The Yacht Club de Monaco hosted the first edition of Monaco Smart Yacht Rendezvous

MONACO, March 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Yacht Club de Monaco hosted the first Monaco Smart Yacht Rendezvous. The event, organized by Monaco Marina Management (M3), a Monegasque company specializing in the management of marinas, promotes the meeting of start-ups, scale-ups and corporate companies with the aim of presenting innovative solutions adaptable to super-yachts. The two-day initiative kicked off with the visit of Prince Albert II of Monaco, who wanted to meet the various players at the event and to discover the ideas and projects displayed on the stands.

Among the large companies taking part to the rendezvous there were Sanlorenzo, Feadship, Oceanco, Lürssen but there was also room for internationally renowned designers such as Dan Lenard and Espen Oein. Though the main focus remains one for all: the evolution of the yachting industry. “The large presence of all these major yachting players demonstrates their willingness to provide a collective response to climate issues and thus encourage responsible innovation,” said José Marco Casellini, M3 Ceo.

The Yacht Club de Monaco “leads sustainability in Yachting and does a phenomenal job by hosting such an event. I would like to pay tribute to its involvement in promoting environmental transition within the nautical community,” added Olivier Wenden, Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.

Among the topics addressed in this first edition figured the entire life cycle of a yacht: from research & development to its use, through maintenance and financing. New propulsion solutions or choices of more environmental friendly materials, optimization of energy consumption, water management, connectivity and safety were also discussed. During the panels and meetings held at the event, the urge to rethink the yacht of tomorrow emerged and, faced with the emergence of ecological concerns, many builders specialize in research and development. “The Italian yacht industry, therefore pleasure boats over 24 metres, covers 47.5% of world production,” said Sanlorenzo Ceo, Massimo Perotti. “We participate in this event where we talk about sustainability because it is very important. It is true that Italian industry is very strong in this sector and we must be very careful because the world is growing in a direction that is a bit delicate for our productions. Boats in the future will have to be more sustainable if not 100% sustainable.”

For its part, the world of design follows the evolution of the market: “The yacht today can be smart in itself, it can be implemented with technologies that guarantee low or zero emissions, or made of recycled or recyclable materials. All of this is part of the future of yachting. However, it must be remembered that yachting does not end with the product. There is a whole life after the delivery of the yacht and a little is said about it. Just as little is said about the ‘education’ in the use of these boats and the possibilities they offer as an alternative and transversal use,” explained the designer Dan Lenard.

The event was also an opportunity to reward the actors who stood out for their innovative proposals. The winners were selected by an international jury of 44 members who examined -through 181 one-to-one meetings – the proposals of 50 start-ups, scale-ups and corporates selected by the team experts of Blumorpho, a specialist in innovation for a sustainable economy headed by Géraldine A. Gustin. This selection process makes the rendezvouz a 3 months long network event.

In the Start-up category, the Italian Northern Light Composites (Nlcomp) triumphed for its recyclable composite ‘R-Composite’ which solves the problems related to the end of life of fiberglass. “R-composite is the ideal candidate to replace fiberglass composite which is not easily recyclable, causing boat (and wind turbine) blades to go underground. With R-composite we are creating a completely circular economy,” observed Fabio Bignolini, CEO of Northern Light Composites

Among the scale-ups, the British Lineat Composites was awarded for its plan to transform carbon fiber waste deriving from production, processing and the end of the life cycle into recycled carbon fiber to be used in products in the nautical sector but also in the automotive sector. In the corporate category, the award went to the French Wisamo with a device dedicated to wind power propulsion.

Versius used to perform over 10,000 cases

Versius used to perform over 10,000 cases

  • Versius has been used to conduct more than 10,000 surgeries spanning 130 different procedure types across 7 surgical specialties including general surgery, thoracics, colorectal surgery, gynaecology, upper GI and urology
  • Almost 90% of CMR Surgical’s customer hospitals are using Versius across multiple departments; demonstrating the versatility of the system

CAMBRIDGE, UK – 27th March 2023, 07:00 (BST). CMR Surgical (CMR) – the global surgical robotics business – today announces that its next-generation surgical robotic system, Versius®, has been used to perform more than 10,000 soft tissue surgical cases in hospitals around the world. The surgical cases span 130 complex and benign procedure types across seven surgical specialties including colectomies, hysterectomies, hernia repairs and lobectomies.

Versius was developed to expand availability to minimal access surgery around the world. The system gained CE approval in 2019 and today there are over 100 Versius systems installed globally.

Professor Mario Nosotti, Director of the Department of Thoracic Surgery and Lung Transplantations of the Policlinico di Milano, a key institution using the Versius system, said: “We are pleased to have conducted complex clinical cases, across thoracic and general surgery including lobectomies and thymectomies. Having a versatile surgical robot that can be used across specialties has helped us to bring more minimally invasive surgery to patients in the Lombardia region. We hope this programme opens the door to a greater adoption of surgical robotics across the region.”

Dr Pradeep Chowbey is the Chairman, Max Institute of Laparoscopic, Robotic & Bariatric Surgery, Max Healthcare. He is a pioneer minimal access surgeon in the Asia Pacific region. He appreciated the potential of Versius, the next generation robotic platform and adopted it in 2021. He said: “With Versius we are able to deliver excellent clinical outcomes. Versius empowers us to operate with greater dexterity and precision. I continue using Versius in my everyday practice for common as well as advanced laparoscopic surgeries. The platform has a myriad of benefits, some of which include an open console and mobility of the system that enables it to be used across multiple specialities.”

The Versius system was designed with versatility in mind to support high utilisation in hospitals. The lightweight and portable design means that it can be shared between multiple hospital departments to increase utilisation and drive efficiencies. To date, a quarter of hospitals are using the system across seven major surgical specialties, and over 90% are using it in more than one specialty.

The small, modular form factor of Versius means it can fit into virtually any operating room, enabling a wider range of hospitals to start a robotics programme. Versius has enabled a number of hospitals to adopt a surgical robot for the first time, including Cristo Re Hospital in Italy and Klinikum Chemnitz in Germany, which required a versatile system capable of fitting into any operating room suitable for multi-specialty use.

Supratim Bose, Chief Executive Officer of CMR Surgical, comments: “Our mission is to help hospitals to deliver minimal access surgery to as many patients as possible, and I’m delighted to see us continue to make strong strides in our journey, having reached the milestone of over 10,000 patients treated using Versius. With Versius, the system can be used around the clock and around the hospital, enabling more hospitals to adopt surgical robotics programmes, providing greater access to minimal access surgery.”

Mark Slack, Chief Medical Officer of CMR Surgical, adds: “We launched Versius following the IDEAL framework, and along with the clinical registry we have a wealth of data that can support surgeons and hospitals to deliver the best care to their patients. We are proud that Versius has been used to help more than 10,000 people, with data showing that the use of the system is as safe as manual laparoscopy. The benefits of manual laparoscopy for patients are well-established and surgical robotics can help to enable more patients to benefit from this surgical technique. We look forward to working with more hospitals to increase access to surgical robotics.”

Clinical data from procedures is collected in the clinical registry giving surgeons and hospitals a wealth of information. CMR launched one of the world’s first clinical registries for surgical robotics as part of the Versius digital ecosystem, recording real world data from Versius procedures to ensure safety and help surgeons and hospitals to drive surgical standards.

The Versius® Surgical Robotic System

Versius® resets expectations of robotic surgery. Versius fits into virtually any operating room set-up and integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, increasing the likelihood of robotic minimal access surgery (MAS). The small, portable and modular design of Versius allows the surgeon to only use the number of arms needed for a given procedure.

Biomimicking the human arm, Versius gives surgeons the choice of optimised port placement alongside the dexterity and accuracy of small fully-wristed instruments. With 3D HD vision, easy-to adopt instrument control and a choice of ergonomic working positions, the open surgeon console has the potential to reduce stress and fatigue and allows for clear communication with the surgical team. By thinking laparoscopically and operating robotically with Versius, patients, surgeons and healthcare professionals can all benefit from the value that robotic MAS brings.

But it’s more than just a robot. Versius captures meaningful data with its wider digital ecosystem to support a surgeon’s continuous learning. Through the Versius Connect app, Versius Trainer and CMR clinical registry, Versius unleashes a wealth of insights to ultimately improve surgical care.

FCB Tops 2023 WARC Rankings for Creative Effectiveness

FCB awarded #1 Creative Agency & #1 Campaign for Effectiveness in WARC Effective 100

2023 WARC Rankings

2023 WARC Rankings

NEW YORK, March 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FCB was a top performer in the 2023 WARC Rankings, earning recognition as the #1 Creative Agency for Effectiveness in the WARC Effective 100, among other distinctions. Numerous FCB campaigns were honored as well, including Michelob ULTRA’s “Contract for Change,” which ranked as the #1 Campaign for Effectiveness.

“Creative is the business and the business is creative. To separate the two does a disservice to the industry. We will continue to partner with our clients to create work that is both effective in the moment and impactful long term. FCB is honored that this Timely and Timeless approach to work is being recognized by WARC,” said Susan Credle, FCB Global Chair & Global CCO.

In the Effective 100, FCB New York was named the #1 Creative Agency for Effectiveness, joined by two additional FCB agencies, with FCB Chicago ranking #4 and FCB Toronto ranking #7, making it WARC’s top-ranked Canadian agency this year.

“Our offices are showing why brands shouldn’t have to choose between activating business today and building equity over time,” said Tyler Turnbull, FCB Global CEO. “We’re grateful to our clients for embracing creativity and believing in FCB’s mission to prove creativity as an economic multiplier for their businesses.”

Also in the Effective 100, Michelob ULTRA’s “Contract for Change,” created by FCB New York and FCB Chicago, ranked as the #1 Campaign for Effectiveness this year. The campaign, which also won the Cannes Lions 2022 Creative Effectiveness Grand Prix, was a revolutionary agreement to grow America’s 1% of organic farmland and transform over 100,000 acres of farmland to produce ingredients for Michelob ULTRA’s Pure Gold.

A total of six FCB campaigns ranked as top campaigns for effectiveness:

  • (#1) “Contract for Change” by Michelob ULTRA, FCB Chicago, FCB New York
  • (#8) “Long Term” by the Canadian Down Syndrome Society (CDSS), FCB Canada
  • (#12) “Courtside” by Michelob ULTRA, FCB New York
  • (#26) “Project Understood” by the Canadian Down Syndrome Society (CDSS), FCB Canada
  • (#55) “A Song for Every CMO” by Spotify, FCB New York
  • (#57) “Gear Up” by Bank of Montreal (BMO), FCB Canada

FCB’s success is largely attributed to the ongoing expansion and integration of global creative data and CRM capability FCB/SIX, which aims help clients break through to deliver meaningful experiences and make every media dollar count.

WARC Effective 100 results come on the heels of FCB being named the #3 Global Agency Network in the WARC Creative 100, with three FCB agencies ranking in the top 100 creative agencies and five FCB campaigns ranking in the top 100 creative campaigns.

At the Yacht Club de Monaco meetings and panels were held on the future of the yachting industry

MONACO, March 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The first day of an intense week of initiatives comes to an end at the Yacht Club de Monaco, where meetings, discussions and panels dedicated to yachting and sustainability were held. On the occasion of the sixth Monaco Ocean Week, an initiative supported by the Prince Albert II Foundation, as every year, the YCM is in charge of the Yachting with the 12th edition of the Environmental symposium, the Captain’s forum and the Explorers’ Awards. Moreover the YCM is hosting the Monaco Smart Yacht Rendezvous. “So many initiatives that are part of our collective approach ‘Monaco, Capital of Advanced Yachting’. This is what we want to be: an innovation platform to support the yachting industry. It is necessary to demonstrate that yachting moves responsibly and intends to improve in order to bring an evolution in society,” says YCM secretary general, Bernard d’Alessandri.

Focus of the Environmental symposium was the tenth edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (scheduled for July) which brought attention to alternative energies and energy efficiency and how these issues are addressed by the new generations of engineers. “Young people can contribute a lot to change and bring all-round innovation, for this we have to work on propulsion, hulls, structures, materials and source of energy. We have to work step by step and develop technologies with all the players in the sector, starting with producers and shipowners,” underlines Thomas Grosjean, marine fuel cell engineer of Shipping Lab.

Highlights of this first day: the YCM Explorer Awards of La Belle Classe Superyachts awards ceremony. The awards are destined to owners who stand out for their commitment to protecting the marine environment, both in the design of their yacht and in the way they use it. The ceremony was attended by Prince Albert II of Monaco: “Not only do we need to continue exploring but also to carry this feeling with us in everything we do. We must continue to be fascinated by what nature and the ocean show us, at the same time preserve it and witness it,” says the prince who is also president of the Yacht Club.

Assigned by a jury of experts they were given out for three categories: Technology & Innovation awarded to S/Y Marie Joseph (24m), Mediation & Science awarded to M/Y Ocean Explorer (87m) and Adventure & Environmental Ethics awarded to S/Y SeaHawk (59m). M/V Plastic Odyssey (39m) triumphed in the Coup de Coeur category. “Plastic Odyssey – says the founder Simon Bernard – is an expedition around the world that began with the intention of fighting plastic pollution by involving local entrepreneurs in recycling it before it is disposed of in the sea. It is an honor to be here, above all because we are young. I was here in 2018 for the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge and a few years later I’m here again to collect this award, an exciting moment for me.”

Part of the day was dedicated to the 27th Captains’ Forum with a focus on management and skills. “Without teamwork on board, we would be powerless – says Paul Rose, explorer and popularizer – Regardless of the size of the vessel, it is necessary to work in a welcoming environment and with ease, to avoid the slightest problem and ensure the safety of the crew but also the guests on board. The management and leadership could not be more valuable. As a micro-company, the members of a crew have a well-defined role is a very interesting model to observe and it would be wise to draw inspiration from it.” In general, “what we have to do is be able to communicate to people that the world of yachting and those who work in it are all closely connected with the ocean. So their opinion on ocean conservation has a significant weight, even when confronted with politicians and business leaders, because she was trained right at sea.”

The discussions will continue today with the Monaco Smart Yacht Rendez-vous organised by Monaco Marina Management. HSH Prince Albert II came today to discover the innovative solutions, proposed by start-ups, scaleups and corporates, and which are applicable for superyachts.
