Stage Right

Ending disparities in health and wellbeing will require innovation and collaboration in equal measure. This Impact Week panel brought together impact luminaries on the theme of health to raise their most pressing action points and share insights on mental health and impact entrepreneurs.

Young and future generations are among the most relevant stakeholders for any actor working for getting a positive impact on society. Patrizia Saroglia (Brodolini Foundation), Fabrizio Granà (ESCP Business School), Claudia Fiori (Beigua Park Authority) and Antonio Miguel (Maze) present different projects working for and with young people.

It takes the power of many to build a city; it takes the power of together to grow a urban ecosystem that fosters innovation and serves social and environmental impact. This panel featuring Michele Osella (Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo), Matteo Pessione (OGR Tech, Fondazione CRT) and Karen Wilson (GV Partners) introduced how a diverse set of competencies and collaboration among a plurality of city stakeholders on joint projects can align in making a city a frontrunner in social innovation.

Andrew Carlin of EIT Food, Marjolein Brasz of FoodValley NL, Dominic Hofstetter of TransCap Initiative, Aneta Ozieranska of Oligofeed and Benedetta Gori of FoodUnfolded discussed the power of investing collaboratively  through the lens of the food system on the panel "The Triple Crisis" at Impact Week. Recorded live at Impact Week, you can now listen to the entire conversation from home or on the go. 

The Middle East and north Africa’s most impactful organisations and seasoned European players are coming together to drive impact further and wider: that’s Impact Together! We launched the Impact Together! project with this kick-off session at Impact Week, where we unveiled plans, challenges and big questions around how to build a thriving impact ecosystem in MENA. 

Recorded live at Impact Week, The Big Conversation discussed how impact capital providers work against the global forces of division – great power competition, war, economic nationalism, tech decoupling, social unrest and cultural strife – to foster collective impact action. Hosted by Leslie Johnston (CEO, Laudes Foundation; Impact Europe Chair) and featuring Jean-Philippe Courtois (Executive Vice President and President, National Transformation Partnerships, Microsoft), Shiva Dustdar (Director and Head of EIB Institute) and Hans Stegeman (Chief Economist, Triodos Bank).
