iCAUR V27 Makes Its First Global Launch In The UAE

 iCAUR officially launches, positioning the UAE as a key global strategic market

The brand targets young and young-at-heart consumers.

The V27 redefines the classic SUV with timeless design and dynamic performance, wrapped in cutting-edge technology.

 

iCAUR, a leading hybrid and electric vehicle brand making waves worldwide, has now officially arrived in the UAE. The brand was launched at a glamorous gala evening at the Park Hyatt Dubai, attended by senior global executives from iCAUR, VIP guest,s and respected members of the media.

As part of the classical theme experience, guests were invited to explore the design and engineering philosophy behind the V27. The showcase highlighted key elements of the vehicle, offering an inside look at how the V27 was conceived, designed, and brought to life, from its distinctive exterior form and interior detailing to the advanced technology that powers its performance. This immersive display allowed visitors to understand not just what the V27 is, but why it was created.

Spearheading the brand’s launch in the Middle East is iCAUR’s mid-to-large all-round hybrid SUV, the iCAUR V27, which enjoyed its global launch in Dubai. This marks the official announcement of its availability to customers worldwide, after the model already drew attention at multiple major global automotive events over the past year.

Tim Zhang, General Manager of Chery International Middle East, said at the launch: "iCAUR’s global debut in the UAE reflects our commitment to consumers across the Middle East. We are dedicated to delivering leading products and premium experiences to young and young-at-heart customers in the region."

True to iCAUR’s vision of a new-energy classic, the V27 blends quintessential boxy SUV design with pioneering New Energy technology to deliver a versatile, rugged SUV experience, both in the city and off-road.

As the brand’s flagship release of the year, the V27 has been developed and tested to exceed industry standards in every way. Before its official launch, the iCAUR development team conducted rigorous road testing in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, including extreme summer heat trials and high-speed intercity driving, ensuring the V27 is fully prepared to confidently handle diverse real-world conditions.

During development, more than 1,000 test vehicles were deployed to multiple locations worldwide, completing over 50 comprehensive test programmes. The total durability testing mileage exceeded 1 million kilometres, covering extreme heat, severe cold, and complex road conditions. This full-cycle, multi-scenario validation ensures that the V27 is fully prepared as it enters the market.

On the product side, the V27 adopts a classic design philosophy. At more than five metres long, its boxy profile is paired with classic round headlights and refined surfaces, striking a balance between rugged character and technological aesthetics.

Inside, the “Stellar Cockpit” concept features the class-first Stellar Porthole dual panoramic sun screen with 99.9% UV blockage, and the floating Star Island ceiling, creating a spacious and tech-forward cabin experience. With a 2,900mm wheelbase and efficient use of space, it offers a roomy and comfortable five-seat layout.

In terms of power, the Golden REEV (Range-Extended Electric Vehicle) provides over 150km pure electric range and more than 995km combined range, while balancing performance and efficiency to meet urban, long-distance, and multi-scenario driving needs.

Unlike conventional plug-in hybrids, the REEV system is fully driven by electric motors, delivering instant torque and smooth acceleration, while the gasoline engine functions solely as a generator when required.

Excitingly, iCAUR continues to build its ecosystem of customisations. The V27 comes with 39 pre-installed ecosystem ports and offers a wide range of upgrade accessories to enhance users’ high-quality lifestyle.

UAE customers will be supported with a network of showrooms and service centres. iCAUR has already opened the flagship showroom at Dubai’s Oasis Centre on Sheikh Zayed Road, along with showrooms in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. These three strategic locations form the basis of iCAUR’s ambitious plans to expand the dealership and distribution network across all seven emirates. 

In addition, as an important member of the iCAUR ecosystem, the AiMOGA Robots will be showcased alongside the V27 in showrooms, allowing users to experience the cutting-edge technology of the new energy era firsthand.

“We have a clear vision for the UAE market – we are not content to simply open showrooms – these locations will be part of a bigger eco-system that includes world class after-sales service and establishing dedicated owner communities, so our valued customers can share experiences, enjoy interesting drives, interact with our highly trained teams and make new friends,” Mr Zhang commented.

Following its global launch in Dubai, the V27 is set to arrive in more countries and regions throughout the year, offering users worldwide a new choice of classic, new-energy boxy SUVs.

Newmont Reports 2025 Mineral Reserves of 118.2 Million Gold Ounces and 12.5 Million Tonnes of Copper

  DENVER - Friday, 20. February 2026 AETOSWire  

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM, ASX: NGT, PNGX: NEM) (Newmont or the Company) reported gold Mineral Reserves ("reserves") of 118.2 million attributable ounces at the end of 2025 compared to 134.1 million attributable ounces at the end of 2024, mainly driven by the divestment of assets in 2025. Newmont's portfolio includes significant reserves from other metals, including 12.5 million attributable tonnes of copper reserves and 442 million attributable ounces of silver reserves.

"In 2025, Newmont maintained its position of having the industry's largest gold reserve base, declaring 118 million ounces of reserves, representing decades of production life with meaningful upside," said Natascha Viljoen, Newmont's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Through the disciplined application of technical rigor in our leading exploration program, we remain focused on extending mine life, discovering new opportunities, and unlocking value across our world-class portfolio of operations and projects."

2025 Reserves & Resources Highlights

The gold industry's largest reserve base with 118.2 million attributable ounces1

Changes since 2024 are mainly driven by divestments (8.6 million ounces), followed by depletion from mining, reclassification of the Yanacocha Sulfides project reserves to resources, and cost escalation assumptions, offset by an increased gold price assumption, resource conversion and other positive revisions at Brucejack, Tanami, Lihir, Ahafo North and Ahafo South

Gold reserves are determined based on a gold price of $2,000 per ounce following the annual pricing review, more than 20 percent below the three-year trailing average price and well below the current spot price

Newmont benefits from a premier operating asset base with gold reserve life of ten years or more at Lihir, Cadia, Tanami, Boddington, Ahafo North, Merian, Cerro Negro, Brucejack, Nevada Gold Mines (NGM), and Pueblo Viejo further enhanced by a broader portfolio and organic project pipeline

Measured & Indicated Gold Mineral Resources2 of 88.1 million attributable ounces and Inferred Resources of 60.6 million attributable ounces, determined based on a gold price of $2,300 per ounce

Significant exposure to other metals including 12.5 million attributable tonnes of copper reserves, 13.1 million attributable tonnes of Measured & Indicated copper resources and 5.6 million attributable tonnes of Inferred copper resources, along with 442 million ounces of silver reserves, 508 million ounces of Measured & Indicated silver resources and 126 million ounces of Inferred silver resources

Additional exposure to other metals including lead, zinc and molybdenum

Exclusive of Mineral Reserves

Percentage of Gold Reserves by Jurisdiction

Newmont’s reserve base is a key differentiator with an operating reserve life of more than ten years at eight managed sites and two non-managed joint ventures, anchored in favorable mining jurisdictions along with significant upside potential from a robust organic project pipeline.

PROVEN & PROBABLE GOLD RESERVES

For 2025, Newmont reported 118.2 million attributable ounces of gold reserves compared to the prior year total of 134.1 million attributable ounces. Divestment of assets accounted for 8.6 million ounces of this reduction3, followed by depletion from mining of 7.2 million ounces, net negative revisions of 5.6 million ounces (primarily from Yanacocha Sulfides reclassified to resource) and cost escalation assumption impacts of 3.1 million ounces, offset by increases from price related revisions of 6.6 million ounces, as well as the addition of 2.0 million ounces from conversion of resources and other additions primarily at Brucejack (+0.7 million ounces) and Lihir (+0.5 million ounces).

_____________________________________________

3

 

Assets divested in 2025 were CC&V, United States; Musselwhite, Canada; Porcupine, Canada; Éléonore, Canada; and Akyem, Ghana.

Managed Assets

Brucejack reserves increased 1.0 million ounces to 2.9 million ounces, primarily due to conversion of resources of 0.7 million, positive net revisions of 0.3 million following favorable drilling results and a favorable price impact of 0.2 million ounces net of cost escalation assumptions, offsetting depletion of 0.2 million ounces

Merian reserves increased 0.4 million ounces to 4.5 million ounces, primarily due to favorable price related revisions of 0.8 million ounces, more than offsetting negative net revisions of 0.2 million ounces and depletion of 0.2 million ounces

Lihir reserves increased 0.2 million ounces to 16.0 million ounces, primarily due to favorable price impacts of 0.8 million ounces and conversion from resources through infill drilling of 0.5 million ounces, partially offset by net negative revisions of 0.3 million ounces offsetting depletion of 0.8 million ounces

Tanami reserves increased 0.2 million ounces to 5.3 million ounces, primarily due to favorable price impacts, net of cost escalation of 0.3 million ounces, additions from net positive revisions of 0.2 million ounces and resource conversion from infill drilling of 0.1 million ounces, more than offsetting depletion of 0.4 million ounces

Ahafo North reserves increased 0.1 million ounces to 4.7 million ounces, primarily due to additions from resources through updated mine designs of 0.2 million ounces, partially offset by depletion of 0.1 million ounces

Red Chris reserves decreased 0.1 million ounces to 3.6 million ounces, primarily due to depletion of 0.1 million ounces

Cerro Negro reserves decreased 0.2 million ounces to 3.0 million ounces, primarily due to depletion of 0.2 million ounces and negative net revisions of 0.1 million ounces, partially offset by 0.1 million ounces of conversions from resources with infill drilling

Ahafo South reserves decreased 0.5 million ounces to 4.1 million ounces, primarily due to the depletion of 0.8 million ounces, partially offset by 0.2 million ounces added at the Apensu South open pit and positive price impacts of 0.1 million ounces

Boddington reserves decreased 0.6 million ounces to 10.2 million ounces, primarily due to depletion of 0.6 million ounces and negative net revisions of 0.1 million ounces, partially offset by favorable price related revisions 0.1 million ounces net of cost escalation assumptions

Cadia reserves decreased 0.6 million ounces to 13.5 million ounces, primarily due to depletion of 0.5 million ounces

Peñasquito reserves decreased 0.9 million ounces to 3.2 million ounces, primarily due to depletion of 0.8 million ounces along with negative net revisions from a block model update of 0.2 million ounces partially offset by favorable price impact of 0.1 million ounces

Yanacocha reserves decreased 4.8 million ounces to 0.5 million ounces, primarily due to the reclassification of 4.5 million ounces of reserves relating to the Yanacocha Sulfides project to resources, allowing Newmont to prioritize other opportunities at site and continue advancing closure activities in non-operating areas

Non-Managed Assets

Newmont’s 38.5 percent interest in Nevada Gold Mines represented 17.4 million attributable ounces of gold reserves at year end, compared to 17.9 million ounces at the end of 2024

Newmont's 40 percent interest in Pueblo Viejo represented 8.2 million attributable ounces of gold reserves at year end with no change from 2024

Newmont's gold grade reserve remained unchanged at 0.94 grams per tonne year over year when adjusted for the divested assets.

GOLD RESOURCES45

At the end of 2025, Newmont reported Measured and Indicated Gold Mineral Resources of 88.1 million attributable ounces, an 11 percent decrease from the prior year total of 99.4 million attributable ounces. Inferred Gold Mineral Resources totaled 60.6 million attributable ounces, a 14 percent decrease from the prior year total of 70.6 million attributable ounces. The main driver of lower resources is 14.6 million ounces removed from assets divested in 20256, together with net negative revisions, net resource conversions to reserves, and updated cost assumptions; partially offset by the resource increases from price assumption related revisions, as well as additions.

Notable Changes7

Cadia resources decreased by 8.5 million ounces (44 percent) to 11.0 million ounces, primarily driven by 5.7 million ounces of net negative revisions related to a geotechnical standoff from the in-pit tailings facility as well as block model updates and changes to inferred resource classifications as a consequence of an updated drill spacing study. An additional 3.0 million ounces of negative impact from higher cost expectations for future caves net of benefits from higher price assumptions

Namosi resources of 5.0 million ounces were removed from resources as Newmont further evaluates the project

Yanacocha resources increased by 4.3 million ounces, primarily driven by 4.5 million ounces reclassified from reserves from Yanacocha Sulfides, aligned with Newmont's decision to indefinitely defer the project

Ahafo South resources increased 45 percent to 7.4 million ounces, primarily driven by 1.7 million ounces of resource additions largely at Apensu underground

Newmont’s Measured and Indicated Gold Mineral Resource grade decreased to 0.58 grams per tonne compared to 0.59 grams per tonne in the prior year. Inferred Gold Mineral Resource increased to 0.9 grams per tonne compared to 0.6 grams per tonne in the prior year, largely due to the removal of inferred resources from Namosi and assets divested.

OTHER METALS

Copper reserves decreased slightly to 12.5 million tonnes from 13.5 million tonnes in the prior year, primarily due to reclassification of the Yanacocha Sulfides project to resources. Measured and Indicated copper resources decreased to 13.1 million tonnes from 14.1 million tonnes. Inferred copper resources decreased to 5.6 million tonnes from 11.0 million tonnes driven almost entirely by the removal of Namosi.

Silver reserves decreased to 442 million ounces compared to 530 million ounces in the prior year, primarily due to the reclassification of the Yanacocha Sulfides project to resources and depletion at Peñasquito. Measured and Indicated silver resources increased to 508 million ounces from 469 million ounces in the prior year while inferred silver resources increased to 126 million ounces from 113 million ounces in the prior year; both due to the reclassification of the Yanacocha Sulfides projects.

Lead reserves decreased slightly to 0.7 million tonnes from 0.8 million tonnes primarily due to depletion. Measured and Indicated lead resources were unchanged at 0.5 million tonnes. Zinc reserves decreased to 1.5 million tonnes from 1.7 million tonnes primarily due to depletion. Measured and Indicated zinc resources increased to 1.4 million tonnes from 1.2 million tonnes.

Molybdenum reserves were unchanged at 0.2 million tonnes. Measured and Indicated molybdenum resources remained unchanged at 0.1 million tonnes.

EXPLORATION OUTLOOK

Newmont’s attributable exploration expenditure for managed operations is expected to be approximately $205 million in 2026 with 80 percent of total exploration investment dedicated to near-mine expansion programs and brownfields with the remaining 20 percent allocated to the advancement of greenfield projects.

Additionally, Newmont’s share of exploration investment for its non-managed operations is expected to be approximately $35 million, for a total consolidated exploration expense outlook of $240 million for 2026.

Newmont expects to invest the largest proportion of exploration funds in prospective targets at Merian, Cerro Negro, and Ahafo South.

UPDATED GOLD PRICE FOR MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES

As part of the annual Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources update, Newmont assesses the metal price assumptions used for the calculation of year-end reserves and resources.

In line with market conditions, Newmont has increased its reserves gold price assumption by 18 percent to $2,000 per ounce from $1,700 per ounce in 2024; which is less than 60 percent of the 2025 average realized gold price. Newmont's updated reserves gold price is approximately 23 percent lower than the three-year trailing gold price average of $2,586 per ounce. Historically, over the last ten years (2015 - 2024), Newmont has assumed a reserve price approximately 13 percent below the three year trailing average. Consistent with Newmont's historical approach, the resources gold price has been calibrated higher than reserves to allow identification of the optimum areas to further expand the life of its assets and to target where additional drilling and study work is required at its operating mines. For 2025, mineral resources are based on a $2,300 per ounce.

Newmont's robust internal processes and proven track record of responsibly and rigorously defining reserves and resources will continue to support the development of its world-class portfolio and organic project pipeline.

GOLD RESERVE SENSITIVITY

A $100 increase in gold price would result in an approximate 5 percent increase in gold reserves while a $100 decrease in gold price would result in an approximate 2 percent decrease in gold reserves. These sensitivities assume an oil price of $75 per barrel (WTI), Australian dollar exchange rate of $0.70 and Canadian dollar exchange rate of $0.75. These sensitivities assume all other inputs remain equal, including all cost and capital assumptions, which may also have a material impact on these approximate estimates.

YolTech Therapeutics Announces Positive Interim Data on YOLT-202 for the Treatment of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency

 Single dose of YOLT-202 led to rapid, robust and dose-dependent increases in AAT levels to normal range

Single dose of YOLT-202 was well tolerated with a favorable safety profile

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- YolTech Therapeutics, a late clinical-stage biotechnology company developing in vivo gene editing therapies, today announced positive interim data from an investigator-initiated trial (IIT) of YOLT-202, the Company’s investigational in vivo base editing therapy, for the treatment of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) that demonstrated positive safety and tolerability as well as meaningful increases in AAT levels in evaluated patients treated with the 35 mg and 45 mg dose levels.

“These interim findings mark an exciting and important milestone for YolTech and for patients living with severe AATD. The rapid, robust, and dose‑dependent increases in functional AAT levels observed in this study—particularly among individuals with the PiZZ genotype—underscore the transformative potential of in vivo base editing as a one‑time treatment approach,” stated Yuxuan Wu, M.D., Founder and CEO of YolTech Therapeutics. “Equally encouraging is the favorable safety profile we have seen to date, which reinforces the precision and thoughtful engineering behind YOLT‑202. With these results in hand, we are more confident than ever in YOLT‑202’s potential to redefine the treatment paradigm for AATD, and we look forward to advancing this program toward an Investigational New Drug (IND) filing with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as we continue our mission to bring durable, life‑changing therapies to patients.”

YOLT-202 is being evaluated in a first-in-human, open-label, single dose escalation study in adult AATD patients, aiming to evaluate safety and tolerability. As of February 6th, two participants genetically confirmed as PiZZ genotype, were enrolled and dosed with YOLT-202 in both the 35 mg and 45 mg dose groups.

Following administration of YOLT-202, both patients showed rapid, robust and dose-dependent increases in AAT level as early as in Week 1. AAT levels in both patients reached above the protective threshold of 11 μM. Additionally, AAT levels increased to normal range (>20 μM) in the 45 mg dose group. These newly produced AAT proteins were both structurally corrected (M-AAT) and functional, with the proportion of corrected M-AAT increasing to >95% in the 45 mg dose group.

YOLT-202 demonstrated favorable safety and tolerability with manageable adverse events (AEs). No severe AEs or AEs leading to discontinuation of YOLT-202 were reported, and all AEs were classified as Grade 1. The most common AE was infusion-related reaction (IRR). Elevation of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were asymptomatic, mild and soon recovered without medication.

The ongoing IIT study (NCT07193615) is evaluating single doses administered via intravenous infusion of YOLT-202 at 35 mg, 45 mg and 55 mg dose levels. YolTech is actively preparing to file an IND with the FDA to support the global clinical development of YOLT-202 in AATD.

About YOLT-202

YOLT-202 is an in vivo gene-editing therapy that corrects PiZ mutation to PiM for the treatment of AATD. Utilizing YolTech’s proprietary adeneine base editor, YOLT-202 is engineered to achieve on-target editing with minimal bystander activity. YOLT-202 is currently being investigated in a first-in-human IIT study designed to evaluate safety and tolerability as well as an optimal biological dose of YOLT-202 in subjects with AATD. YOLT-202 has previously been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. FDA and the Company is currently preparing to file an IND with the U.S. FDA to support clinical development of YOLT-202.

About Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD)

AATD is an inherited, genetic, autosomal co-dominant disorder caused by mutations in the SERPINA1 gene, with the most frequent deficient variants coming from the Z (Glu342Lys) and S alleles (Glu264Val). The presence of Z alleles results in misfolding and polymerization of the AAT, leading to over 95% of severe AATD patients being PIZZ.

About YolTech

Built on HEPDONE™ Novel Editor Platform and non-viral LNP technologies, YolTech Therapeutics is pioneering in vivo gene-editing medicines with the potential for a one-time treatment that provides lifelong benefit. The company’s expanding clinical pipeline targets genetic, metabolic, cardiovascular, and autoimmune diseases, with initial results supporting the potential for durable and transformative therapeutic benefit.

ExaGrid Achieves Customer Milestone

 5,000+ organizations worldwide are actively using ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- ExaGrid®, the leader in Tiered Backup Storage, today announced that over 5,000 customers are actively using its backup storage behind leading backup applications such as Veeam, Commvault, NetBackup, Rubrik, Arcserve, Acronis, SQL Dumps, Oracle RMAN Direct, HYCU, and many other backup applications and utilities.

ExaGrid has achieved many milestones, including:

+81 NPS score

The highest in the backup storage industry

300+ published backup storage customer success stories on its website

More than all competitors combined

200+ Gartner Peer Insights reviews

With a high rating of 4.8/5 stars

24 Industry Awards in the last 3 years

More than any other backup storage provider

Over 20 consecutive quarters with positive: Free Cash Flow, P&L and EBITDA

“ExaGrid realized that using standard primary storage behind a backup application is not a strong solution, and with any level of retention it’s very expensive as well as vulnerable to security attacks. Inline deduplication appliances such as Dell Data Domain are slow for backup, slow for restores, not scalable, and vulnerable to security attacks. ExaGrid created an entirely new architecture called ‘Tiered Backup Storage,’ that has a unique front-end Landing Zone for fast backups and restores, a true scale-out architecture so the backup window stays fixed-length as data grows, and a very comprehensive approach to ransomware recovery with Retention Time-Lock (RTL). RTL consists of a non-network-facing tier, Auto Detect & Guard, a delayed delete policy, and immutability. No other solution has this level of ransomware recovery. Lastly, ExaGrid has a second Repository Tier where all retention is kept in a deduplicated format to reduce storage and cost. ExaGrid’s ‘no planned product obsolescence’ program and 5-year price protection are unsurpassed in the industry,” said Bill Andrews, President and CEO of ExaGrid. “When ExaGrid is in an opportunity, the customer chooses ExaGrid over 70% of the time versus primary storage or inline deduplication options from Dell, HPE, NetApp, Pure Storage and others.”

ExaGrid offers a unique support model, assigning customers to a named level 2 support engineer which allows customers to work with the same senior tech all of the time. This support model is highly coveted in the industry. Over 99% of ExaGrid’s customers have signed up for the maintenance and support agreement.

There is no other company with a backup storage product that offers this level of functionality, a product that just works, that is not undersized, without forced product obsolescence, with high-level customer support, and a 5-year price protection. ExaGrid has the easiest POC (Proof of Concept) test program in the industry, allowing organizations to test ExaGrid in their production environments. All of these unique benefits have resulted in a growing list of organizations choosing ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage to protect their data.

DCO Launches Global “Ctrl+Alt+Delete” Campaign to Combat Online Misinformation and Enhance Trust in Digital Economy

 The “Stop Online Misinformation” campaign marks the culmination of sustained global collaboration to strengthen trust in the safe and all-inclusive digital economy

 

The Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO) has announced the launch of the “Stop Online Misinformation: Ctrl+Alt+Delete,” global campaign to counter online misinformation and strengthen trust in the digital economy, calling for coordinated action by governments, media, the private sector, and digital platforms.

The campaign represents the culmination of a year of sustained multilateral and multistakeholder engagement led by DCO to address misinformation as a growing economic, societal, and trust-related challenge. Underpinned by DCO’s Online Content Integrity initiative, it will roll out in phased stages, anchored in stakeholder pledges and commitments, and advanced  through policy dialogue, public engagement, and digital activation.

The campaign launched on the sidelines of the 5th General Assembly of the DCO in Kuwait, marked by a high-level ministerial panel discussion on combating online misinformation, bringing together ministers from the Ministerial Committee on Online Misinformation, chaired by the State of Kuwait. The panel included H.E. Ms. Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, Minister Delegate to the Head of Government in charge of Digital Transition and Administration Reform of Morocco, H.E. Eng. Sami Issa Smeirat, Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship of Jordan, and H.E. Ms. Shiza Fatima Khawaja, Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunications of Pakistan. The discussion highlighted a growing cross-culture consensus on the need for coordinated action to counter misinformation and strengthen trust in digital spaces.

Ms. Deemah AlYahya, Secretary-General of the Digital Cooperation Organization, said: "Online misinformation has evolved into a digital pandemic, spreading faster than facts, eroding public trust, and undermining the foundations of the digital economy. Left unchecked, it weakens institutions, deepens polarization, and imposes real economic and social costs on societies worldwide.

Confronting this challenge requires collective responsibility and coordinated action across governments, media, digital platforms, and the private sector. Trust is the currency of the digital economy. Safeguarding online content integrity through this campaign is not only about countering falsehoods, it is about protecting openness, strengthening resilience, and ensuring the digital future delivers prosperity for all."

“Stop Online Misinformation: Ctrl+Alt+Delete” reflects DCO’s broader mission to enable digital cooperation that improves lives, supports economic growth, and strengthens trust and resilience in the digital economy.
