Do you have a startup idea that can change the world? Sometimes startups are born to solve a problem, maybe it's in their giveback model, perhaps it's just how the company chooses to operate. There is no shortage of problems facing humanity, but there is a shortage of passionate and ambitious founders and startup leaders working to solve them. More than ever before, entrepreneurs can leverage technology to truly change the world. On this live interactive event, hear from entrepreneurs making progress towards the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and maybe even learn how you can harness your own passion and ambition to do the same.
