HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 April 2026 – Within the context of a new global growth cycle, Vietnam is cementing its position as a strategic hub for global institutional capital. At the ‘Inbound Capital Flows’ forum, analysts underscored that Vinhomes is making a significant contribution to shaping the next generation of urban development and also addressing critical mass challenges in the Asian property sector. Through ‘urban marvels’ like Vinhomes Green Paradise, Vietnam is effectively repositioning itself as a leader in large-scale, infrastructure-led real estate on the world map.

Vietnam’s Macroeconomic Resilience Amid Global Volatility

Amid global volatility, geopolitical fragmentation, and monetary tightening cycles, Vietnam has distinguished itself as a rare convergence of macroeconomic stability and long-term growth potential. International analysts now recognize the country as a strategic hub for institutional capital.

Political consistency is the bedrock of Vietnam’s appeal. The country’s high-growth trajectory is underpinned by strong governance coherence, with a unified government that minimizes execution risk. Over the past five years, a series of legal reforms have strengthened land valuation transparency, financial discipline, and environmental compliance. These regulatory improvements systematically align Vietnam’s real estate market with international institutional standards.

Infrastructure investment serves as another structural catalyst. With public investment reaching approximately 7% of GDP, Vietnam is undertaking one of the region’s most aggressive infrastructure expansion programs. Flagship projects such as Long Thanh International Airport, Cai Mep deep-sea port, and metropolitan ring roads are not merely improving connectivity, they are fundamentally reshaping spatial economics and unlocking new real estate frontiers.

Urbanization further amplifies this trajectory. Unlike many regional peers that have reached saturation, Vietnam remains in an early-to-mid stage of urban transformation, creating a sustained demand pipeline for residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. From a capital markets perspective, Vietnam demonstrates stronger growth across key indicators compared to neighboring countries, with robust FDI inflows and a favorable demographic profile positioning it as a top-tier emerging market in Asia’s real estate investment landscape.

Vinhomes Green Paradise (Can Gio): A New Urban Wonder of Asia

As global investor preferences shift from fragmented, single-asset developments toward integrated urban ecosystems, Vinhomes has emerged as a master developer capable of delivering internationally competitive megaprojects. At the center of this evolution is Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio, a coastal development that international experts describe as unmatched in Asia.

Infrastructure plays a catalytic role in unlocking such projects. The transformation driven by Long Thanh Airport and Cai Mep Port significantly improves accessibility to Can Gio, redefining peripheral land into high-value development corridors. Vietnam’s coastal real estate, long overlooked, now offers a unique opportunity to develop globally competitive destinations, provided they are master-planned and executed at scale.

The defining factor is achieving critical mass. A large-scale integrated development that combines education, healthcare, entertainment, and residential zones within a single master plan is what truly differentiates a project. This philosophy is embedded from inception in Vinhomes’ development model. From an international vantage point, investors are increasingly looking for “urban wonders”, destinations that act as economic engines and catalysts for regional development. Vinhomes Green Paradise is regarded as truly a wonder, featuring world-class infrastructure and amenities.

Stephen Higgins, representing Cushman & Wakefield, emphasized the project’s unique positioning: “There is currently nowhere else in Asia delivering a project like Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio, located adjacent to an existing major city.”

When benchmarked against global icons such as Marina Bay Sands and Palm Jumeirah, the project signals Vietnam’s emergence as a new frontier for landmark urban developments. In this paradigm, Vinhomes transcends the role of a conventional developer, positioning itself as a place-maker that engineers destination ecosystems, an increasingly critical concept in global real estate investment strategy.

Competitive Advantages of Scale, Pricing, and a Strategic Entry Point

A defining characteristic of Vietnam’s real estate market is the rare combination of high growth potential and relatively attractive pricing at scale. With a population of 100 million and a median age of 32, ideal within the region, Vietnam benefits from a demographic dividend that underpins long-term housing demand, absorption rates, and market liquidity.

Vietnam’s strategic geographic positioning near major economic hubs such as China, Singapore, and Hong Kong enhances its role within regional supply chains and capital flows. Importantly, the country can deliver world-class developments at a much more competitive price point. This pricing arbitrage creates significant upside potential as the market continues to mature and converge toward regional benchmarks.

Scale is another decisive factor. Mega-scale developments exceeding 1,000 hectares provide a rare opportunity to design entirely new urban environments. Globally, such large contiguous land parcels are increasingly scarce, making Vietnam one of the few markets capable of delivering next-generation master-planned cities. Within this landscape, Vingroup stands out as a dominant force, with Vinhomes at the forefront of executing these large-scale visions. By integrating residential, commercial, and smart-city infrastructure within a unified master plan, Vinhomes is not merely supplying real estate, it is institutionalizing a new asset class for global investors.

Highlighting the requirements for market competitiveness, Troy Griffiths from Savills stated: “Vietnam must compete through pricing, quality, and the value delivered within a master-planned estate.“ When these three pillars converge, real estate evolves from a transactional asset into a long-term value platform.

With global capital increasingly reallocating toward markets with structural growth and scalable opportunities, Vietnam is transitioning from an emerging destination to a strategic investment hub.

As a central figure in this transition, Vinhomes is playing a significant role in evolving Vietnam’s urban landscape and elevating the nation’s standing within the global real estate sector.

New initiative equips finance, audit and accounting professionals with immediately applicable AI skill from Excel automation to AI agents as demand for practical AI capability accelerates across the region

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 April 2026 – As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly shifts from experimentation to everyday business use, the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) Academy has launched a hands-on AI training programme across ASEAN to address the region’s growing skills gap in finance and accounting.

Designed for immediate workplace application, the new programme equips finance, audit, and accounting professionals with practical AI capabilities, from automating Excel workflows and extracting data from documents to building dashboards, generating presentations, and deploying AI agents to support complex processes.

Developed in partnership with Singapore-based AI training specialist Skybots, the programme focuses on real-world tasks using widely accessible tools such as Microsoft Copilot, enabling participants to deliver tangible productivity gains from day one.

Leveraging ISCA’s network of overseas offices, the initiative will be rolled out across key ASEAN markets including Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, with an initial target to train 2,500 finance professionals in the first phase, positioning Singapore as a regional hub for applied AI capability in finance.

Ms Cyndi Pei, Chairperson of ISCA Academy, said the programme represents a strategic response to a rapidly evolving profession: “The window for treating AI as a theoretical topic is closing. Finance professionals across ASEAN are now expected to apply AI in their daily work — safely, effectively, and immediately. ISCA Academy is stepping up to lead this transformation regionally, ensuring professionals across Southeast Asia have access to practical training that delivers real outcomes, not just awareness.”

Immediate Impact in the Workplace

Unlike traditional AI programmes that focus on concepts, ISCA Academy’s approach is fully task-based. Participants work on real scenarios such as financial analysis, document review, reporting, and workflow automation, producing outputs they can directly replicate in their roles. Across pilot sessions, participants have reported completing tasks in minutes that previously took hours, a shift that compounds quickly across teams and reporting cycles.

A key differentiator is its emphasis on responsible AI use, embedding considerations of confidentiality, ethics, compliance, and governance into every module, which are critical for regulated professions.

Early pilot sessions have demonstrated measurable impact. Dr Jenny Tan, Head of Group Internal Audit at CapitaLand, noted: “What stood out about the Practical AI programme was how hands-on and relevant it was. Rather than focusing on theory, our staff came away with techniques they could use from day one and we have observed a real shift in how our team approaches their daily work.”

Built for Mainstream Professionals

The programme is designed for broad accessibility, requiring no coding knowledge or significant technology investment. Participants learn to leverage free and low-cost AI tools to enhance productivity and output quality.

Mr Daryl Aw, Founder and Director of Skybots, who brings a unique background as both a Chartered Accountant and three-time UiPath Most Valuable Professional (MVP), said the programme demystifies AI for finance professionals: “There is a common misconception that AI requires technical expertise or large budgets. In reality, the tools are already available. What professionals need is the confidence and practical know-how to apply them effectively and responsibly. This programme is built to deliver exactly that.”

Regional Rollout and Expansion

The first phase of the programme launches in mid-April, focusing on audit, accounting and finance professionals across the private sector, public sector and charities. A second phase in the third quarter will expand coverage to additional sectors including tax, corporate secretarial, human resources, banking and finance, and legal.

Through its regional network, ISCA Academy aims to train finance professionals across ASEAN and support broader efforts to accelerate digital upskilling and strengthen workforce competitiveness.

A Broader Shift Across Industries

The initiative reflects a wider transformation across ASEAN, where AI adoption is expanding beyond technology teams into core business functions. Finance, public sector, and corporate professionals are increasingly using AI for practical applications such as extracting insights from unstructured data, streamlining compliance workflows including KYC and AML checks, and automating reporting processes.

The message from ISCA Academy and Skybots is consistent: meaningful AI adoption does not require large budgets or deep technical expertise. With the right training, professionals across ASEAN can begin generating real value from AI from day one.

With robust lineup of medical conventions in 2026

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 April 2026 – Marking yet another milestone as the World’s Meeting Place, Hong Kong became the first city outside Chinese Mainland to host the nation’s largest conference on chest pain centres – the 15^th China Chest Pain Centers Congress (CCPCC 2026), thanks to the effort of Hong Kong Convention Ambassador (HKCA) appointed by the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB).

Together with two other high-profile and hugely successful medical congresses – the 41^st Asia Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology Congress in February and the 17^th Asian Congress of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in March, Hong Kong’s medical science events space was off to a strong start in 2026.

Ms Marilyn Tham, General Manager of Mega Events, MICE & Cruise of the HKTB said, “Hong Kong’s leading edge in medical sciences coupled with the city’s world-class venues and destination appeal have enabled notable success for internationally significant medical events. CCPCC 2026 is one of the large-scale medical conventions confirmed for 2026. Such robust lineup reflects event organisers’ confidence in Hong Kong as a premier hub for advancing global exchanges on medical sciences.”

Over 10 medical conventions have secured a spot in Hong Kong this year, spanning diverse disciplines, from cytology to oncology, antimicrobial resistance and more (see full list below). The breadth and depth of the events reflects Hong Kong’s growing appeal as the premier convention hub where global medical minds meet.

Globalising Chest Pain Leadership from Hong Kong

Held on 3-4 April 2026 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre with a concurrent venue in Shenzhen, CCPCC 2026 converged 3,000 healthcare leaders, physicians, nurses, researchers, policymakers and industry experts from Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, the Belt and Road countries and beyond. The rich topics explored across two days encompassed cutting-edge healthcare innovations, AI-assisted clinical decision-making, intelligent emergency response systems and international accreditation standards.

Co-organised by Hospital Authority (HA) of Hong Kong, the National Clinical Research Center for Interventional Medicine, the Guangdong Chest Pain Centers Association, the Chinese Cardiovascular Association (CCA) and Oriental Huaxia Cardiovascular Health Research Institute (OHCHRI), Suzhou Industrial Park, CCPCC 2026 showcased conducive partnership.

Mr. Wenming Zeng, Secretary-General of OHCHRI, remarked, “The global influence of CCPCC has been growing over the years. Thanks to Hong Kong’s strategic location, leading medical standing and its unique role bridging Chinese Mainland and the world, this year’s congress has drawn even wider global participation, giving the event greater international significance. Hong Kong has helped showcase our event to the world, taking cardiovascular emergency intervention to a new height globally.”

A Launchpad for Mainland-spearheaded International Standards

Capitalising on Hong Kong’s strengths as a super-connector for fostering globalisation, CCPCC 2026 released for the first time the “International Standards on Chest Pain Center Construction and Accreditation”, marking Mainland’s global leadership in cutting-edge cardiovascular emergency intervention. Leveraging Hong Kong’s internationalisation, the efforts to foster global policy support and implementation of the standards will contribute to fair, accessible and timely intervention for cardiovascular emergencies around the world.

Another Significant Win for HKCA Programme on its 5^th Anniversary

As a HKTB-appointed HKCA, Prof Lu Shi-Juan, who is a Member of Hainan Medical Association Cardiovascular Professional Committee, played an instrumental role in bringing CCPCC 2026 to Hong Kong. This marked the latest success story of the HKCA programme, as HKTB celebrated the programme’s milestone 5^th anniversary with a HKCA Networking Cocktail Event on 31 March, 2026.

Prof Lu noted, “As a Hong Kong International Convention Ambassador, I have worked closely with the HKTB to bring CCPCC to Hong Kong, which is a gateway to the global stage. Hosting the conference here showcases how Hong Kong can elevate Mainland conferences internationally, foster cross‑border knowledge exchange and help shape the future development of the broader medical and professional community.”

The HKCA programme bands together over 170 local and mainland sector leaders of 13 industries and academics to champion Hong Kong as the World’s Meeting Place. Their initiative and connections have helped Hong Kong secure 50 convention wins that have brought in nearly 100,000 high-value overnight MICE visitors.

力強い業績、EVインフラの拡充、デジタルユーザー基盤の拡大は、ORが従来の燃料小売事業から統合モビリティー／ライフスタイルサービスへの事業転換を図っていることを示すものであり、アジア全域の地域パートナーシップの拡張可能な基盤となることを目指す

タイ・バンコク – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年4月9日 – タイで最大のエネルギー／ライフスタイル小売事業を展開するPTT Oil and Retail Business Public Company Limited（以下、「OR」）は、2025年のEBITDAが前年同期比15.2%増の203億5700万バーツ（約6億4500万米ドル）、純利益が47.8%増の113億400万バーツ（約3億5700万米ドル）、総収益が9.0%減となったことを発表しました。この業績には、コスト管理の強化に加え、モビリティー、小売、デジタルサービスの各分野で、エコシステム主導の拡大に向け、成長戦略の転換を進めていることが反映されています。

この拡大を支えるため、ORは2026年から2030年までの5年間の投資計画において、580億バーツ（約18億4000万米ドル）を投じる計画です。この計画では、モビリティーインフラの開発、ライフスタイルプラットフォームの強化、EV充電ネットワークの拡張、イノベーションに重点的に投資し、地域全体で統合モビリティー／コンシューマーエコシステム事業者としてのORの存在感をさらに高めることを目指します。

ORの既存インフラは、その戦略の実行のための重要な土台となります。現在、当社のタイ国内のサービスステーションネットワークは、1日あたり390万人が利用し、国内有数の高頻度の消費者接点となっており、2030年までに1日あたり500万人の利用者獲得を目指しています。このネットワークでは、燃料小売事業、EV Station PluZブランドで展開するEV充電、食品／飲料、健康／ウェルネス、ライフスタイルサービスを総合的に展開しています。ORのコーヒーチェーンCafé Amazonはタイ国内外で4,600店舗以上を運営し、ネットワーク全体で持続的な消費者獲得に寄与しています。最近では、Centaraとの合弁事業を発表しました。この合弁事業では、PTT Stationでバジェットホテルを展開し、既存アメニティーに加えて、各施設で70〜80室を提供することを目指しており、日々の利便性だけでなく宿泊サービスも提供するネットワークへと拡張します。

ORは既存の燃料ネットワークと歩調を合わせ、EV Station PluZをさらに拡張し、東南アジアで進む電気自動車の普及に対応します。これは、同地域で変化しつつある政策環境とインフラに対する需要の拡大の両方を反映するものであり、ORはモビリティーの転換を長期的な成長機会およびパートナーシップに基づく同地域の市場参入の入口として位置づけています。

ORはデジタル基盤をとおして物理ネットワークのリーチを強化しています。会員アプリblueplus+ は累計930万人の登録会員を獲得し、2030年までに1400万人を目指しています。このアプリケーションでは、継続利用の推進に加え、エコシステム全体における消費者行動をきめ細かく把握することができ、個別化されたエンゲージメント、事業ラインをまたいだクロスセリング、物理ネットワークだけでは実現できない新たな収益源の創出が可能となります。会員数は伸び続けており、ORはアジア全域に事業を拡大していく中で、このモデルをデータによる消費者エンゲージメントの強力な土台として捉えています。

またORは、地域のディーラー、投資家、事業者がORのエコシステム基盤を活用できるような、国境を超えた拡張モデルに関する協議も進めています。ORは、潜在的なパートナーに対し、従来のエネルギー小売事業者としてではなく、多様なアジア市場において地域展開を支援する運営規模とデジタル機能を提供する統合ライフスタイル／モビリティープラットフォームとして自社を位置づけています。

PTT Oil and Retail Business Public Company Limitedの最高経営責任者であるM.L. Peekthong Thongyaiは次のように述べています。「当社の戦略はシンプルです。拡張可能で十分な規模を持つモデルにより、統合を進め相乗効果を生み出すことです。デジタルとフィジカルを融合させた収益性の高いエコシステムを構築してきた当社は、戦略的なパートナーが急速に発展するアジアのモビリティーおよびコンシューマー業界で成長を実現できるよう支援したいと考えています。」Hashtag: #OR

ORについて

PTT Oil and Retail Business Public Company Limited（OR）はタイにおけるエネルギーおよびリテール部門のリーディングカンパニーとして、10か国で事業を展開しています。ORは、PTT Station、PTT Lubricants、PTT LPG、EV Station PluZをとおしてエネルギーソリューションを提供する「モビリティー事業」、アジア最大級のコーヒーチェーンのCafé Amazonやコンビニエンスストア、スペースマネジメント事業を運営する「ライフスタイル事業」、400拠点以上のPTT Stationおよび300店以上のCafé Amazonを国際的に展開する「グローバル事業」、そしてテクノロジーとイノベーションをとおして新たなベンチャーや持続可能なソリューションを開発する「ORイノベーション事業」の4つの中核事業グループをとおして事業を運営しています。

憑藉亮眼的業績表現、持續完善的電動車基建，以及日益壯大的數碼用戶群，反映 OR 正持續由傳統燃油零售業務，轉型為綜合出行及生活方式營運商，並致力成為橫跨亞洲、推動區域合作的可擴展平台。

泰國曼谷 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年4月9日 – 泰國最大能源及生活零售營運商 PTT 石油暨零售業務公共有限公司 (PTT Oil and Retail Business Public Company Limited，下稱 OR) 公布 2025 年業績，息税折舊攤銷前利潤 (EBITDA) 達 203.57 億泰銖 (約 6.45 億美元)，同比增長 15.2%；淨利潤則錄得 113.04 億泰銖 (約 3.57 億美元)，按年大增 47.8%，即使期內總收入下跌 9.0%，仍能錄得強勁增長。相關業績反映該集團在成本管理方面表現穩健，並逐步將增長重心轉向以生態圈帶動的出行、零售及數碼服務布局。

為配合長遠發展，OR 承諾於 2026 年至 2030 年五年投資計劃中，總計將投入 58,000 百萬泰銖 (約 18.4 億美元)。

有關投資將集中於：出行基礎設施建設、生活平台升級、電動車充電網絡擴展，以及創新及投資項目，藉此鞏固 OR 作為區內綜合出行及消費者生態系統營運商的定位。

OR 現有的基礎設施，正是其落實上述策略的重要基礎。該公司覆蓋全國的服務站網絡，現時每日服務 390 萬名用戶，為泰國境內與消費者接觸最頻繁的網絡之一，目標是在 2030 年將每日用戶數提升至 500 萬。該網絡集燃油零售、EV Station PluZ 電動車充電服務、餐飲、健康養生，以及生活服務於一體。OR 旗下咖啡品牌 Café Amazon 於泰國及海外市場共經營超過 4,600 間分店，持續為整個網絡帶來穩定人流。近期，OR 宣布與 Centara 成立合營企業，於 PTT Station 發展經濟型酒店項目，每個據點目標設置 70 至 80 間客房，並結合現有設施，以將網絡由日常便利服務，拓展至過夜住宿及旅遊相關服務。

隨着東南亞地區電動車加速普及，OR 正同步配合現有燃油網絡，進一步擴展 EV Station PluZ 布局。此舉反映區內政策環境及基建需求正急速變化，OR 正將出行轉型視為長遠增長機遇，亦是透過合作，進軍區內不同市場的重要切入點。

OR 的數碼平台進一步強化其實體網絡的覆蓋力。blueplus+ 忠誠計劃應用程式已累積 930 萬名註冊會員，目標於 2030 年增至 1,400 萬名。除了有效帶動顧客持續回訪外，該平台亦使 OR 能夠更精準且深入地洞察整個生態系統內的消費者行為，從而實現個人化互動、跨業務交叉銷售，並開拓純實體網絡無法帶來的新收入來源。隨着會員規模持續增長，OR 相信此一模式，將成為以數據驅動的消費者互動、並推動其布局亞洲區內擴張的堅實基礎。

同時，OR 正針對跨境擴張模式展開洽談，期望讓區內經銷商、投資者及營運商得以接入其生態系統基礎設施。OR 向潛在合作夥伴所展示的定位，已不再是傳統能源零售商，而是一個整合生活及出行的平台，並憑藉其營運規模及數碼能力，足以支援業務在亞洲多元化市場中進行本地化部署。

PTT 石油暨零售業務公共有限公司行政總裁 M.L. Peekthong Thongyai 表示：「我們的策略十分清晰，就是以一套兼具規模與擴張的模式，實現整合並創造協同效益。我們藉由數碼與實體融合，已建立了一個具有盈利能力的生態系統，現正尋求策略夥伴，共同開拓亞洲快速發展的出行及消費領域增長機遇。」
