Experts tackle marine management systemic challenges to improve ocean health

KUALA LUMPUR, June 29 (Bernama) -- Marine protected areas (MPAs) are key tools for reducing threats to biodiversity, safeguarding marine and coastal habitats, building climate solutions, and supporting human needs through sustainable use.

By 2030, The Convention on Biological Diversity’s Global Biodiversity Framework may include an ambitious target of expanding MPA coverage to 30 percent. Nevertheless, less than three per cent of marine protected areas are meeting their objectives in the face of accelerating local and global threats.

To tackle this challenge, a team of experts is convening at the United Nations Oceans Conference in June 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal in a side event entitled, ‘Quality Matters: Enhancing Governance, Effective Management and Resilience of Marine Protected Areas for Multiple Co-benefits’.

The event includes speakers from the private sector, local marine science agencies, representatives from non-profit organisations, governments, and intergovernmental organisations.

Dr Lizzie McLeod, Global Reefs Lead for The Nature Conservancy notes: “Strong partnerships including the private sector, governments, NGOs, researchers, and local communities are essential to improving ocean health.”

Building on this event, the United Nations Environment Programme, The Nature Conservancy, and other conservation partners, with support from Mary Kay Inc are developing a suite of decision support tools for marine managers that improve marine management, support the sustainable financing of marine protected areas, and guide marine habitat restoration building on best practices worldwide.

"Mary Kay is delighted to support TNC, in collaboration with UNEP and other experts from around the world, in an effort to protect our world's most precious assets: oceans," said Deborah Gibbins, Mary Kay Chief Operating Officer in a statement.

"These organisations are on the frontlines of the fight to preserve our waterways, and we're hopeful that with Mary Kay's support, they'll have the tools and resources needed to ensure our oceans are healthy for generations to come.

As governments refine their conservation targets, it is timely to highlight new innovations and technologies that help countries meet global biodiversity and sustainable development goals.

EIG launches new renewable energy platform in Chile

KUALA LUMPUR, June 30 (Bernama) -- EIG, an institutional investor to the global energy sector and one of the world’s leading infrastructure investors, has launched Grupo Cerro, a new renewable energy platform in Chile.

R. Blair Thomas, EIG Chairman and CEO said: “The transaction is expected to provide portfolio synergies, create operating efficiencies and enhance technological and geographic diversification for Grupo Cerro.

“After the completion and synchronisation of the ground-breaking Cerro Dominador solar power plant in 2021, the first CSP project in Latin America, this transaction marks another significant milestone in our strategy to invest in high-quality assets, best-in-class teams and energy infrastructure supporting the energy transition in Chile.”

Meanwhile, Fernando Gonzalez, CEO of Grupo Cerro said: “This transaction advances our commitment to Chile’s growth.

“These plants, combined with our Likana Solar and Pampa Union projects now under development, will help diversify our renewable energy portfolio geographically to be able to further secure low-cost renewable energy production for the Chilean market and continue supplying clean power throughout the country 24 hours a day.”

The newly formed entity includes EIG-owned Cerro Dominador plants and the recently acquired ANPAC, the owner of a portfolio of 11 small and medium run-of-river hydroelectric power plants in the O’Higgins, El Maule, Bio Bio and La Araucania regions.

According to a statement, the 110 MW ANPAC portfolio includes operating plants and projects at various stages of construction and development in both the spot and stabilised-tariff markets.

Following the acquisition, Grupo Cerro now manages over 280 MW of installed capacity in Chile, including the Cerro Dominador Photovoltaic (PV) and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants.

EIG is headquartered in Washington, D.C. with offices in Houston, London, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong and Seoul.

CITELINE AND NORSTELLA UNITE TO OFFER LIFE SCIENCES CLIENTS A FULL SUITE OF COMMERCIAL AND CLINICAL SOLUTIONS

The new organization will help life sciences companies improve strategic decision-making and accelerate the mission of smoothing access to therapy from pipeline to patient


Yardley, PA, June 29 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Norstella, an organization that helps life sciences companies navigate the complexities of the drug life cycle, and Citeline (formerly Pharma Intelligence)—a leading provider of specialist intelligence, data and software for clinical trials, drug development and regulatory compliance—have announced an agreement to merge the companies.

By uniting Norstella, which is comprised of four prominent pharmaceutical solutions providers—Evaluate, MMIT, Panalgo and The Dedham Group—with Citeline, the combined company will be well positioned to help life sciences companies reach patients faster by providing clients with the intelligence and answers they need from early clinical development through to commercialization. This move reflects the shared goal of becoming an end-to-end solution provider, helping patients access life-saving therapies.

As life sciences companies drive innovation toward more specialized therapeutics across all disease areas including oncology and rare disease, and patient populations become more targeted, they need to make critical decisions about how to bring the right drugs to market, how to construct clinical trials leveraging the latest innovations in real-world data and data science—and with end points that consider future payer reimbursement decisions—and, ultimately, how to reach patients in need.

“Accelerating innovation and ensuring that every patient gets the therapy that they need is our North Star,” said Norstella CEO Mike Gallup. “By bringing clinical and commercial intelligence together—along with real-world data—the combined company will be well positioned to deliver on its mission.”

Together, Norstella and Citeline will play a critical role in helping pharmaceutical manufacturers plan for and overcome barriers to access, not just during clinical trials but at every stage in the drug development life cycle. Citeline’s solutions, including its portfolio of clinical trial products, provide insights that improve the speed and efficiency of clinical trials and reduce risk. Now, the Citeline solutions—along with MMIT’s PAR data and other complementary Norstella data assets—can be powered by Panalgo’s Instant Health Data Analytics platform to provide transformative answers that will improve workflow and decision-making and, ultimately, help products get to market and to patients quicker than ever before.

“At Citeline, our mission is to accelerate the connection of treatments to patients and patients to treatments. Ultimately, this marriage of commercial and clinical capabilities will advance the mission and enable the pharmaceutical C-suite to manage portfolio strategy like never before,” said Ramsey Hashem, CEO, and Jay Nadler, Executive Chair, of Citeline. “This includes deciding which drug to bring to market, what new indications to pursue for a drug and how to target patients for clinical trials more quickly and with reduced cost. And now, this includes understanding how to design clinical trials that yield the types of data that payers need to make appropriate reimbursement and formulary decisions.”

“It’s about making a difference in the lives of patients,” said Gallup. “This move will help us make our vision of a more innovative, accessible healthcare marketplace a reality.”

The merger is expected to close in the second half of 2022 subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

Cloudbeds acquires leading guest engagement solution, Whistle

KUALA LUMPUR, June 28 (Bernama) -- Cloudbeds, the hospitality management platform powering more reservations and happier guests for lodging businesses around the globe, announced today at HITEC 2022 the acquisition of the industry’s leading guest engagement solution, Whistle.

Together, the companies will integrate their best-in-class technologies to remove friction points in the guest journey through a single platform.

“The term contactless is becoming far too synonymous with hospitality,” said Richard Castle, COO and Co-Founder of Cloudbeds. “We want more contact between lodging businesses and their guests to create purposeful touchpoints, answer questions and provide guidance through the entire guest journey.

“Research shows that engaged guests spend more, leave better reviews and the majority prefer to communicate via digital channels — Whistle makes it all possible. Whether it’s a booking engine chat or front desk text request, Whistle positions Cloudbeds customers to be a part of the guest journey from discovery to post-stay, removing barriers that might hinder a booking or positive review.”

Founded in 2015, Whistle has been rated the no. 1 guest messaging software by Hotel Tech Report for five consecutive years.

“Our goal has always been to give lodging businesses a unique, easy-to-use solution that simplifies and streamlines the way they communicate,” said Christopher Hovanessian, CEO and Co-Founder of Whistle.

“Cloudbeds has a clear vision for building a better, more frictionless hospitality experience via a unified platform. Together, we can make a greater impact on the industry that benefits not only the guest, but also the property staff and the lodging business itself.”

Following its Series D funding announcement in November, Cloudbeds has doubled down on its commitment to “more reservations, happier guests” with three acquisitions and the introduction of several new product offerings to address major pain points for both operators and guests.

Driven by an aggressive product roadmap, the company has nearly tripled in size over the past year, with more solutions set to roll out in Q3 designed to help hoteliers grow their businesses.

RESUMPTION OF PRODUCTION AT SHANGHAI FACTORIES

 SINGAPORE, June 28 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of CDW Holding Limited (the “Company”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) wishes to update shareholders on the status of production at the Group’s factories in Shanghai. The Group’s two factories located in Shanghai under its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Crystal Display Components (Shanghai) Co., Limited (“SHCD”) and Tomoike Precision Machinery (Shanghai) Co., Limited (“SHTP”) had experienced temporary stoppages due to the Shanghai Municipal Government’s COVID-19 lockdown (the “Shanghai Lockdown”), which commenced on 1 April 2022.

As previously announced, the SHCD factory officially resumed its partial production on 9 May 2022 under a ‘closed loop’ manufacturing arrangement. Following the announcement to end COVID-19 lockdown by the Shanghai Municipal Government on 1 June 2022, both SHCD and SHTP factories have officially resumed production.

In Jiading district, where both SHCD and SHTP are located, there has been a normalisation of factory operations with no movement restrictions within the district. However, outward deliveries of goods to other provinces (“Outward Logistics”) are still subject to each destination’s local requirements, e.g. for drivers to provide 48 hours negative PCR test results and to remain in the vehicle cabin while goods are unloaded. Alternatively, Outward Logistics can be outsourced to logistics companies to handle. The delivery of raw materials to a factory (“Inward Logistics”) from suppliers or the port has returned to normal, with a permit being required.

The Group’s key customer has taken the initiative to have the backlog of orders in April and May for digital instrument panels for the automotive industry to be completed by September, on top of normal existing orders, including increasing production capacity. On the other hand, a major portion of the Office Automation business undertaken by SHTP has not received any instructions to date from customers to fulfill its April and May backlog orders, so these orders, might not be recovered. All customer visits to the two factories have been stopped for the time being, as these visits are still subject to quarantine.     

The production stoppages at the Group’s factories are likely to have an impact on the Group’s performance for the financial year ending 31 December 2022 (“FY2022”) and the Group will update shareholders once the financial impact of the production stoppages can be determined, if any. The Group’s other factories in China, located in Dongguan and Wuxi, have not had any production stoppages to date.

Shareholders of the Company and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company. If in doubt as to the action they should take, shareholders and investors should consult their stockbrokers, bankers, solicitors, accountants, tax advisers or other professional advisers.
