Company
Tomorrow starts with today's choices
GreenDecision was founded in 2015 as a spin-off of Ca' Foscari University of Venice to turn scientific knowledge into concrete, measurable action
Our story
Turning knowledge into action
GreenDecision was founded with the support of Ca' Foscari University of Venice by a team of PhDs in environmental sciences, computer science and statistics who wanted to move knowledge from academia into everyday decisions.
From local and national collaborations, the company has grown into an international partner for research consortia, companies and institutions working on environmental sustainability, innovation and health-related challenges.
Today GreenDecision combines strategic consulting, scientific analysis and practical digital tools to support meaningful decisions for people and planet.
