‫VinFast تتوسع عالميًا بفضل دعم شركتها الأم

هانوي، فيتنامMedia OutReach Newswire يوليو2024 24 – شركة VinFast الفيتنامية الناشئة المتخصصة في مجال تصنيع المركبات الكهربائية اتخذت خطوة جريئة ضد التيار السائد في هذا المجال ، وتمضي قدمًا في خططها الطموحة للتوسع العالمي. توقفت مؤخرًا شركات كبرى مثل شركة Apple عن سعيها الذي دام عقدًا من الزمن لتصنيع مركبات كهربائية، وقلصت شركات أخرى طموحاتها نحو ذلك، لكن VinFast واصلت سعيها لتحقيق هدفها، وأنشأت بالفعل أعمالًا  لها في الولايات المتحدة وكندا وجنوب شرق آسيا، وتضع الآن
نصب عينيها سوق الشرق الأوسط.

مصنع VinFast لتصنيع المركبات الكهربائية في هاي فونج

تستمد VinFast  ثقتها الراسخة من شركتها الأم، Vingroup، وهي أكبر تكتل شركات خاصة في فيتنام، ويرأس كلا الكيانين فام نات فونج، وهو أغنى رجل في فيتنام، واشتهر بقيادته الجريئة ونظرته الحكيمة. يتجلى إيمان فام الراسخ بازدهار مستقبل تصنيع المركبات الكهربائية في تصريح أدلاه مؤخرًا في اجتماع للمساهمين قائلًا: “ستستمر سوق المركبات الكهربائية في النمو وتتفوق على السيارات التي تعمل بالبنزين”.

تحت قيادة فونج، أصبحت مجموعة Vingroup قوة كبيرة في الاقتصاد الفيتنامي حيث إنها ساهمت بما يقرب من 1.6% في الناتج المحلي الإجمالي للبلاد لعام 2023، وهي تعمل في قطاعات مختلفة، بما في ذلك قطاعات صناعة التكنولوجيا والتجارة والخدمات والمؤسسات الاجتماعية، وتساهم جميع هذه القطاعات في نجاح  Vingroup، لكن قطاعي العقارات والمركبات الكهربائية كانا المصدرين الرئيسيين لإيرادات المجموعة في عام 2023 حيث تجاوزت إيراداتها 6.5 مليار دولار أمريكي إجماليًا.

انطلقت VinFast في مسيرتها بفضل دعم Vingroup  المالي القوي؛ فقد تلقت منذ إنشائها في عام 2017 ضخًا لمبالغ رأسمالية بقيمة 11.4 مليار دولار من Vingroup والشركات التابعة لها ومن فام نفسه، وقد مكّن هذا الدعم الكبير شركة VinFast من القيام باستثمارات كبيرة في مجالات البحث والتطويروقدرات التصنيع والتوسع العالمي. كما أن فام تعهد في شهر أبريل بتقديم مساهمة إضافية بمبلغ مليار دولار لشركة  VinFast من ثروته الشخصية، مما يدل بشكل أكبر على التزامه بنجاح شركة تصنيع السيارات.

تأسست شركة VinFast في عام 2017، وسرعان ما أنشأت مصنعها للمركبات بهاي فونج في عام 2019، محققة بذلك رقمًا قياسيًا عالميًا في سرعة البناء. أنتجت الشركة في البداية سيارات تعمل بالبنزين، ثم اتخذت خطوةً جريئةً وهي أن تجعل كل المركبات التي تنتجها كهربائية، وفاجأت القطاع بإنتاج أول مركبة كهربائية للعملاء في ديسمبر 2021.

بالإضافة إلى الدعم المالي، Vingroup تزود VinFast بنظام بيئي تكنولوجي شامل يمكّن الشركة المصنعة للمركبات الكهربائية من إنتاج مركبات ذكية وحديثة، ويتضمن هذا النظام البيئي شركات تابعة مثل VinBigData وVinAI، وكل منها متخصصة في مجالات تكنولوجية مختلفة، وقد أدت الجهود التعاونية المبذولة في هذا النظام البيئي إلى صنع ابتكارات مثل MirrorSense، وهي تقنية ضبط المرآة التلقائي المدعومة بالذكاء الاصطناعي، وViVi، وهو مساعد صوتي فيتنامي، وكلاهما يعزز تجربة القيادة لعملاء VinFast.

يعد التزام مجموعة Vingroup بالاستدامة عاملاً رئيسيًا آخر يساهم في نجاح  VinFast، وقد حصلت المجموعة مؤخرًا على جائزة قيمة من منصة الأعمال المبتكرة بمنظمة الآسيان للتقنيات الخاصة بالمسائل البيئية والاجتماعية والمتعلقة بإدارة الشركات في عام 2023، تقديرًا لريادتها في مجال التنمية المستدامة. النظام البيئي النظيف لـVingroup، والذي يتضمن ممارسات مستدامة وبنية تحتية للشحن وجهود للبحث والتطوير، يضع أساسًا متينًا لـ VinFast لتزدهر في سوق المركبات الكهربائية العالمية.

بالإضافة إلى أسواقها الحالية، تتطلع VinFast أن يكون الشرق الأوسط وجهتها التالية نظرًا لتزايد الطلب على المركبات الكهربائية هنا. أنشأت الشركة مقرًا إقليميًا في دبي وكونت شراكات استراتيجية مع تجار وموزعين محليين في دول مثل عمان والإمارات العربية المتحدة.

إن توسع VinFast المستمر، بفضل الدعم المالي والتكنولوجي الذي تقدمه  Vingroup لها، يميزها في مجال تصنيع المركبات الكهربائية التنافسي، والتزامها بالاستدامة والتطورات الأخيرة في الشرق الأوسط يبرز طموحها بأن تصبح شركة رائدة عالميًا في مجال التنقل الكهربائي، وهي بذلك تتحدى معايير المجال وتدفع تطور تصنيع المركبات الكهربائية إلى الأمام.

يواجه مجال تصنيع السيارات الكهربائية تحديات كبيرة لكن نهج VinFast الجريء، المدعوم بموارد Vingroup ورؤيتها، يهيئ لها استمرار التطور والنجاح في السوق العالمية.

Policymakers should recognise #SelfCareIsHealthcare in campaign bid to address global health challenges

Self-care is healthcare

Self-care is healthcare

  • Self-care describes the role of individuals in preventing disease, promoting and maintaining their mental and physical health, and actively participating in their healthcare
  • A wealth of evidence demonstrates the significant value of self-care to individuals, health systems, society and the economy
  • Despite this, self-care is not universally viewed or understood as a healthcare intervention and there is unequal access to self-care interventions around the world

GENEVA, July 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Global Self-Care Federation (GSCF) is urgently calling upon policymakers and health leaders worldwide to embrace self-care as an essential component of healthcare, by ensuring it is fully integrated into national health systems and policies, as part of this year’s International Self-Care Day on July 24.

The concept of self-care was first recognised by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1983. It describes the role of individuals in preventing disease, promoting and maintaining their mental and physical health, and actively participating in their healthcare. Examples of self-care practices include medicines, devices, diagnostics digital tools as well as healthy lifestyle choices.

As health systems worldwide continue to face a range of challenges – from increased demand on services, to inequity in access to healthcare – evidence shows that self-care can:

  • avert an estimated 3.9 million premature deaths each year, through physical activity alonei
  • save nearly $120 billion each year for global healthcare systems and, therefore, national economiesii
  • improve the autonomy and agency of disadvantaged groups, including women and girls, in managing their own healthiii
  • provide a legitimate tool in the pursuit of universal health coverageiv

Judy Stenmark, Director General of GSCF, said: “Right now, health systems around the world are struggling, long-term ill health is on the rise, health disparities are growing and the impact of COVID-19 is still being felt. Addressing these requires new approaches and strategies, including evidence-based self-care – to achieve sustainable health services fit for the future.

“Our ‘Self-care is healthcare’ campaign is all about fuelling the movement for self-care to be recognised as an integral part of healthcare. It aims to drive greater awareness and recognition of the potential of self-care to people and policymakers across the world. At GSCF, we firmly believe that everyone benefits when there is a greater choice of healthcare options and more accessible entries to care.”

Building on this year’s International Self-Care Day, GSCF is urging members and campaigners to rally behind the #SelfCareIs movement. This initiative aims to educate global audiences about the critical link between self-care and healthcare. It also encourages engagement with local policymakers and healthcare providers to call on them to put in place plans for the urgent integration of self-care into the healthcare delivery continuum.
