Impact-driven business has witnessed a sea change since the last time SOCAP was held in 2019, including powerful success stories like unicorns Esusu and Butterfly. Meanwhile, the broader private sector is being called upon more than ever to take an active role in meeting the 21st century’s most pressing social and environmental challenges. As established players seek to incorporate impact into their business models, billions of dollars are flowing into ESG investments and impact venture capital.
