    KKR-Singtel Consortium Completes Acquisition of STTGDC; Company Launches Refreshed Global Brand for Next Phase of Growth

    Completion strengthens STTGDC’s ability to scale AI-ready digital infrastructure, building on strong operating momentum while maintaining continuity of strategy, leadership and customer commitment

    SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 September 2026 – STTGDC today announced the completion of its acquisition by a KKR-led consortium comprising funds managed by global investment firm KKR and Singtel, and unveiled a refreshed global brand, marking the beginning of the company’s next chapter as a global digital infrastructure platform.

    The transaction strengthens STTGDC’s ability to execute a strategy already in motion, with long-term capital, increased financial flexibility and the consortium’s global infrastructure experience providing continued growth and momentum. Customers will continue to be served by the same leadership team, operating discipline and long-term commitment that have underpinned the company’s growth for more than a decade.

    Retaining the STTGDC name, the refreshed brand reflects the scale, capabilities and global platform the company has built over more than a decade. It is anchored in Built Ready, expressing STTGDC’s focus on delivering the reliable, resilient and AI-ready infrastructure required by customers across Asia, the United Kingdom and Europe.

    “Today marks the most important turning point in STTGDC’s evolution since we founded the company more than 12 years ago,” said Bruno Lopez, President and Group CEO of STTGDC. “The completion of this transaction signals the beginning of a new chapter for our company.

    JustCo Continues Expansion Plan By Growing Singapore Network With A New Centre At Raffles City Tower

    SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 September 2026 – JustCo Holdings Limited (“JustCo” or the “Company”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), a leading Singapore-grown flexible workspace operator with an extensive Asia Pacific network, today announced the launch of JustCo Raffles City Tower, its 24th centre in Singapore and latest move to expand its footprint in the City Hall precinct. Located across Levels 9 and 10 of Raffles City Tower, the new centre spans approximately 16,000 sq ft and can accommodate more than 300 members.

    JustCo Continues Expansion Plan By Growing Singapore Network With A New Centre At Raffles City Tower

    The expansion comes as demand for premium flexible workspace in prime locations continues to rise, with businesses increasingly prioritising hybrid-work flexibility over long-term fixed leases. Flexible workspace accounted for 5.5% of Singapore’s total office stock as of 1H2026, reflecting strong headroom for growth in the office landscape. (CBRE)

    “Businesses today are much more deliberate about where they locate their teams. They want the flexibility of a managed workspace, but they are not willing to compromise on the quality of the address, connectivity or the experience they offer their employees,” said Kong Wan Long, Chief Commercial Officer, JustCo. “Raffles City Tower responds to that demand and gives us an important presence in the downtown business district, where we see continued opportunity to serve both established businesses and growing teams.”

    A Landmark Address Backing Business Growth

    The new centre is located within Raffles City, an integrated development in the heart of Singapore’s Civic District, combining Grade-A offices with retail, hospitality and convention facilities. As part of ongoing enhancements, Raffles City Tower is being refreshed with upgraded key touchpoints, improved wayfinding and new end-of-trip facilities.

    The addition reflects JustCo’s strategy of anchoring its premium centres in landmark, high-connectivity locations. The office tower offers expansive city views, generous natural light, a fully sheltered drop-off point and concierge services, providing a convenient and professional setting for employees, clients and visitors.

    JustCo Raffles City Tower sits directly above City Hall MRT Interchange, serving the North-South and East-West Lines, with seamless sheltered connectivity to Esplanade MRT on the Circle Line. Connectivity has become an increasingly important consideration in JustCo’s site selection strategy as businesses place greater emphasis on commute convenience when making return-to-office decisions.

    Design Built Around How Businesses Actually Work Today

    Beyond the address, the centre’s design draws on the site’s educational heritage as the former home of Raffles Institution, reinterpreting elements of the traditional classroom for the contemporary workplace. The concept takes cues from environments built around exchange, shared thinking and development, translating these qualities through natural materials, layered textures and refined detailing that support focused work and collaboration.

    This reflects a broader shift among JustCo’s clients: as companies invest more in employee learning, workshops and cross-team collaboration, they are seeking environments built for knowledge-sharing, not just desks.

    JustCo Raffles City Tower offers private offices, dedicated workspaces, and meeting and collaboration areas, giving businesses the flexibility to scale their footprint as needs change.

    A Strategic Addition to JustCo’s Singapore Growing Network

    JustCo Raffles City Tower adds to the company’s growing portfolio of Singapore locations, which includes the THE COLLECTIVE Labrador Tower, which opened in January this year, and upcoming centres at The Octagon by the boring office, as well as JustCo Place on Orchard Road. JustCo Place will see the Group expand its platform beyond flexible workspaces into coliving as an extension of an integrated service offering to our coworking customers. The new coliving project is a management contract while the coworking centre is already 100% occupied.

  • Semicon Taiwan: TRUMPF Enables Integrated Chip Cooling for the Next Generation of AI Chips

    Semicon Taiwan: TRUMPF Enables Integrated Chip Cooling for the Next Generation of AI Chips

    Advanced packaging requires integrated cooling at the semiconductor level // TRUMPF uses ultrashort-pulse lasers to enable the industrial production of the microstructures needed for this // Ultra-fine structures are created directly within the chip stack

    DITZINGEN,GERMANY / TAIPEI,TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 September 2026 – The next generation of high-performance AI chips requires new cooling solutions. At Semicon Taiwan, TRUMPF is showcasing for the first time a new ultrashort-pulse laser application that enables the industrial production of cooling systems integrated into AI chips. “Heat dissipation will become the bottleneck for future AI processors. Without new cooling concepts, the high requirements cannot be met. Our ultrashort-pulse lasers enable the cost-effective production of the microstructures required for this on an industrial scale,” says Cathrin Conrad, Business Development Manager at TRUMPF and responsible for chip cooling. With the new laser application, chip manufacturers can flexibly integrate cooling structures into the chip stack. The process is suitable for various materials, such as silicon carbide and diamond.

    AI Boom drives demand for new cooling concepts

    Manufacturers are increasingly turning to advanced packaging, a cutting-edge semiconductor technology in which chips are stacked or closely interconnected to enable greater computing power in a small space. As a result, heat is increasingly generated inside the chip stack and can only be dissipated to a limited extent using conventional cooling methods, such as cooling server racks or entire data centers. Leading semiconductor manufacturers have therefore included novel cooling solutions for chips in their development roadmaps, such as microfluidic cooling or heat spreaders. This involves incorporating extremely fine structures into the chip package that dissipate heat where it is generated.

    Semiconductor manufacturers must integrate these cooling structures into materials such as silicon carbide. This material is suitable for demanding applications in the semiconductor industry and efficiently dissipates heat. However, manufacturing the required microstructures poses major challenges for the semiconductor industry, as silicon carbide is extremely hard, the required structures are extremely small, and they are difficult to produce using established etching processes.

    TRUMPF lasers enable industrial production of cooling structures

    This is where TRUMPF’s ultrashort-pulse lasers (USP) come into play. “The key advantage of our technology: It is the combination of high laser power, beam-shaping technology, and our many years of application expertise that makes the industrial production of integrated cooling systems in chip stacks possible,” says Conrad.

    The USP lasers ablate the silicon carbide with micrometer precision and create the fine structures. High precision is crucial for reliable cooling. Compared to etching, ultrashort-pulse lasers enable at least five times the processing speed while delivering excellent surface quality and precise geometry of the cooling structures. This allows the semiconductor industry’s requirements for both quality and cost-effectiveness to be met simultaneously. After all, in addition to quality, productivity plays a central role for chip manufacturers.

  • TRUMPF makes glass substrates ready for the next generation of AI chips

    TRUMPF makes glass substrates ready for the next generation of AI chips

    The future of AI chips is increasingly being shaped by packaging // With its HiPIMS product line, TRUMPF is addressing a key challenge facing the semiconductor industry: the reliable coating of highly complex glass substrates for the next generation of high-performance AI processors.

    DITZINGEN, GERMANY / TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 September 2026 – The race for more powerful AI chips is increasingly shifting to packaging. To pack more computing power into a smaller space in the future, industry leaders are therefore investing in new substrate technologies such as glass substrates. These enable more functions to be integrated into a smaller space and allow data to be transmitted faster and more efficiently within the chip. To achieve this, however, manufacturers must drill millions of microscopic holes into the glass and then coat them with conductive material.

    Millions of through-holes must be error-free

    TRUMPF has now developed the first industrial process of its kind that enables the production of such structures with high quality and reproducible results. With its HiPIMS products, the high-tech company is supporting the semiconductor industry in bringing glass substrates for the next generation of high-performance AI processors to series production. “The computing power of modern AI chips is increasing rapidly. As a result, the demand for packaging is also growing. Through-glass vias are considered a promising approach for future generations of chips. However, it is crucial that millions of extremely fine structures can be reliably coated. This is exactly where our HiPIMS technology comes into play,” says Piotr Lach, Head of Next Technology Demands at TRUMPF Elektronik. The challenge: The holes in the glass substrates are both very deep and very narrow. Even a small number of incorrectly coated through-vias can render an entire glass panel unusable.

    For mass production, therefore, reliable processes, consistent results, and a high yield of functional components are crucial. TRUMPF’s technology improves process stability and increases production yield compared to conventional methods. This enables TRUMPF to help chip manufacturers economically transition new packaging concepts for AI applications into series production.

    HiPIMS products precisely direct charged particles into deep structures

    HiPIMS is a particularly high-performance coating process. TRUMPF’s industrially manufactured HiPIMS generators produce a highly ionized plasma with a higher proportion of electrically charged particles than conventional methods. These ions can be precisely controlled using additional electric and magnetic fields and directed into deep, narrow structures. This results in a significantly more uniform coating, even in deep trenches.

    HiPIMS generates significantly higher ionization, leading to a higher density of deposited molecules. “This improves the quality of the coating. The technology helps increase manufacturing yield and lays the foundation for cost-effective mass production of future AI chips,” says Lach.

    A Pioneer in the Industry

    TRUMPF has many years of experience with HiPIMS technologies in industrial production environments. The company launched its first HiPIMS solutions for other application areas many years ago and has continuously refined the technology. Today, this high-tech company has extensive experience gained from real-world manufacturing processes.

    “For our customers, it’s not just about technological performance. What matters most is that processes can be scaled and replicated consistently worldwide. With our industrialization expertise and technological lead, we support leading chip manufacturers in bringing advanced packaging technologies into mass production quickly and reliably,” says Lach.

    TRUMPF covers several key technologies for advanced packaging

    In addition to HiPIMS, TRUMPF offers other technologies for advanced packaging. These include ultrashort-pulse lasers for the production of through-glass vias, as well as plasma power supplies for coating and etching processes in semiconductor manufacturing. Together, these technologies form an important foundation for the production of high-performance chips for artificial intelligence, data centers, and high-performance computers.

This decrease was primarily attributable to the continued challenging operating environment in the retail and industrial sectors, partly offset by increased contributions from the residential portfolio and improved office occupancy. Overall occupancy of the Group’s investment property portfolio improved to 90.0% during the Financial Year (2024/2025: 89.6%), representing an increase of 0.4 percentage point compared with last year, reflecting improved business sentiment and stronger tenant confidence.

    Hong Kong remains well positioned to benefit from the Central Government’s ongoing support for deeper economic integration, the continued development of the Greater Bay Area and new growth drivers associated with the Northern Metropolis. To strengthen tenant sales and foot traffic, the Group continues to roll out targeted marketing and promotional campaigns while leveraging the growing Sports Economy to attract customers and enhance retail experience. These initiatives have delivered positive results, with the Group’s major flagship malls recording year-on-year growth in visitor traffic. The office sector is also showing encouraging signs of stabilisation supported by robust financial market activity and supportive government measures.

    As at 30 June 2026, the Group has approximately 13.6 million square feet of attributable floor area of investment properties and hotels in the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney.

    Tourist arrivals to Hong Kong continued to recover steadily in the first half of 2026, supported by the HKSAR Government’s ongoing efforts to promote integrated culture, sports and tourism initiatives. With a strong pipeline of mega-events and the opening of the new Terminal 2 at Hong Kong International Airport, the Group remains positive in the outlook for Hong Kong’s tourism sector.

    With solid fundamentals and a strong balance sheet, the Group is wellpositioned to capitalise on opportunities

    “Hong Kong’s economy demonstrated encouraging momentum in the first half of 2026, supported by vibrant capital market activity, resilient external trade and continued growth in visitor arrivals. Real GDP expanded by 5.1% year-on-year, marking the strongest half-year growth in nearly five years, while IPO fundraising reached a five-year high in the first half of the year. The improving macroeconomic environment supported steady performance across key sectors of the economy.

    The HKSAR Government is formulating Hong Kong’s first Five-Year Plan, which is expected to provide a strategic roadmap for the city’s long-term development, strengthen its competitive advantages and create new growth opportunities, with particular emphasis on the Northern Metropolis. In line with the National 15th Five-Year Plan, which states the accelerated development of the Northern Metropolis as a key priority of Hong Kong’s future growth engine, the Group, together with our distinguished corporate partners, was honoured to be awarded the HSK Pilot Area project. We have full confidence in Hong Kong’s prospects and hope that, through cross-sector collaboration, we can help bring together diverse expertise to contribute to the region’s innovation and technology development. In the HKSAR Government’s first Five-Year Plan, the Chief Executive also highlighted the pivotal role of the Northern Metropolis in enriching the housing ladder and creating more opportunities and space for home ownership. We are committed to bringing high-value industries and a quality living community to the Northern Metropolis, providing more housing and employment opportunities while enhancing connectivity between Hong Kong and cities across the Greater Bay Area.

    Looking ahead, Hong Kong remains well positioned for continued growth, underpinned by vibrant financial market activity, successful talent attraction policies, growing international student enrolment, rising visitor arrivals and ongoing enhancements to cross-boundary transport infrastructure. The Group will continue to uphold prudent financial management and enhance operational efficiency. Supported by a solid financial position and forward-looking strategies, we are well positioned to navigate market fluctuations, capture growth opportunities, and create long-term value for our stakeholders,” said Mr. Daryl Ng Win Kong, Chairman of Sino Land.

    • Adding and renewing agreements in markets outside the USA since Q4 2025 including: Panama, Mexico, S. Korea, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Kuwait, Brazil, Europe (Benelux) and Greece

    Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – September 1, 2026) – TempraMed Technologies Ltd. (CSE: VIVI) (FSE: 9DY) (OTCQB: TMPTF) (“TempraMed” or the “Company“), a medical-technology innovator transforming how temperature-sensitive medications are stored and managed, is pleased to announce that it has signed a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI“) dated July 30, 2026 with CPO Greece (“CPO“) regarding the proposed exclusive distribution of VIVI Cap™ and VIVI Epi™ in Greece.

    Under the LOI, TempraMed proposes to appoint CPO as the exclusive distributor of VIVI Cap and VIVI Epi in Greece, subject to the execution of a definitive distribution agreement and CPO’s compliance with minimum purchase obligations. The specific transfer prices and first-year minimum unit commitment have not yet been finalized and are to be established in the definitive agreement.

    To maintain the proposed exclusivity, CPO would be required to increase its total annual combined purchases of VIVI Cap and VIVI Epi by no less than 20% year over year. CPO Greece is part of CPO Group, an established importer, distributor and exclusive agent serving the health, beauty, personal-care and food sectors. Founded in 1928, the group represents a broad portfolio that includes pharmaceutical products as well as hospital, medical, analytical and dental supplies. TempraMed believes CPO’s pharmacy-market experience, local commercial relationships and distribution capabilities make it a strong prospective partner for the Company’s entry into Greece.

    The proposed relationship supports TempraMed’s strategy of expanding through experienced local partners that can navigate country-specific pharmacy channels and build sustained product adoption. If a definitive agreement is completed, Greece would become an additional European market for two of TempraMed’s commercial medication-protection products.

    “CPO Greece is exactly the kind of established, market-facing partner we want as we expand TempraMed’s global commercial footprint,” said Ron Nagar, Founder and CEO of TempraMed. “Its deep pharmacy-market experience and local distribution capabilities provide a strong foundation for introducing VIVI Cap and VIVI Epi across Greece. The proposed 20% annual purchase-growth requirement reflects our intention to build this relationship for scale, not simply market entry. We are focused on converting this LOI into a definitive agreement and, subject to completing that agreement and satisfying all applicable requirements, establishing Greece as a meaningful European market for TempraMed. This LOI reinforces our confidence in the global relevance of our passive, battery-free technology and its ability to address an important everyday need for patients using temperature-sensitive medications.”
