In 2011, with the support of research institutes and universities in Argentina and France, Dr. Boulanger created the company ECOCLIMASOL (www.ecoclimasol.com), whose mission is to accompany companies and public institutions in reducing their vulnerability to climate and in implementing operational sustainable development strategies.
