Announcement

This year’s China International Gold, Jewellery & Gem Fair – Shanghai (Shanghai Jewellery Fair) promises yet another exciting edition that’s highlighted by stronger crossover elements between traditional or conventional jewellers and the wider applied arts and lifestyle-related sectors. The event is organized by UBM China (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd.

The fascinating mingling of jewellery with other fashion products, including bags, beauty elements, apparel, art works and other accessories, will be on elaborate display at Jewellery Life Pavilion 2.0.

“Jewellery Life Pavilion 2.0 was embraced by our clients and guests at its launch in 2017,” says Teddy Tan, Event Manager, China Jewellery Fairs, UBM China (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. “It was a winning proposition for all. It resulted to increased awareness about the brands and products of our exhibitors, whilst our buyers had valuable ‘face time’ with current or potential suppliers and an opportunity to preview and review the products right there.”

Bringing a signature style all their own to the pavilion are several notable jewellers, including Kelly Xie Fine Jewelry, Chic Chu Fine Jewelry, designer brand Alice, and international precious gems supplier P.N. Gems. Joining them are overseas fashion brands, including Gdesignare (Philippines), KeCapunG (Indonesia), Nature SIAM (Thailand), PERA (Singapore), TSAR (Malaysia), WannaSuvarnamani Co., Ltd (Thailand) and Gem (Singapore).

What’s more, the cooperation between the Shanghai International Brand Jewelry Center and Shanghai Jewellery Fair is instrumental in providing the unifying thread between various lifestyle elements, such as clothing, handbags, leather, cosmetics, home furnishings and artworks. Carrying these elements through to everyday life unlocks a whole new way of living for the Chinese high end consumer. This is particularly true for millennial consumers, aged 20 to 34, who are major drivers of China’s lifestyle market. According to consultancy Bain & Co’s 2017 China Luxury Report, cosmetics, women’s wear and jewellery were the top categories for this age group, helping boost their sales by 20% annually.

Knowing what resonates with consumers, what next? This is where the Shanghai Jewellery Fair comes in. Launching the “Crossover·Shining Your Life” programme, experts in their field are at hand to showcase snippets of an exquisite lifestyle: jewellery designers, apparel designers and makeup artists transform the looks of the models; a fitness trainer advises the models on their postures; and an interior designer sets up the backdrop for the scenes. All these are aimed to encourage and inspire.

A summit during the fair sets the stage for brainstorming for more crossover ideas; the kinds that would spark innovations and perhaps alliances that will open up business opportunities for all involved. Speakers renowned in their field will provide insights on the promising future of crossover collaboration and how the jewellery business can harness such alliance. They are:

SHIRLEY HOU, JEWELLERY DESIGNER. Shirley is the president of Inchee Jewelry, a promising independent designer brand that got the nod of esteemed publications BAZAAR Jewelry and Jewellery News Asia. She has graced a CCTV programme as a special jewellery entrepreneur guest.
MICHELLE MA, JEWELLERY DESIGNER. Michelle is the Design Director and CEO of Inchee Jewelry. She holds a Polished Diamond Grader certificate, a Colored Stones Grader certificate and a Pearl Grader certificate from the International Gemological Institute.
ECHO YU, INTERIOR DESIGNER. Echo is the Executive Director of HFS|BE Design (China Division). She finds pleasure in creating the home her clients want.
JOY HUO, MAKEUP ARTIST. Joy’s creativity and keen sense of fashion has led to her successful time at Paris Wedding Photography, where she worked as stylist, and at Shanghai Disney Resort for several years.
SOFIYA LIN, MAKEUP ARTIST. One of the 10 stylists at CCTV2010, Sofiya sharpened her skills by working with several well-known brands earlier in her career, including LINING, GAP, JEE and Huatai Jewelry.
CHEN GURONG, FITNESS TRAINER. Ten years of teaching yoga has led Chen to establish her own studio, Flame Yoga.
FIONA TAM, APPAREL DESIGNER. Fiona got her start in the costume design profession following studies at Donghua University and Bunka Fashion College. She specialises in designing wedding dresses, and gowns for all occasions.
SUMMER LIU, APPAREL DESIGNER. Summer launched her own apparel brand, MixVintage. She delivers her vintage style clothing to the US and Israel market.
Mr Tan of UBM China (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd says reinventing the jewellery exhibitions landscape by injecting crossover elements such as these is the Shanghai Jewellery Fair’s contribution in supporting and further advancing China’s jewellery market. “It’s no secret that it contracted in recent years, but it’s been recovering slowly but surely since 2017,” he says. “Jewellers’ efforts to improve design and respond to the needs of today’s consumers through astute market research are starting to bear fruit.”

Asia-Pacific Jewellery & Watch Expo

Another exciting feature buyers should watch out for at the Shanghai Jewellery Fair is the third annual Asia-Pacific Jewellery & Watch Expo. The result of UBM Asia’s strategic alliance with the Shanghai NIU International Exhibition Co., Ltd, this classic feature transmits the different life philosophies and attitudes of designers through their works. Each jewellery and timepiece has as much a story to tell as the art works that will also grace the expo.

Chinese Culture Pavilion

An innovation making its debut this year is the Chinese Culture Pavilion. Exhibitors in this pavilion will explore connections between jewellery characteristics and the five elements that are central to the Chinese culture – metal, wood, water, fire and earth. “We believe these represent the five kinds of energy that make up the universe,” says Tan. “Each one of them provide a guiding direction for the works of the artists exhibiting in this pavilion.” Exhibitors will showcase related products in booths under the corresponding five themes, thus allowing buyers to find products easily.

Host City

It will be remiss not to mention the host city of Shanghai as a “fair highlight” itself.

“Chinese luxury shoppers account for over CNY500 billion (USD73 billion) in annual spending, representing almost a third of the global luxury market,” consulting firm McKinsey says in its latest report. Shanghai leads Chinese cities in terms of purchasing power – CNY 567 billion or USD88.5 billion in the first half of 2017.

“The city is the most ideal host for our fair,” says Tan. “It offers jewellers a springboard to establish or expand their presence not only in the City of Chic that is Shanghai, but also its neighbouring cities.”

Learning and Networking

Tan adds, “We designed the fair to enable buyers to see products in person, as well as enable them to network with other industry players through various social-business events. Through our series of informative seminars, buyers will get first-hand look at upcoming trends in the marketplace.”

Equally important perhaps it the visual feast that is the backdrop of the exhibition, which not only looks good, but also feels good. “We conceptualised the fair so buyers and our 400 exhibitors can do transactions in a business-friendly yet sophisticated environment,” Tan says. “Good design creates good business.”

The China International Gold, Jewellery & Gem Fair – Shanghai 2018 will run from 7 to 10 December at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center.

From the beginning of Sino-US trade war on July 6, to the second round of this war on September 24, the Sino-US trade war has reached a white-hot stage. The trade war brings impacts to both China’s export enterprises and cross-border e-commerce. In such a tense trade situation, the procurement apparently is rather vital for foreign trade and cross-border e-commerce sellers!

On October 20, the 2018 Asian Cross-border E-commerce Foreign Trade Procurement Exhibition, co-organized by Midodo Technology, is about to open in Hong Kong. The exhibition will be divided into two stages; October 20-23, including gifts, toys, household goods and Christmas products and so on are going to be exhibited; October 27-29, the exhibition will be about travel goods, stationeries, sanitary products, etc. This is a world-class, large-scale cross-border e-commerce procurement event, bringing together 4100+ top Asian manufacturers.

On the first day of the exhibition (October 20), Midodo Technology will have a content rich sharing conference of procurement for you.

Midodo Technology hopes to help Chinese foreign trade and cross-border e-commerce sellers to go out of the mainland, in order to create more opportunities for those sellers during the Sino US trade war. Furthermore, we aim to build a new “Internet + Exhibition” cross-border service system, which can bring more new opportunities for foreign trade and cross-border e-commerce sellers.

The integration of traditional foreign trade and cross-border e-commerce is the current trend. We sincerely hope the Hong Kong Exhibition can build a platform for you to help you become a leader of cross-border e-commerce.

According to the IMF in the last 15 years alone, Vietnam’s share of world trade has quintupled, with combined imports and exports now equal to around 160-170% of GDP. Its location, Vietnam’s political and social stability, and the consistency of its legislation regarding trade, all make it a natural base for manufacturers feeding into global supply chains, where reliability of supply is a prerequisite. Vietnam has thus become China’s most important trading partner in ASEAN and one of the key production hubs on the world stage, a position further boosted by the recent adjustments in the world’s trade routes.

Supporting Vietnam’s realistic ambitions on the world trade stage and its consequent drive for an enhanced multimodal logistical infrastructure, during June 12-14 2019 at Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in HCMC, the inaugural edition of VIETNAM INTERNATIONAL PORT INFRASTRUCTURE and LOGISTICS EXHIBITION will uniquely cover this fast evolving space, from material and goods handling, supply chain systems, land transportation, port technologies to infrastructure planning and integrated services. Additionally, the trade show will be complemented by sharp-focused, actionable content provided by partnering, key industry players at seminars, conference and panels.

With Vietnam’s booming economy, many of its ports, highways and airports are experiencing congestion and capacity constraints. Pushing to close the infrastructure gap and bolster regional competitiveness, in the Transport Strategy 2020 the government has outlined significant upgrades to its road networks, while the recent construction of a deep water sea port in HCMC has improved trade flows and reduced shipping costs. By 2020, total cargo volumes are forecast to reach 2.09bn tonnes, of which 65-70% will be moved by road, 1-3% by railway, 17-20% by inland waterway, 9-14% by sea and 0.1-0.2% by air.

Artificial intelligence is a strategic technology that leads the future. This has formed a consensus around the world. From October 11th – 12th, the “2018 Canton Tower Science and Technology Conference – Global Mobile Developers Conference and Artificial Intelligence Leadership Summit”, jointly organized by IDG China and the Guangzhou Science, Technology and Innovation Commission, was held in Guangzhou, making China an important innovator and a strong development engine for artificial intelligence in the world.

The theme of the conference was “Go! Build the World”. One of the highlights was, with the industrialization of artificial intelligence as the focus, to comprehensively interpret how artificial intelligence technology empower the development of this era and promote industrial development.

Distinguished Guests Gather and Share Visions

The application status and development prospects of artificial intelligence in various fields were the focus of attention.

On the morning of the 11th, the opening ceremony and theme forum of “2018 Canton Tower Science and Technology Conference: The Artificial Intelligence Industrialization Leadership Summit” officially kicked off.

As one of the organizers of the conference, Orient Zhu, vice president of IDG Asia, said in his speech that Guangzhou is not only a major IT town and a technology center but also a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence. It has plans and goals in this field. Along with the in-depth development of the IAB plan, it has achieved phased results. “I hope more people can see the development opportunities in Guangzhou and come to Guangzhou to pursue business success. Also, I hope Guangzhou can share experiences and work together,” said Zhu.

Yan Shuicheng, Vice President and Dean of AI Research Institute of 360, said in the speech “Collaborative Intelligence Talks” that many people advocate that artificial intelligence may affect people’s work, but the core value of artificial intelligence is not to replace humans, but to help them become more powerful through the collaboration of human and computers.

Founder and CEO of Aibee, Lin Yuanqing, gave a speech on the theme “Enhance the Traditional Industry, Polish the Ultimate AI Technology”. He believes that polishing the ultimate AI technology is not only the realization of AI technology but also the necessary path for technology development. This is because AI technology has to be applied to industry and get massive data from applications. This is the inevitable road for AI technology – development and application are complementary and indispensable.

Zhou Bowen, Vice President of Jingdong Group and Head of AI Platform and Research Department, said in his speech that in the future, the ability to harvest artificial intelligence results in mainstream business is an important standard in judging the world winners and losers. The systematic deployment of artificial intelligence in the whole retail chain will overturn the entire retail industry in the industry’s fourth revolution. All links of the retail industry can benefit from artificial intelligence and be reconstructed by it.

Many entrepreneurs exchanged views about the application of artificial intelligence. They were James Shen, Vice President and Managing Director of Qualcomm Ventures; Zhou Wei, Partner at Sequoia Capital China; Hu Bofeng, Member of Investment Committee of Gold Stone Investment; Tom Luan, Founding Partner and President of Hosen Capital; Frances Du, Founding Partner of Jiangmen Venture; Gu Jiawei, Co-founder and CEO of Wuling Technology; Jia Wei, Chairman of LKKER Innovation Design Group, Founder of LKKER Shared Design Platform; Tiger Shen, Co-founder and CEO of Singulato; Liu Wei, Chairman of PCI; Jahan Ghofraniha, Professor of San Jose State University, USA; and Mikkel Westenholz, Managing Director of ENFOR, Denmark.

Admiration for Cross-Field Pioneers and the Best Products of the Year

With the rapid development and application of emerging technologies, if existing industrial fields and factor resources are integrated to achieve extension or breakthroughs in the industrial value chain and increasingly blur industrial boundaries, it will make cross-field integration of the world a major trend in industrial development, and thus spawn a large number of new formats and new models. In a sense, to succeed in cross-field integration, companies must rely on excellent cross-field talents.

On the evening of the 11th, IDG and Interface – Interviews jointly held the “Ten Multilaterally-Developed Talents 2018” selection event and announced the 10 industry representatives who completed a complete transformation within 3 years. Zhou Xi, founder of Yuncong technology, used to be a scientist focusing on technology before establishing his artificial intelligence company which yields success after success; Shen Haiyan, Singularity Car Founder & CEO, jumped out of the Internet field and successfully entered the car industry; Ren Quan, the founding partner of Star VC, used to be an actor and later turned to the venture capital industry; Lin Yilun, the founder of the Fanye, achieved the change from the stage to the stove, from the singer to the host, then to “Jiang Ren”; Shu Wei, CEO of Zaozuo, crossed her field from internet industry to household furniture, creating beautiful things along the way; Qu Kai, founder of 42 chapter, changed from VC to content creation; Fan Bing, founder of the Growth Research Institute, changed from a software developer to a marketing expert; Chen Chi, the founding partner of Xiaozhu Short-rent resigned from nursing and turned to the field of the Internet. Zhu Dongfang, Vice President of IDG Asia, presented the awards to these ten.

In addition, the conference also hosted the exciting ceremony for Canton Tower the Best Awards. The selection was based on the standards of innovation, efficiency and leadership. It comprehensively evaluated the development of related technology products in the past year, to promote the best products of the year and announce the result of the customer service satisfaction survey and the consumers’ favorite brands. Zhiyun Health, CODING Technology, LKKER Luo Ke, Nandu Big Data Research Institute, Sogou Simultaneous Interpretation, Goose Pass, Teambition, Plus Push Technology, Push, Testin Cloud Test, Trace Technology, Huilian Unlimited, Hot Cloud Data, QIY Technology, Guangzhou Daily Health, ZAKER, and Titanium Media won awards for excellent performance in platform, tools, services, and media. They represent the developing power of technology and have made a better world with technology.

TEDxJNU Fall Conference: Use the Power of Ideas to Change the World

The Canton Tower Science and Technology Conference brought together the world’s “smartest brains”. It was not only a grand event of artificial intelligence industry, but also a grand meeting of thoughts. The development of science and technology, as well as thoughts, have no borders. The TEDxJNU special event sponsored by IDG World Expo was held at InterContinental Hotel on the 12th. The representatives of science, culture, art, aerospace and other fields were invited to share, which allowed TED fans and audiences from different backgrounds to learn from each other. The sparkle of thoughts and opinions, not only takes place in the laboratory and the studio, but also at this conference.

With the successful completion of various agendas on October 11th and 12th , the 2018 Canton Tower Science and Technology Conference was successfully concluded. However, the road of artificial intelligence in Guangzhou and China will continue to move forward. Next year’s conference, 2019 Canton Tower Science and Technology Conference, will continue to witness the new development, new trends and new future of Guangzhou artificial intelligence industry.

On Tuesday, DotLab CEO Heather Bowerman spoke on the opening panel of the 2018 Rock Health Summit. Rock Health is one of Silicon Valley’s leading digital health venture capital funds, and the panel was moderated by Rock Health’s Director of Research, Megan Zweig. The Rock Health Summit is a two-day conference that brings together diverse minds from healthcare, technology, venture, policy, research, and beyond to explore the future of healthcare and tackle the industry’s most challenging problems. This year’s Summit featured innovators such as Anne Wojcicki (Co-founder and CEO, 23andMe) and Karen DeSalvo, MD (Former Acting Assistant Secretary at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).

Bowerman and two other healthcare technology founders shared their lived successes and challenges within the context of recent data coming out of Rock Health’s latest funding report. In their 2018 Digital Health Midyear Funding Review, Rock Health reports on the continued upward trajectory of venture funding for digital health, reaching $3.4 billion during the first half of 2018. Rock Health points to faster capital deployment and repeat investors as driving forces behind this trend.

Earlier this month, DotLab, a personalized medicine company for women’s health, announced the expansion of enrollment into its Early Access Program, which will allow U.S. physicians to order the company’s non-invasive endometriosis test, DotEndo. Endometriosis is a chronic disease that affects one in ten women of reproductive age, or roughly 600 million women worldwide. Despite symptoms that include pelvic pain and infertility, many women still remain undiagnosed. While the gold standard for diagnosis today is laparoscopic surgery, DotEndo uses either a patient’s saliva or blood sample to measure a panel of disease-specific microRNA biomarkers that confirms the presence of active disease.
