一系列經過謀算的風險如何讓一位BNY高管走上美國最古老銀行的C級管理層

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   在全球金融服務的高風險舞台上，大多數高管會認為，離開一家藍籌公司長達26年的任期，投身於大流行時期首次公開募股（IPO）的不確定性中，是鲁莽之舉。但對凱瑟琳卡·瓦爾斯特倫（Cathinka Wahlstrom）而言，這是本能反應。 如今擔任紐約銀行（Bank of New York, BNY）首席商業官的瓦爾斯特倫，從合夥人一躍成為美國最古老銀行的高管層，這為現代領導力提供了一個範例，融合了遠見、對不確定性的容納以及成長。 她的職業生涯充滿轉折點。她在事業如日中天之際離開了埃森哲（Accenture）。她不止一次跨洲遷徙。孩子年幼時她拒絕了日本的一個職位，後來又同意在全球危機期間將一家私募股權支撐的公司帶向上市。每個決定都反映了在確定性和成長之間的一貫權衡。 瓦爾斯特倫加入埃森哲時，它還作為合夥企業運營。隨著公司發展成為全球上市公司，她的職責也隨之擴大。起初在金融服務領域從事深入的技術工作，後來演變為管理重要客戶關係和擔任需要她跨越市場、文化和組織層面思考的領導職務。她學會了在複雜系統中運作，在那裡決策會波及客戶、團隊和機構。 隨著時間推移，她的工作從解決孤立交錯的問題轉向理解相互依賴性，以及一個領域的選擇如何越來越多地影響另一個領域的結果。她能異常清晰地看到自己的未來，包括工作的形態和未來的進展。 “我能看到自己在埃森哲未來十年的樣子，”瓦爾斯特倫說，“我就是知道自己已準備好迎接下一個階段——儘管還不太清楚那個下一個階段具體是什麼。”她說，那種清晰感標誌著精通。留下來意味著優化瓦爾斯特倫已經掌握的知識，而離開則意味著 embrace 新學習曲線帶來的脆弱性。 機會在大流行期間以一家黑石集團（Blackstone）支撐的準備上市公司的首席商業官職位形式到來，瓦爾斯特倫說這個職位在不同層面考驗了她：少了些諮詢性質，多了些結果的承擔。 那次經歷為接下來的事情鋪平了道路。當紐約銀行（BNY）向她伸出橄欖枝時，挑戰完全不同。這家成立於1784年的銀行的核心優勢是長壽。瓦爾斯特倫被招募來是要在不破壞穩定的前提下實現現代化。她的任務是升級技術、演變文化，並在保留使機構得以持續近240年的基礎的同時，擴大銀行對年輕客戶群的相關性。 如今，瓦爾斯特倫說她在組織的縫隙中工作，那裡是數據與判斷交匯、戰略與執行交匯、全球計劃與本地現實交匯之處。例如利用人工智能更好地理解客戶體驗、找出摩擦點並識別新興機會。 按順序來看，瓦爾斯特倫說她的職業生涯經歷了從穩定到不確定再到更新的過程。她說，這個弧線反映了領導力越來越需要的東西：在矛盾中生活的能力。領導者必須同時擁有遠見和細節，將分析嚴謹性與情商相結合，在全球謀劃的同時立足本地行動。 “我真的被設定遠見、擬定計劃然後執行的過程所驅動，”瓦爾斯特倫說，“我就是熱愛這個過程。”本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

比爾·蓋茨遠非美國最大的私人地產擁有者。是‘沉默的斯坦’克倫克，他是沃爾瑪的女婿兼洛杉磯公羊隊的老板

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   史丹·克倫克（Stan Kroenke）是包括洛杉磯公羊隊（Los Angeles Rams）和倫敦阿仙奴足球俱樂部（London’s Arsenal Football Club）在內多支體育俱樂部的億萬富翁擁有者，他可以自誇另一個頭銜。據《土地報告》（The Land Report）本周發布的一份報導，這位科羅拉多州的房地產大亨曾因不願意接受媒體採訪而被稱為“”，如今是美國最大的私人地產擁有者。克倫克擁有270萬英畝土地，大約相當於200萬個足球場的面積，比遼闊的約塞米蒂國家公園（Yosemite National Park）還要大。克倫克的排名從2025年的第4位飛升至榜首，他的土地持有量大幅增加，主要得益於去年12月從工業集團Singleton家族後面購買了93.7萬英畝的牧場土地。這是美國十多年來最大的一次土地購買。克倫克的房地產帝國起源於的成功，而不僅僅是因為他自1974年與沃爾瑪（Walmart）女繼承人安·沃爾頓·克倫克（Ann Walton Kroenke）的婚姻。這位體育和房地產大亨通過，尤其是那些以大型零售商為核心吸引力的專案，賺得了他的第一桶金。在過去一年中，克倫克超過了排名第二的其他億萬富翁，以及排名第三的媒體大亨泰德·透納（Ted Turner）。經營森林產品公司Sierra Pacific Industries的埃默森（Emmerson）家族擁有約240萬英畝土地，其中大部分是林地。擁有27.5萬英畝土地的比爾·蓋茨（Bill Gates）排名第44位。（他使用自己的資產，其中大部分是通過他的投資集團Cascade Investment擁有的農田。）名單上的許多人除了擁有驚人的財富外，還共同追求購買農地——包括牧場和林地——這是超級富豪用來保護財富、對抗通貨膨脹和一些傳統資產波動的一種手段。根據美國農業部（U.S. Department of Agriculture）的資料，2025年美國農地的平均價值約為每英畝4350美元，同比上漲4.3%，扣除通貨膨脹因素後接近2%。目前美國近40%的農地由地主擁有，他們將土地租給農民和經營者。農業房地產公司Peoples Company的總裁史蒂夫·布魯爾（Steve Bruere）表示，由於越來越受歡迎，農地已經成為一個價值4.3萬億美元的資產類別。布魯爾告訴：“如果你認為你想要多元化，而且你也認為我們會有潛在的通貨膨脹——這正是很多人現在想要的——那麼農地對他們來說是一個很好的選擇。”克倫克透過他的控股公司，沒有立即回應的置評請求。農地資產類別的興起2008年金融危機激發了投資者尋找替代投資的迫切願望，美國的超級富豪轉向農地來多元化他們的投資組合，就像今天的投資者從黃金到私人信貸等，尋找對抗人工智能驅動市場崩潰恐懼的手段。就像20世紀70年代的那樣，今天的投資者大量購買農地作為對抗通貨膨脹的 hedge，一種實體資產，由於是有限資源，能夠保持並增值。畢竟，農地價值與通貨膨脹呈正相關——意味著隨著通貨膨脹上升，農地價值會上漲——且與市場無關。投資者中還有一種理論，由於人口增長、收入增加，因此對食品和燃料的需求上升，農場只會變得更有價值。布魯爾說：“獲得一些全球可耕地面積每年都在減少的農地，這就是很多人喜歡它的原因。”布魯爾說，這還包括將土地租給農民的被動收入，其中很多農民沒有資金購買自己的土地。全國年輕農民聯盟（National Young Farmers Coalition）的政策宣傳主任艾琳·福斯特·韋斯特（Erin Foster West）表示，許多農民無法購買他們工作的土地，只能選擇租賃。農地租賃價格的上漲速度比購買土地的價格更為溫和，使其成為一個有吸引力的選擇：根據資料，去年美國耕地的平均租金上漲到每英畝161美元，同比僅上漲0.6%。但從事農業的農民很難與克倫克等財大氣粗的人物競爭。聽頂級分析師、Fundstrat的湯姆·李（Tom Lee）描述這種情況，農業自20世紀20年代閃凍食品發明以來就沒有恢復過來。他最近在參加的播客節目中表示，在閃凍釋放了更多人的時間之前，農業佔經濟的40%。李說：“它讓人們得以重新定位，並創造了一個全新的勞動力。”對於當代美國的農民來說，他們很難在與“沉默的史丹”等對手競標農地時出更高的價。福斯特·韋斯特告訴：“這使得農民更難競爭，尤其是那些試圖獲得第一塊農場的初創農民，甚至是那些想要擴大規模的現有農民。”本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

這位執行長表示，富裕家庭支付他75萬美元，從五年級開始，讓他們的孩子進入常春藤盟校。他們著眼於「長達數世紀的時間跨度」

(SeaPRwire) -   大多數頂尖學府都以古老的建築為裝飾。學院哥德式風格給人一種這些機構經受住了時間考驗的感覺。事實上，許多確實如此。Harvard、Yale和Columbia歷經殖民統治，甚至在恐龍骨骼被發現之前就已存在。它們熬過了法國印第安戰爭、美國獨立戰爭和南北戰爭。這種堅韌不拔的韌性，正是招生專家們認為頂尖學府的價值不會在短期內貶值的原因，儘管人們擔心人工智慧（AI）正如Goldman Sachs所警告的那樣，正在「」降低大學學位的價值。 Ivy Link的執行長兼創辦人，早在五年級就開始幫助學生準備大學入學。該公司向每位客戶收取10萬至75萬美元不等的費用——Nguyen形容這筆金額對許多家庭來說「甚至連零頭都算不上」。 Nguyen曾是Harvard和Columbia的招生內部人士，自己也是Harvard Law School的畢業生，他幫助家庭在孩子們上大學前數年就建立他們的成績單，提供從參與哪些課外活動到就讀哪些頂尖高中等各方面的建議。他駁斥了當前關於大學學位在AI時代正在失去價值的擔憂。 「這些家庭，他們不看趨勢，不看當前新聞週期，甚至不看校園抗議，」Nguyen告訴。「他們看的是數十年，甚至是數百年的時間跨度。」 全球菁英如何尋求常春藤盟校入學協助 Nguyen將他的客戶描述為「全球菁英」，客戶範圍從風險投資和財富管理領域的領軍人物，到好萊塢賣座電影編劇，甚至還有「世界著名的EDM DJ」。對於這些家庭來說，Nguyen表示大學並非短期消費，而是對家庭財富的長期投資。 隨著AI的興起以及全國大學校園內從到的一系列爭議，美國人對頂尖學府的看法已經惡化（儘管從2024年的低谷有所回升），許多人質疑四年制學位的價值主張。但是，正如招聘人員不再認為「你去哪裡不那麼重要」並轉向，Nguyen表示菁英家庭可能一直都是對的。 許多富裕家庭將大學視為一枚金星，可以終生佩戴以維持其地位。「他們使用Ivy Link不一定是為了購買聲望，而是為了減少不確定性，並確保他們的孩子被看見，擁有那個將持續一生的品牌。」 這些家庭一次又一次地轉向全國最頂尖的大學。「這些機構經歷了多個週期、多種趨勢，並持續作為篩選機制，」Nguyen說。「歸根結底，我們絕大多數客戶仍然傾向於頂尖大學。」 擺脫對AI的恐懼 Nguyen表示，他的客戶並不相信自動化有一天會讓學位變得毫無意義。他指出，由於招聘過程充斥著AI生成的申請，招聘人員越來越依賴品牌名稱來區分不同的候選人。「我採訪過的雇主已經訴諸——作為第一道篩選機制——查看他們的學歷，」Nguyen說。 最近的招聘趨勢證實了這一觀點。根據招聘情報公司Veris Insights進行的研究（此前由Wall Street Journal報導），一項針對150多家公司的2025年調查發現，超過四分之一的公司從少數幾所學校招聘，高於2022年的17%。如今，公司從全國近4,000所大學中約30所學校招聘，首先考慮頂尖大學，然後是公司辦公室附近的學校。 Ivy Link的客戶繼續在法律、科技新創公司和金融相關領域擔任職位，從投資銀行到風險投資。AI已經威脅到這些學生努力進入的許多行業。然而，Nguyen表示，AI的興起使得頂尖學府的學位變得更加重要。 「為了畢業，為了獲得那些中級、更有經驗的工作，你必須掌握AI正在消除的基礎知識，」他說。「傳統教育仍然很重要。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Vail Resorts 今年遇上極度乾旱：該公司報告稱積雪量創歷史新低，迫使下調2026年獲利預測

邁阿密（Miami）與印第安納（Indiana）的冠軍賽讓球迷們為每個座位支付高達3萬美元

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   週一在邁阿密舉行的大學美式足球全國冠軍賽，門票價格屢創新高。來自邁阿密大學的弱旅將與印第安納大學對決，預計總統唐納德·特朗普將在近6.5萬名觀眾之列。 根據分析主要二手市場銷售情況的Victory Live的數據，截至週四，平均門票價格為4000美元，幾乎是去年決賽可比價格的兩倍。在二手轉售網站上，門票掛牌價高達3萬美元，高級停車位單獨售價高達9000美元。本週早些時候，playoffpremium.com以120萬美元的價格推銷帶有18張門票的中場套房。 這種熱潮是由龐大的當地校友群和引人入勝的故事線推動的，比如印第安納大學獲得海斯曼獎的四分衛費爾南多·門多薩回到南佛羅里達打球，他的古巴血統吸引了新的觀眾。 這場大學體育決賽令人咋舌的門票價格與超級碗或世界盃後期比賽相當。邁阿密大學是進入季後賽排名最低的球隊，卻逆勢挺進決賽。巧合的是，這場比賽原定在該隊主場硬石體育場舉行。 邁阿密大學的官方銀行——佛羅里達城市國家銀行（City National Bank of Florida）的首席執行官兼副董事長豪爾赫·岡薩雷斯表示：“門票一票難求。我們承辦過超級碗、一級方程式賽車等各種活動，但這可能是我見過需求最旺盛的門票。” 該銀行擁有幾個套房和一些門票，岡薩雷斯一直不斷接到客戶希望獲得門票的電話。他估計，每收到20個請求，他們只能滿足一個客戶。 岡薩雷斯在一次採訪中說：“我已經不再回覆短信和電話了。” 沒有渠道的當地球迷面臨著飛漲的費用。上層看台頂部最便宜的門票售價約為3000美元。 圍繞這場活動的熱潮也凸顯了邁阿密作為全球重大體育和娛樂中心的地位日益重要，當地人和遊客都願意為現場活動花錢。僅硬石體育場就承辦一級方程式賽車、邁阿密公開賽網球賽、邁阿密海豚隊主場比賽和無數音樂會。今年夏天，它還將承辦七場世界盃比賽。 卡洛斯·德爾·波塔爾在邁阿密大學“海盜隊”挺進決賽的四天前，通過該校為季票持有者分配的門票獲得了兩張週一比賽的門票，他簡直不敢相信自己的運氣。 一旦邁阿密大學進入決賽，二手轉售價格就開始飆升。 住在佛羅里達州朱庇特的德爾·波塔爾說：“我從沒想過我們能像這樣晉級，我們一進入決賽，價格在五秒內就漲到了三倍，而且還在繼續上漲。” 由於二手轉售價格如此之高，德爾·波塔爾願意出售門票，但只願以合適的價格出售。他不願透露自己的門票花了多少錢，但根據目前的市場價格，他希望以七倍的價格出售。（一位不願透露姓名的季票持有者從邁阿密大學以850美元的價格購得了體育場一樓的門票。） 那些幸運獲得門票的人仍然要面對停車問題，二手轉售網站上最便宜的場內停車位售價接近400美元。前往體育場的公共交通非常有限，該體育場位於邁阿密市中心以北約15英里處，這意味著要避免昂貴的停車費，就只能選擇昂貴的計程車、擁堵的交通和長距離步行。 硬石體育場和邁阿密海豚隊的老闆斯蒂芬·羅斯週三在接受彭博新聞社採訪時淡化了該場地的停車和交通挑戰，強調願意付費的人可以使用高級通道。 他說：“生活中，如果你想要別人沒有的東西，就得花錢。”本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

星際大戰換新主帥，凱薩琳·肯尼迪結束13年賺錢卻不安的任期，戴夫·菲洛尼接棒

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   在盧卡斯影業（Lucasfilm）掌舵超過13年後，凱薩琳·肯尼迪（Kathleen Kennedy）即將離開這家由喬治·盧卡斯（George Lucas）創立的「星際大戰」工廠。 華特迪士尼公司（The Walt Disney Co.）周四宣布，將轉而由戴夫·菲洛尼（Dave Filoni）擔任「星際大戰」的總裁兼首席創意官，引領這個系列進入第六個十年及以後。菲洛尼此前擔任盧卡斯影業的首席商業官，他將與盧卡斯影業業務總裁兼總經理林文·布倫南（Lynwen Brennan）共同擔任聯合總裁，接下這個電影標誌性系列的重擔。 肯尼迪表示：「當喬治·盧卡斯在退休時邀請我接手盧卡斯影業時，我從沒想過未來會是什麼樣子。能與盧卡斯影業的傑出才華共事超過十年，真是極大的榮幸。」 肯尼迪是盧卡斯親自挑選的接班人，自2012年迪士尼收購盧卡斯影業以來，她一直主導著不斷擴張的「星際大戰」科幻世界。在宣布周四的消息時，華特迪士尼公司首席執行官羅伯·艾格（Bob Iger）稱她為「有遠見的電影製作人」。 肯尼迪主導了「星際大戰」歷史上一個非常賺錢但經常充滿爭議的時期，推出了 blockbuster 三部曲和受歡迎的流媒體衍生作品如《曼達洛人》（The Mandalorian）等，但也越來越讓老粉絲感到失望。 在肯尼迪的管理下，盧卡斯影業累計票房超過56億美元，並幫助建立了迪士尼+作為流媒體目的地——這些成就輕易證明了迪士尼斥資40.5億美元收購該公司是值得的。但肯尼迪也難以再現盧卡斯在20世紀70年代末和80年代初原創三部曲中捕捉到的大銀幕魔力，她與「星際大戰」忠實粉絲的關係也成了一段自己的傳奇。 菲洛尼幾乎完全在小屏幕上建立了自己的地位，他通過動畫系列《星際大戰：克隆人戰爭》（Star Wars: The Clone Wars）進入這個系列，並創作了反應平平的迪士尼+系列《阿索卡》（Ahsoka）。菲洛尼最初與盧卡斯合作《降世神通：最後的氣宗》（Avatar: The Last Airbender），還曾擔任《曼達洛人》（The Mandalorian）、《波巴·費特之書》（The Book of Boba Fett）和《骷髏船》（Skeleton Crew）的執行製片人。 兩人都將向迪士尼娛樂聯合主席艾倫·伯格曼（Alan Bergman）匯報。 菲洛尼表示：「從蕾伊（Rey）到格羅古（Grogu），凱西（Kathy） oversee 了星際大戰史上最偉大的屏幕敘事擴張。我非常感謝凱西、喬治、羅伯·艾格和艾倫·伯格曼的信任，給我機會以新角色領導盧卡斯影業，做著我真正熱愛的工作。原力與你同在。」 在加入盧卡斯影業之前，肯尼迪是好萊塢最成功的製片人之一。1981年，她與史蒂文·斯皮爾伯格（Steven Spielberg）和最終的丈夫弗兰克·馬歇爾（Frank Marshall）共同創立了安培林娛樂（Amblin Entertainment）。她製作了《E.T.外星人》（E.T.）、《印第安納·瓊斯與魔宮傳奇》（Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom）、《侏羅紀公園》（Jurassic Park）和《回到未來》（Back to the Future）三部曲。 在盧卡斯影業，她最初的大獲成功是2015年由J·J·艾布拉姆斯（J.J. Abrams）執導的電影，全球票房超過20億美元。但接下來的《星球大戰：最後的絕地武士》（Star Wars: The Last Jedi，2017年）引發了激烈爭議。第三部電影，艾布拉姆斯的《星球大戰：天行者崛起》（Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker，2019年）遭到評論家和粉絲的廣泛批評。 在《星球大戰：天行者崛起》之後，「星際大戰」在大銀幕上沉寂，儘管有大量已宣布的專案。這種乾旱將在5月被喬恩·法夫羅（Jon Favreau）的《曼達洛人與格羅古》（The Mandalorian & Grogu）打破。中間的幾年在《曼達洛人》和《安多》（Andor）的流媒體成功中度過，但「星際大戰」的未來越來越不明朗。 在基調和視覺上的爭鬥經常發生。《星球大戰外傳：韓索羅》（Solo: A Star Wars Story）在製作過程中解雇了導演菲爾·洛德（Phil Lord）和克里斯托弗·米勒（Christopher Miller），由朗·霍華德（Ron Howard）取代。大多數人認為混合後的結果平淡無奇，令人失望。 最近，在最新「星際大戰」三部曲中扮演凱洛·倫/本·索羅的亞當·德賴弗（Adam Driver）去年透露，他和史蒂文·索德伯格（Steven Soderbergh）在肯尼迪和盧卡斯影業的支持下開發了一部本·索羅的電影，持續了兩年，直到迪士尼首席羅伯·艾格否決了它。粉絲非常憤怒，一架飛機飛過迪士尼伯班克工作室，拉著寫有「拯救《追捕本·索羅》」的横幅。 相反，肯尼迪管理下的「星際大戰」電影中，唯一獲得粉絲廣泛和普遍贊譽的可能是2016年的《星球大戰外傳：俠盜一號》（Rogue One: A Star Wars Story）。加雷斯·埃文斯（Gareth Edwards）的衍生作品製作也很坎坷，導致最終創作《安多》的托尼·吉羅伊（Tony Gilroy）監督重拍。然而，儘管如此，《俠盜一號》——發生在「星際大戰」世界但不在主要絕地故事線中——可能是肯尼迪主導的「星際大戰」時期唯一一部既保持了太空史詩基調又開創新局的電影。 未來幾年，肯尼迪的影響將繼續在許多「星際大戰」專案中體現。包括肖恩·利維（Shawn Levy）的《星際大戰：星際戰鬥機》（Star Wars: Starfighter），由瑞安·高斯林（Ryan Gosling）主演，預計2027年5月上映，以及其他處於不同開發階段的專案。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

(SeaPRwire) -   會議是企業的暗能量：常見、強大且大多數時候看不見。塑造公司方向的推理與判斷發生在會議中，但隨後就消失了。電子郵件將情境化溝通轉化為組織的工作記憶；現在AI也在會議中做同樣的事，讓對話在會議結束後仍可使用。它將會議從時間中的片刻轉變為一種新型的組織資產。 會議記錄 會議包含很少進入正式系統的資訊：領導者如何權衡取捨、為何決定會走向某個方向而非另一個、誰服從誰，以及異議如何解決。公司將策略文件視為關鍵智慧財產，但核心決策過程同樣有價值，且更難捕捉。領導者經常試圖以書面形式近似記錄這些，但很少能捕捉到決策實際如何發展。 領導的智慧財產在會議室中產生，隨後便消失不見。 我們也能感受到單純的損失：做出的決定未被記錄、承諾逐漸消失、爭論重複進行，因為人們忘記的不僅是決定了什麼，還有如何決定的。手寫會議記錄具有主觀性，且僅記錄了其中一小部分。即使是完整的記錄稿，在捕捉會議含義方面也不太實用；重要資訊很少被整合、分析或分發。 如今許多人使用AI來總結會議錄音，並生成（有時分享）有用的會議數據：誰負責什麼、爭議發生在何處、誰有說服力的論點，以及下次會議議程應包含什麼。然而，這只是AI應用於會議的開始。所有這些資訊都能在更大規模上為企業帶來好處。 商業價值 未記錄的會議資訊在會議結束後就開始「融化」。然而，AI提取將其固化為基礎數據。決定、理由和模式變得持久。它們的知識價值像磚塊一樣堆疊，而非冰塊。第一次，會議中說的話變成組織實際可以建立的知識——就像電子郵件使日常溝通可存檔且持久一樣。 我們可以將這些數據與組織已知的其他內容結合：文件、CRM、電子郵件和合同。這種結合是新價值浮現的地方。當會議智慧流入與其他內容相同的語料庫時，其信號會被放大。 如今有些組織正在這麼做。在一家大型支付和金融服務公司，領導者彙總團隊和客戶會議錄音，分析對話中的模式，以發現逐次會議難以或無法察覺的新興需求和產品點子。領導層不再依賴軼事式的回憶，而是透過互動來了解客戶信號的變化，從而為產品開發提供資訊。 定期舉行的高管決策會議可以成為一個活的檔案，不僅記錄做出了什麼決定，還記錄如何做出決定：哪些論點和數據起了作用。這可以使整個公司的決策更加順利和一致。隨著組織開始系統地捕捉會議智慧，團隊動態將發生變化。首先，決策重審會減少，因為該功能保留了推理過程。入職速度加快，因為新員工可以看到團隊實際的思考方式，而不僅僅是書面政策。 個人採用AI會議記錄工具是因為它們能改善會議。但商業價值遠不止於更好的會議；它是我們可以建立的組織知識。 領導者現在應該做什麼 每個持久的知識系統最終都會重塑決策制定和工作完成的方式。想想電子郵件如何改變了工作的形態。AI會議智慧將遵循同樣的道路，領導者可以加速這一轉變。 如果僅靠個人採用，會議智慧可能會保持碎片化。其價值雖然顯著，但仍局限於生產力，無法實現業務轉型。戰略收益不會實現。 要釋放會議智慧的商業價值，領導者需要將會議記錄視為基礎設施，而非某些員工碰巧使用的工具。當記錄、總結和分享在整個組織中常態化時，早期好處隨之而來：更透明的問責制、更少的返工和更好的決策跟進。 轉型從提供AI會議工具、向員工解釋其直接好處以及鼓勵使用開始。一開始，廣泛使用AI進行記錄、總結和分享的好處應該會帶來不斷增長的問責文化和其他員工福利，例如減少返工和更容易跟進。 將會議記錄視為基礎設施不僅意味著用它來提高個人與團隊的會議生產力。當會議智慧被一致捕捉時，組織可以對該數據應用AI分析，以辨別決策、爭論和取捨之間的業務因果關係。 這種整合需要一個共享、可靠的會議數據基礎作為依託。現在開始捕捉會議數據的公司將在工具成熟時具備使用先進分析的條件；那些將會議AI工具留給個人與團隊的公司將沒有共享的背景可以依託。 第二，我們需要 決定會議資訊應如何分享和使用。我們曾在電子郵件和文件方面處理過類似的問題：一旦新形式的知識變得持久，規範和治理就會隨之而來。這裡也會發生同樣的事情。 會議數據只有在人們了解其使用方式並能看到自身好處時，才會成為企業資產。我們必須考慮捕捉什麼、如何保留以及如何管理訪問權限。當這些選擇明確時，會議智慧更有可能加強合作和分析，而非產生摩擦。 最後，領導者需要刻意建立明顯利用這一新資產的流程。機會不僅在於捕捉對話，還在於建立新的節奏，轉化為可重複使用的指南、行為和機構記憶。 從短暫到持久 管理累積的會議智慧是一個新領域。目前沒有既定的指南說明如何隨著時間的推移整合它或在此基礎上發展。首先弄清楚這一點的組織將會累積優勢，就像那些快速轉向電子郵件的公司一樣。那些不這麼做的公司將繼續丟失它們一直丟失的相同知識——只是有更好的記錄稿而已。 這種轉變不會自動發生。它需要領導者認識到會議已經從短暫變為持久，並準備好建立系統和文化來捕捉這一價值。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

New-look TGR-WRT launches landmark campaign on legendary rally

jcn

TOKYO, Jan 16, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A new-look TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team will begin its 10th season of competition when the 2026 FIA World Rally Championship gets underway with the iconic Rallye Monte-Carlo on January 22-25.2026 GR YARIS Rally1After a record-breaking 2025 campaign, TGR-WRT enters this year with the goal to successfully defend its manufacturers’, drivers’ and co-drivers’ titles. Not resting on its laurels, the team continues to work on improving the all-conquering GR YARIS Rally1 car, which also sports a striking new red, white and black livery.Making use of the homologation jokers available for the final season of the current Rally1 regulations, the team has focused on developments around aerodynamics and suspension. These include a new rear wing (fitted to the three manufacturer entries for round one) while the introduction of new parts to the suspension system allows for greater setup possibilities.The team once more counts on a strong and exciting driver line-up with all five GR YARIS Rally1 crews in action on round one.Sébastien Ogier claimed a record-equalling ninth world championship in a thrilling conclusion to the 2025 season, guided by co-driver Vincent Landais. He is also the most successful driver in the long history of Rallye Monte-Carlo, which is based in his hometown of Gap in the French Alps, having achieved his 10th victory one year ago.Before the start of the rally at Monaco Harbour on Thursday, a new special edition GR Yaris marking Ogier’s ninth title will be unveiled, and displayed alongside the GR Yaris MORIZO RR that was created with TGR-WRT Chairman Akio Toyoda and revealed at Tokyo Auto Salon.Elfyn Evans embarks on his seventh successive full season with TGR-WRT, along with co-driver Scott Martin. Last year’s championship runners-up, they have finished on the podium four times at Rallye Monte-Carlo during their time with the team, including second place in 2025.Joining the line-up for the 2026 season are Oliver Solberg and co-driver Elliott Edmondson following their dominant run to last year’s WRC2 title in the GR Yaris Rally2 car plus victory on their GR YARIS Rally1 debut in Estonia. With six previous Rallye Monte-Carlo starts to his name, Solberg is the third final driver nominated to score manufacturers’ points for TGR-WRT.Also competing in a fourth car under the TGR-WRT banner are Takamoto Katsuta, looking to build upon a previous best finish of sixth on the event with co-driver Aaron Johnston. Sami Pajari meanwhile begins his second season under the TGR-WRT2 banner, with the goal to continue the strong progress he demonstrated during his rookie campaign last year alongside co-driver Marko Salminen.TGR-WRT’s commitment to supporting young drivers extends to the WRC Challenge Program. After demonstrating strong progress during 2025, the Program’s second-generation driver Yuki Yamamoto takes another step, embarking on a full season of WRC rallies driving a GR Yaris Rally2.Yamamoto’s is one of seven GR Yaris Rally2 cars entered on Rallye Monte-Carlo. Filip Mareš, Chris Ingram, Eliott Delecour (son of 1994 Rallye Monte-Carlo winner François), Olivier Burri and Johannes Keferböck are all registered within WRC2, with Paolo Vallivero also on the entry list.Rallye Monte-Carlo is famed for its often-changeable weather conditions which can bring ice and snow to the asphalt roads. Tyre choice can be crucial, with a wider range of rubber – some fitted with studs – available to suit the conditions. This year’s rally starts and finishes in Monaco’s harbour and, for the first time since 2008, includes a super special stage using part of the principality’s grand prix circuit.The action heads straight for the mountains on Thursday with three stages driven en route back to Gap, two of them in darkness. A trio of stages west of Gap are all run twice on Friday, while Saturday features three more mountain tests before the Monaco Circuit super special in the evening. A pair of repeated stages above Monaco form Sunday’s finale, including the rally-ending Power Stage over the famous Col de Turini.Quotes:Jari-Matti Latvala (Team Principal)“It’s always exciting to be starting a new season, whether you’re a driver, a team principal, or a fan. It’s interesting to see the level of the teams and the drivers and who looks in good shape for the year ahead. With the development work we’ve done on the suspension and the aerodynamics, our GR YARIS Rally1 should be strong, but we know that our rivals have been working hard to improve too. Rallye Monte-Carlo is the most difficult and stressful event of the season but also the most rewarding if you can reach the podium in Monaco. Sébastien has done that more times than anybody else and I know that, even after taking his ninth world title, he will still be hungry to win. Elfyn too showed incredible performance throughout last season and doesn’t really need to do anything differently to be a contender again this year. We’re also excited to have Oliver joining our line-up and to see what he, Taka and Sami can do during the season.” Elfyn Evans (Driver car 33)“After a short turnaround like always, I’m looking forward to the new season and to be hopefully fighting at the sharp end. I’m sure it’s going to be a competitive year and we will have to be at our best. There’s quite a lot of continuity in terms of the car and the tyres, and although we finished last season in a pretty good place, the team is always working to find improvements and that bit more performance that we as drivers are always asking for. Rallye Monte-Carlo is always a bit of an unknown in the sense that you cannot be sure beforehand what conditions you will face. It’s a huge challenge and it’s all about adapting as best as you can during the event.” Sébastien Ogier (Driver car 1)“It’s been nice to have some time to celebrate and appreciate what we achieved last year, but the focus is already on the new season when everyone starts again from zero. Even though I won’t be driving on every rally just as in the last few seasons, it’s still going to be quite an intense schedule. We will try to make the best of it together with this great team, which is always pushing hard to keep improving every year. As with every year, it’s exciting for me to start Rallye Monte-Carlo. It’s the rally that means the most to me and the one that made me dream, so it was a proud moment to win it for a 10th time last year. The target will be the same this time, but it never gets any easier.” Oliver Solberg (Driver car 99)“It’s a dream moment to be starting the new season as a Toyota Rally1 driver. I don’t have clear expectations in terms of results this year; I just want to do my job to the best of my ability and see how it goes. While I know the car quite well on gravel, I feel I still have some learning to do on asphalt. On this surface you feel a bigger difference from Rally2 to Rally1 machinery in terms of speed, but we’ve had some good testing and I have a very good feeling in the car. Rallye Monte-Carlo is an event that you just have to love, even if it’s really tricky and probably the most difficult rally of the year. It’s always a special experience and I’m really looking forward to it.” Takamoto Katsuta (Driver car 18)“It’s always special to be starting a new season in Monte Carlo. The conditions are some of the trickiest we face during the season, so the feeling beforehand can be quite mixed: you’re looking forward to it, but at the same time you never know what will happen. We need to have good communication with our route note crews, who are giving us the latest information about the conditions, which can change very quickly. In our pre-event test we had ice and snow but it was melting, so we could also see how the car and tyres were working on wet asphalt, and I could feel some good progress. My target this year is to deliver more results and I’m ready to give my best.” Sami Pajari (Driver car 5)“It’s an exciting feeling to be starting my second season with the Rally1 car. Last year was pretty much all about learning, as in most of the rallies it was my first time there with this car. Still, in the second half of the year things were clearly going better and better, and now I’m feeling much more ready to be competitive. The car is pretty much the same as last year, as are the tyres, and I feel much more confident in understanding what it’s capable of. Rallye Monte-Carlo is maybe the most challenging event of the season with the chance for a big range of different conditions, but I hope to have a good feeling and enjoy it.” Yuki Yamamoto (Driver WRC Challenge Program GEN2)“I’m really excited to start this new season full of WRC events. While previous years have been more about gathering experience, I think it’s time to start performing and building up the pace consistently. I believe we can have some good results this season and hopefully some podiums and victories within WRC2. Rallye Monte-Carlo is a special one, and last year on my first time there wasn’t easy for me with a lot of new conditions and challenges. I’m not registered for WRC2 points, but I hope to learn more about this event and show the speed where I can, being smart about where to push and where to avoid risks.”Map Rallye Monte-Carlo 2026(Please visit www.wrc.com for the latest.)  Copyright 2026 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Jamie Dimon 稱其成功歸因於「注重細節、不廢話、不開冗長會議」，因為自滿會扼殺公司

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   傑米·戴蒙（Jamie Dimon）對於經營公司的理念相當簡單：保持執著，不要忽視細節。他表示，當企業過於安逸並開始忽視細節時，自滿就會滋生，企業也會開始衰退。身為美國最大銀行的執行長，這家在全球擁有超過30萬名員工的企業掌門人，不可能親自處理公司裡的每個問題——因此他認為這種認真態度必須在每個階層紮根。戴蒙昨日在 演講時，被問及他如何讓JP成為「全球其他所有銀行之上」的存在，但這位執行長立即反駁此說法：「很多人做得比我們更好，」他開口道。 戴蒙補充表示，這種反思「是我們有時能稍微表現更好的原因之一」，並解釋：「我執著不懈：關注細節、事實、分析，不說廢話，不開無謂的會議接著會議，分享所有資訊——把事情攤在檯面上，把問題攤在檯面上——系統性地逐一檢視，走出去，拜訪其他公司，他們都有比你做得更好的地方。」 整體訊息是「學習、學習、再學習」，這是一位 向從剛進入職場的Z世代到領導階層所有人提出的建議。 「大企業會變慢，變得自滿、官僚…傲慢，」戴蒙補充道，所有這些最終都會導致「停滯與衰亡」。他表示，「龐大且優秀的企業」曾因這種陷阱失敗，因此「沒有什麼小事是不值得關注的」。 關注這位69歲企業家職業生涯的人，對他充滿幹勁的領導建議不會感到意外。去年4月，戴蒙在致股東信中提到，他心中有個名為「OODA循環」（觀察、定向、決策、行動）的概念。 沒有傑米的JP 在戴蒙的領導下，JP取得了許多成就：過去一年股價上漲21%，持續 ，且這位執行長能影響從立法者到川普（Trump）總統等各界人士的意見。 然而，戴蒙去年改變了他對「何時離開最高職位」這一問題的慣常回答，令投資者震驚。多年來，戴蒙總是開玩笑說自己還有五年退休。在 ，他表示：「不再是五年了。」 此後，外界紛紛猜測JPM高管團隊中誰將接下戴蒙的重擔。但本周這位高管的態度再度轉變。 當本周有人向戴蒙重提「再幹五年」的說法時，這位執行長回應「至少」，暗示他的離任絕非迫在眉睫。「我熱愛我的工作，能做多久由董事會決定，」他補充道。 戴蒙在JPM的成功（包括與政治人物和政策制定者的互動）引發許多人質疑，他是否有一天會轉戰國會山莊（Capitol Hill）。這位銀行高管徹底否認了參選總統的可能性，也排除了擔任聯準會主席（Fed chairman，鮑威爾（Jerome Powell）將於今春卸任此職）的可能。 「聯準會主席一職，我絕對、肯定、無論如何都不會考慮，」戴蒙本周重申。自川普重返白宮以來，聯準會主席一職的吸引力大幅下降，成為橢圓辦公室（Oval Office）批評的目標，並被遊說調整基準利率走向。 但戴蒙表示，財政部長（Treasury Secretary）一職他「會考慮」：「如果總統打電話請你做某事，你應該考慮。所以我會接電話、考慮，並思考他們的動機和需求，但他們想要什麼、如何運作對我來說很重要。」 「我喜歡我的工作，我幾乎有25年都是自己當老闆，我喜歡這樣的狀態。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

MHI Thermal Systems Expands Lineup of Building-Use Multi-Split Air-Conditioners for Overseas Markets

jcn

KXZ3 SeriesTOKYO, Jan 16, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd. (MHI Thermal Systems), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has expanded its lineup for the KXZ3 Series of building-use multi-split air-conditioners which use low-environmental impact R32 refrigerant, in response to increasing demand in overseas markets, and begun mass production. To complement the existing three units in 22.4-33.5 kW models, a total of seven units in 40.0-67.0 kW range have been added in response to increasing demand in overseas markets. Sales will begin this spring in Europe, with sequential sales launches in Australia, New Zealand, and Turkey.With the addition of the units, the maximum system capacity, which had been 168.0 kW in a combination of three individual 56.0 kW models with the existing KXZ2 Series, has been expanded to 201.0 kW. In addition, this series, by flexibly combining up to three models, can be used to build an optimal air conditioning system best suited to installation conditions and operational purposes. For example, in environments with numerous restrictions, such as buildings in urban centers, a space-saving installation is possible even with the same capacity by selecting unit combinations that reduce the required installation footprint. Meanwhile, selecting high-efficiency unit combination enhances energy-saving performance and operating efficiency, helping to reduce running costs over the long term. All models have a uniform height of 1,750 mm, which gives a sense of unity to the external appearance, and makes it easy to connect the units, design piping, and install and maintain systems.In addition, this series significantly reduces a system's environmental impact. Compared to the KXZ2 Series, which uses R410A refrigerant with a global warming potential (GWP)(1) of 2,088, the KXZ3 series uses R32 refrigerant, which has a GWP of 675, or about one-third that of the previous series. In terms of functionality, the energy efficiency has been improved with a new type of compressor and renewed air flow path design. Further, a "Variable Temperature & Capacity Control +" function has been added for a balance energy savings and indoor comfort, as well as a "hot gas bypass defrost" operating mode that lessens the fall in indoor temperature common with conventional defrosting operation.(2) MHI Thermal Systems also offers a lineup of dedicated safety devices that comply with European safety regulations. One such device, a shut-off valve that blocks the flow of refrigerant in the event of a refrigerant leak or other abnormality, is designed to accommodate multiple indoor units, helping to reduce installation costs.Consideration has also been given to the design. The 22.4-33.5 kW models released in Fiscal 2024 as the KXZ3 Series were highly praised for their exterior design that harmonizes with urban spaces, as well as their ability to reduce the environmental impact and achieve high energy savings. The series is characterized by a design that blends with the exterior environment, such as blue ornamentation, rounded corners, and flat panel surfaces, as well as its environmental performance. In recognition of this overall value, the KXZ3 Series received the A' Design Award 2025,(3) and the Australian Good Design Award.(4) The models added to the lineup also adhere to this design concept, achieving an integrated design with a sense of unity in their external appearance, even with combinations of units with different capacities or a large number of units.Going forward, MHI Thermal Systems will continue to offer solutions that combine energy efficiency and comfort in its air-conditioning business, including packaged and building-use air-conditioners for overseas markets, and contribute to the realization of carbon neutrality.(1) Global Warming Potential (GWP) is a coefficient of the greenhouse effect of a gas relative to carbon dioxide (CO2), which has a fixed GWP of 1.0. Smaller values indicate a lower greenhouse effect, and better environmental performance.(2) Conventional defrosting removes frost formed on the outdoor unit during heating operation. Because the airflow of the indoor unit stops during this operation, the indoor temperature may fall temporarily depending on the building conditions.(3) For more information on the awards received at A' Design Award 2025, see the following press release. https://www.mhi.com/news/25060401.html(4) For more information on the receipt of the Australian Good Design Award, see the following press release. https://www.mhi.com/news/25101701.htmlAbout MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

First three HKTDC trade fairs of 2026 draw some 82,000 international buyers

acn

HONG KONG, January 15, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 52nd HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, 17th HKTDC Hong Kong Baby Products Fair and 24th Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair concluded successfully today at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The Toys & Games Fair and Baby Products Fair were organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), while the Stationery & School Supplies Fair was jointly organised by the HKTDC and Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. The four-day physical fairs attracted some 82,000 buyers from 121 countries and regions, fostering cross-regional trade and cross-section cooperation. Opening to both trade buyers and the public, the newly launched “Pop & Play” pavilion was a big draw at the Toys & Games Fair and attracted some 10,000 public visits. The pavilion helped local toy brands connect with global buyers to expand into international markets, further unleashing the commercial potential of their IPs, while also enabling Chinese Mainland and overseas brands and IPs to engage directly with local fans of trendy toys and collectibles.Over 41,000 buyers visited the Toys & Games Fair, while some 27,000 and some 14,000 buyers attended the Baby Products Fair and Stationery & School Supplies Fair respectively. Buyers from outside Hong Kong primarily came from the Chinese Mainland, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand from the ASEAN bloc, Korea, India and the US. Buyers from nearby Macao, ASEAN’s Vietnam, Belgium and Poland from Europe and South Africa also recorded double-digit growth. The fairs adopted the HKTDC’s hybrid EXHIBITION+ model, which includes the physical shows along with online access through the Click2Match smart business matching platform, which will continue connecting exhibitors and buyers until 22 January.Jenny Koo, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director, said: “This year's trio of fairs brought together more than 2,600 exhibitors from 37 countries and regions, attracting 82,000 global buyers to attend and kickstarting the HKTDC's busy calendar of events in 2026. The new ‘Pop & Play’ pavilion at the Toys & Games Fair proved to be highly popular, showcasing 150 trendy IPs alongside various fair premieres and global limited-edition collectibles. Representatives from diverse industries and sectors were keen to explore the commercial potential of different IPs and discuss cross-industry collaboration opportunities. The pavilion was also open to members of the public, with large numbers of visitors checking in, snapping photos and engaging directly with exhibitors. We believe the fair can amplify IP value through cultural integration, brand collaborations and market strategies, helping local brands to take their businesses beyond Hong Kong and onto the international stage."“Pop & Play” pavilion drove cross-industry IP collaborations, opened to public to promote interaction between industry and fansThe three fairs continued with the theme “New Play for All”, with the enduring popularity of trendy and collectible toys injecting strong growth momentum into the toy industry. The new “Pop & Play” pavilion brought together popular international and local IPs. Hong Kong exhibitor Matrix Promotion showcased 11 original local IPs and presented a series of fair-exclusive debut products. Founder and CEO Ray Leung said: “Combining B2C elements with B2B provides an energetic atmosphere that makes it easier to facilitate collaborations and build relationships with potential partners. Through the online and offline business matchings, we established around 50 local business contacts. These included not only toy industry buyers, but also cross-industry cooperation opportunities, such as with theme parks, loyalty programmes, digital commerce platforms, finance and insurance companies. These mainly involve designing exclusive premium items for clients based on their own IPs, which is currently a major trend in the market.”Onsite sales of IP products were also brisk. IP character B.Duck has long been popular in both Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland. Hong Kong Sales Representative for the company, Lai Chi-ying, shared: “The new ‘Pop & Play’ pavilion successfully integrates B2B and B2C elements, reaffirming that trendy collectibles remain a key industry trend locally and globally. During the fair, we connected with 30 potential clients — mainly toy distributors — from countries including Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Dubai, Russia, and North America. Our blind boxes also were a big hit with visitors, selling over 100 units in a short time. We expect participation in the event to contribute around 10% of our annual business growth.”Meanwhile, trendy toy enthusiast Mr. Hung visited the pavilion, saying: “The ‘Pop & Play’ pavilion offers an attractive and rich selection. We could appreciate many popular local and international trendy toy IPs, as well as the latest hot anime and IP-licensed products. It’s the perfect spot for exploring trendy collectibles and pop culture merchandise. The variety of trendy toys available for sale onsite is remarkably diverse. I spent around HK$2,000 and picked up multiple items including IP T-shirts, keychains, figurines, and Marvel toys – it was a truly fruitful visit!"Hong Kong toy exhibitor draws buyers’ attention with self-developed AI toysEastcolight (Hong Kong) Limited, a long-time participant at the Toys & Games Fair, showcased its self-developed artificial intelligence (AI) interactive story machine this year. Co-founder Salley Sze said: “With AI becoming a core market trend, our latest toy products now incorporate AI-assisted learning features. These AI products alone are expected to generate at least US$1 million in annual sales through the fair, while our other STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) product lines are projected to achieve US$2 million sales.”Happy Ageing label saw rising demand as sustainable toys remained popularWith ageing populations becoming a global reality, toys and games designed specifically for seniors or intergenerational family fun are now a rapidly growing market. The new Happy Ageing label was introduced at this year’s Toys & Games Fair to help identify products in this category. Peri Chow, Director of FritzS Learning (Hong Kong), said: “The new label has greatly helped our market expansion. During the fair, we connected with approximately 30 new clients from different industries and regions, including the Chinese Mainland, Germany, the Philippines, South Africa and Spain, such as nursing home caregivers and buyers for children’s toys.”Sustainable consumption continued to be a key focus across the fairs. In addition to the Green Toys zone at the Toys & Games Fair, both the toys and stationery fairs continued to employ the Green Solutions green leaf label, further facilitating the procurement of eco-friendly products. This year, over 400 exhibitors displayed the green leaf logo, double the number compared to 2024. DeAgostini Collectibles from Spain is a global publisher and distributor of collectibles. Sourcing Manager CMC, Sandra Lopez Herrero said, "We are particularly interested in sustainable design, especially the battery-free, hydraulic-powered eco-friendly toys exhibited by a Chinese Mainland supplier. We plan to place an order worth around US$1 million. The green leaf label, along with the Click2Match and Scan2Match platforms, have helped us track products and stay updated on emerging trends, such as the use of eco-friendly materials and the integration of artificial intelligence in toys."At the Baby Products Fair, the World of Strollers and Gear and ODM Strollers and Gear zones together hosted approximately 230 exhibitors, with an increase in both exhibitor numbers and fair areas compared to last year. The Selection of Europe pavilion returned in 2026 together with the Korean and Hong Kong Children, Babies, Maternity Industries Association pavilions. Among the European exhibitors, Swedish exhibitor AXKID expressed recognition of Hong Kong’s role as an international trade and innovation hub. Managing Director Roger Yan said: “As a leading city in innovation, Hong Kong helps us expand our market and reach more international customers. During the fair, we met buyers from Bulgaria, Slovenia, Japan, and Türkiye. One Bulgarian client has already placed an order for 2,000 child safety seats, valued at approximately €1.7 million. We will definitely exhibit again next year.”Jointly organised by the HKTDC and Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, this year’s Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair welcomed Blaxall Optics Low Vision Limited from New Zealand for the first time. Company Director Gang Cheng said: "We showcased a range of optical magnifiers and related products and connected with 10 new buyers from Hong Kong, Macao, Poland, Thailand and more at the physical fair and through the Click2Match smart-matching platform. We anticipate these contacts will bring at least a 5% annual growth to our business, equivalent to US$100,000 in orders."Asian Toy & Games Forum explored key issues for toy manufacturersThe flagship Asian Toys & Games Forum was held during the Toys & Games Fair. Themed “Empowering the Toy Industry for Global Success”, the forum invited industry experts and guest speakers to discuss the latest industry updates and developments. Loo Wee Teck, Global Insights Manager, Toys and Games, Euromonitor International, shared insights on the toys and games market outlook and opportunities, while Alex Lin, Vice President and General Manager, Disney Consumer Products, Greater China and Korea, The Walt Disney Company, covered the global IP ecosystem and merchandising strategies.For more comments from exhibitors and buyers, please visit the following websites:-  Toys and Games Fair: https://www.hktdc.com/event/hktoyfair/en/success-stories- Baby Products Fair: https://www.hktdc.com/event/hkbabyfair/en/success-stories- Stationery & School Supplies Fair: https://www.hktdc.com/event/hkstationeryfair/en/success-storiesPhoto download: https://bit.ly/49IAOHhThe 52nd HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, the 17th HKTDC Hong Kong Baby Products Fair and the 24th Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair, concluded successfully today at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
