EWB Summit & Award 2023
Welcome to the 2023 edition of
Sustainable Entrepreneurship Day with the EWB Summit & Award.
Join us in celebrating sustainable entrepreneurship, this year focusing on showcasing people we feel embody the 2023 year theme of ROLE MODELS.
Donnie SC Lygonis, EWB Founder and Chairman, explains:
"Every year since we started the EWB Summit & Award in 2019 we have had a theme for our event. This years theme stems from the encounters we all have had with inspiring people in our lives, from when we were young and were mentored or guided, to when we might be seen as role models ourselves, whether we want it or not.
With this we want to emphasize the importance of role models and the possibilities they create by being authentic human beings and committed to doing the right thing in their everyday lives.
At this year's event, we hope to captivate and inspire you with talks, and have you meet individuals who embody the essence of role models, just like yourself.
For us, a role model doesn't have to be the super successful entrepreneur, since success in our eyes can be as modest yet profound as the right to be your authentic self and to contribute positively to your community—whether it's coaching a local soccer team, having a good job that you find stimulating or finding your unique creative outlet.
At EWB we aren't in the business of chasing unicorns, instead our mission is to nurture a wide variety of many companies. Instead of growing one unicorn, we want to grow thousands of oxen and workhorses, the bedrock and backbone of industry and society.
Our vision for 2030 is clear - 1000 healthy companies, each employing 100 people.
For that to become a reality we need healthier role models, people who are doing a good thing, founders of impact startups, the ones who care more about what they leave behind and what they can help create for the future.
That is also our inspiration for this year's theme and this years nominees to the EWB award, role models who show the way by being their authentic selves and contributing positively to society.
Please join us on November 17th to celebrate and shine the light on role models, current and future."
