The need for a sustainable environment is becoming increasingly critical as we face mounting global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion. Achieving sustainability involves balancing economic growth, environmental protection, and social well-being to ensure a healthy planet for future generations. Key international efforts, such as COP28 and the Paris Agreement, play pivotal roles in addressing these challenges and promoting a sustainable future. Meeting Net Zero goals is vital today for several compelling reasons that encompass environmental, economic, and social dimensions. The most pressing reason is the urgent need to address climate change. Global temperatures are rising at an unprecedented rate, primarily due to human activities that emit greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide and methane. This warming leads to severe and often irreversible impacts on natural systems, including more frequent and intense heatwaves, storms, droughts, and rising sea levels. Achieving net zero, where the amount of GHGs emitted is balanced by the amount removed from the atmosphere, is crucial to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, a threshold identified by scientists as critical to avoiding the worst impacts of climate change. Economically, transitioning to a Net Zero economy presents significant opportunities. It drives innovation, leading to the development of new technologies and industries, particularly in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable transportation. These sectors are poised for growth, creating millions of jobs and fostering economic resilience. Moreover, reducing dependence on fossil fuels can enhance energy security and reduce the volatility associated with fossil fuel markets. It also mitigates the economic risks associated with climate impacts, such as infrastructure damage, agricultural losses, and health costs, which can be substantial. We work with clients who integrate their investments into sustainability and are looking out for innovations to drive their sustainable ‘profitability’.
carbon market participants into a global ecosystem for financial and environmental gains, with a focus on energy, water, and food. It serves as a distributed hub and connective tissue to link multiple international carbon exchanges and other buyside carbon emitters and custodians with supply-side carbon offset projects and ESG project owners globally to drive distribution. For the purpose of keeping carbon credit ledger data up to date, their software also communicates with reputable third-party registries.

After a year of service, the e-ferry’s operators concluded that the system has a highly sustainable energy efficiency of 85%, almost twice that of diesel boats. With this background, the US$20 billion market expectation for electric watercraft seems more than reasonable. To support this industry, we are following a firm that has designed, and begun delivering, an electric-powered watercraft. Destined for the lucrative leisure market, this is a mere stepping stone to the huge water taxi market for which a design is already complete.
technology that detects one of the deadliest types of cancer and treats it without damaging healthy cells and tissues. Its electromagnetic stimulation, combined with a nanotechnology system, has demonstrated the preclinical treatment to be safe and effective. The medical device has been classified as class III to chronically treat and reduce cancer’s mass significantly from further development. The firm has started Phase I and seeking investments to support this phase. Based on Phase I results, which will be within 12-15 months, they plan an IPO for Phase II, the last one before the commercial launch in North America by 2024.
The firm’s platform matches investors with advanced learners by exploiting the fully scalable and high-return potential of non-loan Income Share Agreements (ISA’s). Investors in ISA’s may finely tune their investment criteria to match their corporate objectives, which may include CSR targets. Currently, the firm is proposing two types of investment opportunity: in the infinite possibilities of direct investments in ISA’s and, more conventionally, investments in shares (and, as the firm is designated by the French state as an innovative firm, offers the possibility of French residency/citizenship).
