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.

Jin Xin, Secretary-General of the China Council for BRICS Think Tank Cooperation and Director of the Research Office of International Department Central Committee of CPC, presided over the opening ceremony. The leaders of the relevant departments of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the leaders of the BRICS think tanks Brazil, Russia, India, and South Africa also gave speeches or video speeches at the opening ceremony. Xiamen City leaders Chen Qiuxiong, Huang Wenhui, Huang Yanqiang, Huang Xiaozhou, Lin Jian and Huang Guobin attended the opening ceremony.

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.

KeyCrew Media Selects Brooke Pfautz as Verified Expert for Vacation Rental Management and Property Technology

Published

on

KeyCrew Media, a real estate analytics and media network, has selected Brooke Pfautz, CEO and Founder of Vintory, as a KeyCrew Verified Expert.

NATIONWIDE, December 12, 2025 KeyCrew Media, a real estate analytics and media network, has selected Brooke Pfautz, CEO and Founder of Vintory, as a KeyCrew Verified Expert. Pfautz will contribute data-driven analysis on vacation rental management, property technology innovation, and industry consolidation trends.

KeyCrew Verified Experts are carefully selected as prolific market trend authorities who demonstrate exceptional insight and expertise in their fields. These distinguished professionals regularly contribute market insights, expert perspectives, and forward-looking analysis to help audiences navigate complex industry landscapes.

Brooke Pfautz brings unparalleled expertise to the vacation rental management sector, having helped over 950 companies scale their portfolios through strategic growth initiatives. As founder of both Vintory and Comparent, Pfautz has established herself as a leading voice on data-driven property acquisition, AI integration in hospitality operations, and market consolidation dynamics. Her work encompasses the largest database of vacation rental homeowners globally and the industry’s first comprehensive ranking system through the Comparent 100.

With 18 years of experience in the short-term rental industry, Pfautz successfully scaled Vantage Realty to over 500 properties before its acquisition. She has since focused on revolutionizing how professional vacation rental managers approach growth through Vintory’s data and marketing platform, which aggregates information from over 10 sources to create what she calls “stacked data architecture” — a proprietary approach that provides unprecedented accuracy in homeowner targeting.

Pfautz’s insights on artificial intelligence adoption have positioned her as a forward-thinking industry authority. She advocates that property managers not implementing AI-native tools by 2026 risk competitive obsolescence, emphasizing that data capture — particularly call recordings and guest communications — represents the critical intellectual property that will differentiate winners in an increasingly AI-driven marketplace.

“I’m honored to be selected as a KeyCrew Verified Expert,” said Brooke Pfautz. “The vacation rental management industry is at a pivotal moment where data quality and AI adoption will separate thriving companies from those left behind. Having helped nearly 1,000 companies with their growth strategies, I’ve seen firsthand how the right data and technology stack can transform a mid-sized operator into a market leader. I’m excited to share insights that help property managers navigate consolidation pressures, leverage their unique data assets, and position themselves strategically whether they’re scaling independently or preparing for acquisition.”

Pfautz’s areas of expertise include:

  • Vacation Rental Management Growth Strategies — Proven frameworks for inventory acquisition and scaling beyond 10 million in gross bookings
  • Property Technology & AI Integration — Strategic guidance on AI-native tools, data architecture, and competitive positioning
  • Market Consolidation & M&A Dynamics — Insights on institutional capital trends, acquisition metrics, and positioning for exit

KLOTA Launches Two Free Analysis Tools to Help E-Commerce Brands Improve Search and AI Visibility

Published

on

Sweden, 13th Dec 2025 – KLOTA AB, a Sweden-based digital performance and SEO consultancy, has announced the launch of two new free analysis tools designed specifically for serious e-commerce companies seeking stronger visibility, better performance, and clearer insights across search engines and AI-driven platforms. The newly released tools—the AI Visibility Analyzer and the Shopping Feed Analyzer—are currently available as free BETA services and deliver actionable results within approximately 10 minutes via email.

As search behavior rapidly evolves, e-commerce brands are no longer competing only for traditional Google rankings. Increasingly, consumers are discovering products and brands through AI-powered assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. KLOTA’s new tools are built to address this shift, providing practical diagnostics that help online retailers understand where they stand and what to fix.

The AI Visibility Analyzer focuses on how well a website is seen, accessed, and understood by modern AI search engines and large language models. The tool evaluates critical factors such as AI-bot accessibility (including robots.txt and llms.txt), content clarity and readability, structured data, and core technical SEO elements. Based on this analysis, it generates an easy-to-understand AI Visibility Score ranging from 0 to 100, along with clear, prioritized recommendations that highlight the most impactful improvements.

“This is about helping companies prepare for the next generation of search,” said Anders Karlsson, Contact at KLOTA AB. “Many e-commerce brands are still optimizing only for classic search results, while AI assistants are already shaping how users discover information and products. The AI Visibility Analyzer makes this new landscape measurable and actionable.”

The second tool, the Shopping Feed Analyzer (Google Shopping Feed Analyzer ), is designed for e-commerce businesses actively running Google Shopping and Performance Max (PMax) campaigns. Poor feed quality is a common reason for disapproved products, limited reach, and underperforming ads. KLOTA’s tool performs an automated quality audit of a Google Shopping product feed , reviewing required attributes, product titles and descriptions, pricing accuracy, images, Google product categories, and overall compliance with Google’s specifications.

After the audit, users receive a detailed PDF report that includes an executive summary and a prioritized action list. This enables marketing and e-commerce teams to quickly identify errors, resolve disapprovals, and systematically improve feed quality for better campaign performance.

“Most feed issues are not strategic—they’re technical and fixable,” Karlsson added. “The challenge is knowing exactly where the problems are and what to address first. The Shopping Feed Analyzer removes that guesswork and gives teams a clear roadmap.”

Both tools are offered as free BETA services, reflecting KLOTA’s commitment to sharing expertise and helping e-commerce brands adapt to a more complex digital ecosystem. Once a website URL or product feed is submitted, the analysis is processed automatically and sent by email in about 10 minutes, making the tools accessible even for busy teams with limited technical resources.

While some information within the tools may be presented in English, the insights are designed to be universally applicable for international e-commerce brands aiming to compete more effectively in search, paid media, and AI-driven discovery.

With the launch of these tools, KLOTA reinforces its position as a forward-looking partner for e-commerce growth—bridging traditional SEO, paid shopping performance, and the emerging world of AI visibility.
