HONG KONG, Sept 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines announced findings from a longitudinal study describing how paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) affects patients’ daily lives and quality of life in the periods between episodes. The findings are being presented in a moderated ePoster session titled “The Impact of PSVT on Patients’ Daily Life and QoL in Between Episodes”. Everest Medicines acquired the rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize CARDAMYST(R) (etripamil), a treatment for acute PSVT episodes, in Greater China (including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) in March 2026.CARDAMYST(R) (etripamil) nasal spray is a novel, rapid-acting calcium channel blocker administered as needed via a convenient, portable nasal spray. It offers rapid onset of action, favorable tolerability, and the potential for at-home self-administration, enhancing patient accessibility. CARDAMYST(R) is currently the only self-administered treatment for adults with PSVT to rapidly treat episodes. The drug was approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China in September 2026, for the conversion of acute symptomatic episodes of paroxysmal PSVT to sinus rhythm in adults.According to clinical data, treatment effects can be observed as early as five minutes after administration, with 64% of patients achieving conversion to sinus rhythm within 30 minutes and a median time to conversion of 17 minutes. CARDAMYST(R) was generally well tolerated, with predominantly mild adverse events, and significantly reduced the need for emergency department visits.Positioned as an on-demand treatment that enables patients to take control of their heart rhythm, CARDAMYST(R) empowers patients with PSVT to better manage their condition and their lives. It has the potential to transform the treatment paradigm for acute PSVT episodes from passive emergency care in hospitals to proactive self-management by patients, helping to alleviate anxiety during episodes, reduce emergency department visits and disease burden, and further improve long-term disease management and quality of life.Research presented at ESC Congress 2026 shows that PSVT is a chronic condition that continues to impact patients’ quality of life, rather than simply an occasional acute emergency. Patients with PSVT experience a substantial burden between episodes, with negative impacts on anxiety, daily activities, sleep, and work. Therefore, beyond acute treatment and subsequent catheter ablation, ensuring timely and convenient treatment during an episode is also an important aspect of PSVT management.For patients experiencing recurrent PSVT episodes, further data from studies of CARDAMYST(R) provide additional clinical support. The NODE-302 study evaluated patients with recurrent PSVT episodes during long-term follow-up. Across a total of 188 episodes, the overall conversion rate within 30 minutes was 60.2%, with a median time to conversion of 15.5 minutes and a cumulative conversion rate of 75.1% within 60 minutes. The conversion rate showed a numerical upward trend across multiple episodes. A patient’s response to the first episode was predictive of the response to subsequent episodes, with no evidence of diminished response with repeated use. In a patient-reported outcomes (PRO) analysis from the NODE-303 study, CARDAMYST(R) not only converted heart rhythm but also helped alleviate feelings of a racing or pounding heart and ease anxiety, with patients reporting sustained reductions from baseline in anxiety and stress related to future PSVT episodes. CARDAMYST(R) addresses the critical unmet need for acute self-treatment during PSVT episodes. By reducing the sense of losing control, it shifts the treatment focus from mere disease control to enhancing the overall patient experience.In December 2025, CARDAMYST(R) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), becoming the first and only self-administered nasal spray in more than 30 years capable of converting PSVT to sinus rhythm in adults. CARDAMYST(R) is also in Phase III clinical development for atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (AFib-RVR), with positive Phase II results supporting its advancement.An estimated 3 to 6 million people in China are living with PSVT. Research presented at ESC Congress 2026 further highlights the quality-of-life burden experienced by patients between episodes, while CARDAMYST(R) offers an out-of-hospital, self-administered treatment option for acute episodes. As Everest Medicines’ first approved innovative therapy in the cardiovascular disease field, CARDAMYST(R) complements the Company’s existing portfolio and has the potential to benefit more than 12 million patients in China, including those with PSVT and atrial fibrillation with AFib-RVR.

Adelaide, AU, Sept 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) — Duraqex's supplied business materials cover Australian financial services representation, U.S. money services registration and securities filings. Together with accessible official records, they provide information about the named entities. Each record serves a different purpose and must be matched to specific services.Together with accessible official records, they provide information about the named entities. Each record serves a different purpose and must be matched to specific services.The project materials extend that examination to execution: which entities bear responsibility, what their authorisations cover, and what evidence supports the proposed custody and settlement capabilities.Platform Design Focuses on Capital Efficiency Across MarketsDuraqex's project materials describe the digital asset market infrastructure addressing jurisdictional access differences, settlement arrangements, collateral eligibility and separately calculated margin across products or entities.These conditions affect whether capital can be deployed. An asset may have market value but remain ineligible as margin; credited funds may await settlement before further use.The proposed architecture connects market access, collateral management, execution and settlement. Project documents explain the design; availability requires product-status information and operational records.AFS Record Identifies DURAQEX PTY LTD as an Authorised RepresentativeThe supplied Australian record lists DURAQEX PTY LTD as authorised representative 001322634 of OPHELEO HOLDINGS PTY LTD, holder of Australian Financial Services (AFS) licence 224485. The document marks the representative's status as "Current."This describes a representative appointment, not an independently held AFS licence. Service coverage depends on the authorisation and licence conditions.Contracting entities, products and customer categories must correspond to those permissions. An ASIC lookup link is provided, but the status reported here remains attributed to the supplied record; live status was not independently verified.FinCEN MSB Registration Lists Reported ActivitiesAccording to the official FinCEN record retrieved on September 16, 2026, Duraqex Ltd is listed under Money Services Business (MSB) registration number 31000337348934. Reported activities include foreign exchange dealing, issuing and selling money orders, and issuing traveller's checks.The U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) states that registrants supply the information and registration does not constitute approval or endorsement. The record should be described as MSB registration, rather than a digital asset exchange licence.The lookup confirmed the named entry and number. It does not verify custody, withdrawal capability or solvency.SEC Form D Identifies DURAQEX LTDThe official SEC EDGAR Form D filing identifies DURAQEX LTD under Central Index Key (CIK) 0002144180.Form D is a notice of an exempt securities offering; the CIK identifies the filer. Readers can consult the SEC database to examine the issuer's information, identifier and securities offering disclosures, within the scope of that Form D filing.Custody, Proof of Reserves and Settlement Require Operational EvidenceBusiness records address entity identification and reported information. Platform capabilities require operating evidence.Custody assessment considers asset-control permissions, separation of customer and corporate assets, and obligations owed to customers. Proof of Reserves should specify the assets and liabilities covered, verification methods and limitations.Execution and settlement assessment also considers test coverage, exception handling and reviewable settlement records. These are assessment criteria, not statements that Duraqex has implemented or completed those checks.Matching contracting entities, service permissions and operating records would help users and business partners assess the platform. Registration and filing records alone do not establish comprehensive authorisation, solvency or asset safety.About DuraqexDuraqex's project materials describe digital asset market infrastructure focused on capital efficiency, market access, custody and verifiable settlement. Product status and service eligibility depend on applicable authorisations and operational evidence.Sources and Publication DisclosureThis company-supplied document assessment draws on project materials, the supplied Australian record and retrieved FinCEN and SEC records. It includes no account-opening, deposit or withdrawal testing or independent security audit and is not an independent platform rating.Media ContactContact: Ravindu WickramasuriyaEmail: info@desixb.comWebsite: https://www.desixb.com/ Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Guangzhou, China, Sept 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Airwheel, a developer of smart electric luggage and intelligent mobility products, will participate across all three phases of the 140th Canton Fair, bringing its latest generation of smart travel products to international buyers, distributors, retailers and industry partners.At the center of Airwheel's exhibition lineup will be the SE3SXD AI Luxury Suitcase, a flagship 20-inch smart electric suitcase that combines one-touch electric riding, intelligent control, connected technology and premium luggage design.The company will maintain a presence throughout all three phases of the exhibition, presenting a broader portfolio of AI Suitcases, Smart Suitcases, Electric Suitcases, Cabin Suitcases and Rideable Suitcases designed for different travel scenarios and customer segments.Airwheel will be present throughout the entire 140th Canton Fair.Phase 1: October 15–19, 2026Booth: To be announced following final confirmationPhase 2: October 23–27, 2026Booth: 20.2F19-20Phase 3: October 31–November 4, 2026Booths: 20.2J37-38, 20.2K11-12, 18.1K04The full three-phase presence gives international buyers an opportunity to connect with Airwheel throughout the exhibition period and explore its smart electric luggage portfolio, product capabilities and potential distribution opportunities.SE3SXD: From Luxury Suitcase to Intelligent Mobility CompanionThe SE3SXD represents Airwheel's latest approach to intelligent luggage, built around a simple idea: making the transition from carrying luggage to riding it faster and more intuitive.Its one-touch riding system automatically deploys the powered front wheel while the intelligent riding handle extends and locks into position. With a single operation, the suitcase can transition from a conventional Cabin Suitcase into a Rideable Suitcase without requiring users to manually complete multiple mechanical steps.The SE3SXD measures approximately 550 × 360 × 236 mm, provides 20 liters of storage capacity and weighs approximately 6.8 kg without the power bank. It supports a maximum load of 95 kg and reaches a maximum riding speed of 9.9 km/h.Its drive system uses a 230W motor and a 5.2-inch powered front wheel, combined with dual 4-inch rear wheels. The telescopic powered front-wheel structure extends the wheelbase during riding, helping improve stability across smooth indoor surfaces and common outdoor environments.The result is a premium travel product that combines the functions of a Luxury Suitcase, Cabin Suitcase, Electric Suitcase and Rideable Suitcase within one platform.Intelligent Control Designed Around the JourneyThe SE3SXD's intelligence extends beyond its electric drive system.Through Airwheel's dedicated smart APP, users can monitor riding speed, battery level and mileage in real time while adjusting speed continuously from 0.1 to 9.9 km/h.The system also supports functions including cruise control, intelligent remote control, low-battery alerts and Bluetooth disconnection notifications.Personalization is another part of the experience. The SE3SXD features an 8-color lighting system with nine lighting-effect combinations, allowing users to customize the visual appearance of the suitcase.For additional security and convenience, the SE3SXD supports Apple Find My, allowing users to locate the suitcase through compatible Apple devices and activate a sound when searching for it nearby.A 5V USB output provides additional charging capability for smartphones and other portable devices, extending the role of the suitcase beyond simple luggage storage.Designed for Modern International TravelThe SE3SXD is built around a 20-inch cabin-size format and uses a 73.26Wh removable lithium battery. The battery system has obtained International Certification, while its removable architecture allows the power unit to be separated from the suitcase when required for inspection and handling.The suitcase uses an ABS+PC composite shell reinforced with an aluminum alloy frame, combining lightweight construction with structural strength. A TSA combination lock provides additional convenience for international travelers.With a maximum load of 95 kg and an operating temperature range of approximately -10°C to 40°C, the SE3SXD is designed for a broad range of everyday travel environments.Airwheel's official product materials also emphasize the SE3SXD's combination of one-touch deployment, APP connectivity, Apple Find My and 9.9 km/h riding performance, positioning it as a flagship model within the company's smart rideable luggage range.A Complete Smart Electric Luggage Product MatrixThe SE3SXD is not a standalone product. It forms part of Airwheel's broader smart electric luggage portfolio, enabling the company to address different travel needs, price segments and user groups.SE3SXD — Flagship AI Luxury SuitcaseAirwheel's flagship intelligent model, featuring one-touch automatic riding deployment, APP control, Apple Find My and premium cabin-size design.SE3SX — Premium Smart Electric Cabin SuitcaseA compact rideable cabin suitcase designed for travelers seeking electric mobility, smart functions and a premium business-travel experience.SE3SL+ — Smart Rideable Airport SuitcaseA lightweight smart luggage option focused on portability, electric riding and everyday airport travel.SE3S / SE3SL — Established Rideable Electric Suitcase SeriesModels combining conventional luggage functionality with electric riding, removable battery systems and smart mobility features.SE3MiniT — Compact Electric Hand LuggageA smaller-format option designed for flexible personal mobility and users seeking a more compact rideable luggage solution.SE3T — Large-Capacity Electric SuitcaseA larger smart luggage platform designed for extended journeys, higher storage requirements and family travel.SQ3 / SQ3S — Family and Youth-Oriented Riding Kids SuitcaseCompact riding luggage designed around younger users and family travel scenarios.This product matrix gives Airwheel a broader commercial platform, allowing distributors and retailers to select products according to local market preferences rather than relying on a single flagship model.Growing Media Attention and Market RecognitionThe emergence of smart electric luggage has attracted increasing attention from technology, travel and consumer-product media as the traditional luggage category intersects with electric mobility and connected hardware.Airwheel's rideable smart luggage has received substantial media exposure and customer attention across different markets, helping introduce the concept of electric riding luggage to a wider international audience.The company's products have also received multiple international design recognitions. According to Airwheel, its portfolio has received more than 39 international design awards, while the company has accumulated more than 600 patents and related intellectual property assets covering areas such as electric drive, intelligent control, structural engineering and human-machine interaction.These technology and design assets form part of Airwheel's broader strategy to develop smart mobility products that combine practical functionality with consumer-oriented industrial design.Smart Electric Luggage: A 2026 Business OpportunityAs travel increasingly intersects with mobility technology, smart electric luggage is emerging as a distinct product category between traditional luggage, personal mobility and consumer electronics.For international distributors, luggage retailers, travel retailers, e-commerce businesses and mobility-focused companies, this convergence creates opportunities to introduce differentiated products into markets where conventional luggage has traditionally competed primarily on capacity, materials and design.Airwheel's multi-model portfolio provides several entry points into the category, ranging from premium AI Luxury Suitcases and compact Cabin Suitcases to larger-capacity Electric Suitcases.For businesses evaluating new product categories in 2026, smart electric luggage offers an opportunity to participate in an emerging segment driven by the convergence of AI, electric mobility, connected devices and modern travel.Rather than positioning the category simply as another type of luggage, Airwheel is developing it as a new travel technology platform—one capable of carrying belongings, providing electric mobility, connecting with smartphones and supporting users throughout their journey.Bringing Smart Travel to the Global MarketThe 140th Canton Fair will provide Airwheel with an opportunity to present this broader vision directly to international buyers.With the SE3SXD AI Luxury Suitcase as its flagship showcase and a growing product matrix behind it, Airwheel will demonstrate how smart electric luggage can evolve from a niche mobility product into a broader intelligent travel category.The company's three-phase presence also reflects its continued focus on international markets, where distributors, retailers and travel businesses can explore product demonstrations, portfolio options and potential cooperation.For Airwheel, the future of luggage is no longer limited to simply carrying what travelers bring with them.It is about helping people move, connect and travel more intelligently.At the 140th Canton Fair, Airwheel will bring that vision to the global market through a portfolio that spans AI Suitcases, Luxury Suitcases, Cabin Suitcases, Electric Suitcases and Rideable Suitcases—positioning intelligent mobility as an increasingly important part of the next generation of travel.Media ContactCompany: AirwheelContact: Media TeamWebsite: https://www.airwheel.net Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

SAN DIEGO, Sept 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) and Hanwha Aerospace have completed the first-ever flight operations from a simulated battlefield by a medium altitude, long endurance uncrewed aircraft. The partners proved that the Mojave Short Takeoff and Landing aircraft, or Mojave STOL, could land at a tank and artillery live-fire range during simulated combat conditions and then take off again to continue the mission."This demonstration showcased Mojave's ability to perform tactical missions that are representative of real battlefield requirements and challenges," said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. "Whether the user needs contested and austere battlefield operations, ISR, weapons delivery, Air-Launched Effects deployment, troop resupply, counter-UAS, or missions requiring short and unimproved roads for takeoff, our aircraft answer the bell.""This demonstration marks an important milestone in delivering tangible results through the partnership between Hanwha and GA-ASI," said Buhwan Lee, CEO nominee of Hanwha Aerospace. "Going forward, we will work closely with the ROK defense industry to develop unmanned systems designed for future operating environments and expand our presence in global markets."The Defense Drone Technology Exhibition took place in the countryside north of Seoul and highlighted Mojave's ability to operate from an austere environment with a short runway. Configured with dual weapon rails and inert payloads, Mojave executed a concept of operations designed to illustrate how STOL capability enhances operational flexibility, survivability, and responsiveness for future ROK defense applications. The demo took place at the runway of ROK Army 513th Aviation Battalion and the Seungjin Training Field in Pocheon-si.Under the control of pilots operating from ground control stations, Mojave took off from a conventional runway at ROK Army 513th ROK Aviation Battalion, flew to the Seungjin Training Field where it joined air operations, then landed on a rough maneuver trail used mostly by ROK Army tanks and artillery vehicles. The aircraft then took back off again, resumed operations, and returned to ROK Army 513th Aviation Battalion. In an actual combat situation, soldiers could have refueled and re-armed Mojave during its time on the ground at the range. No other aircraft with Mojave's endurance, range or payload has this ability.In 2025, GA-ASI announced that it was partnering with Hanwha to co-develop and co-produce UAS with STOL capability for a worldwide customer base, including the ROK Ministry of National Defense, the United States Department of War and other global customers. Critical Design Review (CDR) for a production Mojave STOL is expected in November this year with first flight in 2027.The Mojave STOL demonstrator now is scheduled to travel to Changwon where it will be on display at Hanwha's Industry Day on September 21. The event will include an array of ROK suppliers, with many contributing to the production of Mojave STOL.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

HONG KONG, Sept 16, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As the Chinese Mainland’s property sales system gradually shifts from a “sell-before-build” model to a “build-before-sell” approach, construction speed, delivery certainty and capital turnover efficiency are becoming key factors in reshaping developers’ competitiveness. Leveraging its early-mover advantage in Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) and large-scale delivery capabilities, China State Construction International Holdings Limited (“China State Construction International” or the “Group”, stock code: 03311), provides property developers with a more reliable solution to shorten construction cycles, reduce capital tied up and accelerate cash collection under the new completed-property sales model.Recently, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the National Financial Regulatory Administration jointly issued the Notice on Improving the Commodity Housing Sales System, which stipulates that commodity housing projects must complete structural topping-out before obtaining pre-sale approval. The policy also gives priority to completed-home sales for newly granted land parcels and commodity housing projects that have not yet obtained construction planning permits. The policy direction implies that developers will receive cash inflows at a later stage, driving the industry away from a model heavily reliant on pre-sale cash flow and towards a new competitive landscape centred on product delivery capabilities, project management expertise and capital efficiency.MiC technology transfers key construction processes, including structural works, MEP systems, fit-out and equipment installation, to a factory environment before modules are transported to project sites for rapid hoisting and assembly. With more than 70% of construction work completed off-site, MiC can reduce overall construction time by approximately 60% compared with traditional building methods. Through standardisation, industrialised production and parallel construction processes, MiC helps reduce on-site uncertainties and post-completion rectification works, improving quality consistency and delivery predictability. The technology is particularly suitable for residential developments, affordable housing projects and large-scale public livelihood projects where speed, quality and cost control are critical.The Group has established both concrete MiC and steel-structure MiC technology systems and is advancing multiple projects across Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Hong Kong, thereby building cross-regional replication and delivery capabilities. The Group currently owns 12 prefabrication manufacturing bases equipped with 85 intelligent production lines, with an annual production capacity of 130,000 modules. It has gradually established a fully integrated industrial value chain spanning technology research and development, manufacturing and project delivery, providing scalable industrialised construction solutions for property developers.In the first half of 2026, the Group’s MiC business recorded rapid growth, with projects covering first-tier cities in the Chinese Mainland and expanding into second-tier markets. The Group has undertaken a number of residential projects, including Shenzhen Huazhang New Affordable Housing, Beijing Huapichang, Shanghai Tianlin Road, Tongzhou Jiukeshu and the light public housing in Kai Tak. The Tongzhou Jiukeshu project is the first MiC commercial residential development in the Chinese Mainland, fully demonstrating the applicability of MiC technology in the residential sector and laying the groundwork for the Group to undertake larger-scale projects in the future.As the property sector undergoes a transformation in its development model, the Group will continue to leverage its integrated strengths in “Technology + Investment + Construction + Asset Operation” to drive the large-scale adoption of MiC technology. Through more efficient and controllable construction solutions, the Group aims to help developers enhance delivery capabilities, optimise capital turnover and adapt to the new requirements brought about by completed-property sales, while contributing industrialised construction momentum to the development of high-quality housing.On-site Hoisting of Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) Modules at the Beijing Huapichang Project Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Sept 16, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) welcomes the new Policy Address and the First Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development of the HKSAR (2026-2030), delivered today by John Lee, Chief Executive of the HKSAR. Forward-looking, strategic and practical, these two plans align with the National 15th Five-Year Plan and the strategic development of Hong Kong’s “four centres and one hub.” The plans also set a clear blueprint for Hong Kong to reinforce its role as an international financial, trade, maritime and aviation centre, while focusing on its strengths in innovation and technology as well as cultural and talent development.Chairman of the HKTDC, Professor Frederick Ma said, “We fully support the Chief Executive’s Policy Address and Hong Kong’s First Five-Year Plan. As we face an uncertain world, setting short, medium and long-term goals will help businesses set directions and remain resilient. At the HKTDC, we are fully committed to aligning with these two plans. This includes assisting the Government to expand the city’s convention and exhibition (C&E) facilities.”Professor Ma added, “With Hong Kong’s unique advantage of enjoying the mainland’s strong support while being connected to the world, our position as an international trade fair capital has been enhanced in the past few decades. However, as the scale and diversity of fairs and conferences continue to grow in Hong Kong, there is a need to expand our facilities if we are to remain competitive. That is why I fully support the Government’s proactive measure of setting up a task force led by the Deputy Financial Secretary to steer the Wan Chai North Redevelopment project. We are pleased to have the opportunity to leverage our 60 years of expertise in this area to submit a proposal on the development approach of the project to the Government.”Regarding support for Hong Kong’s business community, the HKTDC also welcomes the Chief Executive’s measures to help Hong Kong SMEs diversify their markets, including strengthening the HKTDC “E-Commerce Express” programme to promote the awareness of Hong Kong brands and expand their coverage of e-commerce markets outside Hong Kong. Other measures to enhance funding schemes and encourage adoption of technology by SMEs were also welcome. The HKTDC will step up its efforts to support Hong Kong companies through our flagship fairs and conferences, including the Asian Financial Forum, Belt and Road Summit, Business of IP Asia Forum, CENTRESTAGE and InnoEX, while helping them access the Chinese Mainland including the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and international markets. Professor Ma further said, “As a core member of the Government’s GoGlobal Task Force, HKTDC’s GoGlobal Connect programme supports Hong Kong’s professional services to partner with mainland enterprises to develop global markets, and we will align with the Policy Address to further consolidate Hong Kong’s role as the premier platform to go to.” Measures include deepening collaboration with trade associations in Hong Kong and target markets, enhancing the matching function of the Cross-sectoral Professional Services Platform and adding the ESG (environmental, social and governance) services, as well as providing training for mainland enterprises and local service providers who wish to expand to overseas markets, such as Belt and Road regions in ASEAN, Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa. The HKTDC will also leverage its 50+ offices around the world to organise international missions and overseas Hong Kong promotions which open doors to more prospects in the future.Professor Ma concluded, “As we continue to face fresh challenges, I am confident that the Policy Address and the First Five-Year Plan will forge a new path ahead for Hong Kong. I look forward to leading our team on this journey to create more value for our business communities across Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and the world.” Media enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communications & Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgJohnny TsuiTel: (852) 2584 4395Email: johnny.cy.tsui@hktdc.orgHKTDC Media Room: https://mediaroom.hktdc.com/enAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.

LAS VEGAS, NV, Sept 15, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - LearnEnglishAbc.com announced the worldwide expansion of its English as a Second Language learning platform for students, teachers, tutors, families, adult learners, and institutions. The expansion includes a free plan, a 14-day free trial, structured English lessons, 164 graded books, read-aloud narration, songs with lyrics, and access to HOPE AI Tutor. The platform is designed to help English learners study, read, listen, speak, and practice English at their own pace.LearnEnglishAbc.com helps ESL learners read, listen, follow along, and practice English with HOPE AI Tutor.LearnEnglishAbc.com was created to address a common problem in English learning: many students study English for years but still feel afraid to speak. The platform focuses on reducing the pressure of the first conversation by giving learners a private place to build skills before using English with others.A major part of the platform is the LearnEnglishAbc.com Library, which includes 164 books organized by U.S. reading levels and CEFR English levels, from A1 beginner through advanced levels. Students can choose a book at their current English level and read it on screen while listening to narration aloud.The read-and-listen Library helps learners connect written English with the way English sounds. Students can follow the words as the narrator reads, pause, continue, and learn at their own pace. Reading and listening together can support reading comprehension, listening comprehension, vocabulary, pronunciation awareness, word recognition, and sentence structure.Students may also download selected books as ePub files to read on compatible phones, tablets, and e-readers. This gives learners another way to continue reading outside the website.HOPE AI Tutor is another central part of the LearnEnglishAbc.com learning experience. HOPE can first greet learners in their own language, then help them move naturally into English conversation. This approach is intended to lower the fear of making mistakes and help learners begin speaking with more confidence."Our goal is to make English learning more accessible and less intimidating," said Bob Skerstonas, founder of LearnEnglishAbc.com. "Many learners know more English than they believe, but the first seconds of conversation can feel difficult. HOPE gives students a safe place to begin, and our Library gives them a way to read, listen, and understand English before they speak."The platform follows a simple learning cycle: study grammar and vocabulary, read graded books, listen through narration, lessons, and songs, speak with HOPE, and apply English by discussing what the learner has studied or read. LearnEnglishAbc.com does not position AI as a replacement for structured learning. Instead, HOPE provides a practice environment where students can use what they are learning.A key feature of HOPE AI Tutor is the ability to connect reading directly to conversation. After completing a graded book, a learner can discuss the book with HOPE. HOPE can ask questions about what happened, what a character did, or how the story ended. Because the learner already understands the subject, the main challenge becomes using English to explain familiar ideas.LearnEnglishAbc.com includes 45 lessons across five learning areas, including English Grammar Basics, Vocabulary I and II, additional learning topics, and music activities. The platform also includes songs with lyrics, simple sentences, selected lesson previews, and grammar resources.The LearnEnglishAbc.com free plan gives students access to free books, songs with lyrics, English Grammar Basics, simple sentences, selected lesson previews, and an introduction to HOPE AI Tutor. Students who want more practice can upgrade to a membership that includes the full English learning path, HOPE AI Tutor minutes, saved transcripts, printable lessons, progress tracking, past HOPE conversations, and access to the VIP / Annual lesson library.Membership begins at $3.99 per month, with longer plans reducing the effective monthly cost.

LearnEnglishAbc.com's next goal is to continue expanding access to affordable ESL learning tools for students worldwide.Students, educators, tutors, families, and institutions can visit LearnEnglishAbc.com to start learning English for free, read and listen to graded books, and explore HOPE AI Tutor.About LearnEnglishAbc.comLearnEnglishAbc.com is an online ESL learning platform that combines English lessons, grammar, vocabulary, graded books with narration, songs with lyrics, and HOPE AI Tutor.

SYDNEY/BEIJING, Sept 15, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Global battery storage additions reached about 108 gigawatts in 2025, up roughly 40% from a year earlier, International Energy Agency data show. The volume rivals the record annual buildout of gas-fired power capacity set in 2002.In markets with high rooftop-solar penetration, growth has been especially rapid in the residential and small-commercial segment, where storage is increasingly used to manage local supply-demand imbalances rather than purely as emergency backup power. Australia illustrates the shift.Growth is fastest in the residential and small-commercial segment, where storage is increasingly used to manage local supply-demand imbalances rather than purely as emergency backup power.Australia illustrates the shift. High rooftop-solar penetration has pushed midday wholesale power prices to negative or near zero in roughly a fifth of trading intervals on the National Electricity Market, market data show.Evening demand ramps, meanwhile, have grown by as much as 2 gigawatts in some mainland states. The imbalance has changed the economics of exporting household solar. Federal and state subsidy programs introduced in 2025 cover a significant share of battery installation costs.Australia's Clean Energy Council reported that residential battery installations surpassed 268,000 units in 2025, up 260% from a year earlier. Even so, only about one in ten of the roughly 4.3 million Australian households with rooftop solar has storage installed — a gap that industry participants say points to a large untapped market.A Widening Set of EntrantsThe convergence of electric-vehicle adoption, rooftop solar and home battery storage has drawn interest from companies outside the traditional utility and battery-manufacturing sectors. Financing, insurance and mobility-services providers that already have relationships with households — particularly those that own electric vehicles — are among those evaluating the category, industry participants say, as storage shifts from a hardware-led sale toward one that combines hardware, software, local installation and ongoing service.Companies in adjacent sectors have signaled early interest in the space. Cheche Group Inc. (Nasdaq: CCG), a Beijing-based technology platform serving China’s auto-insurance industry, disclosed this month a non-binding term sheet for a proposed strategic investment in a residential solar-and-storage business with operations in Australia and Singapore. The term sheet does not obligate the company to complete a transaction. Any investment would remain subject to due diligence, the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, and regulatory and other approvals, including from Nasdaq. There is no assurance that a transaction will be completed. If completed, the investment would leave residential storage as a potential longer-term growth option for Cheche Group, alongside its existing auto-insurance and mobility services. Households that already own electric vehicles are also the more natural buyers of rooftop solar and home batteries, which is why an auto-insurance platform would look at the category at all. In high-solar markets where most rooftop systems still have no battery attached, that overlap is why the category is seen as having substantial room to grow.
