What I aspire to explore through design is the unique style and trends of the new generation of designers.”In his collection “Rager”, Tiger takes inspiration from Japanese anime series Dragon Ball and the character Son Goku, who transforms into a giant ape when angry, and the werewolf in Michael Jackson’s Thriller, who dances with zombies under a full moon. He also pays tribute to the rock singer Marilyn Manson’s style, mixing the structure of an evening dress with dungarees to combine the elegance of actress Marilyn Monroe with a darkerinspiration. Tailored to the violent nature of rage, Tiger’s four designs feature impact-resistant pads and abrasion-resistant materials for protection.Prizes: (1) A cash prize of HK$60,000; (2) An overseas study trip sponsored by Fang Brothers Knitting Ltd; (3) HK$5,000 CASETiFY e-Gift Card and capsule collection for sale online and at CASETiFY STUDiO Hong Kong storesExcellence AwardDesigner: K NgDesign: “Remnants of Light”The design: “The designs initially appear to be glittering and elegant, but underneath the glamour he seeks to represent the darker side of the human condition and the fragility of the human mind.”In his competing series “Remnants of Light,” K creates scenarios with details on fabric: the embroidery on the coat looks like fireworks, but actually symbolises the explosions of war. The piece is a luxurious floor-length coat, but as the wearer grips the straps and wraps themselves tightly underneath, they resemble a refugee. Prizes: (1) A cash prize of HK$40,000; (2) An overseas study trip sponsored by MINI HK; (3) HK$3,000 CASETiFY e-Gift Card and capsule collection for sale online and at CASETiFY STUDiO Hong Kong storesBest Art Direction Award and My Favourite Collection AwardDesigner: Yoyo ChanDesign: “Trouble X”The design: “At the age of two, we enter our first rebellious stage in life, and then are institutionalised. In a daze, we find ourselves marching to the beat of mainstream social expectations. Rebellion is always looming; once provoked, it erupts instantly.” Fashion designer Yoyo Chan is bored by the ordinary and wants to shatter expectations. Her “Trouble X” series breaks the stereotypical association of school uniforms by deconstructing the style, adding playful elements, and subverting expectations in the details. Highly saturated reds are interspersed with warm yellows, presenting a hot-blooded attitude and independent personality. As she frees the clothing from the rigidity of occasions, fashion design becomes an advocate for ageless rebellion.Prizes for the “Best Art Direction” Award: (1) A cash prize of HK$30,000 sponsored by Vogue Hong Kong; (2) HK$2,000 CASETiFY e-Gift Card and capsule collection for sale online and at CASETiFY STUDiO Hong Kong storesPrizes for the “My Favourite Collection” Award: (1) HK$20,000 Lee Gardens Area e-Gift Certificates sponsored by Hysan Development; (2) HK$2,000 CASETiFY e-Gift Card and capsule collection for sale online and at CASETiFY STUDiO Hong Kong stores Panther Chan(wearing Kinyan Lam; shoes by Pedro)Kaho Hung(wearing REDEMPTIVE; shoes by Pedro)Moon Tang(wearing röyksopp gakkai)from left to rightMoon Tang, Kaho Hung, Panther Chan(wearing röyksopp gakkai, REDEMPTIVE, Kinyan Lam)Dixon Wong(wearing MURFI LAU)Ah Gi(wearing FromClothingOf)Madboii(wearing WEAVIPEDIA)903DJ Leung Man Lai(wearing YAMA GUEST)from left to rightMadboii, Zelos, Ah Gi, Dixon(wearing MURFI LAU, MARCCH, FromClothingOf, WEAVIPEDIA)MINI x Johnson Chong/Kinyan Lam collaboration seriesFor the eighth consecutive year, MINI HK was the major sponsor of the YDC. This year, the brand collaborated with two YDC Alumni designers, Johnson Chong (YAMA GUEST) and Kinyan Lam (Kinyan Lam), to present a fashion collection inspired by its latest car models.MINI x Johnson Chong (YAMA GUEST)YAMA GUEST has collaborated with MINI Cooper, taking inspiration from its 2024 MINI Aceman model. The theme of the collaboration is “Urban Outdoor Traveler”, where a single garment can seamlessly transition between the city and nature, embodying MINI’s new design philosophy of “Simplicity, Purity”. The result is a collection that embodies urban fashion while meeting the demands of outdoor exploration and incorporating the design concepts of YAMA GUEST and the MINI Aceman. The apparel features wear-resistant, water-repellent and breathable materials, as well as adjustable details like the hood, front panel, and waistband for added functionality.MINI x Kinyan Lam (Kinyan Lam)For its collaboration with MINI Cooper, Kinyan Lam sought to capture the spirit of “Possibility”, “Adventurous”, and “Fashion” embodied by MINI drivers. To express their unique personalities, they want to customise their cars with different patterns. Lam took inspiration from a vintage MINI campaign featuring Mary Quant’s striped seat upholstery design, applying the iconic pattern, the classic stripe, as the central design motif for the collection. To achieve this design element, Lam incorporated his signature natural dyes with plants from India and indigo from Guizhou and employed a tie-dye technique to create the stripe patterns.FASHIONALLY COLLECTIONSFASHIONALLY.COM works to promote Hong Kong fashion and designers.

EASD 2024 | HighTide Therapeutics Presents Oral Reports of Phase 2 Studies

HONG KONG, Sept 11, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - HighTide Therapeutics, Inc. (2511.HK), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of multifunctional multi-targeted therapies for chronic liver and metabolic diseases, presents at the 60th European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting, taking place from September 10-13, 2024 in Madrid, Spain. The presentations include post-hoc analyses of two Phase 2 clinical studies of berberine ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801), a gut-liver anti-inflammatory metabolic modulator, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).“These data provide additional insight on the potential benefits of HTD1801, a novel, multifunctional therapy being developed for the treatment of patients with T2DM. The two ongoing Phase 3 studies (NCT06350890, NCT06415773), fully enrolled in 2Q 2024, evaluate the efficacy and safety of HTD1801 in T2DM patients (as monotherapy or in combination with metformin). We look forward to the results of these Phase 3 studies which we expect to announce in 2025,” said Dr. Leigh MacConell, Chief Development Officer of HighTide.“Efficacy of Berberine Ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801) in Chinese and Western Patients with T2DM”(Presentation 711, Oral Presentation, September 11, 12:45 PM CEST)About the Abstract: T2DM and MASH are highly interrelated, the presence of each increasing risk of outcomes. Patients with both T2DM and MASH are at higher risk of histologic progression in MASH, cardiovascular outcomes, hepatic outcomes, and all-cause mortality. The purpose of this analysis was to compare the effects of HTD1801 in Chinese and Western patients with T2DM with or without MASH. These data demonstrate that while the two populations are ethnically distinct with related but different diseases, treatment with HTD1801 was associated with improvements in key measures of glycemic, cardiometabolic, and hepatic benefit in both populations. HTD1801 offers holistic benefits that are observed in both Chinese and Western patients, irrespective of underlying disease, that address core aspects of both T2DM and MASH.“Berberine Ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801) Provides a Unique Therapeutic Approach for Patients with Metabolic Diseases and Severe Insulin Resistance”(Presentation 708, Oral Presentation, September 11, 12:45 PM CEST)About the Abstract: Insulin resistance is a significant risk factor for T2DM, obesity and MASH. HTD1801 enhances the utilization of glucose and fats through activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), thereby improving insulin sensitivity. As HTD1801 is under development as a treatment for patients with T2DM, as well as MASH, we analyzed the effects of HTD1801 response based on degree of insulin resistance. These data demonstrate that HTD1801 can alleviate the metabolic inhibitory effects caused by hyperinsulinemia, leading to even greater hepatic and metabolic benefits in patients with more severe insulin resistance, offering a unique therapeutic approach for individuals with T2DM and/or MASH.About HighTide TherapeuticsHighTide Therapeutics, Inc. (2511.HK) is a globally integrated biopharmaceutical company focusing on the discovery and development of first-in-class multifunctional multi-targeted therapies with chronic liver and metabolic diseases with significant unmet medical needs. The company is developing multiple clinical assets, including therapy for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), type 2 diabetes (T2DM), severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Berberine ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801), the company’s lead drug candidate, received Fast Track designation from the U.S. FDA for both NASH and PSC, as well as Orphan Drug designation for PSC. In China, HTD1801 has been included in the National Major New Drug Innovation Program under the 13th Five-Year Plan for Major Technology Project.For more information, please visit www.hightidetx.comContact: pr@hightidetx.com Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Fast Debt Recovery Specialist Among First Licensed Under Singapore’s New Debt Collection Rules ACN Newswire

Fast Debt Recovery Specialist Among First Licensed Under Singapore’s New Debt Collection Rules

SINGAPORE, Sept 11, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fast Debt Recovery Specialist, Singapore's premier debt collection agency, has achieved a significant milestone by becoming one of the first to receive the newly implemented debt collection licence by the Singapore government. This certification underscores the agency's unwavering commitment to lawful and effective debt collection practices. In line with their business philosophy, "No one deserves to be a victim of broken promises," this licence further solidifies their dedication to ethical and transparent operations.Founded in 2017, Fast Debt Recovery Specialist has rapidly grown to become the preferred collection partner for businesses and individuals seeking assistance with local debt collection. The agency distinguishes itself by blending personalised field visits with cutting-edge technology and a robust benchmarking system, ensuring transparency and accuracy in all operations. Their compliance rate exceeds 100%, and they maintain an impressive average debt collection rate of 72%.In 2024, all debt collection agencies in Singapore are mandated to operate only with a valid debt collection licence awarded by the Singapore Police Force. Fast Debt Recovery Specialist is among the first agencies to receive this prestigious licence, which is reserved for agencies recognised for their dedication to lawful and effective debt collection practices. This endorsement is vital as it establishes Fast Debt Recovery Specialist as a legally compliant and trustworthy agency. It also reassures their clients, both locally and globally, of the integrity of their practices and their team in delivering collection services within Singapore.The debt collection industry often faces unfavourable perceptions, even for legitimately credible agencies like Fast Debt Recovery Specialist, due to stigma and unethical practices that have surfaced in the news. By obtaining this licence, Fast Debt Recovery Specialist further elevates its credibility, assuring clients of their ethical practices."Receiving this licence is a testament to our dedication to compliant and transparent debt collection," said Ms. Lyn, Founder of Fast Debt Recovery Specialist. "We are committed to setting the highest standards in the industry."Fast Debt Recovery Specialist offers a comprehensive range of debt collection services, combining personalised field visits with advanced technology. Ms. Lyn attributes their growth to their unique methodology. "Our approach includes a stringent employee vetting process and a robust benchmarking system that ensures transparency and accuracy in all our operations. By handling everything in-house, we empower our clients to protect their reputation more effectively, achieve higher satisfaction, and see better success rates."Securing full payment through strategic guidance and authority collaborationA car repair business engaged Fast Debt Recovery Specialist to recover a $3,600 debt from a customer who had defaulted on payment. The debt collection firm proposed an initial discounted first settlement of $1,888, which was promptly paid. During this meeting, the agency was unaware that the debtor had also reached out to an authority figure in an attempt to avoid further payment.Shortly after, the client received a letter from this authority figure, a situation that could have been intimidating. However, with Fast Debt Recovery Specialist's expert advice and their experience in dealing with authorities, the client confidently navigated the incident. By leveraging on the agency's meticulous skip tracing, investigation, and strategic guidance, the authorities ruled that the debtor must pay the remaining $1,712, leading to the full recovery of $3,600. This case highlights Fast Debt Recovery Specialist's role as a credible and legitimate partner, capable of navigating complex situations while ensuring their clients' reputation and rightful financial interests are fully protected.Fast Debt Recovery Specialist's expertise is further demonstrated through their handling of multiple debts involving the same company director across three separate cases."During the first visit, we discovered we were unable to contact the director as he had disappeared," Ms Lyn recounted. "However, through extensive skip-tracing, we located his guarantor, and, after some negotiation, the guarantor paid off the debt in cash."A few months later, Fast Debt Recovery Specialist encountered the same debtor again, as other stakeholders were also pursuing him for unpaid debts."Fortunately, due to the good relationship we had built with his guarantor, we managed to locate the debtor," Ms Lyn shared. "Through amicable discussions, the director and his shareholder agreed to meet his financial obligations and took out a bank loan to settle his debt."The total debt collected amounted to approximately $150,000.These cases highlight Fast Debt Recovery Specialist's tenacity and strategic approach in ensuring debts are fully recovered, even in complex scenarios."With our newly acquired licence and unwavering commitment to excellence, Fast Debt Recovery Specialist is ready to assist even more businesses around the world with all their Singapore debt collection needs," Ms. Lyn added. "At Fast Debt Recovery Specialist, we firmly believe that 'No one deserves to be a victim of broken promises.' Contact us today to experience the difference."Fast Debt Recovery Specialist is dedicated to providing top-tier debt collection services that are compliant, transparent, and effective.

New Book Reveals First Ever Neuroscience-Powered GenAI Tools Global Brands Are Using to Win Consumers ACN Newswire

New Book Reveals First Ever Neuroscience-Powered GenAI Tools Global Brands Are Using to Win Consumers

BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA, Sept 10, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sensori.Ai, the only company blending neuroscience with generative AI (GenAI) to transform product innovation, consumer engagement and experiences, today announced the launch of the latest book from CEO and founder Dr. A.K. Pradeep and experts at Sensori AI. "Neuro AI: How to Win the Minds of Consumers Using Neuroscience-Powered Gen AI" ("Neuro AI") is prescriptive for practitioners of innovation, messaging and marketing and explores how to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace by transforming GenAI from ‘generic AI' to truly ‘generative AI.' Through the use of real world case studies and use cases, "NeuroAI" reveals practical applications for appealing to the nonconscious mind, where 95% of decisions are made. Published by Wiley and co-authored by Dr. Anirudh Acharya, Dr. Rajat Chakravarty and Ratnakar Dev, the book is now available via Amazon and all major booksellers.Since its founding in late 2022, Sensori.Ai has developed a number of solutions designed to embed neuroscience principles and breakthrough algorithms into GenAI to create unique consumer understanding, product innovation and sensory design platforms. The company pioneers the use of unique nonconscious data (data consumed by the decision making nonconscious mind of the consumer) to create its breakthroughs. For example, Sensori.Ai created the first neuroAI-based algorithm to aid in the creation of fragrance, flavor and music. To date, the company has helped develop over 20 new products, over 100 campaigns and packaging designs and repositioning for most of the recognized global brands in the CPG, FMCG, and retail spaces. "Neuro AI" provides a primer on the neuroscientific principles and research backing these solutions with a transparent look at how these algorithms are created and the rules they follow."Make no mistake: GenAI is revolutionizing every part of our lives today. Apple Intelligence is just the beginning of this revolution. ‘Neuro AI' shows how memory structures and translational neuroscience puts humanity back at the center of GenAI-based design," said Dr. Pradeep. "For instance, every product maker wants their consumer to desire their product. Algorithmically embedding the neuroscience of desire in GenAI creates exciting product designs and market messaging that speak deeply to the nonconscious mind of the consumer, which is the powerful, driving force behind purchasing decisions."95% of desires and decisions are rooted in the unconscious mind. By leveraging its architecture and selectively utilizing the data streams that feed it, GenAI algorithms can be trained to operate in vastly more efficient and creatively effective ways. This return to an anthropocentric GenAI rooted in neuroscience-hence the term neuroAI-is both the thesis of the book and the focus for Sensori.Ai. GenAI trained on key neuroscientific principles and using proprietary algorithms can quickly develop and refine product concepts, packaging, pricing, messaging and other key features to appeal to consumers in a deep, personal and brand-guided manner.Sensori.Ai's solutions focus on using neuroAI for four specific business needs: consumer understanding (including neurographic profiles, archetypes, price sensitivity, personality and proclivities); product and brand innovation (including product features, product patent and IP protection, product pricing, product promotion and product volumetrics prediction); sensorial innovation (including fragrance design, flavor design, music design and packaging visual design); and desire creation (including advertising, messaging, desire scoring, desire-based message redesign and desire-based PDP redesign). "NeuroAI" details all of the science and methods in these four areas, which are also contained in the Sensori.Ai platform and solution suite."AI is everywhere now, but there's precious little practical information about it that's available to people," said Priya Nair, Business Group President, Beauty & Wellbeing at Unilever. "NeuroAI" changes that. The big add is that the book also covers consumer neuroscience. It's a book that everyone who wants and needs to get a good grasp of this stunning technology, and how the mind works, should have.""Neuro AI" builds on Dr. Pradeep's decades-long experience in the field of consumer neuroscience, detailed in the titles "AI for Marketing and Product Innovation" (2019) and "The Buying Brain" (2010). Dr. Pradeep, a twice successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur, holds over 90 patents and previously founded NeuroFocus (acquired by Nielsen) to provide neurological testing for consumer research. He also founded BoardVantage (acquired by Nasdaq), to provide SaaS board governance software for boards of directors and executives.To learn more about Sensori.Ai and "Neuro AI: How to Win the Minds of Consumers Using Neuroscience-Powered Gen AI," please visit sensori.ai.

海外發展提速 美的盈利能力穩步提升 前景看俏

香港, 2024年9月10日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) — 自5月下旬以來,受外部頻繁擾動及內部增長壓力影響,港股再度震盪下跌。雖然8月份隨著美聯儲降息的臨近,港股實現階段性反抽,但中長期走勢仍取決於中國經濟的表現。市況不明朗之際,經營韌性凸顯且具備成長潛力的板塊龍頭可重點關注,首選整體增長穩健,海外市場表現強勁的美的集團。2024年上半年,美的集團實現營收2181億元(人民幣,下同),同比增長10%;實現歸母淨利潤208億元,同比增長14%。在行業發展承壓、消費升級發力的背景下,營收淨利依然實現雙位數的增長,經營韌性凸顯。此外,得益於其持續推進雙高端品牌戰略,產品結構升級帶來的正向作用,美的集團盈利能力不斷增強,毛利率、淨利率同比分別提升1.9及0.3個百分點,增至27.1%及9.7%。分市場來看,美的集團海外市場表現亮眼,正成為拉動其業績增長的重要引擎。該公司多年來積極拓展外銷業務,2024年上半年海外收入同比增加13%,其中電商銷售收入同比增長超過50%。同時,美的集團加速全球化佈局,持續投入海外研發中心建設、推動海外製造基地和生產基地建設,實現海內外業務的協同。2024年上半年美的智能家居應用海外新註冊用戶突破100萬,已註冊用戶達到310萬,平均 月活躍用戶數量同比增長近150%。筆者認為,在行業消費端較為低迷階段,美的集團依然能夠維持亮眼增速,充分體現了其作為龍頭公司穿越週期的穩健性以及紮實的基本面。同時,該公司全球化佈局加速突破,將為其盈利增長帶來超預期空間,且其擬通過港股上市助力海外市場拓展,看好其後續發展潛力,投資者可積極關注。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

加利福尼亞州伯克利, 2024年9月10日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - Sensori.Ai 是唯一一家將神經科學與生成式AI(GenAI)相結合,改變產品創新、消費者互動和體驗的公司。 今天宣佈了由首席執行官兼創始人A.K. Pradeep博士及 Sensori.Ai 專家團隊推出的最新著作《神經AI:如何利用神經科學驅動的生成式AI贏得消費者的心智》(簡稱《神經AI》)。 該書為創新、資訊傳遞和行銷領域的實踐者提供了實用建議,探討了如何將生成式AI從「通用AI」轉變為真正的“生成式AI”,以在市場中獲得競爭優勢。 通過真實案例研究和使用場景,《神經AI》揭示了如何應用於消費者潛意識的實際方法,而在潛意識中,95%的決策是被做出的。 該書由Wiley出版社出版,聯合作者包括Anirudh Acharya博士、Rajat Chakravarty博士和Ratnakar Dev,目前已在 Amazon和所有主要書店有售。自2022年底成立以來,Sensori.Ai 開發了多種解決方案,將神經科學原理和突破性演算法融入生成式AI,以創建獨特的消費者理解、產品創新和感官設計平臺。 該公司率先使用獨特的潛意識數據(即由消費者決策潛意識所處理的數據)來實現這些突破。 例如,Sensori.Ai 創建了首個基於神經AI的演算法,用於幫助創造香水、風味和音樂。 迄今為止,該公司已幫助開發了20多種新產品,參與了超過100個廣告活動、包裝設計和品牌重塑,合作物件包括消費品、快速消費品和零售領域的大多數全球知名品牌。 《神經AI》一書深入介紹了這些解決方案背後的神經科學原理和研究,並以透明的方式揭示了這些演算法的創建過程及其遵循的規則。“毫無疑問,生成式AI正在徹底改變我們生活的每個部分。 Apple Intelligence只是這場革命的開端。 《神經AI》展示了記憶結構和轉化神經科學如何將人類重新置於基於生成式AI設計的核心位置,“Pradeep博士表示。 “例如,每個產品製造商都希望他們的消費者渴望他們的產品。 將慾望的神經科學演算法嵌入生成式AI中,能夠創造出激動人心的產品設計和市場資訊,深刻打動消費者的潛意識,而這正是推動購買決策的強大力量。 ”95%的慾望和決策根植於潛意識中。 通過利用潛意識的架構,並有選擇地使用為其提供數據流的資訊,生成式AI演算法可以被訓練得更加高效且具有創造性。 這種回歸神經科學為基礎的人本主義生成式AI——也就是「神經AI」這個術語的由來——既是本書的核心論點,也是 Sensori.Ai 的重點方向。 基於關鍵神經科學原理訓練的生成式AI,並結合專有演算法,能夠快速開發和優化產品概念、包裝、定價、資訊傳遞等關鍵要素,從而以深刻、個人化且符合品牌導向的方式吸引消費者。Sensori.Ai 的解決方案專注於使用神經AI滿足四個特定的業務需求:消費者理解(包括神經圖像分析、原型、價格敏感性、個性和傾向); 產品和品牌創新(包括產品特性、產品專利和智慧財產權保護、產品定價、產品推廣和產品量預測); 感官創新(包括香味設計、風味設計、音樂設計和包裝視覺設計); 以及慾望創造(包括廣告、信息傳遞、慾望評分、基於慾望的資訊重新設計和基於慾望的產品展示頁面重新設計)。 《神經AI》詳細介紹了這四個領域中的所有科學和方法,這些內容也包含在 Sensori.Ai 平臺和解決方案套件中。“如今AI無處不在,但人們能獲得的實際操作資訊卻少之又少,”聯合利華美妝與健康事業部總裁Priya Nair表示。” 《神經AI》改變了這一現狀。 書中的亮點在於它還涵蓋了消費者神經科學。 對於任何想深入瞭解這項驚人技術以及人類大腦如何運作的人來說,這本書都是必備之選。 ”《神經AI》基於Pradeep博士在消費者神經科學領域數十年的經驗,延續了他在《AI for Marketing and Product Innovation》(2019)和《The Buying Brain》(2010)中的研究。Pradeep博士是兩次成功的矽谷企業家,擁有超過90項專利,並曾創立NeuroFocus(后被尼爾森收購),為消費者研究提供神經學測試。 他還創立了BoardVantage(后被納斯達克收購),為董事會和高管提供SaaS董事會治理軟體。欲瞭解更多關於 Sensori.Ai 及《神經AI:如何利用神經科學驅動的生成式AI贏得消費者的心智》的資訊,請訪問 sensori.ai。 該書可通過Amazon在以下地區購買:荷蘭沙烏地阿拉伯南非埃及法國巴西西班牙印度義大利墨西哥英國新加坡瑞典土耳其關於 Sensori.Ai Sensori.Ai 是全球唯一一家將生成式人工智慧與人類潛意識數據相結合,開發品牌觸達消費者並吸引其內心深處慾望的新方式的公司。 該公司由連續創業者、消費者神經科學專家A.K.

YesAsia增設物流中心 前景看俏

香港, 2024年9月10日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) — 分析一間公司,除了看業績之外,還可以看投入的基礎建設或人才培訓等等,例如早前公布亮麗業績的喆麗控股(02209),近年大力增設物流中心以應對客戶需求攀升,可見生意接不停。事實上,集團旗下的企業對消費者(B2C)之YesStyle平台,已躋身多個主要海外市場(包括美國、英國、加拿大、澳洲、法國、德國、意大利及西班牙)的亞洲美容產品網站訪問量之首,前景值得留意。喆麗控股旗下主要還有兩個平台,分別是企業對企業(B2B)的Asian Beauty Wholesale平台,以及企業對消費者(B2C)的YesAsia平台。整體業績方面,上半年收益1.63億美元,按年增加80.2%;純利1111萬美元,大增610.6%。期內,兩大主要業務YesStyle和Asian Beauty Wholesale各佔集團收益76.6%和22.6%,合共99.2%,各自半年的收益已接近去年全年的整體貢獻,可見增長強勁。喆麗控股目前於香港設立自主移動機械人(AMR)貨倉及配送中心,並於美國、英國和德國建立三個專為其B2B渠道服務的海外貨倉。增設的倉庫不僅有助於縮短交付時間及降低運輸成本,亦提高YesStyle及Asian Beauty Wholesale的可擴充性。而且,集團的客戶關係管理系統,利用人工智能算法收集及分析客戶的實時交易及行為數據。該系統其後會根據客戶對產品類型及定價的偏好,為客戶提供最佳選擇,從而提高銷售業績。提升營運效率 應對電商增長為進一步控制成本、縮短交付時間及加強線上訂單履約能力,以及順應韓國護膚和化妝產品(K-Beauty)市場的蓬勃發展,喆麗控股不繼提升現有配送能力,並將於香港豐樹青衣物流中心增設第二個AMR貨倉。估計新倉庫將在應對飆升的市場需求方面發揮重要作用,因為憑藉現有配送中心累積的豐富經驗,集團可透過這一全新的高度自動化設施,以較少的人力資源提升營運效率及配送能力,從而滿足電商平台快速增長的客戶需求。集團亦在尋求與物流公司合作,以進一步降低從香港及韓國到海外市場的貨運成本。喆麗控股增設物流中心以滿足激增的客戶需求,可見其管理層對未來發展前景充滿信心,資本市場亦對集團投下了支持的一票,從近期股價反覆向上可見一斑,前景可期。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Toronto Stock Exchange Unveils the 2024 TSX30, Recognizing the Companies Powering Canada’s Economy

Annual ranking highlights top-performing stocks' roles in energy security and electrification, and a shift from growth to value investingToronto, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - September 10, 2024) - Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) today announced its sixth annual TSX30®, a ranking of the top 30 performing companies based on dividend-adjusted share price performance over a three-year period. The 2024 list underscores how these companies are driving advancements in sectors such as energy, electrification, and critical minerals, while delivering strong investor returns and shaping Canada's economy.Topping the 2024 TSX30 is Hammond Power Solutions Inc. (TSX:HPS.A), a company that enables electrification through its broad range of dry-type transformers, power quality products, and related magnetics, with a dividend-adjusted share price that has increased 928% over the past three years. Collectively, TSX30 companies represent over $380 billion in market capitalization, having added an impressive $210 billion during that period — nearly a quarter of a trillion dollars in value creation — while achieving an average dividend-adjusted share price appreciation of 234%."This year's TSX30 reflects the leadership and innovation of Canadian companies as Canada transitions to a cleaner energy future," said Loui Anastasopoulos, CEO, Toronto Stock Exchange. "These top performers are shaping the future of Canada's economy and ensuring our strengths in energy and mining align with the emerging technology sector to keep Canada competitive on the global stage."Adrian Thomas, CEO, Hammond Power Solutions, added, "Being named the top company in the 2024 TSX30 underscores both our commitment to driving progress in the energy sector and our team's ability to adapt and thrive in dynamic markets. We are proud to play a role in the energy transition space and strive to meet the evolving needs of a changing world."Sector leadership: Interconnected industries driving growthThe 2024 ranking is dominated by three sectors - Oil & Gas, Industrial Products & Services, and Mining - accounting for 25 of the 30 companies on the list. This strong representation reflects the interconnected nature of these industries and their continued contributions to Canada's economic prosperity, particularly as Canada navigates energy security in the current environment and the transition to cleaner sources of energy.Energy: Balancing security and innovationEnergy companies feature prominently on the 2024 TSX30, representing over half of the issuers. Amid global geopolitical tensions, these companies play an important role in ensuring a reliable energy supply. Athabasca Oil Corp. (TSX: ATH), for example, is a notable contributor to current energy needs while reducing the carbon intensity of its operations through transformational technologies.Industrials and mining: Supporting the energy transitionThe Industrial Products & Services sector, which includes companies like Hammond Power Solutions, can provide support and infrastructure for energy transition and electrification projects. The Mining sector is also growing, driven by demand for critical minerals needed for electric vehicles (EVs), batteries, and low-carbon and renewable energy. Half of this year's TSX30 mining companies focus on base metals crucial for these technologies. Cameco Corporation (TSX: CCO), a uranium production company and a pure-play investment in the growing demand for nuclear energy, has seen renewed interest, underscoring the importance of critical minerals in the shift to a low-carbon economy.Technology: Catalyst for navigating energy transitionTechnology companies are a driving force behind the growth across energy and related industrial sectors. Celestica Inc. (TSX: CLS), a company that offers solutions for grid stability and EV infrastructure, ranked second in the 2024 TSX30. Celestica's 706% dividend-adjusted share price increase emphasizes the importance of technology in helping navigate the transition to a lower-carbon future.Investor trends: A shift towards value investingThe 2024 TSX30 indicates a changing investor focus from growth investing to value investing, with a preference for companies with positive cash flow and a history of consistent dividends. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of the 30 companies paid dividends, averaging a 2.8% yield. This is significantly higher compared to the eight dividend-paying companies on the 2021 TSX30, which had an average yield a full percentage point lower. This trend reflects the appeal of stable, cash-generating companies in a volatile market.Other highlights from the 2024 ranking include:- Graduations from TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) to TSX: Nine of this year's TSX30 companies graduated from TSXV, showcasing how this unique two-tiered ecosystem can nurture emerging businesses in growing their market capitalization and investor exposure.- Representation on leading indices: 17 of the companies are included on either the S&P/TSX Composite Index* or S&P/TSX 60 Index*, enhancing their visibility among investors globally.- Consistent performers: 14 of the 2024 TSX30 companies have appeared in previous TSX30 rankings (since 2019), with their collective dividend-adjusted share prices up 210% and market capitalization rising 147% during that time.For detailed results and further information about the ranking methodology, visit www.tsx.com/tsx30.The 2024 TSX30 ranking:RankingCompany NameTickerThree-year dividend-adjusted share price performance1Hammond Power Solutions Inc.HPS.A928%2Celestica Inc.CLS706%3Athabasca Oil CorporationATH429%4CES Energy Solutions Corp.CEU335%5TerraVest Industries Inc.TVK289%6NuVista Energy Ltd.NVA257%7Bird Construction Inc.BDT245%8MEG Energy Corp.MEG226%9Secure Energy Services Inc.SES216%10International Petroleum CorporationIPCO215%11China Gold International Resources Corp.

喆麗增設物流中心 前景看俏

香港, 2024年9月10日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) — 分析一間公司,除了看業績之外,還可以看投入的基礎建設或人才培訓等等,例如早前公布亮麗業績的喆麗控股(02209),近年大力增設物流中心以應對客戶需求攀升,可見生意接不停。事實上,集團旗下的企業對消費者(B2C)之YesStyle平台,已躋身多個主要海外市場(包括美國、英國、加拿大、澳洲、法國、德國、意大利及西班牙)的亞洲美容產品網站訪問量之首,前景值得留意。喆麗控股旗下主要還有兩個平台,分別是企業對企業(B2B)的Asian Beauty Wholesale平台,以及企業對消費者(B2C)的YesAsia平台。整體業績方面,上半年收益1.63億美元,按年增加80.2%;純利1111萬美元,大增610.6%。期內,兩大主要業務YesStyle和Asian Beauty Wholesale各佔集團收益76.6%和22.6%,合共99.2%,各自半年的收益已接近去年全年的整體貢獻,可見增長強勁。喆麗控股目前於香港設立自主移動機械人(AMR)貨倉及配送中心,並於美國、英國和德國建立三個專為其B2B渠道服務的海外貨倉。增設的倉庫不僅有助於縮短交付時間及降低運輸成本,亦提高YesStyle及Asian Beauty Wholesale的可擴充性。而且,集團的客戶關係管理系統,利用人工智能算法收集及分析客戶的實時交易及行為數據。該系統其後會根據客戶對產品類型及定價的偏好,為客戶提供最佳選擇,從而提高銷售業績。提升營運效率 應對電商增長為進一步控制成本、縮短交付時間及加強線上訂單履約能力,以及順應韓國護膚和化妝產品(K-Beauty)市場的蓬勃發展,喆麗控股不繼提升現有配送能力,並將於香港豐樹青衣物流中心增設第二個AMR貨倉。估計新倉庫將在應對飆升的市場需求方面發揮重要作用,因為憑藉現有配送中心累積的豐富經驗,集團可透過這一全新的高度自動化設施,以較少的人力資源提升營運效率及配送能力,從而滿足電商平台快速增長的客戶需求。集團亦在尋求與物流公司合作,以進一步降低從香港及韓國到海外市場的貨運成本。喆麗控股增設物流中心以滿足激增的客戶需求,可見其管理層對未來發展前景充滿信心,資本市場亦對集團投下了支持的一票,從近期股價反覆向上可見一斑,前景可期。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Inaugural Hong Kong Shopping Festival ends successfully

- The inaugural Hong Kong Shopping Festival, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), concluded successfully in August with total impressions exceeding 90 million on e-commerce discussion forums and official website- The festival helped local SMEs increase brand awareness and gain practical experience in expanding into the mainland market via e-commerce. Hong Kong companies received numerous enquiries and orders from potential customers during the event- The event collaborated with more than 30 renowned mainland KOLs on three major e-commerce platforms, with live-streaming e-commerce promotions for more than 60 Hong Kong brands, demonstrating mainland consumers’ strong confidence in the city’s goods- The HKTDC is actively preparing for the next edition of the Hong Kong Shopping Festival to help more local SMEs enter the mainland e-commerce marketHONG KONG, Sept 9, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Shopping Festival, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and fully supported by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), concluded successfully in late August, helping local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) increase brand awareness and gain practical experience in expanding into the mainland market via e-commerce channels. The event received an enthusiastic response, with more than 90 million impressions on e-commerce discussion forums and official website.Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the HKSAR Government, said: "The global e-commerce market continues to grow rapidly. In particular, the mainland has been the leading online retail market for 11 consecutive years, becoming an engine of growth for Hong Kong SMEs to expand their businesses. The HKSAR Government put forward a number of initiatives in the 2023 Policy Address to encourage and assist local SMEs in developing e-commerce businesses and seizing market opportunities. We are delighted that the inaugural Hong Kong Shopping Festival was well received and gained the robust support of local businesses, motivating more SMEs to participate in e-commerce businesses. The Government will continue to support SMEs through various measures, including the SME Export Marketing Fund and ‘E-commerce Easy’, so as to encourage SMEs to upgrade and restructure their operations and develop e-commerce businesses, thereby promoting the development of new quality productive forces.”Stephen Liang, Assistant Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “The inaugural Hong Kong Shopping Festival has concluded after a successful one-month run, providing local SMEs with a practical platform to master the art of e-commerce. The event has also significantly enhanced SMEs’ brand awareness, building a solid foundation for their future development in the mainland e-commerce market. Following the event, many SMEs have expressed interest in participating in future Hong Kong Shopping Festivals, demonstrating their strong interest in the e-commerce sector and willingness to tap into the enormous potential of the mainland market. This positive response has given us the impetus to organise the event again next year.”Throughout August, the HKTDC, led by Paul Chan, Financial Secretary of the HKSAR Government, collaborated with celebrities and influencers to promote the Hong Kong Shopping Festival through various strategically planned digital marketing channels, including Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Taobao, JD and others, boosting visits to the official website and, in turn, to the SMEs’ own online stores.Understanding live-streaming and other techniques in mainland marketDuring the festival, several SMEs kickstarted live-streaming e-commerce in the mainland market, including Markwill Solutions Limited, the exclusive distributor of Gold Energy Snail Synergy, a Korean skincare and cosmetic brand, in Hong Kong. The company applied to run promotions on JD as the starting point. “The procedures were slightly complex, but luckily the HKTDC was on hand to help,” said Markwill Solutions Manager Man Leung.As a beginner in the mainland e-commerce field, Mr Leung watched numerous live-streaming sessions to explore the broadcast style of KOLs, learn the industry jargon and understand the discount strategies in the mainland market. He found out that while the popular term in Hong Kong is “buy 2 get 1 free”, the mainland market uses terms such as “expected paid price”, which was completely new to him. He also became aware that a key factor in driving sales of skincare and cosmetic products is the location of consumers.“The weather in the southern, middle and northern regions [of Mainland China] is different, as is the people’s need for cosmetics,” Mr Leung said. He also noticed that the KOLs who partnered with the brand were all from the northern regions, while customers were mainly from the northern and central regions. This made him realise the importance of the company conducting more research into how regional and seasonal factors could influence the shopping desires of customers.Cross International Limited runs First Edible Nest, which sells dried seafood. The company had already begun exploring e-commerce, hiring KOLs to conduct live-streaming sessions in the mainland market since the pandemic in 2020. However, owing to its limited budget, the company found it hard to invite renowned KOLs to work with them. “This time, the HKTDC was able to connect us with top-tier KOLs,” said Manager Eddy Lo. During the festival period, six live-streaming sessions on Tmall and Douyin were conducted. “Two of the sessions on Tmall were excellent, generating RMB300,000 in revenue. I was pleased with the sales figures.” Kiu Fung Hong Limited, which sells food products such as potato chips, also achieved encouraging sales figures during the Hong Kong Shopping Festival. CEO Ellis Wong said the company had been selling its products on JD. When it came to the Hong Kong Shopping Festival in August, “comparing our average monthly orders from January to July, the August orders soared by 135 times,” he said. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the promotions run during the festival and Mr Wong said he hoped the event could be held regularly to continue the momentum. He encouraged other SMEs to participate in the next Hong Kong Shopping Festival to gain experience in how to develop the mainland market via e-commerce channels.Promotion boost online impressions, influencers showcase Hong KongThe Hong Kong Shopping Festival promoted online-offline integration with 10 million impressions on the Xiaohongshu platform. The Hong Kong Shopping Festival partnered with a diverse group of celebrities and influencers for engaging promotional activities, with the likes of Moses Chan, Grace Chan, Kenneth Ma and Hu Ke adding vibrancy to the event. In addition, more than 30 renowned mainland KOLs, including Li Jiaqi and Chen Jie Kiki, conducted over 30 live-streaming e-commerce sessions on three major platforms, endorsing over 60 brands by planting seeds to boost brand awareness. Influencers also showcased Hong Kong's cultural customs, distinctive foods and urban landscapes through offline city walks, drawing significant interest and generating discussions. Food and health supplement products garnered particular attention during the promotional campaign, reflecting the strong confidence of mainland consumers in the reputation and quality assurance of Hong Kong goods.The Hong Kong Shopping Festival aligns with a measure in the 2023 Policy Address to assist Hong Kong's SMEs in expanding into the Mainland China market via e-commerce channels with the slogan “Unveiling a New Lifestyle, Curated by Hong Kong". “Unveiling a New Lifestyle” refers to launching new products in the market and the aspiration to enrich people's lives through these products. “Curated by Hong Kong”, meanwhile, reflects the meticulously selected quality products from Hong Kong that are being made available to mainland consumers.The first Hong Kong Shopping Festival gathered more than 230 brands, showcasing 500 products and exclusive discounts in six major categories: apparel and accessories, personal care and cosmetics, home and living, classic food, smart gadgets and health supplements. The event not only helped Hong Kong’s SMEs leverage the customer base and traffic on mainland e-commerce platforms and increase brand awareness, but also helped them gain practical experience in how to expand into the huge mainland e-commerce market.Hong Kong Shopping Festival Website: https://bit.ly/4fR29clPhoto download: https://bit.ly/4dUZvBdThe Hong Kong Shopping Festival invited renowned Mainland China KOLs to host live-streaming e-commerce sessions, resulting in a very enthusiastic response.The inaugural Hong Kong Shopping Festival, organised by the HKTDC, achieved total impressions of more than 90 million on e-commerce discussion forums and official website.HKSAR Financial Secretary Paul Chan showed his support in a promotional video to promote the Hong Kong Shopping Festival.

The new licenses also consolidate the extensions of intrusive complex targets included in the existing earn-in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti.Regional geophysics strongly indicates that Kincora's Nyngan license has the potential to host the largest volcano-intrusive complex of the Macquarie Arc, which is currently almost untested with drilling to commence within the month in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti.Kincora's portfolio and the wider NJNB offers new district-scale discovery potential with spatial and temporal settings, coupled with magnetics, gravity and new ANT surveys, supportive of large-scale targets analogous to porphyry deposits located in the southern section of the Macquarie Arc which host an existing >160Moz gold equivalent endowment (see Figure 2) 1.To help emphasis the true new district scale potential of the Company's NJNB portfolio, the total AngloGold Ashanti earn-in and Kincora wholly owned project portfolio now covers a strike length that is twice that of the rapidly emerging Vicuña porphyry district (see Figure 2).Within the Vicuña district, NGEx Resources Inc in 2009 held three early-stage exploration projects that, at the time, supported a market capitalisation of approximately C$40 million 2. These same projects are all still at a pre-development phase but have yielded four large-scale discoveries currently valued at over C$8.5 billion after the corporate transactions involving BHP and Lundin Mining last month 2, 3.Of particular note, the new Nevertire South project (962km2) is considered highly prospective and consolidates the ~8 x 12km Nevertire Magmatic Complex, the northern third held in Kincora's existing partnership with AngloGold Ashanti (see the insert in Figure 2).Prior explorer drilling at the southern section of the Nevertire Magmatic Complex (within the Nevertire South project) has returned anomalous copper-gold mineralisation, favourable fertility defined by green rock analysis, geochemical zonation and alteration suggestive of an outer porphyry system setting with age dates confirming a highly prospective Phase 4 Macquarie Arc intrusive complex (at approximately 220m depth down hole). This supports Nevertire South being the most advanced porphyry project within the NJNB district (see Figure 4), situated under potentially only 100 metres of cover and enhancing the value of the adjacent Nevertire project.Kincora has recently secured three prior exploration drill holes from the Nevertire South project with relogging planned as discussions with potential technical and funding partners progress.About the NJNB Project PortfolioThe Macquarie Arc is Australia's premier porphyry copper-gold province and the undercover extensions of the Arc are a globally significant exploration opportunity offering new district(s) scale discovery potential. The region has recently attracted five major earn-in/option and joint venture agreements supporting potentially over $300 million in exploration and development expenditure, including the recent option and joint venture agreements between Gold Fields and privately owned Gold & Copper Resources 4.The most recent notable example of a new emerging globally significant porphyry district is the Vicuña district in the central Andes in Argentina on the border of Chile, which is largely consolidated by Lundin group entities and BHP and situated at over 4000m altitude. Within this district NGEx Resources Inc in 2009 held three early stage exploration projects and at the time had a market capitalisation of approximately C$40 million. These same projects are all still at a pre-development phase but have yielded in four large-scale discoveries currently valued at over C$8.5 billion (see Figure 2).Regional geophysics strongly indicates that the largest sections of the Macquarie Arc still remain untested under post mineral cover within the NJNB. Kincora was the early entrant securing a district scale position in the interpreted shallow to moderate covered core sections of this region by pegging Nyngan and Nevertire (covering now 939 km2).Post securing AngloGold Ashanti as a partner for the Nyngan and Nevertire projects, Kincora has opportunistically secured (on a 100% ownership basis) the Nyngan West, Nyngan South and Nevertire South projects (covering 1,377 km2) which are viewed as hosting shallow to moderate covered sections of the targeted Macquarie Arc and the extensions of intrusive complex targets included in the existing earn-in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti.Kincora seeks to continue to systematically advance its project pipeline within the under cover extension of the Macquarie Arc and bring in funding and technical partners.About the AngloGold Ashanti PartnershipKincora has an initial multiple-phase Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement with AngloGold Ashanti for the Nyngan and Nevertire licenses 5.AngloGold has the right to spend up to A$50 million to earn a 80% interest through:A$25 million of exploration expenditure to earn a 70% joint venture interest (Phase I) including a minimum A$2 million expenditure obligation, with Kincora the initial operator for a 10% management fee.Completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) or funding of a further $25 million of expenditure to earn a 80% joint venture interest (Phase II).Under the agreement a wide range of untested large intrusive-related copper-gold targets will be drill tested seeking to confirm the potential for a new district of copper-gold porphyry system complexes.AngloGold Ashanti is the world's fourth largest gold miner by production with a successful track record for new Greenfield discovery success. Within the Macquarie Arc, AngloGold Ashanti has secured Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreements with both Kincora and Inflection Resources (Inflection, ticker "AUCU.CSE") covering greater than 8,000km2 in the NJNB.Subject to permitting, access and weather conditions Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti's first drilling program is anticipated to commence within the month. The program seeks to test new district-scale potential with up to eight large intrusive complex targets to be drill-tested for the first time in this initial first phase program. Approximately 6 to 8 drill holes for an estimated 4000-5000 metres are budgeted to be complete before the summer break 6.Figure 1: The new Nyngan West, Nyngan South and Nevertire South projects are adjacent to and the interpreted extensions of the Nyngan and Nevertire projects where maiden partner funded ground geophysical surveys are already on-going with Fleet Space and maiden drilling activities are shortly ramping up in partnership with and funded by the AngloGold Ashanti earn-in agreement for the Nyngan projectKincora continues to secure the best ground, do deals and drill, testing targets that offer Tier-1 copper-gold scale potentialRecently in the district there have been earn-in/option and joint venture agreements focused on porphyry exploration by AngloGold Ashanti (with Kincora and Inflection Resources), Gold Fields (with Gold & Copper), FMG (with Magmatic) and S2 Resources (with Legacy Minerals) supporting potentially over $300 million in exploration expenditureTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/222613_aac1627684c97809_001full.jpgFigure 2: Kincora's portfolio in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt (including in partnership AngloGold Ashanti and Kincora wholly owned ground) now covers a continuous strike of over 100km, twice that of the rapidly emerging Vicuña porphyry districtKincora and its partners are seeking to confirm new district scale potential of the under cover extensions of the Macquarie Arc, which in the out/sub-cropping sections of the Arc host multiple world-class mines and a metal endowment of over 160M oz gold equivalentTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/222613_aac1627684c97809_002full.jpgFigure 3: Kincora has recently secure three prior explorer drill holes for the Nevertire South project with relogging planned as discussions with potential technical and funding partners progressKincora has recently obtained from the Cadia mine site diamond core farm three prior Newcrest drill holes, one of which confirms a highly prospective Phase 4 Macquarie Arc intrusive complex.
