Across North America and Europe, international development budgets are being slashed. Development Finance Institutions need to ensure that every dollar invested delivers maximum possible impact.  Blended finance - where concessionary capital provided by DFIs and others - is used to attract private capital to address acute climate and development needs, is becoming an increasingly important vehicle for doing just that.  In this episode of the Impact = podcast, we speak to Joan Larrea, the CEO of Convergence, the global network for blended finance, on efforts to accelerate the flow of private capital into emerging markets.

Hypercharge CEO David Bibby joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share significant milestones, highlighting the company's record-breaking growth and strategic expansion plans. Headquartered in Vancouver, Hypercharge is Canada's only publicly traded EV charging company, providing turnkey, networked solutions tailored for multifamily residential properties and commercial developments. Bibby outlined Hypercharge's impressive geographic footprint, with operations now spanning eight Canadian provinces, two territories, and 13 U.S. states. This broad reach underscores the growing demand for accessible and reliable EV charging solutions. Bibby emphasized the company's sharp focus on residential charging infrastructure, a sector he sees as essential to the future of electric vehicle adoption. “Most people who drive EVs want to recharge them in their homes,” Bibby explained. By partnering closely with property developers, Hypercharge ensures EV chargers are seamlessly integrated into condominiums, rental units, and multifamily buildings, addressing a critical need for convenience and accessibility among EV owners. A major highlight of Hypercharge's progress is its recent achievement of the highest quarterly revenue in company history. Bibby attributed this success to improving market conditions following a period of economic uncertainty, marked by inflation and rising interest rates. As the EV industry rebounds, Hypercharge has positioned itself to capitalize on increasing demand for sustainable, at-home charging solutions. Looking ahead to 2025, Bibby shared the company's ambitious growth strategy, which includes scaling operations across Canada to further strengthen its domestic presence. The company is looking to accelerating expansion in the U.S. market, tapping into the country's rapid adoption of EV infrastructure. Bibby also said they will be exploring strategic mergers and acquisitions to enhance capabilities, expand market reach, and stay ahead in the competitive EV charging industry. #proactiveinvestors # tsxv #hc #otc #hcnwf #EVCharging #ElectricVehicles #EVGrowth #CleanEnergy #CanadaEV #SustainableTech #EVInfrastructure #TechInnovation #GreenEnergy#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Across North America there are four fundamental issues facing transit agencies:Getting enough busesGetting enough people to fix and drive the busesGetting enough funding to keep running the busesGetting (cyber)secureThe bus manufacturing crisis is forcing many transit agencies to get creative at keeping buses running longer. Workforce shortages mean agencies are getting creative at finding and hiring enough people. With a fiscal cliff looming for many agencies, finding ways to save money and still offer the same level of service means finding some new ways to connect people on something other than a 40 foot bus. And every week someone makes the news for getting hacked, so keeping systems secure is a lot harder than it used to be.Joining Paul on stage for a transit leaders roundtable at TripSpark Ignite are:Pam Shepherd, Executive Director, Federated Transportation Services of the Blue GrassRyan Landers, General Manager Lawton Area TransitRandy Anderson, Operations IT Systems Administrator CityBus – Greater Lafayette Public TransitMatt Maier, Director of Operations Lake TranWhat makes this roundtable unique isn't that they are talking about these issues, but that they've found creative and innovative ways to address them. Learn how:Simple ads on buses are getting more applicationsCreating flexible schedules has brought in a whole new group of driversMaking sure every usable part of a bus at the end of its life is used to extend the service life of the rest of the fleetAuditing your system is the first step to actively preventing hacks on your systemsSit back and enjoy a fun, interesting, and informative discussion about the top issues facing our industry and how four agencies are meeting them head on.Next week on the show we have an interview with Faye DiMassimo. When Paul interviewed her, she was leading Chatham Area Transit in Savannah, Georgia, but since then she has a new job with the City of Savannah. Her job still involves connecting people, but has a much bigger and more interesting mandate than transit alone. It's not often we have an interview where we get to talk with someone before and after a career transition.

Dr. Jenkins sits down with Jenna Palmisano, a Ph.D. Candidate studying parasites in snakes. Focusing on pentastomes, they discuss the species native to North America and how they are different from the exotic invasive pentastome found in Florida. The parasite is thought to have come into North America from exotic snakes that are spreading across Florida, but the parasite has been found much farther north than the snakes that may have brought them in. They discuss how human activities have likely facilitated the move north and ways to potentially deal with the issue. You are not going to miss this one, these parasites have the potential to impact snakes across North America.Connect with Jenna at the University of Central Florida and read more about her research.  Connect with Chris on Facebook, Instagram or at The Orianne Society.Shop Snake Talk merch.

Across North America, native peoples and colonists alike played a variety of kicking games long before soccer's emergence in the late 1800s. Brian D. Bunk examines the development and social impact of these sports through the rise of professional soccer after World War I. As he shows, the various games called football gave women an outlet as athletes and encouraged men to form social bonds based on educational experience, occupation, ethnic identity, or military service. Football also followed young people to college as higher education expanded in the nineteenth century. University play, along with the arrival of immigrants from the British Isles, helped spark the creation of organized soccer in the United States—and the beautiful game's transformation into a truly international sport. A multilayered look at one game's place in American life, From Football to Soccer: The Early History of the Beautiful Game in the United States (University of Illinois Press, 2021) refutes the notion of the U.S. as a land outside of football history.

Across North America, native peoples and colonists alike played a variety of kicking games long before soccer's emergence in the late 1800s. Brian D. Bunk examines the development and social impact of these sports through the rise of professional soccer after World War I. As he shows, the various games called football gave women an outlet as athletes and encouraged men to form social bonds based on educational experience, occupation, ethnic identity, or military service.

Two economists take readers on a tour of the economics of legal and illegal weed, showing where cannabis regulation has gone wrong and how it could do better. Cannabis "legalization" hasn't lived up to the hype. Across North America, investors are reeling, tax collections are below projections, and people are pointing fingers. On the business side, companies have shut down, farms have failed, workers have lost their jobs, and consumers face high prices. Why has legal weed failed to deliver on many of its promises? Can Legal Weed Win? takes on the euphoric claims with straight dope and a full dose of economic reality. This book delivers the unadulterated facts about the new legal segment of one of the world's oldest industries. In witty, accessible prose, economists Robin Goldstein and Daniel Sumner take readers on a whirlwind tour of the economic past, present, and future of legal and illegal weed. Drawing upon reams of data and their own experience working with California cannabis regulators since 2016, Goldstein and Sumner explain why many cannabis businesses and some aspects of legalization fail to measure up, while others occasionally get it right. Their stories stretch from before America's first medical weed dispensaries opened in 1996 through the short-term boom in legal consumption that happened during COVID-19 lockdowns. Can Legal Weed Win? is packed with unexpected insights about how cannabis markets can thrive, how regulators get the laws right or wrong, and what might happen to legal and illegal markets going forward. Robin Goldstein is an economist and author of The Wine Trials, the controversial exposé of wine snobbery that became the world's best-selling guide to cheap wine. He is Director of the Cannabis Economics Group in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California, Davis.
