Forming multi-stakeholder collaborations is an important component to accomplishing bold goals for global progress, especially SDG #17, “Partnerships for the Goals.” Within these collaborations, impact entrepreneurs play an important role as catalysts of innovation and impact, establishing business models that exemplify long-term value for all stakeholders.  Top executives share what they’ve learned from impact entrepreneurs, and how they have worked across business, finance, government and civil society to address the world’s most pressing development challenges.

Entrepreneurs will share how they have successfully built companies that both responded to pressing global needs and created long-term value and will discuss how leaders can translate mission into long-term success.
