  • Ecopark launches world’s greenest residential complex

    Ecopark has launched Swan Lake Residences, world’s largest onsen complex spanning 3,000 sqm, and the first of its kind in Vietnam.

    Ecopark is Vietnam’s role model for a green residential complex, the largest of its kind in the country. It has received numerous awards for its beautiful landscaping and sustainable living. Perfect for people requiring exceptional living conditions for mental well-being, the total capacity of the Ecopark Project is about 110,000 residents. Hanoi, Vietnam, will be home to one of the most futuristic townships in the country, constructed specially to foster sustainability and human well-being.

    Ecopark launches Vietnam’s largest residential complex (Hanoi, 9/2021).

    Undergoing development through multiple construction phases, Ecopark is a project of unparalleled capacity, estimated to cost about US$10 billion. Set within the Hung Yen Province, the Ecopark project will span 500 ha, with more than 20% of the area dedicated purely to natural elements, like flora, fauna, and clean water bodies. The Solforest Apartments shall consist of two luxury towers amidst thick forests and spectacular views across the river.

    This exemplary urban establishment aims to create a sustainable city with modern solutions for mental health and nature conservation problems. The creators of this project have envisioned a settlement program where the resident’s quality of life can be improved through elevated environmental metrics. Ecopark will have as many as 1,000,000 trees, five times the coverage found in New York’s Central Park. The resulting air quality is going to match that of New Zealand.

    Various studies have revealed that nature is highly detrimental to emotional regulation while also playing a part in improved memory functions. It has also been observed that a good environment can bring great relief to people suffering from mild to major depressive disorders, leading them to feel motivated, energized, and more aligned than before. Ecopark will also boast of over 3000 birds and some scarce species. The water coverage would be as spacious as 142 American football fields, totaling over 1million sq feet, with each district furnished with its lake.

    Noting the importance of mental well-being during these turbulent times, the creators have directed all their focus towards revolutionizing global standards of residential living. Ecopark is not only going to be a reverential example to look up to for future living, but it will also challenge the existing patterns that pervade community settlements and construction in general.

  • World’s Top Universities Look to Scale a Certified Blockchain Workforce

    World’s Top Universities Look to Scale a Certified Blockchain Workforce

    Are the next generation of business leaders familiar with the world of Blockchain technology and the many real-world applications it offers? From dAPPs to DeFi to NFTs, unique applications of blockchain technology are growing at an exponential rate.

    The issue for Higher Education will be the pace at which the DeFi industry moves. Universities and colleges that are able to build flexible curriculums, easily adapted to accommodate new advances in decentralized technology, will win in the minds of the students who need to embrace these skills for the future. Investing in the future of Higher Education by issuing Blockchain certifications is one way to ensure that students are involved and informed when it comes to the future of the industry.

    There are some obvious topics for study around governance, supply chain and business models that adopt blockchain technology solutions into current processes. Furthermore, there is room to examine and learn from use cases for blockchain, like provenance, traceability and payments. Also, researching the future of blockchain integrations with other technologies is a sure topic for a dissertation.

    Ryan Williams, Executive Director of the Blockchain Academy explains why adoption of blockchain specific training within higher education is essential: “We are seeing a growing demand for the courses and truly believe that blockchain ed will play an important role in developing the skills of the future workforce.”

    “As with everything in life, the more one knows about a subject matter, the less threatening and more exciting it is. Education is a key tool in driving the future of Blockchain technology,” says Ryan.

    Universities that recognize the potential of blockchain technology and adopt the best approaches to embedding vetted course material will be best positioned to prepare students for the future of work. The Kautz-Uible Economics Institute at the University of Cincinnati teaches students how to successfully navigate this new world of monetary innovation by explaining how incentives, regulation, and market competition influence cryptocurrencies’ future trajectory.

    “Student interest in blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies has grown leaps and bounds in just the last few years. I am excited to teach cryptocurrencies because they lie at the intersection of economics, computer science, and mathematics. Through a partnership with The Blockchain Academy, students at the University of Cincinnati will learn fundamental and technical analysis of cryptocurrency portfolios,” says Michael Jones, Ph.D. Academic Director, MS in Applied Economics, University of Cincinnati.

    The Blockchain Academy has already partnered with over 16 prestigious Universities and institutions across the world, including the University of Cincinnati, Oklahoma State University, University of Alberta, University of California Santa Barbara and Rutgers University. The training offered covers a wide array of students across multiple disciplines, including: economics, business and technology. Future leaders and business executives will need to be familiar with blockchain and how it applies to different sectors of our economy. From blockchain foundations to enterprise blockchain solutions to crypto trading, the range of courses will provide a thorough understanding of the blockchain landscape.

    The supply needs to be met to match the current demand. Students are interested, blockchain organisations need a skilled workforce and colleges need a broad range of qualified instructors to guide students in the world of blockchain ecosystems.

    This is much more than getting a degree in Software Engineering or Business Studies, it is a combination of all of the training necessary to enter into the Blockchain Industry at many different levels. Although decentralization has been a driving force behind blockchain adoption, mainstream users, celebrities and countries are getting involved in the future of how this technology is used.

    NFTs alone are a thriving source of further study and research projects. Sales volumes recorded on the largest NFT trading platform, OpenSea, hit $1.9 billion so far this month. DappRadar recorded 32 known NFT sales above $1 million in the past 30 days. These transactions are not only enormous but also show that the world of NFTs is expanding and the volume of crypto being exchanged will provide stimulus for further investment.

    It is well reported that historically Universities have played a vital role in getting new industries off the ground. However, the world of decentralized finance is somewhat skeptical of traditional institutions and vice versa. This means that the eagerly awaiting learner resorts to community led learning or self-education through the many online platforms. With this approach however, the student is often left overwhelmed, without credentials and without the motivation often needed to complete a course.

    Blockchain startups have already begun to emerge from Universities that are leading the way in terms of education in this arena. Algorand from MIT and Ava Labs from Cornell are just two notable mentions.

    CoinDesk ranked the top 20 Universities for Blockchain in 2020, it found that 14 of the top 20 schools are private. Not surprisingly, MIT had the most blockchain publications between 2018 – 2020. Harvard has the highest number of student placings in the blockchain industry overall. Cornell offered the most blockchain courses of all the top 20. Interestingly, of all the top 46 schools surveyed, 33 had dedicated blockchain courses and 40 (87%) had a blockchain club. This demonstrates a clear interest in the subject matter as an area of study.

    Read more about this study here (https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2020/10/06/the-top-universities-for-blockchain/)

    If we are to better understand the applications of blockchain technology and how it may be aligned with the future of work we must familiarize ourselves with the many types of chains in existence and how they are currently being used.

    About The Blockchain Academy https://theblockchainacademy.com/

    The Blockchain Academy partners with universities to prepare participants for high-growth careers in the blockchain industry. To bring structure and growth to the blockchain workforce The Blockchain Academy develops a robust curriculum and provides instructional support services towards achieving micro-credentials and certifications that employers and project managers can trust. Knowledge transfer on EOS, Corda, Hyperledger Fabric, Ethereum, Hashgraph, Algorand, Polkadot, Solana, architecture, security, business Strategy, and industry specific impacts, such as Finance (De-Fi), Accounting and Supply Chain.

  • Ni Hsin Signs MoU with Tailg for Electric Vehicles Collaboration

    Ni Hsin Signs MoU with Tailg for Electric Vehicles Collaboration

    Ni Hsin EV Tech Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Main Market-listed Ni Hsin Group Berhad (formerly known as Ni Hsin Resources Berhad) (Ni Hsin), today entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Dongguan Tailing Motor Vehicle Co., Ltd. (TAILG) with the intention to collaborate and explore opportunities in the study, research, development, assembly and distribution of customised Electric Vehicles (EV) for commercial purposes in Malaysia and the ASEAN region (the Proposal).

    EV Bike

    Established in 2004, TAILG is one of the top three manufacturers of electric two-wheelers in China with a presence in over 75 countries and a research and development arm that has come up with over 420 patents relating to high performance EV, extended efficiency and cloud services.

    TAILG has won numerous awards including National High-Tech Enterprise and National Quality Training Base, and delivered EV models to China Telekom, Baidu Takeaway as well as Proctor & Gamble, amongst others. Environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) is a strong focus of TAILG’s operations, and the company is also a partner of the “United Nations Environment E-mobility Programme”.

    Khoo Chee Kong, Managing Director of Ni Hsin EV Tech Sdn Bhd, said: “The transport sector is responsible for 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The challenge of reducing transport emissions is proving increasingly important. This puts the emphasis on technological and organisational change, steering the world towards electromobility and zero-emission transport with the ultimate effect of reducing emissions in this sector and improving the health of the planet’s population.”

    Businesses have begun to embrace using EVs for delivery as they offer tangibly lower maintenance and operational costs due to their radically simpler mechanical systems that require little regular upkeep, such as not requiring costly oil changes. Industry giants like Amazon, Flipkart, IKEA, Swiggy and Grofers have been using electric bikes for deliveries in most cities.

    Khoo added, “The Ni Hsin Group’s venture into the e-mobility business is about business sustainability as well as a commitment to the ESG criteria of sustainability. Complementing our BLACKBIXON Coffee business concept of cafe@anywhere, we have created our proprietary Mobile Beverage Machine which uses EV bike to power the operation of the coffee machines to brew and serve our BLACKBIXON coffee to customers at various popular locations in cities around the country. We are also targeting to expand this business model across ASEAN.

    Through the collaboration we will be working with TAILG to develop the EV bikes for the above and other commercial purposes.”

    Thailand remains an important economic hub within Southeast Asia, boasting a mature and burgeoning tourism industry. However, in recent years, Thailand has been plagued by worsening air pollution caused by crop burning, industrial pollution and excessive vehicle exhaust emissions. In a bid to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality, the Thai government has made the promotion and development of EV a top priority, which also includes the electrification of sanitation vehicles.

  • UREEQA Announces New Qards Campaign, Staking Pools and Tier Structure

    • Beneficial opportunities for URQA tokenholders and loyal members of the UREEQA community

    UREEQA (www.ureeqa.com), a blockchain platform for protecting, managing and monetizing creative work, today announced several exciting new programs that are designed to generate considerable returns and benefits for the budding platform’s community members, as well as a substantial bump in the URQA token.

    UREEQA has launched a new Community Qards campaign that will lead this fall to tremendous new opportunities for those who are most loyal and active within the platform’s orbit.

    Community Qardholders will gain access to a VIP Staking Pool with a 155% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) that will launch on September 30, 2021. Those who collect a full set of the seven first-generation Qards will gain full access to the top tier of the platform’s new tier structure. That means direct access to senior members of the UREEQA team, discounts on NFTs, shares of community pot payouts, and access to the UREEQA Vault as well as exclusives in the UREEQA Marketplace.

    Critically, all the proceeds from Qard sales under this month’s campaign will be used to market buy URQA. That will lower the supply of URQA on the market and further protect UREEQA’s investors by stabilizing the market price of the token.

    “Our Qards, Staking Pools and Tiers are integrated so that the passionate members of our growing community can benefit in a variety of ways from their involvement and investment in our platform,” UREEQA CEO Kirk Fergusson said. “This fall, we’re giving UREEQAns a new way to expand their NFT collections while also building their portfolios, increasing their clout within the community, and bolstering the value of the token. Everybody wins.”

    Community Qards are persona NFT collectibles, available at the UREEQA Marketplace. Seven personas will be made available as part of the initial batch, with the next drop coming Thursday, September 16 at 7 p.m. ET.

    It is a rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor on something with tremendous yield. Plus, it involves original and unique NFT art as part of the world’s first truly, publicly and transparently authenticated lot of collectible NFT cards — enabling buyers to become a part of digital collectible history.
