TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Heading Home to Fuji JCN Newswire

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Heading Home to Fuji

5 9 月, 2022
TOKYO, Sep 5, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing's GR010 HYBRID Hypercar will make its home debut when the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) returns to Japan for the 6 Hours of Fuji after a three-year absence.The penultimate round of the 2022 WEC season sees the series return to Fuji Speedway, located 100km west of Tokyo, for the first time since October 2019 and TOYOTA GAZOO Racing targets a fifth consecutive victory on its home track. Close competition over the first four races of the season sees TOYOTA GAZOO Racing lead the manufacturers' standings by 15 points from Alpine following a dramatic 6 Hours of Monza in July. The 2022 Le Mans winners Sebastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa, in the #8 GR010 HYBRID, were runners-up in Italy and are second in the drivers' championship, 10 points behind the leading Alpine crew. Reigning champions Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Jose Maria Lopez finished third at Monza after having contact with another car whilst leading the race, and they aim for a second win of the year in their #7 GR010 HYBRID. Both Kamui and Ryo have already raced at Fuji Speedway this year, in Super Formula. Ryo won the season-opening race there in April to add to his Super GT victory there in 2020. The GR010 HYBRID will race for the first time in front of Japanese fans and partners this weekend, although the 2021 Le Mans-winning example has been exhibited around the country since it made history by becoming the first Hypercar to win at La Sarthe. Fuji Speedway is more than a home race for the team. The hybrid powertrain in the GR010 HYBRID is designed, developed and built just a few kilometres from the track and, for many colleagues from Higashi-Fuji Technical Center, this weekend's race is their first chance to see the car in action. The 4.563km track, which is the shortest on the WEC calendar despite its 1.5km start-finish straight, is also the most successful circuit for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing, which has won seven of the eight WEC races, missing out on the top step of the podium only in a difficult 2015 season. Historically, Fuji Speedway played a significant role in Toyota's endurance racing development. The iconic 2000GT sportscar showed its speed with wins in the 1967 24-hour and 1000km races, whilst the Toyota 7 wrote itself into legend with fearsome performances there, including victories in the Fuji 1000km in 1968 and 1969. The All Japan Sports Prototype Championship, a national series for Le Mans-style cars, brought Toyota back into front-line sportscar competition in the 1980s and it became a regular winner at Fuji Speedway, which also hosted Japan's first World Sportscar Championship race in 1982. The circuit, on the foothills of Mount Fuji, was upgraded in 2005 and, while the track lay-out remains unchanged since the first modern WEC race there in 2012, the surroundings will look different thanks to the development of a new motorsport resort, including museum, driving centre, visitor entertainment and hotel. The always-enthusiastic Japanese fans get their first chance to see the Hypercars at Fuji Speedway on Friday, when two 90-minute practice sessions are scheduled. Final practice on Saturday prepares the teams for an early afternoon qualifying, while the race begins at 11am local time on Sunday, 4am CEST.For more information, visit https://toyotagazooracing.com/wec/release/2022/rd05-preview/.

和铂医药-B（02142.HK）：营收大增11.5倍，多管线获重大突破，显现巨大创新力

5 9 月, 2022
EQS 新闻 via SEAPRWire.com / 2022-09-05 / 10:27 UTC+8 和铂医药-B（02142.HK）：营收大增11.5倍，多管线获重大突破，显现巨大创新力 来源：格隆汇 8月31日，港股医药公司和铂医药发布中期业绩，报告显示其2022上半年，营收大增11.5倍，实现了跨越式的增长。 在行业景气度并不高涨的当下，和铂医药却能异军突起取得如此惊人的业绩增长，其中的深层次原因值得探究，或可借此进一步挖掘公司的长期价值。 多管线达成里程碑事件，丰富产品矩阵构建核心竞争力 作为新一代创新药企业的引领者，和铂医药以极快的速度研发出了一系列的创新药物。2017年时，公司仅有1项自主研发产品，但至2022年，公司已经拥有高达16项自主研发产品。和铂医药不仅拥有世界上稀缺的全人源重链抗体HCAb平台，更有全新的第二代全人源抗体发现平台H2L2，以及免疫细胞衔接器平台HBICE®。依托此三大技术平台，和铂医药已经形成了独具特色的创新而差异化的产品管线，管线内拥有多个全球首创和潜在同类最佳的优质自研资产。并且值得注意的是，公司的创新产品大多针对当前其他公司难以攻克的靶点和路径，开辟出了创新药的新时代。 值得注意的是，除了上述药物外，公司目前已有部分药物即将进入商业化阶段。进展最快的巴托利单抗(Batoclimab) HBM9161，预计2022年下半年/2023上半年就重症肌无力（MG）适应症提交BLA申请。 同时，针对干眼症的特那西普(Tanfanercept) HBM9036也已经完成了III期临床试验首次期中分析。 综合来看，和铂医药目前既有临近商业化阶段的药物，同时技术平台又不断研发出一系列差异化创新产品。全球授权的项目也接踵而至，可以判断，其营收将不断扩大，可持续造血能力将极大提升；另一方面随着潜力药物的临床推进加快，在收获期到来之时，公司将迎来管线的全面爆发，届时其价值将真正显现。 技术平台长期价值显现，实力获多方认可 进一步探究公司丰富管线的背后，可以发现和铂医药的技术平台在其中起着关键作用。从技术上来看，和铂医药的三大平台无疑是领先行业的，具体可以看到，全人源抗体发现平台H2L2，经典双重双轻链抗体技术平台，开发的产品安全性、成药性和亲和力均具有竞争优势。 全人源重链抗体发现平台HCAb则是和铂的独门绝技，其可产生全人源仅重链抗体，分子量小肿瘤穿透力性强，并可以有效解决双抗中的错配问题。 免疫细胞衔接器平台HBICE®则是公司发力特色双抗管线的关键，通过聚焦T细胞激活的“第一信号”和“第二信号”，将CD3双抗和4-1BB双抗齐头并进。 三大技术平台持续迭代升级，向多元化应用场景迈进，开发众多创新领域产品，由单抗到双抗、ADC、NK、Car-T等一系列前沿创新产品。优秀的平台也获得了市场的认可，从中报数据可以看到，公司报告期内营业收入达2760万美元，同比上升11.5倍。对于一家biotech企业而言，能取得这样的成绩实属亮眼。 深挖高营收背后的原因，可以看到，公司在过去的半年里，达成了多起商业合作。不仅与阿斯利康订立了一项最高交易金额达3.5亿美元的全球对外授权协议，更通过多元化创新合作商业模式，与多家跨国机构签订合作协议，包括在ADC方面与LegoChem和映恩生物达成项目合作。CAR-T方面与哈佛医学院附属医院Dana-Farber合作开发。和波士顿儿童医院合作开发创新性抗体疗法等。 上述合作都来自于公司技术平台及内部研发，尤其是与阿斯利康的合作，于临床前早期便完成了全球性的对外授权。相较于目前中国创新药企习惯于在临床阶段授权“出海”的做法，临床前授权需要药物发明者拥有更加扎实的早期研发能力，更为强大的专利技术壁垒以及更为充分早期数据验证。 反观阿斯利康能够在竞争激烈的CLDN18.2市场中选中HBM7022这一临床前资产，可见和铂医药在全球创新格局中独树一帜。同时，由于节约了庞大的临床试验开支，大大降低了开发成本，因此这次交易也能够为公司实现更加丰厚的投资价值回报。 除此外，公司还与恩凯赛药、华兰基因、百图生科、信达生物等多家机构达成合作，在NK细胞疗法、双抗、人工智能等领域进行探索和创新。 值得注意的是，和铂抗体平台的商业合作模式不仅限于纯粹的技术授权，同时还与其它产业创新引领者和学术机构，在下一代创新疗法上进行共同发现和共同开发。通过这样的模式，不仅能最大化平台的商业化价值，也能实现更高的创新效率。 目前，该平台已获得超过50个行业及学术界合作伙伴的认可。可以预见，基于和铂目前已经构建的合作范本，其抗体平台未来将有潜力，可以创造更多的收入，同时拓宽公司研发工作的范畴。 小结 随着我国创新药企研发实力的增强，很多创新药企业已经步入2.0阶段，逐渐与国际接轨，开始填补尚未满足的适应症空白，其议价能力也更强。这其中，那些布局开发难度较大的创新靶点的企业，以及高壁垒创新技术平台的企业，无疑是下一个十年最值得关注的企业。 在一众企业中，和铂医药已经显露了其价值，开发的产品已经产生了较好的营收，获得了国内外众多合作伙伴的认可。基于此优势，和铂医药后续在板块估值修复时，也大概率将是市场资金关注的焦点所在，有望享受市场给予的估值溢价，具备领跑行业的潜质。 文件: 和铂医药-B（02142.HK）：营收大增11.5倍，多管线获重大突破，显现巨大创新力 2022-09-05 此新闻稿由EQS Group via SEAPRWire.com转载。本公告内容由发行人全权负责。原文链接: http://www.todayir.com/sc/index.php

JAKARTA, Sep 3, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - State-owned oil and gas company PT Pertamina succeeded in saving operational costs of around Rp6 trillion (US$402.46 million) until July 2022 through several efficiency programs amid rising world oil prices that increased fuel production costs.PT Pertamina head office building (ANTARA/HO-PT Pertamina)She explained that energy companies around the world are facing difficult situations as a result of disruption of the global energy supply chain due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The global trade mobility leading to post-pandemic recovery was jolted by limited supply that led to an energy crisis.The president director noted that the Indonesian government's policy of maintaining the people's purchasing power through fuel subsidies was the proper measure to accelerate economic recovery.According to Widyawati, the accuracy of the policy is reflected in the fuel consumption increase for community mobility and business activities.Pertamina President Director Nicke Widyawati stated that such a success could not be separated from strategic cost-saving measures taken by the company group since the start of this year.She explained that energy companies around the world are facing difficult situations as a result of disruption of the global energy supply chain due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The global trade mobility leading to post-pandemic recovery was jolted by limited supply that led to an energy crisis.The president director noted that the Indonesian government's policy of maintaining the people's purchasing power through fuel subsidies was the proper measure to accelerate economic recovery.According to Widyawati, the accuracy of the policy is reflected in the fuel consumption increase for community mobility and business activities.On the other hand, she also pointed out that the increase in fuel consumption had caused an increase in the burden of government subsidies."We understand the heavy burden of the government's fuel subsidy, and for that Pertamina carries out various cost-saving programs in order to help reduce the burden," she stated.She remarked that the largest chunk of the company's cost of fuel production is for the purchase of crude oil, which accounts for 92 percent of the production costs.Fortunately, investment in upgrading the Pertamina Oil Refinery, which had been conducted in the last four years, had succeeded in increasing the flexibility of crude oil availability.It means, if so far, the Pertamina refinery has only been able to process certain crude oil that is expensive, but starting last year, it has been able to process crude oil, with a higher sulfur content, which is cheaper and can be gained from many sources," Widyawati stated.This is Pertamina's strategic move that has succeeded in significantly reducing fuel production costs, she affirmed.In addition, the company's energy efficiency efforts in all operational areas -- from upstream to downstream -- had caused significant cost savings while also contributing to a reduction in carbon emissions."The post-restructuring breakthrough, which is also significant to achieve Pertamina Group's efficiency, is the centralization of the procurement of goods and services, as well as the integration and optimization of all assets from upstream to downstream," she stated.Apart from saving costs, the Pertamina Group has also succeeded in increasing its revenue through the export of high value-added products, such as HVO (palm-based D100) and Low Sulfur Fuel Oil.By upgrading its refineries, Pertamina has currently been able to produce more low-carbon products whose demand had continued to increase, thereby capturing a very prospective opportunity in the midst of global demand for such a product."For Pertamina, cost savings are not just about cutting costs but also changing operating models and improving business processes, so that all company programs can be carried out and all targets are achieved, but at a lower cost," Widyawati stated."Pertamina will continue to make various efforts to save costs, which at the same time can reduce carbon emissions, thereby supporting the company's and national energy transition efforts," she said.Contact: Fajriyah Usman, VP Corporate Communications, PT Pertamina (Persero)M: +62 858 8330 8686, Email: fajriyah.usman@pertamina.com, URL: https://www.pertamina.comWritten by: Yuni Arisandy Sinaga, Editor: Rahmad Nasution (c) ANTARA 2022 Copyright 2022 ACN Newswire.

G20 Digital Ministers yields consensus on 3 priorities

3 9 月, 2022
JAKARTA, Sep 3, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - The Digital Economy Ministers Meeting (DEMM) was held in Nusa Dua, Bali, Thursday (September 1, 2022). It was the culmination of the Digital Economy Working Group (DEWG) meetings, as one of working group of the G20 that focuses on issues related to the digital economy and highlights the role of digital transformation on economic and social growth. Communication and Information Minister Johnny G. Plate opened the 2022 G20 Digital Economy Ministers' Meeting in Nusa Dua, Bali province, on Thursday (September 1, 2022). (ANTARA PHOTO/Hafidz Mubarak A/foc/uyu)The DEWG itself discussed three priority issues of the digital economy at the G20 Indonesia Presidency, including digital connectivity, digital skills and literacy, and cross-country data flow.The Minister of Communication and Informatics, Johnny G. Plate, said the DEMM has produced a document called "G20 Digital Economy Minister Meetings 2022; Chair Summary".The document summarizes agreements between the ministers for the digital economy on the three priority issues of the DEWG. "The document shows that for all substantive content, the Indonesian Presidency (G20) has reached consensus from all DEWG members in accordance with DEWG priority issues," Plate said at a press conference, Thursday afternoon. It also summarizes all ideas and dynamics that developed during the series of G20 DEWG meetings presented by representatives of G20 member countries over the past six months. The formulation of concrete steps in the document will be presented as input for President Joko Widodo in leading the G20 Summit which will be held in November.On the first priority issue regarding connectivity and post-COVID-19 recovery, Plate said the meeting agreed on the need for a people center in an effort to strengthen digital connectivity. The meeting, he said, also agreed on the importance of digital security as the key to business sustainability. "The meeting also welcomed various initiatives of the G20 Indonesia Presidency, such as the G20 Digital Innovation Network (DIN), G20 Digital Transformation Expo (DTE), and the smart village and island initiative together with ITU," he said. On the issue of digital skills and digital literacy which is the second priority issue, the DEMM meeting succeeded in compiling the "G20 toolkit for measuring digital skills and digital literacy". The document is useful for standardizing the measurement of literacy indicators and digital skills for more objective public policy making and encouraging international cooperation in overcoming gaps between countries, responding to the challenges of a digital future. "The presidency has also succeeded in compiling a compilation of reports on policies and recommendations to increase meaningful participation of vulnerable groups in the digital economy, as well as a summary document of practices and policies on digital skills and advanced digital literacy," he said. On the issue of free data flow with trust and cross-border data flow, Johnny said the DEWG forum has recognized the efforts of the Indonesian Presidency to initiate discussions on the principles of justice, transparency and legitimacy proposed by Indonesia. "This is a new principle base in cross-border data governance. We all know that data contains at least two important things. The first is that the data has a high economic value, and the second is that the data is related to geopolitics and geostrategy as well as the sovereignty of each nation and state," he explained. The DEMM meeting was attended by digital ministers from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Singapore, Cambodia, South Africa, Japan, India, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. Meanwhile, Australia, Germany and Spain were represented by ministerial representatives. DEMM was also attended by representatives from international organizations, including the Secretary General of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Under Secretary General of the United Nations and Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and The Pacific (UNESCAP).Written by: Rizka Khaerunnisa, Uyu Liman, Editor: Suharto (c) ANTARA 2022 Copyright 2022 ACN Newswire.

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing going for gold in Greece JCN Newswire

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing going for gold in Greece

2 9 月, 2022
TOKYO, Sep 2, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - The TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team aims to return to the top step of the podium on the legendary Acropolis Rally in Greece on September 8-11, round 10 of the 2022 FIA World Rally Championship.2022 GR YARIS Rally1 HYBRIDMap Acropolis Rally Greece 2022The Acropolis returned to the WRC calendar in 2021, having been an almost permanent fixture up until 2013 with a reputation for rocky mountain roads and high temperatures which combine to create a tough challenge for the cars, tyres and drivers.Kalle Rovanpera, who won the event at the first attempt last year, has a lead of 72 points with four rounds remaining and the possibility to write his name in history in Greece if he can finish the rally on the podium, depending on others' results.After finishing second last time out in Belgium, Elfyn Evans is third in the standings and one of those also still in contention for the drivers' title. Following two podiums in the last two rounds, Esapekka Lappi will contest the Acropolis for the first time since 2014, while Takamoto Katsuta will make his event debut with TGR WRT Next Generation.This year's rally begins with a Thursday night superspecial stage in the Athens Olympic Stadium, which previously hosted the WRC in 2005/06. From there crews head directly west to Loutraki, ready for two passes of the stage of the same name on Friday morning, sandwiching a single pass of the adjacent Harvati. The afternoon journey north to the service park in Lamia includes three more stages: a tyre-fitting zone separates the new Dafni and Livadia tests, which are followed by Bauxites. Saturday consists of two loops of three stages west of Lamia and almost half of the rally's competitive distance. Pyrgos is the longest stage of the weekend at 33.2 kilometres and precedes the returning Perivoli and famous Tarzan test. On Sunday, Elatia-Rengini separates two passes of Eleftherohori, the second forming the rally-ending Power Stage.Quotes:Jari-Matti Latvala (Team Principal)"After being very close to the victory in the last two rallies, we go to Greece really wanting to win, but we know that it won't be easy on such a tough event. The Acropolis is a legendary rally and it's great to have it back on the calendar since last year. We saw that the gravel roads there are generally not quite as rough as they were in the past. This means that, although reliability is still really important, we also need to have a strong level of performance. Kalle took a great victory last year in difficult conditions and rain which is of course not typical in Greece. Repeating that will be difficult now he is running first on the road, especially as most of Friday's stages are run only once, but Kalle has been handling this challenge very well so far this season. Elfyn and Esapekka have also been very strong recently and hopefully they can continue in a similar way in Greece."Elfyn Evans (Driver car 33)"I'm looking forward to the Acropolis Rally. After the high-speed nature of Estonia and Finland, Greece will offer a very different challenge for a gravel rally. Sardinia was the last rough gravel event we had in Europe and we had quite a good feeling with the car there and good speed, even though we didn't get the result at the end of the weekend. There are still things we can improve, and hopefully we can pick up where we left off and keep making steps forward in Greece. Most likely it will be a hot and tough rally like the Acropolis is known for, but we saw last year with the rain that we can't be completely certain about the weather."Kalle Rovanpera (Driver car 69)"Belgium was a difficult weekend for us, so in Greece we just need to get back at the level where we should be and try to have a good rally. The championship is never over until it's over so we can't think about it too much: We're just trying to get good points from each event and control what we can. Greece was a really nice rally for us last year but our chances this time will probably depend a lot on the weather. If it's going to be dry then I think it's going to be really tricky for us to open the road on Friday. If so, it probably won't be much easier for our rivals just behind us, and hopefully we can still make the best of the situation."Esapekka Lappi (Driver car 4)"In Greece we will be going to something that's quite unknown for me. I did the rally once before in 2014 when it was a round of the European championship, but half of it was on asphalt then, so there will be a lot that's new to discover. But I had also not been to Ypres for eight years and we finished on the podium there. So we will try and aim for something similar again this time. We had good speed and a good feeling on similarly rough gravel roads in Sardinia, and hopefully we can find that again in Greece."Please visit www.wrc.com for the latest. Copyright 2022 JCN Newswire.

Younger Colorectal Cancer Population Highlights the Importance of Early Screening, Highly Sensitive Test Product Prenetics has Launched the Market

2 9 月, 2022
HONG KONG, Sep 2, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Colorectal cancer (CRC) has become one of the main cancers threatening the health of human beings. In the United States and China, CRC has ranked among the top three cancers that leads to death.CRC screening has been proven to be one of the most effective tools for preventing colorectal cancer. Research indicated that since screening was first recommended in 1980 in the United States, the incidence rate of CRC has dropped by 40%. Meanwhile, it's also important to follow the updated evidence, ensuring that the screening is suitable for the people who benefit most.The onset of Disease Tends to be YoungerLatest research has indicated that 94% of newly CRC cases occur in adults over 45 years old. Among which, the number of newly onset and death cases occurring in individuals under the age of 50 has increased a lot. CRC diagnosis among younger adults is growing.Therefore, National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) has updated its guidance in 2021, suggesting that people at average risk shall conduct screening from the age of 45.U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) also pointed out that all asymptomatic adults aged 45 years old or above are exposed to CRC risks. Even without high-risk factors, they're recommended to take CRC screening.Although the incidence rate of CRC is as high as thyroid cancer and breast cancer, chance of treating CRC is better at an early age. It is very important to early find and treat the disease to ensure a higher survival rate. Research by the world-leading diagnosis and genetic health testing company Prenetics (PRE.O) showed that the 5-year survival rate of stage I and II CRC is up to 90% and stage III is 72.8%. It falls to 15.1% for stage IV CRC.Despite the significantly higher survival rate in the early treatment of CRC, unfortunately nearly half of the CRC cases are detected in the advanced stage, leading to extremely difficult treatment. Lacking a convenient and highly effective detection method is the vital cause of this phenomenon.Significant Reform of CRC DetectionCRC screening has always relied on invasive detection methods including colonoscopy. Since such detection may cause pain or discomfort, some patients refuse the screening.With the rising popularity of genetic detection science, CRC screening has welcomed a significant reform. Currently, a non-invasive and at-home screening test product - ColoClear has been introduced by Prenetics and New Horizon Health to the Southeast Asia market, which can detect pre-cancerous lesions and early, middle, and advanced stage CRC in an effective way.Combining advanced stool DNA technology with a fecal immunochemical test (FIT), ColoClear is easier, cheaper, and simpler and has high sensitivity, up to 96%, which is comparable to the traditional colonoscopy.On top of ColoClear, CircleDNA, a home health diagnosis product of Prenetics that give over 500 test reports in 20 categories, which plays an important role in the early detection of cancer and other potential disease risks.

APAC Attracts 50% of Global Clinical Trials According to New GlobalData Report

2 9 月, 2022
SYDNEY, Sep 2, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Novotech, the leading Asia Pacific biotech specialist CRO has released new market data in a report now available titled "Evolution of Clinical Trials in the Asia Pacific Region". The report was prepared by GlobalData and confirms that "the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region was the largest contributor to the global clinical trial landscape from 2017 to 2021, accounting for more than 50% of conducted trials during the analysis period."Download report here https://novotech-cro.com/whitepapers/evolution-clinical-trials-asia-pacific-region-compared-us-and-eu5In addition, the GlobalData research found that all phases of clinical trials in the region registered higher growth than both the US and the EU5.The region registered significantly higher growth than the US and the EU5 across all analysed therapeutic areas, including CNS diseases, cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and infectious diseases, the latter of which witnessed the highest growth. There was also 100% growth in oncology trials during the same period.GlobalData analysis of this strong growth has been linked to a range of factors, including:- site availability, particularly for oncology trials, when compared to the US and Europe- lower operating costs- the pharmacogenomic profile of Asian populations as a key factor that requires Phase I data in local populations. "Add to the mix the ease of regulatory compliance as well as the high standards required, and overseas drugmakers have never been keener to access this burgeoning market," according to GlobalData. "Recent streamlining of drug approval by the government, guided by the National Health Commission (NHC) and National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), has also resulted in a more efficient and clear-cut drug approval system based on global standards."According to Yooni Kim, Vice President, Global Clinical Services Novotech: "Asia-Pacific offers a compelling solution for expedited clinical trials with its vast patient populations, less competitive clinical trial landscape, and world-class KOLs, in addition, regulatory reforms have accelerated approval processes.

Leading VC Firm, Black3Lab Capital Announces Investment in Ripe Web 3.0 Sectors SeaPRwire

Leading VC Firm, Black3Lab Capital Announces Investment in Ripe Web 3.0 Sectors

2 9 月, 2022
New York, NY, September 02, 2022 – (SEAPRWire) – Black3Lab Capital, a venture capital firm built to empower web 3.0 companies with potential for global mass adoption, has announced investments in ripe web 3.0 sectors. Black3Lab’s proposed $50 to $100 million fund will focus on building a genuinely feasible economy of web 3.0-fueled products and services for the global populace. In addition to investing in potentially productive web 3.0 sectors, Black3Lab will undertake the enterprise adoption of social media, gaming, and NFTs. At a recently concluded launch ceremony, co-founder of Black3Lab, Alex Chong, announced that the putative investment fund is in partnership with three famous partners. The Black3Lab fund will focus primarily on enriching projects with the potential to accelerate global adoption. “We are hyper-focused on web 3.0 companies with the suitable DNA to integrate with existing conglomerates with millions of customers for Black3Lab portfolio companies to tap. Ultimately, mass user adoption will allow web 3.0 platforms and projects to achieve explosive growth and sustainable revenue generation capabilities,” Alex Chong reveals. Unlike web 2.0, which gave rise to internet giants like Google, Apple, Facebook, etc., web 3.0 promotes user-centric ownership, harmonizing perfectly with human incentives. Speaking about the current web 2.0 internet phase and the rise of centralized tech giants, the co-founder of Black3Lab reiterated Alex Chong’s claims of web 3.0’s potential to deliver at least ten times the market opportunities of the former. “User-centric networks deliver significantly higher and more explosive growth than their centralized competitors. At the core, you can always find more favorable terms for users. Web 2.0 gave birth to a US$10 trillion market, and now web 3.0 has the potential to deliver ten times the market opportunities,” Candy states. The Black3Lab fund will incorporate a dynamic trading strategy that delivers consistent returns of over 30% to investors. Black3Lab Partners Per Alex Chong’s announcement at the launch ceremony held at the Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong, on 18th August 2022, Black3Lab has partnered with notable media veterans like Bob. Bob led the global collaboration team of some of the biggest media tech companies. He also led Strategies and Partnerships at Forkast—a web 3.0 media ecosystem. Bob recapitulates Candy’s idea of user-centric ownership as the key to driving mass adoption in the emerging web 3.0 space. “Black3Lab Capital is notably unique: We exist not just out of the goal for strong financial returns but to foster the mass adoption of web 3.0 solutions. We believe user-centric ownership will be the key to unleashing the next-generation internet,” Bob says. About Black3Lab Capital Black3Lab Capital is a VC firm founded in Hong Kong. Black3Lab aims to empower web 3.0 companies with maximum potential for accelerated mass success, offering high returns to investors. The team comprises renowned enterprise founders, tech developers, VCs, media executives, and F&B entrepreneurs keen on introducing a more equitable, rewarding, and innovative internet economy.
