WHAT WE DO
Regen Labs is a strategic design lab working at the intersection of enterprise, finance, and place to unlock the benefits of a regenerative economy.
We partner with communities, governments, funders, and enterprises to co-design the systems, tools, and support structures that enable regenerative transformation.
Our current focus is on supporting regenerative social enterprises in regional Australia to lead the shift toward just, climate-resilient local economies — by unlocking fit-for-purpose finance, future-fit business models, and catalytic ecosystem support.
Grow viable enterprises
Regenerative enterprises experience challenges in building long term viable businesses, achieving a sustainable livelihood, communicating their impact story to funders, and accessing institutional support and finance.
We provide the right support to enable enterprises to grow through our Regen Economy Activator Program (REAP).
Learn more about our Adelaide Hills and South Coasts REAP launching in July 2025.
Scale regenerative finance
There is not enough finance or institutional support flowing at the required volume into place-based, community-honouring, small to medium size regenerative enterprise, especially early stage enterprise.
There is also a lack of trusted connection between regenerative enterprises and funders.
Learn more about the Regen Community Investment Fund we are growing to address this gap.
Catalyse regenerative innovation ecosystems and local economies
Communities hold a wealth of ideas, knowledge and networks to support and grow regenerative enterprises, but are missing targeted capability support and funding to achieve this and convene.
We work with local convenors, impact networks, local government agencies, to grow the local regenerative enterprise ecosystem.
