The Unreasonable Impact World Forum is an annual gathering of growth-stage ventures tackling social and environmental challenges. This year, you can join from anywhere as we convene virtually to connect visionary entrepreneurs with mentors and investors who are driving meaningful change.
Each year, the World Forum connects mentors and investors with scale-ups who are solving the world's most pressing challenges profitably. Convened by Unreasonable Group and Barclays, the event brings together impact-focused growth-stage ventures with a diverse community of champions who will accelerate their growth through ideation and collaboration.
Unreasonable and Barclays will bring together visionary scale-ups, forward-looking investors, and thought leaders to enable solutions to the world's challenges around energy, education, healthcare and more.
This is where action speaks louder than words. While others meet on the global stage to talk about problems, the World Forum is where solutions are on show.
We look forward to welcoming you online to this impactful event.
