The Ground Up Association is a Swiss-based non-profit that pursues a triple objective: i) advance and promote research in the field of social and environmental entrepreneurship; ii) contribute to public good projects that have a measurable environmental and/or social impact; iii) advance the study and understanding of the green and social local economy. To reach this goal, The Ground Up Association closely collaborates with The Ground Up Project SA, a Swiss-based enterprise leading data aggregator for small-scale projects under $10M with an environmental impact. As a leading platform, Group_Up achieves scale through their proprietary Value Compass, which analyzes investment potentials of small environmental impact projects. Ground_Up uses strategic partnerships, user-generated content, and big data to provide easy access to standardized, relevant, trustworthy information about projects to private and public finance organizations, technology providers, entrepreneurs, NGOs, donor governments and other stakeholders.
