SLF uses ToolsGroup SO99+ to plan daily forecasting, inventory optimization, and replenishment for approximately 2500 active items across more than 30 retail stores and two distribution centers in its Greece and Cyprus network, with plans to expand to Bulgaria and Romania.

THellas customized SO99+ to provide systems integration and tailored capabilities, including assortment plans and minimum presentation quantities at the location-couvet level. The implementation supports the creation of ideal inventory targets compared to current operational levels and business parameters, using SO99+ modeling to demonstrate financial optimization opportunities. “The system has revolutionized our operations, automating daily store replenishment plans for Greece and Cyprus, while generating purchase recommendations for our team. Strategically, it helps us identify optimal inventory targets, balancing our current practices with supply chain limitations. SO99+'s success has motivated us to expand SO99+ to our other operating countries” noted Goldie Panovlepi, General Manager at SLF, highlighting the solution's benefits. “Our collaboration with THellas during the SO99+ implementation was exceptional. They provided invaluable insights on optimizing the system's setup and seamlessly integrating it with our ERP.

LOBO Technologies Wants To Have It All With Line Of Electric Mobility Products, And Investors Seem To Be Taking Notice Of Its Expansion Plans

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga From bikes to scooters, the electric vehicle market is taking off, driven by greater awareness around the benefits of EVs, demand for better mobility solutions in dense urban settings and supportive government policies. As a result, the global e-bike, e-trike and e-scooter industry is forecast to reach $77.6 billion by the end of 2028, growing at a CAGR of 11.6%. LOBO Has It All For players in this market, going after just one area of the EV industry can be a big opportunity, but operating in it all including e-bicycles, e-mopeds, e-tricycles and electric off-highway four-wheeled shuttles, plus offering automobile information and entertainment software on top of that, can be game-changing. That is exactly what LOBO Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: LOBO) is doing. The Chinese EV manufacturer has a multi-pronged approach to dominate the market with its wide range of electric mobility vehicles. LOBO, which already has an established track record, is aiming to be an OEM and ODM leader in the intelligent urban e-bike, e-trike and off-highway four-wheeled electric vehicles (EVs) market over the next decade by making EVs tailored for various demographics, including mobility solutions for the elderly and disabled. The company follows an asset-light business model through which it leverages its just-in-time production model to align supply and demand trends and minimize excess inventory. To keep margins high, the company outsources the production of some models that are more costly to make in-house. Innovating In The Marketplace LOBO is an innovator in the industry, leveraging advanced technologies in connectivity, multimedia, interactive systems and artificial intelligence to enhance users’ experiences and stand out from its rivals. Take its recently launched solar-powered electric tricycle for one example. It is equipped with high-quality solar panels designed to capture and convert the sun's energy, providing continuous power to the tricycle's electric motor. This environmentally friendly tricycle helps reduce carbon emissions, is cost-effective and is easy to maintain, reports LOBO. Then there is its “King of the Load” e-trike, which is a special-purpose vehicle designed for commuters and delivery services. These e-trikes are not just vehicles but also powerful tools that empower users by providing a means of livelihood, which LOBO says is especially critical in developing countries for increasing income and improving quality of life. Overseas Expansion LOBO is also focusing on growing its footprint, going after emerging markets seeing increased interest in EVs. That includes ASEAN countries, Eastern Europe – including Serbia, Bulgaria and Ukraine – and Latin America. That cushions the blow from any slowdown in China. All of those markets are growing for LOBO, particularly in Latin America. Earlier this month, LOBO announced it received its largest single order for e-bikes this year, including electric tricycles, electric bicycles and its newly introduced solar-powered electric tricycles, from Ecuadorian resellers. “Latin America is one of several global markets we’ve targeted for rapid expansion, and this latest order from Ecuador is a testament to our growing footprint and the strong demand for our products in this region,” said CEO Huajian Xu. So far in 2024, LOBO says it has consistently received orders for e-bikes and e-trikes from Latin American dealers in Brazil, Chile, Suriname and other countries. This week LOBO hosted one of Brazil’s top ten electric mobility dealers, which it had been doing business with for about a year. Following the visit, which included a site inspection, the dealer, which generates more than $8 million a year in sales of short-distance electric vehicles, has determined it will consolidate its production and procurement with LOBO. Up until now, it had used several Chinese manufactures. “The Brazilian team was particularly impressed with our new model electric tricycles and small four-wheeled elderly mobility vehicle samples. They closely examined the detailed design and craftsmanship, praising our R&D and manufacturing capabilities. The on-the-spot discussions about specific vehicle orders indicate their strong intent to form a close cooperative partnership,” said Xu. LOBO has been steadily gaining share over the past few years in Latin America and elsewhere, which it credits to its ongoing investment in R&D. That enables LOBO to develop products that resonate with the masses and provide a greener alternative. That is particularly important in the new markets LOBO is going after. Not only are its EVs cheaper than gas-powered vehicles, they can have a huge positive impact on global warming. They don’t add to emissions and can replace cars in many instances. In the U.S., three-fourths of all trips are ten miles or less, highlighting the utility of EVs. Manufacturing Might Beyond expanding its footprint, LOBO is beefing up its manufacturing so that it can quickly and affordably churn out innovative e-bikes, e-scooters and other green mobility vehicles. Case in point: proceeds from its $5.5 million IPO in March went to expand capacity in a new factory in Wuxi by 20%. That is the equivalent of $27 million in product, LOBO reports. Investors seem to have been taking notice of all these positive developments, with shares of LOBO recently jumping 16.4% over its order from Ecuador and overall growth. At last check, LOBO has 150 distributors in China and 60 spread out around the result of the world. LOBO plans to expand into two to five more countries this year and strike more partnerships. Given its expansion plans, LOBO’s recent run may not be over yet. Featured photo by Maixent Viau on Unsplash.

News Release

Oworkers Celebrates a Decade of Excellence in Multilingual BPO Services

Prodigy Press Wire

Oworkers, a leading provider of business process outsourcing (BPO) services, commemorates 10 years of providing top-notch solutions designed to meet its clientele's diverse needs. Founder Stephane Guillemin has propelled the company to the forefront of the industry, positioning it as a global leader in socially responsible outsourcing. Initially, Oworkers focused on providing data entry and processing services in its nascent stages. It immediately gained momentum, expanding its service portfolio and including content moderation and artificial intelligence-related (AI) services, such as annotation. This development enabled Oworkers to become a frontrunner in delivering BPO solutions customized to meet the shifting needs of its clients. Its team of seasoned experts with over 25 years of collective experience in the industry allows Oworkers to serve clients from various industries and sectors, from aggregators and marketplaces to Commerce platforms and AI companies. In 2017, Oworkers obtained ISO 9001 certification, showcasing its commitment to quality and adhering to international standards. It also attained ISO 27001 accreditation four years later. It is significant to note that throughout its remarkable journey, the company has established delivery centers in strategic locations across the globe. Oworkers capitalized on Antananarivo, Madagascar's growing reputation as a prime destination for data processing outsourcing services and focused on French and basic English projects. The region then became the center of the firm's operations, known for its cost-effectiveness and high-quality deliverables. The innovative outsourcing company also found an ideal setting for its multilingual BPO operations in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, in 2020. The city boasts Europe's lowest operating costs and a pool of highly skilled multilingual talents, making it an ideal location for Oworkers to continue its mission of solidifying its position as a premier BPO solutions provider within the Eurozone. Oworkers also seized the opportunity to leverage Cairo, Egypt's rich talent pool and favorable business environment, and established another multilingual BPO services center. Because of its diverse workforce proficient in Arabic, English, Italian, Spanish, Greek, and Turkish, Oworkers' Cairo headquarters became renowned for its efficiency, reliability, and outstanding linguistic capabilities. Besides its initiatives for growth and expansion, Oworkers stands out for its commitment to the well-being of its employees. "Many BPO providers fail to prioritize the welfare of their annotators. We at Oworkers recognize that our success relies on our employees. We do our best to create a conducive work environment for them. This means a great work atmosphere, a balanced work-life ratio, and no overtime demands," Guillemin supplies. Oworkers' low employee turnover rate, which stands at 1.7% in 2023 compared to the industry average of around 20%, attests to the company's success in fulfilling its mission of prioritizing its employees' well-being, professional development, and overall welfare. This high retention rate is one of the drivers of Oworkers' long-term stability and growth. The company also demonstrates dedication to socially responsible outsourcing practices by employing full-time staff rather than freelancers or subcontractors. Because it operates in countries like Madagascar and Egypt, where the majority of its workforce consists of women, Oworkers helps empower countless families to break free from the cycle of poverty and achieve a higher standard of living. As it celebrates its 10th anniversary, Oworkers looks forward to continuing its journey of innovation and redefining the standards of excellence in the BPO industry. "We promise to remain dedicated to delivering value-driven solutions that drive operational efficiency and enhance client satisfaction," Guillemin assures.

Online Slots Singapore - Play The Best Slot Online SG

AM Mediterranean

Are you looking for the best real money slots and slots sites in Singapore? Then look no further. Essentially, real money slot games provide Singaporean players with the opportunity to win big real money prizes from the comfort of their homes. Unsurprisingly, this form of gambling has gained a lot more attention in the past three years. Here, we look at everything you need to know to get started… the best slots sites, odds, payouts, progressive jackpots, support, tips, tricks and more. Best Online Slots Sites Singapore Gembet Casino - Best Online Slot Site SG 7Bit Casino - Best Overall Slot Collections LuckyBlock Casino - Best Slot Machine Cash Drop MB8 - Best Jackpot Slot Games Me88 Casino - Trendy Online Slot Games Mirax Casino - Best Casino Welcome Bonus for Slots 1xBet Casino - Best Slot Casino with Sportsbook MyStake - JILI Slot Games SG Katsubet - Best Customer Service for SG Players How We Pick the Best Real Money Slots Sites We make sure that for each slots site we look at, we follow a multi-step process. To successfully evaluate casino operators for Singaporean players, we check out various features including: Ease of registration Payment methods Bonuses User experience Slots and game selection Software providers Betting limits Customer support RTP Certification and licences. Our first and main focus is on operating licences… and if the operator lacks a valid one, it goes no further. Licences signify that they have been given official approval by stringent governing bodies- meaning fairness and trustworthiness. Subsequently, we look at bonuses, promotions, and VIP memberships to gauge how well the site treats its players. The list of software providers and games helps us determine the casino's size and the entertainment value you can look forward to. Finally, we test out the customer service - to ensure you can rely on assistance as and when needed. How to Pick the Right Slot to Play So, you’ve picked your slots site… but how do you pick the right game to get started on? Well, before playing for real money, it's crucial to acquaint yourself with game features through free demo versions of the games, which are available at most online slots sites in Singapore. While the visual appeal may capture your attention initially, there are other factors to consider when deciding whether or not to spend money on the game. These include: Payout Percentage - RTP Maximum Prize Paytable Betting Range Free Spins Bonus Rounds When opting for real casino slots, checking the payout percentage ensures you are playing on a slot that pays out a decent amount in winnings. You should also consider the allowed betting range to make sure it caters to your budget. Additionally, look for information about free spins and bonus rounds, which can increase the fun - and the winning potential. Online Slots - Odds and Payouts When starting in the world of online slot machines, payouts and odds become crucial aspects you need to know about. RTP The key focus should be on RTP, which is the Return to Player Ratio. This signifies the percentage of money returned by the provider (the higher the percentage, the better). Make sure the RTP is clearly advertised, and a useful tip is to steer clear of games with low RTP. If you spot an RTP below 95%, it's advisable to avoid that operator - unless it is a progressive jackpot game as these tend to have lower RTPs. Typically, the average RTP should be between 96 to 98%, with rare cases reaching 99%. Volatility Volatility is another frequently encountered term in the online casino industry, signifying the level of risk in a game or, simply put, how often you can expect to win in a single session. High and low volatility are common classifications… where high volatility slots offer fewer wins, but they are bigger wins when they do arrive. Conversely, low volatility slots deliver smaller but more frequent payouts. Everything Else You Need to Know About Online Slot Games In the world of online slot machines, it's absolutely essential that you understand key elements such as paylines, pay tables, scatters, and wilds: Paylines: These are the positions or lines on which the symbols need to land in order to hit a winning combination. There can be anywhere between 1 and hundreds of thousands of paylines depending on the game. Normally, you require 3 or more symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel on any of these paylines to score a payout Paytable: This is a chart displaying the win ratios, offering you insights into how to succeed in the game. Checking the paytable before playing is always a good idea, especially for complex real money slot games, as it provides you with instructions on features like wilds, bonuses, and scatters. It also outlines how to achieve the maximum bet for maximum profit. Scatters and Wilds: Scatters, when they land, don't need to land on a payline. As long as three land anywhere on the reels, they often trigger feature rounds and even have their own payouts. Wilds can substitute for any regular symbol to create a winning combination. Getting a wild with four identical symbols on a payline, for instance, results in a combination of five winning symbols. Bonus Rounds and Bonus Features All real money slot games for Singapore players come with all sorts of exciting and unique bonus rounds designed by developers, each game offering its own distinctive experience. Before you get started, it’s a good idea to know the differences between these similar features, so let's break them down for you: Bonus Rounds: Triggered randomly, these often award the biggest prizes without requiring you to spend any extra money to play them. These often take the form of free spins that let you spin the reels again - usually several times and they often come with other features such as multipliers etc. Free Spins: Featured in most casino slots real money games, these spins basically allow you to spin the reels without using your own bankroll, providing an opportunity to win substantial prizes. They are generally triggered by landing 3 or more scatters anywhere on the reels. Bonus Games: Similar to free spins, these randomly triggered games often involve mini-levels where you collect generous prizes and awards. While not all games have bonus games, they can offer seriously decent rewards. Nudges: This feature isn’t that common in online slots, but it involves pushing symbols one or two spaces up or down to form winning combinations. Clusters: There are also Cluster Pays games, where you form wins by grouping them rather than by landing them on adjacent reels on a payline. This simplifies the process even more, enhancing your overall experience and can lead to huge wins. Progressive Jackpot Slots Real money slot machines are hugely popular because they offer the allure of enormous prizes… and progressive jackpots stand out as the most popular avenue for trying to win those substantial sums… that could potentially change your entire life with just one single spin. Progressive jackpot slots, slightly different from regular slot games, collect a portion of every bet that is placed on that particular game, potentially forming massive jackpots contributed to by every player that tried their luck on the game. Each jackpot starts from its seed… which is the minimum guaranteed amount that can be won - and that gradually builds up. With every bet made on the game, a small portion (usually around 5%) contributes to the progressive jackpot. The jackpot can then either be won randomly or won by triggering the jackpot round. Once won, the jackpot will reset and the process repeats. Basically, these slot machines have the potential to change your life. However, it’s important to note with progressives that each game has its own stake requirement, so make sure you pay attention to the minimum stake required to trigger the jackpot. Some games require you to place maximum bets, whilst others allow you to trigger the jackpot no matter what your stake. The Best Slot Game Providers Singaporean casinos offering real money games exclusively partner with some of the most distinguished software providers in the world, like NetEnt, IGT, EGT, Aristocrat Technologies, and Pragmatic Play to name but a few. NetEnt NetEnt, a standout name in the industry with over 15 years of operation and over 71 million daily transactions, boasts some of the most popular slot titles out there - including Gonzo’s Quest, Starburst, Mega Fortune, and Blood Suckers. IGT IGT, another highly reputable provider, has made a name for itself by creating renowned titles such as Texas Tea, Dungeons & Dragons: Treasures of Icewind Dale, Wheel Of Fortune, and Pharaoh’s Fortune - all of which are widely enjoyed by players across various online casinos in Singapore and all over the world. EGT Not to be mistaken for IGT, Euro Games Technology (EGT), hailing from Bulgaria, is recognised for its wide selection of high-quality real money slots like 20 Super Hot, Flaming Hot, 40 Super Hot, and Burning Hot. It has earned a fantastic reputation among Balkan's software providers. Aristocrat Technologies Aristocrat Technologies, founded way back in 1953, is one of the oldest companies in the online gaming industry, operating in over 240 gambling jurisdictions. This is indicative of its stellar reputation and highest quality. Pragmatic Play Pragmatic Play, a hugely popular gambling content provider, is one that prioritises mobile gaming. Their commitment to mobile optimisation ensures that you can expect exceptional compatibility when playing on your mobile device, so you can enjoy the very best quality and experience no matter where you are. Playing Online Slots on Mobile For those looking to enjoy their real money online gambling experience on their mobile device, you’ll be pleased to know that a diverse range of options awaits you, so you won’t need to worry that your slots adventure will be left wanting. Thanks to the ever improving technology and HTML5, Singaporean players no longer need to download any specific dedicated software - instead, they can enjoy the thrills of direct play through their mobile browsers, which makes the whole process even easier. Mobile functionality means that as well as playing all the top games, you can also make deposits, withdrawals, collect bonuses and promotions… and do exactly what you need to do - mirroring the PC experience seamlessly, with automatic screen size adjustments. If you do prefer to download a dedicated app, a mobile slots app operates like any other phone application. It is generally downloadable from the store - and is normally compatible with iOS and Android, and sometimes even with Windows and BlackBerry systems. This flexibility ensures that slots can be enjoyed anywhere and anytime, as long as you have a decent internet connection. While some bonuses may be exclusive to web-based users, others cater specifically to mobile gamblers. The advent of HTML5 has undeniably revolutionised the online casino industry as we know it… particularly within the world of mobile slot sites in Singapore.

Where possible, select a higher number of pay lines for more chances of payouts. Utilise AutoPlay for automated and more efficient gameplay.

Casino777 Pledges Added Focus on Responsible Gambling

impulsQ

The management of Casino de Spa, a famed gambling venue in the picturesque Ardennes region, runs the Casino777 online brand. That is a renowned Internet gaming operator with sites active in the Belgian, Dutch, Swiss, and Spanish markets. Known for its collection of premium games from various top-end studios, the Spanish Casino777 website now seeks to win over game-of-chance enthusiasts via its new-found dedication to robust user protection. The premium Casino777.es hub has recently extended its already favorable reputation for supplying a super-safe environment for Spanish gaming lovers. Its team has now publicly disclosed its novel and deep commitment to informing players about the potential dangers of gambling, hoping to stop them from ever experiencing these repercussions. The brand recognizes that playing slots, roulette, and blackjack is a source of fun for most. Yet, it knows that a small percentage of the population may face addiction issues when enjoying these hobbies. If that occurs, that can influence people's financial, personal, and family well-being. To assist Casino777 gamblers in avoiding these pitfalls, the brand suggests users adhere to their distinct platform guidelines. This Spanish online casino gives extra aid to users to spot when they are going overboard through the use of the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) and NODS questionnaires. The first (SOGS) consists of thirteen questions that aim to sport pathological betting behavior, and the latter questionnaire (NODS), based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, does the same via criteria set by the American Psychiatric Association. Self-exclusion and self-restriction are also live at Casino777.es. These settings include activating self-imposed bans, placing deposit limits, and further control tools. The latter are designed for user protection and can get adjusted to individual requirements. For any questions about these, any Spanish gambler thinking of using Casino777.es from Spain can reach the platform’s staff using their hotline, whose number is +34 931 222 841. Casino777 states that gamblers’ well-being is a top priority, advising everyone to never forget to set limits and forego playing when under the influence of stimulants. The site outright proclaims that users must prioritize maintaining healthy relationships with family and friends over excessive gaming. Hence, their website features a self-assessment through Play Well and additional tests, which become available if needed. Spain’s Post-2020 Devotion to Responsible Gambling In 2020, on the heels of the UKGC launching its mandatory self-exclusion scheme, GamStop, run by the National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited non-for-profit organization, representatives of Spain's autonomous communities, including Ceuta and Melilla, agreed to integrate their individual self-exclusion programs. The goal of the birth of these was to enhance coordinated player protection efforts at local and national levels in Spain. The landmark decision got reached at a meeting chaired by Minister of Consumer Affairs Alberto Garzón at the National Gambling Policy Council. Even with Catalonia opposing the measure and the Basque and Valencian communities abstaining from the vote, it still received majority approval. Self-exclusion programs are now becoming the norm in regulated European markets. In Germany, gamblers can choose to get excluded from online betting activities using the Oasis scheme. Swedes can do so through Spelpaus, and Dutch players can activate a self-imposed ban on Internet betting using the CRUKS, the Centraal Register Uitsluiting Kansspelen. In 2020, Spanish representatives collaborated to develop the regulatory framework required for an integrated self-exclusion program. It marked an initiative in Spain's efforts to strengthen player protection in the gambling sector, something the government has particularly been focusing on for years, expressed primarily through advertising restrictions. After the discussed move, the Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ), or the Spanish National Gambling Commission, noted a 13.6% rise in excluded Spanish gamblers in 2021. In 2022, Spain's market saw another set of significant changes as the Senate approved reforms to the country's 2011 Gambling Law. These amendments got voted in favor by 146 members, and they aimed to enhance controls on betting fraud and deliver greater protection for problem gamblers. The most essential proposal in this amendment batch was the establishment of a central database called the Global Betting Market Research Service, managed by the DGOJ, that would share information with law enforcement, licensed operators, and regional authorities. The new rules also required operators to ensure socially responsible advertisements and notify users of safer gambling information upon entering a gaming/betting website/app. About Casino777.es Founded in 2016, the Spanish version of Casino777 gets operated by Digital Distribution Management Ibérica SA (a Casino de Spa subsidiary/partner). It is an online gambling site that boasts an extremely high safety index and is one of the country’s most established digital gaming platforms, generating sizeable annual revenue numbers. It houses a robust game lobby featuring products from famous sector providers like Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Red Rake Gaming, Play’n GO, Playson, and iSoftBet. On top of this, Casino777.es has a live lobby powered by streaming tables and presenter games from industry giant Evolution. The payment methods on hand for use at this hub are Bizum, Visa, Apple Pay, PayPal, Paysafecard, Skrill, Skrill 1-Tap, and Neteller. Their utilizing comes with zero fees for account funding, and all the options list a ten EUR deposit minimum limit.

Vyoma GmbH

• Vyoma won two of DLR’s Small Satellite Competition, designed to strengthen the German space industry and promote innovative technologies. • The awards will allow two Vyoma satellites carrying optical telescopes to be launched by German microlauncher companies in 2025-2026. • Vyoma is developing a disruptive space object monitoring system and satellite operations automation services to guarantee the safety of space assets. The satellites are part of a 12-member constellation of this monitoring system. ‍ Vyoma, a fast-growing space technology company based in Germany, has been distinguished in multiple categories of the small satellite competitions organized by the German Space Agency at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR). The prestigious awards were announced during the 2023 SmallSatellite Conference in Berlin on 23rd November 2023. Vyoma received two awards, one from the Microlauncher Competition and one from the Small Satellite Competition. The competitions aimed at providing launch opportunities for small satellites, under 200 kg of mass (as the competitions’ limit), whose technology aligns with Germany’s and Europe’s space strategy. Dr. Anna Christmann, a member of the Bundestag and Federal Government Coordinator of German Aerospace Policy, presented the awards. These two awards will allow Vyoma to continue its mission to secure space assets by expanding its in-situ surveillance system with two additional telescopes that will monitor objects and space debris down to a few centimeters. By monitoring space traffic 24/7, Vyoma contributes thus to Europe’s autonomy in Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and geostrategic independence from current data sources outside of the European continent. Vyoma's commitment to developing a high-precision catalogue of space debris and enhancing existing catalogues across all orbital regions further cements Europe’s space sovereignty. As part of the Microlauncher Competition award, a launch opportunity with RFA Onelaunch vehicle, from Rocket Factory Augsburg, has been secured. Other notable winners in this category include esteemed institutions such as the DLR Institute of Materials Physics in Space, DLR Institute of Lightweight Systems, Bremen University of Applied Sciences, Technical University of Munich – WARR e.V., Warsaw University of Technology (Poland), EnduroSat (Bulgaria), and the Universitat Politécnica de Catalunya (Spain). ‍The launch vehicle for the Small Satellite Competition will be announced soon. Overall, the outstanding multi-category awards underscored the strategic importance of advancing space debris monitoring technologies and presented Vyoma with a unique opportunity to launch at zero cost on two microlaunchers in 2025-2026. Commenting on the award reception, Dr. Luisa Buinhas, co-founder and CPO of Vyoma says: “I sincerely appreciate this recognition we have received from the German government. The sole fact that Vyoma was the only company winning awards across multiple categories is a testament to the current significance of Space Domain Awareness and the importance of space intelligence to Europe’s sovereignty, for the safeguarding of the defense and civilian sectors.” About Vyoma: Vyoma is a Munich-based company that leverages ground-based and soon, space-based data to empower automated satellite operations.

The genesis of stone, explores the beauty of Hualien stone sculptures

Hualien County Cultural Affairs Bureau

HUALIEN, TAIWAN - Media OutReach - 8 November 2023 - Located on the east coast of Taiwan, Hualien is rich in stone and minerals. This unique geology forms the renowned Taroko Gorge, Qingshui Cliff, and Qixingtan Beach, attracting domestic and foreign visitors to its majestic scenery. The stone of Hualien is the DNA of the city, integrated into daily life, with stone lining the pedestrian walkways, transportation shelters, collage and mosaic walls, to its community of stone factories, art merchants, sculptors, and artist studios. This vibrant stone culture informs the eminent “Hualien International Stone Sculpture Festival.” The 2023 edition of “Hualien International Stone Sculpture Festival” is titled “STONEVERSE,” symbolizing the thousands of possibilities of stone like the stars in the universe, beyond its existence as a material. The main event “Symposium” invites 10 sculptors for a month-long residency from September 30 to October 29, including Jean-Paul Chablais (France), Vincent Beaufils (France), Marino Di Prospero (Italy), Francesco Mazzotta (Italy), Raphael Beil (Germany), Roland Hoeft (Germany), Albena Mihaylova (Bulgaria), Zdravko Zdravkov (Bulgaria), Behnam Akharbin Moghanlo (Iran), Hedayat Sahraei (Iran). After 28 years of operation through “Symposium,” Hualien has in its collection 180 large-scale stone sculptures created by artists from various countries. At the conclusion of their work, stone is granted life and faceted as precious gems, integrated into the majestic scenery of Hualien, awaiting its visitors. The thematic exhibition “Detonation of Essence and Form” in a series of events will be on view at the Hualien County Stone Sculptural Museum until December 24. With works from 14 artists from Taiwan, China, South Africa, Japan, South Korea, among others, the exhibition aims to showcase diverse and contemporary perspectives on stone sculpture and material across generations, covering stone sculpture, metal casting, photography, video installation, imaging, melamine board, paper pulp, and furniture design. Through consistent revisitation and interpretation of classic values, “stone sculpture” as a traditional art also continually renews itself. “Hualien International Stone Sculpture Festival” is a bridge between Hualien and the world, not only in creating an exceptional space for outstanding stone sculptors from all over the world, but also sharing the beauty of Hualien with the world, and collecting the essence of stone sculpture in Hualien for our understanding and appreciation.
