BEIJING, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On July 3, the Digital Finance Forum of Global Digital Economy Conference 2026 was grandly convened at the Beijing Banking & Insurance Business Park. Since its inception in Shijingshan in 2022, the Digital Finance Forum has been staged for five consecutive editions, evolving into an international, high‑end, and professional platform for digital finance exchange and cooperation. This forum, with the theme of “AI-Driving, Digital Symbiosis”, takes the new starting point of building a financial powerhouse during the 15th Five‑Year Plan period as its foundation, seeking to forge consensus and delineate a blueprint for the high‑quality development of global digital finance.

Wan Long, District Mayor of Shijingshan District People’s Government and Deputy Secretary of the CPC Shijingshan District Committee of Beijing Municipality delivered opening remarks at the conference, noting that digital finance is a key component of the financial sector’s “five major articles”. In the city’s drive toward becoming a global digital‑economy highland, Shijingshan has proactively aligned itself with the capital’s broader development agenda, iteratively upgrading a modern industrial system characterized by “leading + distinctive + future‑oriented” sectors. The insurance sector’s “small‑scale” reforms have achieved new breakthroughs, continuously unleashing the triple advantage of “insurance + technology + data”. Innovation in the application of digital yuan is steadily advancing, with full‑scene coverage gradually being realized in park construction, enterprise‑benefit services, and livelihood consumption. Consequently, Shijingshan’s digital finance construction is progressing swiftly and steadily.

Zhou Yanli, Former Vice Chairman of China Insurance Regulatory Commission, delivered an address. He noted that the Beijing Banking & Insurance Business Park, after 12 years of development, has evolved into a national-level financial innovation platform that is home to over 300 enterprises. Shijingshan District has taken the lead nationwide in launching the pilot program for long-term care insurance, with 77% of its permanent residents enrolled in the scheme. The district has also rolled out Beijing’s first “Credit + Healthcare” service model, which has served over 500,000 patient visits in total, and has been recognized as an outstanding case in the construction of Beijing’s “Two Zones” initiative. He pointed out that the industrial park has become a core carrier for the innovative development of digital finance in the capital. He expressed the hope that Shijingshan will leverage this forum to deepen financial exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and international institutions, and contribute the district’s strength to the building of a financial powerhouse.

Pooling Wisdom and Strength, Jointly Shaping the Future of Digital Finance

During the session of keynote speeches, Victor Gao, Vice President of CCG, delved into the ethical norms and governance boundaries of AI, framing his discussion around the proposition “AI for Good? Or AI for Evil?”. Former President of Bank of China Li Lihui shared forward-looking reflections on the concepts and approaches for financial innovation in the AI era.

In the subsequent keynote speeches, Tang Sei Kit, Chief Executive Officer of Wealth Division of Quam Plus International Financial Limited; Jing Linfeng, BOE SVP, and Chairman and CEO of UPTC; Zeng Shisong, Member of the Party Committee, China Minsheng Bank Beijing Branch; and Wu Lianfeng, Vice President & Chief Research Analyst IDC China, each shared their insights on cutting-edge topics in digital finance.

During the roundtable dialogue, heads of domestic and international financial institutions, industry experts and scholars engaged in in-depth exchanges centered on the topic of “Deepening Intelligent Applications and the Boundary of Financial Decision-Making”, jointly discussing the status quo and future trends of the global digital finance sector.

Brilliant Debuts of Premier Outcomes Jointly Forge New Paradigm for Finance Fueled by S&T Innovation

On the day of the event, the Beijing Banking & Insurance Business Park was transformed into a cutting‑edge showcase for digital finance, where a batch of innovative results and service solutions made a striking debut.

Liu Dongmin, Deputy Director and Senior Research Fellow of the International Finance Research Center at the Institute of World Economy and Politics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, delivered an in‑depth interpretation of the “Global Financial Competitiveness Report 2026”. The National FinTech Evaluation Center unveiled its evaluation toolkit for LLM and agent-based financial applications named “Li Zhu”. The China Justice Big Data Research Institute launched the BeiDou Star Financial Risk Ontology Insight Platform, while Ernst & Young Greater China presented its AI-native look-through risk management platform, offering a panoramic view of China’s latest fintech achievements.

What’s more, key financial institutions such as Sun Life Everbright Asset Management, China Life Capital, China Construction Capital, and BXRF participated in the forum, joining domestic and international guests in discussing the future development of the financial industry and accelerating the high‑level opening of China’s modern financial sector.

Innovation-Driven: Composing the Grand Chapter of Digital Finance

In recent years, Shijingshan District has thoroughly implemented the spirit of the Central Financial Work Conference and made a concerted effort to write the “digital finance” chapter. Taking the Beijing Banking & Insurance Business Park as its main base, Shijingshan is accelerating the formation of innovative outcomes in digital‑finance applications.

Shijingshan is actively promoting the aggregation of key fintech institutions. A number of national‑level financial infrastructures, including the National Banking and Insurance Industry Information Data Center, and the National FinTech Evaluation Center, have taken root in the district. Leading fintech firms such as Everbright Technology, Huayin Technology, and Bairong Inc. have also flocked to the area, continuously expanding Shijingshan’s digital‑finance participants.

The scenarios for digital yuan are being rolled out on an ongoing basis. The district has launched the city’s first “one card for culture, commerce, tourism and sports” solution, integrating bank digital yuan functions with Alipay PASS‑card capabilities; the product became a bestseller immediately upon launch. Shijingshan also processed the first central‑bank digital‑currency‑bridge payment from a public entity to a private entity, enabling cross‑border “outbound” use of digital yuan. In parallel, promotional campaigns such as “Digital Currency Benefits Daily Life” have offered a variety of consumption discounts, shifting the district’s digital yuan adoption from trial‑stage to daily use.

To further reinforce digital finance empowerment, Shijingshan District has rolled out the “Shijingshan Plan for Finance Fueled by S&T Innovation” and is developing the “Digital Finance Port” in West Beijing. By implementing the “one fund for one industry” mechanism, the district seeks to foster a virtuous cycle linking technology, industry and finance, and actively cultivate a new ecosystem for industrial development.

Looking ahead, Shijingshan District will continue to strengthen innovative application of digital finance, build a high-standard comprehensive pilot zone for digital yuan, enhance the quality and efficiency of financial services for the real economy, drive high-quality development of the financial sector through digital empowerment, and contribute Shijingshan’s strength to the building of a financial powerhouse.

District leaders Zhang Mingming and Yang Guibao attended the event.

RocketReach and Trestle partnership verifies 190 million phone numbers with a 2x higher connection rate

NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RocketReach, the leading sales and lead intelligence platform trusted by more than 30 million users and 95% of the S&P 500, announced their partnership with Trestle, a market leader in enterprise identity verification solutions. This strategic partnership enriches RocketReach’s database of 190 million verified phone numbers with Trestle’s enterprise-level identity data APIs.

Trestle processes more than 500 million queries monthly, delivering low-latency, real-time identity intelligence. As an organization that values data accuracy over inflated coverage, Trestle is lauded for their leading global phone verification performance.

“RocketReach is setting a new verification standard for every phone number they deliver, and we’re proud to be their verification partner. Contact verification usually stops at whether a number exists, without transparency into the checks really taking place. At Trestle, we pair authoritative identity data and proprietary activity signals to grade the quality of every phone record. Pairing verified data with RocketReach’s industry-leading contact database enables sales, recruiting, and marketing teams to form high-quality connections with confidence.” 

— Jordan Reynolds, CRO & Co-founder, Trestle

“Our partnership with Trestle is a huge unlock for RocketReach customers. We’re looking down the barrel of an agentic future, and that future relies heavily on data that’s trusted, verified, and secure. As we prepare to guide our customers through this shift, we can’t be more excited to offer additional phone verification through Trestle. This collaboration strengthens our existing verification process, and allows us to deliver phone grades and filters that boost our customers’ ability to form human connections in an AI era.”

— Scott Kim, CEO, RocketReach 

Every phone number, verified

While traditional phone validation tools offer high-level information – such as a phone’s country code, line type category, “valid” or “invalid” status – few enrich phone data with actionable activity scores and quality grading. RocketReach and Trestle’s strategic partnership aims to address this gap by verifying 100% of RocketReach’s phone database. Analysis conducted by RocketReach found that contacts with phone numbers verified by Trestle are twice as likely to result in a successful connection as contacts that have not been verified yet.

In addition to Trestle-verified phone numbers, all RocketReach users have access to key enhancements such as:

New confidence grading for phones (A, A-, B) that automatically remove invalid (F grade) numbersEnriched line types including mobile, direct dial, and office phones – backed by Trestle’s 99+% accuracyEnhanced search filters that surface contacts by mobile, direct dial, or office phone numbersNew phone grade-powered search that allows users to specify a minimum phone gradeExpanded API support for phone grades, line types, and user contact methods

Trusted data for all

Unlike competitors that charge extra for phone verification, RocketReach is committed to delivering verified sales and contact intelligence from day one. New and existing phone numbers in RocketReach will automatically be verified by Trestle at no additional cost. This added layer of verification gives Pro, Ultimate, and Custom RocketReach users immediate access to vetted phone numbers, line types, and confidence grades directly from their accounts.

“Data is the backbone for any business. That’s why we approach verification as the standard, not an add-on gated behind a paywall. By offering instant access to Trestle-verified numbers, we give our customers the autonomy to skip questionable phone numbers and invest more of their time into driving successful connections.” 

— Scott Kim, CEO, RocketReach

GSMA: Mobile Industry to Contribute US$1.4 Trillion to APAC Economy by 2030 as Digital Trust, AI, Digital Sovereignty and Resilience Take Centre Stage at M360 ASEAN

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mobile technologies and services are projected to contribute US$1.4 trillion to the Asia Pacific economy by 2030, a 40% increase from the US$1 trillion generated today, according to the GSMA’s new Mobile Economy Asia Pacific 2026 report.

Released today in Kuala Lumpur ahead of next month’s M360 ASEAN 2026, the report finds that the next phase of digital growth will be shaped not only by connectivity, but by how governments, operators and technology providers respond to four converging priorities: the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), declining digital trust, demand for more resilient digital infrastructure, and growing interest in digital sovereignty.

Key findings:

5G connections are forecast to reach 1.5 billion by 2030, representing 50% of all mobile connections in Asia Pacific.Operators are expected to invest more than US$200 billion in capital expenditure between 2025 and 2030.The mobile ecosystem supported 18 million jobs across the region in 2025.More than 700 million adults remain offline despite being covered by mobile broadband networks.

Julian Gorman, Head of Asia Pacific, GSMA, said: “The mobile industry is playing an increasingly important role in shaping Asia Pacific’s digital future. As this report shows, economies and societies across the region are becoming increasingly digital, with mobile networks serving as the foundation for AI adoption, digital trust and resilient digital infrastructure. As governments place greater emphasis on digital sovereignty and citizens expect stronger protection from scams, fraud and cyber threats, the responsibilities placed on our industry continue to grow. M360 ASEAN brings together policymakers, industry leaders and innovators to address these challenges, strengthen trust and ensure digital transformation delivers long-term economic and social benefits for everyone.”

Many of the issues highlighted in the report, including AI adoption, digital trust, digital sovereignty, network resilience and digital inclusion, will be explored in depth at M360 ASEAN, taking place in Kuala Lumpur on 9-10 September 2026.
