We're launching Impact Together!

Real change requires real efforts and extensive collaboration. That is why we are formally launching Impact Together! in Torino this year – our market building project in the MENA region.

This EU-funded project brings together changemakers from MENA’s most impactful organizations with some of Europe’s most seasoned players. A delegation of 100 people from this new project, as well as the existing Collaborate For Impact project, will be in Torino to help move the boundaries of the impact world.

The goal of Impact Together!? To drive impact further and wider by strengthening the MENA-impact ecosystem by:

Launching new impact funds and supporting existing ones
Building a large community of impact players and organizing meaningful exchanges
Introducing new stakeholders to the field
Enhancing policy dialogue
Amplifying impact stories from the region to Europe and beyond

Impact Together will be formally launched during the opening session on Thursday, at 9.30, on the Impact Together Stage.
