How does the SEED Replicator process work?

• The two-day SEED Replicator Workshops support participants in a two-fold way. As an incubation workshop, it helps to identify opportunities for enterprise creation, impact generation, own ideation, and business model innovation. On top of this, it specifically aims for the integration and replication of existing best practices, as well as the adaptation of proven business models. The process of replication is not a means of copying and pasting exact replicates of the original business model but rather a process of adapting the most relevant business elements to another context. Therefore, the SEED Replicator targets both entrepreneurs without a specific business idea as well as entrepreneurs with an early-stage business who are trying to identify partnership opportunities.
• For participation in the SEED Replicator, you must demonstrate a high level of motivation and engagement with social and environmental entrepreneurship and the ambition to continue developing your business idea in partnership with others. Participation and workshop materials are free of cost but you are required to cover your own travel and accommodation costs.
