Enviu is...

Enviu - innovators in sustainability - is an international network organisation for and by young entrepreneurial people. Enviu scouts and generates WOW! ideas regarding innovative sustainable entrepreneurship and makes them happen. We do this through setting up innovative sustainable businesses and organisations.

WOW! ideas are: innovative, sustainable solutions for environmental or social issues, have a business case, are scalable, and are challenging for young people to get involved.

Enviu is based in The Netherlands but has an international network of young entrepreneurs, creatives, young professionals and students; the decision makers of the near future who share their networks, expertise and time in order to work towards an economy that creates value for people and planet.

What makes Enviu special?
The uniqueness of Enviu lies in a combination of characteristics. You can find us at the crossroads of  innovation, sustainability and entrepreneurship. Our unique characteristics include:

  • a professional international network organisation 
  • run by young people, for young people 
  • creating sustainable business opportunities with the aim of helping to solve major social and environmental issues
  • use of open-source and open-innovation methods 
  • issue driven (impact driven rather than profit driven)
  • based on a non-loss strategy (We aim to make at least enough profit to enable us to operate independently of subsidies, while investing any profit made into more projects to further our mission.)
