Belgium

The situation of our environment is critical (pollution, loss of biodiversity).

We are losing our comfort zone. We currently face the silent collapse of our natural ecosystems. Over 1 million species are at the brink of extinction. Unaware of the causes and the impact of climate change and biodiversity loss we are kicking the can down the road.

This session offers an overview of the different funding possibilities for social entrepreneurs. We will present the main impact investors in Belgium. However, we think that social entrepreneurs should not only pay attention to the variety of funding sources and investors.

On March the 8^th, Tamara from She & Company will invite the female voices of the Impact-house to share personal stories on inspiring women. Women of influence, be it grandmothers, teachers or activists, that ignited a sparkle. ‘What women impressed you?

We are delighted to invite you to an inspiring and exclusive online conversation with Dutch Fellow Dennis Karpes on November 12th from 12.00 to 13.30 pm.
