Xiamen is the venue for the ninth meeting of the leaders of the BRICS countries. In December last year, the innovation center of the BRICS Partnership on New Industrial Revolution was officially launched here. This year is the first year for the construction of the BRICS Innovation Center.

In the keynote speech at the opening ceremony, Guo Yezhou, Chairman of the China Council for BRICS Think Tank Cooperation and Vice Minister of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, shared some ideas and thoughts on the construction of the BRICS Innovation Center by the China Council. He addressed that to build the BRICS Innovation Center, we must adhere to true multilateralism, uphold the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, strengthen unity, collaboration and strategic docking, and create a win-win and shared cooperation platform. We must persist in open innovation, tap the potential of the BRICS countries in the new generation of information technology, deepen industrial cooperation, integrate innovative resources, and create a pioneering zone for innovation cooperation. It is necessary to adhere to the “three-wheel drive”, focus on the three major areas of policy coordination, talent training, and project development, and create a key link for pragmatic cooperation. It is also important to adhere to sustainable development and realize the “carbon peak and carbon neutral” roadmaps respectively through cooperation and create a new benchmark for green development.

On behalf of the Xiamen Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Zhao Long, member of the Standing Committee of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Xiamen Municipal Party Committee, expressed warm congratulations on the convening of the seminar and extended a warm welcome to the guests attending the meeting in Xiamen. He mentioned that Xiamen hopes to work with the BRICS think tanks to uphold the BRICS partnership spirit of “openness, tolerance, cooperation, and win-win”, be a good “staff” to study and put forward constructive and operable policy recommendations; be a good “promoter” to tell the story of BRICS cooperation, and spread the voice of BRICS development; be a good “liaison” to sow the seeds of friendship, build bridges of cooperation, and promote the continuous deepening of exchanges and expansion of cooperation among BRICS countries.

Huang Haikun, the vice governor of Fujian Province, expressed that to build the BRICS innovation center in Xiamen is a major historical mission given to Fujian and Xiamen by the Party Central Committee and the State Council. He hopes that everyone can give full play to the role of think tanks in gathering talents, gather the wisdom of BRICS, and work together to build the Xiamen BRICS Innovation Center into a landmark and exemplary cooperation platform for the BRICS countries under the framework of the new industrial revolution partnership.

Anil Kishola, Deputy President of the New Development Bank, announced in his speech that the New Development Bank will actively support the construction of the BRICS innovation center, share best practices and experience, and help the BRICS cooperation and innovation base construction.

At the seminar held that day, participants from the BRICS think tanks, business, and financial circles conducted in-depth discussions on topics such as promoting the construction of the BRICS innovation center, promoting investment and trade facilitation, and promoting financial innovation cooperation.

A number of guests pointed out that the new round of technological revolutions and industrial changes such as artificial intelligence, big data, and quantum communications have brought new opportunities and new key links to BRICS innovation cooperation. The construction of the BRICS innovation center should take digitization, intelligence, and networking as important development directions, and strive to promote pragmatic cooperation in the fields of digital economy, smart manufacturing, and green and low-carbon.

Local Builder Brings Affordable Housing Innovation to Sonoma County’s Tight Market

Published

on

Turnkey small homes and ADUs pair rapid installation with moisture-smart comfort

  • Families in Sonoma County shouldn’t have to choose between speed, cost, and comfort. Our goal is to make high-quality small homes and ADUs attainable, healthy, and long-lasting.”

     —Spokesperson, Sonoma Manufactured Homes

Petaluma, CA, 23rd December 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Sonoma Manufactured Homes today announced a major push to bring efficient, affordable housing options to one of California’s most competitive markets. By combining turnkey small home and ADU solutions with rapid installation and advanced moisture-control systems, the local builder is redefining what affordability can look like in Sonoma County.

With prices and construction timelines climbing across the region, many residents are looking for alternatives to traditional site-built homes. Manufactured and modular housing now offer a way to create Sonoma County small homes and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) that are budget-conscious without feeling temporary or stripped down. Sonoma Manufactured Homes is at the center of this shift, coordinating design, factory construction, permitting, transport, and on-site setup under one roof.

“People are surprised when they see how far modern manufactured homes have come,” said the company’s spokesperson. “These aren’t short-term structures. They’re efficient, well-built homes and ADUs that can be installed quickly, tailored to local properties, and designed for everyday comfort.”

The company’s turnkey model allows homeowners to move from concept to keys with fewer unknowns. While the home or ADU is being built in a controlled factory environment, Sonoma Manufactured Homes manages the local side of the project: site evaluation, foundation design, utility planning, and manufactured home installation in Sonoma County. This parallel process significantly reduces overall timelines compared with conventional builds, an advantage that matters in a tight housing market.

Affordability does not mean one-size-fits-all. Sonoma Manufactured Homes offers a range of layouts suitable for primary residences, downsizing, and prefab ADUs in Sonoma County that serve as in-law units, rental suites, or caregiver housing. Floor plans emphasize efficient circulation, natural light, and storage, so compact footprints feel livable rather than cramped.

What truly sets the company apart is its focus on the “science of comfort” inside small, tightly built homes. Modern modular and manufactured structures are designed to be energy-efficient, but that tightness can trap moisture from everyday activities like showers, cooking, and laundry. Left unmanaged, humidity can lead to condensation, mold, musty odors, and premature wear on building materials and HVAC systems.

To address this, Sonoma Manufactured Homes integrates innovative, built-in dehumidification systems into its projects. The company’s flagship solution, the IW25, is a tankless, tamper-resistant, gravity-drained wall-mounted dehumidifier that can manage humidity in spaces up to 1,500 square feet—ideal for compact homes, cottages, and ADUs. For layouts where wall or floor space is limited, the firm uses the HWD45, a horizontal dehumidifier designed to fit above doors, cabinets, or in crawlspaces.

These systems are particularly well-suited to Sonoma County small homes and secondary units, where every square foot counts and maintenance needs to be straightforward. By handling humidity quietly in the background, they support healthier indoor air, protect finishes, and reduce callbacks related to moisture issues.

“Our homes are designed to perform for the long haul,” the spokesperson added. “Fast installation matters, but so does what happens in year five, year ten, and beyond. When we combine efficient shells with built-in moisture control, we’re protecting both comfort and the homeowner’s investment.”

As demand grows for practical, cost-effective ways to house families, extended relatives, and renters on existing lots, Sonoma Manufactured Homes is positioning its turnkey, moisture-smart approach as a blueprint for the region. The company’s mix of affordability, speed, and technical attention to indoor air quality is helping reshape expectations around manufactured and modular housing in Sonoma County.

About Sonoma Manufactured Homes

Sonoma Manufactured Homes is a trusted provider of modular and manufactured housing solutions based in Petaluma, California. The company specializes in small homes and prefab ADUs that blend durable construction, flexible design, and expert installation. With a strong focus on moisture control, indoor air quality, and long-term comfort, Sonoma Manufactured Homes delivers turnkey projects that help residents navigate Sonoma County’s tight housing market with confidence.

PORTFOLIX Financial College: Dean Gilberto Marchena Pineda Announces Official Upgrade to AI Visyonex 2.0 System

Published

on

Mexico, 23rd Dec 2025 – PORTFOLIX Financial College, a global institution specializing in structural investment education, today announced that under the leadership of Founder and Dean Gilberto Marchena Pineda, the college has completed a major update to its technological infrastructure, officially upgrading its core AI system to AI Visyonex 2.0. This upgrade aims to introduce an advanced “Symbiotic Intelligence” framework into the curriculum, enabling individual investors to access institutional-grade risk management protocols.
 

Addressing the Institutional Asymmetry

This strategic system upgrade comes as the global algorithmic trading market is projected to reach $42.99 billion by 2030 (Source: Grand View Research). Despite significant market growth, industry data indicates a marked disparity in performance, with institutional investors retaining a dominant 61% market share of algorithmic volume (Source: Mordor Intelligence).

“The current financial landscape is defined by a ‘Cognitive Bottleneck’,” stated Dean Gilberto Marchena Pineda. “While institutions leverage quantitative teams to process petabytes of market data, individual investors are often left exposed to volatility due to a lack of structural methodology. We are releasing Version 2.0 specifically to bridge this analytical gap through a more powerful technological iteration.”

Leadership and Methodology

Gilberto Marchena Pineda, an alumnus of UC Berkeley (Economics & Applied Mathematics) and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business (MBA), brings over two decades of experience in macro-hedging and cross-cycle value investing. Under his guidance, PORTFOLIX has established the “Portfolio Six” methodology, applying Six Sigma principles to asset allocation to minimize defects in decision-making.

“Risk management is not merely a protective measure; it is the foundation of alpha,” Marchena Pineda added. “At PORTFOLIX, we emphasize that risk is distinct from volatility. True risk is ignorance of the underlying market drivers.”

Technology Evolution: AI Visyonex 2.0

To serve its global base of over 10,000 learners, the college has moved beyond its initial technical layout to drive the evolution of the system to Version 2.0. Unlike passive automated trading tools, the upgraded AI Visyonex 2.0 functions as a “Symbiotic Intelligence” framework focused on augmenting human decision-making rather than replacing it.

Key features of the Version 2.0 upgrade include:

  • Adversarial Reasoning: The addition of a “Debate Engine” where distinct AI agents (Bull and Bear) argue the merits of a trade, forcing students to evaluate counter-arguments before execution.
  • Macro-Hedge Integration: A comprehensive logic upgrade that deeply binds portfolio construction with global macroeconomic indicators, reflecting the Dean’s expertise in structural investment.
  • ESG Governance: An enhanced “Guardian Guild” module that enforces strict adherence to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, ensuring capital allocation aligns with sustainable principles.

About PORTFOLIX Financial College

Founded in 2016, PORTFOLIX Financial College is a leading financial education institution focusing on Asset Allocation, DeFi, and Structural Investment. With a mission to cultivate responsible portfolio managers, the institution combines academic rigor with advanced financial technology. The college currently serves a global community of over 10,000 learners, with a strategic focus on the Latin American and North American markets.
