Safeguarding the Oceans

Chic clusters of bungalows that hover over crystal clear water. Secluded islets of pure white sand. Crescent-shaped beaches spotted with slender coconut trees. These are the iconic images of the Maldives. But beneath the surface are even more striking scenes: A kaleidoscope of fish darting above a carpet of coral, inquisitive octopuses draped over craggy rocks, and majestic manta rays swimming through beams of underwater sunlight.

Korea’s Slice of Paradise

South Korea’s Jeju Island isn’t quite like anywhere else. Thousands of years ago, volcanoes were carved out from intense geographical activity, including meandering coastlines and soaring mountains.

Digitalize – Revolutionize

Covid-19 is accelerating global trends that were in motion long before the pandemic. Working remotely, for example, was a burgeoning prospect available to office workers in a modest but increasing number of industries during the 2010s. In the age of Covid-19, it has become the norm. Analysts are also expecting trend acceleration through the recovery. In manufacturing, for instance, businesses have long been trying to diversify their supply chain. Lockdown disruptions have reenergized these ambitions, highlighting that diversification is not just desirable for profitability but essential for continuity.

Artist. Creator. Innovator

Born in 1949 to a family of prominent artists and intellectuals, Thanh Chuong was raised during a pivotal time that nurtured his creative ingenuity. The French colonial era was about to end and a new volatile chapter of Vietnam’s history would begin. Thanh Chuong’s artistic sensibilities were crafted as much by his country’s history as they were nurtured by this family of artists and writers.
