Stockholm Impact Ecosystem Accelerator

in partnership with DEEP Ecosystems

The City of Stockholm believes in the great potential of its impact innovation scene and wants to take on a constructive leadership role in connecting the global ecosystem. Therefore, Stockholm supports projects from Stockholm and all over the world, who look to integrate the impact innovation spaces in Stockholm with the world. 

The global impact ecosystem is still fragmented and disintegrated. Let us collaborate to change this!

In a 6-week “Ecosystem Accelerator” Program offered together with DEEP Ecosystems, we support initiatives aiming to connect global impact communities. The concrete result will be collaborations of Stockholm-based and global impact leaders joining forces for social and environmental impact.

Target Audience:

• Impact support organizations or investors from Europe and beyond
• International policy makers or corporate representatives running sustainability activities
• Established and emerging Stockholm-based impact support organizations

Share your project ideas on connecting global impact ecosystems and participate in a 6-week Ecosystem Accelerator to turn them into reality
