Impact Hub partners with Postcode Lottery Netherlands to scale 1,000 inclusive & sustainable solutions worldwide

Our new partnership with Postcode Lottery Netherlands seeks to expand global impact by scaling 1,000 inclusive and sustainable solutions worldwide. Building on over two decades of experience, the collaboration will make its proven innovation-matching approach accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises, unlocking their potential as key drivers of the just and sustainable transition.

Impact Hub Network

The Impact Hub Association proudly announces a new strategic partnership with the Postcode Lottery Netherlands to accelerate the global scaling of inclusive and sustainable innovations.

This partnership marks an important milestone in Impact Hub’s mission to catalyse a just and sustainable world and will support the launch of a global initiative designed to scale 1,000 climate and social solutions by systematically matching proven innovators with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seeking sustainable transformation.

For over 20 years, Impact Hub has built and strengthened the world’s largest network dedicated to entrepreneurial communities for social and environmental impact. Today, the Impact Hub Network spans more than 120 locally rooted Hubs across nearly 70 countries, supporting over 15,000 impact-driven enterprises annually. Throughout this journey, one approach has consistently proven to be particularly effective: demand-driven scaling. By matching supply and demand – connecting proven solution providers with organisations actively seeking sustainable innovation – Impact Hub has enabled collaborations that contribute to emission and waste reduction, strengthen supply chains, and foster inclusive economic development.

Until now, this structured matchmaking model has primarily been accessible to large institutions and corporate partners. Through our partnership with the Postcode Lottery, Impact Hub will scale its proven methodology across the global Network and make it affordable and accessible to SMEs, the backbone of local economies, and a powerful yet underutilised lever for accelerating the just and sustainable transition. This is not about launching a new product; it is about scaling what works. For years, Impact Hub has successfully matched the supply of proven solutions with demand for sustainable and inclusive innovation. The partnership now enables the expansion of this approach at a greater scale and lower cost, unlocking broader participation.

The initiative is structured around three reinforcing pillars: facilitating high-value collaborations between SMEs and innovators; codifying and digitising the proven methodology to ensure quality, consistency, and scalability across Impact Hubs worldwide; and embedding impact measurement and storytelling into every collaboration to strengthen accountability and inspire further adoption.

The ultimate objective is measurable environmental impact combined with inclusive economic development at scale. SMEs will gain access to ready-to-implement innovations that enhance competitiveness while reducing their environmental footprint. Solution providers will access new markets, and communities will benefit from cleaner industries, more resilient supply chains, and expanded economic opportunity.

By building on two decades of experience across the Impact Hub Network, this partnership represents the next phase of growth, transforming a resource-intensive matchmaking approach into a scalable, affordable engine for accelerating the just and sustainable transition worldwide.

About the Postcode Lottery Netherlands

The Postcode Lottery Netherlands was established in 1989 to support charities working towards a fairer, healthier and greener world. The lottery raises funds for its charity partners and helps increase awareness of their work. More than 3 million participants take part in the Postcode Lottery. In the Postcode Lottery, your postcode is your ticket number. And that ticket sets something positive in motion. Each month, participants and their neighbours who also take part have the chance to win hundreds of thousands of prizes. At the same time, they support 150 charitable organisations, with at least 40% of every ticket going directly to good causes. That is the power of coming together – what we call The Power of Postcodes. Since its founding, the Postcode Lottery has donated more than €8.7 billion to people and nature.

The Postcode Lottery Netherlands is part of the Postcode Lottery Group, a social enterprise that has introduced the unique Postcode Lottery format in five European countries. Its purpose is to raise as much funding as possible for charities through its lotteries. The Postcode Lottery Group is the world’s largest private charitable donor. In 2025, it donated a record €1 billion to charities and cultural partners. The shares of the Postcode Lottery Group are 100% owned by a foundation.

Closing the coordination gap: A guide to systems change through ecosystem building

For leaders tired of pilots that don’t scale and partnerships that don’t stick. Your sustainability strategy isn’t failing because you’re doing too little. It’s failing because you’re doing it alone.

Impact Hub Network

Global team

Building sustainable, resilient, and future-ready economies has become one of the defining challenges of our time. Across industries and governments, ambition is high, capital is flowing, and commitments are multiplying.

Yet despite these investments, the outcomes tell a sobering story:

Only around 35%

of Sustainable Development Goals are currently on track, showing that ambition is outpacing coordinated implementation across countries and sectors.
🌐 ISDO The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2025

Only about 4%

of net-zero targets meet UN standards, and less than half of climate plans align with science-based pathways.
🌐 Axios/EY

More than 40%

of major companies, cities, and regions have no formal emissions targets, and fewer than 5% meet criteria for credible, actionable climate commitment. 🌐 Reuters

Across the globe, emission goals remain off track, innovations struggle to scale beyond pilot stage, and well-designed policies fail to translate into consistent, real-world outcomes. The gap between what is planned and what is delivered continues to widen.

The issue is not effort. It is how that effort is organised.

What the Coordination Gap looks like

In the quest for sustainable development, the only thing more dangerous than the absence of progress is the illusion of it.

— EY Enough Report

In complex systems, progress depends less on individual effort and more on how well efforts connect, reinforce one another, and evolve together. Too often, organisations pursue the same goals – but through disconnected strategies, timelines, and incentives.

The result? A persistent disconnect between intention and impact.

This is the coordination gap: the invisible drag on every sustainability commitment, innovation pipeline, and supply chain upgrade. It’s what happens when well-intentioned efforts collide rather than converge.

We see it everywhere:

1. Fragmented effort

Governments, corporates, NGOs, multilaterals, and industry bodies work on the same challenges but without shared roadmaps, metrics, or governance. Initiatives remain structurally weak, unable to scale.

2. Short-lived projects

Innovation pilots prove promising, but the conditions required to scale—regulation, infrastructure, investor readiness—simply aren’t in place. Organisations innovate repeatedly instead of scaling what already works.

3. Theory without traction

Policies and strategies are developed without incorporating lived realities, while practitioners lack channels to influence decision-making. Policies look strong on paper but falter in practice.

The instinctive response is often to do more. More projects, more innovation, more plans. But doing more is not the problem. Doing more in isolation is.

To address complex, systemic, challenges, from climate transition and circularity, to social inclusion and supply-chain resilience, the way institutions work together must fundamentally change.

This is where ecosystem building comes in.

How ecosystem building closes the coordination gap

Ecosystem building is the emergence of a new pattern of organisation or system structure.

— Anna Birney, School of System Change

Ecosystem building is both a mindset and a methodology. It is a strategic shift in the way we operate, achieve and scale global goals that reconfigures the underlying structures, relationships, and incentives within a system—whether that’s a supply chain, a policy arena, a city, or an innovation sector.

Rather than asking “what problem needs fixing?” ecosystem building asks: “what system needs to exist for solutions to scale?”

It works by creating the architecture of collaboration – the governance structures, shared agendas, and coordination among unlikely allies that allow for solutions to thrive. Issue-based ecosystem building closes the coordination gap not by adding another initiative, but by changing how initiatives relate to one another, one issue at a time.

Linear approach	Ecosystem building approach
Isolated projects run in parallel	Shared agendas align actors and sectors
One-off stakeholder engagement	Governance structures that sustain collaboration over time
Pilots that fail to scale	Interventions designed to reinforce one another
Policy disconnected from practice	Policy shaped with practitioners and implementers
Success measured by outputs, not change	Success measured at the system level.

When coordination replaces fragmentation, sustainability ceases to be a cost center and becomes an economic stabiliser – reinforcing social resilience and long-term stability.

Transforming cancer care in Cote d’Ivoire

🧩 Challenge

💡 Approach

✅ Outcome

A suite of innovations is now transforming cancer care in Côte d’Ivoire—including a platform for early triage of cancer signs, a telepathology solution powered by artificial intelligence, a blockchain-secured cancer fund, and standardised protocols for patient care. The solution, Innov'Keneya, was recognised with the "Africa CSR Health & Impact" award for its transformative impact on cancer care in Côte d'Ivoire.

What does this mean in practice?

For corporates

Clear entry points to contribute innovation, expertise, and investment within a coordinated health system.

For the public sector

Scalable healthcare solutions aligned with national priorities and grounded in real service delivery.

For entrepreneurs

Pathways to pilot, validate, and scale health innovations within an enabling ecosystem.

Systemic shift towards circular economy in Armenia

🧩 Challenge

💡 Approach

✅ Outcome

What does this mean in practice?

For corporates

Stronger circular supply chains and access to ecosystem-ready partners and solutions.

For the public sector

Policy coherence and public buy-in driven by coordinated action rather than isolated initiatives.

For entrepreneurs

Support beyond one-off programmes, with ecosystem conditions that enable long-term growth.

Accelerating Food System Transformation in Amsterdam

🧩 Challenge

💡 Approach

✅ Outcome

What does this mean in practice?

For corporates

Faster access to tested food innovations and reduced risk through ecosystem-backed scaling pathways.

For the public sector

Integrated food policies based and shaped with market actors and implementers.

For entrepreneurs

Direct access to buyers, infrastructure, and collaborative networks that accelerate growth.

Across contexts and sectors, Ecosystem building created operating environments that are more resilient and opportunity-rich. Rather than distributing value unevenly, coordination enables multi-directional returns – where corporates, governments, and entrepreneurs all benefit because the system itself is stronger.

From ambition to alignment

The coordination gap remains the invisible drag on every sustainability commitment, ambitious policy, innovation pipeline, and supply chain upgrade. Closing it isn’t optional. It is a prerequisite for meaningful and measurable impact.

The good news? You do not have to navigate complexity alone.

Impact Hub Network builds issue-based ecosystems capable of delivering lasting impact. With 120+ locations worldwide, we bring proven systems-change methodology, legitimacy across public, private, and civic sectors, and the tools needed to turn fragmentation into coordinated action.

We’ve learned that transformation doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from organising differently, so solutions don’t just launch, they scale.

If you’re leading efforts where fragmentation is the real enemy, let’s explore what coordinated action could unlock.

Scaling impact through entrepreneurship: Four insights for corporate accelerators

idelette.aucamp — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 10:52:54 +0000

Scaling impact through entrepreneurship: Four insights for corporate accelerators

Lessons from scaling the Bayer Foundation Women Entrepreneurs Award.

Impact Hub Network

Global team

Around the world, entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful levers for social and economic progress — yet the entrepreneurs with the greatest potential for impact often face the steepest barriers.

Women founders are a vivid example: they generate nearly 30% of global GDP but receive only a small fraction of available capital, even as evidence shows their ventures grow faster when properly supported. The global impact investing market is now valued at USD 1.57 trillion, signalling growing appetite for solutions that balance returns with responsibility. Yet access to opportunity remains deeply uneven.

🎥 Despite systemic barriers, founders keep building.

Play

This resilience points to what’s missing in environments designed to help high-potential founders truly scale. Corporate and philanthropic accelerators can play a pivotal role when they combine capital with mentorship, context-sensitive support and the strength of local and global ecosystems.

The sections below introduce four insights shaped by our work with the Bayer Foundation Women Entrepreneurs Award in 2024 and 2025. These lessons offer practical strategies for shifting more opportunity toward the entrepreneurs who can drive the greatest impact.

FOUR insights for designing corporate accelerator programmes that scale impact

Since 2024, Impact Hub Network has partnered with Bayer Foundation to design and scale the Bayer Foundation Women Entrepreneurs Award, a corporate accelerator programme supporting women entrepreneurs across the globe in healthcare and food security.

Here are four field-tested strategies for scaling corporate accelerator programmes that deliver measurable, lasting impact.

1. Embed in ecosystems. Don’t parachute in.

❌ DON’T: Drop into new markets to scout or deliver programmes without local context, then leave.
✅ DO: Partner with trusted local teams already embedded in entrepreneurial ecosystems.

How we do it:
Corporates often enter new markets with good intentions but limited context. Lasting change happens when you work with partners who understand the entrepreneurial terrain of a particular locale or region. This includes local governance, economies, community needs, nuances, and networks.

Accelerators gain relevance and traction when delivered through teams that are locally rooted and globally connected. These teams can identify relevant entrepreneurs, shape content to local realities and ensure outreach is both inclusive and effective, without the need for new infrastructure.

This grounded presence creates cultural fit, credibility, and momentum that external actors often cannot achieve on their own. Drawing on Impact Hub teams embedded in more than 120 cities worldwide allows partners like Bayer Foundation to activate this ecosystem intelligence wherever they aim to operate.

Impact results:

Bayer Foundation’s global mission, paired with Impact Hub teams embedded in 120+ cities, enabled targeted scouting in priority regions and surfaced founders global outreach alone would miss. Together, we achieved:

117 countries reached through global scouting
14 local events hosted by regional teams, engaging 1,600+ entrepreneurs
Programme content translated into 5 languages to ensure local relevance
13 regional partners activated across APAC, EMEA and LATAM
2,276 applications in 2024 — a 43% year-on-year increase

💡 Key takeaway: Lasting change requires local roots. Your reach multiplies when you work with partners who are already trusted on the ground.

2. Fund + Mentor + Connect. Don’t just write checks

❌ DON’T: Assume grants alone can build entrepreneur growth and resilience
✅ DO: Combine funding with mentorship, peer learning and visibility to strengthen the ecosystem.

How we do it:

Entrepreneurs, especially women and underrepresented founders, need more than capital to scale. They need trusted guidance, peer networks, and platforms that build confidence and open real opportunities. Effective accelerators combine financial support with structured learning and community support that meets founders where they are.

The Bayer Foundation accelerator went far beyond financial support — offering a structured six-month mentorship journey, access to a global alumni network, and extensive PR amplification across local and international platforms.

Programme support:

Each award winner received €25,000 in funding and joined a 6-month accelerator programme designed to unlock both business capacity and community strength. The programme included:

Learning: Five expert-led sessions on leadership, finance, partnerships, and growth, plus customised deep dives based on each founder’s needs.
1:1 Mentorship: 25 hours of tailored support delivered by Impact Hub teams across 9 countries.
Community building: Peer exchanges, regional networking, and alumni integration to build lasting relationships, not one-off interactions.
Global visibility: Storytelling, events, and PR support to amplify founders’ work and credibility.

Each cohort also meets in person to deepen connections and collaboration. In 2024, the 15 awardees gathered in Berlin for the Cohort Team Day, Award Ceremony and Social Innovation Days, a rare opportunity to share challenges, celebrate progress and build partnerships that continue well beyond the programme.

Impact results:

By pairing funding with mentorship, community and visibility, the programme unlocked measurable business growth and stronger entrepreneurial networks:

84% Average revenue increase across the cohort
222 Valuable new connections created
40 New business partnerships formed
5 Million people reached through PR and strategic storytelling

💡 Key takeaway: Financial capital is only as powerful as the ecosystem built around it.

3. Measure meaningful outcomes, not just activities

❌ DON’T: Count workshops or participants without tracking change.
✅ DO: Measure growth, livelihoods, and long-term ecosystem impact.

How we do it:

Many corporate accelerators still measure success through inputs such as the number of sessions delivered or entrepreneurs trained. These metrics show activity, not impact. To understand whether a programme is creating real value, measurement must focus on outcomes that reflect business performance, community benefit and sector-level change.

Impact Hub and Bayer Foundation co-created an outcomes-based measurement framework tracking revenue growth, job creation, income generation, and community well-being. These are metrics aligned with Bayer’s mission of advancing women-led healthcare and food security innovation. Together, we transformed data into proof of purpose.

Impact results:

By focusing on outcomes experienced by entrepreneurs and their communities, the the Bayer Foundation Women Entrepreneurs Award showed how innovation directly improved lives and strengthened local systems. In 2024-25, 15 entrepreneurs achieved:

3.68 million people accessed medical care and preventive services
650+ healthcare providers strengthened with new tools and skills
69,000+ smallholder farmers gained access to new markets
15,000+ tonnes of CO₂e emissions avoided or sequestered

💡 Key takeaway: Boards and investors care about outcomes, not activities. Measuring what truly changes creates credibility and drives better decisions.

4. Build communications into your impact strategy

❌DON’T: Treat PR as an afterthought once the program ends.
✅ DO: Use data-backed, community-led storytelling to build trust and scale impact.

How we do it:

Even the most transformative programmes can go unseen without stories that travel. Strategic storytelling turns isolated achievements into shared momentum.

Communications are most powerful when grounded in evidence and shaped with the communities they represent. Data-backed storytelling builds credibility. Community-led storytelling ensures authenticity, prevents greenwashing, and reflects lived realities. And amplification partners and PR strategies elevate to build visibility on a global scale. Together, they communicate real impact while building trust locally and globally.

For the Bayer Foundation, this meant collaborating with regional communicators, engaging local media, producing multilingual content, and equipping founders to tell their stories with confidence.

Impact results:

Embedding communications into the programme from the start strengthened both visibility and credibility. Localised storytelling helped build trust within communities while global amplification expanded recognition across regions.

5.6 million people reached in 2024 through a global storytelling campaign featuring 15 women innovators across international media and digital platforms.
3 regional communications agencies engaged in 2025 across Africa & the Middle East, Latin America and Asia-Pacific to lead locally grounded, multilingual storytelling.
40+ million people reached in 2025 (and counting) as the regionally led campaign continues to expand through local media and culturally relevant channels.

💡 Key takeaway: Global visibility builds authority, and locally grounded storytelling builds connection. When programmes combine both, they create the trust and momentum needed to scale impact.

Why locally embedded, globally connected accelerators work

When designed well, corporate accelerator programs are among the most effective vehicles for scalable impact. They:

Align business goals with social outcomes — embedding ESG into core strategy.
Accelerate innovation by sourcing real-world solutions from diverse entrepreneurs.
Strengthen brand credibility through measurable community impact.
Unlock new markets and partnerships grounded in local trust.

Through our partnership with Impact Hub, we connect entrepreneurs to resources and networks that help scale their impact. This strengthens locally driven responses to health and food challenges while building sustainable innovation.

— Chitkala Kalidas, Executive Director, Bayer Foundation

At Impact Hub Network, we’ve spent more than two decades building the connective tissue between corporations, public sector, and entrepreneurs. Our work has shown us that building a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem is a practice of trust, collaboration, and shared ambition that drives real and lasting change.

Our collaboration with Bayer Foundation is one of many examples of how corporations can transform their purpose into practice. Because when businesses invest in entrepreneurship, they don’t just create impact — they build resilience, relevance, and long-term value for people and the planet alike.

Ready to scale your purpose and performance?

If your team wants to harness entrepreneurship to scale both your business and your impact, we can help. Let’s design an accelerator that delivers real-world impact.

The Future of Impact Measurement: AI-powered innovation to listen at scale

al.siew — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 15:03:24 +0000

The future of impact measurement: AI-powered innovation to listen at scale

Social impact is facing a credibility crisis. Data is fragmented, self-reported, or unverifiable, which fuels impact washing and leaving decision-makers without the evidence they need to drive real progress. voices of impact (voi) is dedicated to changing that. By combining lived experiences with advanced AI, this EU-funded initiative transforms thousands of stakeholder voices into credible, evidence-based insights that decision-makers can trust.

Impact Hub Network

Global team

Across the world, organisations and initiatives are under growing pressure to prove their impact. Investors need credible data, companies need real insights, communities demand transparency, and policymakers need evidence that programmes truly work. Yet the most essential insights, the lived experiences of the people directly affected, often remain unheard.

Traditional impact reports are full of numbers but often miss the meaning behind them. Metrics capture scale, not depth. Surveys record inputs and outputs, not outcomes and experiences. Without authentic feedback from those whose lives are affected, the data driving decisions can be incomplete or misleading.

voices of impact bridges that gap by turning stakeholder voices into verified evidence that decision-makers can act on with confidence. It is about making social impact measurable, but also meaningful.

Innovations turning voices into verified evidence

Real progress begins when human experiences are transformed into knowledge that drives better decisions. voices of impact brings together advanced AI, academic research, market innovation, and a global network to turn those experiences into verified, actionable evidence that leaders can trust.

Developed through a European co-funded project led by leonardo. impact GmbH, in collaboration with the Technical University of Munich, Impact Hub Trento, and the Impact Hub Network, this initiative combines state-of-the-art science with the agility of a technology startup. Together, this consortium is creating new digital tools that move impact measurement beyond data collection toward deep understanding and real-world application.

AI-powered qualitative analysis: Using natural language processing, open-ended feedback and stories from stakeholders are analysed at scale to reveal patterns, emotions, and outcomes that numbers alone cannot capture.
Automated impact verification: Protect against impact washing and build trust with fully traceable, transparent and GDPR compliant data.

These innovations help organisations capture meaningful insights from lived experience, transforming feedback into reliable evidence for action.

A future where every voice counts

At its core, this project seeks to create a new standard for impact measurement that values listening as much as reporting. By elevating stakeholder input, it turns fragmented experiences into a shared evidence base.

By elevating stakeholder voices, it turns fragmented experiences into a shared evidence base for action. Whether you are an investor allocating capital, an enterprise reporting on results, or a policymaker designing new programmes, the project offers a path to understanding what truly works and why.

What’s next: Join the movement

We’re testing and developing new AI-powered features with partners across Europe. These pilots will explore how organisations can use stakeholder voices to make impact reporting more credible, efficient, and inclusive.

This next phase marks the beginning of a new standard in impact measurement, where listening at scale becomes the foundation for trust and transformation.

Sign up for Impact Hub’s newsletter for early access to updates, resources, and pilot invitations. Be among the first to see how AI-powered listening can reshape the way we understand and prove social impact.

About voices of impact

voices of impact (voi) uses advanced AI to turn thousands of stakeholder voices into verified evidence you can see in patterns, feel in stories and trust in data. This is the future of impact measurement, where every voice counts.

Funded by the European Union, voi is made possible through collaboration with leonardo, the Technical University of Munich, Impact Hub Trento and the global Impact Hub Network.

Marking a new chapter with gratitude for our Global Executive Director, Tatiana Glad

al.siew — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 07:33:10 +0000

Marking a new chapter with gratitude for our Global Executive Director, Tatiana Glad

We extend our deep gratitude to Tatiana Glad, whose visionary leadership has left a lasting mark on the Impact Hub Network. Since becoming Global Executive Director in 2022 — after more than a decade of stewardship at Impact Hub Amsterdam — Tatiana has guided our community with bold innovation, resilience, and a firm commitment to impact. Her leadership has helped strengthen today’s thriving Network, supporting over half a million Impact Makers worldwide and shaping our ecosystem into a more connected, resilient, and purpose-driven community.

Impact Hub Network

Global team

As Tatiana steps into a new chapter, her influence will continue to guide our journey as she joins the Impact Hub Global Advisory Board. Below, she reflects on her remarkable journey, the achievements we have made together, and her hopes for the future.

Dear friends, colleagues, and partners

“To fly as fast as thought, to anywhere that is, you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived.” – from Jonathan Livingstone Seagull

Twenty years ago, I “arrived” at the very first Impact Hub — a place where my values, vision, and impetus for a better world could take flight. From that moment, I’ve been on an extraordinary journey in the Impact Hub Network: from local founder to global board member, from community-builder to co-investor, and most recently as Global Executive Director. Reflecting on this voyage, I see how each step brought new learnings, enriching my experience and reinforcing my commitment to transformative change through entrepreneurship.

As we turn the page on 20 years since the first Impact Hub opened its doors in early 2005, and as I now move on from my role as Global Executive Director, I celebrate how – together – we have turned bold ideas into tangible impact, navigated crises with resilience, and proven the power of collaborative yet distributed leadership to create an infrastructure for systemic change. I’ve seen first-hand how locally rooted place-based innovation strengthened by global connections can drive adaptability and foster sustainable livelihoods — much like living systems thrive through diversity and interdependence.

In the past three years alone, we:

Expanded into new markets while revamping our growth approach toward regionally-driven, sustainable development.
Rebuilt organisational strength post-pandemic, with data-driven strategies and upskilling leaders across 100+ Impact Hubs in governance, business health, and communications through a peer and practice-based model.
Facilitated over 80 translocal collaborations annually and supported nearly over 10,000 entrepreneurs and innovators through our spaces, programmes and partners; our cumulative community now surpasses half a million.
Pioneered the Issue-based Ecosystems Building approach, a flagship methodology supporting the work of our Impact Hubs to catalyse systemic change in food, forests, and circular economy transitions.
Championed equity and climate action, launched an Inclusive Communications Guide, published resources for Indigenous and migrant entrepreneurs, and created a public impact stories repository. Check out our most recent Impact Report here!
Advanced sustainable procurement and supply chain innovation offerings with corporates, forging partnerships with Good Market and People Planet First to improve market access for social enterprises.
Scaled global visibility and influence, growing digital reach from thousands to hundreds of thousands, while positioning the network as a trusted policy advisor through EU GECES Expert Group, G20 Life Economies Report, and co-founding GALERI — amplifying the voices of impact entrepreneurs in shaping the future economy.

Leading this remarkable community has been the greatest honour of my professional life. None of our progress would have been possible without the unwavering dedication of our global team, the dreamers and doers in every Impact Hub, and the partners who have boosted our efforts. I am profoundly grateful to walk this path alongside such extraordinary colleagues: talented professionals, fearless provocateurs, and compassionate collaborators. Your commitment to the Impact Hub mission and to the communities you serve locally has been the heartbeat of this work.

Looking ahead, the world feels ever more complex — geopolitically, socially, and economically. Contraction is evident at every level, yet I believe more fiercely than ever in the power of enterprising minds and vibrant ecosystems to unlock possibilities where others see only constraints. The next frontier will demand that we learn not just from markets or movements, but also from nature’s intelligence — systems that regenerate, adapt, and create abundance without waste. What if our economies could do the same? I am taking a short, focused sabbatical to attune deeply to the emerging shifts shaping our world and to explore the pivotal points for transformative change. In an age unsettled by division and despair, true progress demands more than denouncing injustice — it calls for fostering environments in which dignity, integrity, and healing can thrive. I will continue to carry our shared purpose forward as a member of the Impact Hub Global Advisory Board, and I look forward to connecting with those ready to push the boundaries of innovation, equity, and impact — and champion the entrepreneurs bringing us closer to a regenerative future.

And as our crazy beautiful network enters a new strategic cycle, this is also a moment of consolidation — to gather strength, root deeper, and ready ourselves to ride the next wave. As poet Rainer Maria Rilke invites us to ‘live the questions’, I encourage us to embrace uncertainty and experiment courageously: What bold contribution can each of us make today to shape the future we long for?

With heartfelt gratitude and steadfast resolve,
With Hub Love,

Tatiana Glad

Global team

In recent years, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria have gone from being a niche interest to a central pillar in shaping the future of business. Yet, for startups and small enterprises, particularly in the social economy, ESG integration often feels like an uphill battle. Complex reporting frameworks, resource constraints, and rapidly evolving regulatory landscapes pose real barriers.

The European Green at Heart (GaH) initiative, led by the Impact Hub Amsterdam, Madrid and VIenna with the support of Impact Hub Network and the municipalities of Amsterdam and Vienna, set out to bridge this gap. Its mission? To demonstrate that startups and social SMEs can not only be part of the green transition — but leaders in it, provided they are equipped with the right tools, training, and financial incentives.

This article outlines policy recommendations to encourage the uptake of ESG measurement tools among SMEs and reflects on broader learnings from the Green at Heart programme, which engaged over 180 enterprises across Europe. Read more about the project and process in our previous articles.

Key policy recommendations

Position ESG as a value driver

ESG should be seen as a source of competitiveness, innovation, and resilience — not just compliance. GaH showed SMEs improved sustainability scores by 34% when supported with practical guidance.

Green at Heart showed me that even the smallest company can be part of the sustainability movement. It’s about starting where you are… and discovering what fits your business.

Kersti Evelina Lundqvist, The Good Tribe (Austria)

Provide SME-friendly tools

Most ESG frameworks are built for large companies. SMEs need simple, actionable, and localised tools. Funding for open-access toolkits and co-designed solutions is essential.

The tools are easy to understand, applicable to small business realities, and make ESG feel doable rather than overwhelming.

Participant feedback, Impact Hub Amsterdam

Build local support ecosystems

Digital tools alone aren’t enough. Peer learning, coaching, and municipal support accelerated uptake in GaH. Local hubs and municipalities should act as multipliers of ESG knowledge.

We see ESG as a way to make sustainability more tangible and embed it more integrally in society… Supporting SMEs is essential, since they often lack the resources to handle regulatory pressure and market demands on their own.

Linea Bingel, City of Amsterdam

Offer micro-grants and financial incentives

Even small grants (e.g., €8,000 in GaH) enabled SMEs to implement energy-saving and circular solutions. Policies should include micro-grant schemes, tax credits, and results-based financing.

Ensure visibility and coordination

SMEs need clarity, not scattered resources. National and EU-level one-stop platforms should integrate tools, funding, and training.

Balance regulation with SME realities

SMEs face increasing ESG reporting demands under the CSRD. Proportionate templates, onboarding pathways, and ongoing monitoring are vital.

Some sections of current ESG tools reflect regulations that are not tailored to the realities of SMEs. Without support, they may be impossible to complete.

Green at Heart Policy Paper

Broader learnings from Green at Heart

The GaH initiative demonstrated that transformation is possible — even for the smallest enterprises. When SMEs received the right combination of tools, training, peer exchange, and micro-funding, the sustainability needle moved — both in terms of mindset and action.

ESG is a journey, not a checklist. What matters is starting, iterating, and learning.
Peer exchange reduces fear. Seeing other small companies succeed inspires action.
Impact is not defined by team size, but by intention. SMEs can lead.

From Amsterdam’s role as an ESG testbed to Vienna and Madrid’s policy dialogues, GaH proved that cities, innovation hubs, and public institutions can work together at national level and across Europe, to support business transformation at scale.

Green at Heart helped us transform ESG from a reporting exercise into a source of strategic insight. It enables us to act with clarity and confidence.”

Tom de Pele, Kacau (Portugal)

SMEs and startups will play a crucial role in the green transition. But they cannot be expected to navigate this journey alone. If Europe is serious about embedding ESG into its entrepreneurial fabric, it must meet SMEs where they are — and provide the infrastructure, incentives, and inspiration to help them move forward.

The Green at Heart project has shown the way. It’s now time to scale its insights into policy, funding programmes, and ecosystem design.

Closing the coordination gap: A guide to systems change through ecosystem building

Four new Community Partners join the Impact Hub Network

The EU Cluster: collaboration as a competitive advantage

The EU Cluster: collaboration as a competitive advantage

Amidst political turbulence across the EU, the Impact Hub Network’s EU Cluster stands as a beacon of collaboration, proving that a coordinated Network can be both a driver of social innovation and a lifeline for mission-driven organisations.

Impact Hub Network

Alberto Masetti-Zannini

While the European Union faces political and economic headwinds, a quiet but powerful force is reshaping its social economy: collaboration. In this complex landscape, the ability to work together is not just an advantage; it is a necessity for scaling solutions to the pressing challenges of our time.

That is where the EU Cluster comes in. The Cluster is the Network’s coordination platform for engaging with EU projects. It brokers EU funding opportunities, ensures Impact Hubs can collaborate rather than compete, and represents the Network in the EU. In practice, this entails sourcing and screening applications, matching Impact Hubs with opportunities, and supporting both the design and management of EU-funded projects. At its heart, the EU Cluster is both a bridge and a safeguard — a way to ensure that local entrepreneurial ecosystems gain access to European resources and that the Network speaks with one, coordinated voice.

In November 2024, the Impact Hub Network was granted a seat on GECES, the European Commission’s advisory group on the social economy and social entrepreneurship. This was a watershed moment for the Network, marking recognition at the highest policy level. More importantly, it was the culmination of years of groundwork by the EU Cluster and the Impact Hubs within it.

From supporting women and migrant entrepreneurs to investigating solutions to water scarcity in small islands, to scaling agritech solutions from Bucharest to Madrid, EU grants have both expanded and deepened the scope of the Impact Hub Network’s work. Behind each success lies the same mechanism: a coordinated system that enables Impact Hubs to act collectively, rather than as isolated actors.

The roots of this partnership trace back to 2011, when the European Commission, under President Barroso, first began championing social innovation. Inspired by thinkers such as Geoff Mulgan, the Commission sought authentic connections with entrepreneurs on the ground. The Impact Hub Network, with its deep reach into diverse ecosystems across member states, quickly emerged as the perfect partner.

The challenge, however, was scale. Impact Hubs are locally rooted and independently run; without coordination, they risked competing with one another. In 2016, the EU Cluster was formally established with dedicated leadership to bring structure, fairness, and strategy. This shift transformed a loose affiliation into a cohesive, high-performing entity; a structure that prioritised collaboration over competition and created a model of shared success.

Since then, under the stewardship of Marina Sarli, the Cluster has grown into one of the Network’s most successful initiatives. Her practical and inclusive leadership has ensured that opportunities are shared fairly and that larger, more experienced Impact Hubs are paired with newer ones. For many members, the EU Cluster has become one of the most tangible ways to experience the power of the Network, translating collaboration into shared opportunities and real outcomes.

The results speak for themselves. The Cluster’s average success rate for EU funding applications sits just under 20%, compared to the usual 3–5% for other applicants. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when physical spaces closed and revenues collapsed, these projects became a lifeline. EU-funded initiatives sustained Impact Hubs, unlocked new pathways of impact, and provided stability at a time of crisis. What began as an experiment proved its worth in adversity, becoming not just a coordination tool but a survival mechanism, and then a growth engine.

Today, the EU Cluster represents something larger than its original mandate. It is a model for how decentralised networks can organise themselves to achieve collective influence without losing their local soul. It enables trans-local learning, policy influence, and business development that no single Hub could achieve alone. As Hermes Arriaga Sierra, founder of Impact Hub Zagreb and EU Cluster host, notes: “The EU Cluster’s successful coordination and representation role has strengthened the position of our Network within the European Commission and among key partner organisations across Europe.”

For members outside Europe, the Cluster has also become a vital gateway. As Martin Kalungu-Banda, co-founder of Impact Hub Lusaka, explains: “The EU Cluster gives us eyes across Europe, opening doors to new opportunities and partnerships. It sharpens our ability to develop strong applications and accelerates learning with its rich database of successful projects. Above all, it shows what true collaboration looks like, making work lighter, more manageable, and even joyful, even when time is tight.”

The time might be tight, but it is also right for the EU Cluster. What began as a peripheral experiment has become one of the most successful initiatives in the Network’s history, proving that with the right coordination, incentives, and shared values, collaboration can turn complexity into opportunity. The stage is set for the Cluster to deliver even greater impact in Europe and beyond.

We can work: driving disability inclusion and dignified work in Nigeria

We can work: driving disability inclusion and dignified work in Nigeria

In the vibrant city of Lagos, Impact Hub is shaping a future where young people with disabilities are no longer excluded from opportunities but recognised as innovators, leaders, and impact makers in Nigeria’s growth story.

Impact Hub Lagos

Across Africa, millions of young people with disabilities face extraordinary barriers to entering the workforce; not because they lack talent or ambition, but because systems have not been designed with them in mind. Yet when given the right opportunities, these young people consistently prove they can thrive as entrepreneurs, employees, and advocates.

In 2024, Impact Hub Lagos joined We Can Work as Nigeria’s entrepreneurship support organisation, taking on the mission of equipping young persons with disabilities with the skills, confidence, and opportunities to access dignified and fulfilling work. Spearheaded by Light for the World in partnership with the African Disability Forum and funded by the Mastercard Foundation, the initiative is active in seven African countries: Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, and Uganda, with the ambitious goal of enabling one million young people with disabilities to access dignified work by 2030.

At Impact Hub Lagos, the focus has been on guiding participants through Core Life Skills training, entrepreneurship development, and employability support. Participants also receive milestone-based seed funding and business registration support; tangible resources that help turn skills into sustainable livelihoods.

For Impact Hub Lagos, this work is about more than training. It is about transforming systems and shifting perceptions, ensuring that young people with disabilities are not left on the margins but placed at the centre of Africa’s growth story.

Seeds of impact, stories of change

In its first year in Nigeria, We Can Work supported around 100 young people with disabilities across Lagos, the nation’s bustling economic capital, and Abuja, its political capital. The outcomes reveal both the scale and depth of change, best illustrated through the participants’ own journeys.

Joy Akinsogba, a young woman with albinism, is one of the ten percent(10%) of beneficiaries who became Disability Inclusion Facilitators. She now advocates for inclusion within organisations and government structures, while also supporting the second year of programme implementation at Impact Hub Lagos. Joy’s journey demonstrates how an opportunity can create multipliers of impact; one empowered individual becomes a catalyst for many.

Entrepreneurship has been another powerful pathway. Sixty-five percent (65%) of participants successfully launched or scaled small businesses; a figure embodied by Ayoade Olalekan, a visually impaired entrepreneur. With seed funding and training from the programme, he expanded his smoothie business and has since begun training other young people with disabilities in his community. His story illustrates how entrepreneurship can spark both independence and the ripple effects of empowerment.

Other participants also broke new ground. Around twenty percent (20%) transitioned into internships or formal jobs, showing the growing potential of inclusive hiring practices. Meanwhile, five percent (5%) engaged in advocacy campaigns, raising awareness and influencing conversations on workplace equity and disability rights.

These figures are not just metrics; they represent lives changed and systems challenged. Together, they show how with the proper support, young people with disabilities are rewriting the story of work and inclusion in Nigeria.

Changing systems and mindsets

Impact Hub Lagos, through the We Can Work programme, is not only preparing young people with disabilities for opportunities; it is reshaping the systems around them. Employers, governments, and institutions are challenged to rethink what disability inclusion looks like and to open pathways that have long been closed.

As Ambrose Murangira, Technical Director for Disability Inclusion at Light for the World, explains: “The We Can Work programme is a response to the commonly asked question by employers: can persons with disabilities work? We say, ‘Yes, We Can Work.’ The ‘We’ are the young persons with disabilities who will drive the initiative, supporting mainstream organisations, companies, and governments in becoming disability inclusive.”

This vision is already taking root in Nigeria. Beneficiaries are not only entering jobs or launching businesses, but also stepping forward as facilitators and advocates, proving that inclusion is not a favour; it is a force for systemic change.

In Lagos, a city defined by energy, ambition, and resilience, Impact Hub is helping to rewrite the story of disability and work. We Can Work is more than a programme; it is a movement that challenges exclusion, spotlights talent, and builds bridges to opportunity.

In 2025, as the initiative entered its second year in Nigeria, the message was clear. Young people with disabilities are not waiting to be included; they are driving inclusion themselves. And with the right platforms and partnerships, their impact will ripple across Nigeria, across Africa, and beyond.

Yes, We Can Work.

The future of coworking: place-based innovation for systemic change

The future of coworking: place-based innovation for systemic change

The Impact Hub Network is redefining coworking as place-based innovation, transforming shared spaces into ecosystems of belonging where purpose-driven communities come together to tackle the greatest challenges of our time.

Impact Hub Network

Global team

The global workspace has undergone a profound transformation. What was once seen as a niche for freelancers is now a core component of how we define work, community, and innovation. At the heart of this shift lies a crucial question: what is the true purpose of a physical workspace in a world that is increasingly digital and remote?

At Impact Hub, we believe the answer is clear: the future of co-working is about creating purpose-driven ecosystems. For two decades, we have been at the forefront of this evolution, designing hubs that blend a global Network with local action. This isn’t just about providing flexible infrastructure; it is about pioneering a new model where the physical space itself becomes a catalyst for profound, place-based innovation.

From third place to shared purpose

The pandemic solidified the professional “third place” as a necessity: a space bridging the gap between home and corporate headquarters. But for Impact Hub, the future of coworking goes far beyond desks, Wi-Fi, or even smart technologies. What sets our Hubs apart is the energy that comes from being together in one space, united by the biggest challenges of our time. Here, entrepreneurs and innovators don’t isolate behind headphones; they lean into collaboration, listen and learn from one another, and build on each other’s ideas. This shared vulnerability and humility create trust – the foundation for true co-creation.

Researchers of coworking culture note that what began as functional infrastructure is now shifting into something closer to a cultural practice: humans gathering with intention, bringing their identities, values, and hopes into the workspace. At Impact Hub, this anthropological dimension is alive – a hub is not only a workplace, but also a site of belonging, a ritual of coming together to act with purpose. In this sense, place-based innovation marks a profound evolution: coworking as a platform where humanity, community, and business converge to reimagine economies and design solutions for a better world.

The power of place-based innovation

While our Network spans the globe, our impact is deeply anchored in local realities. Each Impact Hub is a unique reflection of its community, acting as a meeting point where local issues gain global relevance.

Place-based innovation means designing solutions that are rooted in the specific assets, challenges, and culture of a place. Instead of importing generic models, it starts from the ground up – listening to communities, learning from local knowledge, and building collaborations across sectors that address systemic issues in context. It is an approach that sees the physical hub not just as an office, but as an ecosystem: a living infrastructure where entrepreneurs, institutions, and companies come together to create change that is both locally relevant and globally connected.

Vienna

In Vienna, for instance, Impact Hub has become a blueprint for specialised innovation. Its green-certified space hosts two flagship labs: the Climate Lab and the Future Health Lab. Here, leaders from energy, mobility, construction, and healthcare don’t just share a building, they co-create tangible solutions for climate resilience, chronic care, and health literacy. This hub demonstrates how intentional design transforms a physical space into a platform for tackling systemic challenges at their source.

Accra

In Accra, co-working is redefined through heritage and sustainability. Set within four beautifully restored colonial-era buildings, this Impact Hub blends history with forward vision. Powered by solar panels and featuring EV charging stations, it is home to the Net Zero Mobility Platform and the annual Race to Zero festival. These initiatives make clean transportation a lived experience, demonstrating how sustainable transformation can be authentically integrated into the cultural fabric of a community.

Monterrey

Impact Hub Monterrey tells a different story; one of resilience through community. Born in response to Mexico’s cartel crisis, the Hub first took root in the city’s historic Barrio Antiguo before expanding into a revitalised factory. By prioritising hospitality and creating a welcoming environment, it became a beacon of hope for entrepreneurs and Impact Makers. Here, a physical space has reclaimed and redefined a city’s narrative.

Jakarta

In Jakarta, Impact Hub operates at the intersection of sustainability and DEI. It connects corporates, entrepreneurs, and innovators through targeted programmes such as the SUPR Lab, which helps businesses build sustainable procurement systems, and the NISSIN palm oil project, which improves farmer livelihoods. With initiatives like the Bayer Women Entrepreneurs Programme, it uplifts women-led startups addressing food waste, water access, and assistive technology. This is not just coworking; it is a vital bridge that makes connections, driving systemic change across sectors.

These stories illustrate a fundamental truth: the most meaningful innovation is not simply about good ideas, but about the right places and the right people to bring them to life.

Impact Hub as cultural anchors

The evolution of co-working is no longer just about flexible infrastructure- it is about cultivating ecosystems where humanity and innovation meet. At Impact Hub, we see physical spaces as cultural anchors: places where belonging, shared purpose, and vulnerability create the conditions for collaboration that drives systemic change.

For us, coworking has always meant more than providing desks. It is about nurturing environments where entrepreneurs, companies, and institutions come together to experiment, listen, and build solutions for the greatest transitions of our time. The future of work will be defined not only by where we sit, but by how we gather- with intention, with community, and with a commitment to reimagining business as a force for good.

As we continue to lead at the intersection of place-based innovation and global connectivity, we invite the wider ecosystem to join us in shaping a future where every community has the space, culture, and infrastructure it needs to unlock its full potential.
