The inaugural HKSAR Contest of the 3Chuang Competition aims to encourage local tertiary students to break barriers across institutions, regions, cultures and disciplines. It brings together innovative ideas and unlocks entrepreneurial potential, further fostering the development of Hong Kong’s innovation and technology ecosystem. Outstanding teams will have the chance to advance to the National Finals and expand their horizons.

In his speech, Prof. DONG Cheng, Associate Vice President (Knowledge Transfer) of PolyU, remarked, “PolyU is honoured to be the sole organiser of the inaugural HKSAR Contest of the 3Chuang Competition. We are committed to driving the translation of research outcomes into impact for societal benefits. The National competition provides a platform for young people to unlock their potential in innovation and entrepreneurship, bringing together remarkable talents, who can learn from each other with a creative mindset, serve society and contribute to National development.” Prof. Dong added that PolyU had set up 15 translational research institutes and centres across the Chinese Mainland. He encouraged the winning teams to leverage PolyU’s extensive innovation network, incubation support and market resources, thereby better integrating into the overall National development, tapping into Chinese Mainland markets, and converting innovation outcomes into tangible momentum for social advancement.

Prof. LI Qi, Chairman of the Competition Organizing Committee (COC) of the 3Chuang Competition from Xi’an Jiaotong University, has vigorously supported PolyU in hosting the HKSAR Contest and fully recognised its efforts. He remarked in his speech, “A total of 34 provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions and Special Administrative Regions across the Nation have taken part in this year’s Competition, which also marks the HKSAR’s debut participation. We especially appreciate the tremendous support and assistance from PolyU’s senior management, faculty and students. They have contributed to the HKSAR and brought glory to the Nation, laying a fertile ground for nurturing ‘3Chuang’ talents while connecting domestic and overseas stakeholders for the development of ‘3Chuang’. We warmly welcome outstanding teams from Hong Kong to the National Finals, to achieve even greater results.”

The National 3Chuang Competition landed in Hong Kong last year. Since its kick-off, it has attracted numerous cross-region, cross-institution and cross-discipline teams to participate in the university-level round of competition. Team members come from 32 higher education institutions across Hong Kong, Macao, the Chinese Mainland and overseas. In addition to major universities in Hong Kong, prestigious names such as Guangdong University of Technology, Sun Yat-sen University, Shenzhen University, the City University of Macau and the University of Toronto in Canada also feature. Eventually, 29 outstanding teams from the Regular, International and Practical Tracks entered the HKSAR Contest, where they competed before a jury comprising experts from academia, industry and investment sectors for accolades including the First Prize, Second Prize and Best Entrepreneurship Award. The COC of the 3Chuang Competition will announce the list of teams who qualified for the National Finals after all provincial-level contests conclude later this month.

The winners of the HKSAR Contest of the 16th 3Chuang Competitionare as follows (the order of the teams winning the same award is arranged according to their names in Chinese):

Founded in 2009, the 3Chuang Competition is a National entrepreneurship competition endorsed by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China. With the aim of fostering among tertiary students an innovative mindset, creative thinking, entrepreneurial capabilities and team collaboration in practical scenarios, it is one of the largest and most influential innovation and entrepreneurship competitions focused on e-commerce for tertiary students in the Nation. The Competition has attracted numerous aspiring student entrepreneurs over the years, and this year alone saw over 280,000 teams from nearly 1,500 universities nationwide sign up. In addition to launching the HKSAR Contest for the first time, an International Track has been introduced to deepen international cooperation, boost regional economic development, facilitate cultural and academic exchanges, and promote balanced development of e-commerce worldwide.

• With €5.8 billion in annual business volume, more than 12,000 employees and operations in over 190 countries, Redion is the world’s #1 in employee benefits and #2 in assistance and travel insurance
• In Asia, where we have presence in Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, Redion is bringing clarity and consistency across the travel protection solutions, supported by its global scale and 24/7 traveler support

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 June 2026 – On Monday 15 June, Generali Group revealed Redion: a new brand for its global Care platform, which brings together the activities of Europ Assistance and Generali Employee Benefits (GEB) under a single identity and offering. Having operated as an integrated entity within Generali Care for nearly three years, Redion is the brand Generali Care deserves — one that honours the extraordinary work already accomplished and makes visible, to the world, what clients and partners have experienced for years. Antoine Parisi, current CEO of Generali CARE Hub, will lead Redion as group CEO.

With more than 12,000 employees, operations in over 190 countries and €5.8 billion in annual business volume (FY 2025), Redion is the world’s #1 in employee benefits — following the acquisition of Swiss Life Network earlier in 2026 — and the world’s #2 in assistance and travel insurance. The platform serves multinational corporations, global travel companies, financial institutions and their end-customers, delivering services spanning travel insurance, emergency and medical assistance, employee protection (life, disability, accident, medical), health and mobility solutions — as well as global B2B2C programmes and embedded insurance for financial institutions, travel platforms and multinational employers.

Giulio Terzariol, Group Deputy CEO of Generali, said: “Redion is the expression of what Generali Care has already become: a global, integrated platform, purpose-built to deliver comprehensive Care across every dimension of people’s lives. Fully aligned with our “Lifetime Partner 27: Driving Excellence” strategy and our ambition to lead in protection, health and accident, Redion embodies a simple, immediate and consistent standard of Care, bringing together complementary capabilities in prevention, insurance and assistance in one seamless, global proposition.”

Jean-Laurent Granier, CEO of Generali France & Global Business Activities and Chairman of Redion, said: “I sit in three seats at this table — as Chairman of Redion, as a network partner through GEB, and as a client on the assistance side. From all three, my reading is the same: for some time now, the reality of this organisation has been well ahead of the brand carrying it. The quality, the global reach, the genuine depth of expertise — that is already real, already experienced by our partners and clients every day. Today we simply give it the brand it deserves.”

A brand that reflects a platform already at full scale

Redion is built on the complementary depth of two industry leaders. Europ Assistance, the creator of the global assistance industry now over 60 years ago, has expanded its expertise over time into travel insurance, roadside assistance and personal services. GEB, established in 1966, is the global platform dedicated to the human capital of multinational corporations and, following the acquisition of Swiss Life Network earlier in 2026, the undisputed worldwide leader in employee benefits. Under Redion, these two bodies of expertise are fully unified: one data strategy, pooled AI investment and a single elevated standard across technology and operations — available to every client and partner, across every market.

For existing clients and partners, there is complete continuity. Contracts, service teams, phone numbers and SLAs remain unchanged. The brand is new; the commitment is the same one that has been in place for decades.

Antoine Parisi, Global CEO of Redion, said: “Redion reflects the determination of our teams to deliver an enhanced, integrated and technology-enabled proposition for clients and partners worldwide. One brand means one data strategy, pooled AI investment and a single, elevated standard across our technology platform. The Redion name carries no geographic or sectoral ceiling. But what I want people to understand is that behind the technology stands a network of tens of thousands of doctors, nurses, roadside technicians and local experts who show up in person when it matters most. We are digital-first — and human always. Any client, anywhere can choose to be served entirely by people. That is what always ready, always on truly means.”

Technology and AI at the heart of the platform

Redion places technology, data and artificial intelligence at the centre of its development — with a dual objective: to significantly improve the speed and quality of services, and to deliver smoother, more personalised experiences. The platform is building its own technological solutions to transform the Care experience in depth, complementing the human expertise and partner networks that have always been at its core. In every critical situation — from medical repatriation to workplace injury — AI supports human decision- making; it does not replace it.

Built on two operating values — Excellence and being Easy to work with — Redion embodies Generali Group’s ambition to be the world’s premier Care partner. That means being Caring, Collaborative, Agile, Reliable and Expert in every interaction, for every client, in every country.

Strengthening local presence and long-term investment in Asia

Redion is bringing greater clarity and consistency across the Asian markets in which it operates, notably Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. These markets represent key growth priorities, supported by strong local teams and leadership.

Since entering these markets, the Group has reinforced its travel solutions, supported by more than 350 local employees.

The rebrand reflects Redion’s commitment to local decision-making across the full travel protection value chain, combined with global scale and 24/7 care for travelers. It also simplifies regional engagement for both current and prospective partners.

Hassen Bennour, CEO of Redion for Asia Pacific (APAC) said:
“Redion marks an important step for our region. The new name reflects our international footprint, with 45% of revenue generated outside Europe, and supports our growth ambition in the Asia market and the broader APAC region. As Redion comes together under one global identity, we will deliver a more unified experience for travellers across our region and beyond.”

協助市民了解脫髮成因及合適跟進方向

香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年6月15日 – 醫家有藥宣布推出脫髮線上醫生諮詢支援，為關注掉髮、髮線後移、頭頂稀疏或髮量下降的人士，提供私密、便捷及具結構的醫療評估流程。服務涵蓋線上資料提交、醫生評估、脫髮成因分析、相關成分資訊，以及在合適情況下安排後續支援、藥物建議、配送或跟進。

強化線上評估流程，支援不同脫髮情況

脫髮問題近年愈來愈早受到都市人關注。部分人士在出現掉髮增加或髮量變薄時，會先自行選用防脫髮洗頭水、生髮精華、補充品或網上推介產品。不過，脫髮成因並不單一，可能與遺傳、荷爾蒙變化、壓力、睡眠不足、營養狀況、頭皮問題、疾病或藥物影響等因素有關。

醫家有藥的線上諮詢流程旨在協助有需要人士先整理相關健康資料，包括掉髮持續時間、脫髮位置、家族脫髮史、近期身體狀況、生活習慣及曾使用的產品等，再由醫生按個別情況作出評估。相關流程有助初步分辨脫髮可能屬於短暫性掉髮、頭皮相關問題，或與遺傳及荷爾蒙因素有關。

遺傳及荷爾蒙因素納入評估考量

男性型脫髮及女性型脫髮較常與遺傳及荷爾蒙因素相關，並不一定只在中年後才出現。常見表現包括前額髮線逐步後移、頭頂髮量變薄、頭髮變幼，或女性頭頂分界位置逐漸變闊。由於這些變化通常並非短時間內發生，早期情況有機會被誤以為只是壓力、休息不足或洗頭水不適合。

醫家有藥醫療顧問梁建希醫生表示：「脫髮成因可以相當複雜。一般護理產品可有助清潔頭皮或改善頭髮外觀，但若脫髮與遺傳或荷爾蒙因素有關，便需要先了解脫髮類型及潛在成因。結構化評估可協助釐清問題方向，讓後續跟進更具針對性。」

提供具醫學證據背景的成分資訊

醫家有藥的脫髮線上醫生諮詢支援，亦可按評估結果提供與常見脫髮成分相關的醫療資訊。以雄激素性脫髮為例，現時較常被醫學文獻提及、並具監管批准背景的相關成分包括 finasteride（非那雄胺）及 topical minoxidil（外用米諾地爾）。前者常見於 Propecia 保康絲、 Damocare 韓保等處方藥物，後者則常見於 Regro 密絲高、Rogaine 倍健等外用產品。

不同成分的適用人士、使用方式及潛在風險並不相同。處方藥物尤其應先經醫生評估，再按個別情況考慮是否適合使用。醫家有藥表示，平台服務重點在於提供合適醫療資訊及評估支援，而非單純根據廣告、網上評價或品牌宣傳選擇產品。

私密線上流程，降低求助門檻

脫髮雖然常見，但對不少人而言仍然較難開口。外觀、自信及私隱考慮，均可能令相關人士延遲尋求醫療意見。醫家有藥的線上流程讓有需要人士可先透過網上提交資料，再由醫生作出評估；如經評估後合適，平台可安排相關支援、藥物建議、配送或後續跟進。

梁建希醫生補充：「脫髮問題不只涉及外觀，也可能影響自信、社交及情緒。醫療支援的目的不是製造焦慮，而是協助有需要人士了解身體訊號，減少單靠網上資訊或廣告自行判斷的情況。」

Service provides medical assessment, ingredient information and delivery arrangements where appropriate

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 June 2026 – FastMed today announced the launch of online consultation support for hair loss concerns, providing a private and structured pathway for medical assessment of increased shedding, a receding hairline, thinning at the crown and reduced hair volume. The service covers online information submission, doctor assessment, review of possible hair loss causes, evidence-informed ingredient information and follow-up arrangements where appropriate.

Structured Online Assessment for Hair Loss Concerns

Hair loss has become an earlier concern among urban adults. Many cases are first managed through over-the-counter shampoos, hair growth serums, supplements or products promoted online. Hair loss, however, may be associated with a range of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, lack of sleep, nutritional status, scalp conditions, underlying illnesses and medication-related effects.

FastMed’s online consultation workflow supports the submission of relevant health information before medical assessment. Information reviewed may include duration of shedding, location of hair thinning, family history of hair loss, recent health status, lifestyle factors and products previously used. The process is designed to support assessment of whether hair loss may be related to temporary shedding, scalp-related concerns, or genetic and hormonal factors.

Genetic and Hormonal Factors Included in Assessment

Male-pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, and female-pattern hair loss are commonly associated with genetic and hormonal factors. These conditions may appear before middle age. Early signs may include a gradually receding frontal hairline, thinning at the crown, finer hair strands or widening of the hair parting. Because these changes often develop gradually, early signs may be mistaken for stress, insufficient rest or unsuitable haircare products.

Dr. Leung Kin Hei, medical adviser to FastMed, said: “Hair loss can involve a range of underlying causes. General haircare products may help cleanse the scalp or improve hair appearance, but hair loss associated with genetic or hormonal factors requires a clearer understanding of hair loss type and possible causes. A structured assessment process can support more appropriate follow-up decisions.”

Evidence-Informed Ingredient Information

FastMed’s online consultation support may also provide medical information on commonly discussed ingredients for hair loss, based on assessment findings. For androgenetic alopecia, ingredients commonly referenced in medical literature and supported by regulatory approval include finasteride and topical minoxidil. Finasteride is the active ingredient in prescription medicines such as Propecia and Damocare, while topical minoxidil is commonly found in external hair growth products such as Regro and Regaine.

Suitability, method of use and potential risks vary across ingredients. Prescription medicines in particular should only be considered following medical assessment. FastMed’s service is designed to support appropriate information provision and assessment-based follow-up, rather than product selection based solely on advertising, online reviews or brand claims.

Online Process Supports Privacy and Convenience

Hair loss is common, but concerns about appearance, confidence and privacy may delay medical support. FastMed’s online process allows information to be submitted through a digital pathway before doctor assessment. Where appropriate following assessment, the platform may arrange relevant support, medication advice, delivery or follow-up.

Dr. Leung added: “Hair loss concerns may affect confidence, social interaction and emotional well-being. Medical support is not intended to create anxiety. A structured assessment process can help clarify possible causes, reduce reliance on unverified online information and support more informed follow-up decisions.”

Topuria officially joined the global 1win VIP Community on June 2, becoming part of the brand’s exclusive project that unites prominent figures from sports, music, and entertainment. Two weeks later, he is set to headline UFC Freedom 250 against Justin Gaethje in a lightweight title unification bout in the White House. The event is already being described as one of the most memorable spectacles in combat sports history.

“It’s not gonna be the biggest in UFC history – it’s gonna be one of the biggest events in sports history,” Topuria said ahead of the fight.

The bout marks the first defense of the lightweight title Topuria captured last year when he knocked out former champion Charles Oliveira to become only the tenth fighter in UFC history to win titles in two different weight classes. Holding a professional record of 17-0-0, “El Matador” Topuria enters the contest looking to further cement his legacy.

Known for his confidence and tireless pursuit of excellence, Topuria believes success is built on preparation rather than chance, a mindset that aligns closely with the philosophy behind the 1win VIP Community.

“Life is a game. Most people sit and hope for luck. I find it inefficient. I prefer control and precision, because when you set your own rules, winning stops being a surprise. If that’s your way of life, you’re welcome at my table with 1win,” stressed Topuria upon joining the 1win VIP community.

The fighter has repeatedly demonstrated confidence ahead of his clash with Gaethje, emphasizing his discipline, hard work, and dedication.

Ilia Topuria joins a growing roster of internationally recognized athletes and entertainers engaging with 1win, including 1win VIP member, rapper Tyga, and brand ambassadors and UFC fighters Jon Jones, Gable Steveson, and Ignacio Bahamondes.
