In Botswana, By Batswana.
Day to day, four years ago, @HBAntwerp was a promising startup making headlines as a newcomer in the diamond industry.
Today, we’re recognized by @FortuneMagazine as one of the world’s most impactful companies — a testament to what commitment and vision can achieve.
Sinds 1 januari is de import van Russische diamant verboden in de G7-landen. België was de drijvende kracht achter deze beslissing. Met dit initiatief plaatst ons land zich in het centrum van een complexe geopolitieke strijd.

Pleased to have engaged in a productive discussion with Minister @carogennez, who serves as Minister of Development Cooperation & Major Cities. We discussed skills transfer, working as a knowledge-based company, and the importance of international #solidarity.
It's such a delight to spend time with leaders making a lasting impact. It was an honour to speak with His Excellency, President Mokgweetski Masisi of Botswana about the uplifting #transformation of his country, being fueled by #innovation + digitisation. #Leadership@teresajedd
.@HBAntwerp and Botswana share a bold vision—to trigger a seismic shift in the diamond industry and begin to restore fairness, economic growth, and optimism to the people of Botswana.
Learn how a new #SupplyChain is transforming lives.
Thank you to all the people from @MSFTSolutions for bringing our story to the world and showcasing that partnerships can make a difference.
This is an important moment for all the people at @HBAntwerp , in Antwerp and in Botswana
HB Antwerp 's fair business model leads to - massive job creation, both in Botswana and in Antwerp - 40% more revenues for Botswana, the country of origin - 100% traceable diamonds - economic transformation of Botswana
A story of political leadership, shared values and partnership.
A story of great inclusive economic development.
A story of enormous scalable potential.
It was an honor to host @OfficialMasisi, @VincentVQ and @teresajedd for a conversation on the sidelines of #UNGA to explore how #HBAntwerp is leveraging innovation and cutting-edge technology to transform the diamond supply chain in Africa and beyond.
An HB diamond never leaves the closed loop HB Ecosystem. Every diamond is secured in and tracked via the HB Capsule during its transformation from rough to polished. The HB Capsule is the first IoT device to introduce blockchain continuity to the lifecycle of a mineral resource.
HB Capsule is the embodiment of how we shed light on our supply chain and create leverage for mining communities.Collecting +3000 verification points,we show the country of origin how much value is created&how much is staying in the country to help improve lives of its citizens.
@HBAntwerp replaces the century-old habit of trading diamonds in a piece of paper with an IoT device.This enables HB to store the 💎,but more importantly all the data created during their transformation from rough to polished. Blockchain continuity, from mine to💍, and afterward
Interesting brainstorm this morning with @joydonne,CEO of @InvestFlanders, and our HB Botswana https://t.co/K7KlE8tUmu highly-educated young graduates,they know exactly what Botswana needs and how the HB model can serve as an example for other Flemish companies
