Match dating launched a one-on-one relationship class to provide students with psychological counseling, relationship information, and personal love during the Easter season.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 5 April 2021- Match dating is a company based in Hong Kong. During the Easter holiday, Match dating is encouraging single people to sign up for one-on-one relationship classes. These emotional analysis classes will provide members with psychological counseling and single-pair love counseling.
A sentiment analysis class helps members determine whether a piece of writing is positive, negative, or neutral. With Match dating, the sentiment analysis class will help analyze how individual people think about potential partners, love, and relationships. After gathering vital information, the instructors can break preconceived ideas and negative thoughts by reinforcing healthy habits and patterns. Since the classes are offered in one-on-one format, members benefit greatly. It is easy for a member to focus, be open and honest in one-on-one classes, unlike in a room full of people.
Match dating has been in the dating industry for more than a decade. Ergo, they have gathered vital knowledge, skills, experience, and insight on love, dating, and marriage. For instance, to achieve and maintain a long-lasting relationship, one must face and address interpersonal limitations and shortcomings. Match dating understands that we are all different. People in different age groups have different family backgrounds and relationship experiences, making them have different desires and expectations about love and relationships. The Match dating team will help members find resolutions to their experiences and relationship history. The main objective is to help members learn how to get along with others in one-on-one settings.
The classes will help members identify and address reasons why past relationships failed, identify negative and judgmental behaviors to become more positive in the future. It may take time to develop a positive attitude depending on the circumstances. Some people have been divorced or bereaved, making it hard for them to start new relationships. The sentiment analysis class will help these people address their negative feelings and rebuild their self-esteem via psychological counseling.
About Match Dating
Match dating is a reputable one-on-one dating agency that helps singles find love and break the negative perception of relationships and marriage. Match dating does not believe in speed dating because it leads to confusion and self-doubt. Instead, Match dating provides a one-on-one approach to understand individual clients and match them with ideal partners depending on their personality, background, and expectations.
Unlike the dating app, Match dating believes that integrity is the most important thing in a relationship. The team will authenticate the guests to ensure that the information and photos provided by the guests are authentic. The rest will be screened out to ensure the quality of the members. Meet the basic requirements. After confirming the match, members only need to select the date and time and catering requirements, and all other appointment procedures and matters will be handled by the team, so customers don’t need to worry too much. The person in charge of Match Dating said frankly: “No one wants to be alone for a lifetime, and always hope that someone will support them. Singlism and inmarriage are just no excuses for a suitable partner.” Match Dating is happy to lead a group of members thousands of miles away and provide makeup. Service, image guidance, professional psychotherapy and love counseling and a series of professional services, love novices can also enjoy one-on-one matching services with peace of mind.

This initiative comes as the UK looks to deepen its relationship following the UK-Singapore free trade deal signed last year, which has opened more opportunities to boost trade and investment between the two countries, the UK has also committed to scoping a UK-Singapore Digital Economy Agreement (DEA), with the aim of launching negotiations in 2021.
Tech Nation is working in collaboration with Plug and Play, who will create an in-market entrepreneur network in Singapore to help these scale-ups make the leap, as well as the UK Department for International Trade in Singapore to deliver this international programme.
The first cohort of companies from the UK looking to explore new opportunities here includes:

- Assuria
- Cambridge Intelligence
- Topolytics
- Dataswift
- Firefly

Please refer to Annex A for company profiles.
Talking about the launch of this programme, Gerard Grech, CEO of Tech Nation said: “Singapore is an extremely important partner for the UK tech sector, and a country that shares our success in this field. We can’t wait to see the success that our International Growth Programme in Singapore, as part of the Digital Trade Network, brings to both countries.
As found in Tech Nation’s ‘Unlocking Global Tech’ report, for UK companies, Singapore was one of the fastest rising global opportunities for trade, climbing 5 places in the rankings for global tech opportunity between 2019 and 2020.
These 12 digital tech companies have been selected from Tech Nation’s network of 800 UK tech scale-ups who have been through our growth programmes over the past seven years. The International Growth Programme in Singapore is just a first step for Tech Nation as we help more UK digital tech companies identify opportunities to enter and grow into Southeast Asia.
The UK’s tech sector, driven by fast growing tech scale-ups, is already growing six times faster than the rest of the UK economy combined – the UK tech start-up and scale-up ecosystem is valued at almost $600bn and the UK has produced 80 unicorns.
Thinking globally is now vital for UK tech and Tech Nation. 80% of our latest Upscale cohort cited international expansion as their number one challenge, so this International Programme in Singapore is key to the next stage of growth for UK tech.”
Sam Myers, Her Majesty’s Trade Commissioner for Asia Pacific at the UK Government Department for International Trade said: “The launch of the first Tech Nation International Growth Programme for UK tech scale-ups in Asia Pacific highlights the importance of Singapore and the wider region for the UK’s future. This is yet another way Singapore and the UK can continue to collaborate in the digital economy. Collective action with our partners will be vitally important to address global challenges and harness the benefits of the digital age.”
This week also sees the selection of the first cohorts of the Digital Trade Network’s International Growth Programme in Australia, Japan and South Korea. Due to overwhelming interest from UK tech companies in Asia Pacific, Tech Nation is also providing a series of webinars, bootcamps and interactive workshops over the next few months to support UK tech scale-ups looking to grow their businesses into this region.
Tech Nation will continue to work closely with the UK government to help more UK tech companies enter new markets like Singapore, while also providing links for Singapore’s businesses into tech clusters across the UK.

imoo Singapore Leverages on Technology to Enhance Children Safety With Upcoming Launch of Watch Phone Z6
Created for families and children, imoo Singapore’s products aim to give parents a hand when it comes to keeping everyone safe
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 5 April 2021 – In this day and age, smart devices are everywhere, even amongst children. The struggle to maintain a balance between early technological adoption versus increasing worries of security and safety is real, and imoo Singapore is extending help in the form of the upcoming imoo Watch Phone Z6.
With the team comprised of many parents, the overarching goal of the company’s product innovation was to give parents a viable alternative to the smartphone.
According to a Straits Times report, “two-thirds of children aged seven to nine in Singapore use smartphones every day, and are active on social media.” For parents, the need for security is often in conflict with the potential pitfalls of technology.
Designed as a device to alleviate parents’ concerns and a joy to use for the child, imoo’s focus remains on enhancing the safety of children without adding unnecessary risks in the form of social media and other security concerns.
Tailored Features
imoo Singapore’s upcoming launch of the imoo Watch Phone Z6 Singapore version is fully verified by TUV Singapore and registered under IMDA. It incorporates first in the market, high-resolution dual-side camera with HD Video call besides many other child-friendly features providing a platform for peace of mind.
For the child, screen time is kept to a minimum with the use of the Class Mode feature. Parents can dictate when the smartwatch made for kids can be used. This way, there are no distractions during essential times and fewer worries about usage time.
Communication is vital for safety, with dedicated features for the imoo Watch Phone making it stand out in the market. Accurate locating and seamless mobile connection with the support of 4G and VoLTE ensure uninterrupted communications between parents and child. Both Chat and Family Chat allow users to talk and interact with approved individuals, providing a social environment without potentially harmful websites and content access.
The imoo Watch Phone will give parents another layer of security when it comes to their child with long battery life with Scheduled Power On/off feature, IP68 water resistance meaning that a child could wear it safely while swimming. Its AMOLED multi-point capacitive touch screen with high resolution & full colour allows for quick response, while durability is not a concern with Corning Gorilla Glass screen. Its strap is made of TPSIV from Dow Corning, free from fluorescent additive and an environmental-friendly feature, making the watchband much more flexible and perfect for kids.
Safety First
The preventative measures extend into calls with the imoo Watch Phone Z6 as well. Calls are only allowed on the imoo Watch Phone from approved contacts within a child’s contact list. Any calls from strangers and unknown sources are automatically blocked, and notifications would be sent to parents to notify them. By ensuring children only communicate within a designated circle, they are less likely to fall victim to danger.
In emergency situations, the imoo Watch Phone Z6’s integrated GPS locating can prove invaluable in helping to find your child. The use of various positioning technologies – GPS, GLONASS, BDS, LBS, and Wi-Fi – provides accurate tracking both indoors and outdoors. In addition, the accelerometer helps determine if the user is in motion.
Options for Parents
For parents, the safety of their children is of utmost importance. However, a smartphone need not be the only solution to the problem.
The upcoming launch of the imoo Watch Phone Z6 from imoo Singapore in mid-April will provide an alternative for families to consider when it comes to prioritising safety while allowing for quality connection.
Visit the official imoo Singapore store to find out more about the upcoming launch of the imoo Watch Phone Z6 and other family-friendly products that prioritises the safety of your child.
