SHENZHEN, China, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On April 16, a delegation led by officials from Indonesia’s Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology, along with representatives from Esa Unggul University, Multimedia Nusantara University, Bhayangkara Jakarta Raya University, Budi Luhur, Gunadarma University, Borobudur University, and Jakarta International University, visited ANGEL Group’s China headquarters in Shenzhen. ANGEL Group Chairman and President Kong Na received the delegation and held discussions on safe, healthy campus water systems and new opportunities in university-industry collaboration.
Deep Collaboration with Universities: Backed by Proven Experience
As a leader in the water purification industry, ANGEL has built direct drinking water systems for many top Chinese universities, including South China University of Technology. These systems ensure safe, reliable drinking water access for large populations even during peak demand, while also aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 6—Clean Water and Sanitation—through energy-saving and emissions-reducing practices.
Future Areas of Collaboration: Safe Drinking Water and Talent Development
The Indonesian delegation expressed keen interest in ANGEL’s technical strength and practical experience in drinking water solutions for educational institutions, highlighting two main areas of cooperation.
1. Direct Drinking Water Deployment: Most educational institutions in Indonesia rely heavily on bottled water. The delegation hopes to introduce ANGEL’s solutions to reduce plastic consumption, enhance drinking water safety, and raise environmental awareness.
2. Talent Development and Industry Collaboration: The delegation aims to expand internship opportunities both domestically and internationally. ANGEL proposed three models of cooperation—market research projects, innovation competitions, and corporate internships—highlighting its previous program with National University of Singapore, where outstanding students earned placements at ANGEL.
Co-Creating Safe and Green Campuses
The visit marked a milestone in building a bridge between ANGEL and Indonesia’s education sector. It provided practical, scalable models for improving educational institutions’ water infrastructure while opening doors to future collaboration in sustainability and talent development. Committed to the mission of “Creating a Healthy and Wonderful Life,” ANGEL will continue to explore opportunities with the Indonesian Ministry of Education and universities, leveraging advanced technology and localized services to deliver healthier water solutions and foster green, sustainable campuses across Indonesia.
HAIKOU, China, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from HIMC:
On Apr. 13, the 5th China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE) opened in Haikou, capital city of Hainan Province. This year, over 1,700 companies from 70+ countries and regions put more than 4,100 brands on display at the event.
On Apr. 13, the guest country of honor UK Pavilion opened at the 5th China International Consumer Products Expo.
“The Hainan Expo gave me a sense of the huge potential of China’s consumer market,” said Ramel François Félix, CEO of Vignerons du Castelas, who is attending his 5th CICPE in a row. Over the past four years, he has met over a hundred Chinese business partners at the Expo, greatly facilitating his business.
As China’s only national-level consumer product themed expo, China’s huge market advantage makes attending the Expo very attractive.
There are several notable differences at this year’s Expo. Exhibition groups from Slovakia, Singapore, Brazil, and several other countries attended for the first time, special exhibition areas for AI and the low-altitude economy were a new feature, and an online pre-matching plus in-person in-depth negotiation supply and demand matching model also debuted.
As of Apr. 16, the midpoint of the Expo, a total of 150 billion yuan ($20.56 billion) of transaction agreements had already been made, with 52 project agreements signed in three official supply and demand matchmaking meetings. Twenty of these were signed at country-specific sessions, with Chinese and international exhibitors reaching agreement for a wide variety of procurement and transaction projects.
At this year’s Expo, Hainan also welcomed large numbers of new orders and collaborative agreements. Many project agreements in the areas of autonomous driving, smart transportation infrastructure, and smart travel services were achieved.
Hangzhou’s Unitree Robotics exhibited varieties of robot products, and received many orders from Hainan for items related to university-level scientific research, public security patrols, and other fields.
On Apr. 17, Hangzhou’s Unitree Robotics G1 Robot extended an ‘AI hand’ to the audience in the AI exhibition area in Hall 1 of the Expo.
The Fosun Tourism Group announced that ULTRAMED, a major tourism and cultural project, will open in Haitang Bay, Sanya.
There was a sense of great openness both inside the venue as well as outside.
Unlike in the past, many international exhibitors and buyers no longer needed to apply for visas to participate, thanks to Hainan’s 59 Country Visa Free Entry Policy along with nationally applicable comprehensive bilateral and unilateral visa-free policies, which combined permit travelers from 77 countries to enter Hainan visa free.
In Hainan, special management measures for cross-border trade in services and greater market access for foreign investment access have been implemented. The province is also accelerating the exploration and establishment of a coordinated model for domestic and international investment access suited to the unique conditions of the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP).
This year, special customs operations will be established in the FTP. “The institutional opening advantages of Hainan will become more and more available, bringing greater investment opportunities.” William Huang, EY China South Managing Partner, believes that thanks to the opportunities brought by the CICPE and the favorable development conditions of the Hainan FTP, more multinational companies will increase their presence in Hainan.

BEIJING, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference 2025, discussions in multiple languages echoed across packed venues. Over 1,000 guests from more than 60 countries and regions gathered to witness the new chapter of openness in the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP).
“Investing in Hainan is investing in China, while investing in China is investing in the future” has become a shared belief.
Carl F. Fey, professor of strategy at BI Norwegian Business School, said that the island-wide zero-tariff policy following the FTP’s independent customs operations will significantly reduce costs for businesses.
Ben Simpfendorfer, a partner at the leading international management consulting firm Oliver Wyman, noted that Hainan’s unique customs system is becoming a key gateway between China and the Global South.
Hainan regards reform as a top priority in its drive to build a first-class business environment.
Wang Xuehao, deputy head of the Hainan Provincial Department of Business Environment Development, said that Hainan has formulated a series of opening-up measures to create a “foreign investment-friendly” business environment and streamlined full-process services for foreign nationals.
As a witness to Hainan’s development, Swire Coca-Cola’s operations in the province have spanned 36 years. The company’s newly established supply chain management firm, which settled in Hainan in 2023, has truly benefited from policy dividends such as the “double 15 percent” tax incentives.
By the end of 2024, the province was home to 9,979 foreign-funded enterprises, with 77.3 percent established after the launch of the FTP. The number of countries and regions investing in Hainan has surged from 43 to over 170.
Now, Hainan is preparing a series of major events to translate the blueprint of its modern industrial system into more cross-border collaborations and accelerate its path toward high-level opening-up.
