SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Huawei hosted an online launch event for its intelligent world report series, themed “Act Today. Shape Tomorrow.” The company officially released two research reports at the event: Intelligent World 2035: Turning Vision into Action and Global Digitalization and Intelligence Index 2026. Building on the trend landscape outlined in 2024 and the 10 megatrends identified in 2025, the Intelligent World 2035: Turning Vision into Action report introduces for the first time ten key directions for building an intelligent world, systematically addressing the key challenges in the agentic AI era and providing the industry with an actionable roadmap.

The report highlights that as AI expands from the digital world to the physical world, it is moving beyond a standalone tool to penetrate the core processes of operations and society. It is rewriting the underlying logic of industry and accelerating transformation across sectors.

David Wang, Deputy Chairman of the Board and Rotating Chairman of Huawei, noted in the report, “Agentic AI is a key variable in this transformation. For AI to reshape operational paradigms, the foundations of competition, and industrial dynamics, there are several key challenges we need to address. The direction is clear, but bringing our vision to life demands concrete action. And that’s precisely the focus of this year’s report – Intelligent World 2035: Turning Vision into Action.” According to Wang, this new report begins with the pivotal shifts brought about by the current AI revolution, analyzes the key challenges behind these shifts, and ultimately delivers actionable recommendations for an agentic world – building intelligent infrastructure to reshape user experience and operational paradigms.

According to the report, agentic AI is driving a transition from an application-centric to agent-centric digital world, where agents continuously perceive their environment, autonomously reason and make decisions, dynamically invoke tools, and interact with humans in real time. Every one of these steps involves massive token generation and high-frequency token flow. The report predicts that by 2035, global annual token consumption will grow 100,000-fold, with traffic from agents accounting for over 90%. This shift will place enormous demands on computing, networking, and cloud infrastructure, far exceeding what traditional Internet applications demand. Based on this observation, the report outlines ten key directions:

1. Building AGI with autonomous cognition and general capabilities for any task: Going physical is the essential path to AGI, which requires advances in language intelligence, embodied intelligence, and scientific intelligence.
2. Scaling computing clusters 100-fold and reducing agent task costs 1,000-fold: Aside from boosting chip-level computing, the industry must also shift to SuperPoD computing systems for higher token output efficiency.
3. Novel storage and memory systems with causal accuracy and trustworthy traceability to drive the evolution from data to knowledge and memory.
4. Experience-centric intelligent connectivity infrastructure with AI integrated into communications systems.
5. Tau Scaling Law: Exploring chip design methodologies and tools to co-optimize latency and energy efficiency by replacing geometric scaling with time scaling in order to drive semiconductor evolution.
6. Agent OS: Shifting from harnessing the environment to autonomous evolution and laying an agent-native technical foundation, with its capabilities summarized as: (Coordination × Execution × Memory × Connectivity) ^ Evolution.
7. Defining a novel paradigm for seamlessly adaptive and ubiquitous device intelligence to enable pervasive intelligent services across devices and scenarios.
8. Self-learning and ultimate safety in intelligent driving to push vehicles to evolve into mobile embodied agents.
9. Breaking power and thermal limits to scale AI data center computing power.
10. Safeguarding the intelligent world via security and privacy protection for autonomous agents.

To address these challenges in the agentic AI era, as noted in the report, it is essential to develop token-centric, end-to-end intelligent infrastructure that spans token generation, delivery, consumption, and security. This requires building SuperPoDs and open ecosystems to enhance token production efficiency, developing intelligent connectivity infrastructure to ensure seamless token flows, and deploying agentic-native cloud platforms to accelerate AI adoption across industries. Ultimately, these practices will transform tokens into perceivable intelligent services, reshaping both personal user experiences and enterprise operational paradigms.

To conclude the report, Huawei proposes five initiatives: take a long-term approach, remain people-centric, uphold the principle of tech for good, remain committed to openness and collaboration, and adopt a systems approach, with the aim of translating technological innovation into industry progress.

At the event, the Global Digitalization and Intelligence Index 2026, jointly developed by Huawei and the Institute of Economics at Tsinghua University, was also released to provide countries with pathways to an intelligent economy. Bringing together insights from experts from across economics, sociology, and ICT, the report forecasts that AI will generate over US$27 trillion in cumulative economic value over the next five years. Furthermore, global investment in digital and intelligent infrastructure is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.14%, surpassing US$4 trillion by 2030. This will provide a strong foundation for the continued expansion of the intelligent economy.

The report reframes the core factors of production of the digital and intelligent world into data, ICT talent, and digital and intelligent technologies. It underscores that integrating networking, computing, and storage provides the fertile ground needed for successful industrial upgrading. The report assesses the digital and intelligent development of 90 surveyed countries and categorizes their progress into three stages: Builder, Adopter, and Frontrunner, providing policymakers with clear pathways to an intelligent economy. The report also emphasizes that while no universal paradigm exists for the intelligent era, quantitative assessment allows each country to identify its own areas of focus and map a customized development pathway tailored to its conditions.

In his foreword in the Intelligent World 2035: Turning Vision into Action report, Wang concludes, “Visions are painted in words, but measured in deeds. Huawei is ready to join hands with customers and partners around the world, turning every practical step we take today into meaningful progress toward the Intelligent World 2035.”

News Summary

• RelativityOne is now Relativity aiR, a name that reflects AI’s central role in how legal teams perform their most complex, high-stakes work.
• Relativity aiR has delivered more than 620 million high-value legal results in 2026 alone.
• Relativity is evolving its platform name as it deepens its embedded AI-native capabilities, expands to serve a broader group of users and solve more legal data intelligence use cases, and meets legal professionals where and how they work. 

CHICAGO, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Relativity, a legal data intelligence company, today announced that RelativityOne is now Relativity aiR. This unifies the platform and its AI capabilities under one name, reflecting the company’s continued commitment to making AI foundational to the platform where legal teams already do their most consequential work. Relativity aiR was previously the name for the company’s suite of agentic AI capabilities integrated into its extensible cloud platform, RelativityOne.

“In our 25 years, Relativity has led this community through every major shift in the industry, from paper to digital evidence, from on-premises to the cloud, and now to AI. That’s our history—it’s our DNA,” said Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity. “We’ve been adapting and building AI into our platform for over a decade. This name confirms what our community already knows: AI is as transformative a shift as the cloud was years ago, and Relativity has the trusted platform and the experience to lead through it responsibly.” 

AI built on trust, proven in practice
Relativity aiR is a new name for the same platform the world’s largest law firms and corporations, government agencies, and a robust network of channel partners rely on today. AI now handles more of the high-volume legal work that used to consume thousands of hours, empowering legal teams to uncover insights faster and make smarter, more strategic decisions.

Relativity aiR has delivered more than 620 million high-value legal results—professional work that a qualified human confirmed and used on real matters—across customer matters in 2026, as of Sept. 9. Questions beyond the abilities of a keyword or metadata search to answer, requiring an agent to read across the record and reason about what it says, have grown 44 percent month over month. More than 40 published customer and partner stories document what Relativity aiR delivers in practice: multimillion-dollar litigations completed with a fraction of the review hours, data subject access and regulatory productions completed in as little as 48 hours with precision rates as high as 99.8 percent, and internal investigations that once took a full team months have been resolved by a single reviewer in under an hour.

“Today we’re celebrating what customers are achieving with Relativity aiR, the platform we’ve built and the future it empowers: the system of record for the industry’s most sensitive data and the system of action that reads it, reasons over it and turns it into work product with transparency, defensibility and governance,” said Chris Brown, President of Relativity. “That combination of trust and verified results is what we have been building on as we bring aiR to lawyers, into Word and other surfaces where legal work happens.”

Relativity aiR’s AI capabilities are included in the platform’s current pricing, so customers can have access to every agentic tool as part of their platform, with the value flowing through the work itself rather than a separate line item. The shift from RelativityOne to Relativity aiR reinforces where Relativity is focused: AI embedded natively throughout the platform, AI agents supporting the work already performed and opening up new kinds of work, simpler experiences built around AI agents, and extensibility that empowers Relativity’s community of partners and practitioners to solve new and unique legal challenges.

Expanding who the platform serves and what it solves
Relativity has expanded who the platform serves and how. In recent months, the company has advanced Relativity aiR to support a broader group of users, including lawyers and the legal data and technology teams working alongside them. Currently in Advanced Access, Relativity claiR gives lawyers conversational command of their legal data. Relativity aiR has also been tackling more legal data intelligence use cases, from litigation and internal investigations to data breach responses and Freedom of Information Act requests. Fifty-seven percent of new workspaces created in Relativity aiR this year serve matters beyond litigation. And, the platform’s intelligence begins the moment data arrives, giving legal teams early case intelligence, including document insights and matter scoping.

Relativity has been working to meet legal professionals where they work. It acquired Gavel to bring Relativity aiR directly into Microsoft Word, so the intelligence that lives in the platform can follow lawyers into the documents they are drafting. And through Model Context Protocol integrations, external enterprise AI agents can now orchestrate matters and workflows within Relativity aiR.

Read Relativity’s blog for more from Brown on the platform’s next chapter. Attend RelFest Chicago, Sept. 29–Oct. 1, to connect with thousands from the legal intelligence community.

UJET’s mobile-native architecture, AI-first strategy, and orchestration model – turns strategic vision into measurable customer outcomes.

SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan today recognizes UJET with the 2026 North American Competitive Strategy Leadership Recognition in the Customer Experience Platforms industry for translating its AI in CX strategy into sustained market momentum and tangible customer value. As AI, cloud technology, and evolving customer expectations reshape the customer experience landscape, UJET is taking a differentiated approach to CX through mobile-native innovation, intelligent orchestration, and a strong focus on measurable customer outcomes. The recognition reflects UJET’s evolution from a traditional CCaaS provider into an AI-first CX platform company.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. UJET demonstrated strength across both, aligning its strategic initiatives with market needs while executing with agility and a clear focus on customer outcomes.

“UJET’s mobile-native architecture and biometric authentication capabilities establish a new standard for frictionless customer engagement—by eliminating redundant authentication cycles and enabling pre-session context sharing, the platform delivers measurable handle time reductions and a materially better customer experience from the very first second of contact,” said Sebastian Menutti, Industry Director, CX, Frost & Sullivan.

A central element of UJET’s strategy is its AI-first transformation, anchored by the acquisition of Spiral, an AI-powered conversational analytics company, and UJET’s Agentic Experience Orchestration (AXO) platform, a persistent AI layer that bridges the gap between customer data and interaction management. Rather than automating people out of the interaction, AXO is built to orchestrate humans and AI together across the end-to-end customer journey. UJET also recently introduced CX Accelerators, including virtual agents, agent assist, conversational analytics, and screen sharing, giving enterprises flexible ways to adopt AI without replacing their existing CCaaS infrastructure. Customers are already reporting 20-30% reductions in average handle time.

“UJET’s acquisition of Spiral and the development of the AXO platform signal a substantive strategic evolution: rather than positioning AI as a headcount replacement tool, UJET has built a closed-loop optimization engine that helps enterprises scale revenues and operations with existing staff – delivering the kind of durable, measurable ROI that the market has been chasing,” said Menutti.

“Frost & Sullivan’s research confirms exactly what we’re hearing from our own customers – AI spend is climbing, headcount isn’t falling, and most people still want a real person when the moment matters,” said Matthew Clare, VP of Product Marketing & Solution Consulting at UJET. “That paradox is precisely why we built AXO to orchestrate the agent experience instead of trying to replace it: keep the humans, cut the software. Earning this recognition tells us our strategy and Frost & Sullivan’s view of where this market is headed are pointed in the same direction.”

Customer results demonstrate the impact of this strategy. At Capital on Tap, UJET helped improve SLA delivery from 88% to 92%, reduce average hold time by 12%, and increase CSAT from 4.4 to 4.6. Capital On Tap found in UJET the agile, integrated CX partner they’d been searching for. With faster answers, higher satisfaction, and simplified workflows, the company is now delivering world-class customer service at scale.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Competitive Strategy Leadership Recognition to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning. The recognition highlights forward-thinking organizations that are reshaping their industries through innovation and growth excellence.

Agreement establishes a pathway built on SEC-registered broker-dealer infrastructure to distribute U.S. equities to eligible international investors through HashKey’s licensed exchange network

NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Prometheum Inc. (“Prometheum”), a market infrastructure provider for crypto assets, today announced that its subsidiary Prometheum Capital LLC (“Prometheum Capital”), an SEC-registered, FINRA member crypto asset custodian and clearing broker-dealer, has signed a binding memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with HashKey Digital Asset Group Limited (“HashKey”) and Velocity Capital, LLC (“Velocity”), an SEC-registered, FINRA member broker-dealer authorized for traditional securities clearing and execution, to internationalize tokenized U.S. equities.

HashKey will serve as the international distributor through its eligible licensed exchanges in multiple jurisdictions. Prometheum Capital and Velocity Capital will collectively provide the traditional securities and crypto asset custodial, execution, and clearing solutions to HashKey.

“U.S. equities are among the most sought-after investments, and tokenization is how they will reach global investors at scale,” said Aaron Kaplan, founder and co-CEO, Prometheum Inc. “This MOU connects the world’s deepest capital markets to international digital securities distribution not through offshore wrappers, but through the regulatory frameworks that have made U.S. markets the most trusted in the world.”

“This partnership extends HashKey’s licensed infrastructure to one of the most significant opportunities in digital asset markets. Through this collaboration, eligible clients in multiple jurisdictions will have the opportunity to access tokenized U.S. equities supported by SEC-registered clearing infrastructure, subject to applicable laws and regulatory requirements,” said Dr. Xiao Feng, CEO, HashKey Digital Asset Group. “We see this as a critical step in building the institutional-grade cross-border distribution layer that the industry requires.”

“Tokenized U.S. equities can only work at global scale if the underlying shares are executed, cleared, and held with the same rigor as any share traded in the regulated U.S. equity markets,” said Roy Yan, CEO, Velocity Capital, LLC. “This partnership demonstrates how traditional clearing capabilities support the emerging tokenized securities market while maintaining the operational standards our institutional clients expect.”

The tokenized U.S. equities will be digital twins of the traditional real-world asset versions that are custodied at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), a subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”).

According to DTCC, DTC-tokenized assets maintain the same investor protections, entitlements, and ownership rights as traditional securities, all while enabling greater efficiency and programmability. The DTCC Tokenization Service is expected to launch in Q4 2026.

Eligible securities include the constituents of the Russell 1000, which represents the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies by market cap, as well as ETFs tracking major indices and U.S. Treasury bills, bonds, and notes.

The MOU comes amid rapidly growing global demand for tokenized U.S. equities, one of the fastest-growing segments of the tokenized asset market. U.S. equity markets are the deepest and most trusted in the world, yet most international investors cannot access them directly or cost-efficiently.^[1] Existing alternatives typically offer synthetic exposure rather than direct ownership of the underlying securities, or special purpose vehicle (SPV)-based exposure where the digital token represents a claim in an off-chain legal entity that holds the equity. This MOU establishes one of the first international distribution frameworks built on that foundation by bringing tokenized real-world U.S. securities to international markets – not synthetic or wrapped representations.

The parties intend to negotiate final definitive agreements and complete technical integration in the coming months, with a launch subject to regulatory approval and the completion of technical integration. The parties plan to launch a pilot project in the future.

Disclaimer: The proposed collaboration remains subject to the execution of definitive agreements, completion of technical and operational integration, availability of the DTCC tokenization infrastructure, and satisfaction of all applicable legal, regulatory and licensing requirements in the relevant jurisdictions. Any products or services contemplated in connection with the proposed collaboration may be made available only to eligible investors in specified jurisdictions. No offer or solicitation of any securities or investment product is being made pursuant to this announcement.

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 2026 Amos International Candy Festival brought together distributors, creators, industry leaders and partners from nearly 50 countries for three days of celebration, innovation and exchange in Shenzhen, a global innovation hub known as “China’s Silicon Valley” and host city of the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in November.

For more than 20 years, Amos Food Group has explored new possibilities in confectionery with two defining roles: a Global Sweet Innovator in joy and health, continuously reimagining what sweetness can be, and a Sweet Messenger to the World, using sweetness to connect people, cultures and communities. The festival brought these identities to life through consumer experiences, industry dialogue, product innovation, global collaboration and social impact.

Amos International Candy Carnival: Turning Innovation into Experience

The festival opened with the Amos International Candy Carnival, which transformed Shenzhen Talent Park into a playful candy world, featuring interactive experiences from AMOS and Biobor, performances, character parades and creative installations. Mr. Amos Ma, Founder and CEO of Amos Food Group, officially announced the opening of the Festival. A spectacular drone show illuminated the skyline with candy-inspired imagery and the message “Amos Treats the World to Sweets in Shenzhen” . The carnival invited consumers and citizens to experience confectionery through taste, play, creativity and shared moments. It also reflected a broader ambition to develop the Amos International Candy Festival into a recurring city-level cultural IP, bringing together candy, creativity and global communities.

World Candy Forum: Exploring the Future of Happiness and Health

The World Candy Forum brought together international voices and insights across science, market intelligence, confectionery, nutrition and retail to explore the future of the industry around two enduring consumer needs: Happiness and Health.

Insights from NielsenIQ and Innova Market Insights highlighted evolving global market and consumer trends. Notable speakers included Audra Vogler, Vice President of NCSA; Olivier De Salmiech, APAC Nutrition Vice President at Kerry; Tony Jacobs, Chairman and CEO of Bazooka Candy Brands; and Nobel Laureate Professor Aaron Ciechanover. Together with other global leaders from retail, IP and academia, their diverse perspectives explored how Happiness and Health can shape the next chapter of the global confectionery industry.

The forum also introduced the “Double H Global Sweet Value Co-Creation” initiative, calling for deeper product innovation, stronger quality standards, industry collaboration and sustainable growth—extending Amos’s role as a Sweet Innovator from product creation to value co-creation across the global confectionery ecosystem.

Global Distributor Conference: Innovation Meets Growth

At the Global Distributor Conference, Amos Ma introduced Amos Food Group’s long-term sustainable innovation mechanism and ecosystem, outlining five core innovation methodologies: Six-Senses Innovation, Scenario Innovation, Cross-border Innovation, AI Innovation, and Functional Nutrition Innovation. Elaine Wu, Executive Vice President of Amos Food Group, unveiled new global products across AMOS creative candy and Biobor nutritional gummies. Among the new AMOS launches were To-yah Doodle Egg, combining candy with creative play, and ZestPuck, designed around adventurous flavor experiences, alongside many other new items. Meanwhile, Biobor introduced its latest nutritional innovations and its brand positioning, “Sweet Nutrition for Families Worldwide.“

Renowned media personality Yang Lan joined Amos Ma and other industry leaders for a panel on innovation, globalization and long-term brand building. The conference also highlighted the company’s global brand-building vision. Through “Amos Treats the World to Sweets” , Amos is connecting with consumers worldwide through retail, creators, music, sports and cultural experiences—bringing its role as a Sweet Messenger to the World to life.

From Sweet Connections to Positive Impact

The Sweet Messenger mission also extends to social responsibility. During the festival, Amos announced a partnership with the Yao Foundation, led by former NBA superstar Yao Ming, to launch the “Sweet Ambassadors” Youth Basketball Development Program, supporting sports and development opportunities for young people in underserved rural communities.

The initiative builds on Amos’s broader commitment to social responsibility, such as supporting children with disabilities and impairments and extending care to international refugee children through candy donations. The company also received the Sino-European Corporate ESG Best Practice Award in 2025. Together, these efforts give deeper meaning to “Amos Treats the World to Sweets”: sweetness is not only something to enjoy, but something to share.

A Sweeter Future, Together

From consumer experiences and industry dialogue to global product launches, brand building and social impact, the festival showed the two roles Amos seeks to play in the world: a Sweet Innovator that keeps reimagining candy, and a Sweet Messenger that connects people through sweetness.

Looking ahead, Amos will continue to innovate across Happiness and Health, strengthen partnerships worldwide, and bring more joyful, meaningful sweet moments to consumers and communities around the world.
