The brand has presented collections at London, Shanghai and Hong Kong Fashion Weeks and has been showcased at the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum “Sustainable Thinking” in Florence, Italy and the Vancouver Art Gallery's “Fashion Fictions” in Vancouver, Canada. The brand was named in the Top 100 Designers globally at the JOOR x NJAL 100 Project and has been honoured in the DFA Design for Asia Awards multiple times.Autumn/Winter 2026 Collection: 404: Safety Not FoundThe collection responds to a primal glitch in our hyper-connected world: the fear of exposure. It captures that moment of rupture, examining the armour we build and the private vulnerabilities it is meant to protect. Fashion becomes a firewall – at times impenetrable, at others tragically transparent. Seams are left open like data leaks, while protective layers dissolve into lace. Here, the error message is not a failure but an aesthetic: a beautiful yet unsettling reminder that true security has become obsolete. This is the uniform for an era in which the greatest threat is not being hidden but being seen. Bettie JiangBrand: Bettie Haute CoutureDesigner and brand profileBettie Jiang graduated from the London College of Fashion at the University of the Arts London, specializing in Fashion Design and Surface Textiles. She has comprehensive knowledge of fabrics and concept-interpretation skills that she always honours in the salient details of fabric in her collections.

Known for her commitment to zero-waste practices and unique tailoring, Bettie continues to redefine modern sophistication.Autumn/Winter 2026 Collection: Palette of VariationThis collection evolves from the designer’s fundamental style, incorporating geometric designs, Bauhaus influences and zero-waste pattern cutting. Inspired by kinetic garment construction, the collection seeks to create pieces that liberate the human body and challenge traditional clothing boundaries, merging style with sustainability. The collection presents a vision of liberating, environmentally conscious fashion that is not only visually appealing but also inherently functional and adaptable to diverse lifestyles. Harrison WongBrand: HARRISON WONGDesigner and brand profile:HARRISON WONG is renowned for its avant-garde style and innovative designs featuring minimalist structures. Harrison emphasises sharp, structured lines and an understated elegant wearing experience, showcasing exceptional fashion aesthetics and extremely high wearability. The brand currently operates four standalone stores in Hong Kong and is stocked in high-end retail channels such as Harvey Nichols. It is now actively expanding internationally, with its first overseas flagship store opened at Royal Exchange in central London, marking a significant milestone in entering the UK and European markets.Autumn/Winter 2026 Collection: Midnight SnowfallThe collection captures the quiet poetry of snow drifting through a starless night sky. Black and white graduated patterns echo falling flakes, with dense white speckles dissolving into inky denim and wool, while checker prints layered with snow like overlays introduce a rhythmic sense of depth. Deconstructed tailoring brings together contemporary menswear and subtle sporty elements, forming hybrid constructions and relaxed silhouettes that move with effortless urban ease and evoke a sense of serene winter tranquility. Menu TsaiBrand: selfFab. Designer and brand profile:Menu Tsai previously worked as a creative director in advertising, earning multiple international and local awards and developing a strong foundation in storytelling and emotional connection. These experiences shape selfFab., a brand where fashion meets culture in motion. Drawing inspiration from sports culture, global youth communities and heritage references, selfFab. explores hybridity, bridging past and present, craft and experimentation, individuality and community, inviting wearers to express who they are beyond teams, borders or labels.Autumn/Winter 2026 Collection: THE HYBRID LEAGUEInspired by football culture, jerseys are reimagined not only as national symbols but as cultural icons shaped by everyday life. The collection transforms training wear into a daily uniform, redefining how sports apparel is worn and understood. THE HYBRID LEAGUE views football culture through a different lens – not as sport, but as a shared language absorbed into cities, music scenes, fashion and personal expression.Main event:Fashion Hong Kong Designer ShowroomDate: 18 February (Wednesday) to 23 February 2026 (Monday)Time: 10am-6pm (reservation required)Venue: Unit 505, 70 Wapping Wall, London E1W 3SSWebsites- Fashion Hong Kong: www.fashionhongkong.com- Fashion Hong Kong Instagram: @hktdcfashionhkMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC's Communications and Public Affairs Department:Navin LawTel: (852) 2584 4525Email: navin.cm.law@hktdc.orgHKTDC Newsroom: http://mediaroom.hktdc.com/enAbout Fashion Hong KongFashion Hong Kong is a series of international promotional events organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) to promote Hong Kong fashion designers and labels in the global fashion arena.Since 2015, Fashion Hong Kong has actively participated in international fashion weeks and renowned events to showcase Hong Kong's unique and diversified designs.

Initiatives like these play an important role in fostering greater understanding, inclusion, and connection within the community,” said the President of the Penang Cheshire Home, Mr. Koay Say Loke Andrew.Guided by its commitment to local community well-being, Spritzer believes that nature should be shared and experienced by everyone, regardless of ability, background or circumstance. This initiative is part of the Company’s ongoing outreach efforts to nurture shared moments that embrace diversity in spaces where all Malaysians can come together and enjoy the outdoors. The visit represents more than a community social responsibility (CSR) activity, it demonstrates Spritzer’s belief and commitment to meaningful, people-first community building.The visit brought together 93 individuals, including residents with disabilities and volunteers, who received a warm reception with a communal lunch, allowing participants time to settle in before moving on to a mini golf activity within the park grounds. Designed to be interactive and enjoyable for all, the session encouraged bonding and active participation among attendees in a safe, comfortable and supportive setting.Photo 2 and 3: Volunteers and residents, including residents with disabilities, had the chance to take part in activities like mini golf in a safe, accessible, and comfortable environment, while enjoying the lush green scenerySpritzer acknowledges the longstanding impact of the Penang Cheshire Home, that has provided residential care, rehabilitation and skills development for persons with physical disabilities since 1978.

HONG KONG, Feb 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Shoucheng Holdings Ltd. (00697.HK) has come into investor focus after several of its robotics portfolio companies - Unitree Robotics, Songyan Dynamics and Galbot - appeared in China's annual Spring Festival Gala, a nationally broadcast event often regarded as a signal of technological maturity and policy direction.The program featured humanoid robots performing synchronized movement, real-time interaction and autonomous manipulation tasks. Market participants said the coordinated appearance of multiple companies backed by the same investor highlighted both the commercialization progress of China's robotics industry and Shoucheng's positioning as a listed proxy for the sector.Demonstrations Highlight Different Layers of Robotics TechnologyThe three companies showcased different functional segments of robotics development.Unitree Robotics presented a humanoid robot formation capable of executing complex motion sequences, including flips and martial-arts-style movements. The performance demonstrated high-precision motion control and multi-robot synchronization, technologies considered critical for scalable manufacturing applications.Songyan Dynamics introduced consumer-oriented humanoid robots designed for household interaction. The robots displayed lifelike expressions and coordinated body movements, emphasizing the transition of humanoid robotics from industrial testing toward domestic and service scenarios.Galbot demonstrated autonomous manipulation using its AstraBrain embodied artificial-intelligence model. The robot performed real-time tasks such as picking up small objects and handling fragile items without pre-programmed instructions, illustrating environmental perception and on-the-spot decision-making capabilities.Together, the demonstrations covered motion capability, human-robot interaction and embodied intelligence, suggesting Shoucheng's investments span multiple parts of the robotics value chain rather than a single technology path.Investment Strategy Extends Beyond Financial ParticipationShoucheng invested in the companies during development and expansion phases and has continued supporting commercialization through distribution and application channels. The company is developing the Taozhu New Creation Hub network, a retail and experience platform intended to connect robotics manufacturers with consumers and enterprise users.The planned rollout of approximately 20 locations is designed to provide testing environments, sales channels and customer acquisition opportunities. Industry observers say the model may allow the company to generate service income and commissions in addition to equity investment gains.Shoucheng is also encouraging collaboration among portfolio companies. Complementary technologies displayed in the broadcast are expected to translate into joint deployments in real-world scenarios, forming a commercialization pathway linking development, application and monetization.Exposure May Accelerate Commercialization and FinancingThe Spring Festival Gala attracts hundreds of millions of viewers annually and is widely regarded as a national showcase for emerging technologies. Analysts say the exposure may accelerate customer adoption and financing activity for participating robotics firms, including potential public listings.As portfolio companies move toward larger-scale deployment, investors increasingly view Shoucheng as an integrated industry participant rather than a passive venture investor. The company's valuation may become tied to commercialization speed and earnings conversion within its robotics ecosystem.OutlookMarket participants say the next phase will depend on whether public attention translates into sustained demand. Store efficiency, adoption rates and commercialization progress across the portfolio are expected to become the primary indicators of performance.With robotics moving from laboratory demonstrations toward practical applications, Shoucheng's strategy - combining investment, distribution infrastructure and scenario deployment - positions it to benefit from broader industry expansion if adoption accelerates.

HONG KONG, Feb 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala concluded with a spectacular display that served as a global collective debut for China’s robotics industry. On a stage shared by millions, companies such as Unitree Robotics, Magic Atom Robotics, Galbot, and Songyan Dynamics showcased the peak of domestic engineering and embodied intelligence. All of these companies are either invested in or deeply positioned within the robotics portfolio of Shoucheng Holdings Limited (0697.HK).This showcase, described by industry observers as the "Chinese Embodied Intelligence Parade," signaled the industry’s imminent transition into large-scale commercialization. As a national-level flagship event, the Gala serves as a barometer of technological readiness. The simultaneous appearance of multiple portfolio companies highlights Shoucheng Holdings’ industrial standing and marks a strategic pivot from the validation stage to the harvest phase.Systematic Deployment: Building a Robust Industry-Chain StructureShoucheng Holdings’ investment logic extends beyond simply picking star startups. Instead, it has constructed a systematic framework covering the most critical nodes of the robotics industry chain:Full-Machine Manufacturing and Scalability: Represented by Unitree Robotics, focusing on engineering maturity and the capability for large-scale commercial production.Embodied Intelligence Systems: Represented by Galbot, focusing on the deep integration of AI and hardware—the brain-body coordination that defines the future of the industry.Core Engineering and Power Systems: Represented by Songyan Dynamics, diving deep into the underlying power systems and mechanical components that provide the foundation for all robotic movement.This multi-layered approach—covering Full Machine, Systems, and Components—provides the portfolio with both growth elasticity and structural stability against market volatility.2026 Inflection Point: Driving Value Re-ratingFrom a financial perspective, Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics returns are shifting from incremental growth to structural explosion, driven by two core catalysts:First Catalyst is Valuation Re-rating through Industrial Leadership: As robotics moves from laboratory concepts to real-world delivery, companies with proven execution are seeing significant valuation uplifts. The national-level endorsement of the Spring Festival Gala has solidified these companies' market-leader status, generating positive feedback in financing and orders. According to market data, projects such as Galbot and X Square Robotics have already generated absolute investment returns exceeding 10x in recent financing rounds.Second catalyst is The "IPO Harvest Year" of the Capital Cycle: 2026 is poised to be the year when Shoucheng’s long-term bets move into concentrated realization. Unitree Robotics is currently in the final stages of IPO counseling and is expected to become the flagship robotics IPO of China. Analysts estimate that approximately four robotics companies within the portfolio will launch or complete their IPO processes within the year. As these assets move from private to public markets, the pricing logic will shift from technological speculation to performance-driven liquidity premiums.Scenario Closed-Loop: Evolving into an "Industrial Orchestrator"Beyond capital deployment, Shoucheng Holdings’ most forward-looking move is the construction of a commercialization closed-loop. The company is leveraging its deep resources in core commercial districts, smart parking networks, and medical parks to provide high-frequency application scenarios for its portfolio companies.Global Debut of the Robotics Service ComplexIn February 2026, Shoucheng Holdings officially launched the world’s first Integrated Robotics Service Complex in Shougang Park. This facility integrates experience, sales, maintenance, and service, marking Shoucheng’s transition from a pure investor to a deep industrial operator and "scenario orchestrator."Scenario Empowerment through "Taozhu New Creation Hub"This commercial pathway is being accelerated through the Taozhu New Creation Hub brand. By creating a path from stage exposure to offline experience and livestream conversion, Shoucheng is turning high-tech innovations into tangible consumer products. This model allows the company to capture not only equity appreciation but also stable commission and service-based cash flows, shifting toward efficiency-driven growth.Shoucheng Holdings has evolved far beyond a traditional financial investor to become an Industrial Resource Integrator and Scenario Orchestrator. Through its Capital + Scenario + Platform model, the company has built a multi-dimensional return structure. As 2026 marks the first year of large-scale robotic commercialization, Shoucheng’s years of strategic accumulation are reaching a point of resonance, triggering a comprehensive re-rating of its market value.

SINGAPORE, Feb 19, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Asia’s largest food retailers, manufacturers, restaurant chains, and hospitality groups remain behind international better practice on sustainable and responsible protein sourcing, but progress is accelerating across the region, according to The Asian Protein Buyers 100: An Assessment of Responsible and Sustainable Sourcing released today by Asia Research & Engagement (ARE). The APB100 is a benchmark based on investor-backed priorities - assessing how 100 of Asia’s largest listed protein-buying companies — headquartered or operating across Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mainland China, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam — manage environmental, social, and governance risks embedded in meat, dairy, poultry, and seafood supply chains. Collectively, the companies assessed represent more than USD500 billion in market capitalisation and sit at the choke point of Asia’s protein system, where procurement decisions shape production standards, risk management and food-system outcomes.The companies assessed include some of Asia’s most recognisable food and retail groups. These include China Mengniu Dairy, Yili Group, Yonghui and Yum China (Mainland China); AEON, Seven & I Holdings, Meiji, Nissin and NH Foods (Japan); CJ CheilJedang, Lotte and E-Mart (South Korea); Charoen Pokphand Foods and Thai Union (Thailand); Jollibee, Century Pacific Food and San Miguel Food & Beverage (Philippines); Vinamilk (Vietnam); and Hindustan Lever, Nestle India, Jubilant, Devyani, DMart, Westlife Foodworld (McDonald’s India) (India), among others.Scores are improving, but the baseline remains lowNow in its second edition, the benchmark shows clear momentum since 2023 — but also highlights that most companies remain at an early stage of credible implementation.The average overall score increased from 9% in 2023 to 16% in 2025, with around 80% of companies improving year-on-year. More than half of comparable companies moved up at least one performance tier.However, no company reached the top two performance tiers, underscoring a persistent gap between sustainability commitments and on-the-ground execution.A growing group of leaders is emergingThe number of companies in the leading Tier 3 group more than doubled from 10 in 2023 to 26 in 2025, while the lowest-scoring group halved from 44 to 21 companies.Progress, however, remains uneven and concentrated among a subset of early movers and sustainability themes, while a significant minority of companies continues to disclose little or nothing across several material risk areas.Climate, labour, and waste are moving fastestCompanies performed strongest on Water & Waste, Labour , and Climate Change, reflecting wider uptake of international disclosure frameworks and growing expectations around supply-chain due diligence.Climate and labour show the fastest improvement since 2023, driven by emerging regulatory pressure and investor scrutiny, particularly around Scope 3 emissions and labour standards in supply chains.Governance and protein diversification remain critical gapsSeveral material risk areas continue to show weak performance. Governance in relation to protein sustainability, remains the lowest-scoring theme, averaging just 4.5%, with most companies scoring zero. Few have board-approved protein sustainability strategies, capital allocation plans, or accountability mechanisms.Protein diversification also remains underdeveloped at 7.4%, indicating that most companies have yet to articulate how they will shift product portfolios toward truly low carbon plant proteins at scale.Disclosures on deforestation and biodiversity, animal welfare, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) also remain thin and rarely quantified. The intersection of climate and deforestation is still not being duly harnessed. Similarly, policies and procurement practices that strengthen animal welfare and enable antibiotic reduction remain a low point, with average animal welfare performance at just 14.1% and only one company aligned with recognised higher-welfare standards or independently certified disclosure.Why this matters: Asia is the decisive region for global protein systemsCompared with innovative international peers, many of Asia’s protein buyers remain behind on deforestation-free sourcing, antibiotic stewardship, higher-welfare policies and procurement, plant-protein targets and science-based climate transition planning.However, Asia now represents the most important opportunity for global leadership in responsible protein systems. And with less than five years to implement meaningful change towards various 2030 United Nations and related targets, the vision of a more responsible and sustainable food system is at risk.“Asia is the world’s fastest-growing protein market, which means what happens here will determine the future of global food systems,” said Kate Blaszak, ARE Director, Protein Transition. “ThisAPB100 shows that disclosure and awareness are improving and aims to trigger a shift from Policy to Practice. With a realm of better practice examples in the report to also assist companies, the next phase must focus on full supply-chain coverage, measurable targets, and annual progress with board-level accountability.”Download the APB100 Report HERE.About Asia Research & Engagement (ARE)ARE brings leading investors into dialogue with Asian-listed companies to address sustainable development challenges and help companies align with investor priorities.

ARE report finds JSW Energy and Tata Power best positioned for firm-power era; NTPC’s execution critical as coal economics tightenSINGAPORE / NEW DELHI, INDIA, Feb 18, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - India’s power sector is entering a decisive new phase as electricity demand surges, peak loads hit record highs, and the country moves toward its 500GW non-fossil capacity target by 2030 post a record 52GW capacity added in FY26But the next chapter of the transition will not be defined by installed capacity alone.  A new report by Asia Research & Engagement (ARE), Powering Net Zero: Pathways to Clean Energy for India’s Utility Companies, finds that the market is shifting toward firm, dispatchable and availability-linked power — creating clear divergence among India’s largest listed utilities.  The analysis identifies:  JSW Energy and Tata Power as best placed to monetise the transition, combining contracted renewable growth, storage depth and improving cashflow quality. Adani Green Energy remains the fastest capacity scaler with strong long-term visibility, though storage integration remains at an early stage. NTPC, India’s largest generator, retains unmatched scale and sovereign-backed financing, but its transition outcomes hinge on execution speed and managing coal’s declining role.Adani Power remains predominantly thermal, with limited exposure to the structural upside from renewables and storage.  The report also highlights tightening coal economics. While new ultra-supercritical coal plants clear bids at INR5. 5–6 per kWh, effective delivered costs rise materially once utilisation, fuel volatility and compliance costs are factored in. By comparison, round-the-clock and storage-backed renewable projects are clearing between INR2.7–5.1 per kWh with availability guarantees embedded in contracts.  “The debate is no longer coal versus renewables,” said Arun Kumar, Strategic Advisor for Power Markets & Technology Innovation at ARE and lead author of the report. “As procurement shifts toward round-the-clock supply, reliability and execution — not just megawatts — will determine competitive advantage.”   “While this ARE study highlights significant momentum across the sector, it also identifies areas where sharper strategic clarity, improved contracting frameworks, and stronger delivery capabilities will be essential to meeting India’s long-term decarbonisation goals.”   For deeper analysis and complete assessment, download the complete report HERE. About Asia Research & Engagement (ARE)ARE brings leading investors into dialogue with Asian-listed companies to address sustainable development challenges and help companies align with investor priorities.

(OTCMKTS: BIXT) (“Bioxytran” or the “Company”), a biotechnology company developing galectin-targeting carbohydrate technologies with applications across infectious disease, metabolic health, and inflammation, today announced that it has entered into a commercial Distribution Agreement with Khoury Medical LTD (“Khoury Medical”), a company focused on the development and commercialization of plant-derived dietary supplements.Under the agreement, Khoury Medical will commercialize A-SUQAR®, a chewable dietary supplement containing Bioxytran’s proprietary partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG) formulation, in permitted markets in accordance with the Distribution Agreement. The product is marketed as a dietary supplement intended to support healthy post-meal blood sugar levels, consistent with applicable regulatory requirements.“This agreement represents an important milestone for Bioxytran as we transition from a development-stage organization to a company with recurring commercial revenue,” said David Platt, Chief Executive Officer of Bioxytran. “A-SUQAR® provides real-world market validation of our proprietary carbohydrate-based galectin platform, while preserving our ability to advance higher-value pharmaceutical and antiviral programs.”Bioxytran’s recent positive Phase 2 clinical results with ProLectin-M, its investigational antiviral candidate, further validate the Company’s proprietary carbohydrate-based galectin platform. The same foundational galectin-targeting science underpins both its pharmaceutical development programs and select nutraceutical applications, demonstrating the breadth of potential applications for this technology.The Distribution Agreement provides the potential for earned, volume-based marketplace exclusivity, subject to defined purchase thresholds and conditions set forth in the Distribution Agreement.
