Guest-of-Honour Senior Minister of State for Ministry of Communications and Information & Ministry of National Development Mr Tan Kiat How will officiate the opening of BTA 2023 with an opening address and the official launch of Specialists Trade Alliance of Singapore (STAS)’s Shared Services Registry, a significant milestone in STAS’s commitment to digitalising the Built Environment sector.

The adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD) is a key enabler of transformation in the Built Environment sector. It is a digital spine that links project stakeholders throughout the entire building lifecycle. The Shared Services Registry serves the BIM and IDD procurement needs of stakeholders, especially SMEs, in their digitalisation journey. The pilot was successful, and the Shared Services Registry will be scaled up to implement more rigorous quality checks and open up for public registration from Q3 2023.

Experience Tomorrow’s Built Environment in person

BTA 2023 will deep-dive into three dimensions of emerging technologies and solutions that are making an impact on industries today – Digitalisation, Smart Construction (Robotics & Automation) & Green Construction (Sustainability). To better demonstrate the utilisation of new technologies and solutions, BTA 2023 has curated and will be introducing two new experiential zones:

  • The Smart Construction Experience Zone, powered by Tractors Singapore Limited (TSL), a leading equipment dealer in Singapore distributing a full line of Cat® machines and engines such as the Excavator 320 and the Vibratory Soil Compactor CS11GC

BTA 2023 will also see returning key industry players such as Buildo Engineering Pte Ltd, Lingjack Digital Pte Ltd, PDS International Pte Ltd and SPC Industries Sdn Bhd, who are looking forward to showcasing how their latest equipment and solutions can meet evolving building and construction needs.

Bridging knowledge gaps and addressing industry challenges

BTA 2023 will also be launching its inaugural Built Environment Transformation Forum, where industry leaders and experts will be sharing about post-pandemic collaboration opportunities as well as trends and policies pivotal to the Built Environment Sector. Kicking off the forum is a fireside chat on sector transformation with Mr Heng Teck Thai, Deputy CEO (BuildSG Office) of the Building and Construction Authority (BCA).

  • Improving measurement accuracy with 3D laser scanning by Mr Mika Honkavuori, Entrepreneur, RECURE
  • Establishing proper data preparation platforms to facilitate accurate retrieval of AI datasets by Mr Kevin Quah, Founder & CEO, Tictag

Propelling ahead with sustainability efforts

BTA 2023 is also the first event in Singapore EXPO to be piloting the sustainability measurements proof-of-concept under Singapore’s MICE Sustainability Roadmap with SACEOS to measure event waste and carbon emissions. Together with Singapore EXPO, BTA will be coordinating closely with its exhibitors, suppliers and partners to identify waste drivers and boundaries, and generate actionable insights for the industry to make informed decisions to achieve net zero by 2050. Singapore EXPO, managed by Constellar, also recently announced key investment projects towards achieving Net Zero by 2024.

“The pilot deployment of the sustainability measurements proof-of-concept at BTA 2023 will offer the Singapore MICE industry valuable insights and experience from diverse perspectives. These are especially important to Constellar as both an exhibition organiser and MICE venue operator, and will enable us to play a meaningful role in the MICE eco-system where collaboration with partners is the only way to reach the scale of impact needed,” said Mr Jean-François Quentin, Group Chief Executive Officer, Constellar.

World Blockchain Summit Set the Stage for a Decentralized Future with Ground-breaking Insights and Collaborations

DUBAI, Mar 23, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The 24th edition of World Blockchain Summit – Dubai 2023, under the patronage of HH Sheikh Juma Ahmed Juma Al Maktoum, brought over 2,000 industry leaders, technology pioneers, and institutional web3 investors, all under one roof.


Photo credit – Sandeep Nailwal, Co-Founder, Polygon Labs speaking at World Blockchain Summit Dubai, March 2023


The event opened with the Start-up Grand Slam Pitch Competition that featured some of the most exciting new projects entering the market and was judged by a jury comprising global investment leaders like Woodstock, Cipher, and Ghaf Capital Partners.

The winner of the competition was the public blockchain project String3.

The 2-day summit agenda featured industry pioneers like Sandeep Nailwal, the Co-Founder of Polygon Labs; Dominic Williams, the Founder and Chief Scientist of DFINITY Foundation; Sunny Lu, the Co-Founder and CEO of Vechain; Mohammad Alblooshi, the Head of Innovation Hub and Fintech Hive at DIFC; and Alex Ziner, Global Head, Ledger Enterprises, among others.

One of the most anticipated topics of discussion during the summit was decrypting the regulatory landscape of virtual assets, featuring Erwin Voloder, Senior Policy Fellow at European Blockchain Association, Jason Allegrante, Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, Fireblocks, Saqr Ereiqat, Co-Founder & Managing Director, Crypto Oasis and moderated by Dr. Sid Ahmed Benraouane, Dubai Government Advisor.

The panelists discussed the positive long-term impact of new regulatory frameworks being developed in technology hubs like Dubai that are designed specifically for Web3.

The main event of the summit was Sandeep Nailwal's fireside chat with Kevin Soltani, CEO & Founder, of GIMA Group during which he spoke candidly about the biggest challenge for blockchain being scalability to go mainstream. However, with continued development, network effects and ZKroll-ups, a large player like Instagram can theoretically create billions of NFTs using smart contracts which opens up new horizons for blockchain adoption and a real inflection point. He went on to state, "The next frontier of DeFi will come from institutional players."

In an interview after his fireside chat on stage, Sandeep noted, "My whole purpose of coming to this event is to meet the builders. What are they building? What are the new ideas that are coming up? What are the new trends? Because this is where you see what people are trying to do. The experience was good. It's good to meet the community on the ground."

In speaking of the role of events like the World Blockchain Summit, Naveen Bharadwaj, Group CEO, of Trescon, noted, "Blockchain is not just a technology, it's a mindset that has the power to transform industries and reshape the future. At World Blockchain Summit, we're committed to driving meaningful conversations and collaborations that will unlock the true potential of this revolutionary technology."

Health-ISAC Releases Annual Report on Current and Emerging Cyber Threats to Healthcare

ORMOND BEACH, FL, Mar 22, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Health-ISAC, a nonprofit, member-driven organization, has published its annual cyber threat report on current and emerging threat activity in collaboration with Booz Allen Hamilton Cyber Threat Intelligence.


The annual threat report enables healthcare security professionals worldwide to ensure operational resilience by enhancing situational awareness and strengthening their ability to detect, mitigate and respond to cyber threats.

Health-ISAC's Current and Emerging Healthcare Cyber Threat Landscape report reviews and analyzes the cybercriminal, geopolitical and nation state threats healthcare organizations currently face, as well as threats on the horizon, such as product abuse and synthetic accounts. As noted in the report, an increase in connected medical devices also increases the attack surface of healthcare institutions. While newer medical device designs have improved cybersecurity controls, organizations must prepare for and defend across a broad spectrum of technology while also dealing with software end-of-life issues in legacy medical devices and the many cyber threats detailed in the report.

"Healthcare professionals can use the Health-ISAC annual threat report to not only stay ahead of the day-to-day threats facing the health sector but they can use the information strategically to communicate long-term challenges the sector is facing and help justify additional investments in cyber security spending and where more resources are needed – all in the name of improving patient safety and security," said Denise Anderson, Health-ISAC President & CEO.

The report was published for Health-ISAC members only in February. A public, executive summary was released as part of this press announcement.

"While cyber adversaries continue to get more creative as shown in Health-ISAC's annual threat report, simple attacks, like social engineering, are unfortunately still very effective. Information security practitioners who believed Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) was the silver bullet are now reeling from major breaches that leveraged social engineering and technical measures to defeat it," said Errol Weiss, Chief Security Officer at Health-ISAC. "All of this spells the need for continuous awareness – we need to stay on top of new threats and attack techniques, and most importantly, active information sharing that provides for community defense that will ultimately help improve the resilience of our healthcare sector networks."

ABOUT HEALTH-ISAC

Health-ISAC – a nonprofit, private sector, member-driven organization – plays an essential role in providing situational awareness around cyber and physical security threats to the Healthcare Sector so that companies can detect, mitigate, and respond to ensure operational resilience. Health-ISAC connects thousands of healthcare security professionals worldwide to share peer insights, real-time alerts, and best practices in a trusted, collaborative environment. As the go-to source for timely, actionable, and relevant information, Health-ISAC is a force-multiplier that enables healthcare organizations of all sizes to enhance situation awareness, develop effective mitigation strategies and proactively defend against threats every single day.

Casa, in 2022, commenced drilling to confirm a substantial gold "resource" of 400,000 to 500,000 tons (365,000 to 455,000 tonnes) grading 0.3 opt (9.33 g/t) that were reported in 1989 by Echo Bay Mines, the most recent explorer/operator. Republic Goldfields Inc., dba Malartic Hygrade U.S. Inc., subsequently reported production of 28,500 ounces gold from 125,000 tonnes (i.e. 0.23 opt). Over the course of its history, the Congress gold mine has produced about 400,000 to 500,000 ounces of gold from underground workings and once supported a full ore processing plant, complete with a small frontier-style town. After more than 100 years of intermittent activity, the mine last operated in 1992. The above-quoted numbers cannot be verified and have not been audited by a Qualified Person, and do not conform to current NI 43-101 standards and should not be relied upon in any evaluation of the Congress Gold Mine.

Gold occurs with vein quartz and in strongly silicified granite.

Congress Mine property, located in Yavapai county, central Arizona, comprises 105.2 hectares (260 acres) of patented land and 200.2 hectares (494.8 acres) that were acquired by staking. Casa Minerals Inc. owns a 90% interest in the historic claims from 40 feet depth and beyond and an undivided 100% of the staked ground. A 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty is payable on production from the patented claims and certain surface rights to depth of 12.2 metres (40 feet) are held by a third party.

Other Properties
