The partnership launches with Les Mills' cycling portfolio, with LES MILLS THE TRIP™, RPM®, and LES MILLS SPRINT® becoming available natively on the Spivi platform. The combination of Les Mills' expertly crafted cycling formats with Spivi's immersive performance environment creates an offering that is uniquely positioned to capitalize on that momentum. Both companies have indicated that the initial cycling rollout is the foundation of a broader, long-term content and technology relationship.

"Spivi has built something truly special in the way it brings data and community together in a live fitness setting," said Carter Green, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Les Mills US. "This exciting partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to create a fitter planet. By making Les Mills cycle programs available on Spivi's platform, we'll reach more motivated members in environments where they're already engaged and empower our mutual partners with even more tools to deliver exceptional classes for their members"

For gym and studio operators, the partnership delivers immediate commercial value. Facilities running Spivi gain access to Les Mills' proven programming, which has been shown to drive member acquisition and retention across markets worldwide. For members, the integration means access to best-in-class workouts enhanced by the kind of real-time feedback and gamified experience that makes exercise more rewarding and more habit-forming. Together, Spivi and Les Mills are creating an ecosystem where great content and great technology reinforce each other to deliver better outcomes for everyone.

Taking Biomass to Market: Phi Earth and Sana Fortis Launch Pilot for Regenerative Fuel Systems

PRWeb — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 03:15:54 GMT

Phi Earth Technologies and Sana Fortis have partnered to launch a biomass pilot program in Singapore and Malaysia, integrating Phi Trees™ with high-yield HTG Grass to create a scalable, regenerative agroforestry model. By combining Phi Earth's bio-digital technology with Sana Fortis' agronomic expertise, the initiative aims to establish a high-performance biomass platform for the energy and industrial sectors that restores soil health while maximizing land productivity. This collaboration underpins a broader strategy to deploy sustainable feedstock systems across Southeast Asia, bridging the gap between restorative agriculture and the growing global demand for renewable energy and carbon-linked materials.

Phi Earth Technologies, a bio-digital technology company developing regenerative biomass systems, has partnered with Sana Fortis, a specialist in tropical forage and animal feed systems, to launch a pilot focused on deploying scalable biomass pathways for energy and industrial use. The initiative marks a key step in translating regenerative agroforestry systems into real-world fuel and material applications, as industries seek viable alternatives to conventional fossil-based inputs.

The pilot will combine Phi Earth's Phi Trees™ (enhanced Paulownia) with HTG Grass, a fast-growing, high-yield biomass crop widely used in bioenergy and livestock systems. The collaboration is focused on improved understanding of how integrated agroforestry systems can be optimized at scale. By bringing together Phi Earth's technology with Sana Fortis' established agricultural systems, the pilot will explore new ways of improving productivity while restoring soil health and making more efficient use of land and resources. For both companies, this is an opportunity to test how their respective strengths can come together to create more resilient and commercially viable agricultural models. More broadly, the initiative reflects a growing shift in the industry toward solutions that can deliver consistent biomass supply while supporting long-term environmental sustainability.

"Our focus has always been on building high-performance tropical crop systems," said Simon Denby, Head of Agronomy at Sana Fortis. "Working with Phi Earth allows us to extend that into integrated models that improve productivity while strengthening long-term resilience."

"This pilot is about rethinking how land can work harder and more intelligently," said Theo Davies, Founder of Phi Earth. "By combining our approach with Sana Fortis' expertise, it changes how biomass, energy, and agriculture come together."

HTG Grass was selected for its rapid growth and versatility across biomass markets, including bioenergy, silage, and soil regeneration. When paired with Phi Trees™, the system is expected to create a dual-output biomass platform capable of supporting multiple value chains from renewable energy to carbon-linked applications.

Under the MOU, Sana Fortis will provide land access, field operations, and local inputs, while Phi Earth will deploy its proprietary Phi Tech™ platform, including biological treatments, technical protocols, and monitoring systems. Both parties will collaborate on pilot design, execution, and data analysis to ensure robust, actionable results. The collaboration also allows for potential expansion into additional crops, supporting broader application across Southeast Asia's agricultural landscape.

As demand for sustainable biomass and regenerative agriculture solutions accelerates globally, this partnership positions Phi Earth and Sana Fortis to develop next-generation feedstock systems that align productivity with climate and land restoration goals.

About Phi Earth Technologies Pte. Ltd.

Phi Earth is a Singapore-based bio-digital technology company advancing agroforestry, biomass, and energy systems through its Phi Tech™ platform to enhance plant performance, restore soil health, and support climate-resilient agriculture.

Valentine’s Season Sparks New Momentum for Asia Travel on China Airlines

EIN Presswire — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 05:31:35 GMT

As Valentine’s Day approaches and interest in Asia travel continues to build, China Airlines is marking the season with a combination of expanded connectivity, onboard enhancements, and a major route milestone across North America.

To align with increased early-year demand for long-haul travel, the airline is offering limited-time Valentine’s Day fares on select Asia routes. From January 31 through February 22, 2026, travelers departing from Los Angeles (LAX), Ontario (ONT), San Francisco (SFO), New York (JFK), Seattle (SEA), Phoenix (PHX), and Vancouver (YVR) can book Asia flights starting at US$681, subject to terms and conditions.

The seasonal fares align with China Airlines’ Valentine’s campaign, “Pin Your Next Asia Love Story,” which highlights romantic and culturally rich travel experiences across the region. Travelers are encouraged to visit the China Airlines North America website and follow the airline’s official Facebook and Instagram channels for regional updates and travel information.

Beyond the seasonal offer, the announcement reflects a broader story of network growth and regional impact—most notably on China Airlines’ Ontario–Taipei nonstop route, which is now approaching one million passengers served since its launch in 2018.

Ontario—Taipei Route Nears One Million Passengers

China Airlines was the first Taiwan-based airline to operate from Ontario International Airport and has served the Ontario–Taipei route for nearly eight years, now offering daily nonstop service to Taipei. The route has become a preferred alternative for travelers across Southern California and the Inland Empire, providing direct access to Asia without the congestion at larger coastal gateways.

To commemorate the milestone, China Airlines will partner with the Ontario International Airport Authority on February 2, 2026, to host a special celebration with free giveaways at the departure gate of Flight CI-023 from Ontario to Taipei. The airline’s one-millionth passenger will receive a round-trip ticket to any China Airlines destination in Asia.

Further strengthening connectivity, China Airlines launched an interline partnership with Southwest Airlines in January 2026, enabling travelers to book single-ticket itineraries that combine Southwest’s domestic network with China Airlines’ transpacific services. The partnership allows for through-checked baggage and smoother transfers, positioning Ontario as an increasingly convenient departure point for travelers connecting from cities across the United States to Asia.

Michelin-Starred Dining Debuts Onboard

China Airlines has also introduced a new inflight dining collaboration with Michelin one-star restaurant T+T, debuting in January 2026 on long-haul flights departing Taiwan to North America, Europe, and Oceania.

The menu reflects T+T’s “Tapas × Tasting” inspiration, blending refined French techniques with Asian flavors and Taiwanese influences. Available across all cabin classes, the collaboration brings contemporary Taiwanese cuisine to the in-flight experience.

A standout dish, Wheel Pie Filled with Rose Duck and Truffle, reimagines a familiar Taiwanese street snack through a fine-dining lens—continuing China Airlines’ commitment to delivering thoughtful culinary experiences at 30,000 feet. To date, the airline has partnered with acclaimed brands including Le Palais, Mipon, Moon Moon, Yoshi Bakery, Yang Ming Spring, and Little Tree Food, showcasing Taiwan’s culinary creativity to international travelers.

Passengers may pre-order meals up to 24 hours before departure via the China Airlines website.

Visolis Announces $2.86 Million Award Expansion From U.S. Department of War Under Distributed Bioindustrial Manufacturing Program (DBIMP)

PRWeb — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 04:47:51 GMT

Visolis announced today that it has received an additional $2.86 million in funding under the U.S. Department of War's Distributed Bioindustrial Manufacturing Program (DBIMP). Combined with Visolis' initial award received in July 2024, total funding awarded to the company under DBIMP now exceeds $5 million. The award expansion supports continued maturation of Visolis' technology toward commercial-scale production for defense applications.

The additional funding will support the scale-up of Visolis' non-toxic solvent technology designed to replace hazardous legacy chemicals used in routine aircraft maintenance. The solvent enables effective removal of coatings from aircraft landing gear, allowing maintenance crews to inspect for damage, wear, and corrosion while significantly reducing exposure to harmful chemicals. The technology is intended to improve fleet readiness while enhancing worker safety and environmental performance.

"This award expansion reflects continued confidence in our technology and its relevance to critical defense manufacturing needs," said Dr. Deepak Dugar, CEO and Founder of Visolis. "With more than $5 million in total DBIMP support, we are able to accelerate scale-up of a safer, domestically produced solvent that addresses real operational challenges while strengthening U.S. bioindustrial manufacturing capacity."

The DBIMP award supports Visolis' broader efforts to establish U.S.-based manufacturing capacity for critical chemicals and fuels that support both defense readiness and industrial demand. Advancing these technologies aligns with Visolis' mission to strengthen supply chain resilience while reducing reliance on legacy chemicals with well-documented safety and environmental risks.

The Distributed Bioindustrial Manufacturing Program was launched in January 2024 to expand domestic manufacturing capacity for chemicals critical to national security, industrial resilience, and economic competitiveness. Under the program, selected companies receive funding to advance business planning, technical development, and facility readiness for U.S.-based bioindustrial production. Visolis' award expansion reflects progress made under its initial DBIMP award and supports continued development toward deployment.

About Visolis

Visolis is a U.S.-based biomanufacturing company developing scalable processes to produce critical chemicals and fuels from sustainable, non-toxic inputs. Its technology platform integrates synthetic biology and chemical catalysis to enable cost-effective, domestic production of materials used across defense and industrial markets. By converting renewable and waste-derived feedstocks into high-performance chemicals and fuels, Visolis aims to strengthen supply chain resilience while improving safety and environmental performance.
