Mr. KC Chan, Founder of HealthMutual Group, noted the significance of the partnership. He said, “this cooperation is a natural progression of the vision we held when establishing HMG: to ensure that medical insurance remains a sustainable funding source for Hong Kong healthcare. Facilitating smooth cross-border medical activity is essential to achieving that goal. By teaming up with a leader in AI and data security, we are leveraging our deep experience in medical concierge services to better serve the broader insurance industry.” Mr. Aldous Ng, Founder and CEO of Hong Kong Data Ltd., added: “We are proud to partner with HMG to deploy world-leading technologies for the public good.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 March 2026 – SIM Global Education (SIM GE) highlighted that while hiring practices are evolving, a university degree remains an important foundation for career success. In today’s job market, academic credentials continue to provide the knowledge base and credibility that employers expect, increasingly complemented by practical skills and industry experience. Each year, many students in Singapore explore various higher education pathways after receiving their O‑Level, A‑Level, or Polytechnic results. These options include enrolling in Autonomous Universities, studying at overseas institutions, or pursuing undergraduate programmes offered locally through private education institutions in partnership with international universities. When weighing up these choices, the key consideration is not just the origin of the degree, but whether the programme provides strong academic foundations alongside meaningful opportunities to develop relevant, industry-ready skills. A university degree continues to signal foundational knowledge and the ability to complete a rigorous course of study. In Singapore, graduate outcomes from Autonomous Universities are tracked through the Joint Autonomous Universities Graduate Employment Survey (GES). According to the 2025 GES, 83.4 percent of graduates secured employment within six months of completing their final examinations, demonstrating the continued relevance of university education in supporting employment outcomes. Graduate outcomes across the broader higher education sector are also monitored through the Private Education Institution (PEI) Graduate Employment Survey, conducted by SkillsFuture Singapore. The survey reported that 74.8 percent of PEI graduates in the labour force secured employment within six months of graduation, highlighting the employment opportunities available through diverse education pathways. At the same time, hiring practices are evolving across industries. Employers increasingly value graduates who can apply knowledge in practical contexts. Internships, industry exposure and project-based learning therefore play an important role in complementing academic credentials and strengthening graduate readiness. Singapore’s higher education ecosystem provides multiple pathways for students to pursue globally recognised degrees. Private education institutions operate under the Private Education Act and are regulated by SkillsFuture Singapore, including quality assurance frameworks such as the EduTrust Certification Scheme, which helps ensure standards across the sector. Within this ecosystem, SIM Global Education works with reputable university partners from Australia, Canada, Europe, United Kingdom, and the United States, enabling students to pursue internationally recognised degree programmes while studying in Singapore. These programmes combine academic learning with opportunities for industry exposure and career preparation. As higher education pathways continue to diversify, learners will benefit from focusing on how effectively a programme enables them to build strong academic foundation, while gaining relevant skills and practical experience. In an evolving workforce, the combination of recognised university degree and applied learning remains a key factor in preparing graduates for long-term career success.

The digital twin demonstration highlighted how innovative companies are increasingly using AI-driven modeling and simulation technologies to improve the design, monitoring, and optimization of physical infrastructure. The inclusion of Eco Wave Power’s technology in the keynote reflects the growing intersection between artificial intelligence, digital twin technologies, and next-generation renewable energy systems. As the rapid expansion of AI and high-performance computing continues to drive unprecedented global demand for electricity, advanced AI tools are also playing an increasingly important role in improving energy technologies and accelerating their path toward commercialization. Full video segment of Eco Wave Power’s technology, as seen during Jensen Huang keynote during GTC Cannot view this video? Visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GKgBM7T8u8 Data centers currently consume approximately 2-3% of global electricity, and with the continued expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure, projections suggest that this share could double or even triple by 2030, creating increased demand for diversified renewable energy sources capable of supporting the next generation of digital infrastructure. Artificial intelligence data centers require significant and continuous energy supply to power advanced computing systems, graphics processing units (GPUs), and cooling infrastructure. As AI deployment scales globally, energy providers and technology companies are increasingly exploring diversified renewable energy solutions capable of supporting the energy needs of large-scale computing infrastructure while reducing carbon emissions. Wave energy offers several characteristics that make it particularly relevant for future energy systems supporting AI infrastructure. Ocean waves provide predictable and consistent energy production, particularly in coastal regions where many major population centers, ports, and digital infrastructure hubs are located. In addition, Eco Wave Power’s technology is designed to be installed on existing marine structures such as breakwaters, piers, and ports, enabling electricity generation without seabed anchoring, offshore construction, or complex marine operations.

The growing use of artificial intelligence and digital twin technologies is transforming how energy infrastructure is designed and optimized. As AI continues to expand globally, the demand for reliable and sustainable energy sources is accelerating, and wave energy represents an important opportunity to generate clean electricity from existing coastal infrastructure.” Eco Wave Power believes that integrating wave energy into the renewable energy mix can contribute to providing stable and diversified clean energy sources capable of supporting the growing electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and large-scale data processing. The Company continues to advance wave energy projects worldwide, including operational installations and projects under development in Israel, the United States, Portugal, Taiwan, and India, supporting the global transition toward clean and sustainable energy. About Eco Wave Power Global AB (publ) Eco Wave Power Global (NASDAQ: WAVE) is a leading onshore wave energy company that converts ocean and sea waves into clean, reliable, and cost-efficient electricity using its patented and intelligent technology. By generating renewable power directly from existing coastal infrastructure such as breakwaters, jetties, and piers, Eco Wave Power enables sustainable electricity production in close proximity to coastal cities, ports, and energy-intensive infrastructure. As global electricity demand continues to rise with the growth of artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, and next-generation data centers – often referred to as “AI factories” – Eco Wave Power’s technology is designed to help provide renewable energy near shorelines where many data centers, industrial facilities, and population centers are located. With a mission to accelerate the global transition to renewable energy while supporting the next generation of digital and industrial infrastructure, Eco Wave Power developed and operates Israel’s first grid-connected wave energy power station, recognized as a “Pioneering Technology” by the Israeli Ministry of Energy and co-funded by EDF Power Solutions. In the United States, the Company recently launched the first-ever onshore wave energy pilot station at the Port of Los Angeles, in collaboration with Shell Marine Renewable Energy. Eco Wave Power is expanding globally with projects planned in Portugal, Taiwan, and India, representing a project pipeline of 404.7 MW.

(TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) (“Founders” or the “Company”) announces that it has been included in the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index (“MVGDXJ”), the underlying benchmark for the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (“GDXJ”). Separately, the Company reports the commencement of diamond drilling at Antino North on its Antino Gold Project (“Antino” or “Project”) in southeastern Suriname, with a second rig now being mobilized to the area (Figure 1). Highlights GDXJ Index Inclusion: Founders Metals added to the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index in the Q1 2026 quarterly review, triggering passive buying from index-tracking ETFs Maiden Drilling at Antino North: First diamond drill rig now turning where field work has delineated ten parallel gold-bearing structures across a 4 km area Second Rig Mobilizing: A second diamond drill rig is being mobilized to test the multi-km historical auger gold anomaly in the east of Antino North Surface Results: Previously reported channel sampling at Antino North returned 20.0 m of 2.07 g/t Au including 7.0 m of 5.05 g/t Au Auger Sampling Progress: Founders has collected over 4000 auger samples to date in 2026 Colin Padget, President & CEO, commented, “Our inclusion in the GDXJ index is a meaningful milestone for Founders and reflects the market’s growing recognition of what we are building in the Guiana Shield and brings new passive and institutional capital into the stock.” “On the ground, we are equally excited to be now drilling at Antino North. The shear zones we’ve mapped in the northwest offer numerous compelling first drill targets where this year’s surface work has returned high-grade grab and channel results in geology similar to Upper Antino. With the scale of the new Antino North targets, we are also mobilizing a second rig that will initially test the large historical auger anomaly in the east. We see Antino North as having the potential to become a second centre of gravity within our expanding gold camp.” About Founders Metals Inc.

All material information on Founders Metals can be found at www.sedarplus.ca. Quality Assurance and Control Samples were analyzed at FILAB Suriname, a Bureau Veritas Certified Laboratory in Paramaribo, Suriname (a commercial certified laboratory under ISO 9001:2015). Samples are crushed to 75% passing 2.35 mm screen, riffle split (700 g) and pulverized to 85% passing 88 µm. Samples were analyzed using a 50 g fire assay (50 g aliquot) with an Atomic Absorption (AA) finish. For samples that return assay values over 5.0 grams per tonne (g/t), another cut was taken from the original pulp and fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Founders Metals inserts blanks and certified reference standards in the sample sequence for quality control. External QA-QC checks are performed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Lima, Peru (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility). A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. Drill intervals with visible gold are assayed using metallic screening. Rock chip samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.
