Country Group Holdings Plc (CGH) and its early-stage investment arm, Pi Ventures, have agreed to take a 16.6 per cent effective interest in digital wealth management platform Coinbag to update the market on a new initiative and partnership in financial technology space.

Country Group Holdings Plc (CGH) and its early-stage investment arm, Pi Ventures, have agreed to take a 16.6 per cent effective interest in digital wealth management platform Coinbag to update the market on a new initiative and partnership in financial technology space.

Coinbag was founded with a mission of making digital asset investing simple and stress-free. The platform uses algorithms to create personalised digital asset portfolios that match clients’ individual financial objectives and generate passive income by connecting with a range of decentralised finance (DeFi) applications.

The seed-stage fintech company from Europe is in the process of securing regulatory approval to open up access to major markets and launching automated digital asset staking at the next update.

CGH chief executive officer Tommy Taechaubol said Pi Ventures had identified Coinbag as a stand-out opportunity and ecosystem partner based on the quality of the end-to-end user experience the team has developed. Clients are on-boarded via a fully-online process which establishes their wealth-building goals and risk tolerance, and thereafter the platform’s technology stack handles the rest, he said.

All of the complexity and pain points typically involved in constructing and managing diversified digital asset portfolios (from a universe of potentially thousands of unique instruments), maintaining security and transacting with DeFi smart contracts are abstracted from the client, resulting in a customer journey which requires zero technical knowledge of cryptocurrencies and blockchain applications.

Clients can be comfortable that their allocation to digital assets is appropriately secured, appropriately diversified and most importantly appropriate for them, the company said.

Coinbag is part of a new generation of fintech developers operating at the intersection of digital assets and automated wealth management. These platforms, also known as ‘robo-advisers’, use algorithms to create personalised recommendations and portfolios at massive scale, a disruptive technological development affecting both the securities and wealth management industries and trending both globally and in Thailand.

CGH has been following this technology for many years and sees it playing a major role in the future of the Pi platform, consistent with Pi’s vision of being a true personal trading and investment companion for the fast-moving modern lifestyle.

Pi Ventures continues to seek investment opportunities globally in companies and projects that can add value to the Pi ecosystem, with notable additional transactions in the pipeline, the company said. The early-stage investment company is backed by a 500-million-baht capital commitment from CGH.

Real estate and retail developer Siam Pita is organising a travel fair at Siam Paragon from February 14.

The company, which is also the operator of Siam Paragon, Siam Centre and Siam Discovery and the joint venture partner of IconSiam and Siam Premium Outlet Bangkok, said it is organising the event to support travel operators. Many world-class hotels have partnered to offer special accommodation, dining, spa and other packages and promotions aiming to boost the economy and boost the tourism industry from upstream to downstream, the company said.

The seventh edition of the travel fair, called “Siam Paragon Thailand’s Luxury Summer Escape”, will take place from February 14 to 20 at Siam Paragon’s Fashion Hall on the 1st floor.

Thanaporn Tantiyanon, assistant managing director for marketing events at Siam Paragon Development, said from the beginning of the Covid-19 outbreak in early 2020 to the current situation, Siam Piwat has been working with many partners from government sectors, private organisations and local communities to help people affected by the pandemic.

Siam Piwat offers retail spaces and business channels with an aim to help revive the tourism industry and generate over 500 million baht revenue that will help over 10,000 travel operators to move forward, and their employees to continue their business and cope with the crisis, Thanaporn said.

“This is an event that travellers should not miss to avail of the best prices and best deals offered by the leading hotels.”

The event will bring together over 73 world-class hotels offering luxury travelling experiences for Thai travellers and expats, offering special accommodation packages, dining vouchers, spa treatments, and other lifestyle activities.

Leading hotels groups such as AWC (Asset World Corporation – Hospitality), ACCOR, Four Seasons Thailand, Hyatt Thailand, Marriott Thailand and Minor Thailand will be joining the event. The newcomers to the event are: Pimalai Resort and Spa, Soneva Kiri, THANN Wellness Destination, The Standard Hua Hin, Trisara Phuket and RAKxa Wellness & Medical Retreat. The accommodations cover all major tourist destinations such as Bangkok, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phuket, Krabi, Samui and Phang Nga, she said.

“After the government resumed the ‘Test and Go’ entry scheme, the tourism industry has become more active. At the same time, the government’s latest tourism stimulus campaign ‘Rao Tiew Duay Kan’ [We Travel Together] in the fourth phase launched on February 1 has stimulated people to travel more than ever,” she said.

“We are confident that “Siam Paragon Thailand’s Luxury Summer Escape” will help boost the economy and boost the local tourism industry and customers will surely get the best-valued deals,” Thanaporn said.

The latest 2022 Data Centre Global Market Comparison report of Cushman & Wakefield ranks Asian Pacific cities Singapore, Hong Kong and Sydney among the top 10 data centre markets in the world.

Asia Pacific’s data centre market continues to grow at a relentless pace and is set to become the world’s largest data centre region over the next decade, according to a recent study.
The latest 2022 Data Centre Global Market Comparison report of Cushman & Wakefield ranks Asian Pacific cities Singapore, Hong Kong and Sydney among the top 10 data centre markets in the world.
Construction totals continue to grow globally, with 4.1 gigawatts (GW) currently underway in the markets covered, up from 2.9GW in the previous study and 1.6GW in the year before that. The largest clients continue to require larger builds, with 100 megawatt campuses becoming increasingly common.

The largest data centre market in the world, Northern Virginia, again finished on top of the overall standings for the third consecutive year. Along with a strong construction pipeline, it offers excellent connectivity, attractive incentives, and low-cost power, the study showed. Singapore tops the Asia Pacific ranking (2nd globally), moving up two spots globally from 2021, while Hong Kong comes in 2nd in Asia Pacific (6th globally), rejoining the top 10 after missing out last year. Rounding out the Asia Pacific top three is Sydney (8th globally).
Further growth is expected throughout at least the next five to 10 years, as the region requires entirely new builds due to a lack of existing infrastructure for retrofit.
Globally, regions across Latin America and Africa are also expected to enjoy considerable growth in coming years, as new undersea cables are bringing faster access to many markets for the first time. Secondary markets across the world continue to grow, with many soon to reach current primary market size.

Gareth Powell. Senior Director of Cushman & Wakefield Thailand.

“Asia Pacific’s outlook is exceptionally positive, with many multinational enterprises requiring further refinement in the cloud (or across multiple cloud services) and many regional governments pursuing online service access. Both established and emerging markets will see continued large-scale requirements for capacity by all participants,” said Todd Olson, managing director, Japan & Korea, and head of Asia Pacific Data Centre Practice Group at Cushman & Wakefield. “It is a great time to be investing in this sector and we look to continue leveraging our experience, expertise and access to relationships and supply to drive opportunities within both the asset and platform space.”

Thailand has been thrust to the forefront in recent weeks as a data centre market, with several new projects announced and more operators reviewing entry. Bangkok could become a proving ground for IoT deployments with the considerable high-tech manufacturing locally that contributes to the global IT supply chain.
Despite the current moratorium on new builds, Singapore remains a strong location for data centre deployment, propelling them to the top of the regional rankings, while tying for second with Silicon Valley on the overall global rankings. The result is also a testament to its strong ecosystems, excellent connectivity, consistent demand, and all major cloud services available and expanding where possible.
Ranked outside the overall top 10 markets last year, Hong Kong makes a big jump in 2022 to second in the region and comes in just behind the global top five markets. The market offers a robust development pipeline, excellent networks and all major cloud services are available. Considerable further growth is expected in Sydney (regional 3rd), Seoul (regional 4th) and Tokyo (regional 5th), as there is still some land and power available in key nodes despite their costs, the study said.
Secondary markets continue to develop rapidly, so much so that many will be skipping directly to primary market size in the next three to five years. This includes Jakarta, Osaka, Seoul, and several core markets across India, with new tertiary markets beginning to arrive on the scene. Hyperscalers are the driving force behind this, with both US- and China-based companies battling for market share regionally. As such, there is an overwhelming need for new hyperscale capacity across the board, with the largest occupants looking to grow throughout the entire region, the study said.
“The horizon for the data centre industry across the Asia-Pacific region is exceptionally bright, thanks to deep hyperscale demand and the billions of dollars in development in progress to support these key tenants,” said Gareth Powell, senior director of Cushman & Wakefield Thailand. “The 1.3 gigawatts under construction in the APAC markets reviewed is a small fraction of what is in planning regionally, with much action and growth coming over the next decade.”
