Today, on 9 August, we are marking International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples.Like NAIDOC and Reconciliation Week, this occasion is an opportunity to celebrate communities around the world with ancestral ties to the lands in which they live.It’s also an opportunity to raise awareness about crucial issues impacting these communities and campaign for social, political, and economic change.
On July 12, our CEO Nilesh Makwana launched his first book, Terminal 4: An Entrepreneur’s Journey from Bicycle to Business Class, and he discovered the Four P’s. The launch event was one of the key events on the first day of the WA Invest & Trade Mission to India. Nilesh was joined by Hon Roger Cook MLA Deputy Premier and Hon David Templeman MLA Minister for Culture and the Arts.
The topics at the Data Science for Business Conference were wide-ranging, including gender diversity in data science, addressing industry skills shortages, discovering emerging data-driven career paths, and unpacking the dynamic role of artificial intelligence. We also presented our own topic: Using Data for Social Impact and Change.
This year, the team at illuminance Solutions was particularly inspired by the 2022 National Reconciliation Week theme: Be Brave, Make Change. It is a message that encourages Australians to make positive lifestyle changes, even if they are inconvenient or challenging, that make the country a more inclusive and welcoming place. This theme is woven into the very fabric of our business and guides what we do and why we do it.
When the WA borders opened to travel again, a meeting between illuminance Solutions, Civic Disability Services, Wiise, and Microsoft in Sydney was quickly organised. Nilesh met CEO of Civic, Annie Doyle before the borders shut down and Australia went into lockdown the first time, and they invited CEO of Wiise, Charlie Wood and Rachel Bondi, the Chief Partner Officer at Microsoft.

We’re looking back on some highlights from the previous year. It was an incredibly busy year for us, with many new clients and opportunities, events and lots of fun. We conducted digital literacy training sessions, participated in sporting events, received visits from ministers and consul generals, did some upskilling, and participated in Microsoft Certification Week. And we had some cake.
