META.N Group Launches GxG.Style

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – ACCESSWIRE – 4 May 2022 – META.N GROUP is an artificial intelligence (AI) social technician company that creates and supplies technology that fits the cultural environment and times. META.N GROUP plans on providing platform-based technology that supports various financial and trading systems based on HyperNEX technology researched and developed by the subsidiary HyperNEST.

HyperNEX technology was developed to solve the problems with value sharing and the consistency of distribution that have emerged in the convergence process of technology and finance. It supports the distribution of online media content creation and sharing activities based on fifth generation AI-distributed computing technology.

The core goal of the technology is to implement a central execution system. After that, the goal is to implement a distributed audit system for quick processing and fair distribution. We have introduced an AI system into the distributed audit node, which allows it to prevent mistakes and biases for the benefit of a specific group when human intervention occurs.

David Han Lee, CEO of HyperNEST (the developer of HyperNEX technology), said, “It’s possible for AI to make mistakes or form a bias, but AI lacks human emotions. That’s why a fair distribution has more advantages than a human-directed distribution. We will block intervention for specific interests and improve the completion degree of technology. The more we experience fair distribution, the more competitive we will become. We want to be a company that others want to follow.”

META.N GROUP provides the W (Wallet) – M (Messenger) – M (NFT Marketplace) service based on the aforementioned HyperNEX technology to solve the problems with value sharing and distribution for those who use grid chain technology. META.N GROUP puts media content into NFTs with NFT Marketplace and NFTs that are traded in the market as the core axes. We will use these axes to achieve sharing and distribution. The GxG NFT Marketplace launched by META.N GROUP has the capacity for 1 GB minting. This means that users can utilize tools to convert various forms of media such as videos and high-quality images into NFTs to create new records and certifications. The market’s attention is focused on the fact that it is possible to solve the intellectual property problem (a common problem in the NFT market) through high-capacity minting.

It is said that a large-capacity hardware infrastructure is needed for the advancement and development of minting services of 1 GB or more as well as AI services. META.N GROUP is focusing on achieving “One Korea, One Cloud” in hopes of solving these problems. In other words, individuals or companies from the Republic of Korea will build a shared network infrastructure by sharing some of their PC storage, network, and GPU with us. The platform that is created will provide a fair distribution of shares. We want to be the first in the world to connect one country with one Cloud.

Eom Meen, the chairman of META.N GROUP, said, “There are a lot of conceptual examples of resource sharing. They have proved to be effective, but the practical implementation plans have been insufficient. With the NFT Marketplace as the main axis, we will provide services by combining the production of media content with the shared physical environment. This will allow us to create a feasible final touchpoint. The concept of value sharers refers to groups that share physical resources as well as groups that produce content. This will lead to the creation of natural DAO activities and an environment in which everyone is united. In the future, we will expand the market from ‘One Korea, One Cloud’ to ‘One World, One Cloud.’ We are currently receiving calls of support from global companies interested in our platform and technology.”

LYK Mobile Is Now Singapore’s Authorised Apple Independent Repair Program Partner

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 4 May 2022 – In an unprecedented move, Apple has shared on Wednesday, 17 November 2021, that it will begin sales of spare parts and tools to the general public for the first time. This is to facilitate their own repairs on certain models of iPhones and Mac computers.

This move is a result of pressure from consumers over the years who have been requesting for Apple to give a more direct channel of access to repair manuals and genuine parts. The self-service repair programme launch was well-received after the lengthy anticipation, with consumer groups signalling appreciation for Apple listening closely and systematically to customer insights.

Months earlier in March 2021, Apple also announced that it will be expanding its Independent Repair Provider (IRP) Program beyond its US shores. The program, which was originally launched in 2019 and expanded to Canada and Europe in 2020, will now be available worldwide in more than 200 countries. This means nearly every country where Apple products are sold will also have access to Apple’s Independent Repair Provider Program now.

In a strategic partnership with Apple, LYK Mobile is one of the authorised Apple Independent Repair Provider Program partners in Singapore. This partnership gives LYK Mobile access to genuine Apple parts, tools, repair manuals, and diagnostics to offer Apple-approved reliable repairs for iPhones and Mac computers.

Apple’s idea of access to quality repairs no matter where you live in the world has been widely and positively welcomed by both consumers and authorised repair program providers. Customers without access to an Apple store nearby or those with preferences to patronise a local store, now have the opportunity to access genuinely-sourced Apple parts and repair services of a direct Apple trained and certified provider.

LYK Mobile, along with all other providers globally, have to go through an application and qualification process in order to be a part of the Independent Repair Provider Program. While the program is free to apply for and join once approved, repair providers are required to adhere to Apple’s specific standards. Technicians who will carry out the repairs also have to be certified by Apple.

Apple Independent Repair Program providers like LYK Mobile have access to free training from Apple, and the same genuine parts, tools, repair manuals and diagnostics that are used at Apple Stores and Apple Authorised Service Providers (AASPs). With the aid of Apple’s training and tools, common issues that customers face like iPhone battery replacement requiring original parts can be resolved professionally at an Independent Repair Provider with quicker repair turnaround times and no loss of existing phone data.

As one of Apple’s selected providers, LYK Mobile can furnish original iPhone and Mac repair services, on top of existing third-party repair services. LYK Mobile technicians are able to carry out a complimentary diagnosis of Apple iPhones and Mac computers and perform out-of-warranty Apple repair services. Customers globally can benefit from the same Apple repair services that LYK Mobile provides at any of their local Independent Repair Providers. Apple’s global expansion of the Independent Repair Provider Program now equips customers with more accessibility and choice of a seamless product repair.

IMD Report ranks top Companies by Resilience to Crisis

  • The world’s largest Finance and Auto companies ranked against their competitors by their likelihood of survival released today in the Future Readiness Indicator 2022
  • Retail banks trump fintech companies this year in contrast to last year, with J.P. Morgan climbing ten spots, Block lands in 6th place behind stalwart banks
  • Tesla dominates the Auto industry rankings but Chinese BYD is in close pursuit
  • Singapore’s DBS surges up the ranks, Asian performance lags behind USA

LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND – Media OutReach – 4 May 2022 – US companies Tesla, Mastercard, Visa, and J.P. Morgan, topped the global rankings in their respective industries in the latest edition of the Future Readiness Indicator – Automotive & Financial Industry 2022, released today. Several global companies fared much worse than expected; Credit Suisse, Allianz, PingAn and Block – all for different reasons.

IMD Business School released its inaugural Future Readiness Indicator in December 2021, based on over a decade of data (2010 to 2021), to rank the highest-revenue companies against their competitors by how future-ready they are for the post-pandemic economy and the likelihood of thriving in a world of fast and frequent change. This year’s new ranking benchmarks the corporate world’s resilience in two industries: Automotive and Financial Industry against their competitors.

“The era of easy growth fueled by the pandemic stimulus programs is over. For banks and other financial services companies, there is a changing emphasis from innovation at all costs to quality growth in 2022,” explains Professor Howard Yu, author of the Future Readiness Indicator at IMD Business School. “What you see is conservatism pays this year. Business diversification makes good sense. This is why being future-ready equals corporate success.”

Asian companies performance

The results show a decline in the ranking of Chinese companies driven by the decrease in profits. Whether this is a short or long-term impact remains to be seen, but their readiness for 2022 certainly took a hit. Emerging economies that rely on the export of commodities have been doing well because of the long boom in China, but that has now come to an end.

From China: BYD ranks 5th, Geely 10th, XPeng 12th, Li Auto 14th, and 18th for NIO. From Japan: Toyota places 2nd, Honda 13th, Nissan 19th, and 21st for Suzuki. South Korea‘s Kia reaches 16th and Hyundai is 4th just behind Volkswagen (3rd).

Chinese insurance Ping An ranks 12th and Singapore’s DBS bank stellar performance in the financial services industry is at 5th out of a total 22 companies.

The Financial Services industry shows a reversal of fortune from Fintech to big banks. Credit card companies Mastercard and Visa are the most future-proof companies this year, topping the rankings, followed closely by JP Morgan Chase as the highest-ranking bank. In contrast, Credit Suisse and American Express ranked the worst in the financial industry, holding the last places 20 through 22.

This year, some surprising results include Block (formerly Square), which landed in 6th place, behind two stalwart banks: JP Morgan Chase and DBS bank. Insurance companies Ping An and Zurich Insurance also fared surprisingly poorly. Zurich Insurance sits at 13th place while Chinese Ping An drops five positions to 12th place. While the company is still strong at exploring new technologies and business models, cash flow problems (cash and debt factor) are partially due to the impacts of the China crack-down.

Unlike other banks, Credit Suisse dropped sharply, from 11th to 20th place, partially due to its recent losses and the internal turmoil due to reputation scandals. JP Morgan Chase’s surge as best performing bank is primarily due to the cloudier economic environment, favouring conservative risk management.

Banks trump fintech this year

This year, the strongest reveal is the quick return of banks that prioritize innovation and digitalization. Fintech companies have dropped slightly as raising cheap capital to buy market share with low-cost products now no longer works. This has allowed for the meteoric surge of JP Morgan and DBS to come out strong this year. As the world economy moves from one uncertainty to the next, companies that consistently hold strong balance sheets coupled with innovation will win. For fintech, this suggests that having an exciting product alone will no longer cut it as easily as last year.

The results find that for financial companies, being future-proof in today’s volatile business environment means being slightly more conservative than before in lending while driving low operating costs through digitization. Leveraging NFTs and AI to drive top-line growth and reduce the complexity of an organization to contain costs are strengths that are rewarded. The research predicts that stronger performers will be the ones to drive growth through the non-labour-intensive business models.

Financial Services Industry methodology
The Future Readiness Indicator examines the top 23 retail banks, insurance companies, and payment platforms based on $7.1 billion to $183.4 billion revenue and ranks against data from 2015 to March 2022. The indicator measures against the following criteria: financial fundamentals, investors’ expectation of future growth, employee diversity/ESG, cash and debt, business productivity, early results of innovation, and openness to new ideas.

In the Automotive industry, Tesla dominates again this year, Toyota ranks second, and Volkswagen comes in third. This year, the ranking introduced four new companies. Three are EV producers, Chinese XPeng, Li Auto, and Rivian, and industry stalwart Suzuki although along with Renault, they rank at the very bottom, taking the last two spots of the global ranking.

Chinese EV producers, XPeng and Li Auto, at 12th and 14th places, are performing better than industry heavyweights Audi (15th) and Nissan (19th).

The sharpest climber, BYD, jumps nine places to the 5th position this year. An early mover in EV, they stopped creating combustion engine vehicles and are now 100% electric. The company is also one of the rare automakers producing its own chips. In addition, BYD has 40% of its sales outside its home base in China, resulting in a big jump in its business diversity factor.

The industry winner remains Tesla, but quickly catching up are Hyundai and BYD, both have steadily increased in future readiness over the past few years, and they are not only strong in EV but also demonstrate strong electronics capabilities. In the case of BYD, its stellar surge reflects how the global semiconductor shortages have exposed the importance of having chipset manufacturing capabilities in-house. NIO is a newcomer, and as recently as 2016, BYD ranked 18th. Their 2021 rankings –13th for NIO and 14th for BYD – suggest that these two companies are poised to survive future crises and achieve continuous growth.

Interestingly, to an extent, Toyota, Nio, and even Tesla ranked surprisingly poorly on gender diversity, whereas Harley-Davidson (17th) and Ford Motor (7th) ranked highest on this metric.

Navigating the chip shortage and supply chain threats

The research finds that industry convergence is seen where the gap widens between traditional and EV. The analysis reveals that most traditional automakers, despite mechanical expertise, share conservative views and are relatively unsuited to address vehicle electrification, connectivity, and autonomous driving. Still, the most valuable know-how for the future is not just EVs anymore but capacities in software and electronics for automakers. As seen with self-driving public buses in the UK soon to trial, the future resilience of the auto industry hinges on autonomous vehicles and electronic transport – but most importantly, self-reliance on electronics, heightened by the global chips shortage.

The second-ranking Toyota had prepared itself by stockpiling chips, and Toyota avoided the worst of the disruption and reclaimed the position of world’s largest automaker.

During the chip shortage, Tesla’s expertise in programming allowed it to rewrite its firmware, continue production, and sell a record number of vehicles. Tesla was future-ready before they ever built their first car.

Renault remains in last place. Its recent turmoil has cast constraints on the company’s capital expenditure, allowing for less effort into research and development than its peers.

As COVID-19 repercussions on the economy recede slowly, the industry grapples with equally turbulent new threats. Fuel prices will accelerate the energy transition to electronic parts and battery availability for the auto industry. Suppose the pandemic, which triggered a surge in purchasing of goods, caused the global supply chain to buckle. In that case, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s continuing zero-Covid policy risk is breaking it completely.

Global supply chains are too complex and interconnected to be immune to shocks, especially as seismic as a worldwide pandemic or wars. Therefore, new capacities force companies to adopt novel strategies to keep goods moving. Today, backlogs and breakdowns are the new normal, making getting ahead of disruptions as early as possible more crucial than ever for future-readiness.

Automotive Industry methodology

The Indicator included the top 22 automakers based on $6.2 billion to $284.4 billion revenue and ranks against data from 2010 to March 2022. We added three young EV makers, XPeng, Li Auto, and Rivian, whose revenue is relatively small but high market value, into this year’s ranking.

The rankings results are based on objective measurements to reach a composite score via an AI-driven algorithm to compare against the industry average. It uses hard data to rank companies against critical drivers of innovation: Financial Fundamentals, Investors’ Expectations of Future Growth, Employee Diversity/ESG, Research & Development, Early Results of Innovation, Business Diversity, and Cash and Debts. The data period for the ranking is from 2016 through March 2022

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance)

This year’s Indicator results consider companies’ ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance in the ranking. This includes the gender diversity of the board and executive teams and diversity in leadership mindset, which correlates to better innovation in companies. This metric also considers the country’s competitiveness of each company’s headquarters to gauge the ease of doing business and governance.

Looking at Tesla’s ESG score as an example, it’s governance controversies as reported by the media. Although Tesla has acquired its green credentials for electric vehicles, it scores poorly on the overall ESG because of chief executive Elon Musk’s governance style.

Gender diversity and inclusion boosts future-readiness

This year’s Indicator includes the influence of female board-level executives and mid-senior managers on a company’s future-readiness. The results reveal that most industries are going through an industry convergence seen as colliding trends. The ranking considers diversity in gender, nationality, and mindset of executives playing an increasingly influential role in corporate success – outperforming their competitors and being more resilient.

The trend sees the limited capacity of an overly homogenous company to reinvent when too many employees come from the same background, whether in terms of CEO mindset or gender, and critical mass is the tipping point to success.

China’s BYD and Volkswagen rank highly in gender diversity among the auto companies, while Nissan and Kia are the opposite. In financial services, DBS Bank and JP Morgan have performed well in this area, allowing their future-readiness score to be the highest among banks. However, HSBC and Credit Suisse perform poorly in diversity.

Overall, the 2022 Future Readiness Indicator draws the following lessons for corporations to navigate:

1) Supply chain game-changer: from transparency in 2021 to resilience in 2022

Despite economic volatility, industry convergence is accelerating. Compared to last year, Tesla’s readiness score surges far ahead of other carmakers in the auto industry. Last year’s Toyota at #2 commands a total score of 77.9. This year, Toyota remains at #2, but the overall score drops to 64.5. What’s needed even more urgently is for carmakers to build up capabilities in electronic components and software. Last year Toyota stockpiled to keep the lights on – but it isn’t effective in the long- term. Digitizing the supply chain might have sufficed during the Covid pandemic as the industry adjusted supply to new demands. In 2022, it’s about supply chain resilience not just supply chain transparency.

2) The changing game for growth strategy: from a deep singular market in 2021 to broad, diverse geography in 2022

With the increasing tension of geopolitics, companies must diversify away from individual country risks. As growth slows down across the board, the company’s readiness is reflected in the development quality. Specifically, it’s whether a company can diversify its reliance from a single geographic market. BYD, for example, is not only vital in electronics and batteries, and those are the capabilities for future mobility. But it has, like other top-ranking companies, increasingly diversified its revenue sources across broader geographic regions. The combination of new capabilities and diversification propels these companies to climb up the rank for 2022 and beyond.

3) The changing risk appetite: from growth at all costs in 2021 to stewardship in 2022

Last year’s pandemic has pulled up much of the future demand, and that one-off driver has been depleted. Fintech is dropping in its ranking, including Block and PayPal. We see big banks like JP Morgan Chase or DBS surging up this year’s rankings in their place. But the top-ranking companies remain Mastercard and Visa. Their speed of decision is high – similar to the tech sector. And at the same time, they can forge strategic partnerships with big banks and Fintech at the same time. With healthy balance sheets, these are the winning behaviours to adopt in 2022.

4) The (un)changing definition of future readiness: from resource abundance to scarcity

The top-ranking companies all share similar capabilities relevant for future survival. During the pandemic in 2021, top-ranking companies succeeded in helping people to work from home (Zoom) or be entertained (Netflix), or shop (PayPal). In 2022, executives need to assume better resource scarcity, driven by rising interest rates and the slowing economy. Top ranking companies succeeded by going back to the basics: cost control, risk diversification, pursuing growth carefully and handling government regulations.

In 2022, both quality and size of earnings matter. As recession is a possibility, those who can navigate the next crisis when it comes will be more likely to achieve a robust financial balance sheet and an unparalleled growth trajectory.
