Announcing the results of the 42nd Hong Kong Watch and Clock Design Competition

HONG KONG, Sep 15, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 44th HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and the 13th Salon de TIME, jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association Limited, and The Federation of Hong Kong Watch Trades & Industries Limited, closed their doors on 6 September after attracting some 16,000 trade buyers from 95 countries and regions. One of the highlights of the two fairs was the 42nd Hong Kong Watch and Clock Design Competition with winning and shortlisted entries on display together with an awards ceremony at the event stage.Over the years, the Hong Kong Watch and Clock Design Competition has consistently worked to raise the quality of watch and clock design in Hong Kong by encouraging innovation and creativity. At the same time, by enhancing its exhibition offerings, it aims to boost sales of Hong Kong-made watches and clocks both domestically and internationally.This year’s competition featured an Open Group and a Student Group, themed “Memorable” and “Believe in Yourself”, respectively. “Memorable” invited participants to express their feelings about unforgettable people by capturing those emotions in their watch designs. In contrast, “Believe in Yourself” encouraged designers to showcase confidence, perseverance, and courage in pursuing dreams and achieving goals through their creations.This year's competition received an enthusiastic response, with 116 entries. The judging panel consisted of eight representatives from the watch and clock industry, along with guest judge, celebrity Bowie Cheung, who selected the winners, first and second runners-up, and merit award winners in both groups.Open Group entries break with tradition, offering playful design elementsThe winner of the Open Group is “FREEZE”, designed by Tam Kwok Tung and sponsored by Wincy Horological Ltd. Tam’s design was inspired by his father who always had half of his face covered by the camera when taking pictures for him. The dial centres on a camera lens creating a layout that breaks from tradition. The right window displays the watch’s movement, while the left window features gears which drive the hands.The first runner-up is “RB_ROBO”, designed by Wong Ting Bong and sponsored by Youngs Watch Company Limited and Po Fai Precision Company Limited. Inspired by toy robots, the design conveys the idea that “adults can still preserve their childlike innocence”.The second runner-up, “Backtrack”, was designed by Oro Time Limited. It incorporates elements such as “game consoles”, “VHS tapes”, and “vinyl records”, allowing the watch to become a playful, Y2K-inspired fashion accessory by swapping out different “game cartridges”.Watch Design by student group reflects on elements of successThe Student Group category is open to full-time students registered at schools in Hong Kong and aims to recognise and promote talented young designers through the competition. The winning piece, “Aspire”, was designed by Chan Tsz Ying, who studies at the Hong Kong Design Institute. In this watch, moving beads symbolise courageous and confident goal-chasing, while still beads signify moments of reflection.The first runner-up is Lee Yuet Tung Eudora from Good Hope School. Her creation, “Believe in Yourself”, features the words “Love”, “Hope”, and “Faith” printed on the outer ring of the watch, highlighting these three crucial guides to achieving success and overcoming challenges.The second runner-up, titled “Broken Stars in the Ripples”, was designed by Yip Yuen Sze Christine from the Hong Kong Design Institute. The watch features ripple patterns on its surface and uses a star as the hour hand, conveying the message “Even if life has ups and downs, it is still full of hope”.This year, the Made-to-Sell Award continued to be a part of the event, with a judging panel comprising eight veteran watch manufacturers and Stephen Liang, former Assistant Executive Director of HKTDC. The judges select one work from the Student Group which they consider to have strong market potential. The award was once again won by the winner, Chan Tsz Ying of the Hong Kong Design Institute for her design, “Aspire”. The Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association Limited and The Federation of Hong Kong Watch Trades & Industries Limited will put her award-winning design into production and release it for sale at the HKTDC Design Gallery.Photo download: http://bit.ly/4n9MgRQFREEZE: Open Group winner of the 42nd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design CompetitionRB_ROBO: Open Group first runner-up of the 42nd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design CompetitionBacktrack: Open Group second runner-up of the 42nd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design CompetitionAspire: Student Group winner and the Made-to-Sell Award of the 42nd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design CompetitionBelieve in Yourself: Student Group first runner-up of the 42nd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design CompetitionBroken Stars in the Ripples: Student Group second runner-up of the 42nd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design CompetitionThe 42nd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design Competition featured Open Group and Student Group category winners.

TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES 成功开发出可在300度的低温下使用的高性能钯合金氢透过膜 ACN Newswire

TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES 成功开发出可在300度的低温下使用的高性能钯合金氢透过膜

东京, 2025年9月12日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 专注于工业用贵金属展开业务的TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.(总公司:东京都中央区、执行总裁:田中 浩一朗)宣布,成功开发出了可在300℃左右的低温范围使用的钯(Pd)合金氢透过膜。本产品的特点是在保持高氢透过性能的同时,实现了更低的使用温度,相较于以往产品更具优势。本产品的样品预计将于2025年9月15日起开始提供。此外,该成果将于2025年9月17日至19日,在北海道大学举行的公益社团法人日本金属学会“2025年秋季(第177届)演讲大会”上进行学会发表。钯合金氢透过膜(PdCu39)在PdCu类合金膜中,PdCu40(钯含量率为60%,铜含量率为40%的合金)被认为拥有更高的氢透过性能。然而,要利用PdCu40提纯氢气,需要在400℃左右的高温下进行使用。TANAKA聚焦于PdCu氢透过膜中的钯含量比例,成功地利用PdCu39(钯含量率为61%,铜含量率为39%的合金)发挥出了PdCu类氢透过膜的最大性能。迄今为止,人们尚未认识到PdCu39更高的氢透过能力。这是因为即使混有较为少量的fcc相(※1),也会导致氢透过性能显著下降,而将其完全转化为bcc相(※2)则非常困难。但此次,TANAKA凭借其在贵金属材料领域长期积累的研发经验和技术洞察,确立了一种创新性的热处理工艺,,可以获得完全的bcc相,从而实现了本产品的商品化。利用钯类氢透过膜的氢气选透机制随着近年来氢提纯相关技术的不断进展,市场对在比以往更低温度下反应的氢透过金属膜的需求正在增加。传统的高纯度氢气提纯方式,通常是利用内置氢透过膜的模块来提纯由甲醇水生成的氢气。然而,在此过程中,由甲醇水生成氢时的温度在300℃左右,而现有氢透过膜在400℃以上的高温下才能展现其性能,因此需要额外配置加热设备,这不仅提高了成本,同时,加热环境中产生的杂质气体也成为一个必须应对的重要技术课题。本产品可在约300℃的低温下实现氢气提纯,因此无需额外的加热设备,比以往更能抑制设备的氧化。此外,还可望有助于降低电力和CO2等能源成本。本产品的特长可在300℃左右的低温下高效发挥性能通过实现完全的bcc相结构,而具备有更高的氢透过性能无针孔缺陷无需追加加热设备,有效减少加热过程中的设备氧化问题与其他技术相比,可期实现氢气提纯设备的小型化PdCu合金的Pd/Cu比率与氢透过性能@300℃氢透过性能的温度依赖性由PdCu39的热处理条件造成的bcc相/fcc相比率的差异对应范围(评价用的试制样表)板厚板宽形状最薄达10µmT最宽达120mm薄片状(方、圆等)(※1)fcc相:是指具有面心立方晶格结构(face centered cubic)的金属相。(※2)bcc相:是指具有体心立方晶格结构(body centered cubic)的金属相。关于TANAKATANAKA自1885 年(明治18年)创业以来,营业范围以贵金属为中心,并以此展开广泛活动。公司在日本国内拥有非常可观的贵金属交易量, 长年以来不遗余力地进行工业用贵金属制品的制造和销售,以及提供作为宝石饰品及资产的贵金属商品。并且,作为贵金属相关的专家集团,日本国内外的各集团公司进行制造、销售以及技术一体化,携手合作提供产品及服务。2024年度(截至2024年12月)集团总营业额为8,469亿日元,拥有5,591名员工。产业事业全球网站https://www.tanaka.com.cn产品咨询表TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.https://www.tanaka.com.cn/inquiries-on-industrial-products/新闻媒体咨询处TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL GROUP Co., Ltd.https://www.tanaka.com.cn/inquiries-for-media/新闻稿: https://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/files/20250912_CH.pdf Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Among Migrating Nurses, Survey Shows High Satisfaction Rates for Those Who Use a Certified Ethical Recruiter ACN Newswire

Among Migrating Nurses, Survey Shows High Satisfaction Rates for Those Who Use a Certified Ethical Recruiter

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Sept 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In a new survey, foreign-educated nurses and other healthcare professionals who migrate to work in the United States continue to give high marks to recruitment firms that are certified by the Alliance for Ethical International Recruitment Practices.TruMerit Ethical International Recruitment ReportHow certification helps safeguard the rights of foreign-educated health professionals.The Alliance, a division of TruMerit (formerly CGFNS International), in 2024 surveyed more than 8,000 foreign-educated health professionals who had used one of its 19 Certified Ethical Recruiters (CERs). Ninety percent of respondents indicated they had an overall positive experience with their recruiter, with 55% reporting it was very positive.As the survey report shows, the high satisfaction rate essentially held steady from 2023 despite persisting delays and increased costs in the U.S. immigration process.In an earlier TruMerit/CGFNS survey of its applicants who used non-certified recruiters, only 69 percent reported a positive or very positive experience."As U.S. healthcare systems continue to look to foreign-educated nurses and other health professionals to help resolve chronic staffing shortages, it is essential that we work to protect those who have made the life-altering decision to migrate. This overall rate of positive experience remains a testament to the work of the Alliance's Certified Ethical Recruiters in their adherence to ethical practices and transparent policies," said Rodrigo Gouveia, TruMerit's Chief Global Affairs Officer.The Alliance was created nearly two decades ago in response to concerns some recruiters were using unfair and deceptive practices such as charging unreasonable fees to the recruits, withholding passports and other documents, and pressuring recruits to sign unfair and complex contracts without giving them an opportunity to read and understand them. On such issues, survey respondents had the following responses about their recruitment experiences:82% agreed (68% strongly) that their CER regularly communicated with them and addressed their concerns.More than 97% said they received a copy of their contract and suitable time to review it before signing, with 92% reporting that they were not pressured to sign.95% said their recruiter did not withhold their passports or any other critical documents.91% said they knew what their pay rate would be prior to arriving in the U.S., but a lower proportion (72%) said they knew the location of their new job in advance of emigrating.TruMerit/CGFNS had previously found that four out of five (79%) nurses who recently immigrated to the U.S. used a recruitment firm, either to place them directly with an employer or, under a staffing model, fund their migration costs in return for their commitment to work for the recruitment firm itself, which then assigns them to work at their client healthcare facilities.To be designated a Certified Ethical Recruiter, firms must undergo a rigorous evaluation of policies and practices and agree to Alliance oversight that they remain in compliance with its Health Care Code for Ethical International Recruitment and Employment Practices, which outlines specific best practices for ensuring fair, ethical, and transparent treatment of health professionals migrating to the U.S.The Alliance Code is aligned with the World Health Organization's Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel. In its recent State of the World's Nursing Report, the WHO called for reinforcing adherence to its Code and for ethically managing international mobility and migration as key policy priorities for strengthening global nursing workforce development."The results of this survey indicate the potential for recruiter certification to advance WHO's goals and in serving as a model for both source and destination countries of migrating health professionals," said Gouveia.More information on the Alliance and the Certified Ethical Recruiter program can be found at cgfnsalliance.org.About TruMeritTruMerit is a worldwide leader in healthcare workforce development. Formerly known as CGFNS International, the organization has a nearly 50-year history supporting the career mobility of nurses and other healthcare workers-and those who license and hire them-by validating their education, skills, and experience as they seek authorization to practice in the United States and other countries. As TruMerit, this mission has been expanded to building workforce capacity that meets the needs of people in a rapidly evolving global health landscape. Through its Global Health Workforce Development Institute, the organization is advancing evidence-based research, thought leadership, and advocacy in support of healthcare workforce development solutions, including globally recognized practice standards and certifications that will enhance career pathways for healthcare workers.Contact InformationDavid St. Johndstjohn@trumerit.orgSOURCE: TruMerit Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Doubleview Gold Corp Announces Important High-Grade Copper and Gold Intercepts at Hat Polymetallic Deposit in Northwestern British Columbia

Highlights:2025 season drilling totals 8,506 metres in 12 drill holes and is continuing. Drill hole assay intervals include some of the highest-grade mineralization intercepted to date at the Hat Project.Recent drill holes are extending the mineralization envelope of the Hat deposit and will be incorporated in the next Mineral Resource Estimate.Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - September 11, 2025) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the "Company" or "Doubleview") is pleased to announce important and very significant assay results from its 2025 drilling program at the Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia. The results from drill holes H090, H091, and H092 include some of the most substantial intervals of high-grade copper and gold mineralization encountered at the Hat Project to date and expand the footprint of mineralization well beyond the area considered in the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate that was reported in a 25/07/2024 news release. Drill holes H090, H091, and H092 provide more details of the East Lisle Zone, and shallow extension of the Main Lisle Zone.Partial Data from 2025 Drill Holes:The recent drilling focused on the core Lisle Zone, where drilling intercepted what is interpreted as a potential porphyry feeder zone. The intercepts demonstrate both shallow and deep mineralization horizons and provide further evidence of the Hat Deposit's robust mineralization profile.Table 1 summarizes important assay intervals from drill holes H090, H091 and H092. [Note that scandium (Sc) values are excluded from copper equivalent estimates but are shown to ensure complete disclosure of relevant data]. Data from subsequent drill holes will be released when assays are received and have been verified. To date (11/09/2025) 12 drill holes have been completed with total 8,506 metres (27,906 feet) and work is continuing.Table 1: Summary of Significant % CuEq Drill Core InterceptsDDH From (m)To (m)Length (m)CuEq (%) Excl.

The intercepts display consistent copper, gold and strong cobalt values, as well as consistent scandium mineralization, further reinforcing the Hat Deposit's potential as a significant resource of strategic metals.Figures 1 and 2 illustrate in plan and sectional views the recent drill holes H090 and H091 along with a conceptual open pit outline. The conceptual pit likely will be adjusted substantially as more data becomes available.Figure 3 illustrates drill hole H092 and pre-existing drill holes. H092 is one of the most important drill holes on the Hat property because it greatly extends the zone of higher-grade mineralization easterly and to depth. Several subsequent drill holes were designed to confirm and explore this area.Figure 1: Drill Plan with the Induced Polarization Plan and 2024 Conceptual Pit OutlineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/266027_6cd230d7b4c4ab31_001full.jpgFigure 2: Section on H090 and H091 and 2024 Conceptual Pit OutlineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/266027_6cd230d7b4c4ab31_002full.jpgFigure 3: Drill Section on H092, Southeast Lisle Zone and 2024 Conceptual Pit OutlineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/266027_6cd230d7b4c4ab31_003full.jpgPresident and CEO, Farshad Shirvani, commented:"We are very pleased to present initial assay data from our 2025 field season. Included in the data are several startlingly important features of high-grade mineralization and expanded dimensions. We look forward to their inclusion in an MRE and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in progress. Meanwhile we await with considerable interest the receipt additional assay data.We are also watching with great interest the steadily rising prices for our principal metals, copper, gold, silver and scandium, as the world markets react to this period of uncertainty, a new era of fractured trade relationships, global warming, inflation, and tariffs and the renewed emphasis on strategic metals. The recently announced possible merger of Teck Corporation with Anglo-American illustrates the active consolidation within the mining industry as established members seek to increase and buffer their positions. We believe that Doubleview will play an important role in Canada's mining industry as we expand our resource and plan for a bright future."Quality Assurance and Quality Control:Hat Project drill cores are processed at Doubleview's camp where they are photographed, measured and logged by our technical staff and then divided using a diamond bladed saw. One half is placed in a stout bag to form the assay sample that is forwarded securely to the independent analytical lab. The remaining half core is stored on site where it is available for further examination and sampling. The assay cores are subject to a Chain of Custody routine as they are shipped from camp to a bonded carrier for delivery to the lab.Core samples are analysed at the North Vancouver facility of ALS Canada Ltd. using their PREP-31, PGM-ICP24, ME-MS61, and ME-ICP06 packages. Each core sample is dried, then crushed to 70% passing a 2mm screen. All material is processed in an automatic Riffle splitter to yield a 250g homogenized, representative sample. This sub-sample is then pulverized to 85% passing a 75-micron screen. All samples are analyzed for Au, Pt, Pd by 50g fire-assay fusion/ICP-ES finish, using PGM-ICP24 package. A separate 0.25g pulp split is analyzed by Four Acid digestion/ICP-MS finish, reporting 48 elements. Over limit elements are analyzed by Ore Grade Four Acid digestion/ICP-ES finish using ME-OG62 assay package. All of Doubleview's core samples are analyzed or assayed at independent ISO 17025 and ISO 9001- certified laboratories.When initial assays are received and accepted by our staff, a certain fraction of the samples will be sent to a second ISO-certified lab for check assay and verification purposes.

- The 10th Belt and Road Summit successfully concluded today after a two-day run, attracting 6,200 participants from more than 70 countries and regions- A record 45 MoU were signed, covering multiple sectors such as aviation, energy, finance, infrastructure and technology- Over 300 matched investment projects were showcased, and more than 800 one-to-one project matching meetings were arranged during the 2-day SummitHONG KONG, Sep 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 10th Belt and Road Summit, jointly organised by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) concluded successfully today. The Summit attracted 6,200 participants from more than 70 countries and regions. Delegates explored new models of collaboration, expanded opportunities for mutual benefit, and advanced Belt and Road cooperation. During the Summit, a record 45 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) were signed, more than 300 matched investment projects were showcased, and over 800 one-to-one project matching meetings were arranged, all showcasing Hong Kong’s strengths as a super connector and super value-adder in dealmaking, and reinforcing its role as a functional platform for the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).Fostering concrete cross-border cooperationAttributing to HKSAR Government and HKTDC’s proactive outbound missions and overseas trade promotions, the Summit facilitated the signing of 45 MoUs (9 government to government (G2G) and 36 business to business (B2B)), spanning Mainland China, Hong Kong, ASEAN – Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Middle East - Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, UAE, as well as Australia, Germany, Hungary, Kazakhstan, New Zealand, Pakistan and the United States. For example, a MoU was signed between HKTDC and Invest Oman to promote investment and business cooperation, facilitating bilateral economic and business cooperation, knowledge exchange, and the creation of new opportunities between the two economies.Other B2B MoUs included several “small and beautiful” deals with notable social impact, such as cross-sector collaborations between finance and agri-tech. For example, a joint venture agreement was signed between Chickin PTE LTD from Indonesia and LINKTA Technologies Limited from Hong Kong for applying agricultural technology to Indonesia’s layer hen market. This not only supports business expansion but also contributes to improving local livelihoods. Tubagus Syailendra, Co-founder and CEO, Chickin, said “This Joint Venture agreement aims to have a better partnership in the food security sector between China and Indonesia. We are focused on developing poultry tech to support the farmers’ efficiencies in the whole value chain. With Hong Kong company LINKTA’s involvement, we believe we could acquire technology that could help farmers battle with issues like feed waste, mortality rate, thereby increasing their efficiencies and profit margins.”Many other overseas enterprises had also leveraged the Summit to forge international partnerships. Notably, an agreement between four parties was signed between Planex from Australia, ESCP Business School from Germany, Carbon Offset Association Limited from Hong Kong and Arx Veritas from the United States. They will jointly develop the ESG and carbon credit trading education in Hong Kong, reinforcing Hong Kong’s role as a hub for carbon expertise in the Asia Pacific region.Colin Lam, Co-Founder of Planex, said: “Compared to the EU, Asia started relatively late in establishing a carbon exchange, but this delayed start has provided excellent reference points for Hong Kong and the entire Asian region. The reason we chose Hong Kong as a hub for our carbon exchange business is precisely because Hong Kong has consistently functioned as one of the world's top three financial centers for decades. We naturally aim to use Hong Kong as a hub to extend our reach to mainland China and also beyond to the Middle East. This is absolutely aligned with our strategic direction.”In addition, Infinite Water New Zealand Ltd had signed two MoUs with Realtime Purity and DAUM Consulting from the United States respectively, to establish a close strategic collaboration framework in water treatment technology.Dr Yum-Keung Ip, Managing Director, Infinite Water New Zealand Limited, said: “The HKTDC’s Australia and New Zealand office has been instrumental in bringing our technology to the Summit for further expansion to overseas. We have been through R&D in the past years, and the two MOUs signed today are just a starting point for us to enter the commercialisation phase, which we expect to be an exponential growth stage. It presents an opportunity for us to build confidence and credentials among our other stakeholders. Having our suppliers, partners and key investors witness this development is highly beneficial.”Synergising diverse platforms to build investment bridgesThe Summit has always been committed to providing participants with opportunities to showcase project outcomes, exchange the latest information, and establish concrete collaborations. This year, the Project Investment Session featured more than 300 matched investment projects. Over 800 one-to-one project matching meetings for the Belt and Road Deal Making, helping enterprises connect precisely with potential partners. Deal-making will continue online to promote substantive cooperation from 15–16 September. Meanwhile, the Exhibition area hosted over 120 exhibitors, showcasing innovative solutions and industry strengths, and facilitating cross-border exchanges.New elements were introduced this year to enhance collaboration and the deal-making process. The new Signature B&R Projects-featured Session drew strong attention in the major infrastructure projects in Thailand and Saudi Arabia. The new theme, Middle East & ASEAN Market Focus, under the Project Investment Session was also well-received. The Exhibition area was expanded to include the new ASEAN Zone, showcasing the latest multi-sector projects from the region.Fostering cross-regional dialoguesToday's Special Address Session included Santiphap Phomvihane, Minister of Finance, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Ferry Irawan, Deputy Minister for Coordination of State-Owned Enterprises Management and Business Development for Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Indonesia, and Gim Huay Neo, Managing Director and Member of the Managing Board, World Economic Forum.The Belt and Road Global Forum Annual Roundtable 2025 will be held tomorrow morning (12 September) as an important component of Belt and Road Week.

Latest GA-ASI and AeroVironment Complete First-Ever Air Launch of Switchblade 600 From MQ-9A UAS ACN Newswire

Latest GA-ASI and AeroVironment Complete First-Ever Air Launch of Switchblade 600 From MQ-9A UAS

SAN DIEGO, Sept 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and AeroVironment ("AV") (NASDAQ:AVAV) collaborated on the air launch of a Switchblade 600 loitering munition (LM) from a GA-ASI Block 5 MQ-9A unmanned aircraft system (UAS). The flight testing took place from July 22-24 at the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Grounds Test Range. It marked the first time a Switchblade 600 has ever been launched from an unmanned aircraft."This cooperative effort showcased how combining different unmanned technologies could really provide value and effects to the warfighter," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "By using MQ-9A to carry the Switchblade, the MQ-9A is able to stand off farther from enemy weapons systems and increase the range of the SB600, which will provide greater access and options in contested airspace."After successfully integrating the SB600 with the MQ-9A, the team released two LMs: one with an inert warhead and the other with a high-explosive round.

As the only world city that converges both the China advantage and the global advantage, Hong Kong stands as the premier gateway for co-operation, bridging people, trade, business, education, culture and values across the region, connecting Asia and the world. We are a "super connector" and "super value-adder" for high-quality collaborations worldwide. Our "dual superpower" of connecting and value-adding means Hong Kong is more than a link between capital and projects. We also inject vigour, innovation and sustainability, adding strategic value to everything we do. Hong Kong will continue to drive high-quality development along the Belt and Road.”Professor Ma said: “We are proud to celebrate the 10th edition this year. The Summit has become a cornerstone event supporting the Belt and Road Initiative.

Hong Kong's future participation in the Belt and Road Initiative will be even more important and promising.”Sun Chanthol said during his keynote address: “Over the past decade, Cambodia has achieved remarkable progress with the support from China under the Belt and Road Initiative framework.

Evonik Oxeno Goes Live with Upgraded Decision-Centric Planning Platform in the Cloud

ANTWERPEN, BELGIUM, Sept 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - OMP and Evonik Oxeno announce the successful go-live of a significant digital transformation milestone: the move of OMP's Unison Planning™ to the cloud across Evonik Oxeno's key production sites in Marl and Antwerp. With this project going live, Oxeno elevates its planning capabilities into a new insight-driven, decision-centric planning era.This is not a new beginning. It's the next evolution of a platform that has been live and delivering real results since April 2021. Over the last four years, Evonik Oxeno has embraced decision-centric planning, calculating 30 to 50 scenarios per day and nearly 10,000 simulations since the launch. These scenarios allow teams to explore future possibilities and make informed, data-driven decisions across the company's chemical value chain. The result is a supply chain that can respond to feedstock volatility, market shifts, or logistical risks while safeguarding business continuity and capturing opportunities.The newly deployed version is a significant enhancement, built from the ground up based on four years of operational insight. It introduces a streamlined cloud environment, a purpose-built framework for continuous production, and more intelligent, low-friction workflows, making it easier and faster for planners to proactively optimize, simulate, compare, and act on complex scenarios. While the core approach remains the same, the new version lowers the barriers to advanced planning. It accelerates the path to insight, empowering planners to focus more on strategic decision-making."We didn't reinvent how we work, we just made it easier," said Frank Beißmann, Managing Director at Evonik Oxeno. "With this new version, we've taken everything we've learned and turned it into a faster, more intuitive, and even more powerful platform supporting confident, proactive decisions."OMP's continued partnership with Evonik Oxeno underscores a shared commitment to innovation and operational excellence in the chemical industry."Oxeno's forward-thinking approach is a benchmark for what decision-centric planning can achieve," said Christian Wöllenstein, Senior Project Manager at OMP. "This upgrade reflects our shared vision of continuous improvement, one where supply chain planning is deeply intelligent, future-proof, and business-aligned."For a deeper dive into how Evonik Oxeno transformed its planning - including organizational changes, scenario-based decision-making, and sustainability gains beyond what's covered here - explore the full story.Contact InformationChristian WöllensteinSenior Project Manager at OMPcwoellenstein@omp.comSOURCE: OMPRelated ImagesEvonik Oxeno goes live with upgraded decision-centric planning platform in the cloud Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

IFBH Interim Results Shine: Outpacing Industry Growth with Promising Value-Growth Prospects Catalyzed by Stock Connect

HONG KONG, Sep 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – On August 22, Hang Seng Indexes Company officially announced that IFBH Limited ("IFBH", 6603.HK), the parent company of Thailand’s renowned coconut water brand "if," has been included in the Hang Seng Composite Index, with the change taking effect on September 8. This signifies that the company will meet the core access requirements for the Stock Connect program. Referring to past cases, particularly those involving companies with high brand value in mainland China, inclusion in the Stock Connect typically brings an important incremental source of capital from southbound funds. This not only significantly enhances stock liquidity but also broadens the investor base, driving valuations to align with industry leaders.At this important milestone, IFBH specially organized a large-scale campaign themed "Celebration Moment" — showcasing the brand strength and international vision of IFBH to the market through a light show in Qingdao and synchronized LED screen displays in Hangzhou and Guangzhou. Among them, the Qingdao light show was grandly held from 19:45 to 20:00 on the evening of September 8 at Fushan Bay in Qingdao, serving as "a celebratory tribute dedicated to the special occasion of IFBH's inclusion in the Stock Connect."Revenue Growth Outpaces Market Segment, Profit Resilience Withstands Short-Term VolatilityThanks to consumers’ growing awareness of taste and its ability to meet the demand for natural, healthy, functional, and hydrating beverages, the coconut water segment is experiencing rapid growth. In this booming market, IFBH stands as an industry leader. It has maintained the highest market share in China for five consecutive years and ranks as the second-largest company in the global coconut water beverage market, positioning it to capture long-term industry growth.Recently, IFBH released its 2025 interim results, delivering a performance that demonstrated both growth and resilience in the first half of the year, with its core competitiveness continuing to strengthen.Based on its revenue performance in the first half of the year, IFBH demonstrated a significant competitive advantage in the health beverage segment. During the Reporting Period, the Company’ total revenue increased by 31.5% year-on-year, outpacing the industry average and underscoring its leading position in this market segment. Among this, the if brand contributed 89% of revenue, while Innococo accounted for 11%.In terms of revenue structure, IFBH exhibits a dual-engine growth pattern of “core category leadership and new category breakthroughs” . Revenue from its core product, coconut water, reached US$91.51 million, up 33.3% year-on-year, accounting for 96.9% of total revenue and further reinforcing the market perception of “coconut water = if”. Revenue from other beverages, amounted to US$2.257 million, surging 57.2% year-on-year. These demonstrate that the Company’s strategy of expanding from a “single blockbuster” to a “multi-category portfolio” is beginning to show results.On the profitability front, IFBH's gross profit increased by 15.3% year-on-year in the first half of the year. The adjusted net profit margin remained stable at 20%, placing IFBH in the upper mid-range of the food and beverage industry and highlighting the continued strong profitability of its core business.It is worth noting that the second half is traditionally the peak season for beverage consumption, IFBH’s profit growth is expected to further align with its revenue growth, with continued expansion in its room for profit flexibility.On the operational front, IFBH has proactively stocked up in advance to capitalize on the peak summer and National Day consumption periods in the second half of the year, reflecting management’s strong confidence in future market demand.From intensified marketing efforts and the gradual fading of previous profit-dampening factors to early channel stocking, IFBH is well-positioned for overall favorable development, with high certainty for accelerated growth in the second half of the year.Sustained Industry Momentum and Multi-Dimensional Strengths Drive Long-Term GrowthFrom an industry perspective, the global consumer market is undergoing a divergent pattern of “traditional segments under pressure while emerging sectors on the rise”. In this context, the health consumption sector stands out with increasingly strong growth prospects. As the fastest-growing segment in the RTD soft drink market, the coconut water industry in Mainland China is expected to expand steadily with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.2% from 2024 to 2029, reaching a market size of US$2.55 billion by 2029. The global coconut water market is also projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.1%, increasing from US$5.0 billion in 2024 to US$8.5 billion in 2029.IFBH is implementing a dual-brand differentiation strategy with if and Innococo working in synergistic operation. if brand will further expand into foodservice channels, online platforms, etc., fully capturing the growth opportunities in China’s coconut water industry, while the other brand, Innococo, plans to enter the sports drink market while continuing to diversify its beverage offerings, creating a balanced structure of “dual brands + multiple categories”, driving sustained growth in the Company’s performance.On the other hand, IFBH will accelerate its global expansion. In the first half of the year, the Company saw significant year-on-year revenue growth in markets such as Australia, the United States, and Canada. Looking ahead, IFBH will focus on expanding into Southeast Asia and the Americas. The Company’s asset-light model provides high agility for business expansion. Moving forward, IFBH is expected to replicate its success in the Chinese market and advance toward becoming a global leader in coconut water. For long-term investors, IFBH is not only a high-quality player in the health consumption sector but also a rare option with the potential for sustained growth and resilience through market cycles.
