1368
What are the impact opportunities and investment opportunities associated with alternative proteins and food tech? The industrial animal agriculture industry contributes almost 20% of the world's carbon emissions - on par with the entire transport sector. When thinking about alternative proteins and food tech, many miss the impact it will have on other areas of life such as the climate and healthcare. Alex Mayers, of The Good Food Institute, and Hooked Foods founder, Tom Johansson, educate us all on where the greatest opportunities are, where the investment should go, and where the greatest myths and misunderstandings lie in this exponentially growing field. |

Trustworthy AI - Yes It is Possible! Beena Ammanath, Award-winning Author," Trustworthy AI," Executive Director of the Global Deloitte AI Institute and Founder of Humans For AI, shares with us a very practical approach along with best practices for leaders to consider as they operationalize AI into their companies. Any time AI becomes untrustworthy, there is a person or people who are accountable for that outcome. If an AI tool is not secure and sensitive data is leaded, humans are at fault. Far from theoretical, our conversation includes the questions to ask and the steps to take. A must for everyone as AI is here to stay. Produced by African Tech Roundup |

The Magic of Disruption - Greater Equity All Around Fortunately for the world Amit Pradhan is a brilliant and generous soul. Be it his compassion for others (he is an active Board Member on the Norwegian Refugee Council), his vision for what responsible AI could look like and mean for us all, or his dedication to the decentralization of power and control that would result in a complete switcheroo on who makes the money on data(that would be you and I in his vision thank you very much). We cover it all and then some. Produced by African Tech Roundup |

Third Times a Charm: How Quantum Computing will help us do more good in the world An amazing conversation with an extraordinary mind. Founder and CEO of Strangeworks, Will Hurley aka "Whurley" is a serial entrepreneur using his past experience and connections to demonstrate just how much good tech can do in the world. From his start at Apple where he first answered phones (they then discovered his brilliant mind) to starting a mobile company that built apps for Starbucks, The American Idol and The Daily to name a few - Whurley recognized that he was doing limited good. Realizing the need for a bigger infrastructure to really change the world, he got to work building it. His choices as he saw it : biotech, robotics, or quantum. He chose the latter, feeling it was the right technology at the right point in time with the right needs to address. Putting community, collaboration and quantum computing to work, his impact has been amazing. Add to this, he is a former bass player, has a passion for healing education, and more. Join us for our next episode on March 1st with Arnoud Raskin, Founder of StreetwiZe, where we explore the street as a classroom, and discuss what corporations can learn from street youth.

Living Redeux - can technology help us get to sustainable communities? Looking to the Mycelial network as inspiration, could we in turn write a software dialog with the natural world that results in a Village OS? Imagine a neighborhood that has your back, where you experience “plenty”. Where you feel healthy and everyone has enough, including the planet. James Ehrlich and ReGen Villages are busy building exactly this, demonstrating that technology can play a key positive role in climate change and the future of living, shifting the equation to better math where the earth and all of us win.

The Future of the Digital Divide: It’s Brighter than you Think Viola Llewellyn, CoFounder of Ovamba, is facing risk head on and helping banks to do the same along the way. The result: decrease of the digital and financial divide and a healthier ecosystem, as those who formerly were turned away when requesting funding are better seen as promise rather than risk. Juggling multiple cultures has given her the unique ability to “code-switch”, have better access and understand a broad range of stakeholders. One key takeaway - impact investing actually lessens the risk of a portfolio as it promotes wealth through healthy business whereas NGOs primarily prevent poverty. Far too often people mistake philanthropy as a form of impact investing. Listen to learn more about impact investing, equity, fintech and the lessening of the digital divide. Join us for our next episode on December 14 with James Ehrlich, where we’ll talk about the future of living as we learn more about his regenerative community effort. Will tech finally be embraced as friend vs. foe? Listen to find out! Produced by African Tech Roundup |
