The moves position the November event as a broader meeting point for food-loss reduction efforts across the Asia-Pacific packaging supply chain.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 7, 2026 -- Messe München will stage bauma Shanghai 2026 across two Pudong venues simultaneously, marking the first time the construction machinery trade fair has operated in a "one show, two venues" format. The Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center runs from 23 to 26 November 2026, while the Shanghai New International Expo Centre operates from 24 to 27 November. Both sites run under a unified exhibition concept and product portfolio spanning construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines and construction vehicles. Komatsu, LiuGong and Sunward Intelligent are among the confirmed exhibitors, with booth applications from domestic and international companies described as having exceeded advance expectations.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - March 17, 2026 - Grandprint (Shengda) has expanded its web-to-print operations by purchasing six additional Speedmaster CX 92 presses from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (HEIDELBERG). The move continues what HEIDELBERG describes as a sustained investment cycle by the printer in digital and hybrid technologies from HEIDELBERG and Gallus. For commercial leaders and production managers, the purchase signals added conventional press capacity aligned with hybrid workflows, aimed at meeting demand patterns tied to packaging and label work in China. It also indicates continued capital deployment into equipment that can support web-to-print-driven order volumes and turnaround expectations.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - December 19, 2025 - Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) has struck a potential $1B-plus partnership with Harbour BioMed to collaborate on next-generation multi-specific antibody programs, underscoring how China-based innovation is increasingly shaping global biologics dealmaking.

Deal scope and economics in brief
BMS will pay $90 million upfront to work with Harbour on developing and advancing multi-specific antibody therapies, with additional development and commercial milestones that could total up to $1.035 billion. The partners did not disclose how many programs are covered, nor did they specify initial targets, indications, or therapeutic areas.

For business development teams and portfolio planners, the structure reflects a familiar "platform-plus-programs" model: BMS buys early discovery leverage and optionality, while Harbour positions itself for milestone upside and downstream royalties if programs progress.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - December 15, 2025 - Dubai Airshow 2025 opened at Dubai World Central with the Middle East debut of two of China's homegrown C919 aircraft, signaling a higher-profile push by Chinese aerospace players to showcase commercial, unmanned, and next-generation aviation technologies to global buyers.

C919 debut puts China's narrowbody on a new international stage
At the 19th edition of the Dubai Airshow, the appearance of the C919 marked its first showing in the Middle East, with a flight demonstration at the venue. The aircraft's presence matters beyond the air display: for airlines, lessors, MRO providers, and airport stakeholders, international showcases help shape early market perception around supply-chain maturity, support ecosystems, and longer-term export ambitions.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - December 15, 2025 - ARIDGE has introduced new details on its next-generation A868 flying car concept and confirmed fresh progress at its flying car manufacturing plant, as the company positions two flight systems to serve different segments of China's emerging low-altitude mobility market.

Two flight systems target distinct low-altitude travel needs
ARIDGE framed the low-altitude economy as the next major growth frontier following new energy vehicles, and outlined a dual-product strategy built around different operating missions. The company is developing:

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - December 15, 2025 - XPENG AEROHT, the flying car affiliate of Chinese EV maker XPENG, has begun trial production at what it describes as the world's first intelligent factory for mass-produced flying cars-an operational milestone as next-generation mobility moves from prototypes to industrial output.

Trial production signals a commercialization inflection point
The company started trial production on November 3, 2025, positioning the facility as a bridge between engineering validation and repeatable manufacturing. For the broader eVTOL and "low-altitude mobility" ecosystem, factory readiness matters because it shifts the discussion from flight demonstrations to supply chains, quality systems, and scalable assembly-areas that typically determine whether new vehicle categories can reach customers on schedule.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - December 15, 2025 - Shanghai is sharpening its push to become a leading center for merger-and-acquisition activity, as the 2025 Mergers and Acquisitions Finance Conference spotlighted stronger regional deal momentum and unveiled a new market index intended to track China's evolving M&A environment.

Policy momentum behind listed-company restructuring
The conference took place as Shanghai marks one year since releasing a three-year action plan aimed at supporting M&A among listed firms. In practical terms, the message to corporate leaders and capital providers is clear: policy alignment and financial-market infrastructure are being positioned to support more transactions that improve efficiency, accelerate industrial upgrading, and strengthen competitiveness in key sectors.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - December 10, 2025 - Pfizer Inc. is expanding its cardiometabolic ambitions through an exclusive global collaboration and license agreement with YaoPharma, a subsidiary of Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical, to develop, manufacture and commercialize YP05002, an oral GLP-1 receptor agonist currently in Phase 1 for chronic weight management. The deal strengthens Pfizer's position in the fast-moving obesity field and adds a differentiated small-molecule asset to its portfolio of metabolic disease candidates.

Strategic Bet on Small-Molecule GLP-1 in Obesity

Under the agreement, China-based YaoPharma will complete an ongoing Phase 1 study of YP05002 before transferring global development and commercialization rights to Pfizer. For Pfizer, the asset fits neatly into a strategy that aims to pair novel mechanisms with scalable, oral delivery formats for obesity and adjacent cardiometabolic conditions.
