During her stay, Bittner explored the historic Dadaocheng district and experienced a traditional qipao transformation at the Dadaocheng Visitor Center. Dressed in elegant vintage-style attire, she strolled along Dihua Street, passing preserved merchant houses, temples, herbal medicine shops, tea stores and vibrant street food stalls. The immersive experience allowed her to witness how Taipei seamlessly blends historical heritage with contemporary urban life.

Sharing her journey on Instagram, Bittner described the qipao walk as one of the highlights of her Taiwan trip and recommended that visitors reserve the experience online in advance. She encouraged travelers to explore Dihua Street in traditional attire, noting that the lively atmosphere enabled her to connect deeply with local culture — from historic architecture and community scenes to authentic Taiwanese cuisine and artisan boutiques.

The Taipei City Government Department of Information and Tourism stated that the Dadaocheng Visitor Center offers a complimentary retro costume experience as part of its efforts to promote immersive cultural tourism. This initiative provides visitors with an engaging gateway into Taipei’s history while showcasing the charm of old districts through interactive cultural experiences.

Taipei’s commitment to safety and inclusivity has also gained international recognition. In 2025, Time Out ranked Taipei as the world’s safest city for female digital nomads, citing its secure environment, efficient public transportation and traveler-friendly infrastructure. This distinction further strengthens Taipei’s appeal as a destination where solo female travelers can explore with confidence and peace of mind.

North American Edge: SIM’s US & Canada Partnerships Explained


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 December 2025 – In today’s interconnected world, education is more than a credential, it is a passport to global opportunities. Singapore Institute of Management Global Education (SIM GE) exemplifies this vision through strategic partnerships with two leading North American institutions, the University at Buffalo (UB), The State University of New York, and the University of Alberta (UofA). These collaborations bring world-class degrees to Singapore, combining academic excellence with accessibility and flexibility.

Bringing North American Excellence to Singapore

North American universities are recognized for their rigorous standards, innovative teaching, and global outlook. SIM’s partnerships allow students to earn prestigious U.S. and Canadian degrees locally while enjoying opportunities for overseas exposure. This model offers affordability without compromising quality, making SIM a trusted gateway to international education.

University at Buffalo: A U.S. Flagship Institution

Founded in 1846, the University at Buffalo is the largest and most comprehensive campus in the State University of New York (SUNY) system and a member of the elite Association of American Universities (AAU). UB ranks among the top public universities in the United States, reflecting its strong academic reputation. At SIM, UB offers undergraduate programs in business and communication, backed by AACSB accreditation, the gold standard for business education worldwide. Only about six percent of business schools globally hold this accreditation, ensuring UB graduates meet international benchmarks in business knowledge and ethics.

UB’s programs at SIM are designed for efficiency and value. Students can complete their U.S. degree in just three years, compared to the traditional four-year program, and at a fraction of the cost. The curriculum blends core business principles with interdisciplinary learning, including courses in psychology, sociology, and technology, skills essential for thriving in today’s dynamic global economy. Faculty members include visiting professors from the U.S. and local experts, creating a rich, multicultural learning environment that mirrors the global workplace.

University of Alberta: Canada’s Premier Business School

On the Canadian front, SIM partners with the University of Alberta, ranked among the top four universities in Canada and consistently within the top 100 globally. Its Alberta School of Business holds the distinction of being the first and longest continuously AACSB-accredited business school in Canada, a testament to its enduring commitment to excellence.

SIM offers the MBA (FastTrack) program from UofA, tailored for business graduates seeking senior management roles. This program combines academic rigor with flexibility, allowing completion within one to two years. Students enjoy the same degree as those studying on campus in Canada, but at a significantly lower cost and with the convenience of remaining in Singapore. The program also provides career coaching and networking opportunities, equipping graduates with the tools to advance in competitive global markets.

AACSB Accreditation and Flexible Pathways: Your Passport to Global Leadership

Both UB and UofA share the hallmark of AACSB accreditation, a rigorous standard that signifies excellence in teaching, research, and curriculum development. For students, this means their qualifications are recognized worldwide, opening doors to careers across borders and industries. Beyond these flagship programs, SIM offers flexible pathways for lifelong learning, including part-time options, online learning, and articulation routes to other top universities. These pathways empower working professionals to upskill without sacrificing career progression, reinforcing SIM’s role as a lifelong learning partner.

Your Passport to Global Business Leadership

Choosing SIM’s North American programs is more than an academic decision, it is an investment in a future defined by global opportunities. Students gain a globally recognized degree from top-ranked universities, access to international faculty, and a curriculum that blends North American rigor with global relevance. In a world where borders are increasingly blurred, SIM equips its graduates to lead confidently on the international stage right from Singapore.

The “business aviation + eVTOL” multi-dimensional mobility framework will redefine high-end transportation paradigms, functioning as a vital conduit connecting principal urban metropolitan areas.

“We stand at the threshold of transportation methodology transformation,” Li Yuanfeng projected, “The execution of this 50-unit firm order commitment represents a significant milestone in our strategic partnership with Aerofugia. Looking forward, regulatory framework advancement and infrastructure maturation will catalyze the accelerated development of a comprehensive low-altitude transportation network linking core commercial districts, transportation nodes, and integrated urban clusters. Building upon this foundation, Sino Jet will persist in driving industry innovation, collaborating to inaugurate a new era in China’s low-altitude economy, delivering unprecedented temporal value and mobility experiences for our clientele.”

Accord Healthcare Announces Launch of Denosumab∇ – Second Biosimilar in Bone Health

∇ This medicine is subject to additional monitoring. This will allow quick identification of new safety information.

LONDON, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Accord Healthcare today announced the launch of Osvyrti (denosumab), a biosimilar to Prolia® (Amgen), and Jubereq (denosumab), a biosimilar to Xgeva® (Amgen), following the scheduled expiry of the reference medicine’s patent on 27 November 2025.

Both medicines were approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in September of this year following trials versus their reference product showing they are highly similar to the Prolia® (Amgen).

Denosumab marks the company’s second biosimilar launch within its bone health portfolio, further expanding Accord’s commitment to improving patient access to high-quality, cost-effective medicines in areas of high clinical need.

Supporting clinicians and healthcare systems in bone health

Osvyrti (denosumab) available as a 60 mg pre-filled syringe is indicated for1:

  • The treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and in men at increased risk of fractures.
  • The treatment of bone loss associated with hormone ablation in men with prostate cancer at increased risk of fractures.
  • The treatment of bone loss associated with long-term systemic glucocorticoid therapy in adult patients at increased risk of fracture.

Jubereq (denosumab) available as a 120 mg vial is indicated for2:

  • Prevention of skeletal related events (pathological fracture, radiation to bone, spinal cord compression or surgery to bone) in adults with advanced malignancies involving bone.
  • Treatment of adults and skeletally mature adolescents with giant cell tumour of bone that is unresectable or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity.

“Both OSVYRTI and JUBEREQ have been approved for a wide variety of bone-related indications, including osteoporosis and bone loss from the treatment of certain kinds of cancer,” said Paul Tredwell, Global CEO of Accord Healthcare. “These biosimilars have the potential to provide a large number of patients with treatment alternatives that lessen cost as a barrier to accessing proven therapies. At Accord, we are passionate about leading biosimilar adoption, and OSVYRTI and JUBEREQ represent important progress in expanding access, supporting our strategic drive to have 20 biosimilars on the market by 2030.”

Addressing the burden of osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a chronic condition characterised by reduced bone mass and structural deterioration, leading to an increased risk of fractures.

It affects more than 200 million people globally, with around one in three women and one in five men over 50 years experiencing osteoporotic fractures in their lifetime. As populations age, the prevalence and economic impact of osteoporosis are expected to continue rising, placing additional pressure on healthcare systems.

OSVYRTI

  • Comparable increases in lumbar spine BMD at 12 months (6.25% vs. 6.36%).
  • Equivalent pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, safety, and immunogenicity profiles.
  • Low anti-drug antibody incidence (≤1.6%) in both treatment groups, with no neutralising antibodies observed.
  • No impact on efficacy or safety following treatment switch from the reference medicine to Osvyrti.
  • These results support Osvyrti as a biosimilar and clinically interchangeable alternative to reference denosumab

JUBEREQ

  • Proven bioequivalence to the reference denosumab, with no clinically meaningful differences in efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics profile or immunogenicity
  • Compared to their HRQOL status before experiencing their first SRE, patients with metastatic prostate cancer showed marked scores across quality-of-life domains following an SRE (Skeletal-Related-Events)
  • Superior, sustained prevention of skeletal related events for >2 years, delaying time to first event vs. zoledronic acid
  • No dose adjustments required in patients with renal impairment

Notes to editors:

  • Osvyrti (denosumab) is a biosimilar to Prolia® (Amgen).
  • The Phase 3 study (INTP23.1) was conducted in accordance with EMA and FDA biosimilar development guidelines.
  • Prolia® is a registered trademark of Amgen Inc.
  • This information is intended for healthcare and trade media and is not intended for use with patients or the general public.

About OSVYRTI and JUBEREQ
The approval of OSVYRTI and JUBEREQ was based on results from two trials: a Phase I trial and a Phase III trial that met their primary endpoints. The Phase I trial was a randomized, double-blind, three-arm pharmacokinetic (PK) study comparing JUBEREQ to Xgeva in healthy adult males. The study demonstrated that PK parameters were found to be comparable between the two products.4 The Phase III study was a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel arm, multicenter study comparing PK/PD, efficacy and safety of OSVYRTI to Prolia in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. The clinical study results demonstrated that OSVYRTI and its reference product, Prolia, are highly similar, and have no clinically meaningful differences in terms of PK, PD, safety and efficacy.2,4

About Accord Healthcare
Accord Healthcare is one of the fastest-growing generic and biosimilar pharmaceutical companies in the UK and Europe. Through its focus on quality, accessibility, and sustainability, Accord works with healthcare professionals and the NHS to improve patient outcomes and deliver value across therapeutic areas including oncology, bone health, and autoimmune disease.
