SOLVED expert service aims to be the world’s leading cleantech community

The new portal integrates top cleantech companies – among them Gaia – customers and media as well as problems and solutions into a dynamic online expert service.

In SOLVED (www.solved.fi), top experts of Cleantech Finland’s member companies and partner organisations will solve global and local environmental problems. The service will be used to channel experience, and it will also provide information for buyers, suppliers and investors.

Gaia as a key provider of innovative cleantech solutions worldwide is highly prominent in SOLVED. Gaia’s Leading Consultant Tiina Pursula and Managing Director Juha Vanhanen, along with other top cleantech experts from various organisations, solve the world’s greatest problems online in SOLVED. The recent case studies in the portal include a fascinating story from Ethiopia where biomass consumption was cut by 70% with Gaia’s biomass stove business model. The success story from Ethiopia will soon be followed by other case studies portraying Gaia’s work with both private and public clients.
