The TopBrand 2025 "Top 500 Global Brands list" has been released, with Microsoft ranking first.
SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The 19th China Brand Festival has been successfully held in Shenzhen from August 7–11, 2025. This year's theme is "AI and Global Expansion." A total of 10,000 guests have been gathered in the city of innovation to participate in parallel forums, the Brand Expo, the Entrepreneurs' Sports Games, Brand Leaders Face-to-Face sessions, and other events. More than 2,000 people attended the opening ceremony. During the event, the TopBrand Union released the TopBrand 2025 "Top 500 Global Brands list", now in its fourth year. Microsoft ranked first with a brand value of USD 1,062.505 billion, followed by NVIDIA in second place with USD 1,046.760 billion, and Apple in third with USD 997.685 billion. Amazon, Alphabet (Google), Saudi Aramco, Walmart, Meta (Facebook), Berkshire Hathaway, and Broadcom ranked fourth to tenth, respectively. PetroChina ranked 14th, making it the highest-valued Chinese brand. Dr. Wang Yong, Chairman of TopBrand Union and President of the China Brand Festival, noted that in the recently released "Fortune 2025 Global 500 list", China had 130 companies on the list, just eight fewer than the United States. However, in this TopBrand 2025 "Top 500 Global Brands" ranking, the number of Chinese companies is less than half that of the United States. This shows there is still a significant gap between the brand influence of Chinese companies and their economic strength, and much work remains to be done.

As Agentic AI Gains Traction, 86% of Enterprises Anticipate Heightened Risks, Yet Only 2% of Companies Meet Responsible AI Gold Standards
With 95% of enterprises facing incidents, Infosys research reveals wide gap between AI adoption and responsible AI readiness, exposing most enterprises to reputational risks and financial loss BENGALURU, India, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Infosys Knowledge Institute (IKI), the research arm of Infosys (NSE: INFY), (BSE: INFY), (NYSE: INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, today unveiled critical insights into the state of responsible AI (RAI) implementation across enterprises, particularly with the advent of agentic AI. The report, Responsible Enterprise AI in the Agentic Era, surveyed over 1,500 business executives and interviewed 40 senior decision-makers across Australia, France, Germany, UK, US, and New Zealand. The findings show that while 78% of companies see RAI as a business growth driver, only 2% have adequate RAI controls in place to safeguard against reputational risk and financial loss. The report analyzed the effects of risks from poorly implemented AI, such as privacy violations, ethical violations, bias or discrimination, regulatory non-compliance, inaccurate or harmful predictions, among others. It found that 77% of organizations reported financial loss, and 53% of organizations have suffered reputational impact from such AI-related incidents. Key findings include: AI risks are widespread and can be severe Executives view RAI as a growth driver With the scale of enterprise AI adoption far outpacing readiness, companies must urgently shift from treating RAI as a reactive compliance obligation to embracing it proactively as a strategic advantage. To help organizations build scalable, trusted AI systems that fuel growth while mitigating risk, Infosys recommends the following actions: Balakrishna D.R., EVP – Global Services Head, AI and Industry Verticals, Infosys, said, "Drawing from our extensive experience working with clients on their AI journeys, we have seen firsthand how delivering more value from enterprise AI use cases, would require enterprises to first establish a responsible foundation built on trust, risk mitigation, data governance, and sustainability. This also means emphasizing ethical, unbiased, safe, and transparent model development. To realize the promise of this technology in the agentic AI future, leaders should strategically focus on platform and product-centric enablement, and proactive vigilance of their data estate. Companies should not discount the important role a centralized RAI office plays as enterprise AI scales, and new regulations come into force." Jeff Kavanaugh, Head of Infosys Knowledge Institute, Infosys, said, "Today, enterprises are navigating a complex landscape where AI's promise of growth is accompanied by significant operational and ethical risks. Our research clearly shows that while many are recognizing the importance of Responsible AI, there's a substantial gap in practical implementation. Companies that prioritize robust, embedded RAI safeguards will not only mitigate risks and potentially reduce financial losses but also unlock new revenue streams and thrive as we transition into the transformative agentic AI era."

Karpowership and Seatrium Launch LNGTS Americas and Sign LoI for Next-Gen Floating Power Projects
ISTANBUL, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Karpowership and Seatrium have celebrated the naming of Karadeniz LNGTS Americas, the fifth member of Karpowership's LNG Terminal Ship (LNGTS) fleet. The ceremony also saw both companies sign a strategic partnership to convert the Karpowership's next-generation Powership and LNGTS fleet. Karadeniz LNGTS Americas will join the growing fleet of vessels operated by Karpowership, the world's largest owner and operator of the floating power plant technology known as Powerships. LNGTS units can be paired with Powerships (LNG-to-Power), which are multi-fuel enabled, to deliver electricity in regions where onshore infrastructure is limited and access to natural gas is absent. "With thanks to our partners at Seatrium, whose innovation, expertise, and commitment have been integral to our journey, we are delighted to add Karadeniz LNGTS Americas to our expanding fleet," said Orhan Remzi Karadeniz, Chief Executive Officer of Karpowership. "Our model of integrating Powerships and LNGTS offers countries a unique and cost-effective solution to achieving energy security while utilizing cleaner fuels. Our one-of-a-kind, industry-leading design and know-how is globally unique, with no equal in its field. We are very proud to have become a significant player in the LNG field in just six years." Karpowership owns 50 Powerships with an installed capacity of 10,000 MW and 11 LNGTS units, including those under construction or in the pipeline. Having a global footprint in 20 countries across four continents, Karpowership is delivering cleaner, reliable, and cost-effective electricity, including LNG-to-power projects in Brazil and Senegal – the latter being the first of its kind in Africa. Today, Karpowership represents 1% of global installed Gas-to-Power capacity and aims to double that to 2% in the next 10 years. As a part of this plan, the company signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) with Seatrium to expand its floating power capabilities. According to the LoI, Seatrium will begin converting three high-capacity LNGTS and Karpowership's next generation of Powerships, which are designed as a modular system adaptable to project needs. The new design will allow for the integration of advanced technologies such as CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) systems or turbines when required. "This collaboration underscores Seatrium's role in transforming the energy industry through innovation and strategic partnerships in energy assets. By uniting our world-class offshore engineering expertise with Karpowership's pioneering energy solutions, we are advancing the development and deployment of rapid, reliable, and flexible power solutions to meet growing global energy demands," said Chris Ong, Chief Executive Officer of Seatrium. The naming ceremony and the LoI reaffirm Karpowership's commitment to providing energy security, meeting countries' needs today, and building resilience for the long term. About Karpowership Karpowership is a global energy company specializing in fast-track and integrated power solutions. As the only builder, owner and operator of the world's largest Powership fleet, Karpowership's vessels can deliver turnkey energy solutions wherever they are needed, connecting to the grid and generating electricity in less than 30 days.
