    • Impact Summit Competition

      Are you changing the world for the better?

      The Impact Summit competition is a showcase for the world’s most promising purpose-led businesses - offering entrants a global platform to share their message and the opportunity to win prizes that will accelerate their business.

      The competition prize package includes a free place on the FutureX Silicon Valley Programme - which offers a cohort of rising purpose-driven entrepreneurs the opportunity to connect with leading industry figures and pitch to potential investors. Previous cohorts have met with executives from Airbnb, Facebook, SurveyMonkey, RocketSpace, Y Combinator, Waze, Threshold and more. Programme alumni have collectively raised over £40M in investment.

      The final of the competition takes place at Impact Summit 2021, where four finalists will pitch to our expert judging panel and event attendees, who will together choose the winner.
