The Global Enabling Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), a member-centric, cross-industry business association leading the movement that defines, demonstrates, and acts on the enabling role of digital solutions in sustainability, today announced an exciting partnership with Greentown Labs, the world’s largest climatetech and energy incubator.
