TOKYO, JAPAN – Media OutReach – 25 October 2022 – Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) and All Nippon Airways (ANA), Japan’s largest airline launched its “Beyond #MissingJapan” after news of Japan’s plans to reopen the country to international travellers.

The “Beyond #MissingJapan” campaign was inspired by social posts of people missing Japan as a result of the pandemic and a strong sense of eagerness amongst ANA’s crew to welcome visitors back to Japan. The end goal of the campaign is to excite travellers ahead of their next trip to Japan and give them an insider’s head start with planning.

Mr. Isao Ono, Vice President of Marketing & Sales, Asia & Oceania from ANA said “I trust this ‘Beyond #MissingJapan’ campaign will give those who have been missing Japan due to the pandemic an opportunity to rediscover Japan through videos introduced by Asia’s most well-loved personalities as well as 360° videos. At ANA, we continue to provide a safe and clean environment with comfortable services. We look forward to welcoming more travellers to Japan soon.”

The ‘Beyond #MissingJapan’ campaign shares some must-visit hidden-gems for both first-time visitors or seasoned visitors, through the lenses of seven social media celebrities including famous YouTuber Paolo and award-winning Singaporean actress Michelle Chong.

• Greater Tokyo: Besides popular destinations like Asakusa, visitors can check out the Kadokawa Culture Museum in Tokorozawa Sakura Town which features a cultural arts complex with an art gallery museum and library. Sanagi Shinjuku is a highlight designed by Japanese creators, it features unique Japanese cuisine amidst a electric, festive atmosphere.

• Kanazawa: A city widely known for its charming blend of the old and new, its fresh seafood and gold leaves. Its steep Japanese history as a Samurai town and home of many traditions can be experienced by riding a traditional rickshaw, trying on a Kimono or spending an evening taking in the audible sounds of Shamisen and drums.

• Fuji Five Lakes: Visitors can take in the majestic sight of Mount Fuji from the while pampering themselves at the world-famous Yurari Onsen or Ohsino Hakkai, or choose to spend a day at one of the countries’ largest themed parks at Fuji-Q Highland before retreating to Hoshinoya Fuji, Japan’s first glamping spot.

Team, Tech, Passion, and Performance Combine to Herald a New Era in F1

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Media OutReach – 25 October 2022 – Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit, the world’s third most visited crypto exchange, has hailed Oracle Red Bull Racing’s Constructors’ Championship win in Austin as a testament to the team, technology, passion, and performance – all combining to disrupt the status quo.

Following a blistering performance on the track, and in the paddock, Oracle Red Bull Racing sealed top spot as Max Verstappen stormed to victory in a blustery, incident-filled race.

“All of us at Bybit celebrate this historic moment with our friends at Oracle Red Bull Racing,” said Zhou. “This outstanding achievement highlights that while Max steered the team to victory on the track, behind the scenes and under the hood there was a finely tuned operation that consistently overcame the unexpected to deliver day after day after day.”

Bybit also acknowledged the journey and sacrifice it took Oracle Red Bull Racing to reach this defining moment.

“We fully understand the commitment and continued innovation required for success,” added Zhou. “We share many of the same challenges: we rely on the passion and conviction of our team, we constantly innovate to stay ahead, and we are driven by a higher sense of purpose.”

Bybit announced its partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing in February this year, as Principal Team Partner, uniting two brands along shared values of creativity, innovation, and passion.

At the time, the partnership was lauded as a natural fit between two giants, each of them disrupting norms, perceptions, and traditional rivals in their own individual environments. But the synergies, innovation, and drive to succeed have continued to flourish.

Oracle Red Bull Racing recently announced plans to produce its own power unit, in an effort to take full control of all aspects of the car management.

Meanwhile, Bybit has announced plans to launch its own crypto wallet, seen as a critical infrastructure component and passport – essential to experiencing the next iteration of the internet, Web 3. The move ensures the crypto leader has full control over a core aspect of its business for the future.

It seems despite unrivaled success in 2022, both companies are keen to continue their unstoppable momentum and to drive innovation.

Strong presence under the Swiss Pavilion reflects the robust growth of new technologies by Swiss fintech over the past 2-3 years

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 25 October 2022 – Twenty cutting-edge Swiss fintech enterprises will take part at the Swiss Pavilion – hosted by Switzerland Global Enterprise (S-GE) and the Swiss Business Hub ASEAN – at Singapore Fintech Festival 2022 (2 – 4 Nov 2022). The Swiss delegation will include new and returning players, all with the goal to capture new markets in Asia with fresh, innovative solutions developed over the past 2-3 years.

Switzerland has become a vibrant hub for emerging technologies, such as fintech, blockchain, and distributed ledger technology (DLT). With the new DLT Framework coming into effect in 2021, Switzerland is one of the first countries in the world to deliver advanced regulatory solutions and specific amendments for fintech, blockchain, and DLT.

The Swiss fintech delegation returns to the annual fintech festival for the 6^th time, notwithstanding that the last two editions in Singapore were virtual. Further, Swiss fintechs who had participated in previous editions have since moved forward to establish a foothold in Singapore as a platform for their Asian expansion.

H.E. Mr Frank Grütter, Ambassador of Switzerland to Singapore, said: “Swiss financial institutions are reputed for their trustworthiness, reliability and innovation. At the Swiss Pavilion @ SFF 2022, there is a great opportunity for our fintechs to feel and understand the market as well as welcome face-to-face interactions with potential clients or partners.”

Renee Koh, Head of Swiss Business Hub ASEAN said: “The pace of development in technologies and financial services is progressing at ultra-speed, creating growing demand for innovative solutions, while meeting evolving environmental, social, and governance standards. Swiss fintechs have been at the forefront of these areas and their presence at the Swiss Pavilion will open opportunities for collaboration.”

Singapore Fintech Festival is now in its 7^th year and the 2022 edition is themed “Building Resilient Business Models amid Volatility and Change“. The event is organised by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Elevandi, and event organiser Constellar and in collaboration with the Association of Banks in Singapore.

Swiss interactive advisor Adviscent Solutions will be a first time participant at the Singapore festival under the Swiss Pavilion. Seen a new player in the fintech sector with a track record built up over the last 18 months, it views the Singapore festival as ‘starting point” for its Asian growth, first in Singapore and then further into the region.

Thomas Bosshard said that, with a track record established in Europe, “Adviscent believes there is a good product market fit in Asia and especially in Singapore. We enable private banks or private banking units within universal banks that want to empower their relationship managers with the right content at the right time to grow AuM and increase RoA with personalised advise at scale.”

Switzerland Global Enterprise (S-GE) is the official Swiss organization for export and investment promotion with around 200 employees at offices throughout Switzerland and in 31 countries. S-GE supports Swiss SMEs in their international business and helps innovative foreign companies to settle in Switzerland. In doing so, S-GE relies on a unique network of national and global partners. This is how S-GE creates added value for its clients and prosperity for Switzerland.

S-GE provides a public service for its clients on behalf of the Swiss Confederation (State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO) and the cantons. S-GE operates its 27 offices, known as Swiss Business Hubs and Trade Points, in 31 countries jointly with the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs FDFA. Thanks to its global network of partners, S-GE supports its clients in many other countries.

• City Developments, GuocoLand and the joint venture between UOL Group and Kheng Leong Co. emerged as major winners with 5 awards each
• Martin Modern clinched all 4 Excellence awards in the Completed Residential category
• Introduced the new Real Estate Salesperson Excellence Award (Top Transactors)
• Sustainability was the key theme this year.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 25 October 2022 – EdgeProp Singapore has announced the winners of its annual EdgeProp Excellence Awards (EPEA) at a gala dinner on October 21.

The prestigious event recognises and celebrates outstanding property developers and their developments that set a benchmark of excellence in Singapore’s real estate industry.

“This marked the sixth year of our Edgeprop Excellence Awards. As businesses embrace sustainability due to its growing significance — components such as Landscape Replacement Area, Green Plot Ratio and Green Mark Ratings have been included as part of the judging criteria in our merit-based awards. These are not merely ‘green’ stamps — but they are an accurate reflection of what buyers want these days in terms of living in an aesthetically pleasant, yet low carbon footprint environment.” says Bernard Tong, CEO of EdgeProp Singapore.

The gala night was the first large-scale event EdgeProp has organised since the pandemic started and saw 200 guests in attendance, including key VIPs in the real estate industry. The event was sponsored by Geberit Southeast Asia, Mitsubishi Electric Asia Pacific and V-Zug Singapore with Official Knowledge Partner KPMG Singapore and Supporting Partner E3 Design.

This year, EdgeProp also introduced a new Real Estate Salesperson Excellence Award that recognises exceptional real estate agents who are the top transactors in their respective categories.

“The role that a real estate agent plays in the home-buying journey is undeniably important, perhaps increasingly more so. As Singapore consumers become savvier in this Information Age, agents who are able to leverage new technology to create a niche for themselves will be more productive and will thrive,” Tong adds.

The esteemed judges of EPEA 2022 were Angela Lim, Co-founder of SuMisura; Chris Marriott, CEO of Savills, Southeast Asia; Koh Choon Fah, Board Member of Edmund Tie Holdings; Tang Kok Thye, Associate Partner of ADDP Architects LLP; Yvonne Tan, Director of DP Green; and Bernard Tong, CEO of EdgeProp Singapore. After judging the nominees based on six categories: Landscape, Design, Innovation, Sustainability, Showflat and Marketing, the aggregated scores were carefully reviewed by KPMG Singapore.

“We congratulate all the winners of this year’s EdgeProp Excellence Awards and hope they will continue to scale new heights in establishing benchmarks for future developments. We look forward to next year as we chart new territories, categories and award-worthy projects!” says Tong.
