Impact investing seeks to generate measurable social and environmental benefits alongside financial returns. For VCs dedicated to sustainability, investing in companies with circular economy business models is more than a financial decision — it’s a commitment to creating significant environmental impact.

Venture Capitals offer more than just capital; they bring insights, expertise, and strategic to help startups grow faster and more efficiently.

This event will explore how Venture Capital can drive innovation, foster sustainable development, and accelerate the growth of circular economy initiatives.
