“It’s not just about helping our partners and participants to create positive impact. We also work every day to better live our values as a team, whether through our working culture or climate commitments. One without the other is not how we roll.”
Héloïse Le Masne Impact Hub Berlin Team

A Global Network

From Accra to Amsterdam, Munich to Manila, Impact Hub has evolved into a rapidly expanding, diverse global network of over 25,000 members across 60+ countries. There are today seven Impact Hubs in Germany alone. Each community provides a wealth of innovative programmes, events, and cutting-edge content for changemakers. Step into any one of our Impact Hubs worldwide and immerse yourself in the local experience of a global movement.

Trends drive transformation and radical change. They are the undercurrents sweeping our work at Impact Hub Berlin and changemakers around the globe towards the future. Trends create new realities and knowledge of those trends can enable us to shape those realities. This is as true for sustainable food, as it is for circular economy, green tech or diversity, equity and inclusion — the other ecosystems that Impact Hub Berlin is helping to shape with our partners and ventures.
