‘Chi Longevity’, a global centre of excellence for personalized and precision medicine opens its' inaugural medical suite in Singapore Singapore is now home to one of the world’s leading longevity centres, Chi Longevity, providing a scientific-based proactive approach to ageing to guide individuals towards a younger, healthier self. A global leader in researching gerontology and internal medicine, Professor Andrea Maier leads the medical suites’ programs and is supported by a team of healthcare specialists who curate a wholly personalised journey to promote vitality and prolong longevity. With her knowledge and experience in longevity and biogerontolog, Prof Andrea leads the clinic's programs with cutting-edge science and evidence-based diagnostics and interventions to extend health span and re-energise life. Health spans are optimised using cutting-edge diagnostics and multi-disciplinary interventions that target the ageing process. The Chi Longevity journey begins with a multi-dimensional biological, clinical and digital diagnostic assessment to build an individual's unique health profile and highlight the precise hallmarks of biological ageing. A comprehensive evaluation of habits and preferences such as sleep, diet, stress levels, and exercise regimen is also conducted to supplement the analysis. Once the results are revealed, a personalised intervention plan to curate a longevity strategy is implemented, featuring evidence-based therapeutics, supplements and changes to lifestyle, social and physical environments. The medical suites’ expert team of physicians, dieticians, psychologists and health coaches review and support the age-reversal program at every step of the way. Remote monitoring technologies are linked to an advanced digital health dashboard to enable up-to-the-minute recording of progress. Once the initial regimen is completed, progress is evaluated to observe changes in biomarkers, biological clocks, and the overall ageing process. After thorough analysis, Chi Longevity’s specialists devise a follow-up plan to sustain gains and promote further health goals. Co-Founder Prof. Andrea Maier, who is also currently the Oon Chiew Seng Professor in Medicine, Healthy Ageing and Dementia Research at NUS and Co-Director of the Centre for Healthy Longevity, NUHS says, “It’s an exciting time for advances in longevity research, translating cutting edge results from animal models to humans and now spearheading the launch of Singapore’s first longevity clinic. I’ve spent decades dedicating my time to understanding ageing biology and chronic disease development and management, and we’re now at the stage where we can share cutting-edge diagnostics and interventions with the potential to prevent age related diseases with individuals for the first time in Singapore.” A far cry from the clinical feel of traditional medical clinics, Chi Longevity’s modern medical suite at Camden Medical Centre is designed to be private, with modern comforts, healthy refreshments and discreet service to make each visit a seamless and supportive experience. A visit to this facility is filled with charisma and delight as the auspices of their personalized attention and care is felt the moment you step in. A holistic overview is prepared from the physical and mind domains within the wellness preparation and journey. Clients are nudged gently using motivational means to change behaviour habits and patterns to achieve good outcomes, with cognitive functions and balance a key format to improve one's constitution over time: optimizing oneself is a key pillar of the program, albeit to a software upgrading itself over different milestones in one's journey toward longevity as part of the overall interventional journey as prescribed by Chi Longevity. The complete Chi Longevity program takes approximately ten months, and it is advised to be physically present in Singapore at least twice in that period. Each visit takes about four hours to complete; however, some of the testing can be completed in the comfort of a home or hotel room in Singapore. Tele-consult services are available, but physical consultations and follow-ups are encouraged as much as possible to maximise results. The cost of the program is available upon request, and varies according to the needs of each individual.

- SIGG
“The art of hydration.” SIGG is a leading provider of drinking bottles since 1908. Thanks to the company’s rich traditional history, which is known for quality, innovation, design and environmental awareness, the SIGG products are synonymous worldwide with intelligent, sustainable drinking bottles. Originally, the bottles from SIGG, which are well-known for their long lasting quality and complete reusability, were primarily popular with alpinists and hikers. Today, SIGG offers a wide collection of functional and fashionable bottles for all walks of life and multiple demographics and segments. INTRODUCTION & MILESTONES The history of SIGG Switzerland Bottles AG began in 1908: Ferdinand Sigg, a metal working specialist, returned to Switzerland after years of learning and travelling. Together with his friend Xaver Küng, he established an aluminium goods factory in Biel. Sigg and Küng are united in their love for metal and their belief that aluminium is the material of the future. Right from the start, SIGG sells a wide range of pans, pots, teacups, cutlery and household products including bed and water bottles. Over time, the company has repeatedly succeeded in conquering new markets with new ideas. In 1958, the range includes well over 10 000 products! The SIGG bottle is added to the range of household products by coincidence. While producing pots and pans, a great deal of aluminium is left over as waste. During the resource-scarce war years, a new meaningful use for valuable raw material is sought and found: SIGG develops a bottle! In February 2016, SIGG is acquired by the stainless steel vacuum bottle manufacturer HAERS, China. With its access to the fast growing Chinese market and its know-how in stainless steel, polypropylene and tritan products, the new parent company is the ideal partner.Aluminium bottles continue to be manufactured at SIGG's headquarters in Frauenfeld, Switzerland. THE ART OF HYDRATION. EXCELLENCE SINCE 1908. At SIGG long tradition of sustainability dates back to the very first aluminum bottle and continues to this day with innovative ecological products and projects. For them sustainability is an ongoing process that requires continuous motion, determination and progress. They think about tomorrow and act today by developing products and supporting projects that promote sustainability. MADE IN SWITZERLAND Their logo with the red Swiss cross is used for corporate communication purposes and marks products that are manufactured in Switzerland. A manual quality check ensures that all bottles leaving their production line are in perfect condition. In addition, all their products undergo a strict testing procedure to certify safety from chemicals such as estrogen-mimicking substances, BPA and phthalates. DESIGN SIGG manufactures products that meet contemporary tastes and set new standards at the same time. The unmistakable design of SIGG bottles has long since attained cult status. This has been confirmed by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, which displays two SIGG bottles in its permanent exhibition. It all starts with a piece of aluminium that’s the shape of an ice hockey puck. Every puck is extruded by a 600-ton piston stroke and then flows along the piston, transforming it into a cylinder. The cylinder gets shaped into a bottle with the help of up to 26 differently shaped modules, each one moving the metal further towards the final shape. Once the bottle has the iconic form that we all know, the next step is to coat the inside of the bottle with our liner to avoid direct contact between the liquids and the aluminium. TRADITION, INNOVATION & ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS SIGG has been taking care of the environment as part of their overall goal when establishing the brand, and that is why they offer sustainable alternatives to disposable PET bottles. They haven't just been doing this since the latest UN climate report, but for over 100 years. In their company, tradition and innovation go hand in hand - their drinking bottles have cult status and are always setting new standards. Even in times of change, they remain true to their values and focus on quality, innovation, design and environmental awareness. Based on the success story of the original SIGG aluminium bottle and the dynamic SIGG Hot & Cold ONE Light made of high grade stainless steel, the company has expanded its product range with high-quality drinking bottles made from polypropylene, glass and Tritan™, underlining its core values of sustainability and versatility. Stay hydrated and save the planet. Slim, chic and practical. A convincing model update in the Hot & Cold One range proves how good things can become even better: 10% lighter, 10% more volume and 40% smoother running screw cap. Whether you are sports enthusiast, a fan of the outdoors or a fashion junkie, we have the SIGG bottle that is right for you! A water bottle for every need and taste, could be the ideal companion for everyone who wants to have a little bit more hot or cold drink “to go”. Slim, chic and practical! And pretty much a classic. CO-BRANDING SIGG has tied up key partnerships and co-branding with leading labels and brands around the globe for corporate gifts including Rolex Paris Masters, Locarno Film Festival, Saint Laurent, Roland-Garros, Zegna, The Mountain Studio, Highsnobiety and many others.

- Sensory Odyssey
ArtScience Museum presents an Asia-first, one-of-a-kind experience that invites visitors of all ages to encounter nature’s ecosystems in a unique way An unparalleled multi-sensory journey through the natural world awaits visitors at ArtScience Museum’s latest exhibition, Sensory Odyssey: Into the Heart of Our Living World. Making its Asian debut on 27 May, this groundbreaking show will captivate visitors by unveiling the beauty of our planet's biodiversity through up-close encounters with diverse habitats teeming with life. Following a successful eight-month run in Paris at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (French National Museum of Natural History) last year, Sensory Odyssey is now set to take even more visitors on a voyage through seven ecosystems from around the world. As explorers for a day, visitors to the exhibition will join animals at a watering hole in the African Savannah, perch atop the rainforest canopy in French Guiana, and take to the skies with bats as they hunt for food. Visitors can also experience swimming with a family of giant sperm whales in the ocean near Mauritius and float across polar landscapes in the far north of Greenland, or even shrink in size to burrow into the ground before emerging in grasslands filled with pollinating insects. These environments are brought to life through ultra-high-definition video projection, spatial audio, and unique scents that engage and magnify visitors’ perceptions of sight, sound, and smell. Developed by a cross-disciplinary team of artists, designers, biologists, engineers, developers, neuroscientists, scent-makers, and media specialists, this multi-sensory show sits at the crossroads of exhibition, performing arts, cinema and technological innovation, as well as cognitive and natural sciences. “ArtScience Museum is delighted to present Sensory Odyssey, an exhibition that takes visitors on an incredible journey through the wonders of our natural world. This show emphasises ArtScience Museum's commitment to raising awareness of environmental issues, and is the latest in a series of exhibitions and education projects that demonstrate the importance of collective action in protecting and conserving our planet. As visitors enter each environmental zone in Sensory Odyssey, they will become part of a unique experience that will connect them deeply and emotionally with nature,” said Honor Harger, Vice President of ArtScience Museum and Attractions at Marina Bay Sands. “We have complemented the exhibition by curating an educational gallery that articulates the diversity of the flora and fauna our visitors will encounter during their expedition. On top of highlighting the importance of conservation and how to care for our planet, the gallery also includes local stories about nature here in Singapore. Meanwhile, a wayfinding guide will further deepen visitors' understanding of the biodiversity found within the ecosystems featured. We hope all our visitors leave the show with a renewed sense of wonder and greater empathy for our beautiful yet fragile planet," added Harger. “Our pioneering edutainment brand is all about combining old fashioned artistry with cutting edge research in technology and science to raise awareness amongst family audiences about everything which connects us to other non-human species, in order to nurture an enduring and caring relationship with our natural world,” said Gwenael Allan, Creator, co-founder and CEO of Sensory Odyssey Studio. With hyper-realistic large-scale projections showcasing breathtaking scenes filmed in 8K- resolution from around the world, visitors to Sensory Odyssey will experience nature and wildlife up-close, exploring their surroundings as engaged participants rather than observers. As part of the experience, Academy Award Winning composer Nicolas Becker has designed some of the 360-degree ambient soundscapes that, in combination with custom olfactory creations by International Flavors & Fragrances Inc, form environments of total immersion – from emitting the smell of damp wood and vegetation on the forest floor to the sounds of a mantis nibbling at its prey. Additionally, as part of Marina Bay Sands' upcoming festival 'Where Mind and Body Connect', the exhibition will bring visitors closer to nature as they clear their minds and get in touch with their senses. Taking place over four rejuvenating weekends from 17 June, this celebration of wellness will feature a slew of programmes that aim to enhance mental and physical wellbeing, offering individuals the perfect setting to unwind and centre themselves in the present. The exhibition is presented in partnership with BASE Entertainment Asia and developed by Sensory Odyssey Studio, in co-production with the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France. By inviting visitors to physically experience the story of our planet’s biodiversity and ecosystems, the exhibition plants the seeds of a vital message about humankind’s interdependence with nature and the need for greater appreciation of the environment. Sensory Odyssey: Into the Heart of Our Living World will run from 27 May to 29 October 2023. Tickets and Reservations Tickets are available for purchase from mid-May at all Marina Bay Sands box offices and online. It is recommended that guests pre-purchase tickets online in advance due to limited capacity and timed entry of the exhibition.

- Asia Tech x Singapore 2023
Singapore calls for a more interconnected, trusted and inclusive digital economy Asia’s flagship tech event, Asia Tech x Singapore (ATxSG), opens today at Capella Singapore with ATxSummit, an invitation-only event that sees business, tech and government leaders from around the world discuss the myriad opportunities and challenges of the digital space. Organised by Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), the Summit was kicked-off by Guest-of-Honour, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Mr. Lawrence Wong. Speaking at the opening were also Chief Executive IMDA, Mr. Lew Chuen Hong who provided the groundwork on the state of technology use today and its potential benefits to productivity and the global economy. In a featured address, H.E Kaja Kallas, Prime Minister, Republic of Estonia, spoke about how a shared digital world that is open, free and secure can only be achieved through three things - collaboration, strong partnerships and trusted connectivity. Echoing her sentiments was Dame Jacinda Ardern, former Prime Minister of New Zealand. Ms. Ardern made a special appearance with a recorded address that emphasised the importance of collaborations between the private and public sectors as we govern and navigate the deployment of generative AI tools. ATxSummit embarked on exciting panels focused on Generative AI, tech for good, navigating tech winter, immersive technologies, and digital sustainability. The first Generative AI panel, titled “Pause or Play - Generative AI's Promise, Perils and Partnerships” was moderated by Annabelle Droulers, Bloomberg Television, and included panellists H.E. Alexandra van Huffelen, Minister for Digitalisation and Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, Netherlands; Ahmed Mazhari, President, Microsoft Asia; and Keith Strier, Vice President, Worldwide AI Initiatives, Nvidia. They discussed the importance of policy and regulation by both governments and private organisations regarding AI, noting the potential existential risk that the technology possesses. The panellists also shared case studies and examples on how generative AI can benefit society across multiple segments – from healthcare, education, language training and economic productivity. It is also important for generative AI to be trusted by society for its true potential to be harnessed, with the panellists agreeing on the importance of a more holistic education process together with international regulations put in place. Along a similar vein, “Pause or Play: Generative AI’s Innovators” panel was moderated by Su Lian Jye, Chief Analyst, Applied Intelligence, Omdia and included panellists such as Ben Brooks, Head of Public Policy, Stability AI; Ori Goshen, Co-CEO, AI21 Labs; Feng-Yuan Liu, Vice President of Business Development, Aicadium, Michael Sellitto, Head of Policy (Interim), Anthropic; Joshua Wong, Co-Founder and CEO, Hypotenuse AI; Ivan Zhang, Co-Founder & CTO, Cohere and Jennifer Zhang, Co-Founder and CEO, WIZ.AI. They spoke on the unexplored areas within the workplace that AI has yet to venture into, including workflows, data analytics, and other structured and process driven protocols in which the technology could come in an increase efficiency. However, the panel also cautioned on the importance of third-party tools to assess AI use, so that performance, safety, and capability, among others are maintained. The panellists also touched on the medium that AI is deployed in and how it should be suited for its circumstances – citing examples of different uses in industries such as law enforcement and healthcare, and how AI prediction could make an impact on decision making. The “Promise to Progress: Delivering Tech for a Better World” panel explored how technology could augment current efforts in improving the lives of people around the world. Moderated by Dr Ming Tan, Founding Executive Director, Tech For Good Institute, the panel featured speakers including H.E. Eglė Markevičiūtė, Vice-Minister of the Economy and Innovation, Lithuania; H.E. Marisa Lago, Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade, USA; Mark German, Executive Director, Rise, Schmidt Futures, Peter Selfridge, Global Head of Government and Public Affairs, SAP, and Dr Kazuo Yano, Fellow, Hitachi Ltd. and CEO, Happiness Planet Ltd. The panel discussed various ways in which advancements in technology could make a positive impact in various ways, enable sustainable growth for Southeast Asia and beyond while aiding the fight against climate change. Panellists also spoke on people, regarded as the most important resource, and how reskilling, upskilling, and onboarding people onto borderless projects can help bridge cultural differences and the digital divide. The panellists also shared perspectives on how technology needs to be implemented across public services, as existing and high public expectations for private sector services have begun to shift onto government services. They also touched on the importance of generating quality connections between people, and the relationship between bridging communities and supporting talent. The summit also touched on other interactive discussions on emerging tech such as Web 3.0 and blockchain, and how it helps to build trust in the ecosystem; the importance of tech convergence to enhance digital commerce; and how both public and private sectors can collaborate to solve global challenges such as climate change.
