HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 August 2025 –Vingroup (Ticker: VIC) has been recognized as the largest private contributor to Vietnam’s state budget, with total payments exceeding VND 56.2 trillion. This figure accounts for nearly 40% of the total contributions from the Top 10 enterprises on the list.

The National Exhibition Fair Center, inaugurated on August 19, stands as a testament to Vingroup’s credibility and execution capability.

According to the PRIVATE 100 ranking of Vietnam’s top 100 private enterprises by tax contribution, published by the CafeF, Vingroup paid more than VND 56.2 trillion into the state budget in 2024, representing an 82% increase compared to 2023. Vingroup’s payments made up 23% of the Top 100’s total contributions and nearly 40% of the Top 10.

This is the second consecutive year CafeF has published the PRIVATE 100 list, which is based on actual payments made during a full fiscal year. Vingroup’s continued leadership in the ranking is a clear testament to its credibility, social responsibility, and the effective, sustainable business model of its entire ecosystem.

In addition to being the largest taxpayer, Vingroup is also Vietnam’s largest private conglomerate and one of the nation’s leading corporations. As of June 30, 2025, Vingroup’s total assets reached VND 964,439 billion; consolidated net revenue and post-tax profit for the first half of 2025 were VND 130,366 billion and VND 4,509 billion, respectively.

Vingroup’s two core business pillars, Technology – Industry and Real Estate & Services, achieved impressive growth. In the Industrials & Technology segment, VinFast delivered 72,167 electric vehicles worldwide in the first six months of 2025, a 3.2-fold increase year-on-year. In Vietnam, VinFast maintained its position as the market leader with 67,569 cars delivered, while also setting a new record in electric two-wheelers with 114,484 units handed over. These results reinforce VinFast’s pioneering role in driving the green transition.

In Real Estate & Services, Vinhomes remained Vietnam’s real estate leader, recording VND 67,504 billion in contracted sales and an additional VND 138,208 billion in unbilled bookings (as of June 30, 2025). Vinhomes was also the top real estate taxpayer in 2024, according to the PRIVATE 100 ranking. Other key subsidiaries, including Vincom Retail and Vinpearl, posted revenues of VND 4,274 billion and VND 5,912 billion respectively, maintaining their leadership in retail real estate and tourism.

Notably, on August 11, 2025, Vingroup announced the addition of two new pillars, Infrastructure (high-speed rail, bridges, ports, logistics, etc.) and Green Energy (solar, wind, and energy storage systems). These sectors are expected to unlock breakthrough growth potential, further contribute to the state budget, and strengthen the role of the private sector as the new driver of Vietnam’s development.

Vingroup contributes meaningfully to society through its Social Enterprises pillar. In August 2025, the Group’s Kind Heart Foundation was awarded the First-Class Labor Order, recognizing 19 years of tireless charitable efforts, supporting millions of disadvantaged individuals, and promoting sustainable community development with total disbursements of VND 30 trillion.

On August 19, 2025, Vingroup also proudly received the First-Class Labor Order for completing the National Exhibition Fair Center 15 months ahead of schedule. This milestone was dedicated to Vietnam’s 80th National Day and marks a significant contribution to the socio-economic development of Hanoi and the nation.

Vingroup’s repeated recognition at the national level, alongside its consistent top rankings in reputable business evaluations, is clear evidence of its growth potential, social responsibility, and long-term commitment to sustainable development.

Under the theme “Private Enterprises’ Second Leap,” the event explored critical challenges and opportunities for private enterprises, offering innovative strategies for sustainable growth. Beyond being a high-profile gathering of ideas, the event reaffirmed TOJOY’s vital role in advancing high-quality development in China’s private economy through strategic, actionable initiatives.

Ge Jun, Co-Chairman of TOJOY Shared Holding Group and the Chairman of the Board and CEO of TOJOY Shared Enterprise Services, highlighted the pivotal role of platform ecosystems in transforming business models. “The future will belong to businesses that either build platforms or leverage them,” he said.

Driving the Next Leap for Private Enterprises

In his keynote speech, “Private Enterprises’ Second Leap in a Changing Era,” Ge Jun, Co-Chairman of TOJOY Shared Holding Group and the Chairman of the Board and CEO of TOJOY Shared Enterprise Services, highlighted the pivotal role of platform ecosystems in transforming business models. “The future will belong to businesses that either build platforms or leverage them,” he said.

Using TOJOY’s Boss Cloud platform and NVIDIA’s CUDA ecosystem as examples, GE Jun outlined the critical role platform-driven ecosystems play in unlocking growth potential. He encouraged private enterprises to explore new consumer markets, especially in the emerging “emotional value” economy, while building new growth drivers by capitalizing on their core strengths. He also highlighted the importance of using platform ecosystems to expand globally and capitalize on opportunities arising from favorable policies. Calling for innovation and collaboration, GE Jun stressed that businesses must harness the synergies of platforms to drive disruptive value and shared success.

Wang Min, Executive President and Secretary-General of the China General Chamber of Commerce, reinforced this message at the opening ceremony, stressing the need for collaboration and innovation to navigate today’s challenging economic landscape. He praised TOJOY’s platform-driven model for optimizing resource allocation and driving sustainable growth in the private sector.

Boss Cloud Surpasses 6 Million Users, Cementing Leadership in Smart Ecosystems

The event marked a significant milestone for TOJOY’s flagship platform, Boss Cloud, which has now surpassed 6 million registered users. This achievement underscores the platform’s growing influence and its ability to aggregate resources, reflecting the broader digitalization and intelligent transformation sweeping through China’s private economy.

As one of China’s premier big-data resource platforms for entrepreneurs, Boss Cloud connects businesses across industries, regions, and stages of development. The platform employs advanced AI technology to match companies with opportunities, helping them identify markets, expand resources, build networks, and seize new growth potential.

Boss Cloud’s strong growth is driven by TOJOY’s ongoing investment in AI innovation. Its proprietary Tianxingqiong AI model has reached key milestones, including certification from China’s Cyberspace Administration for deep synthesis algorithms and regulatory approval for generative AI services in 2025. These developments enable the platform to deliver smarter, faster, and more accurate solutions to its growing user base.

Platforms and AI Propel the Future of Private Economic Growth

Boss Cloud’s success is closely tied to supportive national policies, such as the implementation of the Private Economy Promotion Law and the Interim Measures for Generative AI Services Management, which provide a favorable environment for compliant AI enterprises like TOJOY. Reflecting on these developments, Ge Jun remarked, “Boss Cloud’s 6 million users are living proof of the win-win logic of a shared ecosystem. Moving forward, businesses must align with policy directions and embrace platform ecosystems to seize opportunities in an ever-changing economic landscape.”

Having witnessed the evolution of private enterprises over its 34-year journey, TOJOY continues to lead the sector’s transformation from traditional models to the digital and intelligent age. Looking ahead, the company remains committed to empowering businesses through platform-driven solutions and AI-powered innovations, injecting new momentum into China’s economy.

  • The Yunlin Offshore Wind Farm has begun commercial operation at its design capacity of 640MW.
  • The project’s 80 wind turbine generators lift Taiwan’s installed total offshore wind capacity above 3.9 GW.
  • Enough clean energy to power over 600,000 Taiwanese households annually.

HAMBURG, GERMANY – EQS Newswire – 21 August 2025 – Yunneng Wind Power Co., Ltd. (Yunneng) announced today that the Yunlin Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) has officially entered full commercial operation. The 640 MW OWF, consisting out of 80 fully grid-connected wind turbine generators (WTGs), has successfully secured all required electricity business licenses, has met all mandatory regulatory aspects and has fulfilled all applicable contractual obligations under the financing agreement. This achievement marks a significant milestone as one of Taiwan’s largest OWFs transitions into its operations and maintenance (O&M) phase.

Yunneng is a joint venture of Skyborn Renewables, TotalEnergies, Electricity Generating Public Company Limited (EGCO Group) and Sojitz Corporation. With the start of the commercial operation, TotalEnergies will take the lead of the technical operations management, while Skyborn will continue to oversee other management services. The Yunlin OWF achieved full grid connection in January 2025 and provides green energy to over 600,000 Taiwanese homes annually. With a capacity of 2,400 Gigawatt hours (GWh), and meeting 90% of Yunlin County’s non-industrial electricity needs, the Yunlin OWF will also reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 1,200,000 t per year.

“The Yunlin OWF was awarded its grid connection capacity in 2018 and has since progressed towards COD. Throughout this journey, the project has established new models of collaboration with local suppliers and financing of green energy projects in Taiwan. It has also embraced environmental protection and community engagement. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the collective efforts of the project team, the sponsors and lenders, the contractors, as well as to the unwavering support of the Taiwanese government. This landmark offshore wind farm will continue to dedicate its commitment to achieve operational excellence over the next 30 years,” said Xian-Shuen (XS), Chairperson of Yunneng.

The Yunlin OWF is located in the Taiwan Strait, between 8 and 17 km off the west coast of Taiwan, at water depths from 7 up to 35 m. The 82 km² project area comprises 80 WTGs, whose generated electricity is fed into the Taiwanese power grid via two onshore substations near the townships of Taixi and Sihu in Yunlin County. Electricity from the project is provided to Taiwan Power Company (TPC) under two 20-year power purchase agreements. The project is backed by a strong financial consortium established in 2019, including Taiwanese and international banks alongside export credit agencies.

CPA Australia proposes policy ideas to support Hong Kong’s long-term competitiveness

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 August 2025 – As Hong Kong continues to navigate global economic shifts and rapid technological transformation, CPA Australia has today submitted a series of recommendations to the Hong Kong Government for the Policy Address 2025 consultation.

As one of the world’s largest professional accounting bodies, CPA Australia has outlined proposed measures across five key areas:

  • Reinforcing Hong Kong’s role as an international financial centre
  • Developing Hong Kong into an international innovation and technology (I&T) hub
  • Promoting environmental, social and governance (ESG) and the green economy
  • Diversifying the economy
  • Developing, attracting and retaining talent.

Ms Karina Wong, Divisional President of CPA Australia in Greater China 2025, said: “Amid the uncertainties created by trade frictions with major economies, Hong Kong has demonstrated its unique advantages as a strategic gateway connecting mainland China and the world. We need to amplify our competitiveness to secure the city’s long-term economic vitality, for example, the free port status and unrivalled business environment.”

CPA Australia recommends the HKSAR Government considers introducing a Qualified Refundable Tax Credit (QRTC) scheme for multi-national enterprises in the maritime services and commodity trading sectors. A QRTC provides a more flexible and effective incentive structure that can help to boost these sectors.

“A QRTC would allow Hong Kong to better compete for multinational investment and reinforce its position as a premier international trade centre and shipping centre,” Ms Wong said. “We also propose expanding the scope of the half-rate tax concessionary regime for commodity trading to include the captive commodities traders serving group companies outside Hong Kong and include the financial commodity transactions, such as derivatives trading.”

Low-altitude economy is another area that CPA Australia supports to diversify the economy, for its potential to transform logistics, mobility, and urban planning.

Ms Wong added: “Hong Kong can lead in low-altitude innovation by establishing demonstration zones, collaborating with the Greater Bay Area on cross-border channels, and attracting global talent to this emerging sector. With strong research capabilities and a growing commitment to innovation and technology implementation – evidenced by the establishment of government-led Regulatory Sandbox pilot projects, Hong Kong is well-positioned to translate innovation into practical applications.”

An efficient and effective government process to deliver public services, and a green environment for sustainable development are crucial factors to do business, as well as to attract enterprises and investments to Hong Kong. Therefore, CPA Australia proposes a suite of initiatives including the promotion of a robust e-government framework.

Mr Cyrus Cheung, Deputy Divisional President of CPA Australia in Greater China 2025 said: “We suggest the Government considers modernising operations and implements a ‘tell us once’ compliance model for individual and business data access in a secure and convenient manner. For example, we propose introducing legislation to allow data sharing across relevant and approved government agencies, and to establish an integrated platform that enhances data management across governmental departments. To simplify the processes of public services, we also suggest the Government reduces its reliance on in-person authentication where appropriate, and consolidates government services onto a single platform, such as iAM Smart, which allows online authentication across different services.”

Mr Cheung also emphasised the importance of sustainable development in shaping Hong Kong’s future. He called for better alignment of the Hong Kong Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance with the international standards to attract investment in green projects.

“Energy policy is core in our sustainability goals. The taxonomy should reflect the role of various forms of low-carbon energy in supporting Hong Kong’s transition to a net-zero economy,” he said. “We also encourage the government to develop a standardised carbon trading framework and explore the Carbon Connect initiative to strengthen Hong Kong’s leadership position in green finance.”

Hong Kong’s sound financial system and free flow of capital continue to underpin strong investment inflows, and the city is poised to return to its position as the world’s top IPO market in 2025, Mr Kelvin Leung, Deputy Divisional President of CPA Australia in Greater China 2025, said. “Despite global uncertainties and trade tensions, Hong Kong’s capital market remained resilient, drawing more family offices to setup in the city and reinforcing its role as a preferred venue for fund raisings.

“Investors choose Hong Kong for investment and wealth management because we are globally connected, rule-of-law based and responsive to market needs. We should be more proactive in promoting Hong Kong as a dual listing destination for overseas companies, and we encourage the Government and relevant regulators to explore the feasibility of an “IPO Connect” mechanism, to meet growing mainland investor demand for access to global assets.”

To increase private market liquidity, CPA Australia suggests piloting an intermittent trading facility for private companies in a controlled environment. “This would offer growth-stage companies a stepping stone toward future public listings, supported by clear eligibility, proportionate disclosure and robust settlement safeguards,,” Leung said.

Mr Leung also highlighted opportunities in digital assets, “It is a notable step for Hong Kong to launch the ‘LEAP’ framework to develop a trusted and innovative digital-assets ecosystem. We welcome the Government’s move to promote the responsible expansion of stablecoins under a fit-for-purpose regulatory regime. The Government should also consider a clear roadmap for real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation that balances innovation with strong investor protection.”

CPA Australia has also proposed recommendations on strengthening SME cybersecurity such as to launch a CyberSafe SME Subsidy Programme and introduce a CyberSafe HK certification. We also suggest initiatives such as increasing maternity and paternity leave similar to other developed economies, to attract and retain talent.

Cook Strait Transport – Ferry replacements programme approaches deadlines as Aratere retires

Road freight association Transporting New Zealand says the pressure is on for the Government to meet its Cook Strait ferry replacement milestones, as the Interislander fleet drops to two vessels without a contract for new ferries being signed.
The rail-enabled Aratere completed its final sailing this week, after 26 years of service. The Cook Strait crossing will be serviced by rail- compatible vessels until 2029 (ferries without train tracks for rail wagons to be shunted on).
The rail freight that moves across the Strait (only 5 percent of the total rail task by tonnage) will be removed from train wagons and onto ferries, a standard international practice known as “road bridging”.
Several ferry replacement project milestones are approaching at the end of September (third quarter 2025), including a letter of intent being signed with a preferred shipyard, and the ship contract negotiation being completed (subject to Ministerial decisions and contract execution between October and December).
In relation to port infrastructure, commercial agreements on multi-party infrastructure scope, costs and programme schedule were also scheduled to be reached by September.
Minister for Rail, Winston Peters provided an update to Transporting New Zealand and its members today (21 August 2025) advising that:
“The timeline, scope and approach we supplied in May 2025 remains in place… Ferry Holdings remains on track to complete negotiations later this year with the successful shipyard.”
The Minister advised that agreements relating to port infrastructure between Ferry Holdings (the ferry procurement company established by the Government), CentrePort, Port Marlborough and KiwiRail “will be signed in the final quarter of this calendar year, alongside the ship contracts, enabling the Government to announce details of the Ferry Holdings Cook Strait Ferry Replacement Project.”
Transporting New Zealand Chief Executive Dom Kalasih has welcomed the update from the Minister but says the road freight sector expect the Government to keep to schedule and avoid any more costly delays.
“Due to some decision-paralysis after the cancellation of Project iReX, it’s particularly important that Minister Peters and Ferry Holdings proceed at pace with the ferry replacement project. We’ll be keeping a close eye on how the project is tracking against its schedule, particularly as we approach the end of the year.”
“We have also encouraged KiwiRail to provide regular updates to Transporting New Zealand and its members on how they’re planning to manage demand, particularly during busy holiday periods and seasonal freight peaks.”

Refined tented retreat offers immersive local experiences and meaningful social impact.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 August 2025 – Dusit International, one of Thailand’s leading hotel and property development companies, has expanded its sustainable hospitality vision by taking on the management of Tantawan Tented Camp, a refined tented retreat where northern Thai traditions meet a strong commitment to sustainability, set amidst the scenic mountains of Chiang Rai.

Tantawan Tented Camp features 10 spacious safari-style tents – from two-bedroom family options to a romantic one-bedroom suite – each with a private bathroom, handcrafted teak furnishings, and modern comforts designed in harmony with nature.

Located just 40 minutes from Chiang Rai International Airport, this serene, boutique hideaway features 10 spacious safari-style tents – from two-bedroom family options to a romantic one-bedroom suite – each with private bathrooms, handcrafted teak furniture, modern comforts, and sweeping valley views. Guests can enjoy a curated programme of meaningful experiences, from trekking and cooking classes to tree-planting programmes and meditation sessions, all designed to connect them deeply with the local culture and environment.

Set to become a living showcase of Dusit’s group-wide Tree of Life programme, which integrates environmental stewardship, community engagement, and social impact across 31 criteria linked to selected UN Sustainable Development Goals, Tantawan Tented Camp is uniquely positioned to promote responsible tourism with measurable benefits for both local communities and the environment.

A cornerstone of this commitment is the resort’s close affiliation with Sunflower Organic Farm, a residential home for girls run by Friends of Thai Daughters, a non-profit that provides education, safe shelter, and emotional support to ethnic minority hill tribe girls at risk of trafficking. Dusit plans to further support the girls with training programmes and workshops conducted by institutions under Dusit Hospitality Education, namely Dusit Thani College and The Food School, as well as structured work experience at Tantawan Tented Camp and other Dusit properties, creating clear pathways for future careers in hospitality.

Guests are also invited to tour the farm, which supplies the camp with fresh produce, fragrant herbs, and free-range eggs. At the camp’s al fresco Reu Doo Gaan restaurant, northern Thai dishes and international favourites are prepared with these and other locally sourced ingredients, giving visitors a true taste of the region while supporting environmentally responsible practices.

“Managing Tantawan Tented Camp gives us a fantastic opportunity to bring the Tree of Life vision to life beyond our branded properties and showcase our commitment to having a positive impact wherever we operate,” said Gilles Cretallaz, Chief Operating Officer, Dusit International. “From sourcing food directly from the farm to providing education and training for girls and young women, this property shows how sustainability and hospitality can work hand in hand. With work experience opportunities through our educational arm, we can create transformative pathways for the next generation while offering guests an unforgettable and meaningful experience.”

Tantawan Tented Camp also offers a variety of facilities to enhance each stay, including a central swimming pool framed by tall palms and wildflowers with stunning mountain views, and an outdoor amphitheatre for movie nights under the stars, complete with a cosy bonfire. Guests seeking adventure can try archery, visit nearby hill tribes and an elephant sanctuary, or book a private ‘forest and field picnic’ featuring artisanal breads, seasonal salads, gourmet cheeses, and house-made delicacies. Guests are also welcome to play pickleball at Sunflower Farm’s two covered and lighted courts.

Families will appreciate a variety of creative activities, from pottery and glass painting to ‘Tung‘ making – the creation of colourful banners once used by Lanna villagers to bless homes, temples, and festivals. Participants can learn the spiritual meanings behind each design, symbolising values such as good fortune, protection, and prosperity.

To mark the start of Dusit’s management, Tantawan Tented Camp is offering a special ‘Stay 3, Pay 2’ package starting at THB 9,450 net per room per night (approx. USD 290*), inclusive of breakfast for two. The offer is available for booking now through 15 October 2025, for stays through 30 November 2025, exclusively via tantawantentedcamp.com.

In addition, Dusit is offering an exclusive two-night half-board voucher package at THB 23,900 net (approx. USD 734*), valid for stays from 21 August 2025 to 31 March 2026. The vouchers can be purchased directly at the 2025 Thai Tiew Thai travel fair in Bangkok (21–24 August) or online at dusitshop.com (21–31 August).

Tantawan Tented Camp joins a growing portfolio of distinctive independent properties managed by Dusit in Thailand, including Seapine Beach Golf and Resort, Hua Hin; Green Lake Resort, Chiang Mai; and Chainarai Riverside, Chiang Rai – each benefiting from Dusit’s service standards and operational expertise while retaining their own unique identity.
