SINGAPORE, Mar 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Travelling overseas is exciting, but foreign exchange (FX) fees can quietly add up and increase your overall trip expenses. Many Singaporeans are now exploring smarter ways to manage overseas spending, and a multi-currency debit card can help reduce unnecessary FX charges while shopping, dining, and booking activities abroad. Whether you are heading to Japan, Australia, Europe, or the US, understanding how FX fees work can help you stretch your Singapore dollars further. Even a 3% fee on a SGD 5,000 trip translates to SGD 150, which could easily cover a nice meal or attraction tickets.When spending overseas, banks typically apply a currency conversion spread and may also charge overseas transaction fees ranging between 2.5% and 3.5%. On top of that, dynamic currency conversion at merchants can add another 4-8% markup. These layered charges might not be obvious at checkout, but they can significantly increase your travel budget.With a bit of planning and the right payment tools, Singaporeans can minimise these costs and enjoy more transparent spending abroad.Understanding Where FX Fees Come FromBefore looking at solutions, it helps to understand how FX fees are structured. Most traditional credit and debit cards issued in Singapore apply a foreign transaction fee when you pay in a currency other than SGD. This fee usually combines the card network's conversion rate and an additional bank administrative charge.For example, if you spend the equivalent of SGD 1,000 in Bangkok or Seoul, a 3% fee adds around SGD 30 to your statement. Over a 10-day trip with shopping and dining expenses of SGD 4,000, total FX charges could reach SGD 120 or more. These amounts may seem small per transaction but can accumulate quickly across hotels, theme parks, transport passes, and shopping malls.How a Multi-Currency Debit Card Can HelpA multi-currency debit card allows users to hold and spend multiple foreign currencies directly from one account. Instead of converting SGD at the point of sale for every purchase, you can preload currencies such as USD, EUR, JPY, or AUD in advance. This setup can help reduce conversion fees and give you more control over exchange rates.For instance, if you are travelling to Japan and expect to spend the equivalent of SGD 3,000, you can convert SGD to JPY when rates are favourable before departure. If the exchange rate improves even by 1%, that difference could mean savings of around SGD 30 on your total spend.Many multi-currency debit cards also offer competitive interbank or near-interbank rates with low or zero foreign transaction fees. While terms vary by provider, this structure may result in lower overall costs compared to traditional cards. Additionally, you can track balances in different currencies via mobile apps, which helps you manage budgets more clearly during travel.Practical Ways Singaporeans Can Reduce FX ChargesBeyond choosing the right card, several practical habits can help minimise FX fees while shopping overseas.Pay in the local currency whenever possibleWhen a payment terminal offers the option to pay in SGD or the local currency, selecting the local currency can help you avoid dynamic currency conversion markups. Merchants may apply rates that are 4-8% higher than market rates when you choose SGD. On a SGD 2,000 shopping bill in Seoul, that difference could translate to an extra SGD 80 or more. Paying in the local currency often results in a more transparent rate from your bank or card provider.Plan large purchases in advanceIf you are considering buying luxury goods in Europe or electronics in Japan, estimating your total spend beforehand can help you prepare accordingly. Planning major purchases can also help you avoid last-minute conversions at less competitive airport rates.Avoid exchanging large sums at airportsAirport money changers often offer less competitive exchange rates compared to city money changers in Singapore or digital FX platforms. The difference might range from 1% to 3%. On SGD 2,000 exchanged at the airport, this gap could mean paying SGD 20 to SGD 60 more than necessary. Using a multi-currency debit card for most transactions can reduce the need to carry large amounts of cash.Monitor overseas ATM withdrawal feesWithdrawing cash overseas may involve both local ATM fees and your bank's overseas withdrawal charges. These combined costs can range between SGD 5 and SGD 15 per withdrawal, excluding FX spreads. Planning fewer, slightly larger withdrawals, or relying more on card payments, can help reduce repeated charges. Some multi-currency debit cards may offer more competitive ATM withdrawal terms, depending on the provider.Comparing Travel Spending OptionsCredit cards may offer travel rewards but often carry foreign transaction fees of around 3%. Using cash helps you to do away with card fees but requires you to exchange money upfront, sometimes at less competitive rates.A multi-currency debit card sits somewhere in between, combining digital convenience with potentially lower FX costs, while offering more flexibility. For frequent travellers visiting destinations like Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Australia, or the US several times a year, this flexibility can make budgeting more predictable.Avoiding FX fees does not require complex strategies. Small adjustments in how you pay, when you convert currency, and which card you use can collectively reduce costs. While exchange rates fluctuate and fees vary across providers, informed decisions can help you minimise hidden charges and make the best of your overseas trips.Disclaimer: This article is for general information only and does not have any regard to the specific investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs of any specific person.

香港, 2026年3月23日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 人形机器人赛道再迎里程碑事件。3月20日,上交所官网显示,宇树科技股份有限公司科创板IPO申请已获受理,融资金额42.02亿元,审核状态为"已受理"。这意味着宇树科技正式向"A股人形机器人第一股"发起冲刺,也标志着具身智能产业开始从主题催化迈向资本化兑现的新阶段。从公开披露看,宇树科技此次IPO并非单纯的概念升温,而是建立在业绩高增长与产能扩张预期之上。根据公司招股说明书透露,公司2025年实现营业收入17.08亿元,同比增长335.36%;扣非后净利润超过6亿元,同比增长674.29%;公开发行新股不低于4044.64万股,占发行后总股本比例不低于10%。对资本市场而言,宇树科技最重要的意义,是开始提供一个更清晰的人形机器人估值参照系。公开报道显示,宇树科技在2025年初的估值约为50亿元,到2025年6月已提升至约120亿元;而本次招股书对应的初始发行后市值至少420亿元,意味着其公开市场估值门槛较2025年中期的一级市场口径又出现大幅跃升。对于资本市场而言,宇树科技的上市进程则是释放出一个清晰信号:人形机器人不再只是"技术想象力"的故事,而开始进入"收入、利润、产能、融资"四线并进的新阶段。对产业链而言,这将提升市场对整条赛道估值锚的清晰度;对已提前布局头部机器人的资本平台而言,则意味着账面价值、退出预期与业务协同空间都有望同步抬升。在这一轮受益标的中,首程控股(0697.HK)的稀缺性尤为突出。公司在官方披露中明确表示,已通过北京机器人产业发展投资基金及旗下产业基金,投资宇树科技、银河通用、星海图、松延动力等多家头部企业;到2025年前三季度,其管理的多支产业基金又进一步完成了对宇树科技、云深处、加速进化、微分智飞、泉智博等核心机器人产业链公司的投资,覆盖人形机器人、飞行机器人及上游关键环节。换言之,首程控股并非单点押注,而是在"头部本体企业+上游关键环节+区域基金网络"上形成了组合式布局。更关键的是,首程控股的优势不只在"投",还在"投后赋能"。公司2025年中报和三季报均提到,其正围绕"资金+场景+产业链"推进"投资+运营+生态"一体化路径,并已设立北京首程机器人科技产业有限公司、首程机器人先进材料产业有限公司,拓展销售代理、租赁、咨询、供应链管理及上游材料延伸。同时,公司在首钢园、北京首都国际机场T3、成都春熙路等场景布局常态化机器人体验店和快闪店,推动机器人产品从展示走向商业落地。对于宇树科技这类具备量产能力的明星企业而言,这种场景资源意味着更低的试错成本和更快的商业验证速度。这也是首程控股被市场视为宇树概念股的核心原因:它不是单纯二级市场"映射",而是兼具资本纽带、应用场景和产业服务能力的生态型平台。一旦宇树科技IPO顺利推进,首先受益的是首程控股机器人投资组合的市场认可度。头部项目登陆资本市场后,外部投资者会更容易对首程控股存量未上市机器人资产进行对标估值。市场人士分析,从估值逻辑上看,宇树科技IPO对首程控股至少构成三重利好。其一,首程控股的投资收益兑现预期抬升。首程控股通过北京机器人产业基金持有宇树科技3.8262%股份,位列发行前前十大股东之一。考虑新股发行稀释后,这部分旧股对应的发行后持股比例约为3.44%。按420亿元发行后市值假设测算,这一部分股权价值约为14.46亿元;若对应500亿元、600亿元上市后市值,则股权价值约分别为17.22亿元和20.66亿元,这对比首程控股的净资产体量,具有显著的边际贡献,并将对首程控股现有估值体系形成边际支撑。其二,是平台型估值中枢提升。首程控股并非传统意义上的单一财务投资者。公司主业一方面是基础设施资产业务,另一方面是以基金和产业平台切入机器人、智能制造等新赛道。机器人赛道的公开市场估值锚形成后,首程控股整个机器人投资组合有望被整体重估。其三,是机器人生态商业化提速带来的第二成长曲线。过去市场给机器人概念股估值,往往停留在"参股收益"层面;但首程控股正在尝试把机器人变成真实运营业务。公司披露已在线下体验店、机场场景、文旅园区和智能停车等多个场景推进机器人落地,并与产业方合作推动"机器人+汽车"等新业态。若宇树科技IPO后品牌效应和融资能力进一步增强,首程控股有望从"投中受益"扩展到"运营分成、渠道服务、场景服务、供应链协同"的多元受益。届时,市场看待首程控股的框架,将会从"宇树概念股"升级为"机器人生态基础设施平台"。此外,首程控股的财务结构也为估值修复提供了安全边际。公司2024年归母溢利为4.10亿港元,2024年末本公司拥有人应占股本及储备为94.21亿港元,负债资本比率从2024年末的15.9%下降至2025年三季度的10.9%。公司就2024年度合共宣派末期股息及特别派息8.88亿港元,叠加中期股息2.08亿港元,全年派息总额10.96亿港元,超出当年归母溢利的200%。较强的分红意愿、较低杠杆与持续盈利能力,使其在"成长+收益"两端都更容易获得资金青睐。总体来看,宇树科技IPO正式推上进程,是2026年具身智能产业最重要的资本事件之一。它不仅提高了头部机器人企业的资本化确定性,也为首程控股这样的生态型平台打开了价值重估窗口。随着"明星项目上市—投资收益兑现—产业场景扩容—平台估值提升"逻辑逐步展开,首程控股有望成为本轮机器人行情中兼具安全边际与弹性的核心受益者之一。 Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Mar 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) -The humanoid robotics sector has reached another milestone. On 20 March, the Shanghai Stock Exchange confirmed that Unitree Robotics Co., Ltd. (operating entity: Hangzhou Yushu Technology Co., Ltd.) has received formal acceptance of its STAR Market IPO application, targeting proceeds of RMB 4.202 billion, with review status recorded as "Accepted". This marks Unitree Robotics' official push to become China's first A-share listed humanoid robot company, and signals that the embodied-intelligence industry is transitioning from a theme-driven narrative phase into a new stage of genuine capital-markets realisation.From publicly disclosed information, this IPO is not purely a concept re-rating event — it rests on a foundation of strong earnings growth and capacity expansion. According to the company's prospectus, Unitree Robotics generated revenue of RMB 1.708 billion in 2025, up 335.36% year-on-year; non-GAAP net profit exceeded RMB 600 million, up 674.29% year-on-year. The public offering involves a minimum of 40,446,434 new shares, representing at least 10% of the total post-IPO share count.For the capital markets, the most important contribution of Unitree Robotics is that it begins to provide a clearer public-market valuation reference for the humanoid-robotics sector. Reports indicate that Unitree's valuation stood at approximately RMB 5 billion in early 2025, rising to approximately RMB 12 billion by June 2025. The prospectus implies an initial post-IPO market capitalisation of at least RMB 42 billion — a dramatic leap from the mid-2025 private-market benchmark. For the capital markets, Unitree's listing trajectory carries a clear signal: humanoid robotics is no longer purely a story of "technological imagination" — it is entering a new phase of revenue, profit, capacity, and capital advancing on all four fronts simultaneously. For the supply chain, this raises the clarity of the sector's valuation anchor; for capital platforms that have invested early in leading robotics companies, it means book values, exit expectations, and business synergies all have room to rise in tandem.Among the beneficiary candidates in this cycle, Shoucheng Holdings Limited (HKEX: 0697.HK) stands out for its rarity value. The company has publicly confirmed that, through the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund and its affiliated sub-funds, it has invested in Unitree Robotics, Galbot (Beijing Galaxy General Robot Co., Ltd.; X Square Robot , Noetix Robotics, and other leading enterprises. By Q3 2025, the multiple funds it manages had further completed investments in Unitree Robotics, DEEP Robotics / Hangzhou DEEP Robotics Co., Ltd.), Booster Robotics, Differential Robotics / Differential Robotics Technology Inc.), Wuxi Quanzhibo Technology Co., Ltd., and other core robotics supply-chain companies — covering humanoid robots, aerial robots, and critical upstream components. In short, Shoucheng Holdings is not a single-bet position, but a portfolio-style deployment spanning "leading robot OEMs + upstream critical components + regional fund networks."Crucially, Shoucheng Holdings' edge lies not only in "investing" but also in "post-investment value creation." Both the company's 2025 interim report and Q3 report highlight that it is advancing an integrated "Invest + Operate + Ecosystem" pathway centred on "capital + scenarios + supply chain." It has established Shoucheng Robot Technology Industry Co., Ltd. and Shoucheng Robot Advanced Materials Industry Co., Ltd., expanding into sales agency, leasing, consultancy, supply-chain management, and upstream materials. Simultaneously, the company has deployed permanent robot experience stores and pop-up stores at Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport Terminal 3, and Chengdu Chunxi Road, accelerating the transition of robot products from showcase to commercial deployment. For high-volume producers like Unitree Robotics, these venue resources translate into lower trial-and-error costs and faster commercial validation cycles.This is also the core reason why the market treats Shoucheng Holdings as a premier Unitree Robotics proxy: it is not a simple secondary-market "reflection" play, but an ecosystem-type platform that combines capital linkages, application venues, and industrial service capabilities. Once Unitree Robotics' IPO advances smoothly, the first beneficiary will be the market recognition of Shoucheng Holdings' existing robotics investment portfolio. With a marquee portfolio company achieving public listing, external investors will find it far easier to mark-to-market the unlisted robotics assets still held by Shoucheng Holdings.Market analysts observe that, from a valuation standpoint, the Unitree Robotics IPO represents at least three distinct positive catalysts for Shoucheng Holdings.First, the anticipated realisation of investment returns has been significantly enhanced. Shoucheng Holdings holds 3.8262% of Unitree Robotics through the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund, placing it among the top ten pre-IPO shareholders. After accounting for dilution from the new share issuance, the post-IPO stake corresponds to approximately 3.44%. Based on an assumed post-IPO market capitalisation of RMB 42 billion, this stake implies a value of approximately RMB 1.446 billion; at market caps of RMB 50 billion and RMB 60 billion, the implied values are approximately RMB 1.722 billion and RMB 2.066 billion respectively. Against the scale of Shoucheng Holdings' net asset base, these figures represent a material incremental contribution and will provide meaningful support to the company's existing valuation framework.Second, the platform-level valuation midpoint has scope to re-rate upward. Shoucheng Holdings is not a traditional single-strategy financial investor. Its core business encompasses infrastructure asset operations on one side, and entry into robotics and intelligent manufacturing through funds and an industrial platform on the other. Once the robotics sector has an established public-market valuation anchor, Shoucheng Holdings' entire robotics investment portfolio stands to be re-valued in aggregate.Third, the acceleration of robotics ecosystem commercialisation opens a genuine second growth curve. In the past, the market valued robotics concept stocks largely at the level of "equity participation income." But Shoucheng Holdings is actively working to transform robotics into a real operating business. The company has disclosed that it is advancing robot deployment across multiple scenarios — offline experience stores, airport environments, cultural-tourism parks, and smart car parks — and is collaborating with industry partners to develop new business formats such as "robotics + automotive." Should Unitree Robotics' brand recognition and fundraising capacity strengthen further post-IPO, Shoucheng Holdings could expand beyond "investment gains" to capture diversified value streams including operating profit-sharing, channel services, scenario services, and supply-chain coordination. At that point, the market's analytical framework for Shoucheng Holdings would graduate from "Unitree Robotics proxy" to "robotics ecosystem infrastructure platform."In addition, Shoucheng Holdings' financial structure provides a robust margin of safety for any valuation recovery. The company reported profit attributable to shareholders of HKD 410 million in 2024. Equity attributable to owners of the company stood at HKD 9.421 billion at end-2024. The gearing ratio declined from 15.9% at end-2024 to 10.9% by Q3 2025. In respect of the 2024 financial year, the company declared final dividend and special dividend totalling HKD 888 million, and together with the interim dividend of HKD 208 million, full-year distributions reached HKD 1.096 billion — exceeding 200% of the year's attributable profit. This combination of strong dividend commitment, low financial leverage, and sustained earnings power positions the stock favourably for capital flows seeking both "growth" and "income" attributes simultaneously.Taken as a whole, the formal advancement of the Unitree Robotics IPO process represents one of the most consequential capital-markets events of 2026 for the embodied-intelligence industry. It not only raises the capital-markets certainty for leading robotics companies, but also opens a valuation re-rating window for ecosystem-type platforms like Shoucheng Holdings Limited. As the logic of "flagship project listing → investment return realisation → industrial scenario expansion → platform valuation uplift" progressively unfolds, Shoucheng Holdings is well-positioned to emerge as one of the core beneficiaries of this robotics market cycle — a company that simultaneously offers a meaningful margin of safety and meaningful upside optionality.

香港, 2026年3月20日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 北京同仁堂医养投资股份有限公司(以下简称"同仁堂医养")在资本市场的聚光灯下宣布进行全球发售,中金公司担任独家保荐人,将于3月30日开始挂牌交易。根据公告内容,本次全球发售的H股总数为108,153,500股。其中,香港公开发售股分为10,815,500股,国际发售股分为97,338,000股,两者均可予重新分配。此次冲刺意味着这个中药老字号正通过资本纽带,将自身沉淀了三百多年的品牌理念和中医医养延伸进更多场景和地区。走向港股市场后,同仁堂集团将补齐"制药-零售-医养"大健康生态圈的最后一块拼图。在万亿级中医医疗服务赛道中,这个357年的金字招牌究竟值多少?厚积薄发:中医医疗服务的领跑者同仁堂作为中国为数不多的拥有三百多年品牌历史的民族企业,这块金字招牌自2019年开始大步进军中医医疗服务赛道,致力于将传统中医药精髓与现代医疗管理服务相结合。作为同仁堂集团唯一战略性聚焦于中医医疗服务的子公司,同仁堂医养结合"医疗"与"养生",通过标准化的连锁经营以及现代化的管理系统,提供一站式定制化中医医疗服务,综合覆盖全场景中医诊疗需求,成为便捷可及的中医健康专家。招股书显示,同仁堂医养的门诊服务收入在中国非公立中医院医疗服务行业的所有中医集团中排名第一,是第二大医院集团的2倍;其门诊及住院人次在中国非公立中医院医疗服务行业的所有中医院集团中排名第一。按2024年总门诊人次及住院人次计,同仁堂医养是中国非公立中医院医疗服务行业中最大的中医院集团。该细分市场的规模已占同年中国中医医疗服务行业总市场规模的46.5%。在这个极度分散、缺乏龙头的中医医疗服务市场,能够拿下"头把交椅",本身就是同仁堂医养百年品牌底蕴加持下厚积薄发的底气, 而1.7%的市占率也意味着龙头企业的整合空间才刚刚开始。四大投资逻辑:为什么此刻值得关注逻辑一:业绩已过验证期,增长质量持续提升据悉,公司FY22-FY24年收入CAGR(年复合增长率)高达13.6%,FY22-FY24年毛利CAGR高达24.8%,毛利增速远超营收增速,盈利结构持续优化,跑出了稀缺的增长质量。FY2024现金转化率为87.2%,拥有非常强健的内部流动性,"赚到的利润是真金白银"。期间费用率从17.1%降至13.6%,三年下降3.47个百分点,规模效应加速兑现。 有息债务占比仅11.56%,经营性现金流持续净流入,截至2025年9月现金2.25亿元,具有充分的安全垫,已经进入"增长和盈利"正相关的良性循环。逻辑二:全产业链协同的"降维打击"同仁堂医养依托的是百年积淀所形成的产业壁垒--同仁堂集团深入中医药行业全产业链,拥有深度的产业链协同能力。其自建的医疗服务网络覆盖医院、门诊部及诊所、社区医疗机构等,一旦与同仁堂遍布全国的药诊店相结合,其机构密度和服务能力将呈现指数级增长。据披露信息显示,其已经开始于自建的互联网医院为线下药房和医师提供线上医疗服务,目前业务范围覆盖全国。此外,依托同仁堂集团资源,公司通过收购三溪堂国药馆以及获得安宫牛黄丸系列产品在浙江区域的独家零售权后销量大增,公司健康产品和其他产品的销量在整个往绩记录期间实现爆发式增长。依托这块金字招牌,公司的推广费用率仅0.2%,远低于行业平均水平--别人花大价钱获客,同仁堂天然自带流量。正如市场分析人士指出,同仁堂的资本棋局,本质是通过专业化分拆实现精准发力。医养板块作为"最后一公里",不仅直接创造营收,更成为拉动同仁堂集团中药产品销售、增强用户粘性的超级入口。同仁堂医养上市后,同仁堂的"制药-零售-医养"三位一体的大健康生态圈将完整闭合。逻辑三:内生外延双轮驱动,增长飞轮已形成如果说品牌和集团资源是"先天优势",那么同仁堂医养通过"内生+外延"构建起的服务网络,则是其征战资本市场的"后天壁垒"。同仁堂医养已建立了一个分层级、广覆盖的中医医疗服务网络。据招股书显示,公司拥有15家医院,覆盖北京市、浙江省、山西省、辽宁省、黑龙江省、贵州省、新疆维吾尔自治区;9家基层医疗机构,覆盖北京市、浙江省、上海市,及1家互联网医院,形成了"线下首诊+线上复诊"的业务闭环。在扩张路径上,公司采取"并购+自建+管理"多轮驱动模式。为了快速切入长三角经济发达地区,公司相继收购了浙江三溪堂、上海承志堂等当地知名机构,通过"品牌赋能+标准化管理"实现收购标的的快速整合与业绩提升。根据信息,其以轻资产方式自建的方式在齐齐哈尔、北京顺义等地的新机构即将开业,同时通过向非营利性医疗机构输出管理经验、医师和人才、标准化的服务,同仁堂医养正将"同仁堂标准"复制到更广阔的市场。逻辑四:守正创新,AI+中医打开想象空间中医药老字号的焕新,既要守住"正",也要创造"新"。这一点,这一点在同仁堂系的各个板块均有体现。2025年8月25日,公开报道显示,同仁堂股份与小米商业营销达成合作,推出"同仁堂养生馆"AI智能中医药健康服务智能体,将中医药知识与AI交互能力结合,面向用户提供个性化的养生建议、用药指导与节气调养方案,已经形成"咨询-建议-服务-购药"闭环。可见,通过引入AI智能问诊与健康检测设备,同仁堂正在推动自身从"被动卖药"向"主动健康管理"转型,让百年药铺变身便民的"智慧健康服务站" 。作为同仁堂集团大健康版图的关键一块,同仁堂医养不仅承载着老字号在医疗服务领域的创新探索,更以其清晰的分级诊疗布局、深厚的医师资源及强大的产业协同效应,向资本市场讲述了一个关于传承与创新的长期主义叙事。此次赴港IPO,对于同仁堂医养而言,既是机遇也是挑战。作为拥有三百五十余年历史的中医药老字号,同仁堂不仅即将打通"中医药全产业链"的资本闭环,更将为老字号在AI经济浪潮中探索出一条"智能中医"的新路径。百年金字招牌如何通过资本的力量再次焕发光彩,市场正拭目以待。 Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Mar 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 30th Hong Kong International Film & TV Market (FILMART) and EntertainmentPulse, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), concluded successfully today. The two events attracted about 8,000 industry professionals from 53 countries and regions, highlighting the development momentum and collaborative potential of the global film and television industry. The events, held over four days, featured over 790 exhibitors across a record high participation of 38 countries and regions, bringing together enterprises from emerging markets like ASEAN members such as Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, and mature film markets such as Canada, France, Italy, Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States, further exemplifying Hong Kong’s position as a centre for cultural and artistic exchange.FILMART advances international collaboration in the film and television industryThis year’s FILMART continued to demonstrate its role as one of the region’s most influential film and television trading platforms, bringing together exhibitors, buyers and producers from both emerging and mature markets to facilitate cross-regional collaboration and business cooperations. Participating in FILMART for the first time, the General Manager of COL International Group, Timothy Oh from Singapore, noted that FILMART plays a key role in helping companies expand their international networks, he said: "I am meeting friends and new business partners from Turkey, the UK, the US, and even Brazil. Hong Kong’s role as an international hub helps create a bustling market with many business opportunities for those looking at innovation and what’s next.” Sachitha Kalingamudali, General Manager of another first-time exhibitor Mogo Studios from Sri Lanka, said FILMART exceeded his expectations. "We've met distributors from many countries, and everyone has shown genuine interest. This is a great kickstart for future partnerships." Myanmar film production company aTwentyThree even chose FILMART as its first move to explore the international market, founder Arker Soe Oo connected with distributors from the US and Europe, and expressed plans to bring more productions to the event next year.Overseas buyers also expressed strong recognition of the exhibition’s business matching effectiveness and the diversity of its content, further affirming that FILMART serves as an efficient platform for advancing collaboration across the global film and television value chain and strengthening market connectivity. Bizhan Tong, a buyer from the UK, commented: “FILMART continues to be one of the most effective platforms globally for driving cross-border collaboration. This year we formed a new strategic partnership with MOFAC, advanced multiple projects across both our and other companies' slates, and saw a highly concentrated run of meetings with partners across Asia translating into tangible co-investment and co-production opportunities.”AI Hub supports Mainland tech companies in going globalA highlight of this year’s FILMART was AI Hub which had multiple leading AI and technology companies showcasing their latest AI technologies and solutions, attracting buyers and potential partners from around the world for business discussions and exchanges. Through this platform, many Mainland start-ups and established enterprises have accelerated their expansion into overseas markets and built international networks, further enhancing brand visibility and converting opportunities into concrete business outcomes. Zhihan Zhang, Founder and CEO of Daogu Culture Limited, remarked, “Whether it is AI animation, short dramas, or digital humans, the key to the future lies in global strategy. FILMART gathers global industry professionals, facilities connections and exchanges, and enables us to understand the various client needs of different overseas markets.” In addition, the newly established "AI Academy", supported by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency and the Film Development Fund, was well-received. 19 thematic workshops equipped industry professionals with hands-on AI skills and insights into emerging trends.Producers Connect fosters collaboration between local and global producersProducers Connect, jointly organised by the HKSAR’s Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency, the Hong Kong Film Development Council and the HKTDC, united more than 100 producers from Hong Kong and around the world this year. Through a series of networking sessions, panel discussions and workshops, Producers Connect provided a cross-regional platform for creative collaboration, enabling industry professionals to share production trends, explore co-production models and discuss potential projects. The initiative strengthens connections between Hong Kong and the international film and television community, creating more possibilities for jointly expanding into the global market. Speaking at the panel discussion titled “International Coproductions in an Evolving Film Industry Landscape,” Janet Yang, Golden Globe-winning producer, observed: “The world is getting flatter, language is mattering less and less to audiences everywhere.” Producer and director Peter Chan also mentioned: “It’s always difficult to convince the studio, the investor, or now the platform, of a vision you want to make. What you try to do is diversify your investors and partners into different regions.”48 featured forums and events examine emerging industry trendsTwo major forums held alongside FILMART — EntertainmentPulse and the Digital Entertainment Summit — focused on the latest developments in the global film, television and entertainment technology sectors, attracting strong participation from industry professionals. EntertainmentPulse addressed popular topics including artificial intelligence, streaming platform strategies, the rising popularity of short dramas, co-production and financing trends. Industry leaders shared insights on global market strategies and future directions, helping the sector capture emerging opportunities. The Financing & Investment panel, themed “Capital in Motion: Private Financing Promotes Development of Asia’s Film & TV Industry,” explored Asian private investment trends, project financing strategies and planning. Justin Deimen, Managing Partner of Goldfinch International, shared: “We need to allocate more resources and capability towards creative IP valuation. If you cannot value something, you cannot invest in it.”Meanwhile, FILMART Online IP Catalogue featured more than 2,200 creative IP projects, extending the four-day physical fair into a two-month networking platform helping industry stakeholders continue exploring business opportunities. This initiative further consolidated Hong Kong’s position as Asia’s film and entertainment trading hub.
