On December 21, Techub News issued a statement addressing false information circulating on social platforms, clarifying that the company's founder and CEO, Alma, has never been involved in the establishment of Central Research, nor has she served as its "co-founder" or any similar role; all such statements are untrue.

The statement emphasized that Big Demo Day is a publicly recognized startup pitch event developed through multi-party collaboration, previously supported by institutions including Hong Kong's Digital Harbour. Techub News participated in certain editions solely as a co-organizer or partner media outlet, with no involvement in Central Research’s internal governance, personnel appointments, or operational management. Equating this event simply to an "internal activity" of Central Research, or interpreting Alma’s public appearances as evidence of her operational involvement, constitutes a misinterpretation.

Techub News has requested correction of the erroneous information from relevant parties and urges all stakeholders to rely on factual accuracy when disseminating or citing information. Techub News reserves the right to pursue legal action against any party intentionally spreading misinformation or engaging in malicious defamation.
