Impact Day - The 1st Sustainability Conference of HHL

On the 13th of October 2023 Impact Day took place, the first-ever event dedicated to sustainability. We dived deep into sustainable practices from different perspectives and industries, understood system thinking holistically, and mapped out strategies for a resilient tomorrow.

What did the audience gain from the event?

  • Engaged with leading experts such as Prof. Dr. Manfred Kirchgeorg, Eugene Karl Montoya, Dr. Maria Nieswand, Caroline Grosch, Vassilis Agouridas, Fabio Diaz, and others, as they unpack the multifaceted topic of sustainability.
  • Rich insights and discussions on impact investments, ESG EU laws, Urban Mobility, and more will take center stage.
  • Was a part of an invigorating panel discussion, exploring collaborative methods to instigate system changes for a sustainable future.
  • A chance to network, providing an opportunity to converse with speakers, participants, and organizers over drinks.

This event aimed to foster sustainability awareness within the HHL Community and Leipzig, bridging Research, Institutes, Corporations, and Startups for systemic thinking and collaboration.
