October 25, 2022 Published by Roboticulized.com

The Liechtenstein Group, an investment group owned by the Princely House of Liechtenstein, has made a key investment in Greensoil PropTech Ventures Fund II, putting the $100 million PropTech investment fund on target for a Q4 closing.

Headquartered in Vienna, with real estate holdings in the United States and Europe, the Liechtenstein Group manages a portfolio of companies, operating globally in the sectors of Agriculture & Food, Forestry, Renewable Energy and Real Estate. The Liechtenstein Group’s investment in GSPV underscores a shared view that innovative concepts are necessary for a sustainable real estate sector and a commitment to its own diverse real estate holdings.

“The Liechtenstein Group rarely invests in venture capital funds,” said Prince Constantin of Liechtenstein, CEO and Managing Partner of the Liechtenstein Group. “We chose Greensoil PropTech Ventures because its goals align with the Liechtenstein Group’s vision to make real estate more sustainable through cutting-edge technologies.”

Based in Toronto, GSPV invests in early to mid-stage venture capital opportunities across the United States, Canada, Europe and Israel. Pioneers in PropTech, GSPV announced the launch of a second venture capital fund in March 2021, to leverage GSPV’s deep industry expertise with its ability to develop lasting partnerships and build businesses that will create more efficient and sustainable real estate across sectors.

“The Liechtenstein Group is known for taking a thoughtful, holistic approach to increasing sustainability in real estate, agriculture and other key sectors,” said Gideon Soesman, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Greensoil Investments. “We are pleased to work with an entity whose culture is so deeply rooted in sustainability and innovation.”

The Liechtenstein Group’s investment comes amid a series of fundraising and investment activities by GSPV. Since GSPV Fund II’s March 2021 launch announcement, the fund has invested in six portfolio companies, including Oxygen8, Wynd, Home365, Miru, Intelligent City and Ivy Energy.

Oxygen8 of Vancouver is a manufacturer of compact, high-efficiency HVAC and Energy Recovery Ventilation Systems that continuously draw in fresh air and use cutting-edge heat exchanger technology to recapture energy from the exhaust air.

Wynd’s air purification technology also can be integrated with major HVAC systems and other products offering air purification solutions.

Home365 is a Palo Alto, Calif.-based tech- and data-driven residential property management platform. Home365’s premium OneRate service, its flagship product, uses internet-enabled sensors, artificial intelligence and modeling software to reduce the cost and carbon footprint of residential rental properties.

Miru Smart Technologies of Vancouver is bringing next-generation electrochromic windows to the residential and commercial real estate markets, blocking unwanted UV rays and controlling building temperatures with automated tinting. Miru’s glass also could extend the battery life of electric vehicles by reducing the energy needed to heat and cool cars, which could allow vehicles to travel up to 10% farther.

Ivy Energy, out of San Diego, Calif., has pioneered technology that allows residential property owners and tenants to use solar power for apartment buildings and townhomes. The firm’s software tracks and bills for solar energy usage, while rewarding tenants’ power-usage decisions to create efficiencies and cost savings.

Intelligent City of Vancouver is a modular construction company full of architects, designers and engineers. The firm uses proprietary software to create customized housing and commercial buildings of up to 18 stories with mass timber. Intelligent City expedites and simplifies construction, radically reducing costs and greenhouse emissions.

Greensoil Investments also recently released its Impact Report 2022, a comprehensive white paper chronicling the growth of mission-driven investing in AgTech, FoodTech and PropTech companies that are facilitating the smarter, more efficient use of energy, water and land.

Established in 2011, Greensoil Investments has launched two Greensoil Agro & Food Technologies Funds (GAFT I in 2011, GAFT II in 2013) raising a total of $40 million, in addition to establishing the $59 million Greensoil Building Innovation Fund (GBIF) in 2015 and Greensoil PropTech Ventures II (GSPV II) in 2020.

Exhibition industry in Thailand posts strong rebound

October 25, 2022 Published by Roboticulized.com

Thailand’s trade show industry has staged a strong rebound since borders reopened. 11 new international trade shows were successfully launched from May to September, 2022 with the support of Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) in recognition of their potential to advance the “Thailand 4.0″ agenda. To further drive the industry, TCEB has launched “SPIRE Thailand” campaign to boost domestic trade shows in the strategic industries of “Thailand 4.0″ agenda.

The industries the new international shows serve included digitalisation, intelligent automation, robotics, life sciences, healthcare, clean energy, and logistics. More than half were staged by the local offices of international organisers or in partnership with Thai organisers.

It is worth noting that two of the 11 new shows TCEB supported in 2022 – Maintenance, Industrial Robotics and Automation (MiRA) and Manufacturing Transformation Thailand (MATRA) – were held in Pattaya, the exhibition hub for the Eastern Economic Corridor or EEC. Both covered smart manufacturing and industrial automation, and served the interests of a great number of multinationals and small- and medium-sized enterprises based in the EEC.

TCEB President, Mr. Chiruit Isarangkun Na Ayuthaya, said: “The fact that 11 international trade shows made their debut in Thailand from May to September 2022 shows that Thailand’s exhibition industry has rebounded and organisers have confidence in Thailand and the economic prospect of the EEC. Our support for shows with a ‘Thailand 4.0‘ orientation is a policy-level commitment to using trade shows as a tool to drive trade and investment in the strategic industries of ‘Thailand 4.0‘ economic transformation plan. We are glad to have helped organisers maximise their return-on-investment and given the industry a timely booster.”

Mr. Kenny Yong, CEO of Fireworks Trade Media Group, organiser of MATRA, said: “We have chosen the EEC for our show because it is attracting a lot of investment and our show is technology-driven for industry transformation and efficiency befitting the investors in the EEC and responding to ‘Thailand 4.0‘ industries. Thanks to TCEB’s support, we were able to launch MATRA as a new addition to our portfolio and the first show of its kind in this special economic zone.”

In a bid to further drive investment in trade shows with a “Thailand 4.0″ orientation, TCEB has launched the development plan for the growth of domestic exhibitions in 2023, highlighting the collaboration of 11 partners from both the public and private sector under the umbrella “EMTEX: Empower Thailand Exhibition” project. One key initiative of the project is a new marketing campaign “SPIRE Thailand: Strengthen Power in Regional Exhibitions”. This campaign is designed to help local entrepreneurs align themselves with emerging global trends, such as intelligent automation and sustainability.

H3C Digital Tour 2022: H3C Highlights Enhanced Digital Solutions for Kazakhstan Enterprises

October 24, 2022 Published by Roboticulized.com

Themed “Together, For A Digital Future”, H3C held its digital tour event in Kazakhstan recently. At the event, H3C presented its innovative digital transformation strategies with its Scenario-based Digital Solutions and Application-Driven Networking Solution (AD-NET) for Kazakhstan enterprises inline with Kazakhstan’s digital transformation priorities highlighted by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev recently at the Digital Bridge Forum in Astana.

Addressing Kazakhstan’s initiatives in digital transformation, Chen Yanlin, General Manager of H3C Kazakhstan, mentioned, “H3C aims to assist global partners in achieving higher levels of digital transformation with its H3C scenario-based digital solutions and AD-NET, part of H3C services as a One-Stop Digital Solution. Our international market strategy is to focus on building the ecosystem, which will help accelerate the digital transformation as a whole from technology innovation, ecosystem health and scenario-based understanding.”

Kazakhstan Priorities For Digital Transformation

Kazakhstan has highlighted five priorities which includes the development of a human-centered approach, creation of favorable conditions for the ICT industry, modernization of IT infrastructure, development of the digital economy and Industry 4.0 and strengthening human capital. Kazakhstan introduces digital technologies and creates conditions for the transition of the economy to a fundamentally new vector of development – the digital economy of the future. In developing services for citizens, the government will take a human-centered approach where digital technologies provide equal opportunities for everyone.

Scenario-based Digital Solutions for Vertical Industries

H3C provides four scenario-based solutions, Synergy Working, Innovative Education, Efficient Healthcare, and Reliable Public Service. With digital technologies becoming increasingly profound, industrial digital transformation is gradually expanding from the smallest units to whole campuses. As campuses are also the spatial carriers of economic development, smart campuses need to take into account industry characteristics, digital intelligence, and carbon emission reduction requirements. To this end, many countries are calling for more intelligent, low-carbon and replicable campus-wide solutions.

In response to the demand, the H3C Green and Intelligent Campus Solution was introduced. The solution is made up of four layers — infrastructure, network transmission, a digital platform and smart applications. The Green and Intelligent Campus Solution can help customers build a zero-carbon operating system based on a digital platform, supplying the impetus for the implementation of a full-scale campus-wide digital transformation.

AD-NET Never Stops Evolving, Reinforcing the Foundations of Intelligent Connectivity

As an important component in the building of intelligent digital infrastructure, networks will play an even bigger role than in previous years. H3C AD-NET, an AI-oriented network solution, builds intelligent connectivity, uses SeerNetwork Architecture (SNA) to introduce closed loops and to integrate technologies such as AI and big data, thereby achieving intelligent management of the full lifecycle of networks from design to deployment and ultimately O & M. In real-world application scenarios such as campuses and data centers, this helps H3C’s customers achieve network convergence of multiple dimensions, scenarios, and domains, thus offering them a minimalist network experience.

H3C is committed to supporting more clients to accelerate digital transformation and boost business agility amid the rapidly changing market conditions. H3C has successfully certified over 1,000 overseas partners, established partnership with over 200 overseas service providers, and delivers services in 135 countries. Looking ahead, H3C, as one of the most trusted partners, will continue to follow the “Partners First” and “win-win-win” strategy to meet the digital demands in the industry.

During the ongoing 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), an official in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said at a press conference that judging from the current situation, China’s economy rebounded significantly in the third quarter, and from a global perspective, China’s economic performance is still remarkable. Although affected by changes in the domestic and external environment, there are still some outstanding contradictions and problems in the current economic operation. However, China has a population of more than 1.4 billion and coupled with basic conditions such as a complete industrial system and a comprehensive industrial chain, “China’s economic stabilization and improvement will be further consolidated.”

We have noticed that the assessments that some well-established international agencies made recently on China’s economy coincide with China’s own remarks. A well-known consulting agency said that most preliminary economic data indicated that China’s economy recovered in the third quarter. Experts from the Economist Intelligence Unit also believe that compared with the economic difficulties of various countries in the world, “China has some unique advantages at the moment,” which enables China’s economy to maintain positive growth even when faced with great internal and external pressure.

If we observe the Chinese economy from the perspective of quality development, we will see the ongoing evolution and the improvement of the Chinese economy. In recent years, although the growth rate of China’s economy has declined a bit compared with some periods in the past, its economic structure has been continuously optimized and its development momentum has been enhancing. In particular, the development speed of high-tech industries is equal to doubling the average development speed of the entire industry. Some major technological fields have made their ways to the global frontier, transformed by innovation-driven factors instead of the factors such as land, capital and labor in the past. At the same time, the energy consumption per unit of GDP has continued to decline. The sky is bluer, the mountains are greener, and the water is clearer. Although facing some temporary challenges and difficulties, China has enhanced its ability to overcome difficulties in its economy.

The report to the 20th CPC National Congress stressed that “To build a modern socialist country in all respects, we must, first and foremost, pursue high-quality development.” If the Chinese people are to live a better life and the Chinese nation is to realize its great rejuvenation, maintaining economic growth is of course very necessary. At the same time, the Chinese people have a broader and more comprehensive understanding of growth. And high-quality development is a new concept in which “innovation is the primary driver, coordination is an endogenous trait, eco-friendly growth prevails, openness to the world is the only way, and shared growth is the ultimate goal.” This is also China’s proactive pursuit of following the laws of economic development, adapting to changes in major social contradictions, and maintaining sustainable and sound economic development.

The giant ship of China has always pointed to a determined direction, never going off its course nor turning around. In the new era, the CPC, in accordance with the changes in reality at home and abroad, has taken precautions and foresight to extend and develop the experience summed up in the past decades, and then has established a new development concept and strategic plan, which is coherent and consistent with the past development direction.

Although China is already the second largest economy in the world, its per capita income is still far behind that of developed countries, which means greater economic growth space.

Implementing the spirit of the report to the 20th CPC National Congress, insisting that development is the “first priority” and high-quality development as the “primary task,” we have ample reasons to maintain confidence in the Chinese economy.

Clarivate Global Research Report Examines Role of Research Assessment with a Review of Six Regional Systems

October 22, 2022 Published by Roboticulized.com

Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT), a global leader in providing trusted information and insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, today released an in-depth look at formal regional research assessment, co-authored by the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate, together with esteemed industry partners: Kate Williams, University of Melbourne; Jonathan Grant, Different Angles; Lutz Bornmann, Max Planck Institute and Martin Szomszor, Electric Data Solutions.

Research assessment: origins, evolution, outcomes examines the origins of research assessment, and how it works in different regions via the approaches of Australia, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. It also considers the future of research assessment exercises and examines the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to replace traditional peer review.

Despite the differences in their approaches to research assessment, variation in their links to funding incentives and disparity in timing between similar systems, all the regions examined improved in comparative research performance, as measured by bibliometric performance. There is, however, no clear universal verdict on whether research assessment is a necessary or facilitating agent.

Jonathan Adams, Chief Scientist at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate explains: “Research assessment has had major effects on institutional structures. It has unquestionably had pervasive effects on researcher behavior: demonstrable in the U.K. and widely reported elsewhere. The most important feature of any assessment system should arguably be the extent to which it attracts and retains the confidence of the researchers.”

The Global Research Report, “Research assessment: origins, evolution, outcomes” finds that:

Australia has a comprehensive research assessment, seeking to measure both academic impact and wider societal benefit. Australian methodology distinguishes engagement from impact, in contrast to other research impact evaluations throughout the world such as the United Kingdom’s REF, but it does not influence direct research funding and may be unconnected to citation-indexed research performance. (Kate Williams, University of Melbourne).
Canada has a long history and culture of integrating knowledge mobilization and evaluation across the research life cycle and focuses on “knowledge mobilization” in specific research areas rather than assessing general research outcomes. (Jonathan Grant, Different Angles).
Germany has promoted its research status using ‘Excellence Initiative’ block funding to research organizations without regular nationwide evaluations. (Lutz Bornmann, Max Planck Institute).
While Hong Kong’s research assessment system is similar to the U.K. model, it draws on a distinctive conception of scholarship and on socio-economic benefit as well as excellence.
The introduction of New Zealand’s Performance-Based Research Fund can be associated with a marked improvement in its internationally comparative research performance.
The United Kingdom set the first model for regular research assessment, which has had pervasive effects on institutional management and on researcher behavior.

There have always been demands for technical solutions to reduce perceived assessment bureaucracy and the report acknowledges that Artificial Intelligence has a profound impact on research but machine learning solutions to assessment burdens may propagate existing biases. Models of assessment outcomes reveal that apparently important predictors may link to factors unrelated to research impact.

Martin Szomszor, Founder Electric Data Solutions: “What this debate has made clear is that both the research system and the data we collect about it capture many forms of prejudice relating to gender, ethnicity, nationality, sexuality, age and more. Without proper consideration of these, machine learning solutions will only propagate these existing biases. This is a problem that is already familiar to those who make use of bibliometric indicators and an issue that has been at the forefront of the responsible metrics agenda.”

Jonathan Adams concludes, “Our report demonstrates there are many challenges, common to many regions. Research is a very long game, so assessment stability has great merit and, whatever the criticisms, the RAE/REF remains much as it did thirty years ago, with impact case studies added on.”
