On 25 May 2023, the Gandhi Centre once again held our successful 'Social Impact Day’, celebrating and discussing various elements of social impact.
We welcomed industry experts, investors, academics, and previous i2i finalists to discuss and explore how enterprise can have huge, positive social impact and address real global problems.
This year the theme of Social Impact Day was ‘AI for Society: A Problem or Solution', and within that theme we explored topics with a panel of amazing industry experts, researchers and policy makers.
Panel members included:
- Simone Ishikawa (Moderator) - Honorary Practice Fellow, GCII, Angel Investor & Advisor
- Tom Graham - Managing Director, Accenture
- Dr Catherine Mulligan - Fellow, World Economic Forum (WEF), Visiting Lecturer, Imperial College Business School
- David Farquharson - Founder, London Law Collective
- Sebastian Drave - Head of Customer Solutions and Innovation, Harbr
Shortlisted i2i teams also produced and showcased their plans to positively impact one million lives in front of guests and an expert judging panel.
This made for a very inspiring and engaging afternoon, and we’re all looking forward to seeing our shortlisted teams develop their ideas to positively impact ONE MILLION LIVES.
We'll soon announce plans for Social Impact Day 2025 - keep checking our website and social media channels for more details!
