Impact Startup Fest

Neither markets, nor NGOs, nor governments alone can solve the challenges we all are facing. So start cooperating and join Impact Startup Fest, the biggest impact event of Europe, with a mission to improve the world by connecting the right people.

In addition to the buzzing all-day program Impact Startup Fest is known for, this year’s edition will also feature a number of small and personal in-depth sessions. Here, you can work on a specific topic with the participants and have their full attention. We’re positive this will result in better matchmaking and leads! 

Impact Startup Fest  is hosted by Impact City and will take place at the Fokker Terminal in The Hague.

  • Discuss the urgency for ambidextrous organizations
  • Familiarize with the role of Innovation Drivers

Why innovation drivers?

Innovation drivers typically support individuals and teams in the execution of opportunity development and business modeling projects. Depending on the context they can do this as coaches, mentors or workshop facilitators. However, innovation drivers can fulfill many different roles.  They are vital ambassadors of the firm’s entrepreneurial culture and strategy. Through their actions, expertise and social networks, they also have a strong influence on the development of the organisation’s mindset and capability for growth. However, companies often fail to recognize the vital role of these laders, and therefore fail to develop and keep them.

ECE educates and supports innovation drivers with the Innovation Driver Certification Programme in which the skills and mindset to drive sustainable innovation excellence within your organization is the focus. As a certified Innovation Driver by Erasmus University Rotterdam you will be able to support and guide numerous internal and external stakeholders for the benefit of your organization’s competitiveness and growth.
