Australian startups showcased their ingenuity on the global stage at the World Summit Awards (@WSAoffice) Global Congress 2025 in Hyderabad, India. Purpose-driven Australian ventures like @Cerge_app, @ConsultMed_Au, @Lend4Good, and TraceX by @Powerledger_io earned well-deserved recognition for their innovative solutions in accessibility, inclusivity, ethical investing, healthcare, and sustainability.
The WSA Global Congress brought together a global community of innovators, policymakers, and social entrepreneurs, all working to tackle pressing challenges and address the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Explore the blog to learn how Australian ventures and @WSAaustralia are making waves internationally and shaping a more inclusive, sustainable future through technology: community.socialchangecentra…

Watching a fascinating report from @Year13 on Gen Z consumer behaviour and beliefs.
91% believe business behaving ethically is somewhat, very or extremely important to them.
Almost 3/4 believe businesses should take a stand on political/social issues like The Voice Referendum.

67% of Gen Z respondents will sometimes, often or always research the ethics and social i impacts of a brand before purchase.
Again, much higher for women than men.
