The event opened with a forward-looking keynote by Lord Stockwood, UK Minister for Investment, on international strategies and UK-Asia Pacific ties. Dynamic sessions explored technology’s role in real estate, ESG integration, and emerging opportunities, while the Investors Forum enabled sovereign wealth and capital owners to discuss private debt and generative AI applications. High-level delegations from Diriyah, Paris La Défense, Invest Seoul, and the UK’s Department for Business and Trade enriched exchanges across asset management, urban development, private equity, and advisory sectors.

Empowering Enterprises with AI-Driven, Built-In Security and Unmatched Flexibility

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 December 2025 – As digitalization accelerates, Hong Kong enterprises of all sizes are confronting an increasingly challenging cyberattack landscape, where system vulnerabilities, phishing, and ransomware are becoming more prevalent, jeopardizing operational continuity and corporate cybersecurity. Addressing these challenges, HGC Global Communications (“HGC”), a fully-fledged ICT service provider and network operator with extensive global coverage, and Cisco jointly launched Secured Broadband 2.0 (“SBB 2.0”) — a next generation solution that redefines connectivity by embedding cybersecurity directly into network connectivity. Build on “SecurityFirst” design philosophy, SBB 2.0 ensures network-based cybersecurity protection, creating a secure foundation that empowers businesses of all sizes to thrive. With its four key attributes — simple, hassle-free, robust and sustainable evergreen technology development — this upgrade delivers enterprise-grade security without complexity or compromise.

The “2025 Cisco Cybersecurity Readiness Index”[1] revealed a critical disconnect in cybersecurity. Despite 49% of global organizations were hit by a cyberattack within the last year and 71% anticipating a disruptive cybersecurity incident, most remain critically underprepared with readiness levels stagnating over the past 12 months. Secured Broadband has successfully blocked more than 4,000,000 cyberattacks since its launch, underscoring this “preparedness gap”. To address this critical need, HGC and Cisco introduce SBB 2.0, an advanced solution that moves beyond conventional security add-on solutions. Rather than adding external devices in your network, it embeds comprehensive, enterprise-grade protection directly into the broadband network. This “security-from-the-foundation” approach ensures enterprises are protected from the moment they are connected, seamlessly and effortlessly elevating their readiness towards cyber threats.

Andrew Kwok, Chief Executive Officer of HGC, said, “The introduction of SBB 2.0 is a strategic leap forward in our commitment to driving Hong Kong’s digital transformation. We are not only improving our ICT solutions, but also redefining the industry benchmark for business broadband. By combining Cisco’s advanced technology with HGC’s unparalleled ICT network infrastructure and solutions, we are building a future-ready foundation for businesses’ cybersecurity, allowing them to safely navigate the complex and rapidly shifting digital landscape with truly secure connectivity.”

Robust Connectivity Enhanced with Built-in Security

On top of the robust HGC’s broadband connectivity foundation, SBB 2.0 leverages a uniquely customized Cisco SASE solution. This integration revolutionizes business broadband by weaving security directly into the service. Key features of SBB 2.0 include:

• “CPE-less” network-based security feature: SBB 2.0 embedded protection into our core network and offer integrated cybersecurity without CPE. This reduces installation hassles and extent the protection to non-company devices, allowing enterprises to extend cybersecurity protection to all members who work with their own devices including contractors.
• Cloud Application & DNS Layer Protection: Cloud Application offers secure access to cloud applications via a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), which effectively prevents data leaks and unauthorized usage. DNS Layer Protection safeguards devices, ensuring they remain secure even when accessing resources outside the corporate network.
• AI-Powered, Proactive Threat Intelligence: The solution harnesses the power of AI to proactively detect and block a diverse array of cyber threats. By addressing these threats before they can affect users or systems, it ensures continuous protection.
• Zero Trust Principles: SBB2.0 implements a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) framework to ensure that only trusted and verified users, devices, and applications can access critical business resources — whether in the office or remote work environments.
• Simplified, Fully Managed Service: HGC’s security experts fully manage the service, and provide 24/7 hotline support. Businesses could gain clear visibility into their security status through easy-to-understand reports, reducing the burden of closely managing network security.
• Unique Subscription Payment Model: As the only provider in Hong Kong with a straightforward unique subscription payment model, we offer businesses of all sizes enterprise-grade security that is accessible, predictable, and scalable.

Argon Ho, Chief Commercial Officer – Group ICT Business of HGC, said, “In Hong Kong’s next wave of digital growth, secure connectivity must be inborn, not bolted on. With SBB 2.0, we’re redefining the foundation of business broadband by embedding security at the network core. This approach empowers enterprises and SMEs to operate with confidence — less complexity, greater resilience, and the freedom to grow in a fast‑changing digital world.”

Iris Feng, General Manager of Cisco Hong Kong, Macau and South China, said, “At Cisco, we believe that security must be at the heart of every digital experience. Together with HGC, we are raising the bar for business connectivity in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area by integrating powerful, AI-driven security directly into the broadband network. Secured Broadband 2.0 empowers organizations of every size to confidently embrace digital transformation, knowing their operations are protected from evolving cyber threats the moment they connect. This partnership reflects our commitment to helping enterprises build a secure, resilient, and future-ready digital foundation.”

Promotion of exercise culture and therapy may boost physical and mental health

The Singapore report of the Cigna Healthcare International Health Study 2025, released today encompasses more than 11,000 respondents across 13 markets, including 1,000 in Singapore and 4,000 across the Asia-Pacific region. The study reveals that physical, mental and financial well-being are the three aspects prioritized by Singapore residents. However, financial well-being is ranked the lowest with almost four in 10 (39%) rating their financial health as “fair” or “poor”.

Raymond Ng, CEO & Country Manager, Cigna Healthcare Singapore & Australia said: “Health and vitality are key to building resilient communities. It promises the well-being of our workforce and enables us to grow and prosper as a society. While vitality and well-being levels held firm among Singapore residents, more needs to be done in today’s uncertain environment to tackle stressors that can negatively impact their physical and mental well-being.”

The key indicators of vitality and well-being in Singapore are as follows:

On a regional level, overall well-being in Asia Pacific lags behind the global average, with less than three in 10 (28%) Asia-Pacific respondents rating their overall well-being as “excellent” or “very good”, compared to four in 10 (41%) globally. While physical and mental well-being are the two most important aspects of well-being for respondents globally, financial well-being is more important for those in Asia Pacific, coming in as the third most important aspect. With financial well-being remaining the weakest aspect across the globe, there is a pressing need for governments and organizations to render support to address financial concerns.

Robert Peat, Chief Executive Officer, Asia Pacific, Cigna Healthcare said: “Asia Pacific continues to be one of the fastest growing regions in the world. To sustain this momentum, communities and employers need to recognize that healthy people are the foundation of a healthy economy and implement measures to close the gaps in their well-being.”

Sleepless in Singapore: Financial stress as the sleep killer

While mental well-being in Singapore remains stable with more than a third of respondents rating it as “excellent” or “very good” this year, eight in 10 (79%) respondents are stressed. Their greatest stressors are the current cost of living (53%); uncertainty about the future (47%); and personal finance (43%).

Stress affects more than mental and emotional health and can have huge implications on physical well-being. Our study reveals that disrupted sleep is the most common effect of stress among respondents in the nation, with close to half (48%) of respondents who are stressed reporting this effect, compared to 38% regionally.

Therapy remains underused by Singapore respondents. Despite nearly half (49%) of respondents reporting being negatively impacted by poor mental health, nearly nine in 10 (89%) say they did not receive counselling or therapy in the past 12 months, with 77% believing they do not need it. Given the impacts of stress and poor mental health on physical and overall well-being, more efforts are needed to raise awareness about the benefits of therapy and destigmatize seeking help.

Exercise culture runs strong in Singapore

More than a quarter (26%) of respondents in Singapore rate their exercise habits as “excellent” or “very good”.

When asked how they manage their weight, two-thirds (66%) said they exercise regularly, higher than the Asia-Pacific average of 61%; with only 4% of Singapore respondents turning to medication for weight management. The findings underscore a relatively strong exercise culture and the prioritization of healthy habits among those living in the nation. Communities and organizations may leverage the growing fitness trend to enhance physical well-being.

Cautious optimism around AI in healthcare

Close to half (47%) of Singapore respondents are positive about the impact of AI on healthcare, with 45% expecting it will reduce wait times within three years. This could have an outsized impact in Singapore, as respondents here are 29% more likely to have delayed or avoided getting care due to concern with wait times than their regional counterparts.

Additionally, almost half of Singapore respondents (48%) mention a reduction in human interaction as an expected change with the advent of AI. The challenge ahead is striking the right balance between efficiency and empathy.

The full findings of the report are available here.
