HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 March 2026 – The Government announced that the Wealth for Good in Hong Kong (WGHK) Summit will return next Tuesday (March 24). Under the theme “Building Lasting Legacies”, this year’s summit in its fourth edition highlights the wave brought by continuous growth of family office assets and generational wealth transition in recent years. In addition to serving as an exchange platform for overseas, Mainland and local family office decision-makers and successors, the WGHK Summit is also an occasion for them to experience firsthand how Hong Kong leverages its solid financial foundation to facilitate wealth succession and value appreciation.
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

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.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 March 2026 – PFIS Group, a Swiss-rooted wealth structuring advisory firm, today announced a comprehensive rebranding to Alpina Legacy. This strategic transformation marks a significant milestone in the firm’s history, aligning its corporate identity with its profound Swiss heritage and its core mission of safeguarding cross-generational wealth.
Mr. Samy Reeb, CEO of Alpina Legacy
Refining our Identity After Years of Strategic Growth
Since its inception, PFIS Group has undergone an extraordinary journey of expansion. What began as a specialised boutique advisory practice in cross-border insurance has evolved into a formidable international platform. Today, the firm operates 8 offices worldwide, holds intermediation licenses in 34 countries, and has successfully advised on the structuring and restructuring of over USD 1 billion in private wealth.
“After years of rapid international expansion and hundreds of complex client engagements, we realised that our identity needed to catch up with our evolution,” said Mr. Samy Reeb, CEO of Alpina Legacy. “This rebranding comes at a pivotal moment. After establishing a robust global footprint, we are returning to our roots—not by shrinking our horizons, but by deepening the Swiss values that have always been the bedrock of our success.”
A Name that Bridges Heritage and Future
The new name, Alpina Legacy, was meticulously chosen to reflect the dual pillars of the firm’s value proposition:
Alpina: A tribute to the firm’s Swiss foundation. It symbolises the precision, discretion, and unwavering regulatory discipline associated with the Swiss financial tradition. In an increasingly volatile global landscape, “Alpina” represents the stability and rigour that the firm’s institutional partners and clients rely upon.
Legacy: Defines the firm’s ultimate purpose. It underscores a commitment to helping internationally mobile families, entrepreneurs, and investors protect and transmit their wealth across jurisdictions and generations through compliant, sophisticated insurance solutions.
Strengthening Partnerships and Roots
The transition to Alpina Legacy also reinforces the firm’s commitment to its global network of private banks, asset managers, and institutional partners.
“Our business partners are the lifeblood of our operation. By rebranding to Alpina Legacy, we are signalling our long-term commitment to the standards they expect from a Swiss-rooted firm,” added Samy Reeb. “As we look back on our years in operation, we recognise that our growth was only possible because we remained close to our roots while remaining agile in the face of complex regulatory environments.”
A New Chapter in Wealth Structuring
While the name and visual identity have changed, Alpina Legacy’s dedication to excellence remains constant. The firm will continue to provide bespoke cross-border planning and international insurance solutions, ensuring that the wealth created today becomes the enduring legacy of tomorrow.

Jobsdb by SEEK hosts “The Hong Kong HR Awards 2025/26” celebrating industry excellence
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 March 2026 – Mr Grant Wright, Group Executive, Artificial Intelligence at SEEK, the parent company of Jobsdb, spoke at the “Global Talent Summit Week – Hong Kong’s International Talent Forum” on 18 March 2026, organised by the Labour and Welfare Bureau and Hong Kong Talent Engage. At the panel titled “Thriving in a dynamic talent landscape – Sustaining skills and fostering resilience”, Mr Wright addressed the challenge of increasing noise in the recruitment market and outlined how SEEK is leveraging its responsible AI framework and automated verification tools to help employers identify authentic talent signals.
Mr Grant Wright, Group Executive, Artificial Intelligence at SEEK, the parent company of Jobsdb, spoke at the “Global Talent Summit Week – Hong Kong’s International Talent Forum” on 18 March 2026
Building trust with Responsible AI and verification
At the forum, Mr Wright described the current global talent landscape as increasingly noisy with the rise of AI agents and the use of large language models in the recruitment process making it harder to assess candidates fit and motivation without the right tools.
“In a world where AI allows every candidate to put their best foot forward, traditional signals like the CV and cover letter tell us less than they used to,” said Mr Wright. “Simply applying for a role is no longer necessarily a signal of motivation or suitability. In this noisier AI environment, marketplaces play a critical role to connect interested and high-fit candidates and hirers faster, and to add more trust to the process.
SEEK established a dedicated Responsible AI team in 2017 to address fairness and bias in AI-driven matching. Mr Wright outlined the company’s core principles for ensuring technology empowers rather than excludes.
“AI makes predictions, which means by definition it can be wrong. We must consider the impact of those predictions on individuals,” Mr Wright added.
“Humans can be biased in recruitment, and we need to recognise that exists in the system and in the data we train on. Our responsible AI team and processes aim to ensure AI improves outcomes for everyone and creates opportunity.”
SEEK has invested in AI to improve customer experiences for over a decade, building one of Asia Pacific’s most established AI teams. Beyond making job hunting and hiring simpler, SEEK is focused on using AI to add trust and efficiency into our marketplace. This proprietary technology powers every stage of the hiring process:
Enhanced targeting for high-fit candidates: SEEK identifies which candidates are a high fit for a role. This allows us to predict a candidate’s likelihood of being shortlisted for any given job ad. High-fit candidates are three times more likely to be shortlisted.
Enhanced Efficiencyand Search Experience: Features like AI-assisted ad writing help employers create compelling job descriptions, while AI-powered analytics provide real-time insights to optimise ad performance. At the same time, candidates can use natural, everyday language to describe what they’re looking for, and personalised search models match them to the most relevant roles.
Responsible AI and Trust: SEEK’s dedicated Responsible AI framework focuses on fairness, transparency and bias mitigation in AI‑driven matching. To combat market friction and build confidence, SEEK has also introduced automated verified credentials, reducing verification times from days to seconds, increasing hirer trust in the integrity of matches and helping candidates stand out.
Voice AI Refence Checks: SEEK also leverages natural language AI to transform the reference checking experience. SEEK’s voice AI assistant allows referees to complete checks through natural conversation with SEEK’s Voice AI service. This cuts completion time for hirers in half, from 24 to 12 minutes, while capturing more data than traditional reference checking methods.
When asked about his vision for Hong Kong’s workforce over the next five years, Mr Wright highlighted that while Hong Kong has always been exceptional at attracting talent, the automation of entry-level tasks could pose a risk to traditional learning curves.
“I would like to see Hong Kong focus on the development problem for the future workforce,” said Mr Wright. “If you take away entry-level jobs, you remove the safe space for newcomers to ‘fail fast’ and learn how an organisation works. That would be a real challenge, and I hope to see Hong Kong find a solution to bridge this gap for the betterment of organisations and future talent.”
Celebrating excellence in HR
The dialogue on the future of work continued later that day as Jobsdb celebrated industry excellence at ‘The Hong Kong HR Awards 2025/26’. With the theme ‘Empowering Talent and Technology Towards Tomorrow’, the awards recognised 70 companies, for their excellence in talent acquisition and management strategies. The ceremony was attended by approximately 450 guests, witnessing the industry’s achievements in integrating technology with talent development.
Mr Bill Lee, Managing Director, Hong Kong, Jobsdb by SEEK, stated, “Now in its fifth year, The Hong Kong HR Awards are once again dedicated to celebrating the exceptional organisations and visionary individuals who are reshaping the future of people strategy in Hong Kong. This year’s winners demonstrate how forward‑thinking employers are transforming talent attraction, development and engagement through the smart use of data and technology. We are also proud to introduce the inaugural SEEK APAC Employer of the Year Award, recognising excellence across our Asia markets plus Chinese Mainland and reinforcing Hong Kong’s role as a hub for talent in Asia Pacific. At Jobsdb, we are committed to providing the tools and insights to help the local workforce navigate this transformation and unlock new possibilities for growth.”

香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年3月20日 – Jobsdb 母公司 SEEK 集團執行官（人工智能） Grant Wright 於3月18日受邀出席由勞工及福利局與香港人才服務辦公室主辦的「全球人才高峰會周」國際人才論壇。在「在變化中領先：技能發展與人才續航」的專題討論環節，Grant Wright探討了招聘市場日益嚴重的「雜訊（Noise）」挑戰，並解釋 SEEK 如何透過「負責任 AI（Responsible AI）」框架及自動化驗證工具，協助僱主識別出真正的潛在合適人才。
Jobsdb 母公司 SEEK 集團執行官（人工智能） Grant Wright 於3月18日受邀出席由勞工及福利局與香港人才服務辦公室主辦的「全球人才高峰會周」國際人才論壇。
以「負責任 AI」及驗證技術重建信任
Grant Wright 形容，隨著 AI 代理（AI agents）興起以及招聘流程應用AI 大模型，全球人才市場的「雜訊」問題越趨嚴重，若缺乏合適工具，評估求職者的合適度與意向將變得更加困難。
Wright 表示：「在AI時代，每位求職者都能展現完美一面，履歷表和求職信等傳統方式能提供的資訊已不如以往。單憑『遞交工作申請』已未必能反映求職者的真實意向或是否合適。在這個 AI 雜訊日漸增加的環境下，招聘平台扮演著關鍵角色，能更快速地連繫有意向且高度合適的求職者與僱主，並為整個招聘過程增添信任。」
SEEK 早於 2017 年成立專責的「負責任 AI」團隊，致力解決 AI 配對中的公平性與偏見問題。Wright 表示，公司的核心原則是確保科技能為招聘過程中，賦能於人而非將人排除在外。
Wright 指出：「 AI 會作出預測，意味有機會出錯，我們必須考慮這些預測對求職者的影響。人類在招聘過程中可能帶有偏見，我們需要正視這一點存在於系統及訓練AI的數據。而我們的負責任 AI團隊及流程，則旨在確保 AI 能改善各方成效並創造機遇。」
專有 AI 技術推動精準配對
為提升用戶體驗，SEEK 在 AI 領域投資越十年，並建立了亞太區最成熟的 AI 團隊之一。除了簡化求職與招聘流程，SEEK 更致力通過 AI 為平台提升信任與效率。這些獨家AI技術已應用於招聘流程的每個階段：
延續對未來職場發展的探討，Jobsdb 同日舉辦了「The Hong Kong HR Award 2025/26」以表揚業界卓越成就。今屆獎項以「賦能人才與科技 邁向未來」（Empowering Talent and Technology Towards Tomorrow）為主題，表揚 70 間公司在人才招聘及管理策略上的傑出表現。是次頒獎典禮有近 450 位嘉賓出席，共同見證業界在應用科技與人才發展方面的成就。
Jobsdb by SEEK 香港區總經理李政勳表示：「踏入第五屆，Hong Kong HR Award繼續致力表揚那些正在重塑香港人才策略未來的傑出機構與具遠見的領袖。今年的得獎者展示了具前瞻思維的僱主如何透過善用數據與科技，革新吸引人才、發展及互動的方式。我們亦很榮幸推出首屆『SEEK APAC Employer of the Year Award』，以嘉許在亞洲市場及中國內地表現卓越的企業，並鞏固香港作為亞太區人才樞紐的角色。Jobsdb 將繼續致力提供工具與洞見，協助本地勞動力應對轉型，解鎖更多成長機遇。」
BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 March 2026 – China’s multifaceted strategy to end the tuberculosis epidemic—ranging from high-tech local innovations to global humanitarian missions—is providing a new blueprint for international public health. CGTN published an article analyzing how this integrated prevention model, highlighted by Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping and also the WHO goodwill ambassador for tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS, leverages AI-driven screening in provinces like Jiangsu and the expertise of Chinese medical teams abroad to transform the vision of a TB-free world into a tangible reality.
In a written statement to a virtual event commemorating the World Health Organization (WHO) World Tuberculosis Day 2026 on Wednesday, Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping and also the WHO goodwill ambassador for tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS, called for international support and participation in global TB prevention and treatment.
Peng said that the event’s theme, “Led by countries, powered by people,” is of great significance for facilitating joint international action against TB as a public health challenge.
Peng noted that with a firm commitment to protecting people’s health and the goal of ending the TB epidemic, the WHO has done a great deal of effective work and reversed the recent upward trend in global cases. She highlighted that China’s progress is rooted in a multi-sectoral approach, leveraging technological innovation and a comprehensive healthcare network serving over 1.4 billion people.
This year also marks the 15th year of China’s large-scale volunteer campaign for TB prevention and control, involving over 1 million volunteers who have carried out over 80,000 programs.
“I have been joining many of them on visits to local neighborhoods, schools and healthcare facilities,” Peng said, adding that she is a “proud witness” to their compassion and the progress made in China’s fight against TB. She called on people from all walks of life to share warmth and care to “build a community of health for all.”
A proven model for incidence decline
China’s progress is exemplified by the practical efforts in Jiangsu Province, where the reported TB incidence rate fell to 21.17 per 100,000 in 2025. A key factor in this progress is a smart screening system that brings advanced technology to the grassroots level.
“In the past, we had to review every single record manually. Now, AI-assisted screening has drastically improved our diagnostic efficiency,” Wang Yangzhu, deputy chief physician of radiology at a community health center in Nanjing’s Jiangning District, told China Media Group (CMG).
Beyond AI-assisted diagnostics, which now cover over 100 medical institutions in the province, Jiangsu has pioneered a new short-course treatment that slashes the recovery period for drug-resistant TB from 18 months to just six. Complementing this technology is a robust policy safety net: the government provides free drug-resistance screening for all suspected cases and free second-line medications for those in need, ensuring patients can afford the care they require.
This localized practice is a reflection of a broader national achievement. Since 2012, both the incidence and mortality rates of TB in China have dropped by approximately 30%, a decline rate nearly double the global average, according to the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration. With a treatment rate consistently above 90%, China has transitioned into the ranks of countries with moderate-to-low TB prevalence while continuing to refine its integrated prevention and control system.
Global responsibility and humanitarian action
China’s expertise is also being shared through its commitment to international medical aid. Recently, the 23rd Chinese medical team in Zimbabwe successfully treated a 22-year-old patient suffering from TB with pleural effusion. By combining standard protocols with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to alleviate side effects and boost immunity, the team provided a practical model for TB control in resource-limited settings.
This assistance is part of a long-standing commitment to international humanitarian aid. In 2025, the Chinese government dispatched 1,061 medical personnel to 57 countries, serving over 2.06 million patients, according to China’s National Health Commission.
Since 1963, China has sent a total of 31,000 medical team members to 77 countries and regions, treating an estimated 300 million people. These teams have also helped strengthen local medical capacity, including performing first-of-their-kind laparoscopic procedures in countries such as Equatorial Guinea and Djibouti, enabling access to modern minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Extending their reach beyond hospital walls, Chinese medical teams frequently travel to remote, resource-scarce regions to provide essential care. In Simandou, the team provided health check-ups, hygiene training and medical lectures to thousands of Chinese and Guinean employees. They also visited a local orphanage, performing physical exams for over 70 children and donating essential school supplies.
“We go deep into remote areas, bringing much-needed health knowledge and infectious disease prevention methods to help establish a long-term barrier against illness,” Wang Bin, captain of the 31st Chinese medical team to Guinea, told CMG.
By integrating innovative technology with grassroots volunteerism and international aid, China continues to work alongside the global community to transform the goal of a TB-free world into a tangible reality.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 March 2026 – Chuangxin Industries Holdings Limited (Chuangxin Industries, 02788.HK), a dominant leader in China’s fully integrated aluminum value chain, announced a stellar financial performance for the fiscal year 2025 this week. Despite a complex global macroeconomic environment, the company reported revenue of RMB 18.68 billion, representing a robust 23.2% year-on-year increase. Profit attributable to owners of the company surged by an impressive 32.8% to RMB 2.731 billion. Basic earnings per share rose to RMB 1.75 from RMB 1.37 in 2024. In a move that underscores its strong balance sheet and commitment to shareholder returns, the Board has proposed a final dividend of HK$ 0.77 per share.
The global aluminum landscape in 2025 was defined by extreme volatility in London Metal Exchange (LME) prices and escalating energy costs across traditional smelting hubs. Chuangxin Industries showcased notable resilience, underpinned by its fully integrated electrolytic aluminum industrial chain. The company’s revenue was anchored by its core electrolytic aluminum business, which contributed RMB13.62 billion (72.92% of total), while alumina and related products added RMB4.42 billion.
Central to Chuangxin Industries’ outperformance is its 100% self-sufficiency in alumina and power, the twin pillars of its strategic “cost moat.” This vertically integrated footprint is anchored by a 788.1 kt/a electrolytic aluminum smelter and a dedicated captive power plant in Huolinguole, Inner Mongolia, complemented by a 1.2 million t/a alumina refinery in Binzhou, Shandong, which is strategically positioned near import ports. This tightly coordinated infrastructure allows the Group to exert precision control over core input costs. Consequently, the Group ranks as a top-tier cost leader in China, possessing a structural advantage that serves as both a defensive shield during commodity downcycles and a powerful lever for earnings elasticity during market recoveries.
The Chuangxin Industries’ March 9 entry into the Hong Kong Stock Connect opens the door to mainland investors. Expected Southbound liquidity should enhance market depth and catalyze a valuation recovery. Analysts view its structural cost moat and green manufacturing leadership as a compelling, cash-flow-resilient proposition for long-term investors navigating today’s high-interest-rate environment.
Looking ahead, Chuangxin Industries is focusing on green growth and global expansion.
Domestically, Chuangxin Industries is rapidly building 1,750 MW of wind and solar capacity in Inner Mongolia, aiming to source over 50% of its power from renewable sources by the end of 2026, reducing both carbon emissions and long-term energy costs.
Internationally, Chuangxin Industries’ planned 500 kt/a aluminum smelting facility in Saudi Arabia will leverage Saudi Arabia’s competitive energy costs and port logistics to serve regional demand and diversify its production base beyond China. By establishing a footprint abroad, Chuangxin Industries is hedging against geopolitical barriers while enhancing its global edge through competitive energy costs in the Middle East.
Chuangxin Industries is cementing its status as a world-class green aluminum leader. Its synergy of integrated efficiency and global expansion offers investors a resilient, sustainable play at the heart of the sector’s high-growth future. Hashtag: #ChuangxinIndustries
