  • The UN small business agency and the tech giant train small businesses in developing countries to sharpen digital skills and engage in e-commerce

    The UN small business agency and the tech giant train small businesses in developing countries to sharpen digital skills and engage in e-commerce

    (Abu Dhabi) – The International Trade Centre (ITC) signed a letter of intent with Microsoft Corporation on the sidelines of the World Trade Organization Ministerial Conference, to develop and roll out training for small businesses to strengthen their digital skills, on topics ranging from artificial intelligence (AI) for trade to cybersecurity and e-commerce.  

    This collaboration is aimed at addressing the gap between an increasingly digital trading landscape and the lack of knowledge and skills of small businesses in developing countries to sell online.  

    Through the partnership, ITC and Microsoft will also advocate for inclusive digital trade practices and policies, as digitalization of – and by – small businesses helps contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.  

    Exchanging best practices, upgrading skills 

    As part of ITC’s Inclusive Digital Entrepreneurship in the Agri-food Sector (IDEAS) project in Nigeria, Microsoft will offer tailored capacity building, including courses on Microsoft 365 products such as Excel, Word and PowerPoint, as well as entrepreneurship courses aimed at fostering entrepreneurial thinking, business management, finance management and market research. Additionally, Microsoft will deliver training on using AI for trade and strengthening cybersecurity skills. Certified trainers will ensure beneficiaries apply the newly acquired skills in practice. 

    ITC will offer tailored e-commerce content for Microsoft’s Digital Skills Nigeria Training Portal. This new content will enable more businesses in Nigeria to acquire the latest e-commerce knowledge and skills. 

    The partnership with Microsoft is central to ITC’s mission to support small businesses to trade and enhance their competitiveness and is a step towards achieving digital inclusivity and fostering sustainable and inclusive economic growth in developing countries. 

    ‘The partnership with Microsoft means small businesses from developing countries will gain the digital and entrepreneurial skills they need to succeed in fast-changing global markets,’ said Pamela Coke-Hamilton. ‘Digital is the game-changer in global trade – and now small businesses will be able to benefit more from it.’  

    ‘There is a lot of research that demonstrates the impact small businesses have on a community and a nation’s wider economy,’ says Caroline Mutepfa, Philanthropies Lead at Microsoft. ‘According to the World Economic Forum, small businesses make up 95% of all registered businesses and contribute 50% of GDP in sub-Saharan Africa. It is, therefore, crucial that these businesses receive the support they need to thrive in a digital economy. Our work with the ITC aligns with Microsoft’s mission to help individuals and organizations achieve more. Through digital skills building, we hope to leave no business behind.’

  • Rili: Your Digital Twin, Your Partner in Self-Improvement

    Rili: Your Digital Twin, Your Partner in Self-Improvement

    • Rili.ai is AI based social network able to generate a digital twin based on the information you decide to provide
    • “Rilis” is redefining how individuals connect, interact, create, communicate, and even work in the digital age
    • One interesting use case is the possibility of self-improvement, using our Rili as a “mirror” for our personality
    • The Rili beta version is already live for users to join the waiting list. It’s available for both iOS and Android

    Since Rili.ai launched its AI-powered app, allowing users to cultivate their digital twin by training it with content in over 100 languages, the use cases have been blossoming in the minds of both the fortunate initial users and the founders.

    Rili.ia aims to redefine how individuals connect, interact, create, communicate, and even work in the digital age. Thanks to advanced AI algorithms and machine learning capabilities, anyone can create their own digital twin and interact with anyone, anytime, and anywhere; to break down communication barriers, foster worldwide friendships and unlock infinite possibilities for usage. 

    Among the many ways a Rili can be useful for the users, one of the most unexpected is to pave the path for self-improvement. A Rili is built by information we provide through chat (written messages or voice audios), by speaking into a microphone, or with a digital print (allowing it to access our TwitchX, and YouTube profiles) to ultimately becoming our digital twin. Thus, it can be a perfect mirror of our personalities: no better way to know ourselves than listening to ourselves unmediated and raw. Where traditional mirrors can only show us our face and our body like it is, a Rili can show us our inner self responses, emotionality, humor, silences, discourse. We can actually see ourselves more truly than ever, providing a self-knowledge as we have never had access. The socratic “know yourself” is more pure than ever in history.

    “The power and magic of Rili.ai is that we can still find surprising and unexpected applications for our digital twins. We think that this will define the new generation of social media platforms like ours. Powered by AI and using the most relevant state-of-the-art technologies, its development will be a turning point for the history of communication”, highlighted Antonio Camacho, Co founder.

    The AI-powered app revolutionizes the learning experience, removing barriers to knowledge and promoting a culture of continuous growth. Users not only have the chance to learn from themselves but also from a diverse array of individuals, transcending traditional communication boundaries. Whether engaging in meaningful conversations with other users or utilizing their digital twin for personal development, Rili empowers individuals to broaden their horizons and elevate both their personal and professional lives. By connecting with others and engaging in dialogue, users can glean valuable insights and perspectives, fostering mutual growth and development.

    AI app to tackle the unwanted loneliness

    Rili is an app founded by two pioneering entrepreneurs, Antonio Camacho and Jorge Cuervo. Since 2017, they have been developing Artificial Intelligence solutions, initially utilizing real-time data and predictive models in artificial intelligence to empower large companies such as Santander Bank and Carrefour to make informed decisions. Antonio and Jorge decided to apply artificial intelligence to tackle a new challenge generated by current society: the issue of unwanted loneliness affecting people worldwide. In less than two months, they developed a prototype of Rili.

    Rili.ai revealed itself as a tool to expand your knowledge, gain insights and information from other individuals, or delve deeper into meaningful conversations with other users so that you can apply them to your personal and/or professional life. 

    Join Rili’s white list

    The Rili beta version is already live for anyone interested in joining the community. You can sign up for the white list and will be notified once you have access to create your own Rili. The app is available for iOS and Android. The beta version will be active until the end of May to test and refine the platform with a limited number of users. After this period, Rili will be open to everyone.

    About Rili

    Rili.ai is an AI-powered app which is able to create digital twins using different technologies. It was co-founded by Antonio Camacho and Jorge Cuervo, two entrepreneurs with experience creating an AI-based company: Hocelot. Rili is currently headquartered in Belgium and is available on both iOS and Android platforms, providing accessibility to users worldwide. The app is free to download and use, making it accessible to anyone seeking to enhance their social networking experience. 

    Rili.ai offers a dynamic app where users can interact with their digital twins, explore diverse communities, and engage in authentic conversations. Fighting against loneliness in the world, Rili enhances people’s relationships and takes them to the next level. Rili’s motto, “Search, Explore, and Bond,” reflects its commitment to facilitating connections and fostering growth. 

    Join Rili.ai today and embark on a journey of growth, connection, and personal development in the digital age.

  • Flexitarian Diet: An Easier Approach to Eating HealthyComing up with a wholesome meal plan could be a struggle for both experienced and new cooks alike — especially a healthy one!

    Flexitarian Diet: An Easier Approach to Eating HealthyComing up with a wholesome meal plan could be a struggle for both experienced and new cooks alike — especially a healthy one!

    Scrolling through social media for a recipe worth trying could be mind-numbing. Search results for a “healthy meal” would most likely just lead to multiple choices of greens; and a drastic change in diet like this could be intimidating for most. Adapting to a flexitarian diet can be an easier approach.

    This is a semi-vegetarian diet that increases the consumption of plant or plant-based foods and beverages, along with smaller meat portions. Veega provides a variety of delicious and protein-rich options such as Veega Meat-Free Nuggets and Veega Meat-Free Burger Patty — dishes that even kids will enjoy. This is also perfect for the Lenten season.

    Elevate your meals with Veega — mmmeaty without the meat! Check out a variety of recipes in Home Foodie and get to shop conveniently from San Miguel Mart.

  • NBDB urges focus on readership and literacy initiatives; ramps up efforts to boost reading among Filipinos

    NBDB urges focus on readership and literacy initiatives; ramps up efforts to boost reading among Filipinos

    The National Book Development Board (NBDB) urges policymakers, educators, community leaders, and stakeholders to prioritize readership and literacy initiatives, while also involving parents in efforts to make reading more accessible to all segments of the population.

    This call follows the release of the 2023 National Readership Survey (NRS) results, showing a notable decline in non-school book readership among Filipino adults and children. The survey revealed adult readership at 42% and children at 47% in 2023. Access to books emerged as the primary reason for the decline, with limited awareness of public libraries and constraints like time and distance cited as barriers to visits.

    These results have prompted the NBDB to reaffirm its commitment to bolstering existing programs and policies to reignite a love for reading among Filipinos.

    “These findings, which provide a much-needed nuanced understanding of Filipinos’ reading habits and preferences, reinforce the fact that access to quality books remains a pressing issue in book publishing and education, so the sectors’ focus now clearly has to be on addressing gaps in access,” said NBDB Chairperson Dante “Klink” Ang II.

    Moreover, Chairperson Ang stated that the NBDB and its partners will examine various proposals to develop meaningful policy directives aligned with the objectives of Republic Act No. 7743, which aims to establish congressional, city, and municipal libraries, along with barangay reading centers nationwide. According to a 2018 study by the National Library of the Philippines, only 3% of LGUs have local libraries across the country.

    “One of the main hindrances to reading revealed by the survey is access to reading facilities such as public libraries, particularly in the provinces. Some of them are really beyond the reach of those living in mountainous areas, for example. Besides expanding the Book Nook project, we will also work to bring libraries closer to the people,” Chairperson Ang added.

    Meanwhile, NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade emphasized the significance of enhancing NBDB’s readership efforts, particularly through initiatives like the Book Nook project. This project establishes reading and storytelling centers across the Philippines, featuring locally published books and serving as distribution hubs for publishers. By offering quality books in various Philippine languages, the Book Nook project addresses access and literacy issues in a single space, fostering education and community engagement in a safe and inclusive environment where visitors can participate in activities, borrow books, and take them home at no cost.

    Additionally, the Philippine Book Festival (PBF) promotes a robust reading culture while providing guidance on institutional book purchases. Like the Book Nook project, the PBF brings quality books to readers nationwide while facilitating collaboration between major buyers of educational resources and Philippine publishers.

    To encourage involvement in the local book economy, NBDB launched Booklatan sa Bayan, inviting both avid and passive readers to explore literature and culture. NBDB collaborates with reading advocacy groups such as the Reading Association of the Philippines, the Philippine Librarians Association, Inc., and the Adarna Group Foundation, Inc., to synergize efforts in enriching the nation’s reading culture.

    “Programming must work hand in hand with policy. Besides readership programs, we will push for policies that democratize distribution and enable publishers to publish more affordable books,” Executive Director Tugade emphasized.

    “These survey findings should serve as a call to arms: an opportunity to acknowledge and better understand the current state of readership, to reframe the problems they pose in a way that we are pushed to act and change them rather than dwell on them. If attitudes toward reading are less than desirable, then the responsibility to create environments that make reading possible lies with us. The NBDB is hopeful and renews its commitment to better its programs and policies,” Executive Director Tugade added.

    The NBDB highlighted that, according to the survey findings, overall attitudes towards books and reading remained positive. The majority of respondents recognized the importance of books beyond educational and professional contexts. Key insights from the survey included the most popular non-school book (NSB) genres among adults (the Bible) and children (picture books), the preferred reading language (Filipino for both age groups), preferred formats (printed books for both age groups), and primary considerations when selecting NSBs (availability for both age groups).

    The NBDB enlisted the Social Weather Stations (SWS) to conduct the 2023 National Readership Survey from November 14th to 20th, 2023, with a sample size of 2,400 adults aged 18 and above, and 2,400 children aged 8-17. This survey is the most comprehensive examination of Filipinos’ reading habits and preferences and is expected to provide invaluable insights for the agency’s readership-focused initiatives.
