What?
We aim to lift our common European potential to advance the green transition. But how? Trust, leadership, and innovation do not fall from the sky. Hence we convene, engage and support global and local C-level actors, seniors and learners, creators with power– and those with ideas.
We boost leaders to act across sectors and silos, and between capitals and the field.
What if the green transition’s success depends on the What, the Who, and the How? What if we invest resources in big dialogue — rather than big data? What if we lift new nodes and networks — rather than silos and sectors? To foster public-private action, we bring realists and idealists, CEOs and civil society leaders, presidents and pupils in one room.
