Global Interconnection Group becomes listed on the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange
Congratulations to our friends at GIG for their listing on the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange today.
It’s great to see this energy initiative growing its business. With countries focused on the path to net zero, interconnectors (big transmission cables that move energy between neighbouring countries) and interconnected grids are a key component in global energy strategies. They enable excess power, e.g. from wind and solar farms, to be traded and shared between countries so that renewable energy isn’t wasted and the power system is greener and more efficient. They can help to lower electricity supply prices for consumers.
Global Interconnection Group's platform brings together cable manufacturers, interconnector operators and grid operators, to service, supply and invest in underwater cables and other energy transmission projects. We provided the design support GIG needed to achieve the listing, creating the branding and designing and building its new digital presence. Plus a big flag!

Healthcare UK: Healthy Ageing campaign launched
The global population is continuing to age, with the pace of ageing increasing rapidly.

Globally, this age group will outnumber youth, and the increase will be greatest and fastest in the developing world – a very hot topic, and one that is a priority for countries across the globe.
We are proud to have launched a thought leadership campaign on behalf of Healthcare UK and the government that frames this global issue and discovers points of action. Read more in the case study here.
