Thrilled to have represented Planet First Partners at the WVC:E Summit at the iconic STATION F in Paris 🇫🇷 Retention of women remains a crucial challenge in finance—and venture capital is no exception. Bringing together 200+ women from VCs across Europe, at all seniority levels, was a fantastic opportunity to learn, share, and connect with so many talented peers 🌍 Feeling grateful for the meaningful connections and insights gained over the past couple of days. Looking forward to strengthening these new bonds! ✨

A privilege to represent Planet First Partners at Happiness Capital | Certified B Corp’s Investor Day last month - a fund whose mission is to build a happiness ecosystem in which their portfolio companies and VC partners help them to co-create a better future, leveraging a unique “Happiness Return Framework” created alongside industry experts**. The fund operates with a philosophy not too dissimilar to our own: that business success and sustainability can nurture and promote healthier and happier lives around the world. What better setting for this than a small, but culturally rich, country nestled in the Himalayas - Bhutan 🇧🇹- a country which measures Gross National Happiness as keenly, if not more so, than others reference Gross Domestic Product (not to mention it is the first, and only, country to be officialy carbon negative 🌱). Bringing together hundreds of investors, entrepreneurs and policy makers from around the world - including the King of Bhutan himself, otherwise known as the ‘Druk Gyalpo’ (Dragon King), who engaged us over dinner on his vision for a thriving business hub in Paro, generously hosted 1x1s with promising startups interested in establishing a manufacturing presence there, and offered the Druk Gyalpo Institute as a venue for our business day (his not-for-profit providing world-class education to underprivileged children) - we spent four days exploring the largely-untouched mountains of Bhutan, discussing technological innovations across foodtech🍽️, renewable energy🔋, sustainable supply chains⛓️, earth observation🔎, and health 🚑, and engaging in their culture through guided meditations and a hike to their most sacred site, the ‘Tiger’s Nest’, sitting 3,120m above sea level. The Bhutanese culture is beautifully interwoven with their spirituality, and so warmly shared with those to whom it is foreign. While the country may be far from us in distance, religion, and taste (the spiciness of their food is certainly something to be reckoned with!) we can all learn something from their desire to consistently put their best foot forward, share their strengths, extend an open palm where they seek guidance, and continually strive for a sustainable future 🌏. A special thanks to the Happiness Capital team and the Lee Kum Kee family for their exceptionally hard work in organising the event, and in their dedication to their mission and values🙏🤝. **If interested to learn more about the “Happiness Return Framework”, Professor Winnie Peng presented her latest case study which is downloadable here: https://lnkd.in/dZzyGYpv Eric Ng

Please join #Submer on their live stream to learn more about key data centre #cooling technology that will enable the deployment of a much needed digital infrastructure without compromising on climate change
#Datacenters use massive amounts of power to run and cool their servers: ▪️ It is estimated that data centers worldwide already account for up to 4% of global energy consumption and 1% of global greenhouse emissions. ▪️ It is also estimated that datacenters will double the electricity demand by 2026. ▪️ Data centers could consume up to 9% of electricity in the US by 2030. There's a huge need to deploy solutions that will cut data center emissions immediately. And, with a changing climate, we need climate-resilient data centers. Now. 🌎🤝 We'll deep-dive into this topic during #TheSubmerExperience2024 with a look at the forefront of #cooling technology. Join us in this event, and let's discuss what we can do to achieve a planet-friendly datacenter industry landscape. 🚀 Save your seat here ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/dN7HzYrA #submer #datacentersthatmakesense #immersioncooling #liquidcooling #datacenterefficiency #sustainabledatacenter #tco #density #sustainability
