WEEKLY HIGHLIGHT

 

DANA ACCELERATOR LAUNCH

 
 
 
 

We love this time of year. The time of year where we don't know the exact time, date or month.


We write this newsletter from Dibba Bay – in the UAE's Fujairah – over the Eid Al Adha break. See 'Outlook' below for some quality FOMO ;)


And while we are on the subject, Happy Eid! We wish you and all celebrating a blessed and warm time with your family and friends.


Now, back to our usual newsletter service. Our MD hosted some panels at the DANA Accelerator (we talked about that last week) and we've got some footage to share with you. Skip below to have a gander.


In 'Shaping Tomorrow' we've got some key finds which align with our partnership with JTACC (the Joint Taskforce For Anti and Counter Corruption) like the countries at the center of the shark meat trade and what companies are getting canceled for (mostly, mistreating animals).


Further down we look at LA's most iconic example of California bliss to make us swoon through the summer as well as a stirring piece on how after 72 years and billions of interlocking polymer toy bricks, Lego finally has an eco-friendly alternative.


That's all from us this week. We hope you've all had/ are having a well deserved break this summer wherever you are right now.


Team E.


 
 
 
 


Details From The DANA

Accelerator Launch

 

It's incredibly important for regional collaborations and cross-border cooperation on social issues that affect us all. Leah Tedrow hosted several panels at the DANA Accelerator last week, touching on important topics like the fact that the UAE's continued focus on women empowerment in business is cause for resounding applause and replication.


There are currently over 23,000 women employers in the UAE as well as 9 female ministers in the UAE government – and then some. For more amazing facts, watch our MD run through the litany of feats the UAE holds to its name.

OUR DIVERSIONS

 

We know everyone says it's not all work, it's about play, too – and as much as we don't want to sound like a broken record, there is truth in the truism. Like we said earlier, we are all about ingesting the complex and the trivial in equal measure. In fact, we love nothing more than thinking deeply about the more 'playful' things in life. Read ' em and ponder away.
