The collaboration brings together flight-critical systems, aerospace engineering and certification expertise to support Shunya's path to first flight

BENGALURU, India, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tata Elxsi, a global leader in design and technology services, and Sarla Aviation, an advanced air mobility company, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the development of Shunya, Sarla Aviation's six-seater plus one pilot electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.

The partnership brings together Sarla Aviation's vision for urban air mobility and Tata Elxsi's expertise in aerospace, software and flight critical digital engineering to support the aircraft's development, testing and certification.

The MoU was signed at Sarla Aviation's newly inaugurated headquarters in Bengaluru in the presence of Manoj Raghavan, CEO & Managing Director, Tata Elxsi; Adrian Schmidt, Co-Founder & CEO, Sarla Aviation; and Rakesh Gaonkar, Co-Founder & CTO, Sarla Aviation, along with members of the aerospace and engineering teams from both organisations.

Under the collaboration, Tata Elxsi will provide engineering support across avionics such as flight control systems, software integration, testing, verification and validation, and certification, while Sarla Aviation will lead the design, development and type certification of the Shunya platform. The engagement also creates opportunities to extend support across sensor fusion based navigation software, industrial and structural design, and airworthiness test support.

Designed for 300 Km+ range of flight operations, Shunya combines vertical take-off and landing capability with fixed-wing cruise efficiency, enabling runway-independent operations and improved propulsion efficiency.

The aircraft's first flight is targeted within the next 18 to 24 months, with certification activities expected to follow. The development reflects the growing role of Indian Aerospace companies in next-generation aircraft and advanced air mobility platforms.

Adrian Schmidt, Co-Founder & CEO, Sarla Aviation, said: "Building a new class of aircraft is not simply an engineering challenge. It requires bringing together people and organisations willing to solve problems that have never been solved before in this market. Tata Elxsi's experience in complex aerospace systems gives us access to capabilities that are critical as we take Shunya from concept to reality. What excites me most about this collaboration is that it brings together two teams that believe advanced air mobility can move from ambition to everyday infrastructure much sooner than many think."

Manoj Raghavan, CEO & Managing Director, Tata Elxsi, said: "Every major shift in transportation has been enabled by a combination of engineering innovation and ecosystem readiness. Advanced air mobility is no different, and Sarla Aviation's vision for Shunya reflects the ambition driving this transformation. Initiatives like this create opportunities to apply expertise built across aerospace, mobility and digital technologies to entirely new aviation platforms."

Jayaraj Rajapandian, Head of Aerospace, Tata Elxsi, added: "Shunya is a reminder of how quickly aerospace innovation is evolving in shaping the Technology landscape in India. As aircraft become increasingly fly-by-wire, electrified and connected, entirely new opportunities are emerging to rethink how people, goods and critical services move. We are excited to work alongside Sarla Aviation as they take this vision forward and contribute to the next phase of its journey."

Beyond Shunya, the partnership is expected to help strengthen capabilities relevant to logistics, air ambulance services and defence-related applications.

For Tata Elxsi, Advanced Air Mobility is a natural extension of the Connected, Autonomous and Electrification transformation reshaping transportation. By bringing together expertise from aerospace and mobility, Tata Elxsi is helping build the foundations for advanced air mobility platforms in the country.

De la vente de produits au récit d'histoires : comment un documentaire transforme le commerce en dialogue culturel USA - Français

Hangzhou International Communication Center

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

HANGZHOU, Chine, 1er septembre 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- La série documentaire « Cross-Border E-Commerce: Stories from China » (Commerce électronique transfrontalier : récits chinois), produite par le Centre international de communication de Hangzhou en partenariat avec la zone pilote globale de commerce électronique transfrontalier de Chine (Hangzhou), a enregistré plus de 8,35 millions de vues sur des plateformes internationales depuis sa diffusion en juillet. Cela reflète un changement profond : les entreprises passent de la simple vente de produits aux récits. Chaque produit devient un moyen de dialogue interculturel.

Cette série présente des cas concrets qui illustrent cette transformation. Une canne à pêche fabriquée en fibre de carbone de qualité aérospatiale a su convaincre les pêcheurs australiens grâce à plusieurs mois d'essais sur le terrain et à une collaboration avec les associations de pêche locales. Une boîte à outils rose, initialement destinée à contenir du matériel de bricolage, est réutilisée comme cadeau pour la Fête des Mères en Amérique du Nord, montrant à quel point la compréhension des modes de vie locaux peut transformer un objet utilitaire en un cadeau chargé d'émotion. Une chaise pivotante est devenue virale après la diffusion d'une courte vidéo qui a totalisé 14 millions de vues et s'est vendue à 80 000 exemplaires en deux mois – grâce à une chaîne d'approvisionnement qui livre 90 % des commandes aux États-Unis en deux jours. Une autre marque a consacré huit mois au développement d'une literie rafraîchissante destinée aux personnes qui ont chaud la nuit, démontrant ainsi que la patience et la connaissance des consommateurs sont plus importantes que la rapidité.

Derrière ces récits se cache l'écosystème de Hangzhou, fruit de dix années d'efforts : depuis 2015, le volume des échanges de commerce électronique transfrontalier de la ville a été multiplié par 1 266, et le nombre de vendeurs est passé de 200 à plus de 65 000. Ce documentaire montre comment le commerce numérique réduit les obstacles, permettant ainsi aux petites et moyennes entreprises d'être compétitives à l'échelle mondiale, de développer leurs propres marques et d'exercer un pouvoir de fixation des prix. Il souligne également les nouvelles tendances : les « entreprises unipersonnelles » basées sur l'IA, qui utilisent des agents intelligents pour gérer la conception, le marketing et le service client ; et les entrepôts sous douane qui font également office de studios de diffusion en direct afin d'apporter transparence et efficacité à la logistique mondiale.

Les experts interrogés dans le film soulignent que la conformité n'est plus une option, mais un passeport vers une croissance durable, tandis que les pôles d'activité physiques tels que l'Alibaba Center transforment « l'étage du haut et celui du bas en amont et en aval », intégrant ainsi l'ensemble de la chaîne industrielle dans un même espace. Le documentaire s'étend même jusqu'à Paris, où les entreprises et les plateformes de Hangzhou ont introduit plus de 3 500 marques françaises sur le marché chinois, et où un entrepôt à l'étranger permet une livraison internationale en trois jours.

Comme le soulignent les spécialistes, les produits véhiculent des valeurs de professionnalisme, de respect et de responsabilité à travers leur conception, leur qualité et le service associé. Le commerce fait partie du quotidien, le quotidien donne naissance à des récits, et ces récits deviennent des ponts qui relient le monde. À une époque où le commerce en ligne redéfinit les économies mondiales, l'expérience de Hangzhou offre un modèle reproductible qui montre que le commerce, lorsqu'il s'appuie sur l'empathie culturelle et l'innovation, constitue la forme la plus authentique de communication internationale.

Western China's Melody: Chinesische Volkstraditionen treffen auf HEDEGAARDs moderne Electronica USA - English

CHONGQING, China, 1. September 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- „Western China's Melody" ist eine interkulturelle Musikdokumentation, die gemeinsam von der Western China International Communication Organization (WCICO) und dem dänischen Produzenten HEDEGAARD produziert wurde. Bei den Dreharbeiten in zehn Städten und bei zehn ethnischen Gruppen, darunter Han, Tujia, Tibeter, Yi, Mongolen, Yugur, Hui, Zhuang, Dong sowie Dai, führte das Produktionsteam auf der 7200 Kilometer langen Reise intensive Feldforschung durch und dokumentierte dabei gefährdete Musiktraditionen wie Adu High-Pitched Melody, den mongolischen Tobshur sowie Xizang Layi.

Scan the QR code to explore the "Western China's Melody" journey.

HEDEGAARD, der mit über 1,7 Milliarden Streams weltweit als „König der Car-Audio-Szene" bekannt ist, war zwei Monate lang von den heiligen, schneebedeckten Hochebenen von Qinghai-Xizang bis zu den tropischen Regenwäldern von Xishuangbanna unterwegs. „Ich wollte diese Klänge nicht ‚nutzen'", erklärte er. „Ich wollte zuhören, bis sie mir ihre Seele anvertrauten." Unter der Leitung von WCICO-Direktor Feng Xiaolou tauchte er in den Alltag ein und lernte von den Trägern dieser Traditionen auf Feldern sowie an Feuerstellen das Spiel auf alten Instrumenten und verschiedene Gesangstechniken, wobei er stets darauf achtete, die Authentizität und kulturelle Integrität jeder Tradition zu bewahren.

Diese Philosophie prägte die zehnteilige Serie und das dazugehörige Album „KINΔ", dessen Titel sowohl an „China" als auch an „kin" (Familie) anknüpft. Drei charakteristische Titel veranschaulichen diesen Ansatz: Drumroll interpretiert Tujia Luo'er Tunes neu als Hymne der Widerstandskraft. Monolith verwandelt das Layi-Liebeslied aus Xizang in eine universelle Meditation über dauerhafte Liebe. Dancing with My Destiny lässt die reinen Harmonien der Cloudward Dong Angels über atmosphärischen Synth-Pads schweben. Wie der Kunstkritiker Xue Jinwen feststellte, „ersetzt das Projekt kulturelle Ausbeutung durch einen Dialog auf Augenhöhe".

Das Projekt fand weitreichende Resonanz. Innerhalb weniger Wochen nach seiner weltweiten Veröffentlichung am 27. Juli verzeichnete der Dokumentarfilm über 25,8 Millionen Aufrufe außerhalb Chinas, wobei besonders erfolgreiche Clips in Europa und Südostasien große Aufmerksamkeit fanden und das dazugehörige Album Nischencharts für elektronische Musik anführte. Höhepunkt der Reise war zudem ein Live-Konzert am 26. Juli („Magnificent Land, Melody of Western China - Night of International Musical Story") im Guotai Art Center in Chongqing. HEDEGAARD trat gemeinsam mit Tianqin-Spielern, mongolischen Kehlsängern und Kindern der Dong auf. Traditionelle Instrumente und Stimmen trafen auf live produzierte elektronische Musik und schufen so ein fesselndes audiovisuelles Erlebnis, das die Botschaft des Films von der Leinwand in einen gemeinsam erlebten Raum übertrug.

Von Dorfhöfen bis hin zu internationalen Leinwänden und Bühnen zeigt Western China's Melody, dass kultureller Austausch nicht auf kultureller Ausbeutung, sondern auf gegenseitigem Respekt und unvoreingenommener Neugier beruht. Das Projekt bietet ein übertragbares Modell dafür, lokale Geschichten mit globaler Resonanz zu erzählen, und beweist damit, dass Traditionen ganz von selbst neue Zuhörer, neue Rhythmen sowie neues Leben finden, wenn sie in ihrer eigenen Ausdrucksform gehört werden.

Neue Folge "Hartz und herzlich - Tag für Tag Rostock": Große Urlaubspläne und neue Aussichten

München (ots)

Jasmin und Maik arbeiten an ihrer Zukunft

Jana möchte sich mit einem Urlaub einen Traum erfüllen

Eine neue Folge "Hartz und herzlich - Tag für Tag Rostock" am 1. September 2026 um 20:15 Uhr bei RTLZWEI und sieben Tage vorab auf RTL+

Jasmin und Maik müssen derzeit mehrere Dinge gleichzeitig regeln: Das Ehepaar sucht weiterhin nach einer eigenen Wohnung, muss Anträge beim Jobcenter erneuern und hofft zugleich auf berufliche Fortschritte für Maik. Für Rentnerin Jana könnte unterdessen ein lang gehegter Wunsch wahr werden - sie möchte erstmals in ihrem Leben verreisen. Brigittes 33-jährige Tochter Jana passt auf den Hund eines Freundes auf, während Marita wichtige Unterlagen für ihre finanzielle Absicherung einreichen muss. Eine neue Folge "Hartz und herzlich - Tag für Tag Rostock" am 1. September 2026 um 20:15 Uhr bei RTLZWEI und sieben Tage vorab auf RTL+.

Jasmin und Maik leben derzeit übergangsweise bei Maiks Mutter Bärbel. Parallel zur Suche nach einer eigenen Bleibe steht ein Termin beim Jobcenter auf der Agenda, denn die Anträge für ihre Sozialleistungen müssen erneuert werden. Auch beruflich möchte Maik vorankommen: Bei einer Garten- und Landschaftsbaufirma hat er sich bereits persönlich vorgestellt. Das Gespräch lief gut under hat die Aussicht auf einen Minijob als Einstieg.

Rentnerin Jana plant einen Urlaub mit ihren Kindern und Enkelkindern. Für die Rostockerin wäre es die erste Reise ihres Lebens. Gemeinsam mit Tochter Steffi schaut sie nach geeigneten Unterkünften. Bei der Suche zeigt sich jedoch schnell, wie eng der finanzielle Spielraum ist. Viele Angebote liegen über dem vorgesehenen Budget und sorgen bei Mutter und Tochter für Ernüchterung. Finden sie dennoch ein Reiseziel, das für die ganze Familie bezahlbar ist?

Brigittes 33-jährige Tochter Jana bekommt Besuch: Ihr ehemaliger Pflegehund Toni, der inzwischen bei einem Bekannten lebt, verbringt Zeit bei ihr. Zuvor hatte der Vierbeiner unter anderem zwei Jahre auf den Straßen Russlands verbracht, bevor er zu Familien in Deutschland kam. Bei Jana löst das Zusammensein den Wunsch nach einem eigenen Hund aus, doch zugleich möchte sie wieder arbeiten gehen und hätte dadurch keine Kapazitäten für ein Haustier.

Für Marita stehen wiederum organisatorische und gesundheitliche Themen im Mittelpunkt. Die gelernte Hauswirtschaftlerin hat mit erhöhtem Blutdruck und Herzrasen zu tun und bezieht Erwerbsminderungsrente. Zusätzlich ist sie auf Wohngeld angewiesen, um ihre laufenden Ausgaben bestreiten zu können. Damit die Unterstützung weiterhin gesichert ist, muss sie nun den entsprechenden Antrag stellen.

Eine neue Folge "Hartz und herzlich - Tag für Tag Rostock", am 1. September 2026 um 20:15 Uhr bei RTLZWEIund sieben Tage vorab auf RTL+. Das Format wird produziert von UFA SHOW & FACTUAL.

Vienne redécouvre les compositeurs que le nazisme avait fait taire USA - Français

Le Quatuor Auner, lauréat du Concours Eugène Ysaÿe de Liège, consacre quatre concerts au Musikverein à une culture musicale brisée par l'exil

VIENNE, 1er septembre 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- « Quel projet audacieux, dans lequel le célèbre Quatuor Auner explore du nouveau et trace un vaste arc par-delà les clichés viennois », déclare Peter Marboe, ancien conseiller municipal de Vienne chargé de la culture et président du Fonds Alexander Zemlinsky.

Auner Quartett - Daniel Auner, Cristian Ruscior, Georg Wimmer, Konstantin Zelenin. Copyright Damián Posse Photography 2026

À partir du 25 novembre 2026, le Quatuor Auner présente au Musikverein de Vienne quatre concerts intitulés « Jenseits vom tanzenden Wien » (Par-delà la Vienne qui danse). Le cycle réunit des compositeurs doublement écartés : d'abord par l'engouement du public pour la musique de danse des Strauss, puis par le régime nazi, qui diffama leurs œuvres comme « dégénérées » et les contraignit à l'exil.

Au centre, Alexander Zemlinsky (1871–1942), figure clé du passage du romantisme tardif à la modernité. Professeur et beau-frère de Schönberg, dédicataire de la « Suite lyrique » de Berg, il dirigea à Vienne, Prague et Berlin avant de fuir en 1938 vers les États-Unis, où il mourut oublié. Une de ses œuvres résonne à chaque soirée.

Autour de lui, ceux qui partagèrent ce destin européen : Egon Wellesz, réfugié à Oxford ; Anton Webern, tué en 1945 ; Fritz Kreisler, dont le quatuor « Bekenntnis zu Wien » fut écrit en exil new-yorkais. Et Mary Dickenson-Auner (1880–1965), à qui il fut interdit de se produire à Vienne en 1938 et dont presque tous les quatuors ne subsistent qu'en manuscrit. Daniel Auner, qui lui est apparenté, joue sur son propre violon.

Le baryton Thomas Hampson chante le 17 mars 2027 des lieder de ces exilés. Fondé en 2013, le Quatuor Auner a remporté en 2018 le Concours Eugène Ysaÿe à Liège et fut ambassadeur culturel de l'Autriche (NASOM) en 2020/21. Son disque « Versinkende Sonne » fut élu « CD de l'année Ö1 2022 ».

Amber Premium Transforms into AMBR, Dedicated to Building Specialized AI Agents for Finance, Enterprise, and Growth

NEWS PROVIDED BY

AMBR

Sep 01, 2026, 03:30 ET

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

The Nasdaq-listed company marks a fundamental transformation of its business, drawing on nearly a decade of expertise from the team that founded Amber AI in 2017 to build specialized AI agents for high-stakes domains — launching with its flagship personal finance agent, Ambre

SINGAPORE, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Amber International Holding Limited (Nasdaq: AMBR) (the "Company"), previously operating under the brand name "Amber Premium", today announced that it is undertaking a fundamental business transformation into the new brand name AMBR. The transformed Company will operate as an agentic AI company dedicated to building specialized AI agents for finance, enterprise, and growth. The Company also announced the launch of Ambre, its flagship AI agent for personal finance, and the availability of MIA, its marketing AI agent, to enterprise clients.

Built on AI and Domain Expertise

AMBR is established by the same team that founded Amber AI in 2017, which later became Amber Group, bringing nearly a decade of experience across AI, financial markets, and technology into its next chapter. The Company combines AI-native builders with practitioners who have deep experience in financial markets and operating real-world businesses, bringing together advanced AI capabilities with real data, domain context, operational infrastructure, and real workflows to build agents for consequential use cases.

"We started as Amber AI in 2017, then spent nearly a decade in markets learning where intelligence stops and consequence begins," said Michael Wu, Founder and CEO of AMBR. "I have spent my career at the intersection of technology and financial markets — from programming and building AI systems to operating businesses in some of the most demanding markets. That experience showed me the gap between intelligence and real-world consequences, and that is what our agents are built for. I am excited about building AMBR full time and supporting the Company as it enters its next chapter."

Purpose-Built Agents for Real-World Use

Software engineering has been an early proving ground for agentic AI, showing how AI models can move beyond generating answers to completing tasks when connected to the right tools, context, data, and permissions. However, applying this model to other domains is more complex, particularly in areas such as finance and marketing, where agents need to operate within domain-specific data, applicable constraints, established workflows, and risk parameters. AMBR was created to address this challenge by developing AI agents purpose-built for these domains.

AMBR's agents are designed from the outset around specific verticals. Their development draws on AI technology, domain expertise, and deep understanding of real-world workflows, with the aim of enabling agents to interpret users' intent, coordinate relevant tasks, and support execution. As agents demonstrate reliability, AMBR aims to progressively expand the scope of tasks they can handle autonomously, particularly in high-stakes domains where expertise, precision, and trust matter. Ambre is the first agent built on this model.

Ambre: Turning Financial Intent Into Action

AMBR's first flagship product, Ambre, is designed to make personal finance more intelligent, conversational, and actionable.

Users can explore their financial information in natural language, with Ambre delivering insights grounded in their actual holdings and interests alongside relevant market intelligence. Beyond answering questions, Ambre can turn a user's objective into an ongoing task carrying out the specific instructions they define and approve — analyzing portfolios across accounts and asset classes, monitoring relevant developments and conditions, and alerting users to developments that affect their holdings.

Ambre is now available by invitation, with verified clients of Amber Premium receiving first access. Interested users can join the waitlist on this website.

MIA: Agency Expertise, Delivered by an AI Agent

MIA, AMBR's specialized AI agent for marketing, is now available directly to enterprise clients. Originally developed and commercially tested within AMBR's businesses, MIA has run more than 1,250 automated workflows, cutting turnaround times by an average of 85% within four months of rollout.

MIA follows the same agentic model in a different domain, connecting market intelligence, content production, and distribution into a single workflow. It continuously monitors brands, competitors, market signals, social channels, news, and AI search results to identify relevant opportunities and risks. It then helps teams turn insights into actionable marketing outputs — from research and strategic planning to content development, response planning, and distribution — with review and approval steps keeping users in control.

Together, Ambre and MIA demonstrate AMBR's approach of combining AI technology with domain expertise, data, and real-world workflows to build AI agents for specific use cases. The Company expects to introduce additional agents later in 2026.

About AMBR

AMBR (Amber International Holding Limited, Nasdaq: AMBR) is a Nasdaq-listed agentic AI company dedicated to building specialized AI agents for finance, enterprise, and growth — domains where the stakes are high and trust matters most. Founded by the team behind Amber AI in 2017, which later became Amber Group, AMBR combines AI technology with deep expertise in financial markets, real-world workflows, and trusted infrastructure.

AMBR is building a portfolio of purpose-built AI agents designed around specific use cases and end-to-end workflows, designed to help individuals and organizations evaluate opportunities, generate insights for decision-making, and organize workflows from intent to action. Its flagship agents include Ambre, an AI agent for personal finance, and MIA, a marketing AI agent proven within AMBR's businesses.

APUC names leading global mental health solution Uwill to new framework for student support services

EDINBURGH, Scotland, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Uwill, the leading global mental health and wellness solution, serving more than 5 million students across 1,000+ universities and other schools worldwide, today announced it has been appointed to the Advanced Procurement for Universities and Colleges (APUC)'s new framework agreement for Student Assistance and Support Services, after a competitive tender process.

Established in 2007, APUC is Scotland's shared purchasing body that negotiates agreements on behalf of Scotland's universities and colleges. Uwill was named to the framework's category for full-service counselling and student support.

"We are honoured to be named to this framework following such a rigorous and competitive review," said Michael London, Founder and CEO of Uwill. "It reflects the value that APUC has placed on immediate, accessible, and inclusive student mental health. We look forward to supporting institutions and students across the region."

The award comes amid rising demand for student mental health support across the UK. More than half of UK students (57%) report experiencing mental health challenges, a nearly threefold increase in the past decade, according to Student Minds. However, to ensure students in need connect with support, providing the right support is critical. Recent research shows that more than 50% of university students experiencing poor mental health do not access traditional support services, underscoring the importance of offering personalised, accessible, modern support like Uwill that encourage students to engage and receive the support they need, whenever they need it, wherever they need it.

A KUKA global executive delegation, led by the Vice President of Midea Group, visited Centron for an on-site tour and in-depth exchange on the development of intelligent assembly manufacturing and global market trends.

WUXI, China, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week, a global executive delegation from the KUKA Group, led by the Vice President of Midea Group, visited Centron. The delegation comprised members of KUKA Group's headquarters leadership team, together with business heads from multiple countries and regions.

As a leading global supplier of industrial robots and automation solutions, KUKA's decision to visit with a delegation of this level reflects both sides' shared interest in the development trends of intelligent assembly manufacturing. During the visit, the two sides held in-depth exchanges on industry developments, shifts in global markets, and potential areas of future synergy.

The delegation was hosted by Jed Wang, CEO of sister brand Leetx; Ouyang Su, General Manager of the Centron Product Line; Mike Wang, General Manager of the Centron Business Line; and Samuel Chen, Sales Director of Overseas Business. The KUKA executive team toured Centron's manufacturing base and gained a first-hand understanding of Centron's product portfolio and manufacturing capabilities in precision dispensing, potting, and trickling impregnation, and also received a briefing on Leetx's positioning in intelligent assembly technologies, including tightening, press-fitting, and automatic screw feeding.

In the exchange session that followed, the two sides drew on their respective global business experience to share observations and exchange views on the pace of development in the Chinese market, evolving manufacturing needs overseas, the future direction of the intelligent assembly manufacturing industry, and the technology roadmaps of process equipment and robotic platforms.

Jed Wang, CEO of Leetx, commented: "We place great value on exchanges with globally leading automation companies such as KUKA. This visit by KUKA's global executive team offered a valuable opportunity for both sides to deepen mutual understanding, share global market experience, and explore directions for potential future collaboration. As intelligent manufacturing continues to evolve, open dialogue and industry-wide synergy will open up new possibilities for innovation across the sector."

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Trina Storage, a global leader in energy storage solutions and a business unit of Trinasolar, announced its participation in Middle East Energy 2026, taking place from 1–3 September at Dubai World Trade Centre, where it will officially launch and showcase its latest Elementa + Electra energy storage solution for the first time in the Middle East at the Storage Pavilion, Booth Z3.F51.

Trina Storage at Middle East Energy 2026

The Elementa + Electra is an integrated DC + AC utility-scale energy storage solution that combines the latest DC battery system, Elementa 3, with a 6.25 MWh capacity, and the 13.8 MVA AC platform Electra. By integrating the DC battery system and AC platform, the solution helps simplify system integration and streamline deployment for large-scale energy storage projects. With system configurations ranging from 2 to 8 hours, Elementa + Electra provides greater flexibility to meet diverse project requirements and application needs.

As countries across the Middle East and Africa continue to increase renewable energy capacity and progress towards net-zero goals, energy storage is becoming increasingly important to the region's power systems. Battery energy storage can help balance renewable generation, strengthen grid stability and provide greater flexibility as more solar and other renewable energy sources are connected to the grid.

"The next phase of energy storage in the Middle East and Africa will be defined by the ability to deploy at scale while meeting increasingly demanding technical and operational requirements," said Jack Chen, Head of Energy Storage, MEA Region at Trinasolar. "For Trina Storage, the focus is on providing utilities and developers with integrated solutions that combine performance, reliability and flexibility to support the long-term development of energy storage across the region."

The solution delivers up to 50MWh of storage capacity and 13.8MVA of AC output, using 587Ah high-energy-density battery cells and achieving up to 96% full-chain system efficiency. Its fast-response power conversion capabilities include a 10ms full-power response, together with grid-forming and black-start functionality to support increasingly evolving grid requirements.

Safety and project delivery are also central to the system design. Elementa + Electra incorporates advanced thermal protection and multi-layer electrical safeguards, including a 120-minute fire resistance rating and six-fold electrical protection. Containerised transportation across the DC and AC sides, combined with factory-level testing, can also reduce on-site commissioning time by up to 50%, helping accelerate project deployment.
