Mursion and University of Wyoming’s WYTeach Scholarship Challenge Recognized as a World Changing Idea by Fast Company

Published

on

San Francisco, CA, May 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mursion, the industry leader in immersive VR training for social instinct practice, is pleased to announce its inclusion in the 2021 World Changing Ideas Awards by Fast Company. The prestigious recognition program honors the businesses, policies, projects, and concepts that are actively engaged and deeply committed to pursuing innovation when it comes to solving critical issues, such as essential workplace leadership, health and climate crises, social injustice, and economic inequality. The winners were announced this morning and will be featured in Fast Company’s Summer 2021 issue (on newsstands May 10).

Mursion partnered with the University of Wyoming (UW) College of Education and the UW Trustees Education Initiative (TEI) to develop avatar-led classroom simulations in a statewide teaching competition designed to inspire high school students to become teachers to help combat a growing shortage of educators in the state. The project served as a dynamic way to engage high school students in pursuing their agricultural teaching degrees. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the competition needed to be 100 percent virtual, which is where Mursion’s online capabilities proved beneficial. 

“Mursion made it a more authentic experience for the students and ensured it was a teaching competition instead of just a teaching presentation,” said Lindsey Freeman, University of Wyoming Assistant Professional Lecturer and project lead. “These candidates got to experience real exposure to the actual work of teaching animal and plants sciences to students, and they also got to experience the rewarding nature of the job first-hand.”

Now in its fifth year, the World Changing Ideas Awards showcase 34 winners, more than 400 finalists, and more than 800 honorable mentions. A panel of eminent Fast Company editors and reporters selected winners and finalists from a pool of more than 4,000 entries spanning education, food, politics, technology, transportation, and more. The 2021 awards feature entries from across the globe, from the U.S. to Brazil to Denmark and Vietnam.

“Learning is at the heart of all that Mursion does as a company,” said Mursion Co-Founder and CEO Mark Atkinson. “In formal educational settings, that equates to offering instructors powerful tools and resources to further advance their personal development and student achievement outcomes. The new paradigm for learning at every level must include social emotional learning. Educators and education leaders must not only develop a strong set of SEL instincts themselves; but they must also impart those instincts to their students. This requires a lot of practice. It is our high privilege to provide current and aspiring teachers a safe and effective environment to practice these and other urgent pedagogical skills.”

“There is no question our society and planet are facing deeply troubling times. So, it’s important to recognize organizations that are using their ingenuity, impact, design, scalability, and passion to solve these problems,” says Stephanie Mehta, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “Our journalists, under the leadership of Senior Editor Morgan Clendaniel, have discovered some of the most groundbreaking projects that have launched since the start of 2020.”

MADRID, May 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Global Voice Group (GVG) now features as one of the top 100 Africa-focused innovative RegTech organizations that are set to power Africa to a $1 billion market size by 2025. 

This acknowledgment bears witness to GVG’s compliance monitoring capabilities within the Mobile Money (MM) ecosystem. GVG developed the Mobile Money Monitoring (M3) solution, an intelligent data platform that supports East African regulatory authorities in monitoring the fast-expanding MM market. Through M3, the authorities can ensure the security and integrity of the related financial transactions, as well as transparency and compliance, for enhanced revenue assurance. M3 currently monitors approximately 25% of the financial flows passing through MM platforms in East Africa, verifying over 90 billion USD worth of transactions annually.
Moreover, the platform is also in use in Central and West Africa, in the Republic of Congo and in Ghana. In Congo, M3 has brought the local telecommunications regulator, the ARPCE, 100% visibility and control over all utility payments made via Mobile Money to the government. In Ghana, it has contributed to an average annual growth of 20% in revenue since its deployment. Overall, M3 has captured, verified and analyzed 1 trillion USD in MM transaction value since 2014.
After demonstrating the relevance, effectiveness, and innovation of the M3 solution to the jury, composed of recognized leaders of the Regtech industry, GVG was shortlisted and, following the voting phase, earned a place on the prestigious list. The M3 platform uses machine learning to ensure effective oversight of the MM market, ensure regulatory compliance and detect suspicious transactions. Since its first implementation in 2013, GVG’s M3 solution has provided the relevant regulatory authorities with reliable MM ecosystem metrics to support data-driven decision-making, promote compliance within the market, and reduce fraud and revenue leakage.
Responding to the announcement, James Claude, GVG’s CEO, declared: “It is with a great sense of achievement that I see GVG featuring among the 100 top RegTech providers in Africa. On behalf of the whole company, I sincerely thank Africa RegTech Horizon, as well as our voters, for supporting us in what we do best: providing governments and regulatory authorities with the market insights they need to address the challenges related to the fast-expanding financial ecosystem.”
