SINGAPORE, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Valley-based global open innovation platform Plug and Play is joining forces with Amazon Devices Climate Tech Accelerator 2026. The Accelerator is a uniquely designed program for companies at any stage to accelerate the integration of their technologies that can help reduce the carbon impact of Amazon devices. Plug and Play, with its vast global ecosystem of startups, corporates, and mentors, as well as a proven track record in designing and operating accelerator programs, brings valuable expertise in scaling climate technologies and fostering meaningful industry connections. "Plug and Play focuses on helping the best startups move faster, from idea to impact," said Saeed Amidi, Founder and CEO of Plug and Play. "At Plug and Play, one thing we've noticed is how hard it can be for great technologies to make the leap from pilot discussions to real adoption. We've worked with thousands of startups and hundreds of large enterprises, and we see how long timelines, complex decision layers, and uncertainty around next steps can stall even the most promising solutions. Through this partnership with the Amazon Devices Climate Tech Accelerator, we're giving tech companies the best chance for success by providing access to the connections and resources they need to scale." "We're excited to partner with Amazon to support the growth of companies looking to make a real impact in reducing carbon emissions," said Jupe Tan, Managing Partner of Plug and Play APAC. "Together with Amazon, we've built a different type of accelerator. One that focuses on senior leadership engagement, accelerated integration pathways, faster feedback loops, and measurable carbon-reduction outcomes – ensuring the right decision makers are in the room to assess opportunities for integration into millions of Amazon devices. Plug and Play will leverage our network and expertise to provide them with dedicated, hands-on guidance, presenting a unique opportunity to translate their ideas into scalable solutions that yield tangible results." Streamlining the path from validation to adoption opportunity, this program breaks down traditional industry barriers and accelerates collaboration between climate tech innovators and enterprise decision-makers. Participating companies will be equipped with skills and opportunities to explore potential collaborations with Amazon devices. As part of the program, companies will engage with Amazon's senior leadership and receive technical mentorship from Plug and Play's venture team of engineering, sustainability, and manufacturing experts. The program structure includes bi-weekly progress reviews, weekly cohort office hours, and specialized workshops focused on technical integration and Amazon-specific processes. Plug and Play and Amazon will support participating companies in building their Integration Assessment document, including technical analysis, cost/benefit evaluation, and commercial viability assessment, leading up to their final pitch to senior leadership from Amazon Devices & Services. Additionally, eligible companies will receive up to $100,000 in AWS Activate Credits to build, grow, and scale. Companies do not have to give up any equity to participate in this program. "The primary goal of our Climate Tech Accelerator is simple — to speed up efforts to reduce the carbon impact of our devices," said Maiken Moeller-Hansen, Director, Energy & Sustainability, Amazon Devices & Services. "Participants will receive dedicated support from Amazon technical leaders, who will evaluate and help validate the deployment potential of their technologies. This is a unique and collaborative program that resembles how Amazon works—we're excited to work with participants in the 2026 cohort, and excited about the potential to accelerate the inclusion of climate-friendly technologies in our devices." The program's inaugural cohort in 2025 comprised 14 companies of various stages, each developing technologies to reduce device and supply-chain emissions. "As a publicly traded company, developing strategic enterprise accounts is critical. This program condensed three to four years of pitching and validating into six months. It gave us a more direct path to engage with Amazon's technical and leadership teams," says 2025 cohort participant Ronnie Tao, VP of Sales, Amprius Technologies, which manufactures advanced silicon batteries that deliver greater energy and power density. "For companies at that next growth inflection point, this is a great program. We've shipped a million units over eight years to hundreds of customers. But there's a gray zone for companies like ours — too established for traditional company programs, but not yet at consumer electronics scale for enterprise partnerships. This accelerator bridges that gap." Mike Casper, Co-founder & CEO, Azumo, a display technology company and a 2025 cohort participant. "Being immersed in the mechanisms that Amazon has used to go from a bookstore to launching rockets, that alone is incredibly insightful. That's been the most surprising thing about the program, the openness with which Amazon has shared their processes and tools with us — enabling us to collaborate seamlessly using the same decision-making frameworks." Mark Herrema, Co-Founder & CEO, Aircarbon, a company making a biomaterial made from air and greenhouse gas, a 2025 Accelerator participant.

Beyond Balance: The Next RegimeHONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 13 January 2026 - Today, KGI has released its 2026 Global Market Outlook, covering markets in the US, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore. (From left) James Chu, Chairman at KGI Securities Investment Advisory; James Wey, Head of International Wealth Management at KGI; Cusson Leung, Chief Investment Officer at KGI After a turbulent year of trade disruptions and policy uncertainty under President Trump, investors face new questions. China has unveiled its 15th Five-Year Plan, as policymakers aim to support domestic growth amid global challenges. The market outlook for 2026 is shaped by interest rate decisions, economic resilience, and shifting international dynamics. Under this backdrop, we propose the "LEAD" strategy for 2026: Liquidity Shift Earnings Focused Adding Credit Diversified Assets Cusson Leung, Chief Investment Officer at KGI, says: "Looking ahead to 2026, investors can adopt a LEAD strategy: L stands for Liquidity Shift, benefiting from a weakening US dollar and interest rate cuts, with funds expected to flow to non-US dollar and Asian currencies; E stands for Earnings Focused, focusing on earnings growth to support valuations and allocating to US, European, and Japanese stocks; A stands for Adding Credit, locking in the credit of leading companies and increasing holdings of A-rated investment grade bonds; and D stands for Diversified Assets, responding to the upward trend in both stocks and bonds by including alternative assets to optimize asset allocation." Macro & US Markets The US economy will experience a more pronounced downturn in 4Q25, which will extend into 1H26, and this will have a negative impact on consumption, slowing investment activity. Nevertheless, AI-driven productivity gains should provide some support, with US GDP growth in 2026 forecast at 2.2%. The eurozone will see moderate growth, with Germany benefiting significantly from fiscal expansion and economic improvement. Japan's economy will strengthen on domestic demand, aided by additional fiscal stimulus. China has demonstrated resilience under trade protectionism in 2025. With inflation risks easing and labor market risks rising, the US Fed cut the interest rates in September 2025, with a total reduction of 75 bps in 2025, followed by an additional 50-75 bps in 2026. Regarding US stocks, AI-driven productivity gains and cost reductions should sustain solid profitability, with S&P 500 earnings projected to grow by 13.55% year-on-year (YoY) in 2026. However, higher risk premiums may cap valuation upside, leading us to project a year-end target of 7,650 points. Market performance will reflect risk-driven declines in 1Q26, stabilize and recover in 2Q26, and rally significantly around the midterm elections in 4Q26. By sector, among AI-related themes we favor technology, semiconductors, utilities (on higher power demand), machinery for advanced manufacturing, and industrial REITs. Non-AI beneficiaries include aerospace and defense (on higher military spending), pharmaceuticals (on tariff benefits), and capital market segments (supported by active investment banking). As for fixed income, US economic weakness and Fed rate cuts will drive Treasury yields lower, with 10-year yields expected to fall to 3.5-3.7% by 2Q26. We recommend allocating to US Treasuries or high-rated investment-grade corporate bonds in 1H26, then rotating into high-yield bonds in 2H26 as policy rates and economic conditions reach a bottom. James Chu, Chairman at KGI Securities Investment Advisory, says: "AI is triggering a new productivity revolution, supporting economic growth and strengthening corporate earnings. While the US economy is expected to slow, a recession remains unlikely, and the short-term impact of tariff policies should gradually fade by the first quarter of 2026. Although the Fed may shift from cutting rates at every meeting to cutting at alternating meetings, the overall environment remains a rate-cutting cycle. In a non-recession backdrop, lower interest rates should continue to support equity market performance." Mainland China and Hong Kong Markets In terms of the macroeconomy, with the conclusion of trade agreements among many countries, risks have subsided. However, due to external drag, China's GDP growth is expected to slow slightly to 4.6% in 2026. In 2026, investors should focus on four key areas for Hong Kong and mainland China markets: (1) In the consumption sector, domestic demand continued to be the core growth driver, contributing more than half of GDP. As the "trade-in" effect diminishes, the central government is expected to implement the "15th Five-Year Plan" and economic conference plans, launching a new round of subsidies covering culture, entertainment, and sports to continuously boost consumer spending. (2) In the financial market, risk appetite has increased. Given the narrowing spread between bond yields and fixed deposit rates, large amounts of savings are flowing into the capital market seeking returns. The fundamentals of the banking and insurance industries have bottomed out, and the credit structure is accelerating its shift from real estate to supporting the real economy. (3) Regarding the issue of "anti-involution," the PPI remains weak, and capacity reduction has become a focus. Compared to 2015, this round involves more downstream private enterprises and needs to consider employment, presenting greater challenges. While industry consolidation is expected to be lengthy, the impact is controllable and beneficial for long-term healthy development. (4) Regarding new quality productive forces, this will replace real estate and infrastructure as the main investment focus. Digital infrastructure supports AI and embodied intelligence, and humanoid robots are expected to see commercialization in 2026, "iPhone moment." Leading companies with core technological autonomy in innovative drugs will enjoy higher valuation premiums. Overall, we are optimistic on Hang Seng Index. We expect the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts to drive fund inflows to the Hong Kong and mainland stock markets. Based on an upward revision of the forward PE ratio to 13.5x and 8% earnings growth, we set a target of 30,000 points for the Hang Seng Index by the end of 2026, representing a potential upside of approximately 14%. As confidence recovers, the investment style is expected to shift from defensive to growth stocks. Recommended 12 stocks: XPeng Motors (9868), UBTECH (9880), Tencent Holdings (700), Alibaba (9988), China Hongqiao (1378), AIA Group (1299), Ping An Insurance (2318), China Merchants Bank (3968), Akeso Biopharma (9926), Pop Mart (9992), Tencent Music (1698), and Sino Land (83). Cusson Leung, Chief Investment Officer at KGI, says: "2026 marks a crucial turning point for the Chinese economy. While the market anticipates GDP growth to slow to 4.6%, "new quality productive forces," resembling humanoid robots, is taking over as a new growth engine. The most critical signal in the market is the "awakening" of idle cash—massive savings are flowing from low-interest fixed deposits to the capital market seeking returns. With risk appetite returning and policy support intensifying, now is the time to shift investment strategies from "defensive" to "growth." Driven by both valuation repair and earnings growth, we are optimistic that the Hang Seng Index will reach 30,000 points, and the allocation value of Hong Kong and mainland China stocks has reappeared." Taiwan Market Compared to the dot-com era bull run, which lasted almost five years, the current AI frenzy has been around for about three years, suggesting that the uptrend is still in its middle phase and could extend through 2026. AI plays are trading at high PEs, such valuations are backed by strong fundamentals. In fact, the PEG ratio of Taiwan's AI supply chain has yet to surpass 1x. We estimate that aggregate earnings of AI plays will grow by 21% YoY in 2026, following impressive upticks of 35% in 2024 and 43% in 2025. AI stocks now account for more than 60% of TAIEX earnings, and with the ongoing AI arms race, overall TAIEX earnings growth is projected to accelerate from 14% in 2025F to 20% in 2026. Although the AI frenzy should keep the bull market intact, volatility will rise in tandem due to: (1) substantial cumulative gains, and the fact that valuations are approaching historic highs; (2) policy and political uncertainty surrounding the US midterm elections; and (3) potential changes in the US Fed's rate-cut pace. We expect the TAIEX to repeat a "smile-curve" pattern, featuring continued strength in 1Q26, followed by healthy corrections in 2Q-3Q26 before closing the year with a renewed upswing. We think investors need to pay attention to two major themes. The first is a broad-based product spec upgrade trend across the AI supply chain, which will drive the industry into a new growth phase, with beneficiaries including foundries, GPU and ASIC designers, advanced packaging (such as CoWoS), and ODMs, as well as testing interfaces, memory, thermal solutions, CCL, ABF substrates, PCBs, switches, and power component suppliers amid strong AI computing demand and ongoing GPU platform upgrades. The second is diversification and defensive asset allocation. Innovations in consumer electronics, such as foldable iPhones and smart wearables, will provide growth opportunities, while companies with resilient domestic demand and stable high dividend yields offer a balanced strategy combining growth and income. Overall, investors should strike a balance between growth and resilience against volatility in their portfolios, in the face of market fluctuations. James Chu, Chairman at KGI Securities Investment Advisory, says: "The solid earnings growth driven by AI and still reasonable valuations form a strong foundation for the ongoing bull market in Taiwanese equities. With AI adoption accelerating across enterprises and consumers, demand for computing power is rising rapidly. Yet supply remains constrained by chip and power bottlenecks, meaning hardware suppliers are likely to face continued shortages through 2026. Taiwan's AI supply chain is set to remain a key beneficiary, particularly those tied to next-generation specification upgrades." Singapore Market In 9M25, the overall performance of Singapore's economy was better than expected as the global trade tensions eased after the US pivoted on its reciprocal tariffs and reached deals with its major trading partners. The manufacturing, wholesale trade and finance & insurance sectors remained the growth pillars of the Singapore economy, and each sector delivered decent growth. In particular, manufacturing's growth has been robust, driven by the electronics, transport engineering and biomedical manufacturing clusters. The full year outlook is upbeat, as the growth momentum shall continue till the end of the year. Looking ahead, the global economic outlook for 2026 suggests slower GDP growth for most of Singapore's key trading partners, including China and the Eurozone, largely due to the impact of US tariffs, which will temper demand for Southeast Asian exports, though US growth is expected to remain resilient from AI investment. Consequently, Singapore's outward-oriented sectors, particularly manufacturing and trade-related services, are projected to expand at a slower pace than in 2025, although the electronics and related sectors will benefit from AI demand, while some precision engineering and biomedical output may moderate domestically, the construction sector is set to grow, but consumer-facing sectors are likely to remain subdued. However, the relatively low interest rates and continuous government support shall buffer the impact of the slowdown, and the capital market will still benefit from the upward re-rating catalysts. Chen Guangzhi, Head of Research at KGI Singapore, says: "Thanks to trade de-escalation and the AI wave, Singapore experienced significant economic expansion in 2025. Proactive government initiatives turbo-charged the equity bull run, and this strong momentum is expected to deliver an optimistic economic outlook for 2026."
