💫 As this year draws to a close, read our CEO @avilarenata's thoughts on how #TheTechWeWant will be at the centre of everything we do in 2025.

"We will continue to fight for a knowledge society rather than a surveillance society, one that benefits the many rather than the few and is built on the principles of collaboration rather than control, empowerment rather than exploitation, and sharing rather than monopoly."
