Rethinking tomorrow's entrepreneurship

The goal of ‘Rethinking Tomorrow's Entrepreneurship’ is to enlighten and mobilise participants by showcasing the vital role of entrepreneurs in building a regenerative economy today. Through inspirational narratives, insightful discussions, and active audience engagement, the event aims to inspire a shift in mindset and foster collective action towards a sustainable and prosperous future.

Moreover, we aim to establish a Transition Group specifically focused on the Nordic countries, creating a collaborative space for individuals and organisations to channel their motivation into concrete actions within the Nordic region. This group will work towards fostering entrepreneurship, aiming to drive positive change and accelerate the transition to a regenerative economy in the Nordic context. We envision this group as a catalyst for impactful initiatives and a hub for fostering entrepreneurship within the Nordic countries.
