Opening and Closing Summit for Season 1
The structure of the Annual Summit will be carefully shaped based on the involvement of key partners and investors. The Summit will serve a dual purpose: it will mark the launch of the new Season of the Wolf Society Initiative, while also providing a platform for the winning teams to pitch their ideas and solutions to a broad audience, including investors and solution implementers (starting in 2026). Additionally, the Summit will serve as the official closing of the previous Season, featuring presentations of the results and outcomes achieved.
