KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 (Bernama) — The Xiong’an “Artificial Intelligence+” Industry Ecosystem Integration Development Forum, a parallel event of the 2026 ZGC Forum, brought together more than 400 global artificial intelligence (AI) experts, industry leaders and investors in Xiong’an New Area to explore the next phase of AI-driven growth and Beijing-Xiong’an collaboration.
Held under the theme of “Beijing-Xiong’an Intelligent Innovation and Ecosystem Integration”, the forum outlined Xiong’an’s evolving AI industry landscape and introduced a suite of policy measures aimed at supporting enterprises across the full innovation cycle—from research and development to real-world application deployment.
Key outcomes included the release of collaborative innovation achievements between Beijing and Xiong’an, major application scenarios, and an “Open Competition Mechanism to Select the Best Candidates” list, according to a statement.
Together, these initiatives are designed to accelerate industrial coordination through technology breakthroughs, scenario-based applications and demonstrable results.
Several major projects were also launched, including joint Beijing-Xiong’an science and technology initiatives, investment projects backed by the Xiong’an Fund, new enterprise entries into Xiong’an Zhongguancun Park, and the rollout of key innovation platforms.
In addition, authorities officially introduced the “Hundred Models Competition”, aimed at attracting high-quality AI models and solutions while fostering innovation through competitive selection and talent aggregation.
During keynote sessions, leading academics and researchers highlighted global AI trends, theoretical advancements and China’s research progress, underscoring Xiong’an’s growing role as a hub for intelligent integration and innovation.
As the only host city outside Beijing for a 2026 ZGC Forum parallel event, Xiong’an is accelerating the development of a full AI innovation chain spanning research and development, incubation and industrial clustering.
Looking ahead, the continued integration of Beijing and Xiong’an is expected to strengthen the broader Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei innovation corridor and drive regional economic growth through AI-led transformation.
SINGAPORE, April 2 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vocalbeats.AI, a Singapore-based AI-powered audio company, today announces a partnership with Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) to establish the Vocalbeats.AI‑Turing AI Scholarship. The partnership was formalised at a signing ceremony at NTU on April 1.
The scholarship aims to recognise and support exceptional undergraduates enrolled in the College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS) at NTU, reflecting Vocalbeats.AI’s commitment to nurturing world-class talent in Singapore. Recipients of the scholarship will be encouraged to apply for internships, mentorships, and career pathways within the company, as Vocalbeats.AI continues to grow its team in tandem with the expanding global reach of its products and services.
Marco Lai Jinnan, CEO of Vocalbeats.AI, said: “Voice AI is reshaping how people connect across languages and cultures. This scholarship is our commitment to ensuring we have the world-class talent to advance that frontier, and our experience working with NTU students and graduates has shown us what is possible when the brightest young minds take on real-world challenges. We look forward to creating more of those opportunities for students who are ready to build the future of voice AI with us.”
The scholarship comes at a time when demand for AI engineering talent continues to outstrip supply globally. In Singapore, the National AI Strategy 2.0 has set an explicit goal of tripling the nation’s AI practitioner pool, calling directly on industry to co-invest in building that capacity alongside universities, including NTU.
Professor Luke Ong, Dean of NTU’s College of Computing and Data Science and Vice President (AI & Digital Economy), said: “This partnership highlights the importance of industry-university collaboration in developing AI talent. The Turing AI Scholars Programme at NTU combines rigorous training in AI and computing with masterclasses, hands-on research opportunities, and international immersion experiences. With Vocalbeats.AI’s support, our students will have valuable opportunities to engage with industry, apply their skills, and contribute to Singapore’s growing AI ecosystem.”
Vocalbeats.AI has already been contributing to Singapore’s AI talent capacity-building objectives. In 2025, the company strengthened its university partnerships, welcoming students from local universities into its internship programme. One of the graduates from NTU has since transitioned into a full-time role and is currently contributing to the company’s research capabilities.

-Overseas Development of Japan-grown Sprouts Rapidly Growing-
Murakami Farm Co., Ltd., announced on March 30 that the company’s sales of “Broccoli Super Sprouts,” produced by Taiwanese company “Greenvines” under license, recorded a twofold year-on-year increase in FY2025, demonstrating that its first overseas license business is rapidly gaining speed.
Boasting the top market share of sprouts in Japan, Murakami Farm entered into a license agreement for the production and sales of sprout products with Greenvines in the Taiwan region in 2021, with shipments starting in 2022.
Murakami Farm has systematized its know-how in the selection of material seeds, production/quality management, and marketing cultivated over many years in the field of sprout products and has been providing its latest techniques to Greenvines. Behind the growth of the sprout business in the Taiwan region are increasing health awareness and high confidence in the Japanese brand among local people.
In the Taiwan region, the ratio of people eating out has rapidly risen due to the increasing number of double-income households, and inadequate intake of fresh vegetables is seen as a problem. In addition, the population in the Taiwan region is aging as in Japan, and they seem to be becoming more and more health-conscious. Under these circumstances, Broccoli Super Sprouts, containing high concentrations of the beneficial compound “sulforaphane,” is gaining increasing support mainly among highly health-conscious people. In addition, people’s sense of trust in the safety and production/quality management of the product as a licensed Japanese-branded product has supported its growing demand. As in Japan, the amount of sulforaphane contained in the product produced in the Taiwan region is also regularly measured at Murakami Farm’s Sulforaphane Laboratory to check whether the product contains an adequate amount. In this way, the company has realized a system for producing and shipping the products while also checking sulforaphane levels.
This project is one of the initiatives of Murakami Farm’s overseas license business in developing its knowledge and know-how concerning Japan-grown sprouts. In the global market, there is also increasing interest in sprout products focusing on functionality. The company has a future-based policy of further strengthening its business foundation in the Taiwan region and developing overseas license businesses mainly in Asia. By providing the latest plant factory techniques that can produce products of reliable quality throughout the year independent of environmental changes such as climate conditions, it will enhance local people’s health and promote its business growth in the expanding global market.
Q4 EPS more than doubles to $0.14 as profitability improves significantly year over year
IRVINE, Calif., March 30 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated (Nasdaq: SBC) (“SBC Medical” or the “Company”), a Management Services Organization operating a wide range of franchise businesses across diverse medical fields, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 (three months ended December 31, 2025) and for the full fiscal year 2025 (twelve months ended December 31, 2025).
Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights
Total revenues were $40 million, representing an 11% year-over-year decrease.
Net Income attributable to SBC Medical Group was $14 million, representing a 117% year-over-year increase.
Earnings per share, which is defined as net income attributable to the Company divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares, was $0.14 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing 133% year-over-year increase.
EBITDA¹, which is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization expense and impairment loss on intangible assets to income from operations was $14 million, representing a 35% year-over-year decrease. EBITDA margin¹ was 34% for the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a year-over-year decrease of 12 percentage points.
Return on equity, which is defined as net income attributable to the Company divided by the average shareholder’s equity as of December 31, 2025, was 23% representing a year-over-year increase of 9.8 percentage points.
Number of Franchise Locations² was 283 as of December 31, 2025, representing an increase of 34 locations from December 31, 2024.
Number of customers³ in the last twelve months ended December 31, 2025, was 6.6 million, representing a 12% year-over-year increase.
Repeat rate for customers⁴ who visited franchisee’s clinics twice or more was 72%.
¹ EBITDA and EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. For more information on non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results.”
² The figures take into accounts of the franchising of SBC brand clinics, Rize Clinic, Gorilla Clinic, AHH, JUN CLINIC
³ The customer count includes customers of SBC brand clinics, Rize Clinic, Gorilla Clinic, AHH Clinic, and JUN CLINIC. The applicable periods are from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025.
⁴ The figures include franchising of SBC brand clinics, Rize Clinic, and Gorilla Clinic, but does not take account of customers of AHH clinics and JUN CLINIC excluding free counseling. The percentage of customers who visited our franchisee’s clinics twice or more.
Full Year 2025 Highlights
Total revenues were $174 million, representing a 15% year-over-year decrease.
Net Income attributable to SBC Medical Group was $51 million, representing a 9% year-over-year increase.
Earnings per share, which is defined as net income attributable to the Company divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares, was $0.50 for the year ended December 31, 2025, representing a 4% year-over-year increase.
EBITDA¹, which is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization expense and impairment loss on intangible assets to income from operations was $70 million, representing a 21% year-over-year decrease. EBITDA margin was 40% for the full year 2025, representing a year-over-year decrease of 3 percentage points.
Yoshiyuki Aikawa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SBC Medical, commented: “Our full-year 2025 results reflect a business in transition. Revenue declined 15% to $174 million, primarily due to two structural changes: the business restructuring undertaken in 2024, and the revision of franchise fee arrangements implemented in April 2025. These were deliberate steps to build a more sustainable business foundation, and their financial impact is now largely behind us.
Beneath the revenue decline, our underlying profitability strengthened considerably. Full-year net income attributable to SBC Medical Group grew 9% to $51 million, with earnings per share of $0.50. Our net income margin expanded from 23% to 29%, as the IPO-related stock-based compensation and impairment losses that weighed on our prior-year results did not recur. EBITDA margin normalized modestly from 43% to 40%, which we view as a more sustainable run-rate going forward.
In the fourth quarter specifically, we saw encouraging operational momentum. Average revenue per customer recovered to $316, an 11% increase year over year — a meaningful inflection after a period of gradual decline, and one that we believe reflects the early impact of our pricing and customer engagement initiatives. We closed the year with 283 clinic locations and 6.63 million annual customer visits.
As we enter 2026, we are focused on three priorities: advancing our multi-brand strategy in the dermatology segment, expanding our non-aesthetic healthcare portfolio, and building a stronger foundation in international markets. With the structural headwinds of the past two years now largely behind us, we are well-positioned to return to sustainable top-line growth.”

The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as EBITDA and EBITDA margin, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company’s results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, cash flows or liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operations and cash flows data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results.”
