MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Creality, a leader in 3D printing technology, recently wrapped up its ShareFest Australia 2024, a series of highly anticipated user events across the nation. Following the success of last year’s event in Melbourne, this year’s ShareFest ventured into the Gold Coast, Perth, and returned to Melbourne, offering a unique platform for the Australian 3D printing community to connect and celebrate technological advancements.

The ShareFest series spanned from September 14 to 28, starting in Queensland and moving to Western Australia before concluding in Victoria. These events allowed users to interact directly with Creality’s team and explore the latest in 3D printing technology.

A key moment occurred at the Gold Coast event, where Creality’s CEO, Adam Ao, personally engaged with attendees to gather feedback, highlighting Creality’s commitment to understanding the needs of its Australian customers and reinforcing user-centric innovation.

Participants were introduced to new products, including the multi-colored K2 Plus Combo, showcasing Creality’s focus on enhancing creative possibilities.

The Perth event, hosted by Gary in a welcoming atmosphere, featured hands-on experiences with his machines, fostering community engagement among influencers and experienced users. In Melbourne, the event, organized with local distributor 3D Printer Superstore, featured an activity where attendees assembled a large logo from printed models, followed by a lively after-party with DJ entertainment and a BBQ, promoting networking in a relaxed setting.

Interactive games and competitions added excitement to the ShareFest, with participants grouped into five teams based on Creality’s core values. Winners received exclusive merchandise, while a model competition showcased creative prints from attendees, emphasizing the community’s talent.

The series also included a lineup of guest speakers such as Troy Ruston from ibuiltkits and Professor Carl Sales from Unitec. Their insights into automotive customization, architectural design, and gaming technology enriched the events and expanded attendees’ understanding of 3D printing applications.

The global ShareFest 2024 theme, “Imagine It, Make It,” reflects Creality’s vision of empowering users through innovative 3D printing solutions. The Australian series, themed “Add Color, Add Value,” emphasized the growing trend of color printing, underscoring Creality’s commitment to the Australian market and community engagement.

In addition to ShareFest, Creality participated in the Jaycar Retail Conference 2024 from September 15 to 17.

Dealogic ECM Highlights 9M24: Equity deal volumes slow in 3Q amid rising volatility

Published

on

By

NEW YORK and LONDON, Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Dealogic, an ION Analytics service, published its ECM Highlights 9M24 report today, revealing a slowdown of equity capital market (ECM) activity in 3Q24 as market volatility and election nerves put a damper on what had been a year of recovery for global ECM.

Global ECM volumes of USD 160 billion, according to Dealogic data, was slightly above 3Q23 but marked a significant drop from 2Q, pointing to growing concerns among investors about market volatility. Global 9M is still significantly higher than in 2023 or 2022.

Political uncertainty also played a dramatic role, with fewer European deals surrounding snap French elections, marked by the canceled IPO of Italian luxury sneaker maker Golden Goose. Political risks are likely to continue in 4Q, with the US elections in November.

The report notes that equity capital markets have been muted since 2022 due to rising inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical risks. A strong start to 2024 rekindled hopes for recovery. However, 3Q24 volumes show that global economic and political pressures are continuing to take their toll.

With the US Federal Reserve kicking off a rate-cutting cycle in September, there is cautious optimism for a market rebound. Many US and European issuers are nevertheless delaying IPOs until 1H25 to avoid election-related risks.

The ECM Highlights 9M24 report reveals:

ECM volumes in the Americas remained steady Y-O-Y at USD 76.4 billion, a 7% drop from USD 81.5 billion in 2Q, compared with a 4.5% decline between 3Q23 and 2Q23.
APAC ranked second in ECM volumes for the quarter and the 9M, though EMEA surpassed APAC in 2Q24, a rare occurrence in global ECM. 
EMEA showed the sharpest volume drop quarterly and Y-O-Y as volatility around French elections led to a limited deal flow, making it the worst quarter for European IPOs since 1Q19.
Americas IPOs generated a cumulative profit of around USD 6.9 billion, yielding around 22% as of end-September, outperforming the S&P 500 over the same period.
EMEA IPOs generated around USD 3.5 billion in profit for investors, delivering about 18% returns YTD, outperforming benchmark European indices.

Samuel Kerr, Global ECM Editor at ION Analytics, says, “After two strong quarters in global ECM, activity slowed in 3Q24, with fewer IPOs compared to the same period in 2022 and 2023. The slowing in deal flow coincided with an uptick in equity market volatility in August and nerves around this year’s snap French elections alongside the upcoming US elections. With global interest rates now falling, there is further impetus for equity deals, but dealmakers and investors alike are keeping a close eye on the November polls.”
