SLiquid Global: All-in-One Liquid Cooling Ecosystem

By
Advertorial Desk
-

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 July 2025 – On July 16, Data Center Asia 2025 officially opened in Hong Kong. As an innovation practitioner in the field of liquid cooling, SLiquid Global made a significant appearance at the event, unveiling its latest innovations. In addition to delivering a keynote speech at the main forum, the company showcased a range of groundbreaking technologies in the liquid cooling space, including phase-change immersion liquid cooling servers, new generation of liquid-cooling data center overall solution, and cold plate-integrated air-liquid hybrid cooling data center solution.

SLiquid Global：All-in-One Liquid Cooling Ecosystem
SLiquid Global：All-in-One Liquid Cooling Ecosystem

These cutting-edge offerings attracted widespread attention on-site and quickly became one of the highlights of the exhibition.

At the event, Dr. Teny Zhang, CTO of SLiquid Global, shared his insights on the strategic importance of liquid cooling in light of current industry trends. He emphasized that

liquid cooling is not just equipment — it is a full-lifecycle service encompassing system planning, product delivery, and operation & maintenance. Building on this perspective, SLiquid Global has put forward a new service philosophy: All-in-One Liquid Cooling Ecosystem.

Liquid Cooling is Imperative

With the rapid development of technologies such as large-scale AI models and high-density computing, computing power demand continues to surge.

According to industry data, global data center installed capacity reached 46 GW by the end of 2023 and is projected to grow to 87 GW by 2027. Behind this accelerating expansion of computing power lies the parallel rise of energy consumption and thermal management challenges.

As chip design continues to evolve toward higher density and power consumption, traditional air cooling systems are reaching their thermal limits. High energy consumption, low space utilization, excessive noise, and elevated failure rates are making it increasingly difficult for air cooling to meet the growing demands of next-generation data centers in terms of performance, energy efficiency, and reliability.

In contrast, liquid cooling offers significantly higher thermal conductivity, enabling greater computing power deployment within the same physical footprint. It also substantially reduces the energy consumption of auxiliary components such as fans, contributing directly to green energy and sustainability goals. This represents not only a leap forward in technology but also a reflection of the new expectations for energy efficiency, security, and operational stability within computing infrastructure.

The value of liquid cooling is shifting from “efficient heat dissipation” to a strategic enabler of modern data center operations.

From “Cold Equipment” to “Warm Services”: Building a Full-Lifecycle Liquid Cooling Ecosystem

While liquid cooling presents promising prospects, it still faces significant challenges in real-world implementation — from planning and design to deployment. These include difficulty in matching server specifications, a disconnect between design institute experience and liquid cooling requirements, conflicts between liquid cooling systems and traditional HVAC concepts, and the lack of industry-standardized guidelines.

To address these issues, SLiquid Global actively champions the concept of all-in-one liquid cooling ecosystem by offering a one-stop, end-to-end delivery system encompassing system planning, detailed design, product delivery and operation & maintenance. This ecosystem launches new customized services for the full-lifecycle of liquid cooling data centers. This comprehensive service model covers everything from early-stage requirement analysis, architecture planning, and thermal distribution design to mid-stage system integration, production delivery, and installation commissioning; and finally to post-deployment services such as operations training, water quality management, and O&M to ensure system stability.

SLiquid Global has built a closed-loop liquid cooling service ecosystem. At the core of this ecosystem is the company’s proprietary SLiquid Intelligent O&M Platform, which enables a shift from manual operations to intelligent monitoring. The platform integrates key capabilities including real-time system monitoring, fault prediction, and energy efficiency optimization — significantly enhancing the stability and operational efficiency of liquid cooling infrastructure.

SLiquid Global has made strategic investments in the development of liquid cooling technology. With profound technological innovation achievements and solid engineering expertise, the company has established itself as an active innovator and practitioner in liquid cooling research and development. Notably, it has played a critical role in driving the technology’s progression from proof-of-concept to large-scale commercial implementation, relying on its robust technical solution portfolio and powerful service capabilities in the field.

Liquid cooling is more than just equipment — it represents a fundamental shift in service philosophy.

SK bioscience Submits IND for Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial of Adjuvanted Influenza Vaccine Candidate

By
Advertorial Desk
-
  • Company aims for technology advancement and platform expansion with Korea’s first influenza vaccine using an adjuvant
  • Interim results from the Phase 1/2 trial expected by 2027, aimed at entering the high-immunogenicity vaccine market
  • “Our SKYCellflu platform with our adjuvanted vaccine experience will lay a strong foundation for future success.”

SEONGNAM, South Korea, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SK bioscience, a global innovative vaccine and biotech company committed to promoting human health from prevention to cure, today announced that the company has submitted an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) for a Phase 1/2 clinical trials of a new influenza vaccine candidate, ‘NBP607B’. The candidate incorporates an adjuvant into its existing cell-based influenza vaccine, ‘SKYCellflu’ to enhance protective efficacy.

SK bioscience previously utilized adjuvants in its COVID-19 vaccine, ‘SKYCovione’, and now seeks to expand this technology to influenza vaccines as part of its broader platform strategy.

NBP607B contains an adjuvant developed by the Vaccine Formulation Institute (VFI), a Swiss-based non-profit vaccine research organization. Comprising multiple immune-boosting components, the adjuvant is expected to induce strong immune responses and antibody production in elderly individuals. SK bioscience has proactively conducted non-clinical studies since 2023 and reported promising results.

The Phase 1/2 clinical trial is scheduled to begin during the upcoming Northern Hemisphere flu season, enrolling approximately 320 older adults in Korea and abroad. The study will evaluate the vaccine’s immunogenicity and safety compared to an approved high-immunogenicity flu vaccine, with interim results expected by 2027.

This marks the first attempt by a Korean company to submit an IND to develop a high-immunogenicity influenza vaccine using an adjuvant. If successful, the company plans to leverage the platform for other vaccines and establish a competitive edge in the global high-value vaccine market.

The development aligns with global health authorities’ increasing recommendations for enhanced flu vaccines in high-risk groups.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends high-dose or adjuvanted influenza vaccines for adults aged 65 and older. The World Health Organization (WHO) also supports the use of adjuvanted vaccines for vulnerable populations. In Korea, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) has indicated that domestically developed high-immunogenicity vaccines may be considered for inclusion in the National Immunization Program (NIP) if they meet appropriate criteria.

According to market research firm Mordor Intelligence, the global vaccine market is projected to grow from USD 83.9 billion in 2025 to USD 114.8 billion in 2030, with an average annual growth rate of 6.5%. Demand for high-immunogenicity vaccines is expected to rise continuously due to global aging and the increasing number of immunocompromised individuals and those with chronic illnesses.

SKYCellflu, SK bioscience’s existing cell-based influenza vaccine, has already been recognized for its innovation. It became the world’s first cell-based flu vaccine to receive prequalification (PQ) from the WHO and is currently approved in 11 countries, with supply through international procurement programs by United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).

Jaeyong Ahn, CEO of SK bioscience, said, “We believe the combination of our proven SKYCellflu platform and our experience in adjuvanted vaccine development positions us well for success. We aim to establish a differentiated presence in the high-immunogenicity vaccine market while building a flexible platform for future infectious disease preparedness.”

Union Bancaire Privée’s client assets rose by more than 11% to CHF 171.7 billion in the first half of 2025

By
Advertorial Desk
-
  • UBP’s client assets amounted to CHF 171.7 billion at the end of June 2025, an increase of CHF 17.3 billion or 11.2% compared with the end of December 2024.
  • The Bank’s total income rose by 9.7% compared to the first half of 2024.
  • Group profit in the six months to end of June 2025 was CHF 120.7 million.

GENEVA, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — UBP’s client assets totalled CHF 171.7 billion at end of June 2025, compared to CHF 154.4 billion at the end of 2024, representing an increase of 11.2% or CHF 17.3 billion. This growth was driven mainly by the integrations of Societe Generale Private Banking (Suisse) SA and SG Kleinwort Hambros in the first half of 2025. In addition, CHF 4.7 billion of this increase was due to the performance of assets and funds in a positive market environment. These factors offset negative currency effects, mainly caused by the US dollar’s rapid decline against the Swiss franc, which had a CHF 13.2 billion negative impact on client assets. In USD terms, client assets rose by 26.6% to USD 215.7 billion, up from USD 170.4 billion at the end of 2024.

Total income amounted to CHF 736.0 million in the first half of 2025, an increase of 9.7% compared with the same period in the prior year (CHF 670.6 million). This solid momentum was driven by the increase in client assets following recent acquisitions, leading to a 9.1% increase in net result from interest operations (CHF 265.2 million). Fees and commissions rose by 9.2% to CHF 404.2 million, reflecting high levels of transactions among private clients.

Total operating expenses rose by 16.0%, mainly because of non-recurring expenses related to the two acquisitions in Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Personnel expenses were up 13.1%, due to the recruitment of new relationship managers in Asia in late 2024, efforts to strengthen teams in the Compliance and Risk Management departments, and the effect of the ongoing integrations. This demonstrates the Group’s commitment to continuing its international development while adhering to the strictest global compliance and regulatory standards.

In the first half of 2025, Group profit was CHF 120.7 million compared to CHF 138.1 million in the period the year earlier. Total equity remained stable at CHF 2,768.6 million. The liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was 294.6% and the Tier 1 capital ratio was 21.3%, both remaining well in excess of regulatory requirements. These indicators demonstrate the Bank’s ability to maintain a high level of equity and a robust balance sheet after two major transactions.

“In the first-half period, we completed the acquisition of Societe Generale’s private banking activities in Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and the positive effects will materialise after the two entities have been fully integrated. Those transactions form part of our Group’s growth strategy, aimed at expanding the products and services we offer to private and institutional clients, whilst also strengthening our presence in priority markets. They also enabled us to post solid results in the context of a weak dollar, falling interest rates and greater market volatility,” said Guy de Picciotto, UBP’s CEO.

About Union Bancaire Privée (UBP)

Headquartered in Geneva and with more than 30 offices worldwide, UBP is one of the world’s largest family-owned private banks, focused exclusively on wealth and asset management for private and institutional clients. UBP manages CHF 171.7 billion in client assets (all figures as at 30 June 2025).
