NME将与北京阜国共同研究HD技术，并成立合资公司NME—World
（伦敦, 2005年11月8日）
早在今年11月初，北京阜国数字技术有限公司就已经与英国公司进行商议：共同成立合资公司NME—World，并进行HD技术的研究。
（慧聪网家电频道报道） New Medium 公司（NMEN）已经与北京阜国数字达成合作协议。阜国数字是一家拥有14家国内家电的企业。NMEN公司将以HD技术与阜国EVD的国家标准进行公平“交易”。
北京阜国数字技术有限公司是一家中国电子公司，其拥有的高清晰存储EVD已经获得了中国政府的支持，并得到国家经济贸易委员会1.235百万美元的支持。国家信息产业部2005年2月18日已经正式将EVD颁布为中国电子行业推荐标准。 阜国数字是EVD技术和商标的最主要拥有者，公司所拥有的技术已经获得了9项专利。
在合作事项中，New Medium Enterprises (NME)公司将获得约40%的公司股份，并对阜国进行850万美元的现金投资。作为交换，中方将出让阜国数字69.09%股权给NME公司。
双方公司将在高容量光存储器领域进行研发，并共同分享研究成果。NME公司的高容量光存储技术和阜国的技术体系合作，将会在红光结构上为HD领域提供解决方案。
这种“互插”式的合作方式将会增强双方的技术实力，实现最终的目标，从而在2006年推出更多的红光高清晰度设备与显示器。
合资公司将会以NME-World的新名字出现，并计划在2006年年初，在纳斯达克证券交易所上市，预计筹资1000万美元。公司已经敲定纽约地区投资银行Spencer Clarke 来负责公司在纳斯达克股票市场的上市工作。
NME公司CEO Mahesh Jayanarayan对此评价，“成立NME-World合资公司是一件另人激动的事情，紧密的合作将会排除已认知的技术障碍。也会在应用红光结构基础上，促进HD的上市。与中方的阜国数字的合作，NMW公司将会增强在质量和价格上与国际巨头相较量。(译自NME网站消息）
NME and Beijing E-World Agree to Merge HD Technologies and Form NME-World
LONDON, Nov 08,2005
New Medium Enterprises (OTCBB: NMEN) who already had a collaborative agreement with Beijing E-World, a profitable Chinese Electronic and System Technology design company and owned by 14 leading OEM device manufacturers, entered into an agreement to merge its HD technology with E-World’s EVD standard by way of an equity swap.
Beijing E-World Technologies Co., Ltd is a Chinese Electronics company, where its High Definition (HD) storage format Enhanced Versatile Disc (EVD) has gained great support from the Chinese government and was awarded a grant of US$1.235 million for scientific research from the State Economic and Trade Commission. Its EVD standard was officially announced as China’s National Standard for High Definition Versatile Disc by the Ministry of Information Industries on February 18th, 2005. E-World is the owner of EVD’s key technologies and the EVD trademark. The company has been granted 9 patents for its system technology.
E-World is owned by leading electronic enterprises in China such as SVA, Shinco, Amoi, Nintaus, BBK, Panda, SAST and China Electronics Technology Group Corporation.
In the proposed transaction New Medium Enterprises (NME) will grant approximately 40% of its company’s equity and invest $8.5 million in return for 69.09% of E-World.
The companies have both been working in the higher capacity optical storage area and share common goals. NME’s high storage optic technology and E-World’s system technology will provide a complete solution in the field of HD using the red laser format.
The share swap will strengthen both parties’ technological aspirations and goals and accelerate the launch of a number of red laser HD devices and displays by 2006.
The combined group will rename itself NME-World and will seek to re-list on the NASDAQ in early 2006 and seek to raise US$10 million for a global launch of its combined products. The company has appointed Spencer Clarke an Investment Bank in New York to spearhead the NASDAQ listing.
Mahesh Jayanarayan, the CEO of NME commented, "These are exciting times for NME-World. This closer cooperation will remove any perceived technological barriers and will accelerate the launch of true HD into the market place using the current red laser format. Combined with the electronic manufacturing resources of E-World, NME will be able to now compete in terms of quality and price with the electronic giants and roll out the HD devices comfortably by year end."
