Our story
This is story of an idea. This idea that a new generation of entrepreneurs, citizens, artists,… would find ways to respond to the major environmental and social challenges of the century.
Important goals and ambitions were set in 2015 to address them: SDGs, the Paris agreement, etc… yet lacked a roadmap. Concrete solutions led by inspiring and driven individuals started emerging, yet remained isolated, unknown, and struggled to scale.The impact ecosystem slowly emerged, yet needed support to grow and accelerate the adoption of new standards. Joining forces was an imperative.
This is how the ChangeNOW Summit was born: bringing together the World’s most innovative minds and sustainability leaders invested in the deployment of concret actions for the planet to make progress and help these ideas spread across industries and geographies.
Carried by a visionary, humanistic and action-oriented spirit, the ChangeNOW adventure started in 2017 in Paris, federating and creating opportunities for thousands of key actors of change ever since.
