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

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.

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!

Soru & Cevap

*Katılım linki etkinlik kaydınız tamamladıktan sonra, takip eden birkaç gün içinde e-posta olarak iletilecektir.

А ви чули про книжку «Ніколи не їжте на одинці» Кейт Феррацці?

Це – одна з найкращих книжок, присвячених темі нетворкінгу.

❓Але що це означає? Чи справді треба постійно їсти з кимось чи то образне висловлювання? 🙂

❓Які є типи нетворкінгу?

❓А для чого це мені?

❓Я – не дуже комунікаційна людина. І як мені це робити?

❓Як мені допоможе нетворкінг у отриманні місця для навчання / учнівства / практики / роботи в Швейцарії?

Ото ж тут може бути дуже багато питань. Тому ми запросили професіонала в цій темі – Міхі Бідера, який на цьому собаку з’їв.

📌 Міхі поділитися з нами тим, для чого потрібен нетворкінг, з чого його розпочинати, якщо ти в нових обставинах, або країні, наведе приклади ефективного нетворкінгу в Швейцарії, а також надасть можливість застосувати нові знання у форматі воркшопу, щоб «понетворкіти» прямо там на місці.

📌Особистий план розвитку – обговорення у колі прогресу та складнощів

Також запрошуємо учасників Youth Support Program Conference (11-12 березня 2023), які розробили свій особистий план розвитку та цілі пов’язані із навчанням та отримання професії у Швейцарії, залишитись на додаткові півгодини після воркшопу для обговорення успіхів та складнощів на шляху досягнення визначених цілей.

Кількість місць обмежена, то ж реєструйтеся вчасно.

Ваші Женя Лавічка та Олена Больгер

13 years ago, we stepped into the atelier space at Lindengasse 56 and welcomed the founding members of Impact Hub.

A lot has happened since: An amazing community grew, countless connections – likely and unlikely – were created, start-ups on all issues that matter were born and scaled, three more floors added, a new Climate Lab opened, our network expanded to cities all around the world, and a lot more.

We cordially invite you to reflect, appreciate and celebrate with us.

Each Jam is focusing on a hot topic in society and we will ask the community’s opinion about it in a facilitated conversation format.

The first topic is Artificial Intelligence and ChatGPT – risks and possibilities of having it in our lives.

Come and join us for a Fishbowl conversation and then join us for a drink with the community 🙂

We constantly face greenwashing across all sectors, thanks to vague language like ‘green’, ‘natural’, and ‘environmentally friendly’, with businesses misrepresenting their environmental claims and causing customer confusion.

Amidst this confusion, how do we position our social enterprises to potential customers, segment audiences, and select the best channels to reach and funders to share our story and its impact on the people and planet?

Come and learn from the experience of Camilla Marcus Dew, Head of Ventures at Connection Crew CIC & Rebecca Ghim, Founder & Director at The Ferm. Be ready to spend the hour to know the challenges and tips in impact marketing.

We will provide you with a space for friendly impactful conversations surrounding the journeys of entrepreneurs in the climate space.

This is an event for:

1. Individuals or organizations starting to develop circular/ sustainable solutions
2. Sustainable start-ups looking to share their experience starting their initiatives
3. Organizations supporting new sustainable businesses to launch
