HKSTP Presents ‘Global Connect – Global Innovation Exchange’

Novel Network Set Out to Connect I&T Ecosystems

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 April 2026 – Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) celebrated the launch of ‘Global Connect – Global Innovation Exchange (GIE),’ a platform that creates a pull for innovation and technology (I&T) ecosystems from the World to Hong Kong, to pour collective efforts into maximising exposure and impact of emerging startups and solutions.

Representatives of consulates and chambers of commerce from 17 countries were in attendance in supporting the cause of the ‘Global Innovation Exchange’ network.
Representatives of consulates and chambers of commerce from 17 countries were in attendance in supporting the cause of the ‘Global Innovation Exchange’ network.

The GIE was designed to bridge for China-HK-International with I&T developments, where year-long international engagement activities are in the works, including a curated series of country-and market-focused networking events, with UK, France, and Germany lined up from April to June, as well as success story sharing sessions, opportunity overviews, and potential partnership projects examinations, building as a two-way gateway enabling overseas innovators leverage the city as a springboard into the vast opportunities in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) opportunities, while supporting companies moving from the Chinese Mainland to Hong Kong and onward to international markets.

Representatives of 17 countries were in presence, apart from local bodies, in supporting the cause that tech ventures are to be introduced to markets overseas, and vice versa. Maurits ter Kuile, Consul General of the Netherlands in Hong Kong and Macao, stated: “Hong Kong is an interesting spot for Dutch companies that are looking to explore the Chinese market. Language, regulations, taxes and an international orientation, are part of the attraction. As a Dutch government body that is looking to support them, we would say that the GIE looks like an appealing concept to give them a leg up.”

Panel discussions on Hong Kong’s unique position on the world stage as a multicultural anchor for the flow of capital in and out of Asia, echoed the notion. Johannes Hack, Chairman of European Chamber of Commerce, said “One of the challenges when setting up a partnership is understanding the other side’s value drivers. Only when you truly match what each side expects can the joint business flourish. Hong Kong is an excellent place to establish common ground and HKSTP is a great partner to support finding a shared vision.”

Terry Wong, CEO of HKSTP, said “We introduced ‘Global Connect – Global Innovation Exchange’ with heart full of confidence that it will bring convergence of all efforts under one platform, so that international networks, delegations, and I&T communities are able to connect better with more seamless access to even broader resources.”

The Network represented not an event, but an enunciation of commitment to contribute in driving an influx of cross-border business matching and investment opportunities, further strengthening the city’s appeal as an international I&T hub, and continuing the momentum of technological advancement in the GBA and beyond.Hashtag: #HKSTP

Prudential launches more affordable Integrated Shield Plan riders with additional benefits

Premiums for the new supplementary plans, PRUExtra Care series, are at least 30 per cent lower compared to the previous suite of riders; new critical illness and retrenchment benefits added

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 April 2026 – Prudential Singapore (“Prudential”) has launched a refreshed suite of Integrated Shield Plan (“IP”) supplementary plans (“riders”) that provide comprehensive medical protection at lower premiums. The three new riders are at least 30 per cent more affordable than the previous suite across all age groups and plan types, with some having even larger differences.

In particular, PRUExtra Preferred Care, the new rider for Prudential’s preferred list of private healthcare institutions, is at least 45 per cent more affordable across all age groups compared to its previous corresponding rider, with some groups seeing a 55 per cent difference.

The three new riders – PRUExtra Premier Care, PRUExtra Preferred Care, and PRUExtra Plus Care (known as the “PRUExtra Care series”) – replace Prudential’s previous suite of riders, and align with the new rider requirements announced by the Ministry of Health (MOH) in November 2025.

PRUExtra Premier Care is a rider for private healthcare institutions, PRUExtra Preferred Care is a rider for Prudential’s preferred list of private healthcare institutions under the PRUPanel Connect programme, and PRUExtra Plus Care is a rider for restructured hospitals (up to Class A wards).

The PRUExtra Care riders offer new benefits including additional policy year limits of up to $100,000 if hospitalisation is due to critical illness, and a 12-month premium waiver during retrenchment.

Dr Sidharth Kachroo, Chief Health Officer, Prudential Singapore, said: “By balancing more affordable premiums with meaningful enhancements, the PRUExtra Care riders lower the barrier to comprehensive medical protection for individuals. It also supports the long-term sustainability of private healthcare protection for customers in Singapore.”

IP main plans offer broader coverage by giving individuals more choice, including higher ward classes, access to private healthcare, and the flexibility to choose their doctor. Prudential’s riders complement its IP main plans by providing additional coverage for out-of-pocket expenses and treatments that MediShield Life and IP main plans may exclude, including coverage for non-cancer drug list treatments and non-listed cell, tissue and gene therapy products (CTGTP).

Dr Kachroo added: “Everyone wants peace of mind that they are protected against large hospital bills, and this fortunately is covered for citizens and permanent residents by MediShield Life in Singapore. Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) add value by providing individuals with a wider choice in the type of care they receive. When coupled with a rider, it expands that set of options and the breadth of coverage for the consumer, especially those who want private care. For foreigners who don’t have MediShield Life, IPs provide access to more healthcare options while they reside in Singapore.”

Enhanced critical illness limits and new retrenchment benefit

A critical illness (CI) diagnosis often requires intensive medical treatments and prolonged recovery periods. In view of rising incidences of CIs such as cancer[1], heart attack[2], and stroke[3] in Singapore, Prudential has introduced an early-to-late CI benefit in its PRUExtra Care series. Should a customer be hospitalised or require surgery due to a covered early, intermediate, or late-stage CI, their policy year limit will be increased by up to $100,000.[4]

Dr Kachroo said: “Our PRUExtra Care customers get up to $100,000 added to their policy year limits should they be hospitalised due to critical illness. Managing a critical illness usually involves complex treatments and repeated procedures, which can quickly put pressure on customers’ annual limits. By increasing policy year limits for early to late-stage critical illnesses, they can be assured that their coverage can keep pace with their treatment needs, allowing them to focus fully on recovery and healing.

“We also recognise that health security is tied to financial stability. An unexpected job loss can make it challenging for customers to maintain regular insurance premium payments, and result in a lapse in health protection when it’s needed most. To prevent this, we have introduced a retrenchment waiver benefit to ease their financial burden and give them some time to get back on their feet.”

Under the new retrenchment waiver benefit for PRUExtra Premier Care​ and PRUExtra Preferred Care customers, those who remain unemployed for a continuous period of six months can apply for a waiver on their rider premiums for the next 12 months. The waiver continues to apply even if the customer secures new employment during the waiver period.

More affordability with use of panel providers and no-claim discount

Customers with PRUExtra Premier Care who are treated by panel[5] and extended panel specialists at panel healthcare institutions can keep their premium level the same at the next policy renewal under the claims-based premium pricing framework.[6]

In addition, PRUExtra Premier Care customers enjoy a 20 per cent discount (“PRUWell Reward”) on their standard level premium (the lowest premium tier within their age band) when their policy is issued with no special terms and conditions, as well as at their next policy renewal if no claims are made.

Importance of reviewing protection needs with a financial representative

As individuals move through different life stages, their healthcare needs and financial circumstances can change. Customers are encouraged to review their protection with a financial representative to assess their overall needs and determine the appropriate level of coverage before making any decision to downgrade or drop their riders.

Dr Kachroo said: “We understand that customers need to strike a balance between premium affordability and protecting themselves from potentially high medical costs in the future. While they may enjoy immediate cost savings when they switch to a plan that offers lower premiums, they also need to consider what they might need to pay in cash from their own savings when they require hospitalisation given that the deductible is no longer covered and the co-payment cap has increased. This is a personal choice, and our role as an insurer is to ensure that our customers fully understand the coverage and benefits that they enjoy with their plans, as well as the implications of downgrading or dropping coverage, so that they can make an informed decision.”

OceanX Announces A Shared Voyage: Joint U.S.-China Student Ocean Exploration and Education Program

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 April 2026 – OceanX today announced A Shared Voyage: OceanX China 2026, a joint U.S-Chinese goodwill mission that will bring together 10 American and 10 Chinese early-career ocean scientists, students, and instructors in pursuit of their shared goal to better understand the ocean and each other. OceanX is the ocean exploration, science, and education initiative founded by Ray and Mark Dalio. This initiative will be the first voyage of OceanX’s flagship research and media vessel, OceanXplorer, to China, starting in Hong Kong on March 29 and concluding in Shanghai on April 8, 2026.

The mission is an extension of the 42-year relationship Ray Dalio has had with China and its people, and it is delivered in collaboration with the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA), the Second Institute of Oceanography (SIO), and the China-U.S. Exchange Foundation (CUSEF). The mission’s goals are to promote high quality people-to-people exchanges between nations, advance ocean literacy and scientific understanding, and equip participants with the skills to communicate the importance of our shared ocean to broader audiences.

Expanding Access to Ocean Science and Education

The China 2026 program represents a milestone in OceanX’s global engagement efforts, creating new opportunities for students and researchers to access hands-on learning at sea. Participants from the United States and China will take part in a structured program designed to build practical knowledge, develop interpersonal connections, and strengthen individual capabilities in ocean science, operations, and communication.

“At this time of great conflict in the world, I believe more than ever in the power of people-to-people exchanges to create mutual understanding” said Ray Dalio, Founder of OceanX. “Understanding the ocean is a shared interest for both the U.S. and China—and for the scientists and students who are on this joint mission. It is a thrill to see them working together.”

Hands-On Learning Across Science, Operations, and Media

The program delivers a structured curriculum that combines lectures, workshops, and applied learning experiences across three focus areas:

  • Marine Exploration: Ocean data collection methods, ecosystem observation, and introductions to oceanographic research tools
  • Operations: Life aboard a research vessel, including equipment demonstrations such as ROV operations, water sampling, and microscopy
  • Media & Communication: Science communication and media production training to support clearer public understanding of ocean issues

Participants will develop individual and small-group projects as part of the program, focused on applying knowledge gained throughout the voyage. They will also forge new connections and build mutual understanding with their peers.

“Understanding the ocean requires both scientific insight and the ability to communicate it clearly,” said Vincent Pieribone, Co-CEO and Chief Science Officer of OceanX. “This program is designed to give participants exposure to the tools, technologies, and storytelling approaches that are shaping how ocean science is conducted and shared.”

Inspiring the Next Generation of Ocean Leaders

By combining advanced marine technology, scientific research, and immersive storytelling, OceanX is working to broaden access to ocean discovery and inspire future generations to engage with ocean science.

“A Shared Voyage: OceanX China 2026 represents an important opportunity to support ocean education and public awareness,” said Ms. Lyu Tin, director of the Department of North American and Oceanian Affairs, Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA).

“This initiative highlights the importance of continued investment in ocean science education and capacity building,” said Prof. Huang Wei, Chinese Chief Scientist for the mission and research at Second Institute of Oceanography (SIO).

A Shared Voyage: OceanX China 2026 supports OceanX’s mission to unlock the ocean’s sustainable potential through science and education, while advancing ocean literacy and long-term stewardship.

The Rise of Hybrid Work in the Philippines Brings Home Cooking Back to the Table

PROVACUNO, the Agro-food Interprofessional Organization of the Spanish beef industry, under the framework of the European Union’s promotion program It’s Time for EU Beef, invites Filipino households to make the most of this new lifestyle with premium European beef

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 March 2026 – Hybrid work has become a permanent part of daily life in the Philippines, with recent surveys showing that a large majority of companies now operate under flexible or hybrid work models and that Filipino employees strongly prefer this setup over full-time office work. As commuting time is reduced, more people are spending additional hours at home, leading to a clear shift in daily routines — including how meals are prepared and shared. This new lifestyle is encouraging Filipino households to cook more often at home, plan meals in advance, and invest time in recipes that can be enjoyed together during the day, turning lunch breaks and evenings into shared moments around the table.

“It’s Time for Home Cooking in Philippines”
“It’s Time for Home Cooking in Philippines”

This shift toward home-based routines is encouraging families to choose ingredients that add quality and enjoyment to everyday cooking. European beef fits perfectly into this new rhythm, offering versatility for quick lunches, slow-cooked dinners, or special meals prepared between busy days.

In both European and Filipino cultures, food has always been about more than just eating — it is a moment to slow down, to pause the day, and to reconnect with the people around the table. In Europe, meals are a time to share stories, enjoy conversation, and appreciate food prepared with care. In the Philippines, food plays the same role: it brings families together, strengthens bonds, and turns simple moments into shared memories.

European beef from Spain reflects these shared traditions. Its quality and versatility invite home cooks to take a little more time, to enjoy the cooking process, and to create meals that encourage everyone to gather, even on busy workdays. Whether it’s a quiet lunch at home or a relaxed dinner after a long day, European beef helps transform ordinary routines into meaningful moments of connection.

Each dish you prepare becomes an opportunity to discover the quality, the care, and the value behind European beef, appreciated not only in its taste but also in how it is prepared, served, and enjoyed together.

European beef is available in supermarkets and restaurants across the Philippines, making it easy for families to enjoy premium quality as part of their new home-centered lifestyle. Filipino home cooks are invited to share their favorite European beef recipes, family dishes, and creative ideas on social media using #ItsTimeForEUBeef, and become part of a growing community that celebrates cooking, sharing, and connecting through food.

Because home is where great meals begin…, it´s time for European Beef

It’s Time for EU Beef: Strengthening Ties with the Philippines through a Successful 2025 and a Promising 2026

The European promotional campaign “It’s Time for EU Beef” has consolidated its presence in the Philippine market throughout 2025 and has kicked off 2026 with renewed momentum. Through trade missions, international exhibitions, exclusive showrooms, and high-level seminars, the campaign continues to position European beef from Spain as a premium product among Filipino importers, distributors, and foodservice professionals

2025: A Year of Strategic Promotion and Market Consolidation
Reverse Trade Mission to Spain

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 March 2026 – The year began with a landmark reverse trade mission welcoming Filipino importers and buyers from February 2025, under the banner “It’s Time For European Beef – Trade Mission for Importers and Buyers – The Philippines 2025.”

During one week, the delegation experienced firsthand the excellence of the European Production Model. The program included:

  • Visits to leading production facilities.
  • Farm visits to observe animal welfare standards and feeding systems based on high-quality cereals and oilseeds.
  • A comprehensive tour of Mercamadrid.
  • Seminars.
  • Dinners and tastings featuring premium European beef.

In April, the campaign returned to the Philippines for two intensive weeks of promotional activity in Cebu and Manila.

Cebu Showroom

During April, the campaign gather more than 60 Filipino importers, distributors, and HORECA professionals attended an exclusive showroom event in Cebu.

The session was opened by José Ramón Godoy, Coordinator of Internationalization at Provacuno, who highlighted the rapid growth of European beef exports to the Philippines. After that, guests enjoyed a live showcooking by Michelin-starred chef Kisko García, who presented three innovative recipes showcasing the tenderness, versatility and flavor of European beef.

WOFEX Visayas 2025

From April 24th to 26th, Provacuno participated in WOFEX Visayas 2025, the leading food exhibition in Southern Philippines.

The European delegation met key importers and distributors while offering tastings prepared by Chef Kisko García. The event strengthened brand visibility and allowed Filipino professionals to experience the quality standards that define European beef.

Manila: Embassy & KOL Engagement

The promotional tour continued in Manila with two high-impact events:

  • April 29: A KOL-focused showcooking at Enderun Colleges, engaging culinary influencers and opinion leaders.
  • April 30: A showroom for importers and distributors gathering leading Filipino meat import groups.

These actions further strengthened European beef’s premium positioning and institutional backing.

2026 Reverse Trade Mission: Deepening Strategic Partnerships with Seven Leading Filipino Importers

Following the strong results achieved in 2025, the “It’s Time for EU Beef” campaign began 2026 with a high-impact reverse trade mission from February 14–20, welcoming seven key Filipino importing companies representing different segments of the Philippine meat market — from large-scale importers and distributors to premium food service and gourmet operators.

This visit by various meat importers to farms, abattoirs and cutting plants across Europe has provided a first-hand insight into the workings of the European meat sector and its high quality standards. During these tours, participants were able to see for themselves how every stage of the production process is carefully monitored, from livestock rearing right through to final distribution. This European production model, recognised as the most rigorous in the world, guarantees traceability, animal welfare and food safety. Furthermore, these visits bolster the confidence of international markets by demonstrating compliance with strict regulations and sustainable practices. Taken together, initiatives of this kind help to consolidate the reputation of European beef as a safe, high-quality and globally competitive product.

The Philippine Market: A Strategic Destination

The growing demand for high-quality beef, in line with the European production model, continues to generate significant opportunities for long-term collaboration.

CK Life Sciences’ Sequencio Therapeutics Presents the Latest Vaccine Research Advancements at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 March 2026 – Sequencio Therapeutics Company Limited (“Sequencio”), a subsidiary of CK Life Sciences Int’l., (Holdings) Inc. (“CK Life Sciences”), today announced that five research abstracts will be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (“AACR”) Annual Meeting 2026, taking place 17–22 April 2026 in San Diego, USA.

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 AACR Annual Meeting is a gathering central to the global cancer research community, bringing together scientists, clinicians, other healthcare professionals, survivors, patients and advocates every year to share the latest breakthroughs and developments in cancer science and medicine. Last year, the 2025 Annual Meeting attracted 22,100 in-person participants from 85 countries.
