Building the Business Case for Brilliant Solutions

About Athena

There is a quiet revolution afoot. Advances in smart innovation- (sensors, communication, control and automation), and green innovation-(advanced materials, efficiencies and sustainable approaches) are converging to create incredible opportunities for making businesses, buildings, utilities and regions more effective.

We founded Athena because there are smarter and greener ways of doing things. But this isn't about putting the environment first at the expense of everything else. We strive to find that subset of innovations that are truly brilliant because they meet three very important criteria:· Economically valuable--solutions that support the business outcomes and are cost-effective from an ROI and payback perspective· Environmentally sound--solutions that improve the impacts on our natural and social resources· Secure and stable--solutions that are operationally reliable, resilient to natural or man-made threat, and flexible and adaptable to future needs.


Our focus is on deployment and diffusion of these brilliant solutions. We help unleash the value of these approaches through research, events, consulting and market development activities. Are you a vendor, policymaker, or adopter looking to find or promote these solutions? Contact us.
