The two-day live event, IMPACT FESTIVAL, will gather about 3,000 visitors from the business and investment sectors to provide inspiration and professional networking opportunities to embrace sustainability solutions on 13-14 September in Frankfurt, Germany.
Besides the conference format with over 80 speakers on three stages, 200 start-ups and companies will showcase their work in sustainable transformation at the exhibitor area to engage with attendees.
Discussions will include transformation researcher Maja Göpel, mobility expert Katja Diehl, and experts from well-known companies such as Google, Bosch and Salesforce that will take place on-site and online.
The event's content is spread across six innovation areas rooted in the EU Green Deal and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, with an additional Investor Conference embedded into the agenda.
Visitors will have the chance to engage with the IMPACT ART exhibition as part of the program that will feature the work of artist Verena Kandler using previously used materials from last year`s Impact Festival and can visit the photo exhibition "Dry Tears" by Frank Bayh and Steff Rosenberger-Ochs focused on water.
One of the highlights of the event is expected to be the Impact Award ceremony that honours companies committed to contributing to a more sustainable economy in various categories.
Tickets are available on the organiser`s website to join the gathering in person or online.
This annual event is taking place for the third time thanks to a strong support network, including StartHub Hessen, Commerzbank AG, Deutsche Telekom, EY and adelphi.
The IMPACT FESTIVAL is a project of the neosfer GmbH, the early-stage investor and innovation unit of Commerzbank Group, that investigates future technologies relevant to business and society and promotes and develops sustainable and digital solutions.
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.
