IMPACT FESTIVAL

The IMPACT FESTIVAL is Europe's largest B2B event for sustainable innovations and serves as a central platform for the exchange and collaboration of innovators, investors, and political stakeholders.

• Conferences and Workshops: The festival offers a variety of keynotes, expert talks, panel discussions, and interactive workshops on various topics of sustainable transformation, including mobility, finance, agriculture, circular economy, energy, pollution, and water[2][3].
• Solution Stage: Here, innovative start-ups and scale-ups present their business models and solutions to an audience of investors and partners[2].
• Investor Program: Exclusive lounge and program for investors to learn about the latest investment trends and exchange expert knowledge[2].
• Impact Award: An award for companies that have a positive impact on society and the environment with their solutions and business models[2].

The main mission of the IMPACT FESTIVAL is to accelerate the sustainable transformation of the economy by connecting people and empowering them to create change. The festival is driven by the belief that innovative solutions and a cooperative working approach are crucial to addressing future challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and social conflicts[3].

The IMPACT FESTIVAL is strongly guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the European Green Deal. Here are some of the key initiatives:

• Sustainable Event Organization: The festival is committed to the consistent implementation of sustainable principles and measures in the event itself[1][2].
• Thematic Focus: Focus areas include mobility, finance, agriculture, circular economy, energy, pollution, and water to promote comprehensive sustainable transformation[1][3].
• Partnerships and Networks: The festival is building an extensive network platform that brings together start-ups, SMEs, established companies, and investors to support the implementation of sustainable solutions[1][3].

The IMPACT FESTIVAL is initiated and organized by Neosfer, the innovation department of Commerzbank. Neosfer invests in B2B start-ups and develops prototypes based on new technologies to drive transformation by bringing together people, technology, and capital[2].

Since its founding in 2021, the festival has developed into one of the most influential platforms for exchange and collaboration in the field of sustainable transformation, attracting thousands of participants from around the world each year. It is more than just a two-day event; it is a year-round movement that drives the sustainable transformation of the economy[2][3].
