Published

on

JAKARTA, INDONESIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 August 2026 – V-Green Indonesia and PT HK Realtindo (HKR) have signed a strategic cooperation agreement to develop an integrated EV Charging Hub in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta. The partnership marks a significant milestone in the strategic collaboration between V-Green and Hutama Karya Group, HKR’s parent company, as the two parties work together to pioneer a flagship EV charging hub model and accelerate the development of a comprehensive green mobility ecosystem across Indonesia.

Representatives of V-Green Indonesia and PT HK Realtindo (HKR) at the signing ceremony of an agreement to develop the EV Charging Hub in Kemayoran, Jakarta.

Under the agreement, V-Green Indonesia will lease an 8,747-square-meter site owned by PT HK Realtindo (HKR) to develop the EV Charging Hub in Kemayoran. The model is particularly well suited for large land parcels, enabling landowners to optimize underutilized real estate assets and generate sustainable long-term revenue while allowing V-Green to rapidly expand its charging infrastructure network at strategic locations.

The EV Charging Hub is a large-scale charging infrastructure model that integrates multiple services within a single location to simultaneously serve the needs of individual EV owners, commercial fleet operators, and ride-hailing drivers. Scheduled to commence operations in October this year, VinFast’s EV Charging Hub in Kemayoran will feature 36 EV chargers and 20 battery swapping stations for electric motorcycles, with the capacity to serve up to 56 electric cars and 220 electric motorcycles simultaneously.

In addition to fast-charging facilities for electric cars and battery swapping stations for electric motorcycles, the project will include dedicated parking areas for commercial fleets, rooftop solar panels to supplement on-site renewable energy generation, and a range of customer amenities such as rest areas, food and beverage outlets, and cafés.

The agreement with HKR represents the first major milestone following the Memorandum of Understanding signed between V-Green Indonesia and Hutama Karya Group in April 2026. Under the MoU, the two parties agreed to jointly explore the development of EV Charging Hubs on Hutama Karya’s strategic land assets, while also collaborating to develop EV charging infrastructure across 29 rest areas along the Trans-Sumatra Toll Road.

In the next phase, V-Green plans to deploy EV chargers across these 29 rest areas, creating a large-scale charging network along one of Indonesia’s key highway corridors and making long-distance EV travel more convenient for users.

Mr. Ekwan Hadyanto, President Director of PT HK Realtindo, said: “Our partnership with V-Green opens up new opportunities to maximize the value of HK Realtindo’s land assets while demonstrating our commitment to supporting the Indonesian Government’s efforts to accelerate sustainable transportation infrastructure. We expect the Kemayoran project to become the foundation for expanding our collaboration across many other strategic locations nationwide.”

Mr. Mai Truong Giang, CEO of V-Green Indonesia, said: “Signing this agreement with PT HK Realtindo marks an important milestone in realizing V-Green’s strategy to develop EV infrastructure throughout Indonesia. We believe the EV Charging Hub model will not only meet the country’s rapidly growing demand for EV charging but also create sustainable value for V-Green’s partners while contributing to Indonesia’s green transition.”

The Kemayoran project is expected to serve as a flagship integrated EV Charging Hub model in Indonesia, laying the foundation for V-Green to gradually replicate the concept across other strategic HK Group locations. Beyond enhancing the EV ownership experience, the model also creates new opportunities to unlock the value of strategically located land assets while establishing modern infrastructure hubs that support Indonesia’s transport electrification.

The partnership with Hutama Karya, one of Indonesia’s largest infrastructure groups, further reinforces V-Green’s strategy of collaborating with leading local partners to build a modern, integrated, and accessible EV charging network across the country.

Globally, V-Green is rapidly expanding its electric vehicle charging network, which now comprises more than 150,000 charging ports, alongside battery swapping stations for electric motorcycles. In Indonesia, the Company has introduced a range of attractive incentives for users, including free charging for all VinFast electric car owners and a complimentary battery swapping program for VinFast electric motorcycles for one year, with up to 20 battery swaps per vehicle per month. Through these initiatives, V-Green aims to accelerate the adoption of electric mobility while contributing to regional and global decarbonization efforts and sustainable development.

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 August 2026 – On August 8, China’s 18th National Fitness Day, the opening ceremony of the 17th Beijing Sports Games was held at the National Indoor Stadium, with many champion athletes on hand to lend support.

A performance at the opening ceremony of the 17th Beijing Sports Games

The city is the arena, and its citizens are the athletes. This edition of the Games balances competitive and mass participation events, featuring both traditional disciplines like athletics and swimming, and emerging sports such as pickleball and breakdancing. Some events have already concluded or are currently underway, with all competitions running through October this year. This city‑wide sports extravaganza is expected to attract around 35,000 participants, including teenagers, college students, and the general public, setting new records in both the number of participants and events.

In recent years, Beijing has continuously integrated sports development into the fabric of the city. According to data from the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau, the city has 3.27 square metres of sports venue space per capita, and 53.1% of its population regularly participates in physical exercise. Sports and fitness have become a new way of life in Beijing, the “Dual Olympic City.” Yin Shen, a 20‑year‑old football enthusiast, told reporters after watching the ceremony that he found the mass participation content more relatable than purely competitive events. “It’s great to see so many sports that ordinary people usually play. Sports are actually all around us,” Yin said.

At the opening ceremony, 14 champion athletes trained in Beijing—Ma Long, Zhang Yining, Ding Ning, Wang Chuqin, Xiao Ruoteng, Teng Haibin, Li Na, Cao Yuan, Zhang Jiaqi, Chang Hao, Yang Ling, Liu Xiaotong, Zhang Zesen, and Zhang Ruiyang—were present to inspire more people to take up sports. Zhang Yining said, “I am especially grateful to Beijing, where I realised my dreams. I also hope that more children who love sports will hold on to their dreams. Beijing is a place where dreams come true.”

Innovative Health Management Platform LIVE4WELL’s “Purple Wellness Day” Concludes Successfully

Causeway Bay Pilot Spearheads Citywide Preventive Healthcare, Echoing Primary Healthcare Agenda

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 August 2026 – Faced with the dual challenges of a steady rise in chronic disease rates and the immense pressure borne by public health resources in Hong Kong, putting preventive healthcare into practice has become a matter of urgency. To actively respond to the Government’s direction of strengthening primary healthcare and district-based service delivery, innovative health management platform LIVE4WELL has picked Causeway Bay as its first community pilot site, demonstrating its vision and practice in contributing to public health. Working with district organizations, the initiative enabled nearly 1,000 members of the public to experience non-invasive, painless and rapid screening. By combining artificial intelligence (AI) with big data, the platform encourages the public to take ownership of their own Bio-wealth Assessment Data, to identify and address potential health risks early.

Innovative health management platform LIVE4WELL has picked Causeway Bay as its first community pilot site, demonstrating its vision and practice in contributing to public health. Working with district organizations, the initiative enabled nearly 1,000 members of the public to experience non-invasive, painless and rapid screening.

As a community force, LIVE4WELL has also submitted policy recommendations to the HKSAR Government, spanning the smarter use of AI in health assessment, the rollout of non-invasive community outreach screening, the inclusion of inflammatory markers in community-level screening, and extending Chinese and Western medicine collaboration into the aspect of wearable devices, thereby supporting the HKSAR Government in aligning with the National 15th Five-Year Plan and the policy direction for the year ahead.

Business and District Leaders Aim to Fill the Gap in Advancing Chronic Disease Prevention and Control

LIVE4WELL’s six-day “Purple Wellness Day”, a public health screening experience event held in Causeway Bay from August 5 to 10, came to a successful close today. The event transformed a shopping mall space into an innovative health exploration hub, bringing together a wide range of top-tier health screening devices from Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, and overseas, more than 20 healthy-living partner merchants and various star speakers, enriching the public’s journey of health exploration.

Ms. Miranda WONG, Co-founder, LIVE4WELL, said, “The management of chronic diseases should never begin only after the onset of illness. As a digital health partner, LIVE4WELL builds on the Government’s primary healthcare policy framework to provide the public with more proactive and accessible preventive healthcare support. By integrating AI and big data technologies into retail and community settings, we are making non-invasive screening part of everyday life, rather than medical procedures that feel out of reach. At its core, this is our long-term commitment to health management and social care — whether it is identifying chronic disease risks early in elderly family members, or helping younger generations catch issues like pre-diabetes in time. We hope technology can make ‘early detection, early management’ a part of everyone’s daily life, rather than something people come to regret only after their condition has worsened.”

Mr. LEE Man-lung, Joey, MH, Chairman of Centre Stage Squarer and Wan Chai District Council Member, who attended the opening event and arranged for district residents to take part, said, “Screening that is non-invasive, painless, and delivers results instantly is a major breakthrough in AI technology — one that goes beyond technological progress but more importantly, gives businesses the capacity to create health assessment tools that are more beneficial and relatable to people’s lives. Health assessment is no longer a tedious questionnaire or cold clinical equipment, it is a new experience of conversing with one’s own body. The event is an excellent demonstration of how community organizations can harness technology to expand district health support services, building a low-cost and easily accessible health platform for the elderly and grassroots families. It is an approach well worth other organizations emulating.”

Non-invasive Screening Helps the General Public in Early Identification of Multiple Potential Health Risks

To encourage citizens to take the first step toward self-health management, approximately 300 free screening slots were reserved during the event, allowing people in need to experience a range of non-invasive, rapid and precise AI health screening, and to receive personalized health reports and expert interpretation on the spot. Visitors took part in non-invasive thematic areas across seven exploration zones, covering liver and kidney metabolism, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and retinal condition, blood glucose and metabolic risks, cell vitality and inflammation, musculoskeletal and postural health assessments, stress and mental balance, as well as hearing and blood pressure. After completing the journey, LIVE4WELL shared with participants a comprehensive body report that clearly presented their individual health indicators and risk assessments.

The event also featured more than 20 free expert health talks, attended by a cumulative total of nearly 500 participants, covering topics such as chronic disease prevention, nutrition, sleep, emotional well-being and mind-body health, reflecting the public’s increasingly keen demand for proactive self-health management.

From the Causeway Bay Pilot to a Health Vision for All 18 Districts

Held at the SOGO Causeway Bay store, “Purple Wellness Day” was LIVE4WELL’s first pilot scheme in bringing health technology into the community. Demonstrating at one of the city’s busiest commercial landmarks, the event exemplified how professional health management services can be seamlessly integrated into everyday life. Looking ahead, LIVE4WELL hopes to extend this successful model to all 18 districts of Hong Kong, deepening collaboration with community organizations such as District Councils, Care Teams, residents’ associations and district service groups to widen the reach of preventive healthcare. LIVE4WELL is actively connecting with more enterprises and brands that share its vision, so that through corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and in its positioning as a digital health partner, it can contribute to Hong Kong’s primary healthcare development and realize the vision of “boosting health for all 18 districts”.

Aligning with Hong Kong’s First Five-Year Plan to Jointly Build a Forward-Looking Healthy City

In recent years, the Hong Kong Government has continued to strengthen primary healthcare services, promote preventive healthcare, and enhance community-based support for the elderly and of chronic diseases in its Policy Addresses and long-term healthcare planning. As Hong Kong formulates its First Five-Year Plan and proactively aligns with the National 15th Five-Year Plan, LIVE4WELL, as a community force, is also committed to contributing its strengths through concrete action. LIVE4WELL believes that AI- and data-driven preventive healthcare technology, coupled with the strengths of the private sector and the community, can complement the public healthcare system. When the public achieves “early detection, early management”, the pressure on the public healthcare system can be gradually alleviated, enabling a sustainable health ecosystem for Hong Kong.

To build a healthier city in the long run, LIVE4WELL recommends progressively introducing inflammatory markers as a new dimension of health monitoring, building on existing health screening. Chronic inflammation is often closely associated with chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Continuous tracking of inflammatory markers allows high-risk individuals to be identified early and followed up in a timely manner, easing the long-term healthcare pressure on Hong Kong.

Given that many citizens have a certain degree of resistance to, or psychological burden associated with, invasive tests such as blood draws, LIVE4WELL believes that the authorities should make good use of AI health assessment tools and roll out non-invasive community outreach screening to raise public participation. Combining existing screening with comprehensive health data analysis would help forecast healthcare demand. LIVE4WELL further recommends that the authorities continue to promote collaboration between Chinese and Western medicine to strengthen Hong Kong’s preventive healthcare system.

LIVE4WELL encourages the public to make good use of wearable devices to continuously track their personal health data, in step with the Government’s promotion for collaboration between Chinese and Western medicine — putting into practice the preventive care approach of “Chinese medicine for prevention, Western medicine for treatment” where TCM-based recuperation works hand-in-hand with Western medical diagnosis and treatment.
