Exploring European Expansion Opportunities for China’s Manufacturing and Logistics Industry
Cushman & Wakefield Hosts “Europe Unlocked” Summits in Shanghai and Guangzhou
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 June 2026 – This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the European Union. The principles of mutual respect, openness, cooperation, and win-win outcomes have long defined China–EU collaboration, laying a solid foundation for Chinese manufacturing enterprises expanding overseas.
Europe has now become a key strategic destination for Chinese companies going global, backed by its high-quality consumer markets, abundant labor force, mature industrial supply chains, and well-established legal framework. In response, Cushman & Wakefield hosted summits on the topic of Europe Unlocked — New Opportunities for China’s Manufacturing & Logistics Industry in Shanghai on June 2 and in Guangzhou on June 4, 2026.
These summits brought together Cushman & Wakefield’s industrial real estate experts from Europe, APAC and Greater China, along with representatives and leading industrial park enterprises from the United Kingdom, Germany, Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic. The events provided in-depth insights into the characteristics and advantages of European industrial investment and key industrial park investment opportunities, and attracted broad interest and participation from corporate representatives.
Matthew Bouw, Chief Executive, APAC & EMEA, Cushman & Wakefield, opened the Guangzhou summit and said: “Leveraging our global platform to bring our logistics and industrial sector leads to China to provide in-person intelligence on the current dynamics and strategic opportunities across Europe’s markets is what Cushman & Wakefield is all about. The trading relationship between China and Europe is long established, and is now entering a new phase, as opportunities in e-commerce continue to evolve. Our significant investment in our digital ecosystem, including all things data, analytics, and AI, together with our local brokers’ deep market expertise, is helping clients make well informed, data-driven decisions to drive value for their businesses. It has been our pleasure to partner with our leading European developer clients to host these summits – and we look forward to continuing this working relationship going forward.”
KK Chiu, Chief Executive, Greater China, Cushman & Wakefield, commented: “Over the past five years, European investment in China has continued to grow steadily, with countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and Switzerland recording double-digit growth. European companies’ deep familiarity with China’s industrial supply chains also provides strong support for Chinese enterprises to expand into Europe and integrate into local markets. At the same time, Chinese enterprises are increasingly adopting a more strategic and long-term approach to overseas expansion, with greater emphasis on operational resilience, regional diversification, and proximity to customers. Through hosting Europe Unlocked summits, we aim to provide practical market insights and local expertise to help companies better navigate Europe’s diverse industrial landscape and make more informed expansion decisions”
Europe continues to attract strong interest from Chinese enterprises: Chinese inward investment into Europe reached almost €17 billion in 2025, up 67% on 2024 volumes and accounting for nearly a quarter of total global Chinese FDI in 2025[1]. European logistics and industrial markets show positive signs for businesses looking to locate in Europe with occupational demand rallying over the past year, availability of real estate options having grown in many markets since 2022 and developers keen to deliver more high-standard buildings to the market. Additionally, investor conviction in the asset class in Europe remains high with more capital being raised in 2025 to deploy specifically into logistics and industrial real estate assets in Europe than any other single sector[2].
Michael Carson, Head of Supply Chain & Logistics Consulting, APAC & EMEA, Cushman & Wakefield, added: “We’ve built strong credentials in core industrial markets across the region, including Germany, the UK and Eastern Europe. With deep experience, strong connectivity and best in class tools, we will help China manufacturing and logistics enterprises grow business and expand strategically into new markets across the globe.”
Tony Su, Managing Director and Head of Industrial & Logistics Services, China, Cushman & Wakefield, noted: “In recent years, we have drawn on our global resources and professional expertise to successfully support multiple enterprises in entering the European market. We have also assisted dozens of multinational companies in establishing operations in China. Looking ahead, we will continue to leverage our strengths to support the global expansion of Chinese manufacturing and logistics enterprises, providing efficient and professional on-the-ground services.”

A Defining Milestone for Gene Solutions: SPOT-MAS Multi-Cancer Screening Test Receives U.S. FDA Breakthrough Device Designation
The proposed indications for use describe SPOT-MAS 10 as a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test performed on plasma derived from a single direct-draw venous whole blood specimen. The test analyzes circulating cell-free DNA methylation and fragmentomic signatures using a machine-learning-based algorithm to detect a cancer-associated signal. It is intended for use as an adjunctive screening test in asymptomatic adults aged 40 years and older to assist in detecting cancers within the scope of the assay. These include five common cancers — breast, lung, liver, colorectal and gastric cancers — and five aggressive, less common cancers that currently lack standard screening methods — ovarian, pancreatic, esophageal, endometrial and head & neck cancers.
SPOT-MAS has been developed through years of rigorous scientific research and clinical development. In March 2025, SPOT-MAS became the first multi-cancer screening blood test in Asia to complete a large prospective cohort validation, with the K-DETEK study evaluating more than 9,000 asymptomatic participants and demonstrating strong performance, including high specificity and the ability to identify cancer-associated signals across multiple cancer types.
Since then, SPOT-MAS has been used in more than 100,000 individuals in real-world practice, with consistent performance observed beyond controlled study settings. Real-world data were presented at ESMO Asia 2025 and were featured at ASCO Breakthrough 2026 in Singapore.
The platform is built on a multi-omic approach— integrating genetics, epigenetics, and fragmentomics — together with AI-driven analysis, large-scale prospective validation, growing real-world evidence and focus on cancer types with high clinical relevance in the regions where the test is deployed.
For the United States, Breakthrough Device Designation provides Gene Solutions with a prioritized channel of engagement with the FDA as the company advances its U.S. development and validation plans.
Looking ahead, Gene Solutions will continue to collaborate with academic, clinical, laboratory, commercial and strategic partners to support responsible adoption of SPOT-MAS in accordance with local regulations, clinical guidelines and best practices.
Important Regulatory Notice: SPOT-MAS 10 has received U.S. FDA Breakthrough Device Designation. Breakthrough Device Designation is not FDA approval, clearance or marketing authorization. The device remains subject to applicable FDA regulatory review requirements, and the designation does not guarantee future FDA approval, clearance or authorization.

St Francis Methodist School International Shares 2023–2024 WACE Outcomes and Student Journeys
Overview of the WACE Curriculum at SFMS
SFMS International is among a small number of institutions in Singapore offering the WACE curriculum and has delivered this programme for over 23 years. The WACE is a recognised senior secondary qualification awarded by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Western Australia. It prepares students for university admission both locally and internationally.
SFMS is also currently the only school in Singapore offering a Senior High Preparatory Pathway (WACE) for students in Years 9–10. This introduces students to the structure and expectations of the curriculum earlier, building familiarity with subject content and assessment formats before progressing to the senior years. Additionally, subject selection in Years 11A and 12A is structured to meet university entry requirements and reflect students’ academic interests.
Academic Outcomes and University Placements
In 2023, 8 out of 12 WACE graduates from SFMS International achieved ATAR scores above 90, meeting the eligibility criteria for universities such as the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The cohort’s top scorer, Wang Dawei, recorded an ATAR of 96.15 and enrolled at NTU to study Business and International Trading. In addition to local placements, graduates were admitted to international universities such as the University of Melbourne and Fudan University in China.
In 2024, 2 out of 8 graduates also attained ATAR scores above 90. The highest scorer, Youn Chae-Won, achieved an ATAR of 95.3. Her university placement is currently pending.
Student Journeys and Holistic Development
Students in the WACE programme at SFMS International engage in both academic and co-curricular activities as part of their overall learning experience. Recent graduates have taken part in service learning, subject specialisation, and personal reflection throughout their time in the pre-university programme.
Youn Chae-Won, the 2024 valedictorian, joined SFMS International from Korea in 2021. Over time, she adjusted to a new academic environment and explored subjects such as accounting, which influenced her interest in finance-related pathways. She also took part in various aspects of school life, including a service learning trip to Bintan in 2023, where students supported local sanitation efforts. Her involvement in both academic and co-curricular settings marked a broad engagement with school life during her time at SFMS.
Andrew Zhuang, who enrolled in SFMS International in 2019, pursued subjects such as Business Management, Accounting, and English as an Additional Language (EALD). Beyond academics, he was involved in community fundraising and joined the same Bintan service trip. He also attended weekly chapel sessions and received support from peers and teachers during a period of health-related absence.
These outcomes reflect the ongoing role of the WACE programme at SFMS International in supporting students through both academic pathways and broader educational experiences. Under the leadership of Principal Mr Lee Hak Boon, the school continues to emphasise academic planning, subject selection, and student wellbeing as part of its overall approach to pre-university education.
