The Impact Revolution: From Sustainable Development Goals to Solutions
Glenn, Sir Ronald Cohen, Eugene Kendall, Bhaskar, Alex Wayne
Facing a $2.5 trillion annual financing gap and a global economic contraction caused by the pandemic, experts at this event proposed leveraging impact-weighted accounting and blended finance to mobilize the estimated $32 trillion in private capital required for the Sustainable Development Goals. Leaders including Sir Ronald Cohen and representatives from the Syngenta Foundation detailed strategies to quantify corporate social and environmental costs through Harvard Business School's Impact Weighted Accounts while scaling smallholder agriculture via the Agripreneur model and digital de-risking tools. The consensus emerged that governments must mandate impact transparency to bridge the financing divide, aligning the "triple helix" of risk, reward, and impact to transform profit and purpose from mutually exclusive goals into a unified growth engine.

Beyond Start-Up Nation: Israel's Growth Platform for Global Co-Innovation
Glenn, Orna Berry, Yossi Beinart, John Medved, Dr. Nora Yang, Professor Yoram Cohen
Israel is executing a strategic pivot from its historic "Startup Nation" model to a "Beyond Startup Nation" framework aimed at fostering mid-tier scale-ups and retaining industrial value through structural reforms by the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and influxes of private equity. This transition addresses a critical funding gap for companies valued between $50 million and $500 million by introducing equity crowdfunding platforms like OurCrowd and novel financing vehicles for translational medicine and cybersecurity infrastructure. By leveraging cross-border partnerships, particularly with California on water security and emerging markets, the ecosystem seeks to overcome premature exit trends and cultivate sustainable global enterprises rather than relying solely on acquisition-based exits.
