Founders & Mentors Connect

Founders & Mentors Connect

Need for Speed (Networking) and Open Space, connecting entrepreneurs and professionals from Berlin, Kyiv, Sarajevo and Tirana ecosystems.

What better way to spend your Friday afternoon than connecting with other founders and mentors?

That’s not all though. This is a one-off opportunity to connect with 43 founders from Kyiv, Sarajevo, Tirana and Berlin, and 13 mentors or startup support professionals in the same ecosystems.

We are so excited to bring our community together with driven changemakers from these ecosystems in an afternoon of fun networking activities and knowledge exchange.

After a short welcome and warmup, we’ll dive into a facilitated speed networking session where, in less than 20 minutes you’ll make four meaningful connections. We’ll then move to an Open Space session where you will have the chance to (literally) bring a topic (or your offer) to the table and spend 30 minutes engaging in a deep exchange on this topic. Finally, to finish off the afternoon, we’ll leave you to enjoy some open networking and complimentary drinks and snacks!

PME romandes : Relever le défi de la gestion de la matière

PME romandes : Quelles opportunités pour faire face au défi de la gestion de la matière ?

Parmi les nombreux enjeux de la transition, l’augmentation du prix des matières premières et les changements législatifs, notamment sur la gestion des déchets, amènent leur lot de défis et de pressions supplémentaires pour les PME romandes. Ces problématiques nécessitent de repenser les modèles d’affaires et de mener un travail de fond sur toute la chaîne de valeur. Il faut donc considérer les boucles dans un processus aujourd’hui encore trop linéaire et penser la matière dans toute sa composition/montage et décomposition/démontage pour que la récupération des matières entre dans une boucle circulaire.

Dans cette conférence-atelier, des experts du domaine feront un point sur la situation actuelle et donneront des pistes et des ressources concrètes pour une transition dérisquée. Des intervenants et des PME partageront également leurs propres expériences. Cet événement fait partie du programme “PME de demain” porté par Impact Hub et InTent (plus d’informations ci-dessous).

Programme: Le programme détaillé vous sera communiqué par la suite, il comprendra notamment :

  • La présence d’experts des modèles circulaires et de la législation liée à la gestion de la matière
  • L’intervention de PME qui partageront leurs expériences et leurs approches face à ces défis
  • Un court échange sous la forme d’un atelier participatif, afin de préciser les défis en fonction du contexte et des particularités des PME présentes

——————————————————————-

L’entrée est payante. Les membres du programme et les partenaires bénéficient de tarifs et de conditions préférentiels. Réservez votre place dès maintenant ici.

Tarif pour les externes : 85.-

*Qu’est-ce que le programme PME de demain ?

PME de demain est une série d’événements thématiques proposée par Impact Hub et InTent. Il est destiné aux entreprises romandes qui souhaitent s’informer sur les défis et les opportunités de la transition. Le programme est réalisé en partenariat avec la Chambre vaudoise du commerce et de l’industrie (CVC) et la Fédération Suisse des entreprises.

L’objectif de “PME de demain” est d’apporter une information aux PME romandes sur les questions de transition : pressions législatives, gestion de la matière, digitalisation et profession durable.

Avec ce programme en 5 événements, les PME ont un accès facilité aux ressources existantes, ainsi qu’aux informations spécifiques leur permettant de mieux comprendre les enjeux de la transition, ceci tout en se connectant à leur réseau.

Build your collaboration strategy

Find and level with the best partners in the textile supply chain to grow your business.

Collaborations between social enterprises and established businesses in strategic partnerships is a complex, risky and challenging process. However, it also has huge benefits to make more impact faster, smarter and cheaper.

In our session, we invite social entrepreneurs and established companies from the Dutch textile industry to join us for an interactive session to uncover the secrets of successful strategic partnerships.

As a social entrepreneur, you will also learn to speak the language of medium-sized companies from this industry and use this in your sales strategy. As an established business, you can meet innovative entrepreneurs and explore potential collaborations.

Circular Economy Investor Matchmaking Event (Online)

Circular Economy Investor Matchmaking Event (Online)

Join an afternoon of action-packed speed-dating event for investors and early stage Circular Economy startups.

If you are an investor (angel / VC/ family office / CVC / others) and are open to investing in Circular Economy startups, this event is for you.

Out of hundreds of applications, 14 circular economy startups were selected earlier this year to join the Circular Together Incubator, powered by Impact Hub Berlin. These startups are a select group of early stage circular economy startups, each with a unique approach to solving some of today’s most pressing environmental challenges. These startups have been hand-picked for their innovative ideas, strong potential for growth, and commitment to building a sustainable future. After 6 months of market validation and business model development, the teams are now in advanced stages of development.

The event is designed to bring together these promising startups and savvy investors who are interested in exploring investment opportunities in the circular economy space.

How it works

Before the event

We will share one-pagers of the teams with you over email, and you can indicate which teams you would like to be matched with.

We will then create a grid and send you a detailed briefing of the event. We try our best to give you your exact matches, but in interest of all requests, you might also be matched with a similar startup.

During the event

You will speed-date startups in Zoom breakout rooms, and will have 30 minutes per startup. Depending on interest, there might be more than one investors in a room, but at no point would there be more than two investors in each room.

After the event

After the event, we are happy to introduce you to other startups that you have been interested in, but didn’t get a chance to interact, but we leave it to you and startups to take the relationship forward.

Important:

If you prefer, you can also choose to not pre-select startups, and let us choose and match-make for you.

For any questions, feel free to reach out to circulartogether.impacthub.net.

Digital Event Series // Food-Tech Gründer im Gespräch

OURZ & Friedhold, zwei Startups mit digitalen Lösungen für nachhaltigen Lebensmittelkonsum stellen sich vor.

Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84256616670?pwd=K1l0Ujk3U21kVmk0ODUzSEVrRVVPdz09

Wie können digitale Lösungen dazu beitragen, den Lebensmittelsektor fairer und nachhaltiger zu gestalten? Genau darüber möchten wir in der kommenden Episode unserer Digital Event Series mit den Gründern zweier aufstrebender Food-Tech Startups diskutieren:

OURZ nutzt Blockchain-Technologie, und ermöglicht Konsument*innen mit ihrer App die Herkunft und Qualität von Produkten genau nachzuverfolgen und somit bewusstere Kaufentscheidungen zu treffen.

Friedhold unterstützt Landwirt*innen mit einem smarten Software-Tool dabei, einen Online Handel in wenigen Schritten aufzubauen und ihre Produkte an Kund*innen aus ihrer Region zu vertreiben.

Für dieses Event bringen wir unser Green Tech und unser Sustainable Food Ökosystem quasi an einen Tisch.

Seid dabei und freut euch auf knackige Präsentationen der beiden Gründer. Wie immer haben wir aber auch ausreichend Zeit für eine Q&A-Session eingeplant, in der ihr Antworten zu all euren brennenden Fragen erhalten werdet.

Wir freuen uns schon riesig auf den Austausch mit euch!
