MISURATA, Libya, Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Misurata Free Zone (MFZ) signs a landmark public–private partnership to modernize, manage, develop, and expand the Misurata Free Zone Port, Libya's main container gateway and the country's most commercially active maritime hub. This agreement marks the first major Public-Private-Partnership infrastructure project outside Libya's energy sector, signalling a new phase in the country's economic recovery and ability to attract reputable global operators and investors.

Under the terms of the partnership, MFZ will collaborate with Maha Capital Partners (MCP), an international infrastructure investor headquartered in Doha, and Terminal Investment Limited (TIL), the port operator of MSC, the world's largest container shipping line. Together, the partners aim to transform Misurata Port into a modern, efficient, high-capacity facility that strengthens Libya's role in regional and global trade.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Abdulhamid Aldabiba Prime Minister of Libya stated: "This partnership represents an important milestone in Libya's economic recovery and infrastructure modernisation. It demonstrates our commitment to rebuilding strategic assets through structured public–private cooperation and to creating the conditions for sustainable growth, investment, and international confidence."

MFZ Chairman Muhsin M. Sigutri added: "This partnership reflects Misurata's determination to build modern, internationally competitive infrastructure that can unlock new industries, support local employment, and strengthen Libya's position within regional and global supply chains. MFZ was created to be a gateway for investment and growth, today we take a decisive step toward realising that vision."

Established in 2000 as Libya's first and largest free zone, MFZ oversees a 2,576-hectare economic area, with plans to reach 20,000 hectares, and manages the port that handles around 60–65% of all of Libya's container trade.

The partnership includes:

  • Expansion of container-handling capacity to accommodate larger vessels and support complex logistics chains.
  • Integration with MFZ's industrial ecosystem, boosting opportunities for SMEs, manufacturing, and value-added services.
  • Deployment of state-of-the-art terminal equipment and digital systems.
  • Enhanced safety, performance, and environmental standards, aligning operations with world-class benchmarks.
  • Long-term job creation.

The partnership also establishes the foundation for Misurata's evolution into a deep-sea port, a central ambition for Libya's competitiveness in the Mediterranean. This future development forms part of a broader investment programme to be deployed in phases.

These upgrades reinforce Misurata's historic role as one of Libya's most dynamic commercial centres and a symbol of resilience since 2011.

Misurata Free Zone Authority Signs $2.7 billion Landmark PPP to Transform Misurata Free Zone Port into a leading Mediterranean Gateway and Transhipment Hub

BREA, Calif., Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solutions, will participate in Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026 under the theme "Your Partner. Our Solutions." At the show, which takes place in Barcelona, Spain from February 3 to 6, the company will demonstrate how its comprehensive visual solutions support building-wide Pro AV deployments, offering a unified approach to modern visual presentation and team collaboration across reception areas, retail environments, meeting rooms, and large-scale spaces.

"As organizations pursue more consistent and tailored experiences, cohesive display, audio, and control systems have become essential," said Bonny Cheng, COO of ViewSonic. "By rethinking hardware simplicity, software usability, and ecosystem integration, ViewSonic leverages its hardware foundation and software development capabilities to simplify Pro AV deployment and management—empowering installation partners while delivering more efficient, integrated experiences for end users."

With the expansion of Pro AV deployments across entire organizations, complexity has become a growing challenge. To address the challenges of fragmented systems and time-consuming installations, ViewSonic's ISE 2026 booth will feature two primary scenario showcases: Future Large Venue and Future Meeting Room.

Expanding Large-Scale Display Adoption
ViewSonic's Future Large Venue is centered on lowering the barriers to adopting large-format visual technologies by advancing its All-in-One Direct View LED (dvLED) Displays.

  • 295" LED video wall: a dvLED display utilizing Micro LED in Package (MIP) technology to allow visitors to experience improved resolution, color uniformity, and thermal performance compared to Chip on Board (COB) and Glue on Board (GOB) designs.
  • Hands-on zone: an under-the-hood exhibit featuring the LDE Series that reveals its internal cabinet structure and highlights how its slim profile and clean mainboard layout reduce LED installation effort and overall deployment cost. 

Delivering Streamlined Meeting Experiences
The Future Meeting Room exhibit is designed to deliver a simplified and intuitive meeting experience, supporting flexible deployments from huddle spaces to large meeting rooms.

  • Huddle and small spaces: a 75-inch interactive display with a trolley and the new TeamJoin OS, enables intuitive meetings with one-touch access to casting, video conferencing, and whiteboarding, supported by seamless multitasking and enterprise-grade security.
  • Medium to large rooms: the IFP92UW ultrawide interactive display, paired with the Microsoft Teams Rooms-certified TeamJoin™ solutions, provides an expansive collaboration space with one-touch meeting join and instant content sharing. Meanwhile, dual presentation screens from the CDEG3 Series, combined with advanced TeamJoin solutions, enable scalable configurations that support split-task workflows and multi-speaker conferencing.

Offering a Complete Pro AV Ecosystem
Building on its scenario-based showcases, ViewSonic presents a complete Pro AV ecosystem supported by a full range of commercial displays. These displays offer flexible resolution and configuration options, seamless compatibility with professional AV control systems, and centralized, IT-friendly management through ViewSonic Manager. Integrated with industry-leading Pro AV partner technologies, they ensure smooth system synchronization and a stable Audio-Visual over Internet Protocol (AVoIP) infrastructure—underscoring ViewSonic's commitment to delivering reliable, future-ready Pro AV deployments.

Location: Booth 2R350, Hall 2, Fira Barcelona Gran Via, Spain
