Gilad Goren, Executive Director and Founder of Nature Tech Collective, is a social entrepreneur from New York with a background in tourism, travel tech, and philanthropy. He later shifted to impact and blockchain, emphasizing nature and carbon credits. His experience with marketplace solutions and nature-based projects inspired him to help develop the nature tech sector at Nature Tech Collective. Nature Tech Collective & Gilad Goren: Key Points on The Green Insider episode 304: Gilad Goren, transitioned from tourism and travel tech to impact and blockchain, focusing on nature and carbon credits. He built marketplace solutions for nature-based projects and now aims to develop the nature tech sector. Nature Tech Collective was founded three years ago to close the nature finance gap by leveraging technology for better nature data and investments in nature-based solutions. The organization prioritizes a nature-positive transition over carbon credits, urging companies to address nature challenges in their supply chains and focus on long-term sustainability. Technology is used to enhance the reliability and scalability of nature-based solutions, but it should complement ecological knowledge. Nature Tech Collective is based in Delaware but has global members and reach. Gilad is optimistic about growing recognition of nature’s importance, which is driving more investment and accelerating sector growth. The organization is philanthropically backed and entrepreneur-led, taking a pragmatic, product-based approach to environmental initiatives. Corporates are increasingly interested in insetting supply chains and collaborating at the landscape level, documenting carbon savings without necessarily issuing credits. Gilad advocates for a holistic, systemic approach to Nature Tech, encouraging community engagement, resource sharing, and learning from both successes and failures. Announcement: Nature Tech directory will launch during New York Climbing Week; listeners are invited to seek support from the organization.
