HONG KONG and HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- i2Cool, a pioneer in electricity-free cooling technology, has officially launched its 4th anniversary global tour under the theme "4ward Thinking, 4ward Cooling", with Vietnam as the first stop. The multi-city initiative highlights the company's latest technological developments, expanding global partnerships, and real-world applications across both commercial and community settings.
Originating from the City University of Hong Kong under the HK Tech 300 programme in 2021, i2Cool has developed a material-based passive cooling solution inspired by the Saharan silver ant. By combining high solar reflectivity and mid-infrared emissivity, the technology enables surface cooling without electricity consumption or refrigerants.
To date, i2Cool's solutions have been deployed in more than 500 projects across nearly 30 countries and regions, supporting energy efficiency and carbon reduction in sectors including construction, industry, logistics, and agriculture.
Three-City Programme in Vietnam Marks First Phase of Global Roadshow
The Vietnam programme, organized in collaboration with local partner APOLLO, spans three cities—Haiphong, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City—offering a comprehensive engagement from industry dialogue to real-world application.
Haiphong: Industry Salon and Technology Exchange
The tour officially commenced on March 24 in Haiphong with a 4th anniversary salon and investment exchange session held at Taiyo Building.
During the session, i2Cool Co-founder and CEO, Pro.Martin Zhu, presented the scientific foundation of electricity-free cooling technology, including its biomimetic origins and material-based heat management mechanism. He also shared application cases across building rooftops, glass façades, photovoltaic systems, and cold-chain logistics, demonstrating measurable temperature reduction and energy-saving potential.
A key highlight of the event was the introduction of i2Cool's electricity-free cooling nano-particle. Unlike conventional coatings or films, i2nano-particle can be integrated into plastics, rubber, and textile materials, enabling passive cooling at the material level. The launch prompted discussions among local stakeholders on potential localization and industrial applications in Vietnam.
Representatives from APOLLO noted that Vietnam's tropical climate and rapid urbanization are driving increasing demand for energy-efficient cooling solutions, particularly in construction, industrial storage, and logistics sectors.
Hanoi: Industry Engagement at VIETBUILD 2026
Following Haiphong, i2Cool participated in VIETBUILD 2026, held from March 26 to 30 at the Vietnam Exhibition Center (VEC) in Hanoi.
At Booth H1-061, i2Cool and APOLLO jointly showcased a full range of electricity-free cooling solutions, including coatings, films, membranes, and textile applications. The booth attracted developers, contractors, and engineers, with on-site consultations addressing localized challenges such as high humidity and solar heat gain.
The exhibition provided a platform for in-depth exchange on how passive cooling materials can be adapted to tropical climates, supporting both energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
Ho Chi Minh City: Community Deployment in Real-World Conditions
The Vietnam programme concluded with a community initiative in Ho Chi Minh City, where i2Cool implemented its electricity-free cooling coating at an elderly care facility in Tu Hanh Buddhist Temple.
Unlike controlled demonstration settings, the application was carried out in an actively used environment. Within a single morning, the team completed on-site coating using a multi-layer system, covering areas exposed to prolonged sunlight and poor ventilation.
The project addressed a common challenge in such facilities: uneven cooling coverage and high operational costs associated with air conditioning. By reducing heat gain at the building surface, the solution helps improve indoor thermal conditions while lowering reliance on continuous energy consumption.
The initiative also included collaboration with local volunteers and partners, ensuring smooth implementation and laying the foundation for post-application monitoring and feedback.
Global Roadmap and Market Outlook
The Vietnam tour marks the beginning of i2Cool's broader anniversary programme, with upcoming stops planned in Thailand, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.
In addition to product demonstrations, the tour introduces global partnership frameworks, distribution opportunities, and insights into material-based cooling technologies under different climate conditions.
According to industry analysis by QYResearch, the global passive cooling market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate exceeding 26%, driven by rising demand for energy-efficient cooling solutions.

The Korean skincare brand debuts a global campaign, built around the PDRN Collagen Glow Facial Serum Spray
LOS ANGELES, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Anua, the Korean skincare brand that has taken U.S. beauty retail by storm, today announces Kendall Jenner as its first global brand ambassador. Alongside the announcement, Anua is launching a worldwide campaign centered on its PDRN Collagen Glow Facial Serum Spray featuring Jenner.
The timing reflects how far Anua has come in the American market. In 2024, the brand was named TikTok Shop's #1 Beauty Brand, achieving the top single-brand revenue on TikTok Shop U.S., and earned Amazon Top Brand recognition for sales performance across the platform in both 2024 and 2025. During Amazon Prime Day U.S. in July 2024, Anua ranked #1 in its category, with sales increasing 537% year over year. By 2025, the brand had surpassed $500 million in global revenue, with the U.S. as its largest market, and had sold more than 40 million units worldwide across 160 countries. Today, Anua is sold in more than 20,000 retail doors across the U.S., underscoring its rapid expansion from digital discovery to nationwide retail presence.
Jenner has been open about her straightforward, consistent skincare routines. That mindset aligns closely with how Anua approaches skincare: formulations that are gentle on the skin barrier, ingredient-focused, and built for real results. The campaign brings that connection to life through the PDRN Spray that is part of her daily routine.
"I first discovered the double cleanser, and it has changed my skin. I also love their Azelaic green serum and PDRN which gives me a dewy glow. I am big fan of the products," said Kendall Jenner.
PDRN Collagen Glow Facial Serum Spray, a capsule mist formulated with 2,000ppm of PDRN (Salmon DNA) and Hyaluronic Acid. The spray delivers immediate hydration and a dewy, glass-skin finish without residue or heaviness. An ultra-fine oil-capsule mist, it absorbs quickly, works over or under makeup, and has been clinically shown to improve skin hydration by 30.754% while temporarily reducing skin surface temperature. Suitable for all skin types and non-comedogenic, it was designed for everyday use in any setting.
Launching June 1, 2026 across global digital and social platforms, the campaign gives audiences a look at how Jenner uses the spray in her daily routine, from morning prep through travel and on-set touch-ups. Content will run across Anua's channels and Jenner's platforms as part of a multi-year partnership that includes global campaigns and product launches.
"We are thrilled to partner with Kendall Jenner, a true global icon. Her minimalist and intuitive lifestyle seamlessly aligns with Anua's 'trend meets trust' philosophy, and we look forward to sharing this shared vision with a wider global audience," said Yi Seonhyeong, CEO of The Founders, Inc.
To celebrate the launch, Anua will bring "Dew On The Go" to life with an immersive pop-up experience in New York City's Soho neighborhood. Located at 21 Greene Street offering public access from June 6–7. Inspired by the ease and romance of a European summer escape, the pop-up will invite guests to discover the products and brand Kendall uses to achieve her dewy skin. Guests will experience Anua through a series of sensorial, photo-worthy touchpoints, including a mist reception, product discovery moments, a photo booth, a "Dew Fountain," a Dew Café, and a gift shop experience.
