Episode Synopsis
In Arabic, ALAQA means relationship — a word that invites us to look deeper at what connects (and sometimes disconnects) the parts of a system.In the age of climate urgency, economic uncertainty, and social fragmentation, relationships — between people, portfolios, institutions, sectors, and generations — are no longer soft infrastructure. They are the levers of change. And yet, they’re often overlooked in strategy rooms, investment decks, or governance models.ALAQA explores the structural, strategic, and human dimensions of relationships in the world of capital — particularly for those seeking to finance solutions in a complex, interdependent world.Each episode unpacks a relationship that matters:between investors and foundersbetween different assets in a portfoliobetween public and private capitalbetween next-gen inheritors and established wealthbetween theory of change and deal executionWe speak with investors, ecosystem builders, capital allocators and change agents working at the intersection of finance, sustainability, and systems thinking — and ask:What does it take to build, repair, or evolve the connections that drive resilient and just transitions?
