00:00:00
well i mean maybe we just also move uh i think it's a little bit more
00:00:08
no
00:00:10
don't stray too far to michael machine uh who knows we might even
00:00:15
call on you to come back up unanswered question from here if um
00:00:20
so we got to hear from a great set of presentations i guess what
00:00:25
i wanted to kick off a and and kind of talk about to start with
00:00:29
was just what does the world need these type uh solutions ends and why is it
00:00:34
that innovation is is so important for solving some of the societal issues that that were seen
00:00:39
um so i thought there was a copy use it might be interested in in
00:00:42
answering this um but maybe i start uh with with user what what is it that
00:00:47
makes it so important for innovative solutions to solve some of the
00:00:51
things that you're seen in the urban areas that you're working on
00:00:54
i think yeah it is it is important to have
00:00:57
innovation to provide solutions for people who are in the transition
00:01:03
in the ecological transition the case and we say
00:01:07
with people who are already in the transition may
00:01:10
apply the city sense but the solution has to
00:01:13
be also be uh make visible and to be implemented
00:01:18
by people who are not yet in the transitional process i think it is
00:01:23
important to create all these innovation to be able to support uh our ecological transition
00:01:30
um and to provide the solutions which will
00:01:33
be needed and in an emergency straight away
00:01:38
thanks uh sir we've also have lucy uh is a voice present from sales force one of our founding partners
00:01:44
but also long experience in i'm looking to support entrepreneurship on the ground lose you you you've talked to me a little bit the
00:01:51
pass about a planetary crisis what why is it that this is
00:01:54
so important i think that just said teaching our uh it's an emergency
00:01:59
and ah we won't be able to so late on how
00:02:02
how we we just need to friday or novice business components
00:02:06
people citizen and and what is really remarkable it is to
00:02:10
be allies that fifty percent of the technologies that we need
00:02:15
i too easy to to on t. c. s. d. t. cool say i have not been invented it's
00:02:21
and we just seen this afternoon this fantastic equal entrepreneurs
00:02:24
you look up full of concrete ideas that hassling local problems
00:02:28
we see and that's carried out worldwide scatter and we
00:02:32
really need to support those on a cool entrepreneur for stare
00:02:37
foster idea develop nancy he'd nights ah and
00:02:41
more importantly uh find some ways to fund than
00:02:46
say yes very very concrete go to action to love us ah
00:02:51
and and to to execute ah on this h. s. t. g. goals
00:02:56
and do they call entrepreneurs ah creating the tactics that the
00:03:00
date strategy today and they are helping as breach the gap
00:03:04
they get that we have with us corporation to shift to
00:03:08
word testicular i could then just think differently about those changes
00:03:14
that's really see um uh maybe uh come not to restore
00:03:17
wrist so a former colleague a long experience working with the
00:03:22
family businesses but also know the chairman of the board of
00:03:25
the impact office and really looking to connect investment to entrepreneurs
00:03:29
um what what are you seen what why is it that people are are in demand for
00:03:34
for for the solutions that these innovations are are providing what is it that's that's making them such a
00:03:40
exciting opportunity to justice to use i think it's still
00:03:43
fall down i could recall mostly on the urgency that
00:03:46
the grass root innovation is needed to disrupt big industry and the big players probably won't be fast enough to
00:03:53
keep us on to one point degrees and yet on the other hand we it's a huge business opportunities so
00:03:59
a opportunity of our generation on a lifetime i just heard from
00:04:04
our dear colleague same in norway couple foundation run by a family office
00:04:09
they actually had tool unicorn as last week uh in four years says zero tool one billy also
00:04:15
so it is also huge opportunity for for investors to look at sorties a twofold win win situation
00:04:22
that's a catapult lotion is one of the uh organisations that isn't supporting directly and then turn over though
00:04:27
uh if you haven't had a chance to get to know
00:04:29
them in their portfolio companies a great set of of oceans solutions
00:04:34
um now you talked about disrupting the the big corporate players j. n. you're coming to us
00:04:39
from the lakes uh one of the of course also funny partner with a set up like but
00:04:44
um i think you know there is such an important element that that corporate the corporate sector can play
00:04:50
uh in supporting entrepreneurship maybe you can talk a little bit about um why this is so important for double
00:04:55
it and now you're you're involved with on the ground innovation for for the s. t. v.s absolution so you
00:05:04
i mean if you've seen the latest ewing report climate
00:05:07
report you see that we ordinary credible crisis and i think
00:05:11
what we see overall going back to your original question why now is you know there's there's less
00:05:19
question about the need for it but there's
00:05:21
more technology innovation capabilities in science than we've ever
00:05:25
had to address these problems so i think that's a that's a good one reason why now
00:05:30
uh to draw some of the challenges um from the way perspective
00:05:34
um or or see yo launch the program two years ago too
00:05:40
a coworker climate to for two ways as many different corporates
00:05:44
to go meet the net zero commitments are about twenty thirty
00:05:48
and so we've put those employees were putting those employees were cutting or travel yeah you by half
00:05:55
we're making sure that uh all of our buildings will be a
00:05:57
hundred percent renewable energy uh by twenty thirty uh but that's not enough
00:06:04
alright in so what we recognise that um our clients
00:06:08
consumers employees are demanding that the way takes more action
00:06:13
and this is not only just for the way this is for all corporates in this is
00:06:17
what's driving kind of the change in mentality of corpus to focus not just on pure profit
00:06:23
but like sales force reimbursed one percent of the revenues back into a
00:06:27
social investments the weight is doing to similar things and so for us
00:06:32
we need to reach outside organisation to help
00:06:35
other organisations entrepreneurs um to actually do more
00:06:40
um the biggest round receipt probably now is is so much money pouring into social investing that
00:06:46
no different groups or have more access to phones but is not just access to phones that people need
00:06:52
we need the ability to reach out to resources in different countries
00:06:56
to actually expand in deploying scale what they're what these innovative solutions or
00:07:01
what you hear from uh the lead consoles around the world
00:07:04
but how they want us be involved to support entrepreneurs is
00:07:08
is a good example that uh the white launched a what
00:07:12
challenge on top link for will class um related to education
00:07:16
so we set a goal to buy twenty thirty two
00:07:20
impact fifty million lives through better act better access to education
00:07:24
um two years ago we were making such good progress on that actually or c. o. up that two hundred million
00:07:31
and so all of our member friends around the world have targets on how the hell
00:07:35
people get better access to education um so what
00:07:39
we do is we launched the uh challenged up link
00:07:43
which actually is looking for new technologies new ways especially given the
00:07:47
impact of covered one hoping um people with lower access to education
00:07:53
have more in in actually or employees or super motivated to get involved in these kind of programs
00:07:58
because they they see this is something that they can contribute back beyond just a normal day job
00:08:05
well maybe we can stick with the private sector uh support for innovation for a moment um
00:08:11
uh from the family business side reached the you've you've seen and been part of family businesses
00:08:17
uh what is it they're unique a way in which family
00:08:20
businesses support entrepreneurs and in terms of their their development and scale
00:08:27
that investing from a family office of family basis side is the values
00:08:33
and i'm often family offices on mark looking tool
00:08:37
makes it in seven years with that x. or
00:08:40
or so for what they are there for for long term for the value alignment is they are
00:08:45
the several bottlenecks why why we're not seeing this deployment of capital you scale
00:08:51
um but definitely about yeah i'm cards all the entrepreneurs
00:08:55
presenting today to look for diesel sit family offices or
00:09:00
or family businesses us potential source of funding because they not just
00:09:04
provide the capital but they might also provide the network on supplied say
00:09:08
an uneven manufacturing that has been established over over generations or so that
00:09:14
would be an interesting opportunity for for many start ups to look into
00:09:20
of uh lucy sales force has a invested massively in entrepreneurs
00:09:26
uh both those that are gonna be supporting your your main business and and the sort of software side also
00:09:32
in terms of solving the the the climate crisis um do you wanna talk a little bit about why this is so important
00:09:37
for for you guys yes it sets pretty fundamental and insisting
00:09:42
abilities one of our core value lets sense phones and a half
00:09:46
everyone everyone about sounds and s. seventy five thousand
00:09:50
employees that ah right leaning against in this value
00:09:54
and and if we want to poke the tool cried and save concretely
00:09:59
ah yes sure not banning oh fancy
00:10:01
you and announced as three hundred million investments
00:10:06
and inclined that actions have one underneath me and i invest in the in kind of an sure
00:10:12
to really accelerate investments in a cool entrepreneur as any in net reforestation uh in the cities
00:10:18
and uh i know they're found was created by
00:10:21
mark and his wife at t. v. i accelerate a
00:10:25
contribution to read the uh one trillion night fleas that
00:10:30
oh danish keith and then one ah hundred edition unions
00:10:35
and i will be invested in the next ten years at u. actually ground provide grounds to entrepreneurs
00:10:41
have phones and non profit initiate tastes at that contribute to the
00:10:46
restoration of because he stands one of them and being obviously waters
00:10:50
ocean before station and concretely walking to to you know the employee
00:10:55
he ah and why not everyone of s. s. citizen can contribute
00:11:00
access force we had the ambition to contribute to
00:11:03
two point five million hours of work on tearing time
00:11:07
off right yeah ah actually everyone of us has employed he's dating back
00:11:12
and we want to release to produce those non profit in
00:11:15
haiti's in and they could top earners to really have an impact
00:11:21
inspiring i fully more companies uh how many of you are representing multinational companies that are in the audience
00:11:27
a few hopefully there's some inspiration about how how the law in sales
00:11:31
force are doing it um sarah you engage the private sector you engage municipalities
00:11:36
um do you wanna talk a little bit about how private sector companies
00:11:39
have been involved with the with the next generation living uh up to now
00:11:44
so uh we're approached by or develop this ominous apologies
00:11:49
to implement the methodology and i think they see um
00:11:54
a good way to actually follow and methodology to implement different topics
00:11:59
and sustainability which is for us really important so we have more
00:12:02
it generates stick approach and we work together with all these partners
00:12:06
you propose specific solutions as we can see in this forum and it
00:12:10
is important to actually propose as they come and landing approach all
00:12:15
those different a methodology is but a one methodology to apply all these
00:12:21
um solutions and uh we see that the interface the it's coming
00:12:27
a lot from the mentality is to create sustainable uh and maybe that's
00:12:32
ah in a holistic way they looking actually for collaborative process
00:12:36
yes and to actually integrate also the inhabitants of the community
00:12:42
ah but also develop is the the approach as interesting because it it it
00:12:47
goes to and maybe that's gay and so this is actually important is about
00:12:50
the scale and impact you can have an influence you can have at a
00:12:55
means party level at both the pair me to office at five area so
00:13:01
we see this as something we we we we guide people in
00:13:06
the process of common landing and we want them to integrate innovation
00:13:12
within their areas that we not a saying
00:13:15
what innovation to have to integrate because we see
00:13:18
this as a long process and always the best innovation will be implemented them at the moment being
00:13:25
uh it's it's a good example of how you know you have to provide those nudges for people but they're gonna they're
00:13:31
gonna find the the the right way on their own a lot of ways so you you have to talk good so you
00:13:36
get them at target and they have to provide the solutions
00:13:39
to reach the target every time in the context of a project
00:13:43
and this makes it quite unique and we also provide the financial means
00:13:48
in the name of it at operational phase so they
00:13:50
can continue the innovation and the commanding during operation face
00:13:55
and this is where investors are seen also equality uh
00:14:00
delivered within the name of it because you you have people who want to live in such areas uh_huh yep
00:14:08
well uh switzerland is made the the weather from informs
00:14:12
top i think five countries to live in so people clearly
00:14:15
wanna live here uh there is beginning to be a developing
00:14:19
innovation ecosystems particularly see and zurich of course in those on
00:14:23
um but what we've observed over the last couple years of operation is that
00:14:28
uh it's not an equal playing field for everybody not everybody has the silicon valley backing
00:14:33
or even some of the cambridge ox bridge type of of ecosystems
00:14:37
um so i wanna talk a little bit about the swiss innovation ecosystem
00:14:40
um but let's just get a little bit of a sense of the
00:14:43
room so we heard there was a handful of people representing multinational companies
00:14:47
uh is anybody here from either academia
00:14:50
or international organisations municipalities in the room
00:14:54
a few of you uh other fellow entrepreneurs better here in the audience uh see a
00:14:59
couple hands raising timidly some you should be sure you should be a proud of that
00:15:04
uh what about investors other investors and for the person the room as well family foundations businesses
00:15:10
okay so you get a little bit of a sense we got some of the ecosystem here um
00:15:16
maybe we talk about what's really working well what what is
00:15:19
really working well here in this was ecosystem um maybe i
00:15:23
start wrist on your side you you've been or you were at uh uh some events in in zurich earlier in the year
00:15:30
uh you're very active here in the geneva ecosystem for for supporting investors and entrepreneurs
00:15:36
what you think is going really well when it comes to our support innovation switzerland innovation i think it's
00:15:42
one of the top clause uh in the wells we see no basin and support system startups coming out of
00:15:47
the universities the opportunities are multitude how to scale and
00:15:52
crawl that company uh there's a lot of support uh
00:15:56
for these kind of um especially tech oriented initiatives uh
00:16:00
so that part is really working well and and it's
00:16:03
getting a lot of traction on actually a lot of the money flow team even during the pandemic for the innovation
00:16:10
um perhaps that table could be copy it towards the impact so we
00:16:14
taking first that's on on that side so so we packed often is somehow
00:16:20
they can or cost them in the room so we're not using the similar
00:16:24
established models for telling the fans tool really impact real adventures all this something
00:16:30
for us to discuss and an improved and maybe the corporate help would be there most valued about uh
00:16:36
was with something definitely this is one of the model countries they mean driving innovation and getting that founded
00:16:44
lucy j. and what are you seen what what is working really well when terms your
00:16:48
company's involvement in either the the luzon scene and or in zurich where you seen ah
00:16:55
i think we see a lot of ah you know a lot of traction conning frown
00:17:02
yeah university has a lot of innovation coming at us gets in there and mentioning
00:17:08
we want to be even more and even close are actually we want to be nurtured you could see stand
00:17:14
and bring this innovation actually closer to us and
00:17:17
also connect augustine as some not there and ah investors
00:17:21
i had to do is to do satin it cool entrepreneur
00:17:25
and this innovators hands on in switzerland this year we're taking ah
00:17:30
yeah there the focus really insisted maybe see instances within
00:17:35
this year to actually connect the dots in creating fencing connection
00:17:39
to actually yeah at bring ah didn't acts uh
00:17:43
i opportunities uh forwards so ah on i i think
00:17:48
if we here is because we know that sat on what has been done so far is not enough
00:17:53
and we need to accelerate so we're thinking of an as than in one of their
00:17:59
biggest innovation at company underwear out how we can actually translate
00:18:04
data like consistency portend me what would happen as as well don't
00:18:10
and i reckon we second what to you both of said i mean you switch
00:18:13
one's gonna long history of innovation in research the universities are top remember doing work with
00:18:19
different groups in the technique park in zurich uh in so i think the question is not so much um
00:18:26
innovations which one which is clearly leader with you know especially with
00:18:29
incentives for or in the but uh how can innovation be driven more
00:18:34
outing to other countries developing countries where things
00:18:38
can you have developed grass roots locally um
00:18:48
so you know for years
00:18:50
i'm sorry i'm gonna speak into the mike uh sorry about that
00:18:54
um what has been your experience there and i'm also gonna ask i'm
00:18:57
gonna give a microphone to michael in a second uh what what has
00:19:00
been your experience ah how is the ecosystem years what's on supporting you
00:19:05
i think we have a really gets a ecosystem of all these and different uh innovative
00:19:11
is ah i think uh we have uh a big problem at that the knowledge transfer
00:19:17
into actually the day to day business uh the business as usual and as you can see it so
00:19:22
i think uh that way he it needs to be without enough uh in a barbell like uh we know
00:19:28
what we wanted to see if uh the problem is once you step out of this data you see
00:19:33
that all these different innovation if that are created or
00:19:37
that are available uh in switzerland or well why it
00:19:40
uh i'm not finding its way to actually uh he
00:19:44
he's it is the normal day to day uses and
00:19:47
this is why uh i think it is important to
00:19:50
add this filter about agenda realistic approach to actually how them
00:19:55
finding the right solution that they need to implemented because it is difficult to start from zero
00:20:01
to then implement specific solution says you need in
00:20:04
between the sort of fit about making it ah
00:20:08
digest to to really bring at these innovations to
00:20:12
people and help them how to integrate and and
00:20:16
most important why they have to implement them this is what uh_huh i would say okay
00:20:22
michael what about you a a normal little bit unorthodox here
00:20:25
uh going to the audience for buttons you were appear with us
00:20:29
your basin zurich what you seen about innovation ecosystems results i mean i i should
00:20:34
give the disclaimer that that we set up shop in in yeah originally i'm kind and
00:20:37
oh yeah i i've now come to europe and of course what i find in
00:20:40
europe compared to india in your we're very close to the action setting itself asian market
00:20:44
um what line out technology on south asian natural assets but of course um we find
00:20:50
a there's a lot of intelligence here that coming out of the th e. p. a.
00:20:53
p. f. l. um to name just a there's two and we find it more diverse
00:20:59
and uh it have us customer group by like companies that to come out of investment
00:21:05
into nature's we have very interesting impact investment of funds in in in zurich engine e. that
00:21:11
um i we have a community that things about you know i it nature investment we
00:21:15
have supply chain companies of course being very big in in switzerland the commodity trading community if
00:21:21
um uh and you're gonna end and around here and that's something that we can offer solutions so it's more diverse
00:21:27
i'm over here in terms of uh groups and and it's probably varies
00:21:30
a great knowledge community that then that come out of sorts and okay
00:21:35
thank you a perspective from an entrepreneur ins or work um one of
00:21:40
the last things that i wanted to talk with all of you about is
00:21:43
is this this funding chasm that we sometimes see um you hear people announce
00:21:49
governments uh billionaires the the base those fond coming in uh with billions of dollars
00:21:55
and yet you saw the first one has an annual revenue of two hundred thousand euros
00:22:00
right there's a a pretty big disconnect in terms of of what some of those massive phones are gonna do
00:22:05
um and i wanted to close a little bit about this the ships
00:22:09
that we need to see in the investment and and funding landscape i'm i'm
00:22:14
i'm not sure if there's somebody that back to start uh to to close this out maybe jane you seem like you're a gene what what is
00:22:20
your what is your thought on on this this funding side of things
00:22:23
so staying on the topic of corporate soon we deal with a lot of
00:22:27
our clients are big big corporates in in as to what i described earlier
00:22:32
is that pressure from the employees and their customers to be seen doing more
00:22:37
they they need to be doing it seemed doing more outside of working with
00:22:40
others and so i think you you see more more of them looking for opportunities
00:22:45
to invest in partner with a entrepreneur hours in hell take some
00:22:50
of these good ideas and scaling it refusing to some good examples today
00:22:55
where the innovators have partnerships with other big corporate already i
00:22:59
think that that would just continue more more and i think
00:23:02
when the chips i think for innovators is don't underestimate
00:23:07
the the power of them wanting to promote themselves doing good
00:23:11
so hope by hoping you'll do well helps them do well in communicator doing well in and
00:23:18
there's a value in that you know wouldn't underestimate that and as a potential source of revenue
00:23:23
that's great zero on your side uh what what type of shift
00:23:27
you think is new for the funding the for interviewers like like
00:23:30
yourself um so what we experience there from seat as they're really
00:23:36
stick approaches sometimes and a lot of the fundraising is done and
00:23:40
evaluated by in silos so rather you focus and second economy or you focus on climate
00:23:46
um conservation are by a diversity or other topic so it is difficult for
00:23:52
as as avail in a holistic approach to actually get funding because some of the fans are
00:23:58
really topic related to so this the first impression
00:24:02
we have on on from our side um and
00:24:06
i think a it is important to really see
00:24:08
the impact behind combining all these different sustainable uh
00:24:13
topics because i think this is where we have the impact about the combination of all those elements
00:24:19
uh to provide really yeah it's changed uh also for uh as
00:24:24
well for the inhabitants for for entrepreneurs or otherwise it's really about ah
00:24:29
accepting that i each criteria has an impact on another and if you're
00:24:34
not addressing the whole set of it and we always lose one impact
00:24:40
lucy how do we convince more philanthropists o. or companies to make the
00:24:45
commitments like mark instills for stuff i'm not i think you know i
00:24:50
there is this emergency and i think the employer he's out those corporations needs also
00:24:56
to raise their voices they're corporation do not have a plan now to be net zero
00:25:02
to invest it between one three entries on to invest into
00:25:06
eco entrepreneur raise your voice it's super important we need to act
00:25:11
really now and down the opportunity to really bastille you innovation is actually now
00:25:19
what impact wrist so this is something i know you're really passionate about
00:25:24
you i'm gonna give you the final word and i know that uh
00:25:27
are beginning to have our organisers creep up behind me so we know we're we're close to the end of the session
00:25:33
but wrist so why is it so important that we close this gap so so very quickly from the offices
00:25:38
roughly represent one point five trillion in assets and broccoli this here sitting in switzerland and
00:25:44
and yet is not we barely scratching the surface of impact investing and
00:25:48
i would like to see us also addressing the investor community such we
00:25:52
as doing this fantastic initiative uh feet away for for water we should have
00:25:56
invest of water events and applying for investors and so forth and
00:26:00
another thing i one of quickly point out is the incentive stand
00:26:04
out the lines so we're still working on the model to twenty
00:26:07
which is fantastic for maximising the risk why don't we have to
00:26:11
twenty four impact measure your of incentives against the impact
00:26:15
is still on heard of hand uh and that thing
00:26:19
technology i was hoping five years ago that by twenty twenty two why walk in here and i could just
00:26:23
invest in all of these fantastic startups with vocalisation or blocked and or what have you and yet we have
00:26:30
whatever board tape your yacht club please guys gonna give us some time to build
00:26:35
peace talking is hasten model where we can actually support this company not just because
00:26:40
somebody offices but everybody with ten francs a hundred francs or ten million it should
00:26:44
not matter but this would be my wish list so uh going for like them
00:26:48
yeah well i'd like to think organisers for inviting us to be a part of this uh and we hope
00:26:53
that you've been uh both impress but also inspired by
00:26:57
