Can Doing Good Be Good Business?

02.06.2026 17:30 – 19:00

This event explores what it takes to build technology-enabled sustainable business models that deliver both financial return and social impact. Many of today’s most urgent challenges, such as access to healthcare, affordable insurance, resilient supply chains, financial inclusion, and last-mile connectivity, persist in contexts where traditional markets fail and viable business cases do not naturally emerge. In these settings, demand is fragmented, delivery costs are high, risks are difficult to assess, and the communities that would benefit most are often the hardest to reach.

Yet across sectors, organizations are finding new ways forward. By combining innovative partnerships, financing mechanisms, and the effective use of technology, they are creating models that can deliver both impact and long-term financial sustainability.

Drawing on cross-sector insights, the discussion will look at impact-driven initiatives can succeed commercially, when they struggle, and why. Through real-world examples, expert perspectives, and audience engagement, the session will explore how markets can be built, how innovation can improve viability, and what is needed to make solutions scalable and investable across sectors.

Bringing together voices from business, international organizations, academia, investors, and the innovation ecosystem, the event will also reflect on how models and learnings are transferable across sectors.
