Meta Precision Immersion Cooled HDD

• งานวิจัยที่รู้จักครั้งแรกเพื่อทดสอบการระบายความร้อนแบบจุ่มที่มีการควบคุมสำหรับอุปกรณ์จัดเก็บข้อมูลความจุสูง ได้แสดงให้เห็นถึงประสิทธิภาพได้สำเร็จ
• การทำงานที่เงียบอย่างแท้จริงช่วยลดปัญหาการสั่นของเสียงที่เกี่ยวข้องกับระบบระบายความร้อนด้วยอากาศ
• การนำฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์ที่ปิดผนึกไว้และบรรจุฮีเลียมมาใช้นั้น เป็นการเปิดประตูสู่การระบายความร้อนแบบจุ่มในของเหลวที่มีการควบคุมในชั้นวางอุปกรณ์จัดเก็บข้อมูลที่มีประสิทธิภาพมากขึ้น

เมืองเชฟฟิลด์ สหราชอาณาจักร, Dec. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Iceotope ซึ่งเป็นผู้นำระดับโลกด้านการระบายความร้อนแบบจุ่มในของเหลวที่มีการควบคุม ได้ประกาศการวิจัยใหม่ร่วมกับ Meta ที่ยืนยันถึงการใช้งาน ประสิทธิภาพ และประสิทธิผล ของเทคโนโลยีการระบายความร้อนด้วยของเหลวระดับโครงติดตั้ง เพื่อตอบสนองข้อกำหนดการระบายความร้อนของดิสก์จัดเก็บข้อมูลความจุสูงที่มีการติดตั้งและใช้งานเพิ่มมากขึ้นโดยผู้ให้บริการศูนย์ข้อมูลขนาดใหญ่

งานวิจัยร่วมกับ Meta ที่ตีพิมพ์ล่าสุดบ่งชี้ถึงข้อได้เปรียบจากการจัดการความร้อนที่ดีขึ้น ลดการสั่นสะเทือนและปรับอุณหภูมิให้เท่ากันทั่วทั้ง JBOD ซึ่งส่งผลโดยตรงให้มีอัตราการเสียหายและค่าใช้จ่ายที่น้อยลงแก่ผู้ประกอบธุรกิจศูนย์ข้อมูล ระบบฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์ที่บรรจุในรูปแบบโครงติดตั้งเลื่อนเข้าออกเหมาะสมอย่างยิ่งกับเทคโนโลยีการระบายความร้อนแบบจุ่มในของเหลว

Neil Edmunds ผู้อำนวยการด้านนวัตกรรมของ Iceotope กล่าวว่า “เมื่อความต้องการอุปกรณ์จัดเก็บข้อมูลยังคงสูงขึ้น ความจำเป็นของโซลูชันเพื่อระบายความร้อนให้กับอุปกรณ์อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพโดยผู้ให้บริการศูนย์ข้อมูลขนาดใหญ่ก็มากขึ้นตามไปด้วย งานวิจัยนี้แสดงให้เห็นว่าการระบายความร้อนด้วยของเหลวสำหรับอุปกรณ์จัดเก็บข้อมูลความจุสูงได้ระบายความร้อนไดรฟ์ได้สำเร็จด้วยอุณหภูมิที่น้อยลงและเสถียรมากขึ้น ทั้งยังมีการเสียหายของไดรฟ์น้อยลง TCO น้อยลง และเป็นไปตามแนวทางปฏิบัติ ESG มากขึ้น”

การแพร่ขยายของอุปกรณ์จัดเก็บข้อมูลความจุสูง
ด้วยกระแสข้อมูลที่เกิดขึ้นจากอินเทอร์เน็ตของสรรพสิ่ง วิดีโอ ปัญญาประดิษฐ์ และอื่น ๆ อีกมากมาย คาดว่าจะมีข้อมูลมากถึง 463 เอกซะไบต์ที่สร้างขึ้นโดยคนหนึ่งคนในทุก ๆ วัน ภายในปี 2568 วิธีการเข้าถึงและโต้ตอบกับข้อมูลมีการเปลี่ยนแปลงไปอย่างต่อเนื่อง ซึ่งทำให้เกิดผลกระทบอย่างแท้จริงต่อการประมวลผลและการจัดเก็บข้อมูลดังกล่าว ตามข้อมูลจาก Cybersecurity Ventures ในอีกไม่กี่ปีนี้ มีการคาดการณ์กันว่าอุปกรณ์จัดเก็บข้อมูลทั่วโลกจะมีขนาดเกินกว่า 200 เซตตะไบต์ ซึ่งครึ่งหนึ่งจะได้รับการจัดเก็บไว้ในระบบคลาวด์

ซึ่งแสดงถึงความท้าทายที่มีลักษณะเฉพาะตัวสำหรับโครงสร้างพื้นฐานด้านการจัดเก็บข้อมูลของศูนย์ข้อมูลขนาดใหญ่ ตามข้อมูลจาก Seagate ศูนย์ข้อมูลคลาวด์เลือกฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์ (HDD) แบบความจุสูงเพื่อเก็บข้อมูลของตนกว่า 90% จากปริมาณหลายเอกซะไบต์ ปกติแล้วฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์มีขนาด 3.5 นิ้ว ซึ่งฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์นี้เป็นเทคโนโลยีที่ผ่านการใช้งานและพิสูจน์แล้วว่าได้ผลดี โดยยังคงมอบการจัดเก็บข้อมูลที่คุ้มค่าเงินต่อขนาดงานที่ใหญ่กับผู้ประกอบธุรกิจศูนย์ข้อมูล รุ่นที่มีคุณภาพสูงที่สุดในปัจจุบันมีความจุ 20 เทราไบต์ แต่คาดว่าความจุสูงสุดนี้จะเพิ่มไปถึง 120 เทราไบต์ ภายในสิ้นทศวรรษนี้

การจัดเก็บข้อมูลมากขึ้นก็หมายถึงดิสก์ที่มากขึ้น ความเร็วมอเตอร์ที่สูงขึ้น และหัวอ่านที่มากขึ้น ทั้งหมดนี้หมายความว่าจะต้องมีการใช้พลังงานที่มากขึ้น เมื่อฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์ใช้พลังงานมากขึ้น ความร้อนที่เกิดขึ้นก็สูงขึ้นตามไปด้วย การนำฮีเลียมบรรจุใส่ในฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์ในช่วงทศวรรษที่ผ่านมาไม่เพียงแต่ปรับปรุงประสิทธิภาพของฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์โดยไม่ยุ่งยากเท่านั้น แต่ด้วยการปิดผนึกอุปกรณ์ในปัจจุบันนั้นเอง ก็ทำให้หนทางการใช้โซลูชันระบายความร้อนด้วยของเหลวในระบบฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์เปิดออกอีกด้วย

Meta ศึกษาการระบายความร้อนด้วยของเหลวสำหรับอุปกรณ์จัดเก็บข้อมูลความจุสูง
งานวิจัยเผยให้เห็นระบบจัดเก็บข้อมูลความจุสูงที่ระบายความร้อนด้วยอากาศ ซึ่งจัดโครงสร้างใหม่ให้ใช้ประโยชน์จากการระบายความด้วยการแช่ของเหลวระยะเดียว ระบบจัดเก็บข้อมูลเชิงพาณิชย์มาตรฐานประกอบด้วยฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์เจ็ดสิบสองตัว โหนดซ็อกเก็ตเดี่ยวสองตัว การ์ดขยาย SAS สองตัว NIC และแผงจ่ายพลังงานในรูปแบบ 4OU ฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์ได้รับการปิดผนึกอย่างมิดชิดและได้รับการเติมฮีเลียม

ระบบระบายความร้อนด้วยของเหลวที่ทดสอบไปคือระบบระบายความร้อนด้วยการแช่ของเหลวเวอร์ชันระบายความร้อนด้วยอากาศ ได้รับการดัดแปลงด้วยการเพิ่มวงจรไดอิเล็กตริกที่เชื่อมต่อกับเครื่องแลกเปลี่ยนความร้อนแบบของเหลวสู่ของเหลวและปั๊ม Meta ดำเนินการวัดความแปรผันของอุณหภูมิทั่วทั้งฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์และกำลังไฟของปั๊มระบายความร้อนในระบบระบายความร้อนด้วยอากาศและระบบระบายความร้อนด้วยของเหลว

ผลลัพธ์ข้อสรุป
งานวิจัยได้แสดงให้เห็นการระบายความร้อนแบบจุ่มในของเหลวที่มีการควบคุม เป็นวิธีระบายความร้อนให้กับชั้นวางฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์ที่มีประสิทธิภาพมากกว่า โดยมีผลลัพธ์ดังนี้:

• การใช้การระบายความร้อนแบบจุ่มในของเหลวที่มีการควบคุม ค่าแปรปวนในอุณหภูมิระหว่างฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์ทั้ง 72 ตัวนั้นมีเพียง 3 องศาเซลเซียส ไม่ว่าตำแหน่งใน JBOD จะเป็นอย่างไรก็ตาม
• การระบายความร้อนด้วยของเหลวแสดงให้เห็นว่าระบบฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์สามารถทำงานได้อย่างน่าเชื่อถือในชั้นวางฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์ที่มีอุณหภูมิน้ำเขาเข้าสูงถึง 40 องศาเซลเซียส
• พลังงานที่ใช้ในการระบายความร้อนในระดับระบบน้อยกว่า 5 เปอร์เซ็นต์ของปริมาณการใช้พลังงานทั้งหมด
• การทำงานที่เงียบอย่างแท้จริงของการระบายความร้อนด้วยของเหลว ช่วยลดปัญหาการสั่นของเสียงที่ฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์มักจะพบในโซลูชันการระบายความร้อนด้วยอากาศ

แม้ว่าการจุ่มในของเหลวเป็นทางเลือกที่เหนือกว่าดิสก์อาร์เรย์ความจุสูงที่ระบายความร้อนด้วยอากาศ แต่การระบายความร้อนด้วยของเหลวในรูปแบบอื่น เช่น แผ่นทำความเย็น ถังแช่ของเหลว การแช่ของเหลวสองระยะ ก็ไม่มีการรักษาประโยชน์ในการดำเนินการ เช่น ความจุของฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์ การเข้าถึงของผู้ใช้เพื่อความสามารถในการซ่อมบำรุงและความสามารถในการสับเปลี่ยนฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์แบบด่วนในระดับเดียวกัน

The funding will enable SafeAI to scale globally to meet the massive—and growing—demand for off-road autonomy

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SafeAI, a global leader in autonomous solutions for heavy equipment, today announced a $38 million Series B round of funding with key investors including Builders VC, McKinley Management, George Kaiser Family Foundation, and Energy Innovation Capital. Additionally, Moog Inc. joined the round as a strategic investor. SafeAI retrofits construction and mining vehicles with aftermarket hardware and proprietary autonomy software that delivers significant gains in increased worksite productivity, safety and cost savings. The company will use the funding to accelerate their autonomous vehicle technology roadmap, and to scale operations globally to service and deploy their growing customer base.

Heavy industry is an enormous global market. Based on data from Australia Mining Consultancy and Parker Bay Mining, the mining equipment industry alone is valued at close over $18 billion and expected to grow at a 7% CAGR. But, the industry is threatened by productivity inefficiencies, safety issues and delays that derail project timelines and budgets. Autonomy addresses these issues head-on by delivering greater efficiency and 24/7 productivity—yet, less than 5% of mining vehicles worldwide are leveraging it. SafeAI is designed to meet this significant and increasing demand. With its scalable retrofit approach, SafeAI enables off-road heavy equipment owners to convert—not replace—aftermarket vehicles and fleets with autonomous technology, regardless of manufacturer or vehicle type. This scalable approach is critical to supporting accessibility and faster deployment of autonomous technology, and in reducing the barriers to entry to a wider swath of market participants.

“There is a massive opportunity for autonomous technology within heavy industry; we believe SafeAI is the company to lead the charge,” said Mark Blackwell, General Partner at Builders VC. “SafeAI has developed their solution for scale and impact in a highly addressable off-road market that has an immediate need and proven traction. With a solution that is more broadly accessible to the industry, yet still powerful enough for the largest mining companies, SafeAI is set up to deliver industry transformation at scale.”

With the new capital, SafeAI is focused on scaling their global operations team to support their growing customer base and on delivering contractual milestones. In addition, the company will continue advancing development of its industry-leading autonomous technology solution and investing in its developer and engineering teams, with a particular focus on hiring top-tier talent within the autonomous vehicle engineering space, including a Chief Technology Officer to lead the efforts. SafeAI is also expanding its global footprint into new geographies to meet the growing demand for off-road autonomy.

“Moog Inc. is focused on enabling productivity, safety and sustainability when performance really matters. Our autonomy solutions transform equipment into high integrity robots, enabling autonomous operations in challenging environments,” said Joe Baldi, Director of Strategy and Partnerships for the construction sector of Moog Inc. “Through this investment in SafeAI, we can collaborate to accelerate the adoption of autonomy for heavy equipment and help companies across construction and mining realize the benefits to their operations”

The funding comes on the heels of a year of momentous growth for SafeAI, including partnerships with MACA to deploy 100 mining trucks, Siemens on a collaboration for vehicle electrification and autonomy, and Obayashi Corporation on developing solutions for construction. SafeAI has also continued to expand its staff within the U.S., Australia, Japan and India, more than doubling its headcount in 2022 to over 90 people. Additionally, the company grew its executive team this year to spearhead the next chapter of growth with new hires Anil Rachakonda, Senior Vice President (SVP) of Strategy & Partnerships, Sudhanshu Singh, Senior Vice President (SVP) of Global Operations, and Rob Song, Chief Financial Officer.

“Autonomy has existed in mining for more than two decades—but its growth has stalled when it needed to skyrocket. I founded SafeAI to change that,” said Bibhrajit Halder, founder and CEO at SafeAI. “We’ve designed a flexible, interoperable, scalable retrofit model to enable companies across heavy industry to uplevel their operations. The mining industry has been successfully implementing Autonomy on a limited scale for years. Our approach is purpose-built to finally accelerate autonomous accessibility and deployment on a significant scale. This funding is just the beginning of our next chapter of expansion and growth.”

Existing investors Autotech Ventures, Brick & Mortar Ventures, Embark Ventures, Newlab, and Vimson Group also invested in the new round of funding. To learn more about SafeAI, visit www.safeai.ai. To join SafeAI’s growing team, visit https://safeai.ai/careers/.

Basseterre, Dec. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Michael Martin has been appointed to take the helm at St Kitts and Nevis’ Citizenship by Investment Unit and lead the evolution of the country’s investment migration programme.

The twin-island nation is on a drive to enhance its Citizenship by Investment Programme, so it continues to be the benchmark of the global investor immigration industry.

The Prime Minister welcomed Martin at an event at the Citizenship by Investment Unit and expressed his excitement as Martin’s appointment, which comes at a time when the country is evolving its Citizenship by Investment Programme so that it not only attracts intelligent investors but benefits local citizens as well.

The Prime Minister also expressed his confidence in Martin who has been described as the perfect candidate to help the nation realise its goal of providing a programme that will uplift the Kittitian and Nevisian society through beneficial investment options that bring tangible value, while also offering an enriching base to international investors.

At the briefing, the new Head of the Citizenship by Investment Unit thanked the Prime Minister for trusting him with “this very important assignment” and expressed his excitement about taking on the new task.

Martin also stated that a situational analysis would be conducted to assess the status of the Unit and determine the best way forward to “maximize efficiency and effectiveness”.

“This is an operation that is very important to the development of the country, and to the people of the country. We will have to rebrand and refocus the programme, define our strategic goals, and create some new investment options that would be aligned to those strategic goals. ”

The Citizenship by Investment Programme is expected to undergo a complete evolution. Martin spoke of the strategic plans he has in store for the Unit and reiterated that the focus is on advancing the country. “We will be looking at emerging markets and redefining our target client. There must be some exclusivity to it,” he added.

St Kitts and Nevis welcomed a new administration in August that is working tirelessly to revamp the country’s citizenship by investment programme. Now, in the third iteration of its evolution, after four decades of erudition and development, St Kitts and Nevis administration is using creativity and boldness to ensure that the programme transcends to the modern age; and that the security infrastructure is enhanced and strengthened.

A local Kittian, Martin has strong financial acumen and brings a wealth of experience in strategic planning and compliance. He is touted as being the man to bring greater stability to the CBI Unit which will now have more legislative and administrative oversight.

Martin’s past experience as a service provider in the investment migration industry and his local roots make him the right candidate to understand what our external stakeholders require from us as well as knowing how we can use this programme to uplift our people.

Martin will lead a team of efficient and focused experts who will ensure that the programme increases processing efficiency and accuracy while also maintaining strong due diligence processes so that only investors of the highest calibre are accepted.

St Kitts and Nevis’ Citizenship by Investment Programme will be underpinned by three fundamental principles including sustainability, good governance and pragmatism.

The enhanced Citizenship by Investment Programme has been crafted under a sustainable model that will ensure that St Kitts and Nevis continues to be the envy of the international community by injecting high levels of integrity and administrative improvements.

The Programme is to be structured to allow for greater transparency and accountability, which make the hallmarks of a good governance framework that solidifies the foundation of any successful Citizenship by Investment Programme.

Investment options are to be tailored to align with market realities while preserving the platinum brand St Kitts and Nevis has developed and nurtured for four decades, operating the oldest Citizenship by Investment programme in the world.

Martin has served in top management positions in several companies, including the National Caribbean Insurance Company, National Bank Trust Company, and Sagicor Life Inc. He was previously a director of the Insurance Association of the Caribbean, Honorary Secretary of the Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park Society Council of Management, and director for First Federal Cooperative Credit Union.

He holds a graduate diploma from the International Compliance Association and Manchester Business School, a certificate in International Trust Management from the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners and a certificate in Managing Financial Services from the University of the West Indies.

St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment programme was founded in 1984 and remains one of the most sought-after programmes of its kind in the world. The programme continues to be one of the most awarded, having taken the top spot in the CBI Index, a comprehensive ranking system that evaluates operational citizenship by investment programmes around the world.

St Kitts and Nevis programme continues to be underpinned by a strong multi-layered due diligence process in partnership with top due diligence firms from the United Kingdom and the United States.

National lender selects CompenSafe to improve incentive compensation administration and communication

LEHI, Utah, Dec. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), an nCino (NASDAQ: NCNO) company and developer of the leading U.S. homeownership platform for loan officers, borrowers, real estate agents and settlement agents, today announced that CrossCountry Mortgage is implementing CompenSafe to manage incentive compensation for its loan originators.

CrossCountry Mortgage is one of the nation’s largest retail mortgage lenders, operating a network of approximately 800 branch locations across all 50 states. The organization selected CompenSafe, the only incentive compensation management (ICM) solution designed for mortgage lenders, to provide staff with near real-time visibility into their pay and to automate complex payroll functions associated with managing mortgage compensation plans.

CompenSafe integrates with lenders’ loan origination systems (LOS’s) to automatically calculate compensation as loans fund. Flexible enough to process draws, guarantees, tiers, quality-related payments and more, the platform enables lenders to reliably produce payroll more quickly and accurately than spreadsheet-based incentive compensation management methods. CompenSafe gives loan officers, branch managers, processors, underwriters and all employees greater transparency into their commissions, bonuses and overrides by outlining how compensation is calculated and when it will be dispersed. A cloud-based portal enables employees to view compensation updates, submit questions to payroll and manage compensation disputes, all in one place for complete audit and compliance.

“Incentive compensation is the largest expense in lenders’ ledgers, and it is also one of the most burdensome to manage,” said Ben Miller, CEO of SimpleNexus. “CompenSafe is a value-add that helps lenders like CrossCountry Mortgage recruit and retain key employees, eliminate cumbersome administrative processes, mitigate risk and protect their bottom lines.”

About SimpleNexus
SimpleNexus, an nCino (NASDAQ: NCNO) company, is an award-winning developer of mobile-first technology for the modern mortgage lender. U.S. lenders depend on our namesake homeownership platform to unite the people, systems and stages of the mortgage process into a seamless, end-to-end solution that spans engagement, origination, closing and business intelligence. By helping lenders manage their teams and stay connected with borrowers and real estate professionals, we deliver a measurable return on investment in the form of reduced turn times, increased loan application submissions and more referral business.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Dec. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), through its fund Copenhagen Infrastructure IV (CI IV), has been allocated 500-600 MW of capacity in the first round of the Taiwan’s Round 3 Zonal Development offshore wind auction.

On 14 December 2022 it was announced that CI IV’s Fengmiao offshore wind project, located ~35km off the coast of Taichung City in the Western part of Taiwan, was awarded 500-600 MW capacity for grid connection in 2027. Final capacity is subject to government announcement expected later in the month. CIP expects to start construction works on Fengmiao in 2025 and the project to start operations in 2027.

Partner in Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners Thomas Wibe Poulsen says, “We are very pleased with the awarded grid allocation to Fengmiao and we look forward to extending our contribution to Taiwan’s energy transition policy. Taiwan is a key offshore wind market for CIP, and Fengmiao further enhances our existing portfolio in Taiwan. We will now accelerate our efforts to finalize the procurement and offtake arrangements to support our final investment decision.”

CIP entered Taiwan’s offshore wind market in 2017 and Fengmiao is CIP’s third offshore wind project in Taiwan. In April 2018 CIP was awarded ~900MW capacity across two projects which are currently under construction: the 595MW Changfang and Xidao offshore wind farm and the 298MW Zhong Neng offshore wind farm, the latter a joint venture between CI IV and China Steel Corporation (CSC).

“Since entering Taiwan, we have worked alongside the Taiwanese government and local companies to develop and mature the local supply chains, and we remain faithful that the Taiwan government will soon announce an administrative contract which properly addresses the complexity and encourages the execution and on-time delivery of Round 3 projects,” says Mr. Poulsen.

The President made this statement at the event that brings together more than 100 representatives of companies from 28 countries with investment projects worth US $4 billion.

The event was inaugurated this morning by the President of the Republic, Gabriel Boric, together with the Economy, Development and Tourism Minister, Nicolás Grau, and the InvestChile Director, Karla Flores.

The President referred to Chile’s potential to attract new investments since it offers tremendous opportunities and institutional solidity “that will help us to progress and improve the quality of life of our people, while making a global contribution. This requires reactivating the economy, where foreign investment plays a tremendously important role. Greater investment is synonymous with new jobs, which will restore peace of mind to thousands of families who have suffered as a result of our economic downturn, due to the COVID-19 crisis and the global economic slowdown”, said President Boric.

Good news for Foreign Investment 

Minister Grau confirmed that the Forum is an extremely important opportunity for Chile to reinforce its commitment to foreign investment. “As you are well aware, despite difficulties worldwide, this has been a good year for Chile in terms of foreign investment. However, Chile has tremendous potential due to its institutional strength, its physical and digital infrastructure and because Chile can clearly combine the fight against the climate change with economic dynamism and greater investment in a totally exceptional manner”, said the Secretary of State.

Karla Flores is the InvestChile Director, and she sees the forum as a sign that foreign companies have a positive, long-term interest in investing in Chile. “We are fully committed as an agency to attracting investment projects to Chile so they can positively benefit our entire business ecosystem, add dynamism to our markets, generate greater competition, improve service quality and citizen access in key industries, all of which will improve the quality of life for Chilean citizens”, said Ms. Flores.

The first such Forum was held in 2014. It aims to provide participating companies with first-hand knowledge of emerging investment opportunities, new economic strategies and foreign investment policies in Chile. This is the sixth Forum and projects here focus on the Circular Economy, Global Services, Fintech, Tourism and Green Hydrogen. The companies that have submitted the most investment initiatives were from the USA, France, Argentina and Japan.

Luiss University and University of Dubai Together to Strengthen International Relations

ROME, Dec. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A cooperation program to foster advancement in teaching, research and cultural understanding. This is the focal point of the agreement signed between the University of Dubai and Luiss Guido Carli in Rome. Luiss and the University of Dubai will promote more contacts and cooperation between their faculty members.

It is to be emphasized that those two factors create a strong basis for the development of joint training programs, formulating joint research projects, exchange of teaching materials, and exchange of students. University education is the precondition for social development, especially an expansion of transitive skills.

They are needed not only in business but in every aspect of social life. It is, therefore, necessary to build bridges for university connections and create networks of knowledge– diplomatic, economic, and commercial. Under the signed agreement, both institutions will endeavor to develop and participate in entrepreneurship and innovation initiatives to strengthen creative capacity by boosting development through cooperation and the flow of knowledge among higher education, vocational education, and training, including research.

The purpose of this agreement is to promote an exchange between students regularly enrolled in graduate programs at the University of Dubai and those regularly enrolled in an MBA program at Luiss Business School.

The agreement can be considered a legacy of the participation of Luiss University in the Italian Pavilion at Expo Dubai.
