🌿Recap of our plenary session Accelerating Change: The Rise of the Ecopreneur.
How can a new generation of ecopreneurs accelerate the transition to a net zero and a nature positive economy by building businesses that prioritize sustainability alongside profitability?
🎯You have to be fearless when building a company; don’t be intimidated by people in powerful structures who look and sound different to you.
🎯Learn from your suppliers’ values, remain connected to every level of your company and community and embrace those who challenge you.
🎯Policy creates the necessary framework for going forward. Policymakers are looking for innovation, so utilize their support.
🎯Creating a business is capital intensive - enter entrepreneurship competitions, get your face known to sustainably fund managers, investors and policymakers.
