SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The article is from Shuzhi Society.

On February 8th, U.S. local time, Dreame Robot Laundry made a landmark appearance in a coveted prime-time advertising slot during the 60th Super Bowl. Its 30-second commercial, airing on the event’s exclusive broadcaster, NBC, presented the brand’s high-end laundry solutions to millions of American households.

This strategic investment transcends traditional media exposure, representing a calculated move in premium brand positioning. As the most-watched television event in the United States, the Super Bowl serves not only as a cultural phenomenon but also as a globally recognized platform for establishing brand credibility and prestige. Dreame’s successful placement during this premier broadcast underscores its serious commitment to the North American market, a commitment further validated by the brand’s remarkable 189% year-over-year revenue growth in the region during 2025, demonstrating strong market traction and consumer acceptance.

The commercial prominently featured Dreame’s flagship L9 Washer-Dryer Set, highlighting its advanced capabilities in intelligent fabric sensing, specialized care programs, and cutting-edge washing technology. This focused presentation aligns perfectly with the brand’s strategic identity as a “technology-driven provider of premium home laundry solutions” – a carefully crafted message designed to resonate with the values and expectations of discerning American consumers who prioritize innovation, efficiency, and superior results in home appliances.

This Super Bowl debut marks a pivotal chapter in Dreame’s ambitious global expansion within the high-end smart home ecosystem. Since its founding in 2017, the company has executed a rapid and successful international growth strategy, establishing a commercial presence in over 120 countries and regions worldwide. The laundry category serves as a cornerstone of home appliances, supported by a robust intellectual property portfolio of over 210 patents and manufactured at a state-of-the-art, fully automated smart factory with an annual production capacity exceeding 2.5 million units, ensuring consistent quality and scalability.

Beyond immediate brand exposure, this Super Bowl initiative solidifies Dreame’s position as a forward-thinking global innovator in intelligent home care. It provides an unparalleled platform to engage directly with the core U.S. consumer base, building brand familiarity and trust that paves the way for sustained market penetration, future product introductions, and long-term category leadership.

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — J INTS BIO, Inc. announced that research findings on its investigational fourth-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), JIN-A02, have been published in Clinical Cancer Research, a leading oncology journal published by the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). According to the most recent Journal Citation Reports (2025), the journal has an Impact Factor of 10.2, reflecting its influence in translational and clinical cancer research.

The study presents a therapeutic strategy designed to overcome EGFR C797S, a major resistance mutation that commonly emerges following treatment with the third-generation EGFR inhibitor Tagrisso. By integrating comprehensive preclinical findings with early clinical observations, the research outlines a potential new treatment approach for patients with EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have limited options after Tagrisso failure.

EGFR-mutant NSCLC is driven by aberrant activation of EGFR signaling, and while EGFR-targeted therapies have dramatically improved outcomes over the past decade, acquired resistance remains inevitable for most, if not all patients. In particular, the C797S mutation is known as a representative resistance mechanism that emerges, preventing existing third-generation EGFR targeted therapies from working effectively. Currently, there are no approved treatments targeting the C797S mutation. JIN-A02 was developed as an orally available, fourth-generation EGFR inhibitor engineered to selectively target resistance-associated EGFR mutations, including C797S and T790M, while minimizing activity against wild-type EGFR. In preclinical models derived from patients with EGFR E19del/T790M/C797S mutant NSCLC that are resistant to Tagrisso, JIN-A02 demonstrated marked antitumor activity, achieving a maximum tumor growth inhibition (TGI) of 168.2%, substantially exceeding the effects observed with Tagrisso under the same conditions and indicating tumor regression. This means that it was observed that administration of JIN-A02 could reduce tumor size beyond simple growth inhibition.

Tumor tissue analyses showed significant reductions in phosphorylated EGFR (p-EGFR) and the proliferation marker Ki-67 following JIN-A02 treatment, confirming effective inhibition of EGFR-driven signaling at the molecular level. In intracranial tumor models reflecting brain metastases, JIN-A02 produced rapid and sustained reductions in tumor burden, suggesting the ability to achieve therapeutically meaningful exposure across the blood–brain barrier (BBB).

The publication also reports early clinical observations from an ongoing Phase 1/2 trial (NCT05394831) in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC who progressed after prior EGFR-targeted therapies and chemotherapy. As of the data cutoff, 23 patients had been treated with JIN-A02, with partial responses and stable disease observed in multiple cases. Notably, one patient in the 300 mg dose cohort achieved a partial response, with a 39.7% reduction in lung lesion size observed at the start of the third treatment cycle. This response was sustained through the seventh cycle, reaching a maximum reduction of 44.9%. In addition, the patient’s brain metastatic lesions decreased by 25% at the fifth treatment cycle, with the response maintained throughout the seventh cycle.

In addition, blood-based circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis in this patient showed complete clearance of the EGFR C797S mutation and the exon 19 deletion, along with a reduction of more than 90% in the T790M mutation. These findings are interpreted as evidence that the molecular-level target inhibition achieved by JIN-A02 translated into a meaningful clinical response.

Professor Sun Min Lim of the Division of Medical Oncology at Severance Hospital, the corresponding author of the study, stated, “JIN-A02 has demonstrated meaningful preclinical activity and early clinical signals targeting C797S-mediated resistance, for which treatment options have been extremely limited following the failure of third-generation EGFR-targeted therapies. In particular, the observed activity in brain metastases, along with a reduction in EGFR mutations detected in plasma ctDNA, provides important support for its further clinical development.”

J INTS BIO plans to further accelerate the clinical development of JIN-A02, focusing on dose optimization, expansion of clinical data in patients with brain metastases, and further validation of molecular response biomarkers, with the goal of establishing a new treatment option for patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC who have exhausted current standard therapies.

TAIPEI, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Taiwan’s largest integrated asset management group, Cathay Financial Holdings (Cathay FHC) continues to expand its platform by leveraging more than six decades of investment expertise and over USD 325 billion in assets under management.

Cathay FHC leverages its group-wide resources across three core growth engines—Banking, Insurance, and Asset Management. Both Cathay United Bank and Cathay Life Insurance are among the first batch of institutions approved to conduct pilot operations in the Kaohsiung Zone of the Asian Asset Management Center. This underscores the group’s strong alignment with national policy priorities and its commitment to playing a key role in advancing Taiwan’s ambition to become a leading Asset Management Center in Asia.

Cathay FHC President Lee Chang-Ken noted that Taiwan’s aspiration to become an Asian asset management hub has accelerated following the FSC’s sweeping regulatory reforms last year. More than 50 rules have been amended and 38 new business activities authorized within the Kaohsiung Zone—advances that materially enhance Taiwan’s international competitiveness.

President Lee underscored Taiwan’s distinctive strengths. Unlike Hong Kong and Singapore, Taiwan is not only a center of capital allocation but also a generator of wealth, supported by a vibrant industrial base. Over the past three decades, Taiwan’s market capitalization has surged from USD 211 billion to USD 3 trillion, while annual cash dividends have risen from USD 13 billion to more than USD 65 billion—supporting the rise of the world’s 15th-largest millionaire population. To unlock further potential, Lee recommended adopting a risk-based supervisory approach that aligns leverage limits with each institution’s credit profile and risk discipline—rewarding prudent players, constraining risk-taking, and strengthening Taiwan’s appeal to long-term capital.

Guided by the principle of “rooted in Taiwan, reaching the world,” Cathay FHC’s asset management arm provides corporate clients, high-net-worth individuals, and institutional investors with a broad range of investment solutions across asset classes, encompassing both active and passive strategies. With risk management as a central pillar, Cathay FHC integrates group-wide resources spanning wealth management, insurance solutions, and capital market investments to build a comprehensive, cross-platform asset management platform.

Under this strategic blueprint, Cathay Securities Investment Trust (Cathay SITE) serves as the core of the group’s asset management arm, supported by the scale, capital strength, and distribution capabilities of Cathay Life Insurance and Cathay United Bank. This restructuring establishes a solid foundation for a platform with the scale, depth, and institutional capabilities required to compete effectively on a regional stage—and to realize Cathay FHC’s long-term ambition to become a sizable and influential asset manager in Asia.

Cathay SITE Chairman Alan Lee noted that Cathay SITE and Cathay Life Insurance have begun full-scale integration across systems, talent, investment processes, and governance to build a scalable regional asset management platform. The long-term ambition is clear: expand AUM from USD 75 billion today to USD 488 billion within a decade, positioning Cathay SITE as one of Asia’s leading asset managers.

Talent remains central to achieving this vision. Cathay FHC employs approximately 300 investment professionals across equities, fixed income, FX, and alternative assets—more than 100 of whom have over 11 years of experience. The group will deepen partnerships with global universities to attract interdisciplinary talent in data science, technology, and ESG, supported by cross-market mobility programs spanning Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Alan Lee also announced that Cathay SITE will undertake a comprehensive upgrade of its investment research infrastructure. The firm plans to engage a top-tier global technology provider and draw on Cathay FHC’s digital and AI teams to embed advanced analytics, AI-powered forecasting, and decision-support tools into investment, research, and distribution workflows.

Cathay Life Insurance currently manages approximately USD 260 billion in assets, with USD 6.5 billion delegated to Cathay SITE and USD 65 billion to overseas managers. As Cathay Life Insurance increases the proportion of assets entrusted to Cathay SITE—excluding loans and real estate but covering at least 90–95% of other investable asset classes—Cathay SITE’s AUM is expected to expand significantly, with equities and funds transitioning first.

Cathay SITE has outlined four strategic priorities to guide its transformation: integrating the group’s investment research capabilities, building a comprehensive product shelf across active funds, passive funds, and ETFs, upgrading its investment research systems through a global technology partnership, and accelerating its expansion across Asia.

Cathay FHC is stepping up its international push. In September 2025, its asset-management unit partnered with Japan’s Daiwa Asset Management to list the first Taiwan-Japan cross-border linked ETF on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, expanding its offshore product lineup and giving investors a lower-friction route to Japanese real estate. The group has since moved into the active-ETF space, securing approval to launch an actively managed Taiwan-equities ETF.

Cathay United Bank is also expanding its global offerings, introducing exclusive distribution through early 2026 for asset-backed income solutions from a leading international manager in the Kaohsiung Zone of the Asian Asset Management Center, and partnering with a U.S. middle-market credit specialist to provide institutional-grade private-credit investments amid tighter global regulation.

Cathay FHC recently hosted the second Cathay Asset Management Summit, convening global experts to examine critical megatrends reshaping the investment landscape—from AI-driven innovation to Taiwan equities, global fixed income, private credit, and alternative assets. The summit attracted more than 12,000 registrants, setting a new record.

Looking ahead, Cathay FHC will continue to deliver forward-looking allocation strategies, strengthen its partnerships with investors, and reinforce Taiwan’s emergence as a leading Asian Asset Management Center through concrete initiatives and disciplined execution.

BANGKOK, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Artificial intelligence (AI) does not create new risks for organizations but significantly magnifies existing weaknesses in governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC), according to Dr. Pongpisit Wuttidittachotti, Thailand Cybersecurity & Privacy Officer at Huawei Technologies (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

Speaking at a panel discussion titled “AI Doesn’t Create New Problems, It Amplifies Old Ones” at Cybersec Asia 2026, Dr. Pongpisit said growing concerns around AI misuse often distract organizations from the real issue: a lack of foundational governance.

“The problem is not AI,” he said. “AI simply exposes what organizations have failed to manage ranging from unclear policies, weak controls, to unmanaged risks”.

Dr. Pongpisit stressed that organizations must define clear internal rules before deploying AI, including which tools are permitted, what data can be used, and whether public or private AI platforms are appropriate.

Without these guardrails, AI can dramatically accelerate cyber risks, particularly in environments still reliant on legacy systems.

“If obsolete systems are connected to the internet, AI can identify vulnerabilities far faster than before,” he noted. “Without governance, organizations cannot assess whether the risks they are taking are acceptable.”

From Policy to Enforcement

Effective AI governance requires translating policies into enforceable technical controls, especially in cloud environments.

“Policy cannot remain on paper. It must be implemented through technology—policy as code—supported by clear processes,” he said.

Dr. Pongpisit emphasized that sustainable AI adoption depends on the combined strength of people, process and technology, rather than reliance on any single factor.

From Huawei’s perspective as a global technology provider, AI is treated strictly as a tool—one that must be designed responsibly from the outset. Huawei applies security and privacy by design and by default throughout the responsible AI lifecycle, from data sourcing and processing to deployment and ongoing operations, in accordance with global standards and best practices such as ISO/IEC 42001. Its systems are transparent, enabling clients to monitor and verify practices through Huawei’s Global Cyber Security and Privacy Protection Transparency Center.

“Every component from data input to output must be assessed for cybersecurity and privacy risk,” he explained. “Risk cannot be eliminated, but it can be reduced to an acceptable level through proper controls.”

He also highlighted emerging concerns around copyright, open-source components, and cross-border data flows, warning that unmanaged AI use could undermine digital sovereignty.

Dr. Pongpisit concluded that AI adoption is unavoidable but irresponsible adoption is not.

“AI is like any other transformative technology. Organizations cannot avoid it,” he said. “But they must embed security and privacy from the beginning —not as an afterthought.”
