AECOM opens new Hong Kong office and Asia headquarters, bringing together people, technology and sustainability


HONG KONG SAR- Media OutReach Newswire – 31 July 2026 – AECOM, the trusted global infrastructure leader, officially launched its new Hong Kong office and Asia headquarters at 83 King Lam Street in Cheung Sha Wan, unveiling a workplace that reflects how the company is evolving to meet the needs of its employees, clients and communities. The ceremony was attended by Jill Hudkins, global chief executive, AECOM Advisory, alongside clients, partners and employees.

AECOM opens new Hong Kong office and Asia headquarters

Designed as a living demonstration of the way AECOM works, the office brings together people, technology and sustainable design in a future-ready environment that reflects both the company’s values and its deep connection to Hong Kong.

The new workplace underlines the company’s commitment to Hong Kong. At a time of transformational development in Hong Kong, including landmark initiatives such as the Northern Metropolis and SKYTOPIA, it strengthens AECOM’s ability to support clients locally while leveraging its breadth of expertise across Asia.

Ian Chung, chief executive of AECOM’s Asia region, said: “Our new Hong Kong office and Asia headquarters represents AECOM’s largest office investment in Asia and reflects our confidence in Hong Kong’s future. For more than 50 years, we have partnered with clients and communities to help shape the city’s development. This new workplace will strengthen collaboration and innovation across our teams, enabling us to support the opportunities ahead and continue growing future Hong Kong together with our clients and partners.”

Johnny Cheuk, executive leader, Hong Kong, AECOM, said: “As Hong Kong enters a new era of development, creating the right environment for our people and clients to collaborate has never been more important. Our new office is designed to foster innovation, collaboration and multidisciplinary teamwork, strengthening our ability to deliver better outcomes for clients and communities. This future-ready workplace will help us bring together the talent and expertise needed to shape Hong Kong’s next chapter of growth.”

Occupying approximately 126,000 gross square feet across four floors, the workplace is designed around AECOM’s Freedom to Grow framework, supporting flexible, performance-led ways of working through a variety of spaces for focused work, project delivery, hybrid meetings and collaboration. Client engagement areas, innovation spaces and technology-enabled environments further support co-creation and knowledge sharing. It demonstrates the same people-centered and future-ready principles that AECOM helps clients deliver every day.

A digital dashboard powered by IoT sensors provides real-time insights into energy consumption and indoor air quality, making workplace sustainability performance visible and measurable. The relocation also embraced circular economy principles. More than 900 furniture items from AECOM’s previous Sha Tin office were donated to local schools and non-governmental organizations, extending their useful life while reducing landfill waste.

Employee wellbeing was integral to the design. Activity-based workspace design promotes the exchange of ideas, collaboration, socialization and focused work, while natural materials, green walls and planted dividers bring biophilic elements into the workplace. Bamboo finishes and sustainable carpets help reduce the environmental impact of the fit-out.

The workplace also reflects AECOM’s multidisciplinary strength in infrastructure delivery. The office is located at 83 King Lam Street, a twin-tower commercial development for which AECOM provided structural, geotechnical and façade engineering services. The project was recognized at the HKIE Structural Division Structural Excellence Award 2025.

The successful conclusion of Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026 further reinforces Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace as premier destinations for major international culinary and beverage events and underscores Wynn’s continued contribution to Macao’s reputation as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy.

Building on the momentum of the event’s Macao debut in 2025, this year’s edition took on added significance as Wynn celebrates 20 years in the city. From July 24 to 29, Wynn presented six days of official gatherings, bar takeovers, collaborative dinners and late-night celebrations. Anchoring the festivities was a special edition of “Wing Lei Bar & Friends”, expanding Wing Lei Bar’s established platform into a resort-wide celebration of global cocktail and culinary culture.

The official program: Bartenders’ Feast, Awards Ceremony and beyond

The week’s official program included the Bartenders’ Feast, the Meet the Bartenders media roundtable, the live Awards Ceremony, and the Closing Brunch. On July 27, the Bartenders’ Feast welcomed guests to Gourmet Pavilion, the upscale food hall inspired by Asia’s vibrant street food culture at Wynn Palace. Wing Lei Bar was joined behind the bar by Shanghai’s Pony Up and Goa’s Boilermaker for an evening of cocktails, live music and interactive experiences, setting a festive tone ahead of the main ceremony.

The Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026 awards ceremony returned to the Grand Theater of Wynn Palace on July 28 for the live unveiling of the annual ranking. More than 1,000 guests arrived for a red-carpet welcome and cocktail reception before the countdown revealed the bars and hospitality talents defining the region’s drinks landscape. The celebrations continued into the evening with a post-ceremony reception showcasing the breadth and diversity of Wynn’s culinary experiences.

The week culminated on July 29 with the official Closing Brunch at Wynn Macau’s vibrant seafood restaurant Drunken Fish. Overlooking the iconic Performance Lake, this daytime finale brought together Wing Lei Bar, Bangkok’s Dry Wave Cocktail Studio and Jakarta’s Carrots for a final round of cocktails, accompanied by an extensive spread from the Wynn culinary team. Personalized Portuguese tile magnets offered guests a locally inspired keepsake, bringing the week to a close with a distinct Macao touch.

“Wing Lei Bar & Friends” extends the celebration across Wynn

Beyond the official events, Wynn’s signature restaurants and bars welcomed more than 50 bartenders and chefs from Asia, Europe and North America. Through an expanded edition of “Wing Lei Bar & Friends”, the celebration unfolded across a dynamic program of guided tastings, guest shifts, collaborative meals and spirited late-night takeovers.

Highlights included the launch of UNITY 2.0, the second chapter of Wing Lei Bar’s signature cocktail menu, alongside a dynamic lineup of guest shifts and bar takeovers. Signature events ranged from the “Bartenders’ Bartender Takeover”, which united acclaimed industry veterans recognized by their peers, to “Behind Her Bar,” an all-female showcase of contemporary bartending talent.

Other key activations included “The Road Less Traveled,” spotlighting emerging destinations and distinctive bar concepts, as well as dedicated showcases celebrating Hong Kong’s influential bar scene, contemporary British mixology, and Kuala Lumpur’s vibrant cocktail culture. The festivities culminated in an energetic after-party at the Palace Reserve Club following the awards ceremony.

Wynn’s culinary teams also took center stage through a series of collaborative dining experiences. Acclaimed chefs from Chef Tam’s Seasons, Lakeview Palace, Drunken Fish, Mizumi and SW Steakhouse collaborated with leading international talents, including the teams from Tokyo’s NARISAWA, Sri Lanka’s Smoke & Bitters, and Mumbai’s Masque, highlighting Wynn’s ability to convene world-class talent across both dining and drinks while fostering meaningful exchange between industry leaders from around the globe.

Through its partnership with Asia’s 50 Best Bars and the expansion of “Wing Lei Bar & Friends”, Wynn creates meaningful platforms for collaboration, cultural exchange and discovery while introducing international visitors to the depth of Macao’s culinary identity.

Where AI meets Shanghai: The ecosystem advantage

SHANGHAI, July 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from english.shanghai.gov.cn

Participants engage in a dialogue on AI-related issues at "WAIC UP! 2026 Youth Dialogue", a side event of the 2026 WAIC and the High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance.
Participants engage in a dialogue on AI-related issues at “WAIC UP! 2026 Youth Dialogue”, a side event of the 2026 WAIC and the High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance.

As Bill Reichert walked through the exhibition halls of the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), AR glasses demonstrating real-time Chinese-English subtitles immediately caught his attention.

“It’s as if I were anywhere else in the world that actually speaks English,” said Reichert, a partner at US-based Pegasus Tech Ventures, describing the experience as a “wow moment”.

Reichert was among the featured speakers at the “WAIC UP! 2026 Youth Dialogue”, a side event of the 2026 WAIC and the High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance, held in Shanghai from July 17 to 20.

Organized by China Daily’s Business Development Department and co-organized by International Services Shanghai, the dialogue brought together international thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and experts to discuss not only the frontiers of AI, but also the conditions that enable innovation to flourish, including access to talent, investor networks, policy support, and everyday services.

“AI is going to flatten the world, being able to connect with anyone in any language,” Reichert said.

For Reichert, who has visited China regularly since 2012, the real revelation lay beyond the technology itself. In that demonstration, he saw a metaphor for what Shanghai offers: a place where linguistic, cultural, and professional barriers are actively dismantled.

As the dialogue continued, participants reached a shared conclusion: As the host city of the annual WAIC, Shanghai is not merely adopting AI; it is building an environment where global talent can connect, create, and thrive without the friction often associated with cross-border collaboration.

AI as an enabler

Gary Dvorchak, managing director of The Blueshirt Group and head of its Asia practice, came to WAIC expecting to see impressive technology. The conference exceeded his expectations. AI had already reduced costs and accelerated workflows in his industry in ways he had not anticipated.

But what truly struck him was the prevailing attitude among the exhibitors, entrepreneurs, and visitors he met: an eagerness to experiment and adopt.

“There’s no fear of AI here,” he said. “Everyone is embracing it and thinking about how they can use it to make life better.”

Tong Huiqi, a clinical psychologist and clinical professor at Stanford School of Medicine, shared how she uses an AI-assisted documentation system to free herself from note-taking during consultations.

“My clients love it because AI allows me to be 100 percent connected with them,” Tong said.

For Costa Rican conductor Edwin Montealegre, AI has already become a creative collaborator.

“I use AI to brainstorm ideas,” he said. “It gives me more time for artistic inspiration, for connecting with people, and for myself.”

Shanghai as an incubator

Yet Montealegre was equally quick to praise Shanghai’s practical support systems. While establishing his company in the city, he encountered a bureaucratic hurdle he couldn’t resolve on his own. He turned to International Services Shanghai, a platform designed to help expatriates navigate work, business, and daily life, and the issue was resolved promptly.

“It helped me a lot at the beginning, when I was establishing our company,” he said.

For Montealegre, Shanghai’s appeal lies not only in its creative energy but also in the practical infrastructure that supports international professionals.

The sentiment was echoed by Tong.

“There’s the beauty, there’s the openness, there’s the romance,” she said, adding that the warmth of the city’s residents and the sense of connection she found there made Shanghai especially welcoming.

For Rupert Hoogewerf, chairman of Hurun Inc, Shanghai’s international outlook sets it apart. He pointed to the city’s universities, investor community, deep talent pool, and established companies as key pillars of an ecosystem where startups can launch, grow, and scale. Supportive policies for overseas returnees further strengthen its appeal.

“You can feel that the government is really encouraging young people to explore AI, understand it, use it, and think about how to make it better,” he said.

Having founded his business in Shanghai in 1999, Hoogewerf’s experience reflects the city’s ability not only to attract global talent but also to retain it. “The ability to build a company and draw on a deep pool of talent has helped me remain here over the long term,” he said.

Looking ahead, Hoogewerf believes the opportunities in China’s AI sector remain widely underestimated. He described Shanghai as “a great incubation platform” where talent, capital, established businesses, and policy resources converge. At WAIC, he met entrepreneurs running one-person companies using AI tools, alongside others applying AI to traditional sectors such as metals and minerals analysis.

“There is a massive transformation going on,” he said. “You can apply AI in lots of different places.”

Dymax Launches 9310 Adhesive for High-Reliability PCB Reinforcement

Fast light curing, reflow durability, and controlled edge bonding for reliable PCB reinforcement in advanced electronic assemblies.

SINGAPORE, July 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dymax, a global manufacturer of light-curing materials and equipment, announces the launch of its 9310 adhesive engineered to reinforce fine-pitch, leadless components on printed circuit boards.

Dymax 9310 Light-Curable Adhesive for PCB Component Reinforcement
Dymax 9310 Light-Curable Adhesive for PCB Component Reinforcement

Designed for advanced electronics and AI hardware, 9310 cures in seconds with light, delivering a fast, streamlined alternative to traditional underfill. A secondary heat cure ensures full polymerization in shadowed areas, supporting consistent performance across complex assemblies.

Dymax 9310 maintains adhesion through high-temperature reflow. It is formulated to flex under strain, helping absorb movement caused by thermal expansion and reducing stress on solder joints and components. Its combination of high elongation (145%) and controlled modulus allows the material to accommodate thermal and mechanical strain, helping maintain bond integrity over time in demanding environments.

The adhesive’s high viscosity and thixotropic profile enable precise edge bonding without unwanted flow. This improves placement control and overall process consistency. The material is also reworkable at relatively low temperatures, supporting greater manufacturing flexibility.

“9310 makes it easier to reinforce components quickly and consistently, without the added steps and complexity of underfill,” said Doug Katze, Senior Electronics Business Development Manager for Dymax.

About Dymax

Dymax develops innovative rapid and light-curable materials, dispensing equipment, and UV/LED light-curing systems. The company’s adhesives, coatings, and equipment are perfectly matched to work seamlessly with each other, providing design engineers with tools to dramatically improve manufacturing efficiencies. Major markets include aerospace and defense; medical device; and consumer and automotive electronics.
