Connecting Nature Enterprise Platform

 

The Connecting Nature Enterprise Platform is an online marketplace designed to increase awareness of the growing potential of the nature-based economy and to connect the buyers and suppliers of nature-based solutions together. 

With nature-based enterprises supplying nature-based solutions across many sectors, GoGreenRoutes is pleased to be involved and support the newly launched NBS for Health and Well-Being Community on the Platform.

Communities

At the heart of the Enterprise Platform are communities of practice. Each community is moderated by an industry leader, a kind of enterprise ambassador who will showcase best practice in the sector, raise awareness about the benefits and risks of nature-based solutions and share sector-specific opportunities among community members.

Opportunities

Use the Platform to disseminate opportunities to a global audience.

Post your opportunity in English or in any other language. Share your opportunity with all nature-based enterprises or limit circulation to a specific sector of activity.

Survey on Challenges and Enablers faced by Nature-Based Enterprises

The Connecting Nature Enterprise Platform supports the growth of the nature-based economy in Europe and beyond. As part of this work, it conducts research on nature-based enterprises, which resulted in the publication of the Nature-Based Enterprises Guidebook. The guidebook helps to clarify what a nature-based enterprise is, how to find skilled and experienced nature-based enterprises and how to stimulate and support the start-up, financing and growth of nature-based enterprises.

The next stage of this research is to investigate the challenges and enablers experienced by organisations, specifically in the NBS for Health & Well-being sector. This will help the Connecting Nature and GoGreenRoutes projects to give recommendations to policymakers on effective support measures. To participate in our survey, click here.
