Aims to Empower African Foreign Trade SMEs

KIGALI, RWANDA – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 March 2026 – XTransfer, world’s leading B2B cross-border financial platform, was honoured to have its Chief Strategy Officer, Neil Ni, participate in the Remittances Roundtable: Policy and Partnerships Shaping the Next Generation of Cross-Border Flows at the Inclusive FinTech Forum 2026 in Rwanda, underscoring the company’s commitment to advancing faster, cheaper, and more transparent cross-border flows across Africa, especially for SMEs engaged in international trade.

XTransfer’s CSO, Neil Ni, speaks at the Remittances Roundtable at the Inclusive FinTech Forum 2026 in Rwanda.

During the session, Neil joined a roundtable featuring Bernard Rwisumbura Nsengiyumva of the National Bank of Rwanda, Dr Francis Lwanga of Zambia Electronic Clearing House Limited, Owureku Asare of the Bank of Ghana, Mike Truter of Swift, and other distinguished guests, moderated by Luca Antonio Ricci of the International Monetary Fund. The panellists explored what will practically move remittances and cross-border flows forward in 2026–2027, including interoperability, corridor liquidity and FX constraints, and proportionate compliance.

One theme that resonated strongly is that policy is starting to catch up with market needs. A timely example is the new cross-border payment access initiative by the central banks of Kenya and Rwanda (announced 11 March 2026), which introduces mutual recognition and a “fast-track” pathway for licensed payment providers operating between the two countries. Neil noted that reducing duplicative licensing steps, aligning core compliance expectations, and improving supervisory coordination can shorten expansion timelines, lower administrative costs, and ultimately support more reliable and affordable cross-border payments.

“As we look to the next phase of growth, what matters is not only innovation in rails, but alignment in rules and execution,” Neil said. “Interoperability, proportionate compliance, and corridor liquidity are levers that can make cross-border flows meaningfully faster, cheaper, and more transparent without compromising trust.”

Drawing on XTransfer’s experience supporting SMEs in global trade, Neil shared that a practical roadmap includes building on interoperable infrastructure, implementing robust and scalable compliance, and partnering with regulators and local ecosystems to strengthen transparency and unlock corridor liquidity. He added that this is a key reason XTransfer is building X-Net, the industry’s first Unified Global B2B Trade Settlement Network and Risk Control Platform, to connect ecosystem partners and support safer, more standardised information flows for cross-border trade and payments.

As Singapore CBD office rents rise for a fifth consecutive quarter and vacancy hits a record low, CoWorkSpace aims to shield members from rent increases that flex operators typically pass through.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 May 2026 – CoWorkSpace is conveniently located at 6 Raffles Quay #16-01, occupying an entire floor within the office tower and comprising more than 50 private suites designed for startups, SMEs, and established corporations across shipping, financial intermediaries, family offices, professional services, business consultancy, technology, and trade-related industries.

The building is linked to both Raffles Place and Downtown MRT stations via fully sheltered underground walkways, allowing members and their visitors to reach the office without exposure to Singapore’s heat or rain.
Unlike other industry players, CoWorkSpace owns the property it operates from. This owner-operated model provides members with the option of medium to long-term price stability and reduces the risks commonly associated with leased coworking spaces, such as sudden closures, forced relocations, and aggressive rental increases.
The facility is configured mainly as private suites, with no hot-desks and no virtual office members. Members on dedicated-desk arrangements are situated within private suites, providing greater privacy and a more professional working environment.
Each suite is equipped with electronic height-adjustable desks, modern office chairs, and pedestal cabinets according to the suite configuration. Data points are also included within each suite.
Shared facilities include an expansive business lounge, business-grade internet, reception services, meeting rooms and call booths, printing, scanning and shredding facilities, and utilities.
In addition, CoWorkSpace operates an in-house IT team that manages its network and infrastructure directly, enabling faster response and turnaround times for IT-related matters without relying on third-party vendors.

“Made in Binzhou” Heads to Tianzhou-10 Cargo Spacecraft——Binzhou Sci-Tech Power Embarks on a Hardcore Space Mission

Published

on

BINZHOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 May 2026 – On May 11, experimental samples for the project “Study on the Effect of Rotating Magnetic Field on the Solidification Process of Aluminum-based Lightweight High-entropy Alloys under Space Microgravity Conditions” were officially launched aboard the Tianzhou-10 cargo spacecraft. Co-developed with the Metal Materials Center of Binzhou Weiqiao UCAS Advanced Technology Research Institute, these samples are now en route to China’s Manned Space Station to begin their on-orbit scientific journey in a microgravity environment.

Researchers conducting project experiments

This initiative is a collaborative effort involving the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS), the National Space Science Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Binzhou Weiqiao UCAS High Technology Research Institute. The successful launch marks a historic “zero-to-one” breakthrough, representing the first time private sci-tech forces from Binzhou and indeed Shandong province have reached space. It also stands as China’s first in-space experiment to study the solidification of lightweight high-entropy alloys under the dual-field coupling of “microgravity and rotating magnetic fields.”

As a national-level “space laboratory,” the manned space station hosts world-class research facilities and serves as a core platform for disruptive innovation in new materials. This successful deployment not only highlights the institute’s cutting-edge research capabilities but also signifies a deep integration between corporate scientific research and national aerospace engineering. Looking ahead, the institute will continue its deep dive into frontier fields such as space materials and lightweight alloys. By strengthening collaborative innovation across industry, academia, and research, they aim to empower the upgrading of the new materials industry with technological innovation, contributing both wisdom and strength to the development of China’s manned space program and the cultivation of new quality productive forces.
