They leverage technology to create markets that are more liquid, transparent, and secure, with lower transactions costs and fewer barriers to entry. Markets that empower individuals to improve their own lives and help us address the biggest challenges that we face as a society — including the energy transformation and the transition to an AI-augmented economy. How do we build SmarterMarkets? We’re starting with our weekly podcast exploring how both markets and technology can be redesigned to better serve market participants and society as a whole. The podcast, presented by Abaxx Technologies, brings together the entrepreneurs, icons, and executives of commodities, capital markets and technology to rant on the inadequacies of our systems and riff on ideas for how to improve them.","last_synced_at":"2026-08-02T10:18:35.455426+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/smartermarkets-1365693"},"episode":{"title":"Special Episode | Scenes from the FT Commodities Global Summit 2026","slug":"special-episode-scenes-from-the-ft-commodities-global-summit-2026","published_at":"2026-05-02T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/smartermarkets-1365693/special-episode-scenes-from-the-ft-commodities-global-summit-2026","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/smartermarkets-1365693","url":"https://smartermarkets.podbean.com/e/special-episode-scenes-from-the-ft-commodities-global-summit-2026/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/exnfwnxxzpfsibg8/SM281_FTLausanne_SpecialEpisode_Mix2_20260501.mp3","summary":"We present a Special Episode of SmarterMarkets™, bringing you exclusive interviews from the FT Commodities Global Summit 2026.
