HONG KONG, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Young Financial Planners Association (YFPA) successfully held its inaugural "YFPA Financial Education Forum – Money Monkey FinEd Forum" on 28 March 2026 at CyberArena, Cyberport. The Forum marked one of the Association's flagship annual financial education initiatives and was organised in support of the territory-wide "Hong Kong Money Month" campaign led by the Investor and Financial Education Council (IFEC).
Through professional dialogue and interactive exchange, the Forum aimed to enhance public financial knowledge and promote sound financial values across different sectors of society.
The event attracted over 170 students, educators, invited guests and members of the public. The atmosphere was vibrant and highly engaging. The Forum was also broadcast live on social media platforms, enabling wider community participation.

Distinguished Host and Esteemed Panelists
In-Depth Dialogue on Five Key Financial Themes

- Prof. Christina YU Wai Mui
- Mr. Francis KWOK Sze-Chi
- Prof. Amy YEUNG
- Prof. Simon LEE Siu Po
Representing expertise across academic research, market practice, economic analysis and youth education, the panel offered forward-looking insights and practical advice from multiple perspectives.
The discussion focused on five core themes:
- Savings planning and fundamentals of financial management
- Personal investment strategies and risk management
- Women's financial management and evolving consumption patterns
- Macroeconomic trends analysis
- Greater Bay Area development opportunities and youth positioning
By integrating professional theory with real-world experience, the speakers unpacked complex economic topics in an accessible and engaging manner, helping participants build a structured and practical financial mindset. The Q&A session saw enthusiastic participation from students and attendees, reflecting the Forum's high level of engagement and interactivity.
Strong Support from the Education Sector
Youth Experience the Power of Financial Knowledge Firsthand
The Forum received strong support from various schools, including Yan Chai Hospital Tung Chi Ying Memorial Secondary School and TWGHs Kwok Yat Wai College, which organised teachers and students to attend. Students were highly attentive throughout the sessions and actively participated in discussions, demonstrating strong interest in financial planning and economic issues.
The venue adopted an interactive stage format, moving beyond the traditional one-way seminar model. This setup fostered an open, relaxed and inspiring exchange environment, making financial education more relatable to young people and their daily lives.
Founder's Vision
Building Financial Literacy as a Foundation for Youth Development
Mr. Kingsley Yee, Chairman and Founder of YFPA, shared the Association's founding vision and development journey during the Forum. He emphasised that financial education goes beyond money management—it is a fundamental life skill that cultivates responsibility, planning ability and long-term vision.
"Young people who establish sound financial values and habits early in life will enhance their personal competitiveness and contribute to overall economic stability and sustainable development in society," he said.
YFPA will continue to promote financial literacy through diversified programmes and cross-sector collaborations, benefiting more young people and families in the years ahead.
Continuing to Advance Financial Literacy in Society
Founded in 2022, YFPA is a charitable institution exempt from tax under Section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance. The Association is dedicated to enhancing youth financial literacy as its core mission. In recognition of its contributions and achievements in youth financial education, YFPA was honoured with the "Investor and Financial Education Award" by the IFEC in 2024 and 2025.
The successful launch of the inaugural Financial Education Forum marks a significant milestone in YFPA's journey to promote financial literacy. Moving forward, YFPA will continue responding to societal needs by advancing financial knowledge that is accessible, professional and youth-oriented, nurturing a new generation equipped with strong financial capabilities.

BEIJING, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LONGi has officially unveiled its LONGi ONE integrated solar-plus-storage strategy, marking a transition from traditional multi-vendor architectures to a unified system design.
A Shift from Fragmentation to Integration
As solar energy establishes itself as a core pillar of the global energy system, conventional "assembled" solutions are increasingly constrained by efficiency losses, complex commissioning, and unclear accountability. LONGi ONE addresses these challenges through full-stack, self-developed native integration, combining advanced BC solar technology with 5S storage technology to deliver a unified, high-performance "Solar Generator."
One System, One Platform, One Responsibility
LONGi ONE is built upon three core principles: One System, One Platform, and One Responsibility.
Its natively integrated architecture reduces system losses, enhances performance, and shortens deployment timelines. The AI-driven platform enables coordinated optimization across generation, storage, and consumption.
Equally important, the One Responsibility principle redefines accountability in solar-storage systems. Instead of managing multiple vendors, customers work with a single partner—LONGi—across the entire lifecycle. This eliminates fragmented interfaces, avoids responsibility gaps, and ensures faster issue resolution with clear ownership.
A Comprehensive Product Portfolio
LONGi ONE delivers tailored solutions for two key market segments: utility-scale and commercial & industrial (C&I) applications.
For utility-scale projects, OneBank 2.0 offers a fully integrated AC/DC storage solution featuring advanced safety design. Its proprietary iCCS technology enables millisecond-scale fault detection and isolation, reducing system-level failure rates by 60% and cutting pre-commissioning time by over 30%.
OneMatrix 2.0 provides a flexible, modular approach for plant-level deployment, supporting multiple duration scenarios (2h/4h/8h) while reducing deployment time by 20-30% and lowering lifecycle costs.
For C&I users, Hi-MO One—paired with the EnergyOne platform—delivers 24.8% module efficiency and up to 90.3% system efficiency. With response times under 20 ms and AI-driven energy management, it enables intelligent operation and optimized returns.
Global Service Network Expansion
LONGi has also launched its "2830 Plan," which aims to establish 30 localized service centers across key global markets by 2028.
Supported by 13 GWh of delivery experience across over 120 countries, this network will provide end-to-end lifecycle services, ensuring rapid, localized support worldwide.
Toward the Solar Generator Era
From monocrystalline to BC technology, and from PV to storage, LONGi remains committed to translating innovation into customer value. With LONGi ONE, the company aims to redefine solar energy as a stable and intelligent "Solar Generator"—supporting the next phase of the global energy transition.
