Register your business name.

Let's help you register your business name.

To complete these objectives, the SMEDAN MSME Registration Program was set up. The motivation behind this program is to register an information base of all MSMEs inactivity inside the country. 

Being a piece of this enlistment cycle is of extraordinary advantage to organizations in the nation. The term business here isn't restricted to a specific area; it involves organizations across all areas.

Who is qualified for SMEDAN enrollment in Nigeria? 

Any business that falls under the classification of MSMEs – Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises is qualified to enlist. To additional illuminate it, MSMEs incorporate any business that utilizes 250 workers or less.

MSMEs comprises of three business categories, which are:

• Micro Enterprise: Micro-enterprises employ a minimum of 1 employee and a maximum of 9 employees.
• Small Enterprise: Employs a minimum of 10 employees and a maximum of 49 employees.
• Medium Enterprise: Employs a minimum of 50 employees and a maximum of 2450

If your business falls into any of these sectors, you will be very much eligible to register your business. Now let’s look at the benefits of SMEDAN registration.

Chinese and Russian hackers were just sanctioned by Europe for the first time

The news: The EU imposed its first-ever sanctions for cyberattacks on Thursday. The action includes travel bans and asset freezes on individuals and organizations connected to ransomware and industrial espionage.

Retaliation for Russian attacks: The most prominent target is unit 74455 of Russia’s GRU military intelligence service, a group known as Sandworm. It is linked to the NotPetya ransomware attacks, which caused over $10 billion in damage.

China’s corporate espionage: In China, two citizens and a company, Haitai Technology Development, were sanctioned in connection with a hacking campaign known as Cloudhopper. The operation, carried out on behalf of Chinese intelligence services, targeted corporate secrets across six continents and is one of the most expansive espionage operations ever spotted. Read more here.

How an EU tax could slash climate emissions far beyond Europe

The big reveal: Last week, EU leaders approved the most aggressive climate-change plan in history. The text of the $2 trillion budget agreement called for introducing a “carbon border adjustment mechanism” by 2023. That’s EU-speak for a tax on imported goods produced in ways that emit more greenhouse-gas emissions than are allowed by EU manufacturers.

Makes sense: Without a carbon border tax, the EU could claim emissions reductions even as production of its goods simply shifts to other parts of the world, where they can be produced in cheaper and dirtier ways. 

Bigger than Paris: In addition, it might lead to bilateral or trilateral trade deals that could achieve greater climate progress than international treaties like the Paris agreement, where any targets must be loose enough to get nearly 200 nations onboard.

Details, details: The detailed negotiations won’t begin until next year, and will require several layers of approvals. And the effort is sure to face a series of legal challenges, particularly from poorer nations. Read the full story.

The field of natural language processing is chasing the wrong goal

The outlook: Researchers are concerned about the core methods and objectives of natural-language processing (NLP), the branch of AI focused on creating systems that analyze or generate human language. Are these methods enough to achieve the field’s ultimate goals? What even are those goals?

What needs fixing: The way NLP is evaluated could be part of the problem. Researchers publish new data sets of even trickier questions, only to see even bigger neural networks quickly post impressive scores. But many people in the field are growing weary of such leaderboard-chasing. Do recent “advances” really translate into helping people solve problems? Such doubts are more than abstract fretting; whether systems are truly proficient at language comprehension has real stakes for society.

Where we go from here: To bring evaluations more in line with the targets, it helps to consider what holds today’s systems back. A human reading a passage will build a detailed representation of entities, locations, events, and their relationships—a “mental model” of the world described in the text. To construct more meaningful evaluations, NLP researchers should test whether an AI system is able to construct this sort of model. Read the full story.

The quest for quantum-proof encryption just made a leap forward

The issue: Many of the things you do online every day are protected by encryption so that no one else can spy on it. Your online banking and messages to friends are likely encrypted, for example—as are government secrets. But that protection is under threat from the development of quantum computers, which threaten to render modern encryption methods useless. 

Getting ahead of the game: While modern encryption is still a long way from being broken, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology launched a competition in 2016 to develop new standards for cryptography that will be more quantum-proof. Winners won’t be announced until 2022, but last week the organization announced that it had narrowed the initial field of 69 contenders down to just 15. 

A promising method: So far, a single approach to “post-quantum cryptography” accounts for the majority of the finalists: lattice-based cryptography. While public-key encryption uses traditional math to encode data, lattice-based cryptography instead uses enormous grids with billions of individual points across thousands of dimensions. The NSA says the approach has promise. Read the full story.
