Made-in-China.com “Special Exhibition” Event Concludes, Contributing to the Belt and Road Initiative

500NewsWire

China, Dec. 15, 2023 - ( 500NewsWire ) -- The recent Made-in-China.com “Special Exhibition” event, which led Chinese manufacturing companies to explore opportunities in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, has concluded. Online, Made-in-China.com built exclusive promotional pages for suppliers participating in the “Special Exhibition”. These pages showcased a diverse range of building materials and new energy products, strategically targeting buyers in the Middle East. Offline, Made-in-China.com organized Chinese companies to participate in local prominent exhibitions, conducted in-depth market research, visited local industrial parks for insights exchanges, and took part in the “Selected Sourcing Connect” conference. Saudi Arabia, as one of the pioneering supporters and participants of the Belt and Road Initiative, has witnessed a growing collaboration between the initiative and "Saudi Vision 2030". This alignment has resulted in an increased presence of Chinese companies in Saudi Arabia's infrastructure development projects. In Dammam, Saudi Arabia, the highly anticipated "Special Exhibition" kicked off, featuring the prominent participation of 40 Chinese enterprises led by Made-in-China.com at the Saudi International Construction & Interior Design Exhibition (CIDEX). This marked CIDEX's first opening to the Chinese market, with Made-in-China.com securing exclusive selling rights for the Chinese delegation and capturing core exhibition spaces, attracting widespread attention from exhibition attendees. Mr. Sayed Harunur Dashid, Project Manager at Habikon Trading & Gen Contracting, recently procured a batch of industrial electronic products through Made-in-China.com. He expressed, “Made-in-China.com helped me find satisfactory Chinese companies. If I were to rate their service on a scale of ten, I would give them a full ten! Whether in pre-sales or after-sales, there were dedicated personnel communicating with us, which made us very happy”. He also praised Made-in-China.com's search functionality for meeting his specific needs. At the exhibition site, “Special Exhibition” also drew attention from local Saudi media and government officials. Notably Abdulaziz Ahmed, the director of the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources in Saudi Arabia, made a special visit to the Made-in-China.com special exhibition to gain insights into the showcased products. Mr. Walid, Senior of CIDEX’s Exhibitions & Events Organizer, commented, “Made-in-China.com is quite an effective and easy way for connecting buyers with Chinese suppliers. One of the biggest advantages of manufacturing in China is that it's often low cost and of good quality, meeting the requirements of Saudi buyers”. The UAE, at the crossroads of the land and maritime Silk Road, was among the earliest countries to embrace the Belt and Road Initiative. As part of the “Special Exhibition”, Made-in-China.com not only participated in the renowned “Big 5” exhibition but also organized the “Selected Sourcing Connect in the UAE” conference at Hyatt Regency Dubai. Before the conference, a successful online matching process was implemented, connecting UAE buyers with Chinese enterprises. This innovative approach allowed for further targeted offline communications in Dubai. This approach effectively leveraged the strengths of Made-in-China.com both online and offline, facilitating global trade agreements. During the “Selected Sourcing Connect in the UAE” conference, Sarte Holdings LLC, a local real estate developer in Dubai, mainly procures materials related to energy-efficient construction. They engaged in in-depth negotiations with a new material company from Anhui Province during the conference. Sarte Holdings LLC expressed the intention to use WPC new materials in their upcoming projects. They have decided to conduct a second round of negotiations with the company after the Chinese New Year. A buyer with 40 years of trade experience in Dubai mentioned, “I purchased a spiral staircase through Made-in-China.com, and the quality is excellent, only at a quarter of the price in Europe”. By integrating online promotion, industry exhibitions, market research, industry exchanges, and buyer matchmaking, Made-in-China.com is innovatively combining business resources. In 2024, Made-in-China.com will focus on popular industries and international exhibitions, participating in events such as the Consumer Electronics Show, Hannover Messe, and the China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair). Through online and offline full-service solutions, Made-in-China.com will continue to assist buyers in accurately finding Chinese suppliers.

Massive Ripple (XRP) Projection by Van Winkle – Everlodge (ELDG) to Solve Key Issues in the $280T Real Estate Sector

Total Media

Crypto analyst that goes by Ripple Van Winkle on YouTube noted that the Ripple (XRP) crypto will see an influx of institutional money, and this, coupled with its deflationary properties could exponentially increase its price. Everlodge (ELDG) is also making significant waves among Web3 circles with its presale, as it solves key issues found in the $280 trillion real estate market that can make it a dominant force upon release. Today, we will dive into both projects to see how far they can rise, and will see what is the best cryptocurrency to invest in. Ripple (XRP) Nearly Breaks Past $0.70 – Can It Spike Above $1? XRP Right Now, the YouTube channel run by Ripple Van Winkle, recently uploaded a video going over how Ripple (XRP) can climb in value soon. Regulatory developments that will come in 2024 are seen as catalysts for this growth, as the Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) will pave the way for significant institutional investments. The analyst also cited comments made by Congressman Patrick McHenry predicting crypto regulations early next year. Throughout the past week, Ripple moved up in value from a low point of $0.60 to $0.69 and now needs to break past the $0.70 price barrier to reach new heights. In the past year, Ripple was up in value by a total of 58.4%. According to the Ripple price prediction, it can surge to $1.18 in 2024. Everlodge (ELDG) to Solve Key Issues in the Real Estate Sector Everlodge (ELDG) can disrupt the $280 trillion real estate market through solving key issues that have been a part of the industry for decades. Historically, most properties would cost millions of dollars in upfront capital, making them out of reach for most people. The market also lacks liquidity and transparency due to this. Everlodge will solve this by introducing blockchain technology that will lower the barrier of entry significantly. Properties will get minted as NFTs and will then be fractionalized into smaller pieces worth just $100 each. This way, anyone will be able to afford them, adding much-needed accessibility and liquidity to the market, as they can be resold at any time. Alongside this, the smart contract's metadata will store the ownership details, leading to higher transparency. The platform will even introduce a dedicated Launchpad, where builders can get funding from the community to build properties. Those who jump into these early can get access to high ROI opportunities. A Rewards Club will also be implemented, providing token holders with access to free nightly stays. Summary While Ripple will need some time to recover its value, analysts are still bullish on its future. Despite this, most traders are diversifying their holdings with Everlodge. Throughout its crypto ICO period, the ELDG token has reached Stage 8. Here, it is offered at $0.027. By solving issues such as liquidity, transparency, and accessibility, it will open up the real estate market to millions of people and can become a dominant force in the Web3 space, which could result in a major increase in the value of its native crypto.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) & Retik Finance (RETIK) Under the Spotlight, What to Expect in 2024?

Prodigy Press Wire

As the crypto market grows, discerning the true value of digital assets becomes increasingly complex. Amid this evolving landscape, two tokens - Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Retik Finance (RETIK) - stand out as potentially the most undervalued tokens for 2024. This article explores the factors that contribute to a token being undervalued and how SHIB and RETIK are well-positioned to surpass these limitations. Understanding Undervaluation in the Cryptocurrency Market A token is considered undervalued when its market price is less than its intrinsic value. This discrepancy can arise due to various factors, including market sentiment, lack of awareness, or misunderstandings about the token's utility and potential. Undervalued tokens often offer a significant opportunity for investors, as their prices can increase once the market recognizes their true worth. Click Here To Take Part In Retik Finance Presale Shiba Inu (SHIB): More Than Just a Memecoin Shiba Inu started as a memecoin, a crypto asset that originally needed more clarity or purpose other than being part of a community-driven movement. However, SHIB has evolved significantly since its inception. Ecosystem Development: Shiba Inu is no longer just a meme token; it's developing its ecosystem, including a decentralized exchange (ShibaSwap), NFT projects, and a budding metaverse project. These developments add tangible utility to SHIB, extending its value beyond mere speculation. Strong Community Support: The SHIB community, known as the SHIBArmy, is a powerful force in the crypto world. This community's support and enthusiasm can drive adoption and increase demand for SHIB. Market Sentiment and Adoption: Despite its growing ecosystem, SHIB is often still viewed through the lens of its origins as a memecoin. This perception has kept its price relatively low compared to its potential, marking it as an undervalued token. Retik Finance (RETIK): An Emerging DeFi Powerhouse Retik Finance is a relatively new player in the DeFi space but has already shown significant promise. Further, Retik Finance sets itself apart as more than just a token. It aims to transform DeFi with user-friendly features like a DeFi wallet, swap services, and a DeFi debit card, connecting traditional finance with decentralized solutions. Utility and Features: RETIK, the native token of Retik Finance, is integral to its DeFi ecosystem. It facilitates transactions, governance, and various other functionalities within the platform. This utility is often overlooked, leading to its undervaluation. Innovative DeFi Solutions: Retik Finance aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and DeFi. Its innovative solutions in areas like liquidity pools, staking, and decentralized lending position it as a valuable player in the DeFi space. Expert Predictions and Market Readiness: Unlike SHIB, which has huge tokens in circulation, Retik Finance is expected to have a more limited supply. This controlled distribution has the potential to create scarcity, thereby increasing demand. Experts predict that RETIK could surge by over 2000% before the year ends, fueled by its utility and the growth of the DeFi sector. $333k Mega Giveaway: Retik Finance is also running a significant giveaway, adding to its appeal. This giveaway not only attracts attention but also demonstrates the team’s confidence in the token's value and future. Further, Retik Finance has recently concluded its first stage of presale and has now progressed to stage 2. Priced at $0.040, the initial presale of Retik Finance has drawn significant attention, amassing a total of $842,815 at the time of writing. Click Here To Take Part In Retik Finance Presale The Undervaluation Factor: SHIB and RETIK Both SHIB and RETIK are currently undervalued for different reasons. For SHIB, it's a matter of evolving beyond its memecoin image, while for RETIK, it's about gaining recognition in a crowded DeFi market. However, both tokens possess strong fundamentals that could lead to significant price appreciation. Market Dynamics and Perception Shifts: As the market dynamics evolve and perceptions shift, both SHIB and RETIK stand to gain. For SHIB, broader adoption of its ecosystem could lead to a revaluation. For RETIK, increased awareness and understanding of its utility in the DeFi space could trigger a similar revaluation. Potential for Growth: Both SHIB and RETIK have substantial room for growth. SHIB's continued ecosystem development and RETIK's innovative DeFi solutions present opportunities for price appreciation as these developments gain traction and recognition. Investor Awareness and Smart Investing: As more investors become aware of the true potential of these tokens, demand is likely to increase. Smart investors are already taking positions, anticipating future gains based on the tokens' undervalued status. Conclusion: The Future Looks Bright for SHIB and RETIK SHIB and RETIK showcase interesting aspects, for investors seeking potential opportunities in tokens that may be undervalued. Each token brings unique features to its specific domain, with SHIB evolving from a meme to a utility token and RETIK making strides in the expanding DeFi market. As 2024 approaches, the potential for these tokens to appreciate is significant, driven by evolving market dynamics, growing ecosystems, and increased investor recognition of their true value. The combination of these factors and strategic initiatives like the Retik Finance giveaway positions SHIB and RETIK as smart investments for those looking to capitalize on undervalued assets in the crypto market.

A Look At Elicio Therapeutics’ (NASDAQ: ELTX) Pipeline: What Does This Cancer-Fighting Company Have In Store For The Future?

Benzinga

By Jeremy Golden, Benzinga Elicio Therapeutics Inc. (NYSE: ELTX) is using precision vaccines, immunomodulators and cell-based therapies to assemble cancer-killing immune responses against both blood and solid tumors. Founded in 2011, the company has developed an innovative pipeline of cancer immunotherapies addressing critical unmet needs. Three vaccine candidates are currently in Elicio Therapeutics’ pipeline: ELI-002, ELI-007 and ELI-008. ELI-002 is Elicio’s lead clinical program for Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) driven cancers caused by a mutation of the KRAS gene. Designed to stimulate an immune response against the seven KRAS mutations driving 25% of solid tumors, ELI-002 is currently being studied in AMPLIFY-201, a phase 1 dose-escalation study. A structurally novel Amphiphilic (AMP) therapeutic vaccine, ELI-002 is comprised of AMP-modified mutant KRAS peptide antigens and ELI-004, an AMP-modified immune-stimulatory oligonucleotide CpG adjuvant. The AMP mKRAS peptides and AMP CpG are targeted to the lymph node, with the goal of enhancing the action of key immune cells. A new formulation, ELI-002 7P, is currently being studied in AMPLIFY-7P, a phase 1/2 trial in patients with high relapse risk mKRAS-driven solid tumors. The ELI-002 7P formulation is designed to provide immune response coverage against seven of the most common KRAS mutations. This is increasing the prospective patient population for ELI-002 while potentially reducing the chance of bypass resistance mechanisms. Pre-Clinical Programs Elicio Therapeutics’ product candidate for BRAF-driven cancers, ELI-007 is a multivalent lymph node-targeted AMP-peptide vaccine directed at BRAF V600E mutations, which are present in 40% of melanoma, 10% of colon cancer and 2% of lung cancer diagnoses. Present-day small molecule inhibitors generate initial responses in BRAF V600E-mutated melanoma. These responses, however, are not sustained because of resistance due to alternative growth signaling pathways and the fact that few initial responses occur in BRAF-mutated colon cancer. ELI-007 draws on previous research and pre-clinical trial data that has shown that T cells can respond to the driver mutation V600E in BRAF. The transfer of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes that recognize mutated BRAF resulted in a durable complete response in a recent case study. The fact that the protein expression of BRAF V600E is maintained at high levels in these tumors suggests that they would be susceptible to T cells that are specific for the mutated BRAF. Like the KRAS mutations causing the type of cancer that ELI-002 aims to combat, mutations in p53 are found in a large number and wide variety of cancers, accounting for approximately 60% of patients with solid tumors. An AMP-peptide vaccine targeting p53 hotspot mutations could potentially expand and mature tumor-specific T cells through enhanced delivery and immune stimulation in draining lymph nodes to generate tumor-specific immunity capable of eliminating tumor tissue. That is the approach of ELI-008, which stands out as a multivalent lymph node-targeted AMP-peptide vaccine directed at p53 hotspot mutations. ELI-008 is being developed to target hotspot mutations in p53 in solid tumors including colorectal cancer, melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Elicio Therapeutics is leading the charge toward treating cancer through vaccination. By combining expertise in immunology and immunotherapy, Elicio is precisely targeting and fully engaging the lymph nodes, the site in our bodies where the immune response to cancer is orchestrated.

Healthcare Data Startup Patientory, Inc. Partners With WIVA For Capital

Patientory

Patientory, Inc.,a healthcare data startup, is partnering with students at the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Initiative's Wharton Impact Venture Associates (WIVA) in a capital raise. The WIVA team exclusively invests on WeFunder, where Patientory already raised an ambitious target of $50,000 on the crowdfunding platform that enables non-accredited investors with limited capital to invest in promising early-stage startups with as little as $100. Investors who back the company enter into a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE), which grants them the right to obtain equity in the company at a future date if it sells shares in a future financing round. Students at WIVA helped connect Patientory to WeFunder after digging deeper into the healthcare industry and discovering the huge challenges associated with fragmented data. Data from the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors shows that approximately 40% of American adults suffer from chronic illnesses, meaning they regularly interact with different parts of the U.S. healthcare system. This results in their healthcare data being scattered across multiple systems. Because hospitals and clinicians store patient’s data in siloed medical systems, it becomes difficult for healthcare practitioners to share this data efficiently. As a result, an estimated 80% of healthcare data is not readily accessible for quality patient care, while the 20% that can be accessed is often monetized without patient consent. Patientory has developed an innovative healthcare AI and data platform powered by blockchain to solve the industry’s problems around data accessibility, especially patients’ controlling their health information. It aims to revolutionize the way healthcare data is managed and shared through two novel solutions. The Patientory Consumer Health Data Wallet enables patients to securely store, share and even monetize their health data, while the Neith Enterprise Dashboard is an analytics portal that enables healthcare stakeholders to mine shared and de-identified consumer health data from the Patientory blockchain network. By providing patients with a simple way to securely store, share and access their health data, Patientory delivers AI-based recommendations to consumers, allowing them to improve their health. In addition, it’s able to match consumers to suitable clinical trials and cost-effective drugs. WIVA gives students real-world experience in impact investing, teaching them how to identify potentially impactful startups. As part of this research, WIVA students conduct a detailed financial and impact analysis on the startups they identify, interview their founders, and help connect them with investors. WIVA student Talia Cohen, W'24, identified Patientory for its potential to improve healthcare outcomes and make a positive impact on the lives of patients. Beyond that impact, Cohen’s team was impressed with Patientory’s financial sustainability. To date, Patientory counts more than 45,000 subscribers to its platform and has generated over $4 million in pharma clinical trial contracts. “As someone who grew up with two parents who were healthcare professionals, I understood the importance of healthcare data and how it can impact patients' lives. I was impressed by Patientory's commitment to giving patients control over their medical data and enabling secure data exchange among healthcare stakeholders,” Cohen explained. “We’re excited to seek the backing of WeFunder’s investment community. Healthcare data is the foundation for improving healthcare around the world,” said Patientory founder Chrissa McFarlane. About Patientory Incorporated in 2015, Patientory Inc. offers a blockchain-based, HIPAA-compliant software platform. Through its two decentralized applications, the NEITH enterprise-focused web portal and the Patientory mobile app, Patientory Inc. empowers patients, medical professionals, and healthcare organizations to securely access, store, and exchange health information in real time with the highest levels of security. As the founding member of the Patientory Association, Patientory Inc. is powered by the PTOYMatrix blockchain network, which facilitates the secure and encrypted storage and exchange of health data.
