Assemble You delivers a consumer-grade learning experience to corporate L&D – providing resources to empower professionals to become the best version of themselves. We champion a convenient learning experience that’s smooth, straightforward, and stress-free. AY is the home of podcast-style audio lessons. Our audio lessons are designed to be listened to on the go. They complement (rather than compete with) a busy life. Topics in our library range from Power Skills, productivity, and sales to well-being, leadership, and DEI. In 2024, we launched TikTok-style technical training. These resources (not courses) are all under ten minutes. They upskill employees in the flow of life and solve problems at the point of need.

AllRise is an organisation that uses the power of climate litigation to hold accountable those who knowingly and recklessly cause significant and widespread harm through environmental damage and to ensure that future acts of destruction are prevented or prosecuted. Yes, we are passionate environmentalists. But above all, we are strategists and tacticians striving to protect the climate through the use of existing legal tools and frameworks, and within a timeframe that actually matters. AllRise is made up of recognised lawyers, scientists and environmental experts, communications specialists, financial engineers and entrepreneurs, all of whom have many years’ experience in their respective fields of expertise and are committed to taking responsibility for the future of our planet. We are transforming AllRise from being a donation based NGO into a self-sustaining ecosystem that drives both impact and commercial cases, and will also launch the AllRise Incubator, which also develops the tools needed to pursue these cases. This collaborative and entrepreneurial approach will enable us to respond quickly and flexibly by using the law when it comes to tackling todays urgent climate violations.

Concorde Group is Hungary’s leading independent company engaged in investment banking activities. It provides its clients with integrated financial services that include securities trading, research, corporate financial consulting and capital-market transactions, asset management and investment advice. Concorde’s operations and strategy are guided by the following business philosophy: Concorde conducts its activities within a clearly delineated area of financial services, and consequently its strategy is determined by the growth and development of the markets for those services and by the changing needs of its clients in these particular segments. As an integrated service provider, Concorde’s aim is to develop various mutually reinforcing business lines and activities into a haromonious and organic whole. Concorde’s employees and the firm itself have received more than 50 professional awards since the company’s inception. In 2007 György Jaksity won the “Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year” award. For several years now, Concorde has been among the leading companies on the Budapest Stock Exchange (BSE) in terms of trading volume transacted. In 2018 Concorde handled the largest turnover on the BSE’s prompt market. The ‘workshop’ can only be run effectively and its independence maintained with the maximum dedication of our staff. Concorde is fully committed to its employees, helping them harness their knowledge and ambitions in order to fully realise their professional potential while enjoying the psychological and financial rewards that this should bring. At the same time, while respecting the freedom of the individual, the objective is to enhance the overall performance of the team; we not only need to be good soloists, but an orchestra of players performing together in harmony.
