Shanghai Data Exchange Goes International, Becomes New Channel for Foreign Digital Business

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 24 November 2022 – The first stop of the Global Data Ecosystem Conference 2022 kicked off in Singapore on the afternoon of Nov. 22. The Singaporean stop is themed “International Data Trading Practice and Data Ecosystem Construction” and will have Singaporean government departments and agencies, as well as well-known international institutions and companies, as guests. The conference aims to promote the high-level opening-up of the data factor market, activate internal technology and capital flows and trade logistics relying on data flows, share data exchange practices, and co-build a new global data ecosystem according to the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA), the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), and other internationally generally accepted rules for the digital economy.

The Singaporean stop is an important part of this year’s conference. It is hosted by the Shanghai Data Exchange under the guidance of the organizing committee of the Global Data Ecosystem Conference and co-hosted by Yicai Media Group, with the help of SGTech, the leading trade association for Singapore’s tech industry, the International Data Spaces Association, Cosco Shipping Technology, and Chinese blockchain conglomerate OKG.

The success of the Singaporean stop is a good start for the conference. It helps build access to the international data factor market and data exchange, pursues and strives for development with a global perspective, advances the construction of a new global data ecosystem, and is also a significant gateway.

The conference will reportedly hold 20 high-level forums in Shanghai, Singapore, Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Hefei on the themes of “Basic Institutional Theories for Data Factors,” “Laws, Standards, Rules for Data Factors,” “Data Factor Exchange Ecosystem,” “Key Technologies for Data Factor Circulation,” “Data Factor Asset Practice,” and “Global Cooperation of Data Factors.” More than 500 data ecosystem companies and professional agencies, as well as over 200 guest speakers, will participate in the conference to discuss new forms, patterns, and development directions of the data ecosystem and promote data factor circulation and the development of the digital economy.

Shanghai and Singapore Share Opportunity as China Opens Up

The report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China stressed accelerating the development of the digital economy, further integrating the digital economy with the real economy, and building internationally competitive digital industry clusters. The digital economy is becoming a key force in reorganizing global factor resources, reshaping the global economic structure, and changing the global competition pattern. It is also an important foundation for accelerating the transformation of human society and promoting the construction of digital civilization. China is speeding up the application to join the CPTPP and the DEPA to match the world’s leading international rules on the digital economy, expand the opening up of the digital economy, and promote the orderly flow of data. Singapore has been successful in building a data factor market in recent years, and SGTradex, a data-sharing and exchange platform based on trade logistics, and SGFinDex, a data-sharing platform based on finance, have laid a solid foundation for Singapore’s digital economy.

With the mission of “building a data factor market and promoting data capitalization,” the Shanghai Data Exchange has set up the first overseas branch, in line with the positioning of building a national data exchange. The Shanghai Data Exchange picked Singapore as the first stop for “going overseas” and officially established a liaison office there to lay the foundation for the construction of the Shanghai Data Exchange’s international department, bridge Shanghai and Singapore, and promote the interconnection of their data ecosystems, so as to provide experience for international data flow principles and step up the global layout of the digital business ecosystem. Lu Yong, vice president of the Shanghai Data Exchange, and Antoine Cadoux, chief executive officer of SGTraDex Services, jointly unveiled the Shanghai Data Exchange-Singapore Liaison Office.

Heavyweight Guests Discuss About New Ecology of International Data Exchange

Lu Yong introduced the scale, main driving forces, development speed, and other factors of China’s data circulation and exchange market in a keynote speech named “Data Factor Market Building in China.” He noted that the “data ecosystem,” a concept first proposed by China, plays an indispensable role in data generation, innovative use, data circulation and exchange, data technology innovation, data governance and management, and others. China’s experience in data ecosystem development will be beneficial to promote the integrated development of the international data ecosystem, Lu pointed out.

Antoine Cadoux, Boris Otto, managing director of the Fraunhofer ISST and deputy chairman of the IDSA Board, and Lars Bäumann, IDSA ambassador to China, gave keynote speeches on data exchange practice sharing, telling their experiences in data exchange in Singapore and Europe.

In recent years, global companies have been working to create unified systems and platforms for data management, API services, and more. Kam Yoke May, engineering productivity director of the Government Technology Agency of Singapore, gave a keynote speech on “API Exchange (APEX),” demonstrating the innovative practice in public data opening and sharing.

James Liu, director of Financial Services at Google, made a speech titled “Make the World a Better Place Through Innovation & Disruptive Technology.” David Ng, Deloitte SEA Consulting, AI & Data director, gave a keynote speech on “Data Service Provider Practice.”

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, the global digital economy has entered a new stage. Alternative data covering a wide range of sources are widely used in various fields and have become an important production factor in the digital economy era, making the analysis and evaluation of alternative data an indispensable part of an economic situation analysis and business decision-making. The event featured a “Fireside Chat” themed “Alternative Data Innovation in Asset Management,” moderated by Jay Shen, senior expert of BAM Asia Pacific Data Strategy Partnership. Andrew Sun, chief revenue officer of CriAT, Alice Zhang, sales director of Datayes, David Dcolella, general manager of YipitData, and Lu Yong attended the event to discuss the innovative application and value of alternative data in different fields.

Xiao Shiqi, product director of OKLink, talked about “Web 3.0 Technology & Data Exchange.” He said that Web 3.0 is essentially a data evolution driven by technological innovation, as well as an industry ecology dedicated to data capitalization. Xiao believes that Web 3.0 can provide new ideas and solutions for the development of the data factor market from the aspects of data, technology, and application. Blockchain data, as an important part of the future data factor market, is greatly relevant to the future of cutting-edge innovations, including the blockchain industry and Web 3.0. However, as it is still in an early stage, the blockchain data industry needs more institutional players to promote the common prosperity of its ecology and the data factor market.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 24 November 2022 – Pattern, the category leader for global ecommerce acceleration, recently closed another successful Singles’ Day sales event—driving accelerated growth for its partner brands during the world’s largest online shopping festival.

Pattern’s total gross merchandise value (GMV) in China during the 2022 Singles’ Day sales period was up 180% over the previous year—outperforming the market, which saw comparable GMV generated during Singles’ Day 2022 to the previous year.

Throughout the event, Pattern analysts observed strong demand for high-quality foreign products—a signal that Chinese shoppers are continuing to pursue quality over price. Health-related products, in particular, saw elevated demand driven by consumer preferences for prioritising personal health.

“A robust Double 11 sales event demonstrates the resilience of China’s economy, especially in the face of global economic headwinds, COVID-19 outbreaks, and supply chain disruption,” said Pattern Chief International Officer Chris Vincent. “As the second-largest economy in the world, China continues to be one of the most exciting opportunities for Western brands to expand their customer bases and drive growth.”

Pattern’s unique business model, local expertise, and patented ecommerce acceleration technology were all factors in the company’s 2022 Singles’ Day success. Partner brands that have been trading with Pattern in China for more than a year experienced an 88% uplift in sales year over year, on average, with many seeing their products in the top 10 of their respective categories.

“There’s nothing we love more than helping brands accelerate their growth, especially during a massive sales event like 11.11,” said Pattern Asia General Manager Arthur Cheung. “The strong result we delivered during Singles’ Day speaks to our relentless drive to support our brand partners in adapting to China’s unique ecosystem—leveraging a mixture of on and off-platform advertising, live streaming, influencer marketing, and localised content that resonates with Chinese shoppers.”

Representatives from the top 20 CII Constituent Companies awarded the CII Awards 2022 Certificates.

In response to the Hong Kong government’s mission to develop Hong Kong into an innovation hub, the Asia-Pacific Institute of Business (APIB), the executive education arm of CUHK Business School, launched CII in April 2021, with The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (HKGCC) as a strategic partner. The project is initiated by APIB’s Executive Director Professor Cheung Waiman and is funded by the Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC) of the Hong Kong government under the General Support Programme (GSP).

With the aim of energising Hong Kong’s economy with innovation in the digital age, CII is designed to provide an innovation management and assessment tool that helps promote innovation culture, enhance innovation capabilities and recognise achievements in technology adoption among large corporations and SMEs in Hong Kong.

It recruited more than 200 companies to undertake the CII 2022 survey questionnaire, which examined their innovation performance during 2021. The companies come from a wide range of industries, including retail, trading and logistics, manufacturing, tourism and hospitality, business and professional services, financial services and fintech, property, construction and proptech, information, technology and communication, healthcare and biotech.

Speaking at the awards presentation ceremony, Professor Rocky S. Tuan said, “Innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility are at the heart of CUHK’s vision and mission. We seek to become an agent of positive change in knowledge, attitudes and practices in relation to innovative and sustainable development of Hong Kong and elsewhere, and we believe that there is plenty of room and opportunities for the University to collaborate with the industry and the Government. Today, we are thrilled to unveil the inaugural ‘Hong Kong Corporate Innovation Index’ to celebrate the achievements of the top-ranked companies, as well as to inform policymakers on the current trends of innovation in the Hong Kong corporate landscape for the advancement of the innovation and technology ecosystem in Hong Kong.”

Congratulating APIB on its successful inaugural CII, Ms Rebecca Pun said, “Innovation and technology (I&T) provides key impetus for Hong Kong’s high‑quality economic development. We will further enhance the I&T ecosystem and re‑industrialisation. Particularly, we will introduce a new funding scheme, namely, the ‘Research, Academic and Industry Sectors One-plus Scheme’, ‘RAISe+ Scheme’ in short, in the coming year to provide funding on a matching basis for research teams in universities which have good potential to become I&T start-ups, so as to encourage more collaboration among industry, academic and research sectors to drive the ‘1 to N’ transformation of outstanding R&D results and the tech industry development.”

The Hon Duncan Chiu added, “I would like to express my heartiest congratulations on the success of the Corporate Innovation Index Awards Presentation Ceremony and Forum 2022. This event provided those aspiring to drive innovation and transformation with a unique exchange experience where creativity is encouraged, expertise in application of technology is cultivated, and enterprises’ attainment of excellence and innovation is recognised.”

Professor Zhou Lin remarked, “By introducing the first-of-its-kind corporate innovation index in Hong Kong, we hope to extend our culture of innovation to the wider community and create a network of cross-sector experts in business innovation.”

Top 20 CII Constituent Companies and 25 Star Award SMEs in 2022 were honoured at the ceremony. WeLab Bank, HSBC and Hang Seng Bank were awarded the top three innovative corporations for achieving the highest scores in the CII 2022 survey.

Henderson Land Development Company Limited has been awarded Double Platinum Certification for technology in real estate for The Henderson

The Henderson is among the first commercial projects in Hong Kong to have obtained such certifications, which is a reflection of the Group’s unwavering dedication to providing first-class digital connectivity and exceptional smart building standards. The Henderson has been designed and engineered to provide the best workplace experience for its tenants at the heart of Hong Kong’s vibrant central business district. As the epitome of the Group’s mission to set world-class standards of sustainability and innovation, The Henderson is now on par with global landmarks such as the Shard in London and the Empire State Building in New York which has also received these prestigious Platinum certifications.

Rated against the pioneering architectural projects around the world based on the WiredScore Certification system (including resilience, tenant experience, mobile, choice of providers and future readiness), The Henderson has been awarded the highest Platinum certification for its high resiliency level on telecommunication services with TGT’s Glass-in-Gas technology, high-speed ring connection backbone and unique triple lead-in design. The smart and human-centered design features of The Henderson also earned the highest level of recognition in the SmartScore Certification system, which measures the technological capabilities of a building and its ability to provide its users with an exceptional experience.

The Henderson is highly sought-after by businesses that share the Group’s vision of embracing forward-thinking design and technology to enhance sustainability and workplace quality. With its state-of-the-art innovative and sustainable design, The Henderson is well positioned to provide the most comfortable environment with world-class facilities. A dedicated tenant platform, Integrated Tenant Experience Analytic Platform (ITEAP), has been established to ensure tenant-centric smart building experiences, in which its defined data schema and optimized analysis models enable near real-time interaction between building operators, tenants and the assets. The insightful analytics on user behaviour provides a basis to deliver tailored services and adaptive customer experiences for tenants to enjoy. This data will be visualised as a dashboard so that senior management can monitor The Henderson‘s ESG performance and also respond in real time to property operations.

To ensure close attention to the health and wellbeing of the tenants, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors are installed throughout The Henderson to enable seamless monitoring of the building environment so that optimal performance in indoor climate and air quality can be maintained. The extensive use of fault-predicting artificial intelligence and smart designs are all rooted in the commitment of The Henderson to provide the best support for flourishing businesses around the clock, fulfilling the needs of globalised business trends throughout the day in a resilient and stable manner. A multi-purpose, intelligent tenant mobile app harnessed with the power of artificial and emotional intelligence, as well as multi-language support, will also enable thoughtful user experiences to enrich the lives of the tenants.

Commenting on the accreditations, Kristine Li, Senior Deputy General Manager of Portfolio Leasing Department of Henderson Land, said, “We are thrilled to achieve both WiredScore and SmartScore Platinum for The Henderson, which are further recognition of our leadership in designing smart buildings and setting the standards of modern-day property development. In addition to our industry-first Landlord-Individual-Tenant (LIT) ESG Partnership Programme, these honours are an endorsement of the Group’s unstinting commitment to reshape the current landscape in the property sector and to champion industry-leading sustainable practices in Hong Kong.”

She continued, “The Henderson is the embodiment of our ambitions to build a future workplace that allows great ideas and smart business to flourish from within. Apart from international business leaders such as Christie’s and Carlyle who have already cast a vote of confidence by becoming The Henderson’s tenants, we welcome like-minded business pioneers and leaders in their respective industries to embark on a shared journey towards a sustainable future with us at The Henderson.”

Prior to these latest WiredScore and SmartScore Platinum certifications, The Henderson had already received numerous awards and accolades, including the Grand Award (New Buildings Category: Projects Under Construction and/or Design – Commercial) at Green Building Award 2021, as well as Platinum Pre-certification in both WELL Building Standard (WELL) and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
