Entrepreneur Ziv Aviram and the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton, announced the establishment of EcoBridge
In a major step towards combating the escalating climate crisis, Israeli entrepreneur and businessman Ziv Aviram announced the launch of EcoBridge at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) 2023 in New York. EcoBridge will be an innovative global investment fund with a focus on technology and innovation, aimed at bridging the gap between today's climate challenges and the transformative technology companies that hold the promise of a more sustainable tomorrow.
EcoBridge is creating an Impact Advisory Board to gain the insight of its members and to help the fund with respect to its analysis of climate sustainability. President Bill Clinton will serve as chair of the Impact Advisory Board, advising EcoBridge on climate impact across different political, economic and government environments. The Impact Advisory Board will be supported by the Clinton Foundation, to align EcoBridge’s investment focus with the educational and climate impact goals of the Foundation.
"The intersection of innovation and climate action is where true transformation occurs. EcoBridge is a catalyst for change,” said Ziv Aviram, Co-founder & Chairman of EcoBridge. “We're not just investing in technologies; we're investing in a better world. Our choices today will shape the legacy we leave for generations to come."
EcoBridge is led by its co-founders: Ziv Aviram, Itai Lemberger, and Robert Citrone. In a landscape where the climate crisis looms large, EcoBridge’s focus is unwaveringly centered on technology and innovation to shape a future that is both sustainable and resilient, setting it apart from traditional climate funds. EcoBridge strives to be at the forefront of Climate Tech advancements, making a tangible impact on the world.
"Of the many challenges we face, there is perhaps none which requires our collective action as urgently as climate change,” said President Clinton. “We know that when we work together, we can move the needle on this issue very quickly – and that there are passionate entrepreneurs and innovators all around the world already working to both advance proven climate solutions and pioneer new ones. This exciting new climate tech fund has the potential to unlock revolutionary solutions to this existential challenge."
EcoBridge is a New York-based investment manager with a strategic presence in Israel that has a mandate to manage private investment funds with a global focus.
