20th Annual Babson Sustainability & Energy Conference
Entrepreneurs
for Impact
"The entrepreneurs who turned sustainability challenges into scalable solutions."
BSEC Leadership Team 2025–2026
"This is where the next 20 years begins."
— BSEC 20th Annual Conference, April 2026
A milestone two decades in the making
In 2006, a vision was born at Babson College: to create a community where entrepreneurs could tackle the world's most pressing sustainability and energy challenges. Two decades later, Entrepreneurs for Impact brings that community back together.
Join students, alumni, founders, investors, and ecosystem partners for a day of bold ideas, high-impact networking, and honest conversations about building ventures that matter.
This isn't just another conference. It's a celebration of 20 years of student leadership, innovation, and the entrepreneurs who've turned sustainability challenges into scalable solutions — and a reunion of the founders, alumni, and partners who built this community from the ground up.
A full day of bold ideas
and real connections
Four tracks. One keynote. A showcase. An inaugural award. And the community that makes it all matter.
