Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - July 22, 2025) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "MILI") reports the analyses of five samples of antimony (stibnite) and gold-rich mineralized material taken from a historical mine stockpile at the Company's 100% owned past producing West Gore antimony-gold project ("West Gore" or "the Project") located in the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada. These samples were collected as part of efforts to characterize the historical deposit to optimize initial exploration methods. These high-grade results support the documented grades of material historically mined between 1914-1917 when West Gore was one of Canada's most significant antimony producers during World War One, to support the allied war effort. These results complement the announcement on July 8, 2025 that the Company had identified new drill targets extending well beyond the area of previous mining, plans to commence a drill program are currently being finalized.Historical Stockpile Sample Highlights:Highest grade sample returned 40.6 percent (%) Antimony and 106.5 Grams Per Tonne (gpt) in sample 247228 (Antimony samples ranged from 2.12% to 40.6%, gold samples ranged from 11.75 gpt to 106.5 gptAdditional high-grade antimony results included 23.5% and 18.1% in samples 247230 and 247232, respectivelyAdditional high-grade gold results included 27.4 gpt and 25.8 gpt in samples 247232 and 247230, respectivelyAverage antimony results over all five samples of 17.94%Average gold results over all five samples of 34.68 gpt3 high priority drill targets that were never previously identified will be drill tested in an upcoming work programScott Eldridge, CEO of Military Metals, stated: "The recent samples collected of up to 40.6% antimony seen in massive stibnite, the mineral that hosts antimony, from our project area have returned some spectacular results, reinforcing our exploration plan to commence drilling. With additional exploration, we can further unlock the potential of our asset and, play a strategic role in the critical minerals supply chain at a time when secure, domestic sources of antimony are in growing demand. Today's results also demonstrate the gold values that could be an important by-product or co-product as we prepare to drill. We are extremely encouraged by the high antimony and gold grades of these five specimens from the past producing mine at our Nova Scotia project. We look forward to advancing this discovery through further exploration and unlocking its full value for our shareholders. Nova Scotia's government, led by Environment Minister Tim Halman, has announced updates to the approval process for metal-mining projects aimed at accelerating timelines. In summary, the new rules are designed to streamline mining approvals and benefit industry progress."Summary of Results:Historical documentation reports that 32,000 metric tons were mined at West Gore in turn producing 7,000 metric tons of concentrate grading 46% antimony yielding 3,220 metric tons of antimony metal, and 6,861 ounces of gold (source: NI 43-101 Technical Report for the West Gore Sb-Au Project, May 25, 2021, prepared by M.S. King, PGeo & M.C. Corey PGeo, May 25, 2021, for Battery Elements Corp). This indicates recovered grades of 10.06% antimony and 0.21 ounces per ton (6.5 gpt) gold, historically. Historical mining was both small-scale and selective, almost certainly enhanced by hand sorting at surface prior to processing. Commercial production ceased in 1917.Table 1 below displays the analytical results for antimony and gold from the five samples. Antimony varies from a low of 2.12 to a high of 40.6%, for an average of 17.94%; gold varies from a low of 11.75 to a high of 106.5 gpt, for an average of 34.68 gpt (uncapped). These grades support the accuracy of historical documentation of mined grades. Of mineralogical interest is the fact that two of the samples, 247230 and 247231, ran 2.01 and 2.81% lead, respectively.Table 1: Sample ResultsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/259593_6c12fb9e645578af_001full.jpgNote: Grab samples are selective by nature and samples visually estimated to be high-grade were intentionally selected for characterization in this exercise.

Samples were crushed, split, ground, split, and a 35 gram portion subjected to a four-acid digestion followed by Induction Coupled Plasma ("ICP") - Mass Spectrometry ("MS") analysis. Over-limit samples for gold and antimony (all five of them) were analyzed by fire assay and ICP- Atomic Emission Spectrometry ("AES") analysis, respectively. Internal Quality Assurance - Quality Control protocols were followed by the lab including blanks, standards, and duplicates to ensure analytical accuracy.Mining History and Geology of the Region:Gold in Nova Scotia was first discovered in 1860, which led to gold rushes throughout many parts of the province over the years following. Gold production in the Rawdon hills began in 1884 and continued until 1932 from several mines. Gold deposits of Nova Scotia's Meguma Terrane typically occur as relatively shallow-dipping, bedding-parallel "saddle reef" type vein systems controlled by regional fold structures. Gold deposits of the Rawdon area, which is found at the east edge of West Gore, are uniquely characterized by the occurrence of steeply east-dipping gold-bearing veins striking north-northwest across bedding. The Government of Nova Scotia's Mineral Occurrence Database reports that historical production from the Rawdon Hills area mines totaled 13,494 ounces. Antimony is a common accessory element in many gold mines around the world, occasionally occurring in higher concentrations.The technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by David Murray PGeo, President and Principal Consultant of Resourceful Geoscience Solutions Inc. of Halifax, Nova Scotia, a consultant to the Company, and qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

The collaboration aims to ensure that robotaxis remain "always online, never disconnected."(Attendees: Yang Jian, Vice Chairman of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (third from left); Gong Xin, Executive Director and CEO of CaoCao (second from left); Wang Yang, CEO of Geespace (second from right); Qiang Qi, CTO of CaoCao (first from left); Qu Suchao, Deputy General Manager of Geespace and General Manager of Lane Position (first from right))Both parties plan to explore the application of global satellite communication and high-precision positioning technologies for managing and operating robotaxi fleets. The integration of satellite application products and services into CaoCao's robotaxis will establish CaoCao as the world’s first mobility platform to fully incorporate low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication and centimeter-level, high-precision positioning technologies into robotaxi operations. This initiative paves the way for the future large-scale deployment of robotaxis and ensures their safety.Satellite Direct-to-Device Enhances Vehicle Safety RedundancyWhen it comes to safety, CaoCao's human-driven ride-hailing service is already ahead of the industry. CaoCao's accident rate per order in both 2023 and 2024 was significantly lower than the industry average, according to Frost & Sullivan data. This was due to the company's hardware redundancy and professional drivers.Currently, CaoCao is conducting a pilot program for robotaxis and steadily expanding its fleet. To provide the safest possible travel experience for robotaxis, CaoCao is leveraging aerospace technology to improve safety beyond vehicle hardware redundancy. These lay a solid foundation for the upcoming rapid development phase of autonomous driving.It is learned that robotaxis on the CaoCao platform will gain two key capabilities:Safety Redundancy of Satellite Communication: Robotaxis are equipped with integrated satellite communication capabilities to ensure real-time data transmission and emergency status reporting even in remote operational areas. As a result, uninterrupted and dependable connectivity between robotaxis and the control center establishes a substantial foundation for remote monitoring, dispatching, and emergency intervention.Centimeter-Level Positioning Accuracy: Robotaxis are paired with high-precision sensors. These sensors minimize positioning errors to an extremely low level. They can even achieve precise lane-level positioning and tracking in complex environments like urban canyons and overpasses. Additionally, their strong ability to withstand interference ensures that positioning signals remain stable and reliable during severe weather, including heavy rain.Gong Xin, CEO of CaoCao, stated: “Safety is the core prerequisite and ultimate test for robotaxi commercialization. By selecting and deploying satellite application products and services, we are integrating 'heaven' (satellite technology) and 'earth' (robotaxi intelligence) to build an innovative, multilayered safety redundancy system. This system represents not only a synergy of cutting-edge technologies, but also CaoCao's firm commitment to safeguarding user safety and leading the future of secure mobility."Further Upgraded Robotaxi Ecosystem of CaoCaoBacked by the Geely Group, CaoCao is a key pillar of the group’s future mobility strategy, establishing China’s first closed-loop, fully self-developed ecosystem encompassing "customized vehicles + autonomous driving technology + mobility platform." CaoCao now stands as the only Chinese mobility company whose full-chain capabilities are comparable to Tesla’s "manufacturing + autonomous driving + operations" model.CaoCao’s robotaxi platform seamlessly integrates its operational expertise with the Geely Group’s strengths in automotive manufacturing and autonomous driving technology. With its proven capabilities in service standardization, cost optimization, and asset management—all validated through customized vehicles—CaoCao is well-positioned to drive the large-scale deployment of robotaxi services.The strategic partnership with Geespace exemplifies the efficient synergy within the Geely Group’s smart mobility technology ecosystem. As the Geely Group’s provider of aerospace information and communication infrastructure and solutions, Geespace focuses on constructing and operating a LEO satellite constellation, manufacturing satellites, and developing satellite applications. Geespace also independently builds and operates the "Geely Constellation," which currently consists of 30 in-orbit satellites and over 5,000 high-precision ground-based positioning stations across China. These efforts rank Geespace among the industry leaders in terms of hardware scale and operational support capabilities.As members of the Geely ecosystem, CaoCao and Geespace collaborate to eliminate data coordination barriers caused by differing technical standards in traditional supply chains. This not only highlights the synergistic advantages of CaoCao’s robotaxi ecosystem but also propels China’s autonomous driving industry into a new phase of secure and controllable ecological integration, moving beyond mere technological convergence.

The Calculator helps Malaysian companies identify key GHG emission sources in line with the ‘Emissions’ disclosure requirements of the Simplified ESG Disclosure Guide (SEDG) for SMEs in Supply Chains.KUALA LUMPUR, July 22, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Capital Markets Malaysia (“CMM”), an affiliate of the Securities Commission Malaysia (“SC”), today launched the SEDG Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) Emissions Calculator for Small and Medium Enterprise (“SMEs”). The user-friendly tool is designed to help Malaysian companies measure and report their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions based on the globally recognised Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.Dato’ Mohammad Faiz Azmi, Executive Chairman of the SC and Chairman of CMM said, “For many SMEs in Malaysia, particularly those operating in global supply chains, the ability to accurately measure and report their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions is critical in responding to disclosure demands of their customers.Photo 1: Dato' Mohammad Faiz Azmi, Executive Chairman of the SC and Chairman of CMM“The SEDG GHG Emissions Calculator simplifies a complex process, making emissions reporting accessible even to first-time users. Beyond reporting, it also enables companies to pinpoint key emission sources across operations, allowing them to make informed decisions and move towards meaningful climate action,” he said.“The calculator further complements efforts by the SC to promote consistent and credible sustainability disclosures and supports the adoption of the National Sustainability Reporting Framework by Malaysian companies,” he added.To ensure consistency and credibility, the SEDG GHG Emissions Calculator utilises a methodology which follows widely accepted international standards such as the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). These standards are also used by the Malaysian government in the Biennial National Communications to the UNFCCC.The Calculator comes with pre-filled emission factors from the IPCC'S 6th Annual Report (AR6) for fuel combustion commonly used in Malaysia such as diesel, petrol, LPG, natural gas, and others. Emission factors for grid electricity consumption come from local sources such as publications from Malaysia’s Energy Commission.Navina Balasingam, General Manager of CMM said, “The SEDG has received widespread acceptance since its launch in October 2023. We’ve seen a strong response from Malaysian and multinational companies with large supply chains, utilising the SEDG to support ESG reporting by their SME suppliers.Photo 2: Navina Balasingam, General Manager of CMM“CMM will continue its nationwide workshops to help SMEs in supply chains disclose ESG data credibly and effectively. The Calculator is a key part of this effort, further simplifying the ‘Emissions’ disclosure requirements of the SEDG,” she said.“In developing the tool, we carried out a series of user acceptance tests (UATs) to understand the needs and expectations of SMEs across diverse sectors within the supply chain. To ensure broad accessibility, the Calculator is available at no cost to users, in three languages – English, Bahasa Melayu and Simplified Mandarin,” she added.As global sustainability standards, customer expectations, and ESG compliance requirements continue to evolve, it is essential that the SEDG remains relevant and practical for Malaysian businesses.

SINGAPORE, July 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On July 15 2025, to mark the successful secondary listing of China Medical System Holdings Limited ("CMS" or the "Group") on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange ("SGX"), SGX and CMS co-hosted the "Singapore and Emerging Markets Pharmaceutical Industry Growth Forum & CMS SGX Secondary Listing Appreciation Dinner". Held in a grand fashion, the event was held at the Group's CDMO manufacturing facility, PharmaGend, which is located in Tuas, Singapore.The event brought together about 150 representatives from local government agencies, multinational pharmaceutical companies, innovative biotech companies, leading investment institutions, and the KOLs in the pharmaceutical industry. Through a series of insightful keynote speeches and panel discussions, guests engaged in in-depth exchanges and shared ideas on various topics, such as the pharmaceutical industry's development in Singapore and emerging markets across the Asia-Pacific region, the breakthroughs and overseas expansion of Chinese innovative drugs, the globalization strategies, commercialization pathways, as well as ecosystem collaboration of innovative pharmaceutical companies.The forum began with opening remarks by Ms. Caihan Chia, Head of Greater China Capital Markets and Chief Representative of Beijing Representative Office at SGX, and Ms. Louise Ho, Assistant Vice President of Healthcare Division and China Desk at the Singapore Economic Development Board. These were followed by keynote addresses from Mr. Siang Sheng Foo, Head of Investment Banking at Singapore CGS International Securities, Mr. Shriharsha Sarkar, Partner for Asia Healthcare at L.E.K. Consulting, and Ms. Kah Yean Neo, Senior Director at Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR).Ms. Caihan Chia stated that in recent years, SGX has become increasingly attractive to Chinese enterprises through policy refinements, including tax incentives, capital support from the secondary market, and streamlined regulatory procedures. The successful listing of CMS showcases the growing interest among Chinese companies in the Singapore market. As one of leading healthcare companies, CMS's listing highlights the growing demand for medical innovation and medical service accessibility across Asia. With CMS seeking to expand its business in Southeast Asia, its listing on SGX will serve as a strategic springboard to connect with international investors and further reinforce Singapore's role as a vital capital hub.Emerging Markets: A New Growth Engine for the Global Pharmaceutical IndustryEmerging markets, such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East, are becoming new growth drivers for the global pharmaceutical industry. A combination of factors, including large populations, early signs of ageing, the rise of the middle class, growing health awareness, and the increasing burden of chronic diseases, is driving higher demand for medicines and improved accessibility. According to IQVIA, by 2028, the combined pharmaceutical market size of four major emerging regions - Asia-Pacific, India, Africa & the Middle East, and Latin America - is expected to reach USD 336 - 384 billion, comparable to the USD 410 billion market size projected for Western Europe.Singapore possesses geographical and institutional advantages for accessing Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other emerging markets. With its robust financial system, open and inclusive policy environment, and thriving pharmaceutical industry, Singapore is increasingly becoming a global hub for capital and innovation. It has also become the preferred location for regional headquarters for many Chinese enterprises expanding into Southeast Asia.Seizing Opportunity: Strategic Pathways for Chinese Innovative Pharma to Expand into Emerging MarketsIn Southeast Asia's six major economies (SEA6), limited healthcare coverage means that out-of-pocket payments constitute the primary source of drug expenditure. While generics dominate, branded originator drugs continue to hold significant market share in private hospitals, retail pharmacies, and clinics. Patient demand for biologics and biosimilars continues to grow.In terms of commercialization models, traditional distribution model, which relies on third-party logistics (3PL), is gradually giving way to models with stronger commercial capabilities and strategic licensing partnerships. To achieve sustainable success in Southeast Asia, pharmaceutical companies must build competitive product portfolios, leverage experienced local sales teams, and consider establishing localized manufacturing capabilities, widely seen as key strategic advantages.The CMS's Approach: Building Dual Hubs in China and Singapore to Drive End-to-End InnovationWith over 30 years of experience in the Chinese market, CMS has accumulated a differentiated product portfolio and mature commercialization capabilities. Today, the Group is expanding its strategic vision across the Asia-Pacific region, using China as a foundation and Singapore as its regional hub. Through an end-to-end value chain of "R&D–manufacturing–commercialization–investment", CMS is driving innovation to deliver high-quality pharmaceutical products and services to patients worldwide.Mr. Lam Kong, Chairman, Chief Executive and President of CMS, delivered a keynote speech titled "New CMS, New Ascent: Three Strategies to Drive the Second Growth Curve." He shared that since launching its "New CMS" transformation strategy in 2018, the Group has propelled growth through three engines — product innovation, commercial transformation, and international expansion. This has enabled the Group's transition from "China's largest CSO" to "a pharmaceutical company in transformation," and finally, to "an end-to-end innovative pharmaceutical enterprise", with a sustainable second growth curve.In product innovation, driven by a three-dimensional approach of "Licensing, Strategic partnerships, and in-house R&D”, the Group has built a pipeline of nearly 40 FIC/BIC innovative drugs, five of which have been approved in China and are in large-scale clinical use. In the area of commercialization, CMS remains focused on cardio-cerebrovascular, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, and skin health specialties, while enhancing anti-cyclical resilience through a diversified ecosystem of "New retail, E-commerce, and Consumer healthcare". Its skin health subsidiary, Dermavon, has become a niche market leader in China and is now progressing toward a spin-off for an independent listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In the area of globalization, CMS is creating a dual-track model centred in China and Singapore, using a strategy of "bringing in" to accelerate overseas product launches in China, and a strategy of "moving outward" to establish an end-to-end presence in emerging markets. The successful listing on SGX will enhance its regional synergy and close the loop in the "R&D – Manufacturing – Commercialization – Investment" global value chain, unlocking growth from emerging markets and creating a multi-regional growth framework.CMS formally launched its industrial globalization strategy in 2022. At this event, CMS's international business clusters made their debut, showcasing its forward-looking, full industry chain layout and leadership in setting a new paradigm for Chinese pharmaceutical companies expanding overseas.PharmaGendEstablished in 2023, PharmaGend aims to become Southeast Asia's largest and most reliable CMO/CDMO. It has a site spanning 30,000 square meters and is capable of manufacturing dosage forms such as tablets and capsules, which has been certified by the FDA and HSA, demonstrating its high-standard pharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities for global export. It has future plans to expand production lines for injections, ointments, and nasal sprays. RxilientEstablished in 2021, Rxilient operates by a professional and experienced localized team, and has fully established BD, registration, marketing, andcommercialization capabilities. Leveraging its unique local expertise and advantages, Rxilient can bring innovative drugs to emerging markets led by Southeast Asia and the Middle East. It has submitted marketing applications for nearly 20 drugs and medical devices across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and regions such as Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, covering the therapeutic areas of dermatology, ophthalmology, oncology, autoimmune, and central nervous system. As more drugs receive regulatory approval in these countries, Rxilient anticipates sustained and significant revenue growth.CMS R&DEstablished in Singapore in 2024, CMS R&D has been working on more than 10 early-stage innovative drug projects. Leveraging China's mature early-stage R&D and clinical resources, it aims to synchronize China speed with global standards to advance more Chinese innovative drugs toward globalization.HiGendEstablished in 2025, HiGend is a global early-stage bio-pharma incubation platform which uses a "hub-and-spoke" model, integrating China's innovation capabilities to accelerate global R&D and commercialization.Subsequently, three panel discussions were held in succession, which facilitated an in-depth exchange between industry and capital, driving the forum to its climax. Distinguished guests from various parties freely shared insights on the continuous development and diversification of the pharmaceutical ecosystem, and jointly explored the future of pharmaceutical expansion into emerging markets.Panel Discussion 1 – Challenges and Breakthroughs: The Enduring Power of Organizational and Strategic Long-Term VisionThe emerging markets of today share numerous similarities with China's pharmaceutical landscape twenty years ago, which are currently experiencing a critical period of accelerated demand release for pharmaceuticals, constituting medium- to long-term structural opportunities. Undoubtedly, these markets are diverse and complex — each country has its own unique characteristics in terms of drug regulation, healthcare insurance mechanisms, and market acceptance. However, CMS's core strength lies in its systematic commercialization capabilities, which it is now extending to emerging markets. CMS's senior management team, alongside its business partners, jointly reviewed and discussed the key factors contributing to its commercial excellence, as well as the pathways driving the Group's second growth curve.The first panel discussion was moderated by Mr. Brian Yang, Vice President for Business Development at Rxilient. Participants included Mr. Karl Luschmann, Managing Director of Pharma Stulln GmbH, and Ms. Linlang Wang (formerly the first product manager of the Augentropfen Stulln Mono Eye Drops ("Stulln") in China), General Manager of CMS's ophthalmology business, CMS Vision, among others. Collectively, they reviewed the core strategies behind the rapid, year-on-year growth of Stulln in the Chinese market- a focus on clinical value and continuous innovation in commercialization models. CMS adhered to prioritizing clinical efficacy, amassing substantial evidence to demonstrate the clinical value of Stulln in treating asthenopia, and leveraging medical advancements to drive product commercialization. Meanwhile, CMS also continuously revamped its commercialization model by establishing a full-channel retail system that integrates in-hospital and out-of-hospital sales, developing an "online + offline" omnichannel marketing system, and adopting a diversified product portfolio strategy in consumer attributes. These concerted efforts facilitated the sustained, rapid growth and wide recognition of Stulln within the Chinese market.Mr. Victor Yin, Country Manager of Incyte Bioscience China, Mr. Huang Anjun, CEO of Dermavon (CMS's skin health business), and Mr. Lawrence He, CEO of Rxilient, jointly retraced the entire journey of launching ruxolitinib cream — a blockbuster prescription drug with consumer attributes. From the signing of the collaboration agreement and pilot launch in Hainan Boao Lecheng pilot zone, to marketing approvals in Macao, followed by Hong Kong, introduction into designated hospitals in the Greater Bay Area in China, and the NDA has been submitted in China, Singapore, and other countries or regions. Leveraging mature clinical development experience and capabilities, proven commercialization competence, a compliant operational system, and efficient execution, the group earned high recognition and trust from Mr. Victor Yin.Together, the parties have helped bring new hope to vitiligo patients in both China and Southeast Asia simultaneously.These successful commercialization experiences not only provide valuable business model references for international pharmaceutical companies entering the Chinese market, but also offer significant insights for Chinese pharmaceutical companies looking to expand into emerging markets overseas.Panel Discussion 2 – Breaking Through: Diverse Explorations for Chinese Innovative Pharmaceutical Companies to Expand into Emerging MarketsOver the past three years, Chinese pharmaceutical companies have secured over USD 10 billion in upfront payments through license-out deals. However, the majority of these transactions remain concentrated in mature markets led by Europe and the United States. Looking ahead, the next engine of growth may shift toward emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America — regions with a combined population of approximately 1.8 billion and per capita healthcare spending is merely one-fifth that of Western markets. While pharmaceutical demand is accelerating in these areas, challenges persist, including limited payment capacity and significant differences in regulatory systems. Whether Chinese pharmaceutical companies can effectively replicate and localize their domestic development and innovation models in these blue ocean markets, will determine the scale and sustainability of their second growth curve.The second panel discussion, moderated by Mr. Brian Yang, featured esteemed representatives from leading Chinese innovative pharmaceutical companies that are closely collaborating with CMS, including Tibet Nordicon Pharma, NeuroDawn Pharmaceutical (Ningdan Pharmaceutical), Mabgeek Biotech, and Jingze BioPharmaceutical. Using examples such as XinHuoSu (for acute decompensated heart failure), Y-3 for Injection (under development for stroke treatment), ABP-671 (under development for gout) etc., participants held in-depth discussions on topics, including "What constitutes truly clinically valuable innovation" and "How to implement commercialization pathways within emerging markets"True innovation value stems from professionalism and dedicated focus. It requires researchers to remain committed to a specific field over the long term, and to validate new targets and drug structures through reverse translational research, thereby identifying their potential clinical value. Since China officially joined the International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) in 2017 and became a member of its steering committee, the quality of Chinese innovative pharmaceutical products has improved rapidly and has gradually gained global recognition. In addition to entering mature markets led by Europe and the U.S., Chinese innovators are increasingly turning their attention to emerging blue ocean markets such as Southeast Asia, actively exploring parallel regulatory filings in both emerging and mature markets. For innovative pharmaceutical companies, globalization strategies should be integrated into the early stages of pipeline development cycles and macro-level strategy. It is also crucial to seek out a business partner that possesses the entire value-chain capabilities — including experienced local clinical registration teams, manufacturing capacity, and commercialization operations—in order to drive efficient product launches and expand access to high-quality medical solutions across a broader range of geographies.Panel Discussion 3 – Setting Sail: Pharmaceutical Expansion into Emerging MarketsThe third panel discussion was moderated by Mr. Frank Hong, Managing Director of Legend Capital, engaging multiple leading pharmaceutical analysts from renowned investment banks and representatives from investment institutions in an insightful sharing and in-depth discussion on the international expansion of innovative drug products and pharmaceutical industry globalization. Participants pointed out that China's pharmaceutical industry is currently at a strategic inflection point for global expansion. The Intellectual Property (IP) licensing model has preliminarily demonstrated the global competitiveness of Chinese innovation. However, for most domestic pharmaceutical companies, this process remains in the "isolatedbreakthrough" phase. To achieve the transition from a practice of "one-time licensing" to "sustained global engagement," Chinese pharmaceutical companies must look to multinational pharmaceutical giants as a benchmark — internationalizing their commercialization, manufacturing, and R&D capabilities to build a replicable, scalable, and sustainable global industrial ecosystem.Achieving this goal is no easy task. While many Chinese pharmaceutical companies have begun exploring emerging markets, they often face challenges such as fragmented distribution channels and difficulty in standardizing operational systems. Only by maintaining conviction and building a fully integrated, internationalized ecosystem across the entire value chain can companies transform one-off licensing revenues into long-term brand equity and control of the value chain, ultimately earning a sustained voice and competitive edge in the global arena.Though the forum's spotlight has dimmed, the consensus reached continues to shine like a beacon: Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other emerging markets are quickly becoming the next major destinations for the global pharmaceutical industry. CMS's fully localized framework covering "Research, Manufacturing, Commercialization, and Investment" has paved the way for industrial expansion overseas, constructing a bridge to globalization. With an open and win-win attitude, the Group welcomes innovators, regulators, and capital from around the world to work together in bringing more Chinese and global innovative drugs to emerging markets, fostering international growth. CMS sincerely invites partners across all sectors to seize the growth opportunities of the Asia-Pacific region and jointly promote innovation in the pharmaceutical industry across emerging markets, so that more innovative therapies may benefit patients around the world.Media Contact:Company: China Medical System Holdings Ltd.Contact: CMS Investor RelationsEmail: ir@cms.net.cnWebsite: https://web.cms.net.cn/en/home/Source: China Medical System Holdings Ltd.

深圳，2025年7月18日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 7月15日，值此康哲药业控股有限公司（"康哲药业"或"集团"）成功于新加坡交易所（"新交所"）主板二次上市之际，由新交所与康哲药业联合主办的"新加坡及新兴市场医药产业发展论坛暨康哲药业新交所二次上市答谢晚宴"在集团位于新加坡大士的CDMO生产工厂PharmaGend盛大举行。本次活动汇聚了近150位来自当地政府机构、跨国药企、创新生物药企、顶尖投资机构及医药行业的领军人物与意见领袖。与会嘉宾围绕新加坡及亚太新兴市场医药产业发展、中国创新药的破局与出海、创新药企国际化发展战略选择、商业化路径及生态协同，通过多场精彩的主题报告与圆桌对话，展开了深度交流与思想碰撞。活动伊始，新交所高级总监/大中华区资本市场主管谢采含女士、新加坡经济发展局医疗大健康司副司长/中国事务部副司何欣倩女士发表开幕致辞。随后，中国银河证券新加坡投资银行业务主管符祥圣先生、L.E.K.（艾意凯咨询）亚洲医疗保健合伙人Shriharsha Sarkar先生、新加坡科技研究局高级总监Kah Yean Neo女士进行了主旨演讲。谢采含女士在致辞中表示：近年来，新交所通过政策优化吸引中国企业，包括税收优惠、二级市场资金支持及监管流程优化。康哲药业的成功上市，反映了更多中国企业对新加坡市场的兴趣。作为医疗保健行业的领军企业之一，此次上市充分体现出亚洲地区对医疗创新及医疗服务可及性的需求与日俱增。随着康哲药业寻求拓展东南亚地区的业务版图，公司在新交所的上市将为其提供一个战略跳板，助力康哲药业连接国际投资者，并进一步增强新加坡资本汇聚与增长枢纽的显著地位。新兴市场：全球医药产业新增长极东南亚、中东等新兴市场由于其庞大的人口基数、初步显现的老龄化趋势、中产阶级规模的扩大和健康意识的提升，以及慢性病负担增加对疾病谱重塑等因素，正推动当地药品消费能力与可及性跃升，成为全球医药产业新的增长极。根据 IQVIA 预测，2028年亚太、印度、非洲 & 中东、拉丁美洲四大新兴市场经济体医药市场规模合计有望达 3360-3840 亿美元，体量与西欧整体医药市场规模 2028 年预计的 4100 亿美元接近。新加坡具备面向东南亚、中东及更广阔新兴市场的区位与制度优势。近年来，凭借其卓越的金融体系、开放包容的政策环境以及蓬勃发展的医药产业，正逐步成为全球资本与创新力量汇聚的高地，亦成为众多中国企业拓展东南亚业务的理想区域总部所在地。把握机遇：中国创新药企出海新兴市场的战略路径因东南亚六国（SEA6）的医保覆盖范围仍相对有限，自费支付构成了当地药品支出的主要来源。这一支付结构使得在私立医院、零售药店及诊所等自费渠道中，尽管仿制药占据主导，品牌原研药仍维持可观份额，且患者对生物制剂、生物类似药等创新疗法的需求持续增长。商业化模式方面，传统的依赖第三方物流（3PL）的分销体系正在逐步被融合更强商业化能力与授权合作策略的新模式所取代。医药企业若希望在东南亚市场实现可持续的商业化成功，构建具有竞争力的产品组合，配备具备深厚本地市场经验的强大销售团队，或建立本地化生产制造能力，被一致认为是至关重要的战略优势。康哲之道：打造中新双枢纽，全链发展的创新药企康哲药业三十余载，在中国市场积累了丰富的差异化品种资源和成熟的商业化能力，如今，集团正加快将战略视野拓展至全亚太市场，以中国市场为根基、以新加坡为亚太枢纽，通过"研-产-销-投"全链条布局驱动创新，为全球患者提供高品质医药产品和服务。康哲药业主席兼行政总裁、总裁 林刚先生在活动中就"新康哲，新崛起：三个战略走出第二增长曲线"发表主旨演讲，并表示：自2018年起，康哲药业启动"新康哲"转型战略，以"产品创新+商业革新+国际拓展"三大战略为引擎，逐步完成从"中国最大CSO"，到"向Pharma转型升级"，再到"全链发展的创新药企"的跃迁，构建可持续的第二增长曲线。产品创新方面，以"许可引进+战略合作+自主研发"三维创新驱动下，集团实现FIC/BIC创新管线累计布局近40款，其中5款创新药在中国获批并已进入规模化临床应用；商业化模式方面，集团持续聚焦心脑血管、消化、眼科及皮肤健康等核心专科领域，并通过"新零售、新媒体、消费医疗"多元生态锻造抗周期韧性，其中皮肤健康业务德镁医药已成长为中国细分领域领军者，正推进其分拆于香港联交所独立上市；国际化发展方面，集团以中新双轨循环开辟全球增量，将以"引进来"加速海外产品中国落地，"走出去"布局新兴市场全链条，推动从"中国市场国际化"到"产业资源全球化配置"的升维。此次在新交所的成功上市，将进一步搭建亚太协同平台，闭环"研-产-销-投"的"产业国际化"发展价值链，释放新增量市场红利、构建多区域增长格局。康哲药业的"产业国际化"战略正式始于2022年。本次活动中，集团产业国际化业务集群首次集体亮相，凭借前瞻性的全产业链布局，康哲药业正引领中国医药企业出海新范式。PharmaGend 工厂PharmaGend工厂成立于2023年，致力于成为东南亚地区最大、最值得信赖的CMO/CDMO企业，拥有生产场地约3万平方米，片剂、胶囊等固体剂型生产线，已通过美国FDA和新加坡HSA的双重认证，具备面向全球输出的高质量药品制造能力。未来计划进一步建设注射剂、软膏剂、鼻喷剂等生产线。Rxilient（康联达）Rxilient（康联达）成立于2021年，由专业、经验丰富的本土化团队运营，并已搭建BD、注册、市场推广、销售等体系，凭借独特的本地专业经验和优势，可助力全球医药创新产品进入东南亚及中东新兴市场。已在东南亚、港澳台地区、中东累计提交了近20款药品和医疗器械的上市申请，覆盖皮肤科、眼科、肿瘤、自身免疫、中枢神经等疾病领域，随着各国药品陆续获批上市，将实现收入持续增长放量。CMS R&D研究院CMS R&D研究院于2024年在新加坡设立，已经布局十余款处于早期研发阶段的创新药，充分依托中国成熟的早期研发与临床资源，实现"中国速度+全球标准"同步，将更多中国创新药推向国际化。HiGendHiGend成立于2025年，采用"中心辐射"模式，在康哲药业生态体系的基础上，致力于打造一个生物医药早期创新产品的全球孵化平台。该平台旨在充分整合中国创新药研发优势，通过高效协同与资源整合，加速创新药物的全球研发与落地，提升国际化创新转化效率。接下来，三场圆桌对话的相继展开，构建了一个产业和资本的深度交流平台，将论坛推向高潮。各方嘉宾畅言分享行业生态链的持续构建与多元拓展，共话新兴市场背景下医药出海的未来。圆桌对话一：挑战与超越-源自组织与战略的长期主义力量今日的新兴市场与20年前的中国市场有诸多相似之处，正处于医药需求加速释放的关键时期，构成了中长期结构性机遇。当然，这也是一个多元、复杂的市场，每个国家在药品监管、医保机制和市场接受度上都有不同特点。但康哲药业的基因与优势正是在于其系统性的商业化能力，并正将该能力与优势外溢至新兴市场。康哲药业核心业务管理层与合作伙伴共同回顾与探讨了其商业卓越的关键因素，以及推动集团第二增长曲线的实现路径。首场圆桌对话在Rxilient（康联达）商务拓展副总裁杨大洲先生主持下，Pharma Stulln GmbH总经理Karl Luschmann先生与康哲药业眼科业务康哲维盛总经理王琳琅女士（曾任施图伦滴眼液首位产品经理）等共同回顾了康哲药业在中国市场实现施图伦滴眼液逐年高速增长的核心策略，即注重临床价值挖掘与不断创新的商业化模式：康哲药业坚持以临床疗效优先，以累积丰富的循证证据证实施图伦在专业视疲劳治疗方面的临床价值，以医学驱动推进产品商业化价值释放。集团亦不断革新商业化模式：构建"院内+院外"的全渠道零售业态、"线上+线下"的全域营销体系，以及"消费医疗"的多元化产品布局策略。这些举措共同促进了施图伦滴眼液在中国市场的持续高速增长与广泛认可。Incyte中国区总经理殷冬良先生、康哲药业皮肤健康业务德镁医药CEO黄安军先生、及Rxilient（康联达）CEO何敛先生一同回溯具有消费医疗属性的重磅处方药芦可替尼乳膏从合作签署、海南博鳌先行先试、到中国澳门获批、中国香港获批、落地中国内地大湾区指定医院、再到递交中国、新加坡等国家/地区上市申请的全过程。集团凭借成熟的临床开发经验与能力，被验证的商业化能力，合规的运营体系及高效执行力，赢得了Incyte殷总的高度认可与信赖，各方携手为白癜风患者在中国与东南亚同步点亮治疗曙光。这些商业化成功经验为不仅为国际药企进入中国市场提供了宝贵的商业模式参考，同时也为中国药企拓展海外新兴市场的商业化路径提供了重要的借鉴经验。圆桌对话二：破局出海-中国创新药企开拓新兴市场的多元探索过去三年，中国药企通过License-out所获得的首付款已突破百亿美元，但绝大多数交易仍集中于欧美为首的成熟市场。未来增长的新引擎，或将转向东南亚、中东和拉美等新兴市场 - 这些地区人口总量约18亿，人均医疗支出仅为欧美的五分之一，医药需求正加速释放，但同时也面临支付能力不足、监管体系差异显著等挑战。能否将中国本土积累的发展经验和创新模式在这片蓝海实现高效复制与本地化落地，将成为决定中国药企第二增长曲线的成色与可持续性的关键。第二场对话由杨大洲先生主持，西藏药业、宁丹新药、麦济生物、景泽生物等与康哲药业深度合作的知名中国创新药企代表共同参与讨论，以其产品新活素（用于急性心力衰竭）、注射用Y-3（拟用于卒中治疗）、ABP-671（拟用于痛风治疗）等创新药为例，就"何为真正有临床价值的创新药"、及"探索新兴市场的商业化路径"等议题进行了深入探讨。真正的创新价值源自专业或专注精神，需要科研人员长期专注于某一特定方向，并通过逆向研究验证新靶点的发现和新药物结构的科学性，以识别靶点的潜在临床价值。自中国2017年正式加入国际人用药品注册技术协调会（ICH），并成为管委会成员后，创新药企的质量突飞猛进，逐步受到全球认可。除了进军欧美市场外，创新药企也逐渐关注东南亚等新兴蓝海市场，积极探索新兴市场与成熟市场的同步申报。作为创新药企，其国际化布局应深度融入产品的管线制定周期中，进行宏观架构建设；并寻求具备全产业链能力的合作伙伴，通过其专业的本地注册临床人才、生产能力、商业化团队，以专业高效推动产品商业化落地，为提升优质医疗在更广阔区域的可及性带来更高效的可能。圆桌对话三：扬帆起航-医药出海到新兴市场第三场对话由君联资本董事总经理洪坦先生主持，与多名知名券商医药研究负责人与投资机构代表围绕创新药产品出海和产业出海进行了洞察分享与深入讨论。讨论中指出，当前中国医药产业正处于迈向国际市场拓展的战略机遇期，知识产权（IP）授权模式已初步验证了中国创新的全球竞争力，但对于大多数本土药企而言，这一过程仍停留在"单点突破"阶段。若要实现从"一次性授权"到"永续深耕"的跨越，需以跨国药企巨头为镜，将销售、生产、研发三大核心体系国际化，构建可复制、可扩张、可持续的国际产业闭环。但这一目标的实现绝非易事。在新兴市场的探索中，不少中国药企已展开尝试，但普遍面临渠道碎片化、体系难以统一等挑战。唯有以坚定的信念，建立系统的国际化全链路生态，方能把偶发的授权收益转化为长期的品牌与价值链掌控力，在全球竞争中赢得持续话语权。论坛的聚光灯虽已熄灭，但凝聚的共识如灯塔般照亮前路：东南亚、中东等新兴市场正成为全球医药产业下一个目的地，而康哲药业构筑的"研、产、销、投"全链条本地化架构已为产业化出海铺路架桥，建构通途。集团愿以开放共赢的姿态，携手全球创新者、监管机构与资本力量，助力更多中国和全球创新药落地新兴市场，实现国际化发展。康哲药业诚邀全球各界伙伴共享亚太市场增长机遇，共同推动新兴市场医药产业创新发展，让更多创新药物惠及全球患者。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

FAIRFORD, UK, July 18, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics is taking a bold step toward rapidly delivering a European Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) - based on a mature U.S. platform, assembled in Europe, with European mission systems - by aligning its independent U.S. and German aerospace affiliates under a teamed operation.YFQ-42AThe new aircraft is derived from the U.S. Air Force's YFQ-42A prototype, currently in ground testing and scheduled for first flight later this summer, designed and built by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) in San Diego, Calif. European mission system customization and manufacturing in Europe will be supported by General Atomics' German aerospace affiliate, General Atomics Aerotec Systems GmbH (GA-ATS), headquartered in Oberpfaffenhofen, near Munich.Leveraging the prior investments of these established aerospace companies on both sides of the Atlantic provides a jump start for European uncrewed fighter development and a pathway to meet the speedy acquisition timelines set by European nations. It also provides an established path for further international collaboration efforts and indigenous defense partnerships, based on both companies' previous successes in global aircraft delivery."We're eager to combine our uncrewed aircraft system expertise with the airborne sensor and weapons system expertise of the European defense industry, starting with our own affiliate GA Aerotec Systems GmbH in Germany," said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. "With a proven CCA design already in production today, these systems will be delivered in significant quantity with high-technology European inputs to build and sustain affordable mass for NATO's fighter forces."GA-ASI is the world's foremost builder of unmanned aerial systems, delivering more than 1,200 aircraft over three decades and supporting a net fleet operation approaching 9 million flight hours. The company has pioneered three types of unmanned combat jets, including the groundbreaking MQ-20 Avenger® (2009) and the U.S. Air Force's XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station (2024). Its YFQ-42A fighter was rapidly developed from the XQ-67A baseline and is expected to fly only 18 months after its predecessor.International collaboration is a significant focus for General Atomics. GA-ASI aircraft are flown by the US, the U.K., Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands, Japan, India and many other customers around the world. GA-ASI's high-value supply chain for UAS extends deeply into these partner nations, where major airframe components, subsystems, and complete sensor payloads are manufactured.GA-ATS is a German aircraft manufacturing and Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul company. Aircraft have been manufactured and serviced on the company site for more than 40 years. The company conducts MRO on NH-90 helicopters for the German military; builds, sustains, and modifies the Do-228 multi-role aircraft; and performs engine overhaul on the TPE-331-10 turboprop engine, common to both Do-228 and MQ-9A/B unmanned aircraft.A new Collaborative Combat Aircraft for Europe, leveraging the YFQ-42A baseline, will benefit from these previous successes, Blue explained."European nations are essential and irreplaceable allies for the United States and our company," he said. "We will supply a mature aircraft baseline already well along in its development, and we'll look forward to German and other European national partnerships to bring these aircraft online in European and NATO air forces as the Continent grows a new generation of highly capable defense systems."About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging nearly 9 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

HONG KONG, July 16, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong's cultural and creative industries have welcomed a new wave of talent. Organized by the Innovative Entrepreneur Association (“IEA”) and sponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (“CCIDA”), the Hong Kong Picture Book Publishing Support Programme (“HKPSP” or the “Programme”) has successfully nurtured eight local illustrators to create internationally appealing silent books through a rigorous selection process. These works previously debuted at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair and the Beijing International Book Fair, where they garnered widespread attention. This week, they will be presented to local readers at the Hong Kong Book Fair 2025. Subsequently, the works will be displayed at other major international book fairs, marking the official entry of Hong Kong picture books onto the global stage and showcasing the city’s creative and cultural prowess to the international publishing community.Picture books are a key growth driver for the global publishing industry. Through a combination of simple text and illustrations, they can effectively enhance children's language skills, a benefit that is widely recognized. Visual storytelling and interpretation also aid in children's cognitive development. Additionally, picture books stimulate observation, creativity, and emotional understanding and serve as excellent educational tools. They provide opportunities for parents and children to bond through shared reading. Outstanding picture books transcend age barriers and are beloved by readers of all ages.With sponsorship from the CCIDA, the IEA launched the HKPSP to provide comprehensive support to local illustrators and publishers. The Programme encourages the creation and publication of high-quality picture books, both with and without text.

Illustrators – Hong Kong Picture Book Illustrators International Book Fair Promotion Programme" are as follows:1. Keung (Keung Chi Kit), a popular Hong Kong children's comic artist. His book Life of a Painting tells the story of how the value and meaning of a canvas changes in the hands of different people, illustrating that the worth of an object depends on the perception of its owner.2. Amy Chai, a Hong Kong illustrator, whose work The Perfect Journey of Lily the Butterfly conveys the importance of cherishing the present and enjoying every beautiful experience.3. Isatisse (Isabel Tong), a Hong Kong illustrator, presents Just Close Your Eyes, a story that encourages readers to face and overcome their challenges.4. Threefire (Ceci Chow), an illustrator and animator, whose book Flow Flow Flow explores the idea of living freely and joyfully.5. Karman Chiu, a picture book creator, presents My Sadness Swallows Me Up – a story about a girl dealing with the loss of her beloved cat.6. Michelle Fung, a cross-media artist, whose work The Ice Queen tells the story of an ice queen who takes action to protect her damaged kingdom.7. Nalok.Lok, a committee member of the Hong Kong Society of Illustrators and a therapeutic picture book artist.

With the generous support of the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency, we have been able to help eight exceptionally creative illustrators transform their ideas into internationally competitive works. Each creator uses the unique medium of silent books to break language barriers and tell universal stories through visual language. These works not only showcase the social awareness of Hong Kong artists, but also demonstrate the potential of local creations to captivate global audiences. We hope to leverage platforms such as book fair workshops to allow more parents and children to experience the charm of Hong Kong picture books firsthand, while actively expanding our overseas distribution networks to showcase Hong Kong’s creative power to the world.
