The 8th Edition REITS Asia Pacific 2023 held on 16th March 2023

Singapore, Feb 27, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Asia's highly established REITs and real estate securitization event, REITs Asia Pacific 2023 is back again for the 8th edition. The prior REITs Asia Pacific conferences were trailblazers and were instrumental in developing investor interest in the Singapore REIT market. Next year, the event will continue to play host to the Asia Pacific REIT industry recognition event – The Asia Pacific "Best of the Breeds REITS Awards" 2023.

Investors today face concerns over rising inflation and higher interest rates. This is in stark contrast to the past few decades of low interest rates. Nevertheless, there are still attractive opportunities in Asian REITs where new growth drivers are emerging.

There are new growth drivers in the Asian REIT market, such as the growth of e-commerce and logistics, which are driving demand for warehouses and distribution centres. Additionally, the rapid urbanization in Asia has resulted in increasing demand for residential and commercial properties, providing significant investment opportunities for REITs.

Meanwhile the rising adoption of cloud-based services is driving the construction of hyperscale data centres in Asia. The data centre market in Southeast Asia is expected to grow at a compounded average growth rate of 6% from 2019-2025, with Singapore having the greatest potential followed by Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

Across Asia, demand for technology parks is also surging, in part driven by government policies seeking to leverage on innovation to drive economic growth. In India, new technology parks are being positioned to be production hubs aimed at both domestic and international markets. In China, demand for technology parks is rising amid the government's push for greater technological self-reliance.

With increasing awareness and understanding on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and sustainable investing, investors are starting to appreciate how sustainability impacts the valuation of the REITs they are investing in. The bottom lines of REITs are closely linked to how its operations are managed. Sustainable REITs are able to better manage their energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions while enjoying better tenant retention and higher occupancy rates. The demand for sustainable buildings in Asia Pacific currently exceeds supply, allowing landlords to charge a premium above prevailing rents.

The diversity within Asia's REITs markets means that active managers can leverage on the unique characteristics of the different segments and their cyclical dynamics to increase portfolio yield.

The Asia Pacific Best of the Breeds REITs Awards 2023 features some of the market's most influential market makers and thought leaders and will celebrate the crowing of Asia's most outstanding players in the REITs market.

The competition was jointly organised by the HKTDC, the Hong Kong Jewellers' & Goldsmiths' Association, the Hong Kong Jewellery & Jade Manufacturers Association, the Hong Kong Jewelry Manufacturers' Association and the Diamond Federation of Hong Kong. It promotes local jewellery design excellence, nurtures talent for the industry and showcases Hong Kong-made jewellery to international buyers.

Winners and guests at the awards presentation ceremony of the 24th Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition

Open Group Best of Show Award – Title of design: Dandelion. The Power of Life; Designer: Tang Yuk Ying; Category: Pendant/Brooch

Student Group Champion and Craftsmanship and Technology Award – Title of design: life – cybercity; Designer: Mak Tin Long; Company: Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Master Studio; Name of school: VTC Youth College; Category: Pendant/Brooch

Themed "The Origin of Life", the competition was divided into the Open Group and Student Group. Hong Kong design talents were encouraged to create and craft enthralling jewellery pieces based on culture, upbringing and life experiences. This year's competition received nearly 100 entries. The winners were chosen by a panel of seven judges based on four criteria – creativity and innovation, aesthetics, craftsmanship and wearability, topic relevance and marketability (for the Open Group only). Winning pieces will be displayed at the Hall 1E Concourse during fair period, allowing jewellery buyers and exhibitors to appreciate the creativity in Hong Kong's original designs.

Open Group brims with original ideas and exquisite designs

Three Best of Show Awards were given out in the Open Category. Tang Yuk Ying clinched the award with her pendant/brooch design Dandelion. The Power of Life. Using a rotating corolla adorned with green garnets, the designer vividly portraits the perseverance and bravery of the dandelion as its seeds ride the wind into the unknown and adversity, it can always take root, survive and thrive.

Another Best of Show Award winner was Law Tsz Wan. His design, Rice, pays homage to Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice". The gold-green pendant/brooch illustrates the sparkling vibrance of a rice stalks and emblems Mr Yuan's invention and his contributions to mankind.

Xu Qihua and her bracelet/necklace design Ocean of Life took home the third Best of Show Award. The design originates from a Greek myth about dolphins guarding oceans. Depicting dolphins darting between waves, the designer urges the wearer to help protect the water resources, ocean and life.

Student Group exudes boundless creativity

To inspire more young design talents to join the jewellery design profession, the competition includes a Student Group, open to students from Hong Kong's registered schools. Mak Tin Long from the VTC Youth College, championed the Group with the pendant/brooch design Life – Cybercity. Its manufacturing company Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Master Studio won Craftsmanship & Technology Award. The design comprises of water molecules, tree roots, tree trunks and skyscrapers made of silver, enamel, topaz and zircon stones projecting a city built on water and Earth's mineral resources, illustrating the importance of harmony between urban development and the nature.

The Student Group's First Runner-up went to Lee Kwan Ho of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His men's jewellery series The Beetles was inspired by the World Tree, a mythical tree of life. The design features three rhino beetles living in the world tree with a lifespan of only one year, urging humans to experience and cherish life despite the transience of time, life and youth.

The Second Runner-up of the Student Group was Leung Kwok Yee from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Her Taoist-inspired ring design The Creation of Entirety uses different materials to represent different elements of life: Pink and green tourmalines represent "yin" and "yang"; cabochon sapphire means the growth of different species; and the five elements are illustrated by white crystals, interlocking coin shapes (water) on the ring shank, cabochon sapphires on branches (soil and wood) and a burning fire shape in the middle.

HKTDC welcomes 2023-24 Budget

HONG KONG, Feb 22, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) welcomes the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) 2023-24 budget, which allocates additional funding of HK$550 million over five years to the HKTDC to help Hong Kong enterprises seize opportunities arising from the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) development as well as tapping into emerging markets and stepping up global promotional efforts.

HKTDC Chairman Dr Peter K N Lam delivers opening remarks at the Asian Financial Forum 2023. HKTDC will organise mega events in Hong Kong, Mainland China and key overseas markets to attract investment and talents, creating business opportunities for the city.

HKSAR Chief Executive Mr John Lee led a week-long mission to the Middle East in February 2023, during which 13 MoUs were signed, including three MoUs for the HKTDC – with Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Dubai Chamber and Invest in Sharjah.

In the coming months, the HKTDC will organise more than 10 large-scale exhibitions and conferences in Hong Kong, welcoming many exhibitors and buyers from Mainland China and overseas.

HKTDC Chairman Dr Peter K N Lam said: "We are grateful for the support from the Financial Secretary. The HKTDC will fully support these measures to continue to strengthen Hong Kong's role as an international business centre, tell the good stories of Hong Kong and capitalise on the city's distinctive advantages of enjoying strong support from the Motherland, while being connected to the world. Covering a wide range of industries, the HKSAR 2023-24 budget facilitates Hong Kong's economic revitalisation and reflects the HKSAR Government's commitment to realise high-quality economic development. The HKTDC will work closely with the HKSAR Government to create new opportunities for different industries and help them capitalise on national development, enabling them to diversify and grow on the road to recovery."

Market expansion through HKTDC events

Dr Lam added that the HKTDC has been helping Hong Kong businesses expand to new markets over the years, especially the vibrant BRI countries, Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) economies and GBA, and will continue to engage in a series of promotional activities to support growth aspirations of businesses.

These include product-focused SmartHK and product-focused ChicHK in the GBA in May, while we will promote the Hong Kong brand and its many advantages in Thailand in July with our Think Business, Think Hong Kong campaign.

In addition, the HKTDC will set up a Hong Kong pavilion in major trade events in Mainland China, such as the China International Consumer Products Expo in Hainan in April and China International Import Expo in Shanghai in November. The HKTDC will help local businesses explore emerging markets through business missions.

Promote high-quality development

The 2023-24 budget aims to promote high-quality economic growth that matches with national development strategies, focusing on areas, such as finance, sustainable development, innotech and biotech.

Dr Lam added that these are the Council's promotional focuses and will cover these elements in HKTDC's flagship events, including the Asian Financial Forum, the inaugural InnoEx, Asian Summit for Global Health as well as Belt and Road Summit and Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference. The HKTDC will also cover green economy and sustainability in its SME support schemes.

Dr Lam concluded: "Reducing profits tax, extending the SME Financing Guarantee Scheme and enhancing the BUD Fund will help ease operational pressures of local businesses, especially SMEs. Driving development through innovation and technology and green transformation will help diversify our economy and support local businesses expand to new markets and seize new opportunities. The HKTDC will continue to play a pivotal role in Hong Kong's road to recovery."

BREATHE! Convention Pursues ISO Certification For Environmentally Sustainable Web3 Practices

LAS VEGAS, NV, Feb 20, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – BREATHE! Convention has announced its pursuit of the Edenark Group ISO 14001 environmental sustainability certification program as part of a dedicated effort for more sustainable and environmentally responsible Web3 practices.

The Edenark Group ISO 14001 is the world's premier environmental sustainability certification program, designed for small to mid-sized enterprises to attain the world's most popular environmental certification standard in a program that is specifically designed and priced for them. This certification program helps organizations progressively improve at a pace that works for their needs, defining how they interact internally, externally, and with the environment.

"When an organization pursues, and attains, the Edenark Group ISO 14001 Sustainability Certification, they are not just doing it to see their costs go down and revenues and profits go up. They are setting a higher bar for their organization and sending a signal to all those around them," said David Goodman, CEO of Edenark Group in regards to the pursuit of the ISO certification. "They are agreeing to adhere to the world's gold standard for sustainability certification; are choosing to be a leader and part of the solution, not the problem; and are joining an elite fraternity of over 300,000 organizations, in over 150 countries, that have committed to continually improve in every way."

This pursuit for ISO certification has made BREATHE! the world's first Web3 convention of its kind to do so. BREATHE! Convention has also consciously demonstrated sustainable practices with the decision to occupy 120,000 square feet of the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) and to partner with Renaissance Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) has implemented initiatives in the convention center to save energy, conserve water, reduce waste, and reduce emissions, in addition to having a commitment to build on current successes and maintain a proactive approach towards future sustainable activities.

BREATHE! Convention has made Renaissance Hotel by Marriott its Official Hospitality Partner. Conveniently located just 223 walking steps from the Las Vegas Convention Center, Renaissance Hotel Las Vegas property is a four diamond, fourteen-story, 400,000 square feet, non-gaming, smoke-free hotel that has achieved recognition for its sustainable commitment since 2017.

Shawn Willis, Founder & CEO of 5AM Global/BREATHE! Convention, stated, "The Edenark Group ISO 14001 Sustainability Certification will both help to hold us more accountable and help to inspire, motivate, and set a standard for other companies who aspire to take the same steps. The company culture and processes of 5AM Global and its production of BREATHE! Convention are built around solutions to reduce waste, manage risk, personal and professional development, and philanthropy for our employees, clients, and strategic partners."
