The Center for Advancing Innovation and Ignite Social Impact Announce Partnership with U.S. Coalition on Sustainability

Bethesda, Maryland Aug 19, 2021 (Issuewire.com)  - The Center for Advancing Innovation (CAI) and Ignite Social Impact (Ignite) have partnered with the U.S. Coalition on Sustainability (USCS), a non-profit organization dedicated to unifying and accelerating humanity’s progress toward achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

In 2020, the USCS launched SustainChain™, a public service digital platform that connects innovators, impact investors, brands, NGOs, and alliances with a shared mission of building a more sustainable supply chain. With this partnership, the USCS is inviting members of CAI's community, which includes 3500+ entrepreneurs and 300+ spin-out companies from CAI's nine global innovation challenges, to become members of SustainChain. In addition, Ignite -- launched from CAI in 2020 -- will refer private U.S. companies, which are issuing securities through Regulation Crowdfunding on its funding portal, to SustainChain.

Rosemarie Truman, Founder and CEO of CAI and Co-Founder and CEO of Ignite Social Impact, said, “The CAI and Ignite community has thousands of innovators who are passionate about making a positive impact on the world. SustainChain’s unique platform gives them the opportunity to make a call to action to others who truly share their passion, saving them valuable time and helping them to solve the world’s most pressing sustainability challenges.”

Jacqueline Corbelli, Founder of USCS and SustainChain, said, "As the world’s first SDG accelerator, SustainChain is purpose-built to serve as a matchmaker and marketplace connecting relevant players, actions, and funding across the sustainability ecosystem. We are excited to expand our community of changemakers on the platform thanks to our new partnership with CAI and Ignite. Together, we look forward to turning individual efforts into combined outcomes.”
