The 6th BDO ESG Awards receives overwhelming response ACN Newswire

The 6th BDO ESG Awards receives overwhelming response

HONG KONG, Nov 19, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - BDO, the world’s fifth largest accountancy and advisory network, has been organising the BDO ESG Awards since 2018, becoming a pioneer in advocating companies’ acceptance of their social responsibilities through the integration of sustainable practices into their business models. Entering its sixth anniversary, the Awards received a record high nomination compared with previous years, with more than 110 applications. BDO will continue to promote the development of enterprises in the field of environmental, social and governance (ESG). BDO recognises Hong Kong-listed companies that have excelled in areas of ESG through the Awards, and encourage more companies to work together for a greener and more climate-resilient future. The BDO ESG Awards has been well received by listed companies in Hong Kong, and this year, as in previous years, received an overwhelming number of nominations. The winners of the various categories, including the Best in ESG Awards, the Best in Reporting Awards, the ESG Report of the Year Awards, the Theme Award and the Outstanding ESG Performance of H-share Companies Awards, will be officially announced at the BDO ESG Awards Presentation Ceremony on 11 December 2024. This year’s Theme Award again commends listed companies that have adopted best practices in ‘carbon neutrality’, highlighting the key role that companies play in mitigating climate change and shaping a zero-carbon, greener, and more climate-resilient future. Companies that are committed to achieving ‘net-zero’ carbon emissions and have demonstrated excellence in the following areas are eligible to compete for the Theme Award:I.Biggest reduction in carbon emissions (absolute and intensity) from business for the year;II.Carbon reduction initiatives launched during the year that could significantly reduce carbon emissions from business in the long-run;III.Long-term vision and action plans implemented to achieve carbon neutrality Ricky Cheng, Director and Head of Risk Advisory of BDO, said, “We are pleased that this year's BDO ESG Awards has again been a huge success, receiving an overwhelming response. A record number of over a hundred listed companies have submitted applications, reflecting a growing number of companies that are committed to sustainable development and have practically integrated ESG principles and climate change considerations into their business strategies. Although companies are paying increasing attention to ESG and climate change issues, BDO, as an advocate for sustainable development, hopes to leverage the annual Awards to continuously raise public awareness of the importance of these issues. The Awards not only recognises companies that have demonstrated excellence in ESG performance and fulfilled their ESG commitments, but also motivates others to make greater efforts to build a zero-carbon future.” On 19 April 2024, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) released the results of a consultation on climate disclosure requirements and published the “Implementation Guidance for Climate Disclosures under HKEX ESG reporting framework”. With reference to IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures, HKEX’s Environmental, Social and Governance Reporting Code (ESG Code)1 will require issuers to make climate-related disclosures in phases starting 1 January 2025 to further enhance the quality, consistency and comparability of climate-related disclosures in Hong Kong's financial industry. By aligning with international standards and providing options with less burden, HKEX encourages issuers to disclose relevant information without undue burden. Ricky added, "Climate change and global warming are serious challenges facing all of humanity. To address these environmental issues, in addition to relying on various government initiatives such as ‘Hong Kong's Climate Action Plan 2050’ and the ongoing update of the climate risk reporting regulations for listed companies by HKEX, we still need the support of society and businesses to realise carbon emission reduction and promote the green and sustainable development of Hong Kong. BDO believes, the mission of safeguarding and ensuring a sustainable future for all mankind can only be achieved if companies from all sectors act from the heart and understand their responsibility and importance in promoting long-term net-zero carbon emissions in their business operations. By formulating a clear and effective carbon neutrality blueprint, companies can progressively meet their carbon reduction commitments and create sustainable long-term value for stakeholders and the next generation, which will ultimately help enhance Hong Kong's green finance credentials and strengthen the city’s position as a trusted and leading financial hub for investors.” Note to editorsAbout BDO Limited BDO's global organisation extends across 166 countries and territories, with more than 115,600 professionals working in over 1,770 offices - and they're all working towards one goal: to provide our clients with exceptional service.

Anticancer Agent “TASFYGO Tablets 35mg” (Tasurgratinib Succinate) Launches in Japan for Biliary Tract Cancer with FGFR2 Gene Fusion or Rearrangements JCN Newswire

Anticancer Agent “TASFYGO Tablets 35mg” (Tasurgratinib Succinate) Launches in Japan for Biliary Tract Cancer with FGFR2 Gene Fusion or Rearrangements

TOKYO, Nov 20, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. announced today that it has launched fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor “TASFYGO® Tablets 35mg” (generic name: tasurgratinib succinate) in Japan for the treatment of patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer with FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements that progressed after cancer chemotherapy. The product received manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan on September 24, 2024, and was published in Japan’s National Health Insurance Drug Price List today.Discovered in-house by Eisai’s Tsukuba Research Laboratories, TASFYGO is an orally available novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor that demonstrates selective inhibitory activity against FGFR1, FGFR2 and FGFR3.The approval of TASFYGO in Japan is based on data such as the results of a multicenter, open-label, single- arm clinical phase II trial (Study 201) conducted by Eisai in Japan and China.1 A companion diagnostic test to detect FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements for the use of TASFYGO in biliary tract cancer, “AmoyDx® FGFR2 Break-apart FISH Probe Kit” by Nihon Stery, Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo) was approved in August 2024.(2)The estimated number of patients in Japan with biliary tract cancer is approximately 22,000,(3),(4) with approximately 25% of the five-year relative survival rate,(3) making it an intractable cancer with the second worst prognosis following pancreatic cancer. Since drug therapy options are limited in comparison with other cancers, it is a disease with significant unmet medical needs. FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements are observed in approximately 5-14% of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, which accounts for 15-30% of biliary tract cancers.(5),(6),(7) FGFR genetic aberrations such as the gene fusions are known to be deeply involved in the proliferation, survival and migration of cancer cells as well as tumor angiogenesis and drug resistance. As these genetic aberrations in FGFRs have been observed in various other types of cancers as well as biliary tract cancer, there is growing interest in FGFRs as a promising target for cancer therapy.TASFYGO is produced at the Kawashima Industrial Park (Gifu Prefecture), using innovative Continuous Manufacturing and Real Time Release Testing, a manufacturing technology that ensures product quality within production processes. Continuous Manufacturing is a production method in which processing is carried out continuously from raw material input to formulation. By incorporating real-time quality monitoring technology, multiple manufacturing processes are integrated, enabling automatic production. This method allows for higher quality control compared to conventional processes that focus on product release testing, by utilizing data within the manufacturing process and reducing human-error through automation.Eisai aims to make continuous efforts to meet the diversified needs of and increase the benefits provided to patients with cancer, their families, and healthcare professionals, by delivering TASFYGO as a new treatment option for biliary tract cancer with FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements.Product InformationBrand name: TASFYGO® Tablets 35mg Generic name: Tasurgratinib succinateIndications: Unresectable biliary tract cancer with FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements that progressed after cancer chemotherapyDosage and Administration: The usual adult dose of tasurgratinib is 140mg orally once daily under fasting conditions. The dose may be reduced appropriately according to the condition of the patient.National Health Insurance (NHI) Drug Price: TASFYGO Tablets 35 mg: ¥ 15,378.70 (per 1 tablet) Packaging: TASFYGO Tablets 35 mg: 56 tablets (14 tablet PTP sheet X 4)About “TASFYGO® Tablets 35mg” (tasurgratinib succinate, Development Code: E7090)Discovered in-house by Eisai’s Tsukuba Research Laboratories, TASFYGO is an orally available novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor that demonstrates selective inhibitory activity against fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) FGFR1, FGFR2 and FGFR3. Distinct from prior known FGFR inhibitors, TASFYGO has a basic structure which lacks the dimethoxyphenyl moiety, and in a kinetic interaction analysis study, it was observed that TASFYGO demonstrates antitumor activities due to inhibition of kinase activity with a binding mode (Type V) that exhibits rapid and potent binding as well as high selectivity to FGFR.(8),(9)In non-clinical studies for biliary tract cancer, NIH/3T3 cells expressing FGFR2-AHCYL1, FGFR2-KCTD1, FGFR2-BICC1 or FGFR2-TXLNA as FGFR2-fusion genes, provided by the National Cancer Center Japan, were used. The antitumor activity of TASFYGO against FGFR2 gene fusion-positive cancers was confirmed in these models by evaluating its effect on anchorage-independent growth and subcutaneously transplanted tumor growth in mice.(9)A Phase I clinical trial is underway in Japan in patients with estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer.About Real Time Release TestingReal Time Release Testing is a quality control approach that ensures the quality of final products based on data from within the manufacturing process. Applying Real Time Release Testing requires a quality design approach based on Quality by Design (QbD), an advanced development method for manufacturing processes. QbD is a development method that emphasizes process control based on profound understanding of manufacturing processes, rather than conventional quality assurance methods which mainly focus on product release testing.Eisai integrates Process Analytical Technology (PAT) into QbD to achieve a higher level of quality control by managing critical attributes of pharmaceuticals within the production process.(1) Furuse J. et al.

Everest Medicines Announces NEFECON(R)’s Full Approval in South Korea

HONG KONG, Nov 19, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Today, Everest Medicines announced that NEFECON(R) has received full approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) in South Korea, indicated for the treatment of adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) with a urine protein excretion ≥1.0 g/day (or urine protein-to-creatinine ratio ≥0.8 g/g). This approval further expands NEFECON(R)’s footprint in Asia and provides Asian patients with a groundbreaking etiological treatment option for IgAN.Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines, expressed his excitement about the approval: “As the world's first and only IgAN etiological treatment drug fully approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), NEFECON(R) will provide a new treatment option for patients in South Korea. We will continue to work on enhancing the accessibility and affordability of NEFECON(R) across Asia to meet the urgent needs of more IgAN patients for this innovative therapy.”NEFECON(R) is the first and only fully approved etiological treatment for IgAN, with its clinical value widely recognized by the global medical community. The approval of NEFECON(R) in South Korea is based on the global Phase 3 NefIgArd clinical trial, which showed that compared to placebo, NEFECON(R) not only brought about a sustained reduction in proteinuria and reduced the frequency of microscopic hematuria but also demonstrated clinically relevant and statistically significant treatment benefits in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The study further revealed that NEFECON(R) reduces the decline in kidney function by 50%, over a period of 2 years, comprising 9 months of treatment and 15 months of observation, and potentially delay the progression to dialysis or kidney transplantation by 12.8 years.Studies have shown that IgAN is highly prevalent among Asian populations, with a 56% higher risk of progression to end-stage renal disease compared to other groups, and often progresses more rapidly. The approval of NEFECON(R) in South Korea provides a breakthrough treatment option for IgAN patients in Asia and highlights its significant commercial potential in the region.This milestone is further evidence of Everest Medicines’ robust global commercialization capabilities. Earlier this year, NEFECON(R) issued its first prescription in mainland China, with subsequent approvals in Macau, Hong Kong, Singapore (marketed as Nefegan(R)), and Taiwan China. According to the company’s interim report, NEFECON(R) achieved RMB 167.3 million in sales within just over a month of its commercial launch in China, demonstrating strong market performance. The approval in South Korea further validates NEFECON(R)’s clinical value and commercial potential, opening new market opportunities and creating an important revenue growth driver for the company.Notably, NEFECON(R) participated in China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) negotiations this year for the first time. Inclusion in the NRDL would significantly enhance its market penetration and affordability, accelerating its sales growth in China. Industry experts widely view NEFECON(R) as a potential blockbuster drug in the Chinese market, with the ability to drive Everest Medicines’ commercialization strategy while strengthening its competitive edge in both domestic and international markets.

14th Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference concludes today

- Over 80 experts and industry leaders in the maritime, air freight, logistics and supply chain sector shared insights on major issues facing the industry- The conference attracted some 2,200 participants from over 30 countries and regions- Strong participation and support from new and emerging markets, including ASEAN and Middle East, reinforced Hong Kong’s status as a ‘superconnector’ and ‘super value-adder’ between Mainland China and global marketsHONG KONG, Nov 19, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The 14th Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference (ALMAC) jointly organised by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) concluded today. This year’s ALMAC featured over 80 experts and industry leaders from the maritime, air freight, logistics and supply chain sector speaking on major issues facing the industry at over 20 conference sessions. The conference attracted some 2,200 participants from over 30 countries and regions, providing a platform for industry players and shippers to explore global business opportunities and establish resilient and sustainable supply chains. This reinforces Hong Kong’s position as an international aviation hub and assists in its development into a high-quality green maritime fuel bunkering centre, thereby enhancing the international status and competitiveness of Hong Kong ports.Over 300 business-matching sessions were arranged, demonstrating Hong Kong’s status as a ‘superconnector’ and ‘super value-adder’ between Mainland China and global markets.Shaping resilient and sustainable supply chainsThemed “Shaping the Future of Supply Chains: Resilience and Sustainability”, multiple forums were hosted to address three major trends in the industry, namely supply chain transformation and new market opportunities, sustainability and green energy, and innovation and technology.In today's rapidly changing global landscape, the dynamics of supply chains are undergoing a substantial transformation. Effective supply chain management plays a pivotal role in combating uncertainty and future-proofing development of enterprises. In the session “Steering Business Growth: Building an Evolving Supply Chain”, Kalyan Chakravorty, Senior Director Global Productivity, Benchmarking & Analytics, MondelÄ“z International, shared his views on the challenges and the opportunities. "When we think about building resilience in a supply chain, we need to think about it as an ecosystem. No single person or single company runs the entire supply chain. It’s often difficult to replicate the entire ecosystem in a new place without challenges," he said.Jotaro Tamura, Senior Managing Executive Officer, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, shared his thoughts on Hong Kong as an international shipping centre in the same session. " Hong Kong is connected to the maritime industry and the maritime industry is connected to Hong Kong, which makes Hong Kong significant in all aspects," he said.Potential new trade linesSupply chain disruption has exposed the vulnerabilities associated with concentrated distribution hubs. To build more resilient networks, businesses must explore alternative trade routes. In the session “Navigating New Trade Lines for Mitigating Disruptions”, Wilson Kwong, Chief Executive, Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals, shared his perspective on Hong Kong as an international aviation hub, the city’s connectivity to global markets and new trade lines. "I think the government has to develop new trade links such as how the Hong Kong SAR government is working very closely with the Belt and Road countries and regions. With the commencement of the three-runway system, the cargo capacity of the Hong Kong International Airport will be raised to 10 million tonnes per annum in the next decade. This is certainly a milestone for us. At HACTL, we have never stopped investing. Working with a government that facilitates business, a business-friendly Airport Authority, and a very engaging and cooperative community, leads me to be very positive about the future," he said.Logistics efficiency through technologyInnovation and digitalisation play a pivotal role in improving the efficiency of global value chains. Speakers in the Logtech Forum: Amplifying Digital Supply Chains through Innovation and Integration session explored strategies for seamlessly integrating technologies across supply chains. Shamika N. Sirimanne, Director, Division on Technology and Logistics, UN Trade & Development shared her views on the strategies for seamless integration of various technologies across supply chains to optimise overall performance. “Compared to the other industrial revolutions of our past, starting from the steam engine and so forth, in this digital revolution the difference is that it's an extremely fast-moving technology and the windows of opportunity are open for a very short period. If you don’t capture it, then you lose something. It's a concern with this new technology. It's a different technology than what you have experienced,” she said.Local logistics talentThe Hong Kong’s NextGen Logistician Award Presentation Ceremony took place on the second day of the conference. Instituted by the Transport and Logistics Bureau in the Action Plan on Modern Logistics Development, the award aims to recognise young professionals in the logistics industry who have made significant achievements and shown remarkable potential in innovative, high-end, smart and green logistics.

NTT and Olympus Joint Demonstration Shows IOWN APN’s Low-latency Capability Can Be Used for Real-time Diagnosis and Treatment on a Remote Server to Realize World’s First Cloud Endoscopy System JCN Newswire

NTT and Olympus Joint Demonstration Shows IOWN APN’s Low-latency Capability Can Be Used for Real-time Diagnosis and Treatment on a Remote Server to Realize World’s First Cloud Endoscopy System

News Highlights:By configuring the cloud endoscopy system with the latest IOWN APN1 (All Photonics Network; “APN”) technology, issues with latency were resolved, confirming that real-time diagnosis and treatment for patients through a remote server 150km away is feasible.Based on this result, NTT and Olympus will collaborate in studying the technical challenges towards the full-scale implementation of the cloud endoscopy system.TOKYO, Nov 19, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NTT Corporation (TSE: 9432; "NTT") and Olympus Corporation (TSE: 7733; "Olympus") today announced that, following the start of their joint experiment in March of the world’s first cloud endoscope system which processes endoscopic videos on the cloud, they jointly established a cloud endoscopy system utilizing the IOWN APN technology, and have demonstrated that the APN technology can solve network issues in realizing the cloud endoscopy system. Moving forward, the two companies will collaborate for the full-scale implementation of the cloud endoscopy system and enable performance and functional improvements of endoscopy systems through the cloud, contributing to society through improving access to advanced medical care.Parts of the results of this joint experiment will be exhibited at the NTT R&D FORUM 2024 - IOWN INTEGRAL2 event in Tokyo from November 25 to 29, 2024.Figure 1: Overview of Cloud Endoscopy SystemBackgroundAn endoscope is a medical device in which a flexible tube is inserted into the natural openings of the body to perform an examination and obtain tissue samples. Instances where endoscopes can be utilized are increasing year by year due to the equipment’s low level of invasiveness and high level of safety, and the technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated.However, current endoscopes handle all its functions within the endoscope device, making performance limitations and maintainability an issue. In addition, it is expected that more cases in the future will require flexible feature improvements and updates based on new user needs, such as real-time remote diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, there is discussion on cloud computing endoscopes, in which some functions with a high processing load, such as image processing, can be done on the cloud.To achieve image processing of endoscopes on the cloud, a network that connects the endoscope device and the cloud is vital. A lag in the network can lead to delay in the images in response to the endoscope operation, causing discomfort to the endoscopy operator. To prevent this, high-quality images captured by the endoscopy must be sent stably and with low-latency to an image processing system in the cloud, which has been a challenge.Overview of demonstration experimentThis demonstration experiment combined the advanced technology of Olympus’ endoscopes with NTT's high-speed, low-latency APN technology aimed at realizing real-time endoscope video processing in the cloud (Figure 1).(1) Configuration of the cloud endoscopy systemIn this joint demonstration experiment, we connected a video processing server (“server”), distanced 150km away from the device that inputs endoscopy images (“edge device”), to the APN and configured it as the cloud endoscopy system (Figure 2).The video captured by the endoscope was sent to the edge device via an endoscope processor, and then was transferred without any compressing to the server via the APN. The server then processed the video utilizing AI and other technology, and sent the processed video back to the edge device. Finally, the monitor which is connected to the edge device displayed the processed video for the endoscope operator to view.Figure 2: Configuration of the Cloud Endoscopy System and APN Experiment(2) Roles of each companyThe roles of each company for the demonstration experiment were divided as following.NTT:Provided the APN experiment environment and evaluated the APN connectivity and network quality.Olympus:Provided the endoscope device and evaluated the performance of the cloud endoscopy system and the processing capability of the software.Results of the joint demonstration experimentThe experiment used both a local configuration with a distance of 5m (assumed to be processed within the endoscope device) and an APN configuration with a distance of 150km which each processed the endoscopy video. The capture cards recorded the videos displayed on the endoscopy operator’s monitor, measured the network’s data latency, and compared the two videos (Figures 3 and 4).Due to the nature of endoscopy procedures, where operators perform examinations and surgeries while checking the video displayed on the monitor in real-time, the video captured by the scope needs to be processed and displayed without delay. If the video data (4K/60fps) is delayed even by a few frames, it will cause discomfort to the operator.This experiment was conducted with the goal of achieving a data transfer latency within 1 frame (under 16 milliseconds), considering the distance of approximately 150km. In result, the latency was 1.1 milliseconds, demonstrating that it was possible to transfer data at 1/10 of the target latency (Figure 5).Furthermore, regarding the difference between the videos processed locally and via the APN, a visual review by the operator confirmed that there was little difference in latency and fluctuation, demonstrating that latency in the APN would not be an issue in video processing.Through confirming that video processing between an edge device and a server separated by 150km is possible, this demonstrates the possibility of combining the video processing of hospitals in large areas, such as the entire metropolitan area, to a remote server, which is a valuable insight for the implementation of a cloud endoscopy system in the future.Figure 3: Connection Configuration of the Demonstration ExperimentFigure 4: Comparison of Processed Videos from APN Configuration and Local ConfigurationFigure 5: Result of Long-Distance (approx. 150km) Demonstration Experiment Using the APNIn light of these results, we were able to demonstrate that the APN can resolve network challenges related to a high-capacity network for transmitting high-quality images, which is necessary to realize the cloud computing of endoscopes, and a low-latency network for displaying inspection images without delay.OutlookMoving forward, the two companies will continue to study technical issues for social implementation of cloud endoscopy, such as advanced security measures for medical data in network transmission and real-time remote diagnosis and treatment by sharing image information among multiple hospitals.Through this initiative, NTT will establish a reference model for medical device networks that solves the various technical issues involved in the cloud computing of medical devices, and Olympus will contribute to the establishment of optimal networks and reference models for cloud endoscopy systems and other such systems.Terminology1.

Sekutu AS Tuduh Rusia ‘Menegaskan Aktivitas Hibrida’ terhadap Negara-negara NATO dan Uni Eropa Setelah Kabel Data Terputus “`

(SeaPRwire) - Sekutu AS di Eropa menuduh Rusia "memperluas aktivitas hibrida" terhadap negara-negara NATO dan Uni Eropa setelah terputusnya dua kabel data di Laut Baltik.Pernyataan ini muncul ketika Moskow mengatakan telah menembakkan enam rudal buatan AS ke wilayah Rusia pada hari Selasa. Dua hari sebelumnya, kabel yang menghubungkan Finlandia ke Jerman dan Swedia ke Lituania terputus di bawah air, menurut Reuters."Tidak ada yang percaya bahwa kabel-kabel ini terputus secara tidak sengaja," Menteri Pertahanan Jerman Boris Pistorius dikutip oleh Reuters mengatakan pada hari Selasa. "Kita juga harus berasumsi, meskipun belum mengetahuinya, bahwa itu adalah sabotase.""Jika Rusia tidak berhenti melakukan tindakan sabotase di Eropa, Warsawa akan menutup konsulatnya yang tersisa di Polandia," Menteri Luar Negeri Polandia Radoslaw Sikorski dilaporkan menambahkan. Menteri luar negeri Prancis, Jerman, Italia, Polandia, Spanyol, dan Inggris Raya mengeluarkan pernyataan bersama yang mengatakan bahwa "aktivitas hibrida Moskow yang meningkat terhadap negara-negara NATO dan Uni Eropa ... belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya dalam keragaman dan skalanya, menciptakan risiko keamanan yang signifikan."Namun, pernyataan hari Selasa itu tidak secara langsung menyalahkan Moskow atas kerusakan kabel tersebut."Untuk memenuhi tantangan sejarah ini, kami bertekad untuk berdiri bersama dengan mitra Eropa dan transatlantik kami untuk berpikir dan bertindak besar tentang keamanan Eropa," pernyataan itu juga mengatakan. "Negara-negara Eropa harus memainkan peran yang lebih besar lagi dalam memastikan keamanan kita sendiri, bertindak bersama mitra transatlantik dan global kita."Penyedia layanan data milik negara Finlandia, Cinia, mengatakan kabel data yang terputus terdeteksi pada hari Senin di kabel C-Lion1 yang membentang hampir 750 mil dari ibu kota Finlandia, Helsinki, ke kota pelabuhan Jerman, Rostock. C-Lion1, yang ditugaskan pada tahun 2016, adalah satu-satunya kabel komunikasi data Finlandia yang berjalan langsung dari negara Nordik tersebut ke Eropa tengah, menurut penyiar publik Finlandia YLE."Kabel data antara Finlandia dan Jerman rusak dan layanan [terputus]. Pihak berwenang Swedia sedang menyelidiki karena lokasi tersebut berada di perairan Swedia," kata seorang pejabat senior Eropa.Kementerian luar negeri Finlandia dan Jerman mengatakan dalam pernyataan bersama mereka sendiri bahwa kerusakan itu terjadi pada saat "keamanan Eropa kita tidak hanya terancam oleh Rusia tetapi juga oleh perang hibrida oleh aktor-aktor jahat."Pernyataan itu mengatakan bahwa kedua negara sedang menyelidiki insiden tersebut, dan bahwa sangat penting bahwa "infrastruktur penting" seperti itu dijaga keamanannya."Fakta bahwa insiden seperti itu langsung menimbulkan kecurigaan atas kerusakan yang disengaja menunjukkan betapa volatilitas zaman kita," tambah kedua negara tersebut.’ Anders Hagstrom, Jennifer Griffin dan Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

45 Aktivis Pro-Demokrasi Hong Kong Dihukum Hingga 10 Tahun Penjara di Bawah Hukum yang Didukung China

(SeaPRwire) - Pihak berwenang di Hong Kong menjatuhkan hukuman penjara hingga 10 tahun kepada 45 aktivis pro-demokrasi terkemuka pada hari Selasa karena melanggar undang-undang yang luas yang diberlakukan di wilayah tersebut oleh China.Para aktivis dituduh setuju untuk memveto anggaran yang diusulkan pemerintah secara membabi buta setelah mengamankan mayoritas untuk memaksa pembubaran badan legislatif dan pengusiran akhir pemimpin kota tersebut.Dari 47 orang yang didakwa, 31 mengaku bersalah atas konspirasi untuk melakukan subversi, sementara 14 lainnya dinyatakan bersalah setelah menjalani persidangan. Dua lainnya dibebaskan.Penindakan drastis tersebut menuai kritik dari negara-negara Barat. Australia, yang memiliki seorang warga negara di antara mereka yang dijatuhi hukuman, keberatan kepada pihak berwenang di Hong Kong dan Beijing atas langkah tersebut.Menteri Luar Negeri Australia Penny Wong mengatakan pemerintahnya "sangat prihatin" atas hukuman yang dijatuhkan kepada warga negara Australia Gordon Ng.Para pejabat di Inggris Raya juga mengutuk langkah tersebut, dengan mengatakan bahwa itu adalah contoh lain dari Beijing yang menggunakan undang-undang keamanan nasional 2021 untuk memadamkan suara-suara pro-demokrasi."Mereka yang dijatuhi hukuman hari ini sedang menggunakan hak mereka atas kebebasan berbicara, berkumpul, dan berpartisipasi dalam politik," kata Catherine West, yang menjabat sebagai menteri untuk Indo-Pasifik di Kementerian Luar Negeri Inggris.Konsulat AS di Hong Kong menyatakan pandangan serupa, mengutuk hukuman tersebut."Kami menyerukan kepada (Beijing) dan pihak berwenang Hong Kong untuk menghentikan penuntutan yang bermotif politik terhadap warga Hong Kong dan untuk segera membebaskan semua tahanan politik dan individu yang dipenjara karena advokasi damai mereka untuk hak dan kebebasan," katanya dalam sebuah pernyataan.Penjatuhan hukuman tersebut terjadi kurang dari sebulan setelah dua jurnalis pro-demokrasi di dijatuhkan hukuman penjara karena kegiatan "berisi hasutan" dan "ideologi ilegal."Chung Pui-kuen, 55, dan Patrick Lam, 36, dinyatakan bersalah pada bulan Agustus karena berkonspirasi untuk menerbitkan materi yang bersifat hasutan melalui media outlet Stand News mereka. Chung adalah mantan pemimpin redaksi Stand News dan menerima hukuman penjara 21 bulan. Lam, penerus Chung, dijatuhi hukuman 14 bulan tetapi waktunya dikurangi karena berbagai faktor, seperti waktu yang dijalaninya sebelum persidangan dan kondisi kesehatannya.Kedua pria tersebut adalah jurnalis pertama yang dihukum karena kejahatan tersebut di Hong Kong sejak Inggris menyerahkannya kepada pada tahun 1997.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Cruz mengatakan resolusi draf PBB terhadap Israel bertujuan untuk melemahkan pemerintahan Trump yang akan datang dan Kongres GOP

(SeaPRwire) - YERUSALEM— Hanya beberapa jam sebelum dijadwalkan untuk memberikan suara pada resolusi anti-Israel yang didorong oleh Aljazair untuk mengakhiri perang pembelaan diri negara Yahudi melawan Hamas, pemerintahan Biden telah bungkam tentang bagaimana mereka akan memberikan suara.Ironi dari Aljazair yang terkenal anti-Israel yang menyusun resolusi tersebut mengingatkan pada kalimat jenaka mendiang Duta Besar Israel untuk PBB, Abba Eban, yang mengatakan, "Jika Aljazair memperkenalkan resolusi (PBB) yang menyatakan bahwa bumi itu datar dan Israel telah meratakannya, itu akan lolos dengan suara 164 banding 13 dengan 26 abstain."Resolusi yang diusulkan telah memicu kemarahan dari beberapa pihak, termasuk seorang senator Republik terkemuka AS."Resolusi ini hanyalah salah satu dari beberapa serangan terhadap Israel yang direncanakan di Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa, yang dimaksudkan untuk secara preemptif dan permanen merusak pemerintahan Trump yang akan datang dan Kongres Republik," kata kepada Digital."Saya akan bekerja sama dengan kolega Republik saya dan dengan Presiden Trump untuk mengambil langkah-langkah apa pun yang diperlukan untuk membatalkan langkah-langkah ini, termasuk secara fundamental mengevaluasi kembali hubungan kita dengan PBB dan Palestina, secara luas memangkas bantuan, menjatuhkan sanksi pada pejabat tertentu yang bertanggung jawab atas langkah-langkah tersebut, dan melawan pemerintah dan LSM yang mendorong atau menerapkannya," katanya. Digital melaporkan minggu lalu bahwa para ahli PBB percaya bahwa pemerintahan Biden mungkin berusaha untuk , di mana ia gagal untuk memveto resolusi anti-Israel pada minggu-minggu terakhir pemerintahannya.Duta Besar AS untuk PBB Linda Thomas-Greenfield menyampaikan pidato pada hari Senin di badan dunia tersebut tetapi tidak membahas rancangan resolusi yang tertunda. Namun, ia mencatat, "Amerika Serikat telah menjalankan kepemimpinan dan tekad dalam mengejar tujuan yang jelas: Akhiri perang di Gaza — akhiri perang di Gaza dengan mengamankan pembebasan sandera, sambil meningkatkan bantuan kepada warga Palestina, yang tidak memulai dan tidak dapat mengakhiri konflik ini. Hindari perang regional yang lebih luas sambil dengan tegas melawan proxy teroris Iran dan kegiatan yang tidak stabil, dan menunjukkan komitmen yang teguh dan belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya terhadap keamanan Israel." Digital menghubungi dan misi Amerika Serikat ke PBB untuk memberikan komentar tentang rancangan yang diusulkan.Anne Bayefsky, Presiden, Human Rights Voices di New York, mengatakan kepada Digital, "Sekutu Hamas sedang menantikan prospek pemerintahan Biden yang akan keluar menolak untuk memveto resolusi anti-Israel yang dijadwalkan untuk diadopsi di Dewan Keamanan PBB pada hari Selasa." Dia mengklaim, "Selama berminggu-minggu, Amerika Serikat telah sibuk memilah-milah ketentuan rancangan, yang bocor ke media berita Al Jazeera dan Al-Arabiya.""Operasi PBB-AS adalah untuk berpura-pura semuanya tentang kemanusiaan, padahal justru sebaliknya. Ini menjamin untuk memperpanjang perang dan penderitaan sandera dan mengabaikan penyebab akar sebenarnya: Iran, antisemitisme, dan penolakan ilegal terhadap hak pembelaan diri Israel. Jika diadopsi, itu akan menjadi resolusi Dewan Keamanan kelima yang diizinkan Presiden Biden untuk lolos sejak 7 Oktober yang bahkan tidak mengutuk Hamas," katanya.Berbicara sebelumnya di Dewan Keamanan, Duta Besar Israel untuk PBB, Danny Danon, mengkritik rancangan resolusi tersebut, dengan menyatakan, "Resolusi apa pun yang tidak mengkondisikan gencatan senjata pada pembebasan sandera berarti meninggalkan 101 sandera ke neraka monster teroris."Danon menambahkan, "Keputusan yang dipromosikan di Dewan ini hanya memperkuat Hamas dan terorisme dan meninggalkan sandera. Kita tidak dapat membiarkan PBB mengikat tangan Negara Israel dari melindungi warganya, dan kita tidak akan berhenti berjuang sampai kita mengembalikan semua pria dan wanita yang diculik ke rumah."Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Netanyahu Konfirmasi Serangan Israel terhadap Iran Menghantam Program Nuklir Selama Serangan Balasan Oktober “`

(SeaPRwire) - Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Netanyahu mengatakan serangan pada akhir Oktober lalu telah menurunkan sebagian program nuklir Teheran."Ini bukan rahasia," kata Netanyahu dalam pidato Knesset yang dilaporkan oleh Times of Israel. "Ada komponen spesifik dalam program nuklir mereka yang terkena serangan ini."Terlepas dari komentar perdana menteri, sebelumnya telah disangkal bahwa program nuklir Teheran yang ambisius, yang telah berupaya ditingkatkan sejak runtuhnya perjanjian nuklir Rencana Aksi Komprehensif Bersama (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) pada tahun 2018, telah menjadi sasaran serangan bulan lalu.Pejabat keamanan Israel mengkonfirmasi bahwa situs-situs militer telah menjadi sasaran selama serangan semalam pada 26 Oktober yang menimbulkan kekhawatiran di kalangan pemimpin global tentang perang total karena kedua negara meningkatkan jalur serangan langsung satu sama lain.Komunitas internasional, bersama dengan pemerintahan Biden, berusaha untuk kembali bernegosiasi dengan Teheran untuk melawan pengembangan nuklirnya, meskipun sia-sia.Badan pengawas nuklir PBB, Badan Energi Atom Internasional (IAEA), awal tahun ini memperingatkan bahwa program nuklir Iran sebagian besar tidak terkendali selama enam tahun terakhir, dan diyakini telah meningkatkan pengayaan logamnya hingga tingkat kemurnian 60%; hampir mendekati uranium tingkat senjata, yang diperkaya hingga kemurnian 90%.Tetapi Direktur Jenderal IAEA Rafael Grossi telah memperingatkan bahwa fasilitas nuklir Iran tidak boleh menjadi sasaran karena Israel meningkatkan operasi langsung terhadap Teheran.Netanyahu tidak menjelaskan bagaimana program nuklir Iran telah terpengaruh setelah serangan bulan lalu, tetapi pada hari Senin ia dilaporkan mengatakan bahwa itu tidak cukup untuk sepenuhnya menghalangi jalan Iran untuk memperoleh senjata nuklir.Israel menghancurkan fasilitas penelitian senjata nuklir aktif di Parchin, sekitar 20 mil tenggara Teheran.Grossi mengunjungi dua situs nuklir Iran minggu lalu dan mengatakan akan terlibat dalam pembicaraan tingkat tinggi dengan Teheran untuk mendorong Iran mematuhi perjanjian internasional dan perlindungan nuklir.Dalam pesan yang kemudian diposting ke X, Menteri Luar Negeri Iran Abbas Araghchi mengatakan dia siap untuk terlibat dalam pembicaraan internasional tetapi menyatakan Teheran tidak akan menyerah pada tekanan ketika Presiden terpilih Donald Trump kembali ke Gedung Putih dengan apa yang diyakini banyak orang akan menjadi pendekatan yang jauh lebih kuat dalam hal Iran."Bola ada di lapangan EU/E3," kata menteri luar negeri tersebut mengacu pada tiga negara Eropa, Prancis, Inggris, dan Jerman, yang mewakili kepentingan Barat, termasuk AS, selama pembicaraan nuklir."Bersedia bernegosiasi berdasarkan kepentingan nasional dan hak-hak yang tidak dapat dicabut, tetapi tidak siap untuk bernegosiasi di bawah tekanan dan intimidasi," kata Araghchi.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Integrasi MetGen dengan NewEnergyBlue Akan Menghasilkan Berbagai Produk Biokimia yang Dimurnikan dari Limbah Pertanian “`

(SeaPRwire) - LANCASTER, Pa. dan KAARINA, Finlandia, 18 Nov 2024 — NewEnergyBlue, perancang teknologi bersih kilang biomassa yang mengubah limbah pertanian menjadi biofuel dan biokimia yang sangat terdekarbonisasi, dan MetGen, pelopor Finlandia dalam enzim canggih dan fraksinasi lignin, hari ini mulai mengintegrasikan teknologi dan unit bisnis terbarukan mereka untuk bersaing secara ketat dengan produk karbon fosil, tidak hanya secara lingkungan tetapi juga secara ekonomi. “Teknologi konversi biomassa NewEnergyBlue, yang ditambah dengan kemampuan MetGen, dapat menciptakan beragam biokimia bernilai lebih tinggi dan rendah karbon tanpa membuang satu molekul pun,” kata Alex Michine, pendiri MetGen. “Kami membayangkan kemitraan ini memberikan solusi end-to-end spesifik dari bahan baku hingga produk jadi yang akan menarik banyak investasi modal untuk membangun proyek penyulingan biomassa di seluruh dunia.” Kilang biomassa pertama NewEnergyBlue di AS diperkirakan akan mulai beroperasi pada tahun 2027 di Mason City, Iowa. Dengan mengolah tangkai jagung lokal yang tersisa selama panen biji-bijian tahunan, New Energy Freedom dapat menghasilkan 21 juta galon biofuel generasi kedua dan 150.000 ton lignin bersih. “Kami tahu cara memecah biomassa menjadi gula bersih dan lignin bersih—dasar dari semua tumbuhan,” kata Thomas Corle, Ketua dan CEO NewEnergyBlue. “MetGen telah menghabiskan 18 tahun mengembangkan enzim yang dapat melakukannya dengan lebih ekonomis. Dan teknologi fraksinasi lignin yang dapat ditingkatkan untuk memperluas pasar bernilai tinggi bagi kami.” Sekitar setengah dari lignin New Energy Freedom dapat menjadi padatan yang digunakan produsen aspal sebagai pengikat alami, menggantikan bitumen berbasis minyak dalam pengaspalan jalan. Setengah lainnya akan berupa cairan: fenol berkinerja tinggi untuk peralatan olahraga seperti Nike, mainan seperti Lego, dan bahan konstruksi tahan api; poliol ramah lingkungan untuk busa insulasi yang kuat namun ringan; dan fraksi lain untuk kardus yang lebih ringan, lebih kuat, dan tahan cuaca yang mungkin digunakan perusahaan seperti Amazon untuk kemasan tahan lembap tanpa selotip. “Kami sangat senang dengan platform netral karbon yang mengubah aliran lignin kami menjadi berbagai bio-produk yang harganya kompetitif dibandingkan dengan produk turunan minyak,” kata Corle. “Ini secara signifikan meningkatkan pendapatan dan keuntungan dari operasi kilang biomassa.” Di luar keuntungan finansial adalah manfaat lingkungan yang mengubah permainan. Produk berbasis lignin MetGen mengurangi emisi gas rumah kaca hingga 90% dibandingkan dengan pembakaran lignin untuk energi. Ini selaras dengan target iklim global dan lebih lanjut menggarisbawahi komitmen para mitra terhadap transformasi industri yang berkelanjutan. “Saat kami meningkatkan teknologi konversi MetGen di kilang Freedom, integrasi ini juga menghadirkan peluang baru bagi Finlandia sebagai pusat strategis,” kata Matti Heikkila, yang memimpin operasi MetGen. “Kami berencana untuk proyek lignin-ke-kimia komersial di sebelah laboratorium Kaarina kami pada awal tahun 2026.” Lignin akan berasal dari Meliora Bio, kilang Denmark yang memproses jerami gandum menggunakan teknologi biokonversi Inbicon. MetGen telah menguji lignin dan menemukannya “sangat cocok untuk teknologi pemisahan kami.” MetGen bermaksud untuk mengeksplorasi bahan baku alternatif, seperti black liquor, dan mengembangkan produk bernilai tinggi baru dengan keunggulan lingkungan yang kuat. “Kita baru memulai—seperti industri minyak pada abad lalu,” kata Heikkila. Setelah bertahun-tahun membantu mengembangkan teknologi Inbicon, NewEnergyBlue baru-baru ini membelinya dari Ørsted. Selama lima tahun ke depan, rencana tersebut menyerukan pembangunan empat kilang Amerika tambahan yang sepenuhnya menggabungkan teknologi Inbicon dan MetGen. “Untuk Midwest, ini berarti pekerjaan konstruksi dan manufaktur yang baik, pendapatan kedua bagi petani jagung, dan revitalisasi pedesaan,” kata Corle. Di wilayah bubur kertas dan kertas, Corle melihat peluang baru untuk penyulingan lignin dan bubur kertas yang dapat menghidupkan kembali industri yang sedang berjuang. Secara internasional, minat sudah sangat tinggi untuk melisensikan platform teknologi dan bisnis perusahaan untuk menyuling bagasse tebu, tangkai jagung, jerami gandum dan biji-bijian lainnya, dan rumput energi seperti miscanthus. “Menambahkan teknologi MetGen memungkinkan kita untuk menceritakan kisah keuangan dan iklim yang kuat.” Kontak Media:Roger Moore717-224-0245 SUMBER New Energy BlueArtikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

HEROWORKS Accelerates Digital Transformation in Hospitality with AI Revenue Management Solution SeaPRwire

HEROWORKS Accelerates Digital Transformation in Hospitality with AI Revenue Management Solution

Seoul, Korea – November 19, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) – HEROWORKS, a leading hospitality tech company in Korea, unveils a new AI revenue management service tailored for global hotels. – AI Chatbot: An AI-based automated response system exclusively for hotels – CRM (Customer Relationship Management): Up & cross-selling and customer-tailored product recommendation system The new service includes an AI Chatbot system that automatically responds to customer inquiries and a CRM system that offers customized product recommendations based on customer data. Through the chatbot, continuous engagement and management with customers are maintained, while AI marketing functions such as up-selling and cross-selling personalized products strengthen the digital transformation of hotel operations. Up-selling refers to suggesting higher-value alternative products to customers, while cross-selling involves encouraging customers to purchase related products together. Both strategies are effective marketing methods for enhancing customer satisfaction and increasing revenue. HEROWORKS’ ‘AI Chatbot’ service is an AI-based system that automatically responds 24/7 to customer inquiries regarding hotel information searches, room reservations, and questions arising during room use. This service collects and stores information through various channels such as booking engines and websites and learns data related to the hotel’s rooms, products, prices, and services to generate responses to customer inquiries automatically. Additionally, it allows hotels to monitor customer inquiries in real-time, supporting efficient management of customer queries. The ‘CRM’ service is a system that automatically proposes personalized products to customers based on hotel and customer data. By integrating customer information such as the time remaining until their hotel visit, reserved rooms, products, and planned stay dates with the current status of available rooms and products, it can suggest additional purchases of products with a high probability of purchase by the customer. For example, for families traveling with children, it might recommend package deals that include children’s programs or breakfast. HEROWORKS’ ‘AI Chatbot’ enhances existing chatbot services by adding AI capabilities to automatically respond to a wide range of inquiries beyond predefined questions. Its multilingual support feature enables all customers to communicate in their native languages, effectively eliminating language barriers. Furthermore, HEROWORKS’ new services improve the service operation methods that were previously only available through hotel front desks on the day of check-in, allowing services to be accessible regardless of time and location. Typically, hotels propose up-selling options such as room upgrades or additional breakfast based on the room status on the day of check-in. However, customers often decline good proposals due to budget constraints. In response, HEROWORKS offers customized products in advance during the lead time period, allowing customers to adjust their travel budgets or schedules, thereby resolving the temporal and spatial limitations of hotel operations. CEO Lee Chang-ju of HEROWORKS stated, “Following our price management and review management services, with the launch of our new AI Chatbot and CRM services, we aim to complete a comprehensive revenue management service that manages the entire customer journey from booking to review writing.” He added, “We are currently in discussions with numerous promising tourism companies and plan to refine our digital transformation solutions optimized for the global market to meet the needs of local hotel enterprises.” Meanwhile, HEROWORKS provides AI revenue management solutions to accommodation facilities and supplies customized data to companies, research institutes, schools, and local governments that require tourism and lodging data. The company actively engages in professional data analysis and processing, supplying data to platforms such as Korea’s cultural big data platform and the Korea Tourism Data Lab of the Korea Tourism Organization.

APTEXPO 2024 concludes on a high note, offering numerous innovation opportunities for decision-makers across the Asia Pacific’s fashion and supply chain sectors

SINGAPORE, Nov 15, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - APTEXPO 2024, the global platform for top decision-makers in textiles, apparel, fashion and their supply chains, has concluded its inaugural edition after an exciting three days of activities in Singapore. With industry players in attendance for on-stage panel discussions, numerous new product launches and showcases, and high-level closed-door discussions, the convention has elevated the stage for resounding change.From 2000 to 2020, Asia's population grew by an additional 1.7 billion people, which has brought challenges like inventory surpluses and inefficiencies. Export volumes increased by 50 billion units, with an estimated 70% of these products ending up in landfills or incineration facilities. If left unaddressed, these could exacerbate system-level disruptions that affect consumers and their way of life. These challenges present an opportunity not only to responsibly minimise negative externalities and maximise operational efficiency alone in Asia but also to invest in innovation, growth and long- term value creation in its supply chains.Yet, reshaping and enhancing supply chain resilience is a complex, time consuming, and costly exercise that requires the trust and cooperation of active supply chain and business partners. ASEAN countries and the broader Asia-Pacific region are well placed to offer businesses, especially Asian brands, a unique opportunity to strengthen their supply chains, equipping them for a more sustainable future.The diversity in the profiles of the attendees — who represent organisations involved in various aspects of textiles, apparel, fashion and other supply chain activities across various geographies — demonstrates APTEXPO 2024’s central role in connecting the textile and apparel supply chain worldwide.A significant milestone was reached on Day 1 of APTEXPO 2024 by formally signing a collaboration agreement. APTEXPO 2024, with the support of the founding associations AFTEX and CNTAC, inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Lazada Group, which sees both organisations formally agree to come and jointly deploy their capabilities to promote emerging fashion brands from Asia.From Left to Right: Yap Shook Fung, Vice President, MP Singapore, Liang Peng Cheng, Executive Vice-Chairman, Sub-Council of Textile Industry, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT TEX), Jason Chen, Group Chief Business Officer at Lazada & Chief Executive Officer at Lazada Singapore.“Through this MOU with APTEXPO, Lazada will work closely with Asian manufacturers to help them build, promote and expand the reach of their brands to our vibrant customer base across the six Southeast Asian economies where we operate. What sets Lazada apart is our dynamic ecosystem, our vast logistics infrastructure and cutting-edge technology, and our deep market insights across Southeast Asia. We’re excited to leverage these strengths to empower brands, enabling them to seamlessly enter and thrive in this diverse region”, said Jason Chen, Group Chief Business Officer, Lazada and Chief Executive Officer, Lazada Singapore.Delegates after the formal signing of the MOU.“APTEXPO 2024 has shown that innovation in textiles and fashion is a team effort—across geographies, industries, and expertise. The future of fashion is shifting eastward, and APTEXPO 2024 is evidence of the global demand for unique Asian brands,” said Liang Peng Cheng, Executive Vice Chairman of the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT TEX).On Day 2 of APTEXPO 2024, visitors discovered many solutions like Browzwear’s leading 3D apparel design software, which bring tremendous potential for application. Top-tier innovations from up-and- coming Asian designers, representing delegations from the Singapore Fashion Council (SFC), the Confederation of Wearables Exporters of the Philippines (CONWEP), Quanzhou Pavilion and the Ningo Committee of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), were also on display to visitors at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre, the convention’s premises this year.On Day 3 of APTEXPO 2024, two formal networking sessions were held, connecting participants for introductions, strategic dealmaking and other forms of collaboration for sustainable textiles production and Chinese market opportunities. Further to the panel discussions held on Day 1 (more info can be found here), they also heard from experts from Douyin, Lazada, AFITTY Solutions and others at two exclusive closed-door workshops that covered industry-relevant discussions on sourcing, branding and investment opportunities in the Asia Pacific region.“We are excited to be part of the inaugural APTEXPO 2024. We believe this was a good start and an excellent platform to springboard the restructuring of the textile and apparel supply chain industry, strengthening the ecosystems between the different markets within the Asia-Pacific region. We intend to work with our partners and stakeholders to continue the momentum that has been set this year and to accelerate the transformation in 2025 and beyond”, said Jason Ng, Managing Director, MP Singapore.Through its programming lineup, APTEXPO continues to deliver opportunities for collaboration and change-making in the textiles and fashion ecosystem. APTEXPO will be back in Singapore in November 2025.For more information on APTEXPO 2024, please visit ap-texpo.com.Hashtag: #aptexpohttps://ap-texpo.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/aptexpo-2024https://www.facebook.com/aptexpo2024/About AFTEXASEAN Federation of Textile Industries (AFTEX) was established in 1978 with the objective to promote common trade position and cooperation among textile and apparel industry in ASEAN member countries in line with the objective of the ASEAN Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ASEAN-CCI).Every year, AFTEX hold its regular meetings plus side events on a rotational basis among member countries to discuss concrete issues of significant relevance to the regional growth and development of the textile and apparel industry, ranging from ASEAN trade linkages to workforce development, from trade fairs & investment promotion to sustainability issue, from regional cooperation to broader partnerships, and more.About CNTACChina National Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC) is a national federation serving China's textile and apparel industry and enterprises.

As businesses grapple with such a complex environment, it is evident that effective supply chain management is the essential engine that drives sustained growth in global trade. It plays a pivotal role in combating uncertainty and future-proofing business operations. Reflecting the vital importance of Asian supply chains in today’s interconnected world, this year’s ALMAC will zero in on global business opportunities and supply chain management.Chan Kwok-ki, Acting Chief Executive of the HKSAR, said in his special address: “We see long-term opportunity in Hong Kong’s rise as a green and smart port. Our Action Plan on Maritime and Port Development Strategy outlines that promising future, including building green fuel-bunkering capabilities. Just three days ago, we published an action plan on developing Hong Kong into a green maritime fuel-bunkering centre. Combining our aviation and maritime strengths, Hong Kong has long been a major cargo gateway to and from the Greater Bay Area.”He additionally mentioned: “We will also step up efforts to develop Hong Kong into a cross-boundary, e-commerce logistics and distribution centre. This year’s Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference is all about creating a resilient and sustainable future for global supply chains. And Hong Kong is determined to play a vital part in that promising future.”As the engine of business operations, supply chain management plays a pivotal role in combating uncertainty and future-proofing development.

Loay Mashabi, Managing Director, Saudia Cargo, Louis Tang, Managing Director, Ocean Network Express (East Asia), and Delia Sun, Head of Supply Chain Management, DKSH. The session explored supply chain diversification and how emerging markets in Asia, the Middle East and North America can help enterprises build more resilient networks.Two Air Freight Forums explore Hong Kong’s future as an aviation hubBeginning operations at the end of this month, the Hong Kong International Airport three-runway system will significantly enhance the airport’s passenger and cargo capacity and help consolidate Hong Kong’s position as an international aviation hub. Co-organised with the Airport Authority Hong Kong, two air freight forums “Cargo Aviation Hub of the World” and “Digital Air Cargo and Global Trade Ecosystem” feature experts including Tom Owen, Director, Cargo, Cathay Cargo, Dereje Derero, Managing Director, Ethiopian Cargo and Logistics Services, Ming Chan, Associate Fintech Director, Financial Infrastructure Department, Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and Philip Chan, Head of Wholesale Digital, Hang Seng Bank, to discuss how the cargo industry can enhance Hong Kong’s competitive edge as an international aviation hub through collaboration in premium warehousing, digital technology, and talent development.Day 2 focus on sustainability and green energy, 5 workshops will be held in the afternoonGiven society’s greater emphasis on climate change action, more and more businesses across different industries are striving to reduce their carbon footprint and move towards net-zero emissions.

Luesak Chakrabandhu, President of The Association of Thailand Open Source Federation, highlighted the event's significance. "We have to understand the challenges, difficulties, and limitations of Thailand in terms of business expansion.

By automating workflows, streamlining testing processes, and ensuring security through practices like DevSecOps, DevOps ensures that software can be delivered rapidly and securely, without compromising quality.
