HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 September 2026 – “Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union Robot Contest 2026” (ABU Robocon 2026) was held on August 23 at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium, Hong Kong. The event is jointly organized by Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) and the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP). 16 university teams from 15 countries and regions worldwide compete in the largest university-level robotics competition in the Asia-Pacific region. The contest highlighted Hong Kong’s role as a hub for innovation and a center for nurturing young talent, in support of the Government’s alignment with the National 15th Five-Year Plan. It also fostered regional ties through student collaboration and friendly competition, promoting cultural and human exchange across the Asia-Pacific. After a series of intense battles, the University of Hong Kong’s “Sapientia” team and the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s “Power Builder” team, through steady performance and outstanding skill, successfully claimed the champion and runner-up titles, bringing honor to Hong Kong.

At the opening ceremony, the Financial Secretary Paul Chan, the Director of Broadcasting Angelina Kwan, the Chairman of HKSTP Cordelia Chung, and the Secretary-General of ABU Ahmed Nadeem, officiated at the event. Hong Kong martial artist Samuel Hui, a children’s martial arts troupe, and Chinese percussionists joined robots, which had performed at CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala, to deliver a spectacular showcase of human-robot collaboration. The Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry (SITI), Prof Sun Dong, and the President of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, Ir Prof Frank Chan, serve as award presenters.

Financial Secretary Paul Chan said, “It is a great pleasure to welcome ABU Robocon back to Hong Kong. Hong Kong is Asia’s leading international financial centrer and one of the world’s most active markets for listing and fundraising. We are also moving at full speed to establish ourselves as an international innovation and technology hub, a direction firmly supported by our country in the National 15th Five-Year Plan. Hong Kong’s I&T ecosystem is thriving, bringing together world-class universities, research institutions, start-ups, technology parks, international capital, and a unique connectivity advantage linking the Chinese Mainland and global markets. Complemented by the Greater Bay Area’s vast I&T and advanced manufacturing capabilities, innovations can move swiftly from research and development, design and prototyping, through to testing, production and commercialisation, offering young technology talent and I&T enterprises an exceptionally broad platform on which to grow and succeed.”

Secretary-General of ABU Ahmed Nadeem mentioned in his speech that, ABU Robocon had inspired thousands of students in the past 25 years and had become one of the region’s most respected educational robotics competitions. More importantly, it had fostered collaboration among broadcasters, educational institutions, industry partners, and students, creating opportunities for learning, friendship, and innovation across borders.

Chairman of HKSTP Cordelia Chung, also expressed her pride in welcoming the competition back to Hong Kong. She noted that this year’s theme, “Kung Fu Quest”, is a gruelling test of robotic agility, tactical wisdom, and flawless execution under pressure, showcasing the students’ collective brainpower and teamwork. As the city’s largest I&T ecosystem, Hong Kong Science Park now hosts over 2,600 technology companies, with more than 550 of them specialising in AI. She welcomes all global talents to experience the abundant platforms and opportunities offered by the Park. HKSTP will continue to build on its solid 25-year foundation to create greater possibilities for the next generation of innovators to grow and thrive.

Professor Sun Dong, SITI, delivered in his speech that the robots built by the students showed how technological innovation can bridge culture and modernity, while their passion and teamwork embodied perseverance that defines both martial arts and scientific discovery. The HKSAR Government is enhancing the I&T ecosystem across the full spectrum, from upstream basic research, to midstream and downstream industry development. With innovation hubs like the Hong Kong Science Park, offering comprehensive incubation, mentorship and business-matching support, Hong Kong is an ideal place for global talents to unlock potentials and realise aspirations.

“ABU Robocon 2026” adopted the theme “Kung Fu Quest,” inspired by the spirit of Chinese martial arts. Each team’s two robots were required to cooperate in forging traditional Chinese weapons, collecting martial arts manuals, and engaging in strategic duels that demonstrated precision and tactics, combining martial arts philosophy with advanced robotics and automation technology. The 16 participating teams came from 15 countries and regions, including: Chinese Mainland, Cambodia, Egypt, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, Mongolia, Macao and Hong Kong. The teams competed for 18 awards, including the Champion, First Runner-up, Second Runner-up, and the ABU Robocon Award. Prior to the award presentation ceremony, the Director of Broadcasting Angelina Kwan, and the Chief Executive Officer of HKSTP Terry Wong, took part in a handover ceremony alongside Indonesia’s representative, Ihwan Susila, marking Indonesia as the host of the next ABU Robocon.

“ABU Robocon 2026” was emceed by Joey Leung, Rikko Lee, Alice Yu and Brian Yuen. The lively atmosphere was further enhanced by the participation of cheerleading team CMLN and a lineup of singers including Lagchun, Kacey Chan, Phil Lam, IdG Bubbles, and Hung Kaho.

The Contest attracted about 2,000 spectators, including more than 650 participants, supporters, and media representatives from Chinese Mainland and overseas. The competition was broadcast live on RTHK TV31 and RTHK’s YouTube channel, while ABU member organisations also relayed or will air the event to audiences across the globe, reaching hundreds of millions, showcasing Hong Kong’s innovation and technology strength to the international community. Beyond the competition, the teams will visit Hong Kong Science Park and local enterprises, as well as explore Hong Kong’s tourist attractions to experience the city’s charm. Nearly 100 young participants will also travel to Qianhai, Shenzhen, to gain firsthand insight into the nation’s achievements in innovation and technology.

“ABU Robocon”, established in 2002, aims to foster exchange and collaboration among young people in engineering, technology, and innovation. The competition features a unique theme every year, encouraging teams to demonstrate creativity by designing and building robots to complete various challenges. Team Hong Kong has achieved remarkable results in this international competition, clinching the “ABU Robocon” Grand Prix three times (in 2019, 2022 and 2024), with a cumulative record of 3 championships, 5 first runner-ups, and 2 second runner-ups.

SCX Logistics Reports More Than 240% Revenue Growth in the First Half, Reflecting Demand for Next-Generation Industrial Infrastructure Sets Roadmap to Expand Its Logistics Portfolio Beyond 1,000,000 sq.m. and Further Strengthen Its Presence in Bangna and the EEC

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 September 2026 – SCX Corporation, SC Group’s recurring-income business platform, is advancing sustainable growth through the strategic expansion of SCX Logistics. The company has set a roadmap to expand its logistics portfolio to more than 1,000,000 sq.m. by 2029, following strong demand from customers across diverse industries. SCX Logistics reported revenue growth of more than 240% in the first half of 2026, compared with the same period last year.

The company also highlights the completion of SCX Logistics Bangna Km.20, an 80,000 sq.m. logistics development that embodies SC’s three promises: Quality, Care, and Responsibility. Combining a strategic location, total cost efficiency, flexibility, and future readiness, SCX Logistics is designed to meet the increasingly complex needs of the industrial sector. The company plans to expand across the strategic Bangna and EEC corridors by a further 200,000 sq.m. by 2027.

Mr. Rachod Nantakwang, Chief Executive Officer of SCX Corporation Co., Ltd., said that SCX continues to advance SC Group’s recurring-income businesses to build a stronger and more sustainable foundation for long-term growth. SCX Logistics is a key part of this strategy, and the company remains committed to its 2029 roadmap to expand its logistics portfolio from 200,000 sq.m. at the end of 2025 to more than 1,000,000 sq.m. in strategic logistics locations nationwide. The objective is to create greater value for customers while developing infrastructure that genuinely meets business needs.

“The warehouse market continues to experience strong demand. However, customer requirements today are markedly different from the past. Customers no longer assess warehouses solely on rental rates per square metre. They consider the entire production and logistics ecosystem: locations that reduce transportation time, flexible functionality that can adapt to future change, clean-energy solutions that support business sustainability, and, critically, a warehouse partner that can work alongside them to solve their business challenges.

We understand these evolving needs. This understanding has earned us the trust of customers across a wide range of industries and contributed to SCX Logistics achieving revenue growth of more than 240% in the first half of 2026, compared with the same period last year,” Mr. Rachod said.

SCX has consistently upheld SC’s three promises: Quality, Care, and Responsibility. The company also applies SC’s strengths in Design, Function, and Trust to its logistics developments, placing a strong emphasis on understanding each customer’s operations from the outset. This enables SCX Logistics to design spaces around actual business requirements, from building layouts and transportation flows to loading and unloading areas, as well as future energy and technology needs.

This approach is reflected in SCX Logistics Bangna Km.20, which has recently been completed across the full 80,000 sq.m. development. The project demonstrates SCX’s customer-centric approach to warehouse development, beginning with an understanding of customer requirements rather than a building concept. The project is currently fully occupied, with an occupancy rate of 100%.

SCX Logistics Bangna Km.20 is located on Bangna-Trad Road at Km.20 in Samut Prakan, on a site of more than 90 rai. It is a strategic location for logistics and transportation, serving warehouses, distribution centres, and industrial facilities across a range of sectors. The development offers both ready-built buildings and built-to-suit solutions tailored to specific customer requirements.

The project serves international customers from Asia and Europe across industries including logistics, manufacturing, data centres, and digital infrastructure.

Mr. Rachod added that SCX Logistics’ expansion plans for 2026 and 2027 will focus on strategic locations that play an important role in Thailand’s logistics network. Under the concept “Corridor, Not Just Land,” SCX selects investment locations based on the role each area plays in the supply chain and its ability to connect businesses with regional markets, rather than simply on the size of the land plot.

The company plans to add approximately 200,000 sq.m. of logistics space across key locations, including Bangna, Laem Chabang, Amata Chonburi, and the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). This expansion is expected to bring SCX Logistics’ total warehouse portfolio to approximately 400,000 sq.m. by the end of 2027.

“Each location plays a distinct role in supporting our customers’ businesses. Bangna is a key connection between Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi Airport, and the EEC. Laem Chabang is an important gateway for international trade, while Amata and the EEC are among the country’s major manufacturing bases.

We therefore do not see ourselves simply as a warehouse developer and operator. We aim to be an infrastructure partner that can deliver solutions tailored to the needs of customers across industries, while contributing to the development of Thailand’s infrastructure and supporting investment that drives national economic growth,” Mr. Rachod said.

SCX Logistics will continue to be a new and recurring source of income for SC Group over the long term. The company expects SCX Logistics’ full-year revenue to grow by approximately 280% from the previous year.

SCX Corporation operates under the vision “The Prospering Expedition” and the mission “The Way Forward,” with a focus on exploring new business opportunities that generate consistent recurring income over the long term.

Its portfolio includes SCX Logistics, which operates the warehouse business and has developed five projects totalling more than 200,000 sq.m. in strategic locations; SCX Hospitality, which operates hotels in Bangkok and other key destinations, including KROMO Bangkok, Curio Collection by Hilton, The Standard Pattaya Na Jomtien, and YANH Ratchawat; and SCX Working Solutions, which operates more than 120,000 sq.m. of office space, including Shinawatra Tower 3.

SCX’s growth is supported by a diverse and capable team, strong strategic partnerships, and a corporate culture that places customers and the environment at the heart of business development.

General sales for Wonderfruit 2026 begin 1 September

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 September 2026 – Wonderfruit, Thailand’s annual celebration of culture, art, music and nature, returns this December, with experiences for Wonderers to explore the Mind, Nature and Sound. Across five days and nights, the program unfolds around the clock from 3–7 December 2026 at The Fields of Siam Country Club, Chonburi, Thailand.

What began as a festival has grown into a cultural platform shaped by ideas, collaborations and expressions from people behind the scenes and visitors who gather in The Fields each year. For its 11th edition, this year’s theme ‘Field Village’ looks back to its roots as a homegrown Thai festival and treats The Fields as a living village.

Through music, food, movement and shared experiences, this vibrant village brings people together to celebrate the heritage and differences that enrich us all. Sound moves through the landscape alongside art and performance. Workshops connect people with the body, the land and traditions from Thailand and beyond. Food becomes a way to share stories and knowledge, and The Fields themselves remain an active part of the experience, nurtured through regenerative practices and rewilding since the beginning.

Across Wonderfruit’s pillars of Mind, Nature and Sound, this year’s program encourages curiosity and invites people to wander, listen, participate and connect:

Sound of The Fields
Wonderfruit this year expands its exploration of listening, bringing together artists across diverse traditions and subcultures. Through live performances, immersive sound experiences and unexpected musical encounters, The Fields become a space to discover new sounds and new ways of listening. Among this year’s highlights are Tangerine Dream, Eli Keszler, Orphx, ITSU & ARS, Jesse You, JakoJako, Loyboy, Gerd Janson, Hamdi Ryder, Omoloko, ffan, Faustus, Nubya Garcia, Jane Fitz, Nicolas Lutz, Sweely, DOTT, Shanka Tribe, DJ Python, Genderfunk, the Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band and more to come.

Living Through the Arts
Across The Fields, installations and performances invite deeper engagement, encouraging Wonderers to connect with art, their senses and the world around them. Each work is created with the spirit of Wonderfruit in mind, drawing inspiration from the natural environment and inviting connection.

This year’s program includes artworks such as Light Hive by RGB Installation x RedLight Lab, Contour Distort by Tawatchai Puntusawasdi and Indigo Vessel by Pinaree Sanpitak. Unconditional Space, a circular sanctuary for art and connection, returns with Tropicality: New Beginnings, co-programmed with curator Aaditya Sathish. This year’s theme explores rebirth and origins through art, performance, conversations and expanded cinema.

Rooted in Wisdom and Practice
At the center of The Fields, this year’s wellness theme ‘Rooted in the Inner Axis’ invites Wonderers to return to the stillness within. The program includes nature-led workshops and guided movement including Create Your Own Herbal Balm with Thai Traditional Medicine, The Ancestral Forest Therapy Experience, Deep Dance Meditation and Terrains of the Body: Yoga & Mobility. Dhyana, a program exploring awakening through simple, direct experience, returns this year with rituals and practices rooted in non-duality. Wonderers can expect teachings, stories, music and movement, with different ways to explore awareness and intrinsic wisdom.

Stories to Eat
Food at Wonderfruit celebrates local ingredients and traditional recipes from Thailand and the region. Wonderers can take part in hands-on cooking and food workshops focused on Thai ingredients and traditional recipes, alongside a Burmese breakfast by Lady GooGoo.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 September 2026 – As global demand for sustainable solutions accelerates amid geopolitical uncertainty, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and intensifying climate-related challenges, Hong Kong is strengthening its position as a leading international platform for Chinese mainland green technology and sustainability enterprises seeking to go global, according to Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK).

The Global Head of Financial Services, FinTech and Sustainability at InvestHK, Mr King Leung, said the convergence of three far-reaching global trends has created unprecedented opportunities for Chinese green technology companies to enter international markets.

The first is geopolitical volatility. Conflict in the Middle East disrupted critical oil supply chains and sent energy prices into sharp fluctuation, prompting governments and companies to accelerate the energy transition and diversify supply risk. The second is the AI wave, whose immense computing demands are driving a staggering appetite for electricity and spurring rapid innovation across the entire ecosystem, from data centres and energy storage facilities to clean energy technologies. The third is extreme heat: this summer’s unprecedented heat waves pushed temperatures in parts of Europe above 40°C, prompting Eurostar to announce that its next generation of trains must be equipped with air-conditioning systems capable of operating at 55°C to meet operating demands in the decades ahead.

“Green technology and sustainability carry lower geopolitical sensitivity than many other sectors and remain a blue-ocean field with vast untapped potential,” said Leung. “Against this backdrop, mainland enterprises have built formidable competitive advantages across energy storage, solar power, wind energy, circular economy solutions, electric vehicles and hydrogen technologies — in both technical sophistication and cost competitiveness. This is a window for them to showcase their technology, brands and even Chinese green standards to the world, and Hong Kong is uniquely positioned to help transform these strengths into international growth opportunities.”

Morgan Stanley’s 2026 Sustainable Signals survey shows that 92 percent of individual investors worldwide have an interest in sustainable investing, a figure that continues to reach new highs, underscoring how firmly sustainability has secured its place among the most closely watched investment themes globally.

Leung noted that Hong Kong’s role as a “super-connector” and “super value-adder” has become increasingly vital in helping mainland enterprises navigate international expansion. “Hong Kong provides far more than capital. From identifying untapped markets and matching the right enterprises with the right destinations and strategic partners, to building relationships and providing sustained support, we connect enterprises with the markets, partners, professional services and international networks essential for successful overseas growth,” he said.

In June, InvestHK led its first New Energy and Sustainability Business Mission to the United Kingdom, jointly organised with the UK Department for Business and Trade. The delegation brought together 25 companies spanning battery and energy storage, renewable energy and hydrogen, smart electric vehicle infrastructure, advanced materials and AI. Approximately half of the participating companies were from the Chinese mainland and seeking international expansion opportunities, while the remainder were innovators from Hong Kong and overseas — a composition that in itself reflects Hong Kong’s role as the pivotal hub of a two-way green investment corridor.

The two-week programme across London, Edinburgh and Aberdeen delivered results that exceeded expectations. A post-mission survey found that more than 80 percent of participating companies planned to expand their UK operations within the next two years, with over half already moving to quantify their investment commitments in concrete terms. Beyond the “go-global” dimension, UK companies also expressed keen interest in conducting green technology research and development and establishing intellectual property in Hong Kong while leveraging the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area for large-scale production. The Northern Metropolis, too, has caught their attention as an area to watch, further validating Hong Kong’s positioning as a two-way investment platform connecting the nation with international markets.

Leung highlighted Hong Kong’s mature green finance ecosystem as a distinctive advantage in mobilising patient capital at scale. The city’s green and sustainable bond issuances have topped the Asian league table for eight consecutive years; in 2025, approximately US$40 billion in related bonds were arranged in Hong Kong, representing around 40 percent of Asia’s total. As of the first quarter of 2026, Hong Kong was home to 190 environmental, social and governance (ESG) funds recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission, with assets under management reaching US$139.1 billion.

“Hong Kong is not only a capital marketplace; it is also an incubator and accelerator for green technology, where innovations can be commercialised, scaled and introduced to global investors,” Leung said. He noted that one mainland energy storage system solution provider in the UK delegation is, with InvestHK’s support, currently undertaking early-stage international market engagement ahead of a planned listing in Hong Kong.

A further advantage that sets Hong Kong apart is its ability to help internationalise China’s leading green technologies and standards. Backed by an internationally recognised legal framework, a robust intellectual property protection regime and world-class professional services, the city offers a rich variety of internationally credible settings — from fully integrated circular economy models spanning electronics recycling through to retail, to photovoltaic vacuum glass panels on the façades of high-rise buildings, and the refining of waste cooking oil into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

“By leveraging Hong Kong’s international connectivity, IP protection and trusted business environment, we are steadily building a compelling narrative around Chinese green standards and telling the story of Chinese green innovation to the world,” Leung said.

As geopolitical, regulatory and operational uncertainty deepens, safeguarding corporate interests during the go-global journey remains a key concern for enterprises. To support them, InvestHK will organise a series of practical go-global workshops, bringing in professional services providers from the banking, insurance and advisory sectors to share the latest market intelligence and practical guidance from a risk management perspective, helping companies prepare for the range of contingencies they may encounter. In parallel, InvestHK will lead another sustainability-focused business delegation to Canada in September, extending the reach of Hong Kong’s two-way green investment platform even further afield.

Leung said mainland green technology and sustainability enterprises have made enormous strides in research, innovation and manufacturing and are, in many respects, already ahead of the curve globally. “InvestHK will continue to press forward on investment attraction and promotion, connecting these outstanding enterprises with the right capital, markets and ecosystems,” he said. “With Hong Kong serving as the showcase window, we will help bring the country’s most compelling green growth stories to the global stage, one by one.”
