Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd.

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), (“Foresight” or the “Company”), an innovator in automotive vision systems, announced today it has deepened its Chinese footprint with the establishment of Foresight Changzhou Automotive Ltd., (“Foresight Changzhou”), a wholly owned subsidiary, in Jiangsu Province, China.

With the support of CIP’s facilities and its dedicated staff, Foresight Changzhou will receive a package of incentives and grants from the Jiangsu Province’s government to aid in overcoming barriers and achieving success in China. The subsidiary will hire local engineers and high-quality staff, who will be based in CIP. “As our network of cooperation and connections in the Chinese market broadens, establishing a local presence is imperative. The Chinese automotive industry is rapidly growing and has become one of the world’s most prominent markets. We believe that having a local entity will facilitate our access to Chinese vehicle manufacturers and Tier One automotive suppliers and will potentially increase local collaborations and joint venture undertakings.

The Inaugural VinUniversity Global Case Competition Awards Prizes To Global Teams

Vingroup

HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach - 28 December 2021 - The "VinUniversity Global Case Competition 2021" (VGCC), organized by VinUniversity, has just concluded. Three teams from the United States, Finland, and Vietnam pushed ahead of over a thousand teams from 200 leading universities in 30 countries to score the top three prizes. The theme of the 2021 competition was "VinFast Goes Global". The case, written by Professor Michael Dixon of Utah State University and developed in consultation with faculty members from Cornell University and VinFast executives, described the complex and highly topical challenges facing VinFast as it enters the US market with its brand new Electric Vehicles. Teams were required to develop strategies, solutions and implementation plans for this expansion, taking into consideration several challenges facing the Electric Vehicle market in general, and VinFast in particular. Discussing the topic of the competition, Professor Edward McLaughlin - Professor Emeritus at Cornell University, and member of the competition's judging Panel - commented: "The teams had many creative and outstanding ideas. Unlike other competitions that use hypothetical or past cases, VGCC poses a realistic and current problem facing a business.". Over 4,000 students from over 200 universities from 30 countries formed 1,085 teams to participate in the competition. The competition had three stages and teams had to qualify to move to the next round of the competition. Only ten teams were selected in the Final Presentation round of the competition. In addition to submitting a detailed twenty- page plan for addressing the six challenges presented in the case, the teams also presented their key ideas before a panel of judges comprising of VinFast senior executives, and faculty from other top US based universities, and answered many tough questions from the judges. "We are delighted to establish this global case competition because it provides experiential learning opportunities for students and helps them develop critical thinking and problem solving skills, and brings people together to solve real world problems," said Professor Rohit Verma, the Provost of VinUniversity. True to the academic and student-centric mission of the VGCC, VinUniversity organized three informational webinars to help the students prepare for the competition attended by over 1,000 participants. Faculty from VinUniversity, Cornell University, the CEO of VinFast, and case writer provided valuable insights to students about how to make their case analyses compelling and their recommendations defensible. As Professor Dixon advised "This case is an opportunity for students to make persuasive arguments regarding the goodness of their solutions. We are not looking for one right answer. Instead, we are looking for how the students come with their answers, how well they describe it and how well they can defend it." To make the process of evaluation fair and objective, the judges developed comprehensive and multi-dimensional rubrics for each stage of the competition, designed to assess the depth of the research and analysis, the details of the proposed implementation plan and the quality of the team presentation in the final round. The First Prize went to EVA - made up of 4 members from 4 different universities: DePauw University (USA), Tampere University of Applied Science (Finland), Fulbright University (Vietnam), and Foreign Trade University Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam). EVA successfully convinced the judges with the team's strategy to position VinFast as the best option for the "Wait and See'' segment - customers who are careful with their finances and make purchasing decisions based on a car's features and ease of use. This was considered a disruptive approach because traditional EV-makers tend to focus on early adopters of the technology. The Second Prize went to VinFast WinFast - consisting of 4 students from VinUniversity, with their proposal to market the cars to the extended-Millennials (Gen Y) segment, with ages ranging from 25 to 56. The group's core proposal centered around Vivi Smart Companion, which supports users in their entire customer journey with their VinFast car, designed to build a life-long, personal connection with the company and their cars. The Third Prize went to 4 students from Juniata College (USA), Villanova University (USA) and British University Vietnam with their "Influencer Marketing" strategy. The total prize value for the 3 winning teams was approximately 400 million VND, equivalent to 17.000 USD, with the First Prize being worth over 200 million VND (equivalent to 10.000 USD). The contestants came from the world's top universities, such as Cambridge University (UK), Oxford Universities (UK), Duke University (USA), Cornell University (USA), National University of Singapore (Singapore), Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), Monash University (Australia), Yonsei University (South Korea), VinUniversity, etc., and the students collectively spent 14,000 hours researching and devising solutions. Mr. Craig Westbrook – Chief Service Officer from Vinfast US expressed his impression "What a competition, what fantastic contestants you were, truly inspiring, and it's exactly the kind of thing that I would say companies like VinFast are certainly looking for in our future talents."

We are thrilled to address the complexity of supply chain and let users access shipping functionality from within their existing applications.

Instant Grocery Startup VOLY raises one of the largest seed rounds in Australia at $18m

VOLY

Australia's first instant online grocery supermarket, VOLY, has raised AU$18M in one of the nation’s largest ever seed rounds led by Sequoia Capital India, with increased backing from Global Founders Capital (GFC) and Australian-based Artesian Capital. This funding round will enable VOLY to continue to scale, expand the team, rapidly increase operations across key urban centres and start the national rollout. Following its launch in July 2021, VOLY has been preparing to take on the rapid food delivery market by delivering groceries to customers at incredible speed. It aims to make ordering groceries as easy and engaging as browsing Instagram and get them to you faster than you could do a trip to the supermarket yourself. Employing its own riders, delivery centre and store staff, VOLY does away with the need for customers to spend time in physical retail environments by giving people the power to order and receive their groceries in minutes. With a delivery promise of 15 minutes or less; VOLY is set to disrupt the +$122bn local grocery industry. Mark Heath, Co-CEO and Co-founder of VOLY, said: “VOLY is here to completely change the way people shop for groceries by giving Australians back their most precious resource, time. Our model, from a fully employed delivery and dispatch team to the way we use electric bikes to deliver, is designed around the way people live. We firmly believe that our customers have a better experience when our riders and other staff are part of the company, working with us.” VOLY retails most key household products available at any major supermarket - from fresh produce to baby formula and cleaning products - everything you could possibly need, available online seven days a week from 8am-10pm. The winning recipe is instant and free delivery, together with the best quality fresh produce; all sold at retail prices. “We’re doing away with the need to do a weekly grocery shop by providing convenience alongside reliability in a market that offers some of the slowest delivery times in the world. By owning our own supply chain, VOLY delivers at blazing fast speed without compromising on price, quality or availability. We source directly from suppliers, store in our own micro-fulfilment centres and deliver using fully employed and mostly full-time staff. VOLY is the supermarket of the future that is built around our customers, not the other way around,” said Thibault Henry, Co-CEO and Co-Founder. The seed funding announcement sets a new record for a food delivery company in Australia with support from Sequoia Capital India, a renowned venture capital firm. The interest in VOLY follows a new wave of investment in Aussie startups seen as world-class tech companies with potential to scale globally. "Australia's grocery market, which sees $90B in annual spends, is a large and profitable space that continues to be dominated by offline retail. The Sequoia Capital India team was impressed by the strong consumer love for VOLY, their compelling value proposition, and an impressive team of repeat founders that has blitzscaled businesses in Australia before. With on-demand models traditionally scaling very successfully in the country, the decision to lead their seed round and help them scale their business across Australia was an easy one to make," said Abheek Anand, Managing Director, Sequoia India. VOLY was co-founded by Mark Heath and Thibault Henry, who are also co-CEOs of the company and have experience working with on-demand technology brands across the food supply and logistics industries. Mark Heath helped launch Uber in Australia after a career at Goldman Sachs and Thibault Henry built, scaled and sold Balto which was a B2B last-mile business with clients such as HelloFresh, Marley Spoon and YouFoodz. VOLY’s management team includes Chief Technology Officer, Anthony Rey, Head of Procurement Lyana Labrode and Head of Marketing, Josh Peacock. VOLY has been an early hit with customers flocking to the app, spiking a rise of new users and incredibly strong week-on-week growth in sales. While currently available in Sydney across 42 suburbs - VOLY has plans to rapidly expand its offering from January 2022 to reach millions more Australians around the country in the coming months and year ahead. The VOLY application is available on both iOS and Android and at https://www.getvoly.com/ Ends Additional media images can be found here. About VOLY VOLY is an online supermarket and delivery service committed to disrupting the Australian grocery market by offering instant grocery delivery to millions of Australians through its mobile app. Setting new standards in the delivery industry, VOLY employs its own people and riders across micro fulfillment centres around Australia, offering household items to its customers in less than 15 minutes of placing an order. The move to employ riders full-time together with a strategy of vertical integration sets VOLY apart from the ‘gig economy’ and enables it to offer speed and quality without compromising on price.

AutoGuardian to Pilot Cutting Edge Intelligent Mobility Solutions in Beaumont

AutoGuardian By SmartCone Technologies, Inc.

AutoGuardian By SmartCone (AutoGuardian), a leader in Intelligent Mobility solutions, is piloting cutting edge technology to create safer roads in Beaumont, Alberta. As part of the Safe x Connected Cities Accelerator powered by Highline Beta in partnership with Aviva Canada’s Take Back Our Roads initiative, AutoGuardian has installed sensors both on existing infrastructure and on the road side. The sensors detect pedestrians and cyclists and automatically trigger intelligent torches to light up, thereby alerting motorists of their presence. First, the technology will collect valuable data to understand movement in two locations: one on 50 th Avenue just east of the Beaumont Sport and Recreation Centre and the second on 60 th Avenue adjacent to 64 th Street. This anonymized data, which includes the number and average speed of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles will be to inform the city of usage on these streets. The second application of this innovative technology is to add intelligent torches to the nearby unsignalized crossings and the same sensors will automatically trigger these torches to light up when pedestrians cross. Beaumont is a community of choice for livability and economic innovation. In 2019, the city hosted an autonomous shuttle pilot project integrated with regular traffic – the first of its kind in Western Canada – and the community is currently finalizing details with private investors to install an ultra-high speed broadband network with the fastest internet infrastructure available commercially in the world. “This pilot is a fantastic example how Beaumont embraces bold, innovative approaches that improve safety and everyday living for people in our community,” said Mayor Bill Daneluik. “We’re proud to be one of the few communities selected for the project and it speaks to our growing reputation as a sandbox city where innovators, entrepreneurs and investors can bring ideas to life.” AutoGuardian CEO, Tenille Houston noted “It is imperative we find new ways to make our roads smarter and safer for all. Working with forward thinking cities like Beaumont, that embrace new technology is an invaluable opportunity for us to test out the art of the possible.” Hazel Tan, head of corporate responsibility at Aviva Canada said: “At Aviva, we’re committed to making roads safer for Canadians through our social impact platform, Take Back Our Roads, leveraging our knowledge, data, partnerships and funding to invest directly in road safety initiatives. Working with AutoGuardian on this pilot will help create real change to improve road safety in Canada and we look forward to seeing the results of the pilot.” "We believe in building new ventures that matter and what matters more than the safety of a community? A truly powerful proposition has emerged with the overlap of Aviva's corporate smarts, AutoGuardian's innovative application of emerging tech and Beaumont's amazing forward thinking about their community," said Hussam Ayyad, Chief Accelerator Officer at Highline Beta. About The City of Beaumont With a population of over 21,000, Beaumont is one of fastest growing communities in Canada and the safest community in Alberta. Beaumont borders the City of Edmonton to the north and is only nine kilometres east of the Edmonton International Airport. About AutoGuardian By SmartCone AutoGuardian provides intelligent mobility solutions to get people to their destination in a safer, smarter, and more eco-friendly way. From autonomous transit operations to operating connected and intelligent infrastructure for bike lanes and crosswalks in both public and private locations, we aim to increase mobility for all.
