9.5.2023 10:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Leading sustainability technology platform, Clarity AI, and leading impact data and intelligence provider, GIST Impact, have announced their latest partnership in the development of a biodiversity impact assessment product. This innovative solution comes at a time when biodiversity-themed funds have gained nearly $1 billion in assets this year, indicating the growing recognition of the financial industry's role in mitigating biodiversity risks.
By utilizing Clarity AI's comprehensive product ecosystem and market-leading coverage along with GIST Impact's 15 years of experience and expertise in biodiversity and impact metrics, the partnership will provide a market-leading solution that helps clients identify and size their exposure to companies that have a negative impact on biodiversity. This will ultimately facilitate informed investment decisions and company engagement practices.
“The imperative for investors to account for biodiversity impacts in their decision-making has never been greater. We’re excited to partner with Clarity AI, combining their deep technology expertise with our industry-leading biodiversity impact methodology and data. Together we’re providing access to credible biodiversity data that is company-specific, geographically accurate, and provides the most holistic coverage of biodiversity impact drivers. This data is critical for effective risk management, and to support action to curb further nature loss,” said Pavan Sukhdev, Founder and CEO, GIST Impact.
This partnership will also ensure that clients are well-equipped for the latest regulatory developments, such as the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).
"Partnering with GIST Impact is a significant step for Clarity AI as it enables us to leverage their extensive experience, knowledge, platforms and data on biodiversity impact assessments. Through this partnership, we can provide our clients with the most accurate and up-to-date information on biodiversity risks, allowing them to make informed investment decisions and engage with companies in a meaningful way," said Angel Agudo, VP of Product and Board Director at Clarity AI.

Geoswift and SKUx Announce Strategic Partnership to Develop a First-of-Its-Kind Programmable Stablecoin Commerce Network29.6.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Geoswift and SKUx announced a groundbreaking partnership to develop a next-generation programmable stablecoin commerce network. This strategic collaboration bridges digital assets, traditional finance, and real-world commerce at a global scale, representing a "one-of-one" opportunity by combining Geoswift's global infrastructure with SKUx's specialized item-level controls directly within point-of-sale (POS) systems. While enterprise stablecoin usage continues to accelerate globally, governments, enterprises, payment networks, and AI-driven commerce platforms are increasingly seeking programmable payment infrastructure that can bridge digital assets with real-world commerce. The innovation goes far beyond treasury management or even enabling consumers to spend stablecoins at retail locations. Instead, it unlocks true "programmable money" with embedded controls, rules, and purpose-driven utility —requiring both programmable settlement and programmable spending controls. Geoswift and SKUx
