主禮嘉賓、新加坡副總理兼貿易及工業部部長顏金勇先生（Mr Gan Kim Yong）在開幕致辭中強調，水是經濟、社會及生命本身的根本；在面對氣候變化與日益不確定性的世界中，水更是關乎韌性的議題。他呼籲國際水務界在三大方面共同推進：投資、創新及國際合作。顏副總理以新加坡近日竣工的 Tengah Service Reservoir 為例，說明長遠基建規劃的重要性，並宣布在「研究、創新與企業 2030」（Research, Innovation and Enterprise 2030，RIE2030）框架下，初步撥款 1,200 萬新元，推動晶圓製造及數據中心工業水務方案的研發工作。這兩個行業均是支撐新加坡經濟的高度耗水產業。有關撥款是在 RIE2030 已承諾投入 8,500 萬新元發展市政水務方案的基礎上進一步推出，旨在推進水處理、海水化淡、新興污染物及可持續營運相關工作。
在 2026 年李光耀水源榮譽大獎（Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize 2026）頒獎典禮上，美國微生物學家 Joan Bray Rose 教授獲頒 2026 年大獎，以表揚其在定量微生物風險評估（Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment，QMRA）方面的開創性工作。QMRA 是一種以科學為基礎的方法，用於保障飲用水及再用水的水質。其後舉行的部長級全體會議（Ministerial Plenary）上，聯合國秘書長水資源問題特使 Retno Marsudi 閣下發表主題演講。其後，新加坡永續發展與環境部部長兼主管貿易關係部長傅海燕女士（Ms Grace Fu）與來自尼日利亞、阿拉伯聯合酋長國及中華人民共和國的外國政要，共同探討各國政府如何加強水安全，並在「循環經濟下的水務治理：從願景到行動，推動繁榮與韌性」主題下，將願景轉化為行動。部長級全體會議由世界銀行集團（World Bank Group）合作舉辦。
SIWW2026 正式開幕前一日下午，來自全球水務機構及相關機構的 68 名行政總裁及高級管理人員參與水務機構行政總裁圓桌會議（Utilities CEO Roundtable），進行同儕交流並分享最佳實踐。會議以「人工智能如何重塑水務機構」為主題，討論聚焦人工智能在重塑水務機構及提升營運韌性方面的轉型潛力。同日上午，來自近 30 個城市的高級官員亦參與海岸及防洪韌性領袖圓桌會議（Coastal and Flood Resilience Leaders Roundtable），當中包括哥本哈根、鹿特丹、香港、紐約市、安特衛普、杜拜、雅加達、墨爾本、奎松市、東京及橫濱，分享城市可如何調整設計，以加強防洪韌性並建立具防洪韌性的社群。
Hero performs full end-to-end report development, Application configuration, and token management, closing tickets at no marginal cost on top of the platform fee while customers keep their existing systems, controls, and access model.
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 June 2026 – Dayos Pte. Ltd., the Singapore-based AI company, today announced the general availability of Athena, the latest release of Hero, its agentic platform for Oracle and Workday support. Hero is a direct replacement for traditional Application Managed Services (AMS) contracts – not a tool layered on top – and is available to enterprise customers immediately via Dayos’ Starter and Pro plans.
The release addresses four structural problems with the AMS model that enterprises running Oracle and Workday have lived with for two decades.
Time to deploy. Traditional AMS engagements take months to scope, onboard, and ramp to full coverage. Athena Starter deploys in two weeks – from contract execution to production agents running inside the customer’s Oracle or Workday tenant.
Quality of work. Hero’s agents reason through tickets in the customer’s actual tenant – exploring, planning, and validating before posting. Report development tickets, historically the worst offenders on enterprise SLA reports, complete 70% faster on Hero. Plain English in, validated SQL out, executed inside the tenant.
Long-term support drag. Hero reduces Oracle ticket backlogs by 50% in the first 30 days for Starter customers, with a sustained 60% reduction in the active ticket queue by the end of year one for Pro customers. SLAs across customer engagements run 50% faster. Every ticket Hero closes is a ticket the customer’s AMS provider does not bill for.
Proof. Dayos used Hero internally to retire its own ServiceNow ITSM environment in 45 days, with 60% of Tier 1 tickets now resolved autonomously. The deployment is documented as a reference case in Section 2.1 of the IMDA Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI, published by Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority at ATxSG in May 2026, alongside case studies from AWS, DBS, Google, Workday, OCBC, Tencent, PwC, and GovTech.
“AMS providers bill per ticket or per hour. Hero closes tickets at no marginal cost on top of the platform fee. Every ticket Hero closes is one your AMS provider doesn’t bill for,” said Brad McElhannon, Founder and CEO of Dayos.
AVAILABLE NOW AND AHEAD
Athena Starter is available at USD 60,000 per year, delivering 50% Oracle ticket backlog reduction in 30 days, 70% faster report development, and 50% faster SLAs. Athena Pro is available at USD 150,000 per year, adding custom agent development and a contractually committed 60% sustained reduction in the active ticket queue by the end of year one. Plan details and outcome breakdowns by tier are at dayos.com/plans (https://www.dayos.com/plans).
The Athena Hero release ships with full support for Oracle and Workday. SAP availability is targeted for January 2027.
Hero is built on Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK) with Gemini as the lead reasoning model, and operates under ISO 42001-aligned governance with SOC 2 Type II controls. Athena enters general availability, with active enterprise deployments across the Asia-Pacific region.

About Dayos
Dayos is an AI-native platform company headquartered in Singapore. Its platform, Hero, automates the Oracle and Workday application-managed services work that enterprises have historically outsourced, including configuration, report development, reconciliations, transaction entry, monitoring, and incident resolution. Rather than replacing a customer’s systems, Hero works inside their existing Oracle and Workday environments and respects their established controls and role-based access model.
Dayos is ISO 42001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified and was published as a reference deployment in the IMDA Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI. The company was founded by Brad McElhannon, who spent more than 20 years in enterprise Oracle implementation across 200+ clients and led Finance Engineering at Robinhood through its IPO.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 June 2026 – Hong Kong jumped one place to become the world’s second most competitive economy, according to the 2026 World Competitiveness Ranking published today (June 18) by the Swiss-based International Institute for Management Development (IMD). It is Hong Kong’s highest ranking since 2019, and builds on three consecutive years of improvement.
Welcoming the report, a spokesperson for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government said, “The World Competitiveness Yearbook (WCY) 2026 reaffirms Hong Kong as one of the most competitive economies in the world, and notes that Hong Kong’s rise to second sustains the strong upward trajectory from 2024 and 2025.”
Hong Kong ranks No.2 globally in 2026 IMD World Competitiveness Ranking
In announcing the results, the IMD noted that, amid rising geopolitical tensions, competitive advantage hinges on credible institutions, predictable rules, enforceable commitments and public trust.
According to WCY 2026, Hong Kong’s rise reflects sustained performance across the four competitiveness factors measured. Among these factors, Hong Kong ranks second in “Government efficiency” and third in “Business efficiency”. “Infrastructure” and “Economic performance” rank eighth and 11th respectively.
As regards the various competitiveness sub-factors, Hong Kong tops the rankings in “Tax policy” and “Business legislation”, ranks second in “Finance”, third in “International trade”, “International investment”, “Management practices” and “Education”, and fourth in “Public finance” and “Basic infrastructure”.
“In the competitiveness factor ‘Government efficiency’, Hong Kong continues to rank second globally, reflecting the HKSAR Government’s ongoing efforts to promote free and open, stable, predictable and business-friendly economic policies, as well as the international community’s trust in Hong Kong’s legal and regulatory environment,” the spokesperson said.
“Hong Kong’s ‘Business efficiency’ is ranked third globally, reflecting the strong support for industry development rendered by our robust financial ecosystem, as well as the seamless alignment of the city’s business practices and environment with international best standards.”
Hong Kong has become a “value hub” that offers both security and growth opportunities
Amid rapidly evolving geopolitical dynamics, Hong Kong, with its close connectivity to both the Chinese Mainland and the world under the “one country, two systems” principle, and its sound institutions, open markets and sustained investments in innovation, has become a “value hub” that offers both security and growth opportunities.
In fact, Hong Kong continues to excel in various international rankings including those for economy, finance, and talent. The International Monetary Fund has also given positive recognition to Hong Kong in recent months, and major credit rating agencies have successively reaffirmed Hong Kong’s credit ratings and ‘stable’ outlook.
“All these echo the WCY 2026 results,” the spokesperson said.
Currently, Hong Kong is formulating at full speed its first Five-Year Plan, to proactively align with the National 15th Five-Year Plan.
“With the staunch support of our country, the HKSAR Government will work together with all sectors of society to strengthen our role and function as a ‘super connector’ and ‘super value-adder’, with a view to better integrating into and serving the overall national development, achieving our own high-quality development, creating more new room for development for our people and businesses, as well as opening up new opportunities for global investors and enterprises,” the spokesperson said.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 June 2026 – On June 16, the 2026 Hainan Cultural and Tourism Promotion Events, under the theme of “Sunny Hainan · Heart’s Desire,” were held in Hong Kong. Leaders from Hong Kong’s cultural and tourism authorities, heads of industry associations, and representatives of key cultural and tourism enterprises from home and abroad gathered to explore new opportunities for cooperation and draw up a blueprint for the industry’s future.
2026 Hainan Cultural and Tourism Promotion Events Held in Hong Kong
Liu Xiaoming, Governor of the People’s Government of Hainan Province, and Cheuk Wing-hing, Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, attended the events and delivered speeches. During the promotional session, Chen Tiejun, Director of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports of Hainan Province, unveiled the “Top Ten Calling Cards of Hainan Tourism,” which received enthusiastic responses and positive feedback from various sectors in Hong Kong. Attendees from Hong Kong unanimously agreed that Hong Kong and Hainan boast highly complementary cultural and tourism resources and immense potential for cooperation.
Since the launch of special customs operations of the Hainan Free Trade Port, its distinctive opening-up advantages, such as “zero tariffs, low tax rates, a simplified tax system” and “tariff exemption for value-added processing,” have become increasingly prominent. These policies have continuously made Hainan more attractive to businesses and opened up broader opportunities for Hong Kong investors and entrepreneurs.
On the same day, at the “Invest in the Free Trade Port, Share New Opportunities” Symposium for Hong Kong Enterprises held in Hong Kong, four cooperation agreements were formally signed, covering high-end commerce, cultural and tourism integration, and regional industrial coordination. Hong Kong business representatives expressed strong interest in deepening their presence in Hainan.
Hainan and Hong Kong share a long history of cooperation, and in recent years, a steady stream of favorable policies has been introduced. Since the signing of the Hainan-Hong Kong Memorandum of Cooperation in March 2025, bilateral cooperation has accelerated across the board. In 2025, goods trade between the two sides reached RMB 9.35 billion, increasing by more than two times from 2020. A total of 793 new Hong Kong-funded enterprises were established in Hainan, a year-on-year increase of 21.5%. Hainan has also issued offshore RMB bonds in Hong Kong for four consecutive years, with a cumulative total of RMB 18 billion. Currently, an average of four direct flights operate daily between Hong Kong and Hainan, with the fastest travel time under two hours, facilitating the rapid emergence of the “Hainan-Hong Kong Living Circle.”
