The Social Impact Award (SIA) helps young people discover the world of social entrepreneurship. Since 2009, the SIA has supported young social entrepreneurs in more than 25 countries, creating a deep impact within local communities.

The Social Impact Award (SIA) was founded in Austria in 2009 to inspire young people to find solutions to the problems of our time and turn them into sustainable business ideas. It offers young people educational and incubation programmes in more than 25 countries across Europe, Africa and Asia. Events and workshops aim at raising awareness of social entrepreneurship. The SIA provides the necessary skills to turn vague intentions into promising business cases, offers access to networks and rewards the best teams with a prize, the Social Impact Award. 

Successful solutions are promoted for the problems of our time: increasing emigration, poverty, food waste, climate change, exclusion of people with disabilities and many more. The Impact Ventures contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
