Impact Entrepreneurship Forum 2024

Join an exclusive group of decision makers, corporates, NGOs, policymakers, and impact entrepreneurs – the changemakers collectively shaping the landscape of impact entrepreneurship in Germany – for a day full of impact.

About the forum

Welcome to the second Impact Entrepreneurship Forum by Impact Hub Berlin – a gathering meticulously designed to ignite collaboration & innovation.

You’ll find yourself among thought-leaders driving change at the nexus of business and sustainability. Engage in an invigorating programme that seamlessly blends inspiration with actionable insights. Rub shoulders with like-minded peers, glean wisdom from top-tier experts, and co-create with potential collaborators who can propel your sustainability efforts to new heights.

And the best part: this is invite only. So you know you are always in good company – the company of changemakers!

A certain willingness to take risks, that is derived from trust in society, that if we get together, we will succeed. That is what we urgently need, and that is what you all embody.
Robert Habeck, Vice-Chancellor, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action of the Federal Republic of Germany

Impact topics and agenda

Dive into our four focus topics – Green tech, Circular Economy, Sustainable Food, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Take part in engaging roundtable discussions and workshops, an Impact Ecosystem Spotlight (with pitches from the key impact ecosystem players of Berlin), a special keynote speech, impact success stories and live interviews, an impact entrepreneur showcase, a corporate innovator showcase, a stakeholder showcase, an industry spotlight, and a lightning talk.

And this is not all: enjoy lunch, coffee, and networking breaks, plus an exclusive tour of our circular coworking space.

My goal is for Impact Entrepreneurship to be the new Entrepreneurship, and for all startups to be impact startups in the future

A historical venue for a historical year.

In 2024 Impact Hub Berlin completes 10 years since it was founded!

It is only fitting that we celebrate this special year with you in our very neighbourhood, in the historical venue of KINDL Locations at KINDL - Centre of Contemporary Art, previously the famous Kindl Brewery.

The Kindl Area is home to a number of sustainable and socially oriented organisations. Check out the venue!
