Hong Kong is also a place of scientific and technological innovation. The Global Innovation Index 2024 by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) ranked the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou science and technology cluster second globally for the fifth consecutive year. Hong Kong is an international trading and investment centre, so we need to provide a free and fair environment in which to do business. It is in our very interest to protect IP rights. The Business of IP Asia Forum brings together intellectual property professionals and business leaders from all over the world to discuss the latest developments in the IP world and to explore collaboration opportunities.”Mr Chan said in his opening remarks: “Our strategy for ensuring Hong Kong’s rise as a regional IP trading leader is built on two key pillars. First, enhancing IP infrastructure. We will update the Copyright Ordinance and the registered design regime to meet demand today and tomorrow. Legislative amendments will also be proposed to streamline IP litigation, allowing our courts to manage such cases more effectively. Second, we are building an IP savvy workforce and our Intellectual Property Department will work with the Qualifications Framework Secretariat to develop IP training materials for 23 industries. It will also advance our plans to introduce regulatory arrangements for local patent agents.”BIP Asia Forum promotes high-quality growthThis year’s BIP Asia Forum, themed “Reimagining IP for Impact and Growth”, features insights from industry leaders worldwide.During the “Policy Dialogue – Reimagining IP for Impact and Growth” session, Wang Binying, Deputy Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization, said: “Global IP filings have shown mixed results in 2023. These figures prove that there is a continued willingness of investment in IP, and innovative movement worldwide in general. It also posed a question, how do we keep faster development and change downsides into positives' An important way to improve this trend is to do promote IP financing, in particular, financing high-risk, high-potential startups and emerging technologies.”The first day’s Plenary Session, titled “Unlocking Business Success with IPs”, features Michael Moriarty, Managing Director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort; Guy Riddell, Managing Director of Peninsula Merchandising Limited; and Dr Na Wei, Senior Director of IP Licensing at Xiaomi. This headline session covers how to effectively combine brand, IP, and technology to drive sustainable business growth, explore new business opportunities and enhance the customer experience.In-depth discussion on the potential of IP financingThe afternoon session, “IP Valuation and Financing” explores various IP valuation methods, and the potential of IPs as financing tools for businesses. The session features Martin Brassell, Co-founder and CEO of Inngot Limited; Roland Emmans, Head of Technology & Growth Lending at HSBC UK Bank Plc; and Nicolas Konialidis, Asia Director and Technical Director of the Business Valuation Board (BVB) at International Valuations Standards Council (IVSC).This year, the BIP Asia Forum and Entrepreneur Day jointly present the Global Tech Summit; a two-day series of sessions exploring the transformative impact and opportunities of artificial intelligence (AI) across various industries, including food and agriculture, sports, real estates, communications and Web3.

Mr Karafilis said, “Anytime you’re looking at scaling a company, it’s about expanding your circle of competence. The way I did this was to hire experts and professionals in certain fields that then enabled that to expand. Something a bit different now in the AI era is that you can infinitely expand your competence. Using AI tools, you’re actually able to present to investors an ability to go into new markets, to produce new products, or to work on technical products that maybe you originally didn’t have any experience in.”Prof Jackson said: “AI is not a panacea or silver bullet. You have to use it selectively in a targeted way, because it’s new and we’re all learning how to use it in a supportive way. Artificial intelligence is not emotional intelligence. A lot of business is derived from relationships, nurturing those relationships, and particularly as you expand to a lot of markets, doing that with some intercultural communication competence.”Tomorrow, the HKTDC will co-organise the Rising Stars: Gen Z Entrepreneurs seminar with the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, which will feature Ugochi Owo, CEO of Flindel; Ryan Lee, Chief Financial Officer of OAO Limited; and Maurice Chang, CEO & Co-founder of Mindplus AI, to share how the new generation of entrepreneurs leverages technology and innovative strategies to turn their visions into reality.Outstanding global start-ups gather at Start-up Express: International EditionThe popular Start-up Express: International Edition returns for the third successive year at E-Day with 10 winning start-ups covering augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation systems, AI English tutors, sustainable footwear made from recycled materials, modular robotic seats, and climate tech solutions. Fourteen start-ups are present on the first day of E-Day to share their entrepreneurial experiences and insights.Additionally, InnoClub, the one-stop platform co-developed by the HKTDC and Hang Seng Bank, also hosts the InnoClub Award Presentation Ceremony and Networking Reception on the first day of E-Day to recognise the outstanding achievements of InnoClub members in I&T.Adding to the excitement of the BIP Asia Forum and E-Day is DesignInspire, held concurrently from 5 to 7 December at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. DesignInspire brings together global design and creative leaders, trendsetting brands, associations, and academies to promote next generation creativity through a series of interactive exhibits, design masterpieces, and award-winning projects.Websites:BIP Asia Forum: https://bipasia.hktdc.com/en/Entrepreneur Day: https://portal.hktdc.com/eday/enStart-up Express International: https://portal.hktdc.com/startupexpress/en/s/start-up-express-internationalPhoto Download: https://bit.ly/3ZD4SjxThe 14th Business of IP Asia Forum, jointly organised by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government (HKSAR Government) and Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), officially commences today with Eric Chan, Chief Secretary for Administration of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.Dr Peter K N Lam, GBM, GBS, Chairman of the Hong Kong Trade Development CouncilHu Wenhui, Deputy Commissioner of the China National Intellectual Property AdministrationWang Binying, Deputy Director General of the World Intellectual Property OrganizationThe “T-Chat – Changes, Challenges and Chances: A Startup’s Guide to Navigating the AI Era” seminar on the first day of Entrepreneur Day with Martin Karafilis, CEO of Fishburners, and Prof Keith Jackson, Chair of the Hong Kong UK Business Forum.

Jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and the Federation of Hong Kong Business Associations Worldwide (FHKBAW), the two-day event attracted more than 320 business leaders from 28 countries and regions, focusing on hot topics such as Hong Kong's business outlook, the development of the Northern Metropolis and youth entrepreneurship, providing participants with in-depth insights into different areas and actively promoting the advantages of Hong Kong's "eight centres".Promoting Hong Kong as a key international business platformGiving the opening remarks on the first day of the event, Margaret Fong, Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “We have held the Hong Kong Forum for 25 consecutive years. In the late 1990s, when the Asian financial crisis gripped much of the region and the long process of recovery had just begun, we launched this event to demonstrate to the world that, despite the crisis, our city remained a vital international business platform.”She also mentioned the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area (GBA). “With Hong Kong being the most international city in the GBA and a two-way gateway to Mainland China, our city is a ‘super-connector’ linking the mainland with the world. With our strengths in traditional industries and the strides we are making in newer sectors, Hong Kong is brimming with opportunities. Amid today’s digital and sustainability agendas, the city is accelerating its transition towards a more innovation-driven, digitally competitive and greener future.”Hans Poulis, Chairman of the Federation of Hong Kong Business Associations Worldwide, said: “We had some remarkable sessions lined up this year, including a discussion on the foundation of global competitiveness that emphasised the critical role of the rule of law and international cooperation in maintaining Hong Kong's status as a leading financial hub. We also explored the Northern Metropolis initiative, which aims to position Hong Kong as an international business and innovation hub, highlighting its strategic significance within the Greater Bay Area. We also delved into the efforts of local industries to drive sustainability, showcasing innovative practices that are shaping a greener future for Hong Kong.”John Lee, Chief Executive of the HKSAR, was Guest of Honour at the Hong Kong Forum’s keynote luncheon on the second day of the event (4 December). He said: “Hong Kong is the world's ‘super connector’. Hong Kong has long attracted businesses and investors, thanks to our clear and compelling advantages - from a free and open investment environment and simple and low tax system, to modern infrastructure and logistics networks and the unfettered flow of information, capital, goods and people.”He additionally mentioned: “To build on our strengths, the Hong Kong SAR Government has implemented a wide range of initiatives, over the past two years, promoting economic opportunities. We are pressing ahead with the development of the ‘eight centres’ of excellence, as set out in the 14th Five-Year Plan, as well as the Northern Metropolis, the new engine of Hong Kong's economic future. We've also set up Hong Kong Talent Engage and the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises, to boost our strategic value and drive for talent and enterprises.”Focusing on HK’s legal system, the Northern Metropolis and green transformationUpholding the rule of law and maintaining strong international cooperation are essential to the continued success of Hong Kong as a global financial and business hub. In a session titled “The Foundation of Global Competitiveness” on the first morning of the forum, Rimsky Yuen, Senior Counsel and former Secretary for Justice, examined how Hong Kong’s robust legal system, based on the principles of common law and the independence of the judiciary, has been instrumental in establishing the city as an open, transparent and trusted place for business.The latest Policy Address highlighted how Hong Kong is moving forward, with the Northern Metropolis becoming a new engine for the city’s future growth. Vic Yau, Director of the Northern Metropolis Co-ordination Office of the Development Bureau, provided participants with an overview of the key features and strategic significance of the Northern Metropolis initiative, highlighting its potential to strengthen Hong Kong's role as a leading finance-technology "dual engine" within the GBA. The Northern Metropolis will provide a new economic impetus for Hong Kong, underpinned by innovation and technology development that will help the city develop into an international business and innovation hub.Sustainability was also in focus at the forum, with local business leaders sharing their valuable experience in promoting green transformation in different industries and enterprises and providing participants with a comprehensive overview of their sustainability efforts and innovations.

SINGAPORE, Dec 4, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - How much sugar does a Singaporean typically take in a day? In a recent speech by Health Minister Mr. Ong Ye Kung, Singapore is too sweet. While the average daily sugar intake of Singaporeans has fallen from 60g in 2018 to 56g in 2022, this number still works out to about 11 teaspoons of daily sugar consumption, about 10% higher than the ideal intake of less than 50g.Amid an ageing population, the younger generation in Singapore is also increasingly affected by this chronic condition, highlighting a growing national health concern related to sugar consumption.Sugar, a common mis-solution to anxiety, often provides a sense of fleeting comfort. The instant boost in dopamine from sugar can create a cycle of dependency, giving temporary relief from stress or anxiety but contributing to harmful physical effects, such as inflammation, weight gain, and insulin resistance.The overconsumption of sugar, combined with sedentary lifestyles and other unhealthy dietary habits have contributed to diabetes becoming a major global health crisis today – Alarmingly, diabetes rates are rising among the younger generation, including both teenagers and young adults, contributing to nearly half a million cases in Singapore. Astonishingly, 40% of Singaporeans remain unaware of their pre-diabetic status, an often silent condition that could lead to type 2 diabetes.Diabetes is a chronic condition that if left unmanaged, can lead to serious health complications, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, nerve damage or even vision loss. However, type 2 diabetes can be prevented through proactive lifestyle changes, including healthy eating, regular physical activity, so as to maintain optimal blood sugar levels.In line with World Diabetes Day on 14 November, LAC (pronounced as L-A-C) is dedicated to highlight the importance of taking preventative measures against diabetes. By incorporating supplements that support blood sugar regulation and reduce carbohydrate absorption, along with a healthy diet and increased physical activity, individuals can maintain their glucose levels and maintain their metabolic health.LAC GlucoX is designed to support healthy glucose levels. Formulated with bitter melon and Fibersol-2, Banaba leaf, Gymnema, Chromium and Brown Seaweed, GlucoX helps slow down carbohydrate absorption and optimises glucose utilisation, supporting individuals in managing their blood sugar levels effectively.LAC Bitter Melon Formula, is formulated with Momordica Charantia Polysaccharide (MCP), a key compound from bitter melon known for its ability to support healthy blood glucose levels. It enhances the body’s ability to regulate insulin production and supports the overall metabolic health of individuals. Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

SAN JOSE, CA, Dec 5, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In an era where 75% of security breaches are attributed to weak authentication, the importance of robust cybersecurity measures has never been greater. Recognizing this critical need, TACACS.net has emerged as the #1 choice for Active Directory (AD) integration, offering unmatched reliability, performance, and security.Authentication is often the weakest link in network security. If a hacker cannot authenticate to a device, they cannot exploit it. TACACS.net addresses this vulnerability by delivering a solution built to meet the needs of modern organizations, ensuring fast, secure, and seamless integration with existing infrastructure.Why TACACS.net Stands OutMost organizations rely on Active Directory to manage users, but competing solutions depend on middleware-complex intermediaries that often fail, usually at the worst possible time.
