More updates to follow shortly, but now back to enjoying the The Economist World Ocean Conference.

Supporting AI Ventures with Pro Bono Legal Expertise – Sustain. AI x Hogan Lovells - HL BaSE Last Thursday, we hosted our pro bono legal Catalyst workshop in collaboration with Hogan Lovells - HL BaSE, providing essential legal support to our Sustain. AI cohort.
