The Future of Supply Chain Transparency: How Security Matters' Blockchain Solution is Changing the Game

Security Matters PLC

In a recent interview with New to the Street’s Ana Berry, Haggai Alon, founder and CEO of Security Matters (NASDAQ: SMX), discussed how the company's technology is revolutionizing supply chain authentication, traceability, and transparency. Security Matters' innovative solution marks materials with a virtual memory of their origination, with the data recorded on the blockchain. This technology is helping to create transparency and efficiency across various industries, such as fashion and plastics. Supply Chain Authentication Market Estimated CAGR of 12.6% Between 2022 and 2031 The horizon for the supply chain authentication market is brimming with potential, as global growth prospects appear bright. A remarkable $2 billion market size in 2021 is expected to surge to an astonishing $6.3 billion by 2031, propelled by a stupendous compound annual growth rate of 12.6% from 2022 to 2031. This momentous growth is rooted in the escalating requirement for supply chain transparency, escalating occurrences of cyberattacks throughout supply chains, and the implementation of innovative technologies to amplify security measures. As the market continues to expand, the demand for secure and reliable supply chain solutions has become a driving force. Businesses are seeking out innovative tools that can help them identify and mitigate potential risks in real time. With greater visibility and transparency, decision-making is becoming more informed and precise than ever before. Furthermore, the cloud is proving to be a game-changer, with its ability to support various architectures and developer tools that can enhance both professional and web-based applications. So, it's no surprise that cloud deployment types are expected to experience the highest growth during the forecast period. SMX’s Technology and Unique Characteristics By reducing dependence on sourcing materials from subcontractors outside the United States and increasing the ability to use waste materials, Security Matters' technology enables companies to maintain growth and profitability. This is achieved by being present at every stage of a material's lifecycle, from virgin raw material to end-of-life recycling. Allen believes that growth and sustainability can coexist, with Security Matters' technology providing a unique toolbox for companies to maintain a healthy economy. By helping companies use more recycled content and providing a single technology that covers everything from sourcing to production to recycling, Security Matters gives businesses a competitive advantage. The company originated from the Israeli government, with a team of scientists developing the technology and filing nearly 100 patents on 50 different materials. One example of the technology's application is in the fashion industry, particularly in the leather market. Security Matters' technology marks leather at various stages of production, allowing brands to provide their customers with greater transparency and fostering a new level of relationship in the digital world. Blockchain plays a crucial role in Security Matters' solution, as unique molecular sequences are added at each stage of the material's lifecycle. This provides an additional layer of data per the request of stakeholders or brands, which can be read and extracted at any stage with a single reader. This comprehensive approach to supply chain transparency has the potential to significantly impact industries worldwide as the market continues to grow at a rapid pace. In conclusion, Security Matters is at the forefront of innovation in supply chain authentication, traceability, and transparency with its groundbreaking technology. As the market size for supply chain authentication continues to soar, driven by increasing demand for transparency and heightened security measures, companies like Security Matters play a pivotal role in shaping the future of this industry. By leveraging blockchain technology, reducing reliance on external subcontractors, and promoting sustainability, Security Matters' solutions have the potential to transform businesses across various sectors. As we move into a digital era that demands greater transparency and efficiency, the company's commitment to providing scalable and eco-friendly solutions could prove to be a game-changer for both businesses and the planet.

Carmakers Accelerate Push to Secure Raw Battery Materials

MarketJar

As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) continues rising around the world, carmarkers are working harder to find the raw materials required to make EV batteries. Tesla has signed a number of supply contracts to ensure a steady supply of nickel and lithium, including agreements with the BHP Group and Core Lithium of Australia and Ganfeng Lithium of China. Panasonic Holdings, a supplier to Tesla, has also started construction on a new lithium battery factory in Kansas, which is expected to cost $4 billion. Mercedes recently reached an agreement with Rock Tech Lithium to secure a supply of high-grade lithium hydroxide that will allow the company to manufacture 150,000 electric vehicles. The partnership is an integral part of Mercedes' effort to vertically integrate and localize its electric vehicle supply chain. General Motors has also made a move for the mining space, announcing a $650 million investment into Lithium Americas Corp. to accelerate the development of the Thacker Pass project in Nevada, which has the potential to be North America’s largest lithium source. Lithium Americas began construction at Thacker Pass in March and is targeting first production in H2 2026. Of course, it isn’t just EV makers that require lithium. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global demand could increase over 40 times by 2040 if countries stick to their Paris agreement targets to reduce planet-heating emissions. In order to boost domestic supply chains and increase the number of producing lithium properties in North America, both the US and Canadian government are investing billions. The US Department of Energy is investing $2.8 billion in grants to expand domestic manufacturing of batteries for EVs and the electrical grid, while Canada’s 2022 federal budget has set aside $3.8 billion in funding for critical minerals development. A Mining Company Well-Positioned to Capitalize on North America's Growing Demand for Lithium Despite the fact that the US only supplies 1% of the world's lithium supply, the most of which comes from Albemarle's Silver Peak mine, more projects are advancing thanks to government efforts to boost supply. Pan American Energy Corp. ( CSE:PNRG ) ( OTC:PAANF ) is a North American mining exploration company focused on expanding the lithium supply chain by buying, exploring, and developing lithium properties. The company has three promising assets in top mining jurisdictions that are located in close proximity to some of the most exciting lithium discoveries in recent years, including its Horizon Lithium Project, which adjoins American Battery Technology’s Tonopah Flats project, one of the largest known lithium deposits in the US with an estimated 15.8 million tons (Mt) of LCE, and its Big Whopper Project, which is adjacent to Avalon Advanced Materials’ Big Whopper project in Ontario, a deposit with pegmatite reserves of 8.4 Mt grading 1.408% lithium oxide (Li 2 O). On April 25, Pan American announced that five of the eleven fully-funded drill holes have been completed and has begun preparing for the Phase Two Program. Pan American Energy also provided an update on the fully funded Phase 1 drill program at its Horizon Lithium project in Nevada. The first five drill holes revealed broad zones of mineralization with values exceeding 2,040 ppm. The Company completed the eleven hole Phase One drilling program on April 20, 2023, and is now ready to begin the eleven hole Phase Two drilling program. Horizon Lithium, which borders American Battery Technology's Tonopah Flats Project (15.8 million tonnes inferred lithium carbonate equivalent), has lithium-bearing horizons and the potential for a significant lithium deposit in the Siebert Formation. With each drill hole, Pan American is seeing increasing thicknesses of potential lithium-bearing claystone as drilling approaches the anticipated center of the basin. Not to mention, the base of the Siebert Formation hasn’t been encountered yet meaning tremendous opportunity for program expansion in future exploration. The Horizon Project consists of 839 claims spanning 7,015 hectares and is located just 7.5 km from Tonopah, Nevada. The project is prospective for near-surface claystone lithium based on regional peer analysis which indicates lithium is weakly bound to the clays, unlocking conventional mining methods including open pit. Pan American Energy and Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. also recently completed a collaborative magnetic survey partnership project at the Big Mack and Big Whopper Project near Kenora, Ontario. EarthEx Geophysical Solutions completed the project on schedule and on budget. The magnetic survey is expected to have 725 line-km with a line spacing of 25 m and a tie line spacing of 250 m. Pan American and Avalon will benefit from a better understanding of the structural characteristics and stress/strain of the emplaced pegmatites in the Separation Rapids area as a result of the partnership between industry and academia on this project. Pan American plans to partner with EarthEx in the future to conduct drone-borne gamma-ray spectrometry, LiDAR, and high-resolution air photography. For more information on Pan American Energy Corp.

Freelance Creative Jobs Thrive Despite AI Surge

FREELANCER.COM

New data released today by Freelancer.com (ASX: FLN) (OTCQX: FLNCF), the world’s largest freelancing marketplace by number of users and jobs posted, shows an incoming startup boom amongst an unprecedented surge in freelance creative design and AI job growth. The Fast 50 Q1 2023 Index, the world’s largest forward indicator of freelance job trends, analyzes over 304,000 jobs posted to Freelancer.com between January and March 2023. The index finds that jobs for T-Shirt Design (up 33.1%, from 1,403 to 1,868), Covers & Packaging Design (up 27.3%, from 1,128 to 1,436), and Corporate Identity Design (up 24.2%, from 2,474 to 3,073) were the three fastest growing job types by total percentage growth when compared to Q4 2022. These were followed by Product Design (up 22.9%, 1,214 to 1,493) and 3D Design (up 22%, from 5,027 to 6,135) jobs. Design skills with the largest job counts on the platform also grew significantly this quarter. There were a whopping 7,495 extra Graphic Design jobs in Q1 (up 12.1%, from 61,709 to 69,204), followed by an additional 6,731 Logo Design jobs (up 20.4%, from 32,963 to 39,694) and 5,902 extra jobs requiring skills in Photoshop (up 15.4%, from 38,224 to 44,126). Design is both the most in-demand and the highest paying skill on Freelancer.com, as found in the Freelancing in 2022 Report. These types of jobs, particularly logo design, packaging design and t-shirt creation, are typically the starting point for many founders launching a new business. The sudden influx of design, eCommerce and marketing jobs are a key indicator of a boom in startups. Simultaneously, jobs requiring skills in Artificial Intelligence were the seventh fastest growing skill on Freelancer.com (up 20.62% in Q1 2023 from 1,038 to 1,252). Jobs demanding Generative AI skills, such as ChatGPT, Dall-E, Midjourney and Chatbots, grew by more than 325% from 286 in Q4 2022 to 1,216 in Q1 2023. “While many speculate whether AI will take design jobs, our latest data shows that this is certainly not the case. Design jobs are the most popular job type on the platform and continue to grow despite advances in hyper-realistic generative AI tools,” said Matt Barrie, Chief Executive at Freelancer.com. “What’s more interesting in this data is zooming out and looking at the main trend: the startup boom. The most in-demand jobs on the platform for this quarter are all related to the launch of new businesses. New logo, website and branding jobs. In fact, there were 75 extra logo design jobs posted each day last quarter, which could suggest the launch of 75 new businesses.” The data also shows an increase in Digital Marketing (up 12.8%, from 1,524 to 1,720) and Videography (up 14.2%, from 2,716 to 3,102) jobs which also suggests businesses are focusing more on their online marketing and content creation strategies to amplify their brands. Fastest Falling Jobs of Q1 2023 While design jobs dominated the fastest growing, the jobs that were in less demand in this quarter are related to tech, development and writing. Software Development, which was ranked as the fastest growing job in Q2 2022, began to decline this quarter and was down by 34.4% (from 2,001 to 1,311). Similarly, programming related jobs which were one of the fastest growing skills in Q4 2022 also declined this quarter by 20.9% (from 5,899 to 4,665). Demand for these types of jobs surged last year as many tech employees were laid off globally. However, the new data suggests demand is beginning to stabilize and return to pre-mass layoffs levels. Seasonality also plays into employers moving away from specific types of jobs quarter-to-quarter. Report Writing, Technical Writing, Research Writing and Business Plans were ranked as the fastest growing jobs in Q4 2022 as many employers traditionally turn to freelance support to help prepare end of year reports and 2023 plans. These types of jobs naturally reduce in the first quarter of the year. Fast 50 Q1 2023 - Data Analysis Startup Boom Fuels Creative Design Job Growth Historically, more businesses are started during a recession. Economic downturns have led to the creation of some of the world’s most well known brands, such as Microsoft, Uber and Burger King, just to name a few. Only a few years ago, the world witnessed this trend playing out as COVID sparked a startup boom, which saw a 24 percent increase in new business applications in the United States alone. According to the latest US Census Business Formation Statistics, the number of new business applications is beginning to grow in 2023 by an increase of 451,752, an increase of 4.5 percent compared to February 2023. Data from the latest Freelancer Fast 50 Index suggests there’s a sudden increase in the number of new businesses and startups being launched globally. The fastest growing skills, such as T-Shirt, Covers & Packaging, and Corporate Identity Design, as well as the growth of major jobs such as Logo Design, are all usually posted by founders at the starting point for a new business or venture. T-Shirt Design jobs, as an example, are growing as people hire freelancers to create t-shirts with their business logo as a way of promoting a brand or creating business uniforms. An uptick in Covers and Packaging Design jobs are the result of businesses turning to freelancers for new product labels and marketing brochures. Growth in website building jobs, such as Shopify (up 20.5%, from 2,302 to 2,775), Shopify Templates (up 16.1%, from 1,392 to 1,617) and eCommerce (up 15.5%, from 4,212 to 4,866), also support the rise of new businesses last quarter. Almost three quarters of the fastest growing jobs (72%) posted on Freelancer.com in the last quarter required skills in creative design or marketing. Serial entrepreneur Davuud Ghani, who recently founded Pivitt, a creative and branding support agency based in the United Kingdom, is just one example of how founders are turning to freelancers to support the growth of their business in 2023. “As a start-up, agility is our advantage over mature businesses with similar service offerings. It’s becoming easier for businesses to locate and leverage global talent, with platforms such as Freelancer.com. We are able to really finetune the skills needed on a project basis to drive excellence through our service offering to our partners, keeping us competitive in the market. That’s what our model is built from and has allowed us to secure partnerships with the likes of BMW & MINI,” said Davuud Ghani, founder of Pivitt. Generative AI Jobs Triple In Last Quarter Advancements in artificial intelligent and generative AI are impacting almost every faucet of business and creativity. Powerful AI tools, such as ChatGPT, Dall-E and Midjourney, are becoming smarter and more sophisticated by month, resulting in rapid leaps in capabilities and applications. In the first quarter of 2023, Open AI released GPT-4, introducing a more powerful and intelligent version of the application which could exhibit human level performance on several benchmarks. In the AI image generation space, research lab Midjourney also released the alpha iteration of its 5th version which allowed users to create photorealistic generations. Growing interest for AI is represented clearly in the Fast 50 Q1 2023 data which ranks jobs for Artificial Intelligence as the seventh fastest growing job on the platform, growing by 20.6% up to 1,252 jobs in total. Many projects posted in the first quarter aim to harness AI text generators or automate mass image generation, while some look for freelance experts who can help create their own AI models and applications. Generative AI skills (ChatGPT, Dall-E, Midjourney, Chatbots) grew the fastest over the quarter, recording a total percentage increase of 325% from 286 last quarter to 1,216 in Q1 2023. In total, there were 5,262 jobs requiring skills in AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, TensorFlow, ChatGPT and Dall-E. Digital Marketing & Content Creation Popularity of content marketing is growing amongst businesses. Major success stories, such as Netflix’s Drive to Survive series or Spotify’s Wrapped, are pushing businesses and marketers towards incorporating content marketing within their strategies. It’s a trend that was identified in the Fast 50 Q3 2022 Index and is continuing in Q1 2023. Videography (up 14.21%, from to 3,102), Digital Marketing (up 12.86% to 1,720), YouTube (up 11.30% to 1,576), and Video Production (up 10.25% to 5,401) were all in-demand skills last quarter. This finding suggests that businesses are increasingly focusing on online marketing and content creation strategies to reach their target audiences. While YouTube remains as the main platform people are turning to freelancers for support, employer interest in TikTok video creation is also growing, increasing by 25% in Q1 2023, from 405 projects in Q4 2022 to 507 total jobs Q1 2023. Product Design Jobs Apart from design projects specific to branding and new business ventures, the number of 3D Design, Product Design and general Design collectively grew over Q1 2023. ##### Freelancer Fast 50 The Freelancer Fast 50 index is the world’s largest forward indicator of trends in online jobs related to industries, technologies, products, and companies.
