What is Vital Earth?

Vital Earth is a four-week accelerator built to advance nature-based innovation at the intersection of climate, health, and biodiversity.

As the impacts of ecological degradation and pollution intensify, there is a growing need for solutions that address root causes and bridge environmental and human wellbeing.

 

Vital Earth focuses on scaling early-stage ventures working across four area of focus in order to create innovative solutions that better our health while preserving and even rebuilding our natural environment.

Our participation in Bright Tide has created connections which will stand the development time of our company. The power of the network we have built in this programme continues to open new doors, even new ones we didn’t know existed. 

- Megan Sorby, CEO of Pine Island Redfish
