Solving Problems With Purpose

Today, on Open for Business, we speak with SEEd.Lab, QuinTerra and ArtsProud , three entities using business as a force for good.

QuinTerra is tackling food waste by using black soldier flies to break down organic waste, paired with aquaponic farming to grow food more sustainably. Meanwhile, ArtsProud helps seniors reconnect through the power of art. Using music, movement, and creativity, their programmes lift spirits, sharpen minds, and combat loneliness. And at the heart of it all is SEEd.Lab, the platform helping ideas like these grow into real-world solutions. This is a conversation about purpose, passion, and solving everyday problems in ways that make life a little better for everyone.
