Information about the programme is here. “Our objective is for WIPO GREEN to become a go-to platform for green technologies, thanks to our growing network of partners and innovative collaborations with major global technology databases,” WIPO Director General Francis Gurry said in a release. WIPO Green has two components, according to the website, a database and a network. The database “consists of a range of IP assets including inventions, technologies, know-how and services and a catalogue of expressed needs. The database is freely accessible with certain details available only upon registration,” it says. The network “serves as a global platform that connects users, fosters partnerships and provides a marketplace for green inventions, technologies, know-how and services.” The website provides a platform to match those with patented green technologies or consulting services to promote their goods with those who have needs for commercial deals. The project has over 30 partners, including mainly industry groups and think tanks.

The two partners work to convert Infratel towers in India into green sites with an overall plan to cut 11,000 tonnes of carbon emissions due to reduced diesel usage. Reply
