Global Nurse Migration Patterns Shift as Europe, Southeast Asia Absorb Growing Share of International Nurses

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Apr 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TruMerit™ (formerly CGFNS International) today released its 2025 Nurse Migration Report, revealing significant shifts in global nurse migration patterns and widening inequities in nursing workforce distribution across regions with vastly different healthcare needs.The report, which analyzes World Health Organization data and TruMerit's proprietary VisaScreen® application records, shows that international nurse migration flows are increasingly concentrated in regions with stronger healthcare infrastructure, while areas facing severe nursing shortages continue to lose ground in their ability to employ internationally educated nurses.Europe and Southeast Asia see sharp increases in international nurse employment. According to TruMerit's analysis of WHO nursing workforce data, Europe now employs internationally educated nurses at a rate representing 8.01% of its healthcare workforce, compared to a ten-year average of 5.96%-a persistent and significant upward trend. Southeast Asia has seen internationally educated nurses as high as 24.87% of the healthcare workforce, compared to a ten-year average of 20.15%-again, indicative of a notable, steady trend despite fluctuations over the past decade. During the same period, the proportion of internationally educated nurses working in the Eastern Mediterranean and African regions has declined, exacerbating existing nursing shortages in underserved areas."These data expose a widening global imbalance: well-resourced health systems are accelerating their absorption of internationally educated nurses, while regions with the most severe nursing shortages are losing the capacity to employ the very professionals they urgently need," said Dr. Peter Preziosi, President and CEO of TruMerit. "Correcting this maldistribution will require coordinated action by both source and destination countries--grounded in ethical recruitment frameworks, stronger bilateral agreements that help offset the education and training costs borne by source countries, and sustained investment in nursing education and health system capacity in underserved regions."Growing Complexity of International Nurse Career PathwaysThe report highlights increasing mobility among internationally educated nurses. TruMerit's analysis of VisaScreen credentialing data from 2021-2024 shows that approximately 3% of nurses migrating to the United States had already worked internationally in another country before applying for U.S. authorization-evidence of an increasingly mobile global nursing workforce in which multiple international career moves are becoming more common."The data in this report make clear that nurse migration is not simply a matter of supply and demand-it reflects deeper structural inequities in how healthcare education, employment capacity, and healthcare resources are distributed globally," said Rodrigo Gouveia, Chief Global Affairs Officer at TruMerit. "Coordinated policy frameworks, investment in nursing education systems, and strengthening of health infrastructure in underserved regions are essential to ensuring that international nurse migration supports rather than exacerbates global health equity."Emerging Risks: AI-Generated Credential Fraud Threatens Nursing Workforce IntegrityThe 2025 Nurse Migration Report also examines emerging risks to healthcare workforce integrity, including the projected rise in AI-generated occupational fraud. Industry analysts project that by 2026, one in four job candidate profiles may be fabricated by artificial intelligence, underscoring the increasing importance of verified nurse credentialing systems for protecting patient safety.The full 2025 Nurse Migration Report is available for download here.About TruMeritTruMerit is a worldwide leader in healthcare workforce development with nearly 50 years of experience supporting the mobility of nurses and other healthcare workers.

隨著歐洲與東南亞吸納越來越多國際護理人員,全球護理人員遷徙模式正發生轉變

賓夕法尼亞州費城, 2026年4月28日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - TruMerit™(前身為 CGFNS International)今日發布《2025年護理人員遷移報告》,揭示全球護理人員遷移模式出現顯著變化,且在醫療保健需求差異極大的各區域間,護理人力分布的不平等現象正日益加劇。該報告透過分析世界衛生組織的數據及 TruMerit 專有的 VisaScreen® 申請紀錄,顯示國際護理人員的流動正日益集中於醫療基礎設施較完善的地區,而面臨嚴重護理人力短缺的地區,在僱用國際教育背景護理人員的能力方面則持續處於劣勢。歐洲與東南亞地區的國際護理師僱用量呈現急遽增長。根據TruMerit對世衛組織護理人力數據的分析,歐洲目前僱用的國際教育背景護理師比例已達其醫療保健人力總數的8.01%,相較於過去十年的平均值5.96%,呈現出持續且顯著的上升趨勢。東南亞地區的國際護理人員佔醫療人力比例最高達24.87%,相較於過去十年的平均值20.15%——儘管過去十年間存在波動,這再次顯示出顯著且穩定的趨勢。同期,東地中海及非洲地區的國際護理人員比例則有所下降,加劇了醫療資源不足地區現有的護理人力短缺問題。「這些數據揭露了日益加劇的全球失衡現象:資源充沛的醫療體系正加速吸納海外受訓的護理人員,而護理人力短缺最嚴重的地區卻正失去僱用這些他們急需的專業人才的能力,」TruMerit 總裁兼執行長彼得·普雷佐西(Peter Preziosi)博士表示。「要糾正這種資源分配失衡,源頭國與目的地國必須採取協調行動——這需以符合倫理的招募框架為基礎,透過更強有力的雙邊協議來協助抵銷源頭國所承擔的教育與培訓成本,並持續投資於醫療資源匱乏地區的護理教育及醫療體系能力。」國際護理師職涯路徑日益複雜該報告強調了國際護理師流動性日益增加的現象。TruMerit對2021至2024年VisaScreen資格認證數據的分析顯示,約3%移居美國的護理師在申請美國執業許可前,已曾在其他國家工作過——這顯示全球護理勞動力正變得日益流動,多次跨國職涯轉移已日趨普遍。「本報告的數據清楚顯示,護理人員的流動不僅僅是供需問題——它反映出全球醫療教育、就業容量及醫療資源分配方面更深層的結構性不平等,」TruMerit 全球事務總監羅德里戈·戈維亞(Rodrigo Gouveia)表示。「建立協調的政策框架、投資護理教育體系,以及強化醫療資源匱乏地區的醫療基礎設施,對於確保國際護理人員流動能促進而非加劇全球健康公平至關重要。」新興風險:AI 生成之執照造假威脅護理人力資源的完整性《2025 年護理人員遷徙報告》亦探討了威脅醫療人力資源完整性的新興風險,包括預計將增加的 AI 生成職業詐欺。產業分析師預測,到 2026 年,每四份求職者履歷中就有一份可能是由人工智慧偽造的,這凸顯了經核實的護理執照認證系統對於保障患者安全的重要性日益增加。完整的《2025年護理人員遷徙報告》可於此處下載。關於 TruMeritTruMerit 是全球醫療人力資源發展的領導者,擁有近 50 年協助護理人員及其他醫療工作者實現職涯流動的經驗。TruMerit 前身為 CGFNS International,專門為尋求在美國及其他國家執業許可的海外醫療專業人員,驗證其教育背景、培訓經歷及專業經驗。透過其擴展的使命及「全球醫療人力發展研究院」,TruMerit 致力推動研究、標準制定與認證工作,以強化全球醫療人力資源,並促進公平且可持續的職業流動。媒體聯絡人LEA SIMS行銷與傳播總監TruMeritmedia@trumerit.org消息來源:TruMerit Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

HKTDC’s response to Hong Kong’s export figures for March

HONG KONG, Apr 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Census and Statistics Department today released the latest external merchandise trade statistics. In March 2026, the total value of Hong Kong’s merchandise exports recorded a year-on-year increase of 35.8% to HK$618.4 billion. For the first quarter of 2026, the total value of exports of goods amounted to HK$1,546.2 billion, representing a robust growth of 32.0% compared with the same period last year.Commenting on the outlook, Bruce Pang, Director of Research at the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, said Hong Kong’s exports are expected to remain steady at least in the near term, despite elevated energy prices arising from ongoing tensions in the Middle East. He noted Hong Kong’s external trade has continued to exhibit clear growth momentum, underpinned primarily by sustained global demand for electronic items and other intermediate goods that are integral to regional and global supply chains.In particular, resilient input demand from the Chinese Mainland and other ASEAN production sites, together with stable demand from major overseas markets, has provided a solid buffer against external headwinds. While geopolitical uncertainties persist and energy prices are likely to remain relatively high, continued industrial activity in major markets, as well as ongoing supply-chain realignments, are expected to lend ongoing support to Hong Kong’s trade flows.“Overall, we maintain a cautiously optimistic outlook for Hong Kong’s trade performance, while remaining mindful of potential volatility arising from geopolitical developments and cost pressures,” Pang added.HKTDC Media Room: https://mediaroom.hktdc.com/enMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communications & Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.

CanSinoBIO Delivers Q1 Revenue Growth Amid Accelerating International Expansion

HONG KONG, Apr 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CanSino Biologics Inc. (688185.SH/06185.HK) released its first-quarter 2026 results, reflecting a positive operational momentum. Revenue for the quarter totaled RMB 190 million, representing a 38.73% year-over-year increase.The performance highlights the company’s strong operational resilience, driven by accelerating sales of core products and ongoing cost-efficiency measures. Despite short-term pressure on profitability, steady revenue expansion sets a solid foundation for a full-year earnings recovery.Menhycia(R), the first MCV4 vaccine product in China, maintained robust sales during the period. The successful launch of iPneucia(R) (13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine) also contributed considerable revenue to the Group. Meanwhile, international technology transfer and intermediate products sales have gradually emerged as new revenue growth drivers.CanSinoBIO has developed a differentiated portfolio of bacterial vaccines, covering meningococcal, pneumococcal and DTcP vaccines. The company leverages five core technology platforms, including viral vector vaccines, synthetic vaccines, protein structure design and Virus-Like Particle (VLP) assembly, mRNA technologies, and formulation and delivery systems. This diversified pipeline helps mitigate the “single-product dependency” that has historically challenged traditional vaccine manufacturers.Among its key products, Menhycia(R), China’s first domestically developed quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine, has continued to gain market traction following approval for expanded use in children up to six years old, driving steady gains in market penetration. Meanwhile, iPneucia(R), China’s first 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine using a dual-carrier system (CRM197 and tetanus toxoid), has ramped up since launch and emerged as a key growth driver.In April, the company also received approval for Tripecia(R), an adsorbed acellular pertussis (three-component) combination vaccine (DTcP) for infants. Leveraging next-generation technology, the product fills a gap in the domestic market and further strengthens CanSinoBIO’s presence in the pediatric segment.Beyond the infant market, CanSinoBIO is advancing a “life-course immunization (from infancy through old age)” strategy, expanding into adolescent and adult vaccines. Pipeline candidates, including adolescent and adult component Tdap vaccines (Tdcp) and a 24-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, are progressing through development and clinical trials, aimed at broadening the company’s addressable market.On the international front, the company continues to pursue a dual-engine strategy of innovation and global expansion, transitioning from product exports to a more integrated global model. Menhycia(R) has been launched and supplied in Indonesia, while manufacturing facilities for both Menhycia(R) and iPneucia(R) have obtained PIC/S GMP certification from Malaysia. This integrated approach, spanning product registration, localized manufacturing and technology transfer, is expected to unlock significant opportunities in overseas markets.Looking ahead, with the continued ramp-up of core products and the gradual commercialization of its life-course vaccine pipeline, CanSinoBIO’s long-term value proposition may be poised for a re-rating, supported by both earnings’ growth and an expanding global footprint.

Kincora Commences Drilling at the Historic Condobolin Mining Field

First phase drilling program underway at the 100% owned Condobolin epithermal gold, silver-base metals project located in the Cobar BasinCapital efficient sole funded drilling program of up to eight diamond core holes First systematic drilling in over a decade at the historic Condobolin Mineral Field Testing down dip, on strike, new adjacent coincident geochemical and geophysical targets at the high-grade Meritilga discovery Fully funded follow-up drilling proposed at Meritilga, with additional targets including other open prior discoveries and larger causative porphyry centers also under considerationRecent corporate activity highlights the value on high-grade projects in the Cobar BasinDrilling is ongoing in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti at the highly prospective Nevertire South porphyry project in the Macquarie ArcVancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - April 28, 2026) - Gold-copper explorer and hybrid project generator Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) (Kincora or the Company) is pleased to announce drilling has commenced at the Condobolin project, located in the southern end of the Cobar Basin in Central West NSW.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, commented,"We are very excited to be drilling at two highly prospective projects, including the first systematic drilling program in over a decade at our wholly owned Condobolin project. Our recent efforts have included consolidating the historic Condobolin mining field, an extensive airborne geophysical survey, a regional assessment of shallow historical workings, open prior explorer discoveries and potential causative porphyry targets.While water and the weathering profile previously impeded mining and exploration efforts those historic obstacles now support a compelling opportunity. The last phase of drilling delivered proof-of-concept with strong results and straightforward exploration upside at multiple historical mines and new discoveries, including a blind high-grade gold discovery at Meritilga. Cobar style deposits are often vertically extensive with repeating mineral systems. Our commenced program will, for the first time, properly test that potential at Mertiliga and advance our geological concept of a deeper intrusion(s) driving zoned hydrothermal systems across multiple historical mines and targets - offering both attractive grade and scale opportunity.Recent M&A in the Cobar district highlights the strategic value of high-grade precious and critical mineral deposits, particularly where synergies can be unlocked from existing processing capacity. The Condobolin project is an asset where a junior explorer like Kincora can add significant value." Figure 1: Kincora is currently sole-funding drilling at the Condobolin Mining Field while AngloGold Ashanti funds drilling (with Kincora receiving a management fee) at the Nevertire South license which is part of two earn-ins within the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt projectThe southern Cobar Basin remains relatively under-explored, with several recent discoveries in historic mining districtsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/294502_kincora_0427.jpgDistrict, regional and adjacent property information disclosed is provided for general awareness and educational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of any other project of the Company it is being compared to.ABOUT THE COBAR DISTRICTThe Cobar Basin has a 150-year history of high-grade, long-life mining and is an important supplier of critical and precious metals. The region benefits from established infrastructure and favourable ESG considerations with significant scope for processing and mining efficiencies, supporting further potential regional consolidation.The district has recently seen several significant new discoveries utilising modern exploration techniques in lesser explored regions (eg Federation, Achilles, Mallee Bull, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank) and emerging corporate activity (eg Harmony's A$1.6 billion takeover for MAC Copper (MAC.ASX), Aeris Resources A$214m acquisition of Peel Mining and Kingston Resources (KSN.ASX) recently receiving A$50 million cash for the first tranche of its divestment of its PNG Misima project).ABOUT THE CONDOBOLIN PROJECTThe Condobolin project was historically the focus of up to 25 informal open pit operations (peak late 1800's-early 1900's), with mining impacted by the water table and exploration by the weathering profile. The mineral field has not been effectively explored below the weathered zone (~30m).Very limited modern exploration has taken with initial activities by Clancy Exploration (Clancy, now RareX Limited) yielding encouraging results at all five prospects drilled (2011-13), including a virgin high-grade gold discovery at the Meritilga Prospect.More recently within the immediate district, Kingston Resources has significantly expanded the resources and restarted hard rock mining at the Mineral Hill mine, Talisman Mining has had success at its Rip N Tear and Durnings targets (to both the immediate north and south of Mineral Hill), while Australian Gold and Copper has excited the market with its new district scale discovery at its Achilles target located within the south western extension of the Cobar Basin.The Condobolin project is located approximately 40km south from the mill at Mineral Hill and north of the Condobolin town (which is the primary source of employees to Mineral Hill operation who drive through the Condobolin project to work) - see Figure 1.Kincora has consolidated a 100% project ownership and continued to expand our foothold across the near surface potential of the historical Condobolin Mineral Field. Approximately 20% of the wider project is out-sub cropping with the average depth of cover in non-outcropping areas less than 5 metres supporting very easy exploration with surface geology and sampling being an effective, quick and cheap methods.In 4Q'2025, the Company completed a ~150km2 airborne electro-magnetic (AEM) geophysical survey and the first systematic drilling program in over a decade commenced at the Meritilga target.Meritilga was a new blind shallow discovery made by Clancy in 2012 following up a coincident 2km x 2km arsenic-lead-zinc (+gold) geochemical anomaly and K-channel radiometric anomaly over ridges east of the historic mines at Mascotte and west of Potters. The anomalies coincided with key NE-striking structures identified in detailed 3D induced polarization (IP) surveys 1.The gold, silver and base metals system is situated within a lode with high grade lens (ore grade, eg 4m @ 20g/t gold, 30.2 g/t silver from 75m, including 1m @ 62g/t gold, 60g/t silver in hole CORC029) and a lower grade halo. The lode is a consistent body, open up and down dip 1, 2.Land access agreements are in place and the permitting process commenced for an up to 15 diamond drill hole program for 4100 metres testing down dip (up to 350m depth) and strike extensions and the potential for repeat high grade lens and/or a stacked series of lenses. Permits and land access are in place for a first phase program of up to eight holes.This setting is supported by the last phase of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling by Clancy, the one diamond hole drilled by Kincora in 2023, coupled with a favourable structural setting where the main Meritilga Fault has been cross-cut by N-S trending faults 3.The program will also test new adjacent coincident geochemical and geophysical targets.The current working geological model, underpinned by pathfinder zonation and coincident geophysical anomalies, supports the potential for a larger mineralised intrusive source at depth, which this drilling program seeks to also support.ABOUT KINCORAKincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) is an emerging Australia-focused gold-copper explorer with a hybrid project generator strategy.The Company is successfully proving up the prospectivity of its extensive project portfolio, which includes multiple district-scale landholdings and scalable drill ready targets. These assets are located in Australia's Lachlan Fold Belt and Mongolia's Southern Gobi, two of the globe's leading porphyry belts, and the historical Condobolin mining field within the Cobar basin in NSW.The Company has already unlocked over $100 million of potential partner funding for multiple earlier stage and/or non-core porphyry projects. These initial deals have supported over 18,000 metres of drilling and over A$9m of partner funded exploration since late 2024, with management fees and exploration ramping up.Partner discussions are ongoing for its remaining 100% owned flagship projects that are all situated within existing porphyry camps containing over 20-million-ounce gold equivalent resource inventory.By having a significant portfolio of partner funded large porphyry projects, and a very focused capital efficient programs at the Condobolin and other sole funded projects, the Company is seeking to position Kincora as a leading institutional grade explorer in the public Australian and Canadian markets, and the leading project generator on the ASX.The Company's website is: www.kincoracopper.comThis announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Kincora Copper Limited (ARBN 645 457 763)For further information please contact:Sam Spring, President and Chief Executive OfficerLaurie Thomas, Strategic Advisorsam.spring@kincoracopper.com or +61431 329 345laurie.thomas@kincoracopper.com or +1306 341 3826 Media contactJulia Maguire, Managing Director, The Capital Networkjulia@thecapitalnetwork.com.au or +61 2 7257 7338Executive office Subsidiary office Australia400 - 837 West Hastings StreetC/- JM Corporate ServicesVancouver, BC V6C 3N6, CanadaLevel 6, 350 Collins StreetTel: 1.604.283.1722Melbourne, VIC, Australia 3000 References:1 ASX release of Clancy Exploration Limited (now RareX Limited), titled "New Gold-Silver-Copper Discovery at Meritilga Prospect - Condobolin Project" dated March 20th, 2012, which can be obtained via the ASX website (www.asx.com.au).

NEC Launches “Africa Corporate Innovation Program” Accelerating Business Through Co-Creation with African Startups

- In collaboration with the Shell Foundation and Double Feather Partners, NEC is promoting startups and solutions to social issues -TOKYO, Apr 28, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701) has launched an initiative to strengthen collaboration with African startups and address social challenges such as agriculture and food security. The newly established "Africa Corporate Innovation Program" is in addition to NEC’s existing global startup accelerator, the "NEC Innovation Challenge", and is designed to further strengthen partnerships with startups. The program will be jointly designed and implemented by the UK-based Shell Foundation charity (Note 1) and the Double Feather Partners (Note 2, hereafter DFP) venture capital firm.NEC has been working to achieve sustainable agriculture and stronger food security in Africa by combining its advanced technological capabilities with practical insights gained from global business operations, including the provision of data-driven farming solutions.NEC has hosted the NEC Innovation Challenge since 2022 to promote co-creation with global startups. In 2024 and 2025, NEC also participated in Project NINJA (Note 3) for building startup ecosystems for innovation creation in developing countries, led by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) (Note 4), further advancing open innovation globally.Building on these initiatives, NEC began implementing the Africa Corporate Innovation Program this April in collaboration with Shell Foundation, the UK registered charity empowering underserved customers to raise their incomes while lowering emissions with funding by the UK Government via the Research on Infrastructure in Developing Economies (RIDE) program and DFP, which has strong capabilities in local co-creation design and business scaling support in Africa.Through this program, startups capable of addressing key challenges in Africa will be selected and will collaborate with NEC and partners to conduct proof-of-concept (PoC) demonstration projects that leverage the strengths of each party. Based on the outcomes of these projects, the initiative will also explore mid- to long-term business development and strategic partnerships, aiming to establish sustainable co-creation models.Program OverviewThe program leverages NEC’s ICT platform "CropScope" to build agricultural technologies, including farm to market logistics solutions, while conducting proof-of-concept (PoC) trials with African startups to establish evidence for longer-term commercial partnerships and expansion across African markets.ScheduleApril 2026:Launch of the Africa Corporate Innovation ProgramInitiate collaboration with African startupsThrough December 2026:PoC projects utilizing agricultural fields in AfricaMarch 2027:Evaluation of PoC outcomes and impact measurement, followed by a final reporting sessionMasayuki FurukawaDirector, Private Sector Development GroupJapan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)"JICA has been continuously conducting cooperation in collaboration with private-sector partners with the aim of strengthening startup ecosystems in Africa and enhancing collaboration between African and Japanese companies."This initiative holds significant value where it leverages the experience and knowledge accumulated through the Next Innovation with Japan (NINJA) project promoted by JICA, with the expectation of contributing further to Africa’s economic development. JICA supports the idea that private companies take the lead in addressing social challenges in Africa and building mutually beneficial relationships."Furthermore, JICA hopes that this initiative will encourage more Japanese companies to participate in similar efforts, thereby further expanding collaboration between startups in Japan and Africa. JICA will continue its cooperation through Project NINJA and will support promoting initiatives of this kind going forward."Jonathan BermanCEOShell Foundation"Raising incomes for people on low incomes while supporting a low carbon pathway requires more than good ideas – it requires partnerships that bring together capital, technology and local entrepreneurial expertise. Through the Africa Corporate Innovation Program, Shell Foundation is using catalytic funding to reduce the risk of collaboration and, together with our partner Double Feather Partners, help global corporates like NEC work alongside African startups to test, learn and build solutions that can scale and evolve into sustainable business partnerships. Our role is to make these partnerships possible, prove what works in practice and help unlock much larger flows of capital into inclusive, climate-smart markets."Kohei MutoRepresentative Director & CEODouble Feather Partners"Social challenges in Africa should no longer be viewed merely as development issues; they represent the frontier of one of the world’s fastest-evolving innovation markets. This program serves as an implementation platform that connects the technological strengths of Japanese companies with the field-driven innovation capabilities of African startups."DFP will design and support mechanisms that connect PoC initiatives to investment opportunities and business scale-up, maximizing NEC’s business expansion and social impact creation in Africa. In collaboration with the Shell Foundation, DFP will also support the development of sustainable business models from the perspectives of impact investment and blended finance."Through this initiative, we aim to build a new co-creation model between Japan and Africa, enabling a seamless pathway from demonstration projects to capital linkage and ultimately to business value creation."NEC is scheduled to present background on this project at the "SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026" innovation conference, held from April 27th (Monday) to 29th (Wednesday), 2026.

Today, it officially listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX), joining the biopharmaceutical sector of the Hong Kong stock market and opening a brand-new chapter in its international development.Reportedly, founded in 2017, Mabwell is a leading domestic innovative pharmaceutical enterprise, possessing premier innovative drug R&D capabilities and end-to-end whole-industry-chain capabilities that span from drug discovery to commercial sales. Since its establishment, the Company has been deeply engaged in therapeutic areas for major diseases such as oncology, immunology, ophthalmology, and orthopedics, and is committed to providing safer and more efficient innovative treatment solutions for patients worldwide.Rich and Diversified Product Pipeline Builds Core Competitive BarriersA rich and promising product portfolio serves as the core pillar for Mabwell’s steady development, as well as its key advantage in seizing first-mover opportunities in the market. With a long-term, deep-rooted presence in the innovative drug sector, the Company has built a diversified product pipeline featuring multiple categories and tiers. As of now, Mabwell has 4 commercialized products and 10 drug candidates: 1 in NDA stage,, 1 in preclinical stages, covering multiple high-potential therapeutic areas and supporting long-term growth.Mabwell’s self-developed core product, 9MW2821, fully demonstrates the Company’s leading edge in the ADC field. 9MW2821 is the most advanced among all Nectin-4-targeting ADCs for urothelial carcinoma (“UC”) in China in terms of clinical development progress, and only second to the globally blockbuster drug Padcev. Meanwhile, it is also the first Nectin-4-targeting ADC globally to enter the pivotal Phase III clinical trials for cervical cancer (“CC”), and triple-negative breast cancer (“TNBC”), boasting extensive market potential.Beyond 9MW2821, Mabwell continues to advance the R&D of ADC candidates targeting other novel targets and has built a comprehensive ADC pipeline portfolio. Its pipeline includes 7MW3711, an ADC specifically targeting B7-H3 (an immune checkpoint protein), and 7MW4911, an ADC specifically targeting CDH17. This layout further diversifies the Company’s footprint in oncology treatment and steadily consolidates its leading advantages in the ADC track.Notably, Mabwell has also strategically prioritized the layout of product pipelines covering monoclonal antibodies (“mAbs”), TCE bispecific antibodies, fusion proteins and small molecule drugs, fostering a pattern of coordinated development across multiple product categories. Its R&D portfolio includes: 9MW3811, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting IL-11 for the treatment of fibrosis -related diseases and cancers; 9MW1911, the first domestically developed drug candidate approved for clinical development in China targeting ST2; 9MW3011, a recombinant humanized TMPRSS6 targeting mAb among the leading TMPRSS6-targeting therapies in terms of development status globally; and 6MW5311, the world’s first LILRB4/CD3-targeted TCE bispecific antibody filed for clinical trials. These candidates keep expanding the boundaries of the Company’s innovative drug research and development.Outstanding commercialization capabilities, expanding a global market footprintLeveraging its fully integrated industry chain capabilities and forward-looking commercialization strategy, Mabwell (Shanghai) Bioscience Co., Ltd. has continued to deliver tangible commercialization outcomes. In 2025, the Company’s Junmaikang® obtained marketing approval in Indonesia, while Mailisheng® and Maiweijian were approved for commercialization in Pakistan, marking steady progress in its international commercialization efforts.Since 2022, the Company has actively expanded overseas collaborations, entering into multiple landmark international partnership agreements and securing corresponding revenue-sharing arrangements. It has successfully penetrated emerging markets including Brazil, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, establishing an extensive global commercial network.In terms of global partnerships, Mabwell has further deepened its international presence. In January 2023, the Company entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Disc Medicine for 9MW3011, under which it is entitled to receive up to US$412.5 million in upfront payments, milestone payments, and royalties. In June 2025, it reached an exclusive licensing agreement with Calico Life Sciences for 9MW3811, with total potential consideration exceeding US$600 million, including upfront, milestone, and royalty payments. In October 2025, the Company signed an exclusive licensing agreement with Kalexo Bio for a novel dual-target siRNA candidate drug, further expanding the breadth and depth of its international market collaborations.Powerful Technology Platforms Lay a Solid Foundation for Innovation-Driven GrowthPowerful technology platforms serve as the core engine for sustained innovation at Mabwell, and are also pivotal to building differentiated competitive advantages. With deep commitment to technological R&D, the Company has established four core ADC technologies for which we possess proprietary intellectual property rights, providing strong support for the development of innovative drugs.Among these, DARfinity is a self-developed site-specific conjugation process that enables precise drug molecule conjugation; IDconnect is an optimized design of linker molecules that enhances the stability of the linkage between the antibody and toxins; Mtoxin is a class of camptothecin-based novel toxic molecules that are used as the “warhead” in the ADC to kill the targeted cells, providing more potent target cell killing effects; LysOnly is an innovative structure that allows conditional release of toxins, effectively improving the overall safety and efficacy of ADC drugs.These four proprietary technologies serve as the core pillars of our site-specific conjugation ADC development platform, synergistically enabling the Company to develop ADC products with better uniformity, stability, purity, and a superior efficacy and safety profile. This significantly improves pipeline R&D efficiency, allows rapid response to clinical and market demands, and continuously consolidates the Company's leading position in the ADC field.In addition, Mabwell continues to develop and upgrade other core technology platforms, forming a multi-technology synergistic development system. These platforms include the integrated high-efficiency antibody discovery platform and the T-cell engager (TCE)-based bi/tri-specific antibody development platform, among others. The TCE-based bi/tri-specific antibodies developed on these platforms can simultaneously and specifically bind to tumor-associated antigens and the T-cell CD3 epitope, thereby laying a solid technical foundation for the Company's strategic positioning in the field of immunotherapy.From an industry perspective, the global biopharmaceutical sector, as a core segment, has continued to gain momentum in recent years. The global oncology drug market grew from US$143.5 billion in 2019 to US$253.3 billion in 2024 with a CAGR of 12.0%, and is expected to further increase to US$375.9 billion, and US$548.2 billion in 2028, and 2032 respectively, with CAGRs of 10.4% from 2024 to 2028 and 9.9% from 2028 to 2032, respectively. This trend presents substantial growth opportunities for leading industry players like Mabwell, which possess core technologies and a globalized footprint.Driven by in-house R&D, supported by integrated end-to-end capabilities across the entire industry chain, and guided by a long-term global strategy, Mabwell continues to advance steadily in the innovative pharmaceutical sector. Leveraging a robust product pipeline, strong technological expertise, and well-established commercialization capabilities, the Company has built a solid competitive position. Its successful listing in Hong Kong will further accelerate the development of its core products, enhance its commercialization strategy, and strengthen its core competitiveness. This, in turn, is expected to position the Company at the forefront of the biopharmaceutical wave, with strong long-term growth potential that merits close market attention.
