On April 24th, the finals of Ideas from Europe 2018, will take place in the Knight’s Hall, The Hague. Twelve entrepreneurs from twelve different EU member states will climb the stage and present their solution, which contributes to solving global challenges, to a worldwide audience.

‘Collaborate for Impact’
Inspired by the ideas presented during the finals and the global challenges we face, The New World Campus (in cooperation with Ideas from Europe) organizes an interactive side-event from 9:30 till 17:30.

The event will bring together representatives from the Dutch government and experts on strategic and tactical level of various companies and organisations.

An important goal of the event is to discuss the constraints on all global challenges and focus specifically on 4 major challenges Health, Energy, Food & Water and the impact of Tech on these challenges.

Survey
In order to ensure that we can derive maximum return from the interaction during the interactive dialogue session, we have compiled a short survey to get a clear picture of the most important current questions and expectations as well as initial ideas and solutions.
Even if you cannot be present at the ‘Collaborate for Impact’ event, you can contribute to this online interaction. Everyone who contributes to the online survey receives the report with the results.

IDEAS FROM EUROPE
The twelve entrepreneurs were chosen during the semi-finals in Tallinn, Estonia at the SME Assembly in November 2017, in which all 28 member states participated.
Ideas from Europe facilitates the joint development of ideas with social and economic impact. Ideas from Europe believes that most solutions to our global challenges are already out there. The impact of the solutions strongly depend on the context in which they need to be scaled. This context is often complex and not transparent. In order to get a clear understanding of this context, an early engagement of stakeholders (e.g. citizens, start- and scale-ups, regulators, corporates and scientists) is essential. Their different perspectives on the ideas, the constraints and opportunities give valuable insights under which conditions ideas with social and economic impact can scale. By connecting stakeholders from various market levels and rally them around common goals, Ideas from Europe creates networks with shared purposes.

This event is organised by 'New World Campus' in cooperation with ‘Facilitating Company’ and ‘Atekeh Projects & Events’.
