PARTNERS 2023
TOM GLOCER OPENING KEYNOTE in 2023
In Tom Glocer’s words, “The traditional financial information networks were primarily based on the aggregation and distribution of market data. Vortexa is the first information platform of its kind using advanced AI to create a real-time fundamental view of the multi-trillion dollar energy market. The speed in which Vortexa is attracting and working with the top energy traders in the market is a clear indication of something immensely valuable in the making.”
