Many initiatives are already delivering results.
Institutional Season creates a shared framework that brings initiatives together and strengthens their impact over time.
Many initiatives
Plenty of relevant action already exists, but it often unfolds in separate frameworks.
Synergies to strengthen
Expertise, resources and networks could be pooled far more.
Impact to sustain
The results achieved must be able to last over time.
ExpSeasons Innovation Awards
The ExpSeasons Innovation Awards bring together companies, foundations, associations, experts, public institutions, international organisations and ambassadors around a shared ambition: collaborating to make impact last.
This inaugural edition focuses on three causes: Health, Education and Environment. One day, four moments: conference, expo, pitch and ceremony.
Shaping the future: collaborating to make impact last.

The stakeholders
Making impact last takes players with complementary roles.
- 01
Companies and foundations
They mobilise resources, fund initiatives and support their development over time.
- 02
Associations
Closest to communities, they identify needs and turn commitments into concrete action.
- 03
Experts and ambassadors
Experts bring their knowledge and methods. Ambassadors use their influence to raise public awareness of the causes.
- 04
Public institutions
They frame, coordinate and create the conditions for initiatives to take hold for the long term.
- 05
International organisations
They bring international expertise, resources and connections that help local projects scale up.
