- David Beckham is one of the world’s most famous soccer players, celebrated for his exceptional career and significant contributions both on and off the pitch.
He was part of Manchester United’s “Class of ’92,” a group of young talents who rose through the club’s youth academy to achieve unprecedented success. He captained the England national team from 2000 to 2006, played for some of the world’s biggest clubs and became the first English soccer player to win national league titles in four different countries.
“The reason I’ve been successful is because of teams that I’ve been part of. I was lucky to play for great teams with great managers and great players,” Beckham told CNBC’s Tania Bryer in the most recent episode of CNBC Meets.
Off the pitch, Beckham has long been committed to humanitarian work and has supported numerous charities and projects around the world, including UNICEF, for which he’s served as a Goodwill A...

- Vietnam is renowned for its coffee culture. From the high-end cafes to street stalls equipped with iconic low stools and tiny tables, coffee in Vietnam – usually brewed with Robusta beans – packs a punch.
However, the most accessible way to get your caffeine fix in the country is cà phê bệt, which literally translates to "coffee while sitting on the ground." Coffee sellers usually provide pieces of cardboard or tarps for their customers to use as seats on the ground, making it convenient for students and office workers.
Vietnamese TV host Tran Khanh Vy, who has lived in Ho Chi Minh City for several years, shared her favorite ca phe bet hangout right in the heart of the metropolis at the April 30th Park.
Just a stone's throw away from there is the Independence Palace, which is Khanh Vy's second recommendation to visit during downtime.
"If you want to get a really great picture or selfie, come here," said Khanh Vy, who is also a...

- Audoo, a tech company founded by musician-turned-entrepreneur Ryan Edwards, is tackling one of the music industry's long-standing challenges — ensuring artists receive accurate royalties for their music played in commercial locations.
The idea was born when Edwards heard his own music being played in a London department store, and he became curious about how royalties were being tracked and paid.
He said he uncovered a "huge problem with inaccuracy" and set about creating a solution in the shape of a small plug-in device which recognizes and registers music.
The old method consisted of manual surveys and radio data sampling, leaving much to be desired in terms of accuracy. Audoo's devices provide a new level of precision, ensuring artists are paid for every play.
"This is in everything from gyms to retail locations, cafes. We're in schools. We're in nurseries, you name it. Anywhere that you hear music out and about, we are there," E...

- Vinyl records may be music's most enduring format. The 12-inch vinyl LP is a format that is nearly 80 years old, but its popularity has been steadily rising over the past two decades.
In 2024, 30 million vinyl records were sold in the United States and United Kingdom alone, and the global vinyl market is projected to be worth $1.5 billion by 2030, according to a report from Research and Markets.
"It continues to grow," said Barry Hurley, the managing director for Packaged Sounds, a vinyl pressing plant just outside London.
"The format itself hasn't changed too dramatically, except for the addition of lots of different colors and special effects vinyl, which we specialize in," Hurley told CNBC's Converge.
Unfortunately, the records loved by music enthusiasts for their rich sound quality are made from non-renewable materials and carry a high carbon footprint.

- The multibillion-dollar global film industry is at the advent of another technological revolution, set to make movie-making easier than ever before.
One innovator in the space is prestigious camera and production supplies company, ARRI, which opened a groundbreaking stage just outside London in 2021. The stage features a 30-meter wide 16K resolution screen.
“It replaces the need to work within green screen, so the actors love the environment. They're interacting with what they're seeing around them,” ARRI production specialist Robert Payton told CNBC’s Converge.
ARRI partnered with live events operations company, Creative Technology, to meet the growing demand for virtual production facilities.
“We're a display business, so we work in LED screens, which is kind of our core market, and obviously ARRI are at the forefront of the cinematic world,” said Connie Glover, Creative Technology’s head of film and TV.

- Singapore Airlines has been ranked as one of the world's top airlines for decades.
But it hasn't all been plain sailing. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, passenger capacity for the airline plummeted from 3.4 million monthly travelers to just 11,000.
Steering Singapore Airlines through the crisis was Goh Choon Phong, a 30-year veteran who rose through the ranks and became CEO in 2011.
"There were two key objectives to ensure that we emerge stronger. One was to ensure that we have the ability to be the first off the block, to ensure that we have the ability to deploy the capacity whenever a border is opened," Goh told CNBC's Christine Tan in the most recent episode of "Managing Asia."
"The other one is really our internal transformation program. We call it lead the new world. That is to ensure that as we emerge from the pandemic, we continue to offer industry leading services, products, and network for our customers," Goh added.<...
