Envision 2028“In the last 20 years, the world changed dramatically, in many ways.

Thanks to innovations in products and services, humanity’s future generations now look forward to a sustainable, resilient relationship with the planet’s ecosystems.”

For one, the Green Revolution transformed our lives.


“One of the internationally recognized hotspots for green innovations is in the center of Upstate New York. Firms and institutions across the region function as a vibrant ‘innovation ecosystem’ — including research, development, commercialization, and education as interdependent components —

that fuels the region’s economic, social and environmental health.”
