Who we work with
Ministries, regulators and municipalities, international financial institutions and leading companies in environment, waste management, cities and urban development, energy and agriculture.
What we do
Four ways we work, often within one engagement: from the first diagnosis to a system in operation or a project at financial close.
DIGITAL SOLUTIONS
Systems, platforms and data tools for regulators and operators: licensing, tracking, inspection and performance analytics.
TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS
Technologies we developed or co-developed, from the Plantform bioreactor for plant propagation to satellite detection of landfill methane.
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
Projects investors can finance: concession and PPP structuring, feasibility, financing solutions and independent technical due diligence.
How we work differently
- No shelf studies Decisions you can act on
- No black-box models You own the model and the data
- No copy-paste regulation Rules fitted to your market
- No hand-off and walk away We stay through roll-out
