Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - July 22, 2025) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "MILI") reports the analyses of five samples of antimony (stibnite) and gold-rich mineralized material taken from a historical mine stockpile at the Company's 100% owned past producing West Gore antimony-gold project ("West Gore" or "the Project") located in the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada. These samples were collected as part of efforts to characterize the historical deposit to optimize initial exploration methods. These high-grade results support the documented grades of material historically mined between 1914-1917 when West Gore was one of Canada's most significant antimony producers during World War One, to support the allied war effort. These results complement the announcement on July 8, 2025 that the Company had identified new drill targets extending well beyond the area of previous mining, plans to commence a drill program are currently being finalized.Historical Stockpile Sample Highlights:Highest grade sample returned 40.6 percent (%) Antimony and 106.5 Grams Per Tonne (gpt) in sample 247228 (Antimony samples ranged from 2.12% to 40.6%, gold samples ranged from 11.75 gpt to 106.5 gptAdditional high-grade antimony results included 23.5% and 18.1% in samples 247230 and 247232, respectivelyAdditional high-grade gold results included 27.4 gpt and 25.8 gpt in samples 247232 and 247230, respectivelyAverage antimony results over all five samples of 17.94%Average gold results over all five samples of 34.68 gpt3 high priority drill targets that were never previously identified will be drill tested in an upcoming work programScott Eldridge, CEO of Military Metals, stated: "The recent samples collected of up to 40.6% antimony seen in massive stibnite, the mineral that hosts antimony, from our project area have returned some spectacular results, reinforcing our exploration plan to commence drilling. With additional exploration, we can further unlock the potential of our asset and, play a strategic role in the critical minerals supply chain at a time when secure, domestic sources of antimony are in growing demand. Today's results also demonstrate the gold values that could be an important by-product or co-product as we prepare to drill. We are extremely encouraged by the high antimony and gold grades of these five specimens from the past producing mine at our Nova Scotia project. We look forward to advancing this discovery through further exploration and unlocking its full value for our shareholders. Nova Scotia's government, led by Environment Minister Tim Halman, has announced updates to the approval process for metal-mining projects aimed at accelerating timelines. In summary, the new rules are designed to streamline mining approvals and benefit industry progress."Summary of Results:Historical documentation reports that 32,000 metric tons were mined at West Gore in turn producing 7,000 metric tons of concentrate grading 46% antimony yielding 3,220 metric tons of antimony metal, and 6,861 ounces of gold (source: NI 43-101 Technical Report for the West Gore Sb-Au Project, May 25, 2021, prepared by M.S. King, PGeo & M.C. Corey PGeo, May 25, 2021, for Battery Elements Corp). This indicates recovered grades of 10.06% antimony and 0.21 ounces per ton (6.5 gpt) gold, historically. Historical mining was both small-scale and selective, almost certainly enhanced by hand sorting at surface prior to processing. Commercial production ceased in 1917.Table 1 below displays the analytical results for antimony and gold from the five samples. Antimony varies from a low of 2.12 to a high of 40.6%, for an average of 17.94%; gold varies from a low of 11.75 to a high of 106.5 gpt, for an average of 34.68 gpt (uncapped). These grades support the accuracy of historical documentation of mined grades. Of mineralogical interest is the fact that two of the samples, 247230 and 247231, ran 2.01 and 2.81% lead, respectively.Table 1: Sample ResultsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/259593_6c12fb9e645578af_001full.jpgNote: Grab samples are selective by nature and samples visually estimated to be high-grade were intentionally selected for characterization in this exercise. The results presented in this news release should not be considered overall representative of the historically exploited West Gore deposit or the stockpile from which they were chosen. The historical nature of this stockpile is unknown.Image 1: Sample 247228 Demonstrating Massive StibniteTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/259593_6c12fb9e645578af_002full.jpgQuality Assurance and Quality Control:The samples were analyzed at the laboratories of ALS Canada in Vancouver. Samples were crushed, split, ground, split, and a 35 gram portion subjected to a four-acid digestion followed by Induction Coupled Plasma ("ICP") - Mass Spectrometry ("MS") analysis. Over-limit samples for gold and antimony (all five of them) were analyzed by fire assay and ICP- Atomic Emission Spectrometry ("AES") analysis, respectively. Internal Quality Assurance - Quality Control protocols were followed by the lab including blanks, standards, and duplicates to ensure analytical accuracy.Mining History and Geology of the Region:Gold in Nova Scotia was first discovered in 1860, which led to gold rushes throughout many parts of the province over the years following. Gold production in the Rawdon hills began in 1884 and continued until 1932 from several mines. Gold deposits of Nova Scotia's Meguma Terrane typically occur as relatively shallow-dipping, bedding-parallel "saddle reef" type vein systems controlled by regional fold structures. Gold deposits of the Rawdon area, which is found at the east edge of West Gore, are uniquely characterized by the occurrence of steeply east-dipping gold-bearing veins striking north-northwest across bedding. The Government of Nova Scotia's Mineral Occurrence Database reports that historical production from the Rawdon Hills area mines totaled 13,494 ounces. Antimony is a common accessory element in many gold mines around the world, occasionally occurring in higher concentrations.The technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by David Murray PGeo, President and Principal Consultant of Resourceful Geoscience Solutions Inc. of Halifax, Nova Scotia, a consultant to the Company, and qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

HONG KONG, July 22, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On July 22, CaoCao announced a strategic partnership with Geespace, a leading commercial aerospace company in China, to further enhance autonomous driving safety standards by leveraging the satellite services of the "Geely Constellation." The collaboration aims to ensure that robotaxis remain "always online, never disconnected."(Attendees: Yang Jian, Vice Chairman of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (third from left); Gong Xin, Executive Director and CEO of CaoCao (second from left); Wang Yang, CEO of Geespace (second from right); Qiang Qi, CTO of CaoCao (first from left); Qu Suchao, Deputy General Manager of Geespace and General Manager of Lane Position (first from right))Both parties plan to explore the application of global satellite communication and high-precision positioning technologies for managing and operating robotaxi fleets. The integration of satellite application products and services into CaoCao's robotaxis will establish CaoCao as the world’s first mobility platform to fully incorporate low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication and centimeter-level, high-precision positioning technologies into robotaxi operations. This initiative paves the way for the future large-scale deployment of robotaxis and ensures their safety.Satellite Direct-to-Device Enhances Vehicle Safety RedundancyWhen it comes to safety, CaoCao's human-driven ride-hailing service is already ahead of the industry. CaoCao's accident rate per order in both 2023 and 2024 was significantly lower than the industry average, according to Frost & Sullivan data. This was due to the company's hardware redundancy and professional drivers.Currently, CaoCao is conducting a pilot program for robotaxis and steadily expanding its fleet. To provide the safest possible travel experience for robotaxis, CaoCao is leveraging aerospace technology to improve safety beyond vehicle hardware redundancy. These lay a solid foundation for the upcoming rapid development phase of autonomous driving.It is learned that robotaxis on the CaoCao platform will gain two key capabilities:Safety Redundancy of Satellite Communication: Robotaxis are equipped with integrated satellite communication capabilities to ensure real-time data transmission and emergency status reporting even in remote operational areas. As a result, uninterrupted and dependable connectivity between robotaxis and the control center establishes a substantial foundation for remote monitoring, dispatching, and emergency intervention.Centimeter-Level Positioning Accuracy: Robotaxis are paired with high-precision sensors. These sensors minimize positioning errors to an extremely low level. They can even achieve precise lane-level positioning and tracking in complex environments like urban canyons and overpasses. Additionally, their strong ability to withstand interference ensures that positioning signals remain stable and reliable during severe weather, including heavy rain.Gong Xin, CEO of CaoCao, stated: “Safety is the core prerequisite and ultimate test for robotaxi commercialization. By selecting and deploying satellite application products and services, we are integrating 'heaven' (satellite technology) and 'earth' (robotaxi intelligence) to build an innovative, multilayered safety redundancy system. This system represents not only a synergy of cutting-edge technologies, but also CaoCao's firm commitment to safeguarding user safety and leading the future of secure mobility."Further Upgraded Robotaxi Ecosystem of CaoCaoBacked by the Geely Group, CaoCao is a key pillar of the group’s future mobility strategy, establishing China’s first closed-loop, fully self-developed ecosystem encompassing "customized vehicles + autonomous driving technology + mobility platform." CaoCao now stands as the only Chinese mobility company whose full-chain capabilities are comparable to Tesla’s "manufacturing + autonomous driving + operations" model.CaoCao’s robotaxi platform seamlessly integrates its operational expertise with the Geely Group’s strengths in automotive manufacturing and autonomous driving technology. With its proven capabilities in service standardization, cost optimization, and asset management—all validated through customized vehicles—CaoCao is well-positioned to drive the large-scale deployment of robotaxi services.The strategic partnership with Geespace exemplifies the efficient synergy within the Geely Group’s smart mobility technology ecosystem. As the Geely Group’s provider of aerospace information and communication infrastructure and solutions, Geespace focuses on constructing and operating a LEO satellite constellation, manufacturing satellites, and developing satellite applications. Geespace also independently builds and operates the "Geely Constellation," which currently consists of 30 in-orbit satellites and over 5,000 high-precision ground-based positioning stations across China. These efforts rank Geespace among the industry leaders in terms of hardware scale and operational support capabilities.As members of the Geely ecosystem, CaoCao and Geespace collaborate to eliminate data coordination barriers caused by differing technical standards in traditional supply chains. This not only highlights the synergistic advantages of CaoCao’s robotaxi ecosystem but also propels China’s autonomous driving industry into a new phase of secure and controllable ecological integration, moving beyond mere technological convergence.

The Calculator helps Malaysian companies identify key GHG emission sources in line with the ‘Emissions’ disclosure requirements of the Simplified ESG Disclosure Guide (SEDG) for SMEs in Supply Chains.KUALA LUMPUR, July 22, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Capital Markets Malaysia (“CMM”), an affiliate of the Securities Commission Malaysia (“SC”), today launched the SEDG Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) Emissions Calculator for Small and Medium Enterprise (“SMEs”). The user-friendly tool is designed to help Malaysian companies measure and report their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions based on the globally recognised Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.Dato’ Mohammad Faiz Azmi, Executive Chairman of the SC and Chairman of CMM said, “For many SMEs in Malaysia, particularly those operating in global supply chains, the ability to accurately measure and report their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions is critical in responding to disclosure demands of their customers.Photo 1: Dato' Mohammad Faiz Azmi, Executive Chairman of the SC and Chairman of CMM“The SEDG GHG Emissions Calculator simplifies a complex process, making emissions reporting accessible even to first-time users. Beyond reporting, it also enables companies to pinpoint key emission sources across operations, allowing them to make informed decisions and move towards meaningful climate action,” he said.“The calculator further complements efforts by the SC to promote consistent and credible sustainability disclosures and supports the adoption of the National Sustainability Reporting Framework by Malaysian companies,” he added.To ensure consistency and credibility, the SEDG GHG Emissions Calculator utilises a methodology which follows widely accepted international standards such as the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). These standards are also used by the Malaysian government in the Biennial National Communications to the UNFCCC.The Calculator comes with pre-filled emission factors from the IPCC'S 6th Annual Report (AR6) for fuel combustion commonly used in Malaysia such as diesel, petrol, LPG, natural gas, and others. Emission factors for grid electricity consumption come from local sources such as publications from Malaysia’s Energy Commission.Navina Balasingam, General Manager of CMM said, “The SEDG has received widespread acceptance since its launch in October 2023. We’ve seen a strong response from Malaysian and multinational companies with large supply chains, utilising the SEDG to support ESG reporting by their SME suppliers.Photo 2: Navina Balasingam, General Manager of CMM“CMM will continue its nationwide workshops to help SMEs in supply chains disclose ESG data credibly and effectively. The Calculator is a key part of this effort, further simplifying the ‘Emissions’ disclosure requirements of the SEDG,” she said.“In developing the tool, we carried out a series of user acceptance tests (UATs) to understand the needs and expectations of SMEs across diverse sectors within the supply chain. To ensure broad accessibility, the Calculator is available at no cost to users, in three languages – English, Bahasa Melayu and Simplified Mandarin,” she added.As global sustainability standards, customer expectations, and ESG compliance requirements continue to evolve, it is essential that the SEDG remains relevant and practical for Malaysian businesses.

SINGAPORE, July 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On July 15 2025, to mark the successful secondary listing of China Medical System Holdings Limited ("CMS" or the "Group") on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange ("SGX"), SGX and CMS co-hosted the "Singapore and Emerging Markets Pharmaceutical Industry Growth Forum & CMS SGX Secondary Listing Appreciation Dinner". Held in a grand fashion, the event was held at the Group's CDMO manufacturing facility, PharmaGend, which is located in Tuas, Singapore.The event brought together about 150 representatives from local government agencies, multinational pharmaceutical companies, innovative biotech companies, leading investment institutions, and the KOLs in the pharmaceutical industry. Through a series of insightful keynote speeches and panel discussions, guests engaged in in-depth exchanges and shared ideas on various topics, such as the pharmaceutical industry's development in Singapore and emerging markets across the Asia-Pacific region, the breakthroughs and overseas expansion of Chinese innovative drugs, the globalization strategies, commercialization pathways, as well as ecosystem collaboration of innovative pharmaceutical companies.The forum began with opening remarks by Ms. Caihan Chia, Head of Greater China Capital Markets and Chief Representative of Beijing Representative Office at SGX, and Ms. Louise Ho, Assistant Vice President of Healthcare Division and China Desk at the Singapore Economic Development Board. These were followed by keynote addresses from Mr. Siang Sheng Foo, Head of Investment Banking at Singapore CGS International Securities, Mr. Shriharsha Sarkar, Partner for Asia Healthcare at L.E.K. Consulting, and Ms. Kah Yean Neo, Senior Director at Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR).Ms. Caihan Chia stated that in recent years, SGX has become increasingly attractive to Chinese enterprises through policy refinements, including tax incentives, capital support from the secondary market, and streamlined regulatory procedures. The successful listing of CMS showcases the growing interest among Chinese companies in the Singapore market. As one of leading healthcare companies, CMS's listing highlights the growing demand for medical innovation and medical service accessibility across Asia. With CMS seeking to expand its business in Southeast Asia, its listing on SGX will serve as a strategic springboard to connect with international investors and further reinforce Singapore's role as a vital capital hub.Emerging Markets: A New Growth Engine for the Global Pharmaceutical IndustryEmerging markets, such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East, are becoming new growth drivers for the global pharmaceutical industry. A combination of factors, including large populations, early signs of ageing, the rise of the middle class, growing health awareness, and the increasing burden of chronic diseases, is driving higher demand for medicines and improved accessibility. According to IQVIA, by 2028, the combined pharmaceutical market size of four major emerging regions - Asia-Pacific, India, Africa & the Middle East, and Latin America - is expected to reach USD 336 - 384 billion, comparable to the USD 410 billion market size projected for Western Europe.Singapore possesses geographical and institutional advantages for accessing Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other emerging markets. With its robust financial system, open and inclusive policy environment, and thriving pharmaceutical industry, Singapore is increasingly becoming a global hub for capital and innovation. It has also become the preferred location for regional headquarters for many Chinese enterprises expanding into Southeast Asia.Seizing Opportunity: Strategic Pathways for Chinese Innovative Pharma to Expand into Emerging MarketsIn Southeast Asia's six major economies (SEA6), limited healthcare coverage means that out-of-pocket payments constitute the primary source of drug expenditure. While generics dominate, branded originator drugs continue to hold significant market share in private hospitals, retail pharmacies, and clinics. Patient demand for biologics and biosimilars continues to grow.In terms of commercialization models, traditional distribution model, which relies on third-party logistics (3PL), is gradually giving way to models with stronger commercial capabilities and strategic licensing partnerships. To achieve sustainable success in Southeast Asia, pharmaceutical companies must build competitive product portfolios, leverage experienced local sales teams, and consider establishing localized manufacturing capabilities, widely seen as key strategic advantages.The CMS's Approach: Building Dual Hubs in China and Singapore to Drive End-to-End InnovationWith over 30 years of experience in the Chinese market, CMS has accumulated a differentiated product portfolio and mature commercialization capabilities. Today, the Group is expanding its strategic vision across the Asia-Pacific region, using China as a foundation and Singapore as its regional hub. Through an end-to-end value chain of "R&D–manufacturing–commercialization–investment", CMS is driving innovation to deliver high-quality pharmaceutical products and services to patients worldwide.Mr. Lam Kong, Chairman, Chief Executive and President of CMS, delivered a keynote speech titled "New CMS, New Ascent: Three Strategies to Drive the Second Growth Curve." He shared that since launching its "New CMS" transformation strategy in 2018, the Group has propelled growth through three engines — product innovation, commercial transformation, and international expansion. This has enabled the Group's transition from "China's largest CSO" to "a pharmaceutical company in transformation," and finally, to "an end-to-end innovative pharmaceutical enterprise", with a sustainable second growth curve.In product innovation, driven by a three-dimensional approach of "Licensing, Strategic partnerships, and in-house R&D”, the Group has built a pipeline of nearly 40 FIC/BIC innovative drugs, five of which have been approved in China and are in large-scale clinical use. In the area of commercialization, CMS remains focused on cardio-cerebrovascular, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, and skin health specialties, while enhancing anti-cyclical resilience through a diversified ecosystem of "New retail, E-commerce, and Consumer healthcare". Its skin health subsidiary, Dermavon, has become a niche market leader in China and is now progressing toward a spin-off for an independent listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In the area of globalization, CMS is creating a dual-track model centred in China and Singapore, using a strategy of "bringing in" to accelerate overseas product launches in China, and a strategy of "moving outward" to establish an end-to-end presence in emerging markets. The successful listing on SGX will enhance its regional synergy and close the loop in the "R&D – Manufacturing – Commercialization – Investment" global value chain, unlocking growth from emerging markets and creating a multi-regional growth framework.CMS formally launched its industrial globalization strategy in 2022. At this event, CMS's international business clusters made their debut, showcasing its forward-looking, full industry chain layout and leadership in setting a new paradigm for Chinese pharmaceutical companies expanding overseas.PharmaGendEstablished in 2023, PharmaGend aims to become Southeast Asia's largest and most reliable CMO/CDMO. It has a site spanning 30,000 square meters and is capable of manufacturing dosage forms such as tablets and capsules, which has been certified by the FDA and HSA, demonstrating its high-standard pharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities for global export. It has future plans to expand production lines for injections, ointments, and nasal sprays. RxilientEstablished in 2021, Rxilient operates by a professional and experienced localized team, and has fully established BD, registration, marketing, andcommercialization capabilities. Leveraging its unique local expertise and advantages, Rxilient can bring innovative drugs to emerging markets led by Southeast Asia and the Middle East. It has submitted marketing applications for nearly 20 drugs and medical devices across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and regions such as Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, covering the therapeutic areas of dermatology, ophthalmology, oncology, autoimmune, and central nervous system. As more drugs receive regulatory approval in these countries, Rxilient anticipates sustained and significant revenue growth.CMS R&DEstablished in Singapore in 2024, CMS R&D has been working on more than 10 early-stage innovative drug projects. Leveraging China's mature early-stage R&D and clinical resources, it aims to synchronize China speed with global standards to advance more Chinese innovative drugs toward globalization.HiGendEstablished in 2025, HiGend is a global early-stage bio-pharma incubation platform which uses a "hub-and-spoke" model, integrating China's innovation capabilities to accelerate global R&D and commercialization.Subsequently, three panel discussions were held in succession, which facilitated an in-depth exchange between industry and capital, driving the forum to its climax. Distinguished guests from various parties freely shared insights on the continuous development and diversification of the pharmaceutical ecosystem, and jointly explored the future of pharmaceutical expansion into emerging markets.Panel Discussion 1 – Challenges and Breakthroughs: The Enduring Power of Organizational and Strategic Long-Term VisionThe emerging markets of today share numerous similarities with China's pharmaceutical landscape twenty years ago, which are currently experiencing a critical period of accelerated demand release for pharmaceuticals, constituting medium- to long-term structural opportunities. Undoubtedly, these markets are diverse and complex — each country has its own unique characteristics in terms of drug regulation, healthcare insurance mechanisms, and market acceptance. However, CMS's core strength lies in its systematic commercialization capabilities, which it is now extending to emerging markets. CMS's senior management team, alongside its business partners, jointly reviewed and discussed the key factors contributing to its commercial excellence, as well as the pathways driving the Group's second growth curve.The first panel discussion was moderated by Mr. Brian Yang, Vice President for Business Development at Rxilient. Participants included Mr. Karl Luschmann, Managing Director of Pharma Stulln GmbH, and Ms. Linlang Wang (formerly the first product manager of the Augentropfen Stulln Mono Eye Drops ("Stulln") in China), General Manager of CMS's ophthalmology business, CMS Vision, among others. Collectively, they reviewed the core strategies behind the rapid, year-on-year growth of Stulln in the Chinese market- a focus on clinical value and continuous innovation in commercialization models. CMS adhered to prioritizing clinical efficacy, amassing substantial evidence to demonstrate the clinical value of Stulln in treating asthenopia, and leveraging medical advancements to drive product commercialization. Meanwhile, CMS also continuously revamped its commercialization model by establishing a full-channel retail system that integrates in-hospital and out-of-hospital sales, developing an "online + offline" omnichannel marketing system, and adopting a diversified product portfolio strategy in consumer attributes. These concerted efforts facilitated the sustained, rapid growth and wide recognition of Stulln within the Chinese market.Mr. Victor Yin, Country Manager of Incyte Bioscience China, Mr. Huang Anjun, CEO of Dermavon (CMS's skin health business), and Mr. Lawrence He, CEO of Rxilient, jointly retraced the entire journey of launching ruxolitinib cream — a blockbuster prescription drug with consumer attributes. From the signing of the collaboration agreement and pilot launch in Hainan Boao Lecheng pilot zone, to marketing approvals in Macao, followed by Hong Kong, introduction into designated hospitals in the Greater Bay Area in China, and the NDA has been submitted in China, Singapore, and other countries or regions. Leveraging mature clinical development experience and capabilities, proven commercialization competence, a compliant operational system, and efficient execution, the group earned high recognition and trust from Mr. Victor Yin.Together, the parties have helped bring new hope to vitiligo patients in both China and Southeast Asia simultaneously.These successful commercialization experiences not only provide valuable business model references for international pharmaceutical companies entering the Chinese market, but also offer significant insights for Chinese pharmaceutical companies looking to expand into emerging markets overseas.Panel Discussion 2 – Breaking Through: Diverse Explorations for Chinese Innovative Pharmaceutical Companies to Expand into Emerging MarketsOver the past three years, Chinese pharmaceutical companies have secured over USD 10 billion in upfront payments through license-out deals. However, the majority of these transactions remain concentrated in mature markets led by Europe and the United States. Looking ahead, the next engine of growth may shift toward emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America — regions with a combined population of approximately 1.8 billion and per capita healthcare spending is merely one-fifth that of Western markets. While pharmaceutical demand is accelerating in these areas, challenges persist, including limited payment capacity and significant differences in regulatory systems. Whether Chinese pharmaceutical companies can effectively replicate and localize their domestic development and innovation models in these blue ocean markets, will determine the scale and sustainability of their second growth curve.The second panel discussion, moderated by Mr. Brian Yang, featured esteemed representatives from leading Chinese innovative pharmaceutical companies that are closely collaborating with CMS, including Tibet Nordicon Pharma, NeuroDawn Pharmaceutical (Ningdan Pharmaceutical), Mabgeek Biotech, and Jingze BioPharmaceutical. Using examples such as XinHuoSu (for acute decompensated heart failure), Y-3 for Injection (under development for stroke treatment), ABP-671 (under development for gout) etc., participants held in-depth discussions on topics, including "What constitutes truly clinically valuable innovation" and "How to implement commercialization pathways within emerging markets"True innovation value stems from professionalism and dedicated focus. It requires researchers to remain committed to a specific field over the long term, and to validate new targets and drug structures through reverse translational research, thereby identifying their potential clinical value. Since China officially joined the International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) in 2017 and became a member of its steering committee, the quality of Chinese innovative pharmaceutical products has improved rapidly and has gradually gained global recognition. In addition to entering mature markets led by Europe and the U.S., Chinese innovators are increasingly turning their attention to emerging blue ocean markets such as Southeast Asia, actively exploring parallel regulatory filings in both emerging and mature markets. For innovative pharmaceutical companies, globalization strategies should be integrated into the early stages of pipeline development cycles and macro-level strategy. It is also crucial to seek out a business partner that possesses the entire value-chain capabilities — including experienced local clinical registration teams, manufacturing capacity, and commercialization operations—in order to drive efficient product launches and expand access to high-quality medical solutions across a broader range of geographies.Panel Discussion 3 – Setting Sail: Pharmaceutical Expansion into Emerging MarketsThe third panel discussion was moderated by Mr. Frank Hong, Managing Director of Legend Capital, engaging multiple leading pharmaceutical analysts from renowned investment banks and representatives from investment institutions in an insightful sharing and in-depth discussion on the international expansion of innovative drug products and pharmaceutical industry globalization. Participants pointed out that China's pharmaceutical industry is currently at a strategic inflection point for global expansion. The Intellectual Property (IP) licensing model has preliminarily demonstrated the global competitiveness of Chinese innovation. However, for most domestic pharmaceutical companies, this process remains in the "isolatedbreakthrough" phase. To achieve the transition from a practice of "one-time licensing" to "sustained global engagement," Chinese pharmaceutical companies must look to multinational pharmaceutical giants as a benchmark — internationalizing their commercialization, manufacturing, and R&D capabilities to build a replicable, scalable, and sustainable global industrial ecosystem.Achieving this goal is no easy task. While many Chinese pharmaceutical companies have begun exploring emerging markets, they often face challenges such as fragmented distribution channels and difficulty in standardizing operational systems. Only by maintaining conviction and building a fully integrated, internationalized ecosystem across the entire value chain can companies transform one-off licensing revenues into long-term brand equity and control of the value chain, ultimately earning a sustained voice and competitive edge in the global arena.Though the forum's spotlight has dimmed, the consensus reached continues to shine like a beacon: Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other emerging markets are quickly becoming the next major destinations for the global pharmaceutical industry. CMS's fully localized framework covering "Research, Manufacturing, Commercialization, and Investment" has paved the way for industrial expansion overseas, constructing a bridge to globalization. With an open and win-win attitude, the Group welcomes innovators, regulators, and capital from around the world to work together in bringing more Chinese and global innovative drugs to emerging markets, fostering international growth. CMS sincerely invites partners across all sectors to seize the growth opportunities of the Asia-Pacific region and jointly promote innovation in the pharmaceutical industry across emerging markets, so that more innovative therapies may benefit patients around the world.Media Contact:Company: China Medical System Holdings Ltd.Contact: CMS Investor RelationsEmail: ir@cms.net.cnWebsite: https://web.cms.net.cn/en/home/Source: China Medical System Holdings Ltd.

As companies prepare for the regulation's requirements, failure to comply could result in fines of up to 4% of annual turnover, making early action essential.Source Intelligence Logo Source Intelligence's logo and "Trust your source" taglineSource Intelligence's solution enables companies to implement an end-to-end EUDR due diligence workflow, from tracing product origins and validating supplier data to identifying deforestation risk and submitting due diligence statements. A direct integration with the EU TRACES platform allows Source Intelligence to submit statements on behalf of clients as an authorized representative, helping companies streamline final reporting requirements.With Source Intelligence's EUDR solution, companies can:Enhance supply chain visibility by mapping sub-tier relationships and tracking sourcing activity in real timeIdentify deforestation risks faster using Article 9-aligned scoring and multi-source environmental datasetsImprove efficiency through automation and a direct connection to EU TRACESReduce compliance risk by proactively flagging high-risk suppliers and sourcing areas using satellite imagery and customizable risk modelsThe platform's satellite-powered deforestation detection tools assess land use change with precision and provide actionable insights for risk mitigation. These capabilities are bolstered by real-time data validation, customizable risk assessments, and centralized documentation-all designed to help companies operationalize the three-step due diligence process outlined by the European Commission."The EUDR requires companies to reach deeper into their supply chains, gather more specific data, and act on risk with greater speed," said Mike Flynn, Chief Product Officer at Source Intelligence. "Our solution is designed to make that process manageable-combining automation, advanced risk screening, and satellite monitoring to help businesses take control of their due diligence obligations before enforcement begins."While the EUDR is already in force, operators and traders must fully implement the required due diligence process by December 30, 2025. Micro and small enterprises have until June 30, 2026. With deadlines fast approaching, Source Intelligence offers a streamlined path to readiness.
