This new office located in the Yangtze Delta region strengthens family governance and intergenerational succession capabilities for next-generation family leaders


HONG KONG SAR / WUXI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 June 2026 – WRISE Group (“WRISE”), one of Asia’s fastest-growing independent wealth management firms, announced the official launch of WRISE Academy in Wuxi, dedicated to family governance and talent development. This new office comes amid accelerating intergenerational wealth transfer across China and rising demand for structured family governance wealth management solutions.

The Wuxi office, which follows Shenzhen, Changsha and Chengdu locations, marks the 4th expansion of WRISE Academy across Mainland China. This office will focus on education related to family governance, wealth succession and cultivation of next-generation family leaders, providing high-net-worth families with systematic governance guidance, succession planning resources, as well as learning support and networking platforms for family talent development.

Serving Intergenerational Succession Needs Across the Yangtze River Delta

The Yangtze River Delta region is a significant contributor to China’s overall economic growth, with total exports from the region alone reaching 10.85 trillion yuan in 2025, or 40.2 percent of China’s overall exports.

Wuxi, located in the economic circle of the Yangtze River Delta, is home to significant number of privately owned and family-run enterprises, where demand for succession planning is rising as founders prepare for generational transition. In this pivotal period of wealth and leadership transfer, family governance and next-generation leadership development are increasingly important priorities for high-net-worth families.

Supporting family legacy and governance globally

The WRISE Academy expansion reflects the firm’s global focus on supporting long-term family legacy and governance beyond wealth preservation. “The core of a family office is not only in maintaining and increasing the value of assets, but also the continuation of values and the inheritance of family culture. Focusing on family governance and next generation development through WRISE Academy helps families build sustainable governance systems that support future generations,”said Derrick Tan, Group Executive Chairman of WRISE.

Stephen Yan, Executive Vice Chairman of WRISE, adds: “With intergenerational wealth transfer in China continuing to drive changes in governance and succession planning among high-net-worth families, WRISE Academy will continuously integrate global resources and professional networks to support the succession and governance of Chinese families.”

Collaboration for Greater Success

The opening of the WRISE Academy in Wuxi marks the next phase in WRISE Academy’s evolution from a talent development platform to a comprehensive family governance ecosystem. “With WRISE’s presence in the Yangtze River Delta, we are bringing together Hong Kong’s established family office governance expertise with practical needs of Mainland Chinese family enterprises to nurture a new generation of family leaders with both global perspectives and deep local understanding,”says Dr. Jowin Fung Vice Chairman, WRISE Hong Kong and Chief Executive Officer of WRISE Academy.

Looking ahead, the WRISE Academy will continue to expand its family governance ecosystem and deepen engagement with high-net-worth families across Mainland China. It will also strengthen collaboration with local business associations, universities and professional institutions to facilitate knowledge sharing through seminars, workshops and certification programmes. Such initiatives will support family enterprises in building more sustainable frameworks encompassing governance structures and succession planning.

“Through structured programmes, mentorship and exchange initiatives, WRISE Academy empowers next-generation family leaders to define their roles and responsibilities in the succession journey. The Wuxi office will serve as an important platform for family governance dialogue and collaboration across the Yangtze River Delta,” says Megan Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of WRISE Private Hong Kong.

Accordingly, SeABank’s charter capital has increased from VND 28,450 billion to VND 34,288 billion, up VND 5,838 billion.

A suite of Agentic AI services set to launch for European customers later this year


PARIS, FRANCE – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 June 2026 – Alibaba Cloud, a leading global provider of AI infrastructure and the intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, today announced the launch of its cloud region in France. Featuring two availability zones, this launch addresses accelerating demand from European customers across key sectors – including retail, software development, AI-powered creative platforms, and sports tech – for advanced cloud and digital solutions located in Europe. The new facilities in Paris mark Alibaba Cloud‘s third European hub, complementing its existing infrastructure in Germany and the UK.

The France region delivers a comprehensive suite of enterprise-grade cloud computing services, spanning elastic computing, storage, containerization, networking, security, databases, and advanced developer tools. Built with strict data privacy and sovereignty in mind, the infrastructure adheres to rigorous European regulatory frameworks and standards, including data privacy, cybersecurity, resilience, and sovereignty.

Now fully operational, the France region equips European businesses with high availability, operational resilience, and robust disaster recovery capabilities. This launch expands Alibaba Cloud‘s global network to 105 availability zones across 32 regions, reinforcing its commitment to providing a secure, scalable, and sustainable foundation for global digital innovation.

To meet the growing demand for enterprise agents, Alibaba Cloud plans to launch a suite of agentic AI services in European markets in the second half of this year. The lineup includes AgentRun, a one-stop development platform for AI agents; STAROps, a comprehensive intelligent operations platform; ACS Agent Sandbox, which provides hardware-level security isolation while reducing operational costs of AI agents; Agent Security Center, which ensures agent build-time integrity and supply chain transparency; AI Security Guardrails 2.0, designed for safe model interactions, local compliance, and runtime risk interception; and Agentic SOC, a solution enabling automated threat response and closed-loop auditing. These products are designed to streamline the development and operation of enterprise-scale agents within a secure environment, offering full lifecycle management from development and debugging to deployment, real-world operations, and end-to-end security protection.

“The expansion of our cloud infrastructure into France reinforces our ongoing commitment to empowering European businesses with sovereign, secure, and intelligent solutions,” said Dr. Feifei Li, Chief Technology Officer and President of International Business of Alibaba Cloud. “This expansion, alongside the introduction of our agentic AI services to Europe, aligns with our broader strategy to bring our full-stack AI+Cloud ecosystem to global customers as we enter the agentic era.”

Alibaba Cloud has served European markets since 2016, supporting prominent multinationals in expanding globally while helping local businesses stay competitive. For example, SAP collaborates with Alibaba to jointly accelerate enterprise innovation and digital transformation, with an initial focus on the China market and a rollout planned for Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Additionally, Alibaba Cloud has been working with local technology partners to deliver tailored cloud and digital solutions across Europe.

During the Olympic Games Paris 2024, Alibaba Cloud served as the Worldwide Olympic Partner and Official Cloud Service Provider, driving the digital transformation of the Games through its cloud and AI innovation. Notably, in partnership with Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS), Alibaba Cloud launched OBS Cloud 3.0. The initiative made the work of OBS and Media Rights-Holders (MRHs) easier and more efficient, and delivering of live signals over OBS Live Cloud became the main method of remote distribution to broadcasters for the first time in the history of the Olympic Games.

In May 2026, Alibaba announced a multi-year partnership with the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and UC3, the joint venture between UEFA and European Football Clubs (EFC) that controls and manages the strategic marketing, sales, and delivery of commercial rights for UEFA club competitions. The partnership, starting immediately with UEFA and in 2027 with UC3, will see the deployment of Alibaba’s advanced AI capabilities to support fan engagement and media and content management via its Qwen Large Language Model (LLM). Together with its cloud computing infrastructure and global e-commerce platform, Alibaba will power an immersive fan and content experience worldwide across UEFA’s flagship men’s competitions.

Alibaba Cloud’s expanded presence in Europe underscores its unwavering commitment to driving digital innovation in the region. By providing local businesses with leading AI+Cloud solutions to efficiently build, deploy, and manage AI agents, Alibaba Cloud aims to accelerate their transition from traditional automation to agent-led intelligent operations. At its recent international Qwen Conference, the company unveiled major updates across its foundation models, AI infrastructure, cloud-native tools, and enterprise agent products, helping global enterprises rapidly deploy practical AI agents into day-to-day business environments.

A gin from Laos received a Gold Outstanding medal, the highest distinction, at the 2026 International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC), placing it among only ten gins worldwide to reach the top tier this year.

Gin is a distilled spirit flavored primarily with juniper berries alongside a range of botanicals, produced by distilling a neutral spirit with those flavoring ingredients. According to the IWSC, the gin brand named Lao Gin, a 750ml Contemporary Gin from The Lao Distilling Company, impressed judges with a palate described as “silky and creamy, with zingy, zesty notes,” scoring 98 points. 

Founded in 2022, the company has built its reputation on locally sourced ingredients, turning native botanicals and local traditions into something genuinely distinctive on the world stage.

The IWSC, founded in 1969 and held annually in London, is one of the most respected drinks competitions in the world, covering spirits, wine, beer, cider, and sake. 

This year, judges awarded 233 medals across Silver, Gold, and Gold Outstanding tiers, with only ten gins reaching the top Gold Outstanding. Alongside Lao Gin in the Contemporary category were Tanqueray No. Ten Gin from Scotland, Aureus Vita Gin from England, and Taiwan Coriander Superb Craft Gin. 

Classic Gin top honors went to Navy Gin from New Zealand, Juniper Freak Gin from Australia, and Ohoro Standard Gin from Japan. Wood-Finished Gin winners were Awildian Coromandel Mānuka Gin from New Zealand and Barrel-Aged Gin from Japan, while Haskap Gin from Canada was the sole Flavored Gin winner.

Lao Gin’s result places it alongside established global names including Tanqueray No. Ten Gin, Aureus Vita Gin from Krenngala Meurth Distilling Company, and Taiwan Coriander Superb Craft Gin, as well as craft producers from New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and Japan

All ten winners now advance to trophy consideration ahead of the organization’s annual awards ceremony in London in November later this year.

Ligufalimab (CD47)-Based Combination Achieves Deep Responses and Survival Benefit in Frontline AML: Phase II Results Presented in Oral Session at EHA 2026

HONG KONG, June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Akeso, Inc. (9926.HK) (“Akeso” or the “Company”) today announced that compelling results from its randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II trial (AK117-206) of ligufalimab (AK117) were presented as an oral presentation at the 2026 European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress. Ligufalimab is Akeso’s proprietary next-generation humanized IgG4 anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody. The study evaluated ligufalimab in combination with azacitidine (AZA) and venetoclax (VEN) in patients with treatment-naïve acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy.

Ligufalimab-based combination therapy demonstrates a significant trend toward survival benefit

  • At a median follow-up of 10 months in the ligufalimab group and 8.8 months in the control group, median event-free survival (EFS) was 9.1 months in the ligufalimab group versus 6.9 months in the control group (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.46). The 6-month EFS rate was 67.8% versus 55.5% in the control group, and the 9-month EFS rate was 53.2% versus 14.1%.
  • Median overall survival (mOS) was not reached in the ligufalimab group versus 8.3 months in the control group (HR = 0.46). The 6-month OS rate was 83.3% versus 73.2%, and the 9-month OS rate was 78.7% versus 43.1% in the control group.

Ligufalimab-based combination therapy yields deep tumor responses

  • The objective response rate (ORR) was 80.0% in the ligufalimab group versus 66.7% in the control group, and the composite complete response (CRc) rate was 56.7% versus 53.3%; the proportion of patients achieving CRc with minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity was higher in the ligufalimab group than in the control group (46.7% vs. 36.7%).
  • The median duration of CRc was 10.4 months in the ligufalimab group, which was markedly superior to 5.6 months in the control group.

Favorable Safety Profile With No New Safety Signals Observed

  • The incidence of overall treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events was comparable between treatment arms. The most common TEAEs were generally consistent with those expected in the context of AML and AZA+VEN therapy.
  • Anemia occurred in 46.7% of patients in the ligufalimab arm versus 50.0% in the control arm.

Notably, ligufalimab has already received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) from the U.S. FDA for the treatment of AML. Akeso is advancing its ligufalimab clinical development programs at a globally competitive pace across both hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. Ligufalimab is also the first anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody worldwide to enter a registrational Phase III clinical trial in solid tumors.
