La XIV Encuesta Mundial del Sector Eléctrico y de Energía, elaborada por PwC, recoge las opiniones de directivos de 70 compañías de 52 países de todo el mundo (entre los que se incluye España) sobre los cambios que, en las próximas décadas, transformarán la industria y darán lugar a la aparición de nuevos modelos de negocio.
The new working paper “The Empirics of Enabling Investment and Innovation in Renewable Energy” provides insights on the key policy drivers and barriers to investment and innovation in renewable power in OECD and G20 countries. Based on econometric analysis, it assesses the impacts of climate mitigation policies and the quality of the investment environment on both investment and patenting activity in renewable-power generation since 2000. The analysis also assesses how the investment environment and related policy misalignments influence the effect of climate mitigation policies in encouraging renewables investment and innovation.

When some of the world´s brightest people and biggest companies unite, there must be an urgency to solve a bigger problem. In order to build a smarter, more sustainable future for the planet, a far-reaching multidisciplinary effort is needed to speed up the rate of greentech innovation together – and to finance the economies of the future.
Right now, there is an innovation-based industrial revolution going on to re-shape our world for the better.
Unfortunately, it´s happening too slow. Innovations and new technologies take too long to enter the market and to then scale in a meaningful way. Capital, capabilities (know-how) and connections are the greatest limiting factors.

“Automate everything you can.” This DevOps principle propels automated testing into a primary enabling position for any organization that embarks on a DevOps journey. No longer an option. No longer something we *should* do. Either we automate testing or the bright promise of DevOps will remain out of reach.
In this session, we will examine the multiple ways that automated testing is the lynchpin that enables the flow of software through the DevOps pipeline. And we will see how it changes – but does not eliminate – manual testing. (After all, “everything you can” is not everything.)
The temporal branch of the facial nerve is a commonly injured nerve during facial trauma due to its superficial course over the zygomatic arch, and is a commonly damaged nerve during facial surgery.1 We report a case of trauma to the left temporal fossa, and subsequent unilateral forehead paralysis. Early exploration revealed external suture compression as the origin of his paralysis. Removal of the suture led to complete resolution of the neurological deficit. The differential diagnosis did not include the possibility of the compression of the nerve by a suture, however the decision for early exploration led to a full recovery.

Top 10 cybersecurity predictions for 2016 by Matthew RosenquistMatthew Rosenquist
Cybersecurity is a difficult and serious endeavor which over time strives to find a balance in managing the security of computing capabilities to protect the technology which connects and enriches the lives of everyone.
Peering into the future of cybersecurity provides valuable insights around the challenges and opportunities. The industry is changing rapidly and attackers seem to always be one step ahead. Organizations must not only address what is ongoing, but also prepare for how cyber-threats will maneuver in the future.
The 2016 Cybersecurity Predictions presentation showcases the cause-and-effect relationships and provides insights and perspectives of the forthcoming challenges the industry is likely to face and how we can be better prepared for it.
USA Information Security Compliance Market OverviewNiraj Singhvi
This report is prepared by Maple Growth Partners, an investment research and strategic advisory firm.
The project was commissioned by one of our $250mn+ private equity fund client. The primary objective of this report was to provide a market overview of the requested standards within the IT security compliance industry along with their adoption rates by relevant geographies, identification of the most attractive growth pockets globally to scale operations, and a detailed competitive landscape / bolt-on acquisition targets list.
Standards included were PCI; HIPAA; HITRUST; EI3PA; FedRamp; SOC 1 and SOC 2; GDPR; and NYDFS.
As a part of an exercise to identify the most attractive geography pockets for IT security compliance to scale operations globally, we provided a detailed cybersecurity preparedness research for each country to eventually come up with necessary insights to present the most suitable countries to invest in from a US PE portfolio company perspective.
We then screened hundreds of companies and identified 151 relevant competitors / bolt-on acquisition targets and have presented them in a matrix format outlaying their presence across standards along with ownership details in a standardized profile template.
From a PE perspective, we believe that this industry is perfectly positioned for a roll-up strategy. Broadening the scope of solutions offered to sell more to one client, coupled with scalability through cloud adoption and outsourcing the operations/support functions will likely enhance incremental value in the respective target.
While the full report is exclusively prepared for the said client, we have provided a gist of our overall analysis to showcase our research capabilities, especially for a niche market such as IT security compliance.

Cloud security is moderately growing in emerging markets of APAC while higher growth numbers are projected for the North American market. Middle-East and Africa still remain premature due to lack of customer awareness and inconsistent network infrastructure. However, with no surprise, Israel houses few of the major cloud security companies and been a power-house for research and development. Enterprise level customers look to put cloud security services on high priority due to the sensitivity of the data they deal within cloud. In a nutshell, with the growing attacks on cloud-based services and incidents of data breaches, cloud security has started to get importance and this trend is expected to go high in the years to come. The report titled "Global Cloud Security Market" showcases an in-depth analysis of the overall cloud security market in terms of market size, segmentation for security service providers, end-users, geographies, security services, cloud environment, competition, market metrics and service provider analysis. This report also forecasts the growth numbers till 2018 (on a YoY basis) and hence suggests the Compound Annual Growth Rate for the estimated period. The report brings about a detailed description of the developed and emerging markets globally, service providers analysis bracketed as Enterprise/Small and Medium Businesses along with market across each service segment of cloud security (cloud IAM, SIEM, Email Security, Web Security, etc.) and cloud environment (public/private).

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.

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.

Company Valuation webinar series - Tuesday, 4 June 2024FelixPerez547899
This session provided an update as to the latest valuation data in the UK and then delved into a discussion on the upcoming election and the impacts on valuation. We finished, as always with a Q&A
1. Pluribus Capital Management
Invest in those technologies, services and companies
that will improve Homeland, Global and Corporate Security
while delivering high returns for investors
2. Homeland and Global Security
A new growth market
The Homeland and Global Security(HGS) market is
defined as:
The technologies, products, and services required by the Private
and Public sectors in order to ensure the normal operation and
continuity of commerce, infrastructure services, transportation,
logistics and communication in the case of :
Terrorism, Espionage and Sabotage
Natural Disasters
Radiological/Biological/Chemical agent outbreaks and attacks
Cybercrime
Cataclysmic events and outages
3. What s the economic opportunity?
Prior to Sept 11, US spent $10B/year on homeland
security
After Sept 11, that number has increased to $40B/
year with a 5-10% growth rate/year
In June 2004 DHS awarded US-VISIT(biometric
customs screening) contract
$10B To a single company(Accenture)
4. Large HGS Market Size*
In a recent report by Equity International, public sector
homeland security spending (federal, state, local) in the
United States is projected to rise to $55.9 billion during
2004 and to $56.8 billion in 2005
In the UK, 93% of businesses with over $1B in revenue
polled believe that terrorism will increase over the next 2
years as a result of the Iraq war, and that their operations
will be affected somehow**
Global spending by governments on homeland security
will rise to $562 billion in 2004 and to $572 billion in
2005
*Centre for Global and Homeland Security, 2003
** RAND/Janusian Terrorism Survey, 2004
5. Private Spend vs Public Spend
Total US Spend Between $93B and $139B in FY 2003
The biggest rise in spending is likely to come from the private sector
---Fortune, The Fruits of Safety , June 28 2004
8. Homeland Security Market Forces
The HGS sector will see considerable mergers and
acquisitions activity as a result of the need for larger
established companies to deliver more innovative solutions
Established HGS companies will acquire best of breed startups to
supplement R&D budgets reduced during the 2000-2003 downturn
GE Acquisition of Invision for $900M in 3/04
Like other multi-year trends, HGS is a global market with
global needs as evidenced by:
Madrid Train Bombings
Saudi, Bali, Kenya, and Morocco attacks
HSBC Bank bombings in Turkey
Ongoing security presence in UK, France
Emerging threat concerns in China, Japan
10. Future Drivers
Money makes the world go round
Global economy
War and politics
Government spending
Fear and treat
Technology evolution
Battle of the brands
Things not on our radar screen
11. Defense sector vs. HGS sector
Force Protection, the unexploited niche
The Aerospace and Defense sectors are historically
oriented towards Force Projection solutions
Overseas military use
There has historically been a lack of focus on Force
Protection solutions, to protect against:
Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attacks such as in Iraq
Attempted missile (MANPAD) attacks on commercial jetliners
The HGS market category embodies the new global
focus on force protection ;the HGS market is evolving as
more spending occurs in the private sector
70% of US Critical infrastructure (oil wells, chemical plants,
computer systems) is in the private sector
12. The Innovation Problem
Large Capabilities Gap
Recent observations from Department of Homeland
Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA)
bidders conferences reveal gaps between existing
technology and needs:
Example: Current DHS focus is on complete Systems vs.
Components
Result: DHS is funding yesterday s technology, not best of breed
innovation from universities and small startups
An opportunity exists to introduce best of breed
technology where current market standards are best
available
Startups don't necessarily build complete systems but can create
ecosystems with larger companies to deliver full systems
13. Top DHS/Public Sector Investment Opportunities*
I. BioSurveillance/Biosensors
II. US-VISIT Program
III. Radiation Detection Equipment and Technology
IV. Anti-Missile Technology for Commercial Aviation
V. Intelligence Integration and Risk Analysis Systems
VI. Explosive Detection and Baggage Systems
