What is the Regenerative economy?

​Inspired by nature, the idea underpinning the Regenerative economy is to give more than we take.  The Regenerative economy is a system in which we can generate wealth while restoring health and balance to Earth’s living systems. Regenerative entrepreneurship is the process of growing successful businesses in this economy.
The CREATE program will:
  • Celebrate the global regenerative business movement.
  • Help grow the capabilities of Aboriginal start ups, NFP and businesses in WA.
  • Encourage collaboration within a community of like minded businesses.
  • Link Aboriginal businesses to potential investors and partners.​

What will you learn on the program?

You will learn about:
  • The Green Economy and inspiring examples of Indigenous businesses thriving within it.
  • Setting up a business idea and making it successful.
  • Design thinking - how to make a good idea even better.
  • Prototyping - testing your business idea before you launch.
  • 'Elevator pitching' - how to describe your business to someone in 45 sec!

Why is the program called CREATE?

CREATIVITY
REGENERATION
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
ABORIGINAL CULTURE
TECHNOLOGY
EQUILIBRIUM
