  • Madini Africa Whitepaper ©2021
    Madini Africa Whitepaper ©2021 Original from Bluegate Business Solutions, LTD - Kajiado – Kenya Technological disruption is transforming markets and societies across Africa in ways that wouldn’t have been possible even five years ago. And this opens up huge and still largely untapped commercial potential for domestic and international businesses. From the demographic dividend of a young and rapidly expanding to an increasingly affluent and aspirational middle class, Africa has the potential to become a new powerhouse of production and consumption in the 21st century, just as Asia was able to do in the late 20th. As PwC explores in their five global megatrends (see PwC Figure 4), accelerating consumer demand and urbanization will create new target markets for domestic and international businesses. The availability of working age labour could also see a large proportion of manufacturing and service output shift from ageing Asia, Europe and North America to Africa by the middle of the century, though only if there are major improvements in education, infrastructure and health. Cutting across all these transformational trends is technology. Three-quarters of the 153 African business leaders taking part in PwC’s latest annual global CEO survey see technology as one of the three trends that will transform customer, employee, government and other key stakeholder expectations over the next five years. In Disrupting Africa: Riding the wave of the digital revolution, PwC explores how disruptive innovation is transforming markets and societies across

  • Bruno Charlaix, Marc Lassus: the Flea and the Crab Louse the Underside of the CIA Raid on the First French Unicorn
    Bruno Charlaix, Marc Lassus: The Flea and the Crab Louse The underside of the CIA raid on the first French Unicorn Bruno Charlaix, Marc Lassus : La Puce et le Morpion Les dessous du raid de la CIA sur la première Licorne française. (Librinova 2019, ISBN 979-10-262-4023-5) Note: The title is a word play. La puce in French is both a “flea” and an electronic chip. Morpion is actually "crab" for pubic crabs. But "crab" is also colloquially a child, or someone who is small and agile in the face of a large and not very agile opponent. Comments on the memoirs of Marc Lassus, in 1988 the head of the five founders of Gemplus, the French smart card manufacturing specialist. The company and Axalto, its main competitor at the time, merged in 2006 to form Gemalto, which became part of the Thales group in April 2019. The authors of this article have been passionate about IT for decades. In their areas of responsibility at leading smart card manufacturers, they have acquired a deep understanding of their strategic, industrial and commercial issues. Both have contributed to the strategy and growth of their corporations during their strongest expansion phase: Lutz Martiny at Giesecke & Devrient (G&D), Munich, and ORGA Kartensysteme GmbH, Paderborn; Jürgen Kempe at ORGA and Gemplus. The international smart card market has been shaped by the teams of several companies including Bull CP 8, De La Rue, Gemplus, G&D, Oberthur, ORGA and Schlumberger. We will not comment on the intrigues - some of which we have heard about from hearsay - in the fight for the supremacy of the leading French chip card manufacturer, which Marc Lassus, as a major shareholder and Chairman of the Board of Directors, has decisively influenced.

Central Transportation Planning Staff Directed by the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization. The MPO is composed of state and regional agencies and authorities, and local governments. March 2017 Shared-Use Mobility Services—Literature Review March 2017 Page 2 of 84 Shared-Use Mobility Services—Literature Review March 2017 ABSTRACT This document provides an overview of shared-use mobility services, which involve the sharing of vehicles, bicycles, or other transportation modes, and provide users with short-term access to transportation on an as-needed basis. The report defines various types of shared-use mobility services and describes companies and service providers that operate in Greater Boston. It also includes a review of literature on the following topics: • Who is using shared-use mobility services? For example, many users are in their 20s and 30s, and use of these services tends to increase with income and education level. • When and why are they used, and how have these services affected riders’ mobility? The services can vary in terms of how they help users meet their mobility needs. For example, carsharing users report using these services to run errands, while ridesourcing users frequently take them for social or recreational trips.

  • 21 Key Takeaways from Partnerships Between Public Transit Providers
    Note from Authors amid the Coronavirus Crisis l April 14, 2020 Transportation professionals: The road ahead for public transit agencies seeking to bounce back from coronavirus traffic collapse will be a difficult one. Some employers may make work-at-home arrangements permanent or adopt more flexible schedules. Fewer traditional rush-hour commuters may travel to and from downtown districts that are well served by traditional transit until Mallory Livingston Shurna virus concerns disappear. Gasoline prices could remain low until the economy recovers, making driving less expensive. Efforts to expand bus and rail services or sustain little-used routes may become more difficult as governments grapple with revenue shortfalls. In this difficult environment, transit agencies have a strong incentive to explore new ways to tap into new markets while stretching their limited resources. “21 Takeaways,” shows that targeted partnerships with Lyft, Uber and Via for on-demand service can be effective. These programs Joseph P. Schwieterman, PhD run the gamut from discounts for rides to bus or train stops, to eliminating “transit deserts” or catering to disadvantaged populations. Launching such programs, however, is not without risk. Finding the sweet-spot between being overly generous and overly restrictive can take months or even years. The study shows that agencies must: • Establish rules that limit the risk of traffic diversion from scheduled bus and train service. This may mean limiting offerings to particular geographic areas or market segments, such as seniors or people with disabilities. • Be ready to accept a certain amount of trial-and-error to move up the learning curve. • Grapple with vexing “cost versus control” issues.
