More than 200 SMEs took part.- Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC, emphasised that Hong Kong is actively developing its digital trade ecosystem, with a focus on innovation, efficiency and international collaboration, to consolidate its competitive advantages. As digital trade becomes more common, the HKTDC will ensure Hong Kong businesses continue to thrive and enhance the city’s role as a leading supply chain hub.- Pamela Mar, Managing Director of ICC DSI, noted that by aligning its finance, trade and logistics sectors with global digital trade standards, Hong Kong can remain competitive and resilient on the world stage and is well-positioned to spearhead Asia’s digital-trade development.- Andy Lam, Deputy Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the HKSAR Government, said that the Government is making reference to the Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records and is considering legislative amendments to remove the legal hurdles in the digitalisation of trade documents. The target is to submit the relevant legislative proposal to the Legislative Council next year to help industry develop technical solutions based on their actual needs.HONG KONG, July 28, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Digitalisation is reshaping the global economy, and companies must embrace digital transformation to capitalise on new opportunities. The 2025-26 Budget announced that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government would make reference to the Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR) advocated by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) and consider legislative amendments to facilitate digitalisation of trade documents. The legislative proposal will be submitted to the Legislative Council next year. The MLETR is a global standard advocated by the UNCITRAL to provide a legal framework for electronic trade documents. Aligning local legislation with standards of the MLETR is a major endeavour in promoting trade digitalisation. In line with these efforts, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and the International Chamber of Commerce Digital Standards Initiative (ICC DSI) co-hosted the “Digital Trade Masterclass” at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre to examine the MLETR’s potential impact on Hong Kong’s cross-border trade. Industry experts shared practical insights on digital transformation, helping equip businesses with the information they need to enhance their high value-added service capabilities. More than 200 SMEs participated in the event.As an international financial and trading centre and a leading re-export hub, Hong Kong is able to capitalise on its unique advantages to reinforce connectivity, serving as a bridge linking the mainland and global markets. It provides high-standard professional services, robust financial infrastructure and an innovative environment for international trade. The HKTDC works closely with the HKSAR Government to highlight the city’s strength in delivering high value-added services across the trade supply chain.Speaking at the event, Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC, said that with the changing trade landscape, there was no better time to reinforce Hong Kong’s competitive advantages. “Hong Kong is actively developing its digital trade ecosystem, with a focus on innovation, efficiency and international collaboration, to consolidate its competitive advantages. As digital trade becomes more common, we are committed to making sure Hong Kong businesses continue to thrive. It is also a great opportunity to reinforce our city’s role as a leading supply chain hub. The HKTDC is dedicated to helping businesses leverage innovative technologies to equip businesses to be future-ready. Our Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference (ALMAC) examines trends in global trade and supply chains, innovation and digitalisation, while our support programmes, including Transformation Sandbox, help enterprises scale up their capabilities in key areas, including digital transformation and supply chain solutions, to empower SMEs and start-ups to benefit from digital trade.”Pamela Mar, Managing Director of the ICC DSI, believes Hong Kong, as an international trade and logistics hub already aligned with global standards, will lead Asia’s future digital trade development by remaining competitive and resilient amid a shifting global landscape. “Finance, trade and logistics make up over 45 % of Hong Kong’s economy, so accelerating digitalisation in these sectors will have a positive economy-wide impact.”, said Pamela Mar. “Hong Kong is well-positioned to become a leader in this space by aligning global standards and building on its strength as a trusted hub. The adoption of MLETR is a vital step, providing legal certainty for electronic documents like bills of lading, while streamlining processes and enhancing traceability. But legal reform is only the beginning — even greater gains lie in the private sector stepping up its digital transformation, which can be enhanced by Web3 technologies.”Andy Lam, Deputy Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the HKSAR Government, said, “The HKSAR Government is committed to fostering an efficient business environment and maintaining the international competitiveness of Hong Kong. Facilitating the digitalisation of trade documents is part of this strategy. We anticipate that the industry would actively provide feedback and allow the Government to formulate a legal framework that is in line with the needs of the industry, on which basis the industry may propose different technical solutions. On the other hand, the Government is also pressing ahead with Phase 3 of the Trade Single Window, which will not only facilitate the industry in their submission of business-to-government trade documents such as import and export declarations, but will also connect with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA)'s Commercial Data Interchange (CDI) to facilitate banks in accessing relevant data to process trade financing.”Industry experts discuss challenges in trade digital transformationAccelerating digital transformation across every link of the supply chain introduces unique challenges. At the Masterclass, the conference brought together specialists in digital trade finance, electronic bills of lading, digital freight and logistics, and digital retail supply chain management to share their practical experience and insights working on digital transformation.Kenise Sin, Senior Data Analyst in the Financial Infrastructure Department at the HKMA, explained: “SMEs’ access to trade finance has long been hindered by different pain points in the process. For instance, the heavy reliance on paper-based documents has led to inefficiencies and difficulties in tracking and verifying the transactions.” She added that HKMA aims to formulate a digitalisation roadmap for sea, road and air transportation cargo data by the end of this year, integrating cargo data sources across jurisdictions with the HKMA’s CDI, to enhance data sharing. In the coming two years, the HKMA will also work with the Airport Authority Hong Kong, the Transport and Logistics Bureau as well as pilot banks to leverage cargo data and CDI to improve digital trade finance.Erik Kwok, Head of Technology and Operations at Air8 — which develops a supply chain finance platform for cross-border trade — echoed these concerns: “Many small to medium-sized exporters struggle to secure funding due to inadequate data for credit assessments, hindering their ability to compete globally. These obstacles are compounded by insufficient support for risk management strategies, leaving SMEs vulnerable in a rapidly evolving market.”Another guest speaker, Candy Chan, Product Manager at IQAX, outlined how digitalising bills of lading can save both time and costs, boosting the efficiency of the entire trade ecosystem. She said many banks, freight forwarders, and customs systems still operate on fragmented digital platforms and lack interoperability. Blockchain, she argued, can bridge these silos: “Each trading partner has unique operational needs when adopting blockchain networks in digital platforms. In cross-border trade, trading and shipping documents are exchanged, and digitalised documents within a blockchain network can solve trust issues within and across networks, backed by MLETR.”Photo download: http://bit.ly/4lNB4t9Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC attended the Digital Trade Masterclass and delivered the opening remarks on 28 July.(From left) Andy Lam, Deputy Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, HKSAR Government; Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC; and Pamela Mar, Managing Director, ICC DSI.Industry experts shared insights and challenges on digital transformation.

- The implementation of streamlined approval procedures for Hong Kong- and Macao-registered proprietary Chinese medicines (“pCms”) by mainland China presents significant opportunities for Hong Kong companies to expand into the Greater Bay Area and other mainland market.- A unified and comprehensive registration system strengthens the quality control of Hong Kong's pCms, reinforcing confidence among other regulatory bodies and stakeholders.- Hong Kong's first Chinese medicine hospital will gradually commence operations by year end. This will help promote the popularity of Chinese medicine and pCms.HONG KONG, July 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (“HKTDC”) today released a report, "Challenges and Opportunities in Hong Kong's Proprietary Chinese Medicine Industry," that analyses the sector’s development, challenges, and export potential of Hong Kong’s pCm sector. With the completion of the transitional registration process for pCms in June this year, all pCms sold in Hong Kong now hold formal registration, marking a new era in the regulatory regime. The Chinese Medicine Hospital of Hong Kong is set to begin operations by late 2025 further popularising pCms. Additionally, mainland China has streamlined approval procedures for Hong Kong-registered traditional pCms, creating easier access to the mainland market.Hong Kong’s pCms enjoy a strong reputation, with streamlined registration procedures facilitating expansion into the Mainland marketHong Kong currently has approximately 2,000 companies involved in pCms and Chinese herbal medicine-related businesses, including import/export trade, manufacturing, wholesale and retail. Among these, some 264 enterprises are listed as local pCm manufacturers. The majority of pCms produced in Hong Kong are geared toward the consumer market. In 2024, Hong Kong’s pCm exports totaled HK$2.88 billion with 93% locally produced, setting the industry apart from re-export-driven sectors. Mainland China remains the largest export market, accounting for over 70% of exports, followed by Macao (20%), and ASEAN (6%).Wing Chu, Principal Economist (Greater China) of the HKTDC, stated: "Many Hong Kong proprietary Chinese medicines companies are eager to expand exports especially to the mainland market although pCm imports in mainland China are relatively small, with different pCms registration system and technical standards from those of Hong Kong. Notably, Hong Kong’s pCms are highly regarded in Southern China and overseas Chinese communities, and streamlined approval procedures in mainland China for traditional pCms of Hong Kong and Macao offer significant opportunities for Hong Kong businesses to expand into the Greater Bay Area and other mainland markets. Additionally, the rise of online shopping enables companies to leverage cross-border e-commerce platforms to access mainland and overseas markets, provided they comply with the corresponding regulatory requirements.”Comprehensive registration system drives standardisation of Chinese medicineThe report indicates that, in recent years, the HKSAR Government has actively promoted the development of Chinese medicine. Key initiatives include the establishment of the Chinese Medicine Council of Hong Kong to oversee the registration and management of pCms, and continuous support for Chinese medicine services in areas such as education, medical treatment, and scientific research. These efforts have enabled Hong Kong to cultivate professional Chinese medicine talent and promote the modernisation of Chinese medicine. Earlier this month, some 345 Hong Kong enterprises, including traders, registered a total of 8,244 pCms.The report states that a unified and comprehensive registration system enhances the quality control of Hong Kong's pCms, further increasing the confidence of other regulatory bodies and stakeholders in these products. Hong Kong's first Chinese medicine hospital is set to open in late 2025, providing comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services with Chinese medicine, which will drive the popularisation of Chinese medicine and pCms.In addition, Hong Kong pCm companies and local universities are committed to developing new pCms to further expand the market. Recently, the Centre for Chinese Herbal Medicine Drug Development at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), funded by the Innovation and Technology Commission of HKSAR Government under the InnoHK Research Clusters, developed a novel drug, CDD-2101, for the treatment of chronic constipation. The innovation is based on previous pilot clinical studies and basic research on the traditional Chinese herbal formulation "MaZiRenWan”. For the first time, it has received authorisation for clinical research in the United States.Prof. BIAN Zhaoxiang, Director of the Centre for Chinese Herbal Medicine Drug Development and Associate Vice-President (Clinical Chinese Medicine) at HKBU, said: "Our goal is to collect sufficient safety and efficacy data to obtain FDA approval for CDD-2101 as a marketable new drug and successfully launch it in the United States. This represents not only a major breakthrough in the research and development of Chinese medicine in Hong Kong but also an important step in driving the standardisation and internationalisation of Chinese medicine.”Mainland market surpasses RMB450 billionMainland China, the world's largest pCm market valued at RMB450 billion, streamlined registration and approval procedures in 2021 for traditional pCms for external use being sold in Hong Kong and Macao. In January 2025, the National Medical Products Administration further simplified the approval process for traditional pCms for oral use, provided they have been in use in Hong Kong for more than 15 years and whose production processes comply with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements. Relevant application materials and technical requirements were also released in April this year. The report notes that the implementation of the streamlined registration procedures opens a more convenient channel for Hong Kong companies to expand into the Greater Bay Area and other mainland markets.The recognition and acceptance of pCms differ across overseas regions. In many international markets, pCms are categorised and regulated as herbal medicines, health foods or dietary supplements. However, many Southeast Asian countries have specific, similar legal requirements for pCms, providing a clear pathway to enter these markets.The rapid growth of global e-commerce has created new sales channels for Hong Kong’s pCms through cross-border e-retail. For the mainland market, the report points out that certain pCms for external use, such as Chinese medicinal wines and cooling oils, have been incorporated in the Cross-border E-commerce Retail Import Commodity List, allowing relevant products to be sold to mainland China through cross-border e-commerce channels.In overseas markets, the e-commerce retail sector in ASEAN is experiencing significant growth, fueled by robust demand for herbal and health-related products in local markets. By adhering to local regulations, Hong Kong pCm enterprises can capitalise on additional business opportunities through online channels.Annual Chinese Medicine Conference to Share Latest Research FindingsTo foster the development of the Chinese medicine industry, the International Conference of the Modernization of Chinese Medicine & Health Products will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 15 to 16 August 2025. The conference is jointly organised by the Modernized Chinese Medicine International Association, the HKTDC and 10 scientific research institutions. During the event, 21 scholars and experts from medical schools, research institutions, pharmaceutical companies and organisations from mainland China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand will discuss the latest research progress in the prevention and treatment of tumors, inflammation, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases using traditional medicine. They will also present a number of related clinical research results and share successful cases.

HONG KONG, July 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Quantum Solutions Co.,Ltd. (2338.T), a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed company, announced the official launch of its Bitcoin treasury initiative in 23rd July. Over the next 12 months, the company plans to gradually build a reserve position of up to 3,000 Bitcoins (BTC) as part of a broader long-term strategy to diversify its corporate treasury assets. The initiative will be managed and executed by its wholly owned Hong Kong subsidiary, GPT Pals Studio Limited, and will begin with an initial investment of USD 10 million provided by international investment firm Integrated Asset Management (Asia) Limited.This marks Quantum Solutions’ first public move into digital asset allocation. The company views Bitcoin as a long-term, strategic reserve instrument and will implement the plan in phases to ensure proper risk control and financial governance. The 3,000-BTC target will be pursued in stages, with procurement timing and scale subject to prevailing market conditions, capital availability, and regulatory context.Integrated Asset Management (Asia) is a Hong Kong-based investment company that led the acquisition of Forbes Media in 2014. The firm, founded by Tak Cheung Yam, specializes in public and private equity investments. Mr. Yam, through its controlled entities, including Integrated Asset Management (Asia), is a major shareholder of Forbes Media, with the Forbes family retaining a minority stake. Integrated Asset Management’s engagement in this initiative underscores a growing institutional openness toward incorporating Bitcoin within modern corporate treasury considerations.The operational responsibility for the Bitcoin reserve project lies with GPT Pals Studio Limited, which has begun establishing a secure and auditable digital asset infrastructure, including segregated cold and hot wallet systems, internal controls, and accounting mechanisms. The company’s board and audit committee will provide periodic oversight of the portfolio’s valuation, exposure, and governance, in accordance with applicable regulatory and accounting standards.At current market prices, the target reserve of 3,000 BTC would be equivalent to approximately JPY 53.8 billion (USD 350 million). The company clarified that this is a long-term positioning effort rather than a short-term speculative activity and that it intends to align asset deployment with financial stability and shareholder value.“We are uniquely positioned to build a Bitcoin-first capital structure. Our goal is not only to accumulate Bitcoin, but to do so with institutional-grade discipline,” said Francis Zhou, CEO of Quantum Solutions. “We are in advanced discussions with top-tier asset managers, sovereign wealth allocators, and fintech leaders to scale our treasury roadmap responsibly and rapidly.”Globally, an increasing number of public companies and institutional investors are adopting Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and monetary policy risk. Quantum Solutions’ initiative places it among a growing group of companies taking early steps toward integrating blockchain-based assets into their financial frameworks. The decision to leverage Hong Kong as the operational base reflects confidence in the region’s infrastructure, policy clarity, and gateway role for global capital engagement.Tak Cheung Yam, founder of Integrated Asset Management Limited, shared his perspective on Quantum Solutions: "Quantum Solutions demonstrates a clear strategic vision and determination. I see compelling potential in their approach to building a significant Bitcoin treasury, and I look forward to supporting their efforts in unlocking institutional pathways and capital alignment. It's a timely opportunity for firms with global ambition and focused execution."This launch represents a significant development in Quantum Solutions’ broader capital strategy, transitioning from a traditional AI and tech solutions provider to an enterprise with a forward-looking, diversified financial architecture. The company will continue to explore ways to enhance its treasury structure by evaluating new asset classes and cross-border capital tools that strengthen its long-term balance sheet resilience.If the Bitcoin reserve program generates a material impact on the company’s financial performance in the future, disclosures will be made in accordance with Tokyo Stock Exchange regulations and financial reporting requirements.About Quantum Solutions Co., Ltd.Quantum Solutions Co., Ltd.
