We support young innovators in building social enterprises that address the most challenging issues of our time. We play, we experiment, we dream big, we work hard. We are 100% human and radically collaborative. We do so by hosting events and organizing workshops to raise awareness for social entrepreneurship, teaching the necessary skills to navigate from vague intentions to promising ventures, providing access to networks and promoting the best teams with the Social Impact Award.

Awareness
Aid the development of entrepreneurial skills through inspiration and exposure to the field
Over the year 2017, we supported 1.000+ young teams to create and implement innovative social business ideas. Our past impact survey shows that 60% of projects submitted have been implemented and 35% are generating revenues 2 years after taking part in SIA.
Education
Support participants to develop new social venture concepts
In spring 2017, we ran 220+ workshops & events for 6.000+ participants in 72 cities across 18 countries. In the future, new countries will join the program and further extend the reach our workshops have.
Community
Connect participants with an international community of entrepreneurs, peers and experts
Expert juries in each country evaluated ideas and gave feedback to all 791 applications submitted - because every idea counts! The best 172 venture teams took part in our summer incubation, where they brought their venture idea to live with our intense expert support.
Support
Support the best teams with financial capital and active support through-out the year.
At the end of summer, we promoted the best 55 ventures with the Social Impact Award along with seed funding of 100.000+ EUR in total. They all gathered in November in Belgrade for the SIA Summit 2017, a 3-days-bootcamp experience, to be ready to roll out their venture and create sustainable impact.
