ENG #32 Durukan Dudu – CIV North Sweden Less Talk. More Trying.

In this conversation, we travel to the windswept hills north of Östersund and step into CIV North—an emerging, place-based “autonomy” within the broader vision of RegenHive. Durukan lays out why the triple crisis (ecological, social, economic) is also a once-in-a-century opportunity to cultivate regenerative entrepreneurs: people who take real risks, prototype new systems, and create value that is economic and social and ecological. From the ROPE onboarding program to a no-algorithm platform where doers find resources and each other, this episode maps a very practical path from ideas to action—starting on 30 hectares, expanding to a global movement.

* From crisis to opportunity: Why the next era will be built bottom-up by regenerative entrepreneurs who prototype alternatives locally and share patterns globally—beyond old dualisms and “isms.”

* CIV North as living lab: A place to try things for real—forest grazing, elder care, local foods, services—where residents, companions, and stewards co-create new models of land access, governance, and entrepreneurship.

* RegenHive infrastructure: Programs (ROPE, REAL, LIVE) + a distraction-free platform enabling events, jobs, pre-sales, crowdfunding, and transparency—designed to help thousands of small, place-rooted ventures grow.
