The GI Goes Business Award is looking for innovative ideas and sustainable products, services and business models with positive impacts on Green Infrastructure in the Alpine macroregion. The 2024 edition calls particularly for solutions with benefits for wise water management, climate change mitigation and adaptation. The competition is basically open to everyone. Are you a start-up, a scale-up or a long-established company? Are your products and services still under development or already on the market? Or do you only have a cool business idea, which is not yet concretely developed? It doesn’t matter: You can participate in any case! Businesses can use Green Infrastructure to find solutions to manage water resources wisely, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or to adapt to climate change effects like rising temperatures, droughts, and natural hazards. For example, by renaturalizing river floodplains, enhancing water quality, sponge city and region solutions, rewetting peatlands and paludi culture, improving resilience of managed forests, natural cooling systems with trees and plants, improving ecosystems and ecological connectivity, fostering biodiversity in agriculture, nature-based tourism, nature-based products. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/61ad3a1d-6d30-4642-ba45-b9c149d4aeaf/GI+Pokal.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/1635518581468-GREWEJCDDXBWS00DUWS9/darya-jum-TMtLp0q2p-0-unsplash.jpg Home - Mach es besonders Was auch immer es ist – die Art und Weise, wie du deine Geschichte online vermittelst, kann einen gewaltigen Unterschied ausmachen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/4459810e-6f91-42d5-9462-009be3b71a1a/EUSALP+GI+Graphic+%28EN%29+-+XL_RGB.jpg Home - Mach es besonders Feel free to use the graphic (indicating the copyright as follows: "All rights reserved – Contracting entity and owner of the graphic is the Bavarian State Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection.") https://www.gi-goes-business.eu/imprint daily 0.75 2024-06-12 https://www.gi-goes-business.eu/partners daily 0.75 2024-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/c2081531-6447-4a0d-bff6-0016bc54f4b8/Thomas+Probst_gruen.png Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/3cbb9cb8-dda3-4fa3-8a4e-2eb9dff8a38d/Jonas+von+Rotz_gruen.png Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/3264c1e3-d033-455f-90d6-2e85e354434c/Corin+Meier_gruen.png Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/c7c83e9f-37aa-4fc6-831a-5fd8f9af69de/Lorenz+Kurtz_gruen.png Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/1e9b18cc-4716-491f-81cd-04d9b157652c/Sebastian+Bellwald_gruen.png Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/36d1aa07-30a2-442c-98e4-0fbf9f279d11/Mariadonata_Bancher.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/01de5ec5-fdfd-4f2d-abb5-663d354a3d35/Killian_Foloppe.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/08e39b3d-a043-4822-8061-6b059c96b278/Robert__Winkler.jpeg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/36911d99-6de6-4a7e-8d19-50bd65f31a7d/Marko+Pretner+2.png Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/a58f4635-b6db-418b-a7bd-255b57486772/frederic_bally.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/ee4820fd-dbac-4ecf-b269-67fcb6b77193/Schmid+Johann.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/33200c55-9c64-4d29-97a2-c05129756e0d/Angelika+Abderhalden.JPG Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/a3a1a507-10a0-496b-8a97-3e8859582d7b/Karin+Jehle.jpg Team https://www.gi-goes-business.eu/contact daily 0.75 2024-06-12 https://www.gi-goes-business.eu/downloads daily 0.75 2024-08-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/7ab073a4-eebe-4f07-8f54-3ee58bf1eb54/Visual-Instagram-Story_GI24-1.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/70376c2e-7d69-4410-9062-f3468cf74f36/Visual-Instagram-Feed_GI24-3.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/da82760f-3c46-4f47-af74-d85396500049/Flyer_GIGB2024-EN.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/f440c59b-4ac0-493d-8637-dd7645584497/Visual-GI2024_Website.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/2d5f6bce-9bc4-4b8a-bde0-4bcaf88563f7/GI+Logo+2024.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/5b45d6a2-482c-4994-929b-09b18c0ce1d8/Visual-Instagram-Feed_GI24-2.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/79355cc2-b86a-45f1-8002-7ab352f6f402/Visual-Instagram-Feed_GI24-1.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/733f7e11-93d5-498e-94cb-281cc6c5e87f/Visual-Instagram-Story_GI24-2.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/0e14104f-80aa-458b-92ad-a5923ace6e37/word.png https://www.gi-goes-business.eu/hall-of-fame-2022 daily 0.75 2024-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/b7020cc9-94f9-4119-8ec1-125c6dfe6ab4/8.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611509f19009ae0084d71f87/fea59a11-f4a6-4bfd-9635-a2eb2aee7347/BIDI+Bild2.png.jpg Winners 2022 - BIDI Biodiversitäts-gutscheine Get BIDI for working to increase biodiversity.
