  • Hong Kong Design Centre Unveils ‘From Memory to Horizon: The Visual Language of Hong Kong Tourism’

    A Landmark Exhibition Exploring Seven Decades of How Hong Kong Told Its Story to the World

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2026 – Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC), with the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA) as lead sponsor, proudly presents ‘From Memory to Horizon: The Visual Language of Hong Kong Tourism’. On view from 23 April to 6 July 2026 at The Design Museum, DX design hub, the exhibition is led by designer David Lo as lead curator, with design artifact collector John Wu as co-curator. Tracing how Hong Kong has, since the 1950s, carefully shaped its tourism image and city identity through design, imagery and storytelling, the exhibition highlights the foundations of Hong Kong’s international presence. In collaboration with partners across aviation, hospitality and the creative industries, it showcases rare visual archives the distinctive value of Hong Kong design.

    Tourism has long been woven into the fabric of Hong Kong’s identity, embodying the spirit of a ‘city of hospitality’. Yet the cross-regional appeal did not emerge by chance. Long before the age of the internet and social media, countless people who had never set foot in Hong Kong were inspired by a poster, a hand-drawn illustration, or an advertisement to feel a desire to visit. This very question forms the core theme and starting point of the exhibition.

    Ms. Rainy Chan, Executive Director of Hong Kong Design Centre, remarked: ‘This exhibition, built on a rich collection of historical visuals and stories, underscores the profound role tourism has played in shaping Hong Kong’s identity. “From Memory to Horizon” reflects Hong Kong Design Centre’s mission to champion creativity through cross-sector collaboration, showcasing how design connects our shared heritage with future opportunities. We invite both local and international audiences to engage with the enduring spirit and ingenuity of Hong Kong, and to appreciate how the city’s visual language of tourism continues to inspire new possibilities.’

    Curators David Lo and John Wu added: ‘For decades, we have rarely paused to closely examine how visual design, language, and creative strategies have been used to present Hong Kong to the world. The aesthetics behind these efforts are both elegant and precise. Through Western eyes, Hong Kong shines as a dazzling, multifaceted “Pearl of the Orient”; through local eyes, it embodies deeply rooted values and memories. This exhibition offers audiences a chance to experience Hong Kong anew, through intersecting visual narratives that reveal how design has shaped its global image.’

    Five Themed Spaces: A City in Motion

    To present the richly layered urban landscape of Hong Kong, the exhibition is organised into five thematic zones. From the very first step, the exhibition design gently transports visitors across time and space, guiding them on a carefully choreographed visual journey.

    Zone 1 – The Names of Hong Kong:

    Every story begins with a name. As visitors enter, a cascade of titles and typographic forms unfolds. From ‘Fragrant Harbour’ to ‘Pearl of the Orient’, each nickname reflects a particular era’s identity and imagination for the city, serving as a calling card that Hong Kong presented to the world at different moments in its history.

    Zone 2 – Hong Kong is Our Home:

    This zone features promotional materials from local carriers and official association to show how Hong Kong was simultaneously constructed as ‘home’ and ‘destination’. From the abstract, exotic visuals of the 1950s and 60s to the more vivid and realistic cityscapes of the 1980s and 90s, Hong Kong was portrayed as a source of pride for its residents and a place of longing for those who had never set foot here.

    Zone 3 – Hong Kong in the Movies:

    Using hand-drawn illustrations in the style of movie posters, this zone weaves Hong Kong’s everyday urban scenes into a collage of a complex, multi-faceted city. Iconic Eastern and Western characters set against the Victoria Harbour skyline reveal how cinema transformed ordinary street scenes into irreplaceable visual symbols in the memories of audiences worldwide.

    Zone 4 – Hotels and Tourism Visions:

    Long before international chains arrived, homegrown hotels played a crucial role in bridging East and West. The film ‘The World of Suzie Wong’ brought the century-old hotel Lok Kwok Hotel (now known as Gloucester Luk Kwok Hong Kong) to global attention, turning it into a pilgrimage site for film lovers. From The Peninsula Hong Kong and Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong to the now vanished The Excelsior, Hong Kong, hotel brand identities and graphic design allowed visitors, from the moment they arrived, to experience Hong Kong’s distinctive blend of luxury, business efficiency, and cosmopolitan urban life.

    Zone 5 – Green Horizons:

    Hong Kong has never been only neon lights and skyscrapers. Beyond the city’s glittering façade lies another Hong Kong – one revealed along long-distance hiking trails, in Mai Po, and across the country parks, where mountains, forests, mudflats, and wetlands also featured in tourism imagery. These natural landscapes remind us that Hong Kong has always been more expansive than we tend to imagine.

    Exhibition details:

    Exhibition Name: From Memory to Horizon: The Visual Language of Hong Kong Tourism
    Exhibition Period: 23 April to 6 July 2026
    Opening Hours: 11 am – 7 pm (Closed on Tuesdays, except Public Holidays)
    Venue: The Design Museum, 2/F, DX design hub

HKSTP showcased 10 park companies presenting breakthrough public safety solutions and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Singapore’s TechX Ventures (TechX, a private subsidiary by the HTX – Home Team Science and Technology Agency of Singapore) — HKSTP’s first MoU signed with an organization in Southeast Asia — establishing a structured framework to advance cross-border innovation partnerships focused on practical applications in public safety.

    Singapore and Hong Kong share a substantive relationship, grounded in regular high-level engagement. These include the Prime Minister of Singapore’s official visit to Hong Kong last month, during which he met with the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and visited the Hong Kong Park of the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Co-operation Zone (the Hong Kong Park in the Loop). The I&T connection also features HKSTP-led delegations to Singapore platforms such as Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) and SLINGSHOT 2025, etc. Over the past year, more than 100 HKSTP park companies explored Southeast Asian opportunities, securing over HK$25 million in confirmed business deals with additional potential contracts exceeding HK$20 million directly supported by HKSTP.

This MoU marks the beginning of something lasting: a structured pipeline that turns innovation into operational impact, as we work together to build a safer world.”

    The collaboration between HKSTP and TechX is aimed to establish a comprehensive framework to identify, co-create, and validate operational public safety solutions. Under the partnership, HKSTP and its counterparts will move from identified needs to real deployment through annual solution scouting visits to Hong Kong Science Park, funding of around HK$600,000 (S$100,000) per company for proof-of-concept trials with Singapore Public Safety experts, and an ongoing exchange of challenges and insights. This demand-led model accelerates problem-solution fit and reinforces HKSTP’s leadership in regional safety technology collaboration.

    The HKSTP Pavilion, themed “Hong Kong’s Technology for Public Safety and Security — Global Application and Global Impact,” featured 10 park companies showcasing solutions proven in deployments across Hong Kong enforcement departments, the Greater Bay Area, and Singapore-related projects. Cutting-edge public safety technologies were showcased across AI-Driven & Robotics, Network & Communications Infrastructure, and Drones, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) & Low-altitude Economy (LAE). MTX is the largest public safety conference in Southeast Asia, the HKSTP pavilion is strategically positioned within the startup-centric SPINN District, effectively facilitated targeted engagements, secured curated matching opportunities with Singapore government agencies for each participating company, and advanced pilot projects and partnerships.

    Park companies eSIX and Weitu AI participated in the signature global innovation challenge Dimension X Cohort 6 and the inaugural cohort of the In-Beta tech verification capability programme organized by Hatch, the innovation centre of Singapore’s HTX, achieving significant success. These companies were the only Hong Kong representatives selected for the programmes, underscoring the global competitiveness and real-world impact of Hong Kong’s innovation ecosystem. eSIX, which delivers patented high-speed networking for Industrial IoT and 5G-enabled remote machine control, was awarded a place at Dimension X. The company received S$100,000 in prize money to complete a four-month proof-of-concept and was invited to showcase its solutions. Weitu AI, which provides world-leading multimodal video understanding for fast, accurate analysis across industries was awarded a place at In-Beta, received S$30,000 in prize money with opportunities to verify their promising tech through rapid experimentation and onsite demo.

    Building on existing engagement across the region, HKSTP will continue to strengthen collaboration with regional partners, expand support for park companies, and promote technology‑driven solutions that enhance safety and resilience. The initiative reflects HKSTP’s ongoing commitment to fostering sustained innovation and regional cooperation.

  • SIM Global Education Showcases Project 1095 Through Student Clubs

    SIM Global Education Showcases Project 1095 Through Student Clubs

    SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2026 – As higher education continues to evolve beyond academic achievement, Singapore Institute of Management Global Education (SIM GE) is reinforcing its commitment to holistic student development through Project 1095, a strategic initiative designed to maximise every day of a student’s three-year university journey.

    Built on the belief that university life extends far beyond lectures and examinations, Project 1095 represents SIM GE’s vision of a fully integrated student experience where academic learning is complemented by co-curricular engagement leadership development and personal growth. At the heart of this initiative lies a vibrant ecosystem of student clubs which play a pivotal role in shaping a meaningful and transformative university experience.

    With more than 80 student led clubs across sports arts culture special interest groups and student governance SIM GE provides students with diverse opportunities to explore their passions, build communities and develop essential life skills.

    A Structured Approach to Holistic Education

    Project 1095 named after the 1095 days that make up a typical three-year university programme offers a structured framework that encourages students to make the most of their time on campus. Rather than viewing student life as supplementary, SIM GE positions it as an integral part of the educational journey.

    Through this framework student clubs serve as practical platforms for experiential learning, enabling students to apply classroom knowledge in real world settings. Whether organising large scale campus events, leading committees or collaborating with peers from diverse backgrounds, students gain hands on experience that fosters confidence, adaptability and resilience.

    Fostering Belonging in a Diverse Campus Community

    Beyond skills development, student clubs are instrumental in cultivating a strong sense of belonging among SIM GE’s diverse student population. With a wide range of international cultural and interest-based groups, students can connect with like-minded peers while also broadening their perspectives through cross cultural interaction.

    Project 1095 emphasises this aspect of community building, recognising that a supportive and engaging campus environment contributes significantly to overall student wellbeing and success. By participating in club activities students are encouraged to form meaningful relationships and create lasting memories throughout their university journey in SIM.

    Preparing Future Ready Graduates

    As employers increasingly seek graduates with strong interpersonal and leadership skills, SIM GE’s focus on co-curricular engagement aligns closely with industry expectations. Through its student clubs and Project 1095 framework, students actively take on roles such as organising campus wide events, leading club committees, managing projects and collaborating with peers across diverse backgrounds. These hands-on experiences enable students to develop critical competencies including leadership, communication, teamwork and problem solving in real world settings. For instance, students gain practical exposure by planning large scale events, coordinating with stakeholders and taking ownership of initiatives, allowing them to translate classroom knowledge into actionable skills.

    Through Project 1095, SIM GE aims to produce well rounded graduates who are not only academically prepared but also equipped with confidence and global outlook needed to thrive in an evolving workforce.

    Making Everyday Count

    Project 1095 underscores SIM GE’s belief that university is more than earning a degree, it is about making every one of the 1095 days meaningful. By embedding student clubs and co-curricular experiences into the student journey, SIM GE delivers a holistic education that goes beyond the classroom. Through these experiences, students are empowered to grow, build connections and develop the skills needed to thrive in a dynamic global environment.

  • A Diamond Is Forever Partnered With Artifex Bride By Kindred Lubeck To Bring Desert Diamonds To The Tanner Fletcher Wedding Runway Show

    A Diamond Is Forever Partnered With Artifex Bride By Kindred Lubeck To Bring Desert Diamonds To The Tanner Fletcher Wedding Runway Show

    This marks the debut of Artifex Bride

    NEW YORK, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2026 – A Diamond Is Forever partnered with Artifex Bride by Kindred Lubeck to bring Desert diamonds to the Tanner Fletcher Wedding Runway Show during NYC Bridal Week, reinforcing its continued commitment to championing emerging design talent.

    .

    The theatrical wedding and formalwear runway show, designed by Tanner Richie and Fletcher Kasell, took place on April 8th at St. Bartholomew’s Church. As part of the show, A Diamond is Forever brought Desert diamonds to the runway from its creative community, featuring Artifex Bride – and the debut of Kindred Lubeck’s first-ever bridal collection.

    The collaboration reflects A Diamond is Forever’s role as curator—bringing together diverse creative voices to reinforce the enduring relevance and appeal of natural diamonds in today’s evolving bridal landscape.

    Kindred Lubeck launched Artifex Bride on April 10th, following the global launch of A Diamond is Forever bridal campaign. The collection introduces nine rings, including classic engagement rings and wedding bands, along with five pieces of classic bridal jewelry, including a stylized tennis bracelet, drop earrings and a pendant necklace, each centered around antique-inspired natural diamonds in warm tones and featuring her hallmark engraving technique. The night provided a directionally romantic look for brides today, embodying the enduring beauty and individuality championed by A Diamond is Forever.

    From Taylor Swift’s Engagement Ring to Bridal Collection Debut

    Historically, Kindred has focused solely on one-of-a-kind pieces, the most recent of which were auctioned at Sotheby’s. After widespread attention following Taylor Swift’s engagement, Lubeck faced pressure to release a bridal line immediately. But Kindred moves with intention. This capsule is the result of months of design development and careful stone selection. It marks her first step toward creating accessibility within her notoriously exclusive brand, which normally services only ten commissions per year.

    Kindred’s approach to stone selection is deeply intuitive. The entire collection is built around antique cuts, the so-called candlelight diamonds with big, chunky facets that catch and hold the light in a way modern stones simply don’t. She sorted through hundreds of natural diamonds with warm, desert tones and chose seven that she felt were the most timeless and relevant. Her particular fondness for the elongated old mine cushion comes down to two things: the elegance of the shape, and the romantic intrigue of antique cutting.

    As demand for Kindred’s work has grown, custom commissions have become increasingly hard to come by. It was important to her to create an avenue for people to find her work in the bridal category. Her limited drop model means an Artifex piece will always be rare, but no waitlist or custom order is required to get one. While the engagement rings are ready-to-ship, the five bridal pieces will be made-to-order in limited quantities.

    Featuring an engraved tennis bracelet and hoop earrings, these bridal pieces mark new territory for the brand. Kindred intended to create jewellery that could be worn the day of, and every day after that, a reflection of the modern bride’s desire to invest in pieces that transcend the wedding day. The collection brings signature engraved elements to new categories; though varied in form, all the pieces have intricated, handcrafted techniques that are core to Kindred’s aesthetic and background as a goldsmith.

    Kindred has retained full ownership of Artifex since its inception, because creative control is central to everything she does. That independence shapes how the brand grows, deliberately and on her own terms. Looking ahead, she plans to release a limited bridal collection on a quarterly basis, each one a continuation of the same obsessive attention to stone and craft that defines every Artifex piece.

    A Contemporary Expression of “Forever”

    The collaboration between A Diamond Is Forever and Artifex Bride goes beyond partnership—it offers a contemporary interpretation of what “forever” truly signifies. Not uniform perfection, but character shaped by time; not excessive brilliance, but a warmth that quietly endures. Like Desert diamonds, each piece embodies gentle strength and individuality, echoing the singular paths, promises, and stories of the couples who choose them.

    XecGuard provides real-time detection of potential risks in Agentic AI and LLMs, achieving management visibility through quantified metrics.

    Navigate Top 10 Risks of Agentic AI as Security Demand Surges

    OWASP has long been dedicated to promoting global software security standards, with its “OWASP Top 10” regarded as a vital industry benchmark. As AI adoption accelerates, the AI security frameworks proposed by OWASP have become essential for global enterprises evaluating AI risks. The recently published OWASP 2026 Top 10 Risks for Agentic Applications points out that since the second half of 2025, the rapid rise of Agentic AI has introduced new threats beyond traditional LLM risks, such as “Agent Goal Hijack,” “Tool Misuse and Exploitation,” and “Rogue Agents.”

    As enterprises accelerate the deployment of Generative AI and AI Agents, risks such as model misuse, Prompt Injection, data leakage, and autonomous agent malfunctions are escalating rapidly. AI security has shifted from an optional add-on to a fundamental component of corporate infrastructure. Being included in the OWASP global landscape signifies that CyCraft’s product capabilities have garnered significant attention and validation from the international community.

    From Testing to Operations: CyCraft Builds a Closed-Loop AI Security Ecosystem

    CyCraft’s core philosophy is “AI Safety is a standard, not an option,” echoing OWASP’s direction of seamlessly integrating security defenses into AI development and operational lifecycles. XecART and XecGuard provide comprehensive protection across critical enterprise AI deployment scenarios:

    • Test & Evaluate: XecART conducts multi-turn dialogue testing and autonomous Red Teaming for risks such as target misalignment, Prompt Injection, and tool abuse. It helps enterprises verify that AI Agents remain secure, stable, and compliant within complex multi-agent environments.
    • Operation: XecGuard provides continuous monitoring and analysis of dialogue content to detect whether AI Agents are being induced to execute Tool Calls that deviate from their assigned tasks or generate unsafe workflows. Furthermore, XecGuard offers both API and Gateway modes to meet diverse industry requirements for regulation, data sovereignty, and deployment, allowing for rapid integration with existing AI applications, agent architectures, and internal workflows.

    Empower Developers: XecGuard Community Support Program

    To further empower the AI developer community, CyCraft is now launching the XecGuard Community Support Program (CSP). Eligible open-source project maintainers and contributors can receive a free three-month subscription to XecGuard Lite upon successful application, with no fees required during the program period.

    【How to Apply】Please fill out the form at the application website: https://go.cycraft.ai/xecguard-csp

    Benson Wu, CEO and Co-founder of CyCraft, stated: “Our inclusion in the OWASP landscape confirms that CyCraft’s innovative energy aligns with the global needs of AI development. We have fully integrated Red Team validation and Blue Team governance into enterprise DevOps and SecOps workflows, providing world-class solutions for emerging risks in LLMs and Agentic AI. Security should not be a barrier to AI innovation, but rather the engine that accelerates it. We sincerely invite global AI pioneers to join hands with CyCraft, ensuring every step of your AI roadmap can move forward with confidence and speed.”

    Market expectations suggest that AI security will become one of the fastest-growing sectors in corporate cybersecurity spending. CyCraft’s continued recognition by major international organizations not only highlights Taiwan’s R&D prowess in AI security but also bolsters the company’s expansion into overseas markets to capture new opportunities in the AI era.
