Africa Alliance – September 2021

Overcoming challenges and competing successfully in the African marketplace are as important for today as for tomorrow. Africa can be described as a multilingual, multicultural, multi-ethnic and multiracial continent with over 55 countries, and deciding to make an investment in it can be challenging yet rewarding.

Doing business in Africa is exciting because it combines the science and art of business with many other disciplines, such as economics, anthropology, ‘geography, history, language, jurisprudence, statistics and demography. The primary types of business that external players can undertake in Africa are export-import trade and foreign direct investment (FDI). The business sector investment drivers include agriculture, energy, health, education, finance and environment, and advocate for greater diversity and inclusion in decision making for Africa to grow and thrive.

IOT Alliance – July 2021

Why the Internet of Things s so important? When something s connected to the Internet it means that this object can exchange data and information, or it can be remotely controlled.

The 10T has the power to transform every object in a “Smart Object”.

Therefore, an loT ecosystem consists of a set of smart objects connected to the Internet that, using microprocessors, sensors, protocols and transmission technologies, collects, sends and operates on the data acquired from their environments. Data are sent to the cloud for analysis or otherwise analyzed locally through an edge structure. loT devices can also communicate with each other. Human intervention i not necessary, and loT devices can work independently; human intervention will ~be required to manage configurations, give instructions and access data.

Mobility Alliance – September 2021

We consider mobility a fundamental human right because it is essential for people to come together as social beings. However, we have reached a point where we should no longer ignore the negative effects of current mobility. It s _therefore recommended that we rethink future mobility from a holistic perspective in order to achieve a basis for understanding both causes and effects and to be able to derive appropriate conclusions for the Necessary transformation.

The philosopher Hans Jonas formulated a premise for this new way of thinking more than 40 years again his book “The Imperative of Responsibility”: *Act so that the effects of your action are compatible with the permanence of genuine human life.”

2021 – Finance Alliance

It is an important moment for Europe and the whole world as we start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Vaccination campaigns have accelerated throughout Europe and businesses Start to show modest signs of recovery. However, we must be cautious.

Europe made significant efforts in 2020, but we need to think big and do even more. The private sector should implement the necessary measures to allow us to take European companies to a higher level. It should not only be about recovery from the Covid crisis but also about setting the foundation of a robust European business structure so that we can compete with our US and Chinese peers. We have identified a few areas where the private sector could lead by example:

For businesses that are still struggling and are in risk of insolvency or similar, we are very much in favor of a more flexible approach from European financial institutions Lo extend their lifeline f there are clear viability studies to back such financial support.
