The week
Vela in Davos — the week the conversation shifted.
The 2025 World Economic Forum meeting sat at a specific moment: consumer-facing sustainability moving from an ESG line-item into something that had to earn its keep commercially. Vela was in Davos across the week — inside Goals House, and hosted at the Mastercard TechLodge for the Powering the circular economy in the intelligent age roundtable.

Davos does one thing well — it compresses years of conversations into a week.
The Vela conversations that came out of Davos 2025 accelerated the platform: deeper relationships with Mastercard's sustainability team, introductions across the CPG and retail attendees, and a clear read on where large brand budgets were about to move. The commercial validation that filled the 2026 chapters has a direct line back to the week in Davos.
