Innovators by Nature 2026

Innovators by Nature connects those managing Europe’s landscapes with those shaping the innovations and policies that influence the future of the European countryside, agriculture and bioeconomy.

The 2026 edition will explore biodiversity, agriculture, climate, forestry and natural capital finance, with a strong focus on practical solutions for resilient rural areas and sustainable land use across Europe.

The event is organised by the European Landowners’ Organization (ELO) and  Friends of the Countryside. The first edition was held in December 2025 and takes place annually since. The 2026 edition of Innovators by Nature will take place on 3 December 2026 at Sparks Brussels, from 9:00 to 17:00. Registrations are now open.

The day will close with a cocktail reception, open to all participants. Please note that the detailed programme will be published at a later stage.
