DORTMUND, Allemagne, 23 sept. 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — REJO, une marque pionnière de l’industrie du tabac chauffé sans combustion (HNB), a eu un impact significatif lors du salon InterTabac de cette année, renforçant ainsi davantage encore sa position de fournisseur mondial pionnier en matière de solutions innovantes pour les produits du tabac.

Événement mondial de premier plan pour l’industrie du tabac, le salon InterTabac constitue une plateforme incontournable pour les acteurs de l’industrie qui souhaitent présenter leurs derniers produits et technologies. La participation de REJO a souligné son influence mondiale croissante ainsi que son engagement à faire progresser l’avenir de l’industrie des produits du tabac.

Engagée à améliorer l’expérience des utilisateurs de produits du tabac
Lors du salon InterTabac 2024, le stand de REJO a été au centre de toutes les attentions, attirant les foules grâce à une mise en avant dynamique et à ses présentations de produits de pointe.

Le message de la marque était axé sur sa mission visant à améliorer l’expérience des utilisateurs de produits du tabac en proposant des alternatives basées sur des technologies avancées. La mission de REJO, qui consiste à proposer des produits HNB diversifiés et de haute qualité tout en réduisant considérablement les produits chimiques nocifs, a trouvé un réel écho auprès des participants, suscitant ainsi les éloges des experts du secteur et des utilisateurs.

REJO a mis l’accent sur les valeurs fondamentales d’innovation, de haute qualité et de profond respect des riches traditions du tabac, tout en adoptant les récentes avancées technologiques en la matière. Le slogan de l’entreprise « Embrace the Future of Change » résume l’approche avant–gardiste de REJO qui se positionne en tant que marque qui non seulement évolue avec son époque, mais qui façonne également l’avenir de l’industrie.

Présentation du REJO AF1 et du REJO Mate Air
L’un des moments forts de la participation de REJO au salon InterTabac a été le dévoilement de ses deux nouveaux produits : le REJO AF1 et le REJO Mate Air. Ces appareils représentent les dernières avancées de la technologie HNB, avec une conception et des fonctionnalités de pointe qui répondent aux besoins des fumeurs modernes.

Le REJO AF1 est un appareil de chauffage de pointe spécialement conçu pour les bâtonnets granulaires et offrant une combinaison idéale grâce à ses bâtonnets granulaires de tabac de marque propre OICES et à ses bâtonnets granulaires à base de plantes TOZE. S’appuyant sur une technologie avancée de chauffage par flux d’air chaud, le REJO AF1 garantit que chaque granule de tabac est chauffé de manière uniforme et complète. Cette méthode préserve l’arôme naturel du tabac tout en réduisant la production de substances chimiques nocives, offrant ainsi aux utilisateurs une expérience plus riche et plus satisfaisante.

Un rayonnement mondial renforcé
Outre la présentation de ses derniers produits, REJO a annoncé ses projets d’expansion mondiale, marquant ainsi une étape majeure dans la croissance internationale de la marque.

REJO a déjà établi une forte présence en Asie du Sud–Est, en introduisant les produits de bâtonnets chauffants HOMER et SIU en Malaisie et en Indonésie où la demande de produits chauffés sans combustion est en hausse.

Forte de cette dynamique, REJO est désormais prête à lancer de nouveaux produits en Europe et aux Émirats arabes unis, ces régions étant identifiées comme des marchés clés pour l’innovation en matière de produits HNB. La signature d’un protocole d’accord (MOU) avec un partenaire majeur de la République tchèque lors du salon InterTabac 2024 a constitué une étape importante de cette stratégie, car elle renforcera l’ancrage de REJO en Europe parallèlement à sa présence grandissante en Italie.

Cette stratégie vise à répondre à la demande croissante de produits du tabac à risque réduit en proposant des appareils et des bâtonnets chauffants sur mesure qui répondent aux préférences locales. Grâce à des campagnes marketing localisées et à des partenariats conclus avec des distributeurs régionaux, REJO vise à consolider sa présence sur le marché et à s’établir en tant que marque leader dans ces régions.

  • Das Unternehmen kündigt auf der InterTabac 2024 globale Expansionspläne an

DORTMUND, Deutschland, Sept. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — REJO, eine bahnbrechende Marke in der Heat–Not–Burn (HNB)–Tabakbranche, hat auf der diesjährigen InterTabac–Veranstaltung einen bedeutenden Eindruck hinterlassen und seine Position als bahnbrechender globaler Anbieter von innovativen Tabaklösungen weiter gefestigt.

Als weltweit führende Veranstaltung für die Tabakbranche ist die InterTabac eine wichtige Plattform für die Akteure der Branche, um ihre neuesten Produkte und Technologien vorzustellen. Die Teilnahme von REJO unterstrich den wachsenden globalen Einfluss des Unternehmens und sein Engagement, die Zukunft des Rauchens voranzutreiben.

Wir haben uns zum Ziel gesetzt, das Raucherlebnis zu verbessern
Auf der InterTabac 2024 war der Stand von REJO ein Blickfang, der mit seinen lebendigen Displays und innovativen Produktpräsentationen die Massen anlockte.

Die Botschaft der Marke konzentrierte sich auf ihre Mission, das Raucherlebnis zu verbessern, indem sie durch fortschrittliche Technologien Alternativen anbietet. Die Mission von REJO, vielfältige und qualitativ hochwertige HNB–Produkte zu liefern und gleichzeitig schädliche Chemikalien deutlich zu reduzieren, fand bei den Teilnehmern großen Anklang und wurde von Branchenexperten und Verbrauchern gleichermaßen gelobt.

REJO betonte die Kernwerte Innovation, hohe Qualität und tiefen Respekt für die reichen Traditionen des Tabaks bei gleichzeitiger Berücksichtigung moderner Entwicklungen. Der Slogan „Embrace the Future of Change“ (Die Zukunft der Veränderung annehmen) bringt den zukunftsorientierten Ansatz von REJO auf den Punkt und positioniert die Marke so, dass sie nicht nur mit der Zeit geht, sondern auch die Zukunft der Branche mitgestaltet.

Die Einführung von REJO AF1 und REJO Mate Air
Ein großer Höhepunkt der Teilnahme von REJO an der InterTabac war die Vorstellung der beiden neuen Produkte des Unternehmens: REJO AF1 und REJO Mate Air. Diese Geräte stellen die neuesten Fortschritte in der HNB–Technologie dar und zeichnen sich durch modernes Design und Funktionalität aus, die den Bedürfnissen moderner Raucher entsprechen.

Der REJO AF1 ist ein hochmodernes Erhitzungsgerät, das speziell für Granulatsticks entwickelt wurde und sich ideal mit den Tabak–Granulatsticks der Eigenmarke OICES und den Kräuter–Granulatsticks TOZE kombinieren lässt. Der REJO AF1 nutzt die fortschrittliche Heißlufterhitzungs–Technologie und sorgt dafür, dass jedes Tabakkörnchen gleichmäßig und gründlich erhitzt wird. Bei dieser Methode bleibt das natürliche Tabakaroma erhalten, während die Produktion schädlicher Chemikalien reduziert wird, was zu einem reicheren und befriedigenderen Raucherlebnis führt.

Drei Hauptfarben des neuen REJO AF1–Erhitzers

Der REJO Mate Air ist eine weitere innovative Ergänzung der Produktpalette von REJO und ideal für Benutzer, die Wert auf Mobilität legen, ohne Kompromisse bei der Leistung einzugehen. Dieses kompakte und leichte Gerät ist mit einer fortschrittlichen runden Erhitzertechnologie ausgestattet, die dichte Wolken und ein kräftiges Aroma erzeugt. Sein schlankes Design und seine benutzerfreundlichen Funktionen machen es zu einer ausgezeichneten Wahl sowohl für neue als auch für erfahrene HNB–Nutzer.

Komplette Reihe der neuen REJO Mate Air–Erhitzer

Erhöhung der globalen Reichweite
Neben der Vorstellung der neuesten Produkte kündigte REJO globale Expansionspläne an, die einen wichtigen Meilenstein für das internationale Wachstum der Marke darstellen.

REJO hat bereits eine starke Präsenz in Südostasien aufgebaut und die HOMER– und SIU–Erhitzerstick–Produkte in Malaysia und Indonesien eingeführt, wo die Nachfrage nach Heat–Not–Burn–Produkten steigt.

Aufbauend auf dieser Dynamik wird REJO nun neue Produkte in Europa und den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten einführen, da diese Regionen als Schlüsselmärkte für HNB–Innovationen gelten. Ein wichtiger Schritt in dieser Strategie war die Unterzeichnung einer Absichtserklärung mit einem wichtigen Partner aus der Tschechischen Republik während der InterTabac 2024, wodurch REJO neben seiner wachsenden Präsenz in Italien auch in Europa stärker Fuß fassen konnte.

Diese Strategie zielt darauf ab, die steigende Nachfrage nach risikoärmeren Tabakerzeugnissen zu befriedigen, indem maßgeschneiderte Geräte und Erhitzersticks angeboten werden, die den lokalen Vorlieben gerecht werden. Durch lokalisierte Marketingkampagnen und Partnerschaften mit regionalen Händlern will REJO seine Marktpräsenz festigen und sich als führende Marke in diesen Regionen etablieren.

Beliebtheit auf der Veranstaltung
Die Beliebtheit von REJO auf der InterTabac 2024 war unbestreitbar. Am Stand der Marke herrschte durchgehend reger Betrieb, da die Besucher in Scharen kamen, um die neuen Produkte aus erster Hand zu erleben. Fachleute aus der Branche, Medienvertreter und Verbraucher waren allesamt begierig darauf, mehr über die Angebote von REJO zu erfahren, und viele lobten das Engagement der Marke für Innovation und Qualität.

Der positive Empfang bei der Veranstaltung ist ein Beweis für den wachsenden Einfluss von REJO auf dem globalen HNB–Markt. Die Fähigkeit der Marke, ein so vielfältiges und engagiertes Publikum anzuziehen, unterstreicht ihre starke Marktpositionierung und die Attraktivität ihrer Produktpalette. Das erfolgreiche Debüt von REJO AF1 und REJO Mate Air untermauert den Ruf der Marke als Branchenführer.

Bitget and Foresight Ventures Invest $30 Million in TON Blockchain to Accelerate Growing Telegram-based Projects

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Sept. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, and Foresight Ventures, a leading Web3 investment firm, have announced a strategic investment of $30 million into TON (The Open Network) Blockchain. This investment will be allocated through the acquisition of TON tokens and aims to accelerate further the adoption of Tap–to–Earn, GameFi, and new emerging trends within the TON ecosystem.

The TON–based projects present a strong use case for mass adoption through the Telegram ecosystem, which has seen substantial growth in recent years as it expands its offerings for Web3 startups. According to a recent TON report from Bitget Research, TON Blockchain, which benefits from Telegram’s 950 million users, has rapidly become one of 2024's fastest–growing blockchains. It has experienced over tenfold growth in on–chain transactions, ecosystem TVL, and DEX trading volume, with viral dApps like Catizen, DOGS, and Tomarket amassing millions of users.

The commitment to TON Blockchain comes at a time when Bitget has witnessed remarkable growth in its user base. By focusing on ecosystem development and expanding its services, Bitget has grown its global user count to 45 million in Q3 2024, almost doubling in the past 12 months. This surge is partly attributed to the increasing demand for innovative projects, particularly those driven by platforms like TON.

In 2024, Bitget Wallet contributed to the TON ecosystem with TONNECT 2024, a major online event aimed at accelerating the growth of emerging dApps in the TON ecosystem. Thanks to TON's growing user interest in Bitget's decentralized wallet, Bitget Wallet continuously topped the charts amongst all apps in Nigeria taking over world–famous apps such as TikTok and WhatsApp on Apple's App Store.

“As Bitget continues to BUIDL around The Open Network, our investment in the TON ecosystem provides a solid foundation for driving initiatives that align with our vision. By integrating our expertise in crypto infrastructure with TON’s decentralized architecture, we are well–positioned to strengthen the development of innovative products and solutions. Together, we are bringing the crypto industry closer to mass adoption than ever before.” commented Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.

“The surge of the TON ecosystem represents the biggest growth opportunity in the cryptocurrency market this year, and in the next 3 to 5 years. Over the past six months, TON's TVL has increased 18–fold, reaching $350 million.” Forest Bai, Co–Founder and CEO of Foresight Ventures, stated: “The ecosystem currently boasts over 1,000 dApps, with many applications having millions of users. We hope to continue supporting developers within the TON ecosystem by providing investment, incubation, and marketing support.”

With the $30 million investment, Bitget and Foresight Ventures will engage more deeply in the future development plans of TON Blockchain, supporting the emergence and go–to–market of more blockbuster dApps on TON.

It Is Time to Save The Deep Sea

By Surangel S. Whipps Jr. and Helen Clark
NEW YORK, Sep 23 2024 – This week’s United Nations General Assembly marks nearly 20 years since the body first resolved to restrict bottom trawling on the world’s seamounts, submarine mountains that rise thousands of feet above the sea floor and comprise some of the most biologically rich marine ecosystems on the planet.

Led by Palau and other small island nations with generations-long ties to the ocean, the ensuing decades witnessed a raft of subsequent agreements that expanded protections for more of the deep sea—the dark, cold waters below 200 meters—culminating last year with the adoption of a treaty to protect marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.

These are important achievements that should be celebrated. But, we have been involved in diplomacy long enough to know that such agreements are often just the beginning of a long and winding journey to full implementation.

Today, for instance, not only does bottom trawling continue on seamounts, it occurs in ever deeper waters, despite scientific evidence of the severe damage it causes to corals and other habitats. In fact, the UN’s most recent World Ocean Assessment found that “fishing, especially bottom trawling, constitutes the greatest current threat to seamount ecosystems”.

A similar story is unfolding elsewhere in the deep sea. Not long ago, the crushing pressure and near total darkness of the mesopelagic layer of the ocean, sometimes referred to as the “twilight zone” (200-1000 meters deep), was thought to be inhospitable to life.

However, technological advances like submersibles and remotely operated vehicles, now offer a window on a world that is alive with deep water fish, squid, and shrimp. It is estimated that this marine realm holds up to 95 percent of all ocean fish by weight and as many as 10 million different species—a level of biodiversity akin to tropical rainforests.

We also now know that the deep sea environment is critical to the health of the ocean’s wider food web, including fish stocks that countless people around the world depend on for food and employment.

Moreover, new research has revealed that the mesopelagic’s staggering biomass plays an indispensable role in the climate system by keeping enormous amounts of heat-trapping gasses out of the atmosphere in a process known as the carbon pump.

However, as overfishing, pollution, and rapidly warming waters continue to take a toll on global fish stocks, nations have increasingly been looking at authorizing their fleets to exploit the deep sea in order to meet the insatiable demand for fish products used in fertilizer, aquaculture, and dietary supplements.

The danger of overexploitation doesn’t end 1000 meters down. Mining companies have long looked to extend their reach from the land into the deep sea. Today, for example, the UN-affiliated International Seabed Authority, which regulates deep-sea mining, is working on finalizing rules to manage commercial operations on the ocean floor.

It has already permitted exploratory mining voyages in the Pacific’s vast Clarion-Clipperton Zone, where the ships dredge the sea floor 4000-5000 meters below the surface for nodules of nickel, manganese, copper, and cobalt that without government subsidies would never turn a profit.

As elsewhere, the activities could cause irreversible damage to the ecosystem and potentially release carbon that has been stored safely for millennia. If approved, full-scale mining could commence in a few years.

Remarkably (and not without irony), research funded in part by a corporate mining interest recently discovered the presence of “dark oxygen” in the same area of the seabed. It has long been understood that oxygen was created by living organisms in the presence of light through the process of photosynthesis.

However, a study published over the summer suggests that the electrochemical properties of the aforementioned nodules can generate oxygen in total darkness. The findings could have far-reaching implications that help us understand the origins of life and demonstrate the high stakes involved with mining.

As we have begun to unravel the mysteries of the deep sea over the past two decades, the wisdom behind the international community’s commitments to protect it is clearer than ever. Our imperative task today is to fully implement them before it is too late.

Surangel S. Whipps Jr. is the president of Palau and Helen Clark is the former prime minister of New Zealand.

Queen Mathilde of Belgium, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, Forest Whitaker, UN Agency Heads and other dignitaries join survivors and advocates for ending child violence in New York, during the UN General Assembly

NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Queen Mathilde of Belgium, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, UN Agency Heads and other dignitaries met survivors and advocates for ending violence against children in New York on Sunday night (22 September). They are in New York for the UN General Assembly, where world leaders have come together for its 79th session (UNGA 79).

They met survivors, public figures and Government leaders from around the world, including Sweden, Colombia, Zimbabwe, Georgia, Canada, Iceland, Brazil and the UK to discuss the urgent issue at an intimate event, hosted by Director General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus of the World Health Organisation and organised by Project Everyone, on the fringes of the UN General Assembly. They heard survivor testimonies as well as reflections and commitments from leaders.

This high–level gathering comes days after survivors, advocates and allies released an open letter (17 September 2024), which demands urgent action from world leaders ahead of the first–ever Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children, taking place in Colombia this November.

Signatories of the letter include public figures Forest Whitaker, Shudu Musida and Will Poulter, who also attended the special event.

According to World Health Organisation each year one in two of all children globally – over 1 billion – experience violence such as corporal punishment, bullying at school, online violence and sexual abuse. Other significant forms of violence include gang violence, child marriage and child labour.

Evidence shows that breakthrough solutions to end all forms of violence against children include providing parenting support, implementing school–based interventions, offering child–friendly social and health services, adopting protective laws, and ensuring a safer internet for children. Countries that implement these evidence–based strategies can reduce violence against children by up to 50%.

As MC of the event Will Poulter, Actor and Ambassador for The Diana Awards anti–bullying programme, said:
“Violence takes many forms – both physical and psychological – and each leaves a lasting impact on those who experience it. With one billion children around the world experiencing such violence, the statistics are staggering, but they represent real lives, and it’s our collective responsibility to ensure that these children are protected.”

By Naureen Hossain
UNITED NATIONS, Sep 23 2024 – Driving the Summit of the Future’s core messages of international solidarity and decisive action are young people who are determined to address the intersecting issues that the world contends with today.

During the Summit’s Action Days (20-21 September), it was young people who led the conversations of increasing and defining meaningful engagement, both on- and off-site from the United Nations Headquarters.

Not only are they driving the conversation, but in the Pact for the Future adopted by world leaders at the United Nations on Sunday (September 22), youth and future generations are at the forefront of global leaders’ concerns, and their role was clearly defined with the first ever Declaration on Future Generations, with concrete steps to take account of future generations in our decision-making, including a possible envoy for future generations.

This includes a commitment to more “meaningful opportunities for young people to participate in the decisions that shape their lives, especially at the global level.”

Building the Future: Synergetic Collaboration on Nuclear and Climate Crises, a side event whose co-organizers included Soka Gakkai International (SGI) and the Future Action Festival Organizing Committee, with the support of the United Nations University (UNU) and the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC), brought together young activists to discuss the intersection between two different crises and what will define meaningful youth engagement.

Kaoru Nemoto, the Director General of UNIC in Tokyo, observed that it was “ground-breaking” to see the agenda of the Summit’s Action Days largely led and organized by youth participants, as signified by the majority of seats in the General Assembly Hall being filled by young activists.


“There is an undercurrent, a common message, that the youth can make this world a better place to live,” said Nemoto. “No matter what agenda you are working on, be it climate change, nuclear disarmament, fighting inequality… youth issues are cross-cutting, very strong cross-cutting issues across the board.”

Nemoto further added that the United Nations needs to do much more to engage youth for meaningful participation. This would mean allowing youth to consult in decision-making and to be in positions of leadership. Youth presence cannot be reduced to tokenism.

The climate and nuclear crises are existential threats that are deeply connected, said Dr. Tshilidzi Marwala, the rector of the United Nations University. Climate instability fuels the factors that lead to conflict and displacement. Conflict, such as what is happening in Sudan, Israel, Palestine, and Ukraine, increases the risk of nuclear escalation. As leaders in the present day tackle the issues, Marwala called on the youth to continue raising their voices and to hold those powers accountable.

Marwala noted that the United Nations University would be committed to “realizing meaningful participation” in all parties. For young people, while they are motivated and demonstrate a care for deeper social issues, they face challenges in having their voices heard or in feeling galvanized to take action. Marwala noted that it was important to reach out to those young people who are either not involved or feel discouraged from getting involved in political work and activism.

Chief among the Summit of the Future’s agenda is increasing youth participation in decision-making processes. It has long been acknowledged that young activists and civil society actors drive greater societal change and are motivated to act towards complex issues. Yet they frequently face challenges in participating in policymaking that would shape their countries’ positions.

Among these challenges are representation in political spaces. Within the context of Japan, young people are underrepresented in local and national politics. As Luna Serigano, an advocate from the Japan Youth Council, shared during the event, there is a wider belief among young voters in Japan that their voices will go unheard by authorities.

This is indicated in voter turnout, which shows that only 37 percent of voters are in their 20s, and only 54 percent of voters believe that their votes matter. By contrast, 71 percent of people in their 70s voted in elections. People in their 30s or younger account for just 1 percent of professionals serving in government councils and forums. The Japan Youth Council is currently advocating for active youth participation in the country’s climate change policy by calling for young people to be directly involved as committee members to work on a new energy plan for the coming year.

Yuuki Tokuda, a co-founder of GeNuine, a Japan-based NGO that explores nuclear issues through a gender perspective, shared that young people are out of decision-making spaces. Although their voices may be heard, it is not enough. As she told IPS, the climate and nuclear crises are on the minds of young people in Japan. And while they have ideas on what could be done, they are not informed on how to act.

There is some hope for increasing participation. Tokuda shared within policymakers on nuclear issues, of which 30 percent include women, have begun to engage with young people in these discussions.

“It is time to reconstruct systems so that youth can meaningfully participate in these processes,” said Tokuda. “We need more intergenerational participation in order to work towards the ban of nuclear weapons and the climate crisis.”

During the event, what meaningful youth engagement should look like was discussed. It was acknowledged that efforts have gone towards giving a space to the perspectives of young people. Including young people in the discussions is a critical step. It was suggested that direction should shift towards ensuring that young people have the authority to take the action needed to resolve intersecting, complex issues. Otherwise, the inclusion is meaningless.

“The future-oriented youth is more needed than ever to tackle the challenges in building and maintaining peace,” said Mitsuo Nishikata of SGI.

“As a youth-driven initiative such as what the Future Action Festival demonstrates, youth solidarity can stand as a starting point for resolving and passing issues.”

Next year (2025) will mark 80 years since the end of World War II and the Hiroshima-Nagasaki atomic bombings. Nishikata pointed out that this will be a time for crucial opportunities to advance the discussions on nuclear disarmament and climate action, ahead of the Third Meeting of State Parties on the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and the 30th UN Climate Conference (COP30).

“We will continue to unite in our desire for peace, sharing the responsibility for future generations and expanding grassroots actions in Japan and globally.

Other commitments for the Pact for the Future included the first multilateral recommitment to nuclear disarmament in more than a decade, with a clear commitment to the goal of totally eliminating nuclear weapons.

It also pledged reform of the United Nations Security Council since the 1960s, with plans to improve the effectiveness and representativeness of the Council, including by redressing the historical underrepresentation of Africa as a priority.

The pact has at its core a commitment to “turbo-charge” implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including the reform of the international financial architecture so that it better represents and serves developing countries.

“We cannot build a future that is suitable for our grandchildren with a system that our grandparents created,” as the Secretary-General António Guterres stated.
