香港，2025年9月29日 - (亚太商訊) - 港股矿产资源板块近期表现强劲，除了受惠于金价、铜价因减息周期、印度尼西亚大型铜矿停产而创出新高带动外，还有备受市场瞩目的紫金矿业（02899.HK）旗下紫金黄金国际分拆上市的炽热招股反应。市传紫金黄金国际公开发售股份录得孖展超购逾190倍，冻资近4800亿港元。此次全球发售还吸引了包括新加坡政府投资公司（GIC）、高瓴资本在内的超豪华基石投资者阵容。摩根士丹利、瑞银等一众国际投行因应目前市场情况已分别再度调升金价及铜价预测，并对未来的黃金、铜的价格维持上行走势表示乐观。从现货黄金市场表现来看，9月26日亚市早盘时段现货黄金于3739.08美元/盎司附近高位震荡，一度达3757.14美元/盎司，创下新历史高点。而上海期货交易所(SHFE)最活跃的铜期货合约同日亦上涨0.32%，至每吨82420元人民币(约11678.3美元)。紫金黄金国际的IPO热潮与黄金、铜等价格的持续新高，为港股市场上的矿业股表现提供了绝佳的时间窗口。在聚焦板块机会、挖掘潜力标的的过程中，一间尚未被充分关注的企业--比优集团（09893.HK），其潜藏的"含'金'量"正值得深挖。作为港股市场稀缺的"矿山+民爆"概念，比优集团通过差异化经营优势，正逐步进入投资者的视野。其中，集团核心资产--安徽金鼎矿山，依托成熟的提金工艺和稳定的产能，正在成为公司业绩的重要支撑。2025全年财报数据显示，安徽金鼎共生产含金泥约850公斤，含金量约20%，折合纯金产量约170公斤。铜金共生资源亦十分亮眼，2024全年开采77.9万吨铜金矿，平均金品位0.66g/t，铜金精矿加工产出1.91万吨，平均金品位显著提升至16.75g/t，为黄金产能的持续释放奠定了坚实基础。随着金、铜板块关注度的不断提升，兼具独特商业模式与清晰成长路径的比优集团，正迎来价值重估的关键窗口。板块东风已至，价值重估正当时作为港股市场中唯一的民用爆破上市公司，公司已构建起"民爆+矿山"垂直一体化业务格局。2025财年，公司实现营业额16.96亿元人民币，同比增长24.09%；股东应占溢利1.64亿元，同比增长25.20%。在矿业板块热度提升的背景下，此类业务独特、赛道专精的企业更易获得流动性溢价与估值重塑的机会。值得注意的是，比优集团于2025年2月18日成功由创业板转至主板，成为港交所"简化转板机制"实施后的首个案例。这一转变不仅是市场认同度提升的变更，更是公司治理结构、信息披露透明度与投资者基础的一次全面升级。随着国际机构投资者的基础扩大，比优集团自加入主板后，股价取得良好的涨幅。国际股票交易及投资信息平台Simply Wall Street 9月15日发表的《Undervalued Small Caps With Insider Buying In Global For September 2025》文章将公司评选为全球十大被低估的中小盘股，较合理估值存在约42%的折让空间。比优集团引起国际投资机构的注意，除业绩佳、增长潜力大以外，公司的发展策略紧密契合国家政策与区域经济脉络亦是投资价值重点所在。在国内，安徽金鼎项目的产能持续释放，并于2023年入选首批安徽省级绿色矿山企业。同时，西藏天仁项目已于2025年1月获西藏自治区发改委核准，预计2026年底投产；海外业务方面，公司自2017年布局塔吉克斯坦市场，已成为当地最大民爆生产商。这种深耕本土+出海双线布局，合理分散了区域风险。安徽金鼎矿--稳健的"产能压舱石"值得留意的是，根据年报披露，安徽金鼎项目持有黄屯硫铁矿与铜金多金属矿的采矿权，采矿许可证于2016年3月颁发，2043年8月才到期，并可依规延期。2025财年(截至3月31日)数据显示，安徽金鼎项目经营状况稳健，盈利水平持续提升，收入已占总收入近半，成为集团稳定发展的坚实支点。据了解，安徽金鼎的15万吨/年硫精矿焙砂提金选矿技术改造工程项目经一年多的试运行后，相关产能进一步释放。2024财年该项目已实现黄金回收约170公斤；截至2025年1-8月，累计黄金产量已达150公斤，产能持续稳定释放。安徽金鼎凭借稳定的黄金产能、成熟的提金工艺及充足的资源储备，将继续发挥"压舱石"的作用，为集团业绩增长提供坚实保障。2025财年，安徽金鼎项目共生产矿石96.09万吨，其中铜金矿77.91万吨，平均品位金0.66 g/t、铜0.39%；硫铁矿8.11万吨，平均品位硫19.57%、金0.29 g/t；磁铁矿10.08万吨，平均品位铁20.98%、金0.34 g/t。展现出强劲的产能兑现能力。根据John Boyd Mining Consulting(Beijing)Company Limited（"博德"）审核数据，截至2025年3月31日，安徽金鼎西区金铜矿探明资源量900万吨、推断资源量220万吨。矿石储量方面，西区金铜矿概略储量772万吨，东区硫铁矿概略储量657万吨。充裕的资源储备为产能的长期稳定释放提供了坚实保障。排产计划显示，2026-2035年间，安徽金鼎年矿石产量将基本维持在100万吨水平，其中铜金矿石占比约82%，黄金品位维持在0.67-1.04 g/t区间，保证了黄金产出的连续性与稳定性。与此同时，还要留意其铜、硫铁等的输出，尤其在国际铜价保持在高位运行的预期下，安徽金鼎的利润有望持续提升。来源：公司财报从业绩贡献来看，安徽金鼎矿业项目已然成为比优集团利润增长的核心引擎。过去三年，收入实现跨越式增长，从2亿元快速攀升至8.33亿元，年复合增长率超过60%，收入占比已与集团传统民爆业务相当。同时，安徽金鼎"采矿-选矿-提金"的产业链与集团民爆业务形成协同效应--民爆产品为采矿环节提供爆破支持，有效降低运营成本，进一步强化盈利韧性，持续为集团贡献稳定收益。在国际贵金属价格狂飙，紫金黄金赴港上市所引领的板块"东风"之下，比优集团已具备价值重估的多重催化剂。当下，市场资金开始系统性资金配置于估值落后的黄金资源与工业金属股，这类治理完善、业务可见性强、且具备明确成长路径的中小型企业，有望成为下一阶段资金挖掘的重点目标。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

SINGAPORE, Sept 27, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Academic Labs, the team building the first Universal Database of Knowledge for decentralized autonomous learning, has secured a strategic investment from Evergreen Profits.The announcement follows the recent listing of Academic Labs’ native token, $AAX, on Biconomy—an inflection point that broadens liquidity and participation while aligning incentives across developers, contributors, and institutional partners.What is Academic Labs?Academic Labs is architecting a transparent, interoperable knowledge layer where AI agents can autonomously learn, verify, and teach skills.By combining gamified learning, DAO-based governance, and data interoperability, the project aims to create a consensus-driven intelligence substrate that is open, verifiable, and portable across ecosystems.Since launching its MVP in January 2024, Academic Labs has seen rapid adoption—200,000 videos and challenges completed in the first month—alongside notable community and institutional engagement through hackathons and courses at QS Top 50 universities. Its Project Education initiative now supports over 20 ecosystems and reaches more than two million people worldwide.On the market front, the project recorded over $6M in first-day trading volume on Gate and completed BGA’s light incubation program under Bybit.Strategic Timing: Post-$AAX Biconomy ListingThe timing of Evergreen Profits’ investment is strategically significant. With $AAX newly listed on Biconomy, Academic Labs gains distribution that can anchor real utility: staking for curation and quality assurance, contributor rewards for challenge creation and validation, and governance participation in how the Universal Knowledge Graph is expanded and audited.Investor Fit and ComplementarityEvergreen Profits’ thesis-driven approach—built on adapting to cyclical market regimes—complements this next phase by emphasizing operational discipline, risk-aware growth, and standards that support long-term composability. Their portfolio experience across AI, data, and Web3 is expected to inform Academic Labs’ interoperability roadmap and agent-facing APIs.The investment will be directed toward three priorities.First, deepening the core protocol: advancing the Universal Knowledge Graph, extending agent APIs, and implementing on-chain verifiable credentials for proof-of-skill.Second, strengthening governance and incentives: refining DAO mechanisms for reputation, staking, and curation to ensure that knowledge ingestion and validation are transparent, auditable, and resistant to manipulation.Third, accelerating ecosystem growth: expanding university partnerships, developer programs, and cross-chain integrations so that content supply, challenge design, and agent training data scale in tandem with quality controls.What distinguishes this partnership is its emphasis on verifiability and portability. In an environment increasingly shaped by agentic AI, the bottleneck is not model capacity but trustworthy, structured knowledge and the signals that govern its use.By coupling $AAX’s broadened liquidity with Evergreen Profits’ cycle-aware capital and operational guidance, Academic Labs aims to turn raw educational content into an on-chain, consensus-curated knowledge asset that AI agents can query, learn from, and contribute back to—while users retain visibility into provenance and incentives.About Academic LabsAcademic Labs is building the 1st Universal Database of Knowledge that empowers decentralized autonomous learning for AI agents that assist users in acquiring skills and knowledge, fostering consensus-based intelligence for all of human society. Through gamification, DAOs, and data interoperability, we offer a limitless, transparent, and personalized channel for sharing and learning various skills.Trade AAX: https://www.biconomy.com/exchange/AAX_USDTSocial LinksX: https://x.com/Acad_LabsTelegram Group: https://t.me/academic_labsLinktree: https://linktr.ee/academic_labsDiscord: https://discord.gg/academic-labsMedia ContactBrand: Academic LabsContact: Media teamWebsite: https://acad.live Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Sep 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The recent Presidential Proclamation from the White House, instituting a substantial one-time fee of US$100,000 for new H-1B visa holders entering the United States, has created uncertainty for employers and professionals navigating the global talent market. While the policy aims to incentivize domestic hiring, it also accelerates the need for cost-effective and compliant international workforce solutions. Galaxy Payroll Group Limited (Nasdaq: GLXG) ("Galaxy" or the "Company"), a leading global payroll provider in the Asia-Pacific region, is committed to helping companies navigate these changes with its specialized suite of services.Rising Demand for EOR and International Payroll ServicesThe new regulation significantly increases the cost and complexity of relocating international talent to the U.S. In response, multinational corporations, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups with limited budgets, are expected to seek alternative deployment models to maintain access to a global talent pool without incurring prohibitive expenses.To circumvent the hefty fee and intricate visa processes, businesses are increasingly likely to adopt remote hiring models, engaging talent directly in their home countries. This shift drives demand for Employer of Record (EOR) and international payroll outsourcing services, which allow companies to legally employ staff abroad without establishing a local entity."This policy has created challenges for employers and workers alike," said Mr. Wai Hong Lao, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Our expertise in payroll outsourcing and employment services across Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, and Mainland China in the Asia-Pacific region positions us to help companies navigate these changes and ensure full compliance with local regulations."Enhanced Capabilities with Stablecoin SettlementsGalaxy Payroll Group has further enhanced its service offerings by supporting payroll settlements in stablecoins. This innovative payment method provides companies with a more efficient, transparent, and cost-effective solution for managing cross-border payroll, especially for remote employees. By leveraging stablecoins, Galaxy Payroll Group helps companies reduce the risks associated with currency fluctuations and streamline their international payroll processes.Accelerated Adoption of Integrated Payroll TechnologyAs companies build more distributed teams, the need for streamlined, transparent, and efficient cross-border payroll management becomes critical. Galaxy Payroll Group’s focused technological solutions are designed to simplify multi-jurisdiction payroll processing, tax calculations, and compliance reporting within its operational regions. This capability aligns perfectly with the growing need to manage dispersed teams effectively, making integrated payroll technology a necessity rather than a luxury.Broad Market Opportunity for All U.S. EmployersThe new policy presents significant challenges for companies of all sizes, from SMEs to large multinational corporations like Microsoft, which employ a large number of H-1B visa holders. Galaxy Payroll Group’s comprehensive suite of services, including EOR, international payroll outsourcing, and stablecoin settlements, offers scalable and flexible solutions tailored to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes. By leveraging these services, companies can continue to access skilled professionals globally, ensuring they remain competitive in the international talent market."Our services are designed to support companies across the spectrum, from SMEs to large multinational corporations," Mr. Lao noted. "By leveraging our EOR and payroll services, these companies can continue to access skilled professionals globally, ensuring they remain competitive in the international talent market."Galaxy Payroll Group is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for efficient, compliant, and cost-effective international workforce management solutions.

Therefore, we offer a wide range of services, including land, rail, and water transport; cold storage; general warehousing; and international freight forwarding, to meet the logistics needs of customers in each country and to ship goods from Singapore to Malaysia, the Philippines, or Indonesia," Mr Bunn said.Mr. Charvanin Bunditkitsada, Co-CEO of SCGJWD, stated that the 'CLMV + China' markets are strategically important for SCGJWD's cold storage business, with a broad market base covering both domestic consumption and import-export markets. This collaboration enables SCGJWD to connect and enhance its cross-border transportation services for temperature-controlled goods and general goods on the Thailand-ASEAN-China route. This has also led SCGJWD to adapt its transportation models and routes, including providing cross-border transportation services from other countries to Cambodia during the border closure period.SCGJWD, in collaboration with its partner RMA, has expanded its cold storage warehouse in Cambodia by 1,200 m2, bringing the total floor area to 3,400 m2, with an investment of US$550,000 (approximately 17.5 million baht). Recently, the Company partnered with Express Food Group (EFG), Cambodia's major operator of food chain franchises, including The Pizza Company, Dairy Queen, and Swensen's, to import and transport cooking equipment from Thailand to Cambodia. The Company offered a solution during border closure by adjusting the transportation route through Laos and Vietnam to Cambodia, as well as by sea routes. Furthermore, the Company provided services to 'TOUS les JOURS', a customer of EFG, to transport baking ingredients from Vietnam to its 6-7 branches in Cambodia. The Company also plans to expand its logistics services through a collaboration with its Vietnamese partner Transimex, which is a comprehensive end-to-end logistics provider, to supply temperature-controlled freight services for BigC.SCGJWD's goal is to make cold storage and temperature-controlled transportation a core growth driver, which aligns with the overall projection of the cold storage business in ASEAN from 2022 to 2027. A good example is Indonesia, whose total cold storage market is expected to increase by nearly 80%, from US$6.9 to US$12.5 billion. The Philippines' market is likewise expected to increase by 46.5% from US$5 to US$7.4 billion. Malaysia's market is expected to increase by 29.5% from US$1.836 to US$2.377 billion, and Singapore's market is forecast to increase by 25.6 percent from US$829 million to US$1.041 billion, while Vietnam's market is projected to increase by 47.2% from US$4.3 to US$6.4 billion, and Thailand's market is expected to increase by 38.7% from US$3.4 to US$4.7 billion.In Thailand, SCGJWD is currently expanding its investment in ten cold storage warehouses in six provinces, covering strategic industrial areas of Samut Sakhon, Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani, Chachoengsao, and Saraburi, as well as the northern province of Chiang Mai, with a combined floor area of over 160,000 square meters, able to support over 100,000 tons of goods or 240,000 pallets. Plans are also afoot to expand investment in Surat Thani and Khon Kaen provinces to increase service potential to ultimately cover all regions of Thailand.For more information, please visit https://www.scgjwd.com/en Press release by MT Multimedia Co Ltd for SCGJWD Logistics PCL.For more information, please contact:Thiyaporn Sriadunphan (Dah)Tel: +66 87 556 6974E-mail: thiyaporn.s@mtmultimedia.comAbout SCGJWD Logistics PCL (SET: SJWD)SCGJWD Logistics PCL was created when SCG Logistics Management Co Ltd and JWD InfoLogistics PCL, two leading logistics and supply chain service providers at the ASEAN level, together announced a merger deal on Oct 24, 2022, to become the largest Integrated Logistics and Supply Chains Solutions Provider in ASEAN.

LONDON, Sept 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A new life cycle assessment of 31 dry dog foods in the UK reveals that plant-based diets consistently outperform meat-based alternatives across every major environmental measure. Conducted by University of Nottingham veterinary researchers Rebecca Brociek and Professor David Gardner, and published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, the study underscores a major opportunity for pet owners and the pet food industry to shrink their ecological "pawprint."Key ResultsGreenhouse gas emissions: Plant-based foods produced just 2.82 kg CO₂-eq per 1,000 kcal, compared to 31.47 kg for beef-based formulas - over ten times higher.Land use: Plant-based diets required 2.73 m² per 1,000 kcal, versus 102.15 m² for beef-based products.Water use: Plant-based options consumed 249 L of freshwater per 1,000 kcal, far less than beef (575 L) or lamb (684 L).Nutrient and acidification pollution: Beef-based diets generated 14-16 times more acidifying and eutrophying emissions respectively, than plant-based equivalents.Middle ground: Poultry-based and semi-synthetic veterinary formulas had lower impacts than red meat, but still much higher than plant-based foods.Over a typical nine-year lifespan, feeding a 20 kg Labrador exclusively on plant-based dry food would require 8,964 m² of land and emit greenhouse gases equal to 2.8 London-New York return flights. The same dog fed on beef-based food would need 334,851 m² of land and emit the equivalent of 31.3 such flights.Why It MattersWith pet ownership on the rise worldwide and demand for pet foods increasing, the environmental impact of animal-based ingredients can no longer be overlooked. The researchers conclude that increasing plant-based ingredients in pet diets provides a practical and scalable way to reduce land use, emissions, nutrient pollution, and water stress - without compromising caloric value.They note, "feeding your dog plant-based will significantly improve a households' environmentally sustainability", and that, "… lower-impact pet food ingredients will be essential in reducing the [pet food] sector's ecological paw print."While some suggest that using meat by-products like ‘meat meals' is more sustainable, the study found these often ranked among the highest-impact ingredients, failing to bridge the gap.Broader ContextThis work supports earlier research. In 2023, veterinary professor Andrew Knight demonstrated that switching pet dogs worldwide to nutritionally sound vegan diets could save greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 1.5 times the UK's annual output, while providing enough food energy to feed 450 million people, equivalent to the EU population. By late 2025, at least 11 peer-reviewed studies had also shown positive health outcomes for dogs fed plant-based diets.As Prof. Knight explained, "Higher proportions of plant-based ingredients, or nutritionally complete plant-based diets, can substantially reduce the ecological footprints of companion animals. As awareness grows, such diets may shift from niche to mainstream - aligning our care for pets with responsibility for the planet."Contact InformationAndrew KnightVeterinary Professor of Animal Welfareandrew.knight@murdoch.edu.au+44 7577 899 61SOURCE: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

PALO ALTO, CA, Sept 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Nanofiber Quantum Technologies, Inc. (NanoQT), a quantum computing company pioneering ultra-low-loss nanofiber cavity-QED interconnects for quantum processors, today announced the first closing of its $14 million Series A financing. Phoenix Venture Partners (PVP), an existing investor, led the round with participation from Brevan Howard Macro Venture Fund, a new investor. WASEDA University Ventures, Inc. (WUV), JAFCO Group Co Ltd, Mirai Creation Fund III (SPARX Asset Management Co., Ltd.), and Keio Innovation Initiative, Inc. (KII), each existing investors, also participated.NanoQT’s Proprietary Nanofiber-CavityThe financing follows more than US$20 million in government R&D grants across Japan and the United States that support NanoQT's roadmap. "An interconnect engineered for QPUs is the missing link in today's market and will soon be a major bottleneck to achieving scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing," said Masashi Hirose, Ph.D., CEO and Co-Founder of NanoQT. "Our proprietary nanofiber-cavity interconnect is highly demanded not only for scaling up quantum computing but also for integrating QPUs with quantum communication capabilities.""We are delighted to continue supporting NanoQT's breakthrough," said Nobi Kambe, Ph.D., Managing General Partner at Phoenix Venture Partners (PVP). "NanoQT has demonstrated steady R&D progress, and we believe the company will deliver a disruptive impact in the quantum computing and networking field." "NanoQT is the best positioned in the quantum field to disrupt interconnects."Why It MattersThe quantum interconnect is an emerging, critical device class-essential not only for modularizing quantum processors but also for extending them into networked and communication-enabled systems. NanoQT's approach is an ultra-low-loss nanofiber cavity that functions as an end-to-end fiber-optic interconnect, enabling extremely efficient conversion of qubit signals into photonic signals-a capability fundamentally grounded in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED).NanoQT's initial product is highly engineered for neutral-atom QPUs, which today represent one of the most scalable quantum computing architectures. Yet these systems will face per-unit scalability limits within a few years. NanoQT's interconnect provides a path beyond those limits, while also positioning the company to address the emerging quantum repeater market, which is essential for building long-distance quantum networks.Use of Proceeds and Next MilestonesDemonstration of a distributed quantum computing system using NanoQT's interconnect and standard fiber linksProductization of the nanofiber cavity-QED interconnect for neutral-atom QPUsExpansion of engineering and manufacturing capacity in College Park, Maryland, and TokyoAbout NanoQTNanoQT is a quantum-hardware company building ultra-low-loss nanofiber cavity-QED interconnects that physically integrate with quantum processors to enable modular and networked quantum computing as well as compatibility with quantum communication.

Key Takeaways:WORK Medical has formed a new alliance with the Hong Kong Web3.0 Standardization Association and was appointed as the organization’s “council vice chairman.”The company has also entered into a collaboration with Ruijin Hospital’s Wuxi Branch to accelerate the development of a next-generation, AI-driven smart clinical ecosystemHONG KONG, Sep 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong kicked off a new era in its embrace of virtual assets on Aug. 1 with the official launch of a regulatory and licensing framework for virtual currencies known as stablecoins. A steady stream of Chinese companies has begun experimenting in the city with virtual assets and their underlying blockchain technology since then, covering a wide range of industries.Medical products seller WORK Medical Technology Group Ltd. (WOK.US) became the latest to join that parade, as it unveiled a major new initiative to explore real world asset (RWA) tokenization and related blockchain technology in a partnership with the Hong Kong Web3.0 Standardization Association, which promotes the high-quality development of the global Web3.0 industry through standardization research and efforts.The deal comes just over a year after WORK Medical listed on the Nasdaq, and is part of the company’s evolving “Healthcare + Payment + Technology = RWA + Web3 + AI” strategy. WORK Medical also plans to strategically collaborate with one or more qualified firms from the financial sector, which would provide a key compliance channel for its asset tokenization ambitions.Tokenized RWA, or real-world assets with value that have been digitalized, is projected to surge to over $50 billion by the end of this year, according to a report published in May by digital currency market-making firm Keyrock and tokenization platform Centrifuge. The report also pointed out that tokenized RWA will be dominated by U.S. treasuries, whose value alone will push the sector size to over $28 billion. Three areas for collaborationWORK Medical laid out three main areas for collaboration with its new Hong Kong partner. The first area involves the tokenization of “high-quality assets owned or invested in by WORK Medical,” the company said. It pointed out it can leverage both its status as a Nasdaq-listed company, as well as its expertise and assets related to its medical device business, including AI healthcare assets. It wasn’t more specific, but assets it could probably tokenize might include its receivables, investment products and intellectual property.The second area WORK Medical’s new partnership will explore is equity investments, which could include co-investments or participation in funds and other financial vehicles to accelerate its move into RWA for potential tokenization and achieve shared strategic goals.The third area involves development of RWA technology, which would leverage the Hong Kong Web30 Association’s recently launched RWA registration platform. That platform facilitates collaboration on a range of related functions, including blockchain-based title verification, asset issuance, and cross-chain transactions, while ensuring regulatory compliance and asset security.The company’s recent activities indicate it is already accumulating the expertise to develop and manage such assets. In February, it announced a partnership with another medical device company that included the potential establishment of “joint investment funds to align industrial and financial resources.” It said that partnership could also involve investment in healthcare infrastructure, development of advanced technologies and global acquisitions.WORK Medical’s new partnership puts it at the head of a nascent but rapidly growing wave of Chinese companies looking for new business opportunities in the fast-emerging business of digitalized RWAs. Any company owning or possessing rights to RWAs, both their own and assets owned by others, can technically enter the space.Building smart clinical ecosystemOn Monday, WORK Medical also announced another new partnership with the Wuxi Branch of the Ruijin Hospital-Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Under the partnership, WORK Medical will support Xin Rui Hospital’s efforts to advance hospital informatization. It will also assist in efforts to integrate AI with the hospital’s multimodal medical data, such as text, imaging, and lab results.https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/09/22/3153945/0/en/WORK-Medical-Technology-Group-LTD-Partners-with-Wuxi-Branch-of-Ruijin-Hospital-Shanghai-Jiao-Tong-University-School-of-Medicine-to-Develop-AI-Applications-in-Healthcare.htmlThe two sides plan to enhance WORK Medical’s multimodal AI solutions from single-image to complex data types by leveraging Xin Rui Hospital’s clinical and expert resources. The collaboration aims to develop AI models for diverse healthcare scenarios, establishing a framework for data governance, model training, and clinical translation. WORK Medical Chairman and CEO Wu Shuang said the two new partnerships – with the Hong Kong Web3.0 Standardization Association for RWA innovation and with Xin Rui Hospital for AI-driven healthcare – are strategic moves aimed at unlocking new growth avenues and building long-term value.The company’s inaugural annual earnings report for its fiscal year through September 2024, issued earlier this year, also contains hints that it was dabbling in financial markets, not only through its IPO but also through other investing activities, in the year before its listing.https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/work-medical-technology-group-ltd-reports-financial-results-for-fiscal-year-2024-302377075.htmlWORK Medical’s new alliance could take it in a completely new direction from its core business of producing and selling masks and other medical products like artery compression tourniquets. As the Covid pandemic receded and demand for masks declined, leading to falling prices, the company’s revenue from its mask business fell 69% in its fiscal year through September 2024 to $1.6 million from $5.1 million the previous year. That was partly offset by an 18% increase in its revenue for other medical devices, which rose to $9.4 million from $8 million.Its latest financial report also shows that WORK Medical has engaged in commodities trading, which generated $400,000 in income in its latest fiscal year through September 2024. The company also derived a sizable $15.7 million in cash from financing activities for the fiscal year, up sharply from a year earlier and greater than the $11.5 million in revenue it generated from sales of its core medical products for the year.In the finance sector, supply chain financier Linklogis late last month also formed a partnership with XRP Ledger, the organization overseeing the ripple cryptocurrency, aimed at exploring the digitalization and tokenization of RWA.Source: The Bamboo WorksBy Doug Young Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
