HONG KONG, Jan 24, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Hong Kong's 2022 Virtual Investment Forum "Invest For A Better World With Innovation: From SPAC To Metaverse" was held on January 20, the first regional event aligning investors in the Metaverse with startups seeking funding. The Forum was co-organized by LBS Communications with New Vision Asset Management and Mileage Communications (Singapore), with the support of media platform partners Futu and Hong Kong Economic Digest.
Distinguished speakers were invited to tap the hottest topics in the capital markets: SPACs and Metaverse. The morning session featured SPAC best practice. Mr Claudius Tsang, CEO at A SPAC (Holdings) considered SPAC listings; Mr Robson Lee, Partner at Gibson Dunn and Mr Gordon Tsang, Partner at Stevenson Wong & Co, hit SPAC listings, de-SPAC transactions and risk factors from US, Hong Kong and Singapore perspectives. Mr. Yiu Ting Tsoi, President and CFO, Sieger Acquisition, spoke on IR strategy in the positioning of SPACs.

The afternoon session focused on Metaverse investment. Mr James Lei, a Director at Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI), spoke on effective real strategies to ride the Metaverse wave; Mr Gilbert Ng, Co-Founder of P.Mari, described compliance trends and regulatory directions in the virtual asset industry; Mr Robert Luo, Co-founder of NVC Media, introduced GameFi, the most advanced virtual development trend; and Mr Evan Auyang, Group President at Animoca Brands, introduced Animoca's unique investment strategies, limited not only to the hottest metaverse, Sandbox.

Panel discussions covered SPAC and de-SPAC, strategies for maximizing returns by investors, strategies for start-ups, and strategies for investing in the Metaverse. Panelists shared personal experiences and unique insights from the forum's warm, comfortable atmosphere. More than 300 institutional investors, listed company executives and start-up representatives attended the 2022 Virtual Investment Forum, with many gathering in the virtual lounge area afterwards for further discussions around the Metaverse.

Ms Joanne Chan, Managing Director at LBS Communications, said, "Metaverse has become an inevitable topic in the investment community - it's a new field which Big Tech and gaming companies are competing to develop. Even the most renowned companies have acquired virtual brands to tap this market. At the same time, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has formally implemented a SPAC listing mechanism. This means that many innovative, emerging companies will become M&A targets, providing an additional financing channel for those that are interested in entering the Metaverse.

"LBS proposed the virtual SPAC To Metaverse Forum in Hong Kong, inviting experts and investors to share knowledge and insights from a forward-looking perspective, creating an effective communications platform for the capital markets, disseminating investment information in sync with the times, and winning community recognition for the first event of its kind. In the era of diversified development in capital markets, we are happy that start-ups in emerging industries can gain sustainable momentum and happy to see greater opportunity for investors and for enterprises, achieving a win-win situation," said Ms Chan.

"After 11 years, LBS continues in its service mission to 'Leverage Big Strategy': improving traditional communications and IR services by expanding its investor networks around the world, staying on top of latest developments and apprising of market trends, continuing to expand our business and service coverage so that we are able to follow our clients' strategies and maximize them to effect. ESG, for example, helps companies explore advantages in fields of sustainable development, and creates new opportunities for our clients to communicate with investors. LBS hopes the Forum series will continue to uncover opportunities, and develop diverse information exchange channels," Ms Chan said.

The project provides possibilities for holders to receive high-level training. They will also grow from specialists in their particular fields when we establish this unique network. Entrepreneurs, angel investors, innovators, and individuals from various industries will network on NowMeta. The project will develop solutions in our communities by innovating together in the metaverse.

The project will now feature the community's avatar clothing on Meta Runway. This move will open up opportunities for artists to earn money while working 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The NowMeta Impact Award Show will recognize the NowMeta community's most brilliant and influential creators in all industries.

HONG KONG, Jan 21, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - LBS (Leverage Big Strategies) Communications Consulting Limited ("LBS"), a professional strategy-based investor relations consulting firm based the Greater China region with global presence, today successfully organized the first Virtual Investment Conference, "Invest For a Better World With Innovation - from SPAC to the Metaverse" in 2022, along with New Vision Asset Management and Mileage Communications from Singapore and under the support from our media platform partner, Futu and Hong Kong Economic Digest.
Over 20 industry leaders and professional institutional investors analysed the listing overview and options of Special Purpose Acquisition Companies ("SPACs") in the United States, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and explored the winning strategy of digital asset investment in Metaverse via a virtual forum and exhibition booths. The forum was supported by Futu as the platform partner and Economic Digest as media partner.

LBS invited a number of speakers to tap into the two hottest topics in the capital market - SPAC and the market development of Metaverse through multiple subdivided presentations. In the morning session, Mr. Claudius Tsang, CEO at A SPAC (Holdings) Group Corp., Mr. Robson Lee, Partner at Gibson Dunn, Mr. Gordon Tsang, Partner at Stevenson Wong & Co. analysed the listing mechanism and risk factors of SPAC in the United States, Hong Kong and Singapore, and Mr. Yiu Ting Tsoi, the CEO of HB Ventures to explain the successful IR strategy in SPAC and De-SPAC process as well as the successful positioning and investment strategy of SPAC.

In the afternoon session which focuses on Metaverse investment, Mr. James Lei, Chief Technical Adviser of Joint Labs in Asia at Ether Data explained the effective strategies for the real economy to master the wave of virtual reality; Mr. Gilbert Ng, Founder at Mura Capital described the compliance trend and regulatory direction of the virtual market; Mr. Robert Luo, Co-founder at NVC Media introduced GameFi, the most advanced virtual development trend and Mr. Evan Auyang, the Group President of Animoca Brands unveiled the unique investment strategies of Animoca Brands which is not only limited to the hottest metaverse - Sandbox.

In addition, the forum included two panel discussions, during which panelists explained to participants the composition of SPAC and De-SPAC, the key strategies to maximizing the return on investment of investors and start-ups, and the winning strategy of investing in Metaverse. The panelists actively shared their own experiences and unique insights in a welcoming and inquisitive meeting atmosphere. More than 300 professional investors, institutional investors, executives of listed companies and representatives of start-ups attended the virtual forum, and many of the participants gathered in the virtual lounge area afterwards to further exchange their thoughts and experiences in these important subject areas.

Ms. Joanne Chan, Managing Director at LBS Communications Consulting Limited stated: "The Metaverse has inevitably become a hot topic in the investment community, as it's a new field that Big Tech and gaming companies are competing to develop. Even international renowned sports brands have taken the opportunity to acquire virtual shoe brand companies to tap into the market. At the same time, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has formally implemented the SPAC listing mechanism. In other words, many emerging and innovative companies may become targets of mergers and acquisitions, providing an additional financing channel for start-ups that are interested to enter the Metaverse."

Taking advantage of this market trend, LBS held the first online forum on Metaverse in Hong Kong and invited many senior experts and investors to share their own experience and first-hand industry insights from a forward-looking perspective. This created an effective communication platform for the capital market and disseminated investment information that keeps pace with the times, gaining high recognition from the industry. In the era of diversified development of capital markets, we are happy to see more opportunities relating to the development of the market and enterprises. We are also glad to see that potential start-ups or enterprises in emerging industries can gain more sustainable development momentum and achieve a win-win situation.

"As the organizer of this Metaverse investment forum, LBS will continue to leverage on its objective and original aspiration of "Leverage Big Strategy" after 11 years of development. LBS will bolster its traditional financial communications and investor relations services by aligning with clients' strategies and maximizing results, so that investors around the world can keep abreast of the latest developments of their clients and be apprised of market trends to continuously expand business coverage and services. For example, ESG helps companies to explore and take advantage of exploring new opportunities beyond traditional investment areas in the field of sustainable development and to create more opportunities for customers to communicate with investors. With the rapid recovery of the global economy in the post-pandemic era, LBS also hopes that, apart from Greater China, this forum will also look ahead to other international markets and develop diversified information dissemination channels," she said.
