As part of the worldwide Impact Hub network, we pride ourselves on being a locally rooted, globally connected organisation building an active community and a centre for impact entrepreneurship in Berlin and around.

We’ve always been driven by the idea that the world’s greatest challenges will never be solved by one person or organisation alone – collaboration is key. And the past few years – especially the last year – taught us three more important lessons about the impact business we’re in. We’re taking these learnings seriously, and are building on them to gear up for our Next Big Steps. Read on to learn about our impact in 2020 and our plans for the future we want to build.
Our team members are experts in impact entrepreneurship and venture building, impact partnerships, community and ecosystem building as well as in our focus topics of Green Tech, Sustainable Food, Circular Economy and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. We have contributed to national and international business events and conferences and are available to speak at your stage as well.
