Airline food has long been the butt of jokes, often perceived as an afterthought rather than a defining part of the journey. Yet in 2025, with global carriers locked in competition for passenger loyalty, the dining experience at 30,000 feet has become a vital differentiator. At the centre of this transformation is AMI Group, the global travel solutions company redefining what in-flight cuisine can be. Business Enquirer sat down with Matt Farrell, Vice President of Culinary Innovation and Development at AMI Group, to explore the craft, complexity and creativity behind the meals that shape how we experience travel. Matt’s story…
There are company stories that follow a neat, linear arc. RJ Group is not one of them. The organisation has evolved as an entrepreneurial ecosystem, a portfolio of interlocking businesses that reinforce one another while retaining the agility to adapt in their own markets. From LPG cylinder manufacturing that expands clean-cooking access across Africa, to high-end real-estate development and refurbishment in London, to fast-growing consumer goods across West Africa, the Group operates with a single cultural constant: people first, relentlessly executed. Speaking to Business Enquirer, Managing Partner of RJ Group Holding and CEO of Sigma Cylinders, Valor Collective, and Platinum…
Behind the materials that forge the world’s most essential industries lies a company whose impact reaches far beyond the factories it serves. RHI Magnesita is more than a supplier of refractories. It is a global network of mining, manufacturing, logistics and recycling, working together to keep the modern industrial world moving. The company operates 68 main production sites (incl. raw material sites)and runs a vertically integrated system that begins with mining its own raw materials, dolomite and magnesite. At the other end of the cycle, it collects and recycles used refractory products, reintroducing them as secondary raw materials. It is…
In the life sciences industry, the digital revolution has arrived not with fanfare, but with quiet precision. It is transforming the way pharmaceutical and biotech companies design, construct and operate their facilities. At the centre of this transformation is ZETA, a globally operating end-to-end solution provider. that has evolved from pipe fitting to developing fully digital, data-driven production ecosystems for some of the world’s most complex manufacturing environments. The company’s trajectory is remarkable. Fifteen years ago, ZETA was a modest business of around one hundred employees, primarily focused on piping and mechanical installation. Today, it is a global player with…

Q&A with Merck How is SYNTHIA® reshaping the way chemists approach the earliest stages of drug discovery? SYNTHIA® is fundamentally changing early drug discovery by empowering chemists to rapidly generate, visualize, and evaluate multiple synthetic routes for target molecules—even those never made before. By automating retrosynthetic analysis, we enable researchers to move from idea to actionable synthetic plans in minutes, not weeks. This accelerates hit-to-lead and lead optimization, reduces risk, and allows teams to focus their creativity on the most promising compounds. In what ways do algorithms and machine learning give researchers an advantage over traditional retrosynthesis methods? SYNTHIA® combines…
In the rapidly evolving world of pharmaceutical and life sciences, the boundaries between research, development, and manufacturing are being redrawn. At the centre of this shift is Helbling, whose Closed Loop Manufacturing (CLM) model is changing how laboratories transition from experimentation to full-scale production. The concept introduces a new level of continuity, connecting every stage of product and process design through a single digital framework. For Sébastien Martin, Head of Digital Transformation at Helbling, this evolution is not about adding technology for its own sake, but about creating meaningful integration. “We aim to position ourselves as the interface between senior…
As the world’s population moves toward ten billion by 2050, global food security stands at a decisive moment. Agricultural productivity must expand to feed billions more people, yet the essential ingredients of that productivity; land, water, and fertiliser are under immense pressure. Phosphate lies at the heart of this challenge. It is the key ingredient in fertiliser production and the element that sustains global crop yields. Without phosphate, modern agriculture would not exist. Every grain of wheat, every field of maize, and every ton of rice relies on phosphorus to grow. Nearly half of the world’s food supply depends on…
As Curaçao Airport Partners (CAP), the operator of Curaçao International Airport, steps into the future, its leadership under CEO Ricardo Hernández has been instrumental in shaping the airport’s expansion strategy and ambitions. The airport is no longer just a transportation hub; under Hernández’s guidance, it is transitioning into a central part of Curaçao’s tourism and economic growth. From major infrastructure upgrades to expanding air cargo capabilities and enhancing the passenger experience, Curaçao International Airport is positioning itself as a key player in the Caribbean and a global gateway for international commodities.

A coalition of global investors managing upwards of US$18 trillion in assets has unveiled a 10-year vision and recommendations for making mining more socially and environmentally responsible. This blueprint emerges at a pivotal moment: as demand for transition minerals like copper, lithium and nickel accelerates, so too do the sustainability and governance risks tied to mining operations. Key Highlights Why This Matters Challenges & Considerations What to Watch Next Final Thought The 10-year blueprint represents a major turning point: investors are signalling that mining must evolve from a purely resource-extraction business to one built around performance, responsibility and resilience. When…
