Biodiversity solutions don’t scale in isolation—they grow through connections. I4N wants to host an informal networking apéro on the evening of Wednesday, 17 June 2026, where participants from all backgrounds interact with founders of science-based, nature-positive startups from I4N’s Solution Portfolio. Each startup will briefly introduce its solution before we open the floor for networking, conversation, and idea exchange over drinks. The session is designed to encourage exchange across disciplines and sectors, fostering collaborations between innovators, scientists, policymakers, and investors who share the commitment to turn biodiversity-positive ideas into practice. A relaxed space to forge meaningful partnerships and strengthen the bridge between biodiversity research and applied innovation, while celebrating innovation for nature and biodiversity.
