HONG KONG, Aug 5, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On August 4, the China Robotics Industry ETF (159551) rose by 2.44%, as investor enthusiasm for the sector continues to surge. Humanoid robotics is transitioning from a phase of “technical breakthroughs” to one of “scenario implementation,” marking the start of a new acceleration cycle. With a series of industry catalysts unfolding, the robotics segment in the Hong Kong market is entering a structural upswing.Among the emerging opportunities, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) stands out as a rare asset platform company with full-chain industrial deployment and real scenario execution capability.1. From Showroom to Deployment: Humanoid Robots Hit the Ground RunningAt the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) held in late July, over 150 humanoid robots were demonstrated performing real-time dynamic tasks across industrial, service, and medical settings — a first in China. Unlike previous static displays, this year’s event showcased robots in real application scenarios such as cleaning, concierge services, and logistics handling, demonstrating the rapid convergence of hardware, algorithms, and computing power.At the same time, major news continues to drive investor sentiment:Unitree Robotics has entered IPO counseling, and the World Robot Conference 2025 is set to launch with over 100 new product debuts.In this context, Shoucheng Holdings stands out as a rare Hong Kong-listed company with both industrial integration capabilities and operational execution power, filling a critical gap in the market.2. From Conference to Application: Shoucheng’s Robot Ecosystem Comes AliveWhile many firms are still stuck in the “capital narrative” stage, Shoucheng Holdings is entering a phase of real industrial depth, evolving from investor to industrial connector and platform enabler.At the upcoming World Robot Conference 2025, Shoucheng is organizing an official sub-forum titled “Robotics Investment and Innovation Forum”, bringing together top-tier founders and venture capitalists to discuss commercialization strategies for humanoid robotics in the so-called “mass production year.” The forum serves as a bridge linking capital, technology, and market demand.In parallel, at the World Humanoid Robot Games, Shoucheng’s subsidiary Beijing Robotics Leasing Co. has provided 78 robots from its portfolio companies — including Booster Robotics, Galaxea-AI, Noetix Robotics, and Galbot — to support training in core competition categories such as football, athletics, and scene-based tasks. Several invested companies are also participating directly, enabling a full cycle of product testing, feedback, and application validation.Shoucheng’s ability to integrate investment, leasing, agency services, and operations has led to the creation of a scalable and repeatable robotics application infrastructure, positioning it as one of the few platform companies in the Hong Kong market with true industrial depth.3. A Rare Valuation Opportunity in Hong Kong’s Robotics MarketWhile many companies in China’s robotics ecosystem are either unlisted or trading at high valuations, Shoucheng Holdings currently trades at just around HK$1.90 and has completed multiple rounds of share buybacks. This signals strong management confidence in the company’s long-term value.In a market that favors “high growth + application-driven” assets, Shoucheng — with its triple focus on robotics, REITs, and medical technology — is emerging as one of the most compelling industrial platforms for investors riding the next robotics wave.Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Boca Raton, Florida--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - August 4, 2025) - Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) ("Atlas Lithium" or "Company"), a leading lithium development company, is pleased to announce that SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS") has completed the Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") for the Company's 100%-owned Neves Lithium Project ("Project"), a technical report prepared under the U.S. guidelines of Item 1300 of Regulation S-K ("Regulation S-K 1300"). This hard-rock Project is well-suited to being a low-cost open-pit mining operation, as its spodumene deposits are located relatively close to the surface. Located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, the Project encompasses 4 of the 98 mineral rights for lithium owned by Atlas Lithium. As detailed in the DFS, the Neves Project is expected to deliver strong financial metrics with an internal rate of return ("IRR") of 145%, payback in 11 months from the start of operations, and an after-tax net present value ("NPV") of $539 million. Importantly, the DFS estimates the Neves Project to have operational production costs of only $489 per tonne of lithium concentrate, positioning Atlas Lithium among the world's lowest-cost producers. Complete details of these metrics can be found in the DFS, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Marc-Antoine Laporte from SGS serves as the Qualified Person for the DFS under Regulation S-K 1300. SGS is well-known as a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification services for mineral properties and projects.Industry-Leading Capital Efficiency and Low Operating CostsThe DFS supports that expected direct capital expenditures of $57.6 million will be needed for the implementation of the Project, by far the lowest such capital costs among other announced projects in Brazil. Notably, Atlas Lithium has already invested approximately $30 million in acquiring and transporting the Project's newly fabricated dense media separation ("DMS") plant to Brazil, as previously reported. The Company has secured two non-dilutive pre-payment agreements for its lithium concentrate totaling $40 million and has received additional funding interest from other parties, including 10-year debt financing options, any of which could support the Project's capital requirements.The Company believes that the DFS validates the Project's strong economics, positioning it among the most capital-efficient and lowest-cost hard-rock lithium developments globally. The Project will employ proven DMS technology, with comprehensive metallurgical testing demonstrating an expected robust lithium recovery rate of 61.7% to produce high-quality, low-impurity lithium concentrate. This relatively straightforward, low-risk DMS processing methodology minimizes technical complexity and operational risk while enabling a low environmental footprint.Atlas Lithium's mineral right to be mined, as detailed in the DFS, received its "Portaria de Lavra" (mining concession) status from Brazil's Ministry of Mines and Energy on May 27, 2025 — the highest level of titleship in Brazil and one that allows continuous mining operations. Multiple deposit areas within the Project remain open for resource expansion along strike and at depth and are thus expected to extend the life of mine. Additionally, numerous high-potential geological targets remain within the Project's mineral rights, providing compelling opportunities for future exploration.Located in the established Araçuaí Pegmatite District in the Vale do Jequitinhonha, often called Lithium Valley, the Project benefits from favorable infrastructure, including proximity to transportation networks, water resources, and skilled labor. The Project qualifies for tax incentives from the Superintendency for the Development of the Northeast (SUDENE), as promulgated by Brazil's Ministry of Integration and Regional Development, reducing the corporate tax rate from 34% to 15.25% and further enhancing profitability."The DFS indicates potentially outstanding returns for our initial vision of developing a focused, near-term, profitable lithium production asset with minimal capital requirements," said Marc Fogassa, Chairman and CEO of Atlas Lithium. "The combination of our low capital intensity and rapid payback period is expected to create exceptional value for our shareholders while positioning Atlas Lithium to benefit from future organic expansion opportunities at Neves and other high-potential lithium areas that we own. Importantly, we are creating many quality employment opportunities in the Vale do Jequitinhonha region, representing a significant societal contribution of our Project."Experienced Leadership Driving Project ImplementationFollowing his leadership role in collaborating with SGS on the DFS, project implementation activities are being supervised by Eduardo Queiroz, Atlas Lithium's Project Management Officer (PMO) and Vice President of Engineering. Mr. Queiroz has more than two decades of hands-on experience managing complex, large-scale mining projects."The DFS demonstrates the technical robustness of the Project, with proven DMS technology and comprehensive metallurgical test work validated by SGS, a premier firm in the lithium space," said Mr. Queiroz. "With our processing plant fully fabricated and paid for, and now with the DFS in hand, we have systematically de-risked the Project. I am excited to lead the implementation phase of Atlas Lithium's journey to becoming a lithium producer."Salinas and Clear: The Next Expansion FrontierAtlas Lithium is strategically positioned to capitalize on its extensive regional lithium exploration portfolio in Brazil, particularly through advancement of its Salinas Project and Clear Project, both 100% owned by the Company. Atlas Lithium's Salinas Project is just 5 miles east of the Colina lithium asset previously owned by Latin Resources — a major factor in Pilbara Minerals's acquisition of that company in 2024 for approximately $370 million. At the Salinas Project, Atlas Lithium has already achieved promising initial results, including the discovery of spodumene-rich pegmatites very close to the surface, and highly positive results from soil geochemistry and from LIDAR geological mapping.Atlas Lithium's Clear Project is located less than 4 miles from Sigma Lithium's operating lithium mine, and represents significant untapped potential with highly positive results from soil geochemistry and from LIDAR geological mapping.Diversification in Critical MineralsAtlas Lithium also owns approximately 30% of Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation (OTCQB: JUPGF), a separate company with exploration programs in uranium, rare earths, titanium, and graphite.About Atlas Lithium Corporation Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) is a lithium development company focused on advancing its Neves Project to production. The Neves Project's Definitive Feasibility Study demonstrates excellent economics with a 145% IRR, $539 million NPV, and an 11-month payback. The Neves Project has received operational permitting, and its dense media separation plant has been acquired and transported to Brazil. With approximately 539 square kilometers of lithium mineral rights, Atlas Lithium owns the largest lithium exploration footprint in Brazil among publicly listed companies. Additionally, Atlas Lithium currently holds an approximate 30% ownership stake in Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation (OTCQB: JUPGF).Safe Harbor StatementThis press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

MERAUKE, Indonesia, Aug 1, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Berkat Cipta Abadi (BCA), a subsidiary of oil palm plantation and processing giant Tunas Sawa Erma (TSE) Group, launched a biogas and compressed biomethane gas plant in Papua. The plant will help TSE Group manage their production waste better and create a practical energy solution, while marking an important milestone in the company’s journey toward its vision and net-zero emissions.The South Papuan Governor (fourth from right), Merauke Regent, and Tunas Sawa Erma (TSE) Group CEO with state officials and company executives after a plaque signing marking the launch of TSE's renewable energy plant in Merauke Regency, South Papua (Aug 1, 2025)"What we're launching today is the product of our vision at TSE Group. We're aiming to build an efficient, advanced industry that's also sustainable, environmentally safe, and community-orientated,” said TSE Group's CEO Robert Seung in his opening speech.The biogas and compressed biomethane gas (CBG) plant will convert 1,000 m³ of palm oil mill effluent (POME) into methane on a daily basis, with most of the output providing environmentally friendly electricity for BCA's factories and administrative buildings.The remaining gas will be compressed and used to fuel electricity generators in some parts of the operational site. This way, diesel consumption can be further reduced by 1 million litres per year, ensuring greater energy efficiency across TSE Group offices.TSE Group CEO Robert Seung leads Merauke Regent Yoseph B. Gebze (R) and South Papuan Governor Apolo Safanpo (L) on a demonstration tour of the new biogas and compressed biomethane gas (CBG) plants on Friday (Aug 1, 2025).BCA expects to benefit from annual cuts in emissions reaching 60,708 tonnes, a power supply of 2 megawatts for its 150-tonnes-per-day palm kernel crushing plant, and an annual diesel reduction of 4 million litres.Friday's launch also opened a new chapter in POME-based energy adoption and public-private collaboration supporting Indonesia's carbon-slashing NDC commitment. This commitment also aligns with the Paris Agreement's target to limit global warming to 2°C.The first of its kind in the region, the facility was inaugurated in a ceremony entitled "Green Power, Born from Waste: Papua's First Biogas Power Launch," attended by South Papuan Governor Apolo Safanpo, Merauke Regent Yoseph B. Gebze, South Papuan People's Assembly Chairman Damianus Katayu, Merauke Regional People’s Representative Council members, Merauke Departmental Police Force leader Leonardo Yoga, and other local state officials.TSE Group CEO Robert Seung explains Papua's first POME-to-energy plant to visitors on hand for the plant's inauguration on Friday (Aug 1, 2025)South Papua Governor Apolo Safanpo showed his support, saying the biogas plant aligns with state plans to achieve food and energy independence. "It's a good start to food and energy independence. Thank you, TSE Group, for initiating biogas development in Papua. I hope this site sets an example for regions outside Merauke Regency."Similar praises were echoed by Merauke Regent Yoseph B. Gebze. "On behalf of the Merauke government and people, we want to congratulate TSE Group for the launch. We hope this renewable energy facility propels a region-wide shift towards eco-friendly developments."Biogas facilities will be built in five other locations belonging to TSE Group subsidiaries. In the meantime, the corporation will expand its green initiatives, e.g., EV, solar energy, and eco-friendly fertiliser use in its operations. TSE Group believes its efforts would encourage more palm oil players to achieve end-to-end sustainability and bring a better future for all.For more information, please visit https://www.tsegroup.co.id or contact the TSE Group at pr@tsegroup.co.id.         Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Aug 1, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Concord New Energy Group (“CNE” or "the Group", Stock Code: 0182.HK), announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June, 2025 (the "Period"). In the first half of 2025, the Group's newly built power plants were successively commissioned, and financing costs were further reduced. However, facing the dual challenges of worsening curtailment in certain regions of China and a decline in comprehensive electricity prices, the Group's core business came under pressure, resulting in a decrease in both revenue and profit. In response, the Group promptly adjusted its development strategy in light of the changing environment. With the goal of enhancing profit certainty, we adjusted our business strategies to prioritize quality. Guided by the principles of improving efficiency and creating value, the Group focused on enhancing the profitability of its power plants, strengthening its power trading capabilities.During the period, the Group achieved the continuing operations revenue of RMB1.4 billion, representing a year-on-year drop of 6.6%. Profit attributable to equity holders of the Group amounted to RMB282 million, with a net profit margin of 20%. Basic earnings per share was RMB3.58 cents. As of 30 June 2025, the Group had net assets of RMB8.9 billion and net assets attributable to equity shareholders of the Group per share was RMB1.11.In the first half of 2025, the Group continued to expand the presence in key international markets and strengthened project development capabilities. The Group secured 600 MW of new wind investment projects (listed in annual construction plans) in China, and 152.5 MW of solar projects and 300 MW of energy storage projects outside China. Additionally, during the development of power plant projects, the Group created multi-dimensional synergies with its professional service businesses, including power plant O&M, design, consulting and power trading. The contract value of newly signed external agreements for power plant O&M, design and consulting grew significantly.During the period, the Group successfully achieved the on-schedule grid connection of multiple projects through meticulous planning and organization. In the first half of 2025, the Group's newly commissioned projects added an attributable capacity of 191 MW, including 140 MW of wind and 51 MW of solar power. As of 30 June 2025, the Group owned operational wind and solar power plants with an attributable installed capacity of 4,778 MW, representing a year-on-year increase of 18.0%. This includes 3,844 MW from wind farms, an improvement of 10.9% year-on-year, and 934 MW from solar PV power plants with a year-on-year growth of 60.0%. The attributable installed capacity of the Group’s subsidy-free power plants has reached 3,380 MW, accounting for 70.7% of the Group’s total attributable installed capacity.In the first half of 2025, affected by adverse factors such as unfavorable wind resources, increased curtailment at some power plants and a decrease in the comprehensive electricity price, the Group's power generation revenue declined by 2.1%, accompanied by a decrease in net profit from power generation. During the period, the Group's attributable power generation remained stable compared to the same period last year, reaching 4,759GWh. The Group's weighted average utilization hours for wind farms were 1,142 hours, and for solar PV power plants, they were 531 hours. Additionally, the Group strengthened green electricity trading and green certificate sales, with green electricity transaction volume increasing by 26% year-on-year, effectively offsetting the adverse impact of the overall decline in electricity prices.Meanwhile, the Group concentrated on refined and professional management, reduced financing costs continuously and improved the efficiency of power plants. During the period, the average financing cost for newly drawn loans decreased to 3.15%, and the Group's overall financing cost fell to 3.63%, both remaining at low levels. The Group reduced power generation losses caused by equipment failure by 40%.Mr. Liu Shun Xing, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Concord New Energy Company Limited indicates, “In response to the rapidly evolving landscape of the new energy sector, the Group has implement a series of operational adjustments. Guided by the principles of enhancing efficiency and creating value, we have optimized our business strategies. At the same time, we strengthened management through a focus on ‘refinement and specialization.’ These efforts have yielded meaningful cost reductions and efficiency gains. We have also made concerted efforts to strengthen our power trading capabilities, with a strong focus on electricity marketing, expanding green power transactions and green certificate sales, and actively developing our global business. These initiatives have begun to show promising results. Looking ahead, the Group has formulated and is executing a new development strategy, underpinned by the objective of ‘strengthening the enterprise and enhancing the certainty of profitability.’ We will place greater emphasis on the quality of growth, with the aim of delivering greater returns to our shareholders.” Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Aug 2, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX: 1952.HK) today announced a strategic equity investment in I-Mab (NASDAQ: IMAB), under which Everest will invest US$30.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$242.6 million) in cash. Upon completion of the subscription and inclusive of shares already held, Everest will own approximately 16.1% of I-Mab’s total outstanding shares.Under the terms of the agreement of this offering, Everest will subscribe for 15,846,154 newly issued American depositary shares (ADSs) of I-Mab at a price of US$1.95 per ADS, for a total consideration of US$30.9 million. Upon completion, Everest will hold a total of 15,846,154 ADSs and 6,078,571 ordinary shares, representing approximately 16.1% of I-Mab’s total issued share capital, inclusive of 6,078,571 ordinary shares it already owns. In addition to Everest, several leading global institutional investors are participating in this offering, including Janus Henderson Investors, Adage Capital Partners LP, Woodline Partners, and Exome Asset Management.This strategic investment marks a significant step in Everest’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its position in next-generation cancer immunotherapy. It also reflects the strong clinical and business development complementarity and synergy between the two companies. I-Mab’s Claudin 18.2 x 4-1BB bispecific antibody, givastomig, demonstrated an impressive overall response rate (ORR) of 83% in combination with immunotherapy in a Phase 1b trial for first-line gastric cancer. I-Mab’s differentiated 4-1BB receptor-targeting platform and bispecific antibody pipeline are highly complementary with Everest’s existing mRNA cancer vaccine and in vivo CAR-T platforms.In addition, I-Mab’s unique clinical translational capabilities, particularly in the U.S., combined with Everest’s clinical capabilities in Asia, could help accelerate the development and global expansion of pipeline products for both companies.“This strategic equity investment furthers our plan to be an active player in next-generation oncology programs across global markets. Everest and its Board of Directors believe this investment recognizes I-Mab’s unique clinical translational capabilities in the U.S., which are complementary and synergistic with the Company’s strong Asia presence,” said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. “As a biotech pioneer in China, Everest has built internally developed pipeline assets including mRNA therapeutic cancer vaccines and in vivo CAR-T therapies targeting cancer and autoimmune diseases. Our areas of focus meaningfully intersect with I-Mab’s differentiated 4-1BB platform and bispecific antibody pipeline, including oncology candidates Givastomig (Claudin 18.2 x 4-1BB bispecific antibody) and Ragistomig (PD-L1 x 4-1BB bispecific antibody), both promising programs that we are closely watching. Furthermore, both companies may be able to leverage their combined expertise to run clinical programs in both China and the U.S. Everest is proud to develop innovative and valuable therapies that can benefit cancer patients globally.”The strategic equity investment not only strengthens Everest Medicines’ position in next-generation immuno-oncology, but also extends the global development path of its proprietary AI-powered mRNA platform. As a key pillar of Everest’s “dual-engine” strategy of in-licensing and internal innovation, the company has made solid progress in building and internationalizing its AI+mRNA platform. Multiple pipeline programs are advancing in preclinical research, with a strong focus on oncology and autoimmune diseases.

HONG KONG, Aug 1, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The year 2025 marks the resurgence of industrial capital focused on long-term value creation. Recently, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) stands out with a multidimensional breakthrough—racking up investment successes, winning multiple institutional and individual awards, executing steady share buybacks, and receiving bullish analyst ratings. The company's long-term roadmap anchored in hard-tech and industrial depth is beginning to pay off rapidly.I. From Awards Powerhouse to Hard-Tech Benchmark: Zhao Tianyang’s Investment Strategy Gains Mainstream RecognitionIn July 2025, Zhao Tianyang, Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee of Shoucheng Holdings, was named on multiple prestigious lists by Caijing, Securities Times, and 36Kr, including “CVC & Industrial Capital Top 50 Investors,” “Investor of the Year,” and “Top 100 Most Popular Investors Among Founders.” His personal style and Shoucheng’s synergistic strategy are earning high recognition from both the industry and capital markets.Simultaneously, Shoucheng Holdings was awarded “Outstanding Frontier Technology Investment Institution,” “Top 100 Private Equity Institutions,” and “Best Emerging Healthcare Investor,” marking strong market validation for its heavy investments in robotics, frontier tech, healthcare, and new energy.Zhao’s success is no accident. In recent years, he has led strategic early bets on companies like Unitree, Galbot, Noetix Robotics—many of which are leaders in humanoid robotics, surgical AI, or quantum health. His ability to connect investment with real-world deployment has made him a standout figure in industrial capital.II. From Betting on Underdogs to Ecosystem Realization: Robotics Strategy Goes Deep2025 is a pivotal year for robotics, transitioning from tech validation to scaled delivery. As early as 2024, Shoucheng partnered with Beijing’s state asset authority to launch a multi-billion yuan “Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund.” The fund has backed humanoid, medical, and industrial robots, creating a full-cycle loop from procurement to deployment to reinvestment.The strategy is now paying off. In July, Tsinghua’s Fire God team—powered by Shoucheng-backed Booster Robotics—won China’s first championship in the RoboCup humanoid division. Unitree has entered the IPO fast track. Several portfolio companies—Galbot, Noetix—made headlines at WAIC and the Humanoid Robot Games, marking their transition from R&D to market presence.Meanwhile, Shoucheng is offering real deployment scenarios for robotics—like REIT-backed industrial parks and transport hubs—creating a feedback loop of demand validation and product iteration. This accelerates its shift from investor to ecosystem co-builder.III. Capital Actions Speak Louder: Buybacks and AAA Ratings Support FundamentalsOn the financial front, Shoucheng has been assertive. Since July, the company has repurchased over 36 million shares, investing more than HK$66 million, with stable prices between HK$1.80 and HK$1.87—effectively supporting its share price and liquidity.At the same time, Shoucheng once again received dual AAA long-term issuer ratings from CCXI and United Ratings—China’s top two rating agencies—for the third consecutive year. This affirms its capital structure, financial robustness, and credibility, making it a rare AAA-rated tech-infrastructure hybrid in the Hong Kong market.Reports cite Shoucheng’s strong shareholder support and steady cash flow from parking and industrial space management as key enablers for its long-term tech investments.IV. Analysts Align: “Smart Infrastructure Platform” Logic Gains VisibilityOn July 30, Dongbei Securities initiated coverage on Shoucheng with a buy rating, forecasting a 15% outperformance over the next six months. The report praises Shoucheng’s transition from “traditional asset operator” to “smart infrastructure platform” and its dual-track approach of capital + scenarios in robotics.Previously, leading brokerages including CICC, CSC Financial, and GF Securities had also issued positive ratings, commending the company’s systematic playbook in robotics, new energy, and medtech.Analysts agree: Shoucheng’s integrated model—investment + operation + application—has built a robust, defensible platform that could define smart infrastructure in the Hong Kong market.V. Execution Defines Moat: A Capital Force That Transcends CyclesIn a volatile macro and industry environment, Shoucheng shows strong stability from opportunity identification to value realization. Zhao Tianyang and his team are answering the call of our times: industrial capital isn’t just about foresight—it’s about delivery.As commercial robotics, healthcare recovery, and hard-tech globalization gather steam, Shoucheng stands at the dawn of a harvest cycle. This time, it’s not just telling stories. It’s collecting the rewards.Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

As the flagship event of HKTDC's E-commerce Express, the Hong Kong Shopping Festival has attracted nearly 260 brands across seven major categories, including health supplements, food and beverages, home and living, personal care and cosmetics, apparel and accessories, smart gadgets, and products for the silver market. The festival features over 500 unique products and offers month-long discount promotions. With the full support of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), a launch ceremony for the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival was held today. The Financial Secretary of the HKSAR Government Paul Chan also filmed a promotional video for the campaign (video link: https://bit.ly/4mkvpec).  Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the HKSAR Government said: “Building on the great success of the first edition of the Hong Kong Shopping Festival last year, this year’s event has attracted even more brands to participate. E-commerce is a major global trend in retail development. In 2024, the cross-border e-commerce market of the Mainland with vast potential reached over RMB17 trillion, presenting a golden opportunity for Hong Kong businesses to expand. In light of this, the government has been fully supporting industry upgrading and transformation through various measures to help enterprises establish online sales channels. The Hong Kong Shopping Festival serves as an ideal platform to showcase the city's premium products to more Mainland consumers."Patrick Lau, Deputy Executive Director, HKTDC, said: “New consumer trends are emerging in the Mainland market, reshaping buying habits and creating tremendous opportunities for Hong Kong businesses. While Hong Kong SMEs offer high-quality products, they need to understand the local business environment and e-commerce practices to successfully enter this vast market. As the flagship event of HKTDC's E-commerce Express, the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival will partner with major e-commerce and social media platforms for promotion and include a series of training sessions focused on the Mainland e-commerce market. This initiative aims to help businesses effectively tap into opportunities in Mainland e-commerce and connect with their target customers.”In November 2024, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) released a research study on the development of cross-border e-commerce for Hong Kong traders. HKTDC Director of Research, Irina Fan, said over 60% of surveyed Hong Kong businesses view the Mainland Chinese market as the most promising e-commerce market in the coming one to two years. To help Hong Kong businesses gain insights into the Mainland e-commerce market, HKTDC Research interviewed 2,200 Mainland consumers from different regions about their online shopping behavior and characteristics. Ms Fan said: “Mainland China is the world’s largest e-commerce market and has a well-developed e-commerce industry. Hong Kong businesses must gain a deep understanding of Mainland consumers’ online shopping behaviors, their preferences for Hong Kong products, and the factors they consider when choosing e-commerce platforms. Only then can they formulate appropriate business strategies and effectively capture opportunities in the Mainland e-commerce retail market.” The latest research report: Hong Kong Businesses Navigating Mainland China E-commerce Retail Market - Consumer Survey Results will be released on 7 August 2025.The Hong Kong Shopping Festival aims to help Hong Kong businesses take advantage of the large customer base and traffic on Mainland e-commerce platforms, boosting their brand and product visibility while providing practical opportunities. Last year's inaugural edition was very successful, with total views on e-commerce platforms, social media, and the event's official website exceeding 90 million. This year, the HKTDC has enhanced the programme, enabling businesses to better seize market opportunities and speed up their expansion into the Mainland market.To enhance support for Hong Kong SMEs and local brands entering the Mainland e-commerce market, this year's Hong Kong Shopping Festival has introduced thematic seminars and one-on-one consultancy services. From late 2024 to June 2025, HKTDC has successfully organised a series of training sessions led by marketing experts, who shared practical insights on topics such as cross-border e-commerce, logistics, payment tools, marketing skills, and live-stream production. Additionally, nearly 50 one-on-one consulting meetings were held, where Mainland marketing experts offered tailored e-commerce strategies to individual participating companies based on the unique characteristics of their products.This year, Discount Month and live-streaming e-commerce will return with enhanced offering. Discount Month will take place from 1 to 31 August, with all Hong Kong businesses involved in the Hong Kong Shopping Festival offering discounts of up to 75%. This initiative not only helps businesses grow but also allows consumers to buy high-quality products from Hong Kong online. The official website of Hong Kong Shopping Festival will provide event details, live-streaming  schedules and information about participating brands, products and discounts. In addition, HKTDC will promote the campaign through online and offline platforms, including Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Taobao, JD and others, to boost visits to the official website and, redirect them to the SMEs’ online stores.HKTDC recently hosted the debut “Product Selection Showcase” which attracted over 40 popular KOLs and their teams from platforms like Taobao, JD.com, and Douyin to connect with participating brands offline in Hong Kong. They experienced the products firsthand, learned about the brand stories, shared highlights and live-stream previews. In early August, HKTDC’s invited Mainland key opinion leaders (KOLs), including Li Jiaqi, Lin Yilun and Hu Ke, will conduct 35 live-streaming sessions for more than 80 brands on major e-commerce platforms, in which nearly 20 live-streaming sessions will take place in Hong Kong for the first time, allowing Mainland consumers to fully experience shopping in Hong Kong. This arrangement will make live-streaming more appealing, enhance visibility for Hong Kong products and brands, and build consumer trust and interest, while providing a valuable live-streaming experience for participating businesses.Mainland online marketing strategies are diverse and multifaceted. Beyond live-streaming, there are numerous ways to enhance brand exposure. Ryan Tse, President of the Hong Kong Health Food Association, Director of Vita Green Health Products Co., Ltd., Elijandy, Founder and Director of Cross International Ltd and Jones Ng, Founder of Chiwa Digital Media Capital Group Ltd. shared valuable insights in e-commerce marketing and promotion at the launch ceremony.

HONG KONG, July 31, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As Hong Kong’s equity market continues to face valuation pressure and investor sentiment remains cautious, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) has taken decisive action to respond with confidence.According to disclosures filed with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the company repurchased 20.65 million shares over two consecutive days on July 29 and 30, 2025, for a total consideration of HKD 37.93 million, with prices ranging between HKD 1.80 and HKD 1.87 per share. This is not the company’s first sizable repurchase this year. In fact, Shoucheng Holdings has repurchased over 36 million shares since July, with total capital deployed exceeding HKD 66 million.At a time when many peers remain on the sidelines, Shoucheng’s sustained repurchases highlight the strength of its conviction and capital position.1. Beyond Price Support: A Declaration of Long-Term Confidence by ManagementShare repurchases are among the most direct signals a listed company can send to the capital markets. Unlike short-term technical interventions, Shoucheng’s proactive repurchase strategy clearly reflects management’s firm belief in the company’s long-term intrinsic value.Management commented:“Our current share price does not fully reflect the company’s fundamentals and industrial potential. At a time of significant undervaluation, we believe it is our responsibility to act decisively and demonstrate long-term confidence. This reflects our accountability to shareholders and our responsibility as an industry-driven enterprise.”Public filings show that Shoucheng has been executing a dual-engine strategy focused on asset operation and asset integration, while expanding into core areas such as REITs investment, smart parking, and industrial real estate. At the same time, it is actively investing in emerging sectors such as robotics and medical technology, creating stronger synergy between capital and industry.2. IPO Pipeline in Motion: Capital Realisation Within ReachRecent developments among Shoucheng’s portfolio companies have further reinforced its long-term outlook.Leading robotics company Unitree Robotics has officially launched its STAR Market IPO process. As a global leader in quadruped and humanoid robotics, Unitree’s upcoming listing is widely viewed as a milestone in the sector’s capital market trajectory. Shoucheng led Unitree’s Series C round in 2024 and continued to participate in subsequent rounds. Based on publicly available data, Shoucheng’s managed Beijing Robotics Industry Development Fund is Unitree’s eighth largest shareholder, positioning the company to be a key beneficiary of its IPO.Meanwhile, cell therapy and immuno-engineering biotech firm IMUNOPHARM has also entered IPO preparation, strengthening Shoucheng’s pipeline of high-potential medical technology exits.With multiple portfolio companies nearing their capitalisation windows, Shoucheng’s continued repurchases not only bolster market confidence but also reflect management’s acute understanding of the disconnect between primary market valuations and secondary market pricing.3. Three Key Conferences Accelerate Robotic Ecosystem MomentumBeyond capital developments, Shoucheng’s industrial strategy is approaching a critical point.In late July, the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) successfully concluded. Several of Shoucheng’s portfolio companies, including Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, DEEP Robotics, Galbot and Matrix showcased their latest advances in intelligent manufacturing and embodied AI.Looking ahead to August, two major robotics events are set to follow: the 2025 World Robot Conference (WRC) and the inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games. As premier global platforms, these events are expected to accelerate industry recognition and application for Shoucheng’s growing robotics ecosystem.Companies under Shoucheng’s portfolio—Unitree, Galbot, Booster Robotics, Noetix, and DEEP Robotics—will participate across key domains, from full-system R&D, control software, and bio-inspired actuators to real-world deployment and developer ecosystems. This reflects Shoucheng’s full-chain capabilities from early-stage investment to platform-level industrial enablement.While many companies remain cautious, waiting for a full market rebound, Shoucheng has already taken proactive steps to communicate its confidence. Its recent repurchases are not merely a price management tool—they are an expression of its strategic direction, execution discipline, and commitment to long-term value creation.As the August industry window opens and IPO progress accelerates, Shoucheng’s repurchase strategy may prove not only timely but also visionary, marking an early confirmation of the company’s future growth trajectory.Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
