How do you scale support for smallholder farmers, in hard to reach locations, harvesting a slow maturing crop? Social Impact Pioneer Christina Mawuse Gyisun, Co-Founder of Sommalife, joins us to talk about the shea industry in West Africa and how she and her team are increasing market access, and securing the future of an industry, by better supporting female smallholder farmers. Though women shea nut farmers provide a crucial raw ingredient to the $430 billion beauty industry, many live in extreme poverty, struggle with limited access to markets, and face the devastating impacts of climate change. Sommalifeis changing the game with a bespoke tech platform that digitizes operations, connects farmers to buyers, and empowers them as environmental stewards. The Problem: Systemic Exclusion & Environmental Threats In West Africa, 60 million women smallholder farmers depend on raw commodities like shea nuts for survival. Yet, these farmers are often left out of formal markets, limited to selling their crop for low prices. Meanwhile, the shea tree—a lifeline for many communities—is at risk due to deforestation and vulnerable to climate change. In Ghana alone, 90% of charcoal production comes from shea trees, threatening both economic livelihoods and biodiversity. The Solution: Technology, Traceability & Market Access Sommalife has developed a bespoke digital platform to connect farmers directly to international buyers, ensuring fair prices and financial stability. Since 2020, the enterprise has: ✅ Digitised operations for 110,000 farmers ✅ Increased income by 23% for 40,000 women ✅ Protected 1,500+ acres of shea trees By leveraging AI and traceability technology, Sommalife enables ethical sourcing, ensuring that farmers benefit from global sustainability initiatives. This innovation aligns with the EU's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D), which mandates supply chain transparency. Call to Action: Investing in Social Impact To scale this success, funding, collaboration, and corporate partnerships are crucial. Companies and investors looking to create real change can support ethical sourcing initiatives that protect the environment while improving livelihoods. As a Schwab Foundation Social Entrepreneur of 2025, Mawuse is proving that sustainable business can be profitable and impactful. Will your organisation be part of this movement?

The “Finansialization of Everything” is a term few have heard of. Yet, personalised financial technology – like cryptocurrencies and blockchain – has the power to alter how people regularly interact. Our guest, Emmanuel Daniel, highlights in his book how emerging FinTech and never-before-seen transactions are fundamentally changing the roles of institutions, markets, and the commanding heights of the world economy. His insights provide fintech players with an out-of-box perspective of how they will bring about disruption and innovation.He talks to Regulatory Ramblings host Ajay Shamdasani about: the weaponisation of money; the next financial crisis and the ensuing global economic order; the nature of decentralised finance (DeFi), the lie of financial inclusion, and why he believes central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are doomed to fail.Emmanuel is the founder of The Asian Banker (TAB) and his next book is tentatively titled "The Winning Civilization". It follows the theme of financially driven changes covered in his previous work, "The Great Transition", which was released last year. Much of his writing is based on his three decades of experience founding and running TAB Global as a media, research, and consulting house. Emmanuel has extensive contact with leaders in banking and finance around the world. He won the Citibank Excellence in Business Journalism for Asia in 1999 for his work on the Internet in banking.Useful links in this episode:Emmanuel Daniel's website with book and other links - https://www.emmanueldaniel.com/Multi-CBDC mBridge by BIS Innovation Hub's Bénédicte Nolens - podcast.hkufintech.com Stablecoins: Risks, Potential and Regulation - SSRN Link The Financialization of Crypto: Lessons from FTX and the Crypto Winter of 2022-2023 - SSRN Link Financial Data Governance: The Datafication of Finance, the Rise of Open Banking and the End of the Data Centralization Paradigm - SSRN Link HKU FinTech is the leading fintech research and education in Asia.

Homes, phones, and cars are smarter. Cities and villages are connected. Online platforms and digital tools contribute to efficiencies in vital industries such as waste management, emergency response, and the production of food. We all know that artificial intelligence is on the rise, as is human ingenuity.To leverage human potential and ensure that users in Europe fully benefit from these digital solutions in an informed manner, the EU has paired Europe's digital transition with the provision of digital skills. Under the framework of the 2030 Digital Agenda, the EU has set the target of at least 80% of all adults should have basic digital skills.Those with a digital mindset hardly look to technology to replace people, but to perform their duties safely and more efficiently. This gives time back to staff to innovate and improve their way of working. Technical tools are emerging at impressive rates. Still, European innovators and start-ups need a sufficient labour force to test the efficacy and safety of these new technologies, before they go to European markets, and beyond. EU 27 Unicorns are in the making but need a talent pool.EU's Skills Agenda sets objectives, for the 2023 year of skills, around investments in lifelong learning and ensuring Europe's competitiveness. As digital transitions advance globally, it is increasingly important to ensure that citizens are prepared to navigate the future.Online platforms and distance learning programmes can help those currently active in the labour force surmount barriers to upskilling by eliminating commutes to classrooms and giving full-time professionals the freedom to learn at their own pace. Recognising the disparities in access to educational tools and devices, several telecommunications companies launched initiatives to distribute devices and other learning aids for students and teachers. Still, secure high-quality connectivity is an essential companion to improving digital skills and education. This is especially vital in rural and remote communities.According to the EU proposal to make 2023 the European Year of Skills, only 37% of adults take part in training opportunities on a regular basis. The same document highlights that over 75% of companies in the EU report challenges related to finding staff with appropriate skills. Does this speak to a lack of willingness to upskill or a lack of access and the resulting opportunity loss?This EURACTIV-GIGAEurope Digital Debate addressed the following questions:- Are reskilling and upskilling merely a matter of mindset or are those with a willingness unable to find the right training opportunities?- What is the European Commission doing to raise awareness and ensure that the average EU citizen can avail themselves of the educational opportunities outlined in the European Year of Skills Agenda?- How is the Commission engaging the private sector, specifically the connectivity community?

A seasoned entrepreneur, on today's pod, we spoke to Haoming, the managing director of Huggs Coffee. Prior to joining Huggs Coffee, Haoming was the co-founder of Artbox Singapore and brought Shilin Night Market to local shores too, which we are sure many of us have gone to at least one of their events. When speaking to Haoming, we were intrigued by the way he approaches creative ideas and business models and the many mentions of "first principles" thinking. This podcast is a must-listen for entrepreneurs wanting to make things happen. In today's episode, we covered: Haoming's entrepreneurship journey with Artbox and Invade, and how he managed to convince partners, the government, and consumers to join in on these lifestyle events. How Haoming joined Huggs Coffee and what were the impactful opportunities that he saw then at the heart of the COVID-19 lockdowns. The action plan and strategies for turning Huggs Coffee around and digitalizing the brand through tapping on digital platforms, working on brand and value perception, and more. How Haoming positions Huggs Coffee and fends off "competitors" like Starbucks and Coffee Bean by creating its own niche. Haoming's first few hires to turnaround Huggs Coffee, the advantages of local brands, a unique way of thinking of the franchising business model, and more!

Small Biz Matters – a half hour program each week where you can work ON your business rather than IN it.with Alexi Boyd, broadcaster, advocate and small business owner.Date: 30 June 2020 You may have been distracted by a couple of international crisis’ in the past few months but here we are again; end of financial year! Hopefully 2020 will keep moving this quickly so we can get back to some semblance of normal small business life but in the meantime your requirements haven’t changed as a small business. Single Touch Payroll reporting, super obligations, BAS deadlines and wrapping up your end of financial year finances and still there, whether you’ve bounced back from this weird economy or not. One positive aspect of experiencing a slow down is we can all focus a little more on your admin and bookkeeping and what the EOFY requirements are from the ATO. Joining us today is Andrew Watson, the Assistant Commissioner in charge of Small Business Experience, Small Business, at the Australian Tax Office. He’s going to share with us what the ATO expects, supports and how they assist if you’re one of the many many businesses experiencing hardship. Welcome back to the show Andrew. Topics we’ll be covering: What should small businesses do to prepare for Tax time 2020? Record keeping and who’s responsible for this? Increase in digitising of document and record keeping - recording and reporting are getting faster Mention of e-invoicing How does e-commerce feed into this? Digitised businesses are more likely to keep on top of their obligations New developments in the business platform Typical errors we in EOFY processes inc - apportioning incorrectly business/private especially home office expenses How is this different due to covid. STP Finalisation - how is this different from the old payment summary for the first time Instant asset write-off timings - installed and ready to use rather than when it was ordered and paid for - beware of self assessment. The affect of the supply chain changes Give examples Shout out to bookkeepers & accountants for their help with bringing the legislation to small business What do small businesses need to know about the stimulus packages and EOFY? Coding the stimulus measures on your tax return - Jobkeeper / Cashflow boost credits / talk to your accountant about the state based payments What if a small business is impacted by multiple disasters (i.e. bushfires, COVID-19, and drought)? ATO relief and support thats available - deferments, PAYGI drop to NIL but bear in mind you can’t amend once the next quarter’s BAS is generated Switching from quarterly to monthly Debt relief If they’re not happy with the service then escalate, and of course So how do businesses access this assistance? Through the Business Portal? I’ve heard about myGovID changes. Do Businesses need to use myGOVID to access the Business Portal? Extension to availabilities of the ATO - giving 1800 number out, which is for tailored, specialised support and available indefinitely at the moment. Struggling with different issues like losing homes, losing records Changes to MyGovID system To find out more go to their website: www.ato.gov.au About our Speaker: Andrew Watson is an Assistant Commissioner for the Australian Taxation Office in the Small Business line. He is currently responsible for understanding how small businesses engage with the tax and super systems, collaborating with small businesses, industry groups and government agencies to shape the client experience and drive improved digital services. His area also helps small businesses manage cash-flow and digital readiness so sustainable and viable businesses can thrive, and advocates for small businesses within the ATO.

Eighteen thousand New Zealander's died as a result of their service during the First World War. For their compatriots who survived, their journey of re-integration into the society they had left was a difficult and often lonely path, made even more so by the lack of wider recognition of the ongoing effects these men would suffer from, often for the rest of their lives. Dr Stephen Clarke opens up this "Great Silence" in this discussion of New Zealand's response to the returning WWI soldiers. The closure of the official department for repatriation in 1922 combined with a struggling Returned Services Association meant that ongoing support for soldiers in the interwar period was limited. Though many returned servicemen would reintegrate successfully including significant achievements in business and sport, there were those for whom war service took a high toll.

Our hosts, David M. Brear, Sam Maule and Simon Taylor are joined by two great guests: Ahmed Zaidi CTO at Catalyst AI and Kathryn Harris Innovation Lead at Lloyds Banking Group, to talk about all the latest news in fintech. Including: Starling closes their community. Citing several factors for the move, such as lack of use by most customers, the forum being a distraction for the company from core focus and a vocal minority misunderstanding its purpose. Starling’s post also made reference to banking being a highly regulated environment and forum interaction being restricted by that due to ‘tipping off’ rules. Starling says they remain committed to open conversation with customers and the wider fintech community through other channels such as social media, blog and monthly newsletter. We have a couple of great interviews with Sophie Guibaud, Managing Director for Europe at Fidor and Richard Cook, Online Community Manager from Monzo to get an insight into what communities have provided there. Digitised sexism. It turns out that women entrepreneurs who seek to finance their ventures using bank financing are increasingly forced to find solutions elsewhere. And compared to men, women entrepreneurs are pushed into desperate and extreme types of financing. State of concern. New York state’s top banking regulator on Friday sued the federal government to void its decision to award national bank charters to online lenders and payment companies. Maria Vullo, superintendent of New York’s Department of Financial Services, called the decision by the OCC to let financial technology companies, or fintech firms, obtain charters “lawless, ill-conceived, and destabilizing of financial markets.” The fintech hub to watch. Alipay and China UMS to set up EU hub in Luxembourg. At the end of a week-long mission led by Minister of Finance Pierre Gramegna to Beijing, Hangzhou and Shanghai, China’s Ant Financial confirmed the decision of its payment arm – Alipay - to set up its EU hub in Luxembourg. The announcement comes after China UMS, another major Chinese Fintech company, also announced its choice of Luxembourg. During the visit, several cooperation agreements have been signed. Arizona hits London on a mission to woo UK fintechs.

South African fintech JUMO to expand in Asia with Goldman Sachs backing. South Africa-based financial technology firm JUMO plans to expand in high-growth Asian markets after securing the backing of Goldman Sachs. Since 2014, JUMO, which provides credit and savings products to customers and SMBs through mobile, has mainly focused on Africa where the adoption of mobile money has transformed the banking landscape. We have a great interview with 11:FS' own Lesley-Ann Vaughan to get some deeper insight. Abu Dhabi opens digital sandbox. Abu Dhabi Global Markets (ADGM), the emirate's international financial centre, has further underlined its fintech ambitions with the launch of a digital sandbox. The sandbox is designed to offer banks, fintechs and regulators an open digital marketplace in which to collaborate on the creation, testing and adoption of new products. Mary Meeker, the legendary internet analyst is leaving Kleiner. Meeker’s by far the most senior woman in VC. The departure is rooted in different visions for the types of deals they would like to do. But like so many disputes in recent years at Kleiner Perkins, according to those familiar with the situation, there was also persistent friction between the two sides in ways that had little to do with the firm’s core business — over mundane things such as whether to host a holiday party in San Francisco or closer to Sand Hill Road in Silicon Valley. And finally, the 'first' pub in the UK has gone cashless...and it's near Ipswich. All this and so much more on today's episode of Fintech Insider!

When your data is captured and shared by government, what are the benefits and costs? The Turnbull government touts public and private use of open government data as a wellspring for better public and private service delivery and economic well-being. Digitisation and tracking of government data allows better understanding of causes and solutions to inequities in our changing communities, and consequent adjustment of services and amenities. But use of government data is also encouraged for private profit making business opportunities. Digitised government data may be used well or badly by both government entities and private ventures. Does open government digital data improve equality of access to democracy and its benefits and empower all? Chris Culnane is a Research Fellow in the Department of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne. He has researched electronic voting. He was the technical lead on the SuVote project to design, develop, and deploy an end-to-end verifiable electronic voting system in the 2014 state election in the State of Victoria, Australia. More recently he was part of the team that discovered weaknesses in the anonymisation of the Australian Government MBS/PBS dataset release. The dataset consisted of a 10% sample of Australian Medicare billing records over a 30 year period. He is also interested in how the original notion of open government has morphed into the more general notion of open data. As a result, an increasing number of open government data releases are not about the Government itself, but are instead about the population. Chris says "...an increasing number of open government data releases are not about the Government itself, but are instead about the population. ...Such releases raise important questions about data ownership; does the data belong to the government, or is it merely the custodian? Should data that is collected compulsorily, or via access to essential government services, ever be released as open data, given the lack of an opt-out or alternative? If such data is released, does that mean a greater dependence on government services increases the likelihood of being a subject in a data release, and therefore incurs a greater privacy risk?"

As someone who cares about the environment and social justice you could be excused for feeling a little bit paranoid at the moment. 2015 has seen the Federal government attack the tax-deductibility status of environmental groups, complain about 'lawfare', and try to frame environmental activism as 'violent extremism'. You might just be feeling like the current Federal government wants to silence any opposition on the environmental front.Now new Federal data retention laws have come into effect, mandating telcos and ISPs to collect and store metadata on all customers for two years. With this vast surveillance regime coming into place, we ask: what risk does it pose for activism, and what will be it's effects on social movements and democratic life more broadly.Guests: Scott Ludlam (Greens Senator for W.A.); Tom Sulston (ThoughtWorks)Action:Scott Ludlam's Top Five Tips On Dodging Data Retention Laws (New Matilda)Surveillance Self-defence (EFF)Further reading:What Metadata Retention looks like: Prepare to be shocked (ABC)Data retention will hurt YOU, not criminals.
