Schedule 2026
The community of "for impact" investors unites actors from banks, business angels, VCs, pension funds, funding funds, family offices, foundations, as well as individual HNWIs and NextGens. This dynamic ecosystem offers a platform for confidential exchange – exclusively within the donor and funding side.
The focus is on the specific characteristics and potential of impact-oriented startups and companies in the scaling process. The goal is to develop innovative investment models and test future-proof approaches.
Interested investors and foundations are invited to an Investors & Foundations Meet-up in spring. New contacts can be made over a relaxed lunch and the topics of the Impact Catalyst can be explored.
In summer, we offer personal 1:1 matchmakings with the start-up finalists and invite you to the Impact Catalyst Night on 3 September in Zurich, where presentations and showrooms with products and services allow you to experience the impact-oriented start-ups.
This is how we strengthen collaborations and create synergies between business and philanthropy.
