NEC Indonesia and Sinar Mas Land Forge Partnership for Adaptation Finance Development to Mitigate the Impact of Climate Change

Leave a comment

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — NEC Indonesia and Sinar Mas Land, through its subsidiary PT Samakta Mitra, have started a strategic partnership to mitigate the impact of climate change by leveraging Adaptation Finance and disaster mitigation visualisation technology. Adaptation Finance is an initiative developed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), designed to assess the risks and impacts of natural disasters caused by climate change. It aims to identify risks early, plan mitigation strategies, and foster greater business resilience.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to begin a joint study on Adaptation Finance in Indonesia between Sinar Mas Land and NEC Indonesia was signed by Irvan Yasni, CEO of Technology Advisory and Business of Sinar Mas Land, and Joji Yamamoto, President Director of NEC Indonesia, at the Biomedical Campus, BSD City, last 15 October 2024. Yutaka Ukegawa, Corporate Executive Vice President of NEC Corporation, and Mulyawan Gani, Chief Transformation & Data Officer of Sinar Mas Land, were also in attendance.

Joji Yamamoto shares, “This collaboration marks an important first step in realising the Adaptation Finance initiative for mitigating the climate change. We believe that the technology and solutions offered by NEC can contribute to developing adaptive financial solutions that can be applied across various sectors. We look forward to this partnership with Sinar Mas Land’s subsidiary, PT Samakta Mitra. Previously, NEC implemented the same solutions in Japan, supported by major insurance companies. The success of this endeavour emphasises the significant potential of this collaboration to bring positive impacts to Indonesia’s financial services industry, particularly in addressing the growing climate challenges.”

Irvan Yasni adds, “Adaptation Finance presents a great opportunity to create a more sustainable and safer environment in the face of disaster risks resulting from climate change. Together with NEC Indonesia, we will conduct a joint study on Adaptation Finance to develop case studies that anticipate adaptation steps and solutions to climate change across various sectors. By applying technology with disaster risk and climate change mapping, insurance companies can estimate potential losses and mitigate existing risks, allowing for more effective mitigation efforts.”

Through this collaboration, Sinar Mas Land and NEC Indonesia will develop risk visualisation solutions capable of mapping the potential for natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and tropical cyclones. This will thereby accelerate the adoption of disaster risk mitigation solutions among insurance companies, banks, and investment firms. This initiative also supports better protection for communities and infrastructure in the future.

By utilising data-driven solutions, predictive analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI), NEC Indonesia will identify potential threats, assess environmental impacts, and provide more effective risk mitigation recommendations. This technology enables more strategic and sustainable allocation of funds, allowing Adaptation Finance to deliver positive effects on society, the business community, and the environment. (*)

Clarivate Medtech Intelligence and Relatable software enhance product data management and competitive conversion efficiency for medtech sales, contracting and pricing teams

LONDON, Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Clarivate Plc (NYSE: CLVT), a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, today announced a strategic partnership with Relatable Healthcare, a technology company delivering Product Relationship Management (PRM) software to leading medtech companies to drive revenue and workflow efficiency.

Relatable™ is a Product Relationship Management (PRM) platform created for medtech manufacturers and distributors to unlock new competitive conversion capabilities that drive cost-efficient revenue growth. The platform establishes a single source of truth for all information associated with specific products and their direct competitors, populating a data management platform available to contracting, sales, marketing and technical support teams.

Within the Relatable™ platform, customers can now access comprehensive competitive intelligence from Clarivate in addition to product specifications and cross-references, inventory availability, sales collateral, EPP data, chemicals of concern, manufacturing origin, or any custom proprietary data a customer wishes to manage.  This partnership empowers Clarivate and Relatable clients to make confident strategic pricing decisions, streamline sales contracting processes, and enhance contract compliance by offering comprehensive tools and insights to manage the entire contracting cycle effectively. 

Andrew Lee, Vice President Medtech, Life Sciences & Healthcare, Clarivate, said: “At Clarivate, we are focused on expanding our market intelligence and data analytics offering in the medical device and technology sectors while providing powerful workflow solutions that turn data-driven insights into decisions and actions that accelerate growth for our clients. This new strategic partnership enables us to support the industry in getting products to patients faster.”

Joshua Emert, CEO of Relatable Healthcare, said: “At Relatable Healthcare, we are dedicated to creating intuitive software that modernizes how innovative medical device and supply companies leverage product intelligence to drive efficient revenue growth. We are excited to partner with Clarivate and its medtech customers to automate workflows across contracting, sales, marketing and product support. This will enable instant cross-referencing of competitive products in RFP responses, more frequent measurement of contract compliance and proactive discovery of conversion opportunities in the field.”

In an evolving healthcare landscape, medical device and supply companies, along with their distributors, face significant challenges in communicating their product value and offering consultative insights. They also struggle with driving adoption and analyzing market trends effectively. Cost-constrained healthcare providers rigorously evaluate purchasing decisions, comparing devices and supplies in detail.
