About The Session

Startups are known to be essential drivers of progress and innovation in our societies. Entrepreneurs have become the driving forces of changes, disrupting markets and industries with new technologies, business models, and ideas. But what is the real impact on their environment? This workshop invites participants, both Startups and SMEs, to assess their own impact on society and environment using a system-thinking approach:

  • Helping participants understand the concept of impact and impact evaluation.
  • Getting participants to look at their business with a holistic and circular approach beyond profit.
  • Providing participants with the necessary tools to evaluate the impact of their own business on their environment and assess the impact of their business.
