Abu Dhabi International book fair set to return next month with dynamic hybrid programme Pubblicato: 05 Maggio 2021
The 30th edition of the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair (ADIBF) is set to return next month with a combination of both physical and online events. Hailed as a catalyst for cultural development in the Arab world and advancing the Arab publishing industry internationally,
the fair will take place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre from 23-29 May, with a dynamic hybrid programme and with speaker participation from around the world.
Under the newly established, ambitious Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre (ALC) at the Department of Culture and Tourism, Abu Dhabi, and with the continued support of Frankfurter Buchmesse, the newly re-invigorated ADIBF is a gateway to publishing in the Middle East, connecting the Arab and international publishing communities via global conversation. With the support of the Abu Dhabi authorities, and with strict C
Artificial intelligence is bypassing bank customers, study shows Wednesday 5 May 2021 14:36 CET | News
Germany-based IT service management company Senacor has released a study stating that customers of German banks do not notice banks use of artificial intelligence since institutes find it difficult to determine what consumers want.
The study was released in collaboration with the Interdisciplinary Center for Security, Reliability and Trust of the University of Luxembourg and the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology. It consisted of 22 qualitative interviews conducted with decision-makers at C-level, department heads, bank founders, fintechs and IT service providers. According to the study, banks use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve internal processes instead of for interacting with their customers. Users logging onto a bank s website do not notice whether artificial intelligence is at work or not. Institutes use AI to recognise patterns such as w

High-temperature technologies enable electrothermal storage systems for large amounts of energy from renewable sources. Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and the industry partner KSB have now launched the LIMELISA project to develop the necessary basis. Research is funded with EUR 3.8 million by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
Every year, wind parks and solar facilities in Germany produce thousands of gigawatt hours of power that cannot be used directly and therefore remain unused. At other times, lacking capacities are compensated by energy from fossil sources. Large-scale electrothermal storage systems may solve this problem and additionally enhance grid stability. The idea is to convert power into heat, to

“Critical technologies” finally found their way into German FDI rules but start-ups and financial investors may be less burdened than previously assumed.
The long-awaited 17th amendment of the Foreign Trade and Payments Ordinance (
Außenwirtschaftsverordnung -
AWV) has now come. It will enter into force on May 1, 2021.
After three amendments of the German FDI control regime in 2020, Germany now tightens its FDI control regime once again. The new changes further implement the Regulation (EU) 2019/452 of March 19, 2019 (EU FDI Screening Regulation), specially targeting “critical technologies” such as artificial intelligence, robotics, semiconductors, cybersecurity, aerospace, defense and many others. Mandatory FDI notification is now required for foreign investment in these tech-related targets. The new rules will definitely have a strong impact on future foreign investments and M&A activity in Germany. The goo
