BEIJING, Nov. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The digital economy and green development have become major trends in global economic and social transformation.

Chinese President Xi Jinping urged on Friday for all APEC members to enhance economic and technical cooperation, speed up coordinated digital and green development.

With a combined population of 2.9 billion, the 21 APEC economies account for over 60 percent of the world’s total gross domestic product (GDP) and about half of its trade. The region’s status is globally significant, and achieving coordinated digital and green development is of vital importance.

Relationship between digital and green economy

Digitalization and green growth are interdependent and mutually reinforcing, Wang Song, an official at the Office of the Cyberspace Administration of China, said at a press conference on November 7.

Wang made the remark when introducing a white paper titled “Jointly Build a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace,” which was issued by China’s State Council Information Office. The paper called for “joint efforts to coordinate the transformation towards digitalization and green growth.”

Digital technology plays an increasingly prominent role in promoting the green economy, Wang added. It is estimated that by 2030, industries in China will reduce carbon emissions by 12.1 billion tonnes thanks to advancements in digital technologies, Wang said.

China and other APEC members cooperating on digital economy

China has made the development of the digital economy a national strategy.

The scale of China’s digital economy has ranked second in the world for years, according to the State Council in a report submitted to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee for review on November 28.

Steady progress has also been made in cooperation on the digital economy among China and other APEC economies.

China’s Alibaba Group and the Thailand government signed an agreement in April 2018 in Bangkok which saw the two sides cooperate in e-commerce, digital logistics, tourism and personnel training.

The company in May 2022 launched a data center in Thailand to bolster local businesses’ digital innovation capabilities, according to China’s Ministry of Commerce.

The Philippines and Australia, have also cooperated with Alibaba in retail and logistics, finance and fintechs, digital entertainment and public enterprise services, said the company.

Cooperation in digital payment has also been strengthened. China Unicom said in November that more than six million UnionPay cards have been issued in Southeast Asia since the beginning of this year, an increase of 40 percent year on year.

So far, over 40 million UnionPay cards have been issued in 10 ASEAN countries, among which seven are APEC members.

China’s green development

Green growth provides a practical and flexible approach for achieving sustainable development of the world economy.

The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China included a call for the country to accelerate the transition to a model of green development, boost green and low-carbon industries, and promote green and low-carbon ways of production and life.

China aims to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.

The country’s national carbon market covers about 4.5 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, making it the largest globally after one year’s operation, said Zhao Yingmin, head of the Chinese delegation to the 27th session of the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on November 8 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.

China’s biggest maker of electric and hybrid cars, BYD, signed an agreement in September with Thailand’s industrial estate developer WHA Group to build a new electric vehicle (EV) factory in the country with a planned annual production capacity of 150,000 units.

With an aim to grow its EV market in hope of establishing 30 percent of its auto production as EV based, Thailand has introduced a new round of investment and promotion policies to encourage investment in the whole industrial chain of electric vehicles this year, according to the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade in February.

BYD’s entry into Thailand will help its auto industry move closer to that goal, as well as help the country become a global hub for EV manufacturing, said WHA’s co-founder and chairman Jareeporn Jarukornsakul.

The automaker hoped its EV technology will contribute to the country’s EV industry, said Liu Xueliang, the general manager of BYD Asia-Pacific Auto Sales Division.

China has urged its businesses to integrate green development throughout the overseas investment and cooperation, according to a guideline issued by China’s Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Ecology and Environment in 2021.

Embed Changes the Game with STATS Data Platform Powered by AWS

Embed

Nov 02, 2022, 20:46 ET

SINGAPORE, Nov. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Today Embed, the ultimate cashless solutions provider for the amusement, entertainment, and leisure industries, is launching the new technology insights data visualization dashboard, STATS, at the IAAPA Expo Orlando from November 15 to 18. Developed with and powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), this solution helps family entertainment centers worldwide transform guest experiences using data.

In its commitment to technology innovation, Embed has been launching industry-firsts for more than 20 years to enable, empower, and ease the business of fun. For example, its Mobile Wallet virtual game card launched in 2019 remains the only non-banking, non-finance, and non-loyalty brand to sit in customers’ Apple Wallet or Google Pay.

 

“We are on a continuous pursuit to develop tech solutions that will propel businesses to become the FECs of the future. In line with this goal, we worked with the world’s most comprehensive and adopted cloud provider Amazon Web Services to leverage the power of cloud technology to create a software solution that will transform FECs’ operations, revenue landscape, and consumer journey,” says Renee Welsh, CEO at Embed. “Research shows that staff who are assigned data analytics work spend 90% of the work week on nitty-gritty data-related tasks – and this does not include the analysis required to gain actual insights that drive business decisions. The STATS dashboard is our commitment to being part of the solution. Developing this highly automated data visualization dashboard with flexible widgets will help eliminate the counterproductive data work that operators struggle with.” 

This year, Embed is introducing its Tech of Transformation – a new line of innovative, integrated hardware and software solutions developed with technology industry leaders to transform the FEC industry. The key innovation is STATS, which makes business insights work harder for operators, providing data from venues, including a range of revenue data and a revenue forecasting widget, and that’s just the start, which helps operators identify more successful games and forecast revenue to future-proof their business. This Software as a Service (SaaS) solution is a response to ever-growing challenges that traditional FEC operators face as the industry digitizes. With STATS, operators of all business sizes can best manage their business, improve staffing levels and  scheduling, and reduce manpower waste.

The STATS insights platform leverages AWS to build user-friendly, customizable dashboards that visually present data, such as arcade game performance, guest activity, and revenue forecasting to make understanding the deep insights of an operation easy and engaging. This also helps FECs better understand guests’ behavior and improve the guest experience. Built with AWS’s global cloud infrastructure, this cloud-based solution offers accessibility, security, and low latency.

“A lot of businesses find data analysis daunting. Operators need data collated and analyzed instantly to make informed business decisions immediately. STATS was designed specifically to produce customizable, tailor-fit, real-time reports in a snackable, easy-to-access format according to specific business needs – minus the tech intimidation and data overload,” shares Renee Welsh.

“Given that FECs come in single or multiple locations, we worked closely with both small-medium and large FEC customers to understand their needs and deliver the deep visualized data insights operators wanted from their Embed system. We combed through their data, and created sets that will suit the needs of any organization. Out of these efforts, demos, and trials came a dashboard so flexible and versatile that it doesn’t matter what size of FEC is using it – everyone can benefit from STATS to maximize their business.” shares Andy Welsh, CTO at Embed.

Embed’s current data reports solution REPORTS, an analytics platform, allows operators to access 150 different analytics reports that provide insights into information like game popularity, game revenue, and game profit. “STATS is a step towards more in-depth, dynamic visualized data reporting. Our customers who use this rely on STATS REPORTS to address challenges with inventory management, loss prevention, and revenue management,” explains Renee Welsh.

“As the traditional FEC industry model digitizes, venue operators can use cloud technology to extract and analyze insights to arrive at data-driven business decisions, and enhance customer outcomes, while focusing on growing their business. We are excited to work with Embed to help the family entertainment industry go digital with AWS. We look forward to continuing to support Embed on their innovation and growth ambitions,” says Joel Garcia, ASEAN Head of Technology, Amazon Web Services.

Additional Embed Innovations: eShop & Staff Merchandise

Joining STATS in Embed’s Tech of Transformation roster are two new innovations that will ease operations:

eShop is an online shopping portal where Embed customers can conveniently purchase hardware, parts, and accessories anytime, anywhere in just a few clicks. The only one of its kind against competitors, this one-stop shop features 24/7 service to enable customers to customize and maximize their existing Embed solutions, as needed, with brackets, adapters, server parts, scanners, and even product kits and bundles.

As a response to an issue FECs are facing on missing staff passes and essentials, Embed is also introducing Staff Merchandise, a series of customizable wristbands, key fobs, and lanyards to match an FEC’s theme – giving the manpower a makeover with a consistent look that stands out.

Visit booth #1331 of IAAPA Expo Orlando and catch free demos of these latest releases from the Embed Mavericks, along with the rest of the breakthrough innovations like the KIOSK+, the award-winning Mobile Wallet, the integrated cloud-based software solution TOOLKIT, the smartTOUCH arcade debit game card reader, and a full range of wearables and game cards from Embed’s famous Bling Bar!

CGTN: Striding on new journey, CPC unveils agenda of 20th National Congress

CGTN

Oct 15, 2022, 23:18 ET

BEIJING, Oct. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) comes as China is striding forward on a new journey to build a modern socialist country in all respects.

The CPC on Saturday unveiled the key agenda of its 20th National Congress, saying all preparations had been completed for the congress, which will open at 10 a.m. (local time) on Sunday in Beijing.

The congress will envision the two stages toward building a great modern socialist country in all respects and set out strategic tasks and major measures for the next five years, Sun Yeli, spokesperson for the congress, told a news conference on Saturday afternoon.

According to the two-step strategic plan, socialist modernization will be basically realized from 2020 to 2035. From 2035 to the mid-21st century, China will become a great modern socialist country, prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful.

“No matter how the world changes, China will be unswerving in its determination and resolve to open itself up,” said Sun, adding that the country will steadfastly implement a wider, broader and deeper opening-up to the outside world.

Representing more than 96 million CPC members and over 4.9 million primary-level Party organizations, a total of 2,296 delegates, whose qualifications had been confirmed as valid, will attend the week-long congress.

Among the delegates, 771 are working on the frontline, accounting for 33.6 percent of the total. There are 619 female delegates, or 27 percent of the total, an increase of 2.8 percentage points compared with the figure of the 19th CPC National Congress five years ago.

Agenda set

The agenda of the 20th CPC National Congress was approved at a preparatory meeting presided over by Xi Jinping on Saturday afternoon.

Delegates are expected to hear and review a report of the 19th CPC Central Committee, examine a work report of the 19th CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), deliberate and adopt an amendment to the CPC Constitution, and elect the 20th CPC Central Committee and the 20th CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, according to the agenda.

During the preparatory meeting, participants also approved a list of 243 members of the presidium of the congress, and that Wang Huning will serve as secretary-general of the congress.

Reviewing report by 19th CPC Central Committee

According to Sun, one of the most important items on the agenda will be the hearing and reviewing of the report submitted by the 19th CPC Central Committee.

Opinions of more than 4,700 people were collected on the draft report, he said.

Xi, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, also held five symposiums to hear the opinions and suggestions of people from various sectors, including non-CPC personages, on the draft report, said the spokesperson.

The report, along with a CCDI work report and an amendment to the Party Constitution, will be submitted for deliberation at the upcoming congress.

Amending Party Constitution

The amendment to the CPC Constitution at the upcoming congress will incorporate the major theoretical views and strategic thinking to be established in the report of the 19th CPC Central Committee to the 20th CPC National Congress, said Sun.

The amendment will fully embody the latest achievements in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and to the needs of the times, said the spokesperson.

It will also enshrine the new ideas, thoughts and strategies on national governance that the CPC Central Committee has set forth since the 19th CPC National Congress, while reflecting the latest experience in the Party’s development and work, he said.

The amendment will meet new requirements for advancing the Party’s development and work in the face of new circumstances and new tasks, Sun added.

Electing new CPC leadership

Following the conclusion of the 20th CPC National Congress, a new central leadership will be elected at the first plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee.

After the plenary session, members of the new Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 20th CPC Central Committee will meet the press, said Sun.

The spokesperson also took questions from domestic and foreign reporters on some of the major issues up for discussion at the upcoming congress, ranging from China’s economy and COVID-19 response to the Taiwan question and China-U.S. relations.

When speaking about China’s economic growth over the past decade, Sun said the country had lifted all of its 98.99 million impoverished rural residents out of poverty by the end of 2020, a miracle in the human history.

“We have the confidence, resolve and capability to meet new goals and create greater miracles on the way forward,” he said.

Will A.I. Rewrite History? Kevin Kelly Dialogue With HistoryDAO

Historydao

Oct 12, 2022, 22:48 ET

Interview #2 with Wired Magazine’s founder and world-renowned technology optimist

NEW YORK, Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Kevin Kelly has been famous for his sense of the direction of all things technological since the 1980s. His books on the subject published over a span of decades are consistent best sellers. When something new comes over the technological horizon, such as A.I. and blockchain, the world is eager for his opinions, and HistoryDAO has the privilege of having his opinions directly for the second time this year.

In the first interview, HistoryDAO spoke with Mr. Kelly on the subject of “What Technology Wants,” and a good deal of conversation covered specifically “what blockchain technology wants,” and the role of NFTs.

 

“The fact that you know London is the capital of England is just a consensus,” said Kelly in the earlier interview. “The very thing itself is a consensus. Not just the representation of it.” This part of Kelly’s discussion brought to light the role of consensus in Truth, implying that the Platonic ideal for Truth may have been consensus all along. NFTs and blockchain, of course, are founded on the codification of consensus.

Taking these insights from Mr. Kelly to heart, the HistoryDAO team came to realize how important consensus has always been considered all the way back to the founding of Western philosophy by Plato, who believed that while objective truth existed, it could only be revealed through “dialectic,” which bears significant analogy to the modern concept of consensus.

In the coming weeks, HistoryDAO, represented by founder and CEO Sky Harris, and Mr. Kelly will add a favorite and increasingly critical topic to the dialectic–artificial intelligence, or A.I. Does A.I. have a role to play, or will it soon have a role to play, as a participant in dialectic itself? Do blockchain and NFTs have a unique touchpoint with Truth? The conversation will pursue such questions with reference to lessons from history and technology’s role in the future. Mr. Kelly’s perspective on A.I. will be explored as well in the context of another passion of his–art–as a universal and uniquely human endeavor.

Look for the conversation on HistoryDAO’s YouTube channel in the coming weeks.

About HistoryDAO

HistoryDAO is where the world records history in Web3. The Web3 community comes together on the HistoryDAO platform to mint historic and current events immutably on the blockchain to be preserved—unchanged and indelible—as HistoryNFTs.

About Kevin Kelly

Kevin Kelly is renowned  for his seminal role in the history of the Internet. It can be said that he “was there from the beginning.” Mr. Kelly co-sponsored the first Hackers Conference in 1984 under the auspices of the publisher of the Whole Earth Catalog, which also supported the oldest digitally based community bulletin board, The WELL, founded in 1985, and still operating today. In the early 90s he became founding editor and “Senior Maverick” of Wired Magazine. In his career as a chronicler observing the relationship between human beings and technology, he became famous for making dependable predictions about what that relationship would produce in the future.

Mr. Kelly has published several best-selling philosophical books on technology over the past decades, and his most recent work is a labor of love from the time he first arrived in an Asian country with camera in hand. It’s called “Vanishing Asia,” an anthology of more than nine thousand photographs he took while traveling through Asia since the 1970s.

Fierce Competition Ahead as Less Than 100 Asset Managers Secure Two-Thirds of Industry Asset Flows

by

News provided by

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.

Oct 12, 2022, 03:00 ET

Broadridge whitepaper finds organic growth across the global asset management industry expected to slow into 2031, but identifies new standards of differentiation to help firms win

NEW YORK and LONDON, Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Organic growth across the global asset management industry, measured on a total net asset flows basis, is expected to slow from a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9% over the last decade to 1.7% from 2021 to 2031 as competition heats up between both challengers and incumbents alike, according to a newly released whitepaper, The New Competitive Calculus: Winning with Data-Driven Strategy by global Fintech and asset management advisory leader Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:BR).

Despite this, Broadridge forecasts that net asset inflows will still expand by a healthy US$18T over the next decade, helping to push total assets under management (AUM) to a record of more than USD$170T– unlocking exciting new avenues for growth and challenges to overcome for those that can adapt to change.

 

Stiffer competition

Competition, however, will be more fierce as growth slows. Broadridge’s research reveals three increasingly distinct classes of industry competitors, two of which – expanding incumbents and innovative challengers – dominate the industry’s organic growth. Already less than 100 asset management firms globally accounted for nearly 64% of the industry’s $14.4 trillion-plus in net new flows gathered since 2016, according to Broadridge’s research.

“Opportunities will be driven by different capabilities and clients – from institutions to individuals, and from the US and Europe towards Asia, especially China,” said Ben Phillips, head of Asset Management Global Advisory Services, Broadridge. “While secular changes manifest in different ways, there are still primary drivers that asset managers need to look out for to maximize their growth. The reality is that these changes are creating unmet needs, all of which are opportunities to innovate and reposition themselves for growth.”

Broadridge expects significant opportunities to be had aligning business strategies to meet shifting secular trends, many of which, if missed, will increasingly bifurcate the market between winners and losers.

The study predicts that individual investors will drive 69% of net flows in the coming decade significantly overtaking institutional investors, while private markets will shift from driving 16% of net flows between 2011 to 2021 to 32% of net flows between 2021 to 2031. In terms of regions, The New Competitive Calculus outlines net investment flows shifting from the US and Europe toward Asia Pacific, especially China. APAC will drive 42% of net flows between 2022 to 2031, from just 26% between 2012 to 2021.

As individual investors seek to use their portfolios to address a wider array of financial and non-financial objectives, thematic investing is expected to rise. One example is the momentum in ESG and impact-oriented investing, which will account for 27% of net flows during the next decade.

New standards of differentiation

The above trends are dramatically changing the competitive forces facing asset managers today. Strong investment performance has long been regarded by the industry as the primary differentiator to win market share. However, with the shifts in opportunities identified in the whitepaper, performance is not enough to stand out. Today, competitive differentiation is being defined across four major dimensions:

Faster product innovation – Quick and effective innovation is key. Successful asset managers have adopted an innovation- and product-focused strategy where product development is a central role supported by data and propelled by a flexible distribution network.

Stronger distribution – Successful asset managers are set apart by their ability to scale. This means multiplying points of influence, strengthening relationships beyond value intermediaries, and building exclusive distribution relationships as a protected channel against rivals. A data-driven approach to segmentation helps maximize resource efficiencies and create leverage to better monetize distribution advantages.

More flexible delivery – Competitive asset managers have recognised the need to customise access for end-investors, becoming increasingly flexible with delivery models, especially for priority products and markets where such changes contribute to divisive market leadership. In determining which delivery models are worth pursuing, successful asset managers are focused on implementation cost, technologies that allow customization and portfolio personalization, and delivery capabilities that allow operational efficiency.

Better brand building – A competitive brand will set asset managers apart against the noise of new product capabilities and products, striking a balance between regional norms and global positioning. Strategic decisions include linking brand attributes to clear competitive advantages and embedding innovation and change as brand attributes.
