Isabel dos Santos, Unitel Awarded Prestigious Financial Sector Awards

LONDON, Jan 2, 2020 – (Media OutReach) – The Global Banking and Finance Review has named Isabel dos Santos the best Angolan chairperson for 2019, and her company Unitel the best telecommunications company in Angola for 2019.

Dos Santos owns 25 percent of Unitel, Angola’s largest telecoms company. She also sits on its board and last March had her board membership renewed.

The Angolan investor has been busy this past year. In 2019, Unitel became the first Angolan Associate Partner of the World Economic Forum. This exclusive club of corporate partners help WEF implement its vision in Africa and attend summits all over the world. The only other African partner is the Dangote Group. They both join giants such as Alibaba, Facebook, Google, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

“This is a very big achievement for us,” dos Santos said at the time of the announcement. “The management team is very proud to be part of this exclusive partnership and network of impressive business leaders. We have a very clear exciting path of growth and look forward to speaking about it at next WEF Davos.”

In November, dos Santos attended AfricaCom 2019 as Unitel’s representative and called for global investors to pave the way for 5G.

“I would like to see in the Energy sector the same thing that happened in the Telecommunications sector: a big investment from the private sector,” she said in Cape Town. “Today we are 1.2 billion people in Africa, by 2050 we will be 2.4 billion – more than in China. The investment required in infrastructure is huge”.

She said that her company had invested $2.2 billion in fibre optic cables over the past two decades: “Today we have 14,000 km of optical fibre, we promote the expansion of the internet nationwide with one of the most modern telecommunications networks in Africa.”

That fibre optic network, which is now operational, connects Angola with Brazil.

Dos Santos helped found Unitel in the dying days of the Angolan Civil War, and after the conflict ended capital was hard to find.

Speaking about her early days at Unitel, she said: “We re-invested every single penny we made in the company and there were no dividends for the shareholders. The infrastructure of the country in terms of telecoms was inadequate and definitely fell very short in terms of capacity.”

Dos Santos has done her best to promote a sense of corporate social responsibility at Unitel. It selected six young Angolans to do a postgraduate degree in agriculture at the Royal Agricultural University in Britain, for example.

It is also a leader in workplace gender equality, with 37 percent of its overall employees being women; 40 percent of its management are women and 20 percent of its technical staff are women.

Other than Unitel, she also has a host of other investments, not least EFACEC Power Solutions.

EFACEC is a Portuguese energy and transport company specializing in charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. Dos Santos sits on the board, and last year the company was ranked among the top five recognized brands in the energy and utility sector. She aims to increase the share of EFACEC’s total turnover derived from electric mobility from 6 percent to 15 percent.

So far, the company has managed to triple the production of fast and ultra-fast chargers for electric batteries as well as launch new charging facilities.

The Global Banking and Finance Review is a UK-based financial magazine first launched in 2011. Its annual Global Banking and Finance Awards rewards those who have carried out inspirational, innovative and progressive achievements in the financial sector.

NetDragon and Beijing Language and Culture University Press Collaborate to Facilitate Chinese Learning Worldwide

Agreements Signing Ceremony attended by NetDragon and the BLCUP

NetDragon Websoft Holdings Limited (“NetDragon” or “the Company”, Hong Kong Stock Code: 777), a global leader in building internet communities, is pleased to announce that, the Company and Beijing Language and Culture University Press (the “BLCUP”) have entered into a strategic cooperation agreement and a joint venture agreement (the “Agreements”) recently in Beijing, under which both parties will jointly set up a company and integrate advanced technologies, resources and ideas, for the establishment of a global Chinese language learning platform.

Liu Dejian, Founder and Chairman of NetDragon delivered a speech on behalf of the Company at the event. Leaders from both parties, including Xiong Li, CEO of NetDragon, Lin Wei, Senior Vice President of NetDragon, Ni Haidong, Secretary of Party Committee of Beijing Language and Culture University (the “BLCU”), Zhang Wangxi, Vice Principal of BLCU, Zhao Junwu, Director of BLCU Asset Management Office and Hao Yun, Secretary of Party General Branch and Chairman of BLCUP attended the event.

In recent years, overseas demand for Chinese language learning has been rising along with its popularity. However, in an overseas non-Chinese environment, obsolete teaching materials and low effectiveness of online content remain some of the major obstacles of Chinese language learning, which lead to low learning efficiency and weak interest among learners.

To facilitate efficient and interesting Chinese language learning in foreign countries, NetDragon and the BLCUP have reached a strategic cooperation, under which both parties will jointly set up a company, which will use authoritative Chinese learning philosophy and education products as the core, supplemented by NetDragon’s 3D, AI, VR technologies, to construct an integrated, resourceful and wide-reaching global Chinese language learning platform, hence providing a complete set of digital solution to the Chinese language learning sector worldwide. This Chinese language learning platform will be open to different user groups including learners, teachers, and administrators, and will consist of three parts: international Chinese online learning, international Chinese teaching training and international Chinese teaching management, while integrating teaching, examination, learning and training to serve modern Chinese language learning.

Liu Dejian, Founder and Chairman of NetDragon, commented that NetDragon was one of the pioneering companies to bring VR, AR and AI technologies to the field of education. The Company has high expectations to incorporate such technologies into Chinese language learning in order to help international students to learn the language more quickly and effectively, and to also understand the culture. In addition, with a lengthy track record in online gaming business, NetDragon enjoys superior advantage in content production. Currently, NetDragon is speeding up with internet technology development while progressing with the development of educational content.

Ni Haidong, the Secretary of the Party Committee of BLCU, commented that not only NetDragon has ongoing achievements in education, it also carries a strong sense of social responsibility, which reflects its vision and passion for education as a successful company. Ni Haidong added that he looks forward to furthering collaborations between NetDragon and the BLCU in future.

At the event, the BLCUP appointed Liu Dejian as “Honorary Director of the State Key Laboratory for Press and Publication Technology and Standards at BLCUP”. The BLCUP was enlisted as National Key Laboratories of Technology and Standards for Press and Publications. The two parties will jointly develop a platform for research and development and targets to have the implementation as industry standards such that they can provide reference for industry development.

Currently, the BLCUP is one of the most authoritative publishers in international Chinese language teaching and learning. It has a leading market position with more than 3,000 categories of international Chinese language teaching materials published. On the other hand, with over 30 years of operating experience in publishing Chinese textbooks, the BLCUP has accumulated access to a large number of top experts, scholars and teachers in China and overseas. These users can provide professional and authoritative guidance for the establishment of the platform, as well as the most realistic testing ground.

SHIFT RED Next Generation Drone System creates New Style beyond UAV

[SHIFT RED : Hyper Sensor Fusion Technology]

TIE (this is engineering, Inc.), a global leader in UAV and Robotics technology and products, is pleased to announce that the world’s most intuitive drone and control system will make its global debut in the U.S marketplace.

SHIFT RED is the world’s only drone which can be controlled by one hand and which allows people to enjoy droning anywhere thanks to a new concept of perfect small size and light weight in comparison to older fashioned drone products.

Held to light at CES 2019 and IFA 2019, the industry foresees SHIFT RED will pioneer a new era and an innovative new standard for UAV beyond conventional style and technology, with drones too heavy and difficult for general users, an outdated way to fly and restriction of places.

Based on TIE’s unique patented “near-field micro sensing” technology, SHIFT RED has been described as a perfect small drone for the global market, such that users can control the drone by simply wearing a ring around and moving the thumb.

Furthermore, SHIFT RED is smart with action shooting. Its tracking technology is more than just about following. It recognizes and expresses your dynamic movements in a smarter way and provides optimum output.

Users can have unprecedented experience with its easy-to-use features and high performance. SHIFT RED’s photo video manager supports various features like seamless transmission of video and photo data to mobile devices, and clear and stable real time streaming.

David Kim, Head of Marketing for TIE’s Global Business, said “As confirmed through feedback at global industrial exhibitions, our one-handed control technology and innovative new features for daily life concepts will lead to a whole new world in UAV.

“Our concepts can also be applied to areas including commercial and military. That is, our products and technologies will enable anyone benefit through commercial services, and personal enjoyment in their daily life.”
