Bill Deng, Founder and CEO of XTransfer, serves as a speaker at the 2024 “Summer Davos” roundtable meeting.

Bill was invited to share his insights at the “Decoding E-Commerce Payments” panel discussion on the first day of the forum. With the further development of cross-border trade, payment service providers face different regulatory challenges in different regional markets, ranging from data privacy and consumer protection to fraud prevention and anti-money laundering, as well as managing national-level regulations. Bill shared the current payment service challenges SMEs face in cross-border transactions and how XTransfer addresses regulatory requirements in different markets while assisting these SMEs in expanding globally.

During the forum, Bill was also invited to participate as a speaker in the “Next Steps from Chinese Innovators” roundtable meeting. As a representative of cross-border payment enterprises, Bill engaged in in-depth discussions on innovative development with Gong Yuan, Managing Director of HongShan, Anne Ma, Founder and CEO of SHUKUN, Alex Zhavoronkov, Founder and CEO of Insilico Medicine, and Cheryl Cui, Co-Founder and CEO of Bota Biosciences.

Innovation always accompanies competition in various industries. When asked how to perceive competition in terms of innovation in China, Bill pointed out, “Competition is a natural occurrence, and in the process of innovation, competition is one of the driving forces. Innovation and competition go hand in hand. From our perspective, it requires us to provide quality services to our customers and ensure we deliver excellent services.”

China has built a globally competitive innovation ecosystem and has experienced robust growth. However, this growth has also presented challenges requiring innovative leaders to step up. Bill stated “For foreign trade enterprises, the ability to keenly sense industry changes and adapt to them is crucial for effectively responding to challenges. XTransfer will play a significant role in providing SMEs with secure, low-cost, and convenient payment services, empowering SMEs to adapt to new changes and new markets quickly.

Finally, Bill said, “Our participation in Davos resonated with Premier Li Qiang’s speech, highlighting the significance of international cooperation and openness. The event expanded our perspectives, showcased our capabilities, and enhanced our relationships with industry leaders and government officials. This will positively impact our ability to advance cross-border payments and fintech innovations on a global level.”

Bupa Introduces “Cancer Care” To Help Fight The Challenges and Complexities of Cancer

“Cancer Care” supports patients to navigate a challenging journey with more clarity and support


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 July 2024 – Cancer is a complex and multifaceted disease, impacting the lives of thousands of patients and their loved ones. In Hong Kong, approximately 100 new cases of cancer are diagnosed every day[1], while data analysis from Bupa indicates that cancer accounts for 1 in 10 health insurance claims—over 31,000 claimants in total over the past five years, with HK$1.4 billion paid out by Bupa.

While some people are more likely than others to receive a cancer diagnosis, cancer can happen to anyone. Behind every piece of data is a real person. A friend. A colleague. A family member. A member of the Hong Kong community. Fighting cancer is critical—but fragmented elements of treatment and an overwhelming amount of information may complicate the treatment journey, making it difficult for patients to get the care they need and creating even more stress for patients and their families.

In an effort to tackle these challenges, reduce patient stress, and deliver a more seamless and supportive care experience to customers, Bupa is introducing an integrated cancer care support system: “Cancer Care”.

“Cancer Care” supports patients who suspect or are given a positive cancer diagnosis to navigate the challenging world of cancer care with more clarity and support. With “Cancer Care”, patients get a streamlined path to diagnosis, treatment and follow-up services, and a consistent source of vital support at every step of their cancer care journey.

Fiona Harris, Managing Director, Bupa in Hong Kong, said, “Patients who receive a positive cancer diagnosis may be uncertain and deeply concerned about their next step. Unfortunately, many patients don’t know where to turn. They don’t have a one-stop source of information and support. Moreover, cancer is a deeply complex disease and often requires a dynamic, ever-evolving, multi-team treatment approach. Each stage may bring new doctors and new information to become acquainted with. ‘Cancer Care’ supports patients at every step in the cancer care journey, to relieve patient anxieties, elucidate information and avoid delays in potentially life-saving treatment.”

Coordinating diverse elements of treatment, the key features of “Cancer Care” include: a dedicated nurse hotline where patients can ask questions and get help arranging the next step in their cancer care journey; tailored treatment plans developed by a professional team of oncologists, specialists and the patient; fast-tracked appointment booking; allied health and post-treatment support; proactive check-ins; and more. Cancer Care is available to all Bupa customers, including individual and corporate group plan members.

“Cancer Care” is made possible through the connected team approach. As a leading integrated healthcare business in Hong Kong, offering both insurance and private healthcare provision, Bupa is uniquely able to bring together disparate elements of the cancer care ecosystem so that patients receive a more coordinated, less fragmented care experience. A team of doctors and nurses is just a phone call away to support patients in their cancer care journey.

Harris added, “Bupa’s purpose is to help people live longer healthier happier lives and make a better world. This purpose can only be achieved by putting customers at the heart of everything we do. ‘Cancer Care’ centralises the patient experience by prioritising support and transparency so that customers can be less overwhelmed when navigating the challenging world of cancer diagnosis and treatments. With ‘Cancer Care’ we are addressing patients’ physical, mental and emotional needs, to support whole-person wellness for our customers.”

“Cancer Care” supports all Bupa members in navigating the challenging world of cancer care with more clarity and support. If any Bupa member suspects they have cancer, receives a diagnosis, or is undergoing treatment, they can call the dedicated hotline at +852 2517 5788 for practical and emotional support.

DEUTZ inks cooperation with TAFE, India’s leading agricultural group

  • Advantages for German locations due to broader supplier base
  • Cooperation to be extended to green drives

COLOGNE, GERMANY – EQS Newswire – 2 July 2024 – DEUTZ is adding another cornerstone to its Dual+ strategy, which includes both the further development of alternative drive systems and the expansion of the internal combustion engine business. The cooperation with the Indian agricultural group TAFE Motors and Tractors Limited announced today allows DEUTZ to expand its business in India, tapping into one of the fastest growing markets worldwide. TAFE Motors is the subsidiary of TAFE, the third largest tractor manufacturer in the world. In 2023, the Indian economy grew by around 6 to 7 percent and it is expected that India’s gross domestic product (GDP) will quadruple by 2050. The agricultural and construction sector will play a major role in achieving this strong growth.

As the beginning of a long-term cooperation, TAFE Motors will manufacture up to 30,000 DEUTZ-engines in 2.2 Liter (50-75 hp) and 2.9 Liter (75-100 hp) under license. The aim is to augment and complement the wide range of engines made by the Group across emission standards. TAFE Motors will produce engines to suit growing demands of the Indian market as well as for DEUTZ’s requirements. The engines will be produced in TAFE Motors’ modern manufacturing facility at Alwar, Rajasthan in India.

DEUTZ will use the Indian manufacturing base to market its engines in neighboring markets (esp. APAC), benefitting from advantages in production and logistics.

“The strategic cooperation with TAFE Motors secures DEUTZ access to growing markets with strong potential and long-term prospects,” explains DEUTZ CEO, Dr. Sebastian C. Schulte. “It also enables us to continue producing at competitive costs in the future and makes us less dependent on the existing supplier landscape, which is becoming increasingly challenging due to the technological shift and geopolitics”.

The cooperation gives DEUTZ the opportunity to expand its supplier base to ensure a more efficient and more resilient production. It will also reduce its dependence on supply chains in geopolitically tense regions – without sacrificing the corresponding cost benefits. This particularly benefits DEUTZ’s German production sites.

Speaking on behalf of TAFE Motors, Sandeep Sinha, CEO of TAFE Motors said, “This strategic cooperation between TAFE Motors and DEUTZ will be mutually beneficial, as it will offer access to shared resources and technologies to produce engines that complement TAFE Motors’ and the Group’s existing range to meet the demand for both domestic and international markets. This cooperation will also offer DEUTZ access to high-quality engines at best cost for new applications in Indian and relevant overseas markets”.

Both parties are exploring opportunities to expand the cooperation to green drives.
