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.

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.
