Hankook's Ventus Delivers Unwavering Performance Throughout WRC FORUM8 Rally Japan's Ever-Changing Conditions

Hankook Tire — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 10:40:28 +0900

・Round 7 of the 2026 WRC unfolded across the Aichi and Gifu regions of Japan, featuring fierce competition on rugged mountain stages
・Ventus Z215 and Z210 rally tires delivered stable grip and consistent performance in rapidly changing road conditions
・Round 8 of the 2026 WRC season, EKO Acropolis Rally Greece, will take place from June 25 to 28 in the Loutraki area of central Greece

TOYOTA CITY, Japan, June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A leading global tire company Hankook Tire & Technology (Hankook), the exclusive tire supplier to the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), has successfully concluded Round 7 of the 2026 WRC, FORUM8 Rally Japan, held across the Aichi and Gifu regions of Japan.

[Photo] WRC 2026 Rally Japan – Toyota GAZOO Racing World Rally Team

The rally unfolded across 20 Special Stages (SS) covering a total competitive distance of 302.82 kilometers on tarmac. Staged on steep mountain asphalt roads flanked by sheer cliffs, barriers, and dense woodland, the high-difficulty layout demanded constant concentration and precise vehicle control from drivers throughout.

Mountain fog, localized rainfall, rapidly shifting surface temperatures and humidity kept road conditions in constant flux, making tire grip and handling performance critical variables throughout the rally. With narrow roads and virtually no straight sections, even the slightest mistake risked vehicle damage or stage retirement, placing stable line-holding and precise vehicle control at the heart of drivers' strategies.

Throughout the rally, Hankook supplied its tarmac rally tires, the Ventus Z215 and Ventus Z210, delivering stable performance across the event. The Ventus Z215, optimized for dry surfaces, delivered outstanding cornering and handling performance even through successive high-speed corner sequences, while the Ventus Z210, engineered for damp surface conditions, provided excellent drainage and reliable grip to support drivers' precise vehicle control.

Round 7 drew intense interest from local fans, as the event was held on the home ground of Toyota GAZOO Racing. The narrow, unforgiving mountain stages served as the backdrop for fierce position battles and intense rallying, further heightening the event atmosphere.

After a closely fought contest, Elfyn Evans of Toyota GAZOO Racing World Rally Team claimed overall victory at FORUM8 Rally Japan, marking his second win of the 2026 season. Evans now leads the Drivers' Championship standings with 151 points, with teammate Takamoto Katsuta following on 131 points.

The 2026 WRC season now moves to Round 8, EKO Acropolis Rally Greece, scheduled from June 25 to 28 in Loutraki, central Greece. Widely regarded as one of the most grueling events of the season, the rally's extreme mountain terrain, rough gravel surfaces, and temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius will place tire durability and thermal stability under the spotlight.

Hankook has served as the exclusive rally tire supplier for all WRC classes since the 2025 season, driving technological leadership on the global motorsport stage. By integrating racing data gathered from WRC and over 70 global motorsport championships into its R&D, Hankook continues to advance its high-performance tire lineup while strengthening the presence of its global premium brand 'Hankook.'

Calibrite Display Plus HL Receives Apple Approval for Hardware-Level Display Calibration

Calibrite — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 10:37:45 +0900

For the first time, creative professionals can calibrate Apple displays at hardware level — with a colorimeter priced for working creatives

NORTH WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Calibrite, the global color management brand trusted by photographers, filmmakers, and designers worldwide, announced today that the Calibrite Display Plus HL has received Apple approval for use with Apple's built-in display calibration system.

It is the first colorimeter to achieve this distinction.

The approval enables hardware-level calibration for Apple Studio Display, Apple Studio Display XDR, Apple Pro Display XDR, and supported MacBook Pro models, working natively within Apple's macOS calibration workflow.

Calibration Written to the Display, Not Layered on Top

Unlike profile-based adjustment, Apple's display calibration system writes settings directly to the display, refining white point, luminance, and color accuracy at the source. A single calibration session updates every reference mode simultaneously, delivering consistent, reliable color across the full brightness range — from SDR to HDR content up to 2,000 nits peak brightness.

Until now, this level of hardware-level precision required professional spectroradiometers designed for dedicated color facilities — instruments priced well beyond the reach of most working creatives. At $339, Calibrite Display Plus HL changes that.

"Calibrite Display Plus HL is the first colorimeter Apple has approved for hardware-level display calibration — and at under $400, it puts that precision within reach of every serious creator working on Apple hardware. That's a meaningful shift for our community."

Stefan Zrenner, General Manager, Calibrite

Built for Apple's Evolving Color Standards

Calibrite Display Plus HL is designed to work with Apple's latest color technologies, including Apple CMF 2026, Apple's next-generation Color Matching Function that advances beyond the dated CIE 1931 standard — ensuring accurate and dependable results as display technology continues to evolve.

For professionals who require a comprehensive color management workflow, Calibrite Display Plus HL works alongside Calibrite PROFILER software for ICC profiling, validation, and reporting — providing a complete end-to-end solution.

Availability

Calibrite Display Plus HL is available through authorized retailers and calibrite.com.

Supported displays include:

・Apple Studio Display (2022 and 2026)
・Apple Studio Display XDR
・Apple Pro Display XDR
・Supported MacBook Pro models (M1–M5 Pro/Max and later)

About Calibrite

Calibrite is a global color management brand committed to developing and manufacturing the highest quality, professional color management tools while providing education and inspiration for creatives who are passionate about color. From professional photographers and filmmakers to designers and content creators, Calibrite helps creative professionals get their color right. For more information, visit calibrite.com.

Before kick-off, fans in-stadium and across global broadcast were surprised by Sir David Beckham appearing on screens asking fans: 'ready to kick things off?'. As Beckham dropped a coin into a jukebox, setting a vinyl of The Killers in motion, the pitch was transformed into a neon lit spectacle, with bold visuals and choreography inspired by the band's Las Vegas roots.

With a longstanding heritage in sport and music, Pepsi has presented the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show since 2016, each year merging the worlds of football and music together to create a night of epic entertainment.

Duke-NUS graduates biggest class yet, with new doctors drawn from business, engineering and the humanities

Duke-NUS Medical School — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 10:21:42 +0900

At his first graduation as Dean, Patrick Tan presides over a record class of 135 graduates, with Guest of Honour Mdm Rahayu Mahzam and keynote speaker Dr Robert Califf

SINGAPORE, May 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- From engineers and business graduates to literature and communications majors, Duke-NUS Medical School's largest graduating class to date reflects the widening range of backgrounds now flowing into medicine in Singapore. A total of 135 graduates crossed the stage on Saturday, including 78 new doctors from the MD programme.

The commencement ceremony, the first to be led by Dean Professor Patrick Tan, was attended by Guest of Honour Mdm Rahayu Mahzam, Minister of State for Digital Development and Information and for Health, and featured keynote remarks by Dr Robert Califf, who spoke about the extraordinary opportunities and upheavals now reshaping medicine, healthcare and biomedical science.

The Class of 2026 comprised 72 graduates from the MD programme, 6 MD-PhD graduates, 38 PhD graduates from Duke-NUS' Integrated Biology and Medicine, Quantitative Biology and Medicine, and Clinical and Translational Sciences programmes, and 19 graduates from the Master's in Patient Safety and Healthcare Quality. Among the MD graduands, there was an even split of 39 men and 39 women.

Another hallmark of Duke-NUS' graduate-entry model is the breadth of experience its students bring into medicine. In the Class of 2026, that range includes graduates from engineering, product development, computer science, multimedia, business, accountancy, linguistics, psychology, history, communications, literature and the sciences.

A defining feature of Duke-NUS' graduate-entry model is its emphasis on research. MD students devote their entire third year to research, and the Class of 2026 leaves behind a substantial body of published work across topics such as artificial intelligence in healthcare, predictive clinical tools, biological discovery, diagnostic innovation and population health. Together, the class produced 71 papers, including in journals such as Cell, TheLancet Microbe, Nature Communications, and npjDigital Medicine.

One of the standout papers, by MD-PhD graduate Charles Kevin Dee Tiu, described a rapid test that identified infection-blocking antibodies within hours to support Singapore's COVID-19 response. Published in Nature Biotechnology, the paper has been cited 1,392 times.

Dean Professor Patrick Tan said, "When the School was established, the aim was not simply to add another medical school to Singapore. It was to create something different by design: a graduate-entry medical school that brings together the strengths of Duke and NUS and is deeply embedded in Singapore's healthcare system through SingHealth. That vision is reflected in this class. Our graduates bring intellectual range, a strong sense of service and the ability to think across disciplines at a time when medicine is being reshaped by science, technology and wider societal change."

Community service also stood out strongly in the Class of 2026. Across their years at Duke-NUS, students took part in at least 14 community projects in Singapore and overseas.

These included school-readiness programmes for families, overseas medical missions to Nepal and Sri Lanka, Healthy-To-Thrive, a project which offers public health screening for chronic diseases for migrant workers, and community initiatives such as the Paediatric Solid Brain Tumour Awareness Day and Camp SIMBA, an annual camp for children whose loved ones are living with cancer.

Dr Jiang Qianfeng, graduating speaker of the MD Class of 2026 and recipient of both the Ngee Ann Kongsi Distinguished Scholars Programme and the Mount Elizabeth-Gleneagles Graduate Scholarship, said, "Our Class of 2026 demonstrated a deep commitment to service across diverse communities, from rural outreach programmes in Nepal and Sri Lanka, to local initiatives supporting children with brain tumours, migrant workers, community health and women's health. These experiences reminded us that medicine doesn't start and end within hospital walls and they strengthened our commitment to serve wherever the need is greatest."

Among the initiatives shaped during the class's time at Duke-NUS was Project WISE (Women's Integrated Screening & Education), a programme that provides women with blood pressure and body mass index screenings, alongside education on mental health and breast cancer awareness. It is organised by the Women in Medicine student interest group, founded by MD graduand Dr Chan Kai Lin, and supported by the Association of Women Doctors (Singapore).

As Patrick Tan's first graduating class as Dean, the Class of 2026 signals where Duke-NUS is headed: educating doctors and scientists who not only have their strengths in clinical practice, but are also able to work across research, innovation, technology and broader challenges shaping health today.

About Duke-NUS Medical School

Creality Charts Next Decade as AI-Powered Consumer 3D Creative Platform, Hong Kong listing anchors the company's full-stack ecosystem shift

Shenzhen Creality 3D Technology Co., Ltd. — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 10:14:46 +0900

HONG KONG, May 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As an emerging segment at the intersection of intelligent manufacturing and creative consumption, the global consumer 3D printing industry has become one of the fastest-growing markets in consumer technology. According to China Insights Industry Consultancy Limited ("CIC"), the global consumer 3D printing market reached US$6.0 billion in GMV in 2025 and is projected to grow to US$27.2 billion by 2030, a compound annual growth rate of 33.2%. With its product innovation, global channel network and AI-powered creative ecosystem, Creality has secured a defining position in the global consumer 3D printing value chain, and reached a new capital markets milestone.

Shenzhen Creality 3D Technology Co., Ltd. (3388.HK, "Creality" or the "Company"), the global consumer 3D printing leader, went public in Hong Kong on May 29, 2026, becoming the first consumer 3D printing company to debut on the Hong Kong market.

According to the company's announcement, Creality issued 73,427,550 H-shares, raising net proceeds of approximately HK$1.272 billion. Through this IPO, the Company aims to accelerate AI integration, deepen its global creator ecosystem, and evolve from a hardware-led business into a global consumer 3D creative platform.

Inside the trading hall of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Creality’s founding team rang the ceremonial listing gong.

From a 3D Printer Maker to an AI-Powered Creative Ecosystem

Creality began with a simple proposition: making consumer 3D printing easier and more affordable. Twelve years later, that proposition has expanded into a broader ecosystem covering hardware, materials, software, AI tools and creator commerce.

Founded in 2014 in Shenzhen, Creality is the only consumer 3D player offering a complete portfolio across 3D printers, 3D printing consumables, 3D scanners, laser engravers, and accessories. This full-scenario approach is showing up clearly in revenue mix: in 2025, scanner revenue grew 76.2% year-over-year and consumables grew 60.0%, lifting non-printer business from about 25% of total revenue in 2023 to 43% in 2025, against total group revenue of RMB 3.13 billion. By 2025 GMV, Creality ranks second in the global consumer 3D printer market with an 11.2% market share, first in the global consumer 3D scanner market with a 45.3% share, and fourth in the global consumer laser engraver market with a 4.8% share.

According to CIC, Creality is the first in the industry to fully incorporate proprietary AI technologies into every stage of the consumer 3D creative process. In modeling, generative AI on Creality Cloud lets users create 3D models from text or images, lowering the largest barrier to consumer adoption: the inability of most users to model on their own. In printing, machine-vision AI monitors material flow, auto-adjusts parameters and detects failures in real time. In laser engraving, cameras and AI algorithms guide the engraving process for higher precision and lower waste.

Creality Cloud, the Company's flagship content community, has surpassed 6.2 million registered users and hosts 2.7 million 3D models, while Nexbie, the overseas e-commerce platform launched in August 2025, enables creators to monetize their work directly within the Creality network. As of May 2026, the Company holds 957 patents in China and overseas, focused on optics, motion control, artificial intelligence and sensor integration.

Charting the Path Forward

Through the convergence of hardware, software, AI and content platforms, Creality is bringing 3D creation from a tool used by professional users into a mainstream consumer experience for households, classrooms and individual creators. Today, the Company's products are sold in approximately 140 countries and regions.

With Hong Kong as its new capital platform, the company will accelerate the three strategic priorities it has already been advancing: further accelerating AI integration across the consumer 3D creative process, building on its existing proprietary AI capabilities including AI-powered modeling, intelligent printing and machine-vision capabilities; further expanding its global presence, building on its existing sales network covering 140 countries, to deepen localization in key overseas markets; and further broadening the creator economy, scaling the existing Creality Cloud (which already has 6.2 million users) and the newly launched Nexbie into a complete platform that supports creators from initial idea through to commercial monetization.

Together, these efforts will accelerate the Company's ongoing strategic transformation, building on the solid progress it has already made. With the successful listing as a powerful new catalyst, it will leverage the capital raised to deepen its AI-driven innovation, scale global creator platforms, and expand international reach, to complete the build-out of its global AI-powered 3D creative ecosystem that empowers every creator worldwide to turn their ideas into reality.

About Creality

Shenzhen Creality 3D Technology Co., Ltd. (3388.HK), founded in 2014, is a global consumer 3D printing product and service provider listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. According to CIC, by 2025 GMV, Creality ranked second in the global consumer 3D printer market, first in consumer 3D scanners and fourth in consumer laser engravers.

Creality is committed to making 3D creation accessible to households, classrooms and creators worldwide through a multi-layer creative ecosystem combining hardware, software, content and AI-powered tools, with products available in approximately 140 countries and regions.

His restaurant, JARANA, has been recognized by the Taiwan Michelin Guide for four consecutive years (2022–2025) and has received Spain's official "Restaurants from Spain" certification, establishing it as one of Taiwan's leading destinations for Spanish dining.

Where Tradition Meets Innovation in Modern Spanish Cuisine

For this chapter, Chef Daniel has selected five signature Spanish dishes that capture the diversity and creativity of the country's culinary landscape, reinterpreting familiar flavors through a contemporary lens. The menu features five iconic Spanish dishes, each thoughtfully reinterpreted through modern techniques and presentation. Highlights include Soft-boiled Egg Yolk with Fish Roe, inspired by the classic Spanish tortilla and reconstructed through molecular gastronomy; Galician-style Octopus, a tribute to Spain's beloved tapas culture; the iconic Seafood Paella;Pan-fired Oxtail Terrine with Red Wine Foam, combining traditional slow-cooking with contemporary culinary techniques; and Tarta de Santiago, the almond cake famously associated with the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route.

From beloved bar bites to celebrated national dishes, the menu traces a journey across Spain's culinary landscape, highlighting the country's remarkable ability to balance tradition with innovation. More than a collection of recipes, "A Taste Journey Through Spain" offers a cultural exploration of how Spanish gastronomy continues to evolve while maintaining its distinctive place on the world stage.

Through food, storytelling, and cultural exchange, INPARADISE transforms this culinary journey into a memorable dining experience—bringing guests one step closer to the flavors of Spain without leaving Taipei. Taste the World, INPARADISE.

Categorized by function, the market comprises stability, racing, and cushioned running shoes; based on application scenarios, the product portfolio is divided into road running shoes, treadmill and indoor athletic shoes, and trail running shoes.

The global running shoe industry has evolved through three distinct epochs: the Performance-Oriented Era (Pre-1980s–2000), during which products primarily served competitive sports with a core focus on functional enhancements; the Technological Iteration & Mass Expansion Era (2000–2015), characterized by major upgrades in core technologies such as cushioning, support, and lightweight engineering, alongside the popularization of running among the general fitness public; and the Segmented Scenarios & Brand Premiumization Era (2020–Present), where consumer preferences have shifted toward specialized niches and platform-based technological innovations, steering the industry toward high performance, multi-scenario utility, and strategic brand differentiation.

Echoing global megatrends, China's running shoe industry has undergone a parallel upgrade from rudimentary features to specialization, scenario-specific design, and robust brand positioning. Since 2000, international brands have accelerated their market entry into China, while domestic powerhouses such as Xtep, Anta, and Li-Ning have steadily risen, propelling the Chinese running shoe market into its own era of technological iteration and mass-market expansion.

Market Drivers of the Running Shoe Industry

Driven by the widespread adoption of healthy lifestyles and the continuous momentum of marathons and road running events, market demand within the running shoe industry has been continuously unleashed. In 2024, a total of 749 road running races were hosted nationwide, drawing a cumulative total of over 7.04 million participants. In 2025, the racing landscape pivoted toward optimizing quality while rationalizing quantity, with 594 events held throughout the year, attracting 6.399 million participants. The mainstream popularization of these events has significantly expanded the runner baseline, thereby generating sustainable growth in demand for professional running shoes, functional apparel, and supporting gear.

The competitive landscape of the running shoe industry is pivoting from basic functionalities to a holistic competition encompasses technological platforms, product matrices, and multi-scenario adaptability. As marathons serve as a crucial testing ground for the product capabilities of professional footwear, domestic running shoes have seen a continuous surge in their wearing rate, brand exposure, and word-of-mouth reputation on the race tracks in recent years. An increasing number of runners are opting for domestic professional running shoes for both daily training and competitive races, underscoring the growing market endorsement of domestic brands regarding racing performance, wearing experience, and product stability.

Xtep Builds a Comprehensive Professional Running Ecosystem to Fully Meet the Needs of Both Elite and Mass Runners

Since establishing its strategic focus on running in 2007, Xtep has consistently deepened its footprint in the running track. Driven by technological R&D, oriented by runner needs, and supported by professional services, Xtep has constructed an industry-leading professional running ecosystem characterized by all-scenario coverage and all-population adaptability, cementing its status as a premier brand in China's running domain. Adhering to innovation-driven and independent R&D, Xtep has consolidated four core running technologies: XTEP FIT Technology, which leverages over 300,000 Chinese foot shape data points to establish China's largest foot shape database, crafting shoe lasts tailored to the Chinese populace; XTEP DURA Technology, which pioneers the use of marathon-grade CPU materials coupled with AI gait analysis to design outsole patterns, achieving a wear-resistant and anti-slip lifespan of over 2,000 kilometers; XTEP ACE+ Technology, which utilizes a supercritical foaming process with a dual-density "soft upper, resilient lower" golden combination design, delivering an outstanding resilient and elastic underfoot feel to help runners accelerate; and Xtep's proprietary XTEP POWER Technology Matrix, which innovatively applies aerospace-grade PI fibers and basalt fibers to running shoes, effectively resolving the industry pain point of carbon fiber brittleness and fracture, thereby providing runners with more powerful propulsion and long-lasting stability. These four technological platforms act synergistically to form the technical bedrock of Xtep's professional running footwear.
