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 the Impact Nation program, we have developed a methodology together with ABN AMRO and TNW to support social enterprises and established businesses to identify opportunities to collaborate and make more impact faster.

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.

After this session you have:

1) New inspiration on the latest impact trends in textile

2) Knowledge on what Open Innovation is and how it can support you in tackling your impact challenges

3) New ideas based on talks with potential partners to actually solve your biggest impact challenges

Hosted by: Impact Hub Amsterdam, ABN AMRO (Impact Nation and ABN AMRO Social Impact Fund)

If you are an investor (angel / VC/ family office / CVC / others) and are open to investing in startups adressing sustainaable food, this event is for you!

In partnership with Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, we proudly present a cohort of promising startups singularly focused on tackling the pressing problem of food waste. These dynamic ventures, carefully selected for their potential to make a significant difference, scale through ImpAct Accelerator: Food Waste Track. 🌱

Furthermore, we are proud to host pre-seed stage startups that have made significant strides in our 6-month incubator program, Feeding the City. These innovative ventures focus on a broader range of food-related solutions linked to nourishing a growing urban society, and are ready to grow their business and impact.

The startups have a big goal: to change how we deal with the current food system. They have smart ideas, strong plans for growing, and really care about keeping things sustainable. They put in a lot of effort for 6 weeks, and now they’re prepared for the next big opportunity.

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

If you’re an investor, please sign up to view the complete list of participating startups. From there, you will select the ones you’re interested in matching with.

HOW IT WORKS:

Before the event

Kindly sign up for this invitation-only event by registering yourself. Once you’ve completed the registration, we’ll send you short summaries about each team and provide a form to indicate your preferences for the startups you’d like to meet. All this will be shared via email.

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 [email protected]

An informal way to learn and experience Inner Development Goals (IDG) and to nourish your mind, body, and soul.

The Inner Development Goals (IDG) framework is fundamental in our work to reach the Sustainable Development Goals. By focusing on inner growth, we believe we can create a better world, one individual at a time.

Swiss IDG Hub is a non-profit organization dedicated to inner development. We educate, practice, and communicate science-based skills and qualities that empower individuals to live purposeful, sustainable, and productive lives.

What to Expect:

• Introduction to IDG: Discover what Inner Development Goals are and how they apply to sustainable leadership
• Micro Practices: Experience guided micro-practices that can be easily incorporated into your daily routine.
• Networking: Connect with like-minded individuals who are also on a journey of inner development.
• Bring Your Own Lunch: Enjoy your lunch in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Whether you’re looking to discover new perspectives in leadership and sustainability or simply want to connect with a community of individuals dedicated to personal growth, this event is for you! :blossom:

Spaces are limited, so be sure to reserve your spot now.

What can you do to rise above the noise? How do you stay true to yourself rather than catering to outside voices? How do you represent yourself in an authentic and true way?

Telling a captivating story is a bedrock skill to improve personal relationships, to share a vision for the future, and to ultimately power your voice when feeling pushed aside by self doubt. Holding to some guiding principles from a communication expert and inspiring founders will help you convey your ideas and get your voice heard. Join us for an insightful morning that celebrates and amplifies the stories of female entrepreneurs. Through a keynote and roundtable discussions, connect with inspiring female founders who will share their experiences, highs, lows and resilience stories as entrepreneurs! Ask them your burning questions in the roundtables, discuss your ideas with like-minded peers and connect with supportive players from the Swiss start-up ecosystem during a networking brunch.
