HungryPanda Honours Top Chinese Restaurants in the UK at Global Golden Panda Award Gala
LONDON, March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — HungryPanda, the world’s leading overseas Asian food delivery platform hosted the 2023 Golden Panda Award Gala on Friday March 1 at the Pan Pacific Hotel in London, UK.
This year’s gala held particular significance as it occurred not far from where HungryPanda was founded – The University of Nottingham, where CEO and Founder, Eric Liu was studying.
The ‘Golden Panda Award’ is a symbol of excellence in the global overseas Chinese food industry, setting the highest standard for culinary achievement. It stands as the world’s exclusive international honour specifically dedicated to recognizing restaurant businesses in the food delivery sector.
“Our commitment to promoting and celebrating outstanding achievements in international Asian cuisine is embodied by the ‘Golden Panda Award’,” said Kelu Liu, CEO of HungryPanda. “We are deeply appreciative of the overwhelming support from our esteemed speakers, attendees and especially our restaurant merchants and delivery riders, who are the driving force behind HungryPanda’s success.”
This year, 247 HungryPanda merchants worldwide received the esteemed Golden Panda Award honour, 43 of which are located in the UK.
“Our team at JinLi is truly grateful to have been selected for HungryPanda’s Best Restaurant Award list,” said Martin Ma, CEO of JinLi. “In a sea of amazing Asian restaurants across the UK, it’s truly humbling to stand out. We deeply appreciate HungryPanda’s belief in us and their recognition of the richness and promise inherent in Asian cuisine.”
Despite the UK and other European regions taking pride in their unique culinary traditions, the continuously increasing market share of Asian cuisine in recent years sufficiently demonstrates its immense potential for growth. Particularly in the UK, there is an abundance of Asian-inspired culinary and cultural experiences.
The rising popularity of Asian cuisine in the UK and Europe signifies more than a gastronomic trend; it reflects a growing cultural integration which requires efforts not only meet the demand for authentic Asian cuisine among expats but also promote a broader cultural appreciation, demonstrating the unifying power of food.
“I’m inspired the positive impact HungryPanda is making for Chinese people living overseas,” said Jack Perry, Chairman of the 48 Group Club. “China’s rich cultural heritage deserves to be cherished, and it brings me great joy to see companies like HungryPanda embracing the diverse flavours of Asia.”
Mark Logan MP shared his sentiments, remarking, “Given my personal love and experience in Chinese culture, it was an honour to be part of this year’s ‘Golden Panda Award Gala’. HungryPanda’s dedication to fostering community across the globe is truly commendable.”
The gala fostered a supportive, innovative, and collaborative environment, emphasizing the importance of experiencing authentic Asian cuisine outside of Asia. Participants engaged in discussions centred around themes of home and pride, highlighting the cultural significance of Asian culinary traditions and the pride associated with sharing these traditions globally.
“The ‘Golden Panda Award Gala’ showed the power of collaboration and innovation in advancing the culinary landscape and serving the people of APAC regions, whether residing abroad or traveling,” said Weixiang Dong, President of Chinese Catering Culture Association.
Beyond the recognition of restaurant merchants, users and delivery riders, the gala serves as a summit for global food delivery industry, offering industry insights, trends and predications aimed at expanding the Asian food market scale, advancing the commercialization processes and setting a global and ethical benchmark within the Asian food delivery industry.
Alipay+, the cross-border mobile payments and marketing platform operated by Ant International, delivered a keynote speech on the rise of digital wallets globally and their significance as the leading payment method for both online and offline transactions.
“Digital wallets in APAC, excluding China, more than doubled their share of e-commerce transaction value over the past five years,” said Eva Zhang, CEO of Alipay+ UK. “Streamlined payment processes not only enhance user satisfaction but also provide merchants with the added benefit of reduced transaction costs.”
Recognizing HungryPanda’s pivotal role, Rupert Hoogewerf, Founder of HURUN, affirmed, “I admire the work HungryPanda is doing and was delighted to award its founding members spots on the Hurun U30 and U35 lists. What HungryPanda is doing is to build one of the most interesting Chinese diaspora platforms, centred around the growth of the Asian food industry .”
HungryPanda’s online ordering platform provides a tailored user experience to Asian users living and traveling abroad, bridging cultural and language barriers. Additionally, it empowers Asian restaurants to connect with the right customers and provide efficient delivery services.

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is excited to announce it’s among the first to be granted consent to a full authorization by the Astana Financial Service Authority (AFSA). This milestone brings Bybit closer to becoming a fully regulated Digital Asset Trading Facility (DATF).
As part of a rigorous process, Bybit Kazakhstan has passed a full AML check, business conduct audit, and detailed compliance inspections. This is part of Bybit’s focus on securing new user opportunities in Kazakhstan and the broader Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region.
“Kazakhstan has become a key player in the global crypto ecosystem, and we are thrilled to be expanding our services in such a dynamic market,” said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit. “We are committed to bringing our cutting-edge technology, security, and transparency to crypto traders in Kazakhstan, ensuring they can access the best possible tools and services to thrive in this fast-growing industry.”
Once the full license is in place, Bybit Kazakhstan will offer various digital assets related products and services. The expansion into Kazakhstan aligns with Bybit’s mission to provide reliable and transparent services, catering to the unique needs of crypto traders and investors in the region.
This development follows Bybit’s receipt of its initial operating and custody licenses from AFSA in June 2023, reinforcing its commitment to local regulatory requirements. Bybit’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its presence in Kazakhstan underscore its belief in responsible growth and ensuring a compliant and secure trading environment.
Kazakhstan has quickly emerged as a hub for crypto innovation, and Bybit is proud to play a leading role in fostering this development. For example, Bybit hosted a “Foundations of Blockchain, Web3 and Crypto Exchange Activities” course for Banks of Kazakhstan in 2024. This event was part of Bybit’s drive to make blockchain education more accessible in the CIS region.
By securing this full authorization, Bybit is poised to enhance crypto adoption, provide institutional-grade security, and offer advanced trading features to its growing regional user base.

Integrum ESG and CSRHub enable fund managers to monitor both long-term trends and short-term movements in ESG ratings for companies, across a 10-year time series
LONDON, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Integrum ESG, the leading alternative ESG data provider, has today announced the launch of their Consensus ESG Ratings module.
Just as investors monitor movements in consensus earnings estimates or credit ratings, investors now are aware of the demand for the ability to monitor long-term trends and short-term movements in consensus ESG ratings.
This new feature enables Integrum ESG’s asset manager clients to now see the consensus ESG score for any company, either as an absolute rating or a relative percentile ranking, across a 10-year time series.
These scores will indicate to any investor what the capital markets have ‘priced in’ for a company’s ESG performance, allowing users to quickly understand the market’s view on a company and easily conduct relative ESG analysis on the positions they hold within their Portfolio.
This regularly updated data is provided by CSRHub, the world’s leading provider of consensus ESG ratings. CSRHub has spent years aggregating and normalising a vast range of licensed sources – from large ESG ratings firms such as MSCI, ISS, S&P Global, and Sustainalytics to specialists such as CDP and Better World Companies.
Shai Hill, Founder and CEO of Integrum ESG, commented: “Many investors have told us they want a sense of ‘what is priced in’ in terms of a company’s ESG performance, so they can compare this to what anyone ESG ratings firm is saying. CSRHub is the only firm to have credibly achieved this, thanks to a model refined over years and a vast data lake – so we are delighted to be partnering with them.”
Bahar Gidwani, Co-Founder of CSRHub, added: “Investors need to fine tune their ESG-related investment strategies to improve their returns and better match the preferences of their clients. Combining CSRHub’s expert outside-in, consensus view of ESG with Integrum ESG’s detailed real-time data stream provides a strong solution for these needs.”

Their Platform allows clients to dissect ESG scores, real-time sentiment, and more with a variety of unique-to-market features, empowering industry professionals and investors and giving them complete oversight of ESG risk across their portfolio.
