Inovar com todos, para todos.
Innovating with everyone, for everyone.
What drives IF'25?
We live in a time when growth is no longer measured only in scale, but in impact. a time when innovation must be more than disruptive; it must be fair, conscious and plural. That’s why we designed the 2025 edition of the Innovators Forum, powered by Sonae,with a clear and necessary focus:DE&I as a driver of development and innovation in companies. Because there is no future without inclusion. There is no sustainable strategy without equity. And there is no true innovation without diversity. In this edition of the Innovators Forum, we will bring together stakeholders, specialists, and enthusiasts who have proven in practice that integrating diverse voices and building safe environments is not just an ethical choice — it is a strategic decision. Because organizations that listen to more points of view innovate better, retain talent, anticipate risks, and connect more deeply with their clients and with the world. Join this movement that challenges the status quo and builds organizations that are more human, more creative, and more resilient.

Previous Editions
In it's second edition the Innovators Forum placed Circularity at the heart of the conversation.
Visionary innovators such as Gunter Pauli, Anders Ahlen, Ivone Bojoh took to the stage to share bold perspectives and transformative solutions. It became a space for inspiration and collective action, where we championed new approaches to regenerative design, business model innovation, and value chain transformation.
More than just a forum of ideas, we sparked a movement with real-world impact.
In first edition of the Innovators Forum focused on reimagining the Education of the future.
We welcomed innovator speakers such as Dr David Kellermann and Sugata Mitra, and hosted inspiring conversations that challenged conventional thinking. By driving a movement for transformation, we brought together thinkers, teachers, students, businesses, social investors, NGOs, and the public sector to explore this vital topic—with the goal of sparking actions that create meaningful, positive impact.
