CREATIVE COLLISION 2021
SVIHK invites you to CREATIVE COLLISION 2021 on 18 November, our third interactive “non-conference” for business, civil society, public sector and social innovation leaders.
This year, we embrace the theme TOWARDS NET POSITIVE as we accelerate the transition, not just to net zero, but net positive impact. To the triple bottom line: profit, people, and planet. To Creating Shared Value.
The pandemic has brought new challenges and exposed underlying ones. With a focus on TOWARDS NET POSITIVE, we look with impatient optimism for Shared Value solutions to social and environmental issues including youth empowerment, mental well-being, inclusive value chains and climate action.
Under the banner of TOWARDS NET POSITIVE, we reconvene as a community of changemakers to do more than the bare minimum. To strive for more than net profit, or net impact: we strive for net positive.
Building on the successes of CREATIVE COLLISION 2019 & 2020, we will tackle 6 key Challenges of adopting Shared Value with new experiential formats and three tracks. Within social distancing guidelines, the event will be in person at Lai Chi Kok, hosted by mission-aligned Strategic Partner Explorium. Join us in a day of co-creation and check back here for more updates!
Designed unconventionally to break through 6 common challenges and build capacity for Creating Shared Value, this experiential day will enable you to deliver greater impact through new business ideas and uncommon connections.
