When Unlikely Forces Collide
“Poetry happens when two words meet for the first time” -Unknown
Innovation happens, when different concepts, experiences, or realities meet for the first time. When seemingly disparate ideas converge to spark something new. When unlikely forces collide. This year’s Impact Days brings together unlikely allies to explore three of the strongest forces that drive our world: Nature, People, and Technology. Dozens of sessions and diverse participants will meet, exchange, and learn from unlikely innovators, working to make our world a better place.
In anticipation of the Impact Days, this “Teaser” brings you together with three entrepreneurs to discuss the unlikely forces that make their visions possible. Each entrepreneur represents Nature, People, or Technology and will also speak to the essential interplay of these three. Join us for an evening of inspiration, conversation, and connection.
What to Expect:
- Impulses from 3 Entrepreneurs: Learn about their stories and what forces unlocked each of their innovations.
- Connections: Meet with fellow Impact Makers in topical, hosted conversations.
- Get a taste of Impact Days 2025: An appetizer of what our flagship event in the City Hall of Vienna is framed around this year.
- Wine! Here’s to you and all the other Impact Makers working to make a difference.
