HONG KONG, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) marks its 60th anniversary today with the launch of its first celebratory initiative. Its flagship retail platform – Design Gallery – is rolling out the “Design Gallery on the Move” campaign, showcasing original Hong Kong brands and design products to residents and visitors over three weeks (29 May to 18 June) and highlighting the creativity, diversity and vibrancy of Hong Kong design.Professor Frederick Ma, HKTDC Chairman, said: “For six decades, the HKTDC has grown alongside Hong Kong enterprises, guided by a steadfast belief in proactively ‘going global’ and leading Hong Kong businesses to expand globally. As early as 1967, we travelled to Africa to promote Hong Kong products, converting a cargo truck into a mobile exhibition. Later, when we led the Hong Kong toy industry to participate in the renowned Nuremberg International Toy Fair in Germany but were unable to secure exhibition space, we set up a temporary showroom outside the venue using the same approach, bringing Hong Kong toys onto the international stage. This flexible, resilient and can-do attitude embodies the Lion Rock spirit of Hong Kong.”He added: “The ‘Design Gallery on the Move’ campaign carries forward this original vision by bringing original Hong Kong brands into local communities across the city and showcasing the creativity and strengths of local SMEs. Looking ahead, the HKTDC will continue to tell the story of Hong Kong brands and design, staying true to our mission over the past 60 years.”Six thematic zones take diverse Hong Kong design into the communityThe campaign features 36 Hong Kong brands and over 60 products, spanning six thematic zones: DG Delights – Hong Kong themed, DG Discover, DG Delights – IP, DG Green, DG Luxe, DG Silver Market & DG Mini. The mobile exhibition will tour 16 locations across Hong Kong, enabling residents and visitors to discover the unique stories behind different local brands. A wide range of products will be on display. Visitors can purchase their favourite items at Design Gallery’s physical stores or online. During the campaign period, customers shopping at the online store will receive discount coupons.To celebrate the HKTDC’s 60th anniversary, Design Gallery is also launching a series of promotional offers, including the “60 items at 40% off” campaign at its Wan Chai Convention and Exhibition Centre store from May to July, featuring 20 selected items each month across categories such as gifts, homeware and fashion accessories etc. Design Gallery promotes around 400 Hong Kong brands annually.Event series celebrates HKTDC’s 60th anniversary with the communityThe HKTDC will roll out a series of themed initiatives to mark its 60th anniversary, including “Catch the 60th Anniversary-themed Tram”, “HKTDC’s 60th Anniversary Celebration – Next 60 Forum”, “HKTDC’s 60th Anniversary Cocktail Reception”, a special giveaway campaign during the Hong Kong Book Fair, a community art co-creation event and the “HKTDC 60th Anniversary Exhibition”.

SHANGHAI, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sigenergy today introduced SigenAgent, the energy industry’s first all-domain AI agent, fundamentally changing how households and businesses interact with renewable energy.Unveiled during the company’s "AI in All" event, SigenAgent elevates solar-and-storage hardware from basic, reactive equipment into autonomous, goal-driven systems.As global energy dynamics transition from power generation to complex, volatile consumption models, manual management has hit its limit. SigenAgent solves this by allowing hardware to actively interpret and execute broad user goals."True AI is not just a chatbot companion," said Tony Xu, Founder and CEO of Sigenergy. "It is a partner that understands your goals, executes tasks on your behalf, and continuously learns over time."The Vision: User Sets the Goal, AI Handles the RestSigenAgent operates on a continuous loop of perception, reasoning, and action. By synthesizing real-time factors like weather patterns, fluctuating electricity prices, and grid conditions, it automatically charts and executes the most efficient operational path.To deliver complete energy management, SigenAgent deploys four specialized, autonomous capabilities:Energy Manager: Brings "autonomous driving" to home solar-and-storage systems. Users simply set macro targets—such as lowering utility bills or securing backup power—and the system automatically configures and runs the hardware.System Doctor: Replaces manual logs with "second-level diagnosis." A single command triggers an immediate, station-wide scan that pinpoints system anomalies and reports root causes, drastically lowering maintenance overhead.Power Trader: Maximizes revenue for storage assets in highly volatile, high-frequency electricity markets by optimizing real-time trading and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) responses.Business Assistant: Links directly to enterprise data lakes to dissolve information silos across production and delivery, providing clear, data-driven operational recommendations.Built on a Foundation of Hardware and SafetySigenAgent is not an isolated software patch, but the culmination of Sigenergy's long-term hardware and software integration. CEO Tony Xu emphasized that AI in energy requires more than algorithms; it demands a reliable physical foundation.Today, over 200,000 global power stations run on Sigenergy hardware with an ultra-low 0.24% annual failure rate. Built on this bedrock, Sigenergy utilizes all-domain sensing across generation, storage, charging, and grid access—supported by 100M high-speed networks, WLAN-Mesh, and Sub-1G communications to create a seamless, closed-loop operational environment.Thanks to an AI-ready architecture, existing operational units can access these agent features via seamless over-the-air (OTA) software updates.While granting execution capabilities to AI, the system enforces strict architectural boundaries to guarantee safety and user trust:User Authorization: SigenAgent operates strictly as an assistant, requiring explicit user approval for critical parameter changes.Secure Infrastructure: Localized data storage across six global data centers ensures absolute compliance with regional privacy laws.Offline Resilience Guaranteed: Pre-programmed dynamic backup strategies ensure the system continues to run smoothly even during network outages.Transparent AI Decision: A fully transparent user interface eliminates the "AI black box," mapping out exactly why a system is charging or discharging over a 24-hour window.SigenAgent is designed to meet users where they are, integrating seamlessly into common workflows and messaging applications like WhatsApp and Telegram.Standardizing the Intelligence EraTo help define this new era of energy, Sigenergy collaborated with Frost & Sullivan to publish the 2026 AI-Powered New Energy Industry Development White Paper.The report outlines the Energy Intelligence Level (EIL) framework—a five-tier classification system modeled after autonomous driving standards—designed to guide the industry's transition from individual device intelligence to fully autonomous, system-wide optimization."What Sigenergy is delivering today is not just a product, or a tech upgrade—we are delivering a completely new energy lifestyle," said Xu. "Users can optimize every kilowatt-hour without needing to understand complex technical details. Energy systems are shifting from passive hardware into active companions."About SigenergyFounded in 2022 and headquartered in Shanghai, Sigenergy (6656.HK) is a technology-driven company focused on innovation in the new energy sector. Leveraging advanced digital intelligence and a highly skilled talent base, the company has expanded across photovoltaic (PV) generation, smart energy storage, and high-efficiency electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions.Guided by its “AI in All” strategy, Sigenergy integrates artificial intelligence across its product ecosystem to deliver safer, smarter and more efficient energy solutions for households and businesses worldwide.For more information, visit: www.sigenergy.comMedia ContactTracy Li Email: tracy.li@sigenergy.com Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

SINGAPORE, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Life in Singapore often brings unexpected costs that can sometimes deter even the best financial plans. While it is tempting to see a credit line as extra disposable income for non-essential lifestyle choices, the most responsible way to use standby cash is to create a safety net for unplanned costs.Having a credit facility ensures you can handle urgent needs without disturbing your long-term savings or selling your investments at a loss, if you use it prudently and be mindful of the applicable interest, fees and repayment obligations. Here are five smart ways to use your standby funds for emergencies.Urgent home repairsA home is often your largest asset, but it requires constant upkeep. A sudden burst pipe, a leaking ceiling, or a faulty electrical circuit is more than just an everyday inconvenience; it is a threat to your property's value. If you do not fix these issues immediately, they can lead to mould, water damage, or even fire hazards.Most contractors in Singapore require an upfront deposit or immediate payment upon completion. These costs often fall outside your regular monthly budget. In such cases, using your standby cash allows you to hire a professional right away. This prevents a small, manageable repair from turning into a massive renovation bill that could otherwise cause you a significant financial loss in the future.Managing non-insured healthcare costsResidents of Singapore generally have good insurance coverage through MediShield Life (a lifelong national health insurance scheme in Singapore) or other private plans. However, insurance may not always cover all medical circumstances. For example, a sudden dental emergency like a fractured tooth or a painful abscess requires immediate treatment. Outpatient specialist visits or specific diagnostic tests may also require you to pay in cash first before you can claim them back.In a medical crisis, time is of the essence. One should not have to wait until the next payday to seek relief from pain or to get a necessary scan. Having standby cash ready means you can walk into a clinic or hospital, thus ensuring you receive the care you need without the added stress of checking your bank balance during a health scare.Bridging income gaps during retrenchmentRetrenchment is a sudden loss of income that can take place regardless of your industry or experience level. In a competitive job market, it can typically take between three to six months to secure a new role that matches your previous salary.While a dedicated emergency fund is ideal, it may not always cover the full duration of your unemployment. In such cases, standby cash acts as a vital secondary buffer. It helps you cover essential monthly commitments temporarily, such as utility bills, and insurance premiums, thus allowing you to focus on your job search. This prevents you from falling behind on payments, which could otherwise damage your credit score.Critical family emergenciesFamily needs often arise without warning. A parent might face sudden hospitalisation, or a relative might need urgent financial help due to an unexpected crisis. These situations are emotionally draining and may often require immediate access to cash.If your wealth is tied up in stocks, bonds, or unit trusts, you might be forced to sell them during a market downturn to get the cash you need. This locks in your losses and hurts your long-term retirement goals. Therefore, using standby cash provides the liquid funds needed in such emergencies. This allows your investments time to recover and continue growing, protecting your future wealth while you handle the present crisis.Replacement of essential appliancesHome appliances often go unnoticed until they stop working. If your refrigerator dies in the middle of a humid Singaporean week, your food can spoil within hours. Similarly, a broken washing machine can quickly disrupt a busy household's routine.Replacing these essential items can sometimes cost a significant amount of money. While it might be momentarily feasible to buy the cheapest model available to save money, it is often smarter to use standby cash to buy a high-quality, energy-efficient replacement. Quality appliances last longer and save you money on electricity bills, making them a better financial choice in the long run.How to restore your safety netUsing standby cash responsibly means having a clear plan to pay it back. When you repay the amount you borrowed, that credit limit becomes available for you to use again for the next potential emergency.Create a repayment schedule: As soon as the emergency is over, look at your monthly budget. Determine how much you can repay each month to clear the balance quickly.Prioritise high-interest debt: If you have multiple debts, focus on paying off the used standby cash to minimise interest costs.Use bonuses or windfalls: If you receive a work bonus or a tax refund, use a portion of it to renew your credit line.Final thoughtsThe value of standby cash lies in its role as a short-term financial buffer when used responsibly. It is not designed for lifestyle upgrades or impulsive shopping. Instead, it is there to give you peace of mind and protection. By reserving these funds for unplanned essential needs, you can protect your savings and ensure that a temporary crisis does not become a permanent financial setback.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte Ltd, an external marketer engaged and compensated by UOB Ltd.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Modern Dental Group Limited ("Modern Dental" or "the Group", stock code: 03600.HK), a leading global dental prosthetic devices provider, announced its operational data for the three months ended 31 March 2026.During the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group’s multi-dimensional strategies as supported by the ongoing trend of digitalization in the dental industry have resulted in the Group reporting record revenue during this period. This occurred in a period of challenging macro-economic environment with general softness in demand for dental procedures, trade war and geopolitical uncertainties. The Group has been proactive in its approach to deal with the unprecedented international trade environment leveraging its international production facilities located in Thailand, Vietnam and Mainland China.Global RevenueFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the total revenue of the Group increased by approximately 12.1% (approx. HK$987.5 million) compared with the three months ended 31 March 2025.^ The decrease in revenue in original currency of the North America market (ex-MicroDental) was approximately 2.3% and the decrease in revenue in original currency of MicroDental was approximately 14.6%.# The increase in revenue in original currency of the Mainland China market was approximately 1.5% and the decrease in revenue in original currency of Hong Kong market was approximately 3.7%.++ The percentage change in Others represented changes in value of Hong Kong Dollars as Others included revenue dominated in different currencies.* The revenue information above is based on the locations of the customers.** The conversion rate shall not be taken as a representation that respective original currency could actually be converted into HK$ at that rate, or at all.The increase in revenue in Europe was primarily driven by higher sales order volumes, supported by the successful launch of new products such as digital dentures and the rollout of our state-of-the-art digital workflows. As a frontrunner in providing comprehensive digital solutions — ranging from minimally invasive and aesthetic prosthetic solutions to intra-oral scanners and clear aligners — the Group is well positioned to capitalize on the accelerated digitalization trend within the dental industry.Revenue from MicroDental, our North American domestic dental laboratory business, declined due to the softer US economy, which led to reduced patient demand for high-value discretionary dental treatments, particularly implants. The Group’s revenue in the Mainland China market recorded 1.5% increase in original currency terms during the first quarter of 2026, representing a turnaround from the decline of 4.2% in 2025. The decrease in revenue in the Hong Kong market also narrowed to 3.7%, as compared to the decline of 11.5% in 2025.The Mainland China market appears to have reached the bottom of the impact from the volume-based procurement policies and a prolonged period of intense price competition. This has also led to aggressive promotions for dental implant treatments by Mainland China dental clinics in Hong Kong, which experienced a notable decrease in patient visits. The Hong Kong market is gradually moving towards stabilization in line with this trend. The Group has deliberately pivoted away from low-margin segments and remains focused on serving mid- and high-value customers, thereby ensuring the long-term sustainable profitability of the Group’s business.The increase in revenue from Australia reflected a strong uptake of digital products driven by the digitalization trend in dental industry and anti-snoring products.The increase in revenue in Others mainly represented the increase in revenue in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.Notably, positive revenue growths were achieved in higher-margin regions such as Europe and Australia, whereas revenue declined in the relatively lower-margin business of MicroDental. This favorable geographical mix shift and the appreciation of foreign currencies against Hong Kong Dollars are expected to improve the Group’s overall margin percentage.Sales Volumes (Number of Cases)For the three months ended 31 March 2026, the total sales volumes of the Group increased by approximately 4.0% to approximately 720,000 cases (three months ended 31 March 2025: approximately 692,000 cases).Digital Solution CasesFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group’s digital solution cases (overseas and domestic) that are produced from its Mainland China, Thailand and Vietnam production facilities (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include digital solution cases produced in the Group’s non-Mainland China, non-Thailand and non-Vietnam production facilities or overseas/satellite dental laboratories) increased to approximately 294,712 cases reflecting an increase of 24.6% for the same period in 2025 (approximately 236,488 cases) as a result of our clients’ increased adoption of intra-oral scanners.Average Selling PriceFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the average selling price of the Group’s dental prosthetic products across its markets was HK$1,273 per case (three months ended 31 March 2025: HK$1,188), representing an increase of approximately 7.2% mainly due to the appreciation of foreign currencies against Hong Kong Dollars.Looking forward, the global digitalization trend continues to drive consolidation within the dental prosthetics industry, enabling the Group to further expand its market share. Our ongoing digital transformation initiatives are enhancing both customer and patientexperiences while improving operational efficiency, further differentiating the Group from competitors and positioning us to outperform industry peers. The Group’s underlying fundamentals remain solid, and we are well positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities going forward.About Modern Dental GroupModern Dental Group Limited (Stock code: 03600.HK) is a leading global dental prosthetics provider, distributor and consultant with a focus on providing custom-made prostheses to customers in the growing prosthetics industry. Our product portfolio is broadly categorized into three product lines: fixed prosthetic devices, such as crowns and bridges; removable prosthetic devices, such as removable dentures; and other devices, such as orthodontic devices, sports guards, clear aligners and anti-snoring devices.Modern Dental Group has a global portfolio of respected brands, including Labocast, Permadental and Elysee Dental in Western Europe, YZJ Dental in China, Modern Dental Lab in Hong Kong, Modern Dental USA and MicroDental in the United States, Modern Dental Pacific in Australia and New Zealand, Modern Dental SG in Singapore, Modern Dental TW in Taiwan, Apex Digital Dental in Malaysia and Hexa Ceram in Thailand.

NEW YORK, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Confimarket, backed and incubated by WebWise Capital, is pioneering confidential consensus discovery and information-aggregation infrastructure for institutional participants requiring strict privacy, robust market structures, and advanced financial workflows. Built on the Canton Network, the privacy-preserving market intelligence platform secured first place at the inaugural HackCanton Season 1 grand final, emerging victorious from a competitive global pool of more than 300 development teams across 15 countries.Confimarket, a privacy-preserving prediction market built on Canton Network, has won first place at HackCanton Season 1 after advancing through a competitive field of more than 300 builders from over 15 countries.The project was selected as the first-place winner following the grand final of HackCanton Season 1, an ecosystem hackathon organized by AppsFactory and focused on DeFi, RWA, DAO & Governance, and AI applications for Canton Network.Confimarket is being developed as a prediction market for serious capital and demanding participants. Its core thesis is that prediction markets become materially more valuable when users can participate without exposing sensitive strategy, intent, or positioning to the broader market.Prediction markets have already shown their ability to aggregate information at scale. However, many high-value participants — including professional traders, institutions, analysts, and organizations with sensitive views — may be reluctant to participate in fully transparent public markets. Confimarket is designed around that gap: market-based information discovery with privacy-preserving participation, credible settlement, and infrastructure suitable for more advanced financial workflows."Prediction markets are one of the most important categories in crypto because they turn information, belief, and probability into tradable markets. But the next stage of the category requires better infrastructure for participants who cannot expose their strategies or positions publicly," said Alexander I, General Partner at WebWise Capital. "That is the opportunity we see with Confimarket: confidential prediction markets built for more serious capital, stronger market structure, and institutional-grade use cases."Canton Network is a natural environment for this model because it combines privacy, interoperability, and an architecture designed for synchronized financial markets. Canton describes itself as the first privacy-enabled open blockchain network, built to preserve privacy while allowing participants to exchange data and value across connected applications.Canton Network has also been attracting prominent financial institutions and ecosystem participants. Official Canton materials list organizations such as J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BNY, BNP Paribas, Bank of America, and others in the broader ecosystem. For Confimarket, this makes Canton a strategically relevant foundation: the network is designed around privacy-preserving financial infrastructure rather than general-purpose public-chain transparency.During HackCanton Season 1, Confimarket refined its product thesis, shipped core functionality, gathered user feedback, and strengthened the architecture behind the platform. The team used the hackathon as an early proving ground for confidential prediction market workflows on Canton Network, with a focus on market creation, trading logic, settlement flows, and the user experience required to make prediction markets accessible to higher-value participants.The hackathon win represents an early ecosystem validation signal for Confimarket as the project moves from prototype development toward product readiness. The grand final and judging process provided feedback from Canton ecosystem leaders, venture investors, infrastructure companies, and industry participants.Projects at HackCanton Season 1 were evaluated by representatives from the Canton Foundation as well as venture and industry participants including DWF Ventures, LongHash, Scytale Digital, Jsquare VC, Quantstamp, and Chainlink Labs.Following the hackathon, Confimarket is focused on completing its trading engine, improving the user interface and onboarding flow, preparing private beta access, and working toward liquidity and ecosystem partnerships. The team's next phase is centered on turning the hackathon-winning prototype into a product that can support real prediction market activity, privacy-preserving participation, and institutional-grade use cases.Confimarket is also continuing to position itself within the Canton ecosystem as a prediction market layer for use cases where privacy, credible execution, and market-based forecasting are essential.Follow Confimarket on X for product updates, ecosystem announcements, and launch news, or explore the live app at confimarket.io.About ConfimarketConfimarket is a privacy-preserving prediction market built on Canton Network.
