HANGZHOU, China, Nov. 19, 2024 /CNW/ — Hikvision has hosted its 2024 HikTech Star Tour in Hangzhou, China. Over 100 tech talents from around the globe have gathered for a three-day immersive experience aimed at exploring cutting-edge innovations, sharing insights, and building a vibrant global tech community under the theme “Connecting Stars for Brilliance.”

In the months leading up to the event, Hikvision sparked a wave of creativity on global social media through the HikTech Star Show, encouraging tech enthusiasts worldwide to showcase and share their innovative ideas. The campaign received thousands of original video submissions and attracted millions of views. “These numbers are astounding,” remarked Allen Tang, Vice President of Hikvision International Business Center. “But what’s truly touched us are their stories and boundless creativity.”

An insider look at Hikvision’s AIoT innovations

With great anticipation, the HikTech Stars arrived in Hangzhou to participate in a series of engaging activities. The event began with an exclusive tour of Hikvision’s headquarters and exhibition hall. Participants explored the company’s latest technologies, including advancements in AIoT, machine learning, and intelligent security solutions. Interactive demonstrations offered an in-depth look at products that are shaping the future of various industries.

“I wasn’t expecting such high quality and such a diverse range of products. Since we’re in the security industry, we typically see only a small part of what Hikvision offers. But coming here, I’ve discovered so many more aspects. It all looks fantastic—it feels like the future,” said a HikTech Star who has been familiar with the brand for years.

They also visited Hikvision’s cutting-edge manufacturing facility in Tonglu, located on the outskirts of Hangzhou, gaining a unique glimpse into advanced production processes, automation, and quality control measures that drive the company’s innovation. The factory tour highlighted Hikvision’s commitment to excellence and its continuous pursuit of technological advancements.

Hands-on experience with the latest products and solutions

A highlight of the event was the opportunity for participants to get hands-on experience with emerging technologies. In the product experience zones, the HikTech Stars interacted with Hikvision’s newest products and solutions. Live demonstrations showcased real-world applications across various sectors—including transportation, retail, healthcare, and more—allowing them to test innovative devices and software and gain insights into how these technologies can be applied in their respective fields.

Led by Hikvision’s top engineers and experts, these sessions inspired new ideas and encouraged collaborative problem-solving. During technical seminars and discussions, participants engaged in open dialogues with Hikvision’s product and R&D teams. Topics covered future industry trends, technological challenges, and opportunities to shape the next generation of tech solutions. This exchange fostered a spirit of innovation and underscored the importance of collaboration in driving industry progress.

Commenting on the release of Hikvision’s one-stop SMB solutions that day, Benjamin Njenga Mwithiga from Kenya remarked: “Now you can accurately provide your client with a solution simply by keying in the information. Within a few steps, the Hik-Partner Pro gives you the precise solution to present to the client, which is really nice.”

Advancing together with a global tech community

The event concluded with the eagerly awaited HikTech Star Night, a gala evening celebrating the participants’ outstanding performance and contributions. The atmosphere was vibrant as attendees gathered to honor exceptional achievements.

During the gala, Hikvision recognized the best video creators who excelled in the previous HikTech Star Show. As one of the award recipients, Vitor Luiz Lopes Andrade from Brazil said, “Words can’t fully express how I feel. It has been an amazing experience to be here together at this huge event from Hikvision. Seeing our guys on the stage made me realize how important our work is—our efforts have been recognized. Let’s celebrate! Let’s connect stars for brilliance!”

Moreover, Hikvision announced its first global HikTech Ambassadors, marking a significant milestone that reflects the deepening of collaboration and a shared vision for the future. “With your support, we’re confident that we can reach new heights and make a real impact,” Allen Tang stated. “Tonight, we celebrate your outstanding achievements and demonstrate our strengthened, long-term partnership.”

He continued, “The HikTech Star Tour is more than an event; it’s a movement toward collective innovation. By bringing together diverse talents and ideas, we’re laying the groundwork for technologies that will shape a better world.”

HUSK Launches All-in-One Ecosystem, Uniting Healthy Living and Clinical Care in a Single Platform

New offering connects health plan-covered nutrition and mental health care with a personalized engagement journey — giving employers a way to measure whether wellness spend is reducing healthcare costs

WAYNE, Pa., Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In both self-funded and fully insured health plans, most employees already have access to registered dietitians and licensed therapists, yet much of that care goes unused. Today, HUSK, a preventative wellness technology company serving self-funded and fully insured employers and health insurers, announced the launch of its all-in-one wellness ecosystem, HUSK Wellness. The all-in-one ecosystem brings healthy living programs and clinical care together in a single personalized experience, with outcomes reporting employers can act on.

For three decades, HUSK has helped employers engage their workforces in wellness. In that time, it has seen the same gap again and again. Benefits are spread across separate vendors, covered care goes unused, and employers have no reliable way to connect wellness spend to outcomes. HUSK Wellness closes that gap by building each employee a personalized journey across five benefits: Challenge, Rewards, Marketplace, Nutrition and Mental Health. Each journey is shaped by employer goals and driven by employee choice.

“Employers have spent years buying wellness one vendor at a time, and the result is benefits that sit unused and no clear line to healthcare costs,” said Erin Markowski, President and CEO of HUSK. “The clinical care is already covered by the health plan, whether an employer is fully insured or self-funded. Our job is to connect it to the healthy habits people enjoy, so employees actually use it and employers can finally see whether their wellness investment is reducing healthcare spend.” — Erin Markowski, President & CEO of HUSK

The HUSK Wellness journey begins with onboarding led by Poppie, HUSK’s wellness assistant. Poppie learns each employee’s goals, interests and preferences, then builds a personalized path across all five benefits. Because everything lives in one connected ecosystem, employees spend less time searching and more time engaging. Employers can see utilization, ROI, and how participation relates to high-cost utilization such as ER visits and chronic condition spend.

“Most wellness platforms are built to nudge people into engagement. We built ours around choice,” said Samantha Chase, Head of Product at HUSK. “Employees tell Poppie what they care about, and the platform builds a journey around that. People stick with what they chose for themselves.” — Samantha Chase, Head of Product at HUSK

HUSK Wellness is available now to employers and health insurance partners. Employers can request a walkthrough at https://huskwellness.com/.

About HUSK Wellness

HUSK Wellness is a preventative wellness technology company serving employer clients and health insurers. Operating under parent company Volaris, HUSK combines engagement solutions (Rewards, Challenge, and Marketplace) with clinical care delivered by Registered Dietitians and Mental Health Therapists.

Dataships measures how marketing consent performs across channels, markets, and collection points and provides benchmarks, so brands understand the impact marketing consent has on their business, including audience growth, incremental revenue, and overall compliance posture.
