The award highlights Prince Group's ongoing efforts in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainable development guided by its Chairman, Neak Oknha Chen Zhi.
Under Chairman Chen Zhi's leadership, Prince Holding Group remains focused on initiatives that promote education, healthcare, youth empowerment, and community development in Cambodia. Through its philanthropic arm, Prince Foundation, the Group continues to implement programs aimed at fostering long-term impact.
One such initiative is the Chen Zhi Scholarship, a program named after Chairman Chen Zhi, which provides full financial aid, mentorship, and career development opportunities to high-achieving Cambodian students. In 2024, the program received 1,900 applications, with 100 scholars selected to receive not only financial assistance but also access to career fairs, leadership workshops, and mentorship programs.
"Receiving this award for the fifth time is a testament to our long-term commitment to Cambodia's sustainable future," said Gabriel Tan, Chief Communications Officer of Prince Holding Group. "Prince Group remains focused on building opportunities that empower individuals and strengthen communities. Our efforts will continue to evolve in response to Cambodia's needs."
Beyond scholarships, Chen Zhi has supported education and vocational training through key partnerships. A partnership with Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore has established an educational exchange program designed to enhance cross-cultural learning and entrepreneurial skills for Cambodian students. Meanwhile, the Prince Horology Vocational Training Center continues to equip young Cambodians with specialized Swiss watchmaking skills, providing them with career pathways in a high-precision industry.
Prince Foundation also strengthens healthcare access and supports mine action initiatives. In 2024, it launched an internal donation drive for Kantha Bopha's '10K Riel, 10K Donors' campaign, dedicated to pediatric healthcare in Cambodia.
Additionally, Prince Foundation crafted impactful public relations content in partnership with the ASEAN Regional Mine Action Center (ARMAC) at the Siem Reap-Angkor Summit on a Mine-Free World. Prince Foundation also co-developed the Saving All From EO (SAFE) chatbot, an educational tool designed to provide accessible, user-friendly guidance on recognizing and avoiding landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO).
As Prince Holding Group moves forward, it remains committed to working alongside government agencies, NGOs, and corporate partners to advance sustainable development in Cambodia. Through targeted CSR initiatives, Prince Group continues its mission of "Building a Better Future for Cambodia."

Hon.

Our success in delivering on this will ensure that we evolve from being passive consumers of AI to becoming net producers of talent and solutions that can compete and thrive internationally. As the global tech community turns its attention to Nigeria at GITEX NIGERIA, we must seize this opportunity to demonstrate what is possible in our tech ecosystem, showcase the depth of our innovation and the boldness of our ideas.' The GITEX NIGERIA programme then transitions to Lagos, headlining across two locations from 3-4 September. The Eko Hotel Convention Centre hosts the GITEX NIGERIA Tech Expo&Future Economy Conference, while the Landmark Centre welcomes the GITEX NIGERIA Startup Festival.

As we collectively build our city into the preferred destination for innovation and digital solutions, GITEX NIGERIA's shared ambition will place Lagos at the heart of Africa's digital future.'

GITEX NIGERIA is more than an event, it is the cornerstone for Africa's digital renaissance and a catalyst for developing world-class Al infrastructure which promotes scalability, sovereignty&global competitiveness. ' Global Tech Giants Converge in Nigeria to Enable Digital Growth Opportunities With a burgeoning big tech landscape, international names have flocked to Nigeria and other African markets to nurture talent, support with infrastructure or provide localised solutions for existing services.

As IBM operated by MIBB affirms its presence in West Africa, it continues to build on IBM's long-standing legacy of enabling Nigeria's digital transformation. Through local engagement and ecosystem-driven growth, the focus remains on delivering impactful solutions across key sectors such as banking, telecoms, government, and education.

As the country accelerates its digital agenda, GITEX NIGERIA offers a valuable opportunity to deepen collaboration and reaffirm our commitment to co-creating technologies that empower industries and communities for the future.'

Demand for elite maintenance in luxury branded residences continues to grow unabated in Dubai, says Hitches & Glitches
Dubai-based home maintenance specialist acquires series of contracts with premier brands such as Address, Vida & Four Seasons – number of luxury branded properties expected to double over the next five years Dubai, United Arab Emirates: UAE-based sustainable and technology-driven home maintenance specialist Hitches & Glitches (H&G), part of the Farnek Group, has experienced a significant increase in demand for home maintenance in Dubai's luxury branded residential market sector. More than 13,000 branded units were sold in Dubai alone during 2024, an increase of 43% compared with the previous year, according to property consultancy Global Branded Residences (GBR). Dubai's branded residential inventory currently boasts in excess of 132 developments and 43,000 units, with that number expected to more than double by 2030. 'With luxury branded residences increasing their share of Dubai's booming residential property market and attracting high net-worth investors with equally high standards and expectations, naturally the quality of maintenance service levels needs to meet, if not exceed those expectations,' commented Zohaib Azhar, director of operations at Hitches & Glitches. 'Discerning buyers who are willing to pay a premium of up to 69% compared to non-branded residences are understandably looking for professional home maintenance. They understand that quality maintenance preserves and enhances the aesthetic and functional condition of their property, as well as offering greater asset appreciation. 'This is particularly relevant if they travel extensively or use the property as a second or holiday home. To deliver exceptional service, two critical factors have emerged - technology and training,' added Azhar. H&G's smart technology platform, which was developed in-house by Farnek's smart FM solutions company HITEK, benefits international luxury property owners. H&G's home maintenance app enables owners and property managers to follow the progress of their planned maintenance and other service requests from initial reporting to completion and allows customers to approve and pay for any materials that may be required to complete the job online. 'Demand for home automation continues to grow exponentially, particularly as international investors, can manage these gadgets and their account remotely. 'In terms of training, it is essential that technicians attend regular training, to ensure that they are fully conversant with the latest technology, high-end branded kitchen appliances, expensive flooring materials and furniture, as well as the latest international health and safety regulations,' added Azhar. Recognising this trend over three years ago, H&G formed a specialist unit of highly trained technicians to service the luxury residential sector. 'Our technicians attend regular training sessions at our dedicated centre in Fanek Village. Prior to deployment, a quality supervisor checks each technician for uniform compliance, grooming standards, tools and PPE. Regular audits, and performance reviews ensure professionalism, consistency, discretion and adherence to luxury service expectations,' said Azhar. Presently H&G's home maintenance division has more than 1,500 active Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC), valued at over AED 26 million, serviced by 240 qualified technicians. The company currently serves residents in exclusive branded residences such as Address, Palace, Vida, Four Seasons, and other ultra-luxury properties in Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Downtown, Dubai Creek Harbour and Jumeirah Bay Island. H&G has designed a range of annual maintenance packages specifically for this sector, tailored to the apartment or villa type and encompassing a comprehensive range of services. In addition to MEP services (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing), air conditioning, painting, carpentry, pest control and small-scale renovations, gym equipment, swimming pools, Jacuzzis, home automation, laundry and appliances. 'We have also witnessed a marked increase in demand for housekeepers, maids, chefs, drivers, service butlers and security, particularly within branded residences,' added Azhar.
