ABN AMRO, ING and Rabobank launch finance guidelines for circular economy

BYD – one of the world’s leading New Energy Vehicle (NEV) manufacturers – believes its global reputation as an ‘eMobility pioneer’ will help build a positive BYD brand profile in Norway following the recently-launched BYD Tang SUV.  The company points to its 26-years of experience in electric battery development and also its credentials as the only NEV manufacturer to offer a truly complete eMobility solution, including its own powertrain systems, rechargeable batteries, motor-control systems and, significantly, its own IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) power semiconductors.

Production as a Service (PaaS) provides an opportunity for companies to innovate production without large amounts of capital, allowing the company’s capital to instead be directed where the ROI has the most dramatic impact. In the cannabis industry, that can include an array of investments from product development, additional licenses, and store fronts.  Production as a Service (or PaaS) business structures have been growing in popularity over the past decade and were accelerated even further by the COVID-19 pandemic. PaaS strategies provide businesses, especially those in cannabis manufacturing who need pre-roll manufacturing and pre-roll filling, to have access to industry 4.0 automation and data exchange technologies that revolutionize productivity without major investment.
