Description
Global challenges are intensifying, from climate change to workforce disruption. And companies are being called on—by customers, employees, and markets—to move beyond business as usual to create impact. This panel will explore how corporate philanthropy and impact investing are used to catalyze growth of early-stage nonprofits and start-ups for impact outcomes, including: upskilling and training a rapidly shifting workforce in the age of artificial intelligence (AI), and reducing carbon emissions from building operations, construction, and manufacturing industries. In this session, leaders from corporate foundations, nonprofits, and start-ups will share how they’re unlocking resources—including funding, technology, and expertise—to create an ecosystem for emerging solutions to our most urgent challenges to thrive.
