On Dec 25, the “Tianjin Port Impression” Experience Hall, part of Tianjin Port Group’s port-industry-city integration project, officially opened at Tianjin’s Old Culture Street, a national 5A-level tourist attraction.

The new facility aims to elevate the city’s cultural tourism appeal and deepen the integration of culture, tourism, and commerce by offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore Tianjin Port’s world-class achievements, purchase specialty products, and enjoy an immersive cultural experience.

The experience hall spans three floors, with the first floor featuring a product display area and a container-shaped exhibition wall, showcasing models of goods transported through the port. Visitors can try their hand at remotely operating a container crane, offering a hands-on glimpse into the advanced logistics operations of the port. The second floor serves as a versatile space for visitor relaxation and business events, while the basement houses an immersive projection theater, providing a captivating audiovisual exploration of the port’s legacy and innovations.

“In addition to cultural exhibits, the hall offers a unique shopping experience. Visitors can view the products in the hall and conveniently place orders by scanning a QR code,” explained Feng Jian, general manager of Tianjin Port Cultural Media Co. According to him, plans are also underway to expand the product range to include frozen beef and other fresh goods.

The “Tianjin Port Impression” Experience Hall will serve as a dynamic platform for showcasing Tianjin Port’s cultural heritage, hosting exhibitions, and promoting sales of port-related products. It will also strengthen the connection between urban and port tourism. Future plans include developing custom cultural products, hosting port-themed events, and offering expanded interactive experiences.

“By April next year, a direct shuttle service from Old Culture Street to Dongjiang Bay Scenic Area is expected to be launched,” said Feng, “visitors will be able to explore the historic street, tour the port, enjoy the beach, and embark on a cruise, fully experiencing the unique charm of tourism in this port city.”

Accropeutics Announces First Patient Dosed in Phase Ib Study of RIPK2 Inhibitor AC-101

NEW YORK, Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Accropeutics Inc. (Accropeutics), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel therapeutics that target molecular mechanisms of regulated cell death for immune mediated diseases, today announced the dosing of their first patient in the Phase Ib clinical trial of AC-101. AC-101 is a novel RIPK2 inhibitor being developed for the treatment of moderate-to-severe Ulcerative Colitis (UC). This multi-center, open-label clinical trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of AC-101 in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe UC. Accropeutics recently secured U.S. FDA IND clearance for AC-101 to enable its planned Phase 2 Multi-Regional Clinical Trial (MRCT) for this indication.

Dr. Xiaohu Zhang, co-founder and CEO of Accropeutics said, “Dosing of the first patient in AC-101’s Phase 1b study represents a significant step towards advancing this novel oral therapeutic for treatment of patients suffering from Ulcerative Colitis. We believe that RIPK2 comprises a critical target in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease, including Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease, and that targeting it with AC-101 will provide a novel front-line option to patients in urgent need of efficacious, non-immunosuppressive treatments.”

About Ulcerative Colitis (UC)

Ulcerative Colitis (UC), is a chronic, immune-mediated, inflammatory disease of the digestive tract, characterized by the inflammation of the large intestine and an intermittent relapsing–remitting disease course. Recurring UC flares lead to significant cumulative morbidity and long-standing disease is associated with significant risk of developing colorectal cancer. Patients with active disease are more likely to experience psychological comorbidity, including stress, anxiety and depression, that significantly impair their quality of life and work productivity. While many advanced therapeutics exist to manage moderate-to-severe UC, the majority of these drugs associate with less than impressive clinical remission rates (20–30%), along with a high incidence of secondary loss of response in patients who initially responded.

About RIPK2

Receptor interacting protein kinase 2 (RIP2 or RIPK2) is a member of the receptor interacting serine/threonine protein kinase family. NOD/RIPK2 dependent signaling pathway dysregulation is implicated in several forms of immune mediated inflammatory disease, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and sarcoidosis.

About AC-101

AC-101 was developed from the company’s “regulatory cell death and inflammation” drug discovery platform. Preclinical studies show that AC-101 effectively inhibits the release of the NOD-RIPK2 dependent inflammatory factors and significantly protects tissue damage in nonclinical in-vivo models. AC-101 has completed Phase I clinical testing in Australia and China with evidence of strong safety and PK/PD signal. 

About Accropeutics

Accropeutics Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the discovery, development and commercialization of novel therapeutics for immune mediated inflammatory disease, by targeting molecular mechanisms of regulated cell death. The company has a robust portfolio of innovative compounds in various stages of development, ranging from lead optimization to clinical testing. AC-003, a selective RIPK1 inhibitor, completed phase I clinical testing in China and the United States, and is undergoing phase Ib clinical trials in aGVHD. AC-201, a selective TYK2/JAK1 inhibitor, has completed Phase I testing in Australia and China, and is currently undergoing a Phase II psoriasis trial in China. The Accropeutics portfolio additionally includes several assets in research and preclinical stages of development. Accropeutics entirely owns global rights for all of its assets, and boasts 23 issued patents in China, Japan, Korea, US and the EU.

Economy, Cyber Threats and Talent Dominate List of Critical Near-Term Risks for Boards and Executives, Protiviti and North Carolina State University Survey Finds

Business leaders feel their organizations’ resilience and ability to navigate a dynamically shifting risk landscape has been battle tested

MENLO PARK, Calif., Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Above all other concerns, the economy remains the number one risk keeping global business leaders up at night, according to a new survey from Protiviti and North Carolina State University’s ERM Initiative. The survey measures the most pressing business risks over the next 2-3 years, as well as a decade later. Economic uncertainty and volatility are expected to persist as leaders grapple with inflation, tariffs, geopolitical upheaval, growth in AI and other emerging technologies, and upcoming policy changes from new administrations globally.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/robert-half/9318151-en-protiviti-nc-state-near-and-long-term-business-risks-survey-results

The 13th annual survey, “Executive Perspectives on Top Near- and Long-Term Risks,” polled 1,215 board members and C-suite executives around the world about their views on 32 macroeconomic, strategic and operational risks facing their companies over the near-term (two to three years ahead) and the long-term (a decade later). In today’s interconnected risk landscape, business leaders face complex uncertainties but feel better prepared to operate in a volatile environment and keep pace with change.  

Top 10 Global Risks (over the next 2–3 years)

  • Economic conditions, including inflationary pressures
  • Cyber threats
  • Ability to attract, develop and retain top talent, manage shifts in labor expectations, and address succession challenges
  • Talent and labor availability
  • Increases in labor costs
  • Heightened regulatory change, uncertainty and scrutiny
  • Third-party risks
  • Rapid speed of disruptive innovations enabled by new and emerging technologies and/or other market forces
  • Adoption of AI and other emerging technologies requiring new skills in short supply
  • Emergence of new risks from implementing artificial intelligence

A notable change in the results is that board members and executives generally feel more positive about their organizations’ resilience, agility and preparedness to deal with crises or changes in the market. Resistance to change was ranked as the fourth biggest risk for companies in 2023 and has fallen to 17th place for this year’s survey, indicating that companies have established more agile business models and frameworks for identifying and responding to the unexpected with an increased level of flexibility in their strategic approaches.

“Despite the volatile economic environment with deglobalization, tariffs and the threat of trade wars, and changing regulation, leaders are feeling more confident that their organizations are battle-tested and better prepared to deal with disruption whether it’s anticipated or not,” said Matt Moore, Global Leader of Risk & Compliance at Protiviti. “Global leaders will need to tap into this confidence to adapt to evolving policies and a dynamic business landscape in the U.S. and abroad.”

Talent Risks Remain High: AI Risks Permeate Everything
Risks related to talent – whether challenges about attracting and retaining talent or increasing labor costs – occupy three of the top five short-term risks, indicating significant ongoing challenges. It is now clear that the risks AI poses are embedded in several of the other top 10 risks. This is especially true when looking at the talent-related risks. As AI technology evolves to agentic AI and physical AI, this will require widespread reskilling and upskilling, so that workforces are prepared to meet the demands of the future. 

It’s Not “If” But “When” For Cyber Attacks
Boards and C-suite leaders ranked cyber threats as the second most concerning risk over the next two to three years, outranked only by the economy. Cyber threats also represent the most-cited long-term operational risk for executives, with 31% selecting it among their two most concerning operational risk issues for the next decade.

“The widespread impacts of a cyber event permeate an entire company, which result in a number of potential risks – operational, financial, reputational and beyond. It’s imperative that CISOs have open and honest conversations with senior leadership and board members on the organization’s cyber risk profile. These discussions inform the steps taken to manage the variety of cyber threats that companies must face – including everything from risk of third parties with access to the company’s data or environment to nation state-sponsored attacks,” said Andy Retrum, Global Leader, Technology Risk & Resilience, Protiviti.

The Road Ahead: Top Risks for 2035
The study asked respondents to rank their top two risks a decade out across three risk categories:

Macroeconomic risk outlook:

  1. Economic conditions, including inflationary pressures
  2. Talent and labor availability

Strategic risk outlook:

  1. Heightened regulatory change, uncertainty and scrutiny
  2. Rapid speed of disruptive innovations enabled by new and emerging technologies and/or other market forces

Operational risk outlook:

  1. Cyber threats
  2. Ability to attract, develop and retain top talent, manage shifts in labor expectations, and address succession challenges

Many of the near-term risks continue to show up in the long-term assessment – the economy, talent and cyber remain center stage. While leaders may be confident about their ability to deal with change, it’s clear that the impacts of today’s risks are expected to persist into the next decade.

It is not just the top risks, but those a little further down the list that give insight into the risks on the rise for the next decade. Just over one-fifth (22%) of global executives ranked geopolitical shifts as one of their top two macroeconomic risks over the long term. Customer loyalty (22%) and supply chain (16%) were also on the minds of survey respondents, with a sizeable number selecting them as one of their top two operational and strategic risks respectively. 

Dr. Mark Beasley, professor of Enterprise Risk Management, director of North Carolina State University’s ERM Initiative and co-author of the report, said: “The best companies will see these risks as inherently interconnected. Too often, companies are looking at risks in silos where one hand isn’t consistently talking to the other. To address the future impacts of AI, geopolitical events and regulation, executives will need effective collaboration to strengthen their organization’s resilience.”

The “Executive Perspectives on Top Near-Term Risks and Long-Term Risks” report from Protiviti and North Carolina State University’s ERM Initiative provides detailed results and analysis broken out across executive positions and industry groups.

webinar will be held Tuesday, Feb. 25 at 1 p.m. ET, where panelists will share key takeaways from the survey and explore the interconnected nature of emerging risks and their strategic implications. Panelists include Carrie McNish, Managing Director, People & Change, Protiviti; Constantine Boyadjiev, Risk & Compliance Analytics Global Leader, Protiviti; and Ryan McCarthy, Senior Director, Security & Privacy, Protiviti.
