SINGAPORE, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A new movement of youth leadership is quietly, but firmly taking root in Singapore. The Next Generation Philanthropy Leadership Program, initiated by the Singapore Good Soil Foundation, is not just a scholarship-based summer camp only open to students admitted through outstanding applications and rigorous interviews; it is a week-long immersive learning journey. Talented students from around the world gather in Singapore to rethink the true meaning of leadership, service, and social impact.
From Classroom to Community
The curriculum for 2025 continues to revolve around three core themes: Mission, Leadership, and Impact. Zack Cao, a High School Senior student and Co-Founder of the NextGen Program, along with Judy Xu, Kureha Kasahara and Taiga Sanjo returned to the class this year to volunteer as Teaching Assistants, and all delivered speeches, encouraging young learners to engage meaningfully with society, create community initiatives, and shared firsthand experiences in serving the community. Over five days, students faced the challenges of leading change in a complex world through masterclasses by international experts, visits to social innovation institutions, and discussions with policymakers.
Nurturing the Next Generation of Changemakers
At the heart of the program lies the student team project. Each group is tasked with identifying an urgent social issue and creating an innovative, practical solution. Ideas spanned a wide range: from AI-powered mental health tools to bridging educational gaps through technology, companionship, and communication. With close mentorship from leaders in industry, academia, and government, students refined their proposals, tested their assumptions, and presented confidently on graduation day. In that moment, they were not merely contestants, but proof that youth can be both the dreamers and the pioneers driving transformative change.
In Singapore, seeds are being planted in these young people of diverse nationalities and backgrounds: the seeds of a new generation of changemakers. They embody both vision and empathy, seeing leadership not as power, but as responsibility. For all who witnessed the journey, one truth became clear:
The future has already arrived, and it will be led by these young leaders.
Looking ahead, the Next Generation Philanthropy Leadership Program envisions itself as an international initiative that aims to empower young people worldwide. Beginning in Asia, the summer camp will be hosted in different countries and cities every two years, offering youth from all corners of the world the opportunity to be a part of this transformative journey.

GUANGZHOU, China, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ma Jun, Vice President and Chief Science Innovation Officer of Infinitus (China) Company Ltd., was invited to attend the Functional Food Conference 2026 (FFC 2026), held recently in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, where he delivered a keynote presentation. In his remarks, Ma outlined the company's research foundation and ongoing innovation in the functional food sector, highlighting findings from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical study of its flagship product, Zengjian Oral Liquid, which demonstrated its efficacy in enhancing human immune function.
Themed "Functional Foods and Human Health," this year's conference was jointly organized by the FFC Organizing Committee and the National Engineering Research Center of Functional Food at Jiangnan University, among others. The event brought together more than 3,000 industry specialists, business representatives, and researchers from China and abroad to explore key topics including scientific innovation, product development, and industry trends in functional foods. Widely recognized as a leading professional exchange platform in China's functional food sector, the conference serves as a key forum for industry exchange and development.
In his presentation, Ma provided a comprehensive overview of Infinitus's user-centric research framework and outlined the company's scientific approach and practical pathway for validating product efficacy. He noted that Infinitus consistently places consumers at the center of its efficacy research, drawing on advancements in herbal science to establish a robust system spanning material foundations, precise evaluation, and gold-standard validation. Building on its established work in cellular studies, model organisms, and animal research, the company continues to expand human evidence-based research, relying on rigorous scientific data to validate product performance and support more consistent industry practices.
At the conference, Infinitus also presented clinical trial findings on Zengjian Oral Liquid, marking a significant milestone in its evidence-based research efforts. The study employed a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled design—widely regarded in evidence-based medicine as the gold standard—aimed at rigorously assessing the product's ability to support human immune function in real-world settings.
According to the study findings[1], after 45 days of taking Zengjian Oral Liquid, participants' Immune Vitality Index (SIV) increased significantly from Level 3 to Level 4, with more pronounced improvements observed among women and individuals aged 55 and above. After 90 days, subjects showed a notable rise in immune reserve cells (naive CD8+ T cells), along with substantial increases in immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM levels. These results demonstrate the product's ability to strengthen immune reserves and enhance the body's defense capacity, providing scientific support for its role in immune regulation.
As a company with a long-standing focus on the herbal health sector, Infinitus remains committed to applying principles from established wellness practices alongside modern scientific methods to explore the health benefits of herbal ingredients. The company has established an integrated innovation system spanning research, technology, and product development across the full value chain. At the conference, Infinitus presented its latest research and outlined its approach to product development, contributing to ongoing discussions within the functional food sector.
Looking ahead, Infinitus will continue to invest in herbal science, with a strong focus on evolving consumer health needs. The company aims to develop more high-quality, reliable herbal health products while strengthening evidence-based research to align with evolving industry expectations. Through these efforts, Infinitus seeks to deliver more targeted health solutions and support broader public health outcomes.
