Impact Pioneers ’25 is a leadership program designed to bring together changemakers and ecosystem enablers from organizations and networks that are committed to fostering local innovation and entrepreneurship. Built on the belief that entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in driving economic and social progress—and accelerating the global green transition—the program empowers participants to strengthen their impact at home and abroad.
Spanning eight weeks, the program combines weekly virtual sessions with a week-long in-person summit in Stockholm, scheduled for October 2025.
Program Goals:
- Facilitate knowledge exchange and collaboration among global leaders
- Strengthen local ecosystems for climate innovation and entrepreneurship
- Equip participants with tools and insights to drive sustainable transformation
Objectives (Paraphrased):
The short-term goal of the Impact Pioneers ’25 programme is to enhance the capacity of leaders and ecosystem enablers who are driving the growth of local Climate Tech entrepreneurship. By facilitating the exchange of insights, practical tools, case studies, and strategic frameworks, the program aims to amplify collaborative efforts and boost collective impact. A core element involves connecting participants within a global peer group and linking them to Sweden’s dynamic Climate Tech ecosystem. This networking focus is intended to spark potential future collaborations that can support Climate Tech startups and scaleups as they grow their reach, influence, and success.
The long-term objective aligns with SDG 8, target 8.3, which promotes policies and actions that encourage entrepreneurship, innovation, and creativity—ultimately supporting the development and formalization of micro, small, and medium enterprises. This contributes to job creation and the broader goals of sustainable economic, social, and environmental development.
Thematic Focus
The 2025 programme centers on the theme "Enabling Climate Tech Entrepreneurship." Climate Tech refers to innovations specifically designed to assist individuals, governments, and organizations in tackling both the causes and consequences of climate change.
