The first stop will be at the Southampton African American Museum (SAAM), founded by Brenda Simmons. “I’m proud to say this is SAAM’s 3rd year partnering with ART & SOUL: Hamptons.

SDLG Holds Spring Festival Gathering and the Shipment Ceremony of Overseas Electric Products

Published

on

On February 23, at the Shandong Lingong (Linyi) Industrial Park, colorful flags fluttered and loud music played, creating a festive and lively atmosphere. One after another, electric wheel loaders and electric excavators draped in colorful silk were ready to set off. Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery Company (SDLG)’s 2026 Spring Festival Gathering and the Shipment Ceremony of Overseas 

Electric Products was grandly held here.

Wang Zhizhong, Chairman of Lingong Group, and Wen Degang, General Manager of SDLG, both attended the ceremony and delivered important speeches. Leaders from the group and its member companies, as well as middle-level and above cadres and employee representatives of SDLG, participated in the event. The ceremony was hosted by Zhou Weisheng, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Lingong Group.

In his speech, Chairman Wang Zhizhong extended New Year greetings to the employees, especially those stationed overseas on the front lines of the market during the Spring Festival and put forward new hopes and requirements. The chairman pointed out that in 2026, the market situation at home and abroad will remain complex and severe, full of challenges while also presenting development opportunities. Everyone should quickly switch from the holiday mode to a tense work mode and engage in tasks with the attitude of “starting the battle at the very beginning.”

The chairman emphasized that 2026 is the first year of the “15th Five-Year Plan” and the starting year for SDLG to implement its new development strategy. Departments at all levels should follow the company’s unified deployment, set clear goals and refine measures. It is necessary to conscientiously implement the strategic policy of “ensuring market share domestically and pursuing development abroad,” give full play to subjective initiative, carefully study each product, each dealer, and each market, identify problems and deficiencies, take effective measures to address weaknesses, focus on market planning, strengthen marketing channels, and improve business performance with high quality.

The chairman finally stressed that SDLG has already laid a solid foundation and created favorable conditions for accelerated development. All cadres and employees should have firm confidence in development, seize development opportunities, disregard objective difficulties, and rise to challenges. It is essential to continue to maintain a strong fighting spirit, carry forward the SDLG spirit of “Diligence, Devotion, Loyalty, Dedication,” have the courage to spur on the horses, unleash the vitality of a herd of galloping horses, maintain the drive of non-stop work, take the lead in “striving hard in the first quarter to achieve a good start,” and achieve success.

Wen Degang, General Manager of SDLG, expressed sincere gratitude in his speech for the arduous efforts and outstanding achievements made by all departments of the company in 2025 and highly praised employees who stuck to posts during the holiday. Mr. Wen emphasized three key aspects: “strengthening platform support to accelerate quality and efficiency improvement; focusing on ‘three rates’ in the domestic market to achieve high-quality development; and achieving leapfrog development in overseas markets and striving for even greater progress.” Mr. Wen stressed that the blueprint has been drawn up, and the goals are inspiring. Let’s rise to challenges, dare to fight and compete, shoulder the historical mission of “Take the route of top brand, build a centennial SDLG” with the sense of responsibility of “not being a true hero until reaching the Great Wall” and the tenacity of “not returning until Loulan is conquered,” demonstrate new actions, make new achievements, and achieve new development on the new journey.

At the ceremony, representatives from the International Marketing Headquarters and the Wheel Loader Division made statements. Subsequently, Chi Feng, Executive General Manager and Chief Engineer of SDLG, gave the order to dispatch the equipment. Amid the stirring music and warm applause, the fleet of electric products drove out of the SDLG factory and headed for the global market.

 

Galloping horses usher in a new year, and fine steeds strive forward with lofty aspirations. All employees of the company quickly entered a “combat” state. On the third day of the first lunar month, when many people were still immersed in the festive atmosphere, the company’s production system had fully resumed work, operating at full capacity to catch up with orders and ensure delivery. Centered around customers and responding to market demands, with clear goals in mind, SDLG strives to be the first, fully create more reliable and efficient products and services, and work together with global customers to create greater value and achieve win-win development!

Medifakt Expands Its Digital Health Ecosystem With Integrated Wearables and Blockchain Infrastructure

Published

on

Fakt-O-Ring and Fakt-O-Band integrate with Medifakt’s mobile health platform and exchange-listed FAKT token to power a privacy-first, user-owned digital health ecosystem

Estonia, 25th February 2026, Medifakt announced the continued expansion of its connected digital health ecosystem through the integration of its Smart Wearable Devices the Fakt-O-Ring and Fakt-O-Band, with its mobile health application and Web3-enabled infrastructure layer.

 

Designed at the intersection of healthcare, wearable technology, and decentralized digital infrastructure, Medifakt is building a unified ecosystem where individuals can monitor, manage, and engage with their health data while maintaining transparency, security, and control.

A Connected Health Ecosystem, Not Just Devices

Unlike traditional fitness trackers that focus on isolated metrics, Medifakt’s smart wearables are designed as core components of a connected health ecosystem. The smart ring and smart band continuously capture key wellness and activity signals and securely synchronize with the Medifakt app, where data is organized into structured reports and daily health summaries.

Users can select the device that best fits their lifestyle, whether the discreet, always-on form factor of the smart ring or the activity-focused versatility of the smart band, while accessing the same unified app experience.

The ecosystem combines:

  • Continuous wearable-based health monitoring
    • A mobile-first health intelligence platform
    • Virtual healthcare access
    • Blockchain-enabled infrastructure for data integrity and interoperability
    • An ecosystem token (FAKT) designed to support platform participation

This integrated framework positions Medifakt beyond consumer wearables, toward a structured, scalable digital health ecosystem.

Smart Wearables Designed for Daily Health Awareness

The Fakt-O-Ring and Fakt-O-Band are engineered to provide continuous wellness tracking within a comfortable, everyday form factor.

Key functional capabilities include:

Continuous Health Monitoring
Wearable-driven tracking designed to support daily awareness of key wellness indicators.

Seamless Mobile Synchronization
Automatic data synchronization with the Medifakt mobile application for structured reporting and visualization.

Lifestyle Flexibility
Users can choose between the discreet, always-on smart ring or the activity-oriented smart band, while accessing the same unified app ecosystem.

Ecosystem Integration Architecture
Devices are built to integrate directly with user profiles, structured reports, and virtual care features within the Medifakt app.

Privacy-First Engineering
Data visibility and control remain user-managed, aligned with Medifakt’s transparent data-handling principles.

The Medifakt App: Turning Wearable Data Into Clarity

The Medifakt mobile application acts as the central hub of the ecosystem. Through the app, users can:

  • Review structured health check-ups and wellness summaries
  • Track trends derived from wearable data over time
  • Manage personal health profiles securely
  • Access virtual consultations with qualified healthcare professionals
  • Engage with optional, non-monetary participation-based features that encourage consistent health tracking

The platform is designed to support better understanding and more informed health conversations, rather than replacing professional medical care.

Web3-Enabled Infrastructure and Exchange Visibility

As part of its broader ecosystem strategy, Medifakt is also building a Web3-enabled digital health infrastructure designed to support transparency, interoperability, and future innovation.

The Medifakt ecosystem token, FAKT, is currently listed on leading digital asset exchanges, including MEXC (FAKT is live on MEXC (FAKT/USDT) https://www.mexc.com/exchange/FAKT_USDT) , providing global visibility for the ecosystem layer that supports Medifakt’s long-term platform vision.

The token listing is intended to support ecosystem participation and infrastructure development and is not positioned as a financial product or investment offering.

Designed for the Future of Connected Healthcare

By combining smart wearables, a secure mobile app, virtual healthcare access, and Web3-ready infrastructure, Medifakt is positioning itself as a next-generation consumer health platform built for how healthcare is evolving more connected, more digital, and more user-centric.

The ecosystem is designed to scale over time, supporting future integrations while keeping individuals firmly in control of their health data and engagement.

About Medifakt

Medifakt is a consumer-focused digital health ecosystem designed to simplify how individuals monitor, manage, and engage with their health. The platform brings together smart health wearables, including a health ring and health band, with a secure mobile application and virtual healthcare access to deliver a connected, user-centric health experience.

Through the Medifakt app, users can track key health metrics, review clear summaries of their wellness data, manage personal health profiles, and engage with qualified healthcare professionals from a single, unified platform.

Medifakt is built with a strong emphasis on privacy, transparency, and user control, ensuring individuals remain in charge of their health information while benefiting from modern digital health technologies. The platform also includes optional, non-monetary engagement-based features designed to encourage consistent participation in health tracking and wellness routines.
