Exploring the Power of Journeys: TESSAN and Rachael Yamagata Premiere Exclusive Documentary

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 January 2025 – TESSAN, a global leader in travel charging solutions, has officially announced its collaboration with renowned American singer-songwriter Rachael Yamagata. As part of this collaboration, TESSAN has premiered an exclusive documentary on YouTube, offering an intimate look at Rachael’s artistic journey and philosophy. The film delves into her deeply personal reflections on music and life’s many journeys, unveiling untold creative stories and the ways in which she channels emotions into songwriting. Through this partnership, TESSAN and Rachael invite audiences to embrace the unknown, find meaning in movement, and redefine what it truly means to embark on a journey.

A Voice for the Journey, A Bridge to Connection

TESSAN chose Rachael Yamagata for this collaboration not just as a singer-songwriter, but as a living embodiment of the journey the brand celebrates—one of transformation, connection, and self-discovery. Her music is more than melody; it is a chronicle of movement—through places, emotions, and phases of life.

Like travel, Rachael’s artistry is driven by exploration and authenticity. Her songs capture the raw, unfiltered essence of human experience—love, loss, resilience—mirroring the very journey that shapes us all. She believes, as TESSAN does, that true connection is found in embracing the unknown, in stepping beyond comfort to discover something deeper—about the world, and about oneself.

A Deep-Dive Documentary: Exploring Music, Connection, and the Essence of Journey

This Documentary is a key milestone in TESSAN’s global campaign, “What’s Your Next Journey?”, which encourages people to embrace the unknown, seek new experiences, and forge deeper connections through travel and self-discovery.

A Story of Reflection, Growth, and Connection

This documentary captures Rachael Yamagata’s raw, unfiltered reflections on her personal and artistic journey, offering an intimate look at the experiences that have shaped her music. Through candid storytelling, she delves into:

  • The Meaning of “Journey” – How life’s transitions, uncertainties, and discoveries influence both her music and personal growth.
  • Music as a Universal Connector – The way songs create unspoken bonds between people, bridging emotions, cultures, and personal experiences.
  • The Power of Love – Her philosophy on being open, honest, and authentic—both as a Singer-songwriter and as a human navigating life’s highs and lows.
  • Finding Strength in Creativity – How art can serve as a tool for self-discovery, resilience, and empowerment, inspiring others to embrace their own journeys.

View the Full Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd9_74t4aQE

Beyond Music: A Shared Philosophy with TESSAN

At its core, this documentary embodies TESSAN’s belief in connection—both physical and emotional. Just as TESSAN’s travel solutions enable people to stay connected no matter where they go, Rachael’s music creates emotional connections that transcend borders. Through the “What’s Your Next Journey?” campaign, TESSAN aims to inspire people to embark on their next adventure—whether that means traveling the world, chasing a dream, or rediscovering themselves. This alignment reinforces TESSAN’s brand identity as not just a provider of travel essentials, but as a brand that empowers and inspires exploration, self-discovery, and human connection.

Final Thoughts: The Power of Journeys and Connection

At its heart, “What’s Your Next Journey?” is a question about movement—not just across places, but through life itself. It is about the choices we make, the challenges we face, and the growth that comes with stepping into the unknown. This collaboration between TESSAN and Rachael Yamagata is a reflection of that idea. TESSAN helps people stay connected as they travel the world, while Rachael’s music captures the emotional journeys we all go through.

But beyond travel and music, this partnership speaks to something deeper—the power of connection. Journeys are not just about reaching a destination; they are about the people we meet, the experiences we share, and the moments that shape who we become. Whether through technology or art, the ability to connect—with others, with ourselves, and with the world around us—is what gives those journeys meaning.

So, what’s your next journey? Whether it’s an adventure into the unknown, a return to something familiar, or an inward reflection on where you’ve been and where you’re headed, this campaign serves as a reminder that every step matters, every connection shapes us, and every journey—no matter how big or small—is worth embracing.

China’s First RV Stock is Here. New Gonow, the Pioneer of “Mobile Homes,” is Set to Go Public

SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 January 2025 – In today’s era of diversity, freedom, and a pursuit of high-quality living, recreational vehicles (RVs) have become the preferred choice for many seeking to explore the world and enjoy life. As a pioneer in creating the “mobile home” experience, New Gonow has leveraged its exceptional product capabilities, keen market insights, and strong innovation to gain widespread recognition not only in China’s domestic market but also on the global stage, showcasing remarkable competitiveness.

Now, New Gonow is set to reach a significant milestone in its journey—ringing the bell at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for its IPO, officially becoming China’s first publicly listed RV company

According to the prospectus, New Gonow has maintained an average annual revenue growth rate of over 50% over the past three years, significantly outperforming the industry average. In the first half of 2024, despite uncertainties in the global economic environment, the company delivered an impressive net profit margin of nearly 10%.

This not only highlights New Gonow’s continuous improvement in profitability but also serves as strong evidence of its robust competitiveness and high market recognition within the industry.

As a homegrown Chinese manufacturer, New Gonow not only boasts advanced manufacturing technology and extensive production experience but also demonstrates keen market insight and an innovative growth strategy.

In its early years, the company leveraged strategic collaboration with a renowned Australian RV brand, effectively integrating the strengths of both China and Australia in resources, technology, and market presence. This synergy enabled New Gonow to stand out in the Australian and New Zealand markets, where it quickly rose to become the second-largest RV brand. Its market competitiveness and influence continue to grow steadily.

This experience in international collaboration and competition has not only provided New Gonow with valuable expertise but also validated its products in global markets. As a result, the company has progressively built the capability to compete with leading international brands.

As consumer demand for travel and lifestyle experiences becomes increasingly diverse, the concept that “buying an RV is buying a lifestyle” has deeply resonated with the market. New Gonow has keenly identified this trend and is committed to creating high-quality, personalized “mobile homes” for its customers.

The company offers a comprehensive product lineup, ranging from luxury to budget-friendly models and catering to various needs, from family vacations to solo adventures. This diverse portfolio ensures that New Gonow can meet the evolving preferences of different consumer groups, reinforcing its position as a leader in the industry.

New Gonow has consistently remained at the forefront of the industry in technological research and innovation. The company continues to increase its investment in R&D, focusing on enhancing vehicle performance, safety, and comfort.

From advanced smart control systems to energy-efficient and eco-friendly power technologies, from meticulously crafted interior designs to rugged and durable vehicle structures, New Gonow strives for excellence in every detail.

It is this relentless pursuit of technical superiority and quality that has fueled the company’s steady rise in the market. Moreover, it lays a solid foundation for future product upgrades and expansion into new markets, unlocking limitless opportunities for growth

New Gonow’s decision to pursue an IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange marks a new chapter in its growth journey. By going public, the company will gain increased capital support to expand production capacity, strengthen R&D investment, broaden sales channels, and enhance brand influence.

Leveraging the power of the capital market, New Gonow is well-positioned to accelerate its domestic and international expansion, further solidifying its status as a leading player in the RV industry.

Industry’s First Color-Conversion-Based AM MicroLED Technology Delivers New Value in Display Technology

Innolux has been deeply involved in forward-looking panel technology for many years and showcased the industry’s first 106″ Color-Conversion-Based AM-MicroLED Free Tiling Display with six main features: lifelike high resolution, high color saturation, wide color gamut, excellent ambient light contrast, seamless tiling, and low power consumption. Extremely small pixel pitch (≦P0.6mm) achieves a new level of ultra-high definition all across the screen. Its color-conversion-based microLED and flawless free tiling panel module comes in 12.3″ to 220″ based on customer needs. The limitations of traditional panels are transcended to realize an unparalleled high-end, high-definition, and ultra-large visual experience.

Innolux’s free tiling QD color-conversion-based MicroLED display technology employs an active TFT driving backplane and has a four-sided tileable design. It is also equipped with a full-color solution for color conversion technology powered via blue LED chips with quantum dots. It is able to overcome two major problems of RGB MicroLED technology architecture, including the lack of uniformity typical of green LED chips and the poor efficiency and reliability of red LED chips after miniaturization.

Furthermore, the use of high-performance color conversion materials can also achieve a wide color gamut of BT2020 with 90% area ratio.

In addition, Innolux debuted its innovative 9.6″ AM-MicroLED Mirror Display, which features ultra-high brightness (1200 nits), ultra-high contrast (1,000,000:1), wide color gamut (NTSC 120%), and ultra-high reflectivity, and energy saving, among other astounding advantages. MicroLED Smart Mirror is an integrated multi-functional smart mirror display. It is equipped with automotive-grade RGB self-luminous MicroLED technology. Its tiny aperture area ratio can provide visuals with high reflectivity and ultra-high brightness while ensuring low power consumption. Similar in appearance to a 9.6″ mirror, the smart mirror display combines exclusive pioneering display technology to not only show product information, promotional messages, and personalized advertisements, but also enable consumers to enjoy an interactive VR experience. This emerging display technology will provide comprehensive system solutions for smart retail, smart cockpit, and other fields.

With its robust and forward-looking MicroLED technology, Innolux has obtained nearly 580 patents approved by the U.S.A. Its excellent display quality and market potential cannot be understated. Innolux has repeatedly garnered much technical praise and recognition at international expos and national display technology awards. Our products offer many excellent features such as high image quality, seamless and free tiling, fast response, low power consumption, and ultra-power saving. Application scenarios include smart education, high-end theaters, museums, and other 8K retina large-scale display markets, as well as smart mobile, smart retail, and many other diverse avenues for innovation.

Exclusive LC Dimming Technology to Seize Smart Car Market and Achieve Environmental Sustainability for a Green Future

Carbon reduction and the goal of net zero are about more than sustainability: they are an essential requirement for global corporations to transform and create competitive value. Global warming is a challenge that all sectors and nations must tackle jointly. Cities, in particular, are some of the main arenas for implementing carbon reduction and accomplishing net zero. Innolux is committed to implementing value transformation through the guiding principle “More than Panel”, actively engaging in non-panel application fields. By harnessing our exclusive liquid crystal film technology and glass integration process capabilities, Innolux is pioneering advanced applications for Smart LC Windows.

We actively integrate LC dimming technology in automotive component products such as smart dimming windows, smart dimming rear-view mirrors, and smart dimming sun visors to foster green business opportunities, create new industry possibilities, and practice environmental sustainability, thereby pursuing a green future.

Innolux’s groundbreaking smart dimming window effectively solves window tint’s limitation of only allowing one type of light transmission. Moreover, the smart dimming rear-view mirror automatically senses light intensity in the surroundings and adjusts reflectivity according to the driver’s requirements to ensure that they can clearly observe traffic conditions in the rearview under different lighting, thereby greatly improving driving safety and comfort. Last but not least, the smart dimming sun visor also dynamically adjusts the light transmittance of the sun visor in real time based on the intensity of external light. Besides protecting the driver’s vision from strong light, this innovative design also prevents blind spots caused by traditional sun visors, thus providing a safer and more comfortable driving experience.

HDBank successfully issues $118m in green bonds for eco-friendly projects

HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 January 2025 – The Ho Chi Minh City Development Joint Stock Commercial Bank (HDBank, stock code: HDB) has issued VND3 trillion (US$118 million) in green bonds, becoming Viet Nam’s first private bank to do so.

The green bonds aim to finance environmentally sustainable projects and promote green economic development with maturities of two, three, and five years, aligning with International Capital Market Association (ICMA) and Loan Market Association (LMA) compliance standards.

The green bonds have attracted considerable interest from prominent institutional investors, achieving full order volume within a remarkably short timeframe.

The capital raised from these green bonds will be allocated to projects that align with the criteria outlined in HDBank’s “Sustainable Finance Framework,” with the aim of contributing to environmental protection and advancing green economic development.

Prior to the issuance, HDBank was already among the first banks in Viet Nam to announce a “Sustainable Finance Framework” in accordance with the standards of ICMA and LMA.

Developed with help from the IFC, a member of the World Bank (WB), this framework received a “very good” rating from Moody’s.

Phạm Quoc Thanh, CEO of HDBank, said, “The launch of the Sustainable Finance Framework and green bonds demonstrates the bank’s commitment to sustainable development.

“This initiative promotes green growth and mobilizes long-term capital for projects that reduce CO2 emissions and support the government’s carbon neutrality goal by 2050.”

HDBank is also one of the first banks in Viet Nam to establish an environmental and social risk management system aimed at promoting green credit and sustainable finance.

For several years, the lender has received accolades from international institutions like IFC, ADB, DEG, and Proparco for its climate finance and gender equality initiatives.

The bank was also the first in Viet Nam to form an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Committee to oversee sustainable development.

In 2024, it published a report on Vietnamese sustainable development.

In 2024, it was recognised for the fifth consecutive year as one of the Top 20 in the Vietnam Sustainable Development Index (VNSI) by the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HoSE).
