ChangeNOW 2026 will transform Paris into a global hub for impact investment when it convenes at the Grand Palais from March 30 to April 1. In its ninth edition, the summit addresses a critical challenge in the industry: capital is moving but not fast enough or always to the right places. The event brings together founders, fund managers, and partners seeking solutions to this scale problem.

The gathering has evolved into a premier international forum for climate and social innovation. Last year's event attracted 40,000 participants from over 140 countries, including approximately 1,200 investors. This concentration of global impact stakeholders creates unique networking and deal-making opportunities that traditional online platforms cannot replicate.

For investors seeking high-impact opportunities, ChangeNOW offers direct access to vetted projects across developing markets. The physical gathering accelerates capital deployment by connecting decision-makers face-to-face, potentially unlocking billions in previously stalled investments. The Paris summit remains essential for impact capital seeking deployment channels.
