Impact/Week 2026

Barcelona

Impact/Week
14-15 Oct, 2026 Norrsken House Barcelona

The world's hardest problems are also its biggest opportunities.

Most people see crises; climate, energy, broken systems, geopolitical instability; and look away. Some see the most important work of their generation. The next economy will be built by the founders who chose the hard problems, and the funders who had the conviction to back them early.

Impact/Week gathers the world's foremost founders, funders, thinkers and doers for a two-day conference dedicated to accelerating solutions for people and planet.

Let’s build what matters.
