HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2026 – Genki AI, an all-in-one AI autonomous engine for IP management, officially launched globally on May 1, 2026. It solves critical pain points in the creator economy: most creators excel at IP incubation but lack skills in product design, supply chain and cross-border operations, while existing tools are fragmented and cause serious “value leakage”.
With the core concept “From Ideas To Income – Instantly”, Genki AI provides a one-click full-chain workflow. Creators only need to upload images or input prompts, and the platform automatically generates IP assets and POD product mock-ups, creates localized e-commerce pages, produces multi-channel marketing materials, and connects global logistics and distribution networks. Unlike traditional e-commerce platforms or single AI tools, it integrates the entire commercial value chain.
In private beta testing, creators launched global stores in less than 15 minutes, far shorter than the traditional 3–6 months. Top IP collections achieved over 3.2% conversion rate and more than $3,250 in first-week sales, reducing backend operation time by 90%.
To celebrate its launch, Genki AI launched the Global Creator Recruitment Program for digital artists. Selected partners can enjoy priority exposure, exclusive onboarding support and favorable revenue sharing, while keeping full IP ownership.
Genki AI aims to shift the creator economy from traffic competition to long-term IP value building. It lets creators focus on creation while AI handles complex global commerce. The platform will keep upgrading its AI and cross-border services, helping every creative idea realize global commercial value.

Its Video Quality Enhancement and Smart Erase solutions were winners in the Streaming category and Intelligent Technology category.
Diffusion Transformer (DiT) for Video Quality Enhancement and Super-Resolution in Live Streaming
This AI-driven DiT enhancement technology delivers high-fidelity visual quality across diverse use cases such as OTT platforms, live e-commerce, gaming, short-form video, AIGC content generation, and professional video production – beyond the typical livestreaming use case. Powered by cutting-edge DiT architecture—advancing beyond conventional CNN and GAN approaches—it delivers authentic, natural texture details and industry-leading real-time performance across video enhancement scenarios, setting a new global benchmark for video enhancement.
Designed for the global-market, its capabilities include real-time 4K super-resolution—critical for high-resolution devices and immersive experiences across diverse use cases—compression artifact removal to eliminate transmission glitches, 120 FPS frame interpolation for smooth playback, targeted ROI (Face/Text) enhancement, and SDR-to-HDR and color enhancement to deliver lifelike visuals resonating with global audiences. With flexible visual tuning driven by self-developed AI vision large models, the platform smoothly adapts to all kinds of business scenarios such as the low-latency demands of real-time live streaming, steadily improving key operational outcomes, including user quality of experience (QoE), platform watch time, and overall advertising performance.
Smart Erase in the Global Distribution of Short Dramas and E-commerce
Complementing the DiT enhancement solution, Smart Erase is an intelligent video processing tool that enables seamless blurring, mosaicking or removal of logos, subtitles, faces and license plates. It automates privacy protection for sensitive visual elements, and is widely adopted by short drama platforms, cross-border e-commerce brands and independent media studios to streamline global content localization and expand content reach worldwide.
Its core capabilities include AI-driven subtitle removal, logo removal, and privacy protection (automatic blur/mosaicking of faces and license plates). Built on Latent Space Transformers, its end-to-end generative architecture ensures seamless restoration, while flexible modes (Automatic, Designated Region, Hybrid) and batch processing support massive video volumes, integrating with OCR, translation, and AI dubbing for efficient multi-language content localization.

“Securing two NAB Show awards is a testament to Tencent Cloud’s dedication to building AI-driven video technologies that solve the most pressing challenges facing global media, e-commerce, and gaming partners,” said Gary Hsu, Head of MediaSolutions, North America. “Our DiT enhancement solution is not limited to live streaming—it elevates visual quality across OTT, live e-commerce, gaming, short videos, AIGC, and professional production—while Smart Erase simplifies global content localization, reducing costs and improving efficiency. Both innovations are designed to support our partners stand out in a competitive global market.”
“These awards reinforce that our focus on user-centric innovation is resonating globally,” added Gary. “DiT addresses the trade-off between visual quality and speed, delivering cinema-grade experiences without latency, while Smart Erase automates tedious content cleanup and localization—empowering brands to accelerate time-to-market and broaden their global reach. We’re proud to lead the industry in redefining what’s possible with video technology, and we’re excited to continue empowering our global partners to thrive.”

Investment reinforces GameAbove’s long-term commitment to performance-driven innovation in global golf
FORT MYERS, Fla., April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GameAbove Golf today announced it is among lead investors in McLaren Golf. This investment expands GameAbove’s presence in the global golf industry and aligns it with one of the most recognized performance brands in sport.
On April 29, 2026, in Miami, McLaren Golf introduced its precision-designed Series 1 and Series 3 irons, coinciding with the Miami Grand Prix and PGA Tour’s Miami events. This launch reflects a broader shift toward premium, performance-focused equipment and global brands.
For GameAbove Golf, this investment is a strategic decision to support ventures that combine brand strength, technical expertise, and global scalability in premium sports segments.
“GameAbove invests in organizations that are built to lead,” said Keith J. Stone, Founder and Chairman of GameAbove. “McLaren has spent decades proving that precision engineering, data-driven development, and a relentless pursuit of performance can redefine an industry. Applying that philosophy to golf equipment is both logical and transformative. We see this as a pivotal moment for the game and a strategic opportunity to help shape its future.”
Golf continues to evolve into a performance-driven global market, with growing demand for differentiated products driven by materials science, data-driven design, and measurable results. By entering the equipment category, McLaren brings decades of competitive development expertise to a sport where consistency, repeatability, and confidence are essential. GameAbove’s investment is based on this alignment.
“Elite performance is not accidental; it is engineered,” said Adam Squire, Director of Sports Operations at GameAbove. “McLaren’s DNA is rooted in pushing technical boundaries and delivering a competitive edge you can measure. Bringing that capability into golf equipment creates a compelling new benchmark. From an investment standpoint, this is about backing a brand with structural advantages, engineering expertise, global reach, and an uncompromising commitment to performance.”
McLaren Golf uses Metal Injection Molding (MIM) for its irons, an advanced process rarely used at scale in golf because of its complexity and cost. MIM gives McLaren Golf precision control over material composition, internal geometry, and mass distribution, unlocking freedom not possible with traditional forging or casting. Every gram of weight, structural element, and performance characteristic can be intentionally designed.
This granular process reflects McLaren’s philosophy for supercars and racing: no detail is too small, and no gain is too marginal.
This announcement highlights GameAbove Golf’s ambition to become a leading strategic investor in the golf industry. With strong global participation and rising demand for premium equipment, GameAbove aims to partner with ventures that elevate standards and expand internationally.
About McLaren Golf McLaren Golf is a high-performance golf equipment company built on the engineering DNA of McLaren Racing and McLaren Automotive.
With operations at the McLaren Technology Centre (MTC) in Woking, England and in Carlsbad, California — a global hub for golf equipment design, engineering and development — McLaren Golf brings together leading minds from both industries to advance the boundaries of design, materials and manufacturing.

A first-of-its-kind multi-country adult respiratory health awareness campaign is now live across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines
SINGAPORE, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In conjunction with World Immunisation Week, Pfizer Singapore, together with healthcare professionals, has launched “For the Reasons that Matter”, a public awareness campaign focused on adult respiratory health. Rolling out simultaneously across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, the campaign brings together medical experts and healthcare professionals to raise awareness of how serious respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19, influenza, RSV and pneumococcal pneumonia, can affect quality of life, independence and the ability to remain present for the people and responsibilities that matter most.
“Across all four of our markets, we are seeing a clear gap between what adults want for their health and the steps they take to protect it. Many adults care deeply about staying well, yet conversations about respiratory health are often delayed until something feels urgent. ‘For the Reasons that Matter’ was created to make this conversation more relevant, more human and more actionable. It is about helping adults stay well, with healthcare professionals playing a vital role in guiding those conversations,” said Ms Deborah Seifert, Cluster Lead, Pfizer Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Singapore sees even greater urgency for action due to their high proportion of elderly. The country is projected to attain super-aged status in 2026, with one in four citizens aged 65 and above by 2030. In addition, pneumonia accounts for a high burden of disease, causing approximately 20% of deaths in Singapore from 2022-2024, and is one of the country’s leading causes of mortality, according to the Ministry of Health Singapore.
World Immunization Week, observed annually in the last week of April, is a reminder that the science of protection has no age limit. Serious respiratory illnesses, including influenza, COVID-19, RSV and pneumococcal pneumonia, are not only childhood concerns. For adults in Singapore, particularly those managing existing health conditions or entering the decades of greatest vulnerability, they can interrupt working lives, strain families and trigger complications with lasting consequences for health and independence.
“When it comes to respiratory illness such as pneumococcal pneumonia, influenza, COVID-19 and RSV, many are genuinely surprised to learn how their age or underlying conditions may affect their risk profile. A regular visit to a trusted healthcare professional is the best opportunity to have that conversation, and this campaign helps create the conditions for it to happen,” said Dr. Lim Wee Peng, Family Physician and Medical Director at Parkway Shenton.
At the heart of the campaign is a simple but powerful truth: adults protect their health not for health’s sake alone, but for the people and the life they cannot afford to lose.
Adults, particularly those who may be at increased risk, should speak to a healthcare professional about their respiratory health and how to better protect themselves against serious respiratory illnesses such as pneumococcal pneumonia, influenza, COVID-19 and RSV.
With Leisure Plus, Redefining Hong Kong’s Bathroom Experience Through AI Smart Toilets and Bathroom Cabinets for a New Era of Intelligent Living
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2026 – As urban life in Hong Kong places growing emphasis on efficiency, health and space utilisation, a truly future-facing bathroom brand has officially arrived. Leisure Plus Building Products Company Limited, which has been rooted in Hong Kong for nearly three decades, has officially announced its appointment as the Hong Kong sole agent for global bathroom leader JOMOO. Together, the two companies are bringing world-renowned premium smart bathroom products to the Hong Kong market, using JOMOO’s leading AI-powered digital technology to deliver innovative bathroom solutions tailored to the city’s unique living environment. This partnership not only marks the arrival of a heavyweight international brand in Hong Kong’s bathroom market, but also signals a new AI-driven era for local homes and commercial spaces.
For Hong Kong people, the bathroom has never been a purely functional space. Within a limited footprint, it carries cleansing, grooming, care, storage, and the rhythm of how each day begins and ends. Space is compact, humidity is high, storage must be efficient, and expectations for the user experience keep rising. JOMOO’s arrival in Hong Kong answers the city’s pursuit of efficiency, comfort, health and aesthetics with world-leading AI bathroom technology. The brand is also introducing several smart toilets and innovative bathroom mirror cabinets for their Hong Kong debut, showing how bathroom AI can move from concept into daily life and become a real part of improving everyday living.
Leisure Plus Building Products said: “Bringing JOMOO to Hong Kong reflects Leisure Plus’s deep insight into the future of living. We see Hong Kong’s premium bathroom market moving beyond traditional hardware into a new stage that combines smart technology, health management, space integration and sensory experience. By partnering with JOMOO, Leisure Plus is bringing globally leading AI smart bathroom technology to Hong Kong, not only adding an international-calibre brand to the market, but also redefining daily life through technology, enabling the bathroom to evolve from a single-function space into a core living space that delivers comfort, efficiency and wellness value.”
JOMOO: Reshaping the Bathroom Experience with AI and Unrivalled Global Leadership
Founded in 1990, JOMOO has long ranked No.1 in China’s bathroom industry and among the world’s top three. With technology-driven bathroom living at its core, the brand combines R&D, intelligent manufacturing and innovative design, and is committed to redefining premium living through AI. As the pioneer behind the “AI BATH” scene-based brand, JOMOO breaks away from conventional product thinking with pioneering motorised flip-and-discharge cleansing technology that significantly improves performance while achieving library-level quietness. Combined with AI robotic self-cleaning and contact-free health sensing technologies, it deeply integrates artificial intelligence, biosensing and everyday bathroom use, delivering more proactive and thoughtful health support for users.
In this high-profile move into Hong Kong, JOMOO is guided by the strategy “Tech Bathroom, Global JOMOO”, bringing not only products but also a lifestyle upgrade powered by AI. Tailored to Hong Kong’s compact and humid living environment, the brand offers smart, space-saving and health-enhancing bathroom solutions, helping lift the overall standard of bathroom living in the city.
From Smart Toilets to Bathroom Cabinets: A Powerful New AI Bathroom Lineup Arrives in Hong Kong
G06 and G08 Smart Digital Toilets
In Hong Kong’s space-constrained homes, bathroom spaces often face multiple challenges, including limited room, humidity and restricted functionality. Tailored specifically for Hong Kong homes, JOMOO is introducing two flagship smart toilets and one smart bathroom cabinet that use AI-powered digital technology to resolve the tension between space and functionality in one stroke, bringing consumers a world-leading premium smart bathroom experience. The G06 Smart Digital Toilet is an entry choice that balances intelligence, comfort and practicality, while the G08 Smart Digital Toilet comes with an upgraded digital display and a more comprehensive smart feature set, taking comfort, convenience and technology to a new level.
To address the common problem of compact bathrooms in Hong Kong, both products are equipped with features such as “triple foot-sensing control”, “smart wireless control” and “auto-flush on departure”. Users do not need to twist sideways or make unnecessary movements, and can enjoy a freer, smoother toilet experience even in narrower bathroom spaces.

Revolutionary Smart Bathroom Cabinet: VERA Jinci Series
Addressing the core issue of limited bathroom space in Hong Kong’s mainstream residential developments, JOMOO will soon launch the suspended VERA Jinci Series Smart Bathroom Cabinet. Powered by AI technology, it integrates three major functions – beauty-product preservation, dedicated wash care, and smart mirror features – so that every inch of space delivers greater value and daily routines become more precise, smoother and more relaxed, completely reinventing the bathroom experience.
Product highlights: – 998x532x1900mm suspended golden-ratio structure with zero hygiene blind spots – Built-in cosmetics fridge with AI-controlled constant temperature and humidity for skincare freshness – Built-in 0.8kg mini drum washer with six cleansing modes tailored for small items – Mirror with touch-control natural-light ambience and one-touch defogging – High colour-rendering mirror for true-to-tone makeup application – Moisture-resistant eco solid-wood body suited to Hong Kong’s maritime climate

Crafted for the enjoyment of life without compromise, the renewed Dry Crystal features Ryusei Yokohama as the new campaign’s face and is now available in supermarkets and restaurants throughout the region
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2026 – Japan’s number one selling beer brand Asahi Super Dry has unveiled a major evolution of its Dry Crystal, introducing zero sugar in Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland and low sugar in Taiwan, 3.5% ABV. Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of living a full and active life, Dry Crystal offers less sugar than Asahi Super Dry beer, while delivering the same iconic Super Dry taste. Now available in Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan markets, the renewed Dry Crystal represents Asahi Super Dry’s continued commitment to providing consumers with carefully crafted and mindful drinking options without compromising on taste.
Dry Crystal is crafted for uncompromised enjoyment, available as zero sugar in Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland and as low sugar in Taiwan, showcasing Asahi Super Dry’s commitment to meeting consumers’ needs for more mindful drinking options. (The above is a promotional image from Hong Kong)
Two years after its groundbreaking debut, this lighter innovation in beer is set to redefine mindful indulgence with enhanced functional benefits. The upgraded Dry Crystal maintains the standards of the iconic Super Dry taste while matching the modern consumer’s desire for a more balanced and mindful lifestyle. This represents Asahi Super Dry’s unwavering commitment to anticipating and exceeding consumer expectations, proving that superior taste and active lifestyle are not mutually exclusive, but perfectly harmonious.
Uncompromised living meets Japanese excellence: Award-winning star Ryusei Yokohama leads the era of “New Moderation”
Dry Crystal offers a smarter choice for those who refuse to compromise – delivering the crisp, refreshing notes of their favorite beer while enabling an active, balanced lifestyle. This campaign, which showcases the new evolution of Dry Crystal, features brand ambassador Ryusei Yokohama. It also represents a lifestyle movement born from the philosophy of a brand ambassador who truly lives it. One of Japan’s top talents, Yokohama has earned critical acclaim, box-office success, and prestigious awards for his performances in movies like Shōtai (2024) and Kokuhō (2025). This partnership marks Yokohama’s first tie-up with an alcohol brand.
Dry Crystal powers Ryusei Yokohama’s life in motion
In the newest promotional video for the new Dry Crystal – the first-ever dedicated campaign video shot in Japan specifically for audiences in Taiwan and Hong Kong – values of balance, intentional choice, and living without compromise are portrayed through Ryusei Yokohama himself, naturally overlapping with Dry Crystal’s promise. The campaign showcases his dynamic daily rhythm, from intense training sessions to creative work on set.
In each scene, Dry Crystal becomes Yokohama’s natural choice. Its lighter formulation delivers the authentic Asahi Super Dry taste while supporting peak performance, resonating with the growing new moderation movement that values choice and balance.
Hong Kong and Taiwan are key markets for Dry Crystal, and this campaign film reflects this. The video is produced specifically for these audiences, rather than adapting to a global notion. Japan is a strategic choice for shooting the film, as it allows for conveying the connection to the Asahi brand, which very closely resonates with consumers in the two markets. By creating a compelling narrative for Hong Kong and Taiwan audiences, Asahi Super Dry signals a deeper market commitment, sharper cultural relevance, and greater media flexibility.
The new Dry Crystal is available in supermarkets, online and select restaurants across Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. For more information about the new Asahi Super Dry, please visit (https://www.asahisuperdry.com/). Hashtag: #AsahiSuperDry

Lao Foreign Minister Thongsavanh Phomvihane held five bilateral meetings at the 25th ASEAN-EU Ministerial Meeting in Brunei from 27 to 28 April. The talks aimed to deepen ties with European partners ahead of Laos’ graduation from Least Developed Country (LDC) status by 2029.
The highlight of the day was the meeting with Lithuania, where Thongsavanh and Kestutis Budrys signed a new bilateral cooperation agreement establishing a formal consultation mechanism between both foreign ministries. The deal covers trade, investment, tourism, clean energy, digital transformation, and UXO clearance.
Budrys congratulated Thongsavanh on his appointment, and both sides marked over 30 years of relations since September 1994.
In a special meeting with Portugal, Thongsavanh and Ana Isabel Xavier, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Portugal, celebrated three decades of diplomatic relations established in 1995 and agreed to strengthen cooperation in trade, education, clean energy, and UXO clearance.
Lao Foreign Minister also invited Portugal to the Meeting of States Parties to the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which Vientiane will host later this year.
Turning to Austria, Laos’ one of the oldest European partners with ties dating to 1967. Two countries reaffirmed their relationship and set the 60th anniversary in 2027 as a milestone for deeper cooperation across several sectors.
In talks with Cyprus, both sides reviewed their relationship since 2000 and identified new opportunities for engagement. Laos briefed Cyprus on its national development priorities and LDC transition plans.
Rounding out the day, Laos and Slovakia reaffirmed friendly ties and agreed to expand cooperation in trade, investment, education, and development assistance, strengthening Laos’ broader engagement with Central European partners, the fifth and final meeting of the day.
Across all five meetings, Laos consistently framed its LDC graduation as an opportunity to attract European development support and build new economic partnerships ahead of 2029.
