What separates regenerative solutions that scale from those that stall—and what would turn proven enterprises into a system transforming whole landscapes, not just admired exceptions?
A new generation of enterprises is proving that regeneration can be commercially viable, technologically sophisticated, and socially inclusive. As climate change accelerates, the world must both cut emissions and restore the natural systems economies depend on—requiring solutions that decarbonise industry, transform food systems, eliminate waste, and build resilient livelihoods as scalable businesses, not isolated initiatives.
This session centers on five such enterprises, each with a concrete story of challenge, innovation, and measurable impact. Habla Kilns strips emissions from brick manufacturing while boosting productivity. Sow & Reap uses technology to raise farmer incomes and cut methane. Attero recovers critical materials from e-waste at industrial scale. Kheyti's greenhouse-in-a-box helps smallholders withstand climate shocks and secure income. FungiFuture develops mycelium-based materials like fungal leather. Together, they show regeneration reshaping manufacturing, agriculture, consumer products, waste, and water simultaneously—working models with real pathways to investment.
The discussion then turns to shared conditions for scale: what separates solutions that move from pilot to mainstream from those that stall? What roles do policy, finance, and technology play, and where do carbon markets genuinely unlock growth versus fall short? What leadership and partnerships are needed to make these exceptions the norm? Underlying it all: how can impact, profit, and community well-being align—turning separate wins into systemic transformation?
