This report provides a list of promising projects and technologies that have been used in places around the world. It is meant to be used by the companies looking to score contracts with (local) governments to the benefit of all parties included. As such, it could help businesses -- in partnerships with governments -- launch similar initiatives in their own municipalities.

There is a takeaway (summary) for every project as well as what we call the "Action point" that justifies launching the same or similar project in other parts of the world (where applicable). In addition, we also provide links to relevant parties that have been included in every project -- or those that are offering solutions related to the project.

It is our hope that this list will provide the reader with enough ideas to make his/her city a better place while also helping his/her own company.

We have created Sustainable Avenue after realizing that many (local) government officials are out of time. Just remember Mark Zuckerberg's Senate hearing -- some senators didn't have an idea how Facebook is working and making money. And, mind you, we're talking about one of the most valuable companies in the world.

The situation is similarly dire in many local jurisdictions all around the world. Yes, you got that right - this isn't the problem only poor countries are facing; the sad truth is that clueless politicians are spread all across the globe.

Sustainable Avenue is designed to help you score government contracts by showing you projects that are, in many cases, already working in some parts of the world. And they could be, at least partially, copied to work in other places as well.

For every project - we provide details, takeaway and, where applicable - also some photos and a video. Links to websites and LinkedIn profiles of companies developing those projects are included, as well.

You get to browse projects by a few different criteria: Sections, Technologies and Countries. From this page, you get to see all the different categories. Or you can use the search functionality.

The action on your behalf starts once you find a project you could copy/sell to the (local) government. From there, you could:

• Contact a company behind the project to see whether you could establish a partnership to offer something similar (or same) in the communities you serve
• Print the project page and mail to the local official who may be involved in procurements (to gather interest). There is an option to "Hide the action point" when printing - which you may want to use.
• Think about all the different ways how that project could be implemented in communities you operate in
• Engage other employees into the project, collect their input and ideas

Upon receiving all that feedback and information -- from the company that developed the project/technology, your colleagues and perhaps even someone from the (local) government -- it is time to get to work. Start preparing marketing and all other materials that may be needed down the line. You may have to engage the local media or a few websites to publish stories relevant to the project to further convince the government -- so be prepared.

The point is -- you get a few dozen projects with more coming every month. Even if you don't find anything relevant at this time (and we kinda doubt that), don't worry - you will find one eventually. And if everything else fails - you can contact us and demand a project that could be used by a company like yours. We're here to help. 😉

Congratulations! You are at the end of the ebook, but that's just a start.

Aside from these 50, there are more projects on the Sustainable Avenue website with new ones being added on a regular basis. As the site member, you will be notified via email about all new projects that get included on the site.

However, if you could not find something that could fit your unique needs -- feel free to contact us and explain what you're looking for. We'll try our best to find something similar, something that works for you.

It is our hope that Sustainable Avenue will help your business flourish and ultimately - make municipalities you serve that much better.

To your success!

Sustainable Avenue team
