Blockchain Blockbuster - Egyptian Government Extends Ground-Breaking Customs Project with CargoX

CargoX

CargoX, the global blockchain company leading the world on the digital transfer of trade documents, has announced a long-term extension to its disruptive agreement with the Egyptian government to accelerate the digital transformation of Egypt's trade flows with the world. The public-private partnership Misr Technology Services (MTS) - 80% owned by the Egyptian government - authorized CargoX as its blockchain document transfer gateway service provider for the country’s official NAFEZA single-window trade platform in March last year. Designed to bring trust and transparency to a digital trade environment, systemize Egyptian trade documents and information flow with companies around the world, the NAFEZA solution integrates the CargoX platform for Blockchain Document Transfer (BDT). Usage of the system became mandatory in Egyptian ports on October 1 last year. Since its implementation, the project has surpassed all expectations with CargoX’s blockchain solution already used to seamlessly and safely transfer more than 1,100,000 actual trade and finance documents for more than 75,000 customers. NAFEZA’s triumph has made CargoX the fastest-growing blockchain platform in the logistics industry. It represents one of the most compelling cases for the adoption of the blockchain as a critical tool for streamlining global trade and commerce. Underpinning CargoX’s remarkable success story is some game-changing time and cost-savings for the Egyptian government, importers, and foreign exporters doing business in Egypt. Benefits resulting for users from the adoption of blockchain technology include increased transparency, the elimination of red tape, and a reduction in the average cargo release time from 29 days to 9 days with a notable reduction in container demurrage and storage fees. Compliance costs for shippers have also been slashed from more than USD$600 to USD$165, or less as a consequence of the move onto the blockchain. As part of the extended agreement, the NAFEZA project will now be rolled out to include air cargo and encompass a total number of 30 sites including airports, seaports, dry ports, border posts, free zones, and bonded warehouses. NAFEZA has so far been adopted by more than 32,000 importers, 20,000 exporters, 2,200 brokers, 300 shipping agencies & freight forwarders, as well as more than 74,000 foreign exporters. The system currently handles 12,000 transactions a day. “The use of the platform in the public sector is a revolutionary step for global maritime shipping - and our partners will be forever inscribed in the ledger of history,” said Stefan Kukman, Founder & CEO, CargoX. “We are constantly working on providing great value, confidentiality, transparency, and immutability to our customers and our partners - and we base that value on building digital trust in global trade.” Immediate benefits for the Egyptian government include integrating 26 government bodies associated with cargo clearance, establishing a reliable national data warehouse with high-quality data used to drive the decision-making process for the ministry of finance, trade & industry, transport, and cabinet as well as the digital transformation of 6 trade documents, and the elimination of 11 other documents reducing red tape in the country dramatically. “In pursuit of Egypt’s ambitious strategy for sustainable development and integration into the global economy, MTS succeeded in implementing the national single window for trade across borders to achieve the transformation from 19th Century manual & paper-intensive customs procedures to a modern, state-of-the-art, digital ecosystem and extending it to engage the trade community abroad by partnering contractually with CargoX to leverage their leading-edge technology and advanced solutions,” said MTS CEO and chairman, Captain Ossama al Sharif. As an early adopter of the technology, Egypt has catapulted itself to the forefront of the changes taking place in the digitalization of global trade, said CargoX Chief Business Development Officer, Vjeran Ortynski. “Governments and companies with a strong digitalization agenda are showing the way for all the rest to follow, while gaining a strategic advantage in the global markets. We listen to our strategic business partners and develop features on the platform that are adapted to the needs of the global trade - with specifics that can be tailored to specific needs of our partners and always provide ease of use, value, and savings in time and cost for our global user base,” said Ortynski. About CargoX CargoX Ltd is a global company specializing in document transfer solutions, based on blockchain transactions and an ownership validation platform. The core team of founders brings together more than 100 years of experience in the logistics, banking, programming, IT and blockchain industries. Users of CargoX's BDT platform can upload or create electronic trade documents and then transact ownership of them like money through a global bank, at any time, with the following benefits: For more information: ( https://cargox.io/ ) Contact Details CHARLIE PESTI —The world’s best publicist for supply chain technologies.

Update: Theorem Inc Defends Trademark and Trade Name, Ninth Circuit Denies Citrusbyte Efforts for Stay of Injunction

Theorem Inc

Theorem Inc, a flexible full-service digital marketing solutions provider, recently defended its federally registered trademarks and trade name, winning a Preliminary Injunction in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against Citrusbyte, LLC, recently conducting business as Theorem LLC (Theorem.co) and, as of January 24, 2022, conducting business as TheoremOne (TheoremOne.co). After all attempts at reaching an amicable resolution failed, Theorem Inc, which has been operating under its Theorem trademarks and trade name since its inception in 2002, sought an injunction against Citrusbyte LLC, which had rebranded itself under the name Theorem. Despite receiving a decision by the United States Patent and Trademark Office rejecting its attempt to register the name “Theorem” for its business due to the likelihood of confusion with the registered trademarks of Theorem Inc, Citrusbyte LLC previously moved forward with their rebrand from Citrusbyte to the name Theorem, and promoted itself through its website at Theorem.co. The District Court ruled that Theorem Inc was likely to prevail in its trademark infringement claims against Citrusbyte, and therefore, issued a Preliminary Injunction requiring Citrusbyte to cease its use of the Theorem name pending final resolution of the litigation. The granting of this Motion for Preliminary Injunction by the United States District Court was the first step to permanently eliminating market-wide and end-user confusion within the industry in connection with Citrusbyte’s use of Theorem Inc's registered trademarks. The primary requirements of the Preliminary Injunction became effective as of January 24, 2022. Citrusbyte attempted first in the District Court, and then after losing in the District Court, in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, to obtain a stay of the Preliminary Injunction so it would not need to comply. On February 1, 2022, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied Citrusbyte’s most recent motion to stay the District Court’s Preliminary Injunction. Pursuant to the Preliminary Injunction, Theorem LLC (formally known as Citrusbyte, LLC) has now rebranded itself to TheoremOne. View the 9th Circuit Denial of Stay Here View the District Court Preliminary Injunction Ruling Here About Theorem Founded in 2002, Theorem provides end-to-end agile digital marketing services for some of the world's leading brands.

3rd Annual Survey: CMOs Increasingly Being Tapped to Lead Growth in Difficult Business Environment in 2022

Chief Outsiders

Chief Outsiders, the nation’s largest and fastest growing firm offering fractional Chief Marketing Officer services with Fortune 500 experience, today revealed the results from the third annual survey of its CMOs on their 2022 outlook. The results speak to the changing expectations that the C-suite holds for CMOs, the impact of the pandemic and changing customer behaviors and preferences (among them those pertaining to ESG) on companies and companies’ marketing priorities. “While it seems that we finally have the worst of the pandemic behind us, the impact of Covid on the economy, on businesses’ growth prospects and on customer preferences and behaviors, will continue to be strongly felt for quite some time to come. More than ever, CMOs are being called upon to take the leading role in helping companies accelerate growth in this new environment, many of whom haven’t embraced digital marketing solutions in any significant way until now,” said Art Saxby, founder and co-principal of Chief Outsiders. “Since labor shortages also impact the marketing function, and technology makes remote work more viable than ever, fractional CMOs are rapidly becoming a natural option for an increasing number of CEOs faced with a need to hire specialized executive-level help for achieving their growth objectives,” said Pete Hayes, CMO and co-principal of Chief Outsiders. Key Survey Takeaways: Expectations for 2022 Respondents were mixed on their expectations for 2022, with 47 percent of CMOs surveyed reported having a pessimistic view on the New Year. 46 percent expected the economic circumstances to improve. See Table 1, Q15: ( N: 57) here. Impediments to growth in 2022 CMOs identified as main headwinds for companies’ growth a continued shortage of talent, on-going supply chain issues, inflation, and potential government Covid measures. In other words, CMOs expect that the uncertainty and longer-term impact of the pandemic will continue to weigh negatively on companies’ growth prospects. See Table 2, Q16: (N: 55) here. CEO priorities for CMOs In the current environment where an unprecedented confluence of quickly evolving economic and sociological factors impact not only what customer have to be spend, but also how they collect information on alternatives and what factors weigh in when they make a purchasing decision, CMOs are called upon by their CEOs, first and foremost, to set the growth agenda. Second is lead generation (filling the sales pipeline), and third is building the organization to achieve growth goals. 76.4 percent of respondents say the shift in growth emphasis is permanent, while 12.7 percent say it’s not. See Table 3, Q8: (N: 56) here. Importance of ESG Another important factor impacting growth prospects for businesses are changes in customer buying behavior that are not new but have been accelerated through - and because - of the pandemic. Important changes to behaviors, next to the digitalization of the buyer journey, include growing concerns with ESG where 69 percent of respondents said that a brand’s stance on environmental and social issues is somewhat important or extremely important to customers when making purchasing decisions. And more than 83 percent said that CMOs should take the lead in defining and activating a brand’s ESG initiatives. See Table 4, Q36: (N: 54) here. Capturing and managing 1st party B2B, B2C customer data Upcoming changes to companies’ ability to leverage third party data is an emerging challenge marketers will need to address. When asked where marketers can best capture and manage first party customer data, at in-person events came second to last (the owned website and social media came first) - the same picture can be seen for both B2B and B2C customers. See Table 5, Q27: (N: 55) for B2B and Table 6, Q28: (N: 48) for B2C here. CEO attitudes towards fractional CMOs CEOs also no longer need CMOs to be on payroll, let alone check in every morning at 08:00 AM. Increasingly, attitudes are becoming more positive towards fractional CMOs where 70 percent of respondents said that fractional CMOs are becoming ever more accepted by the C-suite, with only 18 percent indicating that only some CEOs are willing to work with fractional CMOs. See Table 7, Q11: (N: 56) here. The complete results of the survey available upon request. About this survey Chief Outsiders surveyed more than 60 CMOs with Fortune 500 experience in over 1,400 enterprise and mid-market companies on their perspectives of their marketplaces. This marks the third annual CMO survey on what to expect in market trends and company growth. About Chief Outsiders Chief Outsiders is the leading Fractional CMO firm that helps CEOs accelerate growth through the development and disciplined execution of well-crafted growth plans. The firm has more than 100 part-time, or fractional, Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) engaged from coast-to-coast.

Chew on This: How Choosing Almonds Can Help Jumpstart Your Wellness Routine

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/KK3MSRsDCKA Now a few months into 2022, sticking to New Year resolutions may be challenging, whether that means finally attending spin class, starting a daily meditation practice, making healthier food choices, or all the above. The current reality is more people are home, and snacking more frequently, but there is a conflict between people wanting to be healthier yet craving indulgent food and snacks. Lack of routine and unlimited kitchen access coupled with added anxiety and stress is the perfect storm for mindless eating. Many of us recognize what wellness looks likes and the benefits of maintaining a wellness routine but aren’t actually doing what we are saying. According to new survey conducted by Dynata and California Almonds – yielding a sample size of 6,000 adults representative of the U.S. adult population[1] – the majority of respondents agree that healthy eating (73%), exercise (70%), taking time to relax or meditate (69%), and practicing self-care (64 %) are top priorities. And 74% plan to continue to prioritize self-care and changes to their wellness habits as we emerge from the pandemic. Most of us consider wellness important in our lives, but less than half (47%) admit to practicing wellness rituals daily. Less than half (48%) report healthy eating as a regularly practiced wellness routine. We could all use a friend in wellness, aka, a reliable source to keep us feeling our best. Snacking on almonds is a great place to start: Almonds are rich in nutrients that contribute to improved mental well-being and feeling energized to be at your best A balanced, happy lifestyle includes at least one serving of almonds as an essential part of your daily wellness ritual. [1] The study yielded a total sample size of n=6,000 with a margin of error of ± 1% at a 90 percent level of statistical confidence. Subgroup analysis was conducted to understand nuances across audience segments, with a priority on the following: Millennials (n=1,573) Almond eaters (n=1,884; defined as weekly+) Millennial almond eaters (n=595; almond eaters defined as weekly+) Families with children in the household (n=1,641) One serving of almonds (28 grams) has 13 grams of unsaturated fat and only 1 gram of saturated fat. It also provides 6 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, 20 percent of recommended magnesium—which aids in the production of energy in the body—and 50 percent of your daily Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that promotes skin health and supports immunity.
