Globally connected, locally rooted

We are working on a new economy that is aware of the challenges of our time and actively working on solutions. Our goal is to create an inclusive and regenerative economy that puts people and the planet first. We inspire, connect and support people to develop and implement impact-oriented ideas. We are part of the growing global Impact Hub Network with 130+ Impact Hubs worldwide and over 320,000 members in 67 countries.

What we believe in

We need a new economic model

Economic systems fundamentally shape and influence our lives. While our economies are currently still largely driven by the pursuit of profit, we are convinced that this will change fundamentally in the coming years. An economy that puts people and the environment above mere financial gain is the future we are working towards and want to live in.

A bright future can be shaped

We are confronted with cross-system challenges and crises worldwide. We believe that positive change is possible through bold, proactive action. Because the future can be shaped: where people work together with confidence and courage to make the world a better place, real impact with unexpected power can be achieved.

Entrepreneurial action creates new impact

Social entrepreneurial thinking and action empowers people to become active and move from criticism to action. This results in concrete innovations that change living situations and industries. New realities and livelihoods grow out of the diversity of entrepreneurial approaches. They mean independence and empowerment for people with a wide variety of visions.

The economy must be shaped by everyone for everyone

Our economic systems have been controlled and influenced by a select few for too long. We are committed to ensuring that everyone can and should be able to help shape change. Regardless of origin, gender, sexuality, class, disability, religion and other factors. Only with an economic system that represents the full diversity of society and actively breaks down barriers can we talk about a truly fair and inclusive economy.

 

Community as the heart and soul

The major problems of our time cannot be solved alone. Where people come together and build relationships, the impact is multiplied and cooperation emerges. Here, committed people find a community that supports them.

Sustainable innovation is the driving force behind change

Innovation can take many forms. The innovations we want to support have one thing in common: their sincere desire to have a positive impact on the world. To achieve our goal of an impact-oriented economy and society, we support innovators who are driving forward sustainable innovations and business models.

Our findings:

Together with our strong community, we have already supported over 300 companies, start-ups, associations and projects in creating a positive impact for people and the environment. Here you can see our figures for 2024.

Consulting that works.

We work hand in hand with you to find tailor-made solutions for you and your company. Our strengths lie in thinking in open ecosystems, a collaborative approach and a sustainable commitment to people, their projects and ventures. We understand that every situation is unique, which is why we avoid standard consulting jargon. This is how we shape transformation and create real impact.
Let's find a solution
Since 2020, we have been working with the Impact Hub team as part of the Social Innovation Lab. Children, young people and families in Tyrol, as in the rest of Austria, are under increasing pressure. This makes it all the more important for committed individuals and organisations to join forces and address major social challenges in a broad coalition. We see social innovation, collaboration and the involvement of children and young people in the process as important building blocks in this endeavour.

Anyone who has already participated in the Impact Hub Tirol's entrepreneurial programmes knows why entrepreneurship and impact not only go together perfectly, but also belong together – and why this connection is the lasting and meaningful basis for a new economy.

Impact Hub Tirol supported us in developing our sustainability strategy with a wealth of knowledge, passion and expertise. From preparing the workshop days to the final presentation of the results, every step was very well planned and structured. We felt very comfortable and in good hands throughout the collaboration.
