SINGAPORE, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Life in Singapore often brings unexpected costs that can sometimes deter even the best financial plans. While it is tempting to see a credit line as extra disposable income for non-essential lifestyle choices, the most responsible way to use standby cash is to create a safety net for unplanned costs.Having a credit facility ensures you can handle urgent needs without disturbing your long-term savings or selling your investments at a loss, if you use it prudently and be mindful of the applicable interest, fees and repayment obligations. Here are five smart ways to use your standby funds for emergencies.Urgent home repairsA home is often your largest asset, but it requires constant upkeep. A sudden burst pipe, a leaking ceiling, or a faulty electrical circuit is more than just an everyday inconvenience; it is a threat to your property's value. If you do not fix these issues immediately, they can lead to mould, water damage, or even fire hazards.Most contractors in Singapore require an upfront deposit or immediate payment upon completion. These costs often fall outside your regular monthly budget. In such cases, using your standby cash allows you to hire a professional right away. This prevents a small, manageable repair from turning into a massive renovation bill that could otherwise cause you a significant financial loss in the future.Managing non-insured healthcare costsResidents of Singapore generally have good insurance coverage through MediShield Life (a lifelong national health insurance scheme in Singapore) or other private plans. However, insurance may not always cover all medical circumstances. For example, a sudden dental emergency like a fractured tooth or a painful abscess requires immediate treatment. Outpatient specialist visits or specific diagnostic tests may also require you to pay in cash first before you can claim them back.In a medical crisis, time is of the essence. One should not have to wait until the next payday to seek relief from pain or to get a necessary scan. Having standby cash ready means you can walk into a clinic or hospital, thus ensuring you receive the care you need without the added stress of checking your bank balance during a health scare.Bridging income gaps during retrenchmentRetrenchment is a sudden loss of income that can take place regardless of your industry or experience level. In a competitive job market, it can typically take between three to six months to secure a new role that matches your previous salary.While a dedicated emergency fund is ideal, it may not always cover the full duration of your unemployment. In such cases, standby cash acts as a vital secondary buffer. It helps you cover essential monthly commitments temporarily, such as utility bills, and insurance premiums, thus allowing you to focus on your job search. This prevents you from falling behind on payments, which could otherwise damage your credit score.Critical family emergenciesFamily needs often arise without warning. A parent might face sudden hospitalisation, or a relative might need urgent financial help due to an unexpected crisis. These situations are emotionally draining and may often require immediate access to cash.If your wealth is tied up in stocks, bonds, or unit trusts, you might be forced to sell them during a market downturn to get the cash you need. This locks in your losses and hurts your long-term retirement goals. Therefore, using standby cash provides the liquid funds needed in such emergencies. This allows your investments time to recover and continue growing, protecting your future wealth while you handle the present crisis.Replacement of essential appliancesHome appliances often go unnoticed until they stop working. If your refrigerator dies in the middle of a humid Singaporean week, your food can spoil within hours. Similarly, a broken washing machine can quickly disrupt a busy household's routine.Replacing these essential items can sometimes cost a significant amount of money. While it might be momentarily feasible to buy the cheapest model available to save money, it is often smarter to use standby cash to buy a high-quality, energy-efficient replacement. Quality appliances last longer and save you money on electricity bills, making them a better financial choice in the long run.How to restore your safety netUsing standby cash responsibly means having a clear plan to pay it back. When you repay the amount you borrowed, that credit limit becomes available for you to use again for the next potential emergency.Create a repayment schedule: As soon as the emergency is over, look at your monthly budget. Determine how much you can repay each month to clear the balance quickly.Prioritise high-interest debt: If you have multiple debts, focus on paying off the used standby cash to minimise interest costs.Use bonuses or windfalls: If you receive a work bonus or a tax refund, use a portion of it to renew your credit line.Final thoughtsThe value of standby cash lies in its role as a short-term financial buffer when used responsibly. It is not designed for lifestyle upgrades or impulsive shopping. Instead, it is there to give you peace of mind and protection. By reserving these funds for unplanned essential needs, you can protect your savings and ensure that a temporary crisis does not become a permanent financial setback.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte Ltd, an external marketer engaged and compensated by UOB Ltd.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Modern Dental Group Limited ("Modern Dental" or "the Group", stock code: 03600.HK), a leading global dental prosthetic devices provider, announced its operational data for the three months ended 31 March 2026.During the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group’s multi-dimensional strategies as supported by the ongoing trend of digitalization in the dental industry have resulted in the Group reporting record revenue during this period. This occurred in a period of challenging macro-economic environment with general softness in demand for dental procedures, trade war and geopolitical uncertainties. The Group has been proactive in its approach to deal with the unprecedented international trade environment leveraging its international production facilities located in Thailand, Vietnam and Mainland China.Global RevenueFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the total revenue of the Group increased by approximately 12.1% (approx. HK$987.5 million) compared with the three months ended 31 March 2025.^ The decrease in revenue in original currency of the North America market (ex-MicroDental) was approximately 2.3% and the decrease in revenue in original currency of MicroDental was approximately 14.6%.# The increase in revenue in original currency of the Mainland China market was approximately 1.5% and the decrease in revenue in original currency of Hong Kong market was approximately 3.7%.++ The percentage change in Others represented changes in value of Hong Kong Dollars as Others included revenue dominated in different currencies.* The revenue information above is based on the locations of the customers.** The conversion rate shall not be taken as a representation that respective original currency could actually be converted into HK$ at that rate, or at all.The increase in revenue in Europe was primarily driven by higher sales order volumes, supported by the successful launch of new products such as digital dentures and the rollout of our state-of-the-art digital workflows. As a frontrunner in providing comprehensive digital solutions — ranging from minimally invasive and aesthetic prosthetic solutions to intra-oral scanners and clear aligners — the Group is well positioned to capitalize on the accelerated digitalization trend within the dental industry.Revenue from MicroDental, our North American domestic dental laboratory business, declined due to the softer US economy, which led to reduced patient demand for high-value discretionary dental treatments, particularly implants. The Group’s revenue in the Mainland China market recorded 1.5% increase in original currency terms during the first quarter of 2026, representing a turnaround from the decline of 4.2% in 2025. The decrease in revenue in the Hong Kong market also narrowed to 3.7%, as compared to the decline of 11.5% in 2025.The Mainland China market appears to have reached the bottom of the impact from the volume-based procurement policies and a prolonged period of intense price competition. This has also led to aggressive promotions for dental implant treatments by Mainland China dental clinics in Hong Kong, which experienced a notable decrease in patient visits. The Hong Kong market is gradually moving towards stabilization in line with this trend. The Group has deliberately pivoted away from low-margin segments and remains focused on serving mid- and high-value customers, thereby ensuring the long-term sustainable profitability of the Group’s business.The increase in revenue from Australia reflected a strong uptake of digital products driven by the digitalization trend in dental industry and anti-snoring products.The increase in revenue in Others mainly represented the increase in revenue in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.Notably, positive revenue growths were achieved in higher-margin regions such as Europe and Australia, whereas revenue declined in the relatively lower-margin business of MicroDental. This favorable geographical mix shift and the appreciation of foreign currencies against Hong Kong Dollars are expected to improve the Group’s overall margin percentage.Sales Volumes (Number of Cases)For the three months ended 31 March 2026, the total sales volumes of the Group increased by approximately 4.0% to approximately 720,000 cases (three months ended 31 March 2025: approximately 692,000 cases).Digital Solution CasesFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group’s digital solution cases (overseas and domestic) that are produced from its Mainland China, Thailand and Vietnam production facilities (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include digital solution cases produced in the Group’s non-Mainland China, non-Thailand and non-Vietnam production facilities or overseas/satellite dental laboratories) increased to approximately 294,712 cases reflecting an increase of 24.6% for the same period in 2025 (approximately 236,488 cases) as a result of our clients’ increased adoption of intra-oral scanners.Average Selling PriceFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the average selling price of the Group’s dental prosthetic products across its markets was HK$1,273 per case (three months ended 31 March 2025: HK$1,188), representing an increase of approximately 7.2% mainly due to the appreciation of foreign currencies against Hong Kong Dollars.Looking forward, the global digitalization trend continues to drive consolidation within the dental prosthetics industry, enabling the Group to further expand its market share. Our ongoing digital transformation initiatives are enhancing both customer and patientexperiences while improving operational efficiency, further differentiating the Group from competitors and positioning us to outperform industry peers. The Group’s underlying fundamentals remain solid, and we are well positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities going forward.About Modern Dental GroupModern Dental Group Limited (Stock code: 03600.HK) is a leading global dental prosthetics provider, distributor and consultant with a focus on providing custom-made prostheses to customers in the growing prosthetics industry. Our product portfolio is broadly categorized into three product lines: fixed prosthetic devices, such as crowns and bridges; removable prosthetic devices, such as removable dentures; and other devices, such as orthodontic devices, sports guards, clear aligners and anti-snoring devices.Modern Dental Group has a global portfolio of respected brands, including Labocast, Permadental and Elysee Dental in Western Europe, YZJ Dental in China, Modern Dental Lab in Hong Kong, Modern Dental USA and MicroDental in the United States, Modern Dental Pacific in Australia and New Zealand, Modern Dental SG in Singapore, Modern Dental TW in Taiwan, Apex Digital Dental in Malaysia and Hexa Ceram in Thailand.

NEW YORK, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Confimarket, backed and incubated by WebWise Capital, is pioneering confidential consensus discovery and information-aggregation infrastructure for institutional participants requiring strict privacy, robust market structures, and advanced financial workflows. Built on the Canton Network, the privacy-preserving market intelligence platform secured first place at the inaugural HackCanton Season 1 grand final, emerging victorious from a competitive global pool of more than 300 development teams across 15 countries.Confimarket, a privacy-preserving prediction market built on Canton Network, has won first place at HackCanton Season 1 after advancing through a competitive field of more than 300 builders from over 15 countries.The project was selected as the first-place winner following the grand final of HackCanton Season 1, an ecosystem hackathon organized by AppsFactory and focused on DeFi, RWA, DAO & Governance, and AI applications for Canton Network.Confimarket is being developed as a prediction market for serious capital and demanding participants. Its core thesis is that prediction markets become materially more valuable when users can participate without exposing sensitive strategy, intent, or positioning to the broader market.Prediction markets have already shown their ability to aggregate information at scale. However, many high-value participants — including professional traders, institutions, analysts, and organizations with sensitive views — may be reluctant to participate in fully transparent public markets. Confimarket is designed around that gap: market-based information discovery with privacy-preserving participation, credible settlement, and infrastructure suitable for more advanced financial workflows."Prediction markets are one of the most important categories in crypto because they turn information, belief, and probability into tradable markets. But the next stage of the category requires better infrastructure for participants who cannot expose their strategies or positions publicly," said Alexander I, General Partner at WebWise Capital. "That is the opportunity we see with Confimarket: confidential prediction markets built for more serious capital, stronger market structure, and institutional-grade use cases."Canton Network is a natural environment for this model because it combines privacy, interoperability, and an architecture designed for synchronized financial markets. Canton describes itself as the first privacy-enabled open blockchain network, built to preserve privacy while allowing participants to exchange data and value across connected applications.Canton Network has also been attracting prominent financial institutions and ecosystem participants. Official Canton materials list organizations such as J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BNY, BNP Paribas, Bank of America, and others in the broader ecosystem. For Confimarket, this makes Canton a strategically relevant foundation: the network is designed around privacy-preserving financial infrastructure rather than general-purpose public-chain transparency.During HackCanton Season 1, Confimarket refined its product thesis, shipped core functionality, gathered user feedback, and strengthened the architecture behind the platform. The team used the hackathon as an early proving ground for confidential prediction market workflows on Canton Network, with a focus on market creation, trading logic, settlement flows, and the user experience required to make prediction markets accessible to higher-value participants.The hackathon win represents an early ecosystem validation signal for Confimarket as the project moves from prototype development toward product readiness. The grand final and judging process provided feedback from Canton ecosystem leaders, venture investors, infrastructure companies, and industry participants.Projects at HackCanton Season 1 were evaluated by representatives from the Canton Foundation as well as venture and industry participants including DWF Ventures, LongHash, Scytale Digital, Jsquare VC, Quantstamp, and Chainlink Labs.Following the hackathon, Confimarket is focused on completing its trading engine, improving the user interface and onboarding flow, preparing private beta access, and working toward liquidity and ecosystem partnerships. The team's next phase is centered on turning the hackathon-winning prototype into a product that can support real prediction market activity, privacy-preserving participation, and institutional-grade use cases.Confimarket is also continuing to position itself within the Canton ecosystem as a prediction market layer for use cases where privacy, credible execution, and market-based forecasting are essential.Follow Confimarket on X for product updates, ecosystem announcements, and launch news, or explore the live app at confimarket.io.About ConfimarketConfimarket is a privacy-preserving prediction market built on Canton Network.

Toronto, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - May 28, 2026) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced "bought deal" private placement pursuant to which the Company issued a total of 18,115,797 Class A common shares of the Company that each qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) as part of a charity arrangement (the "FT Shares"), at a price of $1.38 per FT Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $24,999,800 (the "Offering"). The 18,115,797 FT Shares issued under the Offering include 2,174,000 FT Shares issued and sold pursuant to the full exercise of the option granted by the Company to the Underwriters.Matt Manson, President and CEO: "We are very grateful for the strong support demonstrated for this financing from existing and new shareholders. In October 2025, we expanded our successful deep, step-out drill program at the O'Brien Gold Project to what will be an eventual 140,000 metres with up to eight drill rigs. The drill program is ongoing, and in March of this year we demonstrated its value with an interim, and meaningful, increase in the estimate of the Project's mineral resources. With this financing completed, we can now (i) plan the expansion and extension of our drilling through to the end of 2027, (ii) manage our capital resources more efficiently with our "flow-through" eligible exploration expenditures, and (iii) establish a strong treasury to support project development activities and project de-risking. In particular, our step-out drilling ambition is to go deeper. Until now, our exploration horizon has been to a floor of 2 kilometers depth. Results to date indicate extensive gold mineralization with good continuity beneath the former mine and the current mineral resources to at least 1.9 kilometers depth (see Radisson news release dated April 30, 2026). Given the character of neighboring gold deposits and the wealth of mining infrastructure within or close to the O'Brien Gold Project, we now intend to extend our exploration to a depth of 2.5 kilometers with new deep drilling and directional wedging. We believe that O'Brien gold mineralization has the potential to extend to at least these depths, that such mineralization offers the potential for significant new mineral resources in excess of our current exploration target, and that these mineral resources might be reasonably expected to be developed." The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares, pursuant to the provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (as both terms are defined in the Tax Act) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") in connection with the exploration of the O'Brien Gold Project, including deep drilling beyond the scope of the current program, on or before December 31, 2027. The Company will renounce all such Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares effective December 31, 2026. In the event the Company is unable to renounce Qualifying Expenditures effective on or prior to December 31, 2026 for each FT Share purchased in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares, the Company will indemnify each FT Share subscriber, as applicable, for the additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.The Offering was completed pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated May 28, 2026 between the Company and a syndicate of underwriters led by ATB Cormark Capital Markets (collectively, the "Underwriters"). In consideration for the services provided to the Company in connection with the Offering, the Underwriters received an aggregate cash commission equal to $1,316,792.99, representing (i) 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering with respect to the FT Shares sold to purchasers not on the President's List, and (ii) 3% of the gross proceeds of the Offering with respect to the FT Shares sold to purchasers on the President's List, provided that no commission was paid with respect to certain U.S. Purchasers under the President's List (the "Cash Commission"). The Cash Commission was paid by the Company with existing cash on hand.The Offering remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), the FT Shares have been offered for sale to purchasers resident in all provinces of Canada pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106, as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 - Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption"). The FT Shares issued under the Offering to purchasers resident in Canada under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption will not be subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.An amended offering document related to the Offering and the use by the Company of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption can be accessed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at www.radissonmining.com.This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful, including any of the securities in the United States.

HONG KONG, May 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong’s merchandise exports rose by 42.9% year-on-year to HK$620.9 billion in April 2026, according to data released today by the Census and Statistics Department. For the first four months of 2026, total exports of goods reached HK$2,166.4 billion, representing robust growth of 35% compared with the same period last year.Bruce Pang, Director of Research at the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) said: “The strong export performance, in line with HKTDC’s earlier assessment, underscores the resilience of external demand, despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties.”“The recent surge in Hong Kong’s exports has been driven primarily by the global AI-led application upcycle and strong demand for ICT (Information and Communications Technology) equipment, reinforced by supply chain reconfiguration in Asia and, to some extent, higher unit prices amid rising costs. Hong Kong’s export sales are therefore expected to remain solid in the near term, supported by sustained demand for technology-related products.”As a key re-export hub for electronic components and intermediate goods, Hong Kong is well positioned to benefit from this ongoing AI-driven technology upcycle. Robust demand for chips, AI-enabled products and ICT equipment across global major markets – including the Chinese Mainland, ASEAN production bases and mature markets, such as the US – continues to underpin regional trade flows, supporting Hong Kong’s external trade performance.[For further information about the export prospects of the electronics sector, please refer to: AI Surge Bolsters Electronics Industry from Geopolitical Headwinds | HKTDC Research]At the same time, elevated oil prices amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, together with rising semiconductor costs, have contributed to higher trade values of related products, thereby supporting export growth in value terms. While this largely reflects price effects rather than volume expansion, it is likely to continue underpinning headline trade figures in the near term.In addition, the improved trade environment following the China-US leaders’ meeting in May is expected to support business sentiment by reducing uncertainties. Against this backdrop, Hong Kong’s export performance is likely to maintain solid growth momentum for the rest of the year, underpinned by its role as a critical node in regional and global supply chains.Nonetheless, trade prospects remain subject to geopolitical developments, particularly in the Middle East, as well as the trajectory of energy prices, both of which could affect trade flows and end-market demand.HKTDC Media Room: https://mediaroom.hktdc.com/enMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communications & Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.

HONG KONG, May 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - ‘Investor Day 2026’, co-hosted by The Hong Kong Investor Relations Association (“HKIRA”) and The Chamber of Hong Kong Listed Companies (“CHKLC”), was successfully held yesterday at the HKEX Connect Hall in Central.  The event brought together over 120 investors and financial market professionals, as well as a group of quality Hong Kong listed companies with the objective of enhancing better communication, in turn generating investor interests and promoting market liquidity.Guest of Honor Dr. Kelvin Wong, SBS JP, Chairman of the Securities and Futures Commission said, “Hong Kong has never been short of high-quality enterprises, nor has it lacked capital. What requires further strengthening is the “bridge” between the two. This entails enhancing the efficiency of unlocking corporate values, establishing a more solid foundation of trust, and improving the quality of long-term capital allocation. Today’s Investor Day serves as a compelling illustration of this objective. Only when issuers and investors engage more closely can the market advance further and achieve sustainable growth.”Dr. Eva Chan, Founding Chairman of HKIRA, said, “Investor Day 2026 aims to strengthen connections between listed companies and investors by enhancing corporate communication and supporting more effective identification and evaluation of high-quality, potentially undervalued companies. We believe that greater transparency and stronger value recognition will lead to more efficient market functioning and improved capital allocation. The event will feature meaningful exchanges, and we encourage listed companies to maintain consistent, long-term engagement with investors, while investment institutions uphold professionalism and disciplined, research-driven decision-making. Ultimately, prioritising mutual understanding and trust is essential to achieving genuine value connection.”Professor KC Chan, GBS SBS JP, Chairman of CHKLC, also commented, “Through Investor Day 2026, we seek to establish a dedicated platform for high-quality small and mid-cap companies to clearly articulate their investment propositions to the investment community, enhance market visibility, and unlock shareholder value.

HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM, May 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TR Capital, a leading secondary private equity investor, today announced that its portfolio company, Pharmacity, is raising growth capital from LeapFrog Investments, a global private equity firm focused on healthcare and financial services in emerging markets.

HONG KONG, May 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As Unitree Robotics continues to advance its IPO process on the STAR Market, Shoucheng Holdings (00697.HK) has once again attracted market attention for its strategic positioning across the robotics industry chain. Unlike the equity revaluation effect generated by a single project, Unitree Robotics serves more as a benchmark case within Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics investment portfolio. The acceleration of its capitalization process is expected to prompt the market to reassess the breadth and depth of the company’s exposure to embodied intelligence, humanoid robots, and the upstream and downstream segments of the industry chain.Public information shows that Unitree Robotics’ IPO application has been accepted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange and will proceed into the listing review stage. A successful listing would provide a clearer public market benchmark for the equity value attributable to Shoucheng Holdings. Based on an estimated post-issuance valuation of approximately RMB 42.0 billion, the roughly 3.44% equity interest held by Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund would correspond to a value of about RMB 1.45 billion. From an asset revaluation perspective, Unitree Robotics’ capitalization process is expected to improve the visibility of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics investment assets and provide positive support for the company’s investment income, net asset revaluation, and earnings upside.From a portfolio perspective, Unitree Robotics is not an isolated case. Public information indicates that Shoucheng Holdings, through industrial funds under its management and consolidated funds, has invested more than RMB 2.0 billion in the broader robotics industry chain, covering more than 20 companies. These include Unitree Robotics, Songyan Power, Galaxea AI, Deep Robotics, Booster Robotics, and Xinghaitu, with deployment spanning robot bodies, embodied intelligence, aerial robots, key components, and application scenarios. This means the company is not merely riding a single flagship investment, but building systematic exposure across the broader robotics industry trend.More importantly, other robotics companies in which Shoucheng Holdings has invested are also accelerating their preparations for listing. On May 18, the Shanghai Stock Exchange showed that the STAR Market IPO application of Hangzhou Deep Robotics Technology Co., Ltd. had been accepted, with proposed fundraising of RMB 2.503 billion. Public reports indicate that Deep Robotics recorded revenue of RMB 337 million and net profit of RMB 28.684 million in 2025, achieving full-year profitability for the first time. At the same time, embodied-intelligence companies such as Xinghaitu have completed shareholding restructuring, which is generally regarded as an important preparatory step for subsequent capitalization. As Unitree Robotics, Deep Robotics, Xinghaitu, and other projects enter the capital-market spotlight one after another, the contours of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics investment portfolio value are coming into sharper relief.Against this backdrop, Shoucheng Holdings’ valuation logic is shifting from “single-project mapping” to “robotics portfolio revaluation.” As leading projects successively submit applications, obtain acceptance, or complete shareholding restructuring, their revenue scale, R&D investment, product structure, and commercialization capabilities will be disclosed more fully. The market will also find it easier to evaluate Shoucheng Holdings’ industrial investment value from a portfolio perspective. In the Hong Kong equity market, there are not many listed companies that combine robotics industry-chain investment, real-world deployment capabilities, and asset management expertise. This further underscores the rarity of Shoucheng Holdings as an investable platform.Analyst coverage and the company’s ongoing buyback program have further supported the case for valuation re-rating. China International Capital Corporation (CICC) previously maintained its “Outperform” rating on Shoucheng Holdings with a target price of HKD 2.70, indicating a positive institutional view on the company’s asset value and growth potential. The company has also continued to repurchase shares recently, buying back 1.90 million shares on May 22 and carrying out repurchases for several consecutive days. Since the start of the year, it has repurchased approximately 160 million shares in total, amounting to approximately HKD 292 million. Continued repurchases reflect management’s confidence in the company’s intrinsic value while also helping to improve per-share value and market expectations.Overall, Unitree Robotics’ IPO is an important validation point for Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics investment strategy, but its significance now extends beyond a single project. As the capitalization process of leading companies such as Unitree Robotics and Deep Robotics advances, and as projects such as Xinghaitu form a pipeline for subsequent opportunities, Shoucheng Holdings’ portfolio-based investment and industrial operating capabilities across the robotics industry chain are expected to become more visible to the market. The company is not making a one-off bet on the robotics theme; rather, it is building a sustained position within a major industry trend. The value embedded in its robotics portfolio is entering an inflection point of accelerated market recognition. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, May 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Driven by news of the accelerated IPO process of Unitree Robotics, the share price of Shoucheng Holdings (00697.HK) has been notably active recently. On the evening of May 25, the official website of the Shanghai Stock Exchange disclosed that Unitree Robotics' STAR Market IPO application will be reviewed by the listing committee on June 1, 2026. Following the news, Shoucheng Holdings rose by more than 5% intraday on the next trading day, reaching a high of HK$1.84, indicating that market attention toward the revaluation of the company's robotics investment value continues to rise.Unitree Robotics' STAR Market IPO had previously been accepted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange. According to its prospectus, the company plans to raise RMB4.202 billion. As a representative domestic enterprise in embodied intelligence and humanoid robotics, Unitree Robotics has entered a critical stage in its capitalization process. This is expected to further raise capital-market attention toward the robotics sector and provide a clearer public-market pricing reference for related industrial-chain assets.For Shoucheng Holdings, the significance of Unitree Robotics' IPO lies not only in the change in equity value of a single project, but also in the fact that the company's robotics investment layout is beginning to enter a stage of public-market validation. According to Unitree Robotics' prospectus, Shoucheng Holdings participated in the investment in Unitree Robotics through the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund. The fund held approximately 3.8262% of Unitree Robotics before the offering and approximately 3.44% after the offering. Based on this valuation, the corresponding value of this equity interest is estimated at around RMB1.446 billion. As Unitree Robotics' listing process continues to advance, the market visibility of Shoucheng Holdings' robotics investment assets is expected to increase accordingly.From a valuation perspective, Unitree Robotics' IPO is expected to become an important catalyst for the revaluation of Shoucheng Holdings' robotics assets. Compared with unlisted equity interests, which mainly rely on primary-market financing valuations, the market capitalization performance of listed companies is easier for the market to observe, compare and price. If Unitree Robotics successfully lists on the capital market, its public-market valuation will provide a reference for related assets such as embodied intelligence and humanoid robotics, and will also help the market reassess the value of robotics assets held by Shoucheng Holdings through its sector-focused investment funds.More importantly, Unitree Robotics is not the only case within Shoucheng Holdings' robotics investment portfolio. According to company disclosures, through the sector-focused investment funds it manages, Shoucheng Holdings has made cumulative investments of more than RMB2 billion across the broader robotics ecosystem, covering over 20 companies. These include Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, Galbot, Deep Robotics, Booster Robotics and Galaxea AI, among other projects. Its layout spans multiple segments, including robot bodies, embodied intelligence, aerial robotics, key components and application scenarios. As portfolio companies such as Unitree Robotics and Deep Robotics continue to advance their listing processes, Shoucheng Holdings’ earlier deployment across the robotics value chain is transitioning from the capital deployment phase to the value realization phase.From the perspective of the Hong Kong stock market, Shoucheng Holdings' scarcity value has therefore increased further. At present, there are not many Hong Kong-listed companies that can directly reflect the mainland humanoid robotics and embodied intelligence industrial chain. By participating in investments in leading companies such as Unitree Robotics through sector-focused investment funds, Shoucheng Holdings has developed a well-defined proxy exposure to the robotics sector. Against the backdrop of relatively scarce technology growth assets in the Hong Kong market and sustained enthusiasm for the robotics theme, the company's robotics industrial investment layout is expected to attract greater market attention.Overall, Unitree Robotics' IPO is an important validation milestone for Shoucheng Holdings' robotics investment strategy. As the listing process continues to advance, related public-market valuations are expected to provide a clearer pricing reference for Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics assets and further strengthen its proxy value within the Hong Kong robotics concept segment. For investors, the market’s understanding of Shoucheng Holdings’ value may also extend from traditional asset operations toward a comprehensive valuation framework of "infrastructure assets + sector-focused funds + robotics investments", while the revaluation theme for the company’s robotics assets is becoming increasingly clear.

SINGAPORE, May 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Navigating financial surprises in a fast-paced city like Singapore requires adaptability and access to the right tools. Whether you are dealing with an urgent medical bill, a sudden home repair that requires immediate funding, quick cash loans can provide the necessary liquidity.However, borrowing money should never be a hasty decision. Understanding both the benefits and the potential risks is essential for maintaining long-term financial stability. Below is a detailed breakdown of what you should consider before applying for a quick cash loan.Why choose quick cash loans?Curious about the benefits of cash loans? Explore the advantages below.Rapid access to fundsThe primary benefit of quick cash loans is speed. Traditional term loans can sometimes take days or even weeks to process. In contrast, many modern credit lines may offer faster approval and quicker fund transfers via digital banking platforms. This is crucial when you face an emergency, such as preventing late-payment penalties or urgent payment needs.Flexible borrowingUnlike fixed-term loans, where you receive a lump sum and pay interest on the whole amount, many quick cash loans operate as revolving credit lines. You only pay interest on the amount you actually withdraw. For example, if you have a credit limit of SGD 10,000 but only use SGD 2,000 to replace a broken refrigerator, you only get charged interest on that SGD 2,000 until it is paid off. This may offer flexibility in managing small, unpredictable gaps in your cash flow.Minimal documentationIn Singapore, the application process for quick cash loans has become more streamlined. Banks can now retrieve your income and employment data automatically, where available. This removes the need for physical paperwork and branch visits. For busy professionals, this convenience is a major advantage that saves time and reduces the stress of borrowing.Bridging short-term gapsQuick cash loans can be used for acquiring temporary funding. If you expect a work bonus or a tax refund next month and have considered your repayment obligations but require short-term cash, these loans may allow you to access funds more quickly without disrupting your savings plan. You can access the funds when needed and clear the balance once your expected income is received.Risks of quick cash loansTake a closer look at some of the risks associated with quick loans.Higher interest rates compared to long-term loansBecause quick cash loans offer speed and convenience without collateral, they often come with higher interest rates than secured loans like mortgages or car loans. If you do not have a clear repayment plan, interest can accumulate over time. It is important to compare the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) to understand the true cost of borrowing before you commit.Risk of overspendingThe ease of access has both risks and benefits. When funds are available instantly, it can be tempting to use them for non-essential lifestyle choices, such as luxury shopping or expensive holidays. This can lead to overspending, where you begin to rely on credit for routine costs rather than staying within your monthly salary.Impact on your credit scoreEvery time you apply for a loan or a credit line, a formal credit check is recorded with Credit Bureau Singapore (CBS). Multiple applications in a short window may negatively affect your credit assessment with lenders. Furthermore, if you fail to make even the minimum monthly payments on your quick cash loans, your credit score may drop. This could make it harder for you to get a home loan or other essential credit in the future.Potential hidden feesBeyond the interest rate, some facilities come with annual fees, processing fees, or late payment charges. Some lenders may charge a fee of SGD 100 or more just for missing a payment deadline by one day. You must read the fine print to ensure that the quick solution does not become a more expensive burden due to overlooked charges.How to use quick cash loans responsibly?To make the most of quick cash loans without falling into debt, follow these simple guidelines:Borrow only what you need: Just because your approved limit is high doesn't mean you should use all of it. Withdraw only the specific amount required for your emergency.Have a clear repayment strategy: Before you choose to withdraw, figure out your repayment options.Use for emergencies, not luxuries: Keep your credit line as an emergency backup for when you really need it. Avoid using it for lifestyle expenses.Monitor your balance: Regularly check your banking app to see how much you owe and when your next payment is due. Staying informed prevents late fees and high interest.Final thoughtsQuick cash loans can be a useful financial tool that provides flexibility, when used prudently. They allow you to handle life's surprises without the need to ask friends for help or sell your long-term investments. However, the responsibility lies with you to use this tool with discipline. By weighing the pros and cons carefully, you can ensure that your choice supports your financial goals rather than hindering them.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte Ltd, an external marketer engaged and compensated by UOB Ltd.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

SINGAPORE, May 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The European Union is strengthening its engagement with Singapore as a regional hub for advanced food manufacturing and nutrition innovation. This comes as demand for functional dairy ingredients accelerates across Southeast Asia. Led by Bord Bia – The Irish Food Board, the initiative is part of the “European Dairy: Ireland, Where Nature Meets Science” campaign, a €3.2 million investment co-funded by the European Union to strengthen Asia’s nutrition pipeline and foster long-term trade partnerships. The campaign showcases sustainable farming and scientific research behind European dairy production. Singapore is a Strategic Gateway for Functional Nutrition in AsiaSingapore is globally recognised as a hub for innovation, positioned at the heart of Southeast Asia’s food ecosystem, and has an important role in regional product development and distribution. Manufacturers across ASEAN are increasingly seeking high-quality science-backed ingredients, as demand for targeted life-stage nutrition, preventative health products and functional foods is increasing. This is largely driven by the fact that Southeast Asia’s population is growing and aging rapidly, particularly in Singapore, leading to increased demand for functional foods to support healthy aging and overall wellbeing. Given limited domestic dairy production in Singapore, F&B innovators and manufacturers are driven to rely on imports and seek trusted international partners.Ms. Lorna Allen, South East Market Manager of Bord Bia, mentioned, “Singapore is a key gateway for European dairy engagement in Southeast Asia, particularly as demand for functional and science-backed nutrition continues to grow. Ireland has exported €276 million value of dairy products to Southeast Asia in 2025, a y-o-y increase of 16.4%. Through the EU-funded campaign, Bord Bia is supporting closer collaboration between European dairy producers from Ireland and regional food and nutrition innovators.”Dr Kalpana Bhaskaran, Deputy Director, industry partnerships and Head, Glycemic Index Research Unit at Temasek Polytechnic, commented, “Dairy ingredients play a vital role across the life course. With protein‑fortified and functional dairy products gaining strong momentum, the opportunity to improve population health through evidence‑based dairy innovation has never been greater.”A Science-Led Advantage Supporting Industry Needs European dairy from Ireland combines a natural grass-fed, pasture-based system with the support of advanced scientific research. This combination of natural production methods and scientific validation allows European dairy to meet the performance and quality requirements of manufacturers across Asia.Dr. André Brodkorb, Senior Researcher, Teagasc Food Research Centre Moorepark, said, “Irish grass‑fed milk is scientifically proven to deliver superior nutritional benefits, with Teagasc research showing dairy cows who operate on an Irish grass-fed system, produced milk with higher percentages of omega-3 and conjugated linoleic (CLA) fatty acids compared to cows fed medium and low proportions of grass.”European Dairy Powders at FHA Singapore 2026Bord Bia brought leading European dairy suppliers from Ireland to Food & Hospitality Asia (FHA) in Singapore last April. Industry professionals attending FHA Singapore were invited to explore partnership opportunities and discover how European dairy from Ireland is supporting the next generation of nutrition solutions in Asia. Bord Bia focused on: Functional dairy ingredients designed for sports nutrition, healthy ageing, life-stage nutrition, and foodservice.Solutions that support product innovation for Asian consumers.Opportunities to connect directly with suppliers for sourcing and collaboration.Strengthening Collaboration Across the RegionAs part of the European Union’s engagement in Singapore, Bord Bia is also facilitating a closed-door industry session bringing together stakeholders from research, development, and manufacturing. This reflects ongoing collaboration between European dairy stakeholders and regional partners, including organisations such as Temasek and Teagasc, to support innovation and knowledge exchange in functional nutrition.

HONG KONG, May 26, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Institute of Directors (HKIoD) has officially announced that nominations are now open for the HKIoD Awards for Director Excellence 2026. This flagship award programme continues to serve as a cornerstone for promoting outstanding corporate governance and director professionalism across Hong Kong.This year's Awards theme, Navigating Through Disruptive Forces in Challenging Times, underscores the resilience required by modern boards to steer their organisations steadily through rapid digital transformations, macroeconomic shifts, and evolving stakeholder expectations.In its 26th edition, HKIoD will once again present its signature accolades across three critical governance pillars: the Directors of the Year Award, the Climate Governance Award, and the Social Impact Award. These honours go beyond simple recognition; they celebrate visionary leaders who deeply embed corporate governance, climate governance, and social sustainability in the core of their business frameworks.Mr Richard Tsang, Chairman of HKIoD, during his keynote address, stated: "As fellow directors, we serve as stewards of corporate governance, tasked with balancing the interests of all stakeholders. This year’s theme perfectly captures the prevailing uncertainties we face today—times are undeniably tough, yet we continue to forge ahead with resolve. Through this impactful initiative, we remain deeply committed to honouring role models, fostering peer learning, and raising the overall standard of corporate governance in Hong Kong."Mr Jonathan Shea, CEO of HKIoD, introduced the key highlights and arrangements for the 2026 project cycle and encouraged eligible candidates to submit their nominations well ahead of the deadline.Insights from Distinguished Past AwardeesThe briefing session featured an insightful panel discussion, titled "Distinguished Directors' Insights", moderated by Mr Vincent Chan (Council Member & Chairman of the Awards Organising Committee). Three distinguished past awardees shared their experiences on how rigorous board oversight translates into organisational resilience:- Mr Alvin Lee (Executive Director, FSE Lifestyle Services Limited) highlighted the critical need for forward-looking governance in the face of technological shifts. He noted that boards must proactively embrace technology rather than passively approve management decisions. For instance, establishing dedicated AI committees can help organisations seamlessly integrate digital tools into daily practices like cost analysis and ESG tracking.- Ms Helen Li (Group Chief Auditor, The Bank of East Asia Limited) discussed strengthening risk and audit frameworks under stringent regulatory landscapes. She emphasised that true board diversity—compassing expertise across such areas as financial oversight and cybersecurity—is essential for managing unpredictable "unknown unknowns" and allowing directors to constructively challenge executive management.- Ms Theresa Yeung (Managing Principal, East Asia, Arup) shared her extensive experience steering massive infrastructure and sustainability initiatives. She explained that when driving deep organisational change, boards must look beyond simple slogans and explicitly hardcode sustainable concepts into clear, actionable checklists and daily KPIs.The panel collectively reminded prospective applicants that the assessment process functions as a free corporate "health check". Nominees are strongly encouraged to prepare robust, quantitative data to back up their achievements for review by the independent judging panels.Nomination Details & CategoriesThe deadline for submitting all nominations for the 2026 Awards is 23 July 2026.

SINGAPORE, May 25, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sale seasons in Singapore, such as the Great Singapore Sale or the year-end 12.12 events, offer significant opportunities to save on high-ticket items. However, the pressure of flash deals and limited-time offers can easily lead to impulsive overspending. Managing these large purchases responsibly requires disciplined planning and using financial tools like quick loans to maintain your long-term stability.Selecting a flexible credit line or quick loans may provide access to funds that can be considered as part of managing expenses during sale periods. This approach may help you with short-term cash flow management while meeting daily expenses. The following strategies focus on how to navigate major sale events while keeping your financial health intact.Create a prioritised shopping listBefore the sales begin, you should identify what you truly need versus what you simply want. A common mistake is falling into the trap of discount illusion, where buying a discounted item you do not actually need is viewed as a saving when in reality, it is an unnecessary expense.List your intended large-scale purchases in a spreadsheet, noting their original prices and the stores that sell them. Prioritise these items based on their utility and longevity, such as essential home appliances or quality electronics. This preparation allows you to act decisively on genuine deals while ignoring filler items that only serve to drain your budget.Set a hard budget capThe excitement of a sale can often cloud your financial judgment, leading to multiple impulsive purchases, thus making you lose track of your total expenses. To avoid this, determine a realistic total amount you are willing to spend across the entire sale season.If your high-priority items exceed your current cash in hand, you might consider using quick loans to bridge the gap. A flexible credit line can offer immediate access to funds, but you must ensure the total loan amount fits within your calculated repayment capacity. Establishing this limit early may help you not to fall short of funds for the remainder of the month due to a single weekend of shopping.Use flexible financing to control cash flowLarge purchases often require significant upfront cash that can temporarily destabilise your monthly balance. In such cases, quick loans or a personal line of credit can serve as a valuable tool for managing short-term cash flow.Some credit lines may offer promotional interest rates of up to 0% interest for several months, subject to applicable terms and conditions. This flexibility allows you to secure the sale price of a large item immediately while spreading the cost over a few months. Repaying the balance quickly may help you benefit from the sale discount without losing those savings to interest charges.Think twice before you payFlash sales and discount banners are designed to trigger a fear of missing out, thus forcing you to act in haste. One of the effective ways to counteract this is the 24-hour rule: wait a full day before proceeding to purchase any non-essential large item.Giving yourself this time allows the initial emotional impulse to fade, helping you decide if the item truly adds value to your life. If the deal is still available and fits your budget the next day, you can proceed with confidence. This simple pause can save you a lot of funds and from buyer's remorse in the foreseeable future.Focus on quality and long-term valueA low price tag does not always equal a good deal if the product requires frequent repairs or expensive maintenance. When shopping for large items during a sale, prioritise quality over quantity by researching product reviews and warranties.Investing in a durable, high-quality appliance, even at a slightly higher sale price, often costs less in the long run than a cheaper, lower-quality alternative. Additionally, always check return policies before purchasing, as being stuck with a non-returnable faulty item can turn a temporary bargain into a long-term loss.Final thoughtsManaging large purchases during Singapore's sale seasons is about making informed decisions that align with your financial goals. By using a structured plan and leveraging tools like quick loans responsibly, you can enjoy the full benefits of a sale without lingering financial distress.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte Ltd, an external marketer engaged and compensated by UOB Ltd.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti  Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, May 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Patents are the key assets of technology enterprises, a solid moat for defending against market competition, and an important yardstick for measuring an enterprise's technical strength and seizing market dominance. At a time when the intelligent vehicle industry is accelerating iteration and intelligent cockpit interaction experience has become a core decision-making factor for users, HUD, as the core interactive terminal of intelligent cockpits, has become a key track for automakers' differentiated competition. The depth, breadth and accuracy of patent layout directly determine an enterprise's position and long-term development ceiling in the industry.As the first Hong Kong-listed stock in AR interaction, New Vision (02632.HK) has always adhered to the development strategy of "R&D-driven and innovation-led", continuously increased R&D investment, and built a comprehensive, in-depth and globally radiating patent system, laying a solid foundation for the Company to maintain technological leadership and lead industry development for a long time.Upgrading and Expanding Patent Layout, Core Technologies Leading the IndustryIn 2025, New Vision maintained strong innovation vitality, with 151 new patent applications filed throughout the year, achieving remarkable results in the commercialization of innovative achievements. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had obtained 228 valid patents in total. Its patents and pending applications cover key areas of the entire industrial chain such as HUD optical systems, mechanical structures, software interaction, electronic circuits, testing equipment and methods, forming an all-round, multi-level and comprehensive technical protection network and keeping core technologies firmly in its own hands.In terms of patent structure, the Company focuses on breakthroughs in high-end technologies, with a high proportion of invention patents in the industry. It has focused on laying out hardcore technical patents such as underlying optics, algorithms and core devices to build solid core technical barriers. Meanwhile, it has coordinated the layout of utility model and design patents, balancing product structure optimization, practical application and terminal visual experience, realizing the resonance between technological innovation and market demand.In terms of technical layout, the Company has deeply cultivated four core advantageous fields: optical imaging, AR algorithms, eye box adaptation and system reliability. It has targeted long-standing industry pain points such as blurred imaging, limited field of view, poor adaptability and insufficient stability in extreme environments, continuously strengthened differentiated technical barriers, and built an insurmountable innovative advantage for competitors.Meanwhile, New Vision is accelerating the internationalization of patents. Through the PCT international patent application channel, it has launched the construction of an intellectual property protection system, and gradually built a patent network covering major automotive markets such as Asia, Europe and North America. This global patent layout not only further consolidates the Company's international competitive barriers but also provides solid intellectual property protection for overseas market expansion, laying an important foundation for the Company's localized global operations.Precise Positioning of Core Patents, Tackling Frontier Technologies to Break Industry MonopolyDifferent from the general patent layout in the industry, New Vision focuses more on tackling high-value core patents and precisely positions core technologies and next-generation technology trends in the AR-HUD track.The Company's self-developed bifocal plane AR-HUD mass production technology, relying on its complete independent patent system, solves industry pain points of traditional single-focal-plane HUD such as short imaging distance, poor virtual-real integration and insufficient multi-scenario adaptation. It enables layered imaging of far and near scenes, improving the safety and intelligent experience of vehicle interaction. At present, this technology has been mass-produced on a large scale, becoming a benchmark product for domestic high-end AR-HUD.In the global patent layout, the Company has made advance arrangements for AR-HUD-related technologies, providing core technical patent endorsement for product overseas expansion and building core intellectual property barriers for its participation in competition in the global high-end vehicle interaction market.Empowering Development Through Patents, Industrialization Achievements Highlighting Core CompetitivenessThe strategic significance of patent layout has been fully reflected in the development of New Vision, becoming the core driving force for its high-quality development.First, breaking foreign monopoly and realizing independent control of HUD core technologies. In the past, the vehicle HUD market was long monopolized by Japanese and German enterprises, with prominent "bottleneck" problems in core technologies. Through continuous patent layout and technological innovation, New Vision has gradually got rid of its dependence on foreign capital technologies, provided domestic automakers with independently controllable high-end visual interaction products, and promoted the independent development of China's vehicle HUD industry.Second, building a solid technical moat and consolidating industry-leading position. Through an all-round and multi-level patent layout, New Vision can effectively prevent competitors from imitating technologies and continuously maintain industry-leading technological advantages. Relying on the dual advantages of patented technologies and mass production capacity, the Company has so far obtained 106 vehicle models, covering 23 leading mainstream OEMs. Its market share has steadily increased, making it a benchmark enterprise with excellent technology, scale and reputation in the domestic vehicle AR-HUD field.Third, supporting the implementation of global strategy and accelerating overseas market expansion. Based on PCT international patent layout, the Company has built a patent protection network covering major global markets, escorting product overseas expansion and overseas localized operation. It is reported that New Vision has set up subsidiaries in Germany, Hungary and Japan, initially realizing the transformation of localized global operations. It is continuously expanding its global market territory and enhancing the global influence of China's AR interaction technologies.Efficient Industrialization of Patents, Realizing Commercial Closed-Loop Through Technology Value TransformationDifferent from some pure technology enterprises and pure technology R&D enterprises that emphasize R&D but neglect application, New Vision's core competitiveness lies in the efficient transformation and industrialization of patented technologies. The Company has built a closed-loop transformation system of "patented technologies - mass-produced products - market application", realizing efficient linkage among intellectual property rights, core technologies and commercial value. It has rapidly applied core patented technologies to its two core product matrices, CyberLens and CyberVision. Core products such as bifocal plane AR-HUD and local dimming PGU have achieved large-scale mass production, demonstrating the commercial value of patented technologies.Meanwhile, the application of patented technologies has not only greatly improved core product performance and successfully solved industry pain points such as sunlight backflow, blurred imaging and extreme environment adaptation, but also achieved precise cost control through platform-based design and technical optimization, enhanced product cost performance, helped HUD products quickly penetrate from luxury models to the mass market, and unlocked incremental opportunities in the 100-billion-level vehicle interaction market.In addition, New Vision's core patents also have broad space for external licensing and technical cooperation. Through diversified cooperation modes such as patent licensing, joint technology development and joint R&D, the Company is expected to further explore the derivative value of intellectual property rights, open up new profit spaces, effectively hedge operational risks in a single product market, and further enhance the Company's risk resistance capacity and long-term profitability.From the perspective of industry development, as a leading enterprise in AR interaction, New Vision builds core competitiveness with patents and breaks the industry ceiling with technical reserves. Through precise, three-dimensional and global intellectual property layout, it continuously expands the technical boundary of vehicle AR interaction. The Company has not only broken foreign technological monopoly but also promoted China's AR interaction technology to gradually move onto the global stage.
