Good to see you Sean and Jessica Hi, hello. Hi, Mike. Hi Sean Nice to see you good evening. Let me just good evening. How late is it for you now? It's 10 30
Thanks for accommodating to make this happen our earlier. I know it used to be 11 for you guys. We're happy to facilitate it. It's good to have you on. It's good to be talking together. Yeah, Martin should be joining in a bit.
I think he has problem joining the Twitter space. Yeah, my Twitter was also acting a bit
weird actually so it might be something to do with Twitter. It took me a long time to start this space for some reason. And I don't seem to be many people coming in. So I'm not quite sure what's going on.
So since this space is being recorded, I guess we can start chatting a little bit already. Just that this super series
here what you've been up to since the last time we spoke and yeah how are things? Hi, yeah sure, great, yeah we have been just talking with Wayne this afternoon for our sprint review meeting.
Yeah, so maybe I can start introducing myself a bit and then IDCC, the history and background of it. Yeah, is that good? Definitely. Okay, cool. Yeah, so I'm the confetti.
I'm also a founder of IDCC and also a member from Shenzai City. And I'm also part of teaching in Urban Design program in the architecture school of CHK. So I myself is actually not a tech person. I was trained as an architect and
urban designer and have been working in large scale urban planning as well as some bottom-up community initiatives back in the years. Then I started working with Shanzai made me to focus more on data-driven design as well as technology solutions for
sustainable developments. Yeah, so I think since then I have translated a lot of my design thinking skills and stakeholder engagement capacity in my earlier design training into my current work that I'm now doing in IDCC and Shenzai.
So that's a bit of myself. And then so about IDCC. So before talking about IDCC, I should have mentioned Shanzai because I've been I joined Shanzai for a couple of years now and
Shanzai have been also working with EXO for a few years. Back then, there was an IDCC yet, so it's just Shanzai working with some key stakeholders in a social sector in Hong Kong, and soon realized that there's a huge demand in
impact measurement and also, and I would say an impact data platform that can truly enable the key stakeholders to manage their own data collectively with trust and accountability. So while on the other hand, we
have been working with EXO and we knew about this amazing tech team, EXO and Sean in person. So we have been developing applications on blockchain for verifiable impact claims, impact certificates, and
impact tokens for years. So we see this opportunity of bringing Shanxi and XO together. And then thanks to SIE Fund, one of the major government funds for social sector here in Hong Kong to make this happen.
in IDCC. Yeah, so that's how we get the IDCC started back in 2020 as a non-profit civic data platform. Origin, no initiated by Shansai City.
And together with nine key impact intermediaries of Hong Kong to serve the whole social sector for measuring impacts. So to give you a little bit of context, this intermediaries are quite diverse in background. So
