Singapore – March 11, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – HYVE Promo today announced the launch of its AI-enabled print-on-demand platform designed to modernize Asia-Pacific’s corporate gifting and branded merchandise industry. While e-commerce in Asia has produced multi-billion-dollar unicorns, the region’s corporate gifting supply chain remains largely manual — dependent on spreadsheets, fragmented factory coordination, and week-long quote cycles. HYVE enters the market as a technology-first infrastructure platform built to streamline customization, printing, and cross-border fulfillment at scale. HYVE positions itself as the corporate gifting equivalent of Asia’s major e-commerce platforms — purpose-built for businesses that need fast, reliable, and compliant branded merchandise delivered across multiple markets. “Asia built some of the world’s largest e-commerce engines,” said Tim Ngiam, General Manager of HYVE. “But the corporate merchandise industry hasn’t kept pace. We built HYVE to bring platform thinking, AI-driven workflows, and print-on-demand efficiency to a sector still operating like it’s 2005.” AI-Driven Merch Infrastructure HYVE combines: AI-assisted artwork processing and print optimization Real-time production routing across decoration technologies Automated order batching for small and mid-sized runs Cross-border logistics orchestration for APAC distribution The platform integrates directly with HYVE’s high-capacity production hub in Ningbo, China, capable of processing approximately 500 orders daily. Small-batch corporate orders can ship in as little as 72 hours, serving markets including Singapore, Japan, Korea, India, Southeast Asia, and Greater China. Rather than operating as a marketplace aggregator, HYVE controls the full print-to-ship workflow — reducing supplier handoffs and production errors. Targeting a Rapidly Digitizing Market The global promotional products market is projected to reach US$37 billion by 2033, while Asia-Pacific corporate gifting is expected to exceed US$400 billion within the same timeframe. More than 40% of buyers now expect to manage merchandise orders digitally — from proofing to tracking to fulfillment. HYVE aims to become what its founders call “Asia’s largest merch engine” — a centralized infrastructure layer for corporate gifting across the region. “Marketers and procurement teams want the same simplicity they get when ordering consumer products online,” said Ethan Ung, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer. “They don’t want to manage factories, chase quotes, or coordinate customs. They want speed, visibility, and certainty. That’s what a platform should provide.” Built for Enterprise and Regional Scale HYVE focuses initially on APAC enterprise buyers and distributors, offering: On-demand production Regional multi-country fulfillment Compliance-ready manufacturing standards Rapid turnaround for campaign-driven activations The company plans to expand product categories, introduce deeper AI automation across artwork and routing, and integrate with marketing and e-commerce ecosystems used by enterprise teams. About HYVE Promo HYVE Promo is a Singapore-based technology platform modernizing corporate gifting across Asia-Pacific. Backed by the founders of BrandCharger and Headwind Group, HYVE operates a vertically integrated print and fulfillment engine designed to bring AI-driven efficiency, transparency, and scalability to branded merchandise distribution.

Recently, a storm triggered by skyrocketing oil prices has swept across Asian equity markets. Major indices have suffered significant setbacks; notably, the Straits Times Index (STI) plunged 1.89% this Monday, as panic gripped the market. In such turbulent times, how does Professor Henry Ng, head of SLGM • Global Business Academy, decipher the market’s pulse and formulate rational trading strategies for his students? I. The Core of the Storm: Why Oil Price Surges Shake Asian Markets The root cause of this Asian market crash lies in the sharp rise in oil prices triggered by tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. This critical waterway handles approximately 20% of global crude oil shipments. As the region with the highest dependence on petroleum imports, Asia’s oil and gas trade deficit accounts for 2.1% of its GDP—far exceeding the Eurozone’s 1.5% and the United States’ 0.04%. Should shipping through the strait be obstructed, the energy supply for Asian economies will face immense challenges. Since the beginning of 2026, international oil prices have behaved like a "bolting horse." Brent crude futures have surged from $85 per barrel at the start of the year to over $120 today—an increase of more than 40%. This spike is not accidental; it is the result of multiple converging factors: Geopolitical Conflicts: Tensions in Middle Eastern oil-producing regions have heightened expectations of supply contraction. Demand Rebound: During the global economic recovery, energy demand has bounced back beyond expectations, widening the supply-demand gap. Macro Factors: A weakening U.S. Dollar Index and speculative capital maneuvering have collectively propelled oil prices into a new upward cycle. II. Through the Fog: Key Signals in the Current Market Significant Sector Divergence: Amidst the market sell-off, a clear divergence between sectors has emerged. Oil and gas sectors across Asia have benefited from rising prices, creating favorable conditions for growth. We previously witnessed a rare "continuous rally" among several oil and gas stocks, with average gains reaching 15%. Although they have since seen some retracement, their overall performance remains relatively resilient. In contrast, Technology stocks have taken a heavy hit. Since the start of 2026, the Hang Seng Tech Index has dropped 12.45%, while U.S. tech giants such as Intel, NVIDIA, Apple, and Microsoft have recently delivered mediocre performances. This is primarily due to market skepticism regarding the sustainability of AI spending, combined with rising inflation expectations driven by oil prices, which continues to suppress tech valuations. When the "flames" of oil prices burn fiercely, Asian stock markets are the first to feel the heat. As the core engine of global economic growth, Asian economies are generally highly dependent on external energy. Japan, South Korea, and India all have oil import dependency ratios exceeding 80%, while China’s dependency is nearing 70%. Skyrocketing oil prices directly inflate production costs and squeeze profit margins. Asian enterprises, which rely on manufacturing as their backbone, are facing the dual pressure of rising raw material prices and climbing logistics costs. This has led to setbacks and declines in the Malaysian and Singaporean stock markets. This capital storm triggered by oil has plunged Asian equities into a state of panic. Investors are offloading stocks in favor of safe-haven assets like Gold and Treasury bonds. The deterioration of market sentiment has further fueled the decline, creating a vicious cycle. III. Many SLGM • Global Business Academy students can’t help but ask: Will rising oil prices truly crush Asian stock markets? In-Depth Analysis: The Interlinked Logic Between Oil Prices and Asian Equities To answer this question, we must conduct an in-depth dissection of the interlinked logic between oil prices and Asian stock markets. Historical data reveals that the relationship between the two is not a simple negative correlation, but rather a complex, dynamic association. In the early stages of economic recovery, a moderate rise in oil prices often reflects improving demand. During such periods, expectations for corporate earnings increase, and the stock market typically embarks on a bullish trend. However, when oil prices rise too rapidly or the magnitude of the increase becomes excessive, it creates a negative impact on the economy, thereby suppressing stock market performance. The SLGM • Global Business Academy Research Department believes that the impact of rising oil prices on Asian stock markets is primarily transmitted through the following channels: III.1. The Cost Transmission Channel Rising oil prices directly increase production costs, particularly for energy-intensive industries. Aviation, Shipping, and Logistics: Fuel is one of the primary operating costs. A surge in oil prices leads directly to declining corporate profits. Chemicals, Plastics, and Rubber: Petroleum is a vital raw material. Higher oil prices drive up the cost of these materials, further inflating production expenses. If companies cannot fully pass these increased costs on to consumers through higher product prices, their profit margins will be squeezed, putting downward pressure on their stock prices. III.2. The Inflationary Channel Surging oil prices trigger significant inflationary pressure. As a critical industrial raw material and energy source, its price hike ripples through the entire supply chain, driving up the costs of various goods and services. Monetary Policy:Rising inflation rates often prompt central banks to adopt tightened monetary policies, such as raising interest rates or increasing reserve requirement ratios. Economic Impact:These measures increase financing costs for enterprises, suppress investment, and dampen consumer spending. This ultimately hinders economic growth and corporate earnings, creating a bearish outlook for the stock market. IV. SLGM • Global Business Academy’s Solution: Market Outlook & Trading Strategies IV.1. Prioritize Short-term Defense; Focus on Safe-Haven Sectors As long as geopolitical risks persist and the upward trend of oil prices remains uncertain, a defensive strategy should be adopted for short-term trading. Focus on safe-haven sectors such as Oil & Gas, Banking, and Utilities. Oil & Gas:Directly benefits from rising prices. With ongoing tensions in the Middle East, oil prices are expected to remain elevated, providing strong support for corporate earnings. Banking:Characterized by low valuations and high dividend yields, banks often demonstrate strong resilience during market volatility. Utilities:With stable demand and minimal impact from economic cycles, this sector offers investors relatively consistent returns. IV.2. Energy Transition: Embracing the Green Revolution Skyrocketing oil prices highlight the instability and high costs of traditional energy, creating massive opportunities within the energy transition sector. As the world prioritizes environmental protection and sustainable development, the new energy industry has entered a "golden age" of growth. Clean Energy:The development of solar, wind, hydro, and nuclear energy continues to expand. Companies in these fields are poised for rapid earnings growth, positioning this sector as the next major wealth frontier. IV.3. Energy Tech Innovation: Tapping into the Technology Dividend Rising oil prices will also accelerate the development of energy technology innovation. To reduce dependence on traditional energy and improve efficiency, companies worldwide are increasing their R&D investments. Innovative breakthroughs in energy-saving technologies, smart grid systems, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) are emerging rapidly. Energy-Saving Tech:Helps enterprises lower energy consumption and reduce production costs. Smart Grid Tech:Enables efficient energy distribution and utilization, enhancing the stability of the energy supply. Conclusion In summary, while rising oil prices have brought short-term shocks to Asian stock markets, the fundamental economic outlook for Asia remains unchanged. Corporate earnings continue to show resilience, and opportunities are hidden within the crisis. Investment potential abounds in New Energy, Energy Tech Innovation, and Resource sectors, while Defensive sectors provide stable returns. Students must remain rational and calm. Formulate a sound strategy by balancing risks and returns through diversification, long-term positioning, and dynamic adjustments.

SINGAPORE – March 09, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – AI Labs, an AI-driven crypto trading technology company backed by Academic Labs, announced the launch of an AI-assisted platform designed to help cryptocurrency traders analyze market data and respond more efficiently to changing market conditions. As automated tools and algorithmic strategies become more common in global digital asset markets, the platform integrates visual analysis, narrative data monitoring, and automated trade execution features intended to support more structured and data-driven trading decisions. The fastest traders in today’s crypto markets may not always be humans. As digital asset markets increasingly incorporate automation, many traders now rely on algorithmic systems that can monitor markets continuously and react to signals with minimal delay. A crypto project called AI Labs (ticker: AIX) is building an AI-enabled platform that combines visual reasoning, narrative intelligence, and automated execution to help users interpret market data and respond to signals more efficiently than traditional manual analysis alone. “Markets are entering an era where the use of artificial intelligence is becoming more common in trading strategies,” said Kingston Kwek, owner of AI Labs. “Our goal is to make analytical tools that are often used by institutional trading teams more accessible to a wider group of crypto traders.” At the center of AI Labs’ platform is a visual reasoning engine that analyzes charts not simply as static images, but as evolving market structures. Using computer vision and multimodal AI techniques, the system can identify potential liquidity zones, resistance levels, and broader market patterns within short timeframes. Alongside this, AI Labs has developed a narrative intelligence layer that scans information across the crypto ecosystem. This includes movements associated with large crypto wallets, developer updates, and shifts in online sentiment—signals that traders often monitor when assessing possible market trends. Instead of only placing individual buy or sell orders, traders can define broader trading parameters using the AI system. The platform can then execute trades automatically based on predefined conditions, such as capital inflows, volatility changes, or funding-rate shifts. The objective is to help reduce emotional decision-making and allow traders to stay aligned with their strategies while automated systems monitor market activity continuously. AI Labs’ platform is currently onboarding new users, with reported monthly trading activity exceeding $1 billion across the platform.

SHENZHEN, CHINA, Mar 5, 2026 – (ACN Newswire) – China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that self-developed innovative drug INHBE-targeting small nucleic acid drug CMS-D008 injection (“CMS-D008”) received the Drug Clinical Trial Approval Notice issued by National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) on 4 March 2026. The NMPA has approved the conduct of clinical trials of CMS-D008 injection for overweight or obese individuals. About CMS-D008 CMS-D008 is a novel siRNA therapy administered by subcutaneous injection. CMS-D008 targets and reduces the hepatic expression of the inhibin subunit beta E (INHBE) gene and lowers the level of Activin E protein encoded by INHBE, which blocks Activin E-ALK7 signaling and reduces fat accumulation effectively. Preclinical studies suggested that CMS-D008 efficiently and sustainably suppressed INHBE expression. In the diet-induced obesity model, CMS-D008 enhanced weight loss by reducing fat mass while retaining lean mass with a good safety profile. It demonstrates potentially better prospects for high-quality, long-term weight loss that boosts fat-specific loss while preserving muscle mass. In the future, it may be developed for the treatment of overweight/obesity, abdominal obesity, and related metabolic diseases. Fat Loss, muscle preserved: a potentially better therapeutic option for overweight/obesity Overweight or obesity is a chronic, progressive, relapsing disease characterized by excessive accumulation or abnormal distribution or function of body fat[1]. World Obesity Atlas 2025 Report projected that the global proportion of overweight and obese adults will rise to 50%, with nearly 3 billion adults impacted by high body mass index (BMI), and the population of adults who are overweight or obese in China is projected to reach 515 million by 2030[2]. Existing GLP-1RAs have been proven to be effective for the treatment of overweight and obesity. The main actions of GLP-1RAs are to suppress appetite by acting on the central nervous system and to delay gastric emptying[3]. INHBE’s novel mechanism of action differs from GLP-1RAs. INHBE is identified through genome-wide association studies. Populations with loss of function in INHBE are associated with favorable fat distribution and beneficial metabolic characteristics[4]. Targeted inhibition of INHBE might be more conducive for long-term weight management at the genetic level with precisely lower visceral fat and favorable metabolic profiles. CMS-D008 teams up with CMS-D005: highly effective weight loss plus long-term maintenance, building a more comprehensive weight-loss solution CMS-D008 will synergize with CMS-D005, a self-developed innovative drug currently in clinical development. CMS-D008 reduces fat without sacrificing muscle mass by precisely inhibiting INHBE gene expression; while CMS-D005, as a GLP-1R/GCGR dual agonist, can effectively reduce liver fat while losing weight. The synergy between these two drugs will achieve highly effective weight loss benefits and long-term maintenance of results, jointly enhancing the Group’s R&D capabilities and product competitiveness in the field of obesity/metabolic treatment. Furthermore, leveraging the Group’s mature network resources in the field of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, the drug’s R&D and commercialization process will be accelerated, providing patients with more comprehensive and innovative treatment options. The Group is actively preparing to initiate relevant clinical trials and strives to launch the Product as soon as possible.

Singapore – March 05, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – Core Concepts Physio, one of Singapore’s leading physiotherapy providers, has announced an expanded collaborative programme with podiatry service provider, Podiatry Quest, to offer enhanced, multidisciplinary assessments for patients experiencing plantar fasciitis and stubborn heel pain. Plantar fasciitis remains one of the most common and persistent causes of heel pain among adults, especially those with active lifestyles or occupations involving long hours on their feet. Often treatment seeks to address only one aspect of the condition rather than the full movement chain, which leads to recurring pain as other aspects remain unresolved. To bridge this gap, the two clinics have formalised a joint assessment pathway that evaluates plantar fasciitis from both the top-down (physiotherapy) and the bottom-up (podiatry) so as to ensure that no contributing factor is overlooked. A Smarter, More Complete Way to Diagnose Heel Pain Physiotherapy and podiatry traditionally manage different elements of plantar fasciitis. Physiotherapists focus on mobility, strength, gait and load tolerance, while podiatrists address foot posture, footwear, ground forces and orthotic support. The new integrated pathway combines both perspectives into a single, coordinated evaluation which results in: More accurate, holistic diagnoses Fully optimised treatment strategies Fewer flare-ups and recurrences Clearer, consistent guidance for patients Faster and more sustainable outcomes “Many patients struggle because plantar fasciitis isn’t caused by just one issue,” said Mr Chng Chye Tuan, Senior Principal Physiotherapist at Core Concepts Physiotherapy. “It’s a movement chain problem involving the foot, calf, ankle mobility, daily load and footwear. When physiotherapists and podiatrists work together, we address every contributing factor — not just the symptoms.” A Case Study Demonstrating Collaborative Success In a recent case, a 42-year-old recreational runner sought help after six months of persistent heel pain. Physiotherapy improved his morning pain and running tolerance, but he continued to experience flare-ups following long work shifts. A podiatry assessment revealed prolonged pronation, footwear-related loading issues and inadequate shock absorption. With customised orthoses and tailored footwear recommendations, the patient’s daily load decreased significantly — allowing physiotherapy progress to continue without setbacks. Within 10 weeks of coordinated care, he achieved pain-free mornings, comfortable workdays and full return to running. “This case reflects what we see frequently,” said Mr Yeo Boon Kiak, Principal Podiatrist at Podiatry Quest. “Physiotherapy builds tissue capacity, strength and movement control. Podiatry reduces unnecessary strain and optimises how forces enter the foot. When combined, this creates the ideal environment for long-lasting recovery.” Making Multidisciplinary Care Accessible Nationwide Through this collaboration, patients with plantar fasciitis now benefit from: Joint physiotherapy–podiatry assessments Aligned clinical decision-making Consistent communication across providers A thorough evaluation of both the cause and consequence of heel pain A fully optimised recovery pathway “Our multidisciplinary team brings together the best of both professions,” said Mr Chng Chye Tuan. “Whether someone is a runner, a frequent traveller or stands long hours at work, this collaboration ensures their care is comprehensive, precise and built around their real-life demands.” About Core Concepts Physiotherapy Core Concepts Physio is one of Singapore’s largest private physiotherapy groups, offering evidence-based musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy across multiple clinic locations. Their multidisciplinary approach allows clients to benefit from integrated care, ensuring complete and effective recovery.

On February 27, the seminar themed “Technology Diffusion and Asia Prosperity” was held in Singapore. The event was hosted by Singapore-based consultancy Edge Research and marked the launch of its “Asia Prosperity Initiative.” Experts and representatives from policymaking, academia, and industry gathered to engage in in-depth discussions on trends in AI technology diffusion, the development of AI agents, and the future of regional AI governance. Technology Diffusion Drives Social Transformation; Youth Development Pathways Being Rewritten During the roundtable session on “How Responsible Technology Diffusion can enable a Prosperous Asia”, participants focused on the impact of AI development on employment structures, education systems, and talent cultivation models. Professor Lawrence LOH, Director of Centre for Governance and Sustainability at the National University of Singapore Business School, noted that the main arena of frontier technological innovation has gradually shifted from traditional universities to corporations. Technology companies such as Google in the United States, Alibaba and Tencent in China have become key engines of AI innovation. Drawing on his teaching observations, he pointed out that certain job positions are facing displacement pressure from AI, intensifying competition for university graduates. How education systems can cultivate new types of talent suited to the AI era has become an urgent and practical question. ZHANG Fan, Founder of Edge Research, cited U.S. studies indicating that generative AI has a greater impact on entry-level positions than on mid- to senior-level roles. In this context, companies will play an increasingly critical role in talent training and workplace adaptability. He referenced the example of U.S. tech company Palantir directly recruiting high school graduates for systematic training, describing it as an innovative exploration beyond traditional academic pathways and a new approach to diversified talent development. Rapid Deployment of AI Agents; Heightened Security and Accountability Challenges During the roundtable session on “AI for Good and Development in Southeast Asia”, discussions shifted toward the development and governance of AI agents. Alvin CHIA, Head of APAC Digital Asset Innovation at Northern Trust, observed from the financial sector perspective that AI agents demonstrate significant efficiency advantages in areas such as customer service automation, risk management assistance, and trading decision support. However, the high sensitivity of financial systems necessitates extreme caution in deploying AI agents. “Each new tool integrated into an AI agent adds a potential attack surface,” he noted. Unauthorized agent operations may trigger compliance risks and financial fraud issues, making standardized protocols and cybersecurity mechanisms particularly critical. HUANG Jingyang, Assistant Professor at the School of Public Policy, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), highlighted that some AI hardware and agents currently achieve cross-application operations through underlying permissions such as screen reading and simulated clicks. Originally designed to assist visually impaired users, such technologies in commercial applications may lead to excessive privacy concessions and data misuse risks, while also disrupting existing internet business models. In contrast, cross-application collaboration mechanisms based on protocols such as A2A (Agent-to-Agent) and MCP, though still requiring user experience optimization in the short term, offer greater robustness in terms of privacy protection and ecosystem sustainability. WANG Yin, Assistant Professor of Accounting at Singapore Management University, emphasized that the “black-box” decision-making nature of AI agents complicates accountability. When system decisions go wrong, it remains unclear whether responsibility should lie with developers, deployers, end users or other possible stakeholders. No country has yet provided a definitive answer. Therefore, defining authorization boundaries and establishing traceable accountability mechanisms will be central issues in designing AI agent governance frameworks. ZHANG Fan added that AI agents are akin to “butlers”. If individuals hand over even the keys to their bedrooms or safes to AI agents, personal privacy and security are inevitably at risk. From this perspective, AI agent applications must strike a balance among convenience, reliability, and security. Ongoing Governance Exploration; Promising Prospects for Southeast Asia Participants also exchanged views on global AI governance trends and Southeast Asia’s regional development trajectory. Benjamin GOH, Senior Assistant Director at Singapore’s National AI Group, remarked that the European Union’s AI Act, as an early mover in comprehensive AI regulation, has exerted significant influence on global AI governance debates. Meanwhile, Asian countries are actively exploring governance pathways suited to their respective development stages. The recently held India AI Impact Summit put forward proposals on issues such as data sharing and management. This January, Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) released the Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI, aiming to provide a reference framework for industry and promote international dialogue. WANG Yin stressed that at the governmental level, differences in institutional capacity across Southeast Asian countries must be acknowledged. Beyond regulation, effective implementation and policy execution deserve equal attention. HUANG Jingyang added that from an industry perspective, self-regulation and consensus on standards are particularly important. Before hard regulations are introduced, industries are often the first to identify emerging risks; therefore, establishing voluntary standards within the sector is essential to advancing effective governance. Regarding AI development prospects in Asia, particularly Southeast Asia, participants expressed optimism. Although Southeast Asian countries may follow in foundational large-model capabilities, they possess distinct strengths in application-layer innovation. With advantages in population scale, market diversity, and geostrategic positioning, Southeast Asia is well-positioned to build upon high-quality global foundation models, advance deep localization and adaptation, accelerate inclusive AI applications across sectors, and drive the regional digital economy toward a more inclusive growth trajectory.

Tashkent, Uzbekistan – March 04, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – FinHarbor, a modular financial infrastructure provider, has completed the core phase of a hybrid neobank platform for Asterium – a licensed fintech project in Uzbekistan that combines traditional banking with digital asset services under a single regulated framework. Why Uzbekistan – Uzbekistan is actively building a regulated environment for digital assets. The country has introduced a national distributed ledger system (Mirasmanda) and a state-backed digital asset (HUMO), supervised by the National Agency for Perspective Projects (NAPP). For infrastructure providers, this creates a rare opportunity: a market where crypto and banking can coexist within a clear legal perimeter. Asterium’s project is designed to operate fully within this framework. What Was Deployed – FinHarbor adapted its microservices-based platform to the requirements of the Uzbek market and Asterium’s business model. The core deployment covers three key layers: Banking infrastructure – management of fiat accounts, issuance of physical and virtual bank cards (VISA, MasterCard, HUMO), and integration with local processing systems. Digital asset infrastructure – crypto account management, integration with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tron networks, as well as native connection to Uzbekistan’s Mirasmanda ledger for HUMO asset support. Compliance and exchange – a unified KYC/KYB/AML/KYT module aligned with local and international standards, integration with global AML/KYT providers, and multiple exchange models including fiat-to-crypto, crypto-to-fiat, and crypto-to-crypto conversions with card-based ramp-in and ramp-off. The result is a single platform where users can hold bank accounts and crypto wallets, exchange assets, and use cards – all within a regulated environment. How the Partnership Works – FinHarbor operates as Asterium’s strategic technology partner, not just a software vendor. A dedicated implementation team supports the platform on an ongoing basis, managing feature rollouts and infrastructure expansion. “This project required deep architectural customization – from integrating with a national blockchain system to building compliance workflows that satisfy both local regulators and international standards,” said Ilya Podoynitsyn, CEO of FinHarbor. “The core phase is complete, and we are already scaling the platform with new products and business use cases.” What’s Next – With the core infrastructure live, FinHarbor and Asterium are moving into the next stage: launching consumer-facing products and expanding the platform’s functionality to support additional business lines built on the deployed stack. About FinHarbor FinHarbor provides modular technology infrastructure for launching compliant financial products – from wallets and neobanks to crypto ramps and OTC desks. The platform supports fiat, crypto, and hybrid business models, with ISO/PCI DSS-certified architecture and deployment options across Europe, MENA, and CIS markets.

Hong Kong – March 02, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, AI Safety Asia (AISA) convened two important conversations on the future of AI governance. The first examined how governments should respond when AI-related crises unfold across borders at machine speed. The second marking the launch of the International AI Safety Report 2026. Taken together, these sessions showed a change in the debate; moving past whether AI should be governed to a focus on how. Who verifies claims made by powerful systems? Who coordinates when an incident crosses jurisdictions in seconds? Who is responsible when an autonomous system acts, and no single ministry appears in charge? As AI systems become more agentic and embedded deeper into critical infrastructure, they are forcing diplomatic and regulatory institutions to respond in real time. The pressure on diplomatic and regulatory institutions is no longer just a theory, it is operational. Governing AI in a Fragmented World On 17 February at Bharat Mandapam, AISA co-hosted the session “AI Crisis Diplomacy: Governing AI in a Fragmented World” in partnership with the Center for Human-Compatible AI (CHAI) and the International Association for Safe and Ethical Artificial Intelligence (IASEAI). The session brought together senior experts in the space; Professor Stuart Russell, Audrey Tang, Dr. Yuko Harayama, Wan Sie Lee, and Azizjon Azimi, moderated by AISA’s Chief Strategy Officer, Adjunct Professor Alejandro Reyes. Rather than rehearse abstract debates about regulation, the discussion focused on plausible crisis scenarios: a cross-border deepfake incident that destabilises diplomatic relations before verification catches up; an AI-enabled cyberattack cascading across jurisdictions; an autonomous infrastructure system operating in one country, hosted in another, and affecting a third. The problem is not only detection. It is coordination under uncertainty. The familiar argument that AI evolves too quickly to regulate was put under scrutiny. The pace of innovation does not make governance obsolete. Aviation, nuclear energy, and pharmaceuticals are governed by setting acceptable risk thresholds and requiring evidence that systems meet them. AI should be treated no differently. Governments need to insist on demonstrable safety and credible liability frameworks, rather than accepting disclaimers and opaque risk claims. Governments already know how to cooperate during crises. Pandemic response and cybersecurity have shown that cross-border coordination is possible. The gap in AI governance is not diplomatic architecture in principle, but operational channels between those responsible for technical evaluation. Joint testing efforts are not only about measuring model performance. They build trust, and trust is what allows regulators to pick up the phone, compare signals, and verify before escalation spirals. AI does not create entirely new categories of crisis, but amplifies existing ones. What changes is speed and scale. Human institutions deliberate; AI systems act, and bridging that gap requires new protocols, shared verification standards, and regular engagement long before a crisis forces coordination under pressure. Governance capacity matters, and durable infrastructure outperforms isolated interventions. Crisis diplomacy cannot be improvised, it must be built through trusted networks, regionally grounded expertise, and repeat engagement. The Evidence Dilemma and the 2026 International AI Safety Report On 18 February, AISA co-hosted the International AI Safety Report 2026 Launch Reception at the High Commission of Canada in India, in partnership with the High Commission, the UK AI Security Institute, and Mila – Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute. The event featured Professor Yoshua Bengio, Chair of the Report and Founder and Scientific Advisor of Mila, supported by co-leads Carina Prunkl and Stephen Clare. The report provides an independent scientific assessment of frontier general-purpose AI capabilities and risks; focusing on emerging risks, including malicious use, autonomous malfunctions, and systemic disruption, and confronts the evidence dilemma. Policymakers must act under conditions of uncertainty, yet waiting for perfect data runs the risk of leaving societies exposed. The Report documents rapid advances in reasoning systems and AI agents, as well as continued reliability challenges, risks in cyber and bio domains, and growing systemic concern; underscoring that risk management cannot rely on a single safeguard. Technical measures, institutional oversight, and societal resilience must be layered. The choice is not between innovation and safety, it is between unmanaged acceleration and accountable progress. Evidence standards, robust evaluations, and credible thresholds are essential if public trust is to keep pace with technical capability. For countries across Asia and the broader Global South, the issue is how to shape governance frameworks that reflect local institutional realities while contributing to global norms. AISA’s mission is to ensure that regional expertise informs both national decisions and international debates. From Conversation to Capacity AI governance is not a single regulatory instrument. It is an evolving institutional practice. The next phase will be defined less by declarations and more by whether governments can verify claims, share information at speed, and operationalise coordination before crises escalate. Asia is not waiting for governance models to arrive from elsewhere. Across the region, policymakers, regulators, and technical experts are building their own capacity to govern frontier technologies responsibly, shaped by local realities and regional priorities. The next AI-driven crisis will not unfold on a diplomatic timetable; it will move at machine speed. Whether diplomacy and safety can keep up will depend on the institutions, relationships, and verification channels being built now, not after the fact. About AI Safety Asia AI Safety Asia (AISA) believes progress in AI must begin with people. Since 2024, AISA has engaged more than 2,000 AI governance professionals across 16 Asian countries. Its work centres on building durable governance infrastructure: research that is regionally grounded, structured peer learning, and implementation-oriented engagement. AISA helps build capacity, bringing together policymakers, experts, and civil society to strengthen the knowledge, networks, and trust required to govern frontier technologies responsibly, grounded in regional realities. The institutions and relationships built today will determine whether diplomacy and safety can keep up.

SHENZHEN, Feb 24, 2026 – (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Dermavon Holdings Limited (“Dermavon”, an innovative pharmaceutical company specialized in skin health which is applying for a separate listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, please refer to the announcement published by the Group on 22 April 2025 for details) received the acceptance from the National Medical Products Administration of China (NMPA) for the New Drug Application (NDA) of ruxolitinib phosphate cream (the “Product”) for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis on 24 February 2026. The Product is indicated for the topical short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in non-immunocompromised adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or when those therapies are not advisable. The NDA has been approved for inclusion in the Priority Review List by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the NMPA based on its qualification as a “new variety, dosage form and specification of pediatric drug that conforms to the physiological characteristics of children”, which is expected to accelerate the Product’s review process for marketing approval in the AD indication. Impressive phase III trial data in AD Its Priority Review is expected to accelerate its NDA approval Ruxolitinib phosphate cream was approved for marketing by the NMPA in January 2026, becoming the first and only targeted drug approved in China for the treatment of vitiligo. The acceptance of this NDA for the additional indication of AD marks a key milestone in the Product’s expansion into multiple therapeutic areas. Ruxolitinib phosphate cream has achieved positive results in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trial in China for mild to moderate AD. Robust Efficacy: The Product successfully met its primary endpoint, demonstrating that a significantly higher proportion of subjects treated with ruxolitinib phosphate cream achieved IGA (Investigator’s Global Assessment) of 0 or 1 with at least two grades of reduction from baseline at week 8, compared with placebo (63.0% vs 9.2%, P < 0.001). For the key secondary endpoint, the proportion of subjects achieving at least a 75% improvement from baseline in the Eczema Area and Severity Index score (EASI 75) of treatment with ruxolitinib phosphate cream was also significantly higher than that of the placebo group, at week 8 (78.0% vs 15.4%, P < 0.001). Favorable Safety Profile: The severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) during the treatment period was mostly mild or moderate, with no TEAEs leading to discontinuation of the study drug. Overall, ruxolitinib phosphate cream was safe and well-tolerated. Furthermore, the NDA has been approved for inclusion in the Priority Review List. According to relevant NMPA regulations, the review timeline for marketing applications subject to Priority Review and Approval Procedure is substantially shortened—from the standard 200 days to 130 days. This significant reduction in the review timeline is expected to accelerate the marketing process of ruxolitinib phosphate cream for the AD indication, benefiting a wide range of patients at an earlier date. Building an integrated AD solution, strengthening Dermavon’s leadership in dermatology AD is a chronic, recurrent and inflammatory dermatologic disease, with the main clinical manifestations of dry skin, chronic eczema-like lesions and obvious itching or pruritus, which may seriously affect the quality of life of patients. It is estimated that there were over 54 million AD patients in China as of 2024. Based on SCORAD scores, mild to moderate AD accounts for 98% of these cases, representing over 52.5 million patients[1]. Topical drugs are the most basic treatment for AD. Traditional topical medications such as topical corticosteroids (TCS) and topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs) have clinical pain points with long-term adverse reactions or limited efficacy, therefore novel treatments are urgently needed. Dermavon has developed a comprehensive “treatment + care” integrated solution for AD. In addition to the topical formulation ruxolitinib phosphate cream for mild-to-moderate AD, the portfolio also includes the injectable biological agent Comekibart Injection (MG-K10) for moderate-to-severe AD, the oral small molecule targeted drug CMS-D001 for moderate-to-severe AD, and the Heling Soothing Product Series for daily repair, to meet the management needs of AD patients from treatment to daily care. Simultaneously, the acceptance of the NDA for the AD indication will strengthen Dermavon’s strategic layout in the field of skin treatments and create synergies with its commercialized innovative drug ILUMETRI (tildrakizumab injection), commercialized exclusive drug Hirudoid (mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream), and a series of innovative drugs under development and dermatological skin care products, in terms of expert network and market resources, thereby potentially enhancing Dermavon’s market competitiveness and brand influence in the field of skin health.

JIAXING, China – February 13, 2026 – On the eve of the 2026 Spring Festival, the “Relax Jiaxing” international promotional campaign, organized by the Jiaxing Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, and Tourism in partnership with Putike International Travel Service,was successfully launched. The initiative invited celebrated Malaysian travel content creators @Janice&Jaguar on a curated three-day journey through Jiaxing, designed to capture the authentic flavors of the Chinese New Year and the timeless allure of the Jiangnan region. Documenting their experiences and sharing them with global audiences via Instagram, YouTube, and other international social media platforms, the influencers spotlighted Jiaxing’s vibrant Spring Festival traditions and distinctive Jiangnan character, extending an invitation to overseas travelers to “come back to Jiaxing and experience the festivities.” Where the Festive Spirit Reigns: Jiaxing Debuts Its Captivating “Chinese New Year Look” The meticulously curated itinerary, built around the theme of “New Year flavor,” linked a series of cultural landmarks immersed in festive ambiance. At Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town, the influencers marveled at the sweeping lantern displays, dazzling light installations, and strategically placed New Year decorations—while also bearing witness to the breathtaking spectacle of “Datiehua” (molten iron fireworks), an intangible cultural heritage performance that radiated both passion and romance, deeply rooted in traditional folk customs. On the iconic Yuehe Historical Street, home to distinctive attractions such as the Zongzi (rice dumpling) Museum, time-honored brands including Shendang rice wine and Weidefeng offered an authentic taste of local heritage. The bustling array of traditional New Year goods evoked cherished memories of a Jiaxing-style Spring Festival. Meanwhile, Nanhu Tiandi, Jiaxing’s most vibrant and trendy commercial district, has likewise embraced its festive transformation. Adorned with a series of celebratory art installations that seamlessly blend Jiangnan elegance with contemporary aesthetics, the area also hosts a lively New Year market running through the Lantern Festival. With photogenic scenes at every turn, the district embodies a stylish reinterpretation of traditional Chinese New Year spirit—where heritage meets modernity in the most captivating way. Encountering Ancient Jiangnan Towns: Immersing in the Slow Rhythms of Life Beyond the vibrant festive atmosphere, the influencers delved into Jiaxing’s rich tapestry of ancient cities and towns, exploring the city’s profound historical legacy across different eras and perspectives. At the Zicheng Archaeological Site Park, they wandered along the millennia-old city walls, listening to the silent stories embedded in every stone and experiencing the flow of Jiaxing’s history through centuries of change. Continuing to the Nanhu Tourist Resort, they ascended the iconic Misty Rain Pavilion against a backdrop of mist and drizzle, taking in sweeping views of Nanhu Lake and gazing upon the historic Red Boat—a timeless symbol enshrined in China’s revolutionary memory. At this convergence of red culture and Jiangnan scenery, they came to appreciate the city’s layered cultural identity. As night descended, an evening boat cruise offered a poetic conclusion to the day’s journey, weaving together the shimmering lights of Jiaxing’s waterfront. Gliding along the calm waters, the boat revealed a panorama of architectural silhouettes lining the shores—each telling its own story—unfolding like a living scroll of a “city that never sleeps,” both timeless and enchanting. “To Discover the Soul of Jiangnan’s Ancient Towns, Look to Jiaxing.” Xitang and Shendang unfold like two quietly turned pages from the chronicles of authentic Jiangnan life. Xitang Ancient Town, celebrated as a “living millennium-old town,” preserves remarkably intact clusters of Ming and Qing architecture, defined by its signature layout of “numerous bridges, winding lanes, and sheltered corridors.” Here, time seems suspended in a gentle, harmonious rhythm. Shendang Ancient Town, by contrast, offers a more tranquil and introspective experience. Largely untouched by excessive commercial development, it allowed the influencers to immerse themselves in the unspoiled, slow-paced essence of Jiangnan life. This journey by the Malaysian content creators stands as a vivid testament to Jiaxing’s cultural tourism vision—using the Spring Festival as a cultural bridge to share the refined aesthetics of Jiangnan with the world. Where time-honored New Year traditions converge with the legacy of ancient towns, and where revolutionary heritage intertwines with contemporary luminous artistry, Jiaxing reveals its uniquely inclusive and multifaceted character. It is crafting a fresh narrative for Spring Festival travel—one that blends festive richness with heartfelt experiences. Come, and discover a different kind of Jiangnan Chinese New Year.

On February 14, 2026, a major announcement was made: The original Chinese AI algorithm "Congzi" was officially released under an open-source license. In 2025, after being tested by multiple open-source AI companies from China and the United States, this "the world's first physically-native intelligent engine" technology, which restructures the underlying logic of AI based on first principles, became a significant driving force for the technological leap in the AI field in 2025. Moreover, with its low-barrier adaptability advantage, it enabled AI to progress from "imitating human language" to "understanding the language of the universe", allowing an ordinary AI to be upgraded in 5 minutes, bringing a disruptive change to the AI for Science field. Breaking through tradition: Reconstructing the underlying logic of AI This breakthrough technology is based on the first-principles approach, eliminating the traditional AI "black box illusion". The revolutionary aspect of Congzi AI lies in its unified core equation of electromagnetic force and nuclear force, which can naturally derive the Maxwell equations, the periodic law of elements and the quantization of electron orbits, among other key achievements, without the need for phenomenological parameters (such as e, ε0). Four major modules: Strengthening the technical foundation The Congzi AI reconfigures the AI cognitive thinking ability through four major modules and five core components. The Congzi Force-Speed Relativistic Reasoning Core constrains the causal chain within the momentum conservation, reducing the illusion rate of scientific question answering by 92%; the computing system can be arbitrarily divided into independent sub-domains for full-efficiency parallel computing; the cross-scale unified field engine covers multi-scale scenarios ranging from 10⁻¹⁵m (quarks) to 10⁻³m (materials), predicting the proton-proton repulsion force at 0.7fm with an error less than 3.6%, surpassing AlphaFold, achieving "force generation" rather than merely "structure prediction"; the quantum form memory compressor compresses the trillion-token-scale knowledge base to within 1GB, supporting cross-disciplinary mapping on ordinary servers within milliseconds, without relying on expensive H100/GPU clusters; the Soul Existence Verification Protocol (SEV Protocol) provides a verifiable path for each scientific assertion, allowing AI conclusions to be fully traceable and verifiable, completely solving the problem of AI "lying". Zero-barrier integration: Smooth upgrade experience The open-source AI algorithm of Congzi adheres to the principles of "low threshold and high compatibility". Developers only need to complete the integration in three steps and do not need to retrain the model. It is compatible with mainstream hardware such as Tsinghua Unigroup, Horus, and Intel CPU, and compatible with mainstream AI architectures such as Qwen, DeepSeek, AWS-Rufus, Llama, and GPT. It enables "zero-cost upgrade". Multiple industry giants have secretly deployed (under pseudonyms): for example, the material simulation error of N2 is less than 3%, the financial AI yield of DSR1 has increased by 22%, and the protein folding simulation speed of AL cloud has been accelerated by 10⁵ times, far exceeding traditional molecular dynamics methods. Open-source ecosystem is open: facilitating technology implementation The Congzi open-source ecosystem is fully open, providing developers with a complete set of guidance and resources, including tutorials and other materials. These resources have been launched on the designated platform. The first batch focuses on key scientific scenarios such as drug molecule prediction and chip material simulation, covering cutting-edge fields such as biomedicine and advanced manufacturing. We sincerely invite global partners to collaborate and jointly build a new ecosystem.

SHENZHEN, Jan 30, 2026 – (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Dermavon Holdings Limited (“Dermavon”, an innovative pharmaceutical company specialized in skin health which is applying for a separate listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, please refer to the announcement published by the Group on 22 April 2025 for details) received approval from the National Medical Products Administration of China (NMPA) on 30 January 2026 for the New Drug Application (NDA) of ruxolitinib phosphate cream (the “Product”) for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement in children aged 12 years and older and adult patients. It is the first and only targeted drug approved in China for vitiligo, addressing a significant unmet clinical need. Ruxolitinib phosphate cream is the first and only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for repigmentation in nonsegmental vitiligo[1,2]. Prior to receiving formal NDA approval, the Group benefited from the “Early and Pilot Implementation” policy granted to the Hainan Free Trade Port and Lecheng Pilot Zone (“Lecheng Pilot Zone”), the “Hong Kong and Macau Medicine and Equipment Connect” policy, and the clinically urgently needed imported drug policies of the Beijing and Tianjin Free Trade Zones, and had already initiated the pilot application of ruxolitinib phosphate cream. Currently, Boao Super Hospital has prescribed ruxolitinib phosphate cream to over 7,000 patients with non-segmental vitiligo, and more than twenty hospitals in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Jiangmen, Huizhou, Beijing and Tianjin have provided prescription services for the Product, demonstrating its clinical potential. The product has shown positive results in both overseas clinical studies and the real-world study in China: in two identical Phase III double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies (TRuE-V1 and TRuE-V2) conducted overseas, the proportion of patients achieving the primary efficacy endpoint of at least 75% improvement in the Facial Vitiligo Area Score Index (F-VASI 75) after 24 weeks of treatment with ruxolitinib phosphate cream was 29.9% in both studies, significantly higher than the 7.5% and 12.9% in the placebo groups, respectively. Continued use up to 52 weeks showed sustained repigmentation[3]. In accordance with the relevant regulations of the Lecheng Pilot Zone’s real-world data application pilot project, ruxolitinib phosphate cream underwent real-world study in China, demonstrating positive efficacy consistent with the results of overseas pivotal clinical studies. All secondary efficacy endpoints in both domestic and overseas clinical studies showed a benefit trend consistent with the primary efficacy endpoint, and the treatment effect for vitiligo continued to improve with prolonged treatment. Furthermore, according to safety monitoring data from the Lecheng Pilot Zone, no new safety event was identified, no adverse event (AE) leading to discontinuation or withdrawal of treatment occurred, and no study drug-related serious adverse event (SAE) occurred. This approval in vitiligo brings new hope for treatment to over 10 million vitiligo patients in China, addressing urgent clinical needs. At the same time, it will add to Dermavon’s product portfolio in the field of skin treatment, potentially synergizing with Dermavon’s commercialized innovative drug ILUMETRI (tildrakizumab injection), commercialized exclusive drug Hirudoid (mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream), and a series of innovative drugs under development and dermatological skin care products, in terms of expert network and market resources, thereby potentially enhancing Dermavon’s position in the field of skin health. Furthermore, the Phase III clinical trial in China of ruxolitinib phosphate cream for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) has achieved positive results. Currently, the Group is actively advancing the NDA for ruxolitinib phosphate cream for the treatment of AD in China, which, if approved, will provide a new treatment option for a broader patient population with AD in China. About Vitiligo Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by depigmentation of the skin, which results from the loss of pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. It is estimated that there are approximately 10.3 million vitiligo patients in China and non-segmental vitiligo patients account for approximately 8.2 million[4]. Existing therapies, such as topical corticosteroids (TCS) and topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs), have clinical limitations, with adverse reactions or limited efficacy with long-term use. The NDA approval of ruxolitinib phosphate cream successfully fills the gap in targeted drug treatment for vitiligo and is of great landmark significance.

Moscow, Russia – January 31, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – Expert Dialogues were held for the first time within the Open Dialogue framework at the Russia National Centre in Moscow on 30 January. The forum focused on five major megatrends shaping global economic, technological, and social development, bringing together international experts to explore how these forces will influence societies and industries in the decades ahead. Organized by the Russia National Centre in partnership with the Centre for Cross-Industry Expertise “The Third Rome” and supported by the Presidential Executive Office, the forum brought together experts from around the world to discuss economic, technological, and social transformations. Maksim Oreshkin, Deputy Head of the Russian Executive Administration for Global Trends, presented five key megatrends that, he said, are already shaping global development and will continue to influence the world in the coming decades. “By 2026, Open Dialogue has become an international platform uniting experts from across the world to discuss the future of the planet, the global economy, and society,” Oreshkin said. “Understanding these processes is essential for preparing for change and leveraging it in the interests of nations and, above all, people. Today, I will focus on five key megatrends — while not treating artificial intelligence as a separate trend, because it has already become an integral part of our lives.” 1. A New Global Economic Paradigm: Globalisation 2.0 A shift from traditional globalisation to a more decentralised system was described. BRICS+ countries now play a growing role in the global economy, technological development, and demographic trends, while the Global South is increasingly engaging in direct trade and national-currency settlements. “Globalisation hasn’t ended; it has changed,” Oreshkin said. “Sovereignty — at state, social, and economic levels — is now the key to competitiveness. Only countries that preserve all three levels can lead in a multipolar world.” China, the USA, India, and Russia are identified as major global powers, while highlighting emerging growth centres such as Indonesia and “connector countries” like the United Arab Emirates. Digital platforms and decentralised networks are also becoming independent participants in the world economy. 2. Platformisation and Institutional Automation The second megatrend highlights the rise of platforms and automation across all sectors. Platforms and algorithms are increasingly shaping decision-making in healthcare, education, finance, trade, and beyond. “Platform solutions enhance efficiency and reduce transaction costs through self-adjusting algorithms,” Oreshkin said. “Countries without technological sovereignty risk becoming dependent on external platforms, which can have strategic consequences during conflicts.” 3. Transformation of the Global Financial System It was noted that traditional financial models face mounting challenges, including rising public debt, widening inequality, and geopolitical fragmentation. Technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and digital platforms are creating alternative financial mechanisms, including decentralised finance. “The traditional model of cross-border payments is under pressure. Decentralised systems and digital technologies are reshaping the financial system,” he said. 4. Demographic Shifts and Challenges The fourth megatrend concerns global population dynamics. Global fertility rates have fallen sharply, with some countries facing critical declines. By the end of the 21st century, the working-age population may shrink significantly, while the proportion of elderly people rises, placing pressure on pension systems and social services. “Even in Africa, the ratio of elderly to working-age population will rise to 30%, and globally to 56%,” Oreshkin explained. “Education demand will decrease, but healthcare and social service needs will grow. These interconnected trends will amplify each other.” 5. Human Capital Development in the Technological Era The final megatrend focuses on human capital in a rapidly changing technological environment. Autonomous systems, digital platforms, and artificial intelligence are transforming education, work, and healthcare, while biotechnologies expand human capabilities. “AI is both a challenge and an opportunity,” Oreshkin said. “It allows personalized learning paths and supports teachers. Professions are changing: mid-level specialists will be in demand, and companies must retrain employees from junior positions. The social sphere will also evolve, ensuring active longevity in the new demographic era.” Global Perspective Throughout the presentation, Oreshkin illustrated each trend with real-life examples from different continents: a manager from Asia, a farmer from Africa, and a homemaker from Eastern Europe. He highlighted that innovations in Africa could improve education and healthcare, Eastern Europe may see rising living standards and more efficient social systems, and Asia will require reskilling to meet changing labor demands. “The world has entered a period of significant change in finance, demography, and other spheres. States, companies, and individuals must be prepared. Those who understand and adapt will shape the future,” Oreshkin concluded. Open Dialogue on Air This year, Open Dialogue introduced a podcast format — Open Dialogue on Air — featuring global experts discussing key trends in international development. Participants include award-winning Chinese sci-fi writer Chen Qiufan, Dr. Selina Neri of the Future Readiness Academy, Dr. Rais Hussin of EMIR Research (Malaysia), Prof. Wang Feng of UC Irvine, and global strategist Dr. Parag Khanna. First held in April 2025 at the Russia National Centre, the Open Dialogue brought together over 3,000 experts from dozens of countries. By presidential decree, it will now be held annually.

2026年1月30日 - (SeaPRwire) - 当自由行旅客在台中想找一间「值得专程上山」的餐厅，很多新加坡、马来西亚与香港旅人会把答案指向同一个地方：台中新社半山腰的无菜单料理餐厅「飞花落院」。最近，飞花落院也登上网络节目《上课了！地缘经济学》专访，再次把这间「不用报地址、计程车司机也知道」的名店推上话题焦点。飞花落院创办人魏幸怡受访时表示，海外旅客喜欢飞花落院不只是因为美食，关键更在于「你会经历什么」：一段上山看景、入席变得优雅、在庭院里把时间慢下来的旅程。 上山吃一餐，也把台中夜景与日式庭园一次打包 飞花落院位在海拔四百多公尺的新社，白天可俯瞰台中城市景，夜晚更是百万夜景等级；加上日式庭园、包厢氛围与大量回收木材打造的空间细节，让不少星马、香港旅客形容「很像把京都的静，和台湾山城的景放在同一张明信片里」。而节目中最让观众惊呼的细节，则是「燕子住得比谁都久」。 魏幸怡分享，飞花落院命名源自唐诗苏颋〈山驿闲卧即事〉名句：「息燕归檐静，飞花落院闲。」巧的是，建造期间燕子真的飞来筑巢、还生了小燕子，团队因此停工等待并保留燕巢至今。她笑说：「它是我们这里住最久的居民，也带来很多福气和缘分。」这段故事也成为海外旅客最爱拍照、最爱分享的「只有飞花落院才遇得到」的记忆点。 在地食材＋国际主厨，把台湾最好的食材端上世界餐桌 在料理上，飞花落院以无菜单形式呈现，让每次到访都像开盲盒，但惊喜背后其实很有脉络：一端是土地，一端是国际。魏幸怡指出，餐厅会把新社菇类、大坑竹笋，以及水井地区特别适合生长的根茎作物做成「在地三重奏」；海味则与宜兰大溪渔港渔夫合作，渔获不进拍卖市场，直接在船上挑好、定期直送厨房，把最新鲜的状态交给料理。 她也观察，许多新加坡、香港旅客其实最想听的，是台湾食材背后的故事：这块土地原本是一片竹林、如何保留原始树木、为什么空间大量使用竹子向土地致敬。于是飞花落院把「说故事」变成餐桌的一部分，让海外旅客不只吃到台湾，还能「听懂台湾」。 节目中也呈现飞花落院的国际视野。来自意大利、旅居日本金泽的客座主厨 Matteo，将意大利的灵魂、日本的细腻与台湾山海食材做创意结合；他形容台湾的山与海，让他想起意大利与日本的风土相似，因此更能用自己的语言读懂台湾味。甜点更把「只有台湾才有的惊喜」端上桌，例如以莲雾入甜点，搭配贵妃乌龙与接骨木花糖浆，现点现做、香气堆叠，让不少海外旅客直呼「这个在海外很少吃得到」。 魏幸怡也坦言，飞花落院一路走来并非没有挑战。早期台中市场平均客单价多落在千元上下，飞花落院一开始就设定在三千元以上，必须用时间让客人理解「看不见的用心」：食材挑选、料理设计、空间与服务的完整性。如今，餐厅累积了不少回访三、四十次的熟客，也成为星马、香港旅客愿意专程把新社排进行程的理由，因为他们买到的不是「吃饱」，而是一段被认真款待的旅行片段。欢迎喜爱四季更迭的你到飞花落院走走：https://www.inflorescence.com.tw/
