Description

In The New Entrepreneurs, author and venture capitalist Andrew Heintzman introduces us to the innovative business leaders who are at the forefront of the green economy. From forestry, water, and energy to transportation and agriculture, Heintzman profiles the enterprises that are developing cutting-edge, clean-tech products and innovations for export to a vast and rapidly expanding global market. In a world that faces growing threats of climate change, peak oil, and resource scarcity, Heintzman shares his vision of a new and prosperous way forward.

Highly engaging and a powerful call to action, The New Entrepreneurs offers a fresh and visionary approach to redesigning our current economic system, one that uses the powerful forces of capitalism to act as a catalyst for broad social change.

[Andrew] Heintzman certainly practices what he preaches and provides an interesting look at possibilities of the not-so-distant future, told with a specifically Canadian slant.

— Canadian Geographic

Heintzman’s authentic vision for Canada’s green industrial revolution and compelling portraits of the initial revolutionaries already making it happen in the trenches is an inspiring read.
