How can your startup deliver for profit, people and the planet? Startups that maximise their positive impact don’t just “do good”, they do better. They are more resilient, attract top talent, and unlock new opportunities. Join this workshop to explore how sustainability can create concrete value for your business.

The market is shifting: consumers are choosing sustainable products and services, investors are looking at social and environmental performance, corporates are prioritising sustainable partners, and talent wants purposeful work. Legislation is also pushing companies to reduce negative impacts along their value chains.

What to expect

A workshop exploring how sustainability can create concrete value for your business: from understanding your social and environmental impact to identifying opportunities and making informed business choices.

You will start learning the essential tools and knowledge to navigate your own impact journey, whether for your startup, project or future venture. The workshop will conclude with a networking apéro.

Who is it for?

The workshop is open to anyone with an idea, a project or a startup at any stage who wants to understand how to create value for people and the planet, as well as for their own business.

The workshop is organised by USI Startup Centre and Impact Hub Ticino as part of the Innosuisse Entrepreneurship Training programme.

Places are limited. Participation is free, but registration is mandatory.
