Ecosystem for Regenerative Business

At Impact Hub Amsterdam, we believe the future of business doesn’t stop at doing less harm. It’s about restoring ecosystems, empowering communities, and reimagining the purpose of enterprise. That’s why, after months of research, interviews, and collaboration with frontrunners in the regenerative space, we’re proud to launch the Ecosystem for Regenerative Business. A platform for collective action, long-term support, and the kind of bold thinking this transition demands.

Why we're building this ecosystem

Regenerative businesses are redefining what it means to create value. But to thrive, they need more than vision—they need community, resources, and structural support. That’s where we come in.

Together with our partners, we’re building a collaborative platform to help these pioneers scale with integrity, access aligned funding, and accelerate the shift toward an economy that truly serves both people and planet.

To kick off this ecosystem, we’re bringing together stories, tools, and voices that lay the foundation for what’s to come. We’ve captured insights from pioneers, are actively mapping the growing network of changemakers, and are sharing inspiring real-world examples.

It’s the beginning of a living, collaborative movement, rooted in action and built to support regeneration.

Visualizing regeneration in action

Last November, during our first Regenerative Ecosystem Day, we launched the Regenerative Ecosystem Map: an overview of regenerative entrepreneurs, funders, and initiatives across the Netherlands.

Now we’re expanding it to include more actors, strengthen connections, and reflect the growing momentum of this movement.
