100+ HOURS OF PROGRAMMING
The world has been slow to act in its pursuit of creating net-zero economies and limiting temperatures to 1.5°C by 2030. In light of these urgencies, governments and the private sector will need to augment their collaborative efforts through forward-looking technology solutions and fast-track sustainable development across all industry verticals globally.
The GITEX Impact’s Leaders of Impact Summit is a high-level platform convening over 50 global thought leaders from governments, intergovernmental agencies, sustainability leaders, and technology solution providers for inspirational dialogues and expert opinions aimed at catalysing the global sustainable transition through progressive strategies, and tech-enabled solutions that will have a meaningful, influential, and lasting impact on our world.
According to OECD, over $3.5 trillion worth of investments is required to address the critical funding gap across global markets to meet the UN sustainable development goals by 2030. The banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) sector will play a critical role in enabling climate-conscious investment practices paving the way for a just transition to cleaner societies whilst also maintaining profits, promoting better climate reporting and transparency practices across global industries.
GITEX Impact’s International Sustainable Investment Summit will convenes over 50 global leaders from the financial services, banking, and insurance ecosystem to fathom the potential of future-ready sustainable financial instruments to achieve economic, social and environmental sustainability, whilst equally helping organisations bolster business resilience and mitigate financial risks.
Team up with like-minded individuals, explore innovative solutions to predefined sustainability challenges, brainstorm with industry leaders, bring your sustainability ideas to life, and present as a team to a jury of experts during these 90-minute hands-on sessions. Not only will participants gain inputs into invaluable strategies, and knowledge, but could also be crowned the winning team.
Fifteen-minute interactive presentations from industry experts on the show floor that provide an unmatched experience for attendees to gain access to valuable insights, empowering stories, innovative ideas, and pioneering strategies that have the potential to leave an impact on the world. Presentations are open to researchers, academics and students as well.
Develop detailed plans of action to meet your organization’s sustainability goals and challenges in a private board-room style meeting set-up. Attendees will get to define their challenges and desired outcomes, through a pre-event questionnaire, identify, and discuss solutions during the session and receive feedback, and strategies from industry leaders, all of which will be culminated in an outcome report outlining the key takeaways to achieve the desired sustainability objectives.
