Ford Motor Company and Stripe have signed a five-year agreement to scale the automaker’s e-commerce capabilities faster and to deliver an always-on experience for Ford and Lincoln customers.

“We have been working with Ford to reimagine our e-commerce payment infrastructure. Stripe’s platform will help us deliver simpler, outstanding payment experiences in any channel customers choose and scale improvements faster,” said Marion Harris, Ford Motor Credit Company CEO.

Together, Stripe and Ford will grow the online payments infrastructure serving customers and dealers in markets across North America and Europe. Their work will deliver enhanced, reliable online commerce experiences for users, dealers and the company. Stripe also will enable Ford Pro FinSimple solutions for commercial customers.

With products like Stripe Connect, Ford will be able to scale new services that require a robust, reliable e-commerce backbone. Connect lets businesses create a platform to facilitate purchases and payments between third-party buyers and sellers. Ford will use Connect to facilitate a customer’s payments to a correct local Ford or Lincoln dealer.

Eileen O’Mara Revenue & Growth Lead EMEA at Stripe has said that “we are thrilled to announce Stripe’s collaboration with Ford Motor Company, another ambitious global company with Irish heritage. In the coming years Stripe will play a crucial role in Ford’s digital transformation, enabling new e-commerce experiences for customers and dealers across Europe and the US.

“As part of the Ford+ plan for growth and value creation, we are making strategic decisions about where to bring in providers with robust expertise and where to build the differentiated, always-on experiences our customers will value,” Harris said. “Stripe has developed strong expertise in user experiences that will help provide easy, intuitive and secure payment processes for our customers.”

As Ford develops e-commerce offerings across the product and service spectrum, Stripe’s platform will be a key part of the tech stack. For Ford and Lincoln dealers offering digital payment services today, Stripe’s service is expected to drive new efficiency into processing of e-commerce payments, such as vehicle ordering, reservations and digital and charging services.

“We’re thrilled to be the payments engine under the hood powering the next stage of Ford’s digital transformation,” said Mike Clayville, chief revenue officer at Stripe. “During the pandemic, people got comfortable paying online for groceries, health care, even home haircut advice from barbers. Now, they expect to be able to buy anything and everything online. Ford is making e-commerce possible, too, and scaling that strategy with Stripe’s help.”

Rollout of Stripe technology is expected to begin in the second half of 2022, starting in North America.

Combining technology, scale-up capabilities, and capital to power chang

By Rodrigo P. Navarro and Michael Kolk, Arthur D. Little

Shifting from fossil fuels to a more sustainable future relies on battery power, leading to tremendous activity across the battery sector.

With expanding demand comes emerging disruptive and evolutionary players, an increase in corporate investment and partnerships, and institutional investors looking to back the right players.

Realising the strategic importance of batteries, Western governments are aiming to build their own ecosystems, competing (and collaborating) with Asian leaders. So, what will the battery ecosystem of tomorrow look like?

To discuss current and future trends, Arthur D. Little (ADL) brought together representatives of established and emerging players. This Viewpoint provides a high-level summary of the discussion.

The battery ecosystem and the green gambit

Key trends are changing the traditional rules of play as the world shifts to a sustainable, greener future. We are now at the tipping point, where taking risks has become a vital necessity for corporates, start-ups, and investors. We call this the “Green Gambit,” with transformation being driven by:

Increased government action, funding, and sustained commitments. — Greater investor appetite to finance green projects and technologies. — Wider use of novel financing and partnership methods by corporates to realise their green objectives. — Rapid evolution of technology and innovation ecosystems, bringing previously disparate players together.

The three fundamental building blocks for change (sustainable capital, winning technology, and scale-up capabilities) are now in place, all facilitated and orchestrated by active, expanding ecosystems.

When it comes to batteries, the market is seeing a seemingly unstoppable increase in the use of Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries led by electric vehicles (EVs), and a correspondingly steep drop in price.

According to Bloomberg, demand is expected to rise from less than 500 GWh to more than 1,800 GWh by 2030, with the costs of battery packs falling from US $1,100/kWh in 2010 to ~$60/kWh by 2030.

This virtuous cycle of demand driving down cost is spreading to other sectors beyond automotive EVs as well, including industrial mobility, energy storage systems, and drones/flying vehicles.

To meet growing needs and deliver on sustainable goals and targets, challenges must be overcome. The clock is ticking — the scale-up of battery technology, manufacturing, and ecosystems takes time, meaning that players must act now to guarantee an effective energy transition.

To understand the challenges and opportunities, ADL brought together key players from across the battery industry. We would like to thank our panellists for sharing their insights:

Bob Galyen, founder, Galyen Energy; former CTO, CATL — Terje Andersen, cofounder and CEO, Morrow Batteries — Qichao Hu, founder and CEO, SES — Thomas Jansseune, Senior VP, Umicore

The discussion focused on four key themes:

The rise of localised ecosystems. — The need to partner across the value chain to achieve scale. — Coping with a fragmented technology future. — Unlocking new sources of funding.

1. The rise of localised ecosystems

Asia currently dominates battery ecosystems, but Europe and the US are both investing heavily and strategically to catch up.

This has been spurred by increased political concerns about over-reliance on Asian/Chinese suppliers and exacerbated by supply chain disruptions resulting from COVID-19, along with a realisation that local battery production creates jobs and is critical to a functioning local industrial base, particularly in the automotive sector.

Europe and the US have different, often complementary, strengths:

Europe, supported heavily by EU and national government funding, can draw on leading players in the automotive, science, energy/chemicals, and industrial sectors.

The US is a hotbed for disruptive start-ups, with a s...

Data privacy laws have been witnessing a rapid escalation for the past few years all across the globe. Privacy laws 2021 and privacy trends 2022 are proofs of that. We can expect to see the rate with which privacy laws burgeon rise in the coming years. Analysts indicate that about 65% of the total population of the world will see itself being under the influence of modern privacy laws and regulations by the year 2023. However, some important factors of data privacy regulations to consider here are the business obligations, scope, data protection, and data privacy volumes that vary by different regulations introduced around the world. This consequently makes the strength of each of the frameworks different.

As of the end of 2021, almost all the countries in the world have implemented or at least introduced data privacy laws of some sort that modulate the collection of information and the ways in which the individuals to whom the data belongs are notified about it. Another aspect that most of the regulations address are the amount of control the individuals that are subject to the data have over it after the transfer of information is carried out. Prohibitions, lawsuits, and fines are some common penalties across regulations imposed in case of inability to follow the data privacy that is applicable. Let us take a closer look at some of the most major privacy laws 2021 across regions.

Privacy Laws 2021

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you collect any sort of data from your European customers, you are subject to the data security standards and data privacy regulations that GDPR features. The law drafted in the EU is known as a pioneer that transformed simple guidelines into privacy laws. GDPR holds businesses accountable in case of any hacking events taking place or if the data of consumers leaks. These may be caused by improper communication practices or mismanagement of third-party apps.

GDPR’s privacy laws 2021 feature the following highlights:

Businesses are solely responsible for the collection and processing of data.

Stand-alone solutions are an inappropriate approach for online businesses that have third-party integrations.

Third-party vendors or data processors are not liable for any data privacy mishap, but it is the companies that accumulate and store the data.

California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA)

Customers or potential customers that are based in California are protected by CCPA. It seeks to allow users enhanced control over their data and has a strict requirement for businesses to offer an opt-out option for their consumers.

Here are the highlights of CCPA as it stands in 2021:

All companies should include a clearly-visible button on the homepage of their websites that says “Do Not Sell.”

CCPA demands businesses to establish proper service-level agreements with their third-party vendors as it holds companies accountable for all kinds of data privacy mishaps.

It is significantly similar to GDPR on almost all fronts.

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

All the healthcare facilities in the United States are regulated by HIPAA. It looks to secure and protect the information related to the personal health of individuals and lays out privacy laws that dictate rules pertaining to the disclosure of the PHI (Protected Health Information). Furthermore, it also deals with the transactions and records in the healthcare industry and their maintenance.

Here are the key takeaways of HIPAA:

The regulations and careful guidelines of HIPAA are universal and applicable across industries. It identifies a set of role management, employee permission, and data security regulations along with its robust data privacy laws.

All the loose ends that can potentially cause exposure of sensitive information need to be analyzed under HIPAA by all healthcare institutions. All businesses need to carry out a comprehensive risk analysis to uncover bottlenecks that can cause trouble in regard to data privacy.

Leading retailer and wholesaler, BWG Foods, has become the first grocery retailer in Ireland to spearhead an intelligent ordering platform, ShopLink Pro, developed by US-based AI leader R4 Technologies, as part of a new pilot scheme taking place across its retail network.

Traditional ordering platforms rely on past data, creating a replenishment-based order by analysing what has sold, taking into account safety stock in order to predict what retailers should purchase.

However, this pioneering solution, built onto BWG Foods’ award-winning ecommerce system, ShopLink Pro, continually uses predictive intelligence to make daily forecasts for retailers based on what consumers will wish to purchase in the future.

ShopLink Pro will be trialled in 22 stores within the BWG Foods retail estate and on successful completion, the business will look to provide the solution to independent retailers across its network of more than 1,000 SPAR, EUROSPAR, MACE, LONDIS, and XL stores nationwide.

Overlaying an artificial intelligence (AI) module to the existing retail platform, ShopLink Pro processes the EPOS Data from the full retail network while gathering 240 additional data points, from weather and local events to social media as well as demographic and census data. The system uses the data to compile an analysis of predicted consumer demand for in-store products, allowing for smarter forecasting of stock requirements.

Additionally, the solution takes into account business promotions and category management to deliver a 21-day, 14 day and 7-day sales forecast. Retailers will benefit from the creation of a fully automated daily replenishment order of goods, and the system also suggests new products to specific stores to enhance their sales and meet local consumer needs.

Using the most advanced AI platform and suite of algorithms available in the market, R4 have designed the solution to support cost savings in the retail sector, deliver more effective category management and ensure retailers can consistently meet the demand of customers by taking advantage of opportunities arising locally.

ShopLink Pro will also provide BWG Foods with a complete view of the demand for products across its supply chain in a way that was never available previously. The solution will be fully integrated with the retailers’ existing ShopLink platform, following an upskilling programme for retailers to get the best from the solution.

Commenting on the launch of the solution, BWG Foods Chief Information Officer Chris Donnelly said: “ShopLink Prohas the potential to be a real game changer for our retailers in 2022, transforming how they manage their offerings by understanding what their customers will wish to purchase in the near future. This is a really exciting proposition that brings an added layer of intelligence to better understand what our customers are looking for across different regions and environments in Ireland at any given time.

“There is huge potential for this solution to transform our operations in relation to category management and product waste, logistics, stock management and to create a genuinely tailored in-store experience that is capable of changing with demand with intelligent predictions and forecasting. It also has the potential to change the consumer’s shopping experience with offerings that are highly tailored to their unique needs, ultimately leading to better satisfied customers.”

Joining the show this week is Tim Bos, founder and CEO of ShareRing, a blockchain-based company that’s focused on changing the landscape of the fragmented sharing economy. In this chat, Tim and Pete Townsend talk through Tim’s crystal ball-like experiences in deep tech in the ‘90s, how being a third-time founder has shaped his view of the blockchain space, adapting all of this incredible technology at our fingertips into real-world scenarios, and what makes a great Web3 project.

This episode was originally recorded as part of the Techstars Web3 Convo Series of fireside chats powered by the Launchpool Web3 Techstars Accelerator program in Ireland.

This episode of MoneyNeverSleeps is sponsored by Philip Lee, one of Ireland’s fastest-growing corporate law firms and expert advisors at the heart of the Dublin and London start-up, fintech and crypto communities.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Tim Bos on the predictive nature of his earliest experiences in distributed computing in the ‘90’s:

“I’ve always approached things from the perspective of a problem that needs to be solved. We were developing an alien-themed video game and I needed to work out a way to render the 30-second intro sequences as quickly as possible with 3D animation. Back then in the mid-nineties, you couldn’t do the real-time rendering that you can now, as the servers just weren’t good enough.

“I looked into a whole load of technology, and I was always more of an infrastructure person, but I worked out that distributed computing was how we’d do it. We set up a farm that had 30 or 40 computers all networked together that would share the code in doing very difficult computations to render these 3D animations.

“They would do one scene at a time, and it was spread across all these computers. We managed to get it done, and through that process, I thought that this is something that we shouldn’t have to do in-house. Imagine if we could distribute this out amongst computers around the world and pay for computer time to do all of that.

“So, when a friend of mine taught me about Bitcoin around 2010, it fascinated me. The idea of these distributed computers around the world, solving these difficult mathematical problems to be part of this consensus of a new digital currency just fascinated me.

“I started mining bitcoin [in 2010] just purely out of my interest in the technology, and that’s what initially got me into cryptocurrency. I mined it for a while and had quite a lot of it stored on a hard disk somewhere, but I have no idea where it is now – I probably deleted it or it’s in a tip (dump) somewhere.

“That’s really the early beginnings of my fascination with distributed computing.”

Tim Bos on how ShareRing has evolved since launching in 2018:

“We established ShareRing in 2018 off the back of a concept that I created back in 2013 for a platform for the sharing economy, which is an industry built on trust. We use the platform that we’ve developed and the ecosystem that we’re developing to help create that world built on trust.

“What we’re doing now is taking a lot of aspects that we started building in 2018, but really expanding that to be able to provide frictionless access to goods and services, anytime and in any way.

“This involves things like when you book your hotel, you don’t have to enter all your details again, you can check into the hotel without having to queue up and hand your passport over. You can open a bank account without having to go to the bank and fill out forms. You can access an event with a simple scan of a QR code, but by scanning a QR code, you’re proving who you are, that you’ve got a ticket and that you’re vaccinated.”

“Since 2018, we spent a lot of time looking at identity and our ShareRing Vault, which is the vault with verifiable documents with verifiable credentials all stored on your phone. It’s a self-sovereign system using blockchain technology to verify the information hasn’t changed and to verify its validity.

“We’re now working on applying the technolo...

Jamil learns more about building bright digital futures for young women in Afghanistan through coding, with Fereshteh Forough and Code to Inspire. See more about her projects here.

Digital futures in Afghanistan for women, Fereshteh Forough Code to Inspire

Fereshteh Forough was born a refugee in Iran after her family fled Afghanistan because of the Soviet invasion. Despite the family’s circumstances, Fereshteh’s parents instilled in her and her siblings the value of education from an early age. Her mother sewed clothing to sell in order to earn money to buy school supplies for the children so they can go to school. When Fereshteh was a teen, the Taliban regime collapsed and Fereshteh and her family moved back to Herat, Afghanistan. After returning to Herat, she earned her Bachelor’s in Computer Science. She later earned her Master’s from Technical University of Berlin in Germany.

She returned to Herat University to join the Computer Science faculty, where she taught for almost three years. In 2015, she established Code to Inspire, the first computer coding school for girls in Afghanistan.Leading all aspects of operations and fundraising remotely CTI educated more than 350 students so far in coding and graphic design classes. Fereshteh remains focused on a vision of a future for her homeland where young women play a prominent role in the economy and future success. Fereshteh is a pioneer in adopting blockchain and cryptocurrency technology in Afghanistan.

“Where there is ruin, there is hope for treasure” – Rumi

And, you are providing this hope.

“The first ever salary I received through my coding skills was an unforgettable feeling. I was jumping around and wanted to fly. I am so happy that I can make money by myself and I am so grateful to CTI of helping to make this happen.”

– Arezo Akrami, Web Developer

Donors like you have made these unforgettable feelings possible. You are the hope for treasure in the shattered lives of women in Afghanistan. But, women like Arezo couldn’t fly without you.

Your gifts invest in education that continues to train even more young women like Arezo, preparing them for certification exams and connecting them to meaningful employment after they graduate. By doing this, you are helping Arezo support her family and contribute to a bright future.
