Thor Group Launches Mocasa Online P2P Investment Platform in Europe

TALINN, Estonia, Sept. 1: Thor Group, a Singapore-based internet services provider, has officially launched Mocasa, a high-yield online alternative investment platform. Operating out of Estonia, Mocasa connects European investors with thousands of opportunities in fast-developing markets - enabling them to gain high fixed interest rates plus bonuses by investing in these opportunities. Using Mocasa, European investors can earn high annual return, plus up to 1 per cent in bonuses, by investing in listed alternative assets including consumer loans and commercial loans. In addition, the platform has announced it will open up further investment opportunities in corporate debt and private equity in the future. "Credit markets and startup projects in Asia need capital and can provide excellent returns. Mocasa connects European investors with these exciting new investment opportunities while offering a low barrier to entry, high interest rate and 100% buyback guarantee," said Robin Wong, VP of Thor Group. European investors typically receive an annualized return between one and five per cent for low- to medium-risk asset categories. Investing in stocks may deliver a higher return during certain periods; however, the risks are much higher and the market movements can be extremely volatile. Mocasa is an ideal alternative for individuals and small companies looking to manage their cash and gain more passive income. In addition to high yields and bonuses, Mocasa guarantees repayment through its cooperation partners. These cooperation partners also cover the costs of operating the platform, which means services are completely free of charge for investors. Fast and easy to start up, European investors can get up and running on the platform with as little as 10 EUR and exit at any time to gain accrued interest. Mocasa is now offering 5000 EUR trial funds for new investors, with 100 per cent of interest generated belonging to the user. To get started, visit www.mocasa.eu About Thor Group Mocasa is affiliated with Thor Group, a Singapore-based Internet services group. Thor Group's product lines span four sectors: finance, online gaming, social network, and e-commerce. Thor Group yielded positive earnings from the fourth quarter of 2020 and has strong financial performance. Thor Group has received USD 100 million in investment from a number of established institutional investors, including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Rakuten Ventures, JAFCO Asia and Gobi Partners.

Volvo Group Venture Capital welcomes Foretellix, a pioneer in automated vehicle verification and validation

GÖTEBORG, Sweden, Sept. 1: Volvo Group Venture Capital AB has announced a new investment in a leading company in the field of measurable safety for driver assistance and autonomous vehicles. Foretellix Ltd was founded in 2018 by a team of verification and validation pioneers whose mission is to make automated driving systems safe and efficient. One of the main challenges of autonomous systems is deciding when a product is safe enough to commercialize. This is what Foretellix is tackling with its verification platform. It uses intelligent automation and big data analytics tools which coordinate and monitor millions of driving scenarios to ensure that the autonomous vehicle behaves correctly under all possible driving conditions, including edge cases. In addition to the Volvo Group Venture Capital investment, Volvo Autonomous Solutions formed a closer partnership with Foretellix earlier this year with the aim of jointly creating a coverage-driven verification solution for autonomous driving that operates both on public roads and in restricted areas. "Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Foretellix entered into a partnership in March this year. We clearly understand the ongoing progress and the benefits of working with the Foretellix team and their verification platform. Based on our experience, Volvo decided to invest in Foretellix as well," says Nils Jaeger, President and head of Volvo Autonomous Solutions. "The team is very experienced and the solution is attractive to a vehicle manufacturer like Volvo. We think that the Foretellix business model and technology will play a part in future mobility. Foretellix can provide the Volvo Group with further insights into safe autonomous driving," says David Hanngren, Investment Director Volvo Group Venture Capital. "The investment from Volvo Group Venture Capital further strengthens our partnership with the Volvo Group and will help Foretellix to continue accelerating the safe deployment of increasingly advanced automated driving systems," says Ziv Binyamini, CEO and co-founder of Foretellix. The role of Volvo Group Venture Capital is to make investments that drive transformation by facilitating the creation of new services and solutions and to support collaborations between start-ups and the Volvo Group. Against the background of the trends shaping the future of transportation and the strategic priorities of the Volvo Group, the key areas of investment for Volvo Group Venture Capital are logistics services, site solutions and electrical infrastructure. The organisation has a global scope and focuses on Europe and North America. The transaction has no significant impact on the Volvo Group's earnings or financial position.
