IDG would like to extend our gratitude to the London Stock Exchange (LSE) for hosting our live webinar, “Innovation and Investment – The Course for a Greener Tomorrow”.
The webinar features three companies at the forefront of sustainability and climate initiatives: Green Data, SolarBank, and HydroGraph Clean Power. These companies are pioneering climate innovation, leading the way in transforming the industry.
Leading the conversation, we heard from Jason Bak, CEO of Green Data, a data center and commercial real estate developer focusing on the development of hyper-scale data centers and mixed commercial property in combination with solar generation facilities. Next, Richard Lu, President, CEO & Director presented on SolarBank, a clean energy company focused primarily on distributed and community solar projects in Canada and the United States. Concluding the event was Stuart Jara, CEO of HydroGraph Clean Power, an innovator in nanotechnology with a patented detonation synthesis technology producing pristine graphene and pristine functionalizations. Elizabeth Priestman, CEO of IDG, hosted the panel discussion following the presentations.

In 2019, he created Green Data to focus on sustainable data center infrastructure post a successful company exit. Jason aims to grow Green Data into a multi-billion dollar sustainable infrastructure leader in America with the support of a proven and experienced team.
