DUBAI, UAE, Mar 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Vibe Marketing Tech Fest – the Middle East’s largest marketing technology summit, will take place on April 23 and 24, 2025, in Dubai, UAE.Digitalisation has revolutionised how customers engage with brands, transforming the traditional linear funnel into an intricate web of touchpoints. Today’s customer journey is dynamic, interconnected, and far from predictable.Marketers must now navigate a landscape where customer expectations are higher, attention spans are shorter, and engagement spans across multiple platforms and moments.The 16th global edition of  Vibe Marketing Tech Fest (VMF) will delve into these challenges, offering insights, strategies, and Martech solutions that empower modern marketers to adapt, innovate, and thrive in this new reality.The theme will focus on the convergence of marketing technologies, ad technologies, and ad journeys and explore how marketers need to adapt, be dynamic, and incorporate customer-centricity into their approach.Marketers must leverage the power of real-time data and technology to comprehend where a customer changes trajectory and what influences their decisions in doing so. “Customers are discerning and any disruption in convenience can hamper the path to conversions. Brands must adapt to fragmented and dynamic paths to purchase, driven by real-time data and emerging AI capabilities. Vibe Marketing Tech Fest puts the spotlight on the consumer, and how brands can navigate the changing technology landscape to deliver this convenience. With this edition, we have added themes like app marketing, ad tech integration, growth, digital marketing and retail media networks,” said Sanjay Swamy, Director at Martechvibe.Top conversations at VMF 2025 will cover:Engagement, Apps & SocialAI, Automation & TechMartech, Adtech & DataBrand Growth & RetentionThe conversations at VMF tackle real-world challenges affecting marketers today, with a look at preparing for possible scenarios in the near future. Rajesh Verma, General Manager, Middle East, Epsilon said, “We need forward-facing platforms like these to help dispel the myths that surround marketing and tech in the Middle East. Take retail media as an example; many believe retail media strategies rely solely on online behaviour and demographics, overlooking the power of transactional data, or that retail media only occurs on a retailer’s website. These gatherings provide an opportunity to educate marketers on the true potential of new media opportunities, and how to avoid the pitfalls. They foster important connections that place attendees in a much better position to navigate the complexities of the evolving landscape.”Richard Shotton, Founder of Astroten, a behavioural science consultancy and author of The Choice Factory and The Illusion of Choice, will deliver the keynote on how human decision-making remains remarkably constant in an evolving technology landscape in his session titled The Enduring Power of Behavioural Science. “It’s increasingly common to see brands and agencies incorporate consumer psychology as part of their process, although it’s not often systematically applied. There’s still an over-reliance on intuition, or when research happens, it’s based on claimed data. For example, creative routes are tested by asking people which ads they think would make them purchase… It’s not that respondents deliberately mislead researchers, just that nobody is aware of all the elements that influence their decisions.  When asked, people don’t — in fact, can’t — tell you what motivates them. So, findings from a lot of market research can never uncover the whole truth. There’s still more headroom to align research with genuine motivation through the application of behavioural science.”Speakers like Scott Brinker, Sir Martin Sorrell, Brian Solis, Neil Patel, Darell Alfonso, Fernando Machado, David Raab, Rob Bloom, and Steve Lok have delivered rich sessions in the previous editions of the summit.This year’s speakers include Alexis Jean Baptiste - Chief Data & Analytics Officer | L'Oréal, James Dutton – Chief Product Officer  | UM MENAT, Mai Cheblak - Vice President Group Media & Social | Emirates NBD, Marwen Ben Messaoud - Head of Growth Middle East, Africa, South Asia |  Spotify, Matthew Horobin - Associate Director Customer Experience | Modon Holdings, Mustafa Bohra - Associate Director - Martech and Analytics | Careem, Nandakumar Vijayan - Global Director, Marketing & Communications | LuLu Group International, Oleg Nesterenko - Chief Marketing Officer | Storytel, Charlotte Davis | Acting Director of Retail Media | Majid Al Futtaim, Sohail Nawaz MBE -  Head of Retail Media | Landmark Group, Sevgi Gur - Chief Marketing Officer | Property Finder, Rishi Gupta - Regional Director: Middle East & Africa | Nothing, and many more.For more information, visit Vibe Marketing Tech Fest 2025.About VMFFounded in 2018, Vibe Marketing Tech Fest (VMF) is one of the world’s largest and most influential marketing tech conferences.

The total number of charging sites increased from 43 to 103.  This expansion reflects the growing demand for sustainable EV charging solutions in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department projects a 30% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the EV market between 2021 and 2030.  In February 2025, nearly 65% of newly registered private cars were electric vehicles, highlighting significant market acceptance and substantial future growth potential.  However, with approximately 112,000 registered EVs and only around 10,000 public charging points, a considerable supply-demand gap exists.Successful Thailand Expansion Drives International GrowthIn 2024, Cornerstone Technologies successfully launched its “Spark” branded EV charging network in Thailand, marking a key milestone in its international expansion strategy.  This venture quickly gained traction, delivering a notable 544.4% increase in international revenue.  Thailand's EV market is experiencing rapid growth. At the end of 2024, approximately 227,500 EVs were registered, yet only about 11,500 charging points were available - an EV-to-charger ratio of 19.8, indicating significant unmet demand and substantial growth potential.  The Thai government's ambitious targets -725,000 EVs by 2026 and 2.5 million by 2040 - further underscore this potential.  Based on Hong Kong's EV-to-charger ratio of 10.8, Thailand would require at least 67,129 charging points by 2026 alone. This significant market opportunity prompted Cornerstone Technologies' strategic entry into the Thai market, enabling the company to expand its global presence and build a strong foundation for future growth by directly addressing this demand.Commentary from Mr. Vincent Yip, CEO and Executive Director of Cornerstone Technologies: “The Group is making strong progress towards profitability and is confident about its future.  We are actively pursuing growth opportunities in Hong Kong, Thailand, and other markets.  Our focus remains on driving technological innovation and service excellence, reinforcing our industry leadership.  Sustainability is central to our strategy. We are committed to expanding our intelligent and high-efficiency charging solutions to meet market demand and create long-term value for our stakeholders. We believe that through continuous innovation and strategic planning, Cornerstone Technologies will play a key role in shaping a greener and smarter future for the EV industry.” Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

With the growing demand for high-quality international produce in Singapore, aT aims to introduce more consumers to the unique textures, flavors, and versatility of Korean rice and fruits.Distinctive Korean FlavoursKorean cuisine is celebrated not only for its bold flavors but also for its numerous health benefits, thanks to its emphasis on fresh, nutrient-rich ingredients and time-honored culinary traditions. A cornerstone of Korean food is its use of fermented ingredients such as kimchi and doenjang (soybean paste), which are packed with probiotics that support gut health, improve digestion, and enhance overall well-being. These naturally fermented foods contribute to a balanced diet, aligning with the increasing consumer focus on digestive health and immune-boosting nutrition.Renowned for its chewy texture and exceptional quality, Korean rice has established itself as a distinctive staple in Singapore’s culinary landscape, setting it apart from varieties such as Thai jasmine rice and Vietnamese broken rice. Naturally gluten-free and rich in essential nutrients, Korean rice as well as rice products serves as the foundation for many beloved dishes, including bibimbap, tteokguk, and tteokbokki. Bibimbap stands out as a nutritionally balanced dish, featuring a vibrant medley of Korean vegetables that are high in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants – key elements of a health-conscious diet. The focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients aligns with the growing global demand for healthier food choices, as reported by The Business Research Company, the functional foods market is projected to expand from $281.3 billion in 2024 to $315.1 billion in 2025, reflecting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12%.Beyond staple grains, Korean fruits such as Shine Muscat grapes and premium strawberries have gained international recognition for their exceptional sweetness and quality.
