Green Impact Exchange Files With S.E.C. to Become the First Green Securities Exchange in the U.S.

Published

on

If approved, GIX would begin operations in early 2025.

NEW YORK, July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Green Impact Exchange (GIX) announced today that it has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking approval as the first stock market in the U.S. dedicated to the emerging $50+ trillion global green economy.

GIX will list companies that make a binding commitment to set, implement, measure, and achieve sustainability goals, and be transparent with investors about their progress. Companies that want to be recognized for their commitment to sustainability can dually-list on GIX without giving up their primary listing exchange.

“Today’s filing is a major step forward for sustainable investors and capital markets,” said GIX CEO and co-founder Dan Labovitz. “GIX will connect investors who care about sustainability with companies that are credibly committed to becoming and being sustainable.”

“Capital markets have historically enabled companies to efficiently raise needed capital for business development and innovation.” remarked GIX co-founder Charles Dolan. “GIX will harness the power of markets to benefit the environment, improve investor protection, and drive economic growth as the world shifts toward a greener economy.”

GIX’s listing standards create accountability for companies by requiring them to have an internal governance infrastructure that supports their sustainable promises. Investors can rely on GIX to distinguish between companies that are serious about sustainability and companies that are greenwashing.

“Accountability for sustainability promises is key. The marketplace needs a ‘trust but verify’ approach to help reduce greenwashing,” commented Shiva Rajgopal, Columbia Business School professor and GIX Advisor. “There’s a tremendous financial opportunity to bring together sustainable-minded investors with companies working hard to meet their environmental commitments. For that opportunity to be realized, there needs to be better transparency and accountability of sustainability initiatives and reporting. GIX will provide that.”

The GIX trading platform will be powered by state-of-the-art technology. GIX will offer non-tiered, competitive liquidity and quoting programs for members and market makers. As part of the National Market System (NMS), GIX will ensure best execution for all trades directed or routed to the exchange.

GIX will also implement a Return to Green program that commits a portion of its gross revenue to support organizations on the front lines of sustainability efforts.

About The Green Impact Exchange:
The Green Impact Exchange (GIX) will be the first national securities exchange in the U.S. dedicated to the emerging $50+ trillion global green economy. GIX’s innovative listing standards prioritize sustainable governance, meaningful disclosures and accountability. The standards will improve investor confidence in environmental commitments, encourage sustainable capital formation, and combat greenwashing. GIX was founded by a team of financial services professionals with decades of deep experience in global exchanges, market & trade operations, corporate governance, and sustainability.

The Great Reset, the First Photorealistic AI Film Makes History at the Cannes Film Festival

Published

By

The film produced entirely with artificial intelligence positions Spanish filmmaker Daniel H. Torrado as a pioneer in a new era of cinema.

CANNES, France, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Following its screening at the European Film Market of the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) last February, the apocalyptic sci-fi thriller ‘The Great Reset’ has been presented at the Cannes Film Festival’s Marché du Film. It is the first time that a feature film created with artificial intelligence (AI) has been presented at the world’s leading professional film market, where it has aroused significant interest among distributors and specialised media.

The work, written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Daniel H. Torrado, is both a narrative and technological milestone and positions the Spanish filmmaker as a pioneer in a new era of cinema.

The innovative impact of ‘The Great Reset’ has been recognised by the prestigious specialist magazine The Hollywood Reporter, which dedicated in its special edition on the Cannes Film Festival an article entitled ‘Spain tests the waters of artificial intelligence’. The article highlights the pioneering role of the film and especially Torrado’s participation in the advances of artificial intelligence in the audiovisual field.

It is a production of the companies Virtual World Pictures and Canary Film Factory.

The project began in 2023 with the writing of the script. Over the last year, the AI workflow has been designed and optimised, including fine-tuning of the models, to ensure full control over the creativity of the material generated. Although the entire film was computer generated, and all sets and characters were created digitally, some scenes used actors as reference for acting and dubbing.

AI was involved in all stages of production and post-production, from image and animation generation to sound design, but always with human supervision.

“We are very proud to present The Great Reset at the Cannes Film Festival’s Marché du Film, a space where the most innovative ideas in contemporary cinema converge. It will undoubtedly be a key impulse to introduce the world to this story that explores not only the narrative potential of AI, but also its ability to transform the film industry,” said Torrado.

In the film, an artificial intelligence, created from the mind of an unscrupulous hacker, sets in motion an apocalyptic plan to destroy the world in order to save the only person he has ever loved: his daughter. Faced with the collapse of humanity and the echoes of a broken past, Emma embarks on a desperate race to save the world.
