Welcome from our CEO
Welcome to NPC Ignites 2025 – my first ever! It is brilliant to have so many of you here, from funders, innovators and practitioners, to policymakers, researchers, all of you, changemakers.
Why are we here? We are here because we believe in the power of possibility. Because we know that the work being done across the impact economy is extraordinary.
We are here because each of us carries insights, experiences, and stories that, when shared, can spark new ideas, ignite new collaborations, and strengthen the whole community. It’s a pleasure to have you here with us. I hope you find out something useful and meet a new friend. Welcome to Ignites 2025!
