Sino Inno Lab and the Spark Promote I&T Integration in Daily Life

Engaging Over 2,000 Individuals in Its First Year in the Northern Metropolis

HONG KONG, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sino Group (‘The Group’) is dedicated to nurturing and attracting talent while supporting the development of the innovation and technology (I&T) ecosystem. Since the opening of Sino Inno Lab and The Spark in the Northern Metropolis last year, the platforms have welcomed more than 1,500 visitors from local universities as well as start-ups in the Greater Bay Area and overseas, and delegates from organisations and educational institutions, in an effort to foster industry dialogue. Recently, The Spark hosted its first Community Wellness Inno Day at One North, bringing I&T closer to the community. The event showcased innovations from local university start-ups and partnered with hive, an organisation promoting balanced living and mindfulness, to offer a range of mind-body wellness activities. Over 500 community members, including underprivileged families and children from the North District, participated, enhancing well-being and raising awareness of wellness technology.

Sino Inno Lab serves as a sandbox platform for start-ups, inventors, and technology companies from Hong Kong, Mainland China and beyond. It provides a space for demonstrating proof-of-concept developments and fostering collaboration on innovative solutions, supporting Hong Kong’s role as a bridge connecting the Greater Bay Area, Mainland China, and the global community, and creating broader opportunities for the local I&T sector. Located in One North, the 4,000 square-foot Sino Inno Lab also houses The Spark, an open exchange platform and a co-working space for I&T professionals. To mark its first anniversary, The Spark organised a Community Wellness Inno Day with a focus on mind-body wellness, inviting start-up teams from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and the University of Hong Kong (HKU) to showcase their technology-driven products and applications for personal health and wellness.

Among them, PanopticAI, a deep-tech company leveraging HKUST’s academic and scientific research, launched the world’s first contactless pulse rate measurement mobile application, powered by AI-driven health data extraction and analysis. During the event, they introduced the ‘Wellness Journey’ in collaboration with Lify Wellness, which incorporates AI Facial Scanning Well-Being Analytics and offers personalised herbal tea recommendations. Dr Kyle Wong, CEO and co-founder of PanopticAI, stated, ‘We were thrilled to take part in Community Wellness Inno Day. It was a wonderful chance to personally introduce our AI technology to the public and witness firsthand how it positively impacts people’s lives. The feedback from and interaction with users has been truly inspiring for our team. This encouragement drives us to keep developing and enhancing our products, working towards our aim of integrating wellness technology into daily life and making a meaningful impact on society.

LocoBike, another HKUST start-up and local shared-bike brand, highlighted the natural beauty of the Northern Metropolis as it introduced its 360° VR cycling experience, which promotes healthy living and eco-friendly commuting. Additionally, a technological showcase highlighting HKU’s research, enhanced by VOTANIC, offered an immersive 360° VR bowling experience, using a high-performance CAVE automatic virtual environment system. This innovation combined health, entertainment, and advanced technology with realistic interactions and physical effects, demonstrating Hong Kong’s potential in virtual reality and AI innovation.

Mr David Ng, Group Associate Director of Sino Group, said, ‘Sino Group is committed to building up the I&T ecosystem through initiatives like the establishment of Sino Inno Lab and The Spark, enhancing the talent pool, and promoting a culture that integrates I&T into daily life while inspiring further development. We believe that the extensive application and advancement of AI will provide convenience and create significant growth opportunities. We appreciate the invaluable support and participation of our partners, industry peers, tenants, and community groups as we strive to leverage technology to strengthen community connections, nurture an I&T culture, and contribute to the ongoing development of the Northern Metropolis.’

Many participants found the event engaging and appreciated experiencing the benefits of AI in daily life. Parents noted the novelty of an AI chess-playing robot and the enjoyment their children derived from mind-body wellness activities. The event provided an opportunity for collaboration with like-minded tenants from One North, including hive, which offered complimentary activities such as Muay Thai self-defense, yoga breathing exercises, and pain point location practice. Another participating tenant, First Climb, provided rock-climbing experiences to encourage physical activity.

One North actively promotes a healthy work-life balance and regularly hosts wellness-focused activities such as yoga classes, running, and cycling events. Its 20,000-square-foot outdoor landscaped area features an accessible cycle track network that stretches from Tsuen Wan to Tuen Mun and Yuen Long Nam Sang Wai, complete with bicycle parking, changing rooms, showers, and electronic lockers to support active travel.

Veda KM (CSRone) Recognized as Best Sustainability Advisory Firm by Acquisition International in UK, Creating Corporate Value with Collaborative Counseling!

TAIPEI, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Veda KM (CSRone), Veda International Group’s Sustainability Consultation Team, becomes Taiwan’s only firm to be awarded the Best Sustainability Advisory Firm by Acquisition International, demonstrating the professionalism and achievements of consultation teams assisting corporates to implement sustainability solutions. Under the situation of deepening global sustainability trends, Veda KM (CSRone) ‘s sustainability consultants not only commit to sustainability strategy development and information consultation for Taiwan and Asia-Pacific corporations but also involve deeply in industry transformation. Veda KM (CSRone) assists corporates to establish scientific foundations for carbon-reduction, supply chain management, and governance, allowing corporates to move forward steadily amidst the changes.

This international recognition by UK is an endorsement of CSRone/Veda KM’s professionalism, indicating its role as a strategic partner and important facilitator in the process of corporate sustainability. In recent years, CSRone/Veda KM also received two other international awards including Environment Analyst’s Net-Zero Accelerator Award-SMEs and Wealth & Finance International’s Most Pioneering CSR Support Enterprise. Domestically, CSRone/Veda KM was the only public relations firm to be granted Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy’s Corporate Sustainability Report Platinum Award in the service category. This year, CSRone/Veda KM sets a new achievement being recognized with Taiwan’s best consultant award with the 2024 CSR Awards organized by Acquisition International, UK’s monthly digital business magazine.

Primarily providing business strategy solutions and sustainability knowledge management services, CSRone/Veda KM promotes and counsels corporates to advance sustainability development through the power of knowledge integration. Its clients include industry leaders from the plastic, automobile, technology, finance, fashion, and medical industries. Through collaborative counseling, long-term relationships are established with corporates, allowing them to respond to evolving sustainability trends, regulatory pressures, and stakeholder engagement challenges.

Gennie Yen, CEO of Veda International Group and Founder of CSRone, shares that, “Veda KM (CSRone) has insisted on knowledge-based sustainability transformation for corporates. The award not only recognizes the service quality of our consultation team but also makes us believe that self-directed professional services and collaborative counseling brings more meaningful and effective sustainability value from the inside out.”

Richard Chen, Executive VP of Veda International Group and Head of APAC Business Strategy & Development, also points out that “we involve corporate sustainability practitioners in every step of the counseling process, from conception to implementation. This is because we believe that creating value together with our clients is the key to changing the nature of a company.”

With the weakening corporate commitment to sustainability development, the urgent need for decarbonization, tackling plastic pollution, protecting biodiversity, conserving water resources, and addressing inequality is increasing. We hope corporates understand that sustainability transformation will not die—it changes over time, and they must be proactively prepared to meet new sustainability challenges.

Senhwa Biosciences Announces Positive Clinical Data from Phase 1/Expansion Trial of Silmitasertib (CX-4945) in the Treatment of Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal Cell Carcinoma CSR Highlights

  • CX-4945 Monotherapy: Progression-free survival (PFS) exceeded 21 months in two patients.
  • Optimal Treatment Response: Three patients achieved partial response (PR), while ten patients had stable disease (SD).
  • Tolerability & Disease Control Rate: Shows potential superiority over current first- and second-line therapies.
  • Unmet Medical Need: Enrolled patients with refractory or recurrent disease who had no remaining treatment options.

TAIPEI and SAN DIEGO, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Senhwa Biosciences, Inc. (TPEx: 6492), a new drug development company focusing on first-in-class therapeutics for oncology, rare diseases, and infectious diseases, today announced that the completion of Clinical Study Report (CSR) for Phase 1/Dose Expansion Trial of Silmitasertib (CX-4945) in the Treatment of Basal Cell Carcinoma(BCC), with positive data outcomes. The study included patients who had relapsed after standard therapies and had no other treatment options. Among them, three patients experienced over 30% tumor reduction (PR), and two patients had a progression-free survival (PFS) exceeding 21 months. CX-4945 significantly prolonged survival in advanced cancer patients, marking a major milestone for both the patients and Senhwa.

Compared to current first- and second-line therapies, CX-4945 demonstrated superior tolerability and disease control potential. Therefore, Senhwa will actively pursue licensing possibilities while carefully evaluating CX-4945’s potential as a monotherapy or in combination with the second-line immunotherapy Libtayo. The company aims to explore further indications and potential as a first-line treatment, offering better options for patients.

Clinical Trial Overview

The trial enrolled 25 patients with locally advanced BCC (laBCC, 20 patients) and metastatic BCC (mBCC, 5 patients). The primary objective was to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and optimal dosing regimen for CX-4945.

Among 22 patients eligible for efficacy analysis:

  • Three laBCC patients achieved partial response (PR).
  • Ten patients had stable disease (SD), including 2 mBCC and 8 laBCC patients.
  • Disease control rates:
    • mBCC patients: 80% (4 patients with complete/partial response or stable disease).
    • laBCC patients: 65% (11 patients with complete/partial response or stable disease).

Further data analysis showed that:

  • Median progression-free survival (PFS):
    • laBCC: 9.2 months
    • mBCC: 3.7 months
  • Median duration of disease control (DDC):
    • laBCC: 10.3 months
    • mBCC: 7.5 months

CX-4945 exhibited promising anti-tumor efficacy and disease stabilization potential in this indication. Additionally, CX-4945 has a lower study drug discontinuation rate of 24% due to AEs, compared to first-line treatments including Vismodegib and Sonidegib, suggesting superior tolerability.

Future Prospects

This trial is particularly noteworthy as it evaluated CX-4945 monotherapy in patients who had already failed first-line HHIs. Notably, 27.3% (6 patients) had also failed second-line PD-1 inhibitors such as Libtayo or Keytruda.

Among the enrolled patients, two advanced-stage patients achieved a progression-free survival (PFS) of over 21 months, lasting 653 days and 667 days, respectively. Notably, the primary lesion of the former patient was almost undetectable by visual inspection.

Given the significant potential of CX-4945 as a monotherapy, Senhwa is now actively pursuing regional licensing to accelerate commercialization through strategic partnerships, ultimately benefiting more patients.
