Impact Hub has more than 12 years of experience in co-creating, launching, and running online and on-location entrepreneurship training programs, coaching trajectories, and masterclasses. Together with your organisation we design tailored, modular programmes to boost impact solutions, including sustainable products, services, materials, and technologies.
We also help you test your innovations in real time, bring these to market, and set new standards in your sector – whether corporate, governmental or nonprofit.
DESIGN SESSIONS & WORKSHOPS
Define your impact challenge and goals | Whether your organisation wants to boost intrapreneurship, launch accelerators or source innovations, our design workshops help you identify pressing impact challenges, set clear goals, and build a strong foundation for your impact initiatives.
Impact Nation, an initiative we created with ABN AMRO and The Next Web, offers 100-day programmes to help companies with the practical side of making their business more sustainable. Before scouting for solutions, these programmes begin with a three-hour workshop to pinpoint a company’s most critical sustainability challenge.
HACKATHONS
Crowdsource fast and effective impact solutions | The path to solving impact and innovation challenges comes with its fair share of roadblocks. Overcome yours with our intensive hackathons, which help your organisation quickly develop innovative solutions to specific problems.
For instance, one of our clients wanted to incorporate small-scale suppliers into its logistics system and joined our two-day Fix Your Food hackathon to tackle this challenge with multidisciplinary teams of food professionals, designers, developers, and more.
VENTURE IDEATION & INCUBATION
Launch your impact innovation incubator | Is your organisation working on a new impact product, service or initiative? We will help you design, launch and run inhouse or external ideation and incubation programs. Ranging in length from one week to three months, our programmes offer a tailored mix of training, 1-on-1 coaching, and masterclasses.
ACCELERATORS
