The collection points for the “Asian Games Mailbox” in Macau were set up at famous tourist attractions such as Macau Tower, Ruins of St. Paul’s, Macau St. Dominic’s Church, and The Venetian. The news of the establishment of the “Asian Games Mailbox” in Macau had already spread a few days ago, and on the 20th, the crowd gathered quickly at the event site. The promotional brochures of Hangzhou were also well-received by people from various regions, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of Hangzhou’s history, culture, local customs, and geographical features. At the same time, it raised higher expectations for the Hangzhou Asian Games.

The “Asian Games Mailbox” event in Macau, China, was primarily participated by local residents of Macau, both young and old, with radiant smiles on their faces. They enthusiastically placed their heartfelt wishes for the Hangzhou Asian Games into the mailbox, hoping for them to reach Hangzhou.

One elderly participant in the event, who was in his seventies, told reporters from the “Global Insights,” “After Macau’s return to the motherland, our culture and sports have reached new heights. The Hangzhou Asian Games is not only a sporting event but also a symbol of friendship and unity among all Asian countries. I hope the Hangzhou Asian Games will be successfully held, and our motherland will thrive and prosper.”

For this edition of the Hangzhou Asian Games, the Macau delegation aims to surpass their previous performance of 1 gold, 2 silver, and 2 bronze medals at the Jakarta Asian Games. The Macau delegation has made thorough preparations and will send a team of over 180 athletes to compete in 21 different events.

Pun Weng Kun, the director of the Sports Bureau of the Macau SAR Government, previously stated in an interview, “During this period, the athletes have been training intensively, and we believe they can showcase their abilities. We are confident about the Hangzhou Asian Games. We hope some of our athletes can contend for medals, and our young athletes can gain valuable competition experience.”

A young participant in the event wrote a beautiful wish on a postcard and also expressed to the “Global Insights” that he hopes sports can bring people together and resolve disputes, saying, “I hope athletes from the three regions can achieve excellent results on the field.”

With such wonderful wishes, the Hangzhou Asian Games officially commenced on September 23 at 20:00. Numerous letters filled with encouragement, blessings, and love will continue to arrive, including those from friends in the Hong Kong and Macau regions, overseas Chinese, and heartfelt wishes from foreign friends.

Alibaba Cloud Launches Sustainability Web Application and Virtual Sign Language Interpreter for The Hangzhou Asian Games

Alibaba Cloud Launches Sustainability Web Application and Virtual Sign Language Interpreter for The Hangzhou Asian Games

The AI-powered tools aim to make the first Asian Games on the cloud more sustainable and inclusive

HANGZHOU, CHINA – Media OutReach – 28 September 2023 – In an effort to promote the sustainability and inclusiveness of the Asian Games and the Asian Paralympic Games in Hangzhou, Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, has launched a sustainability web application for athletes, journalists and staff members inside the three Asian Games villages to drive low-carbon behavior, as well as a virtual sign language interpreter to ensure individuals with hearing impairments could better participate in the Games.

“Cloud-based technology helps drive the sustainable and inclusive development of the Asian Games. We want to leverage the power of technology, in collaboration with our partners, to drive more individuals to participate in our efforts to make the Games greener and more accessible to all,” said Jingren Zhou, CTO of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence.

Interactive Web Application to Boost Eco-friendly Behaviors

To help the Hangzhou Asian Games honor its green mission, Alibaba Cloud has launched a sustainable lifestyle web application that helps participants of the Asian Games adopt low-carbon behaviors and reduce their carbon footprint through digital engagement.

The interactive web application rewards athletes, journalists and staff members of the Asian Games with carbon points for making eco-friendly lifestyle choices, such as taking public transport, waste recycling and reducing food waste. Across the Asian Games villages, participants can scan a QR code to record their low-carbon activities in the web application, ranging from opting out of using plastic bags at the supermarkets, to taking a photo of their clean plates at the dining hall in an effort to reduce food waste.

Behind the web application is a system that translates individual low-carbon activities into carbon points. Participants can accumulate the points and redeem for limited-edition Asian Games-themed pins and low-carbon products. The web application has attracted over 310,000 visits to participate in low-carbon activities across the Asian Games villages, and it has recorded over 7 tons of carbon reduction through the activities since the opening of the Asian Games villages on September 16.

“Alibaba Cloud has proven expertise in supporting organizations and sports events’ sustainability initiatives with digital technology. Through the innovative sustainable lifestyle web application, we want to encourage participants of the Asian Games to be more sustainable by recording their daily eco-friendly choices and helping them see the tangible impact of their choices,” said William Xiong, Vice President of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence and General Manager of Enterprise Service Cloud.

Alibaba Cloud tapped its AI-powered carbon management tool Energy Expert to measure and optimize the carbon footprint for the manufacturing of the Hangzhou Asian Games’ mascots. For example, according to the assessment from Energy Expert, one of the three mascots, Congcong, has a cradle-to-gate carbon footprint of 1.59 kg carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e), with the emission from three major sources, including electricity use, packaging and raw materials.

By advising the factories to increase the use of solar power and adopt more eco-friendly designs, the sustainability platform helped slash the product’s carbon footprint by 0.15 kg CO2e per item.

To encourage a wider scale participation, Alibaba Cloud has partnered with 10 companies and brands, spanning across retail, transport to banking, to go sustainable inside the Asian Games villages. Its sustainability platform Energy Expert provided carbon footprint measurement, carbon neutrality calculation and certification services for the pin exchange center and low-carbon stores with energy-saving installations in one of the Asian Games villages.

As part of the sustainability initiatives during the Asian Games, Energy Expert helped Chinese dairy company Yili to identify the sources of the carbon emissions from its store at the Asian Games village and offered optimization plans for its electricity use to reduce its carbon footprint, including increasing the use of solar power and installing energy-saving lights and air-conditioner at the store. It also advised Yili to build a dedicated section for low-carbon products and roll out a recycling machine for milk cartons.

Digital Avatar to Facilitate Communication for Hearing-impaired Individuals

According to the World Health Organization (WHO[1]), currently more than 1.5 billion people (nearly 20% of the global population) live with hearing loss. To foster inclusivity at the Asian Paralympic Games to be held between October 22 to 28, Alibaba Cloud introduced its digital avatar, Xiaomo, serving as a sign language interpreter for individuals with hearing impairment.

The cloud pioneer integrates the digital avatar Xiaomo into a mini-app on payment platform Alipay. The mini-app supports two-way translation between sign language and Chinese spoken language. Users can input voice messages, which the virtual character will translate into sign language for hearing impaired individuals. Conversely, the mini-app can interpret sign language into spoken language, facilitating seamless communication between the hearing and hearing-impaired individuals.

Sign language, with its unique blend of gestures, expressions, and body movements, has its own phonetics, vocabulary, and grammar that differ from spoken language. To accommodate these complexities, Alibaba Cloud compiled a Chinese sign language translation dataset that contains 25,000 signs gathered and annotated from sign language practitioners and hearing-impaired people across the Zhejiang province in China.

Alibaba Cloud leveraged its advanced visual recognition algorithm and its motion tracking capabilities to capture the movements of the hearing impaired and translate sign language into natural language with a state-of-the-art language translation model. To convert natural language into sign language, Alibaba Cloud also developed a deep neural network and a lip movement generation module, enabling the virtual character to perform sign language gestures accurately.

“Through the integration of natural language processing, computer vision and machine learning technologies, we have developed a sign language translation system. This innovation aims to make the Asian Paralympic Games more inclusive and accessible to those with hearing loss,” said Matt Zhang, algorithm engineer at Alibaba Cloud.

The AI sign language interpreter, Xiaomo, was also incorporated into the news channel of the Asian Games to enhance the accessibility of its announcements. During the Asian Paralympic Games, Xiaomo can assist participants with hearing impairments in interacting with volunteers at the venues for various assistance, including asking for directions, seeking medical help, and getting assistance with game viewing.

This result is a testament to Techcombank’s relentless efforts on its 30-year journey of development, which has been fuelled by its strong investment in people.

Great Place To Work® has released its prestigious 2023 Best Workplaces in Asia™ list, based on an extensive survey of 2.1 million employees across Asia and the Middle East. The survey assessed key factors that contribute to exceptional workplaces for all, as well as the impact of workplace programs on 5.9 million employees in the region. Notably, the companies featured on this list have demonstrated remarkable employee engagement, with over 90% of their workforce expressing motivation and a strong desire to remain with the organization for the long haul. This is significantly higher than the industry average of 58%.

Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work, shared: “Best Workplaces in Asia” award demonstrates the value of investing in an organization’s human capital and creating an enabling working environment where everyone can shine and thrive.”

Techcombank’s remarkable journey to this achievement has been fuelled by its substantial investments in talent, a core strategic pillar alongside data and digitalization. The bank’s commitment to nurturing and retaining its workforce is evident through its continuous introduction of innovative initiatives, aimed at inspiring employees to reach their full potential and providing them with competitive compensation packages. Notably, Techcombank has implemented a comprehensive approach to human resource development, aligning salary and welfare structures with individual career roadmaps and job architecture.

Techcombank’s HR policy also offers employees additional benefits that contribute to a positive well-being. For instance, employees are granted the opportunity to enjoy a day off on their birthdays, or able to work an inclusive environment where Techcombank employees can have open dialogues with managers through periodic events such as Tea Talk or Leader Talk, encouraging meaningful interactions and knowledge sharing. One highly valued program is the “An Cu” financial solution, designed to alleviate the financial burden associated with home buying. This initiative has been well-received by employees, as it provides a sense of security and fosters long-term commitment to the bank. By actively engaging employees and addressing their financial needs, Techcombank cultivates a loyal and motivated workforce.

Techcombank’s journey in 2022 and the first half of 2023 marks a significant turning point for the bank as it solidifies its position as a leader in the industry. The bank’s successful “Overseas Talent Roadshows” held in key financial and technology hubs such as Singapore, the UK, the US, and Australia attracted talented Vietnamese individuals who are eager to contribute to their homeland’s digital transformation in the banking sector.

Nikki Dang My Quyen, Techcombank’s Chief Human Resources Officer, said: “Being the first and only Vietnamese bank to be honored in the Asian rankings is truly an important and proud cornerstone in our three-decade journey of further improving our high-calibre workforce, and creating a high-trust working environment. With the many prestigious awards that we got, we are gradually building our reputation as “one of the region’s leading banks.”

This is not the first time the bank has received prestigious regional and international HR awards. Most recently, Techcombank was honored among the “Best Workplaces in Asia 2023 – Best Company to Work for in Asia” for three consecutive years, organized by HRAA. Furthermore, Techcombank has been recognized with esteemed awards such as “Employer of The Year – Banking” and “Achievement in HR Technology” from the renowned Stevie Awards 2023. The achievement of these prestigious HR awards is a testament to Techcombank’s efforts in investing in its talents, and it also uplifts a Vietnamese bank on its quest to be on par with its regional peers.
