<ul><li>Honda has laid out a series of plans and ambitions for futuristic projects.</li><li>It’s planning to make reusable rockets, avatar robots, remote-controlled robots and flying taxis.</li><li>These experiments are said to be an expansion of the company’s core business.</li></ul>Honda has big plans for its futuristic business which includes rockets, robots, renewable energy systems on the moon and its first electric vehicle takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) which could work as flying taxis. The Japanese automobile company said at an event that it will spend $45 billion on R&amp;D in this space over the next six years, and these new experiments will be an expansion of its existing business. Gear up for a long line of announcements. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="eVTOL aircraft" comment="subhead" text="eVTOL aircraft">eVTOL aircraft</cmsannotation> Starting with the eVTOL aircraft, Honda expects to use this as part of an urban taxi service (imagine flying taxis). Unlike other companies making all-electric eVOTL aircrafts, Honda plans to equip its aircraft with a gas turbine hybrid power unit. The reason behind this is because all-electric eVOTLs can fly only short distances due to the battery capacity per mass, according to a report by TechCrunch. If the batteries do advance in future then Honda could opt for all-electric eVOTLs. <div type="Youtube" id="DsRkzNzxwvo" title="Honda eVTOL" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DsRkzNzxwvo/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Honda presented a scenario where someone in Cape Cod, Massachusetts uses an app to book an eVOTL to go to their office in New York City. This would be a two-hour commute by air and on reaching the venue, an autonomous shuttle would be there to drop that person to their office. Honda plans on making a decision for a commercial air taxi service before 2025 and eventually launching it by 2030. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Honda Asimo robot" comment="subhead" text="Honda Asimo robot">Honda Asimo robot</cmsannotation> Honda also showcased a concept avatar robot that can be controlled remotely through a VR headset and a tactile glove for hand movements. These avatar 'Asimo' robots will basically perform human tasks without the person being physically present. Honda expects these robots to be used for remote surgeries which could help benefit developing countries. It also expects Asimo robots to go to places that are difficult for humans to reach. We can expect Asimo robots to start functioning by the 2030s with their testing completed by early 2024, according to Honda’s plans. <div type="Youtube" id="NmJr0UL9a44" title="Honda Avatar Robot" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NmJr0UL9a44/mqdefault.jpg"></div> <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Renewable energy on the moon" comment="subhead" text="Renewable energy on the moon">Renewable energy on the moon</cmsannotation> Honda in partnership with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) plans to build “the circulative renewable energy system on the lunar surface by leveraging fuel cell technologies and high differential pressure water electrolysis technologies Honda has amassed to date.” This renewable energy system is aimed at providing resources to humans and rovers on the moon and hopefully, extend the time people can live there. <div type="image" title="moon honda" msid="86675097" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;This renewable energy system is aimed at providing resources to humans and rovers on the moon and hopefully, extend the time people can live there.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Another crazy idea is the possibility of remote-controlled robots on the lunar surface. Using the same functionality as the avatar robots, these robots would be able to roam the surface of the moon which could help minimise the risk for astronauts exploring space. Honda also has plans for rockets but nothing as big as SpaceX. Its initial plan is to develop small rockets that will help support the launch of low-earth orbit satellites. The company has hopes though of these rockets getting big eventually for space travel. That’s quite a lot from the automaker and very futuristic as well. The results of these ambitions we’re hoping to see in a few years. The company also assured that these are areas that it will focus on but as an extension of its core business, that is cars.

Social enterprises are fast emerging as sustainability power engines of world economies. They are driven by vision to improve society. They identify and solve societal problems through innovation and technology. They feed the hungry, resolve injustices, educate the illiterate, reach healthcare in the remotest corners of the world to cure the diseases, and protect the environment. Social enterprises are movers and shakers of the twenty first century — they are action oriented, they helped the needy (be it organizations or individuals). They act locally but impact globally. Indian social enterprises have been playing a key role in eliminating societal problems. iKure, an Indian social enterprise delivers primary healthcare, wellness, prevention health services to rural, semi-urban and urban areas and has treated 2.5 million people across 6,400 villages. They reach where no doctor reaches. Similarly, Thaely, founded by Ashay Bhave, 21-year-old former student of Amity University, has been manufacturing shoes from fabric derived from waste plastic bags. Each pair of shoes use a total of 15 plastic bags and 22 bottles that are sourced from scrap processing supermarkets and waste collection zones. Thaely is creating wealth out of waste and solving the societal problem by recycling plastic. Likewise, Dinesh who founded of incrEDIBLE, mass-produces edible from 100 million plastic utensils used every day in U.S. Social enterprises led by social entrepreneurs are solving the problems faced by living beings on planet earth, however they too are faced with one major challenge – and that’s funding. Though most social entrepreneurs self-fund their enterprises during inception, they experience growth challenges due to limited fund availability. As per industry reports, about 50% of all social enterprises have reported that funding is their number one business challenge, while 31% face challenges in attracting senior, and middle management. <keyword id="137810" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="tie" source="Orion">TiE</keyword> Sustainability Summit plans to solve both the problems. TSS 2021 hosted by <keyword id="2688812" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tie-hyderabad" source="Orion">TiE Hyderabad</keyword> is being held between Oct 4-6, 2021, through a virtual platform, will leverage its technology platform to facilitate funding of social enterprises. TiE is confident of funding at least 50 to 100 social enterprises during the summit, where the social entrepreneurs will be making a pitch to about 200 global investors. Through its technology platform TiE is confident of facilitating funding to a tune of $20 million in the short-term and about $100 million in the long term to promising social enterprises with ability to create a deep impact on human society, animals and nature. The invested will be made by social impact investors and large businesses who find a social enterprises with a promise of future growth and profits. TiE will play the role of a facilitator to help the most suitable social enterprises meet their potential funding partners. <keyword id="441047" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="manohar-reddy" source="Orion">Manohar Reddy</keyword>, <keyword id="12221455" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tss-global-chair" source="Orion">TSS Global Chair</keyword> and President TiE Hyderabad said, “We see social enterprises as the change agents of the world and will play a key role in shaping the future of world economy. At TSS, we have designed a “Match Making’ Technology Platform for potential social impact investors to meet their prospective investees (social enterprises) who have the capability and promise to not only provide high return on investment, but also create a deep social impact.” This thought was further echoed by <keyword id="3816912" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mahavir-sharma" source="Orion">Mahavir Sharma</keyword>, Immediate past Global Chairman of the Board, <keyword id="12221456" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tie-global-and-co-founder" source="Orion">TiE Global and Co-Founder</keyword>, <keyword id="12221454" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rajasthan-angel" source="Orion">Rajasthan Angel</keyword>, who said, “Social enterprises are the future unicorns of the world. They will be building a trillion dollar economy. At TiE we stay committed to fulfilling the needs of social entrepreneurs who are faced with the challenges of funding, attracting talent – we will be solving both these by partnering with social impact funds and large business to fund them to a tune of $100 million in the long term spread across a few phases based on business viability and ability to create the societal impact and generate high return on investment.
