JAKARTA, Dec 5, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Bank Indonesia (BI), through its 2025 Annual Meeting (PTBI), has introduced a five-point strategy aimed at strengthening the national economy amid mounting global uncertainties. Despite Indonesia's solid economic performance throughout 2025, BI emphasizes that stronger coordination across sectors will be essential to navigate the increasingly volatile global landscape. Lingering U.S. tariff policies, weakening global demand, and geopolitical shifts continue to shape global conditions. Against this backdrop, BI Governor Perry Warjiyo highlights one core principle: synergy.1. Stability as the CornerstoneBI's first "recipe" focuses on maintaining macroeconomic and financial system stability—seen as the foundation for sustainable growth. In 2025, this becomes even more critical to shield the economy from rapid global fluctuations. BI aims to anchor inflation, stabilize the rupiah, keep the fiscal deficit below 3% of GDP, and fortify the banking sector. All of this requires close coordination between fiscal and monetary authorities."Dynamic stability—controlled prices, a stable rupiah, a fast-moving economy. That is 'Sumitronomics,'" Perry said.2. Transforming the Real SectorThe second strategy centers on real-sector transformation through improved capital, labor quality, and productivity.BI calls for complementary industrial and structural reforms: downstreaming to boost value-added, investment climate improvement, faster bureaucracy, stronger infrastructure, and deeper trade and investment channels.3. Expanding Financing and Deepening MarketsA major push is needed to meet Indonesia's large financing requirements for industrialization. BI stresses that the state budget alone cannot shoulder this burden. Hence, banks, financial institutions, and domestic and foreign private investors are expected to play a bigger role in fueling the next phase of transformation.4. Accelerating DigitalizationDigital economic transformation forms the fourth pillar. Widespread adoption of QRIS, BI-FAST, mobile banking, and e-commerce has streamlined public transactions, while digitalization of government payments continues to advance.5. Strengthening Global PartnershipsThe final strategy focuses on expanding trade and investment cooperation amid rising global protectionism.This includes promoting local currency transactions (LCT), advancing cross-border digital payment systems, and aligning regional partnerships with Indonesia's downstreaming and financing agenda.Together, these five strategies form BI's roadmap to push Indonesia toward higher, more resilient growth. The central bank projects economic expansion of 4.7–5.5% in 2025, rising to 4.9–5.7% in 2026 and 5.1–5.9% in 2027.BI also pledges to maintain a careful balance between stability and growth, with macroprudential and payment system policies set to play a stronger role in 2026. Prabowo Subianto: Reform Must Be Clean and People-Centric President Prabowo Subianto echoed BI's message, stressing the need for fast, precise, and impactful solutions for the public.He underscored clean, just, corruption-free governance as a prerequisite for successful economic transformation.A government with sincere intentions, he said, must ground every policy in truth, justice, and an unwavering commitment to serving the people.Prabowo also called for calm, confidence, and self-reliance in facing global pressures, asserting that the principle of "standing on our own feet" must be more than a slogan.Looking AheadWith clear policy direction and strong institutional commitment to stability and transformation, Indonesia is seen as well positioned to boost its economic trajectory.Consistent execution, sectoral synergy, and broad stakeholder participation will determine the success of BI's roadmap.If these elements align, Indonesia stands poised not only to maintain its resilience but to advance toward a more competitive and inclusive economy.Copyright © ANTARA 2025 Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Yeye Xiao said: “The biggest mistake Deep Tech founders make is falling in love only with their technologies and forgetting commercialisation from day one. Think ‘Design for X’ from the very beginning: design for manufacturing, supply chain, testing, and scaling. Also, leverage public ecosystems and free infrastructure instead of spending everything on private labs. Successful Deep Tech companies plan for industrial-scale production and customer integration while they are still in the lab.”The GBA Tripartite Roundtable: “Empowering GBA Startups to Expand into ASEAN with Hong Kong as a Super-connector and Super Value-adder” explores opportunities for Greater Bay Area start-ups to tap into ASEAN and global markets. Speakers discuss how Hong Kong can leverage its dual role as a super-connector and super value-adder to accelerate cross-border innovation collaboration and market expansion. The roundtable features insights from Intan Zalani, the Consul (Trade) of Malaysia in Hong Kong; Ms Ponpicha Pethkaewkul, Senior Innovation Counsellor, National Innovation Agency, Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (Thailand); Peter Mok, General Manager of Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Innovation and Entrepreneur Hub; Stephen Chan, Partner of Charles Russell Speechlys LLP; and Prof Martin Chu, CEO & Co-founder, i2COOL Limited, who will offer perspectives from government, incubators, the legal profession and startup founders on how Hong Kong can support GBA start-ups in going global.Intan Zalani said: “Beyond semiconductors and manufacturing, exciting opportunities await GBA startups in Malaysia’s fast-evolving digital payments landscape, where multiple e-wallets and QR-code payments have largely replaced cash, as well as in renewable energy, especially solar and biomass. The government offers attractive tax incentives for green technology investments. With Malaysia’s strategic position as ASEAN’s natural hub and Hong Kong’s role as super-connector, there is indeed a slice of the pie for everyone. We warmly invite Greater Bay Area entrepreneurs to partner with us, establish presence in Malaysia, and together capture the US$1 trillion ASEAN digital economy opportunity by 2030.”Global Start-ups take the stage at “Start-up Express International”This year’s “Start-up Express International” brings together ten quality start-ups across the globe, covering green tech, healthtech, AI, edtech and more—demonstrating Hong Kong’s attractiveness as an international launchpad. The international start-ups will share their entrepreneurial journeys and exchange insights with panel speakers from Cyberport, Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks, Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park, and InvestHK, exploring opportunities in Hong Kong and the GBA.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - December 4, 2025) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from drill holes H097, H098, and H099 from its 2025 drill program at the Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia. Drill holes H097, H098 and H099 were collared from the same platform as drill holes H093-H096 and were drilled into previously untested potential extensions of the deposit and have successfully expanded the mineralized footprint approximately 100m laterally and 200 meters vertically and strengthened confidence in continuity in part of the Lisle Zone.HighlightsH099 returned 438.0 metres of 0.40% CuEq, including 52.0 metres of 1.02% CuEq, representing one of the strongest continuous mineralized intervals drilled at the Hat deposit to date.H097 and H098 confirm mineralization in previously undrilled sections and extend data approximately 200-300 metres down-dip and up to 100 metres laterally and fill important gaps in the geological exploration model. Drill holes H097, H098 and H099 when integrated into the database potentially will extend the 2024 conceptual open-pit shell by ~200 metres down-dip and up to 100 metres laterally, and demonstrate strong expansion potential that may be realized in the revised version of the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE-2) and the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).Drill hole analyses reported in this News Release show continuity of copper-gold-cobalt-scandium domains [scandium is an emerging critical metal and an important component of the Hat deposit], across broad intervals of the system.These drill holes support the Company's objective to complete an up-dated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE-2) and a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and improve confidence in the exploration model all of which will be incorporated in the current and future engineering studies *Copper Equivalent (CuEq) values exclude scandium (Sc2O3).*Table 1: Summary of Significant % CuEq Drill Core Intercepts Summary of Significant Drill Core InterceptsDDH From (m)To (m)Length (m)CuEq (%) Excl.

Although collared from the same surface location, the drill holes highlighted in this News Release extended the dimensions of the deposit 200-300 metres at depth and up to 100 metres laterally, successfully fulfilling the objective of characterizing untested volumes of the deposit.Expansion of Conceptual Pit PotentialThe strong continuity and grade distribution observed in drill hole H099, together with similar results from H097 and H098, extend the interpreted geometry of the mineralized body and potentially allow major extensions of the conceptual pit by approximately 200 metres vertically and ~100 metres laterally. Note: the current exploration model and conceptual pit design are based on available information and may not be supported by future drilling and engineering studies.Continuity & Resource ConfidenceThe drill holes included in this News Release were planned to improve the interpretation of deposit geology and strengthen the block model used for resource estimates. The results confirm both lateral and vertical continuity of the system and will contribute to higher confidence resource categories as the model is updated.High-Grade Domains and Depth PotentialDrill hole H099 is particularly important as it highlights a strongly mineralized area of copper, et al. metals, including more than 50 metres exceeding 1.0% CuEq, and demonstrates that high-grade zones continue to depth. The extent of such high-grade zones has not been determined.Critical Metals: Scandium & CobaltWhile scandium (Sc2O3) is not included in CuEq calculations, scandium grades remain consistent with prior drill campaigns and continue to frame the Hat Deposit as a potentially significant North American source of critical metals.CEO CommentsFarshad Shirvani, President and CEO, commented: "These new step-out holes continue to validate and strengthen our geological model of the Hat Deposit. H099, in particular, delivered exceptional continuity with long and high-grade sections, confirming that the Lisle Zone remains robust at depth. The drilling extended mineralization into untested areas and demonstrated expansion potential for the conceptual pit by approximately 200 metres down-dip and 100 metres laterally.These results reaffirm our confidence in the Hat model, highlight the presence of high-grade domains, and demonstrate meaningful depth potential. Importantly, the new holes help us improve resource confidence and will be incorporated into the upcoming resource estimation work. We are very encouraged by the consistent scandium and cobalt values across the system, strengthening Hat's profile as a strategic critical-metals project in British Columbia. Our team is already planning follow-up drilling into several newly opened areas."Figure 1 - Drill Plan MapA surface plan map showing locations of H097, H098, and H099 relative to earlier holes (H090-H096), plotted on top of the 3D Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability model.

The metal values used in our current algorithm are average trailing three years commodity prices, and do not reflect recent dramatic increases in prices of mineral commodities. Scandium recovery has been announced in the news release dated 25th of November 2025 with an overall pre-optimized 82%. Core samples are delivered securely to a fully accredited commercial laboratory and processed by industry-standard methods and include insertion of standard samples, duplicate core samples and blank samples to ensure confidence. Assays are received from the analytical laboratory at irregular intervals, verified by reference to notes provided by our field crew, added to our database, and disseminated publicly by News Release. "The scandium resource potential is based on the drill holes on the property drilled for (July 25, 2024) maiden resource estimate for other metal content than scandium. The potential quantity and grade are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.Table 2: Drill hole locationsDDH IDUTM-East (m)UTM-North (m)Elevation (m)Azimuth (°)Dip (°)Max-Depth (m)YearH0973479636453927966348.0-86.26392025H0983479636453927966251.0-87.46332025H0993479636453927966190.0-76.07382025 Quality Assurance and Quality Control:Hat Project drill cores are processed at Doubleview's field camp where they are photographed, measured and logged by our technical staff and then divided using a diamond bladed saw.

HONG KONG, December 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – On December 3, CaoCao Inc. ('CaoCao'; 2643.HK) held a Robotaxi strategy update launch event in Hangzhou. CEO Gong Xin announced an enhanced Robotaxi roadmap, introduced the "100 Cities, 100 Billion in 10 Years" strategic goal, and unveiled the first future-oriented urban mobility hub — the 'Green Intelligent Mobility Hub'. Empowered by Geely's technology ecosystem, CaoCao is now accelerating the commercial deployment of Robotaxi services.The event took place at the world's first Green Intelligent Mobility Hub. An Conghui of Geely Holding Group said, "CaoCao is not only Geely Holding Group's technology-driven mobility platform, but also our most important vehicle for exploring the future of mobility and enabling the commercial operation of Robotaxis. It is also at the forefront of validating cutting-edge technologies and demonstrating ecosystem-wide collaboration."CaoCao's Three-Phase Robotaxi Strategy and the "100 Cities, 100 Billion in 10 Years" VisionAt the event, CaoCao presented its three-phase Robotaxi strategy in full for the first time. In the initial phase, the focus is on technology validation and small-scale pilot operations. In the current phase, the company will complete the transition from safety-driver-based operations to fully driverless operations, while piloting mixed operations involving both human-driven and driverless vehicles. In the future, CaoCao will deploy fully customized Robotaxi models to enable large-scale commercial operations worldwide.CaoCao also officially released its "100 Cities, 100 Billion in 10 Years" global strategic goal. Over the next decade, the company plans to establish five global operation centers, roll out Robotaxi services in 100 cities worldwide, and achieve a cumulative gross transaction value (GTV) of RMB 100 billion. This will be an important part of Geely Holding Group's globalization strategy built around smart mobility services.Gong Xin noted that in the Robotaxi 2.0 phase, CaoCao will further enhance its capabilities in large-scale automated fleet operations, launch the CaoCao Intelligent Mobility RAS platform, and fully implement a digital asset management system, thereby deeply integrating its operational strengths with smart cockpit and intelligent driving technologies to build a closed-loop system for fully driverless Robotaxi operations.The Green Intelligent Mobility Hub was also officially put into operation.

The Green Intelligent Mobility Hub is the tangible expression of Geely Holding Group's aim to "lead the green and intelligent mobility ecosystem," and CaoCao has developed a replicable standard for its construction. In the future, city-level hubs will provide seamless connections between Robotaxis and Aerofugia's eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft. These hubs will be backed by Geespace's low-Earth-orbit satellite network, which will deliver ubiquitous communications coverage and high-precision positioning data, helping to shape an integrated "sky–ground–space" mobility blueprint.CaoCao will also explore more diversified revenue models and create new employment opportunities. As the Robotaxi business grows, the company may open vehicle purchase channels to drivers and form operational partnerships with them to jointly explore revenue opportunities. Going forward, expansion of the fleet and the continued build-out of Green Intelligent Mobility Hubs will create new types of roles, including positions in cloud-based remote assurance and asset management.Leveraging the Geely Technology Ecosystem to Build Core Robotaxi Competitiveness for CaoCaoAs one of the most closely watched areas in automotive intelligence, competition in the Robotaxi space has moved beyond single algorithms or hardware components and has become a system-level contest spanning intelligent custom vehicles, autonomous driving technologies, and smart operational platforms — and this is precisely where Geely Holding Group’s intelligent technology ecosystem has built a strong competitive moat.Backed by Geely's technology ecosystem, CaoCao has all the key elements needed for Robotaxi development and has established a unique integrated model that combines intelligent custom vehicles, autonomous driving technologies, and smart operations. This model is underpinned by Geely's strong capabilities in electric and intelligent vehicle R&D and manufacturing. It integrates cutting-edge technologies in computing power, algorithms, data, and systems integration, and is further reinforced by CaoCao's long-standing expertise in urban operations, asset management, user services, and the broader mobility ecosystem. Together, these strengths form a comprehensive closed-loop system for Robotaxi operations, enabling the coordinated optimization of safety, efficiency, and user experience.As Geely Holding Group's most important platform for the commercial operation of Robotaxis, CaoCao has spent the past decade cultivating the shared mobility market, accumulating vast volumes of trip data, developing mature dispatch algorithms, and building a nationwide service network, all of which provide a solid foundation for Robotaxi commercialization. In addition, by owning and operating the largest custom fleet of its kind in China, CaoCao has gained valuable experience in large-scale fleet operations and efficient asset management—expertise that is essential for the Robotaxi era.At the event, CaoCao and Afari Technology signed a strategic partnership agreement in the presence of CaoCao CEO Gong Xin and Afari Technology Chairman Yin Qi. Leveraging Geely Holding Group's powerful technology ecosystem, the two parties will deepen their collaboration in the Robotaxi sector and accelerate the large-scale adoption and commercial deployment of autonomous driving technologies.The launch and steady advancement of CaoCao's Robotaxi strategy provide a replicable operational model for the green and intelligent transformation of urban transportation.

SYDNEY, AU, Dec 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - You have seen the videos and read the blogs. Now you are finally planning your own food pilgrimage to Japan. We are talking about that perfect, silky bowl of ramen, sushi that melts in your mouth, and hot takoyaki straight from the griddle.But let us be honest for a second. The difference between a good food trip and an absolutely epic one often comes down to one simple thing: can you actually find the place? And when you do, do you know what you are ordering?That is where a bit of modern tech makes all the difference. Here is how to use your phone, and a TravelKon eSIM, to eat your way through Japan like a pro.Never Walk Past the Best Meal of Your TripThe wildest thing about Japan's food scene is that the best spots are often hidden. We are talking about a noodle shop with no English sign down a back alley in Shinjuku, or a tiny sushi counter in a Tokyo subway station.Your map app is your best mate here. But it is useless if it is buffering. With a reliable local data connection, you can navigate in real time, right to the door. Even better, you can be spontaneous. See a huge line of locals? A quick search can tell you if they are queueing for the city's best tonkatsu or just a new phone shop.A TravelKon Japan eSIM on a proper Japanese network like Docomo or KDDI means no more guessing. Your maps just work, turning your phone into a reliable compass pointing directly to deliciousness.Order the Good Stuff, Not the Mystery ItemYou have found an incredible-looking izakaya, a casual pub. It is packed with locals, the atmosphere is buzzing and the menu is a full sheet of Kanji with no pictures. Now what?Whip out your phone and use the camera function on Google Translate. Just point it at the menu, and it will overlay the English translation right on your screen. Now you can confidently order the famous local sea urchin, instead of accidentally pointing to something more adventurous.This magic trick needs a solid, fast data connection to work instantly. A dodgy connection means a delayed, jumbled translation. With your Japan eSIM, you can decode any menu on the spot, turning a moment of panic into a fun part of the experience.Share Your Food Without Waiting for Hotel Wi-FiLet us be honest, that beautifully crafted sushi platter or that steaming bowl of ramen is a work of art. You want to share it with your friends back home now, not six hours later when you are back on the hotel's patchy Wi-Fi.Post that video of the sizzling okonomiyaki to your Story right from the table. Livestream the sushi chef's masterful skills for a minute. Upload your 4K reel of Osaka's Dotonbori street food scene that night.This is where data plans matter. If you are a big sharer, you will want a Japan eSIM with plenty of data, or even an unlimited plan, so you never have to think twice about it. It lets you document your trip in the moment, when the excitement is freshest.Get Out of Town and Find the Real GemsThe culinary adventures in Japan do not stop at the city limits. In fact, some of the best finds are in regional areas. Think the incredible Hida beef in Takayama, the fresh seafood in Hokkaido's markets, or the unique street food at a local matsuri, or festival.Use your data to research regional specialties and check train times for a spontaneous day trip. Find that famous soba shop in the mountains everyone talks about.Many cheap Japan SIMs or roaming plans have weak coverage outside major cities. A TravelKon Japan eSIM on a major network means you are just as connected in a small town in Kyoto prefecture as you are in downtown Tokyo, giving you the confidence to explore further.Keep It Simple: Your Connection SortedThe easiest way to make this all happen is with an eSIM. You just scan a QR code to install it before you go, and you are online minutes after you land at Narita or Haneda. No faffing about at a SIM card vending machine.Think about how you travel. If you're planning to go hard on the social posts, an Unlimited Japan eSIM means you can share every bite without ever slowing down. Or, if you're also popping over to Korea or Taiwan, a multi-country Asia eSIM has you covered for the whole trip. And if you just need maps and translations to get by, a flexible data pack will do the trick perfectly and save you some cash for an extra meal or two.Your dream food trip to Japan is waiting. With your phone properly connected, you can spend less time getting lost and more time tracking down that perfect, life-changing bite.Ready to eat your way through Japan? Check out TravelKon's Japan eSIMs and find the right one for your adventure.About TravelKonTravelKon is an Australian company with a simple goal: to provide reliable and affordable connectivity for travellers.

Muscat, Oman, Dec 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Three months after its introduction, Oman's 10-Year Golden Residency is emerging as one of the region's most compelling long-term residency pathways, attracting rising interest from investors, entrepreneurs, and internationally mobile families seeking stability, transparent regulation, and strategic access to high-growth markets. The programme-launched under Oman Vision 2040-offers a structured framework for investors wishing to establish deeper roots in a country positioning itself as a secure and globally connected economic hub.The Golden Residency grants eligible applicants long-term residency in return for a minimum investment of USD 520,000 across seven clearly defined routes. These include owning completed real estate units within Integrated Tourism Complexes; establishing a company registered in Oman; purchasing government development bonds; investing in securities listed on the Muscat Stock Exchange; or placing a fixed-term deposit in a licensed Omani bank for a minimum of five years. Applicants may also qualify by owning a company that employs at least 50 Omani nationals or through nomination under Oman's Foreign Capital Investment Law, provided the company's capital meets the required threshold.A defining feature of the programme is its family-centric design. Approved applicants can sponsor their spouse and children of any age, secure additional property outside tourism zones, and employ up to three domestic workers without a local sponsor. The residency also includes fast-track immigration lanes and expanded visit visas for extended family members. These benefits-rare in many global residency schemes-position Oman as a destination offering long-term security as well as an inclusive, predictable environment for families.The application system is fully digital, enabling applicants worldwide to upload documents, track applications, and engage directly with dedicated relationship managers. The programme is supported by Migrate World, which provides due-diligence verification and relocation support to align the onboarding process with international investor-migration standards. The streamlined model reflects Oman's broader institutional push toward efficiency, transparency, and unified investor services.Oman's geographic position at the junction of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East continues to be a central factor in global interest. With access to more than 2.6 billion consumers and direct links to major trade routes, the country is increasingly viewed as a stable base for regional operations. Strong regulatory institutions, long-standing political neutrality, and one of the world's most stable currencies further reinforce investor confidence. Quality-of-life indicators are also contributing to global demand, with Oman ranking among the top countries worldwide for safety, climate, and purchasing power.Officials note that the programme is already complementing national efforts to attract talent and capital into priority sectors. Pathways requiring the employment of Omani nationals support the country's human-capital goals, while mandatory audits strengthen governance and operational standards among participating companies. Early interest from investors in renewable energy, logistics, advanced manufacturing, tourism, and mining aligns closely with Oman's diversification agenda under Vision 2040.As competition intensifies across global residency and citizenship programmes, Oman is positioning its model as long-term, reliable, and partnership-driven. While other regional initiatives rely heavily on short-term incentives, Oman's approach-grounded in regulatory clarity, economic stability, and a family-focused design-is steadily gaining recognition in international investment circles. Three months into its rollout, early indicators suggest the programme is on track to become a key driver of Oman's investment attractiveness in the years ahead.Further details and the full application process are available at: https://omanresidence.gov.om/About Invest OMAN:Invest Oman is the Sultanate's official gateway for strategic investment, offering investors unified access to opportunities across priority sectors aligned with Oman Vision 2040.

From tomorrow until Saturday, the exhibition will welcome industry professionals and the public with free admission. The event brings together over 260 exhibitors from 14 countries and regions, providing an opportunity for design enthusiasts, buyers and members of the public to explore how design connects culture, industry and everyday life through exhibitions, dialogues and workshops.A global platform weaving creativity and commerceThe HKTDC’s commitment to promoting the development of Hong Kong’s cultural and creative industries continues, cementing the city’s role as an east-meets-west centre for international cultural exchange. Since 2017, DesignInspire has provided a platform for designers, brands and creative institutions to connect with potential buyers from around the world, unlocking design-led business opportunities. Sophia Chong, Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “This year’s DesignInspire unites global creative and business talents, presenting major international collaborations that underscore the event’s mission as a world-class design platform. Artistic exchange is not only where ideas and inspiration are born – it also provides the opportunity to build new partnerships. With its unique position as a global business hub, Hong Kong is ideally placed to foster international exchanges and collaboration.”A key highlight of this year’s DesignInspire is the triumphant return of French lifestyle and design authority Maison&Objet* which presents the upgraded Maison&Objet Intérieurs Hong Kong 2025*, bringing together 16 internationally renowned designers and artisans and more than 200 brands. Centred on the concept of “Crossroads,” the curation presents a cross-cultural design language spanning dialogue, sustainable innovation and avant-garde craft. Design Factory, curated by four international curators, features over 200 pieces that envision future living through materials, crafts and narrative, including works by French trend hunter Elizabeth Leriche and the co-founders of COLLECTIBLE, Clélie Debehault and Liv Vaisberg. Meanwhile, Design Showcase connects seven design capitals – Dubai, Hong Kong, Milan, New Delhi, Paris, Seoul and Shanghai – each interpreting diverse lifestyles and spatial imaginations through a distinctive urban context. Italian brand Moroso presents special showcase, Resonant Landscapes, a public art installation curated by Creative Director Patrizia Moroso that fuses sculptural form and sensory experience to create a poetic encounter between art and design.Philippe Delhomme, Executive Board Chairman of Maison&Objet, said: “Thanks CCIDA and DesignInspire for the continuous support. After our first showcase in Hong Kong last year, we received positive feedback and attention. This year’s upgraded Maison&Objet Intérieurs Hong Kong 2025 nearly doubles in scale. We will showcase the future of interior design and we look forward to gathering with global industry peers and potential buyers to explore deeper collaborations.”In its mission to connect global creativity and foster cross-industry collaboration, DesignInspire 2025 features international pavilions from places including the Chinese Mainland, Belgium, Czechia, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, South Korea, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates, presenting a diversity of design viewpoints and cultural dialogues. The Czech Pavilion gathers Prague-based brands Artisème, Braasi Industry and Pigmentarium, showcasing Bohemian crystal and porcelain craftsmanship, handcrafted urban backpacks and artistic fragrances, and fusing centuries-old crafts with contemporary sensibilities through light, texture and scent. In addition, this year’s event features several first-time exhibitors, including the Hefei Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, Ikatan Arsitek Indonesia and the Macao Product Design Association, to showcase creative works that highlight local characteristics.Beyond international showcases, a renowned designer and an emerging artist anchor the show’s cross-cultural narrative. BOTTEGA HONG KONG, with Alan Chan as Creative Director, along with UNVEIL LIMITED and Su Chang Design Research Office, reimagines everyday aesthetics through an “open carton” inspired by Italy’s alimentari and Hong Kong’s “si dor” neighbourhood stores. The pavilion showcases Hong Kong and Italian talent, including anothermountainman; Didi Ng, the first Hong Kong finalist of the LOEWE Foundation Craft Prize; Italian fashion brand FERRAGAMO; Italian furniture design powerhouse Moroso; glass artist Lucia Massari, known for pieces created for Dolce & Gabbana Casa; Alessandro Stabile Design Studio, one of Italy’s top emerging designers; and David Leung, photographer and artist. Together they are throwing the spotlight on Hong Kong-Italy design sensibilities and cultural narratives.Curated by rising artist Chilai Howard, TINY STUDIO takes inspiration from Hong Kong’s street stall culture to shape 12 studio pavilions with unique designs, bringing fashion designer Angus Tsui, renowned illustrator Pen So, local fragrance brand BeCandle, acclaimed music producer Edward Chan, and Kelly Cheuk and Kwokin from the music video and visual production studio (Re). The set-up hosts creators from both Hong Kong and Italy working across the fields of digital art, sound, scent, sculpture and hands-on workshops, inviting visitors into immersive interactions that capture the creative energy between the two places.This year, DesignInspire has partnered with Tatler to present “The A.I. Atelier”, an experience zone that blends design and technology. Supported by Gen.T and powered by Preface—a tech-enabling company founded by Tommy Lo, an outstanding young honouree from the Tatler Generation Tomorrow Community—this zone explores creativity through artificial intelligence (AI). It analyses visitors’ unique design spirit and styles, generating personalised visual creations on the spot. This gives audiences a first-hand experience of how AI is radically reshaping design language and forging a new era of intelligent synergy between design and technology.Local exhibitors also unveil new designs, including GERI, an intelligent textile technology company, which collaborates with graphic design master Kan Tai-keung to leverage DesignInspire debuting a new series of smart handbags as a seamless fusion of innovation and craftsmanship.Global creativity converges to expand collaborative horizonsTo connect local and international cultural and creative design communities, foster collaboration, and pave the way for future industry development, DesignInspire is hosting an exclusive VIP preview today. The event brings together leading creative and cultural organisations from Hong Kong and overseas, major institutions across various sectors, international enterprises and design service users and buyers. The fair aims to catalyse new business partnerships through face-to-face networking.This year’s participating companies span department stores, retail and residential development, hospitality and lifestyle brands, interior design practices and food and beverage groups, including Yves Saint Laurent Beauty from France, L'Oreal Luxe, Thai retail leaders The Mall Group and Central Retail, India’s Indian Institute of Interior Designers (IIID) and Bombay Shirt Company. Also in attendance are design and brand-strategy firms from Singapore and Europe such as Cameron Woo Design, First Sight International and Saguez & Partners. From the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, buyers include Eslite Spectrum Corporation, CHECK Hospitality Management, Haiguihai Group and Xiaochuniang Fast Food Co., Ltd., all of which are looking to leverage DesignInspire as a platform to explore cross-border collaboration opportunities that reflect the continued growth of cross-disciplinary design in the Asian market.InnoTalks explores diverse themes leading a new wave of design ideasTo foster professional dialogue and knowledge sharing, the InnoTalks series returns with 13 sessions this year, convening creators and experts to discuss sensory experiences and business models. Highlights include “Time Warp – When Nostalgia Meets the Future”, where local studios Nopaperstudio and Hoopla unpack how retro elements and craft vocabularies evolve into contemporary visual languages, and why the trend for nostalgia resonates in a fast-paced digital era.Another session, “Future development potential of Art Toy IP”, sees international designer Winson Ma analyse industry trends and explore how designer toys forge unique value chains across art, collecting and commerce, covering licensing, production and promotion models that turn creative characters into marketable cultural icons.Other InnoTalks sessions span topics including multisensory design, sustainable interiors and more, running alongside the Maison&Objet Exhibitors’ Forum and the Federation of Hong Kong Industries D Mark Presentation. A series of creative workshops will be open to the public, where participants can experience hands-on art creation, from cyanotype printing, light sculpture and stone painting to miniature art, paper craft and candle-making. Many of the workshops draw inspiration from Hong Kong motifs, integrating local elements into creative experiences.Harnessing the power of design and art to foster community inclusionDesignInspire is also collaborating with St. James’ Creation under St. James’ Settlement to promote artistic development for people in rehabilitation, introducing “MusicCLAY – Noided Music Making Experience Workshop” – a hands-on experience combining clay art with electronic noise music. In addition, the Hong Kong YMCA’s the DOOOR arts space joins the exhibition to integrate art into the community.Running concurrently with DesignInspire are three important HKTDC-led events – Business of IP Asia Forum, Entrepreneur Day and Start-up Express: International Edition 2025 – taking place from 4 to 5 December at the HKCEC, helping to create further synergies and business opportunities. One-on-one business matching will also be available to connect participants with design service firms and innovation companies worldwide.* Sponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA)Photo download: https://bit.ly/4iv3RSsSponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA), organised by the HKTDC and co-organised by the Hong Kong Design Centre, DesignInspire runs from 3 to 6 December at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, with free admission for industry professionals and the public from tomorrowA major annual design event, DesignInspire brings together over 260 exhibitors from 14 countries and regions in 2025A key highlight is the triumphant return of French lifestyle and design authority Maison&Objet with the upgraded Maison&Objet Intérieurs Hong Kong 2025, bringing together 16 internationally renowned artisansBOTTEGA HONG KONG, designed by international design master Alan Chan along with UNVEIL LIMITED and Su Chang Design Research Office, draws inspiration from Italy’s alimentari (boutique grocery stores) and Hong Kong’s local “si dor” corner shop culture Curated by rising artist Chilai Howard, TINY STUDIO takes inspiration from Hong Kong’s street stall culture to shape 12 studio pavilions with unique designMultiple photo spots across the venue offer visitors distinctive immersive and multi-sensory experiencesDesignInspire detailsDate: 4 to 6 December, 2025 (Thursday to Saturday)Time: 4 and 5 December 9:30am-7:30pm6 December 9:30am-7pmVenue: Hall 3DE, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition CentreFee: Free admission with registrationEvent website:https://designinspire.hktdc.comMedia enquiriesFor enquiries, please contact:Raconteur PR:Betsy TseTel: (852) 9742 7338Email: betsytse@raconteur.hkClementine CheungTel: (852) 9248 0876Email: clementinecheung@raconteur.hkHKTDC Communication and Public Affairs Department:Katy WongTel: (852) 2584 4524Email: katy.ky.wong@hktdc.orgStanley SoTel: (852) 2584 4395Email: stanley.hp.so@hktdc.orgHKTDC Newsroom: http://mediaroom.hktdc.com/enAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.
