BEIJING, Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The central theme of economic and social development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30) is to promote high-quality development. Achieving this requires accelerating high-level technological self-reliance and actively fostering new quality productive forces.

As a pivotal force driving the latest wave of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, artificial intelligence (AI) plays a critical role in expediting the emergence of these forces and realizing high-quality socioeconomic growth.

Over the past few years, China has achieved remarkable breakthroughs in key AI domains such as computing infrastructure and AI large models, establishing a leading edge. The nation’s computing capacity ranks second globally, with innovative models like DeepSeek for inference and Ernie’s native multimodal large model earning widespread acclaim. Baidu, for its part, has constructed China’s first cluster comprising 30,000 self-developed P800 Kunlun chips.

To empower high-quality development through AI, a key focus must be on enabling industries to internalize AI capabilities and build native AI strength, transforming them into intrinsic drivers of corporate growth. This not only bolsters the expansion of smart industries but also accelerates the digital upgrading of traditional sectors.

Innovation should be spurred by novel AI applications. Technologies like digital humans, intelligent code agents, and autonomous driving are rigorously validated in real-world scenarios, yielding impressive outcomes. In e-commerce livestreaming and sales support, digital humans serve as highly efficient “digital employees.” Baidu’s Apollo Go robotaxi service, powered by autonomous driving tech, now operates in 22 cities worldwide.

Enterprises can select fitting AI tools, amass exploratory successes, and scale them through experience refinement and replication to hasten progress.

Full integration should be achieved between technological and industrial innovation, and innovation should play a more prominent role in driving development, read the Recommendations of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) for National Economic and Social Development.

“We should build more proof-of-concept and pilot-scale testing platforms, work harder to develop application scenarios and make them more accessible,” according to the Recommendations.

By targeting the pain points such as repetitive tasks, labor shortages, high-risk positions, process bottlenecks, and complex decision-making, AI’s strength in low-cost content creation, automation, intelligent coding, algorithmic optimization and other aspects can help firms cut costs, boost margins, refine decisions, and uncover fresh growth drivers.

Industrial integration should ramp up momentum, strengthening AI as a growth engine. As the world’s sole country encompassing all industrial categories, China holds vast potential for deep AI fusion with the real economy.

Elevating supply chain autonomy in the real economy hinges on superior solutions for production scheduling, resource allocation, route planning, and transaction decisions.

Baidu’s Famou AI agent (described as a commercially available self-evolving agent), dedicated to uncovering optimal solution, has delivered efficiency gains in intricate systems spanning transportation, energy, logistics, and ports. As industries leverage their unique strengths to embed AI capabilities and forge native AI frameworks, the “chemical reactions” from blending general AI models with sector-specific needs will propel social productivity and innovation capability to new heights.

Strategic planning should be reinforced to forge a consensus on “AI empowerment.”

New quality productive forces are defined by innovation – not just in technology and business models, but also in management and institutions. Amid the systemic and structural upheavals from AI and other emerging technologies, exploring human-AI collaborative paradigms for organizations and operations is increasingly urgent.

Seizing the opportunities presented by the digital economy and AI is a must-win imperative for companies. To stay ahead, businesses need to embed AI capability deeply and seamlessly – from strategic decision-making to day-to-day execution, from customer experience to the entire supply chain – permeating every facet of production, operations, and services.

By claiming “intelligent high ground” in their domains, firms can integrate into the broader tide of AI-driven scientific breakthroughs, industrial growth, and application empowerment. This will enable smarter reconfiguration of production factors, faster conversion of innovations into tangible productivity, and a full unleashing of the society’s creative potential.

As one of China’s earliest and most comprehensive investors in AI, Baidu bears the responsibility, capability, and confidence to lead this transformation. We will ramp up investments to build world-class intelligent infrastructure, pioneer cutting-edge large model technologies, and cultivate an open industrial ecosystem, helping industries internalize AI capabilities, cultivate AI native capabilities, and speed up intelligent shifts. In doing so, we aim to contribute anew to China’s high-quality economic development.

-

SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MicroCloud Hologram Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLO), (“HOLO” or the “Company”), a technology service provider, innovatively proposed the “quantum degree” concept, establishing a brand-new theoretical framework for the research on synchronization characteristics of quantum systems. This technology, by introducing the concept of quantum degree in quantum synchronization, precisely measures the synchronized quantum properties in quantum systems.

In terms of theoretical foundation, HOLO’s research is established on a deep understanding of the essential characteristics of quantum systems. The essential difference between quantum systems and classical systems lies in their unique quantum characteristics, including phenomena such as quantum superposition and quantum entanglement. These characteristics make traditional synchronization theory face severe challenges in the quantum domain. The technical framework proposed by HOLO is based on the theoretical foundation of quantum information technology, using the number of synchronized non-commuting observables as the measurement standard for quantumness. This innovative approach breaks through the limitations of classical synchronization theory and establishes a synchronization evaluation system specifically applicable to quantum systems. This theoretical framework not only maintains compatibility with existing synchronization measurement methods but, more importantly, can accurately capture the unique physical properties of quantum systems, providing a reliable theoretical tool for in-depth research on quantum synchronization phenomena.

From the perspective of technical implementation steps, HOLO’s research demonstrates a complete implementation plan. First, HOLO selects a quantum system composed of two weakly interacting cavity qubit systems as the experimental platform, with these systems coupled through boson excitation exchange between cavities. This experimental design ensures the controllability and observability of the quantum system. Second, in the specific operation process, HOLO focuses on the synchronization characteristics of Pauli operator expectation values, verifying the effectiveness and reliability of the quantum degree through precise measurements and data analysis.

At the technical application level, the quantum degree concept proposed by HOLO demonstrates broad application prospects. This technology can be applied to multiple fields such as synchronization control in quantum computers, precision enhancement in quantum sensors, and performance optimization in quantum communication systems. Particularly in superconducting quantum circuit systems, the accurate measurement of quantum degree provides a new technical path for the synchronization control of qubits. With the continuous development of quantum technology, the measurement precision and application scope of quantum degree will further expand. HOLO’s this research achievement provides important technical support for the innovative development of quantum information processing technology, and is expected to play a key role in future quantum technology applications.

The Singapore and New York-headquartered network of clinics expands its Southeast Asia presence, addressing global family-building challenges with technology and empathy

NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rhea Fertility, the reproductive health platform headquartered in Singapore and New York, announces the expansion of GenPrime, its clinic network, with the opening of two flagship fertility centres in Singapore and Manila, the Philippines. The launches mark a major step in scaling GenPrime’s next-generation model of fertility care in Southeast Asia, helping couples and individuals pursue their family-building goals through reproductive science, AI-supported technology, and a patient-centered approach grounded in empathy.

The lobby at GenPrime Fertility, Singapore — one of two newly opened clinics, where integrated fertility care, from consultation to treatment and recovery, comes together under one roof.
The lobby at GenPrime Fertility, Singapore — one of two newly opened clinics, where integrated fertility care, from consultation to treatment and recovery, comes together under one roof.

GenPrime is part of Rhea Fertility, a global reproductive-health platform backed by leading investors committed to advancing healthcare worldwide, including Thiel Capital, LifeX Ventures, and Blue Lion Global. GenPrime clinics are already serving patients in Bangkok, Thailand, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Los Angeles, USA, with further expansion across the region planned for 2026. To date, it has supported more than 3,500 patients throughout its platform.

“The fertility care landscape is entering a new phase of maturity and we’re tapping into that growth starting with Southeast Asia, and later, across the world,” says Margaret Wang, CEO of Rhea Fertility. Her approach — shaped by her previous experience establishing and heading Bridgewater Associates’ Singapore office and grounded in the discipline and perspective she developed at Harvard and Stanford — reflects a high bar for clarity, empathy, and thoughtful growth. “Patients now are looking for reproductive care beyond just a healthcare transaction and where they are cared for with sensitivity and seen as a whole person. We are building a network that supports patients at every stage of their journey — a global platform that integrates science, AI-powered technology, and empathy.”

Meeting family-building aspirations
GenPrime’s expansion underscores a rapidly growing market for cross-border fertility care, driven by shifting demographics as couples delay parenthood alongside rising stress levels, lifestyle pressures, and increasing infertility rates. According to Grand View Research, the global fertility services market is growing at a compound annual rate of 7.5% from a value of USD 42.23 billion in 2023 to USD 70.27 billion by 2030.[1]

Southeast Asia, with its combination of declining fertility rates and rising middle-class demand for advanced fertility services, has become one of the most dynamic regions for reproductive health solutions. In Singapore, the total fertility rate has remained at a historic all time low of 0.97, well below the rate of 2.1 needed for a population to replace itself from one generation to the next.[2]

GenPrime’s presence in both the U.S. and Asia positions the company as a bridge between American innovation and global patient demand, underscoring investment opportunities and collaboration among healthcare innovators in growth markets.

Global outlook, local strength
Despite its global reach, each clinic is conceived with local context in mind. GenPrime’s flagship in Singapore is designed around a premium patient journey, combining reproductive science with thoughtful, high-touch care and a welcoming space designed by award-winning hospitality experience designer JJ Acuña. Services available include IVF, egg freezing, fertility preservation, and comprehensive reproductive diagnostics and the clinic will also serve as a regional hub within Rhea Fertility’s global platform.

In Manila, GenPrime is opening its first clinic in the Philippines to meet the growing demand for fertility care. The new center expands access by bringing the expertise, standards, and continuity of care found across the GenPrime network closer to home for Filipino families.

“The openings in Singapore and Manila reflect markets ready for more options in fertility care,” says Wang. “Our focus is on meeting people where they are physically and emotionally, while delivering a model of care that unites science, technology, and empathy to help people move closer to their family-building goals.”

International strengths
GenPrime’s expertise in the fertility sector is supported by both technology and clinical laboratory design. At the core of its technology engine is Rhea Labs, where artificial intelligence is applied to embryo selection and fertility diagnostics. This team is led by David Silver, Head of AI and Machine Learning, who joined through Rhea’s acquisition of Embryonics, a startup he co-founded that harnesses AI to predict which embryos have the highest chance of success. Silver is internationally recognized for his achievements translating complex science into practical tools that assist doctors and patients in decision-making.

GenPrime’s clinical leadership is also recognised internationally. Four doctors from the network — Dr. Marinella Abat and Dr. Anthony Ancheta (Philippines), Dr. Sasawimol Preechapornkul (Thailand), and Dr. Mathi Arasu Muthusamy (Malaysia) — will serve on the judging committee at the inaugural World Fertility Awards in New York City on 1-2 December 2025. The awards celebrate innovation and the future of fertility care in which they will be evaluating nominees for patient-facing services around the world.

Guided by global expertise

In addition to working with internationally-recognised doctors, GenPrime has a senior advisory counsel composed of leaders in reproductive medicine and clinical innovation. Together, they provide strategic guidance across medical care and patient experience. Some senior advisory members include:

  • Cynthia Hudson — VP of Clinical Strategy at TMRW Life Sciences, and an embryologist and medical practitioner with more than two decades of experience across reproductive technology, laboratory design, and clinical operations. Hudson previously co-founded Kindbody, one of the fastest-growing fertility clinic networks and benefits providers in the United States.
  • Dr. Holly Mehr — A double board-certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Obstetrician-Gynaecologist, and a fellowship-trained reproductive surgeon. Dr. Mehr is known for her excellence in minimally invasive surgery and is recognised for achieving one of the highest REI board scores in the United States.
  • Professor Milton Leong — A respected figure in reproductive medicine with over 30 years of experience. Professor Leong established Hong Kong’s first IVF centre and delivered the city’s first IVF baby in 1985. He is the founding president of The Hong Kong Society for Reproductive Medicine and co-founder of IVF Worldwide.

Together, these advisors bring decades of leadership across reproductive science, clinical innovation, and global healthcare delivery — reinforcing GenPrime’s commitment to patient-first fertility care.

This combined expertise extends into GenPrime’s embryology laboratories, designed in collaboration with Genea Fertility (Australia) in Singapore and Manila. Genea’s methods have been refined over nearly forty years of clinical use. Select locations also incorporate Genea’s tools, such as the Geri® time-lapse incubator system, used to keep embryos in a stable environment under continuous monitoring. Patients can also view their embryo’s development through the Grow by Genea app — adding transparency to a stage of treatment that is often unseen.

Beyond the laboratory, GenPrime delivers connected, patient-centred support through a global network of partners. Its cross-border framework lets patients begin treatment in one city and continue seamlessly in another, ensuring consistent, flexible, and empathetic care. This network also supports holistic wellbeing through partnerships that make fertility care more accessible and comprehensive — from fertility-benefit providers like Carrot and Progyny in the United States, to wellness partners such as Moom Health and Eu Yan Sang in Asia Pacific, and Elix Healing in North America. Patients also have access to Tilly, a mental health platform dedicated to fertility journeys, offering emotional support at every stage.

“People are living differently now — delaying parenthood, working across borders, and balancing new pressures on their health and wellbeing,” said Margaret Wang, CEO of Rhea Fertility and GenPrime. “Our platform is designed for this reality, bringing together innovation, empathy, and flexibility so patients can pursue their family-building goals with confidence, wherever life takes them.”
