森林城市金融特区:为什么包括中东家族办公室的全球资金正涌向东南亚

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 2026-04-16 / 15:38 UTC+8 在地缘政治风险随时可能改变资本流向的当下,东南亚展现出一种愈发稀缺的特质:在多方持续合作下实现的增长与稳定。而位于该区域南部走廊的森林城市金融特区(SFZ),正在将这一愿景落地为实体基础设施。 2026年2月28日,中东爆发了历年来最严重之一的冲突升级,人道与经济冲击深远。美以联军对伊朗多座城市发动空袭,导致最高领袖哈梅内伊及多名高级官员身亡。伊朗随即动用导弹和无人机,对以色列及设有美军基地的海湾国家展开报复性攻击。伤亡人数迅速攀升,金融冲击接踵而至。迪拜国际机场一度关闭,跑道停飞,航站楼空置。对于长期将海湾地区视为避风港的资本而言,这种停摆状态清楚地表明,市场对中东地区的稳定性信心已经动摇。 东南亚政策制定者在设计面向全球资本的另类基础设施时,似乎早已预见到这样的场景——既有财富通道受阻、资本亟需稳定落脚点。森林城市金融特区(SFZ)正是其中最核心的布局之一。 金融特区由政府正式批准设立,于2024年9月20日在柔佛-新加坡经济特区(JSSEZ)内启动,为符合条件的机构提供优惠税率:家族办公室投资收益享受0%税率(10年豁免期,符合条件可再延续10年);金融与科技领域的合资格机构享受5%的企业所得税;知识型工作者享受15%的个人所得税。金融特区获得马来西亚总理安瓦尔·易卜拉欣的背书,距新加坡仅约2公里,旨在为面向成熟东南亚司法管辖区的财富管理机构,提供高资本效率的基地。截至2025年底,已有6家单一家族办公室在金融特区框架下正式获批,管理资产总额(AUM)达到4亿令吉,超出当局初步预期。在收到30多份意向书后,证券委员会将金融特区的设定目标为到2026年底AUM达到20亿令吉,可见市场兴趣浓厚。 正如CNBC在《Inside Wealth》栏目中指出的:“伊朗战争动摇了迪拜作为全球财富中心的地位,大批外籍人士争相撤离,家族办公室和财富管理机构正在重新评估其在中东的布局。” 彭博报道亦称:“伊朗战争的爆发,撼动了这座近年来吸引了来自整个地区数十亿美元财富的城市,许多亚洲最富有的家族正在重新评估在迪拜的风险敞口。” 东南亚长期以来吸引着寻求亚洲增长机遇的资本,而如今它提供的要素愈见珍贵:和谐、稳定,以及一如既往的促进合作的环境。但对于家族办公室的管理者及其顾问而言,问题更为具体,当传统金融中心面临前所未有的地缘政治风险时,资本将流向何方? 马来西亚的森林城市金融特区是什么? 马来西亚森林城市金融特区,正是该国政府应对上述情景的方案,也是对新加坡容纳瓶颈的补位。金融特区于2024年9月启动,提供一套与新加坡生态体系互补的监管框架,并为符合条件的单一家族办公室和金融机构提供独特的成本与税收优势。 2026年2月的冲击加速了既有的趋势。多年来,凡涉足海湾地区敞口的资本——无论是是中东本地资金,还是通过区域中心进行配置的国际资本——都在持续向东南亚分散布局。 新加坡是主要的受益者。到2025年中,该国已容纳2,720家单一家族办公室,这得益于深思熟虑的政策:新加坡的可变资本公司(VCC)框架、全球投资者计划(GIP)、13O/13U税收激励,以及整体稳健的监管环境,使其成为成熟财富架构在东南亚的默认司法管辖区,使新加坡成为成熟财富架构在东南亚的默认司法管辖区。 路透社3月报道称,据行业顾问和律师透露,大量客户“正在咨询或已采取行动,将其存放在迪拜的资产转移至区域金融中心新加坡和香港。”然而,新加坡家族办公室的繁荣虽然验证了区域投资逻辑,但在仅710平方公里的城市国家,超过2,720家家族办公室争抢人才、服务提供商和优质办公空间,必然推高成本,形成承载能力的瓶颈,从而使周边司法管辖区受益。 这自然产生了溢出需求:一些家族办公室希望享有东南亚司法管辖区的优势,但不愿承受新加坡的成本结构;另一些机构则出于运营韧性需要设立第二地点。问题在于,替代性司法管辖区能否满足机构资本所要求的治理、监管和互联互通标准。 马来西亚与柔佛-新加坡走廊:从竞争走向互补 答案或许不在于竞争,而在于将其优势向北延伸至跨过水域,延伸到更广阔的土地上。这里成本更低、灵活性更大,以及与新加坡足够近的距离,可利用其基础设施而无需承担高昂费用。 几十年来,新加坡与马来西亚最南端的柔佛州之间的经济关系,主要呈现一种不对称格局。新加坡资本和游客向北流动,马来西亚工人向南通勤。但在过去两年,两国政府已从宽泛的愿景走向具体的政策框架,旨在促进跨境经济一体化,支撑深度融合的基础设施正在成形。 这一转变的核心是柔佛-新加坡经济特区(JSSEZ),由马来西亚总理安瓦尔·易卜拉欣和新加坡总理黄循财于2025年1月7日正式签署的双边框架。该协议确立了跨境投资、劳动力流动和基础设施发展的协调路径。 在The Edge-HSBC柔佛-新加坡经济特区2025年论坛上,汇丰银行马来西亚首席执行官拿督Omar Siddiq指出,“柔佛-新加坡经济特区将帮助马来西亚提升价值链”,新马两地企业均表现出浓厚兴趣。更广泛来看,今年4月,尽管面临全球逆风,世界银行将马来西亚的增长预期上调至4.4%,原因是宏观经济基本面相对坚韧。 在这个广泛的框架内,更具针对性的是位于柔佛州南部端森林城市岛上的金融特区(SFZ)。金融特区代表了马来西亚力图该地区流动财富份额的举措,为单一家族办公室、资产管理公司和金融机构提供与全国地区有别的监管和税收环境。更重要的是,它表明政府对该特区的政治承诺已转化为落地法律和基础设施的完善。森林城市的住宅区、交通连接和商业设施均已投入运营。 税收方案的比较分析 金融特区的价值主张清晰。符合条件的投资收益在首十年内享受 0% 的税率,并可延长至二十年。这与新加坡13O/13U计划及香港家族办公室优惠所提供的名义税率持平,但关键差异在于准入门槛:最低AUM要求仅为3,000万令吉,而新加坡为2,000万新元,香港则为2.4亿港元。 司法管辖区 家族办公室投资收益税 标准企业所得税 最低AUM 单一家族办公室数量 森林城市金融特区(马来西亚) 0%(10年+可延10年) 5%(获批实体) 3,000万令吉(约750万美元) 6家(已获批) 新加坡 0%(13O/13U计划) 17% 2,000万新元(约1,500万美元) 2,720家(2025年上半年) 香港 0% 16.5% 2.4亿港元(约3,000万美元) 3380家以上(2025年底) 对于中端单一家族办公室、下一代财富持有者,以及希望将财富架构正规化的创一代而言,森林城市消除了此前新加坡和香港制度遥不可及的资本门槛。此外,新加坡要求家族办公室至少雇佣一名非家族成员的专业投资人士,这一合规要求将外部人士引入了部分家族可能更希望内部保密的架构中。森林城市则没有此类要求。 逻辑呼之欲出:新加坡作为运营枢纽,森林城市金融特区作为持有架构。这一组合呼应了全球已有的成熟模式——都柏林与伦敦、卢森堡与法兰克福、开曼与纽约。每一对组合都兼具运营深度与结构效率。森林城市-新加坡是东南亚版本,且两地仅相距2公里。 地理位置让这种模式切实可行。森林城市距新加坡核心商业区仅约40分钟车程,距樟宜机场约60分钟车程。计划于2026年12月完工的柔佛巴鲁-新加坡快速交通系统(RTS)连接线,将在5分钟内连接兀兰与武吉查加,双向每小时可运送1万名乘客,消除双地模式实际障碍。专业人士将能够在两个司法管辖区之间无缝开展日常工作。 森林城市特别金融区(SFZ)区位示意图,距新加坡约2公里,位于柔佛-新加坡经济特区(JSSEZ)范围内。 如何在森林城市设立家族办公室? 截至2026年初,金融特区已有6家家族办公室正式获批运营,申报AUM总额达4亿令吉。该地办公室租金较推出前基准水平上涨267%,入驻率已达59%。在金融特区之外,更广泛的JSSEZ框架也在大规模驱动资本形成:2025年前九个月,柔佛州吸引获批投资总额达910亿令吉。这些指标使其与其他停滞不前的国家特区形成鲜明差异。 数字固然反映了事实,而同等重要的是准入机制的结构。 按2025年10月9日最新的指引,马来西亚证券监督委员会(Securities Commission Malaysia)为金融特区的准入提供了权威框架。合格实体包括:单一家族办公室、基金管理公司、财务顾问公司、金融科技公司(需具备市场发展身份)以及经批准的金融机构。准入路径根据不同类型主体有差异化设置: 家族办公室负责人:符合条件的投资收入享受10年0%税率(可延长至20年);最低AUM为3,000万令吉。金融特区通道下的“马来西亚第二家园(MM2H)”计划提供从50万令吉起的结构化长居路径,并为符合条件的负责人提供简化审批流程。新加坡机场、医疗机构及国际学校均在45分钟可达范围内。 金融专业人士:在金融特区注册实体内的获批知识型工作,适用15%个人所得税率,最长可持续15年,涵盖基金经理、金融分析师及合规岗位。 关注柔佛-新加坡经济特区的投资者:金融特区是更广泛柔佛-新加坡经济特区的组成部分之一,该双边框架在房地产、基础设施及金融行业之外的跨境商业活动均有重要影响。 简言之,该框架旨在提供多种选择:追求税收效率的负责人、寻求职业流动性的专业人士,以及希望布局柔佛-新加坡经济特区走廊的投资者。 具体到设立单一家族办公室,相关步骤已明确规定: 根据《单一家族办公室激励计划官方指引》确认资格及所需文件,随后安排申请前咨询,讨论架构、资产构成、本地投资策略等相关事宜。 咨询之后(或同步进行),按照关键运营要求设立家族办公室,例如在马来西亚持牌机构开立银行账户。 按照证券监督委员会要求准备并提交文件,包括但不限于公司架构、正式商业文件、AUM明细、招聘及支出计划、本地承诺证明等。 取得证券监督委员会出具的认证函后,将该认证函连同所得税申报表一并提交至马来西亚内陆税收局。 维持并完成年度认证程序,以确保持续符合计划要求。 更多详情可查阅证券监督委员会官方网站。 基于稳定与合作的避风港 森林城市的底层逻辑很简单:资本永远流向稳定与合作的地方。金融特区是马来西亚将稳定性、具有竞争力的激励措施以及与新加坡的近距离三者结合的总体体现,使其能够吸引相当规模的全球流动财富。初步验证已经显现,基础设施也在不断完善。对于正在开展尽职调查的投资者而言,金融特区及证券监督委员会的官方文件均公开可查。 在这个大国竞争再度激化、区域冲突频发、制度体系日趋碎片化的时代,森林城市提供了一条不同以往的路径——一它将和谐稳定与低调雄心结合在一起,显得尤为难得。对于追求韧性而不只是回报的资本来说,这或许才是最持久的价值所在。 2026-04-16 此财经新闻稿由EQS via SeaPRwire.com转载。本公告内容由发行人全权负责。原文链接: http://www.todayir.com/sc/index.php

Isuzu and Toyota to Jointly Develop Japan’s First Mass-produced Light-duty Fuel Cell Electric Truck JCN Newswire

Isuzu and Toyota to Jointly Develop Japan’s First Mass-produced Light-duty Fuel Cell Electric Truck

TOKYO, Apr 16, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Isuzu Motors Limited (headquartered in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan; hereinafter "Isuzu") and Toyota Motor Corporation (headquartered in Toyota, Aichi, Japan; hereinafter "Toyota") have agreed to collaborate on the development toward the mass production of a next-generation light-duty fuel cell (FC) electric truck. This vehicle is based on Isuzu's "ELF EV" BEV*1 light-duty truck and combines Toyota's new fuel cell system (3rd-generation FC system); both companies will jointly develop the system to ensure its compatibility, and aiming to start production in FY2027, both companies will further advance technologies capable of supporting the high-utilization operating conditions unique to commercial vehicles, based on its multi-pathway approach to powertrains, while helping build a hydrogen society and carbon neutral logistics sector.Light-duty trucks are often used for deliveries to supermarkets, convenience stores, and other services that support everyday life. In many cases, these vehicles are equipped with refrigeration or frozen storage capabilities and make multiple deliveries per day, requiring long operating hours and being driven long distances. Under such operating conditions, quick energy replenishment is essential to maintaining operational efficiency.For such high-utilization applications, fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs)*2 which use hydrogen as a high-energy-density fuel, represent an effective option. Compared to BEVs, which face the challenge of long charging times, FCEVs can significantly reduce refueling time. Furthermore, because they offer a long driving range per refueling, they are well-suited for harsh operating environments. Furthermore, like BEVs, FCEVs produce little vibration or noise and emit no CO2 while in use, thereby contributing to reduced environmental impact.The new vehicle will be based on the ELF EV, launched in 2023 and designed using I-MACS*3, Isuzu's product development platform. It adopts Toyota's next-generation fuel cell stack, enhancing vehicle durability and extending its service life. One of the challenges to the widespread adoption of FCEVs is the high vehicle price point. Isuzu is working to reduce costs by optimizing the vehicle body structure and reviewing manufacturing processes. Meanwhile, Toyota is undertaking similar efforts through innovations in fuel cell design and manufacturing processes.In addition, by leveraging the technologies, expertise, and insights gained through the joint development of the next-generation fuel cell route bus "ERGA FCV", as well as the results of the FC light-duty truck social implementation project conducted by Commercial Japan Partnership Technologies Corporation, the two companies will advance the sophistication of control technologies and system improvements to enhance fuel cell durability, achieving the high levels of reliability and practicality required of commercial vehicles.As initiatives to expand hydrogen utilization advance at the national and local government levels, the two companies are working with local governments and businesses in each region to support the wider adoption of hydrogen mobility. Isuzu will broaden the options for hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles by putting Japan's strengths in FC technology into practical use, and will steadily advance efforts toward building a hydrogen society. Toyota positions hydrogen as an important energy source and is advancing various initiatives in producing, transporting, storing, and using hydrogen in collaboration with a wide range of partners across industries. Going forward, Toyota will continue to accelerate efforts to expand the use of hydrogen and contribute to the realization of a hydrogen society.*1 Battery Electric Vehicle*2 Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle*3 Abbreviation for Isuzu Modular Architecture and Component Standard. A development approach that enables the flexible combination of components and devices to meet diverse needs, applied in anticipation of future advancement in technologies and the expansion of vehicle types in the future."Achieving zero, and adding new value beyond it"As part of efforts to pass our beautiful "Home Planet" to the next generation, Toyota has identified and is helping to solve issues faced by individuals and overall society, which Toyota calls "Achieving Zero," hoping to help reduce the negative impacts caused by these issues to people and the environment to zero.

3 Years and 11 Months! ‘AI+All-in-One PV Storage’ Sigenergy Listed on HKEX: Fastest IPO Record for a Chinese Enterprise

HONG KONG, Apr 16, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sigenergy Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sigenergy” or “the company” Stock Code: 06656.HK) officially commenced trading on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) today. As the first “AI + All-in-One PV Storage” company to list on the exchange, Sigenergy has set a new record for the fastest IPO by a Chinese enterprise.The stock showed strong momentum on its debut, opening at HK$ 581, representing almost an 80% increase over the offer price. Market cap exceeded HK$140 billion. Based on the offer price of HK$324.20 per share, the company raised over HK$4.4 billion in its IPO. If the over-allotment option (greenshoe) is exercised in full, the total proceeds will reach HK$5.06 billion.A Milestone for the Company, the Beginning for a New ChapterFounded only 3 years and 11 months ago, Sigenergy’s rapid path to listing reflects its focus on defining new industry standards rather than following short-term market trends. The IPO attracted a prestigious group of cornerstone investors, highlighting the company’s strategic value in the 2026 Hong Kong market.At the listing ceremony, Mr. Xu Yingtong, Founder and CEO of Sigenergy, together with Mr. Zhang Xianmiao, President of Sigenergy, witnessed this pivotal milestone in the company’s journey.Mr. Xu Yingtong stated: “Listing marks a new beginning for us. Guided by our ‘AI in All’ mission, we are doubling down on energy storage and accelerating R&D to fortify our competitive edge. Our goal is to ensure that AI translates into tangible value for our customers. As we advance our global expansion and refine our international network, we are proud to share the story of ‘China’s Intelligent Manufacturing’ in the renewable energy sector. We promise to uphold the highest standards of operational excellence, rewarding your trust with exceptional results and building a legacy as a transparent, reliable, and socially responsible enterprise.” Sigenergy’s cornerstone investors include world-class sovereign wealth funds and asset managers such as Temasek, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, UBS Asset Management, and BNP Paribas Asset Management. Other notable participants include Hillhouse, CPE, Boyu Capital, Gaoyi Asset Management, and Greenwoods Asset Management, alongside insurance and specialized funds like CPIC, ORIX, and Walden International.This diverse group of high-caliber investors signals a strong market consensus: Sigenergy is recognized as a unique player in the “AI + All-in-One PV Storage” sector, underpinned by proprietary technology, high entry barriers, and predictable growth. Beyond a mere endorsement of the company, this capital influx confirms the market’s conviction that “AI-native” architecture is the definitive standard for next-generation energy storage.Market confidence is supported by Sigenergy’s rapid scale-up. According to the prospectus, the company’s revenue grew from RMB 58.30 million in 2023 to RMB 9.00 billion in 2025, increased 154.4 times in two years. During this period, gross margins expanded from 31.3% to 50.1%, with an adjusted net margin reaching 35.9%. These figures validate the commercial viability of Sigenergy’s “AI-native” technology path.Differentiation Through “AI-Native” TechnologyUnlike traditional “hardware-first, AI-enabled” peers, the company established a more thorough “AI-native” path by integrating artificial intelligence across product design, manufacturing, and business models, the company has achieved a system that is inherently intelligent and capable of continuous evolution.Its flagship product, SigenStor, is a five-in-one system that combines an inverter, EV DC charging module, and battery pack into a modular, stackable unit which achieves a deep integration of power electronics, cloud and AI technologies, enhances product performance while delivering a more convenient user experience.The actual value of system’s “AI-native” capabilities is particularly effective in markets with dynamic electricity pricing. Facing fluctuations on an hourly or even minute-by-minute basis, traditional “charge at low, use at high” strategies based on fixed rules are no longer sufficient. By analyzing real-time prices, weather forecasts, and consumer habits, the system optimizes energy scheduling. In the Swedish market, SigenStor helped users reduce electricity costs by an average of 70.3%, showing the effective translation from AI technology into tangible financial benefits.Sigenergy continuously strengthens its competitive edge through a “Data-Intelligence” closed-loop. As global install base grows, the system leverages real-world operational data to undergo autonomous learning and optimization. This evolution directly translates into superior economic returns for users, which in turn fosters brand loyalty and higher retention. This data-driven cycle creates a powerful network effect, establishing a formidable, long-term barrier to entry in the Energy AI sector.Since its launch, SigenStor has established a strong global presence through its unique value proposition. According to Frost & Sullivan, Sigenergy has become the world No.1 provider of stackable distributed PV and storage all-in-one solutions in 2024, securing a 28.6% market share. Further data from SunWiz confirms that in 2025, the company ranked first in the under-1000kWh segment across Australia, Ireland, and South Africa, while maintaining a top-tier position in the UK, Sweden, and the Netherlands. This deep penetration into high-value markets has delivered significant commercial returns and reinforced Sigenergy’s brand equity. As the company expands into the Asia-Pacific and Latin American regions, its growth trajectory remains robust.To support the trajectory, the company has built a robust manufacturing footprint with production bases in Lingang and Jinqiao, Shanghai, as well as Nantong, Jiangsu. By the end of 2025, the company achieved an annual design capacity of nearly 360,000 inverters and over 5.6 GWh of energy storage batteries. This infrastructure provides a stable foundation for the company’s ongoing global expansion.The successful HKEX listing marks a significant milestone in Sigenergy’s commitment to innovation and recognizes its substantial growth potential. Entering this new chapter, and with the support of premier institutional investors, Sigenergy will focus on optimizing resource integration and accelerating its global ‘AI + Energy Storage’ strategy. By solidifying its technological leadership and market presence, the company aims to build a sustainable foundation for long-term value creation.For inquiries, please contact:EVER BLOOM (HK) COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANTS GROUP LIMITEDMs. Claire ZhangTel: (852)3468 8171Email: project_alps.list@everbloom.com.cn Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Token出海:中国AI生产力出口的历史跃迁! 迅策科技,给出中国答案

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 2026-04-16 / 10:29 UTC+8 当全球AI产业从“训练时代”进入“推理时代”,Token不再是藏在代码深处的技术术语,而是进化为可计量、可定价、可跨境交易的“数字通货”——AI时代的“新石油”。 谁掌握Token的定价权与流通权,谁就握住了AI世界的核心资源。 上市仅100天,市值突破1000亿港元——被市场称为“Token第一股”的迅策(03317.HK)用势如破竹的市场表现,向市场传递:这不是简单股价的上涨,而是一次资本市场底层逻辑的切换,是中国AI力量在全球坐标系中完成的一次深刻定义。 而这,只是开始。 在这场由Token主导的全球AI版图重构中,迅策没有选择拼大模型,也没有选择堆算力。它选择了一个更底层的角色——“AI世界的数字燃料供应商”。如今,它正率先启动Token出海业务,成为中国AI数据服务走向全球的领航者。 日前,迅策宣布与国家级深圳数据交易所签署战略合作协议。此次合作标志着迅策在数据要素市场跨境与出海迈出重要一步。它意味着:中国不仅有Token,更有Token的标准、流通的规则、合规出海的通道——这是Token出海从“野蛮生长”迈向“制度化出口”的关键转折。数据跨境的最大风险,从来不是技术问题,而是合规问题。 深数所作为国家级数据交易基础设施,提供的正是这张不可复制的“数据护照”,让迅策的Token出海有据可循、有路可走。 一、Token出海:“AI生产力出口”全面演进全球Token需求井喷。“Token出海”从一个概念,迅速演变为全球AI产业炙手可热的赛道。 数据不会说谎。全球最大模型聚合平台OpenRouter显示,前十模型总Token消耗中,中国模型占比已高达61%。更令人震撼的是:该平台47.17%的用户来自美国,而中国开发者仅占6.01%——这意味着,海外用户正在用真金白银,为中国大模型投票。 国家数据局最新数据显示,截至2026年3月,中国日均Token调用量已突破140万亿。这是什么概念?相当于每天生成约2000亿篇千字文章——全中国14亿人,人均每天“消费”上百篇AI生成的千字内容。而这其中,海量Token消耗来自企业级API调用、智能体运行和模型间交互。摩根大通预测,中国AI推理Token消耗将从2025年的约10千万亿,飙升至2030年的3900千万亿,五年再涨370倍。 Token出海之所以迅速“出圈”,是因为它点燃了人们对“换道超车”的集体想象。 过去,我们出口衬衫、家电、手机、新能源汽车——都是实体产品,对应的是价值链偏下的通用型输出,赚的是“制造利差”。如今,Token出海,让中国实现了从“实物出口”到“AI生产力出口”的历史性跃迁。 这场跃迁,可以用三个历史坐标来定位:第一阶段,中国出口衬衫、球鞋,价值链偏下,以量换汇,对应“通用Token”——计算成本低、可替代性强,拼的是规模与效率;第二阶段,中国出口高端装备、新能源汽车,价值链攀升,以质换溢价,对应“行业专用Token”——嵌入垂直场景,具备领域壁垒;第三阶段,正在发生——中国出口AI生产力本身,以Token为计量单位,向全球输出推理能力与智能服务,进入价值链顶端。Token背后,凝聚的是电力、算力、算法与专用数据的多维积累,共同凝练出具备高附加值的“智算能力包”。中国基建,将再次驱动全球经济增长——只是这一次,原动力单元不再是钢筋水泥,而是Token。电力不离境,算力不出口,但AI生产力跨越国界,以数字形态完成了过去实体商品才能实现的“价值流通”。这是一次无法被关税壁垒阻断、无需集装箱运输的新型出口。 所谓Token出海,本质是中国AI以Token为核心计价与流通单位,向全球输出推理算力与智能服务的新型数字贸易模式。它不是简单的App出海或海外聊天工具,而是底层算力能力的直接输出——将国内推理能力打包成Token,通过跨境API向全球收费,赚取AI世界的"跨境电费"。其核心特征在于: 计算本地化:海外请求→国内算力→结果回传 价值跨境化:电力留在国内,收益流向全球 计费标准化:价格仅为海外模型的1/5-1/20,但Token价值遥遥领先 合规安全化:数字服务与出口 更深远的意义在于:Token的出现,首次解决了数据资产化的难题。数据经标准化转化为Token后,变得可计量、可收费,完成了从“资源”到“资产”的历史性跃迁。而中国,正以一骑绝尘之势,在这场跃迁中定义新的全球规则。 二、中国Token出海的“护城河”:深不见底中国Token的优势,目前只体现在三个维度: 第一,算法效率。 MoE架构、量化技术等创新,让单位算力的Token产出远高于同行;第二,开源策略。 DeepSeek、Qwen等开源版本吸引了全球开发者,形成了不可逆转的生态飞轮;第三,极致定价。国产模型API价格仅为海外同类产品的1/5-1/20——MiniMax M2.5输入价格0.3美元/百万Token,而Anthropic的Claude Opus 4.6高达5美元,是中国模型的16.7倍。 更关键的是,Token正在经历一场“价值分层”。同样一个Token,用来闲聊,百万个值0.01美元;用来写代码,值200美元;用来做法律文档审阅,值1000美元——价值差了十万倍。不到5%的Token消耗,创造了超过80%的可测量价值。Token的价值不取决于它的生产成本,而取决于它被用来做什么。 中国Token出海的真正护城河,不仅仅是成本与效率的碾压,是以数据精炼能力,将通用Token转化为高价值“数字资产”的能力。这不仅是卖得更便宜,更是卖得更值、定义得更高——从“世界工厂”到“世界Token工厂”。 三、合规先行:迅策手握数据跨境“通行证”2026年3月30日,全球首个推动数据发展与治理的国际组织——世界数据组织(WDO)在北京正式成立,已吸纳全球40余个国家、200余家核心会员,覆盖工业、金融、医疗等14个重点行业。在数据跨境流通规则尚待统一的当下,WDO的成立为中国数据企业出海提供了至关重要的多边协调平台。 从政策导向来看,中国数据跨境流动的核心逻辑已从过去的防守型,全面转向价值创造型——更加注重开放、合作、发展与共赢。迅策作为中国AI实时数据基础设施领域的代表企业,有望借助这一国际机制,加速其Token化数据服务在全球市场的落地。 此次牵手深数所,正是迅策探索Token出海的关键落子。根据协议,双方将围绕三大方向展开深度合作。第一,联合拓宽数据要素和人工智能创新业务,推动企业数智化转型;第二,共建数据资产化与数据资产入表服务体系,推动数据资产化与合规化业务发展;第三,打造具身智能数据规范体系,推动具身智能数据产业发展。 深圳数据交易所定位为建设全国性数据交易平台,探索适应数据大规模跨域流通的可行路径、加快构建数据要素跨域、跨境流通的全国性数据交易平台,正是深数所写入章程的核心目标之一。 此次合作,将帮助迅策深化数据合规化与跨境数据合规的探索,加速数据资产化业务落地;有效推动企业级AI应用,拓宽多元化行业渗透;抢占具身智能数据规范先发优势,构筑长期高竞争壁垒。 四、迅策稳步开拓海外业务,中国定义AI未来迅策扮演着最底层的“数据Token供应商”角色。公司凭借多年沉淀的金融、电信等高质量数据,为每一次Token调用加装了“增效器”。 迅策的商业模式正从传统的订阅制、交易制向Token付费模式全面升级。其核心公式清晰而暴力:收入 = Token价格 × 调用次数 × 应用模块数。 这意味着,企业收入不再取决于传统的“客户数量”,而取决于使用频率、使用深度与AI渗透率——这是一个与AI使用强度直接绑定的指数型收入模型,与传统SaaS、软件订阅、乃至互联网流量模型,不在一个维度。 资本市场不是在看“现在的迅策”,而是在定价一个以Token为核心收入结构的未来。2025年,迅策实现营业收入12.85亿元,同比增长103.28%,下半年经调整净利润达5013万元,首次实现半年度正向盈利。其中,Token收费模式占比已达5%,预期2026年将快速提升至20%-30%。 Token模式一旦跑通,将同时具备三重特征:收入随调用量指数增长、数据深度绑定、边际成本极低。 三者叠加,形成典型的高毛利+高复用+高扩张能力组合。资本市场对此类模型的定价,从来不会保守。千亿港元市值,只是迅策价值重估的第一个锚点。真正的定价坐标,从来不该以港元衡量——它指向千亿美金。 在海外布局方面,迅策正稳步开拓海外业务,构建全球化布局雏形,2026年海外收入占比有望突破10%。目前公司业务已从资产管理行业延伸至电信、电力、能源、城市运营、高端制造、医疗、卫星、机器人及消费等多元化领域。 结语:中国,正在Token上定义未来当中国日均Token调用量突破140万亿,当世界数据组织在北京落地,当AI推理成为新一轮全球竞争的制高点——一个时代的底层规则,正在被中国力量悄然重写。 每一代通用技术都会催生新的制度需求:铁路时代是反垄断法,电力时代是公用事业监管,互联网时代是数据隐私。Token经济也不例外。它带来了能耗治理、跨境流动、统计盲区等新挑战,但制度建设的窗口从来都在技术爆发的早期。 Token经济的演进速度远快于移动互联网,而中国,正在第一时间给出答案。 迅策科技,这家“Token第一股”将进阶成为“Token出海第一股”,正以数据基础设施提供商的独特身位,参与重构全球AI服务的底层规则,探索Token出海路径,让中国AI技术与产业优势惠及。 2026-04-16 此财经新闻稿由EQS via SeaPRwire.com转载。本公告内容由发行人全权负责。原文链接: http://www.todayir.com/sc/index.php

OBI-221(cMET × HER3)。为拓展 HYPrOBI® 连接子技术的应用范围,OBI 进一步开发了 ThiOBI® 技术,以实现不可逆的基于半胱氨酸的偶联。除 ADC 项目外,OBI 的资产还包括 OBI-3424,这是一种同类首创的小分子前药,靶向 AKR1C3,可在醛酮还原酶 1C3 高表达的肿瘤中选择性释放强效 DNA 烷化剂。更多信息请访问 www.obipharma.com 。关于 OBI-902 和 OBI-992OBI-902 是一种靶向 TROP2 的抗体药物偶联物(ADC),携带强效拓扑异构酶 I 抑制剂载荷,以药物-抗体比值(DAR)为 4 杀伤肿瘤细胞。TROP2 在多种实体瘤中高度表达,如乳腺癌、肺癌、胆道癌、胆管癌(胆管细胞癌)、卵巢癌、胃癌等多种癌症类型,因此成为理想的癌症治疗靶点。OBI-902 是一种新型位点特异性糖链偶联 ADC,采用 OBI 专有的 GlycOBI® 平台,具有更高的稳定性和更强的亲水性。在多种肿瘤模型中(包括非小细胞肺癌、三阴性乳腺癌和胃癌),OBI-902 展现出显著的抗肿瘤疗效、改进的药代动力学特征以及良好的安全性。其 IND 已于 2025 年 4 月 30 日获得美国食品药品监督管理局(US FDA)批准,并分别于 2025 年 11 月 16 日和 12 月 5 日获得胆管癌及胃癌(包括胃食管结合部癌)的孤儿药资格认定。I/II 期临床试验(NCT07124117)正在进行中,I 期 a 部分预计于 2027 年上半年完成。OBI-992 是另一种靶向 TROP2 的抗体药物偶联物(ADC),通过基于半胱氨酸偶联的亲水性可酶切连接子,以药物-抗体比值(DAR)为 4 携带强效拓扑异构酶 I 抑制剂载荷。OBI-992 在体循环中保持稳定,并将该细胞毒性载荷递送至表达 TROP2 的肿瘤细胞,从而在避免脱靶毒性的同时实现肿瘤细胞杀伤。OBI-992 的 IND 申请已于 2024 年 1 月获得美国 FDA 批准,并于 2024 年 8 月获得用于治疗胃癌(包括 GEJC)的孤儿药资格认定。I/II 期研究(NCT06480240)已达到拟定的 II 期推荐剂量(pRP2D),I 期预计于 2027 年上半年完成。自 2021 年 12 月起,OBI 已获得 Biosion, Inc.(www.biosion.com)授予的 TROP2 靶向抗体氨基酸序列在除中国大陆、香港和澳门以外所有地区的独家许可。Biosion 在中国大陆、香港和澳门拥有该抗体序列的独家权利。OBI 在除中国大陆、香港和澳门以外的所有地区拥有 OBI-992 和 OBI-902 的商业权利,而 Biosion 在中国大陆、香港和澳门拥有相应的商业权利。关于 OBI-904OBI-904 是一种抗体药物偶联物(ADC),由特异性靶向 Nectin-4(Nectin 细胞黏附分子 4)的单克隆抗体构成,通过 OBI 专有的 GlycOBI® ADC 赋能技术,并在双功能酶 EndoSymeOBI® 和新型连接子 HYPrOBI® 的支持下,以药物-抗体比值(DAR)为 8 偶联强效拓扑异构酶 I 抑制剂载荷。该药物有望成为同类首创及同类最佳的基于糖链的 ADC,旨在靶向多种表达 Nectin-4 的癌症类型。在多种动物疾病模型中(包括头颈鳞癌、结直肠癌、三阴性乳腺癌、宫颈癌及肉瘤),其已显示出抗肿瘤活性;在猴重复给药毒性研究中,OBI-904 展现出良好的安全性,目前处于 IND 申请前开发阶段。关于 OBI-201OBI-201 是一种 TROP2 × HER2 双特异性 ADC,基于 OBI 的 GlycOBI® ADC 赋能技术构建,并偶联拓扑异构酶 I 抑制剂。值得注意的是,OBI 首次证明 HER2 与 TROP2 可在细胞表面相互作用并形成蛋白复合物——这一突破性发现得益于与专业 AI 药物研发合作伙伴的协作。与单特异性 TROP2 或 HER2 ADC 相比,OBI-201 具有多项优势。通过同时靶向两种抗原,它可扩大肿瘤覆盖范围,尤其适用于靶点表达异质性或表达水平较低的癌症。双靶向可增强肿瘤选择性、结合亲和力及内吞作用,从而提高载荷向癌细胞的递送效率,同时有望降低对正常细胞的毒性。OBI-201 还可能克服部分单特异性 ADC 治疗后因靶点下调所产生的耐药性。动物研究表明,在 HER2 表达极低的耐药性乳腺癌模型中,OBI-201 相较于单靶点 ADC 展现出显著更优的抗肿瘤活性。OBI-201 能够持续抑制肿瘤生长,显示出其克服多种耐药机制的潜力。OBI-201 是一种新一代双特异性 ADC,有望突破单靶点 ADC 的局限,为患者提供更全面且持久的治疗选择。关于 OBI-221OBI-221 是一种双特异性双载荷 ADC(BsDpADC),基于 OBI 的 GlycOBI DUO® 技术构建,靶向 cMET 和 HER3,并偶联 MMAE 与拓扑异构酶 I 抑制剂双载荷。在临床实践中,靶向 EGFR 的疗法已成为治疗非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)和结直肠癌(CRC)的关键策略。然而,肿瘤常通过上调 cMET 和 HER3 快速产生耐药性,从而维持肿瘤生长。此外,在胃癌、头颈癌及多种其他实体瘤中也观察到 cMET 和 HER3 的高表达,进一步凸显了未被满足的医疗需求。为应对这一挑战,OBI Pharma 利用其专有的 GlycOBI DUO® 平台和 HYPrOBI® 连接子开发了新型双特异性双载荷抗体药物偶联物(BsDpADC)——OBI-221。该治疗药物可同时靶向 cMET 和 HER3,并递送具有协同作用的细胞毒性载荷,从而有效对抗肿瘤耐药性和异质性。这一突破性设计不仅满足未被满足的医疗需求,也代表了下一代 ADC 开发的前瞻性策略。OBI-221 在克服现有 EGFR 靶向疗法耐药性方面具有重要潜力,有望为患者提供更具针对性的治疗选择,并带来显著的临床价值。关于 GlycOBI®OBI 开发了一种独特的基于糖链的位点特异性 ADC 技术(GlycOBI®),采用即插即用(Plug and Play)设计,可兼容任意抗体、连接子和载荷,并支持多种药物-抗体比值(DAR)(最高可达 16)。该技术由 OBI 专有的双功能酶技术 EndoSymeOBI® 和亲水性连接子技术 HYPrOBI® 驱动,作为 OBI Obrion™ ADC 技术体系的核心组成部分,能够在 GMP 条件下通过高效、可规模化、流程简化的两步一锅法偶联工艺生成位点特异性且高度均一的 ADC。在偶联过程中,GlycOBI® 避免破坏抗体结构,并确保生成的 ADC 保持与天然抗体相当的生物物理特性。此外,OBI 的连接子技术提高了载荷偶联效率,并降低了聚集或降解的倾向,从而进一步支持稳定且可控的 ADC 生产过程。GlycOBI® 克服了传统 ADC 方法常见的局限,并在多项体内研究中展现出更优的抗肿瘤活性和稳定性。值得注意的是,该平台支持偶联细胞毒性小分子抑制剂以及高度疏水性的降解剂,从而拓展至包括 DAC 在内的下一代治疗模式。关于 GlycOBI DUO®GlycOBI DUO® 是一种基于 GlycOBI® 位点特异性偶联平台及其专有酶促偶联策略构建的下一代双载荷抗体药物偶联物(ADC)技术。该技术可在单一抗体上以可调比例精确、可编程地连接两种不同载荷,并支持高 DAR 比值(最高可达 DAR24)。通过结合互补的作用机制,GlycOBI DUO® 旨在增强抗肿瘤疗效、应对肿瘤异质性并提升整体治疗指数,同时具备克服传统 ADC 相关耐药机制的潜力,代表了下一代 ADC 开发的重要进展。关于 ThiOBI®OBI 开发了一种新型不可逆半胱氨酸偶联 ADC 平台(ThiOBI®),具有更高的稳定性,可适用于任意抗体、连接子和载荷。OBI 专有的 ThiOBI® 平台结合连接子技术(HYPrOBI®),可生成多种生物分子形式的 ADC,包括抗体片段、纳米抗体、肽类和蛋白质。此外,OBI 的 HYPrOBI® 连接子技术提高了载荷的偶联效率,降低了聚集倾向,并延长了 ADC 产品的半衰期。ThiOBI 克服了传统半胱氨酸 ADC 的局限,并在多项体内研究中实现了更优的抗肿瘤活性和稳定性。GlycOBI®、EndoSymeOBI®、ThiOBI®、HYPrOBI® 和 GlycOBI DUO® 为 OBI 的注册商标。Obrion™ 为正在申请注册的商标。前瞻性声明本新闻稿中非历史事实的陈述属于《1995

GMG Doubles Energy Density of 6 Minute Charging Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery ACN Newswire

GMG Doubles Energy Density of 6 Minute Charging Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery

BRISBANE, AUS, Apr 15, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the latest progress update on the Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery technology ("G+A CELLS") being developed by GMG and the University of Queensland ("UQ") under a Joint Development Agreement with Rio Tinto, one of the world's largest metals and mining groups, and with the support of the Battery Innovation Center of Indiana ("BIC") in the United States of America.The GMG G+A CELLS have now demonstrated superior performance characteristics when compared to a representative market leading ultra-fast charging batteries, the Lithium Titanate Oxide ("LTO") batteries, which can be sold at a premium price of up to US$1200/kWh.1Figure 1 shows the current energy density of G+A CELLS, based on BIC testing, and shows the doubling in performance (26 to 49 Wh/kg) since the previous announcement in December 20252 and in comparison, to a representative market leading fast charging high power LTO batteries.Figure 1: Increase in Energy Density for G+A CELLS since December '25 UpdateTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_figure1.jpgFigure 2 shows the charge and discharge curves for the G+A CELLS when charged in 6 minutes (10C) and 60 minutes (1C). The energy density of the cells for the G+A CELLS when charged in 60 minutes (1C) is now 101 Wh/kg when charging to 100% State of Charge (SOC) which is an increase from 58 Wh/kg from the previous update. This shows the G+A CELLS have a nominal voltage of approximately 3.2 Volts (an increase from 3.0 Volts in the previous update). The G+A CELLS maintained performance over hundreds of cycles at 6-minute fast charging rate (10C).Figure 2: Battery performance curves of G+A CELLS at 60 min and 6min charge (1C & 10C)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_9a72ca9bb4963a29_001full.jpgBob Galyen, GMG Non-Executive Director and former CTO of CATL - the largest battery manufacturer in the world, commented: "With the possibility of charging from empty to full in around six minutes, this chemistry fundamentally changes how designers can think about electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and stationary storage. Instead of planning around long charge stops with large packs, engineers can optimise for rapid energy turnaround, with higher power, and safer, with GMG's battery made from abundant raw materials. Lithium-ion will remain a key part of the energy landscape for years to come, but its limitations in fast charging, temperature tolerance, and critical-mineral supply are increasingly evident. By leveraging aluminium and graphene, the GMG team is demonstrating a pathway to reduce reliance on traditional lithium-based systems and or combinatorial systems with multiple battery technologies while delivering step-change improvements in charge time and power density. This is not an incremental tweak to existing cells - it is a new platform that can open markets and use cases that were previously uneconomic or impractical. The companies that adapt quickest to this shift will lead the next wave of electrification, and GMG intends to be at the centre of that transition with graphene aluminium-ion technology."Standard commercial Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt ("LNMC") and Lithium Iron Phosphate ("LFP") battery cells for electric vehicles and stationary storage are NOT designed for continuous 6-minute charging (10C); typical recommended charge rates are ≤1 hour (1C), often 2 hours (0.5C), with only limited fast charge operation. Only specialized high-power cell designs like LTO battery cells can tolerate charge rates of 6 minutes (10C).3GMG has now developed a completely new hybrid electrolyte that is chloride free and non-corrosive, unlike common aluminium battery electrolytes, along with a complex cathode and anode technology that enables very stable fast charging over hundreds of cycles. The substrate for both the cathode and anode in the G+A CELLS is aluminium foil - which provides significant cost and weight savings compared with copper, the substrate material used in most lithium and sodium-ion batteries. GMG's technology does not include the use of lithium or copper. The Company has submitted an additional patent application covering these new developments.GMG believes that it has significantly met the key target specification requirements for use in heavy mobile equipment, as shown in Figure 3, its main targeted use case, including:- Charging in under 6 minutes;- Energy density > 100 Wh/kg after 1 hour of charging; and- Safe (no Lithium).The next battery development steps include the following activities:- Test and show cycle life up to 10,000 cycles- Test and show ambient temperature impacts- Test and show standard safety testing- Test and show no thermal battery management system needed Figure 3: G+A CELLS Battery Use Case - heavy mobile equipmentTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_figure3.jpgCraig Nicol, GMG Managing Director and CEO, commented: "This is a significant step up from where we were at with battery performance in December 2025 and we see the required performance for our targeted use case being largely met - which means we can start to put together the next stages of the battery maturation program - including partnerships and manufacturing plans."GMG management believes that the G+A CELLS can eventually achieve over 160 Wh/kg when charged in 1 hour, and over 80 Wh/kg when charged in 6 minutes with further development of the cathode, anode, electrolyte and component weights.Figure 4 shows the latest G+A CELLS in pouch format:Figure 4: Current Multi-Layer G+A CELLTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_figure4.jpgBattery Technology Readiness LevelThe battery technology readiness level ("BTRL") of the G+A CELLS remains at Level 4, whilst significantly progressed through this level as shown in Figure 5. GMG is currently in the process of completing the optimization of the electrochemical behaviour for the pouch cells via ongoing laboratory experimentation. Through collaboration with BIC, it is anticipated that the battery technology readiness will ultimately progress to BTRL 7 and 8 since the equipment and processes needed to produce the G+A CELLS are the same as those employed to make Lithium-Ion Batteries, though no definitive timeline for achievement can be provided at this time.Figure 5: Battery Technology Readiness Level (BTRL)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_9a72ca9bb4963a29_004full.jpgThe Company is confident it can meet the overall timeline, as seen in Figure 6, of its battery cell roadmap that calls for testing of cells with customers in 2026 and small commercial production with support of various partners, including BIC, in 2027.Figure 6: Battery Cell RoadmapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_9a72ca9bb4963a29_005full.jpgNext Steps Toward Commercialisation & Market ApplicationsJack Perkowski, GMG Non-Executive Chairman and Director, commented: "I am extremely proud that GMG has progressed its battery to this stage - the Company is getting very close to final commercialisation steps. We look forward to providing further updates as GMG progresses the development of its battery technology."The Company continues to see a broad range of potential applications for a completed G+A CELLS - utilising its ultra-high power-density and economic energy density characteristics. Along with Rio Tinto, a range of global companies have confidentially expressed their interest in working with GMG in the following vertical sectors:Figure 7: Market ApplicationsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_9a72ca9bb4963a29_006full.jpgCurrently, GMG believes it will use a plastic battery pack design, similar to Figure 8, to hold the battery pouch cells - reducing the weight, cost and complexity relative to using a metal case. Using a plastic battery pack is possible for two main reasons - GMG believes that its battery will not require a thermal management system or the fireproofing precautions provided by the metal case in a lithium-ion battery. Using plastic will increase the comparative energy density of G+A CELL packs when compared to lithium-ion batteries.Figure 8: Expected Battery Pack for GMG's G+A CELLS Pouch FormatTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_9a72ca9bb4963a29_007full.jpgComparison and Market Review: LTO Batteries As shown in Figure 9 below, the performance of GMG's G+A CELL technology is already very similar to representative LTO batteries.Figure 9: Comparison of GMG's G+A CELLS to Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) BatteryTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_figure9.jpg LTO batteries are sold at a premium to LFP and LNMC batteries, which are the main chemistries used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems, and are also widely used in other electronic applications due to their high performance and long cycle life. The material and manufacturing costs for G+A CELLS are expected to be similar to, or less than, the cost to manufacture standard lithium-ion batteries, but substantially lower than the costs to produce LTO batteries.LTO batteries have energy density ranging from 50 - 80 Wh/kg.6 The LTO product is sold globally for use in many applications — with a total of US$5.67 billion sales per annum in 2025. Sales of LTO batteries are expected to grow at 16.9% per annum to an estimated US$ 12.5 billion by 2030. The major manufacturers of LTO batteries include Toshiba, Gree, Microvast and CATL.Further details on applications for the LTO battery from Mordor Intelligence7 are described below. In many of the use cases for LTO batteries, GMG believes that its G+A CELLS can be substituted at a substantially lower cost.Commercial Vehicles: Automotive, primarily buses, refuse trucks, and drayage tractors rather than passenger cars, is the largest user of LTO batteries. Fleets realize five-year total-cost-of-ownership parity once fuel savings and lower maintenance offset higher upfront prices.Fast-charging Electric Buses and Trucks: Transit authorities need battery systems that accept repeated high-power "opportunity charges" during short layovers. LTO cells replenish 80% capacity in roughly five minutes, allowing operators to shrink fleet size without sacrificing route frequency. U.S. Low-No Emission Bus grants earmark more than US$1.5 billion per year, with bid specifications that explicitly reference rapid-charge capability. Parallel subsidy programs in China reimburse up to CNY 80,000 (US$ 11,396) per new-energy bus, accelerating volume deployment in provincial capitals.Hybrid and BEV: Regenerative braking and high-C-rate acceleration favour the use of LTO batteries. Use in fast-charge EV stations is growing rapidly as ride-hailing fleets adopt swap-ready models.Stationary Storage: Utility-scale batteries now cycle multiple times per day for frequency regulation, peak shaving, and voltage support. Energy-storage-system integrators adopt LTO batteries for grid-frequency response where state-of-charge swings are shallow but frequent.Industrial Robotics: LTO batteries are used in continuous-duty forklifts that require partial charges during operator breaks.Aerospace and Defense: Unmanned aerial vehicles, missile auxiliaries, and soldier-worn power banks operating from -40 °C to +60 °C ambient.5-minute Battery-Swap Stations: Battery-as-a-service platforms require ultra-fast turnaround and high cycle life. CATL confirmed plans to install 1,000 swap stations in 2025 and 30,000-40,000 by 2030, each requiring packs that tolerate thousands of rapid exchanges without degradation.Sub-10 kWh Packs: Cordless construction tools, autonomous ground vehicles, and medical carts select LTO batteries to bypass daily pack swaps.12V starter replacement to Lead acid: GMG's G+A CELLS battery technology would be a viable 12 V starter-battery replacement for lead-acid, offering lower weight, longer cycle life, good low-temperature performance and improved cold-cranking capability, together with excellent tolerance to storage at 0% state of charge. In suitable system designs, the chemistry's stable voltage behaviour can also reduce balancing requirements and simplify battery management, helping to lower overall system cost.Lifecycle Procurement Preference: Many government procurement frameworks now weigh lifecycle reliability higher than purchase price. For example, New Mexico awarded a US$ 400 million bus electrification contract that included stringent thermal-runaway resistance metrics. Europe's Clean Industrial Deal allocates capital for storage technologies that stabilize renewables, aligning well with LTO batteries' fast-response profile.Cylindrical Cells: accounted for 37.7% of LTO battery sales in 2024 as entrenched production lines and robust steel casings satisfied heavy-duty demand. Pouch designs address aerospace weight requirements and constrained dashboards in autonomous robots.Summary of Important Milestones for GMG's G+A CELLS Development: MonthImportant Milestones in the

Together with its subsidiary OBI Pharma USA, Inc., the company is dedicated to developing innovative cancer therapeutics to provide new treatment options for patients with urgent medical needs.OBI's research efforts center on novel antibody-drug conjugates (ADC). Through its patented next-generation conjugation technology platform, Obrion™, OBI has established diverse ADC design modalities. The platform integrates proprietary conjugation and linker technologies, including GlycOBI®, GlycOBI DUO®, EndoSymeOBI®, HYPrOBI®, and the novel irreversible cysteine-conjugation technology ThiOBI® , to advance next-generation ADC solutions. OBI has developed a next-generation suite of ADC programs. These include monospecific ADCs such as OBI-902 (TROP2), which is under Ph1 clinical evaluation, and OBI-904 (Nectin-4); a bispecific single-payload ADC, OBI-201 (HER2 x TROP2); and a bispecific dual-payload ADC, OBI-221 (cMET x HER3). To broaden the applicability of the HYPrOBI® linker technology, OBI has further developed the ThiOBI® technology to enable irreversible cysteine-based conjugation. In addition to its ADC programs, OBI's assets include OBI-3424, a first-in-class AKR1C3-targeted small-molecule prodrug that selectively releases a potent DNA-alkylating agent in the presence of the aldo-keto reductase 1C3 enzyme, which is highly expressed in certain tumors. Additional information can be found at www.obipharma.com.About OBI-902 and OBI-992OBI-902 is a TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that carries a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload to kill tumor cells with a drug-antibody ratio (DAR) of 4. TROP2 is highly expressed in a variety of solid tumors such as breast, lung, biliary, bile duct (cholangiocarcinoma), ovarian, gastric, and many other cancer types, rendering it an ideal target for cancer therapy.OBI-902 is a novel site-specific glycan-conjugated ADC using OBI's proprietary GlycOBI® platform, which provides improved stability and enhanced hydrophilicity. OBI-902 demonstrated remarkable antitumor efficacy across multiple tumors, including NSCLC, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and gastric cancer, improved pharmacokinetic characteristics, and a favorable safety profile in various animal models. The IND of OBI-902 was cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) on April 30, 2025, received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) from the US FDA for cholangiocarcinoma on Nov. 16, 2025, and gastric cancer (GC), including gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJC) on December 5, 2025.The Phase 1/2 Study (NCT07124117) is ongoing, with completion of the Phase 1a portion targeted for 1H 2027.OBI-992 is a TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that carries a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload with drug-to-antibody ratio of 4 (DAR 4) via a cysteine conjugated, hydrophilic and enzyme-cleavable linker. OBI-992 remains stable in circulation and delivers this cytotoxic payload to TROP2-expressing tumor cells, leading to tumor cell death while avoiding off-target toxicities.The US FDA cleared the IND application for OBI-992 in Jan 2024 and subsequently granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of gastric cancer, including GEJC in Aug 2024. The Phase 1/2 Study (NCT06480240) has reached the putative Recommended Phase 2 Dose (pRP2D) and Phase I completion is targeted for 1H 2027.Since December 2021, OBI has been granted by Biosion, Inc. (www.biosion.com) an exclusive license to a TROP2 targeting antibody amino acid sequence in all jurisdictions except Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. Biosion holds exclusive rights to that antibody sequence in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. OBI holds commercial rights to OBI-992 and OBI-902 in all jurisdictions except Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, while Biosion holds commercial rights to OBI-992 and OBI-902 in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau.About OBI-904OBI-904 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprised of a monoclonal antibody specifically targeting Nectin-4 (Nectin cell adhesion molecule 4), linked to a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload with Drug-to-Antibody Ratio of 8 (DAR8) through OBI's proprietary GlycOBI® ADC enabling technologies, powered by a dual-function enzyme, EndoSymeOBI®, and a novel linker, HYPrOBI®. It is a potentially first-in-class and best-in-class glycan-based ADC designed to target multiple cancer types that express Nectin-4. Antitumor activity has been shown across several animal disease models, including HNSCC, CRC, TNBC, cervical and sarcoma cancers; OBI-904 has demonstrated a favorable safety profile in a repeat dose toxicity study in monkeys, and is now in the pre-IND stage of development.About OBI-201OBI-201 is a TROP2 x HER2 bispecific ADC generated by OBI GlycOBI® ADC enabling technologies conjugated with a topoisomerase I inhibitor. Notably, OBI is the first to demonstrate that HER2 and TROP2 can interact and form a protein complex on the cell surface-a groundbreaking discovery facilitated through collaboration with a specialized AI drug discovery partner. OBI-201 offers several advantages over mono-specific TROP2 or HER2 ADCs. By targeting both antigens, it broadens tumor coverage, especially in cancers with heterogeneous or low expression of either target. Dual targeting can enhance tumor selectivity, binding avidity, and internalization, improving payload delivery to cancer cells while potentially reducing toxicity to normal cells. OBI-201 may overcome resistance associated with downregulation of targets after treatment by certain monospecific ADCs.Animal studies revealed that OBI-201 demonstrated significantly superior anti-tumor activity compared to single-target ADCs in drug-resistant breast cancer models with extremely low HER2 expression. OBI-201 was able to sustain tumor growth suppression, indicating its potential to overcome multiple drug-resistance mechanisms. OBI-201 is a next-generation bispecific ADC poised to break through the limitations of single-target ADCs, potentially offering patients a more comprehensive and durable treatment option.About OBI-221OBI-221 is a Bispecific-Dual Payload ADC (BsDpADC), generated by OBI GlycOBI DUO® technologies, targeting cMET and HER3, conjugated with dual payload of MMAE and topoisomerase I inhibitor.In clinical practice, EGFR-targeted therapies have become a key strategy for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. However, tumors often rapidly develop resistance by upregulating cMET and HER3 that, in turn, sustain tumor growth. Moreover, high expressions of cMET and HER3 have been observed in gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, and various other solid tumors, further underscoring the unmet medical needs.To address this challenge, OBI Pharma leverages its proprietary GlycOBI DUO® platform and HYPrOBI® linker to develop a novel bispecific dual-payload antibody-drug conjugate (BsDpADC)-OBI-221.

Fujitsu and Chugoku Electric Power T&D sign IP licensing agreement to accelerate renewable energy integration and advance power transmission maintenance

KAWASAKI, Japan, Apr 15, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited and Chugoku Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Co., Inc. today announced the signing of an intellectual property licensing agreement. This agreement, effective April 15, 2026, covers Chugoku Electric Power T&D's intellectual property, which includes its dynamic line rating technology [1] and intellectual property related to advanced power transmission facility maintenance. The partnership aims to support the expansion of renewable energy adoption and enhance power transmission facility maintenance operations through drone utilization.Under this agreement, Fujitsu will leverage Chugoku Electric Power T&D's intellectual property to launch an advanced power grid operation and maintenance support service for power transmission and distribution companies. This service will enable safe and maximum connection and utilization of renewable energy in the power grid.BackgroundAs the adoption of renewable energy continues to expand, power transmission and distribution companies are working to maximize the use of existing power transmission facilities while maintaining stable operation of the power system [2] . The capacity of transmission lines for safe power transmission varies with environmental conditions like temperature and wind speed. Traditionally, to protect transmission facilities, operations have been based on the transmission capacity under the worst-case conditions. However, dynamic line rating technology, which adjusts transmission capacity based on real-time environmental conditions, is now recognized as a key method for effectively utilizing transmission capacity while making the most of existing facilities.Furthermore, there are concerns that conventional human-dependent maintenance operations, such as inspection and patrolling of power transmission facilities, will face operational challenges in the future due to a shrinking workforce. To address these challenges, initiatives are progressing to utilize digital technologies and drones to efficiently and accurately assess the condition of transmission facilities.Fujitsu has developed technology to acquire and analyze vibration data across all spans of transmission lines using optical fiber sensing technology [3] with a single measuring device, as well as a technology platform for data management and AI analysis. To apply these technologies in a practical operational setting for power transmission and distribution companies, Fujitsu and Chugoku Electric Power T&D have conducted verification tests [4] since September 2021, focusing on expanding renewable energy adoption and enhancing power transmission facility maintenance operations.Service OverviewThe service integrates Chugoku Electric Power T&D's intellectual property, including its dynamic line rating technology and expertise in power transmission facility operation and maintenance, cultivated through verification tests and practical operations, with Fujitsu's optical fiber sensing, data analysis, and AI technologies. It acquires vibration data from optical fibers laid along transmission lines and uses environmental data, such as wind conditions around the transmission lines, derived from this vibration data, to calculate the available transmission capacity according to the real-time facility status. Furthermore, by training and inferring with AI using the acquired data, it becomes possible to predict future wind conditions around transmission lines and transmission capacity. These series of data acquisition, conversion, and prediction functions will be provided as the basic functions of this service.In addition, the data obtained from the basic functions can be utilized to support power transmission and distribution companies in addressing various operational challenges. It supports the operational design and system construction for dynamic line rating technology, thereby reducing renewable energy curtailment and promoting efficient power utilization. Furthermore, wind condition data around transmission lines can guide drone flight feasibility and optimal route selection. By assessing facility conditions from vibration data, the service also facilitates labor-saving and advanced maintenance operations, moving beyond traditional on-site and human-dependent methods.Fujitsu will offer this service to power transmission and distribution companies as part of its "AI Technologies and Solutions" offering under Uvance [5] , a business model focused on addressing societal challenges. Figure: Service Overview Future PlansFujitsu will continue to strengthen this service, including the application of generative AI, to achieve advanced maintenance operations from inspection to repair plan formulation, thereby contributing to the acceleration of digitalization in power infrastructure both domestically and internationally.

百望股份亮相世界互联网大会 布局商业信用基础设施全球化版图

香港, 2026年4月15日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 4月13-14日,2026年世界互联网大会亚太峰会在香港会议展览中心举办。百望股份首席战略官刘扬发表了题为《全球税务合规:从"财税数字化"到"中国企业商业信用基础设施"》的主题演讲,深度分享百望股份全球化战略布局与落地进程,全面展示了百望以AI Agent重构跨境税务合规体系、搭建中国企业商业信用基础设施的创新实践。 本次峰会以"数智赋能 创新发展——携手构建网络空间命运共同体"为主题,由世界互联网大会主办,香港特别行政区政府承办,香港特别行政区政府创新科技及工业局等协办。香港特别行政区行政长官李家超出席开幕式并致辞。来自全球50余个国家和地区的政府部门部长级官员、国际组织高级别代表、驻华使节、互联网领军企业代表,以及专家学者等约千名嘉宾参会。百望以商业信用模型架构为核心,筑造AI能力壁垒本次世界互联网大会的亮相,是百望股份上市以来完成AI战略转型后,首次在世界级行业论坛的重磅发声,也是企业全球化战略的一次全面公开发布。会上,百望股份宣告已完成全球化智能科技公司的全面能力准备,以商业信用模型为核心架构,正式开启全球化发展新篇章。百望股份是本次大会中唯一一家实现垂直大模型企业级应用落地、且拥有规模化真实商业案例的企业,充分印证了在AI企业级应用赛道的领先身位,全面彰显了百望股份核心战略的前瞻性与正确性,验证了以数据智能为核心、以AI Agent为抓手、以全球化布局为增长曲线的长期战略布局的精准判断。基于对AI Agent 时代企业级需求的深度理解,百望股份以动态商业信用模型为核心,完成了产品架构的全面升级,打造了"底层底座-能力中枢-智能执行"的完整闭环产品体系。百望股份之能成为中国企业商业信用基础设施的构建者,核心根基就藏在这一架构的底层设计逻辑之中。整个架构以算力平台为底层支撑,向上搭建了数据中台、AI中台、能力中台三位一体的技术中台体系。基于交易关系、商品关系、制度关系、金融关系、雇佣关系五大维度,百望股份形成了以百望企信码为底层底座,以百链、百信、百策为数据核心能力中枢,以百望百宝、百望百搭为智能执行应用的群体智能矩阵。区别于传统财税软件的功能叠加模式,百望股份打造的是可生长、可扩展的智能技术底座,这也是商业信用基础设施能够持续迭代、适配全球多元场景的核心前提。作为一家善用数据的科技公司,百望股份始终将真实交易数据作为AI时代的核心竞争力,过去十年累计处理发票超 260 亿张,沉淀了覆盖 9600万余个市场主体的海量高质量真实交易底账数据,成为企业AI 能力建设的核心燃料!百望Tax-Swift护航中企全球化征程,全面印证场景落地能力作为百望股份全球化战略的核心场景落地产品,Tax-Swift全球虚拟税务平台基于沉淀10年的监管科技与规则引擎能力,完成了全球化适配与升级,为中国企业的全球化征程搭建起全链路的合规屏障。具体而言,Tax-Swift以AI技术为核心驱动力,构建了覆盖全球税务合规全流程的闭环服务体系。平台依托全球引擎基座、发票引擎、税务规则引擎、国家适配器四层核心架构,可自动完成多语言转换、实时汇率校准、多格式报文转换、电子签名校验、智能算税算法、合规风险过滤、税收优惠适配等全流程操作,实现了企业ERP系统到全球各国税务系统的无缝直连,可深度适配全球主流税务监管体系。目前,平台已覆盖10余种主流语言、200余种票据格式标准、3万余条国际财税规则,已在多个中企出海场景落地见效。例如,某中国餐饮集团出海越南时,接入Tax-Swift平台后,顺利完成了越南当地门店的税务合规体系搭建,实现了规模化落地。今年初,百望再度升级推出Tax-Swift Bai-Claw(全球税务数字员工平台),可覆盖全球50余个国家和地区的财税合规需求,AI数字员工全面掌握权威财税政策、行业知识与专业技能,可根据企业需求定制化部署,成为中企出海随身随行的合规哨兵。百望股份CSO刘扬在演讲中表示:"政策、数据、AI与全球化正在形成新的共振。交易无国界,纳税有主权,全球数字贸易正在进入主权卡位与信用卡位的全新阶段。百望股份期望以本次峰会为契机,持续深化技术创新与产业实践,以数智能力筑牢中国企业出海的合规屏障,以商业信用基础设施赋能全球贸易的高质量发展,携手各界伙伴共同赋能国家一带一路战略,为构建网络空间命运共同体贡献力量。"随着AI技术的持续深化与全球化布局的稳步推进,百望股份正在以技术创新打破跨境贸易的合规壁垒,为中国企业出海铺就一条安全、高效的数字化通路,在全球数字贸易的新赛道上,书写中国科技企业的全新篇章。 Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.
