“Veterinary Orthopedic Guardian”: European Veterinary Surgeon Dr. Hannah Partners With VEC Hong Kong
Bringing Extensive European Experience to Lead Advanced Orthopaedic Surgeries and Elevate Pet Surgical Care
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 October 2025 – Veterinary Emergency Centre, Hong Kong (VEC) today announces the enhancement of its advanced orthopaedic services to further meet the local demand for advanced surgical care for pets. The centre’s orthopaedic surgeries will be led by Dr. Hannah Holmes, a senior veterinarian with over 20 years of international experience. Combining her expertise with VEC’s advanced diagnostic equipment and 24-hour critical care team, the service is dedicated to providing more precise and comprehensive treatment plans for pets suffering from bone and joint issues, helping them overcome pain and regain their vitality.
As a leading veterinary institution in Hong Kong, VEC has long provided 24-hour emergency, critical care, surgical, general practice, and hospitalization services. The centre is equipped with state-of-the-art medical facilities, including operating theatres, an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), a CT scanner, X-ray, and various ultrasound capabilities, ensuring the most accurate diagnoses in critical situations. Its 24-hour emergency service operates with a professional triage system to ensure that urgent cases, such as accidental fractures, are treated immediately to secure the golden hour of treatment. This round-the-clock critical care and monitoring capability provides the safest and most solid foundation for performing complex orthopaedic surgeries.
Advanced Equipment and Inter-Team Collaboration Enhance Surgical Outcomes
VEC’s orthopaedic service is built on a foundation of advanced medical technology and close team collaboration. The centre utilizes the internationally recognized Securos™ orthopaedic supplies, providing a wide range of high-quality plating systems, pins, and external fixation options for various fracture repairs and joint stabilization procedures. Before surgery, the veterinary team can use the on-site CT scanner to obtain detailed three-dimensional images, providing crucial information for creating precise surgical plans.
VEC performs well over a hundred orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeries each year, with common cases including fracture repairs and patellar luxation corrections in small-breed dogs. Dr. Hannah notes, “At VEC, orthopaedic patients benefit from the support of our ICU and hospital team. The team stabilizes critical animals before their procedures and provides intensive post-operative monitoring and care, ensuring that even our most complex cases are managed safely throughout the entire process.”
“One of the memorable cases I worked on was a young cat, Tun Tun, who arrived at our ER in critical condition after a high-rise fall, suffering from internal bleeding and multiple fractures. Thanks to the intensive care from our ICU team, against all odds, Tun Tun was stabilized and successfully underwent fracture repair surgery. The seamless collaboration of the VEC team was key to his remarkable recovery, transforming him back into a playful, mischievous cat,” shares Dr. Hannah.VEC also has a house call team that can follow up on a patient’s recovery in the comfort of their own home.
Internationally Experienced Veterinarian Joins, Infusing Professionalism and Compassion
Dr. Hannah Holmes’ arrival brings even greater professional strength to VEC’s orthopaedic services. Growing up in Scotland, Dr. Hannah graduated from the world-renowned Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh in 2004. Her career has taken her across the UK and Australia, .and she has also volunteered in countries with limited veterinary resources—including trips to the Cook Islands, Botswana, and Indonesia—to contribute to animal welfare, accumulating extensive experience in handling a wide variety of complex cases.
“I was drawn to the challenge of repairing what was broken and restoring function in surgery, but what truly inspires me is the transformation I see in my patients — from arriving in pain and distress to walking, running, and showing joy again after surgery,” says Dr. Hannah. She has chosen to remain a general practitioner with a surgical bias rather than a specialist, allowing her to not only perform the surgeries she loves but also to provide continuous care for her patients, building trust and relationships with pet owners. Outside of work, she is a passionate ice and rock climber. She believes the focus, precision, and problem-solving under pressure required for climbing mirror the demands of surgery, which deepens her appreciation for mobility and strength—the very things she strives to restore for her patients.
Addressing common misconceptions among pet owners, Dr. Hannah advises, “Limping is almost always a sign of pain. Animals are very good at hiding it, and even a minor limp can reflect an underlying problem that should be checked. Similarly, stiffness in older pets is not just an accepted sign of ageing. Through supplements, medication, and sometimes surgery, there is a lot we can do to significantly improve their quality of life.”
Dr. Hannah also addresses a common myth regarding brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds like Pugs and French Bulldogs. ‘Many owners believe their dog’s noisy breathing is ‘normal for the breed.’ In fact, this noise is a sign of restricted airflow and can have serious long-term consequences. Surgery can make a huge difference—improving breathing, exercise tolerance, and overall quality of life.

Linklogis Releases 2025 Annual Results: Total Volume of Processed Supply Chain Assets Exceeds RMB500 Billion, Unveiling the “SC+ Platform”
In addition, Linklogis has always placed shareholder interests at the core of its corporate governance, rewarding investors’ trust through sustained and tangible actions. In August 2025, the Board approved a new share repurchase program of no less than US$80 million to be implemented over a one-year period. Under this repurchase program, the company has cumulatively repurchased shares totaling HK$365 million (approximately US$47 million), demonstrating its confidence in its long-term value through concrete actions.
Focusing on Core Business, Accelerating Business Structure Optimization
In 2025, Linklogis remained focused on its core business and accelerated the optimization of its business structure. The total volume of supply chain assets processed by its technology solutions reached RMB508.1 billion, up 27% year-on-year. With a market share of 22%, the company ranked first in the industry for the sixth consecutive year. The number of anchor enterprises served increased to 3,145, including 54 of China’s Top 100 enterprises and 151 of China’s Top 500 enterprises, while the number of financial institution partners reached 428, further improving the efficiency of industry-finance collaboration.
Linklogis’ supply chain finance technology solutions include Anchor Cloud, which consists of Multi-tier Transfer Cloud, AMS Cloud and Treasury Cloud, as well as FI Cloud, which consists of ABS Cloud and eChain Cloud. In 2025, the total volume of supply chain assets processed by Anchor Cloud reached RMB369.6 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 31%. The total volume of supply chain assets processed by Multi-tier Transfer Cloud reached RMB304.2 billion, surging 47% year-on-year, with its contribution to the group’s total asset volume rising from 52% in 2024 to 60% in 2025. The total volume of supply chain assets processed by AMS Cloud, however, was RMB65.4 billion, down 13% year-on-year due to the continued decline in issuance volume in the supply chain asset securitization market.
The total volume of supply chain assets processed by FI Cloud reached RMB128.9 billion, up 20% year-on-year. Both ABS Cloud and eChain Cloud recorded solid double-digit growth in transaction volume, contributing to a 25% year-on-year increase in FI Cloud revenue. In the ABS Cloud segment, the total volume of supply chain assets processed reached RMB69.1 billion, rising 28% year-on-year. In the eChain Cloud segment, the total volume of supply chain assets processed reached RMB59.7 billion, increasing 13% year-on-year.
Linklogis focused on six key industries, including infrastructure and construction, new energy and advanced manufacturing, and worked with its subsidiary Bytter Technology to deepen targeted cross-selling, achieving breakthroughs in high-quality customer acquisition. Leveraging its one-stop comprehensive industrial-finance solutions and innovative scenario-based applications, Linklogis worked with a number of central and state-owned enterprises and leading private enterprises, including Shougang Group, China Coal Mine Construction Group Corporation and JA Solar Technology, to launch integrated industrial-finance platform projects. At the same time, it provided targeted support to 17 high-quality enterprises, including Shanghai Construction Group, Yunnan Construction and Investment Holding Group and Luzhou Laojiao, covering scenarios such as order financing, bill collateral, and supply chain bill transfer, supporting coordinated growth in both scale and value creation.
Building the “Second Growth Curve”, Unlocking Global Trade Finance Potential
2025 marked a pivotal year for Linklogis’ international business as the company embarked on a new chapter and accelerated the development of its “second growth curve.” During the year, Linklogis officially launched a comprehensive rebranding of its international business, introducing “Unloq” as its new identity for the global market, reflecting its vision of unlocking the potential and efficiency of global trade finance. Guided by a core strategy centered on cross-border trade corridors, scenario-based finance and technology-driven risk management, Unloq is committed to building a globally connected digital supply chain finance platform with strong local execution capabilities.
In line with its core strategy, the company has leveraged its cloud-native technology to launch the innovative “SC+ Platform”, designed to connect global real-world trade with digital finance. The “SC+” signifies its core function of connecting smart contracts with compliant digital payment instruments, forming a technology-enabled solution for global trade finance. The platform is dedicated to building the next-generation digital infrastructure for global trade finance and addressing systemic challenges in cross-border trade, including credit verification, fund turnover, and clearing and settlement efficiency. Through the platform, funders can utilize various compliant payment methods to purchase trade receivables.
To date, Unloq has completed the deployment of the core architecture of the SC+ Platform. Working with multiple commercial partners, Unloq has advanced the rollout of innovative applications leveraging compliant digital payment methods. In 2025, Linklogis successfully secured the bid for a Web3.0-based supply chain finance platform project for a leading central state-owned enterprise, marking a new milestone in its technological capabilities and industry recognition in the field of digital trade infrastructure.
In its international business, Unloq accelerated the expansion of cross-border trade services. In addition to traditional B2B goods trade, cross-border e-commerce and online travel agencies, it also expanded into cross-border logistics, bringing the total number of platform customers to 1,550, representing a net year-on-year increase of 451. With the deeper penetration of the SC+ Platform in cross-border trade finance, the continued expansion of its global localized service network, and the accelerated integration of solutions supporting Chinese enterprises’ overseas expansion, Linklogis’ cross-border and international business is expected to enter a phase of exponential growth in both asset volume and revenue in 2026, embarking on a new chapter of high-quality and sustainable development.
Advancing the “AI-powered Industrial Finance” Strategy: From Internal Empowerment to Industry Value Co-Creation
Linklogis remains committed to its “AI-powered Industrial Finance” strategy and continues to promote the deep integration of AI with supply chain finance across the entire value chain. Built on years of technological expertise and scenario-based refinement, its AI capabilities have evolved from internal productivity tools into a sophisticated intelligence engine that empowers the entire industrial ecosystem. By deeply integrating leading domestic large language models with its proprietary supply chain finance scenario knowledge graph and multimodal business elements, the company has systematically advanced the ongoing iteration and capability enhancement of its self-developed vertical model, LDP-GPT. Building on this foundation, Linklogis has developed the “BeeLink AI Agent” product matrix, covering more than ten core scenarios including intelligent trade document checking, intelligent PBOC registration, intelligent KYC, and intelligent risk management.
In 2025, BeeLink AI Agent continued to deliver breakthroughs in market penetration and commercialization. The number of customers served rose to 42, including domestic and overseas financial institutions and industry leaders such as Standard Chartered Bank, Bank of Hangzhou, and China Electrical Equipment Finance. Processing efficiency improved by 20 times, while accuracy in key processes reached 99%. As AI continues to evolve toward an agent-based paradigm, Linklogis will take “AI Agent+” as a strategic lever to comprehensively upgrade BeeLink AI Agent from functional tools to intelligent collaboration. It will prioritize breakthroughs in advanced capabilities such as cross-system task coordination, natural-language interactive decision-making, and adaptive workflow optimization, enabling customers to move from point intelligence to enterprise-wide intelligence, and from business insights to intelligent decision-making, thereby delivering end-to-end value across the entire value chain.
Linklogis actively responded to China’s “dual carbon” strategy and high-quality development agenda by embedding ESG principles into product innovation and the entire service lifecycle, leveraging technology to advance green finance, inclusive finance, and sustainable development. In 2025, the volume of sustainable supply chain assets served by the company exceeded RMB66.8 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 80%, with its share of total serviced assets rising from 9% in 2024 to 13% in 2025. During the year, SMEs that obtained financing through Linklogis Supply Chain Multi-tier AR Transfer Platform benefited from an average financing cost of only 2.85%. The company continued to deepen its presence in four key sectors—renewable energy, rural revitalization, environmental protection, and public health—while further expanding into sustainable sectors such as the new energy vehicle supply chain, green buildings, and the circular economy. Through these initiatives, it directed financial resources more precisely to key segments that generate both green and low-carbon benefits and strong social impact, gradually building a broader and more influential sustainable development ecosystem that integrates industry and finance.
Expanding Full-scenario Deployment, Enhancing the Smart Industrial Finance Treasury Product Matrix
Through the acquisition of Bytter Technology, Linklogis made a strategic entry into the corporate treasury management sector. By synergizing management teams and business operations, the company successfully established the Treasury Cloud product line, providing diverse customers with end-to-end treasury management services covering settlement operations, cash planning, financing management, risk monitoring, and intelligent decision-making. As a key component of Linklogis’ “Smart Industrial Finance Treasury” strategy, Treasury Cloud is anchored by a dual-engine approach powered by AI and data, and has established a comprehensive product matrix, including the F1 treasury management system and T6 cash management system for anchor enterprises, the bank treasury system for financial institutions, and the Yingzilian SaaS platform for SMEs.
Since September 11, 2025, Bytter Technology has been consolidated into the group’s financial statements. The integration of the Treasury Cloud business has been fully completed. Linklogis will continue to deepen resources integration and business collaboration between Treasury Cloud and the group’s other supply chain finance technology businesses in areas such as product R&D, channel expansion and customer service. The company will accelerate the development of an integrated, intelligent and scalable Smart Industrial Finance Treasury platform, providing customers with one-stop digital solutions covering treasury management and industrial-finance collaboration.
Charles Song, founder, Chairman and CEO of Linklogis, said: “The year 2026 marks the tenth anniversary of Linklogis. As we stand at the threshold of a new decade, we will remain firmly committed to a core strategy of being technology-driven and globally connected, while steadfastly advancing our dual-engine approach of deepening domestic industrial finance and expanding global digital trade. We will seize opportunities amid transformation and strengthen our competitive advantages through innovation. In the domestic market, we will continue to advance the “AI-powered Industrial Finance” strategy. Anchored by the comprehensive upgrade of BeeLink AI Agent, we will accelerate AI’s evolution from scenario-based enablement to ecosystem-level collaboration. At the same time, leveraging our full-stack capabilities in Smart Industrial Finance Treasury solutions, we will continue to refine our integrated one-stop solutions, consolidate our market leadership, and ensure the steady growth of our core business. In international markets, we will accelerate the expansion of global cross-border digital trade networks through Unloq and roll out the SC+ Platform along key global trade corridors. We aim to become a key builder and connector in the ongoing digital and intelligent transformation of global trade finance. The future is already unfolding. Only the adaptable can prevail, and only the persistent can go the distance. With technology as our oar and industry as our vessel, Linklogis will continue to join forces with our partners, embarking together on the magnificent journey toward a digital and intelligent future for global industrial finance.”
