Ship2B Impact Forum 2026

13 OCT – World Trade Center Barcelona

Unlocking Systemic Impact:

Capital, Leadership & Technology

Over recent editions, the Ship2B Impact Forum has driven a shared journey to understand how the impact economy can better respond to major social and environmental challenges. After a decade of mobilising capital, talent and impact-driven solutions, in 2025 we took a further step: moving from individual impact to collective impact, focusing on the need to connect stakeholders, learnings and resources in order to generate deeper, longer-lasting transformations.

In 2026, we want to move forward into the next stage of this journey: Unlocking Systemic Impact: Capital, Leadership & Technology. This new edition will focus on how to unlock the necessary capital, activate new models of leadership and harness technology as an accelerator to drive projects and partnerships capable of generating systemic impact. Because today’s challenges require not only good solutions, but also the right conditions for them to scale, connect and transform the systems in which they operate.
