Published

TECNO and Lay Zhang’s shared spirit inspires Southeast Asian youngsters to stop at nothing in taking every step to achieve their dreams.

HONG KONG, JAKARTA, Indonesia, MANILA, Philippines and KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Innovative technology brand TECNO, together with its global brand ambassador Lay Zhang, is poised to ignite the aspirations of Southeast Asian youngsters through the launch of its “Unstoppable Step” film. This hero film will kick-off TECNO’s brand campaign in the Southeast Asia region, appealing to ambitious and passionate youngsters who admire Lay’s spare-no-efforts attitude to making every step count on the path to achieving their dreams. Themed as #UnstoppableStep, the campaign launch is scheduled for today, coinciding with Lay’s birthday, symbolizing a new start on an unstoppable journey.

 

The film weaves together Lay’s story of fearlessly taking every single step, with the indomitable spirit of today’s Southeast Asian youngsters, in an inspiring and uplifting narrative. The film begins from Lay’s perspective, offering a glimpse into his own ascent to the stage he loves, step by determined step. Simultaneously, the film presents a parallel journey of young individuals in Southeast Asia who share the same spirit, and admire Lay Zhang for his determination to take steps forwards no matter what challenges lay ahead. Among Lay Zhang’s millions of passionate fans and young followers, there are skateboarders, tirelessly perfecting their tricks, aspiring DJs crafting beats with dreams of stardom, performers, diligently rehearsing their singing and dancing, and more. Each of these individuals is on a unique path, driven by a passionate pursuit of their goals and aspirations, just like Lay.

In June 2024, TECNO officially named Lay Zhang as its global brand ambassador. The partnership between the brand and the acclaimed star is rooted in a shared embrace of a “Stop At Nothing” ethos and a mutual commitment to driving progress through action. Since 2009, Lay has chased his dreams, at first as a trainee idol, tirelessly overcoming the intensive training and challenges that lay before him. In 2012, Zhang debuted as a member of the K-pop sensation EXO, quickly gaining popularity across Asia. This year, Lay released his newest album, “STEP,” signifies a deliberate and steady march towards growth and advancement, underscoring the significance of incremental progress and the recognition of each step taken.

Lay’s unwavering drive in chasing his dreams step by step, undeterred by any obstacle, perfectly aligns with TECNO’s “Stop At Nothing” ethos, inspiring an attitude of unceasing determination. Lay has not only continued to excel in the music and dance fields, but he has also become a prominent figure in reality shows, TV dramas, and movies. In every domain, he commits wholeheartedly, chasing and realizing his dreams with unwavering determination.

Embracing the challenge of the unknown, Lay asserts, “As long as we dare to take that step, there will inevitably be new outcomes. Even if we encounter failure, so what? It’s just a step in the journey.”

Lay’s unwavering dedication to his dreams mirrors the dynamic spirit of Southeast Asia’s emerging youth, aged 15 to 35, who make up 23% of the region’s demographic. Their impact extends beyond mere numbers, as their influence on the international stage is gradually emerging. The determined dream-chasing ethos of Southeast Asia’s young generation is a clear testament to the region’s thriving progress. They are actively shaping a dynamic and hopeful blueprint for Southeast Asia’s future and the world at large.

“As Lay marks another year of growth, we are thrilled to join him in this celebration,” stated Laury Bai, Chief Marketing Officer of TECNO. “Through this campaign, TECNO aims to forge a deeper emotional connection with the youth of Southeast Asia, inspiring them to steadfastly follow their dreams, just as Lay has done.”

The campaign will extend into the year-end shopping season, with TECNO encouraging audiences to share their “Unstoppable Step” stories on social media to win prizes, including Lay’s signed photos, merch T-shirts, and TECNO smartphones.

The “Unstoppable Start with a Single Step” campaign is an in-depth interpretation of TECNO’s “Stop at Nothing” spirit. In recent years, TECNO has tapped into its profound insights into the youth of Southeast Asia, weaving the brand’s spirit into innovative campaigns tailored to resonate with local audiences. The 2023 “Never Not Ready” campaign in the Philippines exemplified this approach, spurring the Filipino youth to ascend to greater heights. Through these campaigns, TECNO’s commitment extends beyond the realm of technology; the brand aspires to be a guiding force for youth across the globe, inspiring them to persistently explore and pursue their dreams with determination.

By

SINGAPORE, Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The 7th edition of Industrial Transformation ASIA-PACIFIC (ITAP) – a HANNOVER MESSE event, organised by Constellar with international partner Deutsche Messe, will take place from 14-16 October 2024 at Singapore EXPO. Against the backdrop of national policies driving Artificial Intelligence (AI) development and industry adoption[1] for long-term business and environmental sustainability, this year’s event will focus on the transformative power of AI in advancing regenerative manufacturing. As a tech enabler, AI optimises resources and processes to achieve ESG goals while balancing business growth and environmental preservation. AI-driven solutions enhance operational efficiency and resilience, improve workplace safety, reduce waste, and help align manufacturing operations with sustainability targets, paving the way for a greener future.

ITAP is the region’s premier showcase of manufacturing solutions, as well as launchpad for innovations. This year it will feature over 400 products and solution showcases from over 30 countries, including leading industry players such as Amazon Web Services, Azbil Corporation, Delta Electronics, Jungheinrich Singapore, Red Hat, SAP, Siemens, and many others. Regional and country pavilions from Mainland China, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and the UK will also foster cross-border networking, collaboration and knowledge exchange in one vibrant marketplace.

Launch of First Industry Whitepaper Detailing AI Adoption Approach

ITAP 2024 will launch its first industry-specific whitepaper, “Regenerative Manufacturing – Unlocking ASEAN’s Growth through Design and AI”, developed in partnership with Kearney. The first of its kind targeted at accelerating the technological transformation of ASEAN’s manufacturing industries, more than 350 mid-to-senior-level executives across various manufacturing industries, including CxO-level executives, participated in the surveys and interviews. The whitepaper explores how optimising product design and integrating AI-enabled solutions can unlock regenerative manufacturing, offering ASEAN manufacturers a compelling pathway to rapid growth.

The whitepaper identifies key trends crucial for manufacturers in the region to capture growth opportunities, providing actionable steps to kickstart regenerative manufacturing. For instance, nearly 60 percent of respondents identified AI investment as the most prevalent manufacturing trend, followed by focuses on ESG and long-term sustainability at nearly 50 percent. The steps highlighted in the whitepaper aim to balance profitability with environmental sustainability, helping manufacturers transform for long-term growth. The whitepaper also showcases case studies from industries where regenerative practices will be essential.

“There is a golden opportunity for ASEAN manufacturers to capture US$1.2 trillion in growth, and companies must ensure they are well-positioned for this. The journey toward regenerative manufacturing will be iterative, evolving with continuous learning and adaptation. As a trusted adviser to leading companies globally, Kearney is proud to drive transformative impact through Regenerative Manufacturing,” said Mr. Keat Yap, Asia Pacific Co-Lead, Operations and Performance, Kearney.

A more detailed sharing on the Whitepaper will be conducted by report authors Keat Yap, Partner and Young Han Koh, Principal, both from Kearney at 11.40am on Day 1 at the Industrial Transformation Forum (ITF).
