The 2025 Forum will explore a bold new vision: moving from impact to lasting prosperity.
Amid growing global challenges, it’s time to rethink how we define success. Deriving from the Swiss Impact and Prosperity Initiative, this year’s theme introduces a new paradigm for long-term success that will guide our Deep Dives, keynotes, and panels — and engage leaders from business, policy, academia, and civil society.
November 12, 2025 – Eventfabrik Bern
This Forum brings together business executives, sustainability experts, policymakers, academics, and entrepreneurs leveraging collective intelligence to further explore the shift from impact-driven focus to long-term prosperity. The programme is designed to foster collaboration, deepen resilience, and empower leaders to champion a new kind of prosperity, one that creates lasting value not just for business, but for society and the planet as a whole. Ready to redefine prosperity? Join us at the Forum to break silos, spark bold ideas and start building lasting impact, together.
1. How can we move from isolated actions to a shared direction and common language for sustainability in Switzerland?

The SWISS IMPACT FORUM is Switzerland’s leading event for businesses, thought leaders, and changemakers driving systemic transformation. More than a conference, it’s an interactive platform where 450+ participants collaborate, exchange ideas, and take action for a regenerative and inclusive economy.
From bold action plans to refining impact measurement and navigating regulations, the Forum connects the B Lab Ecosystem and beyond with top experts to turn sustainability challenges into opportunities.
The Swiss Impact Forum really creates a space where you can not only network and exchange ideas, but I find, especially in the breakout sessions, there’s really time to go properly into details and also take something away and bring it home.

It’s nice to see everyone get together once a year. We learn new things and meet new people, and it’s great to see that the old ones are still around and that we’re still working together to do good.

“You can talk with all sorts of people from different industries and learn from them. Otherwise, you’re always in your own bubble, and here you can get a bit of a different perspective and find out what other industries are doing to have a positive impact.”
