Webinar: Investing in the Sustainable Future of Food and Education Tech / Digital Learning
Rahul Bhushan and Stuart Forbes, Co-Founders of Rize ETF, introduce you to these two new ground-breaking and inherently positive investment themes – both of which are the first-of-their-kind in Europe.
Sustainable Future of Food
The security of our food system is one of the world’s most pressing challenges. With dwindling natural resources, the challenge of providing healthy, affordable and nutritious food to a growing global population – all while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and environmental harm – is intensifying. The food industry has started to respond, expanding plant-based protein options and increasing the sustainability of farming and aquaculture, and improving supply-chains and packaging. Consumers too, have become more concerned about food safety and the provenance of what they eat. The global food system now requires urgent transformation if we want to avoid the sorts of planetary damage that awaits if we do nothing – loss of biodiversity, freshwater depletion, pollution of our rivers and oceans and enduring damage to our soils. The good news is that system-wide and holistic change comes with new investment opportunities.
Education Tech / Digital Learning
Technology has the potential to tackle major challenges faced by the education sector. From promoting accessibility and inclusion, to empowering institutions and teachers, to supporting excellent student learning and outcomes. We must build an education system that is more inclusive, no longer confined to the classroom, and which can transform all learners into lifelong learners. At a time of unprecedented automation, reskilling and upskilling are vital, and advanced technologies such as gamification, virtual and augmented reality, and personalised and adaptive learning allow education to be tailored to people’s needs. Investors can now invest in the companies that are using technology to best prepare the workforce of tomorrow.
