Trescon’s CARE MENA empowers Lebanon’s climate leaders to scale sustainable impact

Published

on

Beirut, Lebanon, 4th July 2025, ZEX PR WIREAs Lebanon advances toward energy independence and clean-tech leadership, Trescon’s newly launched Climate Action & Renewable Energy Expo (CARE) presents a timely platform for the country’s climate stakeholders to engage globally. With 10,000+ attendees, 950 investors, and 225 sponsors from 100+ countries expected across the series, CARE drives real partnerships and project delivery to address the region’s climate challenges. 

CARE kicks off in MENA on 26–27 November in Dubai, followed by KSA edition on 8-9 December in Riyadh and India edition on February.

The series opened with the CARE Dialogues on 24 June 2025 – an exclusive, invite-only session, held in Dubai under the theme “Green Finance and Beyond: Driving ESG Across Sectors.” Powered by Emtribe, the event convened senior leaders from finance, policy, and technology to explore practical strategies for embedding ESG into core business models.  

 “As a partner of CARE, we’re proud to back a platform that focuses on what really matters — getting the right people in the room and driving honest, outcome-focused conversations,” said Mohammed Saleem, Founder of Emtribe. He continued, “There’s a lot of talk in this space. CARE stands out by pushing for action that’s practical, collaborative, and needed.” 

As the first official prelude to CARE, the session set the tone for cross-sector collaboration and is helping shape a summit agenda grounded in real-world priorities and regional relevance. 

Lebanon has witnessed a substantial solar boom amid economic turbulence and unreliable grid power. Installed renewables capacity reached 1,297 MW by the end of 2024, growing from just 298 MW in 2015 — a compound annual growth rate of nearly 18% (International Renewable Energy Agency). Solar power now represents over 77% of the country’s total renewable capacity, with rooftop and offgrid systems driven by urgent local demand (Enerdata). A customs report confirmed that Lebanon imported 100,000 tons of solar panels in 2024, marking a fourfold increase compared to the 25,000 tons imported in 2021. This grassroots adoption has also been supported by legislative reforms, including peertopeer energy trading and netmetering laws, expected to add 800–1,200 MW of smallscale renewables in the coming years (PV Magazine). 

CARE offers government figures, private developers, financiers, and climate-tech entrepreneurs from Lebanon a unique opportunity to connect with regional and global peers. Featuring insightful keynotes, panels, roundtables, and a dynamic exhibition, the summit will spotlight clean-tech solutions across sectors such as solar, wind, green hydrogen, water resiliency, and carbon markets.  

Naveen Bharadwaj, Group CEO of Trescon, said: 

With reforms and investment frameworks enabling small-scale and gridtied renewables, Lebanon is at an inflection point. CARE MENA is built to connect local ambition with regional opportunity—helping Lebanese climate-tech leaders gain traction, funding, and collaboration in high-growth markets.”  

CARE is supported by the Global CARE Alliance, an advisory board of senior figures from climate-tech firms, international development agencies, and public policy including:    

  • Dr. Abdullah Belhaif Al Nuaimi, Former Minister of Climate Change & Environment, UAE  
  • Dr. Waleed Alkalash, Former Deputy Minister for Labor Policies / CEO Ministry of Labour / Business Consulting & Services, KSA    
  • Dr. Ioannis Spanos, Vice President – Sustainability, Expo City Dubai, UAE    
  • Alice Spencer, Executive Director, University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, UK    
  • Maher Al Kaabi, Executive Committee Member, UAEIIC & Council Member, UAE Circular Economy Council    
  • Julie Newman, Director of Sustainability, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA   
  • Erik Solheim, Former Minister of Environment, & Former Under Secretary General, UNEP, Norway, and others    

Their combined expertise anchors CARE in real-world climate leadership, helping transform high-level dialogue into concrete action, investment, and global impact.    

The summit also includes the ClimateTech World Cup, a global pitch competition inviting Lebanese start-ups and SMEs to present innovative energy, water, and circular economy solutions to international investors, development institutions, and corporate leaders.  

As MENA nations mobilise around net-zero strategies and climate financing, CARE offers Lebanon a powerful channel to spotlight its clean-tech potential, engage regionally, and scale resilient, clean energy solutions.

D’CENT Wallet and Doppler Finance Partner to Bring Institutional-Grade XRP Yield to Users

Published

on

IoTrust, the company behind the D’CENT hardware and mobile cryptocurrency wallets, has formed a strategic partnership with Doppler Finance, an XRPL-based staking and rewards protocol. This collaboration enables D’CENT users to access institutional-grade staking infrastructure directly from within the wallet, paving the way for a seamless end-to-end digital asset experience from secure storage to investment and yield generation.

Built on a foundation of hardware-level security and an intuitive app experience, D’CENT has been evolving beyond a traditional “custody-only” wallet into an actionable platform that connects storage with analysis, decision-making, and returns.

The integration with Doppler Finance marks a pivotal step in extending these investment actions into tangible earning opportunities. Soon, XRP holders will be able to participate in Doppler’s native staking and reward protocol without leaving the D’CENT wallet app transforming idle assets into active yield, and completing the investment journey from secure storage, to action, to yield.

In the near future, users will be able to view asset performance, execute staking strategies, and claim rewards all within a single, secure environment. This represents a new level of convenience and completeness in the user journey, one that traditional hardware wallets have not delivered before.

“D’CENT is developing into a digital asset hub that goes beyond storage, helping users design their investment and earning journey,” said Sangsu Baek, CEO of IoTrust. “Our collaboration with Doppler is an important step in strengthening that vision.”

A Doppler Finance spokesperson added, “Partnering with D’CENT, which has a strong base of XRP holders, will be a powerful catalyst for the growth of XRPfi. We will deliver a trusted yield experience backed by institutional-grade operations and transparency.”

Looking ahead, the two companies plan to expand their partnership to include user education, UX enhancements, and compliance readiness for evolving regulatory landscapes with joint market entry strategies targeting XRP-strong regions such as Japan and the United States. D’CENT remains committed to offering a wallet experience that connects asset storage with real investment opportunities and yield realization.

AI and Accounting Collaboration to Reshape Military Financial Oversight in Southeast Asia

Published

on

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia –   A groundbreaking regional initiative is preparing to pilot an AI-powered accounting system designed to modernize defense and military financial operations across Southeast Asia. The collaboration, led by strategists Karunesh Kannu Singhania, Emily Ng, and Abhishek Agrawal, aims to address long-standing inefficiencies in defense-related accounting while balancing transparency and security.

Tackling Oversight Gaps in Defense Spending

Defense institutions across the globe have faced persistent challenges in managing financial oversight. Issues such as cost overruns, duplicate invoicing, and fragmented procurement data remain common. While investments in logistics and equipment have advanced, financial systems often remain outdated — limiting agility and leaving oversight gaps.

The new platform introduces a modular, AI-native accounting framework built for high-security, high-complexity environments. Core capabilities include:

  • Automated reconciliation across procurement workflows
  • Anomaly detection to identify irregular spending patterns
  • Predictive analytics for more agile budget planning
  • Secure, role-based reporting for oversight without compromising confidentiality

Path Toward 2026 Pilot

The initiative is scheduled to enter controlled testing by the end of Q1 2026 with select institutional partners. This milestone will allow the system to be evaluated under real-world procurement and budgeting cycles.

Karunesh Kannu Singhania, system accounting strategist for the project, stated:
“Military budgets are not just about numbers — they are about trust, readiness, and the ability to respond quickly without waste. AI gives us a way to combine precision with adaptability in a way legacy systems never could.”

A Cross-Border First in Defense-Finance AI

This initiative represents one of the first large-scale efforts in Southeast Asia to apply artificial intelligence to defense-grade accounting. With collaboration spanning Singapore, Malaysia, and India, it unites private innovators, institutional stakeholders, and policy experts in a shared mission.

Karunesh Kannu Singhania further added:
“By early 2026, when our pilots begin, we expect to show not only efficiency gains but also a new model for accountability in sectors where financial clarity has historically been difficult to achieve.”

Observers note that the program could provide a blueprint for other regions seeking to reconcile fiscal discipline with operational readiness in high-security environments. Interest has already emerged from private contractors, compliance consultancies, and academic researchers studying financial automation in defense.

Looking Ahead

With controlled pilots scheduled for early 2026, the next phase will focus on refining security protocols, ensuring interoperability with existing defense IT infrastructure, and stress-testing the platform under simulated procurement cycles.

If successful, the initiative could mark a turning point for how militaries manage, monitor, and secure their finances in an increasingly complex global environment.

The Truth Behind Refugee Camps A Raw Unfiltered Story That Breaks the Myth of Humanitarian Fairytales

Published

on

Refugee camps. The phrase often conjures up images of humanitarian documentaries with soft music, noble speeches, and the promise of resilience and hope. But reality? It’s far more complex, chaotic, and human.

Bucharest, Romania, 19th Aug 2025 – In his latest book, now available on Google Books, Adrian Dumitru takes readers inside the heart of life in a refugee camp—stripped of the clichés, stripped of the staged gratitude, and stripped of the halos.

The narrative begins when buses rolled in with people carrying nothing but plastic bags and broken nerves, and a “refugee camp” was born overnight. What followed wasn’t the neat humanitarian picture often painted for the world. Instead, it was hundreds of exhausted strangers—hungry, fearful, short-tempered—thrown together in conditions that tested patience, empathy, and the very essence of humanity.

Over three years, Dumitru witnessed the chaos and contradictions of camp life:

  • Scarcity – Food never enough, space non-existent, privacy impossible.
  • Fractures – Fights over blankets, tempers snapping, volunteers burning out.
  • Harsh Truths – Gratitude was rare, complaints were endless, and survival trumped everything.
  • Moments of Light – A child’s laughter after weeks of silence, a shared piece of bread, a hug that kept a volunteer going.

“Refugee camps aren’t about halos and heroism,” Dumitru writes. “They’re about survival with drama. They’re soap operas without glamour and with a lot more crying. They show us who we really are when everything else is stripped away.”

This book is not a charity poster—it’s a mirror. It reflects the raw, unfiltered, brutally honest truth of life in camps: sometimes inspiring, often messy, always real.

Readers looking for polished narratives of heroism won’t find them here. But those ready to face the complexity of humanity at its most fragile will discover a story that lingers long after the last page.

Availability

The book is available now on Google BooksAmazon and Apple Books
