New Ventures

Often they also address the challenges experienced by the world's poor. | We have facilitated more than $203 million in investment, and worked with 250 innovative businesses whose goods and services produce clear, measurable environmental benefits, such as clean energy, efficient water use, and sustainable agriculture. | New Ventures is a program that helps entrepreneurs in some of the world's most dynamic, emerging economies-- Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia and Mexico. | For example, one of the companies we work within China, called Ecostar, refurbished copy machines from the United States and re-sells or leases them for 20 per cent less than a branded photocopier.
