HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 September 2026 – Rather than relying solely on domestic franchising, East West Barbershop(Dong Tay Barbershop) has chosen an internationalization strategy: exporting its business model while bringing Vietnamese barbers into the global labor market through overseas franchises. East West Barbershop identifies international franchising as a key growth strategy. Among the Top 10 Notable Barbershop Chains Worldwide From local barber shops, many brands have grown into global chains with hundreds or thousands of locations. Great Clips, TONI&GUY, QB House, Jawed Habib Hair & Beauty, Yongqi Beauty & Hair and East West Barbershop are among the notable names in the global hair and grooming industry. Their success is built on scalable business models, consistent service quality and strong customer experiences. Founded in Vietnam in 2018 by Nguyen Hoai Thanh, East West Barbershop has expanded to more than 130 locations across Vietnam, Thailand, China, Uzbekistan and Europe, with over 1,000 barbers serving thousands of customers weekly. East West Barbershop has developed an “Experience Barbershop” concept, combining grooming services with relaxing spaces featuring children’s play areas, billiards, chess, piano and green spaces. Beyond haircuts and shampoo, the brand offers hair treatments, styling, massage, nail care, shoe cleaning and smartphone sterilization. Standardized operations and training ensure consistent quality across its network. The brand also operates convenient-format shops in residential areas and shopping centers, providing fast and affordable services. Combining Domestic Growth with International Franchising According to the company, franchising is more than a way to expand a brand. It is also a means of transferring a business model that has already been tested and refined. For East West Barbershop, the long-term ambition is to “Export Vietnamese Barbering” to international markets. Nguyen Hoai Thanh, Chairman of East West Barbershop Vietnam JSC, said that in developed markets, building a new service brand often requires substantial investment and involves multiple challenges, including location, staffing, marketing, legal compliance and customer trust. By adopting a franchise model, partners can shorten the time required to launch a business, reduce initial costs and limit early-stage risks. A dedicated relaxation space for men. “This is an opportunity for Vietnamese service brands like ours to gradually enter global markets through franchising, rather than limiting our growth to the domestic market,” Nguyen Hoai Thanh said. East West Barbershop does not view franchising simply as a way to increase its store count. Its broader ambition is to create opportunities for Vietnamese barbers to work and build careers internationally. Standardizing Talent for Global Integration For international franchising, East West Barbershop considers human resources critical. The company focuses on professional training, standardized skills and service procedures to ensure consistent quality across markets. The company also supports barbers with training, legal procedures and adaptation to overseas workplaces, while providing housing and education assistance. Its goal is to build a Vietnamese service brand with a presence in multiple countries, bringing Vietnamese barbering to the global men’s grooming market.

Collaboration Framework Encompasses Nuclear Fuel Transportation, Conversion and Deconversion, Microreactor Licensing and Deployment, Advanced Manufacturing, and Power Solutions for Data Centers and Remote Communities New York, New York and Oak Ridge, Tennessee – Newsfile Corp. – September 4, 2026 – NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) (“NANO Nuclear” or “the Company”), a leading advanced nuclear micro modular reactor and technology company focused on developing clean energy solutions, nuclear fuel cycle capabilities and nuclear transportation solutions, today announced that it has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Enveniam, LLC (“Enveniam”), a leading project integrator and provider of engineering, technology and project-delivery solutions, to explore a collaboration addressing nuclear fuel cycle infrastructure, microreactor commercialization, advanced manufacturing and end-user energy solutions. Figure 1 – NANO Nuclear Energy and Enveniam Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Advance U.S. Nuclear Fuel Cycle, Microreactor Deployment and Energy Infrastructure To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: https://theexchangeasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/312953_7732e902b4852b3b_003full.jpg The MOU establishes a framework through which the companies will explore utilizing Enveniam’s experience in nuclear engineering, project integration, safety analysis, licensing support, project controls, operational readiness and complex energy infrastructure to advance NANO Nuclear’s developing reactor, nuclear fuel fabrication and transportation capabilities. Any specific services, funding, projects or commercial commitments between the parties would be subject to separate definitive agreements. “This MOU brings together two organizations with complementary capabilities across the advanced nuclear value chain,” said Jay Yu, Founder and Chairman of NANO Nuclear Energy. “NANO Nuclear is building a vertically integrated platform spanning microreactors, nuclear fuel and transportation, while Enveniam brings extensive experience integrating complex nuclear and energy programs. By exploring opportunities together, we aim to strengthen the practical pathway from technology development to regulatory licensing, manufacturing and deployment, while preserving the flexibility to evaluate each potential project on its individual merits.” “Enveniam is focused on bringing disciplined project integration, technical depth and delivery certainty to critical energy missions,” said Doug Freund, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boston Government Services and Executive Officer of Enveniam. “NANO Nuclear is advancing a broad portfolio that touches several important parts of the emerging advanced nuclear market. This framework gives our teams the opportunity to assess where Enveniam’s engineering, project controls, licensing, safety and operational capabilities can help translate promising nuclear technologies and infrastructure concepts into executable projects.” Exploring Broad Cooperation Across the Nuclear Value Chain Under the MOU, NANO Nuclear and Enveniam expect to evaluate potential cooperation across six principal workstreams: Nuclear fuel transportation: engineering, safety, operational and regulatory support for NANO Nuclear’s HALEU transportation systems, including transport-basket optimization, regulatory filings and security protocols. Conversion and deconversion: engineering design, criticality-safety analysis, integrated safety assessments and licensing-strategy support for potential uranium conversion and deconversion facilities. Microreactor commercialization: technical support for siting, licensing, engineering, fabrication, project controls, risk management, safety-basis development, operations planning and deployment readiness for NANO Nuclear’s lead KRONOS MMR™ Energy System project or NANO Nuclear’s portable microreactor designs. Advanced manufacturing: requirements development, project management, engineering design, baseline planning, earned-value management and operational-readiness support for a potential U.S.-based manufacturing facility for nuclear fuel, fuel components and microreactor modules. Domestic fuel supply chain: strategic, program-management, technical and compliance support spanning sourcing, fabrication, qualification, transportation and delivery. Commercial energy markets: joint market development and stakeholder engagement concerning potential electricity and process-heat solutions for data centers, remote and off-grid communities, Alaska Native organizations, island states and territories, and other energy-intensive users. “Commercializing advanced nuclear technology requires more than a strong reactor design,” said James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Nuclear Energy. “It requires disciplined licensing, safety analysis, project controls, supply-chain coordination, manufacturing planning and operational readiness. Enveniam’s capabilities closely align with our expertise and business plans across these critical workflows. We believe this collaboration can help us evaluate projects more efficiently, identify execution risks earlier and build stronger delivery plans as opportunities advance toward definitive agreements.” Building a Disciplined Path to Definitive Projects The MOU calls for establishing a joint working group that would meet periodically to review potential business opportunities, identify projects that may warrant a funded statement of work or task order, and consider joint applications for federal or state funding. Each company would retain discretion over the information it shares and the opportunities it elects to pursue. The MOU does not obligate either company to proceed with a particular project, provide services, commit funding or enter into a commercial transaction. Any such activity would require separate definitive agreements establishing the applicable scope, schedule, responsibilities, economics, intellectual-property arrangements and regulatory requirements. Supporting Data Centers and Remote Communities One area of potential collaboration is the development of reliable electricity and process-heat solutions for data centers and other energy-intensive customers. The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, advanced manufacturing and electrification is increasing demand for safe, dependable, around-the-clock power and creating opportunities for advanced nuclear technologies that can complement and support existing grids and energy infrastructure. NANO Nuclear and Enveniam also intend to evaluate opportunities involving remote and off-grid communities, including Alaska Native organizations and island jurisdictions that may rely heavily on imported fossil fuels. Potential applications could include resilient power, district or industrial heat, desalination and hybrid energy systems combining microreactors with renewable generation. Any deployment would remain subject to technical feasibility, stakeholder support, financing, licensing and definitive project documentation. Strengthening the Domestic Nuclear Fuel Cycle The MOU also supports NANO Nuclear’s broader strategy of developing capabilities across critical portions of the domestic nuclear fuel cycle. Through its subsidiaries Advanced Fuel Transportation Inc. and HALEU Energy Fuel Inc., NANO Nuclear is pursuing transportation and fuel-fabrication capabilities intended to support its own reactor programs and the wider advanced nuclear industry. Enveniam’s experience in project integration, nuclear operations, engineering, safety, licensing, supply-chain management and operational readiness may complement NANO Nuclear’s work in fuel transportation, conversion and deconversion, fabrication and manufacturing. The companies believe that coordinated planning across these activities could help identify bottlenecks, improve project definition and support a more secure and resilient U.S. nuclear fuel supply chain.

As the industry rewires around electronics and software, Malaysia is trying to move from assembling cars to making the higher-value parts inside them, and to carry its own companies up the supply chain as it does. KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 September 2026 – The global automotive industry is undergoing one of its most significant transformations in decades, and Malaysia is preparing for its next chapter. The vehicle of the future will not be defined by its engine or its bodywork. It is becoming a combination of semiconductors, electronics, software, sensors and batteries, more connected, electrified and intelligent than anything before it. The question facing Malaysia, a country that has assembled cars for half a century, is whether its own companies can evolve at the same pace. For the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), the agency that courts and screens industrial investment, the answer cannot simply be to attract more capital or build more vehicles. Its aim is to create deeper value: stronger technological capabilities, skilled talent, and Malaysian companies embedded more firmly in regional and global supply chains. Beyond Traditional Manufacturing Malaysia has spent decades building an automotive and manufacturing base, with established capabilities in electrical and electronics and in semiconductors. The task now, in MIDA’s view, is to connect those strengths and steer investment toward the technologies that will define the next generation of mobility: automotive electronics, power systems, battery technology, advanced sensors, vehicle control systems, charging infrastructure and the software behind connected and automated vehicles. The foundation is substantial. From 2017 through the first half of 2026, Malaysia approved RM71.7 billion, about US$16.9 billion, in investments across 745 projects in the transportation equipment sector, expected to generate over 59,000 jobs. That momentum has carried into this year. That momentum has carried into this year. In the first half of 2026 alone, the country approved RM218.5 billion, about US$49 billion, in investments overall, almost 12 per cent more than a year earlier, with foreign investors accounting for RM126.9 billion of the total, an increase of more than 18 per cent. What MIDA says it is chasing now is not scale but depth, and the difference shows in the kind of work arriving. “We are no longer measuring success by the size of the investment alone,” said Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, the Chief Executive Officer of MIDA. “The RM218.5 billion we approved in just the first half of this year shows the confidence investors have in Malaysia, but the real test is what that investment leaves behind: the technology transferred, the talent built, and the number of Malaysian companies drawn into global supply chains. That is where the next chapter will be won, in the depth of the value we create, not simply the volume of what we attract.” Deepening Localisation, Strengthening Local Suppliers Consider Mazda. The Japanese carmaker has maintained a long-standing presence in Malaysia through its partnership with Bermaz Auto, with local assembly providing an important foundation for expanding its manufacturing and supply-chain footprint in the country. In 2026, Mazda moved to deepen that presence through the local assembly of the All-New Mazda CX-5, with a targeted 60 per cent localisation level. The programme represents an important step in strengthening Malaysia’s role as a regional manufacturing and export base for Mazda. The significance of Mazda’s commitment lies as much in what it creates for Malaysian companies as in the vehicles themselves. The localisation of the All-New CX-5 provides a platform for Malaysian automotive suppliers to participate more deeply in Mazda’s supply chain, while creating opportunities for technology transfer, capability development and stronger industrial linkages between Malaysian and Japanese companies. In this context, localisation is not simply about increasing the percentage of locally sourced components, but about developing effective and higher-value local capabilities that can compete within regional and global automotive supply chains. This is where MIDA has concentrated its efforts. Through the MIDA–Mazda Strategic Vendor Development and Supply Chain Programme in Hiroshima, Japan, from 19–25 July 2026, MIDA, together with Bermaz Auto, Mazda Malaysia and Mazda Motor Corporation, brought 16 Malaysian automotive vendors from sectors including chassis and suspension, stamping, precision machining, plastic injection moulding, cockpit modules, seating systems and insulation components to engage with Mazda and its Japanese supply-chain partners. The programme resulted in the exchange of five Memorandums of Understanding between Malaysian and Japanese companies, creating concrete opportunities to support the localisation of the All-New Mazda CX-5. For Malaysia, the deeper significance of Mazda’s commitment therefore lies not only in the vehicles assembled locally, but in the industrial ecosystem developing around them. Each localisation project, supplier partnership and technology collaboration strengthens Malaysia’s automotive manufacturing capabilities and creates opportunities for Malaysian vendors to move into higher-value activities. More importantly, Mazda’s commitment to Malaysia as an ASEAN export hub provides a platform for local companies to integrate into regional supply chains and reinforces Malaysia’s position as a competitive and increasingly sophisticated automotive manufacturing base. From Tier Two, Upward If Mazda is the carmaker whose deepening presence lifts others, Pecca Group is a Malaysian company climbing on its own. For a quarter of a century, Pecca has cut and stitched the leather that lines the seats of the cars Malaysians drive, supplying the national marques and the Japanese carmakers as a Tier-2 supplier, essential work that rarely commands the highest margins. It has never treated that as its ceiling. Listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia since 2016 and employing some 800 people, the company is working toward Tier-1 status through seat assembly, and has carried its craft into aviation, manufacturing and refurbishing aircraft cabin interiors under European airworthiness approval for customers from the United States to Australia and the Gulf. “We have been a Tier-2 supplier for twenty-five years, and we are ready for the next chapter,” said Foo Ken Nee, Chief Executive Officer of Pecca Group. “Moving up the value chain is how a Malaysian company like ours grows alongside the industry rather than beneath it.” Pecca

Celebrating 18 Years of Pipe Cleaner Art Across Art, Fashion and Toy Culture TOKYO, JAPAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 September 2026 – Japanese artist TAKUMA FUJISAKI, exclusively represented by ARTOX GROUP, officially opened his solo exhibition “MOLnarrative“ at GINZA ATRIUM, Ginza Tsutaya Books in Tokyo on August 29, 2026. Running through September 15, the exhibition traces 18 years of Fujisaki‘s artistic exploration of pipe cleaners, while two additional presentations and limited-time pop-ups inside Ginza Tsutaya Books showcase collaborative works, MOGOLS art toys and related merchandise. MOLnarrative: A Visual Narrative Built Across 18 Years “MOLnarrative” takes Fujisaki’s 18-year creative journey with pipe cleaners as its central timeline, bringing together characters and three-dimensional works created throughout different periods of his career. Each work exists as an independent object, while also functioning as a fragment of the artist’s thoughts, experiences, memories and the cultural atmosphere of the period in which it was created. By reconstructing these works along a shared timeline, the exhibition presents more than the evolution of pipe cleaner art. It reveals how an artist’s way of observing the world, interpreting culture and developing a visual language can continually evolve through sustained creative practice. Moving freely between pop culture, toy culture, design and art, Fujisaki has developed a unique sculptural language at the intersection of these fields. “MOLnarrative” is therefore not simply a retrospective. It is a visual narrative about memory, time, creativity and the changing perspective of an artist. Working across art direction and pipe cleaner art, Fujisaki has spent nearly two decades exploring the expressive potential of this distinctive craft material. Since 2010, he has presented exhibitions and workshops primarily in Tokyo, gradually developing a highly recognizable sculptural language of his own. In Fujisaki‘s hands, vivid and slightly irregular pipe cleaners are transformed from an everyday craft material into characters, sculptures and an expansive visual universe. His works often evoke a curious sense of déjà vu. They appear familiar, yet cannot be traced to any particular existing character or object. This balance between familiarity and unfamiliarity is central to the appeal of Fujisaki‘s work. The vivid colors, playful forms and subtle differences created through handmade production allow his works to exist simultaneously within contemporary art, design and toy culture. “MOLnarrative” is the visual narrative of one artist, woven through the material of pipe cleaners. A slightly irregular world created from pipe cleaners, carrying a sense of familiarity and nostalgia. Within these forms lies a curious sense of déjà vu, creating the feeling that we have seen them somewhere before. This familiarity, together with the joy generated by vivid colors, is at the heart of the appeal of pipe cleaner art. The characters and sculptures created through 18 years of working with pipe cleaners are independent objects, but they are also fragments containing the artist‘s thoughts, experiences, memories and the atmosphere of their respective eras. By reconstructing these works along a timeline, this exhibition aims not only to trace the development of pipe cleaner art, but also to reveal how the artist‘s perspective and way of seeing the world have continued to evolve. There are no absolute boundaries between pop culture, toy culture, design and art. Fujisaki moves freely across these fields through his own sculptural language, allowing his works to intersect with the memories and emotions of each viewer and generate new narratives. From Art to Fashion: Expanding the Possibilities of Fujisaki‘s Practice TAKUMA FUJISAKI‘s work is not confined to conventional exhibition spaces. In recent years, his distinctive pipe cleaner-based visual language and highly recognizable creative universe have increasingly attracted attention from brands and creative fields across Japan and overseas. In August 2026, Fujisaki collaborated with renowned Japanese fashion label COMME des GARÇONS HOMME on “COMME des GARÇONS HOMME × TAKUMA FUJISAKI MOGOLS,” creating collaborative art pieces for the brand‘s 2026 Autumn/Winter collection. The collaboration features art charms handmade from black pipe cleaners, bringing Fujisaki‘s distinctive sculptural language together with the aesthetic world of COMME des GARÇONS HOMME. Each piece was made entirely from pipe cleaners and handcrafted by TAKUMA FUJISAKI. The quiet strength of black, combined with the subtle variations inherent in handmade production, gives every piece its own expression and unique presence. Designed to be attached to bags and garments, the pieces can also be enjoyed as small standalone objects. The collaboration further demonstrates the versatility of Fujisaki‘s artistic language across different media and contexts. From gallery exhibitions to fashion products, and from independent artworks to wearable objects, pipe cleaners have become far more than a craft material. They have become a defining medium through which Fujisaki expresses his artistic vision. MOGOLS: A Distinctive Artistic Universe Born from Pipe Cleaner Art Through pipe cleaner-based creation, Fujisaki gradually developed his own characters and visual universe, which evolved into the distinctive art IP MOGOLS. MOGOLS is more than a character design project. It is a visual universe that has emerged through Fujisaki‘s long-term artistic practice. Beginning with pipe cleaner characters, the MOGOLS world has expanded into three-dimensional artworks, SOFVI art toys, collectibles and cross-disciplinary collaborations. Within Fujisaki‘s practice, pipe cleaners function as both material and language. Rather than treating the material solely as a traditional craft medium, he has continuously experimented with its physical qualities and transformed it into a highly recognizable artistic medium. From material to form, from form to character, and from character to an expanding art IP, Fujisaki continues to explore new connections between artistic expression and contemporary commercial culture. This approach has brought increasing attention from the fields of art, fashion, design and art toys, positioning Fujisaki as an artist to watch within Japan‘s contemporary art and emerging culture scene.
