90% of investors targeting Hong Kong are actively pursuing repositioning or change-of-use strategies Student accommodation and conversion-led strategies continue to drive Living sector investment activity in Hong Kong 85% of investors across APAC expect to increase Living investment over the next five years HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 September 2026 – Hong Kong ranked fifth among Asia Pacific’s (APAC) preferred Living investment destinations in Cushman & Wakefield’s inaugural APAC Living Investor Survey 2026, with investors increasingly pursuing student accommodation, repositioning and conversion opportunities to gain exposure to the sector’s long-term growth prospects. Among respondents who ranked Hong Kong among their preferred investment destinations, 90% are actively considering repositioning or change-of-use opportunities, highlighting the growing importance of conversion-led strategies in addressing the city’s Living sector supply constraints. Rosanna Tang, Deputy Managing Director & Head of Research, Hong Kong at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “In Hong Kong, recent market transactions show that investors are approaching the Living sector through a value-add lens, particularly through conversion opportunities and student accommodation assets. Since 2021, the market has recorded US$1.63 billion (HK$12.8 billion) of student housing conversion related transactions across 24 deals, including US$739.9 million (HK$5.8 billion) from 10 deals in the first seven months of 2026, involving a broad spectrum of investors. This strong momentum reflects renewed interest from institutional capital, including the return of real estate funds, as investors seek exposure to resilient, education-linked residential assets underpinned by the city’s persistent accommodation shortage and growing student population.” Investor Conviction Remains Strong Across APAC Beyond Hong Kong, investor conviction across the APAC Living sector remains strong, with 85% of investors planning to increase Living investment over the next five years and respondents collectively indicating an estimated US$33.2 billion (HK$260.28 billion) of Living-sector deployment over the same period. The survey found that Living is becoming an increasingly important real estate allocation across the region, supported by resilient demand fundamentals and investor preference for stabilised, income-producing assets. Notably, a third of respondents with diversified real estate portfolios expect Living to account for more than 30% of their real estate portfolio within five years, underscoring the sector’s growing importance in institutional investment strategies. Conal Newland, International Director, Head of Living, APAC at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “Our inaugural APAC Living Investor Survey reinforces the growing institutionalisation of the sector across the region. Despite heightened economic and geopolitical uncertainty, investors continue to view Living as a long-term strategic allocation supported by resilient demand fundamentals, defensive income characteristics and strong structural growth drivers. The fact that 85% of respondents intend to increase Living investment over the next five years highlights how Living is evolving from an alternative investment strategy into a core institutional real estate allocation.” Australia and Japan Lead Investor Preferences Australia/New Zealand and Japan emerged as the region’s most preferred Living investment destinations, ranking clearly ahead of other APAC markets. Japan’s position reflects its scale, liquidity and status as APAC’s most mature institutional multifamily market, while Australia’s housing undersupply and strong rental fundamentals continue to underpin long-term growth potential. Singapore, South Korea and Hong Kong form the next tier of preferred markets, although deployment continues to be constrained by scale, regulation and pricing. Demand for Stabilised Assets Outpaces Supply The survey also found that investors are increasingly favouring stabilised, income-producing and defensive Living assets. Recent market volatility has prompted 50% of respondents to report a greater preference for stabilised assets, yet the availability of standing institutional-grade stock remains limited across much of APAC. This supply-demand imbalance is increasingly pushing investors towards alternative routes to market. Nearly three-quarters (73%) of respondents are actively considering repositioning or change-of-use strategies, while joint ventures emerged as the most likely deal structure over the next one to three years. Office and hotel conversions are also becoming an increasingly important source of Living supply in markets such as Singapore and Hong Kong. Josh Rose-Nokes, Director, Living Research, APAC at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “What stands out is not a shortage of capital, but a shortage of investable stock. Investors increasingly want stabilised, income-producing Living assets, yet much of APAC lacks sufficient institutional-grade product to satisfy that demand. This mismatch is driving greater competition for stabilised assets and accelerating interest in repositioning, conversions and partnership-led deployment strategies.” The gap between buyer and seller expectations was identified as the leading investment challenge by 44% of respondents, followed by development viability at 29%. Limited transaction evidence and inconsistent market transparency were also highlighted as barriers to pricing assets accurately and deploying capital efficiently. About the Survey The inaugural APAC Living Investor Survey 2026 draws on insights from institutional investors, fund managers, listed property groups and specialist Living-sector participants across APAC, representing approximately 224,000 units or beds. For the purposes of this survey, diversified respondents refer to investors with exposure across multiple real estate sectors and exclude Living-only specialists. The survey was fielded in Q2 2026 during the Middle East hostilities and provides insights into investor sentiment, capital allocation trends and investment priorities across the APAC Living sector. Estimated five-year capital deployment figures were derived from banded responses using midpoints. For more information and to download the report, please click here.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 September 2026 – JustCo Holdings Limited (“JustCo” or the “Company”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), a leading Singapore-grown flexible workspace operator with an extensive Asia Pacific network, today announced the launch of JustCo Raffles City Tower, its 24th centre in Singapore and latest move to expand its footprint in the City Hall precinct. Located across Levels 9 and 10 of Raffles City Tower, the new centre spans approximately 16,000 sq ft and can accommodate more than 300 members. The expansion comes as demand for premium flexible workspace in prime locations continues to rise, with businesses increasingly prioritising hybrid-work flexibility over long-term fixed leases. Flexible workspace accounted for 5.5% of Singapore’s total office stock as of 1H2026, reflecting strong headroom for growth in the office landscape. (CBRE) “Businesses today are much more deliberate about where they locate their teams. They want the flexibility of a managed workspace, but they are not willing to compromise on the quality of the address, connectivity or the experience they offer their employees,” said Kong Wan Long, Chief Commercial Officer, JustCo. “Raffles City Tower responds to that demand and gives us an important presence in the downtown business district, where we see continued opportunity to serve both established businesses and growing teams.” A Landmark Address Backing Business Growth The new centre is located within Raffles City, an integrated development in the heart of Singapore’s Civic District, combining Grade-A offices with retail, hospitality and convention facilities. As part of ongoing enhancements, Raffles City Tower is being refreshed with upgraded key touchpoints, improved wayfinding and new end-of-trip facilities. The addition reflects JustCo’s strategy of anchoring its premium centres in landmark, high-connectivity locations. The office tower offers expansive city views, generous natural light, a fully sheltered drop-off point and concierge services, providing a convenient and professional setting for employees, clients and visitors. JustCo Raffles City Tower sits directly above City Hall MRT Interchange, serving the North-South and East-West Lines, with seamless sheltered connectivity to Esplanade MRT on the Circle Line. Connectivity has become an increasingly important consideration in JustCo’s site selection strategy as businesses place greater emphasis on commute convenience when making return-to-office decisions. Design Built Around How Businesses Actually Work Today Beyond the address, the centre’s design draws on the site’s educational heritage as the former home of Raffles Institution, reinterpreting elements of the traditional classroom for the contemporary workplace. The concept takes cues from environments built around exchange, shared thinking and development, translating these qualities through natural materials, layered textures and refined detailing that support focused work and collaboration. This reflects a broader shift among JustCo’s clients: as companies invest more in employee learning, workshops and cross-team collaboration, they are seeking environments built for knowledge-sharing, not just desks. JustCo Raffles City Tower offers private offices, dedicated workspaces, and meeting and collaboration areas, giving businesses the flexibility to scale their footprint as needs change. A Strategic Addition to JustCo’s Singapore Growing Network JustCo Raffles City Tower adds to the company’s growing portfolio of Singapore locations, which includes the THE COLLECTIVE Labrador Tower, which opened in January this year, and upcoming centres at The Octagon by the boring office, as well as JustCo Place on Orchard Road. JustCo Place will see the Group expand its platform beyond flexible workspaces into coliving as an extension of an integrated service offering to our coworking customers. The new coliving project is a management contract while the coworking centre is already 100% occupied. Businesses can explore flexible workspace solutions at JustCo Raffles City Tower via the JustCo website Across Asia Pacific, the Group continues to deepen its footprint across key growth markets. Since the start of the year, the Group has opened locations in Bengaluru, Gurugram, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Mumbai, Singapore, Taipei and Seoul. In the coming months, there will be additional openings in Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, reinforcing its disciplined expansion strategy and regional growth momentum.

The event featured over 130 business matching sessions and witnessed the signing of more than 80 agreements, covering key areas such as high technology, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and big health, conventions and exhibitions (MICE), tourism, modern finance, and industry-academia-research collaboration. The event gathered over 350 distinguished guests, including Sam Hou Fai, Chief Executive of the MSAR; Gan Siow Huang, Minister of State, Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Ministry of Trade and Industry; representatives from the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Singapore; members of the MSAR Government delegation; delegates from the Macao-Hengqin and Mainland China economic, trade, and tourism delegation; as well as representatives from Singapore’s political, business, cultural, tourism, and trade association sectors. Sam Hou Fai stated that last June, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Singapore, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong made a successful visit to China. President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Wong jointly charted the course for the stable and healthy development of China-Singapore relations in this new phase. He noted that leading the delegation to Singapore this time is both a concrete action to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of both countries, and a key initiative for Macao to leverage its unique advantages, deepen and expand exchanges and cooperation with Singapore, and inject new momentum into China-Singapore relations. This year marks the inaugural year of China’s “15th Five-Year Plan,” and to ensure seamless alignment and coordination, the Macao SAR Government recently promulgated the “Third Five-Year Development Plan for the Economic and Social Development of the Macao Special Administrative Region (2026-2030).” The key strategic deployments of the Plan focus on driving diversified economic development on a solid footing, with four major engineering projects and government-guided funds serving as the primary leverage, while deepening Macao-Hengqin integration to advance the high-quality development of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Co-operation Zone in Hengqin. Furthermore, the Plan aims to accelerate urban renewal to build a beautiful and smart Macao, alongside actively participating in the high-quality development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) to position Macao as a vital bridgehead for the nation’s high-level opening-up and an essential window for mutual learning and exchanges between Chinese and Western civilizations. Concurrently, Macao will actively establish a convenient and highly efficient public service system, fostering a world-class, market-oriented, law-based, and internationalized business environment to earnestly protect the legitimate rights and interests of all market entities and investors, thereby offering foreign investors a more attractive and reliable investment climate. Gan Siow Huang remarked that Macao and Singapore have long maintained close and friendly relations, achieving fruitful cooperation in fields such as economy, trade, tourism, education, and cultural exchanges. Looking ahead, both sides can leverage their complementary strengths to further deepen cooperation in tourism and urban development, working together to seize new opportunities for regional development and economic growth. Both Singapore and Macao have established internationally renowned tourism industries and destination brands, allowing the two regions to draw on each other’s experiences in crafting premium visitor experiences, developing integrated tourism products, and building vibrant, highly livable cities. Singapore looks forward to sharing practical experiences in tourism industry development with Macao and fostering productive partnerships between their respective business sectors. Furthermore, as enterprises in both regions value their domestic markets while increasingly casting their eyes on broader overseas opportunities, Singapore and Macao can serve as mutually trusted partners to bridge the markets of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and Southeast Asia, supporting businesses from both sides in tapping into new opportunities and constructing robust cross-regional networks. At the same time, by pooling corporate strengths, both sides can carve out new avenues of growth in key economic sectors such as digitalization, innovation, sustainable development, and eldercare services.

The future of AI chips is increasingly being shaped by packaging // With its HiPIMS product line, TRUMPF is addressing a key challenge facing the semiconductor industry: the reliable coating of highly complex glass substrates for the next generation of high-performance AI processors. DITZINGEN, GERMANY / TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 September 2026 – The race for more powerful AI chips is increasingly shifting to packaging. To pack more computing power into a smaller space in the future, industry leaders are therefore investing in new substrate technologies such as glass substrates. These enable more functions to be integrated into a smaller space and allow data to be transmitted faster and more efficiently within the chip. To achieve this, however, manufacturers must drill millions of microscopic holes into the glass and then coat them with conductive material. Millions of through-holes must be error-free TRUMPF has now developed the first industrial process of its kind that enables the production of such structures with high quality and reproducible results. With its HiPIMS products, the high-tech company is supporting the semiconductor industry in bringing glass substrates for the next generation of high-performance AI processors to series production. “The computing power of modern AI chips is increasing rapidly. As a result, the demand for packaging is also growing. Through-glass vias are considered a promising approach for future generations of chips. However, it is crucial that millions of extremely fine structures can be reliably coated. This is exactly where our HiPIMS technology comes into play,” says Piotr Lach, Head of Next Technology Demands at TRUMPF Elektronik. The challenge: The holes in the glass substrates are both very deep and very narrow. Even a small number of incorrectly coated through-vias can render an entire glass panel unusable. For mass production, therefore, reliable processes, consistent results, and a high yield of functional components are crucial. TRUMPF’s technology improves process stability and increases production yield compared to conventional methods. This enables TRUMPF to help chip manufacturers economically transition new packaging concepts for AI applications into series production. HiPIMS products precisely direct charged particles into deep structures HiPIMS is a particularly high-performance coating process. TRUMPF’s industrially manufactured HiPIMS generators produce a highly ionized plasma with a higher proportion of electrically charged particles than conventional methods. These ions can be precisely controlled using additional electric and magnetic fields and directed into deep, narrow structures. This results in a significantly more uniform coating, even in deep trenches. HiPIMS generates significantly higher ionization, leading to a higher density of deposited molecules. “This improves the quality of the coating. The technology helps increase manufacturing yield and lays the foundation for cost-effective mass production of future AI chips,” says Lach. A Pioneer in the Industry TRUMPF has many years of experience with HiPIMS technologies in industrial production environments. The company launched its first HiPIMS solutions for other application areas many years ago and has continuously refined the technology. Today, this high-tech company has extensive experience gained from real-world manufacturing processes. “For our customers, it’s not just about technological performance. What matters most is that processes can be scaled and replicated consistently worldwide. With our industrialization expertise and technological lead, we support leading chip manufacturers in bringing advanced packaging technologies into mass production quickly and reliably,” says Lach. TRUMPF covers several key technologies for advanced packaging In addition to HiPIMS, TRUMPF offers other technologies for advanced packaging. These include ultrashort-pulse lasers for the production of through-glass vias, as well as plasma power supplies for coating and etching processes in semiconductor manufacturing. Together, these technologies form an important foundation for the production of high-performance chips for artificial intelligence, data centers, and high-performance computers.
