HONG KONG, Sept 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Direct Drive Tech Limited (the “Company”) launched its public offering on September 21 and is seeking a Main Board listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under Chapter 18C of the Listing Rules. Once the offering closes, the Company will become the “first direct-drive stock” in Hong Kong — and the first robotics technology company in global capital markets defined primarily by direct-drive technology. The market isn’t just watching a single listing; it may be watching an industry inflection point, as robot drive solutions shift from traditional reducers toward direct drive — a transition one young team is betting on to upend the established landscape.According to public records, founder Zhang Di earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Beijing Institute of Technology in 2016 before moving to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where he studied robotics systems and control engineering under Professor Li Zexiang — widely known as the “godfather of DJI.” His engineering instincts showed early: while at HKUST, he reportedly designed on his own a robot capable of standing both upright and upside down, and sold it to a research institution. Zhang has served as chairman and chief executive since March 2020, overseeing the Group’s overall management, strategic planning, and business decisions.Zhang founded the Company in 2020 at XbotPark, a robotics incubator in Songshan Lake, Dongguan. The Songshan Lake Robotics Research Institute, controlled by Professor Li, invested at the seed round, when the post-money valuation stood at just a few million renminbi; by the final round before the IPO, the valuation had climbed substantially. Now 32, Zhang has been named to both the Forbes China 30 Under 30 and the Hurun China Under 30 lists.Conventional robot drives pair a motor with a reducer: gears step down rotational speed and multiply torque, which suits high-load, high-impact duty. But every meshing gear introduces backlash and friction — heat, wear, and maintenance costs. Every multi-stage transmission adds response lag, energy loss, and precision drift. These are not process defects; they are structural limits baked into the gear-transmission path. And every reducer weakness maps to a direct-drive strength. As embodied intelligence begins demanding millisecond response, zero backlash, lower energy consumption, and longer service life, reducer-based solutions have hit a ceiling that iteration cannot break. This is not an upgrade; it is substitution.Since its founding, the Company has stayed on the direct-drive path, building its moat on three core technology pillars. By coupling the motor directly to the payload, its solution eliminates reducers and every intermediate transmission component. According to the prospectus, this cuts efficiency losses from mechanical transmission while improving precision, lowering noise, and reducing component wear — and it paves the way for smaller, lighter robots. This is no localized tweak to an existing design; it is a rebuild of the power-transmission path itself. The Company has built core capabilities around direct-drive motor design, thermal management, and drive-control integration — system-level know-how spanning electromagnetic design, control algorithms, and mass production. Zero backlash, zero friction, millisecond response: capabilities conventional solutions structurally cannot deliver are, in principle, within reach through direct drive. Iterating on the old technology cannot close that gap.The financials tell more than a revenue story — they trace how direct drive moved from technical validation to commercialization at scale. From 2023 to 2025, revenue rose from RMB17.5 million to RMB281.7 million, a 300.8% CAGR, as shipments of direct-drive actuator modules climbed from 0.2 million to 8.5 million units. Gross margin improved from 13.5% to 21.5%, reaching 20.7% in the first half of 2026, while the adjusted net loss margin narrowed from 349.1% to 15.4% — 13.7% in the first half of 2026. This is scale economics kicking in: a larger revenue base absorbing fixed costs, not R&D cuts, is what has narrowed the losses. It is not just one company’s growth curve; it is a substitution curve, a technology pathway moving from the margins toward the mainstream.Valuation is where Chapter 18C really matters. The Specialist Technology Company regime lets the market assess high-growth hard-tech companies on R&D capabilities, patent reserves, commercialization track record, commercialization revenue, and downstream customer validation — not net profit alone. That framework fits a company trying to change an industry’s underlying technology pathway. Traditional valuation systems revolve around net profit, and they struggle to price a technology like direct drive that is redrawing a century-old industry. Chapter 18C lets the market price “technology substitution” rather than short-term profitability.The technology pathway for global robot drives is still being written, but direct drive displacing reducers is getting harder to ignore. As the “first direct-drive stock,” the Company’s scarcity value lies in using direct drive to redraw the boundaries of the robot actuation market — giving investors a window into the rise of power hardware for physical AI. Direct-drive penetration in consumer robotics remains low, and the shift away from reducer-based solutions is still in its early days; the market has yet to fully price the trend. As direct drive finds its way into more applications, that revaluation has only just begun. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com. All rights reserved. www.acnnewswire.com

Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Sept 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of eight new drill holes recently completed at its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. The eight holes form part of two clusters of drill holes based on pilot holes and wedge branches that are serving to delineate an important system of high-grade mineralization in multiple quartz-sulphide-gold veins over a now 1,000-metre vertical interval beneath the former O'Brien Gold Mine. These results are the latest from the Company's ongoing 140,000-metre step-out drill program designed to test the full scope of gold mineralization at the Project.All eight drill holes reported today returned significant gold mineralization. Highlights (Figure 1 and Table 1) include:OB-26-385W5 intersected 68.24 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 6.20 metres (core lengths) including 384.01 g/t Au over 1.0 metre and including 28.68 g/t Au over 1.0 metre (residual intercept grade of 2.48 g/t Au);OB-26-385W8 intersected 27.27 g/t Au over 3.3 metres including 72.40 g/t Au over 1.2 metres (residual intercept grade of 1.49 g/t Au), and 3.90 g/t Au over 9.3 metres including 6.10 g/t Au over 2.0 metres and including 5.78 g/t Au over 1.2 metres (residual intercept grade of 2.81 g/t Au), and 8.35 g/t Au over 4.0 metres including 16.10 g/t Au over 1.5 metres (residual intercept grade of 3.7 g/t Au);OB-25-378W4 intersected 8.14 g/t Au over 5.50 metres including 11.52 g/t Au over 3.70 metres (residual intercept grade of 1.19 g/t Au);OB-26-385W7 intersected 18.13 g/t Au over 2.0 metres including 34.91 g/t Au over 1.0 metre (residual intercept grade of 1.35 g/t Au); andOB-25-378W5 intersected 3.90 g/t Au over 9.3 metres including 16.84 g/t Au over 1.4 metres (residual intercept grade of 1.60 g/t Au) and 4.00 g/t Au over 4.60 metres.Matt Manson, President and CEO: "Since the beginning of our deep step-out drilling program at O'Brien in late 2024, we have enjoyed consistent success in expanding the scope of mineralization beyond the former mine and the historical mineral resources. Of the 128 drill holes completed during this period,106 have returned drill intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with our mineral resources. This is an impressive 83% "hit" rate (Table 2), and we report every hole completed. We continue to see a consistent pattern of high-grade quartz-sulphide-gold veins within broader, mineralized alteration halos. These mineralized zones form parallel vein packages within the host Piché Group rocks, with good continuity across adjacent drill holes and over significant distances. The two clusters of new drill results reported today are delineating the important "O'Brien Mine East" trend at its top, immediately below the former mine workings, and extending it downwards at up to 2 kilometres vertical depth. In our reporting of drill results, as with today's news, we show the grade of the full interval across the mineralized zone (in core lengths at a 1 g/t Au bottom cut-off) and the "including" interval representing the high-grade quartz-sulphide-gold vein within the zone. The intercept's residual grade, which represents grade in the alteration halo, is typically between 1 g/t Au and 4 g/t Au. These patterns are all demonstrated reliably in today's results. O'Brien is clearly a large scale and increasingly predictable gold mineralizing system. Drilling is ongoing with eight rigs active at the Project."Figure 1: Longitudinal Vertical Section and Plan View of Gold Vein Mineralization and Mineral Resources at the O'Brien Gold Project, with Today's Drill Holes IllustratedTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_f60ab4e7747e2ba4_001full.jpgGold Mineralization at O'BrienGold mineralizing quartz-sulphide veins at O'Brien occur within a thin band of interlayered mafic volcanic rocks, conglomerates, and porphyritic andesitic sills of the Piché Group occurring in contact with the east-west oriented Larder Lake-Cadillac Break ("LLCB"). Gold, along with pyrite and arsenopyrite, is typically associated with shearing and a pervasive biotite alteration, and developed within multiple Piché Group lithologies and, occasionally, the hanging-wall Pontiac and footwall Cadillac meta-sedimentary rocks.As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in thickness and are associated with broader, mineralized alteration envelopes. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. Individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with steeply plunging grade shoots developed over significant lengths. The historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold from such veins and shoots at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au and over a vertical extent of at least 1,000 metres. Modern exploration has focussed on delineating well-developed vein mineralization below and to the east of the historic mine. Based on the historic data available, it is clear that the former mine was "high-graded", with mining focused on a main central stope and parallel veins identified but left undeveloped.Figure 2: Visible gold in OB-26-385W5 yielding 384.01 g/t Au over 1.0 metre between 1,514.2 metres and 1,515.2 metres, within a broader intercept averaging 68.24 g/t Au over 6.2 Metres between 1,511 metres and 1,517.2 metresTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissonenfiguretwo.jpgTable 1: Assay Results Calculated at a 3 g/t Au Bottom Cut-Off from Drill Holes Published TodayTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissontableone.jpgNotes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts:The O'Brien Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate effective January 31, 2026 utilizes a 2.20 g/t Au bottom cut-off, a US$2,500 gold price, a minimum mining width of 1.2 metres, and a 60 g/t Au upper cap on individual assays. Intercepts presented in Table 1 are calculated with a 3.00 g/t Au bottom cut-off. Sample grades are uncapped. True widths, based on depth of intercept and drill hole inclination, are estimated to be 30-80% of core length. Table 3 presents additional drill intercepts calculated with a 1.00 g/t Au bottom cut-off over a minimum 1.0 metre core length so as to illustrate the frequency and continuity of mineralized intervals within which high-grade gold veins at O'Brien are developed. Lithology Codes: PON-S3: Pontiac Sediments; V3-S, V3-N, V3-CEN: Basalt-South, North, Central; S1P, S3P: Conglomerate and Greywackes; POR-S, POR-N: Porphyry South, North; TX: Crystal Tuff; ZFLLC: Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault Zone.Step-Out Drilling at O'BrienSince the end of 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-outs beneath the historic O'Brien Gold mine and the existing mineral resources designed to test the extent of gold mineralization at the Project. This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency and minimize costs. In October 2025, Radisson announced the expansion of the step-out drill program to 140,000 metres employing eight drill rigs (see Radisson news release dated October 16, 2025).The origin of the step-out drill program was the deep pilot hole OB-24-337, which was the first exploration drill hole located below the former mine workings since mining ended in 1957. This hole intersected 31.24 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, including 242.0 g/t Au over 1.0 m at approximately 1,500 metres vertical depth (see Radisson news release dated December 16, 2024). Fifteen wedge branches were completed from OB-24-337 delineating up to eight gold-bearing veins over a 250-metre by 700-metre area in what is referred to as "O'Brien Mine East" (see Radisson news release dated February 12, 2026). In March 2026, Radisson published an interim update in the Project's mineral resources, showing meaningful growth based on the on-going drilling (see Radisson news release dated March 2, 2026).The focus of the step-out drill program has been the extension of mineralization at depth, with an exploration floor of 2 kilometres depth, and recently announced plans to extend this drilling to 2.5 kilometres depth (see Radisson news release dated May 28, 2026). Given the character of neighbouring gold deposits and the wealth of mining infrastructure within or close to the O'Brien Gold Project, Radisson believes that significant exploration potential exists to these depths, and such mineralization might reasonably be expected to be developed. Drilling has recently confirmed the extension of the "Trend 1" zone of mineralization to 1.9 kilometres vertical depth (see Radisson news release dated April 30, 2026).In addition to the progressively deeper drilling, the 140,000-metre program includes targeting of areas within the O'Brien geological model that have not previously been tested and offer the potential for additional mineral resources at shallower depths. Positive drill results have recently been reported from the "Trend 1-Trend 2 Gap" at approximately 500 and 1,000 metres vertical depth, demonstrating continuity of mineralization across what were previously thought to be discrete mineralization trends (see Radisson news release dated June 1, 2026 and September 2, 2026).The eight new drill holes at the Project reported today continue to demonstrate the very high incidence of intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project's mineral resources ("hits", per Table 2). This now stands at 83% of all drill holes completed to date, an impressive result for a step-out drill program specifically targeting non-resource areas (Figure 4). Mineralization remains open in every direction, with clear opportunities to expand the quantity of new mineral resources, in particular by drilling at depth.Figure 3: Vertical Section Through "O'Brien Mine East" with Today's New Drill ResultsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissonfigurethree.jpgFigure 4: Deep Step-Out Drill Holes Completed and/or Published by the Company Since March 2026To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_f60ab4e7747e2ba4_008full.jpgTable 2: Drill Results Published for the O'Brien Gold Project Since December 2024Date of PublicationTotal Number ofDrill HolesDrill Holes withIntercepts >+3g/tSuccessRate (%)September 21, 202688100%September 2, 202666100%July 7, 202633100%June 22, 2026-O'Brien55100%June 22, 2026-Thompson-Cadillac2150%June 1, 20267686%April 30, 2026-O'Brien77100%April 30, 2026-Thompson-Cadillac9222%January 27, 202677100%January 6, 20266583%October 28, 2025151387%September 8, 2025151387%July 16, 2025141179%April 2, 202533100%February 26, 2025201575%December 16, 202411100%Total12810683% Table 3: Detailed Assay Results Calculated at a 1 g/t Au Bottom Cut-Off from Drill Holes Published Today (see "Notes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts")To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissontablethree.jpgTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissontablethreeb.jpgTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissontablethreec.jpgTable 4: Drill Hole Collar Information for Drill Holes Published TodayTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissontablefour.jpgNotes: Hole lengths for wedges represent meterage from point of wedge. Collar position is reported for pilot hole.QA/QCAll drill core in this campaign is NQ in size. Assays were completed on sawn half-core, with the second half retained in the core box for future reference. Geologists mark cut lines on the core perpendicular to the foliation. The half on the right side of the saw blade is bagged for the laboratory and the left half is retained as reference. Sample bags are sealed, placed in rice sacks, plastic-wrapped on pallets, and held in a secure facility until pick-up by the laboratory's dedicated truck.Samples are delivered to MSALABS' analytical laboratory in Val-d'Or, Québec, for preparation and gold analysis. The entire sample is dried and crushed (70% passing a 2-millimetre sieve) and split to 500 g. Gold analysis is performed on an approximately 500 g aliquot (a single jar) using Chrysos PhotonAssay technology. Mineralized zones containing visible gold, plus additional intervals selected at the discretion of the logging geologist, are analyzed to extinction, whereby the entire sample is split into multiple ~500 g jars, each jar is analyzed by PhotonAssay, and the weighted average of the results is used for reporting. A one-metre sample typically requires five jars.Certified reference materials (CRMs), blank samples, and reject duplicates are inserted for quality assurance and quality control. Either a CRM, a blank, or a duplicate is inserted during regular sampling at a rate of 1 per 25 samples, with the insertion rate increased for intervals selected for assay to extinction. Four different CRMs are in use with an appropriate range of certified grades suited for O'Brien mineralization. Jars of CRM material are stored at the laboratory and inserted into the sample stream as directed by Radisson. The CRMs were selected by Radisson in accordance with Chrysos Corporation's best-practice guidelines for PhotonAssay. Blanks consist of commercially obtained crushed quartzite known to be barren of gold. Samples returning results greater than 1 g/t Au are also fire assayed.MSALABS operates under ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, utilizing industry-standard QA/QC frameworks for gold analysis. Through the integration of blanks, duplicates, and CRMs into its workflow, the laboratory adheres to established benchmarks that ensure precise, reliable, and verifiable results.QP DisclosureDisclosure of a scientific or technical nature in this news release was prepared under the supervision of Mr. Richard Nieminen, P.Geo, (QC), a geological consultant for Radisson and a Qualified Person for purposes of NI 43-101.

(GA-ASI) congratulates the U.S. Air Force (USAF) on the pace of progress for its Collaborative Combat Aircraft program, which features the FQ-42 Vengeance designed and produced by GA-ASI. The latest milestone took place Sept. 18, when a new FQ-42 Vengeance was delivered to Creech AFB, Nev., to continue operations with test and evaluation units."The CCA program's rate of progress has been incredible," said Mike Atwood, GA-ASI Vice President of Advanced Programs. "Every week, the Air Force is pushing forward with new and more impressive accomplishments using Vengeance. It's amazing to think of how far this program has come in such a short amount of time."The FQ-42 that arrived at Creech will continue regular test and evaluation operations with the Air Force aimed at experimentation with the new aircraft. Previous efforts with Vengeance and other GA-ASI jets, including XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station and MQ-20 Avenger® - have found the trio of combat jets flying in various scenarios that push the boundaries of combat aviation. GA-ASI's jets have flown semi-autonomously and autonomously with various AI pilots and under collaborative control of human fighter pilots operating F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II jets.FQ-42 Vengeance, a 5th-generation uncrewed fighter with an internal weapons bay and other features designed for low observability and increased survivability, has flown formation flights alongside F-35 and F-15E Strike Eagle in preparation for collaborative control operations with manned aircraft. Those experiments will replicate company demonstrations previously flown by GA-ASI using MQ-20 as a CCA surrogate to advance CCA operations in parallel to the primary U.S. Air Force development program.GA-ASI was selected by USAF in April 2024 to build production-representative flight test articles for the CCA program. FQ-42 Vengeance made its maiden flight in August 2025 and was selected in June 2026 for an initial production contract. GA-ASI has completed a new low-observable paint facility to support CCA production, and the company is currently positioned to deliver six aircraft per month to meet USAF goals, with more manufacturing space available to respond to additional orders.Production of FQ-42 Vengeance is underway on company investment as government funding plans mature, with GA-ASI continuing its longstanding tradition of working at-risk with its own funds to support U.S. procurement planning and prevent delays in delivery. GA-ASI plans to build multiple fighters for its own company aircraft fleet, to invest in inventing new technologies that reduce risk and increase capabilities for its global customers.XQ-67A and FQ-42 represent two customer-delivered examples of GA-ASI's Gambit Series of next-generation combat jets. The modular design of the Gambit Series enables rapid integration of new systems, weapons and autonomy software, allowing customers to quickly pivot the platform to new missions without significant redesign.GA-ASI has been building and flying uncrewed jets for nearly two decades, beginning with the company-funded MQ-20 Avenger® in 2008. Avenger has been used extensively by GA-ASI as a test bed aircraft for CCA development. The company's XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station jet, developed in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory, is a cutting-edge model for autonomous collaborative platforms with advanced airborne sensing and served as a flying prototype for the FQ-42 Vengeance program.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

HONG KONG, Sept 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CTF Life today launched Sky Leap 88 Savings Insurance Plan (the “Plan”), a comprehensive wealth management solution integrating wealth accumulation, flexible asset allocation and intergenerational legacy planning. Featuring dual 8% enhancement advantages^, the Plan offers customers greater potential for wealth accumulation and value enhancement. By attaching the “Value Enhance Option”1 and prepaying the basic plan premium in full, customers can enjoy a limited-time first-year premium discount of at least 8% and up to 10%*. The option also enhances the Total Policy Value and shortens both the Guaranteed Breakeven Period and Projected Breakeven Period by one year#, helping customers reach breakeven sooner. The Plan also incorporates a range of distinctive product features and policy services, including the special-in-market2 8% “Legacy Compassion Benefit”3, “Wealth Accumulation Switching Option”4, “Policy Split Option”5, “Flexible policy value withdrawal arrangements” and “Life Event Option”6. Together, these product features and services help customers accumulate wealth steadily, manage asset allocation and policy value withdrawals, and plan their legacy with greater flexibility, enabling both wealth and care to be passed on to the next generations.The Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau noted in the Secretary’s Blog that US$83 trillion in private wealth is expected to be transferred across generations globally over the next two to three decades7. As wealth succession today goes beyond asset allocation, CTF Life is launching Sky Leap 88 Savings Insurance Plan to help customers address both wealth accumulation and legacy-planning needs.Betty Lee, Chief Product Officer of CTF Life, said: “True legacy goes beyond preserving or passing on wealth. It is about entrusting the fruits of years of effort and our aspirations for future generations with confidence and care. That vision inspired the creation of Sky Leap 88. Backed by CTF Life’s prudent dividend philosophy and financial strength, the Plan helps customers balance wealth accumulation and preservation while laying a strong foundation for building a well-structured, long-term legacy roadmap for the generations to come.”She continued: “We firmly believe a policy proves its true value by consistently delivering on its promises. Even amid market volatility, we pursue long-term wealth growth potential for customers through prudent investment strategy, empowering them to pursue their life goals at every stage with greater confidence through our savings insurance plans. Reflecting this commitment, our three signature product series8 have achieved a 100% or more fulfilment ratio for ten consecutive years9. We also maintained a non-guaranteed accumulation interest rate of 4.25% p.a. on participating USD policies for 14 consecutive years10. These results demonstrate our consistency and reliability in delivering on return commitments to customers over the long term and embody our steadfast commitment to creating value beyond insurance.”Key features and policy services of the Plan include:1.“Value Enhance Option”1: By attaching the “Value Enhance Option”1 and prepaying the basic plan premium in full in advance, customers can enjoy a limited-time first-year premium discount of at least 8% and up to 10%*. The Guaranteed Cash Value and Total Policy Value will also be enhanced throughout the policy term. Compared with a policy under the regular premium payment mode without the “Value Enhance Option”1, it shortens both the Guaranteed Breakeven Period and Projected Breakeven Period by one year#, and can achieve a projected internal rate of return of 6.5% by the 20th Policy Year#, helping customers reach guaranteed breakeven sooner.2.“Wealth Accumulation Switching Option”4: Starting from the 10th policy anniversary, customers can flexibly choose the value ratio of “Stable Asset Account”11 through three special-in-market2 Switching Options with artisanal design (including “Advance”, “Balanced” and “Conservative”). Customers can match the option to their needs at different life stages, balancing wealth accumulation opportunities with prudent asset management.3.Multiple innovative legacy planning solutions: Customers can use the “Policy Split Option”5 to allocate a portion of the Units from a basic plan to a separate Split Policy. Combined with other policy services, including unlimited changes of Insured12 with protection period covering until the new Insured reaches age 128, and the “Policy Continuation Option”13 and Policy Custody Value-added Service13, the Plan gives customers flexibility to deploy and plan a comprehensive legacy roadmap.4.Special-in-market2 “Legacy Compassion Benefit”3: Following each successful exercise of the “Policy Continuation Option”13, a “Legacy Compassion Benefit”3 will be payable on the next Policy Anniversary falling three years after the relevant policy continuation effective date. The benefit equals 8% of the Guaranteed Cash Value as at the time the option is exercised, adding extra value to intergenerational legacy planning.5.Flexible policy value withdrawal arrangements: Customers can set up one-time or regular withdrawal instructions for direct payment to designated payee(s)14. Starting from the second policy anniversary, they can withdraw up to 6% of the Total Premiums Paid each year15 until policy maturity, giving them a flexible cash flow to meet diverse needs.6.Flexible settlement options for Death Benefit16 / Full Surrender17: Customers can choose to pay the Death Benefit to beneficiaries through a lump-sum payment, regular instalment payments, increasing instalment payments or customised payments. Once the policy has been in force for five years, customers who fully surrender the policy can receive the payment as a lumpsum, or at regular or increasing instalments, tailoring legacy and financial planning to individual and family needs.7.“Life Event Option”6: Customers can combine the option with applicable Death Benefit Settlement Options and predefine lump-sum payments for the Primary Beneficiary(ies) at meaningful life milestones, such as reaching designated ages, marriage, property purchase, diagnosis of a major critical illness, or other life events. CTF Life pays the corresponding amount in a lump sum based on the percentage the Policy Owner predesignates, making protection a thoughtful extension of the Policy Owner’s wishes.8.Premium Waiver18: If an accident occurs, CTF Life pays the future premiums of the basic plan for the customer, keeping the policy in force while easing the family’s financial burden and protecting the future of their loved ones.To support the launch, CTF Life will roll out an outdoor advertising campaign from late September at prominent locations, including Hong Kong International Airport, K11 MUSEA, K11 Art Mall and Tsim Sha Tsui East MTR Station. A branded “Sky Leap 88” promotional vehicle will also travel across key districts on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon for one month, showcasing how the Plan combines enhanced wealth accumulation with legacy-planning benefits.Notes:^“Dual 8% Enhancement Advantages” refers to: (i) by attaching the “Value Enhance Option”¹ and prepaying the basic plan premium in full in advance, you may enjoy a limited-time first-year premium discount of 8% or 10%, depending on the annual premium amount; and (ii) following each exercise of the “Policy Continuation Option”13, an amount equal to 8% of the Guaranteed Cash Value as at the Policy Continuation Effective Date will be paid on the next Policy Anniversary falling three years after the relevant Policy Continuation Effective Date.

HONG KONG, Sept 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Duiba Group Limited (Stock Code: 01753.HK), the Hong Kong-listed operator that has become one of China's fastest-scaling AI short-drama platforms, announced that its controlling shareholder, Xiaoliang Holding Limited, has agreed to transfer 120,682,000 ordinary shares — approximately 11.21% of issued share capital — for nil consideration to Kewei Holding Limited, the Company's employee share award platform.The transfer, executed on 20 September 2026, is understood to be the largest founder-to-ESOP donation by percentage of share capital in the history of the Hong Kong stock market. It is not a disposal for cash. No shares are being sold into the market; all of them are being placed into a vehicle whose sole economic purpose is to reward and retain employees.Crucially, the arrangement is being funded entirely from the founder's personal shareholding. It involves no issuance of new shares and therefore no dilution to existing shareholders, and it consumes no company capital — no cash, no treasury reserves, no debt. The 120,682,000 shares are being transferred at nil consideration from the founder's own account to the employee incentive platform, meaning the cost of motivating and retaining the core team is borne by the founder, not by public investors or the Company's balance sheet.Six months of exponential growthThe transfer comes as Duiba's AI short-drama business enters a phase of compounding growth. On Douyin's native end, cumulative playback from June to August rose 178%. In July and August, Duiba ranked top three across the entire industry for two consecutive months, and was the only leading player to sustain month-on-month growth above 50% in both months.Seven years, zero founder sellingDuiba listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong on 7 May 2019. According to HKEX disclosure records, Mr. Chen Xiaoliang, the founder and controlling shareholder, voluntarily extended the post-IPO lock-up to three years at the time of listing and, from the IPO through the date of the transfer, has never reduced his personal beneficial shareholding.The 20 September arrangement is therefore the first change in the founder's ownership structure in the seven years since listing — and its direction is unambiguously inward."This is the clearest possible signal that the controlling shareholder is backing the next chapter of the business rather than exiting it," a Company spokesperson said. "The shares go to an ESOP vehicle, not to the market."After completion, Xiaoliang Holding will remain the controlling shareholder with approximately 31.01%, down from 42.21%. Kewei Holding, which currently holds only 0.17%, will hold approximately 11.38%.A war chest for AI talentKewei Holding has undertaken to introduce new incentive schemes with vesting and lock-up arrangements under the Company's equity incentive management measures. The stated focus is AI businesses, with AI short drama at the centre. Existing and future awards will be subject to service and performance conditions, aligning key employees with long-term shareholder value.The timing is deliberate. The AI short-drama sector is expanding rapidly, but hits remain scarce: fewer than 0.5% of new AI short dramas on Douyin surpass 100 million views. In that environment, the constraint on growth is not capital — it is the ability to retain writers, algorithm engineers, producers and commercialisation talent capable of turning AI tooling into repeatable hits.By moving roughly 11% of the Company into a locked-up, performance-vested incentive pool, Duiba is, in effect, converting founder ownership into collective engineering and creative capacity.The AI bet is already compoundingDuiba was founded in 2014, is headquartered in Hangzhou and listed on HKEX in May 2019. It built its early business on points-and-benefits SaaS and internet advertising, serving more than 16,000 enterprise clients. In late 2025 it moved strategically into AI short drama, building a full-stack pipeline spanning AI scriptwriting, AI production and AI distribution — what the Company describes as the industrialised, scaled monetisation of AI-generated content.Financials: revenue and gross profit rising in tandemThe Company's 2026 interim results show that the growth is reaching the income statement, not merely the traffic ledger.For the six months ended 30 June 2026:Metric1H2026ChangeTotal revenueRMB 434.7 million+24.3% YoYGross profitRMB 74.5 million+30.0% YoYGross margin17.1%16.4% (1H2025)Loss attributable to ownersRMB 25.3 millionnarrowedAI short-drama revenueRMB 222.6 million51.2% of group revenueThe Group's traditional SaaS and advertising operations contributed nearly RMB 70 million of gross profit in the first half and are expected to continue providing earnings support, while AI short drama has become the dominant revenue driver.Asset quality also appears intact. The Company reported net assets of RMB 1.175 billion, cash and short-term wealth management products of approximately RMB 400 million, and prepayments of RMB 345 million, largely related to the bank instant-discount business and recyclable into working capital.Why the transfer matters nowThree things make the move more than a symbolic gesture.First, it is structurally a gift, not a sale. The nil-consideration transfer means the founder receives no cash. For a controlling shareholder who has not sold a single share in seven years, the decision moves equity from a personal account to a collective one.Second, it arrives at a moment of operational inflection. Douyin rankings, view-count trajectories and the first-half revenue split all point in the same direction: AI short drama has become the core business, and locking talent into it via vesting and lock-ups addresses the binding constraint on its next phase.Third, it creates a credible incentive currency. An ESOP pool of roughly 11.38% is large enough to be material for hires and retention, yet structured with vesting and lock-ups that prevent it from becoming a short-term payout.The road ahead: overseas expansion and the short drama alliance business Duiba's second-half outlook rests on two tracks: AI short-drama expansion and a stable SaaS and advertising base.On the global front, the Company is accelerating its overseas push into a market it estimates at US$4 billion in 2026, up 390% year on year, with management expecting overseas operations to begin contributing revenue in the fourth quarter.Domestically, it is pursuing a strategy of the short drama alliance business,expanding to tens of thousands of app media clients via SDK access. Its distribution footprint extends beyond Toutiao and Hongguo to Tencent, Kuaishou, Baidu and more than 20 mid-tier platforms.This is not a founder exit. It is a founder-to-employee capital allocation: a seven-year holder converting personal ownership into collective incentive capacity at precisely the moment Duiba's AI short-drama business is compounding on both the view-count and income-statement lines.

HONG KONG, Sept 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines announced findings from a longitudinal study describing how paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) affects patients’ daily lives and quality of life in the periods between episodes. The findings are being presented in a moderated ePoster session titled “The Impact of PSVT on Patients’ Daily Life and QoL in Between Episodes”. Everest Medicines acquired the rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize CARDAMYST(R) (etripamil), a treatment for acute PSVT episodes, in Greater China (including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) in March 2026.CARDAMYST(R) (etripamil) nasal spray is a novel, rapid-acting calcium channel blocker administered as needed via a convenient, portable nasal spray. It offers rapid onset of action, favorable tolerability, and the potential for at-home self-administration, enhancing patient accessibility. CARDAMYST(R) is currently the only self-administered treatment for adults with PSVT to rapidly treat episodes. The drug was approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China in September 2026, for the conversion of acute symptomatic episodes of paroxysmal PSVT to sinus rhythm in adults.According to clinical data, treatment effects can be observed as early as five minutes after administration, with 64% of patients achieving conversion to sinus rhythm within 30 minutes and a median time to conversion of 17 minutes. CARDAMYST(R) was generally well tolerated, with predominantly mild adverse events, and significantly reduced the need for emergency department visits.Positioned as an on-demand treatment that enables patients to take control of their heart rhythm, CARDAMYST(R) empowers patients with PSVT to better manage their condition and their lives. It has the potential to transform the treatment paradigm for acute PSVT episodes from passive emergency care in hospitals to proactive self-management by patients, helping to alleviate anxiety during episodes, reduce emergency department visits and disease burden, and further improve long-term disease management and quality of life.Research presented at ESC Congress 2026 shows that PSVT is a chronic condition that continues to impact patients’ quality of life, rather than simply an occasional acute emergency. Patients with PSVT experience a substantial burden between episodes, with negative impacts on anxiety, daily activities, sleep, and work. Therefore, beyond acute treatment and subsequent catheter ablation, ensuring timely and convenient treatment during an episode is also an important aspect of PSVT management.For patients experiencing recurrent PSVT episodes, further data from studies of CARDAMYST(R) provide additional clinical support. The NODE-302 study evaluated patients with recurrent PSVT episodes during long-term follow-up. Across a total of 188 episodes, the overall conversion rate within 30 minutes was 60.2%, with a median time to conversion of 15.5 minutes and a cumulative conversion rate of 75.1% within 60 minutes. The conversion rate showed a numerical upward trend across multiple episodes. A patient’s response to the first episode was predictive of the response to subsequent episodes, with no evidence of diminished response with repeated use. In a patient-reported outcomes (PRO) analysis from the NODE-303 study, CARDAMYST(R) not only converted heart rhythm but also helped alleviate feelings of a racing or pounding heart and ease anxiety, with patients reporting sustained reductions from baseline in anxiety and stress related to future PSVT episodes. CARDAMYST(R) addresses the critical unmet need for acute self-treatment during PSVT episodes. By reducing the sense of losing control, it shifts the treatment focus from mere disease control to enhancing the overall patient experience.In December 2025, CARDAMYST(R) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), becoming the first and only self-administered nasal spray in more than 30 years capable of converting PSVT to sinus rhythm in adults. CARDAMYST(R) is also in Phase III clinical development for atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (AFib-RVR), with positive Phase II results supporting its advancement.An estimated 3 to 6 million people in China are living with PSVT. Research presented at ESC Congress 2026 further highlights the quality-of-life burden experienced by patients between episodes, while CARDAMYST(R) offers an out-of-hospital, self-administered treatment option for acute episodes. As Everest Medicines’ first approved innovative therapy in the cardiovascular disease field, CARDAMYST(R) complements the Company’s existing portfolio and has the potential to benefit more than 12 million patients in China, including those with PSVT and atrial fibrillation with AFib-RVR.

Adelaide, AU, Sept 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) — Duraqex's supplied business materials cover Australian financial services representation, U.S. money services registration and securities filings. Together with accessible official records, they provide information about the named entities. Each record serves a different purpose and must be matched to specific services.Together with accessible official records, they provide information about the named entities. Each record serves a different purpose and must be matched to specific services.The project materials extend that examination to execution: which entities bear responsibility, what their authorisations cover, and what evidence supports the proposed custody and settlement capabilities.Platform Design Focuses on Capital Efficiency Across MarketsDuraqex's project materials describe the digital asset market infrastructure addressing jurisdictional access differences, settlement arrangements, collateral eligibility and separately calculated margin across products or entities.These conditions affect whether capital can be deployed. An asset may have market value but remain ineligible as margin; credited funds may await settlement before further use.The proposed architecture connects market access, collateral management, execution and settlement. Project documents explain the design; availability requires product-status information and operational records.AFS Record Identifies DURAQEX PTY LTD as an Authorised RepresentativeThe supplied Australian record lists DURAQEX PTY LTD as authorised representative 001322634 of OPHELEO HOLDINGS PTY LTD, holder of Australian Financial Services (AFS) licence 224485. The document marks the representative's status as "Current."This describes a representative appointment, not an independently held AFS licence. Service coverage depends on the authorisation and licence conditions.Contracting entities, products and customer categories must correspond to those permissions. An ASIC lookup link is provided, but the status reported here remains attributed to the supplied record; live status was not independently verified.FinCEN MSB Registration Lists Reported ActivitiesAccording to the official FinCEN record retrieved on September 16, 2026, Duraqex Ltd is listed under Money Services Business (MSB) registration number 31000337348934. Reported activities include foreign exchange dealing, issuing and selling money orders, and issuing traveller's checks.The U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) states that registrants supply the information and registration does not constitute approval or endorsement. The record should be described as MSB registration, rather than a digital asset exchange licence.The lookup confirmed the named entry and number. It does not verify custody, withdrawal capability or solvency.SEC Form D Identifies DURAQEX LTDThe official SEC EDGAR Form D filing identifies DURAQEX LTD under Central Index Key (CIK) 0002144180.Form D is a notice of an exempt securities offering; the CIK identifies the filer. Readers can consult the SEC database to examine the issuer's information, identifier and securities offering disclosures, within the scope of that Form D filing.Custody, Proof of Reserves and Settlement Require Operational EvidenceBusiness records address entity identification and reported information. Platform capabilities require operating evidence.Custody assessment considers asset-control permissions, separation of customer and corporate assets, and obligations owed to customers. Proof of Reserves should specify the assets and liabilities covered, verification methods and limitations.Execution and settlement assessment also considers test coverage, exception handling and reviewable settlement records. These are assessment criteria, not statements that Duraqex has implemented or completed those checks.Matching contracting entities, service permissions and operating records would help users and business partners assess the platform. Registration and filing records alone do not establish comprehensive authorisation, solvency or asset safety.About DuraqexDuraqex's project materials describe digital asset market infrastructure focused on capital efficiency, market access, custody and verifiable settlement. Product status and service eligibility depend on applicable authorisations and operational evidence.Sources and Publication DisclosureThis company-supplied document assessment draws on project materials, the supplied Australian record and retrieved FinCEN and SEC records. It includes no account-opening, deposit or withdrawal testing or independent security audit and is not an independent platform rating.Media ContactContact: Ravindu WickramasuriyaEmail: info@desixb.comWebsite: https://www.desixb.com/ Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Guangzhou, China, Sept 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Airwheel, a developer of smart electric luggage and intelligent mobility products, will participate across all three phases of the 140th Canton Fair, bringing its latest generation of smart travel products to international buyers, distributors, retailers and industry partners.At the center of Airwheel's exhibition lineup will be the SE3SXD AI Luxury Suitcase, a flagship 20-inch smart electric suitcase that combines one-touch electric riding, intelligent control, connected technology and premium luggage design.The company will maintain a presence throughout all three phases of the exhibition, presenting a broader portfolio of AI Suitcases, Smart Suitcases, Electric Suitcases, Cabin Suitcases and Rideable Suitcases designed for different travel scenarios and customer segments.Airwheel will be present throughout the entire 140th Canton Fair.Phase 1: October 15–19, 2026Booth: To be announced following final confirmationPhase 2: October 23–27, 2026Booth: 20.2F19-20Phase 3: October 31–November 4, 2026Booths: 20.2J37-38, 20.2K11-12, 18.1K04The full three-phase presence gives international buyers an opportunity to connect with Airwheel throughout the exhibition period and explore its smart electric luggage portfolio, product capabilities and potential distribution opportunities.SE3SXD: From Luxury Suitcase to Intelligent Mobility CompanionThe SE3SXD represents Airwheel's latest approach to intelligent luggage, built around a simple idea: making the transition from carrying luggage to riding it faster and more intuitive.Its one-touch riding system automatically deploys the powered front wheel while the intelligent riding handle extends and locks into position. With a single operation, the suitcase can transition from a conventional Cabin Suitcase into a Rideable Suitcase without requiring users to manually complete multiple mechanical steps.The SE3SXD measures approximately 550 × 360 × 236 mm, provides 20 liters of storage capacity and weighs approximately 6.8 kg without the power bank. It supports a maximum load of 95 kg and reaches a maximum riding speed of 9.9 km/h.Its drive system uses a 230W motor and a 5.2-inch powered front wheel, combined with dual 4-inch rear wheels. The telescopic powered front-wheel structure extends the wheelbase during riding, helping improve stability across smooth indoor surfaces and common outdoor environments.The result is a premium travel product that combines the functions of a Luxury Suitcase, Cabin Suitcase, Electric Suitcase and Rideable Suitcase within one platform.Intelligent Control Designed Around the JourneyThe SE3SXD's intelligence extends beyond its electric drive system.Through Airwheel's dedicated smart APP, users can monitor riding speed, battery level and mileage in real time while adjusting speed continuously from 0.1 to 9.9 km/h.The system also supports functions including cruise control, intelligent remote control, low-battery alerts and Bluetooth disconnection notifications.Personalization is another part of the experience. The SE3SXD features an 8-color lighting system with nine lighting-effect combinations, allowing users to customize the visual appearance of the suitcase.For additional security and convenience, the SE3SXD supports Apple Find My, allowing users to locate the suitcase through compatible Apple devices and activate a sound when searching for it nearby.A 5V USB output provides additional charging capability for smartphones and other portable devices, extending the role of the suitcase beyond simple luggage storage.Designed for Modern International TravelThe SE3SXD is built around a 20-inch cabin-size format and uses a 73.26Wh removable lithium battery. The battery system has obtained International Certification, while its removable architecture allows the power unit to be separated from the suitcase when required for inspection and handling.The suitcase uses an ABS+PC composite shell reinforced with an aluminum alloy frame, combining lightweight construction with structural strength. A TSA combination lock provides additional convenience for international travelers.With a maximum load of 95 kg and an operating temperature range of approximately -10°C to 40°C, the SE3SXD is designed for a broad range of everyday travel environments.Airwheel's official product materials also emphasize the SE3SXD's combination of one-touch deployment, APP connectivity, Apple Find My and 9.9 km/h riding performance, positioning it as a flagship model within the company's smart rideable luggage range.A Complete Smart Electric Luggage Product MatrixThe SE3SXD is not a standalone product. It forms part of Airwheel's broader smart electric luggage portfolio, enabling the company to address different travel needs, price segments and user groups.SE3SXD — Flagship AI Luxury SuitcaseAirwheel's flagship intelligent model, featuring one-touch automatic riding deployment, APP control, Apple Find My and premium cabin-size design.SE3SX — Premium Smart Electric Cabin SuitcaseA compact rideable cabin suitcase designed for travelers seeking electric mobility, smart functions and a premium business-travel experience.SE3SL+ — Smart Rideable Airport SuitcaseA lightweight smart luggage option focused on portability, electric riding and everyday airport travel.SE3S / SE3SL — Established Rideable Electric Suitcase SeriesModels combining conventional luggage functionality with electric riding, removable battery systems and smart mobility features.SE3MiniT — Compact Electric Hand LuggageA smaller-format option designed for flexible personal mobility and users seeking a more compact rideable luggage solution.SE3T — Large-Capacity Electric SuitcaseA larger smart luggage platform designed for extended journeys, higher storage requirements and family travel.SQ3 / SQ3S — Family and Youth-Oriented Riding Kids SuitcaseCompact riding luggage designed around younger users and family travel scenarios.This product matrix gives Airwheel a broader commercial platform, allowing distributors and retailers to select products according to local market preferences rather than relying on a single flagship model.Growing Media Attention and Market RecognitionThe emergence of smart electric luggage has attracted increasing attention from technology, travel and consumer-product media as the traditional luggage category intersects with electric mobility and connected hardware.Airwheel's rideable smart luggage has received substantial media exposure and customer attention across different markets, helping introduce the concept of electric riding luggage to a wider international audience.The company's products have also received multiple international design recognitions. According to Airwheel, its portfolio has received more than 39 international design awards, while the company has accumulated more than 600 patents and related intellectual property assets covering areas such as electric drive, intelligent control, structural engineering and human-machine interaction.These technology and design assets form part of Airwheel's broader strategy to develop smart mobility products that combine practical functionality with consumer-oriented industrial design.Smart Electric Luggage: A 2026 Business OpportunityAs travel increasingly intersects with mobility technology, smart electric luggage is emerging as a distinct product category between traditional luggage, personal mobility and consumer electronics.For international distributors, luggage retailers, travel retailers, e-commerce businesses and mobility-focused companies, this convergence creates opportunities to introduce differentiated products into markets where conventional luggage has traditionally competed primarily on capacity, materials and design.Airwheel's multi-model portfolio provides several entry points into the category, ranging from premium AI Luxury Suitcases and compact Cabin Suitcases to larger-capacity Electric Suitcases.For businesses evaluating new product categories in 2026, smart electric luggage offers an opportunity to participate in an emerging segment driven by the convergence of AI, electric mobility, connected devices and modern travel.Rather than positioning the category simply as another type of luggage, Airwheel is developing it as a new travel technology platform—one capable of carrying belongings, providing electric mobility, connecting with smartphones and supporting users throughout their journey.Bringing Smart Travel to the Global MarketThe 140th Canton Fair will provide Airwheel with an opportunity to present this broader vision directly to international buyers.With the SE3SXD AI Luxury Suitcase as its flagship showcase and a growing product matrix behind it, Airwheel will demonstrate how smart electric luggage can evolve from a niche mobility product into a broader intelligent travel category.The company's three-phase presence also reflects its continued focus on international markets, where distributors, retailers and travel businesses can explore product demonstrations, portfolio options and potential cooperation.For Airwheel, the future of luggage is no longer limited to simply carrying what travelers bring with them.It is about helping people move, connect and travel more intelligently.At the 140th Canton Fair, Airwheel will bring that vision to the global market through a portfolio that spans AI Suitcases, Luxury Suitcases, Cabin Suitcases, Electric Suitcases and Rideable Suitcases—positioning intelligent mobility as an increasingly important part of the next generation of travel.Media ContactCompany: AirwheelContact: Media TeamWebsite: https://www.airwheel.net Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Sept 16, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) welcomes the new Policy Address and the First Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development of the HKSAR (2026-2030), delivered today by John Lee, Chief Executive of the HKSAR. Forward-looking, strategic and practical, these two plans align with the National 15th Five-Year Plan and the strategic development of Hong Kong’s “four centres and one hub.” The plans also set a clear blueprint for Hong Kong to reinforce its role as an international financial, trade, maritime and aviation centre, while focusing on its strengths in innovation and technology as well as cultural and talent development.Chairman of the HKTDC, Professor Frederick Ma said, “We fully support the Chief Executive’s Policy Address and Hong Kong’s First Five-Year Plan. As we face an uncertain world, setting short, medium and long-term goals will help businesses set directions and remain resilient. At the HKTDC, we are fully committed to aligning with these two plans. This includes assisting the Government to expand the city’s convention and exhibition (C&E) facilities.”Professor Ma added, “With Hong Kong’s unique advantage of enjoying the mainland’s strong support while being connected to the world, our position as an international trade fair capital has been enhanced in the past few decades. However, as the scale and diversity of fairs and conferences continue to grow in Hong Kong, there is a need to expand our facilities if we are to remain competitive. That is why I fully support the Government’s proactive measure of setting up a task force led by the Deputy Financial Secretary to steer the Wan Chai North Redevelopment project. We are pleased to have the opportunity to leverage our 60 years of expertise in this area to submit a proposal on the development approach of the project to the Government.”Regarding support for Hong Kong’s business community, the HKTDC also welcomes the Chief Executive’s measures to help Hong Kong SMEs diversify their markets, including strengthening the HKTDC “E-Commerce Express” programme to promote the awareness of Hong Kong brands and expand their coverage of e-commerce markets outside Hong Kong. Other measures to enhance funding schemes and encourage adoption of technology by SMEs were also welcome. The HKTDC will step up its efforts to support Hong Kong companies through our flagship fairs and conferences, including the Asian Financial Forum, Belt and Road Summit, Business of IP Asia Forum, CENTRESTAGE and InnoEX, while helping them access the Chinese Mainland including the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and international markets. Professor Ma further said, “As a core member of the Government’s GoGlobal Task Force, HKTDC’s GoGlobal Connect programme supports Hong Kong’s professional services to partner with mainland enterprises to develop global markets, and we will align with the Policy Address to further consolidate Hong Kong’s role as the premier platform to go to.” Measures include deepening collaboration with trade associations in Hong Kong and target markets, enhancing the matching function of the Cross-sectoral Professional Services Platform and adding the ESG (environmental, social and governance) services, as well as providing training for mainland enterprises and local service providers who wish to expand to overseas markets, such as Belt and Road regions in ASEAN, Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa. The HKTDC will also leverage its 50+ offices around the world to organise international missions and overseas Hong Kong promotions which open doors to more prospects in the future.Professor Ma concluded, “As we continue to face fresh challenges, I am confident that the Policy Address and the First Five-Year Plan will forge a new path ahead for Hong Kong. I look forward to leading our team on this journey to create more value for our business communities across Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and the world.” Media enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communications & Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgJohnny TsuiTel: (852) 2584 4395Email: johnny.cy.tsui@hktdc.orgHKTDC Media Room: https://mediaroom.hktdc.com/enAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.

SAN DIEGO, Sept 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) and Hanwha Aerospace have completed the first-ever flight operations from a simulated battlefield by a medium altitude, long endurance uncrewed aircraft. The partners proved that the Mojave Short Takeoff and Landing aircraft, or Mojave STOL, could land at a tank and artillery live-fire range during simulated combat conditions and then take off again to continue the mission."This demonstration showcased Mojave's ability to perform tactical missions that are representative of real battlefield requirements and challenges," said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. "Whether the user needs contested and austere battlefield operations, ISR, weapons delivery, Air-Launched Effects deployment, troop resupply, counter-UAS, or missions requiring short and unimproved roads for takeoff, our aircraft answer the bell.""This demonstration marks an important milestone in delivering tangible results through the partnership between Hanwha and GA-ASI," said Buhwan Lee, CEO nominee of Hanwha Aerospace. "Going forward, we will work closely with the ROK defense industry to develop unmanned systems designed for future operating environments and expand our presence in global markets."The Defense Drone Technology Exhibition took place in the countryside north of Seoul and highlighted Mojave's ability to operate from an austere environment with a short runway. Configured with dual weapon rails and inert payloads, Mojave executed a concept of operations designed to illustrate how STOL capability enhances operational flexibility, survivability, and responsiveness for future ROK defense applications. The demo took place at the runway of ROK Army 513th Aviation Battalion and the Seungjin Training Field in Pocheon-si.Under the control of pilots operating from ground control stations, Mojave took off from a conventional runway at ROK Army 513th ROK Aviation Battalion, flew to the Seungjin Training Field where it joined air operations, then landed on a rough maneuver trail used mostly by ROK Army tanks and artillery vehicles. The aircraft then took back off again, resumed operations, and returned to ROK Army 513th Aviation Battalion. In an actual combat situation, soldiers could have refueled and re-armed Mojave during its time on the ground at the range. No other aircraft with Mojave's endurance, range or payload has this ability.In 2025, GA-ASI announced that it was partnering with Hanwha to co-develop and co-produce UAS with STOL capability for a worldwide customer base, including the ROK Ministry of National Defense, the United States Department of War and other global customers. Critical Design Review (CDR) for a production Mojave STOL is expected in November this year with first flight in 2027.The Mojave STOL demonstrator now is scheduled to travel to Changwon where it will be on display at Hanwha's Industry Day on September 21. The event will include an array of ROK suppliers, with many contributing to the production of Mojave STOL.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).
