These presentations mark Sequencio’s first major scientific unveiling since its formation and showcase significant advancements in next‑generation cancer vaccine technologies based on Sequencio’s proprietary TrueHLA™ Epitope‑to‑Efficacy™ translational design framework, which enables rational, data‑driven vaccine development across circRNA, mRNA, peptide, and protein‑based platforms.

Collectively, Sequencio’s five AACR 2026 presentations highlight a consistent theme: rationally designed cancer vaccines that demonstrate robust immunogenicity and compelling anti‑tumour activity across multiple targets and modalities in preclinical models. These data underscore the strength of Sequencio’s approach to translating antigen selection into functional immune responses and tumour control. Building on this foundation, Sequencio is prioritizing its most promising programs for IND‑enabling studies, with the goal of accelerating select vaccine candidates into early‑stage clinical development through strategic partnerships and global collaboration.

Dr Melvin Toh, Vice President & Chief Scientific Officer of CK Life Sciences, expressed, “Sequencio’s cancer vaccine pipeline continues to advance with strong momentum. Our AACR 2026 presentations underscore both the scientific promise of our vaccines and the disciplined execution driving their progress. We look forward to building on this foundation as we advance next‑generation immunotherapies for patients.”

The adviser search points to a shift in how school systems with substantial reserves are treating their balance sheets. What might once have been handled more conservatively through deposits and internal oversight is now increasingly being managed with the same disciplines used by foundations, family offices and other long-horizon institutions. In ESF’s case, the task appears especially significant because the group’s endowment is no longer a marginal reserve but a material financial resource that can influence scholarships, strategic projects, property decisions and resilience during periods of market or enrolment volatility.

ESF’s own disclosures show why the mandate matters. In its 2023/24 annual report, the foundation said its endowment includes both a residential property portfolio and investments held in ESF Investments Limited. It reported that the fair value of investments held in that vehicle rose 13.4% to HK$587.7 million from HK$518.2 million a year earlier, while finance and investment committees continued to focus on asset performance monitoring and strategic asset allocation. The same report said three companies had been set up to restructure the holding of residential assets within the ESF endowment, with a new operating model expected to launch in the first half of 2025.

That helps explain why an external adviser would be attractive now. Once a fund reaches this scale, the main challenge is not simply preserving capital. It is deciding how much risk an education group should take, how liquid the portfolio needs to be, whether alternative assets belong alongside traditional holdings, and how to align returns with liabilities such as campus upgrades, technology spending and support programmes. For a school operator, there is also a reputational dimension: parents and staff expect prudence first, even when boards are under pressure to extract higher returns from idle capital.

ESF’s finances show both stability and constraints. The group reported total operating income of HK$2.85 billion in 2022/23, with tuition fees accounting for 84.3% of operating income and government grants 5.3%. It also said the long-running phase-out of government subvention, which began in 2016/17, was continuing, with the phase-out for secondary schools having started in 2022/23. By 2023/24, ESF said strong interest income had allowed it to seed a HK$10 million scholarship fund and a HK$30 million development fund, including support for a project researching the use of AI in teaching and learning.

Those figures matter because they show that investment income is becoming more relevant to the group’s strategic flexibility even as tuition remains the dominant revenue line. They also suggest that endowment governance is no longer peripheral to education policy inside ESF. A stronger investment framework could help smooth cyclical swings in income, but it could also expose the group to debate over mandate design, manager selection and tolerance for drawdowns in volatile markets. Educational institutions globally have wrestled with that trade-off for years: conservative portfolios can struggle to keep pace with inflation and capital needs, while more ambitious allocations can attract scrutiny when markets turn.

The Hong Kong backdrop adds another layer. Authorities are trying to reinforce the city’s appeal as an asset and wealth management centre, with proposed tax reforms aimed at making it easier to attract managers and capital. The Securities and Futures Commission said total assets under management in Hong Kong’s asset and wealth management business rose 13% to HK$35.1 trillion at the end of 2024, while the number of firms licensed for asset management increased 4% to 2,212. That means ESF is seeking advice in a market that is both deep and actively competing for institutional mandates.

Founded by ordinance in 1967, ESF occupies an unusual place in Hong Kong’s education landscape: a statutory body with a large footprint, significant fee income and a legacy of government support that is being phased out over time. Its latest public materials describe a group with more than 18,500 students and a broad mix of Hong Kong permanent residents and overseas passport holders, reflecting its role as a major English-medium provider in the city. That scale means any change in how it manages long-term capital is likely to be watched closely by school operators, fund managers and policymakers alike.

Business Highlights:

In 2025, Phancy’s three core business segments — AI Platform, API, and Agentic AI — established a multi-engine growth model, creating a cycle of synergy and mutual reinforcement.

AI Platform: Sustained Growth Driver

Driven by strong domestic demand for localization and the national “AI+” initiative, the AI Platform remained the Company’s core growth engine.

The number of adapted and certified models has now surpassed 30,000. The Company had initially planned to scale the number of adapted models to the hundred-thousand level within a year, a milestone it has already achieved ahead of schedule.

API Business: Fastest Growth Engine

With the rapid adoption of AI Agents, token consumption has grown exponentially. Phancy’s API business, built on a flexible pay-as-you-go model and a comprehensive ecosystem, achieved leapfrog growth, and became the Company’s fastest growing segment. Token revenue for the first quarter of 2026 alone has already surpassed the full-year total for 2025.

The API business is anchored by the Phanthy platform, complemented by PhanRouter and PhanClaw, creating a comprehensive token ecosystem in synergy with the Sage Platform:

1. Phanthy – the core platform of the token-based ecosystem. It integrates cloud services with more than 30,000 adapted models and industry-specific vertical models, delivering accessible API capabilities that reach over 100 million of terminal products and support the large-scale deployment of AI capabilities.
2. PhanRouter – a unified API gateway for large models. It enables developers and enterprises to seamlessly connect with dozens of mainstream model providers, it is compatible with the OpenAI standard and major domestic chips, and supports both private deployment and token-based payment, reducing customer costs and easing operational complexity.

Working in synergy with Phanthy and PhanRouter, PhanClaw manages the token lifecycle, including risk control, permission management, and log auditing, meeting the stringent security and compliance requirements of industries, such as finance and government affairs.

Agentic AI: Long-Term Sustainable Growth

Agentic AI serves as the Company’s revenue cornerstone and a “value multiplier” for empowering a wide range of industries. Operating under a Result-as-a-service model and aligned with national “AI+” energy development policies, this segment expanded rapidly across high-value industries, achieving economies of scale and strong growth momentum. Working in synergy with the AI Platform and API businesses, Agentic AI provides long-term support for revenue and contributes to the high-quality development of the Company’s operations.

In terms of business expansion, the Company is focusing on core scenarios in spot electricity trading and medium- to long-term electricity trading. It has developed a full-chain AI solution encompassing forecasting, decision-making, risk control, and post-trading review. This solution has already been deployed in multiple pilot provinces and recognized by key customers, effectively improving efficiency and profitability in wind power, photovoltaics, and energy storage. This model is now being rapidly extended to other industries, including manufacturing and finance.

Future Outlook:

Looking ahead to 2026, Phancy will continue to advance its four strategic priorities: deepening its AI 2.0 roadmap, accelerating the deployment of industrial-grade AI Agents, driving international expansion, and further extending into the consumer market.

In terms of the AI 2.0 roadmap, the Company will continue to pursue its core philosophy of “AI for Everyone”, focusing on foundational technology R&D and real-world deployment. By refining its end-to-end technology system, Phancy aims to lower barriers to AI adoption and enable more enterprises and users to benefit from AI. For industrial-grade AI Agents, the Company will accelerate deployment under a Result-as-a-service model, deepening its presence in key sectors such as energy and finance, and developing replicable, scalable industry solutions, to expand business scale and profitability. On international expansion, Phancy will strengthen partnerships with overseas brands and channels, building a robust global operations framework to support worldwide growth. In the consumer market, the Company will focus on core consumer needs by launching high-experience smart terminal products, further expanding its customer base and establishing a dual-driven growth model powered by both technology and market reach.

In 2026, Joining Hands with the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra to Present Light and Shadow on Strings

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 March 2026 – Co-presented by the Hong Kong Arts Festival and The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, “No Limits” 2026 will collaborate for the first time with Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra (HKCO) to jointly present Light and Shadow on Strings. The concert will be held on 28 March 2026 (Saturday) at 3pm at the Tsuen Wan Town Hall Auditorium. Featuring a 50-member HKCO ensemble alongside rising erhu star Yang Enhua, the performance brings together solo, chamber and orchestral works in a celebratory programme of Chinese music, showcasing the artistic synergy that emerges when musicians of diverse abilities share the same stage.

The concert is one of the major programmes of “No Limits” 2026 and marks HKCO’s inaugural participation in this inclusive festival, representing a significant step forward in advancing inclusive arts within Hong Kong’s mainstream cultural landscape.

Rupert Woo Pak-tuen, Associate Conductor of HKCO and Resident Conductor of the Hong Kong Young Chinese Orchestra, will lead the ensemble and Yang Enhua in a selection of orchestral works. These include the huqin quartet Ru-Meng-Ling, the five-piece combo Autumn Moon on a Placid Lake, and the string quintets Three Variations on Yangguan and A Joyful Evening. The programme also features Tam Yat-sing’s Eternal Night, which was named the Audience’s Favourite at HKCO’s 2023 Music from the Heart concert. Through diverse ensemble formations, the performance weaves a richly layered world of Chinese music, revealing both the delicacy and dynamism of Chinese music through refined musical dialogue.

Yang Enhua will perform three solo works: Dishui Nanyin Words of the Blind, recognised as part of Hong Kong’s Intangible Cultural Heritage; Sun Wenming’s renowned Farewell; and Hua Yanjun (Ah Bing)’s iconic Reflection of the Moon on the Water. Through nuanced expression and tonal depth, these works embody both the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese music, conveying resilience and dignity of spirit amid adversity.

The concert will also present the world premiere of Luminous Sound Journey, a newly commissioned work by cross-disciplinary composer Luk Wai-chun, commissioned by “No Limits” and HKCO. Inspired by the sensory experiences of visually impaired individuals in perceiving light and sound, the piece intertwines sonic and visual imagination, guiding audiences into a musical journey that transcends perception and expectation.

Co-produced by “No Limits” and HKCO, Light and Shadow on Strings marks an important milestone in the journey of inclusive arts towards the mainstream stage.

Eddy Zee, Project Director of “No Limits”, said: “Light and Shadow on Strings is an important embodiment of No Limits’ commitment to advancing inclusive arts into the mainstream. The collaboration between Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra and erhu soloist Yang Enhua demonstrates how the spirit of inclusion can be realised on the foundation of professional artistic excellence, revealing the distinctive creative energy that emerges when mainstream musicians and artists of diverse abilities come together.”

Dr Chin Man-wah, Executive Director of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, said: “There are multiple perspectives when it comes to defining the success of a social care project; it is not just about the audience attendance rate, but more importantly about the cultivation of talent, the accumulation of experience, and the establishment of mindsets.”

Rupert Woo Pak-tuen, Associate Conductor of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra and Resident Conductor of the Hong Kong Young Chinese Orchestra said: “Light and Shadow on Strings reveals the rich layers of Chinese music, from the subtle intimacy of solo passages to the powerful resonance of ensemble works. Through this collaboration, we hope audiences can experience the music’s purity of tone, its striking contrasts, and the profound emotional intensity it carries. This programme serves to illustrate our vision of harmony in diversity and our unwavering commitment to inclusion.”

Yang Enhua said:”Music has always been my bridge to the world, leading me beyond the boundaries of visual impairment. Through this performance, I hope to show how sound carries emotion and imagination, and to embrace the diverse ways we all perceive the world. I truly value this collaboration with No Limits and Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra. Their professionalism and trust have allowed us to create and share the sincere power of music on equal ground.”

Introducing new security solution designed for the rapidly emerging era of agentic AI

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 March 2026 – TrendAI™, the enterprise AI security leader, today introduced TrendAI™ Agentic Governance Gateway, a new security solution engineered to give organizations visibility and control over autonomous agent interactions to strengthen security where systems interact across data, tools, and environments with increasing autonomy.

To learn more about TrendAI™ and TrendAI™ Agentic Governance Gateway, visit: trendaisecurity.com.

Rachel Jin, CPBO and Head of TrendAI™: “Tools like OpenClaw show just how powerful and accessible this new model has become. Organizations need to deploy these systems to unlock the next wave of productivity, and many already are, often without centralized oversight. TrendAI™ Agentic Governance Gateway enables this by providing visibility, control, and confidence.”

Traditional cybersecurity is built to protect endpoints, networks, and applications. In contrast, agentic AI systems operate across dynamic chains of interaction where agents, models, APIs, and data continuously exchange information and trigger actions.

Eva Chen, CEO of Trend Micro: “As AI systems become more autonomous, security must evolve from protection to governance. This is the next frontier of cybersecurity and the focus of TrendAI™.”

TrendAI™ Agentic Governance Gateway is a new way to address the emerging security gap created by agentic AI systems, such as OpenClaw, where autonomous agents act across enterprise environments without clear security control points. This was demonstrated last week at NVIDIA GTC, where a fundamentally new attack surface was highlighted – one that traditional security models were not designed to control: Autonomous agentic frameworks, such as OpenClaw, accelerating enterprise adoption of AI systems capable of planning, executing, and coordinating actions across workflows at machine-speed. There has never been a more critical business-level need than understanding and governing how agentic systems behave, and what actions they are taking. The orchestration required to monitor this attack surface created complex, multi-step workflows across enterprise systems until now.

According to Forrester, “AI agents are proliferating across workflows, but security programs built for human-centric architectures fail in agentic environments. These agents operate with dynamic reasoning, ephemeral identities, and goal-driven autonomy, creating unpredictable attack paths. Risks to agentic architectures include intent hijacking and cascading hallucinations that extend beyond confidentiality to integrity and availability. Without guardrails, enterprises risk regulatory violations, financial loss, and disclosure events from agentic security issues.” ¹

TrendAI™’s Agentic Governance Gateway allows enterprises to focus on the behavior, interactions, and outcomes of AI systems in real-world environments. TrendAI™ Agentic Governance Gateway is delivered through the TrendAI Vision One™ platform, building on TrendAI™’s existing strengths, including AI-driven analytics to detect anomalous behavior and emerging threats, and a unified approach that correlates context across endpoints, cloud, applications, and AI systems.

TrendAI™’s Agentic Governance Gateway enables enterprises to:

• Gain visibility into how agents interact across systems
• Understand the context and intent behind agent communications to identify risky or unintended actions
• Enforce policy and control over agent-driven actions
• Introduce human oversight at critical decision points
• Simulate governance decisions before deployment — previewing the full policy impact without executing it
• Stage, preview, and roll back governance changes through a managed lifecycle

With these new advanced capabilities, TrendAI™ is enabling organizations to secure the critical interaction layer – the dynamic communication fabric where autonomous systems coordinate, make decisions, and drive enterprise actions. By establishing robust oversight and control at this pivotal layer, TrendAI™ ensures that agentic interactions are visible, governed, and trusted, effectively closing the security gap in agent-driven AI environments.

TrendAI™ is the enterprise business unit of Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704).

ManpowerGroup Greater China and Beacon Group Partner with FGA Trust and Payment Asia to Launch “Talent in HK” Program

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 March 2026 – ManpowerGroup Greater China Limited (Stock Code: 2180.HK), a leading global workforce solutions provider, and Beacon Group (parent company BExcellent Group Holdings Limited, listed on the Main Board of the HKEX, Stock Code: 1775.HK), a renowned Hong Kong educational institution, today announced the joint launch of the “Talent in HK” Youth and Family Life Service Security Program.

This forward-looking initiative is supported by Payment Asia, a leading payment platform in Hong Kong, providing streamlined payment channels. FGA Trust will serve as the third-party custodian. The program aims to establish an institutionalized, transparent, and collaborative ecosystem, providing end-to-end protection from education and academic support to life services and career consultancy, while injecting long-term momentum into Hong Kong’s strategy to attract and retain international talent.

As Hong Kong continues to attract top-tier students globally, many non-local students face challenges adapting to a new cultural environment upon arrival. Recently, there has been a rising trend in crimes targeting this demographic, including scams involving impersonation of government or academic institutions, as well as telecommunications and online fraud. These incidents pose substantial threats to talents’ personal and financial security, causing significant concern for their families.

In response to these social concerns and to reinforce the comprehensive security net for international students, ManpowerGroup, Beacon Group, and FGA Trust have initiated this program to provide stable, orderly support and ensure the long-term residency of talent in Hong Kong.

Holistic Talent Services: Strengthening Hong Kong’s Foundation as an International Hub

The “Talent in HK” program offers comprehensive life services for students and their families. Beacon Group will provide a long-term study plan spanning three to five years, including customized education, admissions services, profile enhancement, and application support. Simultaneously, ManpowerGroup will facilitate internships, visa arrangements, and long-term career development services.

Once a student receives an admission offer, parents can inject tuition and living expenses through Payment Asia’s official channels into a dedicated project account monitored by FGA Trust. This ensures financial security and the precise disbursement of funds. The entire process will be followed by an audit report, ensuring a smooth transition from campus to the workplace. The program’s website is expected to go live around mid-April this year, with official applications opening in May.

In an era of intensifying global competition for higher education and talent, Hong Kong remains a pivotal international financial and educational hub. Non-local students are not only a vital component of the education system but also a driving force for cross-cultural exchange and future professional talent. They are estimated to contribute over HK$10 billion in tuition fees annually, serving as a significant pillar of the local economy.

Multi-Party Collaboration: A New Paradigm for Talent Services

The core strength of the program lies in its innovative collaborative model, bringing together industry leaders:

• ManpowerGroup Greater China (2180.HK): As the exclusive career development partner of the project, ManpowerGroup will leverage its extensive network and expertise to provide career planning, internship matching, and employment guidance, bridging the gap between graduation and professional life, and help students to have a smooth transition from academies to careers.
• Beacon Group (parent company BExcellent Group Holdings Limited 1775.HK): As one of the initiators of the project with 37 years of experience in the education sector, Beacon Group will provide personalized academic consulting and profile enhancement, provide better guidance and adaptation for candidates to pursuit their study in Hong Kong. Its deep roots in the education sector help families navigate educational choices and avoid scams or unnecessary hurdles.
• FGA Trust (TCSP license: TC008341): As the structural architect and asset trustee, FGA Trust will establish a specialized trust framework with individual sub-accounts for each student. This ensures funds for tuition, housing, and living expenses are managed with clear traceability, mitigating risks of fraud or improper spending.
• Payment Asia: As the primary channel partner, Payment Asia provides secure and compliant collection channels, ensuring the seamless transfer of funds into the program’s dedicated accounts.

Long-Term Vision: Supporting Urban Competitiveness

Studying abroad is the starting point for talent development in Hong Kong. Proactive financial arrangements reduce uncertainty during status transitions and life settlement, increasing the willingness of talent to remain in the city long-term. Data suggests that initiatives like the Top Talent Pass Scheme (TTPS) continue to drive local consumption, with rents for small-to-medium residential units expected to rise by 5% this year.

Ms. Lancy Chui, Senior Vice President of ManpowerGroup Greater China, stated: “We understand the strong desire of non-local graduates to work in Hong Kong. By providing proactive career planning and internship arrangements, we can reduce uncertainty during their transition into the local workforce, helping them settle and contribute to Hong Kong’s market.”

Ms. June Leung, Founder of Beacon Group, noted: “Talent cultivation requires long-term education. We are delighted to initiate this program, integrating academic support with life security and career development to provide a comprehensive, forward-looking environment for talent growth.”

Ms. Helen Chen, Chief Strategy Officer of FGA Trust, added: “Protecting the financial security and well-being of international students is both a social responsibility and a key to consolidating Hong Kong’s status as an international education hub. This program ensures a seamless transition from study to employment, transforming international talent into a long-term driver for Hong Kong’s development.”

The launch of “Talent in HK” marks a significant step from fragmented support to a comprehensive ecosystem. Through institutional innovation and cross-sector collaboration, the program aims to provide a safe harbor for international students and their families, contributing to Hong Kong’s goal of becoming a global talent hub.

By facilitating 360 business matching and hosting more than 100 greentech themed events, the GreenTech Hub is injecting new momentum into Hong Kong’s development as an international green technology and green finance centre.

The celebration ceremony for the 1st Anniversary Showcase was officiated by Professor Sun Dong, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, he said: “The anniversary of GreenTech Hub today is just the beginning. In collaboration with our three major I&T parks, the Government will continue to invest in I&T infrastructure and foster the development of strategic industries, with a view to enhancing the overall I&T ecosystem and promoting interactive development of the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors.”

Dr Sunny Chai, Chairman of HKSTP, remarked, “The first anniversary of GreenTech Hub proves that Hong Kong is where global green innovation converges and scales. We have attracted world-class R&D to the city while enabling homegrown greentech to be deployed worldwide for sustainable development. Through strategic partnerships, HKSTP is forging closer connections between research, industry, capital and real-world application scenarios, accelerating commercialisation and strengthening Hong Kong’s development into an international green technology and green finance hub.”

Leveraging Hong Kong’s Role as a Super-Connector to Bridge the Full Value Chain from R&D to Commercialisation

HKSTP announced the addition of four new partners to GreenTech Hub: CLP Holdings Limited, CTF Services Limited, Invest Hong Kong, and The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited, further strengthening Hong Kong’s green technology collaboration network. The GreenTech Hub brings together 20 partners spanning private enterprises, public bodies, universities, and industry associations.

As the city’s leading collaborative platform for green innovation in the city, GreenTech Hub works closely with its partners to provide comprehensive support for park companies, fast-track the real-world application of green solutions, and further drive the synergistic development of green technology and green finance.

Global Expert Perspectives on Green Trends Alongside a Showcase of Breakthrough Technologies

The event featured a keynote address by Mr. Ethan N. Elkind, Director of the Climate Program at the Center for Law, Energy and the Environment (CLEE) at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law, who shared insights on global green development trends.

GreenTech covers a broad range of areas, including new energy, energy storage and carbon trading, with battery and energy storage technology identified as one of our key focus areas.

Redefining the Logic of Competition and Interpreting the Essence of Strategy in the New Era

Mr. Yao, Founder & Chairman of Apexmind Consulting, delivered a keynote, offering a profound analysis of how competitive dynamics are evolving in the new era. He emphasized: “Competition is not about meeting demand, but about winning the mind. The purpose of business is not to create customers, but to occupy a position in the mind. Business is not about improving efficiency, but about winning people’s hearts. Decisions should not be made from the inside out, but from the outside in. Strategy is not the sum of parts, but an integrated system.” In his view, as Chinese enterprises transition from product globalization to brand and model globalization, the global market urgently requires a strategic language that is both universally applicable and capable of engaging in dialog with the world.

Gaining Recognition from International Professional Forces, Co-building a New Global Consulting Ecosystem

Nicholas Warn, Chair of the International Council of Management Consulting Institute, delivered a keynote and expressed his vision for deep cooperation with Apexmind to collaboratively build a global business ecosystem and drive industry evolution. He stated, “What Chinese consultancies can bring to us, particularly consultancies like Apexmind, is an enrichment of what we have already.” This recognition from a global authoritative consulting organization, combined with Mr. Yao’s same-day honor as the IMCHK Honorary Fellow, signals a pivotal shift that Chinese strategy consulting is evolving from a recipient of global business wisdom into a co-creator of original strategic thought systems.

Identifying Seven Strategic Opportunities, Mapping the Growth Blueprint for Chinese Enterprises

Co-President, Apexmind Consulting, Mr. Chen Ji released “Seven Strategic Opportunities for Chinese Enterprises” on site, presenting a structured strategic methodology that provides companies with clear, actionable growth pathways and breakthrough directions. Each opportunity reflects insights refined through real-world strategic engagements with 62 enterprises. These frameworks enable companies to transform external uncertainty into sustainable growth certainty.

From Hong Kong to the World: Powering Shared Growth Across the Greater Bay Area

Distinguished speakers from academia, industry associations, and business communities contributed further insights. Professor Shi Weilei of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, from a global perspective, proposed that the transnational strategy of Chinese enterprises must anchor a balanced core between localization and global collaboration. Mr. Yang Yang, Professor of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Director of HKUST Shanghai Center, illustrated the value driven by disruptive innovation scenarios in smart cities, noting that data and algorithms in the AI era are opening entirely new competitive tracks for global entrepreneurs.

Daniel Chan, President of the Institute of Management Consultants Hong Kong (IMCHK), stated that Hong Kong is upgrading from a “Super Connector” to a “Super Value-Chain Enhancer”. By building a strategic bridge for Chinese enterprises going global and international firms entering the market through two-way empowerment, Hong Kong demonstrates its unique value as a hub. Dr. Huang Weihong, Vice President of The Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong, shared a Hong Kong perspective, interpreting the pathways for brands to achieve strategic breakthroughs in the new consumer wave by leveraging regional advantages and strategic wisdom.

The establishment of Apexmind Consulting Hong Kong Office and the successful conclusion of this summit are a small step in Apexmind’s global journey, but a significant leap for Chinese strategy consulting toward “Cultural Handshake, Strategic Co-evolution”. With a proven track record of enabling 62 enterprises to achieve billion-level growth at scale, Apexmind Consulting continues to drive the industry forward from setting local benchmarks to contributing to global standards. Moving ahead, Apexmind will remain committed to an open vision, bringing strategy frameworks rooted in China and validated through real-world practice to the international stage. In the evolving landscape of global business, Apexmind Consulting is poised to elevate the Chinese consulting industry to new global heights.

Under the partnership, Etiqa Insurance Singapore’s suite of Shariah-compliant Family Takaful products will be distributed through AIA Singapore and AIA Financial Advisers, the nation’s largest tied distribution channel comprising more than 6,300 highly professional, qualified AIA insurance representatives. This expanded reach significantly increases accessibility and choice for customers seeking principled and values-aligned protection and savings options.

Growing Demand for Values-Based Financial Solutions

Global demand for Takaful continues to rise as consumers increasingly prioritise financial solutions aligned with their personal values. The global Takaful market is projected to grow from US$36.5 billion in 2025 to US$63.6 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%[1]. Since launching its Takaful offerings, Etiqa Insurance Singapore has seen strong and accelerating momentum, supported by rising consumer awareness and growing confidence in Shariah-compliant financial protection.

Creating a Unified Takaful Ecosystem in Singapore

The partnership brings together the complementary strengths of both insurers to build a more cohesive and accessible Takaful ecosystem:

• Etiqa Insurance Singapore — The pioneer in reintroducing Takaful insurance to Singapore after more than a decade, with deep expertise and a dedicated Shariah advisory framework.
• AIA Singapore — One of the nation’s leading life and health insurers with extensive distribution capabilities, broad community reach and a diverse customer base.

Together, the two organisations are positioned to significantly expand the availability, understanding and adoption of Takaful solutions in Singapore.

“This partnership marks an important step in advancing access to Shariah-compliant protection and savings solutions in Singapore,” said Claudia Soh, Acting Chief Executive Officer, Etiqa Insurance Singapore. “By leveraging AIA’s extensive distribution network and strong presence within the Muslim community, we can scale Takaful solutions more effectively and reach customer groups that have historically been underserved. As demand for values-aligned financial planning grows, this collaboration reinforces our commitment to inclusive and responsible insurance.”

“This partnership with Etiqa is a pivotal step in our commitment to inclusivity and we are excited to work together,” said Alvin Fu, Chief Distribution Officer, AIA Singapore. “By integrating Etiqa’s Shariah-compliant expertise with our highly professional AIA insurance representatives, we can serve a wider customer base, close protection gaps and help more families live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.”

Bringing Takaful to the Masses

While rooted in Islamic principles, Shariah-compliant, values-based Takaful solutions serve a broad spectrum of customers and appeal to increasingly values-driven consumers seeking ethical, transparent and socially responsible financial protection and savings solutions beyond the Muslim community.

Beyond distribution, Etiqa Insurance Singapore shares a long-term commitment to raising awareness, understanding and adoption of Takaful solutions across Singapore. Through educational programmes and community engagement initiatives, the partnership aims to enhance financial literacy, deepen understanding of Takaful principles and bring Takaful education directly to underserved communities, empowering consumers to make informed decisions on protection and savings.

Co-organised by the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau and Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK), the WGHK Summit will once again convene influential family office decision-makers and successors from around the world in Hong Kong. Participants from Asia, Europe, the Americas, Oceania, the Middle East, and Africa will join attendees from the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong in insightful sharing. This year’s summit is going to showcase Hong Kong’s profound strengths and development potential through three core themes: “Strategic Asset Management for Family Legacy”, “Cultural Value Foundation for a Thriving Market”, and “Smart Tech Innovation Driving Capital Appreciation”. A number of heavyweight speakers will inspire the participants with their visionary thinking on the future of the family office ecosystem.

Nowadays, quite a number of family offices are deepening their philanthropic endeavours. Taking advantage of Hong Kong’s diverse and vibrant philanthropic ecosystem, a special fireside chat on “Sports and Philanthropy” is set for the summit to explore how sports and philanthropy can work together to create positive value for society.

The Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Christopher Hui, said, “The global landscape is evolving fast these days with geopolitics getting more complex. There has never been a better time for hosting the WGHK Summit than now to give family offices looking for diversified allocation and risk dispersion an occasion to connect with each other and explore opportunities. Hong Kong offers a highly favourable development environment with numerous potential and predictability for family offices, underpinned by our diversified international financial markets coupled with resilience, robust and transparent legal and tax systems, world-class financial and professional services, and well-developed ecosystems for philanthropy, arts, and innovation. The WGHK Summit is a flagship event hosted by our Government to showcase to the global wealth owners the unique advantages of this city. We will continue to consolidate Hong Kong’s leading position as a family wealth hub in the Asia-Pacific region, and adopt a multipronged approach to keep fostering the development of the family office sector through measures in areas such as tax concessions, talent attraction, investment facilitation and building of an ecosystem. All these will make Hong Kong even more attractive in all aspects to global family capital, positioning this city as the most preferred platform for ultra-high-net-worth families worldwide to manage their cross-border wealth.”

The Director-General of Investment Promotion at InvestHK, Ms Alpha Lau, noted, “According to the latest market study, the number of single-family offices in Hong Kong surpassed 3 380 by the end of 2025, reflecting a growth of over 25 per cent in two years – a testament to Hong Kong’s attractiveness as a global family office hub. The WGHK Summit serves as a pivotal platform for Hong Kong to deepen connections with the global family office community and foster cross-border collaboration. Against the backdrop of increasing trend of reallocation of global capital toward Asia, alongside rising trade protectionism and geopolitical uncertainty, Hong Kong will continue to leverage its unique advantage of enjoying strong support from the motherland and being closely connected to the world. We will provide global families with a predictable, one-stop environment for establishing a presence and operating in Hong Kong, helping them capture growth opportunities on the Chinese Mainland and in Asia, and steadily advancing long-term investment and multi-generational succession through diversified asset allocation and professional risk management.”

The WGHK Summit will feature a distinguished line-up of guest speakers:

• Dr Han Bicheng – Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), BrainCo
• Mr Maximilian Kaufmann – Representative of Major Shareholder of Leica Camera AG
• Mr William Heinecke – Founder and Chairman, Minor International PCL
• Mr François Pictet – Managing Partner, Pictet Group
• Mr Yao Ming – Founder of Yao Foundation; Former Chairman of Chinese Basketball Association; NBA All-Star
• Mr Qiu Heng – Chief Marketing Officer, AgiBot
• Ms Irene Lee – Chairman, Hysan Development Company Limited
• Dr Ren Feng – Co-CEO and Chief Scientific Officer, Insilico Medicine
• Mr Wesley Ng – CEO and Co-founder, CASETiFY
• Mr Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges – CEO, The Hong Kong Jockey Club; and
• Mr Michael Wilding – Group Chief Operating Officer, ZURU Group

Beyond the WGHK Summit, the Milken Institute and Bloomberg LP (Bloomberg) will also host the Global Investors’ Symposium (March 23) and the Family Office Forum (March 25) respectively in the same week, focusing on wealth management and global investment trends. The synergy generated by these three major forums will showcase Hong Kong’s unique charm in the family office landscape to the fullest to international capital, allowing participants to interact, exchange ideas, and explore opportunities together in Hong Kong.
