Regenerative Living 5.o; Business Models & Systems - FOOD

Regenerative Living Zürich 5.0 — Exploring Regenerative Business & Finance

On May 6, AdvantikA and GreenUp are co-hosting Regenerative Living 5.0, an interactive, full-day experience, as part of Climate Week Zürich.

Taking place at Impact Hub Viadukt Bogen D+E, the event brings together 15+ leaders, investors, and changemakers to explore how regenerative thinking is reshaping business, finance and food systems.

The day is structured in three standalone yet complementary blocks:

🌱 Morning — Regenerative Business Models with focus on Food Systems
A thought-provoking session exploring how businesses can actively restore ecosystems and communities followed by co-creation Mastermind Circles on the future of food. 

💰 Afternoon — Transforming Finance
Presentations, discussions and co-creation sessions on financing nature-based solutions and redefining return on investment to include environmental and social value.

🎬 Evening — Purpose & Responsible Business
A film screening, quiz, and fireside conversation with Patagonia, exploring how purpose-driven companies operate in practice.
