Scale your business for a bigger impact
23 June 2016 - Rania Samara

You have ideas for a social enterprise, and the ambition to change things for the better. How far can you go with Impact Hub as your support? All the way from the idea stage to being an independent, multi-national organization.

Over 18 months ago, eight Impact Hubs across Europe and four visionary philanthropic foundations gave birth to IH Scaling, an international program that helps 100 social businesses scale their operations and impact during a year-long program.

During this year, a team of top mentors supports entrepreneurs to acquire the skills they need to successfully scale their enterprise and drive social innovation forward. Meanwhile, Impact Hubs also host webinars, conferences, and content on the scaling process for their members around the globe.
The final event of the 2015-2016 IH Scaling happened on June 14, in Milan, where Impact Hub communities from all over the world got together to discuss what they learned during their experience. The results couldn’t be better. In this,  its first year of operations, IH Scaling created over 3500 job and impacted 300,000 beneficiaries.

Applications for the next edition of IH Scaling begin in October 2016. Stay tuned and don’t miss the opportunity to grow your company’s impact. Scaling is funded by JP Morgan Foundation, Cariplo Foundation, Stavros Niarchos Foundation and CRT Foundation, and is an offshoot of the BENISI Project funded by the European Commission FP7.
