FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem Looking Forward to Visiting ‘Iconic' Macau for the 2025 FIA Annual Conference
MACAU--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the global governing body for motorsport and the federation for mobility organisations worldwide, will shortly be in Macau for the 2025 FIA Extraordinary General Assembly and Annual Conference. Marking the first time this event has ever taken place in this diverse region, the conference will be hosted in partnership with the Automobile General Association Macao-China (AAMC) and Galaxy Entertainment Group and held at the Galaxy International Convention Centre. The event will welcome over 500 senior FIA delegates across mobility and motorsport from 149 countries, offering the opportunity to address key initiatives in road safety, sustainable mobility, regional sporting growth, and innovation in transport, with the FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem in attendance. Speaking ahead of his visit to Macau, FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said: 'Global gatherings like this are vital to the health of our federation. Bringing our community together allows us an invaluable opportunity for engagement and participation, particularly within a pivotal election year. 'The Members of the FIA are at the heart of everything we do, and I am looking forward to being inspired by and connected to them over the next few days, strengthening the link between sport and mobility, expanding our reach, and continuing to impact the global stage. 'I am incredibly proud of the progress we have made together during my first term in office and look forward to continuing that partnership going forward. I am committed to the transformation of the FIA, so it can be an even more positive force for society. Globally, we remain committed to growing motorsport participation through grassroots initiatives and accessibility programmes such as the Affordable Cross Car and the Global Karting Plan. 'At the same time, we continue to empower all regions through our mobility capabilities, maintaining a central role in the automotive industry and leading the dialogue on the future of sustainable cities, safety, and transport.' Commenting on the location of this year's conference, Ben Sulayem said: 'Macau is iconic within the world of motorsport and a fitting location for the FIA to host one of the most important weeks of our calendar. I look forward to seeing much of what this unique destination has to offer.' The conference follows the FIA's recent announcement regarding the FIA's significant financial turnaround and strongest results in almost ten years. Reporting a profit of €4.7m, and an operating income of €182m for 2024, this puts the FIA back in the black following the inheritance of a €-24.0m deficit in 2021 from the previous administration. The conference will be attended by representatives from the 245 FIA Member Clubs. This structure forms the backbone of the federation's governance and operations, with each full Member Club holding voting rights across the FIA's elections and regulatory decisions. Clubs are grouped into two primary categories, with some serving in both roles: Mobility Clubs – provide mobility services and represent the interest of road users, with a focus on road safety, travel and tourism, consumer rights, and sustainable mobility National Sporting Authorities (ASNs) – govern and develop motorsport at a national level, are responsible for sporting events, issuing licenses, and engagement across regulations The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) is the governing body for world motor sport and the federation for mobility organisations globally. It is a non-profit organisation committed to driving innovation and championing safety, sustainability and equality across motor sport and mobility. Founded in 1904, with offices in Paris, London and Geneva, the FIA brings together 245 Member Organisations across five continents, representing millions of road users, motor sport professionals and volunteers. It develops and enforces regulations for motor sport, including seven FIA World Championships, to ensure worldwide competitions are safe and fair for all. The 2025 FIA Conference is hosted in association with Galaxy Entertainment Group and will be held at the International Convention Centre from 10-12 June. The Galaxy International Convention Centre is situated within the Galaxy Macau Integrated Resort which regularly plays host to world class sporting and conference events, and international exhibitions.

LEIDEN, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Azafaros, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel therapies for rare lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), today announced that it will present at the 2025 BIO International Convention taking place in Boston, USA, from 16-19 June. The company's presentation is scheduled for . Upcoming presentation at BIO 2025 follows successful Series B funding round and encouraging data from ongoing trials The presentation will highlight Azafaros' progress in developing nizubaglustat, its lead investigational compound for the treatment of rare lysosomal storage disorders with neurological involvement, including GM1 and GM2 gangliosidoses and Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC). This announcement follows Azafaros' recently completed and oversubscribed €132 million Series B financing round, which will support advancing nizubaglustat into pivotal clinical development. The company is on track to initiate two Phase 3 trials in GM1/GM2 gangliosidoses and NPC in 2025. Earlier this year, Azafaros reported positive topline results from its ongoing Phase 2 study evaluating nizubaglustat in patients with GM2 gangliosidosis and NPC. The current Ph2 extension study demonstrated a favorable safety profile after more than 12 months of treatment. In addition, preliminary improvements or stabilization in key clinical endpoints were observed in the majority of patients, underscoring promising efficacy trends for nizubaglustat. 'We are excited to share our latest progress at BIO 2025, including the continued clinical development of nizubaglustat which holds strong potential as a meaningful treatment option for patients with devastating neurodegenerative lysosomal disorders,' said Stefano Portolano, CEO at Azafaros. 'With the support of our recent financing round and encouraging data from our ongoing trials, we can continue our rapid momentum to bring this product into pivotal clinical studies as we work to develop a potential new solution for this area where there is a significant unmet need.' About nizubaglustat Nizubaglustat is a small molecule, orally available and brain penetrant azasugar with a unique dual mode of action, developed as a potential treatment for rare lysosomal storage disorders with neurological involvement, including GM1 and GM2 gangliosidoses and Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC). Nizubaglustat has received Rare Paediatric Disease Designations (RPDD) for the treatment of GM1 and GM2 gangliosidoses and NPC, Orphan Drug Designations (ODD) for GM1 and GM2 gangliosidosis (Sandhoff and Tay-Sachs Diseases) and NPC, as well as Fast Track Designation and IND clearance for GM1/GM2 gangliosidoses and NPC from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

About GM1 and GM2 gangliosidoses GM1 gangliosidosis and GM2 gangliosidosis (Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases) are lysosomal storage disorders caused by the accumulation of GM1 or GM2 gangliosides respectively, in the central nervous system (CNS). This results in progressive and severe neurological impairment and premature death. These diseases mostly affect infants and children, and no disease-modifying treatments are currently available. About Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC) Niemann-Pick disease Type C is a progressive, life-limiting neurological lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the NPC1 or NPC2 gene and aberrant endosomal-lysosomal trafficking, leading to the accumulation of various lipids, including gangliosides in the CNS. The onset of disease can happen throughout the lifespan of an affected individual, from prenatal life through adulthood. About Azafaros Azafaros is a clinical-stage company founded in 2018 with a deep understanding of rare genetic disease mechanisms using compound discoveries made by scientists at Leiden University and Amsterdam UMC and is led by a team of highly experienced industry experts. Azafaros aims to build a pipeline of disease-modifying therapeutics to offer new treatment options to patients and their families. By applying its knowledge, network and courage, the Azafaros team challenges traditional development pathways to rapidly bring new drugs to the rare disease patients who need them.
