Steven Cinelli, founder of Renaissance Park Corporation (RPC), is driving a transformative vision to advance sustainability and innovation through nature-based solutions (NbS). RPC is a legacy project dedicated to designing, developing, and distributing products that replace toxic elements with industrial hemp, rice, flax, kenaf, sisal, and other natural fibers, leveraging their functional attributes to revolutionize multiple industries.
More than just building a company, Steven Cinelli aims to establish an entire ecosystem of NbS companies, similar to a keiretsu, by acquiring and investing in strategically aligned organizations. RPC’s goal is to create a portfolio of industrial campuses globally, designed to collaborate strategically, financially, and operationally. This vision emphasizes key pillars of collaboration over competition, enabling shared resources and innovation across industries such as textiles, building materials, food and beverage, skincare, and sustainable agriculture. The company further integrates cutting-edge technologies like agtech, fintech, and artificial intelligence to enhance efficiency and impact.
Under Steven Cinelli’s leadership, RPC is advancing a $2 billion fund over five years, with $200 million currently allocated for its initial phase. This fund is strategically designed to drive innovation in healthcare, agritech, biotechnology, and sustainable technology sectors, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030’s goals of sustainability, economic diversification, and global leadership in innovation. RPC seeks to collaborate with forward-thinking entities, including partnerships with MISA and SIPA, to establish a robust presence in Saudi Arabia.
Steven credits the Founders Club International (FCI) delegation to Riyadh for providing critical insights and connections that have helped shape RPC’s strategy in the region. His commitment to improving humanity’s fortunes and protecting the planet exemplifies the kind of visionary leadership that FCI continues to inspire and support.
