The five-year framework agreement covers phased rollout of Lunit's AI suite—including chest X-ray, mammography, tomosynthesis, and fracture detection—across 79 Starvision sites
SEOUL, South Korea, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lunit (KRX:328130.KQ), a leading provider of AI for cancer diagnostics and therapeutics, today announced a strategic partnership with Starvision Service GmbH, Germany's largest private radiology network. Through a newly signed framework agreement, Lunit's AI imaging solutions will be deployed across Starvision's expansive network of radiological practices.
Starvision operates 79 locations across seven German federal states, delivering services in radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy. As a recognized leader in the DACH healthcare market, Starvision is known for its commitment to digital transformation, operational excellence, and high-quality patient care.
Under the agreement, Starvision will adopt several of Lunit's AI solutions, including:
The first commercial deployments are already underway—including use of Lunit INSIGHT MMG at Radiologische Allianz in Hamburg, supporting the Hamburg breast cancer screening program under the Starvision network. Together with deployments at Die Radiologie, a major regional hospital group operating over 20 medical sites across Bavaria, Lunit's solutions are now supporting approximately 120,000 breast cancer screenings and diagnoses annually across the two institutions.
The five-year framework agreement allows additional Starvision locations—and newly affiliated practices—to join at any time, enabling broad scalability across the network. New deployments and clinical trials are already in progress, with individual agreements being signed across Starvision's entities as part of a phased implementation plan. Beyond Starvision, several other healthcare providers across Germany have also expressed interest, reflecting the expanding demand for AI-driven imaging solutions.
"Lunit's AI solutions support our radiologists in delivering fast and accurate diagnoses. This strengthens diagnostic confidence and gives us more time to focus on what truly matters: the individual care of our patients," said Uwe Pfeifer, CEO of Starvision Service GmbH.
"Partnering with Starvision accelerates our vision of bringing AI-powered precision diagnostics into everyday clinical practice," said Brandon Suh, CEO of Lunit. "Together, we are advancing a new era of radiology where technology enhances the expertise of physicians, delivering better outcomes for millions of patients in Germany and beyond."
The partnership supports both companies' vision of transforming healthcare through intelligent technology and setting new standards in radiology.

[Graphic News] Russia overtakes Germany in beer output

Russia has overtaken Germany as Europe's top beer producer for the first time in 12 years, brewing 9.1 billion liters in 2024 compared to Germany's 8.4 billion, according to the German business daily Handelsblatt. The shift is largely attributed to Russia's reduced trade with other European nations following the start of the Ukraine war, which spurred a boost in domestic production. Globally, China led with 34 billion liters, followed by the US (18 billion), Brazil (14.7 billion) and Mexico (14.5 billion), with Russia and Germany ranking 5th and 6th, respectively. While beer is not on the EU's sanctions list, European beer producers have faced criticism for continuing exports to Russia, which launched a military invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

FORLAND Gains Popularity in Southeast Asia, Delivers 260 Trucks to Philippines

ANGELES CITY, Philippines, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to FORLAND held a delivery ceremony in August 2025 to hand over 260 light trucks to local transport company YIMI CARGO in Angeles city, the Philippines. The event, co-hosted by FORLAND, YIMI CARGO, and Philippine partner QSJ Motors, drew senior executives, partners, and media representatives. The delivery represents a key milestone for FORLAND in the Philippine market and reflects the company's expanding presence in Southeast Asia and the global commercial vehicle industry. The delivered trucks include FORLAND's L5 and T5 series. The L5 light trucks, powered by the engine developed using German FEV technology, serve transport needs between 6.5 and 9 tons gross vehicle weight (GVW). They feature extra-wide cargo beds capable of holding two rows of pallets side by side, significantly improving loading efficiency. The cabs offer comfort comparable to that of a passenger car. The T5 mini trucks, designed for urban "last-mile" delivery, are equipped with engines derived from Japan's Dong'an and Germany's FEV technology. Covering 2.5 to 4.5 tons GVW, these trucks feature lightweight bodies and low cargo beds to facilitate easy loading and unloading. They are well suited for express delivery, fresh produce, and other city logistics. YIMI CARGO is the English brand name of YIMI TRANSPORTATION PHILIPPINES INC, operated overseas under China's Sands Group, with presence in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. "The company chose FORLAND trucks due to the reliability of its products and professionalism in service", said Chen Guilin, YIMI CARGO Philippines operations director. "This is not just a delivery ceremony. It marks the start of a long-term strategic partnership between FORLAND, the Philippine market and logistics customers", said Sun Chaoshan, deputy general manager of FORLAND's Overseas Business Department. He noted FORLAND has delivered more than 6.6 million commercial vehicles across more than 50 countries and regions since its founding in 1999. Moving forward, FORLAND plans to introduce new energy and digital products tailored to local markets in the Philippines and Southeast Asia to support regional logistics development. Since entering the Philippine market in 2009, FORLAND has delivered tens of thousands of commercial vehicles, including logistics trucks, dump trucks, refrigerated trucks, and special-purpose vehicles. Together with local partner QSJ Motors, FORLAND has built a strong local support system for after-sales service, spare parts, and technical support to ensure worry-free vehicle operation throughout the product life cycle. With its integrated sales, service, and localization model, FORLAND has become a leading brand in the medium- and high-end commercial vehicle market in the Philippines.
