he pandemic has been an exacting period for humanity. Since the advent of COVID-19, it
has caused economic disruption worldwide. Consequently, the business operations took a
180-degree turn globally. Regardless of being a giant organization or an emerging startup, the
companies altered the operations to survive in the pandemic. While the healthcare industry is
striving for the cure, other sectors continued to offer the services while working from home and
the supply chain was providing all the necessities online. All sectors were unified in the efforts to
provide impeccable services to the consumers.
Demanding times like these tend to test the capability of organizations. While many struggled
with the changes, few companies adapted to the change and diversified their portfolio, and
persisted towards growth. In our latest issue, “The 10 Most Admired Companies to Watch in
2020”, we have featured such persistent organizations that are flourishing in the forefront. These
companies are becoming more diverse and comprehensive and utilizing a novel business strategy
to enhance performance.
Featured on our cover is mYngle, which leveraged its proven experience in the online learning
industry to survive and be at the 'right place' during these testing times. Apart from this, readers
will also discover the journey of inspiring companies such as SilexPro which is relentlessly
offering next-gen enterprise communication mantra for businesses. Furthermore, as the
operations shifted to the virtual platform, Ceresoft was swift in developing a virtual cloud base
architecture that assists the healthcare employees to work from home with ease. Also, Scribe
Technology Solutions is offering a complete family of patient encounter workflow. Alertgy is
developing advanced gadgets to easily keep track of glucose levels. Likewise, Unibio Group is
addressing health problems by integrating food and tech.
Also, in our enlightening article section, “Impact of CO ” our writers have entailed the adverse

“
The transition of the language training market from
offline to online has been fast-tracked due to the
new norms such as social distancing, quarantine,
and remote working. Responding to the surge in the
demand for online training, many traditional offline players
have shifted their solutions online. However, other than just
adding a tech solution for the virtual classrooms and
moving a teacher from a physical classroom to a computer,
good remote training requires a new set of expertise and
capabilities. Moreover, the way training is delivered,
content, interaction, and several other factors need to be
changed to provide a good user experience.
Among the numerous online language training providers
emerging globally, mYngle is distinguishing itself with its
avid experience and proven capabilities to deliver
successful online training. Trusted by hundreds of
companies across the world for their language learning
needs, mYngle is one of the first companies to provide one-
to-one teaching of all languages over the internet. The
Amsterdam- based firm is on a mission to bring high-
quality language education to learners in any part of the
world.
Customized Language Training Programs
mYngle offers customized language training programs
through video conferencing in 45 different languages

are one-on-one, with highly-qualified native coaches and
are related to the learner’s job position. These programs are
especially useful for busy professionals who need language
training to be successful in their international business, and
for companies that want great learning results and a
transparent and controllable learning process to make their
investment successful. For these solutions and the immense
contribution to online learning, mYngle has been rewarded
with numerous awards such as Accenture Innovation
Award, European Ventures Summit Award, Benelux Venture
Summit Award, and many more.
Uncompromised Quality and Customer Service
Alongside customized solutions, mYngle's customer-centric
approach is one of the keys behind its proliferance over the
years. The company strives to continuously improve by
constantly listening to the users' feedback. This approach is
essential especially in an industry such as online education,
which is already in an evolution phase and the unawareness
or inexperience of the customers is a more significant
challenge than the competition.
Furthermore, mYngle ensures the uncompromised quality
of teachers, content, and tools—which has made it a go-to
service provider with highly satisfied customers. “Our
average lessons' scores are 4.9/5. Results speak for
themselves,” said Marina Tognetti, the Founder and CEO
at mYngle

and drive the company towards it. Alongside, she also
fosters the company culture & values and guides the team.
As a Founder/CEO of mYngle, she has received several
recognitions such as 50 Most Inspiring Women Tech
Leaders in Europe, 50 Most Inspiring Women in the Dutch
Technology Sector, Iconic Women Creating a Better World
for All and many more.
However, establishing mYngle from scratch was a
challenge for her as the tech-startup was disrupting the
traditional education industry. There were impediments
such as the immature market and stereotypes that
consumers had about education. Combating several such
challenges, she has driven the company forward. Presently,
as the world goes digital due to the pandemic, the approach
towards online learning is also changing. “Now online
education is setting the standards in terms of quality and
flexibility. And we have been part of that. This has been for
me the greatest professional achievement to date,” she adds.
Making the Experience Count
The COVID-19 outbreak caused disruptions to many
businesses. Many of the traditional offline players were
challenged by the sudden shift. However, mYngle was
among the lucky ones as it already offered remote solutions.
Moreover, the company knew that migrating existing
classroom programs to digital was not only the mere
application of the existing technology solutions but it
required a more fundamental rethinking of the total learning
experience, from trainers to content. mYngle leveraged its
proven experience in the online learning industry to survive
and be at the 'right place' during these testing times.

19. Driving Virtual Connectivity and Culture
While building mYngle, Marina used to say, “If our
customers can learn a language at a distance, we should be
able to also run a company at a distance.” Consequently,
many of mYngle's key processes such as CRM and
programming were done at a distance and the company was
used to managing remote teams. However, as the pandemic
highlighted the importance of employee's well-being,
mYngle emphasized on encouraging and supporting its
employees. It focused on support, empowerment, and
empathy to keep a sense of belonging and togetherness
among the employees. The company also ensured a steady
stream of communication, from managers and between the
team members, to keep them updated on what's going on
and drive more virtual connectivity and culture.
Online Learning: Intrinsic Part of the New Normal
The adaption to online solutions is expected to be continued
post-pandemic. Likewise, the online learning market is also
expected to accelerate in the near future. Specifically for
corporate language training–mYngle's primary service
–there are two opposite forces at play. In the short term,
barriers such as budgetary constraints due to economic
instability and anxiety due to pandemic among learners
might hamper the adaption to online solutions.
However, in the medium and longer-term, online training is
expected to grow significantly. The Learning and
Development budgets will shift from offline to online
learning as learners who embrace online learning during the
pandemic might stick to it after the pandemic as well.
Consequently, online learning promises to be an intrinsic
part of the new normal.

24. The medical device and
diagnostic industry is
constantly growing and
changing with the new technologies
that are being introduced in the market.
This industry strives to create new and
innovative discoveries to diagnose
disease states as soon and as effectively
as possible. There is a real need for
continuous non-invasive measurement
of blood sugar levels for diabetics and
the 1/3 of the world population that is
borderline diabetic. As a result, there
have been various inventions to make
the monitoring of glucose levels easy,
convenient, and safer for the diabetic
patients.
Established in 2016, Alertgy provides
the first non-invasive, wearable,
continuous glucose monitor and alert
system to accurately measure blood
glucose. Alertgy's DeepGluco™ is a
wrist wearable device for fully
automated, continuous glucose
monitoring, with pre-set alerts for low
or high glucose levels, set by the
patient.
Inspiration behind Alertgy
The true inspiration behind
establishing Alertgy by the Founder
and CEO, Marc Rippen was a
personal traumatic experience. One
Sunday morning Marc found his wife
use. Marc set up Alertgy to meet this
challenge and in just a few months
demonstrated that it was possible to
beat it. Alertgy has developed the
system which is very economical and
most importantly meets the needs of
the diabetic patients as well as
borderline diabetics.
Marc put together a strong team of
clinicians, engineers, data scientists,
entrepreneurs, business leaders and
scientists, empowering each team
member to give it their best. He
considers himself responsible for the
growth of the employees on an
individual level, training them to think
out of the box in solving complex
problems, and helping them achieve
their goals on both personal and
professional levels.
Marc said that his background of being
a field engineer who provided solutions
to other companies has helped him lay
the bricks for his company. The
ultimate aim of Alertgy, as declared by
Marc is to provide the billions of
peoples whose lives are directly or
indirectly effected by diabetes a means
to save lives, dramatically improve the
quality of life, as well as prevent
diabetes on a global scale. Since the
team is a crucial key for any leading
company, Marc says he is blessed to
have a strong creative and supportive
in a catatonic state in their living room,
getting ready to slip into a diabetic
coma. Through his quick realization
that she was suffering from the effects
of super low blood sugar and his quick
steps in correcting that, he saved her
life. After researching what was
available for alerting folks like his wife
of such occurrences Marc realized that
none existed. The biggest unmet need
in the diabetic medical device market
was for an automated glucose monitor
and alert system that was practical,
non-invasive, inexpensive, and easy to

30. The dramatic spread of COVID-
19 in 2020 has disrupted lives,
livelihoods, communities, and
businesses worldwide. Healthcare
organizations around the United States
have been put under tremendous
financial and resource pressure in
performing incredible acts of bravery
taking care of COVID-19 patients.
Plus, trying to stay financially and
resource stable during one of the most
unstable periods in our lifetime.
Organizations around the globe,
including CereSoft, are coming
together and innovating to minimize
the impact on public health and to limit
disruptions to economies and supply
chains. Doctors, nurses, and healthcare
staff are diligently working to make
sure those hospitals are a safe and
effective place where people can obtain
the treatment they desperately need.
But, as COVID-19 has spread,
hospitals around the United States have
faced unprecedented strain.
Fortunately, CereSoft has created a
virtual cloud base architecture that
provides healthcare employees to be
able to work from home to process
payments while protecting themselves
CereSoft's RECON 2020 services have
allowed healthcare providers to take
full control and reconciliation of cash,
from the source of truth, the bank, all
the way through the revenue cycle
process, finally ending into the
accounting system balanced. With
RECON 2020 allowing fully funded
files to be loaded into the billing
system without human intervention has
allowed up to 90% of all ERA/EOB's
fully funded transactions to be loaded
into the billing system, touch-free. This
allows for employees to be reallocated
to revenue producing positions often
remotely. Case in point a major health
system on the east coast was forced to
send their entire employees home due
to the outbreak. This multi-billion-
dollar health system with the assistance
of the CereSoft revenue cycle
management services was able to make
the overnight transition from office to
home without losing one day of
posting cash.
Faces behind the Curtains
Dr. Hsing Hen Chen, the Founder,
and CEO of CereSoft, is at the helm of
its operations. HH is a visionary that
created a healthcare platform for
and their families from being exposed
to COVID-19. Healthcare
organizations that utilize the CereSoft
healthcare services are getting their
money from insurance and patient
posted and reconcile without disruption
during the COVID-19 pandemic while
not having to exposed employees by
forcing them to come into the office or
laying them off because of not having
income being posted and reconcile.

cribe Technology Solutions'
roots date back to 2001 when
Mark D. Boyce (CEO and
President) noticed that very small
amount of the information generated
during a patient encounter was used to
better the delivery and documentation
of healthcare. He noticed that both
providers and patients would benefit by
combining technology to capture and
later to manipulate and analyze that
information. Consequently, with an
innovative approach of using patient
data to better inform providers in order
to improve their productivity and
profitability, he decided to step into the
healthcare field and established Scribe
Technology Solutions.
As technology was not solving the
issues presented to the providers, the
company first looked at better ways to
complete clinical documentation
focusing on Electronic Medical
Records (EMRs) and patient
encounters. Recently, Scribe has found
solutions to improve its billing, coding,
and revenue cycle management
solutions for all healthcare providers.
Moreover, the widespread adaption of
mobile phones and devices provided a
foundation for the company to connect
its innovative technology to the
providers–giving them a 'platform in
their hands' that would improve their
profitability, productivity, and patient
care.
Moreover, providers can support the
care of their patients and facilitate
reimbursement with one tool.
· ScribeMobile:
It is an app for both Android and iOS
devices that gives providers greater
freedom to focus on their patients
instead of being tied to their computers
and keyboards. The application gives
providers the ability to capture patient
encounters quickly and efficiently, and
the ability to review, approve, and
access patient documents and
schedules at any time, and any place.
· LiveScribe:
It gives providers the option of having
a remote scribe to listen and record the
patient encounter in real-time, resulting
in more focus on the patient, faster, and
accurate documentation as the EMR is
completed by the scribe during the
encounter. Moreover, with the addition
of LiveScribe to ScribeMobile,
providers can further extend the
capabilities of their devices by
connecting to a remote (virtual) scribe
in real-time to complete encounters.
Scribe's each practice values the work
its sales engineers do to uniquely tailor
the solutions by listening and
understanding the workflows and goals
of the providers. “Our ability to utilize
Wide Spectrum of Solutions
Scribe provides a complete family of
patient encounter workflow solutions
to record, manage, complete, and
communicate clinical documentation
that can be combined in any way to
solve the individual organization's
needs. The company works with each
practice to learn about the providers'
workflow and goals to engineer the
processes that fit best. It premiere
solutions include,

wisdom, 'necessity is the
mother of all inventions'.
From the Roman plague to the
discovery of the new world in the
Americas, to combating world wars –
necessity has led to breath-taking
modern innovations. The COVID-19
pandemic is another travesty that has
forced all stakeholders to imagine a
new world. A new world where
technology can drive costs down
unshackles employees with more
autonomy and brings communication
to the forefront of growth. Hence,
technology isn't a north star on a dark
night today. On the contrary,
technology is the equivalent of 'open
sesame' for enterprise communication,
and growth. If you are looking out for
the next-gen enterprise communication
mantra in business, SilexPro is a
company worth looking out for.
A Futuristic Horizon
Every technology or innovation is
carved into a vision before it finally
surfaces, and takes the real world by
storm. SilexPro, launched in 2015
envisioned a unique meeting world
experience by engaging all senses. The
company today offers automated and
full-fledged video conferencing
collaboration solutions. The vision
ahead of its time understood the
limitations of our virtual experiences
and imagined something far more
elegant. A few years back, the
company had introduced solutions like
Silex PTE Center of Table solutions.
This unique all-in-one group
19. SilexPro has been revolutionizing
communication technology, mainly
conferencing and collaboration
solutions for several years. However,
during the covid-19 crisis, people have
realized the importance of seemingly
small human factors such as
maintaining eye contact during
conferences. The virtual nature of work
has forced people to take
communication far more seriously than
ever before. Moreover, it has also
driven demand for better audio-visual
experience for virtual conferences.
During the crisis, SilexPro has
launched a series of new collaboration
solutions that are easy to use, plug and
play and of high quality. These
solutions are suitable for any person
working remotely or from the office,
having a technical background or not.
The COVID-19 crisis is likely to be a
boon for early-birds like SilexPro,
which has foreseen the challenges of
virtual communication.
SilexPro has launched a variety of
solutions to meet the on-going
challenges. This includes High
quality/Low Cost Bluetooth headsets,
wireless speakers, Portable USB touch
screens, All-in-One USB cameras,
Flexible USB
DocumentCam/WebCam, All-in-One
smart projectors and more. Moreover,
the technology also engages viewers
keeping in mind factors like ease of use
and easy integration to further
enterprise communication needs.
Furthermore, SilexPro devices have
proven very effective in improving
collaboration system has been used by
prestigious organizations and
government entities alike for
professional conferencing and is likely
to become an item of choice after
COVID-19 since it provides natural
social distancing. The company
foresaw the downfall of group
collaborations during a crisis like the
COVID-19, and prepared solutions that
are easy to use, intuitive, and brought
enormous productivity on-board for
enterprises.
According to Ronald Hajj, the
passionate team at SilexPro is the
major driver of its success. Their
ability to bring positive disruption to
their clients and empowerment of
clients to drive their technological
prowess will continue to motivate the
team

organizations. One such example is the
single-click wireless presentation
systems introduced to share content in
a click from up to 4 presenters. This
has resulted in tremendous traction for
SilexPro through a positive response
from its customers. On their
continuous efforts to upgrade the
services and solutions, the CEO of
SilexPro, Ronald Hajj comments, “Our
customers reach out to us for our
exemplary innovation and cutting-edge
customization advantages. As long as
we stay ahead of the curve in solving
traditional problems in regular
meetings, we will continue to rain in
the storm of innovation in the digital
meeting world.”
A New Model for E-Learning
The field of e-learning has received a
major uplift during the COVID-19
crisis. On one hand, many teachers
unfamiliar with technology, unfamiliar
with etiquettes of virtual
communication are surfing the wave of
e-learning. Moreover, there are many
expensive technology solutions that
promise a seamless experience.
However, the seamlessness of the
experience is often limited by
connecting programs. Hence,
SilexPro's High Quality/Low Cost
series of intuitive and plug and play
devices (such as multiuse
Document/Webcam and portable USB
touch screens) is ideal for those
looking for easy to use solutions
offering a high quality for professional
use such as in e-learning.
As schools are under constant public
scrutiny during the pandemic, the e-
learning model will likely become an
important reality for many. Hence,
designing a foundation for tomorrow's
learning model has become essential.
Many also report positive stories for
children as colleges are forced to cut-
down fees for next year. The constant
pressure to move downwards in costs,
and growing demand for innovation in
technology, will likely spur growth for
SilexPro in the near future.
A Mantra for Success
Building a smart virtual room for
innovative communication has become
essential for office workers, as well as
for freelancers. Moreover, in corporate
settings, virtual conferences have
become significant as these offer cost-
saving advantage, and help increase
productivity for many employees.
SilexPro offers a bundle of suits for
remote employees, freelancers, and
employees working from the office as
well. These include cost effective
teleconferencing accessories like
quality Bluetooth headsets, portable
touch screens, HD Cameras with
wireless mics, flexible multiuse
document/web cameras and all-in-one
smart projectors. This helps provide a
seamless experience to all participants
from any location.
The Challenging Road Ahead
Economists worldwide anticipate
major challenges for businesses on the
road ahead. The COVID-19 crisis will
likely exacerbate the economic crisis
for many during the pandemic.
Moreover, the social distancing
guidelines will make it even more
difficult to bring productivity back to
pre-COVID levels. The management of
SilexPro understands that it is
important for businesses to invest in
modern innovative solutions to find a
new way to achieve growth objectives.
SilexPro management has empowered
its workforce with simplistic and
innovative solutions to meet the
challenges ahead.
The company focuses on taking e-
learning to the next level with its rich
offerings in the coming years.
According to Ronald Hajj, the
company will up its offering in the
coming months, along with new
solutions to tackle the foreseen
challenges and to set the trends for the
post-COVID19 “return to normal life”
period.

46. The need for animal protein in
today's world is increasing
rapidly. Being one of the
pioneer ventures in the biotechnology
sector with core competencies within
fermentation technologies, Unibio
Group is addressing this need with its
technology and end product—–the
protein. Unibio International was
incorporated in 2014 and acquired the
Danish company Unibio A/S. Unibio is
headquartered close to Copenhagen in
Roskilde, Denmark, and has all pilot
and demonstration-scale activities in
Kalundborg, the biggest industrial area
outside of greater Copenhagen. Unibio
aims to become the world market leader
within protein production technology
based on methanotrophic bacteria,
partly by production in Joint Ventures,
and partly by licensing the production
technology to international investors.
Uniprotein®: A High-value Microbial
Protein
Unibio has developed a sustainable,
organic, and environmentally-friendly
high-value protein —Uniprotein®
product—for animal feed. The
Uniprotein® product is a microbial
protein meal capable of replacing
fishmeal and soybean meal as a protein
ingredient in feed for various animals
including fish, shrimps, and pigs.
It is a microbial protein meal (approx.
70% protein) which is approved as feed
material by EU Commission Regulation
2017/1017 of 15 June 2017 on the
catalogue of feed materials. Moreover,
the Uniprotein® product is a non-
Methylococcus capsulatus. Moreover,
in addition to the bacterial culture and
substrates, water, phosphate, as well as
several minerals are used in the
fermentation process. This use of
methane gas to produce biomass is
beneficial to the environment as the
only by-product of the production is
water. CO2 is emitted in connection
with the production, however, these
emissions are only half of the CO2
emissions from gas flaring, the avoided
effect of producing a non-land or ocean-
based protein product should not be
neglected, as it will significantly lessen
stress on important ecosystems.
Supporting the UN's Sustainable
Goals
The most admired feature of Unibio is
that with its technology, it can improve
the climate and help lessen the effect of
food production on a global scale.
Unibio supports the UN's sustainability
goals (SDGs) and Uniprotein® product
supports four of these goals 2, 12, 14,
and 15.
Ÿ SDG 2: ®
The Uniprotein product
can be produced in large and almost
unlimited quantities, thus offering
an alternative to existing protein
sources without putting further
stress on ecosystems. Moreover,
Unibio's U-Loop® technology
makes it possible to produce protein
for animal feed and in the future for
human consumption as well.
Ÿ SDG 12: Unibio's technology
reduces the use of water as the
production of 1kg of Uniprotein®
product requires 10 L of water
polluting product and is produced by a
non-genetically modified microbial
culture with methane as the sole carbon

U-Loop® Technology: A Cutting-edge
Fermentation Technology
Alongside, Unibio has developed U-
Loop® Technology. In principle, the U-
Loop® fermenter can be used for all
fermentation processes where gases are
mixed with water. The protein is
produced by continuous fermentation in
the U-Loop® fermenter with static
mixers and a pump to drive to liquid
flow. The production process is aerobic
with methane gas as the carbon and
energy source for bacterial culture.
Oxygen is used for oxidation in the
fermentation process, and ammonia is
used as a nitrogen source.
The fermentation process uses the
