SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — AviaGames, creator of the award-winning “Bingo Tour” app and Pocket7Games social competition platform, today unveiled its new corporate brand identity, Avia (ah-vi-ah). The evolution to the new Avia brand identity underscores the company’s…
“INGENIO’s products greatly complement DPI Labs’ cabin systems. Our goal has always been to offer passengers a positive flying experience that stimulates all their senses, whether through cabin lighting, 4k video solutions, theater-quality audio, or intuitive cabin control,” said Vicki Brown, CEO of DPI Labs. “INGENIO adds even more comfort and convenience to the passenger experience with elegant tablet arms, the very latest in USB charging port technology, and Bluetooth® audio. We are delighted to be able to offer them as part of our solutions now.”
Brown explained that equally as crucial as enhancing passenger experience is developing cabin systems that can stand the test of time or be upgraded and serviced well into the future. “DPI Labs still services, supports, and upgrades our systems from as far back as three decades,” said Brown. “The systems we design and sell today not only include the latest audio-video technology such as Dolby Atmos™ and 4k video distribution and cabin displays, but they have built-in measures to ensure upgradeability in the future. INGENIO Aerospace shares this vision of future-proofing aircraft cabins.”
“INGENIO is approved by Apple™ for both MFi development and manufacturing of electronic accessories,” said James Bell, President and CEO of INGENIO. “When we design USB charging products and portable electronic device arms for aircraft cabins, we are not only looking at the consumer technology available today; we commit to developing for the future.”
Bell noted the recent unveiling of the new Apple iPhone 15 Pro, which uses USB-C technology to charge, as a game changer for consumers, but even more so for the aviation industry. “The fragmented connector market has inconvenienced consumers. However, it’s been a high-cost issue in aviation, where products have been engineered, certified, and installed only to become obsolete in a few years,” says Bell. “The aircraft cabin can now be a completely USB-C-friendly environment, which allows us to fearlessly develop to the technology’s full potential, including high-speed data transfer, audio and video distribution, and increased power output. DPI Labs’ forward-looking approach to designing cabin management, lighting, and entertainment systems is an excellent fit with our strategy, and we’re excited to be working with them.”
Attendees of this year’s NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas can see INGENIO’s products installed in DPI Lab’s demonstration van at booth C12917 in the central hall. The vehicle is provisioned with DPI Labs’ SmartLink™ Cabin Management system, LED Lighting, 32″ display, Dolby Atmos™ theatrical sound system, and INGENIO’s Nano™ USB chargers, as well as two models (Premium and Standard Cabin Tablet Arms) of PED tablet holders.

This dream is now becoming a reality as the 18-year-old Italian joins after an impressive 2023 season in the junior ranks with four podiums, numerous top ten finishes, and a stunning victory at the recent Trofeo Alba Rosa.
“It’s fantastic that we are able to sign a talent as promising as Alessandro at the same time as agreeing a three-year extension to our successful partnership with Novo Nordisk,” said General Manager Vassili Davidenko. “We are showing our intent to continue to develop and invest in talent for the future of Team Novo Nordisk and everyone out there living with diabetes.”
“Our trajectory throughout this season has been centered around the budding relationships between our experienced leaders like Andrea Peron and our exceptional young talents like Matyas Kopecky and Filippo Ridolfo. Alessandro fits right in here and our aim is to be able to provide him with the same environment to grow and develop that we do with all our riders.”
After impressing during a trip to the team’s annual Talent ID camp in Tuscany back in July and more positive results following in August and September races, the young Italian is excited to be joining the pro ranks.
“This a dream come true for me in every sense,” began Perracchione. “Becoming a professional rider with Team Novo Nordisk has been my goal since I was eight years old and to achieve this ten years later is truly an incredible feeling.”
“Moving from the junior ranks to racing with and against top professionals will be a big step up and I see it as one chapter ending and another one beginning. I’m ready to take the next step in my development and I have big dreams that I hope to realize as a professional cyclist and I know that it will take a lot of hard work and dedication.”

Top Fintech Trends for 2024
#1 AI and ML
“I haven’t seen a single pitch in the last three months without AI or ML,” says fintech banker Dushyant “D” Shahrawat, Director of Strategic Insights & Advisory at Rosenblatt Securities. He insists that rather than just leading on with buzzwords, it is essential that businesses focus on the value they derive and offer to their customers.
With the stunning pace at which AI is taking over operations across industries, its adoption in fintech has become a business imperative. AI technologies are already utilised for marketing and customer analytics and are expected to guide further business decisions going forward.
Generative and prescriptive ML-based analytics will assist in addressing customer grievances, setting financial goals and providing advice on adequate planning to meet these goals. Predictive analytics, leveraging neural networks, will facilitate credit-decisioning and preparing for upcoming industry demands. WellTech, a fusion of wellness and technology to empower users for financial planning in sync with their overall wellness, including financial soundness, is another trend taking shape.
AI-powered cybersecurity and hyperpersonalisation services are also set to transform the fintech ecosystem.
#2 Blockchain and Cryptos
Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are nothing new. But their integration into the fintech space will be. The most significant drivers of the adoption of digital currencies are escalating costs and recurrent failures in the traditional financial ecosystem. “As we look ahead to 2024 and beyond, a significant trend is a need for safer, more reliable banking alternatives,” says Uldis Teraudkalns, CEO of payment provider Nexpay. Teraudkalns also emphasises the need to instil resilience in the financial space.
The ability of blockchain to effectively secure decentralised and immutable digital ledgers has enticed the financial industry for over a decade. Now, governments and central banks are exploring CBDCs (central bank digital currencies) to digitise national currencies. This is an attempt to not only keep the financial ecosystem stable, but to assert control amid the increased adoption of cryptocurrencies. This enhanced payment infrastructure is expected to bolster the valuation and demand for fintech companies.
To maximise nascent technology, pioneering solutions will materialise to preserve user privacy, standardise protocols industry-wide, ensure scalability, and frame a clearer global regulatory framework. The EU’s MiCA regulation is a first step in this regard.
While cryptos form the primary component of decentralised finance (DeFi), fintech firms are experimenting to make it more mainstream by expanding their services beyond the digital currency landscape. NFTs, P2P transaction protocols and Web 3-ready infrastructure are propelling the DeFi industry towards greater adoption, enhancing brand value and bolstering customer trust.
Remember: Only 19% of millennials perceive themselves as financially literate. Your fintech marketing strategy for 2024 should focus on consumer-friendly education.
#3 Open Banking
According to Helen Child, Founder of Open Banking Excellence, the explosive rate of open banking adoption correlates with the perception of it being “suitable for a diverse set of use cases” across the financial industry. The UK has developed, and set, a benchmark for open banking implementation with OBIE. The framework is expected to serve as a guideline for nations across the world to follow suit and enable open banking.
Effortless third-party integrations using APIs have made space for open banking, making customer data accessible to third-party providers securely. Open finance has made the ecosystem more transparent and is driving innovation in the competitive fintech marketplace. The segment has created a trillion-dollar growth opportunity for fintech firms as it presents individuals and businesses with the opportunity to gain control over all aspects of their financial lives. This includes savings, investments, loans, pensions and mortgages.
The synergy of diverse providers in the financial ecosystem is a route to bridge gaps between the banked and unbanked, making financial services more accessible and affordable.
#4 InsurTech
Insurtech platforms are digitising insurance processes from application to claim using NLP and RPA. The proliferation of digital currencies and the metaverse may further help insurtech penetrate the digital economy realm as well. The adoption of deep analytics and embedded financial services has taken the shape of real-time digital bundling, bite-sized insurance, sachet covers and embedded insurance to give rise to insurtech. As a result, the industry is projected to expand with a whopping CAGR of 52.7% from 2023 to 2030.
#5 RegTech
Propelled by strengthened regulatory oversight, enhanced customer awareness and a snowballing of cyberattacks, regulatory technology is gaining ground in the financial ecosystem. Advanced security protocols and technologies are set to be adopted to automate compliance and monitoring, ensure data privacy and transaction security, while minimising the risk of breaches, non-compliance and reporting.
Biometrics, quantum cryptography, and other advanced technologies will be leveraged to ensure security. While AI and ML algorithms evolve to enhance prediction, prevention and detection, cybersafety measures will transform security into a proactive approach using vulnerability assessment and preparing for incidence mitigation.
“For the financial sector, investment priorities appear to be in risk management and the use of AI. Inadequate governance, management practices and audit failures are often the cause of failures. Having the appropriate systems and software in place to ensure compliance will be important in 2024,” says Ben Dorks, CEO of software solution provider Ideagen.
#6 Alternative-Lending
Financial inclusion is considered the next phase of growth for the financial industry, providing access to underserved segments. Fuelled by AI and blockchain, the industry is projected to reach $30.16 billion by 2033.
Peer-to-peer lending, crowd funding and digital lending marketplaces will facilitate instant loans, better assessment of creditworthiness and flexible interest rates for retail and institutional borrowers. The sometimes controversial BNPL model will penetrate further and be refined into a more customisable option for instant, bite-sized loans. Technology will serve as a medium of effective underwriting, risk evaluation and management in the intermediary-free, open banking-powered lending ecosystem.
Remember: Fintechs are increasingly embracing CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). “Organizations that are not aligned with millennial and Gen-Z values, risk losing favor with this large and increasingly influential cohort,” says Michele Parmelee, Deloitte Global Deputy CEO and Chief People & Purpose Officer at Forbes.
#7 Customer Centric Finance
One of the most prominent trends for 2024 is bolstering customer engagement with innovative tech. For instance, Entroq Technologies enabled a Gamified Investment Learning platform. In fact, some experts believe that fintechs might introduce NLP-powered voice-to-text features for conversational banking and voice-enabled payments for elevated customer experiences. Plus, AR/VR integrations will expand to make virtual experiential transactions a reality.

“The US charter market is highly competitive. Seconds matter” says Greg Johnson President/CEO of Tuvoli. “Giving an operator’s customers the ability to confirm trips from anywhere with a few taps on their phone improves close rates, which in turn increases top line sales.”
Tuvoli’s digital checkout experience has been available through its charter CRM and sales pipeline management solution since 2021. The Tuvoli checkout process has been fine-tuned through hundreds of millions of dollars in charter bookings and a great deal of customer feedback.
The benefit of this partnership is the ability to deliver a best-in-class checkout experience to charter customers without disrupting the existing, familiar quote workflow for the charter operator. Card capture is PCI compliant, using tokens and a third-party vault, eliminating the common but highly insecure practice of texting or emailing photos of credit cards.
There are no limits on the size of a transaction, total transaction volume or the number of card authorizations (holds) that an operator can process through Tuvoli. Tuvoli’s FDIC insured banking platform has custom tools that aid in matching inbound wires to trips while notifying sales that payment has been received. When a wire is matched with a trip, the system checks for any outstanding holds and will ask the user if that authorization should be released.
Tuvoli’s payment engine makes it easy to send wires, ACH payments, and even paper checks to vendors. When the other party also has an account with Tuvoli, payments are instant and available 24/7/365 (like a business aviation version of Venmo).
“We know that the charter market in America is unique” said Paolo Sommarivia, CEO and co-founder of FL3XX. “Integrating Tuvoli’s digital checkout experience, which has been tailor-made for this market, is a smart move for FL3XX and our growing US customer base.”
The teams at FL3XX and Tuvoli are actively engaged in the integration, with plans for a Q1 2024 release to the market.
Tuvoli’s merchant processing works as a stand-alone product as well, so operators can start benefitting from many of the features while integration is underway.
Both FL3XX and Tuvoli are in Las Vegas this week at the NBAA convention. To see how FL3XX scheduling and Tuvoli checkout work nulltogether, drop by Tuvoli at booth C6821 and/or FL3XX at booth N2325.
Tuvoli is private aviation’s financial technology leader. The Tuvoli digital contract and checkout experience increases customer’s sales conversion rates while reducing the administrative burden on sales teams. Tuvoli’s FDIC insured banking platform delivers instant 24/7 payments, intuitive wire transfer features, and tools that streamline matching wires to trips. Tuvoli’s FlyEasy marketplace delivers new sales leads for charter aircraft and Tuvoli’s Everest Fuel business delivers credit for aviation purchases with powerful savings on jet fuel. Together, Tuvoli delivers technology solutions that improve the bottom line for its customer’s.

“Our goal has been to reduce friction in the booking process,” says Greg Johnson President/CEO of Tuvoli. “Giving an operator’s customers the ability to confirm a trip in seconds from anywhere has a direct impact on sales for that operator. They close more deals with less work.”
The beauty in this integration is the significant improvement in the experience for the end-customer without disrupting the existing, familiar quote workflow for the charter operator. Security is also increased since card data is tokenized as it is received and is stored securely for future use.
There are no limits on the size of a transaction, total transaction volume or the number of card authorizations (holds) that an operator can process through Tuvoli. Tuvoli’s FDIC insured banking platform has custom tools that aid in matching inbound wires to trips while notifying sales that payment has been received and releasing a credit card hold if one was tied to the transaction.
Tuvoli’s payment engine makes it easy to send wires, ACH payments, and even paper checks to vendors. When the other party also has an account with Tuvoli, payments are instant and available 24/7/365 (like a business aviation version of Venmo).
“Extending the capabilities of Portside’s offering through strategic partnerships that deliver real value has always been our goal. This integration adds to the many tools and capabilities already included in BART and our other scheduling solutions.” said Alek Vernitsky, CEO of Portside. “We are excited to work with Tuvoli to make it easier and safer for our customers to confirm trips and capture payment.”

Over 350 organizations use Optimy to manage more than 1.5M CSR projects in 22 languages across 25 countries, including companies and foundations such as BNP Paribas, Airbus, Ford, Grameen Foundation, Boralex Inc., Capital Power, Viterra Canada Inc., Epcor Utilities Inc. and many more.
Optimy is committed to helping organizations become a force for good. With no transaction fees (above standard payment processing fees) for donations, Optimy is helping businesses to maximize donations, in order to support non-for-profit organizations across the globe. On top of this, Optimy will not increase customer charges based on the number of volunteers, as well as covering their cost to support increased participation, aiding customers in promoting their volunteering and philanthropic efforts to maximize their social impact.
Kenneth Bérard, Founder and CEO at Optimy, commented: “Nowadays, many companies are launching employee engagement programs within their organizations as part of their CSR policy. Although these programs are well received, there are still some barriers to their success, given that average participation rates tend to be low. This reduces the positive impact such initiatives could have on all stakeholders. Ultimately, companies invest in volunteering or donations programs because they help them retain top employees while also having a positive impact on society. But the figures speak for themselves: employee participation rates remain fairly low to date and something needs to change.
We’re proud to be launching the final phase of our social impact solution and we’re confident that the Donations tool will help to bring greater transparency to the industry, unlocking an array of benefits to our international customers. We don’t believe in making a profit from donations that are supposed to help important causes. Therefore, we will not charge a transaction fee above standard payment processing fees for donations made through Optimy. We want as much money as possible to contribute to making a positive difference on a global scale. We look forward to seeing this unfold with the help of our technology.”
Employee Donations will strengthen Optimy’s Employee Engagement offering, adding a strong feature set including matching gifts, where organizations make a donation to match their employees’ charitable efforts to its existing set of engagement or activation capabilities.
Robyn Schomme, Senior Advisor of Community Investment at EPCOR added: “We would refer Optimy to anyone who is looking for a great way to organize and streamline their community investment activities. Our team now has a much easier time managing corporate giving activities with Optimy’s system and customer service support.”
Paige Gignac, Community Investment Specialist at K+S Potash Canada also added: “K+S Potash Canada (K+S) is committed to being a good neighbour. Through community investment, we seek to positively impact the lives of young people, build relationships that align with our company values, encourage volunteerism, and create a company culture of giving back. The Optimy platform allows us to engage with community partners through the online application process seamlessly embedded right into our website. We use Optimy to manage all aspects of our community investment partnership journey including tools such as budget tracking, messaging and document storage that help track the history of our partnerships year over year. The platform’s automation features also allow us to build capacity among our small team, allowing us to focus more on building relationships rather than administrative tasks. The customization of the platform also allows us to facilitate our Volunteer Plus program, which allows our employees to volunteer their time and then apply for a donation on behalf of K+S to that organization.”
She continued, “We are pleased with the ongoing customer support we receive from the team at Optimy, they listen to our needs and look for solutions that will make our partnership journey better. The platform is easy to use and there are many learning tools that we utilize to further our own understanding of the platform to ensure we are using it to the greatest capacity. I would recommend the platform to organizations looking for tools to manage their CSR or community relations work.”
