Developing the HeCo Invest platform.

The brief.

The challenge was clear: create a platform that addresses the conservation financing gap in the Amazon, ensuring both a broad regional perspective and a deep dive into Colombia's specific needs. In collaboration with key partners like the Inter-American Development Bank, Google Cloud, and the Basque Centre for Climate Change, we integrated cutting-edge technology and methodologies to bring this vision to life.

Our role.

At the heart of HeCo-Invest is our blend of core services, tailored for the project's unique challenges. We combined science, data, and design to make it intuitive and actionable. Through strategic guidance, we understood the needs of investors and local Amazon project developers. This informed the platform's design and functionality. Leveraging environmental and geospatial data, we provided context to projects, amplifying impact. Together with BC3, we developed a score of expected impact along four sustainability dimensions for every project. These scores are calculated using a combination of landscape-level variables (provided by ARIES) and self-reported project data (provided by HeCo Invest users).We added step-by-step guidance to fill out all relevant information and an intuitive back office for administrators. Collaborating with multiple partners, we promoted a unified vision and seamlessly integrated diverse services.

Delivered with impact.

Meaningful Matches.

HeCo-Invest simplifies the intricate process of connecting investors with impactful Amazon conservation projects. While due diligence remains essential, the platform provides a substantial head start. By supporting national governments in their conservation goals, we ensure their commitments lead to tangible and effective actions.
