HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 August 2026 – For a long time, the excruciating pain associated with postpartum physiological breast engorgement (commonly known as “rock breasts” or severe milk duct blockages) has been regarded by the postnatal care industry as an “inevitable process.” However, Hong Kong’s postnatal care sector has recently welcomed a disruptive technological breakthrough. Senior lactation specialist Anna (Shou-Li Shi), who possesses a background of many years in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and her team have successfully developed and popularized an innovative care methodology. Breaking away from traditional practices of applying forceful pressure right from the start, the technique achieves “complete zero breast contact” during the mother’s peak pain phase. By utilizing TCM facial meridian acupuncture points, engorgement pain is rapidly relieved or significantly alleviated within 1 to 3 minutes, after which gentle breast care is subsequently administered. The advent of this revolutionary technique is driving a profound mindset transformation within the local postnatal care industry.

Breaking Traditional Blind Spots: Farewell to the “Treating Pain with Pain” Care Destiny

In the past, handling severe milk duct blockages and engorgement crises locally largely relied on traditional strong massage, kneading, or manual milk expression. Many new mothers described the pain during initial touches as “even exceeding childbirth,” often causing immense psychological shadow and secondary trauma.

However, led by senior lactation specialist Anna Shi—who brings years of TCM background—Anna Postnatal Care Center has stepped out of the conventional mindset of merely focusing locally on the breasts. Their core breakthrough lies in the precise mastery of TCM meridian principles: during the acute onset stage when the mother experiences the most intense pain, the lactation specialist does not directly touch the breasts at all. Instead, through professional TCM facial meridian acupoint regulation, the body’s natural relaxation mechanism is activated, causing the engorgement pain to instantly subside or substantially ease within 1 to 3 minutes. Once the pain is relieved and the breast tissue relaxes, gentle techniques are then applied for subsequent care. This non-invasive logic of “pain relief first, care afterwards” completely subverts the past industry convention of “enduring pain for conditioning.”

A New Industry Wave: Driving Postnatal Home Care and At-Home Services Towards Refinement

Industry insiders analyze that this innovative approach—combining years of TCM heritage, facial meridians, and rapid pain relief—precisely addresses modern new mothers’ pain points of “fearing pain and resisting traditional massages.” Furthermore, coupled with an immediate at-home emergency service model across Hong Kong, it upgrades postnatal home support from passive “patient endurance” to proactive, comfortable, and scientific health management.

As this highly rare and breakthrough care technique in the Hong Kong market sparks widespread discussion within the industry, it is expected to attract significant attention from families pursuing high-quality postnatal living standards, rapidly propelling Hong Kong’s maternal and infant care industry toward greater humanization and professional heights.

• Partnership opens new avenue for Rhenus to offer customers audit-ready Book and Claim solutions for reducing the climate impact of transport emissions
• shipzero platform provides coverage across the Rhenus Group’s air, ocean and road operations
• Cooperation aims to support Rhenus Group’s Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) ambition through a methodology aligned with ISO14083 and the GLEC Framework

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 August 2026 – The Rhenus Group and the leading global emissions intelligence platform shipzero today announced a strategic partnership. Under the agreement, Rhenus customers gain access to a Book and Claim solution designed to reduce climate impact of global transports, covering alternative fuels and battery-electric vehicles across air, ocean and road transport.

As a multimodal logistics service provider, Rhenus relies heavily on external transport capacity. The company is therefore introducing a Book and Claim approach as a solution to reduce the climate impact of transport emissions in areas where Rhenus has no direct influence over the underlying assets. Book and Claim is advantageous here by allowing companies to support lower-emission transport solutions outside the physical transport chain of a specific shipment, with the climate benefit allocated through a verified accounting system. Thanks to shipzero’s auditable platform, companies are less reliant on manual processes and data processing.

Scope and Availability

Through the partnership, Rhenus customers can book alternative fuel and battery-electric transport solutions on a single-shipment basis or through larger, ongoing or retroactive agreements. The solution is available across Rhenus air, ocean and road operations, supported by shipzero’s platform and methodology.

The partnership responds to rising demand across the industry: Book and Claim has become a widely accepted instrument for reducing the impact of logistics emissions, particularly for companies with limited control over the physical assets moving their goods.

“By partnering with shipzero, we aim to scale solutions such as battery-electric vehicles, SAF and SMF to drive the sustainable transformation with our carriers. As more companies commit to Science Based Targets, auditable Book and Claim accounting becomes an increasingly important foundation for credible decarbonisation efforts, and shipzero’s independently verified approach enables us to deliver exactly that to our customers,” remarks Adrian Wojnowski, Manager Sustainable Solutions & Decarbonisation at Rhenus.

A trusted, verifiable approach

Rhenus has chosen to partner with shipzero because the platform offers a robust and auditable solution. Its multimodal coverage and methodological alignment were also key factors.

“We’re proud that Rhenus, as a global, multimodal logistics provider, has placed its trust in shipzero to deliver audit-ready CO2 reduction tracking, built on a methodology aligned with ISO 14083 and the MBM Framework, down to the last detail – for their business and for their customers. It’s exactly the kind of partnership we want to keep building on,” says Martin Jacobs, Director of Client Solutions at shipzero.

Methodology and Regulatory Context

A reliable and verifiable methodology was a key selection criterion for Rhenus when choosing a partner. shipzero’s Book and Claim approach has been audited by the independent certification body Müller-BBM Cert and complies with the Smart Freight Centre’s (SFC) MBM Framework as well as ISO standard 14083 and the GLEC Framework. The emissions reductions achieved are reported separately from Scope 1–3 emissions in accordance with the requirements of the GHG Protocol. This enables companies to transparently track and document the savings achieved.

The wins reflect a clear strategic direction: build protection for the risks shaping Singaporeans’ lives today — not yesterday.

Insuring the Future of Mobility
Allianz has been insuring electric vehicles since 2021, when it launched Allianz Electric Motor Protect — a motor insurance plan purpose-built for electric vehicle (EV) owners. Since then, EV policy volumes have tripled year-on-year as more drivers choose coverage designed around how they actually drive.

That early commitment to electric mobility led to a natural next step. In 2025, Allianz became the insurer of Singapore’s first fully driverless autonomous vehicle, and has since provided coverage for the country’s first autonomous public ride service. From EVs to autonomous vehicles — Allianz is insuring the future of how Singapore moves.

The same instinct — to protect Singaporeans against emerging risks — applies to the digital world.

Protecting Singaporeans Against Digital Fraud
Scam losses in Singapore reached S$913.1 million in 2025. Allianz Cyber Protect, launched through Allianz’s bancassurance partner, was built to close that gap. The plan reimburses financial losses from phishing, smishing, and transactions made through stolen credentials or misuse of payment methods — with coverage of up to S$60,000 per year. It also includes Shopping Protection for online purchases that are undelivered, defective, or incorrect.

Recognising that all Singaporeans deserve access to this protection, Allianz developed Allianz Scam Protect — available at www.allianz.sg and through its distribution channels — offering similar comprehensive coverage, made more readily accessible to everyone.

The Leadership Behind It All
Mr Raissi’s Outstanding Leader award ties the story together. Under his leadership, Allianz Insurance Singapore has grown and diversified its portfolio to motor, commercial lines, and personal lines with a focus on innovation and emerging risks. He has done so by consistently leading his team in building solutions for emerging risks before they become mainstream.

“Our job is to stay ahead of the risks Singaporeans face — whether that’s on the road, online, or in a driverless vehicle,” said Mr Hicham Raissi, CEO of Allianz Insurance Singapore. “These awards belong to the entire Allianz team — and there’s more to come.”

New partnership turns incorporation into a transaction-ready business in a single application — and sponsors 10 founders every month with a free upgrade to the fully-managed Expert package

Hong Kong SAR– Media OutReach Newswire – 14 August 2026 – Air Corporate, a Hong Kong-based digital corporate services provider, and Airwallex, a leading global payments and financial platform for modern businesses, have announced a strategic partnership that eliminates one of the most persistent friction points in business setup: the need to complete two separate applications for company registration and opening a payment account. Through a single application with Air Corporate, eligible founders now receive both a registered Hong Kong legal entity and a live Airwallex multi-currency account. To mark the launch, Airwallex and Air Corporate are sponsoring 10 Air Corporate clients each month with a complimentary upgrade to the fully-managed Expert package, removing the cost barrier that has historically kept early-stage founders on slower, self-managed paths.

The Two-Application Problem

Until now, setting up a business in Hong Kong has required two distinct processes. A founder first incorporates the company, then separately applies to a bank or payment provider, often resubmitting the same KYC, director, and shareholder documents that were already provided during incorporation. Approval timelines vary, rejections occur, and an incorporated company may remain unable to transact after the registration is complete. For founders trying to move quickly, this gap between incorporation and payment readiness has long been an operational obstacle.

One Application, Two Outcomes: The Expert Package

The Expert package serves as the primary component of this initiative. When a client onboards with Air Corporate under this tier, Air Corporate facilitates the entire Airwallex account-opening process on their behalf, thereby eliminating duplicate paperwork and the need for separate submissions to multiple providers. This consolidated approach allows founders to proceed from incorporation to operational status in as little as one to two weeks, compared to the typical weeks to months required for traditional banking solutions.

The Sponsorship: 10 Founders Every Month

Airwallex and Air Corporate are sponsoring a complimentary Expert upgrade for 10 Air Corporate clients each month. Founders who qualify receive a fully managed Airwallex account opening service at no additional cost. This is the same service available through the paid Expert tier. Sponsorship spots reset each month, with new availability opening to qualifying founders on an ongoing basis. Eligibility applies to new Air Corporate clients proceeding with company registration in Hong Kong, and available spots can be confirmed directly with the Air Corporate team.

Why Hong Kong?

Hong Kong remains the leading jurisdiction for founders entering Asian markets. Offshore profits are not subject to local tax; there are no foreign exchange controls; incorporation is fast; and the territory serves as a direct gateway to Mainland China and ASEAN. For international businesses, Hong Kong company registration has become the standard first step in a regional expansion strategy, given that the legal, regulatory, and financial infrastructure required to operate internationally is already in place.

What Airwallex Brings to the Partnership

Airwallex provides the payment infrastructure that enables day-one operability. Its platform supports multi-currency accounts, local collection in major currencies, foreign exchange at market-leading rates, and global payouts, all managed from a single interface. For founders operating across borders, having this capability active from the moment of incorporation removes the lag that typically delays first revenue and complicates early cash flow management.

Speaker Quote

“Our goal at Airwallex has always been to empower businesses to scale globally without borders or operational friction. Partnering with Air Corporate allows us to tackle one of the earliest and most persistent bottlenecks that founders face: the lag between becoming a legal entity and actually being able to transact. By consolidating company registration and financial setup into a single, seamless step, we are giving startups day-one operability so they can focus entirely on growth and building momentum from the very start,” said Marcus Cheng, Associate Director, GTM Partnerships, SME & Growth, Airwallex Hong Kong.

Who This Is For

This solution is built for e-commerce brands, cross-border trade, professional service providers, , and first-time founders expanding into or out of Asia who need to be fully operational and able to collect payments upon registration, without having to manage two separate onboarding processes simultaneously.

Available Now

Founders can apply directly through Air Corporate and check the availability of the monthly sponsored Expert upgrade spots. Further information is available at Air-Corporate.com/hk/Airwallex. Terms and conditions apply.

As a leading overseas payment service provider (PSP), PayerMax has integrated Rakuten Pay to enable international merchants to adopt this payment method in Japan. This integration marks a significant milestone in the technical collaboration, successfully supporting merchants in leveraging Rakuten Pay for their local operations.

The milestone not only enhances the localized payment experience for Last War players in Japan, but also demonstrates how international game publishers can leverage trusted local payment partnerships to accelerate market entry, strengthen localization and better engage Japanese consumers.

Connecting with Japanese Players Starts with Local Payments

As more global game publishers expand into Japan, localized payment experiences have become an increasingly important part of player acquisition, monetization and long-term growth.

As one of the flagship payment services within the Rakuten Ecosystem, Rakuten Pay plays a central role in Japan’s digital commerce landscape. The Rakuten Ecosystem connects more than 100 million registered members across e-commerce, financial services, travel, mobile and offline retail, and Rakuten Pay has become one of Japan’s most widely adopted local payment methods.

For international game publishers, integrating Rakuten Pay is about more than offering another payment option. It provides access to one of Japan’s most established consumer ecosystems, allowing games to deliver payment experiences aligned with local player preferences while building stronger engagement in one of the world’s most competitive gaming markets.

Supporting Last War Highlights PayerMax’s Local Payment Expertise in Japan

As one of the fastest-growing strategy games worldwide, Last War continues to expand its global footprint, with Japan representing one of its key strategic markets. As expectations for localized payment experiences continue to rise, enabling familiar and trusted local payment methods has become an important part of enhancing player experience and supporting sustainable growth.

With support from PayerMax, Last War successfully integrated Rakuten Pay, becoming a leading overseas game to support the payment method and offering Japanese players a more localized and seamless payment experience.

Designed to support international businesses entering Japan, PayerMax provides a unified payment solution that bridges the gap between global merchants and the local ecosystem. By leveraging PayerMax’s integration with Rakuten Pay, PayerMax serves as a gateway for international businesses to establish a strong presence in the Japanese market.

Faster Market Entry

Through PayerMax’s system integration with Rakuten Payment, eligible merchants benefit from a standardized integration pathway that shortens implementation timelines and accelerates go-to-market execution in Japan.

Reliable Compliance and Fund Management Enablement

Leveraging the established business relationships between PayerMax and Rakuten Pay, merchants are empowered to integrate Rakuten Pay through a streamlined, standardized pathway which is aligned with Japan’s local regulatory and operational requirements, thereby delivering a payment experience that resonates with the everyday spending habits of Japanese players. Furthermore, within this collaborative framework, PayerMax and Rakuten Pay facilitate the unified orchestration of critical processes including KYC, anti‑money laundering (AML) and fund management, effectively alleviating the operational complexities and associated costs of local payment execution. This enables merchants to refocus their resources on sustainable business growth and enriched player engagement.

Access to Japan’s Consumer Ecosystem

Through PayerMax, businesses can better engage local consumers, strengthen brand presence and build sustainable long-term growth in Japan.

The successful integration for Last War not only demonstrates the commercial value of the partnership between PayerMax and Rakuten Payment, but also provides a proven reference for more global game publishers and digital content companies expanding into Japan.

Executive Quotes

Hiroki Sogawa, Executive Officer, Rakuten Payment, said:

“We are pleased to partner with PayerMax and to see Last War, a leading title, successfully integrate Rakuten Pay as a payment option. Through this collaboration, we look forward to supporting more international businesses and digital content providers in delivering trusted, localized payment experiences for Japanese consumers.”

Will, APAC General Manager of PayerMax, said:

“Integrating with Rakuten Pay marks an important milestone in PayerMax’s expansion of local payment capabilities in Japan. The successful launch of Last War reflects the strength of our partnership and demonstrates our ability to help global game publishers and international businesses localize faster through trusted local payment infrastructure. Looking ahead, we will continue working with leading local payment partners worldwide to deliver secure, compliant and scalable payment solutions for global merchants.”

Today, PayerMax supports businesses across more than 150 markets and offers access to over 600 payment methods worldwide, backed by an extensive network of local payment partners spanning Japan, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and other high-growth regions.

Rather than simply aggregating payment methods, PayerMax focuses on connecting businesses with the local payment ecosystems that shape consumer behavior in each market. By combining enterprise-grade payment technology with trusted local partnerships, PayerMax enables international businesses to localize faster, operate more efficiently and achieve sustainable global growth.

As a grand industry promotion event for buyers, cultural and tourism professionals, and media outlets from across the country, the carnival showcased a wide range of Hinggan League’s distinctive eco-friendly agricultural and livestock products. Through industry stories, product tastings, business matchmaking, and the launch of cultural and tourism routes, the event highlighted the tangible results of Hinggan League’s efforts to leverage its pristine natural ecology, modern agricultural technologies, and full-chain industrial development to promote green development and increase local incomes. It also served as a bridge connecting Hinggan League’s premium ecological products with markets across China and overseas.

At the event, Hinggan League’s beef cattle and rice industries were among the key highlights, attracting considerable attention from numerous market players attending for exchanges and potential partnerships. Located in the golden latitude belt for agriculture and animal husbandry, Hinggan League enjoys exceptional natural advantages. In the early stages of industrial development, the league made coordinated plans for two key industries—beef cattle and rice—and launched an industrial upgrade covering the entire value chain, from breeding stock and forage to farming, processing, and branding.

Breeding is the “chip” of the beef cattle industry. In recent years, Hinggan League has vigorously introduced national-level cattle breeding technology enterprises and established its first national-level bull breeding station. More than 5.5 million doses of frozen semen from high-quality breeding cattle, including Simmental and Angus, are produced annually and distributed to various parts of China. At the same time, the region has continued to improve its technical service system. Through a tiered extension-agent system and on-site guidance in rural communities, local experts are helping herders adopt more scientific cattle-raising practices. In terms of forage supply, the Forage Industry Processing, Logistics and Trading Park in Keyouzhong Banner, Hinggan League, has officially begun operations, collecting crop straw from surrounding farmland and processing it into high-quality forage. Research teams have also successfully developed palatable fermented feed using microbial fermentation technology, substantially reducing the average daily feeding cost per head of cattle and securing the “first mile” of the industry chain.

At the sales and branding end, Hinggan League’s beef cattle industry is making a comprehensive transition from “selling live cattle” to “selling brands.” The region has not only cultivated large-scale meat processing enterprises and developed more than 100 product categories for e-commerce and foodservice channels nationwide, but has also established a livestreaming e-commerce operations center and set up marketing centers and forward warehouses in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. With the official launch of regional public brands such as “Keyouzhong Banner Beef,” a complete modern beef cattle industry chain is now taking shape.

As with beef, the key to the development of Hinggan League rice also lies in the full value chain from seed to table. The fragrant, glutinous, and sweet taste of Hinggan League rice comes from its pristine ecological foundation—clean water, clean soil, and clean air. Local research teams have been working on the front lines of rice breeding for more than 30 years, independently developing and registering 21 high-quality rice varieties and helping thousands of farming households increase their incomes each year.

With quality seeds in place, farming methods are also undergoing profound changes. In Duerji Town, Keyouzhong Banner, local rice cooperatives have adopted a model of “unified planting, unified processing, and unified sales,” while developing their own brands. By combining contract farming with online and offline sales, they have secured reliable sales channels and helped cooperative members achieve significant income growth. In Zhalaite Banner, meanwhile, entrepreneurs who returned to their hometowns took the lead in introducing integrated fertigation technology using drip irrigation beneath plastic film, enabling rice to be grown on “dry land” and achieving both ecological and economic benefits, including water savings of 700 cubic meters per mu. With rice now entering a critical period for field management, agricultural technicians and farmers are busy carrying out scientific foliar nutrient supplementation, applying nitrogen fertilizer appropriately, and conducting regular field inspections for pests. Through precise water and fertilizer management and green pest and disease control, they are laying a solid foundation for stable high yields in the autumn harvest.

From a quality seed to a premium cut of beef, and from a bowl of rice to a regional brand, the cattle and rice industries may appear to follow two separate paths, but in reality they are part of a single coordinated strategy. Under Hinggan League’s overall planning and coordination, the concentrated beef cattle breeding and finishing base in Zhalaite Banner has brought in a state-owned enterprise to operate the facility, significantly increasing collective village income. Meanwhile, 38 enterprises in Hinggan League authorized to use the “Hinggan League Rice” brand have all adopted the nine standards established for the brand, driving the brand value beyond RMB 31 billion.

Winds sweep across the Horqin Grassland, sending waves through the grass and bending the heavy ears of rice. Moving from selling raw grain and live cattle to selling brands and quality, Hinggan League’s more than a decade of dedicated efforts have transformed the grassland’s ecological advantages into industrial strengths and its resource advantages into greater income for local communities, making “cattle and rice” a solid pillar of prosperity for the people and development across the league.

2Q26 Business and Financial Highlights

• Bora delivered historically record-high quarterly revenues of NT$5,889 million in 2Q26, up 47.2% quarter-over-quarter driven by broad-based operational momentum, with basic EPS of NT$4.36.
• CDMO revenue growth and increased site utilization rates, along with strong growth in the rare disease business and a return to growth for generics business of the Pharma Sales operations lifted group profitability, with gross margin expanding to 41.3% from 36.0% and operating margin reaching 16.8% from 10.2% in 1Q26. Excluding one-time costs related to the Weider Global Nutrition transaction, operating margin was approximately 18%.
• CDMO’s strong backlog of US$317 million as of end of 2Q26, another historical high following a strong quarter, signals that Bora’s core business continued to perform with higher demand.
• Pharma Sales’ rare disease franchise continues to show double digit sequential growth and the increased demand from government channels during the quarter with stabilized pricing in DLS has lifted the generics business back to normal.
• Reflecting Bora’s recent increase in investment in Sunway Biotech, from 35.97% to 42.27% and subsequent acquisitions of Weider Global Nutrition’s, the Company has introduced “Consumer Healthcare (CHC)” as a new segment in its revenue mix disclosure beginning this quarter. In 2Q26, revenues from CHC were NT$824.76 million in 2Q26, a 354.4% increase QoQ and 234.3% YoY, and contributed to 14% of the Bora Groups consolidated revenues, an all-time high.
• Cash-on-hand reached an all-time high of NT$8,431 million as the Company was preparing for MacroGenics Inc.’s Rockville facility acquisition.
• The Company has kicked off a group-wide AI in Manufacturing, BORA AIM, program aimed at improving process efficiency across sites, spanning engineering, quality and production. Bora has also signed a partnership with Insilico Medicine for AI drug discovery. The first 6 months will focus on beta version testing of the Bora AIM agents and AI champions to drive process consolidation.
• Share capital increased 0.3% during the quarter from employee stock option exercise.

Mr. Bobby Sheng, Chairman of Bora Group, stated, “We are pleased to announce Bora Group’s return to strong operating profits and double to triple-digit growth on all key margins sequentially, as well as demonstrate that our soft 1Q26 performance was anomalous rather than structural. Our impressive sequential improvement was driven entirely by strong demand from both our CDMO and Pharma Sales businesses, with 2Q26 manufactured batches reaching 0.38 billion doses, led by increased commercial production in Maple Grove and Zhunan sites and a full quarter of operations in the Maryland injectable facility, while our flagship products DLS and VIGAFYDE® in Pharma Sales continues to secure leading market share.

Our focus right now is execution. CAPEX investments in our mature sites, including facilities in Taiwan and in Canada, continue to deliver operational leverage driven by gross margin expansion, and our recently acquired oral solid dose facility in Maple Grove continues to show stellar and impactful demand as we sign more projects. Our 12-month rolling backlog is at historic high in almost all our sites, despite projected manufacturing delays at our Maryland injectable facility as we diligently respond to FDA audit observations from a recent audit. Bora Group’s commitment to the fast-growing Biologics manufacturing industry took another big step as we look to integrate 12,000 liters of capacity, and 3 commercial products from our Rockville facility, as well as see revenue recognition from this acquisition starting Q3. As Bora’s CDMO footprint expands in the US, we continue to capture durable, high-value demand as customers increasingly prioritize supply security and onshore capacity.

In addition, we are seeing sustained growth and improved gross margins in the Vigabatrin franchise, our most important, rare disease franchise, thanks to renegotiations with our partner vendors. Accelerated state and government orders for generics products increased 2Q26 revenues and 6 new generics launches have also supported a more diversified generics portfolio. Together, the advancement in rare disease franchise and generics business has positioned Bora’s Pharma Sales business, operating under the name Upsher-Smith, in a far stronger state than it was just a quarter ago.

As announced in July, we are excited to be developing a group-wide AI in Manufacturing program, BORA AIM, aimed at improving process efficiency across sites, spanning engineering, quality and production. We also announced a partnership with Insilico Medicine to enhance our understanding of AI drug discovery and create more customized AI manufacturing platforms for AIDD small molecules. In the next 12 months, Bora Group will be ready to showcase some exciting AI-enabled CDMO platforms that will truly add value to our partners and sharpen the overall competitive advantages of Bora Group.

As our momentum carries Bora into the second half of the year, we expect margins of our flagship products in Pharma Sales and CHC businesses to hold steady on continuous revenue growth, and improved efficiencies in the CDMO business in addition to consolidation of new revenues from the Rockville facility.”

2Q26 Operational Achievements & 2026 Outlook

Global CDMO Operations

Revenues increased 30.3% year-over-year and 29.0% quarter-over-quarter including internal orders, and 33.0% and 40.2% external orders only, or NT$2,116.4 million. The growth was primarily driven by a strong rebound in injectables following the semi-annual maintenance in 1Q26 and same period last year, and demand acceleration overall as we continue to meet the increasing backlog.

CDMO business also signed a record high US$378.2 million in total external wins. Highlighted by a 10+2-year, multi product commercial contract in our Maple Grove facility with a new top-20 pharma company, and 14 new molecules from pre-commercial programs from multiple new customers. Bora is confident in its mid- to long-term growth trajectory as pharma and biotech companies continue to look for US based CDMOs as a part of their efforts to onshore US production and improve supply chain resilience.

During the quarter, 0.38 billion doses, or 109 molecules, were developed and manufactured. Contribution from the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies stood at roughly 30% and should increase drastically in the next 8 quarters.

Looking at 3Q26, the Company is highly optimistic, with our backlog having climbed to an unprecedented level even after a strong quarter of manufacturing output. We do anticipate some timing shifts in revenue recognition related to scheduled semi-annual maintenance at our Maryland injectable site, alongside targeted quality-enhancement activities in connection with observations on passive RABS (Restricted Access Barrier System) line received from an FDA audit that took place 2Q26. However, there has been no reduction in total commercial batch productions in 2026 as we speak and several existing clients have initiated transfers to the FlexPro isolator filling lines. RFP activity has risen, with the first GMP PPQ campaign starting in August. On the newest, isolator-based AST lines, factory acceptance testing (FAT) is planned for Q326, with qualification to follow in 2027, expanding our ability to onboard small-scale isolator programs, including tech transfers.

On biologics, Rockville facility revenue recognition started in the first month of 3Q26 and the site has confirmed that it is on track to deliver batch production volumes ahead of last year’s run rate of around 13 batches for the remainder of 2026. We anticipate one-time transaction costs from this acquisition of approximately 3% of the purchase price including legal and FA fee and transition related expenses as stated in the Transition Service Agreement. The Rockville acquisition expands biologics capacity and brings integrated drug substance (DS) and drug product (DP) capabilities under one roof, strengthening our end-to-end service offering and attracting more inbound opportunities and higher value conversion with cross selling opportunities for our injectable business.

For our strategic investment in Tanvex Biopharma, the main Bora Biologics platform company, although the business still operates at a loss, Tanvex has built a strong presence in international conferences, especially Bio International in the US in June. We have seen a positive uptick in pipeline from leading biotechs and heavy weight biopharmas, and stable demand for early-stage PD programs in Zhubei. The Rockville acquisition is expected to orchestrate and accelerate opportunities for Tanvex in the coming quarters.

Pharma Sales Operations

Revenues decreased 2.7% year-over-year and increased 30.4% quarter-over-quarter, arriving at NT$2,934.04 million in 2Q26. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a product rationalization program in 2025 that lead to the withdrawal of a basket of legacy generics products.

During the quarter, specialty and brand came in strongly, up 58.8% for the quarter QoQ and displayed almost 50% growth against 2025 run rate. The rare-disease Vigabatrin franchise demand is robust, and our continuous investment in the segment has resulted in much broader patient access compared to when we acquired Upsher-Smith 28 months ago. On coverage, we are on track to achieve year-end formulary goal of >50%, supported by more regional plans and strong physician adoption as they gain experience with VIGAFYDE®. The Company has also renegotiated contracts with suppliers, leading to improved gross margins for the franchise during the quarter and expects full economic contribution starting 3Q26. Simultaneously, the Company out-licensed its non-core assets, Stiripentol generics and 505(b)(2), during the quarter, fully capturing the economic value of these drug assets to enable fueled and renewed focus on core specialty and brand business.

The generics business returned to stability as Upsher-Smith successfully defended flagship product DLS. High value generics advanced 20.6% sequentially from downstream restocking, narrowing the year-to-date YoY decline against 2025 run rate to high teens.

Having executed our way through specialty and brand business growth and generics portfolio optimization, we have returned to the 2023–2024 peaks of Pharma Sales performance but with healthier and more resilient operating profits. As of now, Upsher-Smith sees 6 ANDA pending approval.

CHC Operations

Bora Group has increased holdings of Sunway Biotech to 42.27% through a private placement at $NT 596 million. Subsequently, Sunway completed the acquisition of Weider Global Nutrition (WGN), a global nutritional supplements company with offices in the US, Spain, and Germany and products sold in over 60 countries. Benefitting from the consolidation of WGN that started in May, Consumer Health business totaled NT$824.76 million in 2Q26, a 354.4% increase QoQ and 234.3% YoY. Focusing on longevity and sports nutrition, WGN’s distribution strength is expected to meaningfully contribute to the CHC business in 2026 and beyond and shall deliver vertical-integration synergies to Sunway’s existing ingredients’ manufacturing operations. Together, the WGN acquisition is expected to catapult Sunway Biotech into a leading global nutritional supplements company and substantially accelerate top and bottom-line improvements in the future.

Recent Investor Conference

Bora will host English online earnings call at 8:00 a.m. Taiwan time on Aug. 14^th, 2026. The event will cover the Company’s 2Q26 financial and business results and 2H26 outlook.

The “Mini Moon Quartet” Unveils Four Distinct Flavors Crafted with Elegance

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 August 2026 – As the Mid-Autumn moon peaks, reunion means more than a gathering over a meal. It is a generational festival memory stirred by timeless flavors. This year, Yung Kee Restaurant continues its theme “Indulging in Moonlit Delights, Embracing the Joy of Reunion” to unveil its 2026 Mid-Autumn mooncake collection. Three enticing new flavors – Mini Matcha Lava Custard, Mini Taro Custard with Coconut Milk, and Mini Red Bean Paste with Mandarin Peel – join the festival-favorite Mini Lava Custard Mooncakes to form the all-new “Mini Moon Quartet”. Paired alongside time-honored classics – Lotus Seed Paste Mooncakes with Double Yolks and Mixed Nuts Mooncakes with Chinese Ham, these exquisite combinations bring heartfelt warmth and variety to every festive table.

“Mini Moon Quartet”: Savoring Distinctive and Exquisite Flavors

Crafting the perfect mooncake demands meticulous ingredient sourcing, precise heat control, and decades of artisanal skill. This year, Yung Kee presents the Mini Moon Quartet, each recipe thoughtfully tailored to showcase the natural character of its premium ingredients. From subtle tea aromas and creamy milk notes to the comfort of taro and mellow fragrance of aged mandarin peel, each mini mooncake offers a nuanced, multi-layered taste profile.

Mini Matcha Lava Custard Mooncake is made with top‑tier First‑Flush (Ichiban‑cha) tencha from Shiga Prefecture, stone‑milled at low temperature into a fine, vibrant powder. Blended with premium milk and rich cream, it reveals a silky molten center where velvety custard meets bold matcha. Each bite unfolds bold and velvety matcha followed by a gentle milk finish. Vibrant without bitterness, it leaves a soothing, lingering sweetness – striking an elegant balance between rich and refreshing.

Mini Taro Custard with Coconut Milk Mooncake is crafted with authentic Taiwanese taro, prized for its natural aroma and fluffy texture, then slow‑cooked to melt‑in‑your‑mouth perfection. Velvety taro paste encases a silky molten coconut core, delivering a beautifully layered Cantonese dessert that is indulgent yet never heavy.

Among the three new flavors, Mini Red Bean Paste with Mandarin Peel Mooncake embodies authentic traditional charm. Made with 10‑Year Aged Xinhui Mandarin peel and premium Tianjin red beans, slow-cooked into a smooth, velvety paste. The subtle bitter-sweet citrus aroma perfectly cuts through the paste’s mellow sweetness. Encased in a traditional syrup crust, rested overnight and baked to golden perfection. A refined Mid‑Autumn indulgence with heritage and harmony in every bite.

Mini Lava Custard Mooncakes return by popular demand. This crowd favorite blends premium New Zealand butter, French cream, and Japanese flour blended with rich salted egg yolks, then infused with creamy custard and coconut milk for a silky lava center. A gentle cut lets the luscious molten heart cascade slowly, blending savory salted egg yolk aroma with buttery creaminess for a satisfying, perfectly balanced flavor.

Timeless Classics: Handcrafted Mastery Preserving Heritage Truths

Though newmooncakeflavors captivate for a moment, the classics glow with lasting brilliance. For generations of Hong Kong families, Lotus Seed Paste Mooncakes with Double Yolks and Mixed Nuts Mooncakes with Chinese Ham have been more than festive delicacies, they are cherished memories anchored to the Mid-Autumn dining table. Yung Kee’s Lotus Seed Paste Mooncakes with Double Yolks celebrate tradition and craftsmanship. Made with premium Xiang lotus seeds-praised as “China’s finest”-slow‑cooked for over three hours with pure cane sugar, creating a smooth, velvety filling that never turns grainy. This classic relies entirely on precise heat control and technique of master chefs. Hand‑rolled pastry and salted egg yolks complete this timeless creation, bringing comforting richness. Harmonious layers of lotus fragrance, gentle sweetness and savoury yolk notes form an enduring classic.

Behind the seemingly simple Mixed Nuts Mooncakes with Chinese Ham lies a recipe that tests craftsmanship most rigorously. Five selected nuts – walnuts, olive kernels, melon seeds, sesame, and almonds – are blended with Jinhua ham. Master chefs rely on decades of experience to achieve the exact mixing pressure and ingredient proportions, ensuring the filling remains delightfully textured rather than dense. Every bite delivers a crisp nuttiness followed by the savory richness of cured ham, creating a deeply harmonious and unforgettable finish.

Four Themed Gift Box Combinations to Meet Diverse Gifting Needs

This year’s mooncake gift boxes retain the elegant packaging design embodying exquisite Eastern aesthetics, with brand-new assortments tailored to cater to diverse customer preferences:

• ⁠⁠”EMBRACE” Mooncake Set: One Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake with Double Yolks and one Mixed Nuts Mooncake with Chinese Ham – conveying festive reunion blessings through timeless classic tastes.

• “ENRICH” Mooncake Set: Eight Mini Moon Quartet – gathering a delightful array of mini mooncakes in one box to savor a rich spectrum of unique flavors.

• Chubb Care Critical Illness Series offers comprehensive protection for healthy individuals, cancer survivors and individualswith cardiovascular disease or diabetes histories, helping address a significant coverage gap in Hong Kong.

The series aims to address a significant coverage gap in Hong Kong by offering comprehensive protection for customers across a range of health backgrounds,including those with a history of critical illness.

With private healthcare costs in Hong Kong ranked the second highest in the world¹, continuous critical illness protection against recurring or subsequent major illnesses remains increasingly crucial. At the same time, individuals with a history of critical illness often face application rejections, policy exclusions or higher premiums. Chubb Care Critical Illness Series addresses these varied health profiles through four distinct options:

• Chubb Every Care Critical Illness Insurance Plan (“Chubb Every Care”): Designed for healthy individuals, with coverage for 146 illnesses and up to 800% protection².
• Chubb Cancer / Cardio / Diabetes Care Critical Illness Insurance Plan (“Chubb Cancer/ Cardio/ Diabetes Care”): Designed for cancer survivors, individuals with cardiovascular disease and those with well-controlled diabetes respectively with a simplified underwriting approach, offering up to 300% protection³ for up to 128 illnesses⁴.

The series is designed for customers with different health needs and encompasses groundbreaking first-in-market⁵ features including:

• Flexible payout options: Offers a standby cash option for an additional 100% of the sum assured, or an ongoing protection option for continuing coverage up to 5 additional claims under Chubb Every Care.
• Reimbursement for out-of-pocket items⁶: Covers eligible self-financed drugs and/or privately purchased medical items⁷ for cancer, heart attack⁷, and stroke⁷.
• Post-recovery & advanced care⁶: Delivers extra 20% of the Sum Assured for appearance restoration and side-effects resulting from cancer and its treatments, plus an additional 20% of the Sum Assured if a condition progresses to advanced stage cancer, severe heart attack⁷ or severe stroke⁷.

To support customers residing in both Mainland China and Hong Kong, the series also features unified premiums for Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland customers and recognizes health reports from designated mainland hospitals. Other key benefits include a simplified underwriting process, an exceptional leverage ratio and one-stop dedicated medical case management team led by a family doctor⁸.

Alex Wong, Chief Customer Proposition Officer of Chubb Life Hong Kong, said: “Many individuals who have recovered from a critical illness may find themselves without insurance protection after their first diagnosis, leaving them financially exposed if the illness returns. With the launch of Chubb Care Critical Illness Series, we are helping to address this uncertainty by giving customers greater choice and practical support at every stage of their health journey, so they and their families can navigate the future with confidence. Chubb Life Hong Kong is committed to delivering forward-looking health solutions that respond directly to our customers’ evolving needs.”

About Chubb

Recognition from the U.S. Green Building Council, Global Forum on Human Settlements, GEO Foundation, and Asia’s Top 100 Golf Courses — and what that recognition proves about the full picture of Forest City Special Financial Zone (SFZ).

These include eight awards under the Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements Awards (SCAHSA) series issued by the Global Forum on Human Settlements (GFHS), as well as a 2024 Certificate of Honor from GFHS; LEED for Core and Shell (LEED-CS) Gold pre-certification from the U.S. Green Building Council; GreenRE Gold ratings for Forest City Island and its international school; GEO Certified status for both golf courses from Scotland’s GEO Foundation; and a seven-year consecutive ranking for Forest City Golf Resort’s Classic Course among the Top 100 Golf Courses in Asia. In 2026, the Classic Course was ranked No. 1 in Malaysia and No. 36 in Asia.

The awards and certifications documented here address a specific set of criteria: design quality, sustainability standards, and operational assessments by independent institutions. This release provides a transparent account of the institutions that have assessed Forest City, the areas reviewed, and the limits of what such recognition can reasonably prove.

Sustainability and Green-Building Recognition

LEED-CS Gold pre-certification has been secured from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for multiple buildings, demonstrating that environmental performance was embedded in project planning from the outset. LEED pre-certification represents verified design intent and a formal commitment to sustainable performance criteria, including energy modelling, water efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality.

This design-stage commitment is reflected across the master plan, which dedicates over 60% of the total land area to non-built space, equivalent to 2.86 million m² of green infrastructure. This includes two golf courses, public parks, landscaped residential zones, and mangrove corridors extending along the Johor coastline — green space that, as of 2026, supports more than 400 officially documented species.

At the national level, Forest City Island and its international school have received GreenRE Gold ratings under Malaysia’s green real-estate framework, reinforcing the project’s alignment with recognised sustainability benchmarks at both international and domestic levels. Beyond building-level certifications, Forest City has received eight awards under the SCAHSA, issued by the GFHS, an international non-profit organisation in special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. The documented recognition spans planning and design, green-building industrial development, city-industry integration, green smart city development, coastal ecological protection, low-carbon city planning, and green and intelligent construction, with awards recorded from 2016 to 2023. In 2024, Forest City also received a Certificate of Honor at the 19th Global Forum on Human Settlements from GFHS for its contribution to promoting sustainable cities and human settlements for all.

Golf and Hospitality Recognition

Forest City’s leisure and hospitality assets have also received external recognition, led by the continued performance of Forest City Golf Resort’s Classic Course in regional rankings. The Classic Course has maintained its position among the Top 100 Golf Courses in Asia for seven consecutive years, ranking No. 1 in Malaysia and No. 36 in Asia in 2026, a rise of 14 places from the previous year. The ranking is assessed by an independent panel co-hosted since 2016 by the Chinese and Korean editions of Golf Travel magazine and was reported by The Star on 26 April 2026 following the awards ceremony at Hillview Golf Club on 14 April 2026.

The hospitality component of the resort has also received platform-based recognition. Forest City Golf Hotel earned the Agoda Gold Circle Award 2025 based on service ratings and operational performance on the booking platform. Forest City regards the award as an encouraging indicator of its commitment to guest experience and service consistency, while noting that it reflects day-to-day hospitality performance rather than a measure of the wider development.

Additionally, both golf courses have earned GEO Certified status from Scotland’s GEO Foundation, which evaluates sustainable golf-course operations. GEO Certified is described by the GEO Foundation as “golf’s most comprehensive and widely recognised eco-label”, and is awarded following successful completion of the OnCourse programme and an independent audit. Collectively, these accolades attest to quality across golfing excellence, hospitality service, and environmental stewardship — recognition reflected in visitor engagement, with the resort welcoming more than 100,000 golfers in 2025.

Economic and Community Contribution

Forest City’s recognition record is supported by reported economic and social contribution figures. Internal records indicate that, as of November 2025, the development had contributed over RM790 million in taxes to the Malaysian government, alongside more than RM50 million in employee-related taxes.

More than RM53 million has been invested in charity and community programmes, including support for local schools and villages, and more than 10,000 direct and indirect jobs have been created.

According to Forest City’s internal records as of November 2025, the development has engaged more than 190 local enterprises, attracted property owners from over 20 countries and territories, and contributed to attracting an estimated 300,000 international visitors to Malaysia.

The Significance Behind These Award

In 2018, Forest City was profiled by Forbes as one of the “5 new cities that are set to shake up the future”. While the coverage is now nearly eight years old, it underscores the project’s long-standing visibility in global urban development conversations, rather than serving as an endorsement of present-day investment returns.

Green-building certifications relate primarily to design and operational standards; the SCAHSA recognitions focus on planning and sustainability; and golf-course rankings evaluate course quality and related criteria.

For prospective residents and investors, the awards should therefore be treated as evidence of build quality, institutional engagement and assessed sustainability credentials, to be considered alongside current data on occupancy, demand, connectivity and market liquidity. Questions relating to the Special Financial Zone framework and connectivity — including the Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System Link scheduled to open for passenger service on 1 January 2027 — should be assessed through dedicated materials, current market data and, where relevant, Forest City’s investment overview.

The Broader Impact of Awards and Recognitions

The relevance of Forest City’s awards and certifications varies by audience. For ESG-minded investors and institutions, the most relevant credentials are Forest City’s LEED-CS Gold pre-certification, GreenRE Gold ratings, and GFHS recognition. These are issuer-named credentials aligned with green-investment screening and can be reviewed alongside Forest City’s broader investment framework. For enterprises operating within the SFZ, this integrated environment — where land and marine ecosystems are carefully preserved — enhances environmental performance and strengthens sustainability credentials.

For prospective residents and families, the GreenRE rating for the international school and the golf and hospitality recognition for the resort may be more directly relevant to daily living than city-planning awards. These credentials point to quality — but prospective residents should also assess schools, amenities, transport, community facilities, and the broader facts about Forest City on the ground.

For Malaysia-market watchers, Forest City’s SCAHSA record and reported RM790 million tax contribution mark the development as a recognised case study in green development and city-industry integration. This recognition is a data point on the development’s institutional standing, not a forecast of its commercial outcome.

Conclusion

What the awards record does establish is something more specific. Forest City reports nearly 40 awards and certifications across named institutions, including the U.S. Green Building Council, the Global Forum on Human Settlements, the GEO Foundation, and the Top 100 Golf Courses in Asia panel. This is accompanied by reported contributions of more than RM790 million in taxes and the creation of more than 10,000 direct and indirect jobs. Prospective residents and investors should also consider Forest City’s position as the financial-services flagship within the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone, along with its duty-free island and Malaysia Digital Status.

The strongest claim the awards support is also the most modest one: that Forest City has been built and planned to a standard that named international institutions have repeatedly chosen to certify — which is a starting point for due diligence, not a substitute for it.

• New 20,000 sqm facility will more than triple Kuehne+Nagel’s Container Freight Station capacity in Cambodia
• Strategic location strengthens cross-border connectivity between Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam
• Expanded facility supports customers in the consumer goods industry

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 August 2026 – Kuehne+Nagel has invested in a new Container Freight Station (CFS) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Scheduled for completion in June 2027, the facility will provide more than 20,000 sqm of warehouse space, helping customers manage growing trade volumes and move goods more efficiently within Cambodia and across the region.

Cambodia continues to strengthen its trade infrastructure, with Phnom Penh Autonomous Port handling around 600,000 TEUs and Sihanoukville Autonomous Port approximately 1.3 million TEUs in 2025. Complementing this growth, the new CFS is strategically located near key transport gateways, including both ports, Phnom Penh International Airport and cross-border road links to Thailand and Vietnam, facilitating cargo movements across the country and supporting regional logistics operations.

David Roussiere, Managing Director, Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar, Kuehne+Nagel, said: “This investment will more than triple our CFS capacity in Cambodia and strengthen our logistics capabilities in the country. With direct access to key transportation gateways and regional trade corridors, the facility will support customers in the consumer good industry as they navigate evolving supply chains and growing trade opportunities across the region.”

Designed for cargo consolidation and handling operations, the new CFS will feature a raised-floor warehouse equipped with loading doors and dock levellers. It will offer a floor loading capacity of five tonnes per square metre and is expected to be certified to ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 standards.

The facility will also incorporate sustainability features including solar panels, skylight roofing, LED lighting, battery-operated forklifts, water infiltration systems and rainwater management infrastructure.

The investment reflects Kuehne+Nagel’s continued focus on strengthening its logistics infrastructure in high-growth markets and supporting the expansion of regional and international trade.

1. Strengthening Hong Kong’s position as a leading international financial centre
2. Developing the Northern Metropolis as a key engine of economic growth and innovation
3. Reinforcing Hong Kong’s role as an international trade hub
4. Establishing leadership in sustainable finance and transition finance
5. Building a future-ready workforce and innovation-driven economy

Macro vision and strategic positioning

Mr Cyrus Cheung, President of CPA Australia Greater China Division, emphasised the importance of long-term planning to support Hong Kong’s future competitiveness; “Hong Kong is entering an important period of economic development. The formulation of Hong Kong’s first Five-Year Plan alongside China’s 15^th Five-Year Plan and the 2026 Policy Address provides an opportunity to leverage the city’s unique strengths, support innovation and sustainable investment, and strengthen its long-term competitiveness.”

Mr Cheung said Hong Kong should build on its role as a “super-connector” and “super-value-adder” by broadening its strategic focus beyond traditional trade and financial flows. “We recommend positioning Hong Kong as a comprehensive capital markets hub encompassing commodities, precious metals, carbon products, digital assets and RMB-denominated products. Given its strong financial, regulatory and legal foundations, Hong Kong should set a long-term ambition to become Asia’s leading centre for gold trading, clearing, settlement, financing and risk management.”

He added that Hong Kong is well placed to play a larger role in supporting the international expansion of Chinese enterprises.

CPA Australia’s recent research on Chinese enterprises going global found that over 3,000 A-share listed companies generated RMB 4.90 trillion in overseas revenue in the first half of 2025 alone. As Chinese enterprises continue to expand into ASEAN, the Middle East, Africa and other international markets, Hong Kong should position itself as the leading provider of professional services to support their global growth.

Enhancing Hong Kong’s capital market ecosystem

Mr Kelvin Leung, Deputy President of CPA Australia’s Greater China Division, highlighted key priorities for enhancing Hong Kong’s capital market ecosystem; “Hong Kong’s long-term success will depend on its ability to evolve beyond a traditional IPO fundraising centre into a comprehensive capital formation centre, positioning the city’s financial sector at the heart of international capital flows between entrepreneurs, investors, institutions and global markets.”

Mr Leung said this evolution should be supported by the continued development of areas such as digital finance, asset tokenisation, offshore RMB business, wealth management and family offices. “To support Hong Kong’s long-term development, the government should leverage the Hong Kong Investment Corporation (HKIC) to catalyse private sector investment in strategic industries. To further strengthen the economy, we encourage the government to develop a Capital Formation Strategy in close collaboration with Mainland regulators.”

Mr Leung added that maintaining Hong Kong’s tax competitiveness will be critical to preserving its status as a leading international financial centre. “We suggest a comprehensive review of Hong Kong’s tax system, potentially structured as a series of interconnected reviews covering key sectors including family offices, funds, corporate treasury centres, insurance, and private credit. Led by the Advisory Committee on Tax Policy, these reviews should focus on reducing administrative burdens, assessing substance requirements and safeguarding the city’s international investment appeal.”

Accelerating Northern Metropolis growth and technology commercialisation

Dr Albert Wong, a divisional councillor on CPA Australia’s Greater China Division, outlined a potential roadmap to support Hong Kong’s technological transformation: “The Northern Metropolis should be positioned as an internationally connected engine of growth and innovation, serving as a strategic platform bringing together world-class universities, research institutions, multinational corporations, investors and technology enterprises to accelerate the development and commercialisation of new technologies.”

Dr Wong said stronger support is needed to help innovative ideas move more efficiently from research laboratories to commercial markets. “To strengthen Hong Kong’s innovation ecosystem, we recommend establishing a ‘Government-as-First-Customer’ procurement program to support local tech firms. We also recommend leveraging the HKIC as an anchor investor, where appropriate, to help attract private capital into locally developed technologies, alongside the creation of a University Commercialisation Acceleration Fund, to expedite the translation of research into commercial outcomes.”

He added that Hong Kong should further strengthen support for business adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies. “To align with the national ‘AI+’ initiative and enhance business competitiveness, Hong Kong should expand support for AI adoption through measures such as an AI Adoption Support Scheme for SMEs and a Cross-Border Data Exchange Sandbox with the GBA.

Dr Wong emphasised that realising the full benefits of AI requires significant investment in education, workforce development and talent attraction. “Capturing the opportunities presented by AI requires a fundamental transformation in education and workforce skills. Hong Kong should aim for higher levels of digital literacy, critical thinking, communication and human-AI collaboration across all levels of education and training,”

Leadership in sustainable and transition finance

Highlighting long-term economic resilience and sustainable growth, Mr Cyrus Cheung added that said Hong Kong is well positioned to play a leading role in financing Asia’s transition to a lower-carbon economy. “Building on its strengths as a leading centre of finance and professional services, Hong Kong is uniquely positioned to become Asia’s leading centre for financing the transition to low emissions technologies and serve as a bridge between the Chinese Mainland’s carbon markets and international investors. The Five-Year Plan should include a clear ambition to develop a comprehensive ecosystem for sustainable finance, transition finance, carbon trading, climate-related reporting, assurance and advisory services.”

Mr Cheung said Hong Kong has a unique opportunity to leverage its access to both Mainland and international capital to support the region’s decarbonisation efforts. “By adopting international sustainability standards and leveraging its access to Mainland and global capital, Hong Kong can play a leading role in mobilising investment for Asia’s decarbonisation transition. The Northern Metropolis should also be positioned as a demonstration zone for sustainable urban development and green infrastructure.”

CPA Australia believes that aligning near-term policy initiatives with a clear five-year strategic framework will help Hong Kong strengthen its competitiveness and accelerate its development into a more diversified, innovative and resilient economy.

New KL Eco City office strengthens the company’s regional presence through strategic partnerships with leading banking, trustee, insurance, and wealth planning institutions.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 August 2026 – Marvel Capital Holdings Ltd. officially marked a significant milestone with the grand opening of its new regional office at Mercu Aspire, KL Eco City, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to serving high-net-worth individuals, families, and business owners across Asia.

The opening ceremony was commemorated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Mr. Jayden Wong, Managing Director of Marvel Capital Holdings Ltd., together with distinguished institutional partners and senior executives, including Mr. Jonathan Chan, Head of Legal of the European Credit Investment Bank (ECIB), Mr. Alvin Tan, CEO of AEI Asset Wealth, and Marvel Capital’s senior management team.

The new office represents more than a physical expansion—it reflects Marvel Capital’s vision of establishing Kuala Lumpur as a strategic regional hub for private trust advisory, wealth structuring, and cross-border family office solutions.

From this regional headquarters, Marvel Capital will serve clients across Asia by facilitating access to comprehensive wealth planning solutions, including private trust establishment, succession and legacy planning, wealth protection structures, insurance solutions, and cross-border family office services. Working closely with its network of institutional partners, the company aims to provide integrated solutions tailored to the evolving needs of affluent families, entrepreneurs, and business owners throughout the region.

Speaking during the ceremony, Mr. Jayden Wong, Managing Director of Marvel Capital Holdings Ltd., said the new office reflects the company’s confidence in the growing demand for sophisticated wealth planning and legacy solutions across Asia.

“As wealth continues to become increasingly global, families require more than traditional financial planning. They need well-governed structures that preserve wealth, facilitate succession, and support future generations. Our new regional office enables us to better serve clients across Asia by connecting them with trusted institutional partners and delivering integrated private trust and family office solutions.”

The ceremony also showcased Marvel Capital’s expanding network of strategic institutional partnerships, including the European Credit Investment Bank (ECIB), AEI Capital Group, Northern Global Asset Services Limited, a licensed Hong Kong trustee, Goldman Insurance PCC Ltd., and several newly established strategic partners. Together, these collaborations reflect a shared commitment to delivering internationally aligned wealth planning solutions through an integrated ecosystem encompassing banking, private trust, insurance, and cross-border family office services, underpinned by strong governance, regulatory expertise, and institutional excellence.

Located within the prestigious KL Eco City business district, the new office provides a modern environment for client consultations, strategic planning, and regional collaboration. It will also serve as a platform for professional education, industry engagement, and the continued development of cross-border wealth planning solutions for clients throughout Asia.

Experts say a self-contained, service-led residential format built for multigenerational ownership is emerging at the very top of the market — and that demand for it is rising worldwide.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 August 2026 – Experts in premium residential real estate note that a distinct new category is forming at the top of the market, and that demand for it is rising around the world. Property market specialists describe the emerging tier as the presidence: a self-contained community of private residences bound together by shared infrastructure and anchored by a five-star hotel under an international brand — a format designed to be lived in and passed down across generations, rather than simply owned.

The trend reflects a structural shift in global wealth. According to Knight Frank’s Wealth Report 2026, the number of individuals worth more than US$30 million climbed from 551,435 to 713,626 between 2021 and 2026 — a gain of more than 160,000, equivalent to 89 people crossing that threshold every day. Forbes, meanwhile, records 3,428 billionaires worth a combined US$20.1 trillion.

This wealth is also increasingly mobile. Henley & Partners projects that 165,000 high-net-worth individuals will relocate internationally in 2026 — a 16 per cent rise on the record 142,000 of 2025 — as affluent families build cross-border portfolios of homes and residence rights rather than tying themselves to a single jurisdiction. The appetite for professionally serviced, brand-anchored homes is visible in the development pipeline: Savills reports that the number of branded residential schemes worldwide grew 19 per cent in 2025, to around 910, and is on course to reach 1,747 by 2032, with the Middle East and North Africa the fastest-growing region over the past five years, at 187 per cent.

As the apex of the wealth pyramid rises, specialists say, demand at the very top is moving away from headline price-per-square-foot toward space, privacy, wellbeing, autonomy and a home that can be held and handed down across generations. The case for treating this as a distinct category was set out in a recent column by real estate adviser Ku Swee Yong, CEO of International Property Advisor Pte Ltd and an adjunct faculty member at Singapore Management University, where he teaches Real Estate Investments & Finance.”Luxury residence has a new crown, and it has a name: presidence,” he writes.

According to the expert, a property of this kind should meet several defining criteria: it should occupy an exceptional location among peer residences, be built to the highest standards of quality, provide space, a healthy natural environment, security and self-sufficiency, and create a place where owners and their families can live out every stage of life — building careers, raising children, enjoying leisure, prioritising health and wellbeing, welcoming family and friends, and ultimately passing the home down through generations. Privacy in this case does not mean isolation: rather than retreating behind their own gates, members of the presidence become part of a carefully formed community of peers, surrounded by people with comparable values, interests and ways of life.

These principles are, in practice, being formalised into a fuller set of criteria that distinguish a presidence from a conventional luxury development. At its most complete, the format is defined by:

• A five-star hotel operated by an international brand present in at least three countries, located within the development;
• A single estate of 200 hectares (around 500 acres) or more;
• Full-spectrum infrastructure within one perimeter — indoor and outdoor sport, a central clubhouse, wellness, dining, parks and natural areas, a medical centre, recreation and security, plus a lifestyle anchor such as a golf, equestrian or yacht club;
• A clear separation of public and private zones, with residences kept behind their own multi-layered security perimeter and isolated from guest-facing spaces such as the hotel, restaurants and spa;
• A 24/7 premium service model featuring a dedicated resident care team, concierge services, standardised service-level agreements (SLAs), and a digital platform for managing every household and lifestyle need;
• A unified architectural code governing the style and coherence of every building on the estate;
• An equal-neighbour principle, under which a community of like-minded owners who can enjoy privacy while remaining part of an engaging social environment is formed.

Fully integrated examples remain rare worldwide, and demand, specialists say, is running ahead of supply as the number of ultra-wealthy households continues to grow.
