Goal
The SDGs encompass every aspect of human and planetary well-being – they're a universal call to action to end poverty, to protect the earth and to ensure all people enjoy peace and prosperity. But we are far from achieving them, as shown in the latest status report from the UN. That is why we have created Impact the Future – a new annual conference that brings together public and private players from more than 50 cities around the world, who are working on solving both local and global challenges through entrepreneurship, innovation and technology.
But it is more than just an event. It is a bold ten-year mission, where we each year want to highlight, celebrate and connect the most promising startups, innovators, corporates and cities that have taken the SDGs into their core business, and help them lead the way for the next ones to come.
