Ours leaders of 2025

The 2025 edition tackles a fundamental issue: saving democracy. How can we protect it against contemporary threats? How can we reinvent it to make it more resilient, more inclusive, and stronger? Through high-level debates, inspiring discussions, and concrete solutions, we will explore the evolving dynamics of democracy and the role of innovators in shaping its future.

More than just a conference, IMPACT² is a catalyst for change—a place where ideas, commitments, and actions converge to build a sustainable and just future. Join us on May 15th at the Paris City Hall, and in the meantime, discover the 2025 pre-program!
