Innovation Meets Inclusion: EdHeroes Global Forum 2025 Explore the Human-Centered Future of Education Technology

TRIESEN, Liechtenstein, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As innovation accelerates and technology redefines every corner of modern life, EdHeroes Global Forum 2025 sets its sights on a crucial frontier: ensuring that the future of education is not only digital, but equitable, inclusive, and human-centered.

This year's Forum convenes global leaders, educators, technologists, and activists to address the urgent need for responsible and ethical tech integration in education. Set entirely online with rotating time zones, the Forum is designed for worldwide participation—ensuring no region is left behind.

Under the theme "Innovation and Technology in Education", this Forum examines how digital tools—from artificial intelligence and virtual reality to adaptive learning systems—can empower rather than displace human connection in the classroom. "We are living in a time of great change. Artificial intelligence, digital learning, and global connectivity are opening new doors—but they also bring new challenges," said Alina Baimen, CEO and Co-Founder of EdHeroes. "Technology can be a powerful tool, but only when guided by human values, equity, and responsibility."

Mark Sparvell, Director of Education Marketing at Microsoft, emphasized the importance of pairing AI with humanitarian values: "The greatest potential for technology in education is to humanize learning, not merely digitize the experience." Marni Baker Stein, Chief Content Officer at Coursera, added, "Talent is equally distributed but opportunity is not. Online learning must bridge that gap. Every learner everywhere deserves access to the skills and opportunities they need to thrive."

Key priorities of this year's Forum include:

• Digital Inclusion: Expanding access to digital learning tools for marginalized communities.
• Ethical Tech: Tackling issues like AI bias, data privacy, and responsible innovation.
• Human Connection: Leveraging technology to enhance creativity, critical thinking, and personalized learning without replacing educators.
• Driving Innovation: Highlighting scalable, ethical solutions in EdTech that enhance engagement and accessibility.
• Global Collaboration: Sharing scalable, ethical education models from across continents.
• Shaping Policy: Supporting policies that promote secure and inclusive digital education systems.

Innovation Meets Inclusion: EdHeroes Global Forum 2025 Explore the Human-Centered Future of Education Technology

GUANGZHOU, China, Jan. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, GAC's independently developed Quark E-Drive power domain control system has achieved the world's first dual certification for deeply integrated ASIL D functional safety and information security, accredited by DAkkS, Germany's national accreditation body. The certification was evaluated and issued by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd. (SGS), a globally recognized certification authority.

ISO 26262 is the internationally recognized core standard for automotive functional safety. Within this framework, ASIL D represents the highest automotive safety integrity level, requiring near-zero tolerance for safety-critical failures. Achieving an ASIL D certification accredited by DAkkS signifies that the certified product meets the highest globally accepted standards for automotive safety.

The certified Quark E-Drive power domain control system has been in production use since February 2025, and is now deployed across multiple models under GAC's brands - HYPTEC and AION. As the industry's first electric drive power domain system based on deep integration using a single main control chip, the solution significantly reduces chip count, minimizes risks associated with chip-level failures, and boosts motor controller efficiency to as high as 99.9%. The certification confirms that GAC has completed the system's full product development lifecycle in strict compliance with ISO 26262:2018 functional safety and ISO/SAE 21434:2021 information security standards.

Throughout the project, GAC Technology Research Center worked closely with SGS experts, strengthening safety design across all development phases while ensuring engineering feasibility and an optimal user experience.

Zhao Hui, Vice President of SGS China, commented: "The successful certification highlights GAC's strong team and robust development systems. We are pleased to support the safety of the Quark E-Drive and look forward to closer collaboration."

This milestone represents a major breakthrough for GAC in e-drive safety and sets a new global benchmark for the intelligent electric vehicle industry.
