World Economic Forum Video: Finfluencer Advice Revolution & Start-Up Grows Veg in Supermarkets | WEF | Top Stories of the Week
This week's top stories of the week include:
0:15 Finfluencer financial advice revolution – A finfluencer is a content creator on social media who shares information on budgeting, saving and financial investments, among other topics. Finfluencers use blogs, podcasts or videos to get their message out. They help widen financial access to groups who didn’t have it before.
3:49 These vegetables grow in-store without soil – Instead of soil, they use plugs of rockwool, irrigated with nutrient-rich water in a method called hydroponics. They come in different sizes producing from 2,000 to 15,000 plants monthly. These farms have a tiny environmental footprint. The largest models can grow as much as a 3-hectare farm.
5:44 Telehealth platform empowers millions – Altibbi offers 24/7 access to online doctors along with accessible, up-to-date medical information. It offers a cheaper, more accessible alternative to in-person consultations but it also aims to ‘change the narrative’ around the patient-doctor relationship.
8:43 ‘Underwater tractors’ replant seagrass – They were created by Reefgen, an UpLink Top Innovator. The robot scoots over the seabed, steadily and carefully restoring the ecosystem. Reefgen’s technology aims to aid conservation efforts by augmenting the efforts of human restorers.

World Economic Forum Video: How to build the first commercial space station -- and what's needed to live and work in space
Humans have learned to survive in space. But as Tejpaul Bhatia reminded Meet the Leader, it’s time to learn how to live, work and thrive. One step towards that goal is Axiom Station, the first commercial space station. With the International Space Station due to be decommissioned, he explains how Axiom Station will build on decades of lessons learned for a future ready station factoring in principles of ergonomic and industrial design and planned to adapt to new technologies and needs. And while it employs its share of former astronauts and rocket scientists, this unique company also designs space suits - like the one for the upcoming Artemis moon mission set for 2025. This means it also counts sewers and costumers from places like Cirque du Soleil on its team – people who understand performance fabrics and who have the skill sets to hand sew parts of uniforms that can’t be tackled with a machine. He’ll share how this incredibly diverse group works together and how learning how to tap such a range of skillsets is a window into the unique pioneering collaborations that will drive the space economy.

World Economic Forum Video: Growth for Green Jobs in 2023 & Cash Hoarding Affects EU Growth | WEF | Top Stories of the Week
This week's top stories of the week include:
0:15 2023 saw highest growth for green jobs – The number of renewable jobs worldwide shot up by 18% last year, from 13.7 million in 2022 to 16.2 million in 2023. The rise was driven by the global surge in renewable generation capacity as well as continued growth in equipment manufacturing, according to a new report from IRENA and the ILO.
1:59 4 ways AI could save your life – AI can enable personalized care based on health risks in your local area. Mayo Clinic in the US has developed an AI-powered index which uses publicly available housing data to identify patients’ socio-economic situations so this information can be built into their healthcare provision.
5:38 Bridging the gender care gap at work – Caregiving is not shared equally between men and women. Women on average perform 4 times more unpaid care work than men, and they’re more likely than men to step back from their careers to act as caregivers. How can employers can help men and women close this gap?
8:43 Cash hoarding affects EU growth – Households in Europe are saving at their highest rate in years. This behaviour is measured by the household investment rate, which fell to 9.5% across the EU in the first quarter of 2024, its lowest level since 2021. Economic anxiety has also played a role in the rise in saving rates.
