Paris, France - October 03, 2024 - (SeaPRwire) - On September 18, 2024, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées became the stage for an extraordinary fusion of business acumen, cultural diplomacy, and artistic expression as Omar Harfouch, a successful entrepreneur and celebrated pianist, unveiled his "Concerto for Peace." Recognising that both markets and societies thrive on cooperation as much as competition, Harfouch aimed to leverage his global platform to inspire unity in a world increasingly marked by division. The event sought not only to engage audiences through music but to foster dialogue on the essential role of cross-cultural collaboration in building a more stable and interconnected global landscape. Harfouch, a highly successful businessman as well as an accomplished musician, has had a career that spans multiple sectors. His business success, as he expressed during the event, has allowed him to pursue ventures like the "Concerto for Peace" as a way of giving back. Reflecting on his journey, Harfouch explained that while competition has driven much of his professional life, he has come to recognise that cooperation is equally essential—not just for business, but for the broader social and economic well-being of communities. His performance aimed to reinforce this message, using music as a tool to foster understanding and collaboration between cultures. A Cultural Diplomacy Initiative with Global Resonance The "Concerto for Peace" is not just a musical performance—it's an embodiment of Harfouch's belief in the power of cultural diplomacy. He has long been an advocate for using the arts to bridge divides, and this event sought to highlight the need for cross-cultural cooperation. The concert's fusion of classical Western and oriental musical styles symbolized the blending of different cultures, emphasizing the shared human values that transcend borders. The 60-piece Orchestre Béziers Méditerranée, led by conductor Mathieu Bonnin, was a critical part of this artistic endeavour. Alongside violinist Anne Gravoin and co-orchestrator Houtaf Khoury, the orchestra's performance captivated the audience, who responded enthusiastically throughout the evening. Harfouch opened the concert with "Fantaisie Orientale," a vibrant piece that blends the sounds of the East and West. The audience was immediately engaged, with the piece receiving such enthusiastic applause that it was performed again. This interplay of musical traditions highlighted the broader message of unity that Harfouch wanted to communicate—that through cooperation and shared experiences, people from different backgrounds can come together in harmony. One of the concert's most striking elements was the symbolic gesture of the entire orchestra performing while wearing sunglasses, a nod to Harfouch's signature style. Harfouch explained that the sunglasses represented light as a beacon of hope, driving away the darkness of hatred and division. This visual metaphor added depth to the concert's message, reminding the audience that light—whether literal or symbolic—has the power to dispel negativity. A Global Call for Cooperation Harfouch's personal journey, from business success to cultural ambassador, gave the evening additional significance. Having been fortunate in life, he sees this initiative as his way of giving back to society. Drawing on his experience in both business and the arts, Harfouch shared how he has learned that cooperation is just as vital as competition in building a healthy society. The concert was a reflection of this philosophy, aiming to inspire collective action toward peace. The evening's program continued with "Tripoli," a deeply personal piece dedicated to Harfouch's hometown in Lebanon. Accompanied by video footage of the city's architecture and scenes of his wife Yulia, the performance emphasized the meeting of East and West, symbolizing how cultural fusion can lead to beauty and understanding. The emotional weight of the performance resonated with the audience, who remained captivated throughout. The night's defining moment came with the performance of "You Save One Life, You Save Humanity," a composition that draws from both the Talmud and the Qur'an. This powerful piece underscored the universal value of human life, regardless of religion or nationality. The message resonated deeply with the audience, which included diplomats and religious leaders from a variety of backgrounds. Music as a Path to Harmony The climax of the evening was Harfouch's much-anticipated "Concerto for Peace," a piece that conveyed the emotional journey from conflict to harmony. The concerto's movements reflected the tension that often accompanies efforts toward peace, but also the resolution and hope that can arise from cooperative efforts. Harfouch's expressions throughout the performance captured both the pain of conflict and the joy of resolution, leaving a lasting impact on the audience. As the final notes of the concerto rang out, the audience rose to their feet in a standing ovation. Harfouch then addressed the crowd, saying, "Now it is time for you to respond to the call for peace." A choir of 30 singers lined the aisles, delivering a harmony that echoed the concert's central message: peace is not an abstract concept, but something that requires active participation from everyone. Looking Ahead: A Global Tour Reflecting on the concert's success, Harfouch remarked, "Music has the power to bring people together in ways that words sometimes cannot. My hope is that this 'Concerto for Peace' will inspire not only cooperation but action." The "Concerto for Peace" tour is scheduled to continue, with upcoming performances at the Vatican, the United Nations in Geneva, and the Italian Parliament. Harfouch's vision is clear: to use music as a medium to unite people, foster understanding, and inspire global cooperation. In a world increasingly divided by political and social tensions, Harfouch's initiative serves as a reminder that art can be a powerful force for change. About Concerto for Peace "Concerto for Peace" is a global musical initiative founded by pianist, composer, and humanitarian Omar Harfouch. The project brings together musicians and artists from around the world to promote peace and unity through music. With performances across major cities, it strives to create cultural dialogues that inspire understanding, empathy, and reconciliation.Contact InformationContact: Concert for Peace TeamOrganisation: Concerto Pour La PaixEmail: team@concertopourlapaix.orgWebsite: https://omarharfouch.com03/10/2024 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

RaffAello Partners with Templeton to Illuminate AI Rising StarsAt the end of September 2024, Hong Kong stocks experienced a dramatic rebound, with the Hang Seng Index surging back above 20,000 points and achieving a record single-day trading volume exceeding HKD 445.7 billion, marking one of the most active trading days in the history of Hong Kong equities. Concurrently, in the latest global financial center rankings, Hong Kong has returned to the top three, reinstating the "Nylonkong" dynamic, which underscores the robust capital-raising capabilities of Hong Kong stocks.Previously, renowned U.S. hedge fund manager David Tepper advocated for acquiring all China-related assets. However, earlier on, RaffAello Securities (HK) Ltd., known as the designated agent for tycoons, had quietly taken action to assist enterprises in expanding and strengthening their operations.The latest company to leverage RaffAello’s expertise to enhance its market presence is Shenzhen HQVT Technology Co., Ltd. (“HQVT”). As a leading firm specializing in AI algorithms and products in China, HQVT plays a crucial role in big data by comprehensively perceiving the physical world and making informed decisions. Collaborating with world-renowned experts in artificial intelligence, optical systems, operating systems, and file systems, HQVT continuously explores various domains within smart cities. The company has developed over 100 algorithms utilizing deep learning techniques across multiple spectra, including visible light, near-infrared, far-infrared, acoustic waves, millimeter waves, and terahertz, garnering widespread acclaim across various projects.HQVT's partners include Alibaba Cloud, China Railway Group (HKSE: 0390), CRRC Corporation (HKSE: 1766), and SenseTime (HKSE: 0020).Earlier this year, during one of the market's most challenging periods, RaffAello successfully raised USD 10 million for the Hong Kong fashion label Paprika, with investors including Franklin Templeton’s Asia Pacific Structured Equity Fund LPF, showcasing RaffAello's impressive fundraising capabilities.HQVT has previously completed multiple rounds of financing, with investors such as Shenzhen HTI Group and Shenzhen Fountain Investment Management Ltd. Additionally, Zheshang Venture Capital Co., Ltd. (NEEQ: 834089), listed on the New Third Board, has participated in two rounds of financing, further indicating that HQVT's potential has yet to be fully realized.In this latest venture, the RaffAello Opportunity Fund and Asia Pacific Structured Equity Fund will each invest HKD 75 million, becoming shareholders in HQVT and joining forces with prominent Chinese investment institutions. Over the years, RaffAello has successfully introduced significant family capital from notable figures such as Henderson’s Peter Lee and CK Life Sciences into a number of Hong Kong-listed companies, including China Wantian Holdings Ltd., Zhuguang Holdings Group Company Limited, and Purapharm Corporation Limited, thereby earning its reputation as the "Tycoon Designated Agent."As global competition in AI intensifies, HQVT is poised to emerge as a new star for China's artificial intelligence on the international stage.30/09/2024 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

Newborn Town has been included in two FTSE indices in this adjustment. The inclusion is expected to further enhance the company's visibility and influence in the international capital markets and attract global funds tracking these indices for stock purchases.FTSE Russell is the world's second-largest index provider, with its index products covering over 70 countries and regions, totaling about US$20 trillion in assets benchmarked against its index products. The FTSE Global Stock Index Series includes more than 19,000 stocks from 49 developed and emerging markets worldwide, making it one of the most authoritative global stock indexes.Companies included in the FTSE GEIS index must demonstrate outstanding performance in listing compliance, profitability, corporate governance, high liquidity, and growth potential.

EQS Newswire / 19/09/2024 / 09:30 MSKSolidcore Resources plc (“Solidcore” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Board of Directors has approved the construction of green energy power plants at Varvara mine.“Our path to net zero along with Kazakhstan’s decarbonisation efforts underpin Solidcore’s full transition to clean energy sources. Today the Board approved the construction of solar and gas power plants at Varvara, which will result in significant carbon footprint and energy cost reductions”, said Vitaly Nesis, Group CEO of Solidcore Resources plc.The Company plans to invest approximately US$ 55 million in the construction of a 23 MW solar power plant and a 40 MW gas piston power plant at Varvara. The gas piston station aims to maintain a steady power supply by balancing uneven solar energy generation. The plants are expected to be launched in Q2 2026 and will almost fully replace third-party electricity from coal power stations, reducing dependence on external power sources and mitigating the impact of rising energy tariffs. Next year, the Board will be considering construction of a 17 MW solar power plant at Kyzyl. With its commissioning planned by the end of 2026, both of the Company’s mines will switch from purchased grid to self-generated clean energy, leading to a projected 27% reduction in the Company’s GHG emissions compared to 2023.
