cross-border remittance via banks and various modes for top-up and cash pickup.

Earlier, Max served as a founding member and portfolio manager of the Special

team that sourced, structured, invested, and managed assets across the capital

structure.

Genki Oda Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Remixpoint,

Japan

Genki Oda is the serial entrepreneur. I have changed the era in many meanings. I

founded my first company when I was the University Student. I sell-offs my business and

invest many venture companies in Japan. At that time, 2002-2004year, in Japan most

venture capital required the venture company to show the phase 3 worth financial

statements and the performances. But I thought it was wrong. From my own

experiences, most venture companies don't have the performances. They just have the

passion and plan , and they need the money. I invest for the entrepreneurs who don't

have the evidence or the performances even don't have the company yet. My work have

succeeded and many venture capital imitative the start-up venture capital now. So,

today in Japan the number of the venture company is increasing.

Second, I familiarized the concept of the Social Entrepreneur. I have donated and

supported many NPOs and the social entrepreneurs and generated their activities

through many media. I was the first member of the Ashoka Japan and the Social Venture

Partners Tokyo-Bay. With my works, today working in the NPOs has become one of the

choice for the students. Today, I challenge the revitalization for company and

entrepreneurs. Most Japanese think the failure is critical and regard the failed people as

a garbage. But I think everyone have a mistake and sometimes unfortunately one

mistake is critical one. I want to change the mind for the failure. I have revived the

Remixpoint which is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange markets and the market

capitalization have raised from 400million JPY to 100Billion JPY in this 5 years. And the

Remixpoint is the attention as the successful company.

causes he supports mark him out from a field that is normally bound by national

boundaries and often by ideology. As an example, what he has achieved through the

Global Education & Skills Forum is truly unique and special, convening a vast range of

people of all backgrounds and disciplines, shepherding the conversation to achieve a

consensus on the inclusion of the teacher workforce in determining the strategies of

education organisations. The way in which he approaches coalition building has resulted

in successful partnerships, engaging organisations such as Education International â€“

the international alliance of teacher unions â€“ to the opposite spectrum of for-profit

providers in education, bringing them onto a shared platform for dialogue, supporting

and strengthening public education systems.

As a result of him driving conversations about teachers, several globally renowned

organisations have added the teacher workforce to their considerations, whether they

be bilateral and multilateral donor organisations, philanthropic institutions, bodies such

as the United Nations or organisations further afield including private sector

organisations focused on human capital development. His advocacy has resulted in more

investment in capacity building programmes.

Not only has he been an ardent champion and advocate but has also invested in and

built institutions that will long outlive him and those associated with them. Equally, we

are already seeing the positive results from his commitment to good governance, ethics

and long termism, that will continue to experience the benefit of these in all parts of the

world as his work resonates and speaks volumes in some of the most challenging

contexts.

Danae Ringelmann Founder and Chief Development Officer,

Indiegogo, USA

I am an entrepreneur, advisor, board member and public speaker who has dedicated the

majority of my work in service of entrepreneurs bringing innovation, collaboration,

empathy and a sustainability mindset to the worldâ€™s most urgent challenges.

Inspired and dedicated to solving the inequity and disparity in access to capital I co-

founded Indiegogo - the San Francisco tech start-up credited with inventing perk-based

crowdfunding. Nearly $2 billion crowd-funded dollars later, innovators across the world

(of which over 40% are women) are improving health & wellbeing, taking on climate

change, revitalizing our natural food systems, and tackling many of the UN's Sustainable

Development Goals.

The enormous breadth of solutions launched and enabled on Indiegogo and catalyzed

via the crowdfunding mechanism is by far the most humbling and rewarding part of my

entrepreneurial adventure to date. Starting a company that has consistently lead the

industry in gender diversity (upwards of 50% female) is up there too.

And as with all worthwhile journeys, I experienced struggles and evolved as an

entrepreneur and executive along the way. Today I share my learnings and perspectives

as a Board Member and Advisor to entre- and intrapreneurs looking to bring their

important innovations to life.

Currently I'm particularly interested in efforts to scale and advance personalized health,

regenerative agriculture, empowerment of women & girls, workplace diversity &

inclusion, attentional management, and mindful human development.

As a meta-pursuit, I co-own Huso Lodge - a boutique hotel and company retreat center

in the mountains of Norway. Huso offers guests an opportunity to reconnect with

untouched nature as well as their own authentic nature. In line with putting my

innovation advisory efforts towards my deep interest in helping to clean up our bodies,

minds and environment, I'm hoping Huso Lodge becomes a place for others to

rediscover and act on their genuine interests too.

the margins and left out. That made him more determined to be himself. Thatâ€™s why

he grew up to defend the rights of others to be seen and heard for themselves. Jagmeet

went to law school to stack his tool box to fight the powerful forces of poverty and

racism. As a lawyer, he knew he could help those with little power and money to assert

their own rights. He campaigned with anti-poverty groups and immigrant and refugee

organizations for changes that would make peopleâ€™s lives better. As a young man, his

father became ill and he had to step up to care for his family. He experienced precarity

and understood how important it is to have people around who care and can help.

Thatâ€™s just one of the reasons why he wants to help others. Jagmeet decided to run

for office because too many government choices were hurting people, rather than

helping them get ahead. As an MPP, Jagmeet took on auto insurance companies to end

the exploitation of people. He fought for fair coverage at a fair price. Jagmeet also

fought for workers at temporary job agencies so that they could get the security they

deserve. He was tenacious about convincing the government to commit to ending

arbitrary street checks or â€˜cardingâ€™. As Leader of Canadaâ€™s NDP, Jagmeet

believes that how we pay for and deliver services to Canadians must work everyone.
