DOHA, Qatar, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A global network of cooperative and mutual leaders launched at the World Summit for Social Development – and its first action was to publish a Contract for a New Global Economy.

The Cooperatives and Mutuals Leadership Circle (CM50) is an initiative of the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) bringing together leaders of some of the world’s largest cooperative and mutual enterprises, including Jayen Mehta (Managing Director, Amul, India), Shirine Khoury Haq (CEO, Co-op Group, UK), Howard Brodsky (Co-founder and Chairman, CCA Global Partners, USA), Fabíola da Silva Nader Motta (General Manager, OCB, Brazil) and Rob Wesseling (President and CEO, The Cooperators, Canada).

The launch came as the Doha Summit recognised the cooperative business model as a tool to advance sustainable development, social inclusion and economic resilience.

The Doha Political Declaration highlights the role of cooperatives as leaders of the social and solidarity economy, through encouraging entrepreneurship, creating decent work, and driving social inclusion.

During the event, the ICA and the Committee for the Promotion and Advancement of Cooperatives (COPAC) co-hosted a Solutions Session attended by Heads of State, UN representatives, cooperative and mutual leaders, and international partners.

The session included the closing ceremony of the United Nations 2025 International Year of Cooperatives (IYC2025), celebrating cooperatives’ achievements and contributions to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and the launch of the ICA’s 2026-2030 Strategy.

Ariel Guarco, President of the ICA, said:

“Cooperatives have demonstrated their power to build fairer, more resilient economies and societies. The Doha Political Declaration and the 2025 UN Secretary-General’s report on Cooperatives in Social Development both recognise this unique contribution. As we close IYC2025 in Doha, we look ahead with renewed energy to expand the cooperative footprint as a key accelerator to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.”

The ICA also launched a special edition of the World Cooperative Monitor, highlighting the movement’s social and economic impact. It shows the world’s top 300 cooperatives have a combined turnover of US$2.8 trillion, equivalent to the world’s eighth-largest economy. It also includes interviews with cooperative leaders demonstrating how democratic, people-centred businesses thrive in modern markets.

About the International Cooperative Alliance

Founded in 1895, the ICA works to promote and strengthen cooperative enterprises, guided by the principles of democracy, equality, and shared prosperity.

ŠURANY, Slovakia, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The world is witnessing a new wave of transformation — a revolution that extends far beyond the realm of energy. Slovakia Gotion Gigafactory Milestone Celebration Ceremony of Slovakia’s first electric-vehicle battery plant officially began on October 28 in Šurany. It is redefining how industries evolve, how economies grow, and how humanity envisions its shared future. The transition to clean energy is no longer a regional agenda, but a European imperative shaping the next century of development.

Gotion stands at the forefront in this sweeping shift, advancing a vision of integrated, sustainable growth through technology, manufacturing, and collaboration. From Asia to Europe, the company is building a connected ecosystem that empowers the Europe journey toward a cleaner and smarter energy future. Its new Slovakia Gigafactory marks another crucial step in realizing that vision.

Occupying 95 hectares, the Gigafactory is designed with an initial capacity of 20 GWh and is expected to begin production in 2027. All products will serve the EU market, enabling Gotion to enhance its regional supply capability, improve logistics efficiency, and strengthen its role in Europe’s green industrial chain.

“Gotion will take ‘Made in Slovakia’ batteries as a driving force to empower global green energy,” said Li Zhen, Chairman of Gotion.

  • Texas Leading the Way as the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Grants Preliminary Approval of Fermi America’s Clean Air Permit, Relieving Consumers Nationwide from Shouldering Voracious Power Needs of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  • Permitting the First 6 GW of an 11 GW Campus will Clear the Path for Fermi America to Build One of the Largest Clean Natural Gas Projects in the World
  • 6 GW of Clean Energy, Enough to Power New York City, to Be Removed from Public Grid Demand, Empowering National Security While Protecting American Pocketbooks
  • Fermi Site is the Go-To for Companies Seeking to Protect Consumers from Rising Utility Costs, While Ensuring Low Emissions

AMARILLO, Texas, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Fermi America™ (Nasdaq: FRMI) in partnership with the Texas Tech University System, announced the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ)’s preliminary approval of 6 GW of clean natural gas-based power generation, of the projected 11 GW campus, which will make Project Matador one of the largest clean natural gas power generation facilities in the world.

The approval — subject to a formal meeting and ongoing process for public input — places Texas at the forefront of a historic shift in how America powers the future of AI, answering President Donald Trump’s call for energy and AI dominance, and Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s charge to ensure national security, while not burdening consumers with higher utility prices. 

Understanding that the United States faces an energy arms race for the computing power that defines global leadership in defense, data, and AI, Fermi America is building its Panhandle private grid campus in real time.  

Fermi’s, the federal government’s, and Texas’s collaborative sense of urgency is not about powering apps on smartphones, e-commerce websites, and robotics, but because America’s entire infrastructure, including law enforcement, military operations, banking and finance networks, communication, transportation, education, healthcare, and energy grids, all rely on cloud computing power. 

“The era of burdensome permitting processes stalling critical infrastructure is over,” stated Texas Tech University System Board of Regents Chairman Cody Campbell. “Project Matador aligns directly with President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Orders on energy security and AI leadership. This creates an unprecedented opportunity for public and private sectors to work together to strengthen the grid, protect taxpayers, and secure America’s AI future—without delay. With Governor Abbott’s leadership and TCEQ’s accelerated work on next-generation power and responsible, timely regulation, while ensuring low-emission projects, Texas is once again leading the way.”

Co-Founder of Fermi America and former U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, emphasized, “Energy independence is not just an economic issue — it’s a matter of national security. President Trump and Governor Abbott are men of action, and they expect the private sector to provide answers, not power points. At Fermi, we are proud to be building this campus in real time to meet the needs of the country.”   

As Fermi America’s clean natural gas project comes online, 6 GW of power demand will not have to be drawn from the U.S. grid — enough energy, on average, to power New York City. Instead, Fermi will utilize minimal grid power as it ramps up in the coming months, until the initial gas generators, which are already en route to the campus, are installed and online in 2026. The entire premise behind the 11 GW private HyperGrid campus being built on clean natural gas, nuclear, solar, and battery power is that the nation’s grid cannot grow fast enough to keep pace with the AI race, nor should consumers be expected to foot the bill through rising utility rates to support the most successful companies in the world.  

“Hardworking Americans are tired of watching electricity costs rise while the grid ages,” added Toby Neugebauer, CEO and Co-Founder of Fermi America. “At Fermi, our private grid model ensures that the growing demand for AI is met privately — freeing up power on the public utilities to serve homes, schools, hospitals, and small businesses as intended. Together with our partners, we’re building one of the cleanest, most efficient power fleets in the world, driven by American innovation — without asking taxpayers to foot the energy bill for the world’s largest, highest-margin companies.”   

Fermi America plans to integrate zero emissions solar into its power supply plan and utilize the latest technology and hybrid cooling systems, ensuring protection of air quality and water conservation. Additionally, Fermi’s air quality analysis shows that the project meets all federal and state air quality, odor and health effect standards, ensuring that air quality is protective of all Carson County residents.
