Dynamislab is promoting EcoRegió, a project to replicate the Regionalwert AG model, with Catalonia as its first target region. In June 2015, the EcoRegió promoter group was established, defined as a micro-cap community of citizens for regional organic farming. Its promoters are Joan Antoni Melé, promoter of ethical banking in Spain and former director of Triodos Bank; Eduard Alié, multi-talented entrepreneur; and Oriol Costa, director of Dynamislab.
The project is one of those chosen for the second edition of the B-Ready acceleration programme of Ship2B, as well voted best project at the Investment Forum of EcoSí Keiretsu Forum and is one of the case studies conducted by the Seforis European programme of innovative social entrepreneurship.
The project is being presented to expand the promoter group and get the initial capital injection to create the Management Company and the first Collective Investment Fund in Catalonia.
