(Photo by Zhuang Ge&#039;er)</div><div><br></div><div>YIBIN, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 8 September 2026 - The 2026 World Power Battery Conference opened on September 3 in Yibin, Sichuan Province, China.</div><div><br></div><div>Focusing on industry policies, cutting-edge technologies, innovative applications, new energy storage technologies, and battery recycling, the conference features a series of thematic sessions. These sessions are designed to deepen cross-border industrial collaboration through high-level international exchanges, and to continuously advance international cooperation and pragmatic collaboration in the power battery sector.</div><div><br></div><div>According to data released at the conference, China&#039;s indigenously developed technologies have contributed to the development of the power battery industry. The driving range of lithium-powered batteries has extended from around 100 kilometers in the early days to as much as 1,000 kilometers today. Charging time has been cut from hours to around 10 minutes. Battery durability has jumped from approximately 300 charge cycles to as many as 1,500 cycles for energy storage batteries, and costs have fallen by 90%.</div><div><br></div><div>At the opening ceremony, eight innovative power battery technologies for the 2025?2026 period were unveiled, including power batteries that support ultra-fast charging in around 10 minutes, hybrid solid-liquid batteries with a specific energy of 350 Wh/kg, and large-capacity, high-safety energy storage batteries with capacities ranging from 300 Ah to 600 Ah. These breakthroughs are expected to provide further impetus for innovation across the industry.</div><div><br></div><div>Ouyang Minggao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, pointed out three major development trends for the power battery industry. The first is battery safety across the entire lifecycle. China&#039;s mandatory national standard, Electric Vehicles Traction Battery Safety Requirements, officially took effect on July 1. Under the standard, batteries must not catch fire or explode; the gases they release must not harm vehicle occupants; and after 300 fast-charging cycles, they must still pass external short-circuit tests without igniting or exploding.</div><div><br></div><div>The second is AI empowerment across the whole chain. The application of AI to intelligent battery design, manufacturing, and management will reshape the battery industry across the entire technology, industrial, and value chains. The third is green and low-carbon development throughout the full lifecycle.</div><div><br></div><div>At the conference, Wang He, founder and CTO of GALBOT, shared the company&#039;s exploration of embodied intelligent robots. One of its latest products, which breaks through the workload limits of humanoid robots, was developed through deep integration with the power battery industry and has already been commercialized on a large scale at companies including CATL.</div><div><br></div><div>Wang believes that leading players in the sector are likely to reach the "ChatGPT moment" for embodied intelligence by 2028. This, he said, would usher in a steep growth curve for the humanoid robotics industry, with the explosive growth of humanoid robots opening up a new horizon for the power battery sector.</div><div><br></div><div>Spain served as the Guest Country of Honor at this year&#039;s conference. Betanzos, the Spanish Ambassador to China, said that Chinese investment in Spain is shifting its focus from trade toward long-term industrial projects, bringing production to Spain, creating high-quality jobs, and establishing alliances with local Spanish companies.</div><div><br></div><div>The World Power Battery Conference was launched in Yibin, Sichuan Province, in 2022, and this year marks the fifth year that the city has hosted the event.</div><div><br></div><div>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.</div><div><br></div><div>Hashtags: #YibinInformationOffice</div><div><br></div>   ]]></description>

DCM&#039;s Side-core platform is designed to operate alongside existing banking infrastructure, enabling institutions to introduce capabilities such as tokenized deposits while retaining their existing core systems, customer accounts, compliance processes and operational controls.</div><div><br></div><div>ADI Foundation will provide the institutional blockchain infrastructure through ADI Chain, alongside regional relationships and market access to support adoption across MENA and Sub-Saharan Africa.</div><div><br></div><div>Under the agreement, DCM will serve as ADI&#039;s exclusive provider and implementation partner for Tokenized Deposit Solutions across MENA and Sub-Saharan Africa, while ADI will serve as DCM&#039;s exclusive distribution and referral channel for those solutions on ADI Chain in the same territory.</div><div><br></div><div>Svyatoslav Senyuta, Chief Business Officer at ADI Foundation said: "Banks do not need another technology project that requires them to rebuild systems that already work. The practical path to blockchain adoption is to connect new capabilities to the infrastructure banks already trust and operate every day. DCM provides that connection while ADI provides the institutional blockchain infrastructure and regional reach across MENA and Africa. Together, we want to make tokenized deposits a deployable banking capability, rather than a multi-year transformation project."</div><div><br></div><div>Maryna Virko, Director, DCM, said: "Banks should not have to choose between maintaining trusted core infrastructure and participating in the next generation of financial services. DCM was built to allow institutions to add blockchain capabilities such as tokenized deposits while preserving their existing systems, controls and customer relationships. Partnering with ADI combines that technology with institutional blockchain infrastructure and a strong route to market across MENA and Africa, creating a practical model for banks looking to adopt blockchain without unnecessary disruption."</div><div><br></div><div>DCM&#039;s Side-core technology is designed to integrate with both legacy and modern core banking platforms while keeping the bank in control of customer accounts, transaction authorization, risk parameters and compliance. The platform also supports existing banking standards including ISO 20022 and is designed so transactions continue to operate through institutions&#039; established compliance and AML frameworks.</div><div><br></div><div>Tokenized deposits are blockchain-based representations of commercial bank deposits. DCM&#039;s model is designed so those deposits remain part of the bank&#039;s existing balance-sheet and regulatory framework while gaining capabilities such as 24/7 transferability and programmable transaction logic. DCM describes its approach as adding digital rails to existing deposits rather than requiring banks to create a separate banking system.</div><div><br></div><div>ADI Chain is designed for institutional deployment, including financial services and tokenized assets. By combining this infrastructure with DCM&#039;s integration technology, the partnership is intended to give banks a pathway from their existing core systems to blockchain-based financial infrastructure while maintaining the regulatory and operational controls required by financial institutions.</div><div><br></div><div>The partnership forms part of ADI Foundation&#039;s broader strategy to support practical institutional blockchain adoption across the Middle East, Africa and other emerging markets.</div><div><br></div><div>About ADI Foundation</div><div><br></div><div>The ADI Foundation is an institutional gateway enabling public and private sector organizations to adopt blockchain technology through purpose-built, policy-aligned infrastructure, expanding financial access for underserved communities globally.</div><div><br></div><div>Central to ADI&#039;s mission to connect one billion people and institutions to the digital economy by 2030 is ADI Chain, the first institutional blockchain for stablecoins and real-world assets in the MENA region. ADI Chain acts as settlement infrastructure for a dirham-backed stablecoin, DDSC, initiated by IHC and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) and licensed by the UAE Central Bank.</div><div><br></div><div>ADI collaborates with leading global institutions including BlackRock, Mastercard, M-Pesa, Visa, Franklin Templeton and is headquartered in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the world&#039;s first jurisdiction with a bespoke digital asset framework. ADI is founded by Sirius International Holding, the technology-focused subsidiary of International Holding Company.</div><div><br></div><div>About DCM</div><div><br></div><div>DCM Corp Limited designs, develops, and implements blockchain-based banking infrastructure for regulated financial institutions. Its Side-core platform spans 11 domains and more than 50 features, enabling banks to adopt tokenized deposits and stablecoin payments alongside their existing core systems without requiring core replacement.</div><div><br></div><div>The platform supports ISO 20022-native payment messaging, mapping blockchain activity into the payment workflows and message structures banks already use while preserving established operational, compliance, and balance-sheet controls. DCM&#039;s architecture is designed to integrate with both legacy and modern core banking platforms and supports scalable onboarding through reusable integrations across institutions operating the same core systems.</div><div><br></div><div>DCM&#039;s founders have deployed blockchain infrastructure for regulated institutions since 2016 across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. The architecture already powers a live interbank payment network, in production since 2024.</div><div><br></div><div>Copyright 2026 GlobeNewswire, Inc.</div></div> ]]></description>

<title>Crypto Wealth Holds Up in 2026 as Bitcoin Retreats from Record Highs</title>
<link>https://antaranusa.com/antaranusa-business/Crypto-Wealth-Holds-Up-in-2026-as-Bitcoin-Retreats-from-Record-Highs</link>
<description><![CDATA[<img src=https://antaranusa.com/photo/berita/dir092026/3616_Crypto-Wealth-Holds-Up-in-2026-as-Bitcoin-Retreats-from-Record-Highs.jpg border=0 hspace=5 align=left width=350 />  <div><br></div><div><div>LONDON, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- There are 135,694 crypto millionaires worldwide, each holding USD 1 million or more in digital assets - and 92,272 are Bitcoin millionaires - according to the Crypto Wealth Report 2026 released today by international residence and citizenship advisory specialists Henley & Partners.</div><div><br></div><div>The global crypto market is now worth USD 2.6 trillion, of which USD 1.6 trillion is in Bitcoin (as of 31 August 2026). Bitcoin currently trades at roughly 38% below its October 2025 peak, recovering from its mid-year slump when it fell under 50%, and this has been the mildest of its major winters: the declines that followed the 2011, 2013, 2017, and 2021 peaks each cut its price by more than 75%.</div><div><br></div><div>Further up the crypto wealth pyramid are 290 centi-millionaires holding USD 100 million or more - 151 in Bitcoin alone - while at the apex are 23 crypto billionaires, 9 of them in Bitcoin. Some 742 million individuals now hold digital assets in some amount, 371 million of them holding Bitcoin, showing that ownership continued to broaden even as the market contracted.</div><div><br></div><div>Dominic Volek, Group Head of Private Clients at Henley & Partners, says the portability of digital wealth is making residence and citizenship planning increasingly relevant to crypto investors. "Crypto may be borderless, but the families who own it are not. They still live, pay tax, educate their children, and operate within national legal and regulatory systems. Crypto changes the traditional equation: the asset may no longer need the jurisdiction, but the owner still does."</div><div><br></div><div>Dr. Guenther Dobrauz-Saldapenna, Managing Partner at Henley & Partners Switzerland, says digital assets have fundamentally altered the relationship between wealth and geography. "Traditional wealth often crosses borders slowly, through intermediaries, or not at all. A self-custodied digital asset can move with its owner almost instantly. That makes the individual&#039;s choice of residence, citizenship, and regulatory environment far more important."</div><div><br></div><div>Ownership Widens Through the Downturn</div><div><br></div><div>Digital asset ownership skews sharply by age. This is the first generation to build significant fortunes in an asset that was never tied to a single country.</div><div><br></div><div>Jack Bernstein, Head of the International Tax Group at Aird & Berlis, says this younger generation&#039;s priorities are also evolving: "The first generation of crypto wealth creators faces challenges very different from those of traditional family businesses. For many young entrepreneurs, the focus has shifted from building wealth to preserving it."</div><div><br></div><div>The report weighs what the new infrastructure changed, and what it did not. Jean-Marie Mognetti, Co-Founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer at CoinShares, says "the crucial question for wealth managers is no longer simply which token to buy, or even how much digital asset exposure a client should hold, but how many different ways that allocation can earn its return."</div><div><br></div><div>Stablecoins are also changing how digital wealth can move between financial centers. Dr. Guneet Kaur, an independent researcher in financial technologies and AI, points out that "dollar liquidity can now move between a Dubai custodian, a Singapore family office, and a European bank account inside minutes rather than days, without routing through a US correspondent bank at all."&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Comparing Crypto-Friendly Countries</div><div><br></div><div>The Henley Crypto Adoption Index 2026, a proprietary tool updated annually as part of the Crypto Wealth Report, benchmarks 36 countries offering residence and citizenship pathways, assessing how effectively they embrace and regulate crypto and blockchain. Drawing on more than 900 data points, the index provides a comparative view of the regulatory, tax, infrastructure, innovation, and adoption environments available to internationally mobile digital asset investors.</div><div><br></div><div>Singapore leads the index for the fourth consecutive year, holding the highest Innovation and Technology score overall. The UAE takes 2nd place, up from 5th last year, with 10 out of 10 for Tax-Friendliness and no tax on crypto trading, staking, or mining. Hong Kong is 3rd, with the strongest Infrastructure Adoption and Economic Factors scores in the index, and the USA is 4th, the only country to score a perfect 10 for Public Adoption.

<description><![CDATA[<img src=https://antaranusa.com/photo/berita/dir092026/4265_TP-named-Frost--amp--Sullivan--039-s-2026-Asia-Pacific-Company-of-the-Year-in-Customer-Experience-Management-Services.jpg border=0 hspace=5 align=left width=350 />  <div><br></div><div><div>SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 8 September 2026 - Global digital business services leader TP (ex-Teleperformance) has been named Frost & Sullivan&#039;s 2026 Asia-Pacific Company of the Year in Customer Experience Management Services, the analyst firm&#039;s top honor recognizing the market participant that exemplifies visionary innovation, market-leading performance and customer care. TP was recognized for combining AI orchestration, operational discipline, and measurable customer impact across Asia-Pacific.</div><div><br></div><div>Frost & Sullivan credited TP&#039;s ability to move AI from experimentation into live operations, which Frost identified as one of the most urgent gaps in the industry. TP applies AI across the service delivery lifecycle to help teams become productive faster and improve service quality at scale.</div><div><br></div><div>This starts with AI-enabled recruitment and onboarding, extends into simulation-based training that helps customer experts build proficiency before handling live interactions, and continues through workforce management and AI-assisted coaching. In quality assurance, TP now reviews every transaction rather than the small sample the industry has traditionally relied on, sharpening coaching precision, compliance visibility and operational learning.</div><div><br></div><div>"As AI becomes embedded into customer operations, enterprises need outcome-based models that orchestrate AI and human agents to improve productivity and deliver measurable business value," said Dave Rizzo, President and CEO, APAC, TP. "TP designs workflows that use AI to elevate human work, while linking productivity gains to the business outcomes clients want to achieve. Being named Frost & Sullivan&#039;s Asia-Pacific Company of the Year recognizes the progress we are making in delivering that transformation for clients across the region."</div><div><br></div><div>Frost & Sullivan highlighted TP&#039;s work with a major hospitality brand in Singapore as an example of this approach in practice. The engagement went beyond operational delivery to integrate technology across legacy and modern systems, while also implementing an AI-enabled knowledge platform that delivers trusted, context-aware answers to customer inquiries across multiple operational teams and lines of business.</div><div><br></div><div>Together, these capabilities supported a broader redesign of the service infrastructure behind a high-touch, premium customer experience. Beyond individual client engagements, TP&#039;s operations across Asia-Pacific play a dual role in TP&#039;s strategy as both a delivery engine and a business development engine in a high-growth demand market. Frost & Sullivan noted that TP&#039;s regional footprint enables it to respond to different language, regulatory, cultural, and operational requirements.</div><div><br></div><div>"The company&#039;s centers of excellence in Asia-Pacific contribute to the development of solutions across AI, machine learning, natural language processing, analytics, and automation. This gives the region a role beyond labor delivery. It becomes a capability engine for global transformation," said Krishna Baidya, Vice President, ICT Practice, Frost & Sullivan.</div><div><br></div><div>Frost & Sullivan also highlighted TP&#039;s approach to reframing the traditional onshore-versus-offshore debate. Across Asia-Pacific, TP supports offshore, nearshore, onshore and hybrid delivery models, using technology and local market capabilities to balance cost efficiency, service quality, language requirements and regulatory needs. This flexibility allows TP to tailor delivery models to the realities of individual markets rather than relying on a single approach.</div><div><br></div><div>With operations in close to 100 countries and services spanning more than 170 markets, TP combines global scale with regional delivery depth, technology and human expertise. Across Asia-Pacific, this is translating into measurable outcomes, including an agentic triage use case that reduced referral-to-booking turnaround from approximately 24 hours to minutes while improving booking conversion. The recognition reflects how TP is evolving its digital business services for the next phase of AI-enabled transformation while keeping human oversight, empathy, judgment and relationships central to the service model.</div><div><br></div><div>AboutTP in SINGAPORE</div><div>TP in Singapore is part of the TP Group, a global leader in digital business services which consistently seeks to blend the best of advanced technology with human empathy to deliver enhanced customer care that is simpler, faster, and safer for the world&#039;s biggest brands and their customers.</div><div><br></div><div>The Group&#039;s comprehensive, AI-powered service portfolio ranges from front office customer care to back-office functions, including high-value digital transformation services, collections and operations consulting. It also offers a range of specialized services such as interpreting and localization, visa and consular services, and recruitment process outsourcing services. The teams of multilingual, inspired, and passionate experts and advisors, spread in close to 100 countries, as well as the Group&#039;s local presence allows it to be a force of good in supporting communities, clients, and the environment.</div><div><br></div><div>For more information: www.tp.com.</div><div>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.</div><div><br></div><div>Hashtags: #TP</div><div><br></div><div>http://www.tp.com</div><div>https://www.linkedin.com/company/wearetpgroup/home/</div><div>https://x.com/wearetpgroup</div><div>https://www.facebook.com/wearetpgroup/</div></div> ]]></description>

The agreements are part of the large-scale modernization of HS?&#039;s hospital infrastructure and covers both the upgrading of existing hospitals and new constructions.</div><div><br></div><div>This modernization is expected to enhance patient care by enabling faster response times and improved safety measures, streamline hospital operations through integrated clinical communication systems, and improve working conditions for medical staff by providing more efficient tools. The estimated value of the framework agreement is CHF 80 million over seven years.</div><div><br></div><div>HS? is Norway&#039;s largest healthcare organization, owned by the Norwegian Ministry of Health and Care Services. With more than 85,000 employees across 30 hospitals and 70 locations, it serves approximately 57% of the country&#039;s population. Ascom and HS? share a long-standing relationship.</div><div><br></div><div>The framework agreement enables HS? to deploy standardized, advanced clinical communication solutions across multiple hospital projects. These efforts focus on improving patient safety, accelerating response times, and streamlining workflows with integrated nurse call, critical alarm, and personal safety systems. The solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing clinical and technical infrastructures, facilitating operational efficiency, and enhancing working conditions for medical staff.</div><div><br></div><div>Based on its extensive experience in Norwegian hospitals and strong local presence, Ascom is well positioned to support HS? through all stages of the contract, from planning to delivery. The framework agreement allows Ascom to expand its installed base and increase recurring revenue from software, services, maintenance, and upgrades.</div><div><br></div><div>Furthermore, it positions Ascom to participate in future modernization phases through tendering. In 2026, Ascom secured tenders for the major hospital developments at the new Aker Hospital and the new Rikshospitalet in Oslo. Ascom was awarded contracts for both patient signal and staff safety solutions at both hospitals, underlining its strong position as a trusted partner in critical healthcare infrastructure. Project execution commenced in the second quarter of 2026.</div><div><br></div><div>"This agreement reflects a clear market trend towards standardized platforms and selecting reliable partners with long-term delivery strengths. Ascom is well-positioned to support this change and expand our footprint in the Norwegian healthcare sector. Our partnership with HS? and the project award for ARH underscores the trust placed in Ascom and the customer advantage of an integrated approach to clinical communication and safety solutions," said David Hale, CEO of Ascom.</div><div><br></div><div>Copyright 2026 GlobeNewswire, Inc.</div></div> ]]></description>

Bantuan itu diserahkan melalui ABACO (Asociacion de Bancos de Alimentos de Colombia) untuk selanjutnya disalurkan kepada warga Wounaan di Pichima, yang berada di kotamadya Litoral del San Juan.</div><div><br></div><div>Upaya bantuan dimulai pada 19 Agustus, melalui pengumpulan berbagai kebutuhan penting oleh tim PU Prime di sejumlah lokasi di Bogot? guna memenuhi kebutuhan mendesak masyarakat terdampak yang telah diidentifikasi sebelumnya.

"Sumbangan ini mungkin tidak besar jika dibandingkan dengan skala kondisi darurat yang jauh lebih besar, tetapi semua pihak yang terlibat ingin memastikan bantuan itu dipersiapkan dengan baik dan diserahkan kepada mitra yang dapat menyalurkannya ke tempat yang paling membutuhkan."</div><div><br></div><div>Dari Bogota, ABACO mengoordinasikan pengiriman bantuan ke Quibdo.

<title>New Research Reveals How Asia&#039;s Wealthiest Families Give</title>
<link>https://antaranusa.com/antaranusa-business/New-Research-Reveals-How-Asia--039-s-Wealthiest-Families-Give</link>
<description><![CDATA[<img src=https://antaranusa.com/photo/berita/dir092026/648_New-Research-Reveals-How-Asia--039-s-Wealthiest-Families-Give.jpg border=0 hspace=5 align=left width=350 />  <div><br></div><div><div>Global research explores how newer wealth, continued business ownership, and family stewardship influence philanthropic practices among Asia&#039;s wealthiest families</div><div><br></div><div>Roughly 94 percent of Asia&#039;s wealthiest families are first- or second-generation wealth holders</div><div>Approximately 95 percent of Asia&#039;s wealthiest families retain control of the businesses that generated their wealth</div><div><br></div><div>SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 8 September 2026 - As private wealth continues to expand globally and an estimated US$74 trillion is expected to transfer between generations over the next 20 to 25 years, understanding how wealthy families approach philanthropy is becoming increasingly important.</div><div><br></div><div>New research from The Bridgespan Group, based on analysis of 186 of the wealthiest individuals and families across 20 economies spanning Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, sheds light on how the world&#039;s wealthiest families give, what they fund, how they organise their philanthropy, and how they seek to create change.</div><div><br></div><div>Supported by Bridgespan&#039;s Funders Council comprising the Institute of Philanthropy, The Rockefeller Foundation, and the Gates Foundation, and with contributions from the Financial Services Development Council and Wealth Management Institute, High-Impact Family Philanthropy: What Makes Family Giving Distinctive marks the third year of the High-Impact Philanthropy series, building on previous research on institutional philanthropy and corporate giving.</div><div><br></div><div>"This research comes at a pivotal moment for family philanthropy, especially as private wealth continues to grow," said Xueling Lee, co-author and partner at Bridgespan. "Our research helps fill a knowledge gap on how the world&#039;s wealthiest families organise their philanthropy and pursue impact, and finds distinguishing characteristics in Asia."</div><div><br></div><div>In Asia, where founders and second-generation leaders often remain closely involved in the businesses that generated their wealth, philanthropy is frequently connected to broader questions of stewardship, business ownership, succession, and community engagement. The research finds that these differences are shaped by factors including the relative newness of wealth, continued business ownership, and the close connection between family, business, and philanthropy. Bridgespan&#039;s research on corporate giving highlights this dynamic: founder- or family-linked companies account for 11 of Asia&#039;s 20 largest corporate funders, compared with four among the world&#039;s 20 largest corporate funders.</div><div><br></div><div>"Beyond the scale of their giving, many families bring a long-term perspective, deep personal commitment, and relationships across sectors built over decades," said Brian San, secretary-general of the Institute of Philanthropy. "These qualities are particularly relevant in Asia, where family-owned businesses remain a powerful force and philanthropy is often closely connected to family stewardship, business leadership, and community engagement. The report highlights how these characteristics can help families catalyse collaboration, support innovation, and contribute to meaningful impact over time."</div><div><br></div><div>"This research confirms what we have seen firsthand: family philanthropy has driven some of today&#039;s boldest solutions and most pioneering research. These funders are uniquely positioned to take risks and build coalitions that can solve big, complex problems at their root," said Deepali Khanna, senior vice president and head of Asia (division) at The Rockefeller Foundation. "Some of the work we are proudest of, like the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet, started because family philanthropies were willing to commit early and jointly at a time when no single institution could have carried it alone."</div><div><br></div><div>While the report finds that wealthy families around the world share many common philanthropic behaviours, it also identifies several characteristics that distinguish family philanthropy in Asia.</div><div><br></div><div>Asia&#039;s wealth is newer: Approximately 94 percent of wealth held by Asia&#039;s wealthiest families sits with first- or second-generation wealth holders, compared with roughly 85 percent in high-income economies outside Asia. The relative newness of wealth influences how wealth is held, the degree of family involvement in operating businesses, the availability of liquid assets, and the form philanthropy takes.</div><div>Asian families retain tighter control of their businesses: Approximately 95 percent of Asian families maintain control of the businesses that generated their wealth, compared with roughly 68 percent outside Asia. Where wealth remains closely tied to an operating business, philanthropic decisions often sit alongside broader considerations such as government relationships, succession planning, and reputation.</div><div>Families fund remarkably similar issues across regions: Education, health, and support for marginalised and vulnerable populations are among the top issues supported by wealthy families. In Asia, families are more likely to support elderly care, religion, and sports, while families from other regions more frequently fund science and technology initiatives, including those related to artificial intelligence.</div><div>Few families publicly report outcomes from their giving: More than 80 percent of families in Asia publicly report outputs from their giving, such as schools built or teachers trained, compared with just 45 percent of high-income families outside Asia. However, outcome reporting, such as learning gains or graduation rates, remains uncommon across all groups.</div><div><br></div><div>Beyond examining how families give, the companion report How the World&#039;s Wealthiest Families Give explores approaches that help families translate their resources and influence into meaningful and sustained impact:</div><div><br></div><div>1.Taking risks others cannot or will not: Families often have the autonomy to move from decision to deployment more readily than institutional or corporate funders. In Singapore, for example, the Lien Foundation made a decade-long push into early childhood development, a sector that few had championed when it began. Its sustained work alongside government and other stakeholders contributed to broader sector development over time.</div><div>2.Facilitating collective action: Families with trusted relationships across sectors can bring together stakeholders who might not otherwise gather, helping fragmented efforts to evolve into coordinated action. In 2024, the Jollibee Group Foundation, led by Tony and Grace Tan Caktiong, partnered with the Provincial Government of Basilan, the Zuellig Family Foundation, and the League of Corporate Foundations to expand its school feeding programme. Together, the partnership supports the delivery of nutritious meals to nearly 25,000 children in 250 schools.</div><div>3.Mobilising multiple types of capital: A family with authority across philanthropic and investment decisions may be able to move capital across different instruments with fewer external negotiations, board approvals, or fiduciary obligations to outside investors.</div><div><br></div><div>About The Bridgespan Group</div><div>The Bridgespan Group (www.bridgespan.org) is a global nonprofit that collaborates with social change organisations, philanthropists, and impact investors to make the world more equitable and just. Bridgespan&#039;s services include strategy consulting and advising, sourcing and diligence, and leadership team support.</div><div><br></div><div>We take what we learn from this work and build on it with original research, identifying best practices and innovative ideas to share with the social sector.

"HUAFULI Hong Kong Home Art Gallery"</div><div><br></div><div>Executive President Xie Zhikun Reveals Deep Ties with Hong Kong; Hong Kong Regional Manager Ken So Addresses Industry Pain Points and Sets HK$100 Million Sales Target</div><div><br></div><div>HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 7 September 2026 - HUAFULI, a high-end decorative panel brand under the Shanghai Stock Exchange main board listed company "Dongguan Huali Industries Co., Ltd." (Stock Code: 603038.SH), has leveraged its 30 years of brand heritage and formidable R&D and supply chain strength to achieve a rapid growth of over 50% against recent market downturns! Backed by a robust brand history, HUAFULI served as a supporting furniture materials supplier for top-tier international events, including the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, and the 2011 Shenzhen Summer Universiade, earning national-level recognition for its quality.</div><div><br></div><div>HUAFULI today officially announced its full-scale entry into the Hong Kong market, establishing its presence in the heart of Lockhart Road, Wan Chai-renowned as "Hong Kong&#039;s Building Materials Street." A grand opening ceremony was held for its brand-new 2,800 sq. ft. flagship exhibition hall, the "HUAFULI Hong Kong Home Art Gallery". The brand offers an Integrated Door-Wall-Cabinet solution and localized services, using Hong Kong as a strategic pivot to expand into the global market!</div><div><br></div><div>The ceremony, themed "Huafuli: A New Chapter in Hong Kong", was officiated by management representatives, including Mr. Jacky Tan Xujie, Vice Chairman of Dongguan Huali Industries Co., Ltd., Mr. Xie Zhikun, CEO and Co-founder of Dongguan Huali Industries Co., Ltd., Mr. Lu Xuqiu, Co-founder of Dongguan Huali Industries Co., Ltd., Mr. Wang Tangxin, Co-founder of Dongguan Huali Industries Co., Ltd., Mr. Ji Juntao, Vice President of Dongguan Huali Industries Co., Ltd., and Mr. Ken So, Sales Manager of the Hong Kong Region, Huafuli. The event also featured a heavyweight guest, three-time TV King, renowned artist, and Brand Spokesperson Mr. Wayne Lai, who attended the ribbon-cutting and conducted a live contract signing ceremony, witnessing this significant milestone in HUAFULI&#039;s development in Hong Kong.</div><div><br></div><div>30 Years of Dedication: From Single-Product Champion to System Service Provider; Executive President Xie Zhikun Reveals Deep "Hong Kong Ties"</div><div><br></div><div>Founded in 1995, Huali Shares was listed on the SSE main board in 2017. In its early years, the brand took the lead in breaking foreign technological monopolies, spearheading the formulation of China&#039;s furniture edge banding industry standards, and achieving the highest national sales for ten consecutive years. Over 30 years of development, the brand has successfully upgraded from an edge banding sales champion to a whole-house system service provider encompassing decorative panels, edge banding, and home hardware. Amid the transformative challenges faced by the home building materials industry in recent years, HUAFULI has defied market trends with a robust growth of over 50%, demonstrating remarkable business resilience and market leadership.</div><div><br></div><div>During his opening speech, Mr. Xie Zhikun, CEO and Co-founder of Dongguan Huali Industries Co., Ltd., shared emotionally: "Thirty years ago, we started with a single edge banding strip, proactively formulating the industry standards for furniture edge banding in China and maintaining the number one sales position nationwide for thirty consecutive years. With this dedication, we successfully upgraded from a &#039;single-product champion&#039; to a complete system covering decorative panels, edge banding, and home hardware. Even when the industry faced challenges recently, HUAFULI still achieved a 50% growth against the trend. In fact, our connection with Hong Kong began back in 2008 when we established a subsidiary here. Hong Kong people are extremely particular about home quality, placing special emphasis on eco-friendliness, moisture resistance, and health, which are precisely HUAFULI&#039;s strengths. The &#039;HUAFULI Hong Kong Home Art Gallery&#039; unveiled today is not just an ordinary showroom, but a home art gallery that offers peace of mind and lifestyle aesthetics. In the future, we will collaborate with all sectors in Hong Kong using solid products, a professional team, and localized services, opening a new chapter where quality and craftsmanship parallel each other-basing ourselves in Hong Kong, connecting with the Mainland, and radiating globally!"</div><div><br></div><div>Mr. Ken So, Sales Manager of the Hong Kong Region, Huafuli, Addresses Three Industry Pain Points, Eliminates Northbound Travel Hassles, and Sets a HK$100 Million Sales Target</div><div><br></div><div>In an exclusive media interview, Mr. Ken So, Sales Manager of the Hong Kong Region, Huafuli, deeply analyzed the business logic and localized strategy behind the brand&#039;s entry into Hong Kong:</div><div>Eliminating Cross-border Travel Fatigue to Significantly Boost Deal Success Rates: Mr. So pointed out that local interior designers and homeowners were often limited to brochure samples or had to endure tiring trips to Mainland factories to view actual materials. "We established ourselves directly in the core area of Lockhart Road, Wan Chai, building a 2,800 sq. ft. high-spec exhibition hall. Designers can now bring clients at any time to view 1:1 physical large panels and finished door-wall-cabinet displays. The art gallery does not retail directly to homeowners but serves as a shared design base for Hong Kong designers and contractors, addressing eco-concerns on the spot and significantly improving local designers&#039; deal success rates."</div><div>Insisting on a 100% Direct-Sale Model with Unified National Pricing-"Not a Cent Added": Differentiating from traditional building material brands that rely on multi-tiered agents, Mr. So emphasized HUAFULI&#039;s commitment to a direct-sale system: "Whether in the Mainland or Hong Kong, HUAFULI is directly operated by the group, ensuring high consistency in product quality, after-sales service, and pricing. Although we have set up a top-tier showroom in the prime location of Wan Chai and hired a star spokesperson, the panel prices remain unified nationally with the Mainland-&#039;not a cent added&#039;-truly yielding benefits to local partners with sincerity."</div><div>Eco-friendly Panels Replacing Traditional Laminates; Setting a HK$100 Million Sales Target: Mr. So analyzed that eco-friendly decorative panels are in a golden growth period in Hong Kong, gradually replacing traditional fireproof laminates and veneers. "We see massive market potential, and HUAFULI has set a target of achieving HK$100 million in sales in Hong Kong within 3 to 5 years! The Hong Kong market is strict and aligned with international standards. We are using Hong Kong as a touchstone and strategic hub for adapting to global standards, and will further expand into more overseas markets in the future."</div><div>Strong Supply Chain Backing to Achieve "Zero Minimum Order, Next-Day Delivery" Express Fulfillment: Relying on six major production bases in the Mainland (totaling 600,000 square meters) and a network of 14 branch warehouses, HUAFULI breaks the traditional months-long waiting period for imported building materials. It provides the local industry with a localized, one-stop delivery service characterized by "zero minimum order, zero inventory requirements, same-day response, and next-day delivery," greatly alleviating the financial and warehousing pressures on local partners.</div><div><br></div><div>Global Debut of German-Japanese Nano-Microcrystalline EBH Technology; Dual Ultimate Eco-certifications Lead New Trends in HK Building Materials</div><div><br></div><div>With Hong Kong&#039;s increasingly stringent requirements for green buildings, indoor air quality, and ESG standards, HUAFULI brings a high-specification product system suitable for the Hong Kong environment:</div><div>Hong Kong Debut of the German-Japanese EBH Series: Combining German plasma spraying and Japanese precision light-curing technologies, this series boasts top-tier performance across six dimensions: anti-fingerprint (90% reduction), scratch resistance (2H+ hardness), anti-mildew and antibacterial (99.5%+), and yellowing resistance. Its surface presents an advanced, luxurious 5? matte gloss, perfectly adapting to Hong Kong&#039;s humid climate.</div><div>Dual Highest Eco-certifications: "ENF Grade + JIS JAS F4-star": Showcasing top-tier eco-friendly panels (including Particle Board, Multi-layer Plywood, and Oriented Strand Board, etc.) that have comprehensively passed the dual certifications of the national highest environmental standard "ENF Grade" (formaldehyde emission &#8804;0.025 mg/m?) and Japan&#039;s highest environmental standard "F&#9734;&#9734;&#9734;&#9734; (F4-Star)."</div><div>Recognized by the "Hong Kong ECO Mark": The products have obtained the Hong Kong Green Label Scheme certification, achieving extremely low TVOC and formaldehyde emissions from the source. This directly addresses the pain points of Hong Kong&#039;s indoor air quality and aligns with the high standards for ESG inspection by developers.</div><div>Patented Laser Edge Banding 2.0 and colour matched door-wall-cabinet system: The entire series comes standard with the original factory&#039;s seamless laser edge banding technology, achieving panel edge banding in-one. HUAFULI particularly advocates the "Integrated Door-Wall-Cabinet" concept, where interior doors, wall panels, and custom cabinets are all made from the same original factory batch of substrates with identical colors and textures. This achieves zero color difference and a highly unified whole-house aesthetics with perfectly extended textures, providing unparalleled one-stop quality solutions when paired with original factory moldings and hardware components.</div><div><br></div><div>Star Spokesperson Mr. Wayne Lai Yiu Cheung Attends the Event, Heavily Endorses Dual Ultimate Eco-friendliness at Contract Signing</div><div><br></div><div>The atmosphere at the grand opening ceremony was vibrant, with traditional auspicious lion eye-dotting and lion dance performances kicking off the splendid prologue for the "HUAFULI Hong Kong Home Art Gallery." Brand Spokesperson Mr. Wayne Lai Yiu Cheung conducted a grand contract signing ceremony on site and joined management guests for a celebratory group toast and photo.</div><div><br></div><div>Hashtag: #HUAFULI</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">About HUAFULI</span></div><div>Founded in 1995, Huali Shares was listed on the main board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2017 (Stock Code: 603038.SH).

The idea of changing the world may seem daunting. Yet social responsibility often starts with small, everyday actions on campus and in the local community: volunteering, supporting community initiatives, embracing sustainability or extending kindness to those around us. Meaningful change is built one step at a time: start locally while thinking globally, using knowledge and talent to contribute to the common good."</div><div><br></div><div>Professor Lo invited students to actively participate in the journey of shaping CUHK&#039;s future trajectory, adding that their curiosity, integrity, fresh ideas and willingness to contribute would play a vital role in the University&#039;s development.</div><div><br></div><div>https://www.cuhk.edu.hk/</div><div>https://www.linkedin.com/school/13045</div><div>https://x.com/cuhkofficial</div><div>https://www.facebook.com/CUHKofficial</div><div>https://www.instagram.com/thechineseuniversityofhongkong/</div><div>https://www.youtube.com/user/CUHKchannel</div><div>Hashtag: #CUHK #Inauguration #Flag-raising #newacademicyear #Flag-guard #uniform</div><div><br></div><div>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.</div></div>   ]]></description>

This approach reflects ALL Accor&#039;s ambition to turn its hotel ecosystem, its partner arenas and its loyalty program - home to more than 120 million members worldwide - into true gateways to its members&#039; passions.</div><div><br></div><div>After Paris, this concept will come to life in several destinations around the world, through new encounters between artists, fans and musical universes, further enriching the catalog of more than 7,300 Limitless Experiences. An Accor loyalty program offering that allows members to use their Reward points to enjoy unique and exclusive experiences, already offered by ALL Accor in over 140 cities worldwide.</div><div><br></div><div>*An auction system that allows ALL Accor members to use their Reward points to participate in the experience.</div><div><br></div><div>*Among the partner arenas: Accor Arena (Paris), Afterpay Arena (Sydney), Wembley Arena (London), Allianz Parque and SalaRai (S?o Paulo).</div><div><br></div><div>GET READY WITH ALL ACCOR : WHEN THE EMOTION OF THE CONCERT BEGINS LONG BEFORE THE STAGE</div><div><br></div><div>?Get Ready With Me,? hair & make-up, outfit choices, playlists, shared content, reunions with friends? For a new generation of fans, the pre-concert has become a genuine ritual. The excitement starts well before the doors open and lingers long after the last song. The concert is no longer just a musical rendezvous: it is a full-fledged experience, one that is prepared for, shared and made to last. This shift reflects a deeper change in how we relate to live experiences: the emotion no longer lies solely in the time of the show, but in everything that makes it more intense, more collective and more memorable.</div><div><br></div><div>WELCOME TO THE < ENDORPHIN ECONOMY ></div><div><br></div><div>In its 2026 report on experiential travel, produced with Globetrender based on an international study of 4,300 travelers across nine countries, ALL Accor identifies the Endorphin Economy as one of the phenomena redefining travelers&#039; expectations around experience.</div><div><br></div><div>Its principle: seeking out emotional highs to live and to share. 89% of travelers surveyed believe live events deliver a ?natural high? strong enough to justify a trip, while 50% consider living a unique moment to be one of the most meaningful aspects of an experience lived while traveling. The concert thus becomes a destination in itself, but also a succession of micro-moments that build the emotion: fromthe first preparations to reunions with friends, all the way to that instant when the crowd rises as one.</div><div><br></div><div>For ALL Accor, this shift opens a new perspective on how music is experienced and shared: collective emotion is no longer built solely in front of the stage, but progressively takes shape around it, and hotels become genuine gathering places where this collective euphoria is prepared and shared. It is this rising momentum of the ?pre-show? that ?Get Ready With ALL Accor? sets out to tell with KATSEYE in Paris.</div><div><br></div><div>THE<GET READY WITH KATSEYE>EXPERIENCE BY ALL ACCOR</div><div><br></div><div>For two days, ALL Accor transforms a room in an iconic Parisian hotel into a living, expressive space for both the artists and their fans. Designed as a pre-show playground, this space, entirely reimagined for the occasion, will allow guests to get ready, come together, and share truly privileged moments before the artists take the stage.</div><div><br></div><div>Inspired by the world of KATSEYE, the activations on offer turn hospitality into an experience in its own right, unfolding in two parts:</div><div><br></div><div>SEPTEMBER 8 - TOTAL IMMERSION AT THE HOTEL</div><div><br></div><div>*A suite inspired by the world of KATSEYE, entirely reimagined for the occasion and designed as an immersive space at the heart of the experience.</div><div>*A Glam Room in KATSEYE&#039;s colors, designed as a pre-concert prep space with three beauty stations: Nail Art, Tooth Gems, and hair coloring.</div><div>*An exclusive meet-and-greet with the KATSEYE artists, offered to a select group of ALL Accor members as well as contest winners.</div><div><br></div><div>SEPTEMBER 9 - BACKSTAGE ACCESS LIKE NEVER BEFORE</div><div><br></div><div>*The most exclusive experience of the journey: a backstage tour of the Accor Arena and the chance to step onto the stage before the concert and before doors open. A lucky few will get to discover the Accor Arena&#039;s backstage: ALL Accor loyalty program members who used their Rewards points to gain access, as well as winners of a contest held on ALL Accor&#039;s social media.</div><div>*Invitations to the September 9 concert, including a VIP box experience and access to the variousspaces of the Accor Arena.</div><div><br></div><div>"At ALL Accor, we&#039;re seeing a profound shift in how we experience our passions. Today, the experience is no longer limited to the main event: it begins with anticipation, with rituals, with encounters, and with all those small moments that build the emotion. With KATSEYE, we wanted to turn that anticipation into a full- fledged experience and show everything that hospitality, beyond a simple hotel stay, can bring to music even before the artists take the stage." Mehdi Hemici, Chief Loyalty & E-Commerce Officer, Accor</div><div><br></div><div>EXCLUSIVITY AS THE NEW CURRENCY OF EXPERIENCE</div><div><br></div><div>In a world where concert images are instantly shared, reposted and seen by millions, what truly becomes rare is no longer the image of the show, but access to the inaccessible.</div><div><br></div><div>Sharing a few minutes with the artists, discovering their world before the concert, seeing what happens behind the scenes?This is the ?money can&#039;t buy? dimension of experience that ALL Accor reserves for its members, across a portfolio of more than 45 brands, including Raffles, Pullman, ibis, Sofitel and MGallery.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>This campaign once again brings ALL Accor&#039;s promise to life: giving its members far more than a stay by opening the doors to rare and privileged moments, turning loyalty into a passport to the extraordinary.</div><div><br></div><div>------</div><div><br></div><div>About ALL Accor: ALL Accor is the booking platform and loyalty program embodying the Accor group&#039;s promise, during and beyond the hotel stay.

Meanwhile, the dramatic limestone formations and cave temples of the surrounding Kinta Valley invite visitors to combine cultural discovery with nature excursions and outdoor exploration.</div><div><br></div><div>Under its new identity as Dusit Princess Ipoh, the established 268-room property - owned by Plenitude Berhad, a Bursa Malaysia-listed group with interests in property development, property investment, and hospitality - is ideally positioned to help travellers discover the city&#039;s heritage, culinary scene, and natural attractions, while offering the comfort and flexibility required for city breaks, extended stays, business travel, and events.</div><div><br></div><div>Set beside the Perak Turf Club, a long-established centre for thoroughbred racing, the hotel is less than five minutes by car from Ipoh city centre.
