NipsApp Game Studio 通过沉浸式博物馆装置重现二十世纪华沙

(SeaPRwire) - 印度喀拉拉邦特里凡得琅– 2026年5月14日 – (SeaPRwire) – 华沙一家大型博物馆推出了一项由NipsApp Game Studio开发的新永久沉浸式装置,为参观者提供了通过虚幻引擎5(Unreal Engine 5)驱动的超写实实时环境,独特地体验该市二十世纪历史的全新机会。 该装置将历史叙述转化为互动视觉体验,通过三个独立房间分别呈现华沙现代历史上的关键时期,使参观者置身于其中。每个房间内都设有一扇“窗户”,展示该特定历史时期的真实城市风貌,营造出直接凝视过去的沉浸感,而非观看传统数字屏幕内容。 借助无缝集成于物理环境的超大尺寸屏幕,该体验呈现了高度精细的实时场景,再现了二战前、战争破坏期间以及战后重建时期华沙的城市样貌。该项目现已正式纳入博物馆常设展览计划。 首个环境将参观者带回到战前的华沙,以极高的历史准确性重现了繁忙的街道、历史建筑、咖啡馆和电车线路。暖色调照明、氛围动态和环境细节的设计旨在捕捉1939年之前这座城市的节奏与视觉特征。 第二间房间的基调则发生显著转变,展现了战争时期被占领与城市遭受破坏的景象。整体氛围更加安静而紧张,反映了这座城市在其历史上最艰难时期所经历的 devastation(破坏)。据开发团队介绍,特别注重在历史真实性与情感敏感性之间取得平衡。 最后一间展厅聚焦于战后重建阶段,描绘了城市在变化中的城市景观与重新焕发的公共生活中逐步重建的过程。这三个展区共同构成了一条时间线上的视觉叙事脉络,引导参观者穿越华沙历史上最具变革性的几十年。 为实现深度沉浸效果,NipsApp Game Studio 运用了多项通常用于高端游戏开发的虚幻引擎5前沿技术。Nanite虚拟化几何技术用于重现密集的建筑细节;Lumen实时全局光照系统则实现针对各历史背景定制化的动态光线条件;Niagara粒子系统通过天气效果、尘埃、烟雾及环境动态增强了现实感。 开发团队还高度重视近距离视觉保真度,考虑到参观者很可能会走近这些“窗口”进行细致观察。因此,纹理、材质与环境资产均以高细节标准设计,确保即使在近距离审视下仍能保持真实感。 NipsApp Game Studio的一位发言人表示,该项目采用了与高端互动娱乐项目相同的生产标准,包括先进的光照工作流程、电影级环境设计及基于史料研究的资产创建。工作室还与历史学家、博物馆策展人及档案专家紧密合作,确保建筑物、街道及材料准确反映每个历史时期的风貌。 与传统博物馆依赖照片、文字说明或预渲染视频内容的方式不同,该装置引入了一个可空间化、情感化交互的真实时间动态环境。这种“窗框式”呈现方式在整体体验中占据核心地位,鼓励参观者将所见环境视为真实的城市视野,而非屏幕或动画。 该博物馆装置也反映了当前向沉浸式文化可视化技术发展的趋势,旨在吸引年轻观众并提升教育参与度。通过结合实时渲染技术与文化遗产保护,该项目展示了交互式数字环境如何促进人们对历史事件产生更深层次的情感连接。 NipsApp Game Studio表示,华沙安装项目是其致力于开发高保真虚幻引擎体验(涵盖游戏、企业应用与文化遗产可视化)的重要组成部分。 关于NipsApp Game Studio NipsApp Game Studio是一家专注于虚幻引擎开发的AAA级实时体验工作室,业务覆盖游戏、企业级软件及文化 heritage(文化遗产)应用领域。该公司致力于打造融合尖端技术执行能力、电影级呈现效果与现实世界部署能力的沉浸式可视化系统。近期项目包括汽车可视化平台、原创游戏作品以及互动式博物馆装置等。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

三名共和党人加入民主党阵营,在伊朗战争问题上参议院投票最接近通过 Latest News

三名共和党人加入民主党阵营,在伊朗战争问题上参议院投票最接近通过

阿拉斯加共和党参议员丽莎·默科夫斯基周三首次投票支持一项旨在停止伊朗战争的措施,但这项措施仍以49票对50票失败。——Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images(SeaPRwire) - 周三,参议院共和党人勉强阻止了迄今为止国会要求结束与伊朗战争的最有力举措,三名共和党参议员因对唐纳德·特朗普总统处理冲突的方式不满而脱离本党立场。该法案依据《1973年战争权力决议案》提出,以50比49的微弱劣势失败。这是自今年2月底战争爆发以来参议院第七次尝试通过此类措施,也是阿拉斯加共和党参议员丽莎·默科夫斯基首次投票支持该决议。默科夫斯基与缅因州共和党人苏珊·柯林斯、肯塔基州共和党人兰德·保罗共同支持该决议。上个月在60天法定期限届满前不久,柯林斯首次背离共和党领导层就此问题表态。长期反对总统战争权扩大的保罗则已七次全部投出赞成票。“我们现在已经超出了60天的时限,”默科夫斯基在投票后向媒体表示。“我认为政府或许会给出更明确的说明,但我并未收到。”决定性的投票由宾夕法尼亚州民主党人约翰·费特曼投出——这位坚定亲以色列的议员再次跨越党派界限,与共和党人站在一起反对该措施。根据《战争权力决议案》,总统可在未经国会批准的情况下将美军投入敌对行动长达60天,此后必须获得国会授权才能继续军事行动。这一期限从3月2日开始计算,当日特朗普正式通知国会对伊朗采取军事行动,此前几天美国和以色列已发动联合空袭。然而,特朗普政府辩称,由于与伊朗达成停火协议, hostilities 在60天期限内已告终止。他在5月1日致国会的信函中表示,自4月7日起“无交火发生”,并宣称“始于2026年2月28日的 hostilities 已经结束”。但民主党人以及越来越多共和党人拒绝接受这一解读,他们指出该地区仍存在持续的军事活动,包括美国海军封锁伊朗港口的行动,以及近期伊朗在该地区的袭击引发美国反击。俄勒冈州民主党人杰弗里·梅尔克(Jeff Merkley)是周三决议的共同提案人,他在参议院发言时坚称:“双方每天都在交战。”关于 hostilities 在法律上是否仍在进行的争议已成为国会围绕该冲突斗争的核心。此前《时代》周刊报道,部分民主党人私下讨论是否应起诉总统,指控其未经授权即让军事行动超出法定期限,这可能引发关于三权分立的宪法危机。白宫方面则认为《战争权力法》本身违宪,特朗普只是出于与国会保持良好关系的目的才遵守其中的“某些条款”。“《战争权力法》100%违宪,”国务卿马可·卢比奥近日在白宫简报会上对媒体表示,他声称自1973年该法通过以来“每一位总统”都持相同立场。国防部长皮特·希格斯周二告诉参议员,如果特朗普决定重启作战行动,政府认为其“已有所有必要授权”。大多数共和党人仍与特朗普保持一致。参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩在投票前告诉媒体:“我认为全体团结支持总统才是最佳选择。”另有议员指责民主党试图在特朗普前往中国与中国国家主席习近平举行高规格会谈期间削弱其权威。“总统已明确表示:主要战斗已经停止,美国的停火已持续超过一个月,我们的海上封锁正在发挥作用,”怀俄明州共和党二号人物约翰·巴拉索说道。“本周特朗普正在海外会见中国领导人,而民主党却在参议院试图背后捅刀。”然而微弱的分差反映出共和党内部日益增长的不安情绪,尤其是那些此前曾警告称一旦60天期限届满,政府将面临更严审查的参议员。默科夫斯基的转变尤为显著,因为她此前一直抵制迫使军事行动终止的努力,认为全面切断可能过于仓促。但在最近几周,她越来越多地质疑政府对冲突实际上已结束的坚持,并开始探讨起草单独的伊朗使用武力授权法案的可能性。几位此前公开对法律期限表示关切的共和党人最终周三仍投票反对该决议,包括犹他州约翰·柯蒂斯和北卡罗来纳州汤姆·蒂利斯。两人此前都曾暗示,若军事行动超出法定限制,国会应发挥更大作用,但均未参与此次限制作战的努力。对民主党而言,周三的投票至少证明支持战争的共和党团结正在松动。“我们知道同僚们听到了什么,”弗吉尼亚州参议员蒂姆·凯恩在投票前表示。“我们开始听到他们的言辞中流露出怀疑。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

结束争吵的秘诀 Latest News

结束争吵的秘诀

——图片说明:TIME 杂志配图(图片来源:Delia Pindaru,Canva)(SeaPRwire) - 当你最好的朋友、伴侣或孩子对你发脾气时,你很容易认为他们很难相处。佛罗里达州棕榈滩的婚姻与家庭治疗师安娜·埃尔顿(Anna Elton)希望你考虑一个不同的故事。“当你看到愤怒时,这只是冰山一角,”她说。“愤怒只是次要情绪。主要情绪可能是悲伤,可能是失望,也可能是压力。”这就是共情发挥作用的地方。埃尔顿说,掌握这一点能帮助你超越表面,了解对方内心真正发生了什么。你的共情能力决定了在激烈交谈后你是感觉与对方更亲近,还是感觉自己站在了对立面——用埃尔顿的话说,是“我们是一伙的” versus “你对我”。长期练习这种能力会改变你在每段关系中的表现方式。你可以通过练习提高这方面的能力,而共情也会让你受益良多:它能帮你更快结束争吵,甚至完全避免争吵。以下是五种简单易行的方法,帮助你在下次发生争执前或之后增强共情能力。假装自己在跟孩子说话想象一下,你在向一个孩子解释一场争执。新泽西州布里奇沃特的一名临床社会工作者HJ·赵(HJ Cho)建议,你可以一步步引导孩子理解发生了什么。尽量不使用带有煽动性的词语、冗长的背景叙述,或者将对方描绘成恶人的语言——专注于解释实际发生的事情,包括你自己的感受和想法。“我们不是在投射,也不是在灾难化,”赵说。“我们是在传达这个情况,以便所有人都能理解。”这种练习之所以有效,是因为强制简化能呈现出一种更中立的版本的事件:“那种为另一种观点留出空间的版本,”赵说。用纸笔与伴侣换位思考选择一个最近不愉快的互动场景,从你自己的角度写一段话描述它。然后以对方的视角重写同一情境——并使用“我觉得……”的表达方式,仿佛你真的就是那个迟钝的伴侣或不礼貌的老板。例如,你可能会这样描述自己的经历:“我的伴侣心不在焉,当我跟他谈论我的一天时,他不在乎我说什么。”接着,想想他当时可能经历了什么。你的下一段话可能会是这样:“嗯,我今天过得很糟糕,精神上已经精疲力尽。我没有精力全身心投入,但我真的很在乎。”“你让自己站在他们的立场上,这样你就不会只做出反应,”洛杉矶的婚姻与家庭治疗师埃登·加西亚-巴里奥斯(Eden Garcia-Balis)说。目的不是说服自己对方是对的。而是要发现同时存在多种可能性。“多种解释可以同时存在,”她说。“你可能感到被忽视,同时他们也可能感到压力很大。而当你们表现出共情时,就能一起想出解决方案。”像对待朋友一样跟自己对话在你能对别人表现出共情之前,你必须先对自己表现出共情。赵经常这样告诉她的客户。“我们对他人展现的共情,建立在对自己展现的共情基础之上,”她说。“对我们自己表现出共情非常重要,否则我们真的很难对其他人表现出共情。”下次你在争吵前后情绪激动时,花60秒时间对自己说,你会对你的好朋友在同样情况下说什么。不要说“冷静点”或“你反应过度了”。相反,选择真正的认同:“听到那些话一定很难受。当然你会生气。你会有这样的感觉也是合理的。”目的不是说服自己是对的;而是让自己平静下来,真正能与对方同在。“当你平静下来时,所有系统都处于最佳状态,”赵说。“这只会让你成为最好的自己。”进行90秒的视角转换这是即使在激烈争吵中也可以进行的方法。埃尔顿建议,设定一个90秒的计时器,然后像对方一样回答三个问题:“我现在感觉如何?”“我现在担心什么或试图保护什么?”“我希望对方理解关于我的什么?”计时结束后,回到你自己的立场,问自己:“我错过了什么?”这是一种很好的方式来掌控自己的情绪——建立共情的第一步。“有时我们只是被情绪淹没,想要反驳或证明自己是正确的,”加西亚-巴里奥斯说。“这真的能帮助你后退一步,调节情绪,反思:‘还可能有其他什么可能性?’”找出你们共同拥有的一件事当你处于争执之中时,对面的人可能会开始感觉像一个陌生人。杜克大学的社会心理学家帕蒂·范坎佩伦(Patty Van Cappellen)说,这是共情在争吵中最难获得的主要原因之一。“冲突通常是人们感觉自己更加疏远的时候,”她说。“比如,‘我不认识这个人了。’”解决办法是她所谓的心理亲密感。“关注能让你们更亲近的关系方面,”她建议道。这可能意味着,在争吵中途,或在开始艰难谈话之前,提醒自己你和这个人共享的东西:一起经历的困难;一个只有你们知道的笑话;那次一切都很糟糕但最终玩得很开心的旅行。然后继续下去。归根结底,共情让你能够停止对你的伴侣做出反应,转而倾听他们。埃尔顿说:“当你能够识别伴侣内心的情绪时,就会建立联系,产生被看见和理解的感觉。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Sherlocq Launches the First AI-Native Regulatory Intelligence Platform for Global Financial Services ACN Newswire

Sherlocq Launches the First AI-Native Regulatory Intelligence Platform for Global Financial Services

NEW YORK, USA AND ABU DHABI, UAE, May 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sherlocq, the first AI-native regulatory intelligence platform for global financial services, today announced its public launch. Designed for compliance officers, lawyers, risk professionals, and regulators who operate at the intersection of law, governance, and institutional accountability, Sherlocq delivers regulatory intelligence that is precise, traceable, and usable at institutional scale.The launch marks the emergence of a new category in enterprise AI: regulatory intelligence, a vertical distinct from generic AI assistants, conventional regtech monitoring tools, and document management platforms. Sherlocq has been built from the ground up to meet the security, privacy, and domain standards that regulated institutions require, and which no general-purpose AI platform has been designed to deliver.THE PROBLEMFinancial institutions, law firms, regulators, and consultants collectively spend over $300 billion every year on regulatory compliance. More than ten million professionals carry the weight of that complexity daily, tracking regulatory changes across dozens of jurisdictions, reviewing thousands of documents, and making high-stakes decisions that can determine the fate of institutions and individuals alike.Until now, the tools available have been fundamentally inadequate: monitoring without interpretation, alerts without answers, search without synthesis. Regulatory research has remained a largely manual process for decades. Vertical AI has already demonstrated category-defining value in adjacent domains. Regulatory intelligence represents a larger, more global, and more complex opportunity.Sherlocq changes that.THE PLATFORMAt launch, Sherlocq covers the regulatory output of governments, supervisory authorities, and enforcement bodies across 30+ jurisdictions, including the US, UK, UAE, Singapore, and Hong Kong. It ingests, structures, and indexes this information continuously, so when a compliance officer, lawyer, or risk professional asks a question, Sherlocq returns a precise, sourced, and traceable answer in seconds. Research that previously required hours of manual work across multiple sources is completed in under a minute.The platform launches with three live capabilities:Regulatory Research and Analysis - Multi-jurisdiction research, cross-border regulatory comparison, compliance framework analysis, and obligation mapping across the full spectrum of financial services regulation, covering all major regulated financial centres.Document Intelligence - Structured review, gap assessment, benchmarking, and policy analysis against applicable regulatory standards, available on the native Sherlocq platform.Sanctions Intelligence - Real-time, multi-regime sanctions research across OFAC, OFSI, EU, UAE, and 320+ data sources in a single query, with full source traceability. The first AI-native platform to deliver this level of depth and auditability across multiple sanctions regimes simultaneously.Sherlocq is available on web, iOS, and Android, for individual professionals and enterprise organisations. AI connectors are live for Claude and ChatGPT, enabling regulatory research to be accessed directly within the tools professionals already use. Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini integrations follow shortly.Sherlocq is certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 standards, meeting the security and data privacy requirements of regulated financial institutions globally.FOUNDER'S STATEMENT"I have spent my career sitting across the table from regulators, leading investigations at the highest levels, and advising institutions in the most consequential moments of their existence. In every one of those engagements, the same problem recurred: brilliant professionals, at world-class institutions, spending most of their time on research and cross-referencing that should have been automated years ago. Not because the technology did not exist. Because no one had built it with the rigour, the domain depth, and the institutional trust that this work demands. That is what we built. Sherlocq is not a general AI tool adapted for compliance. It is the intelligence infrastructure that this industry has always needed and never had," said Bhavin Shah, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Sherlocq.ABOUT THE FOUNDERBhavin Shah is a globally recognised regulatory and compliance leader with over twenty years of experience advising sovereigns, regulators, boards, and financial institutions across their most complex and politically sensitive challenges. His career spans multi-jurisdiction investigations, AML and financial crime reform, regulatory negotiations, crisis management, and governance advisory across the US, UK, Middle East, and Asia Pacific. He has advised some of the world's most consequential regulatory reform processes and financial institutions at moments of institutional stress, enforcement risk, and strategic transformation.Shah is a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader (2020), a board member of the D2A2 digital assets and AI policy forum, and holds executive education credentials from Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School. He serves as an independent non-executive director on the boards of regulated financial institutions, giving him direct and ongoing insight into the governance, compliance, and regulatory pressures that Sherlocq is designed to address.INDUSTRY VOICES"Regulatory complexity has been accelerating for years and this is only compounding with the recent trends toward fragmentation around the globe. The tools available to compliance professionals have not kept pace. Sherlocq addresses that gap in a way that is substantive, not superficial. What distinguishes this platform is that it has been built with a genuine understanding of how regulated institutions work and what they actually need to be more effective and more efficient. The depth, the traceability, and the institutional-grade approach reflect the kind of rigour that regulators and boards rightly expect. I am proud to support Bhavin and the Sherlocq team as they bring this important product to market," said Bryan Stirewalt, Former Chief Executive, Dubai Financial Services Authority; Former National Bank Examiner, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency; Board Advisor, Sherlocq."Running a banking group across more than 35 markets meant living with regulatory complexity as a daily operational reality. Our teams were talented and diligent but the tools available forced them into a process that was slow, fragmented and heavily manual. Sherlocq solves that problem. It gives compliance and legal professionals the structured multi-jurisdictional intelligence that I would have wanted for my team. This is the platform the industry has always needed,” said Arnold Ekpe, Former Group Chief Executive Officer, Ecobank Group; Board Advisor, Sherlocq.ABOUT SHERLOCQSherlocq Inc. is a US-incorporated AI technology company (Delaware) with principal offices in New York and Abu Dhabi, UAE, and the creator of the first AI-native regulatory intelligence platform purpose-built for global financial services. The company has completed a pre-seed financing round backed by investors across the US, UAE, and Europe. Designed for compliance officers, lawyers, risk professionals, regulators, and governance teams, the platform delivers multi-jurisdiction regulatory research, document intelligence, and sanctions intelligence, with workflow automation and deeper enterprise capabilities on the near-term roadmap. Sherlocq is certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 standards and is available globally on web, iOS, and Android.

‘Netflix Watches You’: Lawsuit Accuses Streaming Giant of Spying on Users

—Jonathan Raa/NurPhoto—Getty Images(SeaPRwire) - Netflix 正被德克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿起诉,他指责这家流媒体平台“监视德州人,包括儿童,并在用户不知情或未经同意的情况下收集其数据。”帕克斯顿表示,Netflix 曾承诺“公司不收集并整合用户数据,儿童个人资料经过专门设计以保护儿童”。但事实上,他指控该公司“悄悄建立了一个规模惊人的行为监控系统”。他在周一提起的诉讼中表示:“该系统要求让德州人和他们的孩子沉迷于屏幕,然后从中提取他们所能提供的所有数据。”帕克斯顿——这位共和党人正在竞选美国参议院席位——声称 Netflix 涉嫌违反《德克萨斯州欺骗性贸易行为法》。诉讼文件中写道:“当你观看 Netflix 时,Netflix 也在监视你。”帕克斯顿还指责该流媒体公司使用“黑暗模式”,例如自动播放功能,“操纵用户采取 Netflix 希望他们采取的行动”,从而剥夺了“让用户离开屏幕的自然中断点”。一位 Netflix 发言人告诉《时代》杂志,该公司打算在法庭上回应这些指控。“对于伟大的德克萨斯州和帕克斯顿总检察长,我们谦逊地认为,这项诉讼毫无根据,且基于错误和扭曲的信息,”该发言人称。“Netflix 高度重视我们会员的隐私,并遵守我们在全球运营地区的隐私和数据保护法律。”法院文件引用了前 Netflix 首席执行官里德· Hastings 在 2020 年发表的评论,当时他表示公司并未整合所有人的数据。 “我们不收集任何东西。我们真正关注的是让我们的会员开心,我们并没有卷入围绕广告的所有争议,” Hastings 在一次电话会议上表示。 诉讼文件称:“Netflix 将订阅服务宣传为远离大科技公司监控的避风港:按月付费,避免追踪。”德州人相信了这一承诺。Netflix 违背了承诺——构建了一个正是用户为逃避而付费的数据收集系统。帕克斯顿要求发布临时禁止令,阻止 Netflix “收集、分享、出售、披露或使用任何它收集的关于德州消费者的数据”。 他还要求 Netflix“删除”所有针对德州人的数据收集内容,并要求公司保证不会在未事先获得用户的“明确知情同意”的情况下将用户数据用于定向广告。 作为经济处罚,这位德州官员希望 Netflix 为每项违规行为支付最高达 1 万美元的民事罚款。本周,帕克斯顿与 LG 达成和解协议,此前他于去年 12 月对这家电子公司以及另外四家类似公司提起诉讼,指控它们“监视”德州人。 和解协议要求 LG 更新其智能电视,在查看观看信息协议时向用户显示披露声明。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Asia Summit on Global Health and Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair concluded successfully

HONG KONG, May 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The sixth Asia Summit on Global Health (ASGH), jointly organised by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), and the 17th Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair (Medical Fair), organised by the HKTDC and co-organised by the Hong Kong MedTech Association, have concluded successfully. As one of the two flagship events of International Healthcare Week, the ASGH gathered some 3,000 participants from 43 countries and regions and arranged over 400 one‑on‑one deal-making meetings, while also facilitating the signing of multiple cooperation agreements, with a strong focus on the application of artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, the Medical Fair welcomed some 13,000 buyers from 61 countries and regions for sourcing and networking. More than 670 business matching meetings were arranged during the fair, supporting buyers and exhibitors in identifying potential partners and advancing concrete business discussions. Together, the two flagship events facilitated over 1,000 high-quality collaborations and connections, fully demonstrating the synergy between medical technology, investment and industry applications.Over 90 global leaders share insight into healthcare innovation development and AI applicationsThe sixth ASGH, a two-day event jointly organised by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the HKTDC, has concluded under the theme Fuelling Healthcare Breakthroughs, focusing on public health, frontier healthcare technologies, AI breakthroughs, healthcare investment and the silver health. The ASGH brought together over 90 international healthcare officials, scientific pioneers, Nobel laureate, investors and corporate leaders to share insight and explore pathways to accelerate innovation across the global healthcare ecosystem.At Plenary Session I – Strengthening Pandemic Preparedness through Global Collaboration. Prof Ibrahim Abubakar, Vice‑Provost (Health) and Professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, University College London, said: “Research platforms need to be developed long in advance of pandemics, and we must invest in infectious disease infrastructure, and beyond, whether it’s in AI technology or in disease management.”Plenary Session II – Fuelling Healthcare Breakthroughs centred on the commercialisation of medical research, biomedical innovation and healthcare investment opportunities. Jonathan Symonds, Chair of GSK, said: “All developed countries are now facing ageing, low birth rates and an increasing impact of chronic disease. So, it's no longer just a health system problem, but it's now an economic problem.”During the Dialogue with Global Pioneer in Health session, Prof Michael Levitt, 2013 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry and Robert W and Vivian K Cahill Professor of Cancer Research at the Stanford University School of Medicine, said that Hong Kong’s healthcare system possesses unique advantages and high-quality statistical data, making it potentially more valuable for research than the US and other countries or regions, in areas such as longevity.The ASGH featured multiple thematic sessions spotlighting the application of AI in healthcare. Sustaining the momentum of the “Intelligence at Scale: How AI is Powering Real-World Healthcare Revolution” session on the first day, another thematic session on the second day, “Transforming Healthcare through Digital Health & AI Innovations”, explored how digital technologies and artificial intelligence are reshaping healthcare systems. Natasha Chhatrapati, Senior Director, Business Transformation Lead for International, Pfizer Inc., said: “AI is compressing timelines across the entire healthcare journey, from drug development and clinical research to how we engage with physicians and how patients consume care.”The session “The Next Frontier in China’s Healthcare Industry” examined strategies to advance the Chinese Mainland healthcare sector. Dr James Xue, Founder, Chairman and CEO of CANbridge Pharmaceuticals Inc, said: “China has an edge because of the population. A bigger population base will allow companies to build better drug candidates.”With silver health emerging as a major global focus, the Silver Health Chapter included the session “Unlocking Growth in Silver Health: From Precision Medicine to Smart Ageing Innovations”, which brought together leading experts to discuss challenges and opportunities arising from population ageing. Dr Alex Mihailidis, Associate Vice‑President, International Partnerships and Professor at the University of Toronto and Scientific Director at AGE‑WELL, provided in‑depth insight into breakthroughs in prevention and treatment of age‑related diseases, offering guidance for the development of the silver health economy and smart ageing solutions. He said: “For a technology to be successful with older people, it’s not just the technology, but also the service delivery model, as well as the practice and policy.”The newly introduced session “CSO Insights: Catalysing Scientific Breakthroughs and Investments for Future Health” featured discussions on research strategy and the acceleration of scientific discoveries into practical applications. Dr Li Xiang, Senior Vice President, Co-President and Chief Scientific Officer, Innovative Medicines Division, Fosun Pharma, said: “In our business, it is very important to begin with the end in mind. When you set out to do your discovery program, you must already know what the unmet needs are and how difficult the clinical trials will be.”Over 400 deal‑making sessions drive investment and business matchingBeyond thought leadership, the ASGH continued to serve as an effective platform for deal‑making and investment matching. Dedicated deal-making at the ASGH facilitated one‑to‑one meetings to promote tangible collaboration.During the ASGH, over 400 business and investment matching meetings were arranged, attracting investment institutions and healthcare enterprises from Europe, the US, Asia and the Guangdong‑Hong Kong‑Macao Greater Bay Area to explore opportunities in investment, technology deployment and market expansion.Colin Tan, Director of Operations at TusPark Holdings, an investor from the UK, said: “This year, I brought around 15 UK healthcare and life sciences companies to exhibit at the UK Pavilion. The ASGH has been an excellent platform to forge such connections. We are now facilitating a significant partnership in cancer research between a leading UK organisation and a Hong Kong counterpart.”ASGH also featured the ASGH Business Hub and the InnoHealth Showcase, bringing together some 180 healthcare innovation companies from 12 countries and regions to present cutting‑edge solutions across biotechnology, digital health and medical technologies.Strategic Partner of this year’s Summit, Shanghai Industrial Investment (Holdings) led multiple subsidiaries in exhibiting at the ASGH. Gu Feng, Chief Finance and Investment Officer, said that the ASGH fully showcased Hong Kong’s international competitiveness: “Chinese companies expanding overseas will come to Hong Kong, and foreign companies seeking to procure will do the same. Here we can not only acquire resources, but also connect and match resources, talent, capital, and other key elements.”AQ Biotech from Finland, exhibiting at ASGH for the first time, said that their objective was to explore the Asian market. They view Hong Kong as a vital hub that adds internationally recognised credibility, connectivity and commercial acumen, helping them take their work global.Dr Iman Manavitehrani, Founder and Director of SDIP Innovations, the Australian exhibitor returning for the second year, said: “Last year’s visit led directly to an IGNITE grant from HSITP, and we are now part of the first Australian cohort based here. With Hong Kong as our gateway to the GBA and Chinese Mainland, I am confident the connections made at the ASGH will lead to further collaboration and partnership.”Third-time exhibitor, Prof Leung Kam-tong, Founder and CEO of local healthcare startup Homing Pharmaceuticals, said: “We’ve already reconnected with three investors here for in-depth discussions on our fundraising strategy, taking our navigated CAR-T therapy to first-in-human clinical trials. Sessions outside my field sparked new ideas around refining the therapy and exploring new directions. I also met professors from Australia and Singapore, and look forward to exploring international R&D collaborations as we bring this therapy worldwide.”Building bridges for “go global” and other cross‑border healthcare collaborationsBuilding on its track record of facilitating collaboration, the ASGH enabled the signing of 10 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), such as those between the HKSH Medical Group and Siemens Healthineers, as well as Australian AI-powered clinical documentation platform startup Heidi Health, which signed separate agreements with local medical group EC Healthcare and Hong Kong Metropolitan University. These collaborations will drive deeper cooperation, including AI‑enabled healthcare applications and clinical research, further reinforced the ASGH’s role as a bridge connecting the Chinese Mainland and international healthcare ecosystems. Notably, HKSH Medical Group and Siemens Healthineers signed an agreement, formally establishing HKSH as Siemens Healthineers’ first Photon Counting Computed Tomography Simulation (PCCT-Sim) Reference Site in Asia.On the second day, the GoGlobal CONNECT series: Hong Kong as a Superconnector to Empower Global Expansion of Pharmaceutical Enterprises workshop brought together experts in regulation, clinical trials, IP protection and distribution to share practical insight on international expansion. Prof Bernard Cheung, Chief Executive Officer, Greater Bay Area International Clinical Trial Institute, said: “Public hospitals in Hong Kong have very good electronic medical records that go back 30 years. It’s a unique asset that benefits not just people in Hong Kong but the world, as it allows us to study the long-term progression of diseases.”The ASGH also featured the “GoGlobal Connect” and the Business of Healthcare Advisory Zone, enabling healthcare enterprises to connect with service providers and receive practical support for developing “go global” strategies. Xiang Jun, Chairman of 365 Intelligence (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd, said that the ASGH helped them gain a deeper understanding of Hong Kong’s professional services and of HKTDC’s “GoGlobal Connect” initiative. The company is particularly interested in Hong Kong’s research data and service resources, and plans to establish research operations in Hong Kong in the long term. Mark Xu, Regional Director of Sales and Marketing, Guangzhou Wondfo Biotech Co, Ltd, also successfully connected with service providers, including DKSH and the Greater Bay Area International Clinical Trial Institute, through this workshop. They engaged in in-depth discussions on potential collaboration opportunities for “going global”.During the summit, the HKTDC signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Hong Kong Singapore Business Association (HSBA), supporting Mainland enterprises’ “going global” via Hong Kong to target the Singapore and ASEAN markets. Prime Minister and Minister for Finance of Singapore Lawrence Wong visited Hong Kong in March this year, during which both governments agreed to deepen cooperation. The HSBA and the HKTDC, together with professional service providers, plan to strengthen trade and economic ties between the two cities. By leveraging their respective strengths and promoting complementary cooperation, they aim to drive business development, assist Chinese Mainland enterprises in expanding regionally and internationally, and enhance tripartite collaboration among Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Chinese Mainland.The Medical Fair brings together global industry players to foster diverse collaborations, strengthening Hong Kong’s status as a global healthcare hubThe Medical Fair was being held concurrently. Organised by the HKTDC and co-organised by the Hong Kong MedTech Association, the Medical Fair adopted the theme Innovations Boosting Smart Health Experience. Focusing on three key areas: MedTech, GeronTech, and Preventive Healthcare, the event provided a high-efficiency trade and matchmaking platform for global R&D institutions, manufacturers, and medical professionals to showcase the latest industry trends. The number of exhibitors featuring smart ageing products and green solutions doubled this year, with many showcasing innovative solutions integrating AI and robotics to meet evolving market demands.The Medical Fair featured some 300 exhibitors from 10 countries and regions, including Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, Macao, Taiwan, Australia, Canada, Korea, New Zealand, United States and Vietnam. The Fair featured seven major zones, including Startup Zone, Hospital Equipment and Digital Health, Biotech and Lab Diagnostics, Laboratory Technologies and Healthcare Services, Medical Supplies, and the World of Health and Wellness, showcasing the latest medical technologies and innovative solutions. Pavilions from leading local universities, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks, and the Hong Kong MedTech Association underscored a multi-sector commitment to fostering collaborative innovation across government, industry, academia, research, and investment sectors.Exhibitors acknowledged that AI has become a core driver of healthcare services, while the Medical Fair serves as a one-stop platform that brings together a complete healthcare ecosystem, successfully integrating AI, robotics technology and a wide range of smart medical devices. Wong Cheung Hang, Sales and Marketing Manager of Health Care & Co, a medical and rehabilitation equipment company in Hong Kong, said, “Buyers showed particular interest in our AI management systems, AI-assisted robots and various smart healthcare applications. With healthcare providers increasingly adopting smart health solutions, the market outlook is promising. We expect this fair to drive at least 20% business growth compared with last edition and enable us to promote smart rehabilitation technologies.” Many overseas exhibitors succeeded in securing business matching opportunities at the fair. Peter Li, Chief Executive Officer of first-time exhibitor GenomeMe Lab Inc from Canada, said, “We connected with buyers from Hong Kong, Thailand and India, and identified potential local partners in the healthcare and hospital sectors. This will help us explore entry into hospital channels, establish distribution networks, and lay the groundwork for future expansion into Southeast Asia, Australia and Korea.”The Medical Fair has facilitated numerous cross-regional collaborations, serving as a key platform for industry exchange and business matching. Dresio Limited, participating in the Fair for the third time under the banner of Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks, showcased its contactless physiotherapy assessment system Accudex, drawing strong interest from buyers across Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, Singapore and the Philippines. Curtis Wong, Chief Operating Officer and Head of Research and Development of the company, said, “This year’s fair outperformed previous editions in footfall, business exchanges and partnership discussions. We have engaged with a large number of high-quality buyers from hospitals, rehabilitation centres and the insurance sector.” The company met with a Filipino buyer on the first day of the exhibition and subsequently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the third day, expanding its software into Southeast Asia, with the contract value expected to exceed HK$1 million.The Medical Fair was held concurrently with the ASGH and the Hospital Authority (HA) Convention, bringing together key industry stakeholders and generating strong synergy. Exhibitors were able to seize the opportunity to meet with numerous representatives from the Hospital Authority and major healthcare institutions, fostering meaningful exchanges and collaboration. Among them, first-time exhibitor PalmX Technology Limited showcased its palm vein biometric technology at the Startup Zone. Jeffrey Lo, Vice President of the company, was impressed by the Fair’s response, which exceeded his expectations. He added that within the first two days, they received over 20 enquiries from hospitals and healthcare institutions, including representatives from the Hospital Authority, and attracted interest from overseas buyers in Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and India, with potential orders ranging from US$10,000 to several hundred thousand dollars.This year’s Medical Fair attracted a significant number of buyers from emerging markets seeking sourcing opportunities. Dr Keo Sovann, an otorhinolaryngologist from Orchid Hospital in Cambodia who visited the fair specifically for new medical equipment, said, “I met more than 10 exhibitors from Chinese Mainland, Australia and Malaysia, which has helped expanding our hospital’s procurement network and advanced our internationalization efforts. I am particularly interested in a Hong Kong company’s AI-powered medical imaging solutions and X-ray equipment; we are considering an order of 20 units.” A buyer from Morocco also attended the fair for the first time to source laboratory equipment. Rachid Zemmouri, Business Development Manager of Promamec, said he met with at least 15 exhibitors from Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, Taiwan and Indonesia. Discussions are underway on thermodynamics-related solutions with the aim of application to eye-disease treatment. Subject to satisfactory progress, he plans to invite partners to Morocco for site visits. He added that the company has an annual procurement budget of approximately US$70 million and intends to return for future sourcing.The Fair hosted over 50 themed forums and seminars, with leading technology companies, industry experts and academics sharing the latest industry trends, technological innovations and practical insights to foster in-depth exchange, collaboration and inspire trade buyers.

Event Report: TBS Group’s Akanetsu Holds Commissioning Ceremony for Hydrogen Heat Source Facility JCN Newswire

Event Report: TBS Group’s Akanetsu Holds Commissioning Ceremony for Hydrogen Heat Source Facility

TOKYO, May 13, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Akasaka Heating & Cooling Supply Co., Ltd ("Akanetsu", a TBS Group company) held a Group "Hydrogen Heat Source Facility Commissioning Ceremony" on Tuesday, May 12, 2026.The company supplies heating, cooling, and electricity to various buildings in the Akasaka 5-chome district of Minato-ku, Tokyo. In renewing its heat source facilities, the company has introduced hydrogen utilization equipment designed with safety in mind, while considering the potential of green hydrogen as a next-generation energy source. Full-scale operations commenced in May 2026. This facility marks the first instance in Tokyo where a private heat supply operator, for commercial purposes, accepts and stores green hydrogen, utilizing it for power generation via fuel cells and for heat supply via hydrogen-co-fired boilers.First, Ryujiro Abe, President & Chief Executive Officer of TBS Holdings, stated: "The full-scale operation of this green hydrogen facility represents a major step towards the decarbonization of urban infrastructure, and demonstrates the potential of a new social infrastructure from Akasaka. Moving forward, we will continue to accumulate knowledge while ensuring safety and a stable supply, and we will continue to communicate our efforts to society through our GX initiatives. I would like to express my sincere gratitude once again for everyone's support."Following this, Yuriko Koike, Governor of Tokyo, stated: “Hydrogen is one way to address both stable energy supply and decarbonization. Precisely because the supply of fossil fuels is unstable today, hydrogen is attracting more attention than ever as a game changer that can turn a challenge into an opportunity. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is advancing a range of initiatives toward realizing a hydrogen society under three key concepts: ‘produce,’ ‘transport’ and ‘use.’ This hydrogen heat source facility is the first initiative to make full-scale use of green hydrogen in the very heart of Tokyo, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has supported its introduction. The facility is also expected to use green hydrogen procured through market-based trial transactions conducted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. I believe this is an extremely important initiative for expanding demand for green hydrogen in Tokyo. Taking today as a starting point, let us work together to further accelerate our progress toward realizing a clean and safe hydrogen society.”During the ceremony, guests were shown the ‘hydrogen storage alloy’ contained within the plant's hydrogen tanks, enabling the safe storage of hydrogen at low pressure.Subsequently, a live broadcast link was established with the hydrogen plant in Akasaka 5-chome, where the safety-focused hydrogen utilization facilities generate electricity and steam (thermal energy) from green hydrogen. The pure hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity directly from hydrogen and emit no CO₂ during power generation. The electricity generated is used for lighting and power systems within the plant facility, and in the event of an emergency, they can operate autonomously to secure power for essential power needs within the plant.The hydrogen released from the hydrogen tanks then passes through piping within the facility to hydrogen-co-fired once-through boilers, where it is used in combination with city gas to produce steam (thermal energy). At the maximum hydrogen cofiring ratio of 50% by volume, each boiler is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 21% compared with operation using city gas alone. The reduction effect may vary depending on operating conditions. (*The reduction effect varies depending on operating conditions.) The green hydrogen used in the facility is transported regularly from Yamanashi Prefecture. The introduction of the facility has received a grant from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.Morimasa Takagi, Representative Director and President of Akanetsu, reflected on the start of full-scale operations, stating: "I am deeply moved to have reached this milestone. This initiative began several years ago, and we have faced many challenges along the way." He went on to share his passion for further hydrogen utilization in the years ahead. "This year, Akanetsu joined the Council for Study of Hydrogen Supply Systems and Pipelines in Tokyo. It’s a great dream and source of daily inspiration that we’ll see hydrogen pipelines running through the streets of Akasaka, with TBS's GX efforts evolving even further."ReferenceMar 27, 2025 Press release: Akanetsu Installs Heat Source Facilities Utilizing Green Hydrogen, First Such Initiative by a District Heating and Cooling Company in Central Tokyohttps://www.acnnewswire.com/press-release/All/97425/Akanetsu-Installs-Heat-Source- Akasaka Heating & Cooling Supply Co., LtdAkasaka Heating & Cooling Supply Co., Ltd ("Akanetsu") provides a stable supply of energy produced by two underground plants in the form of chilled water, steam, and electricity to the TBS Broadcasting Center and other buildings in the Akasaka 5-chome area of Minato-ku, Tokyo. Akanetsu has a business continuity plan (BCP) in place to ensure that its operations and business activities and the daily functions of the district can continue uninterrupted in the event of a major disaster. Akanetsu is committed to supporting local lifestyles and contributing to society by introducing safe and secure facilities utilizing hydrogen to realize the future of green hydrogen as a next-generation energy source and a decarbonized society. https://www.akanetsu.co.jp/Media Inquiries Regarding This ReleaseAkasaka Heating & Cooling Supply Co., Ltd:info@akanetsu.co.jp Copyright 2026 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

SAP Unveils the Autonomous Enterprise

ORLANDO, May 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - At SAP Sapphire in 2026, SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) introduced the Autonomous Enterprise to help enhance the world’s most critical business workflows, so that humans and AI work together to meet the accelerating demands of global business profitably, strategically and safely. “For the mission-critical processes of our customers,‘almost right’just isn’t good enough,” said Christian Klein, CEO of SAP SE,“By uniting SAP Business AI Platform with SAP Autonomous Suite, we anchor AI agents in the business processes, data and governance so they can deliver accurate, compliant and secure outcomes, unlocking new sources of revenue and meaningful cost savings.”The Autonomous Enterprise includes a unified AI platform for building, contextualizing and governing agents, an autonomous suite that executes core business operations and a new user experience that redefines how people work with enterprise software.Introducing SAP Business AI PlatformSAP Business AI Platform is a new foundation for building and deploying enterprise AI grounded in real business context. SAP Business AI Platform now unifies SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP Business Data Cloud and SAP Business AI into a single, governed environment.At its core is the SAP Knowledge Graph solution, which gives AI agents a structured map of business entities, processes and relationships across a customer’s SAP landscape. Joule Studio is SAP’s AI-first solution for building enterprise agents, applications and agentic workflows. Developers can build using the no-code, pro-code and AI frameworks of their choice on SAP-managed infrastructure that is secure, scalable and optimized for enterprise AI.Deploying SAP Autonomous Suite Across Every Business Function and IndustryBuilding on this foundation, SAP also introduced SAP Autonomous Suite, which enables SAP’s existing business applications with AI agents capable of running processes from start-to-finish.The suite will deploy more than 50 domain-specific Joule Assistants across finance, supply chain, procurement, human capital management and customer experience. These assistants will automate end-to-end processes by orchestrating a subset of over 200 specialized agents to execute precise tasks. For example, the new Autonomous Close Assistant can compress the financial close process from weeks to days by automating journal entries, reconciliation and error resolution across the entire process.SAP also launched Industry AI, expanding its deep industry portfolio through seven autonomous solutions that will enable start-to-finish industry processes and embed sector-specific process logic, data models and regulatory requirements.

With SAP’s Autonomous Asset Management scenario, AI agents are designed to analyze data from thousands of past incidents, identify the likely root cause and generate pre-filled work orders with the right tools and proven fixes from other sites.Designing the Autonomous User ExperienceThe company also revealed Joule Work, redefining how users engage with SAP software. Instead of navigating individual applications and entering data across several screens, users will now interact primarily with Joule. By describing a desired business outcome, Joule will orchestrate the right combination of workflows, data and agents to get it done.Joule Work goes beyond conversation, proactively surfacing relevant insights and automating routine tasks behind the scenes so work moves forward even when humans aren’t actively steering it. It will be available on desktop, mobile and voice across SAP and non-SAP systems.Accelerating the Customer Journey Toward Autonomy with €100 Million InfusionSAP evolved its customer and partner programs to help accelerate the organization’s journey to the Autonomous Enterprise. To catalyze adoption, the company has launched a €100 million fund for SAP partners to help customers deploy SAP-built AI assistants and agents.

Dr. Shui On Leung Invited to the 2026 LifeArc Translational Science Summit in the UK

HONG KONG, May 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SinoMab BioScience Limited (“SinoMab” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 03681.HK) is pleased to announce that Dr. Shui On Leung, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, was invited as a special guest to present at the 2026 LifeArc Translational Science Summit in London,UK. As one of the most influential global events in translational medicine, the summit brought together top scientists, practicing clinicians, industry leaders, policymakers and institutional investors from across the globe. During the event, Dr. Shui On Leung delivered a keynote speech, systematically outlining SinoMab’s R&D strategies for autoimmune diseases and the latest clinical progress of its core pipeline, while engaging in in-depth dialogues with international peers.Hosted by LifeArc, a prestigious UK medical research charity, the annual summit is committed to bridging early-stage scientific research and real-world clinical application, with profound expertise and influence in addressing rare diseases and wide-ranging unmet medical needs. This year’s summit centered on how translational research can accelerate the entire journey from laboratory discoveries to patient access, by advancing novel treatment modalities, transforming clinical practice, shaping health policies and driving commercial innovation. Attendees held interdisciplinary discussions on cutting-edge areas including antibody drugs, gene therapy and cell therapy, exploring solutions to break through core bottlenecks in translational medicine and boost integrated development across industry, academia, research and clinical sectors. Dr. Shui On Leung’s invitation to this high-profile event marks high recognition from leading international authorities of SinoMab’s innovative efforts in immunotherapy.In his keynote address, Dr. Shui On Leung analyzed the current landscape and prevailing challenges in global R&D for autoimmune disease therapeutics, and elaborated on SinoMab’s differentiated innovation framework anchored in “First-in-Class” and “Best-in-Class” drug development. He gave a detailed introduction to SM17, the Company’s flagship humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the interleukin-25 (IL-25) receptor. By precisely binding to IL-25 receptor, a key upstream alarmin molecule regulating type 2 immune responses, SM17 blocks inflammatory cascade reactions at the source. It holds broad therapeutic potential for a spectrum of inflammatory and immune-mediated disorders, including atopic dermatitis (AD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Dr. Leung shared a series of landmark milestones achieved by SM17 recently. In the AD treatment landscape, Phase 1b clinical data demonstrated outstanding therapeutic efficacy. In the high-dose cohort, 91.7% of patients reported significant itch relief measured by the NRS-4 scale, 75% achieved EASI 75 skin lesion improvement, and 41.7% attained complete or near-complete clearance of AD symptoms (IGA 0/1). Such clinical outcomes outperform existing IL-4/IL-13 targeted monoclonal antibodies, while the product also boasts a more favorable safety profile compared with JAK inhibitors. Building on these promising results, the Phase II clinical trial of SM17 for moderate-to-severe AD completed first patient dosing in mainland China on 31 March 2026. The trial plans to enroll approximately 210 participants, with full enrollment expected in the second half of 2026 and topline clinical data slated for release in the first half of 2027. In terms of administration convenience, the Phase I bridging study of SM17 subcutaneous formulation released positive topline results on 25 March 2026. Data from 30 healthy volunteers confirmed the subcutaneous injection route with satisfactory safety and stable pharmacokinetic performance. Only one mild Grade 1 injection site rash was reported, which resolved spontaneously without intervention, and robust absolute bioavailability was validated, laying a solid foundation for the development of more user-friendly subcutaneous dosing regimens. Furthermore, SM17 has successfully expanded its therapeutic indications to IBD. Its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis was officially approved by China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) on 24 February 2026. Relevant bridging studies were finalized in the same month, paving the way for direct progression to Phase II clinical development. Dr. Leung also highlighted the Company’s innovative early-stage pipeline, including the anti-CGC antibody (a first-in-class humanized anti-γc antibody), which has demonstrated potential in the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as alopecia areata and vitiligo, with an IND submission planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. A novel bispecific antibody targeting RANKL and sclerostin has demonstrated superior efficacy over marketed therapies in preclinical studies for bone-related disorders, and its IND filing is targeted for the first half of 2027. Dr. Leung emphasized that by focusing on innovative and untapped drug targets, SinoMab has built a synergistic product portfolio, striving to deliver safer, more effective and more accessible breakthrough therapies for patients worldwide.Being invited to this LifeArc Translational Science Summit is not only a strong recognition from a respected international institution of SinoMab’s innovative edge and exploratory work in antibody R&D, but also a key opportunity to deepen our global partnerships. Through in-depth exchanges with leading scientists, clinical researchers and senior executives of multinational pharmaceutical companies, SinoMab has further expanded its international academic network and potential partnership channels, laying a solid foundation for future technology in-licensing, co-development, out-licensing and commercialization.
