We’re Building a Bold, Self-Sufficient Europe: Introducing the New Narrative of Impact Day 2025

In a world that feels increasingly unstable, Impact Day 2025 arrives with a message that’s sharper, more courageous, and more urgent than ever before:

We’re building a bold, self-sufficient Europe.

Over the years, Impact Day has grown to become the largest conference in the Baltics and Nordics focused on responsible business and prosperity. But this year, the tone has shifted. Not because we’ve lost hope, but because hope alone is no longer enough. 

Why the Shift?

The world around us has changed. Wars, energy crises, environmental tipping points, broken political alliances. And yet, also an explosion of innovation, collective resilience, and unprecedented collaboration across borders.

Europe is at a crossroads. And Impact Day 2025 is where we ask, and start to answer, the toughest questions:

  • How do we turn today’s security and energy crises into competitive advantages?
  • Can defense budgets drive innovation instead of just being a cost?
  • What does it take to build a resilient energy system that we fully control—without relying on imported fossil fuels?
  • Can we be both green and geopolitically strong?

We’ll explore these questions in depth through provocative panels on sectors like road construction and energy independence, and challenge industries that have long avoided scrutiny. A heated session will ask: Can road construction ever be sustainable? Meanwhile, others will unpack how AI can be harnessed to measure and accelerate sustainability goals, or how circular economies might reshape entire industries.

From Awareness to Action

This year, the message is clear:
Less red tape. More bold ideas. More courage.

We’re bringing together policymakers and pioneers – not just to talk, but to decide. Expect to hear from Gunter Pauli, the radical mind behind The Blue Economy, whose ideas have reshaped innovation policy worldwide. And from Seth Godin, whose clarity of thought on leadership, marketing, and human behavior will anchor one of our most anticipated keynotes to date.

We’ll also celebrate the messiness of real progress. Impact Fuck-Ups returns, where founders and leaders share the mistakes that taught them the most. Behind closed doors, our new Founder-Only Mastermind invites high-level entrepreneurs to challenge each other and shape the future they want to lead.

This Is Not Just a Conference

Impact Day 2025 is a strategic gathering of those who are building. It’s where regulators meet rebels, idealists meet economists, and creatives meet engineers.

If you’re tired of just talking and ready to move the needle, this is your room.
