Businesses that Choose nature
Open Call
We are excited to launch the Open Call “Businesses that Choose Nature” for SMEs, Nature-based Enterprises, start-ups, and organisations working on or with the business side of Nature-based Solutions.

About NetworkNature Annual Event
Organised by NetworkNature in collaboration with Brussels Environment, this year’s NetworkNature Annual Event 2025 “Choose Nature” will explore different ways to align biodiversity and economy in times of urgency, building on the concept of Nature-based Solutions. We will hear from a broad range of stakeholders, from the public and private sectors, examine diverse ideas, exchange knowledge, explore initiatives and share case studies that link nature with economy, innovation, finance and business. Through pitches and discussions, we will delve into pathways to build a resilient economy that benefits both people and planet. The event will also encourage stakeholders to engage with and adopt these approaches.
