Singapore Aquatics Announces HotelPlanner as Official Accommodation Partner

Published

on

HotelPlanner’s sponsorship will also help the association’s elite athletes and provide them with added training and competition opportunities

SINGAPORE, March 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — HotelPlanner, a leading travel technology company and hotel booking platform, has inked a two-year deal to be the official accommodation partner of Singapore Aquatics for 2024 and 2025.

The sponsorship will allow international participants taking part in aquatic competitions in Singapore to rely on HotelPlanner’s platforms to plan their accommodation and travel itinerary with ease and efficiency. In addition, aquatics athletes in Singapore will also benefit from favourable HotelPlanner accommodation rates when travelling overseas for competitions and training camps.

HotelPlanner’s President of APAC, Mr Christopher Lee said: “We are thrilled to come on board as Singapore Aquatics’ official accommodation partner. This collaboration represents our shared commitment to support the development of the sport and contribute to the success of Singapore’s aquatics athletes and officials. With exciting opportunities for both our athletes to travel and compete overseas and for Singapore to welcome international athletes for competitions here, we’re confident HotelPlanner can add value to the aquatics ecosystem.”

HotelPlanner joins OCBC Bank, TYR and 100Plus as official partners for Singapore Aquatics, in support of athletes and officials across all aquatics sports. As part of the agreement, Singapore Aquatics and HotelPlanner will work towards strengthening and growing aquatics in Singapore through outreach events as well as provide added training and competition opportunities for athletes.

Singapore Aquatics’ President, Mr Mark Chay said: “We are thrilled to welcome HotelPlanner as our official accommodation partner in what promises to be an exciting two years for aquatics in Singapore.

“This year will be a busy year for our athletes as they prepare for the Paris Olympics in July before welcoming the world’s top swimmers for the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup in October. This will be followed by a hectic 2025 as we plan training and competition opportunities to help our athletes prepare for the 2025 World Championships in Singapore and the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand.

“We also hope our partnership with HotelPlanner will allow us to both develop and bring more events to Singapore as we push towards our goal of being a regional aquatics hub and a world-class aquatic nation.”

The partnership with HotelPlanner was announced during a media day with members of the women’s 4x100m medley relay team – Quah Ting Wen, Quah Jing Wen, Letitia Sim, and Levenia Sim – who became the first Singapore relay team to qualify for the Olympics.

The Quahs and Sims clocked 4 min 00.87 sec at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year but dealt a disappointing disqualification after Ting Wen jumped 0.1 sec too early. However, they made amends at the Doha 2024 World Aquatics Championships, clocking a new national record of 4 min 2.88 sec to book their tickets to the Paris Olympics.

National Head Coach of Swimming, Mr Gary Tan said: “The relay team have put in an immense amount of hard work and dedication to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics, and their achievement is truly well-deserved. Our goal is to ensure that the girls not only have the best possible experience during the Olympics but also achieve outstanding results. This is a pivotal moment for our aquatics community, and we are excited and determined to build on this momentum to continue strengthening and expanding our relay team for future successes.”

The HotelPlanner sponsorship will allow the relay team to explore both training and competitive trips to help them get in tip-top shape for the Paris Games.

Ting Wen, 31, who is set to compete at her third Olympics said: “We are really excited about this incredible opportunity to represent Singapore at the Paris Olympics. We’ve worked really hard to qualify, and after the disappointing disqualification at the Asian Games, finally making the cut is just an indescribable feeling. We’ve grown so much even though we’ve been racing for only a short time. I’m excited about what we can accomplish in the coming year.”

Levenia, 17, who is the rookie on the team said: “It’s been a whirlwind five months since I made my debut for Singapore. To qualify for the Olympics with my sister is something we’ve dreamed of and to be able to live that dream in Paris is something special.”

DuPont Wins Four Edison Awards

Published

on

By

WILMINGTON, Del., April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DuPont (NYSE:DD) today announced that four of its innovative material technologies were recognized with the prestigious 2025 Edison Awards™. Selected from hundreds of nominees, DuPont received two Gold awards, a Silver and a Bronze.

“We’re honored that four of our innovative technologies have been recognized for delivering exceptional performance and creating lasting value for our customers,” said Alexa Dembek, DuPont Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer. “This achievement reflects the ingenuity and commitment to innovation of our teams and demonstrates the meaningful impact of our close customer collaboration to bring cutting-edge technologies to market.” 

The four DuPont innovations awarded this year include:

Gold – Kevlar® EXO™ aramid fiber won a Gold in the Critical Safety Material Advancements category. Kevlar® EXO™ aramid fiber is a breakthrough aramid fiber innovation that delivers best-in-class ballistic protection as well as the highest level of flexibility compared to competitive solutions, providing increased comfort and mobility to users. It is also inherently flame-retardant, further setting it apart from non-aramid ballistic solutions. Kevlar® EXO™ is a copolymer which allows for greater control in development of the fiber structure resulting in 30 percent higher strength than standard aramid body armor fibers. As a result, overall ballistic system performance is improved while reducing other layers of the system. With unmatched pliability, Kevlar® EXO™ contours to curves and body lines, providing a more body-inclusive solution while still offering maximum protection. The result is the highest ballistics performance among all aramid fibers without compromising on weight, enabling the lightest weight soft armor solutions available on the market today.

Gold – Tyvek® Trifecta™ A2 breather membrane won a Gold in the High-Performance Engineering Materials category. Tyvek® Trifecta™ A2 breather membrane technology is a unique combination of its innovative lamination process and product design, combining a thin, robust monolithic polymer film with a non-combustible glass fiber substrate. This results in a lighter product while delivering long-lasting performance for increased energy efficiency requirements and ever-tightening fire regulations in the UK and EU. The choice of a monolithic (continuous, without pores) layer enables a more durable, better water-resistant, and more airtight patent-pending solution. These product benefits also save installation time and costs. Tyvek® Trifecta™ has been developed for residential, commercial, and mixed use. The benchmark set by this innovation is expected to drive development across the construction industry, resulting in further safety and energy conservation benefits for society.

Silver – AmberLite™ P2X110 ion exchange resin won a Silver in the Energy Storage and Management category. AmberLite™ P2X110 is designed to enable longevity and efficiency during the production of hydrogen from water. High-purity water is crucial for the efficiency and longevity of the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers that produce hydrogen from water. The AmberLite™ P2X110 ion exchange resin offers durable and reliable water quality that helps remove impurities and prevent contaminant build-up in electrolyzer loops. Designed to endure the thermal and chemical challenges presented in an electrolyzer, the specially tailored formula of AmberLite™ P2X110 ion exchange resins helps provide longer and more robust performance than industry-generic resins.

Bronze – DuPont™ Ikonic™ 9000 semiconductor polishing pad won a Bronze in the Semiconductor Innovations for AI & HPC category. DuPont™ Ikonic™ 9000 semiconductor polishing pads are a new expansion to the Ikonic™ polishing pad family for advanced node semiconductor fabrication, designed to meet polishing needs for advanced chips for use in AI, high-performance computing, and Internet of Things applications. In addition to addressing the increased chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) performance requirements at advanced nodes, pads in the Ikonic™ 9000 series enable significant process improvements for chip fabricators due to longer pad lifespan and groove design for slurry efficiency. Ikonic™ 9000 pads are designed for efficiency and productivity in semiconductor fabrication with a high removal rate, offering higher wafer throughput while optimizing production time and energy consumption. Semiconductor fabs can gain meaningful sustainability benefits through the increased productivity of their CMP processes and equipment.

Established in 1987, The Edison Awards™ recognize excellence in new product and service development, marketing, design, and innovation. Developed and maintained in the legacy of Thomas Edison, The Edison Awards™ “symbolize the persistence and excellence personified by Thomas Edison and his Menlo Park team, while also strengthening the human drive for innovation, creativity, and ingenuity.”
