Eco Expo Asia opens next week to drive carbon neutrality

HONG KONG, Dec 8, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – The Eco Expo Asia 2022, jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd and co-organised by the Environment and Ecology Bureau of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), will run from 14 to 17 December at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). The Expo will adopt the brand-new EXHIBITION+ model, which allows exhibitors and buyers to extend interactions from the physical fair to the online platform "Click2Match" until 24 December. The last day of the event on 17 December is open to the public for free to encourage them to take part in green activities and practise green living.

HKTDC Deputy Executive Director Sophia Chong, spoke at the press conference today to introduce the exciting content of this year's Eco Expo Asia.

The Japanese Pavilion will participate in this year's Expo with its largest line-up ever with the full support of the Hong Kong Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Japan External Trade Organization.

The new policy address is committed to promoting green transportation and JC Motor Limited has brought the latest BYD electric taxi and electric vehicle to showcase at the press conference.

The Expo is expected to attract over 220 exhibitors from nine countries and regions including Mainland China, Singapore and Taiwan in Asia, and France, Germany and Sweden from Europe. The Canadian and Japanese pavilions will also return this year, with the Japanese pavilion showcasing its largest line-up ever of innovative technology and products from the environmental protection sector.

HKTDC Deputy Executive Director Sophia Chong, said in the press conference: "Green industries have significant growth potential and are crucial to the sustainable development of the economy. Relevant polices and regulations have already been stipulated and implemented in many countries and regions. The Expo aims to catalyse cooperation and exchange within the environmental protection sector and across industries to help companies generate business opportunities, and work together to achieve carbon neutrality".

Bruno Luk, Deputy Director of the Environmental Protection Department of the HKSAR Government, hoped that the Expo could advocate green innovation and technology, foster environmental protection cooperation and exchanges between the Government and the industries. It should also facilitate global green business connections, and encourage the public to adopt a green and low-carbon lifestyle so that all walks of life in Hong Kong can join hands to undertake a deep decarbonisation journey to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality before 2050, and narrate the good environmental stories of Hong Kong.

Japan Pavilion returns to the Expo with the largest line-up ever

This year, the Japanese Pavilion is fully supported by the Hong Kong Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry as well as the Japan External Trade Organization.

The "Green Transportation" zone at the Expo will showcase the latest electric vehicles and charging facilities to help the industry seize business opportunities.

Other resolutions passed included the reappointments of eligible directors up for re-election.

Group Managing Director of SCIB, Encik Rosland bin Othman, said, "We are happy to engage with our shareholders virtually in the AGM today and answer their questions. On behalf of SCIB, I would like to thank them for having placed their trust and confidence in us at what has been a challenging period. We would also like to thank both Dato' Dr. Ir. Ts.

SCIB's geographical scope expanded to Peninsular Malaysia in recent years and we are also seeking EPCC opportunities in neighbouring Kalimantan in which our manufacturing business can play a pivotal role. To ensure business sustainability, we have also adopted technology such as 3D printing for construction as we transform to meet the challenges of the present and the future."

As of 30 November 2022, SCIB has an order book of RM564.7 million with earnings visibility until 2026.

CleverTap Unveils RenderMax

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and MUMBAI, India, Dec 7, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – CleverTap, the World's #1 Retention Cloud today unveiled RenderMax – a proprietary technology that can increase mobile push notification render rates up to 90% on low-end Android devices.

Push notifications have the power to increase customer retention rates anywhere from 3 – 10 times. Most marketers just focus on their push notification delivery rates, but a "delivered" notification that doesn't render on the user's device is a wasted effort. For those who equate delivery and rendering as equal, render rate is the percentage of the number of push notifications the end user received (and were rendered) on the user's device compared to the total number of push notifications that were sent.

All Chinese OEM devices use a custom variant of the stock Android OS. To optimize battery consumption, these OS variants are configured to bypass the Google/Firebase push delivery service, resulting in low delivery rates and even lower render rates.

RenderMax gives CleverTap customers a significant competitive advantage as they can now engage users they could not before and elevate the ROI from their push campaigns. This is especially true for devices that are in battery saver mode or cannot be reached due to inactivity.

"RenderMax is a testament to our continued commitment towards product development and innovation. Low render rates stifle the true potential of mobile push notifications. We are confident that with RenderMax, brands will be able to harness the full power of push notifications. What's interesting is that we are offering RenderMax to all customers at no additional cost to any brand that wants to try it out," said Anand Jain, Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer, CleverTap.

Betterhalf, India's first and only marriage super app was provided an early access to RenderMax and their push notification render rates more than doubled! Shankar Krishnamurthy, Group Product Manager, Betterhalf said, "At Betterhalf, mobile push notifications are critical for our business. With CleverTap's innovative RenderMax solution our push notification render rates have skyrocketed to 85%."

RenderMax powers up the render rates of customers' push notifications, amplifies the push notification reach, and maximizes user engagement. Enhancing the reach of push notifications can help CleverTap customers lower costs, increase engagement and conversion rates, and reduce churn.

"The CleverTap platform has a great breadth of capabilities, and this innovative mobile push solution will certainly help them stay much ahead of the competition," Shankar added.

CleverTap RenderMax works with Android OEMs such as Oppo, Xiaomi, Vivo, One Plus, POCO, Realme, and Samsung.
