Dr. Rieback is one of the “9 Most Innovative Women in the European Union” (EU Women Innovators Prize) in 2019.

What you will gain:

• Attendees will gain valuable insights into sustainable, non-extractive business and investment models and practical strategies for building resilient, community-focused enterprises.

Discussion points:

• Is organisational growth always the goal?
• What about investment without ownership?
• What can we learn from Europe – and what can Europe learn from us?

About the event:
Post Growth Entrepreneurship (PGE), as defined by the Post Growth Entrepreneurship Workshop, reframes business as a form of activism, art, spirituality, and creative expression. This model embraces flat growth curves and rejects the traditional need for investors, scaling, and exits, questioning conventional entrepreneurial wisdom and re-envisioning business as a vehicle for pure positive impact.
