Concorde International Group Ltd (NASDAQ:CIGL) executive director Terence Yap talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's expansion strategy and strong momentum in 2025. Yap highlighted that security demand continues to grow globally, and Concorde's patented technology addresses key pain points—rising labour costs, evolving threat environments, and scalability challenges. He explained that Concorde's I-Guarding Services and I-Man Facility Sprinter system offer a competitive edge in a saturated security market by integrating IoT-enabled sensors and deploying mobile command centres that replace traditional night guards. “Imagine your night guards are replaced with sensors and detectors… we can respond very quickly,” said Yap. This globally patented approach enables faster response and cost efficiency for clients. Yap noted the importance of recurring revenue, saying 99% of the company's 2024 income came from recurring contracts, mostly with government and education clients. He revealed that by mid-2025, Concorde had already surpassed its 2024 full-year contract value—underlining the growing demand. Expansion plans include targeting regions with high labour costs and rising security needs. Yap confirmed a US subsidiary has been set up in Texas, with additional market entry plans in the UK, Europe, and Australia. Yap emphasized the role of the public sector in setting a precedent for the private market, affirming that Concorde's technology is vital in maintaining both safety and efficiency.

In this episode of Wrestling Soup, Anthony Thomas and Joe Numbers discuss their frustrations with this week's episode of RAW. The hosts feel RAW was lackluster and uninspired, with phoned-in segments and boring tropes. SmackDown had some fun moments, but overall the wrestling shows fall short. They touch on injury updates, including Liv Morgan's shoulder dislocation. The hosts also joke about the absurdity of certain storylines, such as Goldberg facing Gunther, and talk about WWE's aggressive expansion strategy and how it impacts various wrestling styles like Lucha Libre. Additionally, the episode features commentary on the problematic booking of women's storylines and the overuse of certain talent. Overall, their dialogue highlights a need for better writing and more engagement from wrestlers and audiences alike.00:00 Raw Recap: A Disastrous Week01:53 Seth and Cody: A Tired Rivalry02:52 Liv Morgan's Absurd Angle05:44 Corey Graves Steps Up07:50 Women's Division Woes20:51 Goldberg's Controversial Return32:28 AJ Styles vs. JD McDonough34:09 Bailey vs. Becky Lynch: A Heated Exchange35:32 Bailey's Decline and Bird Girl's Struggles39:05 Liv Morgan's Injury 43:08 WWE's Title Dynamics and Future Prospects55:20 WWE's Global Expansion and Lucha Libre01:11:58 Concluding Thoughts on WWE's Current StateBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wrestling-soup--1425249/support.

In this special preview of the CCA European Summit, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, interviews Jeff Korn, CEO and Chairman of Crexendo, a leading telecom platform provider and active member of the Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA). Set to speak on a key panel at the Brussels event, Korn outlines Crexendo's bold vision for open, best-of-breed ecosystems in telecom. “We recently surpassed 6 million users, making us the third largest platform in the U.S. serving third parties,” Korn reports. “That growth is driven by our open APIs, flexible deployment options, and a commitment to giving customers full control of their platforms.” Crexendo's NetSapiens platform enables providers to shape telecom solutions to fit their own business needs — not someone else's template. “We don't believe in one-size-fits-all,” says Korn. “With our open APIs and customizable interfaces, our licensees can create exactly what they need — or integrate tools from any vendor they choose.” One of the platform's most disruptive features is its pricing model: Crexendo charges by sessions, not seats. “Why should schools or hotels pay for phones that aren't in use? You only pay for the sessions you need,” says Korn. This usage-based pricing creates massive cost-efficiency for verticals with seasonality or compliance-based phone requirements. Looking beyond North America, Korn discussed Crexendo's expansion across EMEA, highlighting a strategic partnership with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) that allows the company to rapidly deploy localized services in countries with strict data sovereignty laws. “We can now spin up a compliant, country-specific instance in days,” notes Korn. “That's a game-changer for growth across Europe, Africa, and Asia.” As Crexendo continues its global ascent, Korn will join other industry leaders in Brussels, sharing how openness, flexibility, and customer-first design can power innovation across borders.

Legal and Strategic Insights on Chinese Investment in the U.S. with Chris PereiraWelcome to another insightful episode of the Asia Business Podcast, this week we have Chris Pereira, CEO of iMpact, a strategic advisory firm dedicated to assisting Chinese companies in global expansion. In this episode, Art and Chris engage in a candid discussion about the intricate challenges and opportunities Chinese companies face when entering the US market.The Current Landscape of US-China RelationsWith ongoing tensions between the US and China, businesses are navigating a complicated environment filled with tariffs, political tweets, and fluctuating regulations. The conversation opens with Chris highlighting that while tariffs remain a prominent topic, Chinese companies are more concerned with the stability of US regulations and policies, especially under an unpredictable political climate.Legal Concerns for Chinese BusinessesChris shares how his clients often question the potential risks associated with significant investments in the US. Art weighs in on the legal perspective, clarifying that while tweets may generate headlines, they have no legal standing. He reassures that even amidst political rhetoric, the US legal system maintains checks and balances that protect businesses from arbitrary decisions.Importance of Localizing Business EffortsThe discussion turns to the critical need for Chinese companies to localize efforts when establishing a presence in the US. Art and Chris emphasize the grassroots approach required to build local community relationships, often overlooked by companies accustomed to China's top-down decision-making processes. Understanding local governance and community impact is essential for success.The Political and Economic Impacts of TariffsTariffs, while significant, have not deterred Chinese companies from pursuing opportunities in the US market. Chris explains that many businesses manage to adapt their strategies, focusing on enhancing brand positioning as opposed to competing solely on price. Art adds that while tariffs can create uncertainties, they also encourage innovation and resilience among Chinese firms.The COVID-19 Aftermath and Geopolitical ConcernsChris expresses surprise at the continued discussions around COVID-19 within Chinese media, particularly in the context of legal actions against China. Art offers a legal interpretation, suggesting that lawsuits targeting governmental entities rather than private companies carry more symbolic meaning than enforceable outcomes.Future Outlook on US-China Business DynamicsDespite current challenges, both Art and Chris acknowledge an underlying optimism among Chinese businesses. The focus on strategic localization, investment in automation, and diversification into alternate markets like Southeast Asia and Europe signify adaptability and resilience. Art predicts a continued shift towards manufacturing localization in the US, driven by automation and stable regulatory environments.Final Insights and Moving ForwardAs the episode concludes, Art and Chris reflect on the shifting landscape of global business and the importance of adaptability and strategic foresight. The complexities of US-China relations underscore the need for businesses to remain informed and agile, leveraging diplomacy and legal expertise to navigate these uncertain waters.Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:36 Challenges and Opportunities for Chinese Companies in the US02:01 Legal Concerns and Tariffs06:34 Localizing Business Operations09:19 COVID-19 Lawsuits and Geopolitical Issues16:02 Tariff Situation and Future Outlook18:31 Brand Focus Over Price Competition19:06 Impact of Tariffs on Consumers and Suppliers20:44 China's Resilience and Market Shifts23:06 US Manufacturing and Investment Trends28:24 Automation and Complex Supply Chains31:17 Biotech and Pharma Industry Dynamics34:50 Concluding Thoughts and Future Outlook ProducerJacob ThomasFollow UsLinkedInApple Podcasts

Manufacturing is going global, but "Made in USA" still matters. Dr. Bill Cardoso reveals how Creative Electron's groundbreaking joint venture with Unicomp is redefining X-ray inspection technology while maintaining their American manufacturing roots.In this interview with Eric Miscoll on the show floor of IPC APEX 2025, Bill shares how the partnership creates a 1,200-employee global enterprise with facilities spanning Hungary, India, Malaysia, and China. This strategic expansion arrives just as international trade faces growing challenges from protectionist policies and tariff barriers, positioning Creative Electron to serve customers worldwide while strengthening their San Marcos, California manufacturing operations.The joint venture combines complementary technological strengths. Unicomp brings hardware expertise optimized for Asia's high-volume, low-mix production environments, while Creative Electron contributes user-friendly software tailored for Western manufacturing's high-mix, low-volume challenges. All systems—including those based on Unicomp technology—will be American-made for the American market, maintaining the quality and warranty that distinguishes Creative Electron in the marketplace.Behind this expansion lies a closely aligned customer-obsessed philosophy driving everything from R&D to organizational structure. Dedicated business units now focus on specific product lines, ensuring specialized attention to customer needs. For Cardoso, this represents just the beginning of an ambitious journey to grow Creative Electron into a multi-billion dollar enterprise bridging technological silos to deliver inspection solutions that work across global manufacturing environments.EMS@C-Level Live at APEX is sponsored by global inspection leaders Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Creative Electron (https://creativeelectron.com)EMS@C-Level is sponsored by global inspection leaders Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Creative Electron (https://creativeelectron.com) You can see video versions of all of the EMS@C-Level pods on our YouTube playlist.

Sindre Talleraas Holen, Head of M&A at Visma In Part 2 of this global M&A masterclass, Sindre Holen pulls back the curtain on Visma's deal execution strategy, valuation methodology, and post-close philosophy. Visma has quietly become one of the most disciplined and prolific acquirers in Europe and LATAM. How? Through extreme clarity on what they buy, why they buy it, and how they operate post-close. Sindre and Kison dig into the nuance of buying software companies in different geographies, how Visma thinks about valuation (hint: rule of 40—and sometimes 50—matters), and why the company chooses to “onboard” rather than “integrate.” This episode is a candid, behind-the-scenes look at how to structure deals, manage cultural differences, and stay true to a scalable M&A playbook.

Though she had no idea what that meant at the time, it launched her toward a life of connecting others to Jesus. Kari spent 15 years with Cru's campus ministry, leading teams in Texas and Oklahoma, but it was her time in Ethiopia that shaped her heart for the world. Gripped by a desire to reach the unreached, she spent five years as a Global Missions Director before joining Jesus Film Project in 2017.

Today on the Clean Power Hour Live, Tim Montague and John Weaver (the Commercial Solar Guy) dive into pressing developments in the solar industry. They examine the Trump administration's decision to rescind Biden's Defense Production Act support for solar manufacturing and discuss the potential impacts on the 50 gigawatts of planned domestic solar panel production. The conversation shifts to exciting projections that global solar installations could reach one terawatt next year—a staggering milestone representing approximately $1.5 trillion in economic activity across manufacturing and installation.They also explore Australia's ambitious plans to build 6-gigawatt renewable energy "pods" combining wind and solar to produce green hydrogen and ammonia for export. Throughout their discussion, they contemplate the challenges and opportunities in the energy transition, from grid capacity issues to the potential of a hydrogen economy.Key Topics Discussed:1.
