        <potential_impact><![CDATA[<p>GreenTechNow is a ServiceNow-powered digital collaboration and innovation management platform designed to accelerate climate technology projects across industries and governments.</p>
<p>It connects innovators, regulators, investors, and auditors in one ecosystem — promoting transparent evaluation, funding, and monitoring of sustainability-focused innovations.</p>]]></potential_impact>
        <problem_statement>One of the G20’s major goals is driving sustainable and green innovation through digital technology.&#13;
However, many startups, innovators, and research teams working on climate and green technology solutions face these key challenges:&#13;
&#13;
Fragmented collaboration channels between government, investors, and innovators.&#13;
&#13;
Slow approval and funding processes for green projects.&#13;
&#13;
Lack of centralized visibility into environmental impact metrics.&#13;
&#13;
As a result, great innovations in renewable energy, waste reduction, and carbon management struggle to move from idea to large-scale implementation.</problem_statement>

        <solution_proposal><![CDATA[<h2><strong>How do you envision the ideal solution to this  problem?</strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<h3>Which ServiceNow products or capabilities would be used?</h3>
<p></p><p>App Engine Studio</p>
<p>Build a digital Innovation Portal where startups and institutions can submit green-tech proposals, upload prototypes, and request support.</p>
<p>Flow Designer &amp; Service Catalog</p>
<p>Automate proposal review and funding approval workflows involving multiple stakeholders (e.g., energy ministry, sustainability boards, or investors).</p>
<p>IntegrationHub</p>
<p>Connects with third-party carbon tracking systems, IoT platforms, or renewable energy data APIs to collect impact metrics (e.g., CO₂ reduction, energy efficiency rates).</p>
<p> </p>
<hr style="border-top: 3px solid #bbb;" />
<h3>Are there any technical dependencies for the proposed solution?</h3>
