Month: March 2026

Co-organised by the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau and Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK), the WGHK Summit drew family office decision-makers from Asia, Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Oceania, and Africa to Hong Kong for in-depth discussions on topics ranging from cross-generational wealth management and cultural legacy to technological innovation and philanthropy.

Delivering remarks at the gala dinner, the Financial Secretary, Mr Paul Chan, said, “Facing risks and uncertainty, investors diversify by necessity. Families seeking to preserve their legacy look for a safe haven—not merely a place to park capital, but a place with institutional strengths, legal clarity and credible commitments.

“Hong Kong is not only a safe harbour. It is also a city of business opportunities, and a platform for growth, for connection and for the purposeful deployment of capital. For families from around the world, Hong Kong is, no doubt, the best gateway to tap the enormous opportunities on the Mainland. International capital and investors are optimistic about Hong Kong. Our stock market performed strongly last year. And our asset and wealth management is also thriving. We are also opening up new frontiers, including gold and commodity trading, as well as fixed income and currency markets, which will further enrich our financial ecosystem.”

The Deputy Financial Secretary, Mr Michael Wong, delivered welcome remarks at the Summit and said, “Hong Kong is a perfect base to support the prudent diversification of the investments by family offices. The world is getting more uncertain. Many conflicts are escalating and proceeding in a manner that is increasingly worrying and concerning. Against this global backdrop, Hong Kong offers something that is quite rare and precious. Under ‘one country, two systems’, Hong Kong provides an economic and business environment with policy predictability and institutional trust. Our common law legal system, independent judiciary, open economy, free flow of capital, freely convertible currency, and simple tax regime all work together to provide a welcoming and dependable home for wealth that lasts through generations.”

Speaking at the Summit, the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Christopher Hui, said, “As we gather under the visionary banner of ‘Building Lasting Legacies’, I want to frame our discussions through a lens that truly defines Hong Kong: Safe, Stable and Sophisticated. It is the bedrock upon which global family offices are choosing to build, preserve and multiply generational wealth. Each session of today’s Summit has reinforced one fundamental truth: Hong Kong offers the safe harbour, the policy stability and the sophisticated ecosystem that ambitious families need to turn vision into lasting impact. Our Government remains fully committed to strengthening this foundation to drive Hong Kong as a nexus of legacies and innovation.”

Mr Hui highlighted that wealth succession is not only about growing fortune, but also about carrying forward core values across generations. He said that the Hong Kong Academy for Wealth Legacy is turning vision into action through its flagship philanthropic initiative, Impact Link (iLink). Since its launch, iLink has organised 17 workshops and seminars, equipping and inspiring over 700 family participants with the knowledge and confidence to begin their philanthropic journeys. Last June, the launch of the iLink Online Portal connected 55 family partners and strategic partners who together nominated 12 non-governmental organisations and charitable projects, offering families international connectivity and information collection for structured, informed decision making in charitable giving. Mr Hui described it as “Wealth for Good in its purest and most inspiring form”.

The Director-General of Investment Promotion at InvestHK, Ms Alpha Lau, said, “Hong Kong stands as a leading global hub for wealth management, innovation, culture, and philanthropy. The WGHK Summit’s gathering of family leaders from across the globe fully embodies Hong Kong’s role as a super-connector. InvestHK will continue to serve as a bridge, providing comprehensive strategic support and on-the-ground facilitation for global families, transforming the collaborative opportunities sparked at the Summit into tangible outcomes of ‘Building Lasting Legacies’ in Hong Kong.”

This year’s WGHK Summit featured one fireside chat and three panel discussions. The opening fireside chat on “Beyond the Scoreboard: Sports, Philanthropy, and Building Lasting Legacies” explored how sports and philanthropy can complement each other to create positive impacts. The three panel discussions, themed “Family Office Playbook: Governance, Capital, and Values Across Generations”, “Lasting Culture: Owning Demand, Building Communities, Creating Legends”, and “Lasting Change: AI, Robotics, and Building the Future Together”, invited helmsmen of internationally renowned family businesses, brand leaders, and tech pioneers to delve into cross-generational wealth planning and family governance, brand building, and how cutting-edge technologies are co-building the future.

A number of distinguished guest speakers shared their insights at the Summit.

Co-CEO and Chief Scientific Officer of Insilico Medicine, Dr Ren Feng, said, “Hong Kong plays a pivotal role at the intersection of two strategic pillars – frontier technology and life sciences. Built on a strong research base, an efficient capital market, and a forward-looking commitment to AI and technologies, Hong Kong not only provides fertile ground for companies like Insilico Medicine to translate breakthrough technologies into real-world impact but also serves as a distinctive global hub for capital and family offices – bridging long-term value investors with cutting-edge biopharmaceutical innovation. At WGHK2026, we showcased how AI is reshaping the traditional drug discovery and development paradigm and explored how family office investors can play a catalytic role in this technological transformation – together shaping the future of global health.”

“Hong Kong’s decision to position itself as a cultural hub where East truly meets West makes it the natural springboard for family-run heritage brands,” says Representative of Major Shareholder of Leica Camera AG, Mr Maximilian Kaufmann. “World-class infrastructure and seamless connectivity link people, ideas and businesses here, giving companies like ours the ideal platform to share our story across Asia. Having grown up inside Leica and learning from a father who always shouldered responsibility, I see Hong Kong as the place where tradition and entrepreneurship can thrive side by side.”

Founder of Yao Foundation, former Chairman of Chinese Basketball Association and NBA All-Star, Mr Yao Ming, said, “Hong Kong is where East and West meet, Chinese and other cultures converge. Those who are more inclusive, more open, and more diverse will have more opportunities, and are more likely to spark the greatest inspiration and innovation. That is Hong Kong’s most distinctive and valuable advantage. I’m happy to continue serving as a bridge between East and West – bringing different visions and people together, and supporting one another to succeed, so that everyone benefits.”

The Summit kicked off with a spectacular and powerful joint performance by the Diocesan Boys’ School Chinese Drum Team and robotic drummers that quickly caught the eyes of the floor. Seeing youngsters collaborating with smart technology on stage perfectly echoed the Summit’s theme of “Building Lasting Legacies”. This harmonious fusion of traditional artistry and frontier innovation symbolised how the next generation is embracing their mission to forge the future with innovative thinking.

It was a successful conclusion for the Summit with a gala dinner where worldwide family office decision-makers and industry leaders continued their exchanges against the backdrop of Victoria Harbour, delving into cross-generational succession, asset allocation, and collaborative opportunities. The two-day programme covered three major areas – wealth management, cultural branding, and smart technology – facilitating numerous cross-sector dialogues and exploration of potential collaborations, further consolidating Hong Kong’s leading position as a global family-office hub.

For many first-time car buyers, especially those upgrading from motorbikes, the most striking impression of the VF 3 is not its technology, but its sense of relief. No more exposure to heat, rain, or fatigue from long hours navigating traffic, common realities in cities like Jakarta or Surabaya.

‘A small car, yet a whole world of its own’

One user described the experience as “stepping into a completely different world”, a space where they can lean back, relax, and actually enjoy the journey instead of enduring it.

Despite its compact footprint, the VF 3 offers a surprisingly optimized cabin. Its minimalist yet functional design ensures that every element serves a clear purpose, from seating layout to dashboard ergonomics. The air-conditioning system cools the interior quickly, a crucial advantage in tropical climates.

A particularly thoughtful design detail is the upright windshield, which helps reduce direct sunlight entering the cabin, an issue that many traditional sedans in Southeast Asia still struggle with. These seemingly small refinements collectively deliver a noticeably improved everyday experience.

More importantly, for many Indonesian families, VF 3 quickly becomes part of daily life: school runs, grocery trips, and weekend getaways. A compact car, yet a complete personal space on wheels.

Effortless driving, confident journeys

One of the biggest psychological barriers for motorbike users switching to cars is driving complexity. The VF 3 addresses this by making the experience intuitive and approachable.

With a light steering feel, tight turning radius, and a length of just around 3 meters, this mini-SUV is perfectly suited for navigating dense urban environments, a defining characteristic of Indonesian cities.

The gear selector, positioned conveniently behind the steering wheel, further simplifies operation, especially for first-time drivers.

Beyond ease of use, the VF 3 delivers a distinctly different driving experience thanks to its electric powertrain. Acceleration is smooth and immediate, allowing for responsive maneuvering in traffic. Even at speeds of 70-80 km/h, the vehicle maintains stability and a planted feel, giving drivers confidence on highways and intercity routes.

Notably, with a maximum torque of up to 110 Nm, the VF 3 exceeds expectations for a vehicle in its segment. It handles inclines and varied terrains with ease, proving capable even on more challenging routes.

When cost is no longer a barrier

Beyond user experience, economics plays a decisive role in Indonesia’s mobility transition, and this is where VinFastcreates a compelling advantage.

Unlike gasoline vehicles, electric cars offer significantly more predictable operating costs. Users are no longer exposed to volatile global fuel prices. Instead, electricity costs are generally more stable and easier to forecast.

More importantly, VinFast introduces an innovative battery subscription model, which has already received positive feedback in Indonesia. By separating the battery, the most expensive component, from the vehicle price, the company significantly reduces upfront ownership costs.

This aligns closely with Indonesian consumer behavior, where affordability at the point of purchase remains a key decision factor, even if long-term savings are evident.

VinFast further strengthens this advantage through a seasonal promotion: free battery subscription fees for two years for vehicles invoiced before May 31, 2026. Economically, this is highly impactful, as it effectively eliminates a major portion of early-stage operating costs.

When both initial investment and ongoing expenses are minimized, the barrier to switching from motorbikes or gasoline cars to EVs becomes dramatically lower.

A “golden opportunity” to go electric

Amid increasing volatility in global fuel markets, Vingroup has launched the “Trade Gas for Electric” program across multiple markets, including Indonesia.

The initiative provides an additional 3% discount on VinFast electric cars and a 5% discount on VinFast electric scooters for customers who switch from older gasoline vehicles.

At the same time, GSM Green and Smart Mobility is supporting this transition through discounted electric mobility services, allowing users to experience EVs firsthand before making a purchase decision.

Together, these efforts reflect a comprehensive ecosystem approach, not just selling vehicles, but enabling a complete shift in mobility behavior.

In a country where motorbikes have long been the default choice, the VF 3 introduces a new paradigm: compact, accessible, and intelligently designed mobility. It delivers not only convenience and cost efficiency, but also a tangible upgrade in quality of life, from protection against weather conditions to creating a private, comfortable space for families.

As urbanization accelerates and mobility needs evolve, solutions like the VF 3 are no longer optional. Ultimately, the reason many Indonesian users are willing to “ditch motorbikes without regret” is simple. They are choosing a better way to move, and a better way to live.

Reimagining Wellness and Inspiring a New State of Everyday Wellbeing

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 March 2026 – In a fast‑paced city where pressure and information overload are part of daily life, the definition of health has expanded beyond the absence of illness. For many Hongkongers, health now encompasses sleep quality, emotional balance, appearance confidence, and a sense of connection with others – for a more holistic, lifestyle‑driven state of wellbeing. It is highly individual, yet strengthened through community support.

This April, Mannings is teaming up with Charlz Ng, a Hong Kong–based wellness advocate, brand strategist, and community builder, to bring Wellness from concept to everyday practice through the Mannings BoostUP Fiesta. The wellness & beauty discovery playground pop up will take place on 25–26 April at the West Kowloon Cultural District. Designed as a “Wellness Buffet”, Mannings BoostUP blends interactive experiences, mind‑body sessions, community‑driven activities, and a range of complimentary health assessments from the Mannings Professional Health Team. The goal is simple but transformative: to inspire everyone to move beyond reactive health habits and discover their own version of a good state at their own pace, in their own way.

Mannings Redefines Wellness Elevating Everyday Wellbeing

As Hong Kong’s leading Health & Beauty retailer with deep roots in the city for over 50 years, Mannings has accompanied generations of customers with authentic products, trusted advice and caring service. In recent years, the Mannings brand has evolved into The Trusted Advisor for Wellness, reflecting a growing public desire for more complete and balanced approach to wellbeing – not just physically, but emotionally, socially, and in everyday confidence. For younger generations in particular, they are looking for wellness that feels fun, relatable and part of real life.

That’s why Mannings is stepping outside the store and into the community, creating fresh, lively and varied wellness experiences that are easy to join and enjoyable for all. Through Mannings BoostUP, we are bringing together local wellness experts, movement leaders, and diverse communities to reimagine what Wellness can look and feel like, turning it into a “Wellness Buffet” where everyone can explore and try something new, elevating their holistic wellbeing. From young people to families to anyone curious about feeling better, Mannings BoostUp aims to spark a more vibrant, connected wellness culture across the city.

Alex Liu, Managing Director of Mannings Hong Kong, Macau and China, said: “Today’s customers see health as much more than ‘pills when you’re ill’. They aspire to build a richer, more vibrant life for themselves, nurturing their physical, emotional, appearance and social wellbeing every day.

Doreen Cheng, Marketing Director for DFI Retail Group Health & Beauty, North Asia, and H&B Own Brand Power Brand added: “Our customers are increasingly embracing wellness as a holistic, lifestyle‑driven pursuit. Mannings BoostUP is an experiential platform where wellness becomes immersive, uplifting and part of everyday life. Through these experiences, we invite customers to reconnect meaningfully with their complete selves, so that everyone can explore their own version of ‘being in good state’, at their own pace.”

Charlz Ng, Hong Kong–based wellness advocate, brand strategist, community builder and Founder of 120 Collective shared: “At Mannings BoostUP, you don’t need to be an athlete or gym enthusiast. We aren’t chasing records or keeping score, we’re here to help people understand themselves a little better. That’s why partnering with Mannings felt natural to us. We share the belief that wellness should be part of daily life, and that everyone should be able to engage with it in their own way. It’s about the courage to try something new, the joy of discovery, and the magic that happens when we move together.”

全新品牌展現公司轉型與人工智能領導地位，致力協助企業對應挑戰

隨著企業以人工智能、自主系統及資料驅動決策為核心重新設計營運模式，資訊保安也必須相應進化。TrendAI™ 反映機構已從保護基礎架構與應用程式，擴大至管治人工智能系統在企業中如何行動、連結與作出決策。

TrendAI™ 的人工智能資訊保安方法建立在四大核心原則上：

1. 取得人工智能使用情況的視野，
2. 理解系統與代理在不同環境中的互動，
3. 解讀這些互動背後的脈絡與意圖，
4. 透過政策與管控機制管理使用行為與代理驅動的動作，並在關鍵決策點引進人手監督。

趨勢科技執行長陳怡樺表示：「這不是表面上的改變，而是宣示我們未來的前進方向及我們將如何引領產業發展。TrendAI™ 的推出，象徵著我們的信念 ── 安全必須與所保護的科技同步演進。全球企業正重新以人工智能、資料與自動化設計其營運架構，而我們的任務就是確保這些企業能從一開始就具備信心、掌控力與韌性。」

此項轉變也象徵公司已從多項業界領先的資訊保安產品組合，轉型成一體化的企業級人工智能資訊保安平台 TrendAI Vision One™。TrendAI™ 在雲端、用戶端、網絡及威脅偵測等領域均榮獲Gartner、IDC與Forrester等分析機構肯定。全新品牌定位反映TrendAI™ 為人工智能驅動的企業打造資訊保安方案的方式，更貼近現代企業管理網絡風險的運作思維。

TrendAI™ 企業事業群平台暨營運長金敬秀表示：「這代表一種根本性的資訊保安新思維。隨著人工智能系統承擔越來越多責任，資訊保安防護也必須從被動回應事件，轉向理解意圖及稠理由機器驅動的行為。TrendAI™ 建構於數十年威脅情報與現實世界經驗之上，協助企業降低風險、提升速度，並以機器般的速度安全運作。」

隨TrendAI™登場，同時推出以下新計劃：

• TrendAI™ AI Security Brief：全新Podcast系列，分享人工智能與資訊保安交匯點上的即時與真實案例。
• TrendAI™ Spark：全球旗艦活動生態圈，聯結客戶、合作夥伴與技術社群，共同探索人工智能如何重塑資訊保安、風險與領導決策思維。
• S-RM策略夥伴合作：透過與全球資訊保安事件應變與網絡風險顧問夥伴合作，強化TrendAI™ 的合作生態圈，將其導入企業資訊保安事件發生後的應變流程，協助組織從事件遏制階段，轉向長期風險降低與資訊保安策略的建立。
• 與HackerVerse合作：以自主人工智能代理的獨立對抗測試來實際執行MITRE ATT&CK技術，並透過可量化、具實證基礎的成果，持續驗證偵測效能。
