June 5, 2021 5 minutes to read Disclosure: Our goal is to offer products and services that we think you will find interesting and useful. When you buy them, the entrepreneur can receive a small portion of the income from the sale from our trading partners. In our ever-connected, fast-paced digital world, we tend to think that innovation is around us all the time. But that is not necessarily the case. Take the modern internal combustion engine (ICE), for example. From cars to airplanes and everything in between, most ICEs are still big, bulky, and inefficient in terms of fuel consumption. Poor fuel efficiency, excessive complexity and unnecessary raw materials in manufacturing also lead to excessive production of CO2 and other pollutants. With the public and private sectors equally committed to green innovation, one company is...

Wang Weizhong said late last year that the government would bear 40% of its losses if they set up a fund in the South China technology center.

The media fascination with what price Bitcoin reaches - and then drops back over a short period of time - can lead to immense frustration for investors who are really trying to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the cryptocurrency. That says Peter Habermacher, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Aaro Capital, a specialized crypto-oriented asset management company. We're talking about the latest episode of Citywire Selector's Future Thinking Podcast Habermacher said media attention on Bitcoin and its associated blockchain is obscuring the true potential of the broader crypto landscape and distributed ledger technology (DLT). “This chat dominates the majority of media attention as Bitcoin climbs above $ 6,000, which has really put this room back in the spotlight. It can be frustrating at times as it's only a small part of crypto, a small part of crypto assets, and which is itself only a small part of the whole kind of DLT history, blockchain DLT and cry...
