🌟 A Glimpse into the Innovation 4.4 Family Office Retreat: A Fusion of History, Legacy, and the Future

The Innovation 4.4 Family Office Retreat took place within the awe-inspiring Broughton Hall Estate in Yorkshire, UK. 🏰

Innovation 4.4 is a US non-profit with global reach focused on accelerating the deployment of solutions the world most needs, by working with family offices, governments, the United Nations, NASA, corporations, and research institutions around the world.

Innovation 4.4 brought together an elite group of global family offices, impact leaders, and innovative minds to inspire families of wealth to do more in the impact space, educate them on how to do more, and provide access to deeply vetted investable solutions. The program contained discussions on future trends, impact initiatives, and collaborative opportunities.

Mia's Co-Founders, Tarja Stephens, and Janna Salokangas were among the select few invited to grace the stage and share their insights on the transformative power of emerging technologies, skill-based learning, and women's essential role in shaping the tech landscape.

The retreat was hosted by Innovation 4.4, as part of the Innovation 4.4 Family Office series, with past events curated on Necker Island, at the World Economic Forum, at the United Nations Oceans Conference,  at the United Nations General Assembly Climate Week, at COP 26 in Glasgow, and at COP 27 in Egypt. In this stimulating environment, attendees delved into thought-provoking discussions about job creation, upskilling, and equity, fostering connections and collaborations to drive positive change on a global scale. 🌍💡

Surrounded by the magnificent architecture of the Broughton Hall Estate, which has been home to the Tempest family for 33 generations, the attendees were enveloped in an aura of history, legacy, and tradition.
