Nota Sign Integrates with Hong Kong’s iAM Smart, Enabling One-Stop Account Opening, Employee Onboarding and Contract Signing for Businesses and Residents


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 July 2026 – Nota Sign, the global e-signature platform of Fadada (Shenzhen Fadada Internet Technology Company Limited), has officially integrated with iAM Smart, Hong Kong’s official digital identity platform. The integration connects cross-border electronic signatures with Hong Kong’s digital identity ecosystem, providing government bodies, businesses and individuals across the Greater Bay Area with a secure, compliant and one-stop digital signing solution.

As Hong Kong continues to advance its digital government infrastructure, iAM Smart has become an important gateway connecting public services with digital commercial services. By the first quarter of 2026, the iAM Smart mobile application had recorded more than 10 million cumulative downloads and connected users to over 1,400 online services and electronic forms provided by government departments, public organisations and private institutions.

Through its integration with this digital identity ecosystem, Nota Sign has further strengthened its local digital signing capabilities in Hong Kong.

Designed to support electronic signature and data privacy requirements in more than 100 countries and regions, Nota Sign complies with major international regulatory frameworks, including the EU eIDAS Regulation, the US ESIGN Act, Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance and the GDPR.

The platform has completed ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications, as well as SOC 2 Type I and Type II audits. It supports local digital identity systems in markets including Hong Kong and Singapore and operates data centres in key regions worldwide to meet data localisation requirements, fulfilling its commitment to “Sign with Global Trust.”

Through its deep integration with iAM Smart, Nota Sign enables both corporate and individual users to complete trusted identity verification and legally valid digital signatures using their iAM Smart accounts.

The integration connects Nota Sign directly with Hong Kong’s official digital identity infrastructure and further embeds the platform into the city’s digital government ecosystem. It provides government organisations, businesses and individuals in the Greater Bay Area, particularly those in Hong Kong, with a safer, more efficient and standardised one-stop digital signing solution.

01 Seamless Integration with Hong Kong’s Official Authentication Framework

Developed by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, iAM Smart is a one-stop digital identity authentication platform. Its compliant digital signing framework is established in accordance with Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance.

The platform serves as a key gateway through which Hong Kong residents and businesses access digital government and commercial services. It provides trusted identity verification, encrypted security and fully traceable records and is widely used across public service applications, commercial transactions and identity verification scenarios.

The integration brings together the core capabilities of iAM Smart and Nota Sign. Hong Kong users can authorise access to Nota Sign with one click using their iAM Smart accounts, eliminating repeated registration and data entry and significantly simplifying identity verification during cross-border signing processes.

Users can also verify their identities through iAM Smart and use Nota Sign to sign contracts, commercial documents and official records online. Data is encrypted throughout the process, all actions are recorded and signing activities remain fully traceable, helping ensure that the resulting signatures meet applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

02 Supporting Four High-Frequency Scenarios with Digital Signing at Users’ Fingertips

For users, the integration between Nota Sign and iAM Smart creates a more convenient and trusted digital signing experience for both businesses and individuals.

Whether handling local transactions in Hong Kong, collaborating across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area or conducting cross-border commercial activities, users can reduce repeated identity checks, paper document circulation and in-person procedures, improving both operational efficiency and the overall digital service experience.

Nota Sign supports a wide range of high-frequency signing scenarios, including business operations, financial services, human resources, commercial collaboration and personal affairs. Typical applications include the following:

1. Commercial Collaboration

Nota Sign can be used for local Hong Kong business activities and cross-border collaboration across the Greater Bay Area, including supply chain coordination, procurement transactions and service partnerships.

Businesses can initiate cooperation agreements, procurement contracts, service agreements, supply chain reconciliation confirmations and other commercial documents through Nota Sign.

Signatories can then use iAM Smart to complete identity authentication and digital signing, improving business collaboration efficiency and delivering a smoother signing experience.

2. Talent and Human Resources Management

For cross-regional employment, businesses can initiate online signing processes for offer letters, employment contracts, confidentiality agreements, non-compete agreements and overseas or cross-border assignment documents.

Employees can authenticate their identities and sign digitally through iAM Smart, allowing onboarding documentation to be completed entirely online. This reduces the costs associated with manual identity verification and paper document circulation while improving the efficiency of human resources management.

3. Financial and Corporate Services

Nota Sign can support digital processes involving account opening, insurance applications, wealth management and corporate services.

Businesses can embed iAM Smart’s identity authentication capabilities into Nota Sign signing workflows. Once customers have completed identity verification, they can immediately sign account-opening agreements, authorisation documents, service agreements and other materials.

This reduces repeated authentication and duplicate data entry, providing customers with a smoother and more efficient online service experience.

4. Personal Affairs

Hong Kong residents can use iAM Smart to verify their identities and sign digitally when entering into tenancy agreements, granting personal authorisations or handling cross-border mandates.

Users no longer need to repeatedly enter their identity details or attend multiple in-person verification appointments. This improves the efficiency of a wide range of digital processes and makes signing more convenient and intuitive.

Huang Xiang, Founder and CEO of Fadada, said that the integration with iAM Smart represents an important strategic step in Nota Sign’s continued development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It also strengthens the platform’s local compliance service ecosystem and regional service capabilities.

Nota Sign previously established a partnership with Digi-Sign, the first commercial recognised certification authority under Hong Kong’s Tradelink.

Overseas users who do not have an iAM Smart account can use Tradelink iD-One, together with passport-based electronic Know Your Customer verification, to complete identity verification and apply for a digital certificate.

Following the integration with iAM Smart, Hong Kong residents can now complete identity authentication and digital signing directly through their iAM Smart accounts.

These two identity verification channels serve different user groups and further strengthen Nota Sign’s identity authentication network in Hong Kong.

Looking ahead, Nota Sign will continue to leverage its mature cross-border signing technology and compliance framework to provide reliable digital signing infrastructure for Chinese enterprises expanding overseas, Hong Kong and Macao businesses entering the Chinese mainland, and cross-border industrial collaboration across the Greater Bay Area.

Through these capabilities, Nota Sign aims to establish a leading cross-border electronic signing platform rooted in the Greater Bay Area and serving organisations worldwide.

About Nota Sign

Nota Sign is Fadada’s global electronic signature platform. It is designed to support electronic signature and data privacy requirements in more than 100 countries and regions and complies with regulatory frameworks including the EU eIDAS Regulation, the US ESIGN Act, Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance and the GDPR.

The platform integrates with dozens of recognised overseas certification authorities and provides electronic signature solutions at multiple assurance levels.

Nota Sign has completed ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications, as well as a SOC 2 Type I audit. It operates data centres in key regions worldwide to meet data localisation requirements and supports localised signing services such as Singapore’s Singpass.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 July 2026 – As gold prices continue to hold near historic highs, a growing number of consumers in Singapore are taking a fresh look at the value of jewelry, branded goods, and precious metals they have held for years.

Record Gold Prices Prompt Consumers to Reassess Dormant Assets
According to the World Gold Council’s Gold Demand Trends: Q4 and Full Year 2025 report, the US dollar gold price rose 67% in 2025, setting 53 new all-time highs throughout the year. The annual average price reached a record USD 3,431.50 per troy ounce.
Against this backdrop of historic price levels, consumers around the world are increasingly seeking to understand the value of jewelry, precious metals, and inherited items that have long sat unused.

Alongside the desire to acquire new assets, there is a growing interest in simply knowing the current value of what one already owns. At Jewel Cafe, an increasing number of customers are visiting not necessarily to sell, but to find out what their items are worth today.

Jewel Cafe aims to make the appraisal experience straightforward and approachable. Customers may bring in a single item or an entire collection, with appraisals available for the following categories:
– Gold and platinum
– Diamond jewelry

Razor Labs Launches DataMind AI™ 5.0, Advancing the Next Generation of AI-Powered Predictive Maintenance for Mining

Major platform release expands predictive maintenance beyond fault detection, helping mining companies turn AI insights into faster maintenance decisions and improved asset reliability

SYDNEY, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Razor Labs (TASE: RZR), a global leader in AI-powered predictive maintenance for mining, today announced the launch of DataMind AI™ 5.0, a major evolution of its predictive maintenance platform that expands predictive maintenance beyond early fault detection to support the complete maintenance decision-making process.

As mining operations become increasingly digital and equipment fleets grow in size and complexity, maintenance teams face mounting pressure to improve reliability while reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. While artificial intelligence has transformed the ability to detect developing equipment failures, identifying a fault is only the beginning. Engineers must still investigate the issue, determine the appropriate response, coordinate maintenance activities, execute repairs, and verify that equipment has safely returned to operation.

The new version bridges that gap by connecting AI-powered insights with the operational workflows that maintenance and reliability teams rely on every day. Powered by Razor Labs’ proprietary AI Sensor Fusion™ technology, the platform delivers a more connected approach to equipment health management, helping organizations move seamlessly from early detection through investigation, maintenance execution, and verification across both mobile fleets and fixed assets.

“Predictive maintenance doesn’t end when AI detects a fault – that’s where the real work begins,” said Raz Roditti, CEO of Razor Labs. “DataMind AI™ 5.0 represents an important milestone in our vision for AI-powered predictive maintenance in mining. Mining companies need more than earlier detection – they need technology that helps maintenance teams make faster decisions, collaborate more effectively, and confidently turn insights into action. This release strengthens that connection, enabling organizations to maximize the value of predictive maintenance across their operations.”

The release brings together AI-powered diagnostics, engineering investigation, maintenance collaboration, and complete fault lifecycle management within a unified environment designed around the way maintenance organizations operate. By reducing the disconnect between identifying potential failures and resolving them, the platform helps improve maintenance efficiency, operational visibility, and decision-making at scale.

“Maintenance teams don’t need more alerts – they need greater clarity, context, and better workflows,” said Assaf Eden, VP Product at Razor Labs. “Version 5.0 was designed around those day-to-day realities, helping teams investigate issues faster, collaborate more effectively, and move from detection to resolution with greater confidence.”

This release reflects Razor Labs’ continued investment in advancing AI-powered predictive maintenance for mining and reinforces the company’s commitment to helping mining organizations improve equipment reliability, reduce operational risk, and transform maintenance through practical, scalable AI solutions.

Version 5.0 is now available to Razor Labs customers worldwide.

About Razor Labs

Razor Labs (TASE: RZR) is a global leader in AI-powered predictive maintenance for mining. Through its proprietary AI Sensor Fusion™ technology, the company’s DataMind AI™ platform continuously analyses operational, condition monitoring, and maintenance data to identify developing equipment failures before they impact production.

Supporting both mobile fleets and fixed assets, Razor Labs helps mining organizations reduce unplanned downtime, improve equipment reliability, and optimise maintenance decision-making. With operations across Australia, South Africa, the United States, Colombia, and Israel, the company partners with leading mining organizations worldwide to transform maintenance through artificial intelligence.

CJ 4DPLEX AND HOYTS CINEMAS CONFIRM EXPANSION OF SCREENX WITH 12 NEW LOCATIONS ACROSS AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND

SYDNEY, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HOYTS Cinemas has announced a major expansion of its partnership with CJ 4DPLEX, adding 12 new SCREENX auditoriums to its network across Australia and New Zealand. The first will open at HOYTS Broadway in time for the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the first Hollywood blockbuster Shot for SCREENX through a groundbreaking collaboration that brings SCREENX into the filmmaking process from production through to theatrical exhibition.

The rollout builds on the success of HOYTS’ existing SCREENX cinemas at Melbourne Central and Blacktown, which remain among the top-performing locations in Australia. The new agreement with CJ 4DPLEX will increase HOYTS’ total number of SCREENX screens to 14 by 2028—the largest SCREENX deployment by any cinema chain in Australia and New Zealand.

Damian Keogh, HOYTS Group President and CEO, said the performance of SCREENX at HOYTS Melbourne Central and HOYTS Blacktown demonstrate the growing demand for premium, innovative cinema experiences.

“The response to SCREENX from audiences across Australia has been strong, and we look forward to expanding this premium experience across our network,” Damian said.

“Immersive cinema is the future of moviegoing, and these 12 new auditoriums are another step towards bringing that experience to more guests.”

“The future of cinema lies in delivering experiences that audiences simply cannot enjoy anywhere else. SCREENX transforms storytelling by surrounding moviegoers with a 270-degree cinematic canvas, and our new ‘Shot for SCREENX’ initiative takes that immersion even further by enabling filmmakers to create movies specifically for the format from the very beginning,” Jun said.

“We are proud to launch this new era with Spider-Man: Brand New Day and to expand our partnership with HOYTS as we continue redefining the theatrical experience.”

Don Savant, Chief Business Officer of CJ 4DPLEX America, said that HOYTS has established itself as the leading SCREENX exhibitor in Australia and New Zealand through exceptional execution and consistently outstanding performance.

“Their commitment to innovation and premium cinema experiences has made them an ideal partner for SCREENX’s continued expansion. Together, we’re bringing a new generation of immersive theatrical experiences that audiences simply can’t experience at home to moviegoers across the region,” Don said.

SCREENX transforms the moviegoing experience with its revolutionary format, seamlessly extending the picture beyond the front screen onto the auditorium’s left and right walls. This premium 270-degree panoramic presentation enhances key scenes with exclusive visual storytelling, creating a truly immersive cinematic experience unavailable in any home entertainment environment.

The expansion will extend SCREENX auditoriums across HOYTS’ network of 61 locations, with the 12 new auditoriums set to open by 2028, beginning with HOYTS Broadway on July 30, 2026.

Setting highest annual visitation to date
Offering Macao’s largest free sales platform to empower local SMEs
 Drawing 800,000 visits across seven editions

MACAO, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The “2026 Sands Shopping Carnival,” an annual signature shopping event in Macao, was held successfully from July 23 to 26 at The Venetian® Macao’s Cotai Expo, drawing large crowds over four consecutive days, attracting nearly 160,000 visits and setting a record-high annual visitation in the event’s history. In its seventh edition this year, the carnival has grown to feature over 580 booths across eight themed exhibition zones, the largest-ever food court, and new additions including a “Sports Experience Zone” and a range of cultural and creative brands from the Greater Bay Area – all aimed at offering an enhanced one-stop summer carnival experience for Macao residents and visitors alike. The event once again played a key role in driving footfall and boosting spending across the city, fully supporting the Macao SAR government’s “Tourism+” policy, and facilitating the city’s economic diversification.

As the largest sales event in Macao, the Sands Shopping Carnival has served as a large business platform for local SMEs, community partners and Sands retailers for seven consecutive years since its launch during the pandemic in 2020. It is dedicated to helping local SMEs expand business opportunities, broaden customer base, and enhance brand visibility. To date, the carnival has provided 4,000 complimentary booths for local businesses and has been highly received among both Macao residents and the Greater Bay Area visitors. Over the past seven years, the event has attracted a cumulative total of 800,000 visits.

This year, the scale of the event has expanded even further, featuring over 580 booths that brought together an array of international and local Macao brands across eight themed exhibition zones: Household Products, Gourmet and Wine, Food Court, Cultural and Creative, Sands Retailers, Macao Specialties and Souvenirs, Play and Fun, and Sports Experience. 

Dr. Wilfred Wong, executive vice chairman of Sands China Ltd., said: “We are delighted to celebrate the successful conclusion of the seventh edition of the Sands Shopping Carnival. Over the past seven years, the carnival has evolved from an innovative SME initiative into Macao’s largest consumption event. It stands as a testament to the perseverance and growth of the city’s SMEs, while embodying the spirit of solidarity that brings the Macao community together. Over the years, the event has helped local SMEs expand their business opportunities while providing trainees from social service organisations with a valuable platform to apply their skills, showcase their talents and unleash their potential. By uniting the strength of the business, commercial and social service sectors, the event fully demonstrates Macao’s vibrancy and diversity. We are especially encouraged that the carnival is drawing an increasing number of visitors from across the Greater Bay Area to Macao, further cementing its position as one of the region’s most influential consumer events, attracting 800,000 visits over the past seven years.

“We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Macao SAR government and all sectors of society for their longstanding support and trust. Looking ahead, Sands China will continue to leverage this platform to create opportunities and strengthen connections among local SMEs and community partners, while remaining committed to supporting Macao’s economic diversification and contributing to its development as a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.”

A number of new elements were introduced to this year’s carnival, including the largest-ever food court, which brought together 58 popular local eateries and gave visitors an experience of Macao’s diverse culinary offerings. A Sports Experience Zone was also set up, allowing the public to enjoy the fun of pickleball. The zone also featured a basketball shooting challenge as a warm-up for the NBA China Games, which is set to take place in October at The Venetian Arena. In addition, the Cultural and Creative Zone welcomed a multitude of cultural and creative brands from the Greater Bay Area for the first time. These themed exhibition zones attracted a steady stream of visitors, creating a lively atmosphere and fully demonstrating the carnival’s appeal.

As one of the highlights of the carnival, the ICBC ePay Presents: Greater Bay Area Karaoke King Singing Competition received an overwhelming response once again. The event attracted close to 150 talented singers from the Greater Bay Area. Notably, over half of the applicants were from Hong Kong, reflecting the competition’s growing appeal across the Greater Bay Area. Throughout the competition, contestants delivered powerful performances, showcasing impressive vocal talent and captivating stage presence, filling the venue with excitement and enthusiasm. In addition, the Busking Corner, which was open for public participation, attracted many singing enthusiasts to take the stage. Professional singers were also invited to give warm-up performances, further enriching the carnival experience.

This year, Sands China once again invited local social service organisations to participate in the carnival, providing a platform for local disadvantaged groups to showcase their talents and integrate into society. A record high of 20 social service organisations joined this year, covering social rehabilitation, youth development, animal welfare, and support for vulnerable groups. The event provided an opportunity for people with special educational needs and other trainees to gain practical experience by promoting and selling their handmade products, thereby enhancing their skills and confidence. In addition, the company organised a range of community activities to further promote inclusivity in Macao.

Over 5,000 selected items priced at MOP1 and products with 90% discount were available for purchase every day during the event. In addition, a series of family activities were arranged during the carnival. The well-received cooking activity “BOC Smart Kids Presents: Little Master Chef Workshop” returned this year, attracting nearly 3,000 participants over the past seven years. Led by Sands China’s food and beverage team, participating families made different cuisines and enjoyed the fun of cooking together. The carnival also featured the Bank of Communications Presents: “Play and Fun” Kids Area, which offered inflatable attractions, game booths, and other exciting activities for children to play freely and for families to strengthen their bonds.

The 2026 Sands Shopping Carnival was organised by Sands China and co-organised by the Macao Chamber of Commerce, with full support from the Economic and Technological Development Bureau (DSEDT), the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO), and the Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM). The event was sponsored by BOC Macau, ICBC (Macau), Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. Macau Branch, and Banco Nacional Ultramarino (BNU).
