City Speak XI - Is transport the solution or the enemy? Pascal Dupont of Alstom
Development and transport are closely related, but how do we connect the dots and guarantee a livable city for future generations?
Lifting the moratorium in Mid-levels, reducing the threshold for redevelopment and the constant pressure to increase density are all choking the older parts of Hong Kong with more traffic and roadside air pollution.
How do we deal with the increased traffic on new roads to the Mainland? How many more roads are we planning to build on our waterfront? Is there too much public transport clogging up our roads? Is replacing pedestrian crossings with subways and footbridges a good thing?
What plans are there for environmentally friendly transport and aesthetically more pleasing transport infrastructure in Hong Kong? Where are the hopes for making our city more pedestrian-friendly? Can new engine technology solve our problems? Could electronic road pricing help? Will the new rail lines be enough? Do we have a sustainable (transport) plan for our city?
Planners, engineers, academics and officials will discuss whether transport is our solution or our enemy.

India FMCG Sector Report May 2014
India FMCG Sector Report May 2014
For leading industry jobs, please visit http://iimjobs.com
India is likely to be the world's largest consumer market by 2030, according to a report by global consultancy Deloitte. The country’s retail market is projected to touch US$ 1.3 trillion by 2020, as per Mr KV Thomas, India’s Consumer Affairs Minister. With the online medium of retail gaining more and more acceptance, there is a tremendous growth opportunity for companies (international and domestic) in the retail and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) segment.
The Indian consumer sector can be broadly categorised into urban and rural markets. The bourgeoning sector is attracting global marketers like never before. The pace at which India’s consumer market is changing can be put down to dramatic shifts in consumer behaviour, increasing urbanisation, presence of a strong service sector, changing lifestyle, and most significantly, the expanding retail segment.
Businesses that can cater to the requirements of India's ambitious middle class, keep prices reasonable, build brand loyalty in new consumers, and adapt to a rapidly changing environment will find tremendous rewards in India’s potential-filled consumer market.
India’s urban population has contributed majorly to the growth of the online market in the country. Around 30–40 per cent of the total retail in India’s top 75 cities is expected to be carried out online in the next 7–10 years, said Mr Arvind Singhal, Chairman and Founder, Technopak Advisors. Amazon, the world’s biggest internet retail company, has seen potential in the Indian market. In June 2013, India became only the tenth market where Amazon has established a country-specific retail website.
Italian high-end accessories brand Furla plans to expand its presence in the Indian market, with the government clearing the company’s joint venture with Gurgaon-based Genesis Luxury Fashion. The alliance is expected to invest about Rs 13 crore (US$ 2.08 million) in the first four years to open stores.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has given the go-ahead to Swedish furniture retailer IKEA's application to enter the Indian industry and establish a single brand retail venture in the country. The projected Rs 10,500 crore (US$ 1.68 billion) FDI would be the largest investment by a foreign brand in the Indian retail sector

Emerging and Innovative Approaches in Photovoltaics
It’s time to reinforce and reshape R&D efforts to speed-up the PV business
NOW IS THE TIME FOR INNOVATION!
2012 - 2013 was a tough time for most PV manufacturers, as they faced difficulties due to strongly decreasing market prices resulting from an overcrowded market and high total manufacturing overcapacities. During this period the industry was focused on securing short-term sales, and there was little investment in new equipment and R&D activities.
But now the PV market is showing signs of renewed optimism. Investors are renewing their interest in PV start-up companies developing emerging PV technologies and applications. Equipment makers are finding new opportunities in equipment sales, either to increase production capacity in existing facilities or to build new ones. Big players, especially in China, are increasing their acquisition activities in order to secure a competitive advantage.
All of these developments open new opportunities for R&D funding, and the possibility to transfer R&D achievements into an industrial environment. At the same time, the increased performance and decreasing cost of PV components and systems will allow for new applications and wider use of PV technology for electricity generation.
PHOTOVOLTAICS: WHERE ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INNOVATION?
Although photovoltaics (PV) has reached a relatively high level of technological maturity, with many PV products commercially available today, strong efforts are underway to develop new solar cell technologies, to improve the performance of existing ones and to develop new applications for solar cells.
In this report, the PV industry’s main technology and market trends are presented, and the suitability of different PV technologies (crystalline silicon, CIGS, organic PV, etc.) for various applications is analyzed - with a focus on existing potential for further innovations.
For most conventional applications, where PV serves solely to generate electricity, it’s difficult to compete with continuously improving crystalline silicon technology, which dominates the PV market (>85% market share). Therefore, most developers of alternative PV technologies are focused on other PV functionalities (flexibility, color, low-light performance, indoor light performance, etc.) and on alternative application segments. Moreover, tandem and multijunction hybrid approaches, such as a multijunction solar cell, are also being studied.
The large number of process steps in PV product manufacturing provides great potential for innovative solutions: by avoiding, replacing, improving or adding process steps and materials used, a combination of many “small” improvements can lead to better performance and lower manufacturing costs.

Solar windows
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Technology Management Strategy to analyze the business model for Solar Windows from New Energy Technologies. New Energy Technologies provides a process for transforming existing windows into solar collectors merely by spraying several materials on the windows. With this low cost process, the windows can create electricity with costs and efficiencies that are much lower than those of solar collectors. The value proposition is low cost solar electricity and the main customers are buildings in areas with lots of sunlight such as Dubai. The firm should outsource manufacturing and installation to local firms and make money in licensing. Its patents can be used to protect from imitation.
