Delivering greater flexibility in accessing care across locations, with enhanced support from treatment through recovery

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 July 2026 – Cigna Healthcare Hong Kong today announced enhancements to its Cigna VHIS Series – Flexi Plan (Superior), strengthening its medical insurance offering to help customers better manage rising healthcare costs and access quality health care locally, regionally and overseas.

Rising medical costs and mobility reshape healthcare needs

Hong Kong’s healthcare landscape is evolving amid rising cost pressures. The Hospital Authority’s revised public healthcare fees, effective from January 1, 2026, are driving high out-of-pocket expenses. As these trends persist, individuals face greater exposure to rising and unpredictable medical costs underscoring the need for adequate health protection such as VHIS to help manage financial risk.

At the same time, increased mobility is reshaping healthcare needs. Hong Kong residents made over 117 million outbound trips in 2025, according to the Census and Statistics Department^*, driving greater cross-border spending and numbers of customers requiring medical care outside Hong Kong, particularly between Hong Kong and Mainland China. This is fueling demand for health coverage that provides seamless access to quality health care across markets.

Strengthening Care Access and Recovery Support

In response, the Cigna VHIS Series – Flexi Plan (Superior) introduces enhanced proposition¹ on access, support and recovery:

• Extended coverage in Mainland China to all Tier 3 hospitals
• Upgraded Accommodation Room Type outside Hong Kong, Macau and the United States to Private Room level²
• Rehabilitative care coverage² of up to HK$80,000 per policy year (up to 60 days)
• The coverage² for follow-up outpatient visits per Confinement after major or complex surgery, covering all visits within 365 days after discharge from Hospital

In addition, this product continues to offer value to customers with access to existing benefits including:

• Worldwide emergency assistance services³ at no additional cost
• Coverage of up to US$1,000,000 for emergency medical evacuation to an appropriate location for treatment, or for repatriation to the home country or usual country of residence
• Personalized support throughout the care process, including a dedicated one-on-one Cigna Care Manager⁴ to assist with hospital stay, surgery or other treatment arrangements, as well as access to virtual consultations⁵ with exclusive discount

Promotional Offer⁶

Eligible customers who enrol in the Cigna VHIS Series – Flexi Plan (Superior) on or before September 30, 2026 can enjoy premium discounts of six months in the first policy year.

New capability gives enterprises visibility, control and governance for AI tools running across managed Mac fleets, addressing today’s gap between usage and confidence

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 July 2026 – Jamf, the standard in managing and securing Apple at work, has announced general availability of AI Governance, a new capability within Jamf for Mac that enables IT and security teams to discover actively-used AI tools, enforce policy controls, and generate audit-ready reporting. This move makes Jamf first-to-market to deliver native, OS-level AI governance controls for Mac.

Many organizations struggle to confidently audit and report on AI tool usage across their device fleet, including both sanctioned applications and unsanctioned or prohibited tools. AI Governance provides comprehensive visibility into which AI applications are in use, along with detailed insights into how they behave on the endpoint. This enables organizations to understand AI activity at a level that network- and cloud-based reporting solutions alone cannot provide, helping security teams identify risk, support compliance, and make informed governance decisions.

With launch support for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and OpenAI Codex, the capability provides deep governance coverage across model access, tenancy, network permissions, file system controls, MCP server restrictions, and other vendor-specific AI configurations. A vendor control tracking engine continuously monitors supported AI platforms for new or updated controls, helping organizations keep governance policies current as AI tools rapidly evolve. All of these policies are in place offline and before a user’s first login to an AI agent, enforcing a foundational day-zero and tamper-resistant policy baseline.

The only native Mac control plane for enterprise AI

AI tools run natively on Apple Silicon and operate as processes that existing network proxies and cloud-based tooling cannot fully see or govern. No existing tool unifies platform-native device management, deep AI tool configuration coverage, and a workflow that translates governance intent into vendor-correct configuration on macOS.

Jamf AI Governance closes that gap by enabling visibility of Shadow AI and providing granular AI configurations natively, deployed in minutes, through the same endpoint management control plane that admins use today, offering:

• Visibility: AI application visibility and shadow AI discovery surface AI tools, agents, and LLM runtime across the fleet (including CLI-based developer tools and background agents) using Jamf’s existing telemetry agent, which uses native and high-performance macOS frameworks. No new agent is required.
• Control: AI access policy controls let IT define sanctioned tools, deploy access policy at scale, and scope different postures to different teams. Vendor-correct configurations can be applied automatically at scale.
• Governance: An executive AI posture report provides CIOs and CISOs with a snapshot-in-time summary of AI usage. The capability offers SIEM compatibility and is designed to assist companies in reporting against their existing compliance frameworks.

“AI adoption across the enterprise is moving faster than existing technology policies can keep up,” said Beth Tschida, CEO at Jamf. “Organizations need governance that matches the way AI tools actually operate on Mac. This means visibility into what’s running, policy controls enforced directly on the endpoint, and reporting that helps security teams demonstrate compliance. Our AI Governance capability delivers that natively from the same platform customers already trust to manage and secure Apple devices.”

“Like many organizations, we want to enable teams to use AI tools productively while maintaining appropriate governance and oversight,” said Sam Lalli, Security Engineering & SOC Manager at Eventbrite “What impressed us about Jamf’s AI Governance was how quickly we could apply policy across our Mac fleet without adding another point solution or creating friction for developers. Having this critical capability built into the same device management platform we already use, really simplifies AI governance for our team.”

Jamf enables partner AI solutions to thrive on the Mac

Beyond essential visibility and control, Jamf’s AI Governance policies can more effectively deploy and govern partner AI solutions.

IT and security teams can use Jamf to discover AI tools running across MacOS devices and register those agents directly with Okta for AI Agents. This gives each one a managed identity and scoped access to only the resources it is allowed to reach. Jamf controls which MCP servers can run on the device while Okta controls what cloud resources those MCP servers can reach. Rather than long-lived static keys, agents use short-lived, vaulted credentials, and every action is authorized and logged from the endpoint to the cloud. The Okta integration deploys directly from Jamf’s console without manual API setup or certificate management required.

Organizations can also configure their preferred agent builder platform, such as Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, ensuring AI traffic routes through and is processed on sanctioned cloud infrastructure.

With Jamf handling device visibility and policy enforcement, and Okta managing agent identity and access, organizations can answer: which agents ran on which endpoints, what they were authorized to reach, and what they did along the path from a MacOS device to the SaaS app.

“While some enterprise AI agents run locally, they access data across a vast cloud ecosystem, requiring coordinated security between the endpoint and identity layers,” said Harish Peri, SVP & GM of AI Security, Okta. “By anchoring Okta for AI Agents to Jamf’s endpoint enforcement, every agentic connection on a managed Mac is authenticated, authorized, and fully visible from the device to the data. Together, we’re helping organizations become secure agentic enterprises by giving them more control over what AI agents can access and on whose behalf.”

AI governance urgency is accelerating

The need for enterprise AI governance is accelerating as organizations rapidly adopt AI-powered tools across employee workflows. Jamf’s recently released AI Governance Survey found that organizations with deeply integrated AI are 40% more likely to report an incident than those still in the exploration phase, suggesting AI governance is quickly becoming an operational requirement rather than a future planning exercise.

Gartner® mentions, “With spending on AI governance expected to reach $492 million in 2026 and surpass $1 billion by 2030, organizations are reassessing the tools and strategies needed to stay ahead of both regulatory and operational risk.” Further, in its Top Cybersecurity Trends for 2026 report, Gartner also says that, “Cybersecurity leaders must identify both sanctioned and unsanctioned AI agents, enforce robust controls for each and develop incident response playbooks to address potential risks.”

Jamf’s AI Governance capability is now available in Jamf for Mac with immediate support for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and OpenAI Codex. Learn more about Jamf AI Governance at: https://www.jamf.com/solutions/ai-governance

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 July 2026 – Global beauty brand LUX, in collaboration with VML Singapore, has launched #LUXMyWill — an initiative that transforms one of social media’s most talked-about beauty trends into a formal, lasting declaration of personal style.

Over the past year, women across TikTok and Instagram have embraced hashtags such as #BuryMeInThis – a viral expression of ultimate obsession, where users name the look they would want to be remembered in. What began as playful, dramatic content quickly evolved into a cultural signal: a new generation of women declaring that they are not dressing for occasions – they are the occasion.

LUX recognised the deeper meaning behind the trend and partnered with legal experts to give it permanence. #LUXMyWill enables women to turn a fleeting social post into a formally recognised personal style wish – one that can be witnessed, documented and preserved.

The initiative invites women to declare their chosen look on camera and tag someone they trust to honour it. Legal specialists worked alongside the brand to define what gives such a declaration standing, and to create simple, accessible content explaining the process. Selected participants also received a LUX My Will box, designed to preserve their chosen outfit alongside their recorded declaration.

“Beauty has always been a powerful form of self-expression. Today, women are taking that further – not waiting for occasions, but becoming them,” said Judy Zu, Global Brand Director, LUX. “This trend showed us that when a woman chooses how she wants to be remembered, it’s not frivolous – it’s a statement of identity. We wanted to give that statement the recognition it deserves.”

The movement built organically. Creators who had previously posted under #BuryMeInThis revisited their content to make it official, tagging friends who, in turn, created declarations of their own. Each tag became a new participant. Each declaration, a witnessed moment. Each video, a permanent expression of personal style.

Through this chain of participation, #LUXMyWill expanded rapidly – creator by creator, tag by tag – turning individual expressions of glamour into a collective cultural movement.

At its core, #LUXMyWill reinforces LUX’s enduring belief: beauty is not just something you wear for a moment. It is something you embody, define, and leave behind – because you are the occasion.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 July 2026 – ICONSIAM, the global landmark and experiential destination on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, successfully concluded Pride Month 2026 with a historic celebration that captured worldwide attention and reinforced Thailand’s position as a leading Pride-Friendly Destination. On the evening of 30 June 2026, ICONSIAM created an unprecedented spectacle with Thailand’s first-ever Rainbow Drone and Fireworks Show, illuminating Bangkok’s iconic riverfront and showcasing the nation’s commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion.

The historic finale drew overwhelming interest from both local and international visitors, who gathered along the Chao Phraya River to witness “Journey of Pride Spectrum” — Thailand’s first-ever five-minute aerial display combining vibrant rainbow-themed drones and fireworks. Set against the stunning backdrop of Bangkok’s most iconic riverfront destination, the spectacular performance transformed the night sky into a powerful symbol of unity, acceptance, and hope. Images and videos of the event were rapidly shared across social media platforms around the world, generating significant online engagement and further highlighting Bangkok’s growing reputation as a welcoming global destination for LGBTQIA+ communities and travelers.

Through this extraordinary showcase of creativity, inclusivity, and cultural expression, ICONSIAM reinforced Bangkok’s potential to welcome global audiences and host world-class international events that unite people from all walks of life.

Throughout the month of June, under the “UNITY OF PRIDE: DIVERSE SERIES, ONE COMMUNITY” campaign, ICONSIAM welcomed visitors with a series of immersive experiences that celebrated the vibrant spirit of Rainbow Culture, creating memorable moments and spreading positivity both on-site and across digital platforms.

The destination was transformed into a true Pride-Friendly Destination, featuring the spectacular Pride Rainbow Waterfall on the 6th floor, Asia’s longest rainbow-themed dancing fountain show, and the dazzling ICONIC Rainbow Lighting installation created in collaboration with LightSource, illuminating the iconic façade at the building’s pinnacle in vibrant rainbow hues.

Together, these experiences powerfully championed the values of diversity, inclusion, and equality, reinforcing ICONSIAM’s commitment to creating a welcoming space where every individual is celebrated.

A month-long cultural movement showcasing over 80 Indonesian brands & creators in Singapore.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 July 2026 – MASA Singapore 2026, a multidisciplinary cultural movement celebrating Indonesia’s contemporary creative movement, will take place from 2 July to 10 August 2026 across Takashimaya Square and Gardens by the Bay in Singapore.

Carrying the theme “A Sight into the Golden Indonesia Era”, MASA presents Indonesia as a living culture—one that continuously evolves through creativity, craftsmanship, innovation, and the enduring spirit of “gotong royong“.

Spanning fashion, design, living, art, music, hospitality, and culinary experiences, MASA brings together more than 80 Indonesian brands and creators in what will become one of the largest tradeshows of Indonesian contemporary culture ever presented in Singapore.

The event unfolds through two major destinations.

At Takashimaya Square, visitors will experience a multidisciplinary tradeshow highlighting the new generation of Indonesian creativity without uprooting the very culture that defines Indonesia. Through fashion labels, designers, architects, artists, culinary concepts, hospitality brands, and musicians, MASA presents Indonesia as a progressive creative ecosystem where tradition continues to evolve into new cultural expressions.

Meanwhile, at Gardens by the Bay, MASA presents the Indonesia–Singapore Orchid Extravaganza, an immersive cultural experience exploring the relationship between people, nature, and Indonesian heritage through geographic IP, traditional architecture, endemic flora, craftsmanship, and representations of Nusantara fauna.

Together, these two experiences form a unified narrative of Indonesia today—a nation moving confidently toward the future while remaining deeply connected to its cultural roots.

“MASA is a reflection of Indonesia today. We want to present Indonesia not merely as a destination or a collection of cultural symbols, but as a living ecosystem of creators, thinkers, makers, and communities shaping the future together.” Heliandi Fajar Saputra, MASA Team.

The exhibition is built around the Indonesian principle of “gotong royong”, a collective spirit that has shaped the country’s social and creative development for generations. More than presenting culture as a static artifact, MASA highlights how collaboration, solidarity, and interconnectedness continue to fuel Indonesia’s rapidly growing creative economy.

“MASA represents a bold new chapter for Indonesian creativity on the global stage. Fueled by our cultural heritage and the collaborative spirit of gotong royong, we are moving from individual talent to collective impact. Singapore is our gateway, and with the incredible support of our stakeholders, we are ready to turn local inspiration into a global movement.” Ms. Irene Umar, Vice Minister of Creative Economy of Indonesia

Yeri Afriyani, Founder Calla also added “MASA celebrates the Indonesia we love: vibrant, curious, creative, and always evolving. It is a space where creators, communities, and ideas come together to spark meaningful connections and shape what’s next.”

Beyond the two main exhibitions, MASA Singapore 2026 will host a series of cultural programs, including:

• MASA Sound featuring Indonesian and regional musicians including Lullaboy, Marbles, Future Loundry, Pengayoman, Alan dan Presiden Tidore, and Matter Mos.
• Artist exhibitions and gallery activations with leading Indonesian contemporary artists and institutions.
• Culinary and hospitality experiences showcasing Indonesian flavors, craftsmanship, and contemporary hospitality concepts.

“MASA is a celebration of Indonesia’s small wins. It’s a space where creativity, diversity, and different stories come together to show what we’re capable of when we move forward as one. As MARBLES, we’re proud to be part of that reminder: that every small win is worth celebrating.” – MARBLES

MASA’s visual identity embraces a contemporary interpretation of Indonesian culture, translating social values and collective creativity into a modern visual language designed for global audiences. Rather than relying on literal cultural symbols, the project explores Indonesia through relationships, systems, craftsmanship, and shared experiences, reflecting how culture continues to evolve across generations.

As Indonesia’s creative industries gain increasing international recognition, MASA serves as a platform for cultural exchange, regional collaboration, and global visibility, strengthening connections between Indonesia and Singapore while introducing new voices from Southeast Asia’s largest creative economy.

MASA Singapore 2026 is supported by Astra and a collaboration of partners across public and private institutions, government, industry, tourism, transportation, media, and the creative economy ecosystem, reflecting the spirit of gotong royong that powers Indonesia’s creative movement.

Partners: BCA, CFX, Ministry of Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia, Ministry of Law of the Republic of Indonesia, the Indonesia Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS), AMMAN, InJourney, Tiket.com, Vidio, Wonderful Indonesia, Citilink, Garuda Indonesia, MAIKA, Museum of Toys, Nusaé, TALE X, and ZigZag.

“BCA is deeply honored to be a partner of MASA Singapore 2026. We are committed to fostering Indonesia’s economic growth, and we recognize the immense potential of our vibrant creative economy as a powerful engine for national development. We believe that by supporting such initiatives, we empower our creators, strengthen our national identity, and contribute to a more prosperous and globally connected Indonesia,” said Director of PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA), Santoso.

ZHONGSHAN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 July 2026 – As 2026 marks the 160th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the 6th Cross-Strait Sun Yat-sen Forum was held in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province—the hometown of the great pioneer—from June 27 to 29 under the theme “Carrying Forward Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Spirit of Endeavor and Working Together for the Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation”. This year’s forum was the largest in its history, attracting the broadest participation from Taiwan compatriots and the highest proportion of young participants to date. Around 2,000 representatives from across the Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao attended the event. Centered on cultural heritage and driven by economic and trade cooperation, the forum established a multi-level platform for cross-strait exchanges and collaboration while fostering broader consensus on integrated cross-strait development.

Distinguished guests from both sides of the Taiwan Strait attended the opening ceremony and noted in their remarks that Dr. Sun Yat-sen is a revered national pioneer shared by compatriots on both sides of the Strait. His vision of rejuvenating China remains a common spiritual legacy, and people across the Strait should carry forward his ideals and work hand in hand toward national rejuvenation. During the opening ceremony, Zhongshan Municipal People’s Government and the Association of Taiwan Investment Enterprises on the Mainland signed the Strategic Framework Agreement on Deepening Zhongshan–Taiwan Economic and Trade Cooperation to Promote Integrated Development, laying a solid institutional foundation for long-term industrial cooperation across the Strait.

A series of cultural exchange activities also took place throughout the forum. Participants enjoyed an evening tour of the century-old Sunwen West Road Arcade Pedestrian Street, immersing themselves in Zhongshan’s rich historical heritage and the vibrant cultural and tourism scene of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. They also visited the Museum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, where they studied revolutionary historical archives, bowed before Dr. Sun’s bronze statue to pay homage, and gained a deeper appreciation of his enduring ideals of “All Under Heaven Belong to the People” and “Revitalize China”. Many participants remarked that these activities provided an excellent platform for sustained exchanges among young people across the Strait and that their shared cultural roots and common heritage form a solid foundation for advancing cross-strait spiritual integration.

To further strengthen cross-strait economic cooperation and advance industrial integration between Shenzhen and Zhongshan, the forum also featured the “Taiwan Businesses Gather in Zhongshan, Industries Glow in the Greater Bay Area” 2026 Guangdong-Taiwan Economic and Trade Exchange Conference and Investment Promotion Event Celebrating the Second Anniversary of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link. A total of 19 industrial projects were signed during the event. The first group comprised seven Taiwan-invested projects spanning semiconductor supporting industries, electronic components, smart home products, high-end fitness equipment, and medical devices. The second and third groups included 12 Shenzhen-Zhongshan collaborative projects covering new energy vehicle components, industrial robotics, memory chip packaging, advanced specialty materials, and integrated cultural, tourism, and commercial developments.

During the investment promotion event, Taiwan business representatives spoke highly of Zhongshan’s business environment. Zhang Congyuan, Chairman of Huali Industrial Group, which has operated in Zhongshan for more than two decades, praised the city’s enterprise service philosophy of “staying out of businesses’ way when everything runs smoothly while providing prompt support whenever needed”. He noted that this business-friendly environment has helped the company grow into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of athletic footwear.

Guo Wenhai, secretary of the CPC Zhongshan Municipal Committee, extended a sincere invitation to Taiwan businesses and entrepreneurs to invest and establish operations in Zhongshan. He emphasized that the city offers not only strong industrial infrastructure but also high-quality government services. Zhongshan will continue to provide proactive, efficient, and dedicated support for businesses while continuously improving both its hard and soft investment environment. Leveraging the opportunities created by the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, the city aims to create broader prospects for cooperation and shared growth for enterprises from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Participants and Taiwan business representatives agreed that, taking the 160th anniversary of Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s birth as an important milestone, this year’s forum created new channels for both cultural exchanges and industrial cooperation across the Strait. Looking ahead, Zhongshan will continue to organize regular initiatives, including entrepreneurship support programs for young people from Taiwan, youth exchange activities, and Guangdong-Taiwan industrial matchmaking events. By carrying forward Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s spirit, embracing the opportunities of the Greater Bay Area, and strengthening both economic cooperation and people-to-people ties, the city will continue to contribute to a new chapter of integrated cross-strait development.

泰國曼谷 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026 年 7 月 1 日 – Central Group 旗下、專注房地產及酒店業投資的泰國領先投資管理公司 CG Capital Advisory Limited（CG Capital）今日宣布，在管理合夥人兼聯合創辦人 Phoom Chirathivat 先生領導下，達成一項重要策略投資里程碑。該公司同時公布對泰國豪華住宅及酒店市場的前瞻願景，並正式開放InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke銷售展廳。項目發展總值達 55 億泰銖，兩房單位售價由 4,480 萬泰銖起；正式公開發售前，預訂率已超過 60%，清楚反映市場對 CG Capital 策略及其世界級標準的信心。

CG Capital 的願景：洞悉全球波動，將泰國定位為世界級目的地

「全球市場正在放緩，但泰國仍穩守其作為世界級目的地的地位。來自泰國本地及國際高淨值買家的需求並未減退。要說有任何變化，就是這些買家在挑選資產時變得更加審慎。這與泰國投資促進委員會所見情況一致：自 2022 年以來，該機構已向超過 6,000 名全球富有人士批出長期居留簽證（Long-Term Resident Visa, LTR）。泰國已不再只是旅遊目的地，而是高淨值人士選擇長期居住及投資的目的地。」Phoom 先生表示。

領先亞洲：「選對品牌、夥伴與產品」（Right Brand, Right Partners, Right Product）策略

高端住宅需求上升，帶動 CG Capital 將投資策略轉向品牌住宅，這是市場增長最快的細分市場之一。泰國目前在亞洲品牌住宅市場佔最大份額，佔區內總市值 266 億美元的 23.3%，領先菲律賓（17.3%）及南韓（11.6%）。CBRE《Global Branded Residences》報告按項目數目將泰國列為全球第 4 位，曼谷及普吉亦躋身全球前 10 位。

Phoom Chirathivat 先生補充：「InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke 的成功，關鍵在於洞悉全球趨勢。我們的獨特之處，在於『選對品牌、夥伴與產品』（Right Brand, Right Partners, Right Product），並配合曼谷核心地段素坤逸（Sukhumvit）的優勢。我們並非追逐潮流，而是研判市場，並以對泰國的長期信心為基礎。」

從私募股權基因到世界級產品開發

作為泰國房地產及酒店業界規模最大的私募股權基金管理公司，CG Capital 的獨特之處，在於將機構投資思維貫穿開發流程的每一個環節。評估長期資產價值時，CG Capital 同時從資本增值及居住體驗兩個角度出發。

CG Capital 下一步及銷售展廳正式開幕

展望未來，Phoom 先生表示，CG Capital 將繼續在酒店業尋求新的投資機會，為泰國房地產業訂立新標準。「截至目前，預訂率超過 60%，是市場對 CG Capital 投下的明確信任票。如今銷售展廳已向公眾開放，我們相信現場展示的設計與工藝，將推動項目迅速邁向銷售目標，進一步鞏固 CG Capital 作為泰國領先品牌住宅發展商的地位。」他表示。

InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke 銷售展廳將於 7 月 4 日至 5 日期間開放，並於其後繼續歡迎訪客預約參觀示範單位。有興趣人士可透過 https://residencesasoke.com/ 或致電 092-989-2616 預約專屬私人參觀。

拓展市場觸角：向國際買家推介項目

在曼谷銷售展廳開放的同時，CG Capital 亦繼續將 InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke 直接推介予國際買家。該項目下一站將於「Thailand: A New Chapter Begins」專屬展示活動亮相；活動由 CBRE Thailand 聯同台灣蘇富比國際房地產（Taiwan Sotheby’s International Realty）於台北主辦，時間為 2026 年 7 月 3 日至 4 日，下午 1 時 30 分至 5 時，地點為 W Taipei（Strategy Room 1）。

CG Capital 視台灣為具長期居住需求潛力的客源市場。根據CBRE Thailand及泰國房地產資訊中心（REIC）資料，台灣買家現為泰國房地產市場第四大外國買家群體，2023 年至 2025 年間成交金額平均每年增長 27%。對這個群體而言，泰國的吸引力在於地理位置鄰近、入場價格具競爭力，以及適合長期居住的生活方式。

對 CG Capital 而言，這項活動讓CG Capital能直接了解台灣高淨值人士如何看待在泰國長期居住及投資的機會。台灣有興趣人士可聯絡台灣蘇富比國際房地產 0800.887.288（台灣），或 CBRE Thailand +66(0) 81 742 6624（泰國）。
