MUNICH, June 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A global energy transition is no longer optional-it's a necessity. But behind the scenes of solar and wind, another technology is entering industrial reality with far greater implications. Neutrinovoltaic technology, developed by the Neutrino® Energy Group, is not a distant concept. It's an operational platform for decentralized, 24/7 energy generation that is now expanding into mobility, aerospace, marine systems, and even high-security communications.Neutrinovoltaic Energy: Quiet, Infinite, Everywhere. Neutrinovoltaic technology converts the kinetic energy of neutrinos and other non-visible radiation into electricity. These omnipresent particles trigger atomic vibrations in a nanomaterial composed of alternating layers of graphene and doped silicon. The resulting resonant frequency is transformed into direct current. Far from ambient energy scavenging, this is a controlled, scalable generation method already powering advanced applications.Power Without Fuel: The Neutrino Power CubeThe Neutrino Power Cube is a compact, modular, and emission-free energy system delivering 5 to 6 kilowatts of continuous power. Weighing just 50 kilograms, it operates silently and autonomously, independent of weather or location. With no fuel, no combustion, and no grid connection required, the Cube holds the potential to decentralize energy infrastructure and become a cornerstone of clean, off-grid power generation worldwide.Autonomous Mobility: The Pi CarThe Pi Car applies neutrinovoltaic integration to electric vehicles. Instead of relying on traditional charging infrastructure, the Pi Car generates power continuously by embedding neutrinovoltaic materials into structural components like the body panels and roof. After an hour in ambient conditions, the vehicle can achieve up to 100 kilometers of additional range. Collaborators include Simplior Technologies for AI-based energy optimization, C-MET Pune for materials development, and SPEL Technologies for battery integration. The concept also supports retrofitting existing EV platforms to enhance range and energy independence.Flight Beyond Limits: Pi FlyPi Fly is Neutrino® Energy Group's aeronautics program, developing UAVs powered by onboard neutrinovoltaic systems and supercapacitor storage. Current prototypes include multirotor and flying wing models. The next phase targets autonomous VTOL aircraft for cargo delivery. Supporting this effort are mobile hydrogen refueling units, also powered by neutrinovoltaics, enabling off-grid aviation infrastructure.Maritime Transformation: Nautic PiNautic Pi brings this energy platform to the sea. Neutrinovoltaic-powered marine vessels are under conceptual development, allowing autonomous navigation without onboard fuel or external charging. The system is particularly suited for long-duration missions, remote operations, and submersible platforms.Communication Breakthrough: Project 12742Finally, Project 12742 explores neutrino-based data transmission. Unlike radio signals, neutrinos pass through dense materials with minimal interference. This allows for real-time, secure global communication even through rock, oceans, or planetary bodies-an enormous leap for high-security and interplanetary data systems.As governments and industries seek viable decarbonization paths, the Neutrino® Energy Group is no longer just proposing solutions-it's deploying them. With a multidisciplinary team of hundreds of researchers, engineers, and scientists from over 40 countries, strategic alliances, and a growing portfolio of high-impact applications, neutrinovoltaic technology isn't coming-it's already here. And it's conquering the world.Neutrino Energy GroupNeutrino Scientific BoardHolger Thorsten Schubart - CEOWebsite: www.neutrino-energy.comContact InformationHolger Thorsten SchubartCEO and member of the Scientific Advisory Boardoffice@neutrino-energy.com+493020924013Related Videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiswrRR8H2QSOURCE: Neutrino Energy Group Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Jun 9, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - At the 62nd European Renal Association Congress (ERA 2025), Everest Medicines unveiled new clinical data on EVER001 (previously known as XNW1011), a next-generation covalent reversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, in patients with primary membranous nephropathy (pMN). This marks the first time EVER001’s clinical data have been unveiled at an international academic congress. This initial unveiling of the preliminary data at an international congress focuses on pMN. The results showed encouraging signals in terms of novel mechanism, preliminary efficacy, and safety. These findings provide a solid foundation for future therapeutic strategies in proteinuric autoimmune glomerular diseases including pMN and demonstrate Everest’s advancing innovation capabilities and global development momentum.EVER001 is a covalent reversible BTK inhibitor with potentially best-in-class characteristics for the treatment of primary membranous nephropathy (pMN) and other autoimmune renal diseases, including IgA nephropathy (IgAN), minimal change disease (MCD), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and lupus nephritis (LN). These conditions affect over 10 million patients worldwide. There are approximately 2 million pMN patients in China alone and nearly 220,000 across the United States, Europe, and Japan. There are currently no approved therapies globally, and existing treatments rely heavily on non-specific immunosuppressants, which have limited efficacy and safety concerns, highlighting the urgent need for novel mechanism-based therapies.Everest Medicines holds global rights to EVER001 for the treatment of renal diseases. As a covalent reversible BTK inhibitor, EVER001 combines high target-binding affinity with enhanced selectivity, helping to reduce off-target toxicity seen in earlier-generation BTK inhibitors. Its favorable safety and efficacy profile supports its potential to become a new standard of care across proteinuric glomerular diseases.At ERA 2025, preliminary data from the ongoing Phase 1b/2a trial showed that EVER001 was well tolerated and demonstrated promising efficacy in patients with primary membranous nephropathy (pMN). The study enrolled 31 biopsy-confirmed pMN patients who were positive for anti-PLA2R autoantibodies and received either low or high doses of EVER001 over a 36-week treatment period, with extended follow-up for someparticipants. By week 12, anti-PLA2R autoantibody levels dropped by 62.1% in the low-dose group and 87.3% in the high-dose group. Both cohorts saw reductions of approximately 93% by week 24, with 76.9% and 81.8% of patients, respectively, achieving immunologic complete remission. For 24-hour proteinuria, the low-dose group achieved a 78.0% reduction at week 36, sustained through week 52, with 69.2% reaching clinical remission. In the high-dose group, proteinuria declined by 70.1% at week 24, with 80.0% of patients achieving clinical remission.EVER001 was generally well tolerated. No clinically significant adverse events commonly associated with covalent irreversible BTK inhibitors—such as bleeding, arrhythmia, severe infections, or liver dysfunction—were observed. Most treatment-related adverse events were mild to moderate (Grade 1–2), further supporting its long-term therapeutic potential.EVER001 is expected to generate strong portfolio synergies with Everest’s commercial-stage product, NEFECON®, the first and only fully approved etiological treatment for IgAN in China, the U.S., and Europe. NEFECON® was added to China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) in November 2024, and has been included in the KDIGO 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline For The Management Of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN) And Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis (IgAV) (public review draft), making it the only targeted therapy endorsed by both international and Chinese guidelines, establishing its position as a first-line therapy. To further enhance its IgAN strategy, Everest is also developing a diagnostic test for Gd-IgA1, enabling earlier detection, more accurate disease stratification, and treatment monitoring.By integrating diagnostics and therapeutics into a unified care model, Everest is leading the transition from supportive care to precision, disease-modifying treatment for immune-mediated kidney diseases such as IgAN. This holistic strategy aims to improve disease detection and management standards and establish a comprehensive, long-term renal care platform.With EVER001 and NEFECON® advancing in parallel, Everest is driving innovation in nephrology with the goal of setting new global treatment standards. The presentation of EVER001 at ERA 2025 marks a pivotal milestone in its clinical development and demonstrates the international visibility of China-originated innovations.

The exhibition features the original artworks of lupus patients, expressing their journey in facing physical and emotional challenges via the universal language of art. This initiative aims to enhance public awareness and understanding of health, diversity and inclusion. The exhibition features diverse artistic expressions including photographs, paintings, headdresses, and installation art pieces for public viewing. A highlight piece is a warrior armour made from two months' worth of medication taken by one of the patients, symbolising how lupus patients, despite requiring long-term medication, remain strong warriors in their battle against the disease.Champion REIT has long upheld the principles of physical, mental and spiritual health and sustainability, fostering long-term partnerships with the community hoping to harness the synergies from cross-sector collaboration to create a shared social environment. As the principal sponsor of the exhibition, the Trust not only provides a creative platform for patients to express themselves, but also helps enhance public awareness and care for those suffering from rare diseases, as well as fulfilling its corporate responsibility to promote social inclusion.The “Lupus Reimagined” Art Exhibition features the artistic creations of nine lupus warriors, who showcase their emotional transformation, struggles, and growth through various artistic approaches. A highlight of the exhibition is an art photography series co-created by MLD and four well-known Hong Kong models - Janet Ma, Angie N, Ana R and Amanda S. The models wear headdresses created by the lupus patient, symbolising strength and transformation, visually representing the inner resilience of those living with lupus and inspiring society to reframe how it perceives patients’ unique experiences and the value of life.Ms Sapphire Shen, MLD founder, said, “Our three founders are all lupus patients. We hope to use art as a bridge to break down social stigma and misunderstanding, so that society can truly understand the challenges patients face and the courage they afford, thereby helping build a more empathetic and inclusive society.”Earlier on May 10 – World Lupus Day, a series of educational talks on the latest lupus treatments and awareness-raising events were hosted at Eaton Club, Three Garden Road. Building on this successful launch, the art exhibition was officially unveiled to the public at Three Garden Road in May and has been moved to the Langham Place Office Tower in June. A special sharing session will be held on 8 June, where founder Ms Sapphire Shen and the participating models will engage with visitors and patients to share their experiences and stories.

Langham Place also launched the “6D Wellness” YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@6dwellnesslp) in line with that strategy, inviting professionals and guests to share practical health information every week, injecting positive social value into the community.Ms Christina Hau, Chief Executive Officer of Champion REIT, said, “We firmly believe that sustainable business development is inseparable from close community engagement and mutual growth. Thus, the Trust has always prioritised physical, mental and spiritual health, and sustainable development as its core strategies, and has been active in building long-term partnership with the community to promote inclusion and social collaboration. As the venue sponsor of this art exhibition, we hope to offer a platform for different groups to express themselves and gain understanding, allowing more diverse voices to be heard. We will continue to give back to society with concrete actions and contribute to building a more inclusive, harmonious and healthy social environment.”In recent years, the Trust has actively collaborated with various social organisations to create shared value and achieve mutual success for all parties. It held the first “ESG Week” in 2024, partnering with stakeholders to host activities on climate resilience, social innovation and sustainable living. It has also teamed up with the Fullness Social Enterprises Society to invite local social enterprises showcase innovative solutions addressing social issues, and promote social inclusion, cultural diversity, and cross-sector collaboration. To reinforce its ESG commitment, the Trust will hold its annual flagship event “ESG Gala” in late July this year, featuring a broader range of activities co-created with partners to uphold the core values of physical, mental and spiritual health, while amplifying the voices of diversity and inclusion across the society."Lupus Reimagined" 2025 World Lupus Day Art ExhibitionPublic ExhibitionVenue: Lobby, 5th Floor, Langham Place Office Tower, 8 Argyle Street, Mong Kok, KowloonDate: 2 June - 30 June 2025Time: 09:00 - 20:00 (Monday to Sunday)Public Sharing SessionVenue: Lobby, 5th Floor, Langham Place Office Tower, 8 Argyle Street, Mong Kok, KowloonDate: 8 June 2025Time: 12:30 - 17:30 (Sunday)Photo caption:Connecting the community through art, Champion REIT organised the “Lupus Reimagined” Art Exhibition at Langham Place Office Tower, featuring the original artwork of lupus patients.The “Lupus Reimagined” Art Exhibition features the artistic creations of nine lupus warriors, who showcase their emotional transformation, struggles, and growth through various artistic approaches. The installation art piece, crafted from two months' worth of a patient's medication – around 720 pills in total, tells the story of every lupus warrior's battle against the disease. Artist Ms Christy Cheung poses with her artwork.Founder of My Lupus Diary, Ms Sapphire Shen discusses the exhibition's artistic vision and inclusive message.CreditsPresented by My Lupus Diary @mylupusdiaryProducer & Creative Director: Sapphire Shen @shensapphireArt Director & Photographer: Kim Lo @lamma @klw_hkMakeup Artist: Kae Li @kae.liiiHair Stylist: Brian Lee @brianlee_hmuaSpecial Thanks: Aarya Kalathiya, Crystal.

HONG KONG, Jun 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TF International Securities Group Limited (“TF International”) together with China CITIC Bank International Limited, Citigroup Global Markets Limited and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc announced the successful assistance in the Kyrgyz Republic's issuance of a 5-year USD benchmark international bond (represented by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic acting through the Ministry of Finance of the Kyrgyz Republic). Originally targeting an issuance size of approximately USD 500 million, the transaction saw overwhelming market demand during bookbuilding, with peak orders exceeding USD 2.1 billion (including USD 50 million underwriter's order) from over 130 investors. The final issuance size was upsized to USD 700 million with a coupon rate of 7.75%. This fully reflects the global capital market’s strong confidence in the Kyrgyz Republic’s economic development prospects and TF International’s cross-border financing capabilities.Central Asia’s Ice-Breaking Sovereign Bond Debut Pioneers New Cross-Border Financing ParadigmThis landmark transaction marks the first USD bond issuance by a Central Asian sovereign issuer in international capital markets, and represents a milestone for TF International in the field of Central Asian sovereign bond underwriting. By leveraging its global investor network and localized service strengths, TF International together with the other Global Coordinators efficiently managed cross-time-zone bookbuilding and precisely captured the optimal market window. This enabled Kyrgyz Republic’s successful debut in the international USD bond market with oversubscription, laying a solid foundation for the nation to diversify its future financing channels.The bond issuer, the Kyrgyz Republic (rated B+ by S&P, B by Fitch, and B3 by Moody’s), will utilize the proceeds to support its national budget, with a focus on financing hydroelectric power projects and infrastructure projects. The Kyrgyz Republic, as one of the earliest countries to support and engage in the Belt and Road Initiative, has seen increasingly close economic and trade relations with China. TF International signed a memorandum of understanding with the Kyrgyz Republic Ministry of Finance earlier, becoming the first Hong Kong-based Chinese securities firm to establish an official partnership with The Kyrgyz Republic Ministry of Finance.Building a Diversified Financial Services Ecosystem for the Belt and Road Initiative from Hong KongMr. Amanbaev Umutzhan Mominovich, Deputy Minister of Finance–Director of the Central Treasury, Ministry of Finance of The Kyrgyz Republic, expressed his gratitude to the Global Coordinators for the efforts and successful closing of this debut transaction. He said: "This is our first step on the international debt capital markets. We are going to maintain our presence and become a frequent issuer for further development of our country’s debt profile and meet the needs of The Kyrgyz Republic economy. This inaugural bond issuance has not only optimized the national debt structure but also raised capital at competitive rates, providing strong support for the nation's critical development projects. The oversubscription of this issuance fully demonstrates the international market's recognition of Kyrgyzstan's economic prospects and sovereign credit. It has laid a solid foundation for the country to continuously attract international capital, deepen financial openness, and integrate into the global economy, representing a crucial step towards financial autonomy and global integration."Mr. Alexander Shupletsov, Head of Emerging Markets Coverage, Belt and Road Business Department at TF International, said: "Moving forward, TF International will continue to serve as a strategic bridge, deepening capital connectivity with countries and regions along the Belt and Road. Through diversified financial services, we will promote funding facilitation and advance the sustainable development of Hong Kong as an international capital market. I would like to emphasize the importance of Hong Kong as the funding hub for Belt and Road countries. In addition to The London Stock Exchange listing, the bonds are also listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong(the first sovereign bond from Central Asia listed at HKEX). It would allow The Kyrgyz Republic to strengthen its recognition among Chinese and Asian investors. This milestone transaction was a very big step for The Kyrgyz Republic to diversify their sources of funding, build up its debt profile and create the country’s yield curve as a funding benchmark.”Embodying the SCO Spirit: A New Chapter in Regional Economic Cooperation and Sustainable DevelopmentAs the second China-Central Asia Summit approaches and the SCO’s “China Year” events gain momentum, The Kyrgyz Republic’s bond issuance marks a concrete step by Chinese financial institutions in supporting regional economic cooperation. It reflects China’s strong commitment to advancing development through financial connectivity and showcases the collaborative spirit between China and SCO member states. By deepening multilateral financial cooperation and promoting resource sharing, The Kyrgyz Republic is accelerating its integration into the global financial system and turning the vision of sustainable growth and shared prosperity into reality.Mr. ZOU Chuan, CEO of TF International, stated: “The successful issuance of this sovereign USD bond by Kyrgyz Republic marks a significant achievement in Belt and Road financial cooperation and a concrete step toward delivering on China’s national strategy and the SCO Year of Sustainable Development for the SCO Summit 2025. The deal strengthens Hong Kong’s role as a global debt financing hub and reflects a growing trend of Belt and Road countries - starting with Central Asia - shifting offshore fundraising to Hong Kong and exploring diversified financing channels. It also signals meaningful progress in the internationalization of the renminbi, as it begins to play a significant role in sovereign balance sheets. Building on this momentum, TF International will continue to leverage Hong Kong’s platform to connect the Belt and Road countries with global capital, supporting infrastructure and green development through market-based solutions, and contribute to high-level opening-up by advancing sovereign and strategic project financing.”TF International Securities Group LimitedTF International Securities Group Limited (TF International) is a Hong Kong-based subsidiary fully owned by TF Securities Co., Ltd (TFS).

HONG KONG, Jun 3, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In 2025, the policies regarding traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in Mainland China are being continuously optimized, providing broader opportunities for the consumer TCM market. This has led to increased consumer demand and purchasing intentions, offering growth potential for the industry and attracting institutional interest in the sector's value Supported by favorable policies, Neautus's recent submission to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has garnered significant attention.Currently, many companies that initially planned to list on the A-share market are shifting their focus to the Hong Kong market, with several leading firms such as Laopu Gold, Qunabox Group, APT Electronics, Mokingran, and Mixue Group making this transition. Neautus's situation is similar. Before initiating its IPO plan in Hong Kong, the company had submitted two applications for A-share listings from 2011 to 2023. Considering its future business strategies and an optimistic outlook on the Hong Kong market, the company voluntarily terminated its A-share counseling record in April 2024 and decided to list in Hong Kong. In fact, the choice of the Hong Kong market aligns more closely with Neautus's business and developmental direction.TCM Decoction-ready Product Market Shows Positive Momentum, with Neautus Securing First-Mover AdvantageTCM decoction-ready products have evolved significantly, driven by technological advancement in processing methods and growing demand for standardized and convenient TCM treatments. These products are gaining broader international market acceptance and expanding rapidly in scale. According to Frost & Sullivan, China's TCM decoction-ready product market is projected to continue its growth at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2023 to 2030 and reachRMB409.7 billion in 2030.Currently the TCM decoction-ready product market is relatively fragmented, with most market players operating on a relatively small scale and only a few enterprises achieving an annual output value exceeding RMB1 billion. Neautus is one of only three such companies, ranking second among TCM decoction-ready product manufacturers in 2023. Founded by Chairman Jiang Yun, the company pioneered the standardization and scaling of TCM decoction-ready products.Neautus not only established the first GMP factory for TCM decoction-ready products in China but also serves as a pioneer and active promoter of the standardized and scaled development of this industry. With deep roots in the sector, it holds key core technologies for the production and processing of TCM decoction-ready products, producing high-quality products and leading the market. In 2003, Neautus became the first TCM decoction-ready product manufacturer in China to receive GMP certification from the National Medical ProductsAdministration (the NMPA).It has since remained committed to promoting industry standardization while steadily advancing its own large scale operations . Furthermore, in response to current trends, Neautus adopts a forward-looking dual-pillar strategy -maintaining its leadership position in the core TCM market while driving disruptive innovations tailored to modern consumers - rapidly establishing a presence in high potential segmentsThere are over 86,000 small-scale TCM clinics, pharmacies and medical institutions in China, many of which face significant unmet needs in procuring decoction-ready products. Leveraging its dual-pillar strategy, Neautus serves institutional clients, including over 1,000 hospitals and medical institutions, and major pharmacy chains primarily through offline channels. It also supports small pharmacies, clinics and individual practitioners through digital platforms, such as Jinfang Caotang and Jinfang Cloud (online TCM medicine platform), serving 5,200+ customers. This approach enables Neautus to tap into market potential while solidifying its development foundation.Aligning with Policy and Market Demand, Strong Players Expected to Grow StrongerThe national centralized procurement policy and expanding market demand present significant opportunities for Neautus's future development. The fragmented nature of the TCM decoction-ready product market indicates that, with capital investment and technological advancements, larger enterprises have substantial potential for growth through consolidation or organic growth. Neautus, already possessing considerable scale and a leading position in the industry, is well-positioned to benefit from this trend.The "Opinions on Enhancing the Quality of TCM and Promoting High-Quality Development of the TCM Industry*", released in the first half of the year, proposed "optimizing centralized procurement and bidding policies for TCM, achieving quality at a good price". It explicitly encourages centralized procurement that emphasizes both quality and affordability in the TCM decoction-ready product segment and advocates for the cultivation of well-known TCM brands. This policy allows quality TCM decoction-ready manufacturers to maintain reasonable profit margins. Neautus's high-quality products and strong brand value align closely with both national policies and market demand,under such supportive policy, its market share is expected to further expand, reinforcing its leadership advantage.By targeting the full spectrum of TCM decoction-ready product market, particularly essential formula decoction-ready products, Neautus continues to consolidate its leading position in consumer TCM. The company's platform"Jinfang Caotang - Expert in TCM Decoction-ready Product Delivery" is designedspecifically for TCM clinics, offering quality TCM decoction-ready products and comprehensive delivery services. This further supports grassroot healthcare institutions and enhances Neautus's market presence.In addition, the consumer-oriented stocks have always been favored in the capital market, often commanding higher valuation premiums. This is particularly true for leading companies in various niche markets, which possess wide moats and are suitable for long-term investment. For instance, "the first stock of traditional gold" - Laopu Gold (6181.HK) -shifted from the A-share market to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and saw its stock price soar after its listing at the end of June 2024, rising over 21 times to date with remarkable performance. Similar to Laopu Gold's developmental path of "traditional method + modern technology", Neautus follows a dual-driven strategy of "medicine + consumption". Both companies may take different paths, but they converge in being impressive leaders within the consumer segments with amazing potentials. From a value investment perspective, their quality and potential are evident.As the scope of medical insurance coverage gradually expands, consumer TCM leaders like Neautus can enhance quality and efficiency through refined, intelligent, and systemized operations. This opens new opportunities for sustainable growth and may lead to a 'strong-get-stronger' dynamic. Given these advantages, Neautus's IPO prospects appear highly promising. With deep roots in the industry, Neautus, if successfully listed, is poised to become the first publicly traded TCM decoction-ready product company on the Hong Kong market.
