Through these advantages, Viomi is not only meeting the growing global demand for clean, fresh, and healthy drinking water but also setting a new benchmark for sustainable development in the water filtration sector.Financial OutlookFrom a financial perspective, Viomi is optimistic about its full-year 2024 performance, with expected revenues from continuing operations projected to be between 1.7 billion and 1.9 billion RMB. The Company anticipates profits from these operations to range between 110 million and 130 million RMB. This positive outlook is closely tied to the company’s strategic business reorganization completed in August 2024, which involved divesting certain IoT@Home businesses and assets in order to concentrate on its core water purification operations. This restructuring initiative aims to optimize the company’s business structure, enhance operational efficiency, and focus on R&D and innovation in the water purification field. For the first half of 2024, Viomi reported net revenues of 1.04 billion RMB, with net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders reaching 6 million RMB, marking a successful turnaround. Excluding the divested businesses, revenue from core water purification and related services exceeded 800 million RMB, with operating profit surpassing 50 million RMB. The Company’s overall gross margin increased from 22.0% in the previous year to 24.8%, while operating expenses decreased by 19.2% year-on-year, driven by continuous cost-reduction and efficiency-improvement efforts. Viomi’s strategic focus on its core business not only enhances its profitability but also strengthens investor confidence in the company’s future. With continued investments in the water purification sector, Viomi is well-positioned to maintain growth throughout the second half of the year, achieving its annual performance goals.At CES 2025, Viomi showcased its industry leadership with the Vortex 8’s innovative filtration technology and versatile applications, marking a significant milestone in the Company’s technological progress. This development underscores the rise of Chinese technology on the global stage and injects new momentum into the pursuit of a better future.

We launched our new collection of hipseat baby carriers at the fair this year and have received positive feedback from international buyers. We have been in touch with a potential distributor from Canada and a potential buyer from a large department store chain in Thailand. We expect to generate at least US$1 million in new orders from the fair.”The Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair showcased the latest in creative art supplies, gift stationery, school and office supplies.

HONG KONG, Jan 9, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – More than 90% of manufacturing businesses in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) have either completed their supply chain transformation or have the process well underway. This is the key finding of GBA Supply Chain Diversity: Enhancing Connectivity Among ASEAN, Hong Kong, and the Mainland, a joint report published today by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and UOB Hong Kong.The report also found that 72% of GBA-based manufacturing companies have already committed to actively bolstering the resilience of their supply chains, with the remainder expected to follow suit within two years. In another positive finding, a significant proportion of survey respondents saw Hong Kong as an indispensable link between the GBA and the ASEAN bloc, while also having a high regard for the city’s expertise in the green finance and professional services sectors.The report’s conclusions were based on an in-depth survey of more than 600 GBA-based companies conducted in the third quarter of 2024. Within its comprehensive remit, the research also set out to determine the key drivers of supply chain diversification, identify the overseas markets GBA businesses are primarily targeting and evaluate the success of the green and sustainable development initiatives implemented by such enterprises.In order to track the evolving trends, the survey findings were compared with the results of two HKTDC-UOB Hong Kong studies conducted in 2023: Navigating Connectivity – Exploring ASEAN Opportunities for the Greater Bay Area and Sustainability in the GBA: Unlocking Opportunities and Empowering Growth.Strengthening Supply Chain ResilienceFor most GBA-based businesses, the mainland remained their preferred choice when it came to both diversifying their supply chain arrangements and broadening their range of production options. For those looking to diversify their supply chains by incorporating overseas locations, ASEAN was the number one choice, with 84% of the surveyed enterprises indicating they had plans in place to maintain or expand their production/sourcing activities within the bloc. The primary reason for this preference (as cited by 39% of respondents) was the positive nature of China-ASEAN trade relations, with the benefits accruing from both the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) also widely acknowledged.Of the individual ASEAN markets, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia were the preferred choices for both current and future business activities. The rising level of business interest in the Philippines, Cambodia, Laos and Brunei, however, was also notable.The key challenges to successfully entering the various ASEAN markets, meanwhile, were seen as finding suitable and capable local service providers (as cited by 32% of respondents), followed by maintaining data security (25%) and finding talent with the required expertise (25%). Tellingly, many of the issues designated as primary concerns in the 2023 study – difficulties in navigating local government policies and regulations relating to foreign investment and culture/language barriers – featured less prominently in the more recent survey.In line with the perceived success of the overall upgrade programme, the majority of survey respondents (60%) now see the GBA’s supply chains as characterised by a high level of innovation, collectively underpinned by the extensive deployment of effective digital solutions.ESG and SustainabilityIn addition to their focus on bolstering the resilience of their supply chains, many GBA businesses remained committed to accelerating their ESG initiatives. As a sign of this, 81% of survey respondents had active green and sustainable development programmes in place – 16 percentage points higher than the 65% recorded in 2023.Respondents also indicated a greater willingness to increase their level of ESG investment, with an average increase of about 25% planned over the next two years. This will see the relevant budget allocations average HK$462,535, well above the 2023 figure of HK$371,333.Commenting on the findings, Irina Fan, the HKTDC’s Director of Research said: “GBA companies are now demonstrating a real commitment to sustainability, as shown by the planned 25% increase in ESG investment over the next two years. As there are about three million enterprises in the GBA, this could equate to total ESG-related investment of some HK$1.3 trillion.”Adaline Zheng, CEO of UOB Hong Kong, said: “As businesses in GBA continue to evolve and adapt to emerging trends, we are committed to supporting their journey towards sustainable growth and resilience. By leveraging our robust foreign direct investment advisory unit and strong Hong Kong platform, we provide tailored solutions and insights to facilitate GBA companies’ expansion into ASEAN markets. The increasing focus on diversifying supply chains and enhancing connectivity with ASEAN underscores the pivotal role of collaboration and innovation in today’s dynamic market. Together, we empower businesses to not only thrive in a competitive landscape but also to contribute positively to our shared future.”Hong Kong: The GBA-ASEAN Super ConnectorAnother clear finding of the 2024 survey was the success Hong Kong has found in carving out its unique niche as the GBA-ASEAN super-connector.This was reflected in the score GBA-based businesses accorded both Hong Kong’s Connectivity with the ASEAN Bloc and Hong Kong's Connectivity with Mainland GBA Cities – eight out of 10, a one-point year-on-year increase.In a further endorsement, 80% of 2024 respondents indicated a willingness to both learn more about Hong Kong’s green professional services and to use such services more frequently, a significant increase on the 2023 figure of 70%.Notes for EditorsThe GBA is the Greater Bay Area (also known as the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area), a priority development area that comprises nine mainland cities in Guangdong province (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Huizhou, and Zhaoqing) as well as two Special Administrative Regions, Hong Kong, and Macao.Related materials- HKTDC Research: https://research.hktdc.com/en- The report in Chinese – GBA Supply Chain Diversity: Enhancing Connectivity Among ASEAN, Hong Kong and Mainland China can be downloaded from the websites of HKTDC and UOB Hong Kong.Photos Download: https://bit.ly/4j6hvvjAdaline Zheng, CEO of UOB Hong Kong (left) and Irina Fan, Director of HKTDC Research (right), release the GBA Supply Chain Diversity: Enhancing Connectivity among ASEAN, Hong Kong and Mainland China research reportIrina Fan, Director of HKTDC ResearchAdaline Zheng, CEO of UOB Hong KongMedia enquiriesHKTDC’s Communications & Public Affairs Department:Katy Wong      Tel: (852) 2584 4524        Email: katy.ky.wong@@hktdc.orgClayton Lauw   Tel: (852) 2584 4472        Email: clayton.y.lauw@hktdc.orgUOB Hong Kong:Susanna Liu    Tel: (852) 2123 7537        Email: susanna.liuwy@uobgroup.comSarah Tsang    Tel: (852) 2123 7536        Email: sarah.tsangsw@uobgroup.comYuan Tung Financial Relations:Tiffany Leung  Tel: (852) 3428 2361        Email: tleung@yuantung.com.hkHing-fung Wong Tel: (852) 3428 3122        Email: hfwong@yuantung.com.hkAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

深圳, 2025年1月9日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 康哲藥業控股有限公司（「康哲藥業」）欣然宣佈，於2025年1月8日，通過其全資附屬公司與Alpha Cognition Inc.（「Alpha」）就用於治療輕度至中度阿爾茨海默型癡呆症狀的改良型新藥ZUNVEYL（benzgalantamine delayed-release tablets）（「ZUNVEYL」或「產品」）簽訂許可、合作與經銷協議（「協議」），獲得了在亞洲（除日本）、澳洲、新西蘭（「區域」）開發、註冊、生產、進口、出口和商業化產品的獨家權利，Alpha保留在區域內生產供應的權利。合作期限自協議簽署之日起二十年，到期後除非任一方通知終止，否則每五年自動延期。ZUNVEYL作為近十年來美國食品和藥物管理局（FDA）批准的第二個阿爾茨海默病口服療法的藥品，具有潛在更優的胃腸道安全性，有望提高患者的用藥依從性，從而使患者獲益。康哲藥業深耕中樞神經系統治療領域多年，持續佈局與開發全球差異化創新產品，鞏固優勢專科領域競爭實力。ZUNVEYL將使康哲藥業創新藥產品矩陣更加多元化，並可與在售創新藥維圖可（地西泮鼻噴霧劑）、原研品牌藥黛力新（氟呱噻噸美利曲辛片），以及在研創新藥注射用Y-3（用於卒中治療的新型腦保護劑）等系列中樞神經品種協同增效。康哲藥業將依託被驗證的臨床開發能力及合規高效的商業化體系，儘早實現ZUNVEYL在中國上市，為阿爾茲海默病患者的認知障礙治療帶來新的用藥選擇。關於ZUNVEYL ZUNVEYL於2024年7月獲得美國FDA批准上市，屬於新一代乙醯膽鹼酯酶抑制劑（AChEI），通過抑制乙醯膽鹼酯酶活性、提高中樞乙醯膽鹼水準從而改善阿爾茨海默病患者的認知和記憶功能。ZUNVEYL為加蘭他敏的前體藥物，以惰性形式經過胃部和腸道，在肝臟代謝成活性成分並釋放到血液中。ZUNVEYL通過這種作用機制達到與加蘭他敏相同的治療效果，並潛在地降低胃腸道不良反應、改善耐受性。加蘭他敏自2001年獲FDA批准以來，在輕度至中度阿爾茨海默型癡呆症狀治療中已積累了豐富的療效證據並展現出長期臨床獲益[1]。此外，ZUNVEYL所有研究中記錄的胃腸道不良事件低於2%，並且未觀察到失眠[2]。與ZUNVEYL相關的用途專利，已在中國獲得授權。關於阿爾茨海默病阿爾茨海默病是一種慢性進行性神經退行性疾病，表現為記憶力及其他認知功能的進行性減退，其中部分病人進展為癡呆。癡呆是一種以獲得性認知功能損害為核心，並導致患者日常生活能力、學習能力、工作能力和社會交往能力明顯減退的綜合征，阿爾茨海默型癡呆占所有類型癡呆的50%至70%[3,4]。根據發表於《Lancet Public Health》的流行病學調查結果[5]，中國的阿爾茨海默型癡呆患者約有983萬人，其中，輕度至中度阿爾茨海默型癡呆患者約793萬[6]。隨著老齡化趨勢的加劇，未來患者人數將進一步上升，疾病負擔也將隨之加重。目前阿爾茨海默病臨床用藥主要分為改善認知症狀及延緩疾病進展兩類[7]，AChEI屬於前者。根據《中國阿爾茨海默病患者診療現狀調研報告》[8]，較高的副作用發生率是阿爾茨海默病現有藥物的主要痛點之一，提示阿爾茨海默病患者對於更加安全的療法仍存在迫切的需求。關於ALPHAAlpha是一家商業階段的生物製藥公司，致力於開發治療神經退行性疾病患者的藥物，例如阿爾茨海默病和伴有輕度創傷性腦損傷的認知障礙。2024年7月，Alpha針對其ZUNVEYL的新藥申請獲得FDA批准用於治療輕度至中度阿爾茨海默病。Alpha現專注于開發ZUNVEYL口服片劑配方的商業製造和商業銷售，此外，Alpha還在開發三個臨床前項目，即與美金剛聯合用於治療中至重度阿爾茨海默病的ZUNVEYL、用於治療輕至中度阿爾茨海默病的ALPHA-1062舌下製劑以及用於治療伴有輕度創傷性腦損傷認知障礙的ALPHA-1062鼻內製劑。有關Alpha及其產品的更多資訊，請訪問其官方網站：https://www.alphacognition.com/。關於康哲藥業康哲藥業是一家鏈接醫藥創新與商業化，把控產品全生命週期管理的開放式平臺型企業，致力於提供有競爭力的產品和服務，滿足尚未滿足的醫療需求。康哲藥業專注於全球首創（FIC）及同類最優（BIC）的創新產品，並高效推進創新產品臨床研究開發和商業化進程，賦能科研成果向診療實踐的持續轉化，造福患者。康哲藥業聚焦專科領域，擁有被驗證的商業化能力，廣泛的渠道覆蓋和多疾病領域專家資源，核心在售產品已獲領先的學術與市場地位。康哲藥業圍繞優勢專科領域不斷縱深發展，以鞏固心腦血管/消化業務競爭力，並將皮膚醫美、眼科業務獨立運營，培育專科小領域的大龍頭，提升專科規模效率。同時業務版圖拓展至東南亞市場，著力成為全球藥企進軍東南亞市場的「橋頭堡」，助力康哲藥業高質量持續健康發展。參考文獻/資料1.

Indonesia has long been an important partner for Hong Kong. As we meet local government and business leaders on this visit, we look to strengthen our bilateral ties.”He added, “We have long been known for our strengths in traditional sectors, such as finance, trade, logistics and professional services. With the tremendous advances we have been making in newer sectors, such as innovation and sustainability, many opportunities await Indonesian businesses in our dynamic world city.”Mr Chan, in his speech, stated that Hong Kong enjoys the unique advantage of one country, two systems, enabling it to serve as a superconnector and super value-adder between China and the rest of the world.He said, "Under ‘one country’, we enjoy the full support of our motherland to develop as international financial, shipping and trade centres as well as an international hub for high-calibre talent. We also benefit from the national development strategy of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, or GBA.”He added, “The GBA is not just a huge consumer market. It pools together the financial and professional service capabilities of Hong Kong as well as the tech and advanced manufacturing capabilities of Shenzhen and other cities, like Dongguan and Huizhou.”And under “two systems”, he pointed out, “Foreign companies with a presence in Hong Kong, including Indonesian companies, can leverage the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) between the mainland and Hong Kong to gain easy and unparalleled access to the immense mainland market.”Dr Edi Prio Pambudi said, “We aim to achieve ambitious growth targets, as we work towards our vision of becoming an advanced economy by 2045, including a GDP growth rate of 8%, as outlined by President Prabowo. Achieving this target requires robust collaboration between Indonesia and key partners, like Hong Kong. It is imperative that we continue to seek support and engagement of Hong Kong corporations to further drive Indonesia’s economic development."He added, “Hong Kong’s contributions as investors and innovators are essential to achieving our goals to create a diversified and resilient economy that will generate high-quality jobs, foster sustainable development and ensure long-term prosperity for both Indonesia and Hong Kong, while also driving Indonesia towards economic milestones that benefit not only our nation, but also the global community."Notable speakers discussing opportunities in finance, smart city and sustainabilityAt the symposium, leaders of the Indonesian business communities highlighted how Hong Kong plays an essential role as a superconnector and super value-adder, linking Mainland China and the rest of the world, especially the dynamic ASEAN region, for businesses across diverse sectors, including finance, smart city, sustainability, transportation, innovation and technology (I&T) and more.

香港, 2025年1月8日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近日，粵港澳大灣區Robotaxi發展又有新動態。12月27日，南沙、橫琴、前海、寶安共同簽署了《智慧網聯汽車示範應用試點互認合作框架協議》。4地將率先合作構建大灣區智慧網聯汽車示範應用試點互認路徑，推動智慧網聯汽車示範區互聯互通和開放共享。首批試點互認的合作企業包括如祺出行等4家企業，並在簽約儀式上獲授牌，意味著這4家企業在大灣區開展Robotaxi業務將獲得更有力的政策支持和服務，可為其進一步擴大運營規模創造條件。從行業來看，11月至今中國智駕領域的公司動作頻頻，為即將到來的Robotaxi大規模商業化落地做著各種前置準備。小馬智行先後與北汽新能源、廣汽埃安就L4無人駕駛車型開發量產建立合作；百度Robotaxi獲得香港批出的首張路測執照；文遠知行與Uber合作計劃將Robotaxi落地到阿聯酋。光大證券研報稱，Robotaxi作為自動駕駛商業化落地終極模式，接下來在中國將迎來高速增長階段，預計2030年國內Robotaxi市場規模可達390億美元，2025-2030年年複合增長率約達200%。'金三角'成Robotaxi主流發展模式業內分析認為，中國在Robotaxi商業化落地上已呈現出全球領先優勢。除了政策和技術的推動因素外，在一定程度上也得益於行業在發展早期就形成'專業分工+深度合作綁定'的共識，採取'主機廠+自動駕駛公司+出行平台'的金三角模式，實現量產、技術研發和運營協同合作優勢互補。據了解，早在2021年左右，國內就形成了'廣汽集團-如祺出行-小馬智行/文遠知行'、'上汽集團-享道出行-Momenta'等多個合作陣營。而兩年後的2023年10月，Uber也宣布與Waymo、捷豹合作，正式開啟'金三角'合作模式，隨後合作陣容不斷擴大。華鑫證券認為，各國Robotaxi商業化發展路徑正逐步趨同，除了特斯拉等個別企業外，更多公司轉向'金三角'模式，預計合作、合資或會在Robotaxi未來一段相當長的時間內成為主流運營模式。事實上，對整個智駕產業鏈來說，生態合作已成為近年重要議題之一。在地平線、如祺出行、文遠知行、小馬智行等多家公司在IPO招股書中，均表示通過擴大產業生態合作持續推進其技術和服務商業化落地。其中，以今年7月登陸港交所的如祺出行為例，其IPO招股書顯示，股東陣容包括廣汽、小馬智行、文遠知行和滴滴自動駕駛。而其他正在IPO路上的出行平台如享道出行等，股東名單同樣不乏主機廠和智駕技術公司。出行平台已成為產業鏈上下游積極團結的對象之一。有長期關注Robotaxi市場的分析人士認為，Robotaxi本質是出行服務，在運營環節有望誕生一到兩家核心玩家，像如祺出行這樣有主機廠和智駕公司雙重加持、且已開始Robotaxi佈局的公司或能獲得先發優勢。而目前，如祺出行Robotaxi服務已覆蓋廣州南沙、深圳寶安、南山和橫琴粵澳深度合作區。數據已为智駕產業必爭資源出行平台成為智駕公司積極合作的對象，背後還有一個重要推動因素 - 數據。隨著端到端大模型技術應用，自動駕駛技術獲得也獲得突破性發展，隨之進入數據驅動階段，數據成為了驅動技術持續迭代最重要的養料。智駕公司要持續提升數據規模，比起投入大量資源擴大自有數據採集車隊，與已佈局Robotaxi、擁有大量運營車輛的出行平台合作，似乎是更顯著的選擇。以如祺出行為例，該平台在大灣區用戶滲透率超過45%，且已有自動駕駛技術商業化落地場景及路測數據。2024年6月，如祺出行成為全國首批獲准開展L3自動駕駛上路通行試點。不久前的廣州車展上，如祺出行重點發布了基於自動駕駛運營優勢和自動駕駛數據解決方案構建的數據閉環飛輪，包括如祺Robotaxi運營落地進展，以及如祺眾源地圖、4D標註等技術、工具及解決方案的最新成果。今年以來，受智駕技術進入端到端大模型時代、自動駕駛價值空間擴大等因素帶動，AI、大模型、數據要素、Robotaxi、車路雲等板塊持續受到全球市場關注。關於如祺出行科技有限公司如祺出行是中國的出行服務公司，服務並連接出行行業的各類參與者，包括乘客、司機、整車製造商、車輛服務提供商及自動駕駛解決方案供應商。公司提供(i)出行服務（包括網約車、Robotaxi及順風車服務）；(ii)技術服務，主要為AI數據及模型解決方案以及高精地圖；及(iii)為司機及運力加盟商提供全套支援的車隊銷售及維修。公司由廣汽集團和騰訊聯合發起創立，其後引入一家自動駕駛解決方案供應商小馬智行作為戰略股東。通過連接汽車製造商、互聯網公司和自動駕駛解決方案供應商，公司是推動自動駕駛技術商業化的先行者。多元化背景的股東提升了公司的市場洞察力並增進公司對整個出行服務行業價值鏈上主要利益相關方的瞭解，從而使得公司能夠整合汽車和出行服務行業的資源。本新聞稿由皓天財經集團有限公司代表如祺出行科技有限公司發佈詳情垂詢：皓天財經集團有限公司Angie Li & Jason Lai電話：(852) 6150 8598 / (852) 9798 0715電郵：projectrice@wsfg.hk Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
