New report measures value of business travel for first time

London, June 15, 2021: Only 24 months ago, business travel was synonymous with global corporations and senior executives’ roles. During the global lockdowns, companies have experienced the direct impact of no travel or in-person meetings on their business functions and operations. In new research from VistaJet, the first and only global business aviation company, in association with WSJ Intelligence, that impact is quantified for the first time.

For The Future of Business Travel report over 200 high-level company executives in the U.S., EMEA and APAC were surveyed about the essential role and value of travel in their professional lives.

During the pandemic, travel has been limited for 90% of companies surveyed, and almost all (97%) said their businesses experienced negative impact directly related to those restrictions. Nearly one-quarter (24%) indicated massive or substantial disruptions across all eight areas measured, and 87% cited massive or substantial disruption in at least one area. More than a third (37%) said international business development and product launches took a hit due to a lack of in-person presence.

As restrictions ease, built-up anticipation for business travel is clear, with 81% saying business travel will be more important than ever to driving success. Among respondents who take eight or more private flights a year, 60% plan to significantly increase in-person meetings.

VistaJet has seen a surge of 49% in corporate interest around the world since the start of the pandemic, confirming that flying private continues to be a key support for business travel. The main benefits of taking private flights for business travel are reported by those surveyed, in order, as flexibility, efficiency, safety and privacy. The two top priorities for trips are visiting partners and vendors and going to industry events, each at 34%. Managing current relationships and building new ones are also key drivers.

The return to business travel largely hangs on regulations — 46% of respondents are waiting for destinations to reopen; 42% want updated COVID-19 data and rules for destinations; 36% seek support in case COVID-19 regulations change during a trip; and the same number await relaxation of their own company’s travel policies.

Ian Moore, Chief Commercial Officer, VistaJet said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has upended the world, including travel. It also showed that some business travel is truly essential and having to forgo in-person trips came at a real cost to companies. Additionally, it is hard to read a room when everyone is in individual windows on screen — misunderstandings can occur, especially across cultures, and these in turn can become costly mistakes.”

To further support businesses around the world connect and restart the economy in the midst of heightened market insecurity, VistaJet recently launched a new Corporate Membership, offering speed and maximum flexibility with payment in arrears, unlimited flying hours, guaranteed availability of additional aircraft, and streamlined travel logistics.

Toga Limited’s Yippi App Employs Electronic Know Your Customer Technology to Expediate Its User Onboarding Process

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, June 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Toga Limited (OTC: TOGL) through its wholly owned subsidiary, TOGL Technology Sdn Bhd, collaborates with a renowned cloud computing company and an electronic Know-Your-Customer (e-KYC) technology provider to expediate the online process of identifying and verifying individuals from five days to 24 hours, for its social media mobile app, Yippi.

The strategic partnership enables the Yippi customer service (CS) team to reduce the turnaround time for the online process of identifying and verifying individuals anytime and anywhere, as the e-KYC system allows new users to open a Yippi account and verify their identities simply by scanning their national identity card and taking a photo.

“With the e-KYC system in place, we are able to reduce identity fraud by means of its comprehensive ID document security check; comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) model specifically facial recognition, and risk engine that can identify frauds automatically, hence speeding up approval notifications for our CS team with the necessary information to approve or reject applications, as needed,” said TOGL Technology Chief Technology Officer, Mr. Freddy Chia Kah See.

“Additionally, under special circumstances, our team also conducts e-KYC to utilize technology like AI, machine learning and predictive algorithms to manage the process,” he added.

“The introduction of e-KYC is also in line with our efforts to facilitate greater digital offerings of Yippi services, and we expect it will pave the way to greater innovation in the social media app sector, including end-to-end offerings of digital services for our users,” said Mr. Chia.

Yippi applies an e-KYC digital and remote online solution system, which combines biometrics security technology, “spoof detection” and optical character recognition. Biometric security analyzes the unique characteristics of a person, such as one’s voice, iris or fingerprints. Spoof detection, also called “liveness”, entails a user responding to a challenge, such as blinking on cue, which is an action impossible for a static image a fraud might use. Optical character recognition transforms a picture of an ID card into text that can be compared against a database for name and identity verification.

Jeito Capital becomes key investor in Alentis Therapeutics as part of $67 million Series B financing round

Jeito Capital becomes key investor in Alentis Therapeutics as part of $67 million Series B financing round

  • Jeito Capital selects Alentis Therapeutics as its fifth investment since launching the fund
  • Alentis is focused on the development of breakthrough treatments for fibrotic diseases and associated cancers

Paris, France, 15 June 2021 – Jeito Capital (Jeito), a rapidly emerging independent Private Equity firm dedicated to biotech and biopharma, today announces that it has become a key investor as part of a $67 million Series B financing round in Alentis Therapeutics (Alentis). The Swiss biotech company, a spin-off of French Inserm with R&D in Strasbourg, France, is developing breakthrough therapies for patients suffering from fibrotic diseases and associated cancers.

Proceeds from the financing round will be used for proof-of-concept clinical trials of Alentis’ first-in-class assets, uniquely targeting fibrosis pathways for the treatment of life-threatening advanced liver and kidney fibrosis as well as associated cancers. Alentis expects to initiate its first clinical trial by the end of 2021.

Jeito’s investment aims to enable Alentis to accelerate the clinical pathway for various indications, with the potential to provide life-changing treatments to severely ill patients who have no other options. The investment will also give the Company the opportunity to expand its pipeline and explore further indications, including fibrotic associated cancers.

The financing round brings in Jeito Capital and Morningside Venture Investments alongside existing investors BioMed Partners, BB Pureos Bioventures, Bpifrance, High-Tech Gründerfonds and Schroders Capital. Following the fundraise, Rafaèle Tordjman, Founder and CEO of Jeito Capital, will join Alentis’ Board of Directors.

This is Jeito’s fifth investment since launching its fund in 2020. With more than €250 million under management, Jeito Capital is building a strong and diversified portfolio in biotech and biopharma companies based in Europe with global reach focused on the treatment of life-threatening diseases. Previous investments include French companies SparingVision and InnoSkel, respectively in the fields of ophthalmology and rare skeletal disorders, Dutch biotech Neogene Therapeutics in solid tumors, and recently Pulmocide in respiratory diseases, based in the UK.

Alentis is led by a highly experienced management team from the biotech and pharma industries. The Company’s science is based on more than 10 years of research by founder Thomas Baumert, a world class hepatology expert who currently serves as the head of Inserm’s Institute of Viral and Liver Diseases. Prof. Baumert’s research in Claudin-1 is unique and, until now, has not been explored as a potential treatment target for fibrotic diseases.

Rafaèle Tordjman, founder and CEO of Jeito, said:Our investment in Alentis at this pivotal time of development will be crucial for its success and we are looking forward to working closely alongside their very experienced team. Our expertise lies in helping management teams from the science right through to commercialization of the product and here we will aim to accelerate Alentis’ efforts towards the initiation of the company’s first clinical trials. This represents our fifth investment in our diverse portfolio and strengthens our commitment to investing in European biotechs working towards the development of lifesaving assets targeted at diseases with unmet need based on outstanding science.

Dr. Roberto Iacone, Chief Executive Officer at Alentis Therapeutics, said: “We are delighted to have closed this financing round with new investors Jeito Capital and Morningside Venture Investments, two well respected and highly knowledgeable institutions within the healthcare space who will bring invaluable experience to the Board as we progress towards the initiation of our first clinical trials. Building on 20 years of work and positive preclinical data collected on ALE.F02, we are confident in the success of the upcoming trials as we work with both new and existing investors towards commercialization, providing a much needed safe and effective treatment to patients suffering from fibrotic diseases and hepatobiliary cancers.”

About Alentis Therapeutics
Alentis Therapeutics is a Swiss-based biotech that focuses on developing breakthrough treatments for fibrotic diseases. The company was founded in 2019 based on ground-breaking research in the laboratory of Prof. Thomas Baumert MD at the University of Strasbourg and the French National Institute of Health (Inserm).

The company’s lead candidates are monoclonal antibodies that are highly selective for Claudin-1, a novel, previously unexploited target with a unique mechanism of action that plays a key role in the pathology of liver fibrosis and fibrosis-driven hepatobiliary cancers. It also has early discovery programs exploring the potential of Claudin-1 inhibition in the treatment of fibrosis of other tissues including the kidney and lung. These represent very large and expanding markets with high unmet need. Furthermore, the company uses a patient-derived drug and target discovery platform to develop medicines for advanced fibrosis.

Unlike current therapies in fibrosis, which mostly address the disease indirectly, Alentis’ pioneering approach has the potential to directly modify and reverse the course of disease progression.

Alentis is headquartered in Basel’s pharma-biotech hub in Switzerland with a subsidiary for R&D in Strasbourg, France.

G-7 Tax Reform Proposal Draws Fire from Smaller, Developing Countries

Smaller economies and developing nations are rallying behind a rival global tax reform plan to the one struck last week by the wealthy G-7 nations.

Under the agreement, the G-7 nations are backing a global minimum corporate tax of 15%, but smaller nations say the reform would harm their economies, if adopted across the world, and retard their recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

They complain the reform, proposed by U.S. President Joe Biden as part of a bigger package aimed at curbing tax avoidance by large corporations shifting where their profits are taxed, will benefit only rich countries. They argue they should be allowed to offer corporate tax rates lower than the G-7’s earmarked minimum.

But G-7 finance ministers say that will just allow the continuation to a race to the bottom, where countries compete for multinationals’ business by reducing corporate tax rates.

Ireland’s prime minister Leo Varadkar said raising his country’s 12.5% corporate tax rate, would be “damaging to the national interest.” Other leaders of smaller nations say using tax rates to lure foreign investment is crucial for their economic well-being.

Many back a rival plan that the U.N. Tax Committee has been developing which focuses specifically on the digital giants and grants additional taxation rights to countries where the digital services are provided and where the revenue is generated as opposed to where the country is headquartered, enabling developing economies to capture more income, too. India, Argentina, Ecuador, Ghana, Nigeria and Vietnam are among the emerging economies favoring the U.N. plan, arguing it reflects the economic needs of developing nations.

“The G-7 change is, in part, about getting big companies to pay more tax, by closing off loopholes which allow them to shift profits around the world. But behind all the fine words is also a desperate scramble by countries to generate revenue for their own exchequers, in the wake of a massive COVID-19 hit,” complains business commentator Eoin Burke-Kennedy in a commentary for the Irish Times.

The G-7 proposal follows mirrors the lines of a reform the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development — a 38-strong forum of mainly high-income countries — has been advocating for years that would see multinationals pay a greater proportion of tax in those countries where they earn profits and establish of a minimum global tax rate. But that would put a squeeze on smaller entrepreneurial nations, and not just those that are largely viewed as brazen tax havens, say opponents.

G-7 finance ministers hope last week’s summit will add momentum for upcoming tax talks planned with 135 countries in Paris and for a meeting of the Group of 20 countries in Venice next month. Under the G-7 proposal companies would pay the bulk of their taxes in the country where they are headquartered, even when profits, labor and the raw materials used are sourced from developing countries. Much of the proposal focuses on 100 of the world’s leading companies.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the G-7 proposal guarantees greater equity. “That global minimum tax would end the race-to-the-bottom in corporate taxation and ensure fairness for the middle class and working people in the U.S. and around the world,” she posted on Twitter.

But that isn’t the view of several smaller European governments, who for years have been fending off efforts by the European Union to establish a corporate tax minimum for member states and whose opposition has not diminished. Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orban, has ridiculed the tax proposal.

“I consider it absurd that any world organization should assert the right to say what taxes Hungary can levy and what taxes it cannot,” Orban said at a recent press conference. Hungary has a 9% corporate rate, the lowest in the EU, which has helped the country attract foreign investment, say Hungarian officials. They say a global minimum tax rate would likely impact 2,000 to 3,000 major companies in Hungary.

The Polish government has also expressed opposition, largely on grounds of national sovereignty. The country’s corporate tax rate is 19%, well above the proposed minimum, and it has spoken out in recent years against tax havens and digital giants escaping tax.

But Polish finance minister Tadeusz Koscinski told the Financial Times last week that Warsaw does not want the G-7 “dictating what tax rate we have in our country.” The Poles have also suggested domestic companies should have a waiver on a corporate tax minimum. “We don’t support the idea of a minimum tax on the profits companies make in Poland on business in Poland,” he said.

Ireland has been the most forward-leaning in voicing opposition. Irish finance minister Paschal Donohoe has complained smaller nations don’t have the same capacity for scale as the larger economies do.

The African Tax Administration Forum, an advisory group for African governments, says there should be a tiered approach in which minimum thresholds could be set at lower levels for smaller economies. “We don’t think a single threshold for all economies is equitable,” it said in a statement. The strength of the opposition to the G-7 proposal suggests it will be hard to get a sign from the G-20 next month or from a majority of the 135 countries meeting soon in Paris, say finance-sector observers.
