It was our last stage during 🇩🇪 SuperBerlin where we discussed our report, which also made headlines in the news: The Recursive | Forbes | Tech.eu | Science|Business | Impact Investor and more. It's clear that the topic covered in our report deeply resonated with many…

“It feels like yesterday but it was over fifteen years ago now that we have evolved beyond the era of simplistic Socially Responsible Investing (#SRI). The game has changed, and the stakes are higher. (…) The days of viewing ESG and returns as separate entities are over. They are intertwined, and it's great to see that the leaders pushing this evolution are often women, driving impactful innovations that do more than just pad the bottom line.”

“This report is a must read for investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers, as it's emphasizing Europe's role in impact investing and the importance of diversity, leading to more creative problem-solving, better decision-making, and ultimately, more successful ventures.”

Thank you to all our partners, panelists, and attendees for making this event and our report such a success!
