    Global Week of Intrapreneurs

    Intrapreneurs do not wait for change to come from outside; they are changing the system from within. As employees in businesses and administrations, they address urgent challenges of our times and seek to achieve measurable results – in a variety of different fields such as the environment, human rights, education or health.

    Together with The League of Intrapreneurs, Singularity University, and the School for Social Entrepreneurs, we are hosting the Global Intrapreneur Week. This 5-day virtual conference will explore how employees around the world are applying entrepreneurial approaches to address the challenges posed by COVID and to create more equitable, inclusive and sustainable economies.

    Responsible Leaders Program – Virtual Opening

    At the BMW Foundation it is our mission to promote responsible leadership and inspire leaders worldwide to contribute to the United Nations 2030 Agenda. Together with a group of 40 carefully selected leaders from different regions and sectors we intend to build a contemplative and creative virtual space, where it is possible to make meaningful connections for our pursuit of a peaceful, just, and sustainable future. This Responsible Leaders Program is designed as a virtual journey and will run for a period of several months, concluding with an in-person gathering in Istanbul in early 2021.

    BMW Foundation European Table

    Collaborating for a Democratic Europe

    The coronavirus pandemic threatens to undermine European solidarity and unity, important pre-requisites for further integration and the development of a Europe for citizens. Now more than ever, it is essential to combine forces and build collaborations in the civic sector. To this end, the Responsible Leaders Table brings together like-minded non-state actors from across Europe for a digital leadership program guided by the theme of trust-building and bonding.

    The BMW Foundation promotes responsible leadership and inspires leaders worldwide to work towards a peaceful, just, and sustainable future in accordance with the United Nations 2030 Agenda. Rooted in Germany and active all over the world, the BMW Foundation is taking a clear stance for the principles and goals of a united, strong, and people-driven Europe. We share this vision with our partners Alliance4Europe, who promote active citizenship and democratic values by connecting activists across Europe, and Das Progressive Zentrum, who aims at strengthening democratic dialogue within Germany and across borders.
