BIOLAB HOLDINGS REBRANDS AS EMERANOVA, EYES GLOBAL EXPANSION

 

EmeraNova seeks partners around the world to bring promising technologies to market quickly and equip clinicians with advanced, effective solutions.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 16 (Bernama) -- BioLab Holdings has rebranded as EmeraNova, as it widens its focus from chronic wound care to tissue restoration across medical specialities, healing phases and care settings.

The company said the new corporate identity reflects its plan to build a global platform that identifies promising technologies and speeds up their path into clinical practice. The name combines emerging (Emer) and new (Nova), reflecting its aim to pursue new technologies.

“BioLab was built on a commitment to improve patients’ lives. With EmeraNova, we are widening that lens,” said EmeraNova President and Chief Executive Officer, Jaime Leija in a statement.

He said the company was looking at technologies around the world to create a more connected ecosystem of care and bring the right innovations to clinicians and patients faster.

EmeraNova said it aims to expand into new care settings, including acute care and hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs), while continuing to serve outpatient and mobile wound clinics and to supply its existing amniotic membrane products.

It also hopes to broaden its clinical applications into surgery, sports medicine, vascular care and aesthetics, and to take its products overseas through international commercialisation partnerships.

EmeraNova organises its products into eight areas, namely Assess & Differentiate, Diagnose, Debride, Control, Prepare, Restore & Regenerate, Reassess, and Remodel Tissue. Across these categories, it is seeking partners worldwide to bring promising technologies to market quickly.

The company said its clinical research covers multiple products, with four clinical trials and three published, peer-reviewed retrospective studies run in 2026.

EmeraNova will present its new brand at the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) in Las Vegas from Oct 16 to 18.

Axi Rebrands Across 100+ Markets, Designed by Properly Studio

Brand, 150+ page website and product UI for 1.4 million users, tailored market by market with a custom AI workflow 


WARSAW, Poland, Oct 16 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Axi, a global online trading brand with a presence across multiple markets, wanted a brand that was "globally consistent and locally connected", and adaptable to the requirements of different markets and jurisdictions. Properly Studio designed an identity that adapts market by market, and a site that shifts by jurisdiction.

Axi calls the result an evolution: the logo and the red stay, everything else changed, up to a globally scalable character system. Properly grouped Axi's markets into four regions, APAC, Middle East, Europe and South America, each with its own landscapes and personas.

The imagery came from a custom AI-assisted production workflow built for Axi and finished by hand, in place of a hundred separate photoshoots. The same persona steps from a banner into an animation or a new market without booking a crew or reshooting a frame. It carries into the Axi app, the client portal and Axi Select, a programme available only in certain jurisdictions and not available to EU residents.

Full case study: properly.studio/case-study/axi. The designers write it up at properly.studio/blog.

"The challenge was never the look. It was building a brand identity that adapts to every market and jurisdiction, from what it shows to what it's allowed to say," said Mateusz Piątek, Co-Founder at Properly Studio.

"Entrusting our brand refresh to an outside team was a big decision as it's something deeply personal to us. But choosing Properly was absolutely the right call," said Julie Sharova, Global Head of Marketing at Axi. "Their dedication and focus were never in doubt, and the result speaks for itself. If we had to do it all over again, we'd choose Properly without hesitation."

About Properly Studio

Properly Studio is a Warsaw-based design partner for modern finance: fintech branding, brand localization, product design, design systems. Six years in, 100+ projects for clients including Axi, Sky and NDAX, whose products manage $15 billion in assets. properly.studio

NETBOX LABS SIGNS NVIDIA, GRAFANA LABS PARTNERSHIPS

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 (Bernama) -- NetBox Labs, which develops the network and data centre management software NetBox, has announced partnerships with NVIDIA and Grafana Labs, along with new platform capabilities, at its first NetBox Evolve conference.

“Today NetBox is used by companies like Arm, CoreWeave, Kaiser Permanente and JPMorgan Chase to build, run and grow their networks and infrastructure.

“We are seeing tremendous growth, with more than 90 per cent of the top neoclouds using NetBox to design and scale their AI data centres, and we expect NetBox to power more than 100 GW of AI data centre capacity by 2030,” said NetBox Labs chief executive officer and co-founder, Kris Beevers in a statement.

Under the NVIDIA partnership, NetBox is now a native source of truth for NVIDIA Configuration Manager (NVCM), the network orchestration component of NVIDIA DSX OS. It provides the data that drives automated configuration across NVIDIA-native cluster fabrics.

NetBox Labs and Grafana Labs have also released a free, open-source NetBox plugin in the Grafana catalogue. The plugin brings live infrastructure details, such as site, role, tenant, rack, owner and lifecycle, into Grafana dashboards and alerts. According to the companies, it requires no pipeline changes, avoids stale labels and adds no metric cost.

Separately, NetBox Labs’ open-source Orb platform now supplies network flow and packet telemetry to Grafana Cloud users.

NetBox Labs has also expanded its Infrastructure Intelligence Platform. NetBox Designs, now in public preview, provides reusable templates for designing sites, racks and IP plans for large-scale deployments.

NetBox Agents adds pre-built AI agents for tasks including change request review, compliance and data quality management, also in public preview. A fully managed NetBox Platform MCP Server, now generally available, lets customers’ own AI agents query and change infrastructure in plain language.

NetBox Analytics, which has added new ready-made dashboards, and NetBox Visual Explorer will become generally available in November.

TOSHIBA LAUNCHES FOUR EFUSE ICS FOR LOW-VOLTAGE POWER PROTECTION

Toshiba: TCKE5 Series of small-package eFuse ICs supporting 1.7V low-voltage operation.



KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba), a supplier of advanced semiconductor and storage solutions, has launched four electronic fuses (eFuse ICs) under its TCKE5 Series, integrating multiple functions to protect power supply lines.

The new products operate over an input voltage range of 1.7 volts (V) to 5.5V and are housed in the compact SOT-353F (UFV) package. The lineup comprises four models: “TCKE501UA”, “TCKE501UL”, “TCKE502UA” and “TCKE502UL.” Shipments began on Oct 12.

According to Toshiba in a statement, the TCKE5 Series is the first in its eFuse IC lineup to support 1.8V power lines, making it suitable for low-voltage applications, including Secure Digital (SD) memory cards.

As electronic devices become smaller, more functional, and less power-intensive, demand for low-voltage power supplies has increased. Protection against overcurrent and short-circuit conditions is also essential to improve the reliability of low-voltage power lines.

The series comes in a compact, low-profile package that reduces printed circuit board (PCB) mounting area, supporting space-saving, high-density designs for wearable and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

Alongside the short-circuit protection offered by physical fuses, such as glass tube and chip current fuses, the TCKE5 Series features overcurrent protection that shuts off output when excessive current is detected.

The overcurrent protection function also includes a mask time to help prevent unnecessary shutdowns caused by transient peak currents, thus protecting downstream circuits and improving system safety and reliability.

The lineup includes auto-retry models, which automatically restore circuit operation, and latch-type models, which require an external signal to recover. Different slew-rate settings are also available to meet power sequencing requirements.

Toshiba said it would continue expanding its eFuse IC lineup to support a wider range of equipment.

(US$1 = RM4.08)

The company has also expanded its use of AI, with large models processing real-time information streams and improving through reinforcement learning to support investment research and trading strategies.

Going Asset Management plans to continue prioritising AI and risk management while expanding its quantitative research and development across global markets, leveraging Hong Kong’s role as a link between international capital markets.

The firm aims to provide global investors with more resilient portfolios and asset allocation solutions through stronger strategies, greater operational transparency and higher compliance standards.

TOLUNA FOUNDER TO STEP DOWN AS CEO AFTER 25 YEARS

 

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 9 (Bernama) -- Toluna Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Frédéric Charles Petit, plans to step down from the role following the appointment of his successor, as the consumer insights and market research technology company begins a planned leadership transition.

Petit, who founded the company 25 years ago, will remain on its board of directors, retain a significant shareholding and take on a strategic advisory role following the transition, according to Toluna in a statement.

Toluna said its board, in consultation with Petit, had initiated a structured succession process, with a handover plan in place to ensure continuity for clients, employees and business partners. The appointment of the next CEO is expected to be confirmed shortly.

“Founding and building Toluna over the past 25 years has been the privilege of my professional life,” said Petit, adding that the company had a strong foundation, an established team and a technology platform positioned for the next phase of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered consumer insights.

Meanwhile, Toluna Chairman, Bruce Haymes thanked Petit for his leadership and commitment, saying he had built the company from an idea into a global business with a strong platform and a clear strategy for the future.

The board supports the planned transition and welcomes Petit's continued contribution as a board member, adviser and shareholder, Haymes said.

Under Petit's leadership, Toluna pioneered the integration of online consumer panels with research technology and more recently advanced its position in AI-powered insights.

Toluna said its strategy, client commitments and daily operations would continue without disruption throughout the transition as the company pursues its growth plans in technology-enabled and AI-powered consumer insights.

Toshiba Begins Mass Production Of Easy-To-Use Microcontrollers

 

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 8 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has started mass production of the TXZ+ Family Entry-Class M4H Group, standard microcontrollers featuring an Arm Cortex-M4 core with a floating-point unit (FPU).

The microcontrollers are designed for use in small-scale system control applications in consumer products, including air conditioners and washing machines, as well as industrial equipment such as multifunction printers and factory automation systems.

As consumer products and industrial equipment become more sophisticated and diversified, microcontrollers for system control are required to deliver real-time performance and stable operation while also offering easy system design, versatility for long-term deployment and extensibility to derivative products.

There are also small-scale system control applications which require microcontrollers providing essential control functions and can be readily applied to existing systems and new designs, rather than highly advanced functions optimised for specific applications.

Toshiba in a statement said it has addressed these requirements with the TXZ+ Family Entry-Class M4H Group, which emphasises essential functionality and ease of use.

Despite being entry-class products, the microcontrollers employ an Arm Cortex-M4 core with FPU and operate at speeds of up to 120 megahertz (MHz), providing the computing performance and real-time responsiveness required for system control in consumer products and industrial equipment.

M4H products support a supply voltage range of 2.7 volts (V) to 5.5V, making them suitable for both 3V and 5V systems. They can be used in a wide range of system configurations, from derivative development of existing equipment to new system designs.

The microcontrollers integrate basic functions required for system control, including a 12-bit analogue-to-digital converter (ADC), timers, universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART), serial peripheral interface (SPI), inter-integrated circuit (I²C), and direct memory access (DMA).

Toshiba said it will continue to expand its design support resources and enhance its lineup of microcontroller products suitable for system control in consumer products and industrial equipment.

IMAGO Technologies Unveils PaperSmart Dual-Mode Tablet With EdPrep.ai

 

Integrated AI learning support connects classroom instruction, independent study and assessment on one device.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 (Bernama) -- IMAGO Technologies today unveiled PaperSmart, a dual-mode tablet that combines EdPrep.ai personalised learning software with tools for classroom collaboration, digital assessment and device management.

Designed for students and educators, PaperSmart tablet brings learning activities together on one device. Students can review course materials, take handwritten notes and work through guided practice, while institutions can manage devices and support classroom use through integrated software.

A Personalised AI Tutor to support Independent Learning

At the core of the PaperSmart experience is EdPrep.ai, a personalised learning platform designed to help students understand underlying concepts, learn from mistakes, and prepare for examinations with clearer direction. For students, the daily challenge often extends beyond finding information to knowing what to study next, understanding why an answer is wrong, and turning feedback into progress.

EdPrep.ai acts as a "Second Brain" tutor, guiding learners through explanations, practice questions, and step-by-step reasoning via an approachable on-screen AI companion. Supporting this workflow is Smart Learning Memory, an engine that synthesizes a student’s study history, practice results, feedback, and milestones. This creates total continuity between study sessions, tailoring support around individual strengths and areas needing attention.

EdPrep.ai supports preparation for local exams including the SPM, STPM, MUET, IGCSE, A-Levels, IELTS, TOEFL and SAT, with practice activities spanning multiple-choice questions, calculations, essays and spoken responses.

For educators, these tools help connect classroom instruction with independent review and follow-up practice.

“We are proud to bring PaperSmart and EdPrep.ai to market. This isn’t just a device launch—it’s a major contribution to how technology serves education. By pairing adaptive AI software with purpose-built hardware, we are driving the evolution of teaching and learning to a completely new level,” said Rob Hughes, Chief Revenue Officer at IMAGO Technologies.

Two Viewing Modes for Different Learning Tasks

With a double tap, PaperSmart users can switch between a full-colour Standard Mode for visual and interactive content and Paper Mode for reading and handwritten notes.

Open applications, textbook pages, annotations and handwritten notes remain in place when users switch modes, allowing them to continue working without restarting the device.

The built-in IMAGO Collab workspace combines an interactive whiteboard with a digital notebook. Teachers and students can annotate materials and collaborate in real time, supported by teaching templates and Google Workspace integration.

PaperSmart tablet also includes Meeting Mind for lectures, briefings and group discussions. The utility supports offline audio recording, with transcription and summary tools that help turn discussions into study notes, key takeaways and action items.

Tools for Institutional Management and Assessment

PaperSmart’s mobile device management capabilities allow IT teams to enrol devices and manage policies remotely.

For digital exams, Proctor Mode restricts access to selected applications and device functions to help maintain a controlled assessment environment.

Availability

IMAGO Technologies is accepting registrations from educational institutions and organisations interested in PaperSmart deployments. Introductory offers, institutional volume pricing and bundled packages are available through the launch program.

EBC Financial Group at iFX EXPO Asia 2026 covering Markets, Technology, and Industry Dialogue

 

EBC will offer a closer look at some of its newest developments and share news of the EBC Group Foundation


HONG KONG, Oct 7 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asia's trading landscape is evolving rapidly. Technology is accelerating access to market information and trading tools, while regulators across the region continue to adapt to a changing financial environment. That push and pull between growth, and oversight will shape many of the conversations at iFX EXPO Asia 2026, running from 7 to 9 October at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

More than 5,000 professionals from over 130 countries are expected to attend, and EBC Financial Group (EBC) will be among them at Booth 4, presenting its latest developments and joining three sessions on the conference programme.

Why Asia, Why Now

For EBC, the event comes at an important moment for the region. Asia remains one of the world's most active and diverse trading markets, with individual countries taking different approaches to regulation, product access and financial technology.

"Trading is changing fast. Technology, shifting trader and investor behaviour, and ongoing global volatility are reshaping how markets work," said Andria Phiniefs, Marketing Director at EBC Financial Group. "That makes this the right time to connect with traders and partners in Asia as we unveil our newest innovations."

"iFX brings the forex and brokerage industry together in one place making it the ideal place to connect with our traders as well as announce our latest innovations," Phiniefs added. "Join our speakers on Thursday and Friday as they explore the issues shaping the next phase of trading, regulation, and technology. Then visit us at Booth 4 to continue the conversation and see what EBC is working on."

Three Sessions, One Thread

EBC's sessions follow a clear line of questions. Where is the next opportunity in trading and investment? How can trading firms grow without breaking the rules? And once traders have the data, how do they make better decisions with it?

The first question opens the programme. On Thursday 8 October, from 13:20 to 13:50 in the Speaker Hall, Christopher Stiegeler, Chief Operating Officer of EBC Financial Group (UK) Limited, moderates a panel on Asia's next major trading opportunity and its growing regulatory challenges. Panellists will discuss regulatory uncertainty, product innovation and the different approaches to trading across the region.

The second follows on Friday 9 October. From 11:00 to 11:40, Charles Lagares, General Counsel of EBC Financial Group (UK) Limited, moderates "The Compliance Tightrope: How Fast Can Finance Grow Without Breaking the Rules?" The panel looks at how financial firms can expand while keeping pace with changing regulation, emerging technology and more complex compliance demands.

The third brings the two together. From 14:40 to 15:10 at the Mastery Hub, Dr Parker Tian, Head of EBC AI Lab, joins Stiegeler and Lagares for "The Data Isn't Enough: Contextual Intelligence for Trading Decisions". The session starts from a simple idea. Raw data alone rarely tells the full story. Trader behaviour, market conditions and individual trading patterns add the context that turns information into more relevant decisions. This thinking underpins EBC's approach to AI-driven trading.

Delegates can add all three sessions to their agenda through the iFX EXPO app.

Find EBC at the Show

iFX EXPO Asia 2026 runs from 7 to 9 October in Hall 3FG of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Wan Chai. EBC is at Booth 4 and speaks in the Speaker Hall and Mastery Hub on Thursday 8 October and Friday 9 October. Online registration closes at 09:00 (UTC+8) on Wednesday 7 October.

Leveraging its FCA-regulated liquidity access, EBC has established long-term and stable partnerships with over 50 leading banks and non-bank liquidity providers globally. By integrating clearing-grade liquidity quotes, EBC provides clients with direct access to the primary liquidity market, delivering highly competitive institutional-grade liquidity depth and bank-level spreads, allowing clients to easily enjoy extremely low transaction costs. All clients within the group can enjoy top-tier liquidity access through its FCA license; even for offshore accounts, quotes and orders are ultimately processed by a UK company. Combining big data and AI algorithms to optimize order matching mechanisms, EBC achieves over 87.6% of its orders executed at more favourable prices. For high-frequency and high-volume traders, EBC offers the customized EBC Private Room, a dedicated segregated trading channel that conceals trading orders and avoids market order manipulation. EBC is also one of the few licensed brokers in the industry capable of providing qualified professional investors with FCA liquidity clearing accounts with leverage up to 100x.

The Group’s core management team has over 30 years of experience working in large global financial institutions, having gone through multiple complete financial cycles. They have held core management positions in institutions regulated by the FCA, SEC, and CFTC, and their expertise covers key areas such as brokerage business, operations management, compliance and governance, and corporate risk management.

EBC has been named World Finance's "Best Broker in the World" for four consecutive years, earning the trust of over 5 million registered users worldwide. Upholding a long-term perspective, the Group actively fulfils its social responsibilities: as an official partner of FC Barcelona, it collaborates with the University of Oxford’s Department of Economics to promote financial education, supports the UN Foundation's "United to Beat Malaria" project, and partners with the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) to advance women's empowerment and social equity.

EBC firmly believes that everyone who trades seriously deserves to be treated seriously.
