HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 November 2025 – The HKSOS x Sowers Action Challenging 12 Hours Charity Trail Marathon 2025 successfully took place today (2 November). The event, co-organized by Sowers Action and the mobile application HKSOS, was officiated at the kick-off ceremony by the Hon. of the Secretary for Security, Mr Tang Ping-keung. Other officiating guests included the Assistant Commissioner of Police (Information Systems), Ms. Kwan Chui-ching; the Assistant Director (Kowloon) of the Fire Services Department, Mr. Tsang Wing-hung; Divisional Commander (Kowloon East), Mr. Chu Man-chiu; Assistant Commissioner (World Customs Organization) of the Customs and Excise Department, Mr. Li Kin Kei; Acting Chief Pilot (Operations) of the Government Flying Service, Mr. Lui Tak-shun; and Staff Officer of the Auxiliary Medical Service, Mr. Siu Kwan-choi.

HKSOS x Sowers Action

More than 1,300 runners participated across four race categories — 42km, 28km, 14km, and a 3km Family Fun Run — joining forces for a meaningful cause to support education for underprivileged children while promoting outdoor safety.

Sowers Action Chairman Mr. Raymond Lee expressed heartfelt thanks to all participants:“We sincerely thank all government departments, sponsoring organizations, volunteers, runners, and members of the media for their unwavering support and participation, which made the “Challenging 12 Hours Charity Trail Marathon” possible. Over the past 34 years, Sowers Action has extended its footprint across 16 provinces and 248 counties in Mainland China, as well as in various overseas regions. In recent years, we have also established the Sowers Action Service Centre in Sham Shui Po, serving over 1,600 grassroots families in Hong Kong. The ‘Challenging 12 Hours’ has been our signature charitable event for 27 consecutive years, and we are honored to collaborate with “HKSOS” this year to not only raise funds for children’s education but also to promote mountain and outdoor safety awareness. The success of this event truly relies on the collective efforts of everyone involved. In line with our belief that ‘Kindness Knows No Borders’, we are deeply grateful to every participant whose generosity helps sustain our mission in education and empowerment. Wishing all runners a safe and successful race, embodying the spirit of ‘Doing Good Brings Joy’.”

Assistant Commissioner of Police (Information Systems) Ms. Kwan Chui-ching remarked:“It is an honour for the Hong Kong Police Force to co-organize the ‘Challenging 12 Hours Charity Marathon’ with Sowers Action, bringing together the dual missions of education and technology. Since its launch in 2024, the HKSOS mobile application has successfully assisted over 270 citizens, averaging one rescue every two days. Its patented system integrates AI-powered incident detection, direct linkage to the 999 emergency centre, and an emergency contact network, forming a robust ‘safety triangle’ designed to enhance outdoor safety. We are especially delighted that over 1,300 runners participating today have downloaded HKSOS. Two weeks ago, our team also successfully conducted a satellite rescue test at an altitude of 5,600 meters in Nepal, marking an important milestone in validating cross-border emergency response capabilities. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to China Mobile Hong Kong for their strong support, and to every participant who has joined us in promoting both charity and safety through technology. I wish all runners a safe race and great success in this meaningful event.”

Secretary for Security Mr. Chris Tang also said: “I am delighted to once again be invited by Sowers Action to officiate at the ‘Challenging 12 Hours Charity Trail Marathon 2025’ and to witness the results of the runners’ dedication and hard training. Over the years, Sowers Action has been steadfast in supporting underprivileged children both in Hong Kong and overseas. In recent years, the organization has also refocused its efforts locally, including the establishment of a support centre in Sham Shui Po to assist grassroots families. This year, the event is expected to raise over one million Hong Kong dollars, a strong reflection of the city’s spirit of compassion and community engagement. In addition to the popular 3 km Family Run, I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the six disciplined services and two auxiliary services under the Security Bureau for forming multiple teams to take part in the 42 km race, together with youth uniformed groups — jointly passing on the spirit of charity and service. Every participant, regardless of ranking, has already made a meaningful contribution to children’s education through their actions. This truly embodies the event’s mission of ‘Changing Lives Through Running’.”

This year’s event raised funds for Sowers Action’s Education Assistance Program for Underprivileged Students. All proceeds will support initiatives improving learning conditions and educational facilities both locally and abroad. Past projects have funded teacher development, school renovation, and the purchase of learning equipment — enabling students from deprived backgrounds to continue their studies under better conditions. Sowers Action has provided educational support in mainland China, Hong Kong, Myanmar, and Nepal. As of June 2025, its total funding contributions have exceeded HK$794 million.

At the same time, the event promotes public awareness of mountain and outdoor safety. Since the HKSOS mobile application launch in January 2024, it has successfully assisted 247 individuals in distress, demonstrating the importance of safety knowledge in outdoor activities.

To encourage family engagement, this year’s race continued to feature the 3km Family Fun Run, enabling parents and children to enjoy outdoor exercise while supporting a good cause.Now in its 27th year, the Challenging 12 Hours Charity Trail Marathon has drawn over 40,000 total participants and raised more than HK$55 million for educational projects, benefiting over 500,000 children in need.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Riding the wave of AI-powered office transformation, Kuailu Tech announces a comprehensive upgrade to its Kuailu AI Meeting System. The system now offers enhanced voice recognition with role assignment, AI real-time transcription, enterprise-level smart templates, and decision tracking, improving meeting recording, analysis, and execution efficiency. This upgrade helps businesses transform from simple meeting minutes to intelligent decision-making.

“Kuailu Meeting not only understands every conversation, but ensures that each discussion is actionable.” — Chief Product Officer, Kuailu Tech

Addressing Modern Enterprise Meeting Challenges

Many organizations still face common meeting challenges: key decisions get lost during fast-paced discussions, meeting minutes note suggestions but lack assigned owners, and follow-up tasks often remain incomplete.

The upgraded Kuailu AI Meeting System leverages AI to turn meetings from passive note-taking into actionable outcomes.

Key Upgraded Features

  • Voice Recognition with Role Assignment: Every Statement Has an Owner
    The system automatically distinguishes speakers, clearly showing “who said what.”
    • Accurate Traceability: Each statement is tagged, with access to the original recording
    • Private Deployment: Voice data fully controlled, ensuring meeting security
    • Industry Keywords: Supports custom terminology to improve transcription accuracy
      Customer feedback: “Now, audit traceability is just a click away, no more digging through three-hour recordings.”
  • Enterprise Smart Templates: Customizable for Every Team
    Departments and scenarios can have tailored templates, created via a drag-and-drop editor. Supports tables, images, and voice annotations to make meeting minutes structured, standardized, and comprehensive.
    “The finance team uses a risk assessment template, and the HR team uses a training template—every meeting quickly produces the right minutes, saving significant time.”
  • Decision Tracking Loop: Ensuring Actionable Outcomes
    AI-generated minutes are directly linked to task execution: automatic to-do creation → clear owners and deadlines → real-time tracking → overdue reminders. Companies report task completion rates rising from 60% to 90%, solving the “discussed but not done” problem.

From Minutes to Decisions: Full-Process Upgrade

The upgraded Kuailu AI Meeting System goes beyond transcription to understand semantics, track tasks, and ensure decision execution—covering the full workflow: voice recognition → semantic understanding → decision implementation.

“We don’t aim to replace meetings with AI; we aim to make AI a smart assistant for enterprise decision-making.” — Chief Product Officer, Kuailu Tech

While many competitors remain at basic transcription, Kuailu Meeting stands out with voice recognition, smart templates, and decision tracking, delivering meetings that truly produce results.

LOS ANGELES / LONDON – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 November 2025 – Gaw Capital Partners, a leading multi-asset investment management firm, is issuing corrected information regarding the media coverage published on 31 October 2025 in PERE, titled “Gaw Capital shutters US, Europe institutional businesses”.

Correct Information are as follows:

  1. Gaw Capital US will continue to invest in the US as an investment manager/operator focusing on its tech centric home markets on the west coast. The recent acquisitions of 2 lender assisted, deep discounted offices in Bellefield Office Park in Bellevue, a fifteen-building office campus embedded in a nature-park setting near Bellevue CBD, and North Park, San Francisco, a unique office campus in the heart of Jackson Square, San Francisco, demonstrate our nimbleness and ability to track markets where we have expertise in deal sourcing and operational skill sets on the ground.
  2. Gaw Capital UK is still actively managing Lloyd’s Building, Harbour Exchange, Gilray House, Clerkenwell House in London under our separate accounts, and the hotel assets including Intercontinental Hotel, Porto and Hotel Infante Sagres, Porto. With the acquisition of the majority stake C2 Capital in Portugal in 2024, we are shifting our focus to Southern Europe and actively exploring investment opportunities in that region.
  3. There is a very minimal reduction in our headcounts in our US and UK offices. Gaw Capital focuses on ensuring all investor capital raised for the US institutional fund series and our assets under our separate accounts in UK and European Hospitality Fund exit in orderly and profitable manner.

Gaw Capital Partners is committed to transparency and accuracy in all communications and regrets any confusion or inconvenience the initial reporting may have caused our investors, business partners, stakeholders and the public. We have been in contact with PERE to request a correction to the headline of the article and it has already been revised to “Gaw Capital to wind down US, Europe institutional businesses”.
