Ogwang, however, pledged to investigate payments amounting to Shs90 million allegedly made by the club to the National Council of Sports (NCS) for using the facility after Kasule tabled receipts in Parliament. Kasule raised the matter during Prime Minister’s Time on Thursday, 22 October 2026. He appealed for temporary access to the stadium, saying Kitara FC’s current playing facility was unsuitable for competitive matches. “The club’s current playing facility is not sustainable for competitive matches,” Kasule said, urging the minister to intervene, subject to safety and operational requirements. He said the club had previously paid to use the stadium and table receipts for the same. In response, Ogwang thanked Kitara FC for representing Uganda in continental football but said the stadium’s pitch could not sustain frequent matches. “That facility is entirely meant to be used once a week, as per the professional advice given to us by those who built it. It is not meant to be used three times a week,” Ogwang said. He explained that the hybrid pitch required specific maintenance standards and was already being overused. “The facility we are talking about is for AFCON 2027. As of now, the colleague is aware that the facility, particularly the pitch, is overused,” he said. Uganda alongside neighbours Kenya and Tanzania are set to host the continent’s top national football competitions next year. Ogwang said he had written to the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA), asking it to reconsider its position on Kitara FC’s access to its usual home ground for local matches. He said requests to use Hoima City Stadium would be considered case by case but ruled out hosting several matches weekly. “We will continue to work with them case by case, but not to ensure that the facility hosts games two, three, four times a week. That is not possible,” he said. Ogwang added that the government planned to engage an international management firm after AFCON 2027 to operate the stadium and generate revenue. Ogwang questions payments Ogwang questioned whether the money had been properly authorised and remitted to government. He added that the NCS board had not authorised anyone to permit the stadium’s use, questioning who approved the payments and determined the charges. “So, who determined the price? So these are the questions now, I am going to carry out the investigation,” Ogwang said. The investigation will establish who authorised the payments and whether the money was properly received by government.

The project, expected to take 24 months, will include a tarred road linking the Senqu River to Tebellong Hospital, this was announced by Moteane adding that many people lost their lives while crossing the Senqu River. He said the government was continuing efforts to make the river safer through bridge construction, adding that when the current administration took office, it found plans for projects that had been drawn up more than a decade earlier. Hon. Moteane said delays in the bridge project had, among other factors, been caused by its politicisation and changes in government. He urged Unik Construction to work closely with the relevant authorities and maintain the quality demonstrated in its previous projects.The minister also called on the contractor to source materials, including cement and sand, from local businesses where possible. He revealed that the government had spent more than M3 billion on service delivery across the three constituencies in Qacha’sNek during its four years in office, saying it was committed to providing services to the public without political discrimination. Recalling his own experience of crossing the river by boat, Hon. Moteane expressed hope that the project would eventually bring an end to such risky crossings for the public. Minister of Tourism, Sports, Arts and Culture, Honourable Mputi Mputi said the development presented an opportunity to promote tourism and create jobs in the area. He challenged community leaders to identify ways of using local tourism attractions to stimulate economic activity, urging all stakeholders to contribute to job creation and the promotion of Lesotho. Hon. Mputi said tourism and sports development were everyone’s responsibility and called on communities to take advantage of development initiatives to improve livelihoods. Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Natural Resources, Tourism and Land Cluster Lebohang Phohleli expressed gratitude on behalf of the public, saying they would return to monitor progress and ensure the project was implemented successfully. Qacha’s Nek Member of Parliament (MP) Mohlahlobi Busa said the bridge was a long-awaited development that would help protect communities from the dangers of crossing the Senqu River.“We have long been waiting for this, as it is a long-time plan, and now that a contractor has been introduced, we have to be thankful,” he said. Hon. Busa said the bridge would benefit not only residents of Tebellong and Whitehill but also the wider community, particularly people travelling to access services at Tebellong Hospital. He expressed hope that construction would begin soon, given the risks faced by residents, and called for local people to be prioritised for employment. “Only skilled labourers should be sourced from outside. We need transparency,” he said. Busa further urged the contractor to maintain good relations with the community and avoid any form of abuse.“Preserve the dignity and peace in this area,” he said. Lebakeng MP Letsekang Moloi described the occasion as historic, saying bridge construction had been among the public’s expectations when he was elected. “We are thankful for this big gift, and I am glad I took on the assignment and my plea was heard for this project to eventually be happening,” he said. Moloi said the bridge would stimulate economic growth by improving business opportunities for local shops and transport operators while making access to the hospital easier. He raised concerns about the limited availability of boats for crossing the river, saying residents depended on three existing boats, some of which had been washed away by the river. He appealed to residents whose property, including fields, might be affected by construction to cooperate with the project team to ensure smooth implementation. Moloi also called on the community to embrace and protect the development.“May this bridge unite us and not cause any divisions. Let’s accept the project and protect it,” he said. Tebellong Area Chief Makhaola Makhaola thanked the government for responding to the community’s longstanding calls for a bridge.“I have been asking for this multiple times for the people of Tebellong, and we are grateful for this big day,” he said. Makhaola also highlighted the challenges faced by Tebellong Hospital, saying patients had lost their lives while seeking care and the transportation of medication to the facility had been difficult. Speaking on behalf of the Principal Chief, he welcomed the development and pledged the community’s support in protecting the infrastructure.Nts’upe Community Council Chairperson Tefo Lehakoe thanked all those who had contributed to making the project possible, including residents who had raised concerns, community leaders and the government. He recalled seeing structural steel in the river and believing they signalled the beginning of construction, only for them to disappear later. Lehakoe said major projects such as the bridge should create opportunities for local businesses and residents. However, he raised concerns about access to quarry materials and sand, calling for clear guidelines to ensure businesses from Qacha’s Nek could benefit. He also warned against political interference in recruitment and called for transparent employment procedures that would allow Basotho living in the project area to benefit. “Unskilled labourers should be sourced locally,” he said. Lehakoe expressed hope that the completion of the bridge would bring an end to the deaths associated with crossing the river. Speaking on behalf of Qanya Community Council Chairperson, Whitehill Councillor Rorisang Marotholi commended the government for taking up the bridge project rather than abandoning it because it had been planned by a previous administration. He also called for transparency in recruitment, urging that councillors and chiefs from affected areas be involved in the process. “Developments are neither political nor campaigning, but need to happen, though some stakeholders treat them like that, and it is wrong according to me,” he said. Marotholi urged everyone involved to focus on the project’s successful implementation and protect the development for the benefit of the community. The event also featured songs by Tebellong Primary School and a mohobelo dance performance by Matseka Primary School.

Beyond the battlefield, competitive martial arts such as Taekwondo sharpen these attributes, developing agility, tactical awareness, self-control and the ability to perform decisively under pressure. The Kenya Navy demonstrated this spirit of sporting excellence during its annual Inter-Units Taekwondo Tournament held at Kenya Navy Base Mtongwe, where athletes drawn from various units and formations battled for top honours in fiercely contested finals. Competing across multiple weight categories, including Finweight, Featherweight, Lightweight and Heavyweight divisions for both men and women, the athletes showcased exceptional skill, precision, endurance and fighting spirit. The contests highlighted the importance of rigorous training, tactical discipline and mental toughness in achieving competitive excellence. Presiding over the tournament, Commander Kenya Navy Fleet, Brigadier Mohamed Shemote, underscored the strategic value of sports in strengthening physical conditioning, personal development and operational readiness. “Taekwondo offers real value to sailors. Its demanding movements develop fitness, balance, agility and controlled strength. Its practice can build confidence, self-discipline and the ability to remain composed under pressure,” he stated. Brigadier Shemote further emphasised that the respect demonstrated towards coaches, officials and opponents reinforces the discipline, professionalism and integrity expected of every sailor. He noted that the physical and psychological benefits of Taekwondo extend beyond competitive sport, contributing to individual well-being, teamwork and military effectiveness. Beyond the medals and competitive honours, the tournament provided a platform for identifying outstanding athletes to represent the Kenya Navy at the forthcoming Chief of the Defence Forces (CDF) Challenge Cup, where they will compete against their counterparts from across the Kenya Defence Forces. The championship reaffirmed the Kenya Navy’s commitment to nurturing sporting talent, strengthening physical and mental resilience, and cultivating a disciplined, confident and mission-ready force capable of meeting the demands of modern military service.

First elected CEO of the AUB in January 2016 and re-elected for a four-year term in June 2022, Mr Ndjaka brings over three decades of professional experience as a senior journalist and media executive. He previously served as Director of Human Resources and Advisor to the Director-General of Cameroon Radio Television (CRTV), and holds two Master's degrees in Human Rights and Humanitarian Emergencies and in Project Management from the Catholic University of Central Africa. He is a fellow of the Japan Foundation. Under his leadership, the AUB has driven a continental broadcasting agenda that spans preferential satellite tariffs for member organisations, capacity-building programmes across African media, the coordination of major continental broadcasting rights arrangements, and public service media reform. He is a member of the World Broadcasting Unions alongside his European (EBU), Asian (ABU), North American (NABA) and Caribbean (CBU) counterparts. His appointment to the ACG Advisory Board brings to the platform the continental broadcasting layer that any sport and entertainment district project requires to reach African and global audiences. Sport and entertainment districts, at the scale ACG is originating, depend on structured broadcast distribution across national public service broadcasters, negotiated media rights frameworks, and coordinated continental coverage — the very layers that the AUB convenes on behalf of its 86 member broadcasters. Mr Ndjaka's appointment ensures that ACG's work is aligned from the outset with the continental broadcasting architecture that determines the reach, revenue and cultural resonance of large sport and entertainment properties in Africa. His appointment brings to the ACG Advisory Board an unmatched combination of pan-African media leadership, deep relationships across national broadcasters and public service media, and continental policy positioning in the audiovisual sector — capabilities directly relevant to originating and structuring large-scale sport and entertainment district projects across the African continent. "Grégoire Ndjaka brings to our Advisory Board the continental broadcasting layer that no serious African sport and entertainment district project can be conceived without. The reach, cultural resonance and financial return of these projects depend on how well they connect to the pan-African public service broadcasting architecture, and the AUB is the continental anchor point for that architecture. His presence on our Advisory Board is a genuine strategic asset," said Nicolas Pompigne-Mognard (www.Pompigne-Mognard.com), Founder and Executive Chairman of ACG. The ACG Advisory Board provides strategic guidance as ACG originates and structures large-scale sport and entertainment district projects across the continent, aligning governments, development finance institutions (DFIs), investors, sport bodies and infrastructure partners to support the development of financially sustainable, mixed-use district ecosystems. Africa's sport economy is projected to reach $20 billion by 2035, yet the continent continues to lack the integrated district ecosystems required to support large-scale development. ACG addresses this gap by originating bankable sport and entertainment district projects, moving beyond single-venue development models towards mixed-use, revenue-generating and financially sustainable district ecosystems. Through its collaborative model, ACG convenes governments, PPP authorities and regulators, development finance institutions, private investors, developers, designers and engineers, legal and transaction advisors, operators, sport federations and leagues, event promoters, media and broadcast partners, academic institutions and host communities, creating structured pathways from concept to feasibility, bankability and delivery.

Media contact: marie@apo-opa.com About African Collaborations Group (ACG): www.ACGafrica.com) is the leading strategic project origination and collaboration platform focused on the industrialisation of sport in Africa through the origination of bankable sport and entertainment district ecosystems. By convening governments, private-sector partners, development finance institutions, sport and entertainment stakeholders, and academic institutions, ACG creates structured pathways that transform concepts into investable and deliverable district projects across the continent. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— RUN X™ - The first-ever 5 km World Treadmill Championship is about to begin 2026-10-23 · PR Newswire · Sports https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/run-x---the-first-ever-5-km-world-treadmill-championship-is-about-to-begin-302917867.html The first World Treadmill Championship, involving athletes, amateurs, and beginners will start on 23 October in 400 fitness centres across 20 countries CESENA, Italy, Oct. 22, 2026 -- Whether you are a competitive athlete, a passionate amateur, or just starting your running... ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— What Does a Race-Ready Bike Actually Cost? 2026-10-23 · ACCESS Newswire · Sports https://finance.yahoo.com/small-business/articles/does-race-ready-bike-actually-040000249.html NEW YORK CITY, NY / October 23, 2026 / Biking can be a thrilling hobby, but it's not a cheap one: A solid race-ready bike can cost anywhere from a couple thousand dollars to more than $10,000.

Drawing on technologies also featured in PXG’s celebrated Lightning® lineup, the new model combines a thinner face, refined internal sole structure, and optimized weighting in a compact, 300cc clubhead to generate faster ball speeds and tighter dispersion. “The original Secret Weapon was my favorite club in the bag, so I had high expectations for this one,” said PGA TOUR professional Jake Knapp. “I absolutely love it. It has everything I liked about the original, with more speed and forgiveness. Putting it in the bag was an easy decision.”  The new Secret Weapon’s face is more than 4-percent thinner than the previous generation. This allows greater deflection at impact for more efficient energy transfer and faster ball speeds across a larger portion of the face.  Using advanced finite element analysis, PXG engineers refined the internal sole structure to support the thinner face while distributing impact stress throughout the clubhead. Mass saved from the thinner face was repositioned around the perimeter to increase moment of inertia, helping the clubhead resist twisting and preserve distance and directional control on off-center strikes. A lightweight carbon fiber crown further allows additional mass to sit lower and deeper in the clubhead. “The thinner face and refined sole structure work together,” said Caleb Kroloff, PXG Director of Woods Research & Development. “We reinforced the areas that needed support and moved saved weight to the perimeter. That helps us deliver more speed with more consistent performance when golfers miss the center of the face.” PXG’s Precision Weighting Technology features four adjustable weight locations in the sole at the heel, toe, front, and back. Initially equipped with two 7.5-gram weights and two 2.5-gram weights, the technology enables golfers to fine-tune shot shape, spin, and swing weight. An adjustable hosel provides additional control over launch and trajectory. The PXG Secret Weapon Mini Driver is offered in right- and left-handed configurations with 13 degrees of loft and a standard length of 43.25 inches.  To learn more, purchase online, or book a fitting, visit www.PXG.com.

The addition of TestoPrime to One Lavi represents another step in Wolfson Group's ongoing U.S. expansion strategy, which focuses on increasing consumer access to its portfolio through additional online retailers and brick-and-mortar distribution opportunities. TestoPrime serves the men's wellbeing category, with a focus on vitality, everyday performance and healthy ageing. The brand is part of Wolfson Group's broader portfolio of wellness products designed around different consumer lifestyles and priorities. "Men's wellness is an important part of our portfolio, and we're pleased to expand access to TestoPrime through another U.S. retail channel," said the founder and CEO of Wolfson Group. "Our focus is on building a stronger retail presence while making our established brands easier for consumers to find." The expansion comes as conversations around men's wellness increasingly encompass a broader range of lifestyle priorities, including physical activity, nutrition, maintaining vitality and healthy ageing. Wolfson Group believes this broader approach reflects changing consumer interests, with more men considering everyday wellbeing as part of their long-term lifestyle goals rather than focusing on a single aspect of health. TestoPrime is already available to U.S. consumers through Amazon. Its new availability on OneLavi provides another online purchasing option while supporting Wolfson Group's strategy of expanding its distribution network across multiple retail channels. The company recently participated in the ECRM Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition Session in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, where it presented its portfolio during scheduled meetings with U.S. retail industry participants. TestoPrime is part of Wolfson Group's multi-category portfolio, which also spans weight management, cognitive wellness and gut health. The company continues to develop its U.S. retail presence while investing in consumer education and science-led brand development. "Expanding into additional online retail channels is an important part of our long-term strategy," the founder said. "We want to create more opportunities for consumers to discover our brands while continuing to build relationships across the U.S. retail marketplace." Wolfson Group said it plans to continue broadening its U.S. distribution footprint as it develops additional retail relationships and supports growth across its consumer wellness portfolio. About Wolfson Group Wolfson Group is an international consumer wellness company focused on building science-led brands that help people live healthier lives. Its portfolio spans weight management, cognitive health, gut health, men's wellness, beauty and healthy ageing, serving millions of consumers worldwide through direct-to-consumer, marketplace and retail channels. Wolfson Group's portfolio includes the established wellness brands PhenQ, TestoPrime, NooCube and YourBiology, spanning categories such as weight management, cognitive wellness, gut health and men's wellbeing. The brands are currently available to U.S. consumers through Amazon while the company pursues broader retail opportunities nationwide. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— AgeReverse RESURGE Now Available on OneLavi.com 2026-10-22 · Newsworthy.ai · AI, SaaS, Healthcare, Retail, Food & drink, Sports, Biotech & pharma, Marketing & advertising, Internet & apps, Consumer goods https://newsworthy.ai/news/202610223065/agereverse-resurge-now-available-on-onelavicom Boca Raton, Florida Thursday Oct 22, 2026 @ 5:00 AM Eastern — AgeReverse, a Canadian longevity company focused on healthy aging and cellular vitality, today announced that its flagship RESURGE formulation is now available to U.S. consumers through OneLavi.com, marking another milestone in the company's expanding U.S. retail presence. The One Lavi launch follows the recent availability of RESURGE on Amazon and reflects AgeReverse's strategy to build a broader U.S. distribution network through multiple retail and e-commerce channels. "Expanding our availability through OneLavi is another important step in introducing AgeReverse to more consumers across the United States," said Kubi Turkmen, Founder and CEO of AgeReverse. "Our goal is to make RESURGE accessible through established retail destinations while continuing to build awareness of our comprehensive approach to healthy aging." AgeReverse developed RESURGE around the scientific framework of the 12 Hallmarks of Aging, which describes interconnected biological processes associated with aging. Rather than emphasizing a single ingredient or isolated wellness benefit, the company designed its flagship formulation to bring together multiple ingredients in a simplified daily regimen. The 90-capsule RESURGE formulation includes NMN, Resveratrol, Quercetin, Fisetin, CoQ10, Astragalus Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Aronia Extract and Noni Berry. Key features of RESURGE include: Developed around the scientific concept of the 12 Hallmarks of Aging Combines multiple ingredients associated with antioxidant support and everyday wellness Supports nutrient metabolism, cardiovascular health and immune function Helps support collagen formation, connective tissue development and joint health Simplifies what the company describes as 12 or more individual products and 15 or more capsules per day into a three-capsule daily regimen Manufactured in GMP-certified facilities in Ontario, Canada using vegan capsules Registered as a Natural Health Product with Health Canada under NPN 80130202 The expansion onto OneLavi comes as AgeReverse continues developing its presence in the U.S. longevity and healthy aging market. The company recently participated in the ECRM Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition Session in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, where it introduced RESURGE and its broader product strategy during scheduled meetings with retail buyers across health, specialty, food, drug and mass retail channels. Beyond RESURGE, AgeReverse is developing a range of products focused on both internal wellness and external skin aging. Its broader plans include biological age testing, daily skincare, professional aesthetic formulations and non-invasive mesotherapy technology. "Our long-term strategy is about more than a single product or sales channel," Turkmen added. "We are building a complete range of healthy aging solutions while expanding the ways consumers can access the AgeReverse brand." The OneLavi availability represents another step in that strategy, complementing the company's existing Amazon presence and its ongoing efforts to develop additional U.S. retail relationships. RESURGE is now available on OneLavi.com and Amazon. Visit the AgeReverse Website and follow the company on Instagram and LinkedIn.

With Featured Newsjacking flagging breaking stories in a client’s beats and cities, PR teams can now find the stations covering that client’s market and draft a pitch to the news desk while the story is still moving. The new capability, Find TV Stations, runs inside the same Featured chat used for Newsjacking, so the workflow stays in one place: Set up Newsjacking with the client’s beats and city markets. When a story card arrives, open it in chat and ask for the TV stations in the client’s market, for example “Find TV stations in New York.” Draft the pitch to the news desk from a station card, leading with the local angle and the person who can be on camera today. Find TV Stations and Newsjacking are available on every Featured plan, including Free. Local news desks look for a local angle on national stories every day. Muck Rack’s State of Journalism 2026 survey found that 78% of journalists say a pitch is relevant when it directly affects the community their audience belongs to, and only 16% say the pitches they receive usually reflect that community. Local television is where that audience is. The Pew Research Center reports that 65% of Americans get local news from local TV stations at least sometimes, and in the Reuters Institute’s 2026 Digital News Report, 56% of U.S. respondents rated local TV news trustworthy, ahead of every national brand in the survey. The RTDNA/Newhouse survey published in September 2026 counted 26,458 full-time local TV news employees in 2025, down 2.2% in a year, with nearly two-thirds of stations relying on multimedia journalists who shoot, write and edit their own stories. “Every national story has a local version, and the local news desk usually wants it the same day,” said Brett Farmiloe, Founder and CEO of Featured. “Newsjacking finds the story and the angle. Now the stations in your client’s market are one more question in the same chat.” Featured’s TV station database covers 1,757 U.S. TV stations and carries newsroom contacts for 470 of them across 195 TV markets, including news desk emails for 365 stations and news desk phone numbers for 332. It also holds 269 department desk addresses for weather, sports, consumer and investigative teams. Contacts were collected from station websites in September 2026. Users can search by state, TV market, city, or call sign, and Featured shows which stations it can draft a pitch to. Find TV Stations is live now at featured.com. Free to start. No credit card. About Featured Featured is the AI co-pilot for PR, a platform that helps PR professionals and subject-matter experts land media placements, build brand authority, and grow AI visibility. The company owns and operates HARO (Help a Reporter Out) and Connectively as standalone products within its portfolio. Learn more at featured.com.

Their appointment forms part of Canon’s announcement of 25 new Ambassadors joining the EMEA programme in 2026, bringing together creative voices from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Established in 2008, the Canon EMEA Ambassador Programme has grown into one of the imaging industry’s most influential initiatives. It connects accomplished photographers and filmmakers with Canon and the wider creative community, providing a platform to share knowledge, exchange ideas, mentor emerging talent and contribute to the evolution of visual storytelling. The three new additions reflect the breadth of creative talent emerging from and connected to Africa, spanning cinematography, filmmaking, wildlife and conservation storytelling. Hamoudi Laggoune is a Franco-Algerian cinematographer and visual storyteller with more than two decades of experience in film and image-making. Based between Europe and North Africa, his work explores evolving approaches to cinematography, including Cinema EOS, virtual production, underwater filmmaking and large-format imaging. Hans Ngoteya, from Tanzania, is a wildlife filmmaker and conservation storyteller committed to using visual storytelling to create greater awareness of the natural world. As co-founder of Ngoteya Wild, he has directed award-winning documentaries highlighting nature and conservation and was recognised with the Jackson Wild Rising Star Award in 2023. Nora Awolowo is an award-winning Nigerian cinematographer, filmmaker, photographer and visual storyteller whose work spans documentary, feature film and visual storytelling. Her portfolio includes directing the FIFA original documentary Nigeria: The Debut and serving as cinematographer and producer on the feature film Red Circle. Most recently, Nora produced Black Market through Rixel Studios, which made history in September 2026 by setting a Guinness World Record for the largest attendance at a film screening, drawing more than 51,000 qualifying viewers to its premiere at Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos. The milestone adds to a growing body of work that has earned her recognition both within Nigeria and internationally. The three creatives join an established community that already includes accomplished African Canon Ambassadors such as Aïda Muluneh and Seibou Traoré, reinforcing a growing network of creative professionals bringing distinctive African perspectives, experiences and storytelling traditions to the wider EMEA programme. Rashad Ghani, B2C Business Unit Director, Canon Central & North Africa, said: “This programme is much more than recognition of individual achievement. It creates opportunities for knowledge to be shared, for emerging creators to learn from established professionals and for African perspectives to become an increasingly visible part of the wider EMEA creative conversation. We congratulate Hamoudi, Hans and Nora on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to seeing the experiences, ideas and inspiration they bring to the Ambassador community.” Canon Ambassadors are selected through a rigorous multi-stage process. Candidates are nominated by Canon offices across EMEA before being assessed by an independent panel of 16 experts from the photography and filmmaking industry. The panel considers the strength and impact of each candidate’s work, creative voice, values, innovation and contribution to the wider imaging community before making its final recommendations. Through the programme, Ambassadors collaborate with Canon across educational initiatives, workshops, events and knowledge-sharing opportunities, helping inspire and support photographers and filmmakers at different stages of their creative journeys. The addition of Laggoune, Ngoteya and Awolowo brings further geographic and creative diversity to this established EMEA platform while providing audiences across Central and North Africa with more locally and regionally relevant creative voices to learn from and engage with.

Dr Adeosun is Founder of SMADE Group, the cultural enterprise powering African creativity worldwide, and Co-Founder of Afro Nation, the world's largest Afrobeats festival. Over more than two decades, he has played a defining role in the global rise of Afrobeats, taking African music from the diaspora underground to the global mainstream, and building the platforms, venues, festivals and campaigns that carried it there. His work spans music, live entertainment, cultural infrastructure and cultural diplomacy across Africa, Europe, the Caribbean and North America. He has promoted and produced headline shows for many of the biggest names in African music, including Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido and Tiwa Savage, and holds the historic distinction of selling out London's O2 Arena three nights in a row for Wizkid — a first in the arena's history for an African act. He co-launched the Official UK Afrobeats Chart, contributed to the Billboard US Afrobeats Chart, and built cultural infrastructure through venues including SMADE Lounge and programming partnerships with institutions such as The Africa Centre. His current work sits deliberately at the intersection of music, policy, tourism and economic development, using culture as a strategic tool for job creation, investment, exports and long-term nation branding, and building sustainable creative ecosystems anchored on talent pipelines, ownership pathways and global partnerships that ensure culture is economically protected and future-proofed. His appointment to the ACG Advisory Board is strategically foundational to ACG's doctrine. Sport and entertainment districts, at the scale ACG is originating, cannot be conceived as sport infrastructure with entertainment layered on afterwards; they must be designed as integrated sport and entertainment ecosystems from the outset. Entertainment programming — music, festivals, concerts, cultural events — is what fills a district on non-match days, sustains the venue economics that underpin financial bankability, animates the surrounding retail, hospitality and public realm, and turns a stadium project into a lived cultural asset for the city and country that host it. Dr King SMADE's appointment ensures that this integrated logic is embedded into ACG's work from the first conception of a project, not added as an afterthought. His appointment brings to the ACG Advisory Board an unmatched combination of cultural entrepreneurship, festival and venue programming expertise, deep relationships across the artistic, cultural and diaspora communities, and a demonstrated track record of building cultural infrastructure that generates real economic value — capabilities directly relevant to originating and structuring large-scale sport and entertainment district projects across the African continent. "You cannot think sport infrastructure without thinking entertainment from the outset, and Dr King SMADE's appointment is a strategic statement of exactly that principle. What he has built with Afro Nation and SMADE Group — a global cultural platform anchored in African creativity — is the very ecosystem thinking that ACG is applying to sport and entertainment districts across the continent. His presence on our Advisory Board ensures that entertainment, culture and creative economy considerations are embedded into every project we originate from the first conception, not added at a later stage. That is what makes district ecosystems financially viable, culturally alive, and genuinely valuable to the cities and communities they serve," said Nicolas Pompigne-Mognard (www.Pompigne-Mognard.com), Founder and Executive Chairman of ACG. The ACG Advisory Board provides strategic guidance as ACG originates and structures large-scale sport and entertainment district projects across the continent, aligning governments, development finance institutions (DFIs), investors, sport bodies and infrastructure partners to support the development of financially sustainable, mixed-use district ecosystems. Africa's sport economy is projected to reach $20 billion by 2035, yet the continent continues to lack the integrated district ecosystems required to support large-scale development. ACG addresses this gap by originating bankable sport and entertainment district projects, moving beyond single-venue development models towards mixed-use, revenue-generating and financially sustainable district ecosystems. Through its collaborative model, ACG convenes governments, PPP authorities and regulators, development finance institutions, private investors, developers, designers and engineers, legal and transaction advisors, operators, sport federations and leagues, event promoters, media and broadcast partners, academic institutions and host communities, creating structured pathways from concept to feasibility, bankability and delivery.

The upcoming Walmart.com availability will build on TNT's existing presence through Amazon and OneLavi, expanding the online retail options available to American consumers interested in the company's German sports nutrition portfolio. "Walmart.com represents another important opportunity for TNT as we continue building our presence in the United States," said Markus Himmelstoss, Managing Director of TNT. "We've established a strong customer base in Europe, and our goal is to make TNT more accessible to American consumers through the online retail platforms they already know and use." Expanding Access to German Sports Nutrition TNT's U.S. retail strategy is focused on introducing its established European sports nutrition portfolio to a broader American audience through recognized retail platforms. The company's product lineup includes Creatine Monohydrate Creapure®, CLEAR WHEY protein isolate, Synapsensause Pre-Workout, and Game Changer, a carbohydrate and electrolyte formulation. TNT has developed its brand around German product development, quality standards, and a focus on athletes and active consumers. As the company expands in the United States, its retail strategy emphasizes both product availability and building awareness of TNT as an established international sports nutrition brand. "We believe American consumers appreciate quality, transparency, and brands with a clear identity," Himmelstoss said. "TNT has spent years building that foundation in Germany and Europe. Our U.S. expansion is about introducing that same commitment to a new market." Building on Recent U.S. Retail Activity The planned Walmart.com availability follows TNT's participation in the September ECRM Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition Session in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, where the company introduced its product portfolio to U.S. retail buyers. That participation was part of TNT's broader effort to develop relationships within the American retail marketplace while continuing to expand its online distribution. With Amazon and OneLavi already providing access to TNT products in the United States, Walmart.com represents another opportunity to broaden the brand's reach. The company views its U.S. expansion as a long-term effort that combines established retail platforms, brand education, and continued introductions to American consumers. Continuing TNT's U.S. Growth TNT's expansion reflects its strategy of building on an established European customer base while adapting to the opportunities of the American sports nutrition marketplace. The company plans to continue supporting its existing U.S. retail presence while preparing for its upcoming Walmart.com availability. "Every new retail platform gives us another opportunity to introduce TNT to consumers who may not yet be familiar with our brand," Himmelstoss said. "We're excited about the progress we're making and look forward to continuing that growth in the United States." TNT products are currently available to U.S. consumers through Amazon and OneLavi, with Walmart.com availability planned.

It helps multinational corporations, financial institutions, African governments and sovereign entities, pan-African corporates, and organisations across the continent's fastest-growing sectors prepare for, manage, and recover from high-stakes reputational crises. Its services span crisis rapid response, executive counsel, crisis readiness, reputation recovery, and continuous crisis intelligence.

On the appointment, Nicolas Pompigne-Mognard (www.Pompigne-Mognard.com), Founder and Chairman of APO Group, said: “Reputation and crisis communications are among the most under-served disciplines in Africa, yet also among the most critical. For 15 years, Fadi managed institutional reputation during coordinated disinformation campaigns, sanctions crises, and war crimes trials, before a global audience and under permanent legal constraint. There is no comparable practitioner on the continent, and we are proud to welcome him to APO Group to lead this division.” Bas Wijne, CEO of APO Group, added: “What makes this division different is that we do not only advise, we execute. A strategy that sits on paper is worthless when a narrative is moving across 12 markets in three languages overnight. Fadi brings the strategic framework, and APO Group brings the infrastructure to deploy it across all 54 African markets in real time. That combination does not exist anywhere else in Africa.” On his appointment as Chief Strategic Advisor, Reputation and Crisis Communications, Fadi El Abdallah said: “Reputation and crisis communications in Africa are at an inflection point. Governments and organisations are facing reputational threats that are faster, more complex and more consequential than ever before, driven by digital media, political pressure and an increasingly discerning global audience. What has been missing is a firm with both the strategic depth to advise at the highest level on reputation and crisis, and the infrastructure to deliver at scale. That is exactly what APO Group offers, and it is why I am here.” APO Group operates two integrated business units that together make it unique on the African continent, celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2027 and trusted by 300+ organisations including Emirates, Canon, Nestlé, the NFL, DHL, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), and Afreximbank. The first is Africa's largest press release and content distribution service, the Africa Newsroom newswire, reaching 450,000+ journalists and news organisations across all 54 African markets in English, French, Arabic, and Portuguese. Through partnerships with Bloomberg Terminal, Thomson Reuters Eikon, LexisNexis, and Dow Jones Factiva, APO Group's distribution extends directly into the international financial and investor community, guaranteeing visibility with the analysts, fund managers, and financial decision-makers who shape investment flows into Africa. The second is a full-service strategic communications consultancy managing complete communications strategy and delivery for some of the leading organisations active in Africa: building strategies from the ground up; creating all content formats through a dedicated in-house content department (press releases, opinion pieces, digital assets for social media, white papers, research reports, executive speeches, and multimedia content); organising press conferences, interviews, and international online press conferences; managing influencer programmes; and securing editorial coverage across the continent and in leading international media including the Financial Times, CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, TV5 Monde, Bloomberg, Reuters, and AFP. APO Group has communications professionals on the ground across Africa, a pan-African workforce that no global advisory firm can match in breadth, depth, or local knowledge. When an organisation needs to move a narrative at speed, APO Group mobilises both business units simultaneously. No other advisory firm on the continent can make this claim.

Tayebwa made the remarks during the plenary sitting on Tuesday, 20 October 2026 following concerns over the PSU’s reported withdrawal of the professional recognition of the programme. Tayebwa revealed that he contacted the NCHE Executive Director, who confirmed that the programme remains accredited.  “The students are learning and being taught an accredited course,” Tayebwa told Parliament. He added that NCHE accredited the programme in consultation with relevant stakeholders including the Pharmaceutical Society. The Deputy Speaker said there is an overlap in the mandates of the Pharmaceutical Society and the National Council for Higher Education under the laws governing pharmacy training. He directed the Minister for Education and Sports to present a comprehensive statement to Parliament on Thursday, 22 October 2026. He also asked the minister to consult the Attorney General and directed the Attorney General to present the legal framework governing the matter. The Leader of the Opposition, Hon.  Joel Ssenyonyi said the concerns raised by PSU appear to extend beyond programme recognition to the qualifications of the person heading Mbarara University Department of Pharmacy. Ssenyonyi said a letter from the professional body questioned whether the department was headed by someone with the qualifications required for the position. He urged the government and relevant authorities to address the concerns promptly to prevent further uncertainty among students and graduates. “If it is a question of somebody heading a department who requires a particular set of qualifications, I think that should be sorted out so that students are not in disarray,” Ssenyonyi said.

The American Heart Association, a relentless force changing the future of health for everyone everywhere, presents the Bear Bryant Awards annually to celebrate excellence in coaching, to honor coach Bryant’s legacy and to raise awareness and critical funds for its mission. The coaching legend died from a heart attack in 1983, just 28 days after his final victory and retirement. Since its inception, the awards have united the football community in support of the Association's lifesaving work. “Coach Sherrill’s impact on college football spans generations and extends far beyond wins and championships,” said Nancy Brown, chief executive officer of the American Heart Association. “Through his leadership, commitment to excellence and dedication to developing young people, he exemplifies the values that defined coach Bryant’s remarkable legacy and continue to inspire others today. We are honored to recognize coach Sherrill's lasting impact on the game and the people he helped shape throughout his career.” The Lifetime Achievement Award honors a coach for outstanding career accomplishments both on and off the football field. Now in its 28th year, the Paul “Bear” Bryant Lifetime Achievement Award is voted on by the National Sports Media Association and based on criteria established by the Bryant family, which includes integrity, leadership, dedication to the development of young people and excellence in teaching the game of football. Sherrill’s connection to coach Bryant runs deep. A native of Duncan, Oklahoma, Sherrill played for Bryant at the University of Alabama from 1962-65, helping the Crimson Tide win two national championships. He later served as a graduate assistant under Bryant before embarking on a coaching career that would help shape college football for more than three decades. Over 27 seasons as a head coach at Washington State, Pittsburgh, Texas A&M and Mississippi State, Sherrill compiled a career record of 180-120-4, becoming one of the most successful coaches of his era. Sherrill rose to national prominence at the University of Pittsburgh, where he succeeded Johnny Majors and guided the Panthers to a remarkable 50-9-1 record from 1977-81. Under his leadership, Pittsburgh produced five consecutive top 10 finishes and helped develop future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino. His coaching staff during that period also included future national championship-winning coach Jimmy Johnson and future NFL head coach Dave Wannstedt. In 1982, Sherrill moved to Texas A&M, where he transformed the Aggies into a Southwest Conference (SWC) powerhouse. Texas A&M captured three consecutive SWC championships from 1985-87, while Sherrill established the famed “12th Man Kickoff Team” tradition that remains part of Aggie football culture today. He earned three consecutive SWC Coach of the Year honors during that championship run. After arriving at Mississippi State in 1991, Sherrill undertook one of the most impressive rebuilding projects in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). He inherited a program that had not enjoyed a winning season since 1986 and proceeded to guide the Bulldogs to six bowl appearances, an SEC Western Division title in 1998 and a top-15 national finish in 1999. His 75 victories remain the most by any head coach in Mississippi State history. “Receiving an award that bears Coach Bryant’s name is truly special,” said Sherrill. “Coach Bryant shaped my life as a player, a coach and a person. I’ve always believed that success is measured by the people you help develop and the relationships you build along the way. I’m deeply honored and humbled by this recognition.” The Lifetime Achievement Award is one of five honors presented annually during the Paul “Bear” Bryant Awards ceremony, presented by Memorial Hermann Health System in Houston Texas. This year’s ceremony, in its 41st year, will be held on Wednesday, January 27 in Houston and will air on the CBS Sports Network. Bruce Arians was previously announced as the recipient of this year’s Heart of a Champion Award. In addition, the Fan Favorite, Newcomer Coach of the Year, and 2026 Paul “Bear” Bryant National Coach of the Year will be awarded that evening. The Paul “Bear” Bryant Awards support the American Heart Association by raising funds and awareness to advance lifesaving research and improve cardiovascular health.

This spirit of service was demonstrated by the Kenya Air Force Parade Team, currently deployed in Eldoret for national parade duties ahead of Mashujaa Day celebrations at Kipchoge Keino Stadium, through a humanitarian outreach to Jawabu Rehabilitation Centre. The initiative, undertaken under the KDF Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) framework, was coordinated by Warrant Officer Class Two (WO2) Emanuel Kolil and WO2 Mark Mutai. The team donated foodstuffs and essential personal items, while engaging the children through mentorship, encouragement and moments of shared joy. The personnel also recognised the dedication of the centre’s management, caregivers and staff in providing care, rehabilitation and support to vulnerable children. Despite a demanding schedule of parade rehearsals, air display preparations and ceremonial drills, the team took time to extend a helping hand, demonstrating that the true spirit of military service is reflected not only in operational excellence and discipline, but also in humanity, compassion and selfless service. Warmly received by the children and staff, the outreach reinforced the KDF’s enduring commitment to community welfare, strengthened civil-military relations and underscored the importance of leaving a positive impact beyond the call of duty. As the nation prepares to celebrate Mashujaa Day, the initiative serves as a reminder that heroism is expressed not only through courage and sacrifice in defence of the nation, but also through acts of kindness that restore hope, uphold dignity and transform lives.

Mr. Cairoli is a nine-time Motocross World Champion and a Ducati test rider. He will support the Company in developing and applying its graphene engine oil additive, G® LUBRICANT, in the motorcycle and off-road sectors. GMG is also pleased to announce that it will exhibit at EICMA 2026, the 83rd International Two-Wheeler Exhibition. The show runs from 3 to 8 November 2026 at Fiera Milano Rho, Milan, Italy. GMG's stand is in Hall 9-11, Stand Q58. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/319627_dcc0f8fa9469cb0e_001full.jpg BRAND AMBASSADOR PROGRAM The collaboration centres on G® LUBRICANT, a graphene liquid concentrate engine oil additive designed to reduce friction and improve engine efficiency, with the aim of improving performance, lowering fuel consumption and emissions. Mr. Cairoli will share what he has learned competing at the top level of motocross. His input will help guide the product's development towards the needs of off-road use and, in the future, racing. The program will start with Mr. Cairoli using and evaluating G® LUBRICANT in his own compatible vehicles in everyday use away from the racetrack. His feedback and discussions with GMG's technical team are expected to inform further product development. The aim is to bring solutions to the off-road market once they have been validated for their intended uses. ABOUT G® LUBRICANT AND TEST RESULTS G® LUBRICANT is added to mineral or synthetic engine oil in a 1:100 dosage. Management believes the graphene in G® LUBRICANT helps protect contacting metal surfaces and reduces friction and wear. Its thermal conductivity also supports heat dissipation within the engine. In various tests reported by GMG, G® LUBRICANT has shown: fuel consumption reductions of up to 10% nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions reductions of up to 27% particulate emissions reductions of up to 33% coefficient of friction reductions of up to 30% These results come from different tests and vary with engine type and operating conditions. Separately, the University of Queensland has verified a fuel efficiency increase of up to 8.4% in a diesel engine, as announced in February 2025. Further testing and validation are needed for off-road and racing applications. COMMENTS: Antonio Cairoli, GMG Brand Ambassador, commented: "I'm delighted to be part of this project. From the moment Vincenzo Tirotta introduced me to GMG's technology, graphene and its properties, I was excited by the project and wanted to get involved. I want to share my experience with the team and help GMG develop a product that can become a benchmark in our sport too. Today, we still use engines powered by fuels that generate emissions. The opportunity to help reduce their impact while also working to improve efficiency and performance is something that really motivates me. We will start with my personal vehicles, with the aim of applying what we learn to the development of solutions for off-road use and, in the future, competition." Vincenzo Tirotta, GMG Business Development - Italy, commented: "It has been a privilege to introduce Antonio to GMG and our graphene technology. Antonio is one of the most respected riders in motocross history, and his technical knowledge and commitment to excellence make him an ideal partner for GMG. Italy has one of the strongest motorcycle cultures and industries in the world, and EICMA is the leading event for our sector. We look forward to welcoming riders, enthusiasts, distributors and manufacturers to the GMG stand to meet Antonio and the A-Team, and to discuss how G® LUBRICANT can support the motorcycle and off-road market." Craig Nicol, CEO & Managing Director of the Company, commented: "We are very pleased to welcome Antonio Cairoli to GMG as Brand Ambassador. Antonio's experience at the highest level of motocross gives our technical team a unique perspective on what riders and engines need in demanding off-road conditions. We look forward to working with Antonio to develop G® LUBRICANT for the motorcycle sector and to introducing him to visitors at EICMA 2026." Jack Perkowski, Non-Executive Chairman and Director of the Company, commented: "Antonio Cairoli's appointment as Brand Ambassador is an important step in building GMG's presence in the motorcycle sector. Working with a rider of Antonio's standing, together with independent testing programs such as the A-Team's, gives GMG valuable real-world feedback to support the development of G® LUBRICANT for new applications. The Board is pleased to see GMG continue to build its commercial foundations in Europe and to engage with the global motorcycle industry at EICMA 2026." EICMA 2026 Mr. Cairoli will attend the GMG stand (Hall 9-11, Stand Q58) to hold an autograph session and present his new collaboration with the Company. Visitors to the stand, including enthusiasts, industry professionals, distributors and manufacturers, can meet GMG's senior management and Company representatives, learn about GMG's graphene products, and discuss potential technical and commercial collaborations. A-Team Motocross Testing Program Under a separate development program, Massimo Fogliaro's A-Team will begin testing G® LUBRICANT in motocross. The team will evaluate how the product performs under competition conditions and provide feedback to support its technical development. The GMG stand at EICMA will also host the presentation of A-Team and its new Honda prototype, where visitors can see the motorcycle and talk to the team about the testing. The A-Team program is an independent initiative between A-Team and GMG, with its own testing and development program. Through these activities, GMG is building its presence in the motorcycle sector. The Company is combining its advanced materials research with rider experience, team expertise and market needs.

GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications. The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving coating) which is now being marketed into other applications including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres. Another product GMG has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines. GMG has also developed a graphene water based coolant additive focused on increasing heat transfer and reducing bacterial growth in cooling water circuits. In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene ion batteries. GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed at improving the performance of lithium-ion batteries. GMG's 4 critical business objectives are: Produce Graphene and improve/scale cell production processes Build Revenue from Energy Savings Products Develop Next-Generation Battery Develop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution Capability For further information, please contact: Craig Nicol, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of the Company at craig.nicol@graphenemg.com.

She joined in 2016 as its first media monitoring specialist. Today, APO Group guarantees visibility in all 54 African markets, and Mala has helped make that visibility measurable.

The experience has been incredibly rewarding." Performance only counts when it can be proven. From the start, Mala built the expertise in search criteria and reporting that tracks client coverage and evidence results across the continent. She has adapted to every new system and service as the business evolved into an integrated model of strategic advisory, local execution and owned distribution. "There have been challenging periods, but those moments pushed me to become more flexible, to keep learning and to step outside my comfort zone," she says. "They gave me the confidence to handle new challenges." APO Group builds performance through its people, giving them opportunities to learn, take on new responsibilities and grow their careers. For Mala, this has included training and professional development initiatives that helped her build new skills, broaden her perspective and expand her role.

Her experience helps the team resolve questions quickly, keep work moving and deliver reliable reporting for APO Group's clients.  Mala has also helped shape the team around her, sharing the search and reporting expertise she has built over the past decade. Pooja Sanga, Team Leader of the Media Monitoring Team, says: “Mala is meticulous about process and highly skilled at search criteria. She is down to earth and approachable. She answers our questions quickly because of her depth of knowledge. That reliability makes a huge difference every day.” Loanette Boshoff, Chief People Officer at APO Group, says: "Ten years is a choice Mala has made every single year. She could have taken her talent anywhere, and she kept bringing it to APO Group. People stay where they feel trusted, respected and able to grow. Our job is to be that place, for Mala and for everyone who joins us." Looking ahead, Mala is excited about the role that technology, training and people will play in the team's next chapter. "Ten years went quickly," she says. "I value the journey and the people who supported me. I'm looking forward to what comes next." Bas Wijne, Chief Executive Officer of APO Group, says Mala's decade with the company shows the strategic value of experience and institutional knowledge.

Mr Ayuk is the Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber (AEC), the leading voice of the African energy sector, representing the interests of energy companies, service providers, ministries and public authorities across the continent. Under his leadership, the AEC has become the principal convening platform for the African energy industry, connecting international majors, national oil companies, independent power producers (IPPs), regulators, ministries and investors around the industrialisation and financing of Africa's energy sector. A prolific author and one of the most recognised voices on African energy policy, Mr Ayuk has published widely on the industrialisation of the African energy sector, the case for financing African oil and gas development as an economic engine for the continent, and the pursuit of a just energy transition on Africa's terms. His books include Big Barrels: African Oil and Gas and the Quest for Prosperity and A Just Transition: Making Energy Poverty History with an Energy Mix, both of which have shaped the continental debate on energy, industry and development. His appointment to the ACG Advisory Board reflects a shared strategic vision between the African Energy Chamber and ACG: the conviction that Africa's long-term development depends on the industrialisation of its core sectors — energy, infrastructure, and increasingly sport and entertainment — through pan-African, financially sustainable and continentally owned models. Where the African Energy Chamber has led the case for the industrialisation of Africa's energy sector on Africa's terms, ACG is applying the same doctrine to the sport and entertainment sector, moving it from a fragmented, project-by-project logic to an ecosystem approach centred on bankable, mixed-use district models. His appointment brings to the ACG Advisory Board a rare combination of energy and infrastructure sector leadership, cross-continental government and regulatory relationships, deep transactional and legal expertise in the origination and structuring of complex African projects, and a public voice consistently aligned with the industrialisation agenda that underpins ACG's own strategic framework. "NJ Ayuk brings to our Advisory Board a genuine strategic alignment. For years, he has led the case for the industrialisation of Africa's energy sector on Africa's terms — a doctrine that maps directly onto what ACG is now applying to the sport and entertainment sector. Both agendas share the same conviction: that Africa's long-term prosperity depends on building continental industries through pan-African, financially sustainable, and continentally owned models. His presence on our Advisory Board strengthens ACG's capacity to originate and deliver projects that fit within a coherent, continent-wide industrialisation logic," said Nicolas Pompigne-Mognard (www.Pompigne-Mognard.com), Founder and Executive Chairman of ACG. The ACG Advisory Board provides strategic guidance as ACG originates and structures large-scale sport and entertainment district projects across the continent, aligning governments, development finance institutions (DFIs), investors, sport bodies and infrastructure partners to support the development of financially sustainable, mixed-use district ecosystems. Africa's sport economy is projected to reach $20 billion by 2035, yet the continent continues to lack the integrated district ecosystems required to support large-scale development. ACG addresses this gap by originating bankable sport and entertainment district projects, moving beyond single-venue development models towards mixed-use, revenue-generating and financially sustainable district ecosystems. Through its collaborative model, ACG convenes governments, PPP authorities and regulators, development finance institutions, private investors, developers, designers and engineers, legal and transaction advisors, operators, sport federations and leagues, event promoters, media and broadcast partners, academic institutions and host communities, creating structured pathways from concept to feasibility, bankability and delivery.

The upcoming launch will introduce Green Choice Proteins' Australian-made plant protein powders to U.S. consumers through an online retail platform. The company views OneLavi as an important first step in a broader expansion strategy that also includes a planned Amazon launch and opportunities for additional retail distribution. "Making Green Choice Proteins available to American consumers is something we've been working toward, and OneLavi represents an exciting first step," said Puneet Chawla, Founder of Green Choice Proteins. "We want to introduce our approach to plant-based nutrition to a new audience, with products that combine quality ingredients, enjoyable flavors, and the convenience people look for in their everyday routines." Three Plant Protein Flavors Coming to OneLavi Green Choice Proteins plans to introduce three of its plant-based protein powders on OneLavi, each developed around the company's commitment to ingredient transparency, flavor, and functional daily nutrition. Chocolate Flavored Protein Powder - Plant-Based Protein 35.3g plant protein per serving Made with Australian-grown pea and faba Features pure cocoa powder and coconut milk powder Contains omega-3 from linseed No artificial colours, flavours, or fillers Vanilla Flavored Protein Powder - Plant Based Protein 34.9g plant protein per serving Designed for smoothies, oats, baking, and everyday nutrition routines Made using Australian-grown plant proteins Includes omega-3 from linseed Clean vanilla flavor profile without artificial additives Salted Caramel Flavored Protein Powder - Plant Based Protein 34.9g plant protein per serving Combines caramel sweetness with balanced salted notes Made using Australian-grown pea and faba Includes omega-3 from linseed No artificial colours, flavours, or fillers All three products are manufactured in Victoria, Australia, and reflect the company's approach to creating plant-based nutrition products that can be incorporated into everyday lifestyles. Building on U.S. Retail Expansion The OneLavi announcement follows Green Choice Proteins' participation in the September 2026 ECRM Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition Session in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, where the company introduced its Australian-made products and brand philosophy to U.S. retail buyers. The company's U.S. strategy combines direct consumer availability through e-commerce with ongoing efforts to develop relationships across additional retail channels. Green Choice Proteins has also announced plans to bring its products to Amazon, providing another potential avenue for reaching consumers as its U.S. presence grows. "Our goal is to build Green Choice Proteins in the United States step by step," added Chawla. "OneLavi gives us an opportunity to begin reaching consumers directly, while our recent ECRM participation and plans for Amazon are part of a larger effort to introduce the brand across multiple retail channels." Australian-Made Nutrition for Everyday Lifestyles Green Choice Proteins develops plant-based nutrition products intended to fit into a wide range of daily routines, from breakfast smoothies and oatmeal to baking and other convenient meal options. Rather than focusing exclusively on traditional sports nutrition audiences, the company emphasizes the broader appeal of plant protein for consumers interested in clean-label ingredients, transparency, and practical everyday nutrition. The family-owned business also places importance on responsible sourcing and Australian manufacturing, incorporating plant proteins derived from Australian-grown crops into its formulations. With its first U.S. consumer launch approaching, Green Choice Proteins plans to continue introducing its products and brand philosophy to American consumers while pursuing additional opportunities for retail growth.

For years, Africa has been known for its growth story. Investment has flowed, new tech has been  growing fast, and a young, active population has inspired hope for the future.  Women’s football now offers another lens through which to consider that progress.  Following the conclusion of the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Rabat, Casablanca and Fez, the question is what happens next: whether the momentum generated by the tournament can translate into sustained investment in women’s football, stronger structures and more opportunities for the next generation of players. This tournament was much more than sport. It was a moment to spotlight gender equality, inclusion, and the changing role of women in African sports. For too long, women’s sports have been seen as charity projects or CSR boxes to tick; not real investments. That’s changing. Stadiums are filling, fans are showing up, and real money is finally coming in. The message is clear: women’s football is no longer a side issue; it’s a huge opportunity Africa can’t afford to ignore. Global revenues from women’s sports are expected to reach at least $3 billion in 2026, an increase of 340% in four years (https://apo-opa.co/3U7pm41). In Africa, the true value is still unknown. Most of the investment comes from sports associations, governments, and a handful of sponsors. Ticket sales and big broadcast deals are exceptions, not the rule. So women’s sports here are half-in, half-out: there’s new investment, but plenty of hurdles remain. Some progress has been made, however. This year, the Confederation of African Football doubled Women’s Africa Cup of Nations prize money to $5.8 million, with $2 million for the winners. Last year, Nigeria’s NWFL Premiership landed its biggest private investment, a ten-year, ₦20 billion partnership, while South Africa’s Women’s League secured a R17 million naming rights deal. The Women’s Africa Cup of Nations featured 16 teams, and money from TV and sponsors went up by 40%. Matches were shown on more than one hundred channels. Real interest grew across the continent. Africa’s fans,  young and energetic, followed their teams on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Despite the progress and growing support from fans,  challenges remain. Top female players are leaving for Europe or the US, where their skills are valued and rewarded. Without money from TV deals or steady support from local fans, women’s sports here will keep relying on outside help and quick fixes. In South Africa, a few years ago, women’s national team players earned just a tenth of what the men did. The gap is closing, but it’s not gone. Women are still few in sports leadership roles, and coaching jobs mostly go to men. But pioneers like South Africa’s Desiree Ellis and Kenya’s Beldine Odemba show what’s possible when women get a real shot: excellence follows. Mentorship is central to that possibility. Behind every player and coach who broke through, there was almost always someone who opened a door, offered guidance, or made room at the table. Formal mentorship programmes, pairing rising talent with experienced players, coaches, and administrators, gave young women a clearer path into leadership roles that had long been closed to them. To turn potential into progress, more is needed than just a few stars. Governments, sports bodies, and private investors must team up by building partnerships, investing in training grounds, leadership, mentorship, and the kind of infrastructure that lasts. The private sector can’t afford to sit this out. New models like sportswomen-driven content, streaming platforms, and direct fan engagement can break old barriers. Organisations like Tibu Africa, a leading NGO empowering young people through sport, show how football can drive wider social change by building opportunities and breaking down barriers. Their work reminds us that every girl deserves a shot at the game and demonstrates the impact that partnerships between the private sector, government, and civil society can have. Governments must make investing in women’s sports worthwhile, guarantee fairness, and keep things transparent. Regional bodies should align standards, share resources, and channel funds into grassroots development. And media matters too: having more women on camera or working behind the scenes changes opinions and gives new role models the chance to shine. TotalEnergies’ partnership with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) is more than a sponsorship. It’s a commitment to building African football from the grassroots up, creating lasting opportunities for players, fans, and communities. Supporting CAF helps raise the visibility of women’s football and strengthens the sport as a force for unity and inclusion across the continent. This investment reflects an alignment of values: sustainable development, community empowerment, and celebrating Africa’s potential. If Africa misses this window, old gaps will widen, and the chance to lead in women’s sports could be lost. But if we step up now, the rewards are huge: jobs, tourism, and growth everywhere you look. This tournament is more than a trophy. It’s a test of whether Africa will build up its talent or watch it leave. The final whistle will pick a winner, but what happens next will show whether Africa is ready to make women’s football central to its future.

The new availability gives American consumers an additional online retail destination to discover and purchase PhenQ while supporting Wolfson Group's broader effort to build a diversified retail and e-commerce presence across the United States. PhenQ is part of Wolfson Group's portfolio of consumer wellness brands and focuses on the weight management category. The brand is designed for adults interested in incorporating weight management products into their broader health and lifestyle routines. "Weight management continues to be an important area of consumer wellness, and expanding access to PhenQ is part of our commitment to serving that market," said the founder and CEO of Wolfson Group. "Making the brand available through OneLavi gives U.S. consumers another way to find PhenQ as we continue building our retail presence." The expansion comes as conversations around weight management increasingly extend beyond individual products to include nutrition, physical activity, healthy habits and long-term lifestyle choices. Wolfson Group believes consumer education and accessibility are important considerations as the category continues to evolve. PhenQ is already available to U.S. consumers through Amazon. Its addition to One Lavi reflects Wolfson Group's strategy of developing multiple online retail relationships while continuing to explore opportunities across brick-and-mortar channels. The announcement follows Wolfson Group's participation in the September ECRM Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition Session in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, where the company introduced its multi-category wellness portfolio during scheduled retail meetings.

As part of KDF Day commemorations, personnel from 88 Artillery Battalion and the School of Artillery at Kampi ya Chumvi visited Wazo Huru Primary School, also known as Idéal Libre (Free Mind), in a gesture of solidarity and support for vulnerable learners. The school provides education and care to hundreds of children from disadvantaged backgrounds, supported by 56 teaching and non-teaching staff, including teachers, psychologists and other support personnel. It also operates a branch at Ngaremara offering boarding facilities for learners with special needs. Beyond academic development, the institution nurtures talent through art, music, athletics and chess, with some learners achieving national recognition despite financial and other socioeconomic challenges. Welcoming the delegation, the School Director, Mrs Mary Akuwam, expressed appreciation for the KDF’s continued support, particularly during rainy seasons when poor road conditions disrupt access to essential services. She noted that the engagement provided encouragement and renewed hope to learners facing difficult circumstances. The visit featured vibrant cultural performances, with pupils entertaining the service personnel through traditional dances and songs, creating an atmosphere of friendship, appreciation and shared community spirit. Leading the delegation, Major Wekesa reaffirmed the KDF’s commitment to meaningful community engagement, emphasising the importance of supporting vulnerable learners, nurturing their aspirations and strengthening civil-military relations. The outreach reflected the deeper significance of KDF Day as an occasion not only to honour military service and sacrifice but also to demonstrate compassion, solidarity and responsibility towards the communities the Defence Forces are mandated to protect. Through such engagements, the KDF continues to foster public trust, strengthen community partnerships and affirm that service to the nation extends beyond safeguarding its borders to positively impacting the lives of its people.

Over the four-day exhibition period, the two fairs attracted over 61,000 buyers from 141 countries and regions. Buyers from outside Hong Kong came mainly from the Chinese Mainland, India, Japan and the United States, among others, while buyer attendance from Kazakhstan, Brazil and other areas recorded encouraging growth, further reinforcing Hong Kong's role as an international trading hub and an important platform connecting global innovation and technology industries with international markets. This year's Electronics Fair focused on three highlighted themes: AI & Robotics, Smart Wellness and NEXTEntertainment, with related products showcased across various thematic zones. electronicAsia also featured dedicated zones presenting electronic components, display technologies, printed circuit boards, electronic manufacturing services, and testing and measuring equipment, creating a comprehensive one-stop sourcing marketplace for the electronics industry. Silas Chu, HKTDC Associate Executive Director, said: "This year's Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) and electronicAsia achieved a fruitful outcome, bringing together exhibitors, buyers, investors and industry players from around the world. The fairs generated strong sourcing momentum and facilitated numerous business deals and partnerships. As the industry continues to transform and upgrade, the role of trade fairs is also evolving, extending beyond traditional product showcases and sourcing activities to become important platforms for fostering innovation, industry exchange and cross-sector collaboration, while reinforcing Hong Kong's strengths as an international trade centre. The newly introduced Future Industries Zone attracted strong interest from technology companies, investors and buyers, while the GoGlobal Connect Zone and its related activities were also well received, reflecting strong demand from Chinese Mainland enterprises seeking to expand overseas and leverage Hong Kong's professional services. This highlights our city's unique role as a bridge connecting industries with global markets." Mr Chu added: "As Hong Kong's October exhibition season continues, the HKTDC will organise a series of major exhibitions and conferences, including the Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition), Hong Kong International Outdoor and Tech Light Expo, and Eco Expo Asia later this month. These events will create more cross-industry collaboration opportunities while leveraging Hong Kong's unique advantage in connecting the Chinese Mainland with international markets. They also align with the Hong Kong SAR Government's latest Policy Address and first Five-Year Plan which emphasise accelerating innovation and technology development, promoting AI adoption and strengthening Hong Kong's position as an international trade centre." Survey: over 80% of respondents optimistic about ASEAN and Middle East markets; AI emerges as a key growth driver An independent research agency commissioned by the organisers interviewed over 1,150 buyers and exhibitors during the fairs. The survey found that 96% of respondents expected overall sales to increase or remain stable over the next 12 to 24 months, reflecting cautious optimism about the industry's medium-term market outlook. Respondents were particularly positive about future sales prospects in several areas, with the most promising growth opportunities identified in ASEAN (83%), the Middle East (83%) and Chinese Mainland  (81%). The findings suggest that companies are actively diversifying their business footprint and exploring new growth markets. The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to accelerate in the electronics industry, with 74% of surveyed companies already applying or planning to apply generative AI technologies. The main areas of application include product design and development, data analysis and reporting, sales and customer engagement, as well as marketing and content creation. Meanwhile, nearly 60% of respondents identified AI as the technology expected to have the greatest impact on the industry over the next two years. The two fairs featured more than 3,200 exhibitors from 15 countries and regions. The HKTDC organised 130 buying missions involving buyers from 65 countries and regions, including companies such as Samsung Electronics and SSG.com from Korea, Karimex, Stetsom and Mondial from Brazil; Mercado Libre from Argentina; Garni Technology, Varitec Corp and Pan Pacific International from Czechia; Reichelt Elektronik from Germany; Taç Elektronik from Turkey; and Pixel Electric Ltd from Kenya, further reinforcing Hong Kong's role as a platform connecting international markets with innovative supply chains. RoboPark and Future Industries Zone take centre stage RoboPark and the Future Industries Zone were among the major highlights of this year's fairs, showcasing the latest advancements in AI, robotics, and other frontier technologies. This year's fairs featured more than 120 robots, primarily showcased at RoboPark at the Electronics Fair, demonstrating practical applications across four key areas: commercial and service industries, industrial and logistics operations, entertainment and social interaction, and healthcare and rehabilitation. Leading robotics companies from the Chinese Mainland took part, including UBTECH, AgiBot and DEEP Robotics, showcasing the latest achievements in bringing robotics technologies from R&D to commercial deployment and real-world applications. Among the highlights was Booster Robotics, winner of the 2026 RoboCup World Championship, which showcased its championship-winning humanoid robot at the fairs. Yang Liuyang, APAC Sales Director of Booster Robotics, said: "We receive around 100 buyer visits every day from around the world, including Europe, Australia, and South American markets such as Brazil, Chile and Peru. This demonstrates the strong growth potential and commercial demand for humanoid robots in overseas markets. We are actively leveraging Hong Kong as a platform to expand our international business. We expect to appoint one to two distributors in Hong Kong this quarter, accelerating the commercialisation of our technologies and further expanding their applications in overseas markets." The newly launched Future Industries Zone spotlighted five key themes: Future Computing, Future Manufacturing, Future Marine & Quantum Technologies, Future Microelectronics, and Future Wellness. The zone brought together over 100 companies to showcase cutting-edge technologies and solutions. Among them was Hong Kong company Xeroptix Technology Limited, which presented core technologies serving as the "AI brain" for robots, offering integrated solutions spanning algorithms, software, hardware and chip design. Dr Steve Kong, Chief Technology Officer of Xeroptix Technology Limited, said the Future Industries Zone enabled innovation and technology companies to connect more effectively with industry partners while reaching investors, corporate users and international markets. During the exhibition, the company engaged with more than 50 potential clients from markets including Australia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe, many of whom expressed strong interest in its embodied AI technologies for robotics. “The exhibition has delivered encouraging results and is expected to generate potential orders worth over US$1 million,” Dr Kong said. Overseas exhibitors also leveraged the Autumn Electronics Fair to explore global business opportunities. First-time exhibitor Clevetura from Cyprus showcased its innovative input device that combines keyboard and touchpad functionalities, aiming to identify distribution partners and expand its international network. Co-founder Mike Krupenkov said: “Hong Kong serves as an important gateway to international markets. Through the fairs, we connected with a number of promising buyers from around the world, and the results have been highly encouraging.” The fairs brought together more than 120 young companies and start-ups, primarily located in the Startup Zone. Among them were numerous Hong Kong start-ups presenting their home-grown innovations to global markets. Hong Kong-based AI-powered news verification app developer Fliq achieved encouraging results in its debut participation. Its CEO and Co-founder Victor Nesteruk said: "Through the fairs, we connected with around 30 potential investors and business partners from markets including the Chinese Mainland, Brazil and Cyprus. We also arranged around 20 business meetings and secured two strategic cooperation opportunities. The fairs provide start-ups with an efficient platform to connect with international markets, and we will definitely participate again." In addition to business matching, the exhibition also helped start-ups explore business and fundraising opportunities through its Investment Matchmaking programme. Korea's Posco Investment attended the fair to explore strategic investment opportunities. The company's typical investment size for each project is around US$750,000. Olivia Park, Venture Capital Manager of Posco Investment, said: "We met with three to five high-potential technology companies and are currently conducting further due diligence and follow-up discussions with one start-up developing smart audio glasses for runners." The fairs featured numerous product debuts, with many companies choosing the platform to unveil their latest technologies and solutions to international buyers. Shenzhen-based VIGX Technology Co., Ltd. showcased the world's first pocket-sized AI-powered exoskeleton robot, overcoming the traditional limitations of bulky and cumbersome industrial exoskeletons. The product attracted strong interest from buyers, with nearly 1,000 visitors recorded during the first two days of the fair alone, including quality buyers from Europe, North America, and South American markets such as Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Wang Han, Overseas Sales Manager of VIGX, said: "The fair provides an ideal platform for us to showcase our latest innovations, accelerating the commercialisation of new technologies and their expansion into overseas markets. If market testing generates positive feedback, it could lead to volume purchases and potential orders worth around RMB1 million." Supporting Chinese Mainland enterprises in going global The HKTDC is one of the core members of the government-led GoGlobal Task Force. This year, the fairs featured the dedicated GoGlobal Connect Zone, offering support on financing, intellectual property, compliance, logistics and risk management to help Chinese Mainland enterprises leverage Hong Kong's international platform and professional services to connect with global markets. The zone received an enthusiastic response, attracting a large number of enquiries and registrations from businesses and professionals interested in expanding their overseas presence. At the same time, many Chinese Mainland technology companies actively used the fair as a springboard for global expansion Among them was Huahon Data Technology, a provider of liquid-cooled AI computing systems and AI solutions, which worked to actively expand its international presence through the fair, successfully connecting with buyers and business partners from Asia, the Middle East and Europe. The company's CEO, Luo Hua, said: "Our global expansion strategy goes beyond selling hardware products. We are committed to building a comprehensive AI ecosystem and providing overseas customers with integrated solutions covering hardware, platforms and applications." The company is actively advancing its international development plans and intends to establish a registered company in Hong Kong within the next one to two months, positioning the city as a key base for its global expansion. The exhibitor added: “The HKTDC not only helped us connect with overseas buyers, but also actively introduced us to banks and financial institutions, supporting our financing activities in Hong Kong and our overseas expansion efforts." Global buyers actively source innovative products The fair attracted buyers from around the world to Hong Kong to source innovative technologies and advanced electronic products, with vibrant business discussions taking place throughout the exhibition. Cizar Abughazaleh, CEO of Dubai-based Action to Action, a company specialising in robot procurement and integration solutions for a wide range of service projects, visited the fair to source robots designed for interactive learning and educational applications. He said: "The fair brings together robots for a wide range of applications in a designated showcase area, enabling buyers to efficiently connect with and compare suppliers. We have purchased a dancing robot and a larger humanoid robot designed for testing and evaluation, helping us explore further collaboration opportunities for future projects." In addition to buyers from the Middle East, the fair attracted buyers from emerging markets such as Africa and South America, who travelled to Hong Kong to source innovative products and technologies. Masibo Levy Wafula, Managing Director of Kenya-based robotics and intelligent systems supplier Pixel Electric, successfully identified manufacturers from the Chinese Mainland at the fair and plans to procure smart metering and automation solutions worth around US$100,000 to support the upgrading of his business. Meanwhile, Fabio Marqui, Foreign Trade Manager of Hayamax, a major electronics wholesaler and distributor in Brazil as well as Toshiba's distributor in the country, said that in addition to finalising a US$200,000 order with an existing business partner during the visit, he had also held discussions with a number of new suppliers from Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and Taiwan, and expects to establish around four new business collaborations. His experience highlights the fair's strong appeal in bringing together global buyers and quality suppliers, while underscoring Hong Kong's unique role as a vital gateway connecting the Chinese Mainland with international markets. Over 100 events and 180+ international experts drive industry exchange More than 100 events were organised during the fairs, including forums, robotics demonstrations and performances. Over 180 industry leaders, experts and business representatives from around the world shared their insights. Among the highlights was a series of well-attended sessions focusing on GoGlobal activities with representatives from Hang Seng Bank, the Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation and other financial and professional service organisations examining key considerations for overseas expansion, including financing, risk management and business planning. Meanwhile, speakers from OCBC Bank (Hong Kong) shared the latest developments in ASEAN’s manufacturing ecosystem and corporate expansion strategies, providing practical insights for businesses seeking opportunities in the region. In addition, a wide range of forum sessions explored topics such as AI applications, digital transformation, industrial upgrading and cross-border business opportunities, attracting strong participation from industry professionals and reflecting keen market interest in innovation and emerging business opportunities. The RoboPark also featured exciting robot football matches, robot street dance performances and other live demonstrations, vividly showcasing the latest developments in real-world robotics applications. These activities added energy and a vibrant technology atmosphere to the fair, drawing large crowds of buyers and visitors. The two fairs continued to adopt the EXHIBITION+ hybrid format, combining physical exhibitions with online business matching. In addition to attending the physical fairs, exhibitors and buyers also had access to the Click2Match smart business matching platform to conduct online meetings and sourcing activities. The online editions of both the Electronics Fair and electronicAsia will remain open until 23 October, extending business matching and collaboration opportunities worldwide.

Or that the Cowboys will finally make a Super Bowl run? On prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket, you can trade on that outcome, and sports have quickly become the main event. Sports constituted ~82% of Kalshi's U.S. prediction volume in the last twelve months, according to an August report from industry research firm Eilers & Krejcik. The category is also growing fast. The report estimates that total monthly U.S. prediction market contract volume reached 49.0bn contracts in July 2026, representing growth of approximately 49x versus 0.9bn in August 2025. Prediction markets are catching up to traditional sportsbooks, too. Per Eilers & Krejcik, U.S. sports prediction market handle-analog accounted for 30% of combined prediction market and online sports betting handle in June 2026, up from 1-2% just one year ago. Handle-analog is the prediction-market equivalent of the total amount wagered. What Are Prediction Markets, And Why Now? Prediction markets let people buy and sell contracts tied to real-world outcomes. Kalshi and Polymarket are regulated by the CFTC, the federal agency that oversees futures trading, rather than by state gaming regulators. That gives them reach into states where regulated sports betting remains unavailable. In other words, prediction markets aren't just taking share from sportsbooks. They're bringing in new states and new customers. Even major sportsbook operators, including FanDuel and DraftKings, are building their own prediction market products and treating the category as an expansion lane. The money is following. U.S. prediction market app downloads reached a peak of more than 6 million in June 2026, led by Kalshi and Polymarket, according to Eilers & Krejcik. The firm also points to exchange fundraising targets implying valuations of up to $40 billion. Where Sportradar Fits Every one of those contracts has to settle against something: the official result of the game. That's where Sportradar (NASDAQ: SRAD) comes in. If you've watched live odds shift on a sportsbook app mid-game, that's the kind of real-time data Sportradar provides. The company has spent decades building the data, live odds, fan engagement, customer acquisition capabilities and integrity tools behind sports betting and media. Prediction markets need the same toolkit. "We see prediction markets as a natural extension of our core business and a significant opportunity where Sportradar is uniquely positioned to lead, given our premium content, global scale and unmatched product portfolio," said Carsten Koerl, Founder and CEO, Sportradar. "Prediction markets expand the U.S. total addressable market (TAM) by opening up new states, attracting new players, and increasing engagement with sports, all of which should drive higher revenue over time." Why It Matters Three things stand out: Official data is the must-have. Every prediction market contract settles on the official result, and participants need that data in real time. Sportradar says decades of powering sports betting through official league partnerships give Sportradar some of the broadest and deepest sports content in the industry. Prediction markets need the same solutions. The heavy lifting is already done. Sportradar reports its infrastructure, technology, sports rights and industry relationships are already in place for sports betting. Serving prediction markets means applying what it has already built to new customers, so it can scale into the opportunity efficiently. Its market grows as the ecosystem does. Sportradar can sell beyond the exchanges to the market makers and brokers now entering the space. Those players need fast, reliable data to keep trading liquid, price contracts efficiently, and settle trades. As more of them arrive, Sportradar's opportunity grows with them. It's a classic "picks and shovels" setup. Importantly, Sportradar only works with authorized, registered, licensed operators and complies with all applicable regulations in every market where it operates. The Bottom Line Prediction markets show how Sportradar can adapt to where sports fans are heading and extend its technology beyond traditional sports betting. As the prediction markets boom plays out, Sportradar's model doesn't depend on which platform comes out on top. To learn more about how Sportradar powers prediction markets, click here.

(Nasdaq: BIOT) (“BIOT” or the “Company”), a Japan-based developer, manufacturer and seller of stem-cell-based and regenerative-medicine-related cosmetics and health products, today announced unaudited results for the six months ended May 31, 2026 (“1H FY2026”) of Instinct Bio Technical Company Inc. and its four Japanese operating subsidiaries (the “Operating Group”), which became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company on July 23, 2026. The interim financial statements, reviewed by Morison LC PLT, and management’s discussion and analysis are furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K today. Results exclude the Company’s predecessor, Relativity Holdings Inc., and business combination costs. Comparisons are with the six months ended May 31, 2025. 1H FY2026 Highlights Revenue of USD 1,142,598, up 4.7% (up 9.8% in yen terms, from JPY 163.7 million to JPY 179.8 million). OEM/ODM revenue (83.4% of total) up 6.5% and Value Village e-commerce revenue up 12.2%, both in yen terms. Gross margin of 72.6% (1H FY2025: 79.7%), reflecting a smaller inventory build, new imported purchases and higher manufacturing overhead. Administrative expenses down 30.1% to USD 741,691, mainly as approximately USD 208,000 of listing-related fees expensed in 1H FY2025 did not recur. Profit after tax of USD 90,251 (1H FY2025: loss of USD 206,817). Largest customer’s share of revenue fell to 34.8% from 51.7% as new OEM/ODM, export and Value Athlete customers were added. Net cash used in operating activities of USD 12,323 (1H FY2025: USD 371,404). Cash of USD 25,565 at May 31, 2026; no bank borrowings. Management Commentary “This is the first set of results we have reported since completing our Nasdaq listing in July. Until now, investors have had little visibility into who we are as a management team and what our business actually does. We chose to report our first half now, and will continue to report every six months, so that shareholders can judge us on facts: revenue grew almost 10% in yen terms, we returned to profit, and our customer base is broader than a year ago. We are not satisfied with our gross margin or cash position, and improving both is our priority for the second half,” said Tomoki Nagano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Each of the initiatives we announced since July - our U.S. collaboration with INVITRX, our Indonesian product partnership, the GENREVER Clinic in Jakarta and our IN01 representation - is progressing on schedule. Our target is to have them operational by the end of calendar 2026, with revenue contribution beginning in fiscal 2027.” Financial Position and Liquidity At May 31, 2026, total assets were USD 4,080,414, total liabilities USD 1,994,227 and total equity USD 2,086,187 (November 30, 2025: total assets USD 2,994,989, total liabilities USD 952,394 and total equity USD 2,042,595). The increases from November 30, 2025 were driven mainly by other receivables and prepayments, including advances to related parties, and by other payables, including borrowings from directors and related parties. Cash and bank balances were USD 25,565 (November 30, 2025: USD 124,764). The Operating Group’s liquidity depends on collecting receivables, including from related parties, continued support from directors and related parties, and obtaining additional financing as needed. The directors have concluded that the Operating Group has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Form 6-K. Overseas Initiatives The following initiatives, announced between July and September 2026, did not contribute to 1H FY2026 revenue. All are targeted to be operational within calendar 2026, with revenue contribution expected from fiscal 2027, subject to definitive agreements, regulatory approvals and partner performance.

Yet 2 in 3 people still mistakenly believe only those with special training should perform CPR, a misconception that costs lives.[1] Today, on World Restart a Heart Day, the American Heart Association's Nation of Lifesavers™ initiative is challenging communities everywhere to make lifesaving action a social norm by helping more people realize they have the power and ability to step in during a cardiac emergency. You don't need to be a medical professional; you just need to be willing. If you see a teen or adult who has suddenly collapsed and is not breathing normally, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest until help arrives. Each year, more than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital in the United States, and approximately 90% of people who experience these events do not survive.[2] Survival often depends on how quickly people nearby recognize the emergency, call 911, begin CPR and use an automated external defibrillator (AED)[3]. "Too many people hesitate during a cardiac emergency because they believe lifesaving action should be left to medical professionals," said Manesh R. Patel, M.D., FAHA, volunteer president of the American Heart Association, chief of cardiology and pharmacology at Duke University School of Medicine. "World Restart a Heart Day is a reminder that parents, neighbors, coworkers, friends and family members are often the first people on the scene. We want to create a culture where everyone has the best chance to survive because everyone is prepared - and confident - to step in and provide CPR.” The American Heart Association, a relentless force changing the future of health for everyone everywhere, is encouraging communities to join the Nation of Lifesavers on World Restart a Heart Day and create a culture where everyone has the best chance of survival. Learn CPR. Watch a short CPR demonstration video or take a CPR course to gain the skills and confidence to act during an emergency. CPR is not just a skill for medical professionals. Research shows that children as young as 9 can learn CPR, making it a valuable skill for the whole family[4] Share CPR stories. Stories from survivors, rescuers and families affected by sudden cardiac arrest can inspire others to learn CPR. The Nation of Lifesavers CPR Storytelling Platform showcases CPR stories and demonstrates the difference one person can make. Share your own CPR story and apply to be a part of the 2027 Nation of Lifesavers Class, a group of survivors and rescuers, committed to sharing their stories and raising awareness. Advocate for a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan (or CERP). Every workplace, school, sports facility and community organization should be prepared for a cardiac emergency. A CERP is a written and practiced site-specific plan that outlines exactly how an organization should respond during a cardiac emergency. CERPs help ensure staff and volunteers know their roles, understand how to activate emergency medical services, begin CPR and access an AED quickly. Make CPR part of your community’s culture by sharing resources and volunteering with friends, family and coworkers. Encouraging others to learn CPR and understand how to use an AED helps create communities where more people are ready to respond when needed. Each year World Restart a Heart Day reinforces the American Heart Association's vision of creating communities where lifesaving skills and preparedness are the norm.  The long-term goal of the Nation of Lifesavers initiative is to ensure that in the face of a cardiac emergency, anyone, anywhere, is prepared and empowered to perform CPR.

The Amazon launch follows a series of U.S. expansion initiatives for AgeReverse, including the company’s recent participation in the ECRM Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition Session in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. With RESURGE now available through one of the country’s largest online marketplaces, AgeReverse is expanding consumer access while continuing to introduce its broader science-first approach to healthy aging. “Making RESURGE available on Amazon is an important milestone for AgeReverse because it gives consumers across the United States convenient access to our first product in the market,” said Kubi Turkmen, Founder and CEO of AgeReverse. “We are building AgeReverse around a comprehensive view of healthy aging, and RESURGE represents the internal wellness component of that larger vision.” AgeReverse developed RESURGE around the scientific concept of the 12 Hallmarks of Aging, a framework used by researchers to describe interconnected biological processes associated with aging. Rather than focusing on a single ingredient or isolated wellness benefit, the company designed RESURGE as a multi-ingredient formulation intended to support multiple aspects of healthy aging and everyday wellness. The 90-capsule formulation combines ingredients including NMN, Resveratrol, Quercetin, Fisetin, CoQ10, Astragalus Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Aronia Extract and Noni Berry into a simplified three-capsule daily regimen. Key features and benefits of RESURGE include: Designed to support all 12 Hallmarks of Aging through a comprehensive longevity-focused formulation Combines ingredients including NMN, Resveratrol, Quercetin, Fisetin, CoQ10, Astragalus Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Aronia Extract, and Noni Berry Provides antioxidant support to help protect cells from oxidative stress and free radical damage Supports nutrient metabolism and overall cellular health Helps support cardiovascular health and immune system function Supports collagen formation, connective tissue development, and skin quality Helps maintain healthy joints, cartilage, bones, gums, and connective tissue Includes herbal ingredients traditionally used as capillary and blood vessel protectants Consolidates what the company describes as 15+ supplement protocols into a simplified 3-capsule daily routine Manufactured in GMP-certified facilities in Ontario, Canada using vegan capsules Registered as a Natural Health Product with Health Canada The Amazon availability also advances a broader AgeReverse strategy that extends beyond nutritional wellness. The company is developing a complete range of healthy aging products and technologies intended to address both internal wellness and external skin aging. The planned AgeReverse product range includes a Bioage Test, daily skincare products developed around the 12 Hallmarks of Aging, professional mesotherapy products for the medical aesthetics and medspa markets, and non-invasive mesotherapy technology designed to deliver skincare formulations without needles. “Our vision has always extended beyond one product,” Turkmen added. “We believe healthy aging should be approached from both inside and outside the body. RESURGE gives U.S. consumers an introduction to that philosophy, and Amazon gives us an important channel for building awareness and accessibility as the AgeReverse product range grows.” AgeReverse is positioning its expanding portfolio around a science-first philosophy aimed at men and women interested in longevity, healthy aging, cellular wellness and maintaining vitality as they age. The company plans to serve both consumers and professionals in the medical aesthetics market as additional products are introduced. RESURGE is now available to U.S. consumers on Amazon. AgeReverse plans to continue expanding its product range and U.S. presence as additional products become available. Visit the AgeReverse Website and follow the company on Instagram and LinkedIn.

The upcoming OneLavi availability will provide U.S. consumers with an opportunity to discover AINA Natural Water, a premium drinking water sourced from Northern Finland and offered in an alternative to traditional single-use plastic bottles. "Bringing AINA to OneLavi is an important part of our plans to introduce the brand to American consumers," said Marita Weiman, Quality Assurance Manager at NWB Finland Oy. "We believe consumers will appreciate not only the natural characteristics of our water but also the convenience and sustainability considerations behind our packaging." Northern Finland's Natural Water, Packaged Differently AINA Natural Water originates in the Pudasjärvi region of Northern Finland, where groundwater is naturally filtered through layers of soil, sand and rock before undergoing mechanical filtration and packaging. With approximately 32 mg/L of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), AINA has a naturally low mineral profile that contributes to its soft, neutral taste and clean finish without an aftertaste. Unlike premium water brands that rely primarily on individual plastic bottles, AINA is packaged in 5-liter and 10-liter bag-in-box formats. These larger formats are designed to provide convenient access to drinking water while using substantially less plastic than comparable volumes packaged in individual plastic bottles. The packaging makes AINA suitable for a variety of everyday settings, including homes, offices, hospitality environments and gatherings. Bringing a Different Premium Water Experience to the U.S. NWB Finland Oy's U.S. introduction reflects the company's broader vision of making Northern Finland's natural groundwater available internationally while emphasizing practical, sustainability-focused packaging. The company also recently participated in the 2026 ECRM Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition Session in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, introducing AINA Natural Water and its packaging approach to U.S. retail buyers. "Our goal is to make AINA part of everyday life, not simply a water reserved for special occasions," Weiman said. "OneLavi will help us introduce that idea to consumers who are looking for quality, convenience and alternatives to traditional bottled-water packaging." The AINA Difference Northern Finland Source - Originates in the Pudasjärvi region of Northern Finland, an area known for its forests, natural landscapes, and groundwater resources. Naturally Filtered - Groundwater is naturally filtered through layers of soil, sand, and rock before being mechanically filtered and packaged. Measured Purity - Contains approximately 32 mg/L of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), contributing to a soft, clean taste profile. Clean Taste Profile - Naturally low mineral content helps provide a balanced drinking experience with no aftertaste. Naturally Low in Sodium - Contains only small amounts of sodium and dissolved minerals. Sustainability-Focused Packaging - Bag-in-box packaging uses substantially less plastic than traditional bottled-water formats. Additional details about AINA Natural Water's availability on OneLavi.com will be announced as the U.S. rollout progresses. About NWB Finland Oy NWB Finland Oy is a Finland-based company focused on sustainable beverage packaging and natural water solutions. Headquartered in Pudasjärvi, Finland, the company was founded with a mission to develop environmentally responsible alternatives to traditional beverage packaging while delivering premium-quality products to consumers around the world. Its flagship brand, AINA Natural Water, features naturally filtered groundwater sourced from Northern Finland, a region known for its pristine natural environment and abundant groundwater resources. The water is packaged in innovative bag-in-box formats designed to reduce plastic consumption while providing a convenient solution for households, businesses, hospitality venues, and events. NWB Finland Oy's long-term vision is to make Northern Finland's natural groundwater available to consumers globally while continuing to invest in sustainable packaging solutions that support both consumer needs and environmental responsibility. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Firefox partners with Anschutz Entertainment Group at the Uber Arena and Uber Eats Music Hall in Berlin 2026-10-15 · WebWire · Sports https://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=362870 Firefox is teaming up with AEG and taking to the main stage at Berlin's biggest and best indoor arenas.

TNT says fall offers an opportunity to do the opposite. Rather than allowing changing schedules, shorter days and the approaching holiday season to interrupt established fitness routines, athletes and active consumers can use the final months of the year to focus on consistency and enter January with momentum already established. "January gets a tremendous amount of attention in the fitness industry, but there's no reason to wait for a date on the calendar to get serious about your routine," said Markus Himmelstoss, Managing Director of TNT. "Fall can be a great time to reset, establish consistency and build habits that are already in place when the new year arrives." Fall Brings a Different Training Rhythm For many people, the transition from summer to fall changes how and when they train. Daylight hours become shorter, temperatures change, vacations end, school schedules return, and outdoor activities may begin shifting indoors. At the same time, the approaching holiday season can make regular training more difficult to maintain. TNT believes adapting to those changes is more useful than treating them as a reason to put fitness goals on hold until January. "Consistency doesn't mean every workout or every week has to look exactly the same," Himmelstoss said. "Schedules change. Seasons change. The important thing is finding a routine that works with those changes instead of continually stopping and starting." Building the Routine Before January The New Year's fitness surge has become an annual tradition, with January often associated with new gym memberships, new training programs and renewed attention to nutrition. TNT's message this fall is simple: the habits people hope to begin in January can start in October. Establishing a realistic training schedule during October, November and December can allow people to experiment with workout times, adjust routines and develop greater consistency before the calendar turns to a new year. That philosophy reflects TNT's broader approach to sports nutrition and training, which emphasizes supporting an active lifestyle over time rather than focusing on short-term trends. A Portfolio Built Around Active Lifestyles TNT's portfolio includes Creapure Creatine Monohydrate, CLEAR WHEY protein isolate, Synapsensause Pre-Workout, and Game Changer, its carbohydrate and electrolyte formulation. The German brand has built a customer base of more than 500,000 consumers and is now expanding its presence in the United States. Its recent ECRM participation was part of that effort, introducing U.S. retail buyers to TNT's broader portfolio while the company continues building awareness and distribution in the American market. "Whether someone trains year-round or is trying to get back into a routine, the fundamentals don't suddenly become important on January 1," Himmelstoss said. "Our message is to start where you are, build consistency and carry that momentum into the new year." TNT products are available to U.S. consumers through Amazon and OneLavi.

In the past, creating product main images required close coordination among graphic designers, models, and photo studios. Today, with the support of “Dabi AI” from Boundary Consulting, a subsidiary of Huitongda Network, virtual model try-on effects can be generated with one click, increasing the efficiency of new product launches by 5 to 10 times with sales in its e-commerce business increasing by more than 50%. Starting with empowering lower-tier retail, Huitongda has consolidated its core foundation of township mom-and-pop stores while extending its comprehensive “AI + Retail” capabilities into online e-commerce scenarios. With the continuous penetration of e-commerce merchants into Huitongda's customer ecosystem, new growth opportunities driven by the implementation of AI applications are gradually emerging. Integrating Capabilities: Synergies Between Member Stores and E-commerce Resources The new achievement of Huitongda’s “AI + Retail” dual-drive lies in a successful capability grafting. Last November, Huitongda completed the acquisition of a 57% stake in Boundary Consulting, a leading e-commerce AI company. With 15 years of experience in the e-commerce sector, Boundary Consulting has developed the “Dabi AI” platform for e-commerce merchants. The platform integrates product analysis, competitor research, visual content generation, asset management and automated tasks, helping e-commerce teams carry out business analysis, content production and task execution within a unified platform. This integration also creates synergies in both directions. Having deeply cultivated the lower-tier market for over a decade and serving more than 250,000 township member stores, Huitongda Network has accumulated authentic transaction data, short-chain supply chains, and retail scenario experience. What Boundary Consulting contributes, on the other hand, consists of e-commerce-side AI application services, customer resources, and operational expertise. By connecting the two businesses, the retail capabilities developed through serving member stores expand the growth potential of the e-commerce business, while the algorithms and content creation capabilities developed on the e-commerce side, in turn, enhance offline store operations. The same AI capabilities can be applied across different customer groups and retail scenarios, reducing marginal costs while accumulating more scenario-specific data and creating a compounding effect. This is what fundamentally distinguishes Huitongda’s dual-engine “AI + Retail” strategy from standalone AI products. Building a Competitive Moat Through End-to-End Integration From the perspective of its product matrix, Huitongda’s AI matrix is no longer a collection of isolated tools, but an integrated network connecting online and offline channels as well as the end-to-end supply chain. On the e-commerce side, “Dabi AI” serves e-commerce merchants; on the offline store side, “Qiancheng Cloud AI” and the Qiancheng AI Super Store Manager, the latter integrating more than 24 scenario-based intelligent agents, continue to provide technological capabilities to physical retail stores; on the enterprise service side, “LeapoAI” integrates over 100 specialised features to serve brand owners and factories. Underpinning these three business segments is Huitongda’s intelligent supply chain system, supported by years of experience in providing integrated operational services to retail customers. This system connects upstream supply chain partners and brand manufacturers with downstream retail stores, FMCG retail chains and e-commerce merchants, creating a closed-loop flow of commercial activities, data and AI capabilities across the value chain. In the first half of 2026, Huitongda’s AI-related revenue exceeded RMB 78.91 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 32.3% and accounting for more than 70% of its full-year AI-related revenue in 2025. These results demonstrate customer willingness to pay and progress in the commercial adoption of AI applications. For Huitongda, the value of this network extends far beyond tool-level revenue. Scenario density, depth of data, and fulfillment capabilities mutually reinforce one another—the denser the scenarios, the more authentic the data, the faster the model iteration, and the lower the unit customer acquisition and service costs. This barrier, built upon real transactions and offline fulfillment, represents a core asset that general large models can hardly acquire and is difficult to replicate in the short term. Looking at the retail sector in the AI era, what the industry truly lacks is not general models, but professional enablers capable of embedding AI capabilities into real business scenarios and continuously generating scale benefits. Driven by the “AI + Retail” strategy, Huitongda is connecting offline member stores and online e-commerce merchants, leading the retail industry toward a comprehensive AI-driven upgrade. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— D1 Approved and Central Michigan University Partner to Strengthen NIL Compliance and Grow Athlete Revenues 2026-10-15 · GlobeNewswire · Finance, SaaS, Education, Sports https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/10/15/3381239/0/en/d1-approved-and-central-michigan-university-partner-to-strengthen-nil-compliance-and-grow-athlete-revenues.html The Mid-American Conference school becomes a founding partner of the Austin-based platform, gaining real-time visibility into student-athlete NIL activity, streamlined compliance workflows, and the market intelligence to identify new NIL and revenue opportunities.

The campaign promoted the development of Hong Kong's film industry, served as a bridge between Hong Kong filmmakers and overseas industry players and buyers, fostered collaboration opportunities and highlighted Hong Kong's role as an international hub for East-meets-West cultural and artistic exchange as well as a regional IP trading centre. The Hong Kong Pavilion hosted a happy hour reception, bringing together film industry professionals from around the world to connect and exchange insights. Anna Cheung, Associate Executive Director of HKTDC, said: "As an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchange, Hong Kong has long been committed to fostering cross-cultural dialogue and collaboration. The HKTDC is delighted to once again join hands with the CCIDA and FDC to present Hong Kong Cinema @ BUSAN 2026. Through this campaign, we aim to showcase and promote Hong Kong's cinematic creations in the international market, strengthen exchanges between Hong Kong and the global film industry, and create more opportunities for international co-productions and collaborations." Showcasing creative diversity and advancing Hong Kong cinema This year, several Hong Kong film production and distribution companies actively participated in the exhibition at the Hong Kong Pavilion, including Blast Films International Limited, Cappu Films Limited, First Step Movie Distribution Studio, Just Distribution Company Limited, October Pictures Limited, and Xiaowu Brothers (Hong Kong) Limited. Other Hong Kong film companies, including Edko Films Limited, Emperor Motion Pictures, Golden Network Asia Limited, Golden Scene Company Limited, and One Cool Pictures, also engaged with international buyers and investors to explore collaboration opportunities. The Pavilion also showcased several Hong Kong films selected for the 31st Busan International Film Festival (BIFF). These included Dead End, distributed by One Cool Group and selected for the Vision-Asia section of BIFF, where it had its premiere. The film also won the Higher Education Institution Group of the 7th First Feature Film Initiative, funded by the Film Development Fund. Also featured was Cold War 1994, produced by Edko Films Ltd., which was selected for the Special Screenings & Carte Blanche section. Commissioner for Cultural and Creative Industries Drew Lai remarked that CCIDA is dedicated to boosting film productions and nurturing talents for the film industry through various funding schemes under the Film Development Fund (FDF). In addition, CCIDA will set up a dedicated Support Unit for Non-local Film Productions, making it easy and convenient for overseas crews to film in Hong Kong. Hong Kong Night fosters global industry exchange and collaboration Hong Kong Night was held on 9 October at the Paradise Hotel Busan, serving as the curtain-raiser for Hong Kong Cinema @ BUSAN 2026 and showcasing the creative strengths of Hong Kong's film industry to the international community. The event attracted more than 750 industry professionals from Hong Kong and around the world, fostering cross-border business networking and industry exchange. Members of the Hong Kong delegation attending Hong Kong Night included Isabella Lam, director of Dead End, and cast members Maggie Shiu, Hedwig Tam and Lokman Yeung. Key film industry players attended Hong Kong Night, including Dead End director Isabella Lam and cast members Maggie Shiu, Hedwig Tam, and Lokman Yeung as well as artists Fala Chen, Nacy Sit and Jonathan Wong. Other delegation members included film producers Johnny Wang, Lau Kok Rui, Trevor Choi, Kelvin Shum and Whitney Yiu as well as director So Chak Long. Delegation members also participated in the Producer Hub programme, where they met producers and production companies from around the world, explored opportunities for cross-border collaboration and further strengthened ties between Hong Kong's film industry and the international filmmaking community. Hong Kong producers engaged with international industry professionals at the Producer Hub. Among them, director So Chak Long was selected for the Asian Project Market (APM) with his work Whisper of the Silence. During APM, he took part in a series of one-on-one business matching meetings with international investors and industry professionals to pursue opportunities for international co-productions and collaboration. Producer Kelvin Shum said: "Through the Producer Hub, we have the opportunity to not only present our projects, but also to connect with filmmakers from Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and other markets. This enables us to better understand the industry's latest developments, market demand and unique filmmaking processes of different countries. It is a truly rewarding and invaluable experience." Exploring screen adaptation and development opportunities for Hong Kong IPs This year, CCIDA selected and organised, for the first time, four outstanding original works from Hong Kong outside the film category to participate in the Busan Story Market (BSM). The selected projects comprised three animated works: Blacky the Metal Arm Cat, Cirkillation and Tai Lung Fung – Full Throttle Kitchen as well as the comic title Disposable Dolly. Local original content IP owners participated in the Busan Story Market to engage in IP rights trading, financing and cross-media collaboration. The BSM is a dedicated marketplace for IP transactions involving high-quality original content from around the world, including animation, comics, novels and screenplays. The platform facilitates film and television rights trading. It connects overseas producers, investors and distributors with content creators to explore collaboration opportunities, while promoting adaptation and development projects for international markets. Representative of Blacky the Metal Arm Cat said: "As a local Hong Kong IP, we spend most of our time creating in the studio, making it challenging to reach out to industry professionals worldwide. BSM has allowed us to connect with producers, investors and potential partners from different countries, which is crucial to facilitate Hong Kong Ips' expansion into overseas markets and their continuous development."

Revitalizes non-profit’s Charlotte campus for over 9,000 children and families who stay each year. Restores shared spaces to help children navigating complex issues see they’re valued and supported. On Alexander Youth Network’s campus in Charlotte, North Carolina, the basketball court is rarely quiet. Kids shoot free throws and celebrate swishing the shot they’ve practiced all week. Down the path, the pool provides another way for children to play, exercise and unwind. The non-profit organization serves more than 9,000 children and families across North Carolina each year through mental and behavioral health treatment programs. Its Charlotte campus houses the residential treatment facility where children live while receiving care. On the campus, swimming, sports and creative expression are woven into daily routines and the care the children receive.

This year, they supported Alexander Youth Network and completed several hands-on programs to give the Charlotte campus a vibrant makeover. Efforts included: Resurfacing the facility's basketball court Restoring the pool locker rooms Refreshing the campus landscaping Painting murals in the cafeteria Installing fresh signage and logos John Zidar, senior vice president of North America Government, Motorola Solutions, and executive director of the Galvin Masters program said: “The Galvin Masters are committed to advancing Motorola Solutions’ legacy of community support, and this year, we’re honored to help Alexander Youth Network bring more hope and healing to children and families across North Carolina.” The power of a place built for healing At Alexander Youth Network, mental and behavioral health recovery extends far beyond talk therapy. Everyday activities like swimming, playing sports and creative expression are central to how its residents process difficult experiences, heal and grow. Brennon Graham, CEO of Alexander Youth Network, shared how the campus renovations will impact residents: “Our kids come to us during some of the hardest moments of their lives, but they’re still kids who need space to play, create and just be kids. Play and creative expression are an important part of how we help children heal. These volunteers are coming together to help make our campus a better place for them. They’re showing our kids that they matter, and that makes a difference.” Image   Carrying it forward The Day of Service reflects Motorola Solutions’ broader commitment to help build safer cities and thriving communities. As the charitable arm of Motorola Solutions, the Motorola Solutions Foundation carries this mission forward in the places where its employees live and work. Wesley Barden Touhy, executive director of the Motorola Solutions Foundation, said this hands-on opportunity can provide ripple effects for the community: "Alexander Youth Network is creating safe, supportive spaces where children can heal and thrive. We're proud to support their work to uplift children and families while strengthening the communities where our employees live and work." Through strategic grants and community partnerships, the Foundation has donated over $100 million over the past decade to vital causes, including $2.6 million to support employee volunteerism and giving initiatives.

Produced by BBC StoryWorks for Arrow Electronics, the film follows the sisters as they learn to navigate the world with more freedom, thanks to a new wearable intelligent device developed by Arrow customer .lumen. Available as a durable, weatherproof headset, .lumen’s “glasses” rely on the same type of technology that powers autonomous cars. Using a combination of machine learning, cameras, and haptic sensors that stimulate the sense of touch, the device scans the environment, identifies safe paths and guides users through directional vibrations felt on the forehead. “Wearing the glasses felt like I'm pioneering something that you could only see in the movies, and it was a privilege to be one of the testers,” said Stelea.  Stelea and Crocker are among 1,200 blind individuals in 40 countries who have tested the glasses. Currently available through a public assistive program in Romania,  .lumen is also launching the product more widely in Europe and has plans to expand internationally. Arrow is helping the startup scale by identifying, sourcing, and integrating the lengthy list of processors, cameras, sensors, and connectors the device requires.  “With the support of Arrow, they helped us on the prototyping side and they helped us on the manufacturing side,” said .lumen’s CEO and Founder Cornel Amariei. The film featuring Crocker and Stelea is part of All In, an original content series launched last month and presented by The Valuable 500, a business collective working to end disability exclusion. “Seeing how technology makes life better for people with physical limitations - and helps create new opportunities - is what drives our Five Years Out brand,” said Joe Verrengia, Arrow’s global director of marketing, brand and storytelling. “Our purpose is to guide innovation forward.” Arrow is a pioneer in using semi-autonomous to improve mobility for the disabled. The company developed a series of semi-autonomous (SAM) cars that a quadriplegic race car driver controls with the help of an AI model and electronics developed by Arrow engineers. .lumen’s proprietary glasses extend the SAM concept beyond paralysis to people with visual impairment, representing the most advance assistive technology worldwide for the blind.  Image About .lumen .lumen builds Physical AI for Mobility, from Glasses for the Blind to Humanoid Delivery Robots. The first application of this technology is the .lumen Glasses for the Blind, which bring the principles of autonomous driving to pedestrian mobility. The device uses artificial intelligence and haptic guidance to reproduce the main functions of a guide dog in a scalable wearable system.  About Arrow Electronics Arrow Electronics (NYSE:ARW) sources and engineers technology solutions for thousands of leading manufacturers and service providers.

It has been about building relationships, recognizing opportunities, and understanding what it takes to bring brands into some of the world's most competitive retail environments. Gould's career has included working with major national retailers such as Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, Costco, CVS, Walgreens, GNC, and Amazon. Along the way, he has helped manufacturers and consumer brands pursue distribution opportunities across multiple product categories, from hardware and household goods to health, wellness, and sports nutrition. Learning the Business in Brooklyn Gould's introduction to retail began long before his first meeting with a national retail buyer. Growing up in Brooklyn, he learned the fundamentals of manufacturing, sales, and distribution from his father and grandfather, both of whom worked in the consumer products business. Those early experiences gave him an understanding of how products move from manufacturers to distributors, retailers, and ultimately consumers. "Retail was part of my life long before it became my career," said Mitch Gould. "My grandfather had a factory in Brooklyn and a showroom in the Empire State Building. My father Jerry carried that tradition forward in manufacturing and distribution. I grew up learning how products were made, how they were sold, and how relationships opened doors. Those lessons stayed with me throughout my career." The lessons proved valuable as Gould began developing relationships with major retailers and helping companies expand their distribution networks. His career eventually brought him into contact with some of the largest names in American retail, including Home Depot, where early relationships helped establish opportunities that would influence his career for years to come. From Home Improvement to Mass-Market Retail As Gould's career developed, so did the range of retailers and product categories he worked with. Home Depot and Lowe's represented opportunities in the home improvement sector, while Walmart and Costco provided access to mass-market consumers. Pharmacy chains such as CVS and Walgreens, along with specialty retailers like GNC, introduced different distribution requirements and opportunities for health and wellness brands. Each retail environment presented its own challenges, from product selection and packaging to pricing, logistics, and merchandising. Gould's experience across these channels gave him a broad perspective on the American retail landscape and the differences between introducing a product to a specialty retailer and preparing it for national distribution. His career has also included work with established consumer product companies and brands, including Rubbermaid, Sunbeam, Igloo, and Miracle-Gro. "I've had the opportunity to help brands get their products into some of the biggest retailers in America, from Home Depot and Lowe's to Walmart, Costco, CVS, and Walgreens," Gould said. "Every retailer is different. You have to understand what their buyers are looking for, what their customers want, and how to make the product work for that particular store. That's something you learn through experience, not from a textbook." Amazon Opens a New Chapter As retail evolved, Gould's experience expanded from traditional brick-and-mortar distribution into e-commerce. One of the notable chapters in his career involved Amazon's developing sports nutrition business. Working with Muscle Foods and Amazon buyers, Gould helped introduce more than 100 sports nutrition brands and products to the online marketplace, contributing to the early development of a category that would become an established part of Amazon's health and wellness offerings. The experience represented a natural progression in Gould's career, applying decades of product distribution knowledge to a new retail model. Although Amazon changed the way consumers discovered and purchased products, Gould recognized that many of the underlying principles of successful distribution remained the same: product selection, pricing, inventory, reliable fulfillment, and understanding customer demand. "When I started in this business, everything revolved around getting products onto store shelves," Gould said. "Then Amazon came along and changed the retail landscape. I had the opportunity to help build its sports nutrition category, bringing more than 100 brands and products to the platform. It was a different way of doing business, but the relationships, product knowledge, and distribution experience I'd developed over the years were just as valuable." A Brooklyn Foundation for a National Retail Career Throughout his career, Gould has worked with manufacturers, entrepreneurs, and consumer brands seeking opportunities in the United States. His experience reflects the transformation of American retail, from the dominance of national brick-and-mortar chains to the emergence of e-commerce platforms that allow brands to reach consumers across the country. For Gould, the common thread has been the business education he received growing up in Brooklyn and the relationships he developed throughout his career. From Home Depot and Walmart to Amazon, his professional journey illustrates how a foundation in traditional manufacturing and distribution can translate into opportunities across generations of American retail. About Mitch Gould Mitch Gould is a third-generation retail distribution and manufacturing expert with more than 25 years of experience launching and scaling consumer products across sports nutrition, health and wellness, skincare, hardware, and beverages.

Plant-based nutrition is no longer defined solely by consumers following vegan or vegetarian diets. Interest in incorporating more plant-derived ingredients into everyday meals has broadened the conversation to include protein content, ingredient transparency, flavor and convenience. For Green Choice Proteins, this evolution reflects the philosophy behind its Australian-made plant protein products, which are designed for consumers seeking practical ways to incorporate plant-based nutrition into their daily routines. "Plant-based nutrition doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing lifestyle choice," said Puneet Chawla, Founder of Green Choice Proteins. "We believe consumers should have access to high-quality plant protein products that fit naturally into their everyday lives, whether they're focused on fitness, general wellness or simply making more thoughtful food choices." Moving Beyond Traditional Plant-Based Categories As plant-based nutrition continues evolving, consumers have more options beyond products designed to replace meat or dairy. Plant proteins can also serve as convenient ingredients in smoothies, breakfast foods, baking and other everyday meals. Green Choice Proteins focuses on this broader approach, combining plant-derived protein with carefully selected ingredients and flavors designed to make everyday nutrition both convenient and enjoyable. The company's formulations feature Australian-grown pea and faba proteins, omega-3 from linseed and no artificial colours, flavours or fillers. Three Flavors Designed for Everyday Nutrition Green Choice Proteins' initial U.S. product lineup includes three plant-based protein powders: Chocolate Flavored Protein Powder - Plant-Based Protein 35.3g plant protein per serving Made with Australian-grown pea and faba Features pure cocoa powder and coconut milk powder Contains omega-3 from linseed No artificial colours, flavours or fillers Vanilla Flavored Protein Powder - Plant Based Protein 34.9g plant protein per serving Designed for smoothies, oats, baking and everyday nutrition routines Made using Australian-grown plant proteins Includes omega-3 from linseed Clean vanilla flavor profile without artificial additives Salted Caramel Flavored Protein Powder - Plant Based Protein 34.9g plant protein per serving Combines caramel sweetness with balanced salted notes Made using Australian-grown pea and faba Includes omega-3 from linseed No artificial colours, flavours or fillers "Taste and convenience are just as important as the nutritional profile," added Chawla. "Our goal is to create products that people genuinely enjoy incorporating into their routines. We want plant-based nutrition to feel accessible and practical, not complicated or restrictive." Australian-Made Nutrition With a Focus on Transparency Manufactured in Victoria, Australia, Green Choice Proteins emphasizes ingredient transparency, responsible sourcing and clean-label formulations. The family-owned company uses Australian-grown pulses as a foundation for its products while incorporating other thoughtfully selected ingredients to create its plant protein formulations. Green Choice Proteins believes the growing interest in everyday plant-based nutrition creates opportunities for brands that can combine quality ingredients with enjoyable flavors and convenient formats. Building a Presence in the United States The company's focus on everyday plant nutrition comes as Green Choice Proteins continues its U.S. expansion strategy. Following its participation in September's ECRM Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition Session in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, the company is preparing to introduce its products to American consumers through OneLavi and Amazon. The upcoming launches represent the initial stages of Green Choice Proteins' broader strategy to establish its Australian-made plant nutrition products in the United States.

The company previously announced that AINA would become available through OneLavi.com, marking the first opportunity for U.S. consumers to purchase the brand.  “Expanding to Amazon is an important next step for AINA in the United States,” said Marita Weiman, Quality Assurance Manager at NWB Finland Oy. “We want to make it easy for consumers to discover and purchase AINA while introducing them to what makes Northern Finnish water and our packaging approach different.” AINA Natural Water originates in the Pudasjärvi region of Northern Finland, where groundwater is naturally filtered through layers of soil, sand and rock before being mechanically filtered and packaged. The water contains approximately 32 mg/L of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Its naturally low mineral content contributes to a soft, neutral taste and clean finish with no aftertaste. Premium Water Designed for Everyday Living NWB Finland Oy has built AINA around the idea that premium water should be practical enough to become part of everyday life. Instead of focusing on individual plastic bottles, AINA is offered in larger 5-liter and 10-liter bag-in-box formats designed for convenient use at home, at work and in other everyday settings. The sustainability-focused packaging uses substantially less plastic than comparable volumes packaged in traditional individual plastic bottles. The approach combines three elements NWB Finland Oy believes can differentiate AINA in the U.S. market:  Northern Finland source Naturally low mineral profile  Sustainability-Focused Packaging  AINA’s upcoming expansion to Amazon follows a series of steps by NWB Finland Oy to establish the brand in the United States. The company recently participated in the 2026 ECRM Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition Session in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, where AINA and its bag-in-box format were introduced to U.S. retail buyers. “We are building AINA’s U.S. presence step by step,” Weiman said. “Amazon will significantly broaden the opportunity for consumers across the country to experience AINA Natural Water.”  The AINA Difference Northern Finland Source - Originates in the Pudasjärvi region of Northern Finland, an area known for its forests, natural landscapes, and groundwater resources. Naturally Filtered - Groundwater is naturally filtered through layers of soil, sand, and rock before being mechanically filtered and packaged. Measured Purity - Contains approximately 32 mg/L of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), contributing to a soft, clean taste profile. Clean Taste Profile - Naturally low mineral content helps provide a balanced drinking experience with no aftertaste. Naturally Low in Sodium - Contains only small amounts of sodium and dissolved minerals. Sustainability-Focused Packaging - Bag-in-box packaging uses substantially less plastic than traditional bottled-water formats. Additional details about Amazon availability will be announced when AINA Natural Water becomes available for purchase.  For more information about AINA Natural Water, visit AINA Natural Water. To learn more about NWB Finland Oy, visit NWB Finland Oy. About NWB Finland Oy NWB Finland Oy is a Finland-based company focused on sustainable beverage packaging and natural water solutions. Headquartered in Pudasjärvi, Finland, the company was founded with a mission to develop environmentally responsible alternatives to traditional beverage packaging while delivering premium-quality products to consumers around the world. Its flagship brand, AINA Natural Water, features naturally filtered groundwater sourced from Northern Finland, a region known for its pristine natural environment and abundant groundwater resources. The water is packaged in innovative bag-in-box formats designed to reduce plastic consumption while providing a convenient solution for households, businesses, hospitality venues, and events. NWB Finland Oy's long-term vision is to make Northern Finland's natural groundwater available to consumers globally while continuing to invest in sustainable packaging solutions that support both consumer needs and environmental responsibility. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Wolfson Group To Bring Multi-Category Wellness Portfolio to OneLavi 2026-10-09 · Newsworthy.ai · AI, SaaS, Healthcare, Retail, Education, Sports https://newsworthy.ai/news/202610093044/wolfson-group-to-bring-multi-category-wellness-portfolio-to-onelavi Boca Raton, Florida Friday Oct 9, 2026 @ 4:00 AM Eastern — Wolfson Group, a Scotland-based international consumer wellness company, today announced that three brands from its portfolio, PhenQ, TestoPrime, and YourBiology, are coming soon to OneLavi.com, marking another step in the company's strategy to expand U.S. distribution beyond Amazon. The upcoming OneLavi availability will provide another online destination for U.S. consumers to discover and purchase Wolfson Group brands while supporting the company's broader effort to build a diversified retail and e-commerce presence in the United States. "Expanding onto OneLavi is another important step in making our brands more accessible to consumers across the U.S.," said the founder and CEO of Wolfson Group. "Amazon has provided us with a strong foundation in the market, and we're now building on that presence by developing additional channels for our portfolio." The three brands coming to OneLavi represent distinct areas of the consumer wellness market. PhenQ focuses on weight management, TestoPrime serves the men's wellbeing category, and YourBiology focuses on women's gut health and everyday wellness. The expansion follows a series of U.S. initiatives by Wolfson Group as the Scotland-based company works to broaden its American presence. In September, Wolfson Group participated in the ECRM Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition Session in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, where the company introduced its multi-category portfolio during scheduled retail meetings. Wolfson Group has also been examining how consumer wellness interests increasingly extend across multiple categories, including weight management, cognitive wellness, gut health, men's and women's wellbeing and healthy ageing. The company believes its diversified portfolio provides opportunities to serve consumers with different wellness priorities throughout various stages of life. Adding OneLavi to Wolfson Group's U.S. distribution strategy reflects the company's approach of building multiple paths to the consumer rather than relying on a single marketplace or retail channel. "Our U.S. strategy is about creating a broader and more sustainable distribution footprint over time," the founder said. "Adding new online retail relationships complements what we've already built and gives us another foundation as we continue exploring opportunities across both e-commerce and brick-and-mortar retail." Wolfson Group said it will continue pursuing additional U.S. distribution opportunities while investing in consumer education, science-led brand development and long-term growth across its portfolio. PhenQ, TestoPrime, NooCube and YourBiology are already available to U.S. consumers through Amazon. Their upcoming availability on OneLavi will add another online retail channel as Wolfson Group continues building a broader U.S. distribution footprint.  About Wolfson Group Wolfson Group is an international consumer wellness company focused on building science-led brands that help people live healthier lives. Its portfolio spans weight management, cognitive health, gut health, men's wellness, beauty and healthy ageing, serving millions of consumers worldwide through direct-to-consumer, marketplace and retail channels. Wolfson Group's portfolio includes the established wellness brands PhenQ, TestoPrime, NooCube and YourBiology, spanning categories such as weight management, cognitive wellness, gut health and men's wellbeing. The brands are currently available to U.S. consumers through Amazon while the company pursues broader retail opportunities nationwide. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— 40 years of the BMW M3 2026-10-09 · BMW Group · Sports https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/article/detail/T0461563EN?language=en Six generations of high-performance sports cars for the premium midsize class ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— ARC Stages Singapore's First Full-Sized Humanoid Fight Night Professional Martial Artists Pilot Robots REAL-TIME on Stage 2026-10-09 · Newsfile · Sports https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/318188/ARC-Stages-Singapores-First-FullSized-Humanoid-Fight-Night-Professional-Martial-Artists-Pilot-Robots-REALTIME-on-Stage Singapore, Singapore--(October 9, 2026) - ARC held Singapore's first full-sized humanoid fight night at *SCAPE on Wednesday, 7 October.

This year, consumers can enjoy educational events, community stories, and a 20% storewide sale at ShopC60.com. National C60 Day, also known as National Carbon 60 Day, C60 Day or Carbon 60 Day, recognizes the discovery of C60, also called buckminsterfullerene or a "buckyball." C60 is a hollow, spherical molecule made of exactly 60 carbon atoms arranged in 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons, the same pattern found on a classic soccer ball. A Discovery Written in the Stars In 1985, British chemist Harold Kroto joined Rice University scientists Robert Curl and Richard Smalley to recreate the chemistry of carbon rich stars in the laboratory, and their experiments revealed C60. Kroto, a longtime admirer of architect R. Buckminster Fuller's geodesic domes helped give the molecule its name in honor of Buckminster. In 1990, Wolfgang Krätschmer and Donald Huffman developed a method to produce C60 in quantities large enough to study, and the journal Science named buckminsterfullerene its Molecule of the Year for 1991. Curl, Kroto, and Smalley were awarded the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their discovery. In 2010, astronomers using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope detected C60 in Tc 1, a cloud of gas and dust shed by a dying star, the first confirmed sighting of buckyballs in space. "National C60 Day gives us an opportunity to honor the science that introduced this extraordinary molecule to the world. This holiday may help consumers understand the importance of purity, and 3rd-party testing, along with the opportunity to learn more about the potential of the molecule," said Jessica MacNaughton, CEO and cofounder of C60 Power. "Our goal is to make reliable C60 education more accessible and give people the information they need to make informed choices for themselves and their animals." What Researchers Are Studying Since its discovery, C60 research has expanded into chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, energy, skincare and wellness. Its ability to interact with free radicals is one reason C60 continues to attract attention in antioxidant research. Interest in C60 and healthy aging grew after a 2012 study reported that rats given C60 dissolved in olive oil lived longer than untreated rats.

The daughter of longtime civic leader Charlie Culpepper, Stevens reflects on inheriting a stewardship mindset and now helping steer one of the fastest growing cities in the country. This episode is unique as it features the daughter of a former guest, marking a familial continuity in civic leadership. The episode traces Round Rock's arc from a farming community of fewer than 5,000 residents in the 1970s to a city approaching 150,000. Stevens and Eisenberg explore several key themes: Balancing ambitious goals with responsible growth in Williamson County, the fastest-growing county in the nation. Leaving a 22-year speech pathology career to serve on City Council Combating misinformation on issues from data centers to public comment ordinances The role of Blue Santa, Meals on Wheels, Sertoma, Rotary, Frontier Days, and the Sandbass Shootout in shaping her family's service ethic Stevens describes Round Rock's identity in plain terms, telling Eisenberg: We have a very accepting and welcoming and warm culture here. We expect the best, right? But we accept and we bring in and we welcome everybody and all ideas and all businesses and the stories of the people that come here. Stevens addresses the challenges of public service in the social media age, emphasizing the need for 'thick skin' and direct engagement with constituents. The conversation surfaces a full-circle Round Rock moment: Stevens was the first person ever to get engaged at Dell Diamond, during the inaugural Friday night fireworks game after voters passed the hotel-motel tax that funded the stadium. Her husband, who studied architecture and now works in construction, coordinated a heart-shaped fireworks display on Good Friday nearly 26 years ago. Today, her father takes her older two sons to dollar hot dog nights with Papa, and her youngest son works as a parking lot attendant for the Round Rock Express. Stevens also credits Charlie Culpepper's lesson to remain accessible, mentors through Leadership Round Rock, Ascend, and YMCA leadership classes, and urges newcomers to volunteer strategically rather than dilute their impact. About Rock Solid: Round Rock Business Leaders Podcast Hosted by New York Times bestselling author and keynote speaker Bryan Eisenberg, Rock Solid explores the journeys of entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and civic leaders shaping Round Rock, Texas. From startups to established institutions, each episode spotlights the people and ideas fueling one of America's fastest growing communities.

"Tokenization gets treated as an issuance problem when it is really a data problem, and the Information Data Exchange exists to solve the data problem first," said Nathaniel T.

"In Seoul, we will show the XRP Ledger community why valuation, credentialing and verified metadata have to live in one operating layer beneath the asset, and how our platform runs that sequence today."

Datavault AI will exhibit at the conference and deploy its ADIO acoustic data transmission technology at its booth and from the keynote stage, where ADIO audio tones will direct attendees' mobile devices to registration and giveaway experiences. The Company's participation follows its appearances at XRP Tokyo 2026 and XRP Seoul 2025 and reflects its continued focus on expanding its presence and customer development across the Asia-Pacific region. Separately, Datavault AI will distribute the first XRP Seoul 2026 Limited Edition Collectible Token, a commemorative digital token minted on the XRP Ledger, to XRP Seoul 2026 attendees.

Occupying a total floor area of 570 square metres, it is China's first multi-celebrity-IP immersive fan experience flagship store, bringing music, trendy toys and culture together in one trendy experience space. A significant step in Star Plus Legend's offline retail matrix, the store is set to become a city-level trendy IP landmark in the heart of East Nanjing Road's core commercial district. Zhou Peimin, Chief Operating Officer of Star Plus Legend Group, said in her opening speech: “Shanghai is not only a trendsetter for China’s consumer market, but also a key gateway through which global brands and trend culture reach China and Chinese brands reach the world. East Nanjing Road sits at the very intersection of Shanghai-style commercial heritage and contemporary youth culture. Choosing this address for the first store is a deliberate first step in Star Plus Legend’s ‘One City, One Store’ strategy. Through this space, we hope to bring younger, more contemporary trendy content to East Nanjing Road, give consumers a cultural experience worth lingering in and returning to, and leave behind an IP memory for Shanghai that people can take away and share.” Music Woven into Architecture, An Immersive Space Unfolds Floor by Floor As the centrepiece of the store experience, the interior design takes its cues from the aesthetics and storytelling of Jay Chou’s classic songs, linking fans’ shared musical memories with somewhere to meet offline, creating a fan space to wander through, play in and linger in. This experience is clearly perceptible from the facade. A signature giant clock installation pays tribute to “Counter-clockwise Clock”, giving the space a sense of time running backwards. Standing on East Nanjing Road, passers-by immediately register a musical symbol that belongs to CHOUCHOU. The building as a whole draws on the retro European Gothic aesthetic of “William’s Castle”. The period stone cladding, carved arched windows, stained glass and fireplace settings recreate the song’s fantastical castle atmosphere in physical form. Music is no longer something merely heard, it becomes a scene you can see and walk into. Inside, the narrative unfolds floor by floor. 1F, the “Star’s Living Room”, carries the retro European villa facade through to the interior, with a giant chiming clock installation, large art toy sculptures and lighting strips, complemented indoors by stained glass, a fireplace-and-sofa lounge, a central large art toy island and a blind box retail area. The floor balances shopping with photo-taking and rest, recreating the feel of a living room where fans gather. On 2F, the “CHOUCHOU Universe” stages blue nebula resin flooring, time-space photo-frame installations and happiness-making capsule pods to create a walk-through IP universe, with immersive photo spots and storytelling at its core. 3F, the “Secret Loft”, is expected to open to the public in November 2026 and is planned to house a hidden restaurant and an acoustics laboratory party space, extending the store beyond retail into community gathering. More Than 300 SKUs at Launch, with Global Debuts and City Exclusives in the Spotlight Beyond the spatial experience, the store’s product line-up is equally rich. During the opening period, the store is unveiling a first drop of more than 300 SKUs across seven categories: collectible figures and blind boxes, themed plush, trendy accessories, home and lifestyle, digital peripherals, city exclusives and cross-brand collaborations. The range covers both collectible large art toys and series blind boxes, and practical spin-offs for everyday use, delivering on the promise of “collect it, wear it, use it”. At the centre of the opening line-up are six plush series—Earphone CHOUCHOU, Poker Encounter, Football CHOUCHOU, Dim Sum Is Busy, Absolute Pitch and Milk Tea CHOUCHOU—unveiled as a surprise, each with its own distinctive theme concept and cute, playful styling, adding a younger, more comforting and more collectible note to the store’s trendy toy offer.  The “Kung Fu Soccer × CHOUCHOU” collaboration series brings together the rousing spirit of sport and the CHOUCHOU character. Using trendy toys as a medium to connect with film and television culture, the series creates a new form of expression between the thrill of a sports storyline and the approachability of the IP character. Star Plus Legend's original IP MAJI DOGGIE goes on sale in a physical store for the first time, joined by IPs including WAKAEMO, further broadening the store’s IP matrix and giving consumers more characters to choose from and interact with. Also in the mix is the “Shanghai Flagship Store City Exclusive Series”, inspired by Shanghai’s urban culture and the architecture of the flagship store itself. It turns Shanghai-style motifs such as the East Nanjing Road store, the Oriental Pearl Tower and Magnolia into collectible souvenirs, so that customers can “Bring the flagship store and Shanghai memories home”. Several limited editions make their global debut during the opening period and are available only at the East Nanjing Road flagship store. From cross-brand collaborations to original IP incubation, and from city exclusives to collectible figures, the range strengthens the store’s content and gives the opening line-up greater depth and freshness, all assembled with genuine care. “One City, One Store” Strategy Kicks Off as the Offline Retail Matrix Accelerates Beyond products, the store’s IP strategy and expansion roadmap are equally well defined. Anchored by CHOUCHOU, Jay Chou’s official anime-style IP character, the store will continue to introduce more global celebrity IPs over time, supporting multi-IP co-existence. Zhou Peimin said the flagship store operates a “One City, One Store; One City, One Custom Design” model, and will keep the space fresh with regularly updated products, themes, collaborations and cultural content, so that every visit offers new discoveries and experiences. Next, Central China's first flagship store, in Changsha, will open on September 24, followed by flagship stores in Chengdu and Guangzhou. The store network will also bring in overseas trendy IP content and work with Unitree Robotics to explore a new business track of “trendy IP + smart hardware”. For Star Plus Legend, opening its first global flagship store is both a key step in extending from IP operation into physical, on-the-ground experience and an important milestone in upgrading the offline retail matrix from robot shops and pop-up stores into flagship-store experience spaces. The opening is only the starting point. The store will keep refreshing its content around new IP releases, artist collaborations, city exclusives and offline community events, so that every visit feels new and the opening buzz turns into lasting content appeal and urban trend vitality. Zhou Peimin said the company aims to build IPs for the long term, approach business through a cultural lens and use physical space as a point of connection. Products are not simply merchandise, but part of the IP narrative; a store is not a one-off photo spot, but the beginning of an ongoing relationship between the brand and its customers. CHOUCHOU & FRIENDS’ vision is to become a world-class trendy celebrity IP platform deeply rooted in Chinese culture, connected to global creative resources and in step with the era's direction of high-quality development in the cultural sector. Using trendy IPs as a vehicle, it will tell compelling cultural stories for a new era and bring Chinese trend culture to the world. About Company Star Plus Legend Holdings Limited (6683.HK) was founded in 2017 and primarily focuses on IP creation and operation, leveraging IP-driven synergies to expand into AI + robotics and new consumption in the healthy lifestyle sector. The Company was successfully listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in July 2023, approved for inclusion in the Hang Seng Composite Index in February 2024, and formally entered the Hong Kong Stock Connect in March of the same year. In September 2025, Star Plus Legend announced the acquisition of approximately 1.17% equity in National Stadium Co., Ltd. (the operator of the Bird’s Nest), becoming the only private-sector shareholder of the Bird’s Nest to date. In November of the same year, Star Plus Legend announced that it had become a strategic shareholder of Galaxy Corporation Co., Ltd (“Galaxy”), a well-known entertainment management company in South Korea, strengthening its global IP presence. Galaxy boasts a roster of globally influential artists, including Kwon Ji-Yong (also known as G-DRAGON), Kim Jong-kook, and Song Kang-ho. In the field of IP creation and operation, the Company maximizes the influence of its artists by creating personalized character and content IPs tailored to each individual. In terms of character IPs, the Company has established deep collaborations with core celebrities such as Jay Chou and Liu Keng-hung, resulting in two iconic IPs — “CHOUCHOU” and “Coach Liu”. And the cumulative number of fans of the existing celebrity IP portfolio has reached 280 million. In 2023, the Company collaborated with a top Hollywood visual effects team to create the digital human of “CHOUCHOU” for Jay Chou and launched the first metaverse trailer, “The Awakening”. The authorization of the digital human of CHOUCHOU to China Mobile as its Dynamic Star Ambassador, 5G Metaverse Pioneer, and 5G Video Ringtone Ambassador signifies Star Plus Legend’s successful expansion of its IP licensing business into the digital content sector. In 2022, the Company assisted Liu Keng-hung in becoming a national fitness coach and also developed his official anime-style persona and digital human, "Coach Liu”. In 2026, Liu Keng-hung was selected into the first batch of quality online streamers under the Quality Online Streamer Cultivation Project. In addition, the Company introduced a new original IP character, “WAKAEMO,” in 2025, and launched a collaboration programme with 100 international pop artists to build a global artist network and promote the internationalisation of Chinese celebrity IPs.

According to the research report, the global wearable biosensors market is projected to reach USD 105.5 billion by 2036 from USD 35.5 billion in 2026, growing at a CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period (2026-2036). The growth of this market is primarily driven by the escalating demand for continuous health monitoring, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular conditions, and the increasing adoption of personalized healthcare solutions. Wearable biosensors are sophisticated devices that enable real-time tracking of physiological parameters, providing critical data for early disease detection and remote patient management. The global wearable biosensors market is undergoing a profound structural transformation as the healthcare industry shifts from episodic, clinic-based care toward continuous, proactive health management. This evolution is being catalyzed by the rapid miniaturization of sensing technologies and the integration of advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence into consumer wearables. The industry is witnessing a significant transition from simple activity trackers toward medical-grade diagnostic devices that can monitor complex biomarkers like glucose, blood pressure, and cardiac rhythms with high precision. Furthermore, the integration of wearable biosensors with digital health and telemedicine platforms is creating a seamless ecosystem for remote patient monitoring and virtual care delivery. This dynamic shift ensures sustained demand for non-invasive, user-friendly sensing solutions that empower individuals and healthcare providers with actionable health insights, ultimately improving clinical outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. Market Segmentation The global wearable biosensors market is segmented by biomarker type (glucose monitoring, heart rate and cardiac biomarkers, blood oxygen [SpO2] monitoring, blood pressure monitoring, lactate and performance biomarkers, and other biomarkers), product type/form factor (smartwatches, fitness bands, continuous glucose monitoring devices, wearable ECG monitors, smart patches, smart rings, and smart clothing), application (clinical and medical, fitness and wellness, and sports and performance monitoring), end-user (hospitals and clinics, home care settings, fitness and sports organizations, individual consumers, and research institutions), and geography. The study evaluation includes industry competitors and analyzes the market at the country level. Based on Biomarker Type By biomarker type, the glucose monitoring segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global wearable biosensors market in 2026. This dominance is attributed to the high and rising prevalence of diabetes globally and the widespread adoption of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems that eliminate the need for frequent finger-prick testing. Conversely, the heart rate and cardiac biomarkers segment is projected to register significant growth, driven by the increasing integration of ECG and heart rate variability (HRV) sensing into consumer smartwatches, enabling early detection of arrhythmias and other cardiovascular conditions. Furthermore, the lactate and multi-analyte biosensors segments are projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period, fueled by the growing demand for performance optimization in sports and the development of non-invasive sensors for comprehensive metabolic health tracking. Based on Product Type / Form Factor By product type/form factor, the smartwatches with integrated biosensors segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global wearable biosensors market in 2026. Smartwatches have become the primary platform for health monitoring due to their high consumer acceptance, multi-functionality, and the continuous addition of medical-grade sensors by leading tech companies. Meanwhile, the continuous glucose monitoring devices segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This rapid growth is driven by the shift toward proactive diabetes management and the expansion of CGM use among non-insulin-dependent patients and health-conscious individuals. Additionally, smart patches and smart rings are emerging as high-growth segments, offering discrete and specialized monitoring for clinical and wellness applications. Based on Application By application, the clinical and medical segment is expected to hold the largest share in 2026. The increasing use of wearable biosensors for chronic disease management, post-operative monitoring, and clinical trials drives this segment's leadership. Within this segment, remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a major growth catalyst. Conversely, the fitness and wellness segment is projected to register a steady growth rate, driven by the increasing consumer focus on preventive health and the popularity of activity and sleep tracking. The sports and performance monitoring segment is also witnessing rapid expansion as professional athletes and fitness enthusiasts adopt biosensors to optimize training and recovery through data-driven insights. Based on End-User By end-user, the hospitals and clinics segment is expected to hold the largest share in 2026, reflecting the primary role of healthcare providers in prescribing and managing medical-grade wearable sensors for patient care. Conversely, the home care settings segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This rapid growth is driven by the global trend toward decentralized healthcare and the increasing preference for monitoring patients in their home environments to improve comfort and reduce hospital readmissions. The individual consumers segment also remains significant, as more people purchase wearables for personal health and fitness tracking. Geographic Analysis In 2026, North America is expected to account for the largest share of the global wearable biosensors market. The region's leadership is underpinned by a highly advanced healthcare infrastructure, high levels of digital health literacy, and the presence of industry leaders such as Abbott, Dexcom, Apple, and Medtronic in the United States. Furthermore, the early adoption of remote patient monitoring and a favorable reimbursement landscape for digital health technologies contribute to the market's dominance. Key companies in the North America market include Abbott Laboratories (U.S.), Dexcom, Inc. (U.S.), Apple Inc. (U.S.), Medtronic plc (Ireland), Garmin Ltd. (U.S.), Google LLC (Fitbit - U.S.), Masimo Corporation (U.S.), VitalConnect, Inc. (U.S.), and Biolinq Inc. (U.S.). Asia-Pacific is projected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. This expansion is primarily driven by increasing healthcare expenditure, the rapid expansion of the middle-class population, and the high penetration of smartphones and wearable devices in China, India, and Japan. Furthermore, the rising burden of chronic diseases in the region and government initiatives to promote digital health are significant catalysts. Key companies in the Asia-Pacific market include Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (South Korea) and various emerging local MedTech startups. Europe remains a critical market for wearable biosensors, characterized by a strong focus on preventive healthcare and the implementation of robust medical device regulations. European countries are increasingly adopting wearable sensors to address the healthcare needs of an aging population and to improve the efficiency of public health systems. The region's focus on data privacy and security is driving the demand for sensors that comply with strict GDPR and MDR standards. Key companies in the Europe market include F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. (Switzerland), Oura Health Ltd. (Finland), and Empatica Inc. (U.S./Italy). Latin America is an emerging market for wearable biosensors, driven by the modernization of healthcare facilities and the increasing adoption of consumer health technologies in Brazil and Mexico. The region is seeing a shift toward more accessible health monitoring solutions as enterprises and individuals seek to manage chronic conditions more effectively. The Middle East & Africa region is experiencing growing interest in wearable biosensors as part of national digital health transformation strategies, particularly in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Investments in high-tech healthcare infrastructure and the adoption of AI-driven health solutions are expected to be major drivers of market growth in the region.

That’s the case with smartARM, a Toronto-based startup developing a vision-first bionic arm prototype that uses open-source software, with Meta AI glasses as an optional add-on, to explore more intuitive prosthetic control for people living with limb differences. Many traditional prosthetic hands require users to switch manually between grip patterns for different objects, making it cumbersome to move everyday items. Something as seemingly natural as picking up a glass, and then a spoon, becomes a multistep process. smartARM addressed this by developing AI hardware and software that understands the environment, and  automatically selects a suitable grip for the object – so users can intuitively move between everyday tasks. smartARM’s prosthetic arm “sees” through a camera embedded in its palm. The team is using DINOv2, Meta’s open-source vision model, to help it recognize everyday objects from just a few reference photos, supporting smartARM’s grip-selection software.This allows it to grip and pick up objects based on direct visual feature reading, without needing prior understanding or additional programming. The arm can adapt almost instantly to objects trained on just a few photos – something that could take weeks previously. smartARM uses Meta AI Glasses and the Meta Wearables Device Access Toolkit to extend and improve object recognition and understanding, providing more data from the egocentric point of view the glasses offer. Meta AI glasses  give the arm additional context to better understand what the user is trying to interact with. It also lets users add new objects, through the device app on their phones, giving everyone in the smartARM community a way to personalize their prosthetic around their everyday needs. For the people who wear it, the results are life altering: a bionic arm that works from the first try, with no training required. Long-time smartARM user and former NFL player Shaquem Griffin described what it feels like to use it: “Of all the tech packed into it, scalability and accessibility matter most to me. This is the future of consumer prosthetics.” “Building a capable hand is only part of the challenge. Making it intuitive to use matters just as much,” said Hamayal Choudhry, smartARM’s Founder and CEO. “By helping the arm recognize everyday objects and select a suitable grip, we’re working toward an experience where people can focus more on what they want to do and less on how to operate their prosthetic.” The post Canadian Start-up smartARM Uses AI to Create Intuitive Bionic Prosthetics appeared first on Meta Newsroom. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— BRUCE BOLT EXPANDS ITS MULTI-SPORT PORTFOLIO, LAUNCHING GAME-CHANGING FOOTBALL SKILL GLOVE AND TACKIFIED ARM SLEEVE 2026-09-16 · PR Newswire · Gaming, Sports https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/bruce-bolt-expands-its-multi-sport-portfolio-launching-game-changing-football-skill-glove-and-tackified-arm-sleeve-302879888.html Launching October 12th, the brand that transformed the batting glove market brings its performance-driven design to football with an innovative skill glove and the first-ever SFIA-approved tackified arm sleeve, engineered to work together as one connected grip system.

Hosted by Quam Investor Relations, the Awards has officially embarked on its second decade, continuing its long-standing tradition of recognizing outstanding listed companies and witnessing the industry strive for continuous progress and high-quality market development. Management of Quam Plus Financial Group, including Ms. May Mak, Chief Financial Officer (sixth from the right); and Dr. Army Yan, Chief Investment Officer (fifth from the left), took picture together with award presenters and representatives of awarded companies. Embarking on a New Decade: Empowering Capital Markets and Value Creation High standards of transparency and information disclosure by listed companies remain the cornerstone for investors to make informed decisions and are vital to maintaining the vitality of the capital market. For over a decade, the Quam IR Awards has been dedicated to fostering efficient communication between enterprises and the investment community, earning widespread credibility and recognition. Despite the complex macroeconomic environment and market headwinds in recent years, this year's Awards continued to receive enthusiastic support and active participation from the industry, reflecting the unwavering commitment of listed companies to uphold professionalism and deepen investor confidence amidst volatility. Deepening ESG and High-Quality Growth Amid Evolving Global Regulations As global sustainability standards continue to rise, the Quam IR Awards maintains its focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance, honoring leading enterprises in green transformation and compliance governance. This year's Awards continues to feature key recognitions, celebrating companies that demonstrate transparent market communication and fulfill long-term commitments through high-quality sustainability reporting. In response to the latest regulatory dynamics and the comprehensive advancement of international disclosure standards such as ISSB, the event specially invited professional institutions to host keynote sessions. These discussions analyzed emerging compliance trends and the new language of investor communication, equipping the industry to seize market opportunities through forward-looking positioning and comprehensively enhance green competitiveness. Recognizing the growing importance of ESG issues, the event specially invited Alaya Consulting Limited to deliver a keynote presentation. Mr. Tony Wong, Founder and GRI Certified Training Partner, spoke on the theme "ISSB and the Future of Investor Communication," equipping the industry with the latest ESG insights on its path toward sustainable development. Navigating Market Challenges Together Mr.Stacey Wong, Chief Operating Officer of Quam Plus Financial Group, said at the opening remark “The turnover of the Hong Kong stock market has gone from strength to strength, averaging about HK$240 billion per day in 2025 to close to HK$280 billion in the first half of 2026. However, the Stock Connect stocks account for about 85% of such liquidity. The remaining 2,000 companies, about 80% of all listed companies, only share 15% of the daily turnover. In addition, there are over 100 IPOs a year to fight for a piece of the pie! It is no small feat in being able to draw retail eyeballs and gain traction among the institutions. Tough as it is, our IR friends plough on with dedication and professionalism, quietly working behind the scenes. For this, I salute you.”  Ms. May Mak, Chief Financial Officer of Quam Plus Financial Group, said “Over the past year, we have all navigated a dynamic economic environment. In a world with so much information and market fluctuation, just releasing earnings data is no longer enough. Investors are looking for more than just numbers. They want to understand the strategy behind the results, the leadership's vision for the future, and how the company holds up under pressure Every winner in this room today is a great example of telling a successful corporate story. You have built a platform for ongoing success and communicated your long-term vision with clarity and transparency.  By doing so, you have earned market trust and built confidence across Hong Kong's financial market.” Steadfast Support from Industry Peers and Media Allies Quam Investor Relations was honored to have Dr. Michael Y.K. Chan, Honorary Chairman of Hong Kong Institute of Marketing; Dr Jason Ho, Board Director, Hong Kong Securities and Investment Institute; and Mr. Tony Wong, Founder and GRI Nominated Trainer of Alaya Consulting Limited, as award presenters, witnessing this grand occasion.

The highlight of the closing evening was the grand finale of the Hong Kong Young Fashion Designers’ Contest 2026 (YDC), where 10 up-and-coming local fashion designers unleashed their potential. Drawing from personal experiences and inner emotions, their collections told unique stories through distinctive tailoring and materials. Featuring a diverse range of vivid styles, the designs perfectly echoed this year's YDC promotional theme, "YOU." and featured a high-standard runway show for the audience. The evening welcomed a legion of celebrities and artists including Will Or, elka@Lolly Talk, Kaki Sham, Crystal Cheung, Ah Mui, Rachel Leung, Yatho Wong, Dylan So, Karl Ting, William Chang and Irving Cheung adding glamour and excitement to the competition as they showed their support and cheered on the participating designers.

Tsui Ao Lung emerged as Champion with his outstanding design and received a cash prize of HK$60,000 and an overseas internship sponsored by Fang Brothers Knitting Ltd. Cheang King Tung, Kenneth received the Excellence Award and Best Art Direction Award, securing a cash prize of HK$40,000, an overseas study trip sponsored by MINI HK for the former, and collecting a cash prize of HK$10,000, a five-day course at VOGUE College of Fashion in London and an overseas study trip sponsored by VOGUE Hong Kong, with a total value of HK$30,000, for the latter. The “My Favourite Collection” Award, decided by public voting, went to Lam Chun Ni, Jenny, who was awarded a HK$30,000 Lee Gardens Area e-Gift Certificate sponsored by Hysan.     Champion Designer: Tsui Ao Lung Design: The Tide The design: “In truth, everyone is the same—we are all inside one massive ‘raging tide.’ “The Tide” takes inspiration from a classic Cantopop hit Kuang Chao. Through the four stages of a woman’s life, the collection depicts the ebbs, flows and turbulence of human existence driven by emotion and destiny. Prizes: Cash prize of HK$60,000, an overseas study trip sponsored by Fang Brothers Knitting Ltd. The full list of winners from YDC 2026 is as follows: Champion: Tsui Ao Lung; Design: ”The Tide” Excellence Award: Cheang King Tung, Kenneth; Design: ”NOSTALGIA” Best Art Direction Award: Cheang King Tung, Kenneth; Design: ”NOSTALGIA” My Favourite Collection Award: Lam Chun Ni, Jenny; Design: ”The Old Si-Fut and New Chai” Tsui Ao Lung, winner of the Champion title, presented a collection titled “The Tide", which takes inspiration from a classic Cantopop hit Kuang Chao. Through the four stages of a woman’s life, the collection depicts the ebbs, flows and turbulence of human existence driven by emotion and destiny. Reflecting on the demanding creative process, Mr Tsui shared: "My immediate feeling upon winning is sheer exhaustion, as this collection required extensive handcrafting. I deliberately chose artisanal materials that are a stark departure from mainstream fabrics. I believe this award will bring more visibility, but more importantly, participating in YDC has helped me truly discover my future direction and the design aesthetic I am committed to pursuing." Excellence Award and Best Art Direction winner Cheang King Tung, Kenneth presented the collection “NOSTALGIA”. Drawing inspiration from the 1983 film Nostalghia, the work explores the concepts of homeland, distance and yearning, translating his memories of Hong Kong into the language of clothing. The collection draws inspiration from Hong Kong's humid air, harbours, fishing villages, typhoon shelters and industrial landscapes. Through hand-dyeing, sewing, and experimental material treatments, it showcases the traces left behind by the passage of time. Each piece is like a poem written to Hong Kong, documenting memories, emotions, and the connection between people and the city. Sharing his thoughts after the win, Mr Cheang said: "Participating in this year's YDC has been incredibly rewarding. I am very happy that my non-mainstream work has gained mainstream recognition on the YDC platform, which further affirms my future creative direction. I believe the winning edge of my work lies in presenting a relatively complete worldview, and my method of expression was also more dramatic." The My Favourite Collection Award was decided by public voting and the winner was Lam Chun Ni, Jenny for the collection "The Old Si-Fut and New Chai”. The work is set against the backdrop of Hong Kong’s workplace culture, exploring the dynamic between the veteran "old-timers" (si-futs) and the "rookies" (new chais). She translates common workplace dictums—such as "be humble", "talk less" and "endure hardship before you succeed"—into design elements. Through variations in garment structure, proportions, and details, she captures a state of mind caught between wanting to follow the rules and the urge to rebel, as well as the growth process from imitation and integration to a re-evaluation of young people. Sharing her thoughts after the win, Ms Lam said: "Joining YDC has given me many opportunities for growth and exposure, and I am very glad that my work can be seen by more people. Thank you all for supporting this theme. Perhaps the 'old-timer' workplace phenomenon resonates deeply with everyone, and I am incredibly grateful to everyone who voted for me. Winning this award is all thanks to the immense support my friends and family have continuously given me." Internationally renowned judging panel praises show for perfect fusion of Hong Kong culture and creativity This year’s YDC featured a distinguished judging panel comprising seasoned professionals from the fashion industry and media. The panel was chaired by Katherine Fang, Chairlady of the HKTDC Garment Advisory Committee, who served as Chief Judge. The VIP Judge role was taken up by Rok Hwang, founder and Creative Director of ROKH. Overseas Judge Olya Kuryshchuk, Founder & Editor-in-Chief of 1 Granary, was unable to attend the event in person buy she reviewed the shortlisted entries and provided her expert feedback ahead of the judging process. Other esteemed judges included Tracey Cheng, Vice President of Merchandising Planning and Business Development at I.T; Jonathan Lee, Co-founder of The Molecule; Cherry Mui, Editorial Director of Vogue Hong Kong; and Kieran Ho, Senior Vice President of Hong Kong at PURPLE. VIP Judge Rok Hwang expressed his appreciation for the young contestants and their energy. “YDC is an outstanding stage for young fashion designers. The show was energetic and inspiring, showcasing a brilliant mixture of Hong Kong culture and creative energy. The winning collection truly stood out in terms of emotion and color, paired with a dramatic entrance. Once again I want to congratulate all the winners and send my best wishes to them.” Mentoring the YDC contestants this year were Alex Po and Derek Cheng, founders of PONDER.ER. Drawing on their extensive industry experience, the duo provided valuable guidance to the 10 finalists throughout the competition. MINI HK has been the lead sponsor of the YDC for ten consecutive years. To celebrate this milestone, nine YDC alumni winners was invited to create a series of Iconic 3-Door All Electric MINI Cooper and the Stylish yet playful All Electric MINI Aceman 5-door car-wrap graphics, forming a one-of-a-kind limited-edition collection. The tenth design was created by the winner of the MINI-sponsored award at YDC 2026, bringing together YDC 2026’s theme, “YOU.”, and MINI HK’s “Express Yourself” philosophy. The collaboration encourages every driver to express their individuality in their own way.

Through an exploration of "homeland," "distance," and "yearning," he translates his feelings for Hong Kong into a poem written through clothes. Rather than re-creating specific scenes from the movie, the collection extracts its emotions and rhythm, transforming them into a sensory language unique to his relationship with the city. Prizes (Excellence Award): Cash prize of HK$40,000, an overseas study trip sponsored by MINI HK. Prizes (BEST ART DIRECTION): Cash prize of HK$10,000, a 5-day course at VOGUE College of Fashion in London and an overseas study trip sponsored by VOGUE Hong Kong, with a total value of HK$ 30,000.     MY FAVOURITE COLLECTION Designer: Lam Chun Ni, Jenny Design: The Old Si-Fut and New Chai The design: “I want to use design to respond to these words” “The Old Si-Fut and New Chai” is set against the backdrop of Hong Kong’s workplace, exploring the dynamic between the veteran "old-timers" (si-futs) and the "rookies" (new chais). She translates common workplace dictums—such as "be humble," "talk less," and "endure hardship before you succeed"—into design elements, capturing a state of mind caught between wanting to follow the rules and the urge to rebel. Prizes: HK$ 30,000 Lee Gardens Area e-Gift Certificate sponsored by Hysan For more photos from the grand finale, please visit: https://bit.ly/466pyDc Saito Chong (wearing YAMA GUEST) Dong Dong (left, wearing elio) and Cheuk Laam (right, wearing STUDIO REDEMPTIVE) Karl Ting (wearing Voyage)   Inky Leong (wearing KOWLOON CITY BOY) William Chang   Ah Mui (left, wearing BICY YIP, elio), Amy Echulace (centre, wearing JACL, elio), Jason Hong (right, wearing MARCCH, KOWLOON CITY BOY) MINI Guest Benny (left, wearing KOWLOON CITY BOY), his father (centre, wearing STUDIO REDEMPTIVE, KOWLOON CITY BOY, elio), Dylan So (right, MOODLABBYLORRAINE, KOWLOON CITY BOY) Ocean On (left, wearing BICY YIP) and Ray So (right, wearing STUDIO REDEMPTIVE, YAMA GUEST) MINI HK has been the lead sponsor of the YDC for ten consecutive years.

FASHIONALLY COLLECTION #26 showcased the latest works of MARCCH, MURFI LAU, and OUS; while phenotypsetter, Oplus2, and Szmannie launched their new collections via FASHIONALLY Presentation.   FASHIONALLY COLLECTION #26 MARRCH / Theme: “Decay” MURFI LAU / Theme: “Faust of Victoria” OUS / Theme: “Hex-Grid Domain” For further details regarding the FASHIONALLY designers and their collections, please refer to the following link: here   FASHIONALLY Presentation: phenotypsetter Theme: Layers of Spontaneity The collection, Layers of Spontaneity, captures the poetic transition from a workspace "mess" to an intentional masterpiece. It is an attitude rendered in cloth—where rigid tailoring meets the fluid decay of found textiles. Through an exclusive monochromatic lens, the collection utilizes unconventional silhouettes, tactile fabric manipulations, upcycled elements, and spontaneous layering to build a narrative of textured imperfection. It is a celebration of the impromptu touch, inviting the individual to co-create the final silhouette.   FASHIONALLY Presentation: Oplus2 Theme: My Wayward One The new collection explores the transformative power of form and structure through the lens of “flower structure”—how petals, stems, and branching forms create both stability and effortless movement. Inspired by the way flowers are engineered by nature, the collection interprets floral geometry as a foundation for personal expression, turning organic design language into wearable silhouettes.   FASHIONALLY Presentation: Szmannie Theme: The Devotion Inspired by 1920s Art Deco, this collection fuses bold geometric lines with delicate Oriental grace. We celebrate the independent woman through ethereal feather accents, intricate embroidery, and artisanal layering. Each piece balances vintage opulence with modern architectural silhouettes, embodying a spirit that is free, resilient, and unapologetic. In the heart of winter, these designs stand as a testament to the power of feminine autonomy, blending rich textures and precise craftsmanship to create an elegant, contemporary aesthetic that defies compromise.

Meanwhile, the Click2Match smart business matching platform remains open until 12 September, allowing exhibitors and buyers worldwide to continue their business discussions online. To celebrate the 45th edition of the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair, the organiser specially created a “Time Tunnel”, allowing visitors to journey through the fair’s history and revisit three key milestones since its inception in 1982. Over the five-day fair, over 17,000 trade buyers from 115 countries and regions attended to source watch and clock products. Buyers from outside Hong Kong mainly came from the Chinese Mainland, Taiwan, India, Japan, Russia and the US, as well as ASEAN countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. Buyer attendance from North America, ASEAN and Latin America recorded significant growth, underscoring Hong Kong’s pivotal role as an international trading centre and premier sourcing hub for the global watch and clock industry in Asia. The 45th Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and the 14th Salon de TIME concluded successfully yesterday, attracting over 17,000 buyers from 115 countries and regions who visited the fairs to source products and explore business opportunities. Salon de TIME was fully open to the public with free admission. Together with CENTRESTAGE, held concurrently, the two events attracted over 20,000 public visits for shopping and visits, showcasing the latest products from more than 400 watch and fashion brands. Salon de TIME was fully open to the public, inviting visitors to explore the latest watch collections, shop for their favourite timepieces and participate in a wide range of exciting onsite activities. HKTDC Associate Executive Director Smilely Lam said: "As the world's largest one-stop watch and clock marketplace, the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and Salon de TIME connect the entire value chain spanning manufacturing, sourcing and brand promotion, bringing together brands, watchmakers, suppliers, retailers, collectors, watch media and enthusiasts from around the world to create a comprehensive industry ecosystem. This year, Salon de TIME attracted more than 150 brands from across the globe, achieving a record scale and further enhancing the fair's international profile and diversity. The number of exhibitors in the Microbrands zone doubled compared with last year. From what we observed at the fair, there is strong market demand for microbrands, Guochao-inspired watches, and cross-industry collaborations, reflecting consumers' growing appreciation for personalised designs, cultural and creative elements, and compelling brand stories. World Brand Piazza, a signature attraction of Salon de TIME, showcased six world-renowned watch brands.This year, Salon de TIME featured many Chinese Mainland brands and renowned independent watchmakers showcasing Guochao timepieces, including Shanghai Watch, FIYTA, and Zbioland. The fairs created opportunities for industry players worldwide to connect, collaborate and forge business partnerships, and also fully demonstrated Hong Kong's strengths as an international trading platform by attracting global opportunities to Hong Kong while helping Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland enterprises and brands expand into overseas markets." Survey finds strong growth prospects in Latin America and Korea During the fair, HKTDC conducted a survey, interviewing around 890 exhibitors and buyers to gain insights into the future development of the global watch and clock industry, as well as industry perceptions of market prospects and product trends. The survey found that 50% of respondents expect overall sales to increase over the next 12 to 24 months, while 43% anticipate sales will remain stable. Respondents identified the following target markets as offering promising or very promising growth prospects for the watch and clock industry over the next two years such as Latin America (68%), Korea (67%), the Middle East (64%), Australia (64%) and South Africa (64%). Regarding product trends, 37% of respondents believe fashion watches offer the greatest growth potential, followed by smart watches (30%) and casual watches (26%). Exhibitors and buyers report robust business results A representative of the Hengyang, Hunan pavilion, Lu Yalan, Brand Manager of Nanyue Watches at Hunan Shengshi Weide Technology Co., Ltd., said: “The Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair is an international event that fully leverages Hong Kong’s unique strengths as a gateway connecting the Chinese Mainland and the world, as well as its blend of Eastern and Western cultures, making it an ideal platform for us to expand into overseas markets. We have already connected with potential buyers from India, Italy, and Malaysia, including an Italian buyer who is interested in purchasing 2,000 watches. We expect sales generated during the five-day fair to exceed US$3 million. Through HKTDC’s extensive international business network, we hope to bring watches that embody distinctive Chinese cultural elements to a wider range of overseas markets.” Chauncey Chiu, Senior Sales Manager, Peacock Watch (Group) Co., Ltd., said: “Global recognition of Chinese watchmaking has continued to grow in recent years, and we are leveraging the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair to further expand into overseas markets, particularly Europe and the US. This year, we have also made first-time connections with new customers from Kuwait and Mexico. During the fair, we secured orders every day, and we expect total sales generated from this year’s fair to exceed RMB10 million.” Nabil Dabaan, CEO of Jovial, a watch wholesaler and retailer from the United Arab Emirates, said: “During this year’s fair, we expect to source approximately US$1 million worth of watch components from nine suppliers, including two newly identified suppliers. In addition, we plan to purchase around US$250,000 worth of packaging boxes, shopping bags and display materials.” CN Innovations Limited, which has participated every Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair since the beginning, marked the fair’s 45th edition this year by showcasing innovative achievements, including 3D-printed titanium watches. SK Chong, Business Development Director of CN Innovation Limited, said: “We have participated in the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair for 45 consecutive years, and it remains an irreplaceable platform for our business. Over the years, the fair's role has evolved significantly, transforming from a venue focused primarily on direct, transaction-driven trade into a strategic platform for industry exchange and market promotion. As the world's largest importer of watches and a leading exporter, Hong Kong offers the ideal stage to showcase our rich heritage and our latest innovations and R&D achievements.” At Salon de TIME, several exhibitors showcased watches inspired by the Guochao trend. Among them, Sun International Concepts Ltd. presented five renowned Chinese Mainland watch brands, including creations by Xushu Ma, Zehua Tan and Lin Yonghua, members of the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI) from the Chinese Mainland, who showcased their craftsmanship through distinctive Chinese timepieces. David Sun, the company's Executive Director, said the company received 17 enquiries for bespoke timepieces, including eight from Dubai, the Philippines, Thailand and other overseas markets, generating customised watch orders totalling HK$4 million. He added that the exhibition provides an effective platform for brands to connect with collectors and overseas distributors, helping Chinese Mainland brands expand into overseas retail channels and international markets. As an international platform, the fair also supports brands in expanding their overseas distribution networks and accelerating their global growth. Leveraging the Salon de TIME as an important platform for international expansion, Sea-Gull Watch and Shanghai Watch also held product launch events during the fair, showcasing Chinese watchmaking craftsmanship and innovative technologies to the international market. George Xu, CEO, Fosun Watch Group, said: “The two brands have engaged with customers from markets including India, the Middle East, Russia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. We expect sales generated from this year’s exhibition to exceed HK$1 million. Over the years, the fair has also helped us gradually expand into overseas markets. For example, a Turkish client we met at last year’s fair is now in the process of opening a dedicated retail store in Turkey. Hong Kong is also a very important market for us. Following the encouraging response to the opening of our first store in Tsim Sha Tsui earlier this year, we plan to launch our flagship store in Central after the fair. This will further strengthen our brand presence and expand our influence in both the Hong Kong and overseas markets.” The Microbrands zone attracted 29 brands from eight countries and regions this year, more than double the number recorded last year. Making its debut at the fair, MicroMilspec, an independent watch brand from Norway, showcased its new Field Master timepiece in the pavilion and received an overwhelmingly positive response. Katarina Halvorssen, Customer Relationship Management & Sales Manager, MicroMilspec, said: “More than 170 visitors came to our booth on the first day alone, including customers from Hong Kong, India, the Philippines and the United Arab Emirates. We estimate potential sales of around US$29,000. For us, the fair is not only an opportunity to showcase our brand, but also an important gateway to the Asian market.” Watchcatavlog from Hong Kong, a returning exhibitor, showcased 10 microbrands this year. Its Founder, Ciff Luk, said: “Salon de TIME allows watch enthusiasts to try on and experience the timepieces firsthand through wrist trials, while also helping brands connect directly with international buyers. We expect sales to reach HK$280,000. Visitor inquiries have increased 20% year-on-year, and we have attracted interest from buyers in Brazil, Canada, India, Kuwait, the Philippines, Singapore, and the US. Both visitor traffic and buyer quality have improved this year.” WOLF, the luxury watch storage and watch winder brand from the UK, made its debut at the Fair and launched Rocket, the world’s most compact travel watch winder, during the exhibition. Michael Jappert, Global Sales Director, WOLF 1834, Limited, said: “Through HKTDC’s Click2Match business matching platform, we have connected with around 40 potential buyers from markets including the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Dubai, Japan, Korea, the Middle East and the US. The platform has enabled us to efficiently identify and engage with quality business prospects from around the world.” Amarildo Pilo, Owner of PILO & CO SA and Founder of the Swiss Independent Watchmakers Pavilion (SIWP), said: “The fair’s international reach is a key reason why we continue to participate, helping us connect with buyers from Asia, the Middle East and the US. We have met more than 10 clients interested in our products, including three new contacts from Kazakhstan and a buyer from the Chinese Mainland. The SIWP Pavilion has also grown from 10 brands last year to 14 this year, reflecting how HKTDC’s platform helps Swiss independent brands explore new distribution opportunities and further expand into international markets.” The fairs featured a strong lineup of international exhibitors, including the Swiss Independent Watchmakers Pavilion (SIWP) from Switzerland (above) and Francéclat from France. LINK2CARE, in collaboration with Swiss watch brand MARVIN, launched a luxury smartwatch that integrates LINK2CARE’s patented leather strap with concealed, medical-grade biometric sensors. The watch provides comprehensive health monitoring and can track users’ resilience and stress levels in real time, with the data displayed directly on the watch dial. Paul Yuen, Director, Dayton Industrial Co. Ltd, said: “The fair attracted a diverse range of buyers from around the world. We also established a cross-industry partnership with a tour guide to explore new opportunities in the wellness tourism sector. Our watches, priced at over HK$2,000, sold more than 100 units on the first day alone, requiring immediate stock replenishment. In addition, the organiser’s newly introduced Time Arena activity zone, which incorporated trendy elements such as pickleball, significantly enhanced visitor engagement and attracted buyers and consumers from different backgrounds, creating more business opportunities for brands.” Salon de TIME once again offered free admission to the public, with some brands providing on-site retail sales. Abel Hwong, Publisher & Anchor, World of Luxury Times, led a 26-member delegation to the fair to purchase watches. He said: “We purchased 12 watches from three brands, with a total value exceeding HK$100,000. The fair lets collectors interact directly with brands and buy the timepieces they want, turning collecting enthusiasm into real purchases. It also helps brands connect with more watch enthusiasts and potential customers.” HKTDC will organise a series of trade fairs this autumn. The Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) and electronicAsia will be held concurrently at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) from 13 to 16 October. The Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition) will follow, to be held at the HKCEC from 27 to 30 October, and the Hong Kong International Outdoor and Tech Light Expo will take place at AsiaWorld-Expo from 26 to 29 October. All four fairs will adopt the EXHIBITION+ hybrid format, enabling global buyers and exhibitors to continue business discussions online after the physical exhibitions.

The fair also drew a record number of local and international buyers for sourcing and business matching, including those from top-tier retail giants with global sales networks such as the United Kingdom’s Dover Street Market London and Selfridges, Italy’s 10 Corso Como, and Korea’s Musinsa. The dynamic interactions between exhibitors and buyers demonstrated that the fair successfully fostered cross-sector exchanges among fashion, art, cultural creativity, and lifestyle industries, opening up innovative modes of collaboration. This reflects how the fashion industry is rapidly integrating with diverse creative fields to unlock greater commercial potential. More than a showcase of design creativity, CENTRESTAGE serves as a vital platform that helps brands enhance visibility, expand business opportunities, and reach international markets." The annual mega event CENTRESTAGE gathered some 270 brands from 24 countries and regions to participate, with the number of participating brands reaching a record high this year.The Austrian pavilion made its debut at CENTRESTAGE, presenting seven sustainable fashion brands, including Woody, which carries on a classic wooden-clog craft with more than a century of history.On the third day of the fair, a Korean fashion show themed “SEOUListic: The Future is Sustainable” further showcased Korean designers’ creativity and sustainability ethos. Former IZ*ONE member Lee Chaeyeon performed as a special guest. The atmosphere was electrifying, underscoring the international appeal of Korean fashion. Industry optimistic about streetwear brands markets as cross sector collaboration becomes a key trend To understand the latest developments and market trends in the fashion industry, the HKTDC interviewed over 350 exhibitors and buyers on-site during the fair. The survey revealed an optimistic sentiment among respondents, with 96% expecting overall sales to remain steady or grow in the next 12 to 24 months. In terms of product trends, 58% of respondents identified fashion design as the most popular product category. Meanwhile, streetwear and cross-sector collaboration emerged as focal points, with 73% agreeing or strongly agreeing that brand crossovers and IP partnerships will become increasingly prevalent in the coming year, underscoring the market potential of integrating fashion with streetwear brands and IPs. Responding to the rapid development of streetwear in recent years, CENTRESTAGE introduced the brand-new Hype² pavilion for the first time this year, spotlighting multiple fashion labels spearheaded by local celebrities and KOLs. Several brands launched about 30 limited-edition and debut products during the fair, with celebrities also visited the zone for close interaction with fans. Fashion brand and online store Claro was founded this year by actress Rosita Kwok. She said: “We joined the fair to strengthen the positioning of the new brand and to stay on top of market trends. During the event, we attracted interest from buyers in the Chinese Mainland, Japan and Germany, laying a foundation for future market expansion. Through direct engagement with shoppers and fans at the fair, we were also able to gather valuable feedback for the brand.” CENTRESTAGE introduced the Hype² pavilion for the first time this year, launching about 30 limited-edition and debut products during the exhibition period. The "Hype² Fashion Show" was also held during the fair, with over 10 trendsetting brands collectively showcasing their design characteristics and brand styles in a bustling atmosphere. Cross-sector collaboration collections also caught the attention of buyers. Local designer Janko Lam's brand "Classics Anew" collaborated with ink painting artist Kan Tai-keung, transforming Kan's ink art into inspiration. Their first collaboration collection, "Quartet", was officially launched at CENTRESTAGE. This year’s CENTRESTAGE also strengthened on-the-ground support for local exhibiting brands. Ronald Chan, founder of gothic silver jewellery brand Devil Claw and a participant in the pre-fair workshop, said: “The mentors provided highly valuable practical guidance. The workshop made me realise that international buyers look beyond design and price, and place even greater importance on a brand’s operational capability and potential for long-term partnership.” He added that the brand generated tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in on-site retail sales during the exhibition and entered discussions with new buyers from France and Taiwan. Designer Janko Lam's brand "Classics Anew" and ink painting artist Kan Tai-keung launched their collaborative fashion collection "Quartet" at the fair. Both attended in person to show their support, demonstrating the infinite possibilities of cross-sector collaboration. Active business exchanges between brands and buyers as the platform plays a superconnector roleKorea debuted as the "Featured Partner" of the fair for the first time. Jointly organised by the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), HISEOUL SHOWROOM, and the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Hong Kong, presenting 12 renowned designer brands from Seoul. In addition, the Gyeonggi Fashion Creative Studio brings 10 distinguished fashion labels from Gyeonggi Province. Wilfred Chung, Project Manager of KOTRA Hong Kong, commended CENTRESTAGE’s quality business-matching environment. He said the stylish and sophisticated setting brings fresh experiences: “Visitor traffic on the pavilion’s opening day exceeded expectations, attracting more than 400 visits. Some brands have already reached deals with Hong Kong buyers to launch offline retail at a major shopping mall in Kai Tak.” In addition to connecting with Hong Kong buyers, CENTRESTAGE also helped brands in the Korean pavilion expand into international markets. Antonio Shin, founder and designer of the namesake Korean fashion brand, presented the SS27 Collection featuring local fabrics and production. The brand successfully connected with department stores, chain retailers and specialty-store buyers from the Chinese Mainland, France, Germany, Kazakhstan, Russia and Thailand. First-time exhibitor Asparagus, a Seoul-based avant-garde brand offering genderless high-end fashion, also drew strong buyer interest. Founder and designer Je Lee said: “The brand attracted attention from buyers in the Chinese Mainland, Southeast Asia and Australia. The fair is expected to generate initial orders of about US$6,000 to US$7,000, giving us a strong boost as we expand in the Asian market.” Including Korea, this year's CENTRESTAGE brings together exhibitors from 24 countries and regions, among which Austria, Colombia, the Faroe Islands, Malaysia, Slovakia, and the United Arab Emirates participated for the first time. Jennifer Feigll, Consul (Commercial Affairs) and Austrian Trade Commissioner for Hong Kong and Macao, and Head of Advantage Austria Hong Kong, led a national pavilion for the first time in the Circular Fashion zone, presenting seven sustainable brands, most of which were making their debut in Asia. She said: “The fair is an excellent starting point for entering Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area and the wider Asian market. A number of brands have already begun discussions with buyers. Cape De Coeur’s waterproof cape, in particular, was featured by leading fashion titles Vogue and GQ.” Marianne Perkovic, Executive Chair, Australian Fashion Council, once again led a delegation to Hong Kong. She said: “The original plan of about 120 buyer meetings over the four-day fair increased to 180, with the strongest interest coming from buyers in Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland, Indonesia and Korea. The team is now in talks with a major local shopping mall in Hong Kong on pop-up and long-term store collaborations for a new project scheduled to open in 2027. In addition, leather brand West 14th has already secured concrete partnerships with buyers from Korea and Japan.”  The Canadian pavilion was led by the Consulate General of Canada in Hong Kong and Macao, bringing together a lineup of women-founded and women-led premium brands. The fair attracted international buyers from leading department stores including Sophie Rose Davis-Evans, menswear and streetwear buyer at renowned British department store Selfridges, who was visiting CENTRESTAGE for the first time. She noted that the fair's diverse portfolio of brands provides an excellent platform for discovering emerging labels with strong potential for the UK and Western European markets. She said: “I met with more than 10 emerging brands during the fair, and two Hong Kong labels, peces and MURFI LAU, stood out in particular. We are negotiating a wholesale partnership.” Tifandy Okto, General Manager of Indonesia’s Galeries Lafayette, also overseeing sourcing for Sogo and Seibu, “We are particularly interested in Australia’s VICETA WANG and Chinese Mainland brand WANZZZ. Subject to suitable commercial terms, we plan to introduce their products to our retail outlets.” Richie Chan, founder of well-known Chengdu fashion store Triple Major, visited the fair for the first time and spoke highly of the exhibition, noting that it successfully met his dual objectives of retail sourcing and elevating his own fashion brand. He placed three orders on the spot, including Danish brand Henrik Vibskov, which meets Paris Fashion Week standards, and Thai brand Collector Project, founded by a graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Belgium. He also connected with Austrian premium fabric supplier Lenzing to upgrade his own brand, and described the visit as highly rewarding. The fair featured seven themed zones covering a diverse range of fashion sectors and design styles. New this year, the Perfume zone brought together renowned fragrance brands from around the world, with more than 20 brands making their Hong Kong debut. The zone attracted strong visitor interest and maintained a lively atmosphere throughout the fair. Moon Li, Founder of Artis Cultural Association, praised the fair's extensive media exposure and sophisticated presentation, noting that both had provided participating international perfume brands with outstanding visibility and results that far exceeded expectations. She said: "We were pleasantly surprised by the large number of fragrance enthusiasts in Hong Kong and their strong purchasing power. We expect on-site retail sales during the fair to reach HK$100,000." The fair also arranged business matching sessions to help exhibitors explore further collaboration opportunities. Looking ahead, Li expressed her special hope that, through CENTRESTAGE, the Perfume zone could evolve into Hong Kong's flagship fragrance event. The newly introduced Perfume zone this year brought together well-known fragrance brands from around the world. The area was lively, with steady streams of visitors. Record-breaking over 30 fashion shows and designers actively showcase new collectionsOver 40 captivating events were held during the fair, including more than 30 fashion shows, setting a record high in the event's history. This not only brought a rich visual feast to the industry and the public but also fully demonstrated the vitality and advantages of Hong Kong as a "mega-event capital". The event also underscored designers' commitment to presenting their latest collections, showcasing the exchange and integration of local and international fashion creativity. The grand opening fashion show, CENTRESTAGE ELITES, took place first on 2 September, putting the spotlight on KIT WAN STUDIOS, a multidisciplinary design and visual art studio. Over 30 brand-new looks that had never been publicly released or exhibited made their debut at the fashion show, stunning the entire audience. Kit Wan also engaged in an in-depth exchange with Dan Hastings, Editor of The Business of Fashion, freely discussing the brand's experience in expanding into overseas markets and insights on creative inspiration. The venue was packed, and the audience responded enthusiastically. Hong Kong-born visual artist Kit Wan attended a sharing session to have an in-depth exchange with Dan Hastings, Editor of The Business of Fashion. Another spotlight event, the Fashion Hong Kong Runway Show, was held on 3 September, presenting meticulously crafted Spring/Summer 2027 collections by four highly representative homegrown designer labels—112 mountainyam, ANGUS TSUI, ARTY:ACTIVE, and Z I D I.  Under the theme "Hong Kong Dopamine", the four designers drew inspiration from the city's streetscapes, architecture, cultural memories and urban energy. Through their Spring/Summer 2027 collections, they interpreted the concept of dopamine from different perspectives, spanning joy, black humour, dynamic movement and quiet resilience, delivering a runway experience infused with Hong Kong's distinctive creative spirit. As a platform to promote local fashion brands and designers, the fashion website FASHIONALLY.COM continued to hold four fashion presentations during CENTRESTAGE this year, including FASHIONALLY Collection #26 and three FASHIONALLY Presentations, where local brands MARCCH, MURFI LAU, OUS, phenotypsetter, Oplus2, and Szmannie unveiled their latest collections. In addition, multiple local fashion brands also launched their latest collections through the CENTRESTAGE stage, including KEVYIU's "Inherited Silhouette" collection, transforming menswear elements from the 1970s and 1980s into womenswear, combining their signature fluid lines with distinctive, masterful tailoring.

According to the announcement, Shougang Industrial Investment (Beijing) Technology Innovation Co., Ltd currently holds approximately 24.84% of Beijing Robot Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (the “Robot Leasing Company”) and, subject to applicable laws and regulations and requisite regulatory and approval procedures, intends to transfer the relevant shares to Capital Industrial Financial Services. The potential acquisition further demonstrates the Company’s strategy of extending its established supply chain management capabilities into the robotics value chain. Going forward, Capital Industrial Financial Services plans to broaden its presence across the upstream and downstream segments of the robotics value chain. Through supply chain management, equipment leasing and related services, it aims to progressively connect component and equipment suppliers, robot manufacturers, corporate end-users and a range of real-world use cases, while further developing services in equipment deployment, demand matching, supply-demand coordination, system integration and data services. Integrating the Upstream and Downstream Robotics Value Chain: Synergies Across Supply Chain, Use Cases and Data Services According to the Company’s announcement and publicly available information, the Robot Leasing Company, formerly known as Beijing State-owned Assets Financial Leasing Co., Ltd., was established in March 2014 and completed its business transformation in 2025. Under a “robotics + leasing” model, it supports the deployment of robots in real-world use cases, with a focus on addressing the “last mile” of commercialisation and adoption for innovative products. It primarily purchases robot assets from upstream equipment manufacturers and provides end users with access to equipment and related leasing services, thereby linking the upstream and downstream segments of the robotics value chain. The model is well suited to an industry characterised by rapid technological iteration, the need for real-world validation and demanding operations and maintenance requirements. The Robot Leasing Company currently serves areas including healthcare, education, elderly care, landscaping and water services, industrial manufacturing, commercial services, exhibitions and performances, and sporting events. it had connected with a cumulative 300 application scenarios, established business relationships with more than 130 robot manufacturers and facilitated the deployment of about 500 robots. On the upstream side, Capital Industrial Financial Services plans to further extend its existing supply chain management capabilities into the robotics sector, leveraging operations and factoring services to facilitate transactions across the value chain and accelerate robot deployment. This is intended to create a business model in which supply chain services and real-world applications reinforce one another. On the downstream side, the Company plans to address real-world demand through equipment leasing and scenario-based operations. Continued expansion of healthcare, education, landscaping, commercial, industrial-park and manufacturing use cases is expected to directly drive demand for robot procurement and equipment deployment. Going forward, the Company may connect equipment manufacturers with end customers across equipment selection, use-case matching, delivery, operations and maintenance, and post-lease services, allowing downstream demand to drive upstream procurement and gradually creating a cycle of “application demand – equipment deployment – supply chain procurement”. Data and platform services represent a third area of expansion. Leveraging real-world environments within the Shougang ecosystem, including steel, industrial parks, healthcare and intelligent manufacturing, the Company may further expand into demand identification, supply-demand and procurement matching, system integration and online leasing. In this model, the upstream supply chain addresses “where to source”, downstream use cases address “where to deploy”, while data and platform services capture usage feedback and supply-demand information. Together, these elements can form an integrated value chain spanning supply chain coordination, equipment deployment, use-case operations and data services. Accelerating Healthcare Supply Chain Expansion: Procurement Demand Connects Healthcare Institutions with Upstream Suppliers On the same day, in a separate voluntary announcement, Capital Industrial Financial Services disclosed that Beijing West Business Factoring Company Limited, an associate in which the Company holds a 41.41% interest, entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with SHOUYI HEALTHCARE INVESTMENT CO., LTD (“Shouyi Healthcare”) and approved a credit limit of RMB200 million for healthcare supply chain financing projects. The parties will collaborate on commercial factoring and supply chain services across the healthcare supply chain, focusing on procurement activities and supplier-related needs involving pharmaceuticals, medical consumables and medical equipment. Unlike the robotics business, where the entry point is equipment and real-world applications, the healthcare supply chain is anchored more directly in actual procurement. Procurement of pharmaceuticals, medical consumables and medical equipment connects healthcare institutions with a broad network of upstream suppliers, creating demand for supply chain services around working capital and accounts receivable. From a business synergy perspective, Capital Industrial Financial Services can leverage these procurement activities to develop commercial factoring and supply chain services addressing the working-capital and accounts-receivable needs between healthcare institutions and upstream suppliers, creating a tangible avenue for extending the Company’s supply chain management capabilities into healthcare. Interim Revenue Rises 99% Year on Year, with Supply Chain Management Emerging as the Main Growth Driver Alongside its expansion into new business areas, Capital Industrial Financial Services’ existing supply chain business has continued to scale. In the first half of 2026, the Company recorded revenue of approximately HK$95.15 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 99% and nearly double the level in the corresponding period. Revenue from the supply chain management and financial technology business amounted to approximately HK$68.00 million, up 321% year on year and accounting for approximately 71.5% of the Group’s total revenue, making it the Group’s largest source of revenue. This indicates that supply chain management is becoming a core capability connecting procurement, suppliers, equipment and real-world applications. At the same time, the Company maintained a sound asset position. As at the end of June, total assets amounted to approximately HK$1.969 billion, while capital and reserves attributable to owners of the Company were approximately HK$1.505 billion. Cash and cash equivalents stood at approximately HK$288 million, and the current ratio was 11.88 times, indicating ample overall liquidity. Rights Issue Price at a Deep Discount to Book Value Enhances Subscription Appeal Against the backdrop of rapid growth in its supply chain management business and continued expansion into new industry areas such as robotics and healthcare, Capital Industrial Financial Services has also launched a capital exercise. The Company proposed to consolidate every 50 existing shares into one consolidated share, followed by a rights issue of one rights share for every one consolidated share at a subscription price of HK$6.25 per rights share. Up to approximately 79.0788 million rights shares may be issued, with maximum net proceeds of approximately HK$488 million. For existing shareholders, taking up their rights entitlements on a pro rata basis may help preserve their relative ownership interests in the enlarged share capital while allowing them to participate in the potential growth generated by the Company’s next phase of business expansion. More importantly, the rights issue price represents a substantial discount to book value. As at the end of June 2026, capital and reserves attributable to owners of the Company were approximately HK$1.505 billion. Based on the theoretical post-consolidation share count, net asset value per share was approximately HK$19.03, implying a discount of approximately 67% for the HK$6.25 rights issue price. As the supply chain business continues to scale and the Company advances its expansion into robotics, healthcare and other new industry areas, its capital strength and financial flexibility are expected to be further enhanced. The sizeable discount to book value, together with expectations for continued business expansion, is also an important factor likely to draw market attention to the rights issue. Overall, Capital Industrial Financial Services is advancing its expansion into new industry use cases in robotics and healthcare. In robotics, development is progressing across both upstream and downstream segments of the value chain: upstream, the Company is extending into component and equipment supply chains; downstream, it is addressing real-world demand through equipment leasing and use-case operations, while further expanding into supply-demand matching, system integration, and data and platform services. Together, these activities are gradually creating a business chain spanning supply chain coordination, equipment deployment, real-world applications and supporting services. In healthcare, the Company is leveraging procurement of pharmaceuticals, medical consumables and medical equipment to develop commercial factoring and supply chain services around the needs of healthcare institutions, upstream suppliers and accounts-receivable financing. Building on its existing business base, Capital Industrial Financial Services is progressively applying its supply chain management, financial leasing, commercial factoring and financial technology capabilities across new sectors and use cases, including robotics, intelligent manufacturing and healthcare, while exploring opportunities in robot leasing and operations. As these businesses move towards implementation, the Company’s future growth drivers are expected to shift from the expansion of individual businesses towards a model of “replicating supply chain capabilities across multiple use cases”, building a business system centred on supply chain management, industrial technology and industrial finance services. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Business, sport and a cause: WhiteBIT Australia hosts the Huddle Up in Melbourne 2026-09-05 · GlobeNewswire · Sports https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/09/05/3356857/0/en/business-sport-and-a-cause-whitebit-australia-hosts-the-huddle-up-in-melbourne.html Super Bowl XXIX Champion and five-time Pro Bowler Ricky Watters will join an invitation-only group of Australian business leaders on September 10 for an evening supporting a proposed flag football program for children in Lviv.

The show received enthusiastic acclaim from a multitude of industry professionals, celebrities and fashion enthusiasts in attendance, including luminaries such as Kay Tse, Kevin Chu, Tony Wu, Locker Lam, Jessica Chan, etc. Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and sponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, CENTRESTAGE is now in full swing and runs until 5 September at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

This duality allows nature to converse with technology and heritage to move with the future, ultimately letting quiet exteriors give way to vibrant souls. ANGUS TSUI (Designer: Angus Tsui) Spring/Summer 2027 Collection Brand: ANGUS TSUI; Collection: 404: Ha Ha Haunting Drawing creative inspiration from the dark humour and traditional local elements of Hong Kong's 1980s horror film culture, the collection seeks to construct a dark humour fashion narrative. Through the juxtaposition and reassembly of multiple eras and aesthetics, it turns each garment into a spiritual sanctuary where one can still laugh in the face of fear. ARTY:ACTIVE (Designer: Gary Tsang) Spring/Summer 2027 Collection Brand: ARTY:ACTIVE; Collection: Messy Symphonic Inspired by the beautiful chaos of Hong Kong after dark, the collection thrives on contrast, melding the raw glow of traditional streets with the sleek, silent glass of the future. Engineered for athletic movement and styled for the street, it introduces a lifestyle of dynamic wellness, designed to embrace the friction of a city that never stops moving. Z I D I (Designer: Nathan Moy) Spring/Summer 2027 Collection Brand: Z I D I; Collection: AETHER As an inquiry into weightlessness, the collection explores how near-invisible forces can shift how the body moves. Through an act of structural will and material memory, the designer creates silhouettes aimed at defeating gravity, offering not just the fragility of air, but the lightness of defiance in an age of intangible intelligence.

Over the past four decades, Savills has witnessed and driven the dynamic development of Hong Kong’s urban landscape. Building on its legacy while staying true to its original mission, the Company has resolved to give back to society through concrete actions that are both meaningful and heartfelt. On the eve of its 40th anniversary celebrations, the Company is proud to announce the official launch of the new “Savills Volunteer Team”, calling on all colleagues to take action and extend their professional expertise to every corner of the community in need of care, thereby marking a truly moving and meaningful beginning to this momentous occasion. Harnessing Colleagues’ Enthusiasm to Establish Volunteer Team and Demonstrate Great Compassion Savills firmly believes that a company’s success lies not only in its business achievements, but also in its commitment to and care for society. Coinciding with this important milestone of the Company’s 40th anniversary, the establishment of the volunteer team represents a shared commitment across the organisation to turn its corporate culture of “caring for the community and giving back to society” into a continuous stream of concrete actions. Through this volunteer platform, colleagues are encouraged to step outside the office and connect with, listen to and support vulnerable groups from all walks of life, spreading warmth and hope to the community. First Stop: Partnering with “MercyHK” to Support People Experiencing Homelessness and Those in Recovery Shortly after its establishment, the volunteer team launched its first meaningful community service initiative. Recently, a group of Savills volunteers gathered at the “MercyHK Centre” to share a meal and engage in heartfelt conversations with people experiencing homelessness, those in drug rehabilitation, and other members of the community in need. Through heartfelt conversations, the volunteers gained a deeper understanding of their needs and provided holistic support covering physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being. During the event, one guest courageously shared their personal journey of recovery from drug addiction. Their honest account deeply moved everyone present, giving the volunteers a profound appreciation of the importance of companionship and showing genuine care in helping people rebuild their lives. After taking part in the activity, Ms Catharine Luo from the Investment Department shared: “This event reminded me just how meaningful it is to keep showing up for others. These moments don't just fill your time; they fill your heart and change your outlook on life. I was deeply moved by the participants’ sincere stories. Their experiences made me reflect on how fragile life can become when everything falls apart, and how powerful it is when someone finds their way again. One piece of advice in particular has stayed with me: ‘Approach others with genuine care, let them know you want to understand them, and gently remind them that life still holds so many possibilities – and perhaps the best is yet to come’.” This sense of human connection lies at the very heart of why the volunteer team was established. Extending Love to Furry Friends: Visiting “House of Joy and Mercy” to Protect Animal Lives The spirit of care did not stop there. The following week, the Savills volunteer team gathered once again to visit “House of Joy and Mercy”, where they took part in an on-site cleaning activity and spent time with the abandoned and stray cats at the centre. Through hands-on cleaning and interaction, the volunteers offered practical care and warmth to the animals. After the activity, Mr Ken Hung from the Investment CEO Office shared his thoughts: “In fact, many cats aren’t born as strays; most come from illegal breeding farms. Once they lose their value for breeding or profit, people abandon them without a second thought.” He urged the public to pay greater attention to this issue, emphasising: “Every life deserves respect and kindness. Simply by spending time with them and showing them care, I’ve been able to bring warmth to their lives. It also reminds me to treat animals with a more responsible and caring attitude.” His words echoed the sentiments of all the volunteers – every life, just like ours, has value and emotions, and deserves to be loved and respected. Reaching Out to Down Syndrome and Autism Communities to Promote an Inclusive and Equal Society The Savills volunteer team’s community care initiatives continue. On 5 September, the volunteer team will be out in force again, partnering with the charitable organisation Love 21 Foundation to offer care and support to people with Down syndrome and autism. At the event, volunteers will engage with participants through sports, nutrition and a variety of activities, helping people of all abilities feel accepted and cared for by society. This collaboration marks a further extension of the Savills volunteer team’s services to various vulnerable communities, putting its commitment into action to promote an equal and inclusive society. A New Beginning for the 40th Anniversary: Creating Sustainable Social Impact The 40th anniversary is not only a tribute to past achievements, but also a starting point for looking ahead and beginning a new chapter. Through the official launch of its volunteer team, Savills Hong Kong has set the stage for its upcoming 40th anniversary celebrations in a deeply meaningful way. Going forward, the Company will continue to deepen its corporate social responsibility strategy, leverage its influence as an industry leader, and promote a broader range of charitable and community care initiatives. By working together with its colleagues, clients and members of the wider community, Savills Hong Kong aims to create lasting value and positive change for Hong Kong.

The growth in revenue was primarily attributable to the continued organic growth of the Group—driven by the accelerating adoption of digitalization across the global dental industry, particularly in Europe and Australia—alongside the stabilization and operational turnaround of the Mainland China market. This expansion was partially offset by a revenue decline in North America, which was impacted by a softer macroeconomic environment affecting high-value discretionary procedures, as well as management’s strategic decision to rationalize loss-making Dental Service Organization (DSO) accounts to optimize customer mix and protect margins. - The Gross Profit Margin for the six months ended 30 June 2026 was approximately 58.1%; the gross profit was approximately HK$1,180.9 million, reflecting an increase of approximately 17.4% as compared to the same period in 2025. - The Group’s EBITDA for the six months ended 30 June 2026 was approximately HK$ 560.7 million, representing an increase of approximately 22.8% as compared to the same period in 2025. - The Group’s Net Profit for the six months ended 30 June 2026 was approximately HK$ 377.6 million, representing an increase of 30.8% as compared to the same period in 2025. - Basic earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2026 amounted to HK40.07 cents, representing an increase of approximately 31.9% as compared to the same period in 2025. - The Board declared an interim dividend of HK14.0 cents per ordinary share for the six months ended 30 June 2026. ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS: - For the six months ended 30 June 2026, the Group’s digital solution cases that are produced from its Mainland China, Thailand and Vietnam production facilities increased to approximately 627,773 cases, reflecting an increase of 29.2% as compared with the same period in 2025 as a result of our clients’ continued adoption of intra-oral scanners. HONG KONG, August 28, 2026 - 27 August 2026, Modern Dental Group Limited (“Modern Dental” or “the Group”, stock code: 03600.HK), a leading global dental prosthetic device provider, is pleased to announce the unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June, 2026 (“the Period”). In the first half of 2026, the global macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, with geopolitical tensions and potential tariff changes continuing to create headwinds. However, the Group’s geographically diversified production footprint and global distribution network position us strongly to navigate these challenges. Unlike many competitors reliant on single-country manufacturing, our operations across China, Vietnam and Thailand (including the newly acquired Hexa Ceram) provide superior resilience and flexibility. This strategy, combined with our ability to adapt quickly to local market conditions, enables the Group to mitigate risks and capitalise on opportunities across regions. The dental industry has continued to demonstrate remarkable resilience, underpinned by irreversible demographic trends, including aging populations and increasing awareness of oral health, which drive consistent long-term demand. Building on our well performance, the Group is well placed to sustain momentum and further strengthen its market leadership. Digitalisation remains an irreversible industry trend that is accelerating consolidation of the dental prosthetics industry. We are at the forefront of this transformation, with digital solution cases now representing approximately 35–43% of total volume. Our centralized digital workflows, intra-oral scanner partnerships, proprietary solutions and global education centers have enhanced operational efficiency, reduced turnaround times and delivers superior customer experiences. These initiatives create high entry barriers and will continue to drive margin expansion and market share gains in the coming years. European Businesses During the period under review, the European market recorded a revenue of approximately HK$1,093.3 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$173.0 million as compared with the six months ended 30 June 2025. This geographic market accounted for approximately 53.8% of the Group’s total revenue. The increase of revenue from the European market was attributable to the increase in sales order volume driven by the launch of new products, such as digital dentures, and our state-of-the-art digital workflows. North American Businesses During the period under review, the North American market recorded a revenue of approximately HK$331.3 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$34.4 million as compared with the six months ended 30 June 2025. This geographic market accounted for approximately 16.3% of the Group’s total revenue. The top-line contraction in North America was primarily driven by a softer macroeconomic environment, which temporarily weighed on consumer sentiment and demand for high-value discretionary cosmetic procedures. In response, management proactively initiated a strategic rationalization of loss-making Dental Service Organization (DSO) accounts aimed at optimizing the customer mix, protecting gross margins, and focusing resources on higher-margin accounts. Concurrently, the Group’s diversified production footprint across the US, China, Vietnam, and Thailand continues to afford significant supply chain agility to navigate trade and tariff complexities—a key differentiator in the market. Demonstrating the resilience of this strategy, our US import business unit delivered a 1.4% period-on-period sales growth in the first half of 2026. This performance underscores how the accelerating trend toward clinical digitalization and the cost-competitiveness of our imported product lines have effectively mitigated and offset the impact of US tariffs. Greater China Businesses During the period under review, the Greater China market recorded a revenue of approximately HK$300.0 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$6.8 million as compared with six months ended 30 June 2025. This geographic market accounted for approximately 14.8% of the Group’s total revenue. Regional performance reflected diverging market dynamics across territories. In local currency terms, sales in Mainland China increased by approximately 0.9% year-on-year, signalling that the market has largely bottomed out from the initial impact of Volume-Based Procurement (VBP) policies and prolonged price competition. To protect sustainable profitability, the Group deliberately pivoted away from low-margin segments to focus on serving mid- to high-value customers. Conversely, sales in the Hong Kong market decreased by approximately 8.5% in local currency year-on-year. This contraction was primarily driven by a temporary reduction in local patient visits, as cross-border dental consumption increased due to aggressive promotions for dental treatments offered by Mainland China clinics targeting Hong Kong residents. Despite these near-term shifts, the Group remains optimistic about the mid- to long-term outlook for the Greater China region. Government procurement measures in Mainland China are expected to standardize prosthetic pricing and enhance market transparency, creating a more level playing field where the Group’s leading brand reputation, production scale, and operational efficiency serve as distinct competitive advantages. To capture evolving market demand, the Group is actively expanding its product portfolio, particularly in mid-end offerings and products. Australian Businesses During the period under review, the Australian market recorded a revenue of approximately HK$162.8 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$24.9 million as compared with the six months ended 30 June 2025. This geographic market accounted for approximately 8.0% of the Group’s total revenue. The increase in revenue from Australia was primarily driven by strong adoption of digital dental products and anti-snoring devices, and wins in dental service organization (DSO) customers. Other Markets Other markets primarily include Indian Ocean countries, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore and Thailand. For the six months ended 30 June 2026, these markets recorded a revenue of approximately HK$145.2 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$27.4 million as compared with the six months ended 30 June 2025. This geographic market accounted for approximately 7.1% of the Group’s total revenue. The increase in revenue from Other markets was primarily driven by the strong revenue contributions from Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia. The scaled manufacturing hubs in Thailand and Vietnam have enhanced regional supply efficiency, broadened product availability, and strengthened the Group’s competitive footprint in the region. Future Prospects and Strategies Looking ahead, the Group remains committed to reinforcing its worldwide leading position through a multi-dimensional approach. We will continue to pursue selective acquisitions, joint ventures and partnerships to expand and complement our product offerings, particularly in our high-growth clear aligner, Trioclear, while strengthening our distribution and sales networks. Ongoing investments in mass-scale production facilities, AI, automation, research and development, and digital innovation will drive efficiency gains and secure our position at the forefront of the industry. With the Board’s extensive experience and prudent governance, the Group is well positioned to seize new business opportunities while remaining strict financial discipline to safeguard Shareholders’ interests. The Board expresses its sincere gratitude to our dedicated employees, loyal customers, suppliers, and business partners for their unwavering commitment. Their collective efforts have been instrumental in delivering another year of record results and will continue to support the Group’s long-term success.

As part of the investment deal, Azalea will also become the founding member of SHIFT's Creator Advisory Board. The move comes at a time when the world's biggest creators, athletes and music artists are increasingly looking to multi-million-dollar equity opportunities in the creator economy - recent examples include MrBeast and the Paul brothers, Jake and Logan. AI is transforming how people make money online. For two decades, the creator economy has run on a simple trade: creators build the audience, and advertisers rent it. That era is ending. Advertising isn't going away, but something else is the future: fans paying creators directly, for subscriptions, communities, experiences and digital products. Direct monetisation is the fastest-growing force in a creator economy projected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2033 (Grand View Research), and it hands creators what advertising never did: ownership of their income. "I've spent my career watching the value creators generate flow everywhere except to the actual creators themselves," said Azalea. "Every now and then a Stripe or a Shopify comes along and changes who holds the leverage. I'm backing SHIFT to be that company for the creator economy. And I'm not just the face, I'm an owner." SHIFT's flagship platform, Fanvue, surpassed a $200 million annualised run rate in July - five months earlier the business hit $100m, making it the fastest-growing platform in the creator economy. The platform is home to Cardi B, footballer Alisha Lehmann, WNBA star Kysre Gondrezick and football journalist Fabrizio Romano. The business closed a $22 million Series A in January led by Inner Circle, the investment club whose portfolio includes Revolut, Anthropic and xAI. Fanvue was launched in 2020 by Joel Morris, Will Monange and Harry Fitzgerald. Morris, a teenage YouTube star with more than 2.5 million subscribers, saw the model from the inside: the audience was his, but the earnings ran through advertisers, not fans. Fanvue was built to flip that - and as it has scaled, the vision outgrew the platform alone and became SHIFT. SHIFT was built to transform how the creator economy earns. At its centre is Fanvue, the AI-first platform where creators run their businesses; around it, SHIFT is building a growing ecosystem of apps that expands what creators can sell, payment rails built for a new era of AI-driven & agentic commerce, and financial services designed to scale creator earnings. Creators using SHIFT's AI tools earn between three and six times more than those who don't. "AI is fundamentally changing how people make money online, and global talent like Iggy investing in SHIFT underlines the belief in our vision" said Joel Morris, Co-Founder and Co-CEO. "For twenty years creators could only really sell one thing, their audience's attention, and advertisers were the only buyer. AI removes that ceiling," said Will Monange, Co-Founder and Co-CEO. "Iggy shares the same vision as the SHIFT team - build the AI infrastructure that the whole creator economy will run on." said Harry Fitzgerald, Co-Founder & COO. About SHIFT: SHIFT is the AI infrastructure company for the creator economy, spanning the Fanvue platform, its AI engine, the first app store on any creator platform, and payment and financial rails. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in London. About Fanvue: Fanvue is the fastest-growing platform in the creator economy, with 17+ million monthly active users and over 325,000+ creators About Iggy Azalea: Four-time Grammy nominee, multi-platinum recording artist, and active entrepreneur and investor.

Salon de TIME will be fully open to the public throughout the event. The 45th HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and 14th Salon de TIME take place from 1 to 5 September at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Introducing fair highlights at a press conference are Smilely Lam, HKTDC Associate Executive Director (fifth from the left), SK Chong (fourth from the right) and Frankie Lam (fourth from the left), Co-Chairmen, HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair Organising Committee 2026, and celebrity Joey Thye (fifth from the right). Under the theme “Sparkling Moments Through Time”, the two fairs are expected to attract more than 630 exhibitors from 16 countries and regions, showcasing a wide range of watches, clocks and related products to meet evolving market trends and consumer demand. The Click2Match AI-powered business matching platform has been available since 25 August and will remain open until 12 September, enabling exhibitors and buyers from around the world to connect and conduct business discussions online during and beyond the physical fairs. Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair marks 45th Milestone HKTDC Associate Executive Director Smilely Lam said: “The Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and Salon de TIME together form the world's largest one-stop watch and clock marketplace. As the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair celebrates its 45th edition this year, the two fairs are continuing to grow in both international reach and diversity, leveraging Hong Kong’s strengths as an international trading hub and Asia’s premier sourcing centre for watches and clocks. This year’s fairs welcome, for the first time, a pavilion from Hengyang, Hunan Province, alongside group pavilions from France, Switzerland, Guangzhou and Taiwan. New exhibitors from Norway, Singapore and the US are joining this year's fair, further strengthening the international profile of the fairs. Salon de TIME is expected to feature more than 150 global brands, reaching a new post-pandemic high. Participation from Hong Kong brands and Guochao-inspired brands has increased by more than 20%, while more brands from Italy, the United Kingdom and the US are joining, alongside the debut of Singaporean brands. This fully demonstrates Hong Kong’s unique role as an important bridge connecting the Chinese Mainland with international markets, as well as the global watch industry’s confidence in the Hong Kong market.” According to the latest trade statistics, Hong Kong is the world’s largest importer and second largest exporter of wristwatches. In the first seven months of this year, the total export value of watches reached approximately HK$30.5 billion, representing a 7.8% year-on-year increase. Several other Hong Kong export markets recorded double-digit growth, including Germany (+21%), Switzerland (+25%) and the United Arab Emirates (+91%). In addition, the watch industry’s export confidence index rose from 50.4 to 51.9 in the second quarter, reflecting the industry’s cautiously optimistic outlook for exports. Microbrand participation doubles, bringing greater diversity to the fair Located in Hall 3FG, Salon de TIME features six themed zones: World Brand Piazza, Chic & Trendy, Craft Treasure, Renaissance Moment, Wearable Tech, and Microbrands. The Microbrands zone has attracted 29 brands from eight countries and regions, with both the number of participating brands and the number of represented countries and regions doubling compared with last year. World Brand Piazza showcases prestigious international watch brands For the 16th consecutive year, the World Brand Piazza zone is organised in partnership with Prince Jewellery & Watch, featuring limited-edition and rare timepieces from some of the world’s most prestigious watch brands. This year, Prince Jewellery & Watch will showcase exceptional creations from six internationally renowned brands: Baume & Mercier, Corum, DeWitt, Franck Muller, Montblanc and Sarcar. World Brand Piazza will feature a selection of limited-edition and highly collectible timepieces. Among the highlights, Franck Muller will present a ladies’ watch created in collaboration with French street artist Jisbar, marking the second partnership between the two parties. The brand will also host a product introduction seminar on 2 September titled “Franck Muller 2026 WPHH Novelties ‘Vanguard Lady Crazy Hours Jisbar’”. Meanwhile, Sarcar has specially created a unique platinum version of its Medusa timepiece exclusively for the World Brand Piazza. The one-of-a-kind watch is set with 228 diamonds, complemented by red garnets and green agates, showcasing exceptional high jewellery craftsmanship. Two marquise-cut diamonds are used to represent Medusa’s eyes. At the same time, the signature snake-hair motif extends seamlessly from the dial to the case and lugs, all meticulously sculpted from solid gold, offering the charm of ancient Roman stone sculptures of beautiful women. The Renaissance Moment zone will also welcome the debut appearance of WOLF, the luxury watch storage box and winder brand from the United Kingdom. Built around the concept of preserving heritage, WOLF provides professional care solutions for high-end mechanical timepieces. On the opening day of the fair (1 September), the brand will unveil its latest innovation, The Rocket, the world's most compact travel watch winder, highlighting WOLF's commitment to innovative design and exceptional craftsmanship. Guochao timepieces showcase the strength of Chinese watchmaking Designs incorporating traditional Chinese cultural elements have gained strong market appeal in recent years. This year, Salon de TIME will bring together five leading independent watchmakers from the Chinese Mainland, all of whom will attend the fair in person. The Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI) which is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious independent watchmaking institutions, maintains exceptionally stringent membership requirements. Currently, only four AHCI members are from the Chinese Mainland, and this year's exhibition will feature three of them including Xushu Ma, who was the first watchmaker from the Chinese Mainland admitted to the association, as well as Zehua Tan and Lin Yong Hua. The opportunity to see such a distinguished line-up in one place is particularly rare. In addition, several Guochao-inspired brands and Chinese watchmakers will showcase their outstanding creations. Highlights include: Chinese watchmaker Qian Guobiao will present the limited-edition AB-05S “Skylight Sun”, restricted to just 18 pieces worldwide. The self-developed AB-05 manual-winding movement powers the timepiece. At the same time, its semi-skeletonized dial reveals the balance wheel and gear train, highlighting the watch's intricate mechanics and technical expertise. Shanghai Watch will present the ORIGINATE Collection A623 Revival Watch, a modern recreation of China’s first calendar watch, modelling after the original A623 timepiece worn for many years by Zhou Enlai, the first Premier of the People’s Republic of China. The brand will also unveil the Hong Kong Exclusive Edition featuring two interchangeable straps in grey and green, with colours inspired by the Zhongshan suits frequently worn by Premier Zhou, evoking a spirit and memory that transcend generations. Award-winning timepieces showcase innovation and craftsmanship This year’s fair brings together award-winning timepieces, highlighting the watch industry’s pursuit of technical excellence and design innovation. Highlights include: AGELOCER’s 29.51-Day MoonPhase Original Astronomer reimagines the traditional moon phase display by featuring an industry-first 28.5mm oversized moon phase aperture. Blending astronomical imagery with mechanical aesthetics, the timepiece has earned nine international design awards, including the German Design Award 2022, MUSE Design Awards Gold 2023, and European Design Award 2023. Making its debut at the exhibition, Singaporean brand Vario will present the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time Watch. With an innovative reversible case design, the watch features two independent dials, each showing a different time zone. Users can easily switch between the two displays, making it a practical companion for international travellers. The unique design earned the watch the 2025 iF Design Award. Collaborations, innovation and limited-edition collectibles cater to diverse market tastes The fairs will also feature collaborative, limited-edition, and debut timepieces, showcasing different styles and innovations to meet evolving consumer preferences, including: LINK2CARE has partnered with Swiss watch brand MARVIN to launch a luxury smartwatch that integrates LINK2CARE’s patented leather strap with concealed medical-grade vital sensor. The watch provides comprehensive health monitoring capabilities, including real-time tracking of mental resilience and stress levels, with data displayed directly on the watch dial. This year’s two major overseas pavilions, the Swiss Independent Watchmakers Pavilion (SIWP) and France’s Francéclat, together with other European exhibitors, will bring together around 80 brands from across Europe. Among the highlights, Swiss watchmaker Pilo & Co Genève will showcase the Corleone Mini Collection, created to celebrate the brand’s 25th anniversary. Reimagining the iconic Corleone design as a refined ladies’ timepiece, the collection blends elegance with contemporary sophistication, with each colour variant limited to just 10 pieces worldwide. Several product zones showcase industry strength; Time Tunnel celebrates 45th edition The Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair, to be held in Hall 1, features seven dedicated product zones. Among them, Pageant of Eternity will showcase premium finished watches from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Original Design Manufacturers (ODM). One example is Hong Kong exhibitor Time Grand Ltd, which has more than 20 years of experience in product development, engineering design, and manufacturing services for global watch brands. Through its network of partnerships with Swiss watchmaking companies, the firm offers one-stop watchmaking solutions, demonstrating the strength of Hong Kong’s watch industry in connecting international watchmaking markets. Other zones include Complete Watches, Clocks, Machinery & Equipment, Packaging & Display, Parts, Components & Accessories. To celebrate the 45th edition of the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair, organisers will present a special “Time Tunnel” exhibition, taking visitors on a journey through three key stages in the fair’s evolution since its debut in 1982. The exhibition will revisit the period from the 1980s to the 1990s, when the fair established itself as a major global sourcing platform for the watch and clock industry. It then traces the transformation of Hong Kong’s watch industry between 2000 and 2020, as the sector evolved from OEM manufacturing toward brand development, with the fair becoming an important platform for industry promotion, networking, and exchange. The final section covers the period from 2020 to the present, when the fair expanded beyond manufacturing, sourcing, and brand promotion. Through cross-sector collaboration and the integration of resources from different industries, it has evolved into a multifaceted platform that brings together craftsmanship, design, technology, lifestyle, culture and consumer engagement, reflecting the continuous transformation of both the watch industry and the fair itself. Experts to share insights on emerging global watch industry trends More than 40 events will take place throughout the fair, including forums, seminars, watch parades, and networking activities, giving industry professionals valuable insights into the latest market developments and business opportunities. On the opening day (1 September), the Hong Kong International Watch Forum will bring together leaders of watch industry associations from Chinese Mainland, Germany, France, Switzerland, Japan and Korea to share the latest trade statistics and industry trends in their respective markets. Speakers will also explore new opportunities arising from the convergence of traditional watchmaking craftsmanship and technological innovation. On the second day (2 September), the Asian Watch Conference will be held under the theme “Hong Kong as the hub of International Watch Trades”. Senior analysts from international research firm Euromonitor International (Hong Kong) will present the latest developments in the global watch market. Representatives from online watch resale platform Chrono24 will discuss how businesses can connect with global demand through digital channels. At the same time, speakers from Lazada HK will share insights on how to leverage e-commerce platforms to accelerate market expansion and reach new customer segments. The 43rd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design Competition, jointly organised by the HKTDC, the Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association Limited, and the Federation of Hong Kong Watch Trades & Industries Limited, aims to promote watch design exchanges and nurture local talent.

Through CENTRESTAGE, Hong Kong fashion and design can go further and shine brightly on the world stage.” Inaugural Hype² pavilion harnesses star power and KOL influence With the continuous growth of the global streetwear market and Generation Z consumers increasingly seeking "self-expression" and "emotional value", CENTRESTAGE introduces the Hype² pavilion for the first time this year. This pavilion spotlights fashion labels spearheaded by local celebrities and KOLs, promoting cross-sector collaborations across the fashion & lifestyle, show & entertainment, culture & creative industries.

The artist’s overseas collaborations also span multiple top-tier events, including designing ‘stage armour’ for artists in Los Angeles at the Grammy Awards and Eurovision in the United Kingdom. Marking his solo fashion show in Hong Kong, the presentation is themed "MUTANT // MYTHOLOGY", connecting the two seemingly unrelated concepts of "mutation" and "mythology". Through three narrative chapters, it presents a cinematic fashion journey, striking a balance between the studio's signature performative showpieces and more-wearable fashion silhouettes. The HKTDC has specially arranged to livestream this grand fashion occasion on the CENTRESTAGE website and Instagram account, the HKTDC’s YouTube channel, Facebook and other official pages, as well as various lifestyle online platforms. During the fair, a dedicated exhibition area will also be set up at the venue to display selected works from CENTRESTAGE ELITES.

The company has principal operations in New Zealand and the United States and is incorporated in the Cayman Islands. SunScout commenced concurrent trading on NYSE American and NYSE Texas on August 12, 2026, becoming the first issuer with this combination of domicile and operational footprint to list on both exchanges. The offering was priced at $5.00 per Class A ordinary share, yielding gross proceeds of approximately $15.5 million. Upon closing, the company will have approximately 23.1 million Class A ordinary shares outstanding, implying a market capitalization of roughly $115.5 million based on the offer price. NYSE Texas, launched by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in March 2025 and headquartered in Dallas, currently hosts listed companies with an aggregate market capitalization exceeding $3.9 trillion, positioning it as a significant U.S. capital‑markets hub. The dual listing is expected to enhance SunScout’s brand visibility across the United States, particularly in Texas, where the company is pursuing strategic expansion, while also broadening its investor base. Three‑Pronged Clean‑Tech Portfolio; SunScout Products Emerges as Key Growth Driver As detailed in its prospectus, SunScout designs, develops, manufactures, and commercializes autonomous solar‑powered robotic mowers alongside complementary solar‑energy solutions. Its operations are organized into three segments: SunScout Products (autonomous solar-powered robotic mowers and complementary products), solar power development solutions, and engineering products and services under the Brunton Engineering brand, which encompasses clean‑energy hardware and high‑precision manufacturing. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the company reported total revenue of approximately $4.8 million, representing year‑over‑year growth of 93.6%. Solar power development solutions contributed approximately 40.9% of total revenue, while engineering products and services accounted for approximately 31.1%. Revenue from SunScout Products rose to approximately 28.0% of total revenue, up from approximately 18.5% in FY2024, demonstrating strong growth momentum. The prospectus explicitly notes that while solar power development and engineering services currently generate the majority of top‑line revenue, the SunScout Products segment captures long‑term growth opportunities aligned with global market expansion and is positioned as a core growth engine, accelerating the company’s transition toward a higher‑value, product‑driven business model. According to Mordor Intelligence, the global robotic lawn mower market is on a robust growth trajectory, valued at roughly $2.4 billion in 2025 and projected to reach $4.7 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4%. Robotic mowers still represent a small fraction of the broader lawn‑equipment market, leaving significant room for penetration. Rising labor shortages and escalating lawn‑maintenance costs are fueling demand for automation. Concurrently, regulatory initiatives worldwide to phase out gasoline‑powered outdoor equipment are gaining momentum, accelerating industry electrification. Shifting consumer preferences toward intelligent, convenient solutions are fostering deeper integration of robotic mowers with smart‑home ecosystems and the Internet of Things (IoT), creating substantial headroom for automated electric mowing solutions. Proprietary DSA Technology Enables True Off‑Grid Operation SunScout’s core competitive advantage lies in its proprietary Deployable Solar Array (DSA) technology, which allows its robotic mowers to operate entirely on solar power, achieving genuine off‑grid performance without reliance on electrical outlets. Conventional gasoline‑powered mowers emit carbon emissions, and while existing electric mowers eliminate direct emissions, they remain dependent on fixed charging infrastructure, constraining operational range and flexibility. The DSA mechanism enables solar panels to automatically deploy when stationary, tripling the surface area to maximize solar‑energy capture for onboard battery charging; panels retract during movement to preserve maneuverability. This design supports fully solar‑dependent, zero‑emission autonomous mowing, augmented by autonomous navigation and AI‑powered obstacle avoidance capabilities. According to the company, few competing products can function completely independent of external power sources. This capability unlocks deployments at sites without power outlets or charging facilities—such as golf courses, public parks, and large‑scale green spaces—delivering meaningful advantages for continuous autonomous field operations. Over the longer term, DSA‑based hardware insulates operating costs from electricity‑price inflation and enables rollouts in regions with limited or unreliable grid infrastructure. SunScout also emphasizes that its technology platform is highly adaptable and platform‑agnostic, opening potential applications beyond lawn mowing, including agricultural robotics, onboard solar‑charging systems for electric vehicles, autonomous patrol robots, and other mobile machinery. Three‑Tier Product Lineup and Rapidly Expanding Global Distribution SunScout’s autonomous solar‑powered robotic mower portfolio comprises three modular models: the residential‑grade SunScout Eco, light‑commercial SunScout Pro, and large‑institutional‑focused SunScout ProMax. The modular architecture supports incremental upgrades without extensive redesign, facilitating efficient global deployment across diverse terrain and climate conditions. For example, the entry‑level SunScout Eco integrates high‑efficiency photovoltaic panels into the top housing, converting sunlight to supply all energy required for propulsion, cutting assemblies, and onboard electronics. The unit employs a multi‑sensor suite and AI‑enhanced dual‑camera visual navigation to map work zones, identify lawn boundaries and obstacles, and optimize mowing routes. For larger and more complex sites, RTK satellite navigation is available to deliver centimeter‑level positioning accuracy. On commercial‑channel development, SunScout has established distribution partnerships with Wrissmer Werkstattsysteme GmbH (WWS) in Europe and MowBot Limited in Australia and New Zealand, and is in active discussions regarding potential distribution cooperation with major retailers, including Walmart. Beyond robotic hardware, the company provides end‑to‑end solar power development solutions, including system design, installation, and full engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for commercial, industrial, and institutional clients. Through its Brunton Engineering brand, it also offers engineering products and services leveraging nearly 30 years of precision‑fabrication and mechanical‑engineering expertise, and is an accredited supplier to the New Zealand Defence Force. On the manufacturing front, assembly is currently conducted via SunScout Asia in Thailand. The company is advancing the establishment of an assembly and distribution center in Austin, Texas, through its U.S. subsidiary, which will build domestic production capacity and support long‑term North American expansion, aligning with U.S. policy emphasis on domestic robotics and technology supply chains. Recent actions by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) restricting authorizations for certain foreign‑produced robotic products further underscore the growing importance of domestic manufacturing and supply‑chain resilience. Net proceeds from the offering are expected to be used primarily for: (i) construction of the Austin manufacturing facility; (ii) sales and marketing activities; (iii) product research and development; (iv) inventory procurement; (v) repayment of one loan; (vi) consideration for the acquisition of Brightway Energy LLC; and (vii) general working capital purposes. Against the backdrop of accelerating global clean‑energy transition and continued expansion of the robotic‑mower market, market participants will closely monitor whether SunScout can leverage its proprietary off‑grid solar‑robotics technology to differentiate itself amid intensifying industry competition. Note: This translation has been calibrated against the company’s registration statement on Form F‑1 (File No. 333‑295248), as declared effective by the SEC on August 11, 2026. All financial data, segment descriptions, and legal status reflect the prospectus disclosures. Certain distributor names and retail discussions are retained as stated in the prospectus; for definitive terms, please refer to the final prospectus.
