DeKorea Unveils New Range Of Sustainable & Non-Hazardous Feature Wall Panels
The rise of ocean temperatures and frequent changes in climate patterns has led to an increased need to become more environmentally conscious. DeKorea strives to do their part for the environment with the launch of their latest collection, which features sustainable and non-hazardous wall panels that have been carefully designed with intention. These wall panels contain hardwood charcoal powder, a material that eliminates foul odours and hazardous chemicals in the air which are especially common in newly constructed buildings. Moreover, they also contain polystyrene moulding, which does not decay, deform or warp from moisture, and can be used in wet or humid areas like bathrooms and gymnasiums.
DeKorea is an established online store that offers a wide range of home decoration products to transform any room — from self-adhesive laminating sheets for cabinets to high quality Korean paint. Given the fact that the average Singaporean spends approximately 93% of their life indoors, the company hopes to help all homeowners feel comfortable and safe in their homes with their products.
Moving forward, customers may look forward to exclusive promotions, exciting social media events and attractive prizes, including free installations of the brand’s feature wall panels. With an aim to build a close-knit community, the company’s website is also undergoing a major revamp to encourage customers to share their own unique thoughts, tips, and perspectives on home design.
With the launch of a new range of sustainable and non-hazardous wall panels, DeKorea hopes to transform homes into a conduit that reconnects individuals with the positive impacts of nature.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) management software Odoo opens local office to support Aussie companies to become more digitally savvy
After conquering Europe, the United states, Latin America, Africa, India and Hong Kong, the all-in-one integrated business solution Odoo is now setting up shop in Australia! The company will open its very first Aussie office by mid-January 2023 in the Gold Coast area. The aim is to strengthen its local presence towards Australian customers and partners whilst contributing to the digitalisation of the country’s economy.
As highlighted by the government, Australian businesses have to adopt an unprecedented digital transformation in order to thrive in an ever evolving digital reality.

With an existing network of 18 partners in Australia, Odoo – whose mission is to help SMEs in their journey to digitalisation and improve their day-to-day operations – wants to directly contribute to this challenge. A perfect opportunity as 99% of the country’s economic landscape is made up of SMEs and entrepreneurs. Odoo cares about working closely with its customers. The focus on this new mission is thus to offer a local approach to the existing market at first, and later on to find new partners to enlarge the Odoo community.
To kick-off this adventure, the Belgian company has chosen to open its new office in the Gold Coast area. This choice is motivated by growing activity for tech employment in the region and accessibility to universities to dig up fresh talent. To support local customers and further develop its partner network, Odoo is looking to hire at least 20 new Australian collaborators by the end of 2023, from Business Development Executives and Business Analysts to HR and Office managers. “We want to offer our employees a place where they can combine work, career growth and the best of the Australian lifestyle. Our office branch will replicate the same amazing company culture we have in Belgium: encouraging flexibility, responsibilities, autonomy and a work hard – play hard mindset.” says Kelian Buitendijk, Director of the office.
Nowadays, many companies are seeking out technologies that will allow them to improve their business processes through automation and integration. The Belgian triple unicorn is confident about entering the forefront of the Australian scene to support down under’s businesses become more digitally savvy and refocus their activity on meaningful work to better support their own customers and employees. Odoo wants to bring value through short and efficient implementations, in addition to customised ready-to-use features such as taxes and accounting.
