VICTORIA, Seychelles, Nov. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX) will donate $1.54 million USD ($12,000,000 HKD) to fully support families affected by the Wang Fuk Court fire in Tai Po, Hong Kong, and to assist community rebuilding efforts. The contribution responds to one of Hong Kong’s deadliest residential fires in decades, after a five-alarm blaze swept through multiple towers at the Wang Fuk Court estate on November 26, claiming at least 128 lives, injuring more than 70 people and forcing over 900 residents into temporary shelters.

Due to the incident, authorities have initiated criminal and anti-corruption investigations into the renovation works and the safety of materials used at the site, while emergency teams continue search, rescue, and recovery operations and families work to locate missing relatives.

To ensure that relief reaches those in need in a structured and accountable way, Bitget has mandated three of Hong Kong’s most trusted charities to execute the $12,000,000 HKD ($1.54M USD approx.) donation. All of the donations has been executed. Yan Chai Hospital has received $5,000,000 HKD ($640,000 USD) to support emergency medical services, treatment for the injured, and rehabilitation for affected families. The Salvation Army Hong Kong has received $3,500,000 HKD ($450,000 USD approx.) to provide financial assistance, temporary accommodation, basic necessities, and livelihood support for households that have lost homes and income. Po Leung Kuk has received $3,500,000 HKD ($450,000 USD approx.) to deliver psychological counselling, community outreach, and long-term case follow-up for survivors, bereaved families, and vulnerable residents in the surrounding area.

HANGZHOU, China, Nov. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As the “Creating the World • Sailing to the Future” Innovation & Entrepreneurship Competition for Overseas Talents 2025 • Hangzhou concludes its semifinals, 72 projects across six tracks have advanced to the final round. Since its launch in March, this year’s edition has attracted over 2,000 projects from more than 30 countries and regions.

This year’s edition of “Creating the World • Sailing to the Future” Innovation & Entrepreneurship Competition for Overseas Talents has attracted over 2,000 projects from more than 30 countries and regions.

A significant number of participants hail from the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and other leading innovation ecosystems. The competitors are highly educated, with nearly 60% of overseas returnees holding doctoral degrees. Among them, 95 are from top-tier universities such as MIT, Cambridge, Oxford, and Harvard, while 77 are alumni of C9 League institutions like Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Now in its 11th year, the competition has continuously adapted its tracks to align with Hangzhou’s industrial development goals.

HANGZHOU, China, Nov. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Meng Jintao, winner of the 2024 Hangzhou’s Innovation & Entrepreneurship Competition for Overseas Talents, exemplifies this journey. His project on “All-Iron Redox Flow Battery Technology”–dubbed a “giant movable power bank”–has already secured letters of intent totaling over RMB 2.5 billion. But his success extends beyond the competition.

“As a Zhejiang native, Hangzhou’s mix of strategic location, academic resources, and pro-innovation policies has made the city obviously attractive,” Meng reflects. Since winning, his company has become the first in China to offer integrated solutions in this cutting-edge energy storage field, serving major clients like China General Nuclear Power Group and PowerChina.

Meng’s story is far from unique. Just one year earlier, Dr. Zhang Yongwei captured the jury’s attention with his groundbreaking work in regenerative medical materials. His “ultra-high hydrostatic pressure decellularization technology”–which enables the use of animal tissues for human transplant purposes–won third prize in the 2022 competition.

“The real turning point wasn’t winning–it was the follow-up,” Dr. Zhang notes. “Right after the awards ceremony, I was approached by representatives from multiple districts in Hangzhou. They weren’t just offering incentives; they were offering partnerships.” In early 2023, he established Hangzhou Haofan Biotechnology Co.,Ltd in Lin’an district, attracted by the area’s talent policies and scenic research environment. “The local government supported us at every step–funding, lab space, talent housing, even helped with the visas for international experts. This ‘full-chain service’ allowed us to focus purely on R&D.”

Zhang’s work addresses a critical global challenge: shortage of transplantable organs and tissues. Using his technology, the company processes animal-derived tissues to remove immunogenic components while preserving structural functionality, offering new hope for patients awaiting corneal and vascular grafts.

This supportive environment also attracted Dr. Cui Di, the 2021 champion and founder of Dessight Biomedical. Her team specializes in ophthalmic surgical robots and biological therapies for retinal diseases. “Winning the competition gave us immediate visibility and credibility,” Cui says, “and it was Hangzhou’s existing strengths in digital healthcare and strong investor network that helped us secure tens of millions in funding last year.”

Cui values Hangzhou’s balance of ambition and quality of life. “It’s a city that encourages innovation and offers a living environment that inspires. The government doesn’t just give you a policy document–they sit down with you, solve problems with you, and help you run faster.”

  • Recognized as Biologics CDMO of the Year, BioDlink shares insights into the world’s first approved EGFR-targeted ADC for recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma
  • The company enables seamless Europe–China tech transfer and faster biologics development through an integrated, end-to-end CMC platform

SUZHOU, China, Nov. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BioDlink, a global leader in biologics contract development and manufacturing, took center stage at Biologics CDMO Europe 2025 to present its critical role in the regulatory approval and manufacturing support of the world’s first approved EGFR-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (R/M NPC).

During his keynote presentation, “Linking Europe and China —Mutual Success in Biologics CMC Development,” Dr. Jian Zhang, Chief Operating Officer at BioDlink, discussed global and Chinese biologics market trends, pointing out that China contributed 54 percent of ADCs and 48 percent of bispecific and tri-specific antibodies in global Phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ trials as of 2025[1]. In Q1-Q3 2025, the country’s license-out total deal value hit $920.3 billion, a 77 percent increase over 2024, including 16 deals valued over $1 billion each based on industry report[2].

Dr. Zhang also introduced BioDlink’s cross-regional project execution capabilities, providing case studies on how its integrated one-base, end-to-end CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls) platform facilitated seamless technology transfer, agile regulatory alignment, and accelerated manufacturing timelines. The company recently manufactured a first-in-class Becotatug Vedotin injection, receiving marketing approval from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), and is the first EGFR-targeted ADC ever approved globally, representing a significant R/M NPC therapeutic advancement.

Further reinforcing its industry leadership, BioDlink was named Biologics CDMO of the Year at the Biologics CDMO Excellence Europe 2025 awards, recognized for its overall excellence in biologics across core customer needs, including quality, speed, and cost.

BioDlink sponsored the “Tech-Transfer Simplified: Lessons across the Lifecycle” forum, with Dr. Zhang participating in a lively discussion with top biotech CEOs, MNC executives, research leaders, and investment leaders. Technology transfer should be treated not just as a technical hand‑off but as a strategic phase covering the transition from development to manufacturing, with implications for product quality, timelines, regulatory applications, and commercial outcomes. Seamless technology transfer is also essential to China’s growth as a global innovation hub, enabling greater speed, broader modality expansion, and a shift to NewCo and out-licensing financing.
