Let’s accelerate the green transformation together.
Start right here and discover what’s new?
At the IMPACT FESTIVAL, we want to accelerate the sustainable transformation of our economy by connecting and empowering people to drive change.
Why
Society and the economy urgently need innovative solutions to face future challenges. Climate crisis, resource scarcity, and social conflicts are exacerbating existing problems, increasing inequalities, and leading to a long-term decline in the quality of life for most of the world’s population.
Industry and business have their share of responsibility in this situation, but also the ability to contribute to creating new regenerative systems. We can significantly improve how we do business through innovative solutions and a collaborative mindset and approach to work. Let’s cut the bullshit and get started!
Thematic focus on our stages & exhibition
Mobility, Cities & Logistics
We want to support the debate for an inclusive mobility transition and resilient cities by discussing trends at the intersection of mobility, urban living and logistics. Explore the opportunities that electromobility, artificial intelligence and data management offer to shape smart and sustainable cities and promote efficient transport solutions for corporations and our future.
Finance, Risk & Regulation
Agriculture, Biodiversity & Food
We want to do our part in transforming agriculture and food systems to help preserve natural resources for future generations. We explore the levers of regenerative agriculture and innovative solutions that help overcome the obstacles of traditional agriculture, including responsible resource management to stem the rapid loss of biodiversity.
Circular Economy & Resources
We want to question and rethink our approach to resource management by exploring the possibilities of closing loops in industry and the implications of circularity beyond recycling. Find out about topics such as upcycling waste, reuse of materials, digitalisation of construction and other innovations driving the transition to a regenerative economy.
Energy, Pollution & Water
We want to ensure a rapid shift away from fossil fuels by fostering the debate around a clean and fair energy system. We also focus on the implementation of sustainable water use and consumption, and the preservation of our oceans. Discover pioneering solutions for clean energy, water treatment and conservation, and pollution reduction.
People, Services & Organisations
Our goal is to empower people to design and lead purposeful organisations proactively. Gain a deeper understanding of solutions that promote sustainable change and benefit individuals, communities and corporations worldwide. Explore various topics, from sustainability consulting and impact measurement tools to other innovative products and services that support organisations in their transformation.
