What’s Coming in 2027

ChangeNOW celebrates its 10th edition from 26 to 28 April 2027 at the Grand Palais. Business angel networks have contributed to Angels for Change since the beginning, by mobilising their members and taking part in panels. For this anniversary edition, we are handing over the writing of the programme to the people who bring these communities to life.

We are looking for two to three partner networks to define what the programme covers and who it brings together. The learning expedition remains its foundation — taking investors into direct contact with solutions they would not come across otherwise. Everything else is open: the running order, the speakers, the balance between learning and encounters. Formats that extend the day beyond the Grand Palais are welcome.

What we provide

A dedicated space and a 90-minute slot within the Grand Palais
Access to the exhibiting solutions to build your learning expedition, and to the wider ChangeNOW ecosystem of impact funds and institutional players
On-site logistics and operations
Coordination throughout the year, with a single point of contact
Invitations for your members
Your logo associated with the programme on ChangeNOW communication materials

Expressions of interest close on 15 October 2026. Partner networks are announced in early November, and co-construction runs until the summit.
