Amsterdam Impact, an initiative by the City of Amsterdam, is here to strengthen the ecosystem for all companies that tackle societal challenges through entrepreneurship. We will guide you through the ecosystem, support you, and offer you the tools you need to make a bigger impact.
Coronavirus (COVID-19): Amsterdam Impact is supporting the impact entrepreneurship ecosystem during these difficult times. Find out how. Are you an impact entrepreneur with a question? Get in touch with our Ecosystem Liaison.
Amsterdam wants to become the number one city for impact entrepreneurship, which creates both financial and social value. From neighbourhood-rooted enterprises to large corporations - if you tackle societal challenges in an entrepreneurial way, you are in the right place. Startups, SMEs, large companies, financiers, civil servants, network organisations, knowledge institutes: these are just some of the players in Amsterdam’s growing impact entrepreneurship ecosystem. To develop an economy focused on the well-being of all, we need to work together and co-create innovative solutions. Learn more about our four-year programme, join our ecosystem for impact entrepreneurship, ‘buy social’ to support impact enterprises, and attend our impact events.
80 organisations, including the City of Amsterdam, have joined the City Deal Impact Entrepreneurship to strengthen the Dutch impact entrepreneurship ecosystem, and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and inclusive economy.
