Participating with pavilions for the first time are Israel, Thailand, and the UK, along with debut exhibitors from Singapore, Germany, Italy and Luxembourg.HONG KONG, May 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – International Healthcare Week (IHW), organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), officially opened today. One of its flagship events, the fifth Asia Summit on Global Health (ASGH), takes place today and tomorrow (26 and 27 May) at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). Under the theme Fostering Global Collaboration for a Shared Future, the summit brings together more than 80 healthcare leaders and experts from around the world to explore the future direction of the industry and collaboration opportunities. Another flagship event, the 16th Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair (Medical Fair), also kicks off today (26 to 28 May), and features some 300 exhibitors from 13 countries and regions, showcasing cutting-edge MedTech, GeronTech, and green solutions, including many AI-powered innovations, to foster global industry collaboration.The ASGH opened with welcome remarks delivered by HKTDC Chairman Dr Peter K N Lam.  “The global health sector is currently facing challenges, including a resurgence in infectious diseases, coupled with the growing needs of an ageing population and ongoing health equity concerns. These issues demand urgent attention and collective action to protect communities worldwide. Now in its fifth edition, ASGH is a key event for the global healthcare industry, and we are proud that connections made through ASGH have enabled many new investments and collaborations in healthcare innovation. Alongside ASGH, the Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair is taking place. There, you will find the latest HealthTech solutions from around the globe, with a particular focus on hospital equipment, rehabilitation, elderly care and biotech. As anchor events of the International Healthcare Week, ASGH and Medical Fair highlights Hong Kong’s commitment to working with partners to nurture an innovative health and medical sector,” Dr Lam said.In his opening speech, Hong Kong SAR Chief Executive John Lee said: "Under the theme of "Fostering Global Collaboration for a Shared Future", this summit reaffirms Hong Kong's pivotal role as a leading health innovation hub in the region. Under the "one country, two systems" principle, Hong Kong enjoys unique connectivity with both Mainland China and the world. As the world's freest economy and one of the top three international financial centres, we offer an efficient, open and fair business environment with robust intellectual property protection. We maintain free flows of information, capital, goods and talent. We are also emerging as a leading hub for scientific innovation, technological advancement and world-class education.”Prof Cao Xuetao, Vice-Minister of the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China, gave special remarks, noting: "China continues to open up and welcomes leading foreign-owned hospitals into the market through investment or joint ventures. We hope that our global partners can further localise and upgrade their mid-to-high-end products, resulting in win-win outcomes for all.”Additionally, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), delivered remarks at the opening session via video link and stated, “The theme of ASGH could not be more appropriate given the challenges facing global health at the moment. The WHO Pandemic Agreement has been adopted recently. It was negotiated over the past three and a half years and shows a true spirit of international collaboration for global health. By working together, we can build a healthier, safer, and fairer world for all.”Global industry leaders gather to explore opportunities for international collaborationToday's Plenary Session I: Shaping a More Equitable and Sustainable Health System, featured keynote remarks by Prof Lo Chung-mau, Secretary for Health of the HKSAR Government, and Feng Haicang, Level I Bureau Rank Official of Department of Consumer Goods Industry, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China.  Prof Lo Chung-mau, stated: “A sustainable health system requires talents and enough healthcare manpower. While the Government has been addressing the issue of manpower shortage through a multipronged strategy, by increasing the number of intakes for local universities and admitting qualified non-locally trained healthcare workers, the 2024 Policy Address announced that the Government supports the plan to establish a third medical school. Indeed, Hong Kong has already hosted two top 30 world class medical schools but we have the ability and the need to develop the third one which shall adopt an innovative strategic positioning in pursuit of complementary development with the two existing ones.” The session was moderated by Prof Tsui Lap-chee, Chairman of the University of Hong Kong Foundation for Educational Development and Research, focused on key issues faced by healthcare systems in addressing global challenges. Distinguished speakers included Martin Taylor, Representative to China of the WHO; and Prof Nancy Ip, President of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. They shared valuable experiences and forward-looking insights to inspire the global healthcare field.Prof Nancy Ip noted: “Universities are more than academic institutions. They are global connectors, neutral platforms, and also engines of innovation, uniquely positioned to bridge divides between disciplines, industries, and also nations.”Distinguished international speakers of Plenary Session II: Fostering Global Collaboration for a Shared Future included Ambassador George Hara, Group Chairman and CEO of DEFTA Partners and former Special Advisor to the Cabinet Office of the Prime Minister of Japan. They jointly explored trends in global healthcare collaboration, injecting new ideas into constructing a more synergistic global healthcare landscape.The summit invited Prof John Hardy, known as the “father of Alzheimer’s disease genetic studies”, Chair of Molecular Biology of Neurological Disease of UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, to share his outlook on future research and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's in the Dialogue with Global Pioneer in Health session.Prof John Hardy remarked: “For Alzheimer's treatment, I think that two changes can happen quite quickly: improvements in earlier diagnosis, and development of drugs that bypass the blood vessel-based amyloid. What we want to do with drugs is slow decline. If we understand what underpins that decline, it gives us targets, and we’re very excited by some of the findings in that area now.”“Healthy China 2030” serves as the national blueprint for healthcare policy development in Mainland China. In the session Beyond “Healthy China 2030”: Driving Health Innovation, Dr Zhang Lianshan, Executive Vice President, Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.; and Marc Horn, Executive Vice President of Merck and President of Merck China, explored opportunities in the mainland healthcare market, analysing emerging trends in China's healthcare innovation ecosystem to open new pathways for international collaboration with other speakers.Diverse topics converge with forward-looking insights and the Silver Health Chapter explores new business opportunitiesFor the first time, the summit co-organised two thematic sessions with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology under the overarching theme Shaping the Future of Healthcare. Speakers included Prof Graham Cooke, Vice-Dean (Research) of Faculty of Medicine at Imperial College London.

Kuala Lumpur, May 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – CBL International Limited (NASDAQ: BANL) (“CBL” or the “Company”), the listing vehicle of Banle Group (“Banle” or the “Group”), a leading marine fuel logistics company in the Asia-Pacific region, today announced the official renaming of its Singapore-based wholly owned subsidiary, Majestic Energy (Singapore) Pte Ltd, to support its regional growth strategy.Effective immediately, Majestic Energy (Singapore) Pte Ltd has been officially renamed to Banle International (Singapore) Pte Ltd, reflecting the Group’s deepening commitment to the Singapore market and its strategic expansion into sustainable fuels.Singapore remains the world's largest bunkering hub, with annual sales close to 55 million metric tons in 2024, increased by 6% year-over-year as compared to 2023, according to Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore (“MPA”) statistics. While conventional fuels still dominate the market, demand for sustainable fuels such as biofuels, LNG, and methanol continues to rise steadily. Notably, biofuel sales in the first four months of 2025 in Singapore have already surpassed 50% of the total volume recorded in 2024, according to  MPA statistics.As the primary fuel bunkering hub in the Asia-Pacific region, Singapore serves as a strategic base for CBL’s regional expansion. CBL’s revenue in Singapore increased by 102% year-over-year in 2024 as compared to 2023. In March 2025, the Company launched its first biofuel supply services in Singapore — a key regional port — as part of its broader initiative to offer sustainable fuel alternatives across the region, followed by biofuel supply in Malaysia, Hong Kong and various ports in China. CBL’s biofuel sales volumes and sales surged over 600% year-over-year in 2024, supported by strengthened supplier relationships and reliable supply chains. These efforts help customers meet IMO GHG targets while offering sustainable, cost-effective alternatives.“Singapore plays a pivotal role in our long-term growth strategy,” said Dr. Teck Lim Chia, Chairman and CEO of CBL. “The renaming of our subsidiary underscores our strengthened presence in this critical market and reinforces our commitment to supporting the global maritime industry’s transition toward greener energy solutions.”Despite the increasing competition in Singapore’s bunkering sector, CBL continues to differentiate itself through its agile operations and customer-centric approach. The Company prides itself on its ability to adapt and tailor solutions to meet the specific needs of clients and suppliers, enabling it to capture new opportunities in both traditional and emerging fuel segments.Christofel Tian, our Head of Singapore, added "With our rebranding to Banle International (Singapore) Pte Ltd, we are not only aligning ourselves more closely with the Group’s identity but also signaling our long-term commitment to the Singapore market. As the global bunkering landscape evolves, especially with the rapid adoption of sustainable fuels, we are well-positioned to grow alongside Singapore’s vision of becoming a leader in sustainable maritime solutions."With its robust regulatory environment, mature infrastructure, and strong government support, Singapore is well-positioned to maintain its leadership in the global bunkering market — and CBL is committed to growing alongside it.About the Banle GroupCBL International Limited (Nasdaq: BANL) is the listing vehicle of Banle Group, a reputable marine fuel logistic company based in the Asia Pacific region that was established in 2015. We are committed to providing customers with one-stop solution for vessel refueling, which is referred to as bunkering facilitator in the bunkering industry.

NEW YORK, May 23, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hola Prime, a leading proprietary trading firm, has announced its expansion into futures trading with a clear and ambitious goal: to simplify one of the most complicated and inaccessible segments of the financial markets.While interest in futures trading is steadily rising among both retail and professional traders, the industry remains riddled with barriers that discourage newcomers and frustrate even experienced participants. Complexities like sophisticated trading platforms, use of leverage, complex margin requirements, and confusing expiry structures, the current futures market has long been a space reserved for the few.“The futures market has long been defined by its complexity, and that complexity has often acted as a barrier to broader participation,” said Somesh Kapuria, CEO and Founder of Hola Prime. “At Hola Prime, we believe access to powerful financial instruments shouldn’t be limited by jargon or structural opacity. Our mission is to strip away unnecessary layers, provide clarity through education, simplify this industry, and offer a trading experience that is both sophisticated and accessible. Futures trading should be seen as an opportunity, not a test of endurance.”Despite the strategic leverage and diversification that futures trading offers, the industry remains difficult. The language is opaque - terms like “contango”, “convergence” and “backwardation” leave beginners alienated. Expiry dates and rollovers require precise management, while trading demands advanced tools and precise decisions.Most firms don’t offer much guidance or onboarding. They expect traders to already know how everything works. This makes it hard for new traders to get started, and when combined with the stress of fast-moving markets, it often leads to burnout or losses.Hola Prime plans to completely reimagine the trading experience by putting education at the core. The vision includes creating simple, easy-to-understand resources, such as visual guides, relatable analogies, and clear comparisons with forex, to help simplify complex trading concepts. To ensure traders receive personalized support, Hola Prime aims to launch one-on-one coaching sessions covering everything from technical strategies to emotional resilience.With all of these steps, Hola Prime Academy is set to have a rapid and high-scale expansion.Furthermore, Hola Prime TV is set to become a dedicated platform for live market insights, live trading sessions, expert interviews, and step-by-step strategy breakdowns, helping traders stay informed. Additionally, Hola Prime plans to offer global accessibility, industry-first 1-hour payouts, and a transparent trading environment, breaking down the traditional entry barriers often associated with futures prop trading.Besides this, Hola Prime has removed the unnecessary complexity and created clear, straightforward rules for successful trading. Their straightforward rulebook simplifies futures trading, making it easy to understand and apply.“There’s a fundamental design flaw in how this industry has been built - too much noise, too little clarity,” said Sumedha Sharma, CFO of Hola Prime. “We’re reengineering the trader’s journey to be simple, supportive, and scalable. Futures shouldn’t be a specialist’s game - they should be open to anyone willing to learn.”By rethinking how futures trading is taught, executed, and experienced, Hola Prime is positioning itself not just as a futures prop trading firm but as a problem-solver in an industry overdue for change. In doing so, it’s not simply launching a product. It’s setting a new standard for what trader-first futures trading can look like.About Hola PrimeHola Prime is a global proprietary trading firm with offices in the UK, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Dubai, and India. It supports a diverse community of traders across 175+ countries, offering access to over 150 financial instruments across multiple trading platforms. The firm is known for its structured approach to risk management, transparency, and trader-centric operations.
