Making reliable and compliant data easily accessible to facilitate cross-boundary credit and lending activities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (“GBA”).

HONG KONG, July 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Dun & Bradstreet, a leading global provider of business decisioning data and analytics, announced today the launch of its China Business Credit Reports solution for China’s Greater Bay Area. It aims to improve the coverage, quality and consistency of financial information available to banks and other financial institutions on Chinese Mainland companies seeking finance in the region, leading to greater availability of credit.

The Greater Bay Area is one of China’s most dynamic and economically vibrant regions, playing a critical role in driving high-quality growth. It is a crucial connectivity, trade and communication link both between the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong SAR and Macao SAR, and onwards into the international markets under the ‘Belt and Road’ Initiative. Cross-boundary financing has emerged as a vital component of the GBA’s strategic agenda and recent measures facilitating cross-boundary data transfers in the Greater Bay Area support the sharing of financial information with appropriate safeguards.

Introducing the China Business Credit Reports

Dun & Bradstreet’s China Business Credit Reports contain rich data and insights about a Chinese Mainland business applying for finance in the Greater Bay Area. This reduces information gaps and asymmetries faced by potential lenders in the region, helping them to make credit decisions and appropriately price risk when offering facilities. As this supports their willingness to offer financing, it can improve the availability of credit for Chinese Mainland businesses.

The China Business Credit Reports provide a detailed, multi-faceted view of Chinese Mainland companies seeking financing in the Greater Bay Area, empowering lenders to make informed decisions with a comprehensive understanding of their financial situation. All Dun & Bradstreet data and insight is quality assured via a patented process, where data is collected, aggregated, verified and enhanced from thousands of sources to enable decisions to be made with confidence.

This solution comes at a crucial time, coinciding with the recent announcement by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and The People’s Bank of China on promoting the collaboration on cross-boundary credit referencing to facilitate corporates’ cross-boundary financing activities. Additionally, it aligns with the recent facilitation measure under the Memorandum of Understanding on Facilitating Cross-boundary Flow of Personal Information Within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Mainland, Hong Kong), which aims to streamline compliance arrangements for the transfer of personal information within cities of the Greater Bay Area.

By improving the availability of credit data available to Hong Kong financial institutions, Dun & Bradstreet hopes to increase competition in the market and reduce barriers to accessing financing, particularly for smaller and newer businesses operating in the region that may struggle to access credit as a result.

Dun & Bradstreet has an unparalleled breadth and depth of business information, offering the largest set of business decisioning data and analytical insights, covering hundreds of millions of businesses globally. Financial institutions in the Chinese Mainland leverage this for making credit-decisions on Hong Kong and overseas businesses.

Commitment to Empowering Business Connectivity in the Greater Bay Area

“Dun & Bradstreet is proud to be part of this milestone as the Greater Bay Area becomes ever more interconnected,” said Andrew Wu, General Manager of Dun & Bradstreet China. “As credit reference agencies with a full commitment and significant operations in both the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong SAR, we are well positioned to provide cross-boundary solutions that empower businesses operating in the Greater Bay Area to effectively access the credit and financing they require. As a strong proponent of its development, Dun & Bradstreet hopes that this initiative will stimulate business activity and make a positive contribution to its economic growth.”

With nearly two centuries of experience, Dun & Bradstreet has been at the forefront of providing essential business insights to companies worldwide.

Offers open access to cancer data for research

NEW DELHI, Sept. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Indian Cancer Genome Atlas (ICGA) has launched India’s first comprehensive cancer multi-omics data portal. This pioneering platform provides open access to clinically correlated data from Indian cancer patients, aimed at transforming cancer research and treatment for Indian populations.

Historically, cancer treatments in India have been based on Western data sets. However, cancers in Indian patients can differ significantly at the molecular level. ICGA’s mission is to create Indian-specific datasets to help researchers and clinicians develop personalized treatment protocols. This new open-access portal represents a monumental step in revolutionizing cancer research, specifically for Indian patients.

The ICGA cancer multi-omics portal is the first in India to offer data that includes DNA, RNA, and protein profiles of breast cancer patients, integrated with clinical outcomes. Currently, the platform consists of data from 50 breast cancer patients, with plans to expand to over 500 patients in the coming year. This data is freely accessible to the global research community under India’s PRIDE guidelines, which promote ethical sharing and collaboration in cancer research.

Key Highlights of this portal include:

India’s First Cancer Multi-Omics Data Portal: A comprehensive resource that offers detailed multi-omics data for breast cancer patients, including genomic and proteomic information.Based on cBioPortal Platform: Derived from the internationally recognized cBioPortal, this platform ensures seamless integration with global cancer research efforts.Initial Dataset from 50 Indian Patients: Provides clinically annotated DNA, RNA, and protein profiles, along with treatment histories and patient outcomes, with an aim to scale up to 500 in a year.Free Access Under PRIDE Guidelines: Adhering to responsible and ethical data-sharing practices, the portal is freely accessible to the scientific community.A Step Toward Precision Oncology for Indian Patients: This initiative is designed to enable the development of personalized cancer treatments tailored to Indian patients.Call for Collaboration:  ICGA invites researchers worldwide to contribute and expand the platform, fostering global collaboration in cancer research.

Professor Shekhar C. Mande, Former DG-CSIR, Currently Senior Professor at Savitribai Phule Pune University
“Making this invaluable cancer data publicly accessible marks a pivotal step in accelerating scientific discoveries and enhancing patient outcomes. By openly sharing this data, we are empowering researchers, clinicians, and innovators to collaborate, explore new frontiers, and drive transformative breakthroughs in cancer treatment.”

Joint Statement from Dr JC Zenklusen – Director of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) at the NCI, NIH, USA, and Prof Sunil Badve – Vice Chair, Pathology Cancer Programs, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
“Fifteen years ago, when we launched TCGA, we could not have foreseen the remarkable progress cancer research would make. It is incredibly exciting to see ICGA advancing so rapidly and taking bold steps in revolutionizing cancer research. Understanding the genome of cancer patients will improve the treatment of Indians not only in India but also worldwide. We, both, encourage others with similar data to actively contribute to ICGA, so this initiative can grow even faster and drive greater breakthroughs.”

Dr. Anand Deshpande, Chairman and Managing Director at Persistent, and Non-Executive Director at ICGA
“We have made an excellent start with this groundbreaking multi-omics cancer portal. Cancer touches all of us, and the need for more effective, personalized treatments—especially tailored to the unique genetic and environmental factors in India—is urgent. This portal will empower researchers with crucial data to advance customized cancer research for better treatment outcomes. I encourage everyone to contribute and support this vital cause, helping us accelerate progress in the fight against cancer.”
