HONG KONG, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Metis Global Group (Metis) has long been committed to corporate social responsibility (CSR), actively engaging in charitable healthcare initiatives and rural education development, striving to build a more compassionate and inclusive society. This year, Metis has further extended its influence into the realm of contemporary art, becoming a key sponsor of the UPWARD – Huang Yulong exhibition. In collaboration with Great Entertainment Group and the renowned gallery Ora-Ora, Metis aims to integrate art into everyday life, igniting fresh imagination and a vibrant creative energy.
20 Monumental Sculptures Transform the Urban Landscape into a Canvas
UPWARD – Huang Yulong is a groundbreaking exhibition that fuses street culture with contemporary sculpture, presented from 12 to 31 March at the Hong Kong Observation Wheel and AIA Vitality Park. Acclaimed artist Huang Yulong, known for his collaboration with international superstar Andy Lau on the Share the Love sculpture series, now presents 20 monumental sculptures. Centred around his signature hooded figure, these works serve as a powerful visual language, embodying themes of openness, diversity, community, and youth engagement.
These sculptures, standing tall with their heads lifted towards the sky, symbolise a fearless attitude towards challenges and an embrace of hope. They embody the spirit of resilience and boundless possibility, values that align with Metis' philosophy. At Metis, we believe that innovation and breakthroughs are not only the driving forces behind corporate growth but also essential catalysts for social progress. Guided by this vision, we have expanded from Hong Kong to the Asia-Pacific region, actively contributing to charitable healthcare, rural education, and cultural development. By sponsoring this renowned exhibition, Metis invites the public to experience the energy of sculptures, to feel the pulse of the era, and be inspired to fearlessly explore their own journeys and pursue their aspirations.
Corporate Engagement in Art: Expanding Cultural Influence for the Future
Dr Cheung, Founder and Chairman of Metis, stated: "This sponsorship of a contemporary art exhibition is an extension of our CSR strategy. Art and business are both rooted in innovation and value creation. Through this sponsorship, we hope to support outstanding artists, foster more profound engagement with the public, and ensure the lasting influence of culture into the future."
From healthcare and education to cultural development, Metis has remained steadfast in its commitment to giving back to society through meaningful action. By sponsoring UPWARD – Huang Yulong, we aim to inspire more enterprises to recognise the value of cultural assets and to see contemporary art as not just an artistic expression, but as a powerful catalyst for social innovation and shared values. Just as UPWARD – Huang Yulong captures the aspirations of our time through sculpture, Metis translates these values into action, working hand in hand with the art world to shape the spirit of our era and envision a better future. Through this sponsorship, we hope to set an example and encourage broader support for emerging industries and young creative talent, fostering a shared movement towards progress and leveraging art as a transformative force in defining the values of our time.

Metis Sponsors UPWARD - Huang Yulong: Shaping the Values of Our Time Through Art
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, March 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Anker Innovations, a global leader in mobile charging and consumer electronics, is redefining the boundaries of innovation with its latest campaign, Charge Up, SEA!—an electrifying fusion of augmented reality (AR) and computer-generated imagery (CGI) set to energize Southeast Asia. These experiences allow users to interact with technology and explore the future of charging, reinforcing Anker's leadership in global innovation.
"At Anker, our mission is to ignite possibilities through ultimate innovation," said Leon Wu, General Manager of Southeast Asia at Anker Innovations. "We've not only created products that lead the industry in performance but also ones that fundamentally change the way people engage with power. This campaign reflects our vision of an interconnected world where innovation enhances the everyday lives of Southeast Asia consumers."
Revolutionizing Charging with Anker
At the core of Charge Up, SEA! is Anker's most advanced charging lineup to date, the Anker Prime Series. This revolutionary series redefines multi-device fast charging, offering a powerful, intelligent, and interactive solution that transforms what was once a passive task into an engaging experience. Designed with extensive user insights, the Anker Prime Series is engineered to be the ultimate power source for today's fast-paced, tech-driven world, empowering users with speed, efficiency, and innovation.
This innovation powers Charge Up, SEA!, an AR-driven journey that brings Anker's cutting-edge technology to life by "charging" iconic landmarks across Southeast Asia. The visual narrative of the campaign showcases Anker Prime chargers energizing these landmarks, reflecting the brand's commitment to efficient and intelligent charging solutions. Through advanced AR technology, Anker's innovations seamlessly integrate into the cityscapes, reinforcing its position as the leader in next-generation charging while reshaping how users experience power in an increasingly connected world.
Lights Up the City's landmark with Ultimate Innovation
Starting February 27, "Charge Up, SEA!" will light up five countries—Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam—through immersive digital storytelling and interactive experiences. In Singapore and Malaysia, users will have the exclusive opportunity to experience Anker's AR world in person at key landmarks, while all five countries will engage with high-quality CGI videos that bring Anker Prime to life. These experiences allow users to interact with technology and explore the future of charging, reinforcing Anker's leadership in global innovation.
For the Charge Up, SEA! campaign, Anker will launch a futuristic CGI video in Vietnam. The creative concept features the supertall Landmark 81 skyscraper in Ho Chi Minh City as a physical backdrop, seamlessly integrating Anker's innovative technology with local culture, resulting in a visually striking fusion of cutting-edge technology and heritage.
In this CGI video, Anker innovatively creates a stunning virtual space, with the Anker 30W Zolo Charger acting as the key to unlock this realm. The charger powers up the Landmark 81, and thanks to its outstanding temperature control, the space is immediately enveloped in polar ice and snow. This transformation sparks an innovative interaction between the landmark and the virtual world. To further energize the virtual space, the Anker 25,000mAh 165W Power Bank, the Anker 140W Charger, and the Anker Prime 250W GaN Desktop Charger deliver a continuous flow of high-speed power, keeping the experience alive.
Engaging with the dynamic world, consumers will witness how Anker's advanced charging technology seamlessly integrates into this digital universe, providing a truly futuristic experience and a glimpse into the future of connected, intelligent charging.
