Vinhomes offers a fertile ground for international real estate investors seeking opportunities in Vietnam.HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 September 2024 - The real estate market in Vietnam, despite facing numerous challenges in recent years, is showing signs of robust recovery. This resurgence has made the market increasingly attractive to both local and international investors. Amidst this revival, Vinhomes has emerged as a key player, driving growth and setting new benchmarks in the industry with its innovative and well-planned developments. Vinhomes Ocean Park 3 A Promised Land for Global Investors The Vietnamese have a saying: "Where there is good land, the birds will come and settle." This idiom reflects the country's rising appeal to global investors in recent years. In the first five months of 2024, foreign direct investment (FDI) in Vietnam's real estate sector reached nearly USD 1.98 billion - a 70.8% increase compared to the same period last year, making it the second most attractive sector after manufacturing, accounting for nearly 17.9% of total registered investment. Each segment of Vietnam's real estate market in 2024 offers unique investment highlights that attract foreign investors. The market's allure comes from several key advantages, such as a young and growing population, a high urbanization rate, and strong economic growth. Moreover, the positive impact of the new Land Law, which came into effect in August, is expected to create fresh momentum for the real estate market in the coming years. Under these new laws, foreigners are now allowed to own homes for up to 50 years from the date of issuance of the ownership certificate, with the possibility of extending this term by an additional 50 years. This regulation effectively removes the psychological barrier for foreigners when it comes to owning property in Vietnam, as they can now legally own a home for almost their entire lifetime. Eligible foreigners also can acquire houses directly from other foreigners possessing properties in Vietnam. Responding to this demand, Vinhomes has rapidly developed a series of high-end residential and commercial projects that have reshaped the urban landscape and introduced international living standards to the country. Vinhomes Ocean Park 2 and 3 are among the first projects to receive approval under the new regulations allowing foreign ownership of residential properties in Vietnam. Market reports indicate that liquidity in these projects has significantly increased recently. This surge in interest not only highlights the attractiveness of these developments but also signals a broader trend of increasing foreign participation in Vietnam's real estate market, particularly in strategically located and well-planned urban areas like Vinhomes Ocean City. In 2023, Vinhomes recorded nearly VND 104 trillion (approx. USD 4.5 billion) in consolidated net revenue, a 66% increase compared to the previous year. The company also exceeded its annual profit target by 12%, with after-tax profits rising by 15% year-over-year to VND 33.5 trillion (approx. USD 1.44 billion). This remarkable achievement was made possible by Vinhomes' relentless efforts to launch new products into the market despite a tight supply. Most of Vinhomes' new projects are strategically located in areas with high potential, rapid urbanization, and easy access to key regions, catering to both residential and commercial investment needs. "All-in-one" Civilized Living Spaces: Ensuring Residents' Well-being Globally, there is growing demand for buildings, homes, and communities that promote a healthier lifestyle and protect residents' well-being, creating vast potential for the wellness real estate sector. Traditionally, wellness real estate was associated with resort properties and retirement communities. However, there is now a broader understanding of wellness real estate that incorporates features such as enhanced air filtration, better soundproofing, facilities for outdoor exercise, ample community spaces, and access to nature. This growing demand for homes that blend natural elements with modern amenities has led to the emergence of all-inclusive urban areas, a model that is highly popular in developed countries like Japan, Singapore, and China. In Vietnam, this model has gained traction with the introduction of projects such as Vinhomes Smart City, Vinhomes Grand Park, and Vinhomes Ocean Park. A key objective in Vinhomes' sustainable development strategy is to create people-centered urban areas that provide the most suitable, convenient, safe, sustainable, and happy living environments for residents. In these communities, essential amenities and services such as hospitals, schools, shopping centers, parks, plazas, playgrounds, sports facilities, and entertainment areas are all within easy reach, ensuring a high quality of life for residents. Additionally, community activities are continually promoted to encourage a green, civilized, and modern lifestyle, contributing to the creation of some of the most sustainable and livable urban areas in the world. Vinhomes has been actively investing in the development of living areas with a focus on achieving Net Zero carbon emissions.This includes emphasizing natural ecosystems, optimizing the use of renewable energy, and prioritizing recycled construction materials to minimize both direct and indirect environmental impacts. The company is also committed to developing green transportation infrastructure by coordinating the organization of electric bus routes and planning charging stations within its urban areas. This initiative encourages residents and the broader community to adopt safer and more environmentally friendly modes of transportation. With its strategically located projects, commitment to international living standards, and focus on sustainability, Vinhomes stands out as a beacon of excellence in the real estate sector, promising long-term value and success for investors.

BERLIN, Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a remarkable achievement, the Yaber K3 Series projector has won 11 prestigious "Best of IFA 2024" and "Most Innovative" awards from major media outlets during IFA, including Trusted Reviews, SlashGear, Android Police, House Digest, Gadgety Awards, Geek Spin, CGMagazine, Android Headlines, TechRadar, Phandroid, and The Shortcut. The news about the K3 series continues to spread across the media landscape, further cementing Yaber's position as a pioneer in entertainment projectors. Yaber K3/K3 Pro at IFA Berlin 2024 Yaber made a powerful entrance at IFA 2024, capturing the attention of the global tech community with its innovative K3 series projectors. As noted by House Digest, "The Yaber K3/K3 Pro is also a step above other projectors thanks to its CoolSwift cooling technology. A U-shaped heat sink and high-performance cooling chips prevent the device from overheating." With breakthroughs in clarity, brightness, and color performance, combined with Yaber's core technologies, the K3 series has won praise from major technology media. Trusted Reviews stated, "If the complaint about home cinema projection is that the sound has never really matched the images, then the Yaber K3 Pro could be one of the first to properly solve it." Notably, the exceptional sound quality of the K3 series also garnered attention. As CGMagazine observed, "Yaber has focused on sound quality in the Yaber K3 series, partnering with JBL to integrate dual 15W stereo speakers that support Dolby Audio. The K3 Pro takes this a step further by including a subwoofer, addressing the common issue of weak bass in projector audio systems. During the brief demo at the event, the sound quality was indeed impressive, with the projector and subwoofer combination delivering audio that far exceeded what is typically expected from devices of this kind." TechRadar further highlighted the audio prowess and stated it the coolest projector at IFA, "The Yaber K3 Pro has 30W of JBL-made stereo speaker power in the projector unit already, which is no slouch, but adding the subwoofer takes things to a whole new level. It's no substitute for one of the best Dolby Atmos soundbars, but this is the only projector sound system I've heard so far that I wouldn't be tempted to add any other speakers to."
TAIPEI, Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TCI Co. Ltd. ("TCI", 8436.TWO), a global leader in ODM health and cosmetic products for over 40 years, introduces its cutting-edge GLP-1 formula, a natural blend of plant extracts, probiotics, and prebiotics designed to deliver powerful weight management results. The global obesity crisis continues to surge. In 2022, the WHO reported over one billion people as obese—around one-eighth of the global population. By 2035, the World Obesity Federation predicts the economic cost of obesity will exceed $4 trillion annually. Meanwhile, The Economist projects that the weight loss and obesity drug market will skyrocket to $150 billion by the early 2030s, with GLP-1 analogs becoming as widely used as medications for blood pressure or cholesterol. The Science Behind TCI's GLP-1 Formula TCI leverages its proprietary Bio-Resource Data Mining technology, an AI-powered system that autonomously identifies potent natural compounds. Backed by in-vitro studies and human trials, TCI's GLP-1 formula has proven to be a game-changer in the health and wellness sector. The formula stimulates natural GLP-1 secretion, enhances fat metabolism, stabilizes blood glucose, and induces white fat browning—making it an effective solution for sustainable weight management. Internal human trials confirmed the GLP-1 formula's ability to promote GLP-1 secretion and regulate blood glucose levels. Cell experiments further validated its effectiveness in stimulating natural GLP-1 production from intestinal L-cells, which is key to controlling appetite and promoting fat loss. "At TCI, we develop high-performance supplements based on scientifically proven data, ensuring our clients' products enhance consumer health and quality of life," said Vincent Lin, Chairman of TCI. Real Results: TCI Employees Experience GLP-1 Formula Success TCI invited employees to try the GLP-1 formula, with participants losing an average of 4.9 kg in just two months—fostering enthusiasm for healthier lifestyles. Available in liquid, powder sachets, and tablet forms, the formula is now being fast-tracked for international markets through partnerships with global clients. TCI's mission is to deliver natural, convenient weight management solutions that not only transform consumers' lives but also set new standards for the health and nutrition industry. What is GLP-1?GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a hormone primarily secreted by intestinal L-cells in response to food intake. It plays a key role in regulating insulin secretion, suppressing glucagon release, reducing appetite, and slowing gastric emptying—all crucial for controlling hunger and supporting weight loss. Clinical Benefits of TCI's GLP-1 Formula Enhanced GLP-1 SecretionIn a controlled trial, participants given the GLP-1 formula showed a significant 10.3% increase in GLP-1 concentration within 60 minutes, compared to those who did not take the formula. This boost helped maintain stable GLP-1 levels, reducing hunger and supporting healthy weight loss. Stabilized Postprandial Blood GlucoseIn another study, participants' blood glucose levels were measured after consuming breakfast with and without the GLP-1 formula. Remarkably, the formula reduced glucose spikes by 97%, demonstrating its powerful ability to stabilize post-meal blood sugar levels. Proven Weight Management EfficacyA 4-week human trial showed that daily use of the GLP-1 formula led to notable improvements in key health markers. Participants experienced a 4.2% reduction in total cholesterol, a 2.93% increase in HDL ("good" cholesterol), and a 2.71% decrease in LDL ("bad" cholesterol), lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease while effectively managing weight. TCI's innovative GLP-1 formula is paving the way for a healthier future by offering natural, science-backed solutions for weight management. As the global demand for effective weight loss solutions grows, TCI remains at the forefront, leading the charge in transforming how consumers approach their health and well-being.
