🌍 Cross-Sector Partnerships That Transform: Are We Ready for the Next Paradigm? In a world facing challenges like climate change, inequality, and poverty, the potential of partnerships between corporations and social enterprises is immense. Yet, too often, these partnerships remain transactional, short-lived, and tied to outdated power dynamics. What if we flipped the script? 🔄 From Business Case for Impact to Impact for Business Case 🤝 From Fabricated Consensus to Conflictual Consensus 🌱 From Competitive Advantage to Collaborative Economic Systems These shifts aren't just ideas—they're imperatives for meaningful, long-term impact. But making them requires courage, creativity, and a willingness to challenge the status quo. In my upcoming workshop, I’ll explore these transformative shifts, unpacking: ✅ Why sustainability must be seen as an objective value beyond organisational gains. ✅ How to co-create partnerships that balance power, drive innovation, and amplify shared societal value. ✅ Tools to assess your organisation’s readiness for impactful partnerships.

Fascinating, inspiring day at the Ecosystem Exchange, bringing together leaders and entrepreneurs to discuss what drives high-performing ecosystems and how to address critical gaps. Here are key messages that emerged: 🌍 Global Perspectives: When diverse backgrounds come together, they bring a world-focused view, driving solutions that address global challenges. Universities, with global students and staff, are particularly pertinent here. 🚀 Protect the pioneers: Support and protect those that are pushing the boundaries - that are crucial to any ecosystem, especially early-stages. Provide funding - but not at the cost of progress. 💡 Foundations of Strong Ecosystems: A strong system requires a clear narrative, talent pipeline, education programmes and social infrastructure - such as networking and peer-learning structures. These elements help draw investment and build a solid support base for start-ups. 🔥 Increasing Ambition: Exposure to ambitious, successful founders raises collective aspirations and shows founders what’s possible - essential for driving growth. You cannot be what you can't see. 🏆 Build the Market, Then Compete: Collaboration strengthens markets; competition can come later. Engaging with industry partners and allowing start-ups to interface with large companies enables deeper understanding of customer proposition and new opportunities. 🌐 Diversity of Thought: Diverse viewpoints aren’t just nice to have; they’re essential for tackling complex problems and fostering creative, long-term solutions. 🏙️ Attracting Major Companies: Strong start-up ecosystems attract large corporations, which seek vibrant communities and innovation-driven environments. There's more to come - there was too much for one post! Thanks so much to the team at the Edinburgh Futures Institute for a slick, professional event. Many thanks to the panels for their fascinating insight: Amanda Allan, Tony Raven, Dr Poonam Malik, MBA, FRSE FRSB, Russell Gundry, Louise Harris, Andrew Wordsworth, Colin Tan FRSA, Yasmin Sulaiman Really good to get a founders perspective on this from Andy Robinson, Matt Farrugia. Fantastic to meet you and look forward to further discussions Julie Grieve, and to catch up with Sarah Agar-Brennan and Brian Sharkey.

“We live in a mad world, but we do see some amazing, bold people from everywhere working every single day for a brighter future” That was the overarching theme at this year’s @impactweek by the ‘’investing for impact network’’ of @impacteurope and what a WEEK it was. A full house gathering with at least a thousand attendees sharing their projects and ambitions with each other and setting the scene for the impact investment world for future . All together we learned about innovative ideas, discovered new trends, and exchanged ideas. Madness, Boldness and Brightness were the main themes of the conference and a lot of different panels and workshops are offered during those 3 days of full impact. I tried to capture insights from this vibrant and passionate community and here are my key take aways which I belive are most important for the impact audience.  EU continued leading the way as a catalytic funder  Foundations continue being a key catalytic player in the sector representing %11, potential to mobilize further 50-60 bn more  Pension funds and institutional investors are on the horizon  120% growth in blended finance deals  There is a spectrum of possibilities for investment starting from catayltic grant making to the other end -tradional investing- investor addionality is what differentiates impact investment from other options. Here's to continuing the momentum toward impactful solutions! 🚀 #impactinvestment #impactleadership Great insights from other speakers 🙌 but so many so I couldn't write each down here, special thanks to the co host of the week @Oscar UGARTE Gamboa, Managing Director of @SeedCapitalBizkaia for making the event faboulus with their hearts and souls. And my dear community The League of Intrapreneurs who invited me and also curated the most exciting workshop within the week offering the intelligence of powerful intrapreneurs doing the ‘’good business’’ from within their organisations as #changefromwithin. We, as the LOI, are offering an ‘’Intrapreneur Leadership Lab’’ in May 2025, and if you are interested please contact me for details.  Next year, Impact week will be hosted in the great city of Malmö, so be there if you are part of the impact mission of the investment world.

More insightful, more engrossing and more impactful! This year we packed our beautifully crafted impact report with the stories, the numbers and - most importantly - the people behind the impact we’re having in the world. Hear about the alternative eco energy venture of Aya Fernandez in the Phiiippines, who has probably the most powerful quote in the whole report. And discover that - while on average in the global startup sector only 1 in 5 ventures is led by women - at Impact Hub Network it’s 1 in 2! And if we look at how many women in percentage hold leadership positions in the 12k enterprises we support every year, receipt the percentage rising to 71%!!! Read below and download the report, this one is really worth it!!

54k+ reasons to believe in change. That’s how many impact-driven participants we have supported last year through the Impact Hub Network. But what truly stands out to me isn’t the numbers—it’s the stories. After almost a year here, I’ve seen how transformative ideas emerge and take shape in this network. I’m glad I can be around the passion of the people who make them happen. At the heart of all this is a simple drive: there is another way to do business. We’re not only talking about change—we’re empowering impact makers to cultivate the ideas that drive systemic transformation. And it’s working. Don’t just take my word for it—please take a moment to meet the people themselves. You can hear from them directly in our new Impact Report 2023-2024 https://lnkd.in/eG9CeW8D #ImpactHubNetwork #ImpactEntrepreneurship #ImpactInnovators #SocialEntrepreneurship #SocialImpact #SocialInnovation  #BusinessSupport #EcosystemForChange
