MORROW founder invests US $156m and launches new flagship in Singapore as US $8 trillion longevity revolution ramps up

SINGAPORE, Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Entrepreneur Allen Law is to open MORROW, a 38,000 sq ft centre that empowers individuals to adopt a healthy lifestyle with a personalised roadmap, supported by a team of professionals and coaches, as part of his global mission to increase the human healthspan. US $156m (SGD $200m) will be invested in opening MORROW locations over the next five years, with US $15.6M (SGD $20m) invested in the initial set-up and technology of an initial flagship in Singapore, which will be located inside the 80,000 sq ft Longevity World at 10 Coleman Street.

Entrepreneur Allen Law is building an international ecosystem of companies and brands as part of his global mission to increase the human healthspan.
Entrepreneur Allen Law is building an international ecosystem of companies and brands as part of his global mission to increase the human healthspan.

The launch of MORROW represents a landmark moment as the world transitions into a US $8 trillion longevity revolution[1] that has the potential to transform every part of human life. In March 2025 UBS declared that “longevity,” alongside AI, will be one of the most significant transformational innovation opportunities that will drive equity markets in the coming decade.

MORROW will break away from existing models that typically cater to the ultra-wealthy by making high-quality services more accessible to a much broader clientele. MORROW will utilise technology and proprietary AI to provide a unified and centralised hub of highly personalised services. MORROW’s AI platform will continuously learn from lifestyle patterns to enable early intervention; as well as fueling a research engine that will produce anonymised lifestyle habits data in collaboration with leading global universities.

MORROW has placed trust at the core of its proposition, supported by a team of experts[2]. The MORROW leadership team and experts include: Dr. Miina Ă–hman, MD, PhD, (University of Helsinki), DipIBLM, a physician-scientist specialising in cardiometabolic disease and lifestyle interventions; Chief Operating Officer Louis Island, MBA, MPH, B.Physio, who is a pioneer in building integrated care platforms; and Head of Health Coaching Simon Matthews FACLM, MHlthSc, DipIBLM, NBC-HWC, ICF-PCC, who is a global expert in health behaviour change and positive psychology. In addition, Chief Technology Officer Yaron Turpaz, Ph.D., MBA, leads the development of MORROW’s digital wellness and analytics platform, bringing extensive experience in pharma, biotech, genomics, and precision health solutions enabled by machine learning and AI; whilst Claudia Correia, Head of Nutrition & Dietitian at MORROW, has over 16 years of experience and has helped more than 10,000 people with nutrition change.

The MORROW customer journey begins with a detailed diagnostic assessment to measure the gap between their current and optimal health status. This forms the foundation for a personalised plan powered by data and delivered through a blend of expert coaching and technologies including AI, wearables, continuous monitoring, and integrated feedback platforms. Together, these platforms will enable real-time lifestyle optimisation. Individuals will also have access to shared group consultations, community engagement, and other technologies to empower them to take ownership of their health.

Early bookings for MORROW will open in September 2025 at www.morrow.health and the first new flagship centre will open in Singapore in Q4 of 2025.

Entrepreneur Allen Law is democratising access by building and rapidly scaling an international ecosystem of companies and brands focused on fitness, holistic wellness, and evidence-based interventions as part of his global mission to increase the human healthspan. 

Allen Law is Principal at Seveno Capital, which backs early-and growth-stage ventures. He is also Co-Founder of MOVE [REPEAT], a collective of boutique fitness facilities with over 50 studios in 5 countries, which plans to double in size by 2026. He is Chairman and investor at REVL Training, which aims to double its footprint and to grow revenue sixfold by 2028. Allen Law is also the founder of the award-winning Park Hotel Group, which he grew from a single property in Hong Kong into a regional luxury hospitality portfolio.

Allen Law, Chief Executive Officer of MORROW, said:

“The World Health Organization estimates that one in six people will be aged over 60 by 2032.[3] This necessitates a new focus on optimising lifelong wellbeing and vitality. MORROW will promote a model of ‘lifelong health’ – where wellbeing is maintained and restored through science, human connection, and innovation. We’re planning to transform how people live, age, recover, and thrive – no matter their background or starting point.”

Dr. Miina Öhman MD, PhD, (University of Helsinki), DipIBL, said:

“It is essential for the world to transition toward a model of sustainable healthcare, with an emphasis on prevention. This demands that we bring lifestyle interventions and the support for health behaviour change to the forefront of care for everybody, not just for the ultra-wealthy.”

Angelalign Technology Announces First-Half 2025 Results While Increasing Investments in Legal, Supply Chain and Data Security

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Angelalign Technology Inc. (“Angel” or the “Company”) (6699.HK) announced its interim results for the first half of 2025. The Company delivered solid performance for the first six months of the year.

Interim Report
Interim Report

In the first half of 2025, Angel reported a year-over-year revenue increase of 33.1% to US$161.4 million, with gross profit of US$100.6 million and adjusted net profit of US$19.5 million. Global clear aligner case volume grew 47.7% year-over-year to approximately 225,800 cases.

The growth in case shipments, along with efficient operations at treatment planning centers and clear aligner manufacturing sites, drove year-over-year improvements in revenue, gross profit, and operating profit. The Company’s profitability for the Reporting Period also benefited from stringent expense management in anticipation of an uncertain tariff environment, including the delay in recruitment of certain sales and marketing, clinical support and customer service personnel, as well as delay in operating our treatment planning centers and manufacturing sites outside of Mainland China.

Angel is strategically increasing long-term investments in multiple key areas to build a more sustainable international presence. The Company expects to increase investment in sales and marketing, clinical support and customer service, setting up and operating ex-China treatment planning centers and manufacturing sites, continuously strengthening legal capabilities to advance intellectual property (“IP”) strategy and compliance, and further upgrading its data security infrastructure.

In markets outside Mainland China, Angel’s case volume increased 103.5% year-over-year to 117,200 cases. The strong growth reflects both the low base in the previous year and initial success in new markets. Angel broadened its reach by providing high-quality treatment planning, reliable deliveries, and continuous educational training programs with key opinion leaders (KOLs). 

In Mainland China market, Angel’s case volume rose 14% year-over-year to about 108,600 cases. The Company implemented a forward-looking growth strategy, prioritizing early orthodontic treatment and emerging markets as key drivers of sustainable growth.

In the first half of 2025, Angel introduced innovative products and solutions focused on early orthodontic treatment and complex cases, while also incorporating intelligent initial consultations, and treatment monitoring tools into its solutions. The Company conducted research with several universities to produce key clinical innovations.

The company’s IP strategy and compliance remain core priorities. As Angel has expanded globally, it has made considerable investments in strengthening its legal capabilities. The company plans to continue its history of product innovation, while vigorously defending its IP rights.

To meet growing market demand, Angel is building a world-class, intelligent manufacturing system that prioritizes user-centricity, environmental sustainability, and scalability. The Company plans to establish or expand manufacturing and treatment planning facilities in key locations worldwide, which will ensure a timely and stable supply of products and services for its customers globally. As an example, treatment planning centers in Brazil and Southeast Asia are currently providing treatment planning services for the United States.

The Company has also devoted substantial resources to upgrading data security infrastructure and operational processes to ensure compliance with data security and privacy regulations in all major markets. This represents a significant investment so far and will remain as an ongoing effort.

Fox Hu, CEO of Angel, stated: “We remain confident in the long-term growth prospects of the global clear aligner industry. Key priorities include scaling production of aligners and treatment plans, enhancing clinical capabilities, continuing our history of product innovation with appropriate IP protection, increasing our investments in compliance while driving sustainable growth across all regions.”

About Angelalign Technology Inc.
Founded in 2003 and celebrating 1.5 million smiles, Angelalign Technology Inc. provides digital technology-driven clear aligner products and services to meet the needs of dental professionals and patients worldwide. The Company’s innovative products and technical services have established it as a prominent player in the orthodontics industry. In 2021, Angelalign Technology Inc. was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In 2023, the Company launched its global expansion strategy, with its products and services now reaching over 50 countries and regions. Learn more at angelaligner.com.

Africa Premier AI Conference 2025 Opens in Mombasa with a Call for Digital Sovereignty and Inclusive Innovation

MOMBASA, Kenya, Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Africa Premier AI Conference 2025 (APAIC 2025) officially opened today in Mombasa with a powerful keynote speech by Mary Kerema, Secretary ICT, E-Government and Digital Economy, Ministry of ICT and the Digital Economy, Kenya, who called on African leaders, innovators, and partners to shape a digital future rooted in African values, talent, and global collaboration.

Africa Premier AI Conference 2025 Opens in Mombasa. Leaders Unite for Digital Sovereignty & Inclusive Innovation Across the Continent

Speaking before ministers, entrepreneurs, youth leaders, and international partners, Kerema declared the start of a “Decade of Intelligence” for Africa, emphasizing that artificial intelligence (AI) must be intentional, inclusive, and ethically grounded to truly transform lives across the continent.

“Technology, however advanced, is only truly powerful when it transforms real lives—especially those on the margins,” said Kerema. “Digital sovereignty is not about isolation. It is about agency—the right and ability for African people, institutions, and governments to shape, govern, and benefit from AI systems on their own terms.”

Kerema highlighted the opportunities and challenges Africa faces on its digital journey:

  • Challenges: Infrastructure gaps, skills shortages, and siloed data.
  • Strengths: Africa’s unmatched diversity, resilience, and local innovation in AI-driven health, education, and fintech.

She praised African entrepreneurs and global partners working together to co-create solutions designed for local realities—systems that are modular, explainable, privacy-respecting, and inclusive of multiple languages and communities.

MindHYVE.ai Co-Sponsorship and Launch of Agentic AI

This year’s conference is proudly co-sponsored by MindHYVE.ai, a leading USA AI innovation company. Bill Faruki, Founder and CEO of MindHYVE.ai, introduced the company’s groundbreaking framework Agentic AI—a new paradigm for intelligent systems designed to empower users through autonomy, explainability, and ethical alignment.

Faruki emphasized that Agentic AI reflects Africa’s values of collaboration and inclusivity, providing tools for governments, enterprises, and communities to design, configure, and own their digital future.

Commitment to Youth, Women, and Partnerships

The keynote also underscored Africa’s youth and women as the architects of this future, with investments in upskilling, women-in-AI forums, and digital public infrastructure forming a central pillar of the strategy.

Kerema urged participants to move beyond rhetoric to actionable partnerships, measuring success by real community impact:

  • Ethical AI aligned with African values.
  • Policies that encourage innovation and inclusion.
  • Platforms that empower teachers, health workers, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

Concluding her address, Kerema officially opened APAIC 2025 with a vision of Africa as a leader—not just adopter—in the global AI revolution:

“Let us leave this conference not only inspired but equipped and committed to accelerating Africa’s journey to a digital future where we are not just users, but leaders. If you want to go far, go together.”

About APAIC 2025

The Africa Premier AI Conference (APAIC) is the continent’s leading forum for AI dialogue, policy, and innovation. Gathering leaders from government, business, academia, and civil society, APAIC 2025 serves as a platform to shape Africa’s role in the global digital transformation.

As a national-level talent evaluation system, CATTI has, for more than 20 years, remained closely aligned with China’s international communications needs. To meet the goal and the specific requirements of the state for evaluating translation professionals, CATTI has set clear professional standards for evaluating translators and interpreters, established a national benchmark for talent assessment, and brought together top talent and industry resources to support exchanges between China and other countries.

To promote reciprocal international recognition of its results, CATTI held its first overseas Russian-language exams in Belarus and Russia in 2019. Exams for English and Portuguese were introduced in Macao, China in 2021, followed by English exams in Hong Kong, China in 2022.

Registration opened Aug. 18, and overseas candidates may choose their nearest site to take the exam.

The CATTI test material draws from real-world translation and interpretation scenarios across fields including international politics, economics, history, culture, science and technology. The broad-content based exam evaluates candidates’ ability to deliver precise translation and interpretation while adapting to different cultural contexts. It aims to cultivate translation professionals with practical skills.

CATTI is a professional accreditation. But it also serves as recognition of language proficiency and a driving force to promote cross-cultural communications. The exam provides a platform for global language professionals to demonstrate their skills and serves as a bridge for linguistic and cultural exchanges worldwide.
