Wello has researched ways to improve the efficiency of water transport and storage in developing countries to help people who have to walk long distances while carrying buckets of water.

It uses the same principle as the Hippo roller which is currently in use throughout Africa. www.wellowater.org

I received this phone charger at the CFO Forum this week sponsored by EY and arranged by Connect Events. It's the best gift I've ever received at a conference because it's so useful. It's a phone charger with a cord that I can plug in to charge my phone as well as the charger. And it's very easy to carry in my bag.
Recent research has shown that Millennial Australians (18 - 35 years old) ? are three times more likely to buy pre-prepared vegetables than the average shopper, and while frozen food is still a popular option for them, many feel as though they?re compromising on taste and quality if they buy frozen vegetables, leading to the relatively strong preference for fresh, pre-prepared options. This is good news for people concerned that unhealthy diets are leading to health problems such as diabetes. https://insidefmcg.com.au/2016/05/23/fresh-is-best-for-millennial-shoppers/
