Published

on

NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The Kanpai Pandas will officially be sponsoring Hamdy (“The Hammer”) Abdelwahab, the FIRST Egyptian UFC fighter (6–0 record)! Hamdy is an Olympian wrestler who fights in UFC’s heavyweight division and who recently defeated Don’tale Mayes on July 30th at UFC 277. Hamdy is the Kanpai Pandas’ first sponsored athlete who will be representing us in upcoming fights and other related events. One Hamdy, 10,000 Pandas, and 100 million Egyptians.

 

Statement from Hamdy Abdelwahab regarding the Kanpai Panda partnership:

“I always knew I wanted to be a fighter with the ufc. Everything I did in my childhood to compete at an Olympic level has gotten me to where I am today. Managing to work a full-time job and making sure I’m at the gym at least two to three times a day has been a struggle. My last fight was on 12 days’ notice, 7 of the 12 days of preparing for my ufc debut involved getting all my medicals and working my shifts at work because I couldn’t call out on my co-workers who were relying on me. I knew I had to show up for UFC 277 as this was my chance and opportunity to showcase some of my skills to the world, nothing was going to stop me. I knew with a full camp I could of put on an even better performance, my team knows that and they knew I need to spend more time in the gym to achieve that so the goal was to find a sponsor that can support me with that. After my manager, Malki, met and connected with Josh at my fight, he told him my story, Josh saw what my true potential could be. He believed in me that I will become the UFC heavyweight champion of the world one day. So he decided to support my career at my earliest stage by sponsoring me through a new and fun NFT project called Kanpai Panda, not only is this project the next big thing, the team has been supportive and fully collaborative with me. I couldn’t have asked for a better sponsor at such an early stage of my career and I’m forever thankful for Kanpai and Josh for allowing me to just focus on training and getting better to achieve my goal as a world champion. Thank you Kanpai and looking forward for this journey!”

Statement from Ice Bagz, CEO of Kanpai Pandas

“We’re extremely excited about our partnership with Hamdy Abdelwahab. After talking with Malki Kawa at UFC 277, he convinced me that Hamdy was the Kanpai Pandas’ guy. Hamdy’s first UFC fight was taken with 12 days’ notice. 7 of those days he was working a job to provide for his family. Imagine how scary Hamdy can be with proper time to prepare and without having to focus on anything other than fighting.

“This partnership allows him to do that. Hamdy is an Olympian medalist and the first Egyptian to fight in the UFC EVER. That’s a story we can get behind. Hamdy is a class act and has the potential to be the biggest sports star in a country with 100 million people. We’re excited to have him on board.”

At UFC 280 on Oct. 22, Abdelwahab (6–0 MMA, 1–0 UFC) will take on Parker Porter (13–7 MMA, 3–2 UFC) in a heavyweight bout at Etihad Arena (Abu Dhabi). The Kanpai Pandas will be side by side with Hamdy for this bout and future bouts!

Hamdy is among the first steps we are taking with individual sponsorships to ensure our brand grows far and wide within and to multiple sectors. The Kanpai Pandas plan to further integrate blockchain technology with real-life utility to provide holders the benefits of blockchain’s efficiency and transparency with the fun of exclusive real-world partnerships and events. The aim is to grow within and beyond crypto. We believe our project has the ability to successfully reach audiences outside of crypto, supported by our past, current, and future IRL events.

We are super excited to be sponsoring Hamdy and look forward to what our relationship will bring. Kanpai!

Envision Announces Strategic Collaboration with Brazil to Power Green Oil Strategy with Net-Zero Industrial Park

Published

By

BEIJING, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Envision, a global leader in green technology, today announced a strategic collaboration with Brazilian government during President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s official visit to China. In the meeting between President Lula and Envision’s Chairman Lei Zhang, the two leaders exchanged views on Brazil’s green energy transition, the development of Net-Zero Industrial Parks, and  joint efforts on key technologies including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), green hydrogen and ammonia.

Envision will develop Latin America’s first Net-Zero Industrial Park in Brazil. Anchored by the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), the park will establish a complete green fuel value chain while advancing the development of green hydrogen and green ammonia. By leveraging Envision’s renewable energy systems, the park aims to establish a “green oil” ecosystem and accelerate Brazil’s green industrial  transition.

Lei Zhang, Chairman of Envision, said: “Brazil is crucial to the global green transition of human society. It is poised to become the world’s most significant green oil production hub, as it possesses both abundant biomass and renewable electricity needed for green oil production. Envision is driving the advancement of cost competitiveness of green oil through technological innovation. Leveraging our pioneering Net-Zero Industrial Park model, we have built the world’s largest and most cost-effective green hydrogen and ammonia project in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. We are committed to putting the vision of a community with a shared future for mankind into action, leveraging China’s new energy innovations to bring a new global prosperity.”

As the inventor of the Net-Zero Industrial Park model, Envision’s first-of-its-kind park, developed in partnership with the city of Ordos, has been recognized for several consecutive years as a leading example in the World Transitioning Industrial Clusters Report released by World Economic Forum. Building on this success, Envision is now scaling the model across diverse regions, including Inner Mongolia, Jiangsu, and Spain, tailoring each park to local resources and industrial strengths.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DENSO, a leading mobility supplier, announced that DENSO Manufacturing Athens Tennessee, Inc. (DMAT), has donated $9,000 to local high schools, giving each $1,000 to support their Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs.

As one of the world’s largest automotive suppliers, DENSO strives to foster a work environment that prioritizes safety, collaboration and quality.

Last year, as part of DMAT’s continuous efforts to improve metrics in those focus areas, the location launched a friendly competition among internal teams. It centered on a simple idea: the better your group performed, the more your group could raise up to $1,000 for local high school STEM programs.

Motivated to deliver for each other and local students, each team hit their key metrics by the conclusion of the year-long competition this spring. As a result, DMAT awarded the full donation amounts to the recipient schools on behalf of its employees.

“This competition represents the best of DENSO – our teams working together to not only continuously improve, but also support the communities where we live and work,” said Steven Hayes, director of Manufacturing at DMAT. “We are grateful to channel the success of the project into a positive outcome for local schools and do our small part in contributing to technical education. These schools, and their STEM programs, are vital to preparing future innovators.” 

DENSO is always looking for ways to give back to the places it calls home, including in and around Athens. DMAT is a supporter of the United Way of McMinn and Meigs County, The East Tennessee Japanese School, Adopt-A-School programs, and other local initiatives.

DMAT has produced leading powertrain parts and systems in Athens for more than 20 years. In October 2024, DENSO announced a $100 million expansion at the location that would enhance its ability to produce a wider range of solutions, such as DENSO’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) product.
