EXPEREO EXECUTIVES OUTLINE TECH TRENDS TO RESHAPE ENTERPRISE STRATEGY IN 2026

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 3 (Bernama) -- Expereo, a world-leading managed network as a service (NaaS) provider, has unveiled its leadership team’s predictions on the technology trends that will define enterprise strategy and resilience in the year ahead.

Security is taking centre stage in the boardroom. Following major outages in 2025, its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ben Elms warns that the threat landscape has become too complex, too targeted and too relentless for reactive approaches.

In a statement, he notes that cybercriminals now target executives directly, forcing CEOs to own security decisions or risk severe financial and reputational fallout.

Meanwhile, NaaS is expected to become a core component of enterprise connectivity strategies. Its Chief Digital Officer, Julian Skeels said 2026 will mark the shift from capital expenditure-heavy models to flexible subscription architectures.

“As organisations embrace cloud-native architectures, hybrid work and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven automation, NaaS delivers the flexibility and security, technology leaders need to remain competitive,” added Skeels.

Connectivity will emerge as a frontline business differentiator. Its Chief Information Officer, Jean-Philippe Avelange stresses that in a cloud-first world, resilience is a measure of leadership credibility, noting that a single outage in 2026 could erase billions in market value. Boards must now treat digital infrastructure as a strategic asset rather than an information technology (IT) cost centre.

In Asia Pacific (APAC), data sovereignty will reshape transformation strategies. With India’s DPDPA and Vietnam’s PDPL mandating localised data storage, Expereo APAC President, Eric Wong said global-first cloud strategies will fragment, driving adoption of hybrid, in-country architectures to maintain compliance and market access.

As 2026 approaches, Expereo’s outlook makes clear that technology is no longer a supporting function but a central driver of resilience, credibility, and competitiveness. Enterprises that act decisively now will set the pace for the next era of global business.

Bitget Enhances Tokenized Stock Trading with BSC Network Migration

 

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Dec 2 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), is taking tokenized stock trading to the next level by migrating its tokenized stock tokens (Ondo series) from Ethereum to the high-performance BSC (BEP20) network. In a move designed to enhance user experience and reduce costs, the platform has also extended its zero-fee trading promotion through January 16, 2026.

The shift delivers real benefits for users, allowing faster trades at lower costs, and a smoother experience for the millions trading tokenized stock tokens like Nvidia and Tesla. Starting today, every tokenized stock transaction will automatically run on BSC, eliminating hefty Ethereum gas fees. Combined with zero transaction fees, this change puts more money back in traders' pockets.

Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, shared, "This is really about listening to our community and delivering what matters most to them. BSC gives our traders the speed and cost efficiency they need to succeed, and by extending zero fees through January, we're making sure everyone has time to experience the benefits firsthand. We want to remove the barriers that get in the way of great trading experiences. When our users win, we all win."

The timing couldn't be better. Recent data shows tokenized stock token trading volume surged 446%, demonstrating explosive demand for accessible equity trading within the crypto ecosystem. This growth highlights a fundamental shift in how users want to engage with traditional markets: seamlessly, affordably, and on their own terms. By migrating to BSC, Bitget is responding directly to this surging interest, ensuring users can trade tokenized stock tokens like Nvidia, Tesla, Microsoft, and Amazon more efficiently while keeping more money in their pocket through reduced network costs.

The zero-fee promotion, set to expire on December 6, has been extended through January 16, 2026. That gives users over a month of fee-free trading on tokenized stocks with no transaction fees, no gas fees, and no hidden charges on any trade type (buy, sell, limit, or market orders). It's a meaningful window for users to experience the improved platform and see the benefits for themselves.

The BSC migration marks another step in Bitget's UEX vision, building a single platform where users have access to crypto assets, tokenized stock tokens and real-world assets without friction. By bridging traditional and digital markets with lower costs and faster execution, Bitget is building a unified investment environment where its 120 million users can move faster, smarter, and seamlessly between financial worlds.

Slovenia Launches Digital Nomad Visa, Welcoming Remote Workers For Year-Long Stay

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 24 (Bernama) -- Slovenia introduced its new Digital Nomad Visa on Nov 21, allowing remote workers to live and work in the country for up to one year.

The Slovenian Tourist Board in a statement said it has also launched a dedicated information page for prospective applicants.

Often called Europe’s green heart, Slovenia offers an exceptional natural environment with two-thirds of its land covered by forests and one-third protected. Alpine peaks, crystal-clear lakes, Mediterranean coastlines and rolling green landscapes lie within short distances, providing an ideal setting for remote work.

Cities such as Ljubljana, Maribor, Koper and Celje blend historic charm with contemporary creativity. Ljubljana, a European Green Capital, stands out for its walkable centre, tranquil riverbanks, cultural scene and abundant green spaces.

Slovenia’s diverse culinary landscape—shaped by Alpine, Mediterranean and Pannonian influences—ranges from local markets to Michelin-starred dining.

Beyond its natural beauty, Slovenia is a highly connected and innovation-driven nation. High-speed internet covers nearly the entire country, while coworking spaces, tech parks and start-up hubs foster collaboration. The country also ranks among the world’s safest, placing ninth in the 2025 Global Peace Index.

Slovenia’s compact size is one of its greatest advantages. Remote workers can travel from Ljubljana to Alpine trails or the Adriatic coast in about an hour, with other scenic regions reachable within two hours—making it easy to balance work with leisure and exploration.

Home to globally recognised innovators such as Outfit7, Celtra, Dewesoft, GenePlanet, Mediately and Juicy Marbles, Slovenia embodies a forward-looking spirit grounded in tradition, nature and community.

With the launch of the Digital Nomad Visa, Slovenia invites remote workers to experience a destination where nature, culture and innovation converge.

Bitget Supports Earthquake Relief Efforts in Northern Cebu Through Community-Led Donation Drive

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Nov 24 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), extended support to communities affected by the recent 6.9 magnitude earthquake in northern Cebu, Philippines, through a donation drive conducted in partnership with the Bitget and The Ascent Project. The initiative provided essential relief supplies to 118 residents in Bogo City and San Remigio who were heavily impacted by the disaster.

The earthquake, recorded as the strongest to hit northern Cebu in decades, caused widespread damage across the region, leaving thousands displaced and local infrastructure severely damaged. In response, Bitget funded a PHP 100,000 relief effort that enabled the distribution of food packs, hygiene kits, and other critical necessities to over one hundred families still recovering from the aftermath.

Led by The Ascent Project and supported by local volunteers, the relief operation took place on November 2. The team coordinated with barangay officials to identify affected households and ensure aid reached those with the most urgent needs. Many families were still without stable access to electricity and clean water, and the relief arrived at a crucial time as weather alerts signaled another approaching storm.

“My heart goes out to people that have been struggling during this difficult time. Our community in Cebu has helped us stand with those in need during such distress, we hope to support and continue building trust,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.

The donation was mobilized through Bitget’s local trading community, one of the company’s longest-running grassroots groups in Southeast Asia, reflecting Bitget’s approach of working directly with user communities to identify urgent needs and provide timely support.

The initiative also forms part of Bitget’s broader global impact strategy, which includes long term partnerships such as its collaboration with UNICEF to expand digital and blockchain education for over 1 million young people by 2027.

As recovery in northern Cebu continues, Bitget and its Philippine community partners are evaluating additional ways to provide assistance and support for rebuilding initiatives. The UEX remains committed to extending its presence beyond trading platforms and contributing to meaningful, on ground support where its communities need it most.

Datavault AI Turns Raw Earth into Digital Power in $7 Million Deal with MTB Mining Ltd.

Partnership deal represents the intersection of AI, digital asset creation, and geology


PHILADELPHIA, Nov 25 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN – Datavault AI (“Datavault AI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real‑world asset digitization technologies, today announced a $7 million minting deal and a 30% perpetual royalty partnership with Tanzania-based MTB Mining Limited (MTB), setting the stage for what Datavault AI believes is the first major step forward in modernizing how mineral resources are verified, documented, and brought into global commerce with a unified transaction ledger. The deal redefines a commodity by digitizing Real World Assets (RWA) for monetization. Under Datavault AI’s patented Sumerian® technology, rare earth minerals are being transformed into verified, traceable, digitized assets to be traded on the forthcoming International Elements Exchange™.

This agreement with MTB delivers a blueprint for how physical assets evolve into digital assets.

Africa Steps into the Global Ledger

For generations, Africa supplied the raw materials that were integral in building modern industry. Today, MTB, headquartered in Tanzania, controls over 25 million metric tons of copper reserves and 2.44 square kilometers of proven mineral reserves. Through its alliance with Datavault AI, MTB’s resources are entering the global marketplace in digital form. Each unit of copper, gold, tin, or diamond will carry verified proof of origin, ownership, and value.

The partnership includes the Windsor Ruby, a gemstone that drew global attention when it was discovered near the village of Winza in 2007. Renowned for its deep crimson hue and near-perfect clarity, it rivaled the finest Burmese rubies and quickly drew attention from major luxury houses including Van Cleef & Arpels. Through Datavault AI’s Sumerian® Anchors, the Windsor Ruby will carry a permanent digital signature that is immutable and verifiable. Not only can Sumerian® Anchors provide verification for famous gemstones like the Windsor Ruby, the verification technology can be applied to any precious gemstone.

For Tanzania, where mining represents a vast amount of export value, digitally verifiable asset records represent more than a technological milestone; it is economic modernization. It opens the door for lending, collateralization, and cross-border trade using verified digital assets.

The Proof Economy Arrives

“This deal is a milestone for technology and transparency. By minting real world assets, we are creating compliant, transparent pathways to monetize natural wealth on a global scale,” said Nathaniel Bradley, Datavault AI Chief Executive Officer and co-founder.

Bradley’s message reflects Datavault AI’s broader mission: the Company is building the infrastructure for a data-driven economy where value is established by verification and trusted information.

While the numbers are compelling - a $7 million license fee - the innovative digital architecture provides the promise for future, similar transactions. The International Elements Exchange will operate as a virtual refinery, turning physical assets into digital evidence that can be traded, audited, and monetized.

G42 WELCOMES US AUTHORISATION TO EXPORT ADVANCED AI SEMICONDUCTORS

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 20 (Bernama) -- G42 has welcomed the White House’s decision to authorise the export of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductors to the company, marking a key shift from planning to deployment within the United Arab Emirates (UAE)–United States (US) AI corridor.

According to a statement, G42 said the move reflects growing bilateral trust and strengthens joint efforts to build secure and scalable AI infrastructure.

G42 Group Chief Executive Officer, Peng Xiao said the announcement marks a defining moment for G42 and its partners, and G42 would mirror its UAE-based infrastructure investments in the US to maintain “symmetry and trust at every layer”.

Meanwhile, Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Technology Council Secretary General, Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak said the decision affirms the depth of trust that underpins the UAE–US relationship.

G42 noted that the approval will accelerate major UAE-based projects, including Stargate UAE, a one-gigawatt AI compute cluster it is developing for OpenAI with support from Oracle, Cisco, NVIDIA and SoftBank Group.

Stargate UAE forms part of the broader UAE–US AI Campus, a five-gigawatt hub designed to deliver regional compute capacity and low-latency inferencing. The export authorisation also supports expanding collaboration with US hyperscalers and chipmakers such as Microsoft, AMD, Qualcomm and Cerebras.

The licensing decision is built on a shared operating framework shaped through close US–UAE cooperation to ensure the secure global distribution of American technology.

The deployment of the chips will be governed by the Regulated Technology Environment (RTE), a compliance framework created by G42 and approved under US Department of Commerce and Bureau of Industry and Security guidelines.

G42’s operational AI infrastructure currently includes three of the world’s Top500 supercomputers, with two ranked among the top three in the region, and its Maximus-01 system in New York ranked 20th globally.

The company’s AI infrastructure footprint now spans Abu Dhabi, France and multiple US locations, including California, Minnesota, Texas and New York.
