What are SmarterMarkets?

They leverage technology to create markets that are more liquid, transparent, and secure, with lower transactions costs and fewer barriers to entry. Markets that empower individuals to improve their own lives and help us address the biggest challenges that we face as a society — including climate change and the energy transition.

How do we build SmarterMarkets? We’re starting with our weekly podcast exploring how both markets and technology can be redesigned to better serve market participants and society as a whole.

The podcast, presented by Abaxx Technologies, brings together the entrepreneurs, icons, and executives of commodities, capital markets and technology to rant on the inadequacies of our systems and riff on ideas for how to improve them.

So Insightful!

It’s obvious David puts extraordinary effort in covering salient topics and finding guests that are authentic and truly care about being a positive force in this world - the insights they bring to bear are still mind-blowing every. single. time.

Promoting “hydrogen economy”

I can’t believe how ignorant the guests on this carbon obsessed show are.

I listen just to hear their doom and gloom, along with their useless carbon credit schemes and “green hydrogen” garbage.

The fact most guests don’t even mention nuclear as a solution is a complete and total embarrassment to this podcast and its host.

SAARKÉSH ,

Most thorough market analysis

Brilliant series addressing the short term and long term energy strategies as a consequence of geopolitical inaction & incompetencies..

Great questions to great guests with solid honest answers!
