    Shell Eco-marathon celebrates 30th anniversary by sounding gong

    From 21 to 24 May 2015, Ahoy Rotterdam will host an event to showcase technology: Shell Eco-marathon, one of the world’s most challenging student competitions in innovation, technology and sustainability. The nail-biting contest between 220 student teams is all about who can drive the longest distance with a self-constructed vehicle on one litre of fuel. This year’s edition marks the 30th anniversary of the event. As in previous years, the contest will coincide with the Powering Progress Together (PPT) forum and the Shell Energy Lab.

    On 21 May, there will be a discussion entitled ‘The Technology Factor’ between representatives from the business community, education and government and, last but not least, young people themselves about the vital importance of education in technology for the future of the Netherlands. At the Shell Energy Lab (21-24 May) over 40,000 children aged 6 to 13 will together with their teacher or parents discover how diverse and exciting science and technology can be.

    Students of team H2A of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences sound the gong at the Amsterdam exchange. The team won in the prototype hydrogen category in 2014.

    Knab celebrated New York Celent Digital Bank Award by sounding gong

    Online bank Knab won the Celent Digital Bank Award 2015 in New York, because the bank is taking the lead in innovative digital banking. The online bank is the first Dutch bank to win this award. The international prize is awarded annually to banks that stand out in the effective use of technology in a specific field. The award is celebrated with sounding the gong by the co-founder of Knab, Marcel Kalse.

    Rene Frijters, founder and director of Knab, accepted the award in New York at a gathering with all the nominees: "We stand out in the Netherlands because of our totally different approach. But that we are seen internationally as a progressive bank is very special. Because 100% online banks are being set up around the world. And they put the banking sector in motion everywhere. It is nice to see that we, as a small player, are also internationally praised for our innovative approach. Knab does not operate from the idea 'technology first'. We want to make banking easier, smarter and more fun. And the technology makes this possible. "

    À semelhança do que tem acontecido nos últimos anos, a Euronext Lisbon junta-se às restantes localizações europeias do Grupo para comemorar o ‘World Wish Day’, através do toque do sino de encerramento da sessão de bolsa. A cerimónia de toque do sino conta com a presença da directora executiva da Fundação Realizar um Desejo, Mariana Carreira, e uma criança que já viu o seu desejo ser realizado. O primeiro desejo realizado pela Make-A-Wish ocorreu, nos EUA, quando um rapaz com leucemia, Chris Greicius, realizou o seu sonho: ser polícia por um dia. A Fundação Realizar um Desejo, filial da Make-a-Wish em Portugal, acredita que a concretização de um sonho a uma criança que luta corajosamente contra uma doença grave, lhe transmite uma mensagem positiva de esperança, de força e de alegria quando ela mais precisa.
