HONG KONG, Sep 2, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On August 29, Yuzhou Group Holdings Company Limited (01628.HK) announced that its offshore debt management and restructuring efforts, which spanned over three years, have yielded decisive results. The offshore restructuring has officially taken effect, marking a key step in improving the Company’s liquidity and optimizing its financial structure, laying a solid foundation for future robust operations.Optimize Capital Structure, Enhance Financial Stability and Achieve Sustainable DevelopmentAfter multiple rounds of negotiations, the final arrangement encompassed 15 senior notes, one perpetual bond, four secured notes, one syndicated loan, and one bilateral loan. As consideration for the restructuring, Yuzhou Group issued new bonds with an optimized structure, including short-term, medium-term, and long-term bonds. This arrangement significantly reduced financing costs, lowered the Group’s outstanding offshore debt, alleviated financial pressure, optimized its capital structure, and enhanced financial soundness and sustainability.Gain Support from Shareholders and the Market, Consolidate the Interests of all Parties, and Work Together to Move ForwardAs a key component of the plan, certain creditors will receive 5,645 million newly issued shares, representing approximately 37.94% of Yuzhou Group’s issued shares after the restructuring. This further solidified the shared interests of creditors and the Company. In addition, Yuzhou Group raised nearly HK$100 million through a rights issue to cover restructuring-related expenses and replenish working capital. The arrangement not only set a market precedent but also garnered a positive response from minority shareholders, reflecting strong recognition and confidence from shareholders and the market in both the rationale of the plan and the Group’s future development prospects.The core objective of this restructuring plan was to adjust the scale of Yuzhou Group’s offshore debt to a reasonable level, restore the soundness and sustainability of the capital structure, and ensure the continued operation and healthy development of the business. At the same time, the plan aims to ease liquidity pressure, align the new repayment schedule with the operating environment of China’s real estate industry and the Group, and ensure the fair treatment and protection of all stakeholders’ rights, striving to maximize overall value.Respond to Policy Calls, Fulfill Social Responsibilities, and Consolidate Corporate ValueFollowing the completion of the restructuring, Yuzhou Group will continue to respond to policy initiatives, fulfill its commitment to “guaranteeing housing delivery”, strengthen cash flow management, enhance internal revenue generation capabilities, and ensure stable business operations. Structural deleveraging measures are expected to help the Group achieve a long-term sustainable capital structure and reduce overall operational risks. The Company will steadily enhance its operating capacity and remain focused on creating value for all stakeholders.Industry observers note that the completion of the restructuring not only relieves near-term financial pressure but also represents an important step for Yuzhou Group in pursuing long-term stability and growth amid the ongoing adjustment of China’s real estate sector.

First in Sabah and second in Sarawak, totaling to 14 digital classrooms across ASEANSimunjan - SARAWAK, Sept 2, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - EdgePoint Infrastructure (“EdgePoint”), an ASEAN-based independent telecommunications infrastructure company, has announced two additional digital classrooms in East Malaysia under its regional corporate social responsibility (CSR) Connectivity for Communities (CFC). The first digital classroom is in Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Kuala Abai in Kota Belud, Sabah and the second was launched by their local partners in Sarawak, Demanlink Connexion Sdn Bhd, in Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Simunjan No. 1.Both initiatives share the objective of bringing connectivity to underserved areas, fostering digital inclusivity and bridging the digital gap, and brings the total number of digital classrooms established to four in Malaysia and fourteen across ASEAN.At the launch of the digital classroom in Kota Belud, Muniff Kamaruddin, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of EdgePoint Towers, said, “The launch of the two new digital classrooms in Sabah and Sarawak is an extension of our focus to bridge the digital divide across underserved communities in East Malaysia. We have seen how students in other locations have benefited from connectivity and we are committed to creating more opportunities for education and growth by bringing digital access to those who need it most. The response to our CFC programs has been very encouraging, with surrounding communities also using access to the internet to improve their quality of lives. We are grateful for the continued support from all stakeholders who have worked together with us to equip teachers, students, and their families with the tools to achieve equitable digital literacy towards upward social mobility.Present to launch the digital classroom in Simunjan, Sarawak were Demanlink Connexion Sdn. Bhd, and representatives from the Sarawak State Education Department and Simunjan District Education Office. Hanad Yusuf, CEO of Demanlink, said "Connectivity is more than just access to the internet for students in Sarawak, it is access to opportunity. Many rural areas in Sarawak still struggle with limited or no internet coverage, which continues to widen the digital divide and hinder access to education, economic participation, healthcare and other essential services. The Connectivity for Communities project is helping to close that gap by empowering children in rural communities here with the tools to thrive in a digital world. We launched the first digital classroom last year in Long Miri, and we have already seen real results where student attendance and exam scores have improved significantly, as they now have access to online learning platforms, more engaging teaching material and even options for self-improvement online."In the past year, EdgePoint launched two other schools in Malaysia located in Karak, Pahang and Miri, Sarawak. The CFC program includes ongoing digital literacy initiatives, delivered in partnership with local teachers and NGOs, to ensure students can maximise their learning and navigate the digital future confidently. To date, the program has impacted over 7,800 students in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines with significant improvement in attendance and exam scores recorded among these students. Our in-house assessments have shown that students in Malaysia have recorded an 85% improvement in digital skills. EdgePoint aims to expand the program to a total of 23 schools by the end of 2025, reaffirming its commitment to supporting digital inclusion and literacy in underserved communities across ASEAN. ABOUT EDGEPOINT INFRASTRUCTUREEdgePoint Infrastructure is an ASEAN based independent telecommunications infrastructure company that aspires towards Building a Connected, Digital ASEAN.

Lac Knife Graphite meets and exceeds U.S. DoD standards while delivering ~47wt.% large flake recovery for advanced material markets in recent pilot run conducted by AETCOttawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - September 2, 2025) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company") a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits in Quebec, is pleased to announce results from a continuous pilot beneficiation program performed by American Energy Technologies Company ("AETC") on its 100%-owned Lac Knife project. The adjustment from 97.8% total graphite content ("TGC") to 95% TGC resulted in a substantial increase in coarse flake recovery. Large and jumbo flakes increased from approximately 33% to 47%, materially improving economics and diversifying market opportunities in a product portfolio approach planned by Focus.To achieve these results, Focus commissioned AETC to run an upstream beneficiation circuit consisting of 18 processing units connected in series in a continuous locked-cycle campaign. Over 800 kilograms of Lac Knife graphite-bearing rock was processed, producing a concentrate that not only met market specifications but also preserved natural flake size. By producing concentrate in line with real-world demand specifications, Focus maximizes downstream value while enhancing exposure to premium, non-battery markets.In Focus's original pilot plant testing program conducted at SGS Minerals ("SGS") in Lakefield (2013-2014), the objective of achieving a graphite concentrate grade of 97.8% TGC at 90.7% total recovery was successfully met. These results formed the technical foundation of the Lac Knife Feasibility Study (updated 2023), which outlined a process plant designed to produce 50,000 tonnes per year of graphite concentrate, including 47,781 tonnes of high-grade 97.8% TGC salable concentrate from a feed grade of 14.8% TGC. The process flow sheet developed through this work includes crushing, grinding, polishing, flotation, concentrate dewatering and drying, concentrate screening and bagging, and tailings filtration and loadout. While the Feasibility Study demonstrated Lac Knife's ability to deliver ultra-high-purity graphite, subsequent market feedback confirmed that such high purities are not required - and do not command a price premium - in most anode or industrial applications.As a benchmark, the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency ("DLA") Strategic Materials program has defined procurement specifications for natural graphite as -100 mesh concentrate. Lac Knife material comfortably exceeds U.S. defense-grade requirements, while simultaneously aligning with anode makers' specifications for EVs and stationary energy storage.Specification DLA RequirementFocus Graphite - AETC PilotFixed Carbon (TGC)≥ 94%95.5%Ash≤ 5%4.5%Volatile Matter≤ 1.2%0.63 wt.% (600 °C)Moisture≤ 0.5%<0.5%Size Distribution<20% retained above 100 mesh; ≤20% passing below 325 meshD10 = 33 µm; D50 = 120 µm; D90 = 272 µm; mean 153 µm Table 1: DLA Strategic Materials Program Benchmark vs. Focus Graphite Lac Knife AETC Pilot ResultsNote: As of August 2025, The DLA has indicated its intent to source 49,433 tonnes of natural flake graphite over the next five years (CIP-Hammond, Indiana)Coarse graphite flakes are rare and command premium pricing in markets where physical size is the key differentiator. On October 20, 2023, China announced its restrictions on certain graphite exports to the United States and other counties, with the new regulations taking effect on December 1, 2023. These rules, requiring export permits for high-grade natural and synthetic graphite products, were introduced under the banner of protecting China's national security. Most projects worldwide produce very little of this unique material. With its coarse flake profile, Lac Knife positions Focus to supply several high-margin speciality applications:Jumbo flake (+30, +25, +20 mesh; ~5% of total, up to 0.84 mm in size) - High-end EMI shielding in electronics and defense equipment, corrosion resistant gaskets in marine and aerospace, crucibles for specialty alloys and rare earth processing, radar absorbing and steal composites, icephobic for aircraft and ships, precursor for graphene platelets.+50 mesh (~15%) and +80 mesh (~24%) - Expandable and expanded graphite for fire-suppressant foams. With PFAS-based aqueous film-forming foams ("AFFF"), otherwise known as forever chemicals, being phased out amid billion-dollar lawsuits, demand for safe, graphite-based alternatives is expected to surge. Processed graphite generated from these flake sizes are also used in lead-acid and premium performance alkaline batteries.+100 mesh - Recently proven in a hypersonic rocket nozzle launch, this fraction is valued in aerospace, defense, semiconductor and advanced materials markets.-100 mesh - Tailored for the battery-grade anode market in both EVs and stationary battery energy storage systems ("BESS") applications, ensuring compliance with global demand.Additionally, Lac Knife graphite demonstrates exceptionally low volatile content, a critical property for the most demanding nuclear and defense applications. While many companies can produce standard battery-grade graphite, nature rarely yields deposits with such a high proportion of coarse flakes. Lac Knife's increase in large and jumbo flake recovery from approximately 33% to 47% further strengthens Focus's strategic position. This advantage not only supports advanced processing pathways but also enables the Company to deliver environmentally friendly materials to market, creating opportunities to replace PFAS-based "forever chemicals" with safer, sustainable alternatives."The results from this pilot program reinforce Lac Knife's unique position as one of the few graphite projects capable of delivering both defense-grade and battery-grade material at scale," said Dean Hanisch, CEO of Focus Graphite. "By achieving market-aligned concentrate specifications, we are not only positioned to supply the EV and energy storage sectors, but also to serve premium aerospace, defense, and specialty markets. This dual-market advantage reduces risk, expands opportunity, and underscores Focus Graphite's role as a strategic supplier in North America's critical minerals supply chain."It should be noted that this pilot program was conducted on more than 800 kilograms of Lac Knife graphite, and while the results are consistent with expectations, they may not fully represent the variability of the entire deposit. Focus intends to conduct larger scale testing in the future.Image 1: Focus Graphite Lac Knife Natural Flake Graphite Master Concentrate, C of ATo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/264723_7a22223b44e3fbc5_001full.jpgQualified PersonsThe technical content disclosed in this news release was reviewed and approved by Réjean Girard, P.Geo.

HONG KONG, Sep 3, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Driven by rapid digital technology development and the mega event economy, digital payments have become the mainstream payment method in Hong Kong and Mainland China. According to the Digital 2025: Hong Kong report1, Hong Kong had 5.78 million digital payment users in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 14.0%. Among them, 37.1% of users made mobile payments each month. Furthermore, 45% of consumer goods e-commerce purchases were made via mobile phones, reflecting strong demand for mobile payments.The Payment Cards Group Limited (“PCG”), a cloud-native payment processor and acquirer rooted in Hong Kong, participated in “The Best of the Best Masterchef Recommendation Restaurant (BOBM) 2025” awards organized by the Asia Art of Cuisine Society (AOC) on September 2, 2025. The event not only honored excellence across Hong Kong, Macau, and Mainland China’s food and beverage (“F&B") industries but also served as a key platform for exploring future development trends in F&B and related sectors.At the event, PCG officially launched “AbbyPay,” a POS-free digital payment solution. Designed to tackle current industry pain points, “AbbyPay” speeds up transaction processing and reduces operational costs for F&B and retail sectors, while helping merchants tap into new opportunities presented by the mega event economy. It also provides flexible, secure, and efficient payment support to Mainland F&B brands, facilitating rapid market entry into Hong Kong.PCG launches “AbbyPay,” a POS-free digital payment solution, at “The Best of the Best Masterchef Recommendation Restaurant (BOBM) 2025” awardsPCG team and Johnny Lai, Chairman of the Asia Art of Cuisine Society are pictured together“AbbyPay,” a next-generation POS-free payment solution enabling seamless payments anytime, anywherePowered by PCG, the “AbbyPay” SoftPOS app transforms any NFC-enabled Android smartphone (with iOS version on the roadmap) into a payment device, eliminating the high investment, complex operation, and maintenance costs of traditional POS terminals. Traditional POS terminals require an upfront fee of HK$1,000 to HK$2,000 each in Hong Kong, with some companies charging rental fees. SoftPOS allows existing NFC-enabled smartphones or tablets to process payments, thereby nearly eliminating such costs. This solution provides cost savings for Hong Kong merchants, particularly small and micro businesses like taxis, street market sellers, and delivery services. With no additional hardware required and virtually zero setup fees, merchants simply pay transaction fees, greatly easing their digital transformation journey. With just a smartphone, merchants can accept payments flexibly in various scenarios including restaurants, shops, markets, exhibitions, pop-up stores, transportation, and logistics—enabling low-cost payment experiences anytime, anywhere.Building three competitive advantages and elevating payment experienceBeyond its convenient and ready-to-use features, “AbbyPay” boasts three competitive advantages. First, powered by PCG’s cloud processor, it offers stable, powerful performance meeting the needs of large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) alike, providing efficient, flexible payment solutions. In F&B, waiter can collect payments at tables to enhance service efficiency and customer experience; in retail, salesperson can accept payments at the shop floor to reduce queues; at exhibitions or pop-up stores, the instant launch of the app enables rapid transactions; in transportation, drivers can collect fares directly on phones, freeing up POS terminal space; in logistics, delivery staff can collect cash on delivery; even in insurance, agents can use tablets to collect premiums, avoiding entry of sensitive card information. These applications boost business efficiency and create smoother payment experiences for consumers. Additionally, SoftPOS centralizes transaction management and leverages real-time backend data and automated financial reports to save significant labor and administrative costs, helping merchants optimize workforce allocation and reduce administrative expenses.Second, “AbbyPay” supports major payment methods including VISA, Mastercard, FPS, Alipay, WeChat Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Upon transaction completion, it instantly generates a QR code for customers to scan and download the electronic receipt, fostering a cashless and paperless society and promoting green and sustainable operation.Third, “AbbyPay” holds security certifications such as PCI DSS Level 1 and CPoC standards. It uses end-to-end data encryption, tokenization, and dynamic keys to provide security on par with traditional POS terminals. Moreover, it offers ready-to-use, secure payment solutions for SMEs without requiring dedicated IT resources or additional hardware, safeguarding cardholder information and reducing fraud risks to ensure secure payments for both consumers and merchants.Raymond Yiu, General Manager of PCG, said, “Despite significant operating pressures in Hong Kong industries, especially F&B and retail, challenges bring new opportunities. In particular, the mega event economy has created strong demand for flexible payment solutions. ‘AbbyPay’ delivers a range of benefits such as cost efficiency, environmental friendliness, secure transactions, ease of operation, and data privacy, enabling local F&B and retail businesses to accelerate digital transformation at lower cost while enhancing customer experience. Meanwhile, as more Mainland F&B brands enter Hong Kong, ‘AbbyPay’ offers rapid and secure payment support to facilitate their smooth market integration. We hope this innovative solution will accelerate digital transformation across industries and contribute to sustainable economic and environmental development in Hong Kong.”Exclusive offers to open a new chapter in mobile paymentsIn appreciation of the continued support from Yedpay and BBMSL users, new and existing merchants are invited to call the customer service hotlines (Yedpay: 3905 2568 / BBMSL: 3907 0308) to pre-register for complimentary priority access to “AbbyPay” upon its launch, enjoying POS-free payment acceptance anytime, anywhere. Furthermore, to support Hong Kong’s digital payment development, “AbbyPay” offers all merchants exclusive fee waivers, no annual fees or account setup fees, making it easier for merchants to adopt smart mobile payments.“AbbyPay” offers all merchants exclusive fee waivers, no annual fees or account setup fees, making it easier for merchants to adopt smart mobile paymentsRemark:1.The Digital 2025: Hong Kong report: https://datareportal.com/reports/digital-2025-hong-kongAbout Payment Cards Group (“PCG”)The Payment Cards Group Limited (“PCG”) is an innovative and leading payment technology company with operations in Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Asia-Pacific region.

HONG KONG, Sep 2, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In the first half of 2025, Shoucheng Holdings reported revenue of HK$731 million, up 36% year-on-year, and attributable net profit of HK$339 million, up 30% year-on-year. Revenue from its capital recycling segment surged 69% year-on-year, highlighting the effectiveness of its “Asset Operation + Capital Recycling” dual-engine strategy.The robotics sector has become the company’s strategic core. Shoucheng has invested in leading enterprises such as Unitree Robotics, Galbot, and the Beijing Humanoid Robotics Innovation Center, covering humanoid, industrial, and medical robotics. Through its “Capital + Scenario” approach, the company is driving commercialization in areas such as NEV production line upgrades and smart charging station operations.At the interim results roadshow, Kang Yu, General Manager of the Board Office, stated: “The robotics industry has moved from technological breakthroughs to scenario-based commercialization, but large-scale mass production still requires resolving bottlenecks in upstream materials.” To address this, the company simultaneously announced the establishment of Shoucheng Robotics Advanced Materials Industrial Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary focusing on key materials such as electronic skin, tendon cables, and lightweight PEEK. Kang emphasized that this initiative will complement investments in systems and applications, truly unlocking the “Upstream Materials — Midstream Systems — Downstream Applications” full value chain.On the financial side, Shoucheng maintains cash reserves exceeding HK$8 billion, with an interest-bearing debt ratio of just 7.9%, and has secured an AAA credit rating for three consecutive years, providing a solid financial safety buffer. For FY2025, the company plans total dividends of HK$1.159 billion, with a dividend yield of nearly 8%, alongside over 40 million shares repurchased year-to-date—demonstrating management’s strong confidence in long-term value.Strategically, the company is transitioning from a traditional infrastructure operator to a technology-driven new infrastructure platform. Parking and REITs businesses provide stable cash flow, while robotics has become its key growth engine. Downstream applications are already materializing: collaborating with IAT Automobile Technology on automated production lines; co-developing the Chengdu ICD automatic charging station with Wanxun Technology; deploying the Surgerii surgical robot at Peking University Shougang Hospital; and launching the “Shoucheng Robotics Experience Store” outside the Beijing National Speed Skating Oval (“Ice Ribbon”), which generated over RMB 30,000 in daily revenue. The company also plans to open its first “Robotics 4S Store” during the National Day holiday to bring robotics further into consumer markets.During the roadshow, Kang further highlighted that Shoucheng is the only listed company represented on Unitree Robotics’ board of directors, holding approximately 4% of the company through the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Fund.

香港，2025年9月2日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 2025年中期，首程控股營收7.31億港元，同比增36%；歸母淨利潤3.39億港元，同比增30%；資產融通板塊收入同比飆升69%，"資產運營+資產融通"雙輪驅動成效顯著。機器人賽道是戰略核心，公司已投資宇樹科技、銀河通用、北京人形機器人創新中心等企業，覆蓋人形、工業、醫療機器人領域，通過"資本+場景"賦能技術落地，如新能源汽車產線改造、智慧充電站運營等。在公開的中期業績路演上，董事會辦公室總經理康雨指出："機器人產業已經從技術突破走向場景兌現，但要大規模量產，還必須補齊上游材料短板。"為此，公司同步宣佈通過全資子公司設立"首程機器人先進材料產業有限公司"，聚焦電子皮膚、腱繩材料和輕量化PEEK等關鍵材料。康雨強調，這一佈局將與整機和應用形成呼應，真正打通"上游材料—中游整機—下游應用"的全鏈條。財務方面，公司現金儲備超80億港元，有息負債率僅7.9%，連續三年獲AAA主體評級，財務安全墊突出。今年全年計劃派息11.59億港元，股息率近8%，並已累計回購超4000萬股，彰顯管理層對長期價值的信心。戰略上，公司正從傳統基建運營商向科技新基建平台轉型。停車與REITs業務提供穩定現金流，機器人業務成為增長引擎，下游應用已落地多個場景：如與阿爾特汽車合作推動汽車產線自動化；與萬勳科技共建成都ICD自動充電站；北京大學首鋼醫院已引入術銳手術機器人；在北京"冰絲帶"場館外打造的機器人體驗店，日均流水超3萬元，並將在國慶期間推出首家"機器人4S店"，推動機器人走向消費端。康雨在路演中還特別提到，首程是宇樹科技董事會中唯一的上市公司股東，公司通過北京機器人產業發展基金持有宇樹約4%的股份。隨著宇樹IPO推進，首程的資產將迎來重估，這也將進一步增強資本市場對公司長期成長性的預期。隨著材料公司成立、機器人全鏈條生態逐步完善，以及被投企業的IPO進展，首程控股的生態協同價值正加速釋放，企業估值有望迎來新一輪重估。Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

It features six themed zones, including this year's addition of the Microbrands, which showcases several unique niche brands offering high-value, creatively designed watches.The World Brand Piazza, now in its 15th year of collaboration with Prince Jewellery & Watch, remains a highlight of the fair especially for watch collectors. This year, it presents limited edition and prestige watches from nine major international brands: Baume & Mercier, Corum, Cvstos, DeWitt, Kerbedanz, Montblanc, Peonia Diamond, Sarcar, and Ulysse Nardin. Other zones include Renaissance Moment, Wearable Tech, Craft Treasure, and Chic & Trendy.This year, exhibitors are launching new products based on a close evaluation of current market trends. Some of the highlighted and innovative watches from the two fairs include:Watches with Chinese cultural elementsIn recent years, some watches have incorporated elements of traditional Chinese culture into their designs, earning recognition from international award bodies. This has drawn increased attention to domestic brands and watchmakers from Mainland China.- Ma Xushu, the first member from mainland China of the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI), along with fellow member Tan Zehua and independent watchmakers from mainland China, Qian Guobiao and Gong Xun, will showcase multiple watches that blend exquisite craftsmanship with Chinese cultural designs. (Booth: 3F-D03)- Shanghai Watch presents a timepiece that won the Gold Award at the 2025 MUSE Design Awards in the US, drawing inspiration from Shanghai's city flower, the white magnolia. The watch face features the traditional “Suzhou embroidery” technique, depicting upward-blooming magnolias. (Booth: 3F-D01)Introducing collaborative work to create synergySome watch brands are collaborating with popular film and anime IPs to launch joint series and limited-edition models. These collaborations aim to attract specific consumer groups and enhance brand visibility and influence.- During the fair, Zbioland and Harry Potter are unveiling the “Dynamic Snake” collaborative watch for the first time, a limited edition of 200 pieces. The titanium snake on the watch twists around the bezel when wound, and when fully wound, it can move for up to 45 seconds. (Booth: 3F-D03)- Local brand INFANTRY has collaborated with Super Dimension Fortress Macross to launch a watch series. Each watch comes with two sets of accessories, allowing anime enthusiasts to freely switch styles and showcase the fusion of anime spirit and watchmaking craftsmanship. (Booth: 3G-B16)Personalised and chic luxury designs attract young consumersIn recent years, the growing demand for unique designs and the desire to express personal style have led to the increasing popularity of niche watch brands. Some microbrands have captured the young consumer segment with their distinctive designs and affordable prices, such as eOne, Le Tandy, OVD, Sunrex and No Identity, all participating in this year's exhibition.The Swiss Independent Watchmakers Pavilion (SIWP) and the French pavilion Francéclat are also showcasing 19 uniquely designed, collectible European watch brands this year.

(Booth: 3G-A08)- Point Tec, as one of Germany's largest-selling watch companies, is participating for the first time this year with three brands: Zeppelin, Bauhaus, and Ruhla. (3G-B13A)Recycled or sustainable materials meet environmental protection demandsThe market has increasingly valued environmental, social, and governance (ESG) based products. Some consumers have started to pay attention to the material sources, manufacturing locations, and production processes of watches, prompting some watch brands to switch to recycled or sustainable materials. To make it easier for buyers to purchase products that meet environmental standards, this year's exhibition continues to feature a Green Solutions Suppliers label to identify over 30 selected exhibitors showcasing sustainable watches, including:- German brand Lilienthal Berlin which follows the launch of the world's first watch with a case made from recycled coffee grounds last year, with a watch that features a dial made from recycled tea leaves, giving it a subtle tea fragrance. (Booth: 3F-D07)- Hong Kong brand Memorigin presents the Genesis Series (Ocean Blue) tourbillon watch, featuring a polished metal case paired with an eco-friendly strap jointly created with Austrian strap manufacturer Hirsch. The strap is made from ocean recycled yarn, making it both stylish and environmentally friendly. (Booth: 3F-C03)Smart trends bring new opportunities to the industryThe popularity of wearable smart devices has brought new opportunities to the watch industry. Many brands are actively developing features such as health monitoring, GPS, temperature measurement, and weather forecasting.- German brand Oskron has introduced a smartwatch that offers organ health scoring, health monitoring, personalised wellness guidance, and sub-health warnings. Drawing on data from 300,000 traditional Chinese medicine cases and advanced AI analysis, the watch enables users to gain a comprehensive understanding of their health status.
