We keep you in the loop about the entrepreneurs and investors tackling the planet’s biggest environmental and social challenges.
Impact Loop is the new go-to business news service for leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors in the European impact space. We spotlight companies that centre around the UN’s sustainable development goals, digging up the most important stories, interviewing game-changers, and analysing the latest trends.
Our quality daily journalism covers core impact sectors from energy and foodtech, to agritech, mobility and mental health care.
Founded in 2023 by Swedish media entrepreneur Camilla Bergman and team, Impact Loop already has a strong base and community in Sweden (here is our Swedish website). In December 2024, we launched this English news channel targeting European impact entrepreneurs and investors.
We pride ourselves on our independent, unbiased reporting. While we are passionate about companies that aim to make the world a better place, we don’t shy away from scrutinising their work, and whether or not they live up to their impact goals.
