Accelerating Impact: Annual Report 2024
As we reflect on 2024, it has been a year of significant growth, learning, and impact. C3 doubled the scale of its programmes, expanding support for startups, partners, and the wider entrepreneurial ecosystem. Since 2012, C3 has been building an impact platform that connects startups, corporates, governments, investors, and experts.
Beyond programme expansion, 2024 marked C3’s B Corp accreditation, reinforcing its commitment to purpose-driven business, and deepening its integration within the Global Ventures platform to further strengthen our alignment.
Looking ahead to 2025, C3 aims to scale its programmes into new geographies, expand partnerships, and continue to drive industry transformation. A key focus will be bridging the funding gap and market access, with plans to onboard new investors and experts to support startups.
With growing partnerships and a clear vision, C3 is ready to build on this momentum and drive even greater impact in the year ahead.
