We want to make a positive impact, to help pave the way to a better future. We want to make opportunities available to everyone, by creating an ecosystem that encourages collaboration. We value diversity in perspectives, knowledge and experience because we understand that the best way to solve complex challenges is by creating multi-faceted and innovative solutions. We inspire, connect and enable entrepreneurs and individuals to take on Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

At Impact Hub Yerevan, we believe that the world’s greatest challenges will never be solved by one person or organization alone. We need to work together. That’s why we set out to create a thriving innovation ecosystem where people collaborate across organizations, cultures and generations to solve the grand challenges of our time.

Our global community of over 16,000 members across 100 cities shares a vision of creating measurable positive impact at scale, in cooperation with partners and allied networks. We want to drive social change, helping members strike a balance between social responsibility and profitability. We offer members a space to learn, to work collectively as a community, as well as a platform for building a better world together. We are an accelerator for positive change.

Our mission is to create an environment for collaboration, growth and support by providing resources, networking opportunities, mentorship and education to help push our community of change-makers to build their ideas into innovative, profitable and impactful projects and enterprises. 

Embedded in Design Thinking, we foster collaboration, unlock creativity and create innovative solutions:

• Inspire: challenging the status quo is possible – we do it every day.
• Connect: accessing a professional ecosystem of change makers and curating interaction across silos.
• Enable: we disrupt mindsets, share expertise and the necessary tools to create a better future for all.
