Executive Vision for Global Expansion

The transition of central operations to New York represents a significant step in the Group's evolution into a global enterprise, while maintaining its existing connections.

Abel Zhao, Group CEO and Executive Director of CSTS Enterprises, emphasized the strategic value of the new location:

"New York is the world's crossroads for media, finance, technology, sports and culture. As CSTS continues its transformation into a truly global enterprise, establishing our headquarters in New York places us closer to many of our international clients, strategic partners, rights holders, investors and growth opportunities. This move represents not a departure from Hong Kong, but an expansion of our vision and our capability to connect audiences, brands and experiences on a global scale."

Zhao further highlighted the industry trends driving this relocation:

"The future of our industry lies at the intersection of technology, content, community and experience. New York provides unparalleled access to global capital, talent, innovation and decision-makers. By establishing our headquarters here, we are positioning CSTS to pursue larger opportunities, deliver greater value for clients and partners, and continue building a company that bridges cultures, markets and audiences worldwide."

By anchoring its global operations in New York, CSTS is well positioned to capture opportunities arising from major sporting events, live entertainment, tourism growth, and cross-border consumer engagement. The New York headquarters will serve as the Group's global command centre, driving business development, strategic partnerships, and international expansion.
