Issued on behalf of Scope AI Corp.

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — USA News Group – While the world is already witnessing a revolution in artificial intelligence (AI) tools, how tech is applied to our security is about to change. With the rise of upcoming quantum computing power, cybersecurity leaders in the USA are hard at work studying the systems and technology that can withstand the oncoming wave potential new threats to data security. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently published the world’s first three official post-quantum cryptographic algorithms and tools designed to protect against future attacks. Meanwhile, in the wake of the 2024 Olympic Games, AI also had an impact on event security. Several tech developers are currently working on AI-powered security for the future, with recent developments coming from Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), Rigetti Computing, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGTI), Samsara Inc. (NYSE: IOT), Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV),and Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. (NASDAQ: CRDO).

Reflecting a strategic evolution beyond AI into a broader spectrum of cutting-edge technologies, Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF) recently announced its name change, moving on from its former Scope AI moniker. The name change came swiftly from the company’s recent closing of its quantum security technology acquisition, the QSE Quantum Gateway.

“Our new name better reflects the company’s evolution,” said James Young, CEO of Scope Technologies. “While AI remains a core part of our business, we are now a broader technologies company, actively developing innovative solutions in data security, quantum security and AI neural networks. This rebranding aligns with our mission to provide advanced technological solutions that meet the growing demands of businesses across multiple industries.”

Now in its ongoing drive for innovation, Scope Technologies is upgrading the QSE platform by integrating its proprietary AI neural networks and advanced visual recognition capabilities. Recently Scope announced improved QSE scalability and speed. These enhancements will significantly boost the platform’s ability to identify potential threats and secure data with greater speed and precision, solidifying Scope Technologies’ position as a frontrunner in the quantum security industry.

Another tech developer working to improve quantum computing capabilities is Rigetti Computing, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGTI, RGTIW), a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, which recently introduced a novel chip fabrication process for scalable, high performing quantum processing units (QPUs), dubbed Alternating-Bias Assisted Annealing (ABAA). The new process was detailed in a paper recently published in Nature Communications Materials. According to Rigetti, ABAA allows for more precise qubit frequency targeting, enabling improved execution of 2-qubit gates and improvement in performance, which both contribute to higher fidelity. Rigetti is already leveraging this technique to fabricate chips for its QPUs, including the NoveraTM QPU, and the upcoming AnkaaTM-3 system.

“We’ve long known that having our own foundry is a tremendous asset to our chip design and fabrication processes,” said Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, CEO of Rigetti. “Introducing the ABAA technique is a perfect example of our ability to rapidly test and implement new methods to improve our capabilities. We believe this new technique strengthens our path to scaling to even higher qubit count systems with greater control over our qubit performance.”

AI and tech innovation is not only improving data security, but physical security as well.

For example, cloud-connected operations experts Samsara Inc. (NYSE: IOT) recently announced it had vastly improved the safety of fleet operations by implementing advanced AI solutions for Lanes Group (the UK’s largest provider of wastewater solutions). As per the release, Lanes Group saw its safety scores improved by 72% and a boost in driver engagement, after eight months with Samsara.

“The number one priority for our customers is getting their drivers home safe at night, and at Samsara, we’re committed to helping them achieve that goal,” said Philip van der Wilt, SVP and GM EMEA at Samsara. “With Lanes Group providing vital services up and down the UK, having full visibility of its fleet has been key to transforming its day-to-day operations. But, our approach doesn’t just provide better visibility into safety—it enables behavioural and cultural change that ultimately saves lives.”

Also in Europe, AI-based screening security technology company Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV) recently announced how it helped to protect European events this summer. In particular, Evolv served as a security screening provider for one of the world’s largest global sporting competitions that took place in Europe, screening over five million people, including 10,000 competing athletes, fans and media.

Prior to the announcement, Evolv was awarded a patent issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that covers the differentiating technology used in its flagship Evolv Express offering. Launched in 2019, Evolv Express leverages cutting-edge sensor technology and artificial intelligence to accurately identify and differentiate various potential threats from everyday objects like phones and keys. Its primary goal is to efficiently screen visitors while minimizing entry point delays and maintaining smooth traffic flow.

“The technology covered by this patent is foundational to Evolv Express and what we believe sets us apart from other weapons detection systems,” said Michael Ellenbogen, co-founder and chief innovation officer at Evolv Technology. “The patent reminds us how important innovation is to drive advancement in the physical security industry, which, until Evolv Express, had remained relatively unchanged over the past 100 years.”

Helping for better connection and speed for data transfers, Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. (NASDAQ: CRDO) is set to showcase its optical solutions at the upcoming 25th China Intenrational Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE). Credo is an innovator in providing secure, high-speed connectivity solutions that deliver improved energy efficiency as data rates and corresponding bandwidth requirements throughout the data infrastructure market.

“Credo is excited to showcase our latest 400G and 800G optical DSP innovations for AI networking, where we can connect with our customers from around the globe,” said Chris Collins, Associate Vice President of Marketing for Credo. “CIOE is renowned for bringing together the best and brightest in the optoelectronics industry, and I look forward to meeting with our customers to align our cutting-edge solutions with their evolving needs.”

Credo is also coming off releasing positive Q2 FY2025 financial results, that included revenue of $59.7 million, representing a growth of 70% year over year.

Top-Notch B2B Sellers from South and Southeast Asia Crowned Champions at Alibaba.com’s KEL Award Grand Finale

Published

on

By

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Nov. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Alibaba.com, a leading platform for global business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce, yesterday hosted the Key E-Commerce Leader Award (KEL) Grand Finale in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The event celebrated the achievements and contributions of outstanding B2B e-commerce sellers from across South and Southeast Asia, reflecting Alibaba.com’s commitment to fostering the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the global e-commerce sector.

The event brought together 10 top-notch e-commerce sellers from Vietnam, India, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia in one of the region’s most vibrant cities, Ho Chi Minh City. These exceptional sellers exemplify the transformative power of Alibaba.com’s platform, which enables local businesses to grow into global players by providing access to international markets and digital tools. The KEL Award spotlighted their achievements, resilience and leadership, inspiring other SMEs to embrace cross-border opportunities and reach international markets.

After hours of intense business case pitching by the top 10 finalists and careful deliberation by the judging panel, Alibaba.com announced the top 3 Key E-Commerce Leaders for KEL Award 2024 went to Ms. Xuan Hai Yen (Yanni), Deputy Director at Proline Vietnam Manufacture and Trading from Vietnam; Ms. Natasha Gogna, Managing Director of Shri Krishna International from India and Mr. Tayyub Hussnain, Founder of Norwich Streetwear from Pakistan. Additionally, the event awarded Mr. Tayyub Hussnain as the winner of the People’s Choice Award, determined by audience votes.

The judging panel included distinguished Alibaba.com leaders and experts: Mr. Shawn Yang (General Manager of Global Business Development at Alibaba.com), Mr. Roger Luo (Head of South and Southeast Asia at Alibaba.com), Ms. Ella Xie (Director of Global Business Development at Alibaba.com), and Ms. Savannah Zheng (CEO of CGCH & Awins).

Mr. Shawn Yang, General Manager of Global Business Development at Alibaba.com, shared: “Through the inspiring stories shared by the sellers at the KEL Award, Alibaba.com aims to motivate businesses across South and Southeast Asia to engage actively in the high-potential arena of global digital trade. For those who have already embarked on their digital trade journeys, we hope these success stories offer valuable insights and strategies for breakthrough, innovation, and diversified growth to succeed on a global scale.”

One such inspiring story comes from Ravin Sadh, founder of Conifer Handmades, whose journey demonstrates the immense potential of digital trade through Alibaba.com. He has spent the past two decades building a successful export business in the gifts and crafts industry without ever stepping into a traditional trade expo or needing to travel abroad. Since joining Alibaba.com in 1999, when the platform was newly established, Ravin has relied exclusively on it to reach customers worldwide. Today, 100% of Conifer Handmades’ business comes from Alibaba.com, with exports spanning over 35 countries. Focused on sustainable gift bags and crafts, Ravin’s business has grown exponentially through Alibaba.com’s digital platform, allowing him to connect with international buyers without the typical need for in-person networking or overseas travel. In fact, he only acquired a passport to attend the KEL Award Grand Finale, marking his first journey abroad as a testament to his commitment and success through Alibaba.com alone.

One of the 10 finalists, Tayyub Hussnain from Norwich Streetwear, shared a compelling story that underscores the transformative power of ambition and innovation in e-commerce. After graduating from Govt. Murray College in Sialkot in 2014, he embarked on his career with a modest monthly salary of 16,000 PKR. His entrepreneurial journey in the apparel industry was catalyzed when he received a laptop from the Chief Minister of Punjab, which introduced him to Alibaba.com. Through this platform, he secured his first major order of 770 pieces of clothing, an accomplishment that significantly boosted his confidence. This newfound assurance led Hussnain to leave his stable job and devote himself fully to building his business on Alibaba.com.

Xuan Hai Yen, Deputy Director of Proline Vietnam Manufacture and Trading, is a dynamic leader who has turned her family’s business into a multimillion-dollar enterprise with double-digit revenue growth over the past nine years. With 15 years of experience in the import-export and e-commerce sector, Yen exemplifies how resilience and a forward-thinking approach can drive transformative growth.

Yen took charge of the company during challenging times, crafting digital strategies to modernize operations and expand into global markets. Her vision to embrace digital solutions, particularly through Alibaba.com, helped revive the company, leading to an impressive 30% growth rate. Today, Proline exports a diverse range of products, including food bags, ESD anti-static bags and more. Under her leadership, Proline successfully expanded its reach to over 15 countries, including the U.S., UK, Malaysia, India, Thailand, Russia, Cambodia and Australia. Within just four months of joining Alibaba.com, the company secured its first U.S. order, a significant milestone in its growth journey. These success stories illustrate the transformative potential of e-commerce, with Alibaba.com serving as a vital growth engine, connecting businesses to the global market and maximizing their potential.

The Top 10 Finalists of the 2024 KEL Award Grand Finale included:

Ms. Xuan Hai Yen (Yanni), Deputy Director at Proline Vietnam Manufacture and Trading Limited Company, VietnamMr. Can Quang Sang, Marketing Manager of VIHABA Co., LTD, VietnamMs. Nguyen Thi Loan, Founder and CEO of Centic Vietnam JSC, VietnamMr. Ravin Sadh, Founder of Conifer Handmades, IndiaMs. Natasha Gogna, Managing Director of Shri Krishna International, IndiaMr. Muzafar Hussain, Overseas Marketing Head of JNM Leather Safety Gloves, PakistanMr. Tayyub Hussnain, Founder of Norwich Streetwear, PakistanMs. Nitcharee Ujjin, Co-founder of Thumbinthai Co., Ltd., ThailandMr. Nicholas Tee Kai Xuen, Vice President of L.K.Tee Enterprise Sdn Bhd, MalaysiaMr. Fahmi Zaenal, Co-founder of PT Pohacee Cartens International, Indonesia
