  • Vietnam: The New Destination for Billion-Dollar Events

    Vietnam: The New Destination for Billion-Dollar Events

    The convergence of progressive policies and large-scale infrastructure developed by Vingroup is positioning Vietnam as a rising hub for the global events and experience economy.

    HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 May 2026 – Across the Asia-Pacific region, the experience economy is undergoing a major shift. In many established destinations, rising venue and accommodation costs are forcing 73% of event organizers to tighten budgets, according to Mordor Intelligence. At the same time, political uncertainties in several markets are prompting international investors to take a more cautious approach toward long-term commitments.

    Vietnam Exposition Center (VEC) will be the destination for international exhibitions and world-class outdoor events in Vietnam.
    Vietnam Exposition Center (VEC) will be the destination for international exhibitions and world-class outdoor events in Vietnam.

    Against this backdrop, Vietnam is increasingly drawing attention as a new destination for global exhibitions, live entertainment, and large-scale experiential events. Political stability, sustained economic growth, a young population with rising spending power, and coordinated efforts from both the government and the private sector are contributing to the country’s growing appeal.

    This is “a golden opportunity” for Vietnam’s cultural industries, said Dr. Cấn Văn Lực, Chief Economist at BIDV, during the 2026 Exhibition, Event and Advertising Summit held at the Vietnam Exposition Center (VEC) on May 8.

    According to Dr. Lực, Vietnam has maintained an average annual growth rate of 6.4% over four decades of the Doi Moi economic reform without experiencing a major economic crisis. Per capita income has now surpassed USD 5,000 and is projected to reach USD 8,500 by 2030, fueling demand for entertainment, sports, and live events.

    Vietnam’s growing profile is also reflected in its position among the world’s Top 20 trading economies, Top 15 destinations for foreign direct investment, and its 29-place rise in the Index of Economic Freedom. These macroeconomic advantages are increasingly translating into tangible momentum for the country’s event industry.

    Vietnam’s MICE sector is currently valued at approximately USD 6 billion, while the advertising market has reached USD 3.5 billion. The live entertainment industry alone has generated more than USD 50 million in revenue, supported by over 700 large-scale events annually and more than USD 1 billion in economic spillover from international visitors, according to data presented at the summit.

    Much of this momentum is being driven by parallel advances in policy reform and infrastructure development.

    Policy Reforms Open New Opportunities

    As Vietnam enters a new phase of development, culture is increasingly being positioned as a strategic growth driver.

    “Culture is not only the spiritual foundation of society, but is increasingly becoming an intrinsic resource, a development driver, and a source of national soft power,” Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Lâm Thị Phương Thanh said at the summit.

    Earlier this year, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 80 on the development of Vietnamese culture, setting targets for cultural industries to contribute 7% of GDP by 2030 and 9% by 2045. The National Assembly also passed Resolution No. 28/2026/QH16, widely viewed as a significant step toward easing restrictions in the cultural, exhibition, and performance sectors by reducing barriers related to taxation, land access, and administrative procedures.

    Key measures include a commitment to allocate at least 2% of the annual state budget to culture, establish a cultural venture investment fund, reduce VAT to 5%, and introduce tax incentives for exhibitions, performances, and sports-related activities. Policies encouraging the development of creative complexes with dedicated land and infrastructure incentives are also expected to accelerate industry growth.

    If policy reforms are laying the groundwork, infrastructure is becoming the decisive factor in Vietnam’s ability to compete for international mega-events.

    “You cannot attract ministers, government representatives, or the world’s 5,000 largest corporations by chance. They come because of deliberate planning and infrastructure development,” said Geoff Dickinson, CEO of dmg events, one of the world’s leading energy event organizers.

    Infrastructure Scales Up

    The rapid development of Vietnam’s event industry is increasingly being shaped by major private-sector investments.

    Among the most prominent projects is the Vietnam Exposition Center (VEC) in Hanoi, developed by Vingroup. Covering 900,000 square meters, VEC has been positioned as one of Southeast Asia’s largest all-in-one exposition and event complexes.

    Vingroup’s world-class organization and operational excellence have already been proven through legendary mega-events, most notably bringing G-Dragon’s “Übermensch” World Tour to Vietnam under the 8Wonder brand. Leveraging this proven expertise, VEC is designed to seamlessly execute the next generation of large-scale activations. Looking ahead, this operational blueprint will further expand across the Vingroup ecosystem, notably with the upcoming VEC Can Gio project in Ho Chi Minh City, the Blue Wave Theater—a 60,000-capacity venue set to become the largest in Southeast Asia.

    Jason Yan, Partner at M Square Capital, the investment fund behind the Ultra Worldwide EDM festival franchise, said VEC’s physical infrastructure and operational model meet the requirements for hosting global-scale productions.

    “We are no longer only looking at festival organization. Success in this industry also depends on artist management and venue operations. Vingroup has clearly invested in building those capabilities,” he said.

    Further ahead, the group is investing in mega-projects designed to elevate Vietnam’s position in the global event infrastructure landscape. These include the planned Hùng Vương Stadium, expected to open in 2028 with a capacity of 135,000 seats and designed to meet FIFA and international entertainment standards.

    Another project, the 60,000-seat PVF Stadium, will feature a PTFE retractable roof capable of opening and closing within 12 to 20 minutes, addressing weather-related challenges for outdoor concerts and sporting events.

    Beyond venue development, Vingroup has also assembled a broader ecosystem supporting the event industry.

    Green SM operates more than 186,000 electric taxis and motorbikes across 34 provinces and four countries, helping support transportation and logistics for large-scale events and international delegations.

    Vinpearl provides more than 16,100 hotel rooms and villas across major tourism and economic centers, alongside golf courses and VinWonders entertainment complexes, contributing integrated hospitality capacity for large events.

    The ecosystem is further complemented by V-Spirit, an international event organizer; V-Culture Talent, a talent development organization; and VinPalace, a network of convention and culinary centers.

    Together, policy reforms, private capital, and large-scale infrastructure investments are creating conditions that could significantly reshape Vietnam’s role in the global events industry.

    “We believe this is Vietnam’s moment,” Dickinson said. “The combination of national ambition and world-class infrastructure has the potential to transform the country into a major destination for global events.”

  • 香港中文大學社會科學院「大學可持續發展指數」發布

    香港中文大學社會科學院「大學可持續發展指數」發布

    亞洲多間院校表現亮眼 3所香港院校躋身全球前20名 全球大學落實社會責任仍有提升空間

    香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年5月28日 – 隨著可持續發展議題受到廣泛關注,社會各界對大學履行社會責任的期望亦與日俱增。「院校社會責任與可持續發展」已被列為教資會《大學問責協議》的主要表現指標之一,反映高等教育機構在推動可持續發展上的角色,備受各界重視。香港中文大學社會科學院致力推動大學的可持續發展,由中大社科院主導,並由中大公共政策研究中心及商業可持續發展中心負責執行,是次發布全港首個有系統的全球「大學可持續發展指數」(University Sustainability Index,研究由中大公共政策研究中心主任盧永鴻教授帶領,對全球151所大學的社會責任及可持續發展表現進行全面評估,希望藉此推動大學持續改進大學社會責任的實踐。

    大學社會責任的推動雖以歐美起步較早,但亞洲院校在是次評估中相對突出,躋身「全球前20名」的院校中有近半數來自亞洲,當中3所來自香港。整體而言,全球大學的評分於「實踐」及「影響」層面較弱,反映大學在落實社會責任仍在發展階段。

    推動高等院校從理論走向實踐 量化大學可持續發展的社會責任

    「大學可持續發展指數」旨在推動高等院校將大學社會責任納入可持續發展的核心管理模式,透過建立可供區域與國際參考的基準體系,支援各院校持續優化實踐,提升相關資訊透明度,同時追蹤及表彰在可持續發展方面表現卓越的院校,希望能將理論轉化為實踐,破除外界對學術界的象牙塔印象,架設大學與社會之間的橋樑。

    盧教授表示:「這項研究的價值,破除外界對學術界的離地印象,架設大學與社會之間的橋樑,將抽象的學術理論轉化為具體的社會實踐。透過我們建立的評估模型,量化並明確定義大學在純學術研究之外對社會可持續發展的實質貢獻,讓高等教育機構更清楚地了解如何具體投入社會變革,更能為政策制定者提供客觀的數據參考。」

    研究團隊以高等院校社會責任領域的持續研究為基礎,於2016至2022年間進行系列初步評估,並於2023年發布首個大中華區「大學可持續發展指數」,是次更將評估範圍擴展至全球及亞太地區。研究團隊採用建基於大學社會責任表現的「價值—過程—影響」(Value-Process-Impact,簡稱VPI)框架作為評估模型,以數據量化全球151所院校# 在學生、員工、社區、環境、政府/資助機構、同儕院校及供應商等七個主要持份者範疇的大學社會責任實踐,全面衡量各院校的可持續發展表現。指數整合院校公開發布的年報及可持續發展相關資料,並邀請受評院校填寫問卷,由第三方機構SGSHK抽樣核實評估。*

    #三個子指數合共涵蓋151所院校,部分院校同時納入多於一個子指數

    *有關指數調查方法,請參考附錄

    「大學可持續發展指數」共設三個地域指數,評估對象篩選標準如下:

    • 全球大學可持續發展指數:選自2024年QS世界大學排名前150強中的113所高校,入選前提是具備英文或中文的大學社會責任、可持續發展目標及可持續性公開數據
    • 亞太區大學可持續發展指數:涵蓋 58所環太平洋大學協會(APRU)成員院校
    • 大中華區大學可持續發展指數:涵蓋30所院校,包括香港8所教資會資助院校

    全球大學價值與管理層面表現理想 實踐與影響力仍有提升空間

    2025年度結果顯示,在VPI框架#各層面中,「價值」層面分數最高,其次為「管理」,而「實踐」及「影響」分數則相對偏低。從地區比較來看,大洋洲院校整體分數最高,歐洲緊隨其後,躋身「全球前20名」的院校中,更有近半數來自亞洲,當中3所為香港院校。

    #VPI框架下,「過程(Process)」層面分為「管理(Management)」與「實踐(Practice)」兩個細項

    盧教授指出:「大學社會責任最先是由歐洲及美洲開始推動的,然而是次評估的結果顯示,亞洲雖然推動大學社會責任起步不及歐美早,但現階段投入的程度與表現提升不少,甚至名列前茅,反映亞洲高等教育界對可持續發展的重視及積極實踐。」

    研究結果亦指出,全球大學在「實踐」及「影響」的層面表現較弱,反映大學在落實社會責任仍在持續發展階段,但各層面已見規律和側重。在「實踐」層面,「學生」與「環境」是大學最為重視的持份者,而在「影響」層面,無論是全球、亞太區還是大中華區,各院校普遍最重視「同儕院校」。盧教授認為,不應只以學術研究表現評定大學的價值,大學亦應給予各類持份者應有的關注與責任,才能進一步推動社會可持續發展。

    凝聚各方學者 建構大學可持續發展的國際網絡

    盧教授表示,香港院校如能加強「實踐」及「影響」層面的推動,整體表現有望進一步提升。研究團隊考慮與教資會及相關政府部門分享指數結果,並提出以實證為本的建議,促進本港大學可持續發展,為社會進步作出具影響性的貢獻。

    研究團隊設有國際顧問委員會,成員涵蓋亞太、歐洲、北美洲等地多位資深學者,職能包括對研究方法、數據及結論進行審核並提出改進建議,同時擔任研究團隊與各院校持份者之間的橋樑,協助聯繫可持續發展部門參與數據收集。成員亦會定期出席委員會會議及相關活動,協助撰寫研究報告,並透過各自所屬機構推廣「大學可持續發展指數」,提升其國際影響力。

    「大學可持續發展指數」將會每年更新,持續追蹤各院校在可持續發展各層面的進展,研究團隊將於今年下半年舉辦首屆有關大學社會責任及可持續發展的論壇,邀請相關持份者,透過主題演講及研討會等形式分享實踐經驗及研究發現,亦會邀請受評院校的代表出席,希望推動高等教育界的可持續發展交流與協作。

    透過跨地域的學術網絡,研究團隊不僅推動全球大學更積極地履行社會責任,更明確量化大學在學術研究之外對社會進步的實質貢獻。盧教授期望,項目能幫助大學清晰定位其在可持續發展中的角色,同時為政策制定者提供客觀數據,推動高等教育機構成為社會變革的驅動力,從而惠及社會大眾。

    “Building on AECOM’s long-standing contribution to Hong Kong’s airport development and our partnership with AAHK since the 1990s, we helped deliver a world-class terminal that enhances connectivity and strengthens resilience, setting new benchmarks for aviation in a changing world,” said Dr. Johnny Cheuk, AECOM’s Hong Kong executive leader.

    AECOM’s multi-disciplinary team brought together expertise in mega project management, engineering and passenger terminal design to deliver innovative, buildable solutions through phased construction, minimizing disruption within a live airport environment. A signature feature of T2 is its 63,000 m² ‘Feather Roof,’ supported by tree-like columns, combining architectural expression with operational performance. Leveraging multiple digital solutions such as BIM and Tekla, alongside phased modular construction significantly enhanced the precision, safety and delivery efficiency of this iconic roof structure.

    Supporting HKIA’s pledge to become the world’s greenest airport, sustainability is embedded throughout the project. Key measures include implementing a high-performance façade that enhances thermal efficiency, natural daylighting and acoustic comfort. AECOM also helped define embodied carbon quantification standards at the outset of this project more than a decade ago. These are complemented by energy-efficient building services that reduce overall energy consumption, contributing to the award of BEAM Plus Provisional Platinum rating — the highest qualification level recognized by the Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC).

    BUSINESS REVIEW

    Mortgage loan business

    In FY2026, the economy entered a phase of gradual recovery, leading to a steady resurgence in financing demand. The revenue from the mortgage loan business was approximately HK$65.8 million and accounted for approximately 40.0% of the Group’s total revenue during the year. The gross mortgage loan receivables were approximately HK$612.5 million as at 28 February 2026. During the year, net interest margin of the mortgage loan business was approximately 10.1%.

    In FY2026, the Group maintained a disciplined and risk-sensitive approach in its lending activities. While we observed an encouraging stabilization in the residential property market, the Group exercised intensified vigilance toward the commercial and industrial sectors due to persistent supply overhangs and valuation pressures. Our underwriting strategy remained focused on building a resilient loan portfolio by prioritizing high-quality collaterals and prudent loan-to-value ratios. During the year, the average loan-to-value ratio for first mortgage was approximately 56.27%, while overall average loan-to-value ratio for subordinate mortgage was approximately 40.82% of which, average loan-to-value ratio of subordinate mortgage that the Group participated in was approximately 3.73%.

    Reflecting our robust credit risk management, the charge for impairment losses recognized on loan receivables decreased from approximately HK$46.3 million to approximately HK$12.7 million, representing a decrease of approximately 72.6% or HK$33.6 million.

    Pawn Loan Business

    The revenue from the pawn loan business increased by approximately 12.9% to approximately HK$98.6 million in FY2026. The business’s profitability was further bolstered by a significant 73.0% increase in the gain on disposal of repossessed assets, which reached approximately HK$19.2 million as compared to approximately HK$11.1 million in FY2025. This performance was mainly attributed to the unprecedented strength of gold prices and a highly active secondary market for luxuries, particularly high-end timepieces. These factors have further solidified the pawn loan business as a resilient and strategic hedge against broader economic volatility.

    During the year, the Group continued to channel resources to advertising and promotion to enhance the Group’s brand exposure. Such effort has generated demand for one-to-one pawn loan appointment services for pawn loans exceeding HK$0.1 million.

    PROSPECTS

    Looking ahead, the Group maintains a stance of cautious optimism regarding the global economic recovery. While macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties may persist, we remain dedicated to a proactive yet prudent strategy to ensure sustainable long-term growth and maximize returns for our shareholders.

    Within the mortgage loan market, our strategy will be characterized by a calibrated and divergent approach. We continue to hold an optimistic outlook on the residential property segment, where we intend to capitalize on the stabilizing interest rate environment by identifying high-quality mortgage opportunities. Conversely, we maintain cautious and vigilant towards the commercial and industrial sectors. Given the structural challenges of inventory overhang and the increasing prevalence of distressed assets, the Group will exercise intensified oversight in its credit underwriting and collateral appraisal to mitigate valuation risks.

    Regarding our core operations, we anticipate our pawn loan business to remain resilient, supported by a firm gold price trajectory and sustained demand for liquidity management. To further enhance operational efficiency, the Group is actively optimizing its pawn shop network. We are strategically identifying more cost-effective locations within our established service areas, aiming to relocate our pawn outlets to premises with more competitive lease terms to reduce operating overheads while maintaining our leading market presence.

    Simultaneously, our strategic partnership with PACM Group remains a key driver for geographic diversification. By proactively exploring institutional credit opportunities in developed markets while maintaining rigorous investment oversight, the Group is well-positioned to navigate evolving industry dynamics and deliver stable value to all stakeholders.

    Mr. Edward Chan, Chairman and CEO of the Company, said, “Global geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties intertwine, placing pressure on the global economic recovery and posing ongoing challenges to the local property market. In the face of a complex external environment, Oi Wah has consistently adhered to a proactive yet prudent management strategy. Our core pawn loan business has fully demonstrated its role as a strategic tool to hedge against macroeconomic fluctuations, showcasing the Group’s strong resilience amidst market challenges.

    Looking forward, we will adopt a carefully calibrated differentiation strategy and continue to drive regional diversification. Under strict investment monitoring, we will actively explore business opportunities in developed markets to further expand our revenue streams and customer base, striving to deliver long-term, stable, and sustainable returns for our shareholders.”

    業務回顧

    按揭抵押貸款業務

    於2026年財政年度,宏觀經濟已進入逐步復甦階段,融資需求隨之穩步回升。集團年內按揭抵押貸款業務錄得收益約65.8百萬港元,而應收按揭抵押貸款總額約為612.5百萬港元。年內,按揭抵押貸款業務的淨息差約為10.1%。

    年內,集團於放款活動方面繼續保持嚴謹及審慎風險導向的策略。雖然住宅物業市場已出現令人鼓舞的回穩跡象,本集團鑑於工商物業供應持續過剩及估值壓力,對該等板塊維持高度警惕。我們的審批策略持續聚焦建構具韌性的貸款組合,優先選擇高質素抵押品及審慎的貸款對估值比率。於2026年財政年度,第一按揭之平均貸款對估值比率約為56.27%,而次級按揭之平均整體貸款對估值比率則約為40.82%,其中集團經手之次級按揭之平均貸款對估值比率約為3.73%。

    應收貸款減值虧損撥備由2025年財政年度約46.3百萬港元,減至2026年財政年度約12.7百萬港元,按年減少約72.6%,反映集團穩健的信貸風險管理。

    典當貸款業務

    於2026年財政年度,典當貸款業務的收益增加約12.9%至約為98.6百萬港元。年內,盈利能力進一步得益於出售經收回資產之收益由2025年財政年度約11.1百萬港元,大幅增加約73.0%至約19.2百萬港元。上述表現主要受惠於金價屢創新高,以及二手奢侈品市場(尤其是高端鐘錶)交投活躍,進一步鞏固典當貸款業務作為對沖宏觀經濟波動的穩健、策略性工具的地位。

    年內,集團繼續投放資源於廣告及宣傳,以提升品牌曝光度,成功帶動對貸款額超過100,000港元的一對一典當貸款預約服務的需求。

    前景

    展望未來,本集團對環球經濟復甦抱持審慎樂觀態度。儘管宏觀經濟及地緣政治不確定性或將持續存在,我們仍將堅守積極而審慎的經營策略,確保長遠持續增長,並為股東爭取最大回報。 在按揭抵押貸款市場方面,我們將採取經審慎校準的差異化策略。本集團認為住宅物業板塊前景較為樂觀,並擬把握利率環境趨穩的契機,積極物色優質按揭抵押貸款機遇。相反,我們對工商物業板塊則維持審慎及警惕的取態。鑑於存貨供應結構性過剩及不良資產比例上升等挑戰,本集團於信貸審批及抵押品評估方面將實施更嚴格的監控,以減緩估值風險。

    就核心業務而言,我們預計在金價走勢堅穩及流動資金管理需求持續的支持下,典當貸款業務將繼續保持韌性。為進一步提升營運效率,本集團正積極優化當舖分行網絡,有策略地在既有服務區域內物色更具成本效益的選址,以將現有當舖分行遷往租賃條款更有競爭力的物業,藉此在維持市場領先地位之餘降低營運開支。

    集團主席、行政總裁兼執行董事陳啟豪先生表示:「當前全球地緣政治與宏觀經濟不確定性交織,環球經濟復甦面臨一定壓力,亦為本地物業市場前景帶來持續挑戰。面對複雜的外圍環境,靄華始終堅守積極而審慎的經營策略,核心典當業務在此市況下,充分發揮了對沖宏觀經濟波動的策略性工具角色,令集團在考驗中展現出強大的發展韌性。展望未來,我們將採取經審慎校準的差異化策略,持續推動地域多元化策略,在嚴格的投資監控下,積極於已發展市場探索商機,多元化拓展收入來源及客戶群,努力為股東創造長遠而穩健的回報。」

  • CGTN: China and Serbia Call for Strengthened Artistic Exchanges and Deeper Friendship

    CGTN: China and Serbia Call for Strengthened Artistic Exchanges and Deeper Friendship

    BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 May 2026 – CGTN published an article highlighting cultural and artistic exchange as a booster in strengthening China-Serbia friendship. It underscores the effort by Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, in fostering artistic and cultural exchanges, while offering a broader view of the cultural and artistic activities in the two countries that serve to foster mutual understanding between the people of the two countries.

    photo.png

    Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Tamara Vucic, wife of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, visited Beijing Dance Academy on Monday.

    In the dance studios, they observed with keen interest the teaching of Chinese dance, ballet and other dances. They then watched the students’ performances and had cordial exchanges with teachers and students in a lively and warm atmosphere.

    Watching ballet practice and Chinese dance rehearsals, Peng said that dance art transcends national borders, conveys cultures and ideas, and plays a unique role in people-to-people exchanges and mutual learning.

    Peng expressed hope that artists from both countries would strengthen exchanges and cooperation to create more outstanding works. Tamara Vucic also voiced her willingness to promote cultural and artistic exchanges between the two countries and contribute to the deepening of Serbia-China friendship.

    Art as a bridge of China-Serbia friendship

    The exchange of arts has consistently played an important role throughout the history of China and Serbia’s friendship.

    At the invitation of Tamara Vucic, Peng visited the National Museum of Serbia in 2024, the largest and oldest museum in the country. Peng and Tamara Vucic toured the museum’s painting exhibition together, watched demonstrations of traditional Serbian women’s hand weaving, and even tried making felt balls – souvenirs made of felt wool – which preserve the traditional and cultural heritage of Serbia.

    During the visit, Peng repeatedly expressed appreciation for Serbian art and crafts, praising the exquisite and distinctive craftsmanship while noting the cultural heritage they carry. She expressed hope that cultural exchanges and cooperation between China and Serbia would be enhanced, in order to build bridges for dialogue among civilizations.

    Cultural and artistic exchanges have long been an integral part of relations between the two countries.

    In 1955, Kolo, Serbia’s national ensemble, made its first visit to China, marking the beginning of a long-lasting friendship that has persisted to the present day.

    In a photo exhibition that marks the 70th anniversary of the first China tour by Kolo in 2025, former Secretary of State for the Ministry of Culture of Serbia Lav Pajkic said cultural cooperation is an important component of Serbia-China relations.

    Over the past 70 years, the civilizations of Serbia and China have appreciated one another and engaged in exchanges and mutual learning, once again reaffirming the ironclad friendship between the two countries, he added.

    Cultural exchange boosts a shared future and common prosperity

    Cultural exchanges in recent years have bloomed as China and Serbia’s strategic partnership continues to reach new heights.

    In Chinese President Xi Jinping’s talks with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Xi emphasized that China and Serbia need to fully expand cooperation in culture, education, sports and tourism and at the subnational level, so as to carry forward the traditional friendship between the Chinese and Serbian peoples.

    In 2024, Beijing People’s Art Theatre traveled to Belgrade to perform Our Jing Ke, a drama performance written by Nobel Prize Laureate Mo Yan, to show the Serbian people the artistic style and aesthetic expressions of Chinese performance arts. In January 2026, an exhibition showcasing China’s renowned Dehua porcelain opened in Belgrade, providing a window into traditional Chinese craftsmanship. In April, the Confucius Classroom at the Philological High School celebrated International Chinese Language Day by singing popular Chinese songs, practicing tai chi, and reciting their favorite passages of The Analects of Confucius.

    These activities and art exhibitions have become important platforms and channels for China and Serbia to learn about each other.

    According to a joint statement released after Xi and Vucic’s talks, the two countries will strive to open a new chapter in people-to-people exchanges and cultural integration. As a Serbian proverb goes, “Prijatelj je plod vremena” (friends are the fruits of time).

  • 醫克生物科學家團隊進駐國創中心國際總部的 愛滋病治療性疫苗臨床研究關鍵技術創新中心

    醫克生物科學家團隊進駐國創中心國際總部的 愛滋病治療性疫苗臨床研究關鍵技術創新中心

    朝向ICVAX®的成功再邁出重要的一步

    香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年5月27日 – 總部位於香港科學園的醫克生物集團(「醫克生物」)欣然宣佈,粵港澳大灣區國家技術創新中心國際總部(「國際總部」)的愛滋病治療性疫苗臨床研究關鍵技術創新中心(「創新中心」)正式落成並啟用揭牌,中心的目標是關於醫克生物的愛滋病治療性疫苗(「ICVAX®」)臨床研究及商業化關鍵技術的研發及應用,ICVAX®的目標是在無需服用抗逆轉錄病毒療法(「ART」)的情況下達到功能性治癒愛滋病毒感染。 此項目獲得香港大學李嘉誠醫學院愛滋病研究所創始所長陳志偉教授及深圳市第三人民醫院盧洪洲院長擔任顧問合作開展。

    【由左至右】:國際總部副主任曹騰飛博士,醫克生物企業融資總監兼聯合創始人劉高原先生,深圳清華大學研究院常務副院長、國際總部主任劉仁辰博士,醫克生物行政總裁兼聯合創始人金俠博士,醫克生物首席科學顧問兼聯合創始人陳志偉教授,醫克生物董事會主席兼聯合創始人鄭淇德醫生

    國際總部坐落在河套深港科技創新合作區(「河套合作區」),是廣東省、深圳市和清華大學聯合部署的國家級綜合領域成果轉化平台,致力於打造具備全球視野、國際領先的重大技術創新及產業化平台。 其緊扣國家重大戰略需求,聚焦生物醫藥、高性能材料、人工智慧等關鍵賽道, 彙聚全球創新資源、聯動行業龍頭企業,開展有組織科研與成果轉化。

    自1981年首次發現愛滋病以來,已有4,080萬人因愛滋病病毒感染而死亡。 目前,全球仍有超過4,410萬名愛滋病毒感染者。 雖然ART可以有效控制愛滋病毒,但仍然無法根治此病,並凸顯了免疫療法的重要性。 免疫療法旨在增強宿主的免疫反應,期望能在無需ART的情況下控制病毒複製,最終實現病毒的完全抑制,達到功能性治癒的效果。 醫克生物自主研發的創新型愛滋病治療性核酸藥物ICVAX®,能誘導具有廣譜、多功能的病毒特異性T細胞,以在無需服用ART的情況下實現功能性治癒愛滋病毒感染的目標。

    醫克生物於2024年11月完成ICVAX® 藥物的首次人體一期臨床試驗。 結果顯示,該藥物具有卓越的安全性和良好的免疫原性。 將於2026年第二季度開展兩項多中心二期臨床試驗以評估ICVAX® 藥物在人體中的機理和療效,兩項皆是隨機、雙盲、安慰劑對照的臨床研究,而臨床試驗機構包括香港威爾斯親王醫院,以及國內八所三甲醫院進行,包括深圳市第三人民醫院、首都醫科大學附屬北京地壇醫院、首都醫科大學北京佑安醫院、廣州市第八人民醫院、天津市第二人民醫院、鄭州市第六人民醫院、成都市公共衛生臨床醫療中心和重慶市公共衛生醫療救治中心。

    值得關注的是,在愛滋病藥物臨床試驗中,用於評估免疫學和病毒學指標的規範化檢測體系至關重要。 但國內缺乏針對臨床試驗中感染性樣本的標準操作規程,會阻礙ICVAX® 等新型傳染病療法的臨床開發與監管審批。 作為國際總部的重要一員,創新中心旨在建立符合國際標準的T細胞免疫原性與病毒儲存庫標準化臨床檢測體系,以及發掘與藥物效力相關的核心生物標誌物,填補國內在此領域的技術空白。 並希望通過配合醫克生物的ICVAX® 二期臨床試驗,為臨床試驗樣本檢測中制定標準化臨床精准檢測方法。

    醫克生物集團行政總裁金俠博士表示:「我非常榮幸能被委任去領導此國際總部的技術創新中心重點項目。 同時,我亦非常感謝國際總部為此專案提供現代化、設備齊全的實驗室,以及資金資助支持初期兩年的研發開支。 我堅信,標準化檢測方法的制定不僅能夠提升我們ICVAX® 臨床試驗的品質,最終還將成為愛滋病及其他傳染病藥物臨床轉化領域的行業和國家標準。」

    深圳清華大學研究院常務副院長、國際總部主任劉仁辰博士表示:「熱烈祝賀愛滋病治療性疫苗臨床研究關鍵技術創新中心正式揭牌成立。未來,國際總部會持續發揮平台資源優勢,落實全鏈條孵化服務。專案經理人將貫穿專案全週期開展服務保障,做好資源整合、人才引育、臨床對接、成果轉化等各項工作,為專案穩步推進保駕護航。」

    隨著項目推進,ICVAX® 有望成為首個實現功能性治癒的愛滋病治療性核酸藥物,為全球 4,410 萬名感染者帶來新希望。 同時,專案所構建的標準化檢測平台與協同創新模式,將為其他重大傳染病創新藥物的研發提供可借鑒的範例,進一步強化大灣區生物醫藥產業的國際競爭力,助力國家生物安全與公共衛生體系建設。
