As bossware backlash grows, Vaiz launches work management built on trust, not tracking

LIMASSOL, CYPRUS, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Vaiz, a Cyprus-based work management platform, is growing its user base with a product principle most competitors ignore: zero employee surveillance. The platform has no keystroke logging, no screenshot capture, no mouse tracking, and no automatic activity monitoring. It is a deliberate product decision, not a missing feature.Vaiz combines tasks, documents, and team collaboration in one workspace — without any form of employee activity tracking.The announcement comes as workplace monitoring faces renewed criticism. In April 2026, a major technology company began installing software on employee computers to record keystrokes, mouse movements, and screen activity to train AI models. The decision triggered immediate employee backlash and public debate about the limits of employer surveillance. A growing number of teams are now looking for tools that help them coordinate work without tracking how people spend every minute.Why no-surveillance work management matters nowEmployee monitoring software has grown from a niche practice to a global norm. Adoption rose from 30 percent before the pandemic to 60 percent by 2022. In 2026, the EU AI Act classifies workplace AI monitoring as high-risk and restricts practices such as emotion recognition in employment, with penalties up to 35 million euros or 7 percent of global revenue.Research shows that 31 percent of monitored employees feel micromanaged, and 23 percent report a sense of constant surveillance. For small and mid-sized teams that depend on trust and speed, surveillance tools often cause more harm than the problems they claim to solve. Vaiz was designed for these teams. The platform does not include any automatic activity tracking, screen recording, or behavioural monitoring.What Vaiz offers instead of surveillanceVaiz is a unified work management platform that brings tasks, documents, files, and team discussions into a single workspace. Rather than tracking employee behaviour, the platform makes work visible through structure: task boards, project timelines, milestones, and shared documents that give everyone context without oversight software.The platform connects to over 2,000 applications through Zapier and offers native integrations with Slack, GitHub, and GitLab. Embedded tools include Figma, Miro, YouTube, Vimeo, Swagger, and GraphQL editors. A built-in AI assistant turns goals into task breakdowns, generates project plans, summarises discussions into action items, and improves document clarity. A native MCP server connects Vaiz to AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, and three public SDKs let developers extend the platform. The full list is available on the integrations page.Vaiz co-founder Konstantin Cherkasov explained the company's position: "We build tools that help teams coordinate their work, not tools that watch people. If a platform needs to capture your screen to know whether you are productive, the problem is not the employee — it is the platform."Switching and pricingVaiz's Migration Center supports one-click imports from Jira, Asana, Trello, YouTrack, Notion, Linear, Monday, ClickUp, and Wrike. Pricing starts with a forever free plan for up to 10 users, no credit card required. The Pro plan costs five US dollars per user per month, and the Premium plan costs nine US dollars per user per month. An Enterprise edition with on-premises deployment is available for organisations with data residency requirements. A 30-day free trial covers all paid plans, and startups qualify for a 50 percent discount.Development paceVaiz today releases version 2.84, which introduces calendar integration. Since September 2025, this is the tenth numbered release. The team has recently moved to a two-week release cycle, accelerating from the previous pace of roughly one major update every three weeks. Earlier releases in 2026 delivered an improved UI, Slack integration, Cursor IDE support, and an iOS app with full desktop parity. The public product roadmap is available on the website.The company's focus is building a connected workspace where teams can plan, execute, and communicate in one place — without tools that treat employees as subjects of observation. More information is available at vaiz.com.About VaizVaiz Ltd was founded in 2024 and is headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus. The company operates a cloud-based work management platform that combines task boards, documents, and automation in one workspace. Vaiz is used by cross-functional teams at startups, product companies, game studios, agencies, and growing businesses.Related linksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/vaiz/Media contactBrand: VaizContact: Mike BurtonEmail: support@vaiz.comWebsite: https://vaiz.com Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Ten Square Games Initiates Technical Release of Mobile PvP Shooter Medal Hunter

(AsiaGameHub) -   Ten Square Games has commenced a staged release for Medal Hunter, its new mobile PvP shooter available on iOS and Android. The game entered its technical release phase on May 4th, with a global launch anticipated around the transition from May to June, contingent on further enhancements. The initial rollout is currently active in Mexico, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Poland. Ten Square Games stated that this phase is dedicated to assessing technical key performance indicators (KPIs) and ensuring performance stability, while the development team refines gameplay elements. By mid-May, Medal Hunter is expected to progress to a wider soft launch, gradually becoming available in Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The company indicated that the focus will then shift to evaluating short-term player retention and engagement metrics. Medal Hunter is set in combat arenas inspired by various historical eras, featuring architecture and weaponry that are "strongly influenced" by real-world references but stylized for mobile gameplay. At launch, the game offers five distinct locations, where players engage in brief PvP matches by targeting moving objectives such as aircraft and naval units, utilizing two distinct shooting mechanics. CEO Andrzej Ilczuk commented that the project leverages Ten Square Games’ development methodology previously employed for Trophy Hunter: “Medal Hunter exemplifies our strategy for growth in action. Trophy Hunter was instrumental in establishing a new development model for us, built on clear benchmarks, early validation, and a deeper understanding of crucial signals before scaling a product. Medal Hunter benefits from that experience and the extensive product knowledge we've accumulated across our portfolio. By incorporating proven gameplay mechanics and adhering to this model, we've managed to bring a new title to market in under a year from its development inception. This allows us to gain earlier insights into a game’s potential, mitigate development risks, and tailor products more precisely to player preferences”. This article is provided by a third-party.

BGaming Launches Clash of Gods: Anubis versus Hades

(AsiaGameHub) -   BGaming has launched Clash of Gods: Anubis vs Hades, a 5×5 publishing slot developed in collaboration with Golden Goat Gaming, the studio behind BGaming’s Zeus Goes Wild. Key Details The game features a duel mechanic inspired by Joker vs Joker. Players can select either Anubis mode, offering sticky Expanding Wilds, or Hades mode, which guarantees Duel symbols. The Clash of Gods feature activates at 800x the stake and delivers maximum volatility. Anubis And Hades Turn Wins Into Duels BGaming has blended elements of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece into a single slot experience, pitting Anubis against Hades directly on the reels rather than keeping them in separate realms. This collaboration with Golden Goat Gaming connects the new title to the popular Zeus Goes Wild series. The core gameplay begins when a VS symbol lands within a winning combination. It then expands across the reel, triggering a duel between the two gods. The victor determines the outcome, applying a multiplier to the original win, with additional reel effects potentially enhancing the result further.

Free Spins introduce another strategic layer: landing three or more Scatter symbols triggers a bonus round. If at least one Super Scatter appears, players unlock Super Free Spins. Before spinning, they choose their preferred path—Anubis mode grants sticky Expanding Wilds, while Hades mode ensures a Duel symbol appears on every spin. To accelerate access to key features, BGaming includes five Buy Bonus options. These include Bonus Hunt Spins and Dueling Spins, with the latter placing a Duel symbol on each spin for consistent action. The highest-risk option is the Clash of Gods feature, available at 800x the stake. It ramps up volatility to its peak level and increases the presence of extra Wild and VS symbols. According to BGaming, this setup targets players seeking larger win swings, particularly high-stakes bettors and content creators. Igor Bondarenko, Product Owner of Publishing at BGaming, commented:“Clash of Gods: Anubis vs Hades embodies everything BGaming enjoys creating—an engaging central theme, highly volatile gameplay, and the beloved dueling mechanic. With Ancient Greece and Egypt being enduring pillars of the slot genre, this release unites the two mythologies in an epic confrontation that players have never seen before.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Harvard Study Finds OpenAI o1 Outperforms Doctor Baselines

(AsiaGameHub) -   A team from Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center evaluated OpenAI models against physicians in medical diagnostic tasks, using real emergency room cases and other clinical scenarios. Good to Know OpenAI o1 provided an exact or nearly exact diagnosis in 67% of initial ER triage cases. Two attending physicians achieved scores of 55% and 50% on the same triage assessment. Researchers stated that hospitals need to conduct real patient care trials before using AI for high-stakes diagnostic purposes. Researchers Emphasize Need for Further Testing Before Real-World ER Use of AI The most notable result emerged at the stage where doctors typically have the least information. During initial ER triage, OpenAI o1 delivered an exact or nearly exact diagnosis in 67% of cases. One attending physician scored 55%, while another reached 50%. Researchers did not frame the findings as a green light for AI to manage emergency rooms. Instead, the study published in Science called for an “urgent need for prospective trials to evaluate these technologies in real-world patient care settings.” This warning is important because the test was limited to text-based records. The team noted that “existing studies suggest that current foundation models are more limited in reasoning over nontext inputs.” In simple terms, charts, scans, images, physical exams, and bedside judgment still present greater challenges for AI diagnostic tools.The study included 76 patients from Beth Israel’s emergency room. OpenAI o1 and 4o received the same electronic medical record details available at each diagnostic stage. Harvard Medical School stated that researchers did not “pre-process the data at all,” so the models did not get cleaned-up summaries or additional assistance. Two additional attending physicians then graded the responses without knowing which diagnosis came from a human doctor and which from an AI. The study said: “At each diagnostic touchpoint, o1 either performed nominally better than or on par with the two attending physicians and 4o,”It added that the performance gap was most distinct early in care, where pressure is high and information is scarce: “were especially pronounced at the first diagnostic touchpoint (initial ER triage), where there is the least information available about the patient and the most urgency to make the correct decision.” Arjun Manrai, who leads an AI lab at Harvard Medical School and co-led the study, said: “We tested the AI model against virtually every benchmark, and it eclipsed both prior models and our physician baselines,” Still, accountability remains a major challenge. Adam Rodman, a Beth Israel doctor and one of the study’s lead authors, told the Guardian that there is “no formal framework right now for accountability” around AI diagnoses. He also noted that patients still “want humans to guide them through life or death decisions [and] to guide them through challenging treatment decisions.” This article is provided by a third-party.

(SeaPRwire) -   根據一份最新的 CoinGecko 報告,目前最值得購買的加密貨幣是那些位於浪潮前沿的項目,該浪潮已使現實世界資產代幣化在2026年第一季達到193億美元,規模增長了三倍,而資本正湧入記錄此增長的可編程鏈中。如此規模的資本進入市場,必然會改變市場內所有人的遊戲規則。 這正是新的加密機會形成之處。Pepeto 預售剛剛突破了977萬美元的募資額,儘管市場處於恐懼與貪婪指數的低點,SolidProof 審計已完成,Pepe 的聯合創始人正參與構建,且 Binance 上幣也迫在眉睫。 CoinGecko 於5月1日報告指出,跨主要鏈的現實世界資產代幣化規模已達193億美元,是2025年記錄水平的三倍多,其中 BlackRock BUIDL、Apollo 的 ACRED 以及 Visa 的穩定幣層推動了大部分新資金流。根據 The Motley Fool 的報導,現貨比特幣 ETF 在經歷連續三天的資金流出後,於5月1日逆轉趨勢,實現了450萬美元的淨流入。 恐懼與貪婪指數今日位於26,這意味著資金輪動正在紮根,而價格仍處於積累低點。正確的切入點在於預售的底部價格,而非需要新資金數兆美元才能突破前高的代幣。 有望抓住代幣化浪潮的頂級代幣 Pepeto (PEPETO) 價格為 $0.0000001868:為何此預售以鎖定 977 萬美元位居購買清單榜首 對數十種代幣進行獨立研究永無止境,且大多數交易員在觀看代幣波動時,並不清楚合約是否安全。被認為是目前最值得購買的加密貨幣 Pepeto 之所以脫穎而出,是因為其風險評分系統會讀取每個合約,並在任何簽署之前以清晰的條款揭示風險。 首先是一個實用提醒。由於該項目吸引了大量關注,原始的 Pepeto.io 網域持續受到模仿者的抄襲和網路釣魚攻擊,因此團隊已推出一個新的 Pepeto 官方網站作為經過驗證的預售入口。新的 URL 是唯一安全的路徑。 該平台由一位曾將 Pepe 推至 110 億美元市值的聯合創始人與一位前 Binance 高層共同打造,每個合約均通過 SolidProof 審核。PepetoSwap 處理跨三條鏈的零手續費迷因幣交易,且跨鏈橋以零成本轉移代幣,因此賺取的每一美元都留在錢包中。 這些工具整合在一個平台內,取代了大多數投資者需要同時處理的多個分散頁面,當前價格為 $0.0000001868,而 193 億美元的代幣化資本正在尋找下一個目標鏈。質押複利年化收益率為 176%,而 Binance 的上幣將使這個預售底價變成其他人需要支付溢價才能追趕的價格。 Ethereum (ETH) 根據 CoinMarketCap 數據,Ethereum (ETH) 在5月1日的交易價格接近 2,299 美元,日內上漲 0.16%,月內上漲 8%。 Ethereum 在所有鏈中擁有最大的代幣化 RWA 交易量,但即使 ETH 反彈至 4,000 美元,也僅能帶來 1.7 倍的回報。 Solana (SOL) 根據 The Block 數據,Solana (SOL) 在5月1日的價格為 83.74 美元,日內上漲 1%,月內上漲 12%,目前有 25 億美元的代幣化資產託管在 Solana 上。 即使 Solana 順利上漲至 140 美元,其漲幅也僅在 2 倍以內,而投入 1,000 美元參與 Pepeto 預售則可獲得 53.5 億枚代幣。 結論 隨著 193 億美元的代幣化浪潮持續發展,真正的實用性將是基金經理權衡的指標,而 Pepeto 在資本仍在佈局時就已經交付了該基礎設施。經過審計的交易平台、SolidProof 的審核認證,以及 Pepe 背後的聯合創始人,正是這些特點在恐懼指數 26 的環境下吸引了巨鯨錢包參與此預售,目前鎖定的 977 萬美元資金證明了這些錢包遠在市場普遍意識到之前就已精準計算。 那些在第一週就離開 Shiba Inu 的交易者,是那些為了等待一個額外信號而猶豫不決的人,而早期參與者則獲得了他們後來希望當初能投入數倍資金的回報。 同樣的錢包模式現在正湧向 Pepeto 官方網站,錯過這個切入點可能會成為本輪週期最深的遺憾,也可能是在一個上幣日內改寫整個人生的單一決策。 點擊訪問 Pepeto 網站參與預售 常見問題解答 為了在 2026 年獲得最大回報,目前單一最值得購買的加密貨幣是什麼? Pepeto 是為了在 2026 年獲得最大回報,目前單一最值得購買的加密貨幣,因為該項目將經過驗證的交易平台、SolidProof 審計和原始的 Pepe 聯合創始人結合到一個定價為 $0.0000001868 的預售中。該項目剛剛突破了 977 萬美元的募資額,質押年化收益率為 176%,分析師預測一旦 Binance 上幣開啟,回報可能達到 1000 倍。 與 Pepeto 相比,ETH 和 SOL 的長期增長前景如何? ETH 交易價格為 2,299 美元,恢復到前高僅有 1.7 倍空間,SOL 價格為 83.74 美元,面臨類似的漲幅空間,兩者都需要整個市場在 2026 年期間持續增長。而 Pepeto 預售價格為 $0.0000001868,並有確認的 Binance 上幣,提供了在 Pepeto 官方網站上一個交易日內即可完成的回報週期。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。

以太坊價格預測:BitMine持有的508萬枚ETH資金庫引發5000美元討論,AlphaPepe籌資突破105萬美元

(SeaPRwire) -   隨著 BitMine 持有的 508 萬枚 ETH 儲備金為「5,000 美元」的討論注入動力,以太坊價格預測再次引發熱議。這個標題為 ETH 帶來了交易者在市場尋求下一波大幅上漲時所期望的那種機構敘事。 但更大的問題不僅在於以太坊能否達到 5,000 美元。問題在於,在下一波漲勢完全反映價格之前,交易者還能在哪裡找到更早的入場機會。這就是為什麼 AlphaPepe 在籌集超過 105 萬美元的第 15 階段後正受到關注。 以太坊獲得華爾街無法忽視的儲備金標題 以太坊一直在等待一個清晰的機構故事,而 BitMine 正是為交易者提供了這一點。一家企業持有數百萬枚 ETH 的儲備金改變了該資產的基調。這使得以太坊感覺不那麼像是一種投機性的山寨幣,而更像是一種資產負債表資產,供關注加密貨幣下一階段的機構使用。 這就是為什麼 5,000 美元的討論又回來了。如果以太坊持續吸引儲備金需求、ETF 關注、質押興趣和網絡升級勢頭,那麼走向更高水平的道路就更容易被捍衛。ETH 不需要迷因炒作來推動。它需要流動性、信念和一個願意將以太坊定價為核心基礎設施的市場。 儘管如此,以太坊已不再是早期。那些獲得改變人生 ETH 回報的交易者是在世界理解這個故事之前就進入的。如今,ETH 是加密貨幣中最大的資產之一。它仍然可以移動,但散戶追逐的那種倍數通常會先在較小的標的上形成。 大多數交易者在錯過後才注意到的入場機會 AlphaPepe 正處於以太坊多年前就已走過的週期階段。第 15 階段的價格為 0.01634 美元,預售已籌集超過 105 萬美元,並且在計劃於第二季度首次亮相交易所之前,已有超過 8,200 名持有者參與其中。 不同之處在於,AlphaPepe 不僅僅是出售迷因。其跨鏈 AI DEX AlphaSwap 在上市前就為該項目提供了產品故事。它旨在掃描合約、標記風險代幣、追踪巨鯨活動,並在更廣泛的市場做出反應之前,發現受到關注的幣種。 這為 AlphaPepe 提供了散戶交易者一直在尋找的那種設置。迷因角度吸引關注,AI DEX 提供實用性,而預售窗口則保持了早期入場的機會。該合約還持有 10/10 的 BlockSAFU 審計,代幣即時交付,團隊也與 Shibarium 生態系統有聯繫。 以太坊擁有機構故事。AlphaPepe 擁有早期階段的窗口。 以太坊能達到 5,000 美元嗎? 如果當前的儲備金敘事持續發展,並且買家繼續將 ETH 視為長期機構資產,那麼以太坊可以達到 5,000 美元。BitMine 的 ETH 持倉為市場發出了強有力的信號,並使企業儲備金的故事保持活躍。 但對於追逐更大倍數的交易者來說,答案是不同的。雖然以太坊達到 5,000 美元將是一個重大的舉動,但它仍然是一個大盤股的移動。AlphaPepe 仍處於其上市窗口之前,屆時市場尚未完全重新定價該代幣。 這就是為什麼進行比較很重要。以太坊可以帶動市場信心,但當信心傳播時,預售的移動速度會更快。如果 ETH 的頭條新聞持續吸引買家重返加密貨幣市場,AlphaPepe 可能會成為散戶交易者關注的較小名稱之一,以尋求更強的上漲空間。 為什麼這個預售現在正在升溫 每個週期都始於大盤股證明趨勢。比特幣首先移動。然後是以太坊。接著交易者開始尋找尚未突破的小型代幣。 AlphaPepe 現在正進入那個時刻。預售已籌集超過 105 萬美元,持有者數量不斷增長,AlphaSwap 為該項目提供的遠不止一個笑話。設置很簡單:迷因幣的影響力、AI 的實用性、審計的信心以及即將到來的第二季度上市窗口。 交易者最大的錯誤是等待確認早期錢包已經看到的頭條新聞。等到上市時,預售的入場機會就已經消失了。這就是 AlphaPepe 現在試圖擁有的窗口。 結論 隨著 BitMine 持有的 508 萬枚 ETH 儲備金為「5,000 美元」的討論注入動力,以太坊價格預測的頭條新聞越來越強勁。ETH 擁有機構故事、質押敘事和儲備金需求,可以支持重大舉動。 但更大的倍數尋找正在提前進行。AlphaPepe 已籌集超過 105 萬美元,第 15 階段的價格為 0.01634 美元,並且在計劃於第二季度首次亮相交易所之前,已有超過 8,200 名持有者參與其中。憑藉 AlphaSwap 的實用性、即時代幣交付和 10/10 的 BlockSAFU 審計,AlphaPepe 正成為交易者關注的預售項目,而以太坊則將信心帶回市場。 以太坊可能會引領機構的行動,但 AlphaPepe 則是散戶尋求早期入場的地方。 訪問 ALPHAPEPE 官方網站 常見問題解答 以太坊能達到 5,000 美元嗎? 如果儲備金需求、ETF 關注、質押活動和更廣泛的市場勢頭繼續支持 ETH,以太坊可以目標 5,000 美元。 為什麼 BitMine 對以太坊很重要? BitMine 很重要,因為其持有的 508 萬枚 ETH 儲備金加強了以太坊作為資產負債表資產的機構論點。 為什麼 AlphaPepe 現在受到關注? AlphaPepe 已籌集超過 105 萬美元,第 15 階段的價格為 0.01634 美元,並且 AlphaSwap 在計劃於第二季度首次亮相交易所之前就為該項目提供了 AI DEX 的實用性。 由 CoinFunnel 提供加密貨幣新聞稿發布。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。

Breaking Through ‘Chokepoint’ Technology: China Risun’s Hexamethylenediamine Plant Commenced Production

HONG KONG, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - At 6:18 a.m. on May 4, 2026, with the successful completion of the final production process, China Risun Group’s 50,000-ton/year caprolactam-to-hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) plant at the Yuncheng Production Base was fully integrated, achieving a one-time successful start-up and producing qualified products. By directly producing HMDA from caprolactam, China Risun has broken the long-standing foreign monopoly on adiponitrile technology (adiponitrile is the key raw material for HMDA, the intermediate for nylon 66, and is regarded as the “throat” of the nylon industry chain). This breakthrough in “chokepoint” technology lays the foundation for China Risun’s strategic deployment in high-end new materials, gradually building a million-ton-scale “nylon 6 + nylon 66 + specialty nylon” industrial cluster, and establishing a national-level nylon new materials base.Industry Background and Current DevelopmentHMDA is a critical raw material supporting the upgrading of the nylon new materials industry. Innovation and breakthroughs in its production technology are of great significance to the development of China’s chemical industry. Currently, the industry relies on the butadiene-based process to produce adiponitrile and then HMDA. Although mature, this route has notable shortcomings: on one hand, production costs remain high due to fluctuations in butadiene feedstock prices; on the other hand, the process is complex, with extremely high technical barriers, and key patents have long been monopolized by overseas enterprises.Against this backdrop, China Risun Group pioneered an independent R&D path, developing a new technology and process to directly produce HMDA from caprolactam. This innovation breaks industry monopolies, overcomes critical technical barriers, and opens up a new route for HMDA production.China Risun’s R&D Journey and Innovation AchievementsAs the world’s largest independent coke producer and supplier, and a global leader in differentiated coal chemical operations, China Risun Group has closely aligned with national strategic needs and accurately grasped industrial transformation trends. As early as 2011, the company foresaw the potential of the caprolactam industry, expanding its scale while establishing R&D teams to carry out independent research on new processes and technologies for caprolactam and downstream industries.Over more than a decade, China Risun’s R&D team conducted over a thousand laboratory-scale experiments, steadily advancing to pilot-scale construction and stable operation, and ultimately achieving full industrial implementation. Throughout the journey from lab-scale to pilot-scale, process development, and industrialization, the team tackled over a hundred research topics, secured dozens of core patents with fully independent intellectual property rights, and successfully developed the innovative process route of directly producing HMDA from caprolactam.Given the disruptive, pioneering, and strategic value of this achievement, Shandong Province has designated China Risun Group’s project as a provincial key engineering initiative.China Risun’s Core Industrial Advantages and CompetitivenessThe commissioning of the HMDA project highlights China Risun’s strengths in industrial synergy and R&D innovation, significantly enhancing its core competitiveness in nylon new materials and consolidating its leadership position in the chemical industry.1. Stable and Efficient Industrial Synergy The stable operation and full-scale production of the HMDA plant will synergize with the Group’s existing 810,000-ton/year caprolactam industry chain and upstream production lines at Yuncheng Industrial Park, including adipic acid, cyclohexanone, and nitric acid. This integration enables resource complementarity, technological upgrading, capacity expansion, and maximized efficiency.China Risun Group has a strong foundation in the aromatics industry chain, extending from benzene to caprolactam to HMDA, and further downstream into high-end industries such as polymer chips, fiber spinning, weaving, injection molding, modification, and polyurethane. This accelerates the construction of a full nylon 6 + nylon 66 + specialty nylon industry chain covering “upstream raw materials – midstream monomers – downstream products.”2. Continuous R&D and Innovation Capacity Compared with traditional processes, the caprolactam-to-HMDA technology offers clear advantages: simplified process flow, lower investment costs, higher safety, and improved raw material conversion rates.Both the process and catalyst are protected by China Risun’s independent intellectual property rights, breaking through domestic and international technical barriers in polyamide raw materials and filling a critical gap in China.3. Ongoing Process Optimization and Cost ReductionChina Risun’s caprolactam-to-HMDA technology achieves significantly lower unit production costs compared with the butadiene route. Future integration of R&D and production will further reduce operating costs.As the world’s second-largest caprolactam producer, China Risun’s scale advantages, industry chain integration, and comprehensive supporting infrastructure make its HMDA products highly cost-competitive.Future Planning and Development StrategyAround the caprolactam industry chain, China Risun Group has already developed and reserved multiple technologies and products, including HMDA and elastic nylon. With the continuous stabilization and upgrading of its core technologies, China Risun will expand its scale and inject new momentum into China’s nylon 66 and related industries.Looking ahead, China Risun Group will remain committed to innovation-driven development and service-oriented growth, deepening its vertically integrated model, strategically cultivating high-end chemicals and new materials, and systematically strengthening its new materials portfolio. The company is dedicated to helping China further overcome chemical and new materials technology barriers, building a modernized, autonomous, and controllable industrial system, and achieving domestic substitution of key materials such as nylon 66—contributing China Risun’s strength to the nation.

Taozhu New Creation Bureau Launches Dual-Store Rollout, Accelerating Shoucheng Holdings’ (697.HK) Robotics Ecosystem Toward the Consumer Market

HONG KONG, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Taozhu New Creation Bureau, the robotics technology experience brand under Shoucheng Holdings (697.HK), is accelerating its entry into core consumer scenarios. On April 30, Taozhu New Creation Bureau’s Beijing apm store officially commenced operations; on May 1, its Beijing Chaoyang Hopson One store subsequently made its debut. The coordinated launch of two stores in prime commercial districts not only expands the brand’s offline consumer touchpoints, but also marks the further extension of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics industry strategy from the investment and industrial ends to the mass consumer market.Built around the brand philosophy of “reimagining tradition through innovation,” Taozhu New Creation Bureau targets robotics technology experiences and future lifestyle consumption scenarios. It has created a multifunctional smart living space that integrates robotics displays, immersive experiences, interactive engagement, product sales, after-sales maintenance services, and industrial ecosystem exchange. At the Beijing apm store, demonstrations such as robotic dog walking displays, companion robot Q&A sessions, and smart wearable trials transform cutting-edge technology from static showcases into real consumer experiences, encouraging consumers to move from “watching technology” to “trying technology” and ultimately “buying technology.”Following the Beijing apm store’s role in opening up consumer touchpoints through immersive interaction, the launch of the Beijing Chaoyang Hopson One store further introduces this experience model into high-frequency commercial scenarios, amplifying its value in commercial conversion and scenario validation. Located in the core CBD area, Hopson One benefits from high foot traffic, a young consumer demographic, and strong family consumption frequency. This collaboration is not merely a single-store opening, but a cross-sector upgrade between a commercial district operator and a robotics industry platform. Through robot performances, technology and innovation interaction experiences, holiday-limited promotions, science education courses, and themed events, the two parties aim to create a new traffic engine for “commercial district + technology.” For the commercial district, Taozhu New Creation Bureau can help generate buzz, aggregate foot traffic, and extend customer dwell time. For robotics companies, it provides channels for real user feedback, market validation, sales conversion, and after-sales reach, supporting the transition of cutting-edge robotics products from exhibitions and laboratories into high-frequency consumer scenarios.From the perspective of Shoucheng Holdings’ overall robotics footprint, the significance of Taozhu New Creation Bureau lies in completing the commercialization loop. In recent years, Shoucheng Holdings has continued to deepen its presence across embodied intelligence, humanoid robots, medical robots, service robots, and other fields. Its investment portfolio now includes a number of companies such as Unitree Robotics, Galbot, Narwal Robotics, Xinghaitu, Songyan Dynamics, Weici Technology, and R-robot. The robotics industry is currently at a critical stage of moving from technological breakthroughs toward scaled applications. Companies generally require support from real-world scenarios, sales channels, user data, and after-sales systems. Taozhu New Creation Bureau is therefore assuming the dual role of both an “industrial outlet” and a “consumer gateway.”More notably, leveraging its accumulated capabilities in infrastructure asset operations, industrial space management, fund investment, and the REITs ecosystem, Shoucheng Holdings is building an “investment + application + consumption” industrial model. At the front end, the company secures high-quality robotics enterprises through fund investments; at the midstream level, it promotes technology deployment through industrial spaces and application scenarios; and at the back end, it reaches users and forms a closed loop of transactions and services through consumer channels such as Taozhu New Creation Bureau.For the capital market, the expansion of Taozhu New Creation Bureau offers a new window through which to assess the execution quality of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics strategy. The long-term value of the robotics industry depends not only on technological advancement, but also on whether products can enter real-life scenarios, generate stable orders, and support sustained repeat purchases. As diversified scenarios such as Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport, Beijing apm, and Hopson One are gradually rolled out, Shoucheng Holdings is advancing its robotics ecosystem from “investing early and investing accurately” toward “selling effectively, being practically usable, and delivering ongoing services.” Market participants noted that Taozhu New Creation Bureau is expected to become one of the closest links to cash flow, users, and scenarios within Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics industry layout.  Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Taozhu New Creation Bureau Expands into Beijing’s Core Commercial Districts, Accelerating Shoucheng Holdings’ (697.HK) Robotics Ecosystem into Mainstream Consumer Scenarios

HONG KONG, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Commercial competition in the robotics industry is shifting from technology showcases to real-world consumer applications. Taozhu New Creation Bureau, a robotics technology experience brand under Shoucheng Holdings (697.HK), has recently accelerated its rollout in Beijing’s core commercial districts. Following the official opening of its Beijing apm store on April 30, the brand’s Chaoyang Hopson One outlet also debuted on May 1, further strengthening the company’s offline robotics experience network.At the Beijing apm store, Taozhu New Creation Bureau continues to embody its brand philosophy of “reimagining tradition through innovation,” creating an immersive smart living space that integrates product showcases, hands-on experiences, interactive engagement, product sales, and maintenance services. Consumers can interact up close with humanoid robots, companion robots, smart wearable devices, and other products, experiencing how robotics technology is moving from being merely “watchable” to genuinely “usable” across scenarios such as household service assistance, entertainment interaction, and smart living trials.The Chaoyang Hopson One store further enhances Taozhu New Creation Bureau’s commercial appeal within high-traffic retail districts. Centered on the theme of “empowering commerce through technology and driving consumption through innovation,” the store will introduce products from ecosystem partners including Unitree Robotics, Booster Robotics, Vbot, and others. Its product offerings cover quadruped robotic dogs, educational programming robots, smart wearables, smart home devices, and other intelligent equipment. Through robot performances, technology and innovation interactions, science education courses, themed events, and holiday-limited activities, the store aims to attract young consumers, parent-child families, and technology enthusiasts, while converting experiential engagement into consumption. It is positioned as a benchmark project for robotics technology consumption experiences and is expected to support the upgrade of traditional commercial districts into integrated “technology + commerce” scenarios.From the perspective of its Beijing footprint, Taozhu New Creation Bureau has now covered locations including Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport, Beijing apm, and Chaoyang Hopson One, forming a multi-dimensional robotics consumption network that connects industrial landmarks, transportation hubs, and core commercial districts. Shougang Park serves as a venue for industrial showcase and technology experience, the airport store reaches high-mobility traveler groups, while Beijing apm and Hopson One tap into core urban retail consumption scenarios. Together, these locations form the front-end platform for showcasing, experiencing, and selling Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics products.Meanwhile, Taozhu New Creation Bureau is also promoting nationwide replicability. The brand previously made its debut in Chengdu’s Chunxi Road commercial district, leveraging a key consumption landmark in Southwest China to test a consumer pathway combining immersive interaction, on-site experience, and instant purchase. As the brand expands into more core commercial districts in major cities, Taozhu New Creation Bureau is expected to replicate its Beijing model across the national market.For Shoucheng Holdings, Taozhu New Creation Bureau will further complete its robotics commercialization value chain. The company invests in high-quality robotics enterprises at the front end, introduces products into diversified scenarios such as industrial parks, airports, and commercial districts at the midstream level, and completes a closed loop of experience, sales, maintenance, and services through offline stores at the back end. As the robotics industry enters a phase of accelerated application deployment, Taozhu New Creation Bureau is becoming Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics consumption gateway closest to users, orders, and cash flow.
