Impact Hubs are where change goes to work. Part innovation lab, part business incubator, and part community center, we offer our members a unique ecosystem of resources, inspiration, and collaboration opportunities to grow impact. We believe a better world evolves through the combined accomplishments of creative, committed and compassionate individuals focused on a common purpose. Joining our diverse community of members and collaborators will inspire, connect, and enable you to develop your best work every step of the way.
Another world is happening and you’re invited to take part in it. What began as a single Hub in London in 2005 has evolved into a global network of people taking action towards a single purpose: impact. Step into any one of our Impact Hubs around the world and experience a unique combination of people, spaces and programs that inspire and empower people to realize enterprising ideas for sustainable impact. Although each local Impact Hub has their own unique community, Impact Makers from around the world come together on a global scale to share stories, aspirations, and accomplishments that celebrate our collective impact.
Our goal is to jointly create platforms and experiences that inspire, connect and enable individuals and institutions around the world to sustainably impact society. Through our direct and collaborative efforts we support journeys of impact on many different levels. A look at our 2012 assessment reveals that more than 400 new ventures have been started by members of Impact Hub while current initiatives have created more than 1,500 new jobs and generated solutions in the many diverse fields of their activity. Members felt inspired to take positive actions, connected to a supportive community and enabled in their own journey of creating positive impact.
Our journey to impact has only just begun. In order to further advance our impact efforts, we are currently taking a closer look at our Theory of Change, over the course of the next months we will continue to build our internal practices and further advance our close collaborations with and learning from leading sector partners. Please also stay tuned for a more detailed section on our impact, the lessons learned along the way, and new metrics identified in our upcoming annual assessment – and feel free to share your questions or ideas with us.
