Together, they bring decades of leadership in community development, philanthropy, and social impact work.

In her remarks, Amelia Roziman, CEO of Business Events Sarawak, highlighted the broader vision:
“Business events have immense potential to be a force for good, leaving behind a legacy that extends far beyond the conference walls. By co-locating Kind Borneo with our Legacy 360 Conference, we are providing a practical platform for our industry to directly engage with and understand the needs of local NGOs. This transforms CSR from a concept into actionable, sustainable, and impactful support for communities.”

The event also featured a vibrant NGO Gallery, showcasing 17 associations and community-based enterprises, providing visibility for their initiatives and forging new opportunities for collaboration with business and government stakeholders.

Commending SMU as a “crucible of innovation” with a “pivotal role in fostering innovation and entrepreneurship among students”, Mr. Heng noted that the LKYGBPC, co-created with student leaders, is a prime example and a necessary convening platform.

Concurring with Mr Heng, SMU President Professor Lily Kong acknowledged the role of over 100 such students participating in the organizing of the competition with SMU. “What began as startup scouting and international roadshows grew into supporting mentors and judges and buddying next-gen founders, forging friendships and partnerships along the way,” she said. “The student-pitch showcase from our local tertiary institutions reflects how SMU contributes to Singapore as a national launchpad—connecting global deep-tech startups with our student talent, opening direct pathways to internships, career opportunities and hands-on experiences.”

Universities are also in good stead to partner with and gather stakeholders to amp up the knowledge flow within the ecosystem. The inaugural Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) Conversations, organised in collaboration with the Singapore Green Finance Centre and SMU Urban Institute, sponsored by Climate Impact X, DBS and Google, took place during the LKYGBPC Finals Week where it convened 30 leading corporates; heads of sustainability, forward-thinking policymakers, and next-gen innovators to drive candid dialogue and strengthen cross-sector alignment.  (See CSO Conversations | Lee Kuan Yew Global Business Plan Competition for more details)

The Road Ahead

Looking to the future, Mr. Heng emphasised that Singapore’s collective and coordinated Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) efforts remain critical to Singapore’s progress.

He described SMU’s Urban SustaInnovator, which National Development Minister Chee Hong Tat launched just a few days ago, as a key initiative in commercialising research into globally competitive and impactful solutions. The deep tech accelerator programme will also serve as a teaching accelerator, to expose the local workforce to global best practices, informing important stakeholders in the consortium of developments in the fields and expanding Singapore’s deep tech talent pool, thereby strengthening the nation’s innovation agenda. 

“Supported by a founding consortium of private and public partners, the USI aims to nurture high-potential deep tech start-ups with a ‘Singapore Inc. Advisory Board’ to accelerate and multiply positive impact on the world. This strong nexus between academia and industry sharpens our academic research edge and enables enterprises to be at the forefront of innovation.” All participants of LKYGBPC will get an exclusive opportunity to apply for the Urban SustaInnovator, advance their technology and grow their business.

Building a Sustainable Future for Natural Diamonds
During the three-day exhibition, De Beers Group successfully hosted multiple events, including a Breakfast Meeting, Show & Tell, and Natural Diamonds Leadership Forum, gathering global industry leaders to look ahead at trends and developments in natural diamond industry. At the Breakfast Meeting, Paul Rowley shared the latest progress of “Origins”, while Lynn Serfaty highlighted the Group’s initiatives in natural diamond category marketing and elaborated on the unique charm of Desert diamonds.

The Natural Diamond Leadership Forum hosted by De Beers Group emerged as a significant highlight of this year’s exhibition, offering forward-looking perspectives and profound insights. At the first panel – Innovation in the Diamond Value Chain: From Technology to Customer Experience, Wesley Tucker, CEO of Tracr, shared customer engagement strategies centered on technological evolution. In-depth discussions focused on how to drive the future growth of the natural diamond industry and tap into fast-growing markets such as China. Tucker stated, “As a core component of the ‘Origins’, Tracr leverages blockchain technology to ensure the origin and traceability of every natural diamond. We are not only building a reliable technology platform but also committed to telling the authentic and unique story behind each natural diamond. Through Tracr, we hope consumers can trust their choices with greater confidence and understand how their purchases support the communities and sustainablility.”

Lynn Serfaty, General Manager of Natural Diamond Category Marketing, De Beers Group, along with Loletta Lai, VP, Natural Diamonds APAC, De Beers Group, and others, delved into the theme of ” Unlocking Growth in the Greater China Market: Opportunities and Challenges for the Natural Diamond Industry”. They provided in-depth analysis of consumer trends and behavioural shifts in the Chinese market, while sharing strategic insights on how to align with the demands of the new generation of consumers and foster long-term desire for natural diamonds. Serfaty stated, “The new generation of consumers is redefining their emotional connection with natural diamonds. They see these diamonds not only as symbols of weddings but also as unique carriers of self-expression and gifting. These consumers value authenticity, sustainability and pursue personalized experiences and emotional resonance. Through our strategies of ‘Origins’ and ‘Building Forever’, we consistently reinforce the core characteristic of natural diamonds—rarity, value, and heritage—continuously evoking consumers’ emotional identification and desire.”

Another Leadership Forum was hosted, themed “The Billion-Year Promise: Consumer Trust in Natural Diamond”. This event delved into the goals and initiatives of the “Origin” Strategy, De Beers Group and “Building Forever”, aiming to transform each natural diamond into an eternal promise, establishing and reinforcing consumers’ enduring and solid trust.

Partnering for Value Creation: Planning the Future of Natural Diamonds
For years, De Beers Group has consistently collaborated with partners across the industry to jointly promote the development of the natural diamond sector. During the exhibition, the Group invited media and influencers to visit the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) booth and engage in natural diamonds workshops, guiding guests to explore the enduring charm and value of natural diamonds. Pritesh Patel, President and CEO of GIA, stated: “We are deeply honored to collaborate with De Beers Group. Through this workshop, we illustrated the eternal charm and profound value inherent in natural diamonds. Each natural diamond is a miracle created by the Earth over hundreds of millions of years, blending natural beauty, exquisite craftsmanship, and a commitment to sustainable development. We look forward to working with all partners to convey values of authenticity, transparency, and responsibility, helping consumers gain a deeper understanding of the precious qualities of natural diamonds, and jointly promoting the sustainable development of the industry.”

Since June of this year, GIA has ceased providing traditional 4Cs grading for laboratory-grown diamonds and adopted a descriptive rating system. Submitted samples receive only broad evaluations as “Premium” or “Standard,” with those of excessively low quality receiving no grade. In August, GIA announced that it would implement an assessment service for laboratory-grown diamonds starting in October. These measures clarify the essential differences between natural diamonds and laboratory-grown diamonds in terms of attributes and value, providing a solid foundation for the standardized and healthy development of the natural diamond industry.

In addition to the exhibition, De Beers Group also organized a visit for media and influencers at De Beers London flagship store, allowing them to experience the artistic transformation of natural diamonds from rough stones to exquisite jewellery. This visit immersed guests in the innovative interpretation of natural diamonds in contemporary fashion. It was not merely a product showcase but a vivid demonstration of De Beers Group’s “Building Forever” comitmment at the retail level. From traceable natural diamond sources to sustainable craftsmanship, design, and polishing, every step reflects the Group’s firm commitment to sustainable development. Through offline experiences, jewellery try-ons, and in-depth sharing, the guests further deepened their emotional connection and value recognition of natural diamonds.

With the brand philosophy “A Diamond is Forever,” De Beers Group not only highlighted the enduring demand and broad prospects of natural diamonds in the global market at Jewellery & Gem WORLD, but also vividly demonstrated differentiated value through its Desert Diamonds, reflecting a deep integration with its “Origins”. Through immersive experiences and in-depth interactions, the Group presented an unforgettable natural diamond journey for industry partners and the public, further advancing the education about natural diamons. Looking ahead, De Beers Group will continue to collaborate with all parties to lead the natural diamond industry toward a more transparent and sustainable future, allowing natural diamonds to shine even brighter amidst the interplay of technology, art, and culture, and to continue writing the moving legend of this era.

A Star-Studded Weekend at Universal Studios Singapore

For the first time ever, Universal Studios Singapore transformed into a one-of-a-kind open-air concert arena. Thousands of fans stood amid the New York Street and Sci-Fi City zones to watch world-class performances up close – a dynamic festival vibe unlike any stadium show which has been hosted in Singapore before.

South Korean megastar Rain brought his trademark charisma to the stage, while Hong Kong, China, icons Ekin Cheng, Hins Cheung, Stephy Tang, JC, and Nowhere Boys lit up the park with back-to-back hits. For Stephy Tang, JC and Nowhere Boys, this marked their first-ever performances in Singapore, thrilling both local and regional fans.

“JAM OFF 2025 was about more than just music. It was about bringing communities together through shared energy, creativity, and culture. To see fans from across the region celebrate with us in Singapore has been incredible,” said Evette Chan, Event Director of Destinations Network Tourism and Leisure Marketing Ltd.

Another hallmark of JAM OFF is the unique proximity between artistes and audiences, giving festival-goers a rare chance to be up close with their favourite stars in an immersive environment.

Talent on Stage: VOICE and BEATS finals

Daytime highlights at Palawan Green shone a spotlight on JAM OFF’s signature talent programmes. On 27 September, JAM OFF VOICE returned with finalists showcasing their vocal prowess before an all-star judging panel comprising Singaporean beatboxer Dharni Ng, Hong Kong, China, soprano Hedy Chan, and Malaysian-born entertainer Allan Moo. This year’s awards were presented for two categories — Judges’ Winner and Live Vote Winner. Dawn Yap, who performed “In The Kitchen” by Reneé Rapp, took home the Judges’ Winner title, while Isaac Mak, who performed “It Will Rain” by Bruno Mars, was voted Live Votes Winner by the crowd. Stephy Tang, one of JAM OFF’s headliners, made a special appearance to present the winners with cash prizes, festival perks, and invitations to perform on future JAM OFF stages.

On 28 September, JAM OFF BEATS delivered a high-octane showcase of Breaking 2vs2 and All Style 2vs2 battles, with top regional crews bringing technical skill and creativity to the stage. In the Breaking category, ML emerged as Champion, with Illstack taking the Runner-up spot. In the All Style category, BRC claimed the Champion title, while OMADA impressed as Runner-up. All winning teams walked away with cash prizes, trophies, and flights to the next JAM OFF BEATS showcase in Hong Kong, China.

Festival Village: food, retail and race-themed fun

Palawan Green was transformed into a lively festival village, offering curated food and beverage pop-ups, retail stalls and interactive games. Highlights included redemptions and activations from Frozt and The Ice Cream & Cookie Co., official JAM OFF merchandise, and pop-ups from Sentosa Shop, Retro Crates, Takachya and Wow Fashion Jewellery. Festivalgoers also enjoyed race-themed games with prize redemptions including JAM OFF water bottles, cups, socks and limited-edition stickers.

As the lights dimmed on an unforgettable weekend, JAM OFF 2025 affirmed its place as one of Asia’s most distinctive music and lifestyle festivals, seamlessly uniting global icons, rising stars, and audiences from across the region. By blending headline performances, open competitions, and festival experiences that captured the spirit of Grand Prix™ Season Singapore, JAM OFF has not only energised the city in the lead-up to race week but also set a new benchmark for cultural celebration in the region. With its dynamic mix of talent, creativity, and community, JAM OFF continues to shape itself as a must-attend annual destination where music meets movement, and where Asia’s next generation of stars rise on the international stage.

DA NANG, Vietnam, Oct. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Da Nang is set to host the Da Nang Global Business Summit 2025 under the theme “Unlocking the Future of Medical & Wellness Tourism: Innovation – Creativity – Global Connectivity”. The two-day event will take place on November 11–12, 2025, at Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang, affirming the city’s ambition to become a leading hub for medical tourism in the region.

Positioning Da Nang as Southeast Asia’s Leading Medical Tourism Hub at the Da Nang Global Business Summit 2025

The summit is expected to welcome over 200 senior leaders and policymakers from international hospitals, technology corporations, tourism enterprises, and government agencies. It will serve as a strategic platform to explore cooperation opportunities, exchange innovations, and shape future investment directions to foster the sustainable growth of medical tourism in Da Nang.

The Honorary Advisory Board brings together respected experts, including:

  • Ms. Ngo Thi Kim Yen, Chairwoman, Da Nang Medical Association
  • Mr. Rich McClellan, Vice Chairman, Advisory Council, Vietnam International Financial Center in Da Nang
  • Mr. Cao Tri Dung, Chairman, Da Nang Tourism Association
  • Mr. Chris Vanloon, Chairman & CEO, Riverside Tower Trade Center
  • Mr. Nguyen Thanh Long, Brand Marketing Consultant, Lion Huynh Tran Co., Ltd.

Ms. Thuy Huynh, CEO of Lion Huynh Tran Co., Ltd. – the event organizer, shared:
 “The Da Nang Global Business Summit 2025 reflects our commitment to positioning Da Nang as a trusted destination for medical tourism. More than just a platform for networking among experts and investors, it lays the foundation to realize a long-term vision that generates both economic and social benefits for the community.”

The summit identifies three key strategic directions for Da Nang’s development:

  1. Affirming strategic vision – Elevating Da Nang’s reputation as a high-quality healthcare destination, attracting international patients and visitors.
  2. Fostering international cooperation – Creating a bridge between hospitals, technology groups, investors, and tourism enterprises to build an integrated medical ecosystem.
  3. Encouraging sustainable investment – Mobilizing resources for healthcare infrastructure, digital technology, and advanced wellness services.

Commitment to Social Responsibility

Alongside the summit, the event will launch the Charity Fund for Disadvantaged Children, supporting pediatric cancer patients and orphans. Partnering with the “Loving Heartbeat Club” (under the Da Nang Youth Union), part of the summit’s proceeds will go towards the “Spring of Love 2026” program, providing meals, care, and encouragement to children at Da Nang Oncology Hospital and Da Nang Women & Children’s Hospital.

Ms. Ngo Thi Kim Yen, Chairwoman of the Da Nang Medical Association, noted:
 “Da Nang holds exceptional potential for medical tourism with its strong tourism foundation, quality healthcare network, and competitive pricing. However, the lack of connectivity mechanisms and supportive macro policies, such as visa facilitation, has been a barrier to stronger growth. This summit will play a vital role in bringing stakeholders together to discuss and propose practical solutions to address these challenges.”

The summit is supported by strategic partners, including IPA Da Nang, Da Nang Tourism Association, Da Nang Department of Culture, Sports & Tourism, Da Nang Department of Health, and Digital Health Partnership. Media partners include Danang Fantasticity, PR Newswire, and La La Land.

The program will focus on critical trends such as AI applications in healthcare, the development of smart medical ecosystems, and knowledge-sharing from Asia’s leading markets. The overarching goal is to advance Da Nang as a global medical tourism hub in the near future.

Key sponsors and partners include: Vinmec International Hospital Da Nang, Sun Hospitality & Entertainment, AmCham, Novotel Danang Premier Han River, Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang, AdTechinno, alongside various domestic and international investment and tourism promotion agencies.

With careful preparation and strong collaboration from strategic partners, the Da Nang Global Business Summit 2025 is expected to mark a significant milestone, reinforcing Da Nang’s position as a premier medical tourism center in Southeast Asia.
