CGTN: China aims to become an innovation powerhouse

BEIJING, June 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — From the compass, papermaking, printing and gunpowder – the four great inventions of ancient China – to manned submersible Jiaolong, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Mars probe Tianwen-1, China has always embraced the creative spirit and innovative vitality of its people.

“Innovation is the soul driving a nation’s progress and an inexhaustible source of a country’s prosperity. It is also an essential part of the Chinese national character,” Chinese President Xi Jinping said during a discussion with a group of outstanding young people from all walks of life on May 4, 2013.

He added that this is what an ancient saying meant: “If you can in one day renew yourself, do so day after day. Then there will be daily renewal.”

Innovation boom

Over the past few years, China has made significant moves to bolster its innovative capacity, with its strengths in science and technology steadily improving in terms of major indicators.

China ranked 14th among more than 100 economies worldwide in a benchmark innovation ranking in 2020, and is the only middle-income economy included in the top 30 for seven years, according to the index released by the World Intellectual Property Organization last September.

“China has established itself as an innovation leader, with high ranks in important metrics including patents, utility models, trademarks, industrial designs, and creative goods exports,” a press release from the index said.

The central government’s funding for basic research has doubled over the past five years, and the funding is estimated at 6.16 percent of its total research and development (R&D) expenditure in 2020, according to Wang Zhigang, minister of science and technology.

The contribution rate of scientific and technological progress to economic growth is expected to reach 60 percent in 2020, according to an official projection by the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Several notable high-tech achievements have been made in recent years. The Chang’e-5 probe brought back the country’s first samples collected from the moon, while China’s first Mars rover started exploring the red planet.

The country is moving fast to develop its large passenger aircraft and magnetic-levitation train, while industries related to digital economy, 5G, artificial intelligence, and electric vehicles are thriving.

To be a leading innovator with self-reliance

According to China’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035, innovation should be taken as the core of China’s modernization drive, and self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology should be given top priority as a strategic support role.

In the face of intense international competition, and against the backdrop of growing unilateralism and protectionism, President Xi stressed self-reliance and self-strengthening in the country’s science and technology development at a meeting on May 28.

Xi urged China’s sci-tech professionals to assume the responsibilities of the times and strive for sci-tech self-reliance and self-strengthening at higher levels.

Sci-tech breakthroughs should tackle the most pressing issues with a focus on meeting the country’s needs, both urgent and long-term ones, Xi said.

As China transforms from the world factory to a globe innovator, the 14th Five-Year Plan states that the following areas will be the country’s focus for the next five to 15 years, including artificial intelligence, quantum information, integrated circuit, life and health, brain science, bio-breeding, aerospace, and deep-earth and deep-sea explorations.

China will invest more in basic research during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period, with funding expected to reach over 8 percent of all R&D expenditure, according to the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Véritable innovation au service de la santé des femmes, le système Nuewa I9 de Mindray élève la capacité de balayage à des niveaux inégalés en combinant un design innovant et une qualité d’imagerie exceptionnelle avec les dernières technologies.

Inspiring Women’s Healthcare: Mindray Unveils Nuewa I9, a New OB/GYN Diagnostic Ultrasound System

« Nuewa I9 offre une expérience d’échographie inégalée dans sa catégorie. Chaque fonctionnalité et chaque innovation ont été conçues délibérément pour répondre aux défis quotidiens des cliniciens spécialisés en obstétrique/gynécologie. Le résultat est une solution intelligente, complète, pour des soins extraordinairement efficaces, qui couvre l’ensemble du continuum, de la pré-grossesse à l’obstétrique et au post-partum », a déclaré He Xujin, directeur général de la division dédiée à l’imagerie médicale de Mindray.

Le système Nuewa I9 bénéficie d’un design étudié pour une convivialité optimale. Rabattable en hauteur, doté d’un corps compact, le système peut passer facilement les portes pour un accès rapide dans les départements. Parallèlement, le panneau de commande iConsole novateur, spécifique aux examens, est optimisé pour s’adapter à différents scénarios cliniques, et ses touches E-ink peuvent être facilement personnalisées pour les fonctions les plus fréquemment utilisées.

L’ensemble de la solution est alimenté par la plateforme révolutionnaire ZST+ de Mindray, qui fait fi des limites classiques fondées sur le compromis pour fournir une qualité d’image exceptionnelle sur des solutions d’imagerie sans cesse améliorées, aux possibilités inépuisables.

L’une des innovations majeures du système Nuewa I9 de Mindray est Smart Scene 3D, une technique de balayage volumique orientée scénario qui permet l’identification automatique des caractéristiques des tissus et fournit un diagnostic spécifique à un organe. La technologie sous-tend l’ensemble de la procédure d’examen, en commençant par l’identification automatique des scénarios cliniques, puis exploite l’automatisation à chaque point, de l’optimisation de l’imagerie à l’acquisition de plans, la quantification et la création d’un flux de travail automatisé. Par conséquent, le système Nuewa I9 allège la charge de travail de l’opération manuelle, réduit le temps d’acquisition pour les patients et fournit un diagnostic vraiment facile, précis et rapide.

Le système Nuewa I9 rend également les interactions 3D/4D extrêmement intuitives avec un nombre réduit de réglages de bouton. Les cliniciens n’ont qu’à cliquer et à choisir l’effet souhaité pour différents scénarios d’application, tels que « Routine », « iLive », « Bone » (pour les os), « Tissue » (pour les tissus) et « Follicle » (pour les follicules). Les paramètres d’imagerie prédéfinis ont été intégrés au système pour optimiser les effets d’imagerie volumique et faciliter l’utilisation dans tous les scénarios cliniques possibles en obstétrique/gynécologie.

Alliance to set up AI-powered financial wellness platform in the MENA region

Dubai, UAE; June 9, 2021:, June 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Social Loan Company (TSLC), a Singapore-based AI/ML-powered cutting-edge big data-driven credit enablement platform company, has forged a transformational partnership with Aafaq Islamic Finance to set up a trend-setting non-bank, mobile-first loan platform to deliver financial access to the underserved young digital natives in the MENA region. At a press conference at The Waldorf Astoria Dubai International Financial Centre, the two parties announced plans to launch the industry-leading platform across chosen markets in the region to deliver appropriate, affordable, accessible, and differentiated financial solutions to drive the inclusion of credit-thin, new-to-credit, and credit-invisible everyday consumers.

Rashed Mahboob Al Qubaisi, CEO of Aafaq Islamic Finance said: “We are pleased that Aafaq was selected by TSLC as a strategic partner in the MENA region. This partnership allows Aafaq to connect more deeply with its customers by providing differentiated Sharia-compliant financial transactions in an environment that is end-to-end digital, safe and secure.”

Al Qubaisi pointed out that “what distinguishes this new partnership between Aafaq and TSLC is the new possibility of extending our client base to include the young and underserved digital natives in this region.”

“TSLC is looking to usher in a new era of Artificial Intelligence-based financial services in the MENA region. There is no doubt that our current and future customers will reap rich rewards from the formidable combination of our legacy infrastructure with their proven expertise and track record of success in financial technology,” added Al Qubaisi.

Deepak Saluja, Co-Founder, Group CEO & Board Member, TSLC said: “At TSLC we are laser-focused on bringing in strong in-house R&D and building a unique technology-based, big data-driven, mobile-only digital-first alternative global financial services organisation. To launch in the Middle East, we needed a super-progressive institution with an impeccable track record, connected with us on a common mission to bring the underserved, everyday consumers into mainstream banking. Our partnership with Aafaq is a testimony to our global advocation of a JV-driven win-win model of co-operation between incumbents and challengers. Our hyper-inclusive proprietary platform, nuanced for this region, is designed to serve the moderate income, near-prime consumers. This transformational partnership is expected to bring about a paradigm shift in the fundamentals of credit assessment and delivery, anchored on the joint objective of building a more inclusive financial system.”

He added: “Together with Aafaq, we will redefine the financial landscape, transform the world of online lending in the Middle East and fundamentally change the way everyday people approach their relationship with money and banking in this region. We are proud to have partnered with Aafaq as our Social-Loan Partner, as we recognise a shared commitment to building a mission-driven enterprise that can help transform traditional financial services for the average-income underserved consumers in this region. Our ground-breaking ML-powered alternate data-driven credit-scoring engine will enable faster and better credit decisions, lower the barriers of borrowing and deliver access to honest, affordable and transparent credit.

TSLC recently set up Digital Collective Technologies Ltd., its wholly-owned subsidiary in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) for its centralized world-class tech and product leadership teams to operate from its regional headquarters at One Central, Dubai, UAE.

TSLC is currently fully functional in India as an end-to-end tech enabled, integrated, fully-automated diversified millennial consumer finance company under the brand name, CASHe – India’s leading consumer lending platform supported with proprietary AI-driven underwriting, and straddling the entire value chain of digital lending from in-app loans to embedded finance and BNPL. TSLC is on an ambitious global expansion drive, looking at key markets in West, South and Southeast Asia, as well as Latin America and Sub Saharan Africa.

Saluja added, “UAE’s regulatory framework is designed to foster innovation within this region. Given that MENA region has amongst the highest smartphone penetration and Fintech adoption rates in the world, going end-to-end digital has moved from being a side-show to the front and centre as a ‘must-have’ and a key strategic imperative to help achieve the digital transformation in the most holistic way possible. We are here for the long haul, committed to building a top-notch centralised tech innovation and R&D centre in this region and leading from the front of the battlelines to contribute significantly to the fintech landscape and help achieve breakthrough growth in the digital transformation of this region.

TSLC and Aafaq will enable Personal Loans, Pay Later and Virtual Credit Lines all in one digital wallet. Bundled-in, splitable and consumable within minutes of origination designed for middle-income borrowers who need help with essential day-to-day purchase decisions, paying down and consolidating high interest debt, or to meet unexpected expenses. The partnership will be committed to democratising access to banking tools to secure affordable credit, borrow and spend responsibly, build wealth and save smartly, all within a hyper-inclusive platform.

Saluja added, “We are proud to have partnered with Aafaq as our Social Loan Partner as we recognise a shared commitment to building a mission-driven, futuristic, open-banking-ready platform that can help transform traditional financial services and improve economic freedom for the clear whitespace of average-income, underserved consumers in this region. The TSLC competitive advantage resides in our scalable and portable tech infrastructure, culture, talent, track record of sustained execution and operational insights. We are on a mission to democratise banking and credit, and make it more inclusive leveraging digital and AI. Traditional brick and mortar banks have left large segments of population underserved. We aim to rewrite the relationship with money and banking for the digital natives as longer-term partners on their journey to financial independence.”

TSLC is rethinking the fundamentals of banking, leveraging newer alternative sources of data to better predict credit risk and repayment behaviours, thus aiming to open up and offer almost the full banking experience to mainstream consumers. In India it reinvented underwriting for millennials seeking access to affordable credit via appropriately packaged in-app solutions. Over the past 4 years since inception, its flagship embedded lending brand, CASHe, has had a phenomenal upward trajectory.

Saluja concluded, “By taking many of the same operating principles and DNA and applying it to a much broader set of financial products and targeted demographics across large underpenetrated markets, we can now have an even bigger positive effect on customers to help change and improve their lives.”

SAN DIEGO, June 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cloudbeds, the fastest growing hospitality management platform, announced the launch of a fully integrated payments solution and a new Financial Services division in the US, Canada, UK, and EU. Cloudbeds Payments is a robust payment solution that provides hoteliers an affordable and efficient method of managing all types of payments. Cloudbeds Payments features a state-of-the-art terminal, transparent fees, built-in reporting, analytics, security, and world-class (in-house) support that hoteliers need to focus on their guests rather than time-consuming payments acceptance and reconciliation.

A video accompanying this announcement is available at

https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/8a6b2363-8d1b-4e56-9a1c-44eeda1b9bfb

Typically, hospitality payment solutions are complicated and are time-consuming, which impacts guest relations with inconsistent and slow customer service while consuming too much hoteliers’ time with management and reconciliation. Hoteliers can now avoid manual card entry and lengthy verification processes with third-party vendors. Instead, payments are quick, easy, and completely integrated into the Cloudbeds platform.

“The best part about Cloudbeds Payments is that it’s fully integrated into their existing interface,” says Tarek, Finance Manager, Convo 212 in Athens, Greece. “My guests pay directly on my website and it’s immediately reflected in their reservation and on our reports. It accepts all credit card payments, handles the verification process and makes reconciliation a breeze.”

“Our previous payments process was very lengthy – manual card entry, the verification process, reconciliation, chargebacks, disputes – it took too much time and effort. Cloudbeds Payments helped us speed up every aspect of the customer payment process. It’s easy and efficient for guests to book and for us to manage,” remarks Austin, Property Manager at Rancho Caymus Inn in Napa Valley, California. “Cloudbeds Payments saves our staff so much time.”

In keeping with its focus of innovating to help hoteliers build revenue, save time, and increase guest satisfaction, the Cloudbeds’ Financial Services division has built a next-generation solution that will save properties 10 to 15 hours per month in reconciliations. In addition to its world-class support team, Cloudbeds Payments offers an in-house dispute management team composed of industry experts who intimately understand the hospitality business to better support hoteliers and guests. Cloudbeds expects to roll out Payments to additional countries in the upcoming months, including Australia, Brazil, and New Zealand.

“Cloudbeds is on a mission to empower lodging businesses with every tool they need to emerge from the pandemic successfully,” says Richard Castle, Co-Founder, and COO. “Cloudbeds creates a seamless experience that elevates every aspect of their business – from how their staff operates to their guest experience. Our payments solution is the first of several upcoming financial services designed to help lodging businesses spend more time with their guests and less time managing their property.”

Geralmente, as soluções de pagamento costumam ser complicadas e exigem tempo, impactando o seu relacionamento com seus hóspedes com um serviço de atendimento ao cliente lento e inconsistente, demandando muito tempo do hoteleiro com o gerenciamento e reconciliação. Agora, os hoteleiros podem parar de inserir manualmente os dados do cartão e não precisarão passar por processos demorados de verificação com provedores externos. Ao invés disso, os pagamentos se tornaram simples, rápidos e 100% integrados à sua plataforma da Cloudbeds.

A Cloudbeds Payments nos ajudou a acelerar todos os aspectos do processo de pagamento do cliente. É fácil e eficaz para os hóspedes realizarem suas reservas conosco e para nós gerenciarmos os pagamentos.” afirma Austin, Gerente da Propriedade Rancho Caymus Inn em Napa Valley, Califórnia “A Cloudbeds Payments faz a nossa equipe poupar muito tempo.”

Cloudbeds présente une nouvelle solution de paiement pour rationaliser davantage les opérations hôtelières

La solution de paiement entièrement intégrée, simple et sécurisée est désormais disponible aux États-Unis, au Canada, en Europe et au Royaume-Uni, pour faire gagner du temps et de l’argent aux hôteliers.

SAN DIEGO, Californie, 09 juin 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cloudbeds, la plateforme de gestion hôtelière à la croissance la plus rapide, a annoncé le lancement d’une solution de paiement entièrement intégrée et d’une nouvelle division de services financiers aux États-Unis, au Canada, au Royaume-Uni et dans l’UE. Cloudbeds Payments est une solution de paiement robuste qui offre aux hôteliers une méthode abordable et efficace de gestion de tous les types de paiements. Cloudbeds Payments propose un terminal à la pointe de la technologie, des frais transparents, des rapports intégrés, des analyses, une sécurité et une assistance de classe mondiale (en interne) pour que les hôteliers puissent se concentrer sur leurs clients plutôt que sur l’acceptation et la réconciliation des paiements qui prend du temps.

Une vidéo accompagnant ce communiqué est disponible à :

https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/8a6b2363-8d1b-4e56-9a1c-44eeda1b9bfb/fr

En règle générale, les solutions de paiement d’hospitalité sont complexes et prennent du temps, ce qui a un impact sur les relations des clients avec un service client incohérent et lent tout en prenant trop de temps pour les hôteliers avec la gestion et la réconciliation. Les hôteliers peuvent désormais éviter la saisie manuelle des cartes et les longs processus de vérification avec des fournisseurs tiers. Au lieu de cela, les paiements sont rapides, faciles et complètement intégrés à la plateforme Cloudbeds.

«La meilleure partie de Cloudbeds Payments est qu’il est entièrement intégré à leur interface existante», déclare Tarek, directeur financier de Convo 212 à Athènes, en Grèce. «Mes clients paient directement sur mon website et cela se reflète immédiatement dans leur réservation et sur nos rapports. Il accepte tous les paiements par carte de crédit, gère le processus de vérification et facilite le rapprochement.»

«Notre processus de paiement précédent était très long – saisie manuelle des cartes, processus de vérification, rapprochement, rétrofacturation, litiges – cela prenait trop de temps et d’efforts. Cloudbeds Payments nous a aidé à accélérer tous les aspects du processus de paiement client. C’est facile et efficace pour les clients de réserver et pour nous de gérer», remarque Austin, Property Manager au Rancho Caymus Inn à Napa Valley, Californie. «Cloudbeds Payments fait gagner beaucoup de temps à notre personnel.»

Fidèle à son objectif d’innover pour aider les hôteliers à générer des revenus, à gagner du temps et à accroître la satisfaction des clients, la division des services financiers de Cloudbeds a développé une solution de nouvelle génération qui permettra aux établissements de gagner 10 à 15 heures par mois lors de rapprochements. En plus de son équipe d’assistance de classe mondiale, Cloudbeds Payments propose une équipe interne de gestion des litiges composée d’experts du secteur qui comprennent intimement le secteur de l’hôtellerie pour mieux soutenir les hôteliers et les clients. Cloudbeds prévoit de déployer les paiements dans d’autres pays dans les mois à venir, notamment l’Australie, le Brésil et la Nouvelle-Zélande.

«Cloudbeds a pour mission de donner aux entreprises d’hébergement tous les outils dont elles ont besoin pour sortir de la pandémie avec succès», déclare Richard Castle, cofondateur et COO. «Cloudbeds a crée une expérience transparente qui élève tous les aspects de leur entreprise – du fonctionnement de leur personnel à l’expérience du client. Notre solution de paiement est le premier de plusieurs services financiers à venir conçus pour aider les entreprises d’hébergement à passer plus de temps avec leurs clients et moins de temps à gérer leur propriété.»

‫TargEDys تُعلِن عن نشر أول تجربة سريرية عشوائية مزدوجة التعمية خاضعة للتحكم الوهمي تُظهِر فعالية “هافنيا ألفي” بمستوى غير مسبوق في إنقاص الوزن والشبع

لوجيمو، فرنسا، 9 يونيو 2021 — /PRNewswire/ أعلنت شركة TargEDys الفرنسية للتكنولوجيا الحيوية والمتخصصة في الحلول القائمة على الميكروبات البشرية (الميكروبيوم) عن نشر دراستها التي أُجريت على 230 بالغًا يعانون من زيادة الوزن لمدة 12 أسبوعًا، مما يؤكد فعالية المعين الحيوي (البروبيوتيك) الدقيق هافنيا ألفي ®HA4597 في تحسين فقدان الوزن وتقليل محيط الوِرك ومعايير التمثيل الغذائي بفضل تأثير المعينات الحيوية (البروبيوتيك) والمستقلب الحيوي الخاص بها (جين ClpB) في الشعور بالامتلاء.

TargEDys - From probiotics to Precibiomics - TargEDys engine of innovation

أظهرت الدراسات الميكانيكية وقبل السريرية أن هافنيا ألفي قادر على إنتاج إنزيم البروتياز B الكازيني، وهو بروتين يحاكي هرمون الشبع المنبه للخلايا الميلانية-ألفا، ويقلل من تناول الطعام في نماذج الفئران التي تعاني من السمنة.  وتؤكد هذه النتائج الجديدة فعالية السلالة ما قبل الحيوية (™PreciBiomi) في دعم الشعور بالامتلاء وفقدان الوزن في الأشخاص الذين يعانون من زيادة الوزن، بالإضافة إلى تقليل محيط الوِرك ونسبة السكر في الدم.

ومع فقدان الوزن بمعدل 3.6٪ خلال 12 أسبوعًا في مجموعة البروبيوتيك، فإن هافنيا ألفي أكثر فعالية بشكل كبير من أي بروبيوتيك آخر تمت دراسته في إدارة الوزن، وهذا المستوى من التأثير يملأ الفجوة بين قطاعات المكملات الغذائية والأدوية.  كما أنه يقود الابتكار في مجال البروبيوتيك، ويحول النهج إلى البروبيوتيك الدقيق، مع فعالية معززة بفضل الفهم الدقيق لآلية العمل الجزيئية.

هافنيا ألفي يمكن العثور عليه في منتجات إنتيروساتيس® وساتيليا® في فرنسا والبرتغال وإيطاليا وسلوفينيا، كما تبحث TargEDys عن شركاء توزيع من أجل جعل هذا الحل المبتكر للغاية للوقاية من السمنة متاحًا للمستهلكين في جميع أنحاء العالم.

ويصرح جريجوري لامبرت، الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة TargEDys:

“سيكون هذا مغيرًا لقواعد اللعبة في قطاع إدارة الوزن، مع حل يلبي توقعات المستهلكين أخيرًا من حيث السلامة والطبيعية، مع تحقيق فعالية حقيقية ومثبَتة على أساس المحاكاة الجزيئية والتنظيم الكيميائي الحيوي للشهية”.

حول شركة ® TargEDys

تُعَد ®TargEDys بمثابة تكنولوجيا حيوية فرنسية في المرحلة التجارية متخصصة في تطوير حلول التغذية للتحكم في الشهية من خلال تدخلات الميكروبيوم.  الشركة هي ثمرة 15 عامًا من الأبحاث حول الكائنات الحية الدقيقة (الميكروبيوتا) والتي أُجريت داخل المختبرات الأكاديمية.  وقد طورت الشركة وبدأت في تسويق أول منتج لها قائم على السلالة ما قبل الحيوية وهو هافنيا ألفي ™HA4597، كما تُطوِّر مجموعة منتجات تُركِّز على زيادة الوزن ونقص التغذية والصحة العقلية، وكلها قائمة على مفهوم السلالات ما قبل الحيوية المدعومة بآلية جزيئية للعمل وبدراسات في الجسم الحي.

‫تعزز شركة بروتيفتي ريادتها كمستشار لعمليات الاندماج والاستحواذ في دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي من خلال إتمام إحدى الصفقات الكبرى في قطاع الاتصالات

لعبت بروتيفتي دورًا جوهريًا في إتمام الصفقة بين شركة “زاجل الدولية للاتصالات”، وهي إحدى الشركات الرائدة في تكنولوجيا المعلومات والاتصالات في دولة الكويت، وشركة “كلام تيليكوم” التي استحوذت عليها بنسبة 100%

الكويت, 9 يونيو / حزيران 2021 /PRNewswire/ —  أعلنت شركة “كلام تيليكوم”، وهي إحدى الشركات المزودة لحلول التكنولوجيا في مملكة البحرين، عن استحواذها على شركة “زاجل الدولية للاتصالات” بنسبة 100%، وهي شركة رائدة في تقديم خدمات تكنولوجيا المعلومات والاتصالات ومقرها في دولة الكويت، وكانت شركة بروتيفتي ممبر فيرم لمنطقة الشرق الأوسط (www.protiviti.com/KW-en)  هي المستشار الحصري لعمليات الاندماج والاستحواذ لشركة “زاجل الدولية للاتصالات” في هذه الصفقة، والتي تُقدر بأنها أكبر صفقة تم إبرامها في مجال تكنولوجيا المعلومات والاتصالات (ICT) في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا خلال السنوات الثلاث الماضية.

وأكد السيد/سانجيف أجاروال، الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة بروتيفتي ممبر فيرم لمنطقة الشرق الأوسط، “تُمثل تكنولوجيا المعلومات والاتصالات أكثر المجالات تنافسية على مستوى العالم – وتتمتع بروتيفتي بمركز الريادة في هذا المجال. كما ساعدتنا خبرتنا بشكل كبير في وضع إستراتيجية المعاملات الصحيحة لشركة “زاجل الدولية للاتصالات” من أجل إتمام هذه الصفقة”. وأضاف سانجيف، “على مدى العامين الماضيين، كانت معظم صفقات الاندماج والاستحواذ – على مستوى العالم بشكل عام وفي منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا على وجه الخصوص، مدفوعة ليس فقط من منطلق الرغبة في زيادرة الإيرادات فحسب، ولكن أيضًا لتحقيق التحول الرقمي على نحو هائل، وسوف تتسارع وتيرة هذا الاتجاه. كما يتعين على شركات الاتصالات وشركات تكنولوجيا المعلومات والاتصالات في دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي أن تجتاز تلك المرحلة الحرجة عن طريق التوسع في الفضاء الرقمي، وتخفيف المخاطر ذات الصلة، واكتشاف القيمة الجديدة للأعمال. وتتمتع “بروتيفتي”، بما لديها من مستشارين بارزين ذوي ثقة لمعظم شركات الاتصالات الرائدة في المنطقة، بمكانة فريدة تسمح لها بمساعدة العملاء من خلال تقديم المعرفة العميقة في القطاع، والخبرة، والرؤى الثاقبة”.

وتعليقًا على هذه الصفقة، صرح السيد/ محمد عبد العزيز التويجري، رئيس مجلس إدارة شركة “زاجل الدولية للاتصالات” :على مدار الثلاثين عامًا الماضية، برزت شركة “زاجل الدولية للاتصالات” بصفتها شريك موثوق به ويمكن الاعتماد عليه للشركات والمؤسسات المالية الرائدة في منطقة دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي، وكذلك على الصعيد العالمي. ويُسعدنا أن شركة “كلام تيليكوم” سوف تكون هي المالك الجديد لشركة “زاجل الدولية للاتصالات”، لأنني على يقين من أنهم يشاركوننا نفس الرؤية التي كانت لدينا لشركة “زاجل الدولية للاتصالات” من أجل مواصلة ريادة الشركة في تقديم خدمات تكنولوجيا المعلومات والاتصالات في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا. كما أغتنم هذه الفرصة لأشكر شركة بروتيفتي على تواجدها معنا طوال هذه الرحلة، ونحن نُثمن دعمهم ونصائحهم التي قدموها لنا خلال هذه العملية”.

كما صرح السيد/ جورج توماس، الشريك التنفيذي لخدمات المعاملات المالية، لدى شركة بروتيفتي، “كان لهذه الصفقة بعض التحديات الفريدة، بالنظر إلى اتساع نطاق عمل شركة “زاجل الدولية للاتصالات” والبيئات التنظيمية والرقابية المتعددة، وعمل الفريق الاستشاري للمعاملات في بروتيفتي عن كثب مع فريق العمل التابع لشركة “زاجل الدولية للاتصالات” وكذلك بالتعاون مع شركة “كلام تيليكوم” ومستشاريهم لضمان وجود هيكل مثالي لإتمام هذه الصفقة، والذي تم مواءمته لتلبية تطلعات جميع الأطراف المعنية”.
