I had the amazing opportunity to join the conference Social Economy 2023– Building a stronger and resilient Europe as a panelist, where I engaged in a thought-provoking discussion on the fascinating topic of financing social innovation alongside esteemed stakeholders from across Europe. I believe we should revisit the whole funding model through an approach that leverages COLLECTIVE IMPACT. ![]()

Without a centralized coordination among organizations working towards addressing social issues, our progress in finding effective solutions will remain limited. In other words, measuring money spent is not the correct success indicator. ![]()

Let's take a remarkable example of collective impact in action: Cincinnati's Strive initiative (www.strivetogether.org). 🌟 This nonprofit subsidiary of KnowledgeWorks rallied together over 300 influential leaders from diverse organizations, including private foundations, corporations, government officials, education representatives, and advocacy groups. They recognized that fixing isolated points within the educational continuum wouldn't yield significant results unless every aspect improved in unison. 🎓📚![]()

Instead of pursuing individual agendas, these visionary leaders embarked on a shared mission to coordinate improvements at every stage of a young person's life, from "cradle to career." 🌱✨ They didn't attempt to reinvent the wheel or solely advocate for increased funding. Instead, they meticulously structured their process, establishing a common set of goals and shared measurement practices. The participating organizations were grouped into Student Success Networks (SSNs), where they met regularly, exchanging insights, aligning efforts, and developing performance indicators to drive progress. 📈🔄![]()

The extraordinary success of Strive serves as a testament to the power of collective impact—an approach that unites influential actors from diverse sectors, fostering a shared commitment to solving complex social problems. 🌍🤝 This is more than just collaboration; it's a structured initiative with a dedicated staff and centralized infrastructure. It emphasizes continuous communication, a common agenda, and mutually reinforcing activities, ensuring that everyone moves forward together. 🚀💪![]()

🎬 Today, we're taking you on a journey back to the beginning of Babele with a video we produced 9 years ago, before our official launch.

We are excited to share our ongoing collaboration with the prestigious Copenhagen Business School (CBS). Since 2014, we have been working with CBS on their Massive Open Online Course on Social Entrepreneurship, providing our acceleration management software to help students and social entrepreneurs develop their projects and bring them to life.![]()
But our partnership with CBS doesn't stop there. In 2020, we worked together on the COVID-WISE program, an incubator designed to find actionable solutions to combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on society. And we are thrilled to announce that in 2022, COVID-WISE evolved into Impakt Wise and became a reference social innovation program across 17 countries, through the Aurora project.![]()
