LeadIT and the  World Intellectual Property Organization  (WIPO) are collaborating  to raise awareness and visibility of the WIPO GREEN database of green technologies.  By working with WIPO we hope to encourage more knowledge sharing amongst LeadIT members and stakeholders and provide a valuable source of technology solutions.  The database features approximately 130,000 green technologies, contributed by companies, researchers and diverse stakeholders including LeadIT members and stakeholders.

WIPO GREEN is an online platform for technology exchange that connects providers and seekers of green technologies. It is unique because it assembles in one place technologies at all stages of development, from prototypes to marketable products. These technologies are available for license, collaboration, joint ventures, and sale. By including eco-friendly technologies as well as technology “needs” in its database, WIPO GREEN is a go-to platform for green technology innovation.

By collaborating with WIPO GREEN, LeadIT aims to support and inspire project developers, technology providers, and potential technology users who are:

• Seeking technology solutions to inspire or guide the design and development of their technical assistance requests for addressing specific climate challenges;
• Seeking to identify companies and institutions that offer climate technology solutions;
• Looking for potential partners to collaborate on implementing climate technology solutions and interested in showcasing their climate technology solutions to a broad, global audience.
