香港, 2025年1月9日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 随着AI技术的不断成熟与落地，其在医疗行业的应用正重塑传统医疗模式，并逐渐被视为提升医疗服务效率和质量的关键。近日，美高域集团有限公司（1985.HK，以下简称'美高域（Microware）'）与盖睿科技（GAREA TECH）在香港携手展开合作，旨在通过先进的AI技术赋能基层医疗，回应香港特区政府的「基层医疗健康蓝图」计划，实现AI技术在医疗领域的深度融合和创新应用，此次双方合作，有望为香港的基层医疗带来创新的数字化解决方案。作为香港信息科技行业的领导者之一，美高域成立已达40年历史，每年服务2000+客户，服务香港前百大上市公司中60%的企业，为80个政府单位提供服务。多年来，美高域以科技服务为基石，致力于将人工智能技术与实际应用场景深度融合，推动技术与业务的协同创新，为企业注入新活力。近年来，美高域集团加大在人工智能解决方案和基础设施研发的投资，并自研新一代企业级AI生产力平台，不断推动AI、5G、大数据与物联网技术在智慧教育、医疗、政府及智能制造等多个行业的深度融合与创新应用。美高域集团致力于实现'塑造人工智能赋能的未来'。通过此次与盖睿科技建立战略合作伙伴关系，将进一步加速其愿景的实现。盖睿科技是全球领先的数字基础医疗整体解决方案提供商，致力于基础医疗数字化转型与智慧健康服务的创新，其在基层医疗体系建设、家庭医生签约、智慧社区和远程医疗等领域的全方位解决方案，进一步推动了技术与基础医疗的深度融合，同时为分级诊疗与健康中国战略的实施贡献力量。本次合作，不仅为未来双方在医疗数字化和AI领域的协作奠定坚实基石，更是助推香港医疗体系步入数字化新时代、实现革新的重要标识。香港基层医疗资源的不足和分布不均一直是亟待解决的问题，资料显示，2023年度公立医院分别流失281名医生及1821名护士，过去3个年，有1032名全职医生非退休离职，全职护士非退休离职则有6049人。医护人员的短缺与流失问题，进一步加剧了当前香港医疗体系的负担。特别是面临人口老龄化和慢性疾病患者激增的双重考验，优化策略显得尤为关键。近期香港特区政府推出的《基层医疗健康蓝图》再度回应了市民对于高质量医疗服务的需求，也标志着智慧医疗的发展正成为香港医疗革新的关键引擎。针对香港基层医疗的痛点，AI技术的深度融合与创新应用显得尤为关键。本次合作专注于通过AI技术推动医疗行业的数字化转型和智能化升级，搭建医生与患者之间流畅的沟通管道，提升诊疗效率。美高域集团凭借其先进的多语种实时语音转录和翻译技术，将大幅减轻医生在病历记录和患者沟通上的工作负担，使医生能更专注于诊断和治疗工作，同时，可以减轻患者在问诊时面临的语言沟通障碍。依托于盖睿科技的移动医疗产品，如健康检测一体机，为患者提供了更便捷的健康检查和慢性病管理方式，AI技术的运用不仅优化了医疗服务流程，也提升了患者的就医体验，尤其在提升诊断精确度和个性化治疗方案方面显示出巨大潜力，这不仅能够提升医疗服务的质量和效率，还能够推动医疗资源的均质化，实现更广泛的健康关怀。这无疑将推动香港医疗服务模式的革新，美高域集团与盖睿科技此次通过整合各自的技术优势，共同构建一个更高效、更智能化的医疗服务体系，将助力香港医疗服务模式创新转型驶入快车道。此次合作的成功实施，不仅是对香港基层医疗服务的提升，也是对粤港澳大湾区乃至更广泛区域医疗合作的示范，将为区域医疗合作提供宝贵的经验和模式。展望未来，美高域集团董事会主席王广波表示，'集团将持续深化技术应用，拓展跨行业和跨区域的覆盖面，我们坚信，随着合作的深入，我们能够为香港乃至全球的医疗健康领域带来革命性的变化，让更多人享受到由人工智能赋能的优质医疗服务，共同迈向一个更加智能、更加健康的未来。'美高域集团有限公司（Microware Group Limited）成立于1985年，并于2017年在香港联合交易所主板上市 ( 股票代码：1985.HK）。历经四十年的发展，美高域集团已成为香港信息科技行业（'IT')的领导者之一。美高域集团在IT与人工智能（'AI'）领域拥有深厚的技术积淀，具备强大的技术研发能力和创新实力，以此为基础不断推动AI技术的边界拓宽和产业升级。通过将AI技术与具体应用场景相结合，美高域集团能够为各行业提供智能化、高效化的解决方案，业务涵盖智慧医疗、智算中心等前沿科技产业。美高域集团正积极策划高性能异构智算平台，并自主研发语音与语言处理技术，提供企业级AI生产力工具及服务方案，推动人工智能的多元行业应用模式。为客户提供人工智能一站式解决方案，推动AI技术的创新与融合应用，引领行业发展趋势，开启AI技术新篇章。盖睿科技（GAREA TECH）：盖睿科技是一家专业从事移动医疗产品研发、销售、增值业务管理及运营的高新技术企业，致力于移动医疗产品及业务模式的创新，突破人们对传统医疗服务模式的依赖，提升医疗资源的服务质量和效率。自成立以来，依托出色的医疗产品研发能力和移动互联网领域深厚的技术储备，在基层分级诊疗业务、个人健康管理服务两大医疗健康服务领域里，成功构建了健康跟踪、慢病管理、远程医疗服务等综合医疗、健康管理服务解决方案，目前已成为国内领先的移动医疗解决方案提供商。如有垂询，请联络慧悦公共关系顾问集团有限公司：Terence Xu / Collins Ke电话：（852）93462934 / (86) 18602019578电邮：weiqiang.xu@intelligentjoy.com / Collins.ke@intelligentjoy.com Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

香港, 2025年1月8日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近日，粤港澳大湾区Robotaxi发展又有新动态。12月27日，南沙、横琴、前海、宝安共同签署了《智慧网联汽车示范应用试点互认合作框架协议》。4地将率先合作构建大湾区智慧网联汽车示范应用试点互认路径，推动智慧网联汽车示范区互联互通和开放共享。首批试点互认的合作企业包括如祺出行等4家企业，并在签约仪式上获授牌，意味着这4家企业在大湾区开展Robotaxi业务将获得更有力的政策支持和服务，可为其进一步扩大运营规模创造条件。从行业来看，11月至今中国智驾领域的公司动作频频，为即将到来的Robotaxi大规模商业化落地做着各种前置准备。小马智行先后与北汽新能源、广汽埃安就L4无人驾驶车型开发量产建立合作；百度Robotaxi获得香港批出的首张路测执照；文远知行与Uber合作计划将Robotaxi落地到阿联酋。光大证券研报称，Robotaxi作为自动驾驶商业化落地终极模式，接下来在中国将迎来高速增长阶段，预计2030年国内Robotaxi市场规模可达390亿美元，2025-2030年年复合增长率约达200%。'金三角'成Robotaxi主流发展模式业内分析认为，中国在Robotaxi商业化落地上已呈现出全球领先优势。除了政策和技术的推动因素外，在一定程度上也得益于行业在发展早期就形成'专业分工+深度合作绑定'的共识，采取'主机厂+自动驾驶公司+出行平台'的金三角模式，实现量产、技术研发和运营协同合作优势互补。据了解，早在2021年左右，国内就形成了'广汽集团-如祺出行-小马智行/文远知行'、'上汽集团-享道出行-Momenta'等多个合作阵营。而两年后的2023年10月，Uber也宣布与Waymo、捷豹合作，正式开启'金三角'合作模式，随后合作阵容不断扩大。华鑫证券认为，各国Robotaxi商业化发展路径正逐步趋同，除了特斯拉等个别企业外，更多公司转向'金三角'模式，预计合作、合资或会在Robotaxi未来一段相当长的时间内成为主流运营模式。事实上，对整个智驾产业链来说，生态合作已成为近年重要议题之一。在地平线、如祺出行、文远知行、小马智行等多家公司在IPO招股书中，均表示通过扩大产业生态合作持续推进其技术和服务商业化落地。其中，以今年7月登陆港交所的如祺出行为例，其IPO招股书显示，股东阵容包括广汽、小马智行、文远知行和滴滴自动驾驶。而其他正在IPO路上的出行平台如享道出行等，股东名单同样不乏主机厂和智驾技术公司。出行平台已成为产业链上下游积极团结的对象之一。有长期关注Robotaxi市场的分析人士认为，Robotaxi本质是出行服务，在运营环节有望诞生一到两家核心玩家，像如祺出行这样有主机厂和智驾公司双重加持、且已开始Robotaxi布局的公司或能获得先发优势。而目前，如祺出行Robotaxi服务已覆盖广州南沙、深圳宝安、南山和横琴粤澳深度合作区。数据已为智驾产业必争资源出行平台成为智驾公司积极合作的对象，背后还有一个重要推动因素 - 数据。随着端到端大模型技术应用，自动驾驶技术获得也获得突破性发展，随之进入数据驱动阶段，数据成为了驱动技术持续迭代最重要的养料。智驾公司要持续提升数据规模，比起投入大量资源扩大自有数据采集车队，与已布局Robotaxi、拥有大量运营车辆的出行平台合作，似乎是更显著的选择。以如祺出行为例，该平台在大湾区用户渗透率超过45%，且已有自动驾驶技术商业化落地场景及路测数据。2024年6月，如祺出行成为全国首批获准开展L3自动驾驶上路通行试点。不久前的广州车展上，如祺出行重点发布了基于自动驾驶运营优势和自动驾驶数据解决方案构建的数据闭环飞轮，包括如祺Robotaxi运营落地进展，以及如祺众源地图、4D标注等技术、工具及解决方案的最新成果。今年以来，受智驾技术进入端到端大模型时代、自动驾驶价值空间扩大等因素带动，AI、大模型、数据要素、Robotaxi、车路云等板块持续受到全球市场关注。关于如祺出行科技有限公司如祺出行是中国的出行服务公司，服务并连接出行行业的各类参与者，包括乘客、司机、整车制造商、车辆服务提供商及自动驾驶解决方案供应商。公司提供(i)出行服务（包括网约车、Robotaxi及顺风车服务）；(ii)技术服务，主要为AI数据及模型解决方案以及高精地图；及(iii)为司机及运力加盟商提供全套支援的车队销售及维修。公司由广汽集团和腾讯联合发起创立，其后引入一家自动驾驶解决方案供应商小马智行作为战略股东。通过连接汽车制造商、互联网公司和自动驾驶解决方案供应商，公司是推动自动驾驶技术商业化的先行者。多元化背景的股东提升了公司的市场洞察力并增进公司对整个出行服务行业价值链上主要利益相关方的了解，从而使得公司能够整合汽车和出行服务行业的资源。本新闻稿由皓天财经集团有限公司代表如祺出行科技有限公司发布详情垂询：皓天财经集团有限公司Angie Li & Jason Lai电话：(852) 6150 8598 / (852) 9798 0715电邮：projectrice@wsfg.hk Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

SEATTLE, WA, Jan 8, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In just a few short years, the next seismic shift in the global economy could come from a technology that’s still unfamiliar to most: quantum computing.Sean Brehm, founder and CEO of CrowdPoint Technologies, believes quantum computing is poised to become the foundation of the modern economy. Speaking on Yahoo Finance’s Warrior Money podcast with hosts Patrick Murphy and Dan Kunze, Brehm emphasizes the profound implications of quantum innovation. “The company that dominates quantum computing will influence the global economy for the next 100 years,” Brehm declares. “At least 50 years.”At its core, quantum computing harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems far faster than classical computers ever could. But beyond speed, it’s the technology’s potential to redefine industries—ranging from finance and healthcare to national security—that positions it as a game-changer.Brehm offers a compelling analogy to illustrate the importance of this shift. “What the average investor needs to know is the difference between data and information,” he explains. “Data, like oil, is just a dead lumpy dinosaur. Until it’s refined by some petroleum engineers, it just stays data… The whole purpose for quantum is to surface information faster from the data.”In this quantum-driven future, data processing will transcend its current limitations, fundamentally transforming how businesses and governments extract actionable insights. “When you get into quantum space, you’ll be able to have a conversation with the data and be able to get your answers sooner, faster, and more intelligible,” Brehm adds.Brehm likens the current stage of quantum computing to the early days of the internet in the 1990s. Back then, many struggled to grasp the potential of the World Wide Web—until it exploded into the mainstream, creating unprecedented opportunities for investors who were ahead of the curve. He warns that the same pattern is unfolding now with quantum technology. “Overnight, things are going to change,” Brehm says. “History is repeating itself.”For investors, this is a wake-up call. Quantum computing isn’t just another technological trend—it’s the foundation for a new era of global innovation. And for those who hesitate, Brehm suggests, the regret of missing out may mirror the feelings of those who ignored the early internet boom.Beyond investment opportunities, quantum computing also offers a unique avenue for professionals with adaptive mindsets. Drawing from his own experience as a former airborne ranger qualified infantry officer, Brehm highlights why military veterans are particularly suited for careers in quantum technology.“The hardest part about this is you constantly have to learn because it’s evolving so fast,” Brehm explains. “That’s why I think military officers are going to excel in this environment—because it is evolving, and we’re used to evolving.”Brehm’s insights underscore the urgency for action—not just from investors, but from innovators, entrepreneurs, and policymakers alike. The rapid evolution of quantum technology is already reshaping capital markets, providing fertile ground for startups to thrive.In his discussion with Murphy and Kunze, Brehm paints a compelling vision of the quantum future. The question is not whether quantum computing will transform the global economy—it’s how soon, and who will lead the charge.Sean Michael Brehm is a trailblazing entrepreneur, Texas-based tech visionary, and strategic leader with over 25 years of experience spanning defense, intelligence, and technology. As the Chairman and & CEO of CrowdPoint Technologies and Chairman of Spectral Capital (Symbol: FCCN), Brehm spearheads innovation in Quantum as a Service (QaaS), guiding the incubation of quantum-era solutions that empower individuals and enterprises to safeguard their digital identities. A staunch advocate for decentralized technology, Brehm combines a rugged individualist spirit with cutting-edge expertise to tackle global challenges and reimagine the principles of the Buttonwood Agreement for the digital age.About Spectral Capital CorporationFounded in 2000 and based in Seattle, Washington, Spectral Capital (OTCQB:FCCN) is a technology startup accelerator and quantum incubator.

As the region’s first major international financial conference in 2025, the forum will examine the landscape for new business opportunities in various industries and regions in the coming year and promote global cooperation, and is expected to attract more than 3,600 finance and business heavyweights.Themed “Powering the Next Growth Engine”, the AFF will bring together more than 100 global policymakers, business leaders, financial experts and investors, entrepreneurs, tech companies and economists to share their views on the shifting global economic landscape and financial ecosystem. These industry experts will dissect the risk management strategy, discover new business opportunities, and explore how Hong Kong can seek breakthroughs in a period of change.First flagship financial event to showcase Hong Kong's financial strengthsLaunched in 2007, the AFF has become a flagship financial event for Hong Kong and the broader region, highlighting the city's pivotal role as a globally renowned financial hub with a highly competitive economic and business environment. Amid a rapidly changing global macroeconomic landscape, and shifts in geopolitical dynamics and monetary policies, Hong Kong's financial services sector continues to leverage its strengths across various domains, drawing on its world-class business infrastructure and robust regulatory regime to help drive cooperation and mutual success across Asia and around the world.Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the HKSAR Government, said: “Hong Kong’s financial market went through a lot of reforms and innovation last year. We have also launched a roadmap on sustainability disclosure in Hong Kong and issued a policy statement on responsible application of artificial intelligence in the financial market with a view to boosting green finance and sustainable financing. The upcoming Asian Financial Forum will gather the top-tier of the financial and various sectors from all around the world, the Mainland and in Hong Kong and hence is the perfect occasion for us to showcase to the world the new momentum and latest advantages of Hong Kong in the financial realm. Participants will also have a chance to learn more about how Hong Kong can partner with them to explore new collaborations and development areas while expanding their network here.”Luanne Lim, Chairperson of the AFF Steering Committee and Chief Executive Officer, Hong Kong, of HSBC, said: "The global economy faces greater uncertainties in 2025 compared to 2024. However, robust growth in India and ASEAN nations, combined with increased policy support from Mainland China, is expected to keep Asia’s (ex-Japan) GDP growth at a strong 4.4%, well above the global average of 2.7%.” Against this backdrop, this year’s Asia Financial Forum is aptly themed “Powering the Next Growth Engine” and will focus on high-potential markets such as ASEAN, the Middle East (particularly the Gulf Cooperation Council countries), and the role that Hong Kong can play. Ms Lim said Hong Kong's unique role as a bridge between the mainland and international markets allows it to support mainland enterprises expanding globally. She added that Hong Kong is committed to attracting global talent and investors, driving growth for both mainland and international businesses.Patrick Lau, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director, said: “As we move into the new year, different economies around the world are facing challenges in maintaining economic growth. As an international financial centre, Hong Kong is playing an important role both as a ‘super-connector’ and a ‘super value-adder’ to link the world, enabling investors and fundraisers to leverage the city’s professional services and investment platforms to facilitate collaboration and create business opportunities. This year's forum not only brings together heavyweight speakers and thought leaders but also builds on the success of previous years to provide a business platform for international participants, promoting financial and business cooperation and working together to launch new engines for growth.”Exploring new trends as the world’s economic centre of gravity continues its shift eastReflecting on a trend where the world's economic centre of gravity continues to take an eastward shift, Christopher Hui will host two plenary sessions on emerging prospects in the region on the first day of the forum (13 January). The morning session of Plenary Session I will feature H.E. Adylbek Kasymaliev, Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan, finance ministers from countries such as Pakistan and Luxembourg, and Yoshiki Takeuchi, Deputy Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), who together will explore the financial policy outlook for 2025. In the afternoon, Plenary Session II will bring together leaders from multilateral organisations to share their views on the role of multilateral cooperation in regional economic development. Speakers will include Roberta Casali, Vice-President, Finance and Risk Management, Asian Development Bank; Jin Liqun, President and Chair of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB); and Satvinder Singh, Deputy Secretary-General for ASEAN Economic Community, Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Moreover, a new session, the Gulf Cooperation Council Chapter, will bring together HE Jasem Mohamed AlBudaiwi, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), speakers from the Middle East and local experts to discuss prospects in fostering financial cooperation and investment between the member states of the GCC and Hong Kong.Also on the first day, Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, will host the Policy Dialogue session with speakers including European representatives such as Philip Lane, Chief Economist and Member of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank, and Dr Olli Rehn, Governor of the Bank of Finland. The discussion will explore the opportunities and challenges arising from the global shift towards more accommodative monetary policies and national authorities’ strategic deployment of measures to revitalise their economies and accelerate growth through innovation.The panel discussion on China Opportunities returns this year with senior figures invited to analyse investment prospects under China’s commitment to technological innovation and its impact on global business. The panellists included Li Yimei, Chief Executive Officer of China Asset Management; and Ken Wong, Executive Vice President of Lenovo and President of Lenovo Solutions & Services Group.Top economist and leading AI expert take the stage at keynote luncheonsAnother highlight of this year’s AFF will be the two keynote luncheons featuring thematic speeches by two distinguished guests: Prof Justin Lin Yifu, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of the World Bank (2008-2012), and Prof Stuart Russell, Co-chair of the World Economic Forum Council on AI. These two prominent figures will dissect the evolution of the global economic landscape amid changing international dynamics, and examine how artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a new driving force for rapid global economic growth respectively.Exploring hot topics in the financial and economic sectorsThe afternoon panel discussion, Global Economic Outlook, will feature a special address from Liu Haoling, Vice Chairman, President and Chief Investment Officer, China Investment Corporation. The panel will analyse international economic trends and provide insights into business opportunities and wealth accumulation in emerging industries and regions in 2025.Other sessions titled Global Spectrum, Dialogues for Tomorrow and Thematic Workshop will feature in-depth discussions focusing on the latest industry trends, including AI, Web 3.0, sustainability, philanthropy and family offices. As AI becomes increasingly widespread and diversified in its societal applications, the second day of the forum will introduce a special session, Dialogue with Kai-Fu Lee, in which Dr Kai-Fu Lee, Chairman of Sinovation Ventures, will discuss the transformative power of AI and its impact on technological advancements in the global business ecosystem.Exploring the impact of sustainable disclosure on investment strategiesSustainable finance and environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations have become an irreversible global trend. In 2025, Hong Kong is set to fully align its regulatory framework with the sustainability disclosure standard of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). Sue Lloyd, Vice Chair of the ISSB, will join other experts in discussing how adopting international financial sustainability disclosure standards can strengthen market confidence in Hong Kong's capital markets, address post-COP29 implementation in Asia, and share strategies for sustainable investing across three separate sessions. In addition, the Breakfast Panel on the second day will focus on the flows of transition finance in shaping a sustainable future in the Greater Bay Area and beyond. Furthermore, the HKTDC has partnered with EY to conduct a joint market survey on sustainable development, aiming to explore the views and practices of Asian businesses and investors on topics such as sustainability reporting, sustainable finance and preparations for dealing with climate change. The results of the survey will be unveiled on the first day of the forum.Expanding cross-border opportunities through the HK global investment platformAs a key element of this year’s forum, AFF Deal-making offers one-on-one matching services for project owners and investors.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA & MUMBAI, Jan 7, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CleverTap, the all-in-one customer engagement platform, has published a report on the top five trends that will shape the marketing and customer engagement space in 2025. It provides an analysis of the future of the customer engagement and retention landscape, offering insights into the strategies companies are expected to adopt in the upcoming year.With the initial euphoria of GenAI waning out in just a year, organizations are in the midst of conversations about its tangible business value and outcomes. As AI transitions from being a disruptor to an enabler in 2025, here are some key customer engagement and retention trends that are sure to make an impact in 2025.1. From Push to Pull: Generative AI-driven Wave of Customer InteractionsWith GenAI’s mass adoption in 2024, communication has moved from brand-led to customer-led. Industries saw a shift in their customers using queries as their primary medium to interact with the brand. 2025 will further solidify this trend from brand-driven click and swipe-based interactions (push) to user-driven, prompt-based dynamic, conversational experiences (pull) powered by GenAI. While the number of touchpoints for marketers will be reduced, the quality of exchange will become more important once businesses understand how to optimize it. The rise of GenAI will continue to bring high efficiency, enabling brands to gain real-time insights and feedback, and empowering them to make swift improvements.2. Personalization vs Privacy: Navigating a Balanced ApproachPersonalization is the norm for marketers. However, for today’s customers, hyper-personalisation only works when executed contextually and transparently. Marketers therefore will have to take a privacy-first approach while crafting meaningful experiences. Moving forward, investment in mechanisms for first-party and zero-party data collection will be vital, along with strict adherence to privacy regulations. By prioritizing transparency and safeguarding user data, businesses can foster deeper trust and loyalty among their customers.3. Martech’s Evolution from a Fixed Tech Stack to a Living CartographyThe Martech landscape is changing rapidly to meet new demands and most businesses still operate with rigid and fragmented tech stacks consisting of traditional siloed tools. This poses a challenge for marketers as the failure of one tool can create a domino effect causing problems in the entire stack. To address this, the concept of "living cartography" holds immense promise. Unlike traditional stacks, this concept envisions a dynamic, interconnected ecosystem where tools adapt and evolve in real-time. This approach fosters seamless data exchange and reduces the risk of system-wide failures by minimizing dependencies across tools. For marketers, this shift means greater agility in meeting the growing demand of ever-changing customer preferences. 4. The Rise of AI AgentsAI agents are the next evolution in the AI landscape, poised to grow significantly this year. Their value lies in the ability to act beyond basic response mechanisms, driving smarter interactions. Companies will focus on AI agent functionalities to analyze real-time sentiments and tailor recommendations for customers while also providing 24/7 multi-lingual support. From a business standpoint, the use case will include boosting operational efficiency and improving decision-making. Eventually, we will see AI clones of marketers for processes like customer support, and sales interactions. AI copilots will enable businesses to get a competitive edge by automating tasks and optimizing workflows.5. Customer Retention over Acquisition The current economic and geopolitical situation alongside a shift in customer priorities has exacerbated the challenge of acquiring new customers, making the process more expensive as well. Companies have recognized the value of customer loyalty as opposed to the “growth at any cost” outlook and the industry is now focussing on customer retention as a strategic priority. In addition to hyper-personalization, brands will continue to innovate their loyalty programs and incentives to meet customer expectations. Anand Jain, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, CleverTap said, “AI's promise in marketing will truly come alive in 2025 – where it will transition from being a mere disruptor to a trusted enabler, unlocking authentic, customer-driven engagement. As brands navigate this new paradigm, success will come down to building genuine connections and striking a healthy balance between personalization and privacy, all while staying adaptable in the face of customer demands. At CleverTap, we remain committed to guiding businesses through these shifts, empowering them to advance their capabilities and drive meaningful, enduring customer relationships.”Click here to download the report, The Customer Engagement Crystal Ball: Top Trends to Watch Out for in 2025.About CleverTapCleverTap is the leading all-in-one customer engagement platform that helps brands unlock limitless customer lifetime value.

These include:- Digitised products: Many traditional toy and game manufacturers and brands are integrating electronics and new technologies with toys to enhance playability, such as the Dynamie Pixel Piano (Booth: 1E-C02), Upset Dog (Booth: 1C-F02), and the NASA Spirit Rover (Booth: 1C-F33).- Learning and play combined: In the hope that kids can learn while having fun, many parents choose toys that can improve cognitive, social, intellectual, and aesthetic development. As a result, there is a greater demand for educational and intellectual products, such as the Giant Panda Anatomy Model (Booth: 1D-C12), Adventure Globe (Booth: 1E-A02), Children's Play Sofa (Booth: 3F-G04), and Water Transfer Painting Set (Booth: 5B-B01).- Demand for sustainable products: As sustainable consumption has grown, more parents are inclined to choose eco-friendly toys to reduce their environmental impact. Examples include straw DIY marble run blocks (Booth: 1C-D02) and the Voices of Nature series of puzzles (Booth: 1D-A08).- Cross-age groups products: There is a growing popularity of toy designs and styles that cater to a wide range of age groups. Toys are no longer just for children; adults and even elderly are collecting toys, making the collectibles market a significant part of the toy industry. The Astro Boy Mechanical Clear Version (Booth: 1D-A26) is one example. The fair is actively developing the ageing market as well. For instance, a Hong Kong exhibitor has designed a wall game suitable for both the elderly and children, where the user must rotate cogs with both hands, and the vibrant visual stimulus helps to enhance concentration and left-right brain coordination (Booth: 1D-D22).Exhibition space growth in multiple zones at the Toys & Games FairToys & Games Fair saw an expansion in exhibition space in two major zones.

SEATTLE, WA, Jan 6, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Spectral Capital Corporation (OTCQB: FCCN), a pioneer in Quantum as a Service (QaaS) computing and decentralized cloud infrastructure, is pleased to announce the achievement of a major patent milestone as the first step in its plan to become a globally competitive leader in quantum computing patents."According to the World Intellectual Property Organization ("WIPO"), there were 350,000 patents filed worldwide in classical computing. Analysts estimate there are less than 40,000 patent applications that have ever been filed in quantum computing. This tells us that there is an enormous opportunity to innovate and protect innovation within quantum computing. We intend to compete hard to assert US intellectual property dominance within the quantum computing space," said Spectral chairman Sean Michael Brehm."As of today, Spectral will have filed 61 patents in the field of quantum computing. We intend to file a total of 104 patents in quantum computing by the end of January 2025, completing the initial patent filing from our acquisition of the Vogon Cloud technology. With the acquisition of Verdant Quantum and Quantomo combined with the innovations being championed by Dr. Wolf Kohn, Dr. Moshik Cohen and Chairman Sean Brehm, we have committed to filing more than 500 patent applications by the close of 2025," said Spectral's Chief Executive Officer, Jenifer Osterwalder. "According to the leading source of patent filings worldwide, The Patent 300 List, Nvidia had 464 patents issued in 2023. To be a global top 100 company in patents requires around 450 patents issued. Spectral intends to have 500 filings by the end of 2025, but these will be concentrated in quantum computing and hybrid computing. This will make us a global intellectual property leader in the field. Our innovations run the gamut, from unique methods to use synthetic data and Monte Carlo simulations to reduce quantum computing errors to novel approaches to the commoditization of cyber security in the quantum era. Spectral is proud to contribute important innovations that can help to maintain US dominance in this strategically critical domain. These patents secure our deep quantum technology platform, encompassing decentralized cloud, computing, advanced quantum algorithms, quantum databases, and room-temperature quantum chips," concluded Brehm.About Spectral Capital CorporationFounded in 2000 and based in Seattle, Washington, Spectral Capital (OTCQB:FCCN) is a technology startup accelerator and quantum incubator. We specialize in Quantum as a Service (QaaS), leveraging our proprietary Distributed Quantum Ledger Database technology (DQ-LDB) to offer secure, advanced storage and computing solutions.For more information, please visit www.spectralcapital.com.Forward-Looking StatementsThis press release contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) concerning future events and FCCN's growth and business strategy.

SINGAPORE, Jan 3, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - People often associate the end of the year as a time to wind down, slow down and get into the New Year celebration mood – but surprisingly, around the world, research has shown that stress levels actually increases during the holiday season, with year-end work deadlines, last-minute shopping, loneliness, and increased travel commitments as a large contribution to the additional pressure. With 87% of Singaporeans already experiencing high stress levels throughout the year, the number spikes further as the close of the year creeps in.In the post-pandemic era, research has proven that there is an intrinsic link between stress, immune function, and vulnerability to illnesses. The higher stress one faces on a day-to-day basis, the weaker the immune function becomes. Increased social interactions, feasting and late nights also causes a strain on the immunity and overall well-being of individuals.For example, the prevalence of leisure sickness, falling ill during or immediately after vacations, has been the focus of many researchers – why do people fall sick after a holiday break? Leisure sickness is caused by a combination of chronic stress, disrupted routines, and exposure to pathogens unfamiliar to the body from foreign lands, which have been shown to leave individuals with a weakened immune system, further underscoring the need for immune support during the holidays.In light of the holiday season, LAC (pronounced as L-A-C), is dedicated to maintaining optimal stress and immunity levels among individuals, to allow them to fully enjoy and immerse themselves in the season of giving with its TriAction C 1000 - Timed-Release and its best-seller, LAC Masquelier’s French Pine Bark Extract.LAC TriAction C 1000 - Timed-Release is formulated to support the immune system and help mitigate the effects of stress and seasonal flu. Packed with a revolutionary Vitamin C formula, the advanced timed-release technology ensures that individuals receive the right amount of Vitamin C, enhancing vitality and fortifying the immune system to stay strong and healthy.Stress-induced free radicals can significantly weaken the immune system and damage cells in the body.
