Innovation Academy e.V. now cooperates with Atmosfair

Climate protection as an element of sustainable development is a major focus for Innovation Academy.  Since early 2010 we have been cooperating with the non-profit organization Atmosfair and now offer our clients a chance to contribute to climate protection.

Why does this make sense?  Every trip we undertake produces greenhouse gases through transportation, over-night stays, meals and other activities.  Air travel is a large part of the problem.  A flight of 1000 km has the same effect as about 279 kg carbon dioxide.  So a long trip quickly produces several tons of CO2 and other gases harmful to the climate.

How does a contribution to climate protection work?  You voluntarily pay for the climate gases you create.  The money will be invested in solar, hydropower, biomass or other energy saving projects in order to compensate for the greenhouse gas emissions.  The financing will go towards projects in developing countries.  Your money thus helps make these projects possible.

Will the money get there safely?  When you book your program with Innovation Academy, you can voluntarily decide on an amount for climate protection.  Innovation Academy will transfer all the climate protection donations to Atmosfair on a quarterly basis.  Atmosfair will send you an e-mail with a certificate for your contribution to climate protection and you can also print out a donation receipt.  Atmosfair is known as one of the world’s best organizers in this field and adheres to the highest standards for its projects.

Innovation Academy in Brescia

Our colleague Ilaria De Altin participated in the 12/12/2009 in a conference in Brescia, Italy:

"Un futuro energetico senza nuove centrali"
An energy-efficient future without new power stations.

The aim of the conference was to present successful examples from local European municipal districts in order to derive impulses and proposals for the future energy supply of the city of Brescia.  De Altin presented internationally renowned projects from the Solar Region and the “Green City of Freiburg”.
platzhalter Namely, an energy efficient school, a solarized football stadium, solar modernization of high rise buildings and the “Solar Ship”, the model city district of Vauban and, finally, the village of Freiamt which already meets its entire power needs with renewable energy.

After this positive experience, Innovation Academy is now available for lectures abroad.  Our polyglot team can speak to you in English, French, Italian, Spanish, Arabic and Korean.
