Wow, what an epic two days at the Anglo American Impact Finance Network #IFN event! This was one for the books. Priaash crushed it - pitching our vision, leading a roundtable discussion, doing two interviews, and sharing on a panel. The vibes? ✨ Immaculate✨ The conversations? Deep and real. We tackled some of the biggest questions around impact, especially how to prove it, (which is exactly what HYDRA is built for😉) It was amazing to connect with people who get it, who are just as passionate about driving real change as we are. Thank you to all those who stopped by our stand, shared a chat, and made the whole experience something special. We walked away with valuable connections, new ideas and a ton of energy to take this further.💥 Shoutout to Anton Kleingeld Jeffrey Scheidegger Tiffany Moore Sol Bezuidenhout for having us.😊

Last week in Dublin at the Irish Tech Challenge South Africa, I had the privilege of pitching to Pete Townsend and getting some unfiltered critique and feedback. During our discussion, he reflected on an image (below) from my past experience in the defence sector, where war rooms are common, and data + AI are essential. In that context, a lack of awareness can cost lives. Then he said, "Sustainability War Room". Why not create sustainability war rooms for your customers, and for the market? Imagine a space, both physical, virtual and on your phone, dedicated to addressing sustainability, climate and business operations live and in real time. No more quarterly reports. Insights on demand, 24/7 awareness. The Awareness Company Shazia Vawda Estelle Lubbe PS. Link to the original article where this image is featured in the comments!
