    CK Life Sciences Establishes Sequencio Therapeutics to Advance Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines Development

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 March 2026 – CK Life Sciences Int’l., (Holdings) Inc. (“CK Life Sciences” or the “Company”, Stock Code: 0775) today announced the establishment of Sequencio Therapeutics (“Sequencio”), a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to advancing the Company’s therapeutic cancer vaccine portfolio.

    The Third Pillar of a Strategic Reorganisation

    This marks the third pillar of a strategic reorganisation, following transactions involving Nasdaq-listed TransCode Therapeutics (“TransCode”, “RNAZ”) and Dogwood Therapeutics (“Dogwood”, “DWTX”) completed in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Collectively, these developments are intended to accelerate R&D, enhance operational execution, and broaden capital access for pharmaceuticals and diagnostics R&D, positioning CK Life Sciences at the forefront of therapeutic cancer vaccine development.

    Sequencio – A Therapeutic Cancer Vaccine R&DPlatform

    Sequencio Therapeutics has been established to consolidate CK Life Sciences’ therapeutic cancer vaccine research and development portfolio under a dedicated organisation, reflecting the Company’s strategic focus on this emerging class of cancer immunotherapy. The subsidiary is focused on the development of therapeutic cancer vaccines designed to train a patient’s own immune system to achieve durable, long-term remission with a favourable safety profile, addressing key limitations of current standard-of-care therapies. The establishment of Sequencio supports a long-term vision of shifting cancer treatment paradigms from transient tumour reduction toward sustained, immune-controlled remission, with vaccine discovery and design conducted in-house and development advanced through a combination of internal capabilities and external collaborations.

    Sequencio’s preclinical portfolio includes the Company’s investigational cancer vaccines targeting Trophoblast Cell Surface Antigen 2 (TROP2), which has demonstrated robust T-cell immune responses and achieved 100% tumour growth inhibition in preclinical breast and colorectal cancer mouse studies. The portfolio also includes vaccine candidates targeting PRAME (Preferentially Expressed Antigen in Melanoma), PD-L1 (programmed cell death ligand 1), B7-H3 (B7 homolog 3), and Claudin 6.

    Dr Melvin Toh, Chief Scientific Officer: A Significant Milestone in Ongoing Commitment to Transforming Cancer Treatment

    “The establishment of Sequencio marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to transforming cancer treatment,” said Dr Melvin Toh, Chief Scientific Officer at CK Life Sciences. “By consolidating our cancer vaccine research under a dedicated entity, we are establishing a focused platform with the agility and expertise required to drive breakthrough science from the laboratory to the clinic, with the aim of delivering potential benefits to patients.”

    Over the past two years, CK Life Sciences has undergone a comprehensive restructuring to maximise the potential of its R&D portfolio, with a view to attracting additional funding from investors. In 2025, the Company’s late-stage melanoma vaccine seviprotimut-L was sold to Nasdaq-listed TransCode in exchange for an equity stake in Transcode. Through the integration of seviprotimut-L into TransCode Therapeutics’ pipeline, the potential synergy between vaccine-driven immunity and RNA-based mechanisms presents an opportunity to explore new approaches to addressing treatment resistance and achieving more durable patient responses.

    Separately, in 2024, CK Life Sciences completed a transaction with Dogwood Therapeutics, a Nasdaq-listed company focused on developing new medicines for pain and neuropathy, in which CK Life Sciences holds a majority stake. Dogwood is advancing Halneuron® for chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain, which has demonstrated positive interim Phase 2b results. Dogwood has also secured a global licence to develop an intravenous formulation of SP16 for cancer-related pain.

    Both Nasdaq-listed companies are led by experienced scientific and commercial teams, providing greater access to US capital markets and potential strategic partnerships to expedite development. These transactions enable CK Life Sciences’ commercial operations to provide initial and standby funding for its in-house preclinical programmes, now consolidated under Sequencio.

    With Sequencio, TransCode and Dogwood, CK Life Sciences now offers an R&D platform with a diversified pipeline of early and late-stage projects targeting substantial unmet medical needs.

    Mr Alan Yu, Deputy Chairman: Consider Expanding in an Innovative and Hi-tech Zone like the Northern Metropolis

    “By leveraging strategic partnerships, access to public markets, and focused internal development, we are combining the agility of dedicated teams, with the resources needed to advance groundbreaking sciences,” added Mr Alan Yu, Deputy Chairman of CK Life Sciences. “We look forward to delivering these innovative therapies to the patients who need them most. As our R&D projects mature, we may need to consider expanding our R&D facilities in an innovative and hi-tech zone like that of Hong Kong’s Northern Metropolis.”

  • Yi Yun Movers Rethinks Operations as Moving Industry Evolves

    Yi Yun Movers Rethinks Operations as Moving Industry Evolves

    SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 March 2026 – Yi Yun Movers, a moving company in Singapore, is reassessing its operations as competition intensifies across the moving industry. With services often viewed as interchangeable and prices closely compared, operational efficiency, safety, and coordination are becoming key priorities.

    Yi Yun Movers

    Competitive Landscape and Market Pressures

    Singapore’s storage and moving industry was valued at USD 59.48 billion in 2024. It is projected to grow steadily, reaching USD 100.16 billion by 2033. As demand expands, operators face rising expectations from customers who want clearer quotations, faster responses, careful handling of belongings, and fewer disruptions during moves. These expectations are evolving faster than the industry’s traditional operating models.

    “Customers today are more informed and expect clarity and coordination throughout the moving process,” said Liang, Sales Manager of Yi Yun Movers. “Meeting these expectations requires tighter planning and consistent execution, especially in a highly competitive environment.”

    Operational Focus Over Marketing Claims

    Within this environment, Yi Yun Movers has focused on strengthening its core operations, particularly in areas such as safe handling, flexible scheduling, and end-to-end service coordination. The mover in Singapore provides residential and commercial moving services, along with storage, disposal, and after-hours relocations. These reflect a shift toward accommodating varied customer timelines and operational needs.

    Technology as Operational Support, Not Replacement

    The moving industry in Singapore is believed to have relatively low service differentiation, making internal efficiency a critical factor. To address this, some firms are beginning to explore how digital tools can support daily operations. Rather than replacing existing workflows, technology is being considered for practical functions, such as route planning, scheduling coordination, and administrative efficiency.

    For Yi Yun Movers, this has meant examining how planning and coordination can be tightened without disrupting established on-the-ground processes. The company has taken a cautious approach, focusing on whether digital tools can reduce manual work and improve scheduling accuracy. At the same time, it keeps experienced crews and established handling practices at the centre of operations.

    “We’re careful not to introduce changes that add complexity on the ground,” as revealed by Jovi, Operations Manager of Yi Yun Movers. “Any use of digital tools is meant to support planning and coordination, not replace the practical experience of our crews.”

    GPS Software for Route Planning and Fleet Management

    One of the key digital tools Yi Yun Movers has incorporated is GPS software. This technology helps the company optimise route planning and fleet management by:

    • Providing real-time traffic data
    • Calculating the most efficient routes
    • Tracking vehicles throughout the process

    This integration not only ensures faster service delivery but also improves customer communication regarding timeframes. With GPS software, the moving teams can focus on executing their tasks on the ground.

    SME Readiness and Incremental Technology Adoption

    This measured approach aligns with broader national discussions around small and medium enterprise (SME) readiness for technology adoption. While large-scale automation remains out of reach for many operators, incremental use of digital tools to support planning and coordination is increasingly viewed as necessary to remain competitive without compromising service reliability.

    Yi Yun Movers’ experience reflects this wider SME reality. Rather than pursuing large-scale system changes, the company has focused on incremental adjustments that support administrative efficiency and coordination, recognising that readiness varies across teams and that operational continuity remains critical in a service-led business.

    Adapting to Evolving Customer Expectations

    As relocation activity continues alongside Singapore’s dynamic property and business landscape, operators are navigating tighter margins and higher service expectations. For Yi Yun Movers, the focus remains on maintaining service consistency, careful handling of items, and adapting operations to meet changing customer needs in a highly competitive moving industry.

    Looking Ahead

    Continued growth in Singapore’s moving and storage sector is shaping how operators manage cost, coordination, and service reliability. With customer expectations evolving alongside broader economic and property trends, operational discipline and adaptability are likely to remain central to how moving firms compete.

    Yi Yun Movers intends to refine internal processes and maintain service standards while responding to industry changes pragmatically. This reflects a wider shift among local service providers toward strengthening operational foundations, as the moving industry adapts to a more demanding and competitive environment.

    In addition to enhancing route planning and fleet management with GPS software, Yi Yun Movers is exploring the use of AI-Assisted Customer Relationship Management (CRM). By integrating AI-driven CRM tools, Yi Yun Movers aims to automate customer interactions, personalise communication, and improve service delivery.

    With these forward-thinking approaches, the company is positioning itself to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market. This enables its teams to effectively address the evolving needs and expectations of Singapore’s moving and storage sector.

    HKPC’s 2nd “New Productive Forces” Job Fair 2026 Successfully Concluded Over 2,000 Job Seekers Connecting with Over 10,000 I&T Positions

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 March 2026 – In response to the national 15th Five-Year Plan’s emphasis on developing new productive forces and positioning Hong Kong as an international hub for high-caliber talent, and in alignment with the talent development initiatives outlined in the 2026–27 Budget, the “New Productive Forces” Job Fair 2026 organised by the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) was successfully held on 7 March.

    As one of HKPC’s key annual initiatives promoting Artificial Intelligence (AI) and talent development, the job fair attracted over 2,000 tertiary students, fresh graduates and job seekers from across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The event brought together more than 50 leading enterprises, organizations and government departments, offering over 10,000 quality job opportunities in key areas of new productive forces such as AI and STEAM. The event successfully established an efficient two-way talent matching platform and demonstrated HKPC’s commitment to implementing a talent-driven development strategy through concrete action.

    The Job Fair also served as a core event funded by the Innovation and Technology Commission’s “New Productive Forces Talent Programme”. The event received strong support from more than 30 organisations, including the Hong Kong Talent Engage, the Labour Department, the Federation of Hong Kong Industries, the Hong Kong Quality and Talent Migrants, as well as various tertiary institutions. The opening ceremony was held in the morning, with officiating guests including Dr Lawrence CHEUNG, Chief Technology Officer of HKPC; Miss Rosalind CHEUNG, Assistant Commissioner for Innovation and Technology (Funding Schemes) and Ms. Karen FUNG, Chief Marketing Officer of HKPC.

We must seize this opportunity to attract talent from around the world and develop new productive forces with Hong Kong characteristics. This Job Fair not only serves as a bridge connecting job seekers and enterprises but also provides an important platform to showcase how new productive forces can lead Hong Kong’s future development. Over the past two years, the “New Productive Forces Talent Programme” has organised a series of courses and technology study tours, and trained more than 1,000 participants.”

    In a subsequent sharing session, Mr. Brian WONG, Chief People and Culture Officer of HKPC, delivered a presentation titled “HR as the AI Change Agent: Driving Enterprise-wide AI Transformation.” He pointed out that the success of corporate transformation in the AI era hinges on whether human resources (HR) can effectively play the role of change drivers. He shared several practical strategies, including how to cultivate AI engineers and talent in related fields. He emphasised that a company’s talent strategy should not be limited to technical skills training but should also focus on nurturing high-level thinking and innovative capabilities in talent, driving the company to adapt to rapidly changing markets and achieve robust transformation.

HR representatives from participating companies highly praised the effectiveness of the event. Mr. Ryan Tang, Head of Personal Banking & Wealth Management Technology, Bank of East Asia, said: “The Job Fair attracted many professionals with experience in AI and technological transformation. I was very pleased to interact with them on site. Some candidates possess skills that match the bank’s needs, effectively strengthening our core talent pool.” Ms. Erica Kwan, Head of Business Development and Marketing, HSM Industrial Solution Company, said: “This Job Fair has improved our efficiency in recruiting digital and technical talent, enabling job seekers to connect more precisely with professional pathways in new industrialisation and become an important driving force for Hong Kong’s new productive forces.”Ms. Natalie Yuan, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of First Resume, remarked: “Job seekers on site showed a strong desire to enhance their job-hunting skills in the era of new productive forces. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with HKPC in the future to help talent strengthen their competitiveness.” Job seekers also widely noted that the event not only brought together a large number of quality job opportunities but also allowed them to communicate directly with company representatives and receive free career support, helping them better understand the talent requirements of emerging technology sectors and plan their future career development paths.

    AI-Powered Services Enhance the Job-Seeking Experience

    To help job seekers stand out in the competitive job market, the Job Fair continued to provide a wide range of free and comprehensive career support services. Among them, complimentary professional headshot photography remained one of the most popular services, helping many participants obtain professional photos suitable for job applications. At the same time, AI-powered CV optimisation, AI mock interviews, and one-on-one CV consultation services were also highly welcomed by participants. Multiple industry seminars and practical workshops were fully booked, covering topics such as “Applications of AI in Recruitment”, “AI Career Opportunities in the Finance and Technology Sectors”, and “100 Days of AI Transformation: Entering the Finance and Technology Industries”. Industry experts shared valuable job-hunting skills and insights into industry trends. In addition, the Job Fair introduced a new “Startup Zone, allowing job seekers to engage directly with local startup entrepreneurs and broaden their innovative thinking. The founder of the startup CanTone said, “This event allowed more people to learn about our entrepreneurial vision, and it also helped us recruit student interns, enhancing our startup’s competitiveness.” The “Maker Workshop also attracted many participants, who operated equipment such as 3D printers and laser engraving and cutting machines under the guidance of professional instructors, experiencing the appeal of innovation and technology manufacturing and further stimulating their interest in exploring the field of new productive forces.

    HKPC has long been committed to cultivating talent with strong competitiveness for the Greater Bay Area. Through the integrated model of “job matching + career support + industry exchange”, the Job Fair not only helps enterprises address their talent needs but also enables job seekers to seize the opportunities presented by the development of new productive forces and achieve high-quality employment.

    In the future, HKPC will continue to build diversified talent exchange and matching platforms while further enhancing the talent development ecosystem in the field of new productive forces.
