SINGAPORE and PATTAYA, Thailand, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- XCL Education ("XCL"), one of Southeast Asia's leading K-12 education platforms, has entered a strategic partnership with Mooltripakdee International School (MIS) in Chonburi, Thailand — marking a decisive entry into the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), one of the region's rapidly developing economic zones.
Founded in 1988, MIS has grown from a Montessori nursery into a respected Cambridge International school delivering the British curriculum to approximately 1,000 students from Early Years through Year 13. Situated near Pattaya in the industrial heart of the Chonburi-Rayong region, it currently ranks among the three largest international schools in the area.
The partnership marks XCL's deliberate expansion into the EEC — one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing industrial and commercial zones — and brings its regional network to approximately 21,000 students across 19 schools in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand. With MIS now alongside XCL American School of Bangkok and D-PREP International School, XCL will offer a diverse portfolio of both Cambridge International and American curricula in Thailand.
"MIS has spent over thirty years building a school with deep roots in its community and a stellar reputation for quality," said Gilles Mahe, Group CEO of XCL Education. "Our goal is to build on that. We bring regional scale and operational depth; MIS brings heritage, trust, and an educator community that genuinely knows its students."
By joining the XCL network MIS faculty will draw on the collective knowledge of 19 schools across four countries — a practical exchange of approaches, best practices and curriculum insight, while staff will gain access to career pathways and mobility across a network that spans four Southeast Asian markets. Underpinning both is XCL's group-wide technology infrastructure.
The integration will be led by Dr. Connie Kim, Head of School at XCL American School of Bangkok, alongside Ms. Kannika Koompairojn, Managing Director of XCL Thailand. Dr. Kim brings 28 years of international education experience spanning the USA, South Korea, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Thailand, across three curriculum frameworks — American, British, and IB.

From immersive alpine experiences to the "12 KuCoin Guardians," the festival presence brings KuCoin's brand philosophy to life by making trust visible for a global music community.
PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust, today announced the launch of its immersive on-site activations for Tomorrowland Winter 2026, marking the first major festival experience under its global partnership with Tomorrowland.
Tomorrowland Winter will take place March 21-28, 2026 in the renowned alpine resort of Alpe d'Huez, welcoming more than 24,000 visitors on average per day for a week-long celebration of electronic music. The festival will feature internationally acclaimed artists including Steve Aoki, Steve Angello, Lost Frequencies, and Dimitri Vegas. With one week to go before the festival opens, KuCoin will bring its "Guided into the Future" campaign to the French Alps through a series of experiences designed to connect music, culture, and digital innovation.
Building on KuCoin's previously announced 2026-2028 global partnership with Tomorrowland, the upcoming activations reflect a deeper alignment between global music culture and the evolving digital asset ecosystem— both rooted in the principles of community, creativity, and trust.
Reflecting on the collaboration, BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, emphasized the shared community spirit behind the partnership. "Trust is the foundation of every thriving community," said BC. "Tomorrowland has built one of the most vibrant global communities through music and creativity. At KuCoin, we believe the future of digital finance should be built on the same principles of openness, collaboration, and trust. Our presence at Tomorrowland Winter reflects our commitment to connecting technology with culture and empowering global communities."
As part of its campaign at Tomorrowland Winter, KuCoin will introduce three immersive festival experiences across the mountain, transforming trust into a visible and shared experience for the global Tomorrowland community.
Follow the Green Glow: The 12 KuCoin Guardians
At the heart of KuCoin's festival presence are the 12 KuCoin Guardians, inspired by Tomorrowland's iconic festival guides.
Composed of six performers and six brass-band musicians, the Guardians will move throughout the festival grounds, energizing crowds and guiding attendees toward KuCoin experiences across the mountain.
In the Tomorrowland universe, Guardians are widely recognized as trusted helpers for festivalgoers. By bringing this role to life through KuCoin-inspired performances, KuCoin transforms the abstract idea of trust into a living presence within the festival community.
Sound on the Slopes: Day Time Mountain Sessions
During the daytime, KuCoin will host its primary alpine activation next to the Frozen Lotus stage at La Folie Douce, one of the most vibrant social hubs on the ski slopes.
Running daily from 12:00 PM to 4:30 PM, the space will feature DJ performances and a lively après-ski atmosphere, creating a natural gathering place for the international Tomorrowland community.
Immersive After Dark: Base Point in the Main Festival Area
In the evening, KuCoin will host the KuCoin Base Point in the Main Festival Area, open from 7:00 PM to midnight throughout the festival.
The experience will feature an immersive installation with dynamic green motion-tracking visuals, creating interactive photo and video moments designed to capture the energy of the festival while bringing KuCoin's brand identity to life.
Over the past two decades, Tomorrowland has grown into one of the world's most influential music festivals, bringing together hundreds of thousands of fans each year while reaching millions more through global broadcasts and digital experiences. Its winter edition in the French Alps blends music, travel, and culture into a unique alpine festival environment that attracts an international community of fans.
By collaborating with a globally recognized cultural platform like Tomorrowland, KuCoin continues expanding its presence beyond the crypto industry-connecting digital innovation with global audiences through shared cultural experiences. Through music, culture, and immersive storytelling, KuCoin's presence at Tomorrowland Winter reflects its broader vision of building a global digital ecosystem where trust connects communities across borders and empowers the future of digital finance.
