Impact Report 2025

As we reflect on 2025, it has been a defining year for C3 - one where intention translated decisively into measurable impact. Across our programmes, partnerships, and platforms, we moved from building momentum to delivering outcomes, supporting founders and leaders to strengthen execution, embed sustainability into core business strategy, and scale with clarity and resilience.

Throughout the year, C3 deepened its focus on what works. We delivered flagship initiatives alongside partners including HSBC, Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA), Standard Chartered, DMCC, and Enersol, supporting ventures at different stages to strengthen governance, operations, and long-term value creation. Our hands-on approach combined workshops, expert mentorship, simulations, and tailored advisory to ensure learning translated into action.

With strong partnerships, growing thought leadership, and a clear ambition for the years ahead, C3 continues to act as a connector, catalyst, and trusted guide for companies committed to growing with purpose.
