The theme of ImpactCity 2025 is
Under Pressure – Brace for Impact

Under pressure, new sparks can fly. Pressure tests what we’ve built and reveals what truly matters.

Ten years ago, ImpactFest was born from bold conviction.

Today, we find ourselves at a new crossroads. We are living in turbulent times.

The climate is heating up. Democracies are under pressure. Inequality persists.

The world feels uncertain — volatile even. And while breakthrough technologies, rising awareness, and a shift toward circularity offer real hope, they also demand clarity, courage, and direction. The next ten years will be decisive.

Will we scale solutions — or replicate the same old systems in new clothes?

Will we deepen impact — or dilute our values?

Will we lead with purpose — or let pressure push us off course?

ImpactFest 2025 is both a celebration and a reckoning.

A look back at a decade of building. And a collective moment to brace for impact.
