The Secretary for Development of the Hong Kong SAR Government The Hon Bernadette Linn, accompanied by ATAL Engineering Group Founder Dr Otto Poon, Chairman Dr Kim Mak, and Chief Executive Officer Mr Raymond Chan, officiated at the opening ceremony which was witnessed by Mr Ye Shui Qiu, Deputy Director-General, Department of Educational, Scientific and Technological Affairs, Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong SAR, government officials, industry representatives and partners.
Ms Bernadette Linn and other guests viewed the work of ATAL Design, Research and Training Centre on developing advanced construction techniques and digital technology, encompassing Multi-trade integrated Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MiMEP), Modular Integrated Construction (MiC), Building Information Modelling (BIM), AI-driven Digital Twin technology, Internet of Things (IoT), liquid cooling solutions for supercomputing data centres as well as comprehensive water, wastewater and waste treatment, and climate solutions, to spearhead intelligent and low-carbon transformation across the engineering industry.
Talent is critical for advancing innovative productive forces. Over the past four decades, ATAL has nurtured, through its comprehensive graduate trainee and apprenticeship programmes, over 1,100 professionals, who have contributed to the Group and the industry in different roles. With ATAL Design, Research and Training Centre, ATAL will nurture more of Hong Kong’s younger generation as talents with advanced engineering and technological expertise, to contribute to Hong Kong.
Transformed from an industrial facility to an intelligent building that integrates innovative and sustainable technologies, ATAL Tower exemplifies a successful transformation under the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Revitalisation Scheme for Industrial Buildings. ATAL Engineering Group Chairman Dr Kim Mak remarked, “In an era when technologies are reshaping industries, ATAL Engineering Group has for decades been a pioneer in R&D investment in electrical and mechanical engineering and technology services for smart cities, working hand-in-hand with customers to deliver advanced professional solutions that create value for the communities. The opening of ATAL Tower and ATAL Design, Research and Training Centre marks not only a milestone for the Group but also our confidence in the future, and continuous investment in Hong Kong.”
The Secretary for Development of the Hong Kong SAR Government The Hon Bernadette Linn said that it was more challenging to transform an industrial building than to rebuild it, posing significant difficulties. She congratulated the remarkable results of the ATAL Engineering Group for not only revitalising an industrial building but also adopting advanced technologies. She said it was encouraging that the successfully revitalised ATAL Tower is the first to meet the Government’s requirements by allocating 10% of its floor space for function that benefits social development, transforming it into a design, research and training centre, setting a benchmark. She is pleased to see that this research centre not only focuses on research but also supports training, hoping the centre would capitalise on its strengths to contribute to the entire construction sector.
ATAL Tower incorporates design, research, training as well as office functions. Transformed from a traditional industrial facility into an intelligent building with Provisional Platinum rating under BEAM Plus New Buildings V2.0, ATAL Tower features energy saving as well as renewable energy systems, including innovative chilled beam air supply technology, oil-free chillers, and photovoltaic pavers and panels. The “Smart Building Platform”, developed by ATAL, serves as the building’s “central nervous system” that integrates and controls HVAC, lighting, IoT sensors, and electrical and mechanical facilities throughout the building, leveraging artificial intelligence for analysis and optimisation to achieve approximately 30% reduction in annual energy consumption and carbon emissions, while creating a more comfortable indoor environment. The building also harmoniously integrates indoor plants with outdoor landscaping to cultivate an environment that enhances occupant wellbeing.

JUNEiNTER Unveils the LCP Game Revenue Estimation Model

Special Event for F2P Game Developers Launches Alongside the Announcement

SINGAPORE- Media OutReach Newswire – 17 August 2026 – With the global game market grown to an approximate value of US$200 billion annually, JUNEiNTER unveils a model designed to estimate the future revenue of individual games.

JUNEiNTER announced the release of the “LCP Model,” which estimates future revenue based on operating data from live service games and a public event of a free-trial marking its launch.

Whereas games generate recurring monthly cash flows and function as digital assets, the industry has lacked established standards to calculate the future revenue of individual titles — making their revenue streams difficult to be utilized as measurable financial assets.

The LCP Model was developed from the fundamental question: “How much revenue will our game generate?” The S66 Engine, which applies the LCP Model, analyzes actual service data accumulated from launch to calculate potential future revenue. Accordingly, it has been simulated about 90,000 times, confirming its consistency and reproducibility.

To mark the unveiling of the LCP Model, JUNEiNTER is holding a public event for developers to get revenue estimations for their own games. Eligible participants are games that use the F2P model monetized through in-app purchases (IAP) or combining in-app purchases with in-app advertising. Steam and console games are excluded.

Participating developers will also be offered additional special benefits for future usage. Eligibility requirements and details of the benefits are available on JUNEiNTER’s official website (https://gv.juneinter.com).

A JUNEiNTER spokesperson said, “Revenue estimates generated by the S66 Engine are not intended to be investment solicitation, fundraising, or a guarantee of returns. The results are estimates based on the data submitted by developers and the model’s criteria, and may differ from actual revenue.”

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 August 2026 – The Cocoa Trees, a Singapore-based confectionery retailer and distributor established in 2000, has launched Kaki’s, its first in-house developed and manufactured chocolate brand, built around flavours drawn from everyday Singaporean food culture. The Singapore-made range is sold exclusively at The Cocoa Trees stores and online at www.thecocoatrees.com.

The Cocoa Trees Launches Kaki’s, Its First In-House Chocolate Brand

A Shift From Distribution to Brand Ownership
Since its founding, The Cocoa Trees has operated primarily as a retailer and distributor, offering more than 60 international confectionery brands across more than 20 stores in Singapore.

Kaki’s marks the company’s first move into developing and producing its own branded product line, in addition to distributing existing third-party brands such as Ritter Sport and Lindt.

A Range Built Around Everyday Singaporean Flavours
Kaki’s flavours draw on Singapore’s daily food rituals, from kopitiam mornings to late-night gatherings over local delicacies.

The range includes Nanyang Kopi, also referred to as Bittersweet Symphony, a coffee-flavoured chocolate capturing the taste of traditional freshly brewed coffee. Pandan Kaya is inspired by the slow-cooked, hand-stirred kaya used in a classic Singapore breakfast. Teh Tarik and Tropical Notes draws on the pulled-tea beverage alongside regional fruit profiles, including sunny mango, lychee, and a Singapore Sling-inspired blend.

Packaging Includes Local Storytelling
Kaki’s is designed as an everyday snack, a thoughtful gift for friends and family, and a corporate gift snack option for the workplace, as well as a culturally rooted souvenir for visitors to Singapore. Each bar comes wrapped in limited-edition artwork, with local fun facts and short, down-to-earth stories printed on the back. The bars come in a multi-piece format meant for sharing, rather than single-serve wrapping.

“Kaki’s was never meant to just be a snack on a shelf. It was built around the small, everyday moments Singaporeans already share with each other, over coffee, over breakfast, over the little rituals we return to again and again. This is the first time we have built a brand from the ground up, and we wanted it to feel like something that brings people closer, not just something they eat alone,” said Pamela Loo, Deputy CEO, The Cocoa Trees.

Kaki’s is available at The Cocoa Trees stores across Singapore and online at www.thecocoatrees.com.
