Course Description

Micro-credential – Nature-based Entrepreneurship

Trinity College Dublin



This micro-credential has been developed to benefit Social Entrepreneurs, managers and leaders of NGO’s and Nature-based Enterprises together with CSR / Sustainability managers from large organisations who are looking to partner with Nature-based Enterprises as a part of their sustainability and climate action agenda.

There is an increasing demand for the further professionalisation of leadership and management capability within nature-based enterprises and other social enterprises as collaboration with private business, funds providers and government agencies continue to develop.

Leaders and managers within NGO’s, Social Enterprises and Nature Based Enterprises need to practice the same rigour as their counterparts in private business in business planning, implementation, and strategy execution. A professionalised approach to social and nature-based entrepreneurship ensures a higher success rate among start-ups, better efficacy in attracting and generating revenue as well as in creating impact.

The programme also provides context and a framework for Corporate Affairs, CSR and Sustainability managers in the industry for collaboration with nature-based enterprises and social enterprises to deliver on their ESG strategies.

On successful completion of this micro-credential, learners will be able to:

  • Assess different opportunities, for the maturing and growth innovation in Nature-based Enterprises.
  • Design a business plan for the development and the growth of a firm or its strategic transformation to address sustainability issues and measure the results during the process.
  • Understand and critically discuss the dynamics underlying the formation and growth of entrepreneurial ventures.
  • Understand the entrepreneurial finance landscape by developing analytical skills and a better intuition of how to finance a nascent business and the ability to select the appropriate financial instruments.
  • Communicate and present entrepreneurial concepts, plans and analyses.
