Globe and Mail05-03-2025

BARCELONA, Spain , March 5, 2025 /CNW/ -- Meizu has marked its back to global market at MWC in Barcelona . In exclusive interactions with several media outlets, Mr. Gu Binbin, the executive director of overseas business, discussed the brand's global strategy, "smart phones + XR + smart cars" ecosystem, and localization operations.
As Meizu has amassed a huge fan base over the past years both in China and globe, the announcement of going back to global market attracts widespread attention. The first question Mr. Gu need to answer, is Meizu's globalization strategy and how to choose the right market.
"Our globalization strategy is rooted in two pillars: market demand and technological innovation. " Mr. Gu shows his strategic thoughts and tells Meizu's approach.
"We now operates in over 30 countries and regions across Asia-Pacific , Latin America , the Middle East , Central Asia and Europe . Each market requires tailored solutions, so we have our 'Global Vision, Local Execution' approach." This approach ensures that marketing, R&D, and customer support resonate with each market's unique dynamics, which are the foundation of Meizu's localization strategy. In the near future, Meizu will deepen presence in these markets while exploring new opportunities.
Mr. Gu mentioned that the strategies now implementing which differentiate Meizu from other competitors, "Smart phone + XR + Smart cars" ecosystem and "All in AI" strategy. In Meizu's philosophy , smart phones, AR and smart cars are all important parts of the digital life of the future. While each serves distinct purposes, they can be highly interconnected technically.
The core is Flyme AIOS which can seamlessly connect the smart phones, XR glasses and cars, bring a more complete and intelligent experience for consumers. For instance, consumers can set navigation routes through their mobile phones and sync the information to the centre control screens of XR glasses and cars. In a meeting, XR Glasses can translate and synchronize the minutes of the meeting to the mobile phone and computer in real time; while the smart car can automatically plan the best route according to the consumers' schedule. This multi-terminal collaborative experience not only improves the consumers' work efficiency, but also enhances the product's usage scenario and value.
Last year, Meizu introduced its "All in AI" strategy, placing AI at the core of its product development across the entire line. With AI as its foundation, Meizu has built a multi-scenario convergent AI ecosystem, and provide more intelligent functions to users. For instance, on mobile phones, AI technology enhances functions such as photo taking, voice assistant and personalized recommendations. XR glasses achieve innovative applications such as real-time translation, navigation and conference assistant through AI. On smart cars, the AI-driven Flyme Auto system provides users with a smarter driving experience.
Moreover, the collaboration with Geely Group accelerates Flyme Auto's technology adoption and industry empowerment. Flyme Auto is one of China's most widely adopted smart cockpit OS, installed in over 500,000 vehicles.
As one of the smoothest and fastest-growing smart cockpit operating systems. In January 2025 , the sales volume of smart cars installed with Flyme Auto exceeded 132,000 units, ranking number one. Also, Flyme Auto has synchronized with Geely to go global, adapting 22 models from Geely, LYNK & CO and other brands. Flyme Auto now has been exported to the Middle East , Eastern Europe , Asia-Pacific and other regions, bringing thousands of consumers a brand new cross-terminal intelligent experience.
Worth mentioning is that Meizu is the smartphone brand of DreamSmart Group, which carries AI eco-products in three product areas, which are smartphones, XR and smart cars. With deep technological expertise in multiple industries, DreamSmart is recognized as a leader in smart ecosystems.
Looking ahead, Meizu will stand firm to "All in AI" and globalization strategy and continue to invest in product development and market expansion, bringing better full ecological products to tech lovers around the world.

EDC supported more than 27,800 businesses and facilitated more than $123 billion intrade-related activities Français

OTTAWA, ON, June 9, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, Export Development Canada (EDC) released its 2024 Integrated Annual Report, highlighting how the organization helped its customers grow their business beyond Canada to seize the vast trade opportunities that await them in the global marketplace. The report is complemented by additional environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosures: 2024 Climate-Related Disclosure, and the 2024 Sustainable Bond Impact Report. In 2024, exporters faced a complex and rapidly evolving economic environment. During this period, EDC expanded its presence in key Indo-Pacific markets to support the trade diversification of Canadian exporters. EDC invested in medium-sized Canadian exporters, sharpening its focus on priority sectors, and maintained a strong commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices. "In 2024, global economic softness weighed on Canadian exporters. Slow domestic growth, higher-for-longer interest rates and slowing labour markets strained the economic outlook in many countries," said Alison Nankivell, EDC's President and CEO. "Those challenges, coupled with new market uncertainties towards the end of the year, have energized our customers to transition from continental to global traders as we strive to make it easier for them to secure new international business opportunities. This renewed interest in trade diversification and EDC's solutions have increased since the start of this year given the evolving nature of U.S. trade policies, and we're stepping up to support them." In 2024, EDC supported more than 27,800 customers with financial and knowledge solutions, with the vast majority being small and medium-sized businesses. We facilitated a total of $123.4 billion in exports, foreign investment and trade development activities, including $23.4 billion in business in emerging markets. This support contributed to over 475,800 domestic jobs and helped to generate $87 billion of Canada's GDP. "During an uncertain economic environment, we strategically deployed capital and took on risk to help more Canadian companies reach global markets—and we are continuing to do so in response to the current climate," said Scott Moore, EDC's Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer. "We're motivated by findings that Canadian companies supported by EDC generate 23% more revenues, employ 16% more workers and are 6% more productive, according to our latest study with Statistics Canada." In 2024, EDC's net income increased to $915 million from $450 million in 2023. This was driven by higher net revenue, combined with unrealized gains on financial instruments carried at fair value. Our growing presence in the Indo-Pacific In 2024, EDC added three new representations in the Indo-Pacific, increasing the total number of representations to 11 in the region, including its Singapore branch. EDC opened representations in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Manila, Philippines, and most recently, Bangkok, Thailand (in 2025) to offer in-market support to attract more Canadian companies to the booming region and help them navigate local market complexities. EDC supported 1,529 customers and facilitated $13 billion in business volumes in the Indo-Pacific region in 2024. It also signed memorandums of understanding with several export credit agencies and market leaders to enable strong market access for Canadian exporters. Our support for Canada's medium-sized exporters and key sectors In 2024, we continued our strategic objective to support the international growth of Canada's medium-sized companies. In 2024, we served 1,175 medium-sized Canadian companies across our financial solutions. EDC is focusing on Canadian sectors that provide net-new growth for Canada, namely agri-food, critical minerals, the energy transition, advanced manufacturing and digital industries. Its goal is to highlight Canada's strengths on the global stage and improve trade competitiveness. For example, in the agri-food sector, EDC served 3,201 customers throughout the year, facilitating $21.7 billion in business. As a leading financier of Canada's cleantech industry, EDC served 500 cleantech customers in 2024, enabling $9.7 billion in business facilitated. Our commitment to responsible business Throughout the year, EDC maintained its commitment to responsible business. In 2024, we issued our sixth green bond valued at US$ 1 billion, helping to further attract capital for climate-focused investment and support for projects that generate positive environmental outcomes. Additionally, we deployed $1.3 billion in financing for 56 renewable energy projects. Through our inclusive trade efforts, we offered targeted support for Canadian companies owned by members of equity-seeking groups, focusing on companies owned by women and Indigenous people. This effort served 3,816 financial and non-financial customers and facilitated $2.5 billion in business and trade activities. For more information, read the 2024 Integrated Annual Report and the suite of supplemental ESG reports. Export Development Canada (EDC) is a financial Crown corporation dedicated to helping Canadian businesses make an impact at home and abroad. EDC has the financial products and knowledge Canadian companies need to confidently enter new markets, reduce financial risk and grow their business as they go from local to global. Together, EDC and Canadian companies are building a more prosperous, stronger and sustainable economy for all Canadians.

Canada's new government is rebuilding, rearming, and reinvesting in the Canadian Armed Forces Français

TORONTO, June 9, 2025 /CNW/ - In an increasingly dangerous and divided world, Canada must be prepared – to defend our people and our values, to secure our sovereignty, and to protect our Allies. We must be prepared to lead and to shape a more stable and prosperous world. This entails government recognizing our new realities and investing in the measures required to meet this moment. Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, announced that Canada's new government is rebuilding, rearming, and reinvesting in the Canadian Armed Forces. With this increase, Canada will achieve NATO's 2 per cent target this year – half a decade ahead of schedule – and further accelerate our investments in years to follow, consistent with our security imperatives. The investment for 2025-26 will be over $9 billion. Measures in this plan include: Better pay for Canadian Armed Forces, improved recruitment and retention, and investments to support operational readiness, fleet maintenance, security, and infrastructure requirements. New aircraft, armed vehicles, and ammunition, as well as support for projects currently underway. Developing new drones and sensors to monitor the seafloor and the Arctic. Repairing and maintaining existing ships, aircraft, and other assets. More health care funding and staff for Armed Forces personnel. Expanding the reach, security mandate, and abilities of the Canadian Coast Guard and integrating it into our NATO defence capabilities – to better secure our sovereignty and expand maritime surveillance. Bolstering Canada's defence industrial capacity. Building capacity in artificial intelligence, cyber, quantum, and space. Modern and secure digital infrastructure. The plan will support key capabilities, including: Arctic Over-the-Horizon Radar Joint Counter-Drone Program Joint Support Ships Long-range precision strike capability Increased domestic ammunition production Additional logistics utility vehicles, light utility vehicles, and armoured vehicles This government will also undertake efforts to support veterans, including modernizing the benefits system so veterans get supports sooner, streamlining military trade credentials in the civilian sectors, and improving health services for women veterans. Canada requires these capabilities to uphold and assert its sovereignty and ensure our defence never becomes dependent on others again. As we strengthen the Canadian Armed Forces, we will also build up Canadian industry, driving innovation and creating good careers for Canadian workers and new opportunities for Canadian businesses. Now more than ever, we need to defend our sovereignty and safeguard Canada's people and interests. Quotes "In an increasingly dangerous and divided world, Canada must assert its sovereignty. We will rapidly procure new equipment and technology, build our defence industrial capacity, and meet our NATO defence commitment this year. Canada will seize this opportunity with urgency and determination." — The Rt. Hon. Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada "For generations, Canadians have served our country with honour, and today, we renew our promise to stand behind them. We are equipping our Armed Forces with the capabilities and support they need to protect Canadians and uphold our commitments around the world. This historic investment will strengthen our sovereignty and invest in the Canadian economy – growing a world-class defence industry that fuels innovation and job creation." — The Hon. , Minister of National Defence
