Nebula Brands, China’s first “Thrasio” launched on Amazon

Published

Traditional brick & mortar stores have been struggling for over a year since the beginning of COVID. While Amazon, just like its name, still maintains a prosperous vitality and has become a must-have store for consumers during the epidemic. Companies that sell primarily unbranded, well-reviewed products on Amazon marketplace are being bought by businesses created just to consolidate those Amazon sellers. These well-funded acquirers are called Amazon Aggregators and are committed to acquiring Amazon brands, conducting brand integration and helping portfolios achieve growth at a global scale. Up till now, Aggregators have raised over 6 billion U.S. dollars, and the leading company Thrasio has accumulated more than 1.75 billion U.S. dollars to deploy.

China is the most prominent supplier of Amazon sellers. Up till now, 63% of Amazon’s top sellers are from China, and a third of them are in Shenzhen. In 2019, Nebula Brands was established in Shenzhen, the most active city in China for cross-border e-commerce. Starting from a cross-border e-commerce fintech platform, Nebula has accumulated a deep understanding of Amazon’s business model based on its strong data processing and modelling capabilities. In 2020, Nebula launched the third-party brand acquisition business and is the first Chinese company to use the “Aggregation + Operation” model to conduct brand acquisition on Amazon.

The wave of Amazon store closures that began in April this year has dealt a heavy blow to some Chinese sellers who are accustomed to obtaining sales through illegal operational means. As Amazon imposes heavy measures against policy violators, incompetent sellers who rely on illegal tactics are quickly eliminated. Efficient brand management on Amazon will bring better products and shopping experiences to consumers. The Aggregators have overall better operational efficiency and product strategy, which would benefit Amazon and end customers in the long run.

“Nebula has a multinational management team with global vision and China-specific country knowledge. On day one, our strategy formulates around making Chinese brands on Amazon go international. We follow up closely with the needs of overseas consumers and leverage China’s supply chain advantages to tap the huge global consumer goods market.” Says William Wang, co-founder of Nebula Brands.

In January, Thrasio, a brand acquirer from the United States, announced its entry into China. Followed by dozens of other overseas third-party brand acquisition companies. Despite being well-capitalised and coming to China with strong momentum, overseas brand aggregators need to solve some big challenges. Identifying compliant and high-quality targets from thousands of native Chinese shops operating in a China-specific way would be a headache for any western business. Also, negotiating with smart Chinese businessmen and convincing them to sell the business would take more than a few phone calls from head offices across the Atlantic.

In the view of Nebula Brands, local knowledge is as important as the global perspective. It is critical to understand the mentality of Chinese sellers and establish an efficient local supply chain to accommodate and consolidate each business. Capital would accelerate the acquisition process but building a tailored ecosystem based on Amazon and China would be a threshold for any foreign business.

Developing an ecosystem to accommodate multi-brand and multi-channel Amazon businesses is a challenge. Nebula broke down the traditional e-commerce business and replaced each process with modularized teams, led by experts in each vertical. The acquired brands would get the best support to release the sales potential on Amazon and be redesigned and restructured to position for growth even beyond Amazon.

Nebula Brands is the first Amazon Aggregator in China market. It has a tracked record of serving thousands of Chinese brand sellers. Nebula’s cross border supply chain finance business help banks analyse the cash flow of Amazon businesses. The team has a strong data team consists of veterans from reputable banks and tech firms. Empowered by data analytics, the investment team can value the business value of a potential seller within 24 hours.

The team understands the needs of these potential sellers and established effective communication with relevant stakeholders. “Sellers are our strategic partners. We appreciate their sector knowledge and they love speaking with us. It’s like having a good friend who can offer help any time. They want to hear our opinion and we are happy to share the growth with friends.” Says William Wang.

Bookies.com Updates UK Apple Pay Casinos Guide to Reflect New UKGC Wagering Rules and Bonus Restrictions

Published

4 minutes ago

on

June 17, 2026

By

LONDON, UK, June 17th, 2026, Bookies.com, the UK-focused online gambling guide and review platform, today announced a comprehensive update to its Apple Pay Casinos guide for UK players. The refreshed resource reflects the regulatory changes that came into force on 19 January 2026, when the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) capped wagering requirements on casino promotions at a maximum of 10x and prohibited mixed sports and casino bonus offers across the licensed market.

The January reform represents the most significant change to UK online casino promotional rules since the UKGC’s April 2020 ban on credit card use for gambling. Operators across the market have been required to revise welcome offers, ongoing promotions, and bonus terms to comply with the new framework, creating a period of substantial uncertainty for players evaluating which platforms offer genuine value. Bookies.com’s updated guide is designed to cut through that uncertainty for the growing population of UK players who prefer Apple Pay as their primary deposit method.

“Apple Pay has quietly become the default deposit method for a generation of UK casino players,” said a Bookies.com spokesperson. “With biometric authentication, no card details exposed to operators, and instant deposits confirmed by Face ID or Touch ID, it offers a level of security and convenience that traditional debit card flows simply cannot match. Combined with the new UKGC rules, this is the right moment to give UK players a definitive resource on which licensed Apple Pay casinos genuinely lead the market on transparency, withdrawal speed, and bonus value under the post-January framework.”

Why Apple Pay Has Become Central to UK Online Casinos

Industry estimates indicate that approximately 67 percent of UK shoppers now use Apple Pay regularly, with mobile-first behaviour particularly pronounced among the 18 to 44 demographic that drives the majority of UK online casino volume. The UKGC’s 2020 credit card ban removed one of the historical default deposit methods at UK-licensed casinos, accelerating the shift toward debit cards, e-wallets, and mobile payment methods including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal. For iOS users in particular, Apple Pay has become the path of least friction from the moment of sign-up through to first deposit.

Tokenisation is central to the security advantage. When a UK player deposits using Apple Pay, the casino operator receives a unique transaction token rather than the player’s actual debit card number, meaning intercepted payment data holds no value outside the specific transaction context. Biometric authentication through Face ID or Touch ID adds a second factor that traditional card payments cannot replicate. Together, these protections address the categories of fraud and data breach risk that have historically affected online gambling platforms.

What the Updated Guide Covers

The refreshed Bookies.com guide evaluates UK-licensed online casinos on five weighted criteria: deposit and withdrawal speed for Apple Pay transactions, minimum deposit and withdrawal limits, transparency of fees and processing terms, eligibility of Apple Pay deposits for current welcome and reload bonuses under the new 10x wagering cap, and overall mobile platform quality across iPhone and iPad devices. Every recommendation is tested hands-on by the Bookies.com editorial team prior to inclusion, with reviews updated as operators adjust their terms in response to the January regulatory changes.

Operators currently featured in the guide include bet365, Sky Vegas, 888casino, Virgin Games, Casimba, and LeoVegas, all of which hold active UKGC licences and accept Apple Pay for deposits with minimum amounts starting from £10. The guide also identifies operators that have removed Apple Pay eligibility from their welcome offers in response to the new regulatory environment, an important disclosure for players evaluating bonus value. Withdrawal handling is covered in detail, including the standard industry practice of returning Apple Pay deposits to the underlying linked debit card rather than to the Apple Pay wallet directly.

The New UKGC Framework in Context

The 19 January 2026 changes introduced three principal reforms. First, wagering requirements on all casino bonus offers are now capped at a maximum of 10x, a substantial reduction from the 35x to 50x requirements that had been common across the UK market. Second, promotional offers combining sports betting and casino elements are no longer permitted, requiring operators to separate their bonus structures by product vertical. Third, terms and conditions on all promotional offers must be presented to UK players with greater clarity, including upfront disclosure of game contributions, time limits, and eligible payment methods. The Bookies.com guide has been updated to reflect each of these requirements on an operator-by-operator basis.

Montreal Airport Professional Highlights the Value of Skilled Frontline Workers in Critical Infrastructure Industries

Published

June 17, 2026

By

Quebec, Canada, Jun 17, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — As industries across Canada continue to navigate workforce challenges, Montreal airport professional Naimur Rahman is highlighting the growing importance of skilled frontline workers who help keep critical infrastructure operating safely and efficiently every day.

Working as a ground crew professional at Montréal–Trudeau International Airport, Rahman has spent years supporting the behind-the-scenes operations that allow thousands of passengers and aircraft to move through one of Canada’s busiest transportation hubs. His experience has given him firsthand insight into the expertise, teamwork, and adaptability required of frontline workers across aviation and other essential industries.

“People often see the end result, but they don’t always see the work that happens behind the scenes,” said Rahman. “Whether it’s aviation, transportation, healthcare, construction, or other critical sectors, skilled frontline workers play a major role in keeping communities functioning.”

According to Rahman, many frontline careers require a combination of technical knowledge, situational awareness, communication skills, and the ability to perform under pressure. In aviation, even routine operations depend on teams working together with precision and consistency.

“Every day brings different challenges,” he said. “Weather changes. Schedules change. Priorities can shift quickly. You learn that preparation and teamwork are essential.”

Rahman believes the contributions of frontline professionals are becoming increasingly important as industries face evolving operational demands and growing expectations around efficiency and reliability.

“The work may not always be visible to the public, but it has a direct impact on people’s daily lives,” he said. “When systems operate smoothly, it’s usually because skilled people are working together behind the scenes.”

His perspective comes from years of working in a fast-paced airport environment where safety remains the top priority. Ground crews must coordinate with multiple teams, adapt to changing conditions, and maintain operational standards regardless of weather or scheduling pressures.

Montreal’s winter climate provides a particularly clear example of the resilience required in many frontline professions.

“When you’re working outside during a January cold snap, there isn’t much room for excuses,” Rahman said. “You focus on the job, support your team, and find solutions. That mindset applies to a lot of essential industries.”

Rahman also believes more attention should be given to career pathways within frontline and operational professions. While these careers may not always receive the same visibility as office-based roles, they offer opportunities to develop valuable skills in leadership, communication, problem-solving, and teamwork.

“Some of the best lessons I’ve learned came from working alongside experienced professionals,” he said. “You learn responsibility. You learn discipline. You learn how important it is to be dependable.”

Beyond his professional responsibilities, Rahman remains active in the Montreal community as a husband, father, sports enthusiast, and supporter of local activities. He sees many parallels between successful workplaces, successful sports teams, and strong communities.

“In all of those environments, people rely on each other,” he said. “Success usually comes from trust, communication, and a willingness to contribute.”

As discussions continue about workforce development and the future of critical infrastructure, Rahman hopes greater recognition will be given to the professionals whose work often goes unnoticed but remains essential to daily life.

“Frontline workers help keep cities moving,” he said. “They keep services operating, support communities, and solve problems every day. Those contributions matter, and they deserve recognition.”

Through his work at Montréal–Trudeau International Airport, Rahman continues to advocate for the value of skilled frontline professionals and the critical role they play in supporting Canada’s infrastructure, economy, and communities.

“City Chasing Light”: Deciphering Its Evolutionary Logic from Five Dimensions of the 3rd CCIOE

Published

3 hours ago

on

June 17, 2026

By

From June 12 to 14, the 3rd Changchun International Optoelectronic Expo (CCIOE) was held in Changchun. The event brought together 890 exhibitors, including 42 foreign-funded and joint-venture companies, and more than 2,000 experts and scholars. Seven themed exhibition zones made their debut, setting new records in scale and profile. Yet this expo is far more than a showcase of technologies; it sends deeper signals about Changchun’s reshaping of industrial confidence, the transformation of this old industrial base into a fast follower, and the changing landscape of China’s optoelectronics industry. Looking closely at this CCIOE, we can interpret the evolutionary logic of the “city chasing light” from at least five dimensions.

At the 3rd Changchun International Optoelectronic Expo, exhibitors displayed their equipment.

Dimension One: From the “Cradle of Optics” to a Hundred-Billion-Yuan Track

As China’s first optical research institution, the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP), Chinese Academy of Sciences established the city’s status as the “cradle of optics.” In 2024, Changchun built an industrial system of “3 transformations, 4 strengths, and 7 emerging sectors,” and the CCIOE emerged accordingly. In 2025, the city’s optoelectronics industry scale reached 90.63 billion yuan, with nearly 400 enterprises. Jilin Province has designated it as the “No.1 Project.” The CCIOE serves not only as a window to revisit the pioneering work of Wang Daheng and other forebears but also as a platform where Changchun stands shoulder to shoulder with international giants such as ZEISS and Hexagon, demonstrating its ambition to go global.

Dimension Two: A Strategic Breakthrough for the City – Building China’s Optoelectronics City

In the face of intense competition from cities like Wuhan and Shenzhen, Changchun has steered clear of the cutthroat rivalry in midstream manufacturing and instead maintained a firm grip on original innovation at its source.

On June 8, Changchun clearly defined its focus on six major optoelectronics industry clusters, highlighting its advantage in integrating technological innovation, and serving the national effort to break through “bottleneck” technologies. By the end of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, the city aims for the industry scale to exceed 160 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of no less than 10%, and to add 500 new market entities. The bottleneck areas such as lithography machines and LiDAR are precisely where CIOMP and the “Changchun Optics System” enterprises have deep expertise. The CCIOE showcased a complete path from source innovation to solving urgent national needs.

Dimension Three: Innovation Ecosystem – Coexistence of the “National Team” and “Hidden Champions”

Relying on the organized technology transfer of the “one institute, two universities” – CIOMP, Jilin University, and Changchun University of Science and Technology – Changchun has formed a model that is difficult to replicate. The “Changchun Optics System” enterprises cover the entire chain from chip design and wafer manufacturing to satellite networking, encompassing 52 entities. Gpixel Changchun Microelectronics Inc. (Gpixel) saw its market value exceed 40 billion Hong Kong dollars after listing. Cedar Electronics holds the world’s largest market share in COB small-pitch LEDs. Jilin OLED Material Tech has broken OLED material monopolies. An ecosystem of “leading enterprises + specialized and sophisticated SMEs” is taking shape. In its first year of operation, the “HOPE” model of Jiguang Laboratory added 300 million yuan in capital to Changchun Changguang Zhengyuan through its front-illuminated CMOS technology, providing a replicable example of technology transfer.

At the 3rd Changchun International Optoelectronic Expo, visitors interacted with cultural tourism robots.

Dimension Four: Industry-City Integration Reshaping the Industrial DNA

Designating optoelectronics as its “No.1 Project,” the Changchun Economic and Technological Development Zone is taking the lead in building China’s Optoelectronics City, with coordinated development among Changchun New Area, Jingyue District, Changchun Automobile Economic and Technological Zone, and the China-ROK (Changchun) International Cooperation Demonstration Zone. The project signings at this CCIOE showed improved quality, with investment attraction shifting from quantity to quality. The Changchun Automobile Economic and Technological Zone exhibited Hongqi’s “Tiannian No.1” flying car and smart cockpit, accelerating the integration of “optoelectronics + automobiles.” The transformation from an “automobile city” to an “optoelectronics city” is not about eliminating old industries but about empowering them with new technologies, reflecting a new logic for Northeast China’s revitalization.

Dimension Five: Future Pathways – Atomic-level Manufacturing and “Optics +” Crossovers

This year’s expo hosted the first 2026 Atomic-level Manufacturing Innovation and Development Conference, focusing on frontier areas including atomic processing technologies, equipment, and metrology, it is making forward-looking moves to gain a say in the industries of the future. Meanwhile, the seven themed exhibition zones covered atomic-level manufacturing, commercial aerospace, automotive electronics, low-altitude economy, embodied intelligence, optics + smart agriculture, and more, outlining the diversified enabling pathways of optoelectronics as the “foundation” of a new generation of industries, systematically laying out layouts for automotive transformation, smart agriculture, and the low-altitude economy.

Three consecutive editions of the CCIOE represent Changchun’s sustained effort to break free from path dependence and find new growth drivers. From “Changchun Optics Valley” to “China’s Optoelectronics City,” from the “double thousand” goals to the 160-billion-yuan blueprint, the CCIOE reflects both historical glory and present ambition. Whether the long-tail effect of the expo can be transformed into lasting industrial competitiveness will determine whether the “chase for light” can truly become reality. Changchun’s story continues.
