Inspire your luncthimes with monthly talks from experts and entrepreneurs creating real change in climate and social action.

Welcome to Impact Talks!

The word ‘Impact’ has been overused and misused in today’s world of green washing and disinformation.

Through our exciting new online series, Impact Talks, we want to put the meaning back into the word ‘Impact’ by welcoming entrepreneurs and experts who are helping to create real change to speak about the work they do and how others can become changemakers as well.

Join us each month to put some oomph back into your lunchtimes and hear from motivating speakers on the topics of:

• Sustainable Food
• Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
• Circular Economy
• Green Tech

These are the focus area of our four ecosystems, where we see the greatest potential for entrepreneurship and collective action. Get in touch to find out more about opportunities to collaborate!

This event series is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economics Affairs and Climate Action as part of Nachhaltig Wirken. It is also made possible through our partners, Lufthansa Group.

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.
