The three-day festival, themed "Life is not a track, but a ______," drew tens of thousands of fans to Aranya, a coastal cultural and tourism destination in northern China's Hebei province.

Co-produced by Damai Entertainment, an Alibaba Group subsidiary, and Aranya, and organized by Damai's Xiami Music Entertainment label, the festival has become one of China's major destination music events.

This year's international lineup featured artists from Sweden, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, including The Cardigans, Tortoise, The Horrors, Frente!, Gallant, Hayd, Christian Kuria, Ivoris and Zella Day. They performed alongside Chinese artists including Lao Lang, Chen Li and Leah Dou in a lineup spanning indie pop, post-rock, alternative rock, R&B and dream pop.

The Cardigans delivered a special 90-minute set featuring songs from across their three-decade career, including "Lovefool," "Communication" and "Carnival."

In recent years, the festival has expanded beyond music to include theater, exhibitions, film, designer toys and other forms of entertainment, becoming a showcase for Damai Entertainment's broader live entertainment portfolio. At this year's event, Damai Entertainment's designer-toy brand LUCKY LOOP showcased original characters including HEY PENNY, ECHOA and Kooie. The brand opened its first three stores—in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou—in August and plans to establish a presence in six Chinese cities by the end of the year.

The festival also highlighted the growing connections between Damai Entertainment's live entertainment and film businesses. The theme song and closing theme from the hit film Dear You were performed during the event. Damai Entertainment is also handling the film's worldwide theatrical release.

The festival's commercial program continued to grow in 2026, with 30 brands participating, including 88VIP, Samsung, Volkswagen, Tmall Hey Box, Tmall Super Brand Day, Sprite, Aimer, Freshippo and Nivea.

香港2026年9月1日 /美通社/ -- 從中國環境行業的龍頭企業，光大環境（00257.HK）半年報披露的經營動作看，光大環境2026年上半年的關鍵詞，已不只是項目規模，更包括存量項目提效、技術成果轉化和海外市場業務拓展。集團在既有業務基礎上推進精細運營，並以裝備、技術服務和設計諮詢打開新的市場空間。

截至2026年6月30日，集團業務覆蓋中國境內24個省、自治區、直轄市及1個特別行政區，足跡遍及228個市縣區，海外市場佈局20個國家；投資落實環保項目603個，總投資約1645億元（人民幣‧下同）。項目網絡和業務儲備，為運營能力持續提升提供了基礎。

營運驅動與結構優化：營運收益佔比升至76%，國補常態化加速現金流回籠

值得留意的是，光大環境的整體運營收入佔比今年上半年再度提升，由去年上半年的70%增至76%，顯示收入結構進一步優化。

回顧期內，環保能源持續探索境內外雙線市場並取得積極進展。海外拓展菲律賓、塞舌爾等市場；國內推動供熱供汽、環衛運維、有機廢氣無害化處置等多條細分業務賽道協同並進。與此同時，運營項目垃圾進廠量、餐廚與廚餘垃圾處理量、供熱供汽量等核心運營指標較去年同比穩步提升2%、2%、11%，顯示運營增效成效良好。

水務板塊深化精細化運營管理，降本提效。2026年上半年，光大水務汙水處理量為約8.89億立方米，同比增長6%。圍繞效能評估、工藝穩定性監測和設備數智化監管，水務板塊搭建「三位一體」運營診斷機制，並通過工藝優化、低碳碳源替代、智慧化監控和大宗物資集中採購等措施，推動單位汙水處理藥劑成本同比有所下降。旗下2座汙水處理廠獲批上調汙水處理服務費價格，調價幅度為8%至35%。

綠色環保板塊的運營也呈現出結構性改善。上半年，垃圾進廠量、生物質原材料處理量、供熱供汽量分別同比增長2%、4%和19%；供熱供汽業務發力成長，危固廢業務對重點幫扶項目實施「一企一策」，多個項目實現扭虧為盈或大幅減虧。

除此之外，集團上半年應收賬款回收128億元，同比多回收13億元；國補回收13.8億元，同比多回收約人民幣7.1億元；回款率67.4%；5月起實現2020年以來首次「按月常態化發放」。

科技轉化：五大科技樣板間落地AI與商業化轉化賦能降本增效

環境研究院圍繞飛灰資源化利用、生物質高值化利用、垃圾制炭和小微型爐四個方向推進「3+1」重點研發。首台套10噸/日小微型爐示範項目在鎮江垃圾發電項目試運行成功，核心工藝及設備經鑒定達到國際領先水平；飛灰資源化利用打通「回爐」工藝路線，垃圾制炭推進盈利模式探索和示範項目建設準備，新型水力清灰、餐廚廢水資源化、智能安防產品等新技術實現落地應用。

綜合來看，光大環境上半年的經營重點，體現為運營提效、科技落地和市場拓展相互支撐：運營端改善存量項目質效，研發端加快技術成果進入場景，輕資產端則推動裝備、設計和服務能力向更多區域延伸。對集團而言，這是一條從項目建設能力向綜合運營與解決方案能力延展的路徑。

HONG KONG, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On the morning of 28 August, Fosun International held its 2026 interim results presentation in Hong Kong. This marks Fosun's return to Hong Kong to hold a results presentation for the first time in six years. The results presentation was attended by Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International; Wang Qunbin, Co-Chairman of Fosun International; Chen Qiyu, Co-CEO of Fosun International; Xu Xiaoliang, Co-CEO of Fosun International; and Gong Ping, CFO of Fosun International, together with a number of investors, analysts, and media representatives.

On the evening of 27 August, Fosun International announced its 2026 interim results. During the Reporting Period, the Group's total revenue reached RMB86.96 billion; profit attributable to owners of the parent reached RMB1.72 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 160.3%; overseas revenue reached RMB49.16 billion, with its share of total revenue rising to 56.5%.

Commenting on Fosun's interim results, Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International, said they reflect the outcome of the strategic adjustments Fosun has made over the past few years. Its "repairing the roof on a sunny day" efforts have paid off as planned. Going forward, Fosun will continue to focus on industries where it holds competitive advantages and accelerate development along a path of steady growth.

"Over the past few years, and especially last year, we have been 'repairing the roof of our home on a sunny day' and 'repairing the car roof on a sunny day'— to strengthen Fosun's foundation, enabling it to embark on a path of accelerated, steady growth," said Guo Guangchang.

Unlocking Core Pathways between its Insurance Business and Industries where it Excels

In the first half of the year, Fosun's four core companies — Fosun Pharma, Yuyuan, Fosun Insurance Portugal (Fidelidade), and the Tourism segment — together accounted for 73.5% of the Group's total revenue, underscoring Fosun's solid foundation. Among them, the pharmaceutical and insurance segments delivered particularly strong performance.

Guo Guangchang said, "For more than three decades, integrating our insurance business with industries where we hold competitive advantages has been a strategic priority for Fosun — a core pathway we have long sought to unlock. I believe we have now achieved it. This integration will significantly strengthen our industrial operational capabilities and enhance future profitability, providing sustained momentum for Fosun's long term development."

On overall operating performance in the first half of the year, Wang Qunbin, Co-Chairman of Fosun International, stated that Fosun remains committed to its business streamlining and core business-focused strategy at this stage. On the one hand, it continues to improve Fosun International's credit rating, with the aim of gradually achieving investment-grade status. On the other hand, it focuses its development on the insurance business and industries where it holds competitive advantages. Fosun remains steadfast in its commitment to long-termism, better navigating economic cycles, and managing their fluctuations. At the same time, Fosun continues to put customers first and improve satisfaction among its five customer groups, while advancing its distinctive open and integrated approach to innovation, building global commercialization capabilities and a global operating system, and combining global resources with China's capabilities.

Building an Open Global Innovation and Operating Ecosystem

Innovation and globalization are Fosun's core strategies and the key drivers behind its earnings recovery. In terms of innovation, Fosun has consistently made substantial investments in technology innovation across its core businesses, particularly in pharmaceuticals, for over a decade. In the first half of this year, investment in technology innovation reached RMB4.2 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 16.7%.

Chen Qiyu, Co-CEO of Fosun International, explained that in the field of pharmaceutical and healthcare, Fosun has built its presence around the needs of three key markets — China, the U.S., and emerging markets. After more than a decade of effort, it has established technology platforms covering monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), fusion proteins, small molecules, autologous CAR-T, next-generation universal CAR-T, and radiopharmaceuticals. It has also built a high-value R&D pipeline spanning solid tumors, hematologic tumors, immunology and inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic disorders. At the same time, Fosun is continuously building an open innovation ecosystem and forging broad partnerships with more global companies.

Chen Qiyu believes that after nearly 20 years of sustained commitment to innovative R&D, Chinese biopharmaceutical companies now face a critical global challenge they must overcome: global operational capabilities, particularly global commercialization capabilities. To that end, beyond advancing R&D innovation, Fosun is taking a key strategic step — building a globally integrated operating system with synergy across the entire value chain, rolling out systematic commercial strategies across various markets, and strengthening its global commercialization capabilities.

Xu Xiaoliang, Co-CEO of Fosun International, stated that innovation-driven development is central to Fosun's high-quality operations, and innovation is Fosun's key growth driver. Fosun's innovation strategy has four pillars: innovative R&D, innovative products, innovative processes and innovative scenarios. In short, Fosun's approach to innovation is not a matter of isolated breakthroughs but systematic innovation across R&D, products, processes, and scenarios, driving new momentum for high-quality operations.

Regarding Fosun's globalization strategy, Xu Xiaoliang said that Fosun sees two sides to it. Side A is about leveraging global R&D and global manufacturing to create better products, while harnessing global resources to drive industrial synergy and a coordinated global presence. Side B is about global operations and global marketing to build service networks around customer needs worldwide and enhance brand penetration and market expansion.

Accelerating Development along a Path of Sustainable Growth

On the financial front, a key area of investor interest, Gong Ping, CFO of Fosun International, shared at the results presentation that in the first half of 2026, the Group's overall operating revenue remained stable with an improving revenue mix, profitability improved significantly and returned to a growth trajectory, and technology innovation investment continued to rise, with a focus on high-quality development. At the same time, the Group continued to optimize its asset portfolio and strengthen asset quality, and steadily entered a valuation recovery phase. While making solid progress across its businesses, the Group continued to optimize its balance sheet structure, steadily reduce its debt level, and maintain stable credit ratings.

At the results presentation, Guo Guangchang, remarked, "While the results Fosun International delivered in the first half of the year have been well received, they are still far from our ultimate goal. Nor is the Board's medium-term target of restoring annual profit to the RMB10 billion level our ultimate goal. A company must always be grounded in its vision, mission, and values. It is only with a strong sense of purpose that a company can stay the course and achieve long-term success. Whether we are 'repairing the car roof' or 'repairing the roof of our home', the ultimate goal is to deliver on our vision and mission. Going forward, Fosun will continue to focus on industries where it holds competitive advantages to 'spur the horse to full speed', pushing forward with even greater momentum along the path of sustainable growth."

SINGAPORE, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Active travel or 'sportcations' are becoming the next big travel trend, with Trip.com Group seeing a strong double-digit increase in booking GMV. From cycling through mountain passes to joining diving camps and wellness retreats, active travel is becoming a defining part of how people experience the world.

A growing passion for active travel

This shift is gathering pace across the full travel journey, with searches for active sports experiences growing by over 30% year on year, with markets witnessing substantial increases: 80% in Singapore, 65% in Malaysia, and 50% in the United Kingdom, while France, Italy, Germany, and Spain all recorded triple-digit growth.

Total travel booking GMV has increased by almost 40%, with markets such as South Korea (+150%), Singapore (+104%), and Thailand (+200%) seeing bookings more than double over the past year. The same is seen for European travellers. The United Kingdom saw bookings grow by over 100%, and Germany by over 600%, highlighting that travellers are increasingly planning holidays around experiences that get them moving.

From adrenaline to adventure, travellers are following their passions

Active travel is taking many forms, reflecting the wide range of interests shaping today's holidays. Globally, diving ranks as the most-booked sporting experience, followed by activities such as ziplining, paragliding, skydiving and cycling.

Across individual markets, preferences vary, giving destinations their own unique sporting identities. Adventure activities prove especially popular across Asia. Diving leads bookings in South Korea, Malaysia, Germany, Spain, Italy and France. At the same time, skydiving ranks first in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Thailand, while Japanese travellers show the strongest preference for cycling.

Destinations are driving signature experiences

As travellers increasingly build holidays around the activities they love, certain places are emerging as go-to destinations for particular passions. The data shows that five destinations in particular stand out across multiple types of active travel, with Thailand, China, Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia appearing among the leading destinations across cycling, climbing, swimming, water sports and adventure experiences.

Thailand leads the way, appearing across all five categories and ranking as the leading destination for diving, while also featuring among the top destinations for cycling, water sports and adventure activities. This breadth of experiences makes it a particularly strong destination for travellers looking to combine different activities within one trip.

Australia stands out as another versatile destination, attracting travellers for cycling, rock climbing, surfing and kayaking, as well as adventure activities such as paragliding and skydiving. Its presence across multiple categories reflects the growing appeal of destinations where travellers can combine diverse active experiences within the same holiday.

From travelling together to inspiring others

While the passion for active experiences is shared globally, the way people travel differs across regions. In Europe, the average travel party is 1-2 people, suggesting many travellers are embarking on solo adventures or trips with a partner. Across the Asia-Pacific region, the average group size increases to 2-3, highlighting the popularity of travelling with friends and family to share new experiences.

These experiences are also shaping how travellers engage online. Active travel-related posts on Trip.Moments have nearly doubled globally, growing by 99% year on year as more travellers document their adventures and inspire others to follow in their footsteps. Several markets have seen particularly strong growth in community sharing, including Spain (224.9%), the United Kingdom (122.2%), Italy (118.9%), China (96.2%) and France (86.9%), reflecting the growing popularity of active travel across both Asia and Europe.

The conversations are becoming more engaging, too. While the number of posts has nearly doubled, comments have grown twelvefold compared with the previous year, demonstrating that active travel is encouraging richer conversations rather than simply more content. From destination tips to training advice and first-hand recommendations, travellers are helping one another discover their next active escape, creating a cycle where inspiration leads to bookings and every journey inspires the next.

As travellers continue looking for more meaningful ways to explore the world, active travel is evolving from a niche interest into a mainstream travel trend. Whether it is mastering a new skill, training for a personal goal or simply enjoying the outdoors, active experiences are helping people build stronger connections with destinations and with each other.

SÃO PAULO, Aug. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CATL is showcasing its full energy storage ecosystem at The Smarter E South America 2026 in São Paulo from August 25 to 27, demonstrating capabilities across the entire value chain, from cell R&D and energy management to project delivery and localized services. At the show, the company also announces a strategic partnership with Moura to jointly participate in Brazil's Capacity Reserve Auction for Energy Storage, reinforcing its commitment to the country's resilient and sustainable energy future.

A Storage Portfolio Engineered for Brazil's Energy Landscape

CATL is presenting a broad portfolio of large-scale storage solutions purpose-built to meet Brazil's evolving power market needs.

TENER S, CATL's next-generation energy storage solution, leads the lineup. Built to maximize long-term asset value, it delivers zero degradation in capacity and power over the first year of a 20-year design life. Its liquid cooling system cuts auxiliary power consumption by up to 20%, lowering operating costs. TENER S also increases areal energy density by 30% and reduces site footprint by 20%, lowering balance-of-system costs. For Brazil, where grid instability remains a persistent challenge, TENER S delivers the utility-scale capacity and long-term reliability the country needs for renewable integration. The system has already been selected for major global projects, including a 1.5 GWh project in Spain and a long-term service-backed deployment at the Supernode project in Australia.

For high-density utility and industrial/commercial applications, TENER H leverages 575 Ah cells to pack 9,008 kWh per container, boosting land utilization by 45% and cutting project costs where land is at a premium. It supports flexible 2-, 4-, and 8-hour configurations: the 2-hour option delivers fast response for grid stabilization, while the 4- and 8-hour versions achieve up to 96.0% round-trip efficiency to maximize long-duration returns.

CATL is also unveiling TENER Sodium in Brazil for the first time. Launched recently, this 30 MWh integrated sodium-ion system delivers a 20-year design life, 95% round-trip efficiency, stable operation from -20°C to +45°C, and IEC/UL/CE certifications. Beyond its advanced cells, the system features coordinated BMS, PCS, and thermal management optimized for sodium battery characteristics, enabling rapid deployment and site-level reliability.

TENER Sodium extends CATL's site-level engineering and full-lifecycle asset management capabilities into the sodium-ion domain—capabilities built through years of turnkey project deliveries worldwide and reinforced by the company's recently unveiled whole-station testing facility in Xiamen, which validates real-world grid-connected performance to ensure bankable results from day one. Together, these strengths underscore CATL's role as a leading comprehensive energy storage solution provider.

Rooted in Brazil, Partnering for the Long Run

"CATL's commitment to Brazil rests on three fundamental pillars: partnership, proven delivery, and localized service," said Ray See, Executive President of CATL's Americas Energy Storage Business Division. "While we provide world-class storage solutions, our broader mission is to build self-sustaining capabilities on the ground. By forging deep local alliances, executing with proven excellence, and equipping domestic talent with the expertise to take the lead, we establish a reliable support ecosystem that stands with our partners for the long run."

At the event, CATL announces a strategic partnership with Moura, a leading Brazilian battery manufacturer, for joint participation in Brazil's Capacity Reserve Auction for Energy Storage (LRCAP 2026 – National Storage) promoted by the Ministry of Mines and Energy. This collaboration combines CATL's advanced energy storage solutions with Moura's deep local expertise, with the support of a second strategic partner that holds the No. 1 market share in PCS/inverters in the country, aiming for localized production that complies with the auction's local content requirements.

The partnership builds on CATL's strong and growing foothold in Brazil, where the company already holds a 45% market share in energy storage. Its project portfolio spans utility transmission, agriculture, cold-chain logistics, and industrial facilities, including the landmark Registro project. As Brazil's first utility-scale battery energy storage system in the transmission sector, Registro has reliably supported a critical substation serving 15 cities and some 2 million residents since its commissioning in December 2022.

CATL's local commitment extends across the full lifecycle of its storage assets. Its South American service network includes five senior storage experts and more than 140 certified engineers, enabling a tiered response framework: one-hour remote support, two-day on-site dispatch, and five-day cross-regional expert escalation. Dedicated regional inventory, backed by four global core warehouses and over 50 front-end stocking points, guarantees core spare parts availability for up to 20 years. CATL also offers standardized training through its South American facility in Santiago, Chile, and operates regional recycling channels for compliant transport, dismantling, and material recovery at end of life.

Bringing Global Excellence and Recognized Bankability to Brazil

CATL's industry leadership has recently been underscored by three of the world's most influential energy sector evaluators. S&P Global Energy named CATL a Tier 1 supplier in both energy storage battery cells and systems for 2026, ranking it first globally by market share in each category. Wood Mackenzie awarded CATL an "A" grade and placed it among the top 3 in its inaugural Global BESS Integrator Comprehensive Ranking. BloombergNEF has included CATL on its Tier 1 Energy Storage List for 11 consecutive quarters since the ranking's inception in Q1 2024. Together, these endorsements validate CATL's comprehensive strengths in long-term reliability, stable delivery, and bankability across global markets.

This industry recognition is backed by strong financial and shipment performance. CATL's energy storage battery system revenue reached RMB 53.26 billion (approximately $7.9 billion) in the first half of 2026, up 87.54% year on year. According to SNE Research, the company shipped 125.0 GWh of ESS batteries in the period, capturing the world's largest market share.

Recent project successes further demonstrate CATL's full-lifecycle delivery capability. In May 2026, CATL and Solarpro brought online a 602 MWh project in Burgas, Bulgaria, now Eastern Europe's largest operational battery storage facility. In Australia, the Supernode project reached Stage 2 commercial operation in August 2026, while Stage 3 secured A$469 million in debt financing; CATL is supplying systems across all stages and providing long-term O&M support. In the United States, the 380 MW / 1,416 MWh Gemini solar-plus-storage project has been operational since July 2024 and completed US$760 million in refinancing in March 2026, a clear sign of investor confidence in CATL-equipped assets.
