中國結象徵老師/學生(從簡單到複雜的形狀,從淺藍色到深藍色,過程象徵著自我提升)。我欣賞這句名言中隱約的優雅。它謙遜、純粹、不浮華,帶著一股書生氣質,帶著善意與魅力。現在聽起來可能有些幼稚和理想化,但這正是我想從這件珠寶中表達的。最佳整體美感獎得獎設計名稱︰Contemplation設計師︰Mariia EFIMOVA (俄羅斯)類別︰戒指作品描述*:在這個一切都發生得太快的世界裡,美麗已是司空見慣。我們經常被外在所誘惑。但內在有時傳遞的信息更為豐富。「Contemplation」邀請大家停下來,提醒大家真正的美麗存在於內心中。表二:第二十六屆香港珠寶設計比賽部分得獎作品公開組大獎兼工藝技術獎作品名稱︰浪漫與經典設計師︰謝嘉榮類別︰戒指作品描述*:珠寶與名畫的關係密不可分,有著相同的淵源,設計師汲取了印象派畫家莫內作品《睡蓮》的元素,運用珠寶藝術完美展現經典名畫的浪漫與典雅。公開組大獎作品名稱︰維多利亞-蝶光設計師︰陳詠朗類別︰戒指作品描述*:在維多利亞港的景色中,化為一隻巨蝶,展翅高飛,閃爍著五光十色的光影。幻蝶如夢,傳遞人們對未來的憧憬與渴望。每次翅膀扇動,都是對生命的讚歌。最後,幻蝶化了光境,吸引世人駐足凝望,心隨之飛翔,共同編織那份對美好的追尋。成為夢的起點,綻放無盡可能。公開組大獎作品名稱︰童趣設計師︰周天怡類別︰吊墜/胸針作品描述*:沙漏承載童年的夢,每一粒夜光沙如星塵滑落,捕捉時間的流逝與珍貴,將希望與光芒封存其中。吊墜可拆卸的設計,賦予自由更換彩沙或香氛沙的可能,增添珠寶獨特魅力與個性。在流動的光影間,見證永恆與夢想的閃耀。學生組冠軍作品名稱︰藍韻花語設計師︰劉康藍就讀學校︰香港理工大學類別︰戒指作品描述*:藍色白花青的青花瓷不僅是一種美的體現,更是時間的沈澱和中華文化的延續。將其藍白相映和紋飾繁複的特點融入珠寶設計中,表達了青花瓷恆久的吸引力和隨著時間流逝依然閃耀的特質。學生組亞軍作品名稱︰聖華設計師︰麥泳梅就讀學校︰聖方濟各大學類別︰耳環作品描述*:耳環靈感源自教堂的神聖,造型勾勒出尖塔穹頂的典雅輪廓。穹頂上的十字架象徵著永恆的祝福,中央垂掛的紫色寶石猶如聖光在人間綻放,搭配色彩斑斕的琺瑯,就像教堂彩繪玻璃在陽光下的璀璨光華。每片琺瑯都象徵著信仰的力量,散發出持久而迷人的色彩。學生組季軍作品名稱︰紅鹽設計師︰劉卓禮就讀學校︰港專學院類別︰手鍊/項鍊作品描述*:作品名取自蘇軾《橄欖》的「紛紛青子落紅鹽」,當中的紅鹽有成熟橄欖之意。紅鹽落下後便不再使用樹的養分,果中的種子重新發芽生長。橄欖樹四季長青,開花結果,周而復始,光華不息,宛如代代相傳的家族瑰寶。*資料由得獎者提供「第七屆國際珠寶設計大獎」完整得獎名單:https://hkjewellery.hktdc.com/pdf/2025/IJDEA2025.pdf「第二十六屆香港珠寶設計比賽」完整得獎名單:https://www.hktdc.com/event/hkjewellery/tc/the-26th-hong-kong-jewellery-design-competition-result-announcement由香港貿易發展局主辦的第41屆香港國際珠寶展今日於灣仔會展隆重開幕,連同於亞博館舉行的第11屆香港國際鑽石、寶石及珍珠展,共匯聚來自全球超過40個國家及地區,約4,000家參展商。珠寶精粹廊展區內的維多利亞珠寶(展位:CEC GH-E08)以62卡祖母綠和逾3400顆寶石、鑽石等打造的「煙花套鏈」,重現煙花綻放多彩的時刻。日本展商Jewelry of Raden & Urushi(展位:CEC 1CON-016)在珠寶設計精選展區,帶來以18K 黃金、阿古屋珍珠、鑽石、珍珠母貝鑲嵌的龍造型胸針和吊墜。澳洲展商Autore Pearls Pty Ltd(展位:CEC GH-C32)展示的蛇形項鏈,鑲有珍珠、鑽石和寶石,活靈活現。今年珠寶展增設新晉珠寶設計師專區,為年輕設計師提供展示才華的平台。「第七屆國際珠寶設計大獎」一眾得獎者與嘉賓合照。「第二十六屆香港珠寶設計比賽」一眾得獎者與嘉賓合照。圖片下載︰https://bit.ly/3QI66F3展會資料:香港國際珠寶展展覽日期開放時間2025年3月4日(星期二)上午10時30分至下午6時30分2025年3月5日至7日(星期三至五)上午10時至下午6時30分2025年3月8日(星期六)上午10時至下午5時30分展覽地點灣仔博覽道1號香港會議展覽中心記者登記處及新聞中心新聞界代表請攜同名片及記者證到香港會議展覽中心展覽廳1D大堂,或到香港貿發局新聞中心(香港會議展覽中心博覽道入口──新翼地下)登記**香港國際鑽石、寶石及珍珠展展覽日期開放時間2025年3月2 (星期日)上午10時30分至下午6時30分2025年3月3至5日 (星期一至三)上午10時至下午6時30分2025年3月6日 (星期四)上午10時至下午5時30分展覽地點香港大嶼山香港國際機場亞洲國際博覽館記者登記處及新聞中心新聞界代表請攜同名片及記者證到亞洲國際博覽館東大堂入口(3號展館對面電梯旁),或到新聞中心(2樓201C會議室)登記****基於保安理由,記者須出示工作證及身份證或護照登記,方能辦理記者證,持大會發出記者證入場前,保安人員亦會要求出示身份證明文件,以確認身份。請預留足夠時間辦理記者證及入場。相關網頁 香港國際珠寶展香港國際鑽石、寶石及珍珠展展覽網頁http://hkjewelleryshow.hktdc.com/tchttp://hkdgp.hktdc.com/tc精選產品https://bit.ly/4hE1ifz兩展穿梭巴士安排https://www.hktdc.com/event/hkjewellery/tc/travel-to-fairground-hkcechttps://www.hktdc.com/event/hkdgp/tc/travel-to-fairground-awe展會活動https://www.hktdc.com/event/hkjewellery/tc/intelligence-hubhttps://www.hktdc.com/event/hkdgp/tc/intelligence-hub香港貿發局新聞中心:http://mediaroom.hktdc.com/tc傳媒查詢香港貿易發展局傳訊及公共事務部:夏妙婷電話:(852) 2584 4575電郵:sharon.mt.ha@hktdc.org張希汶電話:(852) 2584 4272電郵:serena.hm.cheung@hktdc.org劉茸電話:(852) 2584 4472電郵:clayton.y.lawuw@hktdc.org香港貿易發展局簡介香港貿易發展局(香港貿發局)是於1966年成立的法定機構,負責促進、協助和發展香港貿易。香港貿發局在世界各地設有超過50個辦事處,其中13個設於中國內地,致力推廣本港作為雙向環球投資及商業樞紐。 香港貿發局通過舉辦國際展覽會、會議及商貿考察團,為企業(尤其是中小企)開拓內地和環球市場的機遇。香港貿發局亦通過研究報告和數碼資訊平台,提供最新的市場分析和產品資訊。有關香港貿發局的其他資訊,請瀏覽www.hktdc.com/aboutus/tc。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

GA-ASI Welcomes USAF Designation for New CCA: YFQ-42A

SAN DIEGO, CA, Mar 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) welcomes the U.S. Air Force's designation for its Collaborative Combat Aircraft: the new uncrewed jet fighter will be called the YFQ-42A. The announcement on Monday followed an earlier USAF decision in 2024 that GA-ASI was selected to develop and build the YFQ-42A. "We're proud to get a new official aircraft designation," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "YFQ-42A continues a long and distinguished history for GA-ASI that dates back to the 1990s and the debut of the RQ-1 Predator®, which later changed to MQ-1 Predator. That uncrewed aircraft gave way to the MQ-9A Reaper®, the MQ-20 Avenger®, our new MQ-9B SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian®, and many others."These aircraft represent an unrivaled history of capable, dependable uncrewed platforms that meet the needs of America's warfighters and point the way to a significant new era for airpower."The Air Force selected YFQ-42A as the Mission Design Series (MDS) for GA-ASI's CCA prototype, representing the first in a new generation of unmanned fighter aircraft. YFQ-42A will be critical in securing air dominance for the Joint Force in future conflicts, leveraging autonomous capabilities and crewed-uncrewed teaming to defeat enemy threats in contested environments.The Air Force is developing Autonomous Collaborative Platforms to maintain its air superiority. Semi-autonomous aircraft, like YFQ-42A, will enhance flexibility, affordability, and mission effectiveness. YFQ-42A will enhance air superiority as a flexible, affordable force multiplier. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with current and next-generation crewed aircraft, expanding mission capabilities and ensuring continued air dominance. In short, YFQ-42A provides fighter capacity - affordable mass - at a lower cost and on a threat-relevant timeline.The YFQ-42A designation follows the Air Force's decision to designate GA-ASI's highly common predecessor aircraft as the XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station. The XQ-67A was ordered by the Air Force Research Lab to support the development of concepts necessary to implement the vision for CCA.In the Air Force system, an "X" plane is designed for testing and experimentation, while "Y" describes initial production-representative aircraft, usually ahead of a formal program. "F" is for fighter and "Q" designates an uncrewed aircraft. Once the production-representative aircraft moves into production, the "Y" will drop from the prefix.GA-ASI will have a one-sixth scale model of the YFQ-42A on display during the Air Warfare Symposium March 3-5, 2025, in booth #1003.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.

香港, 2025年3月3日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近年來,中國汽車產業鏈在資本市場上動作頻頻,諸多重量級 IPO 相繼登場。從「蔚小理」造車新勢力到地平線等智駕領域明星企業,再到寧德時代,中國汽車產業的資本化進程不斷加速。2月28日,國內唯一未上市的大型汽車集團奇瑞汽車正式向港交所遞表,擬在主板掛牌。中金、華泰及廣發擔任聯席保薦人。奇瑞汽車是中國自主品牌乘用車的領軍企業之一,以截至2024年9月30日止九個月的全球銷量計算,是中國第二大自主品牌乘用車公司和全球第十一大乘用車公司。若成功在港上市,奇瑞汽車預計將成為近年來汽車行業體量最大的 IPO。構築多元產品矩陣,推動品牌持續攀升在汽車行業,產品力是品牌價值的核心。憑藉多年業務深耕所積累的技術專長及業務能力,奇瑞汽車構築了多元化的產品矩陣,擁有奇瑞、捷途、星途、iCAR和智界五大品牌。其中,奇瑞品牌以高性價比和廣泛適用性,奠定了堅實的市場基礎;捷途聚焦旅行+概念,開拓細分市場;星途主打高端智能,進一步提升品牌形象;iCAR 專注新能源個性化,滿足年輕群體的獨特需求;智界則主攻新能源高端市場。各品牌定位清晰,相互補充,共同構成奇瑞汽車強大的品牌矩陣,並呈持續攀升之勢。根據全球消費者洞察和市場研究公司君迪的排名,在2023年和2024年中國新車質量研究中,奇瑞品牌連續兩年位居中國自主乘用車品牌第一。從銷量數據來看,奇瑞汽車各品牌均呈現出強勁的增長態勢。2024 年首九個月,奇瑞品牌銷量同比增長 36.0%,捷途品牌銷量更是實現翻倍增長,星途、iCAR 和智界也都在各自細分市場取得顯著突破。不僅如此,品牌力的提升還讓奇瑞汽車在乘用車行業競爭加劇的背景下,實現更高的產品定價。2024年首九個月,公司平均整車銷售單價較2022年度增長32.9%。全球化戰略大獲成功,深入打開海外市場在車企出海浪潮中,奇瑞汽車同樣走在前列。公司早在 2001 年就開啟出海步伐,已在全球範圍內建立了研發、生產和銷售網絡。研發方面,公司已在歐洲、南美及北美以及東南亞建立研發中心,深入了解當地市場需求和技術趨勢。生產方面,在亞洲、歐洲、非洲及南美洲等海外市場擴大產能,提升市場回應速度。此外,公司還建立了廣泛且有效的銷售網絡,截至2024年9月30日,擁有1,075家海外經銷商,排名中國自主品牌乘用車公司前列。這種「從研發到生產再到銷售」的全鏈路佈局,既為奇瑞汽車在海外市場贏得先發優勢,更使其成為中國汽車品牌出海的典範。自2003年起,奇瑞汽車連續22年乘用車出口量排名中國自主品牌乘用車公司第一。2024年首九個月,奇瑞汽車海外市場收入占比達44.0%,佔據近半壁江山。在歐洲、南美和中東及北非地區,奇瑞汽車乘用車銷量位列中國自主品牌乘用車公司第一。此次奇瑞汽車赴港上市,對中國汽車產業發展意義重大。它不僅是奇瑞汽車走向資本國際化的重要里程碑,也代表著中國汽車的全球化之路又邁出堅實一步。通過IPO,公司將構建國際化資本運作平台,提升品牌國際影響力,助力公司持續打造中國汽車品牌出海的優秀樣本,推動中國汽車產業在全球市場上不斷向前。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

賓夕法尼亞州博耶敦, 2025年3月3日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - Global Advanced Metals Pty Ltd (GAM)是一家領先的鉭和錫產品生產商,其位於澳大利亞、日本和美國的三家製造工廠成功通過了負責任礦產倡議(RMI)下的負責任礦產保障流程(RMAP)的衝突礦產盡職調查審計。 GAM 在盡職調查和負責任礦產貿易方面取得了新的里程碑。經過2024年8月和9月的審計,RMAP-RMI 認定 GAM 位於日本會津(Aizu)、澳大利亞西澳格林布什(Greenbushes, WA)和美國賓夕法尼亞州博伊爾鎮(Boyertown, Pennsylvania)的工廠符合其針對鉭和錫的審計標準。 要獲得 RMAP-RMI 的合規認證,公司必須成功通過嚴格的第三方冶煉廠運營審計。該審計包括驗證以下內容:遵循經濟合作與發展組織(OECD)的五步盡職調查指南,合理的原產國評估,礦山來源及供應鏈追溯文件,以及廢料來源驗證等多項標準。 GAM 全球供應鏈高級總監愛德華·斯泰克爾(Edward Steckel)表示:“這些成功的審計進一步證明了 GAM 以整體管理體系為核心的礦產盡職調查方法的有效性。GAM 將繼續與負責任礦產貿易公私聯盟(PPA)、負責任礦產倡議(RMI)、經濟合作與發展組織(OECD)多方利益相關者小組等組織合作,推動礦產行業的負責任商業實踐。” RMI-RMAP 的衝突礦產盡職調查審計項目由多個行業(如電子、航空航天、汽車)、政府及其他利益相關方共同領導和支持。下游企業依賴 GAM 等符合標準的冶煉廠,以確保遵守美國《多德-弗蘭克法案》第1502條、歐盟衝突礦產法規及其他適用的無衝突礦產法規。關於 GAMGlobal Advanced Metals (GAM)是一家領先的無衝突鉭和錫產品製造商。GAM 擁有全球最大工業級鉭礦資源的獨家開採權,該礦位於澳大利亞西部。GAM 在美國賓夕法尼亞州和日本會津的工廠生產無衝突鉭粉末無衝突鉭粉末和冶金產品,廣泛應用於電子、航空航天、汽車、醫療及化工等行業。此外,GAM 還在澳大利亞西澳格林布什工廠生產錫錠。GAM 位於日本和美國的冶煉設施最早於2010年在前電子工業公民聯盟(EICC)/全球電子可持續發展倡議(GeSI)的無衝突採購倡議(CFSI)審計計劃下獲得“無衝突”認證,並持續符合當前負責任礦產保障流程(RMAP)的標準。關於 RBA、RMI 和 RMAP負責任商業聯盟(RBA),前身為電子工業公民聯盟(EICC)。負責任礦產倡議(RMI),前身為無衝突採購倡議(CFSI)。負責任礦產保障流程(RMAP),前身為無衝突冶煉廠計劃(CFSP)。聯繫信息Jean-Paul MeutchehoDirestor of Sourcing and Corporate Sustainabilityjmeutcheho@globaladvancedmetals.com+1 610-369-8165來源: Global Advanced Metals Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
