Sustainable Impact Investing Forum

Sustainable Impact Forum @ Meet Taipei on Nov 22, 2024

“The SDGs aren’t just a list of goals. They carry the hopes, dreams, rights and expectations of people everywhere,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres said. [1] World leaders adopted the SDGs in 2015, promising to leave no one behind. The goals include ending extreme poverty and hunger, ensuring access to clean water and sanitation, as well as green energy, and providing quality universal education and lifelong learning opportunities. However, the Sustainable Development Goals Progress Chart 2023 shows over one-third—37 per cent—of these targets have experienced no progress or, even worse, have regressed below the 2015 baseline. [2]

To react to the call of rescuing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are woefully off-track halfway towards their 2030 deadline, we believe our startup communities can contribute positively and affirmatively to accelerate the development towards the 169 targets inside 17 goals. This sustainable impact forum and successive activities are created to raise awareness of these deficiencies and encourage people to bring impactful actions into the global community. A group of international impact investment experts is assembled to bring their views for you to gain knowledge about what practices have been carried out. They will also help us to pick up several winners from a group of selected impact-seeking companies in a pitch contest.

Please join us on the morning of Friday, November 22nd, 2024. You will learn from a live interaction between investors and entrepreneurs for many opportunities in different SDG categories.
