ChangeNOW 2023: the largest event on solutions for the planet at the Grand Palais Éphémère

The ChangeNOW Summit 2023 will once again take place at the Grand Palais Éphémère on Thursday 25, Friday 26 and Saturday 27 May. Like an event like VivaTech for technological innovation, this summit aims to connect all the actors of innovation (entrepreneurs, business leaders and policy makers) for the planet in one place. And good news, since it's taking place in our beautiful city of Paris!

This year, the ChangeNOW team hopes to do as well or even better than the previous editions, by proposing 1,000 concrete actions for the planet, inviting 400 speakers from 120 different countries and welcoming 1,200 investors.

The goal? To make Paris the world capital of innovations for the planet. For three days, the heart of the City of Light will be alive with conferences, pitch sessions, networking events and other exhibition spaces focusing on concrete solutions to be implemented today.

This spring, the ChangeNOW summit will welcome economist Kate Raworth, lawyer Marine Calmet, activist Adenike Oladosu, skipper François Gabart, as well as Matthieu Ricard, Rob Hopkins and Zaya to the Grand Palais Ephémère.

Designed in the image of the old World Fairs, the event aims to present the"new generation" of climate change actors in order to connect them to investors, large groups or citizens.

Created in 2016 at the initiative of Santiago Lefebvre, Rose-May Lucotte and Kevin Tayebaly, the first editions of the ChangeNOW Summit were initially held within the walls of Station F, the largest startup campus located in the Halle Freyssinet. Then, in 2022, the event saw even bigger by changing location and taking over the Grand Palais Ephémère.

This spring, the ChangeNOW fair will return to the Grand Palais Ephémère for three new days of discussions on the main social and environmental innovations that have been devised to address the urgent need for climate change. This is the time to act to help companies accelerate the transition toa sustainable world with innovative solutions.
