HONG KONG, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HKSH Medical Group (HKSH) introduced Hong Kong’s only and the Greater Bay Area’s first proton therapy system in 2023, after two decades of planning and preparation. Now that the HKSH Proton Therapy Centre has been in operation for two years, following the “Proton Therapy Joint Training Course” co-organised with the National Cancer Center in Beijing this June and the initiation of the ten-month “HKSH Cancer Centre Proton Therapy Training Programme” in August, HKSH is hosting the 5^th Annual Conference of the Asia-Oceania Particle Therapy Co-operative Group (PTCOG-AO Conference) from 7 to 9 November 2025, the first-in-Hong Kong global landmark event in Proton Therapy for advancing precision cancer treatment.

The three-day PTCOG-AO Conference will take place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and HKSH Proton Therapy Centre with the theme of “Advancing Particle Therapy with Greater Precision and Image-Guidance”. With Hong Kong Tourism Board, InvestHK and nearly 30 local and regional major players in healthcare as supporting organisations, the PTCOG-AO Conference will feature seminars and expert lectures, showcasing the latest technologies, clinical data, and success cases in proton therapy. Global experts will explore innovative approaches to precision cancer treatment, further elevating medical standards to bring new hope for cancer patients. There will also be exhibits from leading industry companies showcasing the latest particle technology.

Mr. Wyman LI, Director of Li Shu Fan Medical Foundation, Chief Operating Officer of HKSH Medical Group and Director of Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, remarked, “Upholding the mission of the Li Shu Fan Medical Foundation, HKSH is dedicated to advancing medical education, medical research, and medical charity, while providing world-class medical services and fostering innovation for societal progress and people’s livelihood. HKSH firmly believes that talent and technology are equally important. Therefore, when introducing proton therapy, we sent our medical professionals to undergo advanced training at the Mayo Clinic in the United States so as to build a top-tier multidisciplinary team. Over the past two years, the HKSH Proton Therapy Centre has treated more than 500 patients, accumulating invaluable experience and insights.

HONG KONG, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — XTransfer, World’s Leading B2B Cross-Border Trade Payment Platform, announced at the 138^th Canton Fair that from January to September this year, 75.9% of the platform’s overseas collections came from emerging markets in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Emerging markets have become a new blue ocean for foreign trade enterprises expanding overseas, providing vital support for foreign trade growth. The continuous improvement of cross-border payment infrastructure is also offering strong safeguards for that growth.

On the first day of the 138^th Canton Fair, Bill Deng, Founder and CEO of XTransfer, participated in the thematic forum “Seminar on Enhancing the Level of Trade Digitalisation”. He stated, “Based on a recent sample survey of 700,000 SMEs on our platform, there are tremendous opportunities in emerging Asia, Africa, and Latin America markets. Notably, Africa has become the hottest emerging export market, with business prospects worth tapping. Developing opportunities in markets of developing countries is a path China’s foreign trade must continue to pursue. We will keep building secure and trustworthy financial infrastructure so that companies, regardless of size or location, can enjoy the same safe and reliable cross-border financial services and expand globally without worry.”

Bill added, “For foreign trade firms entering emerging markets, logistics, information, and mobility are mature, but capital flows are the main hurdle. Weak financial infrastructure, unstable payment channels, and underground banking in developing countries make safe, compliant, and efficient fund repatriation critical.”

From January to September, XTransfer’s collections from Asia, Africa, and Latin America grew 123.6% year-on-year, Africa 369.1%, Southeast Asia 102.2%, and Latin America 93%, far outpacing China customs export growth, showing strong demand for secure cross-border payments. To address this, XTransfer launched “Local Collection Accounts”, enabling exporters to open destination-country accounts so overseas buyers can pay directly in local currency.

At the 138th Canton Fair, Ms Li from a Shenzhen trading company opened XTransfer local collection accounts in Nigeria and Ghana. She said, “Exports to Africa are surging, but payments were slow and costly due to bank intermediaries. With local collection accounts, funds can arrive nearly in real time and intermediary fees are reduced, improving cash turnover.”

Mr Liu from a Xiamen firm added, “Local collection accounts allow us to quote directly in local currencies, simplifying negotiations, speeding deal closures, and avoiding delays or defaults when buyers can’t access enough U.S. dollars.” Both leaders report faster collections and greater operational efficiency

Amid the steady development of China’s foreign trade and diversification of trade partners, XTransfer has served over 700,000 corporate clients, with overseas clients accounting for more than 47%. Its local collection account coverage now spans Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South Korea, covering 80% of countries and regions worldwide. This year, coverage expanded to include Mexico, Brazil, Ghana, South Africa, Turkey, and Egypt.
