Impact Hub is a leading global network for social and environmental innovation with locations in more than 100 cities and 60 countries. In Vienna, the community counts over 5,000 innovators, experts, and partners. We have grown into a truly cross-sectoral partnership builder, collaborating closely with over 100 partner organizations - corporates, civil society, science, the public sector and more. Our track record also shows our extensive experience in the field of public procurement and funding – both nationally and internationally – since we have participated very successfully in Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, and Interreg projects in the past. Impact Hub Vienna’s mission is to inspire, connect, and enable impact entrepreneurs while strengthening the ecosystems around them. We bring together people who drive social and environmental progress and to address the pressing issues of our times. Through tailored programs, a vibrant coworking space, a diverse community and cross-sectoral partnerships, we provide the resources, connections, and support needed to turn ideas into lasting impact. Since 2010, Impact Hub Vienna has supported the creation of over 1,080 startups, which have secured a total of €214 million in investments and created nearly 10,000 jobs. Impact Hub Vienna thus makes a measurable contribution to the economy, employment, and sustainability in Austria and is a key driver and connector in the local startup ecosystem. For 15 years, we have been bringing the impact ecosystem together at Austria’s largest impact event, Impact Days. With four locations (Impact Hub Vienna, Climate Lab, Future Health Lab, Education Lab) and over 4,000 m² of space - designed for productivity, creativity and exchange - Impact Hub Vienna is an active part of Vienna's innovation infrastructure.
