A new report from Guidehouse Insights examines the building energy management systems (BEMSs) global market through 2030, estimates revenue associated with sales of surplus power through the EV fleet charging infrastructure, and discusses market drivers and barriers as the demand for commercial fleet electrification grows.

As many organizations plan to use EVs for their operations, fleet charging will impact the electrical system at fleet facilities. Although some sites will be able to handle the load from EV charging with minimal impacts, the power demands associated with charging EV fleets will likely exceed existing power capacity and management tools at many locations. According to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, the BEMSs market will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1% from $8.8 billion in 2021 to $12.7 billion by 2030.

“The need to add fleet charging infrastructure is anticipated to affect almost 10% of commercial properties,” says William Hughes, principal research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. “Many of these sites need to upgrade their BEMSs, and many more need to install a BEMS solution for the first time to support load management associated with charging EV fleets.”

Although upgrades to BEMSs will be necessary, planning is highly complicated and requires site knowledge of current electrical infrastructure and an analysis of the charging configuration required to meet the operational needs of the EV fleet. It also requires the organization to make fundamental decisions about the expertise it needs and how to pay for the charging infrastructure.

The report, The Impact of EV Fleets on Building Energy Management Systems, examines the global market for BEMSs from 2021-2030, as affected by the growing need for commercial fleet electrification. The report also looks at the revenue associated with sales of surplus power enabled by the presence of EV fleet charging infrastructure. It also reviews major global regions segmented by building type while assessing market drivers and barriers. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.

Organized by the International Cooperation Center of the National Development and Reform Commission, The People’s Government of Guangzhou Municipality, and Asia Digital Group, and undertaken by Guangzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission, Nansha District People’s Government of Guangzhou Municipality, and ADG Expo Co., Ltd., the two-day World Intelligent Vehicle Conference 2021 drew over 100 domestic and foreign government representatives, experts and scholars, business leaders, investment representatives, etc. Centering on the theme of “A New Chapter of ICV”, participants delivered speeches at the opening ceremony and main conference, 10 parallel forums, and a range of outfield activities. Participants discussed the latest trends in the global intelligent vehicle field, and the future of the intelligent vehicle industry.

Join hands to create a blueprint for the future

We observe an irresistible trend in the evolution of the automotive sector when intelligent vehicles become the highlight, a hot topic and the focus. When resources are pooled together, accelerated exploration and development become a foregone conclusion. It becomes all the more important to pool wisdom and pick the best course of action.

At the opening ceremony and main conference of the World Intelligent Vehicle Conference 2021, the leaders of the National Development and Reform Commission and The People’s Government of Guangzhou Municipality delivered speeches. Liu Jianxing, deputy director of the International Cooperation Center of the National Development and Reform Commission; Dong Ke, director of Nansha District, GuangzhouHugo Shong, Founding Chairman of IDG Capital; Zhu Dongfang, president of Asia Digital Group; Ouyang Minggao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, an expert in new energy power system; Shi Dinghuan, a former counselor of the State Council, former Secretary-General of the Ministry of Science and Technology, chairman of The Investment Association of China,IAC, chairman of the World Green Design Organization; Liu Yan, deputy Secretary-General of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM); Gu Yu, a professor of the Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany and a foreign member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (RANS); Dong YangChina EV100 Vice Chairman; Wu Song, executive vice president of GAC Group Co., Ltd.; Wang Xiaogang, president of Mobile Intelligence Group, Co-founder, SenseTime; Han Xu, founder & CEO of WeRide; Huang Hongsheng, founder of Skyworth Group and Chairman of Skywell New Energy Automobile Group; Liu Junfeng, vice president of iFLYTEK Co.Ltd.,general manager of Automotive BU, iFLYTEK,and general manager of Galaxy Autotech. Co.,Ltd; He Kaixin, vice-president & CTO of HYCAN Automotive Technology Co.,Ltd; Li Hengyu, vice president of Pony.ai and Head of Pony.ai’s Robotruck Business Unit; Jim Wunderman, president and CEO of the Bay Area Council; Karl Fuchs, vice president, Innovation & Technology China, Continental, and other important guests shared their opinions and suggestions for development.

Hugo Shong gave a keynote address via video link, stating that the intelligent vehicle industry has the characteristics of high capital and technology added value, strong influence on other areas, etc., and occupies an important strategic position in the global market. As an investor, IDG Capital aspires to foster more innovative unicorn companies. It is hoped that representatives would brainstorm and build consensus, as well as cooperate and work hard in areas such as building an internationally influential auto brand, enhancing chip supply, and application in certain scenarios.

Ouyang Minggao stated his hope in the speech that the concept of intelligent vehicles be extended to intelligent automobiles in a broad sense, promoting the intelligent revolution in an all-round way. Becoming intelligent is the most important means for all-round automotive innovation. The World Intelligent Vehicle Conference is held in Guangzhou, a city in the Greater Bay Area. It is a suitable location. The Greater Bay Area is the most dynamic place for technological innovation, as well as a prominent area for economic development, reform and opening up. It has benefits in terms of competent personnel and industries, especially in sectors related to intelligent vehicles. I believe that the World Intelligent Vehicle Conference held here will help the Greater Bay Area play a major role in promoting the development of intelligent vehicles and the application of artificial intelligence to vehicles.

Gu Yu delivered a speech entitled “The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence Technology: from ‘Perceptual Intelligence’ to ‘Cognitive Intelligence’”. Because smart devices are driven by the human mind, the vehicles are now called man-machine interaction, rather than man-machine fusion. The goal of man-machine fusion is to fully integrate the human and the machine. Perception is a type of perception that people obtain by gathering these things and processing with their brains. The process by which people use, comprehend, and develop knowledge is known as cognition. The two are not the same. The vehicle will be truly intelligent if we get from perceptual intelligence to cognitive intelligence one day.

In the speech entitled “The Selection of “Decarbonization” Track for Auto Enterprises to Achieve Dual Carbon Goals”, Wu Song remarked that the “dual-carbon” goals are promoting the automotive vehicles to become intelligent, connected and electrically powered. As vehicles become electrically powered, the industrial chain is decarbonized, necessitating a greater emphasis on a well-coordinated low-carbon supply chain. New energy vehicles are increasingly being integrated into the green energy ecosystem. GAC Group is forging ahead with the Green Low-carbon for Achieving Sustainable Success (GLASS) plan. The investment focus will shift from transforming traditional vehicles into hybrid vehicles to new energy intelligent connected vehicles.

The intelligent vehicle development and cooperation are discussed from a global perspective. Jim Wunderman gave a speech via video link. He pointed out that the Bay Area is not only one of the fastest-growing regions for new energy vehicle market, but also a region for the robust development of the new energy vehicle industry. The Bay Area is where the future of the intelligent vehicle industry lies.

Cornerstone of the industry

Veriff Releases Metaverse-Focused Identity Verification Solution

 

Veriff, a global identity verification provider has released a new suite of identity verification solutions built specifically for the metaverse. As the digital world quickly moves toward this new virtual reality, Veriff will be the only identity verification (IDV) solution provider with tools readily available to prioritize the safety of users in this new digital realm.

The metaverse market may reach $783.3 billion in 2024, and the entire metaverse market cap may reach 2.7 times that of just gaming software, services and advertising revenues. This makes the establishment of digital trust and transparency critical for business leaders as well as everyday users.

Through its AI-powered, video-first approach, Veriff is able to prevent more fraud than any other industry player. Secure IDV enables businesses to unlock the full potential of the virtual world and to build trust with their users. Veriff’s solution can discard bots and block sold accounts so that metaverse users can be certain that they are interacting with real people within the digital environment. IDV also sets higher user accountability and helps to prevent online bullying.

Following the age appropriate design code, Veriff’s technology helps to verify the identities of metaverse users while also protecting underage users, especially young children, from inappropriate or age restricted content or from people pretending to be someone else online.

“We see more people enjoying the metaverse, especially youngsters, and therefore establishing stronger digital trust at the very beginning of the journey will be paramount to its overall success,” said Janer Gorohhov, Veriff co-founder and CPO. “As more metaverse-based companies work to self-regulate this new digital space, Veriff has already kicked off first use cases with top metaverse companies to ensure safety on their platforms. It is crucial to invest in additional measures like identity verification including age verification but also parent and guardian verification to make the space more transparent and secure for all users.”

Use cases and benefits of Veriff’s metaverse identity verification solution include:

– Heightened age-gating protection – As developers struggle with implementing proper age-gating solutions in the virtual world, Veriff’s technology will protect users of all ages – especially children – by enabling automated, age-appropriate virtual experiences and preventing bad actors from infiltrating the user’s digital space

– Multi-account prevention – Whether it’s a repeat offender, or a campaign abuser, Veriff can stop account duplicates and only allow honest users within the metaverse to use services

– Safe global user scaling – Metaverse creators can onboard millions of users in seconds from all over the world on the first try with Veriff’s best-in-class user flow combined with its document support of over 10,000 government IDs in 39 languages

Google Cloud Partners With Minsait to Boost Digital Sovereignty in Spain

 

Minsait, an Indra company, and Google Cloud, today announced an expanded strategic alliance to jointly offer Spanish public and private sector organizations sovereign cloud solutions that will allow them to accelerate their digital transformation while meeting the highest levels of trust, security, privacy and sovereignty.

Minsait will provide its expertise in external encryption key management, security services, cloud infrastructure management services, and local support, as well as ongoing data center auditing.

Google Cloud will offer the elasticity and agility of a public and hybrid cloud based on open source technology, enabling Spanish organizations to innovate autonomously, without vendor lock-in. Google Cloud will ensure data is encrypted at rest and in transit. It will also make data location available in a new Google Cloud region that is scheduled to open in Madrid in 2022. Additionally, Spain’s public and private sector organizations will be able to reduce their own carbon footprint, benefiting from Google’s efforts and investments in sustainability and carbon-free energy, offering the cleanest cloud in the industry.

Full sovereignty with full functionality

Minsait and Google Cloud will provide the sovereign cloud offering to Spanish organizations across various sectors, including healthcare, automotive, public transport, government and more.

“Thanks to this collaboration with Google Cloud, we can help drive digital transformation for organizations of all sizes and industries. Together we bring competitiveness and innovation to the Spanish market with a sustainable approach, underpinned with a commitment to data sovereignty that is made possible through Minsait’s expertise as a trusted technology leader in Spain,” said Carlos Beldarrain, Head of Data Cloud at Minsait.

“We are proud to partner with Minsait on this joint digital sovereignty offering for public and private sector organizations across Spain. Innovation and accelerated digitization should come with the highest levels of security, privacy and sovereignty, which we look forward to delivering to customers under this agreement” said Isaac Hernández, Country Manager, Google Cloud Spain

The initiative was met with high interest by the Secretary of State for Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation.

“The development of a digital economy and sovereignty necessarily imply that citizens and organizations have control of their data and benefit from the availability of a sovereign cloud in Europe. This strategic alliance with a Spanish company is a step forward in the right direction” said Carme Artigas, Secretary of State for Digitization and Artificial Intelligence.

Google Cloud and Minsait have a history of collaboration in Spain. As part of their commitment to innovation and digitization of the Spanish economy, the companies announced a global strategic alliance last May to offer products and services aimed at the digital transformation of companies and government institutions. In addition, the AI Lab in Granada, one of the most advanced Artificial Intelligence centers in Europe, was recently launched by Minsait and the University of Granada, with Google Cloud as a technology partner.
