Angola: Tenders in the Lobito Corridor! International call for tender in July 2024! Angolan Transport Minister Ricardo de Abreu announced a new concession for the southern section of the Lobito corridor, including the port of Namibe and the Moçâmedes railway. Improvement and expansion! The aim is to integrate different modes of transport to stimulate the economy and extend the railway inland and to neighbouring countries such as Namibia and Zambia. The port of Namibe handles 50% of Angola's exports and the Lobito corridor is crucial for regional trade. Investments on the horizon! The main donors, the United States and the European Union, have now signed a memorandum of understanding to support this ambitious modernisation plan. ■ This corridor will also connect the cobalt and copper mines of the DRC and Zambia to the Atlantic Ocean. #Sarenolia  * #Colonialism #ConstructionPolitics #GlobalConstructionPolitics #VedatOzkan #Africa #AfricanUnion #Strategy #Trade #Sociology #Antropology #Railway

Five years ago, I saw a unique opportunity to merge the biggest world trends: digital and energy transition, which made me embark on a journey to transform the data center industry towards the path of sustainability. Very few believed in the ability of changing the industry’s very set ways. Today, it is heartwarming to see that the last thing I made sure was secured, before leaving office, is finally taking off. To all previous naysayers, do you believe me now? The next wave of data center industry transformation is brewing: stay tuned!

This is another indication that higher taxes for the wealthy doesn’t work. Politically it’s financial suicide and a negative move. The UK Government need to find ways of encouraging investment into the UK, not the opposite. Leading by fear is not the way forward. This is a nation of high intellect, innovation and creative youth. We need to foster greater investment in our future and learn not to sell-out to foreign corporates. UK - Innovate - Nuture - Create - Invest

Today, I had the honor of representing Galp at the 12th ENVE, an event promoted by UVE - Associação de Utilizadores de Veículos Elétricos that remains a beacon of innovation in the e-mobility space in Portugal. At Galp, we are committed to leading the energy transition, and today we showcased one of our latest innovations: a state-of-the-art 480kW charger with four outlets from Hellonext. With this charger, we're getting even closer to replicating the traditional fuel experience—adding 100km of range in just 2 minutes, making EV charging faster and more convenient than ever. This is the first and only unit of its kind in Portugal, and it represents a significant milestone in our decarbonization journey. This powerful piece of technology is designed to seamlessly convert traditional oil dispenser islands into modern charging hubs at our Galp energy and convenience assets. With our Galp Energy Card offer (CEME), home charging solutions (Wallbox and DPC), and E-mobility infrastructure, we are setting the stage for a sustainable future, one charge at a time. #Galp #GalpElectric #UVE #ENVE2024 #Decarbonization #Sustainability #FutureOfEnergy #Innovation #ElectricVehicles #Emobility #Hellonext

🇵🇹🌊💨 That's the way to go, Portugal! Seizing the opportunity to develop floating offshore wind energy is crucial, in order to lead the development of this opportunity nation wide, in Europe and globally! The strategy is to set up an auction that is neither too large to be unaffordable nor too small to miss out on technological and industrial development for the country. They aim to find the optimum balance and guiding the way forward in a step by step approach. What are your thoughts on the approach taken? How can this public investment be capitalized for the country’s energy sector? #portugaloffshorewind #portugaloffshoretender #portugalleilaooffshore #RenewableEnergy #GreenEnergy #SustainableEnergy #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #OffshoreWindEnergy #EnergyInnovation #ClimateAction #EnergyPolicy #TechDevelopment #IndustrialGrowth #FutureOfEnergy #LisbonEnergySummit

Did you know that the 24th of October marks the International Day Against Climate Change? We all play a crucial role in protecting the planet, but EDP recognises that energy transition is a key factor in this process. Even small actions can change the course of climate change, and we can start today. Your efforts could protect biodiversity, save species, and inspire others to do the same.

Eliyahu Goldratt's expression "if you are in a hole, stop digging" summarizes the idea that upon realizing a situation is deteriorating, the most logical action is to stop the activities contributing to that deterioration. Metaphorically, continuing to dig means persisting in behaviors or decisions that exacerbate the problem instead of solving it. This expression is directly related to the concept of rigid thinking and cognitive inflexibility. Rigid thinking refers to the inability to adapt or change perspectives in light of new information or circumstances. Cognitive inflexibility, on the other hand, describes the difficulty in changing strategies or approaches when they are clearly not working. Both conditions can lead to behavior similar to "continuing to dig." When an individual or organization insists on an approach despite evidence that it is not working, they are demonstrating cognitive inflexibility. This type of thinking prevents the identification and adoption of more effective alternatives, perpetuating the problem. Goldratt's phrase and issues of rigid thinking share a common point: the need to recognize and stop counterproductive actions. To escape a "hole," it is essential to adopt a flexible stance, be open to new information, and adjust behaviors as needed. Thus, both the phrase and the discussed concepts emphasize the importance of an adaptive and mindful approach to solving problems effectively. #rigidthinking #cognitiveinflexibility #cognitivedysfunctions TOCfE-Theory of Constraints for Education Brazil TOCfE-Theory of Constraints for Education Mozambique
