TradeFlow Capital Management will mobilise capital and improve trade finance access for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in Latin America.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 20, 2021 — TradeFlow Capital Management will provide increased commodity trade support for businesses in Latin America by leveraging its innovative non-lending and non-credit based instruments. By empowering small businesses with the right level of financial support to execute import/export trades in bulk commodities, TradeFlow Capital will tackle the growing trade finance gap in Latin America and advance the objectives of the International Chamber of Commerce’s (ICC) Trade Now campaign.

During the World Trade Organization’s 2021 Global Trade & Blockchain Forum, ICC Secretary General John W.H. Denton AO announced the participation of TradeFlow Capital as part of ICC’s Trade Now campaign to improve SME access to short-term liquidity to survive the ongoing economic crisis and thrive in the post-pandemic future.

"ICC is delighted to launch this partnership with TradeFlow Capital to unlock liquidity for SMEs and keep the global economy moving forward. We are confident that our partnership with Tradeflow Capital and other initiatives under our ICC Trade Now campaign will create new, tangible opportunities for SMEs everywhere." said ICC Secretary General John W.H. Denton AO. 

"We have been active in Latin America since 2019 and are well-positioned to expand our services to the Commodity Trade industry there, and in particular to SMEs, based on our extensive experience in Africa. With more than 45% of SMEs having their requests for trade finance rejected with no access to alternative sources of funding, TradeFlow is pleased to support SMEs in particular through the ICC Trade Now campaign to enable trade by SMEs otherwise ineligible for traditional forms of lending in Latin America," said Dr Tom James, CEO and CIO of TradeFlow.

ICC TradeFlow Capital is one of a diverse range of solutions offered through ICC Trade Now to accelerate the provision of trade finance to SMEs. In the coming months, ICC will host a series of events for chamber of commerce leaders and other stakeholders to help find the liquidity and mechanisms needed to bridge the trade finance gap.

NDB initiates membership expansion, extends global outreach

Leave a comment

Development bank established by BRICS welcomes the admission of UAE, Uruguay and Bangladesh as new members

SHANGHAI, Sept. 2, 2021 — The New Development Bank (NDB) – established by BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) in 2015 – has initiated its membership expansion.

NDB’s Board of Governors authorized the Bank to conduct formal negotiations with prospective members in late 2020. After a round of successful negotiations, NDB approved the admission of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Uruguay and Bangladesh as its first new member countries.

"We are delighted to welcome the UAE, Uruguay and Bangladesh to the NDB family. New members will have in NDB a platform to foster their cooperation in infrastructure and sustainable development", said Mr. Marcos Troyjo, President of NDB. "We will continue to expand the Bank’s membership in a gradual and balanced manner".

"The United Arab Emirates’ membership in the New Development Bank represents a new step to enhance the role of the UAE economy on the global stage, especially in light of the great capabilities and expertise that the country possesses in supporting infrastructure projects and sustainable development. This monumental step would not have been achieved without the vision and directions of the UAE leadership who believe in the importance of supporting development projects around the world especially in the emerging economies", said H.E. Obaid Humaid Al Tayer, Minister of State for Financial Affairs of the UAE.  

"Uruguay sees in the NDB a great opportunity to harness cooperation with its member countries, aiming to achieve stronger international integration in trade and cross-border investment flows", said H.E. Azucena Arbeleche, Minister of Economy and Finance of Uruguay.

"Membership of Bangladesh to NDB has paved way for a new partnership at a momentous time of 50th anniversary of our independence. Membership in the NDB is an important step forward in meeting the development vision of our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina. We look forward to working closely with NDB to build together a prosperous and equitable world for our next generation as dreamt by our Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman", said Hon. A H M Mustafa Kamal, Minister of Finance of Bangladesh.

Once admitted, a country’s membership to NDB becomes effective when it completes its domestic processes and deposits the instrument of accession.

Since the beginning of its operations, NDB approved about 80 projects in all of its members, totaling a portfolio of US$ 30 billion. Projects in areas such as transport, water and sanitation, clean energy, digital infrastructure, social infrastructure and urban development are within the scope of the Bank.

NDB’s membership expansion is in line with the Bank’s strategy to be positioned as the premier development institution for emerging economies.

Background information

NDB was established by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa to mobilize resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects in BRICS and other emerging economies and developing countries, complementing the existing efforts of multilateral and regional financial institutions for global growth and development. NDB has an authorized capital of US$ 100 billion, which is open for subscription by members of the United Nations.

Colt Data Centre Services to Build New 45MW Osaka Keihanna Data Centre

Leave a comment

The new data centre in Keihanna Science City marks its fourth hyperscale facility in Japan

LONDON, Aug. 31, 2021 — Colt Data Centre Services (Colt DCS), a leading provider of global hyperscale data centre solutions, has commenced construction of its next hyperscale data centre with a ground-breaking ceremony in Japan. This 42,000m2, 45MW facility will be located in Keihanna Science City, in the Kansai area. The site will be ready to service Colt DCS customers in early 2023.

This carrier neutral and diversely connected facility will be purpose-designed to meet the scalable capacity demands of hyperscale and enterprise customers looking for large scale facilities to meet growing requirements. Following the 2011 earthquake in Japan, many companies realised the benefit of geographically dispersed sites and so there is a large demand for data centres near Osaka as an integral part of disaster recovery plans.

The facility will employ state-of-the-art cooling technologies to ensure high efficiency, while supporting Colt DCS and its clients’ sustainability targets.

The ground-breaking for this site swiftly followed the Colt DCS announcement of Fidelity’s joint venture with Mitsui to provide advanced hyperscale data centres in Japan, with potential further growth in APAC.
"Mitsui is very pleased to celebrate the ground-breaking for the first data centre project in Keihanna. Starting with this exciting project, Mitsui hopes to further strengthen our partnership with Fidelity and Colt for our JV," commented by Shinsuke Waka, GM of Financial Business Division, from Mitsui & Co.

"There has been a surge in cloud service demand throughout Japan, all of which requires carrier-neutral network access in the region, as well as disaster recovery sites," commented Quy Nguyen, Vice President, Global Accounts and Solutions. "Combined with the fact that the Kansai region of Japan has a population of around 22.4 million, generating enough GDP to position itself at the same level as the Top 20 countries, we expect this facility to be a key site for Colt DCS."

"The acquisition of this site is another stake in the ground for us, demonstrating the momentum of our hyperscale strategy and cementing our foothold in APAC," added Padraig MacColgain, Vice President, Head of APAC at Colt DCS. "This land was not originally available for purchase by a data centre operator due to Keihanna Science City being an area designated for research and development activities.  However, we received immense support from the Kyoto Prefectural authorities to help make our acquisition possible and want to thank them greatly for their support."

About Colt DCS

Colt Data Centre Services provide true service and operational excellence in the design, build, delivery and operational management of hyperscale data centres and hybrid cloud solutions to our customers across Europe and Asia pacific.

We have over 25 years of experience in operating 26 state-of-the-art carrier neutral data centres across 18 cities, offering 24/7 security and local language support.

Our connectivity and colocation solutions allow our customers freedom to plan effectively for the growth of their business, knowing that their data centre strategy is ready for the demands of tomorrow. https://www.coltdatacentres.net/

IIJ Launches New Managed ZTNA Secure Access Service “Safous”

Leave a comment

– Access Internal Resources Safely, Securely, and Easily from Verified Users and PCs –

TOKYO, Aug. 25, 2021 — Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ, TSE1:3774) is happy to announce the release of Safous, its managed Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) (*1) service. IIJ will start offering Safous through the IIJ Group’s subsidiaries in China, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam as of August 25.

"We have developed Safous to enable remote users and IoT devices to access various business resources inside the corporate network in a safe, secure, and easy manner," says Miki Tanaka, Global Service Director of IIJ. Safous, a remote access service based on zero-trust technology (*2), has been developed as an integrated security service by sequentially adding web access security functions (SWG: Secure Web Gateway) and functions to visualize cloud usage (CASB: Cloud Access Security Broker). IIJ is planning to expand the service area to Europe and the United States by 2022.

Safous allows pre-authorized users and/or IoT devices to securely connect to internal information resources such as business applications within the customer’s premise or in the cloud, under strong authentication, via an access point (PoP: Point of Presence) set up by IIJ. This configuration eliminates the need to allow external access to the corporate network and reduces the risk of attacks on the corporate network. The PoP can be used in eight regions (China, Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, Europe, USA, Canada, and South America), with more locations to follow.

Notes:

(*1) ZTNA: Zero Trust Network Access is an integral part of Zero Trust, and a next-generation service solution that enables remote users to seamlessly and securely connect to corporate resources. Instead of only verifying at the perimeter, ZTNA directs communication to applications and servers through a trusted PoP which will verify and authenticate each session. 

(*2) Zero Trust: New IT security philosophy based on "Never Trust Always Verify." Distinct from the conventional practice of securing the perimeter by creating a secure corporate network.

For details, visit the website: https://www.safous.com/

COVID-19 has forced many organizations and individuals to adapt to working from home, a new style of work where many employees are not in the office. As society shifts to this new style of work, it has increasingly become a challenge for corporations and organizations to maintain business continuity and increase productivity. Additionally, with the increased number of attack vectors, there has been a spike in cyberattacks targeting remote locations. With these international trends, many global businesses need to "ensure the same level of cybersecurity to users at home as it was in the office while making sure the network topology and environment are not overcomplicated." Safous is a solution designed to solve these problems. Initially, Safous consists of ZTNA functions adopted through a technology partnership with Israeli startup Cyolo (https://cyolo.io/company/). With simple installation with no need for agents or terminals, users will experience short lead times for this project. In addition, as a managed service, the service provides 24/7 operation monitoring and disaster recovery support. The main features of this service are as follows.

– Secure by design to reduce the risk of attacks

Safous’s architecture does not allow direct access from the outside to the internal network. Only authorized users and devices can access authorized applications, thus reducing the risk of attacks targeting any corporate network. 

– Strong user authentication and access control

One of Safous’s key functions, "access control," restricts access to authorized internal applications from non-authorized users and terminals. Access control can be fine-tuned according to various conditions such as terminal application, location, device, etc. In addition, authentication on the terminal side can be reinforced through multi-factor authentication and single sign-on authentication. This enables access to internal resources from outside the company to be more secure and more efficient.

– Can be used from anywhere in the world, on any device

Since Safous is compatible with agentless deployment, it can be used not only on PCs but also on IoT devices. The PoPs that PCs and IoT devices will connect to will be deployed in eight countries at launch, but the IIJ Group will gradually increase the number of PoPs so that the service can be used from anywhere in the world without delay.

Reference price

Basic fee: USD800.00
Account fee (per user): USD10.00
*Minimum contract account: 10 accounts
*Minimum contract term: 1 year
*Prices are for all countries and regions.

In the current fiscal year, the IIJ Group is targeting the Asian market, and it will expand to the European and U.S. markets by late 2022.
