NEW YORK, March 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Polyplexus (polyplexus.com) will host a national competition for the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) (arpa-h.gov) to identify revolutionary, evidence-based ideas with the potential to transform health in the next 20 years. Cash prizes of up to $15,000 will be awarded to ideas that reach competition quarterfinals and beyond, as well as the chance for further development with ARPA-H Program Managers.

 

Polyplexus is hosting a national competition sponsored by ARPA-H to identify ideas to transform health in the U.S.

Called The ARPA-H Dash to Accelerate Health Outcomes (ARPA-H Dash), the online competition will use a bracket format and online discussion, debate, and voting to evaluate and narrow idea submissions and award winners from March 29 –May 16, 2023. It is open to visionary entrepreneurs, researchers, and clinicians across health, scientific, and technology communities and community advocates, policymakers, patients, and the general public.

“The parallels between the Polyplexus and ARPA-H missions are remarkable – we’re both working to open up the future of innovation to a broader pool of contributors in order to surface, evaluate, refine, and then activate the ideas and talent that will have the greatest potential impact,” said Michael Goldblatt, former head of the Defense Sciences Office and Polyplexus co-founder. “It is incredibly exciting to work with an organization that truly echoes the ethos of Polyplexus.”

Polyplexus – initially funded by the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency – is spearheading a faster and more efficient interdisciplinary research and development process to accelerate solutions to big and emerging problems. The open social platform disrupts the standard research paradigm by connecting researchers beyond traditional siloes with sponsors looking for innovative talent and ideas.

ARPA-H aims to benefit the health of all Americans by investing in breakthrough science to reimagine essential areas of medicine and catalyze health breakthroughs that cannot readily be accomplished through traditional research or commercial activity.

BERLIN, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At IFA 2026, TCL Industries and TCL Technology will jointly present frontier technologies and innovative products across three core sectors: smart devices, display and clean energy. Under the theme “Inspiration Habitat,” TCL creates an immersive exhibition space that visitors can step into, touch and experience, bringing its vision of AI-enabled smart living across every scenario to life.

TCL demonstrates how smart energy management is becoming an increasingly important part of the connected-home experience. By bringing together solar generation, battery storage, appliances and smart-home technologies, the company showcases a more integrated approach to how energy is produced, managed and consumed in everyday life.

Complete Home Energy Ecosystem

At IFA, TCL brings this journey full circle, demonstrating how expertise developed at industrial scale can help create smarter, more connected and more sustainable homes.

TCL’s showcase will include the latest residential energy solutions from SunPower Home Energy and TCL Smart Home, including new SunPower Origin back-contact panels, TCL T5 Pro TOPCon shingled and C2 back-contact panels, residential battery storage and heat pumps. An intelligent Home Energy Management System connects energy generation, storage, heating and household demand through a single platform, giving homeowners greater visibility and control over energy optimization to enable more sustainable living.

Feng Shui Master Liang Consultancy Expands Client Reach Across Singapore and Malaysia as Business Enters Next Phase of Growth

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Feng Shui Master Liang Consultancy is marking a new phase of business growth, expanding its reach beyond Singapore to serve a growing client base in Malaysia while strengthening its operations locally with a move to larger premises.

Founded in 2022 by Master Liang, the consultancy has developed from his independent Feng Shui practice, which began in 2018, into a growing consultancy providing personalised Residential and Commercial Feng Shui, Bazi consultation, Baby Naming and Auspicious Date Selection services for ROM and weddings, Caesarean births, grand openings and other important occasions.

The consultancy’s growth has been driven largely by existing client relationships and referrals, with clients introducing family members, friends and colleagues to Master Liang’s services. This network has also contributed to the consultancy’s growing presence in Malaysia, where engagements have included referrals as well as consultations connected to property investments made by existing clients.

“Many of our opportunities have grown naturally through the trust and support of our clients,” said Master Liang. “Clients who have worked with me have introduced their family members, friends and colleagues, and this has allowed the consultancy to gradually reach more people both in Singapore and Malaysia.”

Expanding Beyond Singapore

The expansion of services into Malaysia represents an important step in the consultancy’s development beyond its home market in Singapore.

As more existing clients develop personal and property interests across the region, Feng Shui Master Liang Consultancy has extended its services to support clients with needs in Malaysia. The development reflects the consultancy’s broader growth while maintaining the personalised approach that has been central to the practice since its beginnings.

In Singapore, the consultancy also reached another milestone in 2025 with its move from a smaller office to larger premises.

The expanded space was selected to provide greater privacy and comfort during consultations, while its central location makes the consultancy more accessible to clients travelling from different parts of Singapore.

Together, the larger Singapore premises and growing Malaysian client base reflect the consultancy’s progression from Master Liang’s early independent practice in 2018 to the establishment of Feng Shui Master Liang Consultancy in 2022 and its continued development today.

Growth Built on Long-Term Client Relationships

While the business continues to expand, Master Liang says maintaining long-term relationships with clients remains a key priority.

Rather than treating consultations as one-off engagements, the consultancy focuses on understanding each client’s individual circumstances and providing personalised guidance. Master Liang attributes much of the business’s development to this approach and the relationships established with clients over the years.

“I believe strongly in long-term relationships,” said Master Liang. “Every client who comes to me deserves the same respect, attention and quality of service. Personal interaction is something I want to preserve even as the business continues to grow.”

Master Liang also places an emphasis on helping clients understand the reasoning behind his recommendations.

These services form part of the consultancy’s broader aim of supporting clients across areas including career, business, family, relationships and personal development.

Looking Ahead

As Feng Shui Master Liang Consultancy enters its next stage of growth, its focus will remain on strengthening its presence in Singapore, serving its expanding client community in Malaysia and continuing to develop the practice while preserving its personalised service model.

Continued professional development will also remain a priority for Master Liang through ongoing learning, interaction with peers and the study of different cases as the practice responds to changing social and business environments.

“My priority moving forward is to continue having genuine, personal interactions with my clients and to provide thoughtful guidance based on their individual circumstances,” Master Liang said. “As we grow, I want that personal connection to remain at the heart of what we do.”

About Feng Shui Master Liang Consultancy

Founded in Singapore in 2022 by Master Liang, Feng Shui Master Liang Consultancy provides personalised Residential and Commercial Feng Shui, Bazi consultation, Baby Naming, Auspicious Date Selection and related services. Master Liang began practising Feng Shui and Bazi in 2018 and is a holder of DX lineage Yang Gong Yin Yang Zhai San He San Yuan Feng Shui.
