Saham AI Terbaik untuk Diperhatikan pada Bulan Mac

Mac 11, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Dorongan global ke arah kecerdasan buatan (AI) terus meningkat, memacu minat yang ketara dalam saham AI. Walaupun terdapat turun naik pasaran baru-baru ini, beberapa syarikat AI berada pada kedudukan untuk pertumbuhan jangka panjang, menawarkan potensi peluang untuk pelabur. Pada bulan Mac, dua saham AI yang terkenal telah mengalami penurunan yang ketara, menyediakan titik permulaan yang menarik bagi mereka yang ingin melabur dalam sektor inovatif ini. Salah satu syarikat AI terkemuka yang telah mengalami penurunan ialah C3.ai (NYSE:AI). Dikenali dengan penyelesaian perisian AI perusahaan, C3.ai telah menjadi penting dalam membantu perniagaan menyepadukan AI untuk meningkatkan operasi dan proses membuat keputusan. Walaupun harga sahamnya jatuh lebih daripada 45%, penawaran produk yang teguh dan perkongsian strategik C3.ai meletakkannya pada kedudukan yang baik untuk pertumbuhan masa depan. Syarikat itu terus mengembangkan pangkalan pelanggannya merentasi pelbagai industri, termasuk tenaga, pembuatan dan penjagaan kesihatan, yang semakin menerima pakai teknologi AI untuk mengoptimumkan operasi mereka. Syarikat lain yang perlu dipertimbangkan ialah Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR). Walaupun sahamnya juga mengalami kemerosotan yang ketara, Palantir kekal sebagai pemain utama dalam ruang analisis data besar dan AI. Platform syarikat digunakan oleh agensi kerajaan dan pelanggan komersial untuk mendapatkan pandangan yang boleh diambil tindakan daripada set data yang kompleks. Komitmen Palantir terhadap inovasi dan portfolio produk serta perkhidmatannya yang semakin berkembang mencadangkan bahawa ia boleh pulih dengan kukuh apabila permintaan untuk membuat keputusan berasaskan data terus berkembang. Melabur dalam saham AI semasa kemerosotan pasaran boleh menjadi langkah strategik untuk pelabur jangka panjang. Ia membolehkan mereka memperoleh saham pada harga yang lebih rendah sambil meletakkan diri mereka untuk mendapat manfaat daripada pertumbuhan masa depan apabila industri AI matang. Walau bagaimanapun, adalah penting untuk menjalankan penyelidikan yang teliti dan mempertimbangkan risiko yang berkaitan dengan pelaburan dalam teknologi baharu. Secara keseluruhan, walaupun terdapat kemunduran baru-baru ini, trend asas yang memacu penggunaan AI kekal utuh. Syarikat seperti C3.ai dan Palantir Technologies berada pada kedudukan yang baik untuk memanfaatkan trend ini, menjadikan mereka pilihan yang menarik untuk pelabur yang percaya pada kuasa transformatif AI. Seperti biasa, bakal pelabur harus menilai peluang ini dalam konteks matlamat kewangan dan toleransi risiko mereka sendiri. Footnotes: Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

JOHNNIE WALKER VAULT MEMBUKA PINTU KE ERA BAHARU WISKI SCOTCH MEWAH kewangan

JOHNNIE WALKER VAULT MEMBUKA PINTU KE ERA BAHARU WISKI SCOTCH MEWAH

Mac 11, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Johnnie Walker secara rasmi melancarkan Johnnie Walker Vault, platform mewah global baharu yang berasaskan seni pengadunan – menyatukan adunan tempahan khas, kolaborasi dengan ikon budaya dan pengalaman mewah, semuanya di bawah satu panji berwawasan EDINBURGH, Scotland, 10 Mac 2025 — Menerajui bab seterusnya dalam minuman beralkohol mewah, Johnnie Walker, Scotch Whisky terkemuka di dunia[1], mengumumkan pelancaran global Johnnie Walker Vault dalam ekspresi seni pengadunan jenama yang paling bercita-cita tinggi setakat ini. Inti kepada platform baharu ini ialah kesenian Johnnie Walker Master Blender, Dr Emma Walker, dan keahliannya dalam menceritakan kisah peribadi daripada pilihan wiski yang sangat jarang ditemui. Penguasaannya dibina berdasarkan keahlian yang diturunkan selama berabad-abad, bekerja dari 'atelier' kreatif tersembunyi jauh di bawah Johnnie Walker Princes Street di Edinburgh. Johnnie Walker Vault memegang, pada bila-bila masa, pilihan 500 wiski daripada tong jarang, matang dan 'ghost' kami, yang dipilih dan dirotasi secara peribadi oleh Dr. Walker untuk mempamerkan yang terbaik daripada 10 juta tong Scotch yang tersedia kepadanya sebagai Master Blender. Johnnie Walker Vault akan menghidupkan kreativiti dan ketukangannya yang tiada tandingan melalui produk, pengalaman dan kerjasama yang jarang ditemui. Pengalaman Adunan Peribadi Tempahan Khas Di bawah pengalaman Private Blend yang baru dilancarkan, Dr Walker secara peribadi akan mencipta adunan 'made-to-measure' yang unik untuk sebilangan kecil yang terpilih, memilih ekspresi bermakna daripada ruang fizikal Johnnie Walker Vault yang hanya melalui jemputan, dan mengolahnya menjadi adunan yang berlapis dalam. Setiap adunan disesuaikan dengan inspirasi dan selera individu tetamunya. Buat pertama kalinya, pengalaman ini akan dilancarkan dan ditawarkan kepada umum dengan pakej bermula dari £50,000, termasuk agenda mewah yang berakar umbi dalam warisan Scotland. Dari hidangan Michelin Star hingga penginapan glamor di Gleneagles Hotel yang mulia di Perthshire, program ini disesuaikan dengan keinginan individu – yang memuncak dalam sesi pengadunan tempahan khas dengan Dr. Walker. Berikutan pengalaman itu, para tetamu akan dipersembahkan dengan Private Blend mereka dalam decanter kristal buatan tangan oleh artisan dari rumah mewah Perancis yang terkenal, Baccarat. Adunan unik mereka juga akan dicatatkan dalam arkib Johnnie Walker Vault, meninggalkan warisan mereka sendiri bersama ciptaan wiski ikonik dan membolehkan komisen masa hadapan. Kolaborasi Mewah Lewat tahun ini, Johnnie Walker Vault juga akan menjemput rakan kongsi kreatif pertamanya – seorang artis berwawasan dalam fesyen couture – untuk mencipta bersama koleksi edisi terhad dengan Dr. Emma Walker, dengan butiran lanjut akan didedahkan pada Musim Bunga 2025. Dr. Emma Walker, Johnnie Walker Master Blender, berkata: “Johnnie Walker Vault ialah khazanah kami. Di sinilah saya boleh memilih dan berkongsi wiski Scotch kami yang paling jarang dan luar biasa, dan dari sini mencipta adunan unik yang sesuai dengan tetamu saya dan mempamerkan seni pengadunan di tengah Johnnie Walker. Ia adalah tempat yang sangat istimewa bagi saya, tetapi ia juga lebih daripada sekadar ruang fizikal – ia adalah platform yang melaluinya saya boleh mengambil kisah peribadi dan menterjemahkannya ke dalam adunan yang cantik dan unik. Ia adalah satu penghormatan yang sebenar untuk menjadi sebahagian daripada menangkap dan membotolkan kisah-kisah indah ini.” Julie Bramham, Pengarah Urusan Diageo Luxury Group, menambah: "Johnnie Walker Vault mencerminkan komitmen kami terhadap keinginan pengguna mewah yang berkembang dan untuk mengubah semangat mewah melalui penyesuaian yang dipertingkatkan, pengalaman unik dan produk yang luar biasa." Beliau menyambung: “Dibina berdasarkan lebih daripada 200 tahun ketukangan perintis, Johnnie Walker telah mentakrifkan semula pengadunan wiski berkualiti untuk penggemar moden. Adunan ikonik seperti Johnnie Walker Blue Label dan Johnnie Walker Black Label secara konsisten mempamerkan komitmen jenama untuk menolak sempadan Scotch whisky, dan Johnnie Walker Vault kini akan meneruskan legasi ini. Ini adalah hari yang mengujakan untuk wiski Scotch mewah apabila kami secara rasmi melancarkan Johnnie Walker Vault kepada khalayak global.” Maklumat lanjut mengenai Johnnie Walker Vault termasuk pendaftaran untuk pengalaman pengadunan peribadi tempahan khas boleh didapati di .

Hon Hai Research Institute Lancarkan LLM Bahasa Cina Tradisional dengan Keupayaan Penaakulan kewangan

Hon Hai Research Institute Lancarkan LLM Bahasa Cina Tradisional dengan Keupayaan Penaakulan

Mac 11, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Versi pertama oleh Pusat Penyelidikan AI menunjukkan prestasi yang baik dalam matematik dan penaakulan TAIPEI, 10 Mac 2025 — Hon Hai Research Institute hari ini mengumumkan pelancaran Model Bahasa Besar (LLM) Cina Tradisional yang pertama, menetapkan satu lagi pencapaian penting dalam pembangunan teknologi AI Taiwan dengan kaedah latihan model yang lebih cekap dan kos rendah yang diselesaikan dalam masa hanya empat minggu. Institut itu, yang disokong oleh Hon Hai Technology Group (“Foxconn”) (TWSE:2317), pengeluar elektronik terbesar di dunia dan penyedia penyelesaian teknologi terkemuka, berkata LLM itu – yang dinamakan FoxBrain – akan menjadi sumber terbuka dan dikongsi secara terbuka pada masa hadapan. Ia pada asalnya direka untuk aplikasi yang digunakan dalam sistem dalaman Kumpulan, meliputi fungsi seperti analisis data, sokongan keputusan, kerjasama dokumen, matematik, penaakulan dan penyelesaian masalah, serta penjanaan kod. FoxBrain bukan sahaja menunjukkan keupayaan pemahaman dan penaakulan yang berkuasa tetapi juga dioptimumkan untuk gaya bahasa pengguna Taiwan, menunjukkan prestasi cemerlang dalam ujian matematik dan penaakulan logik. “Dalam beberapa bulan kebelakangan ini, pendalaman keupayaan penaakulan dan penggunaan GPU yang cekap secara beransur-ansur menjadi pembangunan arus perdana dalam bidang AI. Model FoxBrain kami menggunakan strategi latihan yang sangat cekap, memfokuskan pada pengoptimuman proses latihan dan bukannya mengumpul kuasa pengkomputeran secara membuta tuli,” kata Dr. Yung-Hui Li, Pengarah Pusat Penyelidikan Kecerdasan Buatan di Hon Hai Research Institute. “Melalui kaedah latihan yang direka dengan teliti dan pengoptimuman sumber, kami telah berjaya membina model AI tempatan dengan keupayaan penaakulan yang berkuasa.” Proses latihan FoxBrain dikuasakan oleh 120 , diskalakan dengan rangkaian InfiniBand, dan selesai dalam masa kira-kira empat minggu. Berbanding dengan model inferens yang baru-baru ini dilancarkan di pasaran, kaedah latihan model yang lebih cekap dan kos rendah menetapkan satu kejayaan baharu untuk pembangunan teknologi AI Taiwan. FoxBrain adalah berdasarkan seni bina Meta Llama 3.1 dengan 70B parameter. Dalam kebanyakan kategori di kalangan set data ujian TMMLU+, ia mengatasi Llama-3-Taiwan-70B dengan skala yang sama, terutamanya cemerlang dalam matematik dan penaakulan logik (Untuk penanda aras TMMLU+ FoxBrain, sila rujuk Rajah 1). Berikut ialah spesifikasi teknikal dan strategi latihan untuk FoxBrain: Kaedah tambahan data yang mantap dan penilaian kualiti untuk 24 kategori topik melalui teknologi proprietari, menjana 98B token data pra-latihan berkualiti tinggi untuk Bahasa Cina Tradisional Panjang tetingkap konteks: 128 K token Menggunakan 120 NVIDIA H100 GPU untuk latihan, dengan jumlah kos pengkomputeran 2,688 hari GPU Menggunakan seni bina latihan selari berbilang nod untuk memastikan prestasi dan kestabilan yang tinggi Menggunakan teknik Adaptive Reasoning Reflection yang unik untuk melatih model dalam penaakulan autonomi Dalam keputusan ujian, FoxBrain menunjukkan peningkatan komprehensif dalam matematik berbanding model asas Meta Llama 3.1. Ia mencapai kemajuan yang ketara dalam ujian matematik berbanding Taiwan Llama, yang kini merupakan model besar Cina Tradisional yang terbaik, dan mengatasi model Meta semasa dalam kelas yang sama dalam keupayaan penaakulan matematik. Walaupun masih terdapat sedikit jurang dengan model penyulingan DeepSeek, prestasinya sudah sangat hampir dengan piawaian terkemuka dunia. Pembangunan FoxBrain – daripada pengumpulan data, pembersihan dan tambahan, kepada Continual Pre-Training, Supervised Finetuning, RLAIF, dan Adaptive Reasoning Reflection – dicapai langkah demi langkah melalui penyelidikan bebas, yang akhirnya mencapai manfaat yang menghampiri model AI bertaraf dunia walaupun dengan sumber pengkomputeran yang terhad. Penyelidikan model bahasa besar ini menunjukkan bahawa bakat teknologi Taiwan boleh bersaing dengan rakan antarabangsa dalam bidang model AI. Walaupun FoxBrain pada asalnya direka untuk aplikasi kumpulan dalaman, pada masa hadapan, Kumpulan akan terus bekerjasama dengan rakan teknologi untuk mengembangkan aplikasi FoxBrain, berkongsi maklumat sumber terbukanya, dan mempromosikan AI dalam pembuatan, pengurusan rantaian bekalan dan membuat keputusan pintar. Semasa latihan model, NVIDIA menyediakan sokongan melalui Superkomputer Taipei-1 dan perundingan teknikal, membolehkan Hon Hai Research Institute berjaya menyelesaikan pra-latihan model dengan NVIDIA NeMo. FoxBrain juga akan menjadi enjin penting untuk memacu peningkatan tiga platform utama Foxconn: Pembuatan Pintar. EV Pintar. Bandar Pintar. Keputusan FoxBrain dijadualkan untuk dikongsi buat kali pertama di persidangan utama semasa NVIDIA GTC 2025 Sesi Talk "" pada 20 Mac. Mengenai Hon Hai Research Institute Institut ini mempunyai lima pusat penyelidikan. Setiap pusat mempunyai purata 40 profesional R&D teknologi tinggi, yang kesemuanya memberi tumpuan kepada penyelidikan dan pembangunan teknologi baharu, pengukuhan teknologi dan saluran inovasi produk Foxconn, usaha untuk menyokong transformasi Kumpulan daripada “otot” kepada “otak”, dan peningkatan daya saing strategi “3+3” Foxconn.

Salary Reality Gap: 52% of Malaysian Employees See Scope for Salary Growth, foundit Survey Reveals ACN Newswire

Salary Reality Gap: 52% of Malaysian Employees See Scope for Salary Growth, foundit Survey Reveals

Mac 11, 2025
Key findings from the survey: A majority of professionals (45%) expect a 0-10% growth in their next appraisal 52% of respondents believe their salary is below average compared to industry peers Only 32% of respondents are satisfied with their salary growth opportunities 36% of employees reported no major change in their salary over the past three years Skills in demand (31%) and economic trends (30%) are the primary drivers of current salary trends KUALA LUMPUR, Mar 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Malaysian employees and employers appear to be on different pages when it comes to compensation, according to new research. A comprehensive salary survey by foundit, a leading jobs platform, reveals that while many professionals see room for salary growth, organisations are focusing on strategic compensation planning to retain talent in a competitive job market. The research highlights evolving compensation trends in Malaysia, with a growing awareness among professionals about market benchmarks. More than half of the surveyed employees recognise the need for salary adjustments to align with industry standards, while nearly half anticipate modest single-digit salary growth in their upcoming reviews. These insights present valuable opportunities for organisations to enhance their talent strategies, ensuring competitive compensation structures that attract and retain top talent. With compensation playing a central role in both recruitment success and employee loyalty, these insights into workforce sentiment provide valuable intelligence for business planning. V Suresh, CEO of foundit, commented on the findings: "This research offers fascinating insights into Malaysia's compensation landscape, revealing both challenges and opportunities. The perception gap we've identified – where many employees believe their pay falls below industry standards – represents a critical area for employers to address. Malaysian businesses have a compelling opportunity to strengthen their position in the talent market through enhanced salary transparency and more effective communication about compensation. By helping professionals understand how their pay compares to true market rates and developing transparent frameworks for advancement, organisations can better align expectations with reality. This strategic approach benefits not just individual employees but strengthens organisational resilience and competitiveness. For Malaysia to continue its trajectory as a business hub in Southeast Asia, addressing these compensation perception gaps will be instrumental in attracting and retaining the best talent." Key findings from the survey include: Salary Perception Across Experience Levels More than half (52%) of employees believe they are underpaid compared to industry peers. 38% feel their salary is above average, while 10% are unsure how their pay compares to market rates. Executive-level professionals (15+ years of experience) have the highest salary awareness, with only 4.48% unaware of market benchmarks, compared to mid-career professionals who display greater uncertainty. Satisfaction with Salary Growth 30% of respondents are dissatisfied with their salary growth opportunities with majority in Engineering and Logistics sector. 38% remain neutral, indicating mixed perceptions about compensation structures. 32% express satisfaction, but satisfaction levels decline as professionals advance in their careers. IT (35.38%) leads in salary growth satisfaction. Expected Salary Growth from Appraisal 45% of professionals expect only a 0-10% salary hike in their next review. 28.7% anticipate a 6-10% increment, while 16.7% foresee just 0-5% growth. 19.5% of professionals aim for substantial increases exceeding 30%. Professionals with 4-6 years of experience are the most optimistic, with nearly 39% expecting 6-10% raises, while senior executives anticipate more conservative increases (0-5%). Salary Changes Over the Past Three Years 36% of professionals saw no salary growth, indicating wage stagnation. 30% experienced salary reductions (19% minor, 11% significant). 34% received salary hikes (18% modest, 16% substantial), highlighting industry-specific trends. Future Salary Expectations: Industry Outlook Employees in the Engineering & Construction sector expect predictable salary growth (36.36% anticipate 6-10% raises). BFSI professionals have the highest expectations, with more than 50% anticipating 30% above increments. Entry-level professionals remain the most optimistic, with 79% expecting salary growth, while expectations decline at senior levels (67% among executives). Key Drivers of Salary Trends Skills in Demand: 31.2% of professionals believe in-demand skills significantly impact salaries. Economic Trends: 30.5% see macroeconomic factors shaping pay scales. Sector-Specific Challenges: 18% cite industry constraints as key influencers. Technological Advancements: 12% recognise tech-driven disruptions affecting wages. For organisations navigating the complexities of talent acquisition and retention in today's competitive landscape, this research provides a valuable measuring stick for assessing current approaches and identifying areas for strategic improvement. By leveraging these insights to enhance both compensation structures and communication around pay, companies can create more appealing work environments that attract and retain top talent.

Hong Kong products highly rated by ASEAN e-shoppers ACN Newswire

Hong Kong products highly rated by ASEAN e-shoppers

Mac 11, 2025
HONG KONG, Mar 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong businesses are well placed to make good on the government’s budget commitment to step up e-commerce trade with the ASEAN bloc, according to new research from the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC). In particular, the findings show that the extension of the E-Commerce Easy initiative may be of huge benefit to Hong Kong’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).Titled ASEAN eCommerce opportunities: Insights on Consumer Behaviours and Positioning of Hong Kong Products, the research shows that Hong Kong brands and products are already particularly valued in six key ASEAN markets – Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam – with every indication that this positive perception will lead to significant growth in future trade.Previewed today, the full report will be released on 19 March during a dedicated session at this year’s HKTDC MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse events at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.HK electronic, fashion, cosmetic products popular in ASEANAmong the key findings of the research is the high level of popularity Hong Kong brands and products enjoy among ASEAN-6 e-consumers. In fact, some 70% of online shoppers within the six-nation grouping indicated they had bought at least one Hong Kong-sourced product within the past 12 months.This preference was particularly pronounced among younger consumers, with the 18-29-year-old demographic indicating the highest regard for goods of Hong Kong origin.In terms of the factors behind the appeal of Hong Kong brands and products for ASEAN consumers, the research identified three primary reasons. Firstly – and most compellingly – some 35% of respondents perceived Hong Kong-sourced goods as less costly and better value for money than those from other sources.Secondly, a significant proportion of respondents (33%) stated that they particularly valued Hong Kong-sourced items for the way they seamlessly and successfully blended Asian and Western elements. A further 32% indicated that the stylish nature of the online inventory of Hong Kong-sourced items was the attribute they valued most highly.In terms of Hong Kong e-commerce categories with the highest level of appeal for ASEAN-6 purchasers, consumer electronic items topped the list, winning favour with 70% of respondents. Taking the number-two spot was Hong Kong-sourced fashion items (38%), while coming a close third was the city’s online range of cosmetic/personal care products (34%).Singaporean, Thai and Malaysian e-shoppers spend the mostThe survey also found e-shoppers from Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia spent the most per purchase on Hong Kong goods. Take Hong Kong-sourced consumer electronics as an example, Singapore e-shoppers on average spent US$371 per purchase, followed by those in Thailand (US$276).In terms of individual ASEAN markets, it was Thailand that showed the greatest partiality to Hong Kong e-commerce items, with 81% of the relevant survey respondents having purchased such an item within the past 12 months.In second place was Indonesia, with 73% of respondents having ordered a Hong Kong item online within the last year. Slightly below this, in third place, was the Philippines, with 69% of the country’s respondents having made a related purchase over the past 12 months.In terms of age demographics, respondents aged 30-49 had the highest average spending per purchase.Separately, an average of 76% of those 18-29 year-olds across all ASEAN-6 markets had purchased a Hong Kong-sourced item online within the past 12 months. Among the 30-49 segment, the corresponding figure fell marginally to 72%, before falling further – to 52% – for online shoppers aged 50 or above. Reassuringly, even in this older category, a slender majority still manifested a preference for buying from the city via an online channel.Commenting on the significance of the survey, Irina Fan, Director of HKTDC Research, said: “It’s encouraging that the first study of its kind should show just how willing ASEAN consumers are to purchase Hong Kong brands and products via a variety of online channels. In line with our findings, Hong Kong SMEs should particularly bear in mind the high regard consumers in Thailand and Indonesia have for Hong Kong-sourced products.”Ms Fan added: “In terms of product categories, it’s clearly particularly good news for Hong Kong companies in the consumer electronics sector, an area that has long been one of the city’s key strengths.”Full report revealed at eTailingPulseThe HKTDC is organising the MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse conferences at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre next Wednesday, 19 March. The full ASEAN e-Commerce opportunities: Insights on Consumer Behaviours and Positioning of Hong Kong Products report will be unveiled at an eTailingPulse panel discussion, where business leaders will share insights from their successful experiences in the ASEAN e-commerce market.The panel is among nearly 30 sessions at the two Pulse events, which bring together more than 65 global elites from diverse industry sectors, including influential marketing experts, economists, retail giants, brand strategists, advertising and PR professionals and e-commerce leaders.Themed Inspiring Possibilities, the events aim to turn visionary ideas into actionable strategies and spark cross-disciplinary collaboration. This year’s event will spotlight six key marketing topics: leveraging data and artificial intelligence (AI) to drive innovative marketing strategies; integrating art, music and culture into brand marketing to explore new frontiers; embracing neurodiversity to foster more inclusive marketing perspectives; opportunities in the ASEAN and halal markets; addressing the challenges and possibilities of global industry transformation in light of the rising trend of single-person households; and empowering the “she economy” through innovative AI solutions to enhance the market competitiveness of e-commerce platforms.Attendees will have the opportunity to explore forward-thinking market dynamics, emerging trends, innovative marketing strategies and compelling success stories.HKTDC support SMEs tapping into e-commerceThe HKTDC has been supporting SMEs to tap into the tremendous business opportunities brought by the rapidly developing e-commerce market. The HKTDC Design Gallery online store will extend to Singapore and Malaysia in 2025/26, followed by Thailand in a subsequent phase. Hong Kong suppliers will be able to sell their products to the ASEAN region through this online channel in the form of cross-border e-commerce. The range of products to be offered in the initial stage includes gifts, housewares, bags, baby/kids’ products and eco-friendly products.This year, the HKTDC is also launching a year-long programme called E-Commerce Express to address the pain points faced by local SMEs when developing cross-border e-commerce businesses in the mainland. The programme will involve the HKTDC, together with major e-commerce or social media platforms, arranging a series of thematic training seminars and research sharing sessions.Appendix- E-commerce Easy: The E-commerce Easy initiative was set up by the Hong Kong SAR Government in July 2024 to help fund local businesses as they seek to serve potential mainland clients via a range of e-commerce channels.

CEPI funds Nagasaki University to develop innovative vaccines using Nanoball platform and NEC’s AI JCN Newswire

CEPI funds Nagasaki University to develop innovative vaccines using Nanoball platform and NEC’s AI

Mac 11, 2025
TOKYO, Mar 10, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) has announced that it will partner with the Nagasaki University DEJIMA Infectious Disease Research Alliance (Director: Prof. Kouichi Morita) for a research and development (R&D) project with support from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI).The CEPI funding, of up to 750 million JPY, will facilitate the composition optimization of "Nanoball," a proprietary vaccine particle covered under Nagasaki University’s intellectual property, and the application of NEC OncoImmunity (NOI)’s artificial intelligence (AI) for the analysis of candidate proteins for a Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS) vaccine.The emerging tick-borne virus, a member of the new windowPhenuivirus family, poses a serious public health threat in Japan and wider East Asia.If the project is successful, the platform has the potential to be rapidly adapted to develop vaccine candidates against other disease pathogens, including a novel or as-yet-identified "Disease X" that could cause a serious epidemic or pandemic.Nagasaki University’s innovative technology works by encasing mRNA into Nanoball particles. While mRNA vaccines have been identified as a fast and flexible platform to use in response to infectious disease outbreaks, the next-generation Nanoball technology could help overcome current challenges with the vaccine design to improve its stability and help with the delivery of mRNA to cells to elicit a stronger immune response.The Nanoball design could also enable the vaccine to not require ultra-low temperatures, expanding its access in low-resource areas and hard-to-reach settings, including in low- and middle-income countries who may otherwise lack the infrastructure needed to store and distribute mRNA vaccines in specific conditions.Findings could therefore support the 100 Days Mission, an ambitious goal spearheaded by CEPI and embraced by Japan and other G7 and G20 nations to develop a vaccine against a new virus with outbreak potential in as little as three months."We don’t know where or when the next Disease X will strike – but we know that it is coming," says Dr Richard Hatchett, CEO of CEPI, "As the COVID-19 pandemic shows, we need to be more prepared and act more quickly when responding to an emerging threat. We are delighted to be working with our partners in Japan to carry out this new research looking at whether Nagasaki University’s ‘Nanoball’ technology could provide an improved way of mRNA delivery vehicle, thereby offering faster and more effective vaccine protection in an outbreak."Prof. Takeshi Nagayasu, President of Nagasaki University says, "We are delighted that our SFTSV vaccine, developed using Nagasaki University’s proprietary Nanoball technology, can contribute to CEPI’s efforts and the global 100-Day Mission pursued by leading nations. Rapid vaccine development is crucial in preparing for future pandemics, and we are proud that our research can play a role in this initiative. We look forward to further collaboration in advancing innovative technologies to strengthen global health security and pandemic preparedness."Dr. Saverio Niccolini, Chief Executive Officer, NEC OncoImmunity commented, "NOI is honored to collaborate with CEPI and Nagasaki University in the fight against emerging infectious diseases. We are confident that our advanced AI technology will play a pivotal role in designing a vaccine for the severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), a deadly tick-borne pathogen with high mortality rates. This partnership underscores our commitment to harnessing our cutting-edge AI for innovative vaccine development."Key Points1. About SFTSSFTS is a viral infectious disease primarily transmitted to humans through tick bites, which is prevalent in East Asia, including Western Japan. It causes fever, thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), leukopenia (low white blood cell count), and multi-organ failure. Severe cases can result in fatalities.2. Scope of Research & DevelopmentThis project will focus on preclinical research, prior to human clinical trials, to develop a vaccine that can prevent SFTS onset and severe cases.3. Potential ImpactIf successful, this R&D could pave the way for clinical trials and regulatory approval, ultimately leading to widespread vaccination of an SFTS. The project aims to contribute to SFTS countermeasures not only in Japan but across East Asia, helping to save lives that would otherwise be lost to SFTS.The research could also highlight the AI and Nanoball technology as a promising new tool which, with further research, could also help fight other infectious disease threats with epidemic or even pandemic potential. This includes a novel or as-yet-identified Disease X – an emerging threat which could strike in the future and cause a serious humanitarian crisis. COVID-19 was one of the most recent Disease X threats.Overview of the Research and Development InitiativeAbout CEPICEPI is an innovative partnership between public, private, philanthropic, and civil organizations. Its mission is to accelerate the development of vaccines and other biologic countermeasures against epidemic and pandemic threats so they can be accessible to all people in need. The Government of Japan has been a key supporter of CEPI since its inception and is one of CEPI’s largest government supporters in the world.Funding & AgreementNagasaki University has signed an agreement with CEPI for a three-year, $5 million (approximately 750 million JPY) research and development project. This marks the third CEPI-supported initiative in Japan.Project DetailsThe project aims to develop a vaccine to prevent SFTS onset and severe cases.Nagasaki University Professor Hitoshi Sasaki and team will optimize its current Nanoball composition using Japanese encephalitis virus, an area in which the university has extensive expertise, to develop the new vaccine.NEC OncoImmunity will apply AI-driven genetic sequence analysis to identify potential mRNA vaccine candidates for SFTS.Professor Jiro Yasuda and team will conduct preclinical studies to evaluate the efficacy of the developed SFTS vaccine.Expected OutcomesThis project is expected to lay the groundwork for clinical trials and potential commercialization, providing a lifesaving vaccine to populations at risk of SFTS.The research could also highlight the potential of the AI and Nanoball technology to improve the delivery of mRNA vaccines against other diseases with epidemic and pandemic potential, including known viruses and the hypothetical Disease X.About NEC CorporationNEC Corporation has established itself as a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies while promoting the brand statement of “Orchestrating a brighter world.” NEC enables businesses and communities to adapt to rapid changes taking place in both society and the market as it provides for the social values of safety, security, fairness and efficiency to promote a more sustainable world where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential.

Selepas 50 tahun pendudukan Soviet semasa Perang Dingin, ramai warga Lithuania hari ini berwaspada terhadap sebarang rundingan dengan Rusia dan memerhatikan langkah Kremlin seterusnya dengan teliti."Pada pendapat saya, satu-satunya diplomasi yang berkesan dengan Rusia adalah apa yang Al Capone katakan, satu-satunya rundingan yang baik adalah apabila anda mempunyai pistol di atas meja. Jadi itu mungkin jenis diplomasi yang akan berkesan dengan Rusia," Šakalienė memberi amaran semasa temu bual di Kedutaan Lithuania di Washington Jumaat lalu.Apabila ditanya sama ada Putin boleh dipercayai, menteri pertahanan berusia 46 tahun itu, yang pernah tinggal di Albuquerque, New Mexico, sebagai pelajar pertukaran, menjawab, "Adakah anda bergurau? Selepas apa yang telah dilakukan kepada keluarga saya dan oleh Rusia selama beberapa generasi, saya tidak fikir anda akan menemui mana-mana warga Lithuania yang boleh mempercayai Vladimir Putin."Pencerobohan berskala penuh Rusia ke atas Ukraine kini berusia lebih tiga tahun. Sejak kembali memegang jawatan, Rusia telah terlibat dalam rundingan langsung dengan Rusia untuk menamatkan perang."Dari segi sejarah, Rusia tidak pernah menepati perjanjian," kata Šakalienė. "Satu-satunya harapan kami adalah pendekatan yang tegas dan keras oleh Presiden Donald Trump mungkin satu-satunya perlindungan yang mengekang Putin. Jadi mari kita berharap itu berlaku."Terletak di Eropah dengan populasi 2.8 juta di kawasan yang lebih kurang sama saiz dengan West Virginia, Lithuania tidak boleh mengabaikan Rusia. Ia berkongsi sempadan 184 batu dengan Rusia (Kaliningrad) serta sempadan 420 batu dengan Belarus, yang menurutnya "kini hanyalah platform untuk tentera Rusia."Dia berkata, "Mereka cuba menakutkan kami. Mereka cuba membuatkan kami berasa tidak selamat," mengenai tentera Rusia di sebelah.Lithuania meningkatkan perbelanjaan pertahanan akibat Rusia melancarkan pencerobohan berskala penuh ke atas Ukraine dan merancang untuk melebihi permintaan Trump bahawa sekutu NATO membelanjakan 5% daripada KDNK untuk pertahanan. Šakalienė berkata negaranya berharap untuk mencapai 6% menjelang tahun depan. A.S. kini membelanjakan 3.4%.Bulan lepas, Setiausaha Pertahanan A.S. Pete Hegseth juga menggesa Eropah untuk meningkatkan perbelanjaan pertahanan. "Amerika Syarikat tidak lagi akan bertolak ansur dengan hubungan yang tidak seimbang yang menggalakkan pergantungan," dia memberi amaran di ibu pejabat NATO di Brussels dalam lawatan pertamanya ke luar negara.Sebagai seorang menteri pertahanan NATO, Šakalienė berada di sana di Brussels. Dia memuji ucapan Hegseth, menyifatkannya sebagai "sebaldi air sejuk.""Saya melihat wajah rakan-rakan saya. Banyak kejutan, banyak tekanan," katanya. "Tiada siapa di dalam bilik itu menyebut 2% [daripada KDNK] yang begitu berlebihan, tidak relevan, tidak mencukupi. Ia sudah tiada. Ia berita lama."Apabila ditanya mengapa Eropah Barat ketinggalan dalam perbelanjaan pertahanan bertahun-tahun selepas Rusia merampas 20% daripada Ukraine, Šakalienė menjawab, "Saya fikir sebahagian besar dunia demokrasi terperangkap dalam ilusi dunia idealistik ini, yang tidak pernah wujud."Dia berkata sebahagian daripada ilusi itu ialah mempercayai perang sudah berakhir. Rusia tidak pernah berfikir begini, jelasnya."Bahagian dunia bukan demokratik tidak berubah. Mereka sebenarnya bermain mengikut peraturan mereka. Jadi jika mereka tidak bermain mengikut peraturan kita, kebutaan kita adalah apa yang meletakkan kita dalam kedudukan yang berbahaya ini."Šakalienė adalah satu-satunya menteri pertahanan NATO yang dikenakan sekatan oleh China. Apabila ditanya tentang motif Beijing dalam menyokong Rusia, jawapannya mungkin mengejutkan sesetengah orang."Rusia dapat meningkatkan pengeluaran tenteranya dengan begitu cekap kerana China membekalkannya," katanya. "Adalah berguna bagi Rusia untuk mengadakan perang kehabisan ini, dan juga berguna untuk China, walaupun ia membekalkan Rusia, untuk melihat Rusia juga kehilangan ramai askarnya – banyak senjata dan peralatannya – kerana Rusia yang lebih lemah lebih sesuai untuk China."Walaupun mengalami kerugian besar di medan perang di Ukraine sejak tiga tahun lalu, Rusia mempunyai tentera seramai 1.5 juta, menurut Šakalienė, yang memberi amaran Putin mempunyai "lebih banyak rancangan pengembangan empayar di tangannya."Ketika Trump duduk di Kedutaan Lithuania pada hari Jumaat, Trump sedang berusaha untuk mendapatkan perjanjian hak mineral dengan Ukraine dan akhirnya berharap untuk mendapatkan perjanjian gencatan senjata dengan Rusia."Jika Rusia melanggar gencatan senjata, tindak balas mesti serta-merta dan ganas," gesa Šakalienė.Apabila ditanya tentang reaksinya terhadap laporan bahawa Trump sedang mempertimbangkan untuk tidak mempertahankan sekutu NATO yang tidak membelanjakan cukup untuk pertahanan, Šakalienė memuji retorik keras daripada Trump, menyifatkannya sebagai "menyakitkan" tetapi wajar. "Semua orang perlu menyumbang, perkongsian beban adalah peraturan utama jika anda benar-benar mahu mempunyai perikatan yang kuat."Dia menunjukkan Negara Baltik dan Poland sebagai ahli NATO terkemuka dalam perbelanjaan pertahanan sebagai peratusan KDNK.Tahun lepas, Eropah, yang Lithuania merupakan ahlinya, membelanjakan lebih banyak untuk minyak dan gas Rusia daripada bantuan kepada Ukraine. Šakalienė berkata negaranya adalah "yang pertama memutuskan" minyak dan gas Rusia. "Kami malah menyokong jiran kami, Latvia dan Poland dengan bekalan tenaga. Jadi bagi kami, bebas daripada tenaga Rusia adalah soal hidup dan mati."Terminal LNG pertama Lithuania dinamakan "Independence," menurut Frank Fannon, yang berkhidmat dalam penggal pertama Trump sebagai penolong setiausaha negara untuk sumber tenaga.Ketika Trump duduk di kedutaan, Lithuania baru sahaja mengumumkan bahawa ia akan menarik diri daripada konvensyen mengenai bom kluster, perjanjian antarabangsa oleh lebih daripada 100 negara yang melarang bom kluster. Šakalienė menjelaskan mengapa Lithuania menarik diri."Kami mahu bersedia untuk menggunakan apa sahaja dan segala-galanya yang diperlukan untuk melindungi sempadan kami. Kami tidak mahu Rusia datang ke rumah kami lagi. Kami mahu menghantar mesej strategik, mesej yang sangat jelas, bahawa kami akan melakukan apa sahaja untuk melindungi diri kami."Lithuania, bersama-sama dengan negara-negara Eropah yang lain, juga mahu menarik diri daripada perjanjian lain tidak lama lagi yang dikenali sebagai Ottawa Convention, yang mengharamkan periuk api anti-personel."Ini adalah senjata yang mengerikan, sama seperti bom kluster, tetapi Rusia menggunakan senjata itu, termasuk senjata yang dilarang. Jadi kami mahu menghantar mesej kembali," katanya.Selain Rusia, China dan Amerika Syarikat juga bukan pihak kepada perjanjian itu. Pada tahun 2014, Amerika Syarikat mengumumkan bahawa ia akan mematuhi Ottawa Convention, kecuali periuk api yang telah digunakan di Semenanjung Korea.Šakalienė, seorang Kristian yang sangat taat, berkata Rusia bukan sahaja menyerang Ukraine, tetapi juga kepercayaan Kristian."Rusia Soviet yang cuba menghapuskan gereja di Ukraine, di Lithuania, di Poland. Mereka kini seolah-olah menghidupkan semula agama Kristian mereka dan menggunakannya untuk penyusupan KGB, untuk penyusupan FSB, katanya. "Ini adalah pengkhianatan."Dia menyambung, "Apabila kita melihat bagaimana gereja-gereja di Ukraine dibom, dirompak...para paderi di Ukraine sedang dibunuh dan warisan indah mereka sedang dimusnahkan."Menteri pertahanan Lithuania menamatkan temu bual dengan amaran terakhir."Kita cenderung untuk cuba mengecilkan musuh kita. Ini adalah satu kesilapan. Anda perlu melihat mereka sebagaimana adanya."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
