Background

About Alex Pielaet

Alex Pielaet is a Dutchman with a global mindset that likes to follow his curiosity, really connect with people and play with words. After consulting in the global IT/semiconductor industry he went on a journey to experience different ways of life as well as diving into alternative economics. Upon his travels he found a value match in the Post Growth Institute (postgrowth.org) and together with the community of Economy Transformers (economytransformers.nl) he's exploring his own essence and intuition. Why post-growth? Multiple reasons, but mainly:"Although green growth is theoretically possible, and inadequate progress in the past is no proof of future impossibility, the post-growth field suggests taking A PRECAUTIONARY APPROACH, given the historical record and the rapid narrowing of the window to prevent ecological breakdown." Kallis et al.(2025) https://tinyurl.com/postgrowth2025 What do I have to offer? 🫴 1⃣ Knowledge, experience and network of previously mentioned organizations and groups + Regenerative Economics (capitalinstitute.org), Post Growth Entrepreneurship (nonprofit.ventures) and Regenerative Organizations (nRhythm.co) 2⃣ The will and commitment to put regeneration into practice with a playful curiosity as well as an experimental, learning ability 3⃣ The fruits of the Offers and Needs Market (OANM): an experience based on the concepts of reciprocity and circulation as well as Max-Neef's fundamental human needs. The workshop creates connection and strengthens social bonds, so it is suitable to any place! 4⃣ Experience with sociocracy, asset-based approach and lean experimenting What am I looking for? 1⃣ A community or co-living initiative, preferably in The Netherlands but may also be abroad, to live and contribute to a local, regenerative movement. Interesting aspects (for now) are sociocracy, permaculture, vega(n) and good ties with the initiative's environment (or the intention to strengthen them). 2⃣ Places to host the Offers & Needs Market (OANM): For now in The Netherlands :) All links, inspiration and contacts are most welcome! Interested in getting further acquainted? Or looking for an outside-the-box speaker for your event? Let me know!
