Internexa Launches PoP at HostDime’s Bogota, Colombia Data Center

HostDime, a global hyper-edge data center company, announced that InterNexa – one of the largest IP networks and fiber operators in Colombia – has deployed a Mega PoP inside HostDime’s Tier IV certified data center in Bogotá, codenamed Nebula.

InterNexa operates a 32,000+ km fiber optic network throughout Colombia, and with its backbone now on-net, Nebula is established as a premier interconnectivity hub. The facility provides fiber carriers, cloud providers, content providers, AI workloads, ISPs, OTTs, peering exchanges, and enterprises with ultra-low latency, high-capacity access into the Colombian market. This positions Nebula as one of the most interconnected data centers in the country. Customers in Nebula can now seamlessly tap into InterNexa’s network, while InterNexa’s clients gain access to Nebula’s next-generation Tier IV infrastructure to expand in Colombia.

This alliance also connects HostDime’s 70,000-square-foot, purpose-built Tier IV hyper-edge data center directly to InterNexa’s ecosystem of 16 facilities. By leveraging InterNexa’s redundant ring topology and major peering points, HostDime clients in Nebula gain an advantage through direct connectivity into InterNexa’s network for accelerated content and workload delivery.

“Having InterNexa on-net is a major milestone for HostDime Colombia and Colombia’s digital infrastructure. When we set out to build Nebula, our vision was to create next-gen digital infrastructure that would foster partnerships like this – building an ecosystem that benefits all stakeholders, from cloud and content providers to AI inferencing workloads and fiber carriers. I encourage everyone to visit Nebula and experience firsthand what a purpose-built, next-generation data center feels and looks like. You will leave inspired.” – Manny Vivar, HostDime Founder and CEO

HostDime’s Nebula Data Center, located in North Bogotá (Tocancipá), is one of the only Uptime Institute Tier IV certified facilities in Colombia, backed by a 100% uptime SLA. It features 6 MW of power capacity, rack densities up to 50 kW, and 10+ fiber carriers already on-net. The facility is sustainably designed, holding EDGE Building environmental certifications. Its carrier-neutral operation, combined with next-gen infrastructure capabilities, offers Nebula occupants an unmatched environment to thrive in the Colombian market.

Beyond the enterprise market, this network expansion also improves the digital experience for Colombian end users. With Nebula as a direct node on InterNexa’s backbone, streaming services, cloud apps, and online platforms can deliver content closer to end users, enabling faster performance, smoother gaming, and more reliable access without international backhauling.

Colombia is rapidly establishing itself as a regional technology hub, with demand for reliable, low-latency infrastructure surging across financial services, government, energy, media, and AI applications. AI workloads specifically require high availability and ultra-fast inferencing at the edge, making Nebula’s Tier IV infrastructure and direct fiber connectivity an advantage for enterprises building next-generation services. By serving as a strategic interconnection point within Bogotá’s digital ecosystem, Nebula empowers enterprises to scale while contributing to the country’s economic and technological growth.

This partnership reinforces HostDime’s vision to design, build, and operate next-generation data centers in emerging and underserved markets, providing global clients with the edge infrastructure needed for growth, and positioning HostDime as a key driver of Colombia’s digital future.

GMG G-LUBRICANT Achieves 13.8% Fuel Saving in Major Australian Charity Rally

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) (“GMG” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results of the G-LUBRICANT product demonstration test in a charity car rally across 3,850 kilometres in Australia (the “Charity Rally”). The Charity Rally ran from Australia’s central city of Alice Springs to the country’s Gold Coast. GMG sponsored the GC Strip rally team from the Gold Coast in their participation in the Charity Rally (the “Rally Car Team”).

Before the start of the Charity Rally, the Rally Car Team drove 2,650km, 2,180km on sealed and 470km on unsealed roads, from Gold Coast to Alice Springs over a three day period. The Rally Car Team made the trip in a Ford Falcon Petrol/Gasoline engine rally car that had not yet been treated with G-LUBRICANT. On the trip to Alice Springs, the Ford Falcon averaged 10.8ltrs / 100km of fuel.

The Charity Rally itself began in Alice Springs and ran a total of 3850 kilometres, approximately 2,000km on sealed and 1,850 on unsealed roads (some of which had river crossings and were badly rutted), to Australia’s Gold Coast. After adding G-LUBRICANT, the Ford Falcon Rally Car averaged 9.3ltrs / 100km on the trip, a reduction of 1.5ltrs / 100km, approximately 13.8%, in fuel efficiency savings.

The Rally Car Team Lead – Scott Hubbard – commented: “Not only did we have better fuel efficiency, but we noticed a little drop in engine temperature and the engine definitely sounded smoother. By the finish line, we had beaten the car up pretty badly, front end suspension gone, front shocks completely failed, cracked windscreen, roof damage, exhaust damaged, front wheels knocked out of alignment, gearbox issues, several tyres shredded and a number of cosmetic damages to the car. In fact, the only thing that really made it through the rally unscathed and in perfect working order was the engine!”

The Charity Rally is not a race, but rather a challenge to achieve the unthinkable to drive cars worth just $1,500 across Australia via some of its most formidable roads, all in the name of charity. The Charity Rally is a dedicated fundraising event for cancer research with funds going to Cancer Council, one of the largest non-government funders of cancer research in Australia. Cancer Council conducts and funds research studies across all cancers and all stages of the cancer journey. Thanks to the community funds raised by events such as the Charity Rally, Cancer Council can fund world-class research that reduces the impact of cancer for everyone. Approximately $59 million over the past 15 years has been raised by Box Rallies to date, supporting ground-breaking projects.

GMG’s Chief Executive Officer, Craig Nicol, commented: “We were proud to sponsor the Charity Rally charity team from the Gold Coast – the GC Strip – it was so good to see them get a good fuel saving result from G-LUBRICANT at such a worthy event – we get consistent feedback that our graphene enhanced engine oil additive provides 10% or above fuel savings – so great to see the GC Strip Rally Car Team got this as well.”

GMG’s Chairman and Non-Executive Director, Jack Perkowski, commented “Such a great customer testimonial for such a great product.”

Reclaims Global Positions for Next Phase of Growth with Successful Placement and Strong Sector Momentum

SGX-Catalist listed Reclaims Global Limited (“Reclaims Global” or the “Company” and together with its subsidiary, the “Group”), an eco-friendly integrated service provider within Singapore’s construction sector, is pleased to announce that the Company has successfully completed a share placement (“Placement”), comprising a total of 20,000,000 new shares issued at a price of S$0.39 per share, raising gross proceeds of S$7.8 million.

With its integrated and synergistic business model within Singapore’s construction industry, the Group specialises in the customisation of excavation/demolition/building construction solutions, operating fleet management of construction vehicles and equipment as well as the recycling of construction and demolition waste.

“This successful placement marks a key milestone for the Group as the macro growth momentum in Singapore’s construction industry, coupled with national investment in coastal protection initiatives, creates opportunities for Reclaims Global to deliver enhanced long-term value to our stakeholders,” said Mr. Chan Chew Leh, Executive Chairman.

“Building on our established foundation and track record within the construction industry, Reclaims Global is well-positioned to pursue larger-scale projects as a trusted partner.

GMG Achieves Major Commercial Milestone – THERMAL-XR(R) to be Distributed Through Australian Beijer Ref and Kirby Network

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) (“GMG” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Beijer Ref has agreed to offer the Company’s proprietary THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE heat transfer coating as an optional coating solution on Beijer Ref and Kirby branded refrigeration evaporator coils, including the Beijer Patton and Kirby Guardian lines as seen in Figure 1, across all of Beijer Ref’s and Kirby’s approximately 73 wholesale locations in Australia starting from 17 November 2025. Beijer Ref customers electing to have the optional coating solution applied to their Beijer Ref or Kirby refrigeration evaporator coils will contract directly with Beijer Ref, who will enter into a bilateral agreement with the Company, subject to GMG’s standard terms and conditions. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in GMG’s commercialization of its innovative coating products for energy efficiency and corrosion resistance in the HVAC-R industry.

While the collaboration is for an indeterminate period, the Company anticipates that as the advantages of THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE are experienced by customers electing to have the coating applied, the benefits to both Beijer Ref and the Company will support a long-term arrangement. However, at present either party may terminate the collaboration at any time.

Beijer Ref is one of the world’s largest global refrigeration and HVAC wholesalers, headquartered in Malmö, Sweden, with operations spanning more than 40 countries and over 500 branches worldwide, 6,000 employees and 200,000 customers. In Australia, Beijer Ref Group distributes through Kirby, Beijer Ref Australia, SCM REF Australia, and ACD Trade, providing air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, components, and engineering solutions. The company serves diverse sectors such as supermarkets, cold storage, and industrial refrigeration, combining expertise with local manufacturing and distribution capabilities.

GMG’s THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE coating utilizes the Company’s unique graphene-based formulation to improve the thermal performance and longevity of heat exchange surfaces. The application of this coating to Beijer Patton and Kirby Guardian evaporator coils is expected to enhance corrosion resistance, cooling efficiency, reduce energy consumption and provide sustainability benefits across diverse cooling environments. This initiative extends the availability of GMG’s product through Beijer Ref’s extensive distribution network while offering Australian customers improved system performance and energy/emission reduction pathways.

GMG plans to utilize a network of trained and approved HVAC contractors to apply its THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE coating on refrigeration and air-conditioning coils for this roll out for coating Beijer Ref products starting in the capital cities of mainland Australia. Each participating contractor will undergo GMG certification in the GMG SPRAY ACADEMY to ensure they are proficient in the coating’s three-stage process: surface cleaning and preparation, graphene-based coating application, and post-application inspection and maintenance verification. This ensures consistent quality, adherence to safety protocols, and correct use of GMG’s proprietary application methods.​​

These certified contractors will deliver coating services on-site or at pre-approved GMG spray coating plants nationally, enabling GMG to scale deployment seamlessly through both direct and distributor channels, particularly in collaboration with Beijer Ref and Kirby stores. By drawing on established HVAC service professionals, the Company ensures local availability, rapid turnaround for installations, and full compliance with the quality standards required for quality assurance.​

This contractor program forms part of GMG’s strategic commercialization model, where trained technicians act as frontline partners in the installation of graphene-enhanced coatings for end users. The approach maximizes accessibility, maintains warranty integrity, and strengthens GMG’s reputation for technical excellence and customer support across Australia’s HVAC-R market.

GMG’s Chief Executive Officer, Craig Nicol, commented: “We are proud to see THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE incorporated into Beijer Ref’s and Kirby’s product offerings in Australia as an option for their leading HVAC-R products. This partnership demonstrates the growing recognition of graphene-enhanced materials as a viable route to corrosion resistance and greater efficiency in conventional HVAC-R systems. The Company continues to expand its market reach globally through strategic channel partners and remains committed to advancing environmentally responsible technologies through graphene innovation.”

GMG’s Chairman and Non-Executive Director, Jack Perkowski, commented “Congrats to the team – great to see this next step in the roll out of GMG’s global leading energy saving products.”

About GMG:

GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, ‘tuneable’ and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications.

The Company’s present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications.

Another product GMG has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines.

In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene aluminium-ion batteries (“G+AI Batteries”). GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries.

GMG’s 4 critical business objectives are:

  1. Produce Graphene and improve/scale cell production processes
  2. Build Revenue from Energy Savings Products
  3. Develop Next-Generation Battery
  4. Develop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution Capability

ASEAN Ceramics & ASEAN Stone 2025 Concludes with Sustainability Insights and Strengthened Industries Connections

The ASEAN Ceramics & ASEAN Stone 2025 Exhibition has concluded its 9th and 2nd edition respectively in Bangkok, Thailand. The exhibition, organised by MMI Asia Pte Ltd, regional subsidiary of Messe Muenchen, supported by Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), and in consultation with Asian Exhibition Services Ltd. (AES), has once again successfully undertaken the role as the largest international gathering of the ceramics and natural stone industry in Southeast Asia. Inaugurated by Mr. Surapon Plumjai, General Deputy Director of the Department of Industrial Promotion (DIPROM) Thailand, Ministry of Industry and Mr. Atuk Chirdkiatisak, Chairman, Ceramics Industry Club (CICT) Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) amongst other regional and local association leaders from the Thai Ceramics Society (TCS) and Vietnam Building Ceramic Association (VIBCA), the exhibition opened its doors to over 200 exhibiting brands and companies, and over 3,000 industry players from nearly 30 countries attended the event from October 15 – 17, 2025. The top 5 international visiting countries came from India, China, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia. The exhibition is a continuation of its previous ceramics and stone editions, co-locating under one roof to create synergy for a unified marketplace for innovation, technology, and collaboration. Notably, this year’s edition also marked the first time that the ASEAN Stone exhibition has been hosted in Thailand, and it continues to be supported by Confindustria Marmomacchine, Italy’s premier natural stone association, and Thailand’s Asia Mining Council.

The trade fair has brought light to the industries’ unyielding commitment to the development and progress towards advancement in the materials, technologies and machinery for ceramics and natural stone production. With the focal theme “Pioneering a Sustainable & Innovative Future for Ceramics and Stone in Southeast Asia”, exhibitors have introduced and showcased their latest product innovations and technologies for the regional manufacturers of white-ware ceramics, natural stone tiles and numerous products. The exhibition takes lead in the expansion of regional connections with the debut of the European Pavilion this year, bringing in companies from Germany, Spain, Portugal and Italy, together with other country pavilions of Thailand, China, Italy, Turkey and EU, to create a gateway for establishing new connections with the ASEAN region.

As highlighted by several exhibitors and trade visitors, a platform such as ASEAN Ceramics and ASEAN Stone is still the preferred choice to network and gain exposure to a global reach in the shortest amount of time. Michael Wilton, CEO & Managing Director of MMI Asia Pte Ltd and organiser of the exhibition, remarked at the opening ceremony, “The two exhibitions aim to provide a comprehensive platform for showcasing the latest innovations in ceramic and natural stone machinery, materials, and technologies, creating unparalleled opportunities for collaboration, business growth, and knowledge sharing.” Mr. Atuk Chirdkiatisak, the Chairman of Ceramics Industry Club (CICT), Federation of Thai Industries (FTI), has also expressed his optimism in his speech, “With strong cooperation between the public and private sectors, I believe Thailand and ASEAN can position ourselves as a leading hub in ceramic manufacturing – not only in production, but also in innovation and sustainability.”

Within the exhibition hall, ASEAN Ceramics & ASEAN Stone Conference, also serving as an exhibitor forum, will examine the steps needed for the industry to progress, embrace innovation, and ensure the longevity of ceramics and natural stone production in the region. Exhibitors demonstrated the latest digitalisation and product upgrades. Topics include:

  • Addressing Environmental Challenges and Solutions in the Ceramics Sector
  • Kiln Furniture: Principles, Applications, and Market Trends in Asia
  • Advanced Polishing Technologies for Engineered Stone

Complementary side events such as the pre-event factory tour for exhibitors, networking receptions, ceramic academic pavilion, and live ceramic arts demonstrations by ceramic art studios from Bangkok and Nakorn Ratchasima, have offered visitors a holistic experience, embracing innovation while celebrating Thailand’s craftsmanship and cultural heritage at once.

Continuing the legacy of the previous editions held in Thailand, the ASEAN Ceramics & ASEAN Stone show floor will also be hosting the International Conference for Traditional and Advanced Ceramics, ICTA2025.

The conference invites over 15 local universities and regional experts in materials science research. Discussions encompassed areas such as Advanced Ceramics, Building and Construction Materials, and Ceramics for Energy and Environmental Applications amongst others. “ASEAN Ceramics and Stones 2025 serve as a vital platform for sharing innovations, exploring emerging trends, and fostering collaboration across the global ceramic industry.”, Dr. Sirithan Jiemsirilers, President of the Thai Ceramic Society (TCS), has stated. “Beyond showcasing technology, this exhibition also strengthens professional relationships and encourages the adaptation and transformation of the ceramic sector to remain competitive in a changing global landscape.”.

Southeast Asia continues to boast a diverse production market in the manufacturing of sanitaryware, raw materials, insulators, tableware, supplies, refractory, heavy clay and advanced ceramics. The next ASEAN Ceramics & ASEAN Stone – the 10th and 3rdedition of Southeast Asia’s leading international exhibition of Machinery, Technology and Materials for manufacturing of ceramics and natural stone, will take place in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Experts and property seekers distinguish the finest real estate at the 12th PropertyGuru Asia Awards Malaysia in partnership with iProperty

The 12th PropertyGuru Asia Awards Malaysia in partnership with iProperty, presented by Lim Soh & Goonting Advocates & Solicitors, today unveiled the nation’s finest real estate companies and developments during a black-tie gala held at The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur.

Welcome speech by Mr. Jules Kay, General Manager of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events

Celebrating success across the full spectrum of the property sector, this year’s programme combined the insights of an independent judging panel, comprehensive market data, and public opinion. A total of 73 categories honoured outstanding achievements in Malaysian real estate: from luxury residences to affordable housing, as well as innovative commercial developments nationwide.

JLand Group receives Best Developer (Malaysia)

JLand Group emerged as the year’s most decorated winner, gaining the prestigious Best Developer title for the first time, alongside Best Developer (Southern Malaysia) and Best Industrial Developer.

A milestone at this year’s gala was the presentation of the Consumer Demand Awards, a new set of honours based not on jury deliberation but on preferences of Malaysians actively searching for property on the country’s leading marketplaces: PropertyGuru.com.my and iProperty.com.my. These data-driven awards celebrated the developments most in demand among property seekers nationwide and overseas.

The inaugural Consumer Demand Award winners are City Square Office Tower by Berinda Group; Leisure Farm by Mulpha International; Mutiara Central Cheras by Mutiara Johan Group; R&F Princess Cove by R&F Development Sdn Bhd; and The Exchange 106 by Mulia Property Development Sdn Bhd.

Jules Kay, general manager of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events, said: “Our awards in Malaysia have diversified over the years to not only celebrate real estate excellence, but also capture the pulse of the market. These accolades reflect developers’ willingness to innovate and harness the power of data to give consumers a say in the selection process, with the support of Malaysia’s two leading property marketplaces. The awards match the real needs of property seekers, with winners exemplifying a broad spectrum of value, from the highest tiers of luxury to the most affordable spaces. The awardees also offer a snapshot of Malaysia’s diverse real estate segments, which continue to serve those who visit, work, or seek a place to call home. Malaysia’s award-winning developers offer lifestyle and investment propositions that even extend beyond its borders, adding an international element to the winners’ lineup.”

Datuk Ar. Ezumi Harzani Ismail, chairperson of the independent panel of judges, said: “As our selection process expands beyond the perspectives of fellow judges to include the voices of consumers and property seekers with genuine market aspirations, the accomplishments of this year’s winners stand out as truly well-rounded. We remain impressed not only by the advancements in development and design but also by the dedication of developers to exceed sustainability expectations, addressing market demands while being mindful of environmental responsibilities. It is also encouraging to see projects seamlessly integrated into their wider communities, from transit-oriented developments to townships and spaces that support remote work and mixed-use living. With these outstanding achievers, we are confident that the future of Malaysian real estate is in excellent hands.”

Marking its 20th edition in 2025, the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards series culminates in the Grand Final in Bangkok on 12 December 2025. From Malaysia, 23 winners will advance to compete for the Best in Asia titles against entries from 14 other markets on this international platform.

About GMG:

GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, ‘tuneable’ and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications.

The Company’s present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC-R”) coating (or energy-saving coating) which is now being marketed into other applications including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres. Another product GMG has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines.

In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene aluminium-ion batteries (“G+AI Batteries”). GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries.

GMG’s 4 critical business objectives are:

  1. Produce Graphene and improve/scale cell production processes
  2. Build Revenue from Energy Savings Products
  3. Develop Next-Generation Battery
  4. Develop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution Capability
