The Impact Program is your opportunity to bring forth a prototype of a solution regarding a real-world problem. Offered by TEDxAmsterdam, this journey functions as a catalyst for positive change. Each year we source bold ideas with the potential to address pressing matters. We look for ideas that cover a wide range of fields— from global health to climate change to social justice to education.

In the course of 5 months the program will prepare you by means of curated workshops, including a business development workshops by Startupbootcamp, storytelling coaching from Mezrab Storytelling School, pitch training by David Beckett, 1-on-1 monthly mentorship moments and presentation design workshops by DEPT Agency. Throughout the full period you will have access to a Startup Community and extensive E-learning platform which allows you to learn more about all aspects of building a company.

Don’t worry. The Impact Program is designed to be possible alongside a busy schedule. Therefore we have made sure that most of the sessions are digital, and there is lots of space to breathe in-between mentoring sessions to be as respectful as possible of your time.

There is an opportunity to receive additional support from some of our partners including City of Amsterdam, Miro, WeWork and TCS based on the needs of the pioneers. More to be revealed!
