GameChange Solar 631 MW Genius Tracker™ Rising Up in Southern Texas

NORWALK, Conn., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — GameChange Solar announces a 631 MW Genius Tracker™ system rapidly rising in southern Texas. The system will be the largest solar PV project in the state, and, ultimately one of the largest in the country after completion. The project consists of 1.4 million solar modules across 4,000 acres in Wharton County (just outside of the Houston Metropolitan area). This capacity will generate 500 MWac / 631 MWdc of renewable energy thus projected to power 100,000 homes annually. To meet growing regional demand, the power generated at the project site will be bought online in blocks and sold to the ERCOT wholesale market in 2021. The EPC anticipates the project will be completed mid-2022.

GameChange Solar 631 MW Genius Tracker™ Rising Up in Southern Texas

Allison Larson, Director of Business Development at GameChange Solar, stated: “We are focused on providing excellent logistical support and training to make sure this 631 MW Texas project is smooth and successful for the EPC and the project owner. The system is using the proven and fast installing Genius Tracker™ with preassembled SpeedClamps™ which increases install speed versus typical competitors. We look forward to more of these large utility-scale projects in Texas and elsewhere.”

Max Johnson, Director of Business Development at GameChange Solar, stated: “This record-setting PV power plant facility is located along the Texas Gulf Coast and nearby to several other major solar developments. GameChange Solar’s Genius Tracker™ was chosen for this milestone project because of its’ robust design and ability to withstand heavy wind areas. Our engineering team and dedicated on-site representatives are ready to support developers and owners utilizing the Genius Tracker™ on their surrounding sites that are scheduled to break ground later this year.”

Vaccine Science and Policy Experts Call for Transformation of Vaccine R&D Enterprise

WASHINGTON, May 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the world continues to grapple with the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global community faces an urgent need to develop an efficient, coordinated and sustainable model for a healthy and well-functioning vaccine research and development (R&D) ecosystem.

In a new report, “Powering Vaccine R&D: Opportunities for Transformation,” the Sabin-Aspen Vaccine Science & Policy Group uses lessons learned from the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines to explore opportunities to overhaul vaccine R&D practices to better prepare for the next pandemic, to make strides against diseases currently without vaccines and to establish next-generation vaccines that offer meaningful improvements.

“The COVID pandemic and the rapid development of vaccines to fight SARS-CoV-2 have heightened our sense of urgency that the time has come to evolve and reform the vaccine R&D ecosystem with the goal of creating a world free of vaccine-preventable diseases,” said Shirley M. Tilghman, PhD, co-chair of the Group and president emeritus and professor emeritus of Molecular Biology and Public Affairs at Princeton University.

“This report reflects our group’s end-to-end thinking on vaccine science and policy, from continued innovation in developing and deploying vaccines, through equitable distribution of vaccines in low- and middle-income countries, to overcoming vaccine hesitancy and realizing the full benefit of vaccines to individuals, families and society,” adds Harvey V. Fineberg, MD, PhD, co-chair of the Group and president of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.

Despite remarkable accomplishments in recent years, including the new vaccine development platforms that have enabled the rapid response to COVID-19, challenges and structural barriers remain that have slowed the development of new and improved vaccines. The report focuses on five “Big Ideas” that aim to stimulate a more efficient and responsive approach to vaccine R&D:

  • Define leadership roles, responsibilities and mechanisms of accountability to prepare for the R&D demands that surface in a pandemic, including a leadership model that engages diverse stakeholders, expertise and institutions from across the globe.
  • Propel a transdisciplinary research effort to expand and advance vaccine science, including support for a research infrastructure that creates opportunities for novel and high-risk/high-reward ideas, leverages lessons from other scientific areas, ranging from the chemistry and physics of vaccine formulation to the immunologic basis of protection and creates two-way learning opportunities between research focused on pandemics and on longstanding endemic diseases.
  • Restructure regulatory science to reflect advances in vaccine R&D to make vaccine trials faster, nimbler and more cost-effective as well as to enhance product scale-up and manufacturing and post-market surveillance.
  • Reimagine clinical trials to feature equity and efficiency as prime drivers, with lower- and middle-income countries as full partners in clinical trial development at every stage.
  • Position vaccines as a public good and align incentives so that benefits accrue to all sectors of society, including a strong push to develop or maintain policies and practices that promote information sharing and collaborative problem-solving.

These recommendations offer the opportunity to advance and accelerate vaccine development and should be a critical part of any effort to reexamine and restructure the R&D component of the vaccine/vaccination ecosystem, a particularly relevant undertaking as the world continues to address and learn lessons from the COVID-19 response.

“The rapid generation and distribution of effective COVID-19 vaccines have demonstrated the efficiency that can be achieved through heightened collaboration, cooperation and data sharing across multiple contributing disciplines,” said Bob Tepper, Group member and co-founder and partner at Third Rock Ventures. “This offers a blueprint for the future where worldwide coordination of scientific, clinical, regulatory and distribution efforts must be established as the new norm.”

The Sabin-Aspen Vaccine Science & Policy Group is a partnership which brings together senior leaders across many disciplines to examine some of the most challenging vaccine-related issues and drive impactful change. The meeting of the Sabin-Aspen Vaccine Science & Policy Group and its research and report were funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Wellcome Trust.

DigiMax Makes USD $5 Million Strategic Investment in Technology Disruptor, Kirobo, to Help Solve Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Transaction Risks

Crypto Pioneer Brock Pierce Joins Advisory Boards of Both Companies

  • Kirobo, an Israeli based blockchain technology company, has developed solutions to some of the biggest problems in crypto by giving users new capabilities, such as:
    • ability to cancel a transfer if sent to a wrong address;
    • transactions can be password protected prior to sending to ensure only the intended user can be the recipient;
    • Kirobo provides all the benefits of centralized financial services in a fully decentralized format – the technology enables large scale intermediaries such as credit card companies, and alternative payment systems, to offer their users security that was not previously available.
  • Chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation and co-founder of EOS Alliance, Blockchain Capital, Tether, and Mastercoin (first ICO), Brock Pierce, has joined the Advisory Boards of both DigiMax and Kirobo where he will be providing strategic guidance around the global launch of Kirobo’s portfolio of products.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 4, 2021 / DigiCrypts Blockchain Solutions Inc. (DigiMax), the provider of Artificial Intelligence and cryptocurrency technology solutions, has today announced a strategic USD $5 million investment inKirobo, a leading cryptocurrency solutions developer. The investment will help Kirobo accelerate the release of upcoming wealth management and crypto transaction security products, which are set to be integrated in DigiMax’s AI system over the course of 2021.

Tel Aviv based Kirobo is a blockchain technology company that provides state-of-the-art tools to crypto users and companies, helping them gain better control of their funds. Kirobo offers a straightforward and user-friendly interface that makes crypto management as simple and secure as online banking – something that could revolutionize the world of DeFi.

DigiMax and Kirobo have also announced that crypto pioneer Brock Pierce has joined the Advisory Boards of both companies where he will be providing strategic guidance around the global launch of Kirobo’s portfolio of products. Over a stellar career to date, Pierce has established credentials as one of the world’s preeminent crypto thought leaders, having co-founded EOS Alliance, Block.one, Blockchain Capital, Tether, and Mastercoin. Pierce currently serves as Chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation.

Brock Pierce said, “I am excited to be joining the advisory boards of both DigiMax and Kirobo, and I am looking forward to helping Kirobo introduce its unique and disruptive technology to the market.”

The $5 million strategic investment by DigiMax includes an agreement to explore the integration of DigiMax’s AI technology into Kirobo’s solutions. The companies will also engage in marketing collaboration and the reselling of each other’s products to crypto exchanges.

Kirobo’s first product – a breakthrough cryptocurrency transfer technology that allows users to “undo” or reverse a crypto transfer sent in error – eliminates the myriad of human error risks inherent to the execution of crypto transactions. A loss of money can occur when a transaction is sent to the wrong address, or when it is sent to an address that does not support the receiving of the transaction, such as trying to send directly to a smart contract address. This is exactly the problem that DeFi is trying to address – and Kirobo has the solution.

Kirobo has also developed a range of additional bespoke solutions tailored to crypto holders and merchants, which are set for release over the course of Q2 and Q3. The company is in discussions with several crypto exchanges regarding the planned integration of its solutions for later in 2021. Elements of Kirobo’s new, soon to be revealed, solutions have helped the company yield two highly revered grants from the Israel Innovation Authority.

The company’s logic layer functions by providing a unique transaction code that must be entered by the recipient in order to receive funds from the sender. Until the recipient has entered the correct code, the sender may retrieve the funds at any time. Kirobo is currently helping large scale intermediaries, crypto exchanges and payments companies offer their users unprecedented levels of transaction security.

Commenting on the announcement, Asaf Naim, Kirobo CEO said: “Today’s announcement represents a firm seal of approval in Kirobo’s service offering from a highly renowned technology solutions provider. The DigiMax investment will help us expedite the launch of new industry-leading solutions designed to help crypto participants, current and prospective, to navigate transactions with a greater sense of confidence and clarity. By removing the fear from crypto transactions, Kirobo will boost wider adoption levels as the enabler of risk-free crypto transactions. In the coming months, we look forward to exploring the integration of DigiMax’s AI technology into our solutions while announcing some very exciting product launches that will advance the NFT and DeFi spheres.”

Chris Carl, DigiMax CEO said: “We’re proud to announce our strategic investment in Kirobo – a company that is set to fundamentally change the DeFi landscape with its suite of timely, security-centric solutions. DigiMax is firmly aligned with Kirobo’s mission to broaden the accessibility of crypto through innovative technology tools built on the principles of trust, transparency and security. To enable the wider crypto space to achieve mainstream adoption, the substantial risk of human error, and machine coding error inadvertently creating massive losses on transactions must be addressed. We are also excited to invite Mr. Brock Pierce onto our Advisory Board. The Kirobo technology has the potential to change the way the world does commerce, and Mr. Pierce will be of huge assistance in helping us to strategically introduce the technology on a global scale to provide secure transactions for individuals, and to provide giga-scale solutions to credit card and similar cash transaction companies wishing to enable crypto-based commerce.”

The Board of Directors has also approved the establishment of a Restricted Share Unit Plan. This plan defines the maximum number of restricted shares allowed to be issued as 10% of the outstanding common shares as of the issue date.

The terms of the investment include DIGIMAX paying US$5 million for 15% of the fully diluted shares of Kirobo and DigiMax will retain an Option for 8 weeks after closing to acquire an additional 15% in exchange for US$5 million of DIGIMAX shares based on the lower of the 10-day VWAP of DigiMax shares at the time the Option is exercised, or 35 cents per share. For each share exercised from the Option, DigiMax will receive a warrant with a term of 2-years, to purchase from Kirobo, one-half of an additional share at price equal to a fully diluted valuation of USD $50 million. In connection to all of the above, DigiMax is awarding consultants 2.4 million Restricted Share Units valued at 25 cents per unit and Options for 2.5 million shares with a strike price of 24 cents and a term of 2 years. These awards will be placed in escrow and will be vested over the course of 12 months.

About Kirobo

Kirobo has a single mission: to provide crypto users and companies with state-of-the-art tools to gain better control of their funds. The company’s final goal is to make blockchain as simple and secure as online banking. With support from the Israel Innovation Authority, Kirobo has already created logic layers over the Bitcoin and Ethereum network, and is rolling out advanced services and solutions on top of this layer. The company’s logic layer functions by providing a unique transaction code that must be entered by the recipient in order to receive funds from the sender. Until the recipient has entered the correct code, the sender may retrieve the funds at any time.

Brock Pierce is an entrepreneur and venture capitalist with an extensive track record of founding, advising and investing in disruptive businesses. He’s credited with pioneering the market for digital currency and has raised more than $5 billion USD for companies he has founded.

Bybit to Launch Cloud Mining to Democratize Ethereum Mining

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 4 May 2021 – Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit will launch in May Bybit Cloud Mining, a mining-as-a-service (MaaS) product that gives users instant access to ether (ETH) mining from as little as $100.

Democratizing and de-risking crypto mining

The relentless growth of cryptocurrencies in recent months has caught mainstream attention and fueled a surge in interest in crypto mining — or receiving crypto tokens for verifying blocks of transactions.

The profitability of this endeavor, however, is hampered by a number of factors: the supply and price of the computer system, operation and maintenance cost, and electricity fees that render crypto mining costly and painstaking.

As the first entry to Bybit’s ByFi product suite, Bybit Cloud Mining aims to help users navigate the booming yet ever-changing industry by lowering the barrier to entry and ensuring a hassle-free approach to mining, thus opening the door to greater profitability and fewer risks. Bybit Cloud Mining offers hashing power, or hash rate, to a remote data center with shared computing power to mine ether. Users can start from as low as $100 and without ever having to run their own hardware.

سيشهد iLab 2021 تعاون P&G ورعايتها للشركات الناشئة من جميع أنحاء المنطقة لإنشاء حلول من شأنها تحديد مستقبل الإعلان والتجزئة وسلسلة التوريد

 سنغافورة، 4 مايو 2021 /PRNewswire/ — أطلقت شركة Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG)، بالشراكة مع مجلس التنمية الاقتصادية السنغافوري (EDB)، اليوم iLab 2021، وهو مهرجان ابتكار افتراضي مدته 3 أيام. سيشهد المهرجان تجمع شركات ناشئة من سنغافورة ومن جميع أنحاء المنطقة للتعاون مع P&G وتطوير ابتكارات يمكنها التغلب على تحديات العالم الحقيقي في مجالات الإعلان وتجارة التجزئة وسلسلة التوريد.

Deputy Prime Minister Heng launching P&G’s iLab 2021

ومع إقامته في مركز سنغافورة الرقمي متعدد القنوات (i-SiDOC) لـ P&G، تشرف حفل افتتاح iLab بحضور ضيف الشرف، السيد هينج سوي كيت، نائب رئيس الوزراء، والوزير المنسق للسياسات الاقتصادية ووزير المالية بسنغافورة، وحضور السيد رفيق منصور القائم بالأعمال بسفارة الولايات المتحدة في سنغافورة، والسيد تيد تان، نائب الرئيس التنفيذي بـ Enterprise Singapore، والسيدة سيندي كوه، نائب الرئيس التنفيذي بمجلس التنمية الاقتصادية السنغافوري.

كقوة لدعم الخير والنمو، تعتمد P&G على التزامها بخدمة عملائها بشكل أفضل من خلال الاستفادة من التكنولوجيا لتلبية متطلبات المستهلكين وتوقعاتهم المتغيرة. ومن خلال الانخراط مع الشركات الناشئة التي تستخدم تقنيات جاهزة للمستقبل، ستتمكن P&G من المشاركة في رحلة المستهلك بشكل بناء.

“في المستقبل ما بعد الجائحة، يعد السعي وراء الابتكار أمرًا حاسمًا لتعافي اقتصادنا والنهوض به. تتمثل رؤيتنا لـ P&G في منطقة آسيا والمحيط الهادئ والشرق الأوسط وإفريقيا في أن تصبح شركة المستقبل، والاستفادة من سنغافورة كمركز ابتكار لـ P&G ومجال صناعتنا، وكذلك قيادة التحول الرقمي وتعزيز الابتكار في جميع جوانب أعمالنا”. كذلك قال السيد ماغيسفاران سورانجان، رئيس P&G بآسيا والمحيط الهادئ والشرق الأوسط وأفريقيا.

خلال فعاليات iLab، ستفكر الشركات الناشئة المختارة وتتبادل الأفكار مع P&G للمساعدة في حل التحديات باستخدام التكنولوجيا في مجالات مثل تخصيص الذكاء الاصطناعي والألعاب والتجارة الاجتماعية ومرونة سلسلة التوريد. وبعد ذلك، ستعمل الشركات الناشئة المختارة ذات الأساليب الواعدة مع P&G لطرح برامج تجريبية عبر أسواق P&G في آسيا والمحيط الهادئ والشرق الأوسط وأفريقيا.

تعتمد فكرة iLab على إيمان شركة P&G بأن النظام البيئي الريادي الديناميكي والمستدام أمر بالغ الأهمية للشركات لتلبية الاحتياجات المتطورة للعملاء. ومن خلال الدعم المقدم من مجلس التنمية الاقتصادية، ستقوم P&G أيضًا بتوجيه الشركات الناشئة وإنشاء تعاملات متبادلة من خلال مشاركات شبكات التواصل.

“نحن ممتنون جدًا لحصولنا على دعم الشركاء المتشابهين في التفكير بهذه الرحلة المثيرة، لا سيما الشراكات الوثيقة التي نتمتع بها مع مجلس التنمية الاقتصادية والحوكمة البيئية والاجتماعية وحوكمة الشركات. نحن نسعى دائمًا في P&G لقيادة التغيير في جميع جوانب عملياتنا، ودعم شركائنا وموظفينا وأصحاب المصلحة الآخرين”. كان هذا قول السيد كارثيك ناتاراجان، نائب الرئيس الأعلى والمدير المالي لـ P&G بمنطقة آسيا والمحيط الهادئ والشرق الأوسط وأفريقيا.

يركز iLab على ثلاثة مجالات مختلفة – مستقبل الإعلان ومستقبل البيع بالتجزئة ومستقبل سلسلة التوريد. تمثل هذه المجالات الثلاثة الاحتياجات المتطورة للمستهلكين وتجارة التجزئة، والتحول بالنظم البيئية لوسائل الإعلام والتغيرات الثورية بسلسلة التوريد.

من مجموعة البدء المكونة من 100 شركة ناشئة قُيمت لحل تحديات الأعمال الحقيقية التي وضعتها P&G، اُختيرت أفضل 27 شركة ناشئة للمشاركة في المهرجان الافتراضي الذي يستمر لـ 3 أيام في الفترة من 4 إلى 6 مايو 2021.
