SINGAPORE, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Asia New Vision Forum (ANVF) 2025, organized by Caixin Global with the support of the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) as host partner, opened today in Singapore for the third consecutive year. Under the theme “Charting the Future Amid Uncertainty”, the forum brought together over 600 investors, entrepreneurs, and high-level government officials from more than 12 countries to share insights on critical global economic and business issues.  

Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry, Gan Kim Yong, delivered the forum’s opening keynote on Asia’s role in a fragmented world.

In his opening address, Caixin Media’s Editor-in-Chief Wang Shuo expounded on the forum’s theme and emphasized the importance of steering by the pole star, while staying flexible on the journey, cautioning against excessive preparation. Echoing Cold War scholar John Gaddis, he noted that in times of unpredictability, embracing inconsistencies and even contradictions should not be feared. Wang concluded with the reminder to protect freedom in the face of hard choices.

The opening panel discussion featured Hu Shuli, Publisher of Caixin Media, Chairwoman of Caixin Global, and Chairwoman of the Asia New Vision Forum, and Lawrence H. Summers, Charles W. Eliot University Professor and President Emeritus of Harvard University, and Former U.S. Treasury Secretary. They exchanged views on critical issues including U.S. debt, tariffs, artificial intelligence, and China–U.S. relations. Summers remarked that, in many respects, U.S. tariffs are an “extremely unwise” policy, though the global trading system is far from collapse. He added that AI holds great potential to significantly boost economic growth, but ensuring the safety of the technology places a heavy responsibility on both China and the United States. He stressed that the two countries should abandon a “winner-takes-all” mindset.

Spanning three days, ANVF 2025 features over 30 sessions including plenaries, panel discussions, closed-door seminars, and site visits. The forum agenda explores Asia’s evolving role in the global economy, covering global hot topics like geopolitics and financial markets and diverse dialogues on the key growth engines, namely, frontiers in artificial intelligence and biotechnology, urgent demands of the energy transition, and the future of advanced manufacturing and consumption. Senior executives from leading biotech, pharmaceutical, healthcare, lifestyle, and consumer enterprises, will guide pivotal discussions on innovation, brand strategy, market expansion, and sustainability frameworks.

Cao Zhongming, Chinese Ambassador to Singapore, delivered remarks titled “ASEAN–China Business Ties in a Shifting Global Economy,” outlining a vision for deepened cooperation and shared prosperity between ASEAN and China.

Among the forum’s panels, “Trump 2.0 & Asia’s New Playbook” is focused on addressing escalating geopolitical tensions. Speakers including Djoomart Otorbaev, former Prime Minister of the Kyrgyz Republic and Andrew Sheng, Pro-Chancellor of Bristol University, Distinguished Fellow of Asia Global Institute at University of Hong Kong, explored how to reshape trade flows, investment strategies, and the future of regional economic integration amid global uncertainty.

Key panels on the first day included “Investing in Asia: How Businesses and Investors Adapt” to examine opportunities within Asia’s complex investment landscape and “Digital Assets in Motion: The Next Era of Finance” to explore building an adaptive and resilient digital infrastructure while maintaining financial system stability and safeguarding investor rights.

At the networking luncheon, Huang Yiping, Dean of National School of Development at Peking University, delivered a special keynote speech on “China’s Economy: Realities, Visions, and the Path Forward.”

The inaugural Caixin CG Capital Forum was also launched today under the theme of “AI, Automation & The Next Digital Frontier”. Wei Shaojun, Professor of Tsinghua University and IEEE Fellow, delivered a keynote on ” Semiconductors and China’s Next Industrial Revolution.” Representatives from the industry, academia, and research engaged in deep dialogues, offering diverse perspectives to promote the healthy development and practical application of AI technology in Asia.

Day one of the forum concludes with a gala dinner where Fang Xinghai, former Vice Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and Fang Fenglei, founder of Hopu Investment, will lead a dialogue on “Opening the Door: China’s Capital Market and Global Opportunities”, to analyze the current capital market and explore its emerging opportunities.

Over the next two days, the forum will continue to spotlight pressing issues including geopolitics, biotechnology, and green energy with insights from distinguished speakers including former political leaders, senior UN representatives, academic experts, innovators and executives from major corporations. In partnership with STB, a roundtable titled ‘Gateway to Growth: Leveraging Singapore for the Next Stage of Global Expansion’ aims to offer practical frameworks and highlight success stories of corporate international expansion with Singapore as the base.

A unique feature of ANVF is its practical business exchange platform, where Caixin will host a curated set of workshops focused on Chinese enterprises going global. The workshops will address real-world challenges around policy, branding, talent and market entry through the sharing of case studies and expert advice by senior industry representatives. Four workshops will be held on the first two days. On the third day, over 50 executives and entrepreneurs are expected to participate in a customized visit to Bird Paradise in Mandai Wildlife Reserve, while learning about Singapore’s capital markets and its model of integrating sustainability with business.

As a premier regional business leadership forum launched abroad by a Chinese organization, the Asia New Vision Forum has received support from the Singapore government. Now in its third year after its 2023 inception, the forum has steadily grown into an influential international platform for exchange. The Asia New Vision Forum will return to Singapore for its 2027 and 2029 editions.

JERICHO, N.Y.,, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — J.S. Held is pleased to announce that John A. Hudson has joined the firm’s Office of the Chief Intellectual Property Officer as Senior Managing Director, bringing over 25 years of experience in intellectual property (IP) strategy, valuation, and commercialization.

John joins the Office of the Chief IP Officer, led by James E. Malackowski, to further strengthen J.S. Held’s commitment to innovation, value creation, and the management of intangible assets. As intangible assets now represent 72% of the MSCI World Mid-Cap market value, exceeding $8.3 trillion USD, the expansion of the CIPO office reflects the firm’s strategic focus on IP as a core driver of enterprise value for companies of all size.

John, having previously served as Chief Intellectual Property Officer for a food-tech company based in Raleigh, NC, played a pivotal role in transforming the company’s business model from manufacturing to licensing. His leadership in IP strategy, portfolio management, litigation, licensing, and monetization led to the successful execution of an asset sale and two exclusive license agreements—one domestic and one international—positioning the company for long-term sustainability through IP-driven revenue.

John has also held previous positions at a publicly traded global consulting firm, was a Managing Director at one of the Big Four accounting firms, and was an officer in a publicly traded global investment bank.

John’s career spans advisory roles with public and private companies, universities, law firms, venture capital and private equity firms, and government agencies across sectors including technology, media, telecom, healthcare, food & agriculture, industrials, and energy. His expertise includes:

  • Intellectual Property Valuation & Strategy
  • IP Transactions: Sell-side, Buy-side, Licensing
  • Capital Raising & Restructuring
  • Bankruptcy & Distressed Situations
  • M&A Advisory
  • IP Litigation & Dispute Resolution
  • Cross-border Transactions
  • Innovation Commercialization
  • Royalty Audits & Recovery
  • Strategic Communications & Transformation

James E. Malackowski, Chief Intellectual Property Officer at J.S. Held and Ocean Tomo Co-founder, highlighting the value John A. Hudson brings to the firm and its clients, shares, “John Hudson’s addition to the Office of the Chief Intellectual Property Officer significantly enhances our ability to deliver strategic, multidimensional IP advisory services. His deep experience in IP valuation, commercialization, and transactions—combined with a proven track record of transforming innovation into enterprise value—will be a tremendous asset to our clients. John’s leadership strengthens our commitment to helping organizations unlock the full potential of their intangible assets in today’s innovation-driven economy.”

In his new role, John joins the industry’s most comprehensive global IP consulting group. Ocean Tomo’s 360 Degree Intellectual Property Expertise provides continuous feedback enhancing the team’s ability to deliver credible, actionable insights across all matters involving intangible assets.

Clients benefit from Ocean Tomo’s unique understanding of IP value is driven by the firm’s engagement across all matters involving intangible assets, spanning strategic planning, investments, disputes, and transactions. Litigation outcomes refine valuation methodologies, while advisory engagements are shaped by real-world insights from both the boardroom and public markets. Our transaction outcomes—buying, selling, and licensing IP—validate strategic decisions and inform how IP is valued in practice. Ocean Tomo valuations used by IP owners to access capital provide insight on how financial institutions recognize IP as a bankable asset. As a part of J.S. Held, Ocean Tomo works alongside more than 1,500 professionals globally and assists with complex technical, scientific, and financial matters across all assets and value at risk. The team of experts has deep experience with tangible and intangible assets protected by IP.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — S3 Partners, the industry leading provider of real-time short interest and securities finance analytics, today announced that its short interest dataset is now available for enterprise use via Bloomberg Data License. The data is accessible through Bloomberg’s Per Security service, enabling enterprise customers to select exactly the S3 content they need to align with their business priorities. Entitled users can also access S3’s data via the Short Interest solution, {SI< GO >}, on the Bloomberg Terminal, and via the Bloomberg Query Language API (BQL) in Microsoft® Excel and Bloomberg’s BQuant analytics solutions.

This collaboration comes at a time when investment research is becoming increasingly data-driven, with institutional clients seeking multiple datasets beyond traditional fundamentals to better understand market behavior. S3’s dataset provides Bloomberg customers with real-time short interest, financing rates, utilization, and crowding analytics covering more than 62,000 global securities, offering a unique lens into how investors are positioning around a given company.

“The highest priority problems market professionals seek to solve are crowding and concentration risk—if you can’t see them forming, you can’t manage risk”, said Bob Sloan, Founder at S3 Partners “Making S3’s unique data and analytics available in institutional workflows on the Bloomberg Terminal and via Data License gives market participants a clearer read on how to rank, score, ride or rotate position sizing.”

“Short interest is one of the purest signals of investor conviction – revealing where the market is positioned, how crowded a trade has become, and where vulnerabilities may lie,” said Angana Jacob, Global Head of Research Data, Bloomberg Enterprise Data. “With S3’s data now layered into Bloomberg’s rich Research Knowledge Graph, analysts and quants can seamlessly derive contextualized positioning insights that reflect the interaction of fundamentals, estimates revisions, price momentum, factor exposures, implied volatilities, liquidity conditions and sentiment.”

S3’s short interest dataset includes point-in-time and revised feeds, providing institutional investors with comprehensive visibility into short positioning and securities financing dynamics. The company’s proprietary Crowded Score measures multi-factor short side crowdedness, while Squeeze Risk identifies securities most vulnerable to forced covering and volatility events. Together with true short interest, float-adjusted utilization, bid/offer rates, and days-to-cover calculations, these analytics give market participants valuable tools to navigate liquidity stress and rapidly shifting market conditions.
