• 67% of global shoppers spend more with brands they perceive to be authentic
• 73% are more loyal to authentic retailers
• Shoppers’ spend in Hong Kong, France and Spain most influenced by authenticity

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Media OutReach – 30 March 2023 – Authenticity is now a key new driver for revenue and loyalty among global shoppers as the trend for more mindful consumption continues, the latest research from Asendia, the leader in international e-commerce and mail delivery solutions, reveals.

Original research of over 8,000 global shoppers in Asendia’s ‘How To Sell Direct In The Age Of The Conflicted Shopper’ Report showed more than two thirds (67%) of global shoppers would spend more money with retailers they perceived to be authentic, with 59% saying they would only shop exclusively with authentic retail brands.

The key values defining authenticity for global shoppers were: being straightforward on delivering promises (58%); transparency within supply chains (43%); standing up for sustainability (39%); clear brand values (39%); and transparency with supplier relationships (34%).

Authenticity – the new currency for conversion, spend and loyalty

Seventy three percent (73%) of global shoppers also said authenticity made them more loyal to brands, with a further 65% saying they would switch to a competitor if they felt a retailer wasn’t authentic. Shoppers in Hong Kong (73%), France and Spain (both 72%) proved the most likely to switch brand allegiances, while shoppers in Hong Kong (80%) and the United States (75%) were the consumers whose spend propensity was the most impacted by a brand’s authenticity.

In the context of economic global headwinds and the rising cost-of-living putting extra pressure on household budgets and discretionary spend, authenticity is also helping retailers fend off rising price-sensitivity among shoppers. While a third of global shoppers plan to cut back on the volume of things they buy in 2023, almost half (48%) said a brand’s authenticity would make them less sensitive to inflationary price increases. However, this dipped to 43% of shoppers in the UK, where inflation remains close to a 40-year high.

Renaud Marlière, Global Chief of Business Development of Asendia, commented: “Of course, we see that shoppers are acting with caution due to the rising cost-of-living, but invariably they are also consuming consciously and mindfully. Shoppers now want to engage and buy from brands who act authentically. Increasingly, shoppers are holding the retailers and brands they shop with to account – and it is clear that authenticity is now having a significant impact on share of wallet, revenue and loyalty.”

“Brands and retailers need to take control of their own destiny when it comes to shaping the authentic shopping journeys consumers are now demanding. Shoppers increasingly expect accountability and transparency from retailers, whether through greater transparency around supply chain emissions, delivery promises or offering low- or carbon-neutral shipping options,” Renaud Marlière continued.

In 2022 Asendia announced it had reached 100% carbon neutrality through its carbon offsetting projects. It now offers carbon neutrality across all shipments carried out for international retail customers via its e-PAQ solution, a specialist range of international packet and parcel services designed for online retailers.

Channel matters – the impact of DTC on authenticity perception

Overwhelmingly, global shoppers feel brands that operated Direct-To-Consumer (DTC) were more authentic than those retailers who just operated via marketplaces. Over half (56%) of global shoppers felt that retailers that operated their own DTC channels were more authentic, rising to 68% of consumers in Hong Kong and 60% in both Spain and the U.S.

Combining global presence with local expertise, Asendia empowers online retailers to grow their cross-border operations by improving international shopping experiences. As well as its international parcel services and fulfilment solutions, it also offers sophisticated digital e-commerce platforms and solutions, including ESW, that deliver the seamless experiences online shoppers want when shopping DTC across borders, wherever they are located around the globe.

Key findings indicate that 98% of technology leaders have been impacted by the increasing complexity of the cloud, bringing issues of cybersecurity and cost optimization to the forefront

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 30 March 2023 – NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), a global, cloud-led, data-centric software company, today released the 2023 Cloud Complexity Report, a global survey exploring how technology decision makers are navigating cloud requirements coming from digital transformation and AI initiatives and the complexity of multicloud environments. The report found that 98% of senior IT leaders have been impacted by increasing cloud complexity in some capacity, potentially leading to poor IT performance, loss in revenue and barriers to business growth.

“Our global research report highlights paradigm shifts in how technology leaders look at and manage their cloud initiatives,” said Ronen Schwartz, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cloud Storage, NetApp. “As cloud adoption accelerates and businesses innovate faster to compete, technology leaders are facing growing pressure to juggle multiple priorities at once – causing many to rethink how they manage efficiency and security in this new environment.”

“Our global survey data demonstrates the extreme complexity of modern IT environments, and the pressure technology executives are under to show measurable outcomes from cloud investments,” said Gabie Boko, Chief Marketing Officer, NetApp. “At NetApp, we’ve simplified the complex through our approach, which enables technology executives to increase the speed of innovation, lower costs and improve consistency, flexibility and agility across on-premises and cloud environments.”

Key findings from the report include:

Cloud Complexity Reaches a Tipping Point

Data complexity has reached a boiling point for companies globally, and tech executives are feeling the pressure to contain its impact on the business. However, technical and organizational challenges may stunt their cloud strategies, with 88% citing working across cloud environments as a barrier, while 32% struggle just to align on a clear vision at the leadership level.

Global Context: The following regions list this as their top concern if data complexity is not managed:

• Cybersecurity: France, Spain, and Australia/New Zealand

• Leadership skepticism: France, Spain, Japan

• Inefficient use across the organization: Australia/New Zealand

• Lack of visibility: Japan

In Asia Pacific (APAC), the top business impacts due to increasing complexity of data across their cloud environments are increased skepticism over cloud from leadership (47%), staff not taking full advantage of business applications (47%), increased cybersecurity risk (45%), and lack of visibility into business operations (41%).

Leadership Want Cloud Results Now

Sustainability has become an unexpected cloud-driver, with nearly eight in ten tech executives citing ESG outcomes as critical to their cloud strategy. However, return on investment (ROI) is a concern among leadership, with 84% of tech executives saying their cloud strategy is already expected to show results across the organization.

Global Context:

• Nearly half of tech executives (49%) report that when cloud strategy discussions happen, cost concerns come up often or all the time.

• Data regulation and compliance is another cloud driver, with various local regulations promoting their multicloud strategy most or some of the time.

In APAC, 86% of tech executives are already expected to show results across the organization. The pressure to already show ROI on cloud investment is highest in India and Singapore, where 9 out of 10 tech executives feel it.?

Furthermore, 80% of executives in APAC say cloud systems are developed with sustainability goals specifically in mind. Within the region, Singapore (72%) and Japan (69%) lead in featuring cloud prominently in their sustainability strategy.

Three out of four tech (75%) APAC executives say their multicloud strategy is driven by data sovereignty requirements.

Tech Executives Consider AI as a Possible Solution

In the next year, over a third (37%) of tech executives report that half or more of their cloud deployments will be supported by AI-driven applications. Nearly half of tech executives at smaller companies – those with fewer than 250 employees – expect to reach the 50% mark in the next year, and 63% by 2030, while larger companies lag.

Global Context:

• The U.S. leads EMEA and APAC on plans to deploy AI-driven cloud applications in the next year, with France and Japan as outliers in their regions.

• In APAC, 56% of tech executives report that half or more of their cloud deployments will be supported by AI-driven applications by 2030. This presents a long-term growth opportunity for AI-driven applications in the region.

• Scaling AI is the top priority in EMEA and APAC, but is second in the U.S., behind meeting regulatory compliance.

“NetApp’s global research report reveals a disconnect between the executives outside of IT and those within – specifically, leaders working to execute on cloud are the ones most ingrained in the cost and complexity issues while those outside of IT have yet to fully understand. In the process of shifting to the cloud, leaders are experiencing challenges, leaving room for vendors to address these current or yet-to-be discovered issues,” said Randy Kerns, Senior Strategist & Analyst at the Evaluator Group. “As customers express concerns with cloud implementation, vendors have the opportunity to build and offer solutions to simplify the process.”

“APAC leaders today recognize cloud’s importance in producing critical business outcomes such as data sovereignty and sustainability. By addressing the cloud complexity confronting their organizations, they can unlock the best of the cloud and innovate faster to compete,” said Matthew Swinbourne, CTO, Cloud Architecture, NetApp Asia Pacific. “With NetApp’s unique combination of expertise, capabilities and hyperscaler partnerships, we help customers use the clouds they want, the way they want, while optimizing for cost, risk, efficiency, and sustainability.”

As organizations increasingly move to multi-cloud environments, NetApp aims to alleviate efficiency bottlenecks by allowing IT leaders to manage their systems on one, streamlined user interface. By taking an evolved cloud approach, NetApp is leading the charge for next generation cloud management and storage – equipping teams with the tools necessary to stay abreast of the key trends outlined in the research report above (e.g., optimizing costs, assessing risks, and operating sustainably).

NetApp partnered with Wakefield Research to conduct a quantitative research study during November 2022, among 1,300 tech and data executives at businesses in 9 markets: US, EMEA (France, Germany, Spain, the UK), and APAC (India, Japan, Singapore, and Australia/New Zealand). At the time of completion, all participants held positions that were classified as “director-level and above” and worked across IT, IT infrastructure, cloud infrastructure and data engineering departments.

Adhering to “longtermism” and “4321” development strategy

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 29 March 2023 – Times Neighborhood Holdings Limited (“Times Neighborhood” or the “Company”, which together with its subsidiaries, is referred to as the “Group”, stock code: 9928) announces its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2022 (the “Year”).

During the Year, the resurgent Covid-19 pandemic seriously affected China’s economic development. Meanwhile, the country’s property sector was bottoming out but still mired in a difficult operating environment — both investment and sales were in the doldrums as liquidity crises broke out among property firms. All this posed severe challenges to the Group.

For 2022, the Group’s revenue was approximately RMB2.606 billion; gross profit was approximately RMB556 million; gross profit margin was 21.3%; the core net profit attributable to owners of the parent company amounted to approximately RMB143.3 million. The Board recommended a final dividend of 2.2 RMB cents per ordinary share for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Steady development in the two core businesses of property management services and community value-added services

Times Neighborhood persevered with its core strategy of “4321” for development despite the difficulties in the business environment. It continued to further develop the markets of the city clusters in the four core regions of mainland China with its focus on areas with fast economic growth. In 2022, the business scale of the Group’s property management services grew steadily, with higher concentration of property management projects in target areas. As at 31 December 2022, the total contracted gross floor area (the “GFA”) for property management service amounted to approximately 134.1 million sq.m., representing an increase of approximately 1.6% compared with the approximately 132.0 million sq.m. as at 31 December 2021. During the Year, Times Neighborhood continued to build up its capability of expanding business independently and the contracted area for property management that it secured from third parties was approximately 19.85 million sq.m. Meanwhile, the property management projects undertaken by the Group in first- and second-tier cities accounted for 75.0% of the total GFA under the Group’s management. As at 31 December 2022, the Group was undertaking a total of 956 property management projects under contracts in 88 cities (excluding 27 projects of urban public services), and the GFA of properties under the Group’s management totalled approximately 119 million sq.m. In addition, the Group had a total of 108 contracted property management projects which had not yet been handed over to the Group for management, with undelivered GFA of approximately 15.4 million sq.m. The GFA of properties under the Group’s management continued to grow on the back of its good reputation for its quality services in the market,

In terms of its business presence in the markets for property management of various types of properties, the Group integrated brand resources to enable its businesses of property management services for three main types of properties (residential properties, industrial parks and public buildings) to develop in synergy. In its business of residential property management services, the Group consistently increased the density of its property management projects in core city clusters. In terms of the property management for industrial parks, the Group continued to deepen its cooperation with major property owners and started serving six new major property owners under contracts in the Year. In terms of the property management services to public buildings, the Group actively broadened the scope of service.

Through the “technology + service” platform for the whole life cycle, Times Neighborhood’s community value-added services further tapped the market potential of the communities under its management. With its various matrices such as the Neighborhood Services (鄰里邦) APP and mini program, the Group carried out user management, improved user profiling, constantly upgraded its business development models and enriched the scope of its services. In the respect of its renovation business, the Group opened decoration brand image stores to connect offline and online scenarios of spending and facilitate the conversion of website traffic to customers. To actively cope with the downturn in the real estate market, it explored the possibilities of running its own business beyond the existing market. It has developed a number of high-performing shops for complete interior decoration and furnishing. The Group gained insights into the needs of property owners, gave full play to the advantages of property companies’ proximity to property owners, began a business of community-based group buying and provided various paid home-based services. It also designed and provided service packages targeted at various scenarios of daily life to provide a rich selection of quality goods and lifestyle services for property owners and customers. During the Year, the revenue from the community value-added services was RMB378.6 million, and the gross profit margin was 32.9%.

Adhering to “longtermism” and forging ahead with the “4321” development strategy

As to the outlook of the market, the optimization of the government’s anti-pandemic measures has created favourable conditions for a recovery in the economy and industries. The government’s positive attitude and policy changes towards the property sector have also boosted the market’s confidence in the development of the property management sector. It is against this backdrop that the property management sector, which is closely related to people’s livelihood, can expect more opportunities for development. Meanwhile, property companies should also consistently improve the standard of professionalism and service quality while exploring the possibilities of finer market segments for services.

2023 will the year marked by China’s economic recovery. The Group will seize opportunities by adhering to “longtermism” and pressing on with its strategy of “4321” for development to expand its business scale, further develop its value-added services and leverage technologies to enhance both the customer experience and the infrastructure for its internal operation. Under the “4321” development strategy, the Group will further develop the markets of the city clusters in the four key regions of the Greater Bay Area, Yangtze River Delta, Chengdu-Chongqing area and central China; build up its business presence in the markets for property management services to residential properties, industrial parks and public buildings; aim for growth according to its two “three-year plans” for the periods of 2019-2021 and 2022-2024; and build up a “technology + service” platform for the whole life cycle. The Group will work hard to reward property owners, shareholders, employees and business partners with the fruits of quality development.

“JYCIF CareerXplorer” is set to engage, inspire, and activate teen girls through immersive, real-world work experiences

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 29 March 2023 – Jobs in the digital age, and the skills and competencies required to fill them, are transforming at an unprecedented rate. Students who leave school with industry-valued experiences are more likely to pursue higher education and successfully navigate their career journeys, finds a recent study by researchers at Victoria University.

Knowing that teen girls require exposure to career possibilities early on, and to empower them to tap into their talents and pursue their unique interests, Jennifer Yu Cheng Girls Impact Foundation (“JYCGIF”) recently launched the “JYCGIF CareerXplorer Programme (“JYCGIF CareerXplorer”) as part of its flagship 10,000 Girls4Girls Coding⁺ initiative.

Through projects and activities designed in collaboration with leading corporate partners in the region, including Hang Seng Bank, HKSTP, Intuitive Fosun, Smart Farming, and more, JYCGIF CareerXplorer will offer more than 500 teen girls immediate relevance to the real world – helping them map out educational and extracurricular goals leading to their future careers. The JYCGIF CareerXplorer’s real world immersive work experiences, aimed at activating, engaging, and inspiring them, will offer teen girls a head start on achieving their career goals.

Inspiring teen girls to map out their goals to become future ready leaders

JYCGIF CareerXplorer will provide hands-on opportunities for real world learning through interactive exposure to workplaces in high tech, ESG, tourism, retail, finance, entertainment, medicine, and other industries. In its first two events, on 25 March and 1 April 2023, JYCGIF CareerXplorer invited teen girls into the world of MedTech and Smart Agriculture through workshops led by Intuitive Fosun, on the evolution of surgery, and Smart Farming, on smart technology’s role in helping to solve food shortages around the world. Moving forward, we will collaborate with supporting organisations on a series of JYC CareerXplorer workshops aimed at giving students an inside track to the real world of work.

“Our future world will be fueled by today’s talents,” said Jennifer Yu Cheng, Founder of JYCGIF. “We are working to provide the teen girls in our programmes every opportunity to discover their intrinsic talents as well as the resources they need to cultivate them and pursue them in school, university, careers, and beyond.”

Through JYCGIF CareerXplorer, teen girls will engage with professionals from diverse sectors and industries and try their hand at different positions. They will leave with work experience, a taste of entrepreneurship, and industry credentials – but mostly, they will feel inspired and motivated to dream BIG and pursue their greatest ambitions.

JYCGIF’s “10,000 Girls4Girls Coding⁺” programme aims to empower 10,000 teen girls by 2025 by equipping them with digital skills “plus” leadership experiences, university and pre-career preparation, and networking opportunities to lead in a world of innovation.

Looking forward, JYCGIF will continue to work closely with international and local stakeholders to empower teen girls with the education access, tech skills and mindset, and inspiration and confidence to lead in a future world and workplace.

With the launch of AiskBee, enterprises can now streamline their customer engagement processes across multiple channels, tap into new revenue opportunities by cross-selling and upselling, respond to customers in their preferred language, and equip their staff with improved analytical skills for increased productivity.

imBee has developed AiskBee with the aim of building and expanding an enterprise’s Knowledge Base based on contextual information provided. This innovative solution offers a range of advantages for various industries, such as:

• Improve responsiveness, optimise workload management: By integrating with ChatGPT, AiskBee allows businesses to efficiently and accurately manage high-volume and multiple-product inquiries across multiple channels. Users and existing chatbots can use the reply suggestions to provide instant and accurate responses 24/7.

This functionality can significantly improve sales efficiency without increasing risks.
• Answer enquiries in customer-preferred language: AiskBee enhances ChatGPT’s language capabilities by allowing in both understanding and replying in Cantonese, Traditional or Simplified Chinese. As a result, customer service teams can easily communicate with customers in their preferred languages, leading to increased engagement and decreased miscommunication.
• Your personal enterprise AI assistant: Through Content Sharing function, AiskBee can read, comprehend, and learn from various content types, including websites, PDFs, Word documents, and even zipped files, such as product leaflets, user manuals, and FAQs. AiskBee is capable of delivering more precise responses based on a company’s existing brand values and guidelines. As a result, AiskBee can serve as a knowledgeable personal assistant for all enterprise users, supporting them as they engage with customers.

AiskBee represents a new standard in customer engagement and service, serving as the first-ever ChatGPT-powered Enterprise Knowledge Base solution for businesses in Hong Kong.

Agreements signed between KAUST and Chinese partners aim to maximize joint research and development capabilities to stimulate innovation and economic growth.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 29 March 2023 – As a leading institute of research excellence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) joined forces with leading business and academic institutes in Shenzhen, China to sign strategic agreements of cooperation that align strengths in research, development and innovation.

Shenzhen, the third largest city in China, is dubbed the “Silicon Valley of China” for being a major global technology, manufacturing and research hub with many important institutions headquartered there. KAUST President Dr. Tony Chan and a delegation of 10 university representatives met with diverse leaders there to create partnerships that will accelerate knowledge exchange and the commercialization of impactful technologies into innovative, market-ready products that can address global challenges.

KAUST’s assets include its globally recognized faculty and student subject experts; world-class facilities, including the Core Labs and Shaheen III supercomputer — to be the most powerful supercomputer in the Middle East; advanced training and specialized equipment; and network of partnerships with Saudi industries, ministries and academic entities in fields such as telecommunications, semiconducting, energy and environmental engineering, artificial intelligence, materials design, computer science and bioscience, to name a few.

High-innovation, China partners involved in the signings include the Research Institute of Tsinghua University in Shenzhen; Shenzhen Innox Academy; International Digital Economy Academy; X-Institute; Southern University of Science and Technology; Xbotpark; Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology; and Shenzhen Research Institute of Big Data. The objectives of the agreements leverage complementary strengths intended to expand capabilities in areas including but not limited to industrial innovation and exchange; technology transfer and incubation; knowledge sharing of talent and materials; joint laboratories and research and development platforms; and entrepreneurship training.

“Why did we visit Shenzhen?” asked KAUST President Tony Chan. “Shenzhen was a fishing village that has since emerged with a GDP exceeding Seoul, South Korea in just a short four decades. This evolution was made possible by building the world’s most effective and efficient innovation ecosystem. Our visit gave us much insight on how Shenzhen achieved this miracle.”

Cheng Buyi and Zheng Hongbo, members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee who met with President Chan to discuss the cooperative exchange, said that KAUST and Shenzhen have achieved rapid development in the fields of education, technology, and talents, and there is broad space for cooperation. They will continue to consolidate and expand exchanges and cooperation in scientific and technological research, innovation and entrepreneurship, and talent training, and other areas of mutual development.

“In the coming days, we hope to identify mechanisms and platforms to help accelerate innovation at KAUST up to ‘Shenzhen speed’,” Chan added.

The Shenzhen agreements build on another example of thriving Saudi-China exchange as reflected in the growing demographic of Chinese academics at KAUST. Approximately 20% of KAUST’s students, 34% of its postdoctoral researchers, and 9% of its distinguished faculty are from mainland China, with the China alumni group being the biggest and most engaged of all chapters. President Chan met with some 130 China alumni attendees at a special dinner event as part of the larger Schenzhen visit. These research relations are poised to increase as a result of the Shenzhen agreements, and, in turn, will help drive the growth and engagement of Saudi Arabia with China.
