With this new year-round campaign under the Shibuya Good Manner Project, the young generation and overseas visitors to Japan can enjoy a gaming experience built on Fortnite co-created by generation Z (Gen Z) creators while going through a new game challenge intended to raise awareness of good manners.

The ultimate goal is to change the target audiences’ mindsets, making them reconsider the importance of the city’s clean environment as well as improving manners.

■Backgdound
In recent years, nuisance behavior such as street drinking, smoking, and littering continue to increase in Shibuya-ward. The city becomes packed with people, in particular during events, forcing the city to strengthen security measures to control crowds safely. Drawing large crowds of people is not a problem itself. Yet, some visitors’ troublesome behavior is disrupting residents’ daily lives and causing damages to stores in the area, which has become a social issue. Against this backdrop, Future Design Shibuya launched Shibuya Good Manner Project to double down its effort on making Shibuya a safe and secure city, working on diverse activities to solve social issues in partnership with a range of stakeholders. Now, to address the issue and raise awareness as well as educate manners to young people and overseas visitors, transcosmos will run a gaming experience campaign using Fortnite which is built on ideas brought up by Gen Z creators. Through this campaign, transcosmos aims not only to let target audiences enjoy the gaming experience but also become aware of the city they are in, thereby widely spreading the intended message across.

■Project plans (examples)
1) Create and publish games on Fortnite, targeting young generations and inbound visitors
While Fortnite attracts many Gen Z and Gen alpha players, many creators are also in the same generation group. transcosmos will work on solving social issues with this co-created plan by involving the young generations.
Game overview: In a town packed with garbage and garbage creatures, players battle to win back a clean, comfortable, and safe city that they used to enjoy.
Scheduled release date: November 1, 2024

Epic Games is not the sponsor, supporter, or operator of this game.

2) Year-round online events
transcosmos will run online events throughout the year. Each event comes with different challenge levels and cityscapes, and there will be live streaming by influencers. The first online event is planned for mid-December.

■SHIBUYA Good Manner Challenge feat. Fortnite supporters and co-creation partners
Future Design Shibuya and transcosmos welcome solution partners who wish to spread the Shibuya Good Manner Project—a project to make Shibuya-ward a safe and secure city with gaming experience on Fortnite—among the young generation and overseas visitors. Partners can enjoy various benefits including partner announcements and advertising on SHIBUYA Good Manner Challenge feat. Fortnite, as well as events that link gaming and real-world activities.

Innovid by Mediaocean Positioned as a Leader in the SPARK Matrix™: AdTech Platform, 2026 by QKS Group

Published

on

By

PUNE, India, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — QKS Group announced today that it has named Innovid by Mediaocean as a leader in the SPARK Matrix™: AdTech Platform, 2026. This comprehensive evaluation provides a detailed competitive analysis, market ranking, and strategic insights to help users evaluate global vendor capabilities and market positions.

This recognition also reflects Innovid’s continued investment in AI-powered execution and the value it is delivering to customers and the industry at large. Earlier this month, the company introduced NIVO, its AI core for agents and orchestration, helping marketers turn intelligence into action across the advertising lifecycle. Early adopters have already reported workflow efficiency gains of up to 90%. 

“Innovid by Mediaocean’s leadership position in the advertising technology market is supported by its breadth across creative management, ad serving, campaign execution, measurement, optimization, and workflow automation,” said Richa Choubey, Senior Analyst, QKS Group. “The platform is particularly strong in helping advertisers manage campaigns across connected TV, digital, social, and linear media while providing greater consistency in execution and measurement across channels. Through cross-channel delivery capabilities, independent measurement, AI-enabled optimization, and interoperability across the advertising ecosystem, Innovid by Mediaocean enables brands and agencies to improve operational efficiency, strengthen performance visibility, and better manage increasingly fragmented media environments. Its integrated approach supports organizations seeking greater control over campaign operations, measurement consistency, and linkage between advertising investments and business outcomes.”

Analyst Assessment: Aligning with Market Dynamics

Innovid operates at the intersection of several of the most significant trends shaping the advertising technology landscape, including the rise of CTV, the growing demand for independent measurement, increasing media fragmentation, and the application of AI to campaign execution and optimization. Rather than competing solely on individual point capabilities, the platform’s value proposition lies in its ability to connect creative management, ad serving, measurement, and optimization workflows across channels that have traditionally been managed in silos.

As advertisers navigate an increasingly complex ecosystem characterized by evolving privacy requirements, proliferating media environments, and heightened expectations for accountability, platforms that can provide consistency, interoperability, and operational efficiency become increasingly important. Innovid’s continued investments in cross-channel measurement, CTV innovation, and AI-enabled workflow automation reflect a clear understanding of these market dynamics. While the AdTech market remains highly competitive and rapidly evolving, Innovid has established itself as a significant independent player with a differentiated position in helping brands, agencies, and media organizations execute, measure, and optimize campaigns across fragmented digital and television environments. Its ability to balance scale, openness, and innovation positions it well as organizations seek greater transparency and control over advertising performance in an omnichannel world.

“Innovid demonstrates differentiated capabilities in creative management and optimization, leveraging AI and automation to improve campaign efficiency and effectiveness,” said Umang Thakur, Vice President and Principal Analyst, QKS Group. “Its support for omnichannel activation, unified measurement, and cross-platform creative governance makes it well suited for organizations seeking to centralize advertising operations and maximize the impact of creative assets at scale.”

Building on a Foundation of AI Innovation

In 2025, QKS Group named Innovid the ‘Most Valuable Pioneer‘ in its AI Maturity Matrix for AdTech, highlighting the company’s ability to embed intelligence across the campaign lifecycle. With the launch of NIVO AI, Innovid has evolved that embedded intelligence into live, scalable execution, addressing the multi-channel complexities and fragmentation challenges highlighted in the QKS report.

“What stands out in this report is the growing need for greater connectivity across the advertising ecosystem,” said Grant Parker, President, Innovid. “Marketers aren’t struggling with a lack of tools; they’re struggling with disconnected workflows, fragmented data, and operational complexity. With NIVO, we’re helping brands and agencies bring those workflows together, turning signals into coordinated action across creative, delivery, measurement, and optimization.”

Innoscience’s current products are not affected by both rulings of the Munich Regional Court

Published

on

By

MUNICH, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Innoscience today announced that the Munich Regional Court has just issued a pair of rulings, from which it could be confirmed that Innoscience’s currently marketed gallium nitride (“GaN”) power device products fall outside the scope of Infineon’s asserted German patents and may be commercialized in Germany without restriction.

These rulings are fully consistent with the final determination issued last month by the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”), which found that Innoscience’s current products do not infringe Infineon’s asserted U.S. patent relating to packaging design (U.S. Patent No. 9,899,481). The Munich case concerns the German counterparts of that same patent family. In line with the ITC’s findings, the Munich Court found infringement only with respect to a limited set of legacy products—certain packaged 650–700V transistors—that had already been discontinued. Therefore, any injunction granted would not apply to Innoscience’s current product portfolio. As a result, there is no impact on Innoscience’s ongoing operations or its customers’ use of its products in Germany.

The decisions mark another significant milestone in Innoscience’s string of favorable outcomes across major jurisdictions. They follow the company’s recent success in China, where it secured an injunction and damages award against Infineon, as well as its decisive victory at the ITC in the United States last month. Together, these rulings reaffirm the legality of Innoscience’s current product portfolio and its ability to operate freely in key global markets.

While proceedings in Germany remain ongoing, including Innoscience’s invalidity challenges to the asserted German patent, the growing body of decisions across China, the United States, and Germany underscores that the global litigation campaign initiated by Infineon has not altered the competitive position of Innoscience’s core products. To the contrary, independent judicial findings across multiple jurisdictions have consistently validated the robustness of Innoscience’s technology and reinforced market confidence in the company’s product compliance and innovation capabilities.

Innoscience remains committed to advancing its technology leadership and expanding its global footprint, delivering cutting-edge GaN solutions to customers worldwide in a fair and competitive marketplace.

By bringing these functions together, institutions can improve resource planning, reduce reliance on manual tracking, identify capacity constraints, and better understand the impact of infrastructure changes.

NetZoom’s DCIM solution offers significant benefits to higher education institutions including:

Campus-wide infrastructure visibility: Helps IT and facilities teams maintain a centralized view of assets across data centers, MDF/IDF closets, labs, classrooms, and distributed campus locations.Improved planning for space, power, and cooling: Provides visibility into capacity utilization so institutions can better support growing digital learning, research computing, and administrative systems.Reduced reliance on manual tracking: Centralizes asset, connectivity, capacity, and change management data to help reduce spreadsheet dependency, duplicate records, and inconsistent documentation.Operational support for limited IT resources: Helps streamline day-to-day infrastructure management, giving campus teams better access to the information needed to plan changes, troubleshoot issues, and manage equipment lifecycles.Scalable support for evolving campus technology: Allows institutions to start with core DCIM functions and expand into areas such as monitoring, reporting, service management, integrations, and advanced capacity planning as their needs grow.
