The concept of the circular economy has been gaining a great deal of attention in both business and political discussions lately. This is unsurprising because since the industrial revolution, we have been able to depend on natural resources to achieve economic growth and development and raise the standard of living. But as these resources become scarcer and more expensive, and the over utilisation of these resources is having negative impact on the environment we need to find new ways to create a more sustainable economic growth model that generates more employment and improve competitiveness.
Nexus FrontierTech is an Artificial Intelligence scale up venture that Mark co-founded, which is committed to help businesses of different sizes in various industries to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve new advantages. In recent years, an increasing number of companies are using AI to slash cost, often without sacrificing effectiveness. But many more are now looking into making AI a fundamental part of the developments in new product and service value propositions. Others uses this technology to come up with capability that enables them to innovate. In short, AI is now an indispensable function in any businesses that want to succeed.
