ABOUT
Barcelona has made impact its business. A city where capital, ideas, and organizations converge around a shared conviction - that the economy can, and must, work differently so that together, people & the planet can thrive.
Once a year, that conviction takes shape. On 13-16 October, Barcelona4Impact is an open platform and celebration of a growing movement of impact and innovation.
Universities, entrepreneurs, investors, public institutions, innovation hubs and startups — any organization working to address systemic challenges and a better future are invited to be part of the week.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
We invite you to be part of our official programme. Join a city-wide movement turning ambition into action — making Barcelona a main stage where conversation turns into action.
Registering your event does more than put it on the map. It puts your work in the spotlight and connects it with a growing movement of founders, investors, organisations and changemakers working to build a better future for all.
