Social Impact Factory is the hotspot for social impact. From our locations in Amsterdam and Utrecht we aim to make social impact the new normal in our society. As a B Corp and SDG House, we connect stakeholders and help establish new initiatives and collaborations. Our members and partners find innovative solutions to social issues in a wide variety of ways. They prioritize their mission; making money isn't the primary goal, but a means to work on the world of tomorrow. We encourage collaborations and connections between government, businesses, professionals, and citizens to accelerate the movement toward a sustainable society. At our centrally located locations, we offer workspaces, meeting spaces, and event spaces for meaningful encounters. With our projects, inspirational sessions, and events, we broaden your horizons and encourage creative connections. Through the design and décor of our building, the partnerships we form, and the events we organize, we bring social impact to life. We show you and let you experience what's already possible.
