MDIS Expands Campus in Dushanbe as Part of Growth Plans in Central Asia

MDIS Dushanbe

SINGAPORE, May 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As part of its globalisation push, the Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS), Singapore’s oldest not-for-profit professional institute for lifelong learning, is proud to announce its third overseas campus in Tajikistan, the capital of Dushanbe.

As a heritage brand of 65 years, MDIS ensures it stays relevant by continuing to grow with the nation and evolving with industry needs. It is striving to offer more skills-based programmes and enhance its infrastructure and facilities to help students gain and develop industry-relevant skills. Over the last decade, MDIS has also delivered their ‘Singapore brand’ education in the region to not only achieve growth for MDIS but also to contribute in solidifying Singapore’s reputation as a strong regional education hub.

MDIS has also grown beyond partnerships with overseas universities and has effectively gone global with campuses abroad. Capitalising on the ‘Singapore brand’, MDIS has overseas campuses that include MDIS Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and MDIS Malaysia, Johor. These campuses were opened in 2008 and 2013 respectively.

Set up in 2007, MDIS Tashkent is MDIS’ first overseas campus and is an institution of choice for students in Uzbekistan, Central Asia. From the initial batch in 2008, MDIS Tashkent now has more than 5,000 students from countries such as South Korea, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan studying at MDIS Tashkent, and numerous academic degree programmes were offered in partnership with renowned UK universities such as the University of Bangor, University of Sunderland and Teesside University.

With the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)’s focus on the connectivity between Europe and Central Asia, allowing for easy transportation of goods and services in trade, tourism and agriculture, there will be immense opportunities and potential for graduates and the people of Central Asia to engage in foreign investments, economic and cultural activities in turbocharging their economy.

In September 2016, China inaugurated a railway line running through Uzbekistan to Afghanistan and Pakistan and intends to embark further on connecting Uzbekistan to Kyrgyzstan onwards to China. Tajikistan does have a small rail network, terminating in Dushanbe, with links to Uzbekistan and ultimately to Moscow. There has also been talk of a Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Tajikistan (TAT) railway that would link west to Iran and the International North-South Transportation Corridor. Tajikistan, with its population of 9.5 million, has been enjoying strong economic growth for nearly 30 years since its independence in 1991, mainly based on the export of aluminium and a significant cotton industry. But sustaining growth in the future will need substantially higher growth in private investment and export diversification.

Dr Eric Kuan, President of MDIS, said: “Our first-mover advantage in setting up a world-class educational institution in Tashkent has given us significant leverage in one of the fastest-growing regions in the world.  According to the IMF, the regional economic outlook for Central Asia remains robust, with growth in the region expected to hit about 4.7% in 2020. Despite the global Covid-19 pandemic, the public gross financing needs in most emerging markets in the Central Asia region are expected to remain elevated in 2021-22.

“This strong growth reflects the expansion of oil and gas production and other extractive industries as well as firm growth in both domestic and external demand. The favourable outlook presents a great opportunity for MDIS as the region continues to require professional talent and a higher educated workforce to support the structural transformation that is driving these dynamic emerging economies.”

“MDIS Tashkent has established a solid reputation in Central Asia, which is reflected in the 10-fold increase of our student intake in just 10 years in Tashkent. We are therefore well-poised to grow our presence and extend our reach in the Central Asian region to strengthen our leadership position as a strong global educational institution,” said Dr Eric Kuan. The Central Asian market represent new frontiers for Singapore business that seek to expand into new markets. They have laid a strong foundation and built a reputation for excellence in these countries. While Tajikistan has 27 state and private universities, MDIS offers the attraction and value of a Singapore-accredited education, supported by its numerous collaborations with reputable universities from the UK. This partnership model with a quasi-government agency, the State Unitary Enterprise, Tajinvest and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Tajikistan, has boosted Singapore’s reputation in the field of education and academic excellence. With the active support of Tajikistan’s government, which provides valuable resources such as land and buildings for the set-up of MDIS Dushanbe.

Emerging economies will form the cornerstone of MDIS’ expansion plans in the medium term. These economies present exceptional growth opportunities driven by rising population numbers and a surging thirst for higher education and a more educated workforce to fuel socio-economic transformations.

To meet the increasing demand for higher education in Central Asia, MDIS Dushanbe has in its pipeline a slew of new business, industrial management, international tourism and hospitality, information technology and cybersecurity network and engineering postgraduate and degree courses. Occupying the former premise of the Public Administration Academy in Dushanbe, MDIS is confident to boost Singapore’s education and offers quality and academic excellence in collaboration with four renowned UK universities.

TES Hosts the Father of the European Green Deal, Executive Frans Timmermans, at the Port of Rotterdam

Executives from TES and the Port of Rotterdam Authority recently welcomed Frans Timmermans and esteemed European Commissioners to the Port to discuss TES’s sustainable battery treatment strategy.

Port of Rotterdam Visit

SINGAPORE, May 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Battery development and production are critical for Europe in the context of clean energy and automotive transition. There is a huge rise in the global demand for lithium-ion batteries and a report from the European Commission found that the EU could account for 17% of this global demand by 2030, the second-highest share worldwide.

To tackle this challenge, the EU has published a proposal for a new Sustainable Batteries Regulation, as part of its wider strategy for a climate-neutral, resource-efficient EU economy.

As the executive vice president for the Green Deal; Frans Timmermans is responsible for a comprehensive set of policy initiatives, designed to allow the European Union to become the first carbon-neutral continent on the planet by 2050.

TES is committed to improving the collection and recycling of portable and industrial batteries in Europe, and the new Port of Rotterdam facility helps support the European Union’s goals laid out in the European Green Deal. To extend on existing facilities in Grenoble (France) and Singapore, TES plans to have its site operational on the strategically located Port of Rotterdam, by the end of 2022.

The existing 10,000 square metre (approx. 110,000 sq. feet) facility, has the option to extend to over 40,000 square metres (approx. 430,000 sq. ft). The facility will be the first lithium battery recycling plant in the Netherlands and will have 10,000 tonnes of shredding capacity each year, using the award-winning hydrometallurgical process that focuses on the recovery of nickel, cobalt, and lithium as a precursor feedstock for the battery industry.

Commenting on the recent visit by Frans Timmermans, Thomas Holberg Global Vice President of TES Sustainable Battery Solutions said: “Our mission at TES is to ‘close the loop’ on lithium battery production by encouraging reuse and improving the collection and recycling of the scarce metals and materials they contain. Discussing our battery recycling strategy with Frans Timmermans, we are more excited than ever about how climate sustainability and economic prosperity go hand in hand as a key tenet of the Green Deal.”

As well as the Port of Rotterdam site, TES has plans to open further facilities in Shanghai and a larger site in Northern China over the coming years. The facilities will use the award-winning proprietary technology perfected in TES’s flagship facility in Singapore.

Jetex announces its first FBO in London, a top-tier destination for the brand’s robust international expansion

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, May 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — London is a natural next destination for Jetex, an award-winning global leader in executive aviation, and it becomes the brand’s 35th international FBO location. Jetex entered in an agreement with Avia Solutions Group to operate the FBO at Hangar 510 at Biggin Hill Airport (EGKB/BQH).

The airport rightfully holds a pride of place in British History. Opened in 1916, the property was vacated by the Royal Air Force in 1992 and has operated as a privately-owned civilian airfield dedicated to business and civilian aviation ever since.

Today, it is recognized as a global center of excellence and the second private jet operation in the UK with 23% of London’s market share after Farnborough (31%) and ahead of Luton (22%). The airport typically connects flights to more than 750 destinations across over 70 countries, with over 90% of destinations being in Europe and 5% long haul.

Jetex London is conveniently located just 12 miles from Canary Wharf and 15 miles from Central London, with helicopter transfers taking passengers to and from the heart of the British capital in just six minutes, with limousine transfers taking less than 50 minutes.

The modern airport runway (1,806 meters) allows most aircraft to operate without payload or range restrictions, including non-stop transatlantic flights.

“We are pleased with our arrival in London. Jetex already has a strong presence in Continental Europe with a flagship private jet terminal at Paris Le Bourget, and the new flagship Jetex London is a natural evolution of our operations. Jetex passengers will enjoy a seamless travel experience complemented by the greatest levels of luxury hospitality, unseen before in the market.” said Adel Mardini, Founder & CEO of Jetex.

Jetex London will offer a suite of flagship services for passengers and crews traveling through the airport. It is a seamless, intuitive and dedicated route for Jetex customers to begin or end their journey in supreme comfort. The on-site U.K. Border Force and customs control will ensure that passengers and crew enjoy an efficient ground experience, while Jetex will also offer assistance with ground transport, hotel accommodation, catering, concierge services and much more.

”We are very delighted to welcome this new partnership with Jetex, one of the top names in executive aviation, and are looking forward to operating in Biggin Hill together. The airport is already one of the key points for Avia Solutions Group, as our subsidiary JETMS Completions is successfully running aircraft interior and exterior completions there. Thus, the partnership is opening even more opportunities for further business expansion as well as collaboration on future projects. We see great things ahead,” said Vygaudas Ušackas, Member of the Board of Directors at Avia Solutions Group.

“Jetex is a globally admired brand and we are proud to have the company join our ecosystem of aviation businesses here at London Biggin Hill Airport. We know Jetex will provide an excellent continuity of service and we are looking forward to seeing them thrive,” said Robert Walters, Commercial Director, London Biggin Hill Airport.

With natural materials, soft lighting, and floor-to-ceiling windows, Jetex London is designed to feel like a warm, contemporary space. The 1,900 sq.m. private terminal will include several supremely comfortable lounges of understated luxury designed with passenger privacy in mind, a cigar lounge, retail and entertainment areas, fully-equipped boardrooms, shower suites and much more. Crews will appreciate a full range of on-site recreational and flight support facilities.

Jetex London marks the company’s first entry into the United Kingdom as it looks forward to growing its operations in the market.

Schneider Electric calls for a rethink of investment priorities to break the supply vs. demand deadlock and accelerate climate action at the WEF in Davos

  • Schneider Electric presents a new framework for future-proofing buildings developed in conjunction with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to accelerate the investment needed to deliver a greener urban built environment
  • New modeling reveals two to three-fold increase required in rate at which European building stock is retrofitted to meet Paris Agreement commitments
  • The company announces the creation of 2,500 green jobs worldwide to aid the acceleration of climate action across all facets of the economy

Rueil-Malmaison (France), May 20, Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, is calling for an urgent rethink of investment priorities and greater collective action to spur global climate change efforts at the upcoming WEF in Davos.

Scenarios by Schneider’s Sustainability Research Institute shows that stimulating a demand-led transition is the only scenario in which emissions will fall fast enough to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. The Research Institute will be launching the Towards Net Zero Buildings: a practical pathway e-book at Davos, looking at how the current deadlock of supply vs. demand can be broken. Key findings include:

  • Just 1-1.5% of building stock in Europe is renovated each year. Renovation levels need to reach 3% a year to meet Paris commitments
  • Financing remains biggest obstacle to investment in sustainable buildings1 but investing in decarbonization technologies, digital and city ecosystem services maximize value creation for all stakeholders
  • Energy efficiency technology provides significant opportunities to reduce energy consumption ranging from 10 to 60%, depending on geographies and quality of existing assets
  • Digital energy efficiency solutions bring 20-30 percent carbon abatement across the building stock, bringing highly competitive paybacks and cost savings for consumers, well below 8 years in average

The e-book provides a practical roadmap for governments and industries to balance the costs of the energy transition with the additional burden on communities, particularly in the current unpredictable climate. It also features a new framework for future-proofing buildings for buildings developed in conjunction with WEF which presents a model and a toolkit to accelerate investment to decarbonize cities. Importantly, the framework emphasizes the need to unlock value for all. Through the adoption of existing technologies that abate carbon and deliver a net benefit to consumers, while creating value for the economy and communities.

Schneider Electric has been on its own sustainability journey, paving the way as an Impact company for the past 20 years, and believes that accelerating action against a backdrop of high and volatile energy prices, requires a shift in strategy. In addition to investment to increase renewable energy capacity, creating demand for clean energy via a consumer-driven transition is now essential.

In line with this approach, Schneider Electric is also announcing the creation of 2,500 green jobs worldwide to aid the acceleration of climate action across all facets of the economy. The jobs, primarily field services roles, will focus on helping Schneider’s customers digitize and decarbonize facilities, modernizing assets by promoting a sustainable and circular economy approach and providing advice on sustainability strategies.

“Investment in renewable energy must continue apace, but every energy transition in history has been driven by market demand. Shifting to a consumer-centric, demand-led investment approach will not only deliver decarbonization at scale, but will also achieve more encouraging outcomes than current modelling suggests,” – said Jean-Pascal Tricoire, Schneider Electric’s Chairman & CEO.  “Consumers lead the change. This means demand leads the change. Disrupting demand with new technology and bringing benefits to the user must be the priority.”

Schneider Electric’s representatives at DAVOS 2022

In his role as co-chair of the Forum’s Net Zero Carbon Cities initiative, Jean-Pascal Tricoire will call for a change in investment priorities. This requires moving from cost to value-centric investment criteria, expanding the current focus on infrastructure to investments that fuel demand and moving from over-indexing on hardware to software-enabled sustainable solutions. He will also discuss the need for greater collaboration to move to a low-carbon economy faster.

Luc Remont, Schneider Electric’s Executive Vice President of International Operations will talk about the importance of digital technologies in enabling the energy transition in emerging markets and major new partnerships in India, East Asia and South America to empower workforces and train more people in energy management.

Barbara Frei, Schneider Electric’s Executive Vice President of Industrial Automation will discuss the repercussions of a switch to an increasingly supply-led economy and how transformation from a linear to a circular supply chain model is essential for a sustainable future. She will be talking about the struggles companies face moving from resource intensive production and consumption to low carbon, efficient processes and the role of technologies, collaboration platforms and interoperability in solving these challenges. She will also be discussing the need for manufacturers to refocus their digital transformation journeys towards workforce engagement to attract talent and create safer working environments. She’ll be sharing her perspectives on how augmented automation can empower workforces and improve productivity.

Peter Weckesser, Schneider Electric’s Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Officer will provide perspectives on the transformative role of data and artificial intelligence in advancing business strategies that simultaneously address the biggest challenges ahead of industries: resilience and decarbonization. He will also be discussing the opportunities and values that can be captured today through digital ecosystem collaboration and deployment of innovative technologies at scale – and across the enterprise.

Philippines deploys buoys as ‘sovereign markers’ in South China Sea

The Philippines has installed buoys and opened some command posts to mark out and assert its sovereignty in waters and islets it claims in the contested South China Sea, the country’s coast guard chief said Friday.

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) set up five navigational buoys, each one 30-feet long and bearing the national flag, near Lawak (Nanshan), Likas (West York), Parola (Northeast Cay), and Pag-asa (Thitu) islands from May 12 to 14, Adm. Artemio Abu, the service’s commandant, told a local radio station.

Abu hailed “the resounding success of installing our sovereign markers.”

On May 17, he said, the coast guard also established new command observation posts on Lawak, Likas, and Parola to boost Manila’s “maritime domain awareness” in the South China Sea, which Filipinos refer to as the West Philippine Sea, and is crisscrossed heavily by international vessels. An estimated $5 trillion in international trade transits through the waterway yearly.

Several Vietnamese and Chinese fishing boats, as well as China Coast Guard vessels, he noted, had been spotted in the vicinity of Pag-asa Island, the largest Philippine-held territory that houses a Filipino civilian community.

“The ships from Vietnam and China showed respect for the mission we undertook,” Abu said, adding that the Philippine Coast Guard boats were prepared to challenge the foreign vessels in case they interfered with the mission to install the navigational buoys and command posts.

In the past, China Coast Guard ships had blocked Philippine vessels on resupply missions to outposts manned by the Philippine Marines in the disputed waters. In November 2021, CCG ships fired water cannon toward Philippine supply boats, which were en route to Ayungin (Second Thomas) Shoal.

Sourced from Spain, the buoys are equipped with “modern marine aids to navigation” including lanterns, specialized mooring systems, and a satellite-based remote monitoring system able to transmit data coast guard headquarters in Manila, Abu said.

The lack of this capability was highlighted in recent years, when vessels from other claimant states in the maritime region, particularly from China and Vietnam, became more and more present in Philippine-claimed waters.

The new coast guard outposts will “improve our capabilities in promoting maritime safety, maritime search and rescue, and marine environmental protection,” Abu said.

“These [outposts] will optimize the strategic deployment of PCG assets by monitoring the movement of merchant ships in its surrounding waters and communicating maritime incidents to the PCG National Headquarters [in Manila].”

Separately, the head of the Philippine Commission on Human Rights lauded the coast guard for its actions in “asserting the sovereignty of the Philippines over the disputed territories where China has constructed artificial islands and interfered with Filipino fishing activities.”

“No State should deprive our Filipino fisher folk from carrying out their livelihood in our national territories. The installation of navigational buoys is a notice to the rest of the international community that the Philippines is asserting sovereignty over the Kalayaan Island Group,” Jacqueline Ann de Guia, the commission’s chairwoman, said in a statement Friday.

Chinese coast guard vessels and fishing trawlers have, in recent years, also blockaded or limited Filipino fishermen’s access to their traditional fishing grounds in the South China Sea, such as Scarborough Shoal and the waters around Pag-asa.

On Friday, the embassies of China and other states with territorial claims in the sea did not immediately respond to requests from BenarNews for comment.

The Philippines, China, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Vietnam each have territorial claims in the South China Sea. Indonesia does not count itself as a party to territorial disputes but has claims to South China Sea waters off the Natuna Islands.

A 2016 ruling by a tribunal of the Permanent Court of Arbitration affirmed Manila’s sovereign rights to a 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone and an extended continental shelf, and declared Beijing’s sweeping claim to virtually the entire sea invalid under international law.

Beijing rejected the ruling and proceeded to occupy the waters with its vast flotilla of government and fishing vessels. The international community has urged China to comply with the ruling, as other claimant states have made efforts to assert their rights and deploy more of their own vessels to the disputed waters.

Marcos: On the way forward with China

The coast guard’s installation of the buoys and command observation posts occurred only days after the Philippine general election, in which Ferdinand Marcos Jr. won the presidential election in a landslide, according to an unofficial tally of votes.

On July 1, he will succeed President Rodrigo Duterte, who will be leaving office at the end of a constitutionally limited six-year term, during which he cultivated warmer bilateral ties with China and was seen as relatively soft on the issue of territorial disputes.

The installations also took place in the same week that Marcos had a “lengthy” telephone call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, who congratulated him for his victory in the May 9 polls.

“We talked about the way forward for the China-Philippine relationship,” Marcos said in a statement on May 18. “So, it was very good, very substantial.”

Marcos, 64, is widely seen here as someone who would carry on with Duterte’s friendly policies towards Beijing over the maritime issue.

“I told him that in my view, the way forward is to expand our relationship, not only diplomatic, not only trade, but also in culture, even in education, even in knowledge, even in health to address whatever minor disagreements that we have right now,” Marcos said.

“And I told him that we must not allow what conflicts or difficulties we have now between our two countries to become historically important,” he said.
