Published

VinoBuzz closed angel round at US$10M valuation, gained 1,000+ registered users in two weeks of beta, and redefines wine discovery with 10‑second matching, 1‑minute event planning, and hour‑delivery of over 4,000 wines.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 April 2026 – VinoBuzz, the Hong Kong’s first AI‑agent and marketplace for wine, today announced it has raised an angel investment round at a US$10 million valuation. In just two weeks since its beta launch, the platform has already attracted over 1,000 registered users – a feat rarely seen in Hong Kong’s traditional, offline‑first wine industry. VinoBuzz is rapidly becoming the go‑to solution for busy professionals who demand speed, transparency, and personalization.

A technology revolution is sweeping Hong Kong. For food and dining, the city has Foodpanda and Keeta. For transportation, it has Uber. But for drinks – specifically wine – less than 10% of purchases are made online. The wine market remains one of the least digitized sectors in Hong Kong. VinoBuzz is changing that. As the leading tech platform for wine, the company is delivering a brand‑new experience built for the smart living era. Its tagline: “Drink Different.”

By combining AI agents with a unified multi‑merchant marketplace, VinoBuzz eliminates the three biggest pain points of wine buying: lack of knowledge, time-consuming, and opaque pricing. The platform offers three industry‑first features:

  • 10‑Second Wine Matching – Users simply tell the AI their taste, occasion, and budget. In 10 seconds, VinoBuzz recommends the perfect bottle – no wine knowledge required.
  • 1‑Minute Event Planning – For parties, corporate gatherings, or private dinners, input pax, theme, budget, and preferences. The AI instantly curates a complete beverage list and places the order.
  • Direct Wine Research (No Filter) – The fastest, smartest way to search any bottle available in Hong Kong. Users get unbiased, transparent information – no sales pressure, no hidden agenda.

“Hong Kong’s wine market is world‑class, but the buying experience has remained stuck in the last century – overwhelming, time‑consuming, and often intimidating,” said Zack Chen, CEO and Founder of VinoBuzz. “We built VinoBuzz to be the first true AI agent for wine: a personal sommelier that learns your taste, finds the perfect bottle in seconds, and delivers it within hours. This US$10 million valuation validates our vision and proves that the market is ready for a disruptor.”

VinoBuzz already lists over 4,000 unique wine SKUs from Hong Kong’s top importers and merchants, as one of Hong Kong’s top wine marketplaces. Orders are delivered via temperature‑controlled logistics as fast as 4 hours – making it one of the fastest and most convenient online wine purchasing options in the city. The platform’s rapid user acquisition, with 1,000+ registered users in only two weeks, expending its SKU to over 4000 wine bottles, signals a pent‑up demand for a modern, AI‑native wine marketplace in Hong Kong.

As Singapore CBD office rents rise for a fifth consecutive quarter and vacancy hits a record low, CoWorkSpace aims to shield members from rent increases that flex operators typically pass through.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 May 2026 – CoWorkSpace is conveniently located at 6 Raffles Quay #16-01, occupying an entire floor within the office tower and comprising more than 50 private suites designed for startups, SMEs, and established corporations across shipping, financial intermediaries, family offices, professional services, business consultancy, technology, and trade-related industries.

The building is linked to both Raffles Place and Downtown MRT stations via fully sheltered underground walkways, allowing members and their visitors to reach the office without exposure to Singapore’s heat or rain.
Unlike other industry players, CoWorkSpace owns the property it operates from. This owner-operated model provides members with the option of medium to long-term price stability and reduces the risks commonly associated with leased coworking spaces, such as sudden closures, forced relocations, and aggressive rental increases.
The facility is configured mainly as private suites, with no hot-desks and no virtual office members. Members on dedicated-desk arrangements are situated within private suites, providing greater privacy and a more professional working environment.
Each suite is equipped with electronic height-adjustable desks, modern office chairs, and pedestal cabinets according to the suite configuration. Data points are also included within each suite.
Shared facilities include an expansive business lounge, business-grade internet, reception services, meeting rooms and call booths, printing, scanning and shredding facilities, and utilities.
In addition, CoWorkSpace operates an in-house IT team that manages its network and infrastructure directly, enabling faster response and turnaround times for IT-related matters without relying on third-party vendors.

“Made in Binzhou” Heads to Tianzhou-10 Cargo Spacecraft——Binzhou Sci-Tech Power Embarks on a Hardcore Space Mission

Published

on

BINZHOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 May 2026 – On May 11, experimental samples for the project “Study on the Effect of Rotating Magnetic Field on the Solidification Process of Aluminum-based Lightweight High-entropy Alloys under Space Microgravity Conditions” were officially launched aboard the Tianzhou-10 cargo spacecraft. Co-developed with the Metal Materials Center of Binzhou Weiqiao UCAS Advanced Technology Research Institute, these samples are now en route to China’s Manned Space Station to begin their on-orbit scientific journey in a microgravity environment.

Researchers conducting project experiments

This initiative is a collaborative effort involving the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS), the National Space Science Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Binzhou Weiqiao UCAS High Technology Research Institute. The successful launch marks a historic “zero-to-one” breakthrough, representing the first time private sci-tech forces from Binzhou and indeed Shandong province have reached space. It also stands as China’s first in-space experiment to study the solidification of lightweight high-entropy alloys under the dual-field coupling of “microgravity and rotating magnetic fields.”

As a national-level “space laboratory,” the manned space station hosts world-class research facilities and serves as a core platform for disruptive innovation in new materials. This successful deployment not only highlights the institute’s cutting-edge research capabilities but also signifies a deep integration between corporate scientific research and national aerospace engineering. Looking ahead, the institute will continue its deep dive into frontier fields such as space materials and lightweight alloys. By strengthening collaborative innovation across industry, academia, and research, they aim to empower the upgrading of the new materials industry with technological innovation, contributing both wisdom and strength to the development of China’s manned space program and the cultivation of new quality productive forces.
