Unpack Impact | 2022
TOPIC
For this year, the theme will be ‘Investing in De-Growth’ and is therefore hosted on the eve of Black Friday.
We will have a proactive conversation about how de-growing practices, entrepreneurship and investment are working together to enable a change in the way we think of businesses. How are these ideas put into practice? What role do entrepreneurs play? How degrowth can benefit your company? We invite you to join us in discussing these very important questions.
