Knowledge Ecosystem

On the Record

TecHive is a global knowledge platform connecting governments, policymakers, city and industry leaders, technologists, and humanitarian experts to address real-world challenges through collaboration and technology. On the Record brings these voices together — spanning humanitarian response, energy, climate and urban resilience, disaster risk reduction, and emerging technology — including Ricardo Mena, Walter Cotte, Dovie Maisel, and ElementsAI's Ashish and Ashwina Kulkarni. Through curated conferences and strategic dialogue, these conversations turn practical, field-tested experience into shared insight — helping organizations anticipate risk, strengthen preparedness, and build lasting resilience across sectors.

These conversations draw on organizations across TecHive's knowledge ecosystem, including WCMR Consulting (Ricardo Mena and Walter Cotte's crisis and risk management consultancy) and ElementsAI (Ashish and Ashwina Kulkarni's AI-native emergency management platform), among others.
