MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse attract more than 1,700 industry professionals

Global e-commerce and brand experts explore growth opportunities

HONG KONG, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse successfully concluded at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). The premier annual e-commerce and brand marketing events drew a vibrant crowd of more than 1,700 industry professionals from 22 countries and regions, who gathered in Hong Kong to navigate the ever-evolving marketing landscape and redefine the blueprint for business growth.

Driving brand evolution through innovation

Welcoming delegates to the conferences, Sophia Chong, Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “Rapid advances in digital technologies are allowing e-commerce to reshape the market landscape, transforming how businesses reach consumers, transact and scale. From AI-driven personalisation to social commerce, the pace of change is unprecedented, and with this change comes significant opportunity. The theme for this year’s events, “Generate New Growth“, challenges us to seize these opportunities by exploring how fresh ideas, new technologies and bold strategies can power the next wave of momentum.”

E-commerce experts unpack the latest AI trends

This year’s MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse staged 30 thematic sessions, with a comprehensive agenda exploring topics including “Growth leaders”, “E-commerce new horizons”, “Cutting edge marketing dynamics/new market potential”, ” Social media best practices”, the “Meet the celebrity dialogue series”, and “PR disasters and opportunities”, complemented by a series of digital marketing and e-commerce workshops. More than 85 esteemed e-commerce pioneers, brand leaders, marketing experts and innovative entrepreneurs from around the globe were invited to dissect the latest e-commerce innovations, global marketing trends and consumer opportunities, exploring how to cultivate new growth in a rapidly shifting marketing ecosystem.

When discussing the development and outlook for e-commerce, multiple industry experts at the conferences highlighted the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) applications and its latest trends. Terry Li, Vertical General Manager of Smart Retail, Tencent, noted that “AI is redefining digital commerce, and integrating AI into enterprise architecture properly is key to success. It will not destroy creativity; instead, it can inspire creativity and enable personalised customer experiences.” Bruce Pan, Cross-border Industry Operations Manager of TikTok Shop US, added that the real competitive edge will lie not in generating more content faster, but in combining creative direction, understanding the competitive edges of products and emotional storytelling.

Quick commerce charts a new course for e-commerce

Today’s consumers have an insatiable appetite for convenience and personalisation, compelling brands to accelerate the transformation of their e-marketing strategies. Precision data and AI are fundamentally rewiring consumer experiences. Patrick Zhang, Senior BD Manager of Amazon Global Selling, pointed out that the next phase of globalisation will be defined by how quickly and accurately brands can understand local consumer needs and translate data insights into high-quality growth. Yatong Qiu, Vice President of Taobao & Tmall Group, Alibaba, highlighted how brands and merchants can deploy agile merchandising strategies, real-time digital marketing and speed-oriented approaches to upgrade supply chains and streamline order fulfilment, catering to the modern consumer’s desire for “everything, instantly”. And the “Decoding the Gateway to ASEAN: Cross Border Growth and Market Entry Strategies” session explored tactics for entering the ASEAN market. Speakers including Luca Barni, SVP, Commercial at Lazada Group, shared battle-tested experiences, providing a practical compass for enterprises eyeing ASEAN e-tailing expansion.

Visionary insights from distinguished brand leaders

As the consumer market pivots towards experience-driven models, “taste” and “perception” have become the ultimate battlegrounds for brand competitiveness. Brands are no longer merely delivering product value; they are curating a lifestyle. The “Growth leaders” series at MarketingPulse was inaugurated by Pauline Brown, former Chairman of LVMH North America, who delivered a presentation address on “Aesthetic Intelligence”, illustrating how sensory management and design thinking can elevate brand value and customer experience. “Economic inequality, environmental threats, and the rise of AI make the pursuit of aesthetic intelligence more important than ever,” Ms Brown said. “While AI enhances efficiency, consumers care about brands creating authentic sensory pleasure. Only people can truly convey a clear, well-articulated vision that resonates with customers.”

Haijun Wang, Founder, Chief Executive Officer & Chief Experience Officer of Atour Lifestyle Holdings, shared his philosophy on weaving lifestyle experiences into hotel and lifestyle brand management. By extending the “accommodation experience” into new retail, he demonstrated how to forge brand identity through lifestyle sensibilities and customer resonance. Mr Wang believes that when both service and space strike an emotional chord, the resulting customer loyalty offers an enduring competitive edge. “In the experience economy, emotional value and authentic customer advocacy are becoming more important, making experience not only a point of differentiation, but also a source of sustainable brand growth and long-term development potential,” he said.

As younger generations emerge as the dominant consumer force, the dynamic between brands and youth demographics is being entirely redefined. JinHee Lee, Chief Operating Officer of South Korea’s Olive Young, shared the brand’s triumphant journey from local flagship to a global powerhouse. He showcased how this Korean beauty titan leverages seamless omnichannel operations and data-driven marketing strategies, using technology as a compass to build international competitiveness. “In order for a beauty brand to go global, it’s essential to develop a marketing platform that combines digital promotion and offline data,” he explained. “By integrating physical stores with online apps, we have built a seamless omnichannel ecosystem that continuously adapts to our customers’ lifestyles and needs. providing real time updates on product stock and promotions.”

Crafting an immersive and unforgettable shopping experience to amplify marketing efficacy and fortify long-term brand influence has always been the golden rule for major international brands. Krzysztof Andrzej Kowal, Global Retail Design Director at YSL Beauty, L’Oréal Luxe, took the stage in the session “The Poetics of Branding: Weaving Story, Design, and Emotion into Iconic Narratives”. He shared how to transform physical retail spaces into the ultimate storytelling canvas through the alchemy of “Design × Story × Emotion”. He said that to build emotional connections with customers, “physical stores should transcend showcase roles to become temples of experience and content factories that generate authentic and multi-sensory moments. By blending current trends like Y2K and nostalgia, we build up our persona based on new trends while maintaining our brand culture. At the same time, we maintain a cohesive global identity while adapting to local cultures.”

Creative social content ignites brand resonance

In an era saturated with content and dictated by algorithms, brands and creators must rebuild emotional bridges through authenticity and the power of storytelling. This year’s conferences approached the subject through the lenses of film, television, social media and content creation, exploring how culturally resonant content can captivate audiences and amplify brand value.

Actor and “Threads Admin” Ng Siu-hin joined forces with Kenie Kwok, Creative Strategy Lead at Meta, in the dialogue “Threads for Consumer and Audience Engagement”, comprehensively decoding the “traffic matrix” for the platform. Continuing the creative thread, the “Meet the celebrity dialogue series” invited actor and singer-songwriter Louis Cheung to share his creative odyssey and breakthrough moments. Spanning music to on-screen performances, Louis underscored the importance of staying true to one’s original aspirations and authentic expression, inspiring brands and creators to co-create content with genuine warmth. Meanwhile, content creator and MUSE TV founder Mayao shared his ingenious use of disruptive social media promotional tactics to market music and content, leaving an indelible mark on the public consciousness.

As AI permeates every aspect of the marketing and design sectors, creative thinking faces an unprecedented paradigm shift. Award-winning creative minds, including Stephen Rogers, Group Creative Director at Droga5 from Ireland, explored this dynamic in the session “Creativity & AI: Human vs Artificial Mind“. The speakers revealed that human imagination and intelligent technology are engaged in a symbiotic dance rather than a zero-sum game, with industry pioneers sharing how to masterfully navigate the shifting boundaries between human intuition and AI.

Practical insights and business matchmaking foster cross-sector synergy

Beyond the main forums and InnoTalks series, the events introduced a new feature, “e-Commerce Connect”, that brought together nearly 30 local and international exhibitors to showcase the latest one-stop e-commerce solutions. A series of digital marketing and e-tailing workshops was also held, at which industry experts imparted strategies for AI integration, cross-border market navigation, and brand influence elevation, arming participating brands with actionable intelligence. The organiser curated multiple networking events and arranged more than 170 one-on-one business matchmaking sessions for attendees and exhibitors. In addition, singer James Ng graced the event with a live performance during the conferences’ Happy Hour session.

Widespread industry support drives sector advancement

This year’s MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse received robust support from numerous organisations and industry bodies, including the Association of Accredited Advertising Agencies of Hong Kong (HK4As), the Hong Kong Internet & Ecommerce Association, the Hong Kong Federation of E-Commerce (HKFEC), the Hong Kong Live E-Commerce Association, the Hong Kong Public Relations Professionals’ Association, IAB Hong Kong and PRHK, providing attendees with invaluable market intelligence and unique perspectives.

Forum highlights available via Video on Demand for one month

The Video on Demand pass for MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse is available from today, 20 March, until 19 April. Industry professionals are encouraged to leverage the platform’s versatile features during this period to revisit the wealth of insights shared across the events.

KuCoin Institutional Introduces Quarterly VIP Level Shield to Strengthen Stability for VIP Traders

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KuCoin Insititutional today announced the launch of the Quarterly VIP Level Shield, a new structural loyalty mechanism designed to provide greater stability and protection for the platform’s high-tier traders and institutional clients.

The initiative introduces a quarterly protection framework for VIP5 and above users, ensuring that short-term market volatility or temporary changes in trading activity do not immediately trigger significant VIP tier downgrades. Instead, KuCoin implements a gradual and deferred adjustment mechanism, allowing loyal traders to maintain key benefits while navigating market cycles.

The new mechanism reflects KuCoin’s broader strategy to protect performance, stabilize loyalty, and retain VIP traders in an increasingly competitive exchange environment.

Supporting Long-Term Traders Through Market Cycles

Unlike short-term promotional campaigns, the Quarterly VIP Level Shield is designed as a structural enhancement to KuCoin’s VIP ecosystem. It recognizes users who have previously demonstrated meaningful trading activity or asset commitment, providing them with additional flexibility during periods of market fluctuation.

Through this mechanism, VIP users will no longer experience immediate multi-tier downgrades if their trading activity temporarily falls below VIP requirements. Instead, KuCoin will apply a controlled downgrade pace of no more than one level every 30 days, alongside quarterly minimum protection levels that safeguard core VIP privileges during the quarter.

A More Stable VIP Framework for Professional Traders

The Quarterly VIP Level Shield is designed to support high-frequency traders, institutional participants, and high-AUM clients, who are often sensitive to abrupt fee structure changes or sudden privilege adjustments. By reducing volatility in VIP level adjustments, the mechanism helps provide more predictable trading conditions and a more stable fee structure for long-term traders.

“Professional traders and institutions value stability and predictability in their trading environment,” said Tika Lum, Head of Global Business Development at KuCoin. “The Quarterly VIP Level Shield reflects our commitment to supporting long-term traders on KuCoin by providing a more flexible VIP framework — one that better supports ongoing participation, recognizes sustained engagement, and helps users navigate changing market conditions with greater confidence.”

KuCoin expects the initiative to further strengthen VIP loyalty, stabilize trading activity among top-tier clients, and reinforce the platform’s competitiveness in the global exchange landscape.

Strengthening the KuCoin VIP Ecosystem

As digital asset markets continue to evolve, KuCoin remains focused on building a client-centric institutional infrastructure that rewards loyalty, supports long-term participation, and enhances trading stability. The Quarterly VIP Level Shield represents another step toward creating a more resilient and trader-friendly ecosystem for professional market participants worldwide.

Please find the full details of the Quarterly VIP Level Shield.

Manulife Named “Asia’s Best Insurance Provider for Wealth Management” by Euromoney

HONG KONG, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Manulife today announced it has been named “Asia’s Best Insurance Provider for Wealth Management” at the 2026 Euromoney Private Banking Awards. The award recognizes Manulife’s excellence in delivering tailored and innovative wealth and legacy planning solutions to High-Net-Worth (HNW) individuals and families across the region.

The win reflects the company’s strong growth momentum, innovative product suite, unmatched cross-border service capabilities, and deep relationships with its distribution partners. It comes as demand for HNW wealth planning services continues to grow across the region. According to McKinsey analysis, an estimated US$5.8 trillion in assets is projected to transfer between generations across Asia-Pacific by 2030*, while regional financial wealth is expanding at approximately 9% CAGR through 2029#. This growth is being driven in part by a rising segment of global Asian citizens—internationally mobile families managing assets across multiple jurisdictions—who require cross-border insurance and legacy planning solutions at scale.

“We are honoured to be recognized by Euromoney as Asia’s leading life insurance provider for Wealth Management. This award reflects our continued commitment to meeting the unique needs of our HNW clients and partners. As intergenerational wealth transfer accelerates, we see a new generation of clients—today’s global Asian citizens—who prioritize flexibility, geographic diversification, and holistic solutions that combine wealth planning with health and longevity. Our strategy is built to meet these exact needs, leveraging our multi-hub platform and omni-channel distribution to deliver best-in-class solutions that help our clients protect their legacy and secure their future across borders and generations.”

— Bonnie Qiu, CEO, Global High-Net-Worth, Manulife

During the award assessment period, Manulife achieved high double-digit sales growth in business generated from private banks and international brokers serving HNW clients in Asia. Manulife’s success is underpinned by a comprehensive product proposition and policy structuring expertise, as well as strong underwriting capacity backed by its strong relationships with re-insurers.

In June 2025, Manulife was ranked first in the life insurance sector for artificial intelligence (AI) maturity in the inaugural Evident AI Index for Insurance, ranking in the top five across the insurance industry overall. Applied directly to its HNW business, Manulife has embedded generative AI into the HNW underwriting process, significantly reducing turnaround times for large and complex cases.

Manulife’s HNW strategy integrates its four hubs—Hong Kong, Singapore, Bermuda, and Dubai—to provide seamless multi-jurisdictional access and specialist local execution for globally mobile families.

“As HNW clients’ needs in Hong Kong become increasingly sophisticated, our role has evolved beyond product provision. As a leading international financial centre, Hong Kong continues to attract HNW families with complex wealth and legacy planning needs. By bringing together our diversified distribution model, bespoke innovative solutions, and strong underwriting capabilities—supported by our Private Client Wealth Planning team—we are able to provide integrated guidance on complex matters such as trust and legacy structuring. We are uniquely positioned to help globally mobile families protect and grow their wealth across generations.”

— Patrick Graham, CEO, Manulife Hong Kong & Macau

The business also saw strong momentum in Singapore, another key pillar of its regional HNW strategy.

“Singapore’s reputation as a secure and stable wealth hub continues to attract HNW families with increasingly complex needs, and they require an insurer with proven capabilities. Our recent issuance of a landmark US$300 million policy demonstrates the market’s confidence in our financial strength and deep technical expertise. It underscores our ability to structure and underwrite large, sophisticated cases, while helping high net worth families address their wealth and legacy priorities with tailored, well structured solutions.”

— Benoit Meslet, CEO, Manulife Singapore

Looking ahead, Manulife plans to continue its investment in the HNW segment by expanding its service capabilities across the region, driving ongoing product innovation with a focus on flexibility and liquidity, and further building out its health and longevity ecosystem.

Everything You Need to Know Before You Start Trading Gold – The Complete JustMarkets Review

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As 2026 unfolds, gold continues to show the same resilient behavior that has long made it a preferred asset during uncertain economic cycles. While short-term fluctuations are common, the metal has generally held its ground amid shifting interest-rate expectations and geopolitical concerns.


For beginners, this mix of stability and volatility can be both appealing and confusing. Understanding what affects gold prices and what tools you need to navigate the market is essential before placing your first trade.

Understanding the Basics of Gold Trading

Gold trading isn’t simply about predicting whether the price will rise or fall. Traders need to grasp how macroeconomic data, inflation trends, currency movements, and global events influence the metal.

A common takeaway from a JustMarkets review is that new traders often overlook the importance of studying these external factors. Gold tends to react strongly to interest-rate decisions, particularly from the U.S. Federal Reserve, and to shifts in the U.S. dollar. Beginners should learn to follow these indicators before they begin making decisions with real money.

 Another point worth noting is the range of ways you can trade gold. Some prefer spot trading or CFDs for short-term strategies, while others lean toward longer-term approaches. Each method has its own risk profile, so clarifying your goals, whether hedging, speculating, or diversifying, is a step that shouldn’t be skipped.

Choosing the Right Environment for Trading

Before stepping into the market, traders need a stable trading environment. This includes a secure platform, access to educational resources, and tools that are easy to navigate.

According to insights often highlighted in a JustMarkets review, beginners tend to benefit from platforms that allow them to start with a small budget and gradually scale up their exposure. These elements don’t guarantee success, but they do help reduce early mistakes by making it easier to analyze the market and manage risk.

A user-friendly interface also matters more than many realize. When you’re new to trading, identifying trends, placing orders, or adjusting stop-loss levels should feel straightforward rather than intimidating. Even a small delay or a confusing layout can influence decision-making, especially in a fast-moving gold market.

Risk Management and Emotional Control

Even though gold is often viewed as a “safe-haven,” trading it still involves significant risk. Beginners should create a clear plan: how much they can afford to risk, when to exit a trade, and how to avoid emotional decisions.

Based on observations commonly mentioned in a JustMarkets review, new traders tend to underestimate how quickly gold can move during major news events. Using risk-management tools (such as stop-loss orders) provides essential protection, especially when starting out.

It’s also important to track your performance through a trading journal. Documenting each trade forces you to reflect on your strategy, recognize recurring mistakes, and refine your approach over time.

Final Thoughts

Trading gold in 2026 offers opportunity, but only if approached with preparation and realistic expectations. A basic understanding of market drivers, access to reliable tools, and a disciplined mindset can make the learning curve far smoother. With patience and consistent study, beginners can navigate the gold market with greater confidence and clarity.

China’s 2026 Government Work Report Indicates a New Cycle of Quality Enhancement for Commercial Real Estate Stock

Cushman & Wakefield Interpretation Report Highlights Eight Impact Areas for Real Estate Market


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 March 2026 – Global real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield has released its China’s Two Sessions 2026: Interpreting the Government Work Report publication. Against a backdrop of increasingly complex domestic and international conditions, the 2026 government work report outlines more flexible and adaptive targets for national economic development. These policy directions will have a profound influence on the real estate sector. The market’s transition from focusing on incremental expansion to revitalizing and optimizing existing assets — combined with the accelerating integration of artificial intelligence across industries —will reshape market structures, redefine asset values, and reconfigure spatial development patterns in far-reaching ways.

Macroeconomic Stability Strengthens the Foundation for Commercial Real Estate Stabilization

China’s core economic targets for 2026 are clearly defined, with GDP growth set between 4.5%–5%, balancing the dual objectives of stabilizing growth and adjusting structure. This forms a strong macro foundation for the stabilization and gradual recovery of the commercial real estate sector. Between 2024 and 2025, GDP growth remained steady at around 5.0%. For 2026, the fiscal deficit ratio is maintained at a relatively high 4.0%, with RMB4.4 trillion in local special‑purpose bonds. The quota for ultra‑long‑term special treasury bonds is further expanded to RMB1.3 trillion. Coordinated fiscal and monetary policies will continue to support leasing demand recovery and improved business sentiment in the commercial property market.

Accelerated Industry Transformation Sees Quality Enhancement of Existing Assets Become the Core Theme

The report emphasizes a three‑pronged approach of “city‑specific policies to control new supply, reduce inventory, and improve quality”, while encouraging diverse channels to revitalize existing housing stock and advancing the construction of “good homes.” This marks an accelerated shift from incremental expansion to quality enhancement of existing assets. In 2024, China’s real estate value‑added as a proportion of GDP was just 6.3%, far below the 12.56% average of developed economies. This reflects a structural imbalance characterized by heavy investment in development and insufficient focus on services and leasing. The ongoing transition will make asset management, property services, and leasing operations increasingly central to asset valuation.

Consumption‑Driven Momentum Creates a New Growth Window for Retail Properties

Consumption‑boosting policies are injecting new vitality into the retail property market. The government work report allocates RMB250 billion of ultra‑long‑term special treasury bonds to support product upgrades and replacement, complemented by RMB100 billion in coordinated fiscal‑financial funds — creating a RMB350 billion consumption stimulus package. In 2025, China’s total retail sales of consumer goods exceeded RMB50 trillion, with per‑capita GDP reaching USD13,953, signaling a critical inflection point where service‑oriented consumption accelerates. With services currently accounting for just 46.1% of consumption, there remains significant room for growth. Policies promoting “high‑quality service consumption” and “new consumption scenarios,” combined with the promotion of staggered school holidays in spring and autumn, will create opportunities for high‑quality shopping centers focused on experiential and social retail formats.

AI‑Powered Intelligent Economy Drives an Upgrade in Office Market Demand

The rapid evolution of the intelligent economy is reshaping office market demand. The work report calls for expansion of “AI+,” wider deployment of intelligent agents, and accelerated development of large‑scale computing clusters, indicating the transition of AI into commercialized and scaled applications. In 2025, China’s core digital economy industries accounted for more than 10.5% of GDP, with the target set at 12.5% during the 15th Five‑Year Plan. AI‑related companies are expected to become key new leasing drivers in 2026. This will also stimulate a fresh investment cycle for data centers and industrial parks, with core computing hub cities — in the Beijing‑Tianjin‑Hebei region, Yangtze River Delta, and the Guangdong‑Hong Kong‑Macao Greater Bay Area — set to benefit first.

Capital Market Reforms Expand, Enabling a Full “Investment–Financing–Management–Exit” Cycle for Commercial Real Estate

Capital market reforms continue to support expansion in commercial real estate investment. The work report calls for deepened reform of comprehensive investment and financing mechanisms, expanded exit channels for private equity and venture capital, and accelerated growth of the public REITs market. By 2025, China’s public REITs issuance exceeded RMB210 billion, making it the largest REITs market in Asia. In 2026, commercial public REITs enter their first year of development, with pilots extended to hotels and commercial offices. This establishes a “dual‑engine” landscape of “infrastructure + commercial real estate” and enables a more complete investment‑financing‑management‑exit cycle

Further Opening‑Up Boosts Cross‑Border Logistics and Foreign Investment Demand

China’s opening‑up objectives in 2026 feature two core characteristics: expanding services sector openness to attract foreign investment, and promoting standardized, high‑quality development of cross‑border e‑commerce. In 2025, China’s cross‑border e‑commerce imports and exports totaled RMB2.75 trillion, with growth outpacing overall trade for the fourth consecutive year. The sector’s demand for high‑specification warehouses — characterized by high density and rapid turnover —continues to rise. Cushman & Wakefield data shows that the warehouse market is experiencing volume growth alongside price adjustment, with notable regional differences. As cross‑border e‑commerce becomes more regulated, and cold‑chain logistics demand continues to expand, green‑certified, intelligent high‑spec warehouses are expected to gain a competitive advantage.

Advancement of New Urbanization Brings Opportunities for Urban Clusters and Urban Renewal

A notable highlight among 2026 urbanization policies is the first‑ever proposal to build “innovation‑driven industrial communities and business communities.” This concept breaks the traditional boundary between industrial parks and business districts, fostering integrated complexes that combine office, commercial, and residential functions. The report also supports the development of world‑class city clusters in the Beijing‑Tianjin‑Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Greater Bay Area, while enhancing the dual‑city Chengdu‑Chongqing Economic Circle and accelerating growth in the middle‑Yangtze city cluster — further intensifying regional differentiation in the commercial property market. Urban renewal and revitalization of existing stock assets are core pillars of the current urbanization strategy. Policies promoting the reuse of existing land and idle buildings align closely with efforts to revitalize existing housing stock. For owners and operators of prime urban assets, regeneration projects offer strategic opportunities for repositioning and value enhancement.

Green Transformation Prompts Sustainability Certifications to Become a Key Competitive Advantage

The work report dedicates a standalone section to the green transition, announcing dual controls on total carbon emissions and intensity, as well as new policy tools such as zero‑carbon parks and a national low‑carbon transition fund. In 2025, China’s national carbon market saw 235 million tons of allowances traded, with transaction value reaching RMB14.63 billion, up approximately 24% year‑on‑year. Carbon costs have become an increasingly important factor in corporate leasing and location decisions. With 97.9% of newly built urban buildings in 2024 meeting green standards, green retrofits of existing buildings are gaining momentum. Commercial properties certified under LEED, WELL, and China’s Green Building Label standard enjoy notable advantages in rental premiums and tenant attraction.

Sabrina Wei, Chief Policy Analyst and Head of Research, North China, Cushman & Wakefield, said, “The 2026 government work report outlines a clear development vision for commercial real estate characterized by macroeconomic stability, targeted policies, and structural transformation. A GDP growth rate of 4.5%-5% will provide market stability, a RMB350 billion consumption stimulus will activate demand for retail properties, “AI+” will reshape the office market; capital market reforms and public REITs will enable a full “Investment–Financing–Management–Exit” cycle, urban renewal will unlock values of existing assets, and green certification will define new competitiveness for the industry. As the real estate industry transitions from a construction‑focused model to one centered on operations and services, institutions with strong capabilities in asset management and high‑quality operational service delivery will be best positioned to capture the emerging opportunities of this transformative new cycle.”

Antengene Announces 2025 Full-Year Results: First TCE Out-licensing Validates Platform Value and Marks Inflection Point Towards 2026 Profitability

SHANGHAI and HONG KONG, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Antengene Corporation Limited (“Antengene”, SEHK: 6996.HK) today announced its full-year results for the period ending December 31, 2025, and provided an update on recent business highlights and strategic progress.

Dr. Jay Mei, Antengene’s Founder, Chairman, and CEO, commented, “Over 2025 and prior years, Antengene has built a solid foundation for long-term growth, including a robust late-stage clinical pipeline, the proprietary AnTenGager T-cell engager (TCE) platform, and the commercialization of XPOVIO®, which is generating revenue across 10 APAC markets. As we enter into 2026, we are beginning to translate this foundation into tangible value creation. Our recent global licensing agreement with UCB for ATG-201 (CD19×CD3 TCE) represents the first out-licensing transaction for the company and the AnTenGager platform, validating its global competitiveness and marks a clear inflection point for Antengene. Antengene will receive USD 80 million (comprised of an initial upfront payment of USD 60 million and additional near-term milestone payments of USD 20 million), and is eligible to receive more than USD 1.1 billion in success-based development, regulatory and sales milestones, along with tiered royalties on future net sales.

At the same time, our late-stage clinical programs continue to advance. ATG-022 (CLDN18.2 antibody-drug conjugate [ADC]) has demonstrated strong efficacy and best-in-class safety in gastric cancer and other CLDN18.2+ solid tumors, with frontline combination studies in gastric cancer underway, positioning upcoming data as a potential key value inflection point. The company plans to initiate a pivotal Phase III monotherapy trial in gastric cancer in 2026, with enrollment starting in the second half of 2026. ATG-037 (oral CD73 small molecule inhibitor) has shown encouraging efficacy in checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) resistant tumors in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy and is well positioned for combination use with next-generation CPIs such as PD-1×VEGF bispecific antibodies. Together, these programs represent important future value drivers as they approach key clinical milestones. In parallel, the AnTenGager TCE platform will remain open for global collaboration, enabling continued licensing and partnership opportunities. These collaborations represent a new and important revenue stream for the company, with the potential to generate multiple revenue streams through upfront payments, development and regulatory milestones, and potential royalties.

Looking ahead, we will continue to advance our clinical pipeline with disciplined cost control while expanding our innovation capabilities across new and emerging scientific platforms. With multiple novel modalities in development, we believe we are well positioned to further strengthen our R&D engine and support sustainable long-term growth.”

【Business Updates】

1.   AnTenGager™ TCE Platform

  • TCE platform with steric hindrance masking technology: AnTenGager™ is Antengene’s proprietary, second-generation TCE platform featuring “2+1” bivalent binding for low-expressing targets, steric hindrance masking, and proprietary CD3 sequences with fast on/off kinetics to minimize cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and enhance efficacy. These characteristics support the platform’s broad applicability across autoimmune diseases, solid tumors and hematological malignancies indications. Leveraging this platform, Antengene has discovered multiple investigational programs:
    • ATG-201 (CD19 x CD3 TCE): ATG-201 is a novel “2+1” CD19-targeted T-cell engager developed on the AnTenGager TCE platform for the treatment of B cell related autoimmune diseases. Antengene has entered into a global license agreement with UCB for ATG-201. The company plans to submit the IND application for ATG-201 in the first quarter of 2026, and will transfer subsequent clinical development to UCB upon the completion of the first-in-human (Phase I) clinical trial. In return of the license rights granted to UCB, Antengene will receive an upfront and near term milestone payment of USD 80 million (comprised of an initial upfront payment of USD 60 million and additional near-term milestone payments of USD 20 million upon satisfaction of certain conditions) and would be eligible to receive future success-based development and commercial milestone payments of over USD 1.1 billion, as well as tiered royalties on future net sales.
    • ATG-106 (CDH6 x CD3 TCE): A global first-in-class CDH6 x CD3 targeted TCE being developed for the treatment of ovarian cancer and kidney cancer. The Company plans to submit an IND application for ATG-106 in the second quarter of 2027.
    • ATG-112 (ALPPL2 x CD3 TCE): A global first-in-class ALPPL2 x CD3 targeted TCE being developed for the treatment of gynecological tumors, digestive system malignancies, bladder cancer and NSCLC. The Company plans to submit an IND application for ATG-112 in the second quarter of 2027.
    • Additional TCE programs for solid tumors: Antengene plans to submit an IND application for ATG-110 (LY6G6D × CD3 TCE) in the first half of 2027 for the treatment of microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer. In addition, ATG-115 (an undisclosed bispecific antibody) and two undisclosed trispecific antibody programs are currently in preclinical development.

2.   Key Clinical Programs

  • ATG-022 (CLDN18.2 Antibody-Drug Conjugate)
    • Data from the Phase II CLINCH study: ATG-022 has demonstrated potent anti-tumor activity across all levels of CLDN18.2 expression and maintained a favorable safety profile, with the incidence of Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) standing at only 19.4%, suggesting promising potential for frontline combination therapy. Meanwhile, ATG-022 has also shown positive efficacy in patients with non-gastrointestinal tumors, and the Company expects further expansion of its therapeutic indications to treatable patient populations beyond gastrointestinal cancers (for detailed data, please refer to the Company’s press release issued in January 2026 at https://www.antengene.com/newsinfo/459). The Company expects to release the latest clinical data of ATG-022 in the second quarter of 2026.
    • Advancing clinical development across 1L to 3L gastric cancer: Antengene is currently conducting the Phase II CLINCH study and the Phase Ib/II CLINCH-2 study of ATG-022 in Mainland of China and Australia. The Company continues to advance the clinical development of ATG-022 across different lines of gastric cancer treatment, including first-line therapy in combination with checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) and chemotherapy (CAPOX/FOLFOX); second-line therapy in combination with CPIs; and third-line therapy as monotherapy, covering patients with varying levels of CLDN18.2 expression. In addition, the CLINCH study of ATG-022 includes a basket trial cohort evaluating multiple tumor types, with the majority of patients continuing to receive treatment.
  • ATG-037 (Oral CD73 Small Molecule Inhibitor)
    • Data from the Phase Ib/II STAMINA study: Following the initiation of a global clinical collaboration with MSD, Antengene is evaluating ATG-037 in combination with the anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in patients with checkpoint inhibitor (CPI)-resistant melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These findings suggest that ATG-037 has clinically meaningful therapeutic potential in multiple tumor types, particularly in patients who are CPI-resistant (for detailed data, please refer to the Company’s press release issued in November 2025 at https://www.antengene.com/newsinfo/452). The Company expects to release the latest clinical data of ATG-037 in the fourth quarter of 2026.
    • Clinical development pathways: existing data show that ATG-037 holds enormous therapeutic potential for the treatment of first-line or CPI-resistant melanoma, with promising potential for expansion into other tumor types. Antengene’s clinical development roadmap for ATG-037 has four main components: 1. combination with CPI for the treatment of CPI-resistant unresectable and metastatic melanoma (second-line treatment); 2. combination with CPI for the first-line treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma; 3. combination with CPI for the treatment of CPI-resistant unresectable or metastatic NSCLC (second-line treatment); 4. active expansion into other CPI-resistant tumor types supported by the encouraging proof-of-concept data; 5. explore potential combinations with next-generation CPIs such as PD-1×VEGF bispecific antibody.
    • Combination with PD-1/VEGF Bispecific Antibody: Antengene has entered into a clinical collaboration agreement with Junshi Biosciences to evaluate the synergistic therapeutic potential of Antengene’s ATG-037 in combination with Junshi Biosciences’ JS207, a recombinant humanized anti-PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody, in patients with solid tumors in Mainland of China. The combination therapy of ATG-037 and JS207 may constitute a potential “triple-axis” strategy. With the potential to deepen responses while maintaining a favorable safety profile, the combination of ATG-037 with JS207 may further improve the durability of benefit and may translate into improved overall survival (OS).

3.   Next Generation ADCs and  Other Novel Programs 

  • ATG-125 (B7-H3 × PD-L1 bispecific ADC): ATG-125 is an “IO + ADC” dual-function molecule targeting B7-H3 and PD-L1, integrating the direct cytotoxic activity of an ADC with the durable immune activation of IO therapies. By simultaneously blocking B7-H3- and PD-L1-mediated immunosuppressive signaling, ATG-125 effectively activates T cells and induces immunological memory. Preclinical studies demonstrate that the bispecific ADC delivers superior in vivo efficacy compared with single-target B7-H3-ADC or PD-L1-ADC approaches. The Company plans to submit an IND application for ATG-125 in the second quarter of 2027.
  • ATG-207 (αCD3-TGF-β Bispecific Fusion Protein): ATG-207 is a globally first-in-class αCD3-TGF-β bispecific fusion protein being developed for the treatment of T cell–mediated autoimmune diseases. The Company plans to present preclinical data for ATG-207 for the first time at an international scientific conference in 2026.

4.   Commercialized Product

  • Mainland of China: In July 2025, XPOVIO® received approval for its third indication in the Mainland of China, bringing a new treatment option to patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who have received at least one prior therapy. Among the three approved indications of XPOVIO®, two have already been included in China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL), including XPOVIO® monotherapy for the treatment of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) and XPOVIO® in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of R/R MM.
