Emeria Lavanda
(Common: Lavender Bank)
Industry: Financial Services
Country of Origin: Giovanniland
Description: Emeria Lavanda is one of the largest banks in Giovanniland, with significant operations in the other Lavender Island countries of Blue Bubble and Minsu as well. The bank traces back its origins to the reign of Giovannian emperor Vittore I, who oversaw an era of maritime expeditions that reached as far as the other side of the Viatic Ocean. The emperor encouraged the establishment of trading posts in different continents, and the trade was facilitated by multiple institutions of merchants and moneylenders. One of them, called the Instituto Kommerki Lavandule (Common: Trading Institute of Lavandula) was established in the northern coastal city of Uryde in the year of 923, and around a century later, formally assumed the name of Emeria Lavanda that continues to the present day.
Fast forward to more recent times, and Emeria Lavanda has certainly endured the test of time, having stayed in operation for centuries and adapting to the world economy's shifts such as industrialization and the technological revolution. The bank has been fundamental in increasing the financial sector's significance for the Giovannilandian economy, and today has grown into a major bank in Giovanniland and Lavender Island. Presently, around 8% of the national GDP comes from this sector, and Emeria Lavanda among other national banks has earned a reputation of having a very secure and technological system, alongside low taxes for money deposits.
Augusto Emilio-Nyima, the current CEO since ten years ago, comes from a wealthy family in northern Giovanniland and has continued his predecessors' progress in leveraging the latest technologies to enhance customer experience. In this vein, Emeria Lavanda is also known in the nation for having the most user-friendly and feature-rich digital banking platform, and its use of AI to streamline various operations.

Speaker Series Day 4
AI Decision-making In Smart Service Networks
Moderator: Hal Van Halenbaum, Mayor of the city of Gué
Key Points
“If you’re in a city, you’re connected to a big web of people you don’t know, but affect your life,” said Hal Van Halenbaum. “Restaurants and their delivery drivers. Electricians who respond to outages detected over a remote network. Police, firefighting officers, and EMTs who respond to pull stations, alarms, or 111 calls. These networks have a lot of data, which can do a great deal of good when wielded well. With the way AI has been implemented in industrial and production settings, let’s see how AI can be brought into the smart service network.”
“Service networks are made of three parts,” Ula Rayner said. She is a social science researcher from Ageros. “Sensors, which are people or machines that monitor the environment. Connectors, which are systems or people who collate what sensors are reading from the environment. Lastly, there are agents, who get signals from connectors on where they have to go to do something, either fight crime or get a cat out of a tree. Emergency call centers were the first iteration of a unifying service network, where fire, police, EMS, and technical assistance could be deployed based on input from callers.”
“AI has already aided the banking sector,” said Augusto Emilio-Nyima. He is the CEO of Emeria Lavanda in Giovanniland, one of the largest banks in the nation. “AI detects suspicious transactions and freezes accounts until account holders confirm or deny the transaction. AI can surely work in an electrical grid, detecting fluctuations and immediately deploying technicians to a service sector. Or collating mass reports in the same area to alert relative leadership of a quickly evolving major incident. When built at scale, I and many others can definitely see the benefits of AI doing the hard micromanaging and detecting that would take hundreds of thousands of analysts to do normally.”
“All of the previous examples have been for very concrete things,” said Wohali Wakan. She is a CEO of a non-profit health service network in Zoran. “This will creep into other service sectors, as any innovation has. And when we have the errors that AI has in false alarms, or assigning resources too quickly, it can be detrimental to patient or client health.  AI programmed to kick ‘delinquents’ out of service programs can end up calibrated to kick many people off the program, and be considered good, even if its for what we’d consider minor infractions. Moving people from one program to another in an automated manner can drain resources, and result in clients receiving services they don’t need. These issues are among many others that can happen when people are taken out of the management and action loop.”
“This makes me think about a lot of other automated stuff,” said Hal Van Halenbaum. “Automated cars that have gotten into serious accidents a human would have avoided. AI writing tools making up stuff on the fly or lying. AI walking into walls in video games. Although I kid, I'm also serious. Intelligence is really complicated. We have to be really careful in understanding what intelligence we’re trying to make, and being sure to properly build and regulate it, before the AI we’ve tasked with policing a street walks off the boardwalk and into the ocean.”

Konglomerato Andoliano Estrattioni
(Common: Andolian Conglomerate of Mining)
Industry: Resource Extraction
Country of Origin: Giovanniland
Description: Konglomerato Andoliano Estrattioni is a group of mining companies operating in Giovandolia, each specializing into a specific resource. The conglomerate's history dates back to the mid-9th century with the discovery of valuable minerals including gold and silver, and the imperial government's establishment of state offices to use these resources in favor of national development, consolidating the economic growth of the Giovannian Empire's Golden Era (824-1057).
Over time, these offices changed hands to private ownership, diversifying their mining operations towards other resources, and making pivotal contributions to the industrialization of Giovanniland in the 13th century. In the year of 1261, several of these major mining companies were brought under the name of the Andoliavilla-based Konglomerato Andoliano Estrattioni, founded by mining magnate Nikolo Veturio-Amorino. His successors maintained the conglomerate's status as one of the major companies in Giovanniland, and in the 14th century, the tenure of CEO Debora Lukiano-Pelkarma started the focus on mining of useful resources for Giovanniland's scientific and technological revolution that has been a key focus of the conglomerate ever since.
Of course, since the rise of environmental policies in Giovanniland during the 14th century, one of the Konglomerato Andoliano Estrattioni's major challenges has been to adapt to these regulations and reduce the impact of its mining in the environment, for example adopting reclamation plans to restore mined areas and seeking possible reuses of tailings. More recently, extensive studies have been made on bioleaching, the extraction of metals from ore with living organisms such as bacteria, which relies upon the fact that some bacteria are able to break down the minerals chemically. Another interesting concept in regards to green mining is the use of enzymes to selectively dissolve metals from ore. Current CEO Violetta Onofrio has placed these goals at a high level of importance.

Avvento
Industry: Energy
Country of Origin: Giovanniland
Description: Avvento is a key player in the current push to make windpower more prevalent in Giovanniland and the world. The company works extensively with the concept of offshore wind farms, avoiding disadvantages of doing it inland such as disturbing people and wildlife, while also benefitting from the fact wind speed is often higher at the sea. Based on the fifth largest city in the country, Abrentopole, the company was founded in 1364 by Vespasio Tuditano-Lartidio and its current CEO is Gabriella Giustiniano.
Currently, windpower accounts for just over a fifth of the national energy production (21%), being above solar power (10%) but below hydropower (55%). Despite hydroelectricity's pivotal role in Giovanniland's transition away from fossil fuels to renewable sources in the 14th century, the government also recognizes its disadvantages such as loss of arable land, population displacement, and disruption of ecosystems, and has moved to phase it out as the main contributor by the year of 1450. This is a golden opportunity for companies like Avvento to bring out their best efforts towards the transition to generation of even cleaner energy.
As the late founder Vespasio used to say, wind is the future — vento è l'avvento in Giovannese, a slogan that explains the company's name and its core belief. Through the Esferos Economic Expo, Avvento is committed to its goal of expanding windpower as an energy source across the world. Already the company has acted significantly in Giovanniland, building many offshore wind farms across the nation's vast coasts on the Darkesian Sea, and now it hopes to encourage change abroad too.

Ekoprodutti
Industry: Alternative Resources
Country of Origin: Giovanniland
Description: Ekoprodutti is one of the major producers of environmentally friendly products in Giovanniland. The company was founded in 1330 in the capital Giovannia, during an era in Giovannilandian political history where left-wing and green parties rose in prominence due to increasing concerns about the negative effects of industrialization, and how to overcome them while maintaining development. Due to extensive environmental legislation and subsidies when these parties have led the government, the nation became one of the leading powers in Esferos for environmentally friendly economic development, and still is today, with Ekoprodutti at the forefront.
Nowadays, scientifical advancement in Giovanniland and the world allows for a wider than ever range of opportunities to continue bringing together environmental protection and national development. The environmental policies of the 14th century have paid off, and green products are ubiquitous for Giovanniland's customers—so Ekoprodutti is looking forward to display a variety of them in the Esferos Economic Expo, with the goal of expanding its international markets. The company offers both its own green products, for example clothing, furniture and utensils, while also helping other companies adopt environmentally friendly practices, most notably packaging and waste reuse. In many cases, for example plant or fungi-based alternatives, Ekoprodutti works together with local organic farmers and producers so their waste can be used for a good purpose while healthy food is also produced.

Benaventura Corporation
(Giovannese: Korporatio Benaventura)
Industry: Infrastructure
Country of Origin: Giovanniland
Description: Benaventura Corporation is a company that grew out of a local family business to become one of the largest infrastructure companies in Giovanniland and beyond. In 1233, during the industrialization of Giovanniland, Porto Violeto businessman Terentio Benaventura founded the company that initially offered local construction and infrastructure services. Over time, his descendants would then improve the corporation's reach to a nationwide and soon international status, participating in large projects and even being hired for governmental projects. The current CEO is Erasmo Benaventura, who has continued the company's good fortunes and also successfully acted on his father Klaudio's desire to branch out to other areas of the economy, though infrastructure remains the corporation's flagship action.
Some of the company's largest national projects to date include a full-fledged renovation of Porto Violeto's Neurino International Airport, the building of several powerful hydroelectric dams in the large Irto River to improve energy generation in Giovandolia, the pivotal role in completing the 14th century state highway and railway projects to connect every settlement with more than 1,000 inhabitants, and most recently the construction of Porto Violeto's new tallest building, the Prosperita Abria tower. The company has also acted in other high-profile infrastructure projects in Aura, Andolia and other continents.

Welcome to Day Two of the Esferos Economic Expo, 1424. I’m Caroline Basseterre, Co-Chair of the Committee of the Expositioners. Welcome to returning and new visitors.
Day 2 of the exposition will feature chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical companies, as well as pioneers in new resource synthesis like mycelium and cruelty free leather. Tonight’s panel discussion will be on artificial limbs and organs, both mechanical and biological.

Speaker Series Day 1
Automation and Logistics
Moderator: Alan Villers, Chair of the Committee of the Expositioners
Key Points
“The robots are here to stay,” said Alan Villers. He started the night listing many industries where semi-autonomous machines are already operating: “Vehicle manufacturing, food delivery, customer service, even some search and rescue. Industry leaders and entrepreneurs have found innovative ways to integrate autonomous machines into the business cycle. Now we have to contend with what automation will mean for the backbone of the economy, logistics.”
“Logistics can be broad, and that is what is making it such a touchstone for people,” said Carla Montecarlo, a researcher from Fuentana. “This means longshoremen unloading and loading cargo ships, people who drive and drop packages off at your doorstep, warehouse stockers. There are millions of jobs in this industry which may be massively affected by implementing autonomous machines.”
“There’s incredible opportunity for increased efficiency,” said Shigeru Mite, an entrepreneur from Min-su. “Some of the most dangerous logistical work can be handled by machines, who can be more easily repaired or replaced. And jobs that would seriously hurt workers overtime, like small item sorting causing tennis elbow, can be made safer with a semi-autonomous machine supervised by a human. Just from the number of truckers who lose their lives to tiredness while on the road should show what good we can do.”
“That does come with some drawbacks right?” said Bruce Hastings, a podcaster and labor author from Hertfordshire and Jammbo. “These are millions of people who might be pushed by industry to reach machine-like efficiency. Other people have tried that before with serious negative health consequences. If workers are replaced outright, that’s millions of workers whose economies will have to either absorb them, subsidize them in some way, or allow them to fall by the wayside.
“Although it’s hard to come to one concrete answer, I can say this,” said Alan Villers. “Many industries have had automation in some fashion or another, and for the most part they’ve been better for it, ever since the letter sorter machines of the 1330s. If mankind has been able to integrate machines with good overall results before, then there’s a chance lightning can hit the same place again.”

Lavionda
(Common: Lavionda Airlines, Giovannese: Lavionda Linie Arie)
Industry: Transport (aerial)
Country of Origin: Giovanniland
Description: Lavionda, a portmanteau of lavanda (lavender) and avio (airplane), is an airline based on Giovanniland that operates flights to numerous destinations across Esferos. Originally a regional airline operating mainly in Lavandula, the region spanning the three Lavender Island countries' northern areas, it has since then positioned itself as one of the main airlines of Giovanniland, competing with the nation's flag carrier and other notable companies. Notably, it has maintained its primary hub in the Violet International Airport of Uryde, adding the Emperor Giovanni the Great International Airport of Giovannia, the nation's main airport, as a secondary hub.
Some of the airline's busiest destinations include Lavandulan cities such as Uryde, Quorivo, Dazano, Kyene, and Lampo; other major cities in Giovanniland such as Giovannia, Porto Violeto and Andoliavilla; and various international routes, especially Lavender Island destinations including Kopai, Forte Lavanda, Kharventhin (in Blue Bubble), Tanba and Shinano (in Minsu). Although previously not very known internationally, the airline rose in prominence after handling thousands of flights for the Quoriv-Kharventhin II Summer Esferiad.
The company was founded in 1378 by Vittoria Peskennio-Lodago and its current CEO since 1419 is Flavio Gigerano. Flavio's current tenure is establishing Lavionda as one of the leading innovators in the aviation industry, particularly in regards to Lavionda's commitment to sustainability. For example, the company is investing in electric airplane technologies and hopes to unveil its first commercial electric flight by the company's 50-year anniversary in 1428. This will greatly reduce fuel costs and maintenance, besides enabling quieter takeoffs and landings.
Lavionda is also notable for a commitment to digitalization of manual processes in both airports and flights, in order to improve the customer experience, and for its partnership with local film producers from the two regions of Lavanda Prima and Lavanda Sekunda, with the goal of promoting Lavandulan culture and offering more in-flight entertainment options for passengers.

Benaventura Corporation
(Giovannese: Korporatio Benaventura)
Industry: Infrastructure
Country of Origin: Giovanniland
Description: Benaventura Corporation is a company that grew out of a local family business to become one of the largest infrastructure companies in Giovanniland and beyond. In 1233, during the industrialization of Giovanniland, Porto Violeto businessman Terentio Benaventura founded the company that initially offered local construction and infrastructure services. Over time, his descendants would then improve the corporation's reach to a nationwide and soon international status, participating in large projects and even being hired for governmental projects. The current CEO is Erasmo Benaventura, who has continued the company's good fortunes and also successfully acted on his father Klaudio's desire to branch out to other areas of the economy, though infrastructure remains the corporation's flagship action.
Some of the company's largest national projects to date include a full-fledged renovation of Porto Violeto's Neurino International Airport, the building of several powerful hydroelectric dams in the large Irto River to improve energy generation in Giovandolia, the pivotal role in completing the 14th century state highway and railway projects to connect every settlement with more than 1,000 inhabitants, and most recently the construction of Porto Violeto's new tallest building, the Prosperita Abria tower. The company has also acted in other high-profile infrastructure projects in Aura, Andolia and other continents.

Lavionda
(Common: Lavionda Airlines, Giovannese: Lavionda Linie Arie)
Industry: Transport (aerial)
Country of Origin: Giovanniland
Description: Lavionda, a portmanteau of lavanda (lavender) and avio (airplane), is an airline based on Giovanniland that operates flights to numerous destinations across Esferos. Originally a regional airline operating mainly in Lavandula, the region spanning the three Lavender Island countries' northern areas, it has since then positioned itself as one of the main airlines of Giovanniland, competing with the nation's flag carrier and other notable companies. Notably, it has maintained its primary hub in the Violet International Airport of Uryde, adding the Emperor Giovanni the Great International Airport of Giovannia, the nation's main airport, as a secondary hub.
Some of the airline's busiest destinations include Lavandulan cities such as Uryde, Quorivo, Dazano, Kyene, and Lampo; other major cities in Giovanniland such as Giovannia, Porto Violeto and Andoliavilla; and various international routes, especially Lavender Island destinations including Kopai, Forte Lavanda, Kharventhin (in Blue Bubble), Tanba and Shinano (in Minsu). Although previously not very known internationally, the airline rose in prominence after handling thousands of flights for the Quoriv-Kharventhin II Summer Esferiad.
The company was founded in 1378 by Vittoria Peskennio-Lodago and its current CEO since 1419 is Flavio Gigerano. Flavio's current tenure is establishing Lavionda as one of the leading innovators in the aviation industry, particularly in regards to Lavionda's commitment to sustainability. For example, the company is investing in electric airplane technologies and hopes to unveil its first commercial electric flight by the company's 50-year anniversary in 1428.
