One of them being the empowerment of citizens. SGO has invested in Smartmatic, a leader in election automation, which has helped hundreds of millions of voters cast over 3.7 billion ballots in election projects around the world. - Climate and clean air: SGO has made strategic investments in two companies: Airlabs and Infuser. Both tackle the problem of polluted air in cities, factories and work places. Airlabs are pioneers in providing clean air to breathe in polluted cities. Their team of atmospheric chemists, airflow engineers and sensor specialists combine to understand air pollution, clean it and deliver that clean air for people to breathe. Infuser is an atmospheric chemistry and engineering company that develops and implements technologies for the production, management and infusion of natural atmospheric gases to clean air and water. - Identity and Privacy: We have funded extensive research and made significant investments to help institutions manage identity. Users of the technology developed by our companies count with a secure and trustworthy way to prove their identity online. In the coming months we will announce new themes and companies that will join us in helping governments become more efficient and transparent.
