IMPACT FESTIVAL offers start-ups, investors and companies a platform for networking and exchange
The IMPACT FESTIVAL, Europe’s largest B2B event for sustainable transformation, opens its doors again in 2023. The third edition will take place on 13 and 14 September in the Fredenhagen Hall in Offenbach. The goal is clear: investors and companies get to know innovative solutions from start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises that can significantly accelerate the sustainable transformation of companies and industries with their products.
Visitors of the event can experience the solutions in the exhibition area and exchange ideas with other company representatives about challenges, concrete application possibilities and examples. The IMPACT FESTIVAL offers start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises a platform to promote their products to those who need them. Or in other words: solution providers meet solution seekers. In addition, the event connects investors and start-ups and lays the financial foundation for the scaling and further success of sustainable innovations.
The most promising start-ups will be awarded the IMPACT AWARD again this year.
Numerous lectures and workshops by visionaries and innovation leaders provide background information and valuable impulses when it comes to key entrepreneurial challenges in implementing the sustainable transformation. Here, too, the various formats offer not only a look at the status quo, but a variety of points of contact to facilitate the transformation in one’s own company as well as the development of innovative solutions.
For the third edition, the IMPACT FESTIVAL expects around 200 exhibitors, 80 speakers and 3,000 visitors. The event will be complemented by an extensive side programme as well as informative formats such as the IMPACT TALK podcast, best practices and cases in the
IMPACT MAGAZINE and the IMPACT COMMUNITY, where people can network and exchange ideas throughout the year. Interested parties can register now for the start of ticket sales: impact-festival.earth/tickets-en.
The IMPACT FESTIVAL first took place in September 2021 and celebrated its second edition in October 2022. In addition to the annual two-day event, the project acts as a platform for key stakeholders of the sustainable transformation to network and exchange ideas year-round through the IMPACT COMMUNITY. With an extensive supporting program, including IMPACT WEEK, webinars, the podcast IMPACT TALK and an online magazine, the IMPACT FESTIVAL pursues the goal of accelerating sustainable transformation throughout the year.
The IMPACT FESTIVAL is a project of the neosfer GmbH, early-stage investor and innovation unit of Commerzbank Group. It investigates future technologies that are relevant to business and society and promotes and develops sustainable, digital solutions. All of this is done through the three areas of invest, build and connect. It creates access to innovation through strategic venture capital (invest), in-house development of technologies and business models (build), and building ecosystems around the sustainable and digital future of society (connect).
