LHN Energy Launches Solar Carport at Goldhill Plaza to Promote Renewable Energy in Urban Spaces

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 August 2025 – LHN Energy Resources, a leading provider of renewable energy solutions, is proud to announce the completion of solar carport installation at Goldhill Plaza’s open space car park. This new initiative, part of a strategic collaboration with LHN Parking, aims to provide a sustainable energy solution while optimising underutilised space in Singapore’s urban landscape. LHN Energy Launches Solar Carport at Goldhill Plaza to Promote Renewable Energy in Urban Spaces Turning Underutilised Space into Sustainable Energy Solutions In a land-scarce city like Singapore, businesses often grapple with the challenge of finding suitable spaces for solar energy installations. Rooftop space is frequently limited or already occupied, and large-scale solar farms are often unfeasible in densely built environments. At the same time, the rising cost of traditional energy sources and the need to meet sustainability goals have placed greater pressure on companies to adopt renewable energy alternatives. The new solar carport installation at Goldhill Plaza addresses these challenges head-on. By transforming an open-air car park into a productive energy site, this project turns underutilised space into a dual-function solution, generating renewable energy while providing shaded, weather-protected parking. The solar panels on the carport structure will produce clean power to support on-site energy consumption, reducing both reliance on the grid and overall operational costs for the property. Not only does this project support businesses by reducing energy expenses, but it also aligns with Singapore’s broader commitment to green energy adoption. It serves as a prime example of how multi-functional infrastructure can address urban sustainability goals. Looking Towards the Future: Expanding Solar Carports Across Singapore Building on the success of the Goldhill Plaza installation, LHN Energy is setting its sights on a broader rollout of solar carports throughout Singapore. As part of its ongoing collaboration with LHN Parking, the company plans to introduce similar solar-integrated structures in other open-air carparks across the island. This forward-thinking initiative reflects LHN Energy’s continued commitment to reshaping urban infrastructure through renewable energy. By combining energy generation with functional urban design, future solar carport projects will not only optimise land use but also support Singapore’s transition to a low-carbon economy. As demand grows for eco-conscious property upgrades and energy-efficient solutions, LHN Energy aims to lead the way in delivering smart, sustainable infrastructure that serves both environmental and operational needs. The expansion of solar carports is more than a business strategy, it’s a step towards a cleaner, more resilient city for all.

Malaysia’s US$43 Billion Potential Asset Tokenisation Opportunity

Project Juara charts way forward for all stakeholders to capture tokenisation opportunities and drive financial transformation in Malaysia. KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 August 2025 – Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad (“Kenanga Group“), Saison Capital Pte Ltd, Helicap Labs Pte Ltd (“HELIX“) and Satori Research Ltd, today announced the release of a white paper that offers insights into the asset tokenisation industry’s potential and its significance in driving financial transformation in Malaysia. Titled Project Juara: Malaysia’s Asset Tokenisation Opportunity (“Project Juara“) and authored by all four parties, it estimates that Malaysia’s tokenised asset market could reach US$43 billion by 2030, spanning regulated products such as unit trusts, bonds and sukuk. From left: Ranjit Singh Gill, Director, Head of Product & Market Development, Kenanga Investors Berhad (“Kenanga Investors”); Datuk Wira Ismitz Matthew De Alwis, Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer, Kenanga Investors; Datuk Chay Wai Leong, Group Managing Director, Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad; Qin En Looi, Partner, Saison Capital Pte Ltd; Teong Hng, Co-Founder & CEO, Satori Research Ltd; and Jitendra Singh Jaitawat, Co-Founder & CEO, Helicap Labs Pte Ltd. Project Juara aligns with national interest, particularly in light of the Malaysian Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s remarks in April 2025 that “with the right steps, Malaysia can position itself at the forefront of this transformation”, after discussions on the nation’s potential as a major hub for digital assets and the blockchain industry. Against this backdrop, Project Juara charts a way towards building a robust digital asset ecosystem using a call to action and whole-of-nation approach. Traditional financial institutions can act as early adopters and counterparties to asset owners, who in turn create credible investment-worthy products. Equally important are infrastructure providers, government agencies and community leaders whose collective efforts can help shape the future of Malaysia’s digital economy to make investing inclusive, equitable and empowering for every Malaysian. The report encourages all parties to recognise that each has a distinct yet interdependent role in creating a progressive capital market landscape. This report highlights the scale of what is possible if we take the right steps today. While digitalisation has enhanced customer interfaces and experience, tokenisation offers a deeper structural reform by reshaping how financial assets are issued, traded and governed. As such, Project Juara dives deep into examining the institutional, regulatory and technological conditions needed to unlock that potential by drawing on lessons from other markets and models across Southeast Asia. It aims to provide a roadmap that sparks dialogue and guides real action. Kenanga Group has significantly expanded its digital footprint in recent years, not only by launching cutting-edge platforms such as Kenanga Digital Investing (KDI) and the Rakuten Trade online stockbroking platform, but also through a series of strategic investments and partnerships. This includes a stake in Kinetic DAX Sdn Bhd (KDX), one of the country’s first licensed digital asset exchanges, reinforcing its commitment to digital assets and the broader crypto ecosystem. In addition, Kenanga has invested in pioneering fintech and digital finance companies including Helicap Pte Ltd (Helicap) (data-driven private credit), Bay Group Holdings Sdn Bhd (CapBay) (supply chain financing), Merchantrade Asia Sdn Bhd (e-money and remittance services), and entered partnerships with leading technology and payment firms such as Ant Group Co, Ltd. These initiatives demonstrate Kenanga’s proactive approach to shaping Malaysia’s financial future through innovation, collaboration, and a robust presence in digital and digital asset markets. Saison Capital Pte Ltd is the venture capital arm of Credit Saison; it invests in early stage companies across all verticals, with a focus on fintech, e-commerce and Web 3.0. HELIX is a blockchain-based tokenisation startup founded by Helicap. HELIX enables the issuance of tokenised private credit and alternative assets.

Aspire cuts FX fees to help entrepreneurs with global ambitions scale smarter

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 August 2025 – Aspire, a leading all-in-one finance platform for modern businesses, has lowered its foreign exchange fees further to help entrepreneurs reduce costs and scale globally without compromising their runway. With this latest adjustment, Aspire now offers one of the lowest FX rates in the market, solidifying its position as the most cost effective choice for cross-border business payments. Rising global costs and tighter access to capital have made financial efficiency a critical priority for startups. Founders in Singapore and across the region are under mounting pressure to extend their runway and make every dollar count, especially as they expand into new markets. From paying overseas suppliers and contractors to managing remote teams and launching in new geographies, cross-border payments are now routine for today’s startups. In fact, 79% of Singapore SMEs report plans for greater international expansion, and 63% have increased their use of overseas suppliers and services. Despite this trend, Singapore businesses lose an estimated S$5.66 billion annually due to hidden FX markups and unclear exchange rate fees. These losses quietly erode already slim margins and reduce the capital available for growth. Aspire’s updated FX pricing ensures global transactions align with the way modern startups operate: lean, transparent, and built for speed. “Many businesses today are global from day one, but they are losing margin to expensive rates and hidden and opaque fees,” said Andrea Baronchelli, CEO and co-founder of Aspire. “At Aspire, we believe protecting the runway shouldn’t come at the cost of international growth. By lowering our FX rates further, we’re giving founders a faster, more cost-effective way to scale across borders without compromise. What you see is what you pay for.” This is not a short-term adjustment by Aspire. This move underscores its ongoing commitment to helping founders scale efficiently today and in the long run, eliminating unnecessary costs and offering the best possible FX rates in the market. The updated FX rates are available immediately to all Aspire Singapore business account users.

Trend Micro Reinvents Proactive Security with Digital Twin Technology

Innovation at the speed of agentic AI, built on NVIDIA AI, provides a data-driven foundation for supercharged decision-making HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 August 2025 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today unveiled a groundbreaking new cyber resilience model that reinvents how enterprises approach proactive security. Trend’s Digital Twin capabilities will empower enterprises to simulate real-world cyber threats, validate their defenses, and adapt policies in real time across complex and diverse digital environments. To learn more about how Trend’s Digital Twin technology is reshaping proactive security, visit: https://www.trendmicro.com/en_us/business/ai/digital-twin.html Bartley Richardson, Senior Engineering Director, Agentic AI at NVIDIA: “In today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, organizations need proactive solutions that can anticipate and counter potential threats before they occur. Powered by NVIDIA NIM microservices, Trend’s cybersecurity digital twins bring AI-driven protection to enterprise infrastructure.” At the core of this model is Trend’s advanced agentic AI and industry-first application of cybersecurity digital twin technology. By creating high-fidelity, continuously updated simulation of an organization’s infrastructure, Trend enables security teams to visualize risk, test scenarios safely, and make rapid, data-driven decisions that improve resilience and reduce business disruptions. The shift from periodic assessments to continuous, intelligent simulation marks a major evolution in proactive cybersecurity. It allows organizations to stay ahead of adversaries, harden their environments to circumvent cybersecurity threats, and confidently secure mission-critical operations against an ever-changing threat landscape. The technology shifts security practices from static and reactive to dynamic and predictive, enabling measurable improvements across a range of critical use cases. Stuart Samples, Chief Technology Officer at Northeast Georgia Health System: “Trend’s digital twin approach completely changes our ability to understand risk in real-time. It helps us catch threats we didn’t even know to look for, allowing our team to focus less on firefighting and more on confidently driving innovation.” Trend’s cybersecurity Digital Twin technology is powered by NVIDIA accelerated computing and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, including NVIDIA NIM microservices. This enterprise-grade software enables the delivery of agentic AI models, optimized inference, and secure, scalable deployment—combining the simplicity of APIs with the flexibility of self-hosted infrastructure to strengthen cybersecurity outcomes with AI-driven precision. Trend’s Digital Twin model will help organizations proactively manage risk across their entire infrastructure—from on-prem to cloud, IT to OT, and legacy to next gen AI-powered systems. It comes as governments and industry leaders accelerate AI infrastructure investments. Trend’s approach to digital twins enables customers to make better informed risk decisions and enhance security operations across their organization. Scenario planning: AI agents simulate threats and tactics within the Digital Twin, long before a real-world incident occurs. This helps to test current mitigation strategies in a continuous cycle, to improve resilience planning for sensitive and complex environments. Security investments: Decision makers can introduce new tools, policies, or architectural changes to see how they perform in the virtual environment. This results in better informed, data-driven investment decisions. Business resilience optimization: Digital Twin technology can be used to simulate business-critical failure scenarios to highlight how data flows, how decisions are made, and how disruptions ripple across IT/OT systems and teams. These real-time risk insights boost enterprise security planning capabilities without risking disruption to production systems. Frank Dickson, Group Vice President, Security & Trust at IDC: “As threats migrate to OT, proactive security is critical. Trend Micro’s Digital Twin technology introduces a new operational model for enterprise cyber security: simulation. Sometimes even probing a production network can result in downtime, often making it extremely difficult to expose vulnerabilities and confirm compensating measures. A continuous cycle of adversary simulation and defensive validation becomes a value tool to ensure that organizations stay ahead of cyber threats, while being sensitive to the fragility of some operational environments.” The announcement is the latest in a line of innovation-led projects from Trend designed to help network defenders harness AI, close skill gaps, and improve security outcomes. Most recently, Trend announced it would open source its Trend Cybertron AI model and agent framework in a bid to accelerate the development of autonomous cybersecurity agents. Its work has also expanded to cover protection for GenAI workloads and advances to sovereign AI infrastructure. Rachel Jin, Chief Enterprise Platform Officer at Trend: “Enterprises are struggling to defend complex, dynamic infrastructure environments from highly adaptive, AI-powered adversaries. Rapid shifts in threat actor tactics and IT infrastructure mean reactive, point-in-time risk assessments are no longer fit for purpose. Our Digital Twin technology empowers customers to simulate threats and safely validate security controls without touching production systems—to finally close the gap between digital transformation and defensive readiness.” Hashtag: #trendmicro #trendvisionone #visionone #cybersecurity#digitaltwin https://www.trendmicro.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/trend-micro-hong-kong-96353768/https://twitter.com/trendmicroameahttps://www.facebook.com/tmhk1989/ The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

ICH Group Anchors Key SGX Group IPOs; Bullish on Singapore’s Small-Mid-Cap Market

Capital Deployed to Date: Over US$1 Billion Companies Supported: Advised and invested in 200+ SGX-listed companies SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 August 2025 – ICH Group is the key anchor investor in the recent Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) of Lum Chang Creations, Info-Tech and Goodwill Entertainment on multi-asset platform Singapore Exchange (SGX Group), a decisive move that signals renewed investor confidence following a notable drought in local listings from 2023-2024. This direct investment is part of the broader strategy to inject vital capital into Singapore’s high-growth small- and mid-cap companies. Since its inception in 2000, backed by initial investments from EDB Singapore, among others, ICH has been a committed investor of local small-to-mid cap companies. Over the past 25 years, it has advised and invested in more than 200 SGX-listed companies. Today, the ICH Group’s integrated platform – comprising ICH Asset Management, ADDX, and ICAPITAL – spans asset management, private market access, and capital advisory, serving as a one-stop solution for businesses at every stage of their capital needs journey. With a focus on high-growth sectors such as technology, healthcare, sustainability, and consumer services, ICH and its partners have deployed over US$1 billion into Singapore and other international markets. This has been invaluable in helping bridge local capital gaps while also attracting global investors that are committed to the long-term vision of a thriving Singapore equity market. ICH’s distinct advantage lies in its ability to mobilise and match capital from a broad spectrum of investors, including institutional and aggregated private wealth, to early- and growth-stage enterprises that often find themselves underserved by larger financial institutions. Track Record of Supporting Singapore’s Small- and Mid-Cap Space ICH Group’s model is unique in its ability to combine advisory, capital raising and long-term partnership across the growth journey of a company. This includes structuring early-stage rounds, preparing companies for IPO, and supporting post-listing strategies to sustain investor confidence and drive long-term value. Yangzijiang Shipbuilding, now one of the most recognisable names on SGX, was one of ICH’s earliest success stories as the Group provided equity and strategic advice while also helping the firm navigate the niche financing channels of the shipbuilding industry. ICH Group played a pivotal role in othe strategic spinoff of Yangzijiang Financial, a move that has unleashed significant shareholder value and positioned both entities for accelerated growth in their respective markets. The company not only brought significant companies of size to SGX, but also attracted institutional and retail investor attention to the broader industrial and manufacturing sectors in Asia. “In an increasingly multipolar financial landscape, Singapore stands out as a trusted hub for global capital flows, especially in the ASEAN region,” Vincent Toe, Cofounder of ICH Group and MD of ICHAM, explained. “Our partnerships with foreign companies, coupled with our local market expertise, allow us to be an effective bridge for this inbound capital. It’s a win-win for both sides.” Gateway for Chinese Capital and Issuers In parallel with supporting homegrown enterprises, ICH Group has also built out its cross-border capital capabilities. One of its strategic pillars is acting as a gateway for Chinese institutional capital into Southeast Asia, particularly through the Qualified Domestic Limited Partner (QDLP) programme. As one of the early adopters of QDLP, ICH has cultivated long-term partnerships with Chinese asset owners, fund managers and wealth platforms. This has enabled the Group to channel “sticky” capital into Singapore’s equity markets; capital that is long-term in nature and strategic. This unique access to a differentiated investor base is becoming increasingly valuable, especially as global capital flows continue to diversify away from traditional Western centres toward Asia. Singapore, as a politically stable, transparent and internationally recognised financial hub, is uniquely placed to benefit. “While global markets face uncertainty, our QDLP partners see a generational growth opportunity in ASEAN’s digital and sustainable economies,”; said Vincent Toe, Co-founder of ICH Group. “They are not just deploying short-term capital; they are making strategic, long-term commitments to participate in the region’s future, and Singapore is their trusted gateway. Our unique role is to bridge their vision with high-potential local companies ready for growth.” “Our role is to help them find the right partners, ensure regulatory alignment, and create long-term, win-win outcomes for everyone involved,” said Toe. Beyond mobilising capital, ICH is also focused on introducing high-quality foreign companies to Singapore’s public markets. With growing geopolitical and regulatory headwinds in other listing destinations, SGX has become an increasingly attractive platform for deep tech companies from China looking to list abroad. The Group sees strong potential in sectors such as new energy, biotechnology, smart manufacturing, and digital services. All these are industries that are not only expanding rapidly in China but also have meaningful relevance to ASEAN’s development priorities. “Listing in Singapore offers international issuers access to global investors, a reputable legal framework, and strong secondary market support,” said Toe. “Our objective is to work with these companies early, prepare them for international listing requirements, and ensure their long-term success as public companies.” Hashtag: #ICHGroup The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
