East African Power Corporation and CVMR Corporation Sign an agreement

Published

on

In a joint communique, East AfricanPower Corporation (“EAPC”) and CVMR Corporation of Canada (“CVMR”) announced today the signing of an agreement

Canada, 17th Jun 2026 — In a joint communique, East AfricanPower Corporation (“EAPC”) and CVMR Corporation of Canada (CVMR) announced today the signing of an agreement (“Agreement”) establishing a long-term framework for the development, financing, construction and operation of up to 500 megawatts (MW) of solar photovoltaic generation and co-located battery energy storage systems (“BESS”) to serve CVMR s mining, refining and downstream processing operations across its expanding global portfolio.

The framework agreement is structured as an evergreen master arrangement under which EAPC will originate, develop and deliver project-specific Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs”), captive generation assets, and hybrid solar-plus-storage microgrids at CVMR operating sites, refining hubs and joint-venture concessions. Initial deployments are expected to be prioritized at CVMR’s African operations — including its activities in the Central African Republic and the recently established CVMR (R.D. Congo) S.A.R.L. joint venture with BITEC — followed by sites under evaluation in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the Balkans.

CVMR’s proprietary Vapour Metallurgy refining processes produce ultra-high-purity metal powders, nano-powders, pellets and near-net-shape components in a closed-loop system that is environmentally neutral. Pairing that refining platform with firm, dispatchable renewable energy is intended to extend the same environmental neutrality across the full value chain — from mine face to refined product — and to materially reduce the levelized cost of energy at remote and grid-constrained sites where CVMR increasingly operates.

“Critical minerals processed with Eco friendly power source— that is the proposition,” said Kamran M. Khozan, Chairman and CEO of CVMR Corporation.

 “Our Vapour Metallurgy technology was designed from the outset to minimize environmental impact, but the supply chain that feeds such a refinery including its required energy have to be environmentally as neutral as the refining process itself. Partnering with East African Power Corporation allows us to extend our in-country, value-added model into the energy layer of our operations, particularly in African jurisdictions where reliable, affordable, low-carbon power is one of the greatest constraints on building domestic refining capacity.”

“Africa’s ability to produce renewable energy is the corner stone for allowing technologies such as CVMR’s, to operate in that continent.” said Dan Klinck, CEO of East African Power Corporation.

“CVMR’s business model of partnership with the host countries ’government— in-country refining, technology transfer, long-term industrial commitment — is exactly the kind of counterparty that allows us to mobilize development finance at scale, build local engineering capacity, and deliver electricity at tariffs that make domestic mineral processing globally competitive. A 500 MW pipeline tethered to producing mines and operating refineries is what moves the energy-minerals nexus from conference panels to construction sites. We are proud to be doing this work alongside Kamran and his team.” 

Under the terms of this agreement, the parties will jointly:

• Identify and rank candidate sites across CVMR’s existing and pipeline portfolio for solar-plus-storage deployment, beginning with a technical screening of the company’s African concessions;

• Establish a joint development vehicle (“JDV”) to act as the contracting counterparty for project-level PPAs, with EAPC as the lead developer and operator and CVMR as the anchor offtaker;

• Pursuing blended financing structures combining development finance institution (“DFI”) capital, export credit agency cover, and private debt and equity, with a view to achieving financial close on the first tranche of projects within twenty-four months;

• Coordinate with host governments to align grid interconnection, wheeling, and tax frameworks with national industrialization and energy transition strategies;

• Develop local content, training and supply-chain participation programmes consistent with the host-country partnership philosophy that has characterized CVMR’s engagements to date.

The agreement establishes EAPC as CVMR’s preferred development partner for solar and power storage solutions globally. Specific project terms, capacities, and commercial structures will be set out in definitive agreements to be negotiated on a project-by-project basis. Industry context for such announcements is significant. The International Energy Agency and others have repeatedly identified power availability and cost as the principal bottleneck constraining the building of critical mineral refining capacity outside China. At the same time, mining and refining operations are among the largest single industrial loads in many African economies, making them natural anchor customers for utility-scale renewables. The EAPC– CVMR framework is designed to address both constraints simultaneously.

The agreement was executed following meetings between the parties in Toronto, Riyadh and Nairobi from January to May 2026 and builds on CVMR’s recently expanded African footprint, including its twenty-five-year strategic partnership with the Government of the Central African Republic and the CVMR (R.D. Congo) S.A.R.L. joint venture announced in March 2026.

About East African Power Corporation:

Embio Medical Center Calls Attention to Emotional Wellbeing in Fertility Treatment

Published

on

Chalandri, Attica, Greece, 24th Aug 2026 – Embio Medical Center highlights the importance of emotional wellbeing alongside clinical care during fertility treatment, recognising that the fertility journey involves emotional as well as medical considerations.

Fertility treatment can involve appointments, examinations and important decisions, but the experience is not solely clinical. Feelings of uncertainty, hope, stress and emotional fatigue can arise at different stages. Embio Medical Center encourages patients to acknowledge these feelings and make emotional wellbeing part of their overall approach to care.

The centre emphasises the value of creating space to breathe, reflect and seek appropriate support when the process feels overwhelming. Maintaining supportive relationships with partners, family members, friends or suitable professionals can also help patients navigate the emotional aspects of treatment.

Embio Medical Center believes that recognising the emotional dimension of fertility care can contribute to a more supportive and patient-focused treatment experience. By combining careful clinical attention with an understanding of the personal experience involved, the centre aims to support patients throughout their journey.

Patients are encouraged to communicate openly about their concerns and emotional needs with their healthcare team. Every fertility journey is personal, and emotional wellbeing can look different for each individual.

About Embio Medical Center

Embio Medical Center is a fertility and reproductive medicine centre in Athens, Greece. For those researching the best IVF clinic in Greece, the centre provides fertility assessment and treatment within a patient-focused clinical environment, combining medical expertise with personalised care throughout the fertility journey.

Mesta Launches their White-Labeled Customer Portal as Infrastructure Emerges as the Next Frontier in Global Payments

Published

on

New self-service platform enables payment providers and B2B software companies to offer cross-border payment capabilities under their own brands.

San Francisco, California, August 24th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, For years, the cross-border payments industry has competed on faster settlement, broader payment coverage and lower transaction costs.

Mesta believes the next phase of competition will look very different.

Today the company announced its white-labeled self-service customer portal that enables payment providers, fintech companies and B2B software platforms to deliver cross-border payment services entirely under their own brands while relying on Mesta’s underlying financial infrastructure.

The launch builds on Mesta’s broader vision of helping businesses manage the entire lifecycle of money through a single operating system. Instead of stitching together multiple financial providers, businesses can access Mesta’s Store, Grow, and Pay capabilities from one unified platform.

The launch reflects a broader shift taking place across financial services. Rather than sending customers to third-party payment platforms, businesses increasingly want payment capabilities to exist natively inside their own products. Mesta now gives them two ways to achieve that. Enterprises building deeply embedded financial experiences can integrate directly through Mesta’s APIs, while growing payment providers and software companies can launch through the White-Labeled Customer Portal. Both provide access to the same underlying infrastructure, allowing businesses to choose the path that best fits their growth stage.

Customers of fintech platforms, using this Customer Portal, can onboard themselves, complete KYB, manage beneficiaries and initiate international payments through a fully branded interface, while transactions continue to move through Mesta’s global payment infrastructure.

Since launching in November 2024, Mesta has processed more than $2 billion in transaction volume across 100+ countries, supporting payments in more than 40 currencies while combining treasury infrastructure, traditional fiat rails and stablecoin networks into a single operating platform that enables businesses to store, grow and pay from one infrastructure layer.

“Payments are increasingly becoming infrastructure rather than destination products,” said Sandeep Pyapali, Founder and CEO of Mesta. “Businesses want to own the customer relationship while relying on proven infrastructure underneath. The White-Labeled Customer Portal is our answer to that shift. Whether customers integrate through our APIs or launch quickly with their branded Customer Portal, the goal is the same: make global payments feel native to their own products.”

Unlike traditional merchant portals that require businesses to manage customer onboarding and payment initiation themselves, the White-Labeled Customer Portal allows end customers to complete these workflows independently, reducing operational overhead while improving scalability.

The launch extends Mesta’s broader platform strategy of enabling businesses to store, grow and move money through a single operating layer spanning both fiat and stablecoin ecosystems.

As embedded finance continues to mature, Mesta believes invisible infrastructure – rather than customer-facing payment brands – will become the defining characteristic of the next generation of financial services.

About Mesta

Mesta is a global fiat and stablecoin operating system that enables businesses to store, grow and pay money through a single infrastructure layer. Its platform combines local payment rails, global banking networks and stablecoin infrastructure to help payment providers, fintechs and global businesses build modern cross-border financial products. Today, Mesta supports payments across 100+ countries and 40+ payout currencies and has processed more than $2 billion in transaction volume in 21 months since launch through 30,000+ cross-border transactions.

Founded by Sandeep Pyapali, formerly of Uber, PayPal and BILL, Mesta is led by a team with deep experience in global payments, banking infrastructure and financial technology. The company is backed by leading venture capital firms and strategic fintech investors, including Village Global, Circle Ventures, Paxos, Garuda Ventures, Canonical Crypto, Everywhere Ventures and Inventum Ventures, reflecting strong confidence in its vision for the future of global money movement.
