2025 SB Impact Business Summit

Sustainable Change Alliance invites you to join us for the 2025 SB Impact Business Summit! The focus of our conference this year is the Urgent Relevance of Impactful Companies in the Current Environment. As public funding for science, healthcare, and sustainability continues to tighten, mission driven companies are stepping up—pushing forward essential innovations where traditional systems are pulling back. In this shifting landscape, private capital and values-aligned enterprises have an even greater role to play in delivering sustainable solutions for
our community and the world.

UCSB has been a unwavering source of innovative technology and entrepreneurial talent for dozens of local impact companies. Our keynote speaker, Dr. Rachel Segalman, UCSB Vice Chancellor for Research, will discuss the crucial importance of university research for our local economy and our nation. Our distinguished panel of impact company thought leaders will explore the consequences of recent funding cutbacks on impactful companies. To fully grasp the amazing opportunities represented by impactful companies, you will meet the founders and leaders of more than a dozen local Impact Ventures, all of which are using breakthrough technologies to improve the well-being of people and the planet.
