Impact Hub Slovenia supports startups on their path to scaling and investment with the Impact Next programme
- Impact Hub Slovenia
Ljubljana, 9 April 2026 – Impact Hub Slovenia is launching the Impact Next entrepreneurial programme, designed to support impact startups and organisations ready to scale. This one-month intensive programme is aimed at teams from the wider South-Eastern European region and Ukraine that have already validated their product or service and are preparing for their next stage of development – expansion, partnerships, and securing investment.
The programme is designed to be practical, intensive, and delivered in close collaboration with experts from the ecosystem. It takes place as a four-week intensive series of workshops and mentoring sessions led by experienced founders, investors, and growth experts. Throughout the programme, participants will develop their investment story, refine scaling strategies, strengthen their impact model, and prepare an investor-ready pitch.
The programme culminates in a final Demo Day at the end of May in Ljubljana, where selected teams will present their projects to investors, venture capital funds, and other key stakeholders. The event opens the door to concrete opportunities for funding, partnerships, and pilot projects.
Impact Next is part of a broader support pathway for entrepreneurs developed by Impact Hub Slovenia. This includes programmes ranging from early-stage ideation to scaling, such as Social Impact Award and Impact Launchpad, with Impact Next now representing the third phase focused on further growth and expansion.
Applications for the programme are open until 20. April 2026. The number of places is limited, and the programme is intended exclusively for teams with clear traction and strong scaling potential
