Supporting international entrepreneurs through Nevis company formation and offshore bank account opening within 24 to 48 hours


DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, July 23 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trinity Group has entered into a strategic collaboration with Hamilton Reserve Bank to support international entrepreneurs and businesses, establishing a Nevis International Business Company (IBC) with a streamlined pathway from company formation to international banking. Through the collaboration, eligible clients may establish an offshore bank account within 24 to 48 hours, subject to Hamilton Reserve Bank's independent onboarding procedures, customer due diligence and applicable regulatory requirements.

Nevis has earned international recognition as a respected jurisdiction for cross-border business, supported by its English common law heritage, modern corporate legislation and established international business environment. Increasingly, entrepreneurs and international businesses are choosing Nevis not only for company incorporation, but also for the integrated professional support that facilitates international business, including corporate advisory and international banking.

Trinity Group serves as the lead corporate adviser throughout the incorporation process, helping entrepreneurs and businesses establish Nevis corporate structures aligned with their commercial objectives. Combining international corporate advisory expertise with practical guidance on incorporation and ongoing administration, the firm supports clients at every stage of the Nevis company formation process.

Following incorporation, eligible clients requiring international banking services may be introduced to Hamilton Reserve Bank.

* The collaboration is neither a merger, acquisition, joint venture nor exclusive partnership. Trinity Group and Hamilton Reserve Bank remain fully independent while combining their expertise to simplify Nevis company formation and access to international banking.

MAVENIR’S CLOUD-NATIVE IMS AND VOICE SERVICES RATED VERY STRONG BY GLOBALDATA

KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 (Bernama) -- Software company Mavenir announced that its MAVcore Cloud-Native IMS and Voice Services received a Very Strong rating in GlobalData’s 2026 IMS and Voice Core: Competitive Landscape Assessment.

The rating placed Mavenir among the industry's top-rated IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and Voice Core providers alongside Nokia, ZTE, and Ericsson, according to a statement.

The report evaluated vendors across five dimensions, namely solution architecture, platform and performance, feature and application support, interoperability, and deployment experience, with MAVcore earning a Strong to Very Strong rating across all five areas.

Mavenir Executive Vice President & General Manager, IMS & RAN, Sachin Karkala said being recognised as Very Strong by GlobalData validates the investment Mavenir has made in cloud-native voice architecture.

“As operators worldwide decommission legacy networks and look to monetise voice through artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled services, Mavenir's ground-up cloud-native approach positions our customers to move faster and scale with confidence,” added Karkala.

Meanwhile, GlobalData Senior Principal Analyst, Andy Hicks said Mavenir designed its Cloud-Native IMS solution from the ground up for Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and 5G voice. The architecture, and its base of over 50 voice customers worldwide, are among the factors that earned Mavenir a Very Strong rating in this year's assessment.

Beyond the five rated dimensions, GlobalData highlighted Mavenir's AI roadmap stating Mavenir is focused on in-call AI services, including simultaneous translation, agentic small and medium-sized business assistants, and transcription, targeting what GlobalData identifies as the fastest-growing voice service opportunity.

The company’s signalling security, spam detection, and fraud management capabilities add a further layer of differentiation and a foundation for value-added services.

As voice calling evolves from human-to-human interaction to human-to-agent interaction, Mavenir will continue to invest in cloud-native architecture and AI-enabled services that help operators modernise their voice networks and capture new sources of revenue.

GRADIANT SUPPORTS EUROPE’S SEMICONDUCTOR EXPANSION WITH WATER SOLUTIONS

 

Today, Gradiant announced the early completion of ultrapure water and water recovery systems for a €5 billion semiconductor facility in Dresden, supporting expanded European chip production, improved water efficiency, and stronger supply chain resilience.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 (Bernama) -- Gradiant, a global leader in advanced water and wastewater solutions, has completed its work for a major new semiconductor manufacturing facility in Dresden, strengthening Europe’s capacity to produce technologies powering an increasingly digital and electrified world.

Representing an investment of approximately five billion euros, the new facility is one of Germany’s largest industrial projects and a significant expansion within Silicon Saxony, Europe’s leading semiconductor cluster. (1 Euro = RM4.65)

The project doubles manufacturing capacity at the customer’s Dresden site and is expected to create approximately 1,000 highly skilled jobs, according to Gradiant in a statement.

It is supported by approximately one billion euro in public funding programmes, including the European Chips Act and the Important Project of Common European Interest. The investment will strengthen European semiconductor supply chains and improve the resilience of industries that depend on advanced chips.

Built for production on 300-millimetre wafers, the facility will manufacture power semiconductors and analogue and mixed-signal technologies that are essential to artificial intelligence (AI) data centres, electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, power grids, and industrial applications.

Gradiant supplied ultrapure water and water recovery systems for the facility, with solutions engineered to meet the stringent purity, reliability, and process consistency requirements of advanced semiconductor fabrication.

The rinse-water recovery systems supplied by Gradiant enable water from selected production processes to be captured and reused for appropriate applications within the facility, supporting efficient resource use and strengthening the resilience of large-scale manufacturing operations.

The facility uses industrial water rather than drinking water for its operations, helping conserve valuable drinking water resources. Internal recycling processes allow production water to be reused multiple times, with a target water recycling rate of up to 45 per cent by 2033.

Gradiant completed its project scope three months ahead of schedule, reflecting close coordination among the company, the customer, and the broader project team, as well as Gradiant’s ability to execute complex infrastructure projects under the semiconductor industry’s rigorous quality, safety, and scheduling requirements.

LEPAS UNVEILS L8 WITH INTELLIGENT LEX PLATFORM

KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 (Bernama) -- LEPAS is bringing its new L8 model to global markets, with its proprietary Intelligent LEX Platform inspired by the composure, precision and control displayed by the greatest playmakers at the 2026 United States-Canada-Mexico football tournament.

Designed for drivers who seek elegance and confidence rather than aggression, the LEPAS L8 combines the DHT230 dedicated hybrid transmission, an approximate 1,300-kilometre comprehensive range and European-tuned chassis dynamics.

It also features full-scenario intelligent driving assistance, advanced intelligent parking, and five-dimensional elegant sensory cabin technology, establishing a new benchmark for intelligent, refined, and confidently composed mobility worldwide.

Reflecting on the tournament, LEPAS said football's greatest players exemplified the composure and precision that inspired its Intelligent LEX Platform.

LEPAS in a statement said its dedicated Intelligent LEX Platform strives to balance energy efficiency with elegant handling so that every acceleration and every corner is taken with unwavering composure.

The platform also delivers a textbook "technology triple-play" in performance, range, and driving refinement. The DHT230 dedicated hybrid transmission, with its precise and composed pass-and-possession-like characteristics, achieves the perfect balance between power and energy efficiency.

Meanwhile, the chassis, fine-tuned by a European specialist team and paired with intelligent electronic controls, endows the vehicle with a rhythm that is composed and controlled – never aggressive on acceleration, never flustered under braking.

The full-scenario intelligent driving assistance system enabled by the Intelligent LEX Platform acts like a playmaker controlling the rhythm of a football match, remaining rock-steady during high-speed cruising and composed in stop-and-go urban traffic.

LEPAS said the full-range advanced intelligent parking system performs like a precision assist on the pitch, accurately identifying parking spaces, navigating around obstacles and effortlessly handling challenging parking scenarios such as narrow spaces and complex garages. The system autonomously plans parking trajectories and executes smooth manoeuvres, enhancing convenience and safety for drivers.
