DOVER, DE, June 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In a fiery spectacle worthy of Silicon Valley lore, Ditchit - a rising star in the online marketplace space and rival to OfferUp - has made headlines by purchasing and then blowing up the original 560-pound Twitter bird sign once perched atop the company's San Francisco headquarters.The marketing stunt, filmed in the Nevada desert with a 15-person production crew, four Tesla Cybertrucks, and a Hollywood pyrotechnics expert, marked a symbolic farewell to legacy tech monopolies and a bold introduction to Ditchit's mission: to build a local marketplace that puts people before profits."Elon Musk rebranded Twitter to X to support free expression. At Ditchit, we're doing the same for local marketplaces," said Ditchit spokesman James Deluca. "Today's platforms are filled with ads, fees, and algorithms that prioritize businesses over people. Ditchit is different-free to use, ad-free, and designed to support real communities and real sellers."The 12-foot-tall Twitter logo, affectionately known as "Larry," was purchased at auction for $34,000 earlier this year. While the initial acquisition was driven by nostalgia, the company ultimately decided to transform the artifact into a symbol of disruption.The resulting video, now live on YouTube, shows the massive sign's explosive end outside of Las Vegas, capturing a cinematic moment that's already garnering viral attention.But "Larry's" story doesn't end in smoke. Fragments of the sign have been salvaged and will be sold on the Ditchit app in a sealed-bid auction starting today. 100% of proceeds will go to the Center for American Entrepreneurship, a nonprofit that champions startup innovation and supports the next generation of entrepreneurs."Many entrepreneurs get their start on local marketplace apps," Deluca added. "We're here to support that journey-not just through our platform, but through action."With the stunt, Ditchit isn't just selling a piece of tech history. It's signaling a new era for digital marketplaces - one powered by transparency, accessibility, and the belief that local economies deserve better.About DitchitDitchit is a community-first local marketplace built for everyday buyers and sellers. Unlike traditional platforms, Ditchit is ad-free, fee-free, and designed to keep transactions simple and fair. Founded in 2024, the Ditchit app is available for iOS and Android.Media Contact:James DelucaPR Manager, Ditchitjames.deluca@ditchit.comSOURCE: Ditchit Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Mixing two or three alkyl-π liquids can achieve the right combination of functions for soft electronics.TSUKUBA, Japan, June 18, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Soft electronics are an exciting and innovative class of technology that brings together bendable, stretchable semiconducting materials for applications in areas ranging from fashion to healthcare. Researchers have recently developed a new technique to adjust the properties of liquids that could be used to create soft electronics.Researchers successfully blended various combinations and proportions of three solvent-free alkyl-π room-temperature liquids that fluoresced red, green, or blue light, with no color variation within the material showing that the alkyl-π liquids had merged evenly.

Please credit the STAM Journal.Room-temperature alkylated-π molecular liquids (known as alkyl-π liquids) are an exciting new material that holds great promise for soft electronics. However, one challenge with these fascinating liquids lies in fine-tuning their physical, chemical, and electronic properties – including their ability to interact with light – to achieve the desired functionality.A new study, led by researchers from the National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS) in Tsukuba, Japan, has explored a strategy for blending together alkyl-π liquids to merge their functions homogeneously. The researchers used photoluminescent color tuning to demonstrate how well the process has worked. Their findings have been published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.Previous efforts to control the properties of alkyl-π liquids have taken one of two approaches. The first involves incorporating small amounts of other molecules, such as dyes, into the liquid. “When modulating function by adding solid dopants, the dopant molecules have poor solubility, leading to insoluble aggregates and inconsistencies in properties such as luminescent color,” says Dr. Takashi Nakanishi of the Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics at NIMS.The second approach involves chemically modifying the alkyl-π liquids. While this can achieve a uniform result, designing and synthesising entirely new molecules is difficult and less time- and cost-effective.In the new study, researchers synthesised three solvent-free alkyl-π room-temperature liquids that fluoresced red, green, or blue light, and then they blended the liquids together in varying proportions. They successfully created a range of homogeneous liquid blends of colors with no color variation within the material, showing that the alkyl-π liquids had merged evenly.The team also assessed how well the two liquids had mixed by changing the temperature and studying how the flow of the mixed liquids changed over time at different temperatures. This approach further confirmed that the liquids were successfully blended together.“The liquid–liquid blending method implemented in this study for alkyl-π liquids facilitates the production of low-volatility, ink-like materials that exhibit a diverse spectrum of uniform luminescent colors, devoid of any color unevenness,” Dr. Nakanishi says. “This means it will be possible to apply or coat the desired function with simple operations such as painting, sandwiching, or soaking the liquid materials wherever needed.”The research opens the path to blending alkyl-π liquids to vary other functions, such as photoconductivity, charge retention, or gas sensing.Further informationTakashi NakanishiNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)nakanishi.takashi@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/14686996.2025.2515007About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM)Open access journal STAM publishes outstanding research articles across all aspects of materials science, including functional and structural materials, theoretical analyses, and properties of materials. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM Dr. Kazuya SaitoSTAM Publishing DirectorEmail: SAITO.Kazuya@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

X Pitti Uomo 108Benny Benassi rocks the house for U.S. Polo Assn. at the iconic Chiostro Grande of the historic Complesso di Santa Maria Novella in Florence Italy to celebrate 135 Years of Sport Inspiration – “Play for the Moment, Live for the Legacy.”A Night to Remember: ‘Play for the Moment, Live for the Legacy'On the evening of June 18, more than 1,500 international guests gathered in the breathtaking Chiostro Grande of the historic Complesso di Santa Maria Novella for an invitation-only anniversary celebration that will long be remembered. Hosted by acclaimed Italian actor Roberto Ciufoli, the event was a sensory journey through the sport and brand's authentic 135-year story.Italian music star Clara soon captivated the crowd with a stunning live vocal performance, delivering a set filled with beauty, style, and emotion. Her stage presence matched the elegance of the evening and set the tone for the grand finale. When global DJ legend Benny Benassi took to the turntables, the cloister was transformed into a pulsating open-air dance floor, with an after party of over 1,000 guests celebrating under the stars well into the night.Immersive Art, Heritage, and VisionThe atmosphere was enhanced by a massive, monumental timeline of the U.S. Polo Assn. brand's past and present, projected along the centuries-old walls of Santa Maria Novella. From 1890 to 2025, the visual depiction told the story of the sport of polo's evolution and the brand's growth into a multi-billion-dollar global fashion powerhouse.The event's creative heart came from two visionary artists. Luca Agnani brought immersive mapping effects to the architecture of the cloister, while Pietro Terzini--known for his poetic commentary on pop culture and brand identity--debuted a custom visual installation that blended U.S. Polo Assn.'s sport heritage with his signature textual style. His clever, minimalist expressions on legacy, fashion, and time left a lasting impression and underscored the evening's message: heritage can be both honored and reimagined.Celebrating the Moment, Building the Future"This was more than a trade show--it was a global celebration of U.S. Polo Assn.'s legacy, culture, and future," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages and markets the multi-billion-dollar global U.S. Polo Assn. brand.

HONG KONG, Jun 18, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong is still on course for export growth of 3% this year, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) confirmed today. This timely assessment came as the HKTDC announced the findings of two of its key metrics namely the 2025 Mid-Year Export Review and Outlook and the HKTDC Export Confidence Index 2Q25.Strong frontloading amid tariff uncertaintiesThe city’s 2025 export performance is navigating a period of almost unprecedented turbulence in the global trade arena. Much of this uncertainty has stemmed from the radical shift in US trade policy – particularly the heavy reliance on substantial import tariffs – adopted by President Trump’s administration.In anticipation of a hefty tariff regime, many of Hong Kong’s exporters opted to “frontload” their orders in the early months of 2025 before the new tariffs were implemented. This helped bolster the city’s export figures in the early months of the year and resulted in a number of other positive factors.Low exposure to US marketFirst, Hong Kong has low exposure to the US market when compared with other economies. For instance, US-bound exports in 2024 accounted for just 6.5% of Hong Kong’s total exports.By learning the lessons of previous tariff regimes, notably during the first term of President Trump (2017 to 2021), Hong Kong successfully reconfigured its trading base to reduce its exposure to uncertainties in the US market. Since 2017, Hong Kong has bolstered its trade ties with other economies, with exports to the ASEAN bloc up 38.5% and to the Middle East increasing by 58.1%. The upshot of this is that, despite a 10.5% drop in Hong Kong’s exports to the US over the last eight years, Hong Kong’s total exports for the period recorded a 17.2% increase.This vulnerability has been further reduced by many Hong Kong exporters prioritizing the diversification of their sourcing locations in line with China+1 or China+N strategies. As a consequence, many of Hong Kong’s US-bound exports are now sourced from different locations than they were in 2017. In fact, in 2024, nearly half of Hong Kong’s US-bound exports originated from a variety of international sources, notably up from the comparable figure of 15% eight years ago.Taken together, should a high level of US tariffs be reinstated, only about 3.4% of Hong Kong’s total exports would be affected. Any impact would then be further diminished once the products eligible for tariff exemptions were also taken into account. Collectively, these factors underpin HKTDC Research’s expectation that, even in such adverse trading conditions, Hong Kong’s exports will still expand by 3% as predicted earlier in the year.Commenting on the HKTDC’s decision to confirm its earlier forecast, Director of Research, Irina Fan, said: “Whatever the outcome of the ongoing trade negotiations, our low exposure to the US market, robust trade ties with other markets and diversified sourcing networks are the key underlying factors that should allow Hong Kong exporters to weather the US tariffs relatively unscathed.”Weaker export performance expected in 2HIn line with the overall expectation that export performance would weaken as 2025 progresses, the overall reading for the HKTDC Export Confidence Index in the second quarter fell below 50 for the first time in a year. This moderate decline in Hong Kong exporter confidence can be taken as aligning with the escalation in global trade uncertainty.With the survey conducted at the height of the China-US tariff trade war (28 April-15 May), this downbeat outcome was widely anticipated. In specific terms, this saw the Current Performance Index fall to 49.6 (down from 52.1), while the Expectation Index stood at 49.0 (down from 51.0). Subsequent to the completion of the survey, new trade negotiations have emerged between Mainland China (including Hong Kong) and the US; an outcome expected to be reflected in the findings of the 3Q25 Index.In other findings, Hong Kong exporter confidence remained high regarding prospects in both the ASEAN bloc (59.9) and Mainland China (52.6), while the corresponding reading for the US plummeted to 31.6 (down from 46.7)The Current Performance of three of the six key Hong Kong industry sectors tracked by the Index remained positive with Jewellery at 51.6, Timepieces at 52.1 and Equipment/Materials at 50.4. In the case of the other three sectors, Electronics and Clothing (both 48.9) were marginally below the watershed level while Toys (43.1) continued its recent decline.Putting the findings into context, Kenneth Lee, Special Project and Business Advisory Section Head, HKTDC Research, said: “Overall, the findings for the second quarter align with earlier expectations of weaker exporter confidence amid US tariff uncertainties. It is, however, heartening to see Hong Kong exporters maintain a largely positive outlook with regard to all of the city’s major markets, except for the US.”To view press releases in Chinese, please visit http://mediaroom.hktdc.com/tcReferences- HKTDC Research website: https://research.hktdc.com/en/- HKTDC Export Confidence Index 2Q25: Exporter Confidence Weakens Amid US Tariff Uncertainties https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjAyNjM4NzY1Mg- 2025 Mid-Year Trade Review and Outlook: Global Trade Talk Progress Sees HKTDC Adhere to 3% Export Growth Forecast https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjAzNDc4NjgwMwPhoto download: https://bit.ly/4n24Ds1 HKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan (left) and HKTDC Research’s Special Project and Business Advisory Section Head Kenneth Lee (right) announced the 2025 Mid-Year Trade Review and Outlook and the HKTDC Export Confidence Index for 2025’s second quarter at a press conference todayHKTDC Director of Research Irina FanHKTDC Research’s Special Project and Business Advisory Section Head Kenneth LeeMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication and Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

SINGAPORE, June 17, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Artificial intelligence (AI) projects are both exciting and complex. They require considerable infrastructure to enable teams to innovate and scale as the need arises. Teams may face problems ranging from managing dependencies to scaling compute resources that can delay any progress. AI containers may just be the answer.Containers help standardize environments, improve scalability, and enable smoother collaboration. These are critical benefits when building and deploying AI models at scale and can make all the difference to your project. Whether you're training models or deploying in production, using an AI container setup can help streamline your entire development process. Let's find out how.Simplified environment managementOne of the biggest pain points in AI development is managing dependencies. Machine learning libraries, GPU drivers, and data preprocessing tools must all work together seamlessly. A small version mismatch may produce inconsistent results.Containers solve this by packaging everything your AI project needs (such as code, runtime, libraries, and system tools) into a single, portable environment. This means what works on one machine will work the same on another, enhancing reliable, predictable results.For teams working remotely with cloud platforms, containers help maintain consistency and reproducibility. Whether you're running a model on a developer's laptop or a testing environment, the container provides a stable environment.Faster experimentation and better security through isolationContainers allow for isolation from both the host system and other containers on the operating system. This isolation is beneficial in a few different ways:Security: Containers may help limit the impact of malicious applications. Isolation limits what each container can access. They make it easy to protect sensitive data processed by an AI model by restricting it's access to other networks.Speed: AI development involves a lot of trial and error. Data scientists often run multiple experiments in parallel, tweak parameters, or test new algorithms in a bid to perfect their model. Containers can help isolate each experiment in its own environment. This may accelerate testing and debugging.Convenience: With containerization, developers can spin up lightweight, standalone instances of different models without worrying about conflicts between dependencies. Additionally, when it's time to deploy, containers allow the same environment used during development to move directly into production.Scalable training with orchestration toolsTraining AI models like deep learning models may require significant compute power. As datasets grow and architecture becomes more complex, developers need infrastructure that can scale flexibly. This is where containers can be particularly useful. Designed to be lightweight and scalable, they are ideal for distributed training across multiple machines or nodes.When paired with orchestration tools like Kubernetes, containers can support resource allocation and manage changing workloads. This orchestration allows AI teams to run multiple training jobs in parallel, scale up or down based on demand, and automate workload management, all essential steps for remaining agile even in rapid development cycles. Whether you're scaling training across cloud instances or running jobs on-premises, container orchestration brings a level of control and efficiency that traditional methods may not match.Containers have become an invaluable tool for AI development teams today. They help teams face some of the biggest challenges in AI workflows head-on and enhance speed and security in the process. Adopting an AI container approach can bring more reliability and control to every stage of the AI lifecycle. Whether you're a solo data scientist or part of a large machine learning team, containers can help you move faster, collaborate better, and deploy smarter.CONTACT:Sonakshi MurzeManagersonakshi.murze@iquanti.comSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

香港，2025年6月18日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 6月15日，由巨星传奇与浙江卫视联合出品、魔胴西西里咖啡独家冠名的户外实境互动综艺《周游记3》完美收官。这档以"无脚本、无人设、无规则"收获诸多好评的综艺，开播三季以来热度居高不下，本季节目收视率更是连续十二期稳居CSM71城省级卫视同时段综艺收视第一，全季节目全网累计收获375个热搜、节目相关话题曝光量超41亿。其中，微博主话题#周游记#阅读量突破22亿，主话题词三季累计阅读量超37.7亿；共计56个热搜单话题在榜超10小时，形成全季热搜累计在榜时长超1220小时的长尾传播效应。在优酷平台，节目稳居免费综艺热度榜、旅行综艺热度榜等多个榜单TOP1。《周游记3》不管是社交媒体热度还是观众互动参与度，均创三季新高，仅微博单一平台话题阅读量就超过前两季之和，折射出节目本身叙事能力和文化影响力的全面升级。本季节目，"J式之旅"发起人周杰伦，与刘畊宏、林暐恒、杜国璋、蔡威泽、方建德、陈冠廷、陈冠霖组成周游团，用一站站真实的风景与动人的故事，构建起独属于"J式旅行"的情感连接，为节目贡献了诸多高光时刻。全新加入的刘畊宏为节目注入了新鲜活力，他与周杰伦的默契互动创造了诸多精彩看点：无论是希腊街头带领外国友人跳《本草纲目》健身操，还是在广东共同体验咏春拳与舞狮等传统文化，都让节目增添了别样趣味。《周游记3》以寻找"华人之光"为题，着重展示在各个行业中海外华人的奋斗代表、艺术家等群体，足迹遍布意大利、希腊、沙特阿拉伯等地，寻访网球名将张之臻、歌剧新星王亢、咖啡拉花世界冠军胡仲华，以及众多非遗传承人。通过他们的奋斗故事，节目生动诠释了"热爱无国界"的华人之光，展现了全球化背景下华人身份认同的多元与力量。本季节目不再仅仅是明星好友的随性游玩，而是成功蜕变为一场有温度、有深度、有共鸣的文化探索。本季《周游记3》在保持"无脚本、无人设、无规则"的随性拍摄风格基础上，进一步升级了节目的"松弛感"旅行美学。节目以更快的叙事节奏和更丰富的转场设计，带领观众穿梭于各地市集、街头美食等生活化场景，既呈现了深度的城市文化探索，又提供了实用的旅行指南。节目收官之旅中，周游团与中国青年舞蹈家梁岱青、广西少数民族原生态民歌演唱组合"梢丽组合"进行了一场壮族文化交流会，"山歌×流行"的跨界融合也展现了少数民族文化的独特魅力。随着节目热度持续走高，《周游记3》背后的赞助商也受到了广泛关注。据了解，《周游记3》由魔胴西西里咖啡独家冠名，支付宝战略合作，ADATA、恩雅赛博吉他、爱吃鲜摩人、VIVICYCLE等品牌特约赞助，沙特阿拉伯旅游局、澳大利亚旅游局特别支持。本季节目吸引多元品牌强势支持，内容IP商业化价值得到全面释放。纵观过往综艺市场，明星个人定制类节目往往陷入"叫好不叫座"的困境--即便坐拥顶流明星的天然号召力和忠实粉丝的强力应援，却始终难以突破圈层壁垒，实现真正意义上的全民爆款，此次《周游记3》背后的打造者巨星传奇无疑为明星IP商业化运营塑造了标杆案例。区别于艺人经纪公司，巨星传奇致力于围绕不同艺人的特性塑造自有品牌，对于明星IP的商业价值开发也坚持长线开发思路。在本季节目背后，巨星传奇凭借精品内容IP实现商业闭环再升级。业内人士指出：《周游记》背后的商业逻辑是巨星传奇通过节目吸引到品牌赞助及实现节目版权收入的同时，节目亦可以赋能自有IP及品牌以带动新零售产品的销售，依靠艺人的影响力及直播电商、私域等全域渠道推广产品，将IP的流量转化为产品的销量，形成了完整的商业化闭环，充分体现了其运营模式的优越性。《周游记3》的热播与商业变现，标志着巨星传奇"IP赋能新零售"模式已趋成熟。在内容与消费深度融合的赛道中，这种以IP为核心、全域营销为驱动的商业闭环，不仅提升了明星IP的长尾价值，更为行业探索出了一条可持续的变现路径。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

KUALA LUMPUR�� June 17, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (�ICDM� or �the Institute�) recently convened its 8th Annual General Meeting with key advancements signalling a decisive move forward in its mission to elevate corporate governance. In a bold continuation of its 2024 call for boards and directors to �step up or step out� amidst a time of tremendous change and uncertainty, ICDM is embracing an ethos of �Being More� by championing significant new initiatives. �Among the pivotal developments highlighted at the AGM, ICDM is putting a strong emphasis on the upcoming launch of a national Professional Directors Certification Framework (�PDCF�) and the execution of the leadership transition.These key steps forward underscore the Institute�s unwavering commitment to tangible and measurable stewardship, especially in applying the principles of good governance across their organisations. In their 2024 reflection, ICDM encouraged corporate directors to unlearn outdated mindsets, relearn what the future demands, and embrace innovation with courage and a relentless commitment to board excellence and their continuous development. To this end, ICDM�s efforts to professionalise directors and boards will be formalised via a framework that outlines clear standards and qualifications for directors and boards in the later part of 2025.Michele Kythe Lim, President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) said, �The very future of an organisation depends on the precise and integral leadership of boards and directors. Therefore, they must champion governance, accountability, and performance standards with the same rigour they demand from the companies they oversee. As the national IoD, we are committed to these standards, a commitment proven by an independent Board and Director Effectiveness Evaluation (BDEE) of our own board, which reaffirmed our strengths. Our early structured succession plan further underscores our dedication to organisational growth and mission fulfilment and the Institute has put in place initiatives and achieved many milestones that have brought us to this point. I couldn�t be prouder of the team and am confident that in ICDM, soon to be under Jackie�s capable leadership and with the unwavering support of the board, we will continue to set the bar high.These milestones and initiatives, highlighting ICDM's robust growth, include:Community Expansion: Grew to over 1,500 individual members and 127 corporate members, 64% of which represent public-listed companies (PLCs) with the remaining 36% from the private and public sectors.Programme Delivery & Training: Delivered over 500 programmes and trained more than 30,000 directors, with increasing participation in development programmes like Aspiring Directors Immersion Programme� (ADIP�) and Leading for Impact (LIP).Revenue Growth (2024 vs. 2023):Overall Revenue: Increased by 53%.Leading for Impact (LIP) Programme Revenue: Increased by 172%.Membership and Director Sourcing Revenue: Increased by 52%.Board Remuneration Reviews Revenue: Increased by 56%.Bespoke Programmes Revenue: Increased by 24%.Aspiring Directors Immersion Programme� (ADIP�) Revenue: Increased by 211%.Directors Registry: Features 1,264 pre-screened, board-ready candidates.Female Representation in Registry: Rose to 38% in 2024, a significant increase from 33% in 2023.ICDM will launch the PDCF later this year - a structured, competency-based pathway for directors and for the industry and companies, globally aligned and with a benchmarked baseline qualification. This is in line with the roadmap set out by the Securities Commission Malaysia towards achieving a resilient and high-performing capital market. This national set of standards aims to significantly accelerate the growth of a diverse and qualified talent pool of directors across both public and private sectors and government-linked boards to help companies achieve optimal board composition from the start.Jackie Mah, the current Executive Vice President and succeeding President and CEO of ICDM, said, �Now more than ever, companies, boards and directors are pressing for qualified leaders and peers who uphold uncompromising standards of professionalism and ethical conduct. Just as we hold employees of organisations to certain standards and evaluate them with clear key performance indicators, Boards and Directors should also have mechanisms in place to evaluate their performance and development. The PDCF is not just a certification�it is a commitment to ensuring exemplary standards and quality of leadership among directors across the public and private sectors to meet rigorous, clearly defined benchmarks. More importantly, it will strengthen board effectiveness at scale and safeguard the future success of businesses and organisations.�Since its inception in 2018, ICDM has championed diversity, inclusion, and sustainability in boardrooms. They have expanded their services to include independent board and director effectiveness evaluations (BDEE), board skills matrix, and director sourcing, achieving a 69% success rate in director placements, including women and first-time directors. To further impact governance, ICDM has led regional initiatives like the ASEAN Board Trends Report and ASEAN Directors Registry, and formed strategic partnerships with IOD UK and other regional IoDs, the 30% Club Malaysia, and Climate Governance Malaysia, aiming to elevate board leadership across borders. Additionally, ICDM provides the Mandatory Accreditation Programme (MAP) and Leading for Impact (LIP) for professional development, empowering boards with essential competencies. They also offer comprehensive board advisory and consultancy services, including coaching and mentoring. ICDM engages in advocacy through its network and external stakeholders, expanding its training and advisory services to include sustainability and ESG.About the Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (ICDM):The Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (ICDM) is a membership-based organisation whose mandate is to professionalise directorship in Malaysia. As the national institute of directors (IoD), ICDM is committed to providing continuous professional development - empowering boards and directors with forward-thinking mindsets, practical knowledge and essential competencies. Established by the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and supported by Bank Negara Malaysia, Bursa Malaysia and the Capital Market Development Fund (CMDF), ICDM's goal is to be the leading influence of excellence in governance and to build a robust corporate governance culture in Malaysia.
