New project to use Copernicus satellite imagery and AI to help EU foresters tackle threats like wildfires

Leave a comment

PARIS, 12-Jun-2024 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — Insect outbreaks, wildfires, and windthrow are responsible for most of the biomass loss in European forests. These threats are intensified by climate change: the ever more frequent extreme weather events – like droughts, heatwaves, and storms – make trees even more vulnerable to insects and pathogens, damage and uprooting by strong winds, and to becoming dry fuel for wildfires which spread faster and burn for longer.

“The goal of the Horizon Europe SWIFTT project is to help foresters better manage their projects through affordable, simple, and effective remote sensing tools. Backed up by Copernicus’s satellite imagery and cutting-edge artificial intelligence methods, our solution provides next-generation risk modelling to ensure the longevity of this precious environmental resource in the face of climate change,” says Ariane Kaploun, Head of Nature-based Solutions at AXA Climate and SWIFTT’s project coordinator.

The European Union’s Earth observation programme Copernicus monitors our planet and its environment, providing vast amounts of data that supports applications in many non-space domains.  “With Earth Observation data coming from Copernicus satellites, the SWIFTT project can contribute to the EU Forest Strategy aim of strengthening the protection, restoration, and resilience of Europe’s forests,” highlights Chiara Solimini, SWIFTT’s project officer at the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA).

As the project reaches its halfway mark, the SWIFTT platform, alongside its web and mobile apps, is under development by our technology partners. It will provide foresters with mapping notifications of areas in their forests at risk of windthrow damage, insect outbreaks, and wildfire. Meanwhile, the research partners are working hard in the analysis of satellite imagery and the creation and improvement of the AI models that will make it possible for SWIFTT to identify those threats.

The quality of those models is largely dependent on the training data used as input. As such, SWIFTT’s end-user partners are equipped with tools working with the in-house app and global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), including the EU’s Galileo system operated by EUSPA, to collect precise, time-stamped and geo-referenced forest data sets in Belgium, France, Germany, and Latvia.

“SWIFFT is leveraging synergies among the different space components Copernicus and Galileo to address forest health threats providing an easy-to-use application to forest managers and stakeholders,” says Quentin d’Huart, CEO at project partner Timbtrack.

By combining this rich satellite data and powerful machine learning models, SWIFTT will help foresters (i) identify changes in tree health, map dieback in their forests, and coordinate sanitary cuts faster, (ii) map windthrow damage after a storm for post-storm forest management, and (iii) identify areas at high risk of wildfires. With SWIFTT’s sustainable, effective, and low-cost forest management tool, Europe will be better positioned to combat climate change and preserve our biodiversity through healthier forests.

The SWIFTT consortium is composed of AXA Climate (FR), Da Vinci Labs (FR), Groupe Coopération Forestière (FR), Leibniz University Hannover (DE), Rigas Mezi (LV), Space Research Institute of Ukraine (UA), University of Bari Aldo Moro (IT), Timbtrack (BE), and Wildsense (FR). The project has been awarded a highly competitive grant in the Horizon Europe funding programme, in the topic ‘EGNSS & Copernicus applications fostering the European Green Deal’ managed by EUSPA. The partners will receive a cumulative €2.8M grant from the EUSPA/European Commission between 2022 and 2025.

LogTech company driveMybox expands to Hungary

Leave a comment
Patrick Jandt, Balazs Hangel and György Ambruzs signing the contract

HAMBURG, 6-Mar-2024 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — The Hamburg-based LogTech company driveMybox officially announces its strategic partnership with I.C.E. Transport Hungary Kft., an established and strong freight forwarder in Eastern Europe, and is delighted to have Hungary as its third international cooperation partner. Together with its locations in Germany and Italy, driveMybox is positioning itself as a “leading partner” in digital container lorry transport.

The partnership with I.C.E. Transport Hungary now enables driveMybox to bring its expertise and technologies to another market with great potential. Due to its geographical location, Hungary occupies a central position in the Eastern and Central European transport business. This, together with the increasing level of digitalization and the resulting demand for digital solutions, makes the Hungarian market indispensable for driveMybox’s strategic growth.

“Having already enjoyed great success in our two locations in Germany and Italy, we are extremely pleased to now be introducing driveMybox to the Hungarian market. In I.C.E. Transport, we have found a competent and reliable partner who will provide excellent support for our expansion into Hungary with its many years of experience and large network,” says Patrick Jandt, CEO of driveMybox.

“We are in the starting blocks and can’t wait to roll out driveMybox – a digital platform that brings everything to the table for the benefit of customers, truckers and us as I.C.E. – in Hungary. We are proud to have a trusted partner in driveMybox and look forward to working closely with the driveMybox team. It’s time to usher in a new level of Hungarian lorry container transport!”, explains Balász Hangel, CEO of I.C.E. and now also CEO of driveMybox Hungary.

The highly motivated driveMybox team in both Hungary and Hamburg is certain that driveMybox will not only be a sustainable addition to the Hungarian logistics sector, but will also set new standards and make a significant contribution to increasing efficiency and modernising truck container transport in Hungary.

The intuitive and user-friendly booking platform was launched in Germany in 2020 and has since offered an all-in-one solution for container road transport, connecting customers and service providers via the platform. In 2021, driveMybox expanded to Italy and began offering cross-border transport services. This network has now expanded beyond Germany and Italy to Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. With Hungary as a strategic location, transports within Hungary and beyond can now also be conveniently booked via the platform. The goal: to become the leading platform for container trucking – worldwide!

driveMybox: More than just trucking
There is no easier way to get a container from A to B than with the online platform. The entire transport process, from the price enquiry (instant quote) to scheduling and invoicing, is digitalised; in just a few clicks, any company that wants to transport a container by truck can book a transport via the platform. Registered drivers, on the other hand, are shown the optimised transport orders directly on their smartphones via push notifications, allowing them to accept or reject trips flexibly and independently. In this way, driveMybox ensures greater flexibility and transparency in container trucking – and it’s free of charge too. The platform maximises truck capacity and provides a precise overview of transports through visibility and real-time data provision. It also eliminates manual processes and establishes an in-time exchange of information and documents.

We want you!
Are you just as interested as we are in solving the complexity and lack of transparency of the container transport market in your own country? Digitising the entire transport process, bringing customers and truck drivers together with innovative approaches and generating more business by opening up the market? Then contact us at info@drivemybox.de and let’s talk about how we can implement the driveMybox platform in your country. Together with your input and expertise and our full support during the process, the driveMybox platform will be customised to your local requirements, offering immense potential to improve the local container transport landscape.

As in previous periods, larger companies showed better results than smaller firms: employment among previously listed companies rose 2.1% at the largest 25% of firms, compared with a drop of 1% at the remaining 75%.  The top 25% of firms now account for 65% of total industry employment and 80% of funding.  Still, the industry remains highly fragmented, with the five largest firms accounting for only 16% of employment and 13% of funding.

Other key findings in the report include:

  • Funding events including one Initial Public Offering (Klaviyo), one large financing round ($52 million Series D for Simon Data), and four smaller financing rounds.
  • Three ownership events including acquisition of Easyence by mediarithmics, merger of Adabra and Neodata to create Blendee, and purchase of PUSHTech by Cendyn.
  • U.S.-based firms continue to dominate the industry, accounting for 46% of companies, 63% of employees, and 83% of funding.   European vendors make up 37% of firms with 23% of employment and 8% of funding, while Asia-Pacific firms are 18% of companies, 14% of employment and 9% of funding.

Motorvision Group is accelerating its localization efforts and cost savings with the help of AI dubbing technology from Dubformer.ai

Leave a comment

AMSTERDAM, 9-Nov-2023 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — Motorvision Group, a leading European producer and operator of TV channels specializing in automotive content, is successfully transforming its localization process with the help of AI dubbing technology provided by Dubformer. By embracing AI-powered localization, Motorvision not only significantly reduced its localization costs, but also improved its connection with Motorvision’s target audience in LATAM countries and paved the way for potential expansion into new markets.

Motorvision Group is a well-established operator of TV channels, focusing on all aspects of the automotive industry, offering news coverage, documentaries, lifestyle content, and (Live) motorsports programs. With a worldwide presence and localized in multiple languages such as English, French, German, LAS, Greek, Portuguese, and Thai, Motorvision caters to a diverse range of viewers. The channels feature series with episodes ranging from 30-60 minutes in length, as well as shorter clips primarily intended for their popular Motorvision YouTube channel.

Traditionally, Motorvision relied on human translators and voice actors for subtitling and dubbing. However, the company recognized the need to optimize its localization process in order to stay competitive and meet the growing demands of its global audience. By adopting AI dubbing technology from Dubformer, Motorvision was able to expedite its localization efforts while achieving significant cost savings.

Motorvision began subtitling content in Greek and Brazilian Portuguese, and successfully produced four episodes with voiceovers in Latin American Spanish (LAS). The LAS version received widespread acceptance from Motorvision’s technical team, audience, and local linguists. Importantly, the AI-generated voiceover proved to be far more cost-effective than conventional market rates, allowing Motorvision to consider expanding AI dubbing to a wider range of languages.

One of the initial challenges faced by Motorvision during their AI dubbing testing was ensuring the correct pronunciation of different brands and eliminating the somewhat “robotic” sound (the first test was done in UK English). Dubformer effectively addressed these challenges by incorporating feedback from their “proof-listeners” and is actively working on integrating relevant glossaries to guarantee perfect pronunciation.

Furthermore, in order to create a more natural-sounding audiotrack, the Dubformer team explored different voices and applied enhanced AI mixing techniques, successfully achieving the desired outcome.

“We are thrilled to embark on this journey with Dubformer,” said Raimund Koehler, CEO of Motorvision Group. â€œOur mission is to provide our viewers around the world with the highest quality programming in their preferred language. With the help of Dubformer’s unique AI technology and approach involving human proof-listeners, we can increase our output without compromising on the quality of our content.”

In the initial AI dubbing venture, Motorvision has already achieved a 17% reduction in total localization costs. Motorvision has successfully dubbed four episodes for the LATAM and Spanish markets and is now preparing for further collaboration. The company’s ambitious plans include expanding AI dubbing into French, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, and potentially English, as they continue to revolutionize the localization landscape in the media industry.

Working in collaboration with Dubformer, Motorvision remains committed to enhancing its localization process and revolutionizing the media industry by leveraging AI technology.

About Dubformer
Dubformer (https://dubformer.ai/) is an AI dubbing start-up, specializing in delivering broadcast-level quality dubbing and voice-over services to the media industry. The company leverages a unique technology stack, developed by a team of leading AI experts, pairing it with the Human Touch platform. This approach ensures that the outcome aligns with the media industry standards.

About Motorvision Group:
Motorvision Group is Europe’s leading creator and producer of automotive-themed television programming.

ITC’s agnostic software is set to revolutionize traffic control in the United States

Leave a comment
Peachtree Corners announced a partnership with ITC Intelligent Traffic Control Ltd (ITC), providing an agnostic software solution that can be applied to existing traffic infrastructure to measure traffic and predict and mitigate congestion before it occurs for a more safe, sustainable and efficient travel experience. ITC is partnering with Curiosity Lab to launch this solution for the first time in the United States and will be deploying the solution at intersections for demos & testing.

TEL AVIV, Israel, 22-Sep-2023 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — Peachtree Corners – one of the USA’s first smart cities powered by real-world connected infrastructure and 5G – announced a partnership with ITC Intelligent Traffic Control Ltd (ITC), providing an agnostic software solution that can be applied to existing traffic infrastructure to measure traffic and predict and mitigate congestion before it occurs for a more safe, sustainable and efficient travel experience. ITC will be partnering with Curiosity Lab to launch this solution for the first time in the United States and will be deploying the solution in select Peachtree Corners’ traffic intersections for demonstrations and testing.

ITC’s software solution connects to existing traffic cameras and uses ground-breaking computer vision analysis to accurately identify all road objects and collect data including speed, acceleration, traffic flow, distance, pedestrian activity and more, while complying with privacy regulations by hiding license plates and faces. Using proprietary machine learning models, this data is then used to create a traffic model that highlights patterns of each intersection or corridor with the ability to connect across a grid of intersections and create one holistic image. ITC is also predicting traffic patterns in real-time based on historic data, enabling cities to have proactive and adaptive control of traffic congestion.

As what is being called #SiliconOrchard in the metro-Atlanta region, The City of Peachtree Corners in Georgia is a vibrant municipality that’s home to more than 45,000 residents, 45,000 jobs and an innovation hub that houses some of the world’s most disruptive technology companies. Peachtree Corners is a premier smart city powered by real-world connected infrastructure and 5G, serving as the model for how government and private industry can better collaborate to create a better future.

“With our solution already deployed across Israel, in Australia and other countries worldwide, Curiosity Lab will serve as a real-world playground for us to continue to develop our solution and to officially launch in the U.S. with an official office in the Innovation Center,” said Aharon Brauner, ITC Co-Founder and CEO. “That ecosystem is the perfect opportunity for us to demonstrate the effectiveness of our solution with consistent mixed traffic, public transit and pedestrian activity along the corridor. Proven to be 99% accurate in both daytime and nighttime scenarios, our solution is more accurate than human or other data collectors, and we are looking forward to using this opportunity to enhance traffic management throughout Curiosity Lab’s ecosystem and into Peachtree Corners to improve the everyday lives of visitors and citizens.”

In addition to uncovering patterns, ITC’s solution can create traffic simulations across intersections and corridors where the software is deployed. Here, traffic controllers and city managers will be able to see real-time object-driven visualization and simulation with a geographic overlay and to create countless theoretical traffic scenarios for the software to solve. Through its proprietary algorithms, ITC’s software can also manage traffic based on a city’s specific goals, whether that be to limit carbon emissions and improve sustainability or provide general traffic management, prioritize pedestrians or public transit and more.

“Our software not only learns and adapts traffic signals and patterns in real-time, but also has the capability to manage traffic to prioritize certain categories of road users,” said Dvir Kenig, ITC Co-Founder and CTO. “This allows cities to manage each intersection or corridor differently based on the type of traffic they are seeing and/or time of day. If an intersection regularly has heavy pedestrian traffic, our solution can prioritize this category and will develop models for pedestrian tendencies across wait time, how long it takes to cross the street, etc. Cities can then prioritize pedestrians in mixed traffic by limiting the wait time to cross the street based on foot traffic. Similarly, this can be applied to public transit and even school buses in mixed traffic, ensuring for these categories efficient trips to remain on schedule.”

“According to recent studies, more than 40% of traffic accidents occur in intersections, and congestion accounts for 25% of car greenhouse gas emissions – with the average driver spending three days per year stuck in traffic,” said Brandon Branham, Curiosity Lab Executive Director. “This cost-effective traffic solution is going to be a game-changer for cities across the U.S. ITC’s solution gives city managers and traffic engineers the affordable tools to make our roadways safer, more efficient and thus more sustainable for everyone on the road. We will be able to manage intersections in real-time and can easily download a traffic report and adapt traffic signal patterns remotely, which is a huge advantage for city managers when there are major wrecks, community events and sudden surges in traffic. The ease of scalability is also impressive, which makes this even more appealing to city managers and CTOs across the country. As a city, we are excited to witness how ITC continues to improve our residents’ daily driving experience.”

La Astrología Revela la Verdad detrás de la Separación de Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner

Leave a comment

BRAZIL, 13-Sep-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Los fanáticos de Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner se sorprendieron esta semana con el anuncio de su divorcio. En una carta abierta, la actriz enfatizó que la decisión fue mutua y amigable. Las razones de la separación podrían ser muchas, pero la sinastria astral de la pareja indica algunos de los caminos que llevaron al fin de esta unión.

Según Astrolink, si la compatibilidad entre los dos se pudiera medir en una escala del 1 al 100, recibirán una puntuación de 55. Esto se debe principalmente al elemento Fuego que impregna los mapas astrales de ambos. Comenzando con Sophie, que es Piscis, pero tiene un mapa astral bastante interesante: Ascendente, Luna y Venus en Aries. Al mismo tiempo, también tienen una buena compatibilidad en los aspectos lunares, lo que indica una pareja creativa y extrovertida que intercambia muchas ideas y tiene mucho potencial para ser una pareja exitosa.

Sin embargo, hay poca afinidad en los signos solares, venusianos y mercurianos. El Sol en Piscis de Sophie tiende a ser más introvertido y tranquilo, mientras que el Sol en Leo de Jonas prefiere estar en el centro de atención y brillar. Por otro lado, el deseo de atención de este aspecto leonino puede haber sido alimentado por el Ascendente y la Luna en Aries de la actriz.

Otro detalle es que Joe tiene Venus en Escorpio y Sophie en Aries. En este aspecto, estas son posiciones bastante opuestas. A pesar de ser Piscis, Sophie también tiene la Luna en Aries, lo que significa que, a pesar de su introversión, no le gusta quedarse quieta y prefiere momentos de romance y conquista. En cambio, la Venus en Escorpio de Joe tiende a ser más posesivo y tranquilo.

Sophie tiene Mercurio en Acuario y Joe en Escorpio. En este aspecto, Sophie tiende a ser más abierta al diálogo y al intercambio de ideas cuando se siente cómoda. El Mercurio en Escorpio de Joe hace que quiera profundizar en temas y puede ser repetitivo e incluso agotador.

Astrologia revela a verdade por trás da separação de Joe Jonas e Sophie Turner

Leave a comment

BRAZIL, 13-Sep-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Os fãs de Joe Jonas e Sophie Turner foram surpreendidos esta semana com o anúncio do seu divórcio. Numa carta aberta, a atriz destacou que a decisão foi tomada de forma mútua e amigável. Os motivos da separação podem ser diversos, mas a astrologia oferece algumas indicações sobre os caminhos que levaram ao fim deste casamento.

De acordo com o Astrolink, se a compatibilidade entre os dois pudesse ser avaliada numa escala de 1 a 100, eles receberiam uma pontuação de 55. Isto deve-se, sobretudo, à influência do elemento Fogo nos mapas astrais de ambos. Começando por Sophie, que é pisciana, mas possui um mapa astral bastante interessante, com o Ascendente, a Lua e Vénus em Áries. Ao mesmo tempo, eles também têm uma boa compatibilidade nos aspetos lunares, o que indica um casal criativo e extrovertido, que partilha muitas ideias e tem potencial para ser bem-sucedido.

No entanto, existem poucas afinidades nos signos solares, venusianos e mercurianos. O Sol em Peixes de Sophie tende a ser mais introvertido e reservado, enquanto o Sol em Leão de Jonas prefere estar no centro das atenções e destacar-se. Por outro lado, o desejo de atenção característico de Leão pode ter sido alimentado pelo Ascendente e pela Lua em Áries da atriz.

Outro detalhe a considerar é que Joe tem Vénus em Escorpião e Sophie em Áries, posições bastante opostas. Apesar de ser pisciana, Sophie também tem a Lua em Áries, o que significa que, apesar da sua introspeção, ela não gosta de ficar parada e prefere momentos românticos e de conquista. Já a Vénus em Escorpião de Joe tende a ser mais possessiva e tranquila.

Sophie tem Mercúrio em Aquário e Joe em Escorpião. Neste aspeto, Sophie tende a ser mais aberta ao diálogo e à troca de ideias quando se sente à vontade. Já o Mercúrio em Escorpião de Joe faz com que ele queira aprofundar-se em temas, podendo ser repetitivo e até mesmo cansativo.

«Карта мира» — это онлайн-платформа, которая помогает русскоязычным антивоенным активистам

Leave a comment

ВИЛЬНЮС, 7-Jun-2023 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — По данным газеты The Moscow Times, до 1 миллиона человек покинули Россию после начала полномасштабного вторжения в Украину. Антивоенная российская диаспора состоит из представителей самых разных слоев обществ, но всех этих людей объединяют простые и понятные вещи — решительное осуждение вторжения в Украину и недвусмысленная поддержка суверенитета Украины, а также стремление к справедливости.

Лана Пылаева, координатор “Free Russia Netherlands”, рассказала независимому изданию Not My War: “Для меня самое важное — это то, что мы создали в Нидерландах как сообщество россиян, выступающих войне. Для достижения этого мы организовали целый комплекс мероприятий после начала полномасштабной войны.”

Сбор гуманитарной помощи для украинцев, боты для помощи тем, кто в России пытается избежать призыва, пикеты и марши, протестный стрит-артом, запуск международного проекта по возвращению украденных украинских детей (SaveChildrenFromPutinism.org) — все эти возможности выступить против от агрессии российского государства так же многообразны, как и люди, возглавляющие их, а темп активности действительно впечатляет.

Координации и катализации таких процессов помогают как раз такие централизованные платформы, как интерактивна «Карта мира», которую активисты используют для синхронизации своих действий и взаимной поддержки. Изначально запущенная после начала полномасштабного вторжения для связи русскоязычных антивоенных активистов по всему миру, “Map of Peace”, усиленная недавним присуждением премии Campaigns for Humanity, объявляет о новой цели — представить на своей карте каждую русскую антивоенную инициативу. Уже сейчас на карте отмечены 144 сообществ, и их число постоянно растет. Организаторы уверены, что удобство обновленной платформы усилит возможности многочисленных эмигрантских сообществ, выступающих за мир.

Война в Украине затягивается — она идет уже 16-й месяц. И все сильнее ощущается необходимости слаженных и эффективных действий в этом «марафоне». И этому все больше убедительных доказательств. Например, активистки движения «Феминистское антивоенное сопротивление» (ФАС), представленного на «Карте мира»”, регулярно используют подрывные техники борьбы с кремлевской пропаганды, направленные непосредственно на россиян. Среди них — создание «анти-уроков», которые родители могут использовать для противодействия эффектам военной пропаганды, навязываемой российским школьникам, и использование фотошопа для создания фотографий танков, покрытых кровью и с антивоенными лозунгами, которые затем выкладываются на Google Maps.

Сможет ли подобная изобретательность россиян в эмиграции действительно повлиять на исход войны? Последние сообщения предполагают, что так. По данным «Медиазоны», число российских военнослужащих, ÑƒÐºÐ»Ð¾Ð½ÑÑŽÑ‰Ð¸Ñ…ся от службы, резко возросло, превысив показатели 2022 года всего за первые четыре месяца 2023 года. ÐšÐ°Ðº контрактные военнослужащие, так и призывники уклоняются от службы, отказываясь выполнять приказы о переброске на Украину или дезертируя с передовой.

Как заявили активисты российского антивоенного сообщества в годовщину начала полномасштабного вторжения в феврале: «Мы должны продолжать сопротивляться режиму вместе, поддерживать все формы протеста, менять взгляды сторонников войны, помогать тем, кто столкнулся с проблемами из-за войны, и проявлять солидарность всеми доступными и безопасными для нас способами. Не бойтесь говорить правду! Мы призываем россиян отказаться от участия и помогать другим не принимать участие в преступной войне и геноциде украинского народа».

New online organizing platform serves  Russian-speaking anti-war activists worldwide as a centralized hub for initiatives

Leave a comment

VILNIUS, 31-May-2023 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — According to reporting in the Moscow Times, up to 1 million people have fled Russia in the wake of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Hailing from a diversity of backgrounds but united by an impassioned opposition to the invasion and unequivocal support for Ukrainian sovereignty, the anti-war Russian diaspora has established itself as a massive force driven by tireless emigres committed to justice.

Lana Pylaeva, the coordinator of Free Russia Netherlands, told independent media outlet Not My War, “To me, the greatest achievement is that we have established ourselves in the Netherlands as a community of war–opposing Russians. To achieve this, we have organized a whole complex of activities since the full-scale war.”

From collecting humanitarian aid for Ukrainians and running bots to help those in Russia avoid conscription; to in-person pickets, marches, and blanketing the streets with protest art; to launching a multinational project demanding the return of Ukraine’s stolen children, dubbed SaveChildrenFromPutinism.org; the opportunities to reject Russian state aggression are as multifaceted as the people spearheading them, and the rate of activity is enough to make the head spin.

Driving the opposition effort’s momentum are centralized hubs–such as the online platform Map of Peace–activists use to coordinate their activities and support one another. Originally launched just after the full-scale invasion as a means of connecting Russian-speaking anti-war activists across the globe, Map of Peace, bolstered by a recent Campaigns for Humanity award, is announcing a new goal of hosting every Russian anti-war initiative on its map. With 144 communities already on the map and growing by the dozens in recent months, project organizers are confident the updated platform’s one-stop-shop convenience will amplify the impact of the legions of expatriates agitating for peace.

As the war drags into its 16th month, there’s a renewed sense of urgency among anti-war advocates, fueled by evidence suggesting that their efforts are working. For example, activists with Feminist Anti-War Resistance (FAR), a movement hosted on Map of Peace, frequently engage in creative propaganda subversion techniques designed to appeal directly to those in Russia, such as creating “anti-lessons” parents can use to counter the effects of the militarization indoctrination imposed on Russian schoolchildren, and turning a favored Russian propaganda tool–tanks–on its head by posting to Google Maps photoshopped images of tanks covered in blood and featuring anti-war slogans.

Excerpt from Feminist Anti-War Resistance Facebook Post About Its “Anti-Lesson”: “Before May 9, propaganda ‘patriotic classes’ are held for many Russian schoolchildren and students, justifying the attack on Ukraine with the narrative of the Second World War. We studied the materials of ‘Conversations about the important things’ to May 9 and information on how educational institutions will celebrate this day. Based on what we’ve read, we have prepared an outline and materials for the Anti-Lesson for May 9th to initiate a conversation about anti-militarism and the causes of war.

Can exiled Russians’ ingenuity influence the outcome of the war? Recent reporting suggests so. According to Mediazona, Russian AWOL figures are soaring, surpassing the 2022 full‑year tally within the first four months of 2023. Both contract soldiers and conscripts are going AWOL, either by directly refusing orders to deploy to Ukraine or deserting from the front lines.

As stated by the Congress of Antiwar Initiatives on the one-year anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “We must keep resisting the regime together, support all forms of protest, change the minds of supporters of the war, help those who are in trouble because of the war and show solidarity by all means available and safe for us, let’s not be afraid to speak the truth! We urge Russians to refuse to participate in and help others to not take part in the criminal war and genocide of the Ukrainian people.” Join our mission for peace and justice for Ukraine. Visit www.mapofpeace.org today to ensure your initiative is represented.

Digital Marketing Agency Renaissance3’s Initiative Illustrates Power of Humanity in Overcoming Divisions

Leave a comment
24 for 24

KYIV, 24-Feb-2023 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — Prior to February 24, 2022, the people and organizations spotlighted in digital marketing agency Renaisssance3’s latest initiative were content to be parents and children; musicians and poets; businesses and workers. The company’s newest campaign, titled “24 for 24” in reference to the 24 change makers profiled–one for each of the 24 days leading up to the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine–was conceived as a series to illustrate the power our collective humanity has to overcome the forces that seek to divide us.

In her “Diary of Lviv,” Vlada Ralko writes, “The shock of war undermines ordinary perception of reality.” But “If we are united, we will be able to defeat evil,” insists Valentyna Polovnyka of Bickerstaff, a Ukrainian creative agency featured in the campaign.

Among the stories documented in “24 for 24” are those of a German father and daughter who, determined to assist the thousands of Ukrainians fleeing the bombs, journeyed 1,000 km from their home in Frankfurt to meet refugees flowing through the Polish border; an account of thousands of creatives who banded together to fight information warfare with the stated aim of preventing World War III; and Russian independent media, many in exile, who risk their security and livelihoods to provide accurate information to those who need it most.

Renaissance3–which launched Campaigns for Humanity in March 2022 as a global alliance of creatives, activists, and advertisers working toward peace in Ukraine–is an award-winning digital marketing agency that invests a portion of its profits in initiatives aligned with its guiding values of human rights, digital democracy, and more humane economies. For its work with Campaigns for Humanity, the company was named a Positive Change Winner at the 2022 KYIV International Advertising Festival.

As part of its renewed commitment to support peace in Ukraine as the war enters its second year, Renaissance3 is also announcing €10,000 funding awards, as well as technical and strategic support from its team of digital communications experts, available for nongovernmental organizations or individuals working on projects to defend Ukrainian sovereignty. To submit a nomination, visit campaignsforhumanity.com/call-for-submissions.

Icona Design Group and Laureti Mobility Group partner over connected multimodal mobility

Leave a comment

LONDON, 26-Oct-2022 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — The roaring 20s of this century are already seeing the mobility revolution through the rise of electric and autonomous technologies, continued innovations of Hyperloops, electric planes and maglev trains. Yet as we head towards 2030, the global share of the urban population is projected to rise further to 60 percent.

How are the smart city creators preparing to cope with the added stress on urban life and resources? An average time spent during public commutes in major European cities represent 9.2 % in a person’s day. The ever–changing demands of our personal life and work will require constant productivity in each waking hour of our daily lives. For most people, urban transportation is a tolerable soul–sucking time–dead necessity. The cities of the future need to focus on seamless access to services and inter–city transportation through a more human–centric view.

Why? Because smart cities are meant for smart living and there is no smart city without smart mobility.

The vision of the newborn partnership between Icona and Laureti delivers precisely the solution we need for the future of urban mobility. Icona, a well–known award–wining name in the automotive sector is now developing ecosystems for smart cities and autonomous pilots. 

The MiRA ecosystem for multimodal and smart city use is like going through the city where everything works exactly to the users’ needs and their convenience. It maximizes their productivity and relieves them from fragmentation and hassle across various modes of transport. 

Currently, MiRA.OS is the lynchpin of the Laureti ecosystem experience where user’s lifestyles, Laureti cars and the AI– powered MiRA are connected. So users can experience a seamless, synchronized and more productive mobility across different cars, and very soon across different modes of transport.

The partnership reveals a story of cross pollination of ideas and technologies where MiRA’s current use case is repurposed to deliver a wider solution for daily commuters to make their journeys seamless and productive. The vision is to connect users with transport systems and city amenities as a personalized single network in each journey. Whilst Laureti sets to provide the technology; Icona will package design and technology for smart city contractors as a readily available turnkey product, thanks to its vast experience, having designed such unique projects like the Hyperloop capsule and being an active part of real projects such as the Shanghai Full–chain Smart Driving Pilot Zone.

“Icona’s vision of the future is embedded in every project across a wide range of sectors. For years, through the lens of our design, we have been showing the world how our future will be reshaped by the connected, digital and seamless experiences. As we lead this from the forefront, we see an immediate opportunity where our design and creative capabilities can be further strengthened by an addition of the MiRA software. This means we can package the design, project plan and supporting software services as turnkey offering for our clients which enables them to more efficiently build their projects.” Said Teresio Gigi Gaudio, CEO of Icona Group. 

“Helping commuters to optimize their productivity during travel is what MiRA does, while living up to the tenets of sustainability. If you could regain 30 minutes of commute time to be productive, that is a bedtime story for your kids. The savings of each commute time add up to something significant that will profoundly benefit not only at an individual level over time but also at a macro level. Our plan is to enable a better work–life balance for people through mobility. If our solution could represent a few cents on the daily ticket price across Europe to make it affordable, we are looking at revenues starting from $ 200,000 per day.” Marcus Paleti, CEO of Laureti added.

According to Laura Ferrero of Icona Group, “we don’t have to wait for the autonomous future to arrive in order to implement this technology, we can start adapting this into the existing transport modes and city infrastructure to enable the transition towards full autonomy”.

“In the near future, we are looking to launch a pilot zone where visitors will have the chance to experience a glimpse of their future. We want them to realize that there is a better future awaiting them through what we are creating today”. Says Enea Colombo, managing director of Icona Group.
