DIVEVOLK Ambassador Wu Zhengjie Wins “vivo Vision Plus Mobile Photography Competition 2025″ Photo of the Year

DONGGUAN, China, Sept. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DIVEVOLK, a leader in underwater smartphone technology, is thrilled to announce that its Brand Ambassador, photographer Wu Zhengjie (also known as “Wai Jie”), has won the top honor, “Best Photography of the Year,” at the prestigious vivo VISION+ Grand Ceremony. Wu’s breathtaking underwater photograph, titled “Spaceship,” was captured during a challenging blackwater dive using a vivo X200 Pro smartphone secured in a DIVEVOLK SeaTouch 4 Max full touchscreen housing.

 Wu Zhengjie’s “Spaceship” is announced as Best of the Year at the vivo VISION+ Grand Ceremony.

The award is a significant achievement, with Wu’s image distinguishing itself among a field of entries from highly respected, veteran photographers. At 30 years old, the same age as the vivo brand, Wu Zhengjie’s victory is a powerful testament to his years of dedication and unique artistic vision, making this young photographer’s profile more bright, granting this young photographer another accolade in their portfolio

The Artist and His Vision

A self-taught photographer, Wu Zhengjie’s passion for imaging was sparked 12 years ago by a spectacular sunrise on the coast of Wenzhou. This ignited a journey to capture the “unseen” wonders of the natural world—the stars, volcanoes, lightning, and the deep sea. His work is characterized by a deep reverence for nature, often choosing to kneel while shooting as a sign of respect.

The works of photographer Wu Zhengjie

In 2017, he became a certified diver to explore the 71% of our planet that lies beneath the waves, expanding his world of photography. In March 2022, his search for a more reliable and versatile underwater housing for professional smartphone photography led him to DIVEVOLK.

Use DIVEVOLK to capture images of marine life

“Before DIVEVOLK, I used button-operated housings,” explains Wu Zhengjie. “But they greatly limited the phone’s photographic performance and I couldn’t achieve the creative shots I needed. DIVEVOLK’s patented full touchscreen structure allows me to operate my phone underwater just like on land, unlocking all its functions, including the professional modes I rely on. To this day, every time I shoot a sample for a smartphone brand, I use a DIVEVOLK full touchscreen housing.”

Capturing “Spaceship”: A Blackwater Challenge

The award-winning photo was the result of a new challenge Wu undertook in February 2025: blackwater photography in Anilao, Philippines. This highly difficult genre involves diving in the open ocean at night to photograph the transparent, often microscopic planktonic creatures that migrate from the deep.

“It’s the most difficult subject I’ve ever shot,” says Wu. “You’re in a pitch-black sea, searching for floating, transparent life. It’s an incredibly quiet environment, with only the sound of your own breathing and the tiny creatures that occasionally appear in your focus light.”

The DIVEVOLK housing was essential for this high-contrast, low-light environment. The full touchscreen control allowed Wu to “precisely tap-to-focus” on the tiny, moving subjects and, crucially, to “manually adjust the exposure value (EV).” This combination enabled him to perfectly expose the delicate, transparent creature while rendering the background a deep, dramatic black.

The “Best of the Year” winning photo, “Spaceship,” features a Salp that resembles an ecological drifting station. Its transparent body contains passengers and alien-like organisms, navigating silently through the dark sea. The deep-sea plankton in the background look like distant stars, inspiring the name.

Prof. Ahmad AbuSalah made the remarks during his presentation at the C3 Davos of Healthcare™ New York Summit: Healthcare Disrupted – The Future of AI, Data & Precision Medicine, where KFSHRC participated as a Strategic Partner.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Professor Ahmad AbuSalah, Director of the Digital Innovation Hub at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSHRC), said the hospital has developed more than 30 in-house artificial intelligence (AI) solutions over the past few years and introduced five AI agents in 2025 alone to support clinical note generation, medical translation, and self-service data analysis. He noted that AI is already streamlining operations, cutting costs, and improving patient care across multiple areas, including radiology, workflow automation, patient experience, and physician burnout reduction.

AbuSalah made the remarks during his presentation at the C3 Davos of Healthcare™ New York Summit: Healthcare Disrupted – The Future of AI, Data & Precision Medicine, where KFSHRC participated as a Strategic Partner. He outlined the hospital’s AI ecosystem, built on three pillars: responsible governance, digital empowerment, and value-driven impact. He said this approach balances local capacity development with global partnerships, ensuring transformation that is sustainable, impactful, and aligned with KFSHRC’s mission to deliver world-class healthcare.

At the center of the AI ecosystem is the Digital Innovation Hub, which monitors global technological trends, prototypes solutions, and translates them into clinically and operationally relevant applications. AbuSalah explained that these efforts are improving efficiency, safety, and patient outcomes while maintaining rigorous safeguards against risks such as bias, hallucinations, and performance drift.

He emphasized that KFSHRC’s Applied AI work is designed to produce measurable results by merging clinicians’ and operational managers’ knowledge with AI experts and the latest technologies, such as Generative AI, to build need-driven and value-oriented systems with high utilization. These systems aim to enhance operational quality indicators, optimize supplies and resource management, improve cost efficiency, and provide timely access to contextual, data-driven recommendations. Tools such as diagnostic AI radiology systems for automated readings of chest X-rays and brain CT scans, automated monitoring of patient journey pain points, and automated patient discharge summary generation are examples of how digital innovation is being applied directly to strengthen clinical and operational practice.

Reflecting on lessons learned, AbuSalah underlined the importance of gradual, responsible adoption of AI to build trust among clinicians and patients. He noted that governance, testing, and regular updates are essential to align with both Saudi regulations and international best practices, while global collaborations with universities, technology firms, and healthcare innovators complement the hospital’s investments in local talent.

“KFSHRC’s approach to digital transformation and Applied AI is designed to be both ambitious and responsible,” AbuSalah said. “By balancing digital innovation with governance, and local talent with global collaboration, we are creating digital solutions that are not only transformative but also sustainable and trusted.”

As a recognized leader in healthcare innovation, KFSHRC’s participation in the summit reaffirmed its global role in advancing precision medicine, digital health, and smart hospital models.

KFSHRC has been ranked first in the Middle East and Africa and 15th globally among the top 250 Academic Medical Centres worldwide for 2025. It is also recognized as the most valuable healthcare brand in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East by Brand Finance in 2024, and was listed among the World’s Best Smart Hospitals 2025 by Newsweek.

WeRide Enters Belgium as Autonomous Robobus Rolls Into Leuven

LEUVEN, Belgium, Sept. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WeRide (Nasdaq: WRD), a global leader in autonomous driving technology, announced its expansion into Belgium with the launch of its Robobus in Leuven, in partnership with Flemish public transportation company De Lijn, the City of Leuven, and mobility consultancy firm Espaces-Mobilités. The move marks WeRide’s 11th global market worldwide and builds on its European presence following deployments in France, Switzerland and Spain.

Leuven Robobus

WeRide’s Robobus in Leuven, Belgium

Starting today, WeRide’s Robobus will conduct mapping in downtown Leuven, between Leuven Station and Heverlee. This busy route, characterized by dense city traffic and its connection to a major transport hub, reflects typical Belgian urban conditions. Public road testing is expected in mid-September, with a safety officer onboard during the first phase.

Pending successful testing and regulatory approval from the Public Department of Mobility and Transport, a pilot autonomous shuttle service will be operated by De Lijn along the same route. This pilot is scheduled to begin in mid-November and run through end-January 2026 — marking Belgium’s first commercial deployment of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in mixed and complex traffic. Passengers will be allowed to board using a digital ticket via app, SMS, or their subscription.

Following the trial period, the shuttles are expected to enter regular service in Leuven, marking a national milestone in the application of autonomous public transport. The service aims to improve first- and last-mile connectivity while seamlessly integrating AVs into Leuven’s transit network. Looking ahead, the goal is to achieve fully driverless operations, further enhancing safety and efficiency in urban mobility.

“Entering Belgium is a strategic step in WeRide’s growth. Europe is a key AV market with strong public investment and clear commercialization paths, with Belgium standing out as a mobility-focused innovation hub. We’re pleased to partner with De Lijn, Espaces-Mobilités, and the City of Leuven, which have shown strong support for autonomous mobility, as we work to scale autonomous driving services across Europe, with the goal of achieving fully driverless operations,” said Jennifer Li, CFO and Head of International at WeRide.

“With this first project, we are tapping into the potential of AVs to improve road safety, reduce traffic congestion, and ease parking pressure. Outside city centers, they can also provide ‘last mile’ connections and reliable transport to rural areas and for people with limited mobility,” said Annick De Ridder, Flemish Minister of Mobility, Public Works, Ports, and Sports.

“With this pilot project, we are taking an important step toward the future of public transport in Flanders. Autonomous shuttles are no longer science fiction, but a concrete solution we are testing with our partners in Leuven. We are using this technology to create safer, more efficient, and more accessible shared mobility. In the future, we can use this technology to attract many more passengers by expanding public transport in an attractive and efficient way,” said Ann Schoubs, CEO of De Lijn.

“Autonomous mobility promises to be the biggest revolution in transport since the combustion engine. If that’s the case, it’s essential that our regions and the public sector prepare for this transformation. The program we are implementing in Belgium, in collaboration with various regions and transport operators, is the best way to learn together and develop a coherent public policy to improve mobility and avoid reinforcing individual car use,” said Xavier Tackoen, Partner at Espaces-Mobilités.

In preparation for the launch in Leuven, De Lijn and Espaces-Mobilités completed a year-long training program on autonomous mobility, which included technical workshops and a study tour to WeRide’s Guangzhou office. The tour provided hands-on experience with WeRide’s existing Robobus operations and best practices for integrating AVs into public transport.

The pilot is supported by EIT Urban Mobility, an EU body that accelerates the transition to sustainable mobility, highlighting strong public-private sector collaboration.

Belgium has prioritized advancing autonomous mobility through smart urban planning, investment in smart mobility solutions, and supportive regulations. Reflecting this, Leuven — Belgium’s oldest university city situated 30 kilometers east of Brussels and well-connected to major Belgian cities and transport hubs — was selected as the strategic pilot site for deployment. Local initiatives like FlexCURB, which optimizes curbside space with digital tools, further enable safe last-mile operations and smooth AV integration into the wider transport network.

Beyond Belgium, WeRide is rapidly expanding across Europe. Last month, the company launched its first Robotaxis in Furttal, Switzerland, under the “iamo” (Intelligent Automated Mobility) pilot with Swiss Transit Lab, SBB CFF FFS, and the cantons of Zurich and Aargau. Earlier this year, WeRide launched Europe’s first fully driverless commercial Robobus service in Valence, France, in partnership with beti, Renault Group, and Macif.

About WeRide

XerpaAI Partners with Sherpa Guides to Support Historic Autumn Everest Summit Attempt

XerpaAI

TOKYO, Sept. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — XerpaAI, the world’s first AI Growth Agent (AGA), is proud to announce its sponsorship and partnership with legendary Sherpa guides for a historic climb of Mount Everest during this autumn season — a feat that has proven to be one of the most formidable challenges in modern mountaineering.

A Historic Challenge

Climbing Everest in autumn is notoriously brutal. Over the past 30 years, there have been 43 attempts but only 9 successful summits. In the last 15 years alone, 12 expeditions failed, with the most recent autumn summit achieved back in 2010.

This season, for the first time, Sherpa guides will be supported with enhanced resources, renewing hopes of breaking the 15-year drought and setting new records in high-altitude climbing.

Why XerpaAI?

XerpaAI is built on UXLINK — the world’s largest Web3 social infrastructure — and powered by state-of-the-art artificial intelligence technology. With its mission to “Speed Up Your Growth,” XerpaAI redefines how emerging projects achieve scale, resilience, and long-term success.

Just as Sherpas guide climbers safely to the top of Everest, XerpaAI acts as the AI Sherpa for growth — enabling projects to navigate the challenges of Web3 and reach new heights of adoption and impact.

A New Chapter of Growth

“This collaboration with Sherpa guides is more than a sponsorship — it’s a powerful metaphor for what XerpaAI stands for,” said the XerpaAI team. “We lead innovators through the toughest challenges, ensuring they don’t just attempt the climb but reach the summit. As the first AI Growth Agent, XerpaAI is here to make history.”

Follow XerpaAI for live updates from the Himalayas and insights into how AI and Web3 social infrastructure together can reshape the future of growth.

Climb with XerpaAI — like a Sherpa guiding you to the summit.

MUNICH, Sept. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — XPENG, a leading China-based high-tech company, unveiled its latest achievements in leading the future of AI mobility today at IAA Mobility 2025. The European debut of the Next P7 showcases the company’s strengths in AI technology, intelligent driving systems, and high-performance engineering, while reflecting its expanding global footprint. Alongside this, XPENG will officially open its Munich R&D Center in September — its first in Europe — to innovate future AI mobility and engage closely with European users.

XPENG’s presence at IAA Mobility reflects this ambitious mission. Whereas in the past vehicles were mainly mechanical, XPENG is built with AI in its DNA. This unique foundation defines its role as an explorer of future mobility: to create technology that transforms how millions of people live and move, through AI-powered vehicles, humanoid robots, and even flying cars.

“With the Next P7, we are demonstrating to users around the world how AI can transform the car into a warm, intelligent companion,” said Mr. He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of XPENG. “It demonstrates our full-stack, self-developed AI capabilities. XPENG doesn’t just build cars, we are creating smart and sustainable mobility experiences for global users. The new Munich R&D center demonstrates our strong commitment to creating these experiences together with Europe, deepening partnerships, driving local innovation, and serving European users with cutting-edge mobility solutions.”

Deepening Roots in Europe

The European market plays an important role in XPENG’s efforts to accelerate its global growth, and the company is making significant investments in the market. XPENG will open its first European research center in Munich in September. As its ninth global R&D hub — joining Silicon Valley and San Diego — the Munich center will enable XPENG to get closer to European users and ensure their needs are reflected in its future mobility innovations.

XPENG’s performance in European markets reflects its growing influence and recognition. The company leads mid-to-high-end BEV sales among Chinese brands, and its reputation among European users continues to rise. According to the latest survey published in July 2025 by German market research firm USCALE, XPENG is the first Chinese car brand to top its Net Promoter Score (NPS). Its NPS of 81% far exceeds the industry average – demonstrating strong customer loyalty and recognition in the DACH markets.

Driving the Future of Mobility with Full-Stack AI

At the core of XPENG’s strategy is its self-developed AI system, which underpins every dimension of the company’s mobility ecosystem—from AI cars and flying vehicles to humanoid robots.

XPENG’s AI architecture integrates cloud, vehicle, computing power, and hardware. These capabilities are supported by highly integrated central computing and zonal control architecture, enabling deep hardware-software synergy throughout the vehicle.

Powered by these breakthroughs, XPENG is advancing toward mass-producing L4 autonomous driving vehicles by 2026 and launching Robotaxi trials in China. Its NGP smart driving system has also started global adaptation, with the goal of offering top-class smart driving experiences to users by the fourth quarter of 2026.

Full-Stack Self-Developed AI System

Offering a Complete AI-Driven Mobility Ecosystem

XPENG’s vision for AI-powered mobility is reflected in its diverse product portfolio, which takes center stage at IAA Munich 2025. Visitors to the booth can experience five models, including the New G6 and G9 SUVs, the X9 MPV, and the P7+ — the world’s first AI-defined vehicle, which is set to launch in Europe soon.

The highlight of the lineup is the Next P7, a groundbreaking sports sedan that combines original and futuristic design, supercar-level performance, and unmatched endurance. Under the hood, it delivers 593 PS, accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, and reaches 230 km/h. It also set a new benchmark for EV durability, covering 3,961 km in 24 hours—an endurance record for mass-produced electric vehicles.

The Next P7 Ultimate Performance

XPENG is also redefining the skies. Its flying car subsidiary, XPENG AEROHT, has dedicated 12 years to R&D and iterated seven generations of prototypes. This October, its “Land Aircraft Carrier” — the world’s first modular flying car — will make its maiden international flight in Dubai. With 5,000 pre-orders, its mass production is expected by late 2026, potentially positioning AEROHT as the world’s largest flying vehicle company.

Beyond cars and flying vehicles, XPENG has been extending AI mobility into robotics. Its revolutionary humanoid robot, IRON — developed over five years and through six generations — is now undergoing training in factory settings and is expected to enter mass production in 2026. Meanwhile, the company’s next-generation humanoid robot is set to launch in the fourth quarter this year.
