When nature meets innovation: Europe’s Landowners and entrepreneurs gather to
demonstrate sustainable innovation
Brussels, 3 December 2025 – Innovators by Nature opens today at ACE Events in Brussels,
bringing together landowners, policy makers, investors and environmental innovators from
across Europe. Organised by the European Landowners’ Organization (ELO) and Friends of
the Countryside, the event creates a rare platform where nature-based solutions and
on-the-ground land management expertise converge.
At a moment when Europe faces rising pressure on soils, water, biodiversity and rural
resilience, the event focuses on how innovation can be deployed directly on land — not as an
abstract concept, but as a set of implementable solutions. Participants are invited to examine
practical models that improve ecological outcomes while ensuring long-term economic
viability for those who manage rural assets.
Today’s programme features use cases and collaborative models related to:
● Regenerative and climate-resilient agriculture
● Soil health, biomass recovery and circular resource use
● Habitat restoration, biodiversity management and sustainable forestry
● Renewable energy integration and rural innovation ecosystems
● Partnerships between private landowners, public authorities and companies
As Secretary general of the ELO, Jurgen Tack highlights how innovation and stewardship are
not opposed, but mutually reinforcing:
“Those who own and manage land will be judged by the state in which we hand it over to the next
generation. Innovation is not a threat to this responsibility — it is a necessity, both moral and
economic. If we want nature to thrive, we must find ways to make sustainability and economic
resilience work together.”
The audience at Innovators by Nature includes a broad mix of private estate holders,
agricultural and forestry managers, environmental consultants, engineers, corporate
sustainability leaders, NGOs and representatives of EU and national institutions. The result is
an event where discussions move quickly from principles to practical implementation, pilot
projects and investment-ready opportunities…
