The Hong Kong SAR Government has been actively encouraging youth innovation and entrepreneurship, motivating young entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams and realize their ambitions in the Greater Bay Area. The Pearl River Delta region has been a key area for Taiwanese enterprises to expand their business in the Mainland, and many Taiwanese businesses have already integrated into the local industrial chains. I hope young entrepreneurs on both sides of the Taiwan Straits will seize the opportunity for achieving high-quality development through collaboration in the Greater Bay Area, work diligently, innovate boldly, and make new milestones in their careers."Lin Keqing, chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Party secretary of Guangzhou, commended the success of the exchange meeting. He said this year marks the fifth anniversary of the implementation of the "Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" and that in the past five years, under the strong leadership of the central government, Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao have pursued synergistic innovation, complementing each other's strengths. The Greater Bay Area has witnessed a surge of creativity, showing the vast potential of growing into a world-class bay area. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has established systematic arrangements to comprehensively deepen reforms and such developments are bringing new and significant opportunities for Hong Kong and Macao to better integrate into overall national development, injecting fresh momentum into expanding cross-strait cooperation and exchanges, helping deepen cross-strait integration and development.

Construction of the Greater Bay Area presents the country with a significant opportunity for deepening reform and opening up, serving as a source of her high-quality development. Lin expressed hope that young entrepreneurs from Hong Kong, Guangdong, Macao, and Taiwan will actively seize the new major opportunities arising from the development of the country, better integrate into her new round of reform and opening up, and collaborate to create a vibrant chapter of pursuing dreams in the Greater Bay Area, achieve their aspirations and contribute to the bright future of national reunification and the great glory of national rejuvenation.In his speech, Wang Rong, Deputy Director of the CPPCC Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Overseas Chinese Committee, emphasized that in recent years, collaborative innovation between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao has deepened significantly, and that technological innovation has driven industrial advancement, leading to the emergence of new industries, new models, and new momentum, which in turn has fostered new forms of productivity. The Greater Bay Area has become a rising global hub for innovation and growth, and the innovative development of the Greater Bay Area has attracted active participation of many Taiwanese entrepreneurs. In doing so, they are integrating into the new wave of national reform and opening up, as well as the process of Chinese-style modernization, helping create new opportunities for integrated development across the Taiwan Strait.In his speech, Lien Sheng-wen, Vice Chairman of the Kuomintang emphasized the infinite potential and charm of the Greater Bay Area. He believes the accumulation of talent pool in the Greater Bay Area is not limited to those from such fields as finance, trade, tourism, technology or industry, but also includes many other talent in the three places. More importantly, many young entrepreneurs dream about starting from scratch in the Greater Bay Area, investing in innovation and entrepreneurship, and ultimately creating outstanding enterprises.In his speech, Tang Bingquan, Director of the Sun Yat-sen Foundation, said, "The Greater Bay Area currently embodies boundless business opportunities and vast prospects. I hope through this year’s Summit, the young entrepreneurs from Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan will see the new dynamics, new opportunities and information networks in the developing Greater Bay Area, and gain confidence in working together to foster innovative growth of the Area. I also hope to encourage more innovative enterprises and entrepreneurs to integrate and invest in the Greater Bay Area, and jointly build a world-class international bay area."Stephen Tai Tak-fung, President of the Hong Kong Guangdong Chamber of Foreign Investors, Founding Chief President of The Association of the Hong Kong Members of Guangdong's CPPCC Committees, pointed out that the theme of this year's Summit, which is "Collaborative Innovation: Chasing Dreams in the Greater Bay Area", is in line with the spirit of the Third Plenary Session and of essence to the construction of the Greater Bay Area. He said the Greater Bay Area is a major national strategy personally planned, deployed, and promoted by General Secretary Xi Jinping, and has an important strategic position in the new development pattern of the country. He thus hopes young entrepreneurs can make the best of the platform the exchange meeting provides to deepen mutual cooperation, give full play to their advantages and make greater contributions to the high-quality development of the country.Li Juren, President of Macau Youth Entrepreneur Association, said for young entrepreneurs from the four regions, it is a responsibility to anchor in the Greater Bay Area, which gives them a rare opportunity to integrate their strengths with those of the country to help her rejuvenate. He expects young entrepreneurs from various regions to learn from and inspire each other, drawing on and complementing each other's strengths. Through innovative cooperation, he aims to promote in-depth integration of urban agglomerations in the Greater Bay Area and together with all parties involved map out a grand blueprint for regional development.Deng Daixian, Secretary General of Taiwan Straits Economic and Cultural Interchange Association, believes economic, trade and cultural ties are crucial to connecting the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

HONG KONG, Sept 11, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Guotai Junan International Holdings Limited (“Guotai Junan International”, the “Company” or “GTJAI”, stock code: 1788.HK) announced that Moody's, an international credit rating agency, updated the company’s credit rating report and reaffirmed its “Baa2” long-term issuer credit rating with a “stable” outlook.

HONG KONG, Sept 11, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - HighTide Therapeutics, Inc. (2511.HK), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of multifunctional multi-targeted therapies for chronic liver and metabolic diseases, presents at the 60th European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting, taking place from September 10-13, 2024 in Madrid, Spain. The presentations include post-hoc analyses of two Phase 2 clinical studies of berberine ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801), a gut-liver anti-inflammatory metabolic modulator, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).“These data provide additional insight on the potential benefits of HTD1801, a novel, multifunctional therapy being developed for the treatment of patients with T2DM. The two ongoing Phase 3 studies (NCT06350890, NCT06415773), fully enrolled in 2Q 2024, evaluate the efficacy and safety of HTD1801 in T2DM patients (as monotherapy or in combination with metformin). We look forward to the results of these Phase 3 studies which we expect to announce in 2025,” said Dr. Leigh MacConell, Chief Development Officer of HighTide.“Efficacy of Berberine Ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801) in Chinese and Western Patients with T2DM”(Presentation 711, Oral Presentation, September 11, 12:45 PM CEST)About the Abstract: T2DM and MASH are highly interrelated, the presence of each increasing risk of outcomes. Patients with both T2DM and MASH are at higher risk of histologic progression in MASH, cardiovascular outcomes, hepatic outcomes, and all-cause mortality. The purpose of this analysis was to compare the effects of HTD1801 in Chinese and Western patients with T2DM with or without MASH. These data demonstrate that while the two populations are ethnically distinct with related but different diseases, treatment with HTD1801 was associated with improvements in key measures of glycemic, cardiometabolic, and hepatic benefit in both populations. HTD1801 offers holistic benefits that are observed in both Chinese and Western patients, irrespective of underlying disease, that address core aspects of both T2DM and MASH.“Berberine Ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801) Provides a Unique Therapeutic Approach for Patients with Metabolic Diseases and Severe Insulin Resistance”(Presentation 708, Oral Presentation, September 11, 12:45 PM CEST)About the Abstract: Insulin resistance is a significant risk factor for T2DM, obesity and MASH. HTD1801 enhances the utilization of glucose and fats through activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), thereby improving insulin sensitivity. As HTD1801 is under development as a treatment for patients with T2DM, as well as MASH, we analyzed the effects of HTD1801 response based on degree of insulin resistance. These data demonstrate that HTD1801 can alleviate the metabolic inhibitory effects caused by hyperinsulinemia, leading to even greater hepatic and metabolic benefits in patients with more severe insulin resistance, offering a unique therapeutic approach for individuals with T2DM and/or MASH.About HighTide TherapeuticsHighTide Therapeutics, Inc. (2511.HK) is a globally integrated biopharmaceutical company focusing on the discovery and development of first-in-class multifunctional multi-targeted therapies with chronic liver and metabolic diseases with significant unmet medical needs. The company is developing multiple clinical assets, including therapy for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), type 2 diabetes (T2DM), severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Berberine ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801), the company’s lead drug candidate, received Fast Track designation from the U.S. FDA for both NASH and PSC, as well as Orphan Drug designation for PSC.

The agency distinguishes itself by blending personalised field visits with cutting-edge technology and a robust benchmarking system, ensuring transparency and accuracy in all operations.

Fast Debt Recovery Specialist is among the first agencies to receive this prestigious licence, which is reserved for agencies recognised for their dedication to lawful and effective debt collection practices. This endorsement is vital as it establishes Fast Debt Recovery Specialist as a legally compliant and trustworthy agency. It also reassures their clients, both locally and globally, of the integrity of their practices and their team in delivering collection services within Singapore.The debt collection industry often faces unfavourable perceptions, even for legitimately credible agencies like Fast Debt Recovery Specialist, due to stigma and unethical practices that have surfaced in the news.

The debt collection firm proposed an initial discounted first settlement of $1,888, which was promptly paid. During this meeting, the agency was unaware that the debtor had also reached out to an authority figure in an attempt to avoid further payment.Shortly after, the client received a letter from this authority figure, a situation that could have been intimidating. However, with Fast Debt Recovery Specialist's expert advice and their experience in dealing with authorities, the client confidently navigated the incident.

BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA, Sept 10, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sensori.Ai, the only company blending neuroscience with generative AI (GenAI) to transform product innovation, consumer engagement and experiences, today announced the launch of the latest book from CEO and founder Dr. A.K. Pradeep and experts at Sensori AI. "Neuro AI: How to Win the Minds of Consumers Using Neuroscience-Powered Gen AI" ("Neuro AI") is prescriptive for practitioners of innovation, messaging and marketing and explores how to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace by transforming GenAI from ‘generic AI' to truly ‘generative AI.' Through the use of real world case studies and use cases, "NeuroAI" reveals practical applications for appealing to the nonconscious mind, where 95% of decisions are made. Published by Wiley and co-authored by Dr. Anirudh Acharya, Dr. Rajat Chakravarty and Ratnakar Dev, the book is now available via Amazon and all major booksellers.Since its founding in late 2022, Sensori.Ai has developed a number of solutions designed to embed neuroscience principles and breakthrough algorithms into GenAI to create unique consumer understanding, product innovation and sensory design platforms. The company pioneers the use of unique nonconscious data (data consumed by the decision making nonconscious mind of the consumer) to create its breakthroughs. For example, Sensori.Ai created the first neuroAI-based algorithm to aid in the creation of fragrance, flavor and music. To date, the company has helped develop over 20 new products, over 100 campaigns and packaging designs and repositioning for most of the recognized global brands in the CPG, FMCG, and retail spaces. "Neuro AI" provides a primer on the neuroscientific principles and research backing these solutions with a transparent look at how these algorithms are created and the rules they follow."Make no mistake: GenAI is revolutionizing every part of our lives today. Apple Intelligence is just the beginning of this revolution. ‘Neuro AI' shows how memory structures and translational neuroscience puts humanity back at the center of GenAI-based design," said Dr. Pradeep. "For instance, every product maker wants their consumer to desire their product. Algorithmically embedding the neuroscience of desire in GenAI creates exciting product designs and market messaging that speak deeply to the nonconscious mind of the consumer, which is the powerful, driving force behind purchasing decisions."95% of desires and decisions are rooted in the unconscious mind. By leveraging its architecture and selectively utilizing the data streams that feed it, GenAI algorithms can be trained to operate in vastly more efficient and creatively effective ways. This return to an anthropocentric GenAI rooted in neuroscience-hence the term neuroAI-is both the thesis of the book and the focus for Sensori.Ai. GenAI trained on key neuroscientific principles and using proprietary algorithms can quickly develop and refine product concepts, packaging, pricing, messaging and other key features to appeal to consumers in a deep, personal and brand-guided manner.Sensori.Ai's solutions focus on using neuroAI for four specific business needs: consumer understanding (including neurographic profiles, archetypes, price sensitivity, personality and proclivities); product and brand innovation (including product features, product patent and IP protection, product pricing, product promotion and product volumetrics prediction); sensorial innovation (including fragrance design, flavor design, music design and packaging visual design); and desire creation (including advertising, messaging, desire scoring, desire-based message redesign and desire-based PDP redesign). "NeuroAI" details all of the science and methods in these four areas, which are also contained in the Sensori.Ai platform and solution suite."AI is everywhere now, but there's precious little practical information about it that's available to people," said Priya Nair, Business Group President, Beauty & Wellbeing at Unilever. "NeuroAI" changes that. The big add is that the book also covers consumer neuroscience. It's a book that everyone who wants and needs to get a good grasp of this stunning technology, and how the mind works, should have.""Neuro AI" builds on Dr. Pradeep's decades-long experience in the field of consumer neuroscience, detailed in the titles "AI for Marketing and Product Innovation" (2019) and "The Buying Brain" (2010). Dr. Pradeep, a twice successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur, holds over 90 patents and previously founded NeuroFocus (acquired by Nielsen) to provide neurological testing for consumer research. He also founded BoardVantage (acquired by Nasdaq), to provide SaaS board governance software for boards of directors and executives.To learn more about Sensori.Ai and "Neuro AI: How to Win the Minds of Consumers Using Neuroscience-Powered Gen AI," please visit sensori.ai.
