HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 April 2025 – ​Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion at Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) Mr Charles Ng will commence his duty visit to the Middle East from today (April 6) to April 10, with key engagements in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The visit underscores Hong Kong’s commitment to deepening economic ties with these dynamic markets and promoting the city as a premier gateway for Middle Eastern businesses seeking opportunities on the Mainland and in the broader Asia-Pacific region.

Hong Kong has a strong, long-standing and ever-growing relationship with the Gulf region including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, marked by increasing co-operation in finance, trade, and investment. The city’s merchandise trade with the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf reached US$21.6 billion in 2023. These partnerships are further strengthened through initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative, which fosters greater connectivity and economic opportunities.

“Amid an increasingly complex global landscape and geopolitical uncertainties, countries in the Middle East are actively diversifying their investments. Hong Kong, as a global financial centre and a ‘super connector’ between the Mainland, Asia, and the rest of the world, is uniquely positioned to support this shift,” said Mr Ng. “Under the ‘one country, two systems’ principle, our city offers a robust legal system, free flow of capital and information, and internationally aligned regulations. Beyond finance, Hong Kong is also a hub for trade, logistics, innovation and professional services. It serves as a gateway for Middle Eastern partners to tap into the Mainland and the broader Asia-Pacific region.”

As part of its commitment to financial diversification, the city has developed a supportive platform for Islamic finance, including sukuk issuance and tax law amendments to ensure a level playing field with conventional bonds and the successful launch of three government sukuk. It continues to welcome more Islamic financial institutions and products to leverage Hong Kong’s international financial platform and tap into opportunities across Asia and the Mainland.

During his visit to Riyadh, Jeddah and Dubai, Mr Ng will participate in numerous high-level business roundtables co-organised with Asia House, bringing together representatives from prominent businesses, family offices, and investors. He will also meet with representatives from leading Middle Eastern companies and discuss how establishing a presence in Hong Kong can drive their global expansion strategies.

These engagements aim to strengthen economic ties, foster collaboration, and attract more businesses from the Middle East to invest and expand through Hong Kong. By leveraging Hong Kong’s unique position as a global financial and multinational supply chain management hub, InvestHK seeks to facilitate mutually beneficial partnerships that drive innovation and growth across regions.

Bitget Secures El Salvador Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) License After BSP Approval

Bitget Secures El Salvador Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) License After BSP Approval

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has obtained the Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) license from El Salvador’s National Commission of Digital Assets (CNAD), expanding its regulatory framework within the country. This development comes after the earlier acquisition of the Bitcoin Services Provider (BSP) license in 2024. El Salvador is one of the pioneering jurisdictions passing comprehensive legislation supporting the integration of Bitcoin and digital assets into its financial ecosystem and acting as its official currency. It has started to emerge as a hub for global crypto businesses.

With both the DASP and BSP licenses in place, Bitget gains the ability to offer a broad range of digital asset services within El Salvador. The DASP license covers operations such as spot and derivatives trading, staking, and other yield-based financial products alongside infrastructure that facilitates access to crypto-powered savings and investment solutions. Regulatory clarity in the region enables global platforms to expand under a well-defined legal structure, offering users a higher degree of operational transparency and institutional-grade safeguards.

“Our focus at Bitget is to enter countries with a regulated framework for crypto and provide our best services as we expand on our global regulatory strategy,” said Hon Ng, Chief Legal Officer at Bitget. “We are thrilled to be able to offer an array of products through this license, and we are honored by the trust of El Salvador’s National Commission of Digital Assets. El Salvador has been ahead of many with its progressive and transparent approach to Bitcoin and digital asset regulation, making it an attractive jurisdiction for good quality Web3 companies aiming to operate responsibly at scale. Bitget will continue to support jurisdictions that offer clear frameworks and support the development of a secure, efficient crypto economy.”

El Salvador’s regulatory environment has gained attention for attracting global crypto firms. Popular crypto entities have already relocated strategic operations to the country. Bitget’s licensing strategy aligns with this emerging shift and enables the platform to deliver its services without any disruption. This structure allows the platform to meet demand across both retail and institutional markets with greater legal and operational agility.

The development reflects ongoing trends in jurisdictional competition among nations seeking to attract digital asset innovation. El Salvador’s CNAD has become increasingly active in evaluating and approving service providers, signaling broader regulatory maturity in the region. As firms navigate evolving global standards, Bitget’s licenses provide a bridge for cross-border growth and the ability to offer compliant financial products to its users worldwide.

1000 Miglia 2024

1000 Miglia 2024

BRESCIA, Italy, April 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The wait is over: the list of cars that will participate in the 1000 Miglia 2025 has been drawn up by the Selection Committee that, year after year, has the task of choosing the cars that will take part in the “most unique travelling museum in the world”, as Enzo Ferrari defined it.

The over 400 crews selected will be from 29 countries: Italy is the most represented country, closely followed by Netherlands, Great Britain and the United States. As for the cars, 127 pre-war models will take part in the 43rd re-enactment of the Red Arrow. 78, on the other hand, are those that raced in the historic speed competition between 1927 and 1957.

In the exclusive parterre of cars, together with the prestigious collections of Ferrari (17), Bugatti (10) and Bentley (8), there are an impressive 18 pre-war Alfa Romeos. Not to be missed is a unique specimen such as the Biondetti Ferrari-Jaguar Special. On the subject of models, an Aston Martin DB 3 and two fascinating Porsche 550 Spyder RS deserve a special mention.

Awaiting the drivers of the next edition of the Most Beautiful Race in the World, scheduled from Tuesday 17 to Saturday 21 June, is a route of about 1900 kilometres divided into 5 days of competition, along an “figure-or-eight” route inspired by the first 12 editions of the 1000 Miglia speed race. The cities on the route are San Lazzaro di Savena, Rome, Cervia-Milano Marittima and Parma.

Andrea Vesco and Fabio Salvinelli, in pursuit of their fifth consecutive victory at the wheel of the splendid Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS Zagato from 1929, will have to watch their backs against expert crews such as Fontanella-Covelli, Aliverti-Polini, Turelli, Tonconogy-Ruffini and Erejomovich-Llnanos, just to name a few. Among the famous faces this year will be Joe Bastianich and Carlo Cracco, who for the occasion will be competing far from the kitchen: one at the wheel of a 1954 Porsche 356 1000 Speedster, the other as navigator in a 1927 Bugatti T40.

As per the regulations, each car participating in the race must have been previously certified by the Registro 1000 Miglia in order to guarantee its authenticity, as well as a standard of excellence worthy of the Most Beautiful Race in the World.

Flight path of a Cape griffon

IdentiFlight system captures images of a Cape Griffon’s flight path in South Africa.

LOUISVILLE, Colo., April 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Boulder Imaging has announced a partnership with Roc Conservation Tech to expand IdentiFlight’s global reach and enhance wildlife conservation within the wind energy sector. With a shared commitment to bridging technology and environmental stewardship, Roc Conservation Tech will play a pivotal role in growing IdentiFlight’s presence and impact in South Africa’s renewable energy industry.

Dirk van der Walt, Founder of Roc Conservation Tech

On the brink of a renewable energy revolution in South Africa, Roc Conservation Tech is uniquely positioned to assist as the country enters this transformational era by specializing in leveraging data science and engineering for conservation, with expertise in bird detection systems, conservation drones and environmental monitoring. The collaboration between the two companies will promote the IdentiFlight mission to help mitigate the cumulative impacts of wind energy on biodiversity. The IdentiFlight system operates with 99 percent accuracy and reduces bird fatalities in wind farms by more than 85 percent in 12 countries across five continents.

“The need for sustainable energy solutions comes with the responsibility to protect biodiversity,” said Dirk van der Walt, founder of Roc Conservation Tech. “South Africa’s wind energy sector is rapidly growing, yet it is home to diverse and vulnerable bird populations that require advanced conservation measures. Partnering with IdentiFlight to deploy these systems in South African wind farms will help ensure that renewable energy expansion in the region is both responsible and sustainable.”

“Strong partnerships are essential to Boulder Imaging’s mission and IdentiFlight’s continued growth,” said Don Mills, president and chief operating officer of Boulder Imaging. “By collaborating with Roc Conservation Tech, we are bringing a wealth of local expertise and resources to the South African market, enhancing our ability to efficiently and responsively serve our customers.”

Developed by Boulder Imaging, IdentiFlight is a state-of-the-art bird detection and informed curtailment system designed to mitigate the impact of wind energy projects on bird populations. Using advanced artificial intelligence and optical sensor technology, IdentiFlight detects, classifies and quantifies risks to sensitive bird species such as the Cape vulture, martial eagle, Verreaux’s eagle and blue crane. If collision risk meets a predetermined threshold, IdentiFlight provides temporary shut down on demand to impacted wind turbines – optimizing energy production while minimizing environmental impact.

The first South African IdentiFlight station was installed in June 2024. This system has already been trained to detect and classify more than 20 unique species with over 98 percent accuracy, including the Cape vulture, African marsh harrier and African fish eagle.
