I4n Impact report 2025

What we achieved in our second year of operation

It’s been two years since Innovate 4 Nature was established as a non-profit, tax exempt Swiss foundation. In our latest Impact Report, we look back at what we achieved in 2025, our second year of operation.

Our work throughout the year focused on our three core pillars. Through portfolio building, we identified and supported some of the most promising early stage nature-positive solutions worldwide via the I4N Award. Through ecosystem building, we created meaningful connections between startups, corporates, investors, foundations, and policy actors – often bridging communities that would otherwise not meet. And through thought leadership, we helped make the business case for nature-positive innovation more visible and actionable.

Beyond numbers and milestones, what stood out in 2025 was the quality of engagement: deeper conversations with partners, more targeted matchmaking, and a growing recognition that nature-positive solutions must be integrated into core business and investment strategies, not treated as peripheral initiatives.

Thank you to our team, Board, Jury, partners and community for your trust and collaboration throughout 2025 and beyond.
