GDDP has transitioned to Project Greenlight
In response to industry demand, VEC has reimagined the GDDP program as a membership-based network consisting of major asset owners in Metro Vancouver. Current members include TransLink, FortisBC, City of Vancouver, City of New Westminster, and QuadReal Properties.
The Green and Digital Demonstration Program (GDDP) provides access to City of Vancouver assets and infrastructure (i.e. buildings, streets, vehicles, digital infrastructure) for product testing and showcase opportunities, as well as critical follow-on connections and business expansion support from VEC staff. VEC delivers GDDP in collaboration with the City of Vancouver and with support from our corporate partner, TD Bank Group through its corporate citizenship platform The Ready Commitment.
