NEW YORK – Today EMTECH announced its pilot-ready innovation and regulatory compliance platform, the Modern Central Bank Sandbox™, targeting central banks looking to streamline regulatory reviews, collaborate with innovators on emerging technology, or safely test their Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC). With the Modern Central Bank Sandbox™ EMTECH empowers central banks to overcome systemic challenges that currently exist within financial services (Exclusion, KYC, SME Lending, Cross-Border Payments, AML/Fraud), and to innovate safely, while providing effective oversight, and accelerating time to market for innovative financial products. EMTECH is actively working with the Central Bank of the Bahamas on the release of its Digital Sand Dollar currency.
Central banks today hold $9 Trillion in paper cash. In digitizing paper currency with CBDC, central banks create unprecedented liquidity that benefits small businesses and individuals while maintaining the central bank money as the anchor of a robust and competitive financial sector. By providing the infrastructure for digital cash, EMTECH provides central banks an action-ready toolset for new and inclusive monetary policy, and the guardrails for efficient transfer of an estimated $90 Trillion in cash payments.
“By enabling central banks to deploy the EMTECH Modern Central Bank Sandbox™, we help regulators leapfrog existing regulatory frameworks and systems, and adopt an innovation mindset as well as an innovation toolset,” said EMTECH CEO and co-founder Carmelle Cadet. “Our ability to help the leaders at central banks operationalize monetary and economic policy promotes multi-stakeholder collaboration and innovation, such as exposing CBDC Test APIs for industry testing. This is why EMTECH is the Fintech of Modern Central Banking,” Cadet said. Cadet is a former IBM Corporation Business Executive with experience in enterprise software, blockchain and global fintech innovation.
Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) could change all financial relationships, according to the latest Deutsche Bank Wealth Management CIO report from Sept. 2020. Increased transaction speed, security and transparency, and more effective monetary policy are key benefits of CBDC, according to Deutsche Bank. EMTECH’s announcement today offers an actionable solution for secure and phased implementation of such initiatives worldwide. The firm is currently engaged with several central banks, and working with the leading cloud provider Microsoft, to deploy pilots in the coming months.
“Microsoft Azure is a key enabler of the digital transformation journey of customers all over the world. We look forward to helping EMTECH on its global mission to enable accelerated central bank digital innovation, harnessed on Microsoft’s highly secure, compliant and scalable Azure platform,” said Chris Lwanga, Principal Director, Microsoft Corporation.
The EMTECH leadership and founding team also includes D. R. Maurice, a finance industry regulator with an extensive portfolio of risk management duties, and who served at the Federal Reserve, The U.S Treasury Department, and as an advisor to central banks in emerging and transitional markets. EMTECH Chief Technology Officer Evgeni Mitkov is a veteran of Wallet Street, who brings extensive payments, FX and capital markets expertise, and has built, scaled, and sold two high frequency trading platforms.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and the world’s largest express transportation company, announced today that operations are in motion to transport its first shipments of COVID-19 vaccines.
Following the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of Emergency Use Authorization for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, FedEx Express will begin transport of the vaccine using its FedEx Priority Overnight® service supported by FedEx Priority Alert® advanced monitoring. After months of preparation and close planning with Pfizer, other healthcare companies, and federal and state officials, the first COVID-19 vaccines will move to dosing centers in the United States. Vaccine distribution will be balanced among major cargo carriers, and FedEx is working closely with healthcare customers to prepare for additional vaccine shipments and transportation of critical vaccine-related supplies.
The FedEx network is well-positioned to handle COVID-19 vaccine shipments around the world with temperature-control solutions, near real-time monitoring capabilities and a dedicated healthcare team to support the express transportation of vaccines and bioscience shipments.
“This is among the most important work in the history of our company, and we’re honored to be a part of the effort to help end this pandemic,” said Raj Subramaniam, president and chief operating officer, FedEx Corp. “I am immensely proud of our dedicated team members who continue to go above and beyond to help ensure the safe movement of these critical COVID-19 vaccines, especially during our busiest holiday shipping season to date. This is who we are and what we do at FedEx.”
Transportation of COVID-19 vaccines is the next phase of ongoing FedEx efforts to support pandemic relief around the world. FedEx has a long history of supporting relief efforts when disasters strike, using its network and expertise to deliver for good.
“We are one of the few companies with the global network and capabilities to keep critical supply chains moving during this unprecedented time,” said Don Colleran, president and chief executive officer, FedEx Express. “Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, FedEx has delivered more than 55 kilotons of personal protective equipment, including more than two billion face masks, and more than 9,600 humanitarian aid shipments around the globe.”
To help reach underserved communities with the COVID-19 vaccine, FedEx has committed $4 million in cash and in-kind transportation support to several nonprofits serving communities in the U.S. and around the world. These include Direct Relief, International Medical Corps, and Heart to Heart International.
“Time-definite express transportation of critical shipments is exactly what our FedEx Express network was built to do when it launched in 1973,” said Richard W. Smith, regional president of the Americas and executive vice president of global support, FedEx Express. “Almost five decades later, we are proving true to our founding mission by delivering critical COVID-19 vaccines.”
“This is a historic moment and represents a monumental feat for vaccine development and expedient deployment,” said Mike McDermott, president, Pfizer Global Supply. “Outstanding logistics is critical to get our products to those who need them across the country, and we’re happy to partner with FedEx in this historic effort to save lives and put an end to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
About the technology:
At FedEx, the information about the package is as important as the package itself as it moves through the network. FedEx SenseAware ID, a Bluetooth low-energy sensor device, will be affixed to vaccine shipments, helping to ensure these temperature-sensitive deliveries move swiftly and safely through the FedEx Express U.S. network with FedEx Priority Overnight service. From origin to destination, dedicated FedEx Priority Alert customer support agents are using SenseAware monitoring technology to track the location of vaccine shipments in near real-time. This technology is complemented by the FedEx Surround platform, which leverages artificial intelligence and predictive tools to proactively monitor conditions surrounding the packages, allowing customer support agents to intervene if weather or traffic delays threaten to impede delivery times.
Quick stats about the FedEx network:
Built over 47 years, the FedEx network consists of more than 5,000 facilities, more than 670 aircraft, more than 180,000 vehicles, and – most importantly – nearly 600,000 dedicated team members worldwide.
At present, FedEx Express operates nearly 32,000 flights per month, and roughly half are missions flown by widebody aircraft.
FedEx Express has more than 90 cold chain facilities across five continents with plans to open additional facilities in coming years.
To the extent vaccine shipments may require the use of dry ice, FedEx Express is capable of safely handling those volumes. FedEx Express transports approximately 500,000 dry ice shipments a month.
