TEMPLATE TALKING POINTS AND CORPORATE EVENT HOSTING SCRIPT

Good evening distinguished guests! Welcome to the 2024-2025 Innovate for Impact Corporate Innovation Summit on behalf of everyone at Wilson Enterprises. We are thrilled you could join us in person and virtually for this special event unveiling some groundbreaking solutions that are set to profoundly improve lives.

My name is Samantha, and I am honored to serve as your emcee and guide through tonight’s program of discussions, demonstrations and visionary presentations spotlighting sustainable technologies tackling society’s greatest challenges through the power of business.

We have an incredible program planned featuring preeminent social entrepreneurs alongside our own Wilson Labs research teams who will reveal how their efforts addressing climate resilience, equitable access to healthcare, and precision education are accelerated through unlikely yet inspired partnerships. Their collaborative models hold deep lessons for us all.

Furthermore, we are especially excited to announce the winners of Wilson Labs’ inaugural “Funding Futures Global Innovation Challenge” over dinner – 10 early-stage startups receiving seed funding and acceleration support to launch their planet-positive solutions further with Wilson Enterprises worldwide distribution capabilities scaling market adoption.

Between segments, we invite you to visit demo booths seeing selected Challenge finalist solutions in action. Our team looks forward to your feedback identifying which hold greatest promise for lives improved through rapid scale after hearing pitches this evening. Judges’ scores will be tallied to determine funding recipients!

It promises to be an incredible evening of exponential growth and inspiration. But first, an overview of our schedule… [reviews program segments, interactive elements if hybrid event, location of facilities etc.]. Please silence cell phones as we kick things off hearing from Wilson’s CEO, a long-time pioneer in corporate social responsibility who will frame the roadmap guiding tonight’s theme of innovating for good. Let’s give a warm welcome to Ms. Patel taking the main stage…
