Vertical farming is entering a more mature stage. Recent failures, including @Plenty®’s restructuring, signal a necessary correction as the sector shifts from ambitious automation to commercially viable, energy-efficient models. The fundamentals remain strong: higher yields on minimal land, 90% less water use, pesticide-free production and reliable year-round output – all increasingly important as climate pressures challenge global food systems. With governments and retailers seeking greater supply-chain resilience, several operators are now proving profitability at scale. The industry is moving from promise to disciplined execution. Watch our video in partnership with the @Financial Times to explore how vertical farming is evolving: http://spkl.io/6046AdGQQ #farming #sustainability #rethinksustainability #lombardodier

What drives an entrepreneur’s success beyond the business itself? We believe it lies in the ability to make informed, long-term decisions – especially when it comes to valuation, succession or the sale of a company. Through our Corporate Advisory service, we support entrepreneurs through each of these key milestones. We are pleased to share the successful transfer of @Contexa, a leading provider of volumetric dosing solutions for the fragrance and flavour industry, to its management team – @Daniel Schupbach, @Alain Fournier and @Claudia Baldovin. It has been a privilege to advise and accompany the shareholders throughout this transaction. Read more here: http://spkl.io/6046Aj4QE #entrepreneur #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Last week, @Nannette Hechler-Fayd'herbe, Chief Investment Officer EMEA and Head of Investment Strategy, Sustainability and Research at Lombard Odier, joined a fascinating panel discussion organised by @PWM on “Thawing geopolitical relations – China’s comeback for investors.” The conversation explored how global trade alliances might evolve in the wake of Trump 2.0, whether China’s property market is on the path to recovery, and how technological breakthroughs such as DeepSeek’s AI signal long-term investment opportunities. Nannette shared her perspective alongside @Xiaolan Fu, Professor of Technology and International Development at the @University of Oxford; @Manpreet Gill, Chief Investment Officer for Africa, Middle East and Europe at @Standard Chartered; and @Willem Sels, Global Chief Investment Officer for Global Private Banking and Premier Wealth at @HSBC. The discussion was moderated by @Yuri Bender, Editor-in-Chief of PWM. As sentiment shifts and government stimuli boost equities, the question remains: could China re-emerge as a strategic allocation for wealth management portfolios? #rethinkinvestment #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

What does it take to preserve a legacy in a time of unprecedented wealth transition? Across the Gulf, one of the largest intergenerational transfers in modern history is underway. The question is no longer how wealth is created, but how it endures, through structure, dialogue, and shared vision. Yet many families still lack formal succession plans. True continuity depends on good governance, transparency, and collaboration between generations. The next generation is redefining success, seeking purpose, innovation, and impact alongside prosperity. Succession is not an event. It's a mindset that transforms heritage into lasting legacy.

“We’re not chasing quarterly results, we’re building something enduring.” These words from @Zane Poyner, Managing Director at @Ian Williams Ltd, reflect a philosophy that’s been at the heart of the UK-based property services company since 1946. Privately owned, Ian Williams invests deeply in its people: from award-winning apprenticeships to long-term leadership development. The result? A business where unity, opportunity and care for community shape every decision. The company also gives back, donating 1% of annual profits to charity and committing to achieve net-zero emissions across its operations.

Disruption is redefining the insurance landscape. From breakthrough weight loss drugs to climate volatility and advances in artificial intelligence, powerful forces are reshaping how insurers assess and manage risk. Drugs derived from the GLP-1 hormone, which helps regulate appetite and blood sugar, are transforming healthcare by reducing obesity-related diseases. At the same time, extreme weather and emerging digital threats are prompting insurers to shift from reactive coverage to proactive resilience. Together, these trends signal a broader transformation towards a net zero, nature positive, socially constructive and digitally enabled economy.

Our world is ageing. By 2050, more than one in five people worldwide will be aged 60 or above. This shift is fuelling demand for healthcare innovation, with the medical robotics market set to nearly quadruple to USD 63.8 billion by 2032. From exoskeletons to undertaking surgery and routine hospital tasks, robots could ease staff shortages and transform care. Costs, training, and ethical concerns remain, but if these hurdles are overcome, robotics may prove one of the most transformative forces in healthcare this century. @Financial Times #robotics #healthcare #rethinkeverything #lombardodier
