HONG KONG, July 16, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong's cultural and creative industries have welcomed a new wave of talent. Organized by the Innovative Entrepreneur Association (“IEA”) and sponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (“CCIDA”), the Hong Kong Picture Book Publishing Support Programme (“HKPSP” or the “Programme”) has successfully nurtured eight local illustrators to create internationally appealing silent books through a rigorous selection process. These works previously debuted at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair and the Beijing International Book Fair, where they garnered widespread attention. This week, they will be presented to local readers at the Hong Kong Book Fair 2025. Subsequently, the works will be displayed at other major international book fairs, marking the official entry of Hong Kong picture books onto the global stage and showcasing the city’s creative and cultural prowess to the international publishing community.Picture books are a key growth driver for the global publishing industry. Through a combination of simple text and illustrations, they can effectively enhance children's language skills, a benefit that is widely recognized. Visual storytelling and interpretation also aid in children's cognitive development. Additionally, picture books stimulate observation, creativity, and emotional understanding and serve as excellent educational tools. They provide opportunities for parents and children to bond through shared reading. Outstanding picture books transcend age barriers and are beloved by readers of all ages.With sponsorship from the CCIDA, the IEA launched the HKPSP to provide comprehensive support to local illustrators and publishers. The Programme encourages the creation and publication of high-quality picture books, both with and without text.

Illustrators – Hong Kong Picture Book Illustrators International Book Fair Promotion Programme" are as follows:1. Keung (Keung Chi Kit), a popular Hong Kong children's comic artist. His book Life of a Painting tells the story of how the value and meaning of a canvas changes in the hands of different people, illustrating that the worth of an object depends on the perception of its owner.2. Amy Chai, a Hong Kong illustrator, whose work The Perfect Journey of Lily the Butterfly conveys the importance of cherishing the present and enjoying every beautiful experience.3.

With the generous support of the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency, we have been able to help eight exceptionally creative illustrators transform their ideas into internationally competitive works. Each creator uses the unique medium of silent books to break language barriers and tell universal stories through visual language. These works not only showcase the social awareness of Hong Kong artists, but also demonstrate the potential of local creations to captivate global audiences. We hope to leverage platforms such as book fair workshops to allow more parents and children to experience the charm of Hong Kong picture books firsthand, while actively expanding our overseas distribution networks to showcase Hong Kong’s creative power to the world. In the future, the Programme will continue to discover new talent, support local creations, and establish picture books as a new cultural export of Hong Kong."Ms. Cherrie Chong, President of the Innovative Entrepreneur Association (fifth from the left, back row), is meeting the public along with illustrators selected for the "Go!

Introduction: Accelerating progress in virtual asset management business in games and global expansion layout.HONG KONG, July 14, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Recently, Spruce Technology HK Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kingnet, was officially granted Type 4 (advising on securities) and Type 9 (asset management) licenses by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) in Hong Kong.A previous similar event that attracted widespread attention in Chinese mainland occurred in December last year, when Zhang Yiming, co-founder of ByteDance, acquired a Hong Kong Type 9 license through a subsidiary "Cool River Venture HK Limited".Geographically, Hong Kong is expediting the process to become a global Web3.0 hub. For Kingnet, which is in an accelerated phase of gaming business globalization while aggressively deploying cutting-edge sectors such as metaverse and Web3.0, these two licenses will serve as pivotal fulcrum for its ecological upgrading: the company can not only attract more international partners to jointly develop AI-driven game development tools and PUGC platforms, but also carry out virtual asset generation in games, trading, and asset management businesses in full regulatory compliance, thereby bridging the "creativity-assets-finance" loop to build a trustable global digital economic ecosystem.License Is Not the DestinationForge A More Imaginative "Virtual Asset Manager In Games" Kingnet has long been actively exploring the deep integration of cutting-edge technologies and capital operations in emerging fields such as Web3.0 and metaverse. As early as 2023, Kingnet disclosed that it could support product integration with Web3.0 from a technical framework perspective, and would maintain sustained attention to the evolution of Web3.0 technologies.Additionally, Kingnet has proactively established a digital asset platform called "KINGNET CHAIN", dedicated to aggregating diverse creators and gaming brands through blockchain technology in conjunction with Web3.0, metaverse and artificial intelligence to construct a digital art marketing system, establish digital brand IDs, and create a rich and diversified metaverse content ecosystem. Up to now, "KINGNET CHAIN" has released multiple original IPs and brand collaboration digital artworks. By employing a sales model that integrates "digital assets with real economy", it promotes a deep convergence between digital economy and real economy.On the opening day of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Olympic-themed digital assets series featuring Kingnet's mascot "K Xiao Huang" was exclusively launched in limited quantities on the "KINGNET CHAIN", with the customized interactive digital asset mini-game "Olympic 'Huang' Family Supporters" simultaneously released. Users can earn exclusive and unique digital asset rewards through gameplay participation, and these digital assets will be intrinsically linked to platform privileges to pioneer a new pathway for the mass adoption and application of the digital assets.According to market data, "KINGNET CHAIN" has reached a milestone of nearly 200,000 identity-authenticated registered users. In the future, it can assist global market-oriented manufacturers in achieving overseas game digital asset distribution, form a dual-track model of "domestic regulatory-compliant distribution + multi-chain overseas circulation", and provide a one-stop solution spanning from technical infrastructure to trading scenarios for globalization of gaming assets.Prior to Kingnet's entry, representative overseas gaming companies had already validated the feasibility of this approach by obtaining financial licenses for layout of the virtual asset management business: Hong Kong's Web3 frontrunner Animoca Brands constructed a full-chain management system encompassing metaverse asset distribution and trading by acquiring relevant compliance qualifications. Mythical Games, founded by the former Activision Blizzard core team, has also established itself as a benchmark in the field of blockchain gaming for establishing closed-loop virtual asset value circulation through licensed compliance by implementing secure player asset ownership and trading leveraging the "invisible blockchain technology" under a compliant framework in flagship titles like Blankos Block Party.With the acquisition of Type 4 and Type 9 licenses, Kingnet may further broaden its business boundaries in relevant fields such as virtual social interaction and blockchain gaming. By generating assets through gaming behaviors and activating assets via financial licenses, the company is forming a closed-loop ecosystem, thereby evolving into a "More Imaginative Kingnet".Based on Existing Overseas Layout ExperienceBuild an Open and Credible Global PUGC PlatformFrom another perspective, Kingnet's globalization strategy had demonstrated tangible results even prior to acquiring SFC Type 4 and Type 9 licenses in Hong Kong.From the product side, the company has proactively seized overseas market opportunities, proactively deployed global distribution, targeted the global market, established in-depth partnerships with numerous overseas channels, and achieved remarkable results in overseas market expansion. It is understood that newly launched games in 2025, including MU Immortal, Party Beasts, etc., have topped overseas gaming charts immediately upon release, demonstrating formidable growth potential.The sequential launch of multiple new products is expected to further improve Kingnet's product matrix and gradually form differentiated competitiveness, thereby further expanding its market share and driving tiered user base growth. As reflected in its performance, Kingnet's overseas revenue reached RMB 375 million in 2024, achieving a year-on-year growth of up to 221.48%.To support these ambitions, Kingnet has launched Kingnet AI , an AI-Web3 game collaboration platform developed by SmileCobra Studio , a Singapore-based Web3 gaming studio and Kingnet’s exclusive strategic partner. Kingnet AI features a visual, no-code AI creation engine that allows developers and creators to build blockchain-based games from scratch, automate content generation, and deploy multi-chain assets seamlessly. Kingnet AI has already established strategic partnerships with TON, Solana,BNB Chain, and Alibaba Cloud.Combined with a series of actions of the company in game globalization, proprietary AI-powered development platform, etc., it can be speculated that the company will or may also create an AI-powered end-to-end game development toolkit and a PUGC player user platform overseas. The overseas user platform will target player communities by delivering AI-powered gaming products with diversified gameplay mechanics and innovative contents. With dual SFC financial licenses, the platform provides virtual economy systems where overseas developers can autonomously generate in-game tokens through the platform's system or games on the platform to assist game developers in refining the economic systems.From this perspective, Kingnet is hopeful to build a truly open and credible global PUGC platform and empower innovations in digital contents and economic systems based on its experience accumulated in overseas game operation & distribution over the past period and a deeper understanding of Web3.0 innovation models in overseas markets.
