In the Information Age, Data Becomes a New Factor of Productivity

In economics, factors of production, also known as production inputs, are essential resources for the production of goods and services. In his epochal work “Principles of Economics”, famous British economist Marshall put forward the theory of four factors of production — land, labor, capital and entrepreneurial talent. National income (NI) is the reward of four factors, and that is, national income (NI) = labor wage (w) + land rent (r) + capital interest (i) + operating profit (π). This “four-in-one formula” sums up the core of western economic production theory and distribution theory, which has been widely accepted for more than a century.

However, factors of production are a historical category that evolves with the development of economy and society. The birth and development of the Internet has changed the mode of production, life and consumption, and it promoted many important and profound changes, and played an increasingly important role in economic development, social life and national governance. The full exploitation and effective utilization of all kinds of data has raised production efficiency to an unprecedented level. Data has become an indispensable factor in economic activities and a new generation of production factors after land, energy, population and food.

Privacy Brings Data Dilemma and MPC Realizes Data Collaborative Computing

Nowadays, people have already extended their social activities to the network space. Every day, people contribute data continuously to the network space. A large amount of data is collected, calculated, analyzed, excavated and this goes beyond the original data level of information value.

However, because of the plain text nature of the data, the owner loses ownership of the data once the data is granted to others for use. Therefore, to ensure the privacy protection of data, a huge amount of data managed by enterprises cannot be exchanged and co-calculated with the data held by other enterprises, which is why a large number of data cannot generate value.

The emergence of privacy computing ends this dilemma. Yao Qizhi, a member of the Chinese National Academy of Sciences, proposed secure multi-party computing (MPC) in 1982. In a nutshell, participants have to enter information to calculate an agreed function. In addition to the accuracy of the calculations, they must also protect the privacy of each participant’s input data. Specifically, there are now n participants, each of whom, xi, is aware of the xi they entered, who together calculate a pre-agreed function f (x1 ,…, xn) = y. In this way, all participants will get the final y value, but they will not be able to know the specific data entered by the other participants. Thus, with local data not aggregated and privacy not divulged, each party can still achieve a common desired result by performing the operations of the given logic.

Privacy computing opens up huge business prospects for the digital world (Crypto Space)

Bitcoin’s pioneering combination of virtual currencies and peer-to-peer payment systems open the door to decentralization. With the introduction of intelligent contract function, Ethernet has greatly improved the scalability of blockchain, and all kinds of applications can be deployed on blockchain. Because of these characteristics, early public blockchain networks such as Bitcoin and Ethernet have been developed, attracting a large number of blockchain and encryption enthusiasts in the world, and many traditional institutions have been entering the area of blockchain, exploring various possibilities of decentralization.

The combination of privacy computing and blockchain is expected to put data ownership back in the hands of data producers, meaning that vast amounts of data can be counted without affecting privacy and ownership, so that the owners can profit and data can burst out with greater value. Therefore, the blockchain project based on privacy calculation is naturally suitable for the commercial practice in the fields of financial, medical, scientific research, government affairs, and logistics and so on.

“Operator” PlatON network for blockchain data

PlatON, the representative project of the combination of privacy computing and blockchain currently, is based on the basic attribute of blockchain and is supported by privacy computing network, and provides the next generation Internet infrastructure protocol with the core characteristics of “computing interoperation”. PlatON’s vision is to become the public infrastructure for privacy computing of the next generation, publishing privacy computing algorithms through contracts, and implementing MPC protocols with data providers and computing nodes for privacy protection requirements, so as to realize cooperative computing of data. PlatON, designed to price data flows, is all about computing and data, which is the most fundamental part of future human production. PlatON can achieve large-scale application landing and commercial scenario implementation:

For example:

I. Build a wider credit collection network. The public chain that provides private computing can provide user with customizable computing logic template and multi-party access mode, and in the case that the access party’s data does not need to be collected and shared, only the credit inquiry results are output to the demander, and the original data can be encrypted and stored in the blockchain system to meet all kinds of audit needs.

II. Supply chain financial infrastructure. The public chain of private computing is based on blockchain technology and cryptography algorithm, which can provide a platform solution for supply chain finance to digitally identify, process and transfer assets. Construct a new financial financing model of supply chain in which the information of the upstream and downstream enterprises can be shared symmetrically, the credit value of the core enterprises can be transmitted, the business tickets can be split and the risk can be controlled, and provide convenient data traceability for the supervision and enhance the service efficiency of the industry as a whole.

To build the public infrastructure for the digital age, PlatON continuously optimizes technology, iterates the underlying infrastructure, and breaks through the “impossible triangle” in terms of performance. “Impossible triangle” means that it is difficult to achieve both a good “decentralization” and a good “security” of the system in a blockchain and a high “transaction processing performance” at the same time. The most well-known blockchain projects in the industry are Bitcoin, Ethernet, and EOS. At present, using native Token transfer performance test method and EOS under the same testing conditions, PlatON has achieved a comprehensive performance leader in the quasi-real environment, and will continue to focus on the data field and accelerate the construction of data market.

MiniCabRide Simplifies Winter Travel with Fixed-Fare UK Airport & Long Distance Transfers

Published

November 4, 2026

By

MiniCabRide is promoting its 24-7 pre-booked airport, seaport and long-distance transfer services ahead of the busy winter and festive travel season. As a TfL-licensed private hire operator, the company offers fixed fares with no surge pricing, professional licensed drivers, flight monitoring, meet-and-greet services, and a wide range of vehicles. With more than 500 vehicles and driver partners, MiniCabRide serves passengers across London and the UK while expanding its electric vehicle fleet, with an ambition to transition to an all-electric fleet by 2030. TfL-licensed private hire operator offering 24-7 pre-booking, no surge pricing and a rapidly expanding electric fleet as the festive travel season kicks in.

London, United Kingdom, 4th Nov 2026 – MiniCabRide LTD (a TfL-licensed private hire operator) are today promoting their pre-booked airport, seaport and long-distance minicab services for travellers throughout London and the UK. With the winter rush around the corner, they are urging customers to book in advance and lock in a fixed fare before demand increases.

MiniCabRide Simplifies Winter Travel with Fixed-Fare UK Airport & Long Distance Transfers

From half-term and Christmas getaways to business trips, cruise departures, and other festive events, winter is one of the UK’s busiest travel periods of the year. MiniCabRide gives customers a reliable alternative to the chaos of unpredictable pricing and last-minute searches. You get a guaranteed price, a licensed driver, and a vehicle sized for your group, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Fixed, Transparent Fares With No Surge Pricing

Price uncertainty is the biggest complaint passengers have when booking private transport. MiniCabRide deals with this head-on with a fixed fare. You get a firm quote before booking, so you know exactly what your journey will cost. There is no surge pricing applied by MiniCabRide, so the price you are quoted for your journey is not going to go up during periods of high demand, in the rain or at peak times.

The fare displayed for a journey will be dependent on the pickup address, destination, vehicle type and any additional requirements (e.g. extra luggage space, child seats on Request). You can view your quote online or in the booking app prior to booking.

“Travelling should be one less thing to worry about, especially during the busiest weeks of the year,” said Kevin Obrian, Media Manager of MiniCabRide. “Our customers tell us they value knowing the price upfront and knowing their driver will be there on time. That is what we aim to deliver on every booking.”

Reliable Airport and Seaport Transfers

Airport and seaport journeys are central to MiniCabRide’s service. The company provides pre-booked transfers to and from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, and London City airports, as well as major railway stations and cruise terminals, including Southampton, Portsmouth, Dover, and Tilbury.

For arrivals, customers can provide their flight details at the time of booking so the driver can monitor any changes to the landing time. Meet and greet is available for those who prefer to be met at a pre-agreed point in the terminal, and drivers will assist with luggage at both ends of the journey. For cruise passengers, the company can arrange pickups to suit embarkation and disembarkation times and can use vehicles with space for the larger bags that are generally carried on longer holidays.

MiniCabRide also takes passengers from the stations (King’s Cross, St Pancras International, Euston, Paddington and Victoria), so visitors can get to their final destination directly without changing transport.

Long-Distance Journeys Across the UK

Beyond London, MiniCabRide provides long-distance private transfers all over the UK. The main routes are, of course, London to Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton, Bath, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, as well as various seaside destinations, university towns, and regional airports.

Long-distance bookings suit a wide range of passengers, including families visiting relatives, groups attending weddings and events, golfers heading to championship courses, students moving to or from university, and business travellers who need to work or rest on the way to an appointment. Because each fare is quoted individually, customers can compare vehicle options and choose the arrangement that best fits their group and budget.

A Fleet for Every Type of Journey

MiniCabRide’s fleet includes standard saloon cars for one or two passengers, estates for those with more luggage, MPVs for families, and executive cars for business trips and special occasions. Multi-passenger vehicles (6- and 8-seater) are also available for larger groups.

Customers can request child and baby seats, and are encouraged to mention any special requirements when booking so the right vehicle can be arranged in advance. Every journey is driven by a fully licensed professional driver, with an emphasis on punctuality, customer care, and helpful luggage assistance.

Licensed, Experienced and Customer-Focused

Founded in 2020, MiniCabRide LTD is a licensed TfL-approved Private Hire Operator based in London (licence number 011021). It is one of the larger private hire minicab companies in the city with over 500 vehicles and driver partners.

Customers should check that any private hire booking is via a licensed operator, that the driver has valid ID and that the vehicle has the correct licence. Booking in advance via a licensed operator rather than hailing an unbooked car is still the safest way to use a minicab in London.

Customer feedback is central to the company’s approach. They have many customer reviews across public platforms and currently hold a 4.7 rating on both Google and Trustpilot.

Easy Booking, Live Tracking and 24-7 Support

MiniCabRide offers online and app-based booking, allowing customers to compare vehicles, receive a quotation and confirm a journey within minutes. Real-time vehicle tracking lets passengers follow their driver’s progress, while confirmation messages provide the details they need before travel day.

A dedicated customer support team is on hand 24-7 to help with booking changes, special requests, or queries. For more frequent travellers, we offer business accounts that bring multiple journeys together on one platform, with consolidated invoicing and priority booking. These are designed for companies, event organisers and corporate travel managers.

Preparing for the Festive Season

The weeks around Christmas and the New Year see some of the year’s peak demand for transport. Airport departures peak in the days leading up to Christmas; there’s a massive influx of shoppers and tourists into central London for seasonal events and attractions, and, of course, long-distance trips to visit family and friends.

MiniCabRide advises customers to:

  • Book early for airport and station journeys, particularly on busy weekends and the days around Christmas
  • Provide complete details, including flight numbers, terminals, passenger numbers and luggage, so the right vehicle can be assigned
  • Allow extra time for events, road closures and busy shopping areas in central London
  • Request child seats and larger vehicles when making the booking, rather than on the day
  • Plan return journeys at the same time, so both trips are confirmed in advance

“Early booking gives the customer the most choice and the most peace of mind,” added Kevin Obrian. “If you know your dates, then it is definitely worth booking your transfer as early as you can.”

Moving Towards a Greener Fleet

MiniCabRide is focused on minimising the environmental impact of private hire travel. They’ve started introducing EVs into the fleet and aim to be an all-electric company by 2030. They’re also looking at autonomous vehicle options from 2035 as the technology and the regulatory environment develop.

“Cleaner air in our cities matters to our customers, our drivers and the communities we serve,” said Kevin Obrian. “Moving to an electric fleet is a long-term commitment, and we will keep expanding our electric options as charging infrastructure and vehicle choice continue to improve.”

Customers who want to travel in an electric vehicle are encouraged to ask about availability when they book.

How to Book

Passengers can book a MiniCabRide transfer online at minicabride.com, through the MiniCabRide mobile app, or by contacting the customer support team by phone at 0044 207 005 0090 or by email . Customers enter their pickup point, destination, date, time and passenger numbers to receive an instant fixed-fare quotation and select the vehicle that meets their needs.

Press Release

Beyond the $40 Billion RWA Headline: Drofa Comms × RWA Summit Report Identifies Four Challenges for 2027

Published

14 hours ago

on

November 3, 2026

By

London, The United Kingdom, November 3rd, 2026, FinanceWire

The value of distributed tokenised real-world assets (RWAs) approached $40 billion by 13 October 2026, according to RWA.xyz. At the beginning of the year, though, it stood at approximately $21.5 billion, according to Binance Research. Yet, despite this near-doubling in value, the figures say little about how easily investors can trade these assets, use them as collateral or exercise their rights in cross-border transactions.

This divergence between issuance and real-world use is the outset for “Tokenise First, Figure It Out Later: The RWA Dilemma”, a new report from Drofa Comms in collaboration with RWA WEEK, organiser of RWA Summit Singapore 2026. Drawing on discussions at the 9 October summit, where Drofa Comms participated as a media partner of RWA WEEK, the report examines what it takes for tokenised assets to develop functioning markets, meet legal requirements and deliver measurable financial benefits.

Looking ahead to 2027, Drofa Comms identifies four indicators that offer a more useful measure of RWA market maturity than the total value of assets issued on-chain:

  • Secondary-market activity: Trading depth and turnover, alongside realistic opportunities for investors to sell tokens after issuance.
  • Institutional capital efficiency: Measurable reductions in pre-funding requirements and the ability to use tokenised holdings as collateral.
  • Legal certainty: Enforceable ownership and redemption rights, including workable arrangements for cross-border transactions.
  • Commercial sustainability: Repeat customer activity and revenues sufficient to support viable services.

The report scrutinises how regulatory requirements differ between jurisdictions, what it takes to develop genuine secondary markets and how tokenised assets may function as collateral. It also examines institutional and everyday payments, from reducing pre-funded balances through stablecoin settlement to connecting digital assets with payment cards.

“The RWA industry faces a test of maturity. As the value of tokenised assets grows, the question is how much of that growth translates into functioning markets, wider use by financial institutions and measurable economic benefits. Issuance figures alone cannot be the answer. At Drofa Comms, we believe that the industry’s development also depends on how openly companies address the challenges involved. Investors and financial institutions need enough information to assess both the opportunities and the limitations of tokenisation,” said Valentina Drofa, Founder & CEO of Drofa Comms.

Beyond investment products, the report also highlights how digital assets are already being used in traditional industries.

“Everyone is talking about the tokenization of financial products and real estate, but the real movement is happening in industries you probably wouldn’t expect. Think trade finance operators, the shipping industry, or precious metals mining businesses. They are already using stablecoins for cross-border transactions and understand why instant settlement is better than T+2.” said Ivan V. Ivanov, Founder of UVECON.VC, UVC GROUP and RWA WEEK commented on these developments.

The report draws on perspectives from speakers and experts affiliated with TRM Labs, Galaxy, Sygnum Bank, Nethermind, Spartan Group, Theoriq, Reap, KAST, Algebra / Theorem, Drofa Comms and other organisations.

The MoU reflects both parties’ commitment to building a sustainable collaborative relationship, leveraging their respective expertise and capabilities, and exploring strategic opportunities to develop joint areas of work and initiatives that deliver added value to both sides. It also forms part of their broader efforts to strengthen effective partnerships and maximise synergies, supporting further development and growth opportunities while deepening cooperation across areas of mutual interest.

MELT Global’s decision to choose Sharjah reflects the emirate’s strong economic and investment fundamentals, which reinforce its position as a centre for business and investment. This is underpinned by the diversity of its economic sectors, the development of its infrastructure and operational capabilities, as well as the availability of logistics services and business support solutions.

Sharjah also offers an environment that enables companies to capitalise on available opportunities, build relationships and establish partnerships that support the development of their activities and strengthen their presence in regional markets. Together, these advantages make the emirate an attractive destination for global companies seeking to establish operations and expand their business from Sharjah.

The selection of Thara to host MELT Global’s regional headquarters reflects the project’s ability to provide a business-friendly environment, supported by integrated facilities, services and operational capabilities. The company’s presence at Thara will also contribute to diversifying the range of activities hosted by the development, while creating opportunities for engagement and collaboration with organisations and institutions operating across the emirate and the wider region.

The MoU underscores both parties’ commitment to continuing to build sustainable strategic partnerships, leverage complementary expertise and capabilities, and explore new avenues for cooperation. This will contribute to creating added value for both parties, supporting development and growth, and further strengthening Sharjah’s position as an attractive destination for investment and business.

About Sharjah Asset Management

Sharjah Asset Management is the investment arm of the Government of Sharjah. It seeks to advance economic and social development and accelerate the emirate’s sustainable economic growth through partnerships with the public and private sectors, encouraging investment and promoting corporate social responsibility. This is achieved through the optimal use of resources, addressing the needs of the Sharjah community and ensuring sustainable well-being.
