deployment of energy-saving and environmentally friendly cooling technologies.

i2Cool will attend the Cleantech Forum Asia 2026 awards ceremony in Singapore from May 20 to 21, 2026, where it will join global clean technology leaders, investors, and industry experts to discuss what cleantech solutions work in Asia-Pacific systems and how they can be scaled.

Looking ahead, i2Cool will continue to focus on technology advancement, application expansion, and global market development. The company will further optimize radiative cooling structures, develop next-generation electricity-free cooling composite materials for extreme heat and humid climates, and promote system-level applications in green buildings, cold chain logistics, data centers, petrochemical tank areas, photovoltaic power plants, and other industrial decarbonization scenarios.

From Hong Kong Science Park to the Greater Bay Area, and from the Greater Bay Area to the Asia-Pacific stage, i2Cool remains committed to bringing zero-carbon cooling technology to more hot regions around the world.

MediaGo Wins Two Stevie® Awards in the 24th Annual American Business Awards®

Published

By

SAN FRANCISCO, May 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MediaGo, the global intelligent advertising platform, has been recognized with two technology awards at the 24th Annual American Business Awards® (The Stevie® Awards). MediaGo’s newly upgraded smart bidding product, SmartBid 3.0, secured Bronze Stevie® Awards in two major categories: “Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning Solution – Other” and “Technology Innovation of the Year – Software.”

Widely considered the premier business awards in the United States, the American Business Awards® recognize excellence across multiple areas, including technology innovation, product development, and customer service. This marks the fourth consecutive year that MediaGo has been honored by the program, underscoring its continued investment and progress in deep learning and programmatic advertising technology.

Today’s performance marketing industry continues to face three structural challenges: inefficient campaign cold starts, skyrocketing costs during scaling, and overall performance instability. Traditional bidding systems rely heavily on reactive adjustments, making it difficult to balance scale and efficiency across the open web. Powered by deep learning, MediaGo’s upgraded SmartBid 3.0 tackles these hurdles through proactive exploration, global learning, and multi-dimensional optimization. The platform has proven its ability to scale ad spend by 58% while strictly maintaining CPA overflow within 1.15, enabling advertisers to achieve rapid scaling, stable conversions, and strict cost control in highly competitive markets.

Judges of this year’s American Business Awards® commended SmartBid 3.0, highlighting its significance in addressing core industry challenges. One judge commented: “SmartBid 3.0 represents a substantial technological advancement in programmatic advertising. It effectively addresses two fundamental issues in open web bidding systems: inefficient cold starts and unstable scaling. Its global learning architecture is particularly impactful, allowing new campaigns to inherit high-performing patterns instead of starting from scratch, significantly reducing budget waste. Even as spend increases, it maintains strict control over CPA overflow, demonstrating exceptional scalability and stability.”

These capabilities have been validated through collaboration with NerdWallet, a leading personal finance platform in North America. Operating in the fiercely competitive financial lead generation sector, NerdWallet previously faced continuous challenges with scaling efficiently, rising acquisition costs, and conversion stability. By leveraging SmartBid 3.0’s intelligent bidding and full-funnel optimization, NerdWallet achieved a 76% year-over-year increase in ROAS and an impressive 97.9% budget consumption rate, alongside improved lead quality and campaign stability. The judges specifically praised the tangible business impact demonstrated in this use case.

“Securing two technology awards at the American Business Awards® is a strong validation of MediaGo’s long-standing commitment to innovation, performance-driven solutions, and an advertiser-first approach,” said Catelyn Wang, Head of Global BD & Sales, MediaGo. “Winning for the fourth consecutive year is a major milestone for us. Looking ahead, MediaGo will continue to advance the application of deep learning technologies in open web advertising, empowering global advertisers to break through growth challenges and achieve high-quality, sustainable business outcomes in an increasingly complex market environment.”

P&L INFLECTION: WHY FY26 REPRESENTS A STRUCTURAL SHIFT

FY26 is not simply another year of growth, it represents a structural shift in Zaggle’s earnings profile. For the first time, the company demonstrated clear and consistent operating leverage at scale, with EBITDA and PAT both growing materially faster than revenue.

Operating Leverage Now Visible

Every incremental rupee of revenue is generating
disproportionately higher EBITDA and profit, the
hallmark of a maturing FinTech SaaS platform model.

Profit Outpacing Revenue

Revenue grew 46.3%, yet Adjusted EBITDA grew 51.0% 
and PAT grew 51.8%, confirming improving unit
economics and monetization depth.

Strong Cash Conversion

Cash PAT of ₹1,779 Mn at 54%+ growth reflects the
quality of earnings and strengthens Zaggle’s capacity to
self-fund growth initiatives.

Margin Expansion on Track

Full year EBITDA margin reached 10.0%, up 30 bps YoY,
with further expansion expected as AI-led automation
and platform scale deepen.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“FY26 demonstrates what Zaggle’s platform model looks like at scale and the numbers tell a compelling story for our investors. Revenue grew 46.3% to ₹19,076 Mn. PAT grew faster, at 51.8%, to ₹1,388 Mn. Cash PAT grew faster still, at over 54%, to ₹1,779 Mn. This compounding dynamic, where each layer of growth generates disproportionately higher returns, is precisely what we have been building towards. During the year, we strengthened the platform further through strategic acquisitions, launched our Retail RuPay Credit Card with UPI, established our GIFT City entity and accelerated AI deployment across the business. With FY27 consolidated revenue growth guidance of approximately 40%, we enter the new year with strong momentum, a deeper monetization stack and a clear line of sight to sustained, high-quality earnings growth.”
– Dr. Raj P. Narayanam, Founder & Executive Chairman, Zaggle Prepaid Ocean Services Limited

FY26 STRATEGIC GROWTH DRIVERS

Zaggle used FY26 to decisively expand its long-term growth platform across four dimensions:

Inorganic Growth: Completed acquisitions of Greenedge Enterprises and Rivpe Technology (rebranded as Zagg.Money), strengthening its rewards, loyalty and consumer fintech ecosystem.Consumer Credit Entry: Entered the consumer retail credit card market, opening a significant new monetizationopportunity and broadening the platform’s addressable market.Global Infrastructure: Established Zaggle Payments IFSC Ltd in GIFT City, creating a regulated platform for global cross-border payments and international financial services.AI-First Execution: Accelerated deployment of dual AI engines, one driving internal operational efficiency, another powering customer-facing intelligence and spend automation.

FY27 OUTLOOK & GUIDANCE

Building on FY26’s structural momentum, Zaggle enters FY27 with clear growth visibility across AI-first product development, deeper monetization across its four strategic pillars and accelerating international expansion into MENA and US markets.

FY27 STANDALONE REVENUE GROWTH

25–30%

Organic platform expansion
