Speaking engagements & key notes
Nicola Gryczka Kirsch
Hi, I'm Nicola - Founder of The Regen Studio
I'm a social entrepreneur, speaker and facilitator with a global, cross-sector journey from hospitality and diplomacy to grassroots innovation and systems change. Along the way, I’ve worked with renowned institutions like the World Economic Forum, contributed to TIME Magazine, led Gastromotiva and various local initiatives, as well as co-founded the Social Gastronomy Movement - an impact network uniting 80+ countries to use food as a force for good.
Having lived in over 10 countries and worked across industries, I developed an ability in connecting dots others don’t see - bridging disciplines, translating across worlds and turning vision into reality.
I created The Regen Studio to turn years of frontline experience into a platform for regenerative change . Depending on the challenge, I collaborate with a trusted circle of experts, creatives, academics and grassroots innovators to co-create bold, tailored solutions. It’s where global networks come together to build what’s next.
“I believe that real change starts within & ripples outward.”
Speaking & project highlights
Worlds Together.
Together with the Social Gastronomy Movement, we developed Heineken’s global “World Together” campaign - a glocal initiative rolled out in over 18 countries to bridge social divides and foster community connection.
We supported the design, implementation and training of local teams through participatory practices, while also leading the impact evaluation over a two-year period.
Open Innovation Summit.
We designed and implemented the first-ever Open Innovation Summit at the renowned EHL Hospitality Business School - from concept development and experience design to speaker curation and challenge facilitation.
With 385 participants, 48 speakers from over 20 countries, and 7 innovation challenges, the summit became a living lab for regenerative innovation, connecting academia, industry, startups and students to co-create the future of hospitality and beyond.
Tedx Brazil.
This TEDx talk “A Future Distinct from the Past,” serves as a good example of our vision and last decade of learnings. Nicola explores how personal and collective transformation are intertwined, and how we can move from disconnection to regeneration.
She shares lessons from her global journey as a social entrepreneur, showing how dignity, food and collaboration can ignite more inclusive futures. The talk is an invitation to reimagine what’s possible when we lead with purpose and act from the heart.
