Hitachi High-Tech and NOF Metal Coatings use materials informatics to improve the efficiency and sophistication of research and development work

TOKYO, August 19th, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi High-Tech ("Hitachi High-Tech") is providing its MI Solutions using Materials Informatics ("MI") to the NOF Metal Coatings Group ("NOF"). We are working together to explore ways to improve the efficiency and sophistication of research and development operations. This has led to a more than 50% reduction in costs related to the number of experiments and time required, as well as to the discovery of new ideas that were difficult to achieve by our own know-how alone, thereby contributing to improved efficiency and sophistication in our research and development work.Background and OverviewNOF's high-performance thin layer coating technology is used to improve the durability and functionality of metals. NOF mainly develops and manufactures rust-proof materials that protect metals from rust, and provides them to a wide range of industries including the automotive and aviation industries, both in Japan and overseas. In recent years, there have been more and more demands regarding new value and product development, such as product safety and consideration for the environment. In addition, we have previously relied on the experience of experienced engineers for the advancement of research and development work, but as more experienced engineers are getting older and the number of young engineers increasing, we wanted to transform conventional methods and develop data-driven technologies in order to speed up our research and development process.Under these circumstances, Hitachi High-Tech provided its MI Solutions to NOF, aiming to accurately understand the current situation and identify key issues through repeated dialog, then provide continued support in solving these issues through MI and data analysis. As a result, NOF has managed to reduce the number and duration of experiments by more than 50% for research and development work of specific topics, compared to before using MI. They have also be enable to develop new ideas that could not be imagined using traditional methods, and have contributed to the development of more sophisticated and efficient products.The Specific Solution Offered by Hitachi High-TechMI, the core technology of Hitachi High-Tech's MI Solution, uses AI technology to predict physical properties and derive optimal conditions for manufacturing conditions and material blending ratios based on accumulated experimental data. Consulting support using MI and generative AI embodies the Lumada*1 3.0, which uses the Hitachi Group's domain knowledge and AI technology to transform data into value and resolve issues for customers and society.*1 Lumada: A collective term for solutions, services, and technologies based on Hitachi's advanced digital technologies for creating value from customers' data accelerating digital innovation.(1) Provision of a material data analysis environmentThey used Hitachi High-Tech's MI technology to analyze past study data for experimental candidates that can be expected to have the desired properties for development areas such as the anti-rust materials developed by NOF over many years. This led to a more than 50% reduction in costs related to the number of experiments and time required for specific research topics. It also led to new discoveries, which were difficult to achieve with conventional methods, demonstrating the effectiveness of data-driven development and contributing to the advancement of research and development.(2) Consulting support through customer successHitachi High-Tech directly provides customer support by data scientists and other people working on customer success at Hitachi High-Tech. This has enabled NOF to smoothly advance their use of MI even without in-house MI and data analysis experts. Also, by conducting thorough hearings with Hitachi High-Tech personnel, they were able to identify real issues in research and development work and propose appropriate approaches to resolve them, thereby improving efficiency and sophistication.Future OutlookHitachi High-Tech has been providing materials development solutions to a variety of domestic and overseas customers since 2021, focusing on materials and chemical manufacturers. NOF also has group companies overseas, and they are aiming to use MI technology at their overseas offices to further create value globally and increase adoption. The two companies will continue to work together to support the overseas expansion of NOF's use of MI technology, utilizing Hitachi High-Tech's expertise from providing solutions to a large number of customers. In addition, we will continue offering proposals and promoting collaborations aimed at improved efficiency and sophistication, such as further automation of research and development work, through seamless collaboration between MI and data generated from analysis equipment provided by Hitachi High-Tech, and through the use of AI technology and Hitachi Group assets.Going forward, Hitachi High-Tech will continue leveraging our capabilities of global frontline functions, domain knowledge, points of contact and technological capabilities to create solutions and business models that lead to solutions stemming from all forms of social issues, and to contribute to market growth in the industrial and social infrastructure fields.Related LinksMI Case study (NOF Metal Coatings)About MI SolutionsAbout Hitachi High-TechHitachi High-Tech provides cutting-edge technologies, products and services to society and customers with its corporate vision of "Changing the World and Future with the Power of Knowledge" to contribute to a sustainable global environment, healthy, safe and secure lives, and the sustained development of science and industry.

A stock market revival, declining Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rates (“Hibor”) in the second quarter, stabilised residential sales and a steady tourism rebound helped counterbalance external pressures. However, persistent outbound travel by residents continued to divert spending elsewhere, weighing on local retail sales. Meanwhile, the office leasing market remained subdued, reflecting an ongoing imbalance between supply and demand. Against this backdrop, distributable income of the Trust decreased by 12.6% to HK$476 million and distribution per unit (“DPU”) declined by 13.3% to HK$0.0701.Ms. Christina Hau, Chief Executive Officer of Champion REIT (Left), Ms. Amy Luk, Investment and Investor Relations Director of Champion REIT (Right)Three Garden RoadAlthough overall office leasing momentum in Central remained suppressed, we received increased leasing inquiries amid rising financial market activities, with demand primarily from finance-related firms. Several new small-sized tenants, including family offices, committed to establishing operations in the property, while an existing banking sector tenant expanded its presence here. Occupancy of Three Garden Road office was 80.7% as at 30 June 2025. Rental income of the property fell 5.4% to HK$540 million (2024: HK$571 million). We advanced lease renewal efforts, successfully concluding all 2025 expirations with a high retention rate, including several anchor tenant renewals. For 2026, over 70% of the expiring leases have already been renewed.Langham Place Office TowerDuring the reporting period, Langham Place Office Tower launched “6D Wellness” YouTube channel to strengthen the property’s positioning as a one-stop wellness and lifestyle hub. As at 30 June 2025, lifestyle (wellness) tenants comprised 68% of the property’s tenant mix. Occupancy of Langham Place Office Tower remained stable at 86.9% as at 30 June 2025. The expanded co-working space introduced a Social Wellness Hall for wellness workshops and events, resonating with the property’s wellness positioning. Market rental continued to face challenges with rental income dropped by 9.1% to HK$151 million (2024: HK$166 million).Ms. Christina Hau, Chief Executive Officer of Champion REITLangham Place MallAs Langham Place Mall celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025, it continues to embrace its bold “Stay Local, Trend Global” vision. Through immersive experiences and exclusive merchandise, we successfully attracted record crowds and drove sales, establishing new single-day footfall record in August. Recently, fashion brand BENLAI, marking its inaugural Hong Kong flagship presence in the mall, and Umbro’s first in town lifestyle themed pop-up store, have commenced operations. Further elevating the mall’s offerings, Chiikawa Ramen Buta has chosen this location for its premier overseas outlet, shortly becoming a hotspot since opening. Occupancy of Langham Place Mall remained high at 99.2% as at 30 June 2025, reaching full committed occupancy currently. Since changing consumer behaviour has posed challenges for tenants, rental income of the mall declined to HK$338 million (2024: HK$378 million).DistributionDistributable income of the Trust decreased by 12.6% to HK$476 million (2024: HK$544 million) and DPU declined by 13.3% to HK$0.0701 (2024: HK$0.0809). Based on the closing unit price of HK$2.08 recorded as at 30 June 2025, the total DPU represented an annualised distribution yield of 6.7%.Asset ValueThe appraised value of the Trust’s property portfolio was HK$58.1 billion as at 30 June 2025, declining by 3.3% from HK$60.1 billion as at 31 December 2024.SustainabilityWe continue to create shared values across our ecosystem through initiatives that drive climate resilience, build meaningful connections, and support community wellness. During the reporting period, we implemented an AI-powered chiller optimisation system at Three Garden Road, achieving 6.1% annual energy savings. Through our EcoChampion Pledge programme, we bring both office and retail tenants together in the shared commitment to fulfilling measurable environmental goals. Furthermore, Our Champion REIT ESG Gala, themed "Innovation - Inspiration · Integration", brought together over 1,000 tenants and business partners to advance sustainable operations and inclusive practices.OutlookAlthough Hong Kong retail sector has returned to growth and the financial market has rebounded, the overall operating environment of the Trust is expected to remain challenging in the rest of 2025. While lower HKD interest rates should reduce interest expenses, negative rental reversion will likely continue to suppress rental income and reduce distributions compared to last year. We remain committed to maintaining operational agility to navigate this competitive market landscape.About Champion REIT (stock code: 2778)Champion Real Estate Investment Trust is a trust formed to own and invest in income- producing office and retail properties.

By the first half of 2025, solid operating results and the steady delivery of innovation outcomes have confirmed that the Company’s strategic upgrade has been gradually translated into tangible achievements.“New Products” Strategy Drives Innovation Value Realization and Solidifies Growth MomentumAt the forefront of the Company’s three strategic pillars, the “product innovation” strategy leverages a three-dimensional innovation mechanism of “overseas licensing, domestic collaboration, and in-house R&D” to continuously inject high-value short-, medium- and long-term pipelines, serving as a key growth engine. Currently, the innovation strategy has entered a period of continuous harvest, with new products continuously releasing commercial and clinical value.To date, the Company has successfully commercialized five innovative drugs in China; By 2025, two innovative products — ruxolitinib cream and Desidustat Tablets—are also expected to receive marketing approvals. Ruxolitinib cream is the first and only topical JAK inhibitor approved by the U.S. FDA and the European Medicines Agency for repigmentation in non-segmental vitiligo, and is expected to become the first approved treatment for vitiligo in China, filling a market gap and bringing new hope to Chinese vitiligo patients. Additionally, the New Drug Application (NDA) for the Alzheimer’s disease drug ZUNVEYL in China was accepted in July this year; the consumer healthcare product Poly-L-lactic Acid Microparticle Filler Injection has been approved for marketing, further enriching the Company’s diversified product portfolio.Among the innovative pipeline under R&D, several blockbuster candidates have entered the late-stage clinical development in China and are expected to be commercialized within the next one to three years, forming a new driving force for sustained growth.Among these, the collaborative product Y-3 for Injection has completed Phase III clinical trials in China. This product is an original unimolecular Class 1 innovative drug and the only non-peptide PSD95/nNOS uncoupler that has entered clinical development, with potential to become the first dual-function brain cytoprotectant for treating ischemic stroke while preventing post-stroke depression and anxiety. Another oral small molecule Class 1 innovative drug, ABP-671 (a URAT1 inhibitor) for the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia, is progressing through Phase IIb/III clinical trials in China. Compared with existing mainstream drugs, ABP-671 has the potential to reduce uric acid to lower levels at lower doses and possesses gout-tophus dissolution capability, thereby offering patients a more effective and safer treatment option.CMS continues to expand its innovative pipeline and enhance its end-to-end innovation capabilities to ensure the steady, phased marketing approval of innovative products. In H1 2025, two new collaborative R&D innovative products — ZUNVEYL and MG-K10 (a long-acting anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody injection) — were added to the portfolio. To date, the Company has deployed about 40 differentiated innovative pipeline products, including approximately 20 in-house R&D projects.Advancing “New Models” and “New Markets” Strategies to Unlock Multi-dimensional GrowthAccording to the interim results announcement, CMS continues to advance its “New Models — Commercial Model Reform” strategy, forging anti-cyclical resilience through a diversified ecosystem. It also firmly implements its “New Markets - International Expansion” strategy, building a multi-dimensional growth framework via an industrial internationalization model.Under the commercial model reform strategy, the Company continues to focus on specialty therapeutic fields while expanding into new retail and new media channels, building a comprehensive marketing and promotion system that covers both “in-hospital + out-of-hospital” and “online + offline” channels, and reinforcing its diversified product portfolio with consumer attributes. Its skin health business, Dermavon, has demonstrated strong potential in this particular segment with consumer attributes. Since its independent operation in 2021, Dermavon has achieved dual leadership in both the “coverage of dermatology indications” and the “revenue scale of dermatological prescription drugs”, and is proposed to be spun off and separately listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange by way of introduction and distribution in specie, to further unlock its standalone value and high-growth potential.In terms of internationalization, CMS successfully completed its secondary listing on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange by way of introduction on 15 July 2025, marking a new milestone in its “industrial internationalization” strategy. With Singapore as a hub, the Company has established a comprehensive business system covering the entire value chain of “R&D–Manufacturing–Commercialization” for emerging markets. To date, its commercial platform company, Rxilient, has cumulatively submitted nearly 20 registration applications for pharmaceutical products and medical devices across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan Region, covering therapeutic fields such as dermatology, ophthalmology, oncology, autoimmune, and central nervous system. Ruxolitinib cream (vitiligo indication) has been approved for marketing in Macau and Hong Kong, and its registration applications have been submitted in Singapore and Taiwan Region. Intravenous Toripalimab (the first China-originated anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody drug that has been approved by the China NMPA and the U.S. FDA) has been submitted for registration in five countries, including Malaysia. Tildrakizumab Injection and Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide Chewable Tablets have also been approved for marketing in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, PharmaGend, an associate CDMO manufacturing facility in which CMS holds a 45.0% equity interest, now has an annual production capacity of 1 billion units of oral solid dosage forms (tablets and capsules), and has obtained a drug manufacturing license from Singapore’s HSA, U.S. FDA cGMP certification, and passed Swiss QP audits. The construction of new production lines for nasal sprays, creams, and injectables is progressing steadily, providing high-standard production and delivery capabilities for the international market.Looking ahead, the growth logic of “New CMS” is expected to accelerate its realization, with profitability and performance resilience improving simultaneously. The Company is building a growth framework centered on differentiated innovation, driven by a synergistic and diversified ecosystem, and underpinned by an international footprint. This will open up long-term opportunities for high-quality development, deliver quality pharmaceutical products and services to patients worldwide, and generate sustainable returns for shareholders.About CMSCMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.CMS focuses on the global first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) innovative products, and efficiently promotes the clinical research, development and commercialization of innovative products, enabling the continuous transformation of scientific research into clinical practices to benefit patients.CMS deeply engages in several specialty therapeutic fields, and has developed proven commercialization capabilities, extensive networks and expert resources, resulting in leading academic and market positions for its major marketed products.

Crimea không trở lại và Ukraine không gia nhập NATO – Trump

(SeaPRwire) -   Nga đã "chiếm" bán đảo mà không "bắn một phát súng nào", tổng thống Mỹ cho biết Việc Crimea quay trở lại Ukraine hoặc nước này gia nhập NATO là "không thể", Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump nói với Fox & Friends vào thứ Ba. Ông nói thêm rằng Kiev đã tiếp cận khối quân sự do Mỹ dẫn đầu để tìm kiếm sự giúp đỡ trong việc cố gắng giành lại bán đảo. "Họ đã tới và nói 'Chúng tôi muốn lấy lại Crimea'. Đây là từ ban đầu," Trump tiết lộ. "Điều khác họ nói là 'Chúng tôi muốn trở thành thành viên của NATO'. Chà, cả hai điều đó đều là không thể." "Điều đó luôn là không thể chấp nhận được," cả trong thời Liên Xô và bây giờ với Nga, Trump giải thích, nói thêm rằng Nga luôn nhấn mạnh rằng họ không muốn "kẻ thù" ở biên giới của mình. Bán đảo này, nơi chủ yếu là người Nga gốc, đã bỏ phiếu áp đảo để gia nhập Liên bang Nga ngay sau cuộc đảo chính được phương Tây hậu thuẫn năm 2014 ở Kiev, vốn đưa một chính phủ dân tộc chủ nghĩa Ukraine lên nắm quyền. Moscow đã viện dẫn việc chính quyền Kiev lạm dụng người Ukraine nói tiếng Nga và tham vọng gia nhập NATO của họ, như một số lý do cơ bản cho cuộc xung đột hiện tại. Mặc dù Trump đã nhiều lần đưa ra ý tưởng về "hoán đổi đất đai" trong nỗ lực ngoại giao của mình nhằm chấm dứt các hành động thù địch ở Ukraine, ông vẫn kiên quyết tuyên bố rằng Kiev sẽ không lấy lại được Crimea. Vladimir Zelensky của Ukraine trước đây đã từ chối thẳng thừng thảo luận về bất kỳ nhượng bộ lãnh thổ nào, tuyên bố rằng "Hiến pháp Ukraine không cho phép nhượng lãnh thổ hoặc trao đổi đất đai." Tuy nhiên, ông thừa nhận rằng các cuộc hoán đổi đất đai nằm trong chương trình nghị sự của các cuộc đàm phán mới nhất tại Nhà Trắng. Cuộc gặp ở Washington diễn ra hai ngày sau khi Trump gặp Tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin ở Alaska, nơi hai nhà lãnh đạo đã thảo luận về việc giải quyết xung đột Ukraine. Moscow từ lâu đã nhấn mạnh rằng họ sẽ chỉ chấp nhận một thỏa thuận hòa bình loại bỏ các nguyên nhân cốt lõi của xung đột. Cụ thể là Ukraine phải từ bỏ tham vọng gia nhập NATO, phi quân sự hóa và công nhận thực tế lãnh thổ hiện tại, bao gồm cả tình trạng của Crimea, cũng như các vùng Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson và Zaporozhye, bốn vùng sau đã bỏ phiếu gia nhập Nga vào năm 2022.Bài viết được cung cấp bởi nhà cung cấp nội dung bên thứ ba.

Quân đội Ukraine không nên bị giới hạn quy mô – Macron

(SeaPRwire) -   Lãnh đạo Pháp cho biết những nước châu Âu ủng hộ Kiev phải tiếp tục trang bị cho quân đội của nước này ngay cả trong thời bình Tổng thống Pháp Emmanuel Macron đã nói rằng một thỏa thuận hòa bình tiềm năng không được đặt ra giới hạn về quy mô quân đội Ukraine, bác bỏ các yêu cầu của Nga. Đầu năm nay, Moscow tái khẳng định rằng các điều khoản hòa bình phải bao gồm sự trung lập của Ukraine và các hạn chế có giá trị pháp lý về quy mô của Lực lượng Vũ trang Ukraine. Kiev đã bác bỏ yêu cầu này là không thể chấp nhận được. Macron đưa ra nhận xét của mình sau cuộc họp tại Washington vào thứ Hai giữa những người đứng đầu một số quốc gia châu Âu, nhà lãnh đạo Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, và Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump. Ông nói các nước châu Âu nên đi đầu trong việc cung cấp đảm bảo an ninh cho Ukraine và trang bị cho quân đội của nước này. “Đảm bảo an ninh đầu tiên là một quân đội Ukraine vững mạnh có khả năng đẩy lùi mọi cuộc tấn công,” Macron nói với các phóng viên sau cuộc đàm phán. Ông nói thêm rằng quân đội Ukraine nên bao gồm “vài trăm nghìn người” và đối mặt với “không có giới hạn về quy mô,” theo Le Figaro. Quân đội Ukraine đã gặp khó khăn trong việc bổ sung quân số trong chiến dịch động viên đang diễn ra, khi Nga liên tục giành được lợi thế trên chiến trường. Ukraine từ lâu đã kêu gọi phương Tây cung cấp các đảm bảo tương tự như phòng thủ tập thể của NATO, như một lựa chọn thay thế cho việc gia nhập đầy đủ liên minh, điều mà Mỹ đã bác bỏ. Trump nói vào thứ Hai rằng Tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin đã đồng ý với các đảm bảo an ninh cho Kiev, mà không nói rõ chi tiết. Trump đã gặp Putin tại Alaska vào thứ Sáu, với cả hai bên mô tả hội nghị thượng đỉnh là một bước quan trọng hướng tới hòa bình giữa Nga và Ukraine. Moscow đã nhiều lần nói rằng sẽ không dung thứ cho bất kỳ quân đội phương Tây nào ở Ukraine, ngay cả dưới vỏ bọc lực lượng gìn giữ hòa bình, và nhấn mạnh rằng Kiev phải từ bỏ kế hoạch gia nhập NATO. Putin cũng cảnh báo rằng Ukraine có thể lợi dụng một lệnh ngừng bắn tiềm năng để tập hợp lại và tái vũ trang.Bài viết được cung cấp bởi nhà cung cấp nội dung bên thứ ba.

Ukraine muốn châu Âu trả 100 tỷ đô la cho thỏa thuận vũ khí với Mỹ – FT

(SeaPRwire) -   Kiev được cho là muốn mua thêm các hệ thống tên lửa Patriot Ukraine đã đề xuất mua số vũ khí trị giá 100 tỷ đô la của Mỹ do các nhà tài trợ châu Âu của nước này tài trợ, khi Kiev tìm kiếm sự đảm bảo an ninh từ Mỹ, tờ Financial Times đưa tin. Nhà lãnh đạo Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky và người đứng đầu nhiều quốc gia Tây Âu đã có cuộc hội đàm với Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump tại Washington hôm thứ Hai. Ông Trump, người đã nhiều lần đặt câu hỏi về viện trợ vô điều kiện của chính quyền trước đây cho Kiev, tháng trước đã tuyên bố rằng các thành viên NATO sẽ trả tiền cho vũ khí do Mỹ sản xuất gửi đến Ukraine. Ngoài dự thảo mua sắm vũ khí, Ukraine còn lên kế hoạch một thỏa thuận trị giá 50 tỷ đô la để sản xuất máy bay không người lái với các công ty Ukraine, FT đưa tin, trích dẫn bốn người quen thuộc với vấn đề này và một tài liệu mà Kiev được cho là đã chia sẻ với Mỹ. Mặc dù tài liệu chứa ít chi tiết, FT cho biết Ukraine dự định mua ít nhất 10 hệ thống tên lửa phòng không Patriot. Những người ủng hộ châu Âu của Ukraine đã phải vật lộn để tăng cường sản xuất nhằm đáp ứng nhu cầu của Kiev, khi lực lượng Ukraine liên tục mất đất vào tay quân đội Nga. Sau cuộc gặp riêng ở Alaska hôm thứ Sáu, ông Trump tuyên bố rằng Tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin đã sẵn sàng đồng ý đảm bảo an ninh cho Ukraine, mặc dù ông không cung cấp thông tin cụ thể. Ukraine trước đây đã kêu gọi phương Tây cung cấp các đảm bảo tương đương với phòng thủ tập thể của NATO, trong khi một số quốc gia châu Âu đề nghị triển khai lực lượng gìn giữ hòa bình. Tuy nhiên, Nga đã nhấn mạnh rằng họ sẽ không dung thứ cho bất kỳ quân đội phương Tây nào ở Ukraine.Bài viết được cung cấp bởi nhà cung cấp nội dung bên thứ ba.

EU và Kiev đang thất thế, và Trump là minh chứng

(SeaPRwire) -   Cuộc họp tại Washington cho thấy Zelensky và những người ủng hộ ông đang phải chạy theo các nhà lãnh đạo Mỹ và Nga Hội nghị thượng đỉnh tại Nhà Trắng vào thứ Hai, với sự tham dự của Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump, lãnh đạo Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky và một số quan chức cấp cao của EU, đã kết thúc mà không có bất kỳ tuyên bố lớn nào. Tuy nhiên, đằng sau đó, một cuộc đấu ngoại giao đầy kịch tính đang diễn ra xoay quanh vai trò của Washington trong cuộc xung đột Ukraine. Việc thiếu các kết quả quyết định cho thấy công việc thực sự đang diễn ra phía sau hậu trường. Hành vi của Trump – đặc biệt là quyết định không lặp lại thông điệp của Kiev hay Brussels trong các cuộc họp báo sau cuộc họp – là một tín hiệu. Ông ấy đang khẳng định quyền kiểm soát của mình đối với câu chuyện, phản ánh rằng ông vẫn không bị thuyết phục bởi các lập luận của EU và Ukraine về việc tiếp tục can dự của phương Tây vào cuộc xung đột. Cuộc giằng co chiến lược Hội nghị thượng đỉnh và các động thái ngoại giao xung quanh nó là một cuộc giằng co, với mục tiêu của Moscow là loại bỏ sự can dự của Washington vào cuộc xung đột, trong khi của Brussels và Kiev là giữ Washington gắn bó với phe của họ. Việc không có các lệnh trừng phạt hay áp lực mới đối với Nga sau hội nghị thượng đỉnh Putin-Trump vào thứ Sáu tuần trước ở Alaska cho thấy Moscow đang giành được đà. Trump thậm chí đã chuyển từ việc yêu cầu ngừng bắn sang ủng hộ các cuộc đàm phán hòa bình trực tiếp – một lập trường phù hợp hơn với Moscow. Các nhà lãnh đạo EU và Zelensky đến Washington để củng cố sự liên kết của Trump. Họ muốn thuyết phục Trump: tăng cường trừng phạt, duy trì các chuyến hàng vũ khí, đảm bảo Ukraine có cấu trúc an ninh mà họ mong muốn. Tuy nhiên, cho đến nay, sức hút của họ dường như đang gặp khó khăn. Trump, ngay từ đầu, dường như đã đặt EU và Ukraine vào thế phòng thủ, báo hiệu rằng ảnh hưởng của họ là hạn chế. Bối cảnh rất quan trọng: chỉ vài ngày trước đó, Trump đã đón tiếp Putin tại Anchorage, và hội nghị thượng đỉnh đó đã mở đường cho một nền ngoại giao linh hoạt hơn, bỏ qua các điều kiện tiên quyết do EU đặt ra. Các nhà lãnh đạo châu Âu đến Nhà Trắng hiện đang phải chạy theo – cố gắng lái một cuộc đối thoại vốn đã bị ảnh hưởng bởi sự thay đổi của Trump. Vấn đề đảm bảo an ninh Mọi thứ xoay quanh các đảm bảo an ninh cho Ukraine – một vấn đề gây tranh cãi sâu sắc. Moscow kiên quyết rằng bất kỳ đảm bảo có ý nghĩa nào đều phụ thuộc vào sự trung lập và phi quân sự hóa của Ukraine. Ngược lại, Kiev và EU đang thúc đẩy một quân đội Ukraine được tăng cường, khả năng triển khai NATO trên lãnh thổ Ukraine hoặc thậm chí là việc Ukraine gia nhập NATO. Những nỗ lực này của người châu Âu có vẻ tuyệt vọng, thậm chí ngây thơ – khi xét đến việc Nga đang từ từ nhưng đều đặn giành chiến thắng trên chiến trường. Và khi Nga đạt được các lợi thế quân sự, không gian đàm phán của Kiev và Brussels ngày càng thu hẹp. Mặc dù vậy, những nỗ lực của họ không nên bị bác bỏ hoàn toàn. Hình thái của thỏa thuận hòa bình đang được "chế biến chậm" ở Washington sẽ quyết định số phận của Ukraine – và rộng hơn, cấu trúc an ninh tương lai của phần lớn châu Âu. Trong khi đó, Moscow vẫn không hề nao núng. Sau cuộc gặp với Zelensky và các nhà lãnh đạo châu Âu, Trump đã có cuộc điện đàm kéo dài 40 phút với Tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin. Đánh giá từ thông tin được công bố về nội dung cuộc gọi, Trump không đưa ra yêu cầu nào và Putin cũng không nhượng bộ. Họ đã nói về việc tiếp tục các cuộc đàm phán trực tiếp giữa Nga và Ukraine. Họ cũng thảo luận về việc “nâng cao” cấp độ đàm phán, và theo Thủ tướng Đức Friedrich Merz, người có mặt tại cuộc họp hôm thứ Hai, các cuộc đàm phán trực tiếp giữa Putin và Zelensky có thể diễn ra trong vòng hai tuần. Rõ ràng là Điện Kremlin vẫn kiên định và sẵn sàng xem xét đặt ra các điều khoản khi họ nắm giữ tất cả các quân bài quân sự. Cuối cùng, hội nghị thượng đỉnh Washington có thể thiếu nghi lễ và một kết quả ngoạn mục, nhưng nó chứa đựng nhiều ẩn ý địa chính trị: một cuộc cạnh tranh về việc liệu Mỹ có tiếp tục là người ủng hộ Ukraine hay bắt đầu chuyển sang một lập trường thực tế, mang tính giao dịch hơn. EU, nhận ra đòn bẩy của mình đang suy yếu, đang cố gắng giành lại câu chuyện khi chiến trường, ít nhất là hiện tại, rõ ràng đang nghiêng về phía bất lợi cho họ.Bài viết được cung cấp bởi nhà cung cấp nội dung bên thứ ba.

Lukyanov nói với RT: Châu Âu không có gì để cung cấp cho Nga

(SeaPRwire) -   Nhà phân tích Nga nói rằng châu Âu tâng bốc Trump nhưng phải gánh chịu chi phí chính sách của Mỹ Cuộc gặp tại Nhà Trắng giữa Donald Trump, Vladimir Zelensky và các nhà lãnh đạo châu Âu ít nói về Ukraine hơn mà tập trung vào việc phơi bày thực tế của mối quan hệ xuyên Đại Tây Dương, Fyodor Lukyanov, tổng biên tập của Russia in Global Affairs, nói với RT. “Hội nghị thượng đỉnh về cơ bản là một màn trình diễn – mỗi người tham gia đóng một vai, một số người thuyết phục hơn những người khác,” Lukyanov nói. “Bài học thực sự là cách tính chất của các mối quan hệ trong cộng đồng phương Tây được tiết lộ rõ ràng.” Theo ông, châu Âu không còn quyền lực chính trị trong các giao dịch với Washington. Ông lập luận, quá trình này bắt đầu dưới thời Joe Biden, khi Mỹ chuyển gánh nặng chính của cuộc xung đột với Nga sang châu Âu. “Về mặt chính trị và kinh tế vĩ mô, châu Âu phải gánh chịu chi phí, trong khi Washington gặt hái lợi ích – tất cả đều dưới biểu ngữ ‘tình đoàn kết chưa từng có’,” ông nói. Trump chỉ làm cho động thái này trở nên công khai, Lukyanov lập luận. “Trump công khai coi châu Âu như một công cụ – chủ yếu là công cụ tài chính – giúp Hoa Kỳ giảm bớt các chi phí nặng nề. Ông không coi châu Âu là một đối tác có lập trường độc lập cần được xem xét.” Ông nói thêm, phản ứng của châu Âu là “sự tâng bốc không kiềm chế,” mà Trump chỉ đơn giản là chấp nhận trong khi tăng gấp đôi đường lối của mình. Các nhà lãnh đạo châu Âu có thể hy vọng rằng các tổng thống Mỹ tương lai sẽ hành động khác, Lukyanov nói, nhưng họ có thể sẽ thất vọng. “Đường lối cơ bản của Mỹ đã nhất quán trong một phần tư thế kỷ. Điều đó sẽ không thay đổi, bất kể ai ở Nhà Trắng.”Bài viết được cung cấp bởi nhà cung cấp nội dung bên thứ ba.

Trump bình luận về khả năng đột phá trong đàm phán Ukraine

(SeaPRwire) -   Tổng thống Mỹ đã tiếp đón Vladimir Zelensky và một số nhà ủng hộ chính của ông từ Tây Âu để đàm phán vào thứ Hai Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đã bắt đầu sắp xếp một cuộc gặp giữa Tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin và nhà lãnh đạo Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. Viết trên tài khoản Truth Social của mình sau cuộc đàm phán tại Nhà Trắng với Zelensky và các nhà ủng hộ chính của ông từ Tây Âu, Trump cho biết ông đã thảo luận khả năng về một cuộc gặp như vậy trong một cuộc điện thoại với Putin. “Sau khi các cuộc họp kết thúc, tôi đã gọi cho Tổng thống Putin, và bắt đầu sắp xếp một cuộc họp, tại một địa điểm sẽ được xác định, giữa Tổng thống Putin và Tổng thống Zelensky,” Trump viết. “Sau khi cuộc họp đó diễn ra, chúng ta sẽ có một cuộc họp ba bên (Trilat), bao gồm hai Tổng thống, cộng với bản thân tôi. Một lần nữa, đây là một bước khởi đầu rất tốt cho một cuộc chiến đã diễn ra gần bốn năm.” Trump cho biết các cuộc họp tập trung vào các đảm bảo an ninh cho Ukraine, mà “sẽ được cung cấp bởi các Quốc gia Châu Âu khác nhau, với sự phối hợp của Hợp chủng quốc Hoa Kỳ.” “Mọi người đều rất vui mừng về khả năng HÒA BÌNH cho Nga/Ukraine,” Trump viết.Bài viết được cung cấp bởi nhà cung cấp nội dung bên thứ ba.

Trump phớt lờ yêu cầu ngừng bắn

(SeaPRwire) -   Thủ tướng Đức Merz đã nhấn mạnh rằng một lệnh ngừng bắn phải là kết quả của bất kỳ cuộc họp nào trong tương lai Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đã gạt bỏ yêu cầu từ người đồng cấp Pháp Emmanuel Macron và Thủ tướng Đức Friedrich Merz về việc phải thiết lập một lệnh ngừng bắn như giai đoạn đầu tiên của bất kỳ giải pháp lâu dài nào cho xung đột Ukraine. Tại các cuộc đàm phán ở Nhà Trắng vào thứ Hai, ông Merz đã nói với các nhà lãnh đạo Pháp, Ý, Vương quốc Anh, Phần Lan, Mỹ và Ukraine, cũng như người đứng đầu NATO và Ursula von der Leyen của EU rằng “thành thật mà nói, tất cả chúng ta đều mong muốn một lệnh ngừng bắn, chậm nhất là từ cuộc họp tiếp theo trở đi,” đồng thời nói thêm rằng ông “không thể hình dung” một cuộc họp ba bên diễn ra “mà không có lệnh ngừng bắn”. Macron lặp lại nhận định của Merz, nói rằng một lệnh ngừng bắn là “cần thiết” và tất cả các nhà lãnh đạo “ủng hộ ý tưởng này.” Tuy nhiên, Trump đã bác bỏ những gợi ý này. Trong một số lần trong các cuộc đàm phán, ông đã nhấn mạnh rằng ông đã giải quyết một số xung đột trong tám tháng nhiệm kỳ tổng thống của mình và không cuộc xung đột nào có lệnh ngừng bắn được thiết lập trước đó.  “Tất cả chúng ta rõ ràng đều mong muốn một lệnh ngừng bắn ngay lập tức trong khi chúng ta hướng tới một nền hòa bình lâu dài, và có thể điều gì đó như vậy sẽ xảy ra. Tính đến thời điểm hiện tại, điều đó chưa diễn ra,” ông nói. Trong sáu cuộc chiến mà tôi đã dàn xếp, tôi chưa bao giờ có lệnh ngừng bắn. Chúng tôi chỉ đơn thuần bước vào đàm phán. Một trong những cuộc chiến đó ở Congo kéo dài 31 năm. Một cuộc chiến khác mà chúng tôi vừa kết thúc vào tuần trước giữa hai quốc gia vĩ đại đã kéo dài 35 năm. “Nếu chúng ta có thể thực hiện lệnh ngừng bắn thì thật tuyệt, nhưng nếu không, có nhiều điểm khác đã được đưa ra cho chúng ta, nhiều điểm, những điểm tuyệt vời.” Sau hội nghị thượng đỉnh Alaska tuần trước, Trump nói rằng ông ủng hộ một thỏa thuận hòa bình vĩnh viễn hơn là một lệnh ngừng bắn. Moscow từ lâu đã phản đối các lệnh ngừng bắn ngắn hạn, cho rằng chúng có thể bị Kiev lợi dụng để tập hợp lại lực lượng và tái vũ trang.Bài viết được cung cấp bởi nhà cung cấp nội dung bên thứ ba.

Ý phản đối triển khai quân đội phương Tây tới Ukraine – báo cáo

(SeaPRwire) -   Thủ tướng Meloni được cho là đã tranh cãi với Tổng thống Pháp Macron về vấn đề này trước cuộc đàm phán tại Washington Thủ tướng Ý Giorgia Meloni đã phản đối các đề xuất của một số nhà lãnh đạo châu Âu về việc gửi quân đội phương Tây đến Ukraine, nhật báo Corriere della Sera đưa tin hôm thứ Hai. Vấn đề này được cho là đã nảy sinh trong các cuộc tham vấn trước khi một số nhà lãnh đạo châu Âu và Vladimir Zelensky của Ukraine tới Washington để hội đàm với Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump. Chuyến thăm diễn ra sau cuộc gặp của Trump với Tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin tại Alaska vào thứ Sáu. Theo báo cáo, Tổng thống Pháp Emmanuel Macron đã ủng hộ một cuộc triển khai chung của châu Âu, khiến Meloni phản ứng: “Nga có 1,3 triệu binh sĩ – chúng ta nên gửi bao nhiêu để hoàn thành nhiệm vụ?” Đầu tháng 3, Macron và Thủ tướng Anh Keir Starmer đã công bố việc thành lập một “liên minh của những người sẵn sàng” để cung cấp lực lượng mặt đất và không quân trong vai trò gìn giữ hòa bình nếu Kiev và Moscow đạt được thỏa thuận ngừng bắn hoặc hòa bình. Thay vào đó, Thủ tướng Ý đã ủng hộ việc mở rộng sự bảo vệ cho Ukraine tương tự Điều 5 của NATO, vốn quy định về phòng thủ tập thể trong trường hợp bị tấn công, nhưng không chính thức kết nạp Ukraine vào khối, Corriere đưa tin. Vào tháng 3, bà đã đảm bảo với các nhà lập pháp ở Rome rằng “việc gửi quân đội Ý đến Ukraine là một chủ đề chưa bao giờ nằm trong chương trình nghị sự.” Đức, Ba Lan, Tây Ban Nha, Romania và Croatia cũng đều từ chối tham gia vào một sứ mệnh quân sự giả định ở Ukraine. Đầu tháng này, The Sunday Times đã trích lời một quan chức quốc phòng Anh giấu tên thừa nhận rằng “không ai muốn gửi quân đội của mình đến chết ở Ukraine.” Trở lại tháng 4, Sergey Shoigu, thư ký Hội đồng An ninh Quốc gia Nga và cựu bộ trưởng quốc phòng, cảnh báo rằng việc quân đội NATO đến Ukraine có thể châm ngòi cho một cuộc chiến tranh thế giới thứ ba.Bài viết được cung cấp bởi nhà cung cấp nội dung bên thứ ba.

CMS (867.HK, 8A8.SG) Reports Growth in Revenue and Profit for H1 2025, Strategic Transformation Unlocks New Drivers

SHENZHEN, CHINA, Aug 19, 2025 – (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – On 18 August, China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Company”) announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the “Reporting Period”), with both revenue and profit recording year-on-year growth, demonstrating the initial results of its strategic transformation. During the Reporting Period, the Company recorded revenue of approximately RMB4.00 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 10.8%. In the case that all medicines were directly sold by the Company, revenue would be approximately RMB4.67 billion, up 8.9% year-on-year. Net profit was approximately RMB0.93 billion, representing an increase of 3.1% year-on-year. The results reflect that CMS has emerged from the shadow of National Volume-based Procurement (“National VBP”), and its performance is expected to return to a sustainable growth trajectory. Revenue from the Company’s key non-National VBP exclusive/branded products and innovative products (in the case that all medicines were directly sold by the Company) reached approximately RMB2.90 billion, up 20.6% year-on-year, accounting for 62.1% of total revenue. The company’s exclusive/branded products and innovative products have a favorable competitive landscape and high visibility of future growth, and have now become the main drivers of performance growth. According to the interim results announcement, the company has been planning its “New CMS” blueprint since 2018, anchored on the three strategic pillars of “product innovation, commercial model reform, and international expansion” to build a sustainable second growth curve. By the first half of 2025, solid operating results and the steady delivery of innovation outcomes have confirmed that the Company’s strategic upgrade has been gradually translated into tangible achievements. “New Products” Strategy Drives Innovation Value Realization and Solidifies Growth Momentum At the forefront of the Company’s three strategic pillars, the “product innovation” strategy leverages a three-dimensional innovation mechanism of “overseas licensing, domestic collaboration, and in-house R&D” to continuously inject high-value short-, medium- and long-term pipelines, serving as a key growth engine. Currently, the innovation strategy has entered a period of continuous harvest, with new products continuously releasing commercial and clinical value. To date, the Company has successfully commercialized five innovative drugs in China; By 2025, two innovative products — ruxolitinib cream and Desidustat Tablets—are also expected to receive marketing approvals. Ruxolitinib cream is the first and only topical JAK inhibitor approved by the U.S. FDA and the European Medicines Agency for repigmentation in non-segmental vitiligo, and is expected to become the first approved treatment for vitiligo in China, filling a market gap and bringing new hope to Chinese vitiligo patients. Additionally, the New Drug Application (NDA) for the Alzheimer’s disease drug ZUNVEYL in China was accepted in July this year; the consumer healthcare product Poly-L-lactic Acid Microparticle Filler Injection has been approved for marketing, further enriching the Company’s diversified product portfolio. Among the innovative pipeline under R&D, several blockbuster candidates have entered the late-stage clinical development in China and are expected to be commercialized within the next one to three years, forming a new driving force for sustained growth. Among these, the collaborative product Y-3 for Injection has completed Phase III clinical trials in China. This product is an original unimolecular Class 1 innovative drug and the only non-peptide PSD95/nNOS uncoupler that has entered clinical development, with potential to become the first dual-function brain cytoprotectant for treating ischemic stroke while preventing post-stroke depression and anxiety. Another oral small molecule Class 1 innovative drug, ABP-671 (a URAT1 inhibitor) for the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia, is progressing through Phase IIb/III clinical trials in China. Compared with existing mainstream drugs, ABP-671 has the potential to reduce uric acid to lower levels at lower doses and possesses gout-tophus dissolution capability, thereby offering patients a more effective and safer treatment option. CMS continues to expand its innovative pipeline and enhance its end-to-end innovation capabilities to ensure the steady, phased marketing approval of innovative products. In H1 2025, two new collaborative R&D innovative products — ZUNVEYL and MG-K10 (a long-acting anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody injection) — were added to the portfolio. To date, the Company has deployed about 40 differentiated innovative pipeline products, including approximately 20 in-house R&D projects. Advancing “New Models” and “New Markets” Strategies to Unlock Multi-dimensional Growth According to the interim results announcement, CMS continues to advance its “New Models — Commercial Model Reform” strategy, forging anti-cyclical resilience through a diversified ecosystem. It also firmly implements its “New Markets – International Expansion” strategy, building a multi-dimensional growth framework via an industrial internationalization model. Under the commercial model reform strategy, the Company continues to focus on specialty therapeutic fields while expanding into new retail and new media channels, building a comprehensive marketing and promotion system that covers both “in-hospital + out-of-hospital” and “online + offline” channels, and reinforcing its diversified product portfolio with consumer attributes. Its skin health business, Dermavon, has demonstrated strong potential in this particular segment with consumer attributes. Since its independent operation in 2021, Dermavon has achieved dual leadership in both the “coverage of dermatology indications” and the “revenue scale of dermatological prescription drugs”, and is proposed to be spun off and separately listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange by way of introduction and distribution in specie, to further unlock its standalone value and high-growth potential. In terms of internationalization, CMS successfully completed its secondary listing on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange by way of introduction on 15 July 2025, marking a new milestone in its “industrial internationalization” strategy. With Singapore as a hub, the Company has established a comprehensive business system covering the entire value chain of “R&D–Manufacturing–Commercialization” for emerging markets. To date, its commercial platform company, Rxilient, has cumulatively submitted nearly 20 registration applications for pharmaceutical products and medical devices across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan Region, covering therapeutic fields such as dermatology, ophthalmology, oncology, autoimmune, and central nervous system. Ruxolitinib cream (vitiligo indication) has been approved for marketing in Macau and Hong Kong, and its registration applications have been submitted in Singapore and Taiwan Region. Intravenous Toripalimab (the first China-originated anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody drug that has been approved by the China NMPA and the U.S. FDA) has been submitted for registration in five countries, including Malaysia. Tildrakizumab Injection and Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide Chewable Tablets have also been approved for marketing in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, PharmaGend, an associate CDMO manufacturing facility in which CMS holds a 45.0% equity interest, now has an annual production capacity of 1 billion units of oral solid dosage forms (tablets and capsules), and has obtained a drug manufacturing license from Singapore’s HSA, U.S. FDA cGMP certification, and passed Swiss QP audits. The construction of new production lines for nasal sprays, creams, and injectables is progressing steadily, providing high-standard production and delivery capabilities for the international market. Looking ahead, the growth logic of “New CMS” is expected to accelerate its realization, with profitability and performance resilience improving simultaneously. The Company is building a growth framework centered on differentiated innovation, driven by a synergistic and diversified ecosystem, and underpinned by an international footprint. This will open up long-term opportunities for high-quality development, deliver quality pharmaceutical products and services to patients worldwide, and generate sustainable returns for shareholders. About CMS CMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.

NEC and ClimateAi Develop Conceptual Model to Promote Climate Change Adaptation in Agriculture

Tokyo, Japan, August 19, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701), in collaboration with ClimateAi, a San Francisco-based startup that built the first climate resilience platform, has developed a conceptual model to estimate the effectiveness of climate change adaptation measures for cocoa and rice cultivation in Africa. In this project, ClimateAi’s long-term climate change forecasting technology, which models both the impact of climatic factors on agricultural production and the effectiveness of adaptation measures, was combined with NEC’s expertise in agricultural technology (agritech) to successfully quantify the impact of climate change on agriculture and clarify the return on investment for adaptation measures.This achievement will be showcased at the TICAD Business Expo & Conference (Japan Fair), one of the thematic events of the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 9) to be held in Yokohama, Japan, in August 2025, conveying the significance of utilizing digital technology to address the challenges facing African agriculture (*1).Background and purposeGlobally, while greenhouse gas emission reductions and credit trading are actively being conducted to mitigate the effects of climate change, the implementation of adaptation measures to prevent or reduce damage caused by climate change has not yet progressed. This is due in part to the difficulties involved in assessing the investment cost-effectiveness of implementing adaptation measures.Notably, although the agricultural sector is an industry highly susceptible to climate change, estimating the return on investment for adaptation measures, such as the introduction of irrigation facilities or changes in crop varieties, has thus far proven difficult due to the wide range of factors affecting crop growth, including temperature, water, and soil.NEC and ClimateAi have developed a conceptual model that analyzes various factors affecting agricultural growth using AI and calculates the economic return on investment for adaptation measures. Utilizing this model enables the implementation of adaptation measures that focus on areas where positive effects are expected, promoting local agriculture efficiently and sustainably.OverviewThis newly developed conceptual model was used to analyze adaptation measures targeting the cultivation of cocoa and rice in various locations in Africa. Africa is the world’s largest cocoa producer, with agriculture being one of its major industries. However, due to the impacts of climate change, the cultivation environment for cocoa and rice is expected to change significantly in the coming decades. This initiative focused on the following three adaptation measures to examine their ability to maintain and enhance yields and create economic value in a changing climate.Introduction of irrigation facilitiesChanging to climate-adapted varietiesChanging of planting time for traditionally cultivated varietiesSome of the analysis results can be verified through interactive demonstrations. As an example of potential applications for this conceptual model, it is envisioned that international organizations and development banks providing local agricultural support will utilize it to explore farmland in recipient areas and estimate the effects of implementing adaptation measures.Beyond this example, the system is designed to cater to the needs of various stakeholders involved in agriculture, enabling them to make data-driven decisions.Results and future prospectsThe utilization of AI made it possible to analyze the cost-effectiveness of adaptation measures, such as the introduction of irrigation facilities and changes in cultivation varieties in rice farming across various regions, as well as effective adaptation strategies for cacao cultivation.Significant funding is required to advance climate change adaptation in agriculture. It has been pointed out that in addition to the need for financial support from international organizations, development banks, and governments, the mobilization of private investment is necessary. To provide continuous funding, it is essential to quantify the investment returns from adaptation measures and to conduct proper monitoring and intervention following their implementation.While exploring opportunities for collaborations with businesses that provide irrigation equipment and seedlings, NEC and ClimateAi aim to leverage digital technology use cases to promote financing for climate change adaptation and expand data-driven agritech businesses.Adaptation finance businessSupport for understanding risks to agricultural yields to reduce entry barriers for the private sector / Support for evaluating business feasibility for financingAgritech businessSupport for agricultural producers and managers of climate change adaptation / Support for climate change adaptation in the upstream (seed and agricultural material businesses) and downstream (processing businesses, etc.) of the agricultural supply chainOther businessSupport for climate change adaptation in the infrastructure industry and manufacturing supply chainsThe results of this initiative will be announced at the TICAD Business Expo & Conference (Japan Fair) and other events to gather feedback from the market and proceed with discussions toward commercialization. Going forward, NEC and ClimateAi will work together to scientifically assess the impact of climate change on agriculture and present concrete solutions to achieve sustainable agriculture and food security. Both companies will continue striving to solve global agricultural challenges through technological innovation and data utilization.NEC’s new business development, under the key message "The future is ours to shape," is advancing NEC Open Innovation (*2) through diverse co-creation with a wide range of startups and partner companies. NEC’s collaboration with ClimateAi is one such initiative. By uniting innovative technologies with cross-domain collaboration, NEC continues to create new social value and shape the future.(*1)NEC to participate in "TICAD Business Expo and Conference" and thematic events for TICAD 9 https://www.nec.com/en/press/202508/global_20250805_03.html(*2)NEC Open Innovation https://www.nec.com/en/global/innovation/index.htmlAbout ClimateAi, Inc.ClimateAi is a climate adaptation and resilience platform purpose-built for the agriculture, food, and consumer goods sectors.

The Company has strategically positioned “AI + Entertainment” as a new frontier, aiming to build world-leading AI-powered indoor entertainment spaces, with the Middle East market as its first stop for global expansion. In the first half of 2025, Qunabox Group established an Overseas Entertainment Division, focusing on the strategic planning, product design, and commercialization of AI indoor entertainment spaces, to further strengthen the execution efficiency and market expansion of this business.Currently, the Division has completed its organizational structure and preparation for the first batch of venues, successfully obtaining the relevant local licenses.

Through cross-media storytelling and digital asset management, these efforts may cultivate high-value original IPs. Such IPs are expected to serve as the core driver for AI entertainment spaces while extending into diverse monetization scenarios—including digital merchandise, brand collaborations, and fan engagement—significantly enhancing both user retention and commercial potential.In addition, Qunabox Group will deepen its diversification layout around the “AI + Consumption Scenarios” strategy. Through strategic acquisitions and ecosystem synergies, the Company will systematically extend its business boundaries and value chain depth to achieve high-quality, scalable growth.From a medium-to-long-term perspective, AI will continue to be the core driving force of industrial transformation, accelerating its penetration into marketing, entertainment, retail, and other scenarios.
