"Spark is a project that cares deeply about society and in making it better. For me, what makes Spark much more interesting than competitors is in its development of a new financial model that all stakeholders benefit from, most notably our start-up businesses.”
"We want to support individuals bring their ideas to life by showing the path and equipping them with the necessary skills. We believe creating a buzzing and provocative destination helps create that success."
