Greenhouse
ABOUT
The Clinton Global Initiative has a long history of supporting innovators and entrepreneurs from around the world aiming to make a positive difference. In its early days, CGI was one of the first promoters of the role of the private sector in developing innovative solutions that could be brought to scale. At CGI’s 2022 Meeting, we are launching the CGI Greenhouse, programming designed to support socially-minded entrepreneurs and innovators.
More than 100 non-profit and for-profit social impact enterprises applied to be a part of this first-ever CGI Entrepreneurship Greenhouse. At CGI’s 2022 Meeting, the 19 of the 31 finalists will present to an audience of potential partners and funders including Fortune 500 companies, large private and corporate foundations, family offices, and impact investors ready to implement their products and services.
