SAVE THE DATE - It's time for IMPACT FESTIVAL 2022!
The IMPACT FESTIVAL is Europe's largest B2B event and platform for sustainable innovation, bringing together European GreenTech Start-ups & Scale-ups and key stakeholders to accelerate sustainable transformation.
REVIEW IMPACT FESTIVAL 2021
HOW DO WE MANAGE THE GREEN TRANSFORMATION?
Sustainability has an immense impact on our economy. It's a great chance for early adopters, but also a risk for those who refuse to transform. We need to collaborate, innovate and act to turn the thread into an opportunity for sustainable growth. As europe's first community-based platform, our purpose is to accelerate the green transformation by connecting the thought-leader of sustainability, especially innovators like green start-ups with corporates and investors.
FOSTERING COLLABORATIONS FOR IMPACT
By connecting green startups, transforming corporates, and impact investors, the IMPACT FESTIVAL is accelerating the green transformation. The aim is to enable innovative solutions to be scaled up and implemented. Therefore, we focus on 8 innovation areas. These were derived from the EU Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals.
RESOURCE
EFFICIENCY
RESOURCE EFFICIENCY
To save natural resources in every aspect of the value chain does not only reduces environmental impact, but also costs. This category therefore includes solutions to save energy, Co2, water or waste in all its forms.
SUSTAINABLE
FINANCE
SUSTAINABLE FINANCE
It takes USD 5-7 trillion of annual investments to achieve the SDGs by 2030. The EU taxonomy is a core element to achieve this capital shift. We will present innovative forms of financing and educate about the state of ESG investing.
FUTURE
MOBILITY
FUTURE MOBILITY
Mobility and transportation account for 14% of total greenhouse emissions. Being interconnected and intelligent, green technologies can predict demand, optimize capacity, improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
REGULATORY TECHNOLOGY
REGULATORY TECHNOLOGY
The European green deal and the Paris agreement will have huge legal implications for almost all companies. We will present solutions to keep up with new regulations and reporting standards in this space.
AGRICULTURE TECHNOLOGY
AGRICULTURE TECHNOLOGY
Feeding 10 billion people climate-neutral, while preserving biodiversity and improving animal welfare – impossible without innovations by 2050! We show concrete challenges and the most exciting solutions.
CLEAN TECHNOLOGY
CLEAN TECHNOLOGY
Breakthrough CleanTech innovations are necessary not only to stop, but also to reverse climate change. Many of these technologies are currently being developed and we will present the most promising ones.
SUSTAINABLE SERVICES
SUSTAINABLE SERVICES
Managing two transformations (sustainable and digital) at a time is difficult. Specialized service providers like consultancies, law firms or coaches will offer their services to help companies to manage them effectively.
SOCIALINNOVATION
SOCIAL INNOVATION
Sustainability is more than just Co2 related. The social aspect of sustainability is even more important. We will present social entrepreneurs, possibilities for corporates, as well as best practices and tools that promote a socially responsible governance and culture.
