Techopian was founded by Michael Baxter in 2020 and relaunched in collaboration with Rob Hughes in January 2021.

Both successful in their own right, having been involved in numerous publications, analyst houses and technology firms over the past 25 years, their common interest in ethical business drew them together.  The world of technology has constantly sped up over this period, moving from the advent of the internet towards advancing technologies such as artificial intelligence. However, the way in which businesses are run, their footprint on the environment and planet has not kept up.

In recent years a new type of company has emerged, led by a greater purpose than just financial gain. This is where Michael and Rob converged and noticed that there was no real conversation about these exciting new organisations, nor was there a devoted voice to amplify the story telling about them, until now.
