SINGAPORE, Dec 11, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Photon Academy is proud to announce the launch of their leading solutions for Singapore's growing need for evolving IB tuition. As the IB curriculum gains traction in Singapore, Photon Academy (https://ibtuition.sg/) is strategically positioned to meet the rising demand for specialised, high-quality tuition, especially in challenging subjects like Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and Economics.The International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum has seen a surge in popularity across Singapore, with more schools now offering this respected program. For parents, the globally recognised IB program is more than an academic path; it's a gateway to prestigious universities worldwide. However, this growth has highlighted significant gaps in quality IB tuition. Traditional tuition centres often lack the certified expertise required to meet the IB's unique demands, particularly in complex and specialised subjects like Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and IB Economics.Photon Academy, founded by Mr. Ejaz, was established to bridge this gap, providing a comprehensive suite of IB tutoring services tailored to the unique demands of the curriculum. Unlike generic tuition centres, Photon Academy maintains high standards through a rigorous tutor selection process, focusing exclusively on the IB curriculum to provide Singaporean IB students with specialised, results-driven support across all subjects.Photon Academy's journey began with Mr. Ejaz's successful personal brand as an IB Math tutor and IB Physics tutor. Over the years, his consistent track record of helping students achieve top scores made him one of Singapore's most sought-after IB tutors, earning him strong word-of-mouth referrals. As demand grew, families began seeking similar quality support across a wider range of IB subjects.To meet this need, Mr. Ejaz transformed his solo practice into Photon Academy, a full-service IB tuition centre dedicated to all core and niche IB subjects. This expansion was not only a response to demand but a strategic move to maintain quality by building a team of certified IB tutors across all subjects. Photon Academy now serves as a trusted, specialised academic partner for IB students, addressing diverse needs with the same dedication that built Mr. Ejaz's personal brand.Selective admission and tailored learning pathsPhoton Academy's commitment to excellence extends beyond hiring practices to the students it admits. As IB is a challenging curriculum that demands dedication, Photon Academy selectively admits students who demonstrate a drive to succeed and whose parents are committed to supporting their children's academic journey. This approach is not meant to be exclusive but to ensure that both students and families align with the academy's standards for commitment and focus.Photon Academy also offers a trial lesson paired with an initial consultation with parents. During this session, tutors assess the student's current proficiency, evaluate their attitude toward the programme, and provide valuable guidance on subject selection, such as determining which Math level is most suitable for the student's abilities and goals. This comprehensive evaluation establishes a good fit for both sides, setting a strong foundation for personalised, results-driven learning. Photon Academy's tailored approach ensures that students receive support aligned with their specific school's IB teaching methods and academic challenges.Unique offerings for niche and core IB subjectsMany IB students often face unique challenges in subjects like Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and IB Economics, which require advanced critical thinking and analytical skills. Photon Academy addresses these needs by offering structured, insightful tutoring designed to help students excel in complex areas. For example, in TOK - a subject focused on exploring and analysing the nature of knowledge itself - Photon Academy's certified tutors guide students through essay writing and presentations, ensuring they build the skills essential for achieving high scores.Similarly, IB Economics at Photon Academy goes beyond the basics, focusing on critical analysis, economic theories, and real-world application. Tutors familiar with IB-specific exam styles offer tailored resources and strategies, enabling students to master complex economic frameworks and tackle challenging IB exam questions with confidence.Photon Academy stays fully immersed in the IB's evolving curriculum, adapting its instruction as the program undergoes periodic updates - especially in areas like sciences. Supported by an extensive library of IB-specific resources, the academy equips students with the tools needed to master challenging topics and excel in their assessments. This agility allows Photon Academy to maintain the high standards of instruction required for IB's rigorous demands.Looking ahead, Photon Academy plans to introduce a bridging course aimed at preparing students transitioning into the IB program. This initiative addresses foundational gaps early on, enabling students to build the skills they need before fully diving into the IB curriculum. Through these measures, Photon Academy remains committed to evolving with the IB system, continuously expanding its support to meet the diverse needs of Singapore's growing IB student community.Photon Academy has evolved into a trusted educational partner for Singapore's IB students and their families. With a rigorous approach to quality, a selective admission process, and a dedication to staying updated with IB changes, Photon Academy provides specialised tutoring focused on helping students succeed in the demanding IB curriculum.For parents seeking an IB tuition centre that not only understands the evolving curriculum but also offers tailored, high-quality instruction, Photon Academy presents a compelling choice. Interested families are encouraged to schedule a trial lesson and consultation to experience firsthand how Photon Academy can support their child's IB journey. Positioned to support Singapore's growing IB community, Photon Academy remains dedicated to helping students achieve excellence, preparing them not only for exams but for a successful future.

SHENZHEN, CHINA, Dec 9, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On 6 December, China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that the first prescriptions for the innovative drug Lumeblue® (Methylthioninium Chloride Enteric-coated Sustained-release Tablets) (the “Product”) have been issued in China, which marks that the first oral methylthioninium chloride enteric-coated sustained-release tablets in China has officially entered clinical application. The Product is indicated for enhancing visualization of colorectal lesions in adult patients undergoing screening or surveillance colonoscopies.Lumeblue® is an oral diagnostic drug that uses patented multi-matrix (MMXTM) technology to deliver active substances directly to the colon and release them locally in a controlled manner. As an enhancer dye, the Product increases the contrast between colorectal lesions and healthy mucosa. The results of the Phase III clinical trial in China show that the Product can significantly improve the detection rate of non-polypoid colorectal lesions (the primary endpoint of the study), leading to an improved detection rate of dangerous lesions such as non-polypoid adenomas (the secondary endpoint)[1]. In addition, the Product can be taken during the bowel preparation step, ensuring that colorectal staining is completed by the time colonoscopy is conducted. This not only enhances the detection rate of colorectal lesions but also potentially simplifies the colonoscopy procedure, making the examination more efficient and improving the screening benefits.According to the diagnosis and treatment data of the Digestive Endoscopy Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, approximately a total of 28 million gastroenteroscopies were completed nationwide in 2012, including 5.83 million colonoscopies. In 2019, approximately 38.73 million gastroenteroscopies were completed nationwide, an increase of 34.62% compared with 2012[2]. The Expert consensus on the early diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer in China (2023 edition) recommends colorectal cancer screening for individuals aged 40 to 74[3]. Based on the China Statistical Yearbook (2023), the total population of this age group in China is 643.36 million[4]. With the popularization of early colorectal cancer screening in China, the number of colonoscopies performed is expected to have significant growth potential in the future. Early diagnosis and removal of lesions are crucial for prevention. Lumeblue® provides an innovative solution for colorectal disease screening and management in response to this growing demand.The Product has been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to be commercialized in the European Union under the trade name Lumeblue® in August 2020. The Group obtained an exclusive license for the Product from Cosmo Technologies Ltd., a fully-owned subsidiary of Cosmo Pharmaceuticals NV, on 3 December 2020. Following its approval in China in June 2024, CMS worked collaboratively across its business segments to ensure the rapid importation of the first batch of products. The Group has also actively leveraged its existing gastroenterology portfolio and resources to orderly advance the commercialization and academic promotion of Lumeblue®, facilitating its successful prescriptions launch in China.With this milestone, CMS’s five innovative drugs have been successfully approved in China and fully entered clinical application. This achievement demonstrates the Group’s ongoing capability of innovation transformation, while reflecting CMS's commitment to focusing on medical value and fulfilling its corporate social responsibility. Looking ahead, CMS will continue to be patients-centered, efficiently advancing the clinical development and commercialization of innovative products. The Group is dedicated to improving the accessibility and affordability of innovative drugs, benefiting a broader patient population.About CMSCMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.CMS focuses on the global first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) innovative products, and efficiently promotes the clinical research, development and commercialization of innovative products, enabling the continuous transformation of scientific research into clinical practices to benefit patients.CMS deeply engages in several specialty therapeutic fields, and has developed proven commercialization capabilities, extensive networks and expert resources, resulting in leading academic and market positions for its major marketed products.

- BIP Asia Forum welcomed over 3,000 participants- E-Day attracted around 11,800 visits, facilitated over 230 business matching meetings and created business opportunities for participants- IP financing as a growth engine should not be overlooked according to an IP valuation expert at BIP Asia Forum. IP valuers are subjected to professional scrutiny and need to do an inordinate amount of background research in order to put the information into a sensible IP context- Connecting start-ups from across the globe, E-Day reflects Hong Kong's growing role as a global innovation hub. Over the years, Hong Kong has introduced significant policies to support innovation and technology, especially with more proactive measures to drive university research translation and industry-academia collaborationHONG KONG, Dec 8, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The two-day Business of IP Asia Forum (BIP Asia Forum), jointly organised by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government (HKSAR Government) and Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), and held concurrently with Entrepreneur Day (E-Day), hosted by the HKTDC, concluded successfully on Friday 6 December. The two events brought together more than 160 intellectual property (IP) experts and business leaders from around the world to explore the potential of IP, promote business innovation and growth, and drive high-quality economic development. Taking place on 5 and 6 December, BIP Asia Forum and E-Day reinforced Hong Kong’s position as a leading regional IP trading centre and an international innovation and technology hub.The two events featured a mix of forums, exhibitions, competitions, workshops, and business matching meetings. More than 400 exhibitors from various sectors, including IP and innovation and technology, participated in the two events to capture business opportunities and gain insights into the latest IP and innovation trends.This year, BIP Asia Forum welcomed over 3,000 participants, while E-Day attracted around 11,800 visits and facilitated over 230 business matching meetings, creating business opportunities and fostering expansion for participants.This year’s BIP Asia Forum, themed “Reimagining IP for Impact and Growth”, featured a Policy Dialogue on the opening day, where international IP experts and representatives from multinational organisations shared insights on the flourishing and newest developments in the IP world.Cultural and creative IP unleashes huge potentialThe HKSAR’s 2024 Policy Address emphasised strengthening Hong Kong’s position as an IP trading centre, promoting cross-sectoral exchange, and encouraging more local and international cultural and creative products to be registered on the Asia IP Exchange Portal. The HKSAR Government also recently published the Blueprint for Arts and Culture and Creative Industries Development, highlighting the significant potential of cultural and creative IP.The HKTDC continues to be active in promoting cultural and creative IP resources from Hong Kong and overseas to facilitate industry exchange and collaboration. In addition to the annual BIP Asia Forum, the HKTDC leverages physical trading platforms such as the Hong Kong International Licensing Show and the Hong Kong International Film & TV Market to actively promote the development and trading of cultural and creative products, inviting various IP experts to share practical case studies and opportunities.Cultural and creative industries encompass various sectors, including film and television entertainment and music and arts. Jake Hwang, Chief Manager, Story IP Business at Kakao Entertainment Corp, renowned for his experience with popular web novels and comics IP projects such as What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim, Business Proposal, and Run On, shared insights on IP related to popular Korean dramas, webcomics, and web novels at the forum. He said: “In terms of creating original IPs and where we invest our money, we don’t see things in short-term income.  We are trying to see things on a more long-term basis, because we don’t know which IPs will be successful. But we keep trying to produce new IPs every day. We also try to meet with global partners as much as possible. It could be physical productions, over-the-top platforms, or independent producers, just to open potential and discuss freely.”In today’s competitive business landscape, leveraging IP has become essential for driving innovation, building brand value, and creating new revenue streams. Many international brand leaders agree that IP plays a crucial role in developing strategies for sustainable growth and expanding into new areas.  Dr Na Wei, Senior Director of IP Licensing at Xiaomi, believes in the importance of collaboration between different IP owners. “One smartphone may contain more than 200,000 patents. It’s not something that one company can do on its own, so that’s why collaboration is very necessary. We need to work with many other patent owners on acquiring or securing their licenses, and we also license our own patents to them. It’s in that way that these kind of high-density patent products can be made possible.Among the various areas of IP, one area with growth potential is IP financing, where businesses can use their intangible assets as collateral to secure funding without diluting equity. This means that an IP portfolio facilitates access to capital but also enhances a company’s valuation significantly. Martin Brassell, Co-founder and CEO at Inngot Limited said: “As valuers, we have to exercise our professional judgement, subject the inputs that we’re given to professional scrutiny, and do an inordinate amount of background research in order to put the information we’re being given into a sensible, commercial, and, if necessary, IP landscape context. That’s really where the hard yards are.”This year’s Innovation & IP Market, themed “Smart City Innovation”, showcased over 20 innovative projects in areas such as smart city technology, digital business, smart living, artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, and transportation. Xu Song, Deputy Director, Science & Technology Innovation Division of the Authority of Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone of Shenzhen said: “The Business of IP Asia Forum provided an excellent platform for exploring business opportunities and networking. The Authority of Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone of Shenzhen gathered enterprises and institutions in the field of intellectual property and joined the forum. They received enquiries from over 40 renowned IP organisation and technology companies from various countries and regions regarding policies and measures for establishing operations in Qianhai. This helps enterprises in both ‘going global’ and ‘attracting foreign investment’."E-Day promotes exchange and uncovers new opportunitiesThe HKTDC E-Day also concluded on Friday. Themed “Where Start-up Dreams Take Flight”, this year’s E-Day showcased over 340 start-ups, invention projects, and support services from 13 countries and regions, and invited more than 60 industry leaders to participate in business matching meetings and networking events.Hong Kong start-up Lacess Limited participated in E-Day for the first-time, showcasing sustainable footwear made from upcycled farm waste, factory waste, recycled plastic, and other innovative materials. Natalie Chow, CEO & Co-founder of Lacess Limited said: “As a start-up, we know the power of making connections to drive growth. Entrepreneur Day was an incredible opportunity to meet like-minded innovators, exchange ideas, and explore collaborations that could help us expand into new markets. It’s been inspiring to see how global businesses can come together to create meaningful change.The Thailand pavilion, organised by the Department of International Trade Promotion under the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand, participated in E-Day for the first time, showcasing 10 key start-ups from Thailand. Pannakarn Jiamsuchon, Thai Trade Commissioner & Consul (Commercial) said: “HKTDC’s E-Day provided a perfect platform for Thailand to shine. Our participation at E-day not only promoted the Thai start-up sector but also drew global investors into the market, creating a win-win situation for the international business community.”The Australian pavilion, led by Investment New South Wales (NSW), took part in E-Day for the second consecutive year, and showcased nine start-ups specialising in health tech, green tech, smart city solutions and other related technologies. A representative from the Australian pavilion said they wanted to take advantage of E-Day to introduce New South Wales’ start-ups to overseas markets.Start-up Express International leads top start-ups to explore Greater Bay Area opportunitiesNow in its third edition, Start-up Express International continues to support global start-ups in establishing a presence in Hong Kong and expanding into regional markets. The programme is supported by global partners worldwide, and 10 winning global start-ups were selected last month. The winning start-ups attended the “Start-up Express International – Meet the Global Winners” session during E-Day to share their entrepreneurial experiences and network with each other.Jimmy Ng, Investment Director at Gobi Partners, said: “It’s amazing to see Start-up Express International connecting top start-ups from across the globe further reflecting Hong Kong's growing role as a global innovation hub. Over the years, Hong Kong has introduced significant policies to support innovation and technology, especially with more proactive measures to drive university research translation and industry-academia collaboration.  These efforts, combined with initiatives to boost start-up funding and private investment, are creating a strong ecosystem that empowers entrepreneurs to turn their ideas into impactful businesses.”[Replay of BIP Asia Forum event, including highlights of the exhibition and forums, will be available from 7 December 2024 to 6 January 2025.

Hong Kong is also a place of scientific and technological innovation. The Global Innovation Index 2024 by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) ranked the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou science and technology cluster second globally for the fifth consecutive year. Hong Kong is an international trading and investment centre, so we need to provide a free and fair environment in which to do business. It is in our very interest to protect IP rights. The Business of IP Asia Forum brings together intellectual property professionals and business leaders from all over the world to discuss the latest developments in the IP world and to explore collaboration opportunities.”Mr Chan said in his opening remarks: “Our strategy for ensuring Hong Kong’s rise as a regional IP trading leader is built on two key pillars.

These figures prove that there is a continued willingness of investment in IP, and innovative movement worldwide in general. It also posed a question, how do we keep faster development and change downsides into positives' An important way to improve this trend is to do promote IP financing, in particular, financing high-risk, high-potential startups and emerging technologies.”The first day’s Plenary Session, titled “Unlocking Business Success with IPs”, features Michael Moriarty, Managing Director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort; Guy Riddell, Managing Director of Peninsula Merchandising Limited; and Dr Na Wei, Senior Director of IP Licensing at Xiaomi.

The way I did this was to hire experts and professionals in certain fields that then enabled that to expand. Something a bit different now in the AI era is that you can infinitely expand your competence. Using AI tools, you’re actually able to present to investors an ability to go into new markets, to produce new products, or to work on technical products that maybe you originally didn’t have any experience in.”Prof Jackson said: “AI is not a panacea or silver bullet. You have to use it selectively in a targeted way, because it’s new and we’re all learning how to use it in a supportive way. Artificial intelligence is not emotional intelligence. A lot of business is derived from relationships, nurturing those relationships, and particularly as you expand to a lot of markets, doing that with some intercultural communication competence.”Tomorrow, the HKTDC will co-organise the Rising Stars: Gen Z Entrepreneurs seminar with the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, which will feature Ugochi Owo, CEO of Flindel; Ryan Lee, Chief Financial Officer of OAO Limited; and Maurice Chang, CEO & Co-founder of Mindplus AI, to share how the new generation of entrepreneurs leverages technology and innovative strategies to turn their visions into reality.Outstanding global start-ups gather at Start-up Express: International EditionThe popular Start-up Express: International Edition returns for the third successive year at E-Day with 10 winning start-ups covering augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation systems, AI English tutors, sustainable footwear made from recycled materials, modular robotic seats, and climate tech solutions. Fourteen start-ups are present on the first day of E-Day to share their entrepreneurial experiences and insights.Additionally, InnoClub, the one-stop platform co-developed by the HKTDC and Hang Seng Bank, also hosts the InnoClub Award Presentation Ceremony and Networking Reception on the first day of E-Day to recognise the outstanding achievements of InnoClub members in I&T.Adding to the excitement of the BIP Asia Forum and E-Day is DesignInspire, held concurrently from 5 to 7 December at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. DesignInspire brings together global design and creative leaders, trendsetting brands, associations, and academies to promote next generation creativity through a series of interactive exhibits, design masterpieces, and award-winning projects.Websites:BIP Asia Forum: https://bipasia.hktdc.com/en/Entrepreneur Day: https://portal.hktdc.com/eday/enStart-up Express International: https://portal.hktdc.com/startupexpress/en/s/start-up-express-internationalPhoto Download: https://bit.ly/3ZD4SjxThe 14th Business of IP Asia Forum, jointly organised by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government (HKSAR Government) and Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), officially commences today with Eric Chan, Chief Secretary for Administration of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.Dr Peter K N Lam, GBM, GBS, Chairman of the Hong Kong Trade Development CouncilHu Wenhui, Deputy Commissioner of the China National Intellectual Property AdministrationWang Binying, Deputy Director General of the World Intellectual Property OrganizationThe “T-Chat – Changes, Challenges and Chances: A Startup’s Guide to Navigating the AI Era” seminar on the first day of Entrepreneur Day with Martin Karafilis, CEO of Fishburners, and Prof Keith Jackson, Chair of the Hong Kong UK Business Forum.
