La Tablée des Chefs du Canada remporte le prix F1® Allwyn Global Community Award et reçoit €100,000 pour lutter contre insécurité alimentaire

MONTRÉAL, 21 mai 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — La Tablée des Chefs a été nommée la gagnante du prix 2026 F1® Allwyn Global Community Award, au FORMULA 1® LENOVO GRAND PRIX DU CANADA. L’organisme a reçu un don de 100 000 € de la part d’Allwyn, la société de divertissement axée sur les loteries, afin de poursuivre sa mission de venir en aide aux familles vulnérables en situation d’insécurité alimentaire à Montréal et à travers le Canada.

Cette organisation est la premiére lauréate du programme 2026 du F1® Allwyn Global Community Award. Après une première année couronnée de succès, le prix met à l'honneur encore plus d'initiatives à l'échelle mondiale : cette année, il récompensera jusqu'à huit organisations non gouvernementales dans les villes accueillant les Grands Prix, en s'appuyant sur les sites participants de l'année dernière (Pays-Bas, Mexique, Austin et Las Vegas).

Plus tard dans la saison, les supporteurs du Formula 1® auront l’ocassion de voter pour leurs initiatives préférées, un élément clé de la stratégie d’Allwyn visant à rapprocher ces supporteurs au programme. Les votants pourront constater l’impact des initiatives gagnantes et exprimer leur soutien, tout en découvrant le travail extraordinaire des ONGs et la manière dont elles soutiennet les communautés locales.

La redistribution de repas cuisinés aux personnes dans le besoin est une priorité pour La Tablée des Chefs. L'organisme lutte contre l'insécurité alimentaire à Montréal et partout au Canada en mettant en lien les donateurs de surplus alimentaires avec des organismes communautaires locaux qui distribuent des repas aux individus et familles, et en proposant des programmes éducatifs visant à favoriser l'autonomie alimentaire chez les jeunes.

L’organisme collabore étroitement avec le FORMULA 1® LENOVO GRAND PRIX DU CANADA sur la récupération alimentaire depuis plusieurs années. Ce don lui permettra de récupérer encore plus de nourriture lors d'autres événements estivaux de grande envergure, de travailler avec 400 donateurs de surplus alimentaires supplémentaires, ainsi que d'inciter d'autres secteurs à adopter des pratiques durables en matière de récupération alimentaire. Au final, cette subvention permettra à La Tablée des Chefs d’augmenter considérablement ses efforts pour nourrir les familles dans le besoin et récupérer des millions de repas qui, autrement, auraient été gaspillés.

L’impact concret et la capacité de mise à l’échelle de La Tablée des Chefs ont convaincu les juges de lui attribuer le titre de lauréate. De plus, sa mission s’inscrivait parfaitement dans les grands axes du prix : durabilité et innovation, santé et bien-être, éducation et opportunités, ainsi qu’autonomisation et inclusion.

En plus de la subvention de 100 000 €, chaque gagnant se verra remettre un tout nouveau trophée. Conçu par Jan Plecháč, directeur artistique de la cristallerie tchèque Moser, de renommée mondiale, l’élément central représente les fondations solides d’Allwyn, tandis que les sphères suspendues symbolisent les lauréats. Fabriqué à la main et spécialement créé pour chaque gagnant, le trophée met en valeur la précision et le savoir-faire artistique qui caractérisent la tradition verrière de Moser, reconnue par l'UNESCO.

Pavel Turek, directeur des partenariats mondiaux chez Allwyn et membre du jury du prix F1® Allwyn Global Community Award, a déclaré : « Chez Allwyn, nous croyons que le sport peut changer le monde pour le mieux. A travers nos marchés, nous mettons l’accent sur des programmes menés localement qui apportent des changements significatifs. Ainsi, l’engagement de La Tablée des Chefs à créer un impact réel, son potentiel d’expansion et son alignement clair avec les valeurs d’Allwyn en ont fait le choix incontestable pour notre prix F1® Allwyn Global Community Award. Nous sommes ravis de soutenir cet organisme grâce à un don de 100 000 €, et nous avons hâte de voir son influence s’étendre à l’échelle internationale et son rayonnement s’approfondir au sein de la communauté montréalaise. »

Ellen Jones, responsable ESG chez Formula 1® et membre du jury du Prix F1® Allwyn Global Community, a déclaré : « L’héritage de La Tablée des Chefs et sa relation de longue date avec le FORMULA 1® LENOVO GRAND PRIX DU CANADA se sont démarqués et correspondent parfaitement aux principes fondamentaux du Prix, tout comme l’incroyable travail qu’elle accomplit au profit des communautés locales. L'organisme a su faire preuve d'une véritable innovation dans la manière dont il initie déjà le changement et dans son ambition de croître, un principe fondamental de notre philosophie quant à notre approche du sport et des initiatives ESG plus larges visant à avoir un impact significatif. »

Jean-François Archambault, lauréat du prix F1® Allwyn Global Community Award et Fondateur et Directeur Général de La Tablée des Chefs, a déclaré : « Nous sommes profondément honorés d’avoir été désignés lauréats du prix F1® Allwyn Global Community Award. Cette reconnaissance de la part de la Formule 1, associée au généreux don de 100 000 € d’Allwyn, va transformer La Tablée des Chefs, nous permettant d’étendre considérablement notre travail en récupération alimentaire et en éducation. Fiers de collaborer avec la Formule 1® depuis plusieurs années, nous sommes plus déterminés que jamais à accroître la distribution de repas de qualité aux personnes en situation d’insécurité alimentaire à Montréal – en continuant à redistribuer la nourriture dans le respect de la dignité, tout en aidant les organismes à réduire leurs coûts alimentaires et à réinvestir dans des services de soutien qui aident les gens à sortir de la pauvreté. »

Canada’s La Tablée des Chefs Wins F1® Allwyn Global Community Award and Receives €100,000 to Fight Food Insecurity

MONTREAL, May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — La Tablée des Chefs has been named the first winner of the 2026 F1® Allwyn Global Community Award, at the FORMULA 1® LENOVO GRAND PRIX DU CANADA. The charity has been awarded a €100,000 donation from Allwyn, the lottery-led entertainment company, to further its mission to provide for vulnerable families facing food insecurity in Montreal and across Canada.

The charity is the first winner of the F1® Allwyn Global Community Award 2026 programme. After a successful first year, the Award is shining a global spotlight on even more initiatives – this time recognising up to eight NGOs across the Grand Prix race locations, building on the locations involved last year (Netherlands, Mexico, Austin and Las Vegas).

Later in the season, Formula 1® fans will have the chance to cast their vote on their favourite initiatives, as part of Allwyn’s plan to bring these fans closer to the programme. Voters will be able to recognise the impact of the winning initiatives and express their support as they learn more about the NGOs’ incredible work and how they’re supporting local communities.

Redistributing high-quality, nutritious meals to those in need is a priority for La Tablée des Chefs. It addresses food insecurity in Montreal and across Canada by connecting surplus food donors with local community organisations that distribute meals to individuals and families, and through offering educational programs to promote food autonomy for youth.

The organisation has worked closely with the FORMULA 1® LENOVO GRAND PRIX DU CANADA on food recovery for a number of years. This donation will boost its ability to recover even more food from other large-scale summer events, work with an additional 400 food recovery donors, as well as inspiring other industries to engage in sustainable food recovery practices. Ultimately, the grant will allow La Tablée des Chefs to significantly increase its efforts to feed families in need and rescue millions of meals from being wasted this year.

The judges saw La Tablée des Chefs’ demonstrable impact and scalability deserving of the winning title, and its mission perfectly aligned to the key pillars of the Award – Sustainability and Innovation, Health and Wellbeing, Education and Opportunity, and Empowerment and Inclusion.

In addition to the €100,000 grant, each winner will be presented with a brand new trophy. Designed by Jan Plecháč, creative director of the world-renowned Czech glassworks, Moser, the central element represents Allwyn’s stable foundation with the suspended spheres symbolising the successful recipients. Handcrafted and specially created for each winner, the trophy showcases the precision and artistry which define Moser’s UNESCO-recognised glassmaking tradition.

Pavel Turek, Chief Officer Global Partnerships, at Allwyn and F1® Allwyn Global Community Award judge, said: “At Allwyn, we believe sport can change the world for the better. Across our markets, we focus on locally-led programmes that deliver meaningful change. So, La Tablée des Chefs’ dedication to creating real impact, its potential to scale, and its clear alignment to Allwyn's values made it the definitive choice for our F1® Allwyn Global Community Award. We are thrilled to support the charity through the €100,000 donation, and we look forward to seeing its influence expand internationally and its reach deepen within the Montreal community.”

Ellen Jones, Head of ESG at Formula 1® and F1® Allwyn Global Community Award judge, said: “The legacy of La Tablée des Chefs and its longstanding relationship with the FORMULA 1® LENOVO GRAND PRIX DU CANADA stood out and truly resonates with the pillars of the Award, along with the incredible work it does for local communities. The charity was able to demonstrate genuine innovation in how it is already creating change and its ambition to grow, a core tenet in our philosophy in how we approach the sport and wider ESG initiatives to deliver meaningful impact.”

F1® Allwyn Global Community Award winner, and Founder and CEO of La Tablée des Chefs, Jean-François Archambault, said: “We are profoundly honoured to be named the winner of the F1® Allwyn Global Community Award. This recognition from Formula 1, coupled with the generous €100,000 donation from Allwyn, is transformative for La Tablée des Chefs, allowing us to significantly expand our work in food recovery and education. Having proudly worked with Formula 1® for a number of years, we are more dedicated than ever to increasing the distribution of high-quality meals to those experiencing food insecurity across Montreal – continuing to redistribute food with dignity while helping organisations reduce food costs and reinvest in support services that help people move out of poverty.”

Installation of Acrow Bridges Throughout Angola is Underway

PARSIPPANY, N.J., May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Acrow, a leading international bridge design and engineering firm, today announced that the first of 186 bridges it is providing to the Republic of Angola through a financed Bridge Development Program was officially inaugurated at a ceremony in Luanda on 8 May. The large-scale initiative will support the Government of Angola’s efforts to modernize the country’s road and transportation infrastructure, improving mobility, expanding rural connectivity and accelerating economic development.

The initial bridge installation is a two-lane structure with a total length of 134.11 meters (440’) and featuring an external footwalk. Installed in partnership with Conduril – Engenharia, S.A., the bridge spans the Mulenvos River and will serve to connect the densely populated municipalities of Cacuaco and Mulenvos in Luanda. Further structures to be delivered through the project duration include single- and multi-span configurations of varying lengths in one- and two-lane widths. The bridges will be installed by Angolan engineers, technicians and contractors who will be trained by Acrow in the assembly, installation and maintenance of the bridges.

Since its founding in 1951, Acrow has delivered sustainable infrastructure solutions into more than 150 countries worldwide. Since the 1990s, the company has supplied over 2,000 bridges to more than 40 nations across Africa, including large-scale Bridge Development Programs in Ghana, Cameroon and Zambia. Through this model, Acrow leverages a global network of financial institutions and capital providers to help arrange funding for qualified bridge projects, including export credit guarantees and other development finance solutions.

Designed for long-term performance in demanding environments, Acrow’s durable modular bridges are particularly effective for secondary and rural road networks, in addition to heavily-trafficked urban areas. Manufactured to rigorous international quality standards, the structures can be customized to meet specific site conditions, transported efficiently to even the most remote locations, and assembled in a matter of days or weeks using local labor and limited heavy equipment.

“We are proud to partner with the government of Angola as part of this major investment in Angola’s road and transportation infrastructure. Acrow’s financed bridge development programs help African leaders and policymakers address critical infrastructure and funding gaps that impede long-term economic growth,” said Paul Sullivan, President – International Business at Acrow Bridge. “With decades of experience in Africa, we remain committed to delivering reliable, sustainable infrastructure solutions that improve connectivity, strengthen transportation networks, and contribute to economic opportunity.”

Added Bill Killeen, CEO of The Acrow Group, “At Acrow, we believe in the transformative power of a bridge to bring people and communities together. Our vision is that this project will leave a lasting legacy of connectivity which will positively impact the lives of the people of Angola for generations to come.”

The project in Angola is being financed through the support of loan guarantees issued by the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM), the nation’s official export credit agency. This project has also received international recognition as the recipient of EXIM’s inaugural Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment Deal of the Year Award. The Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment is a shared G7 commitment to advance public and private investments in sustainable, inclusive, resilient and quality infrastructure in partner countries.

Hanmi Pharmaceutical تتعاون مع Organon لتصدير علاجات مركبة إلى جنوب شرق آسيا

Shin Hae-gon (إلى اليمين)، مدير المبيعات الدولية في شركة Hanmi Pharmaceutical، وAndreas Daugaard Jørgensen (إلى اليسار)، المدير الإداري لمجموعة Organon في آسيا والمحيط الهادئ، التقيا في مكتب Organon في ماليزيا لبحث توسيع انتشار العلاجات المركبة التي تنتجها Hanmi في أسواق منطقة جنوب شرق آسيا.

سيول، كوريا الجنوبية،, May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  أعلنت شركة Hanmi Pharmaceutical عن توقيع اتفاقية توريد مع شركة الرعاية الصحية العالمية Organon لتصدير ثلاثة أدوية مركّبة إلى أسواق ماليزيا والفلبين، في إطار الجهود الرامية إلى توسيع من نطاق الشراكة بين الشركتين في منطقة جنوب شرق آسيا.

وبموجب الاتفاقية، ستقوم Hanmi بتوريد ثلاثة أدوية مركّبة جاهزة مخصّصة لعلاج أمراض القلب والجهاز التنفسي، على أن تتولى Organon مسؤولية عمليات التسويق والتوزيع والمبيعات في الأسواق المحلية. كما تخطط الشركتان للمضي قدماً في الحصول على الموافقات التنظيمية وإطلاق المنتجات بشكل تدريجي في ماليزيا والفلبين، مع إمكانية توسيع نطاق تعاونهما على المدى المتوسط والطويل.

هذا وتُعد Organon، التي تأسست عام 2021، شركة عالمية متخصصة في الرعاية الصحية، وتمتلك محفظة تضم أكثر من 70 منتجاً تغطي مجموعة واسعة من المجالات العلاجية. وبفضل قدراتها التجارية المتقدمة وشبكة التصنيع الموثوقة التي تملكها، تتيح الشركة وصول هذه الأدوية والأجهزة الطبية الحيوية إلى المرضى في أكثر من 140 سوقاً حول العالم، بما في ذلك أسواق جنوب شرق آسيا.

وقد سبق لشركة Hanmi Pharmaceutical أن عززت حضورها العالمي من خلال إبرام شراكات مع شركات دوائية متعددة الجنسيات. ويستند الاتفاق الحالي مع Organon إلى خبرةHanmi في التعاونات الدولية، ومن المتوقع أن يدعم خطط الشركة للتوسع التجاري في أسواق جنوب شرق آسيا.

تُعد منطقة جنوب شرق آسيا واحدة من أسرع أسواق الأدوية نمواً في العالم، مدفوعة بزيادة عدد السكان وارتفاع وتيرة انتشار الأمراض المزمنة. وعلى وجه الخصوص، يشهد الطلب على العلاجات المركبة ارتفاعاً ملحوظاً، مع تزايد أعداد المرضى المصابين بحالات مرضية مزمنة مثل ارتفاع ضغط الدم.

وفي هذا السياق، قال Mazen Altaruti، رئيس قسم الأسواق الناشئة في شركة Organon: “تلتزم Organon بتوفير الأدوية التي تلبي أبرز الاحتياجات الصحية في المجتمعات التي نخدمها. إن هذه الشراكة معHanmi تعكس تركيزنا المشترك على توسيع نطاق وصول المرضى إلى الخيارات العلاجية في ماليزيا والفلبين، وتعزيز فرص الوصول العادل إلى الرعاية الصحية في مختلف أنحاء المنطقة“.

من جانبه، قال Sean Hwang، الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة Hanmi Pharmaceutical: “ستواصلHanmi تسريع وتيرة توسّعها العالمي من خلال محفظتها المتنوعة من العلاجات المركّبة، التي تُعد إحدى نقاط القوة الأساسية للشركة. ومن خلال تعاوننا مع Organon، نهدف إلى تحسين الوصول إلى العلاج لخدمة المرضى في منطقة جنوب شرق آسيا”.

UN General Assembly Votes for Resolution on ICJ Advisory Ruling on Climate Obligations

By Naureen Hossain
UNITED NATIONS, May 21 2026 – Member states this week (May 20) deliberated over a draft resolution on states’ obligations in respect of climate change following the advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The General Assembly agreed to take measures to uphold the ICJ’s advisory opinion for member states to meet their existing obligations to climate justice under international law and multilateral frameworks.

The draft resolution (A/80/L.65) passed with 141 votes in favor, 8 votes against, and 28 abstentions. It was brought forward by the Republic of Vanuatu, along with the Core Group of States leading the UN General Assembly resolution responding to the ICJ advisory opinion. The resolution was introduced after a long period of consultations between member states. It outlines member states’ obligations to ensure the protection of the climate system by calling for multilateral cooperation to address what the ICJ has called an “existential problem of planetary proportions that imperils all forms of life and the very health of our planet.”

“This day will be remembered. It will be remembered as the moment the United Nations received the considered judgment of its highest court of its defining challenge of our time and decided what to do with it. Vanuatu and the Core Group believe this Assembly should meet that moment with unity, with seriousness, and with respect for the law and one another,” said Odo Tevi, Permanent Representative of Vanuatu to the UN.

When introducing the draft resolution to the Assembly, Tevi remarked that the ICJ opinion “confirms that the protection of the climate system is a matter of legal obligation, not political discretion.” It would not replace or challenge existing agreements such as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Kyoto Protocol or the Paris Agreement, but rather reinforce them as the primary legislations and forums for the world’s response to climate change.

Amendments to the resolution were brought forward by a small group of member states, which included Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Algeria. Those that argued for the amendments posited that the current resolution required further legal clarity, particularly as it related to the measures required to support developing countries in mitigation and adaptation. At the same time, there were concerns that the amendments weakened the language around the actions and responsibilities of member states, and tabling them so late into the provision would risk undermining the careful negotiations. Ultimately though, the amendments did not pass and the resolution was adopted without them.

In their remarks following the vote, member states welcomed the adoption of the resolution in light of recognizing climate change as a defining existential issue of the modern age, commending Vanuatu for its leadership in pushing for the resolution.

Speaking on behalf of the Pacific Small-Island Developing States (SIDS), Filipo Tarakinikini, Permanent Representative of Fiji to the UN, welcomed the resolution, remarking that it was an “affirmation of survival” for island nations that have been uniquely threatened by climate change, experiencing lasting damages to their homes and their connection to heritage.

“We do not come to this hall asking for mercy. We come demanding justice. Justice that is today grounded in the authoritative voice of the world’s highest court. The Pacific will not disappear, and neither will our resolve,” said Tarakinikini.

Jérôme Bonnafont, Permanent Representative of France, said that this General Assembly decision was welcome in light of an “international context marred by many crises.”

“[France] will continue to defend ambitious climate action, multilateralism, respect for international law, and a science-based approach for sustainable development and for future generations,” Bonnafont said.

James Larsen, Permanent Representative of Australia, hoped that this resolution would “galvanize practical efforts” to protect the climate system and that the case for multilateralism has “never been stronger.” With Australia set to host COP31 later this year, Larsen remarked his country would continue working together with member states to accelerate climate action.

Among those that abstained from voting or were against the resolution are states accused of being major carbon emitters, including G77 members like India and Saudi Arabia. Both the United States of America and the Russian Federation voted against the resolution.

Prior to the vote, the United States expressed that their opposition was based on their “serious legal and policy concerns” about the resolution. The U.S. delegate noted that the resolution called for states to fulfill alleged obligations based on a non-binding ruling from the ICJ, and opposed the resolution’s “inappropriate political demands” to address climate issues.

The Russian Federation’s delegate argued after that member states’ climate obligations, such as the 1.5 degree Celsius threshold, were more of a political obligation rather than normative and that the resolution was an effort to circumvent existing climate agreements.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres welcomed the adoption of the resolution, commending the leadership of Pacific Island countries, SIDs and the students and activists whose “moral clarity helped bring the world to this moment.”

“The world’s highest court has spoken. Today, the General Assembly has answered,” said Guterres. “This is a powerful affirmation of international law, climate justice, science, and the responsibility of states to protect people from the escalating climate crisis… Those least responsible for climate change are paying the highest price. That injustice must end.”

Reacting to the debate, Yamide Dagnet, NRDC’s Senior Vice President, International, said, “Climate justice prevails! The world sent a loud signal that multilateralism and science matter and can deliver for the people and the planet.”

While congratulating the Small Island States, the youths and frontline communities who refused to stand down for their energy, tenacity and leadership, she noted,  “There will be a lot of noise about the difficulty in enforcing this resolution, but the reality is that it represents a watershed moment for polluter accountability. Moving forward, regulators and courts have an additional tool in their arsenal to force nations and companies to look at how they can put people over pollution and better protect the world’s most impacted communities and countries with dignity.”

The Prime Minister of the Republic of Vanuatu, Jotham Napat, said the country expressed profound gratitude to 141 Member States that voted in favor of the UNGA resolution welcoming the Advisory Opinion of the ICJ on climate change and to the 90 States that stood together as co-sponsors of this historic initiative.

“This outcome is a powerful affirmation that the international community remains committed to the rule of law, multilateral cooperation, and climate justice at a time when these principles are being tested,” Napat said while acknowledging that the resolution was the first step in a new journey.

Bitget Kicks Off Second Year Supporting UNICEF's Game Changers Coalition, Backing Expansion into Financial Literacy and AI

VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), announced today the start of its second-year partnership in support of the UNICEF Game Changers Coalition (GCC). The coalition, which has reached over 642,000 young people, parents, and teachers across eight countries since launch, is entering a new phase of growth — introducing financial literacy and AI modules into its curriculum, with blockchain content planned for 2026.

GCC is a global initiative led by UNICEF’s Office of Innovation, bringing together public and private sector partners to broaden access to technology education for young people in emerging economies, with a particular focus on girls, who make up 52% of participants to date. Operating across Armenia, Brazil, Cambodia, India, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Morocco, and South Africa, the coalition supports young people to build practical digital skills through an innovative curriculum, community-based learning programmes, and in-person and online game hackathons.

Bitget joined the coalition in June 2025 through its partnership with UNICEF Luxembourg, contributing to the coalition’s broader mission of improving digital literacy and technology access for underserved communities. In its second year, Bitget will contribute to GCC’s curriculum growth and geographic expansion.

In the first year of the partnership, Bitget supported UNICEF through several activations aimed at expanding awareness and participation in technology education. One of the key milestones included a visit to Cambodia, where Bitget CMO, Ignacio Aguirre, met students, educators, and local partners involved in digital skills training programs. The visit highlighted how access to foundational digital education can create new pathways for employment, entrepreneurship, and participation in the digital economy, particularly for young women and students in underserved regions.

The partnership also supported broader youth engagement initiatives through events and interactive learning experiences. In late 2025, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen supported GCC's inaugural global UNICEF Game Jam, a 40-day initiative through which young creators in emerging economies built original video games with mentorship sessions and a self-paced online course.

“Technology is becoming part of everyday life faster than education systems can adapt,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “What stood out during our work with UNICEF this year was how quickly young people engage once they are given access and opportunity. Our eventual goal is not only to introduce blockchain or digital tools, but to help build confidence and long-term digital and financial literacy that can create opportunities far beyond crypto.”

The update comes as demand for digital skills continues to rise globally, particularly in markets where younger populations are increasingly mobile-first but remain underserved by traditional technology education pathways. Bitget has continued to expand its education-focused initiatives alongside institutional and ecosystem growth, positioning digital literacy as a key pillar of long-term industry development.

“Too many young people are still locked out from the skills driving the digital transformation shaping today’s economy,” said Thomas Davin, Global Director at UNICEF Office of Innovation. “GCC is a clear response to this need. The initiative brings industry, governments, and communities together so the next generation has the skills, confidence, and opportunity to lead in a technology-driven economy. Alongside Bitget we expand to reach even more young people with the skills they need.”

In its second year, the partnership will support GCC's expansion into three additional countries and the rollout of new financial literacy and AI modules within the coalition's curriculum. Bitget will continue to engage through field visits, executive participation, and support for coalition-led learning experiences.

Hanmi Pharmaceutical Partners with Organon to Export Combination Therapies to Southeast Asia

Shin Hae-gon (right), Head of Overseas Sales at Hanmi Pharmaceutical, and Andreas Daugaard Jørgensen (left), Managing Director, Organon Asia Pacific Cluster, met at Organon’s Malaysia office to discuss the expansion of Hanmi’s combination therapies into the Southeast Asian market.

SEOUL, South Korea, May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hanmi Pharmaceutical announced that it has signed a supply agreement with global healthcare company Organon to export three combination medicines for the Malaysian and Philippine markets, expanding the companies’ partnership in Southeast Asia.

Under the agreement, Hanmi will supply three finished combination products in the cardiovascular and respiratory therapeutic areas, while Organon will be responsible for marketing, distribution, and sales in the local markets. The two companies plan to pursue phased regulatory approvals and product launches in Malaysia and the Philippines, with the potential to expand their collaboration over the mid to long term.

Organon, established in 2021 is a global healthcare company with a portfolio of over 70 products across a range of therapeutic areas. Through a deep commercial ability and trusted manufacturing network, Organon brings these important medicines and devices to patients when and where they need them in over 140 markets, including Southeast Asia.

Hanmi Pharmaceutical has previously expanded its global presence through partnerships with multinational pharmaceutical companies. The current agreement with Organon builds on Hanmi’s experience in global collaborations and is expected to support the company’s commercial expansion in the Southeast Asian market.

Southeast Asia is widely regarded as a rapidly growing pharmaceutical market driven by population growth and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. In particular, demand for combination therapies is rising as the number of patients with chronic conditions such as hypertension continues to increase.

“At Organon, we are committed to improving access to medicines that address the greatest health needs in the communities we serve,” said Mazen Altaruti, President, Organon Emerging Markets. “This partnership with Hanmi reflects our shared focus on expanding treatment options for patients in Malaysia and the Philippines and advancing more equitable access to care across the region.”

Sean Hwang, CEO of Hanmi Pharmaceutical, said, “Hanmi will continue accelerating its global expansion with our diverse portfolio of combination therapies, which represent one of the company’s core strengths. Through our collaboration with Organon, we aim to improve treatment accessibility for patients in Southeast Asia.”

Bitget lance le « Gold Fast or Go Home Challenge » pour le trading de CFD sur l’or

VICTORIA, Seychelles, 21 mai 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, la plus grande bourse universelle (UEX) au monde, lance le « Gold Fast or Go Home Challenge », une campagne mondiale visant à accélérer l’accès au trading de CFD sur l’or via l’application Bitget. Cette campagne fait suite à la récente mise à jour produit de Bitget qui a déplacé les produits TradFi (or, forex, matières premières et indices) directement dans un onglet principal de la page d’accueil, réduisant ainsi le nombre d’étapes nécessaires pour accéder directement à ces marchés depuis la page d’accueil.

Le défi proposé invite les utilisateurs à se filmer en train d’ouvrir l’application Bitget, d’accéder à la section TradFi et de réaliser une transaction CFD sur l’or XAUUSD le plus rapidement possible. Les participants publieront leurs performances sur les réseaux sociaux dans le cadre d’un défi mondial de trading basé sur la rapidité et conçu autour de l’accessibilité, de la fluidité d’exécution et de la participation aux marchés en temps réel. La campagne allie la culture du trading à des contenus courts et percutants pour les réseaux sociaux, transformant ainsi la rapidité d’exécution du produit en une expérience utilisateur concrète.

Cette campagne s’inscrit dans la stratégie globale de Bitget visant à rapprocher les actifs financiers traditionnels des environnements de trading natifs de la crypto grâce à une interface unifiée. Les utilisateurs peuvent ainsi naviguer entre les crypto-actifs, les produits tokenisés, les paires de devises, les matières premières et les CFD sur l’or depuis un compte unique sans avoir à jongler entre plusieurs plateformes, portefeuilles ou systèmes de trading.

« Les utilisateurs diversifient de plus en plus leurs activités entre les marchés crypto et les marchés financiers traditionnels au cours d’un même cycle de trading, notamment lors des périodes de forte volatilité macroéconomique », a déclaré Gracy Chen, PDG de Bitget. « Nous avons conçu la plateforme de manière à rendre ces marchés plus directement accessibles depuis l’application. En transformant ce flux de trading en une expérience publique et communautaire, ce défi vient illustrer l’évolution des comportements de trading multi-actifs. »

L’activité de trading sur l’or continue de progresser à l’échelle mondiale, les investisseurs suivant de près les anticipations de taux d’intérêt, les tendances de la politique monétaire des banques centrales, les risques d’inflation ainsi que les incertitudes géopolitiques. Sur les plateformes d’actifs numériques, les CFD sur l’or figurent parmi les produits TradFi les plus suivis en période de forte volatilité, notamment parce que les utilisateurs recherchent un accès plus rapide aux actifs sensibles aux fluctuations macroéconomiques sans avoir à quitter l’environnement de trading natif de la crypto.

L’intégration de la section TradFi à notre page d’accueil s’inscrit dans la stratégie globale de bourse universelle de Bitget qui vise à réduire la fragmentation entre actifs numériques et marchés financiers traditionnels. Face à l’augmentation du nombre d’utilisateurs qui adoptent des stratégies multi-actifs, les plateformes de trading sont de plus en plus tenues de prendre en charge les cryptomonnaies, les matières premières, les actions, le forex et les actifs tokenisés au sein d’une interface et d’un système de garanties uniques. Le développement de l’offre TradFi de Bitget témoigne de la demande croissante du marché pour un accès unifié à plusieurs classes d’actifs et une circulation plus rapide des capitaux entre les différentes catégories de trading.

Ce lancement intervient également dans le prolongement du déploiement continu de l’offre TradFi de Bitget sur les marchés mondiaux. Actuellement, la plateforme offre un accès aux marchés des cryptomonnaies ainsi qu’aux actions tokenisées, aux ETF, aux matières premières, aux paires de devises et aux métaux précieux comme l’or, le tout au sein d’un écosystème de trading unique. En 2026, Bitget a repositionné sa section TradFi sur la page d’accueil de l’application dans le cadre d’une initiative plus large visant à simplifier l’accès aux marchés et à améliorer l’efficacité d’exécution des transactions multi-actifs.
