VC Elements is a brand new channel brought to you by Visual Capitalist which uses data-driven visuals to bridge the gap between the global trends shaping our future and the raw materials powering them.

In particular, we’ll be unearthing the following trends: Markets, Energy, Technology, Urbanization, Electrification.

The channel will look at the untapped potential of the material world, specifically looking at:

Investment.

We’ll shine a light on the investment opportunities surrounding this space.

Dependency.

Everything we own is either grown or mined. Raw materials are at the core of our day to day lives, but how many of us actually know where these everyday objects come from?

Scarcity.

Natural resources are the backbone of the industrial economy, but the current rate of consumption is putting increased pressure on them.

Efficiency.

The world will need to invest $240 billion over the next five years to meet growing metals demand alone. We will create educational content, examining the latest sustainable technologies, and the raw materials powering them.

What content can I expect?

Below are some of the pieces recently published on the channel covering topics including markets, technology, energy and urbanization.

For over a decade, Visual Capitalist has been working towards making the world’s data more accessible—but we can’t do it all on our own.

That’s why we’re excited to launch our first-ever Data Creator Con!

This new virtual event on June 14th will bring us and the best data storytellers together in one place, to celebrate the community and help make a bigger impact on the world.

The theme this year is ‘Mobilizing the Future of Data Storytelling’ and explores how the next generation of data creators are adapting to an increasingly mobile-first world. Learn more about our upcoming event below.

Event Details

To kick things off, our Founder & Editor-in-Chief, Jeff Desjardins will be covering the evolution of data storytelling. This will also include a sneak peek of our upcoming VC App—the go-to place for discovering, sharing and discussing data-driven visuals on pretty much any topic.

But that’s not all—we’re thrilled to be hosting some of the best talent from our Creator Program. In particular, you’ll get to hear the unconventional journey and expertise of James Eagle who is a highly regarded data storyteller originating in the financial services sector.
