Networking in Impact Investing

How Impact Europe builds powerful connections 

Networking in Impact Investing

Networking in impact investing is more than exchanging contacts – it’s a powerful driver of collaboration and impact. At Impact Europe, we’ve seen how connections create partnerships, unlock capital and shape the future of impact investing. From curated connections to unmissable events, we help our community of changemakers, practitioners and innovators across Europe and beyond to connect with purpose.  
 

What Impact Europe offers 

At Impact Europe, we design spaces for collaboration and peer learning because we know that change doesn’t happen in isolation. We connect impact players through: 

  • Events, both online and in-person, where you can exchange ideas, explore new opportunities and meet fellow impact players across the ecosystem. 
  • Communities of practice, where smaller groups of practitioners' dives into specific topics, share methodologies, co-invest and co-create new approaches. 
  • 1:1 curated connections, facilitated by our dedicated membership team to help you meet the right people at the right time. 

Whether it’s the dynamic conversations at Impact Week, the collaborative spirit of our communities of practice or the peer learning fostered in our trainings, our activities are designed to connect people who are driving change. 
 

Real Impact, Real Results 

Last year we facilitated 67 tailored connections between members, brought together nearly 1,000 impact players at Impact Week and enabled 448 online meetings through our event app – who knows how many more happened offline informally over a coffee during Impact Week networking sessions?   

These aren’t just numbers; we consider them the seeds of future collaborations that will become fruitful trees. One impactful example: Impact Shakers and Victrix Family Office, Impact Europe members, first connected through our network, and that connection led to Victrix stepping in as the anchor investor in Impact Shakers’ €20M VC fund.
