Taipei – September 15, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) – PopChill, Taiwan’s leading luxury resale platform, today announced the completion of its Series A funding round, raising US$3 million. This brings the company’s total funding to over US$9 million. The round was led by Darwin Ventures. Other participating investors include ITIC, AVA Angels, Taipei Angels (TA), and Dream coFounder. The new capital will be used to accelerate the development and application of AI technologies—including AI Agents, intelligent recommendation systems, and automated fraud prevention – aimed at upgrading the entire buyer and seller experience. Strong Growth Momentum, Cementing Market Leadership In 2024, PopChill’s transaction volume grew 120% year-over-year, reflecting robust market demand. With an average order value of US$900, the platform continues to demonstrate the deep potential of luxury resale. Cross-border transactions now account for nearly 20% of total GMV, with a solid foothold in Hong Kong and a growing global presence. The platform currently lists more than 100,000 luxury items, securing its position as Taiwan’s largest luxury resale marketplace. “Our vision is to use technology to solve inefficiencies in the luxury resale market,” said Andy Kuo, CEO of PopChill. “In the era of generative AI, PopChill is uniquely positioned to further enhance matching efficiency between buyers and sellers.” AI-Powered Innovation to Enhance User Experience At the heart of PopChill’s vision lies a belief that technology can make luxury resale seamless and trustworthy. Guided by this vision, the company is actively developing a new generation of AI tools designed to accompany both buyers and sellers throughout their journeys. The idea is to give buyers a personal shopping companion—an assistant that can one day quickly guide them to the item they have been dreaming of, shortening the path from discovery to purchase. On the seller side, PopChill is envisioning an AI partner that simplifies the listing process and ensures that details such as descriptions and categorization can be handled with ease. These initiatives are still in progress, but PopChill has already begun laying the groundwork by adopting Google Cloud Vertex AI to enhance efficiency and strengthen conversion rates. Rather than treating AI as a buzzword, the company is deliberately weaving it into its future roadmap—building toward a marketplace that is smarter, more intuitive, and more human-centered. Building a Complete Resale Ecosystem Since its early days, PopChill successfully overcame the “cold start” challenge and built a comprehensive C2C ecosystem. In addition to peer-to-peer resale, the company recently introduced a consignment model to serve sellers who prefer not to handle listings themselves. The model has already shown early success since its mid-year launch. Looking ahead, PopChill plans to establish brick-and-mortar stores to deepen online-offline integration, strengthen brand trust, and broaden consumer awareness—steps toward building a fully integrated luxury resale ecosystem.

Shenzhen, September 5–6, 2025, The Sixth China Private Entrepreneurs Gala, hosted by Bosum Institute of Management Science and Bosum Association, and co-hosted by Shenzhen Yangwang Auto, was successfully held in Shenzhen. With the theme of “Breaking Boundaries · Winning with Intelligence,” the event featured 14 keynote speeches and one high-level roundtable discussion, attracting over 8,000 entrepreneurs from across the country to explore the survival paths and growth opportunities for private enterprises under critical topics such as artificial intelligence, global expansion, manufacturing upgrades, and brand building. This year’s gala not only brought together leading voices from economics, technology, industry practices, and capital markets, but also facilitated cross-disciplinary dialogue and intellectual exchange, helping entrepreneurs regain confidence and direction in an era full of uncertainty. The event gathered distinguished guests from government, industry, academia, and research, presenting a feast of ideas through interdisciplinary integration. Guest speakers included Liu Shijin, former Deputy Director of the Development Research Center of the State Council, Vice Chairman of the Economic Affairs Committee of the 13th CPPCC, and Chief Advisor of the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development; Dr. Ding Lei, AI specialist and author of Generative Artificial Intelligence and AI Thinking; Yan Yan, Founding Managing Partner of SAIF Partners; Peng Jun, Founder and CEO of Pony.ai; Du Xinfeng, Vice President and Industry Director of Unitree Robotics; Huang Zhaolin, Senior Vice President of Rokid; and Xu Changdong, Chairman of the US-China Investment Fund, Chairman of Laiskcom (Beijing) Aviation Technology Co., Ltd., and known as the “Father of the Low-Altitude Economy.” From the consumer and branding sectors, notable attendees included Liu Xiaobin, CMO of MINISO Group; Feng Dagang, CEO of 36Kr; Zhang Chun, President of OATLY Greater China; Wang Pu, Co-Founder of Genki Forest; Ma Jun, Partner of Cathay Capital; Jiang Nanchun, Founder and Chairman of Focus Media; and Hu Xiaoqing, General Manager of Yangwang Auto. Also present were leading scholars and thought leaders such as Liu Qing, Distinguished Zijiang Professor at East China Normal University; Gao Jianhua, former Marketing Director of Apple China and former Assistant President/CKO of HP China; Liang Ning, product strategy expert and bestselling author of The Real Demand; and Zhang Qi, new business architect and distinguished mentor at Bosum. In his opening address, Zeng Renwei, Co-Founder and Dean of the Bosum Institute of Management Science, noted that in today’s complex macroeconomic environment, private enterprises face multiple uncertainties across policy, economy, society, and technology. Against this backdrop, the gala proposed the action concept of “Breaking Boundaries · Winning with Intelligence.” “Breaking boundaries” means transcending industry, institutional, and organizational limits to embrace digitalization, intelligence, and globalization; while “winning with intelligence” emphasizes using wisdom and strategic foresight to turn insights into tangible results through agile action. From a PEST analysis perspective, Zeng outlined three future growth curves for private enterprises: productization of AI, industrial intelligence, and branding plus globalization. Given insufficient domestic demand, he stressed that growth must come from brand building, product upgrades, and international expansion. He also emphasized that entrepreneurs should not only pursue business growth but also balance career and life, ensuring long-term passion and vitality. At this gala, Bosum officially unveiled the Bosum AI Agent, an innovative intelligent system that deeply integrates artificial intelligence with enterprise management practices, offering strategic decision-making support, operational optimization, and sales recommendations. The first modules launched include the Strategy Agent, Operations Agent, and Sales Agent. The Strategy Agent helps enterprises analyze macro trends, optimize development paths, and provide forward-looking strategies; the Operations Agent focuses on internal processes, resource allocation, and efficiency improvements; while the Sales Agent optimizes market expansion, customer management, and sales strategies to drive growth. Zhang Jiancai, Head of the Product Business Group at Bosum Institute, highlighted that management inherently combines science, art, and craftsmanship, but traditional management education often overemphasizes “science” while neglecting individual differences and practical complexity. Bosum’s approach is to shift education from pursuing the “best answer” to finding the “most suitable answer.” In this process, AI coaches act as tools for “intellectual equity,” serving as advisors to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), helping them quickly obtain high-quality solutions, shorten decision-making cycles, and embed the learning model of “anticipate–learn–practice–apply–link” into enterprise operations. The release of the Bosum AI Agent represents a significant milestonein empowering private enterprises with AI, showcasing Bosum’s innovation in technology-driven knowledge services. Through this AI system, entrepreneurs can more efficiently gain strategic insights, integrate industry expertise, accelerate learning, and create sustainable growth momentum in today’s complex business landscape. Yan Yan, Founding Managing Partner of SAIF Asia Investment Fund, emphasized in his speech that in the past, Chinese companies largely relied on “imported models” and “1-to-N” imitation-based expansion. But in today’s context of tightening China-U.S. relations and global supply chain restructuring, China must increasingly focus on “0-to-1” original innovation. Dr. Ding Lei delivered a keynote titled “Beyond the Technology Dividend: How SMEs Can Leverage AI,” stressing that the AI era requires a new mindset from entrepreneurs. They must not only be business experts but also understand the underlying logic of data and models, treating data and intelligent agents as new factors of production. Only in this way can enterprises achieve true intelligent transformation and reconstruction. Going global was a recurring theme and a major focus of the roundtable forum “Globalization in Practice: Brand Growth, Localization, and Long-Term Survival.” Guests including Feng Dagang (CEO of 36Kr), Wang Pu (Co-Founder of Genki Forest), Zhang Chun (President of OATLY Greater China), and Ma Jun (Partner of Cathay Capital) exchanged insights on brand innovation, cross-cultural adaptation, and capital support. Their consensus: overseas expansion is not optional but a necessity. However, success requires patience, perseverance, and determination. Chinese enterprises must establish long-term strategies, build brand and supply chain moats, and only then can they secure an unshakable position in fierce international competition. Jiang Nanchun, Founder and Chairman of Focus Media, offered an in-depth analysis in his talk “How Brands Can Win in China’s New Ten-Year Cycle.” He noted that for Chinese brands to stand out, they must achieve either being “first” or “only”—either the leading choice in a category or the pioneer of a new one driven by technological and consumer trends. Truly powerful brands succeed not through short-term sales bursts, but by securing long-term mindshare and societal consensus to become public brands. Hu Xiaoqing, General Manager of Yangwang Auto, emphasized that the essence of premium brands lies in “ultimate technology” and “ultimate product strength.” This is the core competitiveness for companies seeking high-end and global positioning. The key is to leverage core strengths, maintain confidence in products and culture, and win global recognition through Chinese stories. Product strategy expert Liang Ning pointed out that the industrial-era formula of “efficiency × scale = wealth,” which shaped business logic for over 200 years, is losing its power. In today’s environment of oversupply and homogenization, optimizing efficiency alone does not guarantee competitiveness. The real key is whether a company can create and manage its own “scarcity.” Zhang Qi, new business architect and Bosum distinguished mentor, highlighted that strategy should focus on current insights rather than blindly chasing the future. Entrepreneurs should pay attention to three key variables—policy, technology, and demographics—to seize opportunities and achieve sustainable growth for both business and personal development. With 14 high-quality keynote speeches and one premium roundtable forum, the Sixth Bosum Private Enterprise Gala concluded successfully. It provided entrepreneurs with systematic insights spanning macro policy, cutting-edge technology, capital investment, industrial upgrading, and brand building, offering strong guidance for navigating today’s complex business landscape. Looking ahead, Bosum will continue to drive professional and technology-based platforms for dialogue and learning, helping Chinese private enterprises enhance management capabilities, ignite innovation, and accelerate digital and global strategies. In a rapidly changing market, private enterprises will move forward with resilience and innovation, embracing new growth opportunities while contributing to high-quality economic development and societal value creation.

2025年9月7日 - (SeaPRwire) - 9 月 6日，开放对话项目专家会议在滨海边疆区俄罗斯国家中心分支机构举行。多位国际权威专家参与了此次关于贸易与互联在新现实中的转型讨论。本次活动延续了 2025 年 4 月在莫斯科举行的首次开放对话“世界的未来：全球增长新平台”的主题。 印度 Jawaharlal Nehru University 国际研究学院副教授 Gulshan Sachdeva 在开放对话中表示，今天的世界多数国家（Global Majority）已不再是“第三世界”，而是新的政治、经济与智力发展中心。 “如果我们谈论世界多数国家和全球南方，如今的情况已完全不同。我们在战略、经济、技术乃至智力方面都实现了增长。这些国家现在主导并将继续主导贸易、投资、技术、气候议题等。即便仅看 BRICS，其 GDP 增长率已达 4%，到 2030 年这一份额将超过 50%。”Gulshan Sachdeva 表示。 技术创新（如数字支付、人工智能）展示了世界多数国家的潜力。但关键挑战是如何在没有西方主导的情况下组织联合架构与互联基础设施，副教授强调道。 他还指出，将机构、贸易机制与货币作为“武器”会侵蚀稳定的世界秩序。Gulshan Sachdeva 坚信，BRICS 及其他框架内需要替代性解决方案。 HSE University 副校长、BRICS-Russia Expert Council 负责人、俄罗斯 Women's Twenty 特使 Victoria Panova 认为，西方伙伴仍然保持一种不受约束的姿态，并视自己为唯一的决定性玩家。她指出，西方机构的金融杠杆——美元支付系统、伦敦保险体系、对集装箱航运的控制——实质上赋予了他们优势，并形成了“主导对话”的幻觉。 “在这种背景下，BRICS 的作用确实无可替代。尽管西方同行试图分化该组织，BRICS 已经证明了其相关性和在经济、金融以及三大合作支柱上提出新倡议的能力。各国间的相互依存依然存在，包括与西方、欧盟、美国的关系，但一种更加多极化的新经济正在形成。看看数据：自首届峰会以来，BRICS 内部贸易额已增长 3.5 倍——这是参与国积极合作、共同促进增长、减少对西方依赖的客观证据。”她强调。 BRICS 国家正在创建新的机构与机制，帮助成员加强经济独立。其中一个项目是 contingent reserve arrangement（应急储备安排）。Victoria Panova 表示，该项目仍需完善，但已展现出联盟多元化金融工具、减少对西方结构依赖的意图。 “BRICS 的 New Development Bank（新开发银行） 已经启动了实际举措：已发行人民币和兰特债券，卢比债券正在筹备中。目前该银行约 30% 的业务以本币进行。一项约 350 亿美元的投资计划旨在缩小全球南方国家的基础设施差距并支持其长期发展。”她强调。 Victoria Panova 补充道，BRICS 正逐步实现国际架构的平衡，不介入制裁或反制裁的逻辑，而是通过实际举措帮助各国实施其发展计划并保护公民利益。 开放对话的参与者还讨论了如何吸引投资进入 International North-South Transport Corridor（国际南北运输走廊）、BRICS+ 线路、大陆铁路项目，以及加强 EAEU、非洲与 ASEAN 联系的国际物流挑战与措施。 Infra Projects LLC 管理合伙人 Alexey Bezborodov 就“提升 BRICS 国家物流互联的新方案”发表讲话。他指出，世界已经进入集装箱化时代，集装箱将成为全球非能源领域贸易的基本单位。这位专家还表示，俄罗斯完全有能力在 BRICS 内部发挥关键的中转作用：尤其是通过 Trans-Siberian Railway（西伯利亚大铁路） 和 North-South 通道 的基础设施，对中国和印度具有战略意义。 “如今，碎片化、集装箱化、局部经济增长和电子商务使我们能够说，地理认知、货物运输速度、最终交付方式以及生产合作模式都在发生变化。本质上，基础设施与物流领域正在发生一场静悄悄的革命。”Alexey Bezborodov 表示。 同时，他强调，如今的基础设施建设“消耗各国大量资源”，而新建或现代化的设施并非总是耐用，往往在 5–10 年内就会耗尽潜力。 “因此，我们需要考虑新的运输原则——基于小单元、新型管道式货物运输、新物理学与新型能源。”Alexey Bezborodov 指出。 这位专家强调，俄罗斯已有多条贸易与物流线路正在成功发展，包括 Northern Sea Route（北方航道） 与 Transarctic Transport Corridor（跨北极运输走廊）。还有一个重要的联合投资项目——North Siberian Railway（北西伯利亚铁路），通过新增连接线，可连通 October、Northern、Sverdlovsk 与 West Siberian 铁路。 “首先，我们必须继续发展现有的经典标准中转线路——从中国经哈萨克斯坦、俄罗斯、白俄罗斯至欧洲。它如今已存在并为所有参与方带来收益。”他指出。

Singapore – sureWin Entertainment, Asia's top-rated online entertainment platform, is proud to announce its official sponsorship of the highly anticipated Daesung "D's Wave" Asia Tour stop in Singapore. Scheduled for 2 August 2025 at 8 PM, the concert will be held at Arena @ EXPO, a recently upgraded 6,700-capacity venue inside Singapore EXPO Hall 7. The event marks Daesung's long-awaited return to the international stage, and sureWin's involvement ensures fans will receive more than just a concert—they'll experience an unforgettable night of connection, celebration, and surprise. Daesung, a globally beloved member of BIGBANG, returns with renewed energy to celebrate the release of his solo EP "D's Wave," which dropped in April 2025. Fans can expect a deeply personal setlist featuring his signature emotional ballads alongside energetic new material that captures his evolution as an artist. The Singapore concert is expected to draw fans from across Southeast Asia, especially from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. sureWin Entertainment is delivering a one-of-a-kind exclusive fan experience by offering a limited number of attendees the chance to take part in a VIP group photo session with Daesung himself. For many fans, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime, dream-come-true moment that transforms a live concert into a lasting memory. This level of access highlights sureWin's commitment to going beyond sponsorship and turning fan engagement into something deeply personal. This partnership also coincides with sureWin Entertainment's sponsorship of the Black Eyed Peas "30 Years Strong" concert in Singapore, which takes place later in the same month. With back-to-back collaborations involving both a K-pop top star and a global pop sensation, sureWin is setting a rare industry precedent. No other platform in the region has delivered this level of dual engagement within the same month. "sure to win, safe to play"—sureWin's signature message—now extends from the digital world to the physical stage. The brand is quickly redefining what it means to be a lifestyle entertainment company in Southeast Asia. Whether through exclusive ticket perks, cultural partnerships, or unique fan experiences, sureWin connects emotion, entertainment, and access like no other. As part of its broader cultural strategy, sureWin has consistently supported events such as the Kulit Wayang Cultural Festival, Neon Music Festival, and the Honest Award 2025. Each sponsorship adds to a growing portfolio of real-world activations that reflect the brand's goal of building meaningful bridges between fans, creators, and community. sureWin's dual August sponsorships showcase its multi-genre reach and cultural fluency. While Daesung offers fans a warm, emotional, and intimate connection, the Black Eyed Peas will deliver an electrifying, futuristic fan experience complete with a themed dress code and exclusive ticketing benefits. These two contrasting events exemplify the diversity of the brand's outreach and the care it takes in designing unforgettable moments for each audience segment. Looking ahead, sureWin Entertainment is also confirmed as a sponsor of It's The Ship 2025—Asia's largest music festival at sea. This marks the next phase of its expansion, bringing together live music, luxury travel, and exclusive experiences in one of the most dynamic fan settings imaginable. Fans attending Daesung's concert are encouraged to follow sureWin Entertainment's social media platforms for behind-the-scenes content, contest announcements, and real-time coverage from the event. With surprise elements planned throughout the evening, the experience promises to go beyond music and into immersive storytelling.

Singapore - sureWin Entertainment, Asia's top-rated online entertainment platform, proudly announces its official sponsorship of the Black Eyed Peas' "30 Years Strong" concert, set to take place on Monday, 25 August 2025 at 8 PM at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. This event follows closely on the heels of sureWin's partnership with K-pop icon Daesung earlier the same month, highlighting the brand's rare and prestigious involvement with two global music powerhouses back-to-back. This dual collaboration underscores sureWin Entertainment's continued growth beyond digital platforms into cultural impact. As the brand lives up to its slogan "sure to win, safe to play," these partnerships demonstrate its dedication to delivering extraordinary real-world experiences to fans across Asia. With both Western and Asian music icons on board, sureWin is reinforcing its commitment to diverse, cross-cultural celebration.

With will.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Taboo leading the charge, fans can expect immersive visuals, powerful crowd interaction, and non-stop nostalgia in a stadium-ready spectacle that bridges generations. This show marks one of the most significant solo performances the group has brought to Singapore in recent years, and fan anticipation is running high across Southeast Asia. The Singapore Indoor Stadium, with its configurable capacity of up to 12,000 attendees, provides the perfect venue for such a monumental celebration. Tickets will be available through SISTIC in multiple tiers, with official pricing and package announcements expected soon. As part of its sponsorship, sureWin Entertainment is introducing an exclusive fan experience themed around the group's futuristic identity. Attendees will be invited to embrace a Futuristic Dress Code and enjoy curated giveaways, digital surprises, and special ticketing perks for lucky fans. This activation is designed to turn the concert into a visual and interactive celebration, blending music with fashion, technology, and culture. "We're honored to work with Black Eyed Peas during this milestone tour," said a spokesperson from sureWin Entertainment. "Together with our Daesung sponsorship earlier this month, we're showing what it means to deliver exclusive fan experiences and dream-come-true moments across genres and generations." Earlier in August, sureWin Entertainment partnered with Daesung's 'D's Wave' concert at Arena @ EXPO, offering select fans a rare VIP group photo session with the K-pop star—a dream experience that deepened emotional connection between artist and audience. The two concerts represent contrasting styles but a unified message: premium entertainment for Asian fans, delivered by a trusted platform. sureWin Entertainment has also been behind key events like the Kulit Wayang Cultural Festival, Neon Music Festival, and the Honest Award 2025. These cultural touchpoints reflect the company's values of creative excellence and safe, engaging fan platforms. By supporting both traditional and pop culture, sureWin continues to lead with purpose and community-minded partnerships. Looking ahead, sureWin Entertainment has confirmed its upcoming sponsorship of It's The Ship 2025, Asia's largest festival at sea.

With each sponsorship, sureWin Entertainment sets a new benchmark for how entertainment brands can connect with their audiences. Through exclusive access, immersive fan activations, and partnerships with global icons, the company is shaping a future where entertainment meets engagement in unforgettable ways.

Local social media has erupted over an extraordinary story that has captured the attention of thousands. A Gen Z player, known only as "V," turned a modest RM7,000 stake into a jaw-dropping RM2.3 MILLION on Asia's top-rated online entertainment platform, sureWin — and successfully walked away with every cent in cash. For years, online players and observers alike have debated one question: Can you really cash out such massive winnings from an online platform? This story has delivered the loudest answer yet. Photos and videos of the cash payout quickly went viral, showing bundles of money packed into a suitcase with the sureWin logo. "First time seeing someone actually cash out online winnings in full," one comment read, echoing the disbelief shared by many. A Bold Move That Changed Everything During his streak, V placed a single bet of RM500,000 — an amount equivalent to the price of a condominium unit in Malaysia. That wager became the most memorable moment of the run, one that set him apart and solidified his story as legend among peers. "When I clicked confirm on that bet, my heart was racing. It's not every day you put down the price of a condo in one go," V laughed. "But when it paid off, I knew this was something I'd never forget." From Skepticism to Belief In an interview, V admitted that he was deeply skeptical about whether the platform would ever honor such a large payout. "Honestly, I never believed an online platform would pay out. But when I held RM2.3M in cash in front of me, I was shaking all over," he recalled. To his surprise, the process was flawless. sureWin's team immediately contacted him to verify the withdrawal, then arranged a secure and transparent handover of the winnings. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless — proving that not only can jackpots be won, but they can also be fully withdrawn. Readers can also click here to watch the exclusive video interview on Instagram or watch it on YouTube for the winner’s full reaction. sureWin: Asia's No.1 Top-Rated Platform sureWin is not just any platform — it is widely recognized as Asia's most top-rated online entertainment brand, with over 1,500 genuine reviews on Trustpilot and an average rating of 4.5 stars. The platform holds a legitimate overseas license and has built its reputation by sponsoring major international events across Malaysia and Singapore, including the Alan Walker World Tour, Unstop Music Festival, Neon Festival, as well as partnerships with BIGBANG Daesung LIVE in Singapore and the Black Eyed Peas Singapore 2025 concert. This record-breaking payout is further proof of sureWin's promise to deliver on its slogan: Easy to Win, Stable, and Worry-Free. A Cultural Shift Among Gen Z Industry observers suggest this story is about more than just a massive jackpot. It reflects a wider cultural shift: for Millennials and Gen Z, online platforms represent not only gaming, but also a form of social culture, lifestyle, and — in rare cases — a life-changing opportunity. sureWin's Official Response "This win is not only life-changing for the player, but it is also a milestone for the industry. It proves our dedication to transparency, security, and hassle-free payouts. At sureWin, we stand by our promise to be 'Easy to Win, Stable, and Worry-Free.' That means every member can play with confidence, knowing that their experience — from gameplay to withdrawal — is safe and reliable." Conclsion From RM7K to RM2.3M, this real-life story has captured the imagination of young audiences across the region. For the winner, it's a life-changing moment. For sureWin, it's another powerful statement: the brand remains Asia's most trusted name in online entertainment — where players can truly Play Safe, Withdraw Easy, and Win Big.

Global manufacturing faces mounting pressures: saturated markets, shrinking profit margins, and rising labor and raw material costs. Traditional growth models are losing their edge. Globally, manufacturers are caught in an "involution storm" of cost pressures, intensified competition, and growth bottlenecks. The question now is clear: how can new technologies reshape core competitiveness and unlock the next wave of growth? AI Redefines Management Systems: Nine Major Changes in Manufacturing In the AI era, manufacturing management is being radically transformed. Enterprises should focus on high-quality plant development, building support systems—covering finance, human resources, processes, and IT—and operational systems that create value across the entire value chain, from R&D to marketing, supply, manufacturing, and services. Digital technologies empower every link, driving enterprise transformation and innovation. Change 1: From Reverse Engineering to User-Driven R&D Manufacturers are rapidly shifting from reverse engineering to R&D driven by user needs. AI is central to this transformation—generative AI can synthesize complex requirements and propose designs, greatly boosting efficiency. For example, Enpower Electric invests 7–8% of revenue in R&D, achieving a 50% reduction in product size and a 32% increase in power density, resulting in significant revenue and margin growth—clear evidence of the high returns from focused R&D investment. Change 2: From Static to Dynamic Planning Traditionally, manufacturers relied on fixed forecasts to create production plans. However, amid personalized demand and volatile macro environments, companies need a "rolling forecasting + production-sales collaboration" mechanism, adopting the "1 + 3 model" (1 month of confirmed orders + 3 months of forecast). This approach ensures long-cycle material supply while dynamically adjusting weekly production schedules. For example, after SLPT Automotive implemented Kingdee's dynamic refinement platform, planning efficiency increased by 50% and lead times were shortened by 30%. Change 3: From Mass Production to Flexible Manufacturing Traditional manufacturing focuses on large-scale, high-volume production. With increasingly diverse and personalized market demand, companies are shifting toward multi-product, small-batch production. This requires more adaptable production lines and encourages the adoption of modular, flexible equipment to meet rapidly changing production needs. Change 4: From Transactional Procurement to Collaborative Supply Networks Procurement is evolving from traditional transaction models to multi-stakeholder collaboration. Companies need to work closely with multiple suppliers, synchronizing sales forecasts, plans, and orders to respond rapidly. For example, OPPEIN has boosted supply chain efficiency and competitiveness through multi-level division of labor and specialized collaboration. Change 5: From Stockpiling Distribution to a Win-Win Channel Ecosystem Distribution is shifting from stockpiling to a symbiotic approach, where brands and distributors share profits and serve end customers together. Dayao Soda has leveraged Kingdee's digital platform to improve distributor efficiency, achieving a 10% annual penetration growth in southern China and improving the inventory-to-sales ratio. Change 6: Global Expansion—Tapping into Overseas Markets Globalization is a key growth strategy for manufacturers. Companies must address critical issues such as organizational design, financial and tax compliance, localization, and data security and privacy compliance. Kingdee has established overseas data centers in Singapore and other locations to help manufacturers navigate local operations and ensure data security and privacy compliance. Change 7: From Accounting-Based Finance to Strategic Business Partnership Finance is shifting from traditional accounting functions to a business partner to reduce costs and boost sales. For example, Intradin Group, a company specializing in the R&D and production of tools and equipment, used Kingdee's standard costing and management accounting solutions to cut production costs by 15% and boost sales by 17%. Change 8: From MRP to Enterprise Management AI (EMAI) Manufacturing is moving from traditional MRP (Material Requirements Planning) to a more intelligent EMAI (Enterprise Management AI) era. For instance, AI applications enable smart market insight, intelligent design, and material optimization in R&D; support intelligent troubleshooting and scheduling in production; and facilitate predictive analytics in marketing. Change 9: From Hierarchical Structures to Entrepreneurial Model Traditional manufacturers often revolve around the founder with functional structures. As they grow, companies need to adopt a partnership-based model, empowering more people to take ownership through business units, responsibility centers, or divisions. As the global economy rapidly reshapes, companies must innovate and transform to stay ahead. Digital transformation is no longer optional—it requires both cutting-edge technology and bold strategic action. On this journey, more enablers like Kingdee—grounded in proprietary technology and deeply engaged in real industry scenarios—are expected to help manufacturers advance toward a digital and global future.

Hunet Plus Co., Ltd. (CEO Hyukjin Cha), a company specializing in next-generation semiconductor and display materials, announced on Aug. 13th that it has secured Pre-Series B investment for entry into the U.S. market from global semiconductor-related companies, including strategic investors from Japan and Taiwan, as well as the Korean financial investor, ANDA Asia Ventures. In particular, this investment – secured at a time when US and Korea’s tariff issues in the semiconductor sector are coming to the forefront – marks a significant milestone, as it has attracted investment from leading investors from Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. The deal is expected to provide strong momentum not only for securing the original technology of ML-EUV® (Molecular Layer Assembled Extreme UltraViolet Technology, Process and Materials – a multilayer molecular film vacuum process-type photoresist for extreme ultraviolet lithography), but also for obtaining international patents to support market entry into the U.S., Japan and global markets. Furthermore, as one of the few Korean start-up companies to successfully attract foreign investment from Japan and Taiwan, Hunet Plus is expected to gain strong traction in expanding its markets while strengthening its global competitiveness. ML-EUV® is a next-generation total solution for EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography, encompassing vertically stacked molecular structures, manufacturing processes, and materials. Hunet Plus’ ML-EUV® has overcome the limitations of achieving ultra-high resolution (below 10 nm line width) and sub-2 nm line edge roughness (LER), which have been difficult to realize with existing methods such as: Second-generation chemical amplification resists (wet process, Chemical Amplification Resist) Third-generation inorganic nano-cluster-based resists (wet process, Nano Cluster Based Resist) Fourth-generation inorganic dry-process resists (dry process, Inorganic Precursor Resist) Hunet Plus’ ML-EUV® achieves world-class performance of ultra-high resolution below 10 nm and line edge roughness below 2 nm by using organic precursors and inorganic precursors at the molecular level, forming 10–20 nm ultra-thin multi-layered resist films through its proprietary Organic–Inorganic Molecular Layer Deposition Process® – an innovative dry molecular-layer stacking method. Through this strategic investment, Hunet Plus has formally launched commercialization efforts for ML-EUV®. Based on the world’s highest-performing ML-EUV®, the company plans to jointly commercialize ML-EUV® equipment and processes for dry processing with leading global semiconductor equipment manufacturers, while also supplying core organic and inorganic process materials for ML-EUV®-related semiconductor processes in partnership with global materials companies. In doing so, Hunet Plus aims to position itself as a key player in the semiconductor materials, components, and equipment sector. Hyukjin Cha, CEO of Hunet Plus, stated: “In the global semiconductor market, national borders no longer matter. In the near future, technologies and products like our ML-EUV® – innovative and market-leading – will be the basis for global companies to collaborate and build ecosystems that dominate the market and ensure sustainability. We anticipate additional USD 10 Million follow-on investments from our existing shareholders as well as other global companies, including in the U.S., and will work with local clients to build unique and sustainable ecosystem.” Haesun Kim, Senior Executive Director of HunetPlus, who played a pivotal role in leading the successful domestic and overseas fundraising, drew on more than 25 years of professional experience in international finance and foreign capital attraction, commented: “Although the past two years have been a very challenging period for Hunet Plus – requiring not only navigating detailed and rigorous due diligence imposed by top-tier international investors but also had to lead strategic negotiations – it has been deeply rewarding. In particular, despite a difficult investment climate as well as attracting interest from potential investors to one of the top level industries in the world, this has become a meaningful success story made possible by the organic cooperation with HunetPlus executives.” Cho Namhoon, CEO of K-Ground Ventures, an existing investor and the operator of Scale-Up TIPS who provided behind-the-scenes support for this investment, said: “Even in Korea’s challenging environment for bold investments in original technology, we had a strong belief in Hunet Plus’ global-standard R&D capabilities. Through the Hongneung Advanced Science & Technology Commercialization Fund, we took the bold step of making an early-stage investment, followed by support for subsequent fundraising, reinvestment through the Innovation IP Fund, and additional backing via Scale-Up TIPS. This long-term investment strategy has brought significant results. In particular, the attracting investment from renowned global investors is expected to support U.S. market entry and lead to further follow-on investments, ultimately building a sustainable global supply ecosystem for Korean semiconductor technology through joint Korea–U.S. R&D, production, and marketing.” Meanwhile, on August 6 (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump, at an Apple facility investment announcement event, stated, “We will impose 100% tariffs on every semiconductor imported into the United States.” This announcement has drawn intense attention from semiconductor startups and investors, as semiconductors are the second-largest category of U.S.-bound exports, especially ahead of the upcoming Korea–U.S. summit, where the government’s response will be closely watched.

We anticipate additional USD 10 Million follow-on investments from our existing shareholders as well as other global companies, including in the U.S., and will work with local clients to build unique and sustainable ecosystem.” Haesun Kim, Senior Executive Director of HunetPlus, who played a pivotal role in leading the successful domestic and overseas fundraising, drew on more than 25 years of professional experience in international finance and foreign capital attraction, commented: “Although the past two years have been a very challenging period for Hunet Plus – requiring not only navigating detailed and rigorous due diligence imposed by top-tier international investors but also had to lead strategic negotiations – it has been deeply rewarding. In particular, despite a difficult investment climate as well as attracting interest from potential investors to one of the top level industries in the world, this has become a meaningful success story made possible by the organic cooperation with HunetPlus executives.” Cho Namhoon, CEO of K-Ground Ventures, an existing investor and the operator of Scale-Up TIPS who provided behind-the-scenes support for this investment, said: “Even in Korea’s challenging environment for bold investments in original technology, we had a strong belief in Hunet Plus’ global-standard R&D capabilities. Through the Hongneung Advanced Science & Technology Commercialization Fund, we took the bold step of making an early-stage investment, followed by support for subsequent fundraising, reinvestment through the Innovation IP Fund, and additional backing via Scale-Up TIPS. This long-term investment strategy has brought significant results. In particular, the attracting investment from renowned global investors is expected to support U.S. market entry and lead to further follow-on investments, ultimately building a sustainable global supply ecosystem for Korean semiconductor technology through joint Korea–U.S. R&D, production, and marketing.” Meanwhile, on August 6 (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump, at an Apple facility investment announcement event, stated, “We will impose 100% tariffs on every semiconductor imported into the United States.” This announcement has drawn intense attention from semiconductor startups and investors, as semiconductors are the second-largest category of U.S.-bound exports, especially ahead of the upcoming Korea–U.S. summit, where the government’s response will be closely watched.
