ALPHARETTA, Ga., Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the aerospace, medical, automotive and industrial sectors are confronted with the critical issue of shrinking component lifespans impacting the longevity of the equipment they’re incorporated. Flip Electronics’ expansion across EMEA will bring critical expertise in obsolete and end-of-life semiconductors and electronic components to OEMs looking to efficiently source factory-authorized electronic components that enable them to reliably and effectively extend their products’ lifecycles.

Flip Electronics has seen steady growth in EMEA after its regional debut at electronica 2022. Nigel Watts, director, EMEA, Flip Electronics, along with senior technology OEM and distribution industry professionals David Lenton, regional sales manager, and Filippo Mursia, regional sales manager, will build on this momentum and further expand the company’s presence across the region.

“Bringing expertise in obsolete and end-of-life semiconductors to EMEA enables regional and global OEMs to extend product lifecycles for their customers,” noted Watts. “Through well-established supplier relationships, supply chain expertise and extended manufacturing capabilities, we help protect OEMs from costly production shutdowns, product redesign and the risks associated with procuring semiconductors and electronic components on the grey market.”

Donors Give a Record-breaking $37 Million During Minnesota’s Annual Give to the Max Day

The statewide giving day raised money for 6,556 Minnesota nonprofits and schools

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Tens of thousands of donors from Minnesota and around the world gave more than $37 million to 6,556 organizations during Give to the Max Day yesterday, the 16th annual statewide giving event for Minnesota nonprofits and schools. This year’s giving total surpassed last year’s $34.2 million, setting a new record, previously held in 2021.

Organizers at GiveMN are delighted with the outcome, particularly in light of national trends suggesting that donations may remain flat or decline again this year. This remarkable display of generosity bolsters the resilience of nonprofits and schools across Minnesota, many of which depend on Give to the Max as their largest annual fundraiser.

Give to the Max Day 2024 drew donors both within Minnesota and around the world. Contributions and participation spanned all 87 Minnesota counties, every U.S. state, and 36 countries worldwide.

Originally conceived and launched in 2009 as a one-time campaign to raise awareness for the new GiveMN.org fundraising platform, Give to the Max Day has since evolved into Minnesota’s yearly celebration of generosity and a powerful demonstration of support for organizations throughout the state and the 11 Native nations that share the same geography. Donors have given more than $365 million to more than 10,000 organizations since the inaugural Give to the Max Day in 2009, making it one of the first and largest giving days in the nation.

“While more than $37 million raised is an incredible achievement, it’s just the beginning of the story,” said Jake Blumberg, executive director of GiveMN. “The true power of yesterday’s generosity lies in the countless lives and communities that will be transformed across Minnesota. Thanks to the support of thousands of donors, nonprofits and schools are equipped to create lasting change in our state.”

GiveMN distributed over $100,000 in prize grants to Minnesota organizations with “Golden Ticket” drawings every 15 minutes, adding a surprise element of generosity for more than 150 donors. This year, the grand prize Super-Sized Golden Ticket awarded a $10,000 bonus to Our Justice in Minneapolis.

Give to the Max Day was presented with support from sponsors at the Bush Foundation, the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation, Initiative Foundation, Northwest Minnesota Foundation, Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation, Southwest Minnesota Initiative Foundation, and West Central Initiative.

GiveMN.org is online and available year-round as a central hub for generosity in Minnesota. Donors may create a free account to set up monthly gifts, set up fundraisers for their favorite causes and download reports of their giving history. Visit GiveMN.org to learn more.

Bendable Labs announced today that it has been named by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences as a bronze winner in the fourth annual Anthem Awards.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Bendable Labs announced today that it has been named by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences as a bronze winner in the fourth annual Anthem Awards.

“Technology is at its best when it’s used to connect people to people, not just people to platforms.”

The company was recognized in the “Responsible Technology – Partnership or Collaboration” category for a project in Carlsbad, California, which equipped the local public library with a digital job-readiness platform for its patrons. Goals included helping the library play a more effective role in the local workforce ecosystem, fostering economic mobility for entry-level job seekers and providing insights to successfully scale the model to other communities.

“What this project in San Diego County demonstrated is that technology is at its best when it’s used to connect people to people, not just people to platforms,” said Sarah Zaner, co-president of Bendable Labs, a social purpose corporation that designs, builds and tests solutions in the areas of lifelong learning, workforce development and job quality. “We’re grateful to all of our local partners, especially the Carlsbad Department of Innovation & Economic Development and the Carlsbad City Library, for helping us realize this vision.”

The fourth Annual Anthem Awards was the most competitive yet, with more than 2,300 entries submitted from 34 countries.

“As a startup, it’s both exciting and validating to see us being honored alongside such outstanding organizations as AARP, Samsung and the United Nations Development Programme, and UNICEF USA,” said Rick Wartzman, Bendable Labs co-president. “These are challenging times, and we’re all trying to make a difference in our own way.”

Wartzman and Zaner noted that the library-based workforce development model that was piloted in Carlsbad is now being rolled out in west Tennessee, where Ford Motor is building a $5.6 billion “mega campus” to assemble an expanded lineup of electric F-Series vehicles. Bendable Labs is partnering with the Tennessee State Library to create job-readiness pathways at 18 libraries throughout the region. Entry-level job seekers will be able to earn a library-backed microcredential, signaling that they have in-demand skills and are ready to go to work or acquire more advanced training.
