Impact Hub Amsterdam activates next level impact
As Impact Hub Amsterdam turns 12, we’ve decided to make some changes to unleash its higher potential. Our vision, when we started in 2008, was ambitious: a radically better world. In 2020 we take a stand for a fully green and inclusive economy, and draw from our long-standing work with innovators to collectively pioneer change in the mainstream: Impact Hub Amsterdam’s new level of ambition is born.
