Singapore’s first hybrid outdoor blind puts control back in homeowners’ hands


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 September 2025 – More Singaporean households plan to create outdoor living spaces from balconies, patios or service yards, often enhanced with balcony blinds that offer shade and weather protection. The right blind system can turn it into an extra room for dining, work or a quiet evening by cutting glare and heat whilst keeping rain and dust out.

Singapore’s first hybrid outdoor blind puts control back in homeowners’ hands

Traditionally, choosing between motorised and manual was high stakes; the wrong decision meant living with a system that did not suit your routine.

ZipBlind®, leading Singapore brand in ziptrack blinds, has launched ZipBlind® X, billed as the country’s first 2-in-1 hybrid outdoor blind. It removes the “motorised-versus-manual” dilemma by merging push-button controls together with an easy, spring-assisted hand pull. An all-in-one system.

“ZipBlind® X is an innovation built for daily life,” said Guo Xiong. “A compact, quiet motor for convenience, and a fast natural-feel when you manually pull the blinds down. An evolution of outdoor living comfort.”

Design inspired by real customers

Customers have long shaped ZipBlind®’s design choices. The first flagship model they developed, integrated LED lighting for night use and a manual override for urgent moments, raising the bar in ziptrack blinds. ZipBlind® X carries that forward by tackling two common frustrations: Singapore’s weather can change in minutes, and misplacing a remote can lead to exposed balconies.

What’s new for homeowners

A combined system means everyday control becomes simpler. Family members can make quick, precise adjustments with a gentle pull, without reaching for a remote, app or wall switch.

In sudden weather changes, speed matters. ZipBlind®’s tests reveal that manual closing can be up to 20 seconds faster than waiting for a motor to start and complete its travel, which may help protect plants and furnishings during a storm. Manual operation also keeps control available when a remote is misplaced, batteries run flat or a home is not smart-enabled, and it remains usable during a power cut. The result is fewer interruptions and more consistent use of the space.

Families with children or pets gain safety. There are no dangling cords, and the guided tracks keep fabric stable in wind. Manual adjustments feel light, so older folks can operate the blind, maintaining shade and privacy without using apps daily.

Engineering that supports the promise

In addition to its new product features, ZipBlind®X retains its long product lifespan using aerospace-grade aluminium paired with industry-leading anti-microbial fabrics made in the USA. Its award-winning inventions extend fabric life by cushioning wind pressure and supporting fabric maintenance through self-cleaning innovations.

ZipBlind® products are independently tested by SETSCO, and the brand’s design has been recognised with the Singapore Good Design Award, underscoring its design-and-engineering focus in ziptrak blinds.

Anchored to its proven durability and everyday operability, ZipBlind® is further supported by local development and strong after-sales service.

Live demonstrations of ZipBlind® X are available exclusively at the ShadeSpace Experience Showroom, a showcase for anyone comparing options among the top ziptrack companies in Singapore. Customisation can only be made through ZipBlind® or ShadeSpace.

She continued, “As Samsung actively practices circular economy through initiatives like extending product lifecycle and recycling e-waste, we aim to use the topic of ‘Environmental Sustainability via Technology’ to guide students in considering how technology can positively impact our planet. At the same time, as a Worldwide Partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Samsung firmly believes that the integration of sports and technology can promote physical and mental well-being, inclusivity, and community welfare. The topic of ‘Social Change through Sport & Tech’ encourages the education sector to advance with the same innovative goals. Solve for Tomorrow is more than just a competition; it’s a platform where we expect students to nurture important skills such as problem-solving, creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. This will enable them to become the leaders of tomorrow, equipping them with technical knowledge, passion, and empathy. ”

Two Key Topics Encourage Students to Unleash Creativity
This year, Solve for Tomorrow focus on two important areas, allowing students to freely choose the field they wish to explore, and to bring innovative solutions to social problems using AI and other new technologies:

  1. Environmental Sustainability via Technology — Create sustainable solutions to protect our planet via AI: As environmental challenges intensify across the globe, Hong Kong faces a similar set of issues. This year’s competition encourages students to explore how AI and other technologies can be harnessed to reduce waste and pollution, extend the lifespan of products and materials, and even advance sustainable practices such as renewable energy and natural systems, building a greener future and truly fostering the development of a circular economy.
  2. Social Change through Sport & Tech: For Better Futures — Harness the power of AI technology and sports to open new opportunities: Sports have long been a powerful tool for fostering physical health, mental well-being, and community spirit. This year’s competition calls students to explore how technology and sports can serve as mediums for social change to promote physical and mental wellness, inclusion, community well-being, among other aspects, for our better future.

Multiple Elements Foster Learning During the Competition
In addition to setting two special topics, Solve for Tomorrow 2025-2026 also incorporates numerous elements that integrate learning into the competition:

  • This year’s competition welcomes teams from primary schools, secondary schools, and tertiary institutions. It features generous prizes and awards, including an internship opportunity at Samsung for the tertiary group champion. In response to the Education Bureau’s “Business-School Partnership Programme”, the secondary group champion and first runners-up will receive work experience at Samsung.

A New Paradigm in Global Education: Peking University’s “Future Leaders” Program Welcomes Sixth Cohort

BEIJING, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Peking University’s Guanghua School of Management welcomed the sixth cohort of its “Future Leaders” International Undergraduate Program this September. Pioneered by Guanghua in 2019, the dual-degree program cultivates leaders with deep China insight and a global vision. It has since established a network of 15 leading international business schools, attracting 235 high-achieving students from 35 countries and regions.

Peking University Guanghua School of Management’s “Future Leaders” Program students on campus during their two-year China study.

The program’s distinctive model brings together top students carefully selected by each partner university, who, after two years at their home institution, join PKU Guanghua in China for an immersive two-year experience. Students pursue a rigorous curriculum and collaborate with leading enterprises, with studies spanning not only Beijing but also Guanghua’s satellite campuses across China. This structure provides direct exposure to the nation’s diverse economic dynamics and innovative spirit, equipping them with a practical understanding of Chinese markets within a globally diverse cohort.

The program’s innovative approach was further highlighted at the recent Future Leaders Deans Forum in Beijing, where deans from 16 institutions convened. The forum culminated in the signing of the Consensus on the Future of Business Education, emphasizing digital transformation, sustainability, interdisciplinary learning, and ethical, globally minded leadership.

“Business education is at a crossroads,” said Professor Liu Qiao, Dean of Guanghua School of Management. “We must prepare our students not just with technical skills, but with imagination, values, and the courage to tackle complex societal problems.”

Admission is highly selective, drawing students from the top 20% of their universities through a rigorous two-stage evaluation, ensuring a cohort that is academically accomplished and globally diverse.

Graduates pursue impactful careers across finance, consulting, technology, and social innovation — including Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Tencent, and the United Nations — or launch ventures or pursue advanced degrees at institutions such as Stanford, Harvard, and Oxford.

Niklas Muennighoff, from the inaugural cohort and now pursuing a PhD in AI at Stanford University, said: “The Future Leaders Program gave me a real understanding of China’s business culture and how to work effectively across borders. The capstone project experience was transformative in shaping my professional outlook.”

As the network grows through dialogue with institutions in the UK, Australia, Mexico, Indonesia, and beyond, the “Future Leaders” Program is evolving into a broader experiment in how universities can collaborate to prepare students for an era of shared global challenges.

KuCoin’s Alicia Kao at CoinFerenceX: Exchanges Must Be Both Trusted Gatekeepers and Open Gateways

SINGAPORE, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At the CoinFerenceX Summit during Token2049 week in Singapore, KuCoin Managing Director Alicia Kao joined the panel “Exchanges Beyond Trading: Gatekeepers or Gate-Openers of the Digital Asset Economy.” Speaking alongside executives from leading exchanges, Alicia  emphasized that exchanges today must serve a dual role: as trusted gatekeepers safeguarding users and as open gateways enabling broader participation in the digital asset economy.

Alicia reiterated KuCoin’s longstanding commitment to building with trust and compliance at the core and shared investment strategy and local market commitment.

KuCoin is reinforcing its commitment to trust and innovation by applying AI to strengthen compliance and anti–money laundering monitoring while offering users intelligent trading tools. At the same time, the exchange is returning to blockchain fundamentals with the relaunch of its KuMining product, where a recent 1,500,000TH/s BTC Hashrate sold out quickly, reflecting strong market demand. Looking ahead, KuCoin is also driving real-world utility through payment solutions across multiple countries, bringing digital assets into everyday life as global regulatory clarity continues to improve.

Alicia also shared KuCoin’s approach to investment and local market development, emphasizing that the company is committed to unlocking industry-wide value through KuCoin Ventures by investing, like the recent investment in Stable, the world’s first high-throughput Layer1 blockchain powered by USDT. Beyond trading, KuCoin supports startups addressing fundamental challenges in finance, payments, and local adoption, rather than short-term token launches. At the same time, the exchange is actively investing in local markets by pursuing licenses and working closely with regulators, with Kao noting that “getting a license is just the first step—the real challenge is protecting users, just like the regulators do.” While KuCoin does not operate a massive fund, it remains open to supporting responsible teams and entrepreneurs who bring blockchain into real life with long-term vision.

By speaking at CoinFerenceX, Alicia Kao reaffirmed KuCoin’s mission as “the exchange of trust for global users.” She highlighted innovation, compliance, and responsible investment as the key drivers that will shape the next phase of the digital asset economy.

Harmony in Practice: How Tri Vananda is Shaping the Future of Living Well


BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 September 2025 – Tri Vananda, a regenerative wellness community in Phuket designed for multigenerational living, is sharing post-event takeaways on how harmony, regeneration, and longevity can be applied to daily life. During Dragonfly Summit 2025, media and guests took part in intimate talk sessions and interactive on-floor experiences, including the Harmony Bee Maze and lessons on longevity which included clear guidance to simple actions attendees could take immediately.

Tri Vananda recently hosted a mini-talk session under the theme of The Future of Living Well: Regeneration and Longevity with Tri Vananda. The session took place in Bangkok at the Dragonfly Summit 2025 at Paragon Hall, Siam Paragon. From left to right: Carole Martin Rogès, Chief Marketing Officer, Clinique La Prairie; Kittisak Pattamasaevi, Chief Executive Officer, Montara Hospitality Group; Panjama Laemsuwan, Chief Experience Officer, Montara Hospitality Group.

From left to right: Carole Martin Rogès, Chief Marketing Officer, Clinique La Prairie; Kittisak Pattamasaevi, Chief Executive Officer, Montara Hospitality Group; Panjama Laemsuwan, Chief Experience Officer, Montara Hospitality Group.

“We see real progress when principles become everyday practice,” shared Kittisak Pattamasaevi, Chief Executive Officer, Montara Hospitality Group. “At Tri Vananda, harmony is lived through the spaces we create, the nourishment we share with our land, and the communities we nurture. When trust flows, our impact amplifies – turning ideas about longevity and regeneration into simple, daily practice. As we work closely with Clinique La Prairie to open their Health Resort at Tri Vananda in 2026, we’re aligning their century of expertise in longevity and preventive medicine with our harmony-led way of living. Our goal is simple: make living well practical – grounded in trust, community, and nature.”

Tri Vananda is a regenerative wellness community in Phuket, designed for multigenerational living across 230 acres, with 85% of the land preserved as forest and lakes. Low-density, biophilic design invites light and airflow; local farms and dining connect food systems with well-being. With a vision to become carbon-negative within 30 years, the philosophy is simple: when trust flows, impact amplifies – from self, to community, and back to nature.

“Longevity is not only about adding years to life, but about transforming the quality of those years so that energy, balance, and harmony can thrive at every stage. At Clinique La Prairie, advanced diagnostics and regenerative medicine are translated into personalized plans supported by empathy, trust, and connection with our guests. Together with Tri Vananda, we’re excited to be opening our first Health Resort in Southeast Asia, bringing measurable, long-term wellness to a place designed for it,” added Carole Martin Rogès, Chief Marketing Officer, Clinique La Prairie.

Clinique La Prairie’s Longevity Method™ is a five-step, continuous cycle that turns science into daily preventive health practice. It begins with in-depth assessments and diagnostics, then moves to a predictive view to anticipate risks and to ultra-customized solutions. Next come targeted interventions across four pillars – medicine, nutrition, movement, and well-being – followed by continuous measurement to sustain progress.

At its core is the Longevity Master Assessment, a uniform set of screenings covering more than 300 health markers to give a 360° view of health and aging and to tailor each plan. The aim is clear: extend health span and improve the quality of life so energy, balance, and harmony can thrive at every stage.

Tri Vananda offers a holistic lifestyle within a biophilic setting, with two villa styles designed for multigenerational living. The Vana Villa draws inspiration from Thailand’s forests, while the Nanda Villa applies bioclimatic principles to minimize energy use with low-carbon materials. Ranging from two to four bedrooms (325–780 sqm), each villa features spacious living areas, private pools, outdoor courtyards with carbon credit-certified trees, and fully equipped kitchens—ideal for year-round or seasonal stays.

As part of the Dragonfly Summit, guests moved through eight hexagonal rooms in the “Harmony Bee Maze” – using art, play, and short prompts to map strengths, leadership style, and a personal “Trust Frequency.” The path ended at Jampa Bar with a personalized botanical beverage matched to their profile. The sequence helped guests feel how trust, community, and nature can meet in daily life.

The conversation now moves beyond the event. Tri Vananda will publish a post-event white paper capturing lessons on trust, regeneration, and longevity drawn from what leaders and guests shared across the sessions and the maze. Discover your personal Trust Frequency and leadership style via the short quiz here (https://form.typeform.com/to/M6vjFGgO). For more information, please visit https://trivananda.com.

Stop Paying Six Vendors to Book One Meeting: Clodura.AI Unifies GTM in a Single GenAI Platform

Clodura.AI consolidates data, AI outreach, and calling into a single platform—cutting costs and accelerating real buyer conversations worldwide.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Across North America, Europe, and Asia, revenue leaders face the same frustration: Why does booking one meeting require stitching together half a dozen tools?

Clodura AI | One GenAI Go to Market Platform – From Database to Deal Closure

Stacks built around single-database vendors like ZoomInfo or Apollo.io, then padded with Outreach for sequencing, Gong for call analysis, and Clay for enrichment, leave GTM teams juggling contracts, inflating budgets, and chasing unverified leads. The result is wasted time, lower connect rates, and rising costs.

Clodura.AI, the world’s first GenAI-powered Go-to-Market platform, answers the call.

Built to unify the entire GTM workflow, Clodura.AI integrates every phase—from database enrichment and real-time verification through buyer intelligence, intent signals, AI-driven outreach, and integrated calling—into one AI-first system. By replacing fragmented stacks with a unified platform, Clodura.AI eliminates complexity and accelerates pipeline velocity.

Unlike legacy providers, Clodura.AI connects 50+ data and 20+ phone providers in real-time, dynamically verifying contacts for unmatched accuracy. AI agents automate repetitive tasks—drafting emails, sequencing campaigns, logging call dispositions—so reps focus on meaningful buyer conversations.

Adopted by Enterprises, Embraced by Growth Teams
Global enterprises like Hexaware, Quess, Bosch, and Avalara—alongside fast-scaling SaaS firms—have consolidated their GTM stacks with Clodura.AI, reporting stronger contact accuracy, higher call connect rates, faster campaign execution, and significant cost reductions.

Leadership Perspectives
“Fragmented GTM stacks slow growth, inflate costs, and burn out teams,” said Kapil Khangaonkar, Founder & CEO of Clodura.AI. “We solve this by uniting data, verification, intelligence, engagement, and closure in one GenAI platform built for global scale.”

Abhay Nawathey, CTO of Clodura.AI, added: “Data decays fast, verification can’t be static, and humans shouldn’t waste hours on robotic busywork. Our AI platform integrates multiple providers and automates follow-up, creating reliable, conversation-ready data inside one system.”

Somshubhro Pal Choudhury, Co-Founder & Partner, Bharat Innovation Fund, said: “Consolidation isn’t just about cost. It’s about focus. With automation and unification, revenue teams reclaim time for buyer conversations—the only thing that truly moves pipeline.”

Why It Matters
