HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 August 2025 – While retail investors worldwide grapple with ineffective strategies, lagging copy trades, and opaque black-box risks, a new force in AI quantitative technology from Hong Kong is rewriting the rules of the game. Local fintech innovator Algo Forest Group, alongside its educational brand Forex Forest, recently made a landmark appearance at the world-renowned GITEX Global technology exhibition, backed by support from the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC) and other institutions. The group unveiled the revolutionary concept for its “AI Signals Page,” a platform designed to dismantle decades-old investment models and solve the most pressing pain points for individual investors globally. This international debut was further highlighted by a prestigious invitation for a deep-dive discussion with the UAE’s Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) to explore the future of Web3 and AI in fintech. Having already secured the “Global Best Trading Algorithm Award” for six consecutive years for its proprietary quantitative trading systems, this moment firmly establishes Algo Forest Group as a prime example of Hong Kong’s innovation successfully “going global.” This milestone is part of Algo Forest Group’s broader mission to fill a critical market gap. The “AI Signals Page” is being developed to create a more transparent, efficient, and collaborative international investment community. Its core advantages include: Real-time AI Analysis of Personal Trading Accounts: Investors can directly connect their personal trading accounts, seamlessly syncing data to the platform. This provides users with personalized portfolio performance analysis, P&L tracking, and deep insights into their trading habits, enabling them to better understand and leverage the power of AI to optimize their existing strategies. AI-Driven Insights and Proactive Risk Management: The platform harnesses advanced AI algorithms to deliver diverse market data, identify potential trading signals, and provide in-depth analysis. Simultaneously, multi-dimensional risk assessment tools help users identify and manage potential exposures, fostering more robust trading strategies. A Global Community for Collaborative Strategy Sharing: A highly interactive, built-in community function allows investors from around the world to share, discover, and discuss the latest global trading strategies without geographical or linguistic barriers. It transforms trading from a solo pursuit into a collective journey of learning and growth. “We founded Algo Forest Group to break down the formidable technological barrier between institutional and retail investors,” explains Wayne Ng, Founder and CEO of Algo Forest Group. “The enthusiastic reception of our AI technology at GITEX and our dialogue with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office are powerful validations of the market’s need for Hong Kong’s tech expertise. The ‘AI Signals Page‘ is the tangible manifestation of our vision to democratize professional-grade trading tools, opening the door to AI trading technology for everyone.” Ng adds, “We’re not here to replace the trader; we’re here to empower them. By revolutionizing their access to superior risk management and decision-making capabilities, we can ensure that the benefits of fintech truly reach the public. We are not just representing our company, but also the innovative spirit of our nation and Hong Kong. The government’s backing has been a critical catalyst in our mission to ‘go global,’ and the interest from entities like ADIO proves that Hong Kong’s AI fintech has immense potential to compete and lead on the world stage.” Within Algo Forest Group’s grand vision, its renowned educational brand, Forex Forest, plays a pivotal, symbiotic role. While the “AI Signals Page” provides traders with advanced tools, Forex Forest teaches them how to apply them with precision and discipline. Leveraging its deep expertise in AI algorithmic programming and quantitative strategies, Forex Forest equips users with the essential knowledge and skills to maximize the platform’s potential, embodying the principle of “Empowerment Through Technology, Guided by Education.” Forex Forest stands as Asia’s No. 1 brand specializing in the development and education of enterprise-grade AI quantitative trading programs. It is dedicated to promoting the concept of “passive income investing” to the general public and was a trailblazer in Hong Kong as the first enterprise to offer comprehensive automated trading courses, earning recognition from international professionals. The excellence of its technology is underscored by numerous accolades since its founding in 2017. The brand holds 12 patents and dual ISO certifications. A testament to its sustained innovation, it has won the “Global Best Quantitative Trading Award” for six consecutive years since its first international win in 2020. This track record reflects the brand’s commitment to sustainable development based on international standards and its intent for active global expansion. To date, Forex Forest has conducted over 50 course intakes, benefiting more than 26,000 students. Upholding its mission to “Strive for financial freedom for all,” many of its alumni have successfully used its quantitative trading tools to achieve this goal in the market.

The group plans to continue its expansion into new countries, committed to helping investors globally achieve financial freedom. This global layout is strongly supported by the Hong Kong SAR Government, which provides critical backing for high-potential local AI technology enterprises to expand into overseas markets. Aligning with this, Algo Forest Group is actively exploring strategic opportunities in Abu Dhabi, a key development city in the “Belt and Road Initiative,” leveraging policies that facilitate and support cooperation between multinational enterprises. Leading his elite team at the GITEX technology exhibition in Dubai, Founder and CEO Wayne Ng showcased the company’s proprietary and forward-thinking AI-powered quantitative trading strategies (Expert Advisors).

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 August 2025 – The year 2025 marks the 40th anniversary of China’s accession to the World Heritage Convention, a milestone that highlights the country’s commitment to preserving its cultural and natural treasures. Among these jewels, the Hani Terraced Fields in Yuanyang County of Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China’s Yunnan Province, stand as a breathtaking testament to the harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature. Nestled on mountain slopes with the gradient ranging from 15 to 75 degrees, the terraces cascade in stunning layers and can include as many as 3,000 steps. Over a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Hani people migrated from the north to a valley in southern China. Despite the challenging natural environment, they made the most of the mountains and waters. The Hani people cultivated over 1 million mu (approximately 66,666.67 hectares) of rice terraces, some situated at elevations exceeding 2,000 meters, according to Ma Chongwei, a professor of Yunnan University. No matter how high the mountain, water finds its way. The Hani people constructed thousands of channels to divert streams. These channels wind through villages and terraced fields before merging with rivers in the valleys. Channel maintainers oversee the water channels, keeping them clean and ensuring proper flow. For over a thousand years, the Hani people have used water allocation tools to distribute water into a network of irrigation channels and ditches, showcasing their farming wisdom. Throughout the long agrarian era, the Hani people transformed mountains and rivers, sharing this landscape with the Yi, Dai and other Chinese ethnic groups living downhill. Deeply integrated into the ethnic culture, the terraces have now become the eternal spiritual homeland of the Hani people. In the terraces lies a harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature, the agrarian wisdom attuned to natural rhythms and an enduring spirit of perseverance.

In New York State alone, more than 200 elderly homes use its temi robots to assist doctors in completing remote diagnoses within two minutes — significantly reducing insurance costs and improving medical coverage rates. Moreover, approximately 50 four-star and five-star hotels, 1,300 universities, secondary and primary schools, over one hundred smart buildings and shopping malls and 2,000 system integrators with development capabilities in the world are using Robocore’s products. With FTC’s strategic and manufacturing support, Robocore is expected to achieve three-fold revenue growth over the next three years and aims for a five-fold increase by 2028. The company’s growth will be primarily driven by accelerated expansion in the US, Europe, and Asia. Robocore plans to initiate its IPO process within five years, aiming to become one of the world’s fastest-growing service robotic enterprises. Proceeds from this funding round will be mainly used to strengthen Robocore’s telemedicine business in the US, Europe and Japan, launch new products for mainland China’s consumer market, and expand global sales and marketing operations. These initiatives aim to further consolidate its industry leadership position while preparing for a pre-2030 IPO.
