Published

on

PARIS, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Zendure, a leading innovator in solar energy technology, has been named an official partner for UNESCO World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development (WED) 2025. This prestigious partnership underscores Zendure’s mission to deliver reliable and affordable clean energy to households worldwide, popularizing the latest energy technologies and driving the global transition to a sustainable future.

The year-long WED initiative, launched today at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, showcases the critical role of engineering in achieving global sustainability goals. Zendure’s partnership highlights the company’s commitment to this mission and its significant contributions to clean energy accessibility, particularly within the European market.

Your Energy, Our Future: A Partnership for Sustainability

“We are deeply honored to partner with UNESCO and the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) for World Engineering Day,” said Bryan Liu, CEO and founder of Zendure. “This partnership provides a powerful platform to amplify our message and accelerate the global adoption of household clean energy. At Zendure, we believe that ‘Your Energy, Our Future’ isn’t just a phrase; it’s the fundamental truth driving our work. Every individual’s energy choices directly impact the collective well-being of our planet. We’re committed to empowering people to make those choices sustainable ones.”

Liu’s personal experience growing up without electricity in a rural Chinese village fueled his passion for empowering communities through energy access. This passion is reflected in Zendure’s rapid growth and innovative product line, all designed with the understanding that accessible clean energy is crucial for a shared, sustainable future.

Innovation and Impact: Zendure to Maximize Cost Saving with AI-powered Home Energy Management System

Founded in 2017, Zendure has quickly become a pioneer in the clean energy sector. As the first company to introduce Balcony Solar Solutions (BKW) in Germany, where it holds a top-three market position, Zendure has made solar power a practical reality for urban dwellers. The company’s reach extends across Europe, including France, Austria, and Switzerland, with additional operations in the United States, China, and Japan.

Zendure’s commitment to accessible clean energy is powerfully demonstrated by its latest innovation, the SolarFlow 800, a revolutionary hybrid microinverter. By generating significantly more power and intelligently storing excess energy, the SolarFlow 800 minimizes grid reliance and maximizes savings, empowering individuals to shape a brighter energy future.

Looking ahead, Zendure is poised to further revolutionize home energy management. The company will soon launch the industry’s first AI-empowered Home Energy Management System (HEMS). This groundbreaking system will take home energy storage solutions to the next level, providing users with unprecedented control, cost-savings, and intelligent energy management capabilities. This system will learn user patterns, optimize energy usage, and further enhance the efficiency and affordability of clean energy for households.

The impact of Zendure’s solutions is significant. In 2024 alone, Zendure users generated over 13.17 million kWh of clean electricity, reducing coal consumption by an estimated 4,386 tons – equivalent to planting forests covering 461 football fields. This resulted in an estimated €4-6 million in savings for European households.

Zendure’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond its products. A strategic partnership with Ganfeng Lithium, a global leader in lithium battery production and recycling, ensures the environmental responsibility of Zendure’s energy storage solutions. Ganfeng Lithium’s advanced recycling processes achieve over 90% lithium recovery and more than 95% nickel and cobalt recovery.

Building a Sustainable Future: Zendure and UNESCO’s Shared Vision

The partnership with UNESCO and the WFEO for World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development is a testament to the power of engineering to address global challenges and build a more sustainable future, one household at a time. It directly aligns with WED’s core message: highlighting the crucial role engineers play in achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

About Zendure:

Founded in 2017, Zendure is one of the fastest-growing EnergyTech companies based in the technology centres of Silicon Valley, USA, the Greater Bay Area in China, Japan, and Germany. Zendure’s mission is to deliver reliable and affordable clean energy to homes by advancing the latest energy technology. Its revolutionary SolarFlow balcony energy storage system transforms sunlight into a safe, reliable and resilient energy source for everyday living.

About World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development:

World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development is celebrated every year on 4th March as a UNESCO international day. It highlights the achievements of engineers and engineering in our modern world and aims to improve public understanding of how engineering and technology are central to sustainable development.

AGEDB Announces Preliminary Technical Evaluation of Graph Database and AI Data Platform Opportunities

Published

on

By

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 21, 2026 /CNW/ — AGEDB Technology Ltd. (TSXV: AGET) (“AGEDB” or the “Company”) announces that it is evaluating opportunities to re-engage in its historical graph database business area through preliminary architectural design and technical assessment of potential AI data platform applications, following its entry, on September 16, 2026, into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) with a Korea-listed company exploring opportunities to enter the AI sector (the “Korean Company”).

The Company previously disclosed that it had discontinued its graph database management system operations during the year ended April 30, 2025 and was seeking new business opportunities. The Company is now assessing potential opportunities to leverage its existing Apache AGE-related technology and experience. These preliminary evaluations should not be interpreted as a resumption of full-scale development or commercial operations.

Under the MOU, AGEDB and the Korean Company contemplate evaluating an integrated package combining locally installed PostgreSQL and Apache AGE relationship-analysis database technology with an AI agent. The MOU also contemplates a separate “Personal AI Operating System” evaluation track, referred to as “AGE Brain,” for potential use in user-controlled computing environments. The proposed applications remain conceptual and subject to further technical and commercial assessment.

The contemplated preliminary work includes architectural design and technical evaluation of approaches to connecting relational data with graph-based relationships and supporting AI-assisted information retrieval and analysis. The parties may consider proof-of-concept testing and pilot activities, but no timeline or commitment to undertake such activities has been established under the MOU.

The MOU has a one-year term. Except for provisions expressly identified as binding, it is non-binding and does not require either party to complete development, launch or commercialize a product, make an investment, commit personnel, pay development fees, or enter into a definitive commercial agreement. Specific project scope, deliverables, schedules, responsibilities, costs and any commercialization terms remain subject to further discussions and, where applicable, separate written agreements. Each party will bear its own evaluation costs unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The Company’s evaluation remains preliminary. No product launch, commercial revenue or definitive commercialization arrangement has been agreed, and there can be no assurance that the parties will proceed with development, that the proposed platform will be completed or commercialized, or that the Company will obtain the resources required to advance the opportunity.

AGEDB may also explore potential collaborations with AI development companies in Korea and other markets, subject to available resources and further assessment.

“Jungsoo Kim”
CEO

Acquisition follows a successful partnership between the two companies and advances Bose’s evolution into a multi-brand products and technology company

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. and PARK CITY, Utah, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bose Corporation, a global leader in audio innovation and research, announced today it has acquired Skullcandy, a lifestyle audio brand known for its bold products that bring together sound, style and performance. Bose and Skullcandy have each spent decades finding new ways to bring people closer to the music they love. Together, they’ll combine Bose’s audio expertise, technology and global reach with Skullcandy’s design, understanding of its consumers and authentic community connections to create new products and experiences and accelerate growth.

The acquisition follows a multi-year partnership that has already brought Sound by Bose technology to Skullcandy earbuds and headphones. The companies have seen firsthand how their strengths can come together to create products consumers love while staying true to what makes Skullcandy special, providing a foundation to accelerate further collaboration and innovation.

With a strong position at the intersection of audio, lifestyle and culture, Skullcandy will remain a separate brand within Bose’s Premium Consumer Audio business. Skullcandy’s deep roots in boardsports, including longstanding relationships with passionate supporters of the culture and its athletes, and authentic connections across music, gaming, fitness and other communities present new ways for Bose to meaningfully connect with consumers where it has less presence today.

“For more than 60 years, Bose has been committed to delivering incredible audio experiences however and wherever people choose to listen. As we work to reach even more people, we’re expanding how we do that, not only through Bose products, but through technology partnerships and a growing portfolio of brands,” said Lila Snyder, Chief Executive Officer of Bose Corporation. “As a privately held company, we have the freedom to make bold, long-term investments in opportunities we believe in, and Skullcandy is a great example of that. They have an established, thriving brand, and together we see tremendous opportunity to create new products and experiences and reach more consumers around the world.”

“We believe this is a win for Skullcandy and our fans,” said Brian Garofalow, Chief Executive Officer of Skullcandy. “Skullcandy was born on a chairlift in Park City, Utah, over 20 years ago, and we’ve always believed great music should be part of the experiences people love. Joining Bose gives us the opportunity to make those experiences even better by bringing more of their audio expertise and technology to our products, and it opens up even more ways to take Skullcandy further.”

Bose plans to invest in Skullcandy’s continued growth, providing greater access to technology, resources, global distribution and commercial relationships while giving the brand the freedom to continue evolving in ways that are authentic to its identity and consumers. Skullcandy will continue to be based in Park City, Utah.

Bose acquired Skullcandy from a fund managed by Mill Road Capital Management LLC, a Connecticut-based private investment firm. Jones Day acted as Bose’s legal counsel. Additional information, including financial and other terms of the transaction, will remain confidential.
