Our mission
WE PROVIDE OUR MEMBERS WITH ACCESS TO:
→ mentors who can help them overcome business challenges;
By creating socially, environmentally, and financially sustainable businesses, we strive to shape a better environment for all people and the planet.
We collaborate with entrepreneurs, investors, organisations, and the public sector to connect people who are eager for change with those who can help them achieve it.
→ knowledge, experience, and resources of other entrepreneurs who have travelled a similar path;
→ mentors who can help them overcome business challenges;
Our success would not have been possible without the invaluable support of our four co-founders: the Institute for Health and Environment, Slovenian Youth Agency, No Excuse Slovenia, and the International Youth Health Organization.
Their dedication and hard work have enabled Impact Hub Slovenia to currently boast three offices in a prime location in the heart of Ljubljana and one location at the coast, in Koper. This brings us closer to achieving our mission of building a diverse community of individuals who share a common goal of making a positive impact on society and the planet.
