Swiss Fintechs to Display Latest Innovations @ Singapore Fintech Festival 2022
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 6th 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 7th 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.

AR43 Wins Zero Energy Building At The ASEAN Energy Awards
The ASEAN Energy Awards is the highest honour in Southeast Asia, intended to recognise the private sector’s efforts and participation in ASEAN’S energy development. The Frontier Building attained its Zero Energy Building title by achieving a net zero energy consumption, whereby the energy used by the building is less or equal to the amount of renewable energy generated. The canteen in NUS uses energy-efficient water-cooled chiller plants to meet their cooling needs. The architects designed the canteen with passive climate control solutions, maximising natural ventilation and lighting. The full-height glass walls face the open spaces and gardens, providing sufficient solar shading whilst allowing natural light to penetrate deeper into the enclosed areas.
Amidst the advancement in energy development, sustainability in architecture is essential to allow future generations to continue utilising the Earth’s resources. AR43 is one of the leading sustainable architecture firms in Singapore, responsible for creating stellar designs while ensuring resource efficiency. Their Frontier Building project has attained other awards, such as the Building & Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark Awards Platinum in 2017 and ASEAN Tropical Building at EEB 2020.
Amongst their many residential and commercial projects, the Frontier Building is one of the hallmarks of AR43’s design philosophy of sustainability. The firm believes that architects have a responsibility to the environment, and their designs should respect the site without compromising practicality and aesthetics. Through the recently clinched Zero Energy Building Award, AR43 hopes to put together well-designed commercial and residential buildings that adopt environmentally friendly processes in their architectural designs.

EdgeProp announces winners for EdgeProp Excellence Awards 2022; City Developments, Guocoland, UOL Group and Kheng Leong are Top Developers
- 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.

De Beers Announces Lupita Nyong’o As First Global Ambassador

Renowned Australian photographer and director Lachlan Bailey follows Nyong’o from the discovery of a rough diamond to its magical transformation into magnificent jewellery. The campaign celebrates De Beers’ unique passion for sourcing the rarest treasures of nature and revealing their exceptional beauty through remarkable craftsmanship. As Nyong’o embarks on her journey, she discovers the power that only a De Beers natural diamond jewellery creation holds: turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, a moment into forever and herself into a magnetic woman with limitless potential.

As a powerful woman who cares deeply about the world around her, Nyong’o is the ultimate representative of De Beers’ Building Forever commitment to people and the planet. As a brand that is part-owned by the citizens of Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, De Beers thinks differently about what value is and how it is created.
To this end, through its Building Forever approach, alongside this campaign, De Beers will continue to pursue its goals of engaging 10,000 girls in STEM, supporting 10,000 women entrepreneurs and investing at least $10 million across southern Africa to achieve these goals by 2030.
“I’m honored to be the first Global Ambassador for De Beers. This campaign brings to life the transformative power that I feel when I wear De Beers’ diamond creations, and the pride in knowing where they come from and the good they do. Even more importantly, my partnership with De Beers allows me to extend my advocacy for women and girls around the world” says Lupita Nyong’o.
“With her rare magnetism and elegance, Lupita Nyong’o is a testament to the power of boundless possibilities. Embodying modern and responsible luxury, Lupita is an inspiration for all of us. De Beers is proud that Lupita has joined our Building Forever commitment to people and the planet and we stand with her as she embarks on an exciting chapter in her career,” says Marc Jacheet, De Beers CEO Brands.
The De Beers: Where It Begins campaign launches globally with integrated media activations across multiple touchpoints on November 3rd.

Doubleview Achieves 89% Scandium Extraction from Metallurgical Tests on Flotation Tailings from the Hat Deposit Core Samples
Preliminary metallurgical extraction tests on flotation tailings in sulphate media at elevated temperatures demonstrated that 89% of the scandium in the flotation tailings could be extracted into solution. Higher levels of scandium extraction are anticipated with optimization of extraction conditions. These results are an important accomplishment in the metallurgical development of the Company’s Hat Deposit.
Recent quantitative mineralogical investigations in relation to the HAT Deposit showed that scandium is primarily associated with rock forming minerals such as clinopyroxene and amphiboles. Supplementary copper flotation test work showed that 99.5% of the scandium associated with the gangue minerals reported to the flotation tailings. The scandium grade of the tailings from the flotation tests assayed 65 g/t.
Andrew Carter, Doubleview’s QP, stated, “The mode of occurrence of scandium in Hat Deposit mineralized material is typical and scandium responds predictably to conventional approaches to extraction, furthermore, recovery of scandium from sulphate solution is not expected to present any undue difficulty.”
Doubleview President and CEO, Mr. Farshad Shirvani, commented, “I am specifically proud of the metallurgical team and laboratory scientists for achieving exceptional results in the recovery of scandium, now recognized in North American as an essential mineral. Initial scandium recovery rates of 89% from flotation tailings with the anticipation of higher recoveries with optimization is extremely encouraging. Scandium is present and has been assayed throughout the deposit and will be evaluated in upcoming resource calculations. Recovering scandium from tailings in addition to copper, cobalt and gold recovery in concentrates is significant as it potentially provides another commercially saleable product with limited additional costs. The Company recently announced it commissioned a maiden resource estimate for the HAT Deposit. The addition of scandium to a polymetallic resource which includes gold, copper, cobalt, silver and PGE could distinguish the HAT Deposit as a world class resource.”
Laboratory test work is currently underway in which the scandium bearing solutions will be subjected to a sequential purification process before recovery of scandium as a commercial salt. Several recovery processes have been identified to produce a range of potential scandium products, which will be further evaluated as the test work proceeds.

Gaming Blockchain Oasys Launches on Mainnet
The Mainnet launch follows a year of extensive partnership-building, ecosystem development and growth.
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 25 October 2022 – Oasys, an EVM-compatible, multi-layered blockchain built by gamers for gamers, today announces its plans to fully launch its Mainnet.

The announcement follows an extensive year of partnership-building, which saw 21 top-tier initial validators pledging their support to Oasys, including a wide range of established gaming giants such as Square Enix, SEGA, Ubisoft, Bandai Namco Research and Netmarble. Other Web3 ecosystem companies that have partnered with Oasys include ConsenSys and tofuNFT.
The launch comes alongside a recent and extensive code audit by Quantstamp, a leading blockchain security firm whose client list includes some of the industry’s largest blockchain projects such as Ethereum, Solana, Cardano and Near.
Oasys’ Mainnet will be implemented in three distinct phases, designed to stabilise, integrate and enhance the overall ecosystem. Oasys will commence the first phase of its launch on 25 October.
As part of the first phase, Oasys’ 21 initial validators will begin taking operations of all nodes and ensuring that Oasys Layer 1, the Hub-Layer, can maintain stable performance. The second phase of the launch is expected to commence soon after by 8 November, and begin to integrate Oasys Layer 2, the Verse-Layer, on top of the existing framework.
After both the Hub-Layer and Verse-Layer are stabilised, the third and final phase of the launch will begin on 22 November and is intended to integrate essential components of the Oasys ecosystem for gaming performance and user experience, such as the Oasys-Hub, a portal interface for users to engage with.

Daiki Moriyama, Director, Oasys, said: “The blockchain gaming ecosystem has grown rapidly over the past few years, reflecting an increasing appreciation of the value that projects such as Oasys have brought to the wider industry. However, now is not the time to reflect on past accomplishments, but focus on the exciting possibilities of the future. The Mainnet launch is a significant step forward in creating a fully-functional, public-led gaming blockchain that will transform the gaming future and give extensive value to players and game developers alike.”
Earlier this year, Oasys raised USD20m in a private token sale led by Republic Capital, Jump Crypto, Crypto.com, Huobi, Kucoin, Gate.io, Bitbank and Mirana Ventures. Oasys’ Mainnet launch is the final step ahead of an eventual public token listing, and the project is concurrently working to bring in more strategic investors and partners.
With the support of both traditional and crypto-native partners in the industry, Oasys will continue to focus on building better experiences and shaping the future of blockchain gaming.
