Gloat is making a tangible impact on the Social aspects of the ESG framework and considerations. Gloat’s industry-leading Workforce Agility platform leverages AI (Artificial Intelligence) to incorporate skill-to-opportunity mapping, neural networks, and anti-bias mitigation to match individuals to opportunities within a company. It allows workers to connect to “gigs” in a different functional area from their team and to meet up with mentors from a separate office or geography or better understand the right upskilling and reskilling initiatives to help them realize their ideal career path.

Gloat unlocks thousands of hours of productivity for Fortune 500 companies. Not only does this mean that a company uses its existing workforce more efficiently, raising productivity, but it also brings opportunities to people who may never have had them. It, therefore, results in increased employee satisfaction with career and development opportunities, as shown in employee surveys.

Weka - a leading deep tech company that is revolutionizing the Distributed File Systems Object Storage category and, by doing so, paving the way for sustainable infrastructure.

As enterprise AI takes off and data generation increases exponentially, unstructured data is growing rapidly. According to IDC, the amount of data created, copied, and consumed grew from 2 zettabytes in 2010 to 97 in 2022 and will rise to over 180 by 2025. This massive amount of data means exponentially increasing energy usage, and technologies must be sought to limit the impact on energy consumption. Data centers currently consume 2% of global energy (equivalent to Australia); and by 2030, this could be ~8% of global energy use. This means that companies must process and manage data in the most effective manner. Weka's software solution is able to deliver up to 50x improved performance compared to best-of-breed technologies, drastically reducing energy usage.
