Students from Universidad de La Laguna, Hochschule Kempten, Kaunas University of Technology, Instituto Politécnico de Bragança and Universiteti Aleksandër Moisiu Durrës analysed five Tenerife organisations – IACTEC, Tagua, Loro Parque, Wooptix and Pisces VI – against the RESTORE sustainability model, finding all five in the green-to-sustainable stage with clear pathways toward restorative and regenerative practice.
“We are thrilled to see the tangible impact of CIB24. The innovative solutions presented reflect the immense potential of our youth to lead the transition to a regenerative economy. Teamwork was not just a method; it was the heart of CIB24.”
Prof. Dr. Andreas Müller, Programme Coordinator
