GET TO KNOW US
Who we are
Born in Afghanistan, impACT is a solidarity network of entrepreneurs creating equal access to opportunity for social impact. We provide social entrepreneurs with access to knowledge, network, and resources to solve social challenges through entrepreneurial ventures. We do this through events, training, research, policy discussion and city-level competitions in partnership with governments, corporate sector, civil society, and international development partners.
What we believe
Anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit should have access to networks, resources and knowledge in order create a social impact for communities!
impACT’s methodology for entreprenuerial success is the Power Triangle Model®. It facilitates collaborative and social innovation on the micro, meso and macro levels of the global social startup ecosystem through the exchange of networks, resources and knowledge.
How it all started
In the aftermath of a series of severe attacks in Afghanistan; especially the one in Kabul on the German Embassy on the 31st of May 2017, Ahmad Fahim Didar, Nicole Bogott and Matiullah Rahmaty came together to discuss opportunities to start a new narrative on Afghanistan; inside and outside of the country. This is how impACT was first created.
Afghanistan is a country that has continuously been portrayed very negatively in the media with one-sided stories on war, violence, and hardship. And yes, it is part of the story of Afghanistan. But Afghanistan also has another side to it, which is equally real, and impACT is telling that story. We want to change the narrative by highlighting entrepreneurial approaches that address societal challenges.

We are proud to support impACT, an initiative that fosters the growth of new perspectives in Afghanistan by supporting entrepreneurs.
impACT provides the platform to address social challenges such as migration through entrepreneurship. We fully support this initiative.
impACT as a platform can lead to many different opportunities and one of these opportunities is to serve as a bridge to connect communities with a mix of knowledge and art. I wish them full success.
