Impact Week gUG is a non-profit company that fosters innovation and entrepreneurship as well as intercultural and intercompany exchange in countries of the Global South. Impact Week unites innovative minds from different backgrounds, countries, and organizations to collaborate on driving positive societal transformation in their communities and aim at creating meaningful and lasting change in our host countries.
We provide resources and support in the form of Design Thinking training to local staff of universities and NGOs. The goal is to train local community leaders who can become multipliers of the knowledge in order to empower local communities to become more self-sufficient and create innovative solutions for their challenges. Through this initiative, we have been able to address challenges such as food security, health, education, green energy, and urban development, and some of the ideas have even transformed into successful start-ups.
