HONG KONG, Jul 17, 2026 - ( JCN Newswire ) - CTF Life announced a landmark long-term strategic partnership with Tencent Music Entertainment Group (TME), marking the first collaboration of its kind between a Hong Kong insurer and TME. The collaboration will see the two partners bring the 2026 TMElive International Music Awards (TIMA) to the city for the very first time. Taking place on 22 and 23 August 2026, the two-day spectacle will bring together music lovers from across the globe for a vibrant celebration that will transcend language, geography and culture.

As exclusive title sponsor, CTF Life is reinforcing its commitment to energise Hong Kong’s mega-events landscape and strengthen the city’s position as the events capital of Asia.

We are delighted to embark on this long-term strategic partnership with Tencent Music Entertainment Group, giving new expression to our ‘creating value beyond insurance’ brand promise. As ‘Life Planners’, we aspire to harness the power of music to bring warmth and humanity to the insurance experience, while crafting exquisite, enriching and memorable experiences for our customers and their loved ones.”
