The visit showcased Hong Kong’s appeal as a launchpad for global talent and startups to the winners of a pitch competition hosted by Hong Kong Talent Engage in partnership with Germany’s Young Founders Network HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 September 2025 – Twelve outstanding young innovation and technology (I&T) talents and six organisers from Germany completed an intensive five-day trip to Hong Kong and Shenzhen, co-organised by Hong Kong Talent Engage (HKTE) and Germany’s Young Founders Network (YFN). The visit aimed to provide the young I&T talents with an in-depth exploration of the twin city’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, industry support and I&T opportunities in innovation and technology, following the successful pitch competition held earlier this year in Munich, Germany in June this year. 12 talents from Germany completed an extensive Hong Kong visit, hosted by Hong Kong Talent Engage, to deep dive into Hong Kong and Shenzhen’s dynamic startup and innovation hub. Mr Chris SUN, the Secretary for Labour and Welfare of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region said, “Talent and technology are the key engines driving high-quality economic and social development. The Government will continue to promote complementarity and synergy between Hong Kong and other cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) as well as facilitate the integration of technology and talent with a view to fostering the economic development of Hong Kong and contributing to the impetus of national development.” SUN added that Hong Kong leapt to fourth place globally and first in Asia in the World Talent Ranking 2025, and that the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou innovation cluster was ranked first globally by the World Intellectual Property Organization, reflecting the high international recognition of Hong Kong’s appeal to talent and the GBA’s innovation capacity. A closer look at the Hong Kong potential The 18-member delegation visited the Hong Kong Science Park, the Shatin Communications and Technology Centre of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Center as well as the Qianhai International Talent Innovation and Exchange Centre in Shenzhen, and exchanged views with representatives from the Government’s investment promotion agency, technology enterprises and start-ups from Hong Kong and Mainland China. The delegation also toured various landmarks in Hong Kong to experience the unique charm of Asia’s world city. “Hong Kong and Shenzhen have completely changed my perception of what’s possible in Asia,” said Sophie Defauw, Co-Founder and CEO of AthleteIQ, which is tackling sports injuries with a patent-pending device that predicts muscle overuse injuries minutes in advance. “The level of innovation here, combined with its access to the Greater Bay Area and Southeast Asia, makes it a very attractive development hub, especially for my startup to explore business expansion, validate product-market fit in Asia, and connect with hardware accelerators.” “We’re especially interested in high-end manufacturing, construction, and mobility industries with the efficient supply chain in Hong Kong and Shenzhen,” said Isa Taflan, Co-Founder and CFO, Fibclick, who is revolutionising composite manufacturing through an end-to-end automated tool design system, combining AI, simulation, and augmented reality. “The innovation clusters and regional access offer great collaboration potential and this programme with HKTE was eye-opening.” Leveraging an abundance of resources and more In June this year, HKTE visited Munich, Germany, and co-organised a pitch competition on I&T and entrepreneurship with the local youth entrepreneurship organisation. Twelve winning I&T talents were invited to visit Hong Kong and Shenzhen together with representatives from the organisation and judges of the event.

Phase One deployment valued at $300 million begins in Indonesia Gorilla to Lead AI Infrastructure, GPU Deployment and Multi-Year SLA Operations London, United Kingdom – (Newsfile Corp. – September 17, 2025) – Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) (“Gorilla” or the “Company”), a global solution provider in Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence and IoT technology, and Singapore-based infrastructure platform Freyr have together signed a three-year, $1.4 billion contract to develop a network of AI-powered data centres across Southeast Asia. Execution will begin with a $300 million initial phase that will launch in Q4 2025. Gorilla and Freyr will serve multiple entities in developing infrastructure in the region. The multi-year contract positions Gorilla as the lead provider of AI infrastructure, service-level operations and end-to-end data centre intelligence across three regional markets: Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. While Gorilla will serve as principal operator and infrastructure lead, Freyr will be its regional expansion partner. Gorilla will utilise local co-location facilities and deploy its proprietary AI stack, including GPU-as-a-Service infrastructure, orchestration software and real-time monitoring systems, while managing performance and uptime SLAs over an initial three-year term, with optional 2-year extensions. “Gorilla has a uniquely strong understanding of this region and therefore the right vantage point to develop this critical network of data centres,” said Jay Chandan, Chairman & CEO, Gorilla Technology Group Inc. “We have been building in AI for more than 17 years, and we understand this region better than most. To have secured a customer of this calibre, a multi-billion-dollar telco with unmatched scale and reputation, is a powerful validation of Gorilla’s capability. Being trusted by such an institution from the outset speaks volumes about the strength of our platform and execution model. Together with Freyr, we are deploying at scale, not talking about it. Phase One alone is $300 million and it is only the start of a much larger expansion.” “This partnership is based on a simple and collective belief that Southeast Asia deserves sovereign, intelligent, high-performance infrastructure,” said Cary Liu, CEO of Freyr. “This is not just a $1.4 billion contract; it is the beginning of a broader expansion strategy. Together, Freyr and Gorilla are already targeting new data centre opportunities worth at least $2.5 billion over the next couple of years. The Southeast Asian data centre market is expected to exceed $12 to 15 billion and this alliance positions us right at the centre of that growth. With Gorilla’s AI leadership and our regional execution platform, we are not just keeping pace with demand, we are shaping it.” “Having spent decades building infrastructure strategies across global markets, I can say with confidence that this contract sets a new benchmark for how AI infrastructure should be executed,” said Thomas Sennhauser, Board Member Gorilla Technology Group Inc. “Gorilla’s advantage is clear: deep local understanding, operational speed and serious technical muscle. This is what happens when experience meets urgency. The shift from hyperscale to regionally intelligent infrastructure has begun, and Gorilla is leading that transition.” Gorilla and Freyr will now finalise detailed Statements of Work (SOWs), Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and GPU infrastructure deployment schedules. Site selection and systems integration for the initial phase are already underway, with AI services expected to go live in early 2026. About Gorilla Technology Group Inc.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 September 2025 – Response to the Policy Address 2025/26 by KK Chiu, International Director, Chief Executive, Greater China of Cushman & Wakefield: Housing Supply and Land Policy Optimize land resource allocation and accelerate public housing supply Hong Kong’s land allocation policies have a profound impact on people’s lives. We are pleased to see the government actively promoting Light Public Housing and other subsidized housing in recent years, as the overall policy direction helps improve living conditions. While we recognize the government’s efforts to introduce various measures to support housing needs, we believe it remains necessary to continuously increase the supply of public housing and accelerate the turnover and allocation of public housing resources. Welcoming lower construction costs to drive land development A major difficulty in land development lies in the persistently high construction costs. We are pleased to see the government adopting a multi-pronged approach to reduce construction costs and optimize process design. On this basis, we recommend that the government further rationally and timely allocate financial, human, and other resources. At the same time, it should proactively strengthen communication with the central government to strive for more centralized procurement benefits that meet Hong Kong’s needs, thereby compressing core costs such as building materials and equipment to enhance overall cost-effectiveness. This move will help accelerate the pace of land supply and provide the market with a more stable and affordable development space. Cross-District Transfer of Plot Ratio to Help Advance Redevelopment We support the government in promoting urban renewal with a more flexible approach, especially the relaxation of arrangements for the cross-district transfer of plot ratio. This helps to enhance the incentive for redevelopment and can also effectively alleviate the disputes and difficulties in land resumption and compensation, allowing redevelopment projects to be implemented more smoothly. Enriching the Home Ownership Ladder to Help Citizens Settle and Purchase Homes In addition to the continuous increase in the construction of public rental housing, I am pleased to see the government providing home ownership opportunities for families with general economic capabilities. With a significant increase in the supply of Home Ownership Scheme (HOS) flats, raising the Green Form quota ratio will assist more public rental housing tenants in purchasing their own homes. At the same time, this allows other applicants on the public housing waiting list to be housed more quickly, achieving a win-win situation. Furthermore, I am also pleased to see the Housing Authority’s plan to add another 1,000 quotas for eligible applicants of the “White Form Secondary Market Scheme.” Half of these will be allocated to young families and single-person applicants under the age of 40, helping young families realize their dream of home ownership. Response to the Policy Address 2025/26 by Alva To, Vice President, Head of Consulting, Greater China of Cushman & Wakefield: Northern Metropolis Development From “Supervision” to “Development”: The Northern Metropolis Enters a Critical New Phase of Implementation Our organization is pleased to see the Northern Metropolis officially transition from the “supervision” upgrade to the “development” phase, with the new “Northern Metropolis Development Committee” to be personally led by the Chief Executive. This structural change not only symbolizes a shift in policy focus but also demonstrates the government’s strong emphasis and determination for the project’s implementation. The establishment of three dedicated working groups will effectively enhance overall planning coordination, execution efficiency, and regulatory capacity, laying a solid foundation for the substantive development of the Northern Metropolis. I. Development and Operation Model Design Group: The Core Driver for Landing Mainstream Industries Operation-First, Construction-Led: This group is responsible for promoting the introduction and operation of mainstream industries, including the formulation of public-private partnership models such as “Build-Operate-Transfer” (BOT). This move reflects the government’s awareness that the key to the Northern Metropolis’s success lies not just in construction itself, but in sustainable subsequent operations and the successful establishment of industries. Incorporating a Technology-Oriented Approach in the “Two-Envelope Approach”: Our organization supports the government’s adoption of the “two-envelope approach” and recommends further increasing the weighting of the technical bid. This would make the quality of the industrial proposal, long-term commitment, and implementation capability the core criteria for evaluation. Introducing the “1.5-level development” Model: The concept of “1.5-level development” requires not only the initial introduction of facilities for entertainment, dining, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions), but more importantly, how to prepare and nurture the foundation for mainstream industries in the early stages. Therefore, our organization suggests first completing the research and positioning of mainstream industries. In the initial phase, ancillary facilities that require lower development intensity and smaller capital investment but can support the growth of mainstream industries should be introduced. Through several years of incubation and operation, population flow and industrial elements can be gradually gathered. Once the industries mature, the second phase of development can commence, thereby extending the value of the space and amplifying economic momentum. Adopting Flexible Land Development Models: We are pleased to see the government adopting diversified land grant methods, including leases, open tenders, restricted tenders, and even direct grants, coupled with industry-specific conditions to accelerate the implementation of high-potential projects. We welcome the government’s encouragement of broad market participation in the construction of the Northern Metropolis to enhance the efficiency and precision of land allocation. II. University Town Planning and Construction Group: Building the “Talent Engine” Behind Industrial Development Mutual Empowerment of Education and Industry: The University Town is not only a base for talent cultivation but also a cradle for promoting innovative research and development and high-value-added industries. Universities have a powerful “enabling effect”; in addition to exporting talent, they help upgrade mainstream industries to higher levels of technology and knowledge intensity. Construction of a Research Commercialization Platform: The government is encouraged to leverage universities to promote scientific research and attract local and international academic resources, establishing the Northern Metropolis as a base for international innovation talent. III. Planning and Development Working Group: The Key Force for Implementing Hardware Infrastructure and Managing
