HEC Global Impact Community : launch webinar!
Dear all,
Imagine being part of a global, English-speaking network of changemakers connected to HEC Paris — one where you can:
- Find peers and collaborators who speak the same impact language.
- Unlock resources, insights, and deal flow from across the world.
- Bridge the gap between regions and disciplines to scale your work.
That’s the vision behind the HEC Paris Global Impact Community — and we want you to help us build it.
This initiative will unite HEC Paris-connected professionals active in impact — alumni, certificate holders, professors, Station F innovators, Mercure Award honorees, and peers from HEC Paris campuses worldwide — in one global, English-speaking network.
Why? Because most of HEC Paris’s strongest networks today are France-focused and French-speaking. While powerful, they leave out a large portion of the community who are based outside France or operate primarily in English. This initiative intends to bridge that gap, creating a space where every member of the HEC Paris ecosystem, wherever they are, can connect meaningfully in English as a shared language.
Who we’re looking for:
- 🌍 Impact entrepreneurs scaling ventures with social or environmental missions
- 💸 Impact investors seeking deal flow, pipeline, or co-investors
- 🌱 Sustainability & CSR executives driving change from inside organizations
- 🏢 Intrapreneurs pushing transformation in large companies
- 🔄 Career shifters moving from corporate into purpose-driven work
- 🎓 Academics & policy shapers eager to translate ideas into action
- 📊 Consultants & advisors supporting sustainability journeys
What you’ll gain from this initiative and webinar:
✔ Access to a curated peer network of changemakers worldwide
✔ Opportunities to share deals, raise funds, and grow ideas
✔ Insights from peers tackling impact challenges across regions
✔ An opportunity to be one of our first co-founders and members so you can co-create this community with us
Who are we:
The HEC Global Impact Community was born from a shared vision among HEC Paris alumni and partners who believe business can — and should — be a force for good. What began as conversations between changemakers across continents has evolved into a collective effort to connect the global HEC ecosystem around sustainability, innovation, and impact.
Our founding circle brings together entrepreneurs, investors, educators, and advisors who are reimagining how business, policy, and finance can work together to create a more inclusive and regenerative economy.
With the support of Entrepreneurs HEC Club, Hub Entreprendre HEC, and HEC Transition, this initiative bridges the academic, entrepreneurial, and sustainability pillars of HEC Paris — creating a space where ideas, capital, and purpose meet to accelerate positive change worldwide.
Join one of our two launch webinars, and be part of shaping the future of impact within the HEC Paris ecosystem.
