BEIJING, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday put forward four proposals to accelerate the process of women’s all-round development. Addressing the opening ceremony of the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women held in Beijing, Xi said the proposals were introduced to build a wider consensus, open up broader pathways and take more practical actions for this cause, as women’s all-round development is still facing complex challenges.

The Chinese president proposed joining efforts in fostering an enabling environment for women’s growth and development.

“Their all-round development is achieved under the prerequisite of peace and tranquility,” Xi said.

He emphasized the need to enhance the protection of women and girls in regions struck by war, conflict, poverty or natural disaster, and support the vital role of women in preventing conflict and rebuilding their homes.

It is crucial to improve mechanisms against violence and resolutely crack down on all forms of violence against women, Xi added.

The president proposed cultivating powerful momentum for the high-quality development of women’s cause.

Xi urged efforts to address the imbalance and inadequacy of women’s development around the world, and enable all women to share the benefits of economic globalization.

It is important to harness scientific and technological innovation to empower women’s high-quality development, and to support women in playing an even bigger role in green development.

Xi also proposed developing governance frameworks to protect women’s rights and interests.

He called for improving institutions and laws, and introducing further tangible and accessible policy measures, and channeling more quality health and educational resources to all women.

It is vital to promote an inclusive and harmonious social environment that sets women free from discrimination and bias, broaden the channels for women to participate in and deliberate on political affairs, and support their extensive engagement in state and social governance, he noted.

Xi underscored the need to nurture an environment that respects women, and to morph gender equality into a code of conduct embraced by everyone in the society.

The president also proposed writing a new chapter in promoting global cooperation on women.

He called for support for women to play a substantive role in global governance and share in its benefits.

Xi also voiced support for the central role of the UN, urging it to pay more attention to the needs of women in developing countries, and create broad cooperation platforms for women in all countries.

Xi also announced a slew of measures to support the global women’s cause at the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women.

Over the next five years, China will donate an additional $10 million to UN Women. Meanwhile, China will earmark $100 million from the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund for cooperation with international organizations on projects to promote women’s and girls’ development, Xi said.

China will support 1,000 “small and beautiful” livelihood projects for women and girls as the priority beneficiaries, and invite 50,000 women to China for exchange and training programs, he said.

China will also establish a center dedicated to promoting global women’s capacity-building, through which it will carry out cooperation with relevant countries and international organizations to cultivate more outstanding female professionals, Xi said.

China’s answer

President Xi’s speech today was inspiring, practical and significant because China is leading the global efforts to promote gender equality across various sectors, including the economy, digital technology and culture. Many view gender equality as a single issue, but it permeates every aspect of a nation. Following this speech, greater achievements in gender equality are expected worldwide, President of the Women’s Congress of Kyrgyzstan Zamira Akbagysheva, told the Global Times.

President Xi’s speech not only demonstrated China’s concrete actions in advancing the goals of gender equality and women’s empowerment under the framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, but also outlined a clear roadmap for progress. It provides a distinct “Chinese solution” for building international consensus and jointly promoting gender equality worldwide, Guo Ye, director of the Women’s Research Institute of the All-China Women’s Federation, told the Global Times.

Guo noted that today’s meeting has further strengthened the international community’s confidence in promoting women’s development and gender equality.

The 2025 gathering is aimed at reviving the spirit of the 1995 World Conference on Women, also held in the Chinese capital, which adopted the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, per Xinhua. The 2025 conference injected fresh momentum into the global push for gender equality and the full development of women, Xinhua reported.

As an active supporter of global women’s causes, China has contributed $20 million to UN Women since 2015. In partnership with UNESCO, it established the Prize for Girls’ and Women’s Education and supported projects in Africa that promote digital and health education for girls, Xinhua reported on Monday.

In 1995, the world gathered in Beijing. And in 2025, the world has returned once again. China has successfully organized this remarkable conference that allows us to share our experiences and learn from each other’s efforts so we can accelerate our collective progress, Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, minister of delegation of the Republic of Ghana, told the Global Times.

By hosting this conference, China has given us the opportunity to approach the gender issue from a political and holistic perspective, rather than in fragmented parts, she said. “With such a comprehensive view, we can see how all the individual elements come together to form the whole. Therefore, China’s position and role promoting gender equality cannot be underestimated.”

Inspiration for others

In China, women’s life expectancy has risen to 80.9 years, and enrollment of girls in compulsory education now exceeds 99.9 percent nationwide. Women currently comprise over half of all higher education students and account for around 43 percent of the total workforce, with their influence growing across governance, science, business and sports, Xinhua reported on Sunday.

China has developed a model for advancing gender equality that is tailored to its national conditions and has proven effective. Gender equality is enshrined as a fundamental state policy, strengthening both legal protections and social awareness.

Today, the representation of women among national lawmakers, political advisors and delegates to the CPC National Congress have all hit record highs, according to Xinhua.

Maimona A.M. Khalid, Minister at the Embassy of the Republic of the Sudan in China, highlighted China’s contributions to women’s education, emphasizing that “education is the key pillar for everything. Let’s educate women – when women are educated, they learn, they grow, and they lead their societies.”

She added that China has a broad and forward-looking vision for empowering women and promoting global development. “If countries work together,” she said, “we can elevate the global role of women and advance peace, prosperity, and progress for all humankind.”

Christine Arab, UN Women Regional Director for Asia Pacific Region, told the Global Times on Monday that she was impressed by the high level of women’s participation in digital technology in China. “In East and Southern Africa, where I come from, we are still trying to close the gap, as only a little over 20 percent of women are involved in digital technology. But China has gone far beyond that, which is truly something to be proud of.”

“Here in China, we were warmly welcomed by lecturers and professors at a women’s university, which demonstrates that women in China can inspire, motivate, and mentor women from my country. This exposure helps women from my country realize they can achieve similar heights,” Nerol Vaekesa, director of Vois Blong Mere Solomon, a non-governmental organization in Solomon Islands, told the Global Times.

BREDA, Netherlands, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, on World Food Day, Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas) announces they will participate in a three-year food research project. Together with the Louis Bolk Institute and Wageningen University & Research (WUR) and a large group of partners, BUas will examine how the way we eat in professional environments can change for the better. BUas will test in company canteens of hospitals how hospital staff and external visitors can be further encouraged to make healthier and more sustainable food choices.

The FUEL research is socially relevant since more and more countries worldwide are struggling with rising obesity rates and chronic diseases, while at the same time the climate crisis demands more sustainable food production and consumption. “Company restaurants and hospital catering outlets reach millions of people every day, but they are not making the most of their opportunity to encourage healthy and sustainable choices,” explains BUas senior lecturer and researcher Michel Altan. “By changing this, we can make a significant impact on both health and sustainability. There is still a stigma that healthy food is not tasty, and as a result, the food offered by caterers is often less healthy than it could be.”

BUas will participate in this innovative research project and develop evidence-based strategies going beyond traditional information campaigns. This international educational institute combines insights from behavioural science, nutrition science and organisational psychology to design effective interventions. The research focuses on three pillars: strategic menu adjustments, smart communication, and nudging techniques that make healthy choices easier.

“What makes this project unique is that we will not only look at the caterer and behaviour in the restaurant, but also investigate whether people continue to make these healthier choices at home,” says Altan. “We will measure effects that are essential for sustainable behavioural change.”

The staff of company restaurants are central to the BUas approach because the effectiveness of healthy food choices depends on acceptance by the service staff. More and more organisations recognise that healthy and sustainable food choices are important. Previous research has already shown that the employees’ role and contribution to food production or food supply is even more important: their motivation, skills, and possibilities are decisive in encouraging guests to make healthy and sustainable food choices. The university of applied sciences will therefore develop concrete tools and training courses that support kitchen and service staff in their role as ‘change agents’ with knowledge, skills, and a supportive working environment.

The decision to announce the project on World Food Day is symbolic. This international UN day draws attention to food security and healthy nutrition worldwide every year.

On World Food Day, Education Cannot Wait calls for increased investment in school feeding programmes worldwide.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Globally, 673 million people live in hunger today and, every year, 45 million girls and boys suffer from severe malnutrition. These are the tragic and real numbers behind food insecurity today.

We must unite efforts to address hunger and the underlying causes of poverty, displacement, conflict and climate change. Education – and school feeding programmes in particular – offer a key entry point to address these interconnected challenges.

The world is making uneven progress, with girls and boys living in protracted crises most at risk. According to World Food Programme’s (WFP) latest State of School Feeding Worldwide report, 466 million children are receiving school meals, an increase of 80 million over the last four years. There is strong national investment in school meals, but countries faced with armed conflict, forced displacement and climate change impacts rarely have sufficient resources to provide healthy meals for every child. This is where multilateral funds like Education Cannot Wait (ECW) can make a difference.

From 2023 to 2024, ECW and its strategic partners provided school feeding programmes for approximately 385,000 children. Not only do these children receive healthy meals, but the community benefits as well.

In Cameroon and Haiti, for example, ECW funding of the World Food Programme buys food from local smallholder farmers, and community members cook and clean at school kitchens. Such programmes can strengthen local economies and make food systems more resilient. It’s a systems-wide approach to a global challenge, and girls and boys impacted by crises benefit most.

On World Food Day, ECW calls for increased investment in school feeding programmes for the 234 million girls and boys caught in crises. This is our investment in healthy minds and healthy bodies, our investment in an end to cycles of poverty and displacement, and our investment in climate resilience and sustainable economic development.

The global wireless EV charging market is rapidly approaching a critical inflection point. It is transitioning from a niche concept into a transformative force within the automotive industry. This shift is happening as global EV sales continue their meteoric rise. For instance, over 17 million units of electric vehicles were sold across the world in 2024. In addition to this, over 4 million vehicles were sold in the first quarter of 2025, which is nearly 35% higher than the previous year. In fact, the Biden-Harris administration is aiming for 50% of new car sales to be electric by 2030. Consequently, the demand for more convenient and seamless charging solutions has become paramount.

The evolution of wireless electric vehicle charging is backed by significant government investment and concrete international standards. This progress is setting the stage for a future where plugging in becomes a thing of the past. This in-depth analysis explores the key segments, recent technological breakthroughs, and quantitative data that illustrate the explosive potential of charging electric cars wirelessly.

New Performance Benchmarks Validate Wireless Charging’s Competitive Edge

The conversation around electric vehicle wireless charging is no longer just about convenience; it is now firmly about performance. Recent tests in the wireless EV charging market have demonstrated remarkable capabilities that rival traditional methods. For instance, researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) developed a system that charges a Hyundai Kona Electric with 100 kW of power. This was achieved at a breakthrough 96% efficiency. The system successfully transferred this power across a 5-inch airgap, adding a 50% charge in just 20 minutes.

Moreover, an earlier benchtop test achieved an even higher 120 kW of power with 97% efficiency. This performance is 8 to 10 times the power density of previous technologies. Systems are now being developed across a range of power levels, with some wireless charging companies like Plugless Power offering 3.6 kW to 7.2 kW systems, while the 11 kW to 50 kW segment sees major development.

SAE J2954 A Catalyst for Mass Market Adoption and Interoperability in Wireless EV Charging Market

For any charging technology to succeed, standardization is non-negotiable. Therefore, the SAE International J2954 standard provides the critical framework for inductive charging electric vehicles. This standard ensures that different vehicles and chargers can work together seamlessly. It defines three primary power levels for light-duty vehicles: 3.7 kW (WPT1), 7.7 kW (WPT2), and 11 kW (WPT3). Impressively, it achieves a grid-to-battery efficiency of up to 93%, making it highly competitive with plug-in chargers.

The standard also specifies a Differential Inductive Positioning System (DIPS). This crucial alignment tool helps vehicles automatically position themselves for optimal charging in any weather. Looking ahead, SAE is already developing SAE J2954/2, a future standard to address the needs of heavy-duty vehicles with power levels up to 500 kW.

Segmenting the Infrastructure Opportunity Static Versus Dynamic Charging

The world of wireless charging for vehicles is unfolding along two parallel paths: static and dynamic charging. Static charging, where an EV charges while parked, is the more mature technology. It is the primary focus of the SAE J2954 standard and is ideal for home garages and commercial parking lots in the wireless EV charging market. In contrast, dynamic wireless electric charger systems represent a more revolutionary leap. This technology embeds charging coils into roadways to power vehicles as they drive. Pilot projects are already proving its viability worldwide.

In Detroit, a quarter-mile section of road with Electreon’s technology opened in late 2023. It successfully charged a Ford E-Transit van with 16 kW of power while it drove at 9 mph. Similarly, Italy’s “Arena of the Future” project is testing in-motion charging for Stellantis and IVECO vehicles. Ultimately, dynamic charging promises to eliminate range anxiety and could allow for EVs with smaller, lighter batteries, potentially reducing vehicle costs by up to 50%.

Mapping the Competitive Ecosystem Key Players and Patent Leadership in the Wireless EV Charging Market

The field of wireless ev charging companies is a vibrant mix of specialized tech firms and automotive giants. WiTricity, a spin-off from MIT, is a foundational player whose technology is a cornerstone of the SAE standard. Other key innovators include InductEV wireless charging, Electreon, and HEVO Inc. All of these companies are deploying active projects globally. The intensity of innovation is reflected in the patent landscape. Between 2019 and 2022 alone, over 720,000 patents were filed in the broader automotive industry, with many in wireless charging.

Companies like Samsung and Qualcomm lead, holding 1,136 and 1,014 patents respectively. Meanwhile, BYD, Toyota, and Sumitomo Electric are also major players. This fierce competition among every major wireless charger company is accelerating technological advancement.

Policy and Investment The Twin Engines Driving Market Expansion

Government support is proving to be a powerful catalyst for the wireless EV charging market. In the U.S., the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides a massive $7.5 billion for EV charging infrastructure. This funding includes $5 billion for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program and a $2.5 billion grant program. Furthermore, the Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging Grant Program Act of 2023 proposed a $250 million grant program specifically for these projects. An alternative fuel infrastructure tax credit adds another incentive. It covers 30% of the cost, up to $100,000, for charging infrastructure installed through 2032. These initiatives are critical for de-risking the high initial investment required for deployment.

Quantifying Consumer Appetite The Demand Metrics Driving Adoption

The ultimate success of any new automotive technology hinges on consumer desire. Recent surveys in the global wireless EV charging market reveal a powerful demand for the convenience offered by a wireless charger electric car. One study found that an overwhelming 81% of consumers are very or extremely interested in wireless charging EVs. Crucially, this feature significantly boosts purchase intent. For consumers already planning to buy an EV, their likelihood to purchase increased by 40% when presented with a wireless option. The effect was even more dramatic for those undecided about EVs. Their purchase intent increased by nearly 70%. Another survey showed 66% of consumers already use wireless charging for other devices, indicating a high level of familiarity and comfort with the core technology.

Expanding Market Horizons Beyond the Passenger Vehicle

The applications of wireless charging extend far beyond the personal passenger car. The technology is a critical enabler for the future of autonomous vehicles. These vehicles will need to charge themselves without any human intervention. For commercial fleets in the wireless EV charging market, such as delivery vans and taxis, automatic ev inductive charging at depots can dramatically reduce labor costs and downtime. In public transit, dynamic charging allows electric buses to operate continuously without returning to a depot. Pilot projects are already underway, including a program in the UK to test dynamic charging for buses and logistics vehicles. As these diverse applications mature, they will create a robust and resilient ecosystem for wireless electric vehicle charging.

Risk Assessment and Opportunity Analysis for the Wireless EV Charging Market Paints Attractive Picture

Despite immense progress, challenges remain. The initial cost of installing wireless charging systems is still higher than for traditional plug-in chargers. For instance, a residential Level 2 wireless charger installation can range from $500 to $2,500, with hardware costs between $300 and $1,200. Maintaining high efficiency in real-world conditions is another persistent engineering challenge. However, as standards become universally adopted and manufacturing scales up post-2025, costs are expected to decline significantly. The undeniable benefits of convenience and automation create a powerful value proposition. Therefore, the drive toward a wireless future is not a matter of if, but when.
