Agenda
Session 1: Mission Possible - Showcasing Social Innovation
Discover some of the incredible innovations being developed by this year’s MB100 winners, which are helping to solve the world’s most pressing social and environmental issues.
Session 2: The Impact Investor's Guide to Fundraising
Hear from leading impact investors on how they see the fundraising landscape evolving over the next 12 months, and what social entrepreneurs should focus on to raise capital in challenging times.
Session 3: Accelerating Social Procurement
Sourcing from impact start-ups can play a critical role in driving change within large businesses. Our panel considered challenges that corporate leaders and entrepreneurs experience in these partnerships, and explored opportunities to increase social value purchasing in the face of economic pressures.

The current climate and economic threats are increasing the urgency for social and environmental solutions, whilst putting pressure on budgets and creating competing priorities. Our speakers discussed ways to drive scale in this uncertain context.
