What is the Impact Program?

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.

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!

Who are our pioneers?

The Impact Program is suitable for people from all walks of life with an ambitious and entrepreneurial nature. It specifically caters to those in need of guidance to jumpstart benevolent solutions within the Amsterdam region. We are not talking about idealistic dreams and utopian fairy tales but rather initiators of disruptive innovations and concrete ideas. We like to call these great minds “Pioneers”.

Pioneers are individuals on their way from an idea to implementation of their project, also known as the “pioneer phase”. The main idea is that pioneers can qualify to apply when they are still focusing on establishing the company, as well as some research and product development is still ongoing.

So if you were waiting for the perfect time to seize an opportunity of being heard, this is your chance!
