Preface

This week, we hosted an engaging session on the political and economic ripple effects of the 2024 US election. Esteemed guests Mr. John Tsang (Founder, Esperanza) and Dr. Andrew Yuen (Director, CUHK EMBA), with moderation by our Founder & CEO, Tommie Lo, explored what these shifts mean for Hong Kong as the Asian financial and commercial hub, and for the broader Sino-American relations. Key takeaways: 🔹 Hong Kong can prioritise transforming technology and research into market-ready solutions to enhance economic growth. 🔹 Emphasise and invest in Hong Kong's core competencies as Asia's geographical centrepoint to solidify the city's competitive edge. 🔹 Despite increasing trends of decoupling, global interconnectedness will remain natural deterrents against abrupt policy decisions. A heartfelt thank you to our participants who made the discussion at Preface HQ a success.

We are honoured to support another successful year of SCMP Learn’s Hong Kong Principals’ Forum. Marking our 3rd consecutive year of partnership, we, as the platinum sponsor of this impactful event, are proud to help lead the dialogue on how education can keep up with changes in this fast-changing world. As part of the opening remarks, our Founder & CEO, Tommie Lo, highlighted a vital message: an outdated curriculum is like an old map—it can’t lead us to new places. With rapid technological disruptions, educators and students must be equipped with the skills and mindsets to navigate the fast-changing world and thrive in it. Our Director, Ellen Lau, joined a panel on ethical AI in mental healthcare, emphasising the need for educators to collaborate with governments, schools, and practitioners to co-create a responsible AI ecosystem. At Preface, we’re committed to empowering educators to inspire the next generation of changemakers. By fostering ecosystems where innovation and learning converge, we enable schools to be future-ready in the AI-powered era. Once again, thank you SCMP Learn and all the honourable guests and industry leaders at the Forum today! #AIinEducation #LearnTechwithPreface #GlobalTechEnabler #Changemakers #HKPrincipalsForum2024 #SCMP 南華早報

Last night, we gathered to discuss the evolving global financial landscape as the 2024 US election culminates after a month. Industry experts Prof. David S. Lee (이승우, 李乘雨) (HKU) and Paul Tsang (ex-Chief Risk Officer, BlackRock Asia) provided deep insights into the geopolitical implications affecting the financial industry across regions. Moderated by our Founder & CEO, Tommie Lo, the discussion unpacked the complexities of US-China trade tensions, volatilities implied by Trump's second term, and the future trajectory of cryptocurrency development. Key takeaways: 🔹 It is difficult to define winners and losers now after the US election, but businesses with strong fundamentals will be able to navigate through uncertainties and volatilites ahead. 🔹 Trump’s second term pledges may be more actionable and aggressive, yet it is possible that defensive policies and sanctions may backfire on the US. 🔹 Post-election, opportunities in Web3 and blockchain are increasingly sufficient and sustainable, and Hong Kong could capture these as an international hub. Thank you to everyone who joined us at PCW Causeway Bay for this enlightening session. Stay tuned for more updates in our Post-US Election Series! #Preface #TechBitesLive #AI #Finance #BusinessTech #TradeWar #Web3 #LearnTechWithPreface Preface Coffee & Wine
