Regenerative Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship as an instrument to revitalize nature and societies.
GROW in Entrepreneurship strengthens locally rooted, impact‑driven entrepreneurship to help regional communities thrive. We unite ecosystem leaders across bioregions in a year‑round programme of joint learning, blending evidence, peer exchange and hands‑on experimentation, where peers analyze, improve, and accelerate their own innovation ecosystems.
Together we connect the most promising entrepreneurs from every region into a globally linked community, sharing open innovation tools, challenge funds, and role models. Working closely with GROW in Research, we help bring research challenges, insights, and solutions out of the lab and into society - and vice versa! -, where they create tangible, regenerative impact for people and planet every day.
