Nineteen-year-old founder builds a digital marketing agency and a local news platform while seeking strategic partnerships to accelerate innovation and business growth across Thailand.
Thailand, 29th Jul 2026 – Young entrepreneur Emin Can Yoldaş is expanding his footprint in Thailand’s digital economy through the continued growth of his digital marketing agency, LatestVisual, and the recent launch of Thailand Paper, an independent local news platform designed to deliver timely news and community-focused reporting. At just 19 years old, the Turkish entrepreneur is pursuing an ambitious vision of combining digital innovation, media, and marketing services while creating long-term opportunities for businesses operating in Thailand.
Living and working in Thailand, Yoldaş has focused on building businesses that address the growing demand for professional digital solutions and reliable online media. His entrepreneurial journey reflects the increasing number of young founders who are leveraging international experience and technology to create businesses with both local relevance and global aspirations.
Building a Digital Marketing Agency for Business Growth
LatestVisual was established to help businesses strengthen their online presence through modern digital marketing strategies. The agency provides a broad range of services, including search engine optimisation (SEO), content marketing, web development, branding, and customised digital growth strategies designed to improve visibility and generate sustainable business results.
By working with companies seeking to expand their digital reach, LatestVisual aims to deliver practical marketing solutions tailored to each client’s objectives. As businesses continue investing in digital transformation, the agency focuses on combining creative branding with data-driven marketing approaches that help organisations compete in an increasingly competitive online marketplace.
Yoldaş believes that strong digital foundations enable businesses of all sizes to reach wider audiences, build stronger customer relationships, and create lasting brand value.
Launching Thailand Paper With a Long-Term Vision
Alongside his marketing agency, Yoldaş recently launched Thailand Paper, a local news website dedicated to covering developments across Thailand. The platform was created to provide accessible reporting while supporting a growing demand for independent digital news sources serving local communities and international readers interested in Thailand.
Thailand Paper represents a significant milestone in Yoldaş’s entrepreneurial journey. Rather than simply creating another online publication, he envisions developing the platform into one of Thailand’s leading independent news websites by continually expanding its editorial coverage, strengthening its digital presence, and investing in sustainable media growth.
The platform is expected to cover a broad range of topics relevant to readers throughout Thailand while adapting to changing digital media consumption habits.
International Ambitions Drive Continued Expansion
As a Turkish entrepreneur building businesses abroad, Yoldaş sees Thailand as a dynamic environment for innovation, entrepreneurship, and digital development. His international perspective has helped shape both LatestVisual and Thailand Paper, with each business serving different but complementary roles within the country’s growing digital landscape.
His long-term objective is to continue expanding both companies while exploring new opportunities within digital media, technology, and business development. By combining marketing expertise with media publishing, he aims to create an ecosystem that supports business growth while contributing to Thailand’s evolving digital economy.
The launch of Thailand Paper also reflects a broader trend of entrepreneurs investing in independent digital publishing platforms capable of serving increasingly connected audiences through accessible online journalism.
Entrepreneurial Spirit Extends Beyond Business
In addition to his entrepreneurial activities, Yoldaş participates in Thailand’s amateur motorcycle racing community as a Big Bike Supersport racer. His involvement in motorsports demonstrates the same determination, discipline, and competitive mindset that he applies to building businesses.
Balancing entrepreneurship with racing has reinforced qualities such as focus, resilience, and continuous improvement—characteristics that have become central to his professional development as he pursues ambitious business goals at a young age.
Seeking Strategic Partnerships for Future Growth
As both businesses continue to develop, Yoldaş is actively seeking investors, strategic partners, and business collaborations to help accelerate the expansion of Thailand Paper and LatestVisual.
He welcomes opportunities to work with organisations, investors, media professionals, and businesses interested in supporting innovative digital projects, expanding independent media initiatives, and developing new marketing solutions for companies operating in Thailand and beyond.
With ambitious plans for continued growth, Yoldaş remains committed to building sustainable businesses that combine innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship while creating value for clients, readers, and future partners.

“In a rapidly maturing digital asset market, relying on fragmented risk data is a critical vulnerability. Building a resilient ecosystem demands institutional-grade intelligence.”
MEXC, the world’s fastest-growing digital asset exchange and a pioneer of true zero-fee trading, has today announced a collaboration with LSEG Risk Intelligence.This partnership enables the integration of World-Check, equipping the platform with the same risk intelligence database used by financial institutions globally, setting a new benchmark for proactive security in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Deploying an Institutional Grade Risk Architecture
As institutional and retail adoption of digital assets accelerates, uncompromising security measures have become a critical operational imperative. By adopting LSEG World-Check, MEXC is fusing the rigorous compliance frameworks of traditional finance with the agility of the digital economy.

Korean startup Zeroto100 INC. unveils matchfac eco — a data-driven platform that matches manufacturers with low-carbon Vietnamese factories and automates ISO 14067-based carbon footprint reporting.
Daejeon, South Korea, 29th Jul 2026 — Zeroto100 INC., a South Korean green-tech startup led by CEO Heejin Jung, has officially launched matchfac eco, a B2B SaaS platform that connects export-oriented businesses with low-carbon Vietnamese manufacturers and automates product carbon footprint (PCF) calculation in line with ISO 14067 standards.
The platform directly addresses a growing challenge for small and mid-sized exporters: as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and South Korea’s mandatory ESG disclosure requirements take effect, companies are increasingly required to prove the carbon footprint of goods produced by overseas partner factories — data that most manufacturers in developing countries have never systematically collected.
“The factory selection process has always been driven by price and lead time. No one was measuring carbon,” said Heejin Jung, CEO of Zeroto100 INC. “We built matchfac eco to change that — so that choosing the most cost-efficient factory naturally becomes the same decision as choosing the lowest-carbon factory.”
From Factory Floor Data to Carbon Reports — Automatically
matchfac eco is built on a proprietary energy efficiency database compiled from 30+ Vietnamese partner factories across key manufacturing categories including injection molding, garment production, metal fabrication, and eco-packaging. Factory-level data — including electricity consumption (kWh), equipment efficiency ratings, and renewable energy usage — was collected through direct on-site visits and ongoing partner relationships, not aggregated from secondary sources.
When a buyer inputs product specifications and production conditions, the platform automatically maps this activity data against standardized emission factors (covering Vietnam-Korea grid coefficients, material-level carbon indices, and logistics-mode emission rates) and calculates a PCF value in real time. The entire process follows the ISO 14067 methodology and GHG Protocol standards, producing results that are directly usable for CBAM declarations and ESG supply chain disclosures.
Traditional lifecycle assessment (LCA) typically requires months of specialist consulting and significant cost — making it inaccessible for most SMEs. matchfac eco’s lightweight PCF engine delivers equivalent outputs instantly, with no carbon expertise required on the buyer’s side.
Four Core Capabilities
Low-Carbon Factory Matching — AI-powered recommendations rank partner factories by carbon efficiency, not just price and lead time, enabling buyers to make environmentally informed sourcing decisions from the first step.
Automated PCF Calculation — Real-time Scope 2 (manufacturing electricity) and partial Scope 3 (logistics) carbon footprint calculation, mapped to international emission factor databases and tailored to Vietnam-Korea cross-border production.
Integrated Production Dashboard — A single interface manages the full manufacturing lifecycle: prototype, mass production, quality inspection, and logistics — with carbon data updating automatically at each stage.
Global Compliance Guide — Built-in CBAM and ESG regulatory tracking, with auto-generated carbon report drafts ready for submission to EU customs authorities or ESG disclosure frameworks.
Why Vietnam, Why Now
Vietnam has become a primary manufacturing hub for Korean exporters, yet the country’s factory energy data remains largely opaque. Zeroto100 INC. has spent years building direct relationships with Vietnamese manufacturers — verifying production capacity, quality systems, and energy usage on the ground. This foundation gives matchfac eco a data advantage that cannot be replicated from public databases alone.
“The data doesn’t come from a desk. It comes from the factory floor,” said Jung. “That’s what makes our carbon figures credible and immediately actionable.”
Company Background
Zeroto100 INC. was founded by Heejin Jung, who holds a degree in Living Design from Konkuk University and brings nine years of product design and overseas manufacturing experience, including roles at Aseong Daiso and a track record of 36+ completed OEM/ODM projects across Vietnam, China, and Korea. The company holds a registered system patent for its manufacturing project management system and has been selected for the 2026 Korea Green Youth Entrepreneurship Spring Camp, supported by the Korea Environment Industry & Technology Institute (KEITI) under the Ministry of Climate and Environment.
matchfac eco is currently accepting beta partner factory registrations and early-access enterprise inquiries.

Partners who join DG Partners get referral tracking, dedicated account support, and the lifetime revenue share structure from day one. DID Global said the program is aimed at partners already active in telecom, fintech, iGaming, and related referral networks, where demand for reliable cross-border telephony and virtual number coverage continues to grow.

Ignite Publishing today announced the upcoming release of Ignite Humanity: Everyday People Making Extraordinary Impact, a twenty-seven author anthology launching July 31st, the newest title from the team behind the international bestselling Ignite compilation series.
Canada, 29th Jul 2026— Ignite Publishing today announced the July 31 release of Ignite Humanity: Everyday People Making Extraordinary Impact, a new compilation book from the team behind the international bestselling Ignite series. The book is written by Lady JB Owen, founder and CEO of Ignite Publishing, alongside twenty-six additional authors, and includes a foreword by Jim Poole, CEO of NuCalm.
The book centers on the premise that meaningful change is not reserved for the famous or the powerful. Its title, Ignite Humanity: Everyday People Making Extraordinary Impact, reflects its central idea: that ordinary individuals, through a single decision or turning point in their lives, are capable of shifting the course of their own story and, in turn, the lives of others around them. Each chapter is built around the belief that no two stories are the same, yet every story shares a common thread: the human capacity to rise, to give, and to connect across difference.
Each of the twenty-seven contributors shares a personal account of a defining turning point in their life, referred to within the Ignite series as an Ignite Moment. Every author’s story is paired with a companion profile of a historical figure whose life reflects a similar experience, selected by that author. The historical figures featured span more than two thousand years, from the philosopher Socrates in ancient Greece and the thirteenth-century poet Rumi, to twentieth-century figures including Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, and Maria Montessori, alongside individuals whose contributions to science, education, and the arts are documented but not widely known.
“Every single person on this planet has a story, and every story has the power to impact humanity,” said Lady JB Owen. “Our stories do not define us. They refine us. They make us human. And sharing that story may be the very thing that helps someone else discover the same. That is what this book is. Twenty-six examples that one person, choosing to show up, can change everything for everyone.”
About Lady JB Owen and Ignite Publishing
Owen founded Ignite Publishing on a simple belief: that every human being carries a story, and that story, once shared, has the power to change lives globally. At the heart of every Ignite book is the Ignite Moment, the single pivotal instant that changes the direction of a person’s life. Every author goes through the company’s own training and coaching process, learning how to find that exact moment and how to tell it as the hero of their story rather than the victim of it.
“We don’t teach people to relive their pain,” said Owen. “We teach them to recognize the moment they rose out of it. That is the version of the story that actually helps someone else rise too. My mission has never been about me. It is about waking people up to what they are capable of, and reminding every person watching or reading that they already carry what the world is waiting for.”
Under her leadership, Ignite Publishing has grown into an international compilation series, publishing more than 800 authors from 47 countries across 27 books to date. Owen also hosts Ignite Humanity Live, a program featuring conversations with leaders and public figures about personal impact and service to others.
About Jim Poole and the Foreword
Ignite Humanity: Everyday People Making Extraordinary Impact features a foreword written by Jim Poole, CEO of NuCalm, a company focused on neuroscience-based technology for stress reduction and nervous system regulation. Poole has spent more than a decade working in the field of human physiology and stress response, and also contributes a personal chapter to the book alongside the other twenty-six authors.
Author List
The twenty-six featured authors are: Allison Prince, Andi Buerger, Barbie Layton, Bobbi Smith, Brigitta Hoeferle, Brittni Fiddler, Butta B Rocka, Carol Daly, Dame Doria Cordova, Debra Atkinson, Diana von Welanetz Wentworth, Farrah Smith, Husam, Jackie Graves, Janie Jurkovich, Jeff Pappas, Jenny Salimi, Jim Poole, Katie Allen, Kyla Rawlins, LaShawn Merritt, Margie Breault, Nicole Mixdorf, Randy Dyck, Sarah Gallop, and Sri Mummaneni.
Together with Lady JB Owen, these twenty-seven voices span multiple countries and industries, including business, medicine, sports, entertainment, healing arts, philanthropy, and advocacy. Their stories cover loss, reinvention, faith, forgiveness, service, and the quiet daily choices that build a meaningful life. Each contributor wrote their chapter with the stated intention of using their personal experience to offer guidance, encouragement, or perspective to readers navigating similar circumstances.
About the Ignite Moment Framework
Each Ignite Publishing book is organized around what the company calls an Ignite Moment: a specific, identifiable turning point in an author’s life. Authors go through Ignite Publishing’s internal writing and coaching process to identify this moment and structure their chapter around it, alongside a historical figure selected to accompany their story. The pairing structure, in which each personal story is followed by a profile of a historical figure with a parallel life experience, is used throughout the Ignite compilation series.
Inspiration Classrooms Initiative
Ignite Humanity: Everyday People Making Extraordinary Impactis released alongside Ignite Publishing’s ongoing Inspiration Classrooms initiative, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit program focused on providing sustainable, eco-friendly learning environments for children in underserved communities and incorporating the same story-based framework used throughout the Ignite series into early childhood education. To date, the initiative has funded the construction of two schools, built using environmentally sustainable materials and designed to serve as long-term community learning spaces. The curriculum used within these classrooms includes storytelling components drawn from the Ignite Moment framework, intended to help children recognize resilience, compassion, and problem-solving within stories from history as well as their own lives.
