Fourthly, in the “Object Detection of Vehicle Camera Images Challenge” track, CITIC Telecom CPC continues to increase data training to improve the recognition of dark light, small targets and other images (such as vehicles and pedestrians). Lastly, in the “Pedestrian Image Identification in Agricultural Scenario Challenge” track, the team enhanced agricultural scenarios data and used “ReRank” to re-arrange the matching results for better accuracy, helping managers in accessing working conditions and efficiency of agricultural workers.CITIC Telecom CPC actively encourages teams to participate in a variety of academic competitions, aiming not only to bolster foundational research and enhance teams' problem-solving capabilities using innovative technologies through comprehensive communication platforms, but also to cultivate research talent and teamwork.

The two countries are attracting global manufacturing companies seeking to establish a base in Southeast Asia to weather geopolitical uncertainties.Aerial view on Amata City Chonburi, the company’s flagship project in ThailandMr. Vikrom Kromadit, Founder and Chairman of Amata Corporation Public Company LimitedThe story of Amata started in the mid-1970s, when Mr Vikrom, then a young graduate from the Taiwan National University, set up on an entrepreneurial journey in his native country, Thailand. After forays in import-export and business consulting, he entered the industrial estate business. Amata now manages full-service industrial parks in Thailand and Vietnam that are home to over 1,500 factory and commercial outlets.Amata’s clients include many Global Fortune 500 (2023) groups such as BASF, BMW, Bosch, Bridgestone, Brystol-Myers Squibb, Cardinal Health, Conch, Denso, Foxconn, GAC, Idemitsu, Magna, Mitsubishi Chemical and Mitsubishi Electric, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Posco, Sony, Toyota Tsusho, Toyota, etc.The five large industrial parks the company manages in Thailand—including Amata City Chonburi, the company single-largest estate—and the seven projects, including industrial parks and townships, that its affiliate Amata VN manages in all key economic zones of Vietnam, are no ordinary industrial estates. The parks offer ample water supply and wastewater treatment, stable electricity supply, including a fast-rising share of renewable energy, mostly solar, as well as schools and pleasant residential areas.“At Amata, our objective is to build the most perfect possible cities ensuring sustainability and financial stability through careful urban planning, state-of-the-art utilities, and dedicated management,” said Mr Vikrom, who will be 72 in March this year. “We select perfect locations near deep seaports and airports, as that’s the most important success factor for industrial parks. But we also add facilities that go one well beyond that to make our parks liveable cities, ensuring a convenient and clean environment to all.”The total industrial land managed by Amata, which started in 1989 with a six-hectare pocket of land, now represents around 150 sq. km. across the region, including Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. The company has another equivalent amount of land in reserve, ready for future expansion.The development in Laos, in the country’s northern province of Udomxai, is located next to the Namor station of the Lao-China Railway line. This new smart and eco-industrial park focuses on renewable energy, agro-industries, as well as the automotive and electronics sectors.“In all countries where we operate, Amata’s focus is to live up to its name, which means ‘Eternity’ in Sanskrit. We want to make sure that the prosperity we are bringing to all these locations will still be there to make people’s lives better in another 50 years,” Mr Vikrom said.The group’s 50th anniversary celebration is scheduled 17th January 2025.About Amata Corporation PCL.Amata Corporation PCL., listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) in 1997, focuses on industrial real estate development and related business in Thailand and other countries.

Quam Plus Financial Becomes a Gold Sponsor

HONG KONG, Jan 16, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Quam Plus International Financial Limited ("Quam Plus Financial" or the “Group”) is honored to congratulate the successful holding of the “2024 Hong Kong Capital Market Forum” at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong. It is our great honor to be the platinum sponsor of this event, and Dr. Kenneth Lam, Co-Chairman and CEO of the Group, has been invited to serve as the Chairman of the Organizing Committee. Together with other members of the senior management team, we joined numerous professionals from the capital markets, government agencies, academia, and the financial industry to explore ways to further enhance the economic momentum of Hong Kong.The forum was organized by The Chamber of Hong Kong Listed Companies, The Hong Kong Institute of Directors, and the Hong Kong Association of Registered Public Interest Entity Auditors Limited, with strong support from institutions such as the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Securities and Futures Commission and the Accounting and Financial Reporting Council.This year's forum is themed "How to Enhance Economic Vitality and Strengthen Competitiveness." The conference invited Mr. Qi Bin, Deputy Director of the Central Government's Liaison Office in Hong Kong Administrative Region, and Mr. Paul Chan, Financial Secretary of the HKSAR, as guest speakers.Mr. Qi stated, "Last year, with strong support from the central government and the joint efforts of various sectors in Hong Kong, the economy showed steady improvement. The central government intensified macroeconomic regulation and introduced a series of incremental policies, which also helped reverse the decline in the Hong Kong stock market last year."Mr. Paul Chan pointed out, "This week, the People's Bank of China and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced several measures to deepen financial cooperation, greatly enhancing Hong Kong's ability to connect with mainland and overseas capital markets." He also noted, "As long as Hong Kong continues to embrace reform, dare to innovate, seize opportunities, and effectively play the roles of a super connector and a super value creator, it can inject new momentum into the financial development of Hong Kong and contribute even more to the country's goal of becoming a financial powerhouse."Dr. Kenneth Lam delivered the opening speech at the forum, stating “Market progress does not solely rely on the efforts of the government and regulatory bodies. As market participants, we also bear responsibility. This is one of the important reasons we are holding this forum today. We hope to gather the wisest perspectives and richest experiences from the industry to jointly explore the right development path for Hong Kong, helping us rise and become stronger amidst challenges.”As an important bridge connecting mainland China with international markets, Hong Kong has long leveraged its unique position to become a global hub for capital flows. However, as the global economic landscape continues to reshape, Hong Kong's capital market is at a critical moment filled with challenges and opportunities. Against this backdrop, this year's forum aimed to explore how to further stimulate market vitality in a complex environment.

Military Metals Announces Definitive Agreement for Purchase of Additional Claims at Its West Gore Antimony Property
Military Metals Announces Definitive Agreement for Purchase of Additional Claims at Its West Gore Antimony Property

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - January 16, 2025) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "Military") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Agreement"), dated effective January 15, 2025 to acquire further claims surrounding its West Gore Antimony Project ("West Gore" or the "Project") to consolidate the mineralized area located in Nova Scotia, Canada (the "Transaction"). A historically significant antimony producer, West Gore produced 7,000 tonnes of antimony concentrate grading 46% antimony between 1914 to 1917, making a significant contribution to the Allied war effort during World War One until a shipment to England was sunk by a German U-boat and the company then operating went bankrupt.West Gore consists of four exploration licenses comprising 585 hectares located in Hants County, Nova Scotia, Canada, and the newly acquired ground adds 388 hectares under additional exploration licenses to the immediate northwest of the Project, which is thought to comprise the balance of the West Gore antimony-gold mineralized system and includes its historical mine workings. The Company has acquired a 100% interest in the additional claims for $235,000 from ExplORE Resources Ltd. ("ExplORE"), which is spread over two years and ExplORE will receive a 3% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR"). The NSR buydown provisions include $500,000 on the first 1%, and $1,000,000 on an additional 1%, providing Military the opportunity to reduce the overall NSR to 1% at its sole discretion.The historical West Gore mines have a mining history dating back to 1883 and were a significant source of antimony during the First World War, most of which was shipped to England. Total production of gold and antimony between 1883 and 1917, the last recorded year of production, remains unknown. However, between 1914 and 1917, nearly 32,000 tonnes were mined yielding over 7,000 tonnes of antimony concentrate grading 46% antimony. The total amount of gold recovered up to 1917 was estimated to be nearly 6,900 ounces. Aside from minor exploration work in the 1960s, the 1980s, and again over the past few years, the West Gore system remains essentially unexplored in modern times.With the acquisition of the new claims on completion of the Transaction, the Company will gain significant coverage over the mineralized system including all the historical mine workings and known antimony-gold occurrences with additional ground along trend in both directions as exhibited in Map 1 below. This in turn is anticipated to enable the Company to approach this antimony-gold system in its entirety to unlock future value. All relevant data are in the process of being compiled into an integrated digital database, with exploration plans to follow.Map 1: West Gore Project ClaimsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/237404_6e1e7c83d40478cc_001full.jpgAntimony-gold mineralization at West Gore is hosted in graphitic and sulfide-bearing slates of the lower units of the Cambrian-age Halifax Formation that were deformed into a northeast-trending, upright, closed syncline and metamorphosed to greenschist facies during the regional Acadian orogeny. Mineralization occurs as stibnite, native antimony, aurostibnite, and antimony-gold alloys and oxides.

TransNusa Welcomes 2025 by Launching Bali – Perth International Route

JAKARTA, Jan 16, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - PT TransNusa Aviation Mandiri (TransNusa), the new player with new rules, kick starts 2025 by introducing a new international route from Indonesia’s renowned tourism destination, Bali to Perth, Australia.TransNusa started selling the flight tickets, which are priced from IDR 1.799.000 onwards, AUD 169 onwards, CNY 782 onwards, USD 163 onwards, and MYR 514 onwards, on January 15. The TransNusa flight tickets can be purchased at transnusa.co.id or any secure online travel agent.TransNusa Group Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Bernard Francis said that TransNusa has introduced this new international route in order to provide passengers with additional travel choices.“The Bali - Perth international route is a golden route as the highest number of tourists, almost every year, in Bali are from Perth. Hence, the demand for this route is equally significant,” said Datuk Bernard, adding that TransNusa will be launching the maiden flight from Bali to Perth on March 20, this year.On the details of the scheduled flights, Datuk Bernard explained, “Initially, TransNusa will operate three scheduled flights a week, which will be on Monday, Thursday and Saturday. From April 12, we will increase the frequency to four times a week by adding another flight on Tuesday and eventually increase the frequency to a daily flight from June 1 onwards.”TransNusa’s scheduled flight, 8B 080 (DPS-PER), will depart Bali at 09.10am from I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport and arrive the Perth Airport at 12.50pm.

TransNusa has five scheduled flights to Manado from Bali on a weekly basis. As such, tourists from Perth will also have an opportunity to visit Manado with a direct flight from Perth.For its international flights, TransNusa not only provide premium services with competitive ticket prices, but the airline also has attractive product bundles called SEAT, SEAT-PLUS and FLEXI-PRO."Our passengers will enjoy check-in baggage of between 15kgs to 30 kgs, depending on the product purchased,” Datuk Bernard said, explaining that the baggage offering was over and above the 7kgs limit offered as a passenger’s hand carry.“For the highest package, FLEXI-PRO, we provide more complete services such as free baggage 30kgs, free to choose seats, free food, and drinks, priority at check-in and boarding. In addition, TransNusa also provides its FLEXI-PRO passengers with the ability to be able to change their flight schedule without restrictions and obtain refund when needed.”TransNusa, which aims to ensure its passengers travel with ease and comfort, has also configured their A320s with a 174-seat configuration, which allows for passengers to enjoy about 30 inches of legroom, comparable to the experience passengers would get in a full-service airline."We are committed to providing affordable and competitive ticket prices, while still providing premium services to our customers.” Stressed Datuk Bernard.TransNusa, A Short HistoryTransNusa, which had to close its business operation in September 2020 due to impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the aviation industry, started operations again after injection of new shareholders and a new management team led by aviation expert, Datuk Bernard, in October 2022.Within 6 months, the airline introduced its first international route between Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur and celebrated its first-year anniversary for this route on April 14, 2024.“When we re-launched TransNusa in October 2022, we started from the bottom again. We had no aircraft or roadmap to follow. Everything was new because the pandemic had broken the aviation business operations boundaries. We re-created and customised our business operations and strategy model of being the first Premium Service Carrier based on the post-pandemic scenario,” Datuk Bernard explained.TransNusa launched its first international route between Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur in April, 2023, after which the airline successfully launched three more new international routes by the end of 2023. TransNusa’s aggressive international growth strategy combined with its domestic business operations approach has enabled the airline to be the fastest growing airline in South East Asia.Since the takeover of new shareholders and the injection of a new management team, TransNusa has been contributing and changing the aviation landscape in Indonesia. It has been making headlines in Malaysia, Singapore, China and around the world with news of being the first airline in Indonesia and the world to develop and introduce a new domestic route connecting Bali and Manado. TransNusa also became the second Indonesian airline to receive approval to fly to China and provided Indonesians with more pricing and route options to China.Media ContactTrina Thomas RajMobile: +6012 4992672E-mail: trina@myqaseh.orgAbout TransNusaEstablished in 2005, TransNusa started its operation by providing chartered flights.

「中国房车第一股」新吉奥房车港股上市:领航全球房车市场新风
「中国房车第一股」新吉奥房车港股上市:领航全球房车市场新风

香港, 2025年1月13日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 新年伊始,港股IPO市场持续火热,有8只新股跨年招股,涵盖银行、玩具、智驾、建筑材料、环保、医药等多个行业。其中,新吉奥房车有限公司(「新吉奥房车」或「公司」,股份代号:0805.HK)作为房车赛道的龙头标的,凭借其小而美的特质,受到资本市场的关注。1月13日,新吉奥房车成功登陆港股资本市场,成为「中国房车第一股」。聚焦澳新市场 以技术创新「开疆拓土」房车旅行作为一种集旅游与生活于一体的生活方式,日益受到人们的青睐。特别是在北美、欧洲、澳洲、纽西兰等地区,房车已成为一种大众休闲方式,2023年共占据约97%的全球市场份额。其中,澳洲及纽西兰为全球第三大房车市场。新吉奥房车聚焦澳洲、纽西兰市场,十多年前通过收购澳洲知名品牌Regent进入当地房车市场,幷于随后推出中端品牌Snowy River,凭借较高的性价比,实现在该地区的快速扩张及渗透。为进一步扩大受众,公司于2019年推出兼具功能性和经济性的半越野品牌NEWGEN,构建起覆盖中端到高端的系列产品矩阵。截至2024年6月30日,公司已成功量产49款车型,可全面满足不同消费者的独特需求。强大技术创新实力,是支撑新吉奥房车持续推陈出新的关键。公司始终将研发放在重要位置,将国外先进的房车制造技术与自身国内外研发相结合,使其能够在产品功能方面不断突破,引领行业发展潮流。面对汽车电动化发展趋势,新吉奥房车依托中国在新能源领域的技术优势,积极开发拖挂式电动房车这一开拓性车型,将成为首批将电动房车方案商业化的房车专家之一。凭借领先的技术能力,新吉奥房车能够为客户提供定制化产品,幷定期推出新车型及升级现有产品系列,持续保持其产品吸引力和市场竞争力。目前,其已成为澳洲、纽西兰市场的领先房车公司,根据弗若斯特沙利文的资料,按2023年的收入及销量计,在澳洲和纽西兰房车行业的市场份额中均位居第二。内外协同 夯实发展根基在澳洲、纽西兰市场,由于道路车辆标准法案的实施,行业加速整合。另外,供应链方面也是一大影响因素。据了解,由于工业基础薄弱,澳洲房车行业严重依赖海外供应链,一旦出现国际市场波动、物流中断和供应链问题,当地房车制造商营运风险和成本就会随之增加。在此背景下,具备成本及供应链优势的大型房车制造商更具市场竞争力。新吉奥房车依托位于中国浙江与澳洲的两大先进工厂,实现高效产出与快速回应的定制化服务。以浙江基地为例,该基地由焊接、喷漆、层压、裁剪及家私五个专业车间及多条先进的组装线组成,高效的生产布局确保了产品能够快速、高品质地交付市场。而澳洲组装线承接最终组装,使其能够迅速满足本地定制化需求。不仅如此,受益于中国的整合制造能力,公司还能在实现卓越制造的同时保持成本效益,从而在市场竞争中占据成本优势。供应链方面,新吉奥房车与众多中国本土优质零部件供应商建立了长期稳定的合作关系,能够实现零部件的快速供应与精准匹配,确保生产进度不受影响。此外,公司还与一家从事全球航运及物流服务的中国跨国企业集团达成合作,以加强其海运物流和及时交付能力。通过稳定的供应链管理,公司有效降低了外部供应链扰动的影响,实现房车的及时交付,进一步巩固其领先地位。通过采用「国内外研发幷举、国内生产制造」的运营模式,新吉奥房车在成本控制、技术创新、产品交付等方面实现了 1 + 1 > 2 的协同效应,为其在澳洲、纽西兰房车市场乃至全球市场的竞争中奠定了坚实基础。盈利能力持续提升 打造中国制造出海标杆在内外协同作用下,新吉奥房车在实现收入强劲增长的同时,盈利能力持续提升。2021年至2023年间,公司的收入分别为人民币299.7百万元、498.8百万元及720.3百万元,复合年增长率为55.0%;净利润为人民币25.1百万元、33.0百万元及78.8百万元,复合年增长率为77.2%。同期,毛利率为16.7%、16.5%及25.1%,呈逐年抬升之势。2024年上半年,公司毛利率进一步提升至32.0%。再看房车市场,过去数年,由于供应链中断、经济波动等因素影响,房车市场整体出现一定的分化。不过随着居民消费升级、旅游观念革新,以及全球旅游业复苏和露营经济蓬勃发展,房车市场预期将持续回暖,延续增长态势。根据弗若斯特沙利文的资料,全球房车市场预计在2024年至2028年间按6.6%的复合年增长率增长,到2028年将超过863,600辆。其中,拖挂式房车以其更高的可负担性、更大的使用灵活性以及更低的成本,复苏速度预计将快于自行式房车。在前景向好的房车市场,新吉奥房车依托独特的国内外结合运营模式,成本优势、技术创新优势和供应链优势明显,已经于澳洲和纽西兰建立了领导地位。本次上市后,在资本助力下,公司有望进一步强化其竞争优势,逐步拓展全球市场版图,扩大市场份额,打造中国制造业走向国际的发展标杆。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.
