Uber has fundamentally made cities more livable. We've created transportation systems where none existed before and generated millions of jobs, offering flexible work options for many. We've enhanced global travel, reduced drunk driving by providing reliable alternatives, and are now leading the green transition. Our impact spans creating job opportunities, transforming urban mobility, and contributing to global climate targets. The changes we've made have set the stage for even more impactful developments in the future.

Consumer engagement is vital for achieving true circularity in packaging. Making recycling easy and transparent is essential for fostering consumer participation. Just as clear instructions on food packaging help consumers prepare meals, providing straightforward recycling guidelines can improve recycling rates.

Energy Storage Coalition

2024-09-09

By having sufficient energy storage capacity, we can avoid wasting renewable energy and decrease our reliance on fossil fuels. Energy storage provides the flexibility needed to integrate more renewables into the energy system, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Ana Cabral

Aura Minerals

2024-09-07

Our first priority is to execute the projects we are building and those planned. We aim to increase production from 235,000 ounces to 450,000 ounces, driven by developing three greenfield projects. Almas is already built, Borborema is under construction, and Matupá will follow. Timely and budget-efficient execution is crucial.

Flair Airlines

2024-09-07

Last summer, there were three ultra-low-cost carriers in Canada: Flair, Swoop, and Lynx. Now, there are three legacy carriers—Air Canada, WestJet, and Porter—and Flair is the only remaining ultra-low-cost carrier. The competitive environment is intense for such a small country. The main challenge isn’t competition from other airlines but rather the aviation ecosystem within Canada. The regulations, policy, infrastructure, and costs are built around the legacy business models of Air Canada and WestJet, making it difficult to maintain low fares due to high airport fees and taxes.

Steve Muenzberg

Founder & President

TLG Aerospace

2024-09-07

A major challenge is clients underestimating the engineering expertise required, trying to do it themselves, and then calling us after spending all their money. We aim to get involved earlier in projects to help avoid costly mistakes. Another challenge is the talent gap. Aerospace engineering used to attract top talent, but now many engineers are drawn to other tech fields like AI.

Sassie Duggleby

Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Venus Aerospace

2024-09-07

For high-speed travel to exist, a new type of engine is needed. Jet turbines can only reach certain speeds before temperature issues arise. Our premise is to use a rocket engine instead, and we are commercializing the world's most efficient rocket engine, which can make San Francisco to Tokyo possible in under an hour.

Matthew Kuta

Co-Founder & President

Voyager Space

2024-09-07

Space is inherently more challenging than aviation due to factors like radiation, extreme speeds, and temperatures. However, we've now reached an inflection point where space tourism and commercial missions are becoming more common. Technology has advanced and the cost of launches has decreased significantly, making space more accessible. In our lifetime, we will likely see the number of people who have flown into space increase from hundreds to thousands.
