The Regenerative Immersion Summer Camp is a 5-day program for GenZ future founders who are curious about how entrepreneurship can be a tool for socio-ecological regeneration.
This new immersion programme is your entry point into Denmark’s regenerative entrepreneurial ecosystem for the next generation of founders who want to build differently.
Regenerative entrepreneurship often requires new capabilities in addition to standard entrepreneurial skills:
✓ Ecological boundaries
Understanding the environmental limits within which a business must operate.
✓ Mission-lock structure
Learn how ownership and governance models an be designed to protect a company’s purpose over time.
✓ Financing models
Build funding approaches that support long-term regeneration (e.g. patient capital).
✓ Place-based needs
Exploring how to identify local priorities and design a business that creates value for the entire socio-ecological system.
Each day of the Regenerative Immersion Summer Camp takes place at a different location in Copenhagen, bringing participants directly into the spaces, organisations, and conversations that are shaping Denmark's regenerative entrepreneurial ecosystem.
