Supporting the financing of innovative and circular business solutions is crucial for building back better from the COVID-19 crisis and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Join the Impact Hub Geneva on Tuesday 30 November at 8:00-9:30 AM CET to connect with our flagship program Accelerate2030's most innovative entrepreneurs at our event “Global Innovation for the SDGs” that will be held at Building Bridges 2021, Forum Genève, Auditorium Galata. From coral reef-safe sunscreen made from agricultural waste to simplified investment solutions for clean energy, the Accelerate2030 ventures create solutions for our world's most pressing challenges, drive the circular economy transition and change the future of business around the globe! Co-initiated by Impact Hub and UNDP Geneva in 2016, Accelerate2030 has become the world’s largest program for scaling entrepreneurial solutions towards the SDGs. In this fourth edition of the program, we received over 1400 applications from 20 countries, and selected 15 of the most promising SDG-focused entrepreneurs! 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭: The event will be followed by a networking session from 9:30-11:00 AM. Facilitated matchmaking opportunities will be organized throughout the week at Building Bridges.
