Impact Hub Vienna
Vienna, Austria · Innovation HubImpact Hub Vienna is a leading center for social entrepreneurship and innovation, part of the global Impact Hub network that spans 100+ cities. Founded in 2010 in Vienna, it provides coworking space, incubation programs, and a vibrant community for startups addressing social and environmental challenges. Impact Hub Vienna runs several tailored acceleration initiatives – for example, RE:WIEN (supporting urban sustainability startups in partnership with the city) and Better Mobility Accelerator (for green mobility solutions). These programs typically offer mentorship, workshops, and occasionally grant funding or prize money to selected ventures. The Hub has a strong convening power: its corporate and NGO partners include Vienna’s public agencies, energy companies, and organizations like WWF. Startups to come out of Impact Hub Vienna’s ecosystem include Refugeeswork.at (job platform for refugees), Kiweno (at-home health tests), and EET (solar energy storage solutions). In addition to formal accelerators, Impact Hub offers its members year-round benefits – from “Connect” meetups to an Investor Circle that links impact startups with socially-minded investors. The facility itself, located centrally in Vienna, hosts numerous hackathons, pitch nights, and community events that cross-pollinate ideas between sectors. Uniquely, Impact Hub is structured as a social enterprise: it’s mission-driven to amplify impact, and revenue comes from memberships, partnerships, and consulting. Over the last decade, Impact Hub Vienna has supported hundreds of impact innovators. It emphasizes cross-border collaboration too – many ventures it accelerates tackle problems applicable across Central/Eastern Europe. For example, its “Climate Ventures” program (with Climate-KIC) has cohorts from multiple countries. By providing a nurturing home for impact startups, Impact Hub Vienna has solidified Vienna’s status as a hub for social innovation. It demonstrates that entrepreneurial solutions to societal issues – whether in climate, inclusion, or education – can be scaled successfully with the right support network.
