Enabling Social Innovation Where It Matters Most

We support selected social enterprises and impact-driven initiatives through partnerships, knowledge sharing, and targeted support — with a focus on long-term, sustainable impact.

What we do

Impaktera acts as an enabling organization for social innovation. We support social enterprises and mission-driven initiatives that develop sustainable solutions to societal challenges — particularly in health, education, water, and responsible resource use.

We do not implement aid projects directly. Instead, we focus on strengthening the organizations and people behind effective solutions.

Why Social enterprises matter:

10M

There are around 10 million social enterprises worldwide. These organisations put purpose before profit, operating across sectors and geographies.

$2T

Social enterprises generate about $2 trillion in annual revenue. That's roughly comparable to major global industries, showing their economic significance as well as social impact.

200M

They create an estimated 200 million jobs globally. This means social enterprises are major employers — often in underserved or high-need areas.
