Many thanks to Pat Dambe for reposting this. My knowledge about the natural diamond industry at the mining level is limited but it is certainly refreshing to listen to the Botswana President who speaks with such clarity and conviction about his position on certain issues. Lightbox was a big mistake. And yet Al Cook is still not ready to get rid of Lightbox. I do not understand the logic that De beers needs to be in the LGD retailing business to understand it. Time and time again De beers efforts to undermine the LGD category has backfired. Lightbox has no standing in the LGD category. It is not a credible player. Al Cook’s favorite word is “bifurcation” what does it really mean ? It is a given in consumers goods that the same product can have different price points that are intended to appeal to different segments of the market. The price itself does not change the product nature. I can buy a baguette for HKD 50 or a baguette for HD 30 in Hong Kong from two bakeries. One has a French name and one is a local brand. Is that “bifurcation” ? Martin Rapaport latest stance is that naturals are for rich people and LGD are for poor people. No one is talking about the fact that it is highly likely that somehow all the Russian diamonds will find a way into the market so it is likely that the natural diamond polished market itself will have two tiers. Russian goods and other non sanctioned goods. Consumers will not be able to tell which is which. Consumers will be confused and wary. I also do not understand how some naturals from Botswana will be branded as Botswana diamond and some won’t. De beers will also brand their diamonds as such or via Tracr. So why not get De beers to agree that all diamonds from Bostwana should be marketed as Bostwana diamonds. This is all very very confusing. Bostwana needs to be more firm with De beers. The President says he is does not agree with some of the Db strategy. Well don’t sign the new agreement with DB until the issues are dealt with. Why get married when there are already disagreements ? It will get worse and not better. Al Cook is a lost soul. He is flipping and flopping. In the latest FT article he wants 1000 retail store. Is Forevermark in China or not or will it be only in India. There is so many variations that has been reported. Can Al Cook even remember all the different versions in his myriads of interviews ? The media just sucks it up. Incredible and sloppy journalism. Can someone fact check what Al is saying to different media in different interviews ?

One of the pleasant notes of fine spirits bottles is to taste them as well as invest in them! We do believe that the knowledge of the good we are investing in, is the basis for deciding to invest in it.

Reflecting on our journey from the Luxottica POC and first board meeting at MBS to the Accelerating Asia Ventures program and this recent event at Villaggio Italia during the Tour Vespucci, I’m incredibly proud of how far Ulisse (Lanp) has come. Thanks to ITA - Italian Trade Agency - Singapore and the Global Startup Program, we’ve not only grown but shared our evolution on a global stage, with Singapore becoming a key launchpad. This event also highlighted a positive shift in Italy’s approach to startups—focused on better capital access, legislative streamlining, and international collaboration, especially with strategic regions like Singapore. It’s exciting to see partnerships between our countries grow, particularly in sectors like manufacturing, semiconductors, and defense, while enhancing startup ecosystems to attract investments both ways. For entrepreneurs like me, who left Italy seeking faster ecosystems, it’s inspiring to see Italy’s steady progress in supporting startups with a more business-oriented political class. Here’s to a bright future for Italian innovation worldwide. #Innovation #UlisseJourney #GlobalStartupProgram #ItalianTradeAgency #VillaggioItalia #SingaporeExpansion CDP Cassa Depositi e Prestiti ITA - Italian Trade Agency - Singapore Lanp

Welcoming simplification We have been swimming in a sea of over-complicated systems that divide markets and over-engineer solutions. But what if we simplified things and made them smarter? We’re kicking off with a deceptively simple project: the Helmholtz anti-room-resonance system. It’s the first step in creating a series of cross-market technologies that don’t just simplify; they integrate seamlessly across industries. Think Hi-Fi sound systems, smart homes, HVAC, and beyond. This is just the beginning. And here’s the best part: we’re not complicating anything. This is about building leaner solutions. Seeing cross-pollinatable markets. Finding joy in overlaps. We work in peace instead of arming the ongoing battles! Check out the comment section 👇 for a little explainer on how three cross-market technologies (HeatFlow sensing, Python control and InventSilent valves) make this project smart, scalable, and ready for collaboration. Do not capture markets, do doughnot economy! #BeyondGrowth #BeyondGDP
