The Good Entrepreneur Festival 2021
From February to March, 2021, we ran the Good Entrepreneur Festival online, to showcase and discuss how entrepreneurs can start businesses that can have positive social and environmental impact; taking care of people and the planet, as well as profit.
Every Tuesday from 2nd February we ran a seminar from 6.30pm to 7.30pm, with brilliant social entrepreneurs and experts, who shared stories and learnings, with plenty of Q&A time. The festival culminated in the annual Pitch for Good awards for City, University of London students, where £2,000 was up for grabs, to help fund their startup ideas that positively benefited people or the planet. Check out the winners here.
