Axi gewinnt zwei Finance Magnates 2025 Awards

SYDNEY, Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Axi, ein führender Anbieter im Bereich Online–CFD– und Devisenhandel, hat bekannt gegeben, dass das Unternehmen bei den Finance Magnates Awards 2025 in Limassol, Zypern, mit zwei renommierten Auszeichnungen* geehrt wurde. Die Marke Axi wurde als „Innovativster Broker“ ausgezeichnet, während AxiPrime, der institutionelle Liquiditätsanbieter des Unternehmens, den Titel als „Bester Ausführungsbroker” erhielt.

Hannah Hill, Leiterin der Abteilung für Marken und Sponsoring bei Axi, zeigte sich erfreut über die doppelte Auszeichnung: „Diese Awards unterstreichen unser kontinuierliches Streben nach Exzellenz. Unseren Kunden und Partnern einen echten Wettbewerbsvorteil zu verschaffen und Innovation in jedem Bereich unseres Handelns voranzutreiben, ist fester Bestandteil unseres Selbstverständnisses. Innovation ist nicht nur Teil unserer Strategie – sie treibt unseren Erfolg maßgeblich an. Umso mehr freut es uns, dass Finance Magnates dieses Engagement mit gleich zwei Auszeichnungen honoriert hat.“

Kraig Noble, Leiter Handel (EMEA), schließt sich dieser Einschätzung an und erklärt: „Wir sind äußerst stolz darauf, dass Axi bei den Finance Magnates Awards 2025 den Preis ‚Bester Ausführungsbroker‘ für AxiPrime erhalten hat. Die Auszeichnung bestätigt, dass Präzision, Zuverlässigkeit und Transparenz zentrale Merkmale unserer Liquiditätslösungen sind.

Das 2007 gegründete Handelsunternehmen mit Sitz in Australien hat sich von einem Zwei–Personen–Startup zu einer angesehenen globalen Unternehmensgruppe entwickelt, die heute mehr als 400 Mitarbeitende aus über 45 Nationen in neun Niederlassungen weltweit umfasst.

Die jüngste Auszeichnung reiht sich in mehrere bemerkenswerte Erfolge ein: Im Oktober wurde Axi auf der Money Expo Dubai 2025 mit dem Preis „Beste Handelserfahrung“* geehrt. Zudem erhielt der Broker bei den Global Forex Awards 2025 die Auszeichnungen als „Bester Broker (MENA)“, „Bester Broker (LatAm)“ und „Zuverlässigster Broker (Asien)“.

Dieses umfassende Programm soll Unternehmen dabei helfen, die Chancen der KI–Revolution effektiv zu nutzen. Das KI–Reifegrad–Framework des Unternehmens bietet gezielte Schulungslösungen, die auf die spezifischen Anforderungen von Unternehmen zugeschnitten sind.

Das neue modulare Programm basiert auf einem bahnbrechenden dreistufigen KI–Reifegrad–Framework, das Unternehmen in jeder Phase der KI–Integration unterstützt: KI–Bereitschaft, KI–Befähigung und KI–Einführung.

  • KI–Bereitschaft vermittelt Grundkenntnisse und Sicherheit im Umgang mit KI–Konzepten.
  • KI–Befähigung bezieht sich auf die direkte Anwendung von KI–Tools und –Praktiken im Arbeitsalltag, unterstützt durch ein modulares Programmdesign, das sich über alle Geschäftsbereiche erstreckt.
  • KI–Einführung stellt sicher, dass KI in großem Maßstab implementiert wird und zu einem vertrauenswürdigen und integrierten Bestandteil von Systemen, Arbeitsabläufen und Entscheidungsprozessen wird.

Die KI–Workforce–Lösungen von Learning Tree gehen über IT– und Data–Science–Teams hinaus und richten sich auch an Geschäftsanwender, Projektmanager, Personalverantwortliche, Finanzexperten und Führungskräfte, die sich bei ihren täglichen Entscheidungen zunehmend auf KI verlassen. Das Programm schlägt eine Brücke zwischen technischem Know–how und strategischen Geschäftsaufgaben, um sicherzustellen, dass KI–Potenziale im gesamten Unternehmen ausgeschöpft werden. Es verbindet fachliche Kompetenzen mit strategischen Geschäftsanforderungen, damit KI im ganzen Unternehmen messbare Ergebnisse liefert.

Die Inhalte des Programms orientieren sich an Anwendungsfällen aus der Praxis, z. B. Automatisierung des Kundenservice, Optimierung der Personalarbeit, Verbesserung der Datenanalyse, Lieferkettenmanagement, Compliance–Überwachung und Personalisierung des Marketings. Das Training umfasst auch gängige KI–Plattformen und –Tools wie Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT von OpenAI und Google Gemini und bereitet die Lernenden darauf vor, diese Lösungen effektiv am Arbeitsplatz einzusetzen.

Learning Tree International lance des solutions complètes de formation professionnelle à l’IA (AI Workforce Solutions) afin de permettre aux entreprises et aux agences gouvernementales de tirer pleinement parti des avantages de l’IA à l’ère numérique

HERNDON, Virginie, 12 déc. 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Learning Tree International, l’un des principaux fournisseurs de solutions de formation technologique, annonce aujourd’hui le lancement de ses solutions de formation professionnelle à l’IA (AI Workforce Solutions), un programme complet conçu pour accompagner efficacement les entreprises dans leur transition vers l’intelligence artificielle (IA).

Le nouveau programme modulaire s’articule autour d’un cadre de maturité de l’IA novateur à trois niveaux qui accompagne les entreprises à chaque étape de l’intégration de l’IA : préparation à l’IA (AI Readiness), activation de l’IA (AI Enablement) et adoption de l’IA (AI Adoption).

  • La préparation à l’IA (AI Readiness) permet d’acquérir des connaissances de base et de se familiariser avec les concepts liés à l’IA.
  • L’activation de l’IA (AI Enablement) met l’accent sur l’application directe des outils et des pratiques de l’IA dans le travail quotidien, grâce à une conception modulaire du programme qui s’adapte à toutes les unités commerciales.
  • L’adoption de l’IA (AI Adoption) veille à ce que l’IA soit intégrée à grande échelle, et devienne ainsi un élément fiable et intégré aux systèmes, aux flux de travail et à la prise de décision.

« En tant que leader dans le domaine des solutions de formation professionnelle, Learning Tree aide les entreprises à transformer la disruption liée à l’IA en une véritable opportunité », déclare David Brown, PDG de Learning Tree International. « L’intelligence artificielle redéfinit notre façon d’apprendre, de travailler et de diriger, et l’avenir appartient à ceux qui préparent dès aujourd’hui leurs collaborateurs. Notre mission consiste à former des effectifs prêts pour l’IA, capables de stimuler l’innovation, la résilience et la croissance durable. »

Les solutions de formation professionnelle à l’IA (AI Workforce Solutions) de Learning Tree s’adressent non seulement aux équipes informatiques et scientifiques spécialisées dans les données, mais aussi aux utilisateurs professionnels, chefs de projet, responsables des ressources humaines, professionnels de la finance et cadres dirigeants qui s’appuient de plus en plus sur l’IA dans leurs prises de décision quotidiennes. Le programme est conçu pour faire le lien entre l’expertise technique et les rôles stratégiques au sein de l’entreprise afin de garantir que la valeur de l’IA soit pleinement exploitée à tous les niveaux de l’organisation. Le programme fait le lien entre les compétences techniques et les besoins stratégiques des entreprises, permettant ainsi à l’IA de produire un impact mesurable à l’échelle de l’entreprise.

Le contenu du programme s’adapte à des cas d’utilisation concrets, tels que l’automatisation du service client, l’optimisation des ressources humaines, l’amélioration de l’analyse des données, la gestion de la chaîne d’approvisionnement, le contrôle de la conformité et la personnalisation du marketing. La formation aborde également les plateformes et outils d’IA largement adoptés, notamment Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT d’OpenAI et Google Gemini, préparant ainsi les apprenants à utiliser efficacement ces solutions dans le contexte professionnel.

Conscient du rôle stratégique joué par le leadership dans la transformation numérique, Learning Tree a mis en place un programme de leadership en matière d’IA afin de préparer les cadres et les dirigeants à guider leur organisation de manière responsable dans l’adoption de l’IA. En outre, Learning Tree continue également de renforcer son portefeuille de formations à la conformité avec de nouvelles offres telles que le cours d’audit de conformité CMMC et les certifications AAIA (Advanced Audit in AI) et AAISM (Advanced AI in Security Management) afin de répondre à l’évolution des normes réglementaires et de cybersécurité.

Axi Wins Two Finance Magnates 2025 Awards

SYDNEY, Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Axi, a leading provider of online CFD and FX trading services, announced that it has been recognised with two prestigious accolades* at the Finance Magnates Awards 2025 held in Limassol, Cyprus. The brand received the ‘Most Innovative Broker’ award for the Axi brand, and the ‘Best Execution Broker’ for Axi’s institutional liquidity provider AxiPrime.

Hannah Hill, Head of Brand and Sponsorship at Axi, shared her excitement for the brand’s dual recognition: “These awards are a reflection of our continuous pursuit of excellence. Providing our clients and partners with a competitive edge and driving innovation in everything we do are deeply embedded in our core. Innovation isn’t just part of our strategy – it’s what drives our success, and we’re very proud to see our commitment recognised by Finance Magnates with not one, but two awards.”

Kraig Noble, Head of Trading (EMEA), shares a similar sentiment, noting: “We’re incredibly proud to see Axi win the ‘Best Execution Broker’ for AxiPrime at the Finance Magnates Awards 2025. This award is a testament to the precision, reliability, and transparency that define our liquidity solutions. At AxiPrime, we’ve always aimed to deliver institutional–grade execution that gives our partners a true competitive edge – and this recognition reinforces our commitment to innovation, excellence, and trust in every trade.”

Axi: Crypto as a Strategic Portfolio Component for Traders & Investors in 2026

SYDNEY, Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As global financial markets evolve, Axi is making the case that cryptocurrencies — accessed through its platform and expanding lineup of crypto perpetual futures (“perps”) — deserve a meaningful place in diversified portfolio planning for 2026. Crypto trading has increasingly shifted toward derivatives, with perpetual futures now forming the core of digital asset activity worldwide. Recent data indicates that perpetual futures account for roughly 68% of all Bitcoin trading volume and about 76% of total global crypto derivatives volume in 2025, highlighting their continued growth and influence.

In parallel with this shift, Axi has expanded its lineup to include more than 150 perpetual futures contracts across major and emerging tokens, giving traders deep exposure within a regulated, single–platform environment. With derivatives dominating global crypto markets, Axi’s platform provides the liquidity, accessibility, and flexibility modern traders expect — including 24/7 market access and the ability to employ leverage in a controlled and regulated setting. This mirrors the versatility of traditional financial instruments while offering exposure to the rapidly developing digital asset landscape.

The rise in institutional participation underscores this evolution: as of 2025, institutions reportedly account for approximately 42% of all crypto derivatives trading volume, signalling growing institutional confidence in crypto markets beyond pure retail speculation. “With perps driving most crypto activity, we’re broadening our offerings to meet traders where the market is going,” said Stuart Cooke, Head of New Business at Axi. “Our goal is to bring everything into one trusted ecosystem — perps, copy trading, mobile apps, and institutional–grade support.” Looking ahead to 2026, the mainstream status of crypto derivatives highlights a pivotal moment for investors evaluating diversified strategies.

Looking ahead to 2026, the mainstream status of crypto derivatives highlights a pivotal moment for investors evaluating diversified strategies. The dominance of derivatives over spot trading in 2025 points to the rapidly maturing market environment, while traders and investors — from speculative participants to those hedging or seeking thematic exposure — increasingly require flexible, advanced tools. Axi’s infrastructure and broad contract range are built to support these evolving needs. The availability of perpetual contracts through a valued broker offers expanded flexibility, robust risk–management potential, and round–the–clock access, acknowledging both the opportunities and inherent risks of digital asset derivatives.

About Axi 
Axi is a multi–asset broker offering access to forex, commodities, indices, and increasingly — crypto markets via regulated derivatives and spot adjacent instruments. Its expanded crypto perpetual offering is designed to meet demand from both professional and retail clients seeking regulated, versatile, and globally accessible trading options.

Sindh People’s Housing Redefines Post-Disaster Adaptation Success

By Cecilia Russell
BELÉM, Brazil, Dec 12 2025 – By any comparison, the statistics for Sindh People’s Housing for Flood Affectees (SPHF) are phenomenal.

In 2022, photographs from the region showed people treading carefully through waist-deep water with their few belongings grasped firmly above their heads in an attempt to escape the flooding caused by 784 percent more than average monsoon rains.

Tents housed tens of thousands of families as they contemplated an uncertain future, with estimates of 15 million people displaced and more than 1,700 dead.

That’s where the story ends for many international survivors of floods and other climate-related disasters. They need to pick up the pieces themselves. The financing for adaptation and loss and damage is still “running on empty.”

And if there was to be clarity at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, the so-called ‘adaptation COP,’ countries that arrived with clear objectives of leaving the negotiations with a roadmap for adaptation that included grant-based adaptation finance and increased support left disappointed.

The final Mutirão Decision calls for efforts to triple adaptation finance by 2035 (compared to 2025 levels). While this reaffirms the previous Glasgow goal of doubling it by 2025, the new goal was a compromise because the deadline was pushed from 2030 to 2035.

Amy Giliam Thorp, writing for Africa-based think tank Power Shift Africa, summed up the opinion of many analysts who say, although the final decision refers to “efforts to at least triple adaptation finance,” the language is “politically evasive and obscures who is responsible.”

Yet, COP30 provided an opportunity to showcase the best that adaptation finance, albeit as loans and not grant-based, can achieve.

Let’s get back to those statistics.

Speaking at a swelteringly hot and humid Pakistan hall at COP30 Khalid Mehmood Shaikh, CEO of SPHF, reeled off the achievements of the housing project—it is in the process of constructing 2.1 million multi-hazard-resistant houses, directly benefitting over 15 million people—more than the population of 154 countries.

Currently, the construction of 1.45 million houses is underway, with 650,000 already completed and an additional 50,000 each month.

Photos displayed at the COP side event, Women Leading Climate Action in Sindh through SPHF: The World’s Largest Post-Disaster Housing Reconstruction Program, showed women and their families involved in various stages of building their new homes.

The pictures showcased construction methods that the Asian Development Bank (ADB) calls “multi-hazard resilient” architecture—high plinths to prevent floodwaters from entering homes, as well as windows and ventilation systems that improve air flow and reduce temperatures during heatwaves; the region sometimes experiences temperatures exceeding 45 °C. Additionally, there is a transition from kutcha, which uses natural local materials like mud, straw, and bamboo, to pucca, constructed with modern materials such as brick, cement, steel, and concrete.

Completed homes, colorfully decorated, stand as testimony to a project that creates both shelter and dignity.

The programme, fully managed by the private sector, began with a USD 500 million loan from the World Bank and PKR 50 billion (more than USD 178 million) from the Government of Sindh.

While this wasn’t enough to build the required 2.1 million houses, with a “robust system” of delivery with partners EY, KPMG, and PwC, and utilizing technology for monitoring, the SPHF was able to mobilize a further USD 2 billion from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), and additional support from the World Bank.

Apart from the loans, the project has benefitted women and those considered to be ‘unbanked,’ with 1.5 million bank accounts opened.

One of the achievements they list is the “largest residential asset transfer in the history of Pakistan,” benefitting women.

“About 800,000 women are direct beneficiaries, while the land title for each house is being awarded in women’s names—the largest residential asset transfer in the history of Pakistan,” Shaikh said. “This ensures that those most vulnerable to climate change, including women-headed households, widows, and elderly women, gain long-term security and financial inclusion, embedding justice and resilience into the recovery process.”

The manager of the Climate Change & Environment Division at the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), Daouda Ben Oumar Ndiaye, said the project reflected the bank’s focus on gender integration, especially for women, widows, and the elderly.

“The scale and transparency of SPHF set a new benchmark for climate adaptation projects worldwide. We are creating synergies in Pakistan, particularly in Sindh, with integrated health and women empowerment projects,” he said.

The director of Climate Change at the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Noelle O’Brien, was impressed by SPHF’s transformative approach—especially as it linked financial inclusion and resilient infrastructure.

“SPHF demonstrates what true resilience in action looks like—placing women at the center of adaptation, finance, and governance. This is the kind of scalable, gender-responsive model the world needs.”

NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec 12 2025 – For women in labour across Kenya, reaching a health facility, finding skilled health workers, and affording care can be a matter of life and death. These challenges are not rare, but daily realities for many families.

Every year on 12 December, the world observes Universal Health Coverage Day, a chance to renew the promise of health for all. But for this promise to be meaningful, it must reach every woman and child, everywhere in Kenya.

Slow Progress in Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health

While Kenya has made gradual gains in maternal, newborn and child health with improved vaccination and increased antenatal care, progress in maternal survival has been painfully slow.

Between 2014 and 2019, the maternal mortality rate dropped by less than two percent, even as investment increased. United Nations data shows that Kenya’s maternal mortality ratio remains one of the highest in East Africa, exceeding those of Ethiopia, Uganda, and Tanzania.

Newborn and child deaths have also declined slightly and are severely constrained by inequities. For example, children born to mothers with only primary education face far higher mortality than those whose mothers have secondary education and beyond.

Persistent inequalities continue to deny children a healthy start in life.

The Urgency of the Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Bill

Kenya’s MNCH services have suffered from fragmented policies, inconsistent county financing, and short-term funding. Devolution has blurred responsibilities between national and county governments, leading to gaps in planning, poor reporting, and weak accountability.

The Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) Bill, 2023, proposed by Sen. Beatrice Akinyi Ogolla, presents a vital opportunity to change this trajectory.

The MNCH Bill seeks to establish a clear legal framework guaranteeing the right to maternal, newborn, and child health services. It obliges both national and county governments to respect, protect, and fulfil these rights through enforceable mechanisms.

At its core, the Bill affirms that every woman and child in Kenya, regardless of location or economic status, deserves timely, affordable, respectful, and high-quality care.

It embeds service delivery in the principles of universal access, equity, dignity, availability of essential services, and continuous quality improvement.

How the MNCH Bill Delivers on the Promise of UHC.

    1. Guarantees the right to the highest attainable health for all mothers and children.
    2. Ensures access to the full continuum of care, including before pregnancy and through childhood
    3. Protects marginalised and hard-to-reach communities, such as people living with disabilities or those unable to pay for health services
    4. Guarantees respectful, dignified and non-discriminatory care, irrespective of identity, such as age, marital status or social background
    5. Strengthens health financing at the county level through mandated country budget allocation for MNCH
    6. Improves service availability through infrastructure and supplies such as ambulances, essential medicine and skilled health workers.
    7. Institutionalizes accountability and reporting, with both the Cabinet Secretary and County Executives mandated to submit annual reports to Parliament and County Assemblies on services, financing, and gaps
    8. Strengthens monitoring, data, and quality assurance through mandated continuous monitoring, maternal and child death surveillance, with enforcement of quality standards.

The MNCH Bill is more than a piece of legislation; it is a lifeline and a turning point for millions of Kenyan families.

By making essential services enforceable rights, strengthening accountability, and securing sustainable domestic financing, the Bill lays the foundation for people-centred Universal Health Coverage.

Political Will and National Commitment

Political leadership is aligning behind reforms for women and children. President Ruto’s involvement with the Global Leaders Network for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health and his directive for real-time reporting of maternal and child deaths signal a strong executive commitment.

Cabinet Secretary Hon. Aden Duale’s focus on realizing the Social Health Authority and robust county leadership further demonstrates that Kenya is mobilizing on all fronts.

With government officials, communities, civil society, and health workers rallying together, Kenya stands ready to turn these commitments into action.

Call to Action

As the MNCH Bill reaches its final committee stages, now is a critical moment for public involvement. Citizens are encouraged to contact their Members of Parliament to express support for the Bill.

Advocates, experts, donors, and community members must unite and implement strategies to accelerate the reduction of maternal, newborn, and child mortality.

The passage of the MNCH Bill will show that “health for all” is no longer just a slogan, but a binding national pledge.

Hon. Dr James Nyikal is the Chairperson of National Assembly Health Committee; Dr. Margaret Lubaale is the Executive Director of Health NGO Network (HENNET); and Prof Anne-Beatrice Kihara is the immediate former President of International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics.
