DHL sends healthcare supplies for World Health Organization to the Pacific Islands

  • Tourism-dependent islands badly impacted by more than 90% decline in
    passenger flights
  • Supplementary COVID-19 supplies moved through Singapore and Fiji to reach
    the Pacific islands

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 26 November 2020 - The far
flung islands in the Pacific have not been spared the brunt of COVID-19. The
World Health Organization has been working tirelessly to ensure much-needed
supplies and healthcare equipment reach the shores of these islands. While the
number of cases has been relatively small,
many of these countries, which are heavily dependent on tourism, have been
impacted by the dramatic cuts in passenger flights, resulting in a logistical
challenge to send in basic supplies on a regular basis.

 

This week, the World Health Organization coordinated its
latest cargo donation through DHL Global Forwarding ("DHL"), the freight
specialist of Deutsche Post DHL Group, to support the islands' fight against
COVID-19. The shipments, worth over EUR 650,000 contained medical devices such
as oxygen concentrator sets, patient monitors and pulse oximeters, were
airfreighted from Singapore to Fiji, where they will be dispatched to eight
islands in the Pacific. The Pacific Islands, which had previously managed to
avoid large outbreaks, experienced a recent
spike
in COVID-19 infections that doubled its total number of cases.

 

Due to the shortage of air capacity with passenger flights
reduced by more than 90%, the freight had to be broken down into three tranches,
sent some two weeks apart. DHL Global Forwarding organized the first shipment
from Singapore to Fiji on 22 October, and will be stored till the last shipment
arrives on 19 November. From Fiji, special flights or shipping lines were then
organized into eight markets, Cook Islands, Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, Solomon
Islands, Tokelau, Tuvalu and Tonga, to ensure they reached their destination.

 

"Ensuring that the Pacific Island countries have access to
the necessary medical equipment and supplies to prepare for and respond to
COVID-19 is a priority for the World Health Organization. But reaching such
remote places, especially when so many airports are closed, is a huge
logistical challenge. WHO is happy to be working with our partners like DHL to
be able to make this happen." said Dr Takeshi Kasai, WHO Regional Director for
the Western Pacific.

 

The medical devices, which will be sent to hospitals and
other healthcare institutions, will aid local medical professionals in treating
COVID-19 patients.

 

"Whilst the Pacific Islands' geographic distance from
densely populated countries had helped them avert major outbreaks during the
pandemic, it has equally worked against them in acquiring much-needed supplies due
to the scarcity of air freight capacity. As one of the few global logistics
players in the Islands and one with a geographic footprint as wide as ours, we
are glad to be able to play a part in delivering the medical equipment and
living up to our purpose of 'Connecting People, Improving Lives," said Kelvin
Leung, CEO, DHL Global Forwarding Asia Pacific.

 

More than ever before, the
criticality of logistics networks have been demonstrated in the battle to get
much needed supplies to countries that need it the most. Since the start of the
year, DHL Global Forwarding tapped on its network of life science and
healthcare facilities, temperature-controlled solutions and customs clearance
expertise to fly more than 1.3
million
COVID-19 test kits from South Korea
to Brazil, Ecuador, India, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Saudi Arabia. The
freight forwarder also launched a dedicated 100-ton
weekly air freight service
for organizations
and governments shipping health and medical-related items and other goods from
China to Middle East and Africa.

Vaccine logistics for Covid-19 will pose challenges along
the supply chain that must be jointly addressed by governments, NGOs,
pharmaceutical companies, and logistics players urgently.

ESR inks multi-lease agreement with Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation at ESR Yokohama Sachiura park clearing strategic Higashi Ogishima site for imminent development

Transaction results in accelerated leasing at ESR Yokohama Sachiura DC1 and development commencement of ESR Higashi Ogishima DC1

 

TOKYO, JAPAN/HONG KONG SAR - Media
OutReach
 - 26 November 2020 - ESR Cayman Limited ("ESR" or the "Group"; SEHK Stock Code: 1821), the
largest APAC focused logistics real estate platform, and Mitsubishi
Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation ("MFTBC" or "Mitsubishi Fuso") have worked
closely on a sweeping reorganisation of logistics operations in Kanagawa
prefecture, Japan. The landmark transaction has resulted in 2 new lease
agreements between ESR and MFTBC and material amendment of a third one. It
involves ESR's 2 leading park projects under development in Tokyo with a
combined total build-out area of circa 900,000 sqm and expected completion
value in excess of US$3.0 billion.

 

Higashi Ogishima: the parties have agreed to relocate MFTBC's
1,200-truck domestic parking operation away from its historical site in Higashi
Ogishima which ESR has controlled since 2016. The 8 Ha site being vacated will
now develop as the first phase of ESR Higashi Ogishima park. Construction of
the 310,000 sqm Higashi Ogishima DC 1 will commence next month for planned
delivery in December 2022.

 

Featuring the first ever 9-storey warehouse design
in Japan as well as advanced sustainability solutions ESR Higashi Ogishima park
will set a new benchmark for distribution centre design where optimal
integration into the urban fabric and lower environmental impact are achieved
without sacrificing building functionality and high-throughput. E-commerce and
3PLs choosing to operate at ESR Higashi Ogishima will enjoy close proximity to
Haneda Airport and Tokyo 23 wards as well as a supportive ecosystem with co-location
of ancillary services including children's day-care facilities of ESR partner BARNKLÜBB.

 

ESR Yokohama Sachiura Park: MFTBC has chosen to continue the domestic
distribution of its complete vehicles at ESR's other distribution park in the
greater Tokyo area, ESR Yokohama Sachiura. More specifically, MFTBC will
operate from the 15 Ha expansion area earmarked by ESR for bespoke logistics
space requirements. In addition, Mitsubishi FUSO has reserved 4 Ha of adjacent
space to allow the potential future consolidation of other logistics activities
into a large built-to-suit facility to be developed by ESR.

 

In a further endorsement of the ESR Yokohama
Sachiura park, MFTBC has also elected to locate additional operations in
building DC1. As a result, ESR Yokohama Sachiura park which is
halfway into development will achieve 38% pre-completion occupancy across its
circa 350,000 sqm net rentable area.

Stuart Gibson, Co-founder and Co-CEO of ESR,
commented: "This transaction is especially gratifying as it showcases several
key capability differentiators of the ESR platform. Evidently it allows our
most prized land holding to develop timely into ESR's most advanced product to
date. It also helps us cement our relationship with MFTBC who has been a
fantastic partner and who is equally interested in bringing innovative
solutions to our common set of third-party logistics clients with their
superior product line of commercial vehicles."

 

Arne Barden, Head of Supply Chain Management MFTBC,
equally welcomed the transaction observing that "ESR's Yokohama Sachiura site
is strategically located in Kanagawa Prefecture and will invigorate the
continuous improvements we implement in our operations" and expressed interest
in "further collaborating with ESR on sustainability initiatives aimed at urban
logistics".

 

Stefan Rödler, Head of Asia-Pacific Real Estate at Mitsubishi
Fuso's parent company Daimler AG, who steered the local teams through the
year-long negotiation concluded: "ESR has proven a reliable and creative
partner and we look forward to expanding collaboration across other geographies
to provide other Daimler business units with the same service level."

 

Reflecting on industry trends Mr. Gibson remarked
that this transaction vindicates ESR's longstanding choice of targeting larger
and more capital-intensive brownfield sites -- including the ones where patient and
strategic asset management work is required -- in the pursuit of the large
multi-tenanted buildings and parks favoured by occupiers and that "the ability
of all the ESR teams to bend functional lines to come as one on complex
transactions should serve ESR and its investors well in an increasingly
competitive market."  

 

Expanding on Mr. Gibson's comment, Pierre-Alexandre Humblot, ESR Managing Director Fund
Management and Capital, emphasised the central role played by the 2
development funds involved - RJLF2 and RJLF3 - and their investor
representatives: "Managing a plain-vanilla development on behalf of 3rd-party
capital is difficult enough. Here we had brownfield sites, criss-crossed
ownership by vehicles with different mandates and a large corporate tenant suitably
expecting their evolving occupancy requirements to be the leading
consideration. Our LPs displayed great agility to focus on the bigger picture
in a sign that 3rd-party capital is eager and capable of undertaking
the more advanced transactions provided they are afforded the most complete
insights into the developer thought process."

 

The related
sale of Higashi Ogishima Phase 1 accelerates RJLF2 divestment while allowing
RJLF3 to complete its circa US$600 million equity deployment just 18 months
into its investment period.

international investors with approximately 700 investment with total value
up to US$20 million. Among the startups connected, Abivin, the champion of
TECHFEST 2019, was chosen to participate in the competition and then won in the
international arena called Startup World Cup 2018.

Communications Association of Hong Kong Supports The New Initiatives on Telecommunications Industry in The Chief Executive’s 2020 Policy Address

New initiatives will be beneficial to the long-term development of innovation and technology and the implementation of the Smart City blueprint

 

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 25 November 2020 - Communications Association of Hong Kong (CAHK) has expressed positive support to the Chief Executive's 2020 Policy Address, in particular its new initiatives on Network Development and Wider Application of 5G as highlighted under the "New Impetus to the Economy".

 

We welcome the Hong Kong SAR (HKSAR) Government's plan to release more 5G spectrum (currently at 3.5GHz, 4.9GHz, and 3.3GHz ranges) in different frequency bands in 2021 to meet the needs of various 5G applications in terms of speed, capacity and coverage, as cited in the Policy Address. Making available more spectrum to all mobile operators in Hong Kong is fundamental to meeting the ever-increasing demand for mobile data services.

 

In addition, the new initiatives will address the restriction zone issue in the Tai Po area, which is caused by the interference between 5G and the satellite earth station in the 3.5GHz band.  When the telemetry, tracking and control stations of the two satellite operators are relocated from Tai Po to Chung Hom Kok Teleport in four years' time, the overall 5G coverage in Tai Po will be improved when mobile network operators could deploy the 5G frequency bands in a more holistic and efficient manner. 

 

On the promotion of 5G application, we note from the Policy Address that the HKSAR Government is determined to improve the deployment of 5G technology and application with the extension of the subsidy scheme application period under the Anti-epidemic Fund for six months until May 2021.  Furthermore, the HKSAR Government has also worked with a number of public organisations to encourage the deployment of 5G technology in various sectors to facilitate the early adoption of 5G technology and application in government departments and public organisations. 

 

All these encouraging initiatives are welcomed by us and the industry. These initiatives will also promote the long-term development of innovation and technology and facilitate the implementation of the HKSAR Government's Smart City blueprint.

Impossible Marketing Clinches Title Of ‘Search Marketing Agency Of The Year 2020’

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 25 November 2020 - Leading digital marketing agency Impossible Marketing has once again proven itself as a force to be reckoned with. This time, the home-grown agency has been crowned the title of Search Marketing Agency of the Year 2020, marking their inaugural win on their first time participating in the annual competition.

 

This year's Agency of the Year Awards by Marketing Magazine celebrates outstanding local agencies in the advertising and marketing sectors, spread across 23 categories. Unlike most other industry awards, the Agency of the Year Awards judges companies by their overall performance, rather than on specific campaigns.

Finishing amongst the top three agencies in the Search Marketing category, Impossible Marketing -- which offers services like search engine optimisation (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) -- was handpicked out of a sea of local digital marketing agencies by a panel of independent client-side judges. This year, the jury was made up of esteemed marketing professionals in numerous well-known companies like Grab, L'Oréal, and Hilton, amongst others.

On their milestone achievement, founder and CEO of Impossible Marketing, Alan Koh, wishes to give the credit to his reliable team of marketers and their clients' trust. "A big thank you to our clients for their ongoing support, and all at Team Impossible, who work tirelessly to hit the KPIs," said Mr Koh.

The win adds onto the company's growing list of achievements, which includes their recent nomination as a finalist of the "Best Use Of Digital 2020" award by Markies Singapore. While this milestone achievement has affirmed the work of this 9-year-old company, they are not about to rest on their laurels.

Speaking about the company's future plans after winning the Search Marketing Agency of the Year 2020, Mr Koh shared that he intends to bring his services to more countries in the South East Asia region in the next year. He explains, "Every company needs to have an online presence, not only in Singapore. Therefore, it only makes sense for us to offer our winning digital strategy to more companies in the world."

Connected Fitness Start Up Vitruvian Raises USD$2.5 Million Capital Seed Round Investment

PERTH, AUSTRALIA - Media
OutReach
 - 25 November
2020 - Vitruvian, an Australian Connected Fitness Technology company, has
announced that they have raised USD $2.5m (AUD$3.42m) in capital
from industry-leading strategic investors, despite a global pandemic.

 

This injection allows Vitruvian to ramp up production of
their revolutionary strength training device, the V-Form Trainer, which opens
to the global retail market tomorrow after months of demand.

 

Evolution Wellness Group, based in South-East Asia with
a portfolio of influential fitness and wellness brands, recognised the value in Vitruvian after trying one of the prototype devices and
were quick to lead the round.

 

Evolution Wellness CEO Simon Flint immediately saw
the potential of the innovative product.

 

"Upon the formation of Evolution Wellness in 2017,
we were clear about our ambition and direction for the company, which was to
build value with a diverse and exciting portfolio of brands. Our investment in
Vitruvian marks our first major foray into the area of connected fitness and is
another stepping stone in fulfilling our growth ambition in this fast-paced
industry.

 

Jon and the team have built a first-class product
which is going to perform extremely well as it takes a unique spot in the
connected fitness category; we look forward to playing a pivotal role in their
growth journey to bring the V-Form Trainer into new markets and help more
people pursue their health and fitness goals,"
said Flint.

 

The investment was quickly secured after Vitruvian's
successful pre-order campaign, which outsold global category leader Peloton's
pre-order campaign.

 

The V-Form Trainer promises to dramatically improve the
efficiency and accessibility of resistance training.

 

Driven by intelligent algorithmic technology, the device
does away with static weight entirely, rather, it modifies weight loading
between 5kg and 180kg to match the user's ability.

 

Perth-based founder Jon Gregory, a former high frequency
trader whose experience with algorithm-building is the foundation of the
device's offering, was thrilled by the success of the launch.

 

"The response from consumers has been overwhelming,
I knew we were onto something after spending the last 10 years iterating the
technology, but I am glad the general fitness community has also bought into
what we are building,"
says Gregory.

What they're saying about the V-Form Trainer

 

"It's almost overwhelming, because I've been working
for the last 15 years to perfect an eccentrics protocol delivery and 31 years
trying to perfect a training system in general -- and this changes the game so
much."
--Jim Clarry, Founder Studio Perseverance & Strength Training Authority

 

"I'm blown away by the efficiency of Vitruvian
technology. The device automatically knows if it needs to reduce or increase
the weight load and it adapts to how you are lifting during your rep. Plus it
enables you to train all major and minor muscle groups in the comfort of your
own home!" --
Amanda Bisk, Exercise Physiologist & Elite Athlete

 

"As a fitness expert I have seen a lot of things
come and go in this industry. Most of the things I was glad to see go. When I
got my hands on the V-Form I was intrigued to use it. The technology truly
takes the science of strength training and puts it into a platform that anyone
can understand!
-- Joey Thurman, Celebrity Trainer

Powerful Smart Tech

 

Using innovative custom-developed motor systems, the V-Form
Trainer can output enough resistance for max lifts up to 180kg.
  The adaptive force algorithm manages load,
dynamically changing resistance to slash the time it takes to build muscle,
while logging performance data to monitor progress. Train in a variety of
modes: it's the first device to empower users to train truly eccentrically
at significant loads without static weight and without a spotter.

 

Versatile Flexibility

 

The connected app and accessories guide full-body,
customizable workouts, with over 200 exercises across all muscle groups.
Coached classes and technique tutorials are delivered by leading professional
trainers.

 

Sleek Design


Carbon fiber, smooth finish and dynamic lighting make the
V-Form Trainer a  sophisticated home
feature. Customizable LEDs respond to your force load and the light, flat
platform easily stores away out of sight.

 

Named for Leonardo Da Vinci's famous drawing of the ideal
human physique, Vitruvian empowers users to find their perfect form with unique
technology. It's resistance revolutionized -- the smartest way to train. Learn

Human Regenerator Jet World Exclusive Regeneration Technology unveiled

BAD
ZWISCHENAHN, GERMANY - EQS Newswire - 25 November 2020 - System4 Technologies GmbH, a
German developer and producer of innovative health and wellness technologies
and products, unveiled its brand new 2021 Human Regenerator Jet 10 years after
the first Human Regenerator Generation. 

The Human
Regenerator Jet is the world's only electronic device that counteracts the
consequences of oxidative stress, degeneration and aging with the science of
physics.

 

Revolutionary Technology

Oxidative
stress is caused by natural cell division or by external influences such as harmful
environmental factors, harmful food, inflammation, stress, infection or
illnesses. Oxidative stress is responsible for aging and the loss of
vitality.  It is also the cause of many
known diseases. Oxidative stress produces free radicals which harm cells and
DNA. Physically speaking free radicals are incomplete, forming unpaired
electrons, missing one electron. The exclusive Human Regenerator Jet gently
transmits active electrons to the user in form of micro currents that
counteract oxidative stress in a revolutionary and effective way. In the new
advanced method, the micro currents are produced by negative ion plasma that is
gently transported by electronic induction. The user feels the session by a
pleasant antistatic field.

 

Application

Each
session lasts half an hour. Applicators on arms and legs discharge excess
electrons into the earth. The Human Regenerator Jet has purely positive effects on the entire body without
any side effects. Therefore it can't be overexposed, since more than an ideal
bio-energetic level cannot be reached. The user feels relaxed in a meditative
state.
