Gaw Capital Partners and GFH Partners Form JV to Develop UAE Industrial and Logistics Development Platform

Published

on

HONG KONG SAR/DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 January 2026 – Gaw Capital Partners, a leading multi-asset investment management firm, and GFH Partners, a leading Dubai-based real estate investment firm specializing in thematic property solutions, announce to establish a UAE-focused industrial and logistics platform (the “Platform”) through a joint venture partnership. Gaw Capital will hold a majority stake in the joint-venture company, which will serve as a gateway for the Asian capital to be deployed at-scale into the rapidly expanding UAE real estate market. The joint venture will be targeting high-quality industrial development projects comprising pre-identified seed assets across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah, the Emirates’ fast-growing industrial zones.

The developments will be led by Manrre Developments, a joint venture between GFH and Palmon Group, a seasoned UAE-based industrial conglomerate with over 40 years of institutional experience. This partnership unites proven regional expertise across acquisition, planning and design, development, execution, and operational readiness to deliver exceptional, future-ready warehouses and logistics centres.

Harry Ip, Managing Director of Gaw Capital, said, “We are thrilled to enter UAE’s flourishing industrial and logistics market, supported by strong fundamentals, the surge in structural demand driven by government-led initiatives, and heightened global interest in the logistics and industrial asset class. Leveraging the expertise from GFH Partners, this partnership positions us as one of Asia’s leading forerunners in delivering prime industrial facilities in the UAE, providing investors with exposure to a fundamentally undersupplied market.”

Nael Mustafa, CEO of GFH Partners, commented, “GFH Partners brings on-the-ground specialists, experienced local operators, and a strong track record managing logistics and industrial assets across the GCC. This joint venture allows us to scale that regional expertise even further, capitalizing on the UAE’s robust industrial growth trajectory. Through this partnership with Gaw Capital, we are combining regional insight with global capability to unlock new opportunities in the UAE’s expanding industrial and logistics sector.”

The Platform is being launched at a time of strong macroeconomic momentum, supported by the UAE’s long-term development strategies including the Dubai Industrial Strategy 2030 and the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. Majority of these initiatives are aimed at accelerating industrial diversification, attracting FDI, and expanding logistics infrastructure. The local government offers a list of pro-business regulatory and fiscal policies, including tax exemptions, customs duty exemption, simplified regulations in 40+ free zones, and relaxed foreign ownership limitation, to accelerate logistics demand and investment. Furthermore, the population of the UAE has experienced dramatic growth and is expected to reach 12.2 million by 2030, driven by the long-term residency incentives (e.g. Golden Visa), competitive tax regime, openings of prestigious school campuses for expatriate professional and family relocation.

Demand for logistics and industrial assets remains robust, supported by a persistent supply–demand imbalance. Dubai’s warehouse and logistics occupancy currently exceeds 97%, with rental rates increasing 33% year-on-year. The formation of the Platform will mark Gaw Capital’s first geographic footprint in the logistics sector in the UAE, demonstrating its global network and cross-border expertise in accessing industrial and logistics investments ahead of the curve.

Gaw Capital has established a robust logistics footprint across China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and Australia, with investments in 39 projects totalling approximately 3.8 million sqm of GFA. As of Q3 2025, Gaw Capital manages over US$3.4 billion in assets under management in its global logistics portfolio.

Since 2014, the firm has acquired, developed, and managed a substantial portfolio of modern logistics facilities with over 3 million sqm of GFA across China, supported by a team of around 100 professionals through 4 investment vehicles. Leveraging its deep expertise, Gaw Capital has expanded into other APAC markets through strategic partnerships, acquiring high-quality assets in key metropolitan hubs. Recent investments include seven logistics assets in Greater Tokyo (nearly 250,000 sqm GFA), one in Seoul (over 75,000 sqm GFA), two in Vietnam (over 210,000 sqm GFA) and six urban industrial and logistics warehouses in Sydney (over 45,000 sqm GFA). The firm’s in-house teams and operating partners deliver value-added services across the logistics value chain, including development, construction, leasing, and property management.

90 Million Downloads & Counting: ELSA Speak’s AI helps HK Professionals Increase Market Value and Unlock Global Opportunities

Published

on

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 January 2026 – With intensifying global competition and remote work becoming the new normal, Hong Kong people’s “English capital” is facing unprecedented challenges. Multiple international English proficiency indicators show that local talent’s spoken English competitiveness is being rapidly caught up by neighboring regions. When professional capabilities are “discounted” due to language communication. From Silicon Valley, the AI English learning app ELSA Speak, which has surpassed 90 million downloads globally, officially enters the local market. As a pioneer in AI English education, ELSA Speak aims to help Hong Kong elites overcome their fear of “Hong Kong English,” transforming language into a tangible asset for salary increases and job transitions.

“Dumb English” as a Career Ceiling: Strong Reading and Writing, Weak Oral Skills

The Hong Kong workplace demands precision and efficiency. While many professionals have solid reading and writing skills, they often lose confidence during multinational meetings or high-pressure interview negotiations due to pronunciation challenges. The local education system’s long-standing exam-oriented culture, which “emphasizes reading and writing while neglecting listening and speaking,” combined with the outflow of core talent aged 31 to 40, means that if the new generation’s spoken communication skills are not improved, Hong Kong’s linguistic advantage as an international financial center could be further weakened.

Silicon Valley Patented AI: Transforming English from “Burden” to “Asset” in Just 10 Minutes a Day

  • Personalized Learning: ELSA Speak offers a “Personalized Learning Path” that targets users’ professional backgrounds, English levels, and learning goals, creating tailored courses. It covers core dimensions such as pronunciation, accent, conversation, grammar, and vocabulary, emphasizing “learning by application” to save busy professionals from blindly searching for resources, ensuring every practice session translates into workplace competence.
  • Phoneme-Level Accuracy Correction: With a patented AI technology boasting over 95% accuracy, ELSA Speak can instantly analyze pronunciation, stress, and intonation, providing guidance for common pronunciation pitfalls among Asians.
  • AI Role-Playing: By simulating various everyday and workplace scenarios, ELSA Speak makes learning faster and easier, closely mirroring real-life situations, such as “how to advocate for resources from overseas supervisors” or “negotiating salaries under pressure,” enabling users to practice before entering actual scenarios.
  • Authoritative Course Integration: Partnering with leading global publishers, ELSA Speak offers comprehensive professional courses in business English, IELTS, and TOEFL, supporting competitiveness for overseas positions.

“Good English is not measured by your exam scores, but by your ability to hit the key points in meetings.” ELSA Speak employs a “Native-like Score” mechanism, making progress visible, so language proficiency is no longer subjective but a clearly demonstrable “career asset.”

2026 Career Investment: Breaking the Salary Ceiling

ELSA Speak is not just a learning tool; it’s a catalyst for transforming regional talent into “global high-paid professionals.” The innovative application of ELSA Speak has also attracted significant attention, sharing at the ATD 2025 Asia-Pacific Conference in Taiwan how AI can drive personalized training, turning precise English skills into quantifiable corporate competitiveness, helping businesses build future talent teams.

Currently, ELSA Speak is fully available for download on the App Store and Google Play. Starting now, you can click the link to experience your personalized learning journey and position yourself for job transitions and salary increases in 2026.

  • Geely advanced from “Full-Domain AI 1.0” to 2.0, while officially launching the G-ASD intelligent driving system to accelerate the transition to high-level autonomous driving.

LAS VEGAS, USA – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 January 2026 – Geely Auto Group attended the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 for the third consecutive year, reinforcing its commitment to leading the next era of intelligent mobility. As CES continues to evolve into an AI-driven cross-industry innovation platform, Geely took center stage to unveil two major breakthroughs that will redefine the technical foundation of next-generation smart vehicles: Full-Domain AI 2.0, Geely’s upgraded vehicle intelligence architecture, and G-ASD (Geely Afari Smart Driving), Geely’s newly launched intelligent driving system designed to accelerate the transition to high-level autonomous driving.

Full-Domain AI 2.0 marks a significant evolution from Geely’s previous Full-Domain AI 1.0, shifting from fragmented, module-based intelligence toward a unified vehicle-wide AI architecture. Geely has achieved deep integration of vehicle-level computing power, data, and models to establish a powerful central intelligent engine, effectively empowering all vehicle functions with a “super AI brain” capable of unified scheduling and efficient collaboration across domains. This approach enables intelligent systems across the cockpit, chassis, safety, and driving domains to achieve mutual access and real-time interaction.

G-ASD marks a major step forward toward high-level autonomous driving. Developed as Geely’s next-generation intelligent driving system, G-ASD combines advanced AI, large-scale real-world driving data, and high-performance sensing and computing hardware to enhance safety and driving confidence in complex traffic scenarios.

Jerry Gan, CEO of Geely Auto Group: “AI is reshaping the automotive industry in many ways, from powertrains and components to a systematic reconstruction of mobility ecosystems and lifestyles. Geely is committed to creating safe, sustainable, and intelligent mobility for the world.”

Li Chuanhai, CTO of Geely Auto Group: “By 2030, cars will evolve into ‘Super Intelligence’ with emotional awareness, proactive service, and continuous evolution. G-ASD and Full-Domain AI 2.0 are not distant concepts—they are tangible innovations that integrate with cockpits and chassis to deliver highly humanlike, super intelligent, and extremely user-friendly experiences.”
