The number of displaced people worldwide has risen to +100 Million.
The reasons for leaving one’s home country are becoming increasingly diverse. In addition to wars, political reasons, and ethnic or gender-based oppression, environmental disasters and the effects of climate change are becoming increasingly important as reasons for leaving one’s home country.
We need more solutions that address the root causes and effects of flight and displacement with an emphasis on changing conditions.
Do you have an idea for a solution?
This is your chance to be the driving force behind transformation. We are looking for startups that are working on solutions that for example want to reduce causes for displacement, protect people fleeing, empower displaced people to shape their futures or support destigmatization of people fleeing.
We can help you with our incubator and accelerator program
In our accelerator program, we will guide you for 5 months to turn your idea into reality. We offer you access to funding, coaching from experienced mentors, access to our network. We will work side by side at bUm. A co-working space for social entrepreneurs, nonprofit organizations and activists.

Our Impact Summit is joint Demo Day and Kick-Off Event
We say goodbye to the participants of one program and welcome the participants of the next program with a big joint event. This way, the new participants see what to expect right on their first day. And they can connect with our entire impact community at this event.
Montly Pitch’n’Lunch Events
To get an idea of our program, you can register for one of the two upcoming pitch events, where participants from our current Ukraine Response Program #2 will pitch their startups in front of an audience. Of course you can also watch our pitch events online. You can find the corresponding zoom links at eventbrite.
