A conversation with Béla Hatvany, pioneering entrepreneur in the automation of libraries and the information industry, born in 1938, turned into angel investor and philanthropist, on his journey, what’s enough, the role of AI and EI (empathetic intelligence), and the potential of precision fermentation.

Bela and his wife Ellen founded in 2011 Mustardseed Trust, a charity with the vision of a world in which all beings live in partnership with the web of life for all to thrive. Mustardseed Trust, which has been steadfastly supporting a variety of organisations and individuals across the globe and focusing on Care Economy and Regenerative Food Systems, is winding-up its operation this June.
