Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2025-2026 Kicks Off: Collaborating with Young Generation to Shape the Future with AI
Calling on Hong Kong students to drive positive social impact and advance environmental sustainability through innovative use of technology and boundless creativity. Winning teams will have the opportunity to participate in Samsung internship or work experience programs.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 September 2025 – Samsung Electronics HK. Co. Ltd., the world’s leading technology company, announced the official launch of its annual inter-school technology competition, Solve for Tomorrow 2025-2026. Riding on the momentum of Artificial Intelligence (AI), this year’s competition challenges Hong Kong students to create innovative solutions for two specially designated topics: “Environmental Sustainability via Technology” and “Social Change through Sport & Tech” with AI and other technologies, plus their creativity, aiming to contribute to a better society.
Ms. Yiyin Zhao, Managing Director of Samsung Electronics HK. Co. Ltd., stated, “AI has developed rapidly over the past few years. Samsung is committed to improving users’ daily lives through various AI innovations, from the intelligent Galaxy AI on mobile devices to advanced AI functionalities in TVs and home appliances, all embodying our ‘AI for All’ vision. As AI development continues to accelerate and unlock endless opportunities for technological innovation, we hope to leverage Solve for Tomorrow to inspire young generations to harness AI with their boundless creativity, developing innovative solutions to address various social issues and build a brighter future.”
She continued, “As Samsung actively practices circular economy through initiatives like extending product lifecycle and recycling e-waste, we aim to use the topic of ‘Environmental Sustainability via Technology’ to guide students in considering how technology can positively impact our planet. At the same time, as a Worldwide Partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Samsung firmly believes that the integration of sports and technology can promote physical and mental well-being, inclusivity, and community welfare. The topic of ‘Social Change through Sport & Tech’ encourages the education sector to advance with the same innovative goals. Solve for Tomorrow is more than just a competition; it’s a platform where we expect students to nurture important skills such as problem-solving, creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. This will enable them to become the leaders of tomorrow, equipping them with technical knowledge, passion, and empathy. ”
Two Key Topics Encourage Students to Unleash Creativity
This year, Solve for Tomorrow focus on two important areas, allowing students to freely choose the field they wish to explore, and to bring innovative solutions to social problems using AI and other new technologies:
- Environmental Sustainability via Technology — Create sustainable solutions to protect our planet via AI: As environmental challenges intensify across the globe, Hong Kong faces a similar set of issues. This year’s competition encourages students to explore how AI and other technologies can be harnessed to reduce waste and pollution, extend the lifespan of products and materials, and even advance sustainable practices such as renewable energy and natural systems, building a greener future and truly fostering the development of a circular economy.
- Social Change through Sport & Tech: For Better Futures — Harness the power of AI technology and sports to open new opportunities: Sports have long been a powerful tool for fostering physical health, mental well-being, and community spirit. This year’s competition calls students to explore how technology and sports can serve as mediums for social change to promote physical and mental wellness, inclusion, community well-being, among other aspects, for our better future.
Multiple Elements Foster Learning During the Competition
In addition to setting two special topics, Solve for Tomorrow 2025-2026 also incorporates numerous elements that integrate learning into the competition:
- This year’s competition welcomes teams from primary schools, secondary schools, and tertiary institutions. It features generous prizes and awards, including an internship opportunity at Samsung for the tertiary group champion. In response to the Education Bureau’s “Business-School Partnership Programme”, the secondary group champion and first runners-up will receive work experience at Samsung. The school with the most shortlisted teams will also win the “Most Actively Participating School Award.”

The Reality of the Raya Rush
The lead-up to Raya is a whirlwind of grocery runs, deep cleaning, and late nights in the kitchen. By the time the first open house begins, most women have already put in an incredible amount of effort for their families. The quiet moments in between are not just a break. They are earned.
XIXILI’s pajamas are made for those moments. Easy to move in, soft enough to wear through the night, and the kind of pieces that make coming home feel like something to look forward to. Designed to fit a wide range of body types, every woman can find something that feels as good as it looks.
“Raya is everything. The food, the family, the laughter. And at the end of it all, she deserves to rest just as well as she celebrated,” says Tara Tan, Marketing Director at XIXILI.
Comfort That Carries Through the Season
Raya may bring the occasion, but the shift happening in Malaysian wardrobes goes further than that. Women are increasingly treating sleepwear as a considered part of their self-care, not just something to change into before bed.
“We often talk about the joy of gathering, but we rarely talk about the exhaustion that comes with it,” Tara Tan adds. “Our goal for Raya 2026 is to ensure that when the last guest leaves, every woman has a high-quality piece of loungewear to retreat into. It is about honouring the work she does by giving her the rest she deserves.”
Quality loungewear for the wind-down, the slow morning, and every quiet moment in between has become one of the most considered purchases a woman makes this season.
Made to Be Worn, Not Just Owned
Good sleepwear should not sit tucked away at the back of a drawer. It should be the first thing she reaches for at the end of a long day, worn in and looked forward to. XIXILI’s range is built for exactly that, styles that settle naturally into her routine and carry her well beyond the festive season.
The full sleepwear collection is available online and at XIXILI boutiques nationwide. To shop the range, visit www.xixili-intimates.com.Hashtag: #XIXILI

Specifically, in addition to the existing incentives currently available, customers who switch from old gasoline vehicles to new VinFast electric vehicles during the program period will receive an additional 3% discount for cars and 5% discount for scooters. The program will be applied across all four markets: Vietnam, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
In line with VinFast’s pioneering spirit, GSM Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company has also announced an immediate 10% reduction in fares for electric mobility services on the Xanh SM platform in Vietnam and Green SM in Indonesia from March 11 to March 31, 2026. This initiative offers customers a more environmentally-friendly and cost-effective transportation option.
The program may be extended depending on international developments and future fuel price movements.
Ms. Duong Thi Thu Trang, Deputy CEO of Global Sales, VinFast, stated: “The special ‘Trade Gas for Electric’ program launched in March across four key markets is VinFast’s timely response to geopolitical volatility that is affecting socio-economic conditions in many countries around the world. As one of the pioneering manufacturers leading the global electric vehicle revolution, VinFast together with companies in Vingroup’s green ecosystem aims to help reduce the impact of fuel prices on people’s daily lives while also lowering environmental pollution through smarter, more sustainable, and more cost-efficient mobility solutions.”
The special “Trade Gas for Electric” program will be implemented in parallel with and combined with other available incentive programs in each market. Through layered incentives, Vingroup and companies within its ecosystem aim to create favorable conditions for customers to transition quickly to electric vehicles, reduce dependence on gasoline, stabilize daily life, and contribute to building a cleaner and more civilized living environment.

Through the Academy, SUSS will provide opportunities for students from SUSS and other Singapore pre-tertiary and tertiary institutions to co-learn and co-innovate with peers in China.

In addition, the Academy will support SUSS in working with universities and organisations in China to jointly design and deliver industry-relevant courses and programmes for students and executives.
Extending engagement into Northeast China with Shenyang satellite office
To further deepen its engagement in Northeast China, SUSS will launch a satellite office in Shenyang on 11 March 2026 under the Success Academy in Chongqing. This office will support SUSS’ initiatives in Liaoning Province and surrounding areas, including Dalian. In addition, three Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) will be signed with the following organisations:

Professor Tan Tai Yong, President of SUSS, said, “China is an important partner for SUSS as we expand opportunities for our students and strengthen collaboration across Asia. The launch of the Success Academy in Chongqing allows us to work more closely with universities, industry and community partners in Western and Northeast China, and to deliver applied, practice-oriented education that responds to real-world needs. Our partnership with Raffles Young Academy reflects our shared commitment to developing future-ready talent and supporting professional growth across the region.”
Mr. Samuel Ng, Executive Chairman, RYA, said, “Our collaboration with the Singapore University of Social Sciences reflects a shared belief in applied, practice-oriented education and in preparing students and enterprises to navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
