About the Program

Impact Hackathon is part of the Impact 2050™  which is an integrated and innovative multi-year entrepreneurial programme that aims to catalyze the impact entrepreneurship ecosystem in the Asia Pacific.
 
 

Why 2050?

Impact Hub Manila believes that for impact to be truly relevant, it must be founded on a well-informed understanding of the current global and local issues with a mindset for sustainability and scaling up. As the United Nations (UN) and world governments prepare for #Envision2030, the agenda set by the UN for countries to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) in the next 10 years. Impact Hub Manila is empowering their communities of global citizens, the youth, and entrepreneurial actors to work for a much farther horizon, 2050, and have more space and time to develop their outputs towards large global impact and more nuanced local rootedness and relevance.
