Sustainability Venture Day Germany

As the world is changing in an ever faster and unpredictable pace, companies need to find new ways to address real human needs in order to survive. Corporations nowadays are asking themselves fundamental questions about the nature, shape, and future of its business - placing sustainability at the heart of its business strategy.

Beyond helping curb global challenges such as environmental degradation, inequality and social injustice, sustainability can drive business success. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics are being used to analyse an organization’s ethical impact and sustainability practices. Research shows that companies with high ESG ratings have a lower cost of debt and equity, and that sustainability initiatives can help improve financial performance while fostering public support.

IE Business School in collaboration with Fraunhofer Venture are launching the first Sustainability Venture Day in Germany, a cutting-edge, highly competitive virtual event designed to identify and support start-ups that have the ability to create sustainable solutions to everyday problems faced by businesses—whether private or public—so as to improve their operations.

In the coming months, we will select 5 start-ups based on their originality, financial viability, and ability to have a positive impact on major challenges for businesses.

Finalists will have the opportunity to pitch their projects to a selected audience composed of investors, government officials, business pioneers and representatives of key industries. They will also have the chance to hear world-leading experts in their field and receive advice, insights and best practices.

Our goal is to create investment opportunities for those entrepreneurs that have ideas that can truly help all parties within the business ecosystem to have better access, quality, sustainability and efficiency of use and delivery of digital business solutions.
