This webinar will revisit STEP 4 | COMMIT & PLAN of the integrated management approach of the UrbanByNature programme. Research and SME representatives from Europe and Brazil will share insights on the topic of Nature-based Entrepreneurship (NBEs).

  • Gerardo González, R&D&i Project Manager, Bioazul, Spain
  • Guilherme Castagna, Civil Enginner and Permaculture Designer, Fluxus Design Ecológico, Brazil

The webinar will be moderated by Daniela Rizzi (ICLEI Europe) and Sophia Picarelli (ICLEI South America).

The webinar will answer the following questions:

  • What is Nature-based Entrepreneurship (NBE)?
  • What are some examples of NNEs?
  • What are some products, solutions or services for NBS on offer?
  • What challenges and barriers are faced during start-up and growth of NBEs?
