Sant’Agata Bolognese, March 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Automobili Lamborghini has nearly reached the end of “The Epic Road Trip”, an 8-month journey that culminates in a momentous milestone: the legendary brand’s 60th anniversary.

Developed in partnership with INVNT.ATOM™  and Web3 Pro, The Epic Road Trip invites owners and enthusiasts to collect the ultimate set of digital memorabilia to unlock utilities and experiences – including the opportunity to be one of the first to preview the latest Lamborghini model before it’s released to the public.

  • Centro Stile sketch from Mitja Borkert, Head of Design
  • GLB file for Lamborghini consumers to experience in the metaverse
  • An intimate VIP tour of the Lamborghini Sant’Agata headquarters

As the 60th anniversary approaches, Lamborghini will leverage this opportunity to bring together in celebration both Lamborghini customers and “The Epic Road Trip” asset holders. “Lamborghini’s commitment to innovation extends beyond our super sports cars and into all aspects of our business – specially as we reach younger generations,” says Christian Mastro Marketing Director of Automobili Lamborghini. “The Epic Road Trip is the latest example of our unconventional approach which has powered us for six decades. As we celebrate 60 years of forward looking attitude, we want to reward customers and fans of the past, present, and future for their loyalty — giving them the chance to get further involvement and connection with the Brand.”

Lamborghini will commemorate the milestone with a 60th-anniversary digital collectible. Those visiting Lamborghini dealerships or attending IRL anniversary celebrations can scan a QR code to claim. At the same time, the commemorative collectible will be airdropped to “The Epic Road Trip” collectors who have purchased 2 or more NFTs across Drops 1 through 8.

In addition, all holders of the commemorative NFT will receive token-gated access to an exclusive, AMA-style session with senior Lamborghini executives discussing Lamborghini’s past, present, and future.

The final drop of “The Epic Road Trip” begins March 20th – 23rd, with the last opportunity for collectors to reach the finish line at Lamborghini NFT Marketplace.

Africa-based SME Accelerator Programme Drives Opportunity for Dubai investors with Second Annual Pitch Event

The MultiChoice Africa Accelerator event, staged by African entertainment company MultiChoice Group in partnership with Dubai-based accelerator C3, will see 11 finalists from across Africa pitch for international funding

Dubai, March 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading African entertainment company MultiChoice Group will today host Middle East and other Global investors at a pitch event for finalists chosen in their MultiChoice Africa Accelerator Programme.

Held in collaboration with technical partner EOH, Galelo Africa and UAE-based social enterprise Companies Creating Change (C3), the programme aims to support the growth and development of SMEs from across the African continent.

While the inaugural event, held at Expo 2020 in January 2022, included only start-ups from South Africa, this year’s iteration has opened up to organisations from more African countries, with finalists from Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria, Angola, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Zambia and Ethiopia, along with South Africa. From a base of 29 businesses across 9 African countries, trained by the Accelerator programme in key entrepreneurial skills, 11 have been selected as finalists.  They include:

  • Gradesmatch (South Africa) – helping students and their families transition from education to economic opportunity
  • Botlhale AI (South Africa) – building natural language processing (NLP) tools for African languages
  • Zuri Health (Kenya) – providing affordable and accessible healthcare services to patients across Sub-Saharan Africa via mobile app, website, WhatsApp bot and SMS service
  • Dojah Inc (Nigeria) – end-to-end identity verification and compliance framework to strengthen confidence, credibility, and compliance across digital businesses
  • Crop2Cash (Nigeria) – digital financial service that allows smallholder farmers anywhere in Nigeria to open a bank account on their feature phones in under two minutes, with no internet required
  • Tendo (Ghana) – social commerce platform that enables anyone to sell online with zero capital
  • StarNews Mobile (Ivory Coast) – pan-African media-tech company whose mission is to give financial freedom to African creators from the distribution and monetisation of their digital content globally
  • MaTontine (Senegal) – digitise traditional, African savings groups in order to provide access to financial services for financially excluded women in Africa
  • Taskmoby (Ethiopia) – first digital marketplace in Ethiopia that connects customers with qualified home services providers (e.g. plumbers, cleaners, electricians), leveraging a mobile application, SMS/USSD solutions and a dedicated call centre
  • Mighty Finance Solution Ltd (Zambia) – providing MSMEs in emerging markets with seamless credit and financial solutions using artificial intelligence
  • Tupuca (Angola) – on-demand quick-commerce platform and logistical aggregator of uber-like drivers that allows users to order from multiple vendors and service providers ranging from restaurants, grocery stores, small retailers and courier services

Following the initial training, the 11 finalist start-ups attended a dedicated boot camp in Lusaka, Zambia, to learn more about how to shape their story for international investors, and to get “pitch ready” before their big presentations.

The programme ­­­­forms part of the MultiChoice Innovation Fund, aiming to connect companies with global investors to unlock business opportunities that will enrich their lives, the communities in which they function and the economy at large.

At a time when unemployment challenges and economic instability are high, small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are proving to be the engines of economic growth and job creation throughout the African continent.

The MultiChoice Africa Accelerator Programme specifically targets start-ups and small businesses in the technology sectors of health tech, agritech, fintech, edutech, the circular economy, and creative industries.

Global investors participating on a panel today represent some of the UAE’s leading investors and venture-capital firms including Middle East Venture Partners and WAMDA Capital.

“We were delighted to be able to connect our 2022 finalists with investors in Dubai to unlock $16m worth of funding at Expo 2020,” says Fhulufhelo Badugela, MultiChoice Africa CEO.

“Our vision is to build on the impact that this new cohort of SMEs make in their home markets and multiply it beyond what our start-up founders ever believed possible. I have no doubt these small businesses will be able to take everything they’ve learned so far to unlock transformative business funding.”

The event will be facilitated by C3 – a UAE-based social enterprise with a footprint in 17 countries across the Middle East and Africa.

C3 Managing Director Kevin Holliday commented, “The UAE has long held trade and business connections with the African continent, supported by the leadership of the country. There are so many innovative and inspiring start-ups coming out of Africa that really contribute to both grassroots communities and the economy at large.  The Multichoice Africa Accelerator recognises this and it’s something we’re really happy to be able to support.”

Stadtwerke Kiel and INNIO Set Global Standards for Climate Neutral Energy Supply by 2035

  • Stadtwerke Kiel and INNIO plan to achieve climate neutrality at the coastal power plant in Kiel by 2035. • As the world’s first 190 MW large-scale engine-based combined heat and power plant, the coastal power plant is planned to be converted to hydrogen operations. • 20 Jenbacher engines are to be converted to run on green hydrogen.

KIEL, GERMANY / ACCESSWIRE / March 8, 2023 / Stadtwerke Kiel and INNIO are working on the conversion of the coastal power plant in Kiel that will allow the facility to operate on 100% green hydrogen (H2) by 2035, ten years ahead of the German government’s climate targets. With this, Europe’s most advanced large-scale engine-based combined heat and power plant is setting new global standards for climate-neutral energy supply. An important requirement for keeping to the ambitious schedule is that sufficient green hydrogen is available in time and on economic terms. Today, both companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the project.

“We need flexible backup power plants so that Kiel and Germany can be securely supplied with power – especially when the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine. There is no getting around this basic law of physics,” asserts Dr. Jörg Teupen, Board Member for Technology and Personnel at Stadtwerke Kiel AG. “In order to achieve climate neutrality for this type of power plant operation, hydrogen must be readily available to us. However, this is dependent on Europe having an abundance of hydrogen available over the coming years,” continues Teupen.

The two companies’ joint ambition is founded upon the “Eight-Point Program: Route to Climate Neutrality” established by Stadtwerke Kiel AG, the energy supplier pushing ahead with the energy transition with this program. With the original aim to be fully climate neutral in the generation of power and district heating by 2040 at the latest, the energy supplier has now brought this date forward by five years to 2035 based on its hydrogen project.

“We are setting new global standards in collaboration with Stadtwerke Kiel. The coastal power plant in Kiel is the first of its kind globally whose technology could theoretically be converted to green hydrogen today. Nevertheless, for the conversion to happen no later than 2035, policymakers need to put the correct framework in place right now,” says Dr. Olaf Berlien, president and CEO of INNIO.

The Stadtwerke Kiel coastal power plant supplies more than 73,500 homes with eco-friendly district heating and also generates electricity for the region. In doing so, the highly flexible large-scale engine-based combined heat and power plant ensures there is a secure and environmentally friendly supply of energy. INNIO’s Jenbacher engines are the first hydrogen engines at megawatt scale. The company, based in Tyrol, Austria, is among the first to be able to convert the majority of its installed engines to run on green hydrogen. The conversion of Jenbacher engines from natural gas to green hydrogen will result in the advanced, flexible coastal power plant becoming entirely climate neutral by 2035.

His Excellency Khalifa Shaheen Al Marar heads UAE delegation to 159th session of Arab League Council of Ministers

His Excellency Khalifa Shaheen Al Marar, Minister of State, headed the UAE delegation to the 159th Ordinary Session of the Arab League Council of Ministers held at the Arab League headquarters on Wednesday.

On the sidelines of the meeting, His Excellency attended the meeting of the Arab Ministerial Quartet Committee, chaired by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which manages follow-up on developments concerning Iran.

His Excellency also attended the Arab Ministerial Committee meeting regarding follow-up on Türkiye and is chaired by the Arab Republic of Egypt.

His Excellency attended the Arab Ministerial Committee meeting dealing with measures to end Israeli provocations in the occupied city of Jerusalem, chaired by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and attended by the UAE as an Arab member of the UN Security Council.

His Excellency Khalifa Shaheen Al Marar, in his address to the Arab League Council, expressed the UAE’s solidarity with the Syrian Arab Republic and the Republic of Türkiye, extending his sincere condolences and sympathy for the victims of the devastating earthquakes that recently struck the two countries.

His Excellency reiterated the UAE’s stance alongside the two countries in the face of this tragedy.

His Excellency underscored the UAE’s humanitarian duty in immediately responding to the disaster, noting that the country continues to do so following the launch of the “Gallant Knight / 2″ Operation in which the UAE established an air bridge to deliver search and rescue teams, relief supplies, shelter items, medicines, treatments, and field hospitals.

By March 5, the operation sent 210 flights, in addition to 12 aircraft from the International Humanitarian City in Dubai, including 145 aircraft to Syria. His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE President, allocated USD 150 million to assist those affected, including USD 100 million for Syria. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, donated AED 50 million.

The UAE also launched the “Bridges of Good” campaign to collect monetary and in-kind donations. This campaign has so far collected AED 180 million, of which AED 50 million came from Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union, President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation, and this campaign is ongoing to provide Syria with four planes carrying assistance daily by air and sea.

His Excellency said, “We must praise the solidarity of Arab countries with the Syrian people, which affirms Syria belongs in the Arab fold, and there is no alternative except for Arabs to embrace Syria and allow it to recover. We underscore the importance of maintaining this momentum of Arab solidarity and interest in the cause of the Syrian people in order to realize their aspirations, thereby leading to the return of Syria to the Arab fold.”

His Excellency stressed “the importance of building upon Arab solidarity with Syria following the earthquake and taking this opportunity to agree on an effective and determined Arab role to seriously contribute to the political settlement of the Syrian crisis and reject regional interference in Syria.”

Moreover, His Excellency stated: “We have seen a disturbing escalation in the Palestinian territories, which threatens to undermine the two-state solution and block the peace process to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict.

While we were optimistic about the outcomes of the Aqaba meeting on 26 February 2023, the situation was once again pushed towards escalation and violence that threaten to spiral the situation out of control, prompting us to once again address the United Nations Security Council in a closed session with the aim of returning to normalcy.”

“The path of calm, de-escalation, and combating extremism must prevail. We succeeded on 21 February 2023 in issuing a unanimous Security Council statement condemning the construction and expansion of Israeli settlements, which would affect prospects for a two-state solution in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The statement stresses the importance of creating a political environment that brings the parties back to the negotiating table. This statement is the first in the Security Council in favor of Palestinian in six years.”

His Excellency stressed: “The UAE supports all regional and international efforts to advance the Middle East Peace Process based on the two-state solution, leading to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 4 June 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital in accordance with international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.”

The UAE expressed its appreciation for the role of Arab countries and the creation of an appropriate environment that will allow a return to serious negotiations leading to a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace.

The UAE also commended the Arab Republic of Egypt and Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in this regard.

His Excellency added: “The international geopolitical scene has not changed significantly since the 158th session began in March 2022. Rather, the state of polarization and division in the international system has intensified. Therefore, it is necessary to reiterate that the UAE expresses its concern over the impact of this situation on peace, security, and stability.

Regionally and internationally, we believe it is necessary to reaffirm our conviction in the importance of respecting the principles and rules of international law, the United Nations Charter, multilateral action, settling international disputes through peaceful means, respect for the sovereignty and independence of states, and non-interference in their internal affairs.

We also firmly believe that diplomacy remains the only effective way to resolve crises and note that dialogue and negotiations are an indispensable tool for resolving existing conflicts regionally and internationally.”

His Excellency also underscored that “the state of insecurity and the rise of tensions in the international arena multiply the unprecedented challenges facing Arab countries, requiring us to intensify cooperation; accelerate Arab coordination, cooperation, and joint action; and expediently resolve regional crises to restore optimism and hope.

Arab peoples should be offered a better future by focusing on efforts to promote peace, stability, development, and prosperity.”

His Excellency Al Marar noted: “This was the goal of the consultative summit of heads of state and government held in Abu Dhabi on 18 January 2023 to discuss ways to address the challenges facing the region.

A number of challenges lie ahead, including recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, global food insecurity and its impact on Arab countries, climate change and water scarcity, security and stability, and combating extremism and terrorism, all of which require serious joint Arab action and smart, rational, and innovative solutions.”

On climate change, His Excellency praised the success of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27), hosted by the Arab Republic of Egypt last November.

His Excellency Al Marar said in this regard: “We are looking forward to the next Conference of the Parties (COP28), which my country will host in November 2023 at Expo City Dubai. The UAE has begun preparing, including through the announcement by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE President, that 2023 is the Year of Sustainability.

This is based on our belief in the importance of international cooperation and inclusion of all in climate action. We are counting on our ability to build consensus to turn words and pledges into action, and we are working to make COP28 an inclusive conference for all stakeholders.

The interest of governments, the private sector, youth, and civil society organizations is to realize the international agenda for climate action and energy transition and to make concrete progress in various areas.”

His Excellency added: “The UAE is committed to achieving climate neutrality by 2050 through an ambitious national strategy, developing regional and international partnerships, and building bridges of international cooperation based on the UAE leadership’s vision of climate action as an opportunity to diversify the economy in various sectors.

We look forward to the participation and contributions of Arab countries to make COP28 a success as we work to serve the future stability and prosperity of the region and address existing climate and environmental challenges.

With regards to current challenges in the Arab world, His Excellency Khalifa Shaheen Al Marar stressed that “it is necessary to make progress in strengthening the Arab role in resolving Arab political crises, enhancing inter-Arab relations, bolstering bridges of communication and joint action, and restoring rules-based Arab security and solidarity in the face of regional crises and international geopolitical uncertainties.”

The UAE expressed its “hope to overcome the conditions that the region is facing so that Arab peoples can enjoy security, stability, and a high standard of living.”

His Excellency Al Marar continued, “We in the UAE focus on building bridges of communication and identifying political and diplomatic solutions to disputes between countries.

We once again urge Iran to respond to our repeated calls for a peaceful resolution to the issue of the three occupied Emirati islands—Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa—through direct negotiations or recourse through the International Court of Justice.”

On the situation in Yemen, His Excellency said, “We reiterate our support for the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council and the central role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in leading the Arab Coalition to achieve a political process in Yemen and resolve the crisis in the interest of the Yemeni people.”

He also reiterated the UAE’s support for the United Nations and its Special Envoy to Yemen, as well as other efforts aimed at agreeing upon a lasting ceasefire and the establishment of serious dialogue to achieve a sustainable political solution to the Yemeni crisis.

He added, “We express our concern over the intransigence of the Houthi militias and their continued attacks on civilian and oil facilities, as well as threats to international shipping lanes.

We stress the importance of applying pressure on the Houthis, holding them accountable for exacerbating the humanitarian and economic crises in Yemen, and urging them to agree to peace and end the suffering of the Yemeni people.”

On Libya, His Excellency stressed that all Libyan parties must call for restraint and dialogue and prioritize the national interest to restore security and stability.

He also reiterated the UAE’s position on resolving the conflict in Libya through a political process led by Libyans and noted the UAE’s support for the UN Special Envoy to Libya and international efforts to achieve security and stability in Libya to fulfil the aspirations of the Libyan people for development, stability, and prosperity.

On the situation in Iraq, His Excellency stated: “The UAE reaffirms its support and solidarity with Iraq in addressing the challenges facing the country, hopes for a stable and prosperous Iraq, and supports all efforts that lead to its security, stability, territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence.”

On Sudan, His Excellency said, “The UAE supports efforts and initiatives that are in the interest of the Sudanese people in terms of achieving unity, development, and the establishment of a new phase in which Sudan will enjoy stability and prosperity.

We express confidence in Sudan’s ability to successfully manage the transitional phase and reach a sustainable political settlement.”

On Somalia, His Excellency Al Marar said, “The UAE stands by Somalia in overcoming various challenges and supports the Somali Government’s efforts to fight the Al-Shabaab terrorist movement and other terrorist organizations so that the Somali people can enjoy prosperity and well-being.”
