Downloadable ARM64 and x86_64 Linux packages will include 7-day per-device trials, individual and fleet licensing, account portal, support desk, and measured benchmark results across Llama 8B, ResNet-152, and edge AI workloads.

Australia, 9th Jul 2026 NeuraFrame Studio today announced the launch of NeuraFrame Studio, a local AI operating frame designed to help AI systems preserve verified work, corrections, context, and route state so repeated model work does not have to be recomputed.

The launch will include downloadable Linux packages for ARM64 and x86_64 systems, supporting both individual local AI users and larger fleet deployments. Each device will receive a 7-day free trial. Paid licensing will be available per device, with monthly, annual, and fleet options. Fleet customers will be able to manage multiple devices through an organization account, seat pool, enrollment token, and account portal designed for multi-device installation and management.

“Prompting gets a response. Teaching changes the future response,” said Shawn Taylor, founder of NeuraFrame Studio. “NeuraFrame Studio is built around that idea. Models are powerful, but they should not have to rediscover the same answer, reprocess the same context, or rerun the same workflow every time. NeuraFrame gives local and edge AI systems a way to preserve verified work and use expensive model calls only when needed.”

NeuraFrame Studio is designed to work around existing models and workflows rather than replace them. The product can operate as a local API layer or a drop-in gateway in front of compatible model services, allowing existing applications to route through NeuraFrame while preserving normal model behavior. If a license expires, NeuraFrame enters pass-through mode. The underlying model can still answer directly, while NeuraFrame reuse, routing, memory, and workflow-saving features are disabled until renewal.

The launch also includes an account portal for device management, billing handoff, support tickets, and license status. Individual users can activate devices, refresh licenses, and manage billing. Fleet users can create an organization, purchase multiple seats, copy or regenerate an enrollment token, and enroll devices into a shared seat pool. Install paths include direct package installation, token-based enrollment, one-line bootstrap installation, and fleet tooling for scripted or administrator-led deployments.

Internal benchmark results measured on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin showed significant reductions in repeated model work across real edge AI workloads. A ResNet-152 recurrence benchmark avoided up to 90% of heavy GPU calls at 10x recurrence with 100% agreement against the traditional always-run baseline. A Llama 3.1 8B quantized exact-recurrence benchmark reduced heavy LLM calls from 100 to 10 at 10x recurrence, lowering runtime from 524.9 seconds to 52.3 seconds with 100% agreement.

A same-document, different-questions workload showed that repeated long-context processing can also be reduced when the model call is still required. With gated document routing, prompt-token load fell 87.1% while factual accuracy and semantic agreement both remained at 100%. A measured Llama 8B power test at 5x recurrence reduced total board energy from 1,577.6 joules to 316.7 joules, a 79.9% reduction.

NeuraFrame Studio also measured a comparison against ordinary prefix caching. Prefix caching reduced prefill work, but still called the model and decoded every request. NeuraFrame avoided repeated calls themselves, using about one-fifth the energy of the prefix-cache arm for the same delivered-answer workload.

Additional tests showed semantic reuse beyond exact text matching, taught-fact composition with correction, agent-loop reuse with partial invalidation, near-duplicate vision reuse, and measured storage overhead. The reuse runtime added 16 MB resident RAM beside a 6.2 GB Llama 8B model server, about 0.26% on top of the model.

NeuraFrame Studio is intended for local AI, edge AI, server AI, industrial systems, repeated document workflows, agent workflows, robotics, inspection systems, and fleet deployments where repeated model work creates measurable cost.

The Third Cast: Misaki Kuno, Ayaka Asai, and Mayumi Shintani! Character Details and Cast Comments Revealed!

The information for the third cast and characters are announced; Misaki Kuno will voice Sorghaghtani, the intelligent primary consort of the Fourth Prince, Tolui. Ayaka Asai will voice Moge, the fourth consort of the Mongol Emperor Ogedei. Mayumi Shintani will voice Kirgistani, the third consort of the Mongol Emperor Ogedei.

Sorghaghtani (CV: Misaki Kuno) 
Tolui’s wife. She believes that “the world is wider than the steppe,” and is searching for “Elements,” a text containing knowledge from the West. She also possesses great insight, recognizing the danger that comes with imbalances in military strength and authority.

Moge (CV: Ayaka Asai) 
Ogedei’s fourth wife, who deeply adores Boraqchin. While she proclaims that she “isn’t very smart,” she has an innocent and honest personality.

Kirgistani (CV: Mayumi Shintani) 
Ogedei’s third wife. Incredibly emotional, she is very sweet towards Ogedei but makes no effort to hide her feelings of rivalry towards the other wives. Her drastic mood swings often lead her to lose composure and cause a scene when something goes awry.

 Boraqchin 

Ogedei’s first wife and Empress (the Great Khatun). Always calm, composed, and dignified, she is a woman of unfathomable depth. Believing that “in politics, it is crucial to pull strings beneath the surface,” she secretly devises strategies, deeply concerned about the empire’s future and the imbalance of power.

Overview

Story 

A young girl and an empress.
Bound by a shared desire for revenge, the two will shake the mightiest empire the world has ever known.

After losing her mother and being torn far from her homeland, a young girl named Sitara is taken in by Fatima, a kind-hearted lady from a family of scholars.
“If you study and become wise, no matter what trouble befalls you, you’ll know the best way forward.”

Deeply moved by the words of Fatima’s son, Muhammad, Sitara comes to understand the possibilities and importance of knowledge and begins to deepen her education. 
She dreams that one day, she might catch up with Muhammad, who has set off on a journey in pursuit of wisdom…

Meanwhile, under the reign of Emperor Genghis Khan, the mighty Mongol Empire continues its unstoppable march, conquering nation after nation and expanding its influence across the world. Before long, the tides of history reach the city where Sitara lives.

After losing everything to Tolui, the empire’s Fourth Prince, and being taken captive, Sitara resolves to use the only thing she has left, her intellect, to infiltrate the royal court and bring down the empire from within.

Though a flame of revenge burns within her heart, Sitara outwardly devotes herself to serving the empire. One day, she has a fateful encounter with Toregene, the sixth wife of the Third Prince, Ogedei. Haunted by a tragic past of her own, Toregene too carries a deep hatred for the empire within her heart.

Sitara and Toregene, two women who were never meant to meet. The moment they join hands, the wheels of fate begin to turn.

Randvaal Meyerton, Gauteng, South Africa, 9th Jul 2026Coffee Journal, an independent South African specialty coffee publication, has published a new feature examining the Fabiani Cafe charity pop up at Sandton City in Johannesburg. The article documents how the temporary cafe combines retail, coffee culture and community impact, with proceeds directed to SOZO Foundation and FoodForward SA while the activation runs from June 30 through July 13, 2026.

The newly published Fabiani Cafe charity pop up at Sandton City article reports that the concept brings a full cafe experience into one of Johannesburg’s best-known retail destinations while centering a charitable model rather than a standard commercial rollout. According to Coffee Journal’s on-site coverage, the space serves an exclusive Fabiani Signature Blend roasted by Cedar Coffee Roasters, features food collaborations for the Sandton edition, and channels all revenue from coffee, merchandise and related sales toward partner organizations focused on youth opportunity and food security.

Coffee Journal’s reporting notes that the activation is staffed by graduates of the SOZO Foundation barista training program, giving young South Africans an opportunity to work in a live, high-traffic retail environment. That emphasis on employability aligns with SOZO Foundation’s stated mission of creating pathways to youth employment through education, skills training, entrepreneurship and social enterprise. By connecting a public-facing cafe operation to practical barista experience, the story highlights how coffee can serve as a working platform for skills development as well as hospitality.

The feature also places the cafe within a broader community-impact context by documenting Fabiani’s partnership with FoodForward SA. Coffee Journal reports that the initiative links everyday purchases to support for a food redistribution network that serves vulnerable communities across South Africa. External event coverage cited in the article frames the Sandton City run within Mandela Month and describes the activation as a corporate social investment effort built around opportunity, employment pathways and community resilience rather than a conventional product promotion.

In addition to the social-impact angle, the article gives readers a close look at the hospitality and coffee details shaping the experience on site. Coffee Journal describes the Fabiani Signature Blend as an exclusive collaboration with Cedar Coffee Roasters and notes that the Sandton edition includes handcrafted panzerotti from Chef Corvin Pietersen of Broodkop and artisanal pastries from Sofia El Baz of Daily Indulgence. The feature also records that the Sandton activation follows a previous Fabiani Cafe edition at the V&A Waterfront in 2025, suggesting the concept is evolving from a short-lived activation into a repeatable format with recognizable design and charitable intent.

For Coffee Journal, the story also reflects the editorial direction of a South African specialty coffee publication launched in 2026 to document roasters, brewing, water quality and coffee culture across the country. The publisher’s coverage aims to connect product, place and people in ways that are useful to both coffee enthusiasts and industry observers. By pairing first-hand reporting with specific sourcing, the Fabiani feature expands that mission into lifestyle retail and community-driven hospitality, showing how coffee storytelling can sit at the intersection of design, training, local food collaboration and public-interest impact.

Readers who discover the article through syndication can continue into Coffee Journal’s broader editorial ecosystem through the site’s Johannesburg coffee roasters guide and national SA roasters directory, both of which extend the article’s relevance beyond a single activation and into ongoing discovery of South African coffee businesses. The release supports awareness for the published feature while giving media outlets, search audiences and coffee readers a timely entry point into a wider body of South African specialty coffee coverage.

Coffee Journal said the article is intended to document a moment where hospitality, philanthropy and specialty coffee intersect in a visible Johannesburg setting. With the Fabiani Cafe pop up operating for a limited period, the feature provides timely context for readers following local coffee culture, retail activations and socially oriented brand collaborations in South Africa.

  • Communications professional Prewett Asher of Dallas, Texas, says the strongest leaders won’t be the first to respond. They’ll be the ones who communicate with clarity, consistency, and purpose.

Texas, USA, Jul 09, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE  Every major decision today is met with immediate public reaction. For communications professional Prewett Asher, that growing pressure has created a new leadership challenge: knowing when to speak quickly and when to take the time to communicate well.

Drawing on experience in the federal government, the U.S. House of Representatives, and broadcast news, Asher believes one of the biggest communication mistakes organizations will make in 2027 is confusing speed with leadership.

“People often assume the fastest response is the strongest one,” Asher says. “In reality, speed without clarity can create confusion, damage trust, and make a difficult situation even harder to manage.”

Throughout his career, Asher has worked in roles where every public statement carried weight. At the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, he helped prepare briefing materials and managed correspondence between Congress and federal agencies. As Communications Director in the U.S. House of Representatives, he developed messaging strategies, prepared members for national media appearances, and handled communications during high-pressure situations. He later expanded into broadcast journalism as a Junior Producer at News Corp, producing daily news segments from concept to air.

Those experiences taught him that effective communication starts long before a public statement is released.

“You have to understand the situation before you try to shape the conversation,” Asher says. “People deserve information they can trust, especially when the stakes are high.”

According to the 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer, 68% of people worry that business leaders, government leaders, and journalists are intentionally trying to mislead the public by saying things they know are false or exaggerated. Asher believes that growing skepticism means organizations have to earn trust through consistent actions, not just well-written statements.

“Trust isn’t built during a crisis,” he says. “It’s built every day through honest communication and consistent leadership. When difficult moments arrive, people already know whether they believe you.”

Looking ahead, Asher expects organizations to face increasing pressure to respond faster as information spreads almost instantly. While speed will always matter, he believes preparation will matter even more.

“The best communicators aren’t the ones who react first,” he says. “They’re the ones who have already built a foundation of credibility. That allows people to focus on the message instead of questioning the motive.”

He encourages leaders across government, business, and nonprofit organizations to review their communication strategies before the next major challenge arises.

“Every organization will face difficult conversations,” Asher says. “The question is whether you’ve built enough trust before that moment comes.”

Kazakhstan ranked 24th in the KidsRights Index 2026, becoming the only country from Eastern Europe and Central Asia to enter the global top 25 and outpacing its Central Asian neighbors in the annual ranking of children’s rights.

The index was released on June 24 by KidsRights, an Amsterdam-based international children’s rights organization, in cooperation with Erasmus University Rotterdam. It measures children’s rights in 194 countries.

The leader in the index is Luxembourg, followed by Iceland and Monaco. Germany, Norway, Denmark, Greece, Belgium, Slovenia and Austria round up the top 10 in the list.

Kazakhstan posted an overall score of 0.797 in the index. Its highest marks came in child protection at 0.944, and health at 0.900. The country also scored 0.847 in the life category, 0.765 in education and 0.583 in the enabling environment for children’s rights.

The report points to a worldwide deterioration in the protection of children’s rights, citing factors such as escalating armed conflicts, a sharp increase in conflict-related sexual violence against children and the spread of childhood obesity. It also highlights slow progress and, in some cases, setbacks in the implementation of children’s rights.

Just five countries moved up in this year’s index, while 31 dropped to lower-performing groups. The number of countries in the highest-performing category also fell by 30% from 2025.

“Children are increasingly exposed to risks they did not create and cannot control,” said Marc Dullaert, founder and chairman of KidsRights. “Whether children are growing up in the shadow of war or in environments that undermine their health, the result is the same: their rights, wellbeing and future opportunities are being put at risk. The world is failing to provide children with the protection they are entitled to.”

Children in Armed Conflicts

The report also warns of the growing toll that armed conflict is taking on children worldwide. Conflict-related sexual violence against children rose by 35% since 2024.

The report says more than one in five children globally are directly affected by armed conflict, while explosive weapons account for 69% of child casualties in war zones.

Obesity as Global Epidemic

The report points to childhood obesity as a global epidemic impacting children in every part of the world. It notes that for the first time in history, obesity among children and adolescents aged 5 to 19 surpasses underweight globally.

Overweight and obesity, which were once seen mainly as challenges for high-income countries, are now rising across low- and middle-income nations, highlighting the global reach of the crisis. Latin America and the Caribbean, along with the Middle East and North Africa, report the highest prevalence.

Astana Finance Days (AFD), the flagship financial forum of the Astana International Financial Centre, has evolved into one of the region’s leading platform for capital markets, investment dialogue and cross-border cooperation. What began as an industry-focused event has grown into a strategic meeting point for investors, regulators, policymakers, financial institutions and businesses from Central Asia, the Caucasus and the broader Eurasian region.

The 9th edition of AFD will take place on 9-10 September, 2026, in Astana under the theme Delivering Impact: Capital in Action. The programme will focus on how capital is mobilized, structured and deployed across regional and global markets – from capital markets and investment products to regulation, innovation, real-economy financing and cross-border cooperation.

AFD 2026 is expected to convene over 5,000 participants from more than 80 countries, including global investors, asset managers, policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, technology companies, and industry leaders.

For international participants, the Forum offers direct access to one of the region’s most dynamic financial ecosystems and to a market increasingly positioned as a gateway between Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

From Dialogue to Deal Flow

What distinguishes AFD is not only its scale, but its function. The Forum is designed to move beyond high-level discussion and create the conditions for practical outcomes – from investment leads and strategic partnerships to market entry, institutional cooperation, and capital-raising opportunities.

In a region where connectivity is as much about trust as it is about infrastructure, AFD provides a neutral and internationally oriented platform where public-sector priorities, private-sector capabilities, and investor expectations can meet in one place.

A Track Record of Growth and Practical Outcomes

The 2025 edition brought together over 5,500 participants from 82 countries, including asset managers overseeing a combined total of $1.5 trillion. The programme featured 160 speakers, more than 40 business events, four new listings on the Astana International Exchange and the signing of seven agreements.

Inside the AFD 2026 Agenda

AFD 2026 will build on this momentum with a programme focused on practical solutions, investable opportunities and the future architecture of regional finance.

Key themes of AFD 2026 include capital markets and investment products; trust infrastructure: regulation, law, market confidence; innovation at institutional scale; financing the real economy; regional and cross-border capital cooperation.

Another defining element is the AFD Exhibition — a platform where participants will present their solutions and achievements. For companies, this represents an opportunity to strengthen market positioning and establish direct connections with strategic partners.

The forum is traditionally organised with the support of partners, including Gold Partner – Freedom; Silver Partners – Solidcore Resources and ITS, Bronze Partners – LMAX Group and Teniz Capital Investment Banking;  Fintech Partner – Mastercard;  Official Airline Partner – Air Astana, Partners – Orient Capital Management, Qanat Invest, Roemer Capital (Europe), Abylai Global Solutions, MYD Production and others.

Registration and the detailed programme will be available on the official website: https://astanafindays.org/en For partnership inquiries: afd@aifc.kz.

Investment Positions Nocera at the Intersection of the Global AI and Energy Infrastructure Build-Out, a Market Projected to Approach $7 Trillion by 2030

Nocera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCRA) (“Nocera” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire an equity interest in INERGX, an integrated energy storage and power platform being built to design, deploy and service mission-critical power and battery energy-storage systems supporting AI data centers, defense, industrial operations and critical infrastructure. Through this investment, Nocera is positioning itself at the intersection of one of the fastest-growing segments of the global AI infrastructure ecosystem, where reliable, scalable power has rapidly emerged as one of the defining constraints on next-generation artificial intelligence deployment.

The investment represents another significant milestone in Nocera’s ongoing transformation into Nocera Holdings, a diversified technology-focused holding company pursuing strategic opportunities across artificial intelligence, AI infrastructure, data centers, robotics, biotech, blockchain and digital assets. As hyperscale AI deployments continue to accelerate worldwide, management believes dependable power infrastructure has become one of the world’s most valuable strategic assets. Through this transaction, Nocera is establishing a position within the energy infrastructure underpinning the global AI build-out, positioning the Company at the convergence of two of today’s most compelling long-term growth markets: artificial intelligence and mission-critical energy infrastructure.

Nocera’s Role and Growth Strategy for INERGX

Nocera intends to serve as an active strategic partner to INERGX, leveraging the capital markets expertise, public-company experience, acquisition-sourcing capabilities and international relationships that sit at the core of the Nocera Holdings strategy. Management believes these capabilities can help accelerate INERGX’s buy-and-build strategy, broaden access to growth capital, strengthen strategic partnerships and support the commercialization and long-term expansion of its integrated platform across multiple high-growth end markets.

Specifically, Nocera expects to support INERGX by contributing capital markets and financing expertise to assist with platform expansion and future acquisitions; leveraging Nocera’s public-company infrastructure, governance and disclosure experience as INERGX continues to mature; utilizing its acquisition-sourcing network and international relationships to identify strategic opportunities; and providing operational and strategic guidance designed to help institutionalize the platform as it scales.

Management believes the INERGX investment represents the blueprint for the type of long-term value Nocera Holdings intends to create across its portfolio by identifying differentiated technology businesses positioned within powerful secular growth trends and helping accelerate their development through strategic capital, public-market expertise and disciplined execution. The Company believes combining emerging technology platforms with strategic capital allocation, operational support and public-market resources can create meaningful long-term shareholder value while expanding Nocera Holdings’ presence across multiple high-growth industries.

“Artificial intelligence cannot scale without power, and we believe energy infrastructure will become one of the defining investment themes of this decade,” said Andy Jin, Chief Executive Officer of Nocera. “INERGX represents exactly the type of platform our transformation into Nocera Holdings was designed to pursue. Our objective extends well beyond making an investment—we intend to help build a category-leading business by contributing our capital markets expertise, acquisition experience and public-company capabilities while supporting INERGX’s buy-and-build strategy. We believe this investment represents another important step in positioning Nocera at the center of the technologies enabling the next generation of AI, critical infrastructure and industrial innovation. At the same time, we continue to actively evaluate additional acquisitions, strategic investments and partnerships that align with our vision of building a diversified global technology holding company focused on creating long-term shareholder value.”

About the INERGX Platform

INERGX is being built to address one of the most pressing challenges facing organizations operating in increasingly power-constrained environments: the ability to design, build, deploy and manage mission-critical energy systems through a single integrated partner rather than relying on multiple point-solution providers. The platform is being developed as a vertically integrated, chemistry- and power-agnostic ecosystem that combines battery technology and intellectual property, system assembly, testing and certification, AI-driven battery management and monitoring software, recycling and repowering capabilities, with each component designed to reinforce the next while delivering a comprehensive end-to-end solution.

Unlike traditional equipment providers, INERGX’s commercial model is designed to create value well beyond the initial hardware sale. The platform is intended to use hardware deployments as the customer entry point while generating recurring revenue opportunities throughout each system’s lifecycle through optimization, monitoring, predictive maintenance, servicing, uninterrupted power solutions and periodic repowering. Management believes this lifecycle approach creates the potential for durable customer relationships and recurring revenue streams while positioning INERGX to capitalize on the rapidly growing demand for intelligent energy infrastructure.

INERGX is assembling this platform through an active buy-and-build acquisition strategy targeting complementary technologies, intellectual property and operating businesses across the energy value chain. The Company is focused on serving mission-critical end markets including AI and hyperscale data centers, industrial and mining operations, defense applications, renewable energy infrastructure and other sectors where reliable, intelligent power systems are becoming increasingly essential.

“The market no longer wants point solutions—it wants a trusted partner capable of designing, building, deploying and managing mission-critical power infrastructure from end to end,” said Dominic White, Founder of INERGX. “That is precisely the platform we are building. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries around the world, dependable energy infrastructure is becoming increasingly mission-critical. Nocera’s capital markets expertise, public-company experience and strategic growth capabilities make them an ideal long-term partner as we execute our acquisition strategy, expand our platform and pursue the significant opportunities emerging across AI infrastructure, defense and industrial energy markets.”

Market Backdrop

The investment comes as reliable power rapidly emerges as one of the defining constraints on the global expansion of artificial intelligence. Hyperscale AI deployments, accelerated data-center development and increasing electrification across industry are driving unprecedented investment in the energy infrastructure required to support next-generation computing workloads. As AI adoption continues to accelerate, management believes the ability to deliver resilient, scalable and intelligent power solutions will become increasingly valuable across both public and private sector markets.

According to McKinsey & Company, global AI infrastructure spending is projected to approach $7 trillion by 2030, with more than $5 trillion expected to be invested directly into AI workload infrastructure. Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency projects global data-center electricity demand will more than double to approximately 945 terawatt-hours by 2030—roughly equivalent to the entire annual electricity consumption of Japan. Management believes these powerful long-term trends are creating significant demand for intelligent, mission-critical power and battery energy-storage platforms such as INERGX, reinforcing the strategic rationale behind Nocera’s investment and its continued expansion into the infrastructure enabling the global AI economy.

Management believes the INERGX investment represents another meaningful step in Nocera’s ongoing evolution into Nocera Holdings. The Company continues to actively evaluate additional acquisitions, strategic partnerships and investments across artificial intelligence, AI infrastructure, data centers, robotics, biotechnology, blockchain, digital assets and other emerging technology sectors as it executes its long-term strategy of building a diversified global technology holding company.

Taipei, Taiwan, July 8th, 2026, FinanceWire

Investment Positions Nocera at the Intersection of the Global AI and Energy Infrastructure Build-Out, a Market Projected to Approach $7 Trillion by 2030

Nocera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCRA) (“Nocera” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire an equity interest in INERGX, an integrated energy storage and power platform being built to design, deploy and service mission-critical power and battery energy-storage systems supporting AI data centers, defense, industrial operations and critical infrastructure. Through this investment, Nocera is positioning itself at the intersection of one of the fastest-growing segments of the global AI infrastructure ecosystem, where reliable, scalable power has rapidly emerged as one of the defining constraints on next-generation artificial intelligence deployment.

The investment represents another significant milestone in Nocera’s ongoing transformation into Nocera Holdings, a diversified technology-focused holding company pursuing strategic opportunities across artificial intelligence, AI infrastructure, data centers, robotics, biotech, blockchain and digital assets. As hyperscale AI deployments continue to accelerate worldwide, management believes dependable power infrastructure has become one of the world’s most valuable strategic assets. Through this transaction, Nocera is establishing a position within the energy infrastructure underpinning the global AI build-out, positioning the Company at the convergence of two of today’s most compelling long-term growth markets: artificial intelligence and mission-critical energy infrastructure.

Nocera’s Role and Growth Strategy for INERGX

Nocera intends to serve as an active strategic partner to INERGX, leveraging the capital markets expertise, public-company experience, acquisition-sourcing capabilities and international relationships that sit at the core of the Nocera Holdings strategy. Management believes these capabilities can help accelerate INERGX’s buy-and-build strategy, broaden access to growth capital, strengthen strategic partnerships and support the commercialization and long-term expansion of its integrated platform across multiple high-growth end markets.

Specifically, Nocera expects to support INERGX by contributing capital markets and financing expertise to assist with platform expansion and future acquisitions; leveraging Nocera’s public-company infrastructure, governance and disclosure experience as INERGX continues to mature; utilizing its acquisition-sourcing network and international relationships to identify strategic opportunities; and providing operational and strategic guidance designed to help institutionalize the platform as it scales.

Management believes the INERGX investment represents the blueprint for the type of long-term value Nocera Holdings intends to create across its portfolio by identifying differentiated technology businesses positioned within powerful secular growth trends and helping accelerate their development through strategic capital, public-market expertise and disciplined execution. The Company believes combining emerging technology platforms with strategic capital allocation, operational support and public-market resources can create meaningful long-term shareholder value while expanding Nocera Holdings’ presence across multiple high-growth industries.

“Artificial intelligence cannot scale without power, and we believe energy infrastructure will become one of the defining investment themes of this decade,” said Andy Jin, Chief Executive Officer of Nocera. “INERGX represents exactly the type of platform our transformation into Nocera Holdings was designed to pursue. Our objective extends well beyond making an investment—we intend to help build a category-leading business by contributing our capital markets expertise, acquisition experience and public-company capabilities while supporting INERGX’s buy-and-build strategy. We believe this investment represents another important step in positioning Nocera at the center of the technologies enabling the next generation of AI, critical infrastructure and industrial innovation. At the same time, we continue to actively evaluate additional acquisitions, strategic investments and partnerships that align with our vision of building a diversified global technology holding company focused on creating long-term shareholder value.”

About the INERGX Platform

INERGX is being built to address one of the most pressing challenges facing organizations operating in increasingly power-constrained environments: the ability to design, build, deploy and manage mission-critical energy systems through a single integrated partner rather than relying on multiple point-solution providers. The platform is being developed as a vertically integrated, chemistry- and power-agnostic ecosystem that combines battery technology and intellectual property, system assembly, testing and certification, AI-driven battery management and monitoring software, recycling and repowering capabilities, with each component designed to reinforce the next while delivering a comprehensive end-to-end solution.

Unlike traditional equipment providers, INERGX’s commercial model is designed to create value well beyond the initial hardware sale. The platform is intended to use hardware deployments as the customer entry point while generating recurring revenue opportunities throughout each system’s lifecycle through optimization, monitoring, predictive maintenance, servicing, uninterrupted power solutions and periodic repowering. Management believes this lifecycle approach creates the potential for durable customer relationships and recurring revenue streams while positioning INERGX to capitalize on the rapidly growing demand for intelligent energy infrastructure.

INERGX is assembling this platform through an active buy-and-build acquisition strategy targeting complementary technologies, intellectual property and operating businesses across the energy value chain. The Company is focused on serving mission-critical end markets including AI and hyperscale data centers, industrial and mining operations, defense applications, renewable energy infrastructure and other sectors where reliable, intelligent power systems are becoming increasingly essential.

“The market no longer wants point solutions—it wants a trusted partner capable of designing, building, deploying and managing mission-critical power infrastructure from end to end,” said Dominic White, Founder of INERGX. “That is precisely the platform we are building. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries around the world, dependable energy infrastructure is becoming increasingly mission-critical. Nocera’s capital markets expertise, public-company experience and strategic growth capabilities make them an ideal long-term partner as we execute our acquisition strategy, expand our platform and pursue the significant opportunities emerging across AI infrastructure, defense and industrial energy markets.”

Market Backdrop

The investment comes as reliable power rapidly emerges as one of the defining constraints on the global expansion of artificial intelligence. Hyperscale AI deployments, accelerated data-center development and increasing electrification across industry are driving unprecedented investment in the energy infrastructure required to support next-generation computing workloads. As AI adoption continues to accelerate, management believes the ability to deliver resilient, scalable and intelligent power solutions will become increasingly valuable across both public and private sector markets.

According to McKinsey & Company, global AI infrastructure spending is projected to approach $7 trillion by 2030, with more than $5 trillion expected to be invested directly into AI workload infrastructure. Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency projects global data-center electricity demand will more than double to approximately 945 terawatt-hours by 2030—roughly equivalent to the entire annual electricity consumption of Japan. Management believes these powerful long-term trends are creating significant demand for intelligent, mission-critical power and battery energy-storage platforms such as INERGX, reinforcing the strategic rationale behind Nocera’s investment and its continued expansion into the infrastructure enabling the global AI economy.

Management believes the INERGX investment represents another meaningful step in Nocera’s ongoing evolution into Nocera Holdings.

Montreal, Canada, July 8th, 2026, FinanceWire

The Montreal-based trading platform is broadening its commitment to Canadian investors with a suite of new educational tools, updated market analysis resources, and enhanced retirement account guidance designed to serve both first-time and experienced traders across the country.

Gerard McMann, the AI-powered financial trading and investment platform operating out of Montreal, Quebec, has announced a significant expansion of its investor education and market resources programme for the Canadian market. The initiative reflects a growing demand from the firm’s Canadian client base for structured, accessible learning tools that complement the platform’s existing trading infrastructure.

The expansion adds dedicated sections to the Gerard McMann broker Canada offering, covering retirement account planning, compound interest modelling, cryptocurrency fundamentals, and multi-asset portfolio construction. Each resource has been developed with both newer investors and seasoned traders in mind, recognising that the Canadian market spans a wide range of experience levels and financial goals.

“Canadian investors deserve the same depth of resources and platform capability that institutional clients take for granted. That is the standard we are building toward.” Press Release responsable, Laura Hughes commented.

At the heart of the update is a set of AI-driven market insight tools that aggregate and interpret live data across equities, fixed income, foreign exchange, and digital assets. Rather than delivering raw data feeds, the tools are designed to surface context: why a market is moving, what historical patterns are relevant, and what variables are worth tracking for a given asset class. For Canadian investors navigating cross-border exposure between TSX-listed securities and US-listed instruments, the contextual layer adds a dimension that standard brokerage platforms do not typically provide.

Retirement Planning at the Centre of the Canadian Expansion

One of the most substantial additions to the Gerard McMann Canada offering is an expanded retirement accounts section, covering individual retirement accounts with tax-deductible contribution structures. The section includes a rebuilt compound calculator that allows users to model different contribution scenarios over time, incorporating variable return assumptions and adjustable contribution frequencies.

Retirement planning has historically been underserved by online trading platforms, which tend to focus on active traders rather than on the longer-horizon investor building toward a specific financial outcome. Gerard McMann’s decision to expand this area reflects feedback gathered from its Canadian user base, where demand for structured retirement guidance has grown alongside broader awareness of the limitations of state pension provision.

Gerard McMann Canada reviews collected from active users over the past twelve months have repeatedly highlighted the retirement account tools as a differentiating factor. Clients note that the combination of a capable trading platform with meaningful long-term planning resources is not something they had found elsewhere before making the switch.

“The most consistent piece of feedback we receive from Canadian clients is that they wanted a platform that took their long-term goals as seriously as their short-term trades.” Laura states.

Platform Infrastructure Supporting the Expansion

The educational resources sit on top of a trading infrastructure that supports more than 90 order types, spanning limit and market orders through to complex algorithmic strategies. Real-time trade confirmations, margin calculations, and portfolio assessment tools are available across web, mobile, and desktop environments, giving Canadian investors access to institutional-grade execution regardless of how or where they choose to trade.

Client securities accounts at Gerard McMann are protected. These protections apply in the event of broker-dealer failure and are independent of market conditions.

The platform’s existing infrastructure already supports clients across multiple asset classes, including equities, options, futures, foreign currencies, fixed income securities, and cryptocurrency. The July 2026 expansion does not alter the underlying trading engine but adds a resource layer that the company believes will improve outcomes for Canadian investors who arrive at the platform with clear goals but limited prior experience.

Platform Updates for Canadian Clients

For prospective clients evaluating Gerard McMann as a broker Canada option, the updated platform offers a starting point through the Gerard McMann Basics section, which has been revised to include Canadian-specific regulatory context and tax considerations. Platform tutorials have been updated to reflect the current interface, and a new series of investment concept guides covers topics including asset allocation, currency risk for cross-border portfolios, and the mechanics of dividend reinvestment.

Client onboarding follows a structured process: account registration, identity verification, account funding, and access to the full platform, including research tools and educational content. The company’s Canadian support line operates alongside its international contacts and is staffed by advisers familiar with the specific questions Canadian investors typically bring to a first consultation.

The expansion is live as of July 2026 and available to all new and existing Gerard McMann clients with Canadian accounts.

About Gerard McMann

Gerard McMann is a global AI-powered financial trading and investment platform headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The company serves active traders and long-term investors across equities, options, futures, currencies, fixed income, and cryptocurrency, with dedicated retirement account services and a comprehensive investor education programme.
