About us
Terra Tuscany is a joint effort between Terras and illuminem.
We are committed change-makers who believe climate action starts with leaders who can make a difference in their institutions.
Our purpose
We were deeply dissatisfied with the status quo of conventional conferences, which often showcased corporate success without providing actionable insights. We were frustrated with the distance between stages and leaders, which made them feel inaccessible. This led us to recognize the urgent need for a platform where sustainability leaders could truly engage and drive change.
We wanted to discuss nature surrounded by it, offering you a unique opportunity to engage directly with global leaders in an informal atmosphere. Unlike conventional conferences, our gathering is designed to encourage free-flowing ideas and deep connections through workshops and masterclasses. We aimed for a sustainable venue powered by solar energy and supplied with local food, further enhancing the unique experience.
So, we created Terra Tuscany. Our climate action gathering was born from these aspirations — a transformative event designed to redefine leadership and sustainability, inspiring hope for a greener future.
We invite you to be a part of this transformative journey.
