Conference on Sustainable Innovation - 2018
Partnership for
the UN Sustainable
Development Goals
# WHAT IS THE SDG CONFERENCE?
In January 2016, the Agenda 2030, signed by all 193 Member States of the United Nations, came into action. The Agenda considers all dimensions of sustainability - social, environmental and economic. It commits to 17 ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which governments, civil society and industry aim to achieve together in the coming 15 years.
In 2017 ESCP Berlin launched its first conference focused on the Agenda 2030. We feel that education, especially for future business leaders, is key to achieving these Global Goals. At the conference ESCP Master in Management students worked together with dedicated professionals from corporations, institutions, and civil societies to come up with creative solutions for global challenges. These challenges include climate, water and food crises, poverty, conflict and inequality.
Our 2018 conference connects future business leaders with representatives from the government, corporate and civil society sectors to come up with ideas and business innovations. Our goal is for our students to see how they can make an impact and to help the world achieve the UN SDGs.
# Conference Participants
We welcome stakeholders from the Political/Government, Business, and Civil Society spheres to work together on the Agenda 2030. Over 1,5 days we will share and discuss challenges from our unique perspectives. This will help us learn from each other, to expand our networks, and to develop new collaboration strategies.
Join us to share your projects and to generate new ideas in workshops and discussions. We encourage you to also contribute to a workshop or to participate in the workshop jury.
Key figures:
- 350+ ESCP students
- ESCP faculty members from various disciplines
- Students and faculty members from other universities
- 80+ experts from the corporate, political and NGO worlds
# Testimonials
"The conference is a great means to educate young talents in sustainability in innovative and practical ways. They get an immediate impression of challenges and successes, moreover they meet a lot of people working on the subject. For us, the conference is a great way to reflect on our sustainability activities, discuss with students and meet with other experts."
Axel Bachmann
General Manager of Sustainability, Coca Cola European Partners Deutschland
"The conference is an excellent occasion to bring people from business, academia and civil society organizations together. The direct exchange with students and business representatives in workshops on sustainability topics is very valuable to learn and to develop concepts together."
Florian Landorff
Head of Innovation, Welthungerhilfe
The aim of the 1,5 day conference is to introduce the SDGs and the Agenda 2030 as a framework for managers and entrepreneurs to transform existing business models and to come up with future-oriented business opportunities. Students experience the dimensions of the SDGs, reflect together with professionals for the different sectors, and come up with ideas to empower a precise goal in an existing business.
