Description

This episode of The Green Interview features Andrew Heintzman, the president and co-founder of Investeco, the first Canadian investment company to focus exclusively on investing in environmental sectors. In his recent book, The New Entrepreneurs, Heintzman profiles entrepreneurs who are developing green technology in sectors such as forestry, water, agriculture and energy. He views capitalism as a powerful instrument for social and economic change, and is deeply concerned that Canada's lack of a coherent national strategy on economic questions will reduce our future competitiveness, productivity and prosperity. He advocates taking action to move away from extractive industries and toward an economy based on knowledge and ideas.
