Our Vision

Humanity is faced with unprecedented changes, challenges, and chances.At ImpactX, we believe we are entering the Changemaker Decade, where people everywhere – at all walks of life, at all ages, and at any social standing – are energized to express their agency, creativity and empathy by taking part in taking action to improve our world. Some call Changemaking “the new literacy for the 21st century.” We know that hundreds of millions of people are engaged in some form of Changemaking, and more people and organizations are getting involved every day. Our calling is to support every Changemaker’s journey. ImpactX is about changing the way you change the world.

ImpactX presents an alternative to the proprietary, siloed world that inhibits us from learning from each other. We use platform technology to connect, instead of atomise, people, data, projects, and knowledge because we cannot afford the waste that comes from reinventing the wheel or investing in ineffective approaches. The ImpactX network and platform are uniquely architected to promote networked intelligence while also allowing users to own and control their own data. Here is an “enablement system” for the Changemaker, as well as an infrastructure for growing and improving performance in the diverse global impact community.
