Facephi accelerates the digitalization of the air travel with verified identity and its KYP (Know Your Passenger) solution

MADRID, March 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Facephi, a leading company in digital identity technology, has reinforced its commitment to transforming the aviation sector at the IATA World Data Symposium. At this key industry event, the company showcased several solutions aimed at enabling a fully digital air travel experience, aligning with IATA’s One ID initiative, which seeks to eliminate airport frictionless through verifiable credentials and facial biometrics.

Currently, passengers must verify their identity at multiple checkpoints throughout a single journey, leading to delays and increased congestion at airports. To address this challenge, Facephi has developed technology that enables identity validation before arriving at the airport, reducing wait times and ensuring a seamless and secure travel experience. This innovation has already been successfully tested in collaboration with IATA through a proof of concept conducted last November.

A privacy-first approach that empowers the user

Complementing other solutions that have proven to reduce processing times by 40%, Facephi advocates for a decentralized model that enhances security and privacy. By leveraging verifiable credentials (VCs) and secure digital wallets, passengers have full control over when and how they share their personal information, ensuring compliance with global data protection regulations.

Facephi’s approach integrates advanced biometric verification with strong customer authentication (SCA) technologies, enabling fast, contactless identification at every checkpoint. From passport scanning to generating a Type 1 Digital Travel Credential (DTC) and creating verifiable credentials, travelers can securely store and manage their digital identity, streamlining check-in, security checks, and boarding processes.

Setting new standards for interoperability

By aligning with IATA’s core principles, Facephi ensures interoperability standards between airlines, airports, and government authorities.

With the creation of VCs at a Level of Assurance High (Immigration Level) that can be used by government entities, Facephi reaffirms its leadership in aviation digitalization.

The company’s strong commitment to this industry translates into innovative solutions that not only optimize operational efficiency at airports but also empower passengers by giving them greater control over their digital identity.

Together, Meltwater and NICE will empower enterprises to engage with customers in real time through social media channels to enhance customer interactions, streamline operations, make data-backed decisions and optimize strategies that boost customer satisfaction.

A leader in AI-powered customer service software, NICE supports enterprise organizations around the world with its CXone Mpower platform. With Meltwater social insights available in CXone Mpower, NICE customers can utilize social media as a customer care channel.

This new integration unlocks the power of Meltwater’s social intelligence for customer service, processing more than 3 billion social engagements each day. Meltwater’s AI-powered solutions then transform this data into actionable insights allowing teams to respond to cases in real time, reach unserved demographics, meet service-level objectives, and enhance the customer experience.

Key benefits of the integration include:

  • World class listening and filtering capabilities with the ability to search and analyze social content from Meltwater’s industry-leading, comprehensive dataset.
  • Advanced keyword filtering to surface the most relevant and actionable social media conversations and analyze customer sentiment, engagement, trending themes, consumer behavior, response times, and more.
  • A unified task queue, with messages in a single, centralized location, making it easier to manage multiple interactions simultaneously while improving resolution times.
  • Ability to respond to customer issues in real time, either in social channels or direct messages.

“We’re excited to partner with NICE which signifies a pivotal moment for Meltwater as we enter the CCaaS market,” said Doug Balut, Senior Vice President of Global Alliances and Partnerships at Meltwater. “Many contact center support teams lack access to real-time social data, leaving customers’ questions and concerns unanswered. With this integration, we’re empowering brands with the insights they need to understand customer sentiment, anticipate issues, and respond with agility, ultimately enhancing the customer experience.”

“Social media is a critical customer service channel. By integrating Meltwater’s social intelligence into CXone Mpower, we’re enabling enterprises to turn social interactions into meaningful customer engagements while driving efficiency and business impact,” said Barry Cooper, President, CX Division, NICE. “This integration reinforces NICE’s commitment to our open platform and strategic partnerships, enabling organizations to leverage leading capabilities across the ecosystem to deliver proactive, personalized experiences powered by AI.”

Unity Group Announces the Issuance of Carbon Emission Rights, Ongoing Projects Expected to Reduce 25 Million Tons of Carbon Dioxide Emissions

HONG KONG SAR – EQS Newswire – 12 March 2025 – Sustainable development is a global goal. Energy conservation, emission reduction, and achieving zero emissions and carbon neutrality are important ways to reach this goal.

Recently, Unity Group Holdings International Limited (1539.HK) hosted the International Carbon Emission Day Conference in Malaysia. At the event, Unity Group launched a structured carbon emission management plan and established a strategic partnership with Datuk Dr. Eric H’ng, a global expert in carbon emission standards and management.

“We gather here as a global community to address climate change and transition from global warming to global cooling,” said Mansfield Wong, Chairman and CEO of Unity Group.

Global Carbon Emission Initiative Achieves Major Progress

Unity Group, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2015, is an international ESG pioneer and leader in sustainable development. The group focuses on energy-saving solutions, renewable energy, ESG digitalization, and vertical indoor agriculture.

In recent years, carbon emission rights have grown in importance. Based on total volume control and trading mechanisms, companies exceeding their allocated rights must purchase additional emission rights.

This Conference gathered ESG practitioners from Malaysia, Australia, Chinese Mainland, Chinese Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Chinese Taiwan. This milestone event marks significant progress in global carbon emission collaboration.

At the conference, Mansfield Wong outlined the company’s phased sustainable development strategy to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

During the conference, Unity Group formally established a strategic partnership with Datuk Dr. Eric H’ng, who has been appointed as Unity Group’s Chief Researcher.

Unity Group also launched a carbon emission management plan to help companies offset emissions and fund global sustainable projects.

“Unity Group is the first company in the lighting industry to adopt carbon emission rights management globally,” Datuk Dr. Eric H’ng stated at the meeting. The company achieves significant energy conservation and emission reduction by promoting highly efficient energy-saving lighting fixtures.

Unity Group’s ultra-high efficiency ESG lighting fixtures save 75% more energy than others on the market. It has also actively promoted these fixtures in Selangor, Malaysia.

The project has been ongoing for two years and is now accelerating. The significant energy savings from these fixtures are laying the foundation for Unity Group to gain substantial carbon emission rights benefits.

In recent years, global carbon emission rights trading volume has been increasing. With ongoing improvements in lighting energy efficiency, Unity Group is expected to generate significant income from carbon emission rights trading.

At the meeting, Datuk Dr. Eric H’ng stated, “Malaysia ranks among Asia’s highest in carbon emission pricing, with prices expected to double by 2030. Businesses must act now to offset emissions, and Unity Group is leading this trend.”

May Become the First Company Listed in Both China and Malaysia

Unity Group was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2015 and has achieved significant development with capital market support. In recent years, the company has steadily grown and increased its influence in ESG and sustainable development.

Unity Group has been planning a secondary listing in Malaysia, as previously announced. On November 20, 2024, the company disclosed it is discussing this plan with an advisor for a listing on the Malaysian Stock Exchange.

Unity Group’s secondary listing in Malaysia is progressing steadily. Once completed, it will become the first company listed in both Hong Kong and Malaysia.

Its listing in Malaysia will significantly boost its liquidity and attract more diverse investors, potentially enhancing the company’s valuation. This will also provide greater trading convenience for Malaysian investors, better reflecting the company’s overall value.

In addition, Unity Group has long been active in the Malaysian market, including a three-year collaboration with the Selangor State Government on ESG initiatives. Its secondary listing in Malaysia will further grow the company.

In fact, as early as August 2024, Group subsidiary Synergy ESCO (Malaysia), reached a strategic cooperation with Malaysia’s largest financial institution.

Unity Group has gained a financing limit of 50 million ringgit (about 90 million Hong Kong dollars) from Malaysia’s largest bank to support its ESG-compliant energy efficiency projects nationwide. With continued market expansion in Malaysia and progress on its secondary listing, the company is poised for faster growth.

Selon le rapport de transparence, Bitget continue de renforcer ses initiatives communautaires en février

VICTORIA, Seychelles, 12 mars 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, la principale bourse de cryptomonnaies et société Web3, a publié son rapport de transparence de février 2025, marquant un nouveau mois historique de reconnaissance de l’industrie et de croissance de l’écosystème. Porté par l’innovation, des décisions commerciales stratégiques ainsi qu’une forte demande pour des plateformes fiables, l’écosystème a été poussé à se développer au-delà de toute attente.

Début février, Bitget s’est classé 8ᵉ sur la prestigieuse liste Forbes des bourses de cryptomonnaies les plus fiables, confirmant ainsi son engagement en matière de sécurité et de transparence. Cette reconnaissance est le résultat des efforts continus de Bitget pour bâtir une plateforme résiliente et fiable pour les utilisateurs. Renforçant davantage sa présence mondiale, Bitget a brillamment décroché la licence Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP ou fournisseur de services d’actifs virtuels) en Bulgarie, lui permettant ainsi d’étendre ses services sous le cadre réglementaire MiCA de l’Union européenne.

Célébrant une année 2024 impressionnante, Bitget a distribué un total de 70 millions de dollars de primes à ses employés. Cette distribution record de primes souligne la forte croissance de Bitget et témoigne des efforts déployés par l’équipe pour stimuler celle-ci. Grâce au soutien de la communauté et à l’innovation, Bitget a annoncé le lancement d’un nouveau cycle de Bitget Builders, dirigé par Vugar Usi Zade, directeur de l’exploitation de Bitget.

Le mois de février a également été marqué par le plus grand piratage de l’industrie cryptographique, avec une perte de 1,5 milliard de dollars subie par Bybit. En signe de solidarité, Bitget a manifesté son soutien en transférant des fonds pour faciliter les retraits. En privilégiant les mesures de sécurité et la collaboration, Bitget reste déterminé à renforcer la confiance dans l’industrie de la cryptographie.

Bitget continue de connaître une croissance impressionnante, avec plus de 100 millions d’utilisateurs dans le monde. La plateforme s’enorgueillit d’un volume de transactions quotidien de 20 milliards de dollars et d’un engagement important sur les marchés au comptant et à terme. Face à l’augmentation du nombre de ses utilisateurs, Bitget met la sécurité au premier plan. Son fonds de protection de 600 millions de dollars assure aux utilisateurs des transactions en toute confiance.

En élargissant son offre, Bitget s’est intégré à Callpay, permettant aux utilisateurs sud-africains d’effectuer des dépôts en ZAR directement. Bitget Wallet a lancé le programme de staking en USDT pour permettre aux utilisateurs de générer des revenus passifs, a également adopté le staking BGB on-chain ainsi que l’intégration d’Abstract Mainnet pour simplifier l’accès à l’on-chain.

Dans le cadre d’une étude portant sur les répercussions de la profondeur de la liquidité d’une bourse centralisée sur l’expérience des utilisateurs, Bitget a obtenu une excellente note dans la gestion de la liquidité. Bitget a de plus publié un rapport sur ses initiatives de recrutement alimentées par l’IA, visant à améliorer les pratiques d’embauche et la qualité des candidats.

Bitget a progressé dans ses initiatives de RSE, en lançant le premier Bitget Graduate Program conçu pour recruter et cultiver la prochaine génération de talents web3.

Grâce à ses avancées stratégiques, à l’élargissement de la conformité réglementaire et à l’accent mis sur l’innovation axée sur l’utilisateur, Bitget continue de contribuer à l’accélération de la cryptomonnaie dans le monde entier. Alors que l’entreprise va de l’avant, sa mission reste de favoriser un écosystème cryptographique sécurisé, transparent et inclusif pour les utilisateurs au niveau mondial.
