Lingnan University expands Business Case Competition to Greater Bay Area with record participation

HONG KONG, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- To enhance the business acumen and practical experience of students from Hong Kong and Greater Bay Area (GBA) tertiary institutions, the Hong Kong Institute of Business Studies (HKIBS) at Lingnan University organised the third Business Case Competition (LUBCC) 2026. The Final Presentation Day and Award Presentation Ceremony were successfully held yesterday (12 April). This year's competition expanded for the first time to include five GBA universities: Shenzhen University, Jinan University, Foshan University, Guangdong University of Finance and Economics, and Guangdong University of Technology. The first-prize teams were Lingnan University and Foshan University.

A total of 445 students from 98 teams registered for this year's competition. This represents a significant 22.5 per cent increase in the number of participants compared with the previous year. The competition featured real-world business cases provided by various government departments and corporations, including the Hong Kong Police Force and MTR Corporation Limited, for participants to analyse collectively and devise optimal business strategies.

Prof Shi Shanshan, Associate Dean (TP Studies) of the Faculty of Business at Lingnan University, delivered a welcome address, noting that the inclusion of several GBA universities this year helped foster academic and cultural exchanges across institutions. She said "The number of participants this year reached a record high, reflecting the growing student demand for practical platforms that simulate the workplace. Participants are required to tackle real-world problems faced by different enterprises, gaining insights into diverse cultural and business contexts. They flexibly apply the theoretical knowledge learned in the classroom to solve business challenges with innovative solutions. Through cross-institutional competitions like this, the Faculty of Business aims to strengthen students' cross-border market mindset, enhance their analytical and problem-solving skills, and nurture future leaders capable of addressing global business challenges."

The business cases for this year's competition were provided by government departments and corporations, spanning areas such as public services, transportation, property management, and healthcare. These included the Hong Kong Police Force, Integrated Property Management Platform of China Resources Longdation Company Limited, MTR Corporation Limited, and New Town Medical Group (listed in no particular order). A total of 20 teams from the Undergraduate Division, Taught Postgraduate Division, and GBA universities advanced to the final round. Each team was required to conduct an in-depth analysis of the real-life business challenge provided by the supporting organisations and their strategic recommendations tailored to address the issues identified. Outstanding proposals may be considered as reference strategies by the respective organisations. The final judging panel, comprising industry experts and academics, engaged with the teams through insightful questions and feedback.

The Hong Kong Police Force invited students to propose a targeted, multi-channel mission-based marketing and education campaign to solve low public awareness and sustained engagement across demographics for the HKPF Super App. Integrated Property Management Platform of China Resources Longdation Company Limited requested students to formulate new strategies to solve client confusion by clearly unifying the CRLIPM Platform's brand and relationship structure across its three companies, and to enhance public engagement through its WeChat official account while making CRLIPM content trend on social media. The case topic for MTR Corporation Limited was developing a strategy and implementation plan to reduce fare evasion on MTR Light Rail. New Town Medical Group required students to provide a marketing and outreach strategy to raise public awareness of the CDCC scheme, attract eligible participants to pair with NTMG doctors, and retain enrolled participants for follow-up doctor, nurse clinic, and optometrist services—while promoting the role of nurse clinics in the co-care model. These real-world cases spanned diverse fields such as public services, property management, transportation, and healthcare, testing the students' cross-industry business analysis capabilities and innovative thinking.

The event concluded with the much-anticipated Award Presentation Ceremony. Prizes were awarded to the top-performing teams in various categories, recognizing their exceptional analyses and innovative strategies.

Lingnan University expands Business Case Competition to Greater Bay Area with record participation

SINGAPORE, Aug. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GeeLark, a provider of cloud phone infrastructure and undetectable browser technology, today announced a major update to GeeLark Browser. The release upgrades its browser kernel and user agent configurations to version 150 and introduces GeeLark Password Manager, a built-in extension designed for team collaboration.

The update responds directly to user requests for more current browser environments and simpler credential management. It also reflects GeeLark's broader strategy to make browsers a scalable infrastructure layer for modern digital operations.

Keeping Browser Operations Current

Browsers remain central to account management, advertising, e-commerce, and social media operations. As web platforms evolve, businesses need browser environments that stay current without requiring teams to update technical parameters manually.

GeeLark has now upgraded both its browser kernel and UA configurations to version 150. Keeping these components aligned helps teams create more consistent browser environments and reduces the work required to maintain large numbers of profiles.

For businesses operating across multiple accounts, markets, and platforms, this consistency is not only a technical requirement. It is essential for building repeatable workflows that can scale across teams.

Making Account Access a Shared Workflow

The release also introduces GeeLark Password Manager, which is installed in GeeLark Browser by default and connects with Google's official password-management capabilities.

All members of a GeeLark team can use the extension and access its shared data. This reduces the need to transfer credentials manually, install separate extensions, or repeat the same setup for every team member.

"Our users asked for faster browser updates and an easier way to manage account access across teams," said Dominic, CEO of GeeLark. "These features solve immediate workflow problems, but they also support a larger goal: turning browser environments into shared business infrastructure rather than isolated tools."

From Browser Profiles to Business Infrastructure

As digital teams become more distributed, businesses need more than individual browser profiles. They need cloud-based environments that can be configured once, shared across teams, and integrated into larger operational workflows.

GeeLark is building toward this model by combining current browser technology, shared account access, team collaboration, and cloud-based management within one platform.

Together with GeeLark's cloud phone infrastructure, the browser update supports a unified approach to web and mobile operations. Businesses can manage browser-based tasks and native mobile workflows without maintaining fragmented tools or fleets of physical devices.

By strengthening both the technical foundation and collaborative capabilities of GeeLark Browser, the company is positioning the browser as a core infrastructure layer for scalable digital operations.
