UN Sustainable Development Goals

In September 2015, the General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

BIZNOVATOR addresses 8 out of the 17 SDG’s, building on the principle of “leaving no one behind”, the new Agenda emphasizes a holistic approach to achieving sustainable development for all.

OUR BRANDING

Meaning:

ATP is the most basic vehicle for energy in life. Potential energy is held in the triphosphate molecule. When ATP arrives at the place in need of energy, the furthest phosphate breaks and transfers the energy. At this time the ATP becomes ADP and must find another phosphate to re-energize. A single ATP molecule is recycled hundreds of times a day.

Our greatest hope is to help BIZNOVATORS use their potential energy to impact their communities. And just how ATP is recycled hundreds of times a day, we hope BIZNOVATOR’s impact will be multiplied by others.
