Woonivers Wins 2 International Awards at the 9th Edition of Global Brands Magazine Awards

October 26, 2021 Published by TheFintechBuzz.com

Woonivers, a fintech app start-up, has won the “Best Tax-Free Shopping App, Belgium” and “Best Tax-Free Shopping App, Spain” awards for the year 2021. The felicitation ceremony will be held at the Palm Jumeirah – Waldorf Astoria in early 2022 in Dubai.

The Global Brand Awards is an annual event held by Global Brands Magazine (GBM), an international publication headquartered in the UK. The award aims to recognise global brands achieving excellence in performance across a broad range of sectors while keeping its readers updated on the branding world’s key trends. Woonivers was evaluated based on customer service, satisfaction, digital innovation, strategic relationships and new business development.

Commenting on Woonivers winning the awards, ShivKumar (CEO) of Global Brands magazine said, “It was a tough call, but Woonivers deservedly receives not one, but two awards for being the best tax-free shopping app—a remarkable achievement. Until Woonivers, claiming tax rebates in foreign countries was an arduous process and one that put off many tourists from making purchases abroad in the first place. Woonivers has not only identified this pain point but solved it in such an astonishing efficient manner that it’s only a matter of time before this catches on in other countries.”

Commenting on winning the award, Antonio Cantalapiedra (co-founder) of Woonivers said, “Woonivers is beyond thrilled with this recognition. As e-commerce has grown exponentially, so have the challenges of delivering a smooth and efficient consumer experience. Top companies, the world over, have focused their energies and resources on improving the ‘purchase journeys’, digitising their in-store experiences, linking with social media sites, improving their platform performance, providing wider payment options, speeding up the checkout process, etc. One area which has not received the appropriate level of attention till the arrival of Woonivers has been the returns and refunds experience. Before Woonivers, there was unnecessary consumer anxiety, a wasted opp for brands, poor feedback, etc. I truly believe that managing the post-sale experience, especially “tax-free“ refunds instantly and proactively that the consumer finds palatable has a direct impact on engagement, future sales, customer loyalty, etc.”

Commenting on winning the award, Abel Navajas (co-founder) of Woonivers said,” Today’s society, and therefore travellers, demand agile and immediate solutions, and the Woonivers app, born in Spain, which has been operating in Belgium since 2021 – the country in which we have started our European expansion turns an initial project only of digital validation of the VAT refund status into a unique experience for the traveller, earning money as they shop on their holidays with a mobile-only service.

The traveller wants time to enjoy their holiday, not to waste it in complex, complicated refund processes and with too many bureaucratic steps as used to happen until our arrival. At Woonivers, experience is the most important thing, and we put the customer at the centre of the service as new technology companies such as Uber, Deliveroo or Amazon do. With Woonivers, everyone wins, travellers, shops and states, and in 2021 mainly the Brits, who will be able to do their Christmas shopping in Europe receiving money, isn’t it amazing?”

WePlay Collectibles: See You at OpenSea

October 26, 2021 Published by EuropeanGaming.eu

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The WePlay Collectibles non-fungible tokens hit the OpenSea marketplace.

The first NFT collection from WePlay Collectibles on the OpenSea NFT marketplace, “Shooter: from A to Z,” will drop in November. 50% of the collection’s token sales and the additional NFT Trophy token will go as Runner-up Award to the team that will take second place in the WePlay Academy League Season 2.

OpenSea is the world’s first and one of the largest digital marketplaces where people buy and sell exclusive crypto assets. It is in this NFT marketplace that WePlay Collectibles will release the first tokens — A and B — from the alphabet NFT collection “Shooter: from A to Z” on November 1. Between November 1 and 13, WePlay Collectibles will auction two more tokens daily on the platform.

“Shooter: from A to Z” will include 26 unique tokens, one for each letter of the alphabet. The things that are near and dear to shooter fans have been minted to become one-of-a-kind NFT items — the collection consists of notable words and phrases associated with popular first-person shooter games. Fans may try to get them all or choose a special one they like the most. All released tokens of the collection can be found on the official WePlay Collectibles website.

Participation in the auction is a chance to snatch a unique digital item and support esports in general. WePlay Collectibles endorses budding esports teams, so half of the total token sales of the “Shooter: from A to Z” collection and additional NFT Trophy token will go towards cheering up the team that lost in the finals as the Runner-up Award within the WePlay Academy League Season 2.

The WePlay Academy League is a training ground for academies of the world’s leading CS:GO organizations. The league provides up-and-coming players a real tournament setting to help the participants grow and hopefully find themselves on the main roster of the team one day.

The Runner-up Award was created to reflect the main vision of the WePlay Academy League project. There’s no rise without a fall on the professional esports scene. The WePlay Academy League youngsters should get through this, and WePlay Collectibles will help to cushion the first fall.

Once a token is released, collectors will have 24 hours to place their bids, so stay tuned for upcoming news.

“When creating our collection, we focused on designing an entertaining collection based on memes from the heart of the esports community and helping novice fans get to know esports better. Besides, we’re certain that “Shooter: from A to Z” fits the WePlay Academy League philosophy.

The goal of the WePlay Academy League is to nurture and train up-and-coming CS:GO players, while the collection intends to teach or remind the audience about the unusual and amusing terminology of this discipline. Buyers purchase tokens and boost the development of the WePlay Academy League project and novice teams.

Plus, the very idea of the Runner-up Award matches the WePlay Academy League approach. A never-give-up attitude is the main message that we are sending via this collection because it’s also a challenge for us,” says Alena Dalskaya-Latosiewicz, chief communications officer at WePlay Holding and project lead at WePlay Collectibles.

October 26, 2021 Published by TheFintechBuzz.com

Companjon, Europe’s leading tech company specialising in add-on insurance, announced today that it has been named an INSURTECH100 company by Fintech Global. INSURTECH100 represents the world’s most innovative insurtech companies that every leader in the insurance industry needs to know about. The annual list consists of 100 insurtech companies, shortlisted from more than 1,000 by a panel of industry experts and analysts.

“We are honored to be named an INSURTECH100 company as one of the worlds’ most innovative insurtechs of 2021,” said Companjon CEO Matthias Naumann. “Having our business model, digital lifestyle solutions and advanced technology setup recognized as most likely to succeed in the insurance landscape proves that digital businesses need to consider offering insurance add-ons that meet their customers’ needs and desires. Leveraging this opportunity will fuel their ecosystems, empower their customers, differentiate from the competition and significantly grow their business.”

“After launching only last year, Companjon is making big headway in the industry transforming the way people think about insurance,” said Fintech Global CEO Richard Sachar. “Bringing a successful business model from Asia to Europe, developing unique insurance add-ons that match peoples’ lifestyles while acting as both the risk carrier and tech distributor makes the company one to watch over the next year.”

“This recognition is a significant milestone for Companjon. As an early strategic partner, ZA Tech has worked closely with Companjon to develop unique, tech-driven solutions that are highly successful in the Asia market and making them accessible to the European market. I anticipate a successful future for Companjon and we’re very excited to continue innovating the insurance landscape together,” said General Manager of ZA Tech, Adrien Lebegue.

It’s exciting to be part of their growth journey and we’re looking forward to supporting their continued success in delivering innovative solutions at scale.”

QuickLogic Announces First eFPGA IP From Australis IP Generator on UMC 22nm Process

October 26, 2021 Published by Roboticulized.com

QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), a developer of ultra-low power multi-core voice-enabled SoCs, embedded FPGA IP, and Endpoint AI solutions, today announced the availability of its first customer-defined eFPGA block from the Australis IP Generator for the UMC 22nm process. The Australis tool enables rapid eFPGA IP generation for nearly any foundry and node. This eFPGA IP core is available now, and any future customizations of it for companies using this same foundry/process node combination can be completed in mere weeks.

The new eFPGA IP will be integrated into customers’ SoC designs and is supported by the complete QuickLogic Aurora software tool suite as well as a wide range of open-source tools.

By integrating an embedded FPGA IP, customers gain the flexibility to make RTL design changes post-production. Such changes enable a single SoC to serve multiple, adjacent applications, or to evolve with changing standards, while also allowing for the addition of new features to address competitive changes in the marketplace. As a result, the market opportunity and useful product life of high-investment SoCs can be dramatically extended, increasing profitability and product ROI. Particular benefits are expected for smart IoT, industrial, security, aerospace, healthcare, and high reliability markets.

“Historically, customers interested in adding embedded FPGA IP to their SoC designs have had a very limited selection of array sizes and foundry/process node combinations,” said Brian Faith, QuickLogic’s chief executive officer. “With capabilities enabled by our Australis tool, we have solved this challenge. Now we can customize the eFPGA IP, choose the specific process/node, and complete our customers’ designs in a very short period.”

Alien Worlds Achieves No. 1 Most Played Blockchain Game with 11 Million Daily Transactions, According to DappRadar

October 26, 2021 Published by TheBlockchainExaminer.com

Alien Worlds has been confirmed as the world’s most popular blockchain game with around 11 million daily transactions* by over 700,000 MAU (Monthly Active Users)#, according to on-chain smart contract activity tracked by DappRadar.

Launched in beta form during late 2020, the community of players has grown Alien Worlds to almost 3.6 million registered game players and NFT enthusiasts^. Early adopters were attracted by the ease of joining Alien Worlds, which unlike other blockchain games did not require cryptocurrency or the installation of a Metamask wallet to begin.

In Alien Worlds, players quickly discover the appeal of a play-to-earn game that they build and govern for themselves, while exploring seven planets across the metaverse. Daily activities include creating Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), meeting other gamers in user forums and selecting land and tools for a chosen playing strategy.

“We’re thrilled to see the enthusiasm of our community in building new applications in a more impressive fashion,” says Kevin Wang, Partner at Longling Capital and Founder of Forgame, a Hong Kong Exchange main board-listed gaming company.

Alien Worlds’ success is founded on the aim of bringing important aspects of real life into the digital world. These include: NFTs registered on the blockchain to represent unique crypto assets; the competitive Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) structure that engages and motivates players who can manage the community on the Planet DAO they have chosen as a virtual home.

“This game made it to #1 by providing possessions, an ecosystem, and an economic structure inside Alien Worlds,” said Max Infeld, an artist featured on Curiocards, the first art NFTs on Ethereum. “The Alien Worlds community has successfully inspired a generation of blockchain gamers to engage in the same intense co-operation and competition – mining, fighting, playing games and participating in governance – that is found in any earthbound community. That’s why the ‘social metaverse’ of Alien Worlds has taken off in less than 12 months.”

The Alien Worlds community of developers are now completing the design of a mobile-native UI which provides greater functionality on a single screen – including tabs for Notifications and Events – and makes it easier for players to access a fuller range of community activities.

“Alien Worlds started with a vision to make the most of NFTs and blockchain technology by building a social and economic structure that gamers could explore and enjoy in many different ways,” explains Kevin Wang.

F1 Esports Series Pro Championship presented by Aramco heads to iconic trio of circuits for Event 2

October 26, 2021 Published by EuropeanGaming.eu

Reading Time: 3 minutes

This year’s F1 Esports Series Pro Championship presented by Aramco started with a bang as we were treated to three thrilling races in Event 1, with Aston Martin’s Lucas Blakeley securing his first ever F1 Esports Series victory, before reigning champion Jarno Opmeer showed he won’t give up his crown without a fight with back-to-back wins which put him and Mercedes at the top of the Drivers’ Championship and Teams’ Championship standings respectively.

Event 2 sees the drivers take on three of the most iconic circuits in motorsport, as they get ready to do battle at Silverstone and Monza on Wednesday, before attention turns to Spa on Thursday. While the Pro Championship is only a quarter of the way through, picking up points here will be crucial as teams fight to get their hands on a share of the $750,000 prize pot.

The live shows will be streamed online via official Formula 1 channels on Faceboo, YouTube, Twitch and Huya, as well as broadcast on television by select international partners including the likes of Sky, ESPN and Fox Sports, whilst Qualifying show content will be streamed exclusively on Twitch and YouTube.

Please see the table below for the full breakdown of the platform splits so you don’t miss a moment of the action this week:

Day	Session	Time (BST)	Coverage
Wednesday 27 October	Qualifying Show 1 (featuring Quali. 1 highlights and Quali. 2 live)	15:30 – 16:45	Twitch & YouTube
Wednesday 27 October	Evening Show 1 (featuring Quali. 1 and Quali. 2 highlights, Race 1 re-run and Race 2 live)	19:30 – 21:00	TV & Online
Thursday 28 October	Qualifying Show 2 (featuring Qualifying 3 live)	15:30 – 16:45	Twitch & YouTube
Thursday 28 October	Evening Show 2 (featuring Quali/Race 1 and Quali/Race 2 highlights, Quali. 3 highlights and Race 3 live)	19:30 – 21:00	TV & Online

Ahead of this week’s Event 2, we spoke with four drivers, all looking to build on impressive performances in Event 1, with all quotes below available for use in editorial.

Marcel Kiefer – Red Bull

“The level of competitiveness is definitely super high this year. One of the new guys that has come in Bari Boroumand is super quick and I would already rate him as one of the fastest on the grid. What he’s done in league racing and his raw pace is super fast. There are definitely a few additions to the grid that are super quick. The speed of everyone probably does mean that it is more competitive than last year.”

Lucas Blakeley – Aston Martin

“We have got a lot more things right this year from the beginning. I’ve put a lot of work in personally in the off season for months and months, not necessarily on the F1 game. I focussed on utilising every aspect that would help me to go quick and that doesn’t necessarily mean improving lines into corners. I’ve been optimising every area that I physically can and I’ve become a more complete driver.”

Sebastian Job – Alpha Tauri

“The one thing I’ve learnt is to surround yourself with people that are better than you and then you can learn from them. That’s what I’ve done coming to a new game, I’m surrounded by people that are better than me at this game and it gives me the perfect way to improve. The speed at which I’m improving is really promising and that’s because of my teammates.”

Josh Idowu – McLaren

“We’re looking very strong [heading into Event 2], in particular Bari [Boroumand] who had some crazy pace from the first Event especially in qualifying which I would say is the hardest part. Once he can get it together in the race, I would expect a lot of wins from him.”

Jeeves, The Fintech Built For Global Companies, Launches Its All-In-One Corporate Card And Capital Financing Services For High-growth Startups In Canada

October 26, 2021 Published by TheFintechBuzz.com

Jeeves, the all-in-one expense management platform for global startups, announced today that it has officially launched its product and services in Canada. This expansion into the Canadian market follows the company’s highly successful funding rounds of a Series A at $31 million USD followed by a Series B of $57M. Both rounds were completed in 2021 in less than 90 days of each other for a total raise of $183M USD, and a valuation of more than $500M USD. The Canadian launch is the latest in a momentous year of growth for the company.

Jeeves provides a true corporate card and expense management solution for global-minded Canadian companies, with hassle-free, no fee, no interest, and no personal guarantee virtual and physical cards. In addition, Canadian entrepreneurs and business owners can earn up to 3% cashback and choose to pay the card back in USD or CAD. This makes Jeeves the ideal financial tool for Canadian startups with aspirations of expansion beyond borders.

In addition to its expense management platform and corporate card, the company has launched Jeeves Growth – allowing startups and SMEs to scale faster with easy to access non-dilutive capital in their local currency. Jeeves Growth, a new product that provides revenue based financing solutions to companies across the globe, leverages the company’s infrastructure and platform to provide longer term financing options to startups and SMEs on top of our cards and revolving credit lines. This aims to solve a significant challenge faced by Canadian startups.

“By launching in Canada we seek to solve a major problem faced by a lot of Canadian startups and fast growing companies with global presence. Our multi-currency corporate card platform will allow Canadian entrepreneurs to focus on their business and less on administrative tasks, while the Jeeves’ roadmap has a number of services planned that will offer significant positive changes to the Canadian startup landscape,” said William Lam, General Manager of Canadian Operations.

Both Jeeves Corporate Card and Jeeves Growth run on the company’s proprietary infrastructure with an easy-to-use user interface, allowing for Canadian companies to spin up their finance function within minutes.

“We differentiate ourselves by being really easy and intuitive to use. You don’t need a finance degree to utilize Jeeves. Expense management can be set up in a day and your corporate card is delivered from there.” said Co-founder and CEO, Dileep Thazhmon. “This has huge implications for companies waiting to be approved, holding up their growth plans. Any company regardless of industry can use our platform, however the majority of our current customer-base are high-growth startups.”

Jeeves is seeking to change the paradigm and revolutionize the way global companies think about their finances. As an alternative to the often time consuming and frustrating options startups and high growth companies face when looking for an expense management solution, Jeeves has been making waves as a fast and trusted service platform built for borderless companies – something the Canadian startup landscape has sorely needed for too long.

“Jeeves is already operating in 20 countries around the world, and our aim is to launch in at least 6 to 10 additional countries each year. With the Canadian startup landscape producing so many successful and globally operated companies, we are ecstatic about launching Jeeves in this market,” said Thazhmon.

Xponent Power Introduces World’s First Power Generating Solar Awning for the RV Industry

October 26, 2021 Published by Roboticulized.com

As more RV owners go dry camping, there is an increasing need for off-grid power. To address this need, Xponent Power is releasing the first commercially available retractable solar awning for RVs, the Xpanse Solar Awning. Deployed at the push of a button, the compact Xpanse solar awning provides shade while simultaneously generating over 1.2kW of solar power to run onboard appliances. The Xpanse solar awning is compatible with most RVs and uses high-efficiency, rigid solar panels to enable extended off-grid adventures.

“Solar is the preferred source of power for RVs, but let’s face it, roof space is limited. You’re lucky if you can fit two or three large panels on the typical RV roof,” said Xponent Power Founder Rohini Raghunathan. “Our research indicates that RV owners overwhelmingly want to go boondocking more often but are fundamentally limited by access to power. With the Xpanse Solar Awning, we are enabling RV owners to generate substantial power on the go so that they can go off-grid more often.”

The Xpanse solar awning is compatible with electrical components used in traditional solar installations on RVs, including charge controllers, batteries, and inverters. The product, which can mount on either side of the vehicle, provides flexibility to RV owners who would like additional power but are not looking to replace an existing awning. It can also integrate with existing rooftop installations, extending the solar power generation capabilities beyond the roof of an RV.

Designed with a strong focus on quality and performance, the awning passed a series of rigorous tests that ensured its robustness. Additionally, the awning has built-in intelligence to detect adverse weather conditions and automatically retract itself to safety when needed.

“Traditional awnings that consist of a very large continuous piece of fabric experience huge wind uplift even at rather low wind speeds, very much like a sail. In contrast, the Xpanse solar awning has an innovative, patented design that creates small gaps between the solar panels when they are slightly retracted. These gaps allow wind to pass through, greatly reducing the wind uplift and making the awning intrinsically wind-tolerant. This means the awning can be kept open and produce power even at relatively high wind speeds,” states Raghunathan. “What’s especially great about this awning design is that it uses intelligence to detect wind speeds and to provide the necessary wind relief when needed.”

Based in California, Xponent Power was founded by solar industry veteran Rohini Raghunathan and a team of experts that bring together deep and multi-disciplinary expertise in the solar and RV industries. The Xponent team is in talks with automotive and RV manufacturers to provide the Xpanse solar awning as a pre-installed option on their new vehicles.

“Xpanse is just the first step to creating more mobility-focused solar solutions. With this disruptive technology platform, we are transitioning solar from a traditionally static to a dynamic and intelligent system, thereby enabling widespread solar adoption in new markets,” concludes Raghunathan. “We envision the adoption of our retractable solar technology platform in several diverse markets such as mobile medical, military, police, and emergency relief power, as well as tiny homes, apartments, and more.”
