During the event, all participants take part in communication across different cities around the globe.

 

This year saw 57 cities in 25 countries jamming out 280 new sustainability models. Shanghai jammers from diverse professional backgrounds grew initial sparks of ideas to concrete concepts with feasible business models, and presented them to leading thinkers as mentors and jurors during and after the jam. Inspiring and guiding discussions on innovative sustainability were generated by invited opening speakers, investors and sponsors. All global results are posted on the global organizer’s website.
