About ChangeNOW

This is the story of an idea. The idea that a new generation of entrepreneurs, professionals, citizens, artists would find ways to respond to the major environmental and social challenges of the century.
We bring together the World’s most innovative minds and sustainability leaders invested in the deployment of solutions for the planet. Our mission: to help solutions scale and spread across industries and geographies.
Carried by a visionary, humanistic and action-oriented spirit, our adventure started in 2017, federating and creating opportunities for thousands of key actors of change ever since.

Impact Days 2025
2025-05-12 - 2025-05-13 | Vienna City Hall, Friedrich-Schmidt-Platz 1, 1010 Wien, Austria
The world’s challenges are too complex for single solutions. If money alone could fix things, we wouldn’t still be here. If policy alone could change the rules, they’d already be rewritten. And if startups meeting investors were enough, the future would already look different.
Impact happens when unlikely forces collide—entrepreneurs and investors fueling bold ideas, corporate innovators and leaders dismantling old systems, policymakers driving reform, and civil society ensuring progress serves everyone.
This isn’t just another gathering—it’s where new alliances form, new ideas take root, and the future starts to take shape.
