SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 January 2025 – Dou Yee Enterprises, a prominent global player in high-tech manufacturing and precision engineering, has entered into a strategic partnership with BIOVIA a leader in scientific software solutions. Through this collaboration, Dou Yee will serve as a reseller of BIOVIA Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) software solutions across Southeast Asia. This propelled Dou Yee’s expansion into the rapidly growing life sciences, healthcare, and research sectors in the region, leveraging BIOVIA’s powerful software solutions to meet the evolving needs of laboratories and research institutions. Partnership BIOVIA with DOUYEE Why Southeast Asia is the Right Market for LIMS and ELN Solutions Southeast Asia, with its burgeoning life sciences and pharmaceutical industries, is increasingly becoming a hotspot for scientific innovation. As countries in the region ramp up their investments in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and biotech research, there is a clear and growing demand for sophisticated laboratory management systems that can manage complex data, ensure compliance, and support cutting-edge research. Here are a few reasons why Southeast Asia presents an ideal market for the introduction of BIOVIA’s LIMS and ELN solutions: 1. Rapid Growth in Life Sciences and Biotech Southeast Asia is experiencing significant growth in the life sciences and biotech sectors. Countries like Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia are becoming global hubs for pharmaceutical development, biotechnology, and medical research. With this growth comes an increasing need for software solutions that can help laboratories efficiently manage data, ensure regulatory compliance, and enhance productivity. 2. Digital Transformation in Laboratories As laboratories across Southeast Asia modernize their operations, there is a shift from traditional paper-based record-keeping to digital systems that enhance efficiency and accuracy. The adoption of LIMS and ELN systems helps help laboratories digitize workflows, improving collaboration, data integrity, and traceability, which are crucial for innovation in scientific research. 3. Regulatory Compliance and Data Integrity Regulatory requirements across Southeast Asia are becoming more stringent, particularly in the pharmaceutical, medical device, and research sectors. Software solutions that offer robust data security, audit trails, and compliance features—like BIOVIA LIMS and ELN—are essential for meeting local and international regulatory standards such as GxP (Good Laboratory Practice), FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and ISO 17025. 4. Collaboration in Scientific Research Many Southeast Asian countries are investing in regional research and development collaborations, particularly in the fields of pharmaceuticals, genetics, and healthcare. ELN systems facilitate real-time collaboration among researchers, enabling teams across different locations to work together seamlessly, share data, and maintain accurate records. The Power of BIOVIA’s LIMS and ELN Software Solutions BIOVIA’s LIMS and ELN software solutions are designed to help laboratories streamline their operations, improve data management, and enhance regulatory compliance. As Dou Yee begins reselling these solutions in Southeast Asia, customers in the region can look forward to the following benefits: 1. Enhanced Efficiency and Automation BIOVIA’s LIMS allows laboratories to automate routine tasks such as sample tracking, test management, and result analysis. This not only reduces the risk of human error but also increases throughput, enabling labs to manage higher volumes of data with greater efficiency. 2. Improved Data Integrity and Compliance LIMS and ELN solutions from BIOVIA ensure that all data is recorded, stored, and shared in a secure and compliant manner. This is particularly important in regulated industries where maintaining an audit trail and adhering to data integrity standards is critical. BIOVIA’s solutions comply with global regulations such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 17025, and GMP, ensuring that laboratories in Southeast Asia can meet both local and international compliance requirements. 3. Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing ELNs promote collaboration among research teams by providing a centralized, digital repository for experimental data, notes, and findings. This digital platform ensures that data is easily accessible to all authorized users, making it easier for researchers in Southeast Asia to work together on multi-disciplinary and cross-border projects. 4. Scalability and Flexibility BIOVIA’s LIMS and ELN software solutions are scalable and can be customized to fit the needs of a wide range of laboratories, from small research labs to large-scale pharmaceutical companies. This flexibility ensures that organizations of all sizes can benefit from the software’s powerful capabilities. 5. Real-Time Analytics and Reporting With built-in data analytics and reporting tools, BIOVIA’s solutions help laboratories gain deeper insights into their operations. Real-time dashboards, customizable reports, and data visualization tools enable laboratory managers and researchers to make data-driven decisions that improve outcomes and streamline workflows. Dou Yee’s Role as a Reseller As part of its new role as a reseller for BIOVIA solution in Southeast Asia, Dou Yee Enterprises will focus on several key initiatives to drive adoption and support customers in the region: 1. Marketing and Awareness Campaigns Dou Yee will collaborate with BIOVIA to launch marketing campaigns and conduct outreach activities such as webinars, seminars, and workshops aimed at educating potential customers about the benefits of LIMS and ELN systems. These efforts will focus on the growing need for digital solutions in laboratories across Southeast Asia. 2. Regional Partnerships and Collaborations Dou Yee will actively engage with regional laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, and universities to introduce BIOVIA’s software solutions. The company will also explore strategic collaborations with other technology providers to offer integrated solutions that meet the diverse needs of the market. 3. Customer Feedback and Customization Dou Yee’s customer-focused approach will ensure that feedback from local clients is integrated into product development and support offerings. This will help ensure that BIOVIA’s LIMS and ELN solutions remain adaptable to the unique requirements of Southeast Asian laboratories. Conclusion Dou Yee Enterprises’ partnership with BIOVIA to resell LIMS and ELN software solutions in Southeast Asia is a significant step in both companies’ efforts to drive innovation and digital transformation in the region’s laboratory and research sectors. With Dou Yee’s established presence in the region and BIOVIA’s world-class software, this partnership is well-positioned to help laboratories in Southeast Asia enhance operational efficiency, improve data integrity, and ensure compliance with regulatory Hashtag: #limssolutions #biovia #douyee #elnsolutions https://douyeebiomed.com/https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/dou-yee-enterprises-dybiohttps://www.facebook.com/douyeebio/

From achieving 80,000 orders to building a multi-million enterprise, two Malaysians share their inspiring journeys of resilience and growth KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA- Media OutReach Newswire – 27 January 2025 – With the Chinese New Year approaching, local entrepreneurs Wong from Sunspin and Bryan from FunFun.inShop highlight how e-commerce has become a valuable tool for small businesses to grow and adapt. Their journeys showcase the resilience, values, and determination that define Malaysia’s innovative spirit, offering timeless inspiration for anyone striving to overcome challenges and achieve meaningful growth. Wong Yung Ming and Lee Sze Yee launched their business to promote healthier eating habits for Malaysian Sunspin’s journey to healthier living, balanced family life, and business success Husband-and-wife team Wong Yung Ming and Lee Sze Yee founded Sunspin in 2020 with a mission to make Konjac noodles and Black Garlic products more accessible to families like their own. As parents of two young children, the couple was inspired to promote healthier eating habits while building a stable future for their family. Wong and Lee started their small business from their Johor home, selling to a small local network on a part-time basis. Their move into e-commerce transformed their business as they leveraged Shopee’s ecosystem, bringing nutritious products to families across Malaysia. “We started engaging with Shopee Affiliates in 2024 and these local KOLs have supported us by driving new and repeat buyers to our store. In the last year alone, we consistently achieved a ninefold increase in daily orders during campaign days, thanks to these affiliates. We’re overwhelmed to share that we have sold over 80,000 items since joining Shopee, reflecting the trust families place in our products,” shared Wong, who left his IT career in early 2024 to focus on Sunspin full-time. Their growth was further supported by the ‘Kempen Tani by Shopee’, a program aimed at empowering agropreneurs with the tools and resources to succeed in the digital economy. The couple attended ShopeeXpert workshops, took part in Shopee Live demos, and gained practical tips on increasing traffic and sales on the platform. This Chinese New Year, the couple shared that true success means growing their business while enjoying quality time with their children. “Expanding our business while prioritising family has always been our goal. It’s rewarding to see how our efforts have brought both stability and precious moments with our family,” he shared. From a small home experiment to FunFun.inShop’s multi-million Ringgit business Before 2021, Bryan Ng, the director of FunFun.inShop, worked at a logistics company where he met several Shopee sellers who shared their experiences of building online businesses. “Hearing their stories gave me the confidence to give it a try myself,” Bryan recalls. During the Movement Control Order (MCO), he started small by uploading a few products to Shopee from his home. Orders started rolling in—at one point, up to 200 to 300 a day. “It was an eye-opener for me. What started as a small experiment quickly turned into something much bigger,” he shares. By reinvesting profits gradually and staying focused on customer needs, Bryan scaled his small venture into a multi-million ringgit business. FunFun.inShop has experienced incredible growth, with sales increasing by 260% to over RM4 million in 2024 alone. Bryan credits this success to a combination of understanding market trends, maintaining competitive pricing, and using Shopee’s features like Shopee ads, livestreams, and campaigns to boost visibility and reach more customers. “These tools have been essential for helping us stay competitive and grow steadily,” he says. What began as a small home-based operation has grown into a thriving business that’s making a difference. “I started with just a handful of products, and now we’ve built something that supports so many people,” Bryan reflects. Shopee Live has been especially impactful, allowing Bryan to interact directly with customers, showcase his products, and build lasting relationships. “This journey has changed my life for the better, and I’m so grateful for the platform that made it all possible,” he says with pride. Entrepreneurs like Wong from Sunspin and Bryan from FunFun.inShop are proof of how e-commerce takes small ventures and transforms them into thriving businesses. Platforms such as Shopee, which celebrates its 10th year in Malaysia, are part of this development, providing tools and opportunities for businesses to navigate the evolving economy. As Malaysia grows into a leading Southeast Asian digital hub, the stories of entrepreneurs like Wong and Bryan reflect a broader shift. With continued innovation and support, e-commerce is set to remain a cornerstone of Malaysia’s economic resilience, enabling small businesses to thrive while contributing significantly to the local economy.

Banks should prioritise cost optimisation, data governance, and digital transformation to build a foundation for long-term growth HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 January 2025 – Hong Kong’s banking sector showed signs of recovery in 2024 after a prolonged period of challenges. This positive trend is expected to continue in 2025, with the pace of US rate cuts expected to be slower than many forecasts. KPMG’s latest report, the Hong Kong Banking Outlook 2025, predicts substantial opportunities for banks that are willing to adapt and innovate, with technologies like Generative AI and virtual assets set to transform operating models. The report provides insights and predictions from KPMG experts regarding the outlook for Hong Kong and highlights key themes for banks to focus on this year, including embracing emerging technologies, staying abreast of ESG trends and keeping pace with regulatory developments. Paul McSheaffrey, Senior Banking Partner, Hong Kong, KPMG China, says: “2024 marked an improvement for Hong Kong’s banking sector, with signs of recovery emerging after a prolonged period of challenges. Driven by policy shifts in the Chinese Mainland, these developments have laid the groundwork for cautious optimism entering 2025. Some green shoots of recovery have been seen, including an uptick in funds raised on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and positive policy measures in the Chinese Mainland aimed at stimulating consumer demand. Thus, we are more optimistic about the prospects of the Hong Kong banking sector during the year.” For retail and commercial banks, KPMG believes that the pace of interest rate reductions will be slower than many forecasts suggest, which will help banks preserve their margins. For investment banks, the positive policy measures in China are expected to enhance consumer sentiment, thereby fostering capital raising and M&A activity in China, ultimately benefiting Hong Kong. Jianing Song, Head of Banking and Capital Markets, Hong Kong, KPMG China, says: “As we enter 2025, the environment faced by banks is becoming increasingly complex. However, we believe that this year will bring substantial opportunities for banks willing to adapt and innovate. Emerging technologies, such as Generative AI and virtual assets, have the potential to transform operating models. Through cost optimization, data governance, and digital transformation, banks can navigate their current challenges and build a foundation for long-term growth.” Resilience remains a key regulatory focus Resilience against cyber fraud and financial crime will remain a top priority in 2025 as losses experienced by banks and customers continue to make headlines. Meeting regulatory expectations will be crucial, with a strong focus on implementing existing regulations and new resilience requirements. AI adoption will be become a sector-wide topic in financial crime over the next two years, as authorised institutions and regulators gear up to tackle risks and meet regulatory expectations. KPMG also expects Hong Kong regulators to launch initiatives to further encourage the use of distributed ledger technology (DLT) in the banking industry. This is driven by the need to build resilience against the operational risks associated with traditional settlement and payment infrastructure. It also addresses the need for banks to adapt their business models in the face of competition from new Fintech market entrants and ‘digital natives’. Strategic cost optimisation Geopolitical uncertainty, rising operational expenses and increasing regulatory requirements mean that manging costs will remain a focus in the banking sector. Instead of implementing broad cost-cutting measures, KPMG expects banks to adopt a more strategic approach centered on cost optimization. This involves identifying the root causes of inefficiency and implementing targeted corrective interventions. Automation can be an effective tool in this process, addressing latent inefficiency in core processes across front, middle, and back office. This can lead to increased productivity, reduced cost to serve, an enhanced customer experience and ultimately, a stronger top line. Digital transformation trends The pace of digital transformation in Hong Kong’s banking sector is expected to accelerate in 2025. More than one-third of financial institutions are already integrating Generative AI, supported by government initiatives such as the HKMA’s Generative AI Sandbox. Virtual assets have also been ranking high on the digital transformation agenda for banks, with initiatives like HKEX’s Virtual Asset Index Series and HKMA’s Project Ensemble Sandbox accelerating Hong Kong’s tokenisation market development. KPMG expects policy support to continue in this area throughout 2025. In 2025, Hong Kong banks should prioritise digitising their operations by leveraging resources such as Fintech Connect; expanding their digital-savvy workforce through talent acquisition and upskilling; and future-proofing their digital asset and Generative AI readiness by establishing a robust data governance framework.

First-ever corporation to top Corporate Knights Global 100 twice 14th consecutive year in Global 100 index, 7th top 10 ranking Follows strong 2024 performance in other key ESG ratings HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 January 2025 – Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has been named the World’s Most Sustainable Corporation 2025 by Corporate Knights and is the only company to rank first in the Global 100 twice. Schneider Electric previously topped this annual list of the most sustainable publicly listed companies, generating annual revenues of over $1bn in 2021. This unique achievement underlines Schneider’s long-standing commitment and holistic approach to delivering the best environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance possible. “For many years now, sustainability has been at the heart of what Schneider Electric does. For an IMPACT company it’s more than just a corporate goal, it’s the driving force that shapes our business decisions and inspires our employees,” said Olivier Blum, Schneider Electric’s Chief Executive Officer. “This second title as the World’s Most Sustainable Corporation from Corporate Knights, alongside other key ESG recognitions, is testimony to the valuable, long-term positive impact we have.” This year, Schneider Electric’s number one position reflects the company’s leadership in sustainable development practices, such as the gender diversity of its executives and board directors, and its innovative solutions to facilitate energy efficiency, electrification and decarbonization. Schneider also obtained strong scores for efforts to decouple its energy consumption and carbon emissions from its business growth, and its strong investment in sustainable research and development. Corporate Knights also called out the link between executive pay incentives and Schneider Electric’s sustainability performance and ESG ratings. “Schneider Electric’s position at the top of the Global 100 index is remarkable. No other company has accomplished this twice,” said Toby Heaps, Corporate Knights’ CEO. “This success stems from Schneider’s broad impact that goes beyond its own sustainability efforts.

He added that Hong Kong is actively embracing financial innovation, including the development of digital assets, with appropriate regulations in place to promote the responsible and sustainable growth. In another thematic discussion, organised by the Giving to Amplify Earth Action launched by the WEF, the Financial Secretary noted that Hong Kong, as an international financial centre, plays to its strengths as a “super-connector” and “super value-adder” in promoting investment in climate projects. Hong Kong provides financial support for green and transition projects through its comprehensive financial services. It also seeks to facilitate co-operation among the public, private and philanthropic sectors. In support of the city’s efforts to develop trade relations with “Global South” countries, Mr Chan held bilateral discussions with the Minister of Investment of Saudi Arabia, Khalid Al-Falih, and the Minister of Finance of Egypt, Ahmed Kouchouk, and invited them to lead business delegations to Hong Kong to explore mutually beneficial co-operation opportunities. Mr Chan also met with the President and the Chief Executive Officer of Franklin Templeton, Jenny Johnson, to discuss the business expansion plans of the international fund group in the region. A day earlier (January 22), Mr Chan met representatives from Coinbase, a United States cryptocurrency exchange platform, to learn about the company’s latest business development and exchange views on global trends and regulatory policies concerning digital assets. Mr Chan also met with senior management from insurance provider Swiss Re, where he outlined Hong Kong’s initiatives to strengthen its role as an international risk management centre, including the development of innovative products such as catastrophe bonds. He emphasised that Hong Kong would continue to encourage businesses worldwide engaged in infrastructure and investment projects to leverage the city for comprehensive risk management, adding that Hong Kong seeks to attract more domestic and international companies to establish captive insurance companies in the city. Other bilateral meeting included those with the Minister of Finance of Qatar, Ali bin Ahmed Al-Kuwari, and the State Secretary for International Finance, Federal Department of Finance of Switzerland, Daniela Stoffel, respectively. Exchanges focused on the latest global economic and financial landscapes and ways to enhance co-operation between Hong Kong and both economies in trade, financial services and infrastructure.

He added that Hong Kong valued its participation in the WEF Annual Meeting, which provides an opportunity to showcase the city’s unique advantages under the “one country, two systems” principle and better understand international trends, exchange views with various economic and sectoral representatives, and present Hong Kong’s perspectives.

WASHINGTON, DC and ULAANBAATAR, MONGOLIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 January 2025 – The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) has received approval from its Board of Directors on a $150 million landmark financing to the Mongolian Mortgage Corporation (MIK), advised by Delphos, the global financial advisory firm. This transformative deal will see the DFC acquire $150 million of mortgage-backed securities, managed by MIK, enabling local commercial banks to create new and affordable mortgages. The ultimate goal is to increase homeownership opportunities for thousands of low—and middle-income families in Mongolia. The approval represents the largest Mongolian financing in the history of the DFC, and its predecessor agency OPIC. Additionally, the transaction marks a significant leap forward in MIK’s promotion of housing affordability and improving living standards for Mongolians, many of whom reside in informal housing settlements. The financing aligns with broader efforts to address Mongolia’s urban challenges. Ulaanbaatar, the country’s capital, is home to close to 50% of Mongolia’s rapidly growing population, 60% of which still reside in informal settlements lacking basic infrastructure and access to social services. Mongolia’s urban transformation is the perfect time to invest in housing development. Delphos is committed to creating a meaningful impact at this crucial juncture, aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goal 11, which aims to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. Affordable mortgages will help transition many families into formal housing, accelerating urban development and fostering economic stability. Delphos served as the exclusive advisor on this transaction. Delphos will continue to support MIK through to the transaction’s financial close. Delphos’ Chairman and CEO, Bart Turtelboom, noted that “MIK is a systemically important financial institution within Mongolia. We are proud to support our client and appreciate their trust. We are excited to support Mongolia’s robust financial services industry and urban development, helping to create a meaningful impact through this deal. Gantulga Badamkhatan, CEO of MIK added: “We are excited to partner with US DFC on this transformative financing. This landmark transaction with its innovative structure will pave the way to catalyzing private sector capital into Mongolian mortgage market. We appreciate Delphos’ market-leading advisory work in structuring and arranging the transaction on our behalf. This financing will be pivotal for our continued growth and impact, and we look forward to reaching financial close soon.” The partnership reaffirms DFC’s commitment to fostering inclusive economic development and highlights Mongolia’s potential as an emerging market for impactful investments. For Delphos, the transaction reinforces its position as a trusted advisor in mobilizing capital for frontier markets. This deal underscores Delphos’ expertise in private emerging markets, especially for financial institutions. This is also Delphos’ latest successful transaction in Mongolia. Since 2022, Delphos has advised Bogd Bank on nearly USD 40M in multiple international financings. NOTES To Editors: Delphos has served as the exclusive financial advisor on the deal, leading all aspects, from initial market distribution to financial structuring and negotiations. This is Delphos’ second financial services deal in Mongolia. Since 2022,, Delphos has arranged nearly USD 40M in international financings for Bogd Bank. Delphos will continue to support the Mongolian Mortgage Corporation until its financial close this quarter.
