Description: 

he Connecting Nature Enterprise Platform (CNEP) launched in 2020 as a response to research findings that identified thousands of Nature-Based Enterprises (NBEs) working for and with nature. These enterprises often operate in isolation with little recognition, networking or support. CNEP offers nature-based enterprises a platform where they can connect with their peers, learn about good practices and market trends. The platform connects Nature-Based Enterprises with potential buyers highlighting their expertise.

Today, there are 10 dynamic communities of practice led by industry ambassadors who organise regular webinars and activities, and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses to keep everyone connected and up to date. At CNEP, we continue to build and expand our resource library where we share knowledge and insights on emerging technologies and opportunities in the nature-positive economy.

The Connecting Nature Enterprise Platform (CNEP) is the world’s largest community of nature-based enterprises. The platform is open for all and there is no registration fee.
