TrustArc Webinar-Advertising, Privacy, and Data Management Working TogetherTrustArc
Today, more and more companies use advertising technologies (AdTech) to reach their consumers and better understand their preferences. This can lead to multiple data protection risks. Data privacy awareness is increasing due to seismic developments in the industry brought about by key players such as Google and Apple. In parallel, global regulations set stricter guidelines around the collection, storage, and use of personal data.
This is not over. With the decisions coming out soon on analytics, how will the advertising technologies landscape adjust? Ultimately, how can advertising, privacy, and data management work together?
Our panel in this webinar explored the practical steps your organization should take to ensure that its digital advertising practices are compliant with data protection laws.
This webinar reviews:
- The current practices and developments in the AdTech industry
- The laws and regulations governing AdTech
- How to address the privacy issues related to advertising technology

EU Framework for Research and Innovation- Grants from European CommissionThe Pathway Group
EU Grant Funding Framework for Research and Innovation. Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU research and innovation fund ever.It also has an dedicated programme specially for SME organisations
TCI Pathway working with Pera Technology on Horizon 2020 funding UKThe Pathway Group
TCI Pathway Ltd working with Pera Technology are colloborating on a record breaking new product development fund to support innovation in European SMEs.
The scheme, administered by TCI Pathway Ltd with backing of Pera Technology, is part of the EU Horizon 2020 initiative which has committed €82 billion to furthering research and innovation in SMEs over the next 5 years.
The fund will enable individual businesses able to claim up to €3 million for new product development.
The new funding scheme is more than twice the size of the previous SME support pot and aims to see 1,000s of new products developed in Europe before 2020.
Manufacturing and engineering firms are the most likely to benefit from this new source of financial support for innovation and historically, UK businesses have been among the most successful in accessing the new product development funding – second only to Spanish firms and significantly outperforming SMEs in the EU’s two largest economies, Germany and France.
Furthermore, this new funding scheme has been developed to improve ease of access for SMEs. Unlike previous budgets, Horizon 2020 does not require SME businesses to join larger consortiums, the application process has been made simpler and the European Commission will be obliged to provide a response to funding applications within six months of submission.
In order to be applicable for the larger research and development fund businesses must demonstrate market demand and there is a feasibility study grant of €50,000 lump sum available to business for this purpose.
This level of funding is very unique and been made available to small and medium sized business for new product development purposes. The UK is in an enviable position to benefit from this EU grant opportunity fund, having overtaken the two largest economies in Europe in terms of bidding success. There is no doubt that the larger amount of funding and fewer restrictions associated with Horizon 2020 will see more businesses than ever before applying.
SMEs have been identified by the European Commission and national governments within the EU as the source of future economic growth. There are 20 million SME businesses in the EU and 4.8 million in the UK.

Jongler avec la fiscalité et les incitants du gouvernement, qui visent à favoriser les entreprises innovantes, c’est dégager du cash pour l’affecter directement au développement de son activité. Comprendre la philosophie de la loi permet d'être éveillé aux opportunités qu'elle apporte à l'entreprise. Attention toutefois, que l'on parle de dispense de précompte professionnel scientifique, de déduction d'impôt sur revenus d'innovation ou de Young Innovative Company, il y lieu de n'oublier aucune étape administrative préalable pour en bénéficier pleinement.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Grote partijen zijn al een tijdje onderweg met retail media. Ondertussen worden in dit domein ook de kansen zichtbaar voor andere spelers in de markt. Maar met die kansen ontstaan ook vragen: Zelf retail media worden of erop adverteren? In welke fase van de funnel past het en hoe integreer je het in een mediaplan? Wat is nu precies het verschil met marketplaces en Programmatic ads? In dit half uur beslechten we de dilemma's en krijg je antwoorden op wanneer het voor jou tijd is om de volgende stap te zetten.
Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Facing the Big Data Revolution: A German Start-Up Perspective
1. Facing the Big Data Revolution:
A German Start-Up Perspective
2. Access to Start-Up Funding
• While strong funding mechanisms for established businesses are in place, startups are
another matter:
• Expectation that the company is already financially viable in most cases
• New KfW (State-owned development bank) subsidiary aimed to ramp up mid-2018, aims to provide
equity-free startup funding of €2 billion over the next 10 years.
• Funding gaps are being (partially) filled by industry accelerators
• However, these often put the owner at a disadvantage:
• Sizeable equity stakes for marginal investment (reflective of risk tolerance)
• Ranging from 1% to 20% equity stakes
• Often include work-product and IP catch-alls (fine for a company that wishes to insert their offering directly into the
parent organization's value chain and avoid going to market directly, but largely problematic for companies trying to
build up their balance sheet/valuation for subsequent investment).
• Strong angel and VC networks, depending on the stage of organizational development.
02.03.2018 Page 2
3. Setting up a new Company
• 2008 amendment of GmbHG introduced a 1,-EUR limited liability company (mini-
GmbH/UG), aimed specifically at entrepreneurs who were put off by the 25k EUR
minimum share capital requirement.
• Up until Brexit, many German startups were using UK limited companies to work around
both the personal liability risks and share capital requirements – many are now
regretting this decision.
02.03.2018 Page 3
4. Insolvency/Bankruptcy in Germany
• Insolvency/Bankruptcy laws improving, but still a significant deterrent for Entrepreneurs.
• In case of failure:
• Personal Liability for Managing Directors in many cases
• Under previous Bankruptcy law of 1877: No debt relief
• Under Insolvency Statute of 1999: discharge of residual debt possible after 6 years
• Under 2014 amendment: discharge possible after 3 years if at least 35% repaid
• Effectively blackballed from large industry – difficult to re-integrate
• More than 90% of tech start-ups fail
• Some other Entrepreneurs that went bankrupt:
• Walt Disney, Henry Ford, P.T. Barnum
• US Presidents (including but not limited to):
• Thomas Jefferson
• Abraham Lincoln (forced to repay his creditors over a period of 17 years, horse seized)
• Donald Trump

5. How has Adaptant Evolved?
• Founded on the basis of providing user-centric technologies in response to emerging legislation
(e.g. GDPR).
• Split policy/technology focus - policy shaping technology, technology shaping policy
• Providing technical products & solutions, but also working with companies on transformation
strategies (moving beyond compliance), responsible and ethical data use.
• Novel innovation model – balancing between and aligning R&D/productization/standards & policy.
• Research activities:
• Commercial needs influencing research directions
• Research providing technology transfer and product diversification opportunities (low-risk exploration of new
application scenarios).
• Business development in reverse – started at EU-level and now expanding regionally/nationally.
• Multi-sided Business Model – connecting B2C and B2B
• Acquired know-how and competence converted into service offerings.

7. Adaptant’s GDPR-driven Expansion Strategy
• Other countries pursuing GDPR alignment:
• Japan’s (as of May 30, 2017) “Act on Protection of
Personal Information” / 個人情報の保護に関する法律。
• First country outside of the EU to be whitelisted for GDPR
essential equivalency / adequacy.
• Canada – Previously enjoyed adequacy status under its
Personal Information Protection and Electronic
Documents Act (PIPEDA) with Directive 95/46/EC,
reform in progress for GDPR alignment.
• Brazil “Bill of Law on Data Protection - Bill 5276/2016”
currently under review – seeking alignment with the
GDPR (will introduce data protection and privacy rights
for the first time).
• Malaysia’s (as of November, 2013) Personal Data
Protection Act (PDPA) and Personal Data Protection
Standards (as of December 23, 2015).

8. Issues for Canada
• If Canada wishes to participate in the Digital Single Market, it must get organizations of
all sizes handling data responsibly and in line with the provisions of the GDPR (or
equivalent, whether as an opt-in measure or otherwise), opt-out provisions or exceptions
for company size aren't doing small organizations any favours (most want to sell up to
larger industry, meaning the risk and fines scale up, too).

9. Issues for Germany
• Better support for innovative startups
• Patent filing subsidies for micro-SMEs to encourage early-stage IP development (as per the USPTO – 90%
reduction of fees for first 4 patents).
• Low-cost instrument for registering ideas at an early stage of IP development (as per Benelux BOIP – 36 EUR
per idea) – a cost-effective method for establishing prior art in future IP scenarios.
• Guidelines for “predatory” behaviour by industry accelerators (equity stakes, IP ownership).
• Development funding / R&D grants for disruptive but high-risk organizations (incl. pre-revenue):
• Risks can be hedged in other ways than financial viability assessment:
• Backing / underwriting by an established industry partner (as per H2020 FTI)
• As part of a project consortium that is able to carry on independent of partner insolvency.
• Acceptance that startups can and will fail, without stigmatizing one-off Entrepreneurs:
• Entrepreneurs that have failed previously have a higher chance of success in subsequent startups (20%) than
first time entrepreneurs (18%), compared with those that have had successful exits (30%).
• Stigmatization is not only a significant loss of potential, but also fails to address the issue it attempts to solve in
the first place:
• First timers carry more risk than those who have tried and failed and aim to try again.
• People will take their skills and knowledge gained and bring this to another country instead – contributing to a growing skills gap
and loss of IP potential.
