The company dominates the premium healthcare market share in Singapore


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 March 2026 – Cigna Healthcare Singapore is proud to celebrate its 15th anniversary, marking a significant milestone in its journey to the forefront of global health insurance providers, supporting businesses, brokers, clients, and members in Singapore.

Celebrating Cigna Healthcare Singapore's 15 years of connected, world-class healthcare

“As we mark 15 years of supporting organisations with connected, world‑class healthcare, I want to thank the dedicated team at Cigna Healthcare Singapore. From our early days here, we have grown into a strong, purpose‑driven team serving both global and local businesses nationwide. This milestone reflects the trust we’ve built with our clients, partners and members, and our commitment to supporting people across every stage of life and career.” commented Raymond Ng, CEO and Country Manager of Cigna Healthcare Singapore and Australia.

To commemorate the milestone, Cigna Healthcare Singapore has launched a year-long campaign themed “Celebrating 15 years of Connected, World-class Healthcare”, running from March to December 2026. As part of the campaign, Cigna Healthcare Singapore will showcase its global connectivity and how they support the health of its members across stages of their lives through digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertisements across key locations in Singapore:

  • Fortune Centre: 23 Mar – 5 Apr
  • Sim Lim Tower: 6 Apr – 19 Apr
  • Velocity @ Novena: 20 Apr – 17 May
  • CIMB Plaza Façade Video Wall: 4 – 17 May
  • CaptiveMediaNetwork: 18 – 31 May

Championing employee well-being in Singapore

Cigna Healthcare Singapore has played a significant role in helping organisations strengthen their employees’ well-being across a wide range of industries. Today, the healthcare and health service provider specialising in corporate health insurance dominates the premium healthcare market share in Singapore. The versatility of services offered by the company enables them to serve clients from large multinational corporations to medium enterprises across sectors, such as technology, hospitality and financial services.

To deliver stronger connected care to its clients, Cigna Healthcare Singapore works with healthcare providers and partners, including Alliance Healthcare (Cigna Care Connect) and iXchange (IXPL), to expand access to quality care for members.

Internally, Cigna Healthcare Singapore champions employee well-being through several initiatives, including:

  • Wellness workshops on mindful living
  • Mental Health and Wellness activities
  • Quarterly “Duvet Days”, an extra paid day off, for rest and recovery of employees’ mental health
  • Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
  • Specialised mental health coverage in insurance plans

“I encourage our leaders to model healthy behaviours because wellbeing starts from within. When we build a healthy culture for our people, we set the standard for the cultures we help our clients create.” shared Raymond Ng.

Evolving with experience, developing future-focused solutions

Singapore is facing medical inflation of 16.9% this year, a trend which is set to drive a significant shift in the healthcare landscape. In response to this trend, Cigna Healthcare Singapore partnered with iXchange, a third-party administrator arm of IHH Healthcare, to launch value-based contracts late last year, helping curb rising premiums driven by higher costs and chronic conditions, while advancing cost management, sustainable care and AI-enabled efficiencies.

“Congratulations! We are proud to deepen our partnership with Cigna Healthcare Singapore as it celebrates 15 years of excellence. Collectively, IHH Healthcare Singapore and Cigna are focused on better cost and care management, ensuring that members are able to receive sustainable, high-quality healthcare to look after their well-being. This shift represents our shared commitment to a future-focused healthcare landscape where clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness go hand-in-hand,” shared Dr Peter Chow, Chief Executive Officer of IHH Healthcare Singapore.

Launched in 2019, Cigna Care Connect is a clear example of Cigna Healthcare Singapore’s commitment to innovation, created to meet the evolving healthcare needs of Singapore’s workforce. In February 2025, it evolved into Cigna Care Connect 2.0, responding to the growing demand from SMEs for more domestically focused healthcare solutions, while continuing to provide access to Cigna Healthcare’s premium standards of care and trusted provider networks.

“Alliance Healthcare is honoured to be a key partner in the evolution of Cigna Care Connect. Our collaboration is a strong testament to our shared vision to deliver cost-effective, yet quality healthcare that aligns with providers, members and clients. We look forward to many more years of delivering connected, world-class care that supports members through every stage of their corporate lives,” commented Dr. Barry Thng, Executive Chairman and CEO of Alliance Healthcare Group

Cigna Healthcare Singapore also integrates data analytics and AI into workflows and platforms to enhance efficiency and performance:

  • Common claim intake extracts and structured claims data to streamline processing, improve accuracy and better predict health and claim trends
  • Clinical Case Management Programme, integrated with technological solutions, bridges experienced healthcare professionals who guide members through their healthcare journey, from diagnosis to recovery, ensuring personalised care driven by digital efficiency.

The convergence of experience, innovation and human expertise ensures that both organisations and employees of Cigna Healthcare Singapore receive seamless, effective and personalised health solutions, keeping the company ahead in an evolving healthcare landscape.

“As we look ahead, we remain focused on innovation, partnerships and smarter use of data and technology to make healthcare more accessible and reliable. Our journey doesn’t stop at 15 years — we’re building the next chapter of connected, world‑class healthcare for Singapore and beyond” shared Raymond Ng.

SHANGHAI, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MGM Shanghai West Bund opened in 2023 as the first MGM-branded city hotel in mainland China. Located in Shanghai’s West Bund area near major art landmarks such as the West Bund Museum and Tank Shanghai, the hotel has become part of the area’s cultural scene, combining art, luxury, entertainment, and its signature S.H.O.W. service.

MGM Shanghai West Bund
MGM Shanghai West Bund

The hotel is designed to bring art into everyday life through its “Gan Chuang” concept, which combines emotions and creativity to let guests experience art in a natural way. This concept is expressed through installations, visual details, and artistic elements that appear throughout public spaces, guest rooms, restaurants, and the spa.

Designed by HBA, the interiors mix Eastern inspiration with modern design. Warm wood tones are combined with touches of blue, green, and orange, while materials such as fabric, leather, and stone add texture and comfort. Details like handcrafted lighting and ceramic pieces give each space character.

The hotel works with artists such as Ni Zhiqi, Jeremyville, and Shan Xiaoming, each bringing a unique style—Ni Zhiqi uses his “NI Tone” colors, Jeremyville creates bold and playful visuals, and Shan Xiaoming adds symbolic forms. The hotel also supports ESG principles by partnering with artists who use recycled materials and modern versions of traditional techniques, maintaining a strong focus on sustainability and responsible design.

The property includes 161 guest rooms and 58 suites, all with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Huangpu River and the West Bund. Dining is a key part of the experience, with four venues offering different concepts: Riva serves modern Italian cuisine in an artistic setting; Royal Court focuses on authentic Cantonese dishes made with high-quality ingredients; Emerald Lounge offers an art-inspired afternoon tea; and Sky59 rooftop bar provides creative cocktails and city views. Leisure facilities include a Zen-inspired spa, a river-view fitness center, and a rooftop infinity pool, while event spaces include the West Bund Hall and flexible meeting rooms for both business and social events.

With its international ambiance and deep connection to the West Bund cultural district, MGM Shanghai West Bund is both a luxury hotel and a cultural destination—an ideal gateway for guests to discover the city’s dynamic art and creative scene.

UQPAY Launches Enterprise-Grade Card Issuing Capabilities for AI Agents

By
Advertorial Desk
-

SINGAPORE, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AI agents spend money differently from humans. They don’t browse, hesitate, or second-guess. They detect a task, select a vendor, and execute—fast, autonomous, and at scale.
The challenge is that much of today’s payment infrastructure is still designed around human workflows. Giving an AI agent a traditional corporate card can create unnecessary exposure: overly broad permissions, persistent credentials, and limited task-level controls.
FlashCard is designed to solve that gap: One mission. One authorization. Then invalidated.

Introducing FlashCard: A Payment Card Built for Enterprise-Grade AI Agents
Introducing FlashCard: A Payment Card Built for Enterprise-Grade AI Agents

1. Security by Design: Task-Bounded, Lifecycle-Controlled

FlashCard is a task-scoped virtual card model: fund for a purpose, execute, then invalidate by lifecycle rules. There is no need to leave reusable, long-lived credentials in an agent workflow.
Each FlashCard is designed to be:

  • Issued for a specific task (one card, one purpose)
  • Bound by predefined policy and lifecycle controls
  • Invalidated after task completion or expiry
  • Reconciled back to wallet balances based on settlement rules

When the task is complete, the credential is no longer reusable.
This materially reduces unnecessary credential exposure. For enterprises deploying AI agents at scale, this is the difference between controlled automation and open-ended payment risk.

2. Programmable by Default: You Define the Rules

Every FlashCard is issued with a permission profile baked in. Before the card is ever used, you define exactly what it can and cannot do:

  • Merchant Category Controls (MCC)

Restrict the card to specific categories — software subscriptions only, cloud infrastructure only, travel only. An agent buying SaaS tools cannot accidentally — or maliciously — charge a casino.

  • Spend Limit Controls

Set a hard ceiling per transaction and per card lifecycle. The card physically cannot exceed what you authorised. No overrides, no exceptions.

  • Merchant-Level Locks

Pin a FlashCard to a specific merchant. The agent can only spend at the exact counterparty you approved — not a lookalike, not a redirect.

  • Geographic and Time Restrictions

Limit where and when the card is valid. A card for a Tuesday procurement run expires Wednesday morning.

This isn’t just fraud prevention. It’s programmable financial governance — the same control layer that compliance teams have demanded for years, now native to every card issued.

3. Built for the Agentic Era: MCP, Skills, and CLI-Native

FlashCard is the card product engineered from the ground up for AI agent payment.

  • MCP Server Integration

FlashCard exposes a native MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Any MCP-compatible agent — Claude, GPT, Gemini, custom LLMs — can issue, configure, and destroy FlashCards through a standardised tool interface. No custom integration. No bespoke API work. Plug in once, deploy everywhere.

  • Skill and Plugin Support

FlashCard ships as a ready-to-use skill for Openclaw. Agents discover the capability, understand its parameters, and call it natively — the same way they’d call a web search or a code execution tool.

  • CLI-First for DevOps and Automation

For engineering teams building agentic infrastructure, FlashCard offers a first-class CLI. Issue cards, set permissions, query balances, and trigger destruction — all scriptable, all auditable, all composable into your existing deployment pipelines.

flashcard issue –limit 500 –mcc 5734 –merchant “AWS” –ttl 24h
# Returns: card_id, virtual PAN, expiry — ready to inject into agent context
This is what “developer-first” actually means in the agentic payments context.

AI agents are already participating in real economic actions. The core question is no longer “Can they pay?” but “Can they pay in a bounded, auditable, and secure way?”
FlashCard is UQPAY’s answer: a payment primitive designed for autonomous execution, with security, programmability, and agent-native integration as first principles.
One card. One task. Greater control and auditability.

Ardingly College Vietnam Announces Official Launch, Pioneering the British Boarding School Model Amid Southeast Asia’s International Education Boom

LAO CAI, Vietnam, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Amid the rapid growth of international education in Asia and rising demand for British-standard programmes closer to home, Ardingly College Vietnam officially announced its launch, introducing an authentic British boarding school model to Vietnam.

Built on a 10-hectare campus in the former administrative centre of Lao Cai Province, a thoughtfully crafted boarding ecosystem where British architectural elegance meets the spirit of the local landscape, echoed in terraced rice fields and rolling tea hills Each day at Ardingly College Vietnam is a natural interplay between academic learning, physical development and structured boarding life - where every experience contributes to a purposeful journey of growth.

Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/ardingly-college-vietnam/9389651-en-ardingly-college-vietnam-official-launch

This development reflects a broader trend: instead of sending children to study abroad far away, many families are choosing high-quality educational institutions within the region, where their children can receive academic standards comparable to studying abroad in Europe or North America. This trend allows students to access high-quality international education within a culturally familiar environment, while also offering greater convenience for both families and students in terms of travel, climate conditions, and ease of adaptation.


With a legacy since 1858 in the United Kingdom, Ardingly College has nurtured generations of outstanding global citizens for nearly 2 centuries. Today, that journey continues in Southeast Asia. Ardingly College Vietnam – The first authentic British boarding school in Vietnam.

Ardingly College Vietnam is the result of a strategic collaboration between Khoi Nguyen Investment Holdings Group (KNI) and Ardingly College International Limited (ACIL), representing Ardingly College UK – a prestigious independent boarding school founded in 1858 in West Sussex. Currently, Ardingly College ranks among the top 40 best co-educational boarding schools and is the leading independent school in the UK for the quality of its International Baccalaureate (IBDP) programme.

The collaborative project follows the upgrade of Vietnam–UK relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in October 2025, which has strengthened cooperation in education. During a high-level Vietnamese delegation visit to the UK, both parties exchanged a Memorandum of Understanding on 30 October 2025, and subsequently officially signed the cooperation agreement in West Sussex on 28 November 2025.

The academic framework at Ardingly College Vietnam is inherited from the organisational model of Ardingly College in the United Kingdom. From a strong Prep School foundation to a focused and rigorous Lower Secondary programme that prepares students for the IGCSE and A-Levels pathway in Senior School, every stage is strategically designed to optimise long-term student success. As one of only five official Oxford AQA examination centres in Vietnam, students are able to sit their IGCSE and A-Levels directly on campus.

As one of only five official Oxford AQA examination centres in Vietnam, students are able to sit their IGCSE and A-Levels directly on campus.

With a total investment of nearly VND 700 billion (equivalent to approximately £20 million) for the first phase, Ardingly College Vietnam (ACVN) boasts a modern, well-equipped campus that meets the rigorous operational standards of UK boarding schools. Ardingly College UK’s commitment to comprehensive, close, and long-term collaboration is a testament to extending its prestigious educational legacy from the UK to Vietnam.

With its official operations in Vietnam, ACVN has also become the newest member of the global Ardingly family, alongside campuses in Kazakhstan and China. The school continues to inherit Ardingly College’s educational philosophy, governance model, academic standards, and boarding operations management from the UK.

Grade 6 is the optimal stage for students to begin boarding and develop independence. Within an authentic British boarding environment, they learn to listen, collaborate and build a community ready for a changing world.

Ardingly College Vietnam offers UK-standard boarding education for boys and girls aged 11 to 18 of all nationalities. Academically, from Grade 6, students follow the Oxford International Curriculum, taught entirely by internationally qualified teachers meeting Ardingly College UK standards. From Grade 9, they enter the IGCSE pathway, and in Grade 11 and 12, they prepare for A-Levels. As an official OxfordAQA examination centre in Vietnam, ACVN students can take their IGCSE and A-Levels exams on campus.

Authentic British boarding school model with a comprehensive Pastoral Care

A defining feature of British education is its emphasis on student wellbeing alongside academic achievement. This is reflected in the Pastoral Care Policy at Ardingly College Vietnam.

The distinctive strength of British boarding lies in the House system - a structure that nurtures connection and shared responsibility. At Ardingly College Vietnam, every student belongs to a House, supported by a multi-layered pastoral network including - Subject teachers - Specialist support staff - Boarding house staff - House Master or House Mistress

Pastoral Care ensures that every student feel supported, safe and understood, covering emotional wellbeing, behaviour guidance, safeguarding and personal development. More than counseling or discipline, it is a comprehensive framework that helps students grow into confident, balanced individuals.

At Ardingly College Vietnam, Pastoral Care is integrated into daily school and boarding life, guided by a simple principle: every student has someone to turn to, and no one feels invisible.

World Ready – Preparing students for a changing world

Adopting the World Ready philosophy from Ardingly College UK, the school aims to prepare students not only for university but for life in a rapidly changing world.

The World Ready philosophy is immersed in every learning experience and memorable moment. Each student is guided along a personalised journey of learning and growth, thoughtfully shaped around their abilities, character, and individual aspirations.

Beyond academics, students engage in enrichment programmes, interdisciplinary projects and career exploration initiatives designed to foster curiosity and motivation. The programme also emphasises entrepreneurship, innovation and real-world exposure, helping students develop adaptability, critical thinking and communication skills.

Students are encouraged to become socially responsible global citizens through community engagement and exposure to diverse perspectives, while maintaining a strong sense of local identity.

Long-term Vision

Ardingly College Vietnam aims to become a leading British boarding school in Southeast Asia, attracting students from Vietnam, China, and other countries in Southeast and East Asia.

The official launch marks not only the establishment of a new institution but also a meaningful step in Vietnam’s integration into the global education landscape.

Experienced leader, Steven Xie, to serve as Executive Vice President & Managing Director, based in Malaysia

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Swisslog, a global leader in automated intralogistics solutions, is strengthening the resources available to its Southeast Asian (SEA) customers through a new structure for the Asia Pacific excluding China (APeC) region.

Steven Xie, Executive Vice President & Managing Director, Swisslog APeC

This regional strengthening comes as Swisslog celebrates more than 30 years of operations in Southeast Asia, marking three decades of supporting the region’s logistics transformation with advanced automation solutions and local expertise.

Closer integration with Australia, New Zealand, and other Asia Pacific neighbours enables alignment across markets while strengthening Swisslog’s existing SEA service and management teams, and providing closer knowledge sharing between regions. It also provides SEA customers with direct access to expertise from across Swisslog’s broader Asia Pacific operations, including the Australia and New Zealand operations.

Swisslog’s Malaysia office already hosts one of the three global Research and Development teams, which includes strong in-house software SynQ, development, realisation and customer service expertise. This expertise will be shared with the Asia Pacific region, and SEA teams will learn from the wide range of projects being implemented in different regions.

Steven Xie to lead Swisslog APeC

The broader APeC region will be overseen by experienced leader Steven Xie, who will serve as Executive Vice President & Managing Director, based in Malaysia. Steven, who first joined Swisslog in 2017, has a hands-on approach that includes a close involvement with all countries and their teams.

“Across Southeast Asia, we are seeing increasing demand for scalable, resilient automation solutions as businesses respond to e-commerce growth, labour constraints, and rising service expectations,” says Xie.

“Bringing our markets closer together allows us to share engineering expertise, project experience, and innovation across borders. That collaboration strengthens our ability to deliver complex automation programs while maintaining the local presence our customers rely on.”

Across the APeC region, Swisslog works with major brands – including household names –  Yusen Logistics Singapore, True Thailand, Sanritsu Japan, Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA) Australia, Jaycar Electronics, Blum Australia, LinFox Australia, BevChain Australia – among many others.

Futureproofing warehouse automation with whole-of-life approach

Across the region, Swisslog is rolling out its “Ready for the Next” strategy, which highlights its role as a true lifetime automation partner, not just a solution provider.

“We take an outcomes-based approach to warehouse automation. For our customers, ‘next’ isn’t about chasing new technology for its own sake – it’s about future confidence,” says Xie.

“That means delivering throughput that holds up in live production, not just during commissioning. It means designing resilience into every system so it can adjust to seasonal peaks, SKU growth, or new fulfilment models. And it means creating scalable pathways that allow capacity to expand without disruptive re-platforming.”

“Being ‘Ready for the Next’ means staying accountable for the outcome long after go-live, meaning our customers’ decisions remain right as demand, channels, and product mix evolve.”

Local insights with regional resources

Under the new APeC structure, Swisslog customers across the region will gain tangible operational advantages, including:

  • Enhanced access to specialist engineering and technical expertise
  • Greater collaboration across regional project teams
  • Improved scalability for large and multi-site automation projects
  • Shared innovation and best practice across Asia Pacific markets
  • Stronger coordination across supply chains and service networks

“Successful automation depends on local insight,” says Xie. “From compliance and safety standards to labour dynamics and infrastructure considerations, every market has its nuances. Our local SEA teams remain at the forefront of customer engagement.”

“At the same time, regional alignment gives us the depth and flexibility to respond quickly to changing requirements and to support long-term growth strategies.”

“Our commitment to Southeast Asia is clear. We are locally engaged, regionally integrated, and focused on helping our customers build automation strategies that are resilient, scalable, and truly ready for what comes next.”

About Swisslog

Swisslog designs, manufactures and optimizes automated logistics solutions across the supply chain, powered by our modular SynQ software platform. With a global team of passionate employees and a portfolio of best-in-class technologies, we partner with customers from solution design through lifecycle.

  • Agentic AI business, centered on a “Result-as-a-Service” model, achieved revenue of RMB503 million, up 93.2% year-on-year, demonstrating strong momentum and sustainable scalability.

Business Highlights:

In 2025, Phancy’s three core business segments — AI Platform, API, and Agentic AI — established a multi-engine growth model, creating a cycle of synergy and mutual reinforcement.

AI Platform: Sustained Growth Driver

Driven by strong domestic demand for localization and the national “AI+” initiative, the AI Platform remained the Company’s core growth engine. With its full-stack product portfolio and leading market position, the segment delivered deep integration between computing power and platform services, lowering barriers to AI adoption. Supported by a comprehensive technology framework and a strong customer base, the AI Platform effectively boosted performance and contributed to the Company’s profitability breakthrough.

The Company continued to drive technological iteration, with a strategic focus on three core offerings: PhanthyCloud, HAMi vGPU, and ModelHub XC.

  1. PhanthyCloud – the backbone of the full-stack AI PaaS cloud service, integrating diverse AI capabilities to provide efficient, cloud-based services. Seamlessly connected to ModelHub XC and HAMi vGPU, PhanthyCloud delivers model adaptation and computing power scheduling, while maintaining broad compatibility with mainstream domestic chips to support digital transformation.
  2. HAMi vGPU – a core GPU resource management product that allows GPUs to be flexibly shared and scheduled. Customers can tailor GPU configurations to their business needs, significantly improving utilization rates.
  3. ModelHub XC – China’s largest ITAI (information technology application innovation) model community, designed to promote deep adaptation between domestic chips and AI models. The number of adapted and certified models has now surpassed 30,000. The Company had initially planned to scale the number of adapted models to the hundred-thousand level within a year, a milestone it has already achieved ahead of schedule.

API Business: Fastest Growth Engine

With the rapid adoption of AI Agents, token consumption has grown exponentially. Phancy’s API business, built on a flexible pay-as-you-go model and a comprehensive ecosystem, achieved leapfrog growth, and became the Company’s fastest growing segment. Token revenue for the first quarter of 2026 alone has already surpassed the full-year total for 2025.

The API business is anchored by the Phanthy platform, complemented by PhanRouter and PhanClaw, creating a comprehensive token ecosystem in synergy with the Sage Platform:

  1. Phanthy – the core platform of the token-based ecosystem. It integrates cloud services with more than 30,000 adapted models and industry-specific vertical models, delivering accessible API capabilities that reach over 100 million of terminal products and support the large-scale deployment of AI capabilities.
  2. PhanRouter – a unified API gateway for large models. It enables developers and enterprises to seamlessly connect with dozens of mainstream model providers, it is compatible with the OpenAI standard and major domestic chips, and supports both private deployment and token-based payment, reducing customer costs and easing operational complexity.
  3. PhanClaw – an agent platform deeply integrated within PhanthyCloud and serves as an extension of the OpenClaw ecosystem. It is designed to provide users with secure, controllable, and cost-efficient digital assistant services. Working in synergy with Phanthy and PhanRouter, PhanClaw manages the token lifecycle, including risk control, permission management, and log auditing, meeting the stringent security and compliance requirements of industries, such as finance and government affairs.

Agentic AI: Long-Term Sustainable Growth

Agentic AI serves as the Company’s revenue cornerstone and a “value multiplier” for empowering a wide range of industries. Operating under a Result-as-a-service model and aligned with national “AI+” energy development policies, this segment expanded rapidly across high-value industries, achieving economies of scale and strong growth momentum. Working in synergy with the AI Platform and API businesses, Agentic AI provides long-term support for revenue and contributes to the high-quality development of the Company’s operations.

In terms of business expansion, the Company is focusing on core scenarios in spot electricity trading and medium- to long-term electricity trading. It has developed a full-chain AI solution encompassing forecasting, decision-making, risk control, and post-trading review. This solution has already been deployed in multiple pilot provinces and recognized by key customers, effectively improving efficiency and profitability in wind power, photovoltaics, and energy storage. This model is now being rapidly extended to other industries, including manufacturing and finance.

Future Outlook:

Looking ahead to 2026, Phancy will continue to advance its four strategic priorities: deepening its AI 2.0 roadmap, accelerating the deployment of industrial-grade AI Agents, driving international expansion, and further extending into the consumer market.

In terms of the AI 2.0 roadmap, the Company will continue to pursue its core philosophy of “AI for Everyone”, focusing on foundational technology R&D and real-world deployment. By refining its end-to-end technology system, Phancy aims to lower barriers to AI adoption and enable more enterprises and users to benefit from AI.

DBS ARTable 2026 brought together art and gastronomy to illuminate the growing relevance in wealth strategies. The event opened with an insightful dialogue between Sebastian Paredes, Head of North Asia and Chief Executive Officer of DBS Hong Kong, and renowned award-winning actress, ceramicist and art curator, Karena Lam. Their captivating discussion highlighted the booming global art market and the rise of cross disciplinary creativity. Their exchange also delved into the profound significance of art from different perspectives, from cultural appreciation to legacy planning.

Sebastian Paredes, Head of North Asia and Chief Executive Officer of DBS Hong Kong said, “At DBS, we believe the true wealth extends far beyond mere financial metrics and numbers; it encompasses culture and the legacy. The Chefs have crafted dishes inspired by artistic concepts, transforming ideas into flavours, and stories into edible experiences. ARTable is conceived as more than just an exclusive event; it is a platform where creativity, gastronomic and personal expression converge, inviting our clients to explore new perspectives on taste and style.”

The highlight of the evening is the extraordinary 4-hand dining experience, a collaborative masterpiece by Chef Jun Lee and Chef Nara Yun. Chef Jun Lee, known for his innovative approach to Korean cuisine, presented a special dumpling dish paired with gim, a Korean seaweed sauce. This dish was inspired by the “Black and White” concept from “Culinary Class Wars”. On the show, the line between two sides—black and white—was where the most exciting moments and represented the golden moment everyone always seek. Complementing this, Chef Nara Yun introduced her Hondonju, a meticulously self-brewed drink inspired by an ancient Korean tradition of blending spirits, designed to perfectly enhance the delicate textures and savoury depths of Chef Lee’s creation. This unique culinary collaboration promises an unforgettable exploration of taste and artistry for DBS’ esteemed clients.

Further enriching the artistic journey, DBS Private Bank, in partnership with Christie’s Hong Kong, presented the “Dialogue Beyond The Senses” art exhibition. This exclusive showcase featured contemporary masterpieces by renowned artists such as Yayoi Kusama, Hilary Pecis and Fernando Botero, offering attendees a unique opportunity to immerse in diverse artistic expressions.
