2025년 매출 479% 성장… AI 전문 기업, 대기업 포함 수백개 고객사와 계약 체결하고 초고속 성장궤도 진입
싱가포르 – EQS Newswire – 2026년 3월 13일 – 인공지능(AI) 클라우드 기업 네비우스(Nebius) (나스닥: NBIS)가 13일 전 세계적인 AI 전용 인프라 수요 급증에 대응하기 위해 아시아-태평양 지역에서 사업을 확장한다고 발표했다.
회사는 아태 및 일본 지역의 사업 성장을 이끌 총괄 매니저로 존 하러(John Haarer)를 선임했다.
하러 신임 총괄 매니저는 싱가포르에 주재하며 마크 보로디츠키(Marc Boroditsky) 최고매출책임자(CRO)에게 직보하게 된다. 그는 싱가포르, 일본, 한국, 인도 등 주요 시장을 중심으로 회사의 지역 내 사업 확장을 총괄할 예정이다. 하러는 클라우드플레어(Cloudflare), 트윌리오(Twilio)를 포함한 글로벌 기술 선도 기업에서 10년 이상 아태 시장 진출 전략을 주도한 경험을 보유하고 있다.
마크 보로디츠키 네비우스 CRO는”네비우스는 지난 1년간 아시아 시장에 첫 발을 내딛고 초기 고객을 확보하며 지역 확장을 위한 기반을 마련했다”며 “하러와 같은 리더를 영입한 것은 이러한 회사의 의지를 한층 공고히 하는 의미가 있다”고 밝혔다. 이어 “하러는 아태 지역에서 주요 기술 기업들의 성장을 이끌어온 경험을 갖추고 있으며 지역 내 모든 주요 시장에서 AI 전용 인프라 수요가 급증하는 중요한 시점에 합류하게 됐다”고 강조했다.
존 하러(John Haarer) 신임 매니저는 “아시아는 세계에서 가장 역동적인 AI 시장 중 하나이며 네비우스는 차세대 AI 혁신을 주도하는 클라우드 플랫폼”이라고 평했다. 그는 “중대한 사업 전환기에 세계 최고 수준의 엔지니어들이 포진한 기업에 합류하게 돼 대단히 기쁘다”며 “아시아 사업을 확대하는 과정에서 파트너사와 고객, 각국 정부가 AI 도입 과정의 병목을 해결하고 AI의 잠재력을 실질적인 경제적 가치로 전환하도록 지원하고자 한다”고 밝혔다.
네비우스는 전 세계에서 가장 빠르게 성장하는 AI 클라우드 기업 중 하나로, 2025년 기준 전년 대비 479%의 매출 성장률을 기록했으며, 200억달러 이상의 계약 잔고를 보유하고 있다. 여기에는 마이크로소프트(Microsoft), 메타(Meta)와 체결한 다년간의 AI 인프라 계약도 포함된다. 네비우스는 37억달러의 현금을 보유하고 있으며, 2026년 말까지 연환산 매출 70억~90억달러를 목표로 하고 있다. 이번 인사는 네비우스가 아태 지역에서 초기 시장 진입 단계를 넘어 본격적인 상업 확장 단계로 전환하고 있음을 의미한다.

SHENZHEN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 March 2026 – OPPO, a leading global smart device brand, is deepening its collaboration with Google Cloud to reimagine AI-powered productivity on its upcoming Find N6 foldable flagship with the new OPPO AI Pen.
Kai Tang, President of Software Engineering at OPPO, said: “OPPO’s close collaboration with partners like Google Cloud enables us to bring the latest and most advanced AI experiences to our users. Featuring powerful AI capabilities, we have evolved the traditional stylus into the innovative OPPO AI Pen, marking a significant leap in efficiency for the foldable smartphone experience.”
AI Chart and AI Image: Next-Level Productivity with OPPO AI Pen
The upcoming Find N6 will launch together with the OPPO AI Pen, featuring exclusive AI Chart and AI Image functions built with Google Cloud’s cutting-edge AI capabilities.
While taking notes or sketching ideas with a stylus helps capture inspiration quickly, translating handwritten drafts into polished, professional formats has always been a challenge. With AI Chart built with Gemini Pro, users can press the dedicated side button on the OPPO AI Pen and simply circle their handwritten notes to instantly generate a clean, editable digital table, allowing for faster information organization in meetings, planning sessions, and daily work.
Beyond text and charts, the AI Image feature is built with Nano Banana, and further expands creative possibilities by transforming simple doodles into refined artwork. Users can even provide specific text prompts to guide the AI, reimagining their drawings in any style, from classic oil painting textures to modern digital art.
Enhanced Cross-Ecosystem Sharing

As Gulf cities hardwire sustainability into daily life, VinFast is shaping an electric lifestyle that feels like a smart, seamless routine, with its climate-ready design, long-term warranty confidence and software-driven convenience woven into everyday driving.
DUBAI, UAE – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 March 2026 – Over the past five years, GCC countries have made EV adoption a clear priority. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 strategy and Qatar’s National Vision 2030 have moved from policy language to pavement. Master-planned districts in Riyadh are wired for electric charging from day one. Residential towers in Dubai and Abu Dhabi market EV-ready parking as a premium amenity. In Doha and Manama, public chargers now stand in mall basements and along waterfront boulevards, quietly normalizing a different way to refuel.
With that, a new lifestyle is taking shape. The clearest sign is how refueling is moving into the home, often happening quietly overnight. In the not-so-distant future, some drivers may struggle to recall the last time they stood beside a pump in the heat, watching the numbers climb under fluorescent lights.
Into this transition steps VinFast, a young global brand intent on making those new habits stick. Its focus is to make the interactions around them feel at least as convenient as traditional ownership, if not more so. In other words, to make EV living workable at scale, for everyone.
The VF 8 sits at the center of that effort. Fine-tuned for Gulf conditions, it pairs vegan leather seating with ventilation and heating functions suited to dramatic seasonal swings. Dual-zone climate control integrates air-quality management and ionization, a practical feature in cities where dust storms are not rare events. The cabin is anchored by a large 15.6-inch infotainment display, sized generously enough that drivers are not left squinting at navigation prompts or climate settings mid-traffic.
More subtly, the VF 8 encourages new expectations around what a car should do. Over-the-air update capability allows the vehicle’s software to improve over time. Driver profiles synchronize settings and climate preferences, useful in households where one vehicle rotates between work commutes, school runs and weekend trips. Smart modes such as pet mode and camp mode extend the car’s role beyond transport, accommodating both urban density and the region’s fondness for desert getaways.
VinFast has also worked to address the psychological side of the green transition. An expectation-surpassing element of the VinFast ownership experience is its warranty package: a 10-year or 200,000-kilometer vehicle warranty, a 10-year unlimited battery warranty and five years of free maintenance up to 100,000 kilometers, all structured to make durability and cost predictability part of the standard equation rather than an added extra. A recently signed Memorandum of Understanding with PlusX Electric in the UAE focuses on portable charging pods, on-demand mobile charging and emergency roadside support.
Taken together, these elements frame sustainability as simply another way of moving through the world, rather than an act of sacrifice, and arguably a more efficient one at that. Fewer service visits. Predictable maintenance costs. Charging woven into the domestic routine.
Across the Gulf, greener living is unfolding in just that manner. The progress can be gradual, almost mundane, yet it is unmistakably forward. VinFast’s role is to ensure that when a driver chooses electric mobility, the surrounding experience feels stable, supported and suited to regional realities.
