A Reimagined Vision of The Future of Digital Banking

DUBAI, Mar 16, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – "Our challenges have changed but we still share similarities with ancient banking times, when we were all looking for fast-paced abilities to adapt banking delivery to our lifestyle challenges," said Noelia Romanillos – Head of Financial Services GTM South Europe & UKI at ServiceNow – at this year's 2nd Annual Future Banks Summit MENA which took place last week at Swissotel Al Murooj, Dubai, UAE. In a highly digitalized world, we tend to notice an ongoing trend – every aspect of society is going through a technological transformation, especially when we're looking at banking and finance. Today, both individuals and corporations have the ability – round-the-clock – to look into their financial information, make payments and proposals, and perform a whole host of transactions with the click of a few buttons.

This month, Verve Management hosted its 2nd Annual Future Banks Summit MENA, where attendees explored the path to fintech transformation within the region, eventually making it a global leader in finance. This has much to do with the region embracing advances in technology, to steer the industry toward the direction of delivering efficient products and services to a young demographic in order to meet the expectations of the digital consumer. Concerning untapped potential, the region is well-positioned to become a sizeable territory for effective digital banking innovation, which is what key industry professionals focused on throughout the course of the two-day summit.

This heightened digitalization can, however, be a double-edged sword. Through the course of his keynote discussion on the era of digitalization, Vilmos Lorincz – Managing Director of Data Products at Lloyds Banking Group UK – provided the attendees with insight on rethinking business strategies in order to flourish within the ecosystem. "The compliance level is just the baseline; it's really important that you protect the data of people, ethically." He said, emphasizing the importance of data protection. The distinguished use of digitalization within the BFSI sector pushes the requirement for substantial regulations in order to eradicate any negative outcomes on both the workforce and the end consumer.

Through digitalization, the banking sector is viable to both innovation and a rise in entrepreneurship; however, some corporations are still wary about going digital due to the high level of risk involved. "Security and compliance must become part of the culture of organizations to mitigate risk truly," said Kiran Bafna – Managing Director – APAC, India & Japan at Thomson Reuters – on his views surrounding the steps taken to enable cultural change in a truly modern technological ecosystem. "Only if technological integration is in line with an organization's vision, true integration can take place," he added.

Some of the corporations in continual support of the Future Banks Summit MENA this year were our Gold Sponsors – Kissflow, ServiceNow & Enfint; our Silver Sponsor – Confirmation.com; our Bronze Sponsors – eMudhra, Keyless Technologies, Creatio + Banza, & Thought Machine; our Networking Sponsor – Trejhara; and our Associate Sponsor – System Technologies.
All in all, Verve Management was honored to be in the presence of some of the most renowned thought leaders – both internationally and regionally – focused on one goal, which was to explore the MENA region's financial landscape and the process through which it is driven by innovation and technological advancement.

analytica Vietnam 2023: The Largest Gathering of Laboratory Technology, Analysis and Biotechnology Professionals in Southeast Asia

HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM, Mar 16, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – After its three-year hiatus, the seventh edition of analytica Vietnam will be held in Vietnam once again. The show will take place at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam from 19-21 April 2023. At this time, the exhibition is expected to attract more than 5,000 diagnostic professionals, buyers and decision-makers from the ASEAN region – Asia's most booming region, along with delegates from more than 30 countries in the world. The number of exhibitors and exhibition space of the upcoming trade fair has already reached its pre-COVID-19 records and are projected to go beyond the interest level of the last edition in 2019.

A wide range of exhibitors – including Thermo Fisher Scientific, Shimadzu, Merck, Leco, ITS, DKSH, 2H Instruments, Scilab, Eppendorf and Waters, will be presenting a top-class range of innovative products for the diagnostic labs industry, with a firm focus on new technological developments within the sector. The show stands to attract a healthy mix of both domestic Vietnamese and international exhibitors, including suppliers from lucrative markets in Germany, Italy, UK, Japan, Canada, Korea, Czech Republic, USA, Singapore, India, Thailand and China.
Potential Market: Vietnam's rapid growing market has huge demand for diagnostic labs products

The Vietnamese Diagnostic Labs Market is expected to grow from USD1,087.51 million in 2021 to USD1,749.95 million by 2027, presenting an estimated CAGR growth rate of 6.79%. The country's GDP growth reached 8.02% in 2022. Foreign Direct Investment reached USD 27.72 billion. Import-Export Turnover hit USD 732.5 billion with a trade surplus of USD 11.2 billion. With high GDP growth and increased public investment, Vietnam offers great market opportunities. – General Department of Vietnam Customs.

One of the core driving factors for the booming Vietnamese Diagnostic Labs Market is the burgeoning spread of transmissible and non-transmissible diseases among the older generation. More efforts are now placed into the rapid advancement of diagnostic techniques in the country and key global companies have already signed up to leverage this growing industry.

The government is also working on revolutionizing the healthcare infrastructure by investing sizeable funds into the development and construction of hospital facilities and diagnostic labs.

This has led to a massive surge in research and development activities by key market players to upgrade the existing infrastructure and find innovative solutions to improve the accuracy of diagnostics tests – such as adopting artificial intelligence technology in the diagnostics industry.

The sector is expected to offset a positive trajectory for the growth of the Vietnamese Diagnostic Labs Market, providing fruitful opportunities for you and your company to thrive in the region.

"The opportunity to bring back the entire laboratory industry back together at analytica Vietnam proves to be an exciting time for the ASEAN region and our international players. The upcoming exhibition is proving to be garnering the same levels of interest pre-pandemic and we are truly excited to see the reunion of the laboratory diagnostics and analysis sector amongst old and new faces alike," Michael Wilton, CEO and Managing Director of MMI Asia Pte Ltd affirmed.

HKTDC MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse attract over 1,400 global industry professionals

HONG KONG, Mar 15, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse were held today. With this year's theme being "MASTER THE FUTURE", the event featured over 30 events and attracted more than 1,400 global industry professionals from 18 countries and regions.

HKTDC Executive Director Margaret Fong said in her welcoming remarks that enterprises must keep abreast of the latest market trends and consumer preferences to rise above the competition.

The MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse conference concluded successfully today, attracting more than 1,400 global attendees from 18 countries and regions.

PepsiCo's SVP and Global Chief Design Officer, shared his thoughts on integrating marketing and design. As PepsiCo's first CDO, Porcini revealed design insights on building stronger ties with customers through innovation and portending future design trends.

In her welcoming remarks, HKTDC Executive Director Margaret Fong said: "As global business exchanges gradually resume and new business opportunities emerge, enterprises must keep abreast of the latest market trends and consumer preferences to rise above the competition. With a line up of heavyweight speakers, the conferences featured more than 60 international speakers – including marketing executives, brand representatives, advertising professionals and e-commerce experts, who shared their success stories and provided insights into the latest marketing trends. Attendees, especially SMEs, received briefings on industry developments and how to capture business opportunities."

Think bigger about marketing and design

Heavyweight speaker Mauro Porcini, PepsiCo's Senior Vice President and Global Chief Design Officer, shared his thoughts on integrating marketing and design. As PepsiCo's first Chief Design Officer, Porcini revealed design insights on building stronger ties with customers through innovation, as well as portending future design trends. "We need to understand how to create something meaningful for people, creating products that are functionally relevant, that create an emotional connection, but that people are also proud about, that they want to share with the rest of the world," he said.

Brands need to grasp Generation Z's new consumer power

Highly connected and comfortable with technology, the values and spending preferences of Generation Z are likely to have significant impact on businesses' bottom line for some time to come. Gaetan Belaud, head of Spotify's global advertising agency, shared the listening habits and values of Gen Z, and dissected what such factors meant for brands. Belaud said: "One in five persons in Hong Kong is streaming on Spotify. Audio has taken the centre stage and people are streaming more, particularly the Gen Z population. For the Gen Z population, brands need to understand the kind of music or podcast they listen to, echo that in the brand message, and engage them in the conversation."

The global phenomenon of ChatGPT and new artificial intelligence (AI) applications

The pace of development in AI has been rapid. With the launch of ChatGPT, it has become a hot topic globally. Keith Li, Chairman of the Hong Kong Wireless Technology Industry Association; Shek Ka Wai, Founder of Online Marketing Player and Ivan So, Digital Marketing Consultant at HDcourse Limited; analysed the multiple applications of this revolutionary technology during a session at this year's conference. Li said: "The main trend we see is with generative AI and applying this to business use. We should focus… R&D on applying AI technology for solving real business problems."

Unique insights from heavyweight speakers

This year's event also focused on other hot global issues, including Web3, virtual idols, data-driven marketing, ESG, happiness and marketing, the future of retail and brand storytelling. In that spirit, many overseas marketing experts have come to Hong Kong precisely to present their ideas on marketing – including prominent figures in the field such as Silvia Garcia, former President of the Happiness Institute and Director of Global Marketing for Coca-Cola; Brian Yiu, CEO, FILA China; Moritz von der Linden, former Global Chief Digital Marketing Officer, Mars (2020-2022); Gao-na, Head of Mengniu Overseas business, Hong Kong and Macao region, Inner Mongolia Mengniu Dairy (Group) Company Ltd; Alex Zhou, Chief Customer Officer of POP MART; David Bell, Founder of Pretty Ballerinas; Louisa Zhu, Co-founder & CEO of Meta Human Centre, RM Group; and Bin He, Chief Customer Officer for Tim Hortons China.

Networking brings new business opportunities

In addition to the various sessions and Innotalks, an exhibition area was set up to showcase over 40 suppliers providing marketing services and e-commerce solutions, presenting Hong Kong's diverse and quality marketing services to attendees from overseas and Mainland China more broadly. Additionally, a matching service involving more than 180 businesses was also set up to provide one-on-one meetings between brand and marketing company representatives to facilitate collaboration. Towards the end of the event, a Happy Hour musical performance was held featuring Chris Polanco and Azucar Latina Band for brand representatives and marketing-related companies to unwind, exchange marketing tips and in general, broaden their networks in a somewhat more laid-back atmosphere.

This latest edition of MarketingPulse was supported by a number of organisations and industry associations, including the Hong Kong Federation of E-Commerce, Hong Kong Public Relations Professionals' Association, Hang Seng Bank, the Association of Accredited Advertising Agencies of Hong Kong, and IAB Hong Kong powered by HKDMA.

MarketingPulse Online available from 16 March until 15 April

The online platform for MarketingPulse will be accessible to industry professionals as of 16 March, until 15 April. During this period, they can continue to take advantage of the many features of the platform and revisit the various events online.

Hive Establishes Hive Village at BREATHE! Convention to Cover Cost of Exhibiting for Multiple Hive Projects

LAS VEGAS, NV, Mar 13, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – BREATHE! Convention has announced today that its "Center of the Universe Mainstage" sponsor Hive has established the Hive Village as part of its commitment to the projects involved in the Hive blockchain ecosystem.

Hive secured this Village by leveraging community funding to purchase individual exhibit spaces at BREATHE!, which allowed the ecosystem to give multiple projects exhibiting space directly on the Web3 convention's show floor at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

"At the heart of Web3 is the ability for everyone to move and engage freely while in control of their financial and social data, and the Hive blockchain was built with this freedom and growth in mind," said Crimsonclad from Hive. "As the fast feeless platform powering a growing expanse of social media, games, businesses and community hubs, Hive is thrilled to announce community funding covering the costs to bring a group of amazing projects and a Hive network showcase to exhibit at BREATHE! Thousands of attendees to this premiere event can visit the Hive village experience to discover the power of the Hive social blockchain and claim a unique username and wallet that unlocks an entire ecosystem of projects. Powered by a community, open to everyone, and truly decentralized, the Hive network is a blockchain where the users, developers, and businesses that are shaping our connected future are supported in building a more effective and more human decentralized web!"

The commitment of Hive to its projects came at a crucial time in Web3 history as developers, investors, and enthusiasts continue to look for a return in momentum that propelled massive Web3 innovations since 2021.

"This is Hive's way of investing back into their own ecosystem, and they're true leaders of blockchain for bringing to life such a simple but powerful concept," said BREATHE! Co-Founder & CMO Stormie Andrews. "The Hive Village allows attendees to get the full scope of the Hive ecosystem, where revolutionary projects get direct exposure to Web3 backers and leaders that was otherwise impossible. It's a win-win for everyone involved."

Andrews also remarked that the Village concept has grown rapidly in interest and queries as projects, like ones from the Hive blockchain network, look for reliable ways to make vital business and government connections in a stagnating 2023 global economy, thereby achieving much needed funding, marketing, and adoption goals.

Other protocols and ecosystems have the capability to set up their own Village at BREATHE!; however exhibition space is limited as the Web3 convention continues to finalize key areas on its showfloor. Interested projects are encouraged to reach out to BREATHE! Convention as soon as possible to secure a spot at the event.

The decision by Hive to sponsor the Center of the Universe Mainstage at BREATHE! and their initiative to create a Hive Village was also strategically made as a way to empower Hive users, projects, and followers with the education, experience, and entertainment available at BREATHE! Convention.

With workshops, panel discussions, and keynote presentations from industry experts, BREATHE! Convention is positioning itself as the must-attend event of the year for anyone currently involved and anyone exploring the Web3 space. The event will take place from May 3-5, 2023, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Visit www.breatheconvention.com to secure your ticket and to inquire about exhibiting at the convention.

With the Hive Village leading the way, BREATHE! Convention has continued to show increasing excitement across Web3 and blockchain communities as it sets itself as the definitive launchpad for the upcoming Web3 revolution.
