Impact Week 2025 will take place November 18-20 in Malmö, bringing together 800+ impact professionals around the theme “Light the Night” – when it gets darker, we get brighter.
This 21st edition of Impact Europe’s flagship conference (formerly EVPA) is structured around four strategic thematic tracks: Northern Lights (innovative Nordic solutions), Catalytic Constellations (transformative financing instruments), Lightyears Ahead (technology and innovation), and Illuminating Systems Change (cross-sector collaboration).
Opening keynotes will be delivered by Jean-Marc Liebherr-Monet (grandson of Jean Monnet, focusing on European legacy) and Merete Clausen (Deputy CEO of EIF, addressing continental investment strategies).
The speaker lineup includes prominent voices such as Urmi Sengupta (MacArthur Foundation), Lydia Levy (Access – The Foundation for Social Investment), Asa Skogstrom Feldt (IKEA Social Entrepreneurship), Anastasiia Dieieva (Tokarev Foundation), and Nicole Van De Hoeve (ING Netherlands Foundation), with a program balancing strategic panels and collaborative workshops.
The event brings together our diverse ecosystem of +350 members mobilising +13bn AUM across foundations (Laudes Foundation, BMW Foundation), impact funds, banks, and corporate actors – at the iconic Slagthuset venue in Malmo, half an hour from Copenhagen by train. Last year’s conference represented 60 countries, demonstrating the truly international reach of this gathering.
