Thanks to Project Green Light, Novion had the opportunity to partner with the City of Vancouver to design and deliver our Climate Intelligence Platform. With this powerful tool, cities can now effectively design, plan, monitor, and manage their green stormwater infrastructure and mitigate issues like urban flooding while improving water quality. This partnership allowed us to expand our reach across Canada to establish best practices that will shape the future of green infrastructure management.

The Soil Health and Nutrient Management Challenge has given us the opportunity to collaborate with other innovators and bring the FARMEYE platform to new audiences. Our software platform will help Ontario farmers measure and manage large-scale natural capital datasets to achieve Science Based Targets initiatives (SBTis) and use the most advanced Technology-Stack and accreditation to verify Natural Capital datasets, including soil health, soil carbon, water quality, and biodiversity.
Foresight also offers the SDG Connect Challenge service. We connect Canadian businesses to global market opportunities by running innovation Challenges with international partners and local companies looking to overcome barriers to sustainability. There's no cost to companies other than their time. Each challenge takes five months to complete.
