Bridging Gaps
Visionary thinkers, engineers and creative minds are tackling the problems on our planet every day. They are discovering materials made from algae, developing bionic prostheses and revolutionizing the way we move through cities. They are bringing change to our society.
But they still fail too often. Due to a lack of funds, networks and entrepreneurial knowledge. If these ideas then fizzle out, we lose great opportunities. How can this lack of innovation be prevented? How can sustainable ideas finally find a wider audience?

Impactful networking – on a global scale
GICA transforms impact stakeholders into key partnerships, from Berlin to New york
