It started with a meta-study co-founders Bernard Lebelle (previously National Innovation Director at Deloitte Canada) and his wife Lila launched to understand why existing clean technology solutions were not truly scaled. The night before, Alexandre, the youngest of their 4 sons, had worried, “I’ll only be 21 years old by 2030… will I not have a future?”.
This comment incited them into action.
Our goal is to positively impact 800 million lives by 2030. How can we ensure any organization can improve its environmental footprint by leveraging existing solutions?
We reversed-engineered success from 3 key findings of our meta-study:
• First, scout for existing solutions across the world– do not reinvent the wheel.
• Second, build financially viable business models.
• Third, consider the environment as a key strategic business survival issue.
The Green Link creates systemic solutions-sets to help clients solve environmental challenges by scanning for existing technology through a combination of our international Technology Scout network, A.I. profiling & search engine capabilities. We accompany our clients throughout the journey, including gaining access to green-funding.
A.I. is a critical component to our value proposition.
It gives us the strategic capability to enhance our Technology Scouts’ work by enabling rapid searches in almost any language across any industry /technology. A.I. also profiles companies’ sustainability issues and detects trends on operational environmental challenges across adjacent industries.
The Green Link is headquartered in Montreal, with presence in Toronto, Paris, Amsterdam, Sao Paulo, Dubai and New Delhi.
We chose Quebec because it’s a global ‘hot spot’ for A.I. development. Montreal has an unparalleled concentration of talent, companies, and R & D, which makes it superbly well suited for ventures working with A.I.
