The League of Intrapreneurs

Last week, we had the incredible opportunity to be part of Impact Week in Bilbao. Hosted by Impact Europe, this inspiring event focused on sparking conversations and driving positive change with a close lens on Impact Investing and Philanthropy. Our League of Intrapreneurs team delivered a fantastic workshop, THE POWER OF INTRAPRENEURSHIP FOR SOCIAL INNOVATION AND A REGENERATIVE ECONOMY, led by our CEO, Jolana Jamuna Amara, and Daniela Elster Rifo, Head of Community. They discussed the intrinsic power and importance of being able to imagine what sustainable and regenerative economy looks like. Can we really imagine it? Arguing, that similar to any inventor, we must be able to envision the world Sustainable Development Goals define. And the role intrapreneurship can play in bringing this to reality. We absolutely loved how Impact Week explored the journey from the chaos of today’s world to the light through bold action. Over the three days, we created a special Sanctuary within the event, offering a peaceful space for participants to connect and reflect on the insights and wisdom shared in the inspiring workshops and panel discussions. Looking forward to 2025 infused with hope, meaningful connections and renewed energy to innovate from within.

We were so grateful for the opportunity to gather with our community at Impact Week in Bilbao. As a global network, we savour every moment we are able to come together in person. Truly nourishing and fun. Cheers to our brave intrapreneurs. Åsa Skogström Feldt Jolana Jamuna Amara Seed Capital Bizkaia Nilufer Aktaş Maysoun Douas Maadi Daniela Elster Rifo Jen Katan 

Social Intrapreneurship and The City of Leipzig. We just wrapped an inspiring two-day workshop in Leipzig, where courageous steps were taken to embed intrapreneurship into the city’s leadership structures. Together with employees from various departments of the City’s infrastructure, we explored the foundations of intrapreneurship, and brought emerging ideas to life through our dynamic case clinics. Deepening their potential to create meaningful impact for the City of Leipzig’s citizens. A huge congratulations to everyone who contributed their incredible energy, openness, and creativity to bring this workshop to life.

Emotional, social, and cultural factors, along with psychological and cognitive tendencies, play significant roles in our decision-making. This is not to say that facts and reason do not matter; rather, stories often do much of the heavy lifting at first. At the League, we strongly believe that stories are very powerful and they can either reinforce our current perspectives or possess the transformative potential to change them. In this article, we explore how to navigate our own narrative and discover whether crafting a new one better aligns with our aspirations. Read the full magazine here: https://bit.ly/4gM1kCg
