Our launch edition said the world needs answers to challenges
including widespread hunger, climate change, ill health and
inequality. Impact programmes and accelerators which
can scale innovative solutions capable of providing those
answers are vital. The World Food Programme Innovation, Bayer
Foundations, Climate Reality Project, EUTop50 Founders and Tech community,
and Solar Impulse Foundation are some of the organisations and platforms
giving social pioneers and founders the launch pads they need to do this.
Connect with them in this edition.
Carlotta De Toni, Engagement Editor, Impact Innovators
We need to step up eforts to develop a single market for
innovation across Europe. EU institutions have been pushing
hard to achieve this in recent years. With the creation of the
European Innovation Council and the European Science Media
Hub, the European Commission and the European Parliament
respectively, have put in place new structures that support science, research and
in particular innovation. Efective communication will be an important accelerator
in advancing these ecosystems, and in mainstreaming innovations and mindsets
that can build a sustainable Europe and world. This is a space where Impact
Innovators can play an important role - I hope you enjoy this edition.
Dr Roland Strauss, MD, Knowledge4Innovation | Founding Partner,
Impact Innovators
Everyone linked to Impact Innovators is passionate about
working hard to build a better world. Digital editions like this
one, along with the social media campaigns and events we
lead, are the types of tools we use to connect the innovation
dots, and inspire the conveyor belt of game changing solutions
we need to tackle global grand challenges. We’re a growing community
of aligned partners striving to maximise the impact that can be achieved
through good communication – I look forward to collaborating with more of
you in the future.
