Airwallex Named 'Company Of Good' In Singapore For Driving Purpose-Led Growth

KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 (Bernama) -- Airwallex, a global financial platform for modern businesses, has been recognised as a Company of Good (COG) by the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) for its meaningful and growing contributions to corporate purpose and community impact in Singapore.

“We are proud to be recognised as a COG and to do our part in strengthening the communities in which we live and work.

“We believe innovation and impact go hand in hand – and we will continue finding new ways to use our time, product, and expertise to drive economic empowerment, inclusion, and opportunity,” said Airwallex Co-founder and President, Lucy Liu in a statement.

This national recognition affirms Airwallex’s ongoing commitment to building a more inclusive and sustainable future via purposeful business practices, in line with the Forward Singapore movement and COG’s five pillars, namely People, Society, Governance, Environment, and Economic.

Central to this recognition is Airwallex Impact, the company’s global social impact initiative launched in late 2024 under the “Pledge 1%” movement. Since then, over 120 employees worldwide have volunteered across various community efforts, marking a 58 per cent increase over 2024 levels.

Through the programme, the company will continue to deliver volunteering initiatives, forge social impact partnerships, and establish donation frameworks across its global offices, including its Singapore headquarters.

In Singapore, Airwallex employees have already begun making a tangible difference through a range of volunteering initiatives in 2025 that support youth empowerment, marine conservation, and environmental innovation.

Airwallex is also proud to be the Gold Partner for the upcoming Endowus Giving Machines (EGB) Campaign, running from August 2025 to January next year, in which these “virtual giving machines” can be found at high-traffic areas such as MRT stations, bus stops, malls and cinemas, enabling individuals to make charitable donations to a wide range of causes.

As Airwallex continues to grow in Singapore and across the region, its focus remains clear to create long-term value for businesses, communities and the broader economy by pairing world-class financial infrastructure with strong corporate purpose.

Bitget Expands Starlink-Powered PayFi Islands Initiative to Negros Oriental

 

DUMAGUETE, Philippines, July 22 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, is deepening its commitment to digital inclusion in the Philippines by expanding its PayFi Islands initiative to Negros Oriental. This next phase will bring Starlink-powered high-speed internet to Apo Elementary School and the Arts and Design Collective Dumaguete (ADCD), tackling long-standing connectivity challenges in education and the creative sector.

In many parts of Negros Oriental, including remote islands like Apo and urban centers such as Dumaguete, reliable internet access remains elusive. Outdated infrastructure, like microwave radio links, continues to limit bandwidth and reliability, cutting communities off from modern tools and opportunities. This digital divide has sent a ripple effect through key sectors, such as education and creative industries, hindering access to information, digital tools, and, in turn, economic opportunities.

Bitget’s latest deployment brings high-speed Starlink internet to two key communities in Negros Oriental, each facing distinct yet equally urgent digital challenges. After years of limited resources and unreliable internet, Apo Elementary School, the only public school on Apo Island, will finally be connected through Starlink. This new access will unlock digital learning tools, teacher development programs, and broader educational networks, creating new opportunities for academic growth and long-term empowerment in a community that has long relied on fishing. 

Meanwhile, in Dumaguete, Bitget partnered with the Arts and Design Collective Dumaguete (ADCD), a vibrant creative hub preparing to launch a maker’s space for local artists and entrepreneurs. Previously held back by poor internet access, this space will now offer digital tools, fabrication technologies, and pathways to global collaboration, enabling the city’s creative sector to thrive in the digital economy.

"Access to the internet is access to opportunities," said Vugar Usi Zade, COO of Bitget. "With PayFi Islands, we’re connecting people to education, to the digital economy, to more opportunities. These communities deserve to be part of the future, and we’re here to help make that happen."

Scheduled for full deployment in July 2025, the project includes hardware installation, subscription support, and community training. The expansion in Negros Oriental is part of Bitget’s second phase in bridging the digital divide in Philippine Island communities. In May 2025, Bitget’s Starlink Program first introduced reliable connectivity to Siargao’s Espoir School of Life and Barangay Pitogo. As Bitget continues its rollout, these initiatives lay the foundation for Bitget’s broader educational and empowerment programs, Blockchain4Youth and Blockchain4Her. These programs will introduce blockchain literacy, financial education, and decentralized technology training to students and women-led cooperatives in the region, ensuring that the new digital infrastructure becomes a platform for sustainable development.

The Blockchain4Youth initiative highlights a powerful message that true crypto adoption begins with access. From the classrooms of Apo Island to the creative studios of Dumaguete, this expansion reflects Bitget’s long-term commitment to inclusion, empowerment, and building a future where no one is left offline.

"Critical infrastructure needs resilient electrical systems. As demand for advanced electrification solutions continues to grow, the new SACE Emax 3 will help customers stay ahead of changing power requirements and protect business-critical uptime,” said Massimiliano Cifalitti, Smart Power President, ABB Electrification. “Emax 3 is a breakthrough for energy resilience, helping solve some of the leading causes of power outages. Its built-in intelligence helps customers make their power management and maintenance proactive and predictive.”

ABB’s SACE-brand air circuit breakers are recognised for their reliability and performance, with millions installed worldwide protecting buildings and critical facilities.

Lara Cortinovis, Head of Distribution & Energy Management, ABB Electrification, said: “Power outages can now be a million-dollar problem, with customers telling us they are concerned with grid instability, human error and cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Solutions to improve on-site resilience are seen as critical. ABB innovations like Emax 3 will be at the heart of solutions to make critical infrastructure more secure and reliable.”

VESCO, SALVINELLI CLINCH 1000 MIGLIA 2025 IN THRILLING FINISH

KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 (Bernama) -- The 43rd edition of the legendary 1000 Miglia concluded in Brescia, with Andrea Vesco and Fabio Salvinelli once again claiming victory.

Driving their iconic Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Ss, the reigning champions held off strong competition from Daniel Andres Erejomovich and Gustavo Llanos, who briefly took the lead on day four with their 1929 Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 Ss. Rounding out the podium were Tonconogy and Ruffini in a 1931 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gs.

Also taking top honours were Roland Hotz and Giordano Mozzi, winners of the Ferrari Tribute 1000 Miglia in an F8 Spider, while Mirco Magni and Federico Giavardi claimed victory in the 1000 Miglia Green category behind the wheel of a Polestar 4.

This year’s event was a special one, reviving the “figure-eight” route of the pre-war era—a symbolic loop connecting not only Italy’s North and South but also East and West, from the Adriatic Sea to the Tyrrhenian coast.

Over five days and 1,900 kilometres, more than 400 classic cars travelled through Italy’s hidden gems, such as art cities, countryside roads, and coastal stretches, according to a statement.

Starting in Brescia, the Red Arrow route led participants through Ferrara, Rome, Orvieto, Arezzo, Cervia, and Livorno before winding back through the Po Valley and returning home.

Each leg turned into a celebration, with cheering crowds, music, and picturesque backdrops—capturing the spirit of what many call “the most beautiful race in the world”.

The annual list accumulates leaders across blockchain, crypto, and artificial intelligence who are advancing innovation and inclusion in emerging tech sectors.

Among the top ten honorees, Chen stands alongside industry luminaries such as Daniela Amodei of Anthropic, Anima Anandkumar of Caltech, Teana Baker‑Taylor of Venice.ai, MIT’s Regina Barzilay, Hedera’s Betsabe Botaitis, Société Générale’s Stéphanie Cabossioras, Trust Wallet’s Eowyn Chen, BlackRock’s Samara Cohen, Coinbase’s Emilie Choi, and Delphine Forma from Solidus Labs along with forty other exceptional women.

Compiled through a rigorous and inclusive process, the list was curated by CoinDesk’s editorial team in consultation with a diverse panel of women leaders from organizations including Google, Spotify, and the Association of Women in Crypto. Over 300 nominations from around the world were evaluated, with finalists chosen for their innovation, influence, and relevance in shaping Web3 and AI’s next chapter.

Chen stands out not only as the sole woman CEO among the top 10 global crypto exchanges, but also as the leader behind Bitget’s global growth. Since taking over the role of CEO in May 2024, she has steered the platform through a phase of accelerated growth. Under her leadership, Bitget has grown its user base from 20 million to over 120 million users globally, placing it firmly among the top three exchanges by trading volume worldwide.

Her tenure has been marked by a strategic shift that broadened Bitget’s offerings well beyond derivatives. Today, the platform features world-class capabilities in spot trading, a thriving Launchpad and Launchpool ecosystem, AI-powered copy trading, asset management tools, and a widely adopted self-custody wallet through Bitget Wallet. Chen also plays an active role in expanding institutional relationships and securing high-impact partnerships that deepen Bitget’s footprint across key markets.

Outside of product and business development, Chen has made social responsibility a strong pillar of her leadership agenda at Bitget. She leads a $10 million Blockchain4Her (B4H) initiative, which was started to address gender equity in the blockchain industry. The initiative focuses on supporting women builders, developers, and entrepreneurs through education, funding, mentorship, and access to the global Web3 ecosystem. As a delegate to the UN Women CSW conference, Chen also brings critical Web3 perspectives to global discussions on gender and technology. Her background spans over a decade of experience in investment, entrepreneurship, and tech leadership.

Gracy Chen’s inclusion in CoinDesk’s Top 50 Women in Web3 and AI reflects her accomplishments in scaling Bitget into a multi-dimensional Web3 platform, and her growing influence in shaping a more inclusive future for the crypto industry.
