The conversations taking place this week at are important, but the real headline is that Progress is happening!

We and our fellow -rs are leading on this progress! Shoutout to The Climate Pledge, Paula Peña , Anovia Daniels Thomas for all their amazing work … & to all the other signatories attending in … can’t wait to meet some of you!

We're leading the transformation by making accessible for everyone. Our and trustworthy is democratising hard-to-do, hard-to-choose tasks and making higher-quality offsets and carbon removal/reduction accessible. Our "powerhouse of an analytical engine" (to quote others) makes any data-driven, risk-decision a piece of cake!

I’ll be speaking further about this on Thu 7th @ 5pm as part of the The IEEE , and NetZero Policies & Practices Symposium (https://gtsnz.org/) entitled “Enigmatic or Pragmatic - the leading approaches to automating ESG regulations & mitigation”. In which I’ll talk about how since the launch of our partner-API at in Glasgow, it has grown into a fully "embedded service/system” i.e. embedding ESG within (or alongside) non-ESG, AI-automated services/systems such as cybersecurity, insurance, advisory and financing (including automated ).

I’ll also be hanging out at the where I had a great time attending events last time… would've been fab to meet Leonardo Di Caprio… but loved hearing Sabrina Elba and Christiana Figueres of Global Optimism speak! Watch the recap here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT_h8XmqYwo&ab_channel=KiranBhagotra which inspired all of the above progress!

Thrilled to be attending yet another , after an inspiring month of talks on inclusive & sustainable innovation at &

Also looking forward to catching my fellow Earthshotters including Aadith Moorthy from Boomitra, and fellow awardee Anwar Almojarkesh representing the Youth voice in tackling climate change.

Hoping this week will be a shot of optimism for both those inside and out of ESG circles. When it comes to addressing the climate crisis, we have two options:
1) Succumb to despair.
2) "we hold onto the most powerful motivators of all: optimism, and hope." (To quote Prince William @ .)

At ProtectBox we're choosing the latter.

Not our 1st, 2nd, or 3rd but our 4th Innovate UK Grant was announced today (just like winning 's Technology Entrepreneur of Year would be our 13th Award! Steven Bartlett calls them "Grammys of entrepreneurship" so bring it on! Just like our nomination for 2nd year for The Earthshot Prize would be our 14th Award!) & one I'm most OMG about because of the genuinely amazing innovations of my fellow Awardees. So check out https://lnkd.in/eK4iwc9V & tell me which companies gave you ? ❤

♻ Our 1st Grant was from the Sustainable Innovation Fund with which we launched our '5 Trees' (like '5 Stars') ratings

🧠 2nd was UKRI ideas to address COVID with which we launched our partner API - your face with our brain behind, as we call it. This opened up our aggregator/marketplace .... that uses to quickly, smartly make a decision using real-time data to risk-assess (regulation-based), compare, match, package & buy ... to be adapted for any industry/sector for uses beyond buying & security. With automated carbon foot printing the most requested adapt by our corporate/government partners, for their supply chains. Plus interoperability with other technologies/AIs

🦾 It's interoperability with other technologies we're harnessing in our 3rd 's TrustworthyAI Grant. To upgrade ProtectBox's existing neural-networked, Knowledge Representation & Reasoning (KRR) AI to a (like ChatGPT) to convert legacy C code to C (coding language that works on new era ) with as little manual modifications directly to code by a developer, as possible

ℹ️ And it's interoperability with other AIs that are being leveraged in this 4th (/inaugural cohort) Inclusive Innovation Grant. Our existing multi-step questionnaire is being upgraded to an interactive chatbot powered by for dynamic questioning, delivered bi-directionally through phone/computer/aids e.g. , Google , , video-calling. As well as intelligently analysing answers to tailor the next questions. You can ask your own questions to speed up or by-pass our assessment, which our AI factors into our existing behavioural analysis. So (as says) we're "democratising the market"

ProtectBox Ltd proud to be key part of 's adoption of driving - with our new Innovate UK TrustworthyAI funding - as discussed by UK PM Rishi Sunak during his chat on LinkedIn including the great James Caan CBE (see https://lnkd.in/e_TmgQfs? ).

With so much talk on , distilled my need-to-knows in the below video (which's bumper but-just like me-mix of work & play) starting with Made By Dyslexia & Sir Richard Branson's “ " https://lnkd.in/e5hJB4GR. As mild (myself) what a wonderful concept & Sir R love to work with you on that new name you mention :) As we upgrade ProtectBox’s KRR-neural networked AI (which I'm mocked for less now I say I wrote) to using a new Grant, we second Sir R’s view on how AI work should be supervised by a global body. See the full piece at https://lnkd.in/eWc66iFX . Just like we agree with Martha Lane Fox’s (ever) wise words in podcast https://lnkd.in/e5JcxtPQ

As wishing you it today, we planted fruit & fir 🌲🌲🌲 for love to know what you did?

Equally as excited to be part of the UK-Malaysia Digital Innovation Programme which culminates the Department for Business and Trade's UK- week (https://lnkd.in/eBu3ktuQ?)

Pitching to the Sunway Group, Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) & technorati for $1 million investment but most importantly pilots for version of our marketplace that let us help those that couldn’t otherwise reduce their carbon footprint for themselves to .. quickly, easily, smartly .. assess, compare, improve it online from all that’s out there. Plus collate , ( , & all) standards (or of any form), along with packages of services' to mitigate for risks found, of any kind e.g. finance, insurance, telecoms, health, education & more. As well as standard, plus enhance exchanges for enforcement of carbon thresholds/credits. Thank you IoT Tribe for all your help! https://lnkd.in/eYs6tRVa? Here's to making history like KL-born Michelle Yeoh at

Happy belated too … to echo NITI Aayog’s Vice-Chair Suman K. Bery and dealmaker Alpesh Patel OBE’s words, India's Infrastructure numbers, sustainability/inclusivity creds are just wow and genuinely make me proud to be of Indian origin… especially proud when taking a picture with Bapu-ji!🤞🏾 for UK- signing soon.

Words can’t describe the wonder that is ! Billion-dollar conglomerates are open to collaborating on on a scale one can’t imagine with progressive targets, on joint use cases not even thought of. Whilst seamlessly weaving in the legacy, culture & heritage of the past as wonderfully articulated by His Excellency Iain Frew, British Ambassador to Vietnam. Made me proud to be British watching the Commonwealth’s Ambassadors laying wreaths at the oldest church in !

2023 marks 50 years of UK-Vietnam diplomatic relations. I'll be back ... for that, if not sooner!

Today is World Thinking Day and the day has been marked in various forms since 1926 by The Scouts and Girlguiding organisations right across the world.

Not only this, but February 22nd is also the birthday of scouting and guiding founder Lord Robert Baden-Powell and Lady Olave Baden-Powell.

The 2022 focus is something very close to our hearts as it is entitled ‘Our World, Our Equal Future’ and addresses the environment and gender equality.

Our innovative system lets customers buy on the green credentials that they are happy with and also gives them the choice to offset the carbon impact of their purchases.

In addition, we’re excited to be launching our carbon saving suppliers plan that was inspired by our attendance of COP26 at the end of 2021. This enables you to see what sustainability data we have for your company as a whole and gives you the option to sell your sell your services under our suppliers NetZero plan!

But that’s not everything!
