Entrepreneurs have been shaping the world we live in. Yet, issues like access to education, food security, environmental protection are more prevalent than ever. Across four developing countries, some impressive and inspiring entrepreneurs are starting companies not for profit, but for a reason. They are impact entrepreneurs, fighting for social and environmental justice. A carbon-free production.

Director Statement
It is time to follow the path of the impact entrepreneurs, who do not seek only profit, but are fighting to generate an impact around them and address the immense contemporary issues we are facing. Extra financial criteria have to be considered in business to finally respond to the climate and social emergencies.
In developing countries where entrepreneurial ecosystems are still at early stages of development, creativity emerges from those constraints, and impact entrepreneurs are fighting everyday for a more responsible way of doing business. Those mission-driven pioneers are showing us the way.
