Hypo Venture Capital Headlines: Outlook for global economy in 2012

http://www.free-press-release.com/news-hypo-venture-capital-headlines-outlook-for-global-economy-in-2012-1328540186.html

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
new york city, New York, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) February 6, 2012 -- We expect 2012 to be a year of slowing global growth, with wide divergences between regions and countries. Overall global growth will slow from about 3% in 2011 to 2.5% in 2012. For 2013, a modest recovery in global growth is likely.

The Euro-zone sovereign debt crisis will escalate, provoking a sufficiently strong policy response from the European Central Bank (ECB) and creditor governments to prevent Euro-zone disintegration and a string of disorderly sovereign debt defaults. Even so, sovereign spreads will remain unusually wide even at end-2012. The euro area already probably is falling back into recession, with negative quarter-over-quarter growth in fourth quarter of 2011 likely to carry over into 2012. Real GDP in the euro area will drop by at least 1% in 2012.
The United Kingdom is likely to be near recession, and we also look for a marked slowdown in Eastern Europe in 2012. By contrast, modest but sustained growth will occur in the United States in 2012 and beyond, and still relatively strong but slowing growth will take place in 2012 in emerging Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. In all, there will be sluggish growth in the advanced economies (around 1% yearover-year in 2012), with emerging market growth of about 5% for 2012.

As a result, the extent to which global growth is China-dependent will increase. The lagged effect of past domestic tightening and slowing export growth are likely to cool China’s growth below 9% in 2012.

Hypo Venture Capital Headlines: Waterproof technology for your mobile

http://hypoventurecapital-news.com/

One of the troubles that cell phone users is experiencing- when they accidently put their cell phone aside on the pocket of their jeans which end up in the wash or drop into a container having a liquid which caused for the cell phone to be ruined. Well, technology firm HzO could be about to come to your rescue.

The company has made a treatment that waterproofs every “nook and cranny” of your beloved phone by coating its innards with a “nano-thin film made up of highly effective, water-repelling properties.”According to Hypo Venture Capital Zurich Financial News, the technology was showcased at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this month, where a range of mobiles dealt with the Water block technology were given a public dunking. HzO asserts that the said treatment will be invisible so it will not mess the look of your sleek handset up, but will protect it should the worst happen as you are visiting the public loos. The technology will probably be of interest to a range of other providers. For instance, in creating headphones for swimmers, or for digital camera designers trying to fix the humidity malfunction that regularly strikes amateur photographers at the wrong moment.

It can also be applied to other technology slightly less prone to taking a dip, including iPods, tablets and even hearing aids. HzO is currently in talks with a number of manufacturers interested in the waterproofing technology.

Hypo Venture Capital Zurich Headlines: Solar Power Market by PV, CSP Technologies by Installations, Price, Cost, Trade Trends & Global Forecasts (2011 – 2016)

http://hypoventurecapital-headlines.com/

Solar energy is amongst the most reliable and clean energy resources, and proves to be a viable alternative to fossil fuels that are currently responsible for polluting the environment and contributing to global warming. Solar energy is generated through various technologies viz. solar PV, solar thermal, concentrated solar thermal/power, and concentrated PV.

In all the four technologies mentioned above, solar PV is the biggest market; followed by concentrated solar thermal (CSP/CST). In the last five years, solar PV registered 60% average annual growth rate and CSP achieved 8%. Currently, the market for solar PV is bigger than CSP; thanks to huge investment, research and development, initiatives taken by the governments, and a number of projects in the pipeline. However, CSP technologies are expected to grow at a faster rate in future as new markets such as China, India, Brazil,Canada, Germany, and France open up. During 2011 – 2016, the CSP market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 44.9% and the solar PV market by 29.9%. At the end of 2016, cumulative installed capacity of CSP and solar PV is expected to be 8.6 GW and 219 GW respectively.

http://hypoventurecapital-research.com/category/investment/

Switzerland-based insurer Zurich Financial Services Group has signed definitive agreements with Banco Santander to buy a majority interest in the bank’s Latin America insurance operations.

The insurer says the agreement is materially unchanged from what was announced on 22 February of this year.

Earlier, Zurich signed a 25-year strategic distribution agreement with Banco Santander where it would acquire 51% of the bank’s insurance business in Latin America and Santander would keep the remaining 49%.

Zurich will pay $1.67bn for its 51% participation in the insurance operations including the respective distribution agreements.

The alliance with Santander provides Zurich with access to over 5,600 bank branches and an additional 36 million customers in the region.

The two parties expect to close the transaction before the end of this year, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals.
