February 27, 2025

HONG KONG, Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Following its successful launch in 2024, Super Terminal Expo is set for its return to AsiaWorld-Expo, Hong Kong, from 4-6 November 2025, embodying a broader focus that now spans maritime and logistics alongside aviation.

“Venturing into maritime and logistics, while retaining our stronghold in the aviation sector, represents a strategic enhancement of our portfolio. We aim to foster cross-sector synergies to collectively advance terminal operations and efficiencies.” said Stella Fung, General Manager – Maritime & Aviation, Informa Markets. “It’s about creating an arena where thought leaders from maritime, logistics, and aviation can come together and collectively drive the industry forward.”

This year, the event strengthens its foundation with new aviation-related collaborators, including HKIA Consultancy Limited and Global Airport Development (GAD), which will host its long-awaited return of GAD Asia, the foremost event in the region dedicated to airport development and infrastructure, held in conjunction with Super Terminal Expo this year.

“GAD Asia will return as a one-day event happening alongside Super Terminal Expo. The co-location of Super Terminal Expo and GAD Asia undoubtedly creates new opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and investment in the region’s aviation infrastructure,” announced Claudia Kunz, Event Director, CAPA & GAD, Informa Markets. “We will unite key stakeholders, investors, and decision-makers shaping the future of airport development and finance in Hong Kong this coming November.”

In 2025, Super Terminal Expo will also continue collaborations with strategic partners Aviation Week Network (AWN), Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), Hong Kong International Aviation Academy (HKIAA), and International Cooperation and Service Center of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (ICSCC, CAAC), whose expertise and unwavering commitment have contributed to the event’s success.

Synergies Between Maritime, Logistics and Aviation

This year, Super Terminal Expo will broaden its focus to include ports and logistics hubs alongside airports. By incorporating these three sectors, the event will create enhanced networking and business opportunities for potential partnerships and joint ventures with relevant technologies, skills and business models. This strategic expansion reflects the growing interconnectedness of global supply chains and the critical role these industries play in driving economic growth and trade efficiency.

According to the 2024 full-year report conducted by PwC[1], the Southeast Asian transport and logistics (T&L) market is demonstrating resilience amid economic challenges, with European imports from Southeast Asia increasing from €82 billion in 2013 to €158 billion in 2023, marking a compound annual growth rate of 6.8%.

As the demand for logistics solutions continues to rise, driven by the booming e-commerce sector and the need for enhanced operational efficiency, the necessity for smart terminal and warehouse technologies has never been more pressing. This indicates the importance of investments in logistics infrastructure is critical for meeting the evolving needs of the industry, particularly as companies prioritise resilience and adaptability in their supply chains.

This collaborative environment is expected to ultimately contribute the growth and efficiency of the interconnected supply chain, fostering global trade and economic development. Find out what Super Terminal Expo can offer: https://buff.ly/42XlapA

EcoMatcher Unveils Tree Personas

A New Nature Interface for Engaging with Your Trees, in Any Language

HONG KONG, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EcoMatcher, a Certified B Corporation that enables companies to plant and track trees transparently, today announced Tree Personas, a new Nature Interface designed to make tree gifting and sustainability engagement more personal, interactive, and memorable.

With Tree Personas, companies can assign a distinct digital personality to each gifted tree, enabling recipients to virtually visit their tree in TreeTracker 3D, chat with it through TreeChat+ in their own language, and learn about its growth, local environment, and real-world impact.

Tree Personas build on EcoMatcher’s earlier TreeChat, which introduced chatbot-powered conversations with trees, only in English. While TreeChat enabled interaction, Tree Personas shape how a tree communicates in any language – from curious and playful to calm and reflective – while all environmental data, location, and impact metrics remain authentic and unchanged.

EcoMatcher describes Tree Personas as a Nature Interface — a new category of digital interface that allows people to interact with real ecosystems through digital companions connected to living trees. The company believes Nature Interfaces can help reconnect people with nature in an increasingly digital world.

Rather than passively receiving information about a planted tree, users can build an ongoing relationship with it — asking questions, learning about its ecosystem, and following its growth over time. Even when users are away, Tree Personas continue to evolve digitally, encouraging people to return and discover new reflections, observations, and updates.

“Trees are essential for life on Earth, yet most people rarely have a personal connection with them,” said Bas Fransen, CEO of EcoMatcher. “Tree Personas turn planted trees into interactive companions that help people learn about nature and build deeper connections with the ecosystems that support us.”

Meet the First Tree Personas

EcoMatcher introduces three Tree Personas available to companies gifting trees, all inspired by real ecological stages and behaviours of trees:

Twiggles: A young, curious tree highlighting small discoveries in nature.Oakly: A grounded, thoughtful tree sharing ecosystems insights.Seren: A calm, reflective tree encouraging deeper connections with nature.

Companies can also collaborate with EcoMatcher to create custom Tree Personas aligned with their brand values, sustainability goals, or storytelling needs.

EcoMatcher will share more about the background and opportunities of Tree Personas during its upcoming Demo Day on April 27. To sign up, visit www.ecomatcher.com/demo.

About EcoMatcher

EcoMatcher is a Certified B Corporation that enables companies to integrate transparent tree planting into their business. Through its technology platform, organizations can plant trees, track them digitally, and engage employees and customers in sustainability. EcoMatcher’s customers include Dubai Islamic Bank, Grab, Infosys, and Singlife.
