About the Organization

Our approach involves creating and incentivising a diverse portfolio of nature-positive solutions, building relationships between nature-positive solutions and strategic partners, embedding our solutions in an ecosystem bolstered by our network, and providing thought leadership to inform and inspire the uptake of nature-positive solutions.

The vision of I4N is to achieve a nature positive future where business thrive, ecosystems flourish and our planet is regenerated for generations to come.

About the Award

Each year, Innovate 4 Nature awards an “I4N Award” in four key areas to projects, companies and entrepreneurs that have developed particularly promising, high-quality nature-positive solutions.

The Innovate 4 Nature Award aims at identifying high quality nature-positive solutions and accelerating them in collaboration with partners to halt and improve nature loss by 2030.

The goal of I4N is to support nature-positive solution providers around the pre-seed and seed stage, where a business plan or a minimum viable product is available and needs validation.

The four key areas of the I4N Award are:

• sustainable management of ecosystems;
• nature as infrastructure;
• regenerative agriculture; and
• circular nature-positive solutions.

Your organisation can be active in one or several of these areas. You don’t need to categorize yourself.

It is also possible to apply if you think your organisation is contributing to nature-positive but does not match any of the above areas explicitly, such as nature-tech or nature-finance.

Eligibility

• Participation is free of charge.
• There is no geographical restriction, organisations from any country are welcome to apply.
• There are no specific requirements regarding legal form, ownership structure or age of entity.
• The minimum requirement is the presence of a business model, a business plan, a marketable pilot product, or a minimum viable product (MVP).
• We only accept applications directly from founders and not from fundraisers.
• Should you be selected, at least one founder or executive director must be available either in person or via video call on the day of the Jury meeting: Thursday, June 13th, 2024, in Morges/Lausanne, Switzerland.
