Driving a Digital Ecology Relay: What is at Stake

THE PORT GLOBAL, GLOBAL PORTAL INSTITUTE
No ecology, no economy. No biosphere, no business. Today, nature-based innovations are leading the way in integrative approaches that apply precious climate assets towards modern market applications, scaling successful millennia frameworks that parallel biodiversity adaptation. Humanity holds the key to a legacy that is its own, translating vital resources into commodities with nature-based elements driving trillion-dollar economies.
From the historical and geographical heart of both the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania, we can now leverage the solutions that have already been in existence since the wild beginning of mankind. This conversation brings to discussion something bigger than the market, something that is not a challenge for tomorrow but an immediate urgency that starts here at the crossroads of tech and new models of transmission of threatened millenary intelligence, to scale longevity and dividends rather than disappearance.
Following presentations at Climate Week NYC and the Davos World Biodiversity Forum, and ahead of COP 30 in the Amazon, this session held by the Global Portal institute* in partnership with The Port Global** will explore these respective leverages, including:
— A global Nest-Work mapping strategic human-environment interactions to encode biodiversity and reinforce adaptive actions;
— The establishment of platforms across Diasporic communities for knowledge transfer, impact, and investment;
— The enabling of legacy practices and tools to properly value and scale critical resources.
This international event, taking place for the United Nations International Day of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, will be broadcast between the Americas and Asia from Los Angeles, São Paulo, and Athens (Greece).
--- SPEAKERS (ANNOUNCED SOON) ---
Crucial millenary regions’ commitments toward disruptive technologies in their fields — particularly in agriculture, climate, energy, and logistics shared between the Mediterranean and the Amazon Basin — combined with the wake-up call of current natural disasters, bring together the most precise combination of representatives from civil society, policy-makers, industry leaders.
After embracing these issues creating meaningful local connections for innovation and network reinforcing strategic actions for nearly a decade, The Port Global has partnered with GPI to leverage the next major opportunity: the millenary praxis held by the Hellenic Republic, in parallel to other long-standing civilizations.
Speakers with experience at the intersection of digital development and environmental education will highlight the essential elements that can already be applied to businesses, markets, and other ecosystems.
--- ABOUT THE HOSTS ---
*The GLOBAL PORTAL INSTITUTE (GPI) is a research institution based between New York, the Amazon rainforest and Greece, providing up-to-date diagnoses of critical resources and new standards analysis, partnering with markets, ministries, and stakeholders across the supply chain to develop actionable frameworks enabling the scale of climate innovation across communities and markets through cross-disciplinary cooperation.

Engineering Leaders × LLMs | Dinner by Optimal AI
You’re invited to an intimate, three-course dinner on Wednesday, October 8 at 6:00 PM, hosted at the Financial District in SF.
Optimal AI is bringing together a small group of engineering leaders across San Francisco to explore how LLMs are changing the way teams build, secure, and scale software. From AI-powered code reviews to security automation, this will be an off-the-record conversation around what’s working, what’s hype, and what’s next.
Expect perspectives from leaders at fast growing startups and Fortune 500 co's, as we trade notes on:
- Where LLMs are truly saving time (and where they aren't)
- Security risks that are often overlooked
- What internal tools and processes teams are building around AI
- What PR review and debugging might look like in 6 months
Optimal AI is the team behind Optibot, a multi-agent system designed to act as your engineering team's fastest, most consistent code reviewer—automating reviews with deep context and surfacing security issues early across repos. Customers include MongoDB, Prometric and Mpulse.

Designing the Next 3–6 Months of Your Legacy Life
This hybrid panel + experience is designed for senior leaders, creative founders, and former executives navigating a life or identity transition. The event kicks off with a high-impact panel titled "Legacy Redefined: Reinvention at the Peak of Power" featuring a curated lineup of luminary speakers — including ex-CEOs, former policymakers, creative founders, and senior educators — who’ve successfully pivoted into legacy-building roles.
Following the panel, attendees will join guided breakout sprints (virtual and in-person pods) where they’ll design their next chapter using AI-assisted templates and a custom-designed legacy workbook. In the final hour, select participants can pitch or demo what they’re launching next — whether it’s a venture, book, initiative, or personal project — with feedback from impact investors, legacy builders, and transition coaches.
What makes it special:
It’s more than a conversation — it’s a transition container. Attendees leave with a personal roadmap for the next 3–6 months of their legacy, practical feedback from experts, and curated connections with fellow high-caliber leaders also in reinvention.
