Impact Hub Association closes collaboration with the team in Manila

In 2015 Impact Hub Manila established itself and joined the global Impact Hub Network, which now comprises 112 Impact Hub communities in cities across the world and 14 in the Asia-Pacific region (Almaty, Dhaka, Jakarta, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, Kyoto, Phnom Penh, Shanghai, Taipei, Tbilisi, Thimphu, Tokyo, Waikato, and Yangon ). Over the last 8 years, Impact Hub Manila has worked with many purpose-driven entrepreneurs whose innovative ideas sought to bring about transformative change in the lives of Filipinos and has supported the growth and innovation of numerous ventures at various stages of development across different regions of the Philippines.

With a mix of both regret and careful consideration, we announce a change in the membership status of Impact Hub Manila within our Association. It has been decided, in the best interest of our Association, to conclude our partnership with Impact Hub Manila. The team in Manila will continue to advance sustainability, equity, and inclusion in a more localised approach in their city, operating under a new brand and identity: ‘Innovation Catalyst’.

We want to take this opportunity to thank all the partners and community members of Impact Hub Manila for your engagement, collaboration and impact-commitment throughout the years - providing inspiration for other Impact Makers across our global community. We will ensure a smooth transition for all stakeholders involved. If you are a local group of impact entrepreneurs or an already running impact entrepreneurship local entity and are interested in opening a new Impact Hub in the Philippines, please visit our global Impact Hub website.
