General

What exactly do you do?

Social Impact Factory is the hotspot voor social impact. From our locations in Amsterdam and Utrecht, we have the ambition to make social impact the new normal in our society.

As a B Corp and SDG-House, we bring parties together and help new initiatives and collaborations come to life. Our members and partners find innovative solutions to social issues in very diverse ways. They put their mission first; making money is not the main goal, but a means to work on a world we would like to live in tomorrow. We stimulate collaborations and connections between government, businesses, professionals, and citizens to accelerate the movement towards a sustainable society.

At our centrally located venues, we offer workspaces, meeting rooms, and event spaces for valuable encounters. Through our inspiration sessions and events, we broaden your perspective and encourage creative connections. In the design and decoration of our building, the collaborations we engage in, and the events we organize, we bring social impact to life. We show you and let you experience what is already possible.
