Digital Transformation for Collaborative Networks
Looking back, one theme stands out: integration and activation. Each project - from platform architecture to community spaces - demonstrated our belief that technology becomes transformative when it’s deeply connected. It’s a foundation for growth.
Our co-founder, Travis Hensgen, led a major technical redesign of the codebase which underpins everything our partners do every day. These kinds of infrastructure leaps don’t always get the spotlight, but they’re what makes the visible innovation possible. Community and knowledge platforms, for systemic change, with thousands of members, need performance and complex data models.
As with much of the AI industry, 2025 was also our year of agentic AI. Our Senior Software Engineer, Dinuka Piyadigama, upgraded our AI infrastructure to be multi-agent, multi-tenant, and globally-zoned, with proprietary and global data. These AI agents are lining up to help with the every day jobs of partnering, innovation discovery, reporting, and community activation.
Partnering for Success
We had the privilege to connect with change-makers at ChangeFest25 in Walyalup, WA. We were immersed in the movement’s energy and heard about their digital needs for transformation. ChangeFest and Collaboration for Impact showed us the grassroots dynamism of social change.
Our work with the Kelp Forest Alliance gave structure to digital reports for AI use, and we’re finalising data-driven region profiles of the world’s kelp forests, using global data sets entered by its marine biologist members. Beautifully enabled by software developer, Jack Dyball, this feeds into Shapeable's systems to enable emerging insights, learning, adaptation and action across science and policy.
Future Council launched their members' chat feature, in parallel with a global roll-out of their inspiring youth-led film. This is a secure, moderated channel for children to connect and develop their own visions for the future, and have a voice at the table with international corporations.
We delivered the fifth digital and print editions of the GESDA Radar 2026, launched at their annual summit in Switzerland. Our co-founder and Creative Director, Adrian Shawcross, again visualised the future of technology. We embedded working groups into their platform and arranged them around the Radar's themes. Their global community of scientists and government can now find collaboration partners to turn ‘anticipated’ insight into action.
For ConnectOre we added bulletin boards linked to a closed-system AI, to enable connection across the mining ecosystem, aligned to government sustainability and innovation priorities. The network of producers, academia, technology suppliers, and policymakers is now growing, to bring together emerging research and partnering, to accelerate next generation solutions.
International Bridges to Justice (IBJ) expanded their learning tools. We have been evolving their courses and modules as new tools for their community to enhance their skills and capabilities. One of the most inspiring milestones was the Villars Review launch. The platform amplifies and empowers youth voices worldwide. Seeing young people shape global debate has been a humbling reminder of why we build platforms at all.
Shaping the future
We also introduced AI-powered country profiling for our customers. Synthetic indicators help you assess and compare your global landscape. This in turn enables a global comparison to provide data insight and measurement. It's one more meaningful step toward a more holistic understanding of systems-level change.
This work aligns with our earlier thinking on Shape AI for Business Ecosystems. Human purpose must guide intelligent systems.
As we step into 2026, our systems are stronger and more interconnected. The work we’ve completed — and the systems we now have humming underneath — set the stage for a next phase defined by people, purpose, and possibility.
