Social Awareness
The technological advancements that reduce the environmental impact of most of our lives are critical to tackle both inequalities and environmental impact. Are they enough, though? They are not! We need to combine technological innovations with new social paradigms that empower diversity and inclusion, as well as new business paradigms to reduce the social and environmental costs of our lives.
GreenTech
The science couldn’t be clearer: the business world needs to take on the Climate Fight. We analyse how cross-sector innovations are accelerating the development of a new, carbon-free paradigm – changing the way we travel, eat, dress, and produce. A massive private investment is under way in climate tech with over $50 billion invested over in 2022 Q1–3 per consulting firm PwC.
Impact Investment
How can we mobilise more capital towards investments in social and environmental innovations? How can we differentiate ‘impact washing’ from genuinely meaningful projects? And how, ultimately, can we all become Impact investors? We debate these and many other questions to help grow an ecosystem of profitable businesses, making a positive impact.
