In a partnership between Autodesk Inc. and the Ghana Climate Innovation Centre GCIC), three GCIC supported climate innovation start-ups  will receive a donation of Autodesk software and technology that enables 3D design, engineering, visualization, and simulation of ideas for impact. The businesses are: Cibus Technologies Limited, Sustainable Energy Technologies Limited and Special Learning Materials Limited.

Since its inception in 2014, the Autodesk Foundation has supported impact-oriented organizations—including non-profits, social enterprises, and start-ups – by providing funding, software, training, and related support, so that these organizations can maximize their impact. The Autodesk Technology Impact Program offers selected social impact organizations access to three-year subscriptions of powerful software valued at up to $600,000.

With access to the solutions provided through the partnership, the GCIC supported climate innovation enterprises  will have the opportunity to scale their innovation and drive business growth, thus maximizing their social and environmental impact as is the aim of both collaborating organizations.
