HONG KONG, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On March 31, Phoenix TV holds the Phoenix Satellite TV‘s 30th Anniversary Gala at its headquarters in Tai Po, Hong Kong. The event is attended by officiating guests including John Lee, Hong Kong Chief Executive; Xu Zhengzhong, Chairman of Bauhinia Culture Holdings Limited; Xu Wei, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Phoenix TV; Ho Chiu-king, Standing Committee member of the CPPCC National Committee and Vice President of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce; as well as Sun Yusheng, Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Editor-in-Chief.

In his address, John Lee stated that the 30th anniversary of Phoenix TV is not only a milestone to look back on its remarkable journey, but also a starting point to stride into a new era. “With Hong Kong as its home and thriving on its business here, Phoenix has been leveraging artificial intelligence to empower content innovation, consistently delivering objective, comprehensive and in-depth news coverage and informational programs to its audiences,” John Lee said. He commended Phoenix for its transformation and renewal over the past 30 years, reflecting Hong Kong’s spirit of proactive change, and noted that the company stands as an exemplary case of an enterprise harnessing Hong Kong’s unique advantage of “relying on the motherland and connecting with the world.” He hoped that Phoenix will continue to make good use of its strong international communication strengths to take more of China’s rich culture, values, industries and talent “going global” to overseas markets, while also “bringing in” global capital.

In his welcome speech, Xu Wei stated that in 2021, Phoenix TV underwent a comprehensive restructuring and achieved a rebirth. Currently, Phoenix has established a global presence with worldwide reporting and dissemination, evolving into the largest overseas Chinese-language cultural media conglomerate rooted in Hong Kong and oriented toward the global market. Its premium content reaches over 2 billion audiences worldwide.

Xu Wei pointed out that “embracing change” has always been the key to Phoenix’s development. He emphasized the importance of upholding the principle that “Watch Phoenix TV When Major Events Break” and leveraging the company’s 63 global bureaus to maintain a commitment to truth, professionalism, and public value as the foundation of Phoenix TV. Looking ahead, Phoenix aims to serve as an on-site reporter for major global events, bringing audiences a more diverse view of the world while helping the world gain a deeper understanding of China; to serve as an international storyteller for Chinese culture, enabling Chinese culture to transcend borders and reach a wider audience; and to serve as a platform builder for international exchanges, allowing more voices to be heard and more dialogue to take place.

In recent years, Phoenix TV has actively expanded its international presence, with a particular focus on developing the international events brand “Phoenix Go Global” to help Chinese enterprises connect with global resources. Witnessed by John Lee and Xu Wei, Dr. Cheung Kwok-kwan, Deputy Secretary for Justice of the HKSAR Government, and Yeung Ka-keung, Executive Vice President of Phoenix TV, exchanged the MOU of cooperation on the “Hong Kong Professional Services GoGlobal Platform”. Leveraging Phoenix TV’s advantages in global all‑media communication, the two parties will jointly facilitate the precise connection between Hong Kong’s professional services and the globalization needs of Mainland enterprises.

Phoenix TV has maintained a consistent focus on the development of Hong Kong’s capital market. As early as in the Phoenix Financial Forum for the Greater Bay Area 2023, Phoenix launched the inaugural “Phoenix Star Hong Kong Stock Best Listed Company” awards. Given Hong Kong’s reclaiming its position as the global champion of the IPO market last year and building on this remarkable achievement, Phoenix has partnered with Brand Finance, a UK‑based brand evaluation consultancy, to launch an assessment and compile the Phoenix Star 2025 Hong Kong IPO Brand Report to help consolidate and enhance Hong Kong’s status as an international financial center.

During the celebration, Scott Chen, Managing Director China, Brand Finance Group, and Sun Yusheng, Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Editor-in-Chief of Phoenix TV, jointly unveiled the report.

The celebration consisted of seven segments, structured around iconic Phoenix news and feature programs familiar to audiences, including Phoenix Morning Express, The World Connection, From Phoenix To The World, Phoenix Evening Express, and X+, as well as the two flagship initiatives “You Bring Charm To The World Global Chinese Awards” and “Phoenix Go Global“. Through live presentations by the hosts of these programs, the event showcased Phoenix’s broad international perspective, its advantages in global coverage, and its strong international communication capabilities, highlighting the synergy between traditional television broadcasting and new media platforms.

In the session titled “Technology and the Future — A Dialogue with the Era”, Phoenix TV demonstrated its firm commitment to embracing cutting-edge technology. The company signed cooperation agreements with Volcano Engine and DataOceanAI to collaborate on large language models, artificial intelligence technologies, cloud services, and the development of Chinese language datasets.

Sun Dong, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry of the HKSAR Government, attended the ceremony. He shared that the World Internet Conference Asia-Pacific Summit, for which Phoenix TV served as a key supporting organization and media partner last year, will return to Hong Kong in April this year, with the two sides continuing their collaboration. He encouraged Phoenix to continue delivering high‑quality technology and innovation content, contributing to Hong Kong’s development as an international innovation and technology hub.

During the sections structured around “You Bring Charm To The World Global Chinese Awards” and “Phoenix GoGlobal,” Phoenix TV expressed its sincere gratitude to the partners who have provided long‑standing support. The company also presented a series of major new projects including The Healing Path Season 2 and X+ Season 4 and 5, demonstrating its commitment to diversified content strategies and its determination to expand a new landscape for international communication through high‑quality content and global reach.

As a special section of the celebration, Phoenix TV veteran anchor Sally Wu took the stage to share a heartfelt account of her 30‑year journey with Phoenix, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the company’s development.

The celebration concluded with a heartwarming surprise. Renowned music producer Xiao Ke, a longtime friend of Phoenix TV, specially composed a song titled Old Friends for the company’s 30th anniversary, using music to express the deep bond forged through years of partnership. As the melody played, more than 20 Phoenix TV hosts and commentators gathered on stage to offer their blessings, bringing the celebration to a warm and dignified close.

The outdated, fragile braille tape (left) was replaced by LC Sign’s robust, high-contrast braille signage (right), significantly improving accessibility and independence for visually impaired students at Qiming School.

Prior to this project, students at Qiming School had relied primarily on temporary braille tapes—fragile, easily damaged, and often unclear—which made navigation difficult and undermined confidence and safety across the school grounds. In response, LC Sign worked closely with special education professionals and accessibility consultants, ensuring that every new sign met high standards for tactile accuracy and durability. The innovative signage features optimized braille design for easier reading by touch, high-contrast yellow borders for better visibility, and superior-grade acrylic material to withstand regular use in challenging public settings.

With The Touchpoint Initiative, LC Sign is making a long-term commitment that goes beyond a single charitable donation. The company plans to replicate and expand the TPI model, developing accessible wayfinding solutions for educational institutions, hospitals, public transit facilities, and more. By promoting universal design and higher industry standards, LC Sign aims to inspire other manufacturers and organizations to integrate accessibility and empathy into every aspect of their operations and product development.

“At LC Sign, we believe signage should be a bridge to independence,” said Anne L., CEO of LC Sign. “The Qiming School project exemplifies how combining innovation with empathy builds environments where everyone can thrive.”

It is designed for a wide range of applications, including single-family homes, vacation properties, small farms, and off-grid setups, ideal for users seeking greater energy resilience.

Modular Battery Design for Flexible Expansion

The EnergyPro 13K features a modular battery design, supporting 2 to 4 EnergyPack 500 battery packs for a total capacity ranging from 9.6kWh to 19.2kWh. Homeowners can size the system based on current needs and expand over time as demand grows—reducing upfront investment while maintaining long-term flexibility. Notably, the system supports mixing new and existing battery packs, enabling seamless capacity expansion at any stage and making it suitable for both first-time adopters and households with evolving energy demands.

Built with ultra-safe LiFePO₄ cells and an advanced Battery Management System (BMS), the EnergyPro 13K is designed for over 10 years of daily use, delivering long-term reliability and consistent energy savings. A built-in self-heating feature further ensures stable performance in freezing conditions, a critical advantage for northern regions.

Advanced Solar System for Energy Independence

Building on the proven success of the EP900 Energy Storage System, the next-generation EnergyPro 13K introduces a significant breakthrough in solar input. To maximize energy self-sufficiency, the system supports an industry-leading 22kW solar input through four independent MPPT channels.

At the system’s core, the AT1 smart distribution panel intelligently manages energy flow between solar, grid, battery storage, and external power sources. This enables a flexible and self-sufficient home energy setup that optimizes consumption and ensures seamless power continuity, particularly during outages.

For extended blackout scenarios or low-solar conditions, the EnergyPro 13K seamlessly integrates with electric vehicles or gas generators. These supplementary power sources can both recharge the system and sustain essential household loads, adding an extra layer of energy security. Combined with intelligent load management, users can prioritize essential circuits, allowing the system to automatically shed high-power loads—such as EV chargers and central air conditioning—based on pre-configured settings. This proactive management ensures that critical appliances remain powered for as long as possible when every watt counts.

Smart Energy Management for Enhanced System Control

The EnergyPro 13K further enhances user experience through advanced smart features. Via the BLUETTI app, users can remotely monitor real-time data on power generation, storage, and consumption, and configure operating modes based on their needs—such as charging during off-peak hours and discharging during peak pricing periods to optimize energy costs.

It also introduces a proactive extreme weather alert function, which leverages weather data to automatically prepare the battery ahead of potential outages. And compatibility with leading smart home platforms—including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Home Assistant—enables convenient voice control and seamless integration into existing smart home ecosystems.

Price and Availability

The EnergyPro 13K Energy Storage System is now available at the BLUETTI Official Store, with a special promotional price starting at $7,919 (a 10% discount) through April 24. Customers can also apply the exclusive code BLUETTI8OFF to receive an additional 8% discount.

 International business and policy leaders will gather for four days of dialogue, dealmaking and cross-border collaboration

NEW YORK, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — World Trade Centers Association® (WTCA®) — an international trade organization connecting more than 300 World Trade Center® (WTC®) locations across nearly 100 countries and territories — and WTC Greater Philadelphia will host the 56th annual WTCA Global Business Forum (GBF) from April 19-22, 2026, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, marking the Forum’s return to the United States for the first time in nearly a decade. The annual WTCA GBF convenes WTCA members and their global networks, bringing together leaders from business, government, academia and international organizations. This year, nearly 300 registrants representing 93 WTC businesses across 46 countries and territories have confirmed their participation.

With the theme “Historic Foundations, Future Collaborations: Cultivating New Business Frontiers,” this year’s Forum will feature diverse programming, including a keynote address from Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, positioning Philadelphia as a gateway for international business; and a discussion featuring NBA Hall of Famer and entrepreneur Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Pennsylvania State Representative Jordan Harris, and WTC Greater Philadelphia President & CEO Thomas Young on how cities build lasting economic power.

Additional sessions include “Global Outlook: Navigating Trade and Investment Trends in 2026,” a panel discussion including Ken Levinson, CEO of the Washington International Trade Association (WITA); and “From Research to Global Markets: How ‘Eds & Meds’ Ecosystems Drive International Growth,” which will explore how universities, healthcare systems and life-science institutions are powering global economic growth. The GBF will also launch the UNIDO-WTCA Blue Economy Global Call 2026, which aims to identify and promote readily deployable and scalable solutions from the private sector contributing to an inclusive, resilient and sustainable development of the Blue Economy. 

The WTCA Real Estate Summit will return to the event agenda for a second year with specialized sessions focused on real estate development topics, including “Global Macro Trends: The State of Global Capital & Space,” a conversation with Juan Gallardo, Executive Vice President, Client Solutions Latin America of Colliers International, on the global forces reshaping real estate investment and development; and “Attracting Global Capital” with David J. Adelman, founder of Darco Capital, an investor workshop to share what makes a real estate project investment-ready in today’s market. Additionally, the program will feature a panel discussion “Scaling the World Trade Center Model through Free Trade Zones,” with Martín Gustavo Ibarra, President of Araújo Ibarra & Asociados S.A and founding member of the World Free Zones Organization (WFZO). This Summit will focus on educating real estate sector attendees and providing practical, actionable insights on navigating global capital flows and real investment opportunities.

“We’re pleased the Global Business Forum is returning to the U.S. this year, especially as the country approaches its 250th anniversary, and in Philadelphia, the Birthplace of America,” said John E. Drew, Chair of the WTCA Board of Directors. “This year’s GBF comes at a pivotal moment. In an increasingly complex global economy, the WTCA network remains a trusted platform where business leaders come together to forge partnerships, learn how to best navigate uncertainty and unlock new opportunities across the globe.”

As the four-day Forum aims to catalyze long-term partnerships, participants will have access to B2B matchmaking through the WTCA B2Match platform, connecting them directly with potential business partners, investors and distributors from around the world. The platform allows attendees to schedule meetings, sessions and local business tours while maximizing networking opportunities for building meaningful, results-driven business relationships.

Philadelphia, built on innovation and global exchange, is the ideal host for this year’s Forum. The sixth-largest U.S. city offers a dynamic business environment with economic strengths in healthcare, higher education, life sciences, manufacturing, technology and finance, as well as a strategic location between New York City and Washington, D.C.

“We’re thrilled to welcome WTCA members from around the world to Philadelphia for the 2026 WTCA GBF,” said Thomas Young, President & CEO of WTC Greater Philadelphia. “Philadelphia is home to world-class universities, leading companies in life sciences, tech and advanced manufacturing all anchored within a vibrant business community and culture — an excellent showcase of some of the best assets in the U.S. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with local industry leaders, explore investment opportunities and experience firsthand why Philadelphia is a hub for trade and international collaboration.”

Last year’s 2025 WTCA GBF in Marseille, France, brought together over 400 attendees from more than 50 countries and territories, including nearly 120 WTC businesses. The Forum featured more than 20 workshops, keynotes, panels, local company tours and over 500 B2B meetings.

Top sponsors of the 2026 WTCA GBF include Fulton Bank; MFR Consultants, Inc.; and White and Williams LLP.
