Founders Metals Upgrades Lower Antino to Advanced Target; Hits 65.9 m of 1.16 g/t Gold ACN Newswire

Founders Metals Upgrades Lower Antino to Advanced Target; Hits 65.9 m of 1.16 g/t Gold

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 12, 2026) - Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) ("Founders" or the "Company") announces that Lower Antino has been upgraded from Intermediate to Advanced Target status - the same internal classification* as Upper Antino - at its Antino Gold Project in southeastern Suriname (Figure 1). The upgrade follows cumulative drilling of 50 diamond drill holes including eight new holes reported here that continue to demonstrate broad, continuous gold mineralization, highlighted by 65.9 metres (m) of 1.16 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) within a broader envelope of 115.0 m of 0.83 g/t Au from surface in drill hole LA046.HighlightsLower Antino upgraded to Advanced Target status with 50 drill holes released to date with an additional 10 holes pending assays and further expansion drilling underwayBest intercept to date: 65.9 m of 1.16 g/t Au within 115.0 m of 0.83 g/t Au from surface (LA046)Broad mineralized envelopes confirmed: 113.5 m of 0.34 g/t Au from surface including 30.0 m of 0.82 g/t Au (LA044)Intrusion-hosted gold mineralization intersected in all eight drill holes reported in this release; mineralization remains open along strike and at depthColin Padget, President & CEO, commented, "Lower Antino's upgrade from Intermediate to an Advanced Target - now sharing the same classification as Upper Antino - reflects consistent, broad gold mineralization across a growing number of drill holes. LA046 returning 65.9 metres of 1.16 g/t gold within a 115-metre mineralized envelope is the best intercept to date at this target and underscores the scale and continuity of the Lower Antino intrusion-hosted gold system. With gold in every hole and consistently wide intercepts, Lower Antino is emerging as a meaningful contributor to the district's overall potential. While our focus remains on exploration and expansion drilling, Lower Antino's advancement to the same classification as Upper Antino means it is expected to be considered for inclusion in any future resource estimate for the district."Lower Antino - Upgraded to Advanced TargetThe Company reports assay results from eight diamond drill holes (LA043 to LA050) at the Lower Antino target, located approximately 3.5 km east of the Upper Antino deposit (Figure 1). All eight holes intersected gold mineralization, with results highlighted by 65.9 m of 1.16 g/t Au within 115.0 m of 0.83 g/t Au in LA046 (Table 1). The 115-metre intercept in LA046 begins at surface and represents an up-dip expansion of the previously released 90.0 m of 1.02 g/t Au in LA041, confirming the continuity and growth potential of the mineralized zone.Based on cumulative drilling results, Founders has upgraded Lower Antino from Intermediate Target to Advanced Target status, ranking it on the same tier as Upper Antino in terms of overall target quality and scale potential. The upgrade reflects the demonstrated continuity of gold mineralization across numerous drill sections and identification of multiple parallel, northeast-trending mineralized zones over approximately 1.9 km of drill-defined strike length within a broader 1.5 km by 2.8 km gold-in-auger anomaly.The target is open along strike and at depth with drilling ongoing to the south and southeast at regular 100 to 200 metre steps. Overall, gold mineralization remains consistent with previous Lower Antino drill results and is hosted in intensely sericite-altered, sheared tonalite with disseminated pyrite and quartz-pyrite veining. The southernmost hole in this release (LA050), intersected 24.0 m of 0.57 g/t Au and represents approximately 200 metres of southward expansion of the mineralized system. Assay results are presented in Table 1, with drill hole locations in Table 2.Lower Antino is one of two Advanced Targets within Founders' 102,360-hectare contiguous land package, which hosts eight drill tested gold targets across the 55 km long Antino concession. The upgrade of Lower Antino adds meaningful scale to the Company's growing inventory of drill-defined gold mineralization at the district level. The Company will continue to systematically advance and upgrade high-quality targets as defined by geological criteria linked to scale and growth potential.*The Company's internal target classification system reflects drill density, demonstrated continuity of mineralization, and data sufficiency; it does not correspond to NI 43-101 resource categories.Figure 1: Antino Gold Project Property MapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7574/288304_571962fb64ca9a3d_001full.jpgFigure 2: Lower Antino Plan MapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7574/288304_571962fb64ca9a3d_002full.jpgFigure 3: Lower Antino cross-section through central gold trend.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7574/288304_571962fb64ca9a3d_003full.jpgTable 1: Lower Antino Drill ResultsDrillholeFrom (m)To (m)Interval (m)Au (g/t)Results from This ReleaseLA043162.00174.0012.001.56incl.167.00174.007.002.56LA0441.50115.00113.500.34incl.8.1038.1030.000.82LA0450.0020.1020.100.31and111.00124.0013.000.44LA0460.00115.00115.000.83incl.41.10107.0065.901.16LA0470.008.108.100.94and149.00156.007.000.46LA0480.0027.6027.600.22and173.00178.005.000.80LA0496.6011.104.500.21LA05047.1071.1024.000.57Previously Released Highlight ResultsLA041156.00246.0090.001.02incl.176.00178.002.0028.44LA00374.10156.0081.901.00incl.106.00132.0026.002.36LA0250.00241.00241.000.27incl.0.0086.1086.100.43LA03329.1060.0030.901.56LA02472.00122.0050.001.02LA028108.00163.0055.000.64incl.110.00117.007.002.32LA0190.0065.0065.000.49incl.44.1065.0020.901.11LA01033.6057.6024.001.23 **Intervals are down-hole depths.

华通金融携手清华大学共建AI与金融科技联合实验室

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 2026-03-12 / 20:30 UTC+8 3月11日,于纳斯达克挂牌的金融科技公司华通金融宣布,与清华大学交叉信息研究院关联企业 X-Tech 以及 AI 技术公司 PandaAI 达成合作。三方将共同成立“AI与金融科技联合实验室”,探索 AI Agents在真实交易场景中的应用。 从“工具”到“伙伴”:AI如何重新定义金融决策 传统的AI应用多为“辅助型工具”——它们可以回答问题、提供数据、生成报告,但最终的决策和执行仍需由人类完成。AI Agents引领的是一次质的飞越:它的形态不再局限于被动响应指令的程序,而是具备目标理解、自主规划、动态执行与任务闭环能力的“智能体”。 在金融场景中,自主执行交易的AI Agents不仅会看K线、懂财报和读新闻,更要理解宏观经济、市场情绪、资金流向,甚至地缘政治等因素与金融市场的相关性。它被期待成为经验丰富的交易员,在瞬息万变的市场中独立完成从分析、研究,判断到执行的完整闭环。 而华通金融此次与清华的合作将致力于让AI Agents具备多维度分析能力和自主执行交易能力,包括:实时解析宏观经济数据与政策动向;融合新闻情绪与社交媒体舆情;对数千只股票进行基本面与技术面扫描;自动生成交易策略并进行回测验证。最终,AI Agents不仅能向用户解释决策依据,还能执行交易指令。 联合实验室将由清华大学交叉信息研究院的李建教授亲自挂帅。作为AI交易领域的顶尖学者,李建团队将提供前沿的算法研究支持;PandaAI则贡献基于量子理念启发的新型AI方法;而华通金融将开放其安全的交易系统和真实的金融运营场景,为自主执行交易的AI Agents的训练与验证提供关键数据和落地通道,作为纳斯达克上市公司, 其交易系统已经过多项安全验证。 AI技术推动投资工具普及:当量化交易不再局限于机构 长期以来,量化交易与AI投资策略是机构投资者的“专利”。他们拥有庞大的研究团队、昂贵的数据和稀缺的算力资源,能够通过模型捕捉市场波动中的潜在机会。而个人投资者往往只能依赖碎片化的信息和有限的分析工具,在这场“算法战争”中处于劣势。 华通金融旨在利用自主执行交易的AI Agents打破这一格局。这些具备自主交易能力的AI Agents有希望帮助用户在无编程或量化知识背景的前提下,亦可以用自然语言完成投资指令下达,而此后的宏观分析、行业比较、个股筛选,并执行交易等关键环节均由AI Agents自主完成。这项研究的意义在于令个人投资者有机会拥有接近机构级别的投研能力和量化交易团队。此外联合实验室还将重点研究AI Agents在实时风控、合规检查中的应用,确保智能交易系统在复杂市场环境下具备安全性和稳定性。 华通金融董事会主席周凯表示:“此次合作是增强我们的技术能力,并帮助个人与专业投资者把握AI驱动金融这一快速发展的领域,让AI Agents真正理解市场运行的深层逻辑,帮助全球用户做出更明智、更及时、更安全的决策。” 未来图景:每个人都拥有自己的“量化交易员” 全球资本市场正经历一场深刻的范式转移。曾经,信息与技术的壁垒将大多数人挡在门外;而今天,自主执行交易的AI Agents正在将“智能金融”的钥匙交到每一个人手中。 全球资本市场正迎来技术普惠的新阶段,AI正将专业投资工具带入更多普通人的视野。试想,用户只需对AI Agents说“我想配置一些低波动的科技股,预算2万美元,持有6个月”,AI Agents即可自动筛选符合条件的标的、评估当前估值水平、生成投资组合建议,并在用户授权后交易,且持续监控组合风险。 华通金融此次携手清华打造可自主执行交易的AI Agents,不仅是寻求技术突破,更是在宣示:金融的未来,不应只是机构的专属游戏。当AI Agents走出高墙、当智能交易融入日常,每一位普通人都将有机会,以前所未有的方式理解并参与这个时代最复杂的市场。 提示:任何投资均存在风险,AI模型并不保证绝对盈利 2026-03-12 此财经新闻稿由EQS via SeaPRwire.com转载。本公告内容由发行人全权负责。原文链接: http://www.todayir.com/sc/index.php

Hitachi to deliver the world’s first 550 kV gas-insulated switchgear in which the entire equipment is SF(6)-free to Chubu Electric Power Grid JCN Newswire

Hitachi to deliver the world’s first 550 kV gas-insulated switchgear in which the entire equipment is SF(6)-free to Chubu Electric Power Grid

TOKYO, Mar 12, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi, Ltd. announced today that it has received an order from Chubu Electric Power Grid for Hitachi Energy’s EconiQⓇ 550 kilovolt (kV) sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)-free gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). This is set to be the world’s first project with 550 kV GIS*1 in which the entire equipment is SF₆-free.*1 In gas-insulated switchgear, all components are housed in fully sealed gas‑insulated compartments to reduce the substation size and protect the equipment from storms and other external interference.The EconiQ 550-kV GIS reduces CO2-equivalent emissions from the insulating gas by 99 percent compared with conventional SF₆‑insulated equipment. By delivering this technology, Hitachi will support Chubu Electric Power Grid in making Japan’s transmission network sustainable.For decades, SF6 gas has been widely used in power grids due to its excellent insulation properties and switching performance. However, it has a global warming potential 24,300 times higher than CO2 and remains in the atmosphere for more than 1,000 years if released. Many governments are now introducing regulations to phase out new SF6–based equipment to address climate change. Currently, Japan has no regulations on eliminating SF6 gas equipment.As Japan's electricity demand rises with increased electrification and the growth of data centers, the need to reinforce the grid while reducing greenhouse gas emissions becomes more urgent. SF6-free switchgear, such as Hitachi Energy's EconiQ technology, offers the solution to this twofold challenge – combining proven reliability and compact design with the lowest carbon footprint.In 2024, Chubu Electric Power Grid announced its policy on adopting SF₆‑free equipment for each voltage class and decided to introduce SF₆‑free GIS for voltages up to 77 kV, as well as SF₆‑free circuit breakers rated 275 kV and above. In line with the adoption policy defined in 2024, and with the aim of accelerating its efforts toward achieving carbon neutrality, Chubu Electric Power Grid has now chosen to deploy SF₆‑free equipment for 550 kV GIS. This equipment will be used in its backbone transmission network.Hitachi Energy launched its EconiQ high-voltage portfolio in 2021 to support the industry’s transition to SF6-free technologies. EconiQ products eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by replacing SF6 gas with an eco-efficient alternative while maintaining the same performance, size, safety, and reliability as conventional SF6-insulated equipment.About Hitachi, Ltd.Through its Social Innovation Business (SIB) that brings together IT, OT (Operational Technology) and products, Hitachi contributes to a harmonized society where the environment, wellbeing, and economic growth are in balance. Hitachi operates globally in four sectors – Digital Systems & Services, Energy, Mobility, and Connective Industries – and the Strategic SIB Business Unit for new growth businesses. With Lumada at its core, Hitachi generates value from integrating data, technology and domain knowledge to solve customer and social challenges. Revenues for FY2024 (ended March 31, 2025) totaled 9,783.3 billion yen, with 618 consolidated subsidiaries and approximately 280,000 employees worldwide.

Honda Announces Losses Associated with Reassessment of Automobile Electrification Strategy; Revision to Forecast for Consolidated Financial Results; and Future Direction JCN Newswire

Honda Announces Losses Associated with Reassessment of Automobile Electrification Strategy; Revision to Forecast for Consolidated Financial Results; and Future Direction

TOKYO, Japan, Mar 12, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda) today announced that it has made a decision to cancel the development and market launch of three EV (electric vehicle) models that had been planned for production in North America. This decision was made as part of the reassessment of the company’s automobile electrification strategy due to various factors including recent changes in the business environment.Consequently, Honda now expects to record losses in its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2026, resulting in the revision of previously announced forecasts for the consolidated financial results for the fiscal year. More details and background of the decision and revisions made to the fiscal year forecasts are explained below.Automobile electrification strategy to date and changes in the business environmentSetting a goal to realize carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities Honda is involved in by 2050, and due to a major policy change in the U.S. seeking to accelerate the transition to EVs, Honda undertook a major strategic shift toward the popularization of EVs based on its belief that EVs will be the optimal solution to realize carbon neutrality especially for small-size mobility products, including passenger cars, from a long-term perspective.Honda had been making steady progress in pursuit of EV adoption by leveraging its stable earnings base provided by existing gasoline and hybrid vehicle business based on technologies and know-how amassed through the development of hybrid models over many years, and motorcycle and financial services businesses with a solid customer base.However, the profitability of Honda automobile business is currently declining due primarily to 1) the unfavorable impact of changes in U.S. tariff policies on the gasoline and hybrid vehicle business and 2) a decline in the competitiveness of Honda products in Asia due to the impact of the allocation of more resources to EV development.In addition, the automobile business environment surrounding Honda is undergoing significant changes, and the outlook remains uncertain. Previously, with stringent environmental regulations fully implemented in the U.S. and other countries, Honda pursued EV adoption with strong determination that striving for carbon neutrality is a responsibility Honda, as a manufacture of mobility products, must fulfill for the future. However, in the U.S., the expansion of the EV market has slowed down due to several factors including the easing of fossil fuel regulations and revisions to EV incentives.Moreover, in China, what customers value more in automobiles is shifting from hardware features, such as fuel efficiency and cabin space, to software-based features that will continuously advance according to customer preferences. This has intensified the competition due to the rapid emergence of newer EV manufacturers that leverage their short product development cycles and strengths in the area of software-defined vehicle (SDV) technologies, including advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). In such a difficult competitive environment, Honda was unable to deliver products that offer value for money better than that of newer EV manufacturers, resulting in a decline in competitiveness.Honda automobile business has fallen into an extremely challenging earnings situation due to various factors, including its inability to respond flexibly to these changes in the business environment, compounded by a decline in the profitability of gasoline and hybrid models due to the impact of newly imposed tariffs.Incurring losses associated with reassessment of automobile electrification strategyIn order to improve the current earnings situation as early as possible, Honda considered various options; however, after careful consideration, the company made the decision to cancel the development and market launch of three EV models that had been planned for production in the U.S., namely the Honda 0 SUV, Honda 0 Saloon, and Acura RSX. Honda determined that starting production and sales of these three models in current business environment where the demand for EVs is declining significantly would likely result in further losses over the long term.Based on this decision, Honda now expects to record 1) write-off and impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets that were intended to be used for the production of these three EV models, as well as 2) losses related to additional expenses resulting from the cancellation of the development and sales of these models.In addition, in consideration of the intensification of competition in China, Honda reassessed the recoverability of investments accounted for using the equity method in China, and now expects to incur an impairment loss on the investments accounted for using the equity method.As a result, in the consolidated financial results for the current fiscal year, Honda expects to record 1) operating expenses of 820 billion yen to 1.12 trillion yen and 2) a share of the loss of investments accounted for using the equity method of 110 billion yen to 150 billion yen. Moreover, Honda expects to record special losses of 340 billion to 570 billion yen in the non-consolidated financial results for the same fiscal year.These amounts are preliminary estimates as of today (March 12, 2026), and should be finalized in the consolidated and non-consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.Furthermore, in the next fiscal year or later, additional expenses or losses may be incurred in connection with the above-mentioned reassessment of the automobile electrification strategy. Combined with the losses to be recorded in the current fiscal year, the total amount of losses is expected to be a maximum of 2.5 trillion yen. This amount is estimated based on information currently available to Honda, and as this estimate includes risks and uncertainties, the actual amount to be recorded may differ from this estimate.In order to achieve more stable and continuous dividends, Honda adopted DOE (dividend on equity ratio) as its shareholder redistribution indicator; therefore, despite this revision to the consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, Honda made no revision to the forecast for the dividend per share for this fiscal year.Future direction for automobile business transformationIn order to respond flexibly to rapid changes in its business environment, Honda is making progress in reorganizing its strategic framework and reestablishing its competitive strengths.In light of the recent slowdown in the growth of the EV market in the U.S., Honda will reassess its resource allocations and further strengthen its hybrid models. As for regional business, in addition to its main markets, namely Japan and the U.S., Honda will enhance the model lineup and cost competitiveness in India, where market expansion is expected. In other countries in Asia as well, Honda will strive to enhance its competitiveness by introducing next-generation hybrid models and reassessing the allocation of its resources.Moreover, in order to strengthen its business structure, Honda will establish a fixed-cost structure appropriate for the scale. Initiatives toward the future introduction of EV models will be implemented flexibly from a long-term perspective, while monitoring the balance between profitability and market trends.Although there is a possibility that additional expenses and/or losses will be recorded in the next fiscal year or later, Honda will maintain stable returns to shareholders by 1) improving profitability of its automobile business with the enhancement of the lineup, including next-generation hybrid models, and 2) leveraging solid earnings power and the cash-generating capability of its motorcycle and financial services businesses.Honda is planning to announce details of the reestablishment of its mid- to long-term strategy for its automobile business at a press conference to be held in May this year.

Japantastics Introduces the World of Kodaimoji, Bringing Ancient Characters into Modern Spaces JCN Newswire

Japantastics Introduces the World of Kodaimoji, Bringing Ancient Characters into Modern Spaces

TOKYO, March 12, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Japantastics, Inc. has announced the launch of a new collection featuring Kodaimoji artworks by Kei Sato, a Japanese calligrapher and contemporary artist who reimagines ancient Chinese scripts such as oracle bone and bronze inscriptions as modern expressions of art. These early forms of writing, dating back more than 3,000 years, are recognised as the origins of modern Chinese characters and as vessels of timeless human emotion and spirituality.Guided by the concept "Bringing Ancient Characters into Modern Spaces," Sato transforms these primordial symbols into living works that resonate with contemporary aesthetic sensibilities. Her art transcends traditional calligraphy, appearing in diverse media such as wood, metal, ceramics, and stone. By merging historical depth with modern design, Sato creates works that channel the spirit of ancient writing into today's architecture, interiors, and art environments.Kei Sato explains: "Ancient characters are the prototypes of the kanji used today. Although they are the oldest form of written language, their rediscovery in 1988 makes them both ancient and new. Inspired by oracle bone and bronze inscriptions, born from cultures that reflect unchanging human emotions across time, I continue to create under the theme 'Bringing Ancient Characters into Modern Spaces,' hoping to share their essence across all environments.""Child""Happiness"Through her creative practice, Sato seeks not only to preserve these scripts as historical artefacts but to reinterpret and revitalise them, awakening the fundamental beauty and meaning of written forms within the context of contemporary art and space."Sun""Spring"The Japantastics.jp online site now features a selection of Sato's works, which serve as a cultural bridge, reviving the rhythm and beauty of the world's earliest scripts for the modern era. Through her reinterpretations, the primitive strokes once carved into bone or cast in bronze are reborn as expressions of universal harmony, emotion, and timeless design.Kei Sato's major overseas activities:1970: Began practising ancient Chinese calligraphy.1994: Became independent.1997: Established Raira Studio.

Unlocking the huge potential of China’s silver economy ACN Newswire

Unlocking the huge potential of China’s silver economy

HONG KONG, Mar 12, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – As the average age of the global population continues to rise, the Chinese Mainland is now home to the world’s largest number of seniors. Recognising this, the country’s 15th Five-Year Plan calls for proactive measures to address the challenges of an increasingly ageing population. The silver economy is set to be one of the vital engines for the mainland's next wave of economic growth.The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has released a new consumer survey report, Chinese Mainland Silver Economy Opportunities, that details the strong spending power of the mainland’s affluent, middle-class senior consumers, as well as the vast untapped potential of this particular sector of society. With securing "happiness" and ensuring "quality" as their spending priorities, the survey shows that such consumers regard Hong Kong-made products as guaranteed to be authentic, while the city’s services sector is seen as professional and reliable. As a result, many of these consumers pronounce a willingness to pay a "Hong Kong premium".Believing that the continued expansion of the mainland's silver economy represents significant opportunities for Hong Kong businesses, Bruce Pang, HKTDC Director of Research, said: "Among other priorities, the 15th Five-Year Plan focuses on boosting domestic demand as a means of driving economic growth. Inevitably, this will create opportunities for Hong Kong companies looking to expand into the Chinese Mainland market.“By gaining a deeper understanding of the consumption patterns of mainland seniors, particularly those in the higher-spending middle-class and affluent segments, Hong Kong businesses will be able to effectively penetrate the domestic market."To gain a more in-depth understanding of the development opportunities in the country’s silver economy, HKTDC surveyed more than 2,000 middle-class/affluent senior consumers in various mainland cities last year. The broad cross-section of respondents included those in their 50s starting to plan their retirement, those entering retirement in their 60s, and the older post-retirement population (aged 70 and above). According to the survey’s findings, respondents' average monthly expenditure on daily consumer goods and services was approximately RMB7,000, rising to RMB8,000 for those in first-tier cities.Commenting on the findings of the survey, Wing Chu, the HKTDC’s Deputy Director of Research, who led the study, said: "Currently, the Chinese Mainland's silver economy is valued at about RMB7 trillion – some 6% of overall GDP. This is projected to surge to RMB30 trillion by 2035, indicating the segment’s huge development potential.“The survey also showed that more than half of such consumers had purchased Hong Kong products or services, consequently holding Hong Kong brands in particularly high regard. It was also notable that 78% of respondents were willing to pay a premium for Hong Kong-sourced products, while 84% were willing to do so in the case of the city’s services sector. Typically, respondents were willing to pay a 16.4% premium on products and 15.4% premium on services, with those in first-tier cities happy to pay an even higher percentage for many types of products and services.”Hong Kong brands enjoy stellar reputationOverall, many of the mainland’s senior consumers have a highly positive view of Hong Kong brands, with the city’s products celebrated for their quality and authenticity, and its services for their professionalism and reliability. On the product front, 61% of respondents had purchased Hong Kong products in the past year, including health foods (24%), luxury goods (18%) and beauty and personal care products (17%). In terms of future purchases, respondents expressed the greatest interest in Hong Kong health foods, leisure foods and beverages.Regarding the city’s services, 54% of senior respondents said they had utilised Hong Kong services in the past year, including beauty and personal care services (25%), travel to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan (22%) and financial and wealth management services (20%). Over the next 12 months, the most sought-after Hong Kong services were said to relate to health and wellness services, followed by beauty and personal care services.Digging deeper into the preferences of such consumers, HKTDC Economist Eric Chu said: "When choosing products and services, happiness is the priority for Chinese Mainland seniors, closely followed by value for money. With this in mind, Hong Kong businesses can leverage the silver economy by capitalising on the strong reputation and professional advantages of the city’s brands.“Specifically, they should consider expanding into the higher-spending first and second-tier cities, while targeting the younger segment of the senior population. Enhancing the offline experience and fostering word-of-mouth recommendations, alongside optimised promotional efforts, will also help Hong Kong businesses stand out in the mainland’s rapidly growing silver market.”Silver generation shaping a “blue ocean” of consumptionTaking a more in-depth look at the survey findings, 65% of respondents prioritised products or services that would enhance their leisure or bring them happiness, while 63% valued reasonable pricing and good value for money, and 62% focused more on the practicality and durability of the products or services on offer. Collectively, this indicates that mainland seniors are particularly concerned about their health and quality of life, while also valuing cost-effectiveness and functionality, marking them out as a notably mature and rational consumer group.In terms of product consumption, 23.3% of respondents most frequently purchased food and beverages, followed by home products (12.6%) and clothing (12.5%). In the case of services, 20.3% utilised body wellness services most often, followed by beauty and personal care services (16.7%) and leisure and entertainment services (13.1%).In addition, despite the popularity of online shopping across the mainland, the survey showed that physical stores remain the primary consumption channel for the more elderly demographic. For such consumers, offline experiences, in-person consultations and a sense of trust in products and services remain prime considerations.To help businesses capitalise on opportunities arising from the silver economy market, the HKTDC has incorporated various related elements into many of its exhibitions and forums. This allows relevant companies to showcase their products and technologies, while also giving them the opportunity to explore the latest industry developments through a series of related seminar programmes.Aligning with this approach, a thematic seminar on healthy ageing was held as part of the Asia Summit on Global Health, while the Rehabilitation and Elderly Care zone at the Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair featured the latest gerontechnology products. The Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) also sought to showcase fitness and health products relevant to the senior market.In addition, the Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, held in January this year, introduced a new “Happy Ageing” label for silver market products, making it easier for buyers to identify toys and related products designed specifically for older consumers. The Asia Toys & Games Forum, held during the fair, hosted a discussion by a number of international experts on the optimum design of toys for the elderly, while also offering many other insights into the silver-focused toy market.Looking ahead, the HKTDC will continue to provide comprehensive support to the business sector, enabling enterprises to further explore and develop opportunities in the growing silver economy market.ReferencesReport link: https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjI2ODIyMDg0NwHKTDC Research: http://research.hktdc.com/enPhoto download: https://bit.ly/4shpQjOHKTDC Director of Research Bruce Pang (centre), Deputy Director of Research Wing Chu (left) and Economist Eric Chu (right) presented key findings from the "Chinese Mainland Silver Economy Opportunities" consumer survey reportHKTDC Media Room: http://mediaroom.hktdc.com/enMedia enquiriesFor enquiries, please contact:Raconteur PR Agency:Betsy TseTel: (852) 9742 7338Email: betsytse@raconteur.hkMolisa LauTel: (852) 6187 7786Email: molisalau@raconteur.hkHKTDC Communication and Public Affairs Department:Clayton LauwTel: (852) 2584 4472Email: clayton.y.lauw@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

Eisai Launches Awareness Campaign on Importance of Sleep Through “Pokemon Sleep” Collaboration

TOKYO, Mar 12, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”) announced today that it is launching an initiative to raise public awareness of the importance of sleep in collaboration with the smartphone application “Pokémon Sleep”.It is estimated that 12.4 million adults in Japan—equivalent to 11.8% of the adult population—experience insomnia and the resulting daytime functional impairments.1 According to the 2023 National Health and Nutrition Survey by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the percentage of people aged 20 and older who feel they have sufficient rest through sleep has shown a gradual decline, highlighting a consistent downward trend for over a decade.2 The proportion of people who sleep less than six hours per night has also reached 38.5% among men and 43.6% among women.2The feeling of insufficient rest has been linked to decreased daytime performance and an increased risk of lifestyle-related diseases, and securing adequate sleep in terms of both quality and quantity is essential for health promotion and maintenance across all age groups.3 Accordingly, the importance of educational activities aimed at disseminating accurate sleep knowledge is increasing.This initiative is part of Eisai’s efforts to build an ecosystem in the sleep field, a key focus area for the company. By leveraging Eisai’s scientific expertise in sleep and the ability of “Pokémon Sleep” to “inspire action through fun”, the collaboration aims to create opportunities for all generations to reflect on their own sleep and daytime performance, and subsequently raise awareness of the importance of healthy sleep.As the first step of this collaborative awareness initiative, Eisai will provide the picture book “Snorlax’s Dream” to medical institutions across Japan that are actively involved in sleep disorder consultation, primarily to those registered with “Sleep Consultation Navigator” information site powered by Eisai. The story is set in the world of “Pokémon Sleep”. Through an adventure in search of Snorlax, the Pokémon characters convey the “importance of getting sufficient sleep and staying healthy” and “tips for a good sleep” in an entertaining way to readers of all ages. By making the picture book available in the waiting areas of medical institutions, the initiative aims to encourage patients to reflect on their own sleep habits in an environment where they are more likely to be considering their physical condition and lifestyle. Additionally, under the collaboration with Pokémon Sleep, Eisai plans to expand its awareness activities by updating patient education leaflets and creating video content that promotes healthy sleep habits.(Please note that all materials provided are intended for distribution to medical institutions in Japan.)Eisai aims to effectively achieve social good in the form of relieving anxiety over health and reducing health disparities not only through the development of therapeutic drugs, but also by building an ecosystem in collaboration with other industries. Together with “Pokémon Sleep,” Eisai will continue to create an environment where people of different generations can reflect on their sleep habits and achieve positive behavioral changes toward a healthy lifestyle. Through these efforts, Eisai will further contribute not only to individuals living with insomnia and their families but also to those who have concerns about their sleep.About “Pokémon Sleep”Pokémon Sleep, the sleep tracker app that turns sleep into entertainment, can be downloaded for free on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

NEC Develops Physical AI That Anticipates Human Movement and Psychological States JCN Newswire

NEC Develops Physical AI That Anticipates Human Movement and Psychological States

TOKYO, Mar 12, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) has developed a first-of-its-kind physical AI (*1) that proactively controls robots to help reduce human stress. This technology utilizes a proprietary "world model" (*2) from NEC to predict human movement and psychological states, quantitatively estimating a person's level of stress.The technology was developed based on a world model, an AI system that is attracting attention globally for accelerating robot adoption. It anticipates the direction a person will move based on the relative position and posture between a robot and the person, predicting the person's level of stress in real time. This enables robots to be controlled along paths and at speeds that reduce human stress.In collaborative human-robot work environments, this reduction of psychological stress can be closely linked to physical safety, helping to avoid collisions and unexpected contact. As a result, expectations are growing for robots utilizing physical AI as a solution to labor shortages and hazardous tasks.However, it is not easy for robots to control their movements based on expected human movements and psychological states. Moreover, robot behavior may cause humans to feel uneasy or tense, potentially hindering smooth collaboration.NEC developed this technology to address these challenges. The technology promotes robot deployment in environments where dedicated robot zones are not yet established, such as small-to-medium-sized logistics warehouses, factories, and retail stores with narrow aisles—locations where stress-related barriers to robot use are conventionally high.This development was achieved by integrating the knowledge and expertise NEC previously accumulated through the research and development of globally recognized models in the field of Physical AI and robot control technologies.The proprietary world model utilized by this technology was developed by combining two prediction models. This has enabled robots to predict the future level of human stress when executing a specific driving control, thereby achieving optimal driving control that anticipates human movement. As a result, it can navigate at speeds and along paths that minimize human stress while maintaining mobility efficiency and suppressing unnecessary deceleration or stops, which can contribute to resolving labor shortages and improving productivity.1. Predicting human movement that changes based on robot behavior and physical surroundingsBy understanding the relationship between "human and robot behavior" as well as "humans and their physical surroundings," NEC has developed a unique prediction model capable of forecasting changing human movement. Using camera footage from robots and their control data, the model can predict with high accuracy the future 3D position and posture of people visible in current footage. This is accomplished in consideration of a robot's behavior and surrounding environmental information.2. Real-time, quantitative estimation of the degree of human stress in relation to a robot’s positionThrough the operation of robots and training AI with experimental results from stress surveys and robot movement data, NEC developed a unique predictive model that quantitatively estimates human stress levels based on the position, posture, and speed among humans and robots. This model enables real-time estimation of stress levels felt by individuals as robots approach them, tailored to each specific situation.Going forward, NEC will continue contributing to the creation of environments where humans and robots can collaborate safely through the implementation of Physical AI.(1) The amount of carbon dioxide absorbed and emitted between forests and the atmosphere.(2) Source: Verra, a nonprofit organization that operates standards in environmental and social markets.
