TCL Technology Edelweiss Land Debuts at Milan Central Station, Spotlighting Innovation in the City’s Iconic Hub

 TCL, a leading global technology company and a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, celebrated the opening of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 with the launch of its “It’s Your Greatness” campaign and the inauguration of its creative showcase, TCL Edelweiss Land, at the Piazza Duca d’Aosta in front of Milan Central Station. Key guests attended the opening on 5 February, including Kirsty Coventry, President of the International Olympic Committee, Kevin Wang, CEO, TCL Technology, and Dr. Yan, CTO of TCL Technology and CTO of TCL CSOT.

The initiative comes at a time when technology partners are becoming increasingly important to global sporting events, with brands playing a more integral role in the infrastructure behind how the Olympic Games are delivered and experienced.

TCL firmly believes in the power of sport to inspire and unite people across cultures and generations. As the world joins together to welcome the Olympic Winter Games, TCL’s “It’s Your Greatness” campaign will encourage people to find their own excellence—in tune with the event’s official theme of “IT’s your vibe.” Throughout the event, TCL technology will transform how fans enjoy the event, provide comfort and connection so athletes can perform at their best, and engage viewers and communities around the world to Inspire Greatness.

TCL will help millions of fans to enjoy the Olympic Winter Games on-site and worldwide by providing TVs, digital signage, and technical assistance to the Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) so that media at the International Broadcasting Centre can bring Milano Cortina 2026 to global audiences. TCL’s ‘screen universe’ and other innovations such as AI-enabled air conditioners will also be featured in a TCL space at the Milano Olympic Village, showing how technology gives fans more choice than ever in how they enjoy the Olympic Winter Games.

TCL is also helping to ensure athletes participating in the Olympic Winter Games are ready for action. As they settle in, TCL’s next-generation home appliances such as smart washing machines and dryers are helping them to enjoy a new level of comfort at the Anterselva and Livigno Olympic Villages, while TCL TVs help them relax and unwind. TCL is also supporting the “Athlete Moment”, providing the display technology that will connect athletes with their loved ones for moments of celebration immediately after each event. 

TCL products are featured in a space at the Milano Olympic Village

The idea behind “It’s Your Greatness” reflects TCL’s commitment to excellence, in close alignment with the Olympic values. Years of practice and months of intense training by hundreds of athletes culminate in Olympic events over the next two weeks where outstanding passion and dedication will inspire the world. These include the likes of Olympic champion and freestyle skier Eileen Gu, rising ice hockey star Jack Hughes and slalom specialist Alex Vinatzer, supported by TCL as part of Team TCL’s 15 athletes from 8 countries participating in the Olympic Winter Games and Paralympic Winter Games.

“As Milano Cortina 2026 opens, we’re excited to mark our first Olympic Winter Games as a Worldwide Olympic & Paralympic Partner. TCL firmly believes in the power of sport to inspire and unite people across cultures and generations, with the Olympic Games embodying values of achievement and determination that together drive innovation,” said TCL Founder and Chairman Li Dongsheng. “We look forward to cheering on the athletes we support as part of Team TCL, celebrating the pursuit of excellence empowered by technology.”

TCL Edelweiss Land Showcases Cutting-Edge Innovation

TCL Edelweiss Land extends the celebration of greatness, running from 5-22 February in the Piazza Duca d’Aosta in front of Milan Central Station. Spanning over 500 square meters, visitors can get hands-on with TCL’s latest innovations, share photo-worthy moments and inspire themselves, their friends and their community to create the extraordinary. Designed around environmentally friendly principles and driven by creativity, the showcase’s design reflects TCL’s commitment to sustainability and to innovation.

Speaking at the event, Kirsty Coventry, President of the International Olympic Committee, said “When I think of TCL as a TOP Partner, what stands out is how global they are. Their reach helps to spread the magic of the Olympic Winter Games to communities everywhere. TCL is also a technology leader, but it’s not just about technology. TCL shares our values – inspiring greatness, connecting people, and bringing the Olympic Games closer to everyone. I’m very excited about the future of our partnership and TCL will play a leading role in shaping how the world experiences the Olympic Games.”

TCL Edelweiss Land is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., with distinctive zones featuring TCL’s latest products, including the latest display technology developed by TCL CSOT. Visitors can also see smart home appliances and TCL RayNeo AR glasses that showcase the latest in augmented-reality technology.

To further amplify the energy and excitement around the Olympic Winter Games, TCL has also collaborated with the Olympic Museum to bring a vibrant mural to the heart of Milan at Corso di Porta Romana 111. The design was developed by Zeina Rashid, a painter and Olympian who represented Jordan in table tennis in Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008, and who was selected for the project through the Olympian Artists Programme of the Olympic Museum. The inspiration came from her childhood memories of watching the Olympic Winter Games on television, which sparked her dreams about the Olympic Games. Her vision was then brought to life by mural artist Bublegum. The result is a lively tribute to the cultural heritage of the Olympic Games, celebrating how countless children around the world first discover the Olympic spirit through a screen that opens a window onto their future ambitions.

How the nubia V80 Max Keeps Up with Filipinos

The nubia V80 Max’s tough build and IP64 dust and water resistance mean it’s better protected against splashes, dust, and everyday accidents. Its large 6.9-inch high-res display with 120Hz refresh rate and up to 780 nits brightness also makes it easier to read notes, review slides, or scroll through school portals, even under bright daylight.

Real-life win: Less stress about bumps and spills, more focus on getting things done.

 

For Commuters, Field Workers, and Riders: Ready for the Everyday Grind

Daily commuting in the Philippines means crowded trains, sudden stops, and the occasional slip or drop during rush hour. For field workers and riders, it also means dust, heat, and changing weather.

                                                                                                                                                              The nubia V80 Max is designed with practical durability in mind. As mentioned, it is paired with IP64 dust and water resistance to handle everyday exposure. Also, its 6000mAh battery is designed to last through long days on the move, while features like AI Night Charging, Bypass Charging, and even 10W reverse charging add smarter ways to manage power.

Real-life win: Fewer battery anxiety moments, more confidence getting through a full workday.

For Content Creators & Weekend Travelers: Made for Moments, Not Just Specs

From beach trips and hikes to quick café shoots and city walks, content creators need a phone that keeps up with movement, dust, sweat, and uneven surfaces.

The nubia V80 Max packs a 50MP AI camera, supports dynamic image capture, gesture snap, voice snap, and even multi-camera simultaneous recording, making it easier to capture moments without overthinking the setup.

Its durable build and long battery life mean you can shoot more and worry less about where you set your phone down.

Real-life win: More time creating, less time babying your device.

The Bottom Line

Made for real Philippine routines, the nubia V80 Max combines durability, long battery life, smooth performance, and smart features to deliver everyday peace of mind. For Filipinos who want a phone that can handle daily life without constant worry, the V80 Max stands out as a super durable, super smart companion, proof that dependable toughness doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.

St. Peter Life Plan Reminds Filipinos This Valentine’s: Love Means Preparing Today to Protect Tomorrow

 As Valentine’s Day draws near — a time when love is celebrated in its many forms — St. Peter invites Filipinos to reflect on one of the most enduring expressions of love: preparing today to protect those you hold dear tomorrow.

While Valentine’s is often centered on romantic gestures, love goes beyond fleeting moments. Whether it’s love for yourself, for a spouse, for your children, or for aging parents, the most profound act of care is ensuring your family is not burdened emotionally or financially in life’s inevitable moments of loss.

St. Peter has long championed the importance of memorial preparedness as a practical and compassionate choice for Filipino families. For over five decades, St. Peter has offered affordable traditional and cremation life plans that allow individuals to secure lifetime memorial service packages at today’s cost — a choice that protects loved ones from future financial strain.

“Love is not just a feeling, it is action. And for Love Month, we honor love not only as an emotion, but as a deliberate act of commitment and responsibility,” says Mr. Jonathan B. Vitangcol, President and CEO of St. Peter Life Plan, Inc. “Choosing a St. Peter Life Plan is an expression of love that stands the test of time. It’s about ensuring that your family’s peace of mind is protected — today and tomorrow.”

LOVE IN ALL ITS FORMS

Self-Love:
Love starts with you. Investing in a life plan reflects deep self-respect and acceptance of life’s realities — not fear. It’s a choice that says, I care enough to prepare.

Love for Family:
For parents and caregivers, planning ahead relieves loved ones from the stress and uncertainty that often accompany funeral arrangements. With flexible installment options and transparent pricing, St. Peter Life Plan turns intention into action — making planning doable and empowering for every generation.

Love for a Spouse or Partner:
Preparing a life plan together strengthens bonds and strengthens your shared future, reminding couples that love is not just felt — it’s planned for.

A TRUSTED PARTNER IN PEACE OF MIND

St. Peter stands as the country’s most respected pre-need provider, with a network of branches nationwide. Its traditional and cremation life plans are designed to be anti-inflationary and assignable, with value-added insurance benefits like credit life coverage, cash assistance, and waiver of installment under qualifying conditions — adding layers of protection for planholders and beneficiaries alike.

LOVE THAT LASTS A LIFETIME

This Valentine’s Day, St. Peter reminds every Filipino that the most enduring gifts are those that offer peace, security, and dignity. Because true love isn’t only about shared moments — it’s about sharing a future where loved ones are cared for, no matter what comes.
