The regenerative economy describes an approach that goes beyond traditional sustainability. It is not just about doing less damage and reducing your ecological footprint, but actively doing good and generating positive effects. Imagine a garden. Instead of just picking the fruit and sowing a few new seeds, you create healthy soil and a diverse plant community. Regenerative economics works in a similar way. It is an economic system that not only conserves natural resources, but regenerates them. Compared to the circular economy, which focuses on minimizing waste and wastefulness, the regenerative economy aims to maximize the positive effects.
What development opportunities and market potential does regenerative economy offer for SMEs? What business models already exist and where do experts see new potential? And what specific funding opportunities are available to companies?
NRW.BANK would like to provide initial answers to these questions at its online event on June 16 from 4 to 5.30 p.m. and has invited renowned experts from science and practice.
