Josh Tsui, PDG de Floship, s’apprête à prononcer un discours sur les aspirations des dirigeants concernant l’avenir de la technologie logistique et recevoir un prix lors du The Lead Innovation Summit à New York

M. Tsui évoquera les ambitions futures de la société ainsi que sa feuille de route stratégique, notamment la circularité des chaînes d’approvisionnement et les capacités d’IA du portail

NEW YORK et HONG KONG, 05 juill. 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Floship, prestataire leader des solutions de chaînes d’approvisionnement circulaires mondiales, a annoncé aujourd’hui sa participation à The Lead Innovation Summit, une conférence stratégique de premier plan pour les décisionnaires mondiaux et les dirigeants des secteurs de la vente au détail et de la consommation d’aujourd’hui. La conférence aura lieu dans la ville de New York les 12 et 13 juillet.

Le PDG de Floship, Josh Tsui, fera un discours sur les aspirations le mercredi 12 juillet pendant les questions-réponses de la session « Optimisation des opportunités du commerce numérique » de Dawit Heck, de Bain Capital Ventures. M. Tsui partagera des informations sur Floship, sur sa vision stratégique, ainsi que sur les ambitions transformationnelles de la société, notamment ses réflexions sur l’avenir de l’intelligence artificielle générative dans l’e-commerce, avec un public de plus de 2 000 dirigeants de grandes marques mondiales de distribution.

Dans le cadre de ce discours, M. Tsui fournira des informations sur l’écosystème des chaînes d’approvisionnement circulaires globales de Floship, illustrant la façon dont il relie chaque élément de base à travers la chaîne de valeur du fabricant, les systèmes d’entrepôt, les mécanismes de livraison et les solutions de retours via une plateforme entièrement intégrée.

De même, pendant The Summit, Floship fera partie des sociétés reconnues sur la Leading 100 List de The Lead lors d’une cérémonie de remise de prix, mettant à l’honneur des startups technologiques innovantes qui façonnent l’avenir des entreprises brand-to-consumer, surtout concernant l’aide apportée à ces entreprises dans l’adoption des chaînes d’approvisionnement circulaires.

« C’est un moment extrêmement palpitant pour Floship, et je suis honoré de la reconnaissance portée à nos innovations sources de bouleversements concernant le modèle business-to-consumer. La circularité de la chaîne d’approvisionnement et l’IA générative sont des domaines prioritaires de la chaîne d’approvisionnement extrêmement importants pour les commerçants car ils travaillent main dans la main afin de minimiser l’utilisation de matières premières, réduire les quantités excessives de déchets mis au rebut et automatiser les nombreux processus manuels intensifs », a déclaré M. Tsui. « Nous croyons que The Lead Innovation Summit fournit la toile de fond nécessaire pour continuer à raconter cette histoire à un public conscient de la nécessité de construire des chaînes d’approvisionnement plus durables et plus intelligentes, en tirant parti de technologies qui permettent aux consommateurs, aux entreprises et à l’économie d’être plus efficaces avec moins de ressources. »

Les chaînes d’approvisionnement circulaires impliquent que la société réutilise ou revalorise les déchets et les retours des clients pour convertir ces ressources en produits nouveaux ou reconditionnés. Cette stratégie est essentielle pour développer des partenariats mondiaux. Floship a récemment annoncé ce genre de partenariat avec FedEx, conçu pour fournir de meilleurs services d’exécution et de logistique aux détaillants de l’e-commerce dans le monde entier. Ce partenariat permet aux clients de FedEx opérant dans l’e-commerce d’accéder au réseau mondial d’entrepôts de Floship et aux puissantes capacités de sa plateforme logistique afin de rationaliser leurs opérations d’exécution du commerce en ligne. Dans le même temps, les clients de Floship seront en mesure de tirer parti des réseaux FedEx mondiaux ainsi que de toute une gamme d’options de transport FedEx étendues afin d’optimiser leurs opérations.

The Lead Innovation Summit est l’endroit vers lequel convergent plus de 2 000 leaders des communautés de la mode, de la beauté, de l’habitat, de la consommation et de la vente au détail afin d’apprendre des marques à grande échelle, des natifs du numérique et des catalyseurs de la technologie et d’entrer en contact avec eux. Ce sommet de deux jours rassemble plus de 140 conférenciers remarquables et comprend 45 sessions de contenu ; il analyse chaque aspect de l’activité direct-to-consumer d’une marque, en ligne et hors ligne.

Floship CEO, Josh Tsui

NEW YORK and HONG KONG, July 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Floship, a leading global circular supply chain solutions provider, today announced its participation in The Lead Innovation Summit, a leading strategy conference for global decision-makers and executives in today’s retail and consumer industries.

“It is an extremely exciting time here at Floship, and I’m honored that we’re being acknowledged for our disruptive innovations toward the business-to-consumer model. Supply chain circularity and generative AI are extremely important supply chain focus areas for merchants as they work hand-in-hand to minimize the use of raw materials, reduce excessive amounts of discarded waste materials, and automate many manually intensive processes,” said Tsui. “We believe the Lead Innovation Summit provides the necessary backdrop to continue to tell this story to an audience who are cognizant of the need to build more sustainable and intelligent supply chains by leveraging technologies that empower consumers, businesses, and the economy to be more efficient with a leaner amount of resources.”

Circular supply chains involve a company reusing or repurposing waste and customer returns to convert those resources into new or refurbished products, and this strategy is critical in building global partnerships. Floship recently announced one such partnership with FedEx that is designed to provide enhanced fulfillment and logistics services to e-tailers worldwide. The partnership gives FedEx’s e-commerce customers access to Floship’s global network of warehouses and powerful logistics platform’s capabilities to streamline their e-commerce fulfillment operations. At the same time, Floship’s customers will be able to leverage FedEx global networks as well as a full range of FedEx extensive transportation options to optimize their operations.

Josh Tsui, CEO da Floship, Fará Palestra de Visão Executiva Sobre o Futuro da Tecnologia Logística e Receberá Prêmio no Lead Innovation Summit de Nova York

Tsui falará sobre as ambições futuras e o roteiro estratégico da empresa, incluindo a circularidade da cadeia de suprimentos e os recursos de IA do portal

NOVA YORK e HONG KONG, July 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A Floship, fornecedora líder global de soluções de cadeia de suprimentos circular, anunciou hoje a sua participação no The Lead Innovation Summit, uma conferência líder estratégica para decisores e executivos globais das indústrias de varejo e para consumidor. A conferência será realizada em Nova York entre 12 e 13 de julho.

Josh Tsui, CEO da Floship, apresentará sua Vision Talk na quarta-feira, 12 de julho, durante a sessão “Optimizing Digital Commerce Opportunity”, respondendo às perguntas de Dawit Heck, da Bain Capital Ventures. Tsui compartilhará informações e visão estratégica da Floship, bem como a ambição transformacional da empresa e sua opinião sobre o futuro da IA generativa no comércio eletrônico com uma audiência de mais de 2.000 executivos de grandes varejistas de marcas globais.

Como parte da sua palestra, Tsui falará sobre o ecossistema holístico da cadeia de suprimentos circular da Floship, ilustrando como ele conecta todos os componentes principais da cadeia de valor do fabricante, sistemas de armazenamento, mecanismos de entrega e soluções de devolução por meio de uma plataforma totalmente integrada.

Durante o The Summit, a Floship será uma das empresas reconhecidas da Lista Leading 100 da The Lead, em uma cerimônia de premiação que homenageia startups de tecnologia inovadoras que estão impulsionando o futuro das empresas de marca para consumidor, especialmente ajudando essas empresas a adotar cadeias de suprimentos circulares.

“É um momento extremamente emocionante para Floship, e me sinto honrado por estarmos sendo reconhecidos por nossas inovações disruptivas em relação ao modelo business-to-consumer. A circularidade da cadeia de suprimentos e a IA geradora são áreas de foco da cadeia de suprimentos extremamente importantes para os comerciantes, pois trabalham lado a lado para minimizar o uso de matérias-primas, reduzir quantidades excessivas de resíduos descartados e automatizar muitos processos intensivos manualmente”, disse Tsui. “Acreditamos que o Lead Innovation Summit serve como o pano de fundo necessário para que possamos continuar contando essa história para um público que reconhece a necessidade de construir cadeias de suprimentos mais sustentáveis e inteligentes, aproveitando tecnologias que capacitam consumidores, empresas e a economia a serem mais eficientes com uma quantidade menor de recursos.”

As cadeias de suprimentos circulares envolvem uma empresa que reutiliza ou reaproveita resíduos e devoluções de clientes para converter esses recursos em produtos novos ou recondicionados, e essa estratégia é fundamental para a criação de parcerias globais. A Floship anunciou recentemente uma parceria assim com a FedEx que foi projetada para fornecer serviços aprimorados de atendimento e logística para varejistas eletrônicos em todo o mundo.

Over 900,000 South African have already left so where are they going? Could Dominica be the answer?

Roseau, July 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — South Africa has been in the news for all the wrong reasons in the past few months, with ongoing rolling blackouts hampering business, soaring interest rates and most recently the prospect of the country being isolated by international partners due to its ties with Russia.

Many South Africans are now actively looking outside their border for better personal and business prospects. South Africans are demanding more and better from their government – over 900,000 South Africans have already left the country according to the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs’ 2020 International Migrant Stock report in 2022. The UN report, said by the end of 2020, 914,901 South Africans were living in other countries and territories, up from 786,554 in 2015.

With countries around the world increasing their global competitiveness, many nations are offering investors lucrative benefits that attract the best talent and brightest businesses to their shores.

One such nation is the Commonwealth of Dominica – an island nation that is one of the safest countries in the world according to the 2023 World Citizenship Report.

Dominica has been attracting global citizens for nearly three decades through its Citizenship by Investment Programme – a process that allows an investor to obtain a second or alternative citizenship by investing in the country’s economy.

By contributing to either the Economic Diversification Fund or investing in Real Estate, South Africans should know that they will have access to a stable economy, a currency pegged against the US dollar and greater mobility to access the best hospitals, business hubs and education facilities.

Economic Diversification Fund 

The Economic Diversification Fund financially supports socio-economic initiatives to develop Dominica’s economy. These include construction and infrastructure developments, agriculture, information technology and tourism. There are currently multiple initiatives that are from the private and public sectors that focus on the economic development of Dominica. An example of these can be seen with the latest developments of the new international airport.

Prime Minister of Dominica, Honourable Roosevelt Skerrit shared with the public that “Significant work has been done, we discussed with the developers and contractors to advance the work to have a shorter period of time to complete the construction. The discussions are being held, and a strategy is being placed forward to advance the work.” The progress has created hope for the government and the citizens of Dominica.

Another example is the construction of the world’s longest cable car that will transport passengers from Roseau Valley through the tropical rainforest to the world’s second-largest Boiling Lake, creating new experiences for tourists and visitors to view the Nature Island of the Caribbean from the sky.

These are some examples that have guaranteed Dominica’s local citizens to be employed during the projects and create permanent employment once the projects are fully operational.

The minimum contributions for applications are as follows:

  • US$100,000 (ZAR1,800,000) for the main applicant;
  • US$150,000 (ZAR2,700,000) for the main applicant and spouse;
  • US$175,000 (ZAR3,200,000) for the main applicant and up to three dependants;
  • US$50,000 (ZAR910,000) for any additional dependant 18 years of age or older.

There are instances whereby additional fees will apply that depend on the applicant’s primary citizenship and personal circumstances.

Real Estate 

Real estate investment option starts from US$200,000 (ZAR3,600,000) for government-approved properties that offer South African investors the opportunity to invest in selective properties available in breathtaking locations around Dominica.

There are additional government fees applicable per application that consist of the following:

  • US$25,000 (ZAR450,000) for the main applicant;
  • US$35,000 (ZAR600,000) for the main applicant and up to three dependants;
  • US$50,000 (ZAR910,000) for the main applicant and up to five dependants;
  • US$25,000 (ZAR450,000) for any additional dependants.

The award-winning The Residences at Secret Bay are one of the luxurious properties that South African Investors can leisure in the benefits of a beautiful eco-friendly property that offers excellent returns on investments.

The Due diligence fees in the Economic Diversification Fund and Real Estate investment options, per application, are:

  • US7,500 (ZAR137,000) for the main applicant;
  • US$4,000 (ZAR73,000) for the spouse;
  • US$4,000 (ZAR73,000) for any dependants 16 years of age or above.

Mombasa Governor Pledges To Revamp Mtopanga Health Center

The Mombasa Governor has promised to revamp the Mtopanga Health Center, an outreach facility of the Coast General Teaching and Referral Hospital, to operate 24 hours a day. ‘We will put up a perimeter wall, procure a backup generator, and hire more medical officers so that the facility can operate 24 hours a day. We will reduce congestion at the Coast General Hospital,’ said Governor Abdulswamad Nassir during a medical camp in Mtopanga to select beneficiaries of NHIF family cover under the Mombasa Care programme. The County Government had rolled out medical camps in all 30 wards at health facilities to select 15,000 beneficiaries of NHIF covers. The Governor said the hospital bed capacity, which stands at 35, will be increased if residents make maximum use of the already existing capacity. In a bid to empower 2387 Community Health Promoters (CHPs) who are receiving monthly stipends from the County coffers, the Governor said those who are qualified will be enrolled in medical schools to be trained as nurses. The area MCA Matsaki Morgan had earlier requested the governor to expand the health facility since it has a large catchment area. ‘We would like in the next financial year to have a theatre, a perimeter wall for security, and a backup generator because the hospital drugs expire in the fridge due to lack of a generator,’ said the MCA. ‘When the hospital was unveiled by former Governor Joho, an ambulance was also brought; we want a permanent ambulance for this hospital,’ he added. Kisauni MP Rashid Bedzimba urged the hospital management to foster a good relationship with the community. Bedzimba also urged the county government to repair all non-functioning street lights and install new ones to curb crime in Mtopanga. Mtopanga ward, Bedzimba said, is populous, and more youth from the ward should be recruited in the Mombasa ni Yangu Programme. The programme has been hailed for reducing the crime rate in Mombasa as the youth are engaged in environmental conservation and receive monthly stipends. County Assembly Speaker Aharub Khatri urged youth and women to form groups for them to benefit from a revolving fund that will be created following the adoption of the 14.7 billion County budget by the assembly.

Plans To Give Unclaimed Assets To Rightful Owners

The Unclaimed Financial Assets Authority (UFAA) is working towards increasing the amount of unclaimed assets being reunified with their owners in efforts to inject liquidity into the economy and drive economic growth. UFAA chairman Kigo Njenga said that their major goal is to increase reunification of people and their lost and found assets. Currently, the authority holds a total portfolio of Sh. 57 billion, with Sh. 27 billion in cash and around Sh. 30 billion in shares and other assets. ‘What we are currently holding is Sh. 27 billion in cash and cash equivalents, and this has grown from Sh. 500 million within the last five years. The dream that we have is to grow this to the baseline survey of Sh. 241 billion, which we will endeavor to reunite with the rightful owners,’ said Njenga. Speaking on Wednesday during the National Holder’s Conference, Njenga said that the Kenya Kwanza government has the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), which requires financing, and the easiest way to finance it is to hasten the reunification of people and their lost or abandoned assets. ‘To do so, we are appealing to the National Assembly and the government to hasten the process of amending the laws and regulations to give claimants an easier way to get their assets, and this will increase the amount of money released to the mainstream economy for development,’ said Njenga. He explained that if they get a law which allows them to pay e-claims that are verified, people who are owed small amounts of money, who are the majority, will get paid, and this will inject cash flow into the economy. ‘We have started a national-wide sensitization campaign, and we are working with the media, religious organizations, and other social amenities to tell Kenyans that we are holding their money and encouraging them to come for it,’ said Njenga. Njenga said that to date they have reunified assets worth Sh. 2 billion with their rightful owners, and they intend to increase it tenfold. ‘Because it is not easy even globally to reunify people with their lost and found assets, we are going to continually invest these assets in efforts to safeguard them, with some of the investments being in government bonds and Treasury bills,’ Njenga explained. He added that they are also looking at investing the funds into social bonds that will hasten the Kenya Kwanza BETA programmes like housing, where they have studied developed economies like the USA and discovered that they use unclaimed assets to enhance education and the transformation of societies. Njenga called on the organizations holding unclaimed assets, including abandoned wages, abandoned court fines, and other securities like title deeds, abandoned tuition money, and caution money, to hand them over to the organization as stipulated by law. UFAA CEO John Mwangi called on the holders of unclaimed assets to identify the assets, reunify them with their owners, and where reunification is not possible, remit them to the authority with the required information to help them trace the owners. Mwangi said that in the past one year they have received a total of Sh.4 billion from various institutions, which is the highest receipt they have had since they began operations, and this was necessitated by an amnesty giving holders an exemption from penalties if they comply. He highlighted that the least amount they have paid is Sh. 17, and the highest amount paid is Sh. 85 million. ‘We are encouraging members of the public to visit our searchable database through the USSD code *361# or visit our website at www.ufaa.go.ke to find out if any unclaimed assets have been remitted under their name or someone they know,’ explained Mwangi.
