Urbo is a European smart bike sharing provider that partners with city councils. It provides bike sharing systems to councils free of charge and generates revenue from user membership and usage fees. Unlike other dockless systems, Urbo bikes lock to existing infrastructure using a cable lock system. This prevents bikes from being left anywhere and addresses a problem that Asian dockless competitors created by littering streets with abandoned bikes. Urbo has agreements in place to launch systems with over 200 councils across the UK and Ireland over the next three years and hopes to expand across Europe.

The future of mobility : An insurer storyXavier Hubert
MS Amlin is a global insurer that is part of the MS&AD Insurance Group. It provides insurance across many classes including property, casualty, marine, aviation and more. The presentation discusses how mobility is changing with new distribution models, more shared and multimodal transportation, and connectivity. This creates opportunities for insurers like developing telematics programs, focusing on individual customers rather than vehicle ownership, and partnering with new mobility companies. Insurers will need to adapt their products, pricing, and distribution to remain relevant in this evolving landscape.

Can e bike sales reach 30 million units per year - adam bodor - european cycl...Kevin Mayne
This document summarizes a presentation given at an event on cycling industries in 2030. The presentation discusses factors that could influence e-bike sales in Europe to reach 30 million units per year by 2030. It is argued that e-bike sales are growing at an average of 22% per year currently. However, sales could be higher if cycling is prioritized and made accessible to more people. The presentation identifies four influencers - money, regulation, knowledge, and infrastructure development - and provides examples of policies and investments that could encourage more cycling and higher e-bike sales under each category. Scenarios are presented suggesting potential e-bike sale levels depending on whether policies prioritize cycling or maintain the status quo.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.

Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.

(Q)SAR Assessment Framework: Guidance for Assessing (Q)SAR Models and Predict...hannahthabet
The webinar provided an overview of the new OECD (Q)SAR Assessment Framework for evaluating the scientific validity of (Q)SAR models, predictions, and results from multiple predictions. The QAF provides assessment elements for existing principles for evaluating models, as well as new principles for evaluating predictions and results. In addition to the principles, assessment elements, and guidance for evaluating each element, the QAF includes a checklist for reporting assessments.
This new Framework provides regulators with a consistent and transparent approach for reviewing the use of (Q)SAR predictions in a regulatory context and increases the confidence to accept alternative methods for evaluating chemical hazards. The OECD worked closely together with the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Italy) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), supported by a variety of international experts to develop a checklist of criteria and guidance for evaluating each criterion. The aim of the QAF is to help establish confidence in the use of (Q)SARs in evaluating chemical safety, and was designed to be applicable irrespective of the modelling technique used to build the model, the predicted endpoint, and the intended regulatory purpose.
The webinar provided an overview of the project and presented the main aspects of the framework for assessing models and results based on individual or multiple predictions.

URBO?
Urbo is a smart-bike share provider, focused on locations where we secure
exclusivity. First scheme launched in London in 2017. Signed agreements in
place with four London councils. Signatures in place with numerous UK & Irish
councils for Summer 2018 launches.
THE PROBLEM?
Many city and town councils can't afford bike-share schemes due to budget
constraints. A newly emerged dockless model from Asia has resulted meant
that council finance is no longer needed, but their system has resulted in
'littering of streets' as users can leave bikes anywhere.
THE SOLUTION?
Urbo provides bike-share systems to councils free of charge. Users pay via
membership and usage fees. Users unlock the bikes via an app on their
smartphone. Unlike many bike sharing systems, there are no docking stations.
Urbo has created a cable-lock solution, meaning bikes are locked to existing
parking infrastructure. This eliminates the ‘littering’ effect of the Asian model.
THE VALUE?
The value is in the users, with Urbo being a tech company. Evidence shows that
for each bike deployed, c. 10 users become members of the scheme. Urbo has
lined up agreements with councils to deploy almost 200,000 bikes in the next
three years.

Some European councils hesitant to trustlarge Chinese corporations. What hashappened in China is not acceptable toEuropean Councils.
Councils very cognisant to demise of someAsian operators.
Chinese companies focused on a few verylarge centres, leaving a significant open-market opportunity.
The European market is being regulated bycity and town councils.
Opportunity for European player to positionitself as the respected and trusted solution.Our team is well regarded and well placed.
First mover advantage has been gained withstrong relationships, already developed, withmultiple councils, in many Europeangeographies.

6. How We Plan to Grow in Europe
London acts as the show-room to Europe and is well respected by councils across Europe.
London is split into 33 councils. We launched in our first council in October 2017.
Urbo collaborated with both the council and Transport for London (TfL) to make this
happen. We launched in our second and third council in February 2018. We launch in
Tier-2 U.K. town on March 30th.
The focus for 2018 is on the U.K./Irish market. We are in advanced discussions with 9
Councils, which we can address subject to further funding.
We have 30 other councils in the U.K. where we are in active discussions, which can also
be brought forward to the 2018 timeframe subject to funding.
Through our strong relationships, we are now focused on councils where we can get an
exclusive relationship as the sole bike-share provider.
We have >60 other Councils, with ongoing engagement, where we would plan to launch in
2019. All of these have also signed Statements of Intent to use Urbo.
We continue to engage with >200 other councils across Europe as we build out our
pipeline of opportunity.
