About PHINEO Startups
Transforming our economy
from cause to solution
Our economic system should be transformed from causing to solving many of these crises. We don’t need short-term profit maximisation at the expense of people and environment. We need sustainable business models that serve society in the long term and ensure our survival.
System change with
impact startups
Impact startups plays a key role in addressing the various, constantly changing crises and challenges we face in society. They addresses one or more UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) at the core of its business. This means: if you remove the impact you also remove the business.
