Next Gen Challenge World Leaders in Youth Manifesto Following Davos 2026

Published

on

Students aged 6 to 18 turn conversations with leaders into practical resolutions for education, industry and governance

ST. GALLEN, Switzerland, June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Students of Institut auf dem Rosenberg have published the Rosenberg Youth Manifesto for Action, a student-authored set of findings, definitions and resolutions shaped by direct conversations with global decision-makers during Rosenberg House Davos at the 2026 World Economic Forum week.

The Manifesto will be officially launched on June 20, 2026. It turns students’ questions, discussions and projects into concrete commitments and real-world examples that leaders in education, industry and governance can apply. Following the launch, the Manifesto will be available in digital and print format via Institut auf dem Rosenberg and its affiliated websites and channels.

The Manifesto follows Rosenberg House Davos, held from January 19 to 23, 2026 on the Schatzalp, where students engaged directly with global decision-makers, technologists, scientists, designers and cultural leaders through roundtables, workshops and salons. In January 2026, Institut auf dem Rosenberg made history as the first school to host a dedicated presence during World Economic Forum week in Davos, with sessions designed, led and hosted by teenagers. Participants included prime ministers, world leaders, educational institutions, creative thinkers, internationally recognised historians and philosophers.

Designed in collaboration with Climate Words, a non-profit organisation dedicated to climate literacy and the language needed to educate others on climate change, the Rosenberg Youth Manifesto is built to be used, not just read. It turns live dialogue into a structured set of definitions, action statements and proof points that help leaders move from intention to accountable implementation.

“What makes this Manifesto significant is not that it speaks on behalf of young people, but that it was written by them. Whether discussing artificial intelligence, urban resilience, education, or global cooperation, one message emerged consistently: young people do not want to be passive observers of change. They want to contribute to shaping it. The Rosenberg Youth Manifesto represents that commitment to moving from dialogue to responsibility and from ideas to action.” –  Bernhard Gademann, President, Institut auf dem Rosenberg

In the Rosenberg House sessions, students’ questions directly shaped the Manifesto’s resolutions including:

 “What does responsible innovation require when our systems extend from earth to orbit and who is accountable?” – Syailendra Q. (Gr.11)

“What does leadership look like, when people expect autonomy to default and what must leaders stop doing and start doing?” –  William H. (Gr.10)

Guest contributions helped the student authors sharpen the chapter focus and the final resolutions. In the spirit of the Manifesto:

“Young people should gain a better understanding of the world in which they live in, but without feeling the responsibility to actually manage it by themselves … ultimately, the responsibility of adults is to take care of the world so kids can focus on growing up.” – Yuval Noah Harari, Historian & Author

“We should never be trying to create learning experiences in which there is only one generation in the room.” – Dr. Caroll O’Donnell, Executive Director, Smithsonian Science Education Centre

What the Manifesto Delivers

While many large-scale youth reports primarily capture the views of older youth audiences, the Rosenberg Youth Manifesto is authored and shaped by students aged 6 to 18. It is a next-generation empowerment project in which young people do not simply comment on the future, but define practical next steps.

Built as a follow-up to Rosenberg House Davos, the Manifesto translates dialogue into a usable, implementation-ready format, including:

Student-written meaning, made usable
Short, real-world definitions of key terms, creating a youth-driven lexicon so important ideas do not remain abstract buzzwords.

Implementable resolutions
Ten clear rules of action per chapter, written to be adopted across education, industry and governance.

Blueprint actions leaders can apply
Concise guidance on what to do next, pointing to decisions, responsibilities and tangible first steps.

Proof from practice
Examples from students’ own work and partner collaborations, showing how concepts move from discussion to reality through prototypes, pilots, charters and applications within the Rosenberg International Curriculum, RIC®.

A youth lens on trust and accountability
A practical approach to trust, based on clarity, transparency, follow-through and repair, demonstrated through action rather than slogans.

Rosenberg House Davos was developed by students of Institut auf dem Rosenberg in collaboration with partners across science, design, technology, finance, media and diplomacy, including MIT, ETH Zurich, UC Berkeley, Vitra, Diplomatic Courier, Smithsonian Science Education Center, Sapienship and the Tim Bergling Foundation, among others.

Notes

Rosenberg House is a standalone initiative and operates independently from the World Economic Forum without its endorsement.

Luxshare Precision Reports 40.2% Revenue Growth in First Half 2026; Business Mix Supports Margin Expansion

Published

on

By

Broad-based growth across consumer electronics, communications and data center, and automotive electronics, supported by targeted investment in AI infrastructure, intelligent vehicles and global delivery capacity

DONGGUAN, China, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Luxshare Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (“Luxshare Precision” or the “Company”) (SZSE: 002475; HKEX: 02475), a global provider of precision intelligent manufacturing solutions, today announced unaudited results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Revenue increased 40.2% year over year to RMB 174.50 billion, while net profit attributable to shareholders rose 18.0% to RMB 7.84 billion. Net profit attributable to shareholders excluding non-recurring gains and losses increased 6.5% to RMB 5.96 billion. Gross margin expanded by 17 basis points to 11.78%.

The margin improvement reflected operating leverage and a more diversified revenue mix, with faster growth in Communications and Data Center and Automotive Electronics, both of which carry gross margins above the Company average. Internal innovation, AI-enabled manufacturing efficiency and disciplined cost management also helped absorb pressure from foreign-exchange movements, higher input costs and investment in new businesses.

“Our first-half performance demonstrates the resilience of Luxshare Precision’s diversified portfolio and global operating platform,” said Wang Laichun, Chairwoman and General Manager of Luxshare Precision. “We are investing with discipline in areas supported by clear customer demand and defined technology roadmaps, particularly AI-enabled devices, AI infrastructure and intelligent vehicles. Our priorities remain execution, operating efficiency and sustainable value creation.”

Strategic Investment and Financial Discipline

Research and development investment increased 43.1% to RMB 6.57 billion, primarily reflecting higher spending on engineering talent, tooling, materials and certification. More than half of the Company’s R&D investment supported technology preparation for programs approaching commercialization.

Capital expenditures totaled RMB 10.27 billion, up RMB 742 million year over year, and were mainly directed toward overseas facility expansion, supporting infrastructure and new product lines. The Company prioritizes investments linked to customer programs, localized delivery and long-term manufacturing flexibility.

Inventory was RMB 50.37 billion at June 30, 2026, up 19.0% from year-end 2025, below the Company’s 40.2% revenue growth. The increase primarily reflected business expansion and strategic material preparation for selected products.

First-half operating cash flow was an outflow of RMB 2.45 billion, mainly due to seasonal supplier payments and more than RMB 5 billion of strategic inventory preparation. Operating cash flow turned positive in the second quarter, reaching RMB 4.62 billion.

Foreign-exchange volatility resulted in approximately RMB 1.99 billion of losses on foreign-currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. Foreign-exchange risk management activities generated approximately RMB 1.30 billion in related gains. Under applicable accounting treatment, these gains were recorded as non-recurring items, while the corresponding losses remained within both disclosed net profit measures.

Growth Across Three Core Businesses

Consumer Electronics revenue increased 19.3% to RMB 122.48 billion. Luxshare Precision continued to deepen core customer relationships and strengthen its ODM and end-to-end product development capabilities. By integrating expertise across acoustics, optics, electrical systems, thermal management, magnetics and precision structures, the Company is extending its participation from components and modules to product definition, system development and volume manufacturing. Priority areas include AI PCs, smart wearables, AI glasses and intelligent acoustic products.

Communications and Data Center revenue increased 49.7% to RMB 16.61 billion. The Company is building an integrated AI infrastructure portfolio spanning high-speed copper interconnects, optical interconnects, thermal management and power management. Operational progress included volume production of 800G optical products, batch shipments of 1.6T DAC, ACC and AEC products, continued customer introductions for liquid-cooling solutions, and scaled production of DC-DC server power modules. Luxshare Precision is also advancing 224G and 448G copper technologies and next-generation optical architectures.

Automotive Electronics revenue increased 274.1% to RMB 32.39 billion, supported by organic growth, customer program ramps and Leoni’s contribution. The Company continued to expand its portfolio across connectors, wiring harnesses, intelligent control systems, smart chassis technologies and powertrain solutions. High-speed connectors and rear-wheel steering products have entered mass production, while intelligent cockpit and advanced driver-assistance platforms are progressing across multiple vehicle programs. Leoni’s integration continued to outperform expectations, strengthening global customer access, engineering resources and localized delivery capabilities.

Global Platform and Outlook

Luxshare Precision operates across five continents, 29 countries and more than 100 production sites. This network supports localized delivery, customer collaboration and supply chain resilience. The Company’s vertically integrated platform spans precision components, functional modules and system-level products, supported by AI-enabled digital tools for quality management, predictive maintenance, production scheduling and standardized global execution.

For the remainder of 2026, Luxshare Precision will continue supporting consumer electronics product launches and ODM/JDM programs; accelerating commercialization across high-speed interconnects, optical products, liquid cooling and power management; and expanding automotive customer programs while capturing further benefits from the Leoni integration.

The Company will maintain disciplined capital allocation and continue investing in technology, manufacturing capacity and global delivery capabilities that support sustainable, high-quality growth.
