Venture Capital (VC) acts as a catalyst and growth accelerator for innovation, especially in impact investing. Impact investing seeks to generate measurable social and environmental benefits alongside financial returns. For VCs dedicated to sustainability, investing in companies with circular economy business models is more than a financial decision — it’s a commitment to creating significant environmental impact.

Venture Capitals offer more than just capital; they bring insights, expertise, and strategic support to help startups grow faster and more efficiently. Impact investing seeks two objectives: to achieve the best possible financial returns and generate a positive impact on the planet. This event will explore how Venture Capital can drive innovation, foster sustainable development, and accelerate the growth of circular economy initiatives.

This event/webinar is an accelerator session at the World Circular Economy Forum 2025. WCEF2025 will gather forward-looking thinkers and doers and present the game-changers in the circular economy. The forum will be held from 13 to 16 May in São Paolo, Brazil. WCEF2025 is organised jointly by the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra, FIESP (Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo), CNI (Brazilian National Industry Confederation) and SENAI-SP (Brazilian National Industrial Learning Service), in close collaboration with international partner organisations. Free of charge, open to all online.
