Hong Kong Wraps Up Valuable Participation at WEF Annual Meeting
As a panelist for a discussion session titled “Stemming Financial Fragmentation”, Mr Chan noted that while geopolitics may subject regional and global financial markets to greater volatility, Hong Kong boasts a robust financial system and strong buffer, maintains a free and open business environment, and steadfastly upholds the linked exchange rate system.
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.
In discussion with Professor Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the WEF, Mr Chan said Hong Kong is willing to strengthen co-operation with the WEF in different areas, including green transition, financial services development, urban management, and more. 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.

Dou Yee Enterprises Partners with BIOVIA to provide LIMS and ELN Software Solutions in Southeast Asia
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

Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) Philippines celebrates milestones, thanks media and content creators at annual Pasasalamat event
2024 was a groundbreaking year of achievements for Philippine tourism promotions
MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 January 2025 – The Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) Philippines kicked off 2025 with its annual Pasasalamat event on January 27th at the historic Centro de Turismo Intramuros. Celebrating the vital role of media professionals and content creators, the evening reflected on TPB’s key achievements and milestones in tourism promotion.
TPB Chief Operating Officer Maria Margarita Montemayor Nograles shared impressive stats: in 2024, the agency generated over PHP 11.3 billion in sales leads, a 44.8% increase from the year before. Global travel fairs like ITB Berlin and the World Travel Market in London contributed PHP 918 million in leads, while strategic partnerships with media outlets like GMA7, ABS-CBN, CNN, Bloomberg, and Euronews added PHP 1.44 billion in media values.
“Pasasalamat is our way of recognizing the invaluable contributions of our communication partners and stakeholders in helping us share the wonders of the Philippines,” said Nograles. “Through your dedication, we’ve reached new heights and inspired travelers to explore our country.”
Stars such as Timothy Granaderos from 13 Reasons Why, Nico Santos from Crazy Rich Asians, Broadway’s Aladdin star Josh de la Cruz, and Korean actor Kim Ji Soo were lauded for their significant contributions to elevating the Philippines’ global presence. Renowned music icons like LANY were also celebrated for fostering the vibe of a transformative and vibrant cultural hotspot.
Likewise, the TPB’s Community-Based Tourism Marketing Enhancement Program has effectively empowered local communities to highlight their unique cultural and natural assets. Through workshops and training sessions in Bicol and CALABARZON in late 2024, grassroots stakeholders developed strategies to attract travelers while safeguarding their heritage. This initiative has not only boosted visitor engagement in these destinations but also fostered sustainable economic opportunities, ensuring that tourism directly benefits the local communities.
At the tail end of her presentation, Nograles also shared that the TPB is in the final stretches of its preparations for World Expo Osaka, which opens on April 13. This global platform presents a unique opportunity to showcase the Philippines’ rich tourism offerings, attract sustainable investments, and drive economic growth.
As the country steps confidently into 2025, the TPB’s unwavering commitment to innovation, collaboration, and sustainable tourism continues to lay the foundation for a thriving industry, poised to inspire the world, invite travelers and investors alike to experience the many reasons to love the Philippines.
