Hypothesis: If every person "wanting to do good" was part of a (local, global) community that made it easy, fun and rewarding for them to see how they can use TODAY to utilize or activate/ hone their existing skills, motivation, passion, knowledge (data), capital (money and other) for a greater societal/ environmental purpose -- while learning a great deal about their own self in the process of so doing -- I bet we'd see hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people follow the call, acting on their own inherent potential. As a group of entrepreneurs and believers in change from the "inside out", we decided to try it out; starting in the tech sector. Planetir 𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵.

Exciting news from Japan International Youth Innovation 2024! 🌟 I'm thrilled to share that I'm already in Tokyo to take part in the prestigious Japan International Youth Innovation 2024, deeply connected with the Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs), and better, built in a super active and participatory format through collaborative group projects and a challenging individual task. Group innovation project: Together with a talented international team, we are already diving into "Peace & Innovation Action in 6.0 industry Challenges", with the aim of integrating at least three SDGs into our innovative solution. Our project, which will be presented at the conference here in Tokyo, has focused on creating sustainable and impactful innovations tailored to pressing global issues. It's already been an enriching experience to be able to develop and present our ideas in a real-world context, reflecting our commitment to global citizenship and sustainable development. Individual assessment: As part of my individual contributions as a delegate, I will participate in the "Innovation Speak UP" initiative, giving a speech on my commitment to promoting peace and innovation. This task has been an in-depth personal journey, which is allowing me to articulate my vision and strategy for effectively contributing to the SDGs and to reflect on the possible challenges and resources needed for successful innovative implementation in Brazil and, of course, in the Amazon. These participatory formats are not only a test of our creative and analytical skills, but also a significant opportunity to contribute to a larger global effort for social innovation in promoting peace and prosperity. I am very grateful to the organizers and all my fellow participants for this opportunity. I am more motivated than ever to continue working on solutions that fill gaps and create tangible, positive outcomes for communities around the world and to return to share the results of this summit. Let's innovate for a better tomorrow! 🌍✨ #JapanInternationalYouthInnovation2024 #Innovation #Sustainability #GlobalGoals #SDGs #YouthLeadership #PeaceAndInnovation

What a way to start the new year! 🌟 Super excited to share that I'll be at the World Economic Forum this year in #Davos.

(For those who follow me here, I will send a reminder right before the action).   For those in Davos, you can meet me at the SDG Tent, a dynamic space organised by Philips, (and others like Devex, United Nations Global Compact, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and IKEA) for panel discussions and events. There is a People’s Cafe area for informal meetings, bilateral discussions, and spur-of-the-moment action.   Why is this a big deal? Well, for us at Solvoz, it's an incredible opportunity to show the world what we're all about – making real, lasting change in sustainable development. We're all about doing things differently, creating fairer markets, and pushing those sustainable goals.   I’ll be talking about taking big ideas for sustainable development and efficiency in aid and health in #LMICs (to bridge the funding gap) and making them happen.   And guess what? I’ll be diving into this alongside some amazing minds – Jian Zhang from Tsinghua University, Allan Lyngsø Madsen from PensionDanmark, Sue Allchurch from the United Nations Global Compact and Sanda Ojiambo Can't wait to hear their insights and share our journey at #Solvoz.   It's time to shake things up, change the way we think, and get the ball rolling toward a better future. 🚀🌍 Margot Cooijmans Robert Metzke Jan-Willem Scheijgrond Anette Hendrickx Philips Foundation Bahaa Eddine Sarroukh #WEF2024 #BusinessForSDGs #SDGTent Learn more: https://lnkd.in/etQXb3dd Looking forward to connect, DM me for more information and meeting in Davos!

🌟 Moment of Reflection at Leap Conference 🌟 As I stood before the vast assembly at the #Leap conference in the beautiful kingdom of Saudi Arabia -gathering that drew over 200,000 visionary minds, a profound sense of responsibility settled upon my shoulders. In that moment, amidst the hum of anticipation for the future of our planet , technology and innovation, I was deeply reminded of the journey that brought me here—the enduring saga of the Minevich family. From the resilient roots in Eastern Europe, where our family name first symbolized strength against adversity, to the harrowing trials of WWII , the spirit of my ancestors has been a beacon guiding my path. Each story of survival and sacrifice infused within me the courage to embrace the challenges of our times. As I am standing on that global stage, I wasn’t just sharing insights into AI and our planet’s future; I was echoing the resilience of a thousand ancestors. Their legacy, marked by perseverance and hope, fueled my passion to make a meaningful impact on the world. The journey of the Minevich family is a testament to what we can overcome and achieve. It’s a narrative that spans generations, emphasizing not just survival, but the flourishing of spirit and innovation against all odds. In this moment of reflection, as the weight of our collective past and the promise of the future pressed upon me, I realized the true significance of our legacy. It’s not just in remembering where we come from but in using that knowledge to inspire and lead change in the world. As we look to the future, let us all remember the strength that comes from our stories. Let’s carry forward the legacy of resilience and hope, shaping a better world for generations to come. #leap2024 #deepfest24 #InnovationForFuture #legacy

🌟 Reflecting on My TEDxDugbe Experience: Out of the Shadows 🌟 Last Saturday (14th of September, 2024), I had an incredible honor to attend **TEDxDugbe 2024**, under the inspiring theme **"Out of the Shadows."** This event was a powerful reminder that there’s immense strength in bringing hidden stories, untold ideas, and innovative thoughts to light. I had the opportunity to learnt from people who through their stories make me to believe in my ability, gift and people. One of the speak spoke about how to create wealth. He said, " You can create wealth through this simple equation, your gift + people= wealth. At first, when I had this, within me something was telling me, this doesn't make sense🙈, it doesn't make sense to you too right? But by the time he explained by sharing his journey of life and insights then, I understood what the speaker was saying. The energy in the room was electrifying, and it was an amazing experience to connect with fellow attendees, who all had something unique to contribute A huge thank to the TEDxDugbe for curating such a thought-provoking event and to everyone who attended, engaged, and supported the dialogue. We are all part of a larger movement, bringing meaningful ideas and conversations **out of the shadows** and into the world. 💡 I’m excited to continue this journey and see what comes next! Let’s keep shining our light. 🔥 #TEDxDugbe #TEDxDugbe2024 #OutOfTheShadows #IdeasWorthSpreading #Growth #Innovation #Inspiration
