Quality Building Award 2026 Winners Announced with Strong GBA and International Participation

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 June 2026 – The winners of the Quality Building Award 2026 (QBA 2026) were announced and presented at a ceremony held last Friday (26 June) at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The event brought together industry leaders, representatives of professional institutions, and project teams to celebrate the outstanding achievements of building projects from Hong Kong and beyond. Ms Bernadette Linn, JP, Secretary for Development, Development Bureau, HKSARG graced the occasion as the Guest of Honour. Kai Tak Sports Park received two awards, including the highest honor – the “Quality Excellence Award” – and the “Quality Building Award” in the Hong Kong Non-Residential (New Building – Government, Institution or Community) category.

Ms Chang Yuk Kam, Patricia, Chairlady of the Quality Building Award 2026 Organizing Committee, expressed gratitude to Ms Bernadette Linn, JP, Secretary for Development, Development Bureau, HKSARG and Mr Ho Chun Hung, JP, Director of Buildings,HKSARGwho served as Chairman of the Jury Panel, and also congratulated all the award winners. Ms Chang said: “Hong Kong is now proactively integrating into the national development strategy and fully participating in the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The construction industry is embracing unprecedented opportunities. The Quality Building Award is also keeping pace with the times, actively breaking down geographical boundaries and vigorously promoting cooperation and project exchanges among the construction sectors in the Greater Bay Area and beyond. We hope that outstanding construction practices and cutting-edge technologies from different regions can be shared and complement each other, and that we can jointly build a vibrant and sustainable cross-regional architectural ecosystem, while seizing opportunities together and pursuing shared development.”

For over two decades, the Quality Building Award has remained committed to its founding principles of recognizing excellence, driving innovation, and promoting inclusion, while witnessing the continuous evolution and growth of Hong Kong’s building industry and that of the wider region. Notably, this year’s Award significantly relaxed the entry requirements for the “Building Outside GBA (include International)” and “Building in GBA (Not include Hong Kong)” categories, with participating teams no longer required to include a Hong Kong-registered company. This move has successfully attracted a number of high-quality non-local projects, including outstanding entries from Egypt and Shanghai, fully demonstrating Hong Kong’s unique advantage of being of enjoying strong support of the Motherland and being closely connected to the world, and further consolidating its status as a regional building hub.

The award-winning projects from past editions have covered a diverse spectrum of areas, including residential, non-residential, government and institutional buildings, renovation and revitalization projects, temporary structures, and cross-regional developments, showcasing the multifaceted value of architecture. This year’s winning projects not only combine aesthetic design with functional excellence, but also actively respond to the industry’s prevailing trends in green and low-carbon practices, as well as smart construction and management. They embody the core mission of driving urban development and enhancing the quality of living environments.

Ms Bernadette Linn, JP, Secretary for Development, Development Bureau, HKSARG, said: “The Quality Building Award has long been regarded as the ‘Oscar of the construction industry’. Over the past two decades, it has recognised numerous outstanding projects demonstrating excellence in design, construction, teamwork and sustainable development. This year’s Award is closely aligned with the policy direction of enhancing green development momentum under the National 15th Five-Year Plan. It reflects Hong Kong’s firm commitment to advancing high-quality sustainable development, and supports the national dual carbon goals as well as the broader green and low-carbon development strategy.”

The Quality Building Award 2026 featured eight award categories. Following months of rigorous evaluation by a 17-member judging panel comprising industry leaders, Kai Tak Sports Park stood out. With its “park-within-a-stadium” concept, it transformed the former airport site into an iconic landmark integrating sports, entertainment, community, and commercial functions. The design seamlessly blends aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability, which particularly embodies this year’s theme: “Smartly We Build | Sustainably We Thrive | Inclusively We Lead.” It was therefore honored with the highest award of the ceremony, the “Quality Excellence Award,” as well as the “Grand Award” in the category of “Hong Kong Non-Residential (New Building – Government, Institution or Community).”

This year, the Organizing Committee also presented two special awards: the “Innovative Project Award” and the “Sustainable Development Award”, which were awarded to Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park – Batch 1A Development: Building 11and Kai Tak District Cooling Plant No. 3 respectively. Among them, Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park – Batch 1A Development: Building 11 also received the “Grand Award” in the Hong Kong Residential (Single Building) category, while Kai Tak District Cooling Plant No. 3 also received the “Merit Award” in the Hong Kong Non-Residential (New Building – Government, Institution or Community) category.

Projects in the Hong Kong Residential (Multiple Buildings) category also performed exceptionally well, with NOVO LAND receiving the “Grand Award”. In the Hong Kong Building (Renovation / Revitalization) category, both Lo Pan Spirit Inheritance: Conservation of Lo Pan Temple and the Expansion of the Legislative Council Complex received the “Grand Award”. Meanwhile, W.I.S.E. Complex received the “Grand Award” in the Temporary Building category.

To bring together professional expertise from the Greater Bay Area and beyond, this year’s Award has specially revised the entry requirements for the categories of “Building Outside GBA (include International)” and “Building in GBA (Not include Hong Kong)”, breaking geographical boundaries and broadening the international exchange landscape of Hong Kong’s construction industry. The “Grand Award” in the “Building Outside GBA (include International)” category was presented to Arbour and The Iconic Tower, New Capital CBD, Egypt; while the “Grand Award” in the “Building in GBA (Not include Hong Kong)” category was presented to China Overseas Headquarters and Marisfrolg Industrial Park.

Mr Ho Chun Hung, JP, Director of Buildings, HKSARG who served as Chairman of the Jury Panel, said: “The pursuit of quality buildings, together with the creation of a sustainable and inclusive built environment, has long been a shared mission of the construction industry. Through recognising outstanding projects and exceptional professional teams, we aim to drive the industry forward, promoting the adoption of smart technologies, green and sustainable practices, and inclusive, people-oriented collaboration. Together, we can build a safer, higher-quality, and more liveable environment for all.”

The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) will serve as the Chairing Organization of the next Quality Building Award. The Award will continue to serve as an outstanding platform for industry exchange, recognizing outstanding projects and actively driving innovation and transformation within the construction sector. By working hand in hand with stakeholders across all sectors, Quality Building Award aims to build a higher-quality and more sustainable urban environment together.

TELOSIN Introduces “The Dual Transformation,” Pairing Y PRO Red and Y PRO Blue with the New Lumiactive Collection

Published

on

The new skincare system brings together FDA-cleared, NASA-inspired light technology, complementary formulations and award-winning patented design by Karim Rashid, following a Hong Kong launch attended by more than 2,000 guests

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – TELOSIN has introduced “The Dual Transformation,” a new approach to personalised at-home skincare built around two dedicated light-based beauty devices—the Y PRO Red and Y PRO Blue—and the complementary Lumiactive Collection.

The launch brings together advanced light-based technology, targeted skincare formulations and award-winning patented design created in collaboration with internationally acclaimed designer Karim Rashid.

Rather than incorporating multiple generalised modes within a single device, TELOSIN developed two distinct devices and two dedicated skincare pathways.

Y PRO Red is designed for a rejuvenation-focused skincare routine, supporting the appearance of firmness, texture and radiance.

Y PRO Blue is designed for routines focused on blemish-prone, oily or visibly unsettled skin.

The devices combine FDA-cleared technology with light-based innovation inspired by scientific developments associated with NASA research.

Introducing the Lumiactive Collection

The Y PRO devices are accompanied by the new Lumiactive Collection, comprising:

  • LUMIRED Red LED Treatment Gel
  • LUMIBLUE Blue LED Treatment Gel
  • Blue Light Defense Cream

Together, the devices and complementary formulations establish TELOSIN’s connected Prepare, Treat, Protect approach to skincare.

The dedicated Lumiactive treatment gels are designed to prepare the skin for the corresponding Y PRO routine, while Blue Light Defense Cream completes the ritual as part of the brand’s wider daily skincare approach.

By developing the devices and formulations as one connected collection, TELOSIN aims to make advanced light-based skincare easier to understand, personalise and incorporate into regular at-home routines.

The result is a complete ecosystem built around two targeted transformations: a red-light pathway focused on rejuvenation and a blue-light pathway focused on skin clarity and balance.

Scientific Insight Behind TELOSIN

TELOSIN has expanded the scientific conversation surrounding the launch through its expert video series, “The Science Behind Telosin,” available on the brand’s website.

The series features expert perspectives from two medical professionals:

Dr. Omer Wolf, MD, a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery and advanced facial aesthetic procedures.

Dr. Uri Berger, MD, a specialist in aesthetic medicine with extensive international medical training and experience.

Through the expert series, TELOSIN provides consumers with accessible information about the principles behind light-based skincare and the evolving relationship between professional aesthetic knowledge, beauty technology and at-home routines.

The inclusion of medical perspectives within the wider educational programme reflects TELOSIN’s commitment to supporting product innovation through informed scientific discussion and responsible consumer education.

Award-Winning Patented Design by Karim Rashid

DSC05589-2.jpg

The Y PRO Red and Y PRO Blue were created in collaboration with Karim Rashid, one of the world’s most recognised contemporary designers.

The devices feature award-winning patented design that combines Rashid’s distinctive visual language with TELOSIN’s advanced beauty technology.

Their fluid silhouettes, individual colour identities and ergonomic forms were developed not simply to contain sophisticated technology, but to transform the devices into desirable contemporary objects that can become a natural part of the user’s daily beauty environment.

The collaboration reflects TELOSIN’s belief that advanced skincare devices should deliver a sophisticated combination of performance, simplicity, comfort and emotional connection.

“The Dual Transformation” Unveiled to More Than 2,000 Guests in Hong Kong

The complete collection was officially presented on 30 June 2026 through “The Dual Transformation,” an immersive launch experience held at WTC Mall in Hong Kong.

The large-scale event welcomed more than 2,000 guests, including consumers, members of the Hong Kong media, influencers, beauty industry professionals and invited partners.

The launch featured internationally acclaimed designer Karim Rashid, MIRROR member Ian Chan, celebrated actress and singer Linda Chung, and Dr. Harvey Ho.

Karim Rashid introduced the creative thinking behind the award-winning patented design of the devices, while Dr. Harvey Ho discussed the different applications and skincare pathways associated with red and blue light technology.

Ian Chan and Linda Chung joined the launch presentation to experience the two routines and demonstrate how the Y PRO devices and complementary Lumiactive formulations can be incorporated into contemporary at-home skincare.

“The Dual Transformation demonstrates that advanced beauty technology does not need to feel clinical or complicated,” said Dr. Harvey Ho.

“By bringing together two dedicated light-based devices with complementary Lumiactive formulations, TELOSIN has created a more focused and intuitive approach to at-home skincare. The distinction between the red and blue light pathways also helps consumers better understand how different technologies can support different skincare needs.”

With more than 2,000 guests attending, the event marked a major public introduction of TELOSIN’s broader product ecosystem: two targeted devices, three complementary skincare formulations and one connected approach to personalised light-based skincare.

A Complete Dual Skincare System

With Y PRO Red, Y PRO Blue and the Lumiactive Collection, TELOSIN is introducing more than two individual beauty devices.

“The Dual Transformation” represents a complete skincare system built around clearly defined objectives, dedicated formulations and award-winning patented design.

It reflects the brand’s wider ambition to make sophisticated light-based technology more personalised, intuitive and accessible, while maintaining the premium design experience expected by contemporary beauty consumers.

SearchInform: A Risky Game – How FIFA World Cup 2026 Led to Mass Corporate Data Leaks

Published

on

Experts claim that corporate employees in Southeast Asia are neglecting cybersecurity rules due to their love for football, leading to an increase in fraud cases.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – Although the tournament itself took place in North America, Asia’s massive football fan base created the perfect conditions for data leaks.

Fraudsters are capitalizing on football fans by creating fake streaming platforms and malicious Android applications that steal saved passwords and account credentials directly from browsers. Criminals are also setting up fraudulent websites, as well as sending phishing emails to company employees disguised as gifts, promotions, and office betting pools.

During major global events, the corporate security perimeter is under huge stress,” said Francis Yeoh, Country Director at SearchInform Malaysia. “Employees access streaming websites from corporate devices to watch matches live. Traditional network-edge security is insufficient—the real danger comes from the employee side of the fence. Employees could watch a translation on a malware-infested website, they could download streaming applications with hidden malware, or use corporate credentials to register for fraudulent giveaways.”

According to Group-IB and the FBI, from August 2025 to June 2026, more than 4,300 fake websites were registered fully mimicking FIFA interfaces, ticketing systems, streaming platforms, and World Cup employment portals.

How Organizations Can Reduce Cyber Risks During Football Season

  • Monitor the use of corporate devices. Remind employees that corporate workstations should not be used for personal purposes, including streaming, downloading unofficial apps, or visiting suspicious websites. This measure alone can help reduce exposure to many malware threats.
  • Strengthen password security. Monitor risky password practices, as some employees may reuse corporate credentials for personal services. If one of these services is compromised, corporate accounts and systems may be put at risk as well.
  • Enforce multi-factor authentication. Apply MFA for privileged employees on a regular basis and temporarily strengthen authentication requirements for remote employees during high-risk periods. This provides an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access.
  • Monitor data access patterns. Track who accesses critical information, from where, and monitor its transmission to prevent data loss. Make sure protection also covers cloud services, as corporate data is no longer limited to on-premises storage.

Building on the strong momentum of INSP MIHAS 2025, which generated RM3.63 billion in sales, this year’s edition is seeing strong international buyer interest, reinforcing MIHAS’ position as a leading global halal trade platform. INSP MIHAS 2026 features key products and services categories including:

Beyond the conventional halal food and beverage segment, this year’s edition is also seeing growing interest in services sectors.

INSP MIHAS connects pre-qualified international buyers with Malaysian halal product and service exporters through pre-arranged one-on-one business meetings across key halal sectors. As buyer meeting slots are limited and allocated through a structured matching process, Malaysian companies are strongly encouraged to register early via the online portal.

According to MATRADE’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr. Abu Bakar Yusof, “Since the inception of MIHAS in 2004, the International Sourcing Programme (INSP) has generated over RM20.62 billion in export sales for Malaysian companies, with the participation of nearly 8,000 international buyers, benefiting 10,600 Malaysian sellers through 67,200 structured business meetings.

For this year, we are targeting the participation of approximately 300 buyers, of which 50 are premium buyers, reflecting our commitment to attracting high-quality decision-makers and creating greater business opportunities for Malaysian companies. We are also targeting RM2 billion in export sales under the INSP component for MIHAS 2026. To date, we have received interest from more than 500 international buyers across 55 economies, and we encourage Malaysian companies to register early to maximise their business matching opportunities.”

MIHAS 2026 is expected to generate total sales of RM4.50 billion, including export sales from the INSP. “As it stands, 15% of the interested buyers comprise returning buyers, demonstrating sustained confidence in Malaysian exporters and the compelling value proposition they continue to offer in global markets,” he added. This year’s INSP has attracted buyers from 55 different economies.

Malaysian exporters can register through the INSP MIHAS online portal and MADANI Digital Trade Platform (MDTP) before 31st July 2026 and take advantage of one of MIHAS’ most impactful business matching initiatives.
