NINGBO, China, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As the 2025 China-Central and Eastern European Countries Expo opened in Ningbo on May 22, cultural and business exchanges between China and the CEE region were spotlighted. Among the many contributing to this growing partnership are Vladimir Tzanev and Fang Yu, in different professions but with a shared connection to Ningbo.

The Bulgarian pianist Vladimir Tzanev has spent the past two decades working across China. But Ningbo, in eastern China’s Zhejiang Province, is where he and his family want to call home. “My children were born here—they’re Ningbo natives now,” he says in a smile. Alongside his wife, a fellow musician from Latin America, Vladimir established a music society in the city that welcomes students from all walks of life. “Music is a language that opens any door,” he says. “And here in Ningbo, we found an audience eager to listen.”

Fang Yu, meanwhile, has a different story related to the city. After years of working in Slovakia, she returned to China in 2015 and dove into trades with CEE countries. Based in Ningbo, she helps connect Chinese companies with partners from CEE countries, especially through platforms like the China-CEEC Expo. “Trades are built on human connection,” she explains. “And Ningbo is a perfect bridge.”

This year, Slovakia is one of the guest-of-honor countries of the Expo, which holds special meaning for Fang. It was during a government delegation visit from Ningbo to Slovakia that she established a connection with the city. Since then, she’s seen firsthand how face-to-face conversations and shared experiences create trust and opportunities. “When we started, few people knew about these countries or their products,” she recalled. “Now, thanks to events like the China-CEEC Expo, more products from the region are stepping into the spotlight.”

From classical music to Slovakian wine, Vladimir and Fang are helping build more than just business ties—they’re weaving personal stories into the fabric of China-CEEC cooperation. And Ningbo, with its open arms and mind, is right at the center of it all.

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The global eFuse Market is anticipated to grow from estimated USD 557.0 million in 2024 to USD 737.4 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period. Growth in the eFuse Market is being accelerated by more challenging electronic systems and higher demands for reliable protection in automotive, data center, and consumer devices. Because advanced eFuse technologies are small, accurate in current limitation, and can diagnose themselves, more are being used. It ensures that high-power systems are safe, work efficiently, and maintain proper temperatures. By using WBG semiconductors, companies are able to develop faster and more energy-efficient supply chain solutions. Using technologies makes it easier to prevent the damage caused by circuits. Improved eFuse solutions can be added to the battery management system of electric vehicles (EVs), so overcurrent and overheating are detected and dealt with quickly. Circuit protection has improved in various sectors after the introduction of eFuses. eFuses supports real-time detection of faults and effective handling of electricity because of improved technology. As a result, the system can handle overcurrent, overvoltage, and temperature issues smoothly. This means that eFuses in automotive use can deliver exact current restriction and fast fault finding, which is suitable for electric vehicles. This helps manufacturers ensure safety, reduce moments when things break down, and reduce power consumption in important and reliable systems.

Thin shrink small outline package, by application

Many electronics use eFuses in TSSOP packages because they are compact. It is an excellent solution for applications in automobiles, telecoms, and personal electronics, given that cooling and dependability are very important. If any issue related to fast faults is found, the system imposes a high current control and it can stop to avoid overheating. Thanks to TSSOP eFuses, the system remains safe even when it is exposed to high currents and voltages. What is more, their function supports quick fault detection, so the system responds immediately if a fault occurs within the circuit, which keeps it working well at all times. TSSOP allows manufacturers to efficiently manage power flow, and therefore, eFuses are chosen for modern, advanced electronic devices due to their ability to solve thermal issues.

Auto retry, by type

Auto Retry, by type, is anticipated to maintain strong growth momentum during the forecast period in the eFuse Market. eFuses are categorized into two types: auto retry and latched. The increasing adoption of auto retry eFuses stems from their ability to automatically reset after a fault is detected, ensuring continuous operation in critical systems. It results in less downtime and better reliability, which is why auto retry eFuses are preferred for use in automotive electronics, industrial systems, and data centers. Due to a focus on keeping systems running and tolerating faults, auto retry eFuse sales are predicted to increase a lot. Many industries are starting to use auto retry eFuse technologies to guarantee effective results and cut down on the work needed for upkeep in crucial electronics.

 – Pre-seed round backed by Early Game Ventures, Hartmann Capital, and Overwolf –

LONDON, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — PlaySafe ID, the platform for gamers that keeps cheaters, hackers, bots, and predators out of games, has raised $1.12M (€1 million) in pre-seed funding to bring trust, fairness, and accountability to gaming communities, without compromising player privacy or freedom.

The round was led by Early Game Ventures, with participation from Hartmann Capital and Overwolf. The raised capital will fuel rapid expansion and strategic platform integrations, as the company gears up for a major go-to-market push and targets 250,000+ users in the coming months.

“This round gives us the firepower to move fast, expand our world-class team, and partner with games that want the most fair and safe environment for players to enjoy,” said Andrew Wailes, CEO of PlaySafe ID. “This is now more important than ever before. With cheating in games as a mass-epidemic that ruins fun for players daily, and the Online Safety Act ushering in long overdue requirements for child protection in gaming, PlaySafe ID’s mission to safeguard gamers isn’t just relevant – it’s now essential for compliance and the future of global gaming.”

Built with a privacy-first mindset, PlaySafe ID issues a verified, anonymised, and game-agnostic digital ID that proves a user is real and hasn’t been caught cheating or being inappropriate to children in games. These are core problems that continue to erode online experiences across games. By offering a single, secure identity layer, the platform empowers both developers and communities to enforce fair play across titles, without sacrificing player anonymity, or the open and creative nature of games.

Early Game Ventures, which led the round, is known for backing early-stage frontier tech. “We believe PlaySafeID is building the trust layer for gaming—and beyond. In a world where AI and anonymity are eroding safety and fairness, PlaySafeID restores balance with identity, transparency, and accountability,” said Cristian Munteanu, Managing Partner at Early Game Ventures. “PlaySafeID builds a network-effects flywheel. Once a gamer is verified through PlaySafeID, that identity becomes portable across games, platforms, and genres. The more developers adopt it, the more valuable it becomes to players—and vice versa. Eventually, the verified identity becomes a default layer of the gaming stack, just like your Steam account or your Xbox Live profile. It’s a winner-takes-all kind of play.”

Hartmann Capital, an investment firm focused on emerging digital ecosystems, also participated in Playsafe ID’s pre-seed round. “Gaming has quickly become the new social center of our world, with over 3 billion active gamers globally. Despite its immense social and economic value, the gaming ecosystem remains largely ungoverned. Accountability is fragmented across platforms, allowing bad actors to evade consequences by simply creating new accounts or migrating between games.” said Felix Hartmann, Managing Partner at Hartmann Capital. “Playsafe introduces a judicial system for the digital world—ensuring accountability, safety, and fairness in online spaces that have grown increasingly toxic and uninhabitable. As a universal authority beyond any single game or even nation, Playsafe establishes a digital rule of law across multiplayer platforms worldwide.”

PlaySafe ID is currently in integration talks with several major gaming platforms, with first partnerships set to launch later this year.
