inDrive Takes Center Stage at Techne Summit Cairo to Discuss the Future of Mobility and Digital Ecosystems
Cairo, Egypt – September 2026: inDrive, the global mobility and urban services platform, participated in Techne Summit Cairo 2026, bringing its perspective on the evolution of mobility, technology, and digital services in Egypt.
As part of its participation, Alaa El Din Shalaby, Country Manager for inDrive Egypt, took part in a fireside chat focused on the company’s growth in Egypt, the evolution of the mobility sector, and the opportunities shaping the future of transportation in the country.
During the discussion, Shalaby highlighted inDrive’s peer-to-peer pricing model, which allows drivers and passengers to agree on a fare rather than having the platform impose a fixed price. He also discussed the factors behind inDrive’s growth in Egypt, the changing needs of drivers and passengers, and the opportunities that remain within the country’s mobility market.
The conversation also explored some of the key challenges facing the mobility sector, including economic pressures, regulatory developments, and the importance of creating sustainable opportunities for drivers.
“Egypt is a market where people value flexibility, choice, and the ability to make decisions that work for them. Our model is built around giving both drivers and passengers a greater role in that process,” said Alaa El Din Shalaby, Country Manager for inDrive Egypt. “Our growth in Egypt has shown us the importance of building our services around real local needs. As we look ahead, we remain focused on developing solutions that create value for both drivers and passengers while continuing to expand our role within the wider urban services ecosystem.”
In addition to the fireside chat, inDrive participated in a panel discussion with Vezeeta titled “Beyond Apps: Why Healthcare Ecosystems Need Integration.” The session explored how technology platforms and healthcare providers can collaborate to create more connected and accessible experiences for users, highlighting the growing role of partnerships and integration in digital ecosystems.
The two sessions reflected inDrive’s broader evolution from a ride-hailing service into a global mobility and urban services platform, with an expanding range of services designed to address everyday transportation and urban needs.
Through its participation at Techne Summit, inDrive also reinforced its commitment to engaging with Egypt’s technology and business community and contributing to conversations around the future of mobility, digital innovation, and technology-enabled services.

Australian-Born Gourmet Burger Brand Burgertory Makes Its India Debut in Mumbai
Mumbai, Sept 28: Australian-born gourmet burger brand Burgertory has made its India debut with its first outlet in Andheri, Mumbai. Rooted in bold flavours, fresh preparation and its signature ‘Saints vs Sinners’ philosophy, the brand brings together gourmet burgers, sides, beverages and music in an energetic setting. The concept celebrates two sides of the dining experience: ‘Saints’ represent lighter choices, while ‘Sinners’ embrace indulgent, unapologetic flavours. This duality is reflected in both the menu and the outlet’s distinctive design.
The India menu brings together Burgertory’s Australian roots with flavours tailored to local preferences. From the Seoul Smasher, Chipotle Stack and Fajita Fusion to the Burn to Hell, Moroccan Flame and British Lion, the range features distinctive flavour combinations. Indian-inspired offerings such as Rogan Romance, Paneer Thecha, Tandoori Peri Peri Chicken and Kerala Fried Chicken add a local touch, while the Mumbai Slyder brings a city-inspired option to the menu. The offering extends beyond burgers to include wings, loaded fries, Cheese Bomb Bites, wraps, platters and desserts, alongside cocktails, beer and milkshakes. Vegetarian options include Golden Spud, Tofu Thunder, Mushroom King Portobello and Garden Glory. With sauces prepared in-house using distinctive spice blends and meat patties marinated in-house, freshness and flavour remain central to the brand’s approach.
Commenting on the launch, Tarun Sachdeva, CEO, Burgertory India Expansion, said, “Expanding an international brand into a new market is about understanding local consumer preferences while staying true to what makes the brand distinctive. India presents an opportunity for Burgertory to bring its Australian-born burger culture to a diverse and evolving dining landscape. Our approach is to build the brand with a long-term perspective, adapting to regional tastes while maintaining the core philosophy that defines Burgertory. We see the India launch as the beginning of a journey focused on creating a recognisable brand and an experience that goes beyond the menu.”
Charanjeet Mahedu, Master Franchisee, Maharashtra & Goa, Burgertory, added, “Burgertory was born out of a simple belief that a great burger starts with freshness, quality ingredients and flavours that stand out. Bringing the brand to India is an opportunity to introduce our Australian burger culture while creating an experience that resonates with Indian consumers. We have stayed true to our core philosophy while developing a menu that brings together bold flavours, distinctive combinations and local favourites. Mumbai, with its vibrant food culture and openness to new experiences, felt like the natural place to begin this journey. With Burgertory, we want to offer people more than just a great burger, we want to create a space where food, drinks, music and good company come together.”
Mumbai was chosen as the starting point for Burgertory’s India journey for its diverse food culture, vibrant nightlife and openness to new experiences. The brand’s launch celebration brought its ‘Saints vs Sinners’ identity to life through music, games and Burgertory specials. With a vision to build a recognisable Australian-born burger brand in India, Burgertory aims to grow steadily while remaining responsive to regional tastes and preferences, creating a culture around burgers, drinks, music and shared experiences.

GRI selects food and beverages as pilot for new approach to sector reporting
Experts sought to help shape a new Sector Standard, through a faster model for delivering industry-specific impact reporting guidance
Amsterdam, Sept 28 – GRI, provider of the world’s most widely used sustainability reporting standards, is starting development of a new Sector Standard for food and beverage companies, designed to strengthen reporting on the impacts that matter most across the industry and its value chains.
The project will be the first to pilot a streamlined approach to GRI Sector Standards development, responding to growing demand for authoritative sector-specific disclosure guidance. To inform the development of the Food & Beverages Standard, GRI is seeking up to 20 sector experts from around the world to join a multi-stakeholder Peer Review Group.
The new approach is designed to significantly reduce the time needed to develop Sector Standards, while retaining GRI’s established multistakeholder due process. The more focused format will identify topics that are likely to be material for organizations in the sector, summarize their most significant impacts, and direct organizations to relevant existing GRI Topic Standards.
Food and beverage has been selected as the first pilot sector given the scale and breadth of its sustainability impacts. The project will consider impacts across companies’ own operations and value chains, including connections with agriculture, aquaculture, and fishing.
Peter Dawkins, GRI Standards Senior Manager, said:
“The food and beverage sector touches almost every part of society, while its value chains are closely connected with some of the most pressing sustainability challenges we face. From climate change and biodiversity loss to working conditions and public health, companies need to understand and transparently report their impacts.
This new GRI Sector Standard will provide focused guidance on the issues that matter most, helping companies deliver more consistent reporting, and the information needed for decision making that improves sustainability performance and business resilience.
“As the first pilot for a more streamlined approach, we need input from the sector and its stakeholders. I encourage those with relevant expertise to get involved and help us ensure the Standard is practical, credible, and reflects the realities of this global industry.”
Applications for the Peer Review Group are open until 23 October 2026.

ISO and UNDP launch world’s first International Standard to advance action on the Sustainable Development Goals
Paris, France, 28 September 2026 – ISO and UNDP today launched ISO/UNDP 53001, Management systems for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – Requirements, live from the first day of the ISO Annual Meeting. The new standard is the world’s first International Standard providing organizations with a structured management system to integrate the SDGs into strategy, governance and operations.
As governments, businesses and institutions face growing expectations to demonstrate meaningful progress on sustainable development, ISO/UNDP 53001 provides a globally agreed approach to help organizations move beyond commitment towards measurable implementation and continual improvement.
ISO/UNDP 53001, for the first time, provides concrete tools to enable organizations to identify priorities, establish objectives, integrate them into existing processes and measure performance over time. As a requirements-based management system standard, it provides a consistent basis for demonstrating that an organization’s approach meets defined requirements, strengthening accountability and confidence in the actions taken.
The launch comes at a moment when the way national development priorities are financed and delivered is changing rapidly. With public development resources under increasing pressure and the scale of sustainable development needs far exceeding what public finance alone can meet, businesses and private investment will play an increasingly important role in advancing national and global development priorities. This makes credible, internationally recognized systems for translating sustainability commitments into business practice more important than ever.
ISO/UNDP 53001 provides a foundation for that emerging architecture. By giving organizations a common framework to integrate sustainable development priorities into governance, strategy, operations and decision-making, the standard can help businesses strengthen sustainability management while giving governments, investors, development institutions and other stakeholders greater confidence in how commitments are implemented and measured.
ISO Secretary-General Sergio Mujica said the launch represents an important step in supporting organizations to make measurable progress towards the SDGs.
“The SDGs have provided a shared global vision for a decade. Today, organizations are looking for concrete ways to translate that vision into action,” Mr Mujica said.
“International Standards have long helped organizations address complex global challenges by providing a common language and a shared framework for action. We are delighted to launch ISO/UNDP 53001 today, extending this proven approach to the SDGs and helping organizations create positive impact for people and planet.”
UNDP identified ISO as its international standards development partner for the initiative, bringing together UNDP’s expertise in sustainable development with ISO’s global standardization system and network of national standards bodies.
Marcos Neto, UN Assistant Secretary-General and Director of UNDP’s Bureau for Policy and Programme Support stated that achieving the SDGs will depend on organizations of every kind playing an active role in advancing sustainable development.
“The SDGs provide a shared blueprint for a more inclusive and prosperous future. Achieving that requires organizations everywhere to turn ambition into action,” Mr Neto said.
“We are proud to launch ISO/UNDP 53001 alongside ISO as a crucial tool to help organizations embed the SDGs into the way they operate, lead and govern. By making sustainability part of everyday decision-making, the standard can help accelerate progress towards the 2030 Agenda.”
Jens Heiede, Chief Executive Officer of Danish Standards, said developing the world’s first International Standard dedicated to the SDGs required international collaboration to build consensus across a broad range of sectors and perspectives.
“Creating a standard that could be applied by organizations of every size, sector and geography required extensive collaboration between experts from around the world. Together, we developed a practical and internationally agreed set of requirements that organizations can apply with confidence,” Mr Heiede said.
“It has been a privilege for Danish Standards to lead the technical committee behind ISO/UNDP 53001. We look forward to seeing organizations use the standard to demonstrate accountability and deliver meaningful sustainability outcomes.”
Through ISO’s network of national standards bodies, ISO/UNDP 53001 could support greater consistency across countries and economies. It offers organizations, governments and policymakers a common reference point for translating sustainable development priorities into measurable action.
The new standard integrates smoothly with other management system standards, such as ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management. By building on existing processes, organizations can reduce duplication, improve efficiency and take a more coherent approach to managing risks, meeting commitments and achieving strategic objectives.
The standard is intended for businesses, governments, educational institutions, civil society organizations and other organizations seeking to align their activities with the SDGs. Its flexible approach enables users to focus on the SDGs most relevant to their purpose, context and stakeholders.
ISO/UNDP 53001 is designed to provide long-term value by supporting the current SDGs and any subsequent global goals that supersede the 2030 Agenda. Like all ISO International Standards, it will undergo ISO’s regular systematic review process to help ensure it remains relevant, fit for purpose and responsive to evolving international priorities and best practice.
ISO and UNDP intend to work with partners across the multilateral system to support its implementation, including through sector-specific guidance that can connect global development priorities with the realities of different industries and markets.
The launch of ISO/UNDP 53001 is a key feature of the ISO Annual Meeting, hosted by AFNOR in Paris, France, from 28 September to 2 October 2026. Under the theme Building trust in a changing world, the Annual Meeting is bringing together global leaders, policymakers and standards experts to explore the role of International Standards in addressing the world’s most pressing challenges.

Together, these acquisitions and investments have created a broader and more integrated platform in India, bringing together complementary expertise, technology and specialist teams while retaining the leadership, domain knowledge and client relationships of the businesses involved.
A Differentiated Model for Clients
Ascentium India is building its client proposition around four principles: continuity of senior leadership, accessible decision-making, institutional governance and investment ahead of client demand.
“Four principles shape how we work with clients: continuity of senior leadership, accessible decision-making, strong governance and investment ahead of demand. We keep senior leaders closely engaged, maintain a lean structure that enables quick decisions, and hold ourselves to high standards of governance and accountability. At the same time, we continue to invest in technology, talent and capabilities to deliver long-term client value,” added Manish Modi.
Ascentium India offers expertise across a comprehensive range of services spanning Global Expansion, Tax & Structures, Managed Services, Risk Advisory, Regulatory & Governance Advisory, Investment Banking, Fund Services, Sustainability & ESG, Cybersecurity and Data Privacy, among others.

Aon Launches Power Lifecycle Program to Support Conventional Gas Power Projects Powering Digital Infrastructure Growth
New multiline insurance solution offers up to $2.5 billion in coverage across construction and operations for utility and digital infrastructure clients
DUBLIN, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today announced the launch of its Power Lifecycle Program (PLP), a new integrated insurance solution designed to support conventional gas power projects from construction through testing, commissioning and into operations.
Reliable power generation is becoming increasingly important as demand for digital infrastructure, cloud computing and artificial intelligence accelerates. PLP is designed to help organizations investing at scale in power generation – whether behind the meter for dedicated digital infrastructure or in front of the meter to serve broader grid demand – address the growing risks associated with power assets required to meet rising energy needs.
“As investment in energy infrastructure continues to grow, organizations require risk solutions that evolve alongside increasingly complex power assets,” said Joe Peiser, CEO of Risk Capital, Aon. “Our Power Lifecycle Program provides a coordinated insurance solution from construction, testing and commissioning through to operation. By bringing multiple coverages together within a single lifecycle framework, Aon’s Power Lifecycle Program helps clients take a more holistic approach to managing project, operational and infrastructure risk.”
A Lifecycle Approach to Power Risk
Developing a conventional power project involves managing interconnected risks across construction, testing, commissioning and early operations – and a loss or interruption at any stage can affect schedules, financing commitments and anticipated revenue – particularly when insurance is arranged separately at each stage. PLP’s lifecycle model moves insurance from a series of disconnected placements to a single coordinated risk-transfer strategy that supports a project from site selection and construction through commissioning and ongoing operations. The result is generally better continuity of cover, reduced coverage gaps, improved capital efficiency, and greater confidence for developers, owners, lenders and investors.
Key features of PLP generally include:
- Up to $2.5 billion in Erection All Risks and Delay in Startup coverage per project, for the construction, testing and commissioning periods
- Up to $2.5 billion in Operational Property Damage and Business Interruption coverage per project, for the immediate operational period
- Up to $100 million of Construction and Operational Third-Party Liability (excluding U.S. Projects)
- Clients can opt for a tailored risk advisory assessment of the risk to projects from natural catastrophe, climate, cyber, casualty, supply chain and business interruption risks, delivering enterprise resilience from site selection through to portfolio scale. Risk Engineering and Casualty consulting available.
The program is underpinned by a lead panel of London-based carriers, combining power-sector expertise with meaningful capacity for global clients. Beyond the lead panel, the balance of capacity is predominantly London-based, complemented by significant participation from key local and global markets, providing the breadth, resilience and reach required to support projects worldwide.
PLP is available to power infrastructure developers, private equity firms funding power project developments, contractors controlling construction cover and power infrastructure owners for both grid-connected standalone conventional gas power projects and dedicated projects supporting data centers.
The launch comes as the rapid expansion of data centers drives significant investment in conventional power generation capacity and builds on Aon’s established position supporting digital infrastructure clients through the Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Program that expanded to $5 billion in capacity in July 2026. Together, the two programs reflect Aon’s lifecycle approach to helping clients build, operate and scale critical infrastructure with greater confidence.
About Aon
Aon plc (NYSE: AON) exists to shape decisions for the better — to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world. Through actionable analytic insight, globally integrated Risk Capital and Human Capital expertise, and locally relevant solutions, our colleagues provide clients in over 120 countries with the clarity and confidence to make better risk and people decisions that help protect and grow their businesses.
