Accelerating Nature-Based Enterprises

The global shift towards biodiversity conservation and ecological restoration is creating unprecedented opportunities for innovation. Whether you’re building a Nature-based enterprise, advancing a NatureTech innovation, or developing your professional expertise, EcoLaunch positions you at the forefront of this rapidly growing movement.

What is EcoLaunch?

EcoLaunch is not a traditional course or passive learning experience. It is a dynamic, participant-driven accelerator program designed for practitioners, social entrepreneurs, and innovators focused on Nature-based Solutions and NatureTech.

Instead of a rigid syllabus or pre-determined curriculum, EcoLaunch creates intentional spaces for meaningful exchanges, collaboration, and innovation. Guided by over 80 leading global experts, you’ll be immersed in conversations tailored to your evolving needs, developing skills, building networks, and gaining deep insights vital for your unique journey.

How the Program Works

EcoLaunch runs for 35 weeks, organised into three intensive, interactive nine-week sprints, each separated by a restorative four-week break. Each sprint features:

  • Intention-Setting:
    Clearly define personal and professional objectives at the beginning of each sprint. Whether you’re launching a start-up, scaling an enterprise, or honing your professional skills, setting clear intentions ensures your experience is impactful and aligned with your goals.
  • Expert Masterclasses:
    Each week, engage in live, interactive, 90-minute panel discussions with global experts in biodiversity conservation, ecological restoration, NatureTech, regenerative finance, policy innovation, and more. Rather than static presentations, these sessions evolve dynamically, guided by participant questions and real-time challenges.
  • Reflective Retrospectives:
    At the end of each sprint, consolidate your learning, reflect on challenges overcome, insights gained, and recalibrate your strategic direction. This structured reflection ensures continuous personal and professional growth and turns insights into tangible outcomes.

By actively participating, you will:

  • Build deep connections with a global network of Nature-based entrepreneurs and practitioners.
  • Gain customised advice and strategies relevant to your unique stage and challenges.
  • Access practical tools and frameworks to accelerate your enterprise or professional journey.
  • Experience personal growth, building resilience and clarity around your mission.

Who Should Join?

EcoLaunch is ideal for you if:

  • You’re developing or scaling a NatureTech or Nature-based enterprise.
  • You’re a consultant or practitioner seeking deeper expertise, broader networks, and practical frameworks to grow your professional impact.
  • You’re exploring new opportunities within biodiversity conservation, ecological restoration, or regenerative systems and want expert guidance and peer support.

Regardless of your current stage—ideation, early-stage start-up, scaling up, or established professional—EcoLaunch adapts to your specific context, providing tailored support to maximise your growth and impact.

Why This Matters

The biodiversity crisis is urgent—1 million species face extinction within decades, and ecosystems worldwide require immediate, innovative solutions. With substantial policy momentum and over $200 billion annually being mobilised for Nature-positive outcomes under frameworks like the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, now is the critical moment to position yourself as a leader in this space.
