Healthcare Sector Faces Escalating Cybersecurity Risks Amid Digital Transformation

Advanced Security Solutions and Regulatory Compliance Key to Strengthening Resilience

LONDON, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The digital transformation of healthcare is improving patient care and operational efficiency but has also exposed the sector to heightened cybersecurity threats. Ransomware attacks, data breaches, and unauthorised access to sensitive information have surged, making healthcare a prime target for cybercriminals.

Frost & Sullivan’s latest growth opportunity analysis highlights the urgent need for healthcare organisations to strengthen cybersecurity frameworks and invest in advanced security solutions to protect patient data and ensure operational resilience.

Healthcare Security Market Poised for Significant Growth

As healthcare organisations prioritise security, the global healthcare cybersecurity market is set to grow from $84.53 billion in 2023 to $174.79 billion by 2030. This growth is driven by the increasing integration of cybersecurity capabilities and the enforcement of stringent data protection laws across regions.

North America and Europe to Drive Security Investments

The North American healthcare sector is expected to remain the largest regional market for healthcare security, with spending anticipated to achieve a CAGR of 11.4% by 2030. The United States continues to lead the development of security standards and regulatory frameworks, ensuring that healthcare providers remain resilient against emerging cyber threats.

Meanwhile, Europe is also witnessing significant growth in healthcare cybersecurity investments, driven by the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and increasing awareness of the need for advanced security measures. European healthcare institutions are focusing on threat intelligence and proactive security strategies to safeguard critical infrastructure, with cybersecurity spending in the region projected to grow steadily over the forecast period.

Frost & Sullivan forecasts that spending on threat intelligence solutions – one of the fastest-growing segments – will increase globally from $202.4 million in 2023 to $879.2 million by 2030, at an impressive CAGR of 23.4%. With hospitals and healthcare entities being prime targets for ransomware attacks and phishing schemesthreat intelligence is becoming an essential component of a robust security strategy.

Danielle VanZandt, Growth Expert at Frost & Sullivan, highlights the importance of a multi-faceted approach to security: “A resilient security ecosystem requires not only cutting-edge cybersecurity tools but also robust policies and continuous staff education. By combining technology with workforce training, healthcare organisations can build a secure foundation for digital transformation.”

Looking Ahead: The Future of Healthcare Security

As cyber threats evolve, the integration of threat intelligence tools, proactive security measures, and compliance with regulatory frameworks will be critical to maintaining a secure healthcare environment. Healthcare organisations that invest in these capabilities will be better equipped to protect sensitive patient data while continuing to provide uninterrupted care.

This comes after Metrea announced in July the acquisition of the French Air & Space Force C-135FR and KC-135RG tanker fleet, increasing their presence in the commercial AAR market by fourteen tankers from an initial four KC-135R tankers. Metrea’s fleet of 18 now stands as the world’s largest commercial aerial refueling fleet which eclipses all but four sovereign countries in terms of size and capability.

As the only company to own and operate a fleet of C-/KC-135 aircraft, Metrea offers an air-to-air refueling service that seamlessly, safely, and professionally integrates into military aviation training and operations. This new contract with India represents additional growth of the commercial AAR market beyond Metrea’s existing contract with the US Navy which already supports a large and growing list of US, allied, and partner air forces. The combined Metrea aviation units have flown over 130,000 hours, across multiple aircraft types, missions, and geographies in support of US, UK, and other allied and partner government national security objectives.

Metrea’s tanker aircraft are equipped with two wing-mounted Multi-Point Refueling System (MPRS) pods which facilitate refueling with probe equipped Navy, Marine Corps and partner nation aircraft.

“Metrea is honored to be working with the Indian Air Force. Our contract will quickly expand their AAR training capability and will facilitate extensive training, exercise, and movement opportunities to improve IAF readiness.” (James “Slim” Morgan – Head of Metrea Strategic Mobility)

The Grand Opening of The Whiteley Ushers In A New Era For Queensway

LONDON, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Whiteley, London’s first department store, has been reimagined as a landmark residential and hospitality destination. Marking the pinnacle of its eight-year transformation, councillors, residents, stakeholders, professional teams, neighbours and The Whiteley Community Foundation, gathered to celebrate the grand opening of this magnificent storied building. The show-stopping event, attended by over 600 guests was hosted by MARK and C C Land.

The momentous celebration was held in The Whiteley’s palatial atrium beneath a grand pavilion, to honour the achievements and broad neighbourhood regeneration created by this 1,000,000 sq. ft. scheme. Beneath the building’s iconic dome, its courtyard was transformed into a striking circular bar, where guests enjoyed masterfully crafted cocktails whilst immersing themselves in the evening’s world-class entertainment. With a captivating performance by renowned singer-songwriter Rag’n’Bone Man, followed by a dazzling set from London-based DJ Sally K, the evening was an unforgettable celebration. Adding to the spectacle, aerialist performers glided gracefully through the atrium’s soaring voids and a semi-circular stage served as the event’s focal point, showcasing a film by the team behind The Whiteley’s transformation.

Originally completed in 1911 by William Whiteley, Whiteley’s department store was once a global emporium. Today, The Whiteley’s regeneration breathes new life into this historical icon whilst forming the cornerstone of Queensway’s ambitious £3 billion revival. The Queensway Steering Group – a collective of local landowners – is driving a transformative vision for the street, reshaping it into one of London’s most dynamic new neighbourhoods. This ambitious rejuvenation includes major public realm improvements such as widened pavements, extensive regreening and upgraded tube stations. Additionally, the introduction of new pavilions for all-day outdoor dining, public art installations and a brand-new entrance to Hyde Park – set for completion this year – will all solidify Queensway’s reputation as a vibrant hub.

The founding force behind The Queensway Steering Group, The Whiteley is leading the way in redefining the area, establishing it as a sought-after destination for both visitors and residents alike. Central to Queensway’s transformation is The Whiteley’s curated selection of commercial tenants. In addition to the UK’s first Six Senses hotel, other notable brands that will call The Whiteley home include an Everyman Cinema, a Third Space gym and a new restaurant by Pachamama Group. The first retail tenants will open in summer 2025.

The residential offering at The Whiteley seamlessly blends heritage with contemporary design, within a collection of newly constructed buildings set behind a historic façade. Foster + Partners’ architectural masterplan provides a grand canvas for 139 unique homes which are all aesthetically connected by exquisite detailing and natural light. Nestled amongst restored original architectural features, including a majestic glass dome and an iconic clock tower, residences range from studios to five-bedroom apartments and a collection of townhouses and penthouses. With 70% of the apartments now sold, The Whiteley is already home to many residents as owners began moving in from late 2024. This enclave just north of Hyde Park is now setting sales records, with The Whiteley achieving an average of £3,600 per sq. ft., and a 200% premium over the surrounding Bayswater area, according to Savills. Proving a popular choice for both domestic and international buyers alike, the scheme has seen significant interest from British, American, Asian and European buyers.

Beyond the residences, purchasers at The Whiteley enjoy access to an impressive 60,000 sq. ft. of exclusive amenities. These include a 20-meter swimming pool, a state-of-the-art gym, a padel court, children’s playrooms, a library, and a world leading spa. Additionally, à la carte services including grocery stocking, wine sommelier expertise, as well as pet care and dog walking, set an unprecedented global standard for residential living.

With a gross development value of over £1.5 billion, The Whiteley has firmly established itself as the transformative project in London, not only redefining the landscape of Queensway but also setting a new benchmark for luxury living in the city. The celebratory event, supported by influential groups including Westminster City Council, and SEBRA was a defining moment, ushering in a vibrant new chapter in The Whiteley’s remarkable history.

Modern Meadow’s Sustainable Biomaterial Selected by Designer Karmuel Young for Sustasia Fashion Prize Submission

Karmuel Young created a four-in-one jumpsuit made of INNOVERA™ for his final competition piece displayed at Shanghai Fashion Week

NUTLEY, N.J., April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Modern Meadow, a leader in sustainable materials, announced today Karmuel Young, founder of the Karmuel Young label, used the company’s biomaterial in his Sustasia Fashion Prize submission. Young, based in Hong Kong, elected to use Modern Meadow’s INNOVERA™, formerly known as BIO-VERA®, in his four-in-one jumpsuit that can transition from a jumpsuit to a long coat, short jacket and pants.

Organized by the Shanghai Fashion Designers Association and yehyehyeh, the 2025 Sustasia Fashion Prize is designed to accelerate sustainable practices and innovation in Asia’s fashion industry. By providing a monetary award and industry support, the prize encourages designers to combine sustainable principles, innovative materials and new techniques into their work. The eight prize finalists from across Asia presented their final works on March 28 to a panel of judges who assessed based on sustainability, innovation, aesthetics and practicality.

“We are honored that Karmuel Young chose to use our INNOVERA™ biomaterial in his Sustasia Fashion Prize design to showcase the beauty and versatility of sustainable innovative materials in clothing,” said David Williamson, PhD, CEO of Modern Meadow. “We, like the organizers of the Sustasia Fashion Prize who seek to address sustainability within the fashion industry, are inspired by nature and driven by purpose to introduce new materials and processes that can enable a healthier future for our planet.”

Young, whose brand focuses on a modern masculine wardrobe, used camel INNOVERA™ in suede for his design. He created a multi-functional piece with a modern twist for men to wear for different purposes, meant to promote longevity and timelessness. Given how INNOVERA™ is engineered to replicate the look and feel of the collagen found in leather, the material is ready to resonate through infinite design interpretations. It is crafted using plant-based proteins, biopolymers, and recycled rubber – resulting in over 80% renewable carbon content, and is 25% lighter and two times as strong. It can be customized in color, hand feel, and nap depending on how the designer prefers to use it.

“This is my first convertible look, and it will give men more options to style their wardrobes in a timeless, sustainable way,” Young said. “Modern Meadow’s INNOVERA™ has the smell, look and feel of luxury and held its form well across my stitching and buttons. Being able to do good by using biomaterials and thinking about my impact on earth is very important to my designs and I look forward to incorporating more of these materials in the future.”

Now until April 6, the exhibition of the finalists’ submissions will be open to the public at SUHE HAUS in Shanghai.

Shenzhen Kingkey Smart Agriculture Times Reports RMB 714 Million Net Profit in 2024, Showcasing Resilience in Pig Farming Business

SHENZHEN, March 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On the evening of March 30, Shenzhen Kingkey Smart Agriculture Times (000048.SZ) released its 2024 annual financial report, demonstrating significant achievements in its strategic transformation focused on pig farming as the core business. The report shows the company achieved operating revenue of RMB 5.96 billion, net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB 714 million, non-GAAP net profit of RMB 786 million, and basic earnings per share of RMB 1.38

Notably, the company’s profit structure has undergone fundamental changes. In 2024, the pig farming business generated revenue of RMB 3.901 billion, representing year-on-year growth of 38.69% and accounting for 65.45% of total revenue, delivering profits despite challenging market conditions. 

Concurrently, the company announced its 2024 profit distribution plan, proposing a cash dividend of RMB 3.5 per 10 shares (tax inclusive), totaling RMB 182 million. Against the cyclical fluctuations in the pig farming industry, the company’s strong performance – with excellent breeding costs of RMB 13.67/kg and robust operating cash flow reaching RMB 997 million – provides solid support for the generous dividend distribution, fulfilling its commitment to shareholder returns. 

Strong Pig Farming Performance: Achieving 2 Million Hogs in Five Years

During the reporting period, Shenzhen Kingkey Smart Agriculture Times’ pig farming business sold a total of 2.1461 million hogs, a year-on-year increase of 16.32%, with sales revenue reaching RMB 3.901 billion and net profit of RMB 533 million

This performance marks a fundamental success in the company’s strategic transformation initiated in 2019, with modern agriculture now established as a core sustainable growth driver. 

The company’s transformation focused on two key pillars: business restructuring and continuous capacity expansion. Four major pig farming projects and supporting feed mills were completed and operationalized at “Shenzhen speed,” delivering “Shenzhen quality” to the Greater Bay Area. In 2022, the company achieved its “one million hogs in three years” target with an output of 1.2644 million hogs. By 2024, output officially surpassed the 2 million mark, accomplishing the “two million hogs in five years” milestone. Rapid capacity release, quality assurance, and regional premiums in the Greater Bay Area have accelerated the transition from the previous property-dominated profit structure. 

In its real estate business, the company reported annual revenue of RMB 1.234 billion and net profit of RMB 229 million in 2024. With no new project deliveries, revenue and profits from property sales declined significantly year-on-year. As inventory clearance gradually progresses and the agricultural business grows steadily, the company’s healthy operations will be further strengthened. 

Digital Solutions Overcome Cost Pressures: Notable R&D Achievements

Over the past year, amid the industry’s “low-margin” competition, the company achieved excellent results in breeding efficiency and cost control through deep integration of digitalization and industrialization, demonstrating the resilience of high-quality pig farming development. Data shows that in February 2025, the company’s full breeding cost decreased to RMB 13.67/kg, positioning it among the industry’s top performers. 

Specifically, the company adopted a “high-rise cluster + 6750 integrated self-breeding and self-raising” model, supported by eight intelligent farming systems, effectively improving breeding efficiency. Advanced technologies including precision nutrition systems, four-week batch production models, three-batch hog sales strategies, and metagenomic sequencing further enhanced production levels, achieving cost reductions and efficiency improvements. 

The annual report shows the company’s R&D investment in 2024 reached RMB 52.1089 million, a year-on-year increase of 20.89%. By year-end, it had accumulated 34 national patents and 9 software copyrights. Through ongoing collaboration with institutions including South China Agricultural University, the company undertook national “14th Five-Year Plan” R&D projects, won the Guangdong Provincial Agricultural Technology Promotion Award, and led the approval of the Guangdong Provincial Local Standard “Technical Specifications for Biosafety in Multi-Story (Building) Large-Scale Pig Farms.” 

Active Support for Rural Revitalization: Advancing ESG Initiatives

The company’s investments in new quality productivity extend beyond efficiency and cost reduction to green ecology and rural revitalization. In 2024, it signed a Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement with the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences’ Institute of Animal Science to jointly develop environmentally friendly pig farms, providing practical cases and technical support for sustainable agricultural development. 

Furthermore, adhering to the principles of “reduce, reuse, recycle,” the company integrated crop cultivation with its four major project sites to establish a circular farming system. Through organic fertilizer application, it improved soil fertility and supported farmers’ production. Statistics indicate the company donated over 1,600 tons of organic fertilizer last year, helping villagers reduce costs and increase income. 

Shenzhen Kingkey Smart Agriculture Times has long actively responded to national policies and deeply participated in rural revitalization initiatives. In 2024, it established “Guangdong Kingkey Smart Agriculture Times Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd.” to expand the “company + family farms” model, leveraging advanced technology spillover effects to stimulate rural economic vitality and promote industrial upgrading. In rural public welfare, the company invested a total of RMB3.38 million in 2024 through initiatives including holiday visits, care for the elderly and children, educational donations, cultural sponsorships, and rural infrastructure funding, comprehensively supporting rural revitalization. 

With continuous efforts in environmental, social and governance (ESG) areas, the company has received numerous accolades including “Outstanding Rural Revitalization Practice Case for Listed Companies,” “ESG Exemplary Enterprise Award,” and “High-Quality Development Listed Company.” 

As an agricultural and animal husbandry listed enterprise, Shenzhen Kingkey Smart Agriculture Times remains committed to its strategic focus on agriculture, anchored to the goal of high-quality development. The successful transformation and cost-efficiency achievements in 2024 have laid a solid foundation for its growth in smart farming. Moving forward, the company will continue to pursue high-quality development, deepen its expertise in smart agriculture, and establish itself as a benchmark for agricultural industrialization, creating more value for shareholders and society while contributing to rural revitalization and agricultural modernization.
