Impact driven business 2020

How sustainability can be a business potential for startups  

The world is currently facing challenges such as climate change, pollution and poverty that cannot be solved with traditional business models. New ways of thinking and developing business are needed.

IMPACT-driven businesses are an important part of this change. They build on SDGs – the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals – which in a very short time have become something everyone around the world is talking about.

With this event, we want to focus on the local IMPACT startups in Aarhus and will also take a broader look on some of our closest neighbors. Are you working with sustainability and business development, be sure to get a seat!! The event will take place online.
