SST001, an α-syn PET tracer from Mabwell's incubated company SynuSight Biotech, received NMPA approval to initiate a clinical trial
SHANGHAI , April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mabwell (688062.SH), an innovation-driven biopharmaceutical company with a fully integrated industry chain, announced that 18 F-FD4 (R&D code: SST001), an α-synuclein (α-syn) targeted PET tracer independently developed by its incubated company SynuSight Biotech, has recently been approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to initiate a Phase I clinical trial. The clinical trial to be initiated is a non-randomized, open-label study to be conducted at Huashan Hospital, Fudan University and the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University. The study plans to enroll healthy volunteers, patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA), and patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, biodistribution, radiation dosimetry, and pharmacokinetics of SST001, thereby supporting subsequent clinical development. Abnormal aggregation and deposition of α-syn protein are key pathological features of α-synucleinopathies such as PD and MSA. However, current clinical diagnosis still relies mainly on clinical symptom assessment and indirect functional imaging biomarkers. As an α-syn-specific PET molecular tracer validated through IIT (Investigator-Initiated Trial) studies, SST001 enables in vivo, real‐time, qualitative, and quantitative detection. It is expected to provide more objective and quantifiable imaging evidence for early diagnosis and disease subtyping of PD and MSA, as well as potential imaging support for subject screening and efficacy evaluation in clinical trials of related therapeutic drugs. According to data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 1990–2021, there were approximately 11.8 million PD patients worldwide in 2021, of which Chinese patients accounted for more than 40%. In China, the number of PD patients increased significantly from 651,800 in 1990 to 5.077 million in 2021, driven mainly by population aging. Although MSA is a rare disease, it progresses more rapidly and has a poorer prognosis, with a median survival of only 6 to 10 years, resulting in a significant disease burden. Previously, SST001, partnering with XingImaging, has received high recognition from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF) and obtained a research grant of US$3.84 million, which will be specifically used to support its clinical research advancement in the United States. In January this year, SST001 received a Research IND clearance from the U.S. FDA, and clinical studies have been successfully initiated with the first subject dosed. Relevant data are being continuously collected. SST001 has now entered clinical stage in both China and the United States, entering a new phase of global development. About SynuSight Biotech SynuSight Biotech is committed to pioneering transformative diagnostic solutions for neurodegenerative diseases through cutting-edge scientific expertise and innovative technology platforms, ultimately benefiting millions of patients worldwide. SynuSight specializes in studying the misfolding and pathological aggregation of proteins such as alpha-synuclein, tau, and A-beta.

NLCS (Singapore) Hosts Inaugural International MUN Conference Uniting Students from Its Global Family of Schools
SINGAPORE , April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NLCS (Singapore) was excited to host its first-ever International Model United Nations (MUN) Conference at the end of February, welcoming students from across the NLCS family of schools, including London, Jeju, Dubai and Kobe. The three-day event brought together young delegates for an immersive experience in diplomatic discourse and global problem-solving. A student delegate engaging during the International Model United Nations Conference at NLCS (Singapore), alongside peers from across the NLCS family of schools. Exploring the theme of 'Bridges Across Borders', the conference challenged students to tackle pressing global issues spanning sustainability and human rights, alongside historic crises including the Berlin Airlift of 1948. Across multiple committee sessions, students represented nations from around the world, negotiating complex resolutions from diverse geopolitical perspectives, gaining a deeper understanding of international relations and diverse perspectives. Bridges Across Borders: Sustainability, Human Rights, and History Chris van Dort, Director of MUN at NLCS Singapore, shared: "It is a genuine privilege to host this event for the first time and welcome schools from across multiple continents. Within the NLCS community, these events emphasise our collective vision of raising awareness for global issues whilst acting as global citizens. Running a conference for the first time has been no small task, and it would not have gone as smoothly without the tireless enthusiasm of our excellent students." Student-Led Preparation Drives Conference Success A significant feature of the conference has been the remarkable level of student leadership involved in its preparation. Much of the planning, training and coordination has been driven by students themselves, with experienced members of the school's MUN co-curricular activity guiding newer participants on effective debate techniques, research strategies and the art of crafting well-structured resolutions. This peer-led approach has not only strengthened the quality of debate during the conference but also reflects the spirit of MUN itself, a platform where students learn to lead, support one another, and take meaningful ownership of their learning. One of NLCS (Singapore)'s students delegates mentioned, "Joining NLCS (Singapore) in its founding year made helping organise NLCSIMUN and chairing a committee especially meaningful. I felt immense pride hosting an event reflecting our school's international culture and academic ambition. Welcoming delegates from sister schools was genuinely exciting - their diverse perspectives made discussions dynamic and insightful. Chairing required vision, adaptability and compassion, deepening my understanding of what MUN truly stands for." Student Chairs Guide Debates and Build Community During the conference itself, this student leadership takes center stage. These student chairs act as subject matter experts in their respective committees, skillfully guiding debates while creating an inclusive environment where even first-time delegates feel empowered to contribute. They also take on a key role in ensuring that guidelines are followed across the weekend. It's this combination of responsibility and support that makes MUN such a powerful learning experience, pushing students to lead while simultaneously helping others find their footing. A committee chair from NLCS London reflected, "Chairing the DISEC committee at NLCSMUN was incredibly rewarding. I was particularly impressed by delegates' enthusiasm and the high level of debate and diplomacy. It was especially fulfilling to see individuals grow in confidence and flourish throughout the conference. The experience truly embodied the theme of 'Bridges Across Borders' and I wished the trip to Singapore could have been longer." Beyond the committee rooms, the conference offers rich opportunities for cultural exchange and connection. Visiting delegates also had the opportunity to explore Singapore together, visiting iconic landmarks while building connections with peers from across the NLCS global network. These shared moments culminate in a celebratory gala dinner, bringing all four schools together for an evening that honors not just their accomplishments, but the genuine friendships and mutual respect that have blossomed throughout the event. On the final day of the conference, students also had the opportunity to visit both Gardens by the Bay and the Art Science museum, getting the chance to explore cultural sites together and build fantastic memories. Cultural Exchange Beyond the Committee Rooms For many students, participating in MUN is a transformative experience that encourages them to think beyond their immediate environment and engage thoughtfully with global challenges. They discover their own voices, learn to articulate complex ideas with clarity, and advocate persuasively for positions they may not have considered before. This process of intellectual challenge and personal growth helps them develop empathy, resilience, and the confidence to engage with difficult questions, exemplifying NLCS's steadfast commitment to developing globally minded citizens equipped with critical thinking, diplomacy, and collaborative problem-solving skills needed to navigate an increasingly interconnected world. Ultimately, they learn that effective leadership isn't about having all the answers, it's about asking the right questions, valuing diverse perspectives, and working together toward solutions that serve the greater good Developing Global Citizens Through MUN Students from NLCS Kobe reflected on their experience, noting "It made me realise that if I work hard, I can do really well and that motivated me to be better. I liked how everyone was friendly and supportive and even picked up a few new English vocabulary and phrases, which inspired me to learn more." The inaugural International MUN Conference at NLCS (Singapore) has set a powerful precedent for what the NLCS global network can achieve when students are given the platform to lead. Over three remarkable days, delegates from London, Jeju, Dubai, and Kobe did not just debate resolutions - they built lasting connections, challenged their own perspectives, and demonstrated the kind of thoughtful, collaborative leadership the world needs. In creating this space for student voice and international collaboration, NLCS (Singapore) has shown that when young people are empowered to engage meaningfully with global challenges, they don't just rise to the occasion, they inspire others to do the same.

Heavy industry could grow global output while using up to 45% less energy by 2050
30-50% of costs for heavy industry come from energy consumption 25-45% reduction in energy use across aluminium, aviation, cement, plastics & chemicals, shipping and steel is achievable through energy productivity measures including longer product lifetimes and higher recycling rates A c.40%-60% reduction in "green premiums" for aviation and shipping is possible by combining energy productivity with decarbonisation LONDON , April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Improving energy productivity can meet rising needs for housing, mobility and goods while reducing reliance on expensive fossil fuels and the need for new energy infrastructure, says a new report from the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) and Mission Possible Partnership (MPP) published today. Energy productivity measures the economic value generated from each unit of energy – improving it delivers the same (or greater) output from less energy. The report shows that more efficient ships, planes and industrial plants, using less material, using things for longer and recycling more can reduce the cost and complexity of decarbonising energy-intensive industries while strengthening industrial competitiveness. Energy-intensive sectors, aluminium, aviation, cement, plastics & chemicals, shipping and steel, form the foundations of modern economies: our houses, transport and goods. Together, these sectors account for around a quarter of global energy demand. By 2025, steel, aluminium, cement and plastics & chemicals demand is expected to grow 25%-100%, aviation 150%, and shipping 45%, driven by rising global prosperity, urbanisation and industrialisation. This growth could be delivered using 25-45% less energy and at lower cost, by improving energy productivity, compared to a scenario with no productivity gains, says the new briefing Harnessing energy productivity for industrial competitiveness . Three complementary strategies can reduce energy demand across energy-intensive sectors: 1. Technical efficiency - reducing the kWh input required to deliver the same product or service. 2. Service efficiency - reducing the volume of product or service required to deliver the same standard. 3. Material efficiency - reducing the material input to deliver a given product. "Clean electricity and low-carbon fuels are essential to decarbonise steel, cement, plastics & chemicals, aluminium, aviation and shipping - and while they carry modest "green premiums", these are manageable at consumer level. Improving energy productivity by using materials more efficiently and deploying better technologies, enables us to meet rising demand for buildings, products and transport while reducing energy demand and related costs," said Adair Turner, Co-Chair of the Energy Transitions Commission. " The energy crisis provoked by the conflict in the Middle East is a reminder of how exposed many economies still are to fossil energy supply disruptions and price spikes that feed through into everything from transport and industry to food production. The shift to clean industrial supply chains, anchored to a much greater extent in domestically produced energy, chemicals, and materials (including recycled materials), is essential to make economies more resilient. And using these resources more effectively will make the transition cheaper and faster. " said Faustine Delasalle, CEO of Mission Possible Partnership. The opportunity is substantial. Recycling aluminium is approximately 95% less energy-intensive than new production. In cement, reducing clinker content and optimising building design represent the largest levers to lower energy requirements. Decarbonising some energy-intensive sectors requires a transition to low-carbon solutions, such as hydrogen, ammonia, bioresources, and carbon capture and storage (CCS). These low-carbon solutions are themselves energy intensive and depend on a scaling up of clean energy infrastructure. As industries adopt low-carbon solutions, productivity improvements can limit cost increases to materials and transport, and reduce the impact on businesses and consumers. The Energy Transitions Commission and Mission Possible Partnership's work is anchored in four priorities that define this decisive decade: Doubling the rate of energy efficiency improvement to 4% per year by 2030; Tripling global renewable power capacity by 2030; Electrify - scaling clean electrification of growing energy demand; and Build Clean Now , moving clean industrial capacity from ambition to execution. Energy productivity improvements align with all four priorities.

When Demand Becomes the System: Delonix and the Rewriting of Hospitality's Operating Logic
SHENZHEN, China , April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 30, Delonix Group presented two new initiatives at its 2026 strategy conference: Genie AI, embedded in its Betterwood App, and a customer experience framework known as the Heavenly Stems & Earthly Branches Model. Delonix Group 2026 Strategy Conference Individually, they resemble product and service upgrades. Taken together, they suggest something more structural: an attempt to replace the logic on which the hospitality industry has operated for decades. For most of its modern history, the sector has been governed by a simple equation—growth through physical expansion. More rooms, better locations, higher occupancy. Scale was both strategy and moat. That equation is beginning to break. Chairman Zheng Nanyan framed the shift not as cyclical, but structural. The convergence of maturing consumer expectations and rapidly deployable AI systems is eroding the effectiveness of asset-led growth. Standardization, once a tool for efficiency, now produces indistinguishable experiences. Capital intensity, long tolerated, is becoming a constraint. What is emerging in its place is not a more efficient version of the same model, but a different organizing principle altogether: demand, not supply, as the system's point of origin. From Capacity to Interpretation In this emerging model, the central problem is no longer how to build and fill capacity, but how to interpret and respond to fragmented, real-time customer intent. This is where Delonix is positioning Genie AI . Unlike most applications of AI in hospitality—which tend to sit at the interface level— Genie AI is designed to sit in the middle of the system, between intent and execution. It does not simply respond to requests; it structures them. A guest interaction—whether through app input or voice—is translated into a sequence of executable tasks, routed through a centralized decision layer, and distributed to the nearest available human resource, before feeding back into the system as data. The technical architecture is not unprecedented. What is notable is the ambition to make it foundational. If it works as intended, service ceases to be a function of individual responsiveness and becomes instead a property of the system itself. Variability, historically managed after the fact, is designed out at the level of coordination. In that sense, AI is no longer augmenting service. It is defining its boundaries. Standardization Was the Solution. Now It Is the Constraint. The industry's previous growth model depended on standardization: replicable rooms, predictable services, consistent delivery across locations. This enabled scale, but at the cost of differentiation. As consumer expectations evolve, that trade-off is becoming less acceptable. Delonix's response is not to abandon standardization, but to layer variability on top of it—systematically. The Heavenly Stems & Earthly Branches Model introduces a framework in which products and services are no longer fixed configurations, but evolving modules. Customer interaction becomes an input into how the product itself is iterated over time. The implication is subtle but significant. Hotels are no longer static assets with service attached. They become adaptive systems, where the product is continuously reshaped by usage. For customers, this promises a form of progression—an experience that accumulates rather than resets. For operators and investors, it suggests a shift from one-off capital deployment to ongoing, incremental reconfiguration. In both cases, the underlying assumption is the same: value is not embedded in the asset, but generated through interaction. Control Shifts to the System Layer What ties these elements together is not technology alone, but control. In the traditional model, control resided in assets—ownership, location, physical scale. In the emerging model, it moves upward, into the system layer that interprets demand, allocates resources, and continuously adjusts the product. This shift has implications beyond efficiency. A system that can interpret intent, coordinate execution, and learn from outcomes begins to set the terms of competition. The advantage no longer lies in having more assets, but in having a better system for deciding how those assets are used. In that sense, AI is not just infrastructure. It is governance. An Industry at the Edge of Repricing China's broader push to integrate AI into industrial and consumer systems provides the backdrop for this shift. Policy frameworks such as the State Council's "AI+" initiative are accelerating deployment, but the more consequential changes are happening at the level of business models. Hospitality is one of the more exposed sectors. As the marginal return on physical expansion declines, and as customer expectations become more fluid, the industry is moving toward a repricing of what constitutes value. Scale, once the primary moat, is becoming easier to replicate and harder to defend. What replaces it is still being defined. Delonix's approach offers one possible direction: treating demand as a continuously generated input, and building systems capable of capturing and compounding it. Whether this model proves durable remains to be seen. But its premise is clear. The future of hospitality may depend less on how hotels are built, and more on how they think. About Delonix Group Delonix Group is a leading international hospitality and experiential consumption group in the Asia-Pacific region. Ranked 14th globally, the Group partnered with Marriott International to launch the world's first dual-branded luxury property: MajesTang Hotel • A Tribute Portfolio Hotel, while independently creating MaisonLee, a Tang-inspired premium business travel brand. As one of the first Chinese hotel groups to expand overseas, Delonix has established a presence in high-potential markets such as Japan and Indonesia, now spanning more than 200 cities worldwide. Its portfolio encompasses Swiss-Belhotel, Artotel, Model J, hotel MONday, and other brands, positioning the Group at the forefront of building a new generation global platform for high-end hospitality and culturally immersive travel.

As the World "Looks East": Chinese Companies Emerge as Global Connectors of Innovation
NEW YORK , March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- When German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called on the country's industrial sector to boost productivity, citing lessons from China, in the spring of 2026, the Western world's perception of "China's solutions" was already undergoing a profound shift. Over the past two years, from the large-scale rollout of robotaxis on city streets, to fully automated "dark factories" operating around the clock without human intervention, to humanoid robots showcasing complex movements at the Spring Festival Gala, China has demonstrated its ability to define industry standards across multiple frontiers of "physical AI." Now, that capability is extending into one of humanity's most fundamental domains: life and health. From March 30 to 31 (local time), the "Confluence of Minds — 2026 Academic Summit on Frontiers in Neurodevelopment and Mental Health & Second Annual Meeting of Feihe-Harvard BCH Brain Development Foundation" was held at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Jointly organized by the Feihe–Harvard BCH Brain Development Foundation, the Neuroscience and Behavioural Disorders Programme at Duke-NUS, Boston Children's Hospital, and Harvard Medical School, the summit brought together top experts from nearly 20 world-renowned institutions, including Harvard, Yale, Tsinghua, Fudan, and NUS. Among the participants were members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the editor-in-chief of Nature Neuroscience . Connecting all of this is a Chinese dairy company—Feihe. As Chinese AI breaks down technological barriers through open-source ecosystems, Feihe is positioning itself as a global connector in scientific research, leading discussions on one of humanity's most fundamental challenges: the quality of life. This reflects a distinct Chinese approach to global innovation. At a time when some countries are building "small yard, high fence" type of barriers, China is taking a different path—creating platforms for cross-border and cross-disciplinary dialogue aimed at addressing shared challenges facing humanity. As Feihe Chairman Leng Youbin noted at the summit: "Feihe is willing to share its development achievements with the world and bring scientific nutrition to all humanity." Over the past decade, Feihe has established deep partnerships with more than 40 leading institutions across seven countries, building a global research ecosystem that spans the entire value chain—from basic research and process innovation to product development and clinical validation. At a time of growing headwinds to globalization, this commitment to openness and collaboration offers a rare form of certainty. It demonstrates that even in an increasingly fragmented world, humanity can still come together around shared challenges. As one attending member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences remarked: "Feihe is not only a supporter of scientific research—it is a driver of the global innovation chain. Our collaboration will create immeasurable value for human health." Of course, such openness is not built overnight. It is rooted in decades of long-term strategic commitment to technological self-reliance in China. The year 2026 marks the opening year of China's 15th Five-Year Plan, which places self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology at its core, focusing on frontier fields such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and new energy. Through sustained investment over five- to ten-year periods, China aims to achieve systematic mastery of key technological fields. Meanwhile, global demand for protein is entering a period of historic growth, with China emerging as a key source of innovation. Just as Unitree Robotics has redefined the industrialization path of embodied intelligence, Feihe is advancing breakthroughs in milk protein technology and participating in shaping global industry standards in life and health. Feihe's proprietary "Fresh Milk Protein Extraction Technology" has redefined traditional protein extraction methods, enabling the direct extraction of active proteins from high-quality fresh milk sourced from its own farms. The company has achieved 100% in-house production capability for 11 core ingredients, including casein, α-lactalbumin, and lactoferrin. Leveraging breakthroughs in milk protein deep-processing technology, Feihe is extending infant-grade standards to nutrition across the entire lifecycle. From new infant formula products such as Ji Cui and Qi Cui, to children's Supernova Cheese, to small-molecule milk protein nutrition powders for middle-aged and elderly consumers, the company, which has led China's infant formula market in sales for seven consecutive years, is undergoing a critical transformation from a formula manufacturer to a milk protein nutrition expert. This combination of openness and long-term commitment is translating into "China's solutions" that benefit global consumers. In North America, Feihe has established Canada's first infant formula factory, filling a gap in the local industry, with products now available in more than 1,600 major retailers across the region. In Southeast Asia, Feihe entered the market with the Philippines as its first stop, launching the AceKid Activegro pure fresh milk formula, which is now available in nearly 500 stores and covers 80% of the country's high-end retail network. Built on the advanced "One-Step Fresh Milk Processing" standard, the product offers a fresher and healthier nutrition choice for local consumers. Recently, the AceKid Activegro series was also approved for entry into Indonesia, becoming the first Chinese formula brand in that market. From intelligent agents to robotics, from biomedicine to future foods, and now to life and health—when the world begins to "look East," it sees more than just the rise of a market; it witnesses a paradigm shift in innovation. Feihe's journey offers a vivid example of this transformation: leveraging long-term investment in fundamental research to achieve control over key technologies, and translating technological achievements through open collaboration into "China's solutions" that benefit the world. At a time when "decoupling" narratives dominate global discourse, Chinese companies like Feihe are demonstrating through action that the best "China's solution" is one that turns development achievements into "future solutions" benefiting the world.

GeeLark is the Revolution
SINGAPORE , March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For over a decade, social media marketing has been stuck in a desktop-driven time warp. While platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels have moved toward mobile-native, behavior-driven algorithms, the tools used to manage them remained tethered to legacy browser-based scheduling. Today, GeeLark is declaring an end to that era. As the first team to successfully productize cloud-phone technology for the social media industry, GeeLark is officially shifting its 2026 roadmap to focus on the next frontier: The Automation Revolution. By combining its industry-first mobile infrastructure with a powerful suite of RPA, Synchronizer, and API tools, GeeLark is giving marketers what they've lacked for years—the ability to act, scale, and engage exactly like a real mobile user. GeeLark dashboard The Problem with "Scheduling" Standard scheduling tools only scratch the surface. GeeLark is the revolution because we stopped trying to 'simulate' mobile behavior and started 'hosting' it. By being the first to turn complex cloud-phone technology into a ready-to-use product, we've built a foundation where automation isn't just a script—it's a living, breathing mobile OS." The Engines of Execution: RPA, Synchronizer, and API In 2026, content is no longer the only king; execution is the kingdom. GeeLark's latest update moves beyond simple AIGC to prioritize the "how" of global scaling: RPA: GeeLark's Robotic Process Automation doesn't just post; it interacts. From scrolling and liking to complex account-warming flows, the RPA engine operates within the cloud-phone kernel to generate the authentic behavioral signals that modern algorithms demand. The Synchronizer: Managing a hundred accounts shouldn't require a hundred people. The GeeLark Synchronizer allows a single user to control an entire fleet of cloud phones simultaneously. Every swipe, tap, and click is mirrored instantly across the network, making massive campaigns feel like child's play. API: For those building the next big thing, GeeLark's API opens the hood of its cloud-phone engine, allowing brands to program their own custom mobile workflows with enterprise-grade stability. Bridging the Gap Between AI and Reality While GeeLark continues to support high-level content creation through integrated AI models like Seedance Pro and Nano Banana Pro, the 2026 strategy ensures that these creative assets have a reliable way to reach their audience. By automating the entire lifecycle—from creation to distribution and engagement—GeeLark removes the need for expensive physical device farms and unstable emulators. As social media continues to prioritize real human behavior over mechanical botting, GeeLark stands as the new standard for authenticity at scale. The revolution isn't coming; it's already here, hosted in the cloud. About GeeLark GeeLark is a next-generation cloud-phone platform built for the mobile-native era. As the first team to productize cloud-phone technology for marketers, GeeLark provides fully functional Android environments and advanced automation tools like RPA and Synchronizers, enabling brands to grow securely, authentically, and globally.

Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane to Spotlight IT Playbooks as AI and Digital Demands Reshape IT Leadership Across APAC
AI, security, data, and digital modernisation are reshaping IT's mandate, and organisations that address these demands in isolation often struggle to convert that effort into sustained enterprise performance. At Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane, March 17 and 18 at the W Brisbane, Info-Tech Research Group will feature its IT Playbooks framework as a central agenda theme, equipping CIOs and senior IT leaders with a structured, research-backed model for scaling operational excellence across the IT leadership team. SYDNEY, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Technology leaders throughout Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region are being asked to modernise, secure, optimise, and innovate at the same time. Yet many IT organisations continue to pursue improvement within individual functions rather than across the full leadership system. Without coordinated execution spanning architecture, applications, security, operations, and data, investment momentum often fails to convert into measurable enterprise outcomes. At Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane, March 17 and 18 at the W Brisbane, Info-Tech Research Group will feature its integrated IT Playbooks framework as a central agenda theme, equipping CIOs and senior IT leaders with a structured, research-backed model for scaling excellence across the entire IT leadership team.

The Enterprise Architecture PlaybookBuilt on principles of connected operations and strategic alignment, this workshop equips enterprise architects with tools to unify business and IT, guide investment decisions, and reduce organisational complexity. The Security PlaybookDeveloped for security leaders, this workshop centres on formalising oversight, clarifying accountability, and embedding protective controls that support business priorities. The Artificial Intelligence PlaybookAs AI initiatives expand, the gap between experimentation and operational discipline continues to widen. This workshop examines how leaders can formalise governance, define operating models, and connect AI investments directly to measurable business outcomes. The Data and Analytics PlaybookThis workshop explores how organisations can improve data quality, clarify ownership, and build a scalable foundation for evidence-based decision-making, elevating data and analytics from reporting to strategic capability. The Infrastructure and Operations PlaybookFocused on service reliability and operational discipline, this workshop guides IT leaders through modernising core environments, standardising processes, and improving performance visibility across infrastructure and support functions. The Applications PlaybookThis workshop helps leaders rationalise portfolios, modernise legacy environments, and improve application lifecycle management to sustain deliberate, value-aligned improvement. Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane will provide CIOs and senior IT leaders with a focused forum to strengthen how their leadership teams operate as an integrated system rather than as isolated functions.

Alphamab Oncology Announces IND Application for Innovative EGFR/HER3 Dual Payload Bispecific ADC JSKN021 was Officially Accepted by CDE
SUZHOU, China, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Alphamab Oncology (stock code: 9966.HK) announced that the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for JSKN021, an independently developed innovative dual payload bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting EGFR and HER3, has been officially accepted by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). The Company plans to initiate a clinical study of JSKN021 for the treatment of advanced malignant solid tumors. JSKN021 is a "2-in-1" dual payload bispecific ADC targeting EGFR and HER3. By leveraging glycan-specific conjugation technology, it precisely and quantitatively links two different cytotoxic payloads to the antibody's Fc region. This process has been refined to be simple, stable, and highly efficient. The generated ADC product demonstrates the characteristically high stability and safety profile intrinsic to Alphamab Oncology's proprietary technology platforms. According to preclinical data presented at the 2025 annual meeting of American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 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. This Phase I clinical study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and antitumor activity of JSKN021 in patients with advanced malignant solid tumors, and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). ABOUT 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 (drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) 4) and MMAE (DAR 2) payloads to overcome non-response and resistance observed with single-payload treatment strategies. The investigational new drug (IND) application for JSKN021 has been accepted by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE), and the Phase I clinical trial for advanced malignant solid tumors will soon be initiated. About Alphamab Oncology Alphamab Oncology (Stock Code: 9966.HK) is an innovative biopharmaceutical company focused on oncology. Leveraging proprietary platforms including single-domain antibodies, bispecific antibodies, glycan-specific conjugation, linker-payloads, dual-payload ADCs, and high-concentration subcutaneous formulations, the Company has built a differentiated and globally competitive pipeline, covering cutting-edge candidates in ADCs, bispecific antibodies, and single-domain antibodies. One product has received market approval: Envafolimab (KN035, brand name: 恩维达®), the world's first subcutaneously injected PD-(L)1 inhibitor, offering greater convenience and accessibility in cancer treatment. The NMPA has accepted the new drug application for KN026 (Anbenitamab Injection), a HER2 bispecific antibody, for second-line or later HER2-positive gastric cancer. Five bispecific ADC candidates have entered clinical stages, and next-generation ADC pipelines—such as dual-payload ADCs—are advancing rapidly. The Company has established strategic partnerships with organizations including CSPC, ArriVent, and Glenmark, covering both product development and technology platforms. Our overarching mission is to make cancer manageable and curable by addressing unmet clinical needs in oncology. Alphamab Oncology is continuously dedicated to the development of effective, safe, and globally competitive anti-tumor drugs, enabling patients to achieve long-term, high-quality survival and delivering China-innovated cancer therapies to benefit patients worldwide.

Mintel Most Innovative 2026 Winners Announced
The Products Defining the Next Chapter of CPG Innovation SINGAPORE, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mintel today announced the winners of Mintel Most Innovative 2026, a global awards program highlighting the consumer-packaged goods (CPG) products redefining how brands compete, grow and innovate across beauty and personal care, household, and food and drink categories. Mintel Most Innovative 2026 Winners Announced As brands face tighter ROI expectations, faster innovation cycles and greater pressure to deliver results with fewer bets, innovation has become less about volume and more about precision. Against this backdrop, Mintel Most Innovative spotlights the brands that combine deep consumer understanding with clear strategic direction to shape where their categories go next. This year's winners reflect a clear shift in what meaningful innovation looks like: products built around real consumer needs, developed with long-term relevance in mind, and capable of influencing future growth trajectories across the industry. Winning themes range from science-based precision odor control and AI-guided personalized hair loss kits to trend-centered convenient toaster-ready pastry meals. Innovation That Moves the Industry Forward At a time when truly new product development is increasingly rare, with only 34% of global CPG launches in 2025 classified as genuinely new products, compared with 47% in 2015 and 75% in 1995*, this year's winners stand out for demonstrating how brands can move categories forward through decisive thinking and strong execution. Innovation decisions are increasingly being made with less certainty and higher expectations around outcomes, raising the stakes for brands looking to invest confidently in what comes next. Matthew Nelson, Global CEO, Mintel, said: "CPG innovation is entering a new phase; one where speed, clarity and conviction matter more than volume. Expectations around ROI are rising, and innovation needs to happen faster, often with less certainty. In that environment, the brands that succeed are the ones able to stay close to changing consumer needs and act decisively. "That's what stands out about this year's winners: clear thinking, smart prioritization and the confidence to invest in ideas that create real relevance and growth. These aren't products created for the sake of novelty; they reflect real conviction about where categories are heading. "The best innovation pushes the industry forward. Awards like Mintel Most Innovative matter because they raise the standard, challenging brands to think bigger, focus on sustainable growth, and stay grounded in what consumers want next. The brands shaping the future won't be the ones launching the most products; they'll be the ones making the clearest innovation decisions." Judged by Global Leaders in CPG Marketing and Innovation 72 winning products from 14 countries were selected by a distinguished jury of global CPG leaders, including professors at INSEAD and Nanyang Business School; senior journalists from leading industry publications such as The Grocer and Cosmetics Design; and marketing and innovation leaders from global brands including Beiersdorf, The Coca-Cola Company, Coty, The Estee Lauder Company, Mondelez International, Nestle, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, and Reckitt. Judges assessed entries based on consumer relevance, innovation edge and market impact, recognizing innovation decisions that combine creativity with measurable commercial relevance. Grant Westbrook, SVP, Global Marketing, Mintel, said: "One of the reasons Mintel Most Innovative matters is the strength of the people judging it. We bring together industry leaders who are shaping the consumer landscape and thinking seriously about what comes next. They are looking for work built on genuine insight, with clear commercial relevance and the potential for lasting impact. We are here to recognize the work that genuinely moves categories forward." Together, this year's winners offer a clear view of where CPG innovation is heading.

Pierre Fabre Laboratories is exploring the potential of Artificial Intelligence to launch a new generation of clinical studies in dermo-cosmetics
From 100 to 600 patients : to support patients suffering from acne, Avène, Pierre Fabre Laboratories' leading brand, is strengthening the robustness of its clinical studies via data augmentation through Artificial Intelligence. TOULOUSE, France , March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Avène, the leading brand in French pharmacies*, in partnership with Toulouse-based HealthTech company BotDesign, has announced a major breakthrough in the field of clinical studies in dermo-cosmetics. Pierre Fabre Laboratories is exploring the potential of Artificial Intelligence to launch a new generation of clinical studies in dermo-cosmetics In 2026, Avène will conduct a comparative clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of its new treatment for acne-prone skin, Avène Cleanance Comedomed+, in the maintenance phase following oral isotretinoin treatment in adults suffering from severe to very severe acne. Avène is renowned for its dermatological expertise, inspired by therapeutic know-how, and has been committed to improving the treatment of skin pathologies since 1990. It is thus becoming the first brand to use Artificial Intelligence in clinical studies for dermo-cosmetics. A concrete illustration of Pierre Fabre Laboratories' "Supportive Care" strategy. This study is unique in two ways: due to its scientific ambition and because it fully aligns with the "supportive care" strategy of Pierre Fabre Laboratories, launched in 2025. "We belong to a group that has always been rooted in pharmaceuticals and dermo-cosmetics. Our medical expertise gives us a head start in understanding patients and their pathologies. We are ideally positioned to offer treatment protocols based on the pathology, combining dermo-cosmetics with medication. We are already preparing solutions to go further, by developing dermo-cosmetic innovations capable of extending and amplifying the action of the medication or delaying its necessity. Because these are dermo-cosmetics, they can be used over the long term, unlike many drug treatments," explains Dr. Gautier Doat, Eau Thermale Avène Medical Director .

MaestroWellness Announces Inaugural Build Well Live Well Summit on 26 March 2026, in Hong Kong
Convening cross-sector leaders to align capital, policy and innovation around measurable healthspan outcomes HONG KONG, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MaestroWellness announces the inaugural Build Well Live Well (BWLW) Summit, a cross-sector forum in Hong Kong bringing together policymakers, healthcare leaders, investors and technology innovators to examine how Asia can sustainably extend healthspan and financial resilience. Taking place on 26 March at Soho House Hong Kong, the Summit is designed to foster alignment across capital, science and policy to address the structural challenge of longevity. The Summit is convened for decision-makers across investment, healthcare, corporate leadership and public policy who are actively shaping Asia's longevity economy. As Asia's population of nearly five billion people ages at unprecedented speed, the defining question is no longer how long people live, but how well. By 2050, 25.9% of the Asia-Pacific population is projected to be aged 60 or above, placing unprecedented pressure on healthcare systems, retirement structures and economic productivity. While life expectancy continues to rise, with Hong Kong leading the world at over 85 years on average, healthspan and financial resilience have not kept pace. The BWLW Summit positions Hong Kong at the forefront of redefining longevity as both a public health and economic priority. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with global leaders including keynote speakers Bernard Chan (GBM, GBS, JP), Hong Kong politician and businessman, and Frederick Chavalit Tsao, fourth-generation steward of Tsao Pao Chee (TPC), a family enterprise with more than 120 years of history and Chairman of the Association for Well-being Economy (AWE). They will be joined by Gordon Watson, Senior Advisor to the AXA Group, alongside global wellbeing advocates and business leaders, reinforcing the Summit's commitment to cross-sector leadership in redefining wellbeing at scale. Speakers include David Boucher, former Chief Executive Officer of Bumrungrad International Hospital Phuket & Market; Dr. Felix Lee of The GBA Healthcare Group; and Dr. Gloria Jian, founder of Health Cell Cycle. Together, they will present evidence-based approaches spanning preventative health science, cross-border healthcare delivery and longevity-focused investment models. Dr. Felix Lee, Co-CEO of The GBA Healthcare Group, will share perspectives on how healthcare systems must evolve from episodic treatment models to integrated prevention ecosystems, aligning primary care, insurance design and digital infrastructure to sustainably extend healthspan across ageing populations. "In Hong Kong, where longevity is a legacy, we're not just extending lives, we're elevating them.

HD Hyundai Chairman Chung Kisun Takes Lead in Bridging Korea and the Philippines
▶ Participates in economic delegation and explores ways to expand bilateral cooperation at the Korea–Philippines Business Forum▶ Pays tribute at Korean War Memorial... Inspects HD Hyundai Philippines Shipyard and encourages local employees▶ HD Hyundai Heavy Industries contributes to Philippine naval modernization with orders for 12 naval vessels and establishment of a logistics support center SEOUL, South Korea, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HD Hyundai Chairman Chung Kisun has stepped forward to play a bridging role in strengthening ties between Korea and the Philippines. HD Hyundai Chairman Chung Kisun lays flowers at the Korean War Memorial located at the National Heroes’ Cemetery in the Philippines on March 4. HD Hyundai announced on March 5 that Chairman Chung, who is currently visiting the Philippines as part of the Korean government's economic delegation, paid tribute at a Korean War memorial, attended the Korea–Philippines Business Forum, and inspected HD Hyundai Philippines Shipyard (HD Hyundai Philippines). On March 4, Chairman Chung first visited the Korean War Memorial located at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (National Heroes' Cemetery) in Manila and laid flowers in tribute. During the Korean War, the Philippines was the first Asian country to organize and deploy a combat unit, sending the largest contingent of troops among Asian nations—7,420 personnel. Earlier that morning, he attended the Korea–Philippines Business Forum, jointly hosted by the Federation of Korean Industries (FKI) and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), where participants discussed concrete measures to expand economic cooperation between the two countries. On March 5, Chairman Chung visited HD Hyundai Philippines in Subic Bay, where he toured the construction site of a new employee dormitory and the shipyard, while encouraging employees working at the site. "We will take even greater care to ensure quality housing, health care, and safety for workers. Above all, I ask that you always place safety first and do your best in your respective roles," said Chairman Chung during a luncheon with local employees. Meanwhile, HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering—the intermediate holding company for HD Hyundai's shipbuilding businesses—signed a lease agreement in May 2024 with Cerberus Capital Management for part of a shipyard site in the Philippines, leading to the establishment of HD Hyundai Philippines. In September last year, with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in attendance, HD Hyundai Philippines held a steel-cutting ceremony for the construction of its first vessel—an 115,000-ton petrochemical product carrier. Since 2016, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries has secured orders for a total of 12 naval vessels from the Philippines, playing a leading role in the modernization of the Philippine Navy. In addition, the company established a logistics support center in the country in 2022 and has been carrying out maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for naval vessels, including previously delivered frigates and corvettes. "HD Hyundai has gone beyond a simple business partnership with the Philippines to serve as a key bridge promoting friendship between the Republic of Korea and the Philippines. We will continue to build deep trust with the Philippines with pride in representing Korea," said Chairman Chung. HD Hyundai Chairman Chung Kisun lays flowers at the Korean War Memorial located at the National Heroes’ Cemetery in the Philippines on March 4.

BARCELONA, Spain, March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At MWC Barcelona 2026, Leon Wang, President of Huawei's Data Communication Product Line, unveiled the company's NG WAN architecture. He stated that in the Internet of Agents era, Huawei is upgrading IP bearer networks by focusing on security & resilience, multi-dimensional awareness, and network autonomy. This will enable carriers to establish a self-defending network foundation that ensures experience, accelerates revenue growth, boosts network efficiency, and empowers intelligent connectivity. Leon Wang, President of Huawei's Data Communication Product Line, unveils the NG WAN architecture Multi- dimensional Awareness@2H Huawei has introduced the industry's first encrypted traffic identification engine—Xingluo Identification Engine. This engine boasts an identification accuracy exceeding 95% for encrypted traffic flows.

This aids carriers in swiftly acquiring new customers. Multi-dimensional Awareness@2B Huawei's lossless intelligent computing boards enable zero packet loss transmission of computing power data, ensuring sustained computing efficiency. Leveraging the Xingluo lossless algorithm, Huawei transforms training-inference data into unbreakable high-dimensional vectors, safeguarding enterprise data and enabling carriers to offer distributed collaborative training-inference and storage-computing separation services. Security & Resilience Huawei provides intelligent intrinsic security boards, which enable devices to instantly detect any unusual activity related to files, memory, processes, and traffic. They also promptly identify and block intrusions to prevent attacks from lurking or spreading. To address route hijacking, Huawei has introduced an intelligent resilient main control board.

IFS CAPITAL 2025 RESULTS: FULL-YEAR NET PROFIT AT S$ 6.36 MILLION (+71.5% YOY)
The Board proposes a first and final one-tier tax-exempt dividend of 0.80 cents per ordinary share (+60% YoY) SINGAPORE, March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2025, IFS achieved profit before tax of S$ 8.74 million and net profit after tax of S$ 6.36 million as net operating income grew 32.8% to S$ 38.65 million in a challenging market environment. Private Credit Our private credit business recorded profit before tax of S$10.5 million in 2025, compared to S$10.1 million in 2024, after taking in provisions for non-performing loans of S$4.2 million (2024: S$0.7 million) that resulted from SME clients in our Thailand portfolio. While the provision figure in 2025 is significantly higher than our historical average, it represents less than 1% of our lending assets. Despite the challenging environment for trade, the accounts receivable purchase (ARP) portfolio grew 12.5%, driven by strategic partnerships in Thailand and Malaysia, as well as organic growth in Singapore. The loan portfolio declined by a marginal 2.4% as the asset-based loan portfolio in Singapore declined by 7.3% due to redemptions towards the end of the year but this was partly offset by strong growth in Malaysia. The leasing portfolio grew 39.5% driven mainly by our business in Indonesia. As a result, the overall lending assets of the Group grew 4% to S$468 million. In 2025, IFS was named one of Singapore's top fintech companies in alternative finance by Tech in Asia and Statista. This recognizes the technological transformation that has taken place within the Group. Asset Management The asset management business is built on the Group's private credit expertise. In 2025, we successfully concluded our first fund, delivering cumulative returns of 22.4% (annualized returns of approximately 5.5%). The fund has maintained zero credit losses since inception in 2021, reflecting our philosophy of building and operating all-weather portfolios. We also launched the IFSAM Private Credit Income Fund in 2025, which was recognized as Singapore's Fund Launch of the Year at the Asia Asset Management Best of the Best Awards. Insurance The insurance business narrowed losses to S$ 2.2 million from S$ 5.1 million in 2024. This was driven by net earned premiums more than doubling while portfolio loss ratio improved significantly to 69% in 2025 from 115% in 2024. We continue to grow the scale of our insurance business through prudent underwriting, technology transformation, and most importantly, customer obsession. The Group continues to maintain a conservative capital structure with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.58x (2024: 1.55x). Based on the Group's results for 2025, the Board of Directors has proposed a dividend of 0.8 Singapore cents per share, a 60% increase from 0.50 Singapore cents in 2024, subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting. This represents a dividend yield of 4.49% based on share price as at 20 February 2026. Randy Sim, Group CEO said: "In 2025, we continued to execute on our three-pillar strategy of integrating private credit, asset management and insurance, to create a reinforcing flywheel. As we grow, we are committed to delivering durable, long-term value to our shareholders; the proposed dividend reflects that commitment." Henry Toh, Group CFO said "Centralizing technology, product, marketing, and operations during the year has enabled us to improve efficiency and scale capabilities faster across markets. With market uncertainty running high, the margin for error has narrowed for both lenders and borrowers, and we intend to maintain a more prudent posture as we grow."

Optellum Secures TGA Approval to Expand AI-Enabled Lung Nodule Solution To Australia
OXFORD, England, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Optellum, the leading AI-enabled solution for earlier lung cancer detection, is thrilled to announce that it has received Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) class IIb approval in Australia for the Virtual Nodule Clinic (VNC) platform to support early lung cancer diagnosis. This important regulatory milestone was achieved after a rigorous review of technical documentation and validation studies, recognizing its safety and performance for clinical use. VNC helps identify, triage, and manage patients with pulmonary nodules, and includes a clinically validated AI decision support tool, lung cancer prediction (LCP) AI, already used in the US and EU/UK for nodule risk stratification. Lung cancer remains a major health challenge in Australia, with over 15,000 new diagnoses each year and low 5-year survival rates around 27%. [1] Delayed detection of incidental findings, inconsistent follow-up, and growing pressure on imaging and specialist services continue to contribute to later diagnosis. These pain points can lead to unnecessary anxiety for patients and missed opportunities for earlier intervention, highlighting the need for tools that support timely recognition and coordinated health systems. This TGA clearance poises Optellum to help thousands of patients in Australia by supporting earlier and more consistent identification of incidental lung nodules. By helping care teams prioritize higher-risk findings and streamline follow-up more efficiently, VNC aims to reduce delays and uncertainty along the lung cancer care pathway. This clearance marks an important step in bringing validated AI tools into everyday clinical workflows, without replacing clinical judgment. Optellum remains committed to working with Australian health systems to support responsible AI adoption that improves patient care quality and experience. This milestone reflects Optellum's broader mission to help patients move from detection to diagnosis with speed, greater clarity, and confidence. About OptellumOptellum is a commercial-stage AI healthcare company dedicated to revolutionizing early diagnosis and treatment of lung disease, starting with one of the deadliest, lung cancer. Optellum's flagship product, Virtual Nodule Clinic (VNC) with Lung Cancer Prediction AI (LCP), is the world's first and only FDA-cleared and reimbursed software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) solution for AI-powered lung cancer prioritization and diagnostic support. Clinicians trust the Optellum solution to aid them in making the most appropriate life-saving treatment decisions for their patients. Backed by real-world clinical evidence, Optellum's solution accelerates the diagnostic care pathway by enabling early patient identification, enhancing prioritization, and improving clinicians' efficiency, reducing time to guideline-recommended treatment.

Cut the Cupcakes. Rebecca Moulynox on What Women Really Want at Work
As the 2026 Best Workplaces for Women Australia List set to drop, Great Place To Work's GM has thoughts on International Women's Day, performative targets and being a voice for the next generation. SYDNEY, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rebecca Moulynox has a low tolerance for cupcakes. Not the bakery treats themselves, she's not a monster, it's the specific genus of ballerina pink or bubble-gum purple cupcake that appears in office kitchens every March. You know the ones, they're always spread out next to a sagging "Happy International Women's Day!" sign with several complicated hashtags. Rebecca Moulynox Australia Best Workplaces For Women List "I find the morning tea bit condescending," she says of the scene. "It's superficial, performative, and that bit feels ridiculous to me. But I love hearing about what amazing women are doing, and International Women's Day does create opportunities for these stories to come out." she says. Moulynox is the General Manager for Great Place To Work across Australia and New Zealand, which means she sits in the nexus of workplace culture and the data that measures it, two things corporate Australia absolutely loves to invoke but rarely reconcile. On March 5 the global authority on workplace culture will release their annual Best Workplaces for Women Australia List, timed to land days before International Women's Day. Women, Work And The Numbers That Matter The Best Workplaces for Women list isn't organisations marking their own homework. Companies need at least 100 employees, with a minimum of 50 women. At least 30 per cent of the total workforce must be female, and 20 per cent of management excluding the executive suite, where the numbers can be inflated by a single appointment. From there, the methodology layers survey scores from women employees with Workplace Gender Equality Agency benchmarks, awarding extra points to companies that employ more women than the industry average. A gender pay gap below 10 per cent attracts more points; if the gap blows out beyond 25 per cent, companies lose them. "They don't mess around, it's a really rigorous methodology. And I genuinely like working on the list because I've used it myself. I want to know who has good flexible work and fair pay practices, and who has women in leadership," she says. "I don't want to go and work for a company with 50 men in charge and no women." This year's list surfaces some genuinely striking data. "Unfortunately there are still plenty of companies in Australia where up to 70 per cent of their workforce is women and the gender pay gap is still 35 per cent in favour of men," Moulynox says. "When you see numbers like that you kind of go, how do you even manage that? There must be absolutely no work going on to really address the pay parity if it's still that big when you've got more women than men in a company." Before becoming the GM of Great Place To Work for Australia and New Zealand, Moulynox spent years in finance, a sector notorious for making gender targets with the enthusiasm of someone doing community service. She has opinions about this, too. "Companies put targets in place and try to track towards them, but in my experience, targets don't really move the needle on people understanding why it matters," she says. "If you really want to make actual change, you need leadership at the top to genuinely understand the business impact." She floats a scenario that a company chasing a 40 per cent female headcount can simply "hire them all as EAs and clerical administration" to hit the target. What separates genuine commitment from compliance? "I think if an organisation really cares about equality, they track it for the right reasons, not because they have to." Finding Your Voice And Using It To Help "A lot of the time women, particularly in male‐dominated industries like tech or finance, still try not to rock the boat," Moulynox says. "We're often the ones bringing harmony and working through things with gentle influence rather than sheer force of will." It is the kind of emotional labour that rarely shows up in a performance review. "As I've gotten older and recognised my own value and what I bring to the table, I've become more confident about saying when I actually know what I'm talking about." "We don't have to be forceful, but we also don't have to be meek and mild, making sure everyone's happy. You can say, 'We keep having the same conversation with the same people. Let's change that.'" That earned confidence, she believes, comes with an obligation. "Flexibility has been framed as this unambiguous win for women and for a lot of senior women it genuinely is," Moulynox says. "But for young women, especially in their first three to five years, early‐career development has always depended on proximity. Being in the room, seeing how decisions get made, having those informal mentoring moments. When you move work online without redesigning how development happens, those moments just disappear, and they disappear unevenly." "I think it's really important for women who hold any type of leadership role or role of influence to not just mentor, but sponsor and champion the younger generation," she says. "When we look across five years of our data, the gap between junior and senior women is a cliff. Junior women report roughly half the recognition, half the sense that promotions are fair, and barely half the enthusiasm about coming to work that senior women do and that pattern is so consistent. We need to make space for them. Be their opportunity advocates." "That matters even more when you look at where AI is heading," Moulynox says. "Young women are concentrated in exactly the administrative and junior support roles that generative AI is coming for first. If those entry‐level roles disappear and we haven't built real pathways into higher‐value work, we shrink the whole pipeline of future female leaders." The unfrosted truth is that when it comes to International Women's Day, women don't want cake; they want fairness, a seat at the table and transparency – and the data shows they can tell the difference, especially the young women watching how employers treat the floor, not just the ceiling. The 2026 Best Workplaces for Women Australia List will be released on 5 March, in the lead-up to International Women's Day. To find out which 50 companies made the list subscribe here.

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Michael Thurn commented: "The dosing of the first participant in Regimen I of the HEALEY ALS Platform Trial marks a defining milestone for Neurizon and for NUZ-001. This study represents our registrational trial in ALS - a rigorous, adaptive Phase 2/3 program designed to generate the clinical evidence required to support potential regulatory submissions." "Entry into the HEALEY ALS Platform Trial reflects our scientific data package and the favourable safety and tolerability profile observed in our Phase 1 and Open Label Extension studies. The master protocol structure enables efficient study execution across leading ALS centres in the United States, while maintaining the scientific rigour required at this stage of development." "We are deeply grateful to the participants and their families who commit their time and energy to clinical research, often while navigating the significant challenges associated with living with ALS. For people living with ALS, urgency matters. Through this pivotal study, we are advancing NUZ-001 with scientific discipline, operational focus, and deep respect for the ALS community as we work toward delivering meaningful progress in this devastating disease."

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hansung ebusiness announced that it is differentiating itself by introducing a data-driven "Global One-Stop Distribution Solution," designed to support K-beauty indie brands beyond simple export and toward sustainable market establishment overseas. The solution integrates the entire overseas expansion process, including local consumer data analysis, tailored marketing strategies, global logistics, and post-sales management. By leveraging operational data accumulated through major Korean e-commerce platforms, Hansung ebusiness applies optimized sales strategies suited to Southeast Asian marketplaces such as Lazada and Shopee, significantly improving early-stage market settlement success rates. Through its Vietnam subsidiary, the company has built a dense local distribution network, substantially lowering the risks faced by small and indie beauty brands with limited overseas experience. This approach helps reduce entry costs and trial-and-error, while enabling brands to achieve stable sales performance from the initial stage of market entry. Industry observers note that this model offers a viable growth alternative for the K-beauty sector as the domestic cosmetics market becomes increasingly saturated. Certified product authenticity and fast, reliable logistics systems are also contributing to greater trust among overseas consumers. Building on its proven success in Vietnam, Hansung ebusiness plans to expand its business footprint into other key Southeast Asian markets, including Indonesia and Thailand. Looking ahead, the company aims to evolve into a global e-commerce platform enterprise by developing proprietary private-label (PB) brands based on distribution data and introducing logistics automation systems to further enhance profitability and scalability.

Daesang Successfully Concludes First Participation at Japan's Largest Retail Trade Show, "SMTS 2026," Showcasing the Excellence of K-Fermented Foods
- Operated promotional booth at Japan's largest food and retail exhibition from Feb. 18–20, attracting approximately 10,000 visitors over three days- Promoted K-food with Jongga and O'food brands; four tasting menus reflecting local food trends received favorable reviews SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Daesang announced on the 23rd that it successfully concluded its first participation in the "Supermarket Trade Show 2026 (SMTS 2026)," Japan's largest food and retail exhibition, held for three days from February 18 to 20 in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Daesang Successfully Concludes First Participation at Japan’s Largest Retail Trade Show, “SMTS 2026,” Showcasing the Excellence of K-Fermented Foods Hosted by the New Supermarket Association of Japan, SMTS 2026 is the country's largest specialized exhibition for the food and retail industry, offering a comprehensive view of the latest trends in the Japanese distribution sector. Celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, the exhibition recorded its largest scale ever, with approximately 2,200 companies from 16 countries participating and around 83,000 visitors in attendance. Marking its first appearance at the event, Daesang highlighted its No.1* kimchi brand "Jongga" and global food brand "O'food," successfully promoting its differentiated K-food competitiveness rooted in advanced fermentation technology and reinforcing its position as Korea's leading comprehensive food company. *Source: NIELSEN KOREA 2007–2024 Kimchi Sales Volume & Value During the exhibition, Daesang's booth attracted approximately 10,000 visitors, drawing significant attention. The company held business meetings with representatives from major Japanese retailers and regional supermarket chains, including AEON, Costco, and Ministop. Amid strong interest from global retail buyers, Daesang engaged in detailed discussions toward new supply agreements, achieving tangible business outcomes. Products showcasing the expertise of one of the world's leading fermentation specialists garnered particular attention, especially kimchi and traditional Korean sauces. As Japan's kimchi consumption trend shifts from non-fermented to fermented varieties, distributors expressed strong interest in listing "Ilpum Kimchi," which delivers the authentic taste of traditional Korean fermented kimchi. In addition, "O'food Gochujang," crafted using traditional methods inherited from Sunchang—the birthplace of Korean jang (fermented sauces)—also drew keen interest. The tasting program, designed to reflect local food culture trends, proved to be a major highlight. Under the concept of "Delica" foods—ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook items that are increasingly popular in Japanese supermarkets—Daesang introduced four trendy menu items utilizing kimchi and gochujang: Stir-fried Kimchi Egg Gimbap, Water Parsley Gochujang Shrimp Gangjeong, Kimchi Tuna Mayo Sandwich, and Gochujang Nikujaga. These dishes demonstrated how kimchi and gochujang can easily enhance umami flavors in everyday meals. All 2,400 servings of the four featured tasting menus were completely sold out, along with an additional 2,600 servings of Mat Kimchi and Dubu Kimchi prepared for sampling. Chiharu Asao, a Japanese food influencer who developed the tasting menu, commented, "We created a fusion dish by adding kimchi to tamagoyaki, a familiar Japanese egg dish, ensuring that the spiciness and umami of Ilpum Kimchi harmonize with the soft texture of the egg. Although some visitors were initially unfamiliar with the idea of kimchi in a sandwich, they were pleasantly surprised by how well the flavors complemented each other after tasting it." The booth, designed to embody Daesang's corporate vision, also drew significant attention. Featuring a distinctive design inspired by tree rings, a large LED screen, and a space replicating a Japanese supermarket display, the booth stood out prominently within the exhibition hall. Brochures and tasting containers incorporating traditional Korean mother-of-pearl craftsmanship further conveyed the company's dedication and authenticity in fermented foods. Visitors shared positive feedback, commenting, "The red booth design reminiscent of kimchi was impressive," "The mother-of-pearl design elegantly captured Korean aesthetics," and "The harmony with Japanese cuisine exceeded expectations," adding to the vibrant atmosphere on site. Lim Jung-bae, CEO of Daesang Corporation, stated, "Our participation in SMTS 2026 served as an important opportunity to reaffirm the status of fermented foods—the core of K-food—in the Japanese market and to expand our local distribution network. Moving forward, we will continue to introduce innovative products tailored to the lifestyles of local consumers, led by Jongga and O'food, to further strengthen our presence in Japan." Founded 70 years ago, Daesang has been strengthening its global competitiveness. The company established Daesang Japan Inc. in 1978 to formally enter the Japanese market. Currently, it exports a wide range of products, including kimchi, seasonings, traditional sauces, sauces, and ready-to-eat meals. In 2023, it established Daesang Foods Japan Inc. to secure local production capabilities. In addition, last year the company hosted the "Kimchi Blast Tokyo 2025" pop-up event on Cat Street in Shibuya, Tokyo, blending Korean kimchi culture with Japanese lifestyle trends and expanding consumer engagement in the local market.

Sore Back After Pre-New Year Cleaning? Herbalgy's "Wellness Declutter" Method Shares 3 Tips to Sweep Away Pain for a Light, Energetic New Year
HONG KONG, Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As Lunar New Year approaches, many households dive into their annual deep cleaning, hoping to start the year in a fresh, orderly environment. However, intensive cleaning in a short period—repeated bending, squatting, kneeling, or lifting, can quickly lead to stiff shoulders, sore backs, and general discomfort, sometimes to the point of spoiling holiday enjoyment. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, such discomfort often stems from "tendon-muscle strain" and "qi stagnation and blood stasis." With proper preparation, correct posture, and post-activity care, deep cleaning can become both eco-conscious and body-friendly. Download high-resolution images: https://tinyurl.com/2eemkfew Herbalgy's Three Essentials for "Wellness-Oriented Decluttering" A Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner explains that repetitive bending, lifting, or pushing can overstrain local muscles and fascia, leading to tension and pain. Improper force may also disrupt the smooth flow of Qi and blood through the meridians, causing soreness, numbness, or swelling. Professor Wong Tin-Chee, founder of Herbalgy, adds: "TCM emphasizes addressing root causes and harmonizing Qi and blood. Pain is the body's signal, when flow is blocked, discomfort arises; when energy circulates freely, the body naturally heals." To prevent injury and maximize wellness during cleaning, Herbalgy recommends following these three steps:1. Warm-Up & Activate | Awaken Muscles, Prevent Strain Spend 5 - 10 minutes on dynamic stretches, rotating wrists and ankles, gently moving the neck and shoulders, and mobilizing joints. A proper warm-up enhances muscle elasticity and flexibility, reducing the risk of sudden strains.2. Master Your Posture | Work Smarter, Not Harder Rotate tasks every 30 minutes to avoid fatigue from static positions. Bend your knees instead of your waist: squat to pick up low items or clean floors, keeping the back straight and using leg strength to support your movements. Use a step stool for high surfaces: avoid overreaching or craning your neck. Keep heavy objects close and push or pull with your entire body, not just your arms or back. 3. Soothe & Recover | Relax Muscles, Release Fatigue Recovery is crucial. After cleaning, apply a warm compress for 15 minutes to promote circulation. Gently acupressure points like Hegu (between thumb and index finger) and Weizhong (back of the knee) can relieve tension. For enhanced relief, integrate Herbalgy's targeted pain management products into your routine. Herbalgy's Comprehensive Pain Management Herbalgy's "Upper–Middle–Lower Pain Management System" philosophy targets discomfort by region and severity, offering effective solutions to maintain body balance and vitality.Touch-Cool: Formulated with natural menthol and equipped with a 360-degree magnetic bead massage head, Touch-Cool quickly delivers a cooling sensation that revitalizes tired muscles, relieves tension, and restores clarity, targeted rolling massage action effectively alleviates headaches, neck and shoulder stiffness, muscle fatigue, and upper-body discomfort caused by prolonged work, exercise, or poor posture, providing refreshment and relaxation anytime, anywhere. Herbalgy Medicated Balm & Herbalgy Analgesic Plaster: This powerful day-and-night dual herbal treatment delivers comprehensive relief for shoulder, neck, and back discomfort. During the day, Herbalgy Medicated Balm featuring a 360-degree magnetic bead massage head, precisely targets pain points, providing fast-acting relief from muscle soreness and stiffness caused by work strain, physical activity, or poor posture. At night, the Herbalgy Analgesic Plaster offers sustained therapeutic release, with long-lasting penetration that supports deep muscle recovery and promotes relaxation. Apply one plaster daily for 2-4 hours each time. If condition persists, reapplication every 12 hours. Carthami Flos Pain Relieving Oil & Carthami Flos Analgesic Plaster: A professional-grade solution for persistent and deep-rooted pain, this dual therapy is designed as a "day-oil, night-plaster" system, combining advanced herbal science with targeted massage for superior results. During the day, Carthami Flos Pain Relieving Oil, infused with premium safflower extract, promotes blood circulation and dispels stagnation, while its 360-degree rolling bead massage head ensures precise penetration to effectively relieve chronic lower back, leg, and joint pain, as well as muscular fatigue and strain. At night, the Carthami Flos Analgesic Plaster delivers continuous relief for chronic discomfort while supporting long-term muscle recovery. For optimal results, apply one plaster daily for 4-6 hours. TCM practitioners advise pacing cleaning tasks and completing them in manageable segments. When soreness occurs, Herbalgy's three-tiered protection system, from quickly relief to deep-care therapy, ensures muscles and joints are fully supported, minimizing pain that could linger through the holiday. Step into the Lunar New Year feeling light, agile, and ready for vitality. About Herbalgy Herbalgy Pharmaceutical Ltd. is a company that captures the essence of Hong Kong. Founded in 1999 by the esteemed Professor of Chinese Medicine Wong Tin Chee, he has been inspired by his father, Wong To Yick, since childhood. With a deep passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine and herbal medicine research, Professor Wong has inherited his father's wisdom and expertise. He is committed to adhering to his father's philosophy of "focusing on addressing the root cause rather than merely treating the symptoms" and the principle of "viewing pain as a crucial indicator for identifying underlying issues". Following the establishment of the family business, Professor Wong was encouraged by his father to create the well-known "Herbalgy" brand. This name reflects the company's commitment to promoting healthy meridians and overall well-being. With decades of clinical experience and a love for Hong Kong's traditional Chinese medicine, he established a GMP-certified manufacturer in Hong Kong to ensure the scientific production of traditional medicinal oils and plasters.

Tencent Cloud EdgeOne Launches Free AI Crawler Control: Empowering Developers to Reclaim Content Sovereignty
SHENZHEN, China, Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the demand for data to train Generative AI models surges, developers are facing a critical dilemma: how to manage aggressive AI scraping while protecting their original content and infrastructure costs. To address this, Tencent Cloud EdgeOne has officially released its Basic Bot Management capabilities to all users—including those on the Free Plan. This update introduces two core features: AI Crawler Control and the CAPTCHA Page. Tencent Cloud EdgeOne releases free Basic Bot Management capabilities Ending the Crawler "Whac-A-Mole" Game Unlike traditional web crawlers, modern AI crawlers are stealthier, operate on a massive scale, and are increasingly difficult to distinguish from legitimate traffic. Developers often find themselves trapped in an endless game of "Whac-A-Mole"—blocking one crawler IP only to see dozens of new ones appear the next day under different guises. This results in unauthorized scraping of original content and wasted server bandwidth. Tencent Cloud EdgeOne's new AI Crawler Control solves this by utilizing advanced User-Agent feature recognition. The system continuously updates its identification rules to pinpoint mainstream AI bots, including GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and Google-Extended. Developers no longer need to write complex scripts to defend their sites. With a simple configuration in the EdgeOne console, users can apply diverse actions based on their specific business needs: Monitor: Observe crawler behavior without interference. Block: Instantly stop unauthorized data harvesting. Allow: Permit friendly bots to access your site. Challenge: Trigger a verification step for suspicious traffic. This flexible strategy ensures developers can block malicious data harvesting while still embracing a friendly AI ecosystem when beneficial. Flexible AI Crawler Control strategies adapted for different scenarios Intelligent Defense for High-Value Scenarios In addition to crawler management, the update includes the CAPTCHA Page feature designed to mitigate automated attacks. This function intelligently identifies suspicious Bot behavior and triggers a human-machine verification CAPTCHA. Crucially, this is done without degrading the experience for real users. It builds a robust security line for high-stakes scenarios—such as digital content rights protection, e-commerce flash sales, and financial transactions—ensuring that automated scripts cannot manipulate metrics or disrupt services. EdgeOne Basic Bot Management applied across various industries From Passive Defense to Active Management "With the rapid evolution of AI technology, the governance of content and data access is a long-term challenge," said Yun Li, Head of Tencent Cloud EdgeOne Product Team. "By making our Basic Bot Management capabilities free, we aim to help every developer shift from passive defense to active management, giving them full control over their digital assets." The new features are available now in the EdgeOne console. Tencent Cloud EdgeOne is committed to continuously refining its Bot Management and security capabilities, helping developers establish clear boundaries between AI technology application and content rights protection.
