Creating a sustainable future today.

As part of our mission to find the best companies to solve the world’s biggest challenges, Good Company together with SAP, alongside Grove Ventures, Schneider Electric, Irani Ventures, Evonik Venture Capital, Re:Tech, KPMG Israel, Poalim Hi-Tech and Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP, met with diverse startups redefining the how we source, produce, deliver, use and re-use product and consumer goods.

Our planet has provided us with an abundance of its finite natural resources, and in recent decades, modern lifestyles and consumption patterns have undergone radical changes with the continuous extraction of natural resources and people’s exploitation that are not sustainable and go far beyond what our planet can provide, putting unprecedented pressure on the environment.
