– First-of-its-kind index will validate sustainability data for flexible workspace providers–

LONDON, Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The Instant Group, the largest global marketplace for flexible workspace, has launched the Sustainability Index, a unique platform that ensures quality data on building performance, helping operators and occupiers track and report on their sustainability initiatives, in a first for the sector.

 

Transparent and proactive data sharing around flexible workspace is needed to advance the reduction of carbon emissions.

To learn more about this, watch Instant’s Sustainability Index video or visit The Instant Group’s Sustainability Index.

Sustainability is high on the real estate agenda and reporting is becoming mandatory. There is a need for transparent and proactive data sharing around flexible workspace to advance the reduction of carbon emissions. Research conducted by Incendium Consulting, part of The Instant Group, has found that traditional leased office space creates 158% more emissions per occupier than flex space.

Occupiers are increasingly prioritising net zero initiatives, with the number of companies setting net zero goals doubling between 2021 and 2023 globally according to the Net Zero tracker database. 

Sam Pickering, Head of Sustainability at The Instant Group, said: “Sustainability has unquestionably become a business imperative. With companies working more flexibly and real estate accounting for between 28% and 40% of carbon emissions globally, we believe that flex space forms a significant part of the net-zero strategy for the built environment.”

Landmark, a UK-based flexible workspace operator with over 20 sites, has adopted the Sustainability Index as a founding partner.

Ed Cowell, CEO, Landmark said: “The Sustainability Index is a fantastic initiative which is leading the charge on providing transparency around sustainability data in the flex sector. We’re pleased to have signed up at launch and look forward to seeing further adoption across the industry in the collaborative push towards net zero.”

Instant has over 3,000 workspaces globally on its Sustainability Index. They enable over 250,000 organisations around the world to work smarter, offering expert consulting services on portfolio strategy, procurement, sustainability, and delivering the latest data and insights on the flex market.

Published

By

DUBAI, UAE, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Crypto Content Creator Campus (CCCC), supported by Bybit, will launch a special pilot edition in Bali from April 10 to 13, 2025.

Asia as the Heartbeat of the Crypto Content Revolution

Much like the precision and strategy favored by Mandarin-speaking traders, this Crypto Ark is being constructed with knowledge, integrity, and collaboration. Bybit’s focus remains on laying a resilient foundation for the future of crypto content.

With a curated, high-touch environment and a program rooted in education, collaboration, and growth, CCCC Bali 2025 marks a significant moment at the crossroads of crypto, content, and culture. And Bybit is honored to be helping build it—bit by bit.

Incuvio Health Launches to Help Payers and Providers Win in Value-Based Care

Published

on

By

LOS ANGELES, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — After years of navigating the complexities of payer systems, provider networks, and health tech innovation, a group of healthcare operators is launching something different: Incuvio Health, a technology consulting and advisory firm that blends real-world expertise with artificial intelligence (AI) and scalable implementation, to help payers, providers, and sponsors succeed in value-based care (VBC).

Founder and Managing Partner of Incuvio Health Unmesh Srivastava has spent his career leading digital transformation from inside the healthcare system. As a former CTO at Clever Care Health Plan, P3 Health Partners, and Optum, Srivastava saw firsthand how strategy often stalled at execution and how most consulting firms like the Big 4 delivered frameworks, not outcomes.

“I’ve lived the challenges that payers and providers face,” said Srivastava. “Technology infrastructure that doesn’t communicate properly, outdated data, strategy decks that sit untouched. We’re flipping the model by using our deep subject-matter expertise to guide decisions and AI to move faster, smarter, and more precisely.”

Incuvio believes people designing the future of healthcare should be those who have built it. The company comprises former executives from payers, provider networks, and private equity-backed healthcare organizations, including Co-Founder and CTO Christopher Pempsell, COO Alexis Pezzullo, SVP of Strategy and Transformation Kaliegh Taylor, VP of Data Engineering Ken Tennison, and VP of Program Delivery Wendy Masloski.

Incuvio taps into its industry expert network of CEOs and ex-leaders who have driven large-scale transformation, including Senior Clinical Advisor Dr. Mona Bambha, and VBC Strategic Advisor Leigh Hutchins.

Incuvio’s experts use proprietary tools and machine learning to uncover hidden inefficiencies, data silos, and broken workflows. From discovery, the firm builds predictive impact models and forecasting outcomes before investment. Where most firms stop, Incuvio goes further: driving scaled implementation to ensure measurable value. 

Since its soft launch, Incuvio has been tapped by leading payers, multi-specialty provider groups, and health tech companies to lead transformations in VBC enablement, population health modernization, contract optimization, and AI-powered risk and cost analytics.

About Incuvio Health

Incuvio Health is a healthcare technology consulting and advisory firm built by operators, not consultants. The company empowers payers, providers, and sponsors to succeed in VBC through intelligent strategy, deep domain expertise, AI-powered insights, and scalable execution. Incuvio closes the gap between what healthcare needs and what it gets, with outcomes that speak for themselves. To learn more, visit https://incuvio.com/.

NORTH BILLERICA, Mass.  , April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SoapBox Labs, a Curriculum Associates company, has been awarded Digital Promise’s prestigious Responsibly Designed AI product certification for its groundbreaking use of speech recognition technology in education. This certification recognizes SoapBox Labs’ commitment to developing AI-driven solutions that support secure and effective learning experiences for students and educators and is the second Digital Promise certification earned by the company for its development of responsible AI.  

Curriculum Associates is currently working at integrating SoapBox’s voice engine with its award-winning assessment and instruction platform, i-Ready. This integration will allow children to read aloud while the technology listens, analyzes, and provides timely feedback on pronunciation, fluency, and accuracy. For teachers, this will mean more actionable insights into individual student needs and more time for personalized instruction. Designed for young voices and noisy classrooms, the SoapBox voice engine has been built to understand children’s wide-ranging speech patterns and accents. 

Curriculum Associates is engaged in an intentional co-design approach to AI, working hand in hand with educators and students so that solutions are tailored to support their daily work and are underpinned by evidence-based, research-driven practices.  

“This recognition for SoapBox’s voice engine is more than an accolade—it’s validation that AI in education must be designed with responsibility as its foundation,” said Kelly Sia, CEO of Curriculum Associates. “AI tailored specifically for the classroom will further accelerate learning for all readers and provide multilingual students new pathways for expression, all while giving teachers back precious instructional time.” 

Digital Promise’s certification process was co-designed with 39 district leaders across states, instructional technologists and other school staff, AI researchers, and edtech product teams. The designers prioritized fairness, security, and student-centered outcomes when evaluating AI tools. By earning this certification, SoapBox Labs strengthens Curriculum Associates’ position as a trusted partner, delivering ethical, transparent, and effective AI-powered educational solutions to the schools and districts we serve across the country. 

“This certification celebrates our passion for building AI that illuminates new learning pathways for every student—tools that recognize individual learning styles, safeguard privacy, and transform rigorous research into classroom applications that teachers can trust with confidence,” said Amelia Kelly, CTO of SoapBox Labs. 

Digital Promise’s rigorous evaluation criteria include data privacy, algorithmic fairness, transparency, and proven educational effectiveness. These criteria ensure that only AI solutions meeting the highest ethical standards receive this distinction. Educators and district leaders will now have a benchmark when selecting ethical AI products to use in their classrooms.
