on

HONG KONG, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Joyson Electronics (0699.HK / 600699.SH), a leading global provider of smart technology solutions, announced the official opening of its Hong Kong office today. Invited to establish a presence in the city as a strategic enterprise by InvestHK and the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES), Joyson Electronics will leverage this milestone to deepen its global footprint and propel its “Auto + Robotics Tier 1” dual-engine development.

Joyson Electronics is a premier global supplier of smart automotive technologies and a core component manufacturer for robotics, ranking as the second-largest in China and fourth globally in smart cockpit domain controllers. The opening ceremony was officiated by Ms. Lillian Cheong, JP, Under Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry; Dr. Ming Ge, Commissioner for Industry (Innovation and Technology); Prof. K.C. Chan, Chairman of the Chamber of Hong Kong Listed Companies, former Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, and Adjunct Professor and Senior Advisor to the Dean at HKUST Business School; and Mr. Zhiang Chen, Chairman of Ning Shing (Holdings) Co., Ltd.

The officiating guests were joined by Joyson Electronics’ senior management, including Mr. Jeff Wang (Founder, Chairman, and Executive Director), Mr. Xuesong Zhu (Vice Chairman and Non-Executive Director), Ms. Junyu Li (Executive Director, Vice President, and CFO), and Mr. Yike Wang (Managing Director of Joyson Electronics Hong Kong). Other notable attendees witnessing this significant moment included representatives from InvestHK and OASES.

Synergizing “AI+” and “Finance+” to Accelerate Global Expansion

The establishment of the Hong Kong office reflects the fruitful collaboration between the Mainland and Hong Kong, highlighting the HKSAR Government’s policy of synergizing “AI+” and “Finance+”. Following a visit to Joyson’s Ningbo headquarters last year, the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau (ITIB) proactively invited the company to expand into Hong Kong. Recognizing the city’s premier business environment and dual advantages in I&T and capital markets, Joyson successfully listed in Hong Kong late last year. Setting up this office capitalizes on Hong Kong’s role as a “super value-adder” under the national “15th Five-Year Plan.” The company aims to leverage this platform to enhance global capital operations, optimize financing structures, attract top-tier tech talent, elevate its international brand, and accelerate its globalization strategy.

As a global leader in automotive intelligence and core robotics components, Joyson Electronics boasts strong integrated hardware and software capabilities. Its diverse product portfolio covers autonomous driving, smart cockpits/connectivity, new energy management, and core robotics components. Furthermore, the company is actively extending its automotive technologies into AI server power supplies and optical communications, recently making strategic investments in North American optical module production to capture new global opportunities. Overall, Joyson’s core technological focus aligns perfectly with the Transport Department’s policies on connected vehicles and autonomous driving, as well as the HKSAR Government’s broader “AI+” initiatives.

Looking ahead, Mr. Jeff Wang, Founder, Chairman, and Executive Director of Joyson Electronics, stated at the ceremony: “Today marks a highly strategic milestone in Joyson Electronics’ development. As a leader in automotive and robotics components, we provide products and technical services to major automakers and robotics clients worldwide.  Establishing our presence here is a core step in upgrading our global tech strategy. Moving forward, we will use our Hong Kong office as a global strategic hub. By fully leveraging Hong Kong’s advantages, its deep pool of international talent, and its highly developed financial system, we will accelerate the Group’s global R&D and application of smart connected vehicle technologies. We look forward to forging comprehensive, deep-rooted industry-academic-research partnerships with local universities, research institutes, and government bodies such as the ITIB, OASES, and InvestHK. Together, we aim to contribute Joyson’s forward-looking technological expertise to help drive the transformation and growth of Hong Kong’s industries.”

Prof. K.C. Chan, Chairman of the Chamber of Hong Kong Listed Companies, former Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, and Adjunct Professor and Senior Advisor to the Dean at HKUST Business School, stated: “It is a great pleasure to gather here today to witness the grand opening of Joyson Electronics’ Hong Kong office. This is not only a major milestone but also a testament to the vitality of Hong Kong’s capital market. In recent years, the Hong Kong stock market has welcomed numerous high-quality Mainland enterprises, with Joyson Electronics being a prime example. By establishing a foothold here, Joyson Electronics has enriched Hong Kong’s industrial ecosystem and injected new momentum into the local market. This represents not only a strong vote of confidence in Hong Kong but also a visionary step toward the future.”

Ms. Lillian Cheong, JP, Under Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, remarked at the ceremony: “I am delighted to attend the opening ceremony of Joyson Electronics’ Hong Kong office. On behalf of the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau of the HKSAR Government, I extend my warmest congratulations to the company! During my team’s visit to Ningbo last year, touring Joyson Electronics’ headquarters was a key highlight. Joyson’s successful listing in Hong Kong last year brought fresh momentum to our stock market, and today, the official opening of this office brings the company’s cutting-edge smart automotive and robotics technologies to our city. I believe this is not only a crucial step in Joyson’s globalization strategy but also a strong endorsement of Hong Kong’s I&T prospects and a resounding vote of confidence in our future. Hong Kong is currently at a pivotal stage in its I&T development. The HKSAR Government is fully committed to leveraging technology to build a new real economy, driving high-quality growth, and making greater contributions to the country’s development as a technological powerhouse. We firmly believe that through the joint efforts of the HKSAR Government and outstanding I&T enterprises like Joyson Electronics, Hong Kong’s new industrialization will reach new heights. We look forward to even closer collaboration with Joyson Electronics as we advance our new industrialization and I&T initiatives.”

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Published

By

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
