U.S. Soy Drives Dialogue on Trade, Partnerships, and Sustainable Growth in Southeast Asia
Key regional events bring Together Industry Leaders to Advance Dialogue Across the Food and Feed Value Chain BANGKOK , April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Southeast Asia's food, feed, and agricultural trade community gathered in Bangkok, Thailand, for two key industry events hosted by the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC), the S.E. Asia U.S. Agricultural Cooperators Conference and the Asia Soy Excellence & Food Summit . Together, the events brought together U.S. farmers, exporters, industry leaders, and regional stakeholders to exchange insights, strengthen partnerships, and explore opportunities shaping the future of food and agriculture in Southeast Asia. U.S. Ambassador to Thailand Sean O’Neill with leaders from the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) and fellow U.S. cooperators at the S.E. Asia U.S. Agricultural Cooperators Conference in Bangkok, March 23–25, 2026. Southeast Asia remains a key growth market for U.S. Soy, fueled by increasing demand across both feed and food sectors. In Marketing Year (MY) 2024/25, the region imported 10.1 million metric tons (MMT) of whole soybeans and 18.6 MMT of soybean meal [1] , underscoring the region's reliance on imported soy products, including U.S. Soy for high-quality, sustainable protein. The Philippines continues to be the top importer of U.S. soybean meal globally, while Vietnam remains among the region's leading markets with strong demand growth in recent years driven by expanding feed demand for livestock and aquaculture production. The region's food and beverage sector continues to embrace U.S. Soy's quality and versatility, supporting both traditional and modern food applications. As urbanization accelerates and consumer expectations evolve, rising consumption of poultry, pork, and seafood continues to drive demand for soybean meal across Southeast Asia. "These events bring together partners across the feed and food sectors to support practical dialogue and collaboration across the value chain," said Carlos Salinas, Executive Director – East Asia, U.S. Soybean Export Council. "Southeast Asia remains a key growth region for U.S. Soy. As demand for protein continues to rise, there are clear opportunities to expand the use of U.S. soybean meal and soy food products across the region. Through continued engagement, we support the region's priorities in food security, nutrition, and sustainable production." Sustainability That Buyers Trust Sustainability, transparency, and consistent quality continue to shape buyer expectations across Southeast Asia. U.S. Soy's unique strengths, including its lower carbon footprint and verified sustainability credentials, remain key differentiators for customers in the region. This is supported by the long-standing commitment of multi-generational U.S. farmers to quality [2] and reliable supply. Close engagement with buyers further reinforces confidence in U.S. Soy as a dependable, long-term partner. S.E. Asia U.S. Agricultural Cooperators Conference 2026 (23–25 March, 2026) Co‐organized by USSEC, the U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council, and U.S. Wheat Associates, the conference centered on the theme "Building Trusted Partnerships, Delivering Value and Reliability." The three-day program brought together U.S. suppliers and Southeast Asian buyers through business-to-business meetings, plenary sessions, and expert-led discussions focused on the forces shaping global agricultural markets. Insights highlighted how production trends, policy developments, and shifting trade dynamics continue to influence supply, pricing, and market outlooks across soy, grains, and wheat in an increasingly complex global trade environment. These discussions reinforced that reliability and long-term relationships remain key in navigating market uncertainty. The conference also provided opportunities for direct engagement between U.S. suppliers and Southeast Asian buyers, supporting more informed decision-making and deeper market engagement across the value chain. Discussions also highlighted the broader role of the feed sector in supporting reliable access to protein for a growing population. Participants at the Asia Soy Excellence & Food Summit 2026 in Bangkok Asia Soy Excellence & Food Summit 2026 (25–27 March, 2026) The Asia Soy Excellence & Food Summit opened with a strong emphasis on innovation, nutrition, and sustainability, highlighting the expanding role of U.S. Soy in meeting Asia's evolving food needs. Under the theme "Unlocking Nutritious and Sustainable Soy Benefits – Differentiate and Elevate U.S. Soy for Nourishing Asia," the summit convened leaders across the soy food ecosystem to explore how sustainably sourced U.S. Soy can support healthier diets and more resilient food systems across the region. Sustainability is also playing a greater role in shaping brand positioning and purchasing decisions. Industry partners are reporting stronger product differentiation, improved market performance, and enhanced consumer trust following the adoption of the Sustainable U.S. Soy (SUSS) label [3] , which identifies products made with verified sustainable U.S. Soy. The program further underscored demand for food-grade and identity preserved soybeans, alongside the importance of verified sourcing and traceability in meeting buyer expectations for consistent and trusted supply. Together, both events underscored the importance of strong partnerships, responsible sourcing, and shared innovation in supporting Southeast Asia's evolving food and feed needs. U.S. Soy continues to deliver consistent, responsibly sourced solutions backed by reliability and collaboration across the value chain. About USSEC The U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) focuses on differentiating, elevating preference, and attaining market access for the use of U.S. Soy for human consumption, aquaculture, and livestock feed in more than 90 countries internationally. USSEC members represent the soy supply chain including U.S. Soy farmers, processors, commodity shippers, merchandisers, allied agribusinesses, and agricultural organizations. USSEC is funded by the U.S. Soy Checkoff, USDA Foreign Agricultural Service matching funds, and industry. Visit www.ussec.org for the latest information about USSEC and U.S. Soy internationally.

Xinhua Silk Road: Hainan FTP embraces tangible benefits since island-wide special customs operations
BEIJING , April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- South China-located Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) is embracing tangible benefits from its high-level opening up represented by the island-wide special customs operations since December 18 last year. An aerial drone photo taken on Nov. 28, 2025 shows a view of the Yangpu Port in the Yangpu Economic Development Zone in Danzhou, south China's Hainan Province. (Xinhua/Guo Cheng) In the past over 100 days, a number of new foreign trade businesses completed record-filing in the tropical island province, with the gross growth up 65.7 percent from a year ago and imported zero-tariff goods and departure duty-free sales stood at nearly 1.7 billion yuan and 15.6 billion yuan respectively. Recently, a press conference was held in Boao of Hainan Province to celebrate the 100-day-long stable, orderly special customs operations of Hainan FTP, presenting to the world the new dividends of China's high-level opening up. Currently, Hainan is emerging as one of the new frontiers for China's opening up and a favored destination for regional cooperation, noted Cai Qiang, spokesperson for the Hainan government. The share of local zero-tariff items has surged to 74 percent, with the total number of zero-tariff items at 6,637 ones and an aggregate of 11,773 business entities were approved to enjoy the zero-tariff policy, showed public data. When Siemens Energy's gas turbine assembly base and service center, the first solely foreign-funded local hospital and the first foreign-funded esports industry project started construction or operation, Hainan won vote of confidence cast by foreign enterprises. Since December 18 of 2025, 737 foreign-funded businesses were registered in Hainan FTP in the past 3-plus months, up 33.5 percent year on year. All of the outcomes are closely related to its island-wide special customs operations, which effectively turn policy dividends into tangible results. Total imports and exports in the period exceeded 80 billion yuan, up 32.9 percent on year. At a time when global trade faces enormous challenges, building new bridges to link different regions is of critical importance, said Holger Bingmann, vice chairman of the International Chamber of Commerce, highlighting the quintessential role of Hainan FTP in crafting an ecosystem that is stable, interconnected and full of opportunities.

SOCO® Group to Showcase Sludge Solidification Solutions at NASTT No-Dig Show 2026
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. , March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SOCO ® Group ("SOCO ® " or "the Company"), a technolo gy-driven manufacturer specializing in water absorbing and retaining solutions for agricultural and industrial applications, will showcase sludge solidification and waterproofing solutions at Booth 676 of the NASTT No-Dig Show 2026 from March 29 to April 2. As utilities, municipalities, and contractors seek more efficient and environmentally responsible approaches to underground infrastructure work, the Company will highlight technologies designed to reduce liquid waste volume, improve handling efficiency, and support more controlled construction processes across trenchless and related infrastructure applications. SLUSORB was used in different application SOCO ® 's presence will mark its first appearance at the show and reflects a broader push to bring application-specific sludge management solutions to major trenchless markets, including the United States. SOCO ® 's focus for the event will center on how polymer-based solidification technologies can help address recurring operational and compliance challenges in scenarios such as horizontal directional drilling (HDD), no-dig drilling, tunneling, leachate treatment, and other liquid slurry environments. "Trenchless construction is often evaluated by equipment, access, and installation method, but material control is just as important to project execution. When slurry and sludge handling are not managed efficiently, costs rise, transport becomes more complex, and environmental risk increases," Jessie, Manager director with SOCO ® commented. "Our focus is to help customers solve that part of the equation in a way that is practical, scalable, and suited to real jobsite conditions." SOCO ® will highlight its sludge solidification solution as part of an integrated approach covering the full wastewater sludge process from generation to final disposal. The Company is framing solidification as an operational tool that can help simplify the movement of waste streams, reduce leakage risk, and improve downstream disposal efficiency across the disposal process. That matters in trenchless and underground infrastructure work, where liquid waste handling can quickly affect timelines, logistics, and total project cost. SLUSORB, a polymer solution developed to capture and lock free liquid in sludge and slurry, is at the center of the showcase. SLUSORB is used to help waste meet the Paint Filter Test for no free liquid while also supporting lower dosage requirements, high solidification efficiency, and transportation savings. The material features a low curing expansion rate of approximately 1%, helping reduce handling complexity and optimize transportation costs. Designed with environmental considerations in mind, SLUSORB is biodegradable and compliant with EPA 9095B standards. In addition, it provides effective dust suppression during application without posing harm to human health, contributing to safer jobsite conditions. The product is presented for use across tunnel projects, HDD, landfill leachate, mine sludge, and lagoon dredging, among other applications, where liquid waste must be stabilized before transport or landfill. S LUSORB has shown considerable promise as a solution for managing landfill leachate, particularly in handling high-strength and concentrated waste streams. When applied to concentrated leachate or during tra nsport and storage, SLUSORB rapidly absorbs free water, effectively reducing leachate volume and limiting fluid mobility. The gelation process minimizes the risk of leakage and uncontrolled dispersion, thus enhancing operational safety. Additionally, SLUSORB improves the efficiency of solidification and bolsters the structural integrity of the material. A key benefit is that the solidified leachate can be directly disposed of in the landfill (passing the paint filter test), eliminating the need for transport or external treatment while ensuring proper containment and environmental safety. This approach offers several practical benefits, including simpler handling, reduced treatment complexity, minimized environmental contamination, cost reduction, and the flexibility to address emergency or high-concentration leachate scenarios. In trenchless and adjacent infrastructure work, customers are also under pressure to comply with environmental regulations, reduce hauling costs, and improve the long-term containment of pollutants. SOCO ® is using NA STT to position its solutions around those priorities. Its regional strategy is focused on specific use cases over standard products. This is an application-driven approach built around real operating conditions and end-user needs. This also supports a broader industry conversation around responsible underground infrastructure management. Trenchless methods are often valued for limiting surface disruption, but project performance also depends on how effectively associated waste streams are handled. By improving sludge solidification, moisture control, and waterproofing performance, SOCO aims to show how materials can support both execution efficiency and more environmentally conscious construction practices in the field.

KN026 has been granted ODD by the FDA for the treatment of HER2-positive or low expressing GC; it has been granted BTD by NMPA for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive GC/GEJ who have failed first-line standard treatment. Events during the Reporting Period In January 2025, the results of phase II clinical study of KN026 in combination with docetaxel as first-line treatment for HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic breast cancer (BC) were published in Cancer Communications . In March 2025, the results of phase II clinical study of KN026 in combination with KN046 for the treatment of advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (excluding BC) were published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy . In April 2025, phase II/III clinical study of KN026 in combination with chemotherapy as second-line or above treatment of HER2-positive GC (including GEJ), completed the first interim analysis and met the pre-specified primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). KN026 is the first HER2 bispecific antibody to demonstrate positive results in the second-line treatment of GC. In April 2025, enrollment of all patients was completed in the phase III clinical study of KN026 combined with albumin-bound docetaxel HB1801 as first-line treatment for HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic BC. In June 2025, the results of phase II clinical study of KN026 in combination with KN046 for the treatment of HER2-positive BC were published in Clinical Cancer Research . In August 2025, enrollment of all patients was completed in the phase III clinical study of KN026 in combination with albumin-bound docetaxel HB1801 as neoadjuvant treatment for early or locally advanced HER2-positive BC. In September 2025, the NDA for KN026 in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic GC/GEJ who have failed at least one prior systemic therapy was accepted by the NMPA and received priority review status. In October 2025, the interim analysis results of the phase III clinical study of KN026 were presented as a late-breaking abstract (LBA) oral presentation at the 2025 ESMO Congress. KN026 demonstrated robust PFS and OS benefits in trastuzumab-pretreated patients with second- or third-line HER2-positive GC/GEJ, with the potential to change clinical guidelines for second-line and above GC treatment. In November 2025, the phase II clinical study results of KN026 in HER2-positive GC/GEJ were published in Cancer Communications . In December 2025, KN026 successfully passed the drug registration inspection (pharmaceutical) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliance inspection.

Registrational clinical study of JSKN033 as later‐line treatment for CC (all‐comer) will be initiated. JSKN022 JSKN022 is a bispecific single-domain antibody targeting both PD-L1 and integrin αvβ6, developed through antibody-directed evolution. It is conjugated via site-specific glycosylation to generate a homogeneous and stable ADC with a DAR of 4. Upon binding to PD-L1 and/or integrin αvβ6 on the surface of tumor cells, JSKN022 can release topoisomerase I inhibitors through cellular endocytosis, exerting anti-tumor effects. Additionally, JSKN022 blocks the binding of PD-L1 and PD-1, thereby activating antitumor immune responses. Simultaneously, by blocking integrin αvβ6, it inhibits the production of TGFB 1/3 and modulates the tumor immune microenvironment. Events during the Reporting Period In April 2025, preclinical data of JSKN022 were presented at the 2025 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting. Preclinical data demonstrate that JSKN022 exhibits potent antitumor activity in both in vitro and in vivo models against tumor cells expressing integrin αvβ6 and/or PD-L1. In October 2025, JSKN022 was approved by the CDE to initiate a phase I clinical study for the treatment of advanced malignant solid tumors, and the first patient was dosed in the same month. The study has now progressed to the sixth dose‐escalation cohort, with preliminary efficacy and favorable safety observed. Expected Milestones in 2026 (from Q2 2026) Dose escalation and dose expansion for JSKN022 will be completed. JSKN027 JSKN027 is a first-in-class bispecific ADC designed to co-engage PD-L1 and VEGFR2. By leveraging glycan-specific conjugation technology, it precisely links its cleavable linker and topoisomerase I inhibitor payload to the antibody's Fc region - maintaining a strong safety profile while unlocking potent anti-tumor activity. JSKN027's efficacy stems from a unique three-fold synergistic mechanism. Beyond the standard ADC effects of targeted cell killing and bystander activity, it also inhibits tumor angiogenesis by blocking VEGF/VEGFR2 signaling and reverses immune suppression by disrupting the PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint. This integrated attack enhances overall anti-tumor power and is anticipated to help overcome therapeutic resistance. Events after the Reporting Period In March 2026, JSKN027 was approved by the CDE to initiate a phase I clinical study for the treatment of advanced malignant solid tumors, and the first patient was dosed in the same month. Expected Milestones in 2026 (from Q2 2026) Dose escalation and dose expansion for JSKN027 will be completed. JSKN021 JSKN021 is a first-in-class dual payload ADC consisting of an EGFR/HER3 bispecific antibody conjugated with novel topoisomerase I inhibitor (T01) and Monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). Engineered with finely tuned binding avidity in both arms to address tumor heterogeneity while minimizing on-target, off-tumor toxicity, JSKN021 was designed for enhanced stability and improved homogeneity. It combines T01 (DAR 4) and MMAE (DAR 2) payloads to overcome non-response and resistance observed with single-payload treatment strategies. Events during the Reporting Period In April 2025, preclinical data of JSKN021 were presented at the 2025 AACR Annual Meeting. The data demonstrated that JSKN021 inhibited the growth of cancer cells with either HER3 or EGFR or both expressions. Furthermore, JSKN021 showed stronger tumor inhibition efficacy than mono payload ADCs in multiple CDX models. Events after the Reporting Period In March 2026, the IND application for JSKN021 for the treatment of advanced malignant solid tumors was accepted by the CDE. Expected Milestones in 2026 (from Q2 2026) Dose escalation for JSKN021 will be completed. KN046 KN046, a bispecific antibody (BsAb) immune checkpoint inhibitor, composed of a fusion of CTLA-4 and PD-L1 single domain antibody, engineered to target the tumor microenvironment with high PD-L1 expression. Multiple clinical trials of KN046 have been conducted in China, the United States and Australia. Events during the Reporting Period In February 2025, the results of phase II clinical study of KN046 in combination with lenvatinib for the treatment of advanced unresectable or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma were published in Nature Communications .

Malaysia's Leading Herbal Repair Cream Brand Jolicare Launches in Australia
MELBOURNE, Australia , March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For millions of Australians living with dry, itchy, and sensitive skin, the search for something that truly works is deeply personal. For many families, it is a challenge they navigate every single day. Jolicare, the herbal cream for lasting repair, is finally here in Australia. Jolicare , Malaysia's leading herbal repair cream brand, is here for them. Not to offer temporary relief, but to deliver lasting repair.

Jolicare Cream and Jolicare Lotion are now available at jolicare.au , bringing herbal solutions trusted by over 100,000 customers to Australian families for the very first time. "We didn't come to Australia to be just another option on the shelf. We came because we know what this product does for people, and Australians deserve access to it," said Caleb Wong , CEO of Jolicare. Why Australia, Why Now Two years ago, before Jolicare had any presence in Australia, someone there found us. Just one person, looking for something that worked. It did not stay that way. Since then, orders from Australia have only grown, even without a physical presence in the market. As the brand expanded across Malaysia and Singapore, enquiries from Australian families kept coming, many of them parents searching for a herbal alternative they could trust on their children's skin. "Our first customer from Australia came about two years ago. And the customers from Australia have only increased since, even without a physical presence there. So I think it's about time." Caleb said with a grin. "For a brand built on herbal, lasting repair for the whole family, Australia was not just an opportunity. It was a responsibility," he added. From One Cream to a National Record Founded in 2021, Jolicare started with a simple belief: that people with dry, itchy, and sensitive skin deserve more than temporary relief. The early years were not glamorous. The team was small, the challenges were real, and there were moments where the brand's survival was genuinely in question. But the product worked. And customers talked. In 2025, Jolicare was recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records for the "Most Skin Repair Creams Sold in a Year", a first in its category. Today, the brand has sold over 100,000 creams , earned more than 20,000 five-star reviews , and is stocked in over 1,000 retail stores nationwide, including Guardian and Watsons. "Jolicare was built with and for the people who needed it most. Every review they wrote, every friend they told, every pharmacy they walked into asking for us by name. That is what brought us here," said Caleb. Made with Purpose, for the Whole Family At the heart of every Jolicare product is a straightforward belief: what goes on your skin, and your family's, should never be a compromise. Jolicare Cream and Jolicare Lotion are formulated with 10+ Premium Herbs , and contain zero parabens and zero fragrances. Both are GMP-certified and independently lab-tested and verified by SGS and MyCO2. Gentle enough for young children, and designed from the ground up for lasting repair, not temporary relief. "Every ingredient in Jolicare is there for a reason. And everything that is not in it, the parabens, the fragrances, was left out for a reason too. We are not here to be the loudest brand. We are here to be the one that actually works," said Caleb. Jolicare Cream — the brand's flagship skin repair cream, formulated to deliver lasting repairs for dry, itchy, and sensitive skin. Trusted by families across Malaysia and Singapore, for everyone who needs it. Jolicare Lotion — a lighter, everyday formulation for daily hydration and skin barrier support. Gentle enough for the whole family, including young children.

Bybit Enhances AI Trading Skills Hub with Copy Trading, Advanced Bots, and Institutional-Grade Security Upgrades
DUBAI, UAE , March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit , the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today announced a major upgrade to its AI Trading Skills Hub , further advancing its vision of seamless, agentic trading. Building on the successful launch of AI Trading Skills, the latest enhancements introduce copy trading integration, expanded bot management capabilities, advanced algorithmic strategies, and a new dual-source verification security framework. The upgrade strengthens Bybit's position at the forefront of AI-powered trading by enabling users and AI agents to not only execute trades, but also replicate strategies, automate portfolio management, and interact with sophisticated execution algorithms — all through natural language. With this upgrade, Bybit AI Trading Skills Hub evolves from a powerful execution tool into a more comprehensive trading orchestration layer. Copy Trading Integration Users can now retrieve recommended lead traders directly through AI and seamlessly establish leader-follower relationships. This allows both new and experienced traders to mirror proven strategies with minimal effort, making professional-grade trading approaches more accessible. Advanced Bot Management The AI Trading Skills Hub now also supports full lifecycle management of trading bots. Users can create, close, and manage risk parameters — including take-profit, stop-loss, and trailing stop — across a wide range of bot strategies, including: Spot Grid Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) Futures Grid Futures Martingale Futures Combo Bots This enables AI agents to dynamically adjust strategies in response to market conditions, enhancing automation and precision. Algorithmic Strategy Trading A newly introduced suite of algorithmic execution tools brings institutional-grade strategies into the AI workflow. Supported strategies include: Chase Limit Orders Iceberg Orders Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) These execution methods allow users to minimize market impact, optimize entry and exit points, and execute large orders more efficiently — all through simple AI-driven instructions. Security Reinforced with Dual-Source Verification As AI-driven trading becomes more powerful, Bybit continues to prioritize security at the infrastructure level. The latest upgrade introduces a dual-source verification mechanism designed to mitigate supply chain attack risks. Relying on a single distribution source can expose users to vulnerabilities: A compromised code repository (e.g., GitHub) could distribute malicious files A compromised delivery channel (e.g., CDN or intermediary attack) could result in tampered data Bybit's dual-source verification requires consistency across two independent trust channels before execution. This significantly raises the barrier for malicious actors, who would need to compromise both systems simultaneously to inject harmful code. This enhancement reflects Bybit's commitment to safeguarding user interactions with AI agents, ensuring that automation does not come at the expense of security.

Samyang Corp. Introduces A High-Purity Crystalline Soluble Fiber 'Kestose' at Future Food-Tech San Francisco 2026
- Showcased features and application cases of 'Crystalline Kestose,' a soluble fiber containing over 99% fructooligosaccharides - Demonstrated sugar reduction and fiber fortification benefits, offering tasting samples of sports drink mix with Crystalline Kestose [1] SEOUL, South Korea , March 20 , 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Samyang corp. announced that it participated in Future Food-Tech San Francisco 2026 (FFT 2026), held on March 19–20 in San Francisco, California , where it unveiled its high-purity crystalline soluble fiber, Kestose, for the first time on the global stage. Samyang corp. presenting its high-purity crystalline soluble fiber, Kestose at Future Food-Tech 2026 FFT 2026 is a leading international conference that brings together global food companies, startups, investors, and research institutions to explore innovative technologies and emerging trends in the food industry. This year's event attracted more than 1,500 industry professionals from over 200 companies across 40 countries. At the conference, Samyang introduced its proprietary high-purity crystalline soluble fiber, Kestose, through a technical presentation. Dr. Hyerim Kim , Principal Researcher at Samyang corp., presented key insights on global dietary fiber trends, as well as the physico-chemical properties, functional benefits, and category-specific application cases of Crystalline Kestose. Kestose is a type of fructooligosaccharide (FOS), a prebiotic ingredient that serves as a nutrient source for beneficial gut bacteria. [1] Unlike conventional liquid or powder-type dietary fiber ingredients, Kestose is distinguished by its crystalline form. Developed based on Samyang's proprietary technology, it exhibits low hygroscopicity, minimizing clumping, and offers fast dissolution. These physical properties enable easy application across a wide range of products, including confectionery and powdered beverages. Crystalline Kestose also offers differentiated nutritional benefits. Containing over 99% fructooligosaccharides, it supports dietary fiber intake while delivering approximately 30% of the sweetness of sugar, with sugar content as low as around 1%. [1] This enables manufacturers to achieve both sugar reduction and fiber fortification without compromising sweetness. As a result, Crystalline Kestose is well-suited for use in high-value, nutrition-focused products such as snack bars, yogurt, protein beverages, and dietary supplements. During the conference, Samyang corp. also offered tasting samples of sports drink mix with Crystalline Kestose, engaging with global food companies and industry stakeholders to explore potential applications and collaboration opportunities. "FFT 2026 marked the first global introduction of our high-purity crystalline soluble fiber, Kestose," said Jung-Sook Han , Head of Samyang corporation's Food R&D Center. "We will continue to strengthen our R&D capabilities in functional food ingredients, expand partnerships with global food companies, and enhance our competitiveness in the global market." Meanwhile, Samyang corp. is accelerating its expansion into the global specialty ingredients market by strengthening R&D in products such as the alternative sweetener allulose and functional dietary fiber resistant dextrin.

Global Times: Fresh stories from the fields: Why does watermelon stay sweet all year round?
BEIJING , March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "We will diversify our food supply by advancing crop farming, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries in tandem." "Initiatives will be advanced to invigorate the seed industry, and faster moves will be taken to identify and cultivate ground-breaking seed varieties and promote their use. We will promote the R&D and application of appropriate, advanced agricultural machinery and equipment, and see that agricultural technologies reach the fields and farmers." This year's Government Work Report has laid out key arrangements for work related to agriculture, rural areas and farmers. Across China's farmlands, new technologies, new crop varieties and new production scenarios are emerging one after another. Starting today, this page launches a new series, "Fresh Stories from the Fields," focusing on new developments and trends in agriculture — from watermelon breeding to unmanned farms — highlighting the latest achievements and the vibrant vitality taking shape in the countryside. At the Liguo Shunxin Supermarket in Jiaxiang County, East China's Shandong Province , rows of round, plump watermelons stand out on the shelves. Around noon, customers stream in continuously, with some picking up whole watermelons while others ask store staff to cut them open and sell them by weight. China is the world's largest producer and consumer of watermelons, with annual output remaining stable at around 60 million tons. According to statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, this accounts for roughly 60 percent of global production. Following the sweet story behind China's seemingly effortless "watermelon freedom," reporters explored how the fruit is supplied steadily throughout the year. Strong demand, reliable quality At the Liguo Shunxin Supermarket, "Mibao" watermelons grown in Southwest China's Yunnan Province sell for more than 4.99 yuan ($0.72) per jin (500 grams). "Even though the price is higher than in summer, sales remain strong," said supermarket manager Zhang Hongtao, pointing to a staff member restocking the display. Over the past half month, the store has maintained daily watermelon sales of more than 160 jin with weekend sales exceeding 240 jin. Zhang Hongtao has observed that during the off-season, customers usually buy smaller quantities at a time, but they purchase watermelons frequently and show strong willingness to buy them. Ms Zhang, who was selecting a watermelon, is one such regular customer. "Watermelons are juicy and sweet without being overwhelming. Both the elderly and children in my family love them," she said with a smile. "It was still cold recently, but sitting at home with the heater on and eating watermelon feels just as refreshing as having a cold drink in summer." The steady demand during the off-season is not only driven by consumers' taste preferences and emotional appeal, but also by reliable product quality. To ensure optimal flavor, the supermarket stores watermelons in refrigerated display cabinets, where they can remain in good condition for seven to ten days. "Some customers worry that the watermelons might not be ripe enough during this period, so we also offer a service where they can cut one open to check before purchasing," Zhang Hongtao said. At the Hushan Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market in Jiaxiang Street, Jiaxiang County, Shandong , 10 tons of watermelons freshly shipped from a production base in South China's Hainan Province were being unloaded. Li Jianguo , who has been in the watermelon wholesale business for more than a decade, explained that during spring and summer the market mainly sells locally grown varieties such as "Tianwang" and "Jingxin." When temperatures drop, supply relies largely on southern production areas. These varieties typically have thicker rinds for transportation, accumulate sufficient sugar, and maintain stable flavor, Li said. The strong off-season market is also reflected in price trends. "Watermelon supply and prices show clear seasonal patterns," said Zhao Junye, a researcher at the Agricultural Information Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS). After October each year, watermelon supply begins to decline and prices gradually rise. In the first quarter, the national average wholesale price generally exceeds 3 yuan per jin. After April, supply increases significantly and prices fall rapidly. By the third quarter, when northern production regions harvest in large volumes, prices usually reach their lowest levels of the year, Zhao said. Sufficient supply across seasons Hainan island, with abundant heat and sunlight, is one of China's major winter production bases for fruits and vegetables. At the Beishanyang planting base in Haitang district of Sanya, Hainan Province , the watermelon harvest has already been completed. "With good varieties and good packaging, sales are also strong," said Zhang Wei , head of the base and deputy general manager of Hainan State Farms Shenquan Group Co, noting that the base grows seedless Qilin watermelons with bright red flesh, crisp texture and rich sweetness, with their sugar content reaching 14 degrees, making them highly popular in the market. To deliver this cross-season sweetness to consumers far away, careful work goes into packaging at the fields. Workers carefully select watermelons and pack them into specially designed corrugated cartons. Each box holds four watermelons weighing between 10 and 12 jin each, separated by thick cardboard partitions. According to Zhang Wei , watermelons shipped to other regions of China currently only require moderate insulation during transport and do not need cold-chain logistics. Watermelons grown at the base are mainly supplied to supermarkets in Shandong , Beijing and northeastern China . The market price of about 4 yuan per jin is higher than the previous range of 2.8 to 3.5 yuan per jin in past years. Zhang Wei said the base expanded its planting area to 500 mu (33.33 hectares) last year, with yields of about 5,000 jin per mu. "The melons were already fully booked before they were harvested," he said. To accommodate watermelons' preference for warmth and sunlight while protecting them from excessive rain, the base has built greenhouses that shield the crops from wind and rain while maintaining stable temperature and heat. Drip irrigation systems and monitoring equipment have also been introduced to create an optimal microclimate for watermelon growth. So what is the secret behind year-round watermelon supply? Xu Yong , a researcher at the Beijing Vegetable Research Center of the Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences, explained that China's vast territory provides diverse geographical and climatic advantages. Combined with the development of suitable varieties and the widespread application of technologies such as integrated water and fertilizer management, and green pest control, suitable environments for watermelon growth can be found in different regions across different seasons, according to Xu. Currently, China's watermelon production is concentrated in five major regions. The Yangtze River Basin and the Huang-Huai-Hai region account for more than 69 percent of total output, while South China , Northwest China and Northeast China play supporting roles. In terms of year-round supply, South China provides winter production, the Yangtze River Basin and Huang-Huai-Hai region enable early spring harvests, the northwest region extends the harvest season later into the year, and open-field cultivation in the northeast and northwest regions ensures summer and autumn supply. Molecular breeding yields diverse watermelons In Yanjiacun village of Yaojia Town, Zhongmu County in Central China's Henan Province , farmer Ma Xiuhong manages 2 mu of greenhouse land. In addition to conventional varieties, she reserves half a mu to grow "rainbow watermelons." These days, she has been busy transplanting newly cultivated seedlings into the soil. The "rainbow watermelon" she refers to is a new specialty variety developed in recent years by the Zhengzhou Fruit Research Institute of the CAAS. When cut open, the melon reveals red and yellow dual-colored flesh arranged like a rainbow. It is also highly sweet, crisp in texture, and rich in beta-carotene. "This variety was developed by crossing a high-sugar red-flesh watermelon with a crisp yellow-flesh watermelon and selecting superior offspring," explained Zhao Shengjie, an associate researcher at the Zhengzhou institute. To meet consumers' increasingly personalized preferences, China's watermelon breeding has continuously followed market trends. Xu said watermelon varieties in China are now highly diverse. In terms of maturity, they include early, mid-early and late-maturing types. In size, they range from large and medium to small watermelons. In flesh color, they include red, yellow, orange and multicolored varieties, Xu said. "Jingmei 2K ," a variety bred by Xu's team with an average weight of about 4 jin per fruit, has become China's most widely planted small watermelon variety and better fits current consumer demand. Behind this diversity lies the " China sweetness" brought by nation's scientific breeding. China's watermelon breeding technology ranks among the world's leading group, with domestic varieties accounting for more than 98 percent of the market. High quality has become the standard in the domestic market. As early as 2012, Xu's team completed the world's first watermelon genome map, opening the "black box" of watermelon genetics. The research identified multiple genes resistant to diseases such as fusarium wilt, anthracnose and powdery mildew, and also clarified the genetic functions related to fruit sugar content, size and shape. "In recent years, we have adopted advanced molecular breeding methods," Xu said. "By combining desirable genes through molecular markers, we have greatly improved breeding efficiency, precision and target orientation, shortening the breeding cycle from seven to ten years to just three to four years." Looking ahead, what direction will watermelon breeding take? Xu explained that production still faces challenges such as increasingly frequent extreme weather and the emergence of new plant diseases. At the same time, consumers are demanding higher standards in both flesh color and fruit quality. As a result, further exploration of genes for disease resistance, environmental tolerance and superior quality is still needed. This will continue to improve watermelon resilience and quality while expanding the range of varieties. "In particular, high-quality medium and small watermelons with diverse flesh colors are likely to become a highlight of future watermelon varieties," Xu said. This was compiled from an article originally published on the tenth page of the People's Daily on March 17,2026 .

TATU CITY, Kenya, March 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rendeavour , Africa's new city builder, and Wellington College Education , a leading British educational network, will open a co-educational day and boarding school for 1,500 students aged 3-18 in Tatu City , Kenya. Opening in September 2028, Wellington College International Kenya will attract students and parents from Kenya, across Africa, and around the world to an unparalleled British education in the heart of the continent's leading new city. L-R: James Dahl, 15th Master of Wellington College, and Stephen Jennings, CEO and Founder of Rendeavour, owner and developer of Tatu City, during the official announcement of Wellington College International Kenya, a global British school that will open in Tatu City, Kenya, in September 2028. Wellington College International Kenya is the second school in Africa to come out of the partnership between Wellington College Education and Rendeavour. Wellington College International Lagos is located in Alaro City, Tatu City's sister city in Nigeria. By replicating the success of the Wellington College International Lagos campus at Alaro City, Rendeavour is creating a Pan-African network of education excellence that bridges West and East Africa.

The state-of-the-art school further underpins the success of Tatu City, which has attracted USD 3.5 billion of investment to Kenya and created more than 30,000 new jobs in the last five years. Wellington College International Kenya will follow the rigorous English National Curriculum, culminating in the challenging A-level programme, as well as offering coaching and teaching excellence in sports, music, and the arts. As part of the global Wellington College Education family, students at Wellington College International Kenya will benefit from connections with sister schools across Europe and Asia, including opportunities for collaboration, shared academic initiatives, and international programmes. On graduation, pupils will join the Old Wellingtonian alumni network, offering lifelong links to an established global community. James Dahl, 15th Master, Wellington College, said, "The launch of Wellington College International Kenya is a moment of great pride for our global family of schools. For our new partners in Kenya, this interconnectivity will provide immediate access to the vibrancy, talent, and experience of our entire community." Stephen Jennings, Founder and CEO of Rendeavour, said, "Receiving a top British education no longer requires sending children to the United Kingdom. Wellington College International Kenya offers a blend of academic rigour and extra-curricular activities and amenities found only at Tatu City and in Kenya, one of the most beautiful countries on earth. Kenya is on many families' 'bucket list' of life goals and experiences, and now they can also consider relocating to Kenya and Tatu City for access to one of the best education experiences in the world." Sir Anthony Seldon, Founding Director, Wellington College Education, said, "Today's announcement of Wellington College International Kenya marks a transformative moment for education in East Africa. Wellington College's pioneering work at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Human Flourishing, developed in close partnership with the OECD, offers a model of schooling that is both deeply humane and boldly future-facing."

[MWC 2026] GlobalData Releases a White Paper on Voice Evolution in the AI Era
BARCELONA, Spain, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At MWC 2026, Andy Hicks, Senior Principal Analyst for GlobalData, released the white paper Reinventing Voice: A Converged, AI-Enabled, and Multimodal Voice Core for the Next Generation of Telecommunications. The white paper highlights that in the AI era, operators can leverage a fully converged voice network to innovate AI services and redefine the value of voice services. Andy Hicks releasing voice evolution white paper at MWC 2026 Fully Converged Voice Network: The Optimal Choice for Operators Managing Multi-Generation NetworksAs 5G-A accelerates, the evolution of global network standards remains uneven. Although 2G and 3G networks are reaching their end of life, some operators are required to maintain them to support essential services like M2M communication and international roaming. In this context, a fully converged voice network capable of handling 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G services is becoming essential for operators. Such a network addresses the operational challenges posed by lifecycle issues and sets the stage for seamless future evolution. Facing the global shift towards containerization, the fully converged architecture facilitates a smooth transition from VMs to containers. This approach allows operators to lower their TCO while sustaining continuous innovation and agile updates to voice services. AI + Voice: Transforming Operators' Voice Value in Three StagesThe rapid advancement of AI presents new opportunities for voice service innovation. Andy Hicks believes that the deep integration of AI and voice can be achieved through three key stages. First, AI is utilized to improve the basic call experience and create a competitive edge over OTT applications. Typical examples include intelligent noise suppression and enhanced spatial audio immersion, elevating calls to a more sophisticated level of communication. Next, AI is integrated into audio channels to introduce innovative features like real-time translation and intelligent call summaries. These services do not impose additional requirements on terminals. Operators can quickly deploy these services to gain a first-mover advantage in AI-driven voice innovations. Finally, AI is integrated into video and data channels to advance voice innovation from single-modal to multimodal, enabling services like interactive customer support and healthcare assistants, and realizing the concept of Call-as-a-Service. Andy Hicks stressed that operators should capitalize on the opportunities presented by AI. By leveraging a fully converged voice network as a foundation, they can foster service innovation and fully rejuvenate the core value of voice services, driven by the dual advancements of 5G-A and AI.

Pew Awards Fellowships to Seven Scientists Advancing Marine Conservation
Leading researchers join esteemed global community of fellows PHILADELPHIA , March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The global ocean faces major threats—from illegal fishing to vanishing coastal habitats to plastic pollution. Now, a new cohort of scientists will work to bridge the knowledge gaps hindering effective ocean protections. The Pew Charitable Trusts announced today that seven fellows—based in Australia, the United States, Canada, Japan, and Thailand—will receive $150,000 grants over three years to pursue conservation-focused research aimed at strengthening ocean health and the communities that depend on it. Their work includes tracing illegal and unreported fisheries with advanced genetic techniques, improving reef restoration in Southeast Asia, mapping climate resilient kelp forests, testing local-based incentives for marine conservation, rethinking fisheries governance in East Asia, analyzing the impacts of harmful algal blooms, and developing open-source technology to classify nanoplastic pollution. This year's fellows' cohort also includes the first recipient of the Pew-Gerstner Fellowship in Ocean Plastics Research, which supports research on solutions to marine plastic pollution; and the second recipient of the Pew-Hoover Fellowship in Marine and Biomedical Science, which fosters innovative research at the intersection of the two fields. "These fellows are tackling some of the ocean's toughest challenges with creativity and immense dedication," said Leo Curran, project director for the Pew Fellows Program in Marine Conservation. "Their work shows what's possible when science, technology, and communities come together to protect our seas." The 2026 fellows join a distinguished community of more than 200 Pew marine fellow alumni dedicated to advancing ocean science and promoting the sustainable use of marine resources. The Pew Fellows Program in Marine Conservation supports midcareer scientists and other experts selected by an international panel of leaders in marine science and conservation. Alumni form an active community that promotes collaboration and knowledge sharing worldwide. "Seeing these scientists turn their ideas into action is what excites me most," said Angela Bednarek, Pew's director of scientific advancement. "They're exploring new approaches, testing innovative tools, and working closely with communities and policymakers, bringing research to life in ways that could shape how we care for the oceans." The 2026 fellows are: Suchana Apple Chavanich, Ph.D. Chulalongkorn University, Thailand Suchana Apple Chavanich will develop and apply innovative methods to advance reef restoration in Southeast Asia, a region with some of the world's richest coral diversity. Working in Thailand, Chavanich will refine techniques for producing new corals through sexual propagation and banking frozen coral sperm and eggs—critical methods for preserving the genetic health of restored populations. Andrés Cisneros-Montemayor, Ph.D. Simon Fraser University, Canada Andrés Cisneros-Montemayor will develop a replicable framework to identify the social connections that shape markets in the ocean economy, facilitating the design and implementation of local-scale incentives for conservation. Working with three fishing communities in Sonora, Mexico, Cisneros-Montemayor will apply this framework, conducting field interviews and community engagement workshops to map and understand the layered interactions that influence economic decision-making. Win Cowger, Ph.D. Pew-Gerstner Fellow in Ocean Plastics Research Win Cowger will enhance the capabilities of Open Specy, an open-source tool he developed to help researchers worldwide classify and analyze different types of plastic pollution. He will build a robust reference library and develop new algorithms to improve the identification of nanoplastics, small microplastics, and plastic leachates in the marine environment. Nur Arafeh-Dalmau, Ph.D. University of Queensland, Australia Nur Arafeh-Dalmau will collaborate with partners in California, Mexico, Peru, and Argentina to identify and map resilient kelp forest ecosystems. Using satellite imagery, ecological surveys, and environmental DNA, Arafeh-Dalmau will analyze biodiversity patterns in persistent kelp forests and test their resilience to marine heat waves. Matthew Gribble, Ph.D. Pew-Hoover Fellow in Marine and Biomedical Science University of California, San Francisco, United States Matthew Gribble will apply an advanced statistical technique called a hidden Markov model to better understand the dynamics of toxin-producing algal blooms. His work will focus on southeast Alaska, where Alaska Native communities have been repeatedly affected by harmful algal blooms, and Andalucia, Spain. Gribble will determine how often areas have been exposed to algal blooms in the past, supporting insights into the health effects of harmful algal toxin exposure. Shaili Johri, Ph.D. Stanford University, United States Shaili Johri will use advanced genetic tools to strengthen seafood traceability and combat illegal fishing. By analyzing fine-scale differences in individual animals' DNA, her research will help pinpoint the geographic origins of traded species. Focusing on reef sharks, Johri will develop low-cost, rapid, and accurate genetic and visual identification methods to identify shark fishing hot spots across the Western Indian Ocean and detect instances of illegal fishing. Namhee Kwon, Ph.D. Kansai University, Japan Namhee Kwon will analyze the effectiveness and limitations of existing agreements in managing shared fish stocks, with the goal of identifying institutional and legal reforms that are both politically viable and ecologically sustainable. Focusing on agreements among South Korea, Japan, and China, Kwon will examine the legal architecture of each agreement, obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and implementation of these agreements within each country's domestic system.

The Company stated that the swift commencement of this first tranche delivery from co-investors fully demonstrates that the core investors' commitment to the Company is not merely an expression of intent but a tangible capital action, showcasing their firm resolve to progress alongside the Company and pursue shared long-term development. Injection of First Tranche Assets to Empower Company Development Across Multiple Dimensions The upcoming injection of $30 million in assets is expected to positively impact the Company across several dimensions: 1. Significantly Enhancing Liquidity Reserves and Improving Financial Safety Margins The newly injected assets will directly supplement the Company's liquidity reserves, strengthen its financial safety cushion, and provide greater financial resilience and risk resistance in the face of industry cyclical fluctuations, supply chain cost adjustments, and macroeconomic uncertainties. Ample liquidity will provide solid support for daily operations, ensuring the stability and continuity of core businesses. 2.

Optimizing and Integrating Supply Chain Systems: The Company will strengthen strategic coordination with core suppliers, optimize procurement cost structures, improve inventory turnover rates and order fulfillment capabilities, and enhance supply chain stability and cost advantages. Supporting High-Potential Business Segments: Concentrating resources on regional markets and specialized business lines with strong profitability and growth potential to create new engines for medium-to-long-term performance growth. 3. Optimizing Capital Structure and Enhancing Financial Flexibility As an equity capital injection, these assets will help reduce the Company's reliance on interest-bearing debt, optimize its asset-liability structure, and improve financial leverage levels, providing greater flexibility for potential future mergers and acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and further capital market activities. Strong Confidence and Continued Support Company management stated: "The upcoming delivery of the co-investors' first tranche of $30 million in assets is another significant endorsement of the Company's development by our core investors, following the controlling shareholder's completion of the previous $7 million investment.

Seveno Capital Invests in PointFit as Next-Generation Wearable Patch Signals a Break from Traditional Wearable Devices
Investment in PointFit anchors Seveno's Hong Kong expansion and marks first deal led by new Partner Jean-Baptiste Roy HONG KONG, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Seveno Capital has announced a strategic investment in PointFit, a company developing a skin patch wearable for non-invasive and real-time biomarker monitoring through sweat, valuing the business at US $10 million, in a move that underscores growing investor conviction in next-generation wearable technology that goes beyond existing heart-rate wearable devices. Allen Law, Principal at Seveno Capital (Left), Kenny Oktavius, Co-Founder and CEO of PointFit (Middle), Jean-Baptiste Roy, Partner at Seveno Capital (Right) The transaction reflects Seveno Capital's strategy of backing globally scalable healthspan platforms emerging from Asia, while actively evaluating investment opportunities across North America and Europe. PointFit represents a fundamental shift in health monitoring, moving the category away from devices that infer physiology through proxies such as heart rate and motion, towards direct, continuous biological measurement captured at the skin. PointFit, a Hong Kong-based startup incubated at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), has developed its first product for Continuous Lactate Monitoring (CLM), enabling users to understand fatigue, endurance and recovery in real time without invasive blood tests or time-consuming laboratory analysis. Its modular platform design supports future platform expansion beyond its initial endurance focus. While biomarker data has long been used in elite sport and clinical research, access has historically been confined to invasive, intrusive and controlled environments. By translating laboratory-grade physiological insight into a wearable format, PointFit expands access to continuous biomarker intelligence beyond elite performance settings. The US $10 million valuation marks a significant milestone for PointFit, validating both the pace of its technical progress and the scale of the market opportunity ahead. While PointFit's initial focus is endurance-biomarkers (eg: lactate, electrolytes, sweat rate) monitoring, the company is building toward a broader platform that can track multiple diagnostic biomarkers, enabling future applications across performance, metabolic health, and longevity-focused care. Analysts project the global wearable market will double to a US$200 billion Total Addressable Market (TAM) by 2030, driven by a massive consumer shift from basic activity tracking to clinical-grade biological data. Within this, PointFit is strategically positioned to capture a US$15 billion Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM) of tens of millions of dedicated endurance athletes seeking real-time physiological optimisation. PointFit has successfully carried out demos with global sports federations, teams, technologies, retailers and fitness equipment manufacturers. As the company enters its commercialisation phase, Seveno Capital will supercharge PointFit's integration with key industry stakeholders internationally, including in the United States. Recent product showcases in Indiana and participation in the Startup World Cup Finale in Silicon Valley have strengthened its engagement with North America's sports and venture ecosystems. PointFit is also supported by Creative Destruction Lab, a global science-based accelerator, further reinforcing its international scaling trajectory. PointFit's international profile accelerated at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, where the company received a CES Innovation Award in Digital Health, placing it among the most closely watched emerging sports technology companies in the United States. Seveno Capital views PointFit's progress as reflective of the evolving global fitness and wellness industry, increasingly shaped by Asian innovation and capital. A recent example of this trend is Anta Sports' acquisition of a 29 per cent stake in iconic German sportswear brand Puma in January 2026, a transaction widely seen as a signal of cross-border consolidation driven from Asia, as global fitness, performance, and lifestyle brands seek scale, technology, and new growth platforms. Against this backdrop, Seveno Capital believes PointFit is well-positioned to emerge as a globally relevant health-monitoring platform, leveraging Hong Kong's role as a gateway between Asian capital, international markets, and elite performance ecosystems. Inaugural Investment from Seveno Capital's Hong Kong Platform The PointFit investment is Singapore-based Seveno Capital's first transaction since opening a new office in Hong Kong. Hong Kong will serve as a base for sourcing, backing and scaling globally relevant technologies at the intersection of performance, prevention and longevity. Seveno Capital is a global venture platform investing in human healthspan. The firm evaluates opportunities worldwide and supports its portfolio companies in scaling across major international markets, including Asia, Europe, the Gulf and the United States. Seveno continues to assess investment opportunities in US-based startups, reflecting the scale and strategic importance of the North American health and sports technology market. The investment is the inaugural deal led by Jean-Baptiste Roy, who has joined Seveno Capital as Partner to expand the firm's international scope and deepen its focus on performance-led, data-driven technologies. Roy brings extensive experience in sports technology and human performance investing, strengthening Seveno Capital's ability to identify and scale category-defining platforms with global potential. Allen Law, Principal at Seveno Capital, said: "PointFit represents the next generation of health platforms, turning real-time biomarker data into everyday behavioural insight. This is where preventive health is heading - away from occasional testing and toward continuous understanding of the human body. At Seveno Capital, we back technologies that can define new global categories and help build the foundation for longer, stronger lives." Jean-Baptiste Roy, Partner at Seveno Capital, said: "Seveno is building the infrastructure that makes healthspan extension real, and Hong Kong gives us a powerful base to scale globally with unique access to Asia. PointFit brings biomarker visibility that was once limited to elite laboratories into the hands of athletes and everyday users, which is exactly the kind of platform we believe can scale internationally. And I am excited to bring this innovation to everyone from amateur to professional athletes, to train safely and more accurately." Kenny Oktavius, Co-Founder and CEO of PointFit, said: "Seveno's vision of 'adding life to years' mirrors our belief that the future of healthcare is preventive and personalised. With Seveno's global network across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, we can accelerate the rollout of the PF-Sweat Patch from elite sports into broader consumer adoption. Together, we are bridging wellness and clinical care so everyone can understand their body's signals and take control of their healthspan."

US Federal Court Dismisses All Claims Against Binance in Anti - Terrorism Lawsuit
Court rejects allegations that Binance assisted, participated in, or conspired with terrorists. This represents a decisive legal dismissal of all claims. ABU DHABI, UAE, March 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by registered users, announced today that a U.S. federal court in the Southern District of New York has dismissed all claims brought against the company under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA). The lawsuit involved 535 plaintiffs who alleged that Binance provided material support related to 64 terrorist attacks. In a 62-page decision, the Court found that plaintiffs failed to establish any of their central allegations: that Binance assisted terrorists, that Binance associated itself with terrorist attacks, that Binance participated in or sought to advance those attacks, or that Binance engaged in any conspiracy with terrorist organizations. "This dismissal is a complete vindication of all false allegations," said Eleanor Hughes, Binance's General Counsel. "The court has unambiguously rejected the false and damaging narrative that Binance assisted terrorists. We have always maintained that these claims were without merit, and today's ruling confirms that. We will continue to defend ourselves aggressively against any litigation or reporting that misrepresents who we are and how we operate." A Full and Complete Legal Victory The Court's decision to dismiss all claims — across every allegation, represents a decisive legal victory. While the Court has allowed plaintiffs 60 days to file an amended complaint in light of a recent appellate decision, Binance is confident that no amended pleading will be able to cure the fundamental deficiencies the Court identified. The underlying claims have been thoroughly examined and rejected. Commitment to Compliance and Legal Integrity Binance has consistently invested in industry-leading compliance infrastructure, regulatory engagement, and legal governance. Today's ruling affirms that Binance's operations do not support, facilitate, or enable terrorism in any form. The company will continue to engage constructively with regulators worldwide, operate within established legal frameworks, and pursue vigorous legal action where necessary to correct false and misleading narratives about its business. About Binance Binance is a leading global blockchain ecosystem behind the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and registered users. Binance is trusted by more than 310 million people in 100+ countries for its industry-leading security, transparency, and unmatched portfolio of digital asset products.

"With CAMON 50 Ultra 5G, TECNO places a strong emphasis on natural and inclusive skin tone rendering in portrait photography, powered by its proprietary Universal Tone technology," commented Frédéric Guichard, CEO of DXOMARK, "The DXOMARK Insights study conducted in the critical and diverse market of Saudi Arabia, involving real end users representing a broad spectrum of globally common skin tones, confirms that its bright and engaging image style, with a well-balanced white balance, closely matches how users naturally see and experience the scene. This is further enabled by the CAMON 50 Ultra 5G's HDR photo capabilities, delivering a wide dynamic range that remains rare in this price segment. Combined, these strengths make the CAMON 50 Ultra stand out as a compelling choice for accurate and inclusive skin tone rendering under $600." New DXOMARK Research Reveals Portrait Leadership The 2026 Riyadh Insights study by DXOMARK, fielded in Saudi Arabia, engaged total of 75 local consumers, coupled with a diverse panel of skin tone models representing a spectrum from light to deep complexions. This research evaluated four smartphones through the analysis of more than 40,000 photo comparisons. CAMON 50 Ultra 5G ranked among the most preferred devices across all tested scenes – indoor, outdoor, low-light and night. When placed alongside ultra-premium smartphones priced well above its segment, it was favored for more radiant and pleasing skin tones, an advantage driven by higher facial brightness, precise color rendering and exceptionally well-balanced white balance. Universal Tone technology not only meets flagship standards; it is often preferred for its brighter, more flattering portraits. TECNO CAMON 50 Ultra 5G (left) vs. competitor (right): Precise color accuracy and balanced exposure in daylight, matching flagship-level performance. Against a device renowned for its clinical color fidelity—long considered an industry benchmark for accuracy— CAMON 50 Ultra 5G delivered equivalent levels of accuracy, yet with rendering that users described as more vivid and true-to-life, striking a balance that devices focused solely on clinical precision often miss. Indoor photography emerged as CAMON 50 Ultra 5G's clear stronghold. While competitors struggle with warm, uneven or mixed artificial lighting, the CAMON stood out decisively: It got the highest satisfaction index level among others, and 63% of consumers preferred it over all other tested smartphones in indoor scenes. Users consistently praised its ability to preserve luminous, faithful skin tones under complex lighting – a direct result of Universal Tone's capacity to separate subject from lighting noise and keep skin tones the focal point of every frame. TECNO CAMON 50 Ultra 5G (left) vs. competitor (right): Universal Tone technology delivers more accurate, radiant skin tones in indoor lighting. Across all key metrics, including multi-skin tone accuracy, user preference, facial brightness and white balance control, the CAMON 50 Ultra 5G ranked highest in its price category. DXOMARK Insights data confirms its imaging performance extends well beyond its price segment, delivering flagship-grade quality at a fraction of the cost and making premium portrait photography accessible to a far wider audience, redefining what users can expect from a sub-$600 smartphone. TECNO Universal Tone: A Continuing Commitment to Inclusive Imaging Since launching Universal Tone technology in 2023, TECNO has championed the belief that every skin tone deserves accurate, beautifully representation. What began as a commitment to end skin tone bias in mobile imaging has evolved into the industry's most advanced full-spectrum skin tone rendering system, powered by a proprietary 372 skin tone database developed with color science experts from leading global universities. True to its "Glocalization" strategy, TECNO partners with academic institutions worldwide to tailor imaging algorithms to regional diversity. From Saudi Arabia to Southeast Asia, these collaborations capture local skin tone spectra, lighting conditions, and cultural perceptions of authenticity, turning subjective ideals of "real" into measurable, industry-applicable standards. With Universal Tone at its core, CAMON 50 Ultra 5G brings this vision to life: capturing people of all ethnicities and complexions not just correctly, but with radiance and respect. For consumers, this means clearer, more authentic images in which their own skin tones and individuality are accurately reflected, transforming everyday photography into a more confident and joyful experience.

Basecare Medical (HK.2170) Receives NMPA Approval for Core Product Geri Medium, Unlocking New Opportunities in Assisted Reproduction
SUZHOU, China, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Basecare Medical (02170.HK) has recently encountered a key catalyst——its Gems one-step embryo culture medium has officially obtained the China Class III Medical Device Registration Certificate (National Medical Products Administration Registration No. 20253180071). This represents a core signal of the company's strategic transformation implementation and accelerated domestic substitution layout, and is expected to become an important driver for its valuation repair, warranting close attention. From a market logic perspective, the approval of this product essentially serves as Basecare's "entry ticket" into the vast blue ocean of the multi-billion-yuan assisted reproductive consumables market. The underlying product strength and market foundation determine the certainty of its subsequent performance delivery, which serves as the core starting point for our analysis of its investment value. I. Product Strength: Backed by Internationally Mature Assets, Market Competitiveness Need Not Be Overly Concerning Unlike the model of many domestic enterprises involving "R&D from scratch and long-term investment," Basecare's Gems culture medium was acquired as an internationally mature asset – a particularly crucial point. Its technology originates from world-leading assisted reproductive institutions, was developed under the guidance of the "Father of Culture Media," has undergone 12 years of clinical validation, has helped bring tens of thousands of healthy babies into the world, and has received certifications from multiple regions including the US FDA, European CE, and Australian TGA. Its technological barriers are clear, placing it in the top tier of the industry. First, R&D risk is eliminated. By acquiring a mature product directly, Basecare has bypassed years of R&D investment and the uncertainty of potential R&D failure, enabling rapid product implementation and market launch, thus shortening the performance delivery cycle. This is a significant advantage for a target with clear expectations for performance improvement. Second, an existing market foundation is in place. This product was previously authorized for sale by COOK in China, where it has captured 40% of the domestic market share. This means its market acceptance has been fully validated. After Basecare takes over, it can rapidly achieve market penetration without needing to re-cultivate the market, converting the existing market share into its own revenue, providing clear support for performance increment. Third, demand side exhibits rigidity. Clinical data shows that this product can increase the rate of high-quality embryos by 46%, effectively improving the pregnancy success rate for older couples and reducing miscarriage rates. With domestic demand for fertility at an advanced age continuously rising and the volume of assisted reproductive treatments growing steadily, hospitals' rigid demand for high-quality consumables provides stable support for the product's subsequent sales, mitigating concerns about demand falling short of expectations. II. Industry Analysis: Domestic Substitution + Policy Dividends, Sector Prosperity Continues to Rise "Sector prosperity" serves as a core dimension for assessing a target's long-term value. The assisted reproduction sector in which Basecare operates is currently at the intersection of two major trends: "accelerated domestic substitution + release of policy dividends." The industry's prosperity is continuously rising, forming the core logic for its long-term investment value. Previously, the domestic embryo culture medium market was long dominated by overseas giants, characterized not only by relatively high prices but also by supply shortage risks due to international supply chain fluctuations. The need for domestic substitution was urgent. The approval of Basecare's related product marks a significant breakthrough in the domestic substitution of high-end embryo culture media, precisely aligning with the broader trend of domestic substitution for medical devices in China, offering inherent policy advantages. Firstly, policy dividends are continuously increasing. The national level persistently promotes fertility support policies. The gradual inclusion of assisted reproductive technology in medical insurance and the implementation of childcare subsidies directly boost the volume of assisted reproductive treatments, thereby driving demand for related consumables. This provides clear policy support for Basecare's product sales, ensuring a stable demand side for the industry. Secondly, product competitiveness holds differentiated advantages. Compared to imported products, Basecare's domestically produced version offers higher cost-effectiveness. It can also be paired with the company's already approved supporting equipment, providing hospitals with a one-stop solution. This synergistic advantage can effectively enhance market competitiveness, accelerate the import substitution process, and seize market share from overseas giants. Thirdly, revenue growth has clear expectations. Referring to the product's previous sales performance in China, if fully rolled out subsequently, it is expected to bring stable revenue increments to Basecare, becoming a new engine for the company's performance growth. This also serves as a core catalytic factor for short-term performance improvement. III. Company Transformation: Full-Chain Layout Realized, Valuation Reassessment Holds Imaginative Potential From the perspective of the company's development logic, this product approval serves as a key marker of Basecare's strategic transformation implementation. Previously, the company mainly focused on the preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) business, with a relatively single business scope and weaker risk resistance capability. Through the acquisition of relevant international brands, the company has successfully opened up the full-chain layout of "Testing + Equipment + Consumables," completing its transformation from a single IVD (in vitro diagnostics) enterprise to a full-chain IVF service provider, further improving its business matrix. Post-transformation, Basecare can not only provide testing services but also sell products such as embryo culture media and culture equipment. The business synergy is significant, effectively enhancing value per client. More crucially, currently, few domestic enterprises have achieved a full-chain layout in assisted reproduction. This differentiated positioning helps the company break free from the growth bottleneck of a single business and enhance its long-term competitiveness. From a valuation logic perspective, an improved business structure helps reduce the operational risks associated with a single business, enhances the stability of the company's profitability, and creates room for a re-evaluation of the company's valuation. For long-term investors, this transformation towards a full-chain layout serves as a core manifestation of the company's long-term development potential and a key support for subsequent valuation reassessment. IV. Investment Analysis and Risk Warning: View Positive News Rationally, Beware of Volatility Risks Based on the above analysis, the investment value assessment for Basecare Medical (02170.HK) is as follows: In the short term, the product approval serves as a clear positive catalyst. Coupled with the product's high maturity and solid market foundation, short-term performance growth has a certain degree of certainty, which is expected to drive a valuation repair for the stock price. In the long term, the realization of the full-chain layout, the advancement of domestic substitution, coupled with rising industry prosperity, suggest the company has certain growth potential. However, investors are reminded to remain rational. The realization of positive news does not necessarily equate to a stock price increase. Relevant risks still need to be monitored, with three key points to focus on: 1. Performance Realization Risk: Post-approval, the progress of market promotion and customer expansion may fall short of expectations, leading to slower-than-expected revenue growth. This serves as the most critical risk to watch in the short term. 2. Market Competition Risk: Overseas giants will not easily give up market share and may compete through price reductions, product upgrades, etc. If Basecare cannot achieve rapid market penetration, it may impact performance growth. 3. Policy and Market Volatility Risk: The assisted reproduction industry is significantly influenced by policy changes. Adjustments to related policies could affect industry demand. Concurrently, the Hong Kong stock market itself is highly volatile; short-term positive news might be digested by market sentiment. Investors need to implement risk control measures. Comprehensive Assessment: The approval of Basecare's Gems one-step embryo culture medium represents a significant milestone in the company's business development and a key step in its strategic transformation and domestic substitution layout. It aligns with the industry development trend and possesses certain investment merit. For small and medium investors, Basecare can be considered a key watchlist target in the assisted reproduction sector. In the long run, with the popularization of assisted reproduction inclusion in medical insurance and the increase in industry concentration, Basecare, as a leading enterprise in the upstream of the industrial chain, its technological barriers and the value of its full industrial chain layout are likely to be repriced by the market. The company's valuation system stands at a critical juncture of reshaping. The current stock price does not fully reflect its potential in high-barrier technology platforms and future performance conversion, indicating significant room for value reassessment and appreciation.

Checkered Flag Getaways: Agoda Reveals Top Formula 1 Host Destinations Among South Korean Travelers
- Shanghai, Barcelona, and Suzuka lead the list of most popular Formula 1 host destinations SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The global popularity of Formula 1 (F1) continues to rise, with strong momentum among South Korean fans. Interest increased further following the release of "F1: The Movie" last year, which featured appearances by current F1 drivers including Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, and Lando Norris, introducing the excitement of the sport to a broader audience. With the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship approaching, digital travel platform Agoda has unveiled the top F1 host destinations in the first half of this year favored by South Korean travelers. Based on accommodation searches made by South Korean travelers, Shanghai (China) ranked as the most sought-after F1 destination. Barcelona (Spain), Suzuka (Japan), Melbourne (Australia), Montreal (Canda), Monaco, Miami (the U.S.), Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), and Sakhir (Bahrain) followed to complete the top nine racing hotspots, highlighting South Koreans' growing enthusiasm for attending races in diverse international locations. Notably, Shanghai and Suzuka secured positions within the top three, likely driven by their close proximity to South Korea and ease of travel within Asia. Melbourne also ranked within the top five, drawing attention as the host of the season-opening race scheduled for the second week of March. Barcelona ranked highly as its race is set to take place in second week of June, aligning well with early summer vacation trends. Monaco was also placed within the top nine, reflecting its status as a legendary F1 destination. The Monaco Grand Prix has been held annually since 1955, with the exception of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Monaco circuit is renowned for its narrow streets and iconic Fairmont Hairpin, F1's slowest corner, offering a dramatic and unforgettable viewing experience. In addition, Miami has gained attention following the attendance of BLACKPINK members Lisa and Rosé at the Miami Grand Prix last year. Interest was further amplified when Rosé participated in the original soundtrack of "F1: The Movie", capturing the attention of both K-pop and motorsports fans alike. Jay Lee, Regional Director, North Asia at Agoda, said, "Following the success of the film and renowned K-pop idols attending F1 events, interest in the sport has reached new heights in South Korea. Through Agoda's wide selection of flights, accommodations, and activities, travelers can not only visit F1 host cities but also fully immerse themselves in the local culture and experiences each destination has to offer." Travelers planning trips to upcoming F1 events are encouraged to explore Agoda's great value deals on over 6 million holiday properties, more than 130,000 flight routes, and over 300,000 activities and experiences that are available on the platform.

Illumina launches TruPath Genome, setting a new standard in genomic insight
TruPathTM Genome offers more complete genome, with the simplest sample to sequencer workflow Data presented at AGBT demonstrates TruPath Genome's accuracy in detecting rare genetic disease Broad Clinical Labs is among first to adopt product, which was previously known as "constellation mapped read technology" SAN DIEGO, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN) today announced the launch of TruPathTM Genome, setting a new standard for high-quality, comprehensive whole genome insights for genetic disease. TruPath Genome has been found to deliver unparalleled accuracy and resolution—even across so-called "dark regions" of the genome—providing researchers with a more complete picture of genomic alterations implicated in genetic disease. With an incredibly simple workflow, TruPath Genome eliminates traditional library prep. In about 10 minutes of hands-on time, TruPath Genome generates 16 whole genomes per day, nearly double the throughput of competing long-read methods, and with fewer errors. TruPath Genome leverages novel on-flow cell library preparation with patterned flow cell technology and advanced informatics to seamlessly add long-distance insights for comprehensive variant detection. DRAGENTM algorithms tuned to incorporate proximity information from TruPath flow cells improve read alignment and variant calling, extending Illumina high-quality reads to difficult-to-map regions, variant phasing, structural variants, short tandem repeats (STR), and clinically relevant paralogous genes. TruPath Genome fully phases up to 98% of genes. "With TruPath Genome, we are pushing the boundaries of genomics and setting a new standard for genetic and rare disease research," said Steve Barnard, PhD, chief technology officer of Illumina. "In rare disease, you're often looking for a variant needle in a genomic haystack—and comprehensiveness, accuracy, and confidence matter. This technology unlocks rapid answers to shed light on the genomic drivers of genetic disease with an ease that was never thought possible." TruPath Genome delivers a highly cost-effective whole genome workflow, at an industry standard depth of at least 30x coverage with single-use flow cell, which is critical in clinical research. Data presented at AGBT illustrates a short-read path to long-distance insightData presented today at AGBT and in previous publications illustrates how TruPath Genome is already shedding light on some of the most challenging genetic diseases, including spinal muscular atrophy, kidney disease, and complex adrenal disorders. Researchers at University Medical Center Utrecht presented data evaluating TruPath Genome in challenging rare disease samples, with a particular focus on long–range phasing performance required to support non–invasive prenatal diagnostic (NIPD) assays, as well as resolution of difficult genomic regions and complex structural variants. "TruPath Genome enabled us to consolidate multiple analyses into a single, easy–to–implement whole–genome assay," said Marcel Nelen, PhD, head of the Genome Diagnostic Laboratory at UMC Utrecht. "Despite the simplicity of the workflow, we achieved megabase–scale phasing, full resolution of clinically relevant genes, and improved interpretation of difficult regions—even a particularly challenging case in the notoriously complex SMN1/SMN2 region—as well as complex structural variants. This represents an important step toward a single assay capable of addressing many rare disease research questions without additional orthogonal testing." At the recent Festival of Genomics & Biodata in London, researchers from the University of Exeter shared data on their pilot of TruPath Genome, which found that the technology resolved highly complex genomic regions, including a gene known to be associated with inherited adrenal disorders. While current short-read WGS requires parental samples to identify compound heterozygotes, TruPath Genome offers a single-sample path to these insights, improving coverage for samples processed without parental data. "TruPath Genome opens up a future where every patient affected by a rare genetic condition can receive rapid comprehensive whole-genome testing to end diagnostic odysseys and identify possible precision treatments," said Emma Baple, PhD, professor of Genomic Medicine at the University of Exeter and medical lead for the NHS England Rapid Genome Sequencing Service for Critically Unwell Children. "In Exeter, we have been privileged to evaluate the TruPath technology and seen the potential to change the lives of affected children and their families. We are eager to see how this innovation evolves, as these types of solutions will transform how rare conditions are diagnosed." Broad Clinical Labs is among the first to adopt TruPath Genome, which will make this important technology available to their collaborators in rare disease research. "TruPath means a more comprehensive genome to drive our research," said Sean Hofherr, PhD., FACMG, chief of clinical strategy and product development, Broad Clinical Labs. "This technology delivers an impressive ability to interrogate even the most challenging variants in the genome, all in a stunningly simple workflow. And, being able to run it on the NovaSeq X Plus is attractive." More than 30 early access customers have been piloting the technology over the past 16 months, including GeneDx, Rady Children's Hospital, and Baylor College of Medicine. Baylor College of Medicine recently published a pre-print on the technology in medRxiv. "We remain committed to advancing the accessibility of genomics through continuous innovation, delivering streamlined end-to-end workflows and comprehensive genomic insights to address the most challenging rare genetic diseases," said Jenny Zheng, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Greater China at Illumina. "In Greater China, we will deepen our collaboration with clinical and research experts to accelerate the transformation of cutting-edge technologies from research into clinical practice, ensuring our innovations truly reach patients. On this occasion of Rare Disease Day, we stand ready to illuminate the path forward for more families navigating the diagnostic odyssey."

PT Bolttech Insurance Broker named Innovator of the Year at Asian Management Excellence Awards 2026
The recognition highlighted an EV-specific insurance programme addressing protection gaps for electric vehicle owners in Indonesia. JAKARTA, Indonesia, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PT Bolttech Insurance Broker (Bolttech Insurance Broker) received the Indonesia Innovator of the Year - Insurance Broker category at the Asian Management Excellence Awards 2026 for its development of an electric vehicle insurance programme exclusively designed for Harmony Auto Indonesia customers to enhance the ownership experience of BYD electric vehicles. The recognition reflects the company's response to emerging risks associated with electric vehicle ownership as Indonesia progresses toward national green mobility targets. In addressing limitations found in conventional automotive insurance, Bolttech Insurance Broker identified several areas that were not adequately covered for electric vehicle users, including battery-related risks, charging concerns, and roadside incidents linked to depleted power. These gaps contributed to hesitation amongst potential buyers despite increasing interest in electric vehicles. The company positioned its solution to respond directly to these challenges rather than adapting existing motor insurance products. The programme was developed through coordination across product, operations, technology, and customer experience teams within Bolttech Insurance Broker, alongside Harmony Auto. The insurance solution was introduced across all BYD Harmony Auto showrooms in Indonesia, allowing customers to access coverage at the point of vehicle purchase. Available plans included Comprehensive and Total-Loss-Only options, with protection extending to electric vehicle batteries, controllers, electrical motors, and home charging equipment. Operational support covered roadside assistance, emergency towing when vehicles ran out of power, taxi reimbursement during repairs, and wheel and tyre coverage. Depending on the selected plan, customers could also access personal accident protection, third-party liability coverage, and natural disaster coverage. The structure of the programme allowed Bolttech Insurance Broker to integrate insurance into dealership operations without adding complexity to the purchasing process. This approach supported higher uptake of insurance products whilst aligning with dealership workflows. Industry collaboration also formed part of the programme's impact. Pak Suwandy, Country Head of BYD & Denza Harmony Auto, stated that integrating insurance into the electric vehicle ownership process provided customers with practical support throughout their ownership journey. The Asian Management Excellence Awards celebrates the finest business leaders, innovators, and companies in Asia, recognising exceptional achievements in employee engagement programmes, diversity and inclusion projects, and health and wellness initiatives.

Datasea Announces Foundational Research Breakthrough in Ultrasonic-Enhanced Nanoscale Precision Control
Establishing an Engineering-Level Core Technology for Next-Generation Semiconductor Manufacturing Applications BEIJING, Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Datasea Inc. (NASDAQ: DTSS) ("Datasea" or the "Company"), a Nevada-based technology company specializing in acoustic high-tech solutions and 5G+AI multimodal digitalization, today announced that it has achieved a foundational research breakthrough in its ultrasonic-enhanced nanoscale precision control technology, representing a step-change in the Company's technical architecture and underlying acoustic engineering capabilities. This milestone also marks the establishment of an engineering-level core technology architecture oriented toward next-generation semiconductor manufacturing applications. The Company stated that this breakthrough reflects progress at the foundational research and architectural levels, rather than a single-point laboratory result. By systematically integrating ultrasonic enhancement mechanisms with ultra-precision composite manufacturing processes, Datasea is constructing a systems-level precision control architecture and related technical framework designed to address increasing complexity, stability, and nanoscale accuracy requirements in advanced semiconductor process environments. This stage of R&D progress provides a technical foundation for subsequent engineering validation and application scenario exploration. The technology remains in the research and engineering validation stage and has not yet entered commercialization. Strategic Significance for Next-Generation Semiconductor Manufacturing As semiconductor nodes continue to shrink and process complexity increases, precision stability, surface uniformity, and nanoscale controllability are becoming increasingly critical technical factors across advanced manufacturing systems. Datasea believes that expanding ultrasonic precision control into higher-complexity industrial environments demonstrates the scalability of its acoustic technology architecture beyond existing health-related and consumer-oriented applications. This foundational research breakthrough reinforces the Company's long-term strategic positioning in high-end industrial and advanced manufacturing sectors by leveraging its core acoustic technologies, while expanding the potential application scope of its underlying acoustic technology architecture. Management Commentary Ms. Zhixin Liu, Chief Executive Officer of Datasea, commented: "This milestone represents a meaningful breakthrough at the foundational research level of our acoustic technology system. Our acoustic modulation capabilities have already been deployed across health, medical, and industrial domains. This latest research breakthrough marks an architecture-level elevation of those capabilities within high-precision industrial systems. Integrating ultrasonic enhancement with nanoscale engineering demands multi-layer coordination and structural stability under extreme tolerances, underscoring the depth and scalability of our core acoustic architecture. Strategically, this progression reflects the continued evolution of our acoustic technology across increasingly complex application environments and reinforces our long-term positioning within advanced manufacturing ecosystems." Next Steps Datasea plans to continue refining this engineering-level architecture through further validation, performance modeling, and potential research collaborations. The Company will disclose additional developments as appropriate and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. About Datasea Inc. Datasea Inc. ("Datasea") is a leading provider of products, services, and solutions for enterprise and retail customers in two innovative industries, acoustic high tech and 5G-AI multimodal digitalization. The Company's advanced R&D technology serves as the core infrastructure and backbone for its products. Its 5G multimodal digital segment operates on a cloud architecture based on AI. Datasea leverages cutting-edge technologies, precision manufacturing, and ultrasonic, infrasound and directional sound technology in its acoustics business to combat viruses and prevent human infections, and it is also developing applications in medical ultrasonic cosmetology. In July 2023, Datasea established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Datasea Acoustics LLC, in Delaware, in a strategic move to enter the U.S. markets and to mark its global expansion plan.

CGTN: Private economy: A key actor in advancing China's economic priorities in 2026 and beyond
BEIJING, Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CGTN published an article exploring the Chinese private sector's pivotal role in advancing the priorities of the country's current economic work. The article highlights the significant achievements of private enterprises over the past year and analyzes how, by leveraging distinct strengths in innovation, market responsiveness, and entrepreneurship, they are driving consumption, technological innovation and opening-up, thereby underpinning the country's high-quality development. From the rise of domestic generative AI models such as DeepSeek and Seedance, to the global frenzy over China's domestic IP products such as the video game "Black Myth: Wukong" and Labubu dolls; from breakthroughs in humanoid robotic technologies led by firms such as Unitree Robotics, to the rapid growth of commercial aerospace marked by the launch of reusable rocket carrier Zhuque-3, these developments illustrate the strong momentum of China's private sector over the past year. Private enterprises: A vital pillar of China's high-quality development A year ago, on February 17, 2025, at a symposium on private enterprises in Beijing, President Xi Jinping highlighted the important role of the private economy in driving high-quality development and Chinese modernization, saying that the private economy has broad development prospects and immense potential, and it is the perfect time for private companies and entrepreneurs to fully demonstrate their prowess. A recently published article by President Xi on the key tasks of China's current economic work points out that domestic demand will remain a focus in building a robust domestic market. The article, drawing from a speech delivered by President Xi at the Central Economic Work Conference last December, also underscores the need to enhance innovation-driven development to accelerate the cultivation of new growth drivers, as well as continuing opening up to promote win-win cooperation in various fields, among other key focuses for the country's current economic agenda. With its considerable scale and prominent position in the country's economy, as well as strengths in innovation, market responsiveness, organizational flexibility, and entrepreneurial spirit, the private sector is expected to play a pivotal role in advancing these key priorities. Driving consumption, innovation and opening-up Private enterprises are more sensitive to emerging changes in consumer demand, allowing them to provide products and services in response to these new trends, said Bai Chong-en, dean of the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University. They also holds distinct advantages in driving innovation, especially in areas of relatively unknown or pioneering innovation, he added. On the consumption front, for example, food delivery giant Meituan pioneered innovative new models for instant urban delivery, launching 64 drone delivery routes and completing more than 600,000 orders last year. Meanwhile, Wenzhou Runxin Machinery has developed fully automated water treatment control valves, meeting growing demand for high-quality equipment. In the first half of 2025, private enterprises generated 71.7 percent of the national sales revenue. Private companies now make up more than 92 percent of China's high-tech enterprises. They possess keen technological insight with a strong market orientation, enabling them to swiftly identify demand and accelerate the commercialization of innovation. For instance, Longyu Robotics has developed core technologies for heavy-duty automated guided vehicles, breaking foreign technological constraints. DJI, backed by sharp market insight and sustained R&D investment, has become a global leader in drones. Beyond boosting consumption and innovation, the private sector can play a greater role in China's opening-up efforts. Despite headwinds in global trade, private enterprises accounted for 57.3 percent of the total trade last year, remaining the country's top foreign trade contributors for seven consecutive years. Increasingly, private companies are expanding overseas and deepening international cooperation in the green, digital, and marine economies. In his recently published article, President Xi also emphasized enhancing the regulatory and policy framework supporting the Private Economy Promotion Law, enacted last May. Stronger policy support is expected to further optimize the business environment and enable private enterprises to play a greater role in advancing the country's economic priorities ahead.

A Production-Focused Image-to-3D AI Platform for 3D Printing
SINGAPORE, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2026, image-to-3D AI is increasingly assessed through a practical lens: not how convincingly a model looks on screen, but how reliably it performs in 3D printing workflows. As additive manufacturing moves deeper into customized production and short-run manufacturing, the ability to translate photos into printable geometry has become a defining requirement for AI-driven modeling tools. Within this context, Hitem3D has drawn attention to its focus on production-oriented image-to-3D generation. Rather than positioning itself as a general-purpose creative platform, Hitem3D aligns its capabilities with the structural demands of fabrication, where mesh consistency, resolution, and downstream behavior are critical. A recurring challenge in photo-based 3D printing lies in geometry reliability. Models that appear visually complete may still fail during slicing due to surface discontinuities, ambiguous internal structures, or fragile topology. These issues introduce manual repair steps that erode the efficiency gains promised by AI automation. As a result, users increasingly associate the value of image-to-3D tools with their ability to reduce—not relocate—this burden. Recent advances in this category reflect a growing emphasis on print‐aware reconstruction, with higher mesh density and improved inference of occluded or incomplete regions. While perfect watertightness remains difficult to guarantee from limited visual input, the 2026 goal has shifted toward generating models that behave predictably during scaling, support generation, and material preparation. Benchmarks were established in internal validation tests across common FDM setups to quantify 3D printing performance, using Hitem3D models tested on Bambu Lab X1C and Prusa SL1S. In tested miniature-scale outputs, wall thickness after scaling met common FDM printing requirements and could be adjusted to suit typical resin printing workflows. Hitem3D models are compatible with standard auto-support generation in common slicers such as PrusaSlicer, Cura, and Bambu Studio. Optimized for slicer stability and speed, the models feature file sizes ranging from 15–40 MB. This shift toward print-aware reconstruction directly improves real-world usability for additive manufacturing. Hitem3D's evolution illustrates this shift. By strengthening high-resolution geometry generation and prioritizing structural coherence over purely aesthetic output, the platform positions AI-generated models as viable starting assets for physical production rather than experimental prototypes. This approach aligns with how professional users evaluate tools in practice—by how confidently a model can be prepared for printing without extensive correction. As AI continues to integrate into fabrication pipelines, image-to-3D platforms optimized for 3D printing are becoming less about novelty and more about reliability. The tools gaining traction in 2026 are those that successfully bridge the gap between photographic input and manufacturable form, helping users move from image to object with greater confidence and fewer interruptions. Ready to Test Print-Ready AI Generation?Hitem3D offers free 100 credits on signup, no credit card required. Professional users can access 1000 credits and standard queue priority at initial $9.9/month.→ Start your free trial: hitem3d.ai→ View sample outputs and print success rates: hitem3d.ai/3dprinting/use-case About Hitem3DHitem3D, pioneered by MathMagic (founded 2024), has empowered over a million users across 150 countries since its launch. These solutions are now deeply integrated into the production pipelines of multiple Fortune 500 companies, establishing spatial AI as a new industrial standard. The platform specializes in converting single or multi-view images into production-ready 3D models, with particular strength in 3D printing, industrial design, and game asset creation. Notable users include industry leaders such as Bambu Lab and xTool. Hitem3D secured the #1 spot on the Hugging Face Space Trending list within a week of its model upload and maintained a top 3 position across all model categories for three consecutive weeks.

Ribo and Ribocure Announce Exclusive Global Licensing Agreement with Madrigal for Novel siRNA Therapeutics Targeting MASH
SUZHOU, China and MÖLNDAL, Sweden, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Suzhou Ribo Life Science Co., Ltd. (HKEX: 06938) ("Ribo") and its subsidiary Ribocure Pharmaceuticals AB ("Ribocure") today announced that they have entered into an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDGL) ("Madrigal") for six pre-clinical small interfering RNA (siRNA) programs for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). The collaboration will utilize Ribo's validated liver targeting siRNA GalSTARTM platform to develop novel treatments for MASH. The license agreement covers multiple existing pre-clinical assets from Ribo. In addition, both parties have the option to expand the scope of collaboration onto new siRNA programs including bi-specific siRNAs (agents that target two disease-causing genes simultaneously) utilizing Ribo's unique GalSTARTM and siRNA chemical modification platforms. We are enthusiastic to join forces with Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, drawing on their extensive knowledge together with our siRNA expertise to advance life changing therapies for people affected by liver disease, says Dr. Zicai Liang, CEO of Ribo. To have the opportunity to work with the company that successfully launched the world's first drug for MASH, a disease with rising prevalence and strong associations with numerous life-threatening comorbidities, is very encouraging. Leveraging our proprietary siRNA platform, we aim to expand the MASH therapeutic landscape through complementary, multi-mechanistic approaches, delivering more targeted and effective treatments for patients with unmet needs, says Dr Li-Ming Gan CEO of Ribocure and co-CEO of Ribo. Financial ConsiderationsUnder the agreement, Ribo has granted Madrigal an exclusive global license to develop, manufacture, and commercialize several siRNA assets. Ribo will receive an upfront payment of US$60M and cumulative payments could reach US$4.4B if certain development, regulatory and commercial milestones are achieved, as well as potential royalties on net sales. About MASH Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), formerly known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is a serious liver disease that can progress to cirrhosis, liver failure, liver cancer, need for liver transplantation and premature mortality. MASH is the leading cause of liver transplantation in women and the second leading cause of all liver transplantation in the U.S., and the fastest-growing indication for liver transplantation in Europe. Once patients progress to MASH with moderate to advanced liver fibrosis (consistent with stages F2 to F3 fibrosis), the risk of adverse liver outcomes increases dramatically: these patients have a 10-17 times higher risk of liver-related mortality as compared to patients without fibrosis. Those who progress to cirrhosis face a 42 times higher risk of liver-related mortality, underscoring the need to treat MASH before complications of cirrhosis develop. MASH is also an independent driver of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of mortality for patients. As MASH disease awareness improves and disease prevalence increases, the number of diagnosed patients with MASH with moderate to advanced fibrosis or compensated MASH cirrhosis (F2-F4c) is expected to grow. About Suzhou Ribo Life Science Co. Ltd. and Ribocure Pharmaceuticals ABSuzhou Ribo Life Science Co. Ltd. (HKEX: 6938) is an innovative clinical stage R&D company devoted to the development of nucleic acid drugs and related products based on the RNA interference (RNAi) technology.

Make the most of Japan's snowy season! Visit Biwako Valley for thrilling snow fun and amazing food--all within easy reach of Kansai International Airport
OTSU, Japan, Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In January 2026, a strong cold wave brought much more snow to Japan than usual. Shiga Prefecture, located right next to Kyoto—one of Japan's most famous tourist destinations—is home to Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan. By late January, the lakeshore becomes a beautiful world of white snow. Nearby ski resorts also have plenty of natural snow. For these reasons, this area is now a very popular winter destination. Among the ski resorts around Lake Biwa, Biwako Valley stands out as especially popular. You can enjoy the amazing lake view and play in the snow at the same time. It is easy to visit, taking less than one hour from Kyoto. [Left Image] At Biwako Valley, you can visit "Biwako Terrace" for a breathtaking view. The contrast between the blue water of the terrace pool and the deep blue lake in winter is amazing. This beautiful view is definitely worth the trip to the mountain top. [Top Right Image] At the BBQ Restaurant & Bar "HALUKA," you can enjoy delicious dishes such as steaks and hamburgers made with Omi beef—one of Japan's top three wagyu brands—while taking in the stunning view of the pure white ski slopes. [Bottom Right Image] Ogoto Onsen is one of the best hot spring destinations in the Kansai region. It is only a 30-minute drive from Biwako Valley. This hot spring has a long history of about 1,200 years. It is famous as a "skin-beautifying spring" because the water is very gentle on your skin. Biwako Valley is very popular in the Kansai area because it is easy to visit. You can reach it from Kyoto Station without any transfers: simply take the JR Kosei Line to Shiga Station. From Shiga Station, it is only a 10-minute bus ride. Moreover, From the Biwako Valley Ropeway Sanroku Station to the 1,100-meter summit, it takes only 5 minutes. The temperature at the top is more than 5°C lower than at the bottom. It feels like a different world, where a beautiful white snow landscape welcomes you. As soon as you leave the Summit Station, you will see "Biwako Terrace." If you take a photo of the terrace pool and Lake Biwa together, you can capture an endless blue view. It is very popular on social media. In winter, the contrast between the white snow and the blue lake is beautiful. This view alone is worth the visit to the mountain top. Biwako Valley offers a wide range of well-equipped facilities within the ski resort. Near the Sanroku Station, you can rent snowboards, skis, boots, and warm winter clothes. Your clothes will get wet when you touch the snow, so we recommend renting or wearing proper winter gear before you go to the top. The resort has many areas for everyone: professional courses, practice slopes for beginners, a dedicated "Snow Land" area for fun snow play, and zones for enjoying sledding. The "Zipline Adventure" is open during both the green season and the winter season. On this attraction, you can slide down a wire rope with a pulley while looking at the grand Lake Biwa below. It is just as popular as skiing. Even if you are not good at sports, you can enjoy the speed and thrill safely. If you want a more special view, take the 4-person chairlift to "Café 360" at the highest point of Biwako Valley. This terrace opened last year. From there, you can see a beautiful world of white snow and look down at Lake Biwa from the very top. "Omi Beef" is the most famous local specialty of Shiga. It is one of Japan's top three wagyu beef brands. Many people visit from overseas to enjoy its soft texture and rich flavor that melts in your mouth. At "Grill Dining & Bar HALUKA," you can eat Omi Beef steaks and burgers while looking at the snowy slopes. At "Terrace Café," you can enjoy special desserts found only here. Try the gelato made with Omi black tea "Wa-kocha" and milk. Shiga is the birthplace of Japanese tea, so this flavor is very special to this area. You can enjoy Omi tea at the restaurants and cafés. You can also buy it at the gift shop to take home as a souvenir. There are many other great places to visit near Biwako Valley. Only a 30-minute drive away is "Ogoto Onsen," one of the most famous hot spring destinations in the Kansai region. It started about 1,200 years ago and is famous as a "skin-beautifying spring" because the water is very gentle on your skin. Relaxing in a hot spring to warm up your body after playing in the snow—this is the best way to enjoy winter in Japan. "Mangetsuji Ukimido" is a historic temple built over Lake Biwa. It is one of the best photo spots in Otsu City. From Hieizan Sakamoto Station on the JR Kosei Line, you can find the path to the Enryakuji Temple, a World Heritage site. If you'd like to appreciate the grand scale of Lake Biwa from the water itself, we recommend the "Michigan Cruise," a scenic sightseeing boat tour on the lake. On the open deck, you can feel the breeze and enjoy a relaxing trip around the southern part of Lake Biwa. Watching the white, snow-covered mountains from the boat will surely be a wonderful memory.

First New Energy Distributed Synchronous Condenser in Wuzhong Successfully Connected to Grid
WUZHONG, China, Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At 12:23 on February 8, two distributed synchronous condensers supporting the Wuzhong No. 64 Photovoltaic Power Station were successfully commissioned and connected to the grid, with all operating parameters meeting design standards. This milestone marks a key step forward for the Wuzhong power grid in enhancing voltage support capacity, improving grid stability, and ensuring efficient new energy accommodation. Known as the "intelligent voltage stabilizer" for new energy stations, synchronous condensers are core equipment designed to address voltage fluctuations and grid stability challenges posed by the volatility and intermittency of photovoltaic and other renewable energy generation. The newly commissioned units boast a rated capacity of 20 Mvar, with advantages including fast dynamic response, strong reactive power regulation capability, and excellent overload performance. To ensure the project's smooth commissioning, State Grid Wuzhong Power Supply Company took early intervention and full-process tracking measures. A special acceptance team, consisting of technical backbones from dispatching operation, equipment maintenance, electrical testing and other professional fields, was established. In strict accordance with the commissioning and startup plans issued by State Grid Ningxia Electric Power and the Dispatching Control Center of State Grid Wuzhong Power Supply Company, the team completed a full range of verifications, including static inspection, no-load test, short-circuit test, grid-connected load test, and 168-hour trial operation. During the test period, the synchronous condenser system operated stably, with outstanding performance in key indicators such as voltage support, inertia response, and harmonic suppression. It successfully passed the grid acceptance and was officially put into operation. The commissioning of the distributed synchronous condensers will effectively enhance the dynamic reactive power support capacity of the Wuzhong No. 64 Photovoltaic Power Station, optimize power quality, and strengthen the grid's anti-disturbance ability. It will also significantly reduce the risk of equipment disconnection caused by sudden changes in light intensity and load fluctuations, providing a solid guarantee for the safe and stable operation of substations and reliable power supply. Furthermore, this achievement will further improve the regional power grid's capacity to accommodate new energy, facilitate the efficient integration of more clean power into the main grid, and accelerate the green transformation of the energy structure in Wuzhong.

CIOs to Address Data Strategy and Decision Execution at Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane
As organisations rely more heavily on data to guide strategy, the ability to make consistent, repeatable decisions has become a defining challenge for IT leaders. While data volumes continue to grow, many leadership teams struggle to align on what data matters, how it should be interpreted, and how it translates into action. At Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane, March 17 – 18, 2026, data-driven sessions will focus on helping CIOs and senior IT leaders build the structures and literacy required to support confident decision-making across the enterprise. SYDNEY, Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Decision quality has emerged as a critical differentiator for IT organisations under increasing scrutiny to deliver measurable outcomes. Without shared understanding and clear frameworks, even well-funded data initiatives can stall at the point of execution. Taking place March 17 – 18, 2026, at W Brisbane, Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane will feature a dedicated set of data-driven sessions designed to help IT leaders strengthen how decisions are governed and carried through in practice. At Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane, March 17 – 18, 2026, data-driven sessions will focus on helping CIOs and senior IT leaders build the structures and literacy required to support confident decision-making across the enterprise. Now in its second annual APAC edition, Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane will deliver a hands-on strategy conference for CIOs, senior directors, and IT executives focused on translating research into execution. The data-driven sessions are designed to help leaders connect data strategy directly to leadership decisions, improve data literacy across teams, and apply structured approaches that support consistent outcomes in complex environments. "Data only becomes valuable when leaders can consistently act on it and make choices they're willing to stand behind," says George Khreish, Managing Partner at Info-Tech Research Group, APAC. "Across many APAC organisations, we're seeing that the main challenge is not so much access to data, but more the lack of shared understanding around how it should inform decisions. At Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane, our data-driven sessions will help CIOs understand how to better strengthen data literacy and execution so data reliably supports better outcomes." Featured Data-Driven Sessions at Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in BrisbaneThe following data-driven sessions at Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane bring together strategic guidance, execution frameworks, and region-specific insights to help IT leaders strengthen decision outcomes across their organisations: Build a Robust and Comprehensive Data Strategy This session examines how data strategy should directly support critical decisions and business outcomes. Attendees will gain clarity on how to position data as a decision-enabling capability rather than a reporting function, helping leadership teams align on what data matters most. The Data and Analytics Playbook: Secrets and Steps to Systematically Achieve IT Excellence This interactive workshop explores the 12-step Data and Analytics Playbook and how to apply it within real-world environments. Participants will leave with a prioritised roadmap to move data and analytics from reactive firefighting to forward-driving delivery. Info-Tech's Data Digest: Insights From Our APAC Members' Experiences Grounded in insights from Info-Tech's APAC member base, this session highlights how regional technology, regulatory, and cultural dynamics are shaping IT decisions. Attendees will gain evidence-based perspectives to benchmark priorities and inform leadership discussions. These sessions align with findings from Info-Tech's recently published Data Priorities 2026 report, which shows that as organisations accelerate AI adoption and digital initiatives, gaps in data quality, governance, and literacy increasingly limit their ability to execute with confidence. Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane extends this research by providing leaders with practical frameworks, peer context, and actionable guidance they can apply immediately. Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane will bring together CIOs, senior IT executives, and technology leaders from across the Asia-Pacific region for two days of research-driven programming. The conference will feature mainstage sessions, interactive breakouts, peer discussions, and one-on-one analyst meetings designed to help IT leaders move from strategy to execution in complex and fast-moving environments. Additional sessions and speaker announcements will be released in the coming weeks. For more information about the event, please visit the Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane page.
