GA-ASI and Hanwha Finalize Deal To Produce Gray Eagle(R) STOL UAS ACN Newswire

GA-ASI and Hanwha Finalize Deal To Produce Gray Eagle(R) STOL UAS

SAN DIEGO, Oct 14, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and South Korea industry leader Hanwha Aerospace signed an agreement on October 14 to partner in development of the Gray Eagle® Short Takeoff and Landing (GE STOL) unmanned aircraft system (UAS). This landmark agreement marks the beginning of a new phase in U.S.-Korea defense cooperation, extending beyond traditional alliance structures to deliver next-generation, runway-independent UAS solutions that maximize commanders' options in the face of evolving mission demands.The deal marks the beginning of a co-development and co-production program between GA-ASI and Hanwha, with work set to begin immediately. The GE STOL will be offered to a worldwide customer base, including South Korea Ministry of Defense and the United States War Department.Under the agreement, the two companies will design and build a production representative GE STOL. The maiden flight is scheduled for 2027 and first delivery to customers in 2028. With a GA-ASI-funded prototype already flying, the program has demonstrated its ability to accelerate from development to delivery. By leveraging the trusted Gray Eagle foundation and forward-leaning investments, the partnership offers the fastest path with lowest risk to operational capability. GA-ASI and Hanwha Aerospace will work closely throughout the design phase and establish a production facility in South Korea for final assembly and manufacturing of the GE STOL, with GA-ASI handling the final integration. GA-ASI will continue to produce its other Gray Eagle models in San Diego."GA-ASI and Hanwha are committed to investing in this project and building development and production capabilities in South Korea," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "We'll be leveraging the expertise of both companies to quickly bring the Gray Eagle STOL to global customers."Gray Eagle STOL is the only medium-altitude, long-endurance UAS in its class to offer true runway independence by operating from semi-improved surfaces, including dirt roads, open fields, beaches, and parking lots. This exponentially increases its operational employment by providing multi-mission capability for Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA), counter UAS, and other missions including Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) while leveraging GE STOL's modular open systems approach.Using the GE STOL demonstrator, called Mojave, GA-ASI recorded several first-of-their-kind aviation milestones, including a 2024 demonstration when GA-ASI and Hanwha flew Mojave from the South Korean Navy's amphibious landing ship ROKS Dokdo (LPH-6111) as it was underway at sea off the coast of Pohang, South Korea. It has also been launched and recovered aboard the British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales (2023), performed live-fire testing at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona (2024), and performed dirt strip operations (2023) underscoring GA-ASI's advances in runway independence and operational flexibility.The initiative is part of Hanwha's strategic investment plan in its UAS business. This commitment, together with GA-ASI's continued focus on UAS, demonstrates both companies' strategy to invest ahead of customer demand, reducing risk and lowering lifecycle costs through international cost-sharing, and ensuring timely delivery of next-generation UAS solutions in Korea and abroad."Jointly producing GE STOL in South Korea and the U.S. will create jobs and help Hanwha secure talent in related fields as well as foster our domestic (Korean) UAS industry ecosystem. Hanwha is poised to become a comprehensive UAS company capable of executing everything from design to production and maintenance based on our capabilities, which span from fighter jet engines to radar and avionics equipment," said Mr. Jae-il Son, President and CEO of Hanwha Aerospace.Together, GA-ASI and Hanwha are delivering a low-risk, investment-backed, and innovation-driven UAS solution that provides commanders unmatched flexibility faster and at lower cost.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

These include the Meritilga target where preparations have commenced for a high impact drilling program to test the down dip and on strike extensions of the existing system which hosts broad near surface gold-silver-base metal mineralisation with ore grade intervals (including 4m @ 20g/t gold and 30.2g/t silver from 75m 1).In light of near record Australian gold and silver prices, Kincora has commenced a review of prior encouraging drilling results within a paleochannel at the Meritilga target, which has including up to 28.4g/t gold in gravels (from 4m) and 3.99g/t gold in basement (from 28m) 2.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, commented,"We are pleased to commence exploration at our wholly owned Condobolin project at a time of significant exploration, development and corporate success in the southern and lesser explored section of the Cobar Basin. Kincora has a well-planned strategy to explore the extensions of the Condobolin Mineral Field, which has a substantial mining history for high grade gold, silver and base metals. The project is well located to existing infrastructure, is easy to explore and has very limited effective exploration below the shallow weathering profile. The extent of historical mining, and geochemical and geophysical anomalies, indicate excellent potential for multiple new discoveries. We are looking to systematically use exploration techniques that have already yielded the Meritilga discovery and many new recent discoveries in the north of the district at similar and earlier stage profile projects. The designed multi-phase campaign is a capital efficient value add strategy at a project that has the potential to excite in the current very strong precious metals environment."Figure 1: Kincora has seven major project groups located in Central West NSW, six porphyry and one Cobar style mineral system, all located in world-class geological terrains which host Tier-1 mines The Condobolin project is in the southern and lesser explored section of the Cobar BasinTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/270304_18516798242cc817_001full.jpgCOBAR DISTRICTThe Cobar Basin has a 150-year history of high-grade, long-life mining and is an important supplier of critical and precious metals. The region benefits from established infrastructure and favourable ESG considerations with significant scope for processing and mining efficiencies, supporting potential consolidation.The district has recently seen several significant new discoveries utilising modern exploration techniques in lesser explored regions (eg Federation, Achilles, Mallee Bull, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank) and emerging corporate activity (eg Harmony's A$1.6 billion takeover for MAC Copper (MAC.ASX) and Kingston Resources (KSN.ASX) recently receiving A$50 million cash for the first tranche of its divestment of its PNG Misima project).CONDOBOLIN PROJECTThe project and regional profiles' support the Condobolin project being an asset that a junior explorer such as Kincora can add significant value to. A multi-phase exploration campaign of regional scale exploration and target specific drilling has commenced and is fully funded following the Company's July 2025 non-brokered private placement (C$4m raising with a 12-month hold period).The Condobolin project was historically the focus of up to 25 informal open pit operations (peak late 1800's-early 1900's), with mining impacted by the water table and exploration by the weathering profile. The mineral field has not been effectively explored below the weathered zone (~30m).Very limited modern exploration has taken with initial activities by Clancy Exploration (Clancy, now RareX Limited) yielding encouraging results at all five prospects drilled (2011-13), including a virgin high-grade gold discovery at the Meritilga Prospect.More recently within the immediate district, Kingston Resources (ASX: KSN) has significantly expanded the resources and restarted hard rock mining at the Mineral Hill mine, Talisman Mining (ASX: TLM) has recent new success at its Rip N Tear and Durnings targets (to both the immediate north and south of Mineral Hill), while Australian Gold and Copper (ASX: AGC) has excited the market with its new potential district scale discovery at its Achilles target located within the south western extension of the Cobar Basin.The Condobolin project is located approximately 40km south from the mill at Mineral Hill and north of the Condobolin town (which is the primary source of employees to Mineral Hill operation who drive through the Condobolin project to work) - see Figure 2.Kincora has consolidated a 100% project ownership and continued to expand our foothold across the near surface potential of the historical Condobolin Mineral Field. The total project size is 297km2 across two adjacent licenses with a new license application (latter 90km2) - see Figure 3.To advance the potential of the wider project and historical mining field, Kincora has mobilised an AEM survey covering over 800 line-kilometres utilising Expert Geophysics Pty Ltd's (Expert Geophysics) TargetEM26 system. Approximately 20% of the wider project is out-sub cropping with the average depth of cover in non-outcropping areas less than 5 metres supporting very easy exploration with surface geology and sampling being an effective, quick and cheap methods - see Figures 3 & 4.AEM surveys have proven to be a highly effective discovery technique in this region significantly contribution in several recent discoveries in the Cobar Basin. The survey is a quick low impact method to provide subsurface structure across the full historic Condobolin Mineral Field with an infill survey across multiple targets, including Meritilga, many of which have significant base metal and gold-silver anomalies - see Figures 3 & 4 overlaying lead anomalism from soil sampling.Figure 2: Regional brownfield and greenfield exploration projects are generating new discoveries and drill targets in a lesser explored but historic mining districtThe Condobolin project is located at the southern end of the Cobar Basin, benefits from existing infrastructure and is near the Mineral Hill mill which is seeking organic and inorganic means to fill existing excess mill capacityTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/270304_image2.jpgThe Meritilga target was a new discovery made by Clancy in 2012 following up a coincident 2km x 2km arsenic-lead-zinc (+gold) geochemical anomaly and K-channel radiometric anomaly over ridges east of the historic mines at Mascotte and west of Potters. The anomalies coincided with key NE-striking structures identified in detailed 3D induced polarization (IP) surveys 1.The gold, silver and base metals system is situated within a lode with high grade lens (ore grade, eg 4m @ 20g/t gold, 30.2 g/t silver from 75m, including 1m @ 62g/t gold, 60g/t silver in hole CORC029) and a lower grade halo. The lode is a consistent body, open up and down dip 1, 3.Land access agreements are in place and the permitting process commenced for an up to 15 diamond drill hole program for 4100 metres testing down dip (up to 350m depth) and strike extensions and the potential for repeat high grade lens and/or a stacked series of lenses.This setting is supported by the last phase of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling by Clancy, the one diamond hole drilled by Kincora in 2023, coupled with a favourable structural setting where the main Meritilga Fault has been cross-cut by N-S trending faults 4.The current working geological model, underpinned by pathfinder zonation and coincident geophysical anomalies, supports the potential for a larger mineralised intrusive source at depth - see Figure 6. The AEM survey is expected to also better advance and refine these concepts.Given shifting in commodity prices, Kincora has commenced a review of prior encouraging very shallow gold drilling results of Clancy. In 2011, twenty Air-Core (AC) holes tested the Tilga paleochannel with several significant hits returned. The best intercept was 1m @ 28.4g/t Au (from 4m, hole COAC012 in the gravels) and 3.99g/t Au (from 28m, hole COAC005 in basement) 2.The average depth of the paleochannel gravels was 7.9m with a potential target area of 2km by 0.5km - see Figure 4. The last review of the alluvial gold potential was undertaken by Clancy when the Australian gold price was approximately A$1500/ounce (versus current spot of almost A$6000/oz). The review by Kincora will explore the potential alternatives, budgets and partnering opportunities available to advance the alluvial (placer) gold potential either concurrent with the wider Condobolin project or as a standalone project.Figure 3: Kincora has increased the size of the total Condobolin project by a third and commenced an airborne geophysical survey across the historic Condobolin Mineral Field The extent of historical mining, existing near surface geochemical and geophysical anomalies provides excellent potential for multiple new discoveries as Kincora implements modern systematic exploration approaches that have already yielded the Meritilga discovery plus many recent discoveries in the north of the district at similar and earlier stage profile projectsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/270304_image3_550.jpgFigure 4: The extent of historical mining, existing near surface geochemical and geophysical anomalies, coupled with limited modern exploration or exploration below the weathered zone provides excellent potential for multiple new discoveriesSouth-western portion of the Condobolin Project, including the Tilga Paleochannel where prior Clancy drilling supported the potential for alluvial (placer) goldTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/270304_image4.jpgFigure 5: Limited prior modern exploration by Clancy resulted in the Meritilga discovery with follow up drilling planned to test down dip, on strike and the potential for repeat high grade lens and/or a stacked series of lenses.

Everest Medicines Announces First Patient Enrolled in a Global Multi-Center Phase I Clinical Trial of Tumor-Associated Antigen Cancer Vaccine EVM14

HONG KONG, Oct 14, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Everest Medicines today announced that the first patient has been enrolled in a global multi-center Phase I clinical trial of its Tumor-Associated Antigen Cancer Vaccine EVM14 at NEXT Oncology Virginia in the United States. Previously, the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for EVM14 has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in China. EVM14 becomes Everest Medicines’ first internally developed therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine to receive IND approvals from both China’s NMPA and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).EVM14, an off-the-shelf therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine, is developed based on Everest Medicines' proprietary mRNA platform. It is formulated with mRNA encoding 5 tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) and is designed to treat various squamous cell carcinomas, including squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sq-NSCLC) and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In the targeted cancer types, 96% of patients with sq-NSCLC and 97% of patients with HNSCC expressed at least one of the five target genes[1]. TTA vaccines offer distinct advantages, including elimination of HLA screening requirements, off-the-shelf availability, lower production costs versus personalized neoantigen vaccines, and applicability across multiple tumor types.“The cancer burden in China remains substantial. Neither immunotherapy nor targeted therapy can offer long term benefits to cancer patients. EVM14 is designed to treat various squamous cell carcinomas, EVM14’s unique mechanism offers the potential to complement current treatments by enhancing the efficacy via combination therapies and helping delay disease recurrence, aligning with current trends in oncology drug development.” said Professor Lu Shun, the Lead Principal Investigator in China and Director of the Oncology Department at Shanghai Chest Hospital.“The enrollment of the first patient with EVM14 in the United States marks an important achievement in advancing the global clinical development of our in-house mRNA platform.” said Rogers Yongging Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. “This progress demonstrates Everest's continued efforts to translate technological innovation into clinical practice and our first move advantage in developing next-generation immuno-oncology therapies, including therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccines. EVM14 is Everest's first therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine to achieve IND approvals in both China and the U.S. The large patient population faces limited options with existing standard-of-care therapies, highlighting an unmet medical need. As a TAA cancer vaccine, EVM14's unique mechanism offers the potential to complement current treatments by enhancing the efficacy via combination therapies and helping delay disease recurrence, offering hope for long-term cancer-free survival. With EVM14 receiving IND approval from China's NMPA, we look forward to this innovative therapy demonstrating promising therapeutic potential in global multicenter clinical trials, bringing more treatment options to patients worldwide and enhance their quality of life.”Everest Medicines' Jiashan manufacturing site released the first GMP clinical trial batch in June 2025. This batch will support the clinical trials of EVM14 in both China and the United States. The clinical centers involved include NEXT Oncology Virginia, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the U.S., and Shanghai Chest Hospital in China.Leveraging the company's industry-leading mRNA therapeutic cancer vaccine platform and mRNA in vivo CAR-T platform, it is building a globally competitive R&D pipeline. EVM18, the in vivo CAR-T program, has completed multiple non-human primates (NHPs) trials and achieved preclinical proof-of-concept, with first-in-human data expected to initiate by the end of 2025. EVM16, the personalized therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine, has initiated its first-in-human trial in China, with patient dosing completed. In the investigator-initiated trial (IIT), dose escalation in the low- and mid-dose cohorts has been completed, with encouraging preliminary data observed. EVM15, the immune-modulatory cancer vaccine, has completed preclinical proof of concept and identified its clinical candidate.Looking ahead, Everest Medicines will continue to deepen its “dual-engine” strategy, maintaining a strong focus on advancing innovative drug discovery and development to drive sustainable growth and global expansion. The Company remains committed to delivering innovative therapies to patients, creating long-term value for shareholders, and driving forward with the vision of becoming a leading global biopharmaceutical company.[1] The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Patriot Critical Minerals Confirms Largest Tungsten Resource in the United States with Filing of SEC S-K 1300 Technical Report

Elko County, Nevada--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 13, 2025) - Patriot Critical Minerals ("Patriot" or the "Company") is proud to announce the completion and filing of a Technical Report Summary ("TRS") under U.S. SEC Regulation S-K 1300 for its 100 %-owned MEGA Tungsten Project in Elko County, Nevada.The filing confirms that Patriot controls the largest tungsten resource ever reported under modern U.S. SEC standards, marking a major milestone in the nation's effort to restore control over its critical-mineral supply chains.Prepared by SRK Consulting (U.S.) Inc., the report defines an Inferred Mineral Resource of 21.8 million short tons grading 0.18 % WO₃, containing approximately 78.7 million pounds of tungsten trioxide (WO₃).This achievement establishes Patriot's MEGA Project as a front-runner in the resurgence of American tungsten production.MEGA Project - SK-1300 ReportA Strategic Asset for a New Industrial Era"The MEGA Project represents a turning point for America's critical-mineral independence," said Anthony Paterson, President of Patriot Critical Minerals. "This is one of the most advanced and significant tungsten projects in the Western Hemisphere — and as we move toward Pre-Feasibility and production, we're proving that large-scale, U.S.-based projects can once again compete globally. But to secure that future, the government needs to move with the same urgency the market demands. If we want American metals for American industry, the time to act is now."CEO Brodie Sutherland added, "With more than 85 % of U.S. tungsten currently imported, Patriot's Nevada asset offers a direct pathway to reshoring a metal vital for defense, aerospace, semiconductors, and clean-energy technologies."Investment Highlights:Largest SEC-Compliant Tungsten Resource in the United States - 21.8 M short tons @ 0.18 % WO₃ (~78.7 M lbs contained)Tier-1 Mining Jurisdiction - Road access, grid power, and an experienced Nevada workforceOpen-Pit, Near-Surface Potential - Shallow geometry supports rapid, low-cost advancementNational Security Alignment - Tungsten is a designated critical mineral under the Defense Production ActAdvancing Toward PFS and Production - Engineering, permitting, and federal-program engagement now underwayQualified PersonsBrodie Sutherland, P.Geo, is a "Qualified Person" as such term is defined under National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and has reviewed and approved the technical aspects of this news release.

Potential inaccuracies or biases (which could result from issues in historical methods) have been accounted for in a variety of ways, and any latent uncertainty has been incorporated as a factor in the resource classification. Demonstration of the accuracy of these legacy data remains an opportunity.Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis news release contains forward‐looking statements and forward‐looking information (collectively, "forward‐looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian legislation. Forward‐looking statements are typically identified by words such as: "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "estimates", "plans", "may", "should", "would", "will", "potential", "scheduled" or variations of such words and phrases and similar expressions, which, by their nature, refer to future events or results that may, could, would, might or will occur or be taken or achieved.All statements in this news release that are not purely historical are forward‐looking statements and include statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations and orientations regarding the future. Specifically, the forward-looking statements include: that the MEGA tungsten project has geological potential and will reach production; that the mineral resource estimates on the MEGA tungsten project will be realized; that Patriot is uniquely positioned to become one of the only tungsten producers in the United States; Patriot's positioning to deliver a secure, domestic source of tungsten; the strategic value of tungsten to the United States; the market prospects and price stability of tungsten; the Company's plans to advance the MEGA tungsten project, including filing a NI 43-101 technical report and engaging with the U.S. government to align development timelines with critical mineral funding programs, stockpiling strategies, and defense procurement priorities; the Company's planned position to be a supplier of choice in the tungsten market; and the Company's vision to become the go-to name for tungsten. Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable and reflect expectations of future developments and other factors which management believes to be reasonable and relevant, the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. In making the forward‐looking statements in this news release, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including without limitation, that market fundamentals will support the viability of critical mineral resource exploration, the availability of the financing required for the Company to carry out its planned future activities, the availability of and the ability to retain and attract qualified personnel, and the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. Other factors may also adversely affect the future results or performance of the Company, including general economic, market or business conditions, future prices of minerals, changes in the financial markets and in the demand for minerals, changes in laws, regulations and policies affecting the mineral exploration industry, as well as additional risks that cannot be anticipated at this time. Ongoing labor shortages, inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, the global financial and geopolitical climate, and the conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine and surrounding regions are some additional factors that are affecting current economic conditions and increasing economic uncertainty, which may impact the Company's operating performance, financial position, and future prospects. Collectively, the potential impacts of this economic environment pose risks that are currently indescribable and immeasurable. No assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward‐looking statements will occur or, if they do occur, what benefits the Company will obtain from them. Readers are cautioned that forward‐looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and, accordingly, are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward‐looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty of such statements. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update such forward‐looking information whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by applicable law.To view the source version of this press release, please visit https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/270133 Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

中旅國際建議實物分派旅遊地產業務 退出虧損業務 提高整體盈利能力 ACN Newswire

中旅國際建議實物分派旅遊地產業務 退出虧損業務 提高整體盈利能力

香港, 2025年10月12日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 香港中旅國際投資有限公司(「中旅國際」或「公司」,連同其附屬公司統稱「集團」)(股份代號:308)发布公告,宣佈建議向股東實施建議分派。據此,中旅國際將旅遊地產業務進行內部重組,使該業務由私人公司持有,並透過實物分派私人公司股份將旅遊地產業務從集團分拆。集團此舉將能夠將不再從事虧損的旅遊地產業務,簡化營運,並在核心業務部署更多資源,以改善集團整體盈利能力及前景。基於建議分派,實物分派應按每股股份對應一股私人公司股份的基準實施;及根據現金替代應就選擇現金的股東持有的每一股股份支付0.336港元現金代價,該金額約佔公告日期前最後一個交易日聯交所所報每股股份收市價1.53港元的22%。根據建議分派,股東可選擇:根據其於記錄日期在中旅國際的持股比例收取私人公司股份;或收取現金替代(若股東選擇不接受及獲取私人公司股份;根據適用法律和法規無法或不被允許持有私人公司股份,及/或未有回應選擇、接受及獲取私人公司股份的相關請求)。倘建議分派在股東特別大會上經股東批准,如有任何股東不希望參與建議分派,可在股份有權參與建議分派的最後一個交易日(預期為二零二五年十一月十七日(星期一),具體時間根據載於通函內的最終時間表而定)或之前出售股份。於建議分派完成後,私人公司將不再為中旅國際附屬公司,並將由控股股東及選擇實物分派的股東透過持有私人公司股份而持有,中旅國際將繼續經營保留業務,而股份將繼續於聯交所上市。中旅國際董事認為建議分派符合公司及股東的最佳利益。原因包括:(i) 旅遊地產業務於截至二零二五年六月三十日止六個月內持續表現欠佳。管理層預期,旅遊地產業務的未來盈利能力存在若干不確定因素。物業開發屬資本密集型業務,具有固有的周期性風險。透過建議分派,集團旨在降低整體債務水平,並盡量減少對波動性地產市場的風險;(ii)建議分派將使集團精簡其營運,且可集中資源於旅遊景區及其它具較高增長潛力且有助集團長遠實現更佳盈利能力的業務;(iii)旅遊景區業務較高的利潤率被當前旅遊地產業務較低的利潤率攤薄,導致投資者難以單獨評估旅遊景區業務的價值。於建議分派後,集團將專注於配置更多資源及著重發展保留業務;及(iv)建議分派可為股東提選擇權。由於私人公司將為私營公司,故亦將提供現金替代,此舉可為不願持有私營公司股份的股東提供流動性及靈活性。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

The top 100 finalists will be invited to Moscow for a week-long summit featuring workshops, networking sessions, and presentations to international organizations.The Open Dialogue project represents part of a growing trend of international platforms seeking to engage younger generations in addressing global challenges through collaborative approaches. Similar initiatives have emerged in recent years, including the World Economic Forum's Global Shapers Community and various United Nations youth engagement programs.Oreshkin noted that the most promising proposals would receive support for pilot implementation through partnerships with development organizations and private sector sponsors. "We're not just collecting ideas - we're building pathways to turn visionary concepts into tangible solutions," he stated.The contest accepts submissions through March 31, 2026, with preliminary results announced in May. Final presentations and awards ceremony are scheduled for October 2026 in Moscow, coinciding with an international economic development conference.Registration and submission guidelines are available in multiple languages on the Open Dialogue platform's website. Organizers confirmed that all broadcasts and recordings of related events, including preparatory webinars and the final ceremony, will be available through the project's social networks and digital channels.The initiative has garnered support from international academic institutions, youth organizations, and economic development agencies seeking fresh perspectives on persistent global challenges.Social LinksTelegram: https://t.me/gowithrussiaVK: https://vk.com/gowithrussiaOK: https://ok.ru/gowithrussiaDZen: https://dzen.ru/gowithrussiaContact for the mediaBrand: Russia National CentreContact: Media teamWebsite: https://russia.ruEssay Submission: https://dialog.russia.ru/en/ Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

繼北京之後 首程控股機器人體驗店落地成都核心商圈 全國化佈局啟動 C端場景加速落地

香港, 2025年10月11日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 2025年10月,首程控股(0697.HK)在機器人業務板塊迎來又一關鍵節點--繼北京首鋼園"陶朱新造局"(暫定名)機器人科技體驗店火爆出圈後,公司正式將該品牌落地成都春熙路核心商圈。作為全國化佈局的標誌性事件,此次西南首店的開業,不僅意味著首程控股機器人C端戰略進入擴張期,也標誌著其在"產業鏈投資-消費場景落地"閉環模式上的加速兌現。一、從北京到成都:全國化佈局全面啟動今年國慶期間,首程控股旗下機器人科技體驗品牌"陶朱新造局"(暫定名)於北京融石廣場(R+生活中心)首店亮相,日均客流超3,000人次、銷售額達數萬元(數據來源:北京日報)。該體驗店作為全國首個常態化運營的機器人消費場景門店,匯聚宇樹科技、松延動力、銀河通用、加速進化等多家被投企業的200餘款產品,涵蓋家庭陪伴、教育娛樂、醫療康養、運動娛樂等多元生活場景,讓公眾從"看得見"到"摸得著",再到"帶得走",真切感受科技走進生活的過程。緊隨北京首店之後,首程控股於10月7日至15日期間攜"陶朱新造局"重磅入駐成都春熙路商圈,開設西南首店並同步參與"IAMHERE·春熙智造驅動未來"機器人沉浸式互動體驗展,集中展出20餘件前沿產品,涵蓋人形機器人、AI基礎模型、智慧感知與教育科技等領域。春熙路作為西南地區最具影響力的商業地標,年客流量超2億人次,是品牌"首發、首店、首秀"的首選平台。成都市錦江區相關負責人在接受採訪時表示:"首程控股此次選擇春熙路開設西南首店,是看中了這裡強大的消費集聚力與首發經濟的輻射效應,這對推動科技產品C端轉化具有示範意義。"二、機器人C端樣本:科技×消費的融合落地在成都春熙路"陶朱新造局"展區,松延動力的人形機器人與仿生機器人、宇樹科技的B2四足機器人與G1人形機器人、奇妙拉比的AI情感機器人"雷格斯"、愛賓果的智慧助教機器人,以及元蘿蔔AI下棋機器人等成為現場焦點。展區內人潮湧動,不少市民駐足體驗,親手操作人形機器人或與智慧寵物互動拍照。"沒想到機器人離生活這麼近,孩子已經在問能不能把這個下棋機器人帶回家。"一位現場觀眾笑著說。據活動主辦方成都興錦商業投資服務公司介紹,僅活動首日,"陶朱新造局"展區入場人數超過1.2萬人次,部分產品現場即實現訂單轉化。這不僅展示了機器人產品的消費潛力,也為科技企業提供了寶貴的使用者反饋數據。業內分析認為,首程控股以線下體驗店為核心的C端模式,正成為"硬科技走進日常"的現實通路。透過"沉浸互動 + 即時購買"的一體化消費體驗,公司正在構建可複製的機器人零售樣本。三、從產業投資到消費落地:構建B2C全鏈條生態首程控股佈局機器人產業並非短期行為。作為中國領先的智慧基礎設施資產服務商,公司管理的"北京機器人產業發展投資基金"規模逾百億元,重點投資具身智能與核心零組件領域。目前,首程控股已投資宇樹科技、松延動力、銀河通用、星海圖、泉智博等多家行業龍頭企業,形成涵蓋上游零組件、中游整機製造、下游應用場景的完整產業鏈佈局。其核心邏輯是:"得早、落得下、轉得快"。投得早:提前鎖定機器人核心賽道企業;落得下:透過實體門店驗證產品;轉得快:以用戶反饋促進產品升級與商業轉化。首程控股負責人在接受採訪時表示:"機器人產業的商業化核心,不僅在於技術突破,更在於場景落地。我們希望藉由體驗店這種C端觸點,將投資項目的技術能力直接轉化為市場感知與消費行為。"四、西南總部落地:產業 + 消費 + 總部經濟值得注意的是,此次"陶朱新造局"西南首店的落地,背後是一整套區域戰略。首程控股已於成都錦江區設立西南首個機器人公司,計畫打造輻射西南地區的機器人區域總部,集展示、銷售、研發與場景孵化於一體。未來,該總部將負責首程控股機器人業務在川渝滇區域的資源整合與招商合作。五、科技成果轉化的中國樣本從北京首鋼園到成都春熙路,從首都機場T3快閃店到西南區域總部,首程控股正以實際行動驗證其"基礎設施托底、科技產業拉升"的戰略邏輯。"我們希望讓機器人不再只是實驗室裡的樣機,而是真正走進日常生活。"首程控股董事會辦公室負責人表示。隨著全國化佈局的推進,首程控股正從"投資者"轉向"運營者",從"資本邏輯"轉向"消費邏輯"。這不僅是公司自身戰略升級的體現,也代表著中國機器人產業從技術突破邁向商業化落地的重要一步。隨著"陶朱新造局"品牌在全國範圍內的快速落地,首程控股近日同步啟動全網徵名活動。公司希望這一承載未來生活想像的空間,能擁有更具親和力、與公眾共鳴的名稱。"'陶朱'取意於春秋名士范蠡,象徵以技術之火鍛造美好生活;'新造局'則代表創新與再造。我們也希望聽到更多來自公眾的聲音。"首程控股機器人科技產業有限公司負責人在接受記者採訪時表示,"機器人時代的消費,不只是企業單向輸出,而是與每一位使用者共創的過程。"即日起至2025年11月1日,公眾可通過首程控股官方微信公眾號留言投稿,為體驗店提出命名建議。最終入選名稱將提交公司股東大會表決並正式啟用。一個名字,不僅是符號,更是連結企業與用戶的情感紐帶。未來一年,"陶朱新造局"將持續於更多核心城市亮相。一個以C端驗證為牽引、以消費場景驅動產業創新的機器人新生態,正在首程控股的實踐中逐步成形。Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

After Beijing, Shoucheng Holdings Opens Robot Experience Store in Chengdu’s Core Business District, National Rollout Begins as Consumer-Facing Scenarios Accelerate ACN Newswire

After Beijing, Shoucheng Holdings Opens Robot Experience Store in Chengdu’s Core Business District, National Rollout Begins as Consumer-Facing Scenarios Accelerate

HONG KONG, Oct 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – In October 2025, Shoucheng Holdings Limited (0697.HK) reached another key milestone in its robotics business. Following the viral success of its first “Taozhu New Creation Bureau” (provisional name) Robot Experience Store at Beijing Shougang Park, the company has officially brought the brand to Chengdu’s Chunxi Road, one of China’s most prominent retail landmarks.This marks the start of Shoucheng’s national expansion in consumer robotics and the acceleration of its “Industrial Investment–Consumer Scenario Integration” model.I. From Beijing to Chengdu: Nationwide Expansion UnderwayDuring the National Day holiday, Shoucheng’s inaugural robot experience brand, “Taozhu New Creation Bureau,” debuted at Beijing’s Rongshi Plaza (R+ Life Center). According to Beijing Daily, the store attracted over 3,000 daily visitors and generated sales in the tens of thousands of yuan. As China’s first long-term operational retail space dedicated to consumer robotics, the store showcases over 200 products from portfolio companies such as Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, Galbot and Booster Robotics. Covering categories from home companionship and education to healthcare and entertainment, the store allows the public to see, touch, and purchase robotic products—bringing “future technology” into everyday life.Building on that success, from October 7 to 15, Shoucheng brought “Taozhu New Creation Bureau” to Chengdu Chunxi Road, opening its first store in Southwest China while participating in the IAMHERE·Chunxi Future Robotics Interactive Exhibition.The exhibition featured more than 20 cutting-edge robotic products, spanning humanoid robots, AI foundational models, intelligent perception systems, and educational technologies.Chunxi Road, with annual foot traffic exceeding 200 million visitors, is widely recognized as the premier destination for brand debuts in Western China.A representative from Chengdu’s Jinjiang District commented, “Shoucheng’s decision to open its first Southwest store here reflects confidence in Chunxi Road’s consumption power and its influence on ‘first-launch’ brands. This will serve as a benchmark for the commercialization of tech products in China.”II. Consumer Robotics in Action: The Integration of Technology and LifestyleAt the Chengdu “Taozhu New Creation Bureau” exhibition area, humanoid and bionic robots from Songyan Dynamics, the Unitree B2 quadruped and G1 humanoid robots, AI companion robot Regis by Qimiao Labi, educational assistant robots by Aibingo, and AI chess-playing robots by SenseRobot drew significant public attention.Visitors gathered to interact with robots, take photos, and even place purchase inquiries.One attendee remarked, “I didn’t realize robots were already this close to daily life—my child’s been begging to take the chess robot home.”According to Chengdu Xingjin Commercial Investment Service Co., the exhibition drew over 12,000 visitors on the opening day, with several products achieving on-site sales conversions.Beyond its retail success, the event provided real-time consumer feedback, offering valuable insights for robotic product iteration and market readiness.Industry analysts note that Shoucheng’s experience-store-driven C-end model is becoming a practical path for bringing hard technology into everyday consumption. By combining immersive interaction with instant purchasing, Shoucheng is building a replicable template for retailing intelligent robots in China.III. From Industrial Investment to Consumer Application: Building a Full B2C EcosystemShoucheng’s presence in the robotics industry is not a short-term experiment.As one of China’s leading intelligent infrastructure asset operators, the company manages the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund, with assets exceeding RMB 10 billion (approx. USD 1.4 billion), focusing on embodied intelligence and core component technologies.The company has invested in leading players including Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, Galbot, Galaxea, and Quanzhi Intelligence, establishing a complete value chain spanning upstream components, midstream manufacturing, and downstream applications.Its strategic logic follows a “Invest Early – Land Fast – Scale Quickly” model: Invest Early: Secure stakes in key robotics companies at early stages. Land Fast: Validate commercial readiness through real-world retail channels. Scale Quickly: Leverage user data to accelerate iteration and commercialization.A Shoucheng representative explained, “Commercial success in robotics depends not only on breakthroughs in technology but on real-world application. Through experience stores, we aim to bridge our investment portfolio with consumer behavior, turning advanced robotics into tangible lifestyle products.”IV. Southwest Headquarters: Integrating Industry, Consumption, and Regional EconomyBehind the Chengdu launch lies a broader regional strategy.Shoucheng has established its first Southwest regional robotics subsidiary in Chengdu’s Jinjiang District, which will serve as a regional headquarters integrating exhibition, retail, R&D, and scenario incubation functions. This hub will coordinate Shoucheng’s robotics operations, partnerships, and resource integration across the Sichuan–Chongqing–Yunnan economic region.V. A Chinese Model for Technology CommercializationFrom Beijing Shougang Park to Chengdu Chunxi Road, and from Beijing Capital Airport’s T3 pop-up store to its expanding regional headquarters, Shoucheng is translating its “Infrastructure Backbone + Technology Engine” strategy into practice.As a spokesperson from Shoucheng’s Board Office stated, “We want robots to move beyond laboratories and exhibitions—to become part of people’s daily lives.”Through this nationwide rollout, Shoucheng is evolving from investor to operator, and from a capital-driven enterprise to a consumer-driven innovator.This transition not only underscores the company’s strategic upgrade but also reflects a broader industry shift in China’s robotics sector—from technological breakthroughs to large-scale commercialization.As the “Taozhu New Creation Bureau” brand expands nationwide, Shoucheng has also launched a public naming campaign across its digital platforms.The company invites the public to propose alternative names that better capture the space’s vision of “bringing the future home.”The current name, “Taozhu,” references Fan Li, an ancient Chinese philosopher and statesman known for his wisdom and craftsmanship, symbolizing the fusion of technology and artistry. “New Creation Bureau” represents innovation and reinvention.However, the company hopes to involve the public in co-creating a name that resonates emotionally.According to Shoucheng Robotics Industry Co., “The future of robotic consumption is not a one-way narrative from companies to users—it’s a collaborative process of co-creation.”Submissions are open until November 1, 2025, via the company’s official WeChat account. The winning name will be presented at Shoucheng’s shareholders’ meeting for final approval and adoption.As the company emphasizes, “A name is not just a symbol—it’s the emotional bridge between enterprise and user.Over the coming year, “Taozhu New Creation Bureau” will continue to expand across China’s major cities, establishing a new consumer-driven innovation ecosystem where real-world retail experiences fuel industrial progress.Through its dual-engine model of investment + operation, Shoucheng Holdings is steadily building what could become China’s most comprehensive robotics commercialization platform.Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
