For your perusal though here is Morocco presented as more sovereign than this poor and unrealistic Map of Africa, this is a Colonial Time and Divisive showing of Morocco, Africans should strive to be in an independent mindset and not retrieve and be the copy of the colonial past.

Africans can make a difference in their daily life by seeking the Unity and Progress of their peers and identifications and not pulling behind their backs references, symbols, and idols of dominant ideological past colonial times and dark age of exploitation through the division of tribes, regions, and even spiritual beliefs.

We need people who consider the Motherland of Africa as the cradle of our Renaissance and our Growth in self-respect, self-esteem, and self-gratification through sharing common beliefs in owning our proper Memories and our awareness and not being taught about divisive propaganda and manipulative thoughts.

We need to build our educational environment based on our deep and authentic history without praise or self-gratifying drives

We need to be authentic with our Past, Present, and Vision for shedding light on the Generations to come to be the new enthusiasm of the bright African minds and African Creators of their Own Freedom and Independence.

Afrique Destinée: La Zambie, Mauvais Pari Financier Oriental et Bonne Mine pour l’Occident [apres ce texte en Anglais]

Présentation:

Dans cet article, nous soulignerons les raisons du revers subi par la restructuration et le rééchelonnement de la dette extérieure de la Zambie et comment, même avec la tournure des événements et des alliances, d’autres projets tels que le projet de corridor de Liboto peuvent devenir une arme à double tranchant avec 2 côtés tranchants. et même se transformer en épée de Damoclès posée au sommet de la tête de Zambie.

L’École africaine de développement et de financement devrait utiliser le cas de la Zambie pour enseigner à nos dirigeants et à nos dirigeants comment éviter d’être attirés, attirés et finalement punis par ceux qui, depuis le début, ont cherché et voulu contrôler et faire obéir l’économie zambienne à leurs principes et concepts. de développement néolibéral importés de l’extérieur alors qu’ils finiront par exporter vers eux et à leur profit tous les atouts miniers internes et les valeurs locales.

La Zambie est une étude typique et un manuel ouvert sur la manière de tomber dans le filet de la modernisation et en même temps d’éviter de tomber dans le piège de la dette extérieure, encadrée et camouflée dans une stratégie néolibérale de mise à niveau des infrastructures à travers l’adoption des outils de financement de et fourni par les politiques de développement contrôlées par l’État occidental et leur armée de dirigeants d’entreprises qui ont transformé la Zambie en une monnaie d’échange dans la compétition internationale entre l’Ouest et l’Est.

La position de la Zambie dans le système financier international et sur le marché international des matières premières est typique de nombreux pays africains où la dette extérieure est un piège dans lequel ils tombent sans savoir où se trouve le fond et quel effet boule de neige pourrait plus tard faire en sorte que cette dette ne produise aucun rendement ou ajout. valeur pour les caisses de l’État. Un tel manque de revenus et une telle concrétisation des projets dans les délais et dans un bon rapport coût-efficacité ont rendu la situation financière de nombreux pays africains vulnérable à toutes sortes de manipulations et à l’acceptation d’un contrôle et de conditionnalités supplémentaires de la part des créanciers internationaux et de leurs liens dans d’autres secteurs économiques et commerciaux. et les entreprises.

Cet article met en lumière les efforts déployés par la Zambie pour échapper au piège de la dette qui est devenu un « Typhon », étouffant lentement tout mouvement du pays vers l’acquisition d’une infrastructure qui aidera l’économie à sortir de ses conditions d’existence enclavées et de la caractéristique d’enclave de l’économie. est encore visible. Depuis l’établissement de la domination coloniale, l’économie zambienne est largement centrée sur l’extraction de minéraux, en particulier de cuivre, de cobalt et de sous-produits associés. Les organisations financières internationales telles que la Banque Mondiale, le FMI, la Société Financière Internationale et la Banque Centrale Européenne encouragent le développement du secteur privé et l’attraction des investissements directs étrangers notamment en construisant des infrastructures logistiques adéquates et modernes qui ouvrent des horizons à travers d’autres pays pour atteindre des espaces plus éloignés et répondre à des demandes lointaines pour les biens produits localement.

Malheureusement, cela ressemble à une éruption effervescente trop optimiste et à une distribution de chiffres élevés comme taux de croissance pour les économies africaines qui ont été orchestrées par la Banque mondiale, le FMI, la SFI et la Banque centrale européenne et leurs filiales et courtisanes telles que Think Tank. , Centres de Recherche, sociétés d’investissement et financiers qui ont dressé en 2010 un tableau très rose de l’Afrique.

Leur fausse interprétation du développement idyllique de l’Afrique a directement contribué aux difficultés et aux distorsions univoques de la santé et des conditions économiques des pays africains. Ces intrigues sophistiquées ont abouti à l’endettement élevé de nombreux pays africains qui sont en fait au point de faire défaut ou de recevoir des fonds supplémentaires pour remédier à leur plongée dans de nouveaux problèmes financiers, déséquilibres économiques et troubles sociaux. De nombreux coups d’État en Afrique sont le résultat d’une telle combinaison de facteurs financiers et de spoliation économique provenant tous d’un impact extérieur.

En effet, une étude de la Banque mondiale publiée en novembre 2010 suggère que la moitié des 5 pour cent de croissance dont l’Afrique a bénéficié entre 2003 et 2008 était due à l’amélioration des infrastructures, principalement des télécommunications. Dans le même temps, le Fonds monétaire international estime que la croissance en Afrique subsaharienne sera supérieure d’un point de pourcentage à la moyenne mondiale et place huit pays africains parmi les 20 économies les plus dynamiques en 2010. L’Angola et la République du Congo, riches en pétrole, sont en tête avec des taux de croissance de plus de 9 et 12 pour cent respectivement, tous deux battant la Chine, selon les projections les plus récentes du FMI [ Source : Rapport spécial Davos : L’Afrique en hausse ].

Ces financiers de niveau mondial lançaient à gauche et à droite des chiffres trop optimistes sur le taux de croissance de ces pays qui les avaient présentés comme le nouvel eldorado du flux et du recyclage des dollars en prêts sans même considérer l’existence du paiement du service. Les pays africains endettés sont devenus faciles à pénétrer par des intérêts étrangers et des biens étrangers. Dans le même temps, les pays africains, au lieu d’investir dans leurs exportations, ont également été obligés de diversifier leur externalisation des capitaux et d’en utiliser une partie pour payer le service de la dette et financer leur propre sécurité et solvabilité.

Aujourd’hui, nous assistons à la même approche et au même discours consistant à lancer des prévisions sans même regarder les schémas historiques de changements ou les variations saisonnières du taux de croissance, du taux d’inflation et du taux de conversion des monnaies pour les économies africaines et ceci simplement pour faire référence aux facteurs et indicateurs les plus ambivalents.

Plagiarism, copyright, and other forms of industrial, research, and intellectual property are the next challenges.

Trademarks and intellectual property need to be redefined and refocused.

The notion of knowledge and job qualifications has also to be reinterrogated and reevaluated within every sector and every production.

The robotic side will have to be adapted to all these forms of definitions, including design, research, and development.

Competition,cookie-cutting, copycatting, and imitation will have to be reformulated as well as the reverse engineering procedures and processes.

Law schools will have to form new Artificially Intelligent competent Lawyers and Prosecutors as well as Judges.

One of these regulations is the consumption of electricity and the impact on the environment resulting from the multiplication of Data Centers.

“While some of the most advanced, “hyperscale” data centers, like those maintained by Google, Facebook, and Amazon, have pledged to transition their sites to carbon-neutral via carbon offsetting and investment in renewable energy infrastructures like wind and solar, many of the smaller-scale data centers that I observed lack the resources and capital to pursue similar sustainability initiatives. Smaller-scale, traditional data centers have often been set up within older buildings that are not optimized for ever-changing power, cooling, and data storage capacity needs. Since the emergence of hyperscale facilities, many companies, universities, and others who operate their own small-scale data centers have begun to transfer their data to hyperscalers or cloud colocation facilities, citing energy cost reductions.

---

The Cloud now has a greater carbon footprint than the airline industry. A single data center can consume the equivalent electricity of 50,000 homes.

---

According to a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory report, if the entire Cloud shifted to hyperscale facilities, energy usage might drop as much as 25 percent. Without any regulatory body or agency to incentivize or enforce such a shift in our infrastructural configuration, there are other solutions that have been proposed to curb the Cloud’s carbon problem. Some have proposed relocating data centers to Nordic countries like Iceland or Sweden, in a bid to utilize ambient, cool air to minimize carbon footprint, a technique called “free cooling.” However, network signal latency issues make this dream of a haven for green data centers largely untenable to meet the computing and data storage demands of the wider world.” Source: The staggering ecological impacts of computation and the cloud

Oracle and Amazon Coming to Morocco and Africa: New Silicon Muslimetropolis in Morocco

These imbrications of the Data Centers as participants in the deficiencies of climate change have forced many providers to seek other skies and localisations in more welcoming regions in the United States and countries around the world such as Amazon and Oracle signing and moving new Data Centers to Morocco.

Concurrently at the GITEX AFRICA, to formalize a partnership and commitment to innovation in Morocco a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Ms. Ghita Mezzour, PhD, Ministère de la Transition Numérique et de la Réforme de l’Administration, Mohcine Jazouli, MICEPP – Ministry of Investment, Convergence and Evaluation of Public Policies, and Mr. Ali Seddiki, Director General of the Moroccan Investment and Export Development Agency – AMDIE, and Oracle Systems Limited.

Oracle intends to increase its Moroccan Research & Development workforce to 1,000 information technology specialists. Oracle‘s expansion follows the inauguration of its Moroccan Development Center at Casanearshore / Technopolis Parks in Casablanca, where researchers leverage cloud, AI, and machine learning technologies to address the most pressing challenges in the fields of business, science, and the public sector.

Casanearshore / Technopolis Parks in Casablanca

“Oracle’s R&D center in Casablanca has already played a critical role in driving technical advances, improving cybersecurity, and developing new AI capabilities, [” “] By strengthening our R&D presence in Morocco, we will be able to leverage its vast talent pool to accelerate the development of solutions that will help our clients around the world grow their businesses and achieve success in their sectors,» said Safra Ada Catz, the CEO of Oracle Corporation.

Ms. Ghita Mezzour, PhD. added: “This ambitious project is aligned with the Royal Strategic Vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, which encourages the innovation and creativity of young Moroccans.”

It is estimated that 40% of new positions will be located outside the Greater Casablanca and Rabat-Salé-Kenitra regions, by opening new offices in Agadir this year, and in northern Morocco within the next two years.

In this center of excellence, young Moroccans will be at the forefront of the design and development of innovative solutions using the latest technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud, and cybersecurity. These solutions will be deployed on a global scale, thus strengthening Morocco’s positioning as a digital hub for the entire region.

In the same horizon, sky, and cloud line, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is getting into the fold of the Moroccan and North Sahara Africa to offer cloud computing in Morocco and Senegal using its AWS Wavelength platform in partnership with Orange, which was announced on Wednesday 29, May 2024.

One of the first of its kind the services will be provided without having physical AWS infrastructure such as data centers. Natural collaboration obliges, Orange will use and branch its physical data centers to shelter the AWS services. This AWS-Orange partnership, beyond language differences and origins, is responding to the rise of demand and needs for speeder and secured computing operations from banks, telecom firms, and healthcare firms.

There is a sense of a Gold Rush in Africa attracting cloud operators to service the rising cloud market that is expected to grow by 15% yearly to reach $18 billion in 2028, according to Statista.

MICEPP – Ministry of Investment, Convergence and Evaluation of Public Policies •

Today, Minister Mohcine Jazouli attended the opening of GITEX AFRICA, chaired by the Head of Government, marking a significant milestone for Morocco’s digital future.

On the sidelines of GITEX, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the MICEPP – Ministry of Investment, Convergence and Evaluation of Public Policies, the Ministère de la Transition Numérique et de la Réforme de l’Administration, the Moroccan Investment and Export Development Agency – AMDIE, and Oracle Systems Limited.

This agreement aims to establish two public cloud regions in Morocco.

The investment of $140 million over five years, will enable Oracle to establish a comprehensive suite of cloud services, with deployments in two data centers. This project will provide local and regional businesses with access to next-generation cloud services, enhancing their efficiency and competitiveness.

Oracle Advent stimulates Interest and Strategic Partnership between Orange and Amazon

Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon subsidiary that provides “cloud computing on demand” platforms and applications to individuals, businesses, and governments, plans to offer “cloud computing” to Morocco and Senegal using its AWS Wavelength platform in collaboration with the company French Orange. This is what we read in a joint statement from the two companies, according to which this will be the first time that the services will be available in a country without physical AWS infrastructure such as data centers.

MOROCCAN TECH REACTION TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DATA CENTERS IN MOROCCO

---

Artificial Intelligence comes with a hefty price tag – not just because of how expensive it is to actually train and run AI models, but also due to its considerable environmental impact.

Last week, Google revealed that its greenhouse gas emissions have jumped nearly 50% over the past five years — because the data centers it uses to power AI and other applications are using more power than ever before.

Emissions are just one part of the equation in AI’s soaring environmental costs. The technology is also known to have a voracious appetite for both energy and water. AI’s rapid growth could cause U.S. electricity consumption to “outstrip current supply in the next two years,” Bernstein analysts recently said. Meanwhile, a recent Goldman Sachs report found that the demand for power driven by AI applications is poised to increase 160% by 2030 – and also estimated that using ChatGPT for an answer sucks up to 10 times as much electricity as a basic Google search.

“That kind of spike in power demand hasn’t been seen in the U.S. since the early years of this century,” the Goldman analysts said in the report.

With AI only growing in scale and scope, and thereby getting more resource-intensive, tech companies, investors and startups are trying to balance its promises with its environmental footprint, investing in areas like renewable energy sources and energy-efficient processing.

“It’s a really important problem, given that models are only going to get bigger and how energy intensive they are,” New Enterprise Associates (NEA) partner Aaron Jacobson said in a recent edition of VC Wednesdays. “We owe it to the world to figure out how to run these as efficiently as possible.”

More clean and efficient data centers

One way stakeholders are trying to limit carbon emissions related to training and using AI is by using or designing data centers powered by cleaner energy sources like hydropower, wind, and even nuclear power — versus coal.

OpenAI founder and CEO Sam Altman and VC firm Andreessen Horowitz seem to be part of this camp, with their backing of the startup Exowatt, which aims to meet such clean-energy needs by combining solar thermal tech with a thermal battery system in modules that can be stored and deployed near data centers.

Other tech companies are similarly trying to make their AI infrastructure more efficient by investing heavily in clean energy sources for their data centers.

Columbus’ data center boom may be running out of juice.

Why it matters: Ample, affordable electricity is part of what made the area so attractive to data centers and tech manufacturers in the first place, helping land mega-projects from Intel, Amazon, Facebook and Google.

• But a 146% expansion of local data center inventory from 2012-2021 has gobbled up much of our excess grid capacity, per a new report by researchers at JLL, a commercial real estate firm that caters to the tech industry.
• Threat level: The company is warning data center developers that the area’s grid capacity will be “constrained” over the next two to three years.

The big picture: Data centers are driving a surge in demand for electricity across the country.

• The increase is fueled in part by the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, which relies on especially power-hungry computing infrastructuret.
• Utilities have doubled their estimates of how much additional electricity they’ll need in the near term, which notes the trend threatens U.S. climate change goals.

Zoom in: AEP Ohio warned PJM, the organization that operates the electric grid in the region, that it’s anticipating heavy new demands for electricity between new data centers and Intel’s new $20 billion semiconductor plant.

Friction point: To meet that demand, the utility wants to build new transmission lines to New Albany for new Intel, Meta, Google, and Amazon facilities.

• That’s drawn pushback from some residents, who complained the project will hurt their property values, per WCMH-TV.

What they’re saying: “The energy demand from these large users can be 100 times that of a typical industrial customer,” AEP Ohio spokesman Scott Blake told Axios. Source: Mar 25, 2024 –News

Earlier this year, LinkedIn parent Microsoft signed its biggest-ever corporate power purchase agreement to run its data centers on carbon-free power. Recently, Google made a major investment in BlackRock-backed Taiwanese renewable energy player New Green Power 永鑫能源 to power its data centers.

Just this week, Amazon said that it had reached a crucial climate goal by using electricity in its operations from sources that didn’t produce greenhouse gas emissions. The company claimed that it essentially offset its electricity use via its more than 500 solar and wind projects, but some critics argued that since those projects don’t directly power Amazon’s operations, the company may be offering “a misleading impression of its effect on the climate.”

“Advances in AI have depended on exponential growth in training data and thus computing power; as these power requirements grow in the era of deep learning, AI is spurring a boom in clean electricity,” said Izzy Woolgar, director of external affairs at the non-profit energy research institute Centre for Net Zero (Octopus Energy Group). “The race to invest in vast new data centers — and the green energy to power them — is on.”

There’s been a real frenzy around #AI over the past few months. But I thought calling it an “AI arms race” was tad alarmist. Until now.

Google has invested $300 million into Anthropic — on the heels of Microsoft’s (LinkedIn’s parent) recent $10 billion investment into ChatGPT-creator OpenAI — it’s clear that the race for the future of AI has ramped up.

Times are really interesting to watch out in generative AI space. According to news reporting from the Financial Times, Google has invested $300 million in one of the most buzzy OpenAI rivals, Anthropic, whose recently-debuted generative AI model, Claude, is considered competitive with ChatGPT #google #ai. Results of Claude model are comparatively better than chatgpt.

Anthropic‘s Claude does a decent job of translating Bengali text into English. ChatGPT failed this particular task. So did Google translate.

My dad Rehman Mehbubor has been writing op-ed articles in Bangladeshi newspapers recently. He sent me one of his articles today. Having grown up in the United States, I did not learn to read and write in Bangla, unfortunately. (Though I do speak it).

First I tried Google translate to help me read his article. It kept failing, stating that I exceeded the character limit. I kept reducing the text down and finally got it to work but felt that it was too cumbersome to do over and over again. Next I tried ChatGPT. I kept getting an error message. Finally, I tried Claude. And it worked! I’m glad I found a way to appreciate my dad’s work.

ChatGPT just turned 2 months old.
Isn’t it crazy to think that back in early November, we still searched for information on Google and wrote our own copy like a bunch of jackasses?
We were rosy cheeked cherubs when it came to AI back then.
Its fast growth lit a fire under every company in the AI space. And now they’re coming in hot.
In a few more months, the landscape will look very different.
What are a few AI contenders we should look out for?
A VentureBeat article from today shed some light on it.

1️⃣ 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜’𝐬 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞
Created by former OpenAI researchers, it got $580 million in funding, and is about to raise $300 million more. A weird footnote to that is Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX bankrolled most of the first round, which isn’t a great association to have.
Still, the company is seemingly good. It’s in closed beta now, but said to potentially be an improvement on ChatGPT and is designed to not be evil at its core.

2️⃣ 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝’𝐬 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰
This one is Google’s answer to OpenAI that takes a safer approach. It’s going slow because it wants to be able to cite sources and reduce risk.
It’s going to be in private beta sometime this year, and I’m here for it. Trusting data generated by AI is hard, and if it can make the data more trustworthy, that’s going to be massive.

3️⃣ 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞’𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐌𝐃𝐀
Google isn’t taking this lying down and they have another LLM competitor built on top of Google’s open-source Transformer architecture just like ChatGPT.
One of the researchers working on it got into trouble last year because he said it was sentient. So yeah, there’s that.
It should be the closest experience to ChatGPT of the bunch. It’ll be cool to compare the 2 tech behemoths once it’s out.

4️⃣ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐈
Just like Anthropic was sort-of a descendant of OpenAI, Character AI is LaMDA’s. A couple of the original engineers that created Transformer and then LaMDA set out on their own.
Its technology lets users chat with AI-driven impersonations of historical figures like Queen Elizabeth or Shakespeare as well as fictional characters.
While that’s a 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 specific use case, the technology is 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘥. I had an adventure with Mario to test it out and it was like playing an old-school text adventure game.
These are just the tip of the iceberg of what’s coming.
Are you excited for what’s next?

How do you see these tools working together? Or who will win?

Business Consulting in the Age of AI Transformation

Business consultants are changing as well with artificial intelligence, which is allowing new fast, accurate insights into data to find previously opaque openings. Historically, consulting leaned on manual processes which meant hand-crafting perspectives of experience and data to influence improvement. AI changes all that; where the consulting process earlier hovered around some data dump, inefficient, and leaky manual task automation with partial analytics capability—now a lot of it is in real-time. The role that global business consulting has in this new AI age and its process.

1. Improved Data Analysis and Insights: AI tools can process large datasets, allowing concealed patterns and trends (known as hidden data) to be uncovered in a matter of seconds. This enables consultants to delve deep into the market, analyzing competitors and customer behavior. AI-driven analytics can identify where should focus its next foray into foreign direct investment (FDI), or unlock insight into new supply chain management trends.

2. Make Smarter Decisions with Predictive Analytics: AI For Consulting: Predictive Analytics The company leverages its algorithm to predict market trends, and consumer preferences as well as potential risks. Using this to advise clients on where they should invest their resources, how they can best enter new markets, or which strategic alliances might have the most impact.

3. AI Strategy Building: With the help of AI, consultants can develop more precise and customized strategies as they gain real-time insights into business processes; market dynamics; and industry performance. This scrutinizes the needs and helps firms to take a step further by using custom-fit solutions which boost growth on one hand as well as make better usage of resources at the other.

4. Automation of Routine Tasks: Artificial Intelligence is a tool for performing tasks done by humans; it leaves repetitive, laborious, and monotonous toil like data collection reporting basic analysis in the capable hands of RPA bots leaving consultants free to do what they are good at strategizing client engagement. It speeds up the process, saves time in research, and makes consulting more agile and responsive.

How AI Helps in Global Business Consulting

Greater Efficiency: AI accelerates the consulting process by automating repetitive tasks and providing immediate insights which allows benchmarks to be derived quicker, verdicts faster and strategies implemented more promptly.

Increased Accuracy: Artificial intelligence decreases the risk of human error in data analysis and provides an accurate, interpretation reliable conclusion targeted towards making smarter recommendations for consultants.

Customized Solutions: Artificial intelligence helps consultants comprehend the specific requirements of each client and as a result, they can provide solutions according to that which further assures more personalized growth strategies.

Scalability: also pointed out that with AI, consulting firms such as yours can scale their offers better — in other words, to be able to deliver larger projects and multiple different requirements at the same time.

BRICS+ CROSSING THE BORDERS OF INTERNATIONAL CAPITALISM

---

Jim O’Neill, the Chief Economist at Goldman Sachs, created the acronym BRICS in 2001. O’Neill’s research paper, Building Better Global Economic BRICs, proposed that the economic potential of Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC) could make them among the world’s most dominant economies by 2050. O’Neill argued that the growth of these countries could challenge the dominance of the G7, the world’s seven most advanced economies. 

---

---

Breaking the Borders of Globalization, Multinationalisation, and Internationalization and Setting New Forms of Supra-Integration

The BRICS group of emerging-market powers — the acronym stands for #Brazil, #Russia, #India, #China, and #SouthAfrica — has gone from a slogan dreamed up at an #investmentbank and the Brics two decades ago.

---

---

On June 2024,  With the BRICS firmly committed to de-dollarization, Morgan Stanley recently said that the US dollar cannot be dethroned.

The BRICS club of nations dominated by China almost doubled in size this year 2024, making it a more credible counterweight to the G7. The BRICS is pairing several major #energy producers with some of the biggest consumers among developing countries and potentially enhancing the group’s economic clout in a US-dominated #world. Dozens more countries have expressed interest in joining its ranks.

---

Who are the New Members of BRICS?

---

---

The rise of BRICS (and now BRICS+) reflects a shared belief among important emerging players that the Western-dominated, rules-based international order—and particularly the system of global economic governance—is both stacked against their interests and fundamentally outdated. The #BRICS group expanded in early 2024 to include #Iran, the #UnitedArabEmirates, #Ethiopia, and #Egypt. #SaudiArabia was also announced as a new member, though the kingdom has yet to make a final decision on whether to join. Argentinian President Javier Milei, who took office in December 2023 and is steering his country’s geopolitical alignment toward the #US and away from China and Brazil, declined a membership invitation.

The nations still seeking admission include #Malaysia, #Thailand, and #Turkey. Further enlargement is likely to be discussed at a summit in Kazan, Russia, on Oct. 22-24.

The 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan is being held under the chairmanship of Russia from October 22-24. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said, “The Summit, themed ‘Strengthening Multilateralism for Just Global Development and Security,’ will provide an important platform for leaders to discuss key global issues.”

What is the impetus for the expansion of the BRICS?

Russian President Vladimir Putin will host the first-ever summit of BRICS+ from October 22 to 24 in the Tatarstan city of Kazan. There, the founding members of BRICS—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—will formally welcome into their fold five new members: Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Putin has also invited more than two dozen other countries that have applied for or are considering membership in the expanding club. The gathering is meant to send an unmistakable signal: Despite the West’s best efforts to isolate it, Russia has many friends around the world.

To some in the West, the emergence of BRICS+ suggests something even more ominous—a world that is fragmenting into competing blocs, thanks to intensifying geopolitical rivalry between East and West and growing mutual alienation between North and South. According to this reading, Beijing and Moscow are intent on exploiting some countries’ resentment of the United States and its wealthy world allies to consolidate an anti-Western counterweight to the venerable Group of 7 (G7), a process that is likely to paralyze global cooperation within other multilateral venues. Of particular concern is the future of the Group of 20 (G20). Even before BRICS expansion, it had become a microcosm of growing global rifts. A further hardening of these divisions would undercut the G20’s fundamental raison d’être: namely, to help bridge gulfs between—and leverage the capabilities of—important countries that are not inherently or necessarily like-minded.

With the rise of economies like China and India, many countries see BRICS as a platform to counterbalance the influence of traditional Western powers.  Recent global conflicts and increased US-China rivalry might push countries towards BRICS as a way to navigate complex geopolitical dynamics.

The push has been driven largely by China, now the world’s pre-eminent industrial power, which is trying to boost its global clout by courting nations traditionally allied with the US. South Africa and Russia have backed the expansion. India was initially hesitant because it was concerned that a bigger BRICS would transform the group into a mouthpiece for China, while Brazil was worried about alienating the West — although both governments eventually agreed to an enlargement.

Why Regional Trade Agreements in Africa Need Integration of Logistics to Form a Centralized Cluster Hub?

---

---

Said El Mansour Cherkaoui Ph.D. – Said Cherkaoui Ph.D. 9 23 24

---

First of all, Africa needs to be and act like one Single Nation with diverse nationalities and have ONE SUPER FREEWAY FOR EACH INCLUSIVE AND INTEGRATED REGION THAT COME FROM NOTRH TO THE CENTER, FROM THE EAST TO THE CENTER, FROM THE WEST TO THE CENTER AND FROM THE SOUTH TO THE CENTER.

The point of meeting for this super freeway will be the logistic capital, the logistic center, and the central cluster for the connection and interconnection of all the actions and transactions driven toward supply and exchange among the African regions, and the African Economies. A Great Hub of Logistics from where all the transport and distribution will take place. 

Once we have this central focused organizational and infrastructural networks and web of centralized communication Hubs with all the most advanced means of intercommunication and consolidation of the trade relations and the related intelligent managerial operations, at this moment we can talk about environment and other related aspects. 

Our present environment is depleted and has no foundations of potential advancement for the integration of Africa and this lack of structure encompasses all the necessary interconnected needs and necessities to have integrated marketplaces.

Insightful Analysis by TRI CK USA

Insightful Analysis by TRI CK USA Global Risk Analysis Achieving Reciprocity: Role of Rationality

When discussing “Artificial Intelligence, Pain for Pen Writing,” it refers to the potential negative impact that advanced AI writing tools could have on the practice of traditional pen-and-paper writing, particularly in educational settings, where the physical act of writing by hand is considered important for learning and cognitive development.

Key concerns about AI replacing pen writing:

• Reduced fine motor skills: Repeatedly typing on a keyboard instead of physically forming letters with a pen can lead to a decline in hand-eye coordination and dexterity, especially in young children.
• Diminished cognitive processing: Research suggests that the act of writing by hand can enhance memory and information retention compared to typing, as the brain is more actively engaged in the process.
• Less engagement with text: Typing can feel more passive than writing with a pen, potentially leading to less thoughtful engagement with the material.
• Potential for overreliance on AI: If students become too reliant on AI writing tools to generate text, they might neglect to develop their writing skills, including grammar, vocabulary, and critical thinking.

However, AI can also have positive impacts on pen writing:

• Accessibility tools: AI-powered pens can provide real-time feedback on handwriting, helping individuals with dysgraphia or learning disabilities improve their writing skills.
• Personalized learning: AI can analyze writing patterns and provide tailored practice exercises to address individual weaknesses.
• Creative writing support: AI can assist with brainstorming ideas and generating creative writing prompts, potentially stimulating more engagement with pen-and-paper writing.

Nigeria is blessed with abundant natural resources, especially crude oil. It is at times the largest oil producer in Africa and one of the top ten in the world. However, the country’s refining capacity has consistently been inadequate to meet the demands of its population and growing economy.

Nigeria’s refining infrastructure is plagued by inefficiency, underinvestment, and corruption. The country has four state-owned refineries that have become dysfunctional due to poor maintenance, outdated technology, and operational inefficiencies.

This deficit requires importing many of its fuel needs, leading to a complex and often controversial reliance on foreign fuel sources.

The government often subsidizes fuel to make it affordable, creating a huge financial burden on the state. While these subsidies are intended to alleviate economic hardship, they have also led to corruption and mismanagement.

Efforts have been made to address these challenges. The government has worked on various reforms, including partially removing the subsidy to improve the efficiency of the oil and gas sector, attract private investment, and increase local refining capacity.

The most notable development is the $20 billion Dangote Refinery, owned by Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, with a refining capacity of 650,000 barrels per day. However, as the refinery is not yet operating at full capacity, Nigeria still imports fuel.

Beyond the fight, if things go as planned, Nigeria will stop importing fuel by August, as Dangote said. In 2023, Nigeria’s largest gasoline imports came from Togo, totaling $109.3 million, followed by Tunisia with $104.35 million, according to data from Trade Map, a global database on international trade statistics.

“THE FIELD OF PETROL DREAM IN NIGERIA” – BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME AS TROUBLE-MAKERS

Dangote recently revealed that some employees of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited and oil traders, which own a blending plant off Malta, and international oil companies refusing to supply crude to its refineries, are among its challenges.

Alhaj Aliko Dangote GCON, the Founder /Chairman of Dangote Industries Limited speaks on the challenges of building his refinery in Lagos with the CNN anchor and correspondent, Eleni Giokos.

Growing Support from Business Leaders for Alhaji_Aliko_DANGOTE

Several prominent Nigerians, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, and business mogul Femi Otedola, have voiced their support for Dangote. Otedola praised Dangote as a visionary who has made significant investments in Nigeria.

He highlighted Dangote’s achievements, including building the largest single-train refinery in the world, the second-largest sugar refinery, and the largest cement factory, among other substantial industrial projects.

“My brother, the Visionary, has built the largest single train refinery in the world, not in Kano, but in Lagos State. He is the owner of the second-largest sugar refinery in the world, also in Lagos State, and the largest cement factory in the world, not in Kano, but in Kogi State,” Otedola said.

“Additionally, he has established one of the second-largest fertilizer plants in the world, soon to surpass the biggest one in Qatar, also in Lagos State. Furthermore, he has built a fertilizer plant in Lagos that already exports globally. Aliko Dangote is a titan that God created especially for mankind,” he continued.

Among other things, Otedola noted Dangote’s role as the largest private sector employer in Nigeria and a significant taxpayer. He also noted that Dangote Group’s contributions extend beyond industrial facilities to critical infrastructure projects, such as major roads in Lagos and Kogi states.

“His contributions extend beyond industrial facilities to critical infrastructure, having built major roads such as the Apapa Oshodi-Owonrosoki Express Road, Wharf Road, and the Obajana-Kabba Road,” he recounted.

Otedola advised the federal government to emulate other countries by supporting local industries like the Dangote Group for the country to thrive.

Buying and selling oil by Nigeria and the related process and processing with the advising and confirming accounts along the transfer and the convertibility as well as the deposit notes with their approval of the office of the currencies change with also the variations in the rate of change between the foreign currencies involved including the consolidation terms and conditions. The process of buying and selling oil in Nigeria involves several intricate steps and financial mechanisms. Here’s a breakdown of the key elements:

Buying and Selling Oil in Nigeria

Transaction Procedures:

• The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) oversees the sale of crude oil. Buyers typically engage directly with NNPC or its approved resellers ¹.
• The process involves submitting bids for crude oil sale and purchase term contracts. Successful bidders are awarded contracts to lift and market Nigeria’s crude oil ².

Advising and Confirming Accounts:

• Letters of Credit (L/C): These are commonly used in oil transactions to ensure payment. An issuing bank provides a letter of credit to the seller, guaranteeing payment upon presentation of specified documents ³.
• Advising Bank: The issuing bank sends the L/C to an advising bank in the seller’s country, which verifies its authenticity and forwards it to the seller ⁴.
• Confirming Bank: Sometimes, a confirming bank adds its guarantee to the L/C, ensuring payment even if the issuing bank defaults ³.

Currency Convertibility:

• Oil transactions are typically conducted in U.S. dollars due to the petrodollar system ⁵. This system simplifies international trade by using a widely accepted currency.
• Currency convertibility refers to how easily a country’s currency can be exchanged for another. High convertibility is crucial for smooth international transactions ⁶.

Deposit Notes and Approval:

• Deposit Notes: These are financial instruments used to secure payment. They are often issued by banks and must be approved by relevant financial authorities ⁷.
• Office of Currency Exchange: This office oversees the approval of deposit notes and ensures compliance with currency exchange regulations ⁷.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates:

• Exchange rates can significantly impact the cost and profitability of oil transactions. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies involved in the transaction must be carefully managed ⁸.
• Hedging strategies are often employed to mitigate the risks associated with exchange rate volatility ⁸.

Dangote African Carnegie and Rockefeller in Modern Time and Present Dimensions

America’s emergence as an industrial power in the late 19th century relied largely on two substances: oil and iron. And two people played an important role in providing this material.

Andrew Carnegie was born in Scotland in 1835 and his family moved to Pennsylvania when young Andrew was thirteen. John D. Rockefeller was born four years later in upstate New York, the son of a merchant who moved him to Cleveland when he was six.

Carnegie’s early work virtually traced the technological emergence of 19th-century America. He was a bobbin boy in a textile factory, a telegraph operator, and an engine supplier. He later worked on the railroads and oil wells. But at the age of 38, he established Keystone Iron Works, and he remained there until 1901. By that time, Keystone Iron had become American. Steel and Andrew Carnegie had become one of the richest men on the planet.

John D. Rockefeller went into business at the age of 20 and discovered his first oil well as a side hustle. He quickly understood that it was the right horse to ride. Even before automobiles and airplanes claimed a large share of oil, it had begun to replace coal in the electrical industries.

Carnegie and Rockefeller – both incredibly wealthy in the 20th century – came to give by two different paths: Even before reaching its peak, Carnegie wrote that a rich man’s life should take place in two stages: d First acquire wealth, then use that wealth to improve general well-being. And that’s what he did. He established the Carnegie Institute, the Tuskegee Institute, and many other schools. He became the patron saint of libraries. He created charitable foundations.

Rockefeller, on the other hand, began to relent when antitrust forces closed in on his Standard Oil Company. He also created charitable societies of all kinds to distribute excess money. He began by creating the University of Chicago. Whatever his motivations, Rockefeller gave birth to a dynasty of charitable giving that extends to the present day.

Andrew Carnegie is the best hero. After all, he was an integral part of the emerging technologies that shaped our country. And his gift flowed from a deeply held principle. Yet the Rockefeller clan took responsibility for public service. They became political leaders and professional donors: one of them died doing anthropological research in New Guinea.

Money creates responsibility. Sooner or later we realize that we can live in a decent world only when the money created by our technological foresight returns to increase the knowledge and beauty of this world.

African Growth and Opportunity Act

During President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton’s trip to Africa in 1998, Congress was considering the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). During the trip, President Clinton aimed to show Congress that Africa and the United States were ready to be partners in shared prosperity.

---

National Security Advisor Samuel “Sandy” Berger accompanied the President during this historic trip. Upon his return to Washington D.C., Berger compiled the lessons the participants had learned. These lessons learned showed the promise of the African trade bill that later became the African Growth and Opportunity Act. In September 1998, President Clinton made passage of the bill a top legislative priority to support African nations aiming for democracy and free markets.

In March 1999, the Clinton Administration called upon Congress to “expand opportunities in the United States and Africa by passing the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act.” In May 2000, President Clinton signed the African Growth and Opportunity Act and it has since formed the legislative basis for the United States’ trade with African nations.

🌍RISE OF CHINESE CARS OUTSIDE OF CHINA

The race to win: How automakers can succeed in a post-pandemic China – August 13, 2021 | Report

🚗

Said El Mansour Cherkaoui Ph.D.  ★ Email: saidcherkaoui@triconsultingkyoto.com

Said El Mansour Cherkaoui – Said Cherkaoui – saidcherkaoui@triconsultingkyoto.com

Introduction

How do U.S. car producers based in the United States, other foreign car producers in the United States, European Car Manufacturers selling cars in the United States, and other Asian car producers selling or/and manufacturing cars in the United States, all these car manufacturers react and consider the arrival, establishment and expansion of Chinese made cars and Chinese EV cars and trucks and buses in the United States and Europe and Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.  

What is going to be the scenario, the new global, local, regional, and national trends and perspectives of the competition in the car industry around the world given the rise of Chinese Cars

Chinese car brands still need to be added to the US market, but Chinese-made cars are still sold in the US. 

• Americans bought 104,000 Chinese-made cars in 2023 and nearly 28,000 in the first quarter of 2024.

• Buick, Lincoln, Polestar, and Volvo all sell US cars made in China.

What some people may not realize, however, is that tens of thousands of cars manufactured in China are sold in the US every year. Volvo’s S60L sedan was one of the first Chinese-made cars to be sold in the US starting in 2016, followed by Buick’s Envision SUV and Cadillac’s CT6 hybrid.

US consumers purchased more than 104,000 Chinese-made vehicles in 2023, up 45% from 2022. Americans bought another 28,000 Chinese-made cars during the first quarter of 2024.

Buick, Lincoln, Polestar, and Volvo sell Chinese-made vehicles in the US. Of those, the only Chinese-made EVs come from Polestar, a brand owned by Volvo and its parent company, Geely. The EV brand imported just 2,217 cars in the first three months of 2024. Polestar is expected to start production in South Carolina this year. Will the U.S. government discourage the domestic output of Polestar? Source: Gene Detroyer

Shocks from China Gets Chills to Ford and $9.2B for EV batteries

DOE Loan Programs Office

It’s another landmark day for domestic EV battery manufacturing in the U.S.! Today, LPO announced a conditional commitment for a loan of up to $9.2 billion to BlueOval SK, LLC (BOSK) for the construction of three manufacturing plants to produce batteries for Ford Motor Company’s future Ford and Lincoln electric vehicles (EVs). This marks the eighth conditional commitment for a loan—and the largest-ever to date—that LPO has announced in the last 15 months under the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) loan program, with two of those loans having since been finalized and issued:

Together, the plants, one located in Tennessee and two in Kentucky, will enable more than 120 gigawatt hours of U.S. battery production annually and displace more than 455 million gallons of gasoline per year for the lifetime of the vehicles powered by these batteries. The project is expected to create a total of approximately 5,000 construction jobs in Tennessee and Kentucky, and 7,500 operations jobs once the plants are up and running.

This effort supports President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to onshore and re-shore domestic manufacturing of technologies that are critical to reaching a clean energy and transportation future. Expanding domestic production of American-made batteries is critical to reaching the Biden-Harris Administration’s goals to have EVs represent at least 50% of all new car sales in the U.S. by 2030, reach net-zero electricity by 2035, and a net-zero economy by 2050.

As with all conditional commitments that LPO offers, it’s important to note that the expected U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) loan will only be issued pending the satisfaction of certain conditions, including final legal, contractual, technical, and financial requirements that the conditional commitment specifies.

LPO Announces Conditional Commitment for Up to $9.2 Billion Loan for BlueOval SK to Further Expand U.S. EV Battery Manufacturing Capacity

Uncle Sam’s clean-energy push is giving Ford a major boost. The Energy Department has awarded the automaker a massive $9.2 billion loan to fund the construction of three EV battery plants.

a move Bloomberg reports is « by far the biggest government backing for a U.S. automaker since the bailouts in the 2009 financial crisis. »

The U.S. is trying to reduce its battery reliance on China, which has dominated the market for years and has roughly 80% of the world’s manufacturing capacity. Ford, which made about 132,000 EVs in 2022, hopes to produce 2 million of the vehicles by 2026.

The plants — two in Kentucky, one in Tennessee — are already in the works as part of BlueOval SK, a partnership between Ford and South Korean battery firm SK On. The total projected cost is $11.4 billion.

The U.S. Energy Department said Thursday it plans to lend up to $9.2 billion to a joint venture of Ford Motor and South Korea’s SK On to help it build three battery plants in Tennessee and Kentucky, a record-setting loan for a vehicle supply chain project. The conditional commitment for the low-cost government loan for the BlueOval SK joint venture comes from the government’s Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) loan program. Jigar Shah, the head of the loan program office, told Reuters the loan could close as soon as within 10 weeks.

SCOOP: Ford Motor Company & South Korean battery maker SK On are getting a $9.2 billion loan from the US Department of Energy for three battery plants under construction in Kentucky & Tennessee. It’s a watershed moment in the US race to catch China in green vehicle technology.

Community colleges in Tennessee and Kentucky stand to benefit from the government’s $9B+ investment in battery production. New workforce development and academic programs, as well as re-tooled facilities, will be needed to support the 7,500 operations jobs associated with these new plants.

Global Delocalization of Batterie Manufacturers: Example of Morocco

Let us quickly recall here the advantages which attract investments in new technologies within the countries of the South both from China and from Western countries or other nationalities aiming to relocate certain phases of their production.

The cost of intermediate production, the cost and local availability of raw materials, labor, the proximity of car suppliers and buyers, financial facilities and tax incentives, the flexibility of pollution laws, flexibility of work, the docility of social demands movements, and the rate of social charges and recovery of retirement pensions, health insurance as well as the level of unionization, the cost of land ownership and supply of these lands by the State, the level of logistical infrastructure, the ease of movement of capital, taxation and the rate of social charges and recovery of retirement pensions as well as the level of unionization, remittance and export profits as well as the company’s appropriation ratio. Not to mention the integration of operators and managers from the country of origin benefiting from all the financial and tax advantages recognized by the public authorities. 1/7/2024

Asian Firms to build joint LFP cathode plants in Morocco

CNGR Advanced Material Al Mada Recycling

The focus will be on producing precursors for NCM and LFP cathode materials. The plant will also include recycling facilities. The companies are planning annual capacities of 120,000 tonnes for NCM precursors, 60,000 tonnes for LFP precursors, and 30,000 tonnes for the recycling of battery materials in the first phase. The planned annual production is 70 GWh. That should be enough for more than one million electric vehicles.

Production is mainly for export to meet the high demand in Europe and America – but the partners do not name potential customers. Construction will begin this year after the necessary permits have been obtained and production is scheduled to start in 2025. Source: Info via email

“Morocco aims to open EV battery gigafactory”

Announced on July 22, 2022, at Marrakesh.

Asian Companies Building Battery Factories in Morocco to export to Europe and the U.S.

During the summer of 2022, the Moroccan Minister of Industry and Trade declared that Morocco was negotiating with electric vehicle battery manufacturers to set up a plant in the country to mesh with its existing automotive sector and cobalt output.

“We hope to sign a deal for the plant before the end of this year,” the minister said in an interview with Reuters but declined to name the companies.

He did not say how much investment it would require but referred to it as a “gigafactory,” a term widely used for very big production facilities. The planned factory for EV batteries will “offer a huge momentum for the local automotive sector” and will benefit from the availability of renewable energy and raw materials such as cobalt and phosphates in the country, he said.

Morocco is home to Renault and Stellantis production plants, with a combined production capacity of 700,000. The Dacia Sandero and Peugeot 208 are examples of popular models that are built in Morocco. Demand for such batteries is growing outside and within Morocco, where Citroen plans to double its production capacity within two years from 50,000 EVs, Mezzour said.

Exports by about 250 automakers and suppliers in Morocco have topped the country’s industrial exports over the past seven years, surpassing phosphate sales. Up to May this year, Morocco’s automotive sector sales stood at $4.13 billion, up 24 percent. To increase competitiveness in the face of competition from China and India, Morocco plans to increase the rate of locally made parts in the cars it exports to 80 percent, up from 65 percent currently, Mezzour said.

“We are targeting 1 million within the next three to four years,” Mezzour said. Source:

And what is Europe doing for its renewable industry?

US Billions are flooding into US-based investments, so even European companies are now moving to the US for their investments.

In 2022, the top five manufacturers control more than 80 percent of the battery market.  With an increased interest in EVs – global sales of electric cars totaled 4.2 million units in 2021, up by 108 percent compared with 2020 – there’s been concern that a long list of car companies may soon face an EV battery shortage from electric car battery manufacturers.

The advantages which attract investments in new technologies within the countries of the South both from China and from Western countries or other nationalities aiming to relocate certain phases of their production. The cost of intermediate production, the cost and local availability of raw materials, labor, the proximity of car suppliers and buyers, financial facilities and tax incentives, the flexibility of pollution laws, flexibility of work, the docility of social demands movements, and the rate of social charges and recovery of retirement pensions, health insurance as well as the level of unionization, the cost of land ownership and supply of these lands by the State, the level of logistical infrastructure, the ease of movement of capital, taxation and the rate of social charges and recovery of retirement pensions as well as the level of unionization, remittance and export profits as well as the company’s appropriation ratio.

LG Energy Solution 

A unit of LG Chem, this South Korean battery supplier is neck and neck with CATL as the world’s number one supplier of lithium-ion EV batteries.

Although there has been some controversy along the way – LG Chem successfully sued rivals SK Innovations not too long ago for stealing trade secrets – the future looks bright for the company, with LG Energy Solution beginning production of 4680 cells in 2023, the very same cells which make up Tesla’s most advanced battery pack yet. 

The large format 4680 cylindrical cells are said to increase power by six times and energy by five times, as well as boost an EV’s range by up to 54 percent. 

These 4680 cells are also expected to bring the price of Tesla EVs down to around $US25,000, according to Tesla founder Elon Musk.

The company also has a US$303 million plant in Holland, Michigan, capable of producing enough cells per year to build between 50,000 and 200,000 battery packs for EV and hybrid manufacturers like Ford, General Motors, Hyundai, Volvo, Renault and Chevrolet. 

By 2025, all factories in South Korea, North America, Europe, and China will operate on 100 percent renewable energy. 

BYD

Once written off by Elon Musk, China’s BYD has proven the haters wrong by becoming the world’s top seller of EVs in July 2022, having sold 641,000 vehicles in the first half of 2022 – nearly 80,000 more EVs than Tesla. 

Although it’s gained a strong footing in the EV market, BYD began life as a rechargeable battery manufacturer in 1995, and in 2021 it built a new facility in Chongqing, China, to produce its blade batteries, which are thinner and longer than conventional lithium-ion cells.

Blade batteries are also considered to be the safest EV batteries because they are far less likely to catch fire in an accident. They are also 50 percent smaller than other battery blocks, resulting in lighter and more efficient EVs. 

There seems to be no hard feelings between the Chinese behemoth and Elon Musk: BYD executive vice president Lian Yubo now says BYD is “good friends” with Mr Tesla, and has plans afoot to supply his company with EV batteries.

Panasonic 

Panasonic is another of the world’s largest lithium-ion battery manufacturers, the electronics giant partnering with Tesla on Giga Nevada – or Gigafactory 1, as it’s also known – a $5 billion lithium-ion battery and electric vehicle component factory located in Storey County, Nevada, which produces a Panasonic EV battery exclusively for Tesla’s Model 3, Model S and Model X SUV. 

Panasonic is said to have invested US$1.6 billion in Gigafactory 1 to make itself Tesla’s prime supplier of EV batteries, with raw materials being supplied by a mining company that extracts lithium from a site located 320km away from the factory.

Jointly designed and engineered by Tesla and Panasonic, the ‘2170’ battery has been in mass production since January 2017, with the new and improved 4680 battery cell, which has significant capacity improvements, going into production in 2023. 

Turning an eye to the future, Shoichiro Watanabe, CTO of Panasonic Energy, says the company will achieve a 20 percent improvement in energy density in its battery cells by the end of the decade. 

In much the same way that Tesla has partnered with other EV battery manufacturers in other international markets, Panasonic has also partnered with Toyota to build a lithium-ion battery plant in Japan that will supply batteries for Toyota EVs. Source:

Present Outlook of the World Battery Manufacturing Capacity

With the world gearing up for the electric vehicle era, battery manufacturing has become a priority for many nations, including the United States. However, having entered the race for batteries early, China is far and away in the lead.

This was originally posted on Elements. 

Predominance of China’s World Manufacturing Capacity

– China controls raw materials –

Another key factor in China’s supremacy: is control over the raw materials needed to manufacture the batteries: lithium and cobalt.

According to Bloomberg, the Chinese firms Ganfeng and Tianqi control 17 and 12 percent respectively of the world production of lithium thanks to their investments in mines in Australia and South America.

Tianqi bought a 24 percent stake in Chilean miner SQM for $4.1 billion in December 2018. Together with the US firm Albemarle it also controls the huge Greenbushes mine in Australia.

Meanwhile, Chinese firms control at least half of the cobalt extracted in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where 70 percent of global output comes from, according to estimates cited by Bloomberg.

China Molybdenum bought a major site from the US firm Freeport-McMoran for $2.65 billion in 2016. China also has 80 percent of the world’s capacity to produce refined cobalt using chemical processes.

This is not a basic skill (“We are a car manufacturer, not chemically,” said Marianne Battalion, Renault E’s project manager last year), but second, whether the production was outsourced to Koreans or Chinese, many unemployed motor factories instead.

China has 6 of the top 10 EV battery makers with 60 percent market share, led by CATL and Warren Buffett-backed BYD.

• Besides CATL and BYD, CALB, Gotion High-tech, Sunwoda, and Eve Energy feature among the world’s top 10 EV battery makers, according to SNE Research
• CATL installed 165.7 gigawatt hours of battery cells in the first 11 months of last year, giving it a global market share of 37.1 percent

China’s well-established advantage is set to continue through 2027, with 69% of the world’s battery manufacturing capacity. With nearly 900 gigawatt-hours of manufacturing capacity or 77% of the global total, China is home to six of the world’s 10 biggest battery makers. Behind China’s battery dominance is its vertical integration across the rest of the EV supply chain, from mining the metals to producing the EVs. It’s also the largest EV market, accounting for 52% of global sales in 2021.

The U.S. is projected to increase its capacity by more than 10-fold in the next five years. EV tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act are likely to incentivize battery manufacturing by rewarding EVs made with domestic materials. Alongside Ford and General Motors, Asian companies including Toyota, SK Innovation, and LG Energy Solution have all announced investments in U.S. battery manufacturing in recent months.

Europe will host six of the projected top 10 countries for battery production in 2027. Europe’s current and future battery plants come from a mix of domestic and foreign firms, including Germany’s Volkswagen, China’s CATL, and South Korea’s SK Innovation.

Combating China’s dominance will be expensive. According to Bloomberg, the U.S. and Europe will have to invest $87 billion and $102 billion, respectively, to meet domestic battery demand with fully local supply chains by 2030.

Within such an unbalanced world of Battery Manufacturing Capacity and given that Europe is using a mixed approach, Morocco is positioned to benefit from Europe’s reliance on domestic and foreign manufacturers of batteries.

Morocco, Regional Hub for Battery Material Plants

South Korea’s LG Chem partnering with China Huayou Group announced a project to build in Morocco a joint electric vehicle (EV) battery material plant. On the other side, CNGR, Chinese Battery-Parts Maker, and African Fund Al Mada aim to build an industrial base in Morocco for a battery materials production and recycling facility. All the Production of these facilities is intended for export to meet high demand in Europe and America.

International Conference on Africa

★ EBCITD & GLOCENTRA ★

International Conference on Africa, Berkeley, California, USA

Since my early studies at Institut des Etudes Politiques of the Grenoble University, the development, and integration of Africa were at the forefront of my studies and topics of my presentations in seminaries and essay papers. It was natural that I continue to work and increase awareness about Africa and its need to establish new kinds of relations with countries other than the past metropolitan and colonialists.
Below among other pictures, there is a photo taken in the company with the Regretted Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, former CEO of the African Development Bank Group who holds firmly my hand and is standing at my left side.

I initiated and developed a work plan for the organization of The International Conference on Africa took place in 2001. The first time in the history of the Bay Area of San Francisco and North California to have a conference of such magnitude and subject. that I submitted to Fazale Sharif the Director of the EBCITD which I was the initiator and for which I participated directly in its organization. I contacted and invited Dr. Babacar Ndiaye and in the following photo, the event/photo took place during an International Conference on Africa I had organized in Oakland, California, and of which Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, Rahimahu Allah was our Guest of Honor.

Below are listed links which content present among others some illustrations of my activities concerning the Integration of Africa with which I was directly involved, including the facilitation of the signing of the Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Morocco.

For many among us, time flies through horizons without leaving traces on recognition and gratitude on what we have achieved for the good for others especially in my case not be born in the United States but I remain up to now the maker of differences between cultures and the guardian of the memories I cherish and remember through my meetings and interactions with the real treasuries of the Humanity.
The second link below presents “The ADB honors its former president, the late Babacar Ndiaye: https://www.afdb.org/en/news-and-events/the-afdb-pays-tribute-to-late-president-babacar-ndiaye-17363
