Toniic's North American Regional Event: Impact at Scale


  • Skoll Foundation Palo Alto (map)

ONE WORLD is honored to co-create Impact at Scale - Toniic’s regional meeting in Silicon Valley. The program will enable the Toniic community to think innovatively about how to scale their work driving positive change.  We will explore the levers that power Silicon Valley’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, specifically innovation, technology, and networks and how they are combined in novel ways to create new companies and industries. Additionally, the program will include a slate of presentations from multiple impact funds and direct investments exemplifying these themes.
