Date:  29 August 2025

Rangitahi/Molesworth is a nationally important drylands ecosystem with a rich heritage and deep cultural significance. It’s also New Zealand’s largest farm and has a long history of high-country farming.

DOC South Marlborough Operations Manager Stacey Wrenn says staff are currently defining the scope of the opportunity to be offered – which will involve farming but may include other opportunities like guiding or accommodation alongside it.

“This scoping work will safeguard the ecological, recreational and cultural values that make Rangitahi/Molesworth such a special place while ensuring a commercially viable offering.”

Planting pine trees on Rangitahi/Molesworth will not be part of the opportunity.

Iwi and the Molesworth Steering Committee will provide advice to inform development of the expression of interest and competitive allocation process.

The current farming lease, held by Pāmu Farms of New Zealand (Landcorp Farming), expires on 30 June 2026.

Stacey says DOC intends to have the next operator(s) confirmed well before then, to allow for a transition if required.

“We want to acknowledge the great work Pāmu have done as stewards of an iconic New Zealand landscape.”

Stacey says DOC remains committed to the wellbeing and protection of Rangitahi/Molesworth.

“The current lease with Pāmu is under the Land Act and was in place before DOC took over management of the reserve.”

“Any new commercial arrangements on Rangitahi/Molesworth will be under the Conservation Act. This will better recognise the reserve’s ecological, recreation and heritage values and may allow for better public access,” Stacey says.

GWM Hi4 Series: Globally Launched with a Revitalized Look, Empowering Hybrid 4WD Technology with Millennia-Old Wisdom

BAODING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 August 2025 – At the GWM Hi4 Technology Global Launch Event on August 27, 2025, Jack Wey, Chairman of GWM, took the timeless “working in harmony with nature” wisdom of Dujiangyan, a world cultural heritage site, as a starting point to in-depth interpret the engineering philosophy and innovative value of GWM Hi4 technology, which resonated widely across the industry. He opened by highlighting the extraordinary nature of Dujiangyan: “The greatness of Dujiangyan lies in its ability to cope with all situations throughout the year, whether it is drought or flood, high water or low water. It turns the threat of water into a benefit for water conservancy and safeguards people’s livelihoods.”

GWM Hi4 Series: Globally Launched with a Revitalized Look, Empowering Hybrid 4WD Technology with Millennia-Old Wisdom

These words perfectly embody the spiritual core of Hi4 technology R&D — GWM’s Hi4 system draws inspiration from this magnificent water conservancy project with a history of over 2,000 years. Therefore, the brand specially chose this location for the global technology launch event, allowing millennia-old wisdom and modern technology to converge here. The innovation of GWM Hi4 technology shares profound common wisdom with Dujiangyan’s water diversion technique: just as the “Fish Mouth” water-dividing dike of Dujiangyan automatically diverts water into the Inner River and Outer River according to water volume, GWM Hi4 can intelligently distribute power between the engine and dual motors to achieve precise power splitting. Specifically, through its power-splitting system, Hi4 intelligently “diverts” the vehicle’s power: one part is directly used to drive the wheels, converted into traction to support driving; the other part is converted into electrical energy for storage or supply to other vehicle systems, ensuring optimal energy utilization and battery status at all times. This design not only guarantees strong power output but also significantly improves energy efficiency and driving stability. The core wisdom shared by both lies in the “rational allocation and utilization of resources”, guiding power and energy to flow to the most appropriate places, and ultimately forming a more energy-saving and efficient power system.

Jack Wey further emphasized: “We build cars for the users. To put it in a phrase we often use, it is ‘user-centric’. We must approach car manufacturing with the same rigor as water conservancy projects, leaving no room for negligence. That’s why we need to consider extreme weather conditions to make driving safer. Many dangerous scenarios may be like once-in-a-century floods — most people will never encounter them, but if they do, the consequences are catastrophic.” The safety advantage of 4WD vehicles has long been proven. According to statistics from authoritative foreign institutions, the fatality rate of 2WD vehicle accidents is nearly twice that of 4WD vehicles. Therefore, the R&D of Hi4 technology not only covers daily driving scenarios — urban commuting, highway driving, mountainous road conditions, long-distance travel, etc. — but also focuses on “those 1% of extreme situations”. He bluntly stated: “I tell our engineers that developing products is not about piling up technologies; we must keep users in mind. We should build cars the way Dujiangyan was constructed — covering all working conditions, ensuring reliable quality, and standing the test of time!”

As the world’s first intelligent 4WD hybrid technology, Hi4 breaks the convention that “4WD performance must come with high energy consumption” through the aforementioned core design, achieving “4WD experience with 2WD energy consumption”. The hybrid-dedicated engine with 41.5% thermal efficiency and maximum 340kW system power further enhance its energy efficiency and safety advantages. Hi4-equipped models like HAVAL H6, WEY G9, and GWM TANK 300/500/700 are now launching in Australia, Pakistan, South Africa, Malaysia, Thailand, Brazil, Kazakhstan, and more markets to come. Our goal is to make 4WD vehicles accessible to every family. Jack Wey expressed that Dujiangyan Irrigation System is not just a great engineering project; it steeped in profound cultural heritage and embodies an “ecological philosophy” that respects the laws of nature, as well as philosophy of long-termism built on steady progress. GWM consistently prioritizes quality and safety, delivering high-value, highly reliable technologies and products to the global market.

Vietnam’s Global Aspirations on Display at Hanoi’s New Vietnam Exposition Center

By

Source: Media Outreach

The launch of Vietnam Exposition Center has affirmed its status as Hanoi’s newest architectural icon, while also highlighting Vietnam’s rising position on the global map of preferred destinations for global events.

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 August 2025 – People from all over Vietnam flocked to the Center in Đông Anh District to attend the exhibition “80 Years of Independence – Freedom – Happiness.” The event brought Vietnam’s history, its people, and recent achievements to life, drawing tens of thousands of visitors in the opening week.

The Vietnam Exposition Center in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Much of this appeal comes from the Center’s unique role – not only is it the largest facility of its kind in Southeast Asia, covering nearly 90 hectares, but it also stands as a proud symbol of Vietnam, a nation that endured decades of war and hardship yet has risen to remarkable growth throughout this historic journey.

Beyond its impressive scale and modern architecture, the Center embodies Vietnam’s aspirations for international integration and innovation. It signals an openness to hosting world-class conferences, exhibitions, and cultural events – helping fuel Vietnam’s MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) tourism sector and growing cultural industries. Notably, it also carries the mark of Vingroup, the largest private conglomerate in Vietnam, which envisions the Center not only as an iconic landmark, but also as a “bridge” connecting Vietnamese enterprises with the global business community through world-class exhibitions and trade fairs.

The journey to build this modern infrastructure for the capital began with the Prime Minister’s approval in 2015, with the goal of meeting the demand for large-scale events. The site was strategically chosen at the northeastern gateway of Hanoi, providing easy access to Nội Bài International Airport and major transportation routes – making it convenient for both domestic and international guests.

The importance of this location is further underscored by the upcoming launch of the Tu Lien Bridge – a key infrastructure project spanning the Red River – which will provide a fast connection between the city center and the exhibition complex. This will give the Center a major advantage in terms of accessibility, making it a convenient destination for large-scale national and international events.

One distinctive aspect of the project is its blend of tradition and modernity. The Center stands on land closely tied to the ancient Co Loa Citadel, a historic site associated with legends of Vietnam’s founding and defense. In just over 10 months of accelerated construction – cutting the original timeline in half – a striking 24,000-ton steel dome was completed, marking new standards for Vietnam’s construction industry and a spirit of innovation in infrastructure development.

A particular highlight is the Kim Quy Exhibition Hall, with its flowing dome inspired by the legendary “Golden Turtle” (Kim Quy) of Vietnamese folklore. The spiral pattern on the dome, along with expansive plazas, parks, and outdoor exhibition areas, gives the complex a distinctive identity that weaves together tradition and contemporary creativity.

“The sheer scale and modernity of this space convince me that Vietnam is ready to host major international events,” shared a young entrepreneur attending the opening.

Technology products of Vingroup such as VinRobotics and VinMotion at the the exhibition.


A New Engine for Vietnam’s Event Economy

The significance of the Vietnam Exposition Centergoes far beyond symbolism. Its launch aligns with the global rise of the events industry, which is increasingly seen as a powerful driver of economic growth in many countries. According to the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), each dollar spent at exhibitions can generate two to three times that value through related services – accommodation, transportation, trade, and national branding¹.

For example, the 2010 Shanghai World Expo drew 73 million visitors and generated nearly $2 billion in revenue over just six months². Dubai’s Expo 2020 attracted over 24 million visitors, contributed an estimated $42 billion to the UAE economy (2013 to 2042), and created tens of thousands of new jobs³. And the global market for events and exhibitions is forecast to keep growing, reaching an estimated $63.75 billion by 2029⁴.

That Vingroup has invested in and completed an international-standard exhibition center in Đông Anh demonstrates a vision of global integration. This achievement brings Vietnam in line with global trends, drives the growth of creative industries, culture, and high-quality services, and attracts additional international investment.

This project is expected to welcome up to 60 million visitors each year to Hanoi – a hub for entertainment, arts, business, and global networking. The arrival of the Vietnam Exposition Centeris helping Vietnam steadily secure its place on the regional events map, opening a new chapter of development, connection, and integration.

HONG KONG SAR – EQS Newswire – 28 August 2025 – A fully integrated biopharmaceutical company – Uni-Bio Science Group Limited (“Uni-Bio Science”, together with its subsidiaries referred to as the “Group”, stock code: 0690.HK), is pleased to announce its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the “Period”).

Key Accomplishments in the First Half of 2025

During the Period, the Group achieved a spectrum of accomplishments, for both of its marketed products and innovative biologics. The key highlights include:

1. During the Period, the Group delivered solid financial results, with revenue achieved an increase of 13.4% year-on-year (“YoY”) and net profit reaching a record HK$76.0 million, up 12.7% YoY, while EPS increased from HK$0.62 cents in the first half of 2023 to HK$1.27 cents in the first half of 2025, representing a three-year CAGR of 43.1%. The growth this year was driven by the Group’s omnichannel strategy and increasing demand for Bogutai®, along with in the Group’s existing marketed drugs. Meanwhile, the Group strengthened its financial position, with improvements across all key liquidity ratios and overall financial resilience.

2. Since its official launch in March 2024, Bogutai® has steadily built market recognition and sustained growth momentum. Bogutai® has achieved solid progress in clinical uptake and patient enrollment, with over 8,000 new patients and 6,000 returning patients, and establishing a broad and in-depth market network across first- to fourth-tier markets. During the Period, revenue of Bogutai® increased substantially from approximately HK$18.8 million to approximately HK$65.6 million, representing a significant increase of 248.9%.

3. In May 2025, the Group’s second ophthalmology product, 金因康® (Diquafosol Sodium Eye Drops), received marketing approval from the China National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”), marking a significant milestone in expanding the Group’s ophthalmic portfolio.

5. In June 2025, the Group officially launched the high-end series GeneQueens™ of 肌顏態® and the medical device brand 金因敷®, marking a key milestone in its strategic expansion into the integrated “Drug, Medical Device, and Aesthetics” field.

6. During the Period, the Group is refocusing its R&D strategy on regenerative medicine. In particular, the Group is in discussions with leading regenerative medicine research institutions in China to establish industry–academic partnerships in this field, aiming to co-develop innovative therapies leveraging growth factors and regenerative medicine technologies, combining complementary strengths to accelerate research and further strengthen the Group’s leadership in biopharmaceutical innovation.

Interim Results

For the Period, the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$310.2 million, representing an increase of 13.4% YoY. Revenue of Bogutai® increased substantially from approximately HK$18.8 million to approximately HK$65.6 million, representing a significant increase of 248.9%. Revenue generated from GeneTime® was approximately HK$107.8 million, representing an increase of 18.1% YoY. GeneSoft® recorded a mild decrease in revenue to approximately HK$18.5 million, representing a decrease of 2.1% YoY. Currently, the Group is preparing for GeneSoft® entry into medical insurance coverage, aiming for inclusion by the end of 2025, and providing a strong catalyst for future growth. Pinup® recorded a decrease of 22.7% in revenue to approximately HK$108.9 million for the Period. The Group was re-selected for the centralized procurement in 2024, with a validity period of two years. However, in response to certain local policy changes, the Group adopted a more selective approach to hospital supply. Hospitals in many provinces began procuring Boshutai® in 2025. Revenue from Boshutai® was approximately HK$6.1 million, representing a significant increase of 84.8%.

Gross profit was approximately HK$254.1 million, representing an increase of 10.2% YoY, whereas gross profit margin was 81.9% (first half of 2024:84.3%). The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to the recent addition of Bogutai®, which is still in the early stages of commercialization and had a relatively low output volume, resulting in higher product costs. Profit for the Period surged from approximately HK$67.4 million in the first half of 2024 to approximately HK$76.0 million, representing an increase of 12.7%. This result reflects the effectiveness of the Group’s strategic focus on operational efficiency, disciplined cost control, and targeted commercial execution, reinforcing its trajectory toward sustained profit growth and long-term value creation. The earnings per share reached approximately HK$1.27 cents, reflecting a growth of 16.5% YoY.

Prospects

China’s medical device industry is expected to grow at an 8.9% CAGR from 2023 to 2030, fueled by rising chronic diseases and innovation investment. Government policies like “Made in China 2025” and the 2025 “Measures to Support High-Quality Development of Innovative Drugs” promote drug innovation, expanded insurance, faster approvals, and prioritize key therapies, including pediatric, chronic, and infectious diseases. National procurement now favors innovation over price, supporting sustainable healthcare growth. Leveraging advanced synthetic biology, the Group is well-positioned to seize these opportunities and advance regenerative therapies in orthopedics, ophthalmology, dermatology, and medical aesthetics.

Looking forward, Mr. Kingsley Leung, Chairman of Uni-Bio Science said, “We are committed to pursuing a diversification strategy to ensure sustainability by driving product innovation and expanding marketing channels and geographical presence. During the Period, we achieved notable breakthroughs in our product portfolio. We received marketing approval of our new ophthalmology product, 金因康®, and antifungal product, isavuconazonium sulfoate capsules. Our medical aesthetic products also experienced a major launch with the introduction of the high-end GeneQueens™ series, along with a new medical device brand, 金因敷®.

We have implemented omnichannel strategies to broaden our customer base beyond traditional hospital networks. Our direct sales team works closely with multiple-tier hospitals, while our own flagship stores are established on all major Chinese online sales platforms. We will continue to grow our online presence and expand our distributor network to support offline marketing. Internationally, we are focusing on markets such as the U.S., Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Our FDA application for Bogutai® is progressing, with approval expected as early as 2027, targeting it as our first overseas commercial product.

During the Period, we further re-focused our R&D strategy in regenerative medicine. To enhance our core strengths and enter advanced therapies, we established two cutting-edge R&D platforms: the ECO-KSFA® Mini-protein Superfactory, which enables large-scale production of complex-structured polypeptides while significantly reducing costs; and the Biological Hydrogel Technology Platform, designed to incorporate active molecules such as growth factors for enhanced tissue engineering repair. These platforms form the basis of our R&D and will boost our product innovation.”

SHENZHEN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 August 2025 – On the morning of August 27, “Qianhai Block V” was officially launched with the presence of representatives from various sectors in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. As the latest landmark for international talent innovation in Qianhai, Shenzhen, “Qianhai Block V” is rapidly emerging as an international talent hub that integrates the “innovation chain, industry chain, capital chain, and talent chain”. It is also propelling Qianhai to become a “golden stage” for talent to realize their dreams. By offering latest policy consultations, an easy access to optimal venture capital resources, and the most precise job matching, it will greatly support Shenzhen in building the best technology innovation ecosystem and talent development environment.

Qianhai Block V

With the further optimization of its supporting infrastructure and policies, Qianhai vividly demonstrates how to break down administrative barriers with the “service cycle” and attract talent through “hardcore policies”. By fulfilling its promise of “no red tape, only red carpet”, today’s Qianhai has become a “preferred gateway” for international talent to integrate into the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA).

“It’s incredibly efficient! There’s no need to run between multiple departments. The entire process from seeking consultation to completing the paperwork was much smoother than I expected.” After experiencing the one-stop services at Qianhai International Talent Hub, American blogger Alysa Kees, known as “Qi Shiwen” in China, shared her feelings with overseas audiences on camera.

Qianhai Block V

In Qianhai, the “one-stop convenience” that Qi Shiwen experienced has long permeated every aspect of talent services. The international talent hub has integrated 700 services covering the full spectrum of employment, entrepreneurship, and living. There are dedicated counters for foreign talent to apply for work permits and for Hong Kong and Macao residents to consult on cross-border living matters. Furthermore, through the “In Qianhai” smart digital platform, overseas individuals can schedule visa appointments and access policies online in advance. By entering their career direction and living preferences, users can receive instant, tailored recommendations on suitable companies, housing, and subsidies. This makes talent services truly within reach, thus realizing a talent ecosystem at their fingertips.

The latest data reveals that Qianhai is currently home to over 3,000 foreign professionals, more than 5,000 foreign residents and over 51,000 holders of postgraduate degrees or higher. With a total of 660,000 professionals engaging in modern services and industrial technology sectors, Qianhai has been a growing magnet for talent.

Convenient living amenities are a key reason why numerous professionals choose to stay in Qianhai. To address cross-border living needs, Qianhai has introduced thoughtful initiatives: Hong Kong residents can use their local e-wallets directly for frequent daily spending scenarios without switching payment methods; cross-border salary payments are processed with a single click, eliminating repeated bank verification and significantly improving the efficiency of financial transactions. Beyond daily transactions and financial matters, family-related needs have also been carefully considered. To accommodate the educational plans of different families, multiple international schools offer curricula from kindergarten to high school. In terms of healthcare, Hong Kong-style medical institutions provide familiar consultation models and language services, thus ensuring a smoother transition for cross-border living.

Through the “Strive and Rise Programme”, Hong Kong is actively positioning Qianhai as a preferred destination for its youth entrepreneurs so as to deepen cross-border cooperation. In August, 160 middle school students from Hong Kong visited the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Innovation and Entrepreneur Hub (E-hub) and Tencent Technology Innovation Workshop. While experiencing AI technology firsthand, they gained an in-depth understanding of relevant policies, such as “RMB 1 for office space” and “special fund for technology innovation” and the entrepreneurial advantages offered by Qianhai.

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 August 2025 – Mr. GaoMinghui, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Protus Group, was recently honored with an invitation to attend the 80th Anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day, hosted by the Embassy of Vietnam in Singapore. The ceremony was held with great solemnity, bringing together a distinguished gathering of leaders from politics, business, and various other fields. The celebration served not only as a moment to reflect on Vietnam’s remarkable 80-year journey of nation-building and progress, but also as an opportunity to share the nation’s vision and aspirations for continued growth and a stronger presence on the global stage

Established in 2013 and headquartered in Singapore, Protus Group has been a pioneer in building efficient and sustainable international supply chain solutions, with global transaction volumes surpassing USD 20 billion. In 2024, Protus Group entered a strategic joint venture with Sunwah Group (Hong Kong), marking a new chapter in the exploration and development of modern international supply chain models.

Vietnam, a strategic link in Protus Group’s global network, has been part of the company’s footprint since 2021. To date, Protus has partnered with dozens of enterprises across sectors such as petrochemicals, paper packaging, agricultural processing, medical consumables, non-ferrous metals, and consumer goods. With financial support exceeding USD 30 million, Protus not only provides funding solutions but also helps Vietnamese businesses overcome key bottlenecks, from raw material procurement and credit term support to cross-border settlement and market expansion.

Throughout its journey with local partners, Protus has supported business growth and helped upgrade entire industries by fostering market leaders. One example is a major agricultural processor in Kon Tum, which, with Protus’s support, overcame challenges like limited raw material access and long payment cycles. As a result, the company achieved a fivefold revenue increase in one year, a strong testament to local industry transformation.

At the event, Mr. Gao stated, “We can provide tailored supply chain solutions for Vietnamese enterprises to support industry upgrading and regional economic development. Moreover, we hope to work hand in hand with Vietnam to build and share, jointly embracing greater opportunities in the future.”

Protus’s invitation to the 80th Anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day recognized its achievements and reaffirmed its commitment to a long-term partnership with Vietnam. Looking ahead, Protus will continue taking concrete actions to boost Vietnamese enterprises and contribute to regional prosperity.
