SafetySam Launches New Product for Fire Hazard Mitigation

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 August 2025 – SafetySam, a provider of PPE and safety equipment, has introduced the Bridgehill Fire Blanket in Singapore. This fire containment solution is designed to address fire hazards involving electric vehicles (EVs), lithium-ion batteries, and high-temperature industrial machinery, where conventional methods such as water, foam, or powder may be less effective or pose additional hazards. How the Technology Works The Bridgehill Fire Blanket uses a dual approach of oxygen deprivation and thermal insulation. Its advanced, high-performance fibres withstand temperatures up to 1,600°C. Once deployed, the blanket is tested to reduce core temperatures from 1,100°C to under 400°C in 30 seconds. This not only suppresses flames but also traps hazardous gases such as hydrogen fluoride, a dangerous by-product of lithium battery fires. Its flexible, non-stick structure allows just two people to deploy it in under 20 seconds. For workplaces with forklifts, scooters, or lithium tools, the Bridgehill Fire Blanket reduces downtime, minimises the release of toxic gas, and protects adjacent stock and structures from secondary ignition. Watch here: Bridgehill Fire Blanket in Action – Safely Extinguish Fires in Seconds Purpose-Built for Modern Fire Hazards Most fire blankets are intended for small kitchen or clothing fires. The Bridgehill Fire Blanket is engineered for large, complex fire scenarios, including: EVs and conventional vehicles Lithium-ion battery storage and recycling facilities Electric forklifts, e-scooters, and battery-powered tools High-temperature machinery in industrial settings SafetySam offers two product lines: Single-Use Blanket – Recommended for public and commercial facilities. Pro X Reusable Blanket – Designed for emergency responders, with durability for up to 30 deployments and repairable via included kits. Rising Risks, Urgent Solutions With EV adoption accelerating, lithium-ion battery demand is projected to grow 27% annually to 4,700 GWh by 2030. Thermal runaways from these lithium-ion battery fire hazards can reach 2,760°C, far exceeding the melting points of concrete and steel structures. They may also release high volumes of toxic smoke. “Emerging technologies like EVs bring new fire hazards that traditional firefighting tools cannot fully address,” said Jeffrey Seah, General Manager at PDS International. “The Bridgehill Fire Blanket is a decisive, zero-damage first-response solution that empowers facilities, first responders, and even homeowners to act fast and protect lives, property, and the environment.” Complementary Safety Measures This launch complements SafetySam’s comprehensive battery safety equipment, which includes Emtez Safety Cabinets for Lithium-Ion Batteries, New Pig Obsidian Pillows for absorbing electrolyte leaks, and Transport Storage Boxes for safe battery transit and storage. The company is also conducting information sessions and demonstrations with industry groups, facilities managers, and emergency services to raise awareness of fire hazards associated with emerging technologies and to discuss potential mitigation strategies.

8Wonder: Moments of Wonder: Where Music Pens the Spirit of a Flourishing Vietnam, and the Will to Soar

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 August 2025 – On the evening of August 23, the National Exhibition Fair Center (Hanoi) was transformed into a pulsating heart of sound and light. More than 50,000 people were swept away by the “8Wonder: Moments of Wonder 2025” music festival, a spectacular event organized by the Vingroup as part of the official celebrations for the 80th anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day. An Unforgettable Night of Unity and Emotion “8Wonder demonstrates Vingroup’s serious investment in making Vietnam a cultural destination for the region,” said Dinh Tuan Dat, a performing arts expert who has followed the festival since its inception in 2023. “I particularly loved the duet between Tlinh and J Balvin. It’s a truly memorable moment, a Vietnamese artist collaborating with an international star on stage. It feels like the first step for Vietnam’s entertainment industry onto the global stage.” From the moment the lights flashed on and the first deep bass notes reverberated through the air, the vast venue became an “emotional universe.” Multi-layered LED screens and laser beams cut across the night sky, creating a breathtaking visual spectacle. The music was a full-body experience, with every bass drop felt as much as heard. S(TRONG) Trong Hieu kicked off the night with his powerful vocals on the song Kho bau (Treasure), opening the floodgates of emotion. The night was peppered with performances that resonated deeply with the national celebratory mood. A highlight was Hoa Minzy’s rendition of Bac Bling, where she was joined on stage by over 200 schoolchildren dressed in the red and gold of the Vietnamese flag. The crowd chanted her name, a testament to the powerful connection the Bac Ninh native forged with the audience. The energy soared when singer Soobin appeared in a stylized ao dai, a traditional Vietnamese tunic. He began with his song Nguoi Viet (The Vietnamese), standing amidst a sea of light from thousands of cell phones. “Are you proud to be Vietnamese?” he asked the crowd. The resounding, thunderous cheer was a declaration, a moment when music transcended the stage to become a collective proclamation of national identity. According to performing arts expert Dinh Tuan Dat, Vingroup’s organizers masterfully wove a subtle message into Soobin’s performance. “The notes from the dan bau [a traditional Vietnamese monochord] he played on the 8Wonder stage brought the audience back to their roots,” Dat observed. “Then the modern piano and beat brought them back to the present, a powerful metaphor for Vietnamese culture reaching the global stage.” The atmosphere shifted dramatically when DPR IAN took the stage, his hypnotic voice and captivating presence electrifying the crowd. During hits like Don’t Go Insane and Limbo, the energy peaked when he stepped into the crowd, accepted a conical hat (non la), and wore it while playing his bass guitar. The climax arrived with the explosive collaboration between Tlinh and J Balvin. The stage was a kaleidoscope of color, a “Latin carnival,” as Tlinh’s energetic rap blended seamlessly with the Latin music icon’s vibrant beats. The audience danced, cheered, and waved Vietnamese flags. It was a fiery performance, but for industry watchers, it was a historic moment: a Vietnamese artist standing shoulder-to-shoulder with a global superstar, not as a background act but as an equal. In that instant, the dream of “Made in Vietnam – Heard Worldwide” no longer seemed distant, but a tangible reality on the 8Wonder stage. A Strategic Vision for Vietnam’s Cultural Future Looking back at the entire event, it’s clear that 8Wonder was not just a concert but a strategic cultural statement. Every detail, from the choice of artists and musical concepts to the international collaborations, reflected a long-term vision: to bring Vietnamese culture to the world using the universal language of music and art. When Hoa Minzy performed Bac Bling with schoolchildren in the national colors, and when Tlinh and J Balvin waved the Vietnamese flag, they transformed traditional elements into modern art that resonated with both young audiences and the international community. “Each performance at 8Wonder was a cultural slice,” said Dinh Tuan Dat. “It both honored national values and paved the way for international integration.” As an event celebrating the 80th National Day, 8Wonder had an even deeper significance. The stage at the National Exhibition Fair Center became a space where Vietnamese and international artists could collaborate, sing, and create together. Dr. Bui Quoc Viet, a former member of the Independent Advisory Council of the Vietnam Tourism Association, noted that “8Wonder created a two-way street, bringing the world to Vietnam and Vietnam to the world.” He added that the festival solidified “Vietnam’s position as a leading destination for festivals and entertainment in the region.” Dr. Viet concluded that for Vingroup, 8Wonder was more than just a demonstration of its ability to organize a major international event. It was about the company’s commitment to supporting the nation’s development, choosing to contribute to cultural growth. By creating an international stage for Vietnamese artists, the company helped build cultural value, foster a sense of national pride, and fuel the ambition for Vietnam to reach beyond its borders. The festival ended with a brilliant fireworks display, a joyous crescendo to the National Day celebration. Beyond the lights and the music, 8Wonder: Moments of Wonder 2025 became a new symbol, a symbol of pride, of integration, and, above all, of a strong, ambitious Vietnam moving forward with the world.

Preview of the 2025 CIFTIS: Key Highlights Revealed in Advance

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 August 2025 – The Shougang Park, a former industrial site transformed into an “urban showcase,” will welcome the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (2025 CIFTIS) this September. The annual theme of this year’s event is “Embrace Intelligent Technologies, Empower Trade in Services,” with over 800 companies already expressing interest in participating offline. The Shougang Park, photographed on August 11 by Zhang Chenlin, Xinhua News Agency. With less than a month remaining before the opening of CIFTIS, how are preparations progressing, and what new highlights can be expected from the exhibitions? Reporters conducted on-site visits for a closer look. More Open: New Entry Policies to Facilitate International Engagement It was learned that exhibitor recruitment for both the thematic and specialized exhibitions has been largely completed. Nearly 70 countries and international organizations have indicated their intention to participate by setting up booths or hosting events. The nine major specialized exhibitions have attracted interest from more than 800 companies to exhibit offline, including over 330 Fortune Global 500 companies and leading industry enterprises. The overall internationalization rate of the exhibition exceeds 20%, covering 24 of the top 30 countries and regions in global service trade. Yang Huasen, Spokesperson of Beichen Group, stated that over 170 forums, conferences, and promotional events have already been scheduled. More than 70 companies, including Schneider Electric, have applied to release over 130 new products and achievements during the event. To further facilitate international engagement, this year’s CIFTIS continues to expand on entry facilitation measures initiated last year, such as setting up immigration service counters at the venue. This year, seven new convenience measures will be implemented, including: allowing foreign participants with official invitations to apply for port visas at Beijing Capital International Airport and Beijing Daxing International Airport; offering online accommodation registration services for foreign visitors; and streamlining the business travel filing process for Chinese enterprises attending events in Hong Kong and Macau.

Hong Kong’s Brains, Qianhai’s Muscle: Shenzhen’s Blueprint for Global Innovators

SHENZHEN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 August 2025 – August 26 is the 45th anniversary of the establishment of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. In Qianhai, Shenzhen, a collaboration model dubbed “Hong Kong’s Brains, Qianhai’s Muscle” by numerous entrepreneurs is continuously fueling the innovation wave in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). Cutting-edge academic ideas and international frontier research are nurtured in Hong Kong’s laboratories, while Qianhai, just across the river, serves as the core engine that ignites, amplifies, and commercializes these intellectual sparks. With its robust industrial transformation capabilities, open policy environment, and mature industrial chain, Qianhai has bridged the gap between research and market application. Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Innovation and Entrepreneur Hub In 2024, to mark the 10th anniversary of the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Innovation and Entrepreneur Hub (hereinafter referred to as the “E-hub”), Qianhai introduced the innovative “1510 Development Model”, which includes measures such as “HKD 1 for entry and incubation, a HKD 500 million fund, and 100,000 square meters of industrial space”. As of July 31, 2025, the E-hub has hosted 535 teams, incubated a total of 79 national high-tech enterprises, and held the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition for nine consecutive years. Qianhai has become a magnet for Hong Kong’s young entrepreneurial teams, whose success stories go beyond physical incubation spaces. They embody a cross-border innovation ecosystem where Hong Kong’s cutting-edge intellect merges with Qianhai’s dynamic execution power. This is underpinned by a series of pioneering policies and measures, such as China’s first fast-track grant program for cross-border patents and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao International Technology Transfer Center. Among these success stories is INSPRO, founded by Hong Kong youth Elvis Yu. His entrepreneurial vision,which began in a Hong Kong laboratory, aims to address global protein shortages and waste disposal challenges through an industrialized insect bioconversion system that transforms organic waste into high-value protein. After establishing its base in the E-hub in 2020, the company fully leveraged Qianhai’s support in talent introduction, startup costs, and tax incentives. Today, it is running a 40,000-square-meter smart factory that processes 30 metric tons of organic waste daily, with its protein feed products exported to North American markets. Another beneficiary of this innovation hub is i2Cool, which originated from a team at City University of Hong Kong. Amidst deepening Shenzhen-Hong Kong connectivity, the company adopted a distinctive development model of “R&D in Hong Kong and commercialization in Shenzhen” to fully leverage the strengths of both regions. Within three years, the company transformed its technology into multi-dimensional green cooling solutions covering coatings, window films, rolled materials, and textiles, with a cumulative application area exceeding 400,000 square meters. Prevision, a company specializing in AI-powered visual inspection, was founded by a team from the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Company Limited (ASTRI). This March, attracted by Qianhai’s innovative “1510 Development Model”, the company relocated to the E-hub. By leveraging the office space and customized renovation support under the “HKD 1 for entry and incubation” mechanism, the company has managed to reduce operational costs, intensify R&D efforts, and accelerate technology application. This case vividly demonstrates the positive impact of Qianhai’s policies on sci-tech innovation development in the GBA. Behind the success of these companies is the robust support of Qianhai’s cross-border innovation ecosystem. Specifically, a full-chain legal service system has been established to assist companies in accessing intellectual property services for rights confirmation, protection, and commercialization. A cross-border data verification platform has been created to ensure compliant data flow between Shenzhen and Hong Kong and serve as a digital bridge connecting domestic and international markets. Qianhai Avenue As these ecological advantages continue to deepen, Qianhai is presenting an increasingly clear and compelling blueprint to global innovators. As the “bridgehead” of Shenzhen-Hong Kong cooperation, Qianhai has built a cross-border data verification platform to facilitate data flow in sectors such as healthcare and finance. 26 categories of professionals from Hong Kong and Macao, including registered architects, tax consultants, and tour guides, are allowed to practice in Qianhai upon registration without taking qualification exams in the Chinese mainland. Considerable support has been offered to Hong Kong and Macao universities in establishing incubation institutions and funds to accelerate the commercialization of research results. Supported by equity trading platforms and empowerment centers, a number of professional institutions in accounting, consulting, and other fields have gathered here to help Hong Kong enterprises integrate into the mainland market. The Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Legal Services District has been established to ensure alignment with relevant regulations and safeguard cross-border rights and interests. All these measures have perfectly bridged regulatory differences, thereby enabling the seamless integration of “Hong Kong’s Brains” and “Qianhai’s Muscle”. Qianhai isn’t just a land of opportunity—it’s a stage where global innovators shine. The district is forging its distinct characters of “Hong Kong flair, an international vibe, coastal charm, modernity, and futurism”. The future of cross-border innovation is gradually turning into a tangible reality through every connection, every policy, and every entrepreneurial story in Qianhai.
