BERLIN, Sept. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Midea, a global leader in innovative home and lifestyle solutions, proudly announced a major achievement at IFA 2025: earning four authoritative VDE certifications from one of Europe's most respected independent testing and certification organizations. This milestone underscores Midea's commitment to helping consumers "Master Your Home" with appliances engineered for energy efficiency, reliability, and healthier living.
The certifications recognize Midea's breakthroughs in energy efficiency, reliability, healthy cooking, and convenience, setting a new benchmark for smart home innovation.
Energy Efficiency: Certified Class A Performance, Reduced Consumption
Green and environmental protection are central to Midea's strategy and social responsibility. By developing high-reflectivity coatings, a graphene heating element, and an AI temperature control algorithm, Midea boosts efficiency by 25% and reduces large-oven energy consumption by 50%, fully meeting the new Class A energy efficiency standards.
Reliability & Durability: 10-Year Magnetron Lifespan
The magnetron, the heart of a microwave oven, is crucial to its longevity. Midea's TU1 anodes, with over 99.9% copper and oxygen below 5.4x10-5Pa, enhance conductivity and heating stability. Combined with pioneering multi-channel methane carbonization, which boosts efficiency and reduces cathode depletion, these innovations double the magnetron's lifespan to an industry-leading 10 years, ensuring reliable, safe, and durable everyday performance.
Healthy Cooking: Low-Fat Cooking Algorithm
Healthy cooking is a timeless focus for humanity. Midea discovered that high-speed, high-temperature cooking helps break down fat in meat and developed a graphene heating element capable of reaching 1300°C in just 0.2 seconds. Building on this, Midea's unique cooking mode combines graphene heating with high-temperature steam at precise stages, reducing fat content by 60% while ensuring efficient, healthy, and high-quality cooking.
Fast & Convenient: Ultra-Fast Defrost Technology
Conventional microwave defrosting is slow and time-consuming. Midea discovered that the dielectric constant of meat changes rapidly with temperature and developed adaptive power defrosting technology to address this. The Ultra-Fast Defrosting Algorithm reduces thawing time by up to 40% while ensuring even, consistent results, making daily meal preparation faster, safer, and more convenient for users.
Raising the Bar for Smart Home Innovation
With these four VDE certifications, Midea reinforces its leadership in next-generation smart appliances. By combining scientific innovation with proven safety and performance, Midea delivers trusted solutions that redefine efficiency, durability, health, and convenience in the smart home era.

Midea Secures Four Prestigious VDE Certifications at IFA 2025: Redefining Smart Home Standards
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BizCard, an AI-powered digital business card platform designed for distraction-free, in-person networking, announced that during its recent Product Hunt debut, it was ranked #2 Product of the Week for the first week of January 2026, and #1 Product of the Day on Dec. 29, 2025.
The recognition reflects a broader shift among professionals toward networking tools that prioritize presence, particularly for real-world environments such as conferences, trade shows, and professional meetups.
BizCard combines a physical, E-ink business card with AI-driven profile management, voice-based AI assistance, and intelligent note-taking—allowing professionals to exchange information naturally in person, without phones, QR codes, or app switching.
Rethinking Networking in a Phone-First World
Each year, more than 32,000 expos take place globally, attracting over 60 million unique attendees. Yet despite the scale of in-person events, networking experiences have become increasingly fragmented. Traditional paper business cards are static, wasteful, and difficult to manage. QR-code-based exchanges require participants to unlock phones, navigate apps, and momentarily disengage from face-to-face conversations.
As AI tools become more powerful, in-person interactions have quietly become more distracted.
BizCard was created to address this tension by enabling information exchange without interrupting human presence.
A Distraction-Free Offline Networking Tool
At the core of BizCard's offline experience is a distraction-free E-ink business card, paired with optional NFC-enabled accessories such as wristbands. With a simple tap, users can share their professional profile, links, and notes without unlocking a phone or breaking eye contact.
Profiles can be updated digitally and customized for different events, industries, or audiences, eliminating the need for reprints while keeping the physical interaction intentional and focused.
AI That Works After the Conversation
While BizCard emphasizes screen-free experience at the moment, its platform is powered by AI designed to enhance communication efficiency after the exchange.
After each interaction, BizCard's AI can automatically organize contacts, capture structured conversation notes, generate summaries and reminders, and support personalized follow-up workflows, including voice-based assistance.
By shifting AI-driven capabilities to after the conversation, BizCard allows professionals to stay present during interactions while reducing the administrative burden that typically follows events.
"As AI and automation accelerate, the real challenge is not adding more technology to human interactions, but knowing when to remove it," said Jack Kam, Co-Founder of BizCard. "BizCard is designed to keep in-person moments human, while letting AI handle the work that happens after the conversation."
During its Product Hunt launch, BizCard engaged actively with the global maker and professional community, answering questions about hardware design, product philosophy, and real-world usage at live events.
Early feedback highlighted strong interest from professionals who are seeking more present, human-centered ways to network and follow up meaningfully after in-person interactions.
