The collaboration builds on a series of strategic initiatives and partnerships announced by AD Ports Group in the renewable energy and offshore sectors, including recent agreements with Masdar, Siemens Energy, and Green Parrot, as well as the acquisition of Balenciaga Astilleros Shipyard in Spain, a specialist in offshore wind construction, all of which are building the Group’s offshore energy capabilities.

The MoU reflects the shared ambition of both parties to combine their complementary strengths in order to accelerate growth within the offshore wind and energy infrastructure markets in Europe and other regions.

Under the framework of the MoU, both parties will explore opportunities, including transportation solutions for offshore wind components, development of pre-assembly hubs, cooperation on selected offshore wind tenders and industrial projects, plus fabrication, assembly, and logistics solutions for offshore energy infrastructure.

From the Roar of Formula 1 to a Global Anthem: Alan Walker and STING Energy Bring the Sound of F1 to Life

Hyderabad, June 16: What does Formula 1® sound like? That question sits at the heart of “The Sting Within Me” – a high-energy new track from Alan Walker and STING Energy® (facilitated and curated by Warner Music India), inspired by the sound, speed and emotion of Formula 1. The track debuted live during the Barcelona Grand Prix weekend in front of thousands of fans – bringing together Formula 1, global DJ Alan Walker and a new generation of fans.

This wasn’t just a collaboration between music and motorsport. It was the culmination of an idea already gaining momentum online – that the roar of a Formula 1 engine sounds uncannily like one word: “Stinggg.” For Alan Walker, the project brought together two worlds that have long fuelled his passions beyond music: motorsport and energy drinks. A lifelong fan of racing and racing games, he saw the collaboration as an opportunity to channel the emotion, intensity and excitement of Formula 1 into an original Alan Walker record designed for fans both on and off the circuit. Drawing inspiration from the roar of the engines and the atmosphere of race weekend, Walker transformed that experience into a track built around the tension, anticipation and release that define the sport. And it all started with a sound the internet simply couldn’t unhear.

Inspired by the growing synergy between electronic music and Formula 1 fandom, Alan Walker approached the challenge of creating a contemporary racing anthem through his own distinctive lens. Captivated by the sport’s intensity and atmosphere, he collaborated with STING® Energy and Formula 1 to access a rich archive of engine sounds and race audio. Blending these elements with his signature melodic and cinematic production style, Walker crafted an original record that captures the tension, anticipation and release at the heart of a Formula 1 race weekend. Insights gained through his exchange with Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One team driver George Russell further helped shape “Sting Within Me.”

“Formula 1 already sounds electronic to me,” said Alan Walker. “The engines have rhythm, the build-up, the atmosphere, the tension, everything has a rhythm. Once I heard the ‘STING’ connection, it was impossible to ignore. I wanted the track to hit with the same pressure as a race start. Going live with it in Barcelona made it even more surreal because you could feel that emotion among fans in real time.”

“Last year, fans realised that Formula 1 sounds like STINGGG, and the response showed us just how naturally racing, sound and culture could collide.” said Eugene Willemsen, Chief Executive Officer of International Beverages, PepsiCo. “What started as a viral moment quickly evolved into something much bigger — Sting becoming the sound of Formula 1 for fans around the world. With ‘The Sting Within Me’, we pushed that idea further, turning the raw energy of Formula 1 into something fans can stream, share and experience beyond the circuit. This is about bringing Formula 1 into culture in a way that feels immediate, social and built for a new generation of fans.”

Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer, Formula 1®, said: “Formula 1 today is much more than what happens on track, it’s about the sounds, experiences and emotion you get when engaging with our sport. STING’s new anthem is proof that the sport has grown far beyond the racetrack, with fans and consumers able to enjoy unique moments of the action in their everyday lives. Through this new track, Sting is helping more fans connect with one of the elements that makes the sport special – its visceral sound – and increase our ever-growing fanbase worldwide.”

Jay Mehta, Managing Director, Warner Music India & SAARC, shared: “Alan has brilliantly captured the energy of Formula 1, reflecting the sport’s pace, intensity, and atmosphere. This collaboration showcases the powerful connection between music and sport, while reflecting our continued focus on building a broader 360-degree ecosystem for artists and partners beyond the traditional recorded music business.”

More than a collaboration, “The Sting Within Me” reflects how Formula 1 is increasingly moving beyond sport — becoming a force across music, fashion, gaming and digital culture. Through the track, STING Energy® continues to build its identity across motorsports and pop culture. The Barcelona Grand Prix debut marked the first time fans experienced the track live, hearing the emotional frequency of Formula 1 transformed into music in real time.

Released today via Warner Music India, “The Sting Within Me” is now available across all major streaming platforms.

Evergreen Goodwill Unveils New Mural by Seattle Artist in World’s Largest Goodwill

SEATTLE, June 16:  As global soccer brings visitors from across the country and around the world to Seattle, Evergreen Goodwill of Northwest Washington is proud to introduce a vibrant new addition to its Seattle flagship store, the world’s largest Goodwill: a permanent mural by celebrated Seattle artist Stevie Shao. 

Located just steps from Seattle Stadium, Goodwill’s 70,000-square-foot flagship store offers a distinctly local experience for visitors: part retail destination, part reflection of Seattle’s commitment to sustainability and community. Now, with the addition of Shao’s mural in one of its most visible, high-traffic interior spaces, the store offers an even richer sense of place for both travelers and locals exploring the neighborhood.

As one of the most unique retail destinations near the stadium, the store offers something distinctly local: a shopping experience shaped by community contributions, where every purchase supports life-changing programs—and now, a striking work of art that brings that mission to life.

The mural gives the space a new look at a time when the city is drawing global attention. Created in Shao’s signature style, it draws inspiration from themes of community, opportunity, and place, which makes her the perfect partner for a project rooted in the diversity and energy of Seattle’s Chinatown–International District and surrounding community. Completed in early June and designed as a permanent installation, the mural is intended to become a defining feature of the flagship store. As visitors explore the city this summer, Goodwill offers more than a place to shop; it’s an opportunity to experience a uniquely local intersection of art, community, and impact.

For more than 100 years, Evergreen Goodwill has generated revenue through retail to support tuition-free job training and education programs across Northwest Washington. The new installation builds on that mission by investing in placemaking and storytelling, transforming a high-traffic retail environment into a space that reflects the people and communities it serves.

The mural marks Evergreen Goodwill’s second collaboration with Shao, following a limited-edition tote bag for Secondhand Sunday last year. The continued partnership highlights the organization’s approach to working with artists as creative collaborators, while deepening ties to the local arts community.

He added: “We firmly believe that empowering women and creating equal opportunities in employment and entrepreneurship not only improves the lives of women and their families, but also represents a direct investment in building a stronger, more resilient, and sustainable economy. Through Women&Co, we aim to develop practical and sustainable solutions that support women, businesses, and local communities while generating measurable social and economic impact. The platform adopts a collaborative approach that brings together the public and private sectors, civil society organizations, and development partners to design services and initiatives that address real market needs and contribute to inclusive and sustainable growth pathways in Egypt.”

Pathfinder International highlighted the importance of positioning women’s economic inclusion as a driver of sustainable business performance, ESG readiness, and long-term competitiveness. Discussions throughout the day explored topics including gender inclusion in the workplace, carbon emissions reduction, the implications of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) for Egyptian businesses, and pathways to expanding access to green and inclusive finance.
