NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

Doing good has never been a bigger opportunity. The world is at an inflection point. The challenges we face – climate change, instability and polarization, broken systems, the looming threat of war – are massive.

These are no longer distant threats. These are our reality. But within these challenges and compounding crises lie even greater opportunities.

A generation of entrepreneurs and investors are proving that doing good isn’t just the right thing; it’s the smart thing. The winners of the next economy won’t just be measured on financial returns, but on how they regenerate, heal, and transform the way we live and work.

Impact/Week 2025 gathers the world’s boldest thinkers, builders, founders and funders to accelerate the shift toward a future optimized for both people and planet. It’s about a better, more hopeful vision for ourselves and for the world. It’s about turning hope into action by spotlighting the solutions that matter.

We need to be the people we’ve been waiting for. Impact/Week 2025. Be part of the solution.
